I have a question about WWII - I've only heard about Nazi Germany and Japanese Empire and all the horrible stuff they did... but what about Italy? What did Italy do?
Italy was on Germany & Japan's side-- Italy became fascist under the actual Fascist Party dictatorship of Mussolini 9 years before Hitler even came to power. They "weren't as bad" as them, ie were resistant to the Nazi's Holocaust plans but still were pretty evil. That's the super-Reader's digest summation. They still tried to conquer Greece, the Balkans and North Africa and participated in bombing Britain.
This has quickly become my new favorite podcast with a visual component!! The time limit is a real asset to them, no winding rants that lead to nowhere unlike some other podcasts! Congrats Matteo and Nick!
@@JDMimeTHEFIRST oh that's awful! Rough patch in this context would mean having an outward facing party or meltdown phase. No doubt that most young talent in Hollywood have creepy or bad experiences in their journey 😢
"Twice - Hiroshima and Nagasaki" says Nick, followed by the look of PRIDE on his face and the whole room going WHOOOA haha. I love we get so excited for Nick knowing any basic thing.
I think the people who had protective parents probably did better. Also, he’s male and didnt has the level of sexualization from a young age by creepy old men that most female stars have.
Nick really needs to give all three Books of ATLA a shot, just so we can hear both of their thoughts on the series. Also, OMG!!! Dinner with Matt Damon??? Matteo, you've got quite the life!
From someone old: Gone With the Wind was about four hours long, but there was an intermission built into the movie. That’s the only long film I’ve been able to get through in my fairly long time on this rock.
Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra is my top most rewatched series of all time...I can consistently keep going back to it and makes me feel just as good as the first time watching it! Edit: They barely talked about ATLA 😭
"I have a video game on my PlayStation that looks the same" was exactly what I said to everyone who declared Avatar as a visual breakthrough. I have always loved you, Nick. Kisses.
I think girls are far more vilified for it. The way young female stars were treated in the early 2000s is atrocious and disgusting. It was normal for the media to sexualize teen girls. (Still is, but not as bad. . Though a lot of creepy old dudes still make hyper sexual shows about kids in high school instead about women their own age which they could easily do with the same subject matter.
I wish that Intermissions would be a thing for super long movies. I don’t mind if a movie is 3hrs long but my problem is always having to go to the bathroom (even though I go before the movie) and having to find the right moment so I don’t miss anything. If we had intermissions for longer movies, that would help a lot.
i feel like that would take many people out of the movie. The whole point is to be invested into a story and a loud ass break popping up would be annoying.
Intermissions used to be a standard part of longer movies. It was a concession break for the theaters, and a bathroom break for audiences. Nolan threw a fit when some theaters planned to have an intermission during Oppenheimer.
They do it in theater all the time. You end Act I will an eventful moment and it gets the audience excited and intrigued about what happens next. Also similar to a TV show where they end an episode on a cliffhanger or something similar where you are dying to watch the next episode. A good director would know how to find the moment to end high, let the audience take a breather, then bring them back in. I just hate having to run out of the theater to pee in long movies and worrying I'm going to miss something important @@em.5941
@@kevinbarnard355 I remember reading about that. I get the director would worry about what part of the movie an outside force is deciding to "split" the movie up and messing up the scheduled rhythm of the movie. It just would be nice for a director to bring the idea back and try it out on a movie to see how it was responded to. So many directors of film have done theater and tv so they know how to play the audience in that regard.
In Italy and Europe in general the movie theaters do an intermission mid movie. Doesn’t matter how long every movie gets a 5-8 minute intermission I loved it!
The Fifth Element is probably my top movie of all time. Hugely shaped my love for that type of genre and space in general when i first saw it when i was young. Cyberpunk dystopian busy city.
❓❓❓REALLY❓❓❓ So have you ever binged watched your favorite TV series on any app??? If so how many hours did you sit down, and watch??? If it was more than 3 hours then why is this movie too long??? If you say you have never binged watch "ANY" TV show before. I don't think you are being real. You're just saying, you've never have just to prove Avatar 2 was too long. Which is total BS.
I have always said that Cameron’s Avatar is basically FernGully meets Titanic. 1- Environmental/tribal adventure meets a huge disaster epic. 2- Female lead smokes cigarettes and suddenly quits halfway through the movie. (Tobacco investors) (Aliens, Titanic, Terminator and Avatar) 3- Male lead runs excitedly through his big introduction scene. (T2, Titanic, Avatar) 4- Cross-cultural romance with sweeping “flying” scene. (Titanic, Avatar) 5- Climactic scene of total destruction. (Titanic, Aliens,T2, Avatar) 6- Three hours… The End.
