Welcome to Filmmaker Commentary. I'm Reginald Titus Jr. I'm joined with...
Casey G. Smith: Casey G. Smith.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Welcome back, sir.
Casey G. Smith: Good to be back, sir.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And today we are talking about Friday Night Lights, the movie. Released October 8th, directed and co-written by Peter Berg, based on the book by Buzz Bissinger, distributed by Universal. Uh, what year did this come out?
Casey G. Smith: 2004.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Um, it won an award, 2005, it won an ESPY Award for Best Sports Movie. 2005, won an AFI Award for Movie of the Year. Not too bad.
Casey G. Smith: Not bad at all.
Reginald Titus Jr.: We have a budget of $30 million. We have a gross domestically of 61.2 million, a foreign of 694,000, which you give us about a worldwide of 61,950,000. Pretty good in America.
Casey G. Smith: Pretty good.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Foreign, there's like, uh, what? That's the wrong kind of football.
Casey G. Smith: Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Tougher sell.
Reginald Titus Jr.: A definitely a tougher sell.
Casey G. Smith: Try soccer next time.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Before we dive deeper into Friday Night Lights, let's talk about news and movies watched.
Casey G. Smith: Uh, a couple of things in the news. So, It Chapter Two, which I'll talk about a little bit later on, um, from my viewing experience, uh, has shot out to a $185 million dollar global debut.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Wow. Yeah, is that performing the first one?
Casey G. Smith: No, not, not, not, uh, domestically, it wasn't. So I don't think it is worldwide either. Still good, but not, not quite as good as the, as the, as the first one.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Got it.
Casey G. Smith: Um, also, uh, the Toronto Film Festival, which is taking place this, this, this past week/weekend. And there are some movies that are getting some, some good buzz. Dolemite is My Name, starring Eddie Murphy.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yes. Yes. Yes. Can't wait for that one to get here. Yeah.
Casey G. Smith: Also good buzz around it. Oh yeah. Uh, that'll be releasing on Netflix on October 25th. And also Ryan Johnson's Knives Out.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh.
Casey G. Smith: Star-studded cast and a kind of a who done it murder mystery kind of deal is getting some, some good buzz as well.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's good, 'cause we kind of with the trailer, I was like, I don't know, man.
Casey G. Smith: I, I, I felt, I felt good about it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: You felt good about it.
Casey G. Smith: I felt good about it. So now, now, now I'm just really, really excited. So, but that has some good buzz around it. Some early tweets coming out, uh, from an article I read on Indiewire.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Good.
Casey G. Smith: But, uh, yeah, those are a couple of things I had. You got anything, Reginald?
Reginald Titus Jr.: In the news, uh, I know we talked quickly about Dave Chappelle's, um, special Sticks and Stones, I think that was last week. Um, apparently, um, y'all look into this, um, Rotten Tomatoes, you know, when they did the tomato meter. There's only like five critics, you know, I found this out by Joe Rogan and his podcast and kind of talking about like the cancel culture and like how people are using, um, certain specials for like political gain and things like that. And he was mentioning that on the tomato meter, you know, it was only like five critics were allowed to, you know, rate it fresh or, you know, however that tomato meter actually works. Um, because of that, there's been a lot of general audience people like, you know what, I'm gonna rate it. So, as of right now, this is Sunday the 8th and, um, as of right now, you've have a total count of 13, like critics on the tomato meter and it's like 23%. Um, and then you have an audience score of 99% and that's 29,546 people that reviewed on that site. And so it's kind of showing is real glaring how, you know, corporate agendas, politically agendas can kind of influence, you know, viewer's opinions sometimes.
Casey G. Smith: What's fascinating is that the critic rating is not impacting the audience rating. Yeah. That it's just doing what it, what it does. So, I, I'd be very curious to see if, if, say if this had been like something in the theater, if that sways more, because obviously it takes far more work to, to go to the theater than it does to turn on Netflix.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Well, if you look at, if you go into, onto, on Rotten Tomatoes and look at his previous, um, specials, they were on Netflix, it's a little bit different, but everybody knew that this one was going to hit a little bit harder because of like the kind of what he talks about in it. And because of that, it was only, that's what they're saying that the critics that actually commented and put their opinion on the piece, it was only open to like these, you know, liberal sites. And so they were the ones that were able to kind of criticize it and that's why it had like at, when it first came out, it was like 0% tomato score.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I remember seeing that initially, I was like, that's, that doesn't even sound right.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's like, that's interesting.
Casey G. Smith: Again, from, from what I'd heard from, uh, one guy Jeremy Johns, who has a YouTube channel, I'd watched his review of the special and, uh, and he threw out some really good questions. He goes, he understood kind of what Dave was going for that he's talking about all this stuff. Right. And things that are offensive. Um, but also bringing things to the forefront to have conversation about and at times, you know, making us face different things, think about different things, which is what comedy can, can do. Uh, especially in this, you know, current culture, this counterculture, that, um, he said, he said that he, he certified on Rotten Tomatoes. He said he would go on and and rate it as as as fresh. Yeah. He says, people have.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. But it's going to be fascinating if he, if he'll be able to, since he's a critic, not, not a fan, he's an actual critic, if he'll be able to give it, I don't, I don't know if Rotten Tomatoes opened this thing back up.
Casey G. Smith: Uh, she's all the same now.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Like 13 people as right now. Be fascinating.
Casey G. Smith: I'm, I'm curious to go and see.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Hopefully he's one of the 13 'cause 23% instead of zero.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I'm curious to go back and see. But, um, yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, so that's been very interesting. Uh, but that's all I have for news.
Casey G. Smith: All right. Uh, trailers. So this week, the trailer for Bad Boys For Life with the the reunion of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence dropped. Uh, did you see it and what are your thoughts?
Reginald Titus Jr.: I did. I saw it, I for when it first dropped, I watched it. And I was like, I don't know. It looks slick and everything. They're they're playing on the same beats, you know, you know, with, uh, Will, with Mike Larry, Mike Lar. Playing on his car, the Porsche, and all that stuff. So they kind of playing that. Uh, Martin, he's hitting his beats with the comedy, you know. They're, they're he's hitting his beats. So it was like, man, they never really lost it, but the thing that after I watched it, I started going through the comment section, uh, on YouTube. And people are like, is it just me? Or I can't stop watching Martin Lawrence? 'Cause he's like fluffy, you know, he's gotten fluffier. Sure. I was like, man, they go, and like, in the comments of YouTube, it's like filled like, which I was like, man, it's kind of body shaming, you know, in a way, it's, uh, but that's Hollywood.
Casey G. Smith: That's YouTube comments.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It's YouTube comments. And then, uh, I started going through, uh, Bad Boys Two, watching that trailer. I watched the trailer of part one. And everybody on each one of those trailers is like, y'all here because of how fat Martin has gotten? I was like, man, it's crazy. Like, to me, it was just, it was like, that was like, man, it's kind of, you know. You're not trying to, you're not trying to like, you know, do that, but it's like, uh, you think about it, you know.
Casey G. Smith: I, I, I was like, okay, I knew Martin had been. I saw him at the Def Jam, whatever, whatever. I knew he had, you know, he put on some. Yeah, he may have, he may have even lost a little, a little bit of weight to where he's at now. Yeah, he's been. I guess they, they clearly people just hadn't seen him in a long time. So they were acting surprised.
