1:37

thank you to prepper for any

1:39

now these highlights uh sincerely prepper

1:42

you guys have been absolutely Annihilating

1:44

it lately in terms of editing

1:46

and was some nerd chronic who's been

1:48

working with us Helping out on

1:51

like the second round of editing these

1:53

go through a lot of rounds

1:55

of editing and the editors are often

1:57

unsung heroes of YouTube and it's Really

2:00

easy to say a quick. Thank

2:02

you, but genuinely the so

2:05

much credit for where we're at with

2:07

the channel goes to prepper and

2:09

anyone else who helps in post -production

2:11

here. So thank you. We

2:13

watch Fantastic Beasts of Crimes with Grindelwald. And

2:17

before I go into

2:19

what are your quick

2:21

thoughts, Tara, your quick,

2:23

honest assessment about this experience. Okay.

2:27

Quick, honest, I didn't

2:29

really get attached to

2:31

any one character like

2:33

I think I should have.

2:35

It didn't bring up a lot

2:37

of emotion which I like and

2:39

I will always say that I'm

2:41

always looking for the heart in

2:43

a movie. I think they try

2:45

to maybe throw that in there

2:47

somewhere with like the brother stuff

2:49

and then the little strange stuff

2:51

but it never really hit home. I

2:54

was very specifically excited about use

2:56

this card for a cup of

2:58

tea and I thought it would

3:00

be a very cool callback and

3:02

it wasn't. Unless it's a guy

3:04

I didn't recognize. Um,

3:07

I thought Johnny Depp was great.

3:09

Um, but I honestly, the

3:11

best scene in the movie, I'll

3:13

go back to what I

3:15

said about the first movie was

3:17

between Newt and Tina, where that's

3:19

just them together and they're talking. He's

3:21

trying to tell her I'm not engaged. Yada,

3:23

yada. They have a chemistry. I, that

3:26

was like the one little bit of heart

3:28

that we got. The rest of it

3:30

was like, what in the. Why

3:32

do we have all of these plots?

3:34

And I am just taking it back.

3:36

The last thing I'll say is that

3:38

there was a room of producers that

3:40

watched this prior to it going to

3:42

the public and all went, yep, we're

3:44

good to go. No,

3:48

no, no. Listen, I

3:51

say, give us information. It doesn't, we

3:53

don't need a lot of exposition. This,

3:56

they were giving us, but it was like

3:58

so much where I'm like, why do we

4:00

have 13 Different plots

4:02

in this. I

4:04

don't I That's

4:06

it. That's my quick whatever thing

4:08

right there Yeah, the the convergence

4:10

of where it all led to

4:12

especially when it comes to like lead

4:15

of the strange that whole storyline

4:17

I didn't I really don't

4:19

feel like this movie needed it. I

4:21

don't I don't think this I

4:23

don't think anything about like there's a

4:25

whole the strange backstory and So

4:27

some fun facts of things that are

4:29

poking into my brain is

4:32

that I think the

4:34

original there's only three of these

4:36

movies and the original plan was to

4:38

have like four or five and I

4:40

think after this one

4:42

the Risk because the reception wasn't

4:44

going super strong that they decided

4:46

to conclude it in the

4:49

next one Another fun fact for

4:51

you is that So the

4:53

the parts in the Johnny Depp

4:55

real life thing was I don't

4:57

remember the specific things there was

4:59

the thing in the sun which

5:01

was a trial in the UK

5:03

when he was first contending what he

5:05

was being labeled as in the

5:07

paper there. He lost that one

5:09

or something and then he got

5:11

fired so he doesn't return to

5:13

the next one. He still

5:16

got paid like ten million dollars. Okay.

5:18

But then they were like, we can, but he's

5:20

recast. Yeah. So it was a big up or

5:22

he was recast. So he's not in the third

5:24

one, which is a bummer. So she watches the

5:26

best part. Yeah. And especially now, cause

5:28

he's been totally vindicated. Yeah. Cause

5:30

then then the U S trial that everyone

5:32

is fully aware about. Yeah. And then

5:34

he was found not guilty there. Um, Then

5:38

uh, so yeah, so like part of my

5:40

brain is going, okay, like I don't remember.