I agree that American child stars and British ones are very different from afar but Daniel Radcliffe has spoken openly in recent years about alcohol issues he had through the last few HP movies and partying too much in that time. I guess it was less 'out there' than seeing tabloid photos of a pantless drunk star stumbling out of a car but he definitely qualifies in 'he had a rough patch but came out on top'. It's lovely to see him thrive these days !!
I got high out of my mind for Way of Water and every time adult child Sigourney Weaver was on the screen I felt like I was peering deeply into the uncanny valley. Truly unnerving
If a movie is longer than 2 hrs I’ll wait to see it at home. When I gotta go to the bathroom I am going to pause and hit the head. Plus I might want a snack or hot tea…. It’s uncivilized to not have at least an intermission…
Nick makes a great point about the second movie feeling off having Kate Winslet playing a water Na'vi when the first movie seemed to make a point to hire POC and native actors for most of the major Na'vi roles.
James Cameron will never be stopped. Those 2 films alone have grossed 5 BILLION. Avatar 2 and 3 were originally 1 sequel that was so long it needed to be cut into 2 films. And Avatar 3's footage runtime before they cut it down in post-production was reportedly 9 hours long. James Cameron is a madman.
I'm thinking the people that are mad are the ones sitting in a theater watching these things for that long. I saw 'tar 1, and that's about as far as my interest went. Hey, if people enjoy them, go see them. It's your time & money...and bladder strength.
@@Corbomite_Meatballs ❓❓❓REALLY❓❓❓ So have you ever binged watched your favorite TV series on any app or DVR at home??? If so how many hours did you sit down, and watch??? Just one episode 30 minutes to 45min long??? How about 2 episodes, no, no??? Humm...What about every episode your DVR has recorded so far??? Ding, ding, ding yup I think that was the right answer. Ahaha🤣🤣🤣. If it was more than 3 hours then why was the Avatar 2 movie too long??? If you say you have never binged watch "ANY" TV show before. I don't think you are being real. You're just saying, you've never have just to prove Avatar 2 was too long. Which is total BS. Ummmm...You know, you can go take a restroom 🚻 break when you have too. It's not like you are permanently ⛓️ chained to your seat the whole time, or you will possibly get electrocuted if you get up. You're not going to get in trouble for leaving your seat, and I know you didn't sign a contract stating that you will never leave your seat till the end of the movie. Even watching a regular movie time movie I still have to sometimes get up to use the restroom 🚻. But I'm not going to destroy my bladder over a movie. That would be absolutely stupid to do. And really, it's not like it's never going to be on Blu-ray soon enough. So no matter what you "can" still watch the 3 minutes you didn't see at the theater at home.
Love these episodes. I could watch y’all for 31/2 hours! Seriously would love some full lengths podcasts or a show about anything. I have watched the Olive Garden episode 10 times! 😂
I love when Matteo brings up ATLA, he should make Nick watch it so we can have a podcast ep on it! Also, I haven't seen Oppenheimer but aren't there sex scenes it in? Why would that ever need to be included in that film lmao
It was there to make the point of who he was as a person (our getting nukes first depended on a lot of people with A LOT of flaws), and to distract you from going deaf from the 120dB audio track that Nolan insists on in his movies. And, if that's the thing that upsets you, as opposed to what nukes are being used for? Ok then.
James Cameron did something to me that I don’t think anyone else has pulled off. The first Terminator movie was such an amazing B-movie that managed to push through into the mainstream and became successful. Tight pace, gripping storytelling, and full of iconic moments. The second one even surpassed the original and pushed even further what a summer blockbuster can be. He peaked with Titanic.
It's something that people have been pointing out for a while...once you cross $ amount in budgets for a movie/TV show, the creativity & storytelling seems to diminish inversely - the more a movie costs, the quality of the story drops/sfx are expected to carry the story, etc. Not necessarily true for every movie/tv show, but your comparison of his movies is a fair example.
Oh my god... I knew they should talk about Avatar like both Avatars, this is the direction their podcast is going to And I was like, Nooo they won't talk about it... but its here!😭
Movie length threshold depends entirely on whether the film holds your attention. I actually sat through "Dances with Wolves". That was great. Then I saw "Water 🌊 World" & that should have been an hour and a half!
I actually like the 15 min thing. Is so perfect for people like me with no atention span. I usually don't do podcasts because 10 min in and I'm already lost and/or over it, so this is very digestible for me
There was absolutely a LOT that could have been cut from _Oppenheimer._ There is a whole section that deals with some other guy entirely that doesn't involve Oppenheimer himself directly, which totally didn't need to be in that movie.
I don't want to see barbie. But I'd rather sit through six showings rather than one Oppenheimer... I still can't believe they made a movie about one of the dudes we've already made like thirty fucking movies about... I'll never watch it. I'm a WW2 or any war buff and into history in general. Watching a movie about Oppenheimer... I'd learn zero and just fall asleep. Like Churchill... Sorry Gary. Making stuff up doesn't help "history biopics"... I've never seen one "history" movie that didn't do a disservice to actual education. Especially Americans... Dramatic addition doesn't belong in history...seeing their excuses and claims of "knowing" the characters well getting most of it wrong... Stomach churning for us history buffs...
