  • fun music playing

  • So in case I don't mention it enough,

  • I went to film school.

  • Oh yeah, baby!

  • Technically, I graduated a couple months ago,

  • but I did the official ceremony and the pomp

  • and circumstance a couple days ago.

  • And I paid like thirty dollars for this hat

  • and now I have no reason to wear it ever again.

  • And the funny thing is, while I was in film school, I really didn't like watching movies that much,

  • I was mostly just into YouTube.

  • And now that I finally graduated

  • and I am no longer obligated to watch like ten hours of movies per week,

  • I've like rediscovered my love for movies and now I'm doing it in my free time.

  • I feel like a lot of people go through that once they graduate from school.

  • They realize that they like, actually enjoyed learning

  • but like, being in school ruins learning somehow,

  • because it just makes it horrible and stressful.

  • I feel like that's the unique power of the American educational system, is to just

  • crush any existing passion you had for a topic.

  • So, today I have compiled a list of my favorite films of all time,

  • and I'm just gonna geek out about them, to be honest.

  • If you haven't watched these movies,

  • I'm gonna tell you all the reasons that you should watch them.

  • And if you have watched these movies,

  • I'm also gonna talk about, like, my favorite themes and shots and acting from all these movies.

  • So it'll be like a little Ashley's movie Oscars.

  • Let's get on started.

  • Let's go ahead and... get... get lit.

  • (awkward laugh )

  • You guys know what I mean.

  • So my first film is "Avengers: Endgame."

  • No, I'm kidding.

  • I'm a fucking film student.

  • I'm way too pretentious for that mainstream shit.

  • My first film is "Sorry to Bother You."

  • "Sorry to Bother You'' takes place in this alternate satirical universe,

  • in a world stricken by low raises, high unemployment and

  • rampid capitalism.

  • Sound familiar, folks?

  • The film follows Cassius Green, who's struggling to pay rent.

  • He's a telemarketer,

  • and he discovers that the secret to his professional success is to turn on his "white voice."

  • -You want to make some money here, use your "white voice."

  • - My "white voice" ?

  • - I'm not talking about Will Smith's white.

  • - Like this, young man.

  • - (talks in white) Hey, Mr. Kramer, this is Langston from Regal View.

  • That earns him a promotion and propels him into this world of money and greed

  • and he has to battle with his morals.

  • Okay. So, reasons I love this movie:

  • First of all, the costume design and production design make this movie worth watching alone.

  • They did such an amazing job of creating this 70s-meets-modern-day aesthetic.

  • It's so colorful,

  • it's so well put together.

  • The whole world of this movie

  • looks like a Janelle Monae music video in the best way possible.

  • Second of all, this movie gives you so much to think about after you're done watching

  • and that is my favorite type of movie.

  • Like after you're done,

  • all you want to do for the next three hours

  • is look up video essays and like Reddit forums,

  • analyzing it and breaking it down.

  • But at the same time it's also just a really entertaining and funny film.

  • I like to think of this film as like a modern-day "Animal Farm."

  • It's like a satirical commentary on modern-day capitalism,

  • but I mean that in the least like heady and pretentious way possible.

  • You know, it's not like the bourgeoisie and the proletariat kids.

  • It talks about American culture and the pressures

  • that a lot of us feel

  • to earn a bunch of money and to climb this corporate ladder,

  • no matter what our morals are

  • in a very personal and empathetic way.

  • And I think that's something that a lot of us can relate to.

  • Especially like,

  • at this point in my life, I'm 21

  • and I feel like when I was in high school,

  • everybody I knew was kind of borderline communist.

  • Everybody was like "the rich should be taxed like crazy,"

  • "Yes, of course I'm gonna work for a charity and I'm not gonna sell out".

  • And now all those same people are, like, trying to pay rent and

  • pay off student debt, so they're working on Wall Street for some Fortune 500 corporation.

  • I mean same for me, I basically work for YouTube, and Google owns YouTube.

