I love you people, let it be, baby.
Welcome them, empire, member, and or members.
If you can hear my voice, it means one of a few things we hope.
Who would mean you've listened to the clubhouse podcast at least once in your life?
We also hope it means you subscribe on iTunes, and if you don't, why don't you?
And make you feel good if everybody's doing it, all the cool kids are doing it.
But no matter how you're listening, we're just glad you're here, because it is time
for another.
Oh, Tom, it's just good to have her, thank you very much.
We do these whenever we are reviewing something, and this one is no exception.
My name is Rob, and I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast.
You're one stop shop for everything sports entertainment every Sunday, live at 70's
from 4 Pacific, but I am not by myself for this particular review.
Joining me across the desk, as he tends to do from time to time, is a man.
He's not a bear because he's the ginger ninja.
He's the king of bowling, Andrew Beckham, welcome, sir.
Well, thank you, it's great to be here.
My first Elvis song of the year.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
First of the time.
Sure, Elvis.
Then you're welcome.
I guess, yeah, thanks.
Also joining me across the desk is the official fact checker of this show, and a man who's
a spirit in the sky keeps on turning.
He may know it was fun, don't go.
It is momentary.
I'm going to call him, don't forget, welcome, sir.
Spirit.
This guy.
There's not a lot that makes me shake my head in this line.
We just lost a wheel.
We started with three.
That's true.
Today, we are reviewing a brand new movie that's getting ready to be released.
It's a new movie, but it's not a new concept.
When I was a kid, there was a series of cartoons and books, and the property was called
Paddington Bear.
Basically, bear out of water, living with people in London.
But now it's back in a brand new film, starring Nicole Kidman, directed by Paul Ting.
Also, starring the voice of Ben Wishaw, who you will know as the new Q and the Bond films.
Just a lot of little things directed by Mr. King, TV mini series called Come Fly With Me,
a lot of TV.
I believe this is his first actual feature-length film.
So basically, if you don't know the story of Paddington Bear, he is a bear that lived
in Darkest Peru.
For most of his life, and his aunt and uncle, befriended and explore many many years
ago, who told him if you're ever in London, come out and see us because we're a nice
people.
Well, after an earthquake, all but obliterates his home, his aunt and his uncle, send
him to London to live.
The original ran from 1976 to 1987, and this is really the story of Paddington and how
he hooks up with the Brown family, who the father, little not into him at first.
But of course, you know, it's a family film, so I think we all know where it goes from
there.
The great Michael Game Bone does one of the voices of Paddington's uncle, and Melda Stonson
does his aunt.
Peter Capaldi plays her neighbor, Sally Hawkins is the mother, a lot of some pretty good
Jim Broadbent is in this as well.
He bought a lot of great British actors, and from all around the robot, they're mostly
rich, we don't know Nikon Kibbins Australian, but it takes place in London, so you
want to keep it grounded.
Nikon Kibbins is the antagonist in this film.
She is a local museum taxidermist, who wants to add Paddington to her collection of taxidermy.
And I'm pretty much going to leave it there.
It's a little over an hour and a half long, and you've got most of it right now.
Real quick, Paul King actually did direct a movie bunny in the bowl just to let you know.
Okay, but you're the fact you're going to show you keep the checks and that's checked.
We got to do the usual.
Thank you so much, Alan.
I'm sorry for that.
That's a phrase in the whole world for letting us see this.
How much brings the people with us?
You had a great time this morning.
Let's start with you Andrew.
What did you think about the look of the film?
Oh, it was spectacular.
I actually, that was the reason I wanted to go see it, actually how well we know.
Just how it looked and how it felt throughout the movie and I was always engaged.
There wasn't a part where I was thinking, oh, I, I'm sitting here in a movie theater.
It's like, I'm, they're really drew me into the environment.
All right, Daniel, I'm expand on that.
I love the look of the film.
That's, that's the thing I love the most of the whole thing.
I thought the direction was good.
Look was good.
It, there's even scenes where you see the model of the house.
Then it goes into the model, turning into the house.
Which is what they did on the series, which I really love though.
They did it great though, you know, a nice homage there.
You know, I've been one and once enjoyed, you know, about a week and enjoyed it in
dispropec memories of being there.
So we'll look at the city, which they did a good job of that, the jungle.
I like how they turned the jungle into their home for pattington before he moved to London.
