Hello and welcome back to Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. I am your host, Movie Mike. Today I have for you seven prolific movie quotes from unlikely sources. These quotes taught me lessons, but they're not from your typical movies that you would think would teach you a lesson. In the movie review, we'll be talking about the Running man, starring Glenn Powell, and In the Trailer park, one of the biggest music biopic trailers of all time. But do we really need another biopic? We'll be breaking down the Michael trailer. Thank you for being here. Thank you for being subscribed. Shout out to the Monday morning Movie crew. And now let's talk movies from the Nashville Podcast Network.

This is Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.

A
I want to revisit seven of my favorite movie quotes that carry a surprisingly deep message about life, about your purpose in life, about your perspectives on the world. I went through and pulled seven of my favorite quotes that maybe at the time when I watched these movies, because they're not essentially movies that you would go to to find lessons about life. They're not big dramas. But I always like finding the beauty where it's not supposed to be. If you're a long time listener to this podcast, you know, I say that phrase a lot and it's because I think that is where the good stuff is, where you don't expect to find it. These moments where you're watching something and suddenly just kind of clicks and you're like, man, that hits kind of hard. Why did that go so deep? Why does this person feel like a philosopher right now? But I'm watching an animated movie, so in no particular order, first up is from a movie from 2004, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. And when I first watched this movie, I was like, where is there a White Castle? And how do I get there now? Because they made this food seem so desirable. If you don't remember or have never seen this amazing movie from 2004, it's about two friends. One of them works an office job, total normal dude has a crush on a girl in his apartment. The other guy is his roommate, who is a stoner, really smart guy, but just has no drive to get anything done and put any of his talents to use. And they go on this crazy journey because they get stoned and they think, man, White Castle sounds so good right now. And they will stop at nothing to get it because once they have this meal in their minds, they can't think of anything else and nothing else. Satisfies that hunger for them. And this line towards the end of the movie, whenever they get arrested and end up in jail, they're sitting in this jail and they end up with this cellmate who is just this smart looking guy reading a book, and he drops this wisdom on them. That is my go to line of wisdom. Whenever there is something bothering me, whenever there are all these outside sources that feel like they're just messing with me, the whole world's just kind of picking and poking at me, pulling off my scabs just so they can see me bleed. I go back and think about this quote from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.
- [05:41]
B
People have been messing with me my whole life. I learned a long time ago there's no sense getting all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should.
- [05:54]
A
That line right there at the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should. Such a prolific line spoken here by the character named Tariq, who is played by Gary Anthony Williams, who I also remember loving. He was one of the recurring cast members in Malcolm in the Middle. He played Stevie's dad. And it was that line that I always go back to. The universe tends to unfold as it should. That brings me a level of comfort. Because sometimes when you see people around you who maybe have done you wrong and you think, man, that person just did me straight up dirty. And now they're going on reaping the benefits of them doing something dirty. To me, I always think it comes down to karma. And that is exactly what that quote says. The universe tends to unfold as it should. What goes around comes around. And I truly believe in that. That what you put out into the world is exactly what you get back. And I learned that from watching Harold and Kumar go to White Castle in 2004. Next up on my list is a movie from 1995, which was highly impactful on my taste of comedies in the 90s. The movie is Friday. The quote is from the character Pops, played by John Witherspoon. RIP by the way, he died in 2019, which is weird to think I was like, oh, he just died fairly recently. 2019 was six years ago, so it's now been that long without John Witherspoon. But what Friday is about, you have Craig, Smokey, and it all comes down to $200 that they owe Big Worm. In the movie, it starts out with Craig losing his job. Smokey tries to cheer him up, as any best friend should. They do Some things with some illegal substances. That probably wasn't the best idea because that is Smokey's business. You can't get high on your own supply. But they do that. That lead to the mess of trouble that they get into where they have to pay back this money that they owe. Don't do it by Friday. There definitely will not be a Saturday. But they are also dealing with the villain in this movie, Debo, who is the guy who goes around town stealing everybody's stuff, beating people up, taking their money. And Craig gets mixed up with Debo. And what he wants to do is take his gun and just go shoot Debo. And when he goes back to his house to get his gun, he is confronted by his dad. His dad, Pops, who was a really old school guy, was a boxer growing up. And he sees his son grabbing a gun and he uses that opportunity to teach him a very valuable lesson. And again, this is in Friday, a movie where you have a character named Big Worm where Smokey at one point gets busted using the bathroom, going number two outside. All these crazy things. But then you get dropped with this really valuable life lesson.
- [08:49]
B
You kids today are nothing but punks. So quick to pick up a gun, you're scared to take an ass weapon. This one makes you a man. When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some, you lose some, but you live. You live to fight another day. You think you're a man with that gun in your hand, don't you? I'm a man without it. Put the gun down. Come on, put up your dukes. Now you're a man.
