00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:10.480
Welcome to DMR, Dewey's Movie Reviews, the Red Carpet Treatment.
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.759
Enjoy the show.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.199
Alright, alright, alright.
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.559
So welcome back to DMR.
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.399
Thank you for tuning back in as always.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:21.600
Much obliged.
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:30.800
So I hope you enjoyed my review for disclosure day out now on all the major video formats, Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast Video.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:39.359
And we are very psyched to be an early participant in the Apple Podcast video format shows or one of the shows.
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.119
A lot of the bigger shows aren't on that format as of yet, so we're pretty pumped about that.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.359
But in order to keep things ticking along quite nicely, I'm going to be mixing it up.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.119
So I'm going to be doing my audio reviews only, which are the shorter format reviews.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:01.200
I'm going to be doing the longer video format reviews for bigger films that come out.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.920
And of course, the interviews, the DMA 4K vault interviews.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:16.640
We've got a new guest coming up next week, and we've got a fair few others that are looking to come on the show over August and September.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.319
So it's going to be pretty good.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.439
Pretty, pretty pumped.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.680
Haven't seen the Odyssey as of yet.
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.480
That is making all the big headlines at the moment, despite the casting controversy.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.480
Apparently it's null and void.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.000
The scores on Rotten Tomatoes for the Odyssey are up in the high 90s.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.879
So I think no one is going to knock this one out of the park, despite all the hoo-ha around it.
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.239
So a reminder that DMR is part of the Audible Creators program.
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.879
So what does that mean for you, the listener at home?
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.799
Well, there's a link in my bio or in the show.
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.400
You can jump on that link.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.359
It will take you over to Audible and you can start a 30-day free trial on behalf of DMR.
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.280
That's right, 30 days for free.
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.200
So what I can suggest, I'm going to be reviewing a kids' movie today.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.879
So jump on Audible and grab Pig the Pug.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.039
I listened to this audio book of 10 stories with my eldest boy Axel.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.520
He really does love Pig the Pug.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.639
And I'm not sure if it's all of the Pig the Pug books, but there's definitely 10 stories there.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.240
And that's definitely on Audible.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.520
So if you've got kids, they will love that one.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.639
And you can support DMAR if you stick around past the 30 days, terms and conditions do apply.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.120
So, alright, so this review is going to be for minions and monsters.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:44.639
So I went and saw a couple of kids' movies this week with my elders, it was Minions and Monsters and also Toy Story 5.
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.479
So let's go over Minions and Monsters.
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.840
It's going to be a shorter review, more of a bite-sized review of what I thought about the film.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.560
Oh, you see those large, heavily armed men?
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.800
They suspect you have killed their leader.
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.360
Uh click?
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:01.759
Okay.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:23.759
That was all right.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.039
So on Rotten Tomatoes here, Minions and Monsters.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.560
It's a PG rating.
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.360
It's now playing.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.840
It's a one hour and thirty minutes, bang on.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.199
90 minutes.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.280
It's for kids, family, comedy, adventure, and animation.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.560
Animation there.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.520
So Minions and Monsters, a 2026 film.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.800
On Rotten Tomatoes, it's certified fresh at 89% from the critics and 75% from the audience.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.439
So the synopsis is please hold while your call is transferred.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:18.720
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous, and totally true story of how the minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world, and then banded together to try and save the planet from Mayhem they had just created.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.279
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:33.360
So moving further down here, in terms of we got here the critics consensus, and the audience says, Critics consensus, the minions bring their pungents pangeants?
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.399
What is that word there?
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.680
Not entirely sure.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:49.439
For mayhem to Hollywood history in this affectionate and charming send up of movie making magic, turning out the franchise's most roundly enjoyable entry yet.
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:59.680
Audience says balancing cuteness and chaos to hilarious slapstick effect, minions and monsters proves that more minions the merrier.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:03.120
So got down here, got here blah blah blah.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.600
We've got critics reviews.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:15.199
If this seventh iteration of the Despigable Me franchise isn't a laugh right, it's at least a Chuckle Fest three out of five.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.879
We've got here four out of five.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:25.519
Watching the minions being fed through modern times, industrial cogs of gate crashing, Busters Keaton, Steamboat, Bill Jr.
