Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to movie Crush. The Mini crush A
Speaker 1: dish with knol whatever on my left. Kidding, I just kidding.
Speaker 1: I could never be mad at each chuck whatever Chuck. Now,
Speaker 1: we'd work it out. Yeah, we'd hug it out. Duke
Speaker 1: get out and then hug it out. We'd hug it
Speaker 1: out over some beer and Pott brownies. You keep saying
Speaker 1: that it still hasn't happened yet. I don't like alcohol
Speaker 1: with sweets unless it's like wine and chocolate. You know.
Speaker 1: I saw the other day it was a van outside
Speaker 1: of Whole Foods and it was alcohol infused sweets, and
Speaker 1: my kid looked at it and said, that's weird. Who
Speaker 1: would want that? And I said, I agree, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not into it. Like, like I said, some red wine
Speaker 1: and chocolate is perfect together. But anytime I'm like at
Speaker 1: a birthday party and I see someone eating cake and
Speaker 1: drinking beer, it just is so gross to me. Right,
Speaker 1: beer and cake? Do you like like chocolate stouts or
Speaker 1: any kind of fruity beer? I mean, I like the
Speaker 1: occasional of hint of fruit in an I p a. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what about a sour you like a tart sour bear?
Speaker 1: Not not a sour guy. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: like it. People like sours. I don't get it. I
Speaker 1: know it tastes like spoiled beer to me. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: where you're wrong, Chuck, taste like the fruit of the gods.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna get going. Everyone with a social
Speaker 1: studies query. I threw out social studies movie, very simple one.
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite director, all time favorite director? And we
Speaker 1: heard from everyone. I might have to follow this up
Speaker 1: with the part two because I'd really like to get
Speaker 1: to all these My good old bud Joe Garden Um,
Speaker 1: he's active on the page, which makes me super happy.
Speaker 1: Joe was a writer for The Onion for many years
Speaker 1: and hung out with Joe sim in New York. And
Speaker 1: he's just a great, great dude who is one of
Speaker 1: a kind. They broke them old, Joe garden says. I'd
Speaker 1: say the directors who have proven they have a unique vision, uh,
Speaker 1: and I want to follow would be the Cohen Brothers
Speaker 1: and David Cronenberg. But George Miller has made some of
Speaker 1: my favorite movies Road Warrior, Mad Max, Fury Road and
Speaker 1: Babe Pig in the City. And I'm always curious to
Speaker 1: see what he does next, Joe, great answer, David Cronenberg, Man,
Speaker 1: what a what a filmmaker he is? I like these
Speaker 1: all over the place too, Like he's got these body
Speaker 1: horror pictures and I want him like an old man
Speaker 1: from the twenties, call him pictures chopping on a cigar.
Speaker 1: And then he's got like these epic like crime movies
Speaker 1: like Eastern Promises. So he's he's got a really really
Speaker 1: broad ubra. Yeah, but boy, when David Cronenberg goes into
Speaker 1: just full funked up Cronenberg mode, I'm always interested in
Speaker 1: that even a weird movie like exists Ends. Did you
Speaker 1: ever see that? That literally is the one that just
Speaker 1: popped into my head because it's sort of like a
Speaker 1: like a spiritual successor to Naked Lunch. It's got a
Speaker 1: lot of the same weird little nipples things and weird
Speaker 1: rubbery penises. I don't know, it's it's it's good. I
Speaker 1: love it. David Frey says Wes Anderson probably most consistency
Speaker 1: when it comes to movies. I like, good answer any
Speaker 1: bellio uh BeO leo preaching from my home province. Dennis Villeneul,
Speaker 1: He's he's the stuff. She loved Arrival. Um, I'm with
Speaker 1: you there, man. He's great. He's doing the New Dune
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna make like two movies out
Speaker 1: of the first book, which is which is huge. I
Speaker 1: saw that looks good. Jane Savage toss up between Guillermo
Speaker 1: del Toro and Kevin Smith. There's a range between those two,
Speaker 1: but that's what Jane likes. Megan Johnson Frucci says, I
Speaker 1: don't care about his inconsistencies or smaltiness. I'm going with Spielberg.
