00:00:00
Speaker
Hello and welcome to episode 24 of the Two Guys One Screen podcast. My name is Nick. And I'm Gerald. And today, Moana too. Woohoo. Yeah, sure.
Nick's First Viewing of Moana and Pixar Rankings
00:00:15
Speaker
I watched Moana for the first time this week. I'd never seen Moana one. And we'll we'll get to that.
00:00:27
Speaker
We're also going to do our top 10 Pixar movies of all time at the end of the episode. We know this is not Pixar. ah But let's face it, Pixar is the pinnacle of animation. It's true. like They don't miss. They they really don't miss. um So we will we will do that. Before we get into our physical media pickups, we'll do...
Social Media and Listener Engagement
00:00:55
Speaker
ah So follow us on Instagram, two guys, one screen pod, sending comments, concerns, movie requests to two guys, one screen pod at gmail dot.com. Follow us on letter boxed and follow us on TikTok. All the links will be in the description. We're back on TikTok, baby. We are back. Getting them numbers again. Back back to the but way it should be. Our Glicked clip is is doing well.
00:01:27
Speaker
all because I called Jim Ross, J.R. Smith, which is pretty insulting. It's kind of insulting. yeah I mean, Jim Ross is a legend. Yeah, J.R. Smith is not a legend. No, I mean, he is infamous for being terrible.
Gerald's Movie Store Adventures
00:01:42
Speaker
So we'll ah we'll start with the physical media pickups now. I did have the opportunity to go back to my movie store. It's been a hot, hot minute for for me. I told you about I think I told you three out of the four, and I didn't tell you the fourth one, because I was leaving you guys a little surprise. Is that the one where you said you had a little special something? A little special something. um' ah It's only special because I got a good deal on it. Oh, OK. But you mentioned on an episode that either hasn't been released or has been released, I don't know at this point, that you grabbed the Godzilla Criterion 4K.
00:02:22
Speaker
Yeah. Take that up. ah They had it for $28. I'm not going to take note of $28 4K
Discussing American Made and Tom Cruise
00:02:28
Speaker
criteria. I'm just not. No, I think I paid like $25, because it was the Barnes and Noble sale. but Right. I've yet to watch it, but I i will. Next we got American Made. I thought this was a car movie. It's not. It's a movie.
00:02:49
Speaker
Shout out to Jake. ah He recommended it to me a long time ago. Like when I first probably got letterboxed, it's like one of the first movies I had in my watch list. So it's been on there for like a good three years. And it's not at all about cars. It's about ah this pilot who's played by Tom Cruise that helps smuggle ah drugs out of Columbia into America and then help the Americans bring ah guns into Latin America.
00:03:19
Speaker
Oh, so it's kind of like. Go ahead. It's a true story. It's they say it's based on a true story. Yeah. But the problem is, at the end, they show the guy who it's based off of and he looks nothing like Tom Cruise, like at all. Tom Cruise is a terrible casting of all the people you could cast. You pick Tom Cruise. What is it? It probably just wanted like to put people in the seats. Barry Seal. So I'm just going to show you real quick what Barry Seal looks like.
Harry Potter Character Confusion
00:03:50
Speaker
This is Barry Seal. Oh. And for some reason, they were like, yeah, Tom Cruise. I don't i don't know. Maybe he was skinny in his young days. Right. ah I did watch this movie. It's it's fine. It takes like the biopic, Scarface kind of arc where like you see the rise to like he has so much money as no to do with it till he has nothing.
00:04:16
Speaker
um It's a fine, it's a fine movie. Our boy Ron Weasley, uh, Dom Hogg Leeson is like the co-star in that movie. And he looks very different. Who? Uh, the guy that plays Ron Weasley. His name is Rupert Grint. Cut that. Don't cut that. Who is he in Harry Potter? I don't know. He should probably look it up. Oh, he's one of the fucking twins. Oh, okay.
00:04:45
Speaker
Which one is he? Fred or and or George. He's Bill Weasley. Oh, boop Bill. Who's Bill, the dad? No, that's George. Bill's the older brother, like he already graduated. um He just works for the ministry.
00:05:06
Speaker
Well, I'm fucking idiot, so there's that. He was a Weasley. You got it right. To be fair, I need to be refreshed on my Harry Potter, Laura Winkling. Are you drinking Sprite? Yeah. Problem? No. No. I just wasn't expecting it.
00:05:29
Speaker
All right. Sorry. um Let's go to the next physical media pickup.
Physical Media Collections
00:05:35
Speaker
I found um Alien vs Predator, the first one. Mmm. Because I had picked up Alien vs Predator Requiem way way back in the day ah during our Alien Romulus episode, I picked that up. And I watched the both of those. Let me tell you, that's 90 minutes I can't get back. Yikes, Bob and Jerry. The first one, I don't hate. No, but again, Requiem is like, what the fuck?
00:05:59
Speaker
Again, why do we need those? We don't, but I had to complete the Alien collection. You got Alien vs. Predator, and you got Freddy vs. Jason. Freddy vs. Jason's good. Freddy vs. Jason's so good.
00:06:11
Speaker
ah The next movie I have, or I picked up, is called Rain of Fire. Let me tell you something. Rain of Fire? I don't know if anybody even knows the movie exists. I heard it on the House of Cinema podcast. Shout out to him again. ah This movie stars Christian Bale, Gerard Butler, and Matthew McConaughey, and they fight dragons. What do you want? What more do you want in life?
00:06:35
Speaker
Did you watch it? Yes, and it's I almost said great. It's very good. I gave it a three. and I gave it a three and a half stars. It's solid, dude. Is the E R I G N or a R A I N. It's R E I G N like the rain of of the fire, of like Roman Reigns, the big dog himself. Fuck that guy. Get the fuck out of here.
00:06:58
Speaker
o ah The last one. This is a 4K steelbook that I got for, I believe the number was $16, might've been $16.99. And you know how much these Johns go for, so I was like, fuck it, I'm doing it. Okay, I'm very excited. You shouldn't be. The money Mummy 4K Steelbook. Oh, yeah. I'll tell you.
00:07:26
Speaker
he told you not to ah but Dude for for 16. Oh, I would buy that. Yeah, why not? Because Walmart has it for what 2528. Yeah, so you got it for like $10 cheaper. Yeah. Yeah. And I already said in this podcast, I want to complete the horror universal classic horror monster steelbook collection. That's a mouthful. um So this is a.
00:07:53
Speaker
Also, yeah it looks cool. You said the movie's boring as fuck, right? Yeah, nothing happens. All right. Well, it looks cool. And it's going to go next to Frankenstein. I've fucked up today, dude. I don't know what the fuck's going on. Frankenstein.
00:08:09
Speaker
ah And those are are my pickups for this week, besides the one you're going to say we both got. Yeah, so this week I only have ah two pickups.
00:08:22
Speaker
ah The first one being the one that we both have, which is the Scream Factory 4K of Mike Flanagan's Hush. Great movie. Great movie. Probably the best home invasion. Yeah, i think I think so. It's pretty good. I need to watch the black and white version. That's probably spooky. Maybe we do it for the podcast next year. The black and white version? Yeah. Okay. And the other...
