00:01:53.260and the thin man movies when were these made i'm gonna look these up oh if somebody could hold it
00:01:58.4201934 that's how far back we're going here guys 1934 the premise of this series and there's i think
00:02:05.260there's six or seven in this series um william powell is a retired detective because he marries
00:02:11.600rich he marries myrna loy and he doesn't want to work anymore because she's rich so he's going to
00:02:16.880take it easy but every episode the police or somebody ask him to get involved and solve a
00:02:21.920crime, and they are hilarious. Myrta Loy is amazing. It's like Agatha Christie with humor.
00:02:30.260That's what it is. They are absolutely amazing. I guarantee you pick them up or you watch them,
00:02:36.420you will not regret it at all. They're fantastic. Myrta Loy is actually one of my favorite actresses
00:02:43.660that not a lot of people talk about. Second movie I want to talk about, Spencer Tracy,
00:02:49.340katherine hepburn katherine hepburn is amazing i feel like a lot of people talk about audrey and i
00:02:54.660do love audrey not a lot of people talk about katherine this is a woman who wore pants in the
00:03:00.16030s and just told everybody to get over it because that's what she's going to do and this movie is no
00:03:04.800exception so spencer tracy and katherine hepburn in adam's rib cool title right so in this movie
00:03:12.200They're both lawyers, which is also cool because this movie takes place in 1949, so just post-World War II, and a lot of really cool movies, especially for women, came out just in that post-war era where women were doing everything, accomplishing everything, sort of making their stand in both film and any sort of career that they wanted to, you know, get started in right after World War II.
00:03:40.280And in this movie, Spencer Tracy is a prosecutor.
00:03:44.900Catherine Hepburn is a defense attorney.
00:03:47.400And what ends up happening, and there's some humor in this,0.81
00:03:50.040but what ends up happening is there's a domestic abuse situation.
00:03:53.240So the husband is hitting his wife, and she gets a gun,
00:03:56.240and she shoots off a section of his ear.
00:03:59.140Now, do they handle this with some comedy? Absolutely.
00:04:02.260So it's not as serious as obviously it should have been.
00:04:05.320But you have Spencer Tracy protecting the guy and saying,
00:04:09.400you know this is horrible and shouldn't have done it and you have a katherine hepburn in my opinion
00:04:15.400for the first time in movies and i'm you know maybe i i haven't watched them all but first1.00
00:04:21.220time in movies actually making an argument a legitimate argument for domestic wives being
00:04:29.000battered and domestic battered syndrome and and the fact that she shot him was in self-defense
00:04:34.220And again, they make it kind of comical with the whole, she just got him on the ear, but the argument is so incredibly true and applicable and they do it in such an incredible way. And you see this split in their household of, of, you know, the battle of the sexes a little bit of these different perspectives that a lot of people haven't talked about or, or brought to attention in a, in a significant way.
00:05:01.060so Adam's Rib you have to check that out now one of my favorites by far my grandma and I I think
00:05:07.200used to watch this all the time it's probably one of my favorites and I I don't it's not like I love
00:05:12.040all musicals but it has to be Audrey Hepburn Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady this has been done again
00:05:20.160and again Shakespearean right it's based on this Shakespeare play Pygmalion it's been done again
00:05:24.960and again and again but I absolutely love it now is it filled with a bunch of misogyny yes I don't
00:05:31.840think I can go back in time and have like the perfect movie but there is something about her
00:05:39.040something about the way the movie is obviously the singing and all of that is amazing um and and
00:05:46.300to sort of shape somebody into something that is presentable all the while the underlying message
00:05:53.780being you you can't change who somebody is into something better just by the way they speak so
00:05:59.900you've never seen it my fair lady now everybody's seen this one but nonetheless it needs to make the
00:06:06.200list and it has to be wizard of oz come on if you haven't seen the wizard of oz i don't know where
00:06:11.520you're living i don't even understand and there's so many applications of the wizard of oz outside
00:06:16.400of the singing and outside of that you know really famous tiktok where the guy is screaming at her
00:06:21.620about the witch um it's fantastic it's fantastic on many different levels you have all of these
00:06:29.160amazing characters coming together talking about this world they wished this world they wanted to
00:06:34.940be a part of and as they got to be a part of this world you realize that there's no amount of wishing
00:06:41.900there's no amount of make-believe there's no amount of fantasy that is really better than who
00:06:48.740you are, where you are. And that's the underlying, you know, surrounding all the mysticism and the
00:06:54.580witches and the magic and all of that kind of stuff. There's such incredible underlying
00:07:01.240messages in that movie that I think are absolutely timeless. Fifth movie from classics.
