Full Transcript for Zack Cregger Just Saved Resident Evil

I think it's so fun. It's such a great nod to 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.090 the video games as well. And just in general, 00:03:11.110 --> 00:03:12.849 I feel like also the direction and the writing 00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:17.569 of the whole movie was just so good. It just 00:03:17.569 --> 00:03:20.770 really, again, re -centered the franchise to 00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:24.349 something a bit more current and modern. And 00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:27.409 it did basically rotate. I've seen this around 00:03:27.409 --> 00:03:28.729 quite a bit also in social media, people saying 00:03:28.729 --> 00:03:34.009 that they found in Bryan, in Austin Abrams' Bryan, 00:03:34.169 --> 00:03:39.370 the perfect Gen Z character and, you know, protagonist. 00:03:39.949 --> 00:03:42.949 Because at the end of the day, like, this guy 00:03:42.949 --> 00:03:47.900 is so perfect. so relatable to our current generation 00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:53.370 so funny also in a way that is funny to people 00:03:53.370 --> 00:03:56.789 from you know from to gen z and i think this 00:03:56.789 --> 00:03:59.030 is just also as i was saying with the x -men 00:03:59.030 --> 00:04:04.030 and spider -man it's a general direction that 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:05.789 the industry is trying to move into and this 00:04:05.789 --> 00:04:08.949 is also of course how and why specifically um 00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:11.930 obsession worked super well because it leaned 00:04:11.930 --> 00:04:18.660 heavily gen z and this It does take an already 00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:23.579 established franchise and directs it towards 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:27.500 a more Gen Z approach and a more Gen Z humor. 00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:30.540 It just works. It just worked beautifully. I 00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:32.839 think it just revived the franchise in such a 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:35.079 beautiful way. It brought such a good breath 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.660 of fresh air that the franchise desperately needed. 00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.139 And again, this is the only Resident Evil movie 00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:44.949 that is... that has a 90 or above i think it's 00:04:44.949 --> 00:04:49.329 96 uh run tomatoes 96 and run tomato score i 00:04:49.329 --> 00:04:53.319 think most of the movies are not that they're 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.459 all rotten in terms of uh scores but just in 00:04:56.459 --> 00:04:57.899 general like the critical reception of this movie 00:04:57.899 --> 00:05:00.180 has been amazing and even surprisingly the fans 00:05:00.180 --> 00:05:04.209 which was a bit of a you know unknown given the 00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:06.089 changes they've made to the story and the fact 00:05:06.089 --> 00:05:09.350 that it's loosely related to the games We wouldn't 00:05:09.350 --> 00:05:11.810 know if this was going to work, and it worked. 00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:14.649 The fans loved it. Because, again, one, there 00:05:14.649 --> 00:05:17.889 are so many nods to the video game culture in 00:05:17.889 --> 00:05:19.889 general, but also, I think, to the actual games. 00:05:20.529 --> 00:05:24.149 Raccoon City is a real thing. Umbrella, the Umbrella 00:05:24.149 --> 00:05:29.939 Corporation is also a real thing. There are so 00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:33.399 many interesting nods to the world of the game. 00:05:35.149 --> 00:05:37.769 i just loved it i think i think it was such a 00:05:37.769 --> 00:05:40.550 good combination of taking inspiration from the 00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:43.069 games and making something completely different 00:05:43.069 --> 00:05:45.709 and of its own and in a way i think like this 00:05:45.709 --> 00:05:48.750 is such a smart idea to like just not really 00:05:48.750 --> 00:05:51.709 fully incorporate any of the games into this 00:05:51.709 --> 00:05:53.769 movie because again you would have had a lot 00:05:53.769 --> 00:05:57.430 of baggage from the movies and it would have 00:05:57.430 --> 00:06:01.410 been maybe something too niche and only for the 00:06:01.410 --> 00:06:04.449 fans of the games and movies well this opens 00:06:04.449 --> 00:06:09.230 up the the movie and potentially the future franchise 00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:12.490 if they make anything from this one they open 00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:14.470 it up to new people which they have they have 00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:18.029 done successfully i think um i mean it is one 00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:20.250 of his best performing movies already attack 00:06:20.250 --> 00:06:23.209 rangers um i think in two weeks already reached 00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:26.769 200 uh million in the box office which is incredible 00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:32.399 um and yeah i only have praises for this so here 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.759 are my elements i guess of the story the story 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.579 