Adam does movies live. Hey, and I sound all right. Got a good group of people watching already, I see. Definitely my usual subscribers and not new fans of the channel coming in. Hope everyone's having a good Friday night. Let's just get right into it. I did take notes to prepare because I was gonna go off the cuff, but there's a lot to talk about. And honestly, I'm a little nervous to be, if I could be frank with you, I'm not one that likes the outrage like the views for clicks sort of thing. So in the past, I've done reviews that were like against the norm and like sound of freedom, for instance, I thought wasn't very good. I didn't think it was all right, horrible, but I thought it was just like, okay.   It was really awful. So then I addressed that by basically just kind of owning them, like responding with a salty comeback video. And then I walk away, but that's like unfulfilling and unsatisfying. So I thought, why don't I try something different and just look at all the negative comments on my channel, take the actual criticisms, a few of them and kind of like try to relate or to communicate my thoughts. And so let me just start by saying, I'm not a full-time critic. This is a hobby of mine. I've been doing this for over a decade. I've had two kids since I started YouTube. I've had a wife for like 16 years and I've had a full-time job that whole time. I'm a web developer and designer. This is just a passion project for me. It's a passion project that I do take seriously and actually does help pay the bills.  Let me get into what happened with this movie. So I saw it Wednesday night. I went with a buddy Matt. He actually drove two hours to come meet me. Prior to this, I saw a trailer for Godzilla minus one. And I thought, holy crap, this looks awesome. I had not seen or heard about this movie up until a month earlier. I'm not part of the Godzilla fandom community. I'm not like online all the time.  I'm just not a Godzilla guy. I've seen some of the movies. I'm familiar with the black and white originals. And I know like the American stuff. I know it's huge in Japan. That's awesome. That's great. Everybody has things they love. Apparently there's a thriving, amazing community of Godzilla fans. Wonderful. What wasn't so wonderful was the way they responded, but this is not a victim video. I'm not gonna be going through and combing over thousands of comments and all these things on Twitter and TikTok and stuff and like crying about it. This kind of comes with the territory now and it has come with the territory for quite a while which is a shame. I just will say my piece. And then I should point out that super chats are always appreciated. If you have thoughts on this movie, I will post it up on the video. I will address it.  That's not, the ad hominem attacks have been done to death, going against my character and other things I like. That's worthless. We do have a super chat already. Shot out of a cannon. Alex Douthright for $5. Saw some awful stuff on Twitter so wanted to support the channel, keeping you at them. Thank you, Alex.  I'll just say that. Twitter was disgusting. All right, let me go through my notes. Okay. First I should start with Wednesday. So I watched the trailer. I showed my kids. They were pumped. My son Connor's 11. He's a big fan of these types of movies. He likes the Kong movie. Kong is awesome, by the way. That's, I'm a big King Kong fan of Peter Jackson's. I know that's a remake of several different iterations. They're all pretty cool in their own way. I really like Peter Jackson's King Kong because I'm a big Lord of the Rings guy. I like his work. Hell, I love the Frayners. That's a great movie. Godzilla has been very hit or miss the ones I've seen, mostly miss. I think they have a cool idea. And I love the idea of just a giant creature destroying everything. And I know the older iteration is more of a symbol of nuclear warfare and trauma. And that stuff's all really awesome. I just don't think they ever really get it right for me. Godzilla, King of the Monsters was a pretty fun, I think, mostly their attempt.   It just didn't work. It was too long. It was too dumb.  Get in and get out. I like lots of silly fun family films, but you gotta do it quickly. And we'll get to some of the criticisms about that in a little bit. All right, where am I? Okay, so I'm excited for this movie. I wanna take the kids, but I find out there's a Wednesday night showing. We planned on going to the Thursday night. There was a Wednesday early showing. I thought, okay, I'm gonna go to this. Matt Shime did, and he's like, hey, I'll drive up and meet you. We'll go see this movie. I say, all right, cool. If it's awesome, I'll bring my kids the next time. We'll go to the theaters and watch this thing because I was anticipating off the trailer would be awesome. We go, I will say, and this is gonna be spoiler free. We go and I'm pretty into it for about 15 minutes. I like the opening. I appreciated the backdrop of being historical right after, you know, Ground Zero, right after World War II, after the bomb falling. I like the idea of a Kamikaze pilot who bails out on a really bad idea, but then he feels awful about it. Like I didn't help my country, right? Cause it's kinda drilled in. I also like that they do ground the story for the first half a lot. And I don't mind that it was slower either. The problems I have were that it loses me after about halfway through. I'm finding myself sitting here going, okay, he has PTSD, now what? Nothing's really moving in this story. He's got this kind of awkward relationship with this woman who's not married to, they have this child together that's not theirs. It's just like this broken family coming together to be one. On paper, this is all still working for me, but then it loses me halfway through because nothing more is being added and I'm just kinda watching the same things play out. Also, the main character, these actors are all fine. It's how they're written that I don't like and this might be a cultural thing, I don't know, but the way he presents himself with the emotions, it was almost a little silly to me, kind of anime levels, which I'm not a huge anime guy, my son loves anime. For me, it ebbs and flows, but some of the ways like he's just over the top crying and presenting himself, it's just coming off silly. There was two guys behind us that were actually laughing during this movie.  I was just losing any sort of sense of excitement I had for this film. Now let's talk about Godzilla.  I was never scared of this thing. There was no build into this creature coming along. At the beginning, he's just there.  And I wanted build. I wanted drama. I wanted that intensity. And people will argue and say there's plenty of drama. There's crying, there's sadness. Yeah, and for some people, it's gonna work. For me, it didn't. It never felt genuine enough. And I don't think the director pushed the characters far enough. The third act is where it all falls to pieces. If the third act would have been great and it would have hit those marks, I would have said, yeah, this pushes it positive for me because there are plenty of positives in this film.  I had a lot of nice things to say. What didn't work was the Disney-esque ending of season three, which I won't get into, but I found the entire premise completely loony tunes. I thought it was bizarre and silly that these ships had to like crash against each other.  And then there was a couple cop-outs where the drama really could have been pushed and it really would have been worth it to build this time with these characters, but instead they copped out on both of them. And I'll leave it there. Last thing I'll say about the movie before addressing some of this other stuff is there is destruction, there's not much of it. The scene where Godzilla is rampaging, pretty neat. We're kind of getting the thing we've seen in American versions where it's almost a voyeuristic shot off camera looking over at him. I wanted that to last much longer and I wanted to really feel the fear that these people had. Instead, he's just abruptly there. Like this dude's always been present in their life and I guess in a way that kind of makes sense with the symbolic nature of it, but it needed to be scarier. I needed to feel that feeling. The woman, for instance, in the train as it's breaking, this lasts for maybe 15 seconds. She's up in the train, she's flipped, she falls down in the water, completely kind of pointless scene. There was nothing really to that. I didn't have time to really fear for her. Yeah, a lot of it's just feeling and gut and when I'm there and it's not moving the right way and the pacing is not hitting right, what do you want me to say?  He looked really great. The special effects were awesome. The fact that this was a 15 million budget, incredible. Incredible. Disney's thrown away hundreds of millions of dollars to make movies that don't even look this good. And again, I pointed out the boat chase sequence, which is about 15 minutes or so of the film, that was dynamite. If that was the movie, I mean, I really liked that small scale section where it was just this group of boaters against all odds, trying to outrun Godzilla. Good stuff. Okay, let me see if there's any comments on the super chat side of things. If not, I will jump into the next section. What do we got here? Let's see, that guy, Matt $5. Happy Friday, Adam, just for the support. Thank you, guy, Matt. Master Sergeant shot out of a cannon, $10 super chat. You know, you've made it in the big time when masses of people take a simple opinionated comment with the movie and perceive it as a direct assault on their very souls. Yeah, there was a lot of that, but we'll get there. Tony from Hack the Movies for $10. I didn't see Godzilla minus one yet, but I gave it a 10 out of 10. It was a masterpiece. It was so good, bro. Bro, it was so good, bro. What? It was so good. Tony's being a little bit trolly here. He, again, there's a lot of fandoms out there. There's a lot of like really passionate fans. And I, well, again, I'll address it in a little bit, but when I reviewed Meg to the trench, I did not like that movie. I thought it was pretty awful. And for some reason, when I posted the short to TikTok, there were, I mean, there were hundreds of comments that all said the same thing. Like they were NPCs. It was just, bro, this movie was good. It was good, bro. Bro, it was good. It was good, bro, over and over at Nazium. We got one more here from Joseph Blasco for $74.37.  Brought my pitchfork and torch. We'll put it away, Joseph. We're not here to string anyone up. We're here to try to understand each other and have a damn conversation for once. But thank you for the amazing support. You guys are awesome. Okay, let's get into the fun now. So the movie is about 75% in. I've taken my pee break because I have the bladder of a 95-year-old man. As I'm sitting down, I noticed that my buddy Matt is squirming a lot. He's sighing a lot. I can just read his body language that he's not having a good time here. I'm pushed past the point where I'm liking this movie now and I just want it to be over. And so I turn away, I'm gonna go, so this movie kind of sucks, huh?  