00:07:09.100You know what? Some people are going to disagree with this one. But let's just be aware,
00:07:13.680I grew up with a mom who loved Elvis, so I can't get around it. It's who I am, so take it easy on
00:07:23.240this one, but it's going to be Elvis, and it's going to be Kissing Cousins. Why this is my
00:07:28.700favorite, I don't know. I can't tell you why this is my favorite out of all of his movies. First of
00:07:33.900all, they're very cheesy. They're very campy. He didn't even love doing them. Kissing Cousins,
00:07:40.240though there was two elvises elvi and uh they're both cousins one has blonde hair the one has dark
00:07:47.140hair and they do the first split screen ever in the movies where you have one elvis on one side
00:07:52.880another elvis on another side and as one's singing they turn around so you can't see them at the both
00:07:57.900at the same time but look if you want can't be fun if you want to sing along with a movie and
00:08:04.900let's be honest, he is the king for a reason. Go check out Kissing Cousins. All right, now we're
00:08:11.240going to move into my kid zone. Now, I'm not going to go through all of the eight billion cartoons.
00:08:15.200It's too much. And I don't really own a lot of them, especially on DVD. But I'm going to go with
00:08:22.080like, just a little bit older. So not cartoon kid, but like, you know, the eight-year-old. What
00:08:28.660should the eight-year-old watch my first choice and will wheaton river phoenix cory feldman
00:08:35.580jerry o'connell keifer sutherland in stand by me now stand by me has some of the best lines
00:08:46.040ever like to this day when somebody says what's your favorite candy i instinctively say that's
00:08:53.220easy. Cherry flavored Pez. There are lines from that movie that have stuck with me forever. And
00:08:59.920the, you know, the fact that Stephen King wrote the original book and the fact that Richard Dreyfuss
00:09:05.120is the voiceover for the adult version looking back. The fact that even River Phoenix and the
00:09:11.880way he lives out this movie is so paralleled with his real life. The whole thing is amazing. If you
00:09:19.000haven't seen Stand By Me, again, don't know where you've been. You got to check that out. Number two,
00:09:27.140The NeverEnding Story. Now, to this day, I have tried to find replicas of the book, The NeverEnding
00:09:35.380Story. I want it leather bound, and I want that snake talisman insignia on the top of it. Like,
00:09:42.620I just want to own it. I've seen some on Etsy, but I've never really seen one, I think, that is just
00:09:47.300the exact replica of what goes on in that movie but here this movie and again there's you know
00:09:53.780lines from the movie that from when was this movie made i gotta say what the 80s yeah 1984
00:10:00.340there's lines from that movie like the rock eater such big strong hands i had such big
00:10:07.700and those lines stay with you forever as well but it's the themes right it's the idea that
00:10:14.660kids have power, kids have imagination, that kids really control. Fine. In the movie, it's this
00:10:21.540mythical world, but it's the power of kids to hold onto what they believe in past everything
00:10:29.260everybody is ever going to tell them, you know, and I've, I've built like a little bit of a brand
00:10:34.960on my podcast or on Tik TOK surrounding this whole comp, like this whole idea of unlearning.
00:10:39.520And I was saying the other day that I would love, like, the pinnacle would be getting on Sesame Street.
