Welcome to English @ the Movies where you learn American English heard at the movies.
Sonic the Hedgehog is an action-adventure movie based on the video game series of the same name. It is about Sonic, who has the ability to run at supersonic speed. To find his lost magical rings and escape the dangerous scientist Dr. Robotnik, he teams up with Tom.
Listen for the words “bucket list.”
I’ve never sat in a barstool before -- so squishy. Oh, look at this, it spins. Whoa, whoa, whoa, ha-ha-ha, I feel sick!
You having fun? You’re going to check this off the old bucket list, huh? Big night for you! What’s a bucket list?
What do you think a “bucket list” is?
A) A list of successful things you have done
Or
B) A list of things you want to do or
places you want to go before you die
Listen again.
The answer is B. Listen as Tom explains the meaning to Sonic.
“Bucket list” is, um, it’s a list of things you want to do in your life before you, well, “kick the bucket.”
“Kick the bucket” is an expression that means to die.
Sonic immediately starts making a list and doing some of the things he has always wanted to do.
And that’s English @ the Movies.
