If you watch interviews with Aretha back in the 60s, she's very quiet, reserved and shy. It isn't until she becomes more popular and somehow realizes how much impact she's having that she is able to come out of her shell.
Exactly 🤷🏽♀️
I want a documentary of Janet Jackson’s view of being Aretha’s neighbor. I think the generational/female/finding strength/moving forward would be gorgeous!!
That would be an amazing movie. Starring Halle Bailey and Brittany Howard!
Y'all spoiling us today with 3 uploads!! Thanks for making em. Enjoy your weekend! 💖
Respect is a conventional biopic but Hudson’s performance is undeniable. She truly captures Aretha’s essence. The Queen of Soul would’ve been proud.
OMG!! Nick you definitely win a cookie for your achievement ❤🥰 proud of you, p.s. I'm not being a smartass
I love both J. Hudson & Ms. Franklin. Great Review, Fish Jelly, Thanks🤩
My Aretha Pop Top 5: 5) Until You Come Back 4) Giving Him Something He Can Feel 3) You Make Me Feel...2) I Say A Little Prayer 1) RESPECT
The gospel is so good it would have to have it's own Top 5.
I thought this movie could of been so much better. Thanks guys great review ❤!
THAT'S ALOf of movies!!! I don't think I have seen that many...lord!
Wow, you could tell both of you guys are big Aretha fans and wanted more in-depth about her life. Honestly I knew this movie wasn't going to work. Like Joseph said, someone that's a legend like Aretha is almost impossible to do justice. FACTS!!!🙌🙌
It Hurts Like Hell ftom the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack!
I know this is a year later, but did anyone mention that at least one of her sons was said to be by her father? At least the first one. You probably have heard that by now.
No cap, Nick might be eligible for the Guiness Book of World Records! Lol wow! Thank you for the review as always :)
When Nick talked about Got 2 Be Real, I fell out. I thought I was the only who watched that persistently.
Great review. I had no idea Janet lived across from Aretha in LA. Loved that tidbit 🖤 that's a good to focus on the just recording the album and having some flashbacks. 🖤 Mariah Carey did a podcast with Questlove and she talked about trying to get some rehearsal time with Aretha for Divas Live. Mariah does an impression of Aretha that makes me laugh. 🖤🖤
Nick-you are dedicated and I’m so glad that you and Joseph are iconic balancing personal/professional. Joseph-I’m with you on Patty and Chaka. However, like Nick-my parents were very Blues Brothers oriented and I saw it a lot-later learning my mom-a singer in the 70s-met Aretha and sang with her for a night. Anyway, I love love love your (both) take with all of this.
Impressive. I love your knowledge of horror films. Thought i knew my shit haha
Most legends should do biopics like New Edition 2-4 part miniseries. Two hour movies rarely has enough time to capture accurately their life.
LOL when Nick mentioned the Got 2 B Real parody I almost fell out of my chair😂😂😂 its definitely a gem!!
💯
I hate they brushed over the childhood pregnancy and the trauma she coped with drink-was it the estate or what? I’m with you guys-wait what?! How did this silence her and the church is what brings her voice out?
Her dad forced her to sing at church
Delighted you mentioned the TH-cam series Got 2 Real, one of my favorite go to events, but when you described Aretha’s Amazing Grace project it reminded me of the controversial Wendy Williams Show Review. Would love to see you review classic films of old but be careful describing the Natural Women of old to the Superficial look of today’s stars.
Finally, someone else who’s seen more movies than me 😆 On a side note: my grandmother met a sister of Aretha’s before I was born and gave her a necklace that had little locks on it. We still have the necklace. My grandmother has early onset Alzheimer’s now so maybe I should have her relay the story to me one more time. Anyway, that’s my connection to Aretha.
I also keep a spreadsheet. I average about 200+ in theaters per year, 10,000 is INSANE but kind of awesome. Congrats nick
I might have had an Excel spreadsheet at one point....... 😂
@@nocontextwhatever you should see if u can find it!
@@AntsMovies it’s on a dead laptop 😢 otherwise I’d still use it
Omigosh-I’ve got to find the Pollack documentary!
I enjoy your post and your shirt 👕 😉
And I thought this would be a positive review since you both look so happy in the thumbnail. 😹 Is this clickbait?
We’re happy to be alive 😬
It’s really hard to appreciate your review when one of you starts off by sharing your negative and biased views toward Aretha’s music in comparison to other artists he prefers.
I think the Coal Miner’s Daughter is a great movie, and I don’t like Loretta Lynn’s music 🤷🏾♂️
@@fishjellyfilmreviews same
I loved this movie but I can see what you guys mean with some points, but wow… JHud!!! She was INCREDIBLE!!
Pregnant again!! I wanted to know how. Twice??? How did her father let this happen. Maybe once but twice??? I wanted to know more…..why did the daddy accept it. Did the dad off the man? the dad was a preacher with a gun. I am confused the singing was GOOD!!! She made me cry.
Some believe her father impregnated her at 12 and 14 because he was accused of sexually using a 12 year old in his former church community.
@@dollcrazy300 mane!! That crossed my main hundred times. I knew it. He was very protective ( so he seemed). Crazy!!!
