WEBVTT - Mini Crush #139 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.880 Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush. It's a Monday, 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.239 well not really, what day is it, nol. It's a 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.559 monday in our hearts. I don't know what day it is, Chuck. 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:39.880 Let me consult the computer real quick. It's a monday 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.080 in our hearts. It's a Wednesday in our pants pants. Yeah, 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.920 I don't know, man. I I'm so sick of the 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.040 whole cliche. Time is meaningless these days, but it still 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.159 kind of holds true. I mean, I've been leaving the 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.280 house a little. We actually radio to each other. I 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.480 r L the other day at the office, That's right. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.520 It was kind of cute. And then he posted a 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.920 picture and a lot of people weren't sure which of 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.080 us was which of us, which I thought was funny. 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.240 I love it. Man, throw a mask on us, and 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.800 we're basically the same human, We're basically the same someone. Literally, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.399 you have this cool new haircut, Chuck uh. And you 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.399 were standing under this dome light on the ceiling and 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.600 someone was like, it looks like Nole's hair is being 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.800 sucked up into the ceiling like a flow. Be corrected 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.320 that person and I was like, who cares? The flow 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.320 beat was much Uh. It was parodied beautifully in Wayne's World, 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.520 but they called it the suck cut that sucks as 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.319 it cuts, and then Wayne, it's sure does suck. Yeah. 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.679 We almost got a flow bee in college. It was 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.040 one of those, you know, very college things to do. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.839 Like we're up late at night, you know, doing god 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.400 knows what, and the flow Beat commercial comes on and 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.320 we're like, we totally need to get that and have 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.320 a floe Bee party cut everybody's hair. I don't know 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.640 why we didn't quite frankly, probably because we didn't have 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.920 to rub together you know. Hmm, how does one rub 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.520 nine together? Well, that's as you get a lot of 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.200 you get nineteen dollar bills? Okay, got it? Do this? 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.640 Used to rub them together until they catch on fire. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.560 What do you do with the change? Though? How do 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.560 you do? Do? You guess? You you just toss that 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.080 in the pile. You can rub those coins, You can 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.480 rub the coins. You ever heard of anybody that had 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.400 a condition where they're anti like metal? You don't like 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.080 touching things that are made of metal. It makes handling 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.040 change a living nightmare. No, but I could, I'm sure 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:34.320 that's a certain phobia. I guess my kid apparently has 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.560 a lot of not phobias, but just aversions to texture. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.680 She doesn't like the touch, the feel of cotton. It 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.880 is absolutely not the fabric of her life. Interesting, it 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.280 isn't that weird? Something about the strings and the way 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.480 it can kind of get stuck under your cuticles and 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.359 it freaks her out. Yeah, so clothing or like, what 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.560 are you talking about? I don't know, man, Like, she 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.799 could obviously wear fabric. She loves fabric. She's a big 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.120 fashion person. But for some reason, like when she she 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.040 doesn't like the way cotton like cotton balls, cotton swabs, 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.720 kind of that stuff where like it pulls off, you know, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.359 with a string. So she probably don't like cotton candy either. Huh. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:17.280 She does weirdly And now I don't kids, And she's 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.920 a very she's a strange one, man, but she's she's great. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.079 She's actually out in my uh in my house right 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.000 now watching her baby sister. Um I get to be 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.760 uncle Nol and she's her weird online school schedule gives 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:34.280 her Wednesdays as like a project and outdoor day. So 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.600 sometimes we have her sister come over and we hang 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.160 out together and do like little outdoor things while her 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.560 mom's working. Well that's fun. It's pretty cute. They buds 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.840 god ya, I mean she literally her sister calls her 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.120 mom when she's watching her like like like we to 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.800 exactly just like webs, but as a sign of respect. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.160 But this kid, man, I forget what kids are like. 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.640 I think she's three or pushing three, but she runs 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.360 around circles until she gets like worn out and then 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.480 just kind of like you know, Cox for a nap time. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.360 How does Ruby have that kind of energy? I saw 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.640 she was doing some exploring. The energy is boundless and 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.640 all it's it never stops. It's amazing. Like I have 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.760 talks with her sometime at bedtime and I'm like, you're 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.200 five years old, Like I'm ready to go to bed, 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.560 and you're five years old and you're still partying. It's 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.960 like it's gotta stop. It's gotta stop. Bedtime is not great. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.479 It's always She just doesn't want to miss anything like 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.480 that Aerosmith song. Yeah, man, I don't want to miss 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:37.000 a thing, sweet emotion, all that Janey's got a gun, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.200 looks like a lady. I don't know what any disregard 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.320 all of that. Um, what's been going on? Man? How's 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.599 uh the the audio book going for Stuff you know? 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.720 I gotta say, no, we just wrapped the audio book 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.599 of Stuff you Should Know, an incomplete compendium of mostly 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.120 interesting things. I've announced it on Stuff you Should Know, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.279 but just for the movie crushers benefit. Uh, it is 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:05.000 not twenty seven additional podcast episodes. Uh, it is. You 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.760 got to read the book, Like, you can't just go 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.000 in there and riff and do your thing. So we 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.599 decided it would be really weird to have Josh and 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.000 I like just swapping lines and just doing a read 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.640 like that would probably freak people out. So we took turns, 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.280 like I read my chapter as he read his, uh, 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.640 and I think we ended up reading like some sidebars 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.560 and bulleted lists on each other. So, and they're going 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.600 to kind of cut those together. But it's an audiobook read, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.520 you know, it's not it's not a ton of fun 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.200 to do. I think we did a good job, but 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.320 you know, I'm used to this kind of stuff totally. Yeah, 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:38.919 I was gonna ask what that's like for you. You're 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.720 not used to mean not that it's scripted. I mean 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.280 you obviously had a massive hand in writing the thing. 