Subtitles section

So, box office top ten in a second.

So, big streamer this week.

Oh, I'm just popping out for a big stream.

Have you streamed recently?

No, but now you mentioned it.

I down streamed it.

Certainly better than being up streamed, anyway.

Extraction two is what we're talking about.

That's also bad.

I'm just offering...

Aurora says, I've just finished Extraction Two.

I think it's not as good as the first one.

The plot was a mess.

The plot is a mess.

The dialogue actually says the dialogues were especially bad.

I guess they were written by the same AI that Netflix always use and pretend that it was written by Joe Rosso.

Gary Sheehan, Extraction Two is an irredeemably soulless experience.

I remember being told that video piracy could harm future film production.

Where do I sign?

Anyway, once you say, is that it?

So we just got two negative emails on extraction to yes.

Well, my colleague, Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian gave it one star and told called it soulless.

In fact, I didn't think it was I thought the action sequences were terrific.

There were three really good action sequences in it.

I intend to have an extraction this week, I think.

And I've had one, so I can now have a second.

Because you are an extraction fan.

That's right.

Which was funny.

Number thirty is inland.

This is in the charts now.

Yes, in the charts, in the top thirty.

I liked Inland.

I mean, it's a very, it's a micro budget production.

It's got a terrific soundtrack.

Mark Rylance had the script put through his door by the director, who at that point, if I'm right, was in his teens.

And Rylance read it and thought, this is worth getting on board with.

And I think we are going to see great things from the director in the future.

Number seventeen, Pretty Red Dress.

A pretty rare dress I like very much.

It's three central characters, guy just out of prison, his partner, their daughter, each of them have secrets that they're keeping from each other and it's a kind of transformative story about how they get this dress so that she can audition for a role as Tina Turner and how the dress has this transformative role.

I think it's, I thought it was really, really good.

Liked it very much.

Number ten, Super Mario Bros.

full stop movie, comma, the?

Looks like the last week of it in the charts, so that is eleven weeks that it's been in the charts, and it has taken a staggering amount of money, which for a film which is so ordinary is really remarkable.

It'll be back.

There'll be more.

Yeah.

Number nine is The Boogeyman.

Generic horror from a director who has done less generic work in the past, and I hope does less generic work in the future.

Number eight is Fast Ten Your Seatbelts.

Yeah.

I mean, I want it to be out of the charts now so that we can stop making that joke.

Yes, that's true, although repeating jokes has never kind of troubled us in the past.

Repetition is a form of comedy.

Also, the thing about Fast X is, I don't know if I can, can I say this?

If I can't say it, it'll get bleeped.

When you've seen Mission Impossible, the new one, Fast X looks a little bit shabby.

I know, it does.

And a little bit fake.

Yeah, we can't, we probably can't.

Can I say that?

Well, we can say that we've seen, we can't say anything else about it.

I mean, I haven't said anything.

No, you haven't, no, no.

Did I show you?

Although that bit where the thing happens.

Did I show you the last page of, sorry, just, you can keep this in, the last page of, because you and I saw, okay, we could be talking about anything now.

You and I went to see a film, and I sat next to you, and as I was, as, you know, we were doing the thing, I was making notes.

Yeah, you make notes, because you're a critic.

And I did, so there's pages and pages of notes.

That's the last page of my notes.

Okay, I can't read a single word apart from, because you're scribbling in the dark.

Blumeneck, I can spot.

You want to do something to your hat?

That's it, the last bit is just the sign off thing, but yes, I literally sat there writing expletives.

Because it's so extraordinary.

Because it was so extraordinary.

Anyway, where are we?

Oh yes, number seven, Guardians of the Galaxy, volume three, is it seven?

Which I like very much.

Adi Purush, the Hindi film, is it number six?

Yes, I haven't seen that because it wasn't press screen, but I can tell you it is an Indian mythological action film based on the Hindu epic Ramayana.

If anyone has seen it, please let us know.

Greatest Days, the Take That movie.

That's not a Take That movie.

But we're going to hear more about it in just a short while.

Yes, because Ashton Bee and Laura MacDonald are going to be with us shortly.

Transformers Rise of the Beasts is at number four.

Not as good as Bumblebee, but better than all the other ones.

Yes, Transformers Rise of the Beast, that's a number four.

It's also number four in the States, by the way.

Number three here, number five in the States is The Little Mermaid.

David Neumann says, Mark and Simon, I know I'm a bit late with this, but maybe just in time, with The Little Mermaid still in the top ten.

The original Little Mermaid is a film that is very dear to me, and I have never even seen it, in capital letters.

I think this is quite interesting, so films that are really important to you, but you haven't seen them.

Bear with me whilst I explain.

Some years ago, I remained at work whilst my wife took herself and the children away for a few days to Guernsey, where she grew up.

With a friend and her young ones, she took the children to see The Little Mermaid.

Child two became increasingly agitated as the film progressed, needing to sit on my wife's lap as the implications of the final act became clear.

She burst into tears and howled to the whole cinema,

But she'll never see her daddy ever again.

Given the emotional resonance of the film, it is probably about time I readied a hanky to mop up my tears and watch the whole thing.

As a fifty nine year old man, I am surely not part of Disney's target audience.

But if I had a small child to borrow, I would also be off to see the new version.

Tickety tonk, down with fascism, both historic and incipient.

David Neumann.

For use of the word incipient, which doesn't come up very often, thank you very much, I would like to know if there are...

if there's anyone else who had movies that were very important to them, but they've never seen.

Yes.