Reginald Titus Jr.: He got fluffy a little bit. Outside of him just getting fluffy, um, I think it's going to be very entertaining.
Casey G. Smith: He been that weight for years though. It's, it's, it he's been at that weight for years. Because you're only going by the movies. Like if you compare like the first one, 95, like how frail and skinny he was, you know. Like that was like a lot of the jokes like how skinny he was. And then in a part two, got fluffy, but you know, he got the family and stuff. It's like, it kind of goes with the character. It's like, okay, they can with this one, it was, it was like.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Well, if you go to, well, that was, uh, part two came in with like 03. I think that's the year that one came out. And then he started kind of gaining that weight a little bit.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, but he's been at where he's at now, he has been there for a while. He may, he may have even lost a little, a little bit of weight to where he's at now.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, he's been. Yeah, being chunky.
Casey G. Smith: He has been there for a while. Yeah, clearly people just haven't seen him in a long time. So they weren't acting surprised.
Reginald Titus Jr.: It was like, it was interesting and older, probably older than those guys, but it's just interesting how people reacted. I was thinking it, but I ain't going to type it out. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I ain't going to type it out. I'll think it, but I ain't going to type it.
Casey G. Smith: Now he's got family and he's older. Like, and he's got Will Smith in an action star. Martin Lawrence is not. Martin Lawrence is not an action star. He hasn't been doing big movies or, you know, Aladdin and Gemini Man. The older guy that plays their chief, he can get big too. But it was, it was interesting and older, probably older than those guys, but it's just interesting how people reacted.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So like, yeah, so he got kind of crammed in the comments when it came to his weight. I was like, man, that's cruel. Hard critics, I have.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I saw, I'm not, I I did see a commenter or two, but I was like, yeah. Again, I I saw him at the, the, the Def Jam, uh, 25-year reunion on Netflix. I saw him there and he was like, you know, he was, you know, he was big. He had a comedy special also within the last five years that he did. And, you know, he had, you know, he's starting to, you know, a little fluffy. Yeah, put a couple of pounds on. Nothing wrong with that retirement weight.
Reginald Titus Jr.: He was like, he was like, man. Yeah, clearly people just haven't seen him in a long time. So they weren't acting surprised.
Casey G. Smith: He's like, put on a couple of pounds on. Nothing wrong with that retirement weight.
Reginald Titus Jr.: No, nothing wrong with that at all. But no, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm excited. I agree, man. It hit, it hit like, to me, just the right beats. So it feels like revisiting some old friends, like you're picking up right where you left off. You know, Martin's comedic timing, Will's timing, their chemistry, like it's, it's there. I'm like, yeah, let's do this.
Casey G. Smith: I'm like, yeah, let's do this. I'm signing up for that one.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'm signing up for that one.
Casey G. Smith: The second one is, is okay for me. The first one I really, really like. The second one is like, okay, you know, I think I, I think I've only watched it once, the second one. I might need to revisit it. But, uh, but I'm excited to have them come back. I feel like this is going to be a good sequel. I feel, I feel, I feel it's going to hit nostalgia and it's going to do enough of what it needs to do. Sometimes you get sequels and it's like, what was it about part two? Was it too much time had went by or something? 'Cause those were 95 to. I, I literally barely remember part two.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Really? I know, I know there's some stuff with like, his sister. Yeah, Gab Union. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was dating Mike Larry. Uh-huh. And, um, yeah, but the, like, the cinematography, like, was just beautiful, man. They like, Michael Bay.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, she was dating Mike Larry. Uh-huh. And, um, yeah, but the, like, the cinematography, like, was just beautiful, man. They like, Michael Bay.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Man, they're. How, how often do we get, that's what I say, I'll have to revisit it. It's beautiful. I wish he directed the third one.
Casey G. Smith: How often do we get, I'll have to revisit it. It's beautiful. I wish he directed the third one.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'll have to see the commentary for those films.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, there is for the first one. And for the first one, like, they thought it was going to tank. Like, it wouldn't going to, like, do anything. But Michael Bay did the famous, uh, hero shot with him rising up in the middle of the street and he kind of rotating right, when he did that, he's like, I knew that they were going to be like, he's like, I knew Will Smith was going to be an action star after I did that shot.
Reginald Titus Jr.: That's it. That's the, uh, you know, before the Avengers did it. Yeah, I mean, that's like, you know. Will Smith did it first. Anybody does that shot, it's a it's a reference shot. Yep. That's a Michael Bay shot. Anybody that does that, that's a reference to that movie. They had issues with the screenplay on that first one. And so it was just, it was kind of pacing things together, but, hey, it worked. You know, just blow up something.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I mean that's like, you know. Will Smith did it first. Anybody that does that shot, it's a it's a reference shot. Yep. That's a Michael Bay shot. Anybody that does that, that's a reference to that movie. They had issues with the screenplay on that first one. And so it was just, it was kind of pacing things together, but, hey, it worked. You know, just blow up something.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I mean that's sky rocketed Will Smith, man, and, you know, to, yeah, new, new stratosphere. Yes, indeed. So yeah, man, I'm excited about it though.
Casey G. Smith: Uh, movies watched?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Movies watched. I watched, um, are you familiar with the comedian Gary Owens?
Casey G. Smith: Yes, I saw a comment you put on, uh, it's Instagram?
Reginald Titus Jr.: On Twitter. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yes. Yes.
Casey G. Smith: On Twitter. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yes. Yes.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So, uh, so the special is called, um, Doing What I Do, #doingwhatido. It's on Showtime. Um, I found out about the, the special because he was on a popular, uh, channel on YouTube, uh, called The Breakfast Club, which they're based out of New York. DJs. They're really, really popping. And I was like, oh, he was on The Marketing. Gary's always funny every time he comes on there. So I was like, uh, I'm gonna check him out. He's a staple in the Black community. He's been rocking Black comedy. Even though he's a white guy, he's been rocking Black comedy since the, uh, BET, what was that, uh, comedy special from like the 90s?
Casey G. Smith: Comics View.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Comics View. Yeah. He's been rocking it since then. So. And so I found out about, I was like, all right, let's watch it. Me and my wife watched it on Saturday. And he was marketing it as, it's going to be the best special of all time. Of all time. I'm telling you. Trust me. But it was pretty good. It was, his stuff is usually pretty funny.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. I mean, he's, he's, he's, he's definitely, he's definitely on it and he, he's so fast, him having to walk, walk that line. Yeah. Um, yeah, yeah, I'll definitely check it out.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, it was, it was definitely interesting. And then, um, the reason I had, I had tweeted that out 'cause I was like, man, this is a special, uh, the best of all time. But I did the hashtag doing what I do. It's an inside joke. And then he said, I wouldn't lying. He replied, I ain't, I wouldn't lying. So. Nice. Yeah. So, yeah, that's all I watched. What about yourself, sir?
Casey G. Smith: Nice. Yeah. So, yeah, that's all I watched. What about yourself, sir?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, so I actually did check out It Chapter Two, uh, yesterday in, in theaters. And, um, I really liked the first It.
Casey G. Smith: Uh, so I actually did check out It Chapter Two, uh, yesterday in, in theaters. And, um, I really liked the first It.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Really, really, uh, one to 10, rate both.
