are of course a YouTube channel that focuses on movies and shows so with that we have social

media that we are constantly plugged into but every time I scroll I feel like I'm hit with

and dance and counter blessings and race for pinks but he also

had a dream to play for the world uhoh and one day he left with his guitar

oh married to the music

you don't need to go get milk there's cows here and the mama she didn't have time to cry over

that walkway musician hey

she found a way to provide for her daughter it's ironic that this is set to music there it is

she learned to make shoes oh damn she became a cobbler

or whatever the Spanish word is for then she taught her daughter to make shoes

this is a really cool intro she taught her son-in-law

yeah yeah using the traditional little flags or I don't know what they're called

whatever these like doily things are comment below what are these called music had torn her

family apart a

but shoes held them all together and shoes are pretty important you know

I'm pretty sturdy that woman who's my grand walk on me again

was up to me to reach for that dream grab it tight and make it come true

oh right down the barrel it's also kind of like Soul too

that whole thread about being in the zone i'm going to play if he kills me

i would love it if Soul was just about a guy who gave up jazz to work at the AutoZone

the pedals guide our home i like the way that they're

sprinkling in the actual tradition through the little incidental dialogue too

it's interesting that in these kinds of movies like the director of photography can be split

into two like one who takes lead on the camera so to speak and then the other one who does the

lighting it's kind of cool what a beautiful film man

anthony Gonzalez well done it was Guy Garcia Bernal okay benjamin Brat was Ernesto de

la Cruz alana Ubach uh golly who was Freda oh we missed it

i was gonna say is she credited i don't know we'll have to look that up i I I am willing to bet that

could have been unless we just missed the credit yeah I feel like Selma would be a funny Easter egg

uh and thank you for chiming in and stoking the fires of our conversation

miguel knew the basics of his family history but learned so much more on Dia de los Muertos if you

had the opportunity to meet your ancestors under safeish conditions would you and what would you

uh hope to learn about them oh my god oh man i mean I would absolutely take

it like if this was possible you know like if if this literally was how you know the rules of life

and death worked out and you know you could cross over back and forth or something like that i think

it would be really cool like I I know certain things about my you know family tree going up

to at least my greatgrandparents but there's a lot there that I don't know about or you know that you

know and I'm getting to that point in life too where you start to kind of think once you live

enough I think you start to realize you know and if you're lucky enough to to have family close to

you you know you you start to kind of realize that time is precious and also that yeah you want to

kind of like go back and collect just the details like you start to find there's that old trope I

think of like oh grandpa like you're boring story but like you know I love that stuff and and you

know the the more I live the more I'm like yeah give me that like you know let me hear about just

what life was like for any number of you know these pictures that I've seen yeah on the wall

or an old photo album or whatever it might be um I mean yeah I guess I would just hope to learn

anything possible any kind of I guess what their passions were like and you know how they filled

their days and you know what they were like and what their relationships in within the family

might have been like all that stuff yeah um

yeah when I uh when I hear that question I um I think of my grandpa who uh passed in 2014

um my grandma on my dad's side passed in '08 and then um her husband I guess technically also my

grandpa passed in 20 no uh passed in 94 and I was born in 95 and uh never got a chance to meet him

of course but yeah I have a ton of questions um stories history you know from my dad's side like

what was it like growing up in Louisiana um like on my mom's side I'd ask Yeah just so much about

what it was like growing up in the 60s and just that time being black in America but I'd also

want to share my poetry with them because um yeah I mean I I knew my my grandma and I knew

my grandpa but neither of them ever got to hear me do poetry before so I'd like to share

that with them and um just hear on their own experiences so yeah that's that's what I would

want to do if I to see somebody that's beautiful yeah man i would spend all that time talking about

me and not let them get a word in edgewise no no no this is my show

i am taking time out of my busy life to come visit your death

i am the center of attention that's a really thoughtful question though and I would love to

if anybody in the comments wants to of this video wants to chime in by all means please

uh Tori Jerry thank you for chiming in as well dia de Muertos is a Mexican heritage tradition

with roots in indigenous culture to learn more visit your local library to the people across

time who supported and inspired us what a lovely way to end off the credits here that's beautiful

oh man little little of frienda style right at the end

remember us yeah beautiful all

right tori Jerry Coco three questions coco is my favorite film hands down beautiful

that's a comment uh as a Mexican it was a surreal experience to finally have something

like this that is so informed by our culture and whimsy you rarely see children's films

tackle the loss of death and here's one uh where it's literally the entire plot how do you think

uh they did navigating that one did you learn anything new about this holiday and

or what stood out to you about it uh and three this is also one of the only I didn't I didn't