I FULLY back you on the Ferngully thing, been saying it for years. Hoping the new ATLA film will be considerably better than the last! Loving this podcast, keep it up guys! :)
Ok I’m gonna defend Avatar here cause I actually love it 😂 At least the first one. Sure, the story isn’t super unique but it’s a classic. The actors are great, the visuals and music are amazing. Now the second one is admittedly kinda boring. But the cinema experience was still amazing because the world is just beautiful, especially with the new 3D technique. And please Nick show me your computer game that has literal 3D dust in the water in it 😅 That popular meme is so true they should just let James Cameron make that fantasy documentary of his dreams and not force him to write plots anymore lol.
I would watch you two on a weekly 30 min show if you did X--pick a new city/country/location, try a thing you've never done before, meet a person you've always wanted to meet, etc. This would make my whole life!
BTW, 100% agree that James Cameron must be stopped! Any director who can't do a full/tantalizing (give us something to wet our whistles and let us do more investigating on our own) exploration of the subject/script in less than 2.5 hours, do a mini-series.
Every time I watch an episode I love it but I'm distracted the whole time by Matteo's gorgeous bracelet and I'm so curious about it and the charms etc. I guess I'll have to wait for the episode about jewellery.
Thank you Matteo! Avatar IS just a Ferngully repackage. I have been saying this. I agree with Nick, 3 hours is too damn long. It makes me miss the days when movies like Titanic had an "intermission" and came on 2 VHS tapes.
Melissa actually couldn't really club. Because she was on contract with Archie Comics. So yes she was sneaky but when they got a whiff of her at parties she'd get docked pay. It was a whole big thing because Archie at the time wanted to be family orientated. I would be pissed if I was melissa when Riverdale came out. Since those actors actually could have a life.
I love avatar the last airbender! I hope the Netflix series is good because that live action movie they did was just hard to watch. I tried watching the avatar movie as a kid and lost interest and I never watched it again. I guess I’ll try to rewatch it, but he loves making long movies.
My father was one of those people that was actually depressed because Pandora wasn't a real place. I only watched it so he'd shut up about it. 😊❤Kate Winslet was phenomenal in Titanic.
The first Avatar is Disney's Pocahontas with blue aliens, prove me wrong. Also, Zoe Saldana is a goddess and wasn't recognizing in this episode, and i am upset lol 8:21 let us not also forget China Ann McClain. Homegirl had her own show on Disney after several cameos, starred in (imo) one of the BEST Disney Channel movie trilogies every created and has an amazing tiktok following today. She's a bit of a Bible thumper, but she not like an asshole about it. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk
I truly only went to see Avatar (1) to see what All the hype was about over the new 3D effects, and BTW they were amazing. Haven't seen the 🌊 water one yet but am hoping it's not a huge disappointment.
It is Ferngully! Thank you!!!!! Omg I thought I was the only who compared the 2! Ahh haha it's the same story like others hello pocahontas etc... take over others lands... tale as old as time 😅
In defense of Oppenheimer, my family planned to watch it and give ourselves an intermission halfway through because we didn't think we could handle 3hr20min, but it was so enthralling that we forgot and watched the whole thing in one sitting. The material was enough for two movies, but it had a very Nolan style (i.e. bizarre and disjointed) timeline, so it would be very hard to separate it out into a film and sequel or cut a lot of it. Maybe plan to watch it in two parts over two days? I am a person who can binge watch shows for hours, so long films aren't a problem for me, but even my family that can't do that still watched the whole film at once.

I've never seen one "history" movie that didn't do a disservice to actual education. Especially Americans... Dramatic addition doesn't belong in history...seeing their excuses and claims of "knowing" the characters well getting most of it wrong... Stomach churning for us history buffs...
"James, JIMMY"
The fact that u said Avatar was Fern Gully, with a buget,
Made me stop what i was doing and laugh super hard
Fern Gully was one of my favorite movies as a kid!!! 🧚🏼♀️
I FULLY back you on the Ferngully thing, been saying it for years. Hoping the new ATLA film will be considerably better than the last! Loving this podcast, keep it up guys! :)
Good convo. I love the decor especially the bronze balloon animal dog, super cute.
Ok I’m gonna defend Avatar here cause I actually love it 😂 At least the first one. Sure, the story isn’t super unique but it’s a classic. The actors are great, the visuals and music are amazing. Now the second one is admittedly kinda boring. But the cinema experience was still amazing because the world is just beautiful, especially with the new 3D technique. And please Nick show me your computer game that has literal 3D dust in the water in it 😅 That popular meme is so true they should just let James Cameron make that fantasy documentary of his dreams and not force him to write plots anymore lol.