Casey G. Smith: Okay. So, first, It, I will give a solid eight and a half. Okay. Eight and a half on the, on the first, first It. The sequel, I would give a six. Dang. So, here's the thing. Performance wise, the actors, the, um, Jessica Chastains, and the Macavoys, what's our, our man's name who plays in the show Barry, um, Bill Adler. All around great performances. Great, great, great, great performances. But it's just, there's something about the, the script, uh, and the story that just, so, so story. Yeah, it just seems, it seems to just linger a little bit. It seems to go just a little, maybe like, maybe like, yeah, 15, 20 minutes, maybe too long. And, um, yeah, just the execution wasn't quite there. Some of the jokes don't quite hit the way you would, you would want them to hit. So, yeah, I, I think, I think it comes down.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Jokes, there should be no jokes in here.
Casey G. Smith: I think it comes down to just some of that, some of that script and, um, which is, uh, same writer, same director, everything.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Was it the same writer, same director, everything?
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, yeah, yeah, same, should be the same director, yeah. And I don't, I'm not sure about the writer, writer wise, 100%, but definitely the same director. But, uh, but again, really good performances. I still recommend going and, and, and checking it out. Uh, again, it's, it's not a bad movie. It's just, man, the, the first one set such a bar. You know, so you're going, you're going with expectations and you hope that this will at least, you know, be equivalent or eclipse. But again, in our culture, we have this, you know, overreaction tendency. And I'm, I consider myself a pretty even-killed dude. Yeah. So I, I, I'll say, yes, the first one is great. But this one, the first one was creepy, man. Yeah, it was creepy. And, and this one has some creepy bits to it. Um, but I, I wouldn't call it terrifying. And the story was, was, was just, you know, yeah, okay. Um, and then I also watched, uh, I finished the, the third season of the Netflix series, Glow. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
Reginald Titus Jr.: The first one was creepy, man. Yeah. It was creepy. And, and this one has some creepy bits to it. Um, but I, I wouldn't call it terrifying. And the story was, was, was just, you know, yeah, okay. Um, and then I also watched, uh, I finished the, the third season of the Netflix series, Glow. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, the wrestling. Yeah.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, is it good?
Casey G. Smith: Oh, dude, I'm getting, I've watched all three seasons of it. I, it's, it's wonderful. It is a wonderful show.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I like the way that they marketed it. I like the poster, the key art, and like, just the look, the art direction.
Casey G. Smith: Oh yeah. The bright colors, man. But the performances, the performances are so good. You have this wonderfully eclectic cast of characters. You know, you got Mark Maron, you got Brie Larson, um,
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, Barry, shout out.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, man. I, excuse me. No, that's not right. Not, not Brie. Not Brie Larson, uh, it's, um, she is, she was in Mad Men and she's also is on the show with Community. Yeah. Allison Brie. Wonderful show. And here's the, it's one of the shows, the episodes are only 30 minutes. 30 minute episodes and it's like 10, like 10 episodes per season. That's so, it goes, it goes quick. And when you finish an episode, you're like, oh, wow, that's the, that's the episode? Yeah. But you're like, oh, it's only 30 minutes. And so it's just, it's, it's, it's a, it's a pretty easy binge. But it's, uh, it's enjoyable and it, it pushes some boundaries that you don't, you don't expect. You know, there's, there's some nudity and some cursing, which I, I didn't, I didn't initially expect. I was like, oh, I was not expecting. Well, I saw the, the women in chokers and what they were doing, like, yeah, it's going to be a little raw.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh yeah. The bright colors, man. But the performances, the performances are so good. You have this wonderfully eclectic cast of characters. You know, you got Mark Maron, you got Brie Larson, um,
Casey G. Smith: Not, not Brie. Not Brie Larson, uh, it's, um, she is, she was in Mad Men and she's also is on the show with Community. Yeah. Allison Brie. Wonderful show. And here's the, it's one of the shows, the episodes are only 30 minutes. 30 minute episodes and it's like 10, like 10 episodes per season. That's so, it goes, it goes quick. And when you finish an episode, you're like, oh, wow, that's the, that's the episode? Yeah. But you're like, oh, it's only 30 minutes. And so it's just, it's, it's, it's a, it's a pretty easy binge. But it's, uh, it's enjoyable and it, it pushes some boundaries that you don't, you don't expect. You know, there's, there's some nudity and some cursing, which I, I didn't, I didn't initially expect. I was like, oh, I was not expecting. Well, I saw the, the women in chokers and what they were doing, like, yeah, it's going to be a little raw.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Just a tad bit. Just a twinge.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I was like, okay, you know, they had some, some wrestling, but I, I mean, I wasn't anyway. But it's an enjoyable show. Good performances, enjoyable. And in season three, there's a, an episode that Alison Brie actually directs. It was one of my, it was one of my favorite episodes of the, of the season. Okay. Uh, so it doesn't matter if you're into wrestling or not. This is, the show is much bigger than that. Um, but, uh, but yeah, Glow.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay. Uh, so it doesn't matter if you're into wrestling or not. This is, the show is much bigger than that. Um, but, uh, but yeah, Glow.
Casey G. Smith: But, uh, but yeah, Glow.

Deep Dive into Friday Night Lights
Reginald Titus Jr.: Let's head back to the show.
Thank y'all for tuning in. We're talking about Friday Night Light. Huh?
Casey G. Smith.: Are you getting in character for the
Reginald Titus Jr.: I know, right. My, my Texas accent. I was like, what's Friday Night Light. Thank y'all for tuning in. Thank y'all for tuning in. Welcome back.
Casey G. Smith: I know, right. My, my Texas accent. I was like, what's Friday Night Light. Thank y'all for tuning in. Thank y'all for tuning in. Welcome back.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Let me, uh, let me get it together.
Casey G. Smith: I'm just, I'm just, I was like, I was like, what is, who are you? What's going on?
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'm just, I'm just, I was like, I was like, what is, who are you? What's going on?
Casey G. Smith: I thought you just gearing up for the, to read the synopsis.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Maybe. Here we go. And here we are. All right. Welcome back to Friday Night. I can't do it. I can't do it.
Casey G. Smith: I can't do it. I can't do it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, you do, you do you, man. You do you. Just do your thing.
Casey G. Smith: Uh, you do, you do you, man. You do you. Just do your thing.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Uh, welcome back to Filmmaker Commentary. We're talking about Friday Night Lights. Releasing what? 2004?
Casey G. Smith: Yes sir.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And it is directed and co-written by Peter Berg, based on the book by Buzz Bissinger, distributed by Universal. And let's jump into the synopsis.
Casey G. Smith: Reckon?
Reginald Titus Jr.: I reckon. I, I didn't realize like how country, like sometimes I can, depending on who I'm talking to, I can switch it up and be like more country. Where we from, you know, from Texas, whatever. Um, and it just gets worse. like how country a person is, I can kind of match that and it's,
Casey G. Smith: You get drawn into their drawl.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I was like, I'm pretty sure we sound, I sound pretty country in like just my regular conversational voice to certain people.
Casey G. Smith: It's a, it's a, it's a fascinating thing, man. Again, I'll never forget when I was, when I was at, you know, I was at Northwood and we went up to Michigan and everybody was there and all my Texas counterparts, everybody sounded so country.