I'm paraphrasing, but he said something more aggressive than what I even said, which is why I titled the video, Godzilla minus one kind of sucks, because that's exactly what I said in the theater. Now let's get to the real thing people are outraged about. Oh no, I'm not there yet. Sorry, I keep jumping the gun. I'm so excited to get to this. After the movie is over, I say goodbye to Matt. He's got a long ride home. And I head on over to Tarje. It's a fancy way for saying target. That's what we call it in this house. And I run into three friends of the channel that are locals that they just got back. Oh no, they were just on their way to see salt burn. The one gentleman had already seen it once before and he loved it. I have not seen salt burn yet. It's a 824 film. It looks interesting. Maybe I'll get to see it. I'm not sure. I don't have like a ton of time all the time to go to movies, unfortunately. But they were gonna go to it again. And then he asked me what I saw and I said, I was a little down. I said, Godzilla minus one. And he's like, how was it? And I said, not great. And he just looked bummed. He's like, oh man, I wanted to see him.  And he said, yeah, I got tickets tomorrow. I said, well, yeah, absolutely go of course. Let me know what you thought because it's an opinion. And I don't hold my opinion above anyone else's. I'm just a regular freaking guy that can make mistakes as well. I mean, a mistake, I don't know. Is it a mistake? Your opinion a mistake? Maybe whatever, it's debatable. And that's why I like having discussions about this. But then he asked me, hey, just out of curiosity, what did you think of Thanksgiving, the Eli Roth film? We saw it, they saw it a couple of days ago, I think. And I said, I really liked it. And he goes, really? I thought it sucked. I'm like, oh wow. And we had this back and forth conversation for like 15 minutes about the movie. No one threatened anyone. No one tried to dox the other person where they live. No one, it was just a regular dudes talking about films which is exactly how I try to present myself on my YouTube channel. Now, some people will say it, well, that's a lazy way of reviewing. You didn't write a script for this. You didn't come at this from an analytical perspective. You didn't use big words. You didn't go into the history of Godzilla and do your homework. And no, that's not what I wanna do. I'm a 41 year old adult with a family and a full-time job who likes seeing movies. So my channel is to represent basic bitches like myself who don't have time to be part of fandoms or don't have time to like get in the weeds in all these different movies. There's so many movies. And that's why there's a lot of YouTube channels and TikTok accounts and Twitter's or whatever freaking X accounts that are dedicated to specific movie franchises because we are at a point now where you can monetize based on your knowledge of one specific thing and that has never interest me. I will fully admit that there is decent money to be made. There's really good money to be made specializing in one specific niche, but I don't wanna do that. And it's cool if you do. It's cool if you're really into one thing but I'm a variety is the spice of life kind of guy. I like to try out all sorts of different films and music and TV shows and see what sticks. And even if I'm not a huge Godzilla fan and I haven't been impressed with a lot of them coming out, when I see a trailer to a movie that I'm excited about, I'm gonna give it a chance. And even if I see a trailer that I'm not excited about, I'm gonna give it a chance. And sometimes those ones hit harder than anything else. Okay, we had a nice conversation. Now let's get to the Ron Tomatoes. Let me see if anybody else has any thoughts first. We do have more. Master Sargent's back, got you Joseph Blasco for 74.38 says Master Sargent. Wow, wow, answers back? What is going on? That's awesome. Thank you guys. What a year it's been. These live streams have honestly propped up this channel so much. It's amazing. This isn't a huge channel. Again, I've been doing it for a decade on and off, but this is great. Persistency, you just state persistency. Is that a word? Keep persistent. Okay, we got another one from Matt Sclero. There's my buddy. Just wanted to confirm that yes, people were laughing in the theater. That's Matt. He's the one that went with me. So feel free to go attack him, find his socials, do what you need to do guys. Let's take him down. Thank you, Matt. Matt, by the way, special shout out to my buddy Matt. We met on YouTube and I'll get into that.  These were two polarizing viewpoints at the time. I don't know if they still are. I don't think the matrix is, but when the matrix hit, Ron Tomatoes, it was at like, I wanna say high 90s in the percentage for fresh. So Matt got me a going away gift because he's going back into work, which is gonna take him on the road. He's not gonna be able to see movies with me as much. So he got me this freaking awesome framed matrix poster. I'm gonna try to figure out a way to display it, or I'll maybe put it against that wall for when I do gaming streams, so you can at least see it over there and appreciate it. And I can have Trinity and Neo and Morpheus all, you know, smiling at me and saying, keep going at him, you're doing great. Thank you, Matt, you're awesome. Okay, Master Sergeant's back for $5. I take a lot of crap because of the cult who attacks the idea that all may like dislike. In the end, dislike still means that I have my trilogy. Yeah, exactly. Master Sergeant notoriously bad taste when it comes to liking the Snyderverse. I'm joking, Matt. I like Man of Steel. I will stand by Man of Steel. It's got flaws, every movie's kind of got flaws. I'm wearing a Jurassic Park shirt, by the way. It's my favorite movie of all time.  It's kind of fun to make fun of Jurassic Park. Is it perfect? No. But I love it. I have fond memories of the film. I can defend it like no other. And that's half of what movies are to a lot of people is just that right place and that right time, just like music. You hear a good song on the radio. It'll instantly take you back to the year you listen to it. There's something special about that. Something special about that. Okay, we got one from $5 from Tyler A4, a 40, sorry if I mispronounced. Just one question then, because this is where all this traffic is coming from, how did you get confirmed with Ron Tomatoes? Good question, Tyler. I'm actually gonna address Ron Tomatoes right after I get through these super chats. Aaron's ran some reviews for $5. Thank you, Aaron. $5 is hardly worth what you had to deal with. Haven't seen it, but people are comparing it favorably to Shin Godzilla, which I liked. So we'll see. I did not see Shin Godzilla. So I have no opinion on it at all. Life is good. Gifted five Adam Does Movies memberships. Life is good, that's awesome. For those of you that don't know, Adam Does Movies membership helps to support the channel. You instantly get access to 300 exclusive videos. There's a lot of silly stuff on there, me ranting about random things not having to do with movies. It's all very, it's all very sticky and over the top and fun and don't take it serious. I joke a lot. I make fun of myself a lot on this channel. I know some people took offense to a couple of the comments I made in my Godzilla review. I don't know what to tell you, humor is subjective. I sometimes just go a little dark with my comedy. I apologize if I offended, but I'm not gonna apologize for my views on the film. Joseph Blasco Gifted One Adam Does Movies membership. Thank you, Joseph. Always a champion of the channel. What's this name? Sour Nuts for $199. Movie was great. If you like Godzilla, movie was great. If you like Godzilla, I will like it. I'm not sure. Okay, so you saw it and you liked it or it's got Godzilla, so you will like it. Either way, I'm glad you liked it. I wanted to like it. I don't go to movies. I don't go to movies to hate on movies. It's crazy, but I have to actually pay to go to movies. I don't get screeners to movies. I'm not some special critic that gets wind and dined at films. And I'm glad I'm not because that would honestly skew some opinions. And if you don't think it does, then I don't know what to tell you, you're wrong. All right, let me go back to my notes and see what we have. Okay, let's go to Rotten Tomatoes. So Rotten Tomatoes seems to be a sticking point for a lot of people. And I think they're confused as to how Rotten Tomatoes works still in 2023, which is wild, but new generations rise up. I'm older now, I'm 41, I just turned 41. So this isn't my, not some spring chicken here. I grew up with Rotten, I should say grew up. I was around when Rotten Tomatoes came out. I've always wanted to be a certified critic on the website. Never really thought the day would happen, but it was always a dream of mine. As I got older, I never pursued it. I didn't really care. I didn't really think of myself as like a highly esteemed critic that should be on the platform. But after many years of doing the reviews and seeing what sort of people were actually getting certified on Rotten Tomatoes, I just kept thinking, you know what? I know more than that person, or I can express an opinion in a way I think that will reach people and resonate with a lot of people, not everyone of course, entertainment subjective.  It's all entertainment at the end of the day. And so I did, I submitted. You can submit like once a year or maybe a couple of times a year. I'm not sure. A couple of people on my channel said, Adam, submissions are open. Why don't you shoot them a submission form and see what they do? And they accepted me and that was awesome. I was like, okay, look at me. I got that fresh certification. That being said, I don't like Rotten Tomatoes. I don't like it from an optics standpoint. I think there's value in Rotten Tomatoes, but I think how people abuse it is really disgusting. Let me clarify. Rotten Tomatoes is binary. A movie's either fresh or it's Rotten. I would say 85% of the movies I watch are neither fresh nor Rotten. They're right in the middle. They're Goldilocks in this thing. And there's no option for middle ground on Rotten Tomatoes, which I think is a huge mistake. But the whole thing's kind of set up to be that way, right? To get people generating buzz. And it's a great way to market a movie. Like, look at it, it's 97% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. But how many movies do you think are actually 100% amazing, perfect films with no flaws? I would say zero, but that's not even how the tomato meter works. 100% doesn't mean the movie is perfect. 100% means 100% of the certified critics thought it was better than it was worse. That's it. A three out of five can be fresh. A two out of five can be fresh. It just depends on what you submit. So when I go to Rotten Tomatoes, like I did right after I saw the film, I go home after I have a nice conversation with some fans at Target, which by the way, put me at a really high level. I don't run into fans of the channel often at all. There's not a huge channel by any means. I'm in South Carolina in kind of a middle of nowhere area. But that made me feel cool. Not because people recognize me, but because the conversation was awesome. And one of the gentlemen, he's disabled, he's in a chair, he's unable to really talk. He's older. And as I was describing a movie that they didn't agree with, but he did, I could see him nodding along with me and really appreciating what I was saying. And that kind of like, that was awesome. It's like, okay, I am voicing an opinion that some people maybe can't voice. So they do turn to channels like mine and they can say, you know what, this guy is genuine. He might not be right. I might disagree with him five out of 10 times or more. But I know that he's speaking from the heart because he's not in anyone's pocket because he has a full-time job. And because he just like seeing movies and talking about them. That's really at the end of the day, all I do it for, obviously, and so my wife can stay home now. Okay, I kind of lost my train of thought. All right, back to Ron Tomatoes. I have the conversation with these guys. I go home, it's probably, I don't know, 9.30 at night. I film my review, turn on the camera, fire up a 15 minute video. I've changed how I've done my videos lately. It used to be very heavily edited. I would say a couple lines. I would do a couple takes of it.  