- [09:15]
A
That is such a valuable life lesson. I was lucky enough to grow up with a dad who, looking back on it, didn't teach me all the things I needed to know. Like that I know my dad loved me. I know he showed me the value of hard work. But for a lesson like that, I went to Friday, where I think if more people understood that lesson, this world would be an entirely different place. And I know fighting is just not always the answer, but I would definitely pick a fist fight over pulling out a gun. Because what he says in that quote is, you can live to fight another day. You can get the crap knocked out of you, but. But you can pick yourself back up. But then you also both have to agree not to fight dirty. So. So somebody should put that right on a poster. You win some, you lose some, but you live. You live to fight another day. That is from Friday from 1995. Next up on my list, as my Third quote, Twister, obviously one of my favorite movies of all time. I've talked about it in length. The only movie in my life that I've seen at least over 50 times. What this movie is about. Two storm chasers are on the brink of divorce. It starts out with Bill going back to meet up with his old crew because Joe has not signed the paperwork to seal their divorce and tie up all the loose ends. And she uses it kind of as a way to suck him back in because she's not quite over loving him. But he is there with the soon to be new wife and instead of signing the papers, they start working together again to create an advanced warning alert system. But they have to put themselves in the danger of a tornado, which are incredibly violent to do so. And I know on the surface this movie is about people chasing tornadoes. That is the big, exciting, fun part of Twister. The poster is the big twister with all the cows and the trucks. That is what we remember from this movie. But movies are always about the story underneath it. While it is on the surface a story about storm chasers, underneath that is a story about a woman dealing with her grief, the loss of her father. That has really fueled this passion because it starts out at the beginning of the movie with her as a kid witnessing one of the most traumatic things ever. Not only seeing her dad die right in front of her eyes, but seeing him taken away by a tornado. That is what motivates her to be so passionate to about finding a system that actually works so this does not happen to somebody else. Because she sees herself in every family that a tornado's destruction affects. It all goes back to her childhood and her dealing with that grief of losing her father. And wow, it has been good because she has been so passionate about this and wanting to save and help people. It has also been a detriment to her own mental health because she has had a really hard time moving on. And again, this movie is a lot of fun. You have other quotes like it's fatty time and food, food. But then Bill Paxton drops this line at one of the most tense moments in the movie.
- [12:26]
B
Kill. Things go wrong. You can't explain it, you can't predict it. Killing yourself won't bring your dad back. I'm sorry he died, but it was a long time ago. Gotta move on. Stop living in the and look at what you got right in front of you. What are you saying me, Joe?
- [12:49]
A
I think that is a lesson that just resonates with me now. I have been lucky that I Haven't lost anybody super close to me. Knocking on wood right now. My grandma is 96 years old right now, just went through hip surgery and is still as healthy as can be. So I am lucky on that front, even though she is my only living grandparent. So luckily I haven't had to apply this lesson exactly how it is in the movie. But what he said there about you got to stop living in the past and look at what you have right in front of you. That is a lesson that really sticks with me as somebody who struggles with romanticizing the past. And I think me as a millennial. Our generation often gets criticized for being too into nostalgia and thinking about all the good old days. I could literally spend a day just going back on all those memories and it almost feels like I'm taking some kind of drug, like it's doing something to my brain that kind of satisfies it. But it could also be affecting me in a negative way. If I could just go back to one day going to Blockbuster and holding up a physical movie, how better my life would be, even just for a day. Gotta move on, because someday this is going to be the past that we are nostalgic about. And if we have lost people along the way, even they wouldn't want us to live in that moment to the point where it made us sick. I think it is great to remember those that we have lost, but they would want you to move on as well, honor their memory. It's great, but you can't live in the past. You gotta pay attention to what's right in front of you. Ironically enough, Bill Paxton passed away back in 2017. And I was thinking, man, if we could got Twisters with Glenn Powell also adding in a Bill Paxton cameo, even though his son was in the movie, that would have been amazing. I wish they would have rebooted that just a little bit earlier. But at number three is that quote from Twister. Next up on my list, as we get to seven, at number four is a quote from A Bug's Life in 1998. The movie is about a misfit ant named Flick, who sets out on a journey to find some warriors to save his colony from a bunch of greedy grasshoppers. So he recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be a bunch of bugs that are just in a circus troupe. This movie taught me a lot of lessons as a kid. Thinking of Flick's character, who was so innovative and ahead of his time in the ant world, where he was trying to make these inventions to make their life easier. And everybody in that ant colony was so old school and they pushed him aside. They thought, what are you doing here? You're wasting your time. We've been doing this for so many years the same way. Why change it? If it's not broke, don't fix it. But Flick saw potential in his ideas and he wanted to make their lives easier through the use of technology. And they didn't see any value in that. They led him on this wild goose chase, basically saying, go, yeah, go try to find some people and just get out of our way. And what he ends up doing and discovering on this journey actually changes all their lives forever. But he has to deal with these pesky grasshoppers who are evil. All they do is force the ants to collect food for them so they can spend all their time just doing whatever they want. And then whenever winter rolls around, all they do is go back to the ants and collect their food. So the ants have to collect double enough for them to have food and enough for the grasshoppers to have food. And they do that because, like I was mentioning earlier, it's just the way it's always been done. But then you have Flick stand up against them and the grasshoppers do not like that because it changes the balance of power. And this line in a bug's life not only applies to a story in a Pixar movie, can also apply to the world.