5:42

I don't think the list, right? I was like,

5:45

is this, this was the original plan for

5:47

the strange thing to like factor in that they

5:49

want to like factor more to like Voldemort,

5:51

eventually, like really tie it all together. Uh,

5:53

because yeah, like with Nagini, I'm like,

5:55

Oh, that's kind of a confusing step because

5:57

Nagini is on the other side. on

5:59

the other side. And like Tom Riddle, Voldemort

6:01

does go to Hogwarts and maybe that's when

6:03

they become friends or some shit. I

6:06

don't know. I don't

6:08

know. But I will say

6:10

this. I remembered loathing this

6:13

movie when I saw it in

6:15

2018. I really, really hated it.

6:18

You know, seven years ago, I was a

6:20

different guy. And, you know,

6:22

I received things differently. And I think it like

6:24

popped into my brain when there was one moment

6:26

that was in 3D that went, oh,

6:28

I think I saw this in 3D

6:30

too. And I really didn't like. 3D

6:32

when it was like a thing that

6:34

theaters were doing. Yeah. I

6:37

actually prefer this one

6:39

over the first one. Kind of

6:41

quite a bit. I

6:43

think that the first

6:46

45 minutes to an

6:48

hour is pretty solid. That

6:50

that part beats out

6:52

the first movie, I think

6:54

for sure. Yeah. And

6:56

I like the finale of

6:58

this overall when when

7:00

Grindelwald makes his

7:02

speech and you see the power

7:05

of his speech. Yeah. And

7:07

then you're like, okay, I get how he

7:09

has the followers and the way he manipulates. It

7:11

was really clever. And you believe is a

7:13

man of convictions. Whereas

7:16

like Voldemort is very You

7:18

know who I'm fucking evil This

7:20

guy actually seems like human we

7:22

bought into it and you believe

7:24

there's something that feels like Compassionate

7:26

for the purebloods in a way

7:28

and that but praise on their

7:30

anger and fears if you're mongers

7:33

and stuff but then to Illustrate

7:35

it back to the whole world war

7:37

two incoming developments of the hydrogen bomb

7:39

things as audience members You know or

7:41

things that really happen There's this

7:43

part in the human brain that goes off

7:45

of going, well, maybe pure bullets would have

7:47

been such a bad idea considering what we

7:49

do to the world. You know, like praise.

7:52

There's a whole giant conversation. Of course not.

7:54

Of course not. It's not the right call,

7:56

but I, you see it when you pray

7:58

on the, on the emotion and the mediacy

8:00

of how people could be convinced,

8:02

right? Especially if there's a

8:04

opportunity to convince people that we

8:06

can prevent this from happening.

8:09

Right. So there's a lot of

8:11

cleverness there. I prefer the way this

8:13

one is shot. I prefer the tone of

8:15

this one. I think the pace is

8:17

a little more confident because in that first

8:19

hour, like that opening scene is brilliant. Oh,

8:22

it's so good. It shows you a

8:24

great visual. It feels very Harry Potter.

8:26

It feels different. And it's a prison

8:28

break scene in the Wizarding World style.

8:30

And it also shows you the

8:33

the the savviness and the

8:35

strategy of Grindelwald at

8:37

the very top. Um,

8:40

even the setup with Queenie and

8:42

Kowalski, like there's some conveniences that

8:44

they do like credence. He's back.

8:46

Okay. Don't really explain it. He's

8:48

back. Sure. He's back. Don't really

8:50

make a moment. I didn't kill

8:52

him. Kowalski is back. You know,

8:54

don't really do much with it.

8:56

Um, but it's weird. Like the

8:58

last half of this gets so

9:00

convoluted with a boat, so many

9:02

different plots and you're cutting around.

