Kendahl
Candle.
00:00:49
Kendahl
I know.
00:00:59
Kendahl
Yep. You know, it's funny. i had the wife. I had the, I was gonna say, I had the wife actually asked me today. She's like, when was the last time you guys recorded? I feel like it's been forever.
00:01:08
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah It's been like two, three weeks, but we're here right now.
00:01:10
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:12
Julian Contreras Jr
That's all that's important. We're here for some great content. We've seen some movies. We've watched K-pop Demon Hunter again.
00:01:21
Kendahl
again
00:01:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, we're going to allude to the topic of episode 70, which shouldn't be too far out.
00:01:27
Kendahl
Yep.
00:01:29
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, I think we got through the may major parts of September.
00:01:29
Kendahl
No, no, no.
00:01:33
Kendahl
Yeah, i I don't have anything major coming up for a while. School's in session. I'm in school, so, you know, life's busy like it usually is, but and make time for this stuff.
00:01:45
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes. He's got the school and I got all the sports going on. So it's a trade-off.
00:01:49
Kendahl
Okay.
00:01:53
Julian Contreras Jr
But other than that, for the last three weeks, Kendall, I think it's been three. Let's just call it that.
00:01:56
Kendahl
This feels like it.
00:01:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Besides you cleaning your screen right then, but what have you been up to?
00:02:01
Kendahl
Sorry. Well, honestly, it's I got back into the groove of of me going back to school. I'm almost done. I've got just two more classes left, which is really nice.
00:02:14
Kendahl
And this class that I'm taking, it's kind of funny. I had a conversation with a friend of mine today and she goes, so uh, her son is older in his twenties and he's taking a master's program.
00:02:26
Kendahl
And she's like, yeah, he's, he's really doing well, but he's taking this class right now that basically is just kind of sidewalking everything in parallel to what his job is. So she, she said he, he just is not going to school to learn. He's just going to school to fill the class. And it's just basically a fill in the blanks with what you already know kind of class.
00:02:46
Kendahl
And that's exactly how this class that I'm doing is, it's It's a law on special education, or's a I'm sorry, it's a class on special education law and what's called assessment.
00:02:58
Kendahl
it's just It's basically what I do on a day out basis. So it's it's kind of the same. I'm just filling in the b blanks, you know. But it's pretty good. Weather is, I'm not going down the weather things, I promise guys. I'm not going down that route again. But because the weather has been a little bit cooler here, we took the pool down.
00:03:16
Kendahl
Because we had a pull-up. Wife bought a new car.
Car Dealership Adventure
00:03:20
Kendahl
i was That was kind of a crazy adventure. Short story that has a much longer version.
00:03:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:03:28
Kendahl
Go to the dealership.
00:03:28
Julian Contreras Jr
but Hence, short story.
00:03:30
Kendahl
Okay. Yes. Go to the dealership to pick up her car that's being fixed. Car cannot be found. Car still not fixed. So then we...
00:03:44
Kendahl
Think, well, what about looking at a new car? So then we start going around the lot. Wife finds the car she's literally been dreaming about for years, for as long as we can remember, right?
00:03:53
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:03:55
Kendahl
She looks at it. She finds the color she wants, says, what about this one? We do all the normal, you know, long freaking paperwork side. They sell that car in the midst of it.
00:04:08
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh, jeez.
00:04:09
Kendahl
Oh, it gets better. So then we organize, okay, well, since you sold that car, go find us another one that's identical to it and have it shipped here and we but we'll still buy it.
00:04:21
Kendahl
So they do. But now we're at the point of, wait, but we still can't find her car that's supposedly at the dealership being fixed. So we're at the point of just about to put the pen to paper.
00:04:35
Kendahl
And I said, just wait, let's go find your car first because I want to get this. I want to get all the stuff out of it. I want to make sure, you know, blah, blah, blah. Can't find it.
00:04:46
Kendahl
Well, I have an app. So we start, the app shows on GPS that it is at that location.
00:04:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay.
00:04:52
Kendahl
So we literally start going click, click with the app, click, click with the app, click, click with the app. Do you know where we find it in their used car lot with a soul a sign on it for sale with a price as his warranty sticker, the whole nine yards.
00:05:00
Julian Contreras Jr
No.
00:05:10
Julian Contreras Jr
They were going to sell your car they were supposed to be fixing?
00:05:13
Kendahl
It's still, it was in, it was in the section where they have all their cars that they bring in, right? When that, when people bring him in to trade them in or whatever, it's in this line of cars that obviously look like they haven't been cleaned up well enough and are just about to go onto the lot.
00:05:30
Kendahl
And that's where's her that's where hers was.
00:05:32
Julian Contreras Jr
Jeez.