- [16:48]
B
You let one ant stand up to.
- [16:51]
A
Us, then they all might stand up.
- [16:55]
B
Those puny little ants outnumber us 100 to 1. And if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life. It's not about food.
- [17:06]
A
It's about keeping those ants in line. That is a really powerful quote. And I didn't realize it at the time. When I was a kid, the big lesson that this movie was teaching me, and I don't think this movie was meant to drive home this lesson in the kid, but just looking back on the first run of Pixar movies that were so impactful, they're just not making them like they used to. Especially when you look at Elio earlier this year, if we could go back to a Pixar movie having this level of intensity, and if you think about that quote and how it could apply to our society today, how a lot of us are pitted against each other from one side versus the other side, we, we are told to hate each other by this all powerful force that just wants to keep the order like it is, the way it is and the way it benefits them. Like the grasshoppers being able to get their food for free because they have convinced the ants that this is the way it should be. Even though the ants have more power than them. That's us as the people. And it serves as a powerful metaphor of the potential and the strength of collective action. If we actually all came together and we're all on the sides of wanting to see real change to benefit us, the majority, the ants, and as individuals, we could find that courage to resist some of these forces that have been oppressing us, how powerful that could be. That is the message we found in A bug's life from 1998. Moving on to the fifth quote. It comes to us from Road Trip from the year 2000.
- [18:42]
B
From the year 2000.
- [18:46]
A
Road Trip is a raunchy comedy about four college friends who go on that a road trip to get back a tape with some incriminating footage on it, some R rated, maybe even X rated footage on it that was mistakenly mailed to a female friend of one of the male characters. And on this trip, they go to parties, they get into some trouble, they get into some car trouble. And there is this one scene where they are wanting to take a shortcut. And it's a very quick line spoken by a character named Reuben. But he's like the really insightful one, the one who smokes a lot of pot. And he is kind of the philosophical one in the group. And he drops this line that. At the time I didn't really think much about it, but the more I think about this line, I realize how much wisdom it actually has. Here is that quote from Road Trip.
- [19:39]
B
It's supposed to be a challenge. That's why they call it a shortcut. If it was easy, it would just be the way.
- [19:44]
A
I think that is a great way to think about life. To me, this is what this quote means, that a shortcut is inherently more difficult and risky than the main path. You think about achieving your goals and how a lot of people tell you different things about how to achieve your goals. If you've ever seen that illustration that shows what success is, it has what people think it looks like, and it's just a straight arrow pointing up. And then it has what it actually looks like, which is basically a squiggly line with an arrow at the end that eventually goes up, but you have to go through all these different avenues to get there. That is what success actually looks like. It's a bunch of just squigglies until you reach your goal, hopefully. I think what this quote means Is that a shortcut is inherently more difficult and risky than the main path. You think about how a lot of people tell you what you need to do to be successful. You need to go to college. And if you decide, I don't want to go to college, that's not for me. I'm just going to go do the thing I want to do. That is seen as a shortcut. Like, whoa, you don't have to go do four years of school. You just go do the thing you want to do. That doesn't make any sense. I had to put in four years. Why should you just be able to go and do the thing? While to some, that might feel like a shortcut, removing those four years of school, that is actually a much riskier and difficult thing to do, which increases the level of failure because you don't have that easy path to walk on. Not that going to college is easy. I did it. I had my bachelor's degree. Also not an easy thing. But I think now we are starting to see more that you don't necessarily have to go to college to be successful and get the job that you want, Especially in certain fields right now where technology has really leveled the playing field. I don't even think what I'm doing now I needed my degree in. So I think now that shortcut is being a little bit more accepted as society. Because a shortcut doesn't imply to me that a path is easy. It's not the standard route. Because true success in achieving a goal still requires that hard work, overcoming challenges. Because if you do decide to take those shortcuts and take those risks, you're not going to see those unforeseen challenges that nobody can really warn you about or those complications that you get into because you're not on the main road. But I will tell you that once you do get to that goal and you taste that sweet fruit, it's going to taste so much better and so much sweeter because of all those hard things you had to go through to get there. I have felt that a lot in my life. When I first set out on my journey of getting healthy, all these people told me all these different things that you have to do to lose weight. I tried a lot of them, and it was unsuccessful in many ways. First time I set out to lose weight was not the time that it stuck. But that last time I actually did, I used all those things I learned from finding my own path to achieve that goal. Life is all about the paths you take. None of those paths are Going to be easy. In the end, it all comes down to the effort you put in, the perseverance that you have. Whether you find ways to work smarter, not harder, or you just go the traditional route, there are many different avenues you can