even register this uh it's one of the only Pixar films that is a musical how do you think they did

with the music oh man the musical is incredible i would say yeah start off with question three

the music like I I'm going to imagine that all the songs we heard for the most part were originals

for this movie i'm sure there's probably some traditional element of music worked in as well

um but yeah I love the music in this i thought this was really well handled

was well dispersed throughout the plot and you know again to have something that is so heavily

steeped in you know South American Mexican musical culture and stuff like that those traditions those

sounds those instruments um I love that like I I love the journey you know the cultural aspect of

the journey of that and also the sounds are just beautiful and I thought that the array

of songs that they assembled for this movie kind of hit a lot of different flavors it wasn't like

repetitive or redundant or you know fillery yeah um I think all the music in this movie was really

strong and really fun and catchy um yeah kind of similar to yourself i I think I said at the

beginning like "Oh yeah I've heard that song before." I was like "Oh yeah." Cuz I I I that

uh I watched this one time in theaters in 2017 on Thanksgiving Day and I didn't remember anything

about it other than Remember Me and Pok Loco i like I couldn't remember a single element

of the plot the characters or anything but just those songs but the fact that music has our main

character is trying to um embark on or or at least share to some extent um is so important because it

it transcends time and and it sticks with you it's it is what you remember um most like the tune even

if you don't remember the lyrics of something you remember the the tune of it you know that's why we

have Shazam like what's this what's this song with this melody and this this beat or whatever but

um yeah I think that what was the other two questions uh so the first one is yeah how do you

think they handled the musical element being that this is one of their rare musical films uh did

you learn anything new about Dia de Muertos and or what stood out to you about their depiction of it

and um how do you think they did navigating the loss of life like death in the plot basically

um I guess I didn't realize the importance of the the photos on the display what was it called

the friend yeah i And how pivotal that aspect of

um the celebration is and and and honoring the heritage and I don't I don't know if the story

and the and the the basis of them passing through is something from uh the culture something the

movie made up in of itself but I think that's um yeah there's something beautiful about that

that the the honoring of them is based on your ability to show your care and your memory of the

people from the past and you know it it even if it's not like a global legacy

their their stories and their images live on through the descendants and then the the level

of of impact or just like community within your own um family kind of dictates how how

um you you're presented and the longevity of your ability to cross over into this world

i thought that was beautiful yeah absolutely i feel like this

is um you know Dia de Muertos especially I think you know if you if you're growing up and you're

into Halloween and stuff like that like it's adjacent in time and so you kind of gather up

that imagery and and you know over the years too as you know we have awakened a bit as a society

in some respects and we have woken up

yeah well you know I mean like along as much as people lose their minds uh when you drop that

word in anywhere I feel like one thing about it that is um I think demonstra demonstrabably and

definitively lovely is the way in which people do go out of their way now to be like hey you

know you've seen sugar skulls around I'm sure here's what they actually mean or here's what

the ritual actually is here's what the tradition is here's what this image is coming from and so

I mean in the in the last several years I feel like you know we've I have learned to

be sort of more respectful in that regard of you know what the cultural aspect of it means

and I think it's really gorgeous like you know it's it seems like a the kind of tradition that

anybody could get on board with in a way like I think it's it's beautifully you know of its

uh time and place but also you know like the idea of yes setting up a little altar and leaving out

these gifts for your family like these are all little scraps that I had gathered over you know

many years and and some stuff I had learned when I was a little younger but I think certainly since

this movie came out there's been a lot more of a direct sort of clarification within society of

just like what is diutos what is the purpose what is the ritual what is the tradition and

I I I just love the way this personified that and and clued into the idea that yeah like this

is how we you know honor our ancestors this is you know the we live in a world obviously

where everything is digitized and and you know it's not we don't live in the natural world

the what am I trying to say the further we get into time the less of the natural world we live in

and this is sort of a beautiful human thing to do it's a very sort of you know natural world to me

kind of thing to do which is yeah set up an altar get the image of your loved ones so that you can

you know think on and reflect on them and remember them leave out some things that they would have

loved and you know I think it on the one hand it's like yeah objectively speaking like are

they really there to grab it who knows but at the same time I think yeah for us it you know embraces

death in a different way and and confronts and sort of um just sits with it in a sense you know

it's like it might be sad to be reminded that you know whoever might be on your ofrena is gone but

at the same time I think there is something that is sort of celebratory and in tune with the sort

of continuum of of all things of life of mortality and and whatnot not to yeah to have something like

that that brings your loved ones present though they may be gone and you know those traditions

of like ooh during this time of the year the veil is thin between the living and the dead and you

know the heavens and the earth and whatever else and um I think this movie to kind of