Speaker 1: His films have a grandness and Hark can do the
Speaker 1: early days of cinema in which going to the theater
Speaker 1: was an event. I tried watching Ready Player one the
Speaker 1: other night. I didn't like it. I wanted to like it,
Speaker 1: and I liked it it first because it seemed fun,
Speaker 1: you know, but then it got like really snoozy, pretty
Speaker 1: click it was just okay, And I didn't like the
Speaker 1: fact that it looked like Avatar, like it just stayed
Speaker 1: in the c G I world. That that bugged me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't love it. Dan still Hard to Browdy says
Speaker 1: close call between the Cohen Brothers and Edgar Wright, both
Speaker 1: very detail oriented, have unique visions and do great things
Speaker 1: with music in their films. But I've had to choose
Speaker 1: just one. Maybe Edgar Wright, because I like his movies more,
Speaker 1: wasn't the Cohen brothers. Hey, Edgar right, he's putting on
Speaker 1: a good movies. Oh no, he's great. He's great. But
Speaker 1: it called me in fifteen years. The Cohens are just
Speaker 1: just cannon man, They're just I agree Rick Broider pound
Speaker 1: for pound. I think Spielberg, Uh, he's had his misfire,
Speaker 1: but a few directors capture movie magic the way he does.
Speaker 1: Rob Johnston Robert to Be says, I wish I could
Speaker 1: say something more high falutin, but I gotta go with Tarantino,
Speaker 1: or maybe let's be honest. Kevin Smith up through and
Speaker 1: including Red State. Red State was interesting. I didn't see it.
Speaker 1: It was okay. Danielle Ferlito, says Dennis Villeneu again, Um
Speaker 1: Enemy Arrival, Blade Runner great, so good. Jessica Foley not
Speaker 1: super hip on directors other than the big names. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with John Hughes because I love those
Speaker 1: old teenage angst movies. Yeah, Rebecca Nunn, I'm not ashamed
Speaker 1: to say, Wes Anderson, you should not be ashamed. He's great.
Speaker 1: I still never saw I love Dogs. It's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really really really pretty. Don't have as much time. No, Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, dude, you know, I know, I know. I
Speaker 1: just went and saw the new Mission Impossible. So if
Speaker 1: you're into that, Sarah let her running, We'll crush Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise is one of the best runners. Yeah, let's crush
Speaker 1: that one out. Judge it, judge it, and crush it
Speaker 1: will Thomas, says Spielberg. Ron Howard Francis Ford Coppola. But
Speaker 1: lately Scott Cooper, who directed the movie that Chuck like
Speaker 1: called Hostiles. He also did Black Mass, Out of the
Speaker 1: Furnace and Crazy Heart. Oh wow, those are all really good.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was the same guy. Yeah, good movies.
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, Jenny, and toss up between Christopher
Speaker 1: Nolan and Dennis Villeneux. All right, Interstellar and Arrival are
Speaker 1: two the best sci fi movies in recent years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Interstellar I had problems with I had big problems with it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh Kayla mh. She's always on. I normally don't pay
Speaker 1: attention to directors, but looking back, consistently, like Chris Nolan
Speaker 1: and J. J. Abrams. Will Burke directs her isn't something
Speaker 1: I always consider when I think of favorite movies. But
Speaker 1: John Hughes from Will Burke Jack Hale's says, hard to
Speaker 1: say of all time, I mean gonna go with Edgar
Speaker 1: Wright as a really creative director. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see more from him. Brett Giles, Christopher Nolan, Memento, Insomnia, Inception,
Speaker 1: movies like that. Aaron Lee. Aaron at Lee says Wes Anderson.
Speaker 1: Dave Naga Kawa says Kevin Smith, Well, he's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of love here. What do you think of Kevin Smith?
Speaker 1: I think Clerks is great. I think Chasing Amy's okay,
Speaker 1: all right. I think Mall Rats is fun. Yeah, Clerks
Speaker 1: is great though. Yeah. Uh. Peter Kimmler says, I can't
Speaker 1: go wrong with the Legend Steven Spielberg. He's getting a
Speaker 1: lot of love here too. Uh. Bo D Stuckey says
Speaker 1: the directing duo Powell and press Burger. They made some
Speaker 1: of the most arresting and unique films in cinema history.