take to achieve your goals. Maybe sometimes you just got to open up your mind to a shortcut quote, unquote. Or maybe sometimes you just got to stick in that path that is right in front of you, find the perfect way for you. But again, this is a quote from Road Trip, one of the raunchiest comedies of the 2000s. Dropping some life knowledge there. Next up, got a couple quotes left. Number six comes to us from Pokemon, the first movie in 1998. The movie is about scientists that genetically create a new Pokemon named Mewtwo. But as they find out, the results are horrific and disastrous as Mewtwo destroys the labor that he was created in. I don't know if Mewtwo is a guy or a girl that they were created in. And Mewtwo sets out to find their purpose in life and does some shady things along the way. I used to watch Pokemon a lot as a kid. One of my favorite parts of the show was whenever they were going to commercial break, and they'd be like, who's that Pokemon? And I always used to do the quote of the Pokemon that it was because all the Pokemon just basically say their name as their speaking voice. That's all they can say. Some other really weird ones, like Starmie, just come out yelling for some reason, like Pikachu's, like, pika, Pika. And then Charmander, you know, just says Charmander. And then for no reason, Starmie's like, yeah, but one of my favorites was Mewtwo, because Mewtwo just spoke regular English. He just talked. And I would always quote Mewtwo. And the line I would say is, what is my purpose? And that was from this movie because Mewtwo is unlike all the other Pokemon, doesn't say their own name, and also doesn't make some crazy sound like Star me. But this fantastic line comes to us towards the end of the movie, after Ash has sacrificed himself in order to save his own Pokemon. He takes a hit from Mewtwo and then gets turned into stone. You have Pikachu crying over his body, shocking him, trying to bring him back to life, but he is entirely made of stone. And it's not until Pikachu cries in his tears. And the tears of all the other Pokemon in the Pokemon stadium bring Ash back to life. And that is where it Starts to set into Mew of what he has done and what it means to be a human and what it means to be a Pokemon. Here is that quote of the knowledge dropped to us by Mewtwo.
- [25:20]
B
The human sacrificed himself to save the Pokemon. I pitted them against each other, but not until they set aside their differences did I see the true power they all shared deep inside. I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
- [25:43]
A
It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are. Said to us by a Pokemon. I think Mewtwo was done wrong in this movie. And looking back on it now as an adult, which I do rewatch this movie at least once a year, I realized that Mewtwo was painted as the villain, but really wasn't. He was created by this group of scientists for their own benefit. And he broke out. He was being used to fight other Pokemon as their weapon. He was used as a weapon. And then as soon as he got aware of his situations, he became too smart. He became too strong. He blew the entire place down and escaped and went out to this island and then was able to get all these other Pokemon there on his island to essentially do the same thing to them that the humans did to him. I don't think he was the villain here. I think he was born from a place of rage. I would be rageful, too. But there, in that incredible character development, he tells us that it's about what you do with the gift of life. Because he has had a change of heart after seeing how selfless Ash Ketchum was as he sacrificed himself to save his Pokemon. So even though he had all this anger because he was created by these humans, put in these terrible circumstances, he realized that it's about the decisions you make in life and not about where you come from that actually define you. So it wasn't about his awful origin story. It's about what you do with the cards that you are dealt. And I believe this wholeheartedly. And it's something that I had to learn, probably in my mid to late twenties, this hard lesson. Because in life, you are going to be put into awful situations. And it's about how you react to those awful situations that determine what your life is going to be like. Because we all have crappy things happen to us, crappy things happening to our family in the world as a whole. And it's about how you react to those situations. Because some of the people who are the most successful in life have had to come back from some really dark times. And it's not easy. Sometimes putting a smile on your face and powering through is the last thing you want to do. When all you do is want to be angry at the world. You want to do like Mewtwo and burn it all down and leave behind a path of destruction that is only going to be more harmful to you and you're only going to live in this vicious cycle of being miserable. And Mewtwo learned that in that situation and taught us all as very young kids that it's all about how you react to your environment and how you can change your own path by doing so. So it doesn't matter what your background is, how or where you were born. And that doesn't define your character. Instead, it's your actions, your choices, who truly determine who you are. That is what I learned from that quote right there. Pokemon, the first movie, continues to spew so many life lessons. And finally, my seventh quote on the list comes to us from Men in black from 1997, from Agent K, played by Tommy Lee Jones. The movie, in case you haven't seen it, if you haven't seen it, where have you been? Maybe some younger listeners who have not seen the greatness that is Men in Black, but it's about a secret government agency that monitors alien life on Earth. And Agent K and Will Smith's character, Agent J, have to recover an item that has been stolen by an intergalactic villain. And K recruits Agent J and he drops this line on him that is so philosophical and doesn't really fit in place with all the other crazy things that happen in this movie.