9:04

You don't really give a shit

9:06

about a lot of this stuff. That

9:09

it undermines the stuff that we

9:11

were caring about like I

9:13

seen Newt and Kowalski back together

9:15

on the adventure and they're

9:18

gonna go to their women that

9:20

they really care about I

9:22

was endeared to that Dumbledore convincing

9:24

Newt to go on the

9:26

mission for great. It was great

9:28

because like Newt has his

9:30

own and Newt was already trying to

9:32

be tricked by the ministry to

9:34

go do it But that was very

9:37

much like kill credence Whereas

9:39

Dumbledore gave him the same mission but

9:41

with a different why behind that goal and

9:43

that motivated him in a way that

9:45

I really bought into yeah, that was a

9:47

smart little switch smart switch The the

9:50

environments and the individuals are really

9:52

cool. I like the whole like

9:54

echo sequence when you know, Newt

9:56

is unpacking like what went down at

9:58

the circus. The introduction of Nagini, like

10:00

I thought there was like a cool

10:02

little theme that they were developing there

10:04

of like these misunderstood mutants or monsters

10:06

when, which I goes into

10:08

the whole fantastic beast quality of

10:10

how everyone views them as like beasts,

10:12

but really Newt sees the humanity

10:15

underneath them, you know? So there was

10:17

so many different things that were

10:19

actually working and you could see the

10:21

buildup like going somewhere. But

10:23

some things started just

10:25

going off the rails

10:27

in the last hour. It

10:30

does become like every kind of credence.

10:32

I don't really care about this now.

10:35

And it's strange. There's too much information. much

10:38

less strange in here that

10:40

I don't care about the strange.

10:42

But I only would care about

10:44

it if it tied into Harry

10:46

Potter in some way that fills

10:48

in something. Honestly, you know, that's

10:50

not there's no reason to care

10:52

about something, but that would be

10:54

the only reason I would because

10:56

what they were giving us was

10:59

not truly, you know, substantial enough to

11:01

make me care. I enjoyed the

11:03

backstory a little bit when Because

11:06

it's so messed up. Yeah, and it's

11:08

so twisted and cruel Absolutely, and

11:10

you know, there's like a bit of

11:12

like a colonizer of commentary and

11:14

all that there was there was things

11:16

there that I was like, okay

11:18

That's that's like compelling, but I don't

11:20

really feel like it ultimately amounts

11:23

to anything even with like what is

11:25

needed to do with you? And

11:27

I don't do the new jack shit.

11:29

She sacrifices herself for them We

11:31

don't feel anything. We don't we don't

11:33

want that's the thing is that

11:35

we don't, in that moment, you're

11:37

probably supposed to feel something. They

11:39

did not set that up in

11:41

any way, shape or form for

11:43

her being the sacrifice for her

11:45

boyfriend and being like, I

11:48

love you. Right? That's supposed

11:50

to be a moment where we probably

11:52

feel something. I didn't. I don't know. I

11:54

don't really know what the sacrifice bought them

11:56

other than like, I mean, maybe that

11:58

few seconds, I guess, amounted to a lot, but

12:01

it didn't really feel like. Mom

12:03

like a strong moment.

12:05

Yeah, I don't know. What do you think about Queenie? Queenie

12:09

was I think underutilized

12:11

I mean to

12:13

me When they were in the

12:15

when we saw the circus and

12:17

again and that stuff How intriguing

12:19

would that have been if we

12:21

just stayed with Queenie? And

12:23

her dude, I'm forgetting the names right

12:25

now, and then Newt. And

12:28

maybe we went to go

12:30

see Tina, but I'm like,

12:32

there was just so many

12:34

other plots added on top

12:36

that I thought we lost

12:38

a bit with Queenie, meaning

12:40

Queenie goes to the dark

12:42

side. And again, it

12:44

is not I should be at

12:46

this point. yelling at the screen

12:48

for her not to go. I

12:51

should be feeling like, what

12:53

is his name? Her boyfriend's name?

12:55

Kowalski. Thank you. I should

12:57

be feeling like Kowalski feels. We

12:59

should be feeling a sense

13:01

of like, no. No,

13:03

she cannot. That is what

13:05

movies are supposed to do, especially when

13:07

we're seeing Queenie and Kowalski. Can you imagine

13:10

how great I felt when at the

13:12

end of the first one when he smiles

13:14

at her? That was one of my

13:16

favorite moments. And I'm so happy that we

13:18

got them back. But we do not

13:20

spend enough time with Kowalski and

13:22

Queenie for us to

13:25

actually really care that much that

13:27

now again, they're separated and she's

13:29

going to to the dark side

13:31

because prior to that we spent

13:33

20 minutes talking about how the

13:35

strange is this and then you

13:37

switched your brother over and like

13:39

this guy never loved you like

13:42

it was it was just it

13:44

was a lot and we didn't I

13:46

feel like we should have

13:48

gotten to know more about

13:50

the characters we already knew. Why

13:53

are we adding her in here? I

13:55

would love to see more Dumbledore

13:57

and their relationship. Um, and

13:59

then obviously Grinwald, he was

14:01

great in this. Like what

14:03

a great presence that he

14:05

always brings to the table.

