Speaker: 00:00:00

The 2022 animated film Entergalactic,

2

: 00:00:04

starring Kid Cudi

3

: 00:00:05

I enjoyed this quite a bit.

4

: 00:00:06

The animation was really good.

5

: 00:00:08

Kind of gave me that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse vibes.

6

: 00:00:10

Like the same style of animation.

7

: 00:00:12

Great story, very relatable.

8

: 00:00:14

I have one gripe with this film.

9

: 00:00:16

And this is a spoiler alert, but in the

great climax at the end of the film,

10

: 00:00:20

Meadow runs from her great new gallery

show debut

11

: 00:00:25

to reconcile with Jabari. The stakes is

high for her.

12

: 00:00:29

Like this is a big deal, this exhibit,

13

: 00:00:31

this gallery. And Jabari doesn't really

have to sacrifice anything for this.

14

: 00:00:35

Like yes, he takes a leap and he makes

this grand gesture, but

15

: 00:00:39

maybe if she was The One and

he didn't pursue her really,

16

: 00:00:41

then you you lose out on that.

17

: 00:00:43

She could have gotten away.

18

: 00:00:45

See you next lifetime, like Erykah Badu would say.

19

: 00:00:48

But it's romantic on the surface, but there's an imbalance.

20

: 00:00:50

She has leave her own exhibit just to meet up with him,

21

: 00:00:54

Right.

Even though it looks romantic. It's kind of common that these things happen and we just kinda go with it.

22

: 00:00:59

The imbalance, the dynamic between

23

: 00:01:01

men and women.

24

: 00:01:02

It's a touch patriarchal and we

just sort of not think about

25

: 00:01:05

it anymore 'cause it just happens

everywhere.

26

: 00:01:06

And so I was like, mm

27

: 00:01:09

Enh. Even though they're together and like that

was kind of the point.

28

: 00:01:12

It’s funny you say that.

29

: 00:01:13

Yeah, my son Ice Berg, we he was watching

it with me as well.

30

: 00:01:15

He said the very same thing. He's like,

I can't believe she

31

: 00:01:19

would leave her own show.

32

: 00:01:20

Like she's built up to this,

33

: 00:01:21

she's really just leaving her

34

: 00:01:23

art show like that?

35

: 00:01:24

Right. Didn't add up for him either.

36

: 00:01:26

So that's a good point. So I know Kid Cudi

37

: 00:01:28

is the main character of this film

38

: 00:01:30

with all the main character energy.

39

: 00:01:31

And so this has to come on his terms.

40

: 00:01:33

But we see it so much. It's like we see it

so much we don't see it anymore.

41

: 00:01:37

And so I was like, mmm.

42

: 00:01:40

And what's up with the Temple

University keychain?

43

: 00:01:42

Like I was like, whoa, what's what's that?

I saw that.

44

: 00:01:45

Like cool.

45

: 00:01:46

Go Owls.

46

: 00:01:47

It’s kind of random.

47

: 00:01:48

It didn't come up afterwards. And I looked

into it.

48

: 00:01:51

I couldn't find anything really,

49

: 00:01:52

but anyone listening or watching,

50

: 00:01:54

tell us what's up with this.

51

: 00:01:56

Maybe, somebody involved with the

film went to Temple or has ties,

52

: 00:01:59

Maybe. You know the internet,

53

: 00:02:00

the bots say that it's

probably just a way to make

54

: 00:02:03

her look authentic. A New York

photographer,

55

: 00:02:05

maybe roots in Philly went to Temple

probably

56

: 00:02:10

And just had to make them look real and

I'm fine.

57

: 00:02:13

But it was very stark!

58

: 00:02:15

I know that T anywhere.

59

: 00:02:18

That white T on the red. The cherry and

the white T on the red. Uh-huh.

60

: 00:02:20

The cherry and the white.

61

: 00:02:21

I know it very well.

62

: 00:02:23

But it's like, huh. What's up with that?

63

: 00:02:27

Yeah, I picked up on that too.

64

: 00:02:29

I'm like 'cause I'm like a Philly guy.

65

: 00:02:31

I'm like, Temple, is this Philly?

66

: 00:02:32

I'm like, no, it's New York City.

67

: 00:02:34

But yeah, there's gotta be some some story behind it.

68

: 00:02:37

Somebody's like, We can't let New York get

all the energy,

69

: 00:02:39

let's throw that in there.

70

: 00:02:41

So anyway,

71

: 00:02:42

did love the movie though.

72

: 00:02:46

Alright, you guys want to go around and

and rate the film here like we usually do?

73

104

And if you remember, the first concert I

took my son to was Kid Cudi in Philly,

105

: 00:04:31

which was literally a few weeks before

Entergalactic was released.

106

: 00:04:35

It was around September 9th of 2022.

107

: 00:04:38

Yep.

Dope, dope. And I'm Boogie, a DJ,

this recording,

111

: 00:04:50

Yes, give it up. DJ Kool Herc,

112

: 00:04:53

aka Clive Campbell threw a legendary

back to school jam at: 1520

113

: 00:04:58

Ave in the Bronx, New York, back in

: 1973

114

: 00:05:02

Mm-hmm.

And remember, don't hate, gesticulate.