Speaker 1: The Red Shoes, Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus,
Speaker 1: bizarre British films that had a massive influence on Scorsese,
Speaker 1: plain countless ellers. Well, bo, I don't know about these movies,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have some homework to do. I've heard
Speaker 1: of I've heard of red Shoes. Yeah, I'm sure probably
Speaker 1: our buddy Casey Pegram would be all over it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Casey's probably has a Powell in Pressburger tattoo. Yea at
Speaker 1: the very least blu ray copies of all of the films,
Speaker 1: the aforementioned films. You should get Casey in here too.
Speaker 1: Yeah for an interview, say why not do it? We
Speaker 1: went saw eight and a half, the Fellini film. It
Speaker 1: was It was really good. I like the sequel nine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: classic classic joke too, is it? I'm sure it's been
Speaker 1: made many many times. Emily Bauer Richard link Ladder. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, Emily. I've shown my love
Speaker 1: for that man on this show for sure. Let's get
Speaker 1: to a couple of more and you know what, we
Speaker 1: are going to continue this one because I feel like
Speaker 1: everyone should get hurt, so we might do this one
Speaker 1: a couple of more times. Abby's echoes, Uh, pretty big,
Speaker 1: Darren Aronofsky Fans movies are so well done and subtly
Speaker 1: off putting he's a master at his craft. I agree
Speaker 1: with you, Abby, he knows how to push the buttons
Speaker 1: of an audience and that is tough to to learn.
Speaker 1: You gotta be good at that. Uh mayka, I'm sorry. MARKA.
Speaker 1: Salo says Tarantino, no doubt, and Giammo del Toro also
Speaker 1: had some brilliant movies. J. J. Arbino, Tim Burton or
Speaker 1: Terry Gilliam Scott Murby says Xavier Dolan, French independent film director.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'll have to check that out, and let's
Speaker 1: go with one more. A. J. Middle Stett says Cohen's
Speaker 1: for sure. Being from Minnesota, I'm proud to have to
Speaker 1: of Hollywood's best represent our state. All Right, that's social
Speaker 1: studies best or favorite all time director. And I am
Speaker 1: definitely going to continue with that thread on future shows
Speaker 1: because that's a good one. I think we're gonna move
Speaker 1: on to the whole truth. This is when I put
Speaker 1: out some poles on Facebook and then we talk about them,
Speaker 1: and uh, I put these out this morning, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start doing these more in advance. But I'm a
Speaker 1: busy dude, and I am really sorry that these don't
Speaker 1: get more. You don't get more of a heads up
Speaker 1: on these everybody, and big thanks to the Movie Crushers
Speaker 1: page who always alert people that that these polls and
Speaker 1: things are up. So thanks as always to the Movie
Speaker 1: Crushers for being the super super fans. Super cool. They
Speaker 1: are super cool, all right, pull time, I'll go in
Speaker 1: reverse order here preferred movie watching DVD, Blu Ray or streaming,
Speaker 1: And out of five and thirty four votes, we got
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy nine for DVD Blu Ray and
Speaker 1: three and fifty five for streaming, so about double the
Speaker 1: number for streaming, but pretty good representation there for DVD
Speaker 1: Blue Ray. Not bad. It's im curist out there, good stuff.
Speaker 1: The next poll remakes, and the two options you got
Speaker 1: were yeah they can be okay or no never. And
Speaker 1: I know this is broad and you will not be
Speaker 1: satisfied with only those two answers, but we got four
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy people said yeah they can be okay
Speaker 1: and a hundred and thirty nine people said no never.
Speaker 1: M and I'm I'm sort of a yeah they can
Speaker 1: be okay. Um, generally, I think come on, be a
Speaker 1: little more creative and get out there and make new movies.
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of movies that are remakes
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't even know are remakes
Speaker 1: that are great, great movies. So I'm definitely going with yeah, um,
Speaker 1: they can be Okay, what's a good remake for you?
Speaker 1: Chuck a good remake? I loved The Departed. The Scorsese
Speaker 1: movie was a remake of an uh I think maybe
Speaker 1: a Japanese film. Is it a John wu film? John?