Reginald Titus Jr.: When, when y'all got out of the environment of being in Texas?
Casey G. Smith: When we went up to Michigan and I, and that was my first time going back to the north since, since I was in like junior high. So, at least, yeah, it had been some time. But we get up there and I'm listening to, you know, everybody talk with their Michigan accent. Yeah, okay. Golly G. huh. Then all of a sudden I'm listening to my Texas colleagues and every like they're whether they're from East Texas or West Texas or or Dallas, like their accents just became so pronounced. And I, I literally, several times I was looking at them in bewilderment and staring at them like, who, who are you? What's going on? What's going on with me? Why can't I, why, why can't you tell the difference? You can hear it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Like so pronounced. And I, I literally, several times I was looking at them in bewilderment and staring at them like, who, who are you? What's going on? What's going on with me? Why can't I, why, why can't you tell the difference? You can hear it.
Casey G. Smith: It was so pronounced. It, it was a trip. I was like, I am, this is so weird. Yeah. And just everybody said 'cause and everybody's, obviously, well-educated and they're, and they're eloquent and they're, they're clear, but southern. Yeah. You know, from the south. Well, we really tried to work. I was like, what? Yeah. Huh? And, and really this all over here. And I was like, what? You don't sound like that normally. Do they? Do I have? Is there a filter? What is going on? Yeah, then once we came back, everybody just normalized. I was like, I'm country. This is like the bloody twilight zone.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Uh, and then, you know, times before that, you know, we had the Roman Coliseums, where people would fight for their lives for sport. Yeah. Which I kind of see that now, especially with like the, the UFC. It's kind of, it's kind of, the whole martial arts thing. I think that's a whole another thing. But, you're right. You know, we like to be entertained by violence. Whether that's good or bad, I don't, I don't, I don't think so. As long as you regulate it and you have people in there to step, to step in at certain times. Because there's always going to be violence. But I think, I think this is one of the more healthier outlets. When you have it regulated, you have rules and guidelines. 'Cause these people probably have a certain degree of of certain natural aggression and they have the ability. Now they get to channel it, you know. And for sometimes as a fan, watching it, sometimes help us, you know, definitely we're not in war anymore. I mean, it's like our last gladiators that we can kind of root for for our territory. Right. They represent our cities. Yes. And so we like, ah, we won. But, you know, you live, you know. Vicariously. More than likely you'll, you'll get to live through this war. Yeah. And so, yeah, it's like our last little gladiators. Tropes. Uh, one of the tropes I had was, was that, this is that classic trope of, is just, you know, the cocky player, which, you know, Bibby is, he is, he is that.
Casey G. Smith: Man. But see, for people would always ask me, where are you from? They would always ask me that. I'm like, how, well, I, you know, I lived up north. I'm like, oh, that's why you sound different. I was like, okay, sure. Maybe you sound different. But no, I just you kind of adjust, you know.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, I got that, um, depending on what part of Dallas I was in. Usually it was like women, where you from?
Casey G. Smith: Hm. Irving? Hm. Hm. Oh, that explains it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, that explains it.
Casey G. Smith: Bless your heart. But anyhow, it, it was, uh, yeah, it was cool to see the, the Texas, this country accents in this movie. But anyhow, let's get to it. A small, turbulent town in Texas obsesses over the high school football team to a unhealthy degree. When the star tailback, Boobie Miles, is seriously injured during the first game of the season, all hope is lost. And the town's dormant social problems begin to flare up. It is left to the inspiring abilities of the new coach, Gary Gaines, to instill in the other team members, and by proxy, the town itself, a sense of self-respect and honor. Friday Night Lights.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Friday Night Lights.
Casey G. Smith: On Fridays. On Friday. Go on to the game.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Go on to the game.
Casey G. Smith: How'd you watch this movie, man, and did you like it? Tell us about it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: How'd you watch this movie, man, and did you like it? Tell us about it.
Casey G. Smith: All right. So interestingly enough, my first introduction to Friday Night Lights was actually through the TV show. Which I was late to the, you know, pun intended, but late, late to the game too. And I started watching it, maybe like, I say like three years ago. The actual TV show. The actual TV show. Maybe, maybe longer than that, actually. I, it had to be, 'cause I think when I started watching it, was it still on TV? Was it kind of the tail end? No, it was already done. Never mind. It was already done. I caught it streaming.
Reginald Titus Jr.: The actual TV show. The actual TV show. Maybe, maybe longer than that, actually. I, it had to be, 'cause I think when I started watching it, was it still on TV? Was it kind of the tail end? No, it was already done. Never mind. It was already done. I caught it streaming.
Casey G. Smith: Was it still on TV? Was it kind of the tail end? No, it was already done. Never mind. It was already done. I caught it streaming. Uh, yeah. caught it I think on Netflix, streaming, started watching. I was like, what made you watch it, uh, the TV show? Like it was just something that was mentioned?
Reginald Titus Jr.: What made you watch it, uh, the TV show? Like it was just something that was mentioned?
Casey G. Smith: I kept hearing that it was just amazing. Yeah. I kept hearing it was like just one of the, like the best TV shows. I said, okay, you know what? I was, you know, I like to listen to different reviews and things like that. So, you know, let me check it out. Started watching the first couple episodes and I was like, yo, this is awesome. I just burned through, it's like, I think it's, I believe it's three or four seasons. Yeah. Just burned through them all. So that was my first introduction. I knew it was a movie. I remember hearing about the movie. And I also knew the movie was based on a book. That was my first introduction to it. So, this go around, this is my first time watching the movie. Wow. I never seen the movie. So, what are your initial thoughts after you've seen the TV show? So you're coming from a different spectrum. I've seen the movie, never seen the TV show. So, I, I, I like both. I think, I think this is, it's a, it's a really well done movie. Uh, it's gorgeously shot. The, the, it's, it's a good script, some, some really good performances. Yeah. Uh, some really good emotional beats that happen, that happened throughout. And it's cool going back and seeing this and then seeing the TV show and seeing what they drew from it and then what they, what they changed.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. Just burned through them all. So that was my first introduction. I knew it was a movie. I remember hearing about the movie. And I also knew the movie was based on a book. That was my first introduction to it. So, this go around, this is my first time watching the movie. Wow. I never seen the movie. So, what are your initial thoughts after you've seen the TV show? So you're coming from a different spectrum. I've seen the movie, never seen the TV show. So, I, I, I like both. I think, I think this is, it's a, it's a really well done movie. Uh, it's gorgeously shot. The, the, it's, it's a good script, some, some really good performances. Yeah. Uh, some really good emotional beats that happen, that happened throughout. And it's cool going back and seeing this and then seeing the TV show and seeing what they drew from it and then what they, what they changed.
Casey G. Smith: And it's cool going back and seeing this and then seeing the TV show and seeing what they drew from it and then what they, what they changed.
Reginald Titus Jr.: What they took from the movie. Inspire like, like it's like the, the TV show is inspired.
Casey G. Smith: Uh-huh. What they took from the movie.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So, I was like, the TV show is inspired by the movie, versus say being inspired by the book.
Casey G. Smith: So, I was like, the TV show is inspired by the movie, versus say being inspired by the book.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I haven't read the book.