00:08:52
Speaker
pickup I got was a little Black Friday sale thing at Walmart, and it was ah the first omen for $12. I wanted to come out this year. Yeah. Yeah, there's a scene in that that I was mentioning a lot on a couple of episodes back. ah There's a birthing scene that really is the only thing I remember that movie is the birthing scene really got you going. It's it's I was like, oh, it is rough. Nasty ass shit.
00:09:23
Speaker
Yeah, it's not great. That's what we're here for, though. It is. I do need to get the first Omen to finish off my Omen collection. Omen collection. Yeah. An optimally screen factory puts it out, says so it all makes sense. Speaking of screen factory, next week, they're they're you know we're recording this the week of Black Friday, Cyber Monday. So expect some an uptick in the physical media pickup department, I would say, the next two weeks.
00:09:52
Speaker
For you, for sure. I only bought one thing. Oh, all right. Well, at least for me, then. I got I got four or five Jones. And then I was debating one that's still my Amazon cart that I haven't bought yet. It's dollars. I'm not sure why I'm debating, but I'm debating. Pull trigger. The movie's not that good. That's why I'm debating it for seven dollars. I'm like, ah maybe.
00:10:19
Speaker
ah All that being said, we will ah get into our Moana 2 review.
Challenges of Watching Moana 2
00:10:27
Speaker
um This is the sequel to Moana 1. Whoa, that's a spoiler. We are going to spoil the fuck out of this movie. So if you haven't seen it, maybe come back later. Or don't, I don't know. But um i I will say this. Last week I said that Wicked was the hardest time I've had getting into a movie theater. Moana 2 takes the cake now. I mean I could not. I saw this movie the day before recording at 11am.
00:11:02
Speaker
Yeah. I had to, uh, we were going to take, it was going to be four of us and then we downgraded to three of us. Cause it goingnna be was marketing ago. No, um no, it was going to be, uh, me, my fiance, her brother and their mom could be a little family get together. Uh, yeah. mom and the outing Yeah. Mom, you got pushed aside. Uh, cause we could only get like three seats in a row in every single showing before this episode.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, Alma was sold out completely the whole weekend. I looked on Thursday. They were sold out all the way through Sunday. Yeah. That's when we bought our tickets. Yeah. So I was just like, I guess I'll figure it out some other, some other time. And then I went to, uh, my 11 am m showing was supposed to be just me and like four people, but then by the time the movie started, it was pretty full.
00:11:55
Speaker
Do you have a lot of annoying little kids? A lot of little kids, but I wouldn't say they were annoying. Oh, lucky you. I've dealt with worse, I would say. Like those kids playing football in the hallway. Fuck those kids. Yeah. If you're listening, fuck you. Um, I do.
Critique of The Rock's Movie Roles
00:12:10
Speaker
So you told me through text that Moana one for you is like a four star. yeah I watched Moana one. I'm, I'm just not that impressed.
00:12:20
Speaker
I don't know. I, you know what it is, what it really boils down to. I really don't like the rock in anything he does. No, I just, well, all right. Let's, let's take it back to like three weeks ago. The rock is in that new movie red one with JK Simmons. Correct. And his character in that movie is like a half man, half, uh, supernatural being. Okay. Right.
00:12:49
Speaker
i forgot what it's called he's like an elf phrase's like part elf or something like that he has magical powers okay gay um
00:12:59
Speaker
and There's a scene where like they're going to like, they're going to fight spoilers for right one. They're going to fight Krampus. That's hype. Um, that's why i I like the movie's not as bad as people say it is. The lore is there. The lore is fucking make another one. Make red to red. I He has magical powers, okay? Gay.
00:13:23
Speaker
Make red fucking two. I don't give a shit. Wouldn't that mean that there's multiple Santas? The multiverse bring fucking what's his name? Why am I blanking on his name? Tim? Tim Allen. Bring fucking Tim Allen to this. And the guy from violent night, David Harbour, bring him all in. Get all the Santa's. Multiverse of Santa's. I'm down for that.
00:13:44
Speaker
That's the multiverse we need. Oh absolutely. Get the little like so claymation ones from like the 60s. Yeah and get the and get the fucking doll they made in the Santa Claus 2. Get that fucking plastic guy too. Oh fuck that guy. That guy pissed me off. Yeah I know but he was a good villain. He was yeah. Yo so is Santa Claus 2 better than Santa Claus 1? I think so. Low key right? You're talking about sequels better than the prequels? Or I'm sorry sequels better than the the first one? Definitely.
Wrestlers Turned Actors
00:14:10
Speaker
Yeah. Also, my boss was telling me, I haven't seen this, but I know you have. Do you think Back to the Future 2 is better than Back to Future 1? No. OK. He was telling me yes. I haven't seen it, though. So there's that. and Anyways, back to this Red 1 thing and my hatred for The Rock. So they're about to go fight Krampus, right? And the movie co-stars The Rock with Chris Evans, who is like, he's good in it. He's he's Chris Evans.
00:14:36
Speaker
Right. ah And The Rock says some kind of line to the, you know, I'm paraphrasing. He's like, you know, don't touch anything. This is only for. elves like it's not for mortals it's not for like people who are just like guys humans and then Chris Evans says something that like he's like basically he's like oh I thought like you were human something like that right the rocks line that really pissed me off more than anything is his response to that because this is just just the rock being the rock he goes do I look human to you and he he's just a rock he's just he's just the like he's just the rock in this movie he's just built
00:15:15
Speaker
You know, it's weird when you cast the rock and things because he is so fucking big. Yeah. Well, he said he sent a security detail in this movie. OK, that makes sense. That's what he's doing. He goes. Do I look human? Like how full of yourself are you? I hate that.
00:15:33
Speaker
And it's not like an in-sell thing. It's just like, it's just just such a stupid fucking line to say in a movie. like Like you're already worth fucking millions of dollars. You look the way you look in your ball and you're And you're bald. I don't know. Yeah. that's That's really what it is. And also, I really do not like his performance in any of the Fast and the Furious movies. His line delivery is not good. Is it weird to say that Rock's best acting is when he's a wrestler? No.
00:16:00
Speaker
Like, you yes that's the only acting he's good at. Right. Which is weird. When he's talking shit, call him people honking, not honkies.
00:16:09
Speaker
Honkies. No, that's not the right racist. That's not the right word. ah No, but. ah Yeah, I think that is his best acting, so I'm just not a fan. They need to make him a villain in the movies. That's what they need to do. Of all the wrestlers that are actors,
00:16:30
Speaker
John Cena and Dave Batista are probably the top two. Yeah, I think Dave Batista though is I would give him the upper hand because he does serious roles.
00:16:42
Speaker
More serious roles like they're both comedic. I would say like, you know him as Drax and Cena in The Suicide Squad was pretty funny. Yeah, I also like uh blockers Blockers is yeah, we love together. Didn't we? Yeah, we did. I mean funny I have not I have not watched it since but I've thought about it I watch it like a once a two years ago. It's still funny. I'm sure it's just funny seeing John Cena like Not BPG. That's what we grew up with. It is funny. Yeah, it is.
