Where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Here we are, listener Q&A. Hi, Mike D is joining me this weekend. What's up? Hey, what's up? Like I didn't just talk to you for an hour, but, you know. Pretending like it's new. Hey. Fake it like you make it.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Make it till you make it. Dang. Word is hard. Okay. We got shoutouts to start. This is from Emily. She says, teeth. good Mike, keep smiling.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Mike's the best. I appreciate his vulnerability when he's on with you. That's from Jen in Southern California. I will say about the teeth. I debated whether or not fixing my other tooth, my other original tooth, because it has like a weird chip on it. Yeah, but it has character.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And I was like, I don't want to change it. Good, you shouldn't. And all the pain I went through to get just these on, I'm like, nah, I'm not doing that again. Yeah, you're like, I'm over all these. They're like, we could just add a little piece. I'm like, I'm good. I will say I did, I don't know what I did, but I did chip one of my front teeth, have no idea how. I don't know that I did chip my tooth. They're like, did you chip your tooth?
Starting point is 00:04:07 I was like, I don't think I did. I think I would remember that. I think either it like wore down weirdly because my teeth were so crooked that it like landed weird on another tooth. And over time it like looks like it's chip. But I think I would remember like busting my face and chipping a tooth. And I never did that. Yeah, you would think you'd remember some of it. But in all fairness, the chip tooth that I had, I didn't remember.
Starting point is 00:04:28 But they think I'm crazy because I'm like, I don't think I did. You don't remember chipping your teeth? I really don't. Oh, you're not crazy. I do think teeth can grow in all kinds of ways. I'm pretty sure orthodontists should know that, you know, that kind of forms. But they do look great and you should keep smiling. So those are good shoutouts.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Okay, Sandy in Texas, is Mike or his wife a Swifty? My wife is a huge Swifty. And I've kind of adopted it in a way just because it's like her favorite thing to talk about we went to the Taylor Swift album release party and I have I don't not like Taylor Swift but I don't actively seek out her music but because my wife is such a huge Swiftie I've listened to every song and I've listened to every new album. Oh that's so sweet she indulges you with Post Malone. Exactly. You indulge her with Taylor Swift. Yeah we both have our things that we're like super into and we even if they're not our favorite thing we kind of like try them out like she hates horror
Starting point is 00:05:28 but every now and then I can get her to watch one very rarely though I love this I'm really just picturing like Kelsey bright shiny things and you are like dark mysterious things and you guys like swap roles yeah like there are some things that I I've pulled her into that she's now a fan of and there are some things that like she's kind of got me on to okay and there's some places that we always meet like we always meet with superhero movies that is both like both of our thing even before we were together And then, like, I've adopted the Taylor Swift stuff more where if she were to come to town, I think I would go with her. Okay. This is a big move.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah. We like this. But she's, like, going to see Jonas Brothers, and I'm like, I don't think I could do that one. Can't go too far down the rabbit hole. Yeah, there's, like some that we can kind of meet in the middle. There's a band coming to town called AFI that I want to go see. And, like, she's like, that music stresses me out. You can go to that one.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Is that one of the Moshbit ones? Yeah. Okay. So there's, like, there's this balance that we. have of like there are some things that we meet each other on and some things that we just realize like that's a you thing. Hey and that's a beautiful marriage. I like it. What is your favorite game to prep or maybe least favorite? I would say least is probably easy trivia just because it's hard because there are so many questions and it's a game that I have to get completely right because any game on
Starting point is 00:06:48 this show, any little thing that's a little bit off where there could be a discrepancy is so hard to do. And I think it's the hardest with Easy Trivia because if you don't write the question exactly right where there's just one clear answer that it could be, there will be a fight. They would be like, well, it's technically this. Easy trivia is the hardest because we play it every week and have been playing it for so long. And it's hard to come up with new categories to not do the same questions over and over again. Yeah. That's the hardest. And also probably riddle me this because, again, that ambiguity thing.