@@dollcrazy300 That has to be the most logical answer.
The lack of resolution to that specific thread of narrative frustrated me.
I too wondered if her father was abusing her.
@@raeannaroylance5401- It’s something we will never really know; and I suspect Aretha wanted it that way.
Did no body see the Muscle Shoals documentary?
And Congrats on the 10,000!! I'm not jealous at all 0_0
Not true, Aretha did write some of her hit songs, "(Sweet, Sweet, Baby) Since You Been Gone," and "Think," by Aretha and Ted White, and "Call Me," "Spirit in the Dark," "Daydreaming," "All the Kings Horses," and "Rock Steady" were written solely by Aretha, and those were huge original hits....
I stand corrected.
It just sounds like they sucked the soul out of The Queen of Soul. Ugh.
10.000 films in 13 years?? Respect Nick. But do you have time for anything else? There only 24 Hours in a Day… I have Watch 5.802 movies to today….
Jealous of the spreadsheet!😂
There's so much dirt on Aretha, her father and his shenanigans. Crazy stuff. Knowing all that it's not surprising she was pregnant so young. I think Aretha was smoking and drinking at those parties that young. The family scrubbed all that out.
I enjoyed your review. REALITY CHECK: Aretha never married Ken Cunningham, but the relationship produced a child. Wish I can find a review that compare this film to the mini series GENIUS: ARETHA which was also excellent. Maybe after the Oscars and Grammys, you’ll decide to do a comparison of the two.
Will you be reviewing CODA? Please. One of the best films I've seen all year!
Yeah, not watching this. I went to middle school followed by high school with a girl that was pregnant at 11 and by the time we graduated she was up to 4 children. Everytime you saw that blue windbreaker, you knew she was pregnant. Why the teachers did nothing I will never understand and resent them for that. And to think, I thought she was just overweight until we got in high school.
Can you guys review Lorelei? That movie pissed me off, and so want to see your take on it.
Was it her father who was the father?
will you be able to see an early release of the film "My Policeman" with David Dawson and Harry Styles ......if so please put it in your rotation for a review when it nears release date ..I love the book
Watch the Genius TV version, they took time to explain everything all of her childhood . It’s way better than the movie
So the name of the movie is Respect but it doesn't have the song itself? Shame.
I may have misspoken. We do see Aretha arrange and perform the song Respect.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews Ah! We'll that's good.
Bruh yall need to get letterboxd
🤔 I love Bio pics but not this one. I remember seeing in the theater & it was forgettable. Sorry!
Cool video I have not seen the movie yet but I will eventually look into it it sounds to me like they just portrayed her as The stereotype 1950s 60s black women and of course knowing me I dislike racial stereotypes but I felt like they could have did a better job imagine if they made a movie about Prince who would they get to play him and how would they portray him in a movie
Arethas realistic music was left out. This was a boring. Aretha was ore than that movie
Thank you bye
The real James Cleveland had a lisp.
Jennifer Hudson’s acting is super crunchy it breaks your teeth. I was so upset she won the Oscar for Dreamgirls. She really just needs to be a supporting cast.
Facts.
😎💌✌🏾💯💯🤷🏿♂️👋🏾
im 43 ive seen 21k movies no kidding, but my aunt owned a video rental store in 80s 90s and early 2000s it closed in 2003 i saw every movie in the store. Ive been going to movie screenings in Seattle area for 20 years before covid i saw 5 per week that way as well as every movie on netflix and hulu etc. I currently have amc alist and see 3 a week that way also. I seen over 5000 asian movies and anime series i own over 10k dvds and have seen them all. I actually used to own 2 dvd video games rental stores. but closed in 2009. Movies are my life i saw 3 today already. There is a list of the 20k top movies online ive seen most of them.
That’s impressive.
@@fishjellyfilmreviews There used to be a post in the imdb forums about me I had a list of 18k plus movies id seen there, I really miss the IMDB forums I spent a hour or so per day on them. Nowadays i try to get 20k steps per day I used to weigh over 340 now im down to 245 I have 3 treadmills and 2 elipticals im my house in front of tvs so I watch stuff while exercising some of the time.
@@jamesirwingofobogmailjames2673 that’s pretty cool. Wish I lived near the Seattle area so we could talk movies. I also go to 3-5 movies per week and have for the last 5 years. I can’t get enough
It is SO cool that you had access to all those rentals early on! That must have been amazing
I just saw this movie at my local Cinema, its basically opening night, even though it did have a showing yesterday. The theater was empty there was only 4 of us. I did not hate it it was interesting and it had the actual music which is nice. I can say I liked it, I would not say the performances where nomination deserving but they were good. I enjoyed it and if they had a part 2 i would want to see it. I'm more interested in her later life When she had her weight struggles and living as a living legend diva with financial problems. Part 2 would be a more interesting movie.
If you haven't already, check out the Nat Geo Aretha Franklin series starring Cynthia Erivo. It's not perfect but it goes way more in depth.
No , no one cares about that trash series with that bald headed brit
No it don't ... this goes way deeper
@@kemariemaragh-campbell6721 Thank you