00:10:45.800Like, I swear, like, and I thought about it today, and I envisioned it today to be on Sesame Street to teach on learning.
00:10:51.180And then I thought, you don't need to teach on learning to those kids.
00:10:55.360You don't, that's the point of NeverEnding Story.
00:16:26.580And I picked Pretty Woman because A, it was her breakout role.
00:16:29.780I know Mystic Pizza for those of you at home.
00:16:31.760and and I understand some people again a lot of these movies are problematic in a lot of their
00:16:38.280themology and stuff like that you know there's the whole hooker thing I get it I get there's
00:16:44.040problems in the movie but she look she rescues him right back folks she rescues him right back0.71
00:16:49.360but that scene with the open necklace case and he shuts on her hand she laughs come on
00:16:55.940come on everybody loves that scene i don't care who you are next one a lot of people i don't know
00:17:03.400how many people have actually seen this movie i feel it's a little more obscure um but it is
00:17:08.040empire records and there's some very live tyler's in it you have the uh you know you have a very
00:17:15.740cool cast of a lot of different people um it's a independent record store that's going to get out
00:17:22.080bought out by a conglomerate and it's about these kids and the owner of the record store that sort0.95
00:17:26.440of take up a first of all amazing soundtrack but b it's just like that damn the man kind of movie
00:17:35.180do i think it's the first of his kind no but do i think it has a better soundtrack than the rest of0.77
00:17:39.800them absolutely next um this movie look i i had to throw in a gay one somewhere or another
00:17:49.140this movie is perhaps the funniest of all sort of satire surrounding coming out being gay and this
00:17:59.620one takes place at a straight camp so obviously conversion therapy not funny guys but this is a0.54
00:18:06.620satire based on that and it the the movie with Natasha Lyonne uh RuPaul come on absolutely
00:18:15.120amazing it is called but i'm a cheerleader oh my god i can't speak but i'm a cheerleader0.54
00:18:20.940hilarious movie again satirizes sending all of these gay kids to a camp which i always
00:18:28.700found kind of interesting you send a bunch of kids who barely can you know get a hold of their0.99
00:18:35.000identity in their small towns you send them all to live in the same space but it's hysterical
00:18:40.160because it really really talks about you know how we enforce gender roles and what the stereotypes
00:18:46.080are we make fun of all of the things along the way um in order to sort of you know get to the
00:18:52.860end of the movie which is all about self-identity and empowerment and all of those great things
00:18:57.360but it is funny and it shows again and again and again just how dominant we have like our society
00:19:07.320drives these things in and how it creates this structure that let's be honest nobody wants to
00:19:13.860fit into um one of my favorite now is this a comedy no but it's another musical i again i
00:19:22.280don't know anyone who's watched it who hasn't loved it that's got to be rent so rent obviously
00:19:28.720obviously if you can see it on broadway this is a distant second i get that we're in covid first
00:19:35.600of all nobody can go to broadway but second of all i think they did a great job of bringing that
00:19:41.280to the big screen that initial song 525 600 i can't listen to that song without being put in a
00:19:49.080good mood i can't it's an amazing story for those who don't know it's very much focused on the hiv
00:19:58.560and aids crisis in the early 90s when it just you know it was just affecting everybody and
00:20:05.340everybody was terrified and most people were you know not educated about what it was and how they
00:20:11.100handled it and then coupled with the economic crisis of the 90s and the way that we treat people
00:20:16.360again there's so much timely information in that that we are still working on today and we are
00:20:23.740still struggling with today my last comedy are you ready and you have to see this one if you
00:20:28.280haven't seen this one Alanis Morissette plays god that technically that is the biggest sell
00:20:34.200and it's the movie dogma so dogma kevin smith in my opinion his masterpiece now here's the
00:20:44.260unfortunate reality harvey weinstein still owns it so there kevin williamson or sorry kevin smith
00:20:52.880will not replicate it he will not give another dime to weinstein um so if you have a copy of
00:21:00.660dogma good luck hold on to it um but he won't he won't allow harvey to make any more money off of
00:21:07.980it and it's his it's one of those things that he wish he could just buy back so he could have it
00:21:13.140because it's such an amazing it it's it's a satire on religion but you guys have to you have to
00:21:20.120understand that um you know kevin williamson is i keep saying kevin williamson kevin smith kevin
00:21:27.880Smith is very religious himself. Like to the point he's Catholic, he gives 10% to the church.