Speaker 1: But it was older, right, not even that older. I
Speaker 1: think the movie is called Infernal Affairs, and it was
Speaker 1: one of those remade not too long after for an
Speaker 1: American audience. Interesting, But I love The Departed. So that's
Speaker 1: where I think remakes can be really good. But then
Speaker 1: it's weird though, because you have sometimes you have these
Speaker 1: Prestis drectors that do these remakes that are just utter
Speaker 1: a horse ship, like what's his name? Who did the
Speaker 1: Psycho remake? Fu? That movie remakes? Who cares what? He
Speaker 1: just go masturbate and come on man, terrible awful, And
Speaker 1: and then the Old Boy remake from Spike Lee did
Speaker 1: not see that. I did not either, but I did
Speaker 1: not need to because Old Boy is a perfect film
Speaker 1: and it's just like why why bother. Why do that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's the shot for shot remake of Psycho. The only
Speaker 1: thing I want to say about this is I thought
Speaker 1: it was an interesting experiment, an interesting filmmaking experiment to
Speaker 1: do a shot for shot remake of a classic like that.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was I would have rather seen
Speaker 1: an experimental shot for shot remake of Psycho than just like,
Speaker 1: here's our modern take on Psycho, uh, with C g
Speaker 1: I and ramping up the horror. So I'll give that
Speaker 1: one a pass, but I get it. I still think
Speaker 1: it's kind of masturbatory. I'm with you, but you're talking
Speaker 1: about masturbation like it's a bad thing that from No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm saying they're no. I'm saying it's a better way
Speaker 1: of using your time. The next poll funnier movie, and
Speaker 1: I just gave two choices. These movies are often lumped
Speaker 1: together as the male female versions of the same thing,
Speaker 1: The Hangover or Bride'smaids. Very evenly split here, folks. Two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two people said the Hangover, two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty three people said Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids wins out by
Speaker 1: a narrow margin. Uh, I don't I would have to
Speaker 1: flip a coin, man, I think both of these movies
Speaker 1: were really funny. Well, surely that poll is just half
Speaker 1: entirely men, half entirely female. I mean, that's obviously what's
Speaker 1: going on. Might have to give the edge to Bride'smaids
Speaker 1: because totally joking, I agree Bridesmaids is. I know, I
Speaker 1: think brides Maids is a smarter movie. There were a
Speaker 1: couple of moments in that from Kristen Wig that just
Speaker 1: like have me doubled over laughing every single time I
Speaker 1: see it. Um, But I did really think the first
Speaker 1: Hangover was pretty good, and I think maybe I'm suffering
Speaker 1: a little bit from hangover hangover with those two bad sequels,
Speaker 1: whereas Bride'smaids was smart enough just to do one movie
Speaker 1: so far. I'm sure there's a remake in the work, though,
Speaker 1: because it's a cash cow, I think you would have
Speaker 1: seen it by now, though you would think so too.
Speaker 1: But truly, one of those other ladies will get married,
Speaker 1: Melissa Carthy will be the bride and the next one, right,
Speaker 1: that's true, I guess. I guess sometimes you get the
Speaker 1: the the immediate sequel, and then sometimes you got the
Speaker 1: delayed reaction sequel, like the sequel that no one wanted,
Speaker 1: or the sequel Bridget Jones movie that sometimes it's the
Speaker 1: sequel that it takes a little time for the public
Speaker 1: to be like, we we insist upon this sequel. Good point.
Speaker 1: Good point. I'm trying to get Melissa McCarthy on the show, everybody.
Speaker 1: She's in Atlanta, and I adore her, so tweet at her,
Speaker 1: told her to come on the show. All right, let
Speaker 1: me see. I think we've got two more polls, or
Speaker 1: maybe more boxing movie cage match, Rocky or Raging Bull.
Speaker 1: Only two votes here. Two one people said Rocky and
Speaker 1: seventy eight for Raging Bull. Oh boy, that's a little surprising.
Speaker 1: I thought it might be a little more even than that.