B
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it. 1500 years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
- [29:52]
A
That quote is so impactful on my way of thinking that you have to constantly adapt to a world that is changing and being provided new information. And the minute you stop learning is the minute you get left behind. Because if you look throughout history, the dumbest people have been the people who have not wanted to embrace change, not wanted to embrace new information, not wanted to embrace the changing of the times. Because what he says there is how constantly our world is changing and we have to accept it. If we don't accept it, we are not going to learn anything new. And we're going to be doomed to repeat history. And I think that has made me want to be constantly curious, trying to figure out things, why they are the way they are, how we can challenge our way of thinking in order to advance ourselves. Because you could be presented with one piece of information that could wreck your entire world. And I get how that could be terrifying to some. Still terrifying to me to think there could be some extraterrestrial life out there monitoring us right now, listening to this podcast, thinking, what is this stupid human talking about all these stupid movies, these moving pictures, trying to pick out these philosophical lessons. But if you look all throughout history it has been people trying to figure out and understand the world and discovering new things. The world used to be flat. We used to think we were alone. Imagine what you will know tomorrow. It both excites me and it terrifies me. Which it should. But it should make you always want to have an open mind. Has there been a movie quote that you didn't expect to change the way that you think? That is the question I want to ask you right now. If you want to send me a DM, you want to email me movie miked gmail.com hit me up on DMS on Instagram, wherever. I'm all over the place, or send me a message or comment on my YouTube page YouTube.com mikedishero what movie/ like this from an unlikely source has really stuck with you? I'll come back and I'll give my spoiler free review of the Running Man.

Let's get into it now. A spoiler free movie review of the Running man. Or as I've been calling it lately, the Running man. Starring Glenn Powell, directed by Edgar Wright. This is the movie, I said. It's going to determine whether or not Glenn Powell turns into the bankable star that Hollywood wants him to be. And I knew even way back in the Dark Knight Rises, whenever he gets his head smashed by Bane. And I was like, man, that is a guy who knows how to take a hit. He is going to be A star. Now, I didn't really know him then, but I think to us as just the general public, we see somebody like him who is finally starting to really come into focus. We're starting to see him everywhere and we just see that success. We think overnight he has just become a star. But he's been around for so long and I think this is now his big leading role that is going to determine whether or not he is going to be that next leading man in Hollywood. Some people are queuing him up to be the next Tom Cruise because I think he is as versatile as a Tom Cruise. But what we have here in the Running man, it is a remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, which I realized just last week. I was talking about Predator, which is another franchise tied to Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is really big right now, apparently remaking his movies. Also, this is the second Stephen King adaptation I've seen in theaters this year. And I think both of those things are going to play into how I ended up feeling about this movie. Because I thought this was going to be an instant top. At least 15 for me. Because I like Glenn Powell. I love Edgar Wright, who has directed movies like Scott Pilgrim versus The World. Baby Driver has a really unique style that blends almost this hyper realism, great action. Although it feels like it's set in our world, it also feels like it's set in an entirely different universe. That is very Edgar Wright. And I really enjoy his style. I think he is a great director. But I just found myself saying, why now? Why make this movie now? What are you trying to say? But what the movie is about, it takes place in the near future. Glen Powell plays a character named Ben Richards who is down on his luck. It starts out you find out about his family. He has a kid who is really sick. And in this world it is really hard for anybody to get medicine. And the poor are the poorest of the poor and the rich are the richest of the rich. And the kind of last ditch effort a lot of people who are struggling have to make money is to go on TV and compete in these different types of game shows that are really meant to humiliate the poor and in turn also put your life on the line just to make enough money to survive. And Ben Richards is in a place where he can't work. So this is the only way that he can earn money to save his daughter and also have money to give back to his wife. So he is a really angry guy, which I think was hard for me to really place Glen Powell as an angry guy. The problem I had settling into this movie at the beginning is it felt like his story was really just kind of thrust upon us, where you're supposed to feel instantly sad for him, because how could you not feel bad for a guy with a sick kid just trying to provide for his family? But I feel like it really failed on making me feel emotional early on in the movie, which eventually, as all the action unfolded, really kept me from connecting to Ben Richards as a person. But once we got into the actual action of the movie, once he is convinced by the evil villain Josh Brolin to compete in these games by telling him, I think you have what it takes. Because in the entire run of this show, nobody has made it till the end, survived 30 days while being hunted by these assassins, where also all the citizens of the world can report you. So that is what you're trying to do. You're trying to outrun all the citizens from reporting you and survive the assassins who have been sent out to kill you. And you basically learn the rules of the game. You have to keep running. And you also have to document yourself for at least a brief period every day to prove that you are alive. So you have to send back these tapes, and that is kind of the overview of the game and really all you need to know. But I found myself just really struggling to understand who Ben Richards was. And I think that combined with me really only being able to see Glen Powell as a likable guy. And as Josh Brolin is telling his character that he is the