Praising Moana 2's Animation
00:17:12
Speaker
Sprite. So Moana won. The villain was cool looking. Honestly, the whole movie, I text you this just reminded me of Thor Ragnarok. That's fair. Yeah. It's just Maui being like, I need my hammer, but it's a fish hook. Yeah, it's a hook. The villain in Moana one is way better.
00:17:39
Speaker
Looks cooler. See, but you didn't see the post-credit scene, right? Yeah. You so find what you see the villain. I'm a wanted to. You see the villain, and he's just some, like, islander dude. Oh, really? Yeah, he's just like, like, yeah, he's a god, but, like, he's just a dude. Like, he's literally sitting on, like, a fucking stone throne. He's just a dude. And he's like, I'll do it myself? Literally, yeah. Yeah, all right.
00:18:09
Speaker
um Yeah, I don't know I feel like I hear you on that and the villain does look way cooler Moana But the same kind of like corny cheesy ah i know Antics and like comedy they do throughout both those movies is just not for me I don't I don't vibe with it some of it. I thought some things in Moana two are funny and I'll say that. And obviously that the animation is amazing. And right in both of them because it's Pixar. The. mut
00:18:45
Speaker
the fuck Yeah, I'm sorry. It's not Pixar, but Disney animation. Right. Disney animation's top tier. Fuck, dude. um But the thing with. OK, so I'm just going to go. Moana one had more plot.
00:19:04
Speaker
I feel. It had more meaning behind it. Is it because Moana two's kind of a rehash Moana one? Yeah, I mean, yes. fair Right. Right. They're like, Oh, we're on a, we're on the raft. Oh, coconut dudes. Oh, this, that Maui saved the day.
00:19:28
Speaker
I don't know. I think that also this movie is more of a musical than Joker 2. Another movie that's more of a musical than Joker 2. They both are. That's true, but most Disney movies are musicals. I don't know if I like them. I don't know if I like them. I guess I'd give the music, the edge to the first one over the second one. They're both good, though. Yeah, they're both not bad. Yeah. I think at the end of the day, it just comes down to the movies themselves don't do anything for me, but
00:19:58
Speaker
We'll save it. Let's, let's, let's read the cast before we do anything else.
Moana 2 Cast and Plot Critique
00:20:04
Speaker
Now I have American made up. Uh, so Moana too. Wow. I really don't know these people's names. I'm so sorry. Uh, Ollie, maybe Cravallo voices may, ah I'm sure voices Moana, uh, Dwayne, the cock Johnson voices Maui.
00:20:27
Speaker
Uh, who Lele Chung versus Moni Rose, Matta Feo, voices Lotto. Who's Lotto the, like the technician girl? I believe so. David Fain voices Kelly and then we're going to hit all these with a ski up. There's a voice credit for Alan Tuttick who voices Heihei, which is the chicken. Larguably the best part.
00:20:56
Speaker
oh I love hey, hey, yeah, he's great ah Also to be the first one when he just like wants to go off the boat and die is just like yeah, dude I feel you I feel you i get it just want to fucking die. Yeah Yeah,
00:21:14
Speaker
yeah so in this one they're trying to build on a The first one, and it's like Moana is a a Pathfinder, which I guess is a big deal. She's like a water bender, essentially from Avatar. Yeah, but I almost it's almost like the water is like her. Friend, which she says that I'm sorry, but right.
00:21:39
Speaker
um I feel like there's more animals in this movie that are characters than actual characters.
00:21:47
Speaker
You think so? Yeah. And the people they introduce like, uh, the big, that that buff dude, I guess his name is Kelly, uh, who is like fangirling over Maui is like, he's fine. Yeah. He's not very funny. No, I mean, they try with him and the kids in my fear thought was funny.
00:22:12
Speaker
ah And then the the technician girl that was like trying to fix the boat and all that kind of stuff. I liked her character. She was fine. But I feel like there's a lot of cringe dialogue. A lot of cringe dialogue. It's for kids though. But also that's why we're doing this top 10 Pixar list because there's movies that are made for kids that still hit when you're an adult. A thousand percent. And that is like the... I don't know. That's like how you tell if it's a good movie or not.
00:22:40
Speaker
I think this movie's PG and I'm not too sure why. The cringe dialogue they really got me was like, like Maui calls Moana, like princess. And she's like, I'm not a princess. And then they like break the fourth wall. And Maui's like, well, that's not what everybody thinks. Because like everybody. I actually thought that was funny. I like audio. I did laugh at that. Because like everybody classifies Moana as like a Disney princess when That's what that's what happened in my theater was he said like he's like everyone thinks you are and then my fear laughed and I was like Let me try to process that joke cuz I wasn't paying attention. I was like, oh that is kind of funny It is funny, but they all do think she's a Disney princess what she's not she's not no um I did like towards the end of the movie that there like was a sense of consequence as far as
00:23:36
Speaker
uh when they first try to go after this demon god when they go after nala essentially yeah he's a god and uh essentially their first their first bout with this god doesn't go well for them and they uh what is that guy's name i already lotto or kelly kelly like almost dies and it's like pretty doom and gloom because they think uh you watch maui lose all his tattoo and like get like zapped by Lightning, whatever it is, purple. Purple also calls powers for a little bit. Yeah. ah And then that that kind of worked for me. But then the.
00:24:22
Speaker
The final, like the ending of it, like where like she goes and like swims under the water and like touches the rock and like you think she's dead. And it's like, obviously they're not gonna kill off Moana in a Disney movie. I was really hoping they would. That would have been some balls. That's, dude, if they kill off Moana, five stars. That's what I was gonna say. Wish, can we just be honest? Moana is a... Wow. What a pull right there.
00:24:53
Speaker
She is of age in this movie. So they go out of their way to say that. And also for all of you who have issues with me saying that she's a made up animated character. OK, get your mind out of the gutter. people Get your mind out of the gutter. All I'm saying is you could go on certain websites and find your favorite animated characters doing terrible things to each other. Just type in rule 34 and then whatever it is and you got it. What's rule 34?
00:25:20
Speaker
It's like the rule of the internet that if anything that you can think of has porn associated with it. Oh, that's exactly what I was trying to say. Yes. Yep. Yeah. yeah yeah that Yep. So we're not wrong for saying that. Well, actually, yeah, you didn't say it. I'm saying it. You know, it's all right. I agree with you though. All right. All right. But if we don't know, say what you're going to say. I was going to say, I'm very proud of the poll. Okay. Yeah. Shout out M and M.