i think like what my thoughts at least about 00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:41.420 it i thought the the story is just again so video 00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:44.759 gamey you're just a random person a nobody basically 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.720 and by virtue of just simply doing your job you 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.860 get somehow thrust uh thrust it into this like 00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:58.769 weird um world that you know nothing of and you're 00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:02.259 nothing but an ant basically compared to how 00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:06.620 big the the lore is and it's so funny because 00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:09.810 basically um i mean of course for the warning 00:07:09.810 --> 00:07:12.769 if you haven't watched the movie but uh brian's 00:07:12.769 --> 00:07:16.550 um whole purpose and whole thing in the movie 00:07:16.550 --> 00:07:20.220 is that He's working his ass off as a... I actually 00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:21.959 don't know if there's a proper name for this 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.319 job. But he's sort of like a delivery man, but 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:28.019 for hospitals. Like, he delivers organs and transports 00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:30.300 organs from one hospital to

another and all that. 00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:34.449 And he's just trying to, like, you know, survive 00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:38.290 and live another day, basically, in his normal 00:07:38.290 --> 00:07:41.009 world. And then he accepts his job, even though 00:07:41.009 --> 00:07:44.560 he's having... problems with his girlfriend and 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.879 her possibly having a baby and him not being 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:52.509 exactly happy about it um not being sure uh and 00:07:52.509 --> 00:07:55.730 yeah i mean he just accepts this last minute 00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:58.790 job and this ends up bringing him to raccoon 00:07:58.790 --> 00:08:03.779 city eventually um and The thing, so basically 00:08:03.779 --> 00:08:06.459 we discover with him how big the lore is behind 00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:09.360 Raccoon City, because it only starts off first 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.399 with this random lady that he runs over, and 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.699 then from that on, one event leads to the other, 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.860 and it just keeps on expanding and expanding 00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:19.980 and expanding and expanding, and you realize 00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:25.459 very quickly that Brian is just simply an ant, 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.740 as I said, in this whole world. He's just not 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:31.399 aware of many things, and he's basically played 00:08:31.490 --> 00:08:34.279 around. by this massive corporation that cares 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.639 about nothing but getting rich. And there's a 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.100 lot of commentary. I mean, that's the beauty 00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:41.220 of horror sometimes. I think horror is so experimental 00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:44.039 and so daring that there are so many layers if 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:45.879 it's done properly. And there are layers to this 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.740 movie. Like, the commentary on Big Pharma and 00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:53.350 just in general, like, you know, rich people 00:08:53.350 --> 00:08:55.970 doing experimentation and, like, you know, funding 00:08:55.970 --> 00:08:58.929 their own little thing and then their mistakes 00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:02.549 affecting everyone else in the world and... They 00:09:02.549 --> 00:09:05.389 don't really give a fuck, to be honest. There's 00:09:05.389 --> 00:09:07.230 separation between, you know, the infected and 00:09:07.230 --> 00:09:09.970 the scientists on top of the tower, like in Raccoon 00:09:09.970 --> 00:09:12.049 City, and they seem to be, like, the people in 00:09:12.049 --> 00:09:14.230 the tower are completely oblivious to what's 00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:16.470 going on most of the times about what's going 00:09:16.470 --> 00:09:18.649 on. I mean, they know that there is an epidemic 00:09:18.649 --> 00:09:21.970 that they've accidentally unleashed, but they 00:09:21.970 --> 00:09:25.259 don't seem to do much except waiting for this 00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:29.059 package. And even when the package arrives and 00:09:29.059 --> 00:09:33.259 they manage to get the cure done, There's all 00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:36.480 kerfuffle about whether they should use it on 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.019 one person or not, and it's just, you know, typical, 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:45.220 typical. I know the ending is quite jarring, 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.019 but I think it works, and it works just simply 00:09:48.019 --> 00:09:52.710 in terms of how the rules of the game are. Like, 00:09:52.730 --> 00:09:55.629 this massive corporation doesn't care about Brian. 