00:21:33.580So he believes in faith. It's not that he doesn't have any, he just sees the hypocrisy in it. And
00:21:39.340he thinks if we can fix the hypocrisy, if we can challenge the hypocrisy, we can get at what's
00:21:44.880really the underpinnings of faith and religion. And he, and guys, he does it in such an incredibly
00:21:50.820hysterical way. All right. I'm going to move these over here. Guys, we have a lot of movies to get
00:21:56.480through i'm gonna try to go a bit faster because i know i don't want to run out of time drama
00:22:02.500section hands down jfk oliver stone oliver stone's jfk was incredible if you don't know anything
00:22:12.340about the jfk assassination i know that oliver stone wished he never actually made this movie
00:22:16.760in a lot of ways because it's garnered so much attention as a documentary it's not a documentary
00:22:22.680It just pulls things like the Zapruder film as a documentary, but I am telling you, watch it and then go look up the accuracies or the inaccuracies. It's astounding.
00:22:33.440um another amazing drama goodwill hunting matt damon robin williams an amazing story about
00:22:44.360genius about about what being intelligent and what being smart and what being damaged and all
00:22:50.940of those things really mean and how to work through all of that amazing movie uh this is a
00:22:56.380movie that i i show i have shown to my students but again i recommend and i bought for so many
00:23:01.540people made in the 90s movie called higher learning ice cube is one of my favorites in that
00:23:08.460one uh omar epps ice cube uh kirstie swanson it's basically sets place in columbus university and
00:23:16.260yes that is purposeful and it just attacks all levels of racism and bigotry and white supremacy
00:23:23.820and sexism and homophobia and, you know, rape culture.
00:23:29.240It attacks everything within this auspice.
00:23:50.820what dreams may come is actually takes place solely in the afterlife and i don't want to
00:23:57.020give anything away but the main sort of takeaway from what dreams may come is thought is real
00:24:04.140physical the illusion i'm not going to say anything else you're just going to go watch it
00:24:08.120and finally in the drama section i don't again i don't hear the people talking about this
00:24:12.380if these walls could talk now if these walls could talk is there's also a part two but part one
00:24:19.780is about abortion rights through the ages so it takes place in one house and it shows different
00:24:26.380women living in the house at different stages and all having to deal with abortion and their choice
00:24:33.120to have it or not to have it and the culture and the law and everything surrounding them at that
00:24:38.220time incredibly powerful the second one is actually about um uh being gay in that same house
00:24:45.880all right action is this action number one fight club0.83
00:24:52.320is it violent yes is it worth watching absolutely you're not your dockers that's all i'm gonna say
00:25:00.920go watch that number two the negotiator i've watched this movie so many times you got samuel
00:25:06.680jackson and kevin spacey one take it it's amazing i i can't i don't want to give any of it away
00:25:14.220um it's a simple but amazing action movie drama that everybody likes number three the usual
00:25:24.060suspects again kevin spacey i realize kevin spacey's having some stuff but you know what
00:25:29.820there's some good films here i don't know what to say the usual suspects nobody saw that ending
00:25:33.780coming if you haven't seen the usual suspects i want you to go watch it and i want you to comment
00:25:39.080below if you could have guessed that ending at all not a single person i knew could guess that
00:25:45.780ending uh geena davis is oh another samuel i have a theme here geena davis i love her so much um but
00:25:54.000this is her best action movie the long kiss good night again this was in the 90s little cia sleeper
00:26:01.660agent kind of movie she wakes up realizing what her life used to be and finally and only because1.00
00:26:08.960look this woman shaved her head in the middle of the like actually there was no wig there was one0.94
00:26:15.660take to get it done gi jane with demi moore yeah i think this came right after i don't know it was1.00
00:26:24.380right after before striptease which was maybe striptease came after but demi moore got ripped1.00
00:26:30.960And she like, she went all in. And the whole point of the movie is a woman being able to, um, a try to become, uh, one of the Marines. And I guess forever, I don't know what it is today, but forever women were excluded from even giving that as an option.