Speaker 1: Rocky is a great movie, though they're both really good.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Who is scarier Jason Vorhees or
Speaker 1: Michael Myers? Who do you? Who do you think scarier?
Speaker 1: I don't not talking about better movies. Which character is
Speaker 1: scarier to you? Who would you least like to be
Speaker 1: chased by? Well? I think we were talking in the
Speaker 1: last episode about how Michael Myers has mystical powers of
Speaker 1: slow walking, but so does Jason, I guess I don't
Speaker 1: remember him running around a lot. No, he's a little numbers.
Speaker 1: I didn't see a ton of those movies. They're kind
Speaker 1: of lumbering. I don't know. I think that, I think
Speaker 1: that Michael Myers, I don't know. It's tough. Well, Jason
Speaker 1: vorhees uh did not get as many votes now he
Speaker 1: got a hundred and forty three votes to Michael Myers
Speaker 1: to sixty four. Okay, I'm gonna retroactively go with the
Speaker 1: group one. Michael Myers is that's a pretty scary character.
Speaker 1: And Michael Myers is just a really I mean, the
Speaker 1: hockey mask is one thing, but man mask that Michael
Speaker 1: Myer's mask, is any anything scarier? You know what that is? Right,
Speaker 1: William Shatner? Right, and i'd heard that. Man, if you
Speaker 1: look at it up close, it makes sense. Just but
Speaker 1: it was tweaked, William Shatner. Man the art department took
Speaker 1: and then they made it white. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not flesh flesh colored. William Shatner. He probably wants some
Speaker 1: money for that. Did you see him arguing with people
Speaker 1: on Twitter about autographs? And he's a nightmare. Now, He's
Speaker 1: basically like listen. Uh, don't don't bug me for an
Speaker 1: autograph ever, Like I don't give him. I don't do pictures.
Speaker 1: If you want it, come and see me at these
Speaker 1: events where I make money off of doing this. And
Speaker 1: he said, I'm with my grandkids. I've got not much time,
Speaker 1: Like I'm out with my family, Like, please just leave
Speaker 1: me alone with the autographs. And people got all on them.
Speaker 1: But I was like, Uh, that's William Shatner's life. People
Speaker 1: leave him alone if he wants to be left alone.
Speaker 1: Was up in the Hollywood Hills for the cartoon podcast
Speaker 1: I do with Holly Fry for history classes. We're hanging
Speaker 1: out with this Disney animator legend guy and he was like,
Speaker 1: and over there he's William shat this house. Leave him alone,
Speaker 1: Leave him alone. Uh do you stay through the credits
Speaker 1: most of the time? Are almost never? And wow, this
Speaker 1: is more even than I thought. Three thirty seven stay
Speaker 1: most of the time, three nine almost never. There should
Speaker 1: have been a third category. That's only if it's a
Speaker 1: Marvel movie. Yeah, of course, and you're guaranteed that post criticye.
Speaker 1: But even I sometimes forget to stay for those as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, one last poll, everybody uh, and I'm and
Speaker 1: I tease this out in the last episode, better decade
Speaker 1: for movies seventies or eighties, And out of nearly five
Speaker 1: hundred votes, a hundred and fifteen people said the seventies
Speaker 1: and three hundred and seventy nine and the eighties. Interesting result. Indeed,
Speaker 1: eighties wins out. I've said it before. Just go look at, like,
Speaker 1: get on your computer and type in the movies of
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three with the movies of nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: and just look at the quality films that were being
Speaker 1: pumped out every week. And it's really pretty remarkable. Uh.
Speaker 1: This was long before the days of reboots and remakes
Speaker 1: and comic book movies and sequels. I mean they had sequels,
Speaker 1: but not like now. And it's just amazing the quality
Speaker 1: films that were coming out on a regular basis. Your
Speaker 1: favorite canine sidekick Kujo came out that year. Good one, Noel.
Speaker 1: All Right, what else do we have here? We're gonna
Speaker 1: finish up with stream this and then Comic Card. I've
Speaker 1: been watching Sharp Objects on HBO. Have you seen it?