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:26.720
is a joy.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.000
Cast and crew.
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.199
Now this is a bit interesting.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:11.360
So you'd think that they would have the characters named or matching the cast members.
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.720
It just says voice.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.240
So we've got here the director, which is Pierre Coffin.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.959
He is one of the voice actors.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.639
You've also got Alison Janey.
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:21.920
Christoph Waltz is in it.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.720
I could pick up on his voice a little bit.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.639
And I thought, yeah, that's definitely him.
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.839
You've also got Jeff Bridges.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.959
He plays a very overweight set of twins.
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.000
I think it's both of them.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.240
Jesse Eisenberg, Zoe Diach, Dutch, Bobby Mohoyane, Phil Lamar.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.519
It just says we've got Trey Parker in there from South Park 2.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.439
It just basically says voice.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.240
Very strange.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.680
I don't know why that doesn't say who the characters are.
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.560
But getting back to the movie itself.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.680
So minions, so where does it kind of kick off from?
00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:00.000
So the minions are always looking for an evil master to basically serve.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:13.040
And the movie kicks off well back in time, back in the ancient times, where I think they're in ancient Greece, and they come across a giant Cyclops and starts from there basically serving him.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:22.000
And with the minions, all hell kind of breaks loose, even though they mean well to try to serve their masters, they end up killing, I think, all of them.
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.519
Along the way, they I think it's a wizard they come across, and they come across a book of monsters.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:56.639
And as time rolls on through the ages, we see them going from master to master to master, basically killing every one of them that they serve, and trying to continue to find who their next evil master is, and then we kind of roll up into the 19, could be the 1930s and 1920s in Hollywood, and they kind of stumble into acting and directing and whatnot, and the movies primarily focused around a lot of that.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:15.920
They become very successful and very rich as well in terms of what they do back in that particular period, and then something happens during the film where they have to do some speaking parts, but I'm pretty sure they will speak, it's I think it might be Spanish.
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:24.800
They will speak kind of Spanish in the film, and they can't actually speak English, they get fired from the studio, and they want to start their own movie.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:39.200
Christoph Waltz is the main director who is their friend and says, Well, you need a monster, you need a camera, and they remember that they have this book of monsters, and they conjure up a lot of different styles.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:47.200
I think there's three styles of monsters, four potentially, and they unleash a whole heap of different monsters on Hollywood.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.799
So that's basically the plot in a nutshell.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.600
So let's go over my thoughts about the particular film, The Verdict.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:03.519
Again, this is gonna be a bite-sized review, and I'll tell you if it's worth seeing with your kids or not.
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.639
You wrote a monster movie?
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.679
What are you going to use for your monster?
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.720
Alright, so Minions and Monsters.
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.279
So again, it's an hour and a half movie.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.519
The runtime on it is fair, very fair for a kid's film.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.240
My eldest was very much enjoying the film as we watched it.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:09.440
The good thing about it as well, it was a through the week, because I'm off work at the moment, through the week, and the cinemas were probably about 80% full during school holidays.
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:21.120
This is my kind of first school holidays, I suppose, with my kid that's in kindergarten, and got time off, a couple weeks off, so it's for the first kind of time that I'm going to the cinema during this time.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:27.759
School holidays that is so I'm seeing firsthand what it's like with a busy cinema.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:41.679
Again, it's good numbers, it's good numbers, which is it's encouraging to see because I see a lot of stuff that is not kids-related movies or whatnot, and a lot of the time you go on the weekends, it's not full at all.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.440
It's probably about 80% empty.
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.000
So that probably won't be the case with the Odyssey, but it's still good nonetheless.
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.440
So the storyline in it, it is a high-octane kids movie.
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.360
This thing does not slow down at all.