  • I'm just making money for a mega-corporation like everybody else.

  • (pause)

  • Which is something I don't want to think about too much.

  • The point is, this movie talks about how our culture is

  • so focused on making money and having a prestigious job

  • and especially for men feeling this source of masculinity

  • and sexual attractiveness based on how much you earn.

  • "Sorry to Bother You" also has a really interesting critique of the different ways that

  • especially African Americans, but generally people of different races

  • are expected to act in different social situations.

  • So our main character literally has to put on his "white voice"

  • in order to advance through the professional ranks.

  • But, like, when he's at a party with a bunch of white people,

  • then they want him to be this stereotypical rapper black dude.

  • And he's not that either.

  • So he's like forcing himself into these two different identities.

  • I was really related that in a different way.

  • Obviously I have not, uhm,

  • experienced the particular struggles and the particular discrimination of being an African-American, right?

  • But I am half white and half Asian.

  • When I was younger,

  • there was like an Asian friend group and a white friend group at my school.

  • And when I was with the white friend group,

  • I, like, never wanted to bring noodles to school

  • because I was so embarrassed that it wasn't like a sandwich or something

  • like normal white kids' snack.

  • And I was so embarrassed to ask my friends to take off their shoes in my house.

  • And then when I was with the Asian friend group

  • I felt like kind of a phony because I felt like I still wasn't Asian enough for them.

  • Yeah, just please watch this movie.

  • It has so many interesting themes.

  • As you guys might be able to tell by my bangs ,

  • I am that bitch who's been obsessed with "500 days of Summer"

  • since I was like 13 years old, okay ?

  • I love that movie with my heart and soul.

  • "500 days of summer" is the only movie that I have bought on iTunes.

  • And I have rewatched it so many times.

  • Every time I go through a heartbreak,

  • every time I'm not sure what to do in a romantic situation,

  • every time I'm on my period.

  • Which is a lot.

  • I'm watching that movie.

  • "500 days of summer" is a bit of an unconventional

  • rom-com that follows Tom, a hopeless romantic

  • who's been looking for the girl of his dreams his entire life,

  • and Summer who believes that love is like Santa Claus and it doesn't really exist

  • and the movie follows

  • 500 days of their relationship.

  • It gets messy. They like, break up. There's ups and downs.

  • There's fights.

  • The reason this movie is one of my favorite rom-coms

  • other than the fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt

  • is in it, is that this movie has grown with meaning as I've gotten older.

  • When I first watched it,

  • I was in middle school and I really took it at face value

  • that "Oh, Summer's an asshole for breaking Tom's heart and poor Tom

  • he has to go chase after her",

  • and I was rooting for the hopeless romantic Tom

  • because he was the guy who,

  • who wanted to get the girl

  • and that was the happy ending that I had been taught in my entire life.

  • I think when we were younger and in our first relationship

  • we're all kind of like Tom.

  • We all project this ultra romantic ideal of somebody perfect onto somebody

  • who's frankly not perfect. I feel like as I've grown up and

  • after you experience heartbreak and shit

  • I feel like we all become more and more like Summer

  • and I come to realize that Tom isn't like this perfect romantic hero.

  • He's kind of a guy clinging on to a relationship that didn't work.

  • So I think it's a really interesting film to watch

  • and especially a different point at your life and you can really understand like more

  • and more about the characters.

  • Also just stylistically, I think this movie does some really really cool

  • kind of meta editing effects.

  • You'll have to watch the movie to see exactly what I mean,

  • but I like that it really plays with some like experimental techniques.

  • It's also just like my favorite movie to reference EVER

  • so, watch that movie and then you'll get all my "500 days of summer"

  • references in my videos.

  • Next up, we have "The double",

  • which is a movie that pretty much nobody I know has ever watched.

  • It is so underrated,

  • but it is, if I had to pick one,

  • I think my favorite movie of all time.