When that event happens where, you know, he has to leave.
I thought the look of that was good.
We're at a whole scenery, shook and everything like that.
But look overall through the whole thing, even when it's snowing outside and the thing,
I loved it.
I love the look.
What I really dug about it was it looked like a children's movie without looking
like a kitty movie.
You know, you know, you think that makes sense?
Like, yes, one of the things I really loved that I put this in my written review on
the clubhousepodcast.com, which is our website, and I also put my comment card when we
saw it this morning was so much of kids television now.
And I don't think it's because I'm an older guy, but I've like, I have a four-year
old niece whom I love dearly.
And I was watching TV with her one day and it was like this shows she was watching.
It's just like they insult the intelligence of these kids.
It's just more about, ooh, look at the shapes and the colors, more than it is really
about teaching them things.
And really treating them like human beings, which that's what I really loved about this
film is it wasn't like that.
It was like you were taking your kid to a movie in the barrel.
So real, the eyes, the eyes are amazing.
Yeah, I agree with you there, but it seemed like sci-fi looked like there was actual
brother.
I'm not even talking about the visuals.
I mean, the visual effects were amazing.
Look at me wrong, but I'm just saying the look of the film itself, if you just walked
into the middle of it, and you didn't know there was the bear there, like if you were
going to see that it didn't have the bear, you wouldn't realize you're watching its
children's film, which I really, really liked about that, but it didn't have that just
lots of bright colors and shapes looked to it.
It had the feel of a film, which I really, really dug.
I don't think that was just, I don't want to jump the gun here, but it was this, the story
telling, it, it was phenomenal.
We can definitely segue into the storytelling.
Yeah.
What kind of drove it, you know, it didn't treat you like you were a child and had
to explain everything.
It was, it was an actual, strong story, right, and it was, there was no character that
wasn't needed.
They just didn't throw characters in there.
Exactly.
And at one point, early on, there was one character that I felt, this is the, for lack
of a better term, the housekeeper, right.
You kind of felt maybe she was a throwaway character, but as it went on, you realize
the value she brought to it.
How many of your thoughts there?
Storytelling.
Love the storytelling.
It's very good, and it's not where you believe you're brain at the door, but a kid
can easily follow the film and keep an adult interested, which is very tough to do.
And that's kind of what I was going towards, it's just a moment ago, it's, it's a, it's
a children's film, but not a kids' film.
And the adults will be into the plot, I was into the plot, is it is some plastic plot
of raw, yeah, but it's a kid's film.
And that's probably fine, but it's still going to keep me interested.
I was interested through the whole thing, the movie didn't trade.
And it wasn't just, here's totally, this is going to happen everybody in this pop-up
plot, you know, we see it some miles away, know the film, the plot was great where adults
will enjoy it, the kids will enjoy it, and the kids can follow it.
It's great for the entire family, I think.
And what I loved was a lot of times when you have these children's films that you're
trying to, to appeal to adults with, kind of like Peabody and Sherman last year, you kind
of have to put adult references into it.
In this film, you didn't have to, in this film, the story was, and I loved Peabody and Sherman
don't get me wrong, I truly, truly enjoy that film, but the difference here is the story
telling was strong enough that you didn't have to put gimmicky things in it, which
was my concern going in because I love the Paddington franchise when I was younger.
And as a guy that grew up with this, and now coming to see it come back, a lot of times
that's not been working as well in recent years as it should.
This film doesn't write, it's like Dawn said, 1995 minutes and it flew, like I was worried
that they were, the deeper we were getting in, they were going to have to cram a bunch
of stuff at the end, but they didn't, the story was well told, it was well paid,
I wasn't like, where is the chase and how can I cut to it?
I loved the pacing of the film, I loved, it was very, again, a very strong story telling here.
Man, it was a film I loved too.
And it was like, another thing I really dug about this is a lot of times in kids films
you had to spend a lot of time telling the backstory of the villain, all of a laden, all
then loved a laden, but you spend, you spend just as much time on jafar as you spend
on a laden.
And here it was, it was just like a Paul King and Hammish McCall who were responsible
for the screen story.
It was just like, we don't have to tell a lot of story here.
We don't, you know, with the antagonist being militant, probably that was a very ominous
name, played by Nicole Kidman, you don't have to tell a lot about her.
And when you get the reveal of who she is as the film goes on, you kind of go, okay,
that makes sense.
