Transcripts

so my last video I got a couple

complaints the video sounded too quiet

we'll turn it up a couple notches it's

not enough let me know next time I'll

turn it up more but now inside out to

fingers crossed for this

[Music]

one so Inside Out 2 is the sequel 2 you

guessed it inside out has it been 10

years already

nine not quite 10 still enough to make

me feel a little older it's funny you

got to break down the plot for Two

Worlds Riley's now 13 which means yes

puberty that countdown on every parents

mind in which they will wake up that

morning like so it begins also she's

trying out to be in this hockey team in

which there's a whole new group of

friends she wants to be cool with but

she has her old friends internally in

Riley's head well now we have some new

emotions to deal with the trailers are

very vague but there is one trailer that

does show that the new emotions

essentially kind of take over so it's up

to Joy and the old emotions to take back

command now Bill hater and Mindy Kaling

who voiced fear and disgust they don't

return in this movie but everyone else

does every that I can think of anyway

you don't notice it though past the

capacity of me going that's not Bill

hater's voice but never took me out of

it I wasn't like oh in that case bye

movie there's enough going on here and

that's what I really liked about this

teenager goes to a new school her

wanting to get in with the new cool kids

leads to tension among her and her

friends there is man if I could list out

a cliche that's it but it feels so new

here because you're seeing

how it works inside her head per the

command structure that these movies have

come up with and the mechanics therein

they have a lot of fun with that like

when she hits puberty that morning all

of her emotions are at 11 all the

emotions at the console are like the

console's broken I don't know why it's

not working right I was just dying

there's so much for them to have fun

with in here in terms of just how people

operate it's what I liked about the

previous movie and I felt they really

captured the magic of that in this

sequel in short did not feel like

sequelitis to me I thought it would be

man one thing I've lost faith as inside

out one I thought was a great movie I

went into Inside Out 2 with that mindset

of okay don't have any expectations you

can't be disappointed I don't usually

sit in the movie theater before a movie

like a Vulcan but there I was even from

the trailer I was like but is anxiety a

new emotion it sounds like it's just a

derivative of fear it's like fear of the

future anxiety so essentially she's just

fear but the way they use anxiety

throughout the film and the lesson

therein got to say it impressed me it

sounds vague absolutely I'm just trying

to not spoil the movie for you cuz there

was surprises in here I was like oh I

didn't expect these I didn't expect it

to all go down like this there were some

cases with the new emotions Envy in

particular Envy didn't do much of

anything at all it felt like they were

like look without Envy The Crew would

feel too light we need someone else Envy

it is there were a couple other moments

where I felt like the emotions broke

character this is a me thing I totally

get it but when anger is actually being

the nice guy and joy is crying doesn't

Joy become sadness and anger

become nice anger anger isn't innately

bad I totally get it but their emotional

states inside someone's head I feel like

what they do should come from that place

I say all that because initially when I

was like that doesn't make a lot of

sense the emotional moments they were

going for in those instances well they

hit me I and that trumps all if you can

pull it off fantastic I guess that's the

point of me bringing it up what inside

out who is is what I tend to look for

when I'm looking for a family film it's

a movie that's not just for kids it's

for kids at a point like if you're just

looking at the Baseline structure of the

plot the plot as is going on inside

Riley's mind it's essentially the old

crew trying to get their command back

after they've been usurped you have

yourself an adventure in that case kids

are going to have a blast with it and it

sounds like it'll be redundant it's like

yeah we've gone through her mind before

but we haven't gone through her mind as

she's been in this mental state her

mental world is different different

friends and again they play that up they

have fun with it but again getting back

to the point if that same kid we're

talking like an 8-year-old watches

inside out too for the fun adventure

element if that same 8-year-old watches

inside out too at age 16 or so they're

going to see a completely different film

they're going to relate to it in a

completely different way so on so forth

they see inside out too when they're 30

or 40 going to be some jokes in there

they will Now understand more they had

jokes in here that cracked me up and I'm

all the old man energy you know that and

in the end yeah if you couldn't tell

from the thumb nail before you even

clicked as I try not to hide it I like

to let you know what you're in for

before you even click I thought inside

out too was great it's a fun adventure

as well as a very relatable personal

human story see this is really a film

about moving on that can have turmoil it

can even be painful but doing that

without losing the essence of who you

are that's the goal that's what we're

dealing with here and what I love about

that is that's a story that everybody

who has ever lived can relate to it

illustrates a great point about some of

the more I guess I'll say annoying

emotional traits anyhow it's getting the

man tiers by the end that ain't nothing

I think inside out to is worth watching

and worth buying on Blu-ray all right so

inside out to have you seen it what did

you think about it are you looking

forward to it what's a sequel that

really surprised you one that you had no

faith in but you walked out surprised

whatever it is whatever you think