00:25:49
Speaker
ah I was trying not just the volume. Sorry um Yeah, we didn't really say it but the whole plot of the movie is like Moana wants to find more people out in the world And that's kind of the weakest part
Sequel Overload in Film Industry
00:26:03
Speaker
the plot. Yeah, like we gotta like this are like Islanders like Like they're not are they Hawaiian are they just Pacific Islanders? I don't know. I don't really want to I don't want to I don't want to judge I Right, therere they're out there in the islands living their lives, I guess. They're like Tuatunga Vailoa, you know? His people. Is there an N in there? Tunga Vailoa? There's not one in the spelling, but it's pronounced like that. Oh, look at you and being well-read. Hey, how you doing? um
00:26:36
Speaker
Yeah, like you said, that is the plot. I don't know. It's just... I just... All right, this is my thing. I feel like we're so cooked as a society that we're just taking stuff that did make money at some point and remake, not remaking it, but making a sequel, making like, why are we making more? You said there's an after credits and I walked out as soon as the credits started rolling. But why are we making them all on a three? I want to tell you, I was going to talk about this later, but I'll just say it now. The trailers that played during this before the movie started. Live action, how to train your dragon. Why?
00:27:11
Speaker
Why the movies like came out in like what, 2010? Why do we need a remake of it? And there's three of them? Yeah. Um, live action Snow White, which you sounded excited for. I don't want to say you were, but why are we touching that? Leave it alone.
00:27:28
Speaker
Yeah, I mean there's a reason it hasn't been touched up until now like they did cast Gal Gadot who is a i'm Sorry, I don't make the rules. She just did as the Evil Queen, which I'm very excited to see Gal Gadot old as fuck
00:27:44
Speaker
Dude, she's not even like she doesn't look that old. She looks like it's there's there's a witch and there's like the queen. They show. Yeah, I don't know that like she looks. Oh, the witch version doesn't look like hot. Oh, sorry. Yeah.
00:27:58
Speaker
um There was something else that I was going to mention. I should have wrote it down yesterday. but I didn't write it down live action. We won't stitch. You see that trailer? No, but I've seen pictures. Thank God. I haven't seen that fucking thing yet. The trailer is just like a teaser. ah Mufasa, the live action Mufasa. Why are we doing that? Why do we need a prequel to the Lion King? Who fucking cares? No one. So.
00:28:23
Speaker
um that's all that's that's all that's coming out in the forefront and there was the only one original IP was Pixar and it was that movie Elio it's like a he's like waiting to get like abducted by aliens right he like wants to get probed in the ass or something yeah which I'm gonna see it because it's Pixar but it didn't look interesting to me but at least it's original Right. Yeah. It's like content it's not like we're trying to do something else. Like I'll always give credit, like even on on my 2024 rankings of movies, I always give credit. Like if I have two things out of three star, the one that's like original content always gets the upper hand for me unless it's like really bad. Yeah. ah Because it's at least original. Like you're trying to branch out and do something different. And we're just like going to cook Moana's fucking story to like nothing. Yeah.
00:29:14
Speaker
Like but this didn't need to be made. No, no board like if they wanted to make a sequel like This is more interesting make it more interesting. Yeah, this is just like the Like say Moana 3 like fucking cooks right sure like I'm not gonna watch Moana 2 Again, like I'll just watch Moana one and Moana three. But I don't think you even have to because it's not that complex of a movie. No. And like the main quote unquote, like side villain. Yeah. Like the bat chick, whoever that was. How did what happened with that? Because they were I went to the bathroom because the movie was like kind of not great. What they're on that boat raft thing and she's singing her song and then how do they get separated?
00:30:02
Speaker
they go through like, uh, uh, Moana like touches like this thing and like only she's like able to open it or whatever. It's like a portal out. Okay. So they jumped through it and Moana's like, Oh, why, why can't you come with me? And she's like, Oh, because if whatever the villain's name is finds out, no yeah, if he finds out that I helped you, like he'll kill me. Oh yeah. But then he finds out anyway, in the post credit,
00:30:30
Speaker
Mmm, and he's like but we don't know what that we don't know what their beef is but why they're beefing with each other, right? No, or why she has bats underwater Sorry, they're gonna blame. I forgot they're in a giant. Yeah, they're in a clam. All right. Yeah, I'd see that I'm kind of curious on what that bat ladies clam looks like though. Let me see that clam let me see your clam what's your and clam dude I just we're just curious unless it has teeth then I want to you know, I Like a dune sandworm. Yeah. Or that movie teeth. You ever see that one? No, I've heard a about it. I haven't seen it. Literal teeth in her vagina. Is that what it's about? Yeah. And then like guys try to sleep with her and it's just like nom, nom, nom, nom. Yeah. Blights their dicks off. Yeah. It's a comedy. It's like a horror comedy. I have to watch this. What? 2007, I think. 2007 podcast. We are a 2007 podcast. Teeth.
00:31:42
Speaker
Oh, man, I want to watch this movie for sure. What's its ah average on letterbox? 2.8. Two people I follow gave it a one and a half. o Oh, this girl gave it a half star. Hey, I never said it was good. I said it existed.
00:31:58
Speaker
I want to watch it. I'm now curious. It's 94 minutes of my life. I'm going to waste watching this fucking movie. Um, yeah, so I'm, I'm hitting Moana two to three star. I don't know if there's more to say with this movie. The animation looks great. The songs are fine. I used to think the storylines pretty weak sauce. Yeah, I've given it a two and a half.
00:32:23
Speaker
Oh, wow. All right. Yeah, it just didn't, you know, I don't find myself watching like in the theater, watching movies kind of like like this, like, you know, hand on my way. I was just waiting for it to end, essentially.
00:32:37
Speaker
I did push off watching this movie most of the week. I was like, I don't want to go see this. I have no interest in seeing it. And then i everyone saw it. And I guess my expectations were so low that ah some of it kind of surprised me. I will say the funniest part of the movie to me was when the tattoo gives Dwayne The Rock Johnson a purple nurple. That was funny. yeah was like That's what you fucking get. Yeah.
00:33:03
Speaker
There's not really much more to say. And as far as like animated movies have come out this year, like it's not better than Inside Out 2. No. It's not better than like... This is the wrong list.
00:33:24
Speaker
It's better than Joker too. Definitely better than Joker too. That doesn't take much. Wow, not a crazy year for animation, huh? Am I missing a big one?
00:33:37
Speaker
Did you see The Wild Robot? No, I haven't seen that. People say the movie's amazing. I haven't seen it though. I'll have to watch it. DreamWorks, I think. Yeah, this is just going to go in the category of mid. This movie is just mid. I think I gave it, I don't know why I gave it a three, but it's just, I'm sorry that it's on the same page for me as Moana 1, which has also got hit with a three. It's just, it's, it's fine. It's okay. You know what I think? It doesn't do much. I'm a big like, uh,
00:34:07
Speaker
ocean lover. So I think yeah, I think anything with water really gets me going, you know, like Luca. I love Luca. I get you going going like that or no. Sometimes I see a squid and I'm really fucking excited. You know, that's the problem with Moana. I was just like, there's too many kids here, too many kids. I can't pull out my cock and start whacking it. ah She's a fake character. Relax. um But I guess to finish it off, ah there was this letterbox. You could finish me off. Sorry.
00:34:36
Speaker
Give me the halalu wawi, you know what I'm saying? Um, I saw a letterbox review and it basically said, uh, we're in Disney's era of making direct to DVD sequels in theatrical releases. That's pretty accurate. It's pretty accurate. Cause remember when Disney was just making anything a fucking sequel, like Lion King one and a half, one to three quarters, like shit like that.