Casey G. Smith: Neither have I.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Okay.
Casey G. Smith: I haven't read the book either. But it's like, it's like it takes things from the TV show and actually introduces different characters, but who are unchanges their names, but they're all along from like almost like the same beats. And maybe even.
Reginald Titus Jr.: But it's like, it's like it takes things from the TV show and actually introduces different characters, but who are unchanges their names, but they're all along from like almost like the same beats. And maybe even. Yeah, it's like, oh this, this is, oh you get that moment. Yeah, I was like, where am I? Oh, I hate that. There it is. It happened before. It's like, that's creepy. Yeah, I think I, I think I had it earlier this week. I had a moment, I was like, uh, like the timelines overlapping.
Casey G. Smith: Oh, you get that moment. Yeah, I was like, where am I? Oh, I hate that. There it is. It happened before. It's like, that's creepy. Yeah, I think I, I think I had it earlier this week. I had a moment, I was like, uh, like the timelines overlapping.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, but that was like super weird.
Casey G. Smith: Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, but that was like super weird.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Man, you know, but you just know when it, you know, when it's there. Yeah. But no, it's, the, the TV show takes some very interesting things from, it's inspired by the movie. Uh, but I think even the, the, the location, all that kind of stuff is, is different. It might be even a fictional. They might, it might be an actual fictional city in the, in the TV show. So it's like, it's kind of taking the themes. There we go. It's taking like the themes of the movie and then transplanting it into a fictional town, a fictional team, even, even the coach, all that kind of stuff.
Casey G. Smith: Man, you know, but you just know when it, you know, when it's there. Yeah. But no, it's, the, the TV show takes some very interesting things from, it's inspired by the movie. Uh, but I think even the, the, the location, all that kind of stuff is, is different. It might be even a fictional. They might, it might be an actual fictional city in the, in the TV show. So it's like, it's kind of taking the themes. There we go. It's taking like the themes of the movie and then transplanting it into a fictional town, a fictional team, even, even the coach, all that kind of stuff.
Reginald Titus Jr.: So it's like, it's kind of taking the themes. There we go. It's taking like the themes of the movie and then transplanting it into a fictional town, a fictional team, even, even the coach, all that kind of stuff.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. But that'll be some trivia I'll share with you later.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Sports then because like the actual it's pretty tragic about some of these people, whereas I could probably appreciate that more being based on themes. You can do more with it if, if you're basing on themes in my opinion.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. But that'll be some trivia I'll share with you later.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. But that'll be some trivia I'll share with you later.
Casey G. Smith: But there's some, but there's direct beats out of this movie. Yeah. That I'm like, oh man, they, I, I can see where they did that in the show. That in the show. Like these things like happened and and and more.
Reginald Titus Jr.: But there's some, but there's direct beats out of this movie. Yeah. That I'm like, oh man, they, I, I can see where they did that in the show. That in the show. Like these things like happened and and and more.
Casey G. Smith: Oh, I'm telling you, the show is, some good.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, I'm telling you, the show is, some good.
Casey G. Smith: All right, all right. You sold it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: All right, all right. You sold it.
Casey G. Smith: I'm I'm saying you know. How about you, man? When'd you get introduced?
Reginald Titus Jr.: I'm I'm saying you know. How about you, man? When'd you get introduced?
Casey G. Smith: Probably when it came out. I don't think I watched it in the movies, but home entertainment around that time. Really enjoyed it. I really like football movies in general. They did this one well. This time around, I watched it. And it was I was in college at the time when I was watched this film. And, um, watching it this time, my wife has never seen the film. So she's like, all right, watch since she's already, you know, watched Any Given Sunday. Let's go ahead and watch this one. So she's, she's in football mode. But yeah, liked it, but also, you know, considering now us being from like the DFW area, which is Dallas Fort Worth and, you know, being part of the suburbs and that being Dallas County, um, knowing about the Carter, uh, side and knowing that there's a side that, you know, in in this movie they kind of amp up like, these guys are bad sports and this, this and that. But knowing that there's a whole human story to Carter High.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Probably when it came out. I don't think I watched it in the movies, but home entertainment around that time. Really enjoyed it. I really like football movies in general. They did this one well. This time around, I watched it. And it was I was in college at the time when I was watched this film. And, um, watching it this time, my wife has never seen the film. So she's like, all right, watch since she's already, you know, watched Any Given Sunday. Let's go ahead and watch this one. So she's, she's in football mode. But yeah, liked it, but also, you know, considering now us being from like the DFW area, which is Dallas Fort Worth and, you know, being part of the suburbs and that being Dallas County, um, knowing about the Carter, uh, side and knowing that there's a side that, you know, in in this movie they kind of amp up like, these guys are bad sports and this, this and that. But knowing that there's a whole human story to Carter High.
Casey G. Smith: Oh, sure.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And, um, it was funny at the end of the movie, my wife was like, I'm happy Carter won. Oh, man. So, and then, you know, and then, uh, knowing actors in our area who actually played in the movie 'cause, you know, this might be part of trivia, but there was a movie Carter High kind of telling that side of it. Very low budget, but they were able to tell their side of the story. And I think there was like a 30 for 30 with the Carter High players and stuff. 30 for 30 or some type of ESPN story to kind of get the real story out because the only thing that people could go by were like the news headlines versus like knowing who these people really were. Which is just like the the few bad apples like just it messed up the whole, it just poisoned everybody's perception of the whole team and everybody in the community. But yeah, I, I still enjoyed it though. It was still, it was still well-executed, good . So, yeah. There you go.
Casey G. Smith: Oh, sure.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And, um, it was funny at the end of the movie, my wife was like, I'm happy Carter won. Oh, man. So, and then, you know, and then, uh, knowing actors in our area who actually played in the movie 'cause, you know, this might be part of trivia, but there was a movie Carter High kind of telling that side of it.

But yeah, I, I still enjoyed it though. It was still, it was still well-executed, good . So, yeah. There you go.

Film Analysis: Tone, Themes, Tropes, and Trivia
Reginald Titus Jr.: I've been on an energy drink, so I'm, I'm crooked. I don't know where to go. Does this film, does it bring like any memories about football, you know, you grew up in Texas, right? So, I went to, I went to high school. Yeah, high school. High school in Texas. Yeah. Um, you trans from like middle school to high school. Yeah. So, yeah, once I finished eighth grade, then we moved down to, to, uh, to San Antonio. Uh, and I attended Converse Judson, which was a major football powerhouse. So football was, football was a religion, you know, at my school. Um, my, my, in my school, I had a, had, had won multiple state championships. Actually my sophomore year, we actually played, uh, Odessa, uh, Permian, uh, which is where the, this film is based. So we, we actually beat them in state. Ha-ha, take that Mojo Magic. That's right. But yeah, so, yeah, so it was, it was very fascinating to me when, when I found out later on that this film was based off of that school. I'm like, oh, that's the school that we played in, uh, Yeah. In state. I'm like, oh, interesting. So, uh, yeah, it, it brings back, uh, it brings back some, some memories. But yeah, I, I didn't play. So, um, but again, I, I enjoy, I enjoy football films. And again, having watched the TV show, it, I, I was watching it just looking for like, just the different beats and, oh, I'm like, oh, that, that, that. So, so, yeah.