Speaker 1: I watched the first one. I liked it. I was intrigued. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this is the show. Um, I believe from the
Speaker 1: writer of Gone Girl. Yeah, it was Jillian Flynn, and
Speaker 1: it very much has that vibe. Uh. If you like
Speaker 1: Gone Girl, which I did, I thought it was good.
Speaker 1: I read the book too, and stars Amy Adams and
Speaker 1: it is oh and well. It starts the great Patricia Clarkson, um,
Speaker 1: who long long been a fan of. She's wonderful and
Speaker 1: everything she's in and she is uh. Patricia Clarkson is
Speaker 1: so good at playing like the sweetest uh sweetest sweetest
Speaker 1: person in the world, or like the scariest, most reprehensible
Speaker 1: lady you could ever want to meet, and in this
Speaker 1: case she's playing a bad lady. But also stars Sophia
Speaker 1: Lillis from it and Eliza Scanlin someone I haven't heard
Speaker 1: of but she's really great in it, Chris Messina, Elizabeth Perkins,
Speaker 1: Matt Craven, a really great, great cast of side characters.
Speaker 1: But this show is all about Amy Adams. She has
Speaker 1: really become this character to me and his just uh.
Speaker 1: She is an alcoholic, functioning alcoholic, has a lot of
Speaker 1: problems from her past that are teased out as the
Speaker 1: show goes on through flashback. She's a reporter. Yeah, with
Speaker 1: Sophia Lillis as her as the young heir, which is
Speaker 1: great casting. That's the girl from it. Yeah, she looks
Speaker 1: like a young Amy's fantastic and um, it's just a
Speaker 1: really it's a show filled with unease as the story unfolds,
Speaker 1: Um as a reporter going back to her town to
Speaker 1: investigate these murders of young girls. A lot of good
Speaker 1: cross cutting between the present and the past keeps you
Speaker 1: kind of in the dark about who knows what, when
Speaker 1: where very much. I did see a funny headline that says,
Speaker 1: Amy Adams in Sharp Objects is the world's shittiest reporter,
Speaker 1: never takes notes. Well, it's all about her head. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's like the jay Z of crime reporting. Yes, she's
Speaker 1: not to give me any notes, that's for sure. But uh.
Speaker 1: One of the things I love about it is its
Speaker 1: use of music, and led Zeppelin features very prominently. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much money they're paying led Zeppelin, but
Speaker 1: she listens to led Zeppelin constantly in this movie and
Speaker 1: or in the show, and they've used probably I've watched
Speaker 1: up to date, so I've seen the first four or five.
Speaker 1: I feel like they've played fifteen led Zeppelin songs so far.
Speaker 1: Just can't be cheap, no way, but it's HBO. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got deep pockets, that's true. But you don't think
Speaker 1: there's some like savvy you know, penny pension producer being like,
Speaker 1: can you guys use like moby grape instead or something?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, well, what they may have done
Speaker 1: was gotten some kind of discounted deal, like like a
Speaker 1: bulk deal. Yeah. And the fact that they're featuring led
Speaker 1: Zeppelin prominently, like it's not just happenstance, like led Zeppelin
Speaker 1: is a through line through this show, and so they
Speaker 1: may have said, hey, listen, it's prominent. It's you're gonna
Speaker 1: be featured a lot, so maybe give us a deal
Speaker 1: on like your catalog would be my guess. It's probably
Speaker 1: how they did it. But good show. Um, can't wait
Speaker 1: to see where it goes. It's a limited run. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's kind of thing that's gonna have a
Speaker 1: season two. Um, but just really quality stuff out of HBO.
Speaker 1: Highly recommended so far, and nold. We're gonna finish up
Speaker 1: with Comic Card. We don't have much time here, so
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through these five pretty quickly. Um. Kayla
Speaker 1: mh She's always on the board. What's your favorite movie
Speaker 1: from your least favorite genre? Good question, what's your least
Speaker 1: favorite genre? No, I think we've talked about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we both go with rom com
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of rom coms. Are take them
Speaker 1: or leave them? Yeah, I'm generally not a fan. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say my favorite rom rom com is is
Speaker 1: probably When Harry met Sally. Yeah, do you mean when
Speaker 1: Harry met Potter? We we did not work in a
Speaker 1: Harry Potter reff to the last episode. Well, we can
Speaker 1: go back and post. I like that. We already already
Speaker 1: have our running jokes and all. It's good stuff. It
Speaker 1: doesn't take long. Chad at Madison says, you're hosting a
Speaker 1: movie night for people of all ages, and you want
Speaker 1: to show a lesser known film. What's your pick for
Speaker 1: a great movie that kids will enjoy as well as adults.