00:35:00
Speaker
Yeah, they gotta stop. They gotta slow it down. Why's Pocahontas have a sequel? Like, what are we doing? I don't know why he doesn't need it. No. So. Fucking Toy Story 5. Why? But there hasn't been a bad Toy Story movie. Incredibles 3, it says TBD.
00:35:23
Speaker
It hasn't been a bad one, but there was just no need for the fourth one. I agree. It's solid. It's just, there's just no need for it. like You had three was the perfect ending, which is honestly a pretty good transition into our, uh, our top 10 top 10 Pixar
Choosing Pixar Over Disney Classics
00:35:38
Speaker
movies. We could have done top 10 Disney movies, but.
00:35:42
Speaker
Pixar's better. They are overall. I mean, the thing, too, though, is with and animated Disney movies, like you got to include like the classic princess movies. A lot of shit that I haven't seen in a long time. and So I didn't. It would be disingenuous for me to just make a ranking now. Oh, yeah. So like I was talking to my fiance. I was like, man, if I watch Beauty and the Beast again, that might be the top five. That movie's sure. Sure. I mean, the musical pieces are fucking.
00:36:11
Speaker
phenomenal. Yeah. All room scene. Stop it. Stop it. ah We should preface let's preface ah with the movies we have not seen or did not add because it's been too long. I'll go first. Okay.
00:36:25
Speaker
This was never in a thousand years make my top 10. But elemental I have not seen. That movie's ass bro. Fucking shit. Absolutely no way. It was ah fucking shit. I have the 4K steelbook. Steelbook looks pretty. But the movie's fucking dog shit. This one's also in the same vein. Lightyear have not seen. That's Pixar?
00:36:47
Speaker
ah yeah Yeah, it was like your dude. Yeah, that would make sense. Yeah, I haven't seen probably shit this one I've actually heard good things and I but I haven't seen it turning red. I've heard it's actually decent. Oh, it's okay. Onward haven't seen. I don't think I'm missing anything. They're always shit ah if The good dinosaur haven't seen no ah brave haven't seen but redheads unite ah
00:37:17
Speaker
I think that's it. It's weird that I've seen everything else. some And I haven't, oh, I have not seen Inside Out 1 since it came out, so it's not on my list, but I'm pretty sure if I watched it, it would be. Yeah. Um, and with me, I haven't seen soul, which I know is a big one that I need to watch for the podcast. I do for the podcast. Yeah. Fuck it. Um, and then I left it to me personally, one per franchise. So I only have one toy story movie here. I know that's like the big one. That's probably multiple in your list, but I have only one of them.
00:37:52
Speaker
Well, it's one out of the trilogy that's missing. That's not in my top 10. Oh, it's probably four. There's a trilogy is only three, but there's there's two there's two there's two missing. But like who's going to put like, you know, like cars three, like fuck out of here. Like cars one, maybe, maybe spoiler. um All right. So do you want to, do you want to go back and forth? Like I'll do 10, you do your 10th. I think that's what we should do.
00:38:20
Speaker
You wanna- Mine's hot. myed out You're not gonna like mine. and um My number 10 is hot. Yeah. Okay for this? Sure. now Give You know that I wrote this list just before we started, so but of things are subject to change. Well, I feel like this is my current standing. Yeah, I can watch something else and it could change. As of December 2nd, 2024, right? Year of our Lord. yeah Sure. That's not real. um Dude, have you ever had you ever been at work or in public listening to a ghost song and you go to like sing along with the words and they're like, Hail Satan. You're like, I probably shouldn't say that.
00:38:58
Speaker
All the time. Yeah. I caught myself yesterday. Probably bad. Yeah. Um, cause I don't believe in him either. So, all right. Well, my number 10, we're starting hot. Now, again, a lot of, a lot of these movies, all these movies are a four and a half or a five stars. Not like any of these are bad, badly rated. So you're you're like, you're, you're picking hairs. You know what I mean? It's not like, right. It's hard. So what it comes down to is what I've watched more in my life at this point.
00:39:28
Speaker
That's essentially what I... Yeah. So, number 10, Finding Nemo. Oh! I told you. I told you weren't gonna like it. Finding Nemo at only a 10, dude? I've watched that movie probably three times in my life. That's it? and And I don't think about it that much. But again, again, it's like a four and a half movie. It's a four and a half star. It's a good... I'm not saying it's a bad movie. It's just number... The rest of these movies, bro? Banger! Banger! Banger! Like, it's just non-stop bangers.
00:39:58
Speaker
all right I told you it was hot. I told you it was hot. That's pretty high on my list. um My number 10, you ready for this? hit Definitely not in your top 10. Bugs life.
00:40:14
Speaker
Bugs Life's in my top 10. Oh, is it really? Okay. Yeah, it's higher than that, actually. Okay, yeah. Number 10, Bugs Life. I like Bugs Life. It's a good movie. It is. Flick is underrated. Flick it, and then they made that movie Bugs, DreamWorks did, because they were copycats. Are they ants? Wasn't it ants? There's a movie called Bugs, too, isn't there? Really? I think a movie called Bugs. Oh. Ants. Ants. There also is ants. Yeah. That was okay. There's also, I think there's a movie called Bugs. Yeah, ants. They made ants. so But there is, what we call bugs, I'm not crazy. okay um My number nine.
00:40:54
Speaker
ah can't Nine sounds disrespectful, but it can't be higher. I can't put it over anything else on this list. Cars one. Out of nine. Bro, what are you gonna put in front of this movie? I mean, I mean i don't...
00:41:10
Speaker
We'll get to the rest of my list, but we can't put there are certain movies you can't put above cars like my top.
00:41:19
Speaker
My top five. Yeah, there's the no shot. It's better than cars are no shot. Cars is better. I mean, I could see possibly bumping it like two spots, maybe, but probably not. All right, then this is going to be hot for them. My number nine, then number nine, we got Coco.
00:41:40
Speaker
That's not that hot. No. coco was co And Coco, was ah I gave a five out of five too. Coco was a banger movie. That's a sad movie. Coco fucks you up. Coco will fuck you up. If I think Coco's sad, I'm not ready for soul, huh?
00:41:53
Speaker
Sol hits on a different level, yeah. Sorry, it does. It hits. I mean, Coco really hits, but I mean, Sol hits. um and I should also say, I forgot it says, Wally have not watched in a very long time, not on my list. yeah it's Only because I haven't seen it. Not because it it wouldn't be, it's just I haven't seen it too long. yeah Also, low key, I'm scared too, because I feel like it kind of predicted our future. A little bit. We're kind of on that wave right now.
00:42:20
Speaker
All right. So my number eight, as you mentioned before, I have Bugs Life. All right. because but I have Bugs Life over cars. And what everything after this is is over cars. That's correct. I would say I would I'll be fair. I think I've watched cars more times in my life than I've watched Bugs Life. Yeah, I think I've only watched Bugs Life maybe like four times.