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:58.159
From start to finish, you don't really get a breath in it, and it's always in your face.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.720
That can be a good thing and a bad thing, but I found it pretty enjoyable.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:13.039
Again, it wasn't bored on my phone or anything like that, and the storyline flowed quite well, especially when it's set in the early or the golden age of cinema.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.080
So, cinematography in it again, it's a cartoon, so it all looks very crisp up on the screen when you are watching it, and they're very funny.
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:29.120
The minions are quite funny little dudes when you watch them, and it was quite an enjoyable film.
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:42.559
So we've got back here Universal Pictures is the distributor, uh, came out in well, I only came out this month, so all in all, did I feel that the Minions and Monsters was a good movie?
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.759
Yeah, it is, it's a good solid family movie.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.919
There's a lot to choose from these days as well.
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:49.519
Toy Story was quite good.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:12:00.960
I may do a review on that, but if it is still school holidays for you, it's pretty pretty good film to take your kids to go and see worth the movie stub.
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:12.320
So I would probably give it a I don't know about my best rating to go and see it at the movies because it again it's for kids, but you can definitely buy it on Blu-ray or 4K if it comes out.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:20.639
But I'm sure your kids will love this particular film, so again, not bad at all, not a bad kids movie.
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.200
So go and check that one out if you will.
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.039
So thank you for tuning in to my review, bite-sized review.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:41.039
We're gonna again be mixing it up, as I said, with audio, the deep dive, 4K videos for larger movies, and of course the 4K DMR vault with the interviews that we've got coming up.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:47.919
So stay tuned, it's gonna be a pretty big back end of 2026.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:58.320
Very busy canvassing at the moment, and we're getting some very good replies and people that are interested, and not only just canvassing, people are approaching DMR as well, which is good.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.639
We've got publicist that are emailing us directly, so it's a very encouraging sign.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:08.559
So thank you for tuning in, and as per usual, leaders on the menji.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:30.480
Uh uh, but this for the uh you've just experienced DMR, the red carpet treatment.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.000
Now, get your eyes to the movies.
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:10.480
Welcome to DMR, Dewey's Movie Reviews, the Red Carpet Treatment.
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:15.759
Enjoy the show.
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.199
Alright, alright, alright.
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:18.559
So welcome back to DMR.
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.399
Thank you for tuning back in as always.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:21.600
Much obliged.
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:30.800
So I hope you enjoyed my review for disclosure day out now on all the major video formats, Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast Video.
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:39.359
And we are very psyched to be an early participant in the Apple Podcast video format shows or one of the shows.
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.119
A lot of the bigger shows aren't on that format as of yet, so we're pretty pumped about that.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:49.359
But in order to keep things ticking along quite nicely, I'm going to be mixing it up.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:55.119
So I'm going to be doing my audio reviews only, which are the shorter format reviews.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:01.200
I'm going to be doing the longer video format reviews for bigger films that come out.
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.920
And of course, the interviews, the DMA 4K vault interviews.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:16.640
We've got a new guest coming up next week, and we've got a fair few others that are looking to come on the show over August and September.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.319
So it's going to be pretty good.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:19.439
Pretty, pretty pumped.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.680
Haven't seen the Odyssey as of yet.
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.480
That is making all the big headlines at the moment, despite the casting controversy.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.480
Apparently it's null and void.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.000
The scores on Rotten Tomatoes for the Odyssey are up in the high 90s.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.879
So I think no one is going to knock this one out of the park, despite all the hoo-ha around it.
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.239
So a reminder that DMR is part of the Audible Creators program.
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.879
So what does that mean for you, the listener at home?
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.799
Well, there's a link in my bio or in the show.
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.400
You can jump on that link.
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.359
It will take you over to Audible and you can start a 30-day free trial on behalf of DMR.
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.280
That's right, 30 days for free.
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.200
So what I can suggest, I'm going to be reviewing a kids' movie today.
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.879
So jump on Audible and grab Pig the Pug.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.039
I listened to this audio book of 10 stories with my eldest boy Axel.
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.520
He really does love Pig the Pug.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.639
And I'm not sure if it's all of the Pig the Pug books, but there's definitely 10 stories there.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.240
And that's definitely on Audible.