14:07

But I mean, we could have,

14:09

I mean, give us back the

14:11

40 minutes that we're spending

14:14

on this. relationship with Newt's brother's

14:16

girlfriend who's the strange and

14:18

spend it on the people that

14:20

we already know. Kowalski and

14:22

Queenie, people love that relationship. I

14:24

guarantee you, right? And then

14:26

Newton, Tina, all we

14:28

really got was that little

14:30

conversation and we get

14:33

interrupted before he's actually able

14:35

to tell Tina like, It's

14:37

you, it's always been you kind

14:39

of a thing. Yeah, I agree with

14:41

you're saying like give it substance

14:43

that really helps serve our main characters

14:45

instead of cutting around like a

14:47

bunch of different plot like that makes

14:49

us feel something in the end. The

14:51

brother story line I think could

14:53

have actually amounted to something great because

14:55

he's He's like the black

14:57

sheep brother. He's the one who's

15:00

misunderstood while his brother is like

15:02

the respected one and the one

15:04

who's like in the papers and

15:06

the cool one, right? And you know,

15:08

he has that line where he's like,

15:10

that was the greatest moment of my

15:12

life when when when Tina like knocks

15:14

him down and it's a fun line,

15:16

but I think we could have

15:19

gotten like some actual drama or

15:21

explored that dynamic a little bit

15:23

more and that would have been more

15:25

that then you're servicing our main

15:27

character new to your servicing him and

15:29

it was a rich part of

15:31

the development rather than some like side

15:33

story with stuff like credence is

15:35

so undercooked like you bring him back

15:37

and credence is is every single

15:40

line is when I am I want

15:42

to and we still don't

15:44

know he's a Dumbledore I'm

15:46

all right. But yeah, you're right.

15:48

You're right. It doesn't amount to anything

15:50

really, like, because it's so repetitive.

15:53

Yeah. And you don't really get much

15:55

from it, like explore the relationship

15:57

then with him and the guinea. It

15:59

becomes becomes at a certain point,

16:01

everything starts becoming like information overload

16:03

versus, you know, emotional character

16:05

development. You know, you actually show

16:07

up for a movie instead

16:09

of just watching like I'm watching

16:12

a textbook now watching just

16:14

information and. I think, though,

16:16

that Newt is great in this.

16:18

I think Freddie Redmayne. No, Eddie

16:20

Redmayne. Freddie? Eddie Redmayne? Eddie. I

16:22

think he's amazing in this. I

16:24

like how he's actually actively involved

16:27

and sort of caught between, you

16:29

know, like... Do

16:32

these things have like do as the

16:34

loses side of the plot a little

16:36

bit here But it does set him

16:38

up as that guy who's like gonna

16:40

have to like do the right thing

16:42

and be put in hard decisions But

16:44

watching him be actively Investigative versus like

16:46

the first movie which is my animals

16:48

are loose and then at the end

16:50

like oh, there's this thing with an

16:52

Obscurus, okay? Yeah, this is him right

16:54

off the bat actively involved in this

16:56

mission and you're seeing him use these

16:58

skills that other people don't really have

17:00

like with animals and these other things

17:02

that people take for granted or

17:04

brush off it's less than

17:06

and you're seeing how his brilliance

17:08

is working where he feels

17:10

almost Sherlock Holmes Eski and then

17:12

Kowalski is almost What

17:15

is Sherlock Holmes is funny? Sidekick Watson.

17:17

Yeah, Watson. I should know that. That's

17:19

my casting Watson and Sherlock and Watson.

17:21

And that's funny, you know, because

17:23

Jude Law played Watson in a Sherlock

17:25

Holmes movie. So that'd be fun

17:27

to react to because I don't remember those

17:29

at all. And I was baked out of

17:31

my mind when I saw the second one.

17:34

I guess I don't remember that one. I

17:36

haven't seen any of them. But oh, really?