00:42:42
Speaker
ah But car but cars part of it's a nostalgia for like the video game and yo, that game is fucking fucking me. Oh, man. It was so good. ah So that's my number eight. All right. Number eight. We have Zuko. I was debating put Luca in there. Oh, really? You liked it that much? I mean, it was going to be 10. It was going to be fringe 10. Sure.
00:43:10
Speaker
I gave Luca a four. So like it's hard if you're not in that four and a half five star range is hard to get my top ten unless there's nostalgia because I'm pretty sure after I said that I realized cars I rated a three and a half. Oh, whoa. Whoa. By the way, watch Cars as an adult and tell me more than a three and a half. It's not. No, no, sorry. It's not. That's one of those things that definitely didn't need a sequel and or a third. No, no, please stop. You have the steel book, though. I'm jealous.
00:43:40
Speaker
of cars one. Yeah. Are you looking for it? Does your mind find or if I find it, do you want me to text you? Yes. Okay. I see it a lot. Okay. Yeah. I'll let you know. Yeah. No problem. Yeah. I think, uh, I think it was just with me. Like I said, I like fish, big fish guy. You also like gay mermaids, I guess.
00:44:04
Speaker
holes, holes, so, holes, and holes. ah Luca, for the listener, we record an episode on which was off the fucking rails. We will drop that at some point. um Also, the visuals on that movie are really crisp. Everything I agree. I agree. But ah when it comes to Pixar, it's all going to look fucking nice. Sure. It is nice to like be in like the 2020s where it's in the 20s or it's like better. Oh, yeah. Peak animation. like Yeah.
00:44:33
Speaker
Um, where are we at? Number seven? Yes, sir. My number seven is Coco. Uh, it's not, it's not often that I watch a movie one time and go, yup. Five stars. Uh, Coco was, was one of them, uh, Coco.
00:44:50
Speaker
It doesn't stick with me. like the It's obviously sad. It doesn't stick with me as much as the rest of the movies on this list. So it's hard to put it above some of the the rest of the film. But I could see like you know down the line, if I end up watching it more times, it could pass a couple. But it's dude, the top five are hard.
00:45:12
Speaker
Like yeah to to to get to crack the top five is really hard because pigs are so iconic and like our childhoods are a lot of these movies. So it's really hard to beat those. Yeah, that's definitely what my, well, all but one. Yeah. Well, all but wait till you hear my number one. All right. So anyways,
00:45:32
Speaker
so at number seven, I have inside out one. I respect it. Now, here is that movie, I think, came out in like 2016 or something. um Wait, is Cars on your list? Yes. OK, sorry, go ahead.
00:45:49
Speaker
Inside out, like it took a a great premise and like executed it perfectly, I feel.
Inside Out's Take on Emotions
00:45:59
Speaker
I agree with you. I think the the the besides like the the impeccable animation. The biggest thing with Pixar is their messaging. um Most of their movies is like really good. Flawless. Like Luca. Luca's great. Luca's great, yeah. Yeah. um Inside Out 2 kind of, you know, shaded. I gave it a three and a half. It's yeah it's not it's not a bad movie, but... It's fine. What I wrote in my review is like it's really hard to...
00:46:27
Speaker
ah Touch on all the nuances of like puberty anxiety and like those kind of things in a 90-minute movie For kids for sure. Yeah, you can't hard to do that Yeah, you can't really go over the top with how bad it can get in a kids movie Right, but they did they did the best that they could and it worked. I agree My number six
00:46:53
Speaker
I don't know if this is hot. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be hot. I got Toy Story 3. It's not hot. I think ah it is the perfect ending to any franchise, I'll say ever. Oh yeah. like No, I mean live action or not. any Any franchise, I think it's the best ending to a franchise. Except they were like, fuck you, we're gonna make Toy Story 4. Fuck that movie. Yeah. I fucking hate that movie.
00:47:22
Speaker
I don't hate it. Actually, it's a lie. I don't know why I said that. I gave like three and a half. It gave us Forky at the end of the day. Forky. Yeah. Forky. It's a great movie. I don't really cry at movies, but I did feel some type of way at the end of ah Toy Story 3. I was like, damn. ah Fun fact, I saw that movie at a baseball stadium. That was my first time watching it. I'm pretty sure I saw for the first time at a drive in theater. Crazy. Should we shout out that place or is it too close?
00:47:52
Speaker
It's a little close. like but They couldn't figure out where we lived. Oh yeah, fuck it. Shout out Overlook Driving. Shout out you. That shit don't exist anymore. Sad, right? Very sad. The one at Hyde Park I think closed too. I think so. Shout out to Matt if you're listening. That's who I saw Toy Story 3 with. Hey! Shout out you Matt.
00:48:15
Speaker
um Yeah, it's the it's the perfect ending. It's a great movie. i The villain, what is the teddy bear's name? Do you remember his name? The pink dude? No. Yeah. i for He's like a great villain. Yeah. um Yeah, love it.
Nostalgia for Toy Story 2
00:48:31
Speaker
So my number six is Toy Story 2. Yeah, I'm just, I don't love Toy Story 2. You don't? No. I mean, I gave it a four. I just don't love it. It takes...
00:48:46
Speaker
what made Toy Story 1 great and like expands on it a little bit. Yeah, it's. The one I've watched the most, so I think that's probably why I put it here.
00:49:00
Speaker
The best scene in that movie is when Woody gets the makeup done on him, like the paint and all that. Oh, yeah, that's classic. That shit just scratches the itch. It just scratches whatever itch. I mean, and it introduced Jesse. I mean, you could be up in the air if you like Jesse or not, but it gives Woody a nice little Woody. What is it? There's a snake in my boot. Yeah.
00:49:27
Speaker
All right, we're we're cracking into the top five. Here we go. This is hard. It's very hard for me to ah rank these. My top three, I don't think really, but four and five are kind of hard. Top three I'm not touching, probably ever. Well, um number five.
Monsters Inc. in Nick's Top Pixar Films
00:49:52
Speaker
Again, it comes down to what I've watched more. And this is a five-star movie, okay? So there's no disrespect. Monsters, Inc. Hurts a little, but... It is what it is, dude. It is what it is, yeah. If I did one from each franchise, it'd probably be four. But you have to remember that Toy Story has multiple bangers. That's fair. um Which kind of gave away my number four. But number five from me is Monsters, Inc. What else can you say about Monsters, Inc.? It's an amazing movie.
00:50:24
Speaker
It's just not it's five fucking stars. Yeah, of course. It's an amazing. It's a fucking great movie. Monsters University. What the fuck are we doing? We don't need a prequel. Nope. That movie was just so bad. I think we saw that the drive through to. Hey, so that's my number five. My number five is cars.
00:50:49
Speaker
Cars at 5 is kind of crazy. You think so? You think Cars is a 5 out of 5 movie? I love Cars, man. But do you think... This is my thing with Cars, right? Do you think the messaging on Cars... like It's a great movie. It's fun, whatever. But the messaging that like Pixar's kind of known for really isn't there with that movie? No, it's just a fun... Yeah, that's why I have it lower because it's just it's just not like Whoops. Wow. Hello construction going on over here. You taking out? That was my dick. What?