As of Wish, the Disney movie that sucked, I changed it and I thought, you know what, people seem to like my more organic, longer free-flowing conversation because it feels like I'm talking directly to them or to you. And so I tried it out with Wish. People didn't complain, which means it's a win in my book and the video did very well. So I decided to go with that going forward. And so this was the third or fourth attempt of me doing it. And I do think my Godzilla review, it definitely could have been more well thought out. I could have made my points more clear, but there's also the challenge of not spoiling things. This movie was brand new in theaters. I mean, it's actually, I don't even think it's out in American theaters fully. It's doing well. I think it's made a few million dollars already, which is great. I hope it does well. The director is very talented. I could see another Godzilla movie by him being really freaking good. I mean, if you didn't like this one, I could see the next one working a lot better with him at the helm, especially with that budget he had, freaking awesome. Anyway, I could see some flaws with my review and obviously my intro where it's a little bit, it's over the top. I'd rather watch the old Godzilla. I do stand by that. I think Godzilla minus one is probably a better movie, just an overall better made film, but I would rather watch the schlocky 98 Godzilla movie rather than the slow kind of boring Godzilla minus one. I have a better time with the cheesy one from the guy who made Independence Day. Independence Day is awesome. I like that. It hasn't held up very well, but I loved it back in the day. I saw like three times in theaters. That said, I'm not gonna watch either of them again. I mean, maybe I'll try to sit through it with my family or my wife and kids can just watch it on their own at home when it's streaming. Cause I want them to see it. I want them to try it out. I just don't wanna drop 40 or 50 bucks to go to the theater again with it. And my kids aren't like I was growing up. They love movies and I've shown them some bangers and they have their own opinions on films, but it's not like when we were growing up, I was so excited to go to movies. I was begging to see movies day one. It's not that way anymore. There's so much content released everywhere that I just don't think kids care. Like we did, at least like I did. Let's do a couple more super chats before I keep going. We have Jan Rose here for $5. Thank you, Jan. Good to see you. Such hateful comments. I'm so sorry. You're entitled to your opinion and your take. We're here for you and your honesty. You're doing great Adam. Thank you, Jan. I appreciate that. Chris Robolard for $2. Zilla minus one was awesome. All caps. Glad you liked it, Chris. Really glad you liked it. Thanks for the super chat, dude. Sour, never say the name, sour nuts. 199, thank you. I meant if you like Godzilla, you will like minus one. Okay. I don't hate Godzilla, but I didn't like minus one, but I think I see where you're going.  That's fair. And that seems to be the general consensus based on the comments I've received. Christian Thacker for 199. Appreciate all you do, Adam. Keep being you. Thank you, Christian. Very much. Okay, Joseph Blascoe for $12.58. Joseph's on a roll. Thank you, Joseph. When you mix comedy with reviews, it can be tricky for some viewers, but I get your comedic style, so I love it. Yeah, comedy's hard. And it's not gonna work for everyone. I am very dry too. I have tried over the years to be a little bit more pronounced with my sarcasm. It doesn't always come off that way. What do you do? Listen, I don't have like a lot of amazing skill sets. I'm really good at drawing freehand, and I'm a damn fine graphic designer, front-end web developer. I'm good at that. I've been doing it in a long time. But growing up, my biggest skill set was making people laugh, whether it's at my expense or at the expense of, you know, someone else, whatever. Just trying to get some joy out of people. I think that's why my wife likes me, is I try to be funny and I try to have fun a lot, and it's not gonna work for everyone. I understand that. But that's mainly why I do the show, is to entertain. Mickey, my friend, for $5, thank you, Mickey. People have opinions. No one forced you to watch Adam's review. No one forced you to comment.  There is a lot of that going around. We will get there. Maybe we're there. Are we there? Maybe? Oh, I was gonna say a few more things on Ron Tomatoes. Rod and Tomatoes is a collection of a lot of different people. It's not just the cream of the crop, intelligent, big words, sip and wine by a fire guy, is the dude from Ratatouille is making a review. There is some of that, for sure. In fact, the one that disliked Godzilla minus one alongside of me so far is one of those guys. I've liked his reviews and I've respected him for many, many years. I grew up with Siskel and Ebert. It's the reason I started my channel. RIP, of course. But yeah, my point is, there's not just the sophisticated ones. There's bloggers. There's TikTokers. There's website companies.  Well, that's up to the viewer. That's up to the listener. But what I do like about Rotten Tomatoes, and this is me defending it a little bit, is that the score doesn't reflect how great a movie is. It reflects how all these different walks of life look at the film and decided to come together and say, you know what? This is better than it is worse. I think people are gonna like this movie. It's good. I think it's good. I'm putting my stamp of approval on it. And so when you see a movie at 98%, you go, all right, look at all these different people that thought this movie was good or better than bad. That means that I'm gonna have a decent to great time if I trust these critics, if I trust this consensus score.  I think there was an article that did straight up admit that there was a studio that was paying for reviews or whether Rotten Tomatoes is silencing critics until a later time before their negative review shows up. There is stuff going on for sure. Now, for Godzilla minus one, when I put my review up there, there were 33 reviews. 33 is nothing. There are hundreds of reviews that end up going up for most movies, most bigger tentpole movies. 33 is nothing. And from that 33, me being cynical and jaded and understanding how Rotten Tomatoes and how this industry works, realizes that they're gonna be mostly positive because they have screeners to this early. And when studios get screeners ahead of time, it means that they're in the favor of the studio. They haven't made any pissing off motions in the past. And this is absolutely 100% true. I was invited onto Rotten Tomatoes channel last year. Yeah, they have a YouTube channel. And you can find this video.   I just want you to know, a lot of us in-house hated this movie too, but we are not allowed to say anything about it because we don't wanna lose our Warner Brothers presser. That is the honest to God's truth. And I went on that thing, I freaking destroyed the Matrix because I have nothing to lose. And I hated that movie so bad as a big fan of the Matrix films. So when I see 33 reviews on the new Godzilla minus one, I instantly think, okay, these could be genuine. People could really like this movie or these are the early access people that are more generous. Because they've seen this early, they got the red carpet treatment, they saw some of the actors, they saw the director, they got a tote bag, they got their photos taken. There is gonna be some influence there. Now, I'm not discrediting it. They could fully be 100% genuine and they all just thought it was great or they thought it was good and that's perfectly fine too.  I didn't know of a fandom. At this point now, I just assume everything has one. And I know Godzilla has been around forever but you have to understand that I don't live online and I'm not in these different circles. There's a Sonic the Hedgehog fandom and it's crazy. There's a Five Nights at Freddy fandom. Harry Potter, of course. I got a Harry Potter castle. I love Harry Potter. I've been a universal. I love the rides. I'm a big fan.  I don't go on the message boards. I'm not on Reddit or I don't honestly know how fandoms even work to be honest with you. I don't get it. I don't have too old and untouched I guess. I do know this. My review is honest and sincere.  So yeah, I dropped the score from 100 to 97% and the fact that it dropped 3% from one person's review should kind of tell people that maybe there's not enough consensus yet when one man can damage a movie 3%. That means there's not a lot of reviews in yet. Now I know as of saying this, it's jumped back to 97%. There's, I don't know, 50 reviews, 60 reviews, 70 at this point and me and more or whatever we're like on a rock by ourselves and I'm fine with that. I think that it's good to have different viewpoints and different expectations for people. If everyone is in the same echo chamber what's the point at all? And if you're in a fandom and you just wanna hear good comments and good reviews and no criticism or just tame criticism but overall you still keep your score at a positive then why do you care at all? In my review, I opened up by saying after my snarky intro, I opened up by saying I'm not a Godzilla guy. I'm a movie guy. I like movies. If you like Godzilla, you'll probably like the movie. It's got cool action.  I mean, the effects are top notch, great sound design, all the elements are there. And so I'm not, I don't even know what else to say. Like I was very upfront.  Okay, I probably lost a point or two there at some but that's how Rod Tomatoes works. That's why I do think it is a useful tool. Now people will abuse the tool like they have been by saying, Adam you're by yourself. If you think that that score is not gonna go down over time, you're wrong. It will go down more. It has nowhere to go but down. And as it opens up to more critics and as more people see it, you'll see the numbers drop. You'll see more people not like the film because we all have opinions and tastes. All right, there's more super chats. Let's get to them. Let's get to them. One take for 4.99. Just saw the movie. Looking forward to watching a review. I liked it, but enjoy hearing opinions that differ from mine. Crazy, I know. Thank you, one take. I appreciate that. I am glad you liked the movie. Chris Taggart for 1.99. Thank you, Chris. Been watching you for years, Adam. Love your stuff. I appreciate that. Kelvin and Hobbs representation. Sour Nuts is back for 1.99. Love the show, Adam, keep it up. Thank you. Go Boston Red Sox. That's his icon. Zimzilla 99 for $10 super shot. Super chat. Thank you, Zimzilla, if I'm saying that right. Gonna be doing a live stream on the channel about your review on video. Would love to debate you like you did on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, that would be cool. I'll do that with you. Just let me know. You can hit me up on, well, I don't know how we can set this up. You can hit me up on Twitter. Well, the artist formerly known as Twitter, X. Just send me a private message or friend me on there and then we can set it up. Okay, Alex Douthright for $2 super chat. I have nothing to say, but I love Uncle Buck. Hell yeah, Uncle Buck is awesome. RIP John Candy. Okay, let me go through my beautiful notes here. Oh, I had one, okay, let's talk about fandoms. I briefly touched on them, but I just wanna say something else. I would love for the Godzilla community. The ones that, not even the ones that came on my channel and said, hey, you're wrong. For instance, I wrote down 10 or 11 quotes from my YouTube channel that I can address that are substantive. The top comment on there with like 600 likes said, what an awful take. It was a fantastic film and probably the greatest Godzilla film ever made and I will die on that hill. I have no problem with this comment. It's his opinion. He's criticizing me. I'm a movie critic. If I'm giving criticism, I have to be able to take criticism. Again, I've been doing this a very long time.  