- 0:34[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we don't do transitions.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we don't do transitions.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: I just thought I just thought I would have been weird if my mistake was the end of those oak street.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: But, right.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but we don't.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_01]: Why did you start it off?
- 0:49[SPEAKER_01]: We had such fun.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_01]: Before the podcast, now you're starting it in a different way, Bray.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_01]: The thing is that.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_00]: The thing is, what's most conducive to comedy is just completely eliminating all momentum, just making everyone stop and sit in a dead silence for a few beats.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: You know?
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: And then that's how you bring it back.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just rev it back up.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: You a-roll, you a-roll.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, this is a film review podcast, as you well know.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: We review the film, a leading black actors on our free podcast.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: But now, we can do it at something a little different with Patreon.
- 1:30[SPEAKER_00]: As we talked about last week with Spider-Man, brand new day, it's a brand new day here for us.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it isn't the end of a street.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: He won't stop.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a new day for us.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to start reviewing films that are in theaters that are popular that we like we want to talk about and it's not fair just because the black people aren't the least doesn't mean we shouldn't get the chance to speak speak on it
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: And there are black people in this world.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't given up our, we haven't given up our true roots.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_01]: So we only do it on pressure.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: The only option for the main press still lead in black actors.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: And that's right.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's a color.
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to hear like our 100% no holds bar opinions, you have to come get through that paywall.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 2:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's literally only five hours a month.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: So I know y'all listen this for free right now.

- 2:28[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_02]: Now.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_02]: That's true, it just so happens that the popular movie that's out this week that's out at this time doesn't have a black lead in it.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and there are three of us who host this.
- 2:53[SPEAKER_00]: The one that you're listening to right now that, honestly, look,
- 3:00[SPEAKER_00]: Even if I messin' up, like, me being optimistic is not a bad thing.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_00]: Okay?
- 3:06[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think being optimistic is a bad thing.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_01]: You bad to be, anybody getting it?
- 3:09[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think being optimistic is a bad thing.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_01]: They go in.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_01]: They go in.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_01]: They go in, they go in.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_01]: You will.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_00]: This is Johnathan, Johnathan Bre, like, I'm gonna be optimistic.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know, this is this is the realist.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like you need to be honest with me.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_01]: How we go a survive?
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: What we need to do?
- 3:29[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, all right, this is this this this this this is the voice of the person who should have been and had the waste husband in the movie and in real life All right, this is that the drama
- 3:41[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 4:00[SPEAKER_01]: because she's different.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_00]: We're like if I have to say different than other white women is that I'm saying like a hat the way she she she gets it bro She gets it that's all I'm gonna say I find that a a surprisingly high percentage of women do not like Hannah and Hathaway.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: I think more more women than men because I feel like every time I'm like talk about it in Hathaway
- 4:22[SPEAKER_00]: There's a few women who are like, uh, how am I?
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: I'm surprising about a black man like Anne Hathaway.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: So what do we see?
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: See, so what, what did the white women see today?
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: Don't like it.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, Hathaway.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, wait a minute.
- 4:32[SPEAKER_01]: You know Twitter.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_02]: Bro, this so many Twitter threats about Anne Hathaway is that specifically is that turn?
- 4:38[SPEAKER_02]: No, because you know, it's starting.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_01]: Twitter.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, bro, it started because not last season.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, like two seasons ago, she had like, maybe she had managed for a little bit.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_01]: She popped back up again.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_01]: And she started the period that she's in there.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_02]: And then she started the period that next time was why she vanished because she did 12.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_01]: And I think she had her first kid.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: I think she had her first kid.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she had her first kid.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_01]: But she got a popping bag up, and she was just chilling.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: Like, never saw you dressing like sexy.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_01]: She just me like in sweats, at Nix Games.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it was like one of the games were like, they, like, dabbed and hit her in the crowd.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_01]: And she was like post and I was so excited.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you know, she just did like a bunch of like down regular shit that wasn't extra.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, mm-hmm.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_01]: She's the one she's speaking out about, like, people of color and stuff right now.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_01]: I was like,
- 5:22[SPEAKER_01]: You rock out, okay?
- 5:23[SPEAKER_01]: You go ahead, speak your shit.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I'm gonna say.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: That was all a name and introduction.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_01]: Cause you maybe defend my love at Hathwin.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_02]: And I was ready for it.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_02]: I had time.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_02]: And I had time.
- 5:36[SPEAKER_02]: And that voice that was going the bat for Ann Hathaway.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_02]: That's hard.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna jump through the portal together, hand in hand.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_01]: We did a little black candy found.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_02]: This boy's who is certainly getting eat up right away instantaneously.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: That boy says James the bird and James is that because you are so you will be so excited to see the dinosaurs that you get eaten so bad.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see I don't think I would.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm scared enough of dinosaurs at this point that I wouldn't be trying to go up and touch them with nothing like that.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_02]: I would probably be peek I might be peeking I might be peeking.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_01]: What's the scarier dinosaur of James?