Starting point is 00:07:22 because there's supposed to be kids riddles and technically with some of them there could be multiple answers but if you're answering it as an adult that's the reason you see it that way if you're asking to get to a kid it's like okay you're at it's a kid's riddle remember that it's supposed to be the easiest thing
Starting point is 00:07:39 and not like technically it could be this just like easy trivia it's supposed to be easy answers exactly and I think that's what trips people up is because sometimes the easiest thing seems like well it can't be that yeah those are hard and you you are right There have been multiple fights over a day. So every time we play easy trivia or riddle me this,
Starting point is 00:07:58 do you like hold your breath? Yeah, because I mean, I fact check them. I go back and look through them. But every now and then once you hear it and then you see somebody else take it in and it goes a way that you weren't expecting, it's like, oh, man, that's where it feels like I messed up here. But it's one that I'll go back, look at all the questions,
Starting point is 00:08:16 and still sometimes it's just like, oh, crap, I miss that. Or, oh, yeah, I could see how that could be taking a different way. Well, you are human and you're not AI, so that's why that happens. And then we just roll with it. And your favorite to do. I would say my favorite that we can't do anymore is music games. Yeah. Because those are always my favorite.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Like, I love anything with any kind of isolated vocal or anything, any music game, I feel like was always the most fun. Yeah. Because I think that brings a good vibe. But, yeah, we can't do those anymore. I know. That's such a bummer. How long does it take you to come up with games and trivia at each? week. This is from Ginny and Indiana. Speaking of games. I'd say easy trivia is probably
Starting point is 00:08:57 the thing is now, like I have like a steady, just giant file with a bunch of easy trivia questions that we don't get to. So I'm constantly adding to it. But I try to come up with anywhere between eight to ten new categories a week. That probably takes me a good 30-ish minutes. If I'm really creative that week, probably 45. Because lately I've been trying to go like really dial into some like specific genre or categories where it's like I have no idea why this is a genre and then you hear the questions and it makes sense just because I think that's that's fun well we had to add a little spice you know we were getting to the point where the same thing was happening so we had to add a little sprinkle to the party I like it any other games how long did those typically
Starting point is 00:09:41 take you I would say any other it kind of depends like I try to do that stuff earlier in my day where my brain is like functioning more on like, okay, I'm flowing here. So if I have an idea where it's so clear cut in my head, it could take me 20 minutes. If it's something where I'm kind of like scraping, I'm digging on YouTube, trying to find like weird games from like Australia that they play that we could adapt here. It could take me an hour. Okay. But I'd say if anything takes me more than an hour, it's probably not going to be good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:11 So if it comes quickly, you know it's going to be a good one. Usually, like, to really invest time into it, if it's not flowing within like 10 minutes of me working on the idea, it's probably not going to be a good game. I kind of feel like I've learned that from hearing people talk about, like, songs. Like, if it's something that they're like forced out and like just like not feeling it, it's probably not going to be a good song. The best songs are ones that they say just like fall out of them. Kind of the same thing with games. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:37 That makes sense. And that's fair. Like the best games I come up with are ones where I'm like, I'm already thinking. of the next question I want to write. And it's like, okay, I'm just constantly flowing here. This is going to be good. Yeah, the flow is always good for anything creative. If you have to do anything and you hit a brick wall,
Starting point is 00:10:53 throw it out. It's not good. There's so many games in my computer that I'm like, I've abandoned. We'll see like three questions and I'm like, either it's a good idea but not big enough for a game. Because if it can't go like five to seven rounds, it's just not worth it. And sometimes I'll hit such a specific thing,
Starting point is 00:11:12 but I have like three questions that are good. I'm like, ah, I can't use it. You're like a songwriter that has all their songs and their thing, but yours are all just games that have been abandoned. You're like, maybe one day I'll come back to that. Yeah, I'll sometimes just hear people say random things, and I'm like, I can turn that into a game. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:11:27 You don't have a game brain. That's what's been creative. We've been talking about some babies on the show lately, so does it make you want to start thinking about being the dad or maybe other things? This is from Nancy and North Carolina. Oddly it does. I think because seeing more people now in my 30s have kids and it wasn't an accident,
Starting point is 00:11:49 like changes your perspective on it. Wasn't an accident. Because I mean, I came from a county that had like the highest pregnancy rate in the entire nation where there were so many teen pregnancies in our town alone that we had like a nursery. And I think growing up that kind of changed my perspective on having kids because I would, introduced to it kind of that it was always an accident. Yeah. And it was seeing how it changed somebody's life that young.