00:05:33
Kendahl
Yeah. So to say the least, they really had to make it right. Which they did.
00:05:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Jeez.
00:05:41
Kendahl
Which they did. they took They took roughly about $8,000 off of the car that we were buying in total. So they made it right for us. We also made them throw in some other fun stuff. But yeah, that was a story and a half.
00:05:54
Julian Contreras Jr
That's
00:05:54
Kendahl
So that was a two-day ordeal, by the way.
00:05:57
Kendahl
Two days. It took us to get it all done. So yeah, it was it was it was a little crazy.
00:06:01
Julian Contreras Jr
good.
00:06:01
Kendahl
But yeah. You know, otherwise, it i that sounds crazy. Sounds like a lot's going on. I really had a good time. Recently,
Family Time and Celebrations
00:06:10
Kendahl
ah ah took, you guys know, I took my daughter to go see K-pop Demon Hunters.
00:06:13
Kendahl
And we, as he said, it up we watched K-pop Demon Hunters again. But this time, because the weather's nice, we have a ah ah big old hundred and something inch blow up screen.
00:06:29
Kendahl
with a projector. And so now we have a standing every Saturday night, uh, outdoor movie night.
00:06:35
Julian Contreras Jr
It's just K-pop demon hunters every Saturday.
00:06:38
Kendahl
Uh, no, no, no, no.
00:06:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. That's good.
00:06:40
Kendahl
But that was the first one. That was the first movie because not everybody in the household had seen it. So that was the K-pop demon hunters that I did watch again. But, it was, it was, it was nice. It was, it's fun. I like having that outdoor theater.
00:06:51
Kendahl
Um, it's really cool having a really big screen that you can watch outside and hang out. So yeah, it was good.
00:06:58
Julian Contreras Jr
Very nice.
00:07:00
Julian Contreras Jr
Sounds like you've had a busy time.
00:07:00
Kendahl
What about you?
00:07:02
Kendahl
Yeah, busy this is relative term. More like just, you know, just keep on doing stuff.

00:07:58
Kendahl

00:09:22
Kendahl
You did? ye Because it's a it's a skyline, right?
00:09:22
Julian Contreras Jr
I'm halfway through it. I started building it on Sunday, but then wanted to take a little nap during football. so
00:09:30
Kendahl
the The skyline car?
00:09:31
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes, the blue skyline.
00:09:31
Kendahl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:32
Julian Contreras Jr
The gray and blue. So it's actually really big. It's a lot bigger than any of the cars I've built with my son before.
00:09:39
Kendahl
Hmm.
00:09:40
Julian Contreras Jr
It's pretty massive. I'll have to show you when I get it completed.
Movie Reviews and Discussions
00:09:44
Kendahl
That's cool.
00:09:44
Julian Contreras Jr
But anyway, I want to get to the entertainment part of this podcast. This why you guys all tune in. The banter is fun and all, but we we want to get you to the theater. We want to get you entertained.
00:09:54
Julian Contreras Jr
TV shows, movies, trailers, whatever it is, that's what we're here for.
00:09:54
Kendahl
yep
00:09:57
Kendahl
Yep.
00:09:58
Julian Contreras Jr
And that's why I'm so excited. Because...
00:10:02
Julian Contreras Jr
I saw a few movies while I was gone. don't want to get to those. Kendall was supposed to see one it didn't work out for him. So he's, he's just going to have to ride the coattails on this one and then kind of pitch in.
00:10:10
Kendahl
Yep.
00:10:14
Julian Contreras Jr
But, and then I definitely want to get to a couple trailers and I, you know, which one I'm talking about Kendall.
00:10:18
Kendahl
Okay. Yep. Yep.
00:10:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Cause I text you earlier cause it just dropped six hours ago as of this recording.
00:10:21
Kendahl
I do. Yep. And I, it makes my heart happy because I was the one that turned you on to this. Well, that's maybe not the right words, but okay.
00:10:31
Julian Contreras Jr
No, no, that's right.
00:10:33
Kendahl
But I am like, I was the one that was like, Hey, you got to look, you got to look this up, but we'll get to that. We'll get to that. So yeah.
00:10:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:10:39
Kendahl
Anyway.
00:10:40
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, first I want to do a, it's I think it's out of theaters now, to be honest, but it was caught stealing with Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz.
00:10:49
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:49
Julian Contreras Jr
It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. There was a lot of action. I felt like everything was going to be in the trailer. There was a little bit more to it. I really liked it, but because it is out of theaters and I'm super late on this one, I apologize. You're going to have to either rent it off of one of your rental streamings or just wait for it to come to the free streamers.
