Mathew WolfePANELIST
And you know what now? What do we do? theaters have to keep the momentum going how are we going to do that and i think one of the lessons learned from this past summer at the box office and what it made it very similar to the summer of twenty thirteen is that had movies something for everybody you had a superhero movie in spider-man you had a great horror film like obsession and back rooms you had animation toy story five biopics like michael adventure in movies like the odyssey and if you look at what came out in twenty thirteen You had a superhero movie, Iron Man 3.
Mathew WolfePANELIST
You had animation, Despicable Me 2, Monsters University, Adventure, Star Trek Into Darkness, Horror, World War Z.
Mathew WolfePANELIST
Now, I'm not saying going forward they have to repeat this pattern, but at the same time, look at the broad swath of properties that came out this summer.
Mathew WolfePANELIST
It was mass appeal on so many different levels, McGraw.
Tazer BlackHOST
So for me, them two, Toy Story, Incredibles, so forth.
Tazer BlackHOST
Cars, Finding Dory, Finding Nemo, Monsters University, Brave, Up, Ratatouille, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Bugs Life.
Marvin AbbeyHOST
I think it might be Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc.
Marvin AbbeyHOST
So it might be them four.
DirkHOST
Anyway, The Life of Chuck, which, yeah, second movie in our World Mix.
DirkHOST
We talked about, um, Monsters University already-
MarcieHOST
Mm-hmm
DirkHOST
... which was Marcie's pick.
MarcieHOST
Yeah.
DirkHOST
Part of the reason, part of the w- idea behind World Mix can be world building, which, I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, Marcie, that was a big part of Monsters University I think, was in expanding the world.
MarcieHOST
Mm-hmm.
MarcieHOST
Oh, yeah.
Adam SarhanHOST
Spider-Man 3 from Sony was a big success.
Adam SarhanHOST
Illumination had Despicable Me 2, Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, Monsters University, Fast and Furious 6 from Universal, so on and so forth.
Adam SarhanHOST
So this was back – The previous summer record, sorry, was in 2013 when all of those movies came out.
Adam SarhanHOST
So back in 2013, Disney had Iron Man 3, Illumination had Despicable Me 2, Warner Brothers had Man of Steel, and Pixar had Monster University, and Universal had Fast and Furious 6.
Mat BrunetGUEST
And, I mean, there are a few that...
Mat BrunetGUEST
Like, I'm not very fond of, like, I'm not a fan of Monsters University either.
Mat BrunetGUEST
Really? See,
Rachel WagnerHOST
I think that one's actually underrated.
Felipe ShimonHOST
I'm trying to think.
Felipe ShimonHOST
Monsters University, Toy Story 4 and 5.
Felipe ShimonHOST
I mean, Toy Story 3 or 2.
Felipe ShimonHOST
I mean, we've talked about those, but you're talking about the ones after this one, right?
1 HR 34 MINS LATER
Felipe ShimonHOST
you're not looking forward to? Is it Lightyear? What is it? I was going to look at it.
Felipe ShimonHOST
Because we got Brave Next.
Felipe ShimonHOST
We got Monsters University after.
Felipe ShimonHOST
We got, I think, Inside Out after that, if I'm not mistaken.
PatrickHOST
Notre Dame de Paris meets Animal House.
LeslieHOST
Notre Dame de Paris meets Monsters University or Sidney White or Revenge of the Nerds or insert any college movie here.
PatrickHOST
Speaking of college movies, this movie, well, it was supposed to come out in 1989, and there was a whole genre of college-themed comedies in the late 70s and early 80s that this movie draws from to an extent, but thankfully it does not draw the elements of those movies that have aged like Milk and the Hot Sun.
PatrickHOST
Try going back to a movie like Porky's, or Joysticks, or Meatballs, or Revenge of the Nerds sometime.
10 MINS LATER
PatrickHOST
I think we needed a few more scenes of her in the middle of the movie, like sneering and snarling and being like, meh, you guys are never gonna civilize Bob Maluga Luga Luga Luga Luga.
PatrickHOST
I mean, in college movie terms, she should be playing the role of the evil Dean who goes around trying to ruin the fun of the protagonists.
LeslieHOST
like Dean Warner in Animal House or Dean Hardscrabble in Monsters University.
LeslieHOST
That's interesting because there is a Dean in this movie who appears very early on in the movie and tells Alex, oh, if you don't get your grades up, you're gonna be kicked out of this school.
Heath AndersonHOST
Yeah.
Heath AndersonHOST
And then Monsters University is like an origin story for Mike Wazowski, really.
Heath AndersonHOST
Both of them, but I would say more Wazowski.
Heath AndersonHOST
Yeah.
Heath AndersonHOST
Drew, now...
Heath AndersonHOST
I thought I heard a little birdie told me, and that little birdie was you.
Heath AndersonHOST
Why am I acting like somebody else told me this? Now, did you say that you like Monsters University better than Monsters, Inc.?
Drew WatzkeHOST
Well, let me tell you.
Graham FurtickGUEST
Go silly one here.
Graham FurtickGUEST
Monsters University.
Graham FurtickGUEST
Oh, bro.
JT SmithHOST
That's, like, the fifth time it's come up with us in, like,
Elijah FurtickHOST
That's the only reason
Graham FurtickGUEST
why I went.
Graham FurtickGUEST
It's because of Monsters University.
Graham FurtickGUEST
You get to college, it's nothing like Monsters University.
BrianHOST
I'm surprised they haven't done, I think that's the one IP that Disney has that they've let me down.
BrianHOST
And I don't want them to do, don't get me wrong, like a new Monsters, Inc. every year or anything like that, but to just have the one like Monsters Inc and then Monsters University and that's
JordanHOST
it.
JordanHOST
No, it's good.
BrianHOST
But it's just like just two because I mean Monsters Inc came out like 97, 98.
BrianHOST
Maybe they'll
JordanHOST
do another one and hopefully it'll be just as good as Monsters University.
JordanHOST
That's one of my favorite Disney movies is Monsters University.