Starting point is 00:12:19 And then over time, it is now changed until now where people are having kids and it's like, oh, this is a plain thing. Or it's, I have friends now in their 30s who have struggled having kids. And it's having an entirely different perspective on it. And I think it's seeing those people become parents that makes it feel a little bit more, I don't know, normal is the word? but just more attainable to me where I kind of see that
Starting point is 00:12:45 playing into my life now and seeing that like I want to experience like life from somebody else's perspective and all like those new things and that's kind of a new thing for me. Okay. That's exciting. I love it. I mean I think it's
Starting point is 00:13:03 you know anytime baby talk is part of it it just it makes you start thinking about a lot of things in your own life and what you do and what you don't want. So it's always fun when like a new. like a new thing kind of pops up and you're sitting there thinking like, oh, that's a new feeling. I'm not sure what that one is. That's had that one before.
Starting point is 00:13:19 And it's cool because that means you're living and all the opportunities you could ever possibly want are kind of in front of you. It's kind of the way that I see it. And so you can go any direction that you want. I think it's just because like what scared me about having kids is a lot of people just talk about the negative. And it wasn't, it hasn't been until really recently where I've seen the, you know, the, benefits of it or like the bright spots that I feel like sometimes people don't really sell it to you
Starting point is 00:13:46 and I was like, why don't you guys talk about that more? Yep. Yeah, all you do here, it's true. You hear from a lot of parents where I just how rough it is, how expensive it is, you know, all the downfalls of it. But there are, there's so many shining moments of it, but they definitely, they don't get highlighted in real life like they would on social media. Put it that way. Yeah. You more hear about all the bad things. And that's fair because at least it prepares you because you do need to be prepared for. for those things. I think it's for me, like, seeing people have older kids now, which is weird that, like, people I grew up with now have, like, teenagers. And I'm like, that's weird. But seeing them do things that are now, like, real human things, not just, like, kid things.
Starting point is 00:14:27 You're, like, kids are going to college and, like, doing actual things and, like, making waves. Like, this is weird. And that's, like, almost the end result of all that, like, the reward at the end of, like, seeing this kid you had now go on to be an adult in the world and change things. You don't really see that in the beginning stages. Yep, yep, that's very much true. Crazy. Okay, well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. You can have opinions.
Starting point is 00:14:54 You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans. show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, Ernest, what's up? Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship. From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never talk how money really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it. That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation.
Starting point is 00:16:27 If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner, earn your leisure is the podcast for you. Listen to Earn Your Leisure on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. If you are a founder or a freelancer or the friend who always says, hey, you know what, what if I started that? This is for you. I'm telling you I had nothing to my name. I didn't know a single person in New York.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And somehow I'm dressed by Oscar DeLorenta walking down that red carpet. This month, we sit down with entrepreneurs and creators who actually did it, who turned the scary leap into a business, a paycheck, and a life they are proud of. Direct center of our happiness or our regrets is whether or not we're taking action on the things that matter to us. They're not selfish. They're so important. They actually lead to our greatest contributions because when we're living fulfilled, we actually show up better everywhere. We lead better. We're better friends. We're better relationships and collaborators and all those things because we have passion about the things we're doing. If you're trying to build something of
Starting point is 00:17:28 your own this year, join us in these conversations that will make you braver and smarter with your money. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the I-HartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.
Starting point is 00:18:05 If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, It's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.
Starting point is 00:18:27 They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Kugler did that I think was so unique.
Starting point is 00:18:58 He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. The law a rousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.
Starting point is 00:19:18 It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual thing. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Naturally, we have to get into some movie questions every time. You know, movie Mike comes on, we need the expert. But before we get into the last three, which are all movies, Jen and North Carolina, she just got adult braces. She wants any pro tips or easy foods to eat.