00:11:10
Julian Contreras Jr
I apologize, but I think you guys will like it. It's really good. The action's good. The banter's really good. It took a really hard left turn during a part where I didn't think it was going to go, and i I got kind of sad.
00:11:22
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:11:23
Julian Contreras Jr
going honest.
00:11:24
Julian Contreras Jr
I was like, oh, man, that sucks. But you'll just have to see what I'm talking about, Kendall, when you watch it.
00:11:24
Kendahl
No, OK.
00:11:31
Kendahl
i I feel like this one's going to hit streaming pretty quickly.
00:11:34
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, oh I liked it a lot. So as soon as you see it, please give it a watch. I think you'll enjoy yourself.
00:11:39
Kendahl
Mm-hmm.
00:11:41
Julian Contreras Jr
Definitely rated R, not for the kilos. But the one that my brother and I went to super late at night because I needed to see it before Kindle.
00:11:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Turns out I could have gone the next day. The Long Walk is in theaters. We went super in-depth on the book on this. And I'm going to be honest, Kendall, I feel like it was a mistake.
00:11:52
Kendahl
Oh.
00:12:07
Julian Contreras Jr
Not because we went super long on it, but because I would have enjoyed this movie a lot more had I not read that book.
00:12:07
Kendahl
oh
00:12:14
Kendahl
Okay. Okay. I mean, that's a that you know that that's indicative of some of the film adaptations of books. I think I even mentioned this the last time, a book called The Road.
00:12:22
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:12:25
Kendahl
It's great book. It has a lot of really cool, vivid elements to it, but the movie just did not do the book justice.
00:12:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:12:36
Kendahl
And think I said something similar. the book The movie was pretty good. On its own, if I had never known the book, I think I would have enjoyed the movie.
00:12:45
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:12:45
Kendahl
Knowing what I know about the book, it really changes the dynamic of my interest.
00:12:49
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I feel like we went super in depth because I will go through four of the changes. I will not go over the ending because that is a jerk move. But we spoke about it and it's supposed to be 100 boys in the book.
00:12:58
Kendahl
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:13:04
Kendahl
Right, right
00:13:05
Julian Contreras Jr
In the movie, it's only 50 and it makes it seem like there's one from each state. Doesn't say that, but they call Garrity the local kid, which is what he was in the book.
00:13:11
Kendahl
Okay, it oh Okay, well, yeah, he was yeah Hmm Right right Yeah Right
00:13:17
Julian Contreras Jr
But so it's only 50 kids. And in the book, it's four miles an hour that you have to stay above. In the movie, it's only three. not I'm only saying only three, but three is manageable.
00:13:31
Julian Contreras Jr
And now that I'm speaking about that, I want to speak about the screening that I wish I had invested time to go see and go do.
00:13:43
Julian Contreras Jr
You know which one I'm talking about, Kendall.
00:13:43
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:13:44
Kendahl
Yeah. And they actually did they actually kicked people out of the theater if they they went below that that that speed.
00:13:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:13:52
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. So just for some details, they rented out a theater and they put in those self-propelled treadmills where you have to keep your own speed.
00:14:01
Kendahl
Yep.
00:14:02
Julian Contreras Jr
It's not keeping the speed for you.
00:14:04
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:05
Julian Contreras Jr
And if the, I think it was all YouTubers and all that stuff.
00:14:08
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:14:10
Julian Contreras Jr
If you fell below self-propelled three miles an hour, you were escorted out of the movie and could not finish it.
00:14:16
Kendahl
ye Yeah.
00:14:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Which was an amazing idea. i kind of thought they would do something like that, but to see it actually happen, I think there's a short YouTube video on some of those people that did it.
00:14:28
Julian Contreras Jr
I think it's an awesome idea.
00:14:28
Kendahl
And I think, and if I remember right, right one of the one of the critics that i actually read a review on, said that those that were actually escorted out still were able to come back at a latter point and see the movie, but that they they weren't allowed to finish that movie at that time.
00:14:46
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah So great idea.
00:14:47
Kendahl
so yeah
00:14:50
Julian Contreras Jr
The third thing I'm going to talk about on the movie that they changed was there's not a lot of backstory from all the characters. What you felt like reading the book, you were in four, four and a half hours and you're like, oh my gosh, this seems to be going on forever. But it was good to get those backstories.
00:15:05
Kendahl
yeah yeah i can see that though i mean i could see that
00:15:05
Julian Contreras Jr
But during the movie, you can see how unneeded that is.
00:15:14
Julian Contreras Jr
And then one more thing that I'm going to talk about is how Garrity has the girlfriend. I think her name is Jan.
00:15:22
Kendahl
Yeah, I can't remember her name.
00:15:23
Julian Contreras Jr
That he's trying to see with his mom when they get through his town.
