Introduction and Personal Update
00:00:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen. This is episode 62 of your favorite show. My favorite show, obviously. Shut off, turn on. I'm so excited to be here.
00:00:52
Julian Contreras Jr
It's been a little while, but there are good reasons for why it's been a little while. However, I am alone today. Kendall was going to try to be here.
00:01:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Something came up at the very, very last second. I'm not even kidding. Like two minutes to go. He had to run and get something done for his family, which is totally fine.
00:01:14
Julian Contreras Jr
But I'm here for you. Episode 62, like I said.
Summer Activities and Family Moments
00:01:19
Julian Contreras Jr
First things first, what's been going on in my life and why has it been a little while that something has not been your radios?
00:01:31
Julian Contreras Jr
It is baseball, Little League baseball. Between all the practices and the games and being there to help and support everything, takes up a lot of time in the summer.
00:01:44
Julian Contreras Jr
and as he gets older, it takes up a little bit more time, but it's completely worth it. I love watching him grow in the sport. In fact, just last night, he hit his very first inside the park home run.
00:01:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Super proud watching him run all the bases and getting on his horse and riding all the way around, running as fast as he could. It was amazing for all you dads and moms out there that watch your kids play sports.
00:02:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Probably one of the most cool things I've ever seen and witnessed for his very first time. He was super excited, jumping around, giving everybody high fives. Absolutely love watching him grow in a sport like this.
Listener's Request: Show Recommendations
00:02:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Today's episode is going to be a little bit different because there was a special request from a listener, ah ticket holder, if you will, a special friend of mine.
00:02:41
Julian Contreras Jr
i don't want to put a name on it. We got... We've met so many guests. We got friend A, B, C, D. Let's just call this one friend J. All right. No names out there. Just friend J who has had knee surgery.
00:02:57
Julian Contreras Jr
ah told him I would do this episode for him because he's going to be down and out for a little while. He specifically wants to know some shows on Netflix and Prime that he should tune into.
00:03:08
Julian Contreras Jr
I told him I would get a list. It's taken me three or four days to get it to him. But here it is.
Movie Review: Mission Impossible
00:03:15
Julian Contreras Jr
But before that, I absolutely have to talk about Mission and Impossible.
00:03:21
Julian Contreras Jr
It's been two weeks now since it's come out theaters. I feel like all the spoilers are gone and you could be... If you haven't seen it, it was amazing.
00:03:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Three hours of almost pure nonstop action just going from one peril to another peril. And of course, Tom Cruise, he's actually...
00:03:44
Julian Contreras Jr
starting to show his age which is crazy because he's been the same looking actor always fit longer hair shorter hair what have you but in this one you can actually see it time is almost finally starting to catch up with mr. Cruz I mean granted he still looked great all the stunts he was still doing totally cool absolutely loved mission impossible
00:04:14
Julian Contreras Jr
Get your popcorn, get your Coke, Diet Coke, whatever you have. It's just going to be a really, really fun ride. And I'm not even going sugarcoat There is ah scene in the middle where he's in a submarine.
00:04:28
Julian Contreras Jr
That is almost 20 minutes of pure silence. Just him dealing with a submarine underwater. And it's just edge of the seat action the entire time. It was so much fun.
00:04:43
Julian Contreras Jr
And you get to the end and it's, it's of course mission of impossible eight, the final reckoning, but is it the final mission impossible? ah the door is still open there. Like they didn't shut it completely.
00:05:00
Julian Contreras Jr
There could still be something. I don't know if it'll be Tom in the field running around as Ethan Hunt, or maybe they put Ethan Hunt in a smaller role where he's in charge of a crew.
00:05:12
Julian Contreras Jr
I could see that happening, maybe passing the torch while he's still in the movie.
00:05:19
Julian Contreras Jr
But it's a good possibility that it is not over for Mission Impossible. Just saying that right now. And if you are gonna see it, you do not have to stay through the credits. There is no end credit scene.
00:05:32
Julian Contreras Jr
i sat there and watched it all the way through. Nothing there for you.
00:05:39
Julian Contreras Jr
Let's get on to the list.
Netflix Show Recommendations
00:05:43
Julian Contreras Jr
that I have prepared for myself. There's gonna be a ton of shows on both of these streaming networks. There's just infinite amount of stuff that you could watch, but he specifically said no sci-fi or romance.
00:05:57
Julian Contreras Jr
and I'm not sure why he had those parameters, but I am gonna start with some series that you can watch on Netflix.
00:06:07
Julian Contreras Jr
You have heard the episode before where we talked about tires. Absolutely hilarious, short season, short comedy. But season two is out now. So if you love season one, season two is almost as funny.
00:06:23
Julian Contreras Jr
They're dealing with different stuff, but it's still completely outrageous and outlandish. But still raunchy and super funny, if that's your sort of thing.
00:06:34
Julian Contreras Jr
Which I think is right up your alley.
00:06:40
Julian Contreras Jr
He did mention that he was finally halfway through Dexter. think he said he was on season four. Definitely keep going.
00:06:52
Julian Contreras Jr
i also am not sure why it took you so long to watch Dexter. It's an amazing show. Just stick with it till the very, very end.
00:07:01
Julian Contreras Jr
You can't go wrong. It's absolutely a 10 out of 10 series. That's amazing. I still have to watch all the... new seasons they have put out so i can't really judge those ones yet but we're sticking to normal dexter very first series and you're you're gonna love it another one that we've talked about is kind of on the sci-fi level i don't know if you're a fan of black mirror but definitely try to give that a shot maybe not the new season start with the earlier seasons i wouldn't binge those though
00:07:40
Julian Contreras Jr
That's my series for Netflix. Now I want to get into some movies that you can watch on Netflix if you have a little bit of time. And I'm i'm automatically going to break your rule of no sci-fi because Starship Troopers is on there.