00:26:50.380um and it was just about how all the politics behind it as well as the physicality as well as
00:26:58.120the sexism as well as the danger of the military in general and all about what people can do and
00:27:04.860what they're how they're shaped and what they are allowed to even attempt and that's what that
00:27:12.140movie's all about all right action so i i picked like a series that i think everyone should watch
00:27:19.760and this series first of all is at school so i i couldn't have it i can't show you the box set but
00:27:24.940i can show you this look at that isn't that a great toy for those of you who can't see it or
00:27:30.500at home i'm holding up an aliens action figure a retro action figure the aliens well aliens part
00:27:38.940so there's alien aliens and then there's a few more movies after that but aliens is regarded as
00:27:43.960one of the best action sci-fi movies ever made. First female heroine in an action sci-fi movie
00:27:52.700ever. My cat is named after Lieutenant Ripley. Sigourney Weaver was amazing. And again,
00:28:00.380that idea, there's no letdown in any of those movies. Even number three, when she shaves her0.98
00:28:04.960head, she's in the penal cult. There's no letdown. Prometheus might've taken a bit of a turn,0.99
00:28:09.540but the original the original aliens movies are fantastic now you guys have all seen these but i
00:28:16.240had to add them i can't not add them you gotta have the avengers you you can't not you can't not
00:28:22.680agree that infinity war and endgame as a culminating movie you can't argue how amazing
00:28:31.440those were i'm sorry you just can't i'm gonna go a throwback here though everybody everybody
00:28:37.700needs to watch the original supermans christopher reeves i'm sorry you and you want to know
00:28:43.940something else this movie avengers doesn't happen if not for superman marvel writers and they have
00:28:51.520admitted to this they say every time they sit down to write a marvel movie every single time
00:28:57.720ant-man guardian it doesn't matter they refer to this the original superman with christopher
00:29:05.180Reeves as the perfect archetype movie for a superhero. So having said that, I know there's
00:29:12.760a lot of DC Marvel people out there, but if you love the Avengers, you got to go back and watch
00:29:18.280this. Do I have to hold up Star Wars? Of course, of course it's Star Wars, right? You can't look
00:29:27.480and I'm going to say this and I'm going to say this on national podcast, whatever this is.
00:29:56.900Having said that, George Lucas should stop directing
00:29:59.000because let's be honest, they all get better when he's not directing.
00:30:02.480That's why everybody's favorite is Empire.