melt a couple of your questions together I think this really nicely handled the concept of death

um because yeah like it's a Disney trope obviously of like oh they're going to merk someone's parents

and this was like yeah there is a a certain whimsy uh there's a certain melancholy but there's also I

mean for a movie about death this doesn't skew as dark as it could or as sad or depressing

and and in some ways like I can think of more heartbreaking death stories in the Disney/Pixar

cannon anyway but at the same time this kind of demystifies a certain amount of things and yeah

accepts death as a part of life and shows how from like a very young age from Miguel's age you

can be clued into the fact that yeah these are our relatives who have passed on but also this is how

we honor them it hurts it always will hurt to some extent but this is how we keep them alive we can

create familial bonds and we can celebrate here in the now together with those of us who are living

whilst communing over our you know lost loved ones who we might have known or who we might have only

just heard about and again the more we live the more precious that stuff feels and you know it's

like my grandparents are gone um and I was lucky enough to hear a lot of stories and be around for

a lot of stuff but it never feels like it's enough you know and now you know I'm like okay well you

know family members come to visit or or I should do this more with my own direct parents like what

were grandma and grandpa like or what was great grandma and grandpa like well tell me some just

experiences just recount this stuff because like that's life and that's precious and and so yeah

like this is I think from my outside understanding of the again the ritual and the celebration this

felt very much like some type of macob but very beautiful and bright fiesta you know and

uh I thought this was really nicely handled and I'm glad to see that it appears that again folks

for whom this is hitting like directly at home you know people who you know have grown up within

this culture seem to also really flock to and of this movie and it's cool to see them nail that and

uh and you know get it you know spiritually on point um so yeah I think they navigated the idea

of death and and the idea of being forgotten and I think that's an idea too that like again is kind

of nuanced and sophisticated especially for like a young viewer to be like "Oh yeah you know like

you know it's sad to think that these people are gone but here's how we can honor them."

And that's even different than simply thinking about them you know we can actively honor them

um so yeah I mean like and this just had so many lovely details and stuff like that so I

mean yeah um I'm trying to think if I learned anything specifically new about the holiday i

think the thing that this gives me is like you know bits and pieces maybe going in about like

what certain you know aspects are um in a factual sense but this movie I think brought the aura and

brought the sort of cultural intermingling with everything else as a factor into it you know

you got to see it kind of in action and in practice if that makes sense and I think that is

a a really enchanting detail that then brings you into again like the beauty of the celebration and

the idea of like you're like I should do that like you know we should all do it seems like the kind

of thing we should all do you know no seriously

yeah um honor our ancestors

guys honor their legacy honor their memories keep them alive in way absolutely um okay we

got one from Dylan Panther Bone this question is for both John and Aaron for the Coco movie what

is one song that could take you instantly back in time much like the grandma at the end of the

movie for myself Hey Jude by the Beatles always makes me think of my grandma i would love to hear

either of your picks as fellow music nerds music is a powerful thing side note I hope everyone on

the team is staying hydrated and finding time to prioritize yourself self-care is important

and every reject is worth it thank you so much awesome for that appreciate that what song takes

you back oh man a few songs the the song uh maybe not thinking of family but so to speak but a song

called Nine in the Afternoon by Panic at the Disco i love that song

i love that song makes me think of karaoke on occasion

yeah dude makes me think of middle school um yeah dude there that's that one just

rings true and like nostalgia for me also um yeah weirdly Demi Lovato's Cool for the Summer

makes me think of like my early 20s college era sure yeah there's there's a lot of them um those

are the two I think of at the moment but I'm trying to think of like childhood songs

childhood the first one that springs to mind and I'm sure there are others you know this is the

kind of question I would think forever about because there are so many songs that take you

places but here in this moment I am struck with listening to Hotel California in the car with

my dad when we would be like listening to like the classic rock radio and it's like a song that would

come on a lot and and I was always like enamored with like the guitars and the storytelling and

like you know my dad would emphasize certain lines of the song or whatever you know it's like it's a

well known well-loved song but uh such a lovely place

such a lovely face ready your room at the Hotel California any time of year

uh God that's a great question though and and you guys obviously jump in the comments and let

us know but uh yeah thank you Dylan just for for the lovely sentiments the lovely wishes and uh you

know for for checking in with us as people as well as uh giving us a really thoughtful question here

baby when we grinding I just can't deny it that song makes me think of

uh my parents wedding let's go

and I did not know what that song meant until I was a lot older and I was like "Oh

that is a very horny song if I ever get married we're going to play stroken the entire time that's

right followed by Bustin and if you don't know Bustin just Google Bustin all right flev Doran