  • "The double" tells the story of this shy nervous office worker

  • whose life is turned upside down when

  • a doppelganger arrives at his office.

  • - I'd introduce everyone to our newest coworker.

  • - Please welcome...

  • - James Simon.

  • His doppelganger looks exactly like him but his personality is the exact opposite.

  • He's everything that Simon wishes that he could be.

  • He's charismatic. He is outgoing.

  • He gets recognized at his job.

  • He's also very good with the ladies and manages to seduce Simon's love interest.

  • His doppelganger starts off being his friend

  • but then slowly begins to take over Simon's life and he has to find a way to get rid of him.

  • This film is another one of those movies that leaves you like completely mind-fucked at the end.

  • It is so trippy and leaves you with so much to think about.

  • It talks about

  • social anxiety and identity,

  • and I feel like the main take away at this film is feeling like you're this small invisible person and

  • wishing that you could be charismatic and outgoing,

  • but you don't know how to be that person.

  • Never know that I relate to the main character a lot,

  • even though I'm like,

  • seem, I guess charismatic online and I like,

  • talk to a lot of people.

  • Like in real life, I'm pretty awkward.

  • So I find the main character very endearing.

  • - It really is. She's just looking at me.

  • - Yeah, all right.

  • - Now lick your lips.

  • -Yeah, what?

  • - Show the tongue, but be careful not to look like a lizard, go.

  • Also gotta give it to Jesse Eisenberg,

  • he's like my favorite actor, ever.

  • And in this movie, he plays the main character AND the antagonist.

  • So there's just double Jesse Eisenberg, which is really all I could ask for.

  • My next film or should I say, set of films is

  • "Before sunrise", "Before sunset" and "Before midnight".

  • These films follow the story of a boy and a girl

  • who meet on the train in Europe and

  • they just strike up a conversation and

  • spontaneously decide to get off the train and spend one night together in the city.

  • The first film, "Before sunrise", is when they first meet.

  • Then the next film is 10 years later,

  • and the next film is 10 years later after that.

  • So, seen together, they're a really interesting snap shot of a relationship.

  • It really tripped me out the first time

  • I watched all three of them, because I felt like I had seen my life flashed before my eyes.

  • You know, in the first film they're like 20, they're really young.

  • They're just having fun in a city together.

  • Later, we see them in their 30s in their 40s, and I'm like, holy shit

  • Like I'm gonna be.. I'm gonna be that old one day.

  • I'm really excited to watch these films again when I'm 30 and when I'm 40,

  • because I feel like I'll relate to the characters

  • in new ways.

  • Anyways, I love that these films feel very,

  • uhm...

  • authentic. It's a cheesy word.

  • But the writing and the acting is so nuanced

  • and there's like these little things that make it feel like real life.

  • There's a scene where they're on the train and like the guy is like nervous

  • and he's like trying to

  • reach for the girl's hair to like make a move on her

  • but like she puts her hair back before he can get to it.

  • And it's just like the little things like that that make this movie so good

  • and such, in my opinion, a really accurate reflection of

  • that feeling of, like a summer night, meeting somebody new.

  • My favorite feeling in the world

  • is that feeling of like a summer night when you're in high school

  • or traveling to a new city.

  • And you're just with somebody that you're just so present in the moment

  • and you never want the night to end.

  • I've never seen a movie capture that feeling as well as "Before sunrise".

  • My next film recommendation is a little bit less romantic.

  • It is "Gone Girl",

  • which is a murder mystery following- what are the characters names? - Nick and Amy

  • Just the most boring ass white names you can think of.

  • On Nick and Amy's fifth wedding anniversary

  • Amy goes missing and the movie tells the story from

  • Amy's perspective and Nick's perspective

  • as Nick tries to find out where his wife went

  • but also avoid allegations that he is the murderer.

  • It not only tells the story of this murder mystery,

  • but also the story of a relationship

  • that seemed so perfect and idyllic from the outside and slowly disintegrated.