Starting point is 00:20:01 It's the things you have to give up that are the hardest. You can't eat popcorn. You can't eat nuts. You can't eat sticky candy, which wasn't the hardest for me, but it's just the getting over, giving up those foods and realizing that I guess a good thing about adult braces is that you're an adult and you know better. You have free will. Yeah. Like where it was almost like when I went to get mine and they were telling me all the things not to do, they're not used to people following those rules. And I feel like they have to like get on the kids who come in and like, you broke this on your brace.
Starting point is 00:20:36 you haven't been laying attention to the rules. I'm like, this is expensive. And this is taking time out of my day. I'm going to do everything you tell me to do. I'm going to wear my retainer. I'm going to do all the things. Yeah, it's kids you're much more reckless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 You don't know the consequences of your actions, truly. You know the consequences are bothering your parents, but you don't quite have the impact on you. So that's true. What were some foods that were easy for you? Because I remember you had a lot of adjustments that were happening. Yeah, like, a hardest thing for me, because I'm not huge into sweets.
Starting point is 00:21:06 but like crunchy snacks, I had to, instead of popcorn, do popcorners, which is like kind of like a chip version of a popcorn, which is now like even that I don't have them on, I've been eating them for so long that that's like my go-to snack. And then I used to eat an apple every day, and I stopped doing that. Really? Yeah, because you couldn't eat them with braces. You could eat apples with braces.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You couldn't. You couldn't. You couldn't eat apples? An apple a day keeps a doctor away. Yeah. I mean, I guess technically you could. could probably cut it up. I guess it's not like biting directly into an apple, but I was so cautious that I was like,
Starting point is 00:21:42 I'm just not going to eat them anymore. I guess that makes sense biting into an apple, but I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I've like truly bit into an apple like that. I always used my little cutter that puts them all in slices. Yeah. I don't think I've eaten an apple like that since I, like, maybe first saw an apple. That's funny. Okay, favorite five, let me try it.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Let me try it. Let me try it. Favorite top five movies of all time from Monster. Favorite of all time, top five? Five, I'm going to go Twister because it's the movie I've seen the most. Probably have seen it 100 times. Not, not 100 times. Over 50 times.
Starting point is 00:22:15 So I've probably added a few. Give them five more years. He'll probably be up to 100. Yeah. Five is probably Twister. Four, I will go Lilo and Stitch, my favorite Disney movie of all time. I'm assuming the OG. The OG, the animated one.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Number three, I would probably go The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 1990. That movie was highly influential on me as a kid. I got to go and watch it in theaters for the first time this year. They did like a re-release for the 35th, hey, that 35 years old? That's an old movie for the 35th anniversary. And I got kind of emotional watching that. And it was a movie I love so much as a kid,
Starting point is 00:23:00 even though the movie itself really isn't. the kids movie. It's pretty violent. It's kind of dark because the original comic was like a darker, grittier comic. From one to two, they really changed the overall tone of the Ninja Turtles. But that first Ninja Turtles movie is still one of my favorites. And I feel like still holds up. I don't think I've ever watched it.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I don't know if it holds up if you're watching it for the first time. Okay. What I feel is timeless about it that I enjoy is that they use real animatronics for the turtles. where it's actual people in suits, but sometimes you kind of realize it because it'll look a little bit awkward. I feel like if you're not a Ninja Turtles fan, you probably couldn't watch anything.
Starting point is 00:23:42 This is great. Okay. Even though, like, I feel like they're an underrated comic book franchise. Because they're not fully superheroes. They're not fully in that genre. They're more just like, it's a comic book movie technically. Yeah, well, they're turtles doing heroic acts. But I still see them as superheroes, but not,
Starting point is 00:24:02 It's not one that you could just hop into now. Okay. All right. Hey, that's, I like it. It's a little dated. That's fair. It's a good fandom. So that's probably three.