because we got to wrap up pretty quick uh Coco is the best Pixar film there I've said it coco

is one of only two films I've convinced my mother to go to the cinema with me to see and although

the theme of the film didn't hit personally it was still a memorable experience for how great

this film was well yeah and I mean too you know if you're even again if it's not exactly you know

your familiar culture or tradition I think that there's just so much beautiful craftsmanship on

display with this film that yeah you you couldn't not get something out of it um let's see let's see

do we have any more i think that does it for the patron questions today thank you guys for being

thoughtful and for jumping in uh you know this this was really lovely and I I think you know we

said like we caught this when it first came out and this was like a fresh viewing experience

and and yeah the animation gorgeous the textures beautiful i thought the story flowed really well

the twists and turns of the plot I thought were really great the whole twist with Dea

Cruz and also Hector being his actual great great-grandfather um and just the way they

personify the family and you know the the lessons that are learned and the eb and flow and the whole

back and forth of like I give you my blessing but I only give it to you this way well I'm going to

give it to you a certain different way and then finally ending up on I give you my blessing no

conditions unconditional love just get back there that's what matters you know you have

the gift of life live it to the fullest be with your family and like the whole resolution with

Coco I thought was gorgeous like you said like it had a certain amount of like soap opera like

plotting at times in the exact right way and just all the fun in games of like how they design the

world how they use the lore and then take you into this world of the dead and him doing the

Back to the Future fade and all that stuff as he attempts to get this blessing and and again

like even when Ernesto is like about to give him the blessing the thing doesn't light up i

noticed it's like little details and and there are tons of like important little details but

also other just beautiful artistic details in terms of where all these different skull images

are like this is a movie you could I bet scrub and just find endless things to appreciate so

Rock Stars Coco video exactly so yeah just as

a feat of animation as a feat of rousing you know human storytelling as a representation

of a cultural ritual and you know celebration and ceremony i just thought this was terrific

it was beautiful no I I And the voice cast like excellent voice cast

top-notch voice cast enjoyed it from top to bottom enjoyed the heart enjoyed the culture enjoyed

Zim music and yeah I I make go call my mom sure and have have many memories shared of

uh previous generations my grandpa and her grandma and my dad and the same i

just want to remember everybody and everything um I want to rewatch this after Halloween every year

that would be lovely make this a November watch

yeah totally nightmare Before Christmas okay real quick before we head out you

want to guess Rotten Tomatoes let's do it oh god this had to

have been high man this had to have been like a 96% for for critics or audience

audiences 99 you're very close 97 for critics and 94 for audiences

okay sure i I I would have almost thought that that you know I thought we could get close but

hey anywhere in the 90s I think for this is is pretty nicely you can't scoff at that you know

cannot and I mean I'm I would be curious to hear what some people who didn't care

for this think of it because I mean I thought this was really beautiful and

especially this time like this really sang um who would not care for Coco this is a great

heartfelt film maybe people that don't believe in music maybe they hate music

this is funny uh Miguel just a little piece of trivia was originally only going to play

the guitar and not sing when director Lee Unkitch discovered Anthony Gonzalez was in fact a talented

singer it was decided Miguel would do both so Anthony could share this talent in the film that

ising freaking cool uh and this also spent more days at number one in the box office than any

other animated film of the 21st century wow

yeah um Coco okay and

uh oh this would apparently be banned in China but Oh this film contains specific themes and

content which would be ordinarily be banned in China reportedly the Chinese sensor board

members were so touched by the film they made an exception and allowed it that is freaking crazy

um during one visit uh one of the visits to an to a Wakan family in Mexico for inspiration director

Leon paid particular attention to a traditional ofrena that holds pictures of the dead and is also

used to offer food during di de muertos he noticed the family basset hound had to be repeatedly

chased away from the friend because it tried to eat the food he found this so amusing that he

included in the scene uh in the movie where Miguel is horrified that Dante is eating the food um

apparently there was a John Ratzenberger cameo in here I did not catch uh and I guess they were

considering Alfred Molina at one point really um yeah uh at least according to this

uh Oh oh no never mind i take it back adrien Molina is the co-director my bad

um but yeah golly this was terrific gang gang let us know your thoughts on this movie uh I

loved watching this again for the first time it felt like and uh yeah man I'm going to be

reflecting it was very cathartic this movie like those those this really moved me this

time especially so uh yeah I couldn't I don't have enough words for how much I enjoyed this

aaron thank you for sharing this with me thank you for sharing it with me and yeah

I had a great time and thank you guys for watching and we'll see you guys in

the next one it's been great absolutely and hey remember me or else I'm gonna get un poco loco