That's perfectly acceptable.  Granted, obviously there's a floor to that. There's a ceiling and a floor to that. I don't go to the director. This is the different mindset that I have. And it just, again, it might be just the time period I grew up in. I wouldn't go to an actor's Instagram, for instance, or a director's Instagram or TikTok or whatever and say, hey, your movie sucked.   Actors get that all the time. Directors, I'm sure, get that all the time too. Well, Ryan Johnson, I know got that all the time. I hated Star Wars The Last Jedi.  So I do kind of even have, I don't have an issue with it, like going to someone and saying your content sucks, but I think it is kind of poor form. But I understand, there's passions, whatever, we all have to voice our opinions somehow. So yeah, if you don't have a microphone and you can't build one on your own, then just go in the chat and say, you know what, you suck, that's fine. Okay, my point here is, there's reasonable comments and then there's the stuff I got more on, I'd say X than in YouTube. But if you go in the YouTube comments, there's some really awful things in there. People, again, trying to dox me, they're telling me to die. They're calling me a bad dad.  I want those fans that were doing that to understand that you are in an echo chamber and there are people that just wanna watch a movie and don't necessarily have to appeal to you. So when I made my review and I said, Godzilla minus one kind of sucks as the title. And on the thumbnail, I said, Godzilla minus fun.  That wasn't at all what I was doing. What I was doing, well, first off, Godzilla minus fun is accurate. The movie's not fun. It's supposed to be a somber, sad, miserable experience with a, you know, like, morality and a celebration of the human spirit, right? But it's not fun. So there's nothing inaccurate about that. The title kind of sucks. This is me trying to reach out to people that see this movie and feel the same way.  That's the person I'm trying to communicate with. I'm trying to pull that person in. I didn't even think about a Godzilla fandom that I was attacking with this. That was not my intention. I don't care about the Godzilla fandom.  I know he's a radiation lizard. He's a giant monster who terrorizes and sometimes befriends the humans and fights other creatures. It kind of, you know, there's different versions. There's different adaptations and whatnot, that's fine. Outside of that though, I don't know the lore. I don't know the Five Nights at Freddy's lore. I don't know the Pizza Gate, Oni and the Libs lore of Sound of Freedom. There's so many things. And when you have all that stuff to deal with, that's pointless. And if you think you're alone, you're not. So when I put out a review for Fast and the Furious 10, I didn't like the movie.  There's 10 Fast and the Furious movies. Does a Fast and the Furious fan need to listen to me or even go on Rotten Tomatoes for a review of Fast 10? If they liked Fast 9 and 8 and 7 and 6, they're probably okay going to this and they know what to expect. I'm just giving out opinion for people that maybe don't know what to expect and wanna actually listen to what someone thought about it. Okay, I like some of the Fast and the Furious movies. I'm on the fence about this one. What does this guy have to say? Oh my God, it's two and a half hours long.  They say family a thousand times. It's super cringy. Yeah, I think I'll avoid this one or at least he gave me a heads up. Now, another thing is I don't think I've ever said more than maybe three times on my channel for people not to go watch a movie. It just doesn't happen. I would never tell someone not to see something unless it's like maybe Winnie the Pooh blood and honey at which point I would say like, hey, maybe don't waste your money on this cash grab. It's not worth it. I'm not even sure if I said it then, but I'm just saying it's rare when I'll ever say don't see a movie. And I certainly didn't say that for Godzilla minus one because I just had a feeling. I had a feeling when I was watching this film that I might be in the minority on this one because the pieces were all there for a great film but they did not hit for me. Okay, let's go to the second comment on, actually let me check out super chats first before I get too far in the weeds. We have one from Life is Good for $20. Thank you, Life is Good. I would just like to say I loved your kamikaze jokes. They were awesome. Also, if people don't like what you say there's about a billion other channels to watch to the offended with respect. Yeah, okay. I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was funny too. Of course I was called a racist for, it's always something, right? I was called a sexist for not liking the Ghostbusters movie, the all-female one.  I don't like any of the Disney remakes but I'm a racist, of course. There's always gonna be the extreme attacks. I'm called a racist from a few people. That kind of rolls off me but I thought it was really silly in this case because they just made a dark joke, black comedy sort of thing. The main character is a kamikaze. And so I go, that's kind of one of the only professions you can't fake, right? Kamikaze, you come home at the end of the day and the wife's like, how was work? And then he kind of makes something like, it was fine. Oh, really? Then why are you still here? That was the joke. I don't see how that's racist. You can say insensitive, sure. I mean, it was a long time ago. We make 9-11 jokes. We make jokes about, I remember South Park made jokes about the crocodile hunter like a day after he died. And I laughed at those and I thought the crocodile hunter was a really cool dude and really special guy but I could still use the twisted part of my brain and laugh about it. I don't know what else to say. Like if you don't like the joke, that's fine. I'm not a racist for it though. You just need to calm down. Thank you, life is good.  Shadow humor for $5. Godzilla greater than Kong. Shots fired from shadow humor. Thank you for the super chat. You're wrong. Kong is better than Godzilla as far as movies go. Kong is batting far better. Although Godzilla has far more movies, to be fair. Stuff like games for $2. You can't come on Godzilla anymore.  Johanna with a beautiful $2 super chat. Thank you, Johanna. I always thought you had a nice rapport the few times we met and I've seen some of your salty comments on X. And I was like, you know what, Johanna? I like your stuff. But you know what, after this absolute disgusting attack against me, I don't know if I agree. Go subscribe to Hack the Movies. Johanna's over there, Tony's over there. I go over there like once a month. I was on the Catzilla podcast where we talked about a really bad Godzilla movie. I always forget the name of the dude and I call him a Power Ranger and it insults people. He kind of looks like Turbo Man. Godzilla fans know who I'm talking about and they're again mad at me. Thank you. Stuff like games. Johanna. Zimzilla 99 for 9.99. Just started the stream. DM'd you like, oh, dude, I can't do it now.  I thought you meant like in another day. I'm so sorry if I misunderstood that.  But if you wanna have me on, I'll tell people where to go and they can watch. Disaster. Hack the movies for $5, there's Tony. Disregard Johanna, you are now my only co-host on Catzilla versus the Pod Monster. There it is. The Yin and the Yang. Tony, big Godzilla fan. Adam hates all things Godzilla. We're gonna clash. It's gonna be epic. Why am I getting a phone call? Hang on, what is this? Hello? Hello? And they hung up. Telemarketer, I kinda like to talk to him but I guess it's not gonna happen. I was hoping for maybe one of those like, hey, your computer has a virus, a malware and we could have had a whole thing, but it didn't work out. Joseph Blascoe's back for $18 and 11 cents this guy. Fine, you win. But what about Blue Oyster called Godzilla? Oh, great song. Seasons, oh no, that's Reaper, that's gonna do. Oh no, there goes Tokyo, Godzilla, that's a great song. I butchered it but it's a great song. I was gonna do Reaper by Blue Oyster called A Better Song. Oki, feel that. 199, Adam, you're the man, your reviews are always honest. Thank you. They might not always be right, but they're always honest. Thank you for the 199 super chat. All right, we are on comment two out of 11 I put down here. We'll get through these quick though. All right, here's what this person said. Bro absolutely did this for attention. I'm Bro and I did it for attention. He saw it was at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and saw that as his chance to stand out with the only negative review out of 33 at the time, the characters were amazing and the story was well-paced. It's a very grounded film and deals with the horrors of death, destruction and war.  Again, no one pays attention to me especially on Rotten Tomatoes. I didn't think there was a crazy fandom that was gonna get upset about it.    That was his joke. And then he sent me this disgusting photo on all my platforms. Another guy went on my Discord server and maybe I already talked about this. Sorry, let me move on. I gotta move past it. I'm so sad for people. I'm really honestly just sad for people. And when you get all that hate, like 48 hours in a row, it does wear you down.  Like I have thick skin. I've been doing this game for a long time. I've been attacked by a lot of different fandoms over the last couple of years. They've kind of surged since COVID. But this one was particularly ugly. And all because of the Rotten Tomatoes score, such a superficial nonsense thing to get upset about. And honestly, it's great to have a group of people that you can join in with. I can understand and I can totally see how fandoms can be fun. If I'm even, maybe it's not the right word. Is it fandoms, fans, fan clubs, get-togethers, hangouts, fan hangouts? Whatever it is. I don't know what Godzilla fans call themselves. We don't need to speculate. It'll just become insulting. But there's a hive mind mentality that can get really dangerous. And I just think people need to kind of think outside of the bun, outside of their sphere at what the rest of the world is maybe looking at. All right, number three on here, from the only guy who liked the Marvels. Ah, yes, the ad hominem attack. These are my favorite. There were, I mean, there were so many comments saying like, well, but a surprise from the guy that loved the Marvels. So I thought the Marvels was a perfect film.  You can go watch my Marvels review if you want. These are completely different movies for completely different feelings and audiences.  It's an hour and 40 minutes long. It's like getting some McDonald's and it tastes just fine. Is it good for you? No, is it well made? Absolutely not. But I still go there once in a while and get myself a sausage McMuffin with egg even though I'm gluten-free because I have celiacs and I shouldn't be eating the gluten, but damn it, it's good. So I will get that gluten-filled sausage McMuffin.  