  • I wanted to read you guys my favorite quote from this movie.

  • I didn't want to spoil, like, the plot twist in the middle.

  • So I'm just gonna read it out loud.

  • "Men always say that as a defining compliment, don't they?"

  • "She's a cool girl."

  • "Being the cool girl means I'm hot,"

  • "brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes and burping and plays video games,"

  • "drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth"

  • "like she's hosting the world's biggest culinary gangbang while somehow maintaining a size two."

  • "Because cool girls are, above all, hot."

  • "Hot and understanding."

  • "Cool girls never get angry."

  • "They only smile in a chagrined loving manner and then let men do whatever they want."

  • "Go ahead, shit on me."

  • "I don't mind."

  • "I'm the cool girl."

  • And trust me, Rosamund Pike does a much better job of saying that in the movie.

  • For so long,

  • I've tried to be the cool girl

  • and that movie was the first time I had ever heard that really put into words.

  • I felt like I could never stand up for myself

  • because I was trying to be cool and God forbid,

  • I'd be labeled like an annoying crazy girl.

  • It's exhausting and infuriating sometimes

  • to try to be cool and hot and chill and caring

  • but not nagging and available but not too available and like,

  • Sometimes it's just exhausting.

  • For that passage alone,

  • this movie is worth watching.

  • Also, a fascinating murder mystery, lots of twists and turns.

  • Give "Gone girl" a watch for a murder mystery

  • with a side of

  • feminist contemplation.

  • My favorite combination.

  • Our next film is" Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind".

  • This movie has a very pretentious title,

  • but I promise it's actually a really good film.

  • And I like to call it the "Inception" of rom-coms.

  • It's very trippy

  • but it also has a lot of

  • authentic stuff to say about love,

  • I think.

  • So this film follows a couple Joel and Clementine, and after they break up,

  • Clementine decides to erase Joel from her memory using this memory erasure service.

  • And Joel is so heartbroken

  • that he decides to do the same and

  • erase their entire relationship from his memory.

  • As the memory erasure process is going on

  • he realizes that maybe he wants to remember the relationship after all

  • and so he has to fight through his

  • subconscious to try to save it.

  • I first watched this film after a breakup

  • and I feel like a lot of our first instincts after a breakup

  • is to be like,

  • "Oh fuck that person",

  • like "I never loved them. Let me delete all our memories together.

  • Let me delete all our photos.

  • I'm gonna block their number."

  • And watching this film really helped me come to terms with the fact that

  • you can love somebody and it can not work out,

  • but you can still really cherish those memories.

  • I don't know, it taught me to appreciate my relationships for what they are,

  • even if they don't last forever.

  • So, we have "Snowpiercer".

  • This film follows a post-apocalyptic society

  • that is encapsulated on this train

  • that circles the globe on a never ending track.

  • You guys might sense a theme in my recommendation so far,

  • but this is another allegory for capitalism .

  • Lower-class people are kept in the back of the train.

  • They're fed cockroaches.

  • They're basically herded around like cattle.

  • And as you move forward through the train,

  • people become higher and higher class,

  • and they get more of the resources.

  • And then at the very front, there is the conductor

  • who is the original inventor of the train.

  • So this film follows this rebellion

  • of the lower-class people

  • as they travel up through all of the train carts

  • and try to take over the captain's cabin.

  • This is one of those adventure films that I could not look away from.

  • I was glued to my seat the entire time.

  • There are lots of twists and turns, some of them very disturbing.

  • My favorite thing about this film is the pacing

  • and how each little cart in the train is like

  • this new world that they unlock.

  • It's like playing a Mario video game or something.

  • Like each cart is a new level with a new theme to it,

  • and it really keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

  • So, that's all I'm gonna say about that

  • because if I say more, I will give it away.

  • But definitely give it a watch if you're looking for an adventure film.

  • Next up,

  • I gotta hand it to "Inception".

