I am a mom and sister. I am in my forties. I have a son and a daughter. I own rental properties and maintain them myself. I am a fan of movies.
Speaker 1
I am a programmer. I used to live in Alaska. I like to run in my free time. I like to eat steak.
Speaker 2
I have kids. I like to watch movies. I don't exercise often. I am 40 years old. I have a sister.
Speaker 1
Hello. How are you?
Speaker 2
I am doing well. What have you been up to today?
Speaker 1
I've been at my desk this morning, working on programming.
Speaker 2
Neat. Have you been programming long?
Speaker 1
For a few years - since moving here from alaska.
Speaker 2
Sounds nice to have the freedom to move around like that.
Speaker 1
What do you do for fun?
Speaker 2
I mainly just watch movies with my kids.
Speaker 1
That sounds nice. I'm looking forward to going for a long run after work.
Speaker 2
Oh, sounds like you are a health nut!
Speaker 1
Not entirely. I will often follow a long run with a big steak!
Speaker 2
I am too old to be living that sort of life. Just turned 40!
Speaker 1
I don't think 40 is old.
Speaker 2
My sister tells me the same thing.

Speaker 1
So what kind of movies do you usually watch?
Speaker 2
Lots of different things. I used to teach Film Studies with a creative arts conservatory, so I chose what I watch carefully. I mostly follow the films of directors I like...
Speaker 1
Do you have any particular favorite genres?
Speaker 2
I like suspense films, action, SF, horror, westerns, drama, an occasional good comedy....
Speaker 1
That's cool! Do you like to watch any movies with your kids?
Speaker 2
When the kids were young, they got Disney and Pixar of course, but I also let them watch older films, like the screwball comedies from the '30s and '40s. They just love them. They also have a good idea about film history too, something most kids don't have these days....
Speaker 1
Oh that's wonderful that you can have a nice family activity together. Are you close with your sister?
Speaker 2
Not really. Once our parents passed away, we've grown apart. She's 10 years older than I am and isn't really all that interested in being an aunt to the kids.
Speaker 1
That's a shame..but sometimes two people are just too different. Is there anything you like to do for fun alone?
Speaker 2
Read, play music, watch movies. I like to hike too. It's really the only exercise I get.
Speaker 1
Cool, I used to also hike in my free time when I was living in Alaska.
Speaker 2
Alaska! I've always wanted to visit that state and spend some time in the wilderness there, but I'm a little concerned about the grizzly population.

Speaker 1
I treated myself to a nice steak dinner.
Speaker 2
That sounds great it's been so long since I had a steak dinner! What cut do you like to go for?
Speaker 1
I hadn't had it for ages either! My favorite cut is sirloin I think. What about you?
Speaker 2
I am a ribeye man myself. Medium rare! Do you like sauces?
Speaker 1
Good choice! I tend to go medium, only because some places make it way too rare otherwise! I like peppercorn sauce, what about you? I also thick cut chips on the side!
Speaker 2
Exactly! Peppercorns, chips. You and I have a lot in common. Ever tried wagyu?
Speaker 1
I haven't; would you recommend?
Speaker 2
I've only had it once before and it was lovely! But I'd really love to live the life of a top of the range wagyu cow!

Speaker 1
Settling down now and thinking of watching a movie.  I'm leaning towards Pulp Fiction, have you ever seen it?
Speaker 2
Oh yes. It's a classic. It has so many great actors and actresses. The whole movie is amazing. Have you seen it before?
Speaker 1
No, I haven't. I think Uma Thurman looks so exotic though.  It just sounds like a very unique kind of movie. I'm not sure why I've never watched it before.
Speaker 2
Wow! I don't want to make you feel too bad for not seeing it after all this time. But I must encourage you to go see it as soon as possible! I can't spoil it for you. You'll love it!
Speaker 1
Thank you!  With your background, I bet you have a lot of great suggestions for movies, some of them fairly off the beaten path. I'll have to rely upon you for suggestions I think! 
Speaker 2
If you want more suggestions, just let me know! Just tell me what kind of movie you're looking for and I'll give you suggestions!
Speaker 1
I like all types of movies really. It mostly depends on the mood I'm in at the time.  I'm almost always in the mood for a good comedy though!
Speaker 2
Well then you gotta check out Coming 2 America! It has Eddie Murphy in it. I'd recommend seeing the Coming to America first if you haven't seen it. But the second one was just released within the year and is very funny!
Speaker 1
I did see the first one and I loved it! I didn't realize there was a sequel! I definitely have to put that on my list!  
Speaker 2
I actually just watched I-SPY with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson from 2002, it's also hilarious and I recommend it.
Speaker 1
That would be a great team-up!  Eddie Murphy has teamed up so well with a lot of actors.  I had high hopes for the movie he was in with DeNiro, but I was disappointed.
Speaker 2
Are you talking about Showtime? I'm surprised. Eddie Murphy was a cop in Beverly Hills trilogy which was hilarious, and he's a cop in this film. How can it not be funny!?

I'm considering watching Pulp Fiction. I've never seen Pulp Fiction. I have eclectic taste in movies. I love comedies. I didn't know there was a sequel to Coming to America. I'm planning to watch Coming 2 America. I like Eddie Murphy. I was disappointed by his movie with Robert DiNero.

I recently watched and enjoyed I-SPY. I think Eddie Murphy is very funny.
Speaker 1
Okay, so, I watched Pulp Fiction, and I loved it! Thank you for the recommendation.
Speaker 2
Of course. I recommend that movie to everyone I meet. I think I've watched it over one hundred times. So what is the next movie on your list to watch soon?
Speaker 1
Yeah it was great and I will also recommend to people when they ask what movie is good. So next is another one you recommended which is coming to America. What’s the next movie your going to watch? 
Speaker 2
There is a horror genre movie that was released just this week which I'm going to watch tonight. It is called "Girl Next."
Speaker 1
Oh that sounds interesting, I will look into that and put it on my list. How has your job been going? Is there where you get all these great ideas for what to watch?  
Speaker 2
My Film Studies professor job has been going absolutely great lately. I love all my students, because they really get into the lectures and ask lots of questions. Yes, my job requires me to watch movies all the time, so that is how I find the best ones. Is your programmer job going all right lately?
Speaker 1
That sounds amazing. Super lucky to have students that really enjoy what they are learning about and I’m sure that’s down to the way you teach and what you teach them. I’m so glad it is all going well for you. Yeah it is going much better now, I’m really getting in the swing of things thank you for asking. 
Speaker 2
You're welcome. So, returning to the subject of Pulp Fiction, did you think it was funny? Did you think it was too violent for kids to watch?
Speaker 1
Yeah there was some funny parts in that movie. I kinda think it may be a little to violent for kids, but I would just allow it to each parent to decide I would probably let my grandkids watch. What is your opinion? 
Speaker 2
I agree with you. As long as the parent can explain what's going on regarding the violence, and make sure the kid knows it is just a movie and not real life, I think most kids would be able to watch the movie without really being harmed or negatively influenced.
Speaker 1
Yes exactly. I think all kids should learn that. I know my grandkids love to watch all genre’s of movies and I think kids should learn what they like to watch. 
Speaker 2
Yes. There comes a time in every kid's life when he will want to watch movies other than Bambi or Snow White, right?