00:09:56.570 --> 00:09:58.970 They don't care about normal people. They just 00:09:58.970 --> 00:10:02.370 care about saving face and making their money 00:10:02.370 --> 00:10:05.549 back. And all that. And so when there's an opportunity 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:07.870 for Brian to be cured. Technically it doesn't 00:10:07.870 --> 00:10:11.769 happen. Because those scientists. I think they. 00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:15.429 Care more about their own lives. Rather than 00:10:15.429 --> 00:10:18.370 actually helping people. Which is technically 00:10:18.370 --> 00:10:20.169 what they're supposed to do. As scientists and 00:10:20.169 --> 00:10:24.029 doctors and whatever. So yeah. So many fun things. 00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:27.850 So many fun layers to this movie. I think also 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.600 one other element. That I really thoroughly enjoyed. 00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:34.990 Was just how scary it was. It was just so scary. 00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:37.950 Like, the jump scares in this movie are impeccable. 00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:40.230 It's a lot about vision and about framing and 00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:42.730 about how it's filmed. There are so many cues 00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:46.649 in the movie that, you know, I thought, for example, 00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:49.230 the simple idea of him, which, again, is very 00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:51.850 theater game inspired, of Brian going around 00:10:51.850 --> 00:10:57.259 with a torch or, like, a phone flashlight. So, 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.399 therefore, like, walking in the dark, and we 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.240 get to see him from his POV, whatever he sees, 00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:04.730 which is... practically almost nothing made it 00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:08.789 so much more enticing and scary because you you 00:11:08.789 --> 00:11:10.149 wouldn't know what was going to come out of these 00:11:10.149 --> 00:11:12.570 woods or whatever it was out in in the in the 00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:16.549 big tunnel or in the city it's just it was just 00:11:16.549 --> 00:11:19.610 so so well done so well directed so well shot 00:11:19.610 --> 00:11:24.120 and again yeah the movie is mostly happening 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.559 in a night in the dark but the use of lights 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:32.100 here is also quite quite interesting and quite 00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:36.080 um quite innovative i mean i think for example 00:11:36.080

--> 00:11:39.279 like the the back lights of the of the car for 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.620 example create this like hue this red hue that 00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:44.860 is super ominous and you can see also in the 00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:47.580 poster it's very similar to that and the icy 00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:54.519 um snowy uh roads are so you know atmospheric 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:59.350 in a way and then there's the one shot of the 00:11:59.350 --> 00:12:01.330 zombie disappearing and then reappearing back 00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:04.070 and he's and the only way we see it is because 00:12:04.070 --> 00:12:08.590 she starts running um and covering the lights 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:10.789 of it of another car so like we you wouldn't 00:12:10.789 --> 00:12:13.730 even notice it until it pops out of nowhere it's 00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:15.730 just the use of lights it's just incredible in 00:12:15.730 --> 00:12:21.149 this so smart and so creative um everybody's 00:12:21.409 --> 00:12:25.590 so creative this is so good it's really really 00:12:25.590 --> 00:12:29.350 good um And yeah, I mean, there's a whole, also, 00:12:29.429 --> 00:12:34.450 monologue that Brian gives to his girlfriend 00:12:34.450 --> 00:12:38.990 who's pregnant. This, I think, happens right 00:12:38.990 --> 00:12:40.509 towards the end of the movie, if I remember correctly, 00:12:40.649 --> 00:12:43.669 like, right before he gets to the tower. And 00:12:43.669 --> 00:12:48.720 it's just funny. Even the way it's, like, delivered 00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:52.960 is just really, really good. But also, like, 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.720 there's a lot of comedic timings in this whole 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.679 movie that are just so well done. And I'm impressed. 