  • You guys have probably all watched it at this point,

  • so I'm not gonna talk about it too much.

  • But when "Inception" came out,

  • I watched that movie at my birthday party.

  • I would show it to anybody who came over to my house.

  • I probably watched it 10 times in the first year that it came out,

  • and that is really the movie that got me into film enough

  • to go to film school.

  • So I owe it all to Christopher Nolan.

  • Next up,

  • We have "Thelma and Louise".

  • "Thelma and Louise" follows two small-town friends named - could you guess it?

  • Thelma and Louise.

  • Their trip starts off fun and light-hearted

  • until at a bar, a man tries to rape Thelma .

  • And Louise shoots and killed him.

  • From there,

  • It becomes a chase movie as Thelma and Louise try to evade the police.

  • It is embarrassingly rare to find a film about female friendship

  • and with well-written,

  • dimensional female characters.

  • But this movie is it.

  • Both characters have really interesting character archs.

  • Thelma goes from the housewife

  • to really coming into her own as this

  • free and independent and badass woman.

  • She gets to fuck Brad Pitt.

  • It's really like kind of a coming-of-age film for a woman,

  • but it's like instead of being a teenager,

  • they're like adult woman coming into their own.

  • So I love this film.

  • I got so attached to the characters,

  • I cried at the end, which really does not happen often in films for me.

  • I would really recommend giving it a watch.

  • Like I was with all of these films, that's the theme here.

  • Speaking of film starring woman.

  • Next up, we have Brooklyn.

  • This is a film that takes place in the 1950s

  • and follows an Irish immigrant

  • played by Soo-see Ronan ... (The actress's name is Saoirse Ronan)

  • Se-si Ronan ? (It's pronounced Sur-sha Ronan, y'all)

  • Still don't know how to pronounce her name,

  • but she is a great actress.

  • It follows a young Irish girl who moves to Brooklyn in the 1950s

  • as she deals with

  • homesickness,

  • a new job,

  • finding herself.

  • I normally hate historical fiction SO much.

  • I find it SO boring.

  • Like come on,

  • my attention span has been shortened to five seconds, thanks to Instagram.

  • Gimme some action!

  • But to my surprise, I really related to this damn

  • 1950s Irish girl

  • because when I first watched this film

  • I was in my dorm at UCLA

  • and I had recently moved all the way from my small town in Maryland out to LA.

  • I was feeling lonely and lost and confused

  • and it made me feel like I had somebody to relate to

  • when I was just a youngen

  • in college trying to figure out what the hell LA was.

  • Next we have "Love, Rosie".

  • This is an embarrassing one to put on my list

  • because it is so cheesy

  • and I think it's the only film on this list that is

  • negatively rated on Rotten Tomatoes.

  • "Love, Rosie" follows Alex and Rosie

  • who have been best friends ever since they were kids.

  • But they keep missing their chance to be together

  • even though they like each other.

  • it follows them from like age 18 to when they're adults

  • as they keep missing those opportunities in classic rom-com style

  • This movie,

  • like there's no real redeeming qualities

  • other than Sam Claflin and Lilly Collins being hot as fuck.

  • It's just a cheesy ass rom-com, but I love it,

  • especially because I first watched it when I was in high school

  • and I always had a crush on my best friend in high school

  • so I would watch this film and like project on my friend romance fantasy

  • onto the characters and

  • it made me feel good about myself.

  • I do have one animated film on my list and that is "Fantastic Mr. Fox".

  • This is an animated film directed by Wes Anderson

  • and it is personally my favorite Wes Anderson film.

  • It's based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name

  • and it follows a middle-aged. Mr Fox

  • who is a retired chicken hunter

  • and he wants to go on one last adventure,

  • stealing from all of the three big farmers in his neighborhood.

  • Okay. Apparently I cried to a lot of movies.

  • Actually, I cried to this movie too.

  • Yes!

  • I cried about animated foxes, okay?

  • But the animated fox was voiced by George Clooney.