00:30:05.180except for my my wife to be her favorite is episode two i think it's called attack of the
00:30:10.980clones i don't even remember what happens in the episode but it's her favorite also i have to
00:30:17.340indiana jones the look and they're about to make another one i think the production got pulled but
00:30:23.400indiana jones is also the perfect the perfect action movie the and and not only is it the
00:30:30.820perfect action movie i think harrison ford might be the perfect action hero i don't i don't know
00:30:37.100if there's any better so i'm excited to see what will come next all right so that's it for my
00:30:42.400movies no it's not i lied oh my god i almost forgot horror and it's like too bad you didn't
00:30:50.220forget horror here it is so number one this is more of a suspense thriller but it's disgusting
00:30:57.660if you've ever seen it you know how it ends seven brad pitt morgan freeman just it's about the seven
00:31:05.760deadly sins their agents again kevin kevin spacey's in it that's insane another horror movie you have
00:31:13.020to watch if you haven't seen it hands down halloween i don't even make need to make an
00:31:17.740argument there john carpenter does things in this movie that everybody copies for the rest of
00:31:23.680eternity it's it scream a new one's coming out oh my god a new one's coming out next week
00:31:28.960scream scream makes fun of all of the things that people copied from that john carpenter movie
00:31:34.480forever and sort of tips them on their head and makes fun of them and brings them to light and
00:31:41.420really tries to blow them up so amazing also the scariest probably the scariest movie horror movie
00:31:48.560i think i've ever seen the hills have eyes is pretty awful but and human centipede is disgusting
00:31:54.440but nightmare on elm street west craven's nightmare on elm street first of all this bad guy wasn't0.94
00:32:01.920just a bad guy he was a child like he was a pedophile he killed children the worst the whole
00:32:08.300town gets together sets him on fire and then he comes back in their dreams come on now there's0.97
00:32:13.980nothing worse he would he was terrifying to look at there is nothing worse than that horror villain
00:32:19.900because really you start to feel bad a little bit for michael you don't quite understand why he was
00:32:25.340he born that way did he was he made that way stuff like that but when it comes to freddie
00:32:30.280also shout out friday the 13th i didn't put that in here which i should have i didn't put that in
00:32:38.060here but friday the 13th uh again is a very particular genre of horror movie that without
00:32:43.940those three starters nothing else happens from there uh this is a throwback i don't know how
00:32:51.780many people have actually seen this or ever heard of it but it is called the blob that's it it's
00:32:56.980just called the blob and the blob was made i want to see in 50 58 i was gonna say 59 1958 and here's
00:33:03.800the premise the block you know like in the gumball machines when you get gack that squishy stuff that
00:33:10.920you pull out you stretch and you drop it once on the ground and it's absolutely ruined because it
00:33:15.420picks up every single particle so in the movie the blob there's an alien i guess crater that
00:33:21.980launches its way to earth breaks open and out out pours this blob of it looks like gack and it
00:33:28.680slowly rolls and as it rolls it absorbs things and as it absorbs sticks and rocks and twigs
00:33:36.640because it lands in the woods it gets bigger and and you know one guy pokes at it a little bit with
00:33:42.920a stick and it climbs up the stick and eats his arm and gradually kills him and absorbs him and
00:33:47.560this whole I don't want to ruin the end because I really think you should go check it out
00:33:51.420but let me just say it gets big really really big and the brilliance of the blob and I wonder
00:33:58.620if and I've never really watched commentary on it but you know how like in every horror movie
00:34:04.440somebody's running really fast from the bad guy and the bad guy just walks and he always gets there
00:34:10.100because the person trips or cracks their face open on something or pass whatever happens and
00:34:16.580the bad guy catches up well it's kind of the same with this blob because it moves so slowly and it
00:34:24.480gradually just starts absorbing everything and i'm wondering if that's what a lot of horror movie
00:34:30.800because this is obviously 1958 i wonder if they drew on that to sort of talk about you know this
00:34:37.300this sort of slow momentum that you even if you wanted to you can't stop and then finally my
00:34:43.960favorite movie of all time which i left till the very end it is the best movie ever made made in
00:34:50.380the year of my birth. Jaws. Hands down. You can't, you can't say this is not the best movie ever