00:15:26
Kendahl
Right.
00:15:28
Julian Contreras Jr
The girlfriend does not exist in the movie.
00:15:31
Kendahl
Oh.
00:15:32
Julian Contreras Jr
they flat out ask him if he's got a girl back home and he says, well, I did. And then he says her name, but it didn't work out. We're not together. I'm like, Oh, what?
00:15:42
Kendahl
What?
00:15:42
Julian Contreras Jr
It's like the whole motivation of the book.
00:15:44
Kendahl
i was going to say that was the whole drive for him to keep going.
00:15:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. But in this one, it shifts completely to his mother.
00:15:51
Kendahl
okay so not without not Okay, so without saying anything, does that play into the dynamic of why they changed the end?
00:15:59
Julian Contreras Jr
No.
00:15:59
Kendahl
Oh, okay.
00:16:00
Julian Contreras Jr
No, not at all.
00:16:01
Kendahl
Okay. All right.
00:16:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Sorry.
00:16:04
Kendahl
No, it's fine.
00:16:04
Julian Contreras Jr
But I still recommend highly seeing The Long Walk. It does deserve that 92 94, whatever it is at the moment that you're listening to this episode.
00:16:12
Kendahl
so I thought it was like, I think it was like 96 last time I looked.
00:16:16
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, it's still really good. i like it. There is a ton. I think this is why Kendall you backed out.
00:16:22
Kendahl
Oh, it's actually dropped down to 89% by the way.
00:16:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, it's still up there.
00:16:27
Kendahl
Yeah, it's still up there.
00:16:29
Julian Contreras Jr
But I think during the 89% is why you're gonna see, there is a ton of F-words in this movie.
00:16:35
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:16:35
Julian Contreras Jr
And I told you about that, and you were like, ooh, maybe I shouldn't go.
00:16:38
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:16:39
Julian Contreras Jr
And then there are a few scenes where, of course, you have to do your bodily functions, but you also cannot stop walking.
00:16:47
Kendahl
Right.
00:16:49
Julian Contreras Jr
So there's a there's a few scenes where you get a little too close to, come for comfort.
00:16:55
Kendahl
Well, so I'll i'll i'll tell you, for everybody listening, the reason why I decided to back out was, so I i go and see the movies with my wife. That's just kind of a thing for us. It's not for any particular other than this is the opportunity that my my wife and I have to usually get out for the week. And this is you know just kind of the way we are.
00:17:15
Kendahl
And sometimes if a movie pushes the limit on some elements, including language, and especially like anything in sexuality, I have to kind of be cautious because I want to enjoy that time with my wife and I want to enjoy the movie.
00:17:28
Julian Contreras Jr
Right.
00:17:29
Kendahl
Now I can enjoy movies without my wife. Often I do that at home. And some of those movies are ones that I know she'll never watch. But in this case, i you know, I pay a membership fee. I want to be able to use that fee.
00:17:42
Kendahl
I'm not going to pay a fee for a movie like this. And my wife just absolutely hate it or not enjoy her time.
00:17:47
Julian Contreras Jr
right
00:17:48
Kendahl
Right. yeah, But I do want to talk about, so one of the things that I was reading is this is actually, this movie did terrible over the weekend.
00:17:59
Kendahl
I know if you've seen anything out on this. So it only pulled in around $4 million for the whole weekend.
00:18:04
Julian Contreras Jr
Go ahead.
00:18:09
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay. Yeah.
00:18:10
Kendahl
So I think internationally, it only pulled $11 million. which that's, it's rough. That's really rough. especially on a movie that's, that's been this advertised, that's been this, this, I don't want long awaited, but, indicators of movies that typically do this like caught stealing.
00:18:17
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:18:30
Kendahl
And it is kind of, I'm putting these two together, even though they're not in the same genre or like same media format, but, or media interest. The difference is they do kind of correlate to the fact that they're very low box office numbers, which typically shifts that dynamic of when they're going to be available for streaming a lot sooner.
00:18:51
Kendahl
because they wanna try to get it in front of people that maybe they don't wanna go to the theater to see it.
00:18:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:56
Kendahl
And sometimes the theater is 25, 30, 40, $60, right? To go see this if you're going with somebody else where you can sit down in your home, rent it for 20 bucks, 17, $18,
00:19:09
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:19:09
Kendahl
and you're spending ah ah half or a third amount of money and you still get to see it.
00:19:13
Kendahl
And so they got to recoup some of that cost. And so they can shift it to the streaming line a lot faster. That's typically what they'll do. And I'm wondering, unfortunately, if that's what this is going to do.