  • What was I supposed to do?

  • I really relate both to Mr. Fox

  • who is this middle-aged burnout whos's trying to pursue his passion

  • and also his son who is this kind of a

  • misfit weirdo little fox.

  • Any movie that has like a misfit character

  • like gets me in tears because of my sad lonely child complex.

  • Also the animation in this film is an absolute marvel.

  • It's all claymation.

  • So they literally sculpted clay into every single frame of the film.

  • This stuff takes years to make with a ton of animators.

  • There are 24 frames in a second

  • and they had to manipulate clay

  • for every single frame.

  • CRAZY!

  • wes Anderson is also known for having this very

  • dollhouse, quirky style

  • and I think it translates really well into animation

  • since he can create these sets that are very symmetrical

  • and he can do some interesting shots that he can't do in real life

  • when he has animation on his side.

  • So, definitely worth a watch for cinematography and also just for feelings.

  • My next film is "The social network".

  • "The social network" retells the story of Mark Zuckerberg when he dropped out of Harvard

  • to create Facebook and how it grew

  • from this little idea that he had when he was like 20

  • into a billion-dollar company

  • and the lawsuit that ensued with his co-founder .

  • Now, normally,

  • I avoid films that are based too closely on a real-life human being

  • because I feel like they try so hard to be historically accurate

  • but then it creates a really boring movie

  • because, you know, real life doesn't have perfectly timed plot twists and

  • subplots that close up.

  • But Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the screenplay for this film, did a really great job of

  • kind of twisting the facts

  • so that it would create a cohesive and

  • interesting and exciting film

  • even though it's not the most historically accurate.

  • I really appreciate that because it tells a story

  • which is what a movie is supposed to do.

  • I love Aaron Sorkin's writing as well

  • because it's very like fast-paced and witty.

  • You guys know me for being a fast fucking talker

  • Jesse Eisenberg in "The social network"

  • nearly as fast.

  • Probably, my favorite scene in all of cinematic history is the opening scene of "The social network".

  • - I don't have to study. You don't have to study. Let's just talk.

  • - I can't. - Why?

  • - Because it is exhausting. Dating you, it was like dating a Stairmaster.

  • - All I meant is that you're not likely to.

  • - Currently I wasn't making a comment on your parents. I was just saying that they were obese. I was stating a fact.

  • - That's all. If it seems rude then of course I ...

  • - I have to go study.

  • - You don't have to study.

  • - Why do you keep saying I don't ?

  • - It's because you're going to be you.

  • I have watched it so many times on YouTube

  • like over and over and over again.

  • And the dialogue is just incredibly written.

  • After I finished recording this, I'm gonna go and watch "The social network" again

  • because just talking about it

  • mmm, got me going.

  • I need some good Aaron Sorkin dialogue in my life.

  • A really wholesome

  • coming-of-age film

  • is "About time",

  • which follows a law student

  • who discovers from his father that he has the magical skill

  • to go back in time.

  • Instead of using it for some crazy back-to-the-future type of shit,

  • he uses it to help out his friends

  • and to aid his romantic life.

  • - I love your eyes

  • - Do you ?

  • - I love the rest of your face too. Haven't even looked further down. I'm sure it's all fantastic.

  • What I like about this film is

  • even though there is a solid rom-com element,

  • it's not just about the romance.

  • it's also about

  • life in general and

  • the ending philosophy of the film

  • is you don't even have to be able to travel back in time

  • to try to make your life perfect

  • and to fix all your problems

  • as long as you live each day in the moment.

  • It's as if you were able to time-travel

  • because you'll know that you've lived each day for all it's worth.

  • Wholesome. I told you it was super wholesome.

  • I have yet another rom-com.

  • Clearly, I have a soft spot for them.

  • But I love "Lala land".

  • Emma Stone plays an aspiring actress.

  • - You either follow my rules or follow my rules, capiche?

  • -Thank you.

  • - I can do it a different way.