- 6:19[SPEAKER_01]: Is it the lizard looking dinosaur or the actual chicken looking dinosaurs, which one is most scarier?
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: Do you mean like the like the like the actual way that science here representation?
- 6:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the way science shows like this movie the fur and the more like bird life versus
- 6:39[SPEAKER_02]: There's an unhingedness to how they designed the dinosaurs in this movie, that is that would make it more frightening if you had like a Jurassic Park Velociraptor standing next to whatever the bipedal ones were in this, I don't know what kind they were, you know, like, were they for loss of raptor, I think they certainly were raptors, right?
- 7:07[SPEAKER_01]: I read it in more supposed to be raptors, but they didn't go with the tiny raptors, because I think people wouldn't be scared of.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_02]: But I have always thought that the smaller, like dinosaur, like a chicken size raptor I thought would be terrifying.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: I've genuinely always thought that, and I don't know why they don't lean into it, or like what they started doing with the Compsog with this and the later Jurassic.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're so bizarre, maybe?
- 7:36[SPEAKER_02]: But they didn't you put 70 of them together.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, that's terrifying, but it's like a little chicken.
- 7:44[SPEAKER_01]: People like I can kick that little thing.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_01]: Whereas this one, they made a bigger, but not a big thing.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: Are those like the ones that were in the lost world?
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like the comments.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah, like the comments.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so I'm very curious, James, that the person who loves the Rathapark and dinosaurs, which dinosaur you prefer the design.
- 8:04[SPEAKER_02]: I'm open to both to either design, but you asked specifically what scarier and I thought that the way that they designed them in this because they look
- 8:13[SPEAKER_02]: there's stuff about them that's, it just looks strange, you're not expecting, you know, there's something off about them, you know, they're not clean, they're all messy, you know, their teeth are wrangled, they're, you know, there's something gritty about them.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought that these were scary or looking dinosaurs in general and Jurassic dinosaurs.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: So as you already know, we are reviewing the end of Oak Street with stars and Hathaway, you and McGregor,
- 8:41[SPEAKER_00]: Some kids, some kids, not now, they're great.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_00]: Macy's Stella and Christian Convery are their names and then Jordan Alexa Davis is the black girl in this.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: PJ Burn has a little comedic role.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's mostly the families.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_00]: And look, this movie.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, here's the thing, run tomatoes, run tomatoes, crush it at 86% fresh.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, tomato meter, 77% popcorn meter.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: So that's, I mean, a little less, but still pretty good.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_02]: I just wonder what it is compared to other like Jurassic Park movies in terms of like audience score and stuff.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_02]: I shouldn't have, but I want to.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, what other ones like past the first one?
- 9:40[SPEAKER_02]: I think the more recent one, the first one, yeah.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I would imagine, certainly better than the more recent Jurassic World, the more dramatic world dominion.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_02]: As like most recent, as well, was rebirth.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_02]: Rebirth.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so Jurassic World, rebirth.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: Holy fuck.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Jurassic World rebirth apparently has a 70% popcorn meter.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: So it's better than that, but it's, but 70% for rebirth is wild.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's critic meter is 50%.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_02]: It just was better than Dominion.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_02]: I think is happy.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think everything.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_02]: Dominion was just in most people like that.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_00]: Some people Dominion.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: 2 million has a 77% Unbelievable.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_02]: And that's just going to be like, can you believe Alan Grant was back like
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny though because there's such a huge like discrepancy between the critics and the audience.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: There's a, Dominion is a 28% yes for critics score as it should be yeah as it should be as it's like Dominion anyway, I mean we're gonna definitely compare we have to compare you must especially Dominion
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right?
- 10:54[SPEAKER_00]: I guess a little bit like, especially good.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_02]: Demision falling kingdom a little bit, you know, I guess a dominion rebirth, maybe maybe rebirth a little bit.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe rebirth a little bit, at least the start of rebirth, but like the idea of dominion is like, hey, they're out everywhere now.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_00]: Um, oh, fallen kingdom has the worst audience score 48% yeah, and then 47 47 47 for critics.
- 11:20[SPEAKER_00]: So so critics and audience were they had one agreement on a dinosaur movie and that was Jurassic World fall in kingdom.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_00]: We we everyone agrees this will be sucks.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 11:33[SPEAKER_00]: So, the box office, it opened at 21 million, you know, it was crowded out by Spider-Man.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_00]: Probably both in the amount of theaters it's been released in, and obviously people going to see it.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_00]: Currently is sitting at 72 million worldwide with more of that coming from international.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_00]: So the budget is about 80, yeah.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_01]: What sucks is this movie's so original that I wish it would it came out, or people keep saying, I wanna brush this fuck up and that's not making to come out earlier in the summer.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_01]: And I do think it's a little bit about it because you want creative movies like this.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_01]: It would it came out in May.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think that had been, I don't know if it's like Memorial Day weekend.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think that's a much better time because this Blackboard season started off, it was like it grabbed up.