I like how Nick's opening words were "I don't know what that is" no hello, hi, good to be here, etc.
Now I really want you to watch the 2 SNL Avatar skits and talk about them 😂
2.5hrs is my limit and not every movie needs to be that long. Y'all remember when movies used to be 1hr 45min? The good 'ol days
please, we your people want longer videos!! very grateful for what we get though! 😁
Matteo and Nick have the same facial hair pattern. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. 😂
PLEASE do a longer podcast! 15 minutes is not nearly enough time of you and Nick
I would watch you two on a weekly 30 min show if you did X--pick a new city/country/location, try a thing you've never done before, meet a person you've always wanted to meet, etc. This would make my whole life!
BTW, 100% agree that James Cameron must be stopped! Any director who can't do a full/tantalizing (give us something to wet our whistles and let us do more investigating on our own) exploration of the subject/script in less than 2.5 hours, do a mini-series.
Bless this podcast. May the IV drip of petty shenanigans keep me afloat another week.
Amen ✨️
Every time I watch an episode I love it but I'm distracted the whole time by Matteo's gorgeous bracelet and I'm so curious about it and the charms etc. I guess I'll have to wait for the episode about jewellery.
Last air bender, 5th element, Ferngully 🤩 I found my people
You two are my new favorite podcast! Please never go “Hollywood”. Nick, I love your blouse ❤
If it's one of my favorite books, I'll sit there for six hours if they put in all the details exactly as in the book 😁
Nick nailed it! 🎯
Thank you Matteo! Avatar IS just a Ferngully repackage. I have been saying this. I agree with Nick, 3 hours is too damn long. It makes me miss the days when movies like Titanic had an "intermission" and came on 2 VHS tapes.
Melissa actually couldn't really club. Because she was on contract with Archie Comics. So yes she was sneaky but when they got a whiff of her at parties she'd get docked pay. It was a whole big thing because Archie at the time wanted to be family orientated. I would be pissed if I was melissa when Riverdale came out. Since those actors actually could have a life.
“If I sit in a theater for 3 hours and 20 minutes.. they better drop a bomb on ME”
Matteo: I hate you 😶😒
💀🤣🤣 ❤❤❤ love your banter!!!
"In Cahoots" 😆
I love avatar the last airbender! I hope the Netflix series is good because that live action movie they did was just hard to watch. I tried watching the avatar movie as a kid and lost interest and I never watched it again. I guess I’ll try to rewatch it, but he loves making long movies.
Love this format and length of podcast.
Avatar has always been Dances With Smurfs to me.
Fern Gully 😂😂😂 I had heard someone say its the plot from Dances with Wolves
Take a shot every time Matteo tilts his head to the side
"middle school theater energy, taking themselves way too seriously" sincerity
My father was one of those people that was actually depressed because Pandora wasn't a real place. I only watched it so he'd shut up about it. 😊❤Kate Winslet was phenomenal in Titanic.
The first Avatar is Disney's Pocahontas with blue aliens, prove me wrong.
Also, Zoe Saldana is a goddess and wasn't recognizing in this episode, and i am upset lol
8:21 let us not also forget China Ann McClain. Homegirl had her own show on Disney after several cameos, starred in (imo) one of the BEST Disney Channel movie trilogies every created and has an amazing tiktok following today. She's a bit of a Bible thumper, but she not like an asshole about it.
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk
I truly only went to see Avatar (1) to see what All the hype was about over the new 3D effects, and BTW they were amazing. Haven't seen the 🌊 water one yet but am hoping it's not a huge disappointment.
Its mostly the first one....with water. Once again, great effects, but the story was ehhhh
“So you hate their candy” 💀
It is Ferngully! Thank you!!!!! Omg I thought I was the only who compared the 2! Ahh haha it's the same story like others hello pocahontas etc... take over others lands... tale as old as time 😅
you two are very enjoyable together. like two platonic husbands
hope you guys make these longer soon!! like even just 30/45 minutes
Space Fern Gully, yeah it was all special effects hype
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE LAST AIR BENDER MOVIE AHHHHHHHHHH
James Cameron’s Avatar is Pocahontas in space.
In defense of Oppenheimer, my family planned to watch it and give ourselves an intermission halfway through because we didn't think we could handle 3hr20min, but it was so enthralling that we forgot and watched the whole thing in one sitting. The material was enough for two movies, but it had a very Nolan style (i.e. bizarre and disjointed) timeline, so it would be very hard to separate it out into a film and sequel or cut a lot of it. Maybe plan to watch it in two parts over two days? I am a person who can binge watch shows for hours, so long films aren't a problem for me, but even my family that can't do that still watched the whole film at once.