00:19:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I mean, both of these movies were super adult. I'm going to say, because so that might do it. You can't take your kids. You got to find a sitter. Then you're paying a sitter on top of the fees that you're worried about paying at the theater.
00:19:33
Kendahl
Right.
00:19:36
Kendahl
Right.
00:19:36
Julian Contreras Jr
I mean, I get it. and By no means do I ever want to see the theater experience die. I don't want that. I love going to the theater and seeing these on the big screen with the big sounds, the comfortable chairs in most places now, and just having a good time, meeting some friends there, going with your brother at 1105 at night and walking in with two other people.
00:19:52
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:19:59
Julian Contreras Jr
It gets crazy.
00:20:00
Kendahl
So i well I want to talk about that. And I i want to get to that here in just a second, because I did actually have an experience over the weekend or over the week weeks that we were gone in that sentiment of why I went.
00:20:11
Kendahl
But one thing I want to ask really quickly about the long walk is, I i guess, I don't know how I missed it. the Who plays the major?
00:20:18
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I was going to talk about that just now. First, I want to talk about who plays Garrity. I had no idea. His name is Cooper Hoffman.
00:20:28
Kendahl
Oh.
00:20:28
Julian Contreras Jr
And I didn't realize. Yeah, you just had you just made a look because I said that last name.
00:20:32
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:20:33
Julian Contreras Jr
This is Philip Seymour's kid.
00:20:35
Kendahl
Really?
00:20:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, and he does an awesome job.
00:20:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Like he doesn't have the mannerisms of his dad because he was an amazing character actor.
00:20:38
Kendahl
Okay.
00:20:43
Kendahl
So for those that, so for those that know, Philip Seymour Hoffman, he's the guy that it was, it I mean, he was in Civil War. He's in Date Night, not Date Night. What is that?
00:20:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Mission Impossible, he played that.
00:20:52
Kendahl
Game Night, Game Night, Mission Impossible. Like the guy's, he's in a lot, right? I mean, he's just in a lot of
00:20:58
Julian Contreras Jr
if For people out there, if you have not seen Before the Devil Knows You're Dead with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke and Marissa Tomei, do yourself a huge favor.
00:21:04
Kendahl
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:21:09
Julian Contreras Jr
That was an amazing movie.
00:21:11
Julian Contreras Jr
He did such a good job with what he did in that movie. Anyway.
00:21:11
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:21:16
Kendahl
Anyway, he he's, yeah, he's, i mean, he's a great actor. I didn't realize that was his son. That's great. That's, that's crazy that he has a son that's eight, that age, but anyway, I know, I know.
00:21:20
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:21:23
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, we're old, man. We're old. And then, of course, to what Kendall is alluding to, i didn't know either until i saw the final credits and his name popped up as the major.
00:21:35
Julian Contreras Jr
Because I think it's the glasses and the hair.
00:21:37
Kendahl
yeah i yeah i i i totally thought it was i can't think of his name all of a sudden but i i totally thought it was um yeah now what is his name but he always plays he always plays the military guy in all the films i mean he did like back in the day did uh start or what is that troopers uh starship troopers
00:21:38
Julian Contreras Jr
go ahead. I don't want to steal your thunder. Tell us who played the major.
00:22:00
Julian Contreras Jr
OK. Yeah.
00:22:02
Kendahl
I'm trying to think of a couple other ones that he's played in. But I think you know what can't think his name off the hand.
00:22:06
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:22:08
Kendahl
But yeah, I thought it was him. It even sounds like him.
00:22:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Mm-hmm.
00:22:11
Kendahl
So, but obviously it's it's not. This is good old Luke Skywalker.
00:22:17
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:22:17
Kendahl
my gosh, my brain. My brain's off tonight.
00:22:19
Julian Contreras Jr
Mark Hamill.
00:22:20
Kendahl
Mark Hamill, thank you.
00:22:21
Julian Contreras Jr
You're welcome.
00:22:22
Kendahl
So, which is funny because Mark Hamill doesn't do a lot of acting lately. He's been, I mean, he he does a couple of things here and there, but recently he's been more in voice acting. So he's actually been the voice of the Joker in the DC universe for a lot of their animated series. so So he's he's been doing that for a long time. So this is interesting. I didn't i didn't realize it was him.
00:22:42
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, because those huge glasses and the voice and he never takes the hat off and I didn't realize it was him until the very end and then I could see kind of like the jawline and I was like, oh, yeah, it is him.
00:22:46
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:22:52
Julian Contreras Jr
That's crazy.
00:22:54
Kendahl
Yeah. So...
Theater Experience and Movie Previews
00:22:57
Kendahl
Going back to the conversation about the theater. So I actually went and saw Hamilton in the theater because they re-released it into the theaters.
00:23:03
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh.