- 12:21[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm supposed to come out next summer.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_00]: interesting.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you can still do pretty well in August.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_00]: Still like, like, Guardians of the Galaxy was released in August, but I guess, I mean, I know it's Marvel, but I guess no one is like, I don't know.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: I just, right.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, I don't think it's to come out before, like, it's this is seemingly like, oh, you cannot in advance of Odyssey, advance of Spider-Man, so that you can make money for those movies.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_02]: And then I also felt
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: Like the marketing was not like the marketing for this movie did not match a movie that cost 80 to 90 million dollars with two huge stars in it.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: Like a kind of felt like they were like, yeah, maybe people will see this.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was just like hot.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's a movie about dinosaurs.
- 13:15[SPEAKER_01]: What?
- 13:17[SPEAKER_01]: But on the town they were saying, once the trailer came out,
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: And here, right, I'm that they played it enough and had, when I posted up, they said, what's the chair that came out?
- 13:26[SPEAKER_01]: Interest in the movie did peak.
- 13:27[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, oh, the movie was tracking well.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that, like, the tracking didn't mix with the promotion of the movie.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_01]: So it was almost like, uh, agreed.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_01]: But, but someone also mentioned, what's happening at Warner Bros. right now is that, because of this merger, they're not being allowed to almost do anything.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_01]: So they're like, they,
- 13:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they aren't getting approvals to like, green light movies or do this in that because, you know, the kind of the.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the saddest things in Hollywood is what's happening with Warner Brothers and how they've fumbled so hard everything that they've been doing.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: While still having incredible films at their disposal and HBO, it's just like, it's like they have so much good stuff attached to them and yet,
- 14:18[SPEAKER_01]: What isn't, I just, so to me, it's not them.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I think, so the team that has had as green lit, all these movies, were the two people I came over to the names right now, but it's a man and woman.
- 14:32[SPEAKER_01]: The team that green lit all these successful movies are the people that,
- 14:35[SPEAKER_01]: that main evil white dude was going to fire.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that now, they've had so much success.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_01]: He almost can't fire them.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_01]: But also he is not giving them enough power to like get anything done.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm looking at this in a world where like the two front runners for the Oscars for 2020, 25, where you're movies.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_01]: Like you're movies.
- 14:59[SPEAKER_01]: the people nominated where people from your movies and I'm looking at this movie in particular that you did like scholars said they did re-cut this yes Pam and Mike there we go scholar great um they re-cut this movie so many times they changed the ending to this so many times and James I found out with the original ending it's I don't know if you heard we were talking about it no I haven't heard original ending is fan freaking weird okay so we've talked about it but um
- 15:27[SPEAKER_01]: But they have our HBO world.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_01]: Apple has more shows than HBO does.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_01]: And we used to joke that Apple was the channel like celebrities, just what to make shows, no one ever saw.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: What does the HBO show you're checking for right now?
- 15:46[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, well, I mean, I feel is still doing well.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I liked the it show.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_02]: I like could not put the it show.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_01]: I know, but what I'm saying is usually every season, they have a beat show.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_02]: Also the dragon.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I guess right now, last season, I can still be right.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, and I'm enjoying lanterns.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_00]: I know it is a point of, I mean, they had, they had a couple of shows that did well with the Emmys, like DTF.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, we like St. Louis.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then,
- 16:16[SPEAKER_00]: the rooster show, which I haven't seen.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_00]: I did watch rooster.
- 16:19[SPEAKER_01]: It was cool.
- 16:22[SPEAKER_01]: I can't bring myself to watch it.
- 16:24[SPEAKER_00]: And then a tap, tap, tap.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think did really well.
- 16:28[SPEAKER_00]: Or at least, anyways.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_00]: I've, how's the dragon is?
- 16:33[SPEAKER_01]: You like it?
- 16:34[SPEAKER_01]: I heard like the first season like people hated it.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_00]: And now the first season I, the first season I did not like it.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: I was like very, very annoyed because they were doing all these huge time jumps.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: Like we were getting used to characters and then like, and then it would be like 10 years later.
- 16:47[SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, what?
- 16:49[SPEAKER_00]: But they finally settled.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_00]: I guess into what the show actually is now.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: And so I like it more.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: I like it more now.
- 16:57[SPEAKER_00]: And it's great acting.
- 16:58[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about the end of Oak Street.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: So this is an original script.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'll see that right.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_00]: Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, who most people will know from it.
- 17:13[SPEAKER_00]: Followed that this way.
- 17:14[SPEAKER_00]: The 2018, sorry, 2014, or so.
- 17:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, came out a lot of that.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_01]: So the sequels coming out with next year, that's great.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god, that's love to get.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_00]: As we said it, yeah, who would stars, you know, produced by JJ Abrams, there's a little bit of that mixed in.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just about a family who's in a suburban neighborhood that gets transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: And they perfection, try to survive.
- 17:57[SPEAKER_01]: Like me can't jump