Reginald Titus Jr.: I can dig it, man. For me, a lot of memories. I mean, middle school, start tried to start in elementary, but football wasn't really for me that early in the pop Warner. I was like, ah, not yet. I wasn't ready for like the hits and stuff like that. But tried it out eighth grade, got on the, you know, the main team and one of my best friends like him and his buddies, they were just like, since pop Warner all the way to like middle school, like they had, they were suited, they had, they were just zoned in. Like they knew everything about football. One of my best friends at the time, I mean, he, he was like breaking people's legs. Like he'll just, he, he was a, he was a mean little short sucker, man. Whoa. Yeah. He, I remember like in 'cause that was eighth grade going, you know, we were transitioning to high school and people were making a decision like, 'cause you make that decision in high school to go ahead and do that. Uh, that's a pretty big decision and, you know, you want to be committed to go four years. Yeah. And we were all making the decision. I was like, I had fun in eighth grade and it was, but you get popped a few times and you start realizing, and if you get like close to being injured, which happened to me a couple times, you start really reevaluating, you'll be like, you know what, is this worth it? You know, is that, do I even have a career? I'm like, I'm parents are short. I'm pretty fast, but this probably ain't going to last. My body probably won't hold up throughout this whole four years. So it's like, you start, risk assessment. For real. Like, even though I was like in martial arts and stuff like that, I'd rather have the opportunity to defend myself and get knocked out versus like being blindsided and getting knocked out in football because that happened all the time. It happened to me, I almost broke my ribs, all kinds of stuff. Um, so I was like, nah, I want an opportunity to defend myself. Give me a chance. Yeah. And at least there's weight classes where like these guys are like twice your size landing on you and breaking your stuff. Like, nah, fam. But my, my friend, he was like, he had, he had tackled somebody like in their knees and like broke their leg. Kind of like how, um, Booby. Booby. How kind of like that situation, but it was just him, boom, hit the knee and broke the guy. Like, ah. Like Hearn, like, uh, Hearn did last year, like, yeah, he had, kind of I was like that. Almost like that. But that guy tackled him from behind and landed on it and that's what made it, that's what made it break. Yeah, that's what happened to Hearn. Like, at the, in the in that game, when he got his stuff stan, the guy. Yeah, almost like that. And brought his weight down on him. I, I, I strongly dislike that. That kind of tackle. I'm like, come on, you know you're coming down the dude's leg. Yeah. That one right there is, that's horrifying. And the tear was just, that one was gruesome because that one like broke like right under the calf muscle, that bone right there. I was like, that's nasty. That, that one you don't want to see nobody get hurt like that because it's very, very, very difficult to come back from something like that because it's in your brain. You know, it's like a mentality thing. One, it's going first of all, it's going to take about a year to heal and then it's in your brain for that long. But anyway, I remember my friend he had broke somebody's knee like kind of like that. He's like, he said, karma's going to come around. I think I'm done. Oh, man, he got felt guilty, huh? Yeah, he started, yeah, he was just like, I can't do that, you know, he was, he was playing rough like that. And he was like, I can't do that, man. And, yeah, he was taking people out, but, yeah, when it became a reality, when he actually saw someone's leg get broken, I was like, yeah, I'm done. I'm not going to do this anymore.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. That one right there is, that's horrifying. And the tear was just, that one was gruesome because that one like broke like right under the calf muscle, that bone right there. I was like, that's nasty. That, that one you don't want to see nobody get hurt like that because it's very, very, very difficult to come back from something like that because it's in your brain. You know, it's like a mentality thing. One, it's going first of all, it's going to take about a year to heal and then it's in your brain for that long. But anyway, I remember my friend he had broke somebody's knee like kind of like that. He's like, he said, karma's going to come around. I think I'm done. Oh, man, he got felt guilty, huh? Yeah, he started, yeah, he was just like, I can't do that, you know, he was, he was playing rough like that. And he was like, I can't do that, man. And, yeah, he was taking people out, but, yeah, when it became a reality, when he actually saw someone's leg get broken, I was like, yeah, I'm done. I'm not going to do this anymore.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I remember I had, I had a fraternity brother who told me, he's a, he used to play for a team in, uh, I think he went to like South Padre High School or something like that. And, uh, he, he meant to tell me like when he was playing high school football that in one game, his coach said, hey, I need you to take out number so and so. And literally like they, they dog piled this one player on the opposing team and like he just reached in the pile and like got his ankle and pop, snapped it. I'm like, yeah, I'm kind of glad my mom didn't let me go out for football. Like I remember, I remember like when I was a freshman, you know, at Judson, I was like, man, you know, I was like, I was, you know, 'cause again, I, I always done track. I had played basketball. We didn't, we didn't really have a, a football team or anything, but I knew I was like, you know what? Yeah, I think I mean, what, you know, go and, you know, try out. Again, I had some speed and I had some ups. Um, but my mom was like, no, you're not going out for football. But dad was like, oh, you want to know, but my mom was like, no. He's like, if he goes out and gets hurt, I was like, all right, whatever. I guess it wasn't that important to me. I was like, all right, fine, whatever. I didn't, I didn't fight against it. I was like, all right, fine. Yeah, it's, you know, that, that's real. You got to have a passion for it. When my situation, it was like, I liked it. I wanted to prove that I could do it. You know, but then you started evaluating like, I'm gonna do something else.
Casey G. Smith: I remember I had, I had a fraternity brother who told me, he's a, he used to play for a team in, uh, I think he went to like South Padre High School or something like that. And, uh, he, he meant to tell me like when he was playing high school football that in one game, his coach said, hey, I need you to take out number so and so. And literally like they, they dog piled this one player on the opposing team and like he just reached in the pile and like got his ankle and pop, snapped it. I'm like, yeah, I'm kind of glad my mom didn't let me go out for football.

We didn't, we didn't really have a, a football team or anything, but I knew I was like, you know what? Yeah, I think I mean, what, you know, go and, you know, try out. Again, I had some speed and I had some ups. Um, but my mom was like, no, you're not going out for football. But dad was like, oh, you want to know, but my mom was like, no.

I was like, all right, fine.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, it's, you know, that, that's real. You got to have a passion for it. When my situation, it was like, I liked it. I wanted to prove that I could do it. You know, but then you started evaluating like, I'm gonna do something else.