00:23:05
Kendahl
So I decided that I would go and see Hamilton.
00:23:08
Kendahl
And it was for that reason. I had you know i had seen Hamilton in my my living room. I had been playing it and on my radio. I've done, you know, I did that way, but i I haven't, I didn't go see it in the in the actual, like, you you know, theater experience when it was on a play.
00:23:25
Julian Contreras Jr
okay
00:23:26
Kendahl
And then saw that it was going to be a they were going to, re they were going to release it on the, theater in on the big screen for a theater experience.
00:23:35
Kendahl
And I thought, you know what, this is, this is not, exactly that but it could still be something that is a little more enjoyable because it is it's that it's a visceral experience being inside the theater and so yeah that's that was that was actually the reason i did it and it was a lot of fun it was it was just absolutely wonderful
00:23:52
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah i thought about going to that but i've already i've seen hamilton quite a few times so i was like i don't think i'll get anything more out of that because seeing it on stage is pretty awesome and i'm not bragging like oh yeah i've been to broadway a bunch of times in new york that's not it i've been to like local theater that's a little higher end but that's it
00:23:59
Kendahl
yeah
00:24:08
Kendahl
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:11
Julian Contreras Jr
So it sounds like a great weekend. I'm going to kind of wrap this one up because we are going to talk about a few things right now that's going to lead into episode 70, which we really want to give you guys a headstart going into obviously spooky season and the holiday season for these big movies or maybe not even so big movies that are coming out that look really, really good.
00:24:23
Kendahl
who yeah
00:24:39
Kendahl
Uh huh. ah Well, you have the one that I was thinking about.
00:24:41
Julian Contreras Jr
off the cuff.
00:24:45
Julian Contreras Jr
Okay, so the first one I'm going to say is this movie that has kind of come out of nowhere in the last few days for me with trailers, but it's called Bone Lake.
00:24:57
Julian Contreras Jr
and The trailer looks Bone Lake.
00:24:57
Kendahl
Bone Lake. OK, I think for second, I was that you're talking about the Bone Temple.
00:25:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:25:03
Kendahl
I'm like, that one that one looks good, but that's not coming out till next year.
00:25:05
Julian Contreras Jr
Right, right, right.
00:25:06
Julian Contreras Jr
No, this one's called, for the third time, Bone Lake.
00:25:06
Kendahl
Mm hmm.
00:25:09
Kendahl
Okay.
00:25:10
Julian Contreras Jr
The trailer's out there. It looks pretty scary. It looks like it's a two couples that have rented the same type of Airbnb house on the lake. And there's jokes about the euphemisms that Bone Lake contains.
00:25:24
Kendahl
I couldn't imagine what they would be.
00:25:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, you couldn't. Obviously, let's not. but it goes through those, and then all of a sudden it gets to the scary stuff. So it looks very, very intriguing. I don't know what it's going to look like in theaters, but I'm definitely going to let you guys know as soon as I see it.
00:25:41
Kendahl
Hmm. Yeah, I'm just, I was trying to look it up. I hadn't seen anything on that before. So, yeah.
00:25:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:25:48
Kendahl
Interesting.
00:25:49
Julian Contreras Jr
And then the big one I want to talk about that's super exciting for both of us because we'll get to it, but the Housemaid trailer just dropped six hours ago.
00:25:58
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:26:01
Kendahl
Yeah.
00:26:02
Julian Contreras Jr
And I text you as soon as I saw it.
00:26:02
Kendahl
but I know, and then I'm like, oh, wait till after I get off of work. And then I had like a 10 minute break. I'm like, oh, watch it right now. Ha ha.
00:26:10
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:26:11
Kendahl
That's pretty good.
00:26:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Do yourself a favor. Pause this episode and go watch this trailer. It looks amazing. Even if I hadn't read the book and been excited about it.
00:26:18
Kendahl
Yep.
00:26:21
Julian Contreras Jr
And we're not going to go down the road of the long walk again and go deep dive into this book.
00:26:25
Kendahl
Yep.
00:26:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Because being stuff and things. But... The cast, Sidney Sweeney as Millie.
00:26:35
Kendahl
ye
00:26:35
Julian Contreras Jr
We got Amanda Seyfried as Nina.
00:26:38
Kendahl
ye
00:26:39
Julian Contreras Jr
We got Enzo being played by, i forget his name and I'll have it for you next time. But he's barely in the trailer. He's just kind of like by a bush.
00:26:47
Kendahl
Yeah, just a bit. Yeah, so it just briefly show them.
00:26:50
Julian Contreras Jr
But he is the super talented guy I will talk about from the Netflix series 365. three sixty five If you know, you know.
00:26:57
Kendahl
Oh, okay.
