| 0:00.0 | What's going on? I am Nando. And I'm DJ. And this is mostly nitpicking, a podcast where every week we pick apart a piece of pop culture by looking exclusively at the details. Woo! |
| 0:25.4 | This week, we're doing a movie that we shouldn't have to do. |
| 0:28.0 | A movie that no one asked for. |
| 0:31.7 | But we're doing, because that's how it works now. |
| 0:37.0 | Every so often, there is going to be a movie given to us by a certain company that is producing some stuff that I love and a bunch of stuff that I don't quite care for. And then we're just going to have to do that movie. Got one coming up in maybe three or four weeks. And another one pretty soon after that. And then probably something in the end of the year I'm forgetting about. Yeah, we have a lot of those. And I think it's summer is one of those things where it just kind of comes around, right? |

| 1:05.5 | Today we're doing Aladdin. |
| 1:06.8 | I don't think that it would be the smart move in general from these companies. |

| 1:17.5 | But there's just nowhere to put, like, the other one besides the shitty times, like August or January. |
| 1:23.3 | Because there's a superhero movie every other week. |
| 1:26.0 | Lion King's in June, right? |

But the Will Smith July 4th thing, like that used to be a whole thing. Is it his movies came out in July 4th? Why not do that with Aladdin? Why not? Look, you're going retro anyway. |
| 1:24.8 | You're digging back into the 90s to get your content. |
| 1:27.5 | Go back into... movies came out in July 4th. Why not do that with Aladdin? Why not? Look, you're going retro anyway. |
| 1:44.5 | You're digging back into the 90s to get your content. Go back and pull some of that nostalgia back. You've got to had a whole thing about Will Smith doing the 4th of July thing. What movies come out this 4th of July? Good question. 2019. Let's see. I'm going to Google it. If you just Google July 4th, 2019, you get a big day and says Independence Day. |