00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:02.440 I mean, uh, Brian's, um, actor, like, that's, 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:05.399 um, I always forget his name, man, like, uh, 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.769 Austin Abrams, I've always thought he was great 00:13:08.769 --> 00:13:11.149 in Euphoria, I always thought he was great, um, 00:13:11.330 --> 00:13:14.669 in that, like, he really acted his ass off, especially 00:13:14.669 --> 00:13:18.289 when, uh, the musical thing happened in the season 00:13:18.289 --> 00:13:21.429 two, the second season, like, at the end, so 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.879 charming and charismatic in that, it was so funny, 00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:27.169 um, And then also in weapons, I thought it was 00:13:27.169 --> 00:13:31.049 good for what he had in terms of scenes. But 00:13:31.049 --> 00:13:36.250 here, he really shines. I think it's a perfect 00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:39.750 role for him. I'm not quite sure who else could 00:13:39.750 --> 00:13:41.649 have played this role, to be honest. I don't 00:13:41.649 --> 00:13:43.070 think it would have worked as well, especially 00:13:43.070 --> 00:13:46.509 in terms of tone. He's one of the few people 00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:51.559 who can give this performance that is about this 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.580 innocent, technically, youngster who is... low 00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:57.379 -key kind of funny but also doesn't understand 00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:59.919 much about what's going on around him and just 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.200 is trying his best to survive and also doesn't 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.019 know anything about guns which is also a very 00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:09.259 funny element to the um to the movie like he 00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:11.320 literally every turns he picks up a gun he doesn't 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.080 know how to use it and it just uh most of the 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.440 times ends up being a mess so yeah i mean kudos 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:23.320 to him i think that was um such a good revelation 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.919 such a good trampoline for him. And I think we 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.299 have unlocked a new director -ex -actor combo 00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:36.929 in a sense. They work really well together. I 00:14:36.929 --> 00:14:39.789 think it was just a good match, the way they've 00:14:39.789 --> 00:14:43.129 directed the movie and he acted in it. So, yeah, 00:14:43.490 --> 00:14:48.110 I mean, I guess what I want to talk about now 00:14:48.110 --> 00:14:50.049 is just the potential of this movie and what 00:14:50.049 --> 00:14:55.870 this could mean for the, just in general, the 00:14:55.870 --> 00:14:57.750 franchise long term and if there's going to be 00:14:57.750 --> 00:15:00.090 a franchise coming out of this or not i mean 00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:03.870 i would i would say it should there should be 00:15:03.870 --> 00:15:06.889 something else coming out of this although it's 00:15:06.889 --> 00:15:11.419 it really seems that suck record is um sort of 00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:16.279 like directing to um another movie with jennifer 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:19.919 lawrence i think it was um that was fun that 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:22.470 seems fun But I think they should really hone 00:15:22.470 --> 00:15:24.350 in on Resident Evil and have him come back because 00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:29.610 he does a great, great job at this. So, yeah. 00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:32.100 I mean, there's so many things that now you can 00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:34.000 incorporate also if you want to get more inspiration 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.480 from the movies. Sorry, from the big games. If 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.639 you want to start bringing in new characters 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.759 from the games, that would be super fun. I think 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:45.899 it's such a good idea. And there are so many 00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:47.480 good storylines you could do and so many things 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.639 you could say. But again, I think if it's not... 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:53.980 i mean unfortunately um i'll say abrams cannot 00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:57.559 come back for a future resident evil movie maybe 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.179 he can there are some ways