most ruthless guy and meanest guy he's ever met, I just couldn't really see that in him. And that really kept me from enjoying the overall arc of his character. And while I don't think he did a bad job at portraying that, I just think maybe he was a little bit miscast in this movie overall. Because when I look around at the entire cast, Josh Brolin obviously is a fantastic villain. Thanos himself just comes down and crushes any role where he has to be a jerk. He is just really good at it. And surprisingly, sometimes when an actor plays a role or a jerk so well, I find myself not being able to be a fan of that person as a human. But for some reason, I just really root for Josh Brolin. His entire story of being an actor who has just put in the work at times, not even making enough money to survive. Whenever he did no country for Old Men, he had very little money to his name. And that movie really just allowed him to keep going as an actor, to think that is the point he was at in 2007 and now has been in two of the biggest movies of the year, the Running man and Weapons. I just really root for him, and despite him at times playing characters that I don't like and don't identify with whatsoever, I constantly root for Josh Brolin and have no trouble liking him as a person and not letting his characters affect me. With some other people who play villains, I find myself unfairly hating them, even though them as people haven't really done anything. It's a weird psychological thing by how you see certain people. And even on the other end, you can see somebody playing a superhero or always playing likable people that are probably awful off camera. But Josh Brolin is somebody who anytime he is in a movie, he always brings it up a level. Another actor like that in this movie is Colman Domingo, who also can elevate a movie just with his presence. Just his voice alone soothes something in my soul. And he always gives a great performance. And his character in this movie was really over the top. And I thought he settled into that really well. Where this movie really lacked for me, I just thought it was going to have a little bit more action. For a movie that ran over two hours, I never felt fully engaged in the story. By the end of it, I thought this wasn't the greatest theater experience I've had this year. But if I would have watched this movie first on an airplane or in a hotel room on vacation, I would have loved it. Because this movie really maxed out and stalled in about the second act. And the third act was just kind of a mess for me. So it was still entertaining. It got me to the end, but it really had trouble getting over that last hurdle to become a movie that was worthy of a remake. It felt like it was just the Arnold Schwarzenegger version. They got a little bit of a facelift with the cgi and some of the character design overall just looked better. But I don't really know why this movie was necessary in the end. I also think just compared to the other Stephen King adaptation I've seen this year, the Long Walk. The Long Walk just had so much more emotion. And I feel like these two stories kind of said the same thing. And I think at the end of it, unfairly. I've just been watching a lot of things like this recently that all kind of have to do with a similar subject matter. You have a dystopian future where most of the citizens are poor and you have this government who oversees everybody, who is trying to keep the poor poor, and they really only give them this little glimmer of hope by making them do something crazy. In the long walk it was going on, this competition where the last person standing gets to make one wish. But that is the only shot you have to make money and be successful and. And have all those things that you don't have right now. I felt like it was the same thing in the Running man where the only reason he competed these deadly games and risk losing his life to not be there for his family was just so they would have a shot at survival. I felt like both of these movies were saying the exact same thing. And the weird thing is, if I'm describing this movie to somebody, I'm like, it's just like the Hunger Games in different situations. But both of these stories came way before the Hunger Games, being movies that came out decades before those books would ever see the light of day. So it is interesting to see how much the Hunger Games actually stole from Stephen King concepts and Stephen King stories. I just feel like the Hunger Games has done those the best. And that has been the best representation of people fighting in games and competing in games in order to win big prizes. But I could not help thinking while watching the Running man, why is Glenn Powell not in the mcu? Because he really flexed his athletic ability in the Running Man. Doing a lot of the stunts on his own. Obviously has the physical attributes that you need for a role in the mcu. In this movie, you get a full Glen Powell butt and you see him running around in basically nothing. Has one of the strongest jawlines in Hollywood right now. And just by looking at that jawline, I thought, man, Glenn Powell would look fantastic as Cyclops. Can we cast him in the post Secret wars upcoming X Men movie? And I want a comic book accurate Cyclops suit. I'm talking the full bright blue and yellow with the belt, the full thing. I could just see his face in that suit. To me, my X Men. I would die for Glenn Powell in an X Men movie as Cyclops. And then also give me the solo Cyclops movie. I think we've been deserving now for over 20 years. I'm sorry, James Marsden, I know you're coming back in the new Avengers movies, but I think we need a new Cyclops and it could quite possibly be Glenn Powell. And maybe he's taken the Leonardo advice of not doing superhero movies, even though he has been in one already had a small role in it, and I could see why an actor of his caliber would not want to be typecast into one of those roles. Say he does become a Cyclops and suddenly that is what people associate him for. It's going to be harder for him to step outside of roles that aren't in the MCU world, which I think is something that actors like Chris Hemsworth, even Chris Evans are struggling with a bit right now. So he is expanding his filmography right now to not be typecast in any way. But man, that was a thing I could not help but seeing while watching this movie. In the end, this movie had all the ingredients to make a really great product, but something just fell flat in there. I haven't fully loved an Edgar Wright movie since Baby Driver, and maybe I'm just hoping for something with that level of intensity and his style. For the Running Man, I give it 3.5 out of 5 jumpsuits Kraken is.