You guys remember when we used to watch cartoons? Maybe you still do. Maybe we're adult enough to admit that not everything has to be this Christopher Nolan-esque smart, sharp cinematic masterpiece. That was a term I heard getting thrown around a lot. Cinematic masterpiece. You're perfectly fine to say that about Godzilla. I don't think it's gonna stick for a lot of people but in the Godzilla community, fine. That's cool.  And the funny part is, I don't know if I said it in the review. I definitely knew it was gonna happen though.  I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go watch the Marvels. I'm sure it's gonna be hot trash. I didn't like Captain Marvel. I thought Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantum Shittia was just absolute dreck. Thor Love and Thunder was garbage. There seems to be no reason that this would be any good. And I had a good time with it. It was fun, it was light, it moved quick, there was action, an amazing movie. No, absolutely not. But again, Rotten Tomatoes, it's a one or a zero. And I found myself having a good time more than hating the thing and I could easily watch it again. It's a fast food experience. And with Godzilla minus one, I wanted to leave the experience. I wanted to get off the ride. We can have our opinions and takes. You don't have to agree with me. Yeah, I like the Marvels, it was fine. I like a lot of Marvel movies. I think a lot of people do, but now it's the cool edgy thing to say. Oh, it's an MCU Disney fan. Not really, some of them work, some of them don't. Lately, a lot of them haven't been working. The Disney plus TV shows are embarrassing. They're mostly all garbage. But early Marvel was fantastic. I'm pretty sure a lot of people lined up to see Endgame. I'm pretty sure a lot of people loved Spider-Man No Way Home. I wasn't even in that camp. I thought it was good, but I thought there was a lot of bad parts to that movie. Yeah, so attacking me for liking certain films from the past is just, it's a non-starter. It's silly. Everybody likes, every single person likes a movie that other people don't. And if you say that you don't, you're not one of those people, you're lying to yourself. I'm sure you have a film that maybe you haven't even said aloud that you're embarrassed by, that you think, man, this movie's great. Why did it only get 30% on Rotten Tomatoes?  Think of the Snyder fans that you've insulted because you didn't like one of their movies or the Sonic fans.    I don't care is the thing.  I'm just here to talk about a movie and you can debate me and we can have a back and forth or you can just simply listen, shake your head and know and walk away or don't look at all because spoiler, I was nice enough to put on my title, I don't like this movie. I didn't welcome Godzilla fans in with open arms. I pushed them away, I repelled them, but they came. That's not my fault. Number four, he may not have watched the film. This is what someone put on YouTube. And this is, again, I picked comments that there were lots of and these aren't the mean ones.   He may not have watched the film. This is just racing to be the first negative review. Super weak. I watched the film. I think I've proven that. If you still don't believe me. I don't know what to say. I want to stay vague. I don't want to give away the ghost.  I'll go as far as that. Okay, another one here. Honestly, I just watched his opening statement comparing it to 98 and that was enough. That guy is a troll saying controversial stuff to drive engagement to his channel. Roger Moore also gave it a poor review. And though I disagree with his opinion, I'm familiar with that reviewer. And I'm sure that was his legitimate review, but this guy is more of a YouTuber than a reviewer. I grew up, yeah, okay. I've already, again, I kind of covered this so I don't really need to go into it. I do agree with them. Roger Moore is a better critic than me. He's a better movie critic than me. And I say that with respect to Roger Moore. This is his thing. This is what he's been doing his whole life. He definitely is more knowledgeable about movies than I am. I don't claim to be an expert movie critic. There's a lot of movies I haven't seen that are kind of timeless classics. I've never seen Taxi Driver, for instance. I have a lot of people in my community that get very upset when I tell them I haven't seen a specific movie.  Watch this movie. I just watched Point Break for the first time. I had never seen Point Break and I loved it. I thought it was great. And there's a lot of movies I've seen. The whole lot of movies I've seen, I have a pretty big depth of knowledge when it comes to films, but I don't pretend to be like, oh yeah, this 1940s film is black and white classic with so and so in it that was made on a budget of $7 and a stick of gum. Yeah, that's a great one. No, that's not me. That's not me. All right, here's another. Well, let me go to Superchats before I get through the rest of these. What do we got here? This is from Shadow Humor again for $5. He's really upset about my Godzilla slander, I should say. Godzilla is stronger than Kong.  That's true. That's true. I actually don't even know who won that fight. I think at the end of the day, we were all winners, right?  I know I finished it, but I couldn't tell you who won the fight. Wasn't Mechagodzilla in there at one point? So they're both like, oh, let's fight him instead. Oh God, these movies. Username for $2.79, thank you username. BVS is still the best film of all time, Hale Snyder. In Lord Snyder, these guys trust. I don't know if he's silly. If he's joking with this, he put it in all caps, which typically means you're serious. BVS is not good. I was actually, I think nicer on BVS than a lot of people. I thought it was a complete shit show, but I did see some of the pros in it. Again, I wouldn't have scored it a positive on Ron Tomatoes. I don't think I was certified at the time that movie came out. That would have been a rodent for me for sure, but it wasn't all bad. Snyder is really good with the camera. I will always respect Snyder as a filmmaker, as a cinematographer. I think he's top notch. What I don't like about Snyder is his writing. I think when he writes movies, it's a complete disaster. The guy needs to direct, get his face behind that camera and keep shooting because he does it well. Master Sergeant for $5. Thank you, Master Sergeant. Good job. I don't see how the haters who might have stayed to watch this can still be extremist against you. Keep being Adam Integrity. Oh, I'm sorry. Keep being Adam Integrity. Keep being Adam Integrity. That's what I've been known as my whole life. Oh, there's Adam Integrity walking down the street. Yeah, I don't know. It looks like there's a lot of people watching still and it's definitely not the usual people watching. So I do hope that I'm clarifying a little bit. I don't know. I get really passionate about movies. I just don't get worked up to the point where I start kind of throwing insults at other people. But I see the passion at least. I can appreciate the passion. It's what's happening with it that I disagree with. Mississippi Wildlife, $5, super chest. Thank you. Adam doesn't have to like the movie, get over it. Yeah, that's well said. That's fair. Joseph Blasco for $5. Thank you, Joseph. Gotta say I had no idea that fire-breathing bastard had such an army happy for him. I don't, I don't actually know what that means.  Did I miss something? I'm not sure what that's in reference to. Is this a Godzilla thing? I mean, he emits gamma radiation. Oh, that is what you mean. Okay, I see. The Godzilla army of fans, of super fans. Yes, Joseph, I'm with you now. I had, it took a moment to click. Shadow humor, $5. The Matrix Reloaded is one of the best action movies of all time. I agree with you, sir. I agree with you. Matrix Reloaded? Oh man, this is one of my favorite parent moments of all time. A couple of years ago, my daughter's 14 now, but when we watched The Matrix, I think she was probably 12. Yeah, I want to say 12. I was like, Olivia, we got to watch The Matrix movies. My son is a few years younger. So I did this with him separately when he got older. He's now 11, he's 11. So we got to Burritos. We came to the house and her and I sat on the couch.  And then we did it again the next day with Reloaded and then we did it the next day with Revolutions and she loved all of them. I'm not big on revolutions. I have calmed on it over the years. It's still the worst easily for me and we don't talk about four. Matrix Four is absolute dung. But I mean, that trilogy is special to me. I love it. And Matrix Reloaded, yeah, that's got a lot of good action. We got one more from Dunkin Donuts. Ooh, but it's spelt a little different. I like that $10 super chat. I ain't gonna justify fans, but the whole tone in your review was in attack mode. So the few fans that did stumble across your review were also going to go in attack mode. Sorry this happened to you. Dunkin, I mean, I wholeheartedly disagree. I thought it was incorrect. I will agree with you that my intro was definitely pretty intense. Godzilla 98's schlocky, dumb, loud, bad characters, but I think I would rather watch that than Godzilla minus one. I will agree that that's a baller way to start a review, but also it's a way to hook people into listening to what I had to say. And I would truly rather watch the 98 movie again because it's at least schlocky, dumb, fun instead of a boring snorefest like Godzilla minus one was. For me. For me. But I don't think I was in attack mode the rest of the movie. I actually listened back to my review yesterday because I wanted to make sure that I didn't say anything like wildly up base. I was very nice. And I gave the movie a lot of compliments sprinkled into that 11 minute meander fest. There was plenty of compliments in there. And I said that a lot of Godzilla fans will be, I'm pretty sure I said a lot of Godzilla fans will be happy and they're not gonna listen to me. They don't need to listen to me. So I disagree with you. I was not in attack mode. You might just not, you know, you guys don't know me. A lot of people just came. They didn't even watch the review.  I can see the amount of people and how long they watched for a big chunk of people saw that title. They saw that thumbnail. They maybe watched 30 seconds and they just left a nasty comment and left. A lot of people from TikTok or from Twitter and you can see it in the comments. I didn't watch the review. Just came to give it a dislike. I didn't watch the review, but I'm excited to watch the fans scorch him and bury him and own him and do whatever to embody him. Get him removed from rod and tomatoes.  I'm reporting him to YouTube for hate speech. Give me a break. Kyle Nelson for $2. I am sofa king. We, we taught it? I am sofa king. We taught it. I don't know what that means. I am sofa king. We taught, I don't know, Kyle. Thank you for the $2. My reading comprehension might be off today. I'm not, I'm not getting it. Joseph Blasco for $2. Thank you, Joseph. I knew you would get there. Kyle Nelson, $5 Super Chat. JK, just changing the mood. Keep up the good work. Love the channel. Thank you, Kyle. Making my friend for $2. These comments prove we're doomed. It's a movie. It is. It's a movie. And Joseph, once again, gifting, one Adam does movies membership to one lucky viewer on the channel. Okay, let's move on. Okay, number six here. This is one that a few people said. It's weird how you liked, actually no one else said this, but this person, but I thought this was a good point. It's weird how you liked Oppenheimer, but not this. I feel like you need the same media literacy to like both.  