Speaker 1: It isn't one of the obvious films the kids have
Speaker 1: seen a million times already. I just had something pop
Speaker 1: into my head. It's a movie from the nineteen eighties
Speaker 1: called My Bodyguard with Chris make Peace and Martin Maull
Speaker 1: and Ruth Gordon. I know we're rucording like from Haroln Maude. Yep,
Speaker 1: she plays his wacky grandmother. Um. It's a i would say,
Speaker 1: pretty little known film, but a really good movie in
Speaker 1: the eighties about a kid that's being bullied and the
Speaker 1: you know how every school has the one scary kid
Speaker 1: that was like he murdered somebody and he left, and
Speaker 1: how he's back, when in fact it's usually like the
Speaker 1: kid just transferred for a year and came back. That's
Speaker 1: the deal. This guy comes back, everyone's scared of him.
Speaker 1: And this young kid who's getting bullied by Matt Dylan
Speaker 1: and his gang, he hires this guy is his personal
Speaker 1: high school bodyguard and they form a friendship. It's very sweet,
Speaker 1: sweet good movie. I've been my kid. She she hasn't
Speaker 1: really taken to reading for fun. Um she's nine, but
Speaker 1: she reads great. But yesterday she's cool. She was here
Speaker 1: all fucking day. Um, but I mean I mean that
Speaker 1: as a testament to her patients and my shit and
Speaker 1: hittiness as a parent. But um, she started reading The
Speaker 1: Witches and rolled all books and now she loves reading.
Speaker 1: So The Witches I've forgotten how dark it is, how
Speaker 1: intense and kind of like creepy and the movie um
Speaker 1: doesn't pull on your punches either, with Angelica Houston as
Speaker 1: the Grand High Witch. And so that's a good one
Speaker 1: for kids. That's from the nineties, and it's got that
Speaker 1: kind of schlocky almost got like an evil Dead quality
Speaker 1: too with the goal, with the makeup effects and stuff.
Speaker 1: It's really really good record. That would be my pick.
Speaker 1: That's a great thing about reading, man, when you just
Speaker 1: got to find something your kid will like and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the world has opened up. It
Speaker 1: was rolled all for me to actually, now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, and I really loved all those James
Speaker 1: the Willy Wonka books and James and Giant Peach and
Speaker 1: all that stuff I read. I read those ravenously. Have
Speaker 1: you ever read any of his more body adult books.
Speaker 1: I have not, but we did do an episode of
Speaker 1: Ridiculous History about how he was basically the archetype for
Speaker 1: James Bond is a super spy slash badass fighter pilot
Speaker 1: and new Ian Fleming I r L and Ian Fleming
Speaker 1: kind of probably based James Bond on Roll Doll. That
Speaker 1: pretty cool story, alright. A couple of more. Nick Kelly says,
Speaker 1: do you ever listen to soundtracks just to get yourself
Speaker 1: in the headspace of a movie where you like the tone,
Speaker 1: like if you're melanchol Uh, you listen to Lost in Translation, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sort of, And you know that's a good example. I
Speaker 1: listened to that soundtrack. It's a great soundtrack when I'm
Speaker 1: in a mellow mood. I don't know about melancholy, but sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got a melancholy kind of like. Yeah, I picture.
Speaker 1: That's a good soundtrack that really does match up with
Speaker 1: the feel of the of the movie. That's got all
Speaker 1: those Kevin Shields tracks on it, like the Air. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually saw my Bloody Valentine over the weekend in Chicago.
Speaker 1: I told you it was absurdly loud. That's what I heard.
Speaker 1: It was punishingly loud. Their legendarily loud. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: gotta When I was in Chicago, I got a great
Speaker 1: soundtrack for a movie I've never heard of. Maybe you've
Speaker 1: heard of this, Chuck. It's called Foxes with a very
Speaker 1: young Jodie Foster. I guess I'm not sure what's about.