Will the Michael Jackson biopic be the first ever biopic to make a billion dollars at the box office? That is the question I have. Oppenheimer and Bohemian Rhapsody both got close. Those are the two highest grossing biopics. Oppenheimer made $912 million worldwide. Bohemian Rhapsody held the record before that made $910 million worldwide. I think if somebody is going to do is going to be Michael Jackson because not only he is one of the most famous, not just musicians but people in the world who ever walked this earth. And the trailer alone is shattering records. Over 116 million views in the first 24 hours. So it's not just the United States. This is a worldwide demand for a movie and this film is going to cover it all. From him as a kid in the Jackson 5 all the way leading up to his death in 2009. It's coming out next year on April 24, 2026. And even though they haven't announced it yet, there is speculation it is going to be split into two movies because 3.5 hours is a girthy runtime. My question also going into this is how much are they going to get into the allegations, all the controversies, because I often say, if you're gonna make a biopic about somebody, one make them after they've passed, because then you get the whole story. But also you need that grit, you need the dirt in order to really humanize them. Paint them in a way that shows all aspects of their lives so you get the full scope of the person. You're not just making this glamorous piece where nothing went wrong and everything is beautiful. Before I get into more, here is just a little bit of the Michael trailer.

Feet still, my man. So the trailer opens with Michael Jackson in the studio with Quincy Jones. That is who you hear in that clip. Michael Jackson is being played by his nephew, Jafar Jackson. And I think that is what everybody is so excited about. The fact that not only does he looked like Michael Jackson, but he also sounds like Michael Jackson in his speaking voice. There are moments in this trailer where you think it's him and it looks really good. As close as you can get by getting somebody who was related to him. I also think the fact that we have a well established director behind the camera is going to make this feel like a real story worth telling. All the little intricacies of his career because we're seeing things like this, him in the studio bringing these iconic songs to life. In the trailer you see on the board in the recording studio, all the titles to these different songs. Some you would recognize, others you wouldn't because they are deep album cuts or some of them never even saw the light of day. It is coming to us from director Anton Fuqua, who has also directed movies like Training Day, the Equalizer franchise, the Magnificent Seven shooter and Southpaw. So his filmography includes a lot of gritty action movies, but the guy knows storytelling and I think that is a perfect person to bring this huge story to life because you have so much to cover and it is such a long runtime as it is right now. And you know me, I hate it when movies get split into two. I honestly think that you got to make the decision to just make this movie shorter. And I know it's a lot to cover, but splitting up a biopic into two movies just goes against everything that I believe in. Obviously the hardest thing to do is take an entire person's life and put it into two hours. Two hours is even hard. Make that two and a half. Make it three hours. That is still hard to do. But I think you could do it in three hours. And I think that is the longest runtime we are willing to go to a movie theater for a movie like this. Unless it's like an end game. I mean, the longest I've spent in a movie theater was for the Brutalist, which was three and a half hours long with an intermission. I almost think if you're gonna make it that long, you gotta throw in that intermission. It really makes a big difference. You get time to go back out into the lobby, stretch your legs a little bit. If you do it at about that an hour and 45 minute mark, then you leave and come back, you feel refreshed, you're ready to go. Because I can't imagine his story being split into two movies. It just feels incomplete to me. I don't like it because when I think about all my favorite biopics, it's all one movie. Walk the Line, La Bamba, Selena, they're all one movie. Rey also all one movie. If you're gonna split it up so much, why not just make it a TV series and not put it out in the theaters and then just go that way? If you're going to make a biopic, you have to be able to get the job done in three hours. And I know there were some reasons why this movie has been delayed. And I think they are going to address some of the controversy, some of the allegations. And one of the reasons for the delay is they had to address some legal issues involving somebody who had accused Michael Jackson of something in the film and the way that their story was dramatized. For the story, the estate had to agree on a settlement with this person. So that leads me to believe that that is going to be included in the film. And I think you can't make a movie about Michael Jackson without including that because that is a part of the story that impacts his career. Especially when you start getting into the later half of his career, which this is going to cover. Because it's going all the way from him being a kid to when he died in 2009, which he died on my birthday in 2009. I remember sitting on my brother's bed in our house watching TV when the news came up because he also died the same day as Farrah Fawcett. And that was a really weird birthday for me because I turned 18 years old. But it really didn't feel special in any way. And I was about to leave from Waxahachie to move to Austin and that is the only memory I have of that birthday. I didn't do anything fun. I might have even spent that birthday alone. And now every time my birthday comes up, I'm just reminded that Michael Jackson died on my birthday. I know a lot of people probably remember the time and place where they were when they heard about Michael Jackson passing. I remember it even more because it happened on my birthday. Seeing some of these iconic moments that they are featuring. Like the first time