00:27:00
Julian Contreras Jr
just leave at that. And then I forget who plays the husband, but I've seen him in a few other things and he looked a lot more familiar in the trailer than his IMDb photo.
00:27:10
Kendahl
Yeah, he hasn't done a lot of, like, big... Like big picture stuff. I mean, he hasn't been like the main character where he is in this one.
00:27:18
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah. But we we will have those names for you next time. i apologize we didn't do that much research because the trailer just dropped. I've watched it about four times now. I'm trying to pick out the scenes that I remember from the book.
00:27:30
Kendahl
I will say that I felt like they portrayed the house in the way that I felt the house looked. i
00:27:36
Julian Contreras Jr
Yes.
00:27:36
Kendahl
I did like that.
00:27:38
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. I like a lot about this. I'm really hoping... did you i wanted to say they moved it up a week. We had previously mentioned it was coming out on Christmas Day.
00:27:46
Kendahl
Yeah, it was Christmas.
00:27:48
Julian Contreras Jr
But now it's coming out on the 19th before Christmas. I think they realize maybe this isn't a Christmas movie.
00:27:51
Kendahl
Yeah. i Well, I think it's good, too. I think it's a better option for them because I don't think people would be interested to go see this on Christmas Day. Yeah.
00:27:59
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. I mean, I would. But I'm me. So those are the the two major ones that I want to focus on.
00:28:07
Julian Contreras Jr
We will get a list of upcoming ones for you guys on episode 70. I've mentioned that like three times now. I'm sorry. I'm just super excited.
00:28:15
Kendahl
yeah
00:28:15
Julian Contreras Jr
i think I might have a road build today. i don't know. We'll see.
00:28:18
Kendahl
Well, I think the thing is, is so we you know I think it was like February-ish, we had a podcast that we talked about all the movies coming out this year. But we also said at the very end of the day, we know that there's going new trailers coming through. There's going to other things that are coming up that were not mentioned that we didn't know.
00:28:35
Kendahl
And yeah, I mean, like in all honesty, the one that I'm thinking of is the other Stephen King one, The Running Man. Because that was also that.
00:28:44
Julian Contreras Jr
Oh yeah, Glenn Powell.
00:28:46
Kendahl
Yeah, exactly. and And so but that was one I didn't even have on my radar at all, but has ah ah was also in production roughly at the same time as The Long Walk.
00:28:54
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:28:56
Kendahl
It's just they're pushing that back a little bit. But anyway, that's what you know, that's the kind of stuff that we're talking about. There's there's these other movies. There's going to be a few movies that absolutely we talked about at the beginning of the year that we're excited for that are coming up.
00:29:07
Kendahl
at the end of the year. yeah One of those, again, if you know, you know. And i think that's the thing about us is that I know we took a few weeks off. I apologize for being gone.
00:29:18
Kendahl
But, know, this is this is something we like to do. It's something we enjoy doing. And I'm excited for some of these movies coming out.
00:29:25
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah, I am as well. I can't wait to get to that list. I'm going to watch the Housemaid trailer a couple more times.
00:29:34
Kendahl
might want to calm down.
00:29:34
Julian Contreras Jr
i'll I'll show my wife.
00:29:36
Kendahl
Yeah. It's a great...
00:29:37
Julian Contreras Jr
Uh, I do want to talk a little bit about the book when we get there, because I, I talked to you about it and we'll save that for when we deep dive into the housemaid.
00:29:44
Kendahl
Yeah.
Book to Movie Adaptations
00:29:51
Julian Contreras Jr
But if you want to, actually, I'm not even going to say recommend read the book this close to the movie, because I don't want it to have the same effect on you guys as I did on the long walk.
00:29:51
Kendahl
yeah it's a great
00:29:57
Kendahl
yeah
00:30:01
Julian Contreras Jr
So I'm not going to say that.
00:30:01
Kendahl
the
00:30:01
Julian Contreras Jr
Just wait for the movie.
00:30:02
Kendahl
the The thing is you have to understand, so, uh, Frieda McFadden is the author for the the book that the movie is based on. Frieda McFadden has a very, very distinct,
00:30:14
Kendahl
formula for her books. And it it can be very frustrating for some people, and it can be very entertaining for others. And this movie is perfect for her formula. i just It just works well.
00:30:29
Julian Contreras Jr
Right. Right.
00:30:29
Kendahl
I'm not going to go into that because I don't want to do that.
00:30:31
Kendahl
But you know one of the things I love about her books, i read I'm actually reading one right now called Brain Damage. I like the author a lot. her books are very interesting. They build a lot on characters.