Casey G. Smith: Well, man, you know, I've got, I've got a brother-in-law. And again, I like football. Again, I, I watched the Cowboys play today, you know. But, uh, I got a brother-in-law who, he played football in high school and was, was good. I think, largely played on special teams. But, you know, had some height, you know, speed, he was very, very strong. Dude is incredibly strong. But he got, he got hit at the end of a play, like a dirty hit. Yeah. In his hip. And, uh, before the age of 40, he's had, he's had two hip replacement surgeries. Damn. Yeah. That's true, man. Like, I don't see how some of these guys, like they wear nothing, like even in NFL, like they don't have pads on their thighs and like all that stuff. I was like, y'all are tripping. I think NFL mandated it that they had to start wearing these pads again, 'cause I remember some people weren't wearing anything. Chappelle talks about how they didn't wear any pads. He's like, I just want to run faster. But you get somebody like Eric Dickerson. He's got all the pads on, like, from one of the all-time rushing leaders. He's like, I don't, I want wearing that. I don't want to get hurt. I'm wearing everything. Man. Yeah, man. It's rough out here. Um, what did you think about the commentary?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Well, man, you know, I've got, I've got a brother-in-law. And again, I like football. Again, I, I watched the Cowboys play today, you know. But, uh, I got a brother-in-law who, he played football in high school and was, was good. I think, largely played on special teams. But, you know, had some height, you know, speed, he was very, very strong. Dude is incredibly strong. But he got, he got hit at the end of a play, like a dirty hit. Yeah. In his hip. And, uh, before the age of 40, he's had, he's had two hip replacement surgeries. Damn. Yeah. That's true, man. Like, I don't see how some of these guys, like they wear nothing, like even in NFL, like they don't have pads on their thighs and like all that stuff. I was like, y'all are tripping. I think NFL mandated it that they had to start wearing these pads again, 'cause I remember some people weren't wearing anything. Chappelle talks about how they didn't wear any pads.

I don't want to get hurt. I'm wearing everything. Man. Yeah, man. It's rough out here. Um, what did you think about the commentary?
Casey G. Smith: Man. Yeah, man. It's rough out here. Um, what did you think about the commentary?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Um, so the commentary, it was, it was unique. This is maybe a little bit of trivia. So, um, the director Peter Berg and the, the actual writer of the book Buzz Bissinger, they're actually cousins.
Casey G. Smith: Um, so the commentary, it was, it was unique. This is maybe a little bit of trivia. So, um, the director Peter Berg and the, the actual writer of the book Buzz Bissinger, they're actually cousins.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh. Yeah, that makes sense why they, they like, uh, Bissinger was kind of like nag, each other. Yeah, they're actually, they're actually cousins. They're family. They're blood, blood relatives. And so when Bissinger had, made the, had made the, had written the book, um, he had told Peter, he's like, hey, man, he goes, you ever get a chance, you know, to direct this thing, you better direct it or I'll kill you. You know, they were joking, they were joking around, you know. But, um, but yeah, so he was, he was super happy that once, and once, and Peter had read the book. And so once he had a chance to, uh, to actually shoot the film, you know, he, he, you know, jumped at the chance. But yeah, but that's why they're, they're, they have so much banter. Uh, I thought it was, I thought it was good 'cause it was very, you know, telling, especially having, having Bissinger there because Bissinger actually went to, you know, went to this area of Texas and then lived there and interviewed these people. So he brings a, a, a perspective that's, uh, is pretty rich. Yeah. And then, you know, Berg is throwing in his tips here and there. , it was, it was, it was a different kind of commentary because it was so close. Um, but, uh, but I thought still enjoyable.
Casey G. Smith: Oh. Yeah, that makes sense why they, they like, uh, Bissinger was kind of like nag, each other. Yeah, they're actually, they're actually cousins. They're family. They're blood, blood relatives. And so when Bissinger had, made the, had made the, had written the book, um, he had told Peter, he's like, hey, man, he goes, you ever get a chance, you know, to direct this thing, you better direct it or I'll kill you. You know, they were joking, they were joking around, you know. But, um, but yeah, so he was, he was super happy that once, and once, and Peter had read the book. And so once he had a chance to, uh, to actually shoot the film, you know, he, he, you know, jumped at the chance. But yeah, but that's why they're, they're, they have so much banter.

So he brings a, a, a perspective that's, uh, is pretty rich. Yeah. And then, you know, Berg is throwing in his tips here and there. , it was, it was, it was a different kind of commentary because it was so close. Um, but, uh, but I thought still enjoyable.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. And then, you know, Berg is throwing in his tips here and there. , it was, it was, it was a different kind of commentary because it was so close. Um, but, uh, but I thought still enjoyable.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah. And then, you know, Berg is throwing in his tips here and there. , it was, it was, it was a different kind of commentary because it was so close. Um, but, uh, but I thought still enjoyable.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah, I enjoyed the writer's perspective from, since it's being, since it's, um, based on the book and having the writer actually there and giving just a new perspective to what he experienced, which doesn't mean it's right or wrong. It's just a perspective from being there. Sure. And, um, and I definitely appreciate that writer's perspective. Same thing like with Goodfellas, I think in the commentary, didn't they have the, the writer, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. They had the writer there. They just gives you a different perspective 'cause it's like they're living it even more 'cause they're, they're staying with these subjects for long periods of time. And like, it's almost like they become a character in the story in a way because they're, you know, being the journalist. , I I did, I did enjoy it. He got kind of excited about the Carter High stuff. I was like, calm down, calm down.
Casey G. Smith: Yeah, I enjoyed the writer's perspective from, since it's being, since it's, um, based on the book and having the writer actually there and giving just a new perspective to what he experienced, which doesn't mean it's right or wrong. It's just a perspective from being there. Sure. And, um, and I definitely appreciate that writer's perspective.

He got kind of excited about the Carter High stuff. I was like, calm down, calm down.
Casey G. Smith: Well, here's what's, what's interesting with that. When initially when he said that stuff, I was like, oh man, yeah, he's getting kind of heated. But then I watched, I watched some of the additional features, um, that that are on the, the, the DVD and the Blu-ray. They kind of like, you know, talk about some of the stuff. And, and that's it, it was, it was fascinating. Again, I, you know, would want to, again, you know, potentially still research it myself, but it was, uh, interesting. I was like, Yeah. 'Cause like for once he said, you know, he almost got into it with the coach's wife and like almost came to blows because she wanted to like, hey, you, I'm like, the way y'all painting, you know, the coach. And he's like, almost came to blows. But it's all right. Like, what? Yeah. And it's also, it's, it's fascinating that, um, you know, obviously he, he wrote the book. And he said, one thing that the movie doesn't, doesn't, like in the book, he talks far more about like the racism that was in the, in the in the town and things like that. And it's, it's, it's, it's very understated in the film. It's, it's, it's, it's kind of, it's, it's, you could see it almost like you have to look for it almost, you know. But it's very, it's very understated. And, yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right. And that's the thing that's why I didn't like, you know, he was so excited about the Carter High thing and being, you know, jumping down the back some of those guys. But when it came to the racism of Odessa 1988, for example, um, with, uh, Boobie, you know, when he got hurt, you know, there were quotes, like, there were a lot of racial epithets thrown at him when he was injured. You know, one person saying, you should be shot like an animal. You know, like, that's how crazy these people were. You know, fanatical, things like that, you know, racist stuff and like, it, it's just pretty, it's sad, you know, what happens to these people.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Yeah. 'Cause like for once he said, you know, he almost got into it with the coach's wife and like almost came to blows because she wanted to like, hey, you, I'm like, the way y'all painting, you know, the coach.

Casey G. Smith: And that's where, that, that, this that almost makes me want to read the book. Yeah. You know, to, to, to because apparently again because some people, uh, were mad. Some people from the town were mad about the book because the way that they felt they were portrayed. Some people, some people loved it. So, uh, if it dives deeper into racism, I'm sure, you know, I'm sure the racist people were mad that they were portrayed as racist, you know, whatever the case might be. But, uh, but yeah, I'm, I'm, maybe I'll find this on audio book or something like that from the library and just check it out and listen to it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And that's where, that, that, this that almost makes me want to read the book. Yeah. You know, to, to, to because apparently again because some people, uh, were mad.