00:07:55
Julian Contreras Jr
And that one is absolutely amazing. If you haven't seen that one back when you were a kid...
00:08:03
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just a lot of fun. There are sci-fi aspects of it, but it's mostly people fighting bugs and flying with mobile infantry and the scientists that are kind of psychic.
00:08:17
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just a super fun movie. I mean, it came out forever ago when I was a kid. It's rated R, but it's a great watch. The technology you're just going to have to kind of overlook a little bit.
00:08:30
Julian Contreras Jr
And obviously the CGI, i don't know, maybe squint your eyes during some of the stuff, but still super great.
00:08:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Another all-time classic that I'm bringing back from forever ago for you. Before it leaves, I know what you did last summer. It's a perfect time to get right all caught up on this series right before the new movie comes out.
00:08:56
Julian Contreras Jr
And the new movie trailer looks absolutely amazing. i hope it holds up and is good.
00:09:04
Julian Contreras Jr
But that's, of course, the classic. I know what you did last summer. And another one, it's actually a two-parter that you should watch. know if you've watched it or not, but Now You See Me, parts
Breaking the Rules: Movie Suggestions
00:09:19
Julian Contreras Jr
one and two.
00:09:21
Julian Contreras Jr
I believe there is a part three coming out soon, which is why they push these to Netflix. But if you like magic and illusions and stuff, little bit of action here and there, the acting is really good. And especially in the first movie, there's the card scene where they're throwing the card back and forth to each other.
00:09:41
Julian Contreras Jr
It's an awesome scene. Great, great movies to watch there. Hopefully these help you on your... recovery from netflix there are more i'm going to keep it kind of short because i am alone but we're going to jump right over to amazon prime and a series that i just started yesterday when i was doing research for you freaks and geeks is on there tons and tons of faces that you'll recognize from today's actors
00:10:15
Julian Contreras Jr
way way back when they were super young like i'm talking seth rogan james franco just a ton of people even actors that are playing small little parts that you'll recognize plus it's a movie or it's actually a series sorry that came out when we were a lot younger that i just happened to miss i didn't see it it looks like it's only one season So far through episode one, I'm hooked. I really want to see where it goes and how they're going to end this show.
00:10:51
Julian Contreras Jr
A brand new one out that looks like a mystery whodunit. I really want to watch this one with my wife because she loves all this kind of stuff. And it's based on a book from what I'm reading.
00:11:03
Julian Contreras Jr
It's called The Better Sister. It's getting really, really good reviews. It's a murder whodunit with sisters living double lives somehow. I will definitely come back to you with a rating on this show.
00:11:17
Julian Contreras Jr
But from the trailer, it looks super amazing. Hopefully it is. But yeah, if you want to catch up on that one with us, and we'll come back and we'll talk about it. And then, of course, one that I know you'll love on Amazon Prime. It's two full seasons.
00:11:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Reacher. Nothing but action. It's an amazing show. You're going to love it. So much story with it, but more action than you can even put your head around.
00:11:49
Julian Contreras Jr
And if you like Blue Mountain State, it's, of course, it stars the guy who played Thad in that. So you're going to love it.
Prime Series and Movies: Personal Picks
00:11:59
Julian Contreras Jr
That's all I have for the series on Prime.
00:12:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Now I'm gonna move over to the movies. And really the only one that stuck out to me was The Accountant 2. That is on Amazon Prime for you to watch. If you loved the first one,
00:12:16
Julian Contreras Jr
I know people have their opinions on Ben Affleck and what he can do and what he can't do and movies that he's in. But I really, really enjoyed The First Accountant. So i have high hopes for this one.
00:12:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Plus it's got the guy that was the newest Punisher. so And of course he's the actor from The Walking Dead who played Shane. That's the only movie that stuck out to me on Prime. There are thousands of movies on there.
00:12:44
Julian Contreras Jr
I will... get a list when we come back of more that I have found, but that's the only one that stuck out, like I said.
00:12:55
Julian Contreras Jr
So hopefully all of these will give you some time to get your mind off of your you're pain. Hopefully there's not much of it. Get healed up. I wholeheartedly am behind you. Obviously I know what it's like to go through some sort of Rehab, shoulder, knee situation, getting better and what that takes.
00:13:18
Julian Contreras Jr
Like you said, everything went fine. Hopefully that stays the case. I love you, buddy. Get better soon. And it's almost Father's Day, so I will try to be back for episode 63 with some sort of Father's Day topic.
00:13:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Hopefully Kendall will join me on that one because in the month of July... He will be completely out of town for the entire month. So I'm trying to arrange some guests to come on the show.
00:13:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Maybe some new voices, some older ones, some classic ones like my siblings. We always have a good time on there. Maybe Matias will come back. We'll talk about some wrestling. I don't know.
00:14:00
Julian Contreras Jr
We'll see. But until then, i really hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend. Get out, enjoy the weather, enjoy a movie if it gets too hot, enjoy the air conditioning.
00:14:14
Julian Contreras Jr
i love everybody. Entertainment is always a super, super fun thing to keep up on.
Conclusion and Future Plans
00:14:21
Julian Contreras Jr
It's because it gets your mind off things. Just like our show says, shut off, turn on, and just try to relax.
00:14:30
Julian Contreras Jr
Not everything has to be worked
00:14:35
Julian Contreras Jr
But until next time, come on, you apes. You want to live forever? and don't forget to turn on something good.