Like you get basically everything you need to know her about her in about five minutes
and it doesn't diminish the character, it doesn't diminish the story, it actually makes
it work.
I agree, I enjoyed the comedy in it, it didn't, it didn't treat the adult like they
were a child.
And that was another one of my concerns going, it was subtle and it's just funny.
Is this going to turn into, is it going to get real homologing on me?
Right.
That was one of my major concerns and it didn't.
There were a couple of scenes that were, you know, cutesy, but it wasn't, again, it didn't
take away from my overall enjoyment, no, like what's in the trailer that you're waxing
on the toothbrushes.
Yeah, I mean, that's totally, now did I find it funny that there's a scene.
That Nicole Kidman is lowering herself with an electronic winch into the, into the
house to try to capture him, knowing who she used to be married to.
Yes, that was funny, that was funny to me and then not knowing that we, we made another
reference to it later in the film, but it was, it was, it was those little subtle things
that, you know, if you get it, you get it and if you don't, you don't.
And so it's not like, you know, again, I didn't take away from it, which I abs, there's
just, my expectations going into this were fairly low.
And I think if I'd held it to a decent standard, it would still have exceeded that
standard.
I think so too.
Yeah, I had a little, I, I didn't know what to think on this film, and I was surprised
and I really, really liked it.
Yeah, it's just a great, I don't know, it's just a great film, it leaves you and you're
in a great mood.
And I was, I was, I was feeling up beat, it was, it was really well done, and we really
don't even have to talk performances here because everything was so well rounded that
nobody had, for me, anyway, nobody had to stand out, no, that was the beauty of it, that
it was truly an ensemble piece where everybody had their little part, and everything worked
well together.
Except padding to him, but he's a major character, right?
Yeah.
You know, it was, it was good for me to see him get the little blue coat, you know, it was
exactly like it was.
Exactly.
And I'm cool.
I think they had the perfect amount of time in there.
Absolutely.
You know, even the cab driver from Bridesmaids, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very, very good film.
I mean, I don't, I think we can go straight to the final analysis, I think we kind of
just said what we need to say.
Now, the final analysis on this show, how we do it.
We don't give you thumbs up thumbs down, we don't give you letter grades, we don't
give you rankings, our, our audience, the clubhouse empire, they're better than that.
What we do is we ask a two-prong question, prong number one says, would you see this
film again?
If the answer is no, we're done here.
The answer is yes.
Then it becomes, how would you see this film again?
Would you pay full price?
Would you wait till a twilight?
Maybe a matinee?
Maybe early morning?
Maybe second run?
Maybe red box?
Maybe Netflix?
Maybe cable?
Don't let's start with you.
Would you see this film again?
Definitely.
How much?
Would you be willing to hide?
That's what we got.
Let's see it personally, something like HBO, but I would recommend it.
So this is a great family film.
Whether it be a family night, family afternoon, twilight, you know, take the whole family,
everybody in their family will enjoy this film, no matter what time you see it.
Andrew, would you see this film again?
Definitely.
How would you see this film again?
I would definitely go see it in a theater.
I don't know.
I think like this is something like you don't mention, you can go with your family,
but I don't like me and I can be a cousin staying.
Take your cousins or just close Brandon just, or even a date night, too.
Oh yeah, could be.
I would see this film again for sure, depending on how meant they.
I would love to bring my four-year-old niece to see this.
I think she would absolutely love it.
And that's all I have.
After about the halfway point, that's all I could think is,
is Arya would dig this movie.
She would love this and I would love to take her to it.
And she's getting her family, you're getting ready to move to the Metroplex area,
which I'm very excited about, my brother-in-law and his wife and my niece,
are moving to Dallas from Houston, so I'm very excited about that.
If it were me by myself, I think I would watch it on cable.
I mean, I'm not saying, as a repeat viewing.
As a first run, I would take her during the day.
We maybe have an Uncle Rob Arya day.
You know, we're maybe we'd start, maybe have a little lunch somewhere,
go see the movie, and maybe go do some other stuff,
and maybe a van Jennifer wants to come along.
That's fine, and if she doesn't well hang out, too.
Because my niece is that cool.
But a great family that's a great family film.
Paddington, not Paddington Bear, just Paddington,
even though they on the copyright to Paddington Bear, too.
Go see this movie.