But, uh, but yeah, I'm, I'm, maybe I'll find this on audio book or something like that from the library and just check it out and listen to it.
Reginald Titus Jr.: And if they were to play up the racism of the town, he'd be like, man, who really won? You know, it's like, how are you supposed to feel that for, for cinematic reasons? Like for the, the movie's sake, like how would you feel? Like, who's really the villain? Like, what's going on here?
Casey G. Smith: And if they were to play up the racism of the town, he'd be like, man, who really won? You know, it's like, how are you supposed to feel that for, for cinematic reasons? Like for the, the movie's sake, like how would you feel? Like, who's really the villain? Like, what's going on here?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Oh, they're kind of having your classic antagonist, protagonist. Well, again, they didn't win the game. Um, but again, it's not, I don't, again, I, I don't. Would you feel proud though that they gave it their all?
Casey G. Smith: Oh, they're kind of having your classic antagonist, protagonist. Well, again, they didn't win the game. Um, but again, it's not, I don't, again, I, I don't. Would you feel proud though that they gave it their all?
Reginald Titus Jr.: Well, again, it's different if your city is a certain way versus the, the, the players, right? 'Cause they have their own individual struggles. And they did have one moment, as far as, you know, 'cause it wasn't Carter's story that they were telling. Uh, it was Odessa's. But they did have that, they did have that one moment though, where both teams are, you know, having their coaches talk to them, you know, and and giving them whatever speeches they're giving them for motivation. And then they're both praying, you know, and it's going back and forth. I thought that was cool. 'Cause that, that, that gives that, that, that element of like, okay, we're all, we're all trying to win. They're trying to win, we're trying to win, you know. But these dudes were bigger, they were stronger. They had, they had swag.
Casey G. Smith: Well, again, it's different if your city is a certain way versus the, the, the players, right? 'Cause they have their own individual struggles.

But these dudes were bigger, they were stronger. They had, they had swag.
Reginald Titus Jr.: I think the only time they really kind of showed the, the racism of old, the Odessa was early in the film when the coaches at his house. I forgot what kind of people are over there.
Casey G. Smith: I think the only time they really kind of showed the, the racism of old, the Odessa was early in the film when the coaches at his house. I forgot what kind of people are over there.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Boosters.
Casey G. Smith: Boosters. I think, I think those were, boosters or, or they may, they may have been actual, you know, maybe, um, politicians in the city or something like that. But I think, I think they were mainly, boosters. Oh. And one of the ladies was making a suggestion to the coach, like, hey, you need to play, I think they were talking about the middle linebacker. They need to play him both on offense and defense. And he's like, no, we're just going to, you know, we're just going to keep him on defense. And she's like, that big nigger can, uh, handle it. Or you can't break that big nigger? Something like that. I was like, whoa. See, here's the funny thing. I, when, watching the film the first time, I didn't even catch that. The way she says nigger is so light. Like you barely hear the G in it. Yeah. That I didn't catch it until the commentary. And then when they talk about it, I'm like, oh wait, what? She said, what? Wait a minute, what? I had, I had to go back and, and rewind it. I was like, whoa, it's so, it's almost like she didn't, as an actress, it's almost like the actress like almost like she didn't want to say it. Yeah. Because it came out quick and it, and the, the, it's very light on the G. Yeah. And yeah, And it'll break. I was like, what? Yeah, and that, and that kind of. It is quick, it is quick. That kind of paints that, paints the perspective different. Again, so you talk about just again, understated. 'Cause they could have, they could have, just give us all, give us a hard. If you're going to use it, go ahead and use it. You need more G. Can you, we need more E R with this. Emphasize the E R. Yeah, I was like. Exclamation, please. Whoa. Yeah. And so, like, stuff like that. It's like, let's turn that up a little bit. So that we can, so give us the real Odessa of 1988. Come on. But again, it comes back down to narrative. Like, okay, is with, within the movie itself, right? How we want to go, we want to sell tickets. All right. Do we want to play up that element or do we want to play up the, the fight of the team? Right. Which, you know, I, I don't know. I guess it's course, what, what, what the movie is about. The book could be about something, but this is a movie inspired by the book. So it's just, it's just touching, and, and that's the director's call to say, oh, I'm, I'm, we're going to, we're going to have it there, but it'll be, but it'll be understated. Just pretend that this doesn't happen. Let's, it'll be understated. Very. Yeah, but that was, it was, it was fascinating. But it makes me fascinating to, to check out Carter's story now. Yeah. Uh, as well, you know, 'Cause I, I, I'd heard about them winning state and having the, having an ineligible player and then having the title stripped away. But, but then I didn't know about the, the, I don't know, the five players that, you know, performed, whatever, or, stupid.
Reginald Titus Jr.: Boosters. I think, I think those were, boosters or, or they may, they may have been actual, you know, maybe, um, politicians in the city or something like that. But I think, I think they were mainly, boosters. Oh. And one of the ladies was making a suggestion to the coach, like, hey, you need to play, I think they were talking about the middle linebacker.

Or you can't break that big nigger? Something like that. I was like, whoa. See, here's the funny thing. I, when, watching the film the first time, I didn't even catch that. The way she says nigger is so light. Like you barely hear the G in it. Yeah. That I didn't catch it until the commentary. And then when they talk about it, I'm like, oh wait, what? She said, what? Wait a minute, what? I had, I had to go back and, and rewind it. I was like, whoa, it's so, it's almost like she didn't, as an actress, it's almost like the actress like almost like she didn't want to say it. Yeah. Because it came out quick and it, and the, the, it's very light on the G. Yeah. And yeah, And it'll break. I was like, what? Yeah, and that, and that kind of. It is quick, it is quick. That kind of paints that, paints the perspective different. Again, so you talk about just again, understated. 'Cause they could have, they could have, just give us all, give us a hard. If you're going to use it, go ahead and use it. You need more G. Can you, we need more E R with this. Emphasize the E R. Yeah, I was like. Exclamation, please. Whoa. Yeah. And so, like, stuff like that. It's like, let's turn that up a little bit. So that we can, so give us the real Odessa of 1988. Come on. But again, it comes back down to narrative. Like, okay, is with, within the movie itself, right? How we want to go, we want to sell tickets. All right. Do we want to play up that element or do we want to play up the, the fight of the team? Right. Which, you know, I, I don't know. I guess it's course, what, what, what the movie is about. The book could be about something, but this is a movie inspired by the book. So it's just, it's just touching, and, and that's the director's call to say, oh, I'm, I'm, we're going to, we're going to have it there, but it'll be, but it'll be understated. Just pretend that this doesn't happen. Let's, it'll be understated. Very. Yeah, but that was, it was, it was fascinating. But it makes me fascinating to, to check out Carter's story now. Yeah. Uh, as well, you know, 'Cause I, I, I'd heard about them winning state and having the, having an ineligible player and then having the title stripped away. But, but then I didn't know about the, the, I don't know, the five players that, you know, performed, whatever, or, stupid.
Casey G. Smith: Boosters. I think, I think those were, boosters or, or they may, they may have been actual, you know, maybe, um, politicians in the city or something like that.
