0:03
let's talk about the 430 movie it's the
0:06
new film directed by Kevin Smith it is
0:10
is it part of the vew ESC Universe if
0:13
you know what the view es universe is
0:15
that's all Kevin Kevin Smith's films all
0:18
kind of connect in some way uh this film
0:21
May connect it's set in
0:24
1986 it's uh the story of a group of
0:28
young friends they're very
0:31
close and Brian David has a crush on
0:36
Melody Barnegat really wants to get with
0:39
her and he almost had a chance they were
0:41
in the pool together she was in a
0:44
swimsuit and she said you can touch him
0:47
you can touch him and Brian hesitated
0:50
but he's not gonna let that stop him
0:52
he's asking her to go see a movie that
0:56
starts at 4:30 and it's all about the
0:58
rush to get to see that film at 4:30 he
1:02
goes with his buddies to see a movie
1:04
before that which is Loosely a movie
1:08
that they they do these fake movie
1:09
trailers and they end up seeing like
1:13
they end up seeing this this this movie
1:15
that's basically a ripoff of Flash
1:17
Gordon and it's hysterical so there's
1:20
fake movies within the movie um and
1:24
everything is out to stop him in
1:26
including the unscr scrupulous
1:30
uh manager of the theater Mike played by
1:34
Jong who's uh he's over the top as usual
1:38
Justin Long plays a character named
1:40
stank in line at the the refreshment
1:44
stand and this is just a fun film that
1:48
is a slice of Li life in the 80s about
1:52
movie Obsessed Teens movie Obsessed and
1:55
sex obsessed I'll say this uh 90 minutes
2:01
as uh runchy as Kevin's previous work
2:07
and in a way it's kind of a soft prequel
2:11
to clerks I don't want to say but uh
2:15
watch the whole film you you kind of
2:17
think like oh this is like a prequel to
2:21
clerks and it's I it's very much
2:23
reminded me of that era they talk about
2:26
movies like Rocky 4 um and they're
2:29
they're just it's when you get together
2:31
with people who love movies these are
2:34
organic conversations that everyone has
2:37
uh Austin zajur plays Brian David he's
2:42
very good and Sienna agudong plays
2:45
Melody really good young actors I mean
2:48
they have chemistry they are likable
2:52
Austin is really a standout in this I
2:55
think you're gonna see him pop up in
2:57
other movies it's it's you know it's a
3:00
Kevin Smith movie where he really lets
3:03
the characters kind of take Center Stage
3:06
um and I don't think he's in the movie
3:11
Kevin no Cameo by him I didn't notice it
3:15
um but uh it's all if you like Kevin's
3:19
movies and you like movies where
3:22
characters talk about film this is that
3:26
it's it's know my old ass you know
3:29
you're not going to be Weeping at the
3:31
end but it's a very solid fun Slice of
3:34
Life coming of age Teen Movie in a
3:39
1986 and uh it's all centered the whole
3:43
thing most of the movie takes place once
3:46
they get to the movie theater it's all
3:48
at the movie theater you know sneaking
3:51
into the movie theater through the back
3:53
you know uh annoying ushers it's all
3:57
about the day in the life of a theater
3:59
and one goal to get with Melody that's
4:02
all Brian wants is to get with the cute
4:05
girl who he wants a a second chance with
4:10
so I really enjoyed it I laughed um it's
4:14
not GNA be for I know not everybody is
4:16
into Kevin Smith it's not preachy it's
4:20
not you know like it's not like like I
4:23
say it's it's almost like it is rated R
4:26
but I gotta say it's pretty light for
4:28
Kevin like it may be rated R but there's
4:31
not like it's not as overthe toop as his
4:35
uh his other films it sounds like Kevin
4:38
Smith without Edge yeah but I no it has
4:42
Edge it's just not as
4:44
runchy um so I mean the other thing is
4:48
it feels like Kevin Smith is going back
4:50
to old Kevin Smith and the question is
4:52
is he too old to do old Kevin Smith this
4:55
is really you could tell he put heart in
5:00
myth he wears his heart on his sleeve
5:03
especially after he uh survived the
5:05
heart attack changes change his health
5:08
diet and everything like I relate to
5:10
that like he's he's a softy so this
5:14
movie is Kevin as a softy this is like
5:17
probably it's probably based I don't
5:20
know for a fact I'm guessing it's based
5:23
on a real memory of a girl he liked mhm
5:27
it has that kind of realism you know and
5:30
the I love the m and is parts of it are
5:33
over the toop and kind of dumb uh I I
5:36
like that it's fine like look I'm not
5:40
I'm not uh embarrassed I like Kevin
5:41
Smith movies and this is just light it's
5:44
Kevin Smith lights but it has heart so
5:48
that I really yeah that that's what I
5:50
was gonna ask is where where does this
5:51
fit in the pantheon of Kevin Smith
5:54
movies and it seems like maybe it's kind
5:56
of like if Kevin Smith did a short film
5:59
and uh or if if this was his first movie
6:02
basically well it is sort of a soft
6:05
prequel to clerks in a way because it's
6:08
about this that era right that mid 80s
6:12
movie Obsessed teen who is has the Huts
6:15
for a young girl and it the cast really
6:18
makes it I mean there's ridiculous
6:20
things that happen like Ken Jong as the
6:23
movie theater manager he owns a movie
6:26
car it's the dumbest car he has like a
6:29
projector mounted on the hood yeah cuz
6:33
he's into movies so he made a movie car
6:36
and it looks like a cheap ass Batmobile
6:39
it's so dumb so there are things in this
6:41
movie that are ridiculous and dumb but I
6:44
give it a pass yeah I feel I guess I
6:47
feel the same way about this that you
6:49
feel about the killer killer game uh
6:51
yeah I probably wait to watch it on
6:53
streaming as opposed to you know force
6:56
my way into you know get myself to go to
6:58
the movie theater and see it well it was
7:00
only playing at one theater so we went
7:02
to see it uh I'm sure it'll be on VOD
7:05
and streaming shortly but I you know
7:08
what soft recommend from me a hard
7:11
recommend if you're a Kevin Smith fan I
7:14
give it a seven yeah oh by the way he
7:16
plays a character called quiet
7:22
on I didn't notice him I thought
7:26
well yeah yeah yeah but um and the the
7:29
movie trailers for the fake movies are
7:31
so funny there's one about a nun that's
7:34
a Nun by day and a [ __ ] By Night played
7:39
by his daughter Harley who his daughter
7:42
Harley by the way who was at the
7:46
at she was there with uh some people
7:48
from the film so yeah no I look I
7:52
enjoyed it it's you know it's not it's
7:56
not woke or preachy or whatever just a
7:59
ID Coming of Age movie Obsessed teen
8:06
fun um I just even though it's R-rated
8:09
it didn't feel R-rated for a Kevin Smith