  • -No that's, that's fine. Thank you very much

  • And Ryan Gosling plays a very stubborn but passionate jazz player

  • who wants to open his own clubs

  • and the movie is about them pursuing each other

  • and also pursuing their passion

  • and how it's hard to balance the two,

  • especially when you're young and in a hopeful...

  • in Hollywood.

  • that was a really bad explanation of "Lala land",

  • I hope you guys have watched the trailer because I fucked that up.

  • I have to say, I understand why at the Oscars people were like

  • "This is the whitest movie that's ever existed"

  • like it is so non-consequential.

  • "Lala land" is like, definitely jerking off people who worked in Hollywood.

  • It is a script written for producers in Hollywood

  • who want to read jokes about Hollywood.

  • But being a film student and living in LA

  • I love seeing like the energy of all these young hopeful people trying to make it in Hollywood,

  • just like I was

  • and it made the drudgery of interning for free 30 hours a week a little bit less hopeless.

  • Speaking of interning.

  • Actually, I used to intern for the producer of "Lala land"

  • I only got one chance to meet him since he was a very busy man

  • So like I bump into my internship, my supervisor was like " It's time for you to meet Gary".

  • So I went over to his office

  • and I am like "Hi, I'm actually the intern".

  • And he's like," Oh, I'm I'm going to the bathroom".

  • Man's had to pee

  • so then he went to the bathroom and I just like waited

  • outside the bathroom for him to be done

  • and then when he came out

  • I introduced myself and we had like an incredibly awkward 30-second exchange

  • because I just felt

  • so bad

  • that like I heard him pee.

  • Really nice guy really smart guy, but

  • really bad timing on my part.

  • Anyways, even though La Land has absolutely no social commentary at all

  • I really like the film.

  • Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling are very charming and

  • I like the message that sometimes you have to give up

  • your relationship or your dream

  • and you can't have both of them

  • because that's like the modern reality ain't it?

  • Apparently I really just like rom-coms with sad endings, but

  • that's what happens when you've been broken up with,

  • a lot.

  • My last film is just a fun one

  • and it is "The room"

  • which is reportedly the worst film ever made.

  • I couldn't give you a synopsis of this movie

  • if I fucking tried

  • I don't know what it's about.

  • It's like sharknado but worse because there's no plotline whatsoever

  • - I did not hit her. It's not true. It's bullshit. I did not hit her. I did not.

  • - Oh, Hi Mark. - Oh, hey Johnny. What's up?

  • "The room" is one of those films that you really gotta see in theaters

  • because oh boy is an experience

  • similar to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  • There are like things that the audience yells at the film basically to make fun of it

  • because it's so bad.

  • So every time the camera is out of focus, yell focus,

  • every time you see like a stock image of spoons,

  • you throw spoons at the screen.

  • There's a lot of other like, wee jokes that people in the audience yell at the screen.

  • They have a lot of screenings in LA.,

  • they do it in New York, too

  • and I think a couple other major US cities.

  • So if you are traveling to a major city this summer,

  • I'd recommend going to see it in the theater.

  • It's like a really fun time and a really unique experience.

  • Oh also, fun fact I met Tommy Wiseau

  • He's a weird dude.

  • All right. Those are all of my favorite films.

  • Yeah, I really hope you guys watch these movies

  • I feel like they really shaped who I am

  • even though that sounds very cheesy.

  • This set of movies is the reason I went to film school

  • and the thing that I hold on to, that I, like, love about

  • Hollywood

  • even I don't love that much about Hollywood. Hollywood kind of trash and full of nepotism and

  • cocaine but these films are all works of art and they keep my hopes alive

  • as a young recently graduated film student.

  • So yeah

  • let me know your recommendations down below because lord knows

  • I need to watch something instead of this 76 Marvel movies

  • that are coming out this summer.

  • I'm gonna stop rambling now.

  • Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you guys next week.

  • Bye ~

fun music playing