he ever did the moonwalk, his big show at Dodgers Stadium, and seeing the scope of how crazy his life was and how glamorized it is so far in the trailer to this movie. I don't think I realized that when he died, how worldwide famous he was. But I think in my lifetime growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, where my brain really formed, I didn't really see his explosion. I saw his impact in his legacy, but I didn't see the craze that we are going to get to see in this movie. And I think another reason why this movie is going to make a billion dollars is because how relevant his music still is today, where just the release of this trailer has sparked his streaming numbers and he is still one of the highest earning dead celebrities. I think the demand is swelling so much around this movie that it's going to actually get people out into the theater on opening weekend to go see it. But if they end up splitting it up into two movies, I mean they would also do that because it would still make, if not more money, as much money as part one. So could also be a great financial decision. But how many biopics can we take? Who is left? I feel like everybody has a biopic at this point. The only other person I would really want to see a music biopic from is Kurt Cobain. I'm talking a full on biopic where it gets the same treatment as this Michael Jackson movie because this could be the music biopic we have been waiting for. Could it be enough to earn Jafar Jackson a best actor nomination? Much like Rami Malek got for playing Freddie Mercury that he went on to win? It depends how far this movie is going to go. But again, Michael Moon walks into theaters next year on April 24th and that.

And that is going to do it for another episode here of the podcast. But before I go, I got to give my listeners shout out of the week this week. I'm going over to Facebook. I know the place where you don't want to go because it's mostly people spewing hate. But every now and then I'll post a reel over there and go look at the comments. And I'm always like, oh my gosh, what are people going to say? And this is a negative comment today. But I hadn't seen anybody not like Predator Badlands and if I wanted a conflicting opinion, I knew going over to Facebook would not disappoint. Listener shout out of the week goes to Law Gault, which I don't think is their real name. If you click into their profile, they just have a Watchmen logo as their profile picture. And this guy wrote basically an essay on what was wrong with this movie. So I will only read you the opening paragraph because this thing went deep, but we'll talk about it, law wrote. All right. I don't even know where to start with Predator Badlands. This movie is an absolute train wreck. A soft, shiny PG rated disaster that feels like it was made by people who have never seen an actual Predator movie. It is so sanitized and childish that I half expected Mickey Mouse to stroll out from behind a tree and and offer Predator a friendship bracelet. And there are three more paragraphs of Law. Just ripping this movie to shreds was an interesting thing. That this movie is from 20th Century Studios that was acquired and bought by Disney. I don't really feel like that has had much of an impact of sanitizing any franchises. They are now making R rated horror movies over at 20th Century Studios that when you look at who owns them it's like, oh, Disney is now in the business of making R rated horror movies. We've even had nudity in those movies. Violence, blood, everything that you would expect. And I don't think that it's really being impacted by having the Mickey Mouse hand over it. And I even said that I have not been the biggest fan of the Predator movies. I remember watching the original with Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the day on like a random Saturday. That is the type of movie I associate with the mid afternoon matinee that would just come on tv. And my uncles loved any type of movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger running around killing things. And I could see if you grew up in that era and those are the movies of your childhood why you would hate anything new. But I don't have that association with those movies. I am a later adopter. Like I said, it wasn't until earlier this year with the animated movie and now with this movie that I'm more invested in the character. And I kind of want to go back now and rewatch some of those movies, maybe even a couple of Those, probably around 4 or 5 and 6 that I haven't seen yet. But I think with any kind of franchise that has lived as long as this franchise has, with seven films over several different decades, you're going to have those people like Law here who just don't like it because it is new and it doesn't remind you of what you grew up with. Same thing when a new Star wars movie comes out, you have people just like this hating on it. Now, I still think it was a highly entertaining movie, but I also can see why my expectations weren't let down. They were actually so low that I enjoyed it so much more because I wasn't going into it expecting anything and ended up having a really good time. But it would be like now if somebody was going back and remaking, I don't know, Max Keebler's Big Move, one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I would have much different thoughts about it if they were to reboot that right now, which they should reboot that movie for no other reason than I'm the only one who apparently watched that movie as a kid. But Law, I appreciate you standing up for your beliefs. And I have to say, if you don't like what Disney is doing, the easiest way to show and protest that is to cancel your Disney plus, cancel your Hulu, which is gonna go away anyway. That is the way to make your voice heard. But I appreciate that comment. You are this week's listener shout out of the week. Thank you to all for listening, making me a part of your Monday if you listen on release day or on the weekend if you listen over on the Bobby Bone show feed. Wherever you listen, I appreciate you so much. So much. And until next time, go out and watch good movies and I will talk to you later.

Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