00:30:46
Kendahl
it's not really about set pieces. It's not about the experience of the characters. It's really just about the mental state of each character. And that's really what a lot of her books are based around. And,
00:30:57
Kendahl
This movie, this book is really based around Millie and her mental status, trying to figure out everything that's going on. And I, like you said, the trailer does a really great job ah of of kind of showing some cool stuff going on.
00:31:11
Kendahl
But I do think, and I'm going to agree with you on this. If you want to read this book, read it after you see it, because I have a feeling they're going to remove a lot of key factors of why this book was so.
00:31:25
Kendahl
Turning. That's a good word for it.
00:31:26
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah. Yeah.
00:31:27
Kendahl
Why it was so turning and why it was such a huge, huge part of that, like, oh my gosh, did that just happen moment? Because I think there's some details that are in the book that they will have to forego in the movie to try to supplement that same idea, but in a a shorter period of time.
00:31:46
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:31:46
Kendahl
Because that book was nine hours or something like that.
00:31:49
Kendahl
It took me to listen to it. So yeah. And that that that was on normal speed. at like I think it's like nine hours is what it it portrays. But the book itself is like 400 or 500 something pages.
00:31:57
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah
00:32:02
Kendahl
It's a big book. So, I mean, not a big book, but you know what i mean It's a decent sized book. So it'll take you a couple of days as a normal reader to get through it. You don't have that time to sit through a movie, you know?
00:32:12
Julian Contreras Jr
yeah in closing I want to give a huge shout out to my friend Hannah who kindly gifted me on Apple the new Dexter season original sin
00:32:12
Kendahl
So anyway.
Personal Updates and Encouragement
00:32:27
Kendahl
oh
00:32:28
Julian Contreras Jr
She wants me really, really bad to watch it. And I love Dexter. She knows that. But she's confused of why I have it. It's because I don't have access to Showtime no matter how hard I try to get it through my provider.
00:32:38
Kendahl
ye yeah yeah
00:32:41
Julian Contreras Jr
But she gifted it to me and I promised I would start it. And then it's been a crazy couple days. And so she's she's like, hey, give me that content. yeah
00:32:51
Julian Contreras Jr
Talk about it. But I will. I promise, Hannah, if you're listening, I got you.
00:32:57
Kendahl
Yeah,
00:32:58
Julian Contreras Jr
All right. Kendall, any final words for the ticket holders real quick? Because we're going to see them soon.
00:33:04
Julian Contreras Jr
We're going to see them real soon.
00:33:04
Kendahl
yeah we're going to come back quicker.
00:33:05
Kendahl
We're going to come back a lot quicker than this last time. Last time it was like three weeks. I apologize. We're going to be back quicker than that. I promise. so
00:33:11
Julian Contreras Jr
Yeah.
00:33:12
Kendahl
No, honestly, i I go back to the same old, same old. You know what? Hug the ones you love. Enjoy life. Find the good things. Find something to do. You know what? Recently, i I went on a 10 mile bike ride.
00:33:26
Kendahl
i I don't, I, that's not something I normally do, but I loved it.
00:33:27
Julian Contreras Jr
Look at you.
00:33:30
Kendahl
It was so nice. I, I just put on my headphones, listened to a book and i just rode. And then all of a sudden five miles went past. i was like, Oh, I got to turn around.
00:33:42
Kendahl
And so I turned around. So I ended up riding like 10 and a half miles total. Um, It was great. I didn't think I'd like something like that.
00:33:48
Julian Contreras Jr
Nice.
00:33:49
Kendahl
So in some way I'm saying, go do something that's maybe out of your wheelhouse that just gives you that time to yourself. Because right now I think that's what everybody needs. It's just that feel good. Something that makes you enjoy life a little bit, whether that be a movie, whether it be a 10 mile bike ride, you know, whether it be painting, I went painting over the weekend too.
00:34:08
Kendahl
I didn't even talk about that, but I did a painting thing and that was a lot of fun too. And
00:34:12
Julian Contreras Jr
And whether it be watching your kid play soccer and scoring three times and they are team winning 20 to zero.
00:34:16
Kendahl
that's,
00:34:18
Kendahl
That's exactly. I was actually just about to go that route. I think you just go do something with your kids.
00:34:21
Julian Contreras Jr
Just that one.
00:34:22
Kendahl
If you got kids, find your joy, you know, just find your joy. And that's what I'm here for. And that's what I do every day. That's my job. Help my my kids that I work with find joy. And, you know, I tell you guys do the same thing every single episode. And and live by that.
00:34:37
Kendahl
So do that. Go out there. Find something good. Watch something good. Listen to something good. Do something good. Just find your joy.
00:34:47
Julian Contreras Jr
Amen, I guess.
00:34:50
Julian Contreras Jr