of bringing him back 00:15:59.179 --> 00:16:03.580 but nothing too sure because he's technically 00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:07.259 turns into a zombie at the end um spoiler but 00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:11.860 yeah i think it would be great for him to come 00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:15.600 back as a gregor and to direct a new movie i 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.120 think there's a good potential here i personally 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.759 love zombie movies but i think Most of the times 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.120 I haven't done anything as scary as this. This 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.820 has been really, really good. The tendrils situation, 00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:32.139 the way they mutate the zombies to make them 00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:37.120 look like, you know, like one big clump of bodies 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.289 was just so weird, but so effective. And he managed 00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:44.710 it so much, man. Like in Raccoon City, just in 00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:46.669 a small amount of time that we spent in there, 00:16:46.889 --> 00:16:50.649 it just fleshed out, he fleshed out the city 00:16:50.649 --> 00:16:53.919 so well and the lore behind it. So, so good. 00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:56.720 I cannot speak any better. Like, you know, I 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:58.220 feel like you guys should, like, if you haven't 00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:59.460 watched it already, you should definitely go 00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:01.860 and watch the movie. It's scary. It is scary. 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.920 I can't believe it's rated 15, but at least here 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:09.809 in the UK. But that's scary as fuck. I got scared 00:17:09.809 --> 00:17:12.289 multiple times. Jump scared so many times. But 00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:14.910 you need to watch it. It's so good. So, so good. 00:17:15.009 --> 00:17:18.170 An entertaining time. A beautiful time. So, yeah. 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.500 Thank you, Zach Greger, for bringing back Resident 00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:25.240 Evil. That's... A big task and you accomplished 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.299 it. Kudos. Words for sponsor none song of the 00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:42.670 week. One thing I've been trying to do lately 00:17:42.670 --> 00:17:46.589 is to cut back a little on caffeine without giving 00:17:46.589 --> 00:17:48.809 up the ritual of having a really good cup of 00:17:48.809 --> 00:17:51.390 coffee. And that's why I also want to tell you 00:17:51.390 --> 00:17:55.490 about Severista Coffee. They make craft decaf 00:17:55.490 --> 00:17:57.450 and half -caf coffee that actually tastes like 00:17:57.450 --> 00:18:01.730 normal ones. And they're both rich, bold, and 00:18:01.730 --> 00:18:06.390 also, most importantly, full of flavor. use premium 00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:09.279 arabica beans and naturally decaffeinate them 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.640 using water or sugarcane derived processes so 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:14.319 you're not sacrificing the great coffee flavor 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.839 just because you want less caffeine and the small 00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:20.140 uh batch roast their beans which i really like 00:18:20.140 --> 00:18:22.339 as well and it does make a lot of a difference 00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:24.940 they've got some great options too their colombian 00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:27.039 inspiration decaf as a chocolate caramel and 00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.839 citrus notes and their total eclipse is a darker 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.420 roast with walnut baker's chocolate and molasses 00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:34.359 and if you want something a little more indulgent 00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.319 that's where bourbon pecan and minted mocha are 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:42.029 for you they also do half cav if you're looking 00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:45.849 for the middle ground and enough of a boost without 00:18:45.849 --> 00:18:48.309 going all in on caffeine. So if you're a coffee 00:18:48.309 --> 00:18:51.490 person just like me, and who's been thinking 00:18:51.490 --> 00:18:53.009 about cutting back on caffeine specifically, 00:18:53.309 --> 00:18:55.829 or just want a great cup of coffee you can really 00:18:55.829 --> 00:18:58.450 enjoy later in the day as well, you can check 00:18:58.450 --> 00:19:02.230 out Severista.

Oh my god, I forget 00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:24.690 her name now. But basically, the actress posted 00:20:24.690 --> 00:20:30.250 a behind -the -scenes situation, like a