17:38

Oh, my God, we've got some movies to

17:40

write down. Um, so yeah, there's, uh, I

17:42

really liked him a lot and like

17:44

Kowalski, again, the performance of that Queenie

17:46

was one where I liked the idea

17:49

of preying on someone's loneliness that

17:51

they did set up in the first

17:53

movie. But I don't know, I think

17:55

your decision at the end is like

17:57

so weird because like how does, how

17:59

does being with Grindelwald lead you to being

18:01

able to get the thing you want, which is

18:03

to be with. because

18:05

you're set up at the movie is

18:07

I can't be with the person I

18:09

love because of the laws and they frown

18:12

upon you know mixing bloodlines when you're

18:14

like you're running you're going to the pure

18:16

bloodline the people who want to like

18:18

who are who are literally you're like telling

18:20

people like muggles despite what

18:22

Grindelwald says, it is how they

18:24

are operating. Muggles are less than and

18:26

muggles should be stopped and controlled

18:28

and oppressed. So I

18:30

was just possibly helped serve what

18:32

you, what you were saying, you're

18:34

not able to get now. Right. I

18:36

feel like they were, they were

18:38

playing it as if she was

18:41

almost like enchanted by the idea

18:43

because the last words really took,

18:45

well, so that. Kowalski

18:47

says to her as he says wake

18:49

up you have to like wake up

18:51

to where it's like She's just she's

18:53

just wrapped up in it and doesn't

18:55

really know she's like I have to

18:58

go to him like it's like a

19:00

weird thing And then of course what

19:02

pushes her over the edge, which

19:04

I thought was a good callback is

19:06

you're crazy But again, I yeah, I

19:08

wanted to feel something more. I would

19:10

have liked to see her go back

19:13

and forth on This

19:15

would be the better choice for me.

19:17

Do you see what's going to happen

19:19

in the future if we let mudbloods

19:21

take over the world so I can't

19:23

choose my own happiness with you if

19:26

I'm going to go save the world,

19:28

right? I would have liked to see

19:30

that struggle, but we don't get any

19:32

of that. We just see her leave

19:34

Kowalski like that. Yeah. And that's not

19:36

to me what I wanted to see. Spring's

19:39

here, baseball's in full swing, and

19:41

if you're looking to make watching games even

19:43

more exciting, check out prize picks, our

19:45

go -to in the daily fantasy sports category.

19:47

The reason this household is so into prize

19:49

picks is because it's super easy to

19:51

use. You just pick more or less on

19:53

player -staff projections, like strikeouts, home runs, or

19:55

hits, baseball terms, for your chance to

19:58

win up to 1 ,000 times your entry. And

20:00

unlike a lot of other apps, you can mix

20:02

players from baseball and other sports, like basketball, hockey, and

20:04

even e -sports. My wife is the one that's especially

20:06

into fantasy sports, so we've been playing prize picks.

20:08

for a while now and we love how quick it

20:10

is to set up a lineup. This week we

20:12

grab Shohei Otani for more than one home run and

20:14

Julio Rodriguez for more than one stolen base. Let's

20:16

see if my gut and my gut and my wife's

20:19

gut is right. Another thing too they invented the

20:21

FlexPlay which lets you still cash out even if one

20:23

of your picks doesn't hit and to pay out

20:25

fast safe and secure. We've got an R's in under

20:27

15 minutes. So what you can do is download

20:29

the app today and use code REJECTS

20:31

to get $50 instantly after you

20:33

play your first $5 lineup.

20:36

Again that's code REJECTS $50 Instantly

20:38

after your first five dollar

20:40

lineup price picks run your game

20:42

people Yeah, yeah, they lose

20:44

I think they they got muddied

20:46

on the debate and the

20:49

conflict because then it just makes

20:51

it confusing at the end

20:53

because I can see one version

20:55

like To lose the nuance is

20:57

what I'm saying. Of course. There's

20:59

that side of her Like she says

21:01

I don't really interact with the muggles.

21:03

She kind of feels like she has to

21:05

hide who she is and is an

21:07

opportunity for her to be seen and for,

21:09

so I see that pull, but there's

21:11

also the side of, but the part

21:14

where it loses the nuance of the

21:16

argument is, but if you go

21:18

down this path, you definitely don't

21:20

get Kowalski then that wouldn't be permitted.