So I found Oppenheimer to be a fascinating character study on a horrific time period where different countries are at war in the science field to see who can come up with the most deadly disgusting device on the planet to wipe each other out potentially. It had a awesome pace to it. I was constantly on the edge of my seat. Nolan is a master at playing with music and timing it with dialogue. And he just, he made something that seems so kind of like lame, I guess. Just a lot of characters talking in rooms, 12 angry men style and moving you along through this narrative. I also like that he kind of plays with time in his movies. So it's not super linear. There's ways to keep you interested without boring you. And I never found myself bored in Oppenheimer. I was on my, I was on the edge of the seat the whole time. The craft was on display and it was just, it was a brilliant film. Again, Godzilla minus one had a lot of these elements and they could have worked, but they didn't work for me. They just, they didn't, it didn't have enough. The dialogue in Godzilla minus one is not witty. A lot of the characters are honestly the same cliche characters you see in pretty much all of these disaster movies.  You have the scientist who is trying to convince the group that this needs to be done and it's extreme and it's not gonna, or it's gonna work. There was actually a really, I thought cheesy section of the film where the scientist is like, listen, this can work. And the guy's like, well, how is it like a for sure gonna work? And the guy's like, I can't say for sure. And then the dude's like, oh, what are we gonna do? And all I'm thinking is, dude, what's your suggestion? You have nothing. The scientist is coming up with this kakamemi scheme, but at least he's got something and it doesn't just stop with one exchange. It goes back and forth several times. We was like, yeah, but are you for sure this is gonna work?  Nothing is 100% in life. And there were a bunch of parts like that where the dialogue was just, it didn't feel organic. It felt just kind of schlocky.  I didn't like it. I didn't like it. Number seven, a day late. Okay, this is another comment from YouTube. A day later, and I'm still really irritated by this review.  I'm unsubscribed. If you can't see any of the good things about this movie, I can't take him seriously.  These are some of the strongest characters in this type of movie. I don't think he was ever subscribed, but I can't. I really don't know how I could prove that. I don't care to look. I just, usually when they say like, I'm unsubscribed from you, I typically go, okay, well, how like one movie review and that's it, you're out. Like, oh, I was with them on all these other ones, but this is the one that broke the camel's back. This is the one that did it. Not happy about being robbed, it's perfect score. Are we five? You really need this movie to sit at 100%. What does that get you? Participation award?  And I hope that some of these comments are from younger people. And this can be kind of like a dad talking to his kids scenario where I'm just saying like, listen, it's an arbitrary number on a website. It's nothing. If you love the movie, you love the movie. That's great. Guess what? 98% or 97% is freaking fantastic. I don't know if there's even, is there any movies that are at 100% Ron Tomatoes? I don't know. Maybe there is.  You're not gonna see a movie at 100% that's got 400 critics on the thing. It's just not gonna happen. And if it does, you're talking about like a one in a million. Maybe I'm wrong.  But I just have a feeling that's not the case. Number eight, the movie was great and definitely one of the best Godzilla movies ever, if not the best. That's perfectly fair to say. This is a very odd review. It's so weird to be extremely impressed by the trailer to come out of the movie thinking it sucked. When the specific movie was the one, the rare, this is a mess. When this specific movie was one of the rare movies that pretty much delivered on the trailer, I disagree. The trailer I saw showed nothing of the story. It only showed Godzilla destroying stuff. That was the movie presented to me. And that doesn't even matter. So what if a trailer hoodwinked me and this was a drama, the drama didn't work.  One that comes to mind right away. And this is one that I know. And this is another one where I was in the minority on the opposite side. I freaking love Speed Racer. I know that that's maybe an awful stance to take. But I love Speed Racer. I think this movie is so unique and I'm not even a fan of the anime original. I just dug it. I love the colors. I love the vibrancy. I love the speed of it. I love the emotion behind it. It just had a lot of heart and it had a lot of fun. And it all kicked in. I love it. I've seen it probably seven times. I think it just sounds awesome. It's like a Mario Kart film on speed.  I don't actually know what my point was. Oh, the trailers looked terrible for Speed Racer. They looked atrocious. One on the other end, I thought the trailer for, what is that movie? It's a book. Oh, now I'm gonna forget the name of it. Where the Wild Things Are.  Very emotional, beautiful score. And the movie was so sluggish, so boring, so pointless. People love that movie too. I did not like that movie. And the trailer, I thought, presented something else. Or at least it hooked me into thinking it was gonna be a little bit more exciting, a little bit more adventurous, a little bit more dramatic than it was. Okay, so yeah, you're just completely wrong. A lot of trailers get it right or get it wrong in my opinion, but that's so weird. What a weird thing to say. I can't believe he loved the trailer. How do you not like the movie? That's crazy. And also to mention again, to reiterate for the 50th time, I gave Godzilla minus one a good amount to compliments. Basically everything but the story worked for me and some of the characters being over the top or a little bit much in my opinion. Okay, here's another comment. You admitting that you prefer the 98 version better than minus one speaks volumes.  Favorite band, let me guess. Three Doors Down or Sister Hazel? Go get them, pal. Enjoy your white toast and khaki pants. I actually think this comment's funny. That's why I put it in there. I don't really, I don't have any problem with this one. I think it's kind of funny. I don't like Three Doors Down. The Superman song I thought was annoying or Kryptonite, not a fan. I never liked that song. Sister Hazel, I don't actually know. I've heard the name of the band before but I don't know what they sing. I'm sure if you played some Sister Hazel I would know and probably be like, oh, that's fine. But no, they're not favorite bands. Favorite bands of mine, maybe basic for some people. I really like Jimmy World. I was a big fan of Jimmy World when I was in college and they've kind of stuck with me. Some of their newer stuff's not very good. Billy Talent I think is a great rock band. They're from Canada. Canada's got a lot of good bands. Our Lady Pieces from Canada. They used to have some banger albums. Their new stuff is garbage. But their first, their early stuff, their first like five albums are really good. And Billy Talent, I think they're just awesome. I like a lot of hard rock, metal, whatever you want to call it, classified. Metallica obviously, not the newer stuff but everything but the like last couple albums. Metallica, Megadeth, I like, we don't have to keep going down this rabbit hole. Like Linkin Park. I'm a big Linkin Park fan. That's probably as basic as it gets. Linkin Park and Fight Club, about as white as a guy can get. And that's okay. I like what I like. And that's probably why it's a cliche. Let's see if there's any more super chats. Did I dip Mickey's here for $2? These comments prove we're doomed. It's a movie. I think I got that one but just to make sure, thank you Mickey. I think I got the gifted membership from Joseph. Thank you, Joseph. Oh, fix your hair says Lord GMK. What's wrong with my hair? Is it long or is it just, I mean, I don't know what to do. My hair grows really freaking fast. I just, it's really hard. And dropping 50 bucks a haircut, that's a bit much. I used to buzz it when I was young, when I was in, when I first started the channel, you can see some older videos and I looked just hideous more so with the shaved head. It's not a good look on me. And I did it for many years and my wife claims she liked it but I just, I don't know why she would think that. Yeah, my hair is not great today. I just, I don't know what to say. I do have Invisalign to fix my jagged teeth at the bottom. I try to hide it as much as possible, but it's a mess. I'm on day five of Invisalign. It's not going great. And I have to do this for like a year. I have them out right now but I still have like the studs in my teeth. It's just terrible. Messaging me here. Okay, let's keep going. Fix your hair. Master Sergeant for $2, here's fine. I'm bald now at 51. Okay, okay.   I don't know what any of that means. Thanks Kyle for $2. All right, we're going to wrap this up. I don't really think I have much more to say. Yeah, that was about it. I don't need to read anymore. I said enough. I hope that that was a little bit more illuminating. Maybe not. I'm not, I'm not going to bring this up anymore. I think that I said everything I need to say.  This guy was being genuine. He just don't like a movie I liked and that's fine. Yeah, any, any more final thoughts? Feel free to let me know in the super chat. We'll move on with our lives and we'll get past this. Joseph asking, you twitching tonight? He asked for $2. No, I'm not going to jump on Twitch tonight. It's getting pretty late. This went longer than I thought it was going to. Honestly, thank you for the question and for the super chat. No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna call it an early night. It's been a long last couple of days. Just work's been really busy. Not because of this stuff. Work's been, been very busy. It's been a crazy week. What's coming up on the channel? I do have to do two roasts for Star Wars The Last Jedi and the Matrix four. Those movie roasts are going to be coming out hopefully before the end of Christmas still, the end of the holidays. Otherwise I have a review coming up for Silent Night. I think it's called the new John Wooflick.  The trailers for this did not do anything for me. It looks kind of, kind of bad, I think. But maybe, and this happens, the trailer will surprise, or the movie will surprise me and the trailer will have been off. And that's cool. I think it's at around 60 some percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Clearly it's a little bit more torn with the critics. And we'll see. I plan on getting that review out maybe Saturday afternoon, maybe Sunday. All right, that's all I got for you. Thank you guys so much for watching and listening. Godzilla fans, I'm glad you love the movie. I truly am glad you love the movie. That's all I have to say. Take care.


We're talking health now. The Niger Centre for Disease Control and CDC says 60 people evacuated from Ukraine have tested positive for COVID-19. The agency said the new cases pushed a number of nearly daily infections to 118. Now the new cases were reported mainly in the capital of Buja and in Lagos. Earlier, Niger had reported only two new infections this week, the lowest daily figure ever since the outbreak reached here in 2020. Now the World Health Organization had warned that the Russian-Ukrainian war may result in undetected transmission of COVID-19. More than 700 Nigerians have returned home from Ukraine as the government hopes to evacuate approximately 5,000 citizens.


