Speaker:
The 2022 animated film Entergalactic,
2
:
starring Kid Cudi
3
:
I enjoyed this quite a bit.
4
:
The animation was really good.
5
:
Kind of gave me that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse vibes.
6
:
Like the same style of animation.
7
:
Great story, very relatable.
8
:
I have one gripe with this film.
9
:
And this is a spoiler alert, but in the
great climax at the end of the film,
10
:
Meadow runs from her great new gallery
show debut
11
:
to reconcile with Jabari. The stakes is
high for her.
12
:
Like this is a big deal, this exhibit,
13
:
this gallery. And Jabari doesn't really
have to sacrifice anything for this.
14
:
Like yes, he takes a leap and he makes
this grand gesture, but
15
:
maybe if she was The One and
he didn't pursue her really,
16
:
then you you lose out on that.
17
:
She could have gotten away.
18
:
See you next lifetime, like Erykah Badu would say.
19
:
But it's romantic on the surface, but there's an imbalance.
20
:
She has leave her own exhibit just to meet up with him,
21
:
Right.
Even though it looks romantic. It's kind of common that these things happen and we just kinda go with it.
22
:
The imbalance, the dynamic between
23
:
men and women.
24
:
It's a touch patriarchal and we
just sort of not think about
25
:
it anymore 'cause it just happens
everywhere.
26
:
And so I was like, mm
27
:
Enh. Even though they're together and like that
was kind of the point.
28
:
It’s funny you say that.
29
:
Yeah, my son Ice Berg, we he was watching
it with me as well.
30
:
He said the very same thing. He's like,
I can't believe she
31
:
would leave her own show.
32
:
Like she's built up to this,
33
:
she's really just leaving her
34
:
art show like that?
35
:
Right. Didn't add up for him either.
36
:
So that's a good point. So I know Kid Cudi
37
:
is the main character of this film
38
:
with all the main character energy.
39
:
And so this has to come on his terms.
40
:
But we see it so much. It's like we see it
so much we don't see it anymore.
41
:
And so I was like, mmm.
42
:
And what's up with the Temple
University keychain?
43
:
Like I was like, whoa, what's what's that?
I saw that.
44
:
Like cool.
45
:
Go Owls.
46
:
It’s kind of random.
47
:
It didn't come up afterwards. And I looked
into it.
48
:
I couldn't find anything really,
49
:
but anyone listening or watching,
50
:
tell us what's up with this.
51
:
Maybe, somebody involved with the
film went to Temple or has ties,
52
:
Maybe. You know the internet,
53
:
the bots say that it's
probably just a way to make
54
:
her look authentic. A New York
photographer,
55
:
maybe roots in Philly went to Temple
probably
56
:
And just had to make them look real and
I'm fine.
57
:
But it was very stark!
58
:
I know that T anywhere.
59
:
That white T on the red. The cherry and
the white T on the red. Uh-huh.
60
:
The cherry and the white.
61
:
I know it very well.
62
:
But it's like, huh. What's up with that?
63
:
Yeah, I picked up on that too.
64
:
I'm like 'cause I'm like a Philly guy.
65
:
I'm like, Temple, is this Philly?
66
:
I'm like, no, it's New York City.
67
:
But yeah, there's gotta be some some story behind it.
68
:
Somebody's like, We can't let New York get
all the energy,
69
:
let's throw that in there.
70
:
So anyway,
71
:
did love the movie though.
72
:
Alright, you guys want to go around and
and rate the film here like we usually do?
73
:
So Boogie for Entergalactic,
74
:
would you bring that funky flick back or
leave it in the vault?
75
:
Without a doubt, bring that funky flick back.
76
:
All right, Dyno Wright, for
Entergalactic,
77
:
bring that funky flick back or leave it in
the vault.
78
:
I am bringing funky flick back.
79
:
It's unanimous. I will definitely bring
this funky flick back as well.
80
:
Yeah, this this this is gonna be like my
new background like when
81
:
when I'm not doing anything, I just want something in the background,
82
:
this is gonna be my go to right here.
83
:
Just gonna put it on and just do whatever
I gotta do and just let it vibe
84
:
in the background. Yeah.
I love the the animation, the art style,
85
:
the art marker look, so well done.
86
:
Yeah.
shout out to D Neg ~ on the on the animation design.
I mean, I just love that hip hop
87
:
is spreading its tentacles to everywhere
like over the years,
88
:
you know. We already talked about, we saw the film by Chance the Rapper and,
89
:
Childish Gambino like these are
like EGOT folks,
90
:
these guys are just so magnificent
91
:
and talented in so many forms of art.
92
:
So it it's amazing. I I really have a
great,
93
:
even more of a greater appreciation for
Kid Cudi and for
94
:
For this project.