21:23

And so the

21:25

fact that she doesn't even like

21:27

address that. is bizarre to me

21:29

for her to be with him

21:31

and say, we can have what

21:33

we want. What do you mean?

21:35

No, you are crazy then because

21:37

that's not at all even with

21:39

Grindelwald's pitching. Right. And

21:42

also the thing is, is like

21:44

what what she is is seeing with

21:46

the Grindelwald aspect, her

21:48

character has always been

21:51

About love. She's like love. You know

21:53

how many times she said love

21:55

in the first movie? Yeah, that is

21:57

her like almost her driving force

21:59

and even though she is first

22:01

seen because she's like noticed with

22:03

these purebloods It's like she'll

22:05

never be seen as Kawalski sees

22:08

her and the way he

22:10

sees her is through love which

22:12

is Absolutely what her character

22:14

was written around. And I

22:16

don't like that Tina never seems to

22:18

be affected by anything that's happening

22:20

with Queenie. Tina's the sister, they set up

22:23

that they have strife. I know, but they

22:25

don't even, yeah, nothing happens. Nothing

22:27

happens. Yeah, not

22:29

even like a reaction from her.

22:31

Right. Anything of concern and the

22:33

slightest, yeah, they don't get any

22:36

of that. And such

22:38

an odd thing to leave out. Yeah,

22:40

I like do laws Dumbledore quite

22:42

a bit. I liked his

22:44

scenes in the flashbacks. There was

22:46

there was a lot. Again,

22:48

there's like a lot in there. So

22:50

in the summary of my personal experience

22:52

is like the close to the

22:54

first hour. It is pretty

22:57

solid and very engaging.

22:59

And then in the last

23:01

hour prior to Grindelwald

23:03

speech is it starts giving

23:05

a lot of attention to other

23:07

things I personally didn't really care

23:09

about and I think needed to be in

23:11

the movie so then it starts sacrificing the things

23:13

that you do care about that even when

23:15

you cut to the things you care about you

23:18

care less about them now yeah because you've

23:20

muddled it with 25 minutes of

23:22

a story we don't care about yeah

23:24

it takes up too much time

23:26

and then you start questioning stuff

23:28

and then they kind of drag

23:30

out some things like Newt's two

23:32

sentence explanation to Tina that she's

23:34

bent out of shape about because

23:36

they're manufacturing tension and conflict when

23:38

it really could have been a

23:40

couple of sentences. And,

23:43

uh, yeah, so it, it did,

23:45

uh, did it a service to itself

23:47

in the end, but the overall like

23:49

the music and the aesthetics and I enjoyed

23:51

the first hour so much. And I love

23:53

Grindelwald's speech at the end so much that I.

23:56

weirdly, and this is not the popular opinion.

23:58

I know out of the three, this is

24:00

the most disliked one. Oh really? Okay. Undoubtedly.

24:02

Yeah. It is the most disliked one. It

24:04

really put a stain on like the Harry

24:06

Potter franchise, I think as a whole. And, uh,

24:10

I, I actually, and I hated it the

24:12

first time I saw it. So this is,

24:14

I had no interest in watching this today.

24:16

Yeah. And, uh, the

24:18

beginning, they'll set us

24:20

up right. It was freaking awesome. Yeah.

24:24

The overall though, I think the percentages

24:26

of the things that I enjoyed

24:28

do outweigh my experience in a positive

24:30

way for the, compared to the

24:33

first one. And the first one's much

24:35

more beloved. But my personal feeling

24:37

that I, the last thing I expected

24:39

to be here today is same. Like I

24:41

actually prefer this over the first one. And yeah,

24:43

I would say I prefer this over the

24:45

first one. I would say that I really, really

24:47

liked the visual effects. I said that multiple

24:49

times in watching this. Everything looked.

24:51

really great. And obviously the acting is

24:53

still totally on point. They didn't

24:55

miss cast anyone. I even thought that,

24:57

you know, Newt as a kid

24:59

was a great casting choice. I didn't

25:01

think it was like overly distracting

25:03

of like, Oh, God, this, I thought

25:05

it was good. It was all

25:08

good choices. The one thing

25:10

that I would love if you guys

25:12

know in the comments is like, the

25:14

cup of tea old man who's

25:16

been around for 375 years.