00:51:23
Speaker
What am I taking out? What'd you say? No. Okay. um Yeah, I don't know. I just is your rating obviously is your ranking, obviously. But for me, the the cars, the Mac elements don't hit as hard as some of the other movies we both mentioned. I think um like Inside Out. I don't know. Sure. I grew up watching a lot of um NASCAR. I don't watch it anymore. It's gay. But.
00:51:50
Speaker
ah ah But back in the day, like, you know, I don't know. Larry, the cable guy, Mater, he's funny. Those bitches that flash their tits at headlights. Headlights that light you have a queen. They're good. um I don't know. There's something about it. It's a great movie. I mean, I grew up with it, too. I just I don't think that the messaging is there compared to some the other movies. That's fair. My number four, I alluded to it earlier, is is in fact Toy Story. I rewatched these movies last year. Yeah, last year. ah Toy Story one just hits
00:52:28
Speaker
a certain kind of way for me. I don't know. I love that movie. Still afraid of Sid, who isn't. Oh my God. I worked with that guy. i Looked like Sid. o Yeah. um But it is. o It's hard to speak on these movies because they're just classics, you know? Right. My life's growing. That hasn't been said. My life growing up was watching the Toy Story trilogy was like was was such a huge part of my childhood and like the Buzz Lightyear action figure and Woody's action. All of it was just like the marketing, the fucking. The actual toys themselves, the movies, the characters, they're just they're iconic. It's hard. It's hard to be.
00:53:10
Speaker
The ball is iconic. yeah The ball is really the army guys, little green army guys are great. They're funny. like i mean I mean, I'm curious how popular those green army guys were before Toy Story. I'm sure they were because like before that they were like probably for like, yeah, like the 60s kids, but like they brought it to like our generation.
00:53:26
Speaker
Yeah, I mean that's probably the only reason why I had those little green dudes was because of that movie even though i talking The monkeys that like lock interlock arms out of the arrow monkeys in a barrel. Yeah yeah monkeys in a barrel. there That's fire dude I think the movie we came up for we were born though. But hey, here's one one. I think one's 90. I have right 95 Could be wrong
00:53:52
Speaker
You're right, 95, actually November 22nd, 95, we're almost on the exact anniversary of it. um Wow, so it's next year's gonna be 30 years since since Toy Story came out. That's wild. Yeah, so that's my number four, is Toy Story one. All right, so my number four is Ratatouille.
00:54:16
Speaker
so Dude, Ratatouille's a fucking banger. Ratatouille is a banger. Now, I am a little newer to Ratatouille, though. I think I only saw it about four years ago for my first time. That is pretty late. As late. Late in the game, I'm a late bloomer to rats, right?
00:54:35
Speaker
ah but But... God, dude. What the fuck? Well, dude, my number three is also Ratatouille. So I'll just elaborate on what you're saying. Yeah. If you didn't figure it out yet through this podcast, I work in a kitchen. If you didn't figure out in this episode, I have red hair. ah So I've been called linguine for most of my life at work. I had a name tag on my job that said linguine. Ratatouille is just like the ultimate fucking.
00:55:05
Speaker
I don't know it's just like it kind of romanticizes the kitchen in a way that like when you're an up and coming cook you also kind of see in that light a little bit ah but it also encapsulates like
00:55:20
Speaker
I forgot the guy's name, the dude that runs the restaurant, like the the head chef that's their doctor. Yeah. Dickhead like the way that he wants to like sabotage linguine and like his life to some extent goes on in kitchens today, which obviously like in a kid's movie you're not going to touch on, but like and the whole anyone can cook thing like it's just.
00:55:41
Speaker
it's inspiring as a kid that want like when I grew up warned like be a ah chef like that was like a very inspiring movie for me and it just it means too much to me like personally for me to not have it and in my top three so that's also my that's my third I also I fucking love that movie so much it's always it's a five out of five and ah no questions so shout out to mark in the fuck you mark but shout out to him the other day text me and said he wants to use my ass hairs like Remy does to linguine that
00:56:13
Speaker
Mark, that was funny, but also fuck you, Mark. Fuck you, Mark. Uh, so here we go. The top three, right? Yeah. This is the big daddies. Yeah. Big daddies for number three. I have the Incredibles. I, okay. It's like a fucking great movie shop. Brad bird. Brad bird. Yeah. Um, uh, superheroes, right?
00:56:42
Speaker
are a big part of everybody's, a lot of people's childhoods, I don't want to say everybody. But Pixar really like nailed this shit, dude. Brad Bird also did Ratatouille. What a god. Just so you know. What a fucking god. And the Iron Giant. I mean, just cooking. Oh, man. Just on fire. Shout out Brad Bird. On some type shit, you know?
00:57:08
Speaker
um You got Dash, Violet, Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible with the fat ass. And don't... What? I just wasn't expecting that. Elastigirl. How you doing? How you doing? Don't forget Jack Jack. Little fucking freak.
00:57:31
Speaker
And the, uh, what is his name? Down syndrome so um from syndrome I think it is syndrome. Yeah. Buddy pine or syndrome. Yeah. Dude. You ever play the game?
00:57:46
Speaker
Really fucking hard. Yeah, it was for no reason for no reason. It was very hard. I'm not sure why I could not figure it out not but fun fact into my childhood me and my dad we would Consistently only play the level where your dash and you're late for school. You just run through like the streets there was some scene ah there was my only vague recollection of that game was in the beginning of the game you have a It's like when, uh, what's his name blow to the building. Bomb voyage, bomb voyage. And you have to run out the building and like jump at a certain time. Uh-huh. I couldn't figure it out. Just kept killing Mr. Incredible over and over again. And then my dad would like try to help me and he couldn't do it either. I don't think I'm ever going to pass that. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Um.
00:58:39
Speaker
Well, my number two was incredible. So there you go. Yeah, that's my ah that's my number two. I love that movie. This is a movie, again, that's made for kids that we we forgot to mention it kind of. But these movies, we're talking about a lot of them. I don't think cars falls into that category. But a lot of these movies you can watch adult and find so much enjoyment and but fulfillment of it, even if it's not.
00:59:02
Speaker
ah As a kid like Gerald said Ratatouille only watched it four years ago I watched Coco last year or maybe two years ago only as an adult I mean these movies are quote-unquote four kids, but They pack like an emotional fucking punch and they're very entertaining and they have great character development Yeah, that's a that's the thing the character development in these movies are outlandish like you don't see this in like blockbuster like Brad Pittman like Moana too, you don't see it. Oh yeah, you don't see it in there. It's just like, what are we doing? Yeah. ah Yeah, so Incredibles is my number two. It's very hard for anything to come even close. Like you watch Incredibles and it's just like like, I'm blown away every time I watch it. Still. The the score, the musical score in Incredibles is fucking phenomenal. Amazing. it so I mean, what what more can be said about Incredibles? It's just one of the most iconic movies
00:59:56
Speaker
ah Frozone? Do we forget Frozone? Stop it. Frozone's the goat, man. ah Incredibles 2, the impression have been made, but it's a fine, line but it's fine. It's just not, we didn't need it. No. Again, we didn't need it. No capes. No capes. Yeah, Edna Mode, dude, come on. i mean these great These are great characters. Yeah. ah So my number two is Finding Nemo. Yeah. You saw that coming?