Well, kind of, weirdly enough, an example of that is Exorcist for you.

It's important to you because we've talked about it a lot, but you have never seen it, and I believe you will never see it.

Well, and I'm quite happy to see it, but I just think it's funnier if you haven't.

If I haven't, so you can still keep talking about it, and I still, I feel as though I have seen every scene.

Exactly.

Number two here, number three in the States, Spider Man, Across the Spider Verse.

Well, there's a fascinating thing in number two and number one, so do the number one, and then I'll do the, I'll do it together.

Do you have some emails?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay, fine.

Well, I will therefore reserve what I have to say about Spider Man Across The Spider Verse, which I liked very much, until we discuss number one.

So, you do it.

So, number one is The Flash, which we'll get to in just a second.

So, UK's two Spider Man Across The Spider Verse.

We've had lots of emails along these lines.

Okay.

Callum says, Dear Tobey Maguire, Spider Man and Spider Man twenty ninety nine.

After listening to last week's program, I just thought I'd throw my two cents regarding the listener from last week's very literal reading.

of the moral of the Spider Verse films being anyone can wear the mask.

Much like Ratatouille's moral of anyone can cook, which is later elaborated to mean not everyone can be great, but greatness can come from anywhere, I feel Spider Man follows a similar thread.

Not absolutely everyone can be Spider Man, but everyone is capable of bravery.

And even if these moments of bravery aren't spectacular or heroic, we're asked to be brave from time to time.

We're all asked to be brave from time to time.

In the larger sense of the phrase, we only need to look at the citizens of Ukraine or Russian newspapers defying Putin.

In the smaller sense, we probably have a moment where we almost talked ourselves out of doing

that thing, applying for a dream job or asking that hunk out, whatever.

Very literal readings of morals in films that are essentially parables and fairy tales, I find troubling.

I felt that society has become increasingly cynical, and when these morals are read very literally and scrap all the nuances that those morals intend, out in the world right now, a young fan of the Spider Verse may be inspired to act in a way that's brave, and how can anyone say that's bad?

To conclude,

I'll leave a quote from Stan Lee that was included after the end credits from the Spider Verse film.

Quote,

Okay, I agree, one hundred percent.

Okay, number one here and number one in the States is The Flash.

Lots of correspondence on this, we'll put some more in later on, but for the moment.

Darren Leesley in Dublin.

As the summer heat broke on Friday night to persistent rain scuppering my walk, I decided to go to the cinema and for want of paucity of choice settled on The Flash.

I hadn't seen a DC related movie since The Dark Knight, and good grief, that's now fifteen years and a whole Marvel Cinematic Universe ago.

Yikes.

And it's the influence of the MCU that coloured my response to The Flash, and the middle hour or so, well, I quite enjoyed the two Barrys coming to terms with and without powers and each other, Michael Keaton seemingly having an absolute ball as Batman again, and genuinely exciting action sequences.

Unfortunately, this came sandwiched between two bouts of CGI set pieces that, like many a Marvel film before, completely disengaged my interest.

I was genuinely bored in the opening scenes, poorly rendered, babies and all.

That Ben Affleck instance of Batman was literally thrown from pillar to post in defiance of even the most comic book of physics tested my patience to near breaking point.

I was close to actually walking out.

That boredom returned at the climax where I began to care less and less what happened.

The visuals were more like a demo reel for the FX houses than any attempt at storytelling.

I've seen other films that have more coherently relayed the notion of a multiverse far more wittily, trusting the viewer to follow what's going on.

The flash's psychedelic cat's cradle gone haywire was just silly.

In short, not completely a flash in the pan, but neither wholly flashy," says Darren.

So, I understand that completely.

So I think the interesting thing is that you have at one and two, two films which are doing multiverse stuff.

And one of them, which is Spider Man Across the Spider Verse, is doing it in a really exciting, interesting way and is, you know, is inspiring that email that we just had, which I know is in response to the thing about

And then you have The Flash, which, you know, there are things in it that are all right, and there are things in it that are all over the place.

Some of the special effects in it are unbelievably shonky, which is really surprising for a movie that cost that much money.

And I think when they are right next door to each other in the chart like this, you go,

Okay, one of those is doing something interesting and has a heart and soul, and the other one isn't and doesn't.

And I think having them right next to each other, that comparison is made, you know, just all the more pronounced.

When you said the thing last week, which was in response to, there was an emailer who said, you know, that these messages about anyone can be anything, that was what provoked that conversation.

The point about the Spider Man Across the Spider Verse thing is that although it is flitting through multiverses at a rate of knots, it's doing it because it's using animation and it's understanding that that's what animation can do.

It's doing it in a way which is completely visually involving, but it always has a heart.

It always has at its central thing this message.

Whatever you think about the message, it has that message.

The Flash

doesn't.

The Flash has some interesting little bits.

Michael Keaton as the bedraggled Batman is interesting.

There are moments of Ezra Miller.

I don't get the Ezra Miller magic thing because I don't particularly see it, but the film is kind of empty.

And I think that the comparison between, you know, one of them is full of ideas and the other is full of stuff is pretty clear.

We'll do some more correspondence on Flash later on, and Aisling B and Lara McDonald will talk about their new movie, Greatest Days, in just a moment.

Thanks very much for watching this video.

I hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

While you're here, check out all the other videos because they're cool too, aren't they?

Yeah, and if you want to keep up to date with everything Kermode and Mayo's take, then check out our social channels.

I mean, why wouldn't you?

I mean, I would.

I have done.

Excellent.