Starting point is 00:24:11 At number two, I would go Spider-Man 2. One with Toby McGuire. I was going to say, we got a few Spider-Man series here, so which one? Spider-Man 2 with Toby McGuire, which is another one I just watched in theaters for the first time, because I didn't see that one in theaters whenever it first came out. I feel like that is the overall best Spider-Man story of all time, because you skip over the origin story. It starts with him already being Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I love Doc Ock. And for me, Toby McGuire is my Spider-Man. Interesting. That's what I grew up with. Like, early 2000s, that was the most exciting to me. And those are always the movies I associate with, like, my Spider-Man. Okay. Hot take.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I like it. So Spider-Man 2 is up there at the top of my list on superhero movies, but number one, it's hard to not put the Dark Night in. one for me. And I feel like that has just been my favorite for so long because it has a little bit of all my interest. Like it is a superhero movie. But if you take all those elements out of it, the story itself is just a good story that unlike if I showed you the Ninja Turtles movie without being a superhero fan, you might not enjoy it. If you just watch the Dark Night without liking anything superhero, I think you could enjoy it. I would agree with that. The Dark Night is one that will hold up for
Starting point is 00:25:30 the test of time forever. as the best opening scene of all time, the best villain. I feel like Christian Bale is overall the most well-rounded Batman. He's not like my favorite Batman, but when it comes to somebody who both embodies Bruce Wayne and Batman together, I think that is what he's the best at. Okay, so you say Toby McGuire is your Spider-Man. Christian Bale is my Batman. Yeah, I could see that.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I don't mind the other ones that I've seen, but Christian Bale, he's the one who hooked me. He's the one who got me invested in the story, invested in the character, invested in all of it. All the other ones are just like, okay, I like it because it's Batman. Christian Bale was my, he's my Batman. I really like Robert Pattinson now. If they can ever finally make the sequel to that movie, I think he brings an entirely different side of Batman to it. I'm curious who they're going to cast as a new Batman because they're kind of going to have two storylines going on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Because they might go into a, right? It's like James Gunn. Yeah, I feel like eventually... DC stresses me out for that reason. I never know what they're doing. But if I had to give my Batman, I think I go Michael Keaton from the OG. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Just because, like, those first two movies, Batman and Batman Returns, were very influential on my, like, taste in superhero movies, because that was back when it was kind of a gamble to even put out a superhero movie. They thought the first one was going to fail. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:58 And even between that one having success, I mean, you did have Superman before that. But that was kind of a bull thing to do at that time. And I think without those movies, we would never have gotten what we have today. That's fair. I feel like a lot of people will agree with that. Most people love the OGs. That just stands pretty tried and true.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Like, you over time, the OGs are the nostalgic one. They're the one that got you invested. They're the one that, like, you always kind of go back to. And I think it'll change over time because right now, the last Star Wars trilogy, is seen as like the worst by everybody. But to some kid who experienced those for the first time, here in 10 years, those are going to be their favorite movies,
Starting point is 00:27:39 and then those are going to have more appreciation, much like we're seeing now is what happened with the prequel trilogy that came out late 90s, early 2000s. When those came out, everybody hated those movies. But now that it's been 20 years since those, everybody's like, wait, these are actually good. We love these movies. We grew up with these movies.
Starting point is 00:27:56 These are now celebrated, and all the actors associated with that, those movies are like, now like, okay, we got that wrong. Now they're kind of getting their flowers. I think the same thing is going to happen with this last run of them. Yeah, that's definitely true. I've never really thought of it from that perspective. But, you know, we love to be haters when anything's new.
Starting point is 00:28:14 And then years past, you're like, okay, that was probably pretty harsh on that. Does Mike go to see every new movie in theater, how does he choose which one to stream, Megan? I usually go see every new movie because I try to pick the one that I think is going to be the number one at the box office every week just because I think that it would be the most like searched and the movie people are talking about the most and I feel like I have to see that one and it's usually pretty easy to tell sometimes every now and then you get a surprise like what am I going to see this movie and then when it comes to if I don't have a chance to see it in theaters is pretty much the only reason that I would watch it at home unless it's like a straight streaming
Starting point is 00:28:54 movie sometimes like I mean I used to go to the movies three times a week I was going to say I think You go a few times, don't you? I'll go Friday to watch the movie I think is going to be number one. I'll go Saturday morning if there's a movie only I want to watch. If it's like a horror movie or like a B-level movie that I feel like the most people aren't going to see and maybe it's just for me, I'll go see it then. And then sometimes I'll go see a second movie on Saturday. It is not uncommon for me to go twice in a day.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Will you leave and go back or will you just stay and watch both? I will, yeah, I'll go back. The most I've ever seen in one day was three. Two different theaters, three movies. I feel like you, if there was a driving closer, that would be really beneficial to you. Oh, yeah, because I could do the back-to-back. Yeah, you can just stay there and you like bring on your snack. You do what you want.