25:18

Who is he? I should

25:20

know, right? I was excited

25:23

when Dumbledore, but why not?

25:25

Why are you going to have Dumbledore

25:27

say for a cup of tea? That

25:29

has been like, we're obviously, I'm like,

25:31

wait, we're, we're going to link that

25:33

to Harry Potter, right? And

25:35

then we don't unless this

25:37

freaking 375 year old man who

25:39

hasn't seen action in 200

25:42

years is link somehow I thought

25:44

that is a perfect that is of course

25:46

going to be a plot point right

25:48

we're just going to drop that in there

25:50

that's going to be an Easter egg

25:52

it wasn't I would love to know if it

25:54

was because we didn't read the books and

25:56

that's that guy from the books yeah because I

25:59

felt like it was set up to be

26:01

an Easter egg and I was like I

26:03

don't know who the f this guy

26:05

is so that's the only other thing besides

26:07

it all looking amazing I do worry

26:09

with your grin walls like The what he

26:11

brings to the table and especially in

26:13

blowing out the effects of like this with

26:15

the world's gonna look like and and

26:17

like the blue fire and and all of

26:19

that it all looked really great I

26:21

would say that my most favorite thing was

26:23

the horse bat looking things that take

26:26

off in the beginning where it's like Santa

26:28

Claus, but spooky season I I really really

26:30

enjoyed that and I I

26:32

Said that it reminded me of three,

26:34

but I don't think that was right. I

26:36

think maybe it reminded me of whatever

26:38

the darkest of the Harry Potter's one was

26:41

that we really liked this in the

26:43

beginning reminded me of that I liked the

26:45

the darkness that they brought and they

26:47

did bring it back at the end with

26:49

that whole restraining with that guy like

26:51

took her and I'm like gnarly, you know

26:53

That was gross But overall,

26:55

I do think it was a

26:57

little convoluted. I think we could

27:00

have cut out a bunch of

27:02

characters and just focused on our

27:04

on our main people. I mean,

27:06

you look at the three guys

27:08

on the poster and it's odd

27:10

that they threw in a bunch

27:12

of other people, meaning on the

27:14

poster, it has Newt Dumbledore and

27:16

Greenwald. Why do we have the strange

27:19

credence coming back?

27:22

Why do we visit credence like

27:24

the lady and then she dies?

27:26

Again, I believe we're supposed to

27:29

feel something when his caretaker dies.

27:31

We don't, we do a little

27:33

bit, but not really. There's a

27:35

lot of moments that I think

27:37

in this script, when you're writing

27:39

this kind of stuff down, you

27:41

don't want to write a

27:43

death from a very, which you're

27:45

trying to make a very important

27:47

character, not matter. And to

27:49

me, this script had a lot

27:51

of deaths that don't really

27:53

matter. It's not hitting heart, I

27:56

don't think, to a lot of people. And

27:58

that is how I felt when I first saw you. Yeah,

28:00

and how you have to

28:02

aim is you have to hit at heart,

28:04

otherwise don't have it in there. Get

28:06

rid of it. That's where I'm at.

28:09

All right. moment of truth. So

28:11

the first one was 74

28:13

% 79. Okay, let me guess

28:15

this one. I'm going to

28:17

guess that the critics gave

28:20

this one 62 and that

28:22

the audience gave

28:24

it a 69. Okay,

28:28

I'm going to guess I'm going

28:30

to guess 50 % on the critics. Yeah.

28:32

That's good. And I'll guess I gave

28:34

it a little hot. I guess 75

28:36

on the audience. Okay. Let's go. Let's

28:38

see. audiences was still like a

28:40

Harry Potter. Yeah. Yeah. One, two, three. Oh,

28:51

36 % for

28:54

critics 53 for

28:56

the audience we were both you

28:58

were close with the audience I

29:00

mean I was 36 %

29:02

yeah I'm 36 % I'm

29:04

terrible I am telling you these

29:06

producers got on the horn and

29:08

said I need we need these reviewers

29:12

right. It's a five star because otherwise

29:14

it might have been 15%. Yeah. Like

29:17

36 is the lowest I have seen

29:19

in a long time. mean, it's, I

29:21

said, like I said, like I put a stain on

29:23

the Harry Potter franchise. Um, yeah.