Family Minute with Mark Merrill helping families love well This is pure Opelka with Michael Pellka only on the blaze radio network All right, you're listening to your own book filling in from Michael Pellka Mike will be back tomorrow tomorrow. I've enjoyed this gig Maybe maybe he'll let me fill in again. We'll see. All right We're talking about good stuff. We're talking about the positives. We're talking about positive stories airline prices declining lots more options Traveling all over the world going to unknown places unknowable places just a few Years ago, maybe a few decades ago. We're talking about the decline in crime the increase in life expectancy We haven't even talked about technology right 1990. There's no internet. I remember in 1990 just starting to use email Right in within the university system. You had email Can you imagine life without email and texting and and Google and Amazon? How do we how did we buy stuff? Without Amazon. I don't know. I have no idea Technology's just blown this world up. It's just amazing how much good stuff we have today because of technology The access we have that the supercomputers we have in our pockets our iPhones of samsung's or whatever you happen to use You know the fact that I can do the show On the internet Anybody in the world can listen Anytime it can be stored online at a cost of basically zero and People can access it globally anywhere in the world at a cost of Zero I mean The internet is a revolution that puts the shame the printing press in terms of its potential to change the world And it's all happened Recently, right the first browser was what 1994 or six. I always get those two mixed up Right. I remember using Netscape having to pay 75 bucks to use it now. Not only do we have all the stuff? Most of it's free. It's it's you know, it's pretty amazing. You could have the blaze radio the blaze TV Even 10 years ago You know, you couldn't do it And yet today you've got the blaze and then you've got all the competition Anybody can start at a relatively low cost relatively low cost It's it's amazing the options that we have the possibilities we have think of now Netflix you can sit today on your sofa Watch almost every movie ever made not quite but a lot of movies more movies that you haven't you existed You don't have to go out on your sofa with click of a few buttons You don't even have to get up and change channels on your television. How many of you remember that? Very few huh only a few as old as I am changing channels with your hand having to get up every time you want to change a channel I mean whoa Life is much better Now with remote control Every piece of music if you have music streaming service at a very low cost You can access pretty much every piece of music that has ever been produced from Your So for in your living room It's amazing. I mean the advancements with technologies are stunning and And we're getting to the point where a lot of this technology is gonna play into health care If we have the necessary conditions get a plan to health care They're gonna be able to do gene splicing. They're gonna be able to eradicate many of the genetic diseases that we have maybe even You know before we're born But suddenly the treatments are gonna improve a life expectancy should go through the roof in the next few decades If we have the right conditions for it. I mean whoa We should be celebrating how good life is right now There's this technology gene splicing technology called crisp. Don't ask me what it actually does But it's amazing. They can change genes. They can they can they can go into your genetic code and change it. That is so cool so cool and and by the way more proof of Evolution right The whole way in which these genes work is is confirmation of what Darwin believed in That is so cool. It's just science is so cool and we were discovering so much more particularly in biology about You know about ourselves and about How to make our lives even better? You know, so it's there's a lot of good stuff in the world a lot of good stuff in the world and You know think about how much time you spent today online now some people think that's bad But I mean the amount of information you have access and your phone and your computer pretty much to all of human knowledge from Pretty much the beginning of time again, who would have thunk Pretty amazing pretty amazing life is pretty amazing life is to be Celebrated and to be enjoyed and the good stuff should be the headline Because that is what is dominant we live good lives. There's a lot of bad stuff and the good lives are being threatened but It's the good that's important in the world and if we emphasize the positive if we emphasize the good and Most importantly if we learn the cause of the good Then we can better fight for it. Then we can better assure that the future is even better than the present Is even better than the present. I mean it really is hard. How many of us thought? 30 years ago 40 years ago About the possibilities of the internet I didn't I don't know about you guys and I was Programming 30 years ago. I was in the computer world, right? I was I was doing some programming. I took some computer science Courses and so I was somewhat dabbling in that world You could say I couldn't have predicted any of the stuff I have today any of it And that was only 30 years ago Imagine what is possible 30 years from now that we're not predicting And I even talked about uber, right uber. I mean soon we're not many of us young people today don't even have cars They just uber everywhere. I mean that's so cool and cheap and efficient Right and who would have imagined uber? I mean I remember when ebay first came out I said you got to be crazy. Nobody's gonna make money on that. Nobody's gonna use ebay That was I wrong I've been so wrong when it comes to the internet It's pretty amazing It's pretty amazing So just imagine imagine It's hard hard to imagine what it's going to be like in 30 years from now or what it's going to be like 100 years from now If we sustain the conditions that allow For that kind of growth If we can sustain them So, um Things are good And what I want to do what I want to do is after after this break, we're going to take a break in a few seconds I want to shift to talk about why What is it that makes good stuff possible? What is it that makes Progress possible? What is it that has brought people out of poverty? What is it that's created this technology? What is it that makes all these good things? Possible and if we can understand that and if we can know that and then start fighting for that I think we have a bit of chance of winning and sustaining The improvement sustaining the growth sustaining You know the quality and the improved quality of life that we have. All right Uh, you're listening to your own book. I'm uh Here filling in for michael pelka at least until tomorrow and um We're gonna take a short break now and we'll be right back after this Pure apelka with michael pelka All right, uh, so we'll be talking about How good things are All about the good news and and haven't even touched the surface really there's so much more And hey, if you want to if you want in on the discussion about good stuff<PHONE_NUMBER> we'd love to hear examples from your life Or examples that you know about about how life has improved dramatically even over the last 30 years We're we're if you read books if you read articles if you read everything Everybody tells you uh things are just awful things are just depressing if you watch the news if you if you look Anyway, it just looks like the world is falling apart and everything is just Is just horrible Well, we're gonna be contrarians here. So if you want in you want to let me know how your life has been better<PHONE_NUMBER> Um, but the real question is why? Why are things improving? Uh, why have things improved and and the largest improvement in human war being Occurred during the 19th century the largest improvement of human war being Occurred during the industrial revolution where we went from being You know basically life expectancy of in the 30s dirt poor subsistence farmers eating Everything we consumed or sorry eating everything we produced Having no surplus no vacations No time off No recreation Nothing that was the 18th century and before Three dollars a day somewhere around that was was incoming today's dollars was income of Almost everybody on the planet Everybody living in poverty everybody on the planet 90 plus percent of all people in the planet living in poverty To by the end of the industrial revolution in western europe and the united states Basically most people being rich in comparison to what it existed before electricity running water the beginnings the beginnings of airflight Technology all these things are starting that that's the biggest jump In human war being the biggest leap now we've seen a huge leap over the last 30 years Because places like asia have benefited from all the knowledge and all the success of the of the west and have implemented very very quickly Um and and the results are astounding astounding over there.  And i think the best way To look at this you can look at it historically And and and you'll get a kind of a political answer and a political answer is important But there's a more fundamental answer in that and uh answer and that's To look at your own life Look at your own life and ask the question What makes my life better What improves my life When the things get better when the things get worse What are the principles by which I can evaluate just from introspecting over my life Even if you're young you can do this What can I do introspecting to my own life to tell Whether things You know what causes things to improve and what causes things to decline What causes things to to for me to be able to get a better job to make more money To live a better life just broadly what things do I do as an individual That impact my life one way or the other and and can I Generate any principles from this and the answer is yes you can and the best way to learn about the world Is to look at lots of examples and integrate that and and and figure out the principle behind them And and if you look at your own life If you introspect about again the good stuff and the bad stuff what you discover is that You know, well, I'll ask you What leads to good stuff when do you succeed? And when do you fail is there a principle to all the times where you succeeded And to all the times when he failed well, let's start with the failure What leads to individual failure when Do we fail And I would I would suggest this I would propose this that human failure Is always a consequence Failure that is self-generated not failure where somebody else comes and clubs you over the head And your life's a failure because they just basically killed you or maimed you or whatever, but when it's self-inflicted When it's self Failure that sustained sometimes we fail and then we learn from their failure and we grow from the failure But real failure What leads to it And and I think you can see universally you can see in almost every case you can see it across the board Failure is a result of acting on emotion not thought Acting on emotion letting our emotions Dictate truth letting our emotions Dictate action. That's when we fail We fail When we don't Think it through We fail When we don't consider All the aspects all the consequences of a decision and action that we take on Failure almost always is there When reason is absent When rationality is absent or limited Failure is there predominantly when people act on emotion Act on whim act without thinking Failure is there when people evade when people don't consider everything purposefully When they look away because the facts might be uncomfortable That is what leads To failure to disappointment to depression to failure in life What leads to success when you look around the world? Or around your name around your industry Who are the successful people the most successful people now? I know some people are gonna say luck But when you actually examine people's lives, yeah luck plays some role I you know the best example of this is is is the lottery, right? There's this big lottery jackpot 750 million dollars You could win it What happens to most people who win the lottery? It turns out study after study show that they live miserable pathetic lives That they lose a lot of the money that they don't enjoy it That that they land up handing it out to distant relatives Or they just invested badly and they lose it or they keep it But they're just miserable because it turns out that money doesn't buy you happiness not completely Money in and of itself buy zero happiness, you know what buys happiness Making money producing stuff Earning it That's what leads to happiness So if you look at successful people, it's not about luck luck is fleeting Luck doesn't give you the satisfaction Of truly earning And if a luck is not what leads to success again, you can be rich But not successful because success is not about money Success is not about prestige Success is about happiness. It's about fulfillment. It's about flourishing That's what real success at life is It's about living a good life Enjoying it Without conflict without stress, you know stress a healthy stress but without You know this internal constant conflict Iron man called happiness the state Of non-contradictory joy where you're joyous and there's no Conflict within that is oppressing that joy. So it's not the joy of Oh, I won the lottery. Yay It's a joy of I've lived a good life I've made my life good. I've made some money. I've lived well One minute if you look at people who are really successful people who are truly successful What has led to that success what leads to a life of happiness a life