Starting point is 00:29:43 That day, I went in the morning. I watched a 9.30 movie. I went home. I ate. I made it to a 1 o'clock movie. Went back home, ate dinner, and then we went to like a 7 o'clock movie. Was that your favorite? day that you've ever had? It was the best day ever.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Like my best weeks are days where I can see three new movies in theaters. I feel accomplished after that. That, I mean, accomplished also in one day. That's crazy. But it's also crazy to me that you went back and you didn't just stay there and just, you know, stay with the commitment. Okay. Last one. We're ending on this. Jess wants to know the must watch scary movie this month.
Starting point is 00:30:22 My go-toes are the classics. Halloween, the first one, is like my... whenever it feels like fall, whenever October 1st hits, I have to watch that movie. And I think it was because back in the day, whenever AMC had the rights to all the Halloween movies, they would just show them nonstop. And that is like what I associate Halloween time with is I would just put on AMC. And no matter which one they were showing, I would always watch all the Halloween and Michael Myers movies. I feel like that's my go-to.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Okay. If it's straight up like horror slasher, that is my must-see. if it's a family-friendly one, hocus pocus. Okay, that's my choice. I like hocus pocus. Yeah, that feels like in the same way
Starting point is 00:31:05 I need to watch a scary movie, that feels like the grade school equivalent. Like, if we didn't watch that during school, it didn't feel like Halloween to me. Yeah, I feel that. Okay, yeah, I love that. See, happy Halloween, everybody. We're getting into the fun movies.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I will also add to Mike Diesl's Halloween Town for another family-friendly one Because I like that one also. Also, if you haven't seen Hubey Halloween on Netflix. That one was good. The Adam Sandler movie. I feel like that's like a slow burner classic where it is kind of ridiculous, but I think it's a good one that has a lot of rewatchability to it.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Yeah, I like that one. See, I do like Halloween movies. It's not like horror movies. So if you need to have their family-friendly suggestions, I'm pretty sure I've watched all of them. The Haunted Mansion movie they did, I think it was in 20, 23 or maybe 2022, the remake of it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:59 That was actually pretty good. I watched that one too. Yeah. See, I told you. If it's a kid movie for Halloween, I got you. The Disney family-friendly Halloween movies are good. Have you seen Frankenweeney?
Starting point is 00:32:11 I don't think I've seen Frankenwee. I don't think I've even seen that one pop up. I think it was like maybe 2010's. Okay. Is it with a wean dog? Yes. Oh, I was a total guess. Is it a weeder dog?
Starting point is 00:32:23 I know it's a dog. It might not be a we're. It would be a really missed opportunity if it was not a wiener dog. I'm going to be honest. But it's a good one. And it's Tim Burton, so it's kind of like claymation spooky. Okay. But that's another one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I believe it's a remake though. Okay. See, hey, happy Halloween, everybody. This is fun. Yeah, family friendly. That's like my favorite genre of, like subgenre of horror. Really? The family friendly ones?
Starting point is 00:32:48 Because it's, I feel like horror is the most versatile genre where you can have like family friendly you can have like houses haunted movies you can have like these different levels of horror and then i love the family friendly ones because that feels like okay something everybody can watch and something in my favorite genre let's go yeah okay see and that's probably one of your wife will watch with you too exactly i'll like it all right well go check out mike he's mike distro on everything and podcast movie mic's movie podcast new episodes every monday love that thanks for being here guys we'll talk to you later that's the best bits of the week with morgan Thanks for listening.