29:27

Wow. And I think

29:29

there's like a part two that

29:31

I remember like, especially when the Johnny, like

29:33

when Johnny Depp, I remember he like, there

29:35

was like a comic con thing and but

29:37

went to promote the movie. He came out as

29:40

Grindelwald and it was, anything Johnny Depp was

29:42

doing at the time was met with like

29:44

divisiveness, like right away. Of course. So I, and

29:46

even I said during watching it, like I

29:48

remembered watching it and I couldn't get past

29:50

the fact that I was, I was like aware

29:52

he was doing good, but I couldn't get

29:54

past the fact I was watching Johnny Depp because

29:56

of all the spotlight of the public and

29:58

shit like that. Right. Um. But

30:01

I don't know, I'm years later watching it

30:03

without any of that shit in my head.

30:05

I'm like, yeah, you're talking amazing. He

30:07

was awesome. It makes you want to watch

30:09

more Johnny Depp movies. I will say that

30:11

I did just watch Mission Impossible 3. We

30:13

looked up the rating and it was low. And

30:16

me and Ari were got real

30:18

upset. What was he doing? Tom

30:20

Cruise at that time, that was the spotlight

30:22

of like the hardcore Scientology shit, the jumping on

30:24

the couch that you got let go of

30:26

Paramount. Like, like that movie tainted the box office

30:28

because of the Tom Cruise. There

30:32

was a whole thing that's why Tompkins

30:34

had like get the dial

30:36

back his whole like Public life

30:39

right because it

30:41

was affecting, you know

30:43

reception and that's why

30:45

Tom Cruise suddenly is now a calm

30:47

ass dude and interviews because Because at that

30:49

time he was like intense and going

30:51

on that Lauer and saying I thought

30:53

everybody shouldn't be taking medicine, you know

30:55

who broke she was

30:57

on the museum of

30:59

Scientology it's wackadoo

31:02

wild so yeah, I know

31:04

there's Sometimes actors personal lives. I

31:06

do think affect the

31:08

movie because Mission Impossible 3 is

31:10

a great freaking film. One of my

31:12

favorites I've ever seen. And we

31:14

were absolutely stunned to see it like

31:16

in the 60s. I was like,

31:18

but right here, I kind of agree.

31:20

Like, it's not good. It's not a

31:22

great movie. And I went in

31:24

with the lowest of the low expectations because

31:26

I really was of this opinion that

31:28

I'm looking at right now. And I

31:30

think because I When

31:33

you have that expectation, you start noticing

31:35

some things that maybe shine a more positive

31:37

light suddenly because of that. Right.

31:39

But hey, these are just our

31:41

opinions. What are your opinions? We'd

31:44

love to know. Are you a

31:46

secret defender of this movie as well? Leave

31:48

your thoughts down below. Leave

31:50

a like. You can follow Tara on

31:52

her personal channel for all the shows.

31:54

Go pick yourself up. This cool

31:56

new tie. Alright

31:59

guys, we'll talk to you guys soon. Peace. Oh

32:03

my god, ever

32:05

pixel my bakery. You

32:07

know what would be the coolest

32:09

spell? If you were able to

32:12

turn people into pixelated versions of

32:14

themselves walking around like it would

32:16

be like pixels meets Harry Potter.

32:18

Hey, that's about as far

32:20

as it goes aesthetically. But

32:22

how cool would that be if we can

32:24

get pixelated versions of ourselves that we could

32:26

interact with? Pixelate the excitement of

32:28

it would last like 20 minutes, but it

32:30

would be a great 20 minutes before

32:33

it turns into a full -on panic when

32:35

you can't revert the spell back. Pixify. That

32:37

be incredible. That would be cool. And

32:39

then, you know, imagine if you could in

32:41

pixel form like jump into any screen.

32:43

or something. Oh, yeah, dude. Now we're talking

32:45

money, baby. Cause like those people in

32:47

the Harry Potter world, they're alive in like

32:49

photographs and paintings and stuff. Like if

32:51

you were a pixel person, you could

32:53

probably like traverse any screen

32:55

possible, which would be

32:58

super wicked. Super wicked, barely

33:00

any convenience. Everett,