of sustained Non-contradictory joy What makes it possible what makes it possible to innovate what makes it possible all the good in the world? Where does it actually actually come from if The negative is true If a lot of the stress a lot of the pain a lot of the failure comes from emotion Where does the success where does the innovation where does progress? Where does the highest standard of living Come from where does the decline 15 come from they all come from the same place. All right You're listening to your own book filling in from Mike Appelka and We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back after these messages. All right. You're listening to your own book filling in from Mike and Um We are talking good news today strange topic to do on the radio strange topic to cover in this era of all negative news and Just talk about the bad stuff and you know, we're gonna we're gonna have some negative stuff to say But I think it's it's important to put perspective on these things and to realize how good life is So you can live it you can live it if you're depressed all the time if things are always Very very negative It's hard to really enjoy life and I'm all for enjoying life. I'm for happiness. I'm a huge proponent of happiness. All right. Um Megan is on the line. She wants to talk about infant mortality. Hey, Megan Hi, you're on. Thanks for taking my call. Sure. Um, I'm a long time listener. It's such a fan Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all of you do. I I have some idea of how hard you work I'm grateful I when you were talking about the positives of the world we live in today the first thing I thought about was My the most wonderful one-year-old daughter Of mine and you know when I was when I was about reaching my due date I expressed some nervousness about going into labor and my co-workers said, oh, you know women have been having babies for a long time and Um, sorry for the background noise and I said, yeah, but they mostly died. Yep. It's amazing like even 200 years ago Most childbirth ended in the death of either the mother the child or both. I mean 75 percent of kids You know never saw the age of five And I'm I look at my beautiful daughter and I'm so grateful I live in an era where there's all kinds of medication and um and procedures to make sure that she was safe and healthy and Um and thriving Absolutely. I mean the number one cause of death for women was childbirth I mean Many many women or a huge percentage of women didn't survive it And never and of course sometimes the baby did survive. Sometimes the baby didn't survive, but it The progress we've made Is astounding and we and that's great a great example when we look at our children You know, we should say wow Thanks for progress You know, thanks so for medical progress. Thanks for the progress and walk.  You've got nurses. You've got doctors. Uh, you've got uh surgical procedures. You've got all these Uh, the this technology available to you that's going to keep you alive That's going to keep the baby alive. That's going to keep you both healthy not just alive And and that the chances of a child Being born and then dying before the age of 10 are minimal today in the in in america And in in the western world and even in the rest of the world now Uh, really minimal and and you can enjoy your children for a long long time. I mean that that's massive. That's huge That's huge Great. Thanks. Megan. Thanks for calling yet. Yeah, go ahead. Thank you. Thanks for listening It still happens. We there's still still birth. There's still women who die in childbirth and it's tragic every time And fortunately that's much much much less the case now than even 100 years ago Yeah, and and the fact that it still happens in the united states is is I think a travesty and the fact that there's still people Who live in such poverty or get such bad healthcare as as some people do in the united states Is sad and a travesty And and the cause of that in my view is is the degree to which we've socialized medicine In this country if you have private insurance In the us and and if you have a a vibrant competitive insurance market And uh, you're the best healthcare in the world, but unfortunately We have created a healthcare system. There's probably so many people out of the market because of so much government intervention Into our healthcare system. Megan. Thanks for calling It is uh, you know I really appreciate uh, I really appreciate you listening And it makes it easier for me to do what I do when I get positive feedback. Uh, thank you. So thank you All right, we've got uh, let's say we got dave on the line From portland, oregon.  How are you ron? Can you hear me? Yes, I can Oh, great. Great. Yes, uh, yeah, I wanted to weigh in on the uh, the positive things, uh on the call here and The the two things that I wanted to share are uh, one is I've been studying objectivism since 2014 and You know, I definitely consider myself a work in progress, but but both, you know, personally and professionally It's made a huge difference in my life and um So thank you for that and brilliant the The the second thing is um, I'm a music teacher And something that technologically does made a huge difference is a video conferencing for me. Um, you know as an artist, you know Inspiration, I think is so key. I'm mostly a teacher. I I'm not performing as much these days. I'm mostly teaching Um, but it's afforded me the opportunity to study with like some of the best people in the world Wow, uh by video conference No, absolutely that that's amazing and that's true of every profession we can now We can now take classes from superstar teachers who can actually make money By providing education online Uh, they're not limited to by what universities pay or what schools pay They can actually deliver education to mass audiences or to selective audiences who will need to pay a lot of money Because these teachers are so good So it's it's it's it's an incredibly exciting time When you look at technology and you look at what technology makes possible Yes, as a matter of fact, I was just sending a thank you email looking forward to a coming conference This sunday and I thought man, I've got to give your on a call and We're always good to hear from you Dave. Thanks for listening. Thanks for calling in and and absolutely I mean there's another whole way in which we're using and going to use The internet to educate ourselves to you know, put aside the the benefits of education I could be traveling anywhere in the world Or Megan could be traveling anywhere in the world. My my kids are too big To talk to me while i'm traveling but Megan would be traveling anywhere in the world and she could communicate with her young daughter by uh, you know by the internet by Skype or some other software, right? You know, what do you call the the facetime on on the phone and and and have a real I exchange even if you're 10,000 miles away I mean, how cool is that when I when my kids were little and I traveled I could talk to them on the phone, but the phone is just not the same It's video conferencing particularly with little kids. So yeah, I mean the technology makes our lives So much better and we we take it for granted and we don't appreciate it And again, I want to turn to the question What makes it possible where does it come from? So we just talked about what What where bad decisions come from Where where the negative in our lives come from I want to turn after this quick break We're going to take to where all the good stuff comes from where progress comes from but we're in our own lives success achievement and ultimately happiness comes from All right, you're listening to your own book Filling in for Michael pelka and we're going to be right back after these messages You're listening to pure opelka with Michael pelka Part of the next generation of talk radio on the blaze radio network Well, you still got another hour so with your own brook filling in for opelka. He'll be back tomorrow and we're talking about Where does all this good stuff come from? How do we get it? But you know, that's kind of on a societal level, but evil isn't even as individuals What is the origin of success now people people say well liberty and freedom and capitalism But where do those come from that's not self-evident How do we get capitalism? What is the thing and capitalism is not responsible for my personal success? I mean the fact that I live in a relatively free country suddenly is but what made it possible for me to succeed in this free country where other people don't Is it just IQ? Is it my genes? As some would have us believe Is it the fact that I grew up in a I don't know in a particular household with particular parents in a particular environment Is that what led to my success Or anybody's success No, if you respect and you think about when you were successful in life and when you fail We talked about what causes failure following emotion evading Not thinking things through what leads to success is the opposite in a sense. It's thinking It's using your mind. It's using your reason It's getting the facts before you make a decision Thinking it through and integrating if you suspect that you need more facts going out and getting them Not evading not evading reality not evading your own emotions not evading who you are not evading who other people are facing reality dealing With reality as it is As compared to dealing with reality as you want it to be as you wish it would be Dealing in reality as the way you would emotionally like it to be. No dealing with reality as it is Challenging yourself intellectually Not i'm not talking about your math problems. I'm talking about day-to-day stuff using your mind and applying them to everything that you do What leads the success in life What leads the progress in technology what leads to reduced Child mortality what leads To more airlines going to more airports in the world what leads to increased in wealth What leads to decline in poverty what leads to success period Is the human mind is the application of human reason to whatever problem you have whatever problem You face or your neighbor's face or humanity's faces its Reason it's thinking it's production and production is what production is Taking your ideas and applying them in reality taking science And trying to use that science to create something that didn't exist before call that technology call that Manufacturing call that industrialization But that's what the industrial revolution did is it came after the scientific revolution, but it required a massive amount of thinking a rational actors free To think and then free to act on their thinking to take those scientific principles and apply them To the problems that they saw all around them and to making life easier and making life better and making life longer Human thought human rationality human reason is what leads to all the good in the world It will leads to good in your life If you stop if you think if you consider if you evaluate if you integrate If you examine Nationally the world around you the problems you face you will do fine You know barring accidents barring things you cannot predict You will do fine If you evade if you are moat if you're a wind worshipper if you just go after stuff For the sake of having stuff You will suffer you will not be successful. You will not Do well in life you will not Achieve happiness, which is the ultimate goal in my view So if we to venerate anything It's we must venerate reason I mean think about All the benefits we have gotten from science all the all the all the All the stuff we have around us that is a product of science and engineering there. It's obvious But think about our relationships with other people Our relationships with other people improve When we think about what we're doing and think about how to do it Or do they improve when we just go by our feelings? In every aspect of our lives Thinking makes one minute better Using reason makes us better reason the human mind a faculty of Observing reality understanding it integrating it into new knowledge Thinking conceptually in in every realm of life That is the way in which we survive As human beings we cannot survive as a species unless we think 30 and that is the way in which our life improves That is the way in which we achieve things both financially and spiritually The thing we have the most important faculty we have the one that makes it possible for us to survive and thrive Is our mind is our reason. All right We're gonna talk more about this in a kind of political environment that you need to create to allow reason to thrive Five come back four


Hello everyone, welcome back to another chat GPT tutorial on this one. I've got some crazy news that I wanted to share with you. I just saw it on the search engine journal.com. Here's the thing, Microsoft, especially Microsoft being their search engine that really like nobody uses unless you show up there by accident. Well, here's the thing. It's going to be integrating the chat GPT back and in fact, it's going to be coming at the end of March of 2023 or next year. So we're looking at like not even three months. If they're on time and it's on track, guys, this is an amazing development. They just so you guys know, Microsoft invested a billion dollars into open AI who created chat GPT a billion with a B and they did that in 2019. And since then, they've been working on ways to integrate chat GPT into the new program. Also, chat GPT for is apparently under beta work right now. They're testing the beta and it might coincide with the launch of this. There's no guarantee on that, but it's looking pretty awesome. So there's the news for the day. Chat GPT is coming to Bing and Bing is going to take on Google. Let's see what happens.