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.520
So if you've got kids, they will love that one.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.639
And you can support DMAR if you stick around past the 30 days, terms and conditions do apply.
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.120
So, alright, so this review is going to be for minions and monsters.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:44.639
So I went and saw a couple of kids' movies this week with my elders, it was Minions and Monsters and also Toy Story 5.
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.479
So let's go over Minions and Monsters.
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.840
It's going to be a shorter review, more of a bite-sized review of what I thought about the film.
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.560
Oh, you see those large, heavily armed men?
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.800
They suspect you have killed their leader.
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:01.360
Uh click?
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:01.759
Okay.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:23.759
That was all right.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.039
So on Rotten Tomatoes here, Minions and Monsters.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.560
It's a PG rating.
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.360
It's now playing.
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.840
It's a one hour and thirty minutes, bang on.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.199
90 minutes.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.280
It's for kids, family, comedy, adventure, and animation.
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:38.560
Animation there.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.520
So Minions and Monsters, a 2026 film.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.800
On Rotten Tomatoes, it's certified fresh at 89% from the critics and 75% from the audience.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.439
So the synopsis is please hold while your call is transferred.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:18.720
This is the rambunctious, ridiculous, and totally true story of how the minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world, and then banded together to try and save the planet from Mayhem they had just created.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.279
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:33.360
So moving further down here, in terms of we got here the critics consensus, and the audience says, Critics consensus, the minions bring their pungents pangeants?
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:34.399
What is that word there?
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.680
Not entirely sure.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:49.439
For mayhem to Hollywood history in this affectionate and charming send up of movie making magic, turning out the franchise's most roundly enjoyable entry yet.
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:59.680
Audience says balancing cuteness and chaos to hilarious slapstick effect, minions and monsters proves that more minions the merrier.
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:03.120
So got down here, got here blah blah blah.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.600
We've got critics reviews.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:15.199
If this seventh iteration of the Despigable Me franchise isn't a laugh right, it's at least a Chuckle Fest three out of five.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.879
We've got here four out of five.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:25.519
Watching the minions being fed through modern times, industrial cogs of gate crashing, Busters Keaton, Steamboat, Bill Jr.
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:26.720
is a joy.
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.000
Cast and crew.
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.199
Now this is a bit interesting.
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:11.360
So you'd think that they would have the characters named or matching the cast members.
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:12.720
It just says voice.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.240
So we've got here the director, which is Pierre Coffin.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.959
He is one of the voice actors.
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.639
You've also got Alison Janey.
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:21.920
Christoph Waltz is in it.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.720
I could pick up on his voice a little bit.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.639
And I thought, yeah, that's definitely him.
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.839
You've also got Jeff Bridges.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.959
He plays a very overweight set of twins.
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:32.000
I think it's both of them.
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.240
Jesse Eisenberg, Zoe Diach, Dutch, Bobby Mohoyane, Phil Lamar.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.519
It just says we've got Trey Parker in there from South Park 2.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.439
It just basically says voice.
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:44.240
Very strange.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.680
I don't know why that doesn't say who the characters are.
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.560
But getting back to the movie itself.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.680
So minions, so where does it kind of kick off from?
00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:00.000
So the minions are always looking for an evil master to basically serve.
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:13.040
And the movie kicks off well back in time, back in the ancient times, where I think they're in ancient Greece, and they come across a giant Cyclops and starts from there basically serving him.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:22.000
And with the minions, all hell kind of breaks loose, even though they mean well to try to serve their masters, they end up killing, I think, all of them.
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.519
Along the way, they I think it's a wizard they come across, and they come across a book of monsters.
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:56.639
And as time rolls on through the ages, we see them going from master to master to master, basically killing every one of them that they serve, and trying to continue to find who their next evil master is, and then we kind of roll up into the 19, could be the 1930s and 1920s in Hollywood, and they kind of stumble into acting and directing and whatnot, and the movies primarily focused around a lot of that.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:15.920
They become very successful and very rich as well in terms of what they do back in that particular period, and then something happens during the film where they have to do some speaking parts, but I'm pretty sure they will speak, it's I think it might be Spanish.