01:00:28
Speaker
I mean, I thought it was going to be that number one. I'm not sure number one is yet. Okay. Oh, actually, I guess I do know. I don't know if you said that or not. I think I know what it is. Okay. But Finding Nemo back to my love. I feel like this movie really made me get my love for fish and like all the ocean and.
01:00:47
Speaker
shark Sharks and my fear of the dentist like Dude that scene when when Bruce like smiles I it terrified me as a kid that yeah that is not like That's scary ass shit. It is scary ass shit like ah It's probably why I didn't watch it so much as a kid cuz I was like I don't fucking I don't like this There's a lot of scare like the angler fish. That's scary shit, dude. Like yeah um When the dad like when Nemo gets taken the dad's like just yelling for him and he's like gone. It's heartbreaking. Oh, oh But so many iconic lines in this like he touched the butt Fish are friends not food You guys made me ink That's a classic one. That's a classic one. um I Don't know it's just
01:01:38
Speaker
It's great. I love it. It's very finding. Finding Dory's fine, too. But it's kind of a rehash of Finding Nemo. It's like the same thing, but with Dory. But it gave us Frank. Frank the Octopus. I don't remember Frank at all. That's how I remember when that movie is to me. And the special needs seal, you know, named Gerald. That hurt a little bit. Yeah. Well, it hurt a little bit. Thanks, Disney. It is what it is.
01:02:03
Speaker
um We're here at my number one.
Soul: The Top Pixar Film
01:02:07
Speaker
Do you know what it is? Toy Story 2? No. Oh. Oh, it's. Just say it. It's Soul.
01:02:20
Speaker
um Soul. I don't know. I don't know how else. If you haven't seen Soul, stop listening to this podcast and go watch Soul. ah Solo I think has the most profound thematic messaging of any Pixar film period. I'm actually of any disney Disney animated film period. I'll say that. I think it's relatable on every and on every level to every human being that exists. Like what a what this character goes through. I already forgot his name and I'm so sorry, but he has had a name and I will tell you what it is.
01:03:03
Speaker
Joe Gardner is his name. He's voiced by ah Jimmy Fox. But ah Joe's struggle as like an adult going through life is relatable to everybody. um And then just like by the end of it, you're just like, holy shit. Like, what did I just watch? Also, it has to do with ah he's like a jazz player and I'm partial to musical, not musical ah movies that feature like musicians. Yeah.
01:03:33
Speaker
um Again, this is one watch, five out of five, and I've been kind of scared to watch it again, because I mean, it really fucking hits. This this one blew, I mean, I was like, for three days, I was like thinking about it afterwards. I was like, I can't believe what I just fucking watched. This movie blows me away. And I really, if you watch it, we should do it for the podcast, because I feel like it's just such a profound movie. Yeah, we can. I'm probably like, I've seen a couple people online say it's their favorite all time, but i I think I am in the minority.
01:04:04
Speaker
ah But to me this this has like more to say than the rest of Pixar's filmography. um And I guess like watching it as an adult, it just hit on a different level than watch like if I watch this as a kid, I'm pretty sure this wouldn't be.
01:04:21
Speaker
as high or as the rest of them. It sounds like one of those movies where it's like a kid's not really going to truly understand the meaning of this. No, they're going to see the cute little things and be like, Oh, whatever. Yeah. um So sold my number one. All right. ah My number one, if you haven't guessed it. Is Monsters Inc. Yeah. ah Fair enough. Everything about this movie.
01:04:49
Speaker
I love down to, I remember specifically the VHS that I had. Shout out VHS. Whoa. Whoa. It was light blue, like the color of Sully. Come on. That's hot. Um, I was Sully this past Halloween. I was going to say that. yeah Me and my fiance were Mike and Sully. Um,
01:05:17
Speaker
I got Monsters Inc. shirts, I got Monsters Inc. Funko Pops, like... I don't know what it was about this movie, but Mr. Waternoose can go fuck himself. Who the fuck is that? The crab!
01:05:33
Speaker
The scene this think that sticks out to me is is when they when when they're eating sushi. that but For some reason, that always sticks out to me. I don't know why. Anybody want a snork on? Yeah. the um I thought what's his name was the was the villain. Randall. Randall's like a side piece. A side piece. Randall's great. Yeah. Fuck it when Randall goes in. Roz. Fucking Roz. You figure out the value of paperwork last night.
01:06:03
Speaker
but grain Like get sent into like the trailer mall we got another gator get the shovel I Don't know it's just stupid funny. It's just fun. It's a great movie It's like I'm like a found family kind of John Goodman dude John Goodman shout to John Goodman. I fucking love John Goodman fucking legend man My doctor in New York looks like John come and shut up bleep that ah yeah ah But yeah, that's where I stand. All right. Well, um we'll go over. the to I'll just read off the top 10 again, just so you guys have some kind of ah cohesion. Even looking this now, I'm going to make a switch. OK. My number 10 is cars. My number nine will be finding Nemo.
01:06:54
Speaker
Number eight's Bugs Life. Number seven is Coco. Number six, Toy Story three. Number five, Monsters Inc. Number four, Toy Story numero uno. Number three, Ratatouille. Number two, The Incredibles. And number one, Sol. Shout out to the 4K Steelbook I found. That's crazy. Yeah, that was crazy. I opened it and I got in the car. It was a 4K Steelbook. I was like, no fucking way. Let's go. Do you ever see Pixar 4Ks?
01:07:24
Speaker
Well, here's the thing. I don't look for them. That's true. So in my collection, I have a 4K Bugs Life because we bought that shit that one day. Yeah. ah And I think as far as a 4K is concerned for Pixar movie, that's all I have. I have a generic-ass copy of The Incredibles. Me too. Generic-ass copy of, did I buy the Finding Nemo Steelbook? Or I just have a, what do I have for that? I have a Finding Dory Steelbook that's a Blu-ray. It's not a 4K.
01:07:54
Speaker
Yeah, I have i have a 4K steelbook of Finding Nemo. Well, it being your number one, it makes sense. Number two, relax. um Yeah, I think that's it. I think Sol's my only 4K steelbook as far as Pixar.
01:08:11
Speaker
I'm going to put it in my list, but I want to upgrade Monsters Inc. to 4K. They don't have a steel. I'm pretty sure. But just ugly ones that Disney put out the 100 anniversary. Get the fuck out of it. we got get Silver and just ah fucking so garbage, dude. Like Disney had the opportunity to sell the fuck out of those because, you know, Disney collectors are fucking crazy. They could have gave um like local or just like well-known artists that like design steel books like the opportunity to design these covers and like make them look really cool and instead they gave us fucking silver bricks of shit trash trash trash yeah fuck you uh but here you go my top 10 10 we got bugs life nine we have coco