00:34:59.960made. The music, the character development, everything, the terrifying nature of what lies
00:35:07.240beneath. Everything about Jaws is perfect. You're going to need a bigger boat. That line can be
00:35:13.400applied to virtually anything anything um best movie hands down all right my last section is all
00:35:23.980going to be about tvs tv shows that you should watch tv shows that nobody should ever miss
00:35:32.140first and foremost well guys i have to it's the l word come i don't know if people remember when
00:35:40.280this came out. But when this came out, it mattered. Like it was huge. I realized it
00:35:45.680might not have, you know, hold up as well as I would have liked it to. It wasn't as inclusive
00:35:51.180as it should have been. Look, nothing's perfect. But holy crap, this was a huge, huge step for the
00:35:56.860gay community, for the, well, for the gay women's community. Just amazing. Yeah, check it out.0.99
00:36:05.100Look, there's so many, I don't even know, I don't even want to do these in the wrong order,
00:36:09.840the right order there's no wrong order for you guys to watch these in number one house look if
00:36:19.300you haven't seen house i can diagnose sarcoidosis right now test me eight seasons of pure genius
00:36:28.380house also for those who haven't seen it battlestar galactica battlestar galactica i think initially
00:36:35.980came out in the 70s and then this is the re this is the reboot of it so this reboot came out in the
00:36:41.3802000s at some point um Battlestar Galactica is this very sort of very cool representation of
00:36:51.920what happens when and again we've seen the theme time and time again man makes robots to do stuff
00:36:58.140they don't want to do robots become sentient they don't want to do it anymore war between the two
00:37:03.480man tries to enslave and oppress you got to understand how many incredibly perfect themes
00:37:08.700that represents already the robots and man go head to head man wins robots go away they get better
00:37:17.460they get smarter they come back and they start destroying and and and it's man's like shock and
00:37:25.580dismay how dare they come back how dare how dare they try to destroy us and it's this amazing
00:37:32.160representation of sure technology and what we rely on and how we rely on it but forget all of that
00:37:39.820it's also about how we undervalue life and how we the the people that are in power get to decide
00:37:47.480what who's living whose life has value whose life has power and and then when they realize
00:37:55.340that that group isn't going to be oppressed anymore how they take that back incredibly important
00:38:00.880i don't talk about this very often which um is unfortunate because i think it got canceled way
00:38:07.100too early and i think it was way ahead of its time newsroom and look this is pre-trump okay
00:38:14.820because this should have come out right around trump this is all about the sensationalization
00:38:20.380of news how it's been turned on its head how it's been turned into entertainment how nobody gets to
00:38:27.680see what the news really is because they're so busy competing for advertisers and money and to
00:38:33.020stay on the air and to keep your attention and tell you who Kim's dating next and who cheated
00:38:37.160on who and all of the stuff that really doesn't matter in our world takes a distant second. It
00:38:43.320also talks about the sensationalization of each political party and their issues so that we stop
00:38:49.860talking about what's right, what's wrong, what the facts are and instead we just watch two parties
00:38:55.320sort of use their networks to inflame their position and we all lose so if you haven't seen
00:39:01.380newsroom i think it got cut way too short i think there's only three seasons but absolutely amazing
00:39:08.380now if you want to watch something and and get a little you know medical training under your belt
00:39:13.100but also get the perfect level of drama it's got look this is one of the few things my wife and i
00:39:19.800agree on gray's anatomy do i think it's lost momentum possibly but do i think christina
00:39:27.680yang will be the perfect character forever absolutely and again my wife would say gray
00:39:33.620but nonetheless now if you can keep up with this show not everybody can keep up with the show
00:39:39.920it's hard there's a lot of dialogue there's a lot of witty witty banner there's a lot of
00:39:44.800retro throwbacks and pop culture references but the Gilmore Girls the Gilmore Girls is amazing
00:39:52.420absolutely amazing the only people that don't like the Gilmore Girls are people that can't
00:39:55.720keep up with the banter and I'm sticking to that next we have Veronica Mars Veronica Mars is she's
00:40:05.020a young detective solves crime whatever but again Kristen Bell is amazing you if you've never seen
00:40:12.480it Kristen Bell is amazing it is funny it is witty it is interesting it talks about classes