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:24.800
They will speak kind of Spanish in the film, and they can't actually speak English, they get fired from the studio, and they want to start their own movie.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:39.200
Christoph Waltz is the main director who is their friend and says, Well, you need a monster, you need a camera, and they remember that they have this book of monsters, and they conjure up a lot of different styles.
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:47.200
I think there's three styles of monsters, four potentially, and they unleash a whole heap of different monsters on Hollywood.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.799
So that's basically the plot in a nutshell.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.600
So let's go over my thoughts about the particular film, The Verdict.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:03.519
Again, this is gonna be a bite-sized review, and I'll tell you if it's worth seeing with your kids or not.
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.639
You wrote a monster movie?
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.679
What are you going to use for your monster?
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.720
Alright, so Minions and Monsters.
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.279
So again, it's an hour and a half movie.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:55.519
The runtime on it is fair, very fair for a kid's film.
00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:00.240
My eldest was very much enjoying the film as we watched it.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:09.440
The good thing about it as well, it was a through the week, because I'm off work at the moment, through the week, and the cinemas were probably about 80% full during school holidays.
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:21.120
This is my kind of first school holidays, I suppose, with my kid that's in kindergarten, and got time off, a couple weeks off, so it's for the first kind of time that I'm going to the cinema during this time.
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:27.759
School holidays that is so I'm seeing firsthand what it's like with a busy cinema.
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:41.679
Again, it's good numbers, it's good numbers, which is it's encouraging to see because I see a lot of stuff that is not kids-related movies or whatnot, and a lot of the time you go on the weekends, it's not full at all.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.440
It's probably about 80% empty.
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.000
So that probably won't be the case with the Odyssey, but it's still good nonetheless.
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.440
So the storyline in it, it is a high-octane kids movie.
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.360
This thing does not slow down at all.
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:58.159
From start to finish, you don't really get a breath in it, and it's always in your face.
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.720
That can be a good thing and a bad thing, but I found it pretty enjoyable.
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:13.039
Again, it wasn't bored on my phone or anything like that, and the storyline flowed quite well, especially when it's set in the early or the golden age of cinema.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.080
So, cinematography in it again, it's a cartoon, so it all looks very crisp up on the screen when you are watching it, and they're very funny.
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:29.120
The minions are quite funny little dudes when you watch them, and it was quite an enjoyable film.
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:42.559
So we've got back here Universal Pictures is the distributor, uh, came out in well, I only came out this month, so all in all, did I feel that the Minions and Monsters was a good movie?
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.759
Yeah, it is, it's a good solid family movie.
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.919
There's a lot to choose from these days as well.
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:49.519
Toy Story was quite good.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:12:00.960
I may do a review on that, but if it is still school holidays for you, it's pretty pretty good film to take your kids to go and see worth the movie stub.
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:12.320
So I would probably give it a I don't know about my best rating to go and see it at the movies because it again it's for kids, but you can definitely buy it on Blu-ray or 4K if it comes out.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:20.639
But I'm sure your kids will love this particular film, so again, not bad at all, not a bad kids movie.
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.200
So go and check that one out if you will.
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.039
So thank you for tuning in to my review, bite-sized review.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:41.039
We're gonna again be mixing it up, as I said, with audio, the deep dive, 4K videos for larger movies, and of course the 4K DMR vault with the interviews that we've got coming up.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:47.919
So stay tuned, it's gonna be a pretty big back end of 2026.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:58.320
Very busy canvassing at the moment, and we're getting some very good replies and people that are interested, and not only just canvassing, people are approaching DMR as well, which is good.
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.639
We've got publicist that are emailing us directly, so it's a very encouraging sign.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:08.559
So thank you for tuning in, and as per usual, leaders on the menji.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:30.480
Uh uh, but this for the uh you've just experienced DMR, the red carpet treatment.
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.000
Now, get your eyes to the movies.