Speaker 1: But it's a Georgio Morodor soundtrack, who I love. You know,
Speaker 1: he did all the synthy stuff for like Donna Summer
Speaker 1: like I Feel Love and all that stuff and did
Speaker 1: Midnight Express And I'm a big fan of his soundtrack.
Speaker 1: So but I just like them cat people, cat people
Speaker 1: doing the room that he did. So I just get
Speaker 1: the soundtracks because I like listening to him nice good stuff,
Speaker 1: or any of any of what's his name's work? John Carpenter, Oh,
Speaker 1: for sure, he's one. He's one of your synth hero
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. Uh. And finally John Bick, not John Wick,
Speaker 1: but John Bick says, if you could embody the life
Speaker 1: of any actor during any role, what would that be?
Speaker 1: Like Paul Newman is Butch Cassidy h interesting? Does he
Speaker 1: mean to be that actor or to be that? To
Speaker 1: be Butch Cassidy thinks to embody the character? Right, embody
Speaker 1: the life of any actor during any role. Oh, you
Speaker 1: mean maybe like the period in that actor's life when
Speaker 1: they were playing that particular role, like Paul Newman in
Speaker 1: the era of Butch Cassidy. I guess that's tough. All right.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a couple of things. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say Burt Reynolds in his heyday, let's say during Uh,
Speaker 1: I you can go a little later than say, Cannonball
Speaker 1: Run Days, that'd be a lot of fun. And um, mean,
Speaker 1: is there anyone cooler than Steve McQueen in The Great Escape?
Speaker 1: That those would be my picks. Those are my off
Speaker 1: at the top of my head picks. So thank you,
Speaker 1: John Bick, Thank you everyone else to uh who posted
Speaker 1: your questions on Facebook? Who I just wanted to say,
Speaker 1: for a minute ago, I think you had a guy
Speaker 1: named Chad Madison, right, Yeah, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: I had it right. But if he was a friend
Speaker 1: of mine, I would make fun of him and I
Speaker 1: would call him mad Chadson. What did you get that?
Speaker 1: Just transposing the letters in his name, I had to
Speaker 1: make n We're friends Now? I like that? Ol, nice
Speaker 1: non sequitor. All right, everybody, your homework for this week
Speaker 1: is a Popeye, the Robert Altman movie. Mike Hollingsworth the
Speaker 1: an animator and you might know his work on the
Speaker 1: Great Great Netflix show bow Jack Horseman. Mike came in
Speaker 1: here and we talked about Popeye, a movie that he
Speaker 1: said he feels like was made expressly for him, and um,
Speaker 1: I had loved, loved, loved that movie as a kid.
Speaker 1: Good soundtrack on that one, to Harry Nilson. Have you
Speaker 1: listened to it? Is it not good? Well, it's weird
Speaker 1: the whole movie. As an adult seeing it, it was
Speaker 1: a weird experience because it is a strange movie. It
Speaker 1: is a strange soundtrack. The songs for a musical quote unquote,
Speaker 1: none of the songs are catchy or singabowl. They're all
Speaker 1: very downbeat and minor chords. And apparently Harry Nelson was
Speaker 1: just wrecked on alcohol and drugs. Well, there's that one
Speaker 1: song in it that's used in um Punch Drunk Love,
Speaker 1: So like, what is it? Team needs me, needs me?
Speaker 1: He needs me? Yeah, he needs me, he needs me,
Speaker 1: he needs olive oil singing that one I'm getting Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Shelley Duval. It's a weird movie and a very
Speaker 1: weird songs, and it was very cool seeing it as
Speaker 1: an adult from someone who was a kid just thought
Speaker 1: it was the greatest thing ever. And it's still great.
Speaker 1: It holds up, but it holds up in a in
Speaker 1: it's great in a different way to me. Did you say,
Speaker 1: Robert Altman, that's interesting for him to write, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a strange movie. Won if it was a
Speaker 1: passion project where he just always had a thing for Popeye. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we answer these questions in the episode. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear it. All right, everyone, thanks for listening,