carousel 00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:33.390 of photos from the set of Sense and Sensibility, 00:20:33.509 --> 00:20:38.529 and she put this song on Instagram as part of 00:20:38.529 --> 00:20:41.759 the photos, and it was... When I heard it, I 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:43.759 was like, oh my god, this is actually so good. 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:49.329 It's such a good song. And yeah, this is an old 00:20:49.329 --> 00:20:54.150 song. It's from the late 70s, and it keeps on 00:20:54.150 --> 00:20:56.809 resurfacing every now and then, apparently, especially 00:20:56.809 --> 00:21:04.019 for the Brits. It has inspired a lot of artists, 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.819 of course. Wim Butler from Arcade Fire released 00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:12.059 a cover, for example. of the song under his dj 00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:16.839 alias uh dj windows 98 there's you know basically 00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:20.579 a dj version of this as well so it just keeps 00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:23.660 on finding its ways in but it's a very 70s uh 00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:28.119 song very like again fitting with the title but 00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.079 like a very dreamy production very cute um it 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.549 was also If I remember correctly, in Civil War, 00:21:35.710 --> 00:21:42.190 the movie, the A24 Civil War movie that was released 00:21:42.190 --> 00:21:47.109 in A24 by Alex Garland. But yeah, very, very 00:21:47.109 --> 00:21:49.970 fun. Such a good track. Very soundtrack -y, I 00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:53.890 guess. So it fits. Then I have La Pluie by Luan. 00:21:54.549 --> 00:21:57.809 This French song, French pop. It's so good. I 00:21:57.809 --> 00:22:00.309 mean, I've gotten into the repertoire of Luan. 00:22:02.509 --> 00:22:08.369 She mostly does ballads and, like, piano songs, 00:22:08.609 --> 00:22:12.170 like, slower tracks. This is one of the few upbeat 00:22:12.170 --> 00:22:15.450 songs that she does, and it's so good. It's produced 00:22:15.450 --> 00:22:19.970 by Tristan Salvati, who worked with Angel, like, 00:22:19.970 --> 00:22:24.750 very famously. And so it makes sense. Like, the 00:22:24.750 --> 00:22:30.710 song is very Angel -coded in that sense. So, 00:22:30.710 --> 00:22:35.559 yeah. Their partnership, you know brings like 00:22:35.559 --> 00:22:37.779 a very good actual pop like track basically like 00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:42.309 having Catchy rhythms and also super super catchy 00:22:42.309 --> 00:22:48.160 Chorus so love it. I just cannot listen to it 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:54.180 like it's that good Yeah Definitely if you like 00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:57.470 want to explore a bit more of the French pop 00:22:57.470 --> 00:23:00.549 situation, this is it. This is a good one then 00:23:00.619 --> 00:23:05.089 I have Pillified by Ms. Tenashi from her latest 00:23:05.089 --> 00:23:08.670 album Popstar, I think it's called. Yeah. Anyways, 00:23:08.730 --> 00:23:14.000 this was released a few weeks ago with I'd Rather 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.819 Be Alone as well as singles to the album as well. 00:23:18.329 --> 00:23:23.309 Like, this song is just so, so good. Such a good 00:23:23.309 --> 00:23:27.769 R &B track as well. The production is super captivating. 00:23:27.849 --> 00:23:32.150 Her vocal... style in this track is just amazing 00:23:32.150 --> 00:23:38.240 so so polished Latin actually is the one of the 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:40.299 quintessential architects of pop that works behind 00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:43.480 the scenes like she is inspiring as fuck so and 00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:45.119 this is proof of that just go listen to this 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.619 it's so so good and then I have another old song 00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:50.859 uh right into the sun by the velvet underground 00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:58.849 uh this was released also quite a while ago Maybe 00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:05.529 in 1969, I can't remember. But, yeah. Like, the 00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:10.670 remastered version, like the mix made in 2014, 00:24:10.970 --> 00:24:13.329 is the version that I prefer the most about the 00:24:13.329 --> 00:24:18.440 song. And it recently resurfaced in my go -to 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.259 songs, and it's just a classic. I don't know 00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:23.539 if you guys know this song, but if you do like 00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:25.380 The Velvet Underground, this is like a legendary 00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:30.490 song. Like, just... so so good it was originally 00:24:30.490 --> 00:24:35.210 recording i think in 1969 but um apparently didn't 00:24:35.210 --> 00:24:39.799 make it didn't make it until onto the album until 00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:46.759 later on until i think 1986 uh so yeah it's it's 00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.099 a bit of like it's been played live ever since 00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:52.160 it was out but it's such a good good track um 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:57.420 i definitely recommend listen to this very cinematic 00:24:57.420 --> 00:25:00.549 as well Super, super good. And by the way, Unground 00:25:00.549 --> 00:25:03.150 is just legendary. Like, you need to know the 00:25:03.150 --> 00:25:05.869 view of Unground's music. Like, it's just that 00:25:05.869 --> 00:25:10.019 good. Yeah, so these are the songs that I, you 00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:13.420 know, suggest for the week that I've been listening 00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:19.779 to on repeat. Very fun, very good stuff.