00:40:18.700it talks about again who has the power how they manipulate power but it's funny and it's good to
00:40:25.620watch entertainment through and through next we've got United States of Tara nobody ever talks about
00:40:32.660the show United States of Tara there it is probably one of the most underrated shows ever
00:40:41.240so so tony collette is the main character and she has multiple personalities or whatever the
00:40:49.120dissociative disorder whatever the name is i'm supposed to use here and she's been on medication
00:40:55.100forever to suppress them and the series which is three seasons is about her coming off for meds
00:41:02.360because she wants to figure out who each one of these personalities are why she has them and she
00:41:08.260wants to get back to the root of the trauma obviously there's trauma so it let's be honest
00:41:14.620it doesn't it doesn't go pretty places but i think it's she plays like seven different people
00:41:20.540it is fascinating she is married with kids and so they all kind of have to adapt when the shift
00:41:26.660happens um absolutely phenomenal if you've never seen it go watch it also again ahead of its time
00:41:35.000but absolutely amazing holly hunter in saving grace saving grace is it takes place after the
00:41:44.200oklahoma city bombings and she's a detective and she lost her sister in the bombings and
00:41:50.420holly hunter's character is a detective and she's very lost and she's very sort of she wants to
00:41:55.860take care of her family but you can tell like a lot of her personality is pretty much on the on
00:42:00.460edge all the time and in into her life walks a last chance angel now am i religious no but does
00:42:09.700this have this guy that walks into her life and basically wants to help her through what she needs
00:42:15.600to get through in order to see the world in order to heal those wounds all of it is absolutely
00:42:23.800amazing and at the underlying of all of it is sort of this ultimate battle between good and evil
00:42:29.840And not just, you know, religiously speaking, but I think within each individual person, she does it beautifully. It's an amazing show. And finally, the best of the best, guys. I can't, I could push all of this aside. If I could push all of this aside, I would.
00:42:48.200So you would watch all seven perfect seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
00:42:57.840Now, not only is this the perfect show, not only are there seven seasons of wit and dynamic character and metaphor and application to everything,
00:43:11.880I can teach a full course I can teach society a grade 12 course strictly from the different
00:43:18.260episodes of Buffy I swear it it goes into everything now as of lately obviously again
00:43:25.540apparently like all art it's faced some problems and this is why it won't get a reboot unfortunately
00:43:32.620or it won't get sort of a part two is because Josh Wheaton has his stuff going on I'm gonna put
00:43:38.400that aside because I can't control that what I can speak to is the way these characters were
00:43:44.420written the way it talks about women the way it talks about power the way it talks about it's not
00:43:51.980a typical superhero movie and the and that's the brilliance of it everybody's like oh you love
00:43:56.660Buffy you must love Sarah Michelle Gellar and I do I mean I think she's amazing but what made the
00:44:01.400show amazing was the cast what made the show amazing was that all of these people had a role
00:44:10.140to play either whether it's you know through wit and dialogue and dynamic or saving saving the world
00:44:18.300again all of those very literal ways um but it all played to what i think is the perfect of all
00:44:28.320series finales i've never seen a more and again give it a go comment below if you think there's
00:44:36.860a better series finale not season finale but series finale about the way that that ends and
00:44:43.740what that represents and how that empowers and how that you know can be portrayed in so many
00:44:50.640different ways and to so many different people and i realize in the show it's talking about women
00:44:56.460and it's talking about the power that women have and how they, you know, can control it and share
00:45:01.360it and help all of those things. But all of those themes don't just stop there. Um, it's funny.1.00
00:45:08.860Like I said before, you can watch it on a superficial level if you want. Um, but I think
00:45:14.640you're missing out. University of Toronto, which is a relatively famous university here in Ontario
00:45:20.520actually has a course dedicated to the feminist principles0.99
00:45:25.580and sort of pop culture-changing foundations
00:45:32.700that Buffy brought to the small screen.
00:45:36.140So that's a lot of watching you guys to have to do.
00:45:39.200So if you're in Ontario, you're going into a lockdown anyways.
00:45:41.520We're in one right now, so you can start.