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.240 But you're still reading something that's pre written and that's 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.480 not typically your wheelhouse. What was that liked? He was 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.039 an adjustment that we haven't you directed to like added 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.040 out out of that go, yeah, there's a director. So 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.839 we we get on a zoom call, I hand the 0:05:56.880 --> 0:06:00.400 reins over and let some engineer in New York control 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.320 my computer. And then there's a director. And you know, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.000 he stayed out of our way. He was a good guy. 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.960 He's inn former. Well I guess he's still an actor 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.239 who his name is Fleet Cooper uh. In his claim 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.839 to fame, he said that he was in the movie 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.279 Sweet Home Alabama, and now he directs and and narrates 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.280 audiobooks and directs audio books. And he was kind enough 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.599 to kind of let us just do our thing. He 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.240 didn't step in too much, um and like actually direct us. 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.200 He was like, you guys know what you're doing. Just 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:29.880 get in there and try and be yourself and read. 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.960 And that's what we did, you know. Funny, funny, A 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.839 little little tidbit of trivia here. Sweet Home Alabama shot 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.839 in Georgia. It was wasn't it shot? It was shot 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.400 in um oh, what's it called Crawfordville. Yeah, which makes 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.919 sense because he's a Georgia guy, so he was cast locally. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.400 But he was a good dude, and uh, he made 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.520 it easy. Honest. I think I had a I was 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:54.960 a little nervous going in that we were going to 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.480 get some director in there that would like really try 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.440 and heavily direct us, and we would both have to 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.840 be like, hey, listen, dude, you know, back off and 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.039 just let us really gonna need you to take a take, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.839 take this down a peg. But he was cool. It 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:09.840 worked out, and I think it's gonna be good. I'm 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.200 looking forward to hearing, uh how they cut it together 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.080 and stuff. I am too. I gotta say, sort of related, 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.200 but not fully related. I really appreciate it, but was 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.040 also appalled by this massive thread on the movie Crusher's 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:28.240 page about how Noel needs to read more books. Dude. Yes, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.120 I mean it was a whole conversation you and I 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.800 had where I sort of copped to like not having 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:35.840 really been a you know, read a book in a 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.120 while now. I did not caveat that with I. I 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.120 listened to plenty of audio books, and I obviously read 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.320 a lot for work. My whole point in that story 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.280 was I think, you know, a lot of people these 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.480 days are suffering from like sort of a collective a 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.480 d D because everything is so like snack able in 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.600 terms of like articles and tweets and art collective. You know, 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.160 I think attention span has probably dwindled a bit over all. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.560 And I've heard this from a lot of other people, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.320 but um, I really appreciate it. But I was also like, 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.720 oh no, the movie crushers think I can't read, But 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.080 that's not what it was. It was some really nice recommendations. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.440 But um, everyone will be happy to know that I 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.520 have picked up a Clive Barker book called him Magica 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.960 that I've been starting. I started a while ago and 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.360 put it down. Been enjoying that. But I've also really 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.200 been enjoying the Charlie Kaufman audiobook of his new novel 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.200 uh Aunt Kind, which I highly recommend for movie fans 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.600 because there's all kinds of cool in jokes about movie criticism, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.160 and you know, the character that he portrays in the 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:40.280 in the book, his name is b Rosenberg Rosenberger, and 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.480 he's a film critic, and he makes it very clear 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.520 that he's not Jewish. He wants everyone to know that 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.840 Rosenberger isn't necessarily a Jewish name. Um, he's very hung 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.960 up on things like race and and odd character. But 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.360 he also hates Charlie Kaufman. He hates him with a 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.760 passion and trashes everything that he's ever done. Thing to do. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.880 It's a very ry common thing to do, but I've 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.160 I've been very much enjoying and I highly recommend folks 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.200 check it out. It it's a it's very something only 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.240 Kaufman could have done. Well. I'm certainly not gonna yuck 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.560 anyone's yum who has moved to the audiobook thing or 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:18.320 the kindle thing or e readers. Um, I'm personally enjoy 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:23.600 old school hardcover reading. But uh, you know, people should 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:29.040 ingest content however they fucking please agreed. Agreed. Yeah, at 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.640 the same time, people should also read hardcover books. Yeah, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.520 different muscle. I completely Well. One thing, one thing that's 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.960 very true about that is, um, you can't multitask while 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.680 you're reading a you know, an analog book, you know, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.800 and it just it just guides your attention more. It's 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.480 much more of a mindful activity where you have to 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.840 kind of shut out everything else and just focus on 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.360 the one thing, you know, audio books. I mean it's 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.320 true with e readers too, but audio books, it's so 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.080 easy to multitask and think that your attention is fully 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.320 in the book, and it's not most of the time. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:11.600 So I'm with you, Chuck, I'm totally with you. Yeah, alright, Noel, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.560 let's get going with some crushing. Uh. It's political season. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.080 I don't know if you're aware of that there's an 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:22.920 election looming. I was trying to pretend that that wasn't happening, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.560 but yes, there we're electing a president, Noel, Uh, in 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.880 the United States this November. We are either going to 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:35.120 have the same president that we've had for nine on 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.720 four years, or we are going to have a different president. Okay, Okay, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.160 tell me more. It's kind of a toss up at 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.679 this point. I'm very nervous. I'm not looking at polls. 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.080 I don't care what anyone says about who's supposed to 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.000 win or not win. Either way, it's already too close 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.679 for comfort. But this is election season, and so I 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.719 just very simply put up a post and said, what's 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.559 your favorite political movie? To see what the crushers thought. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.880 And we're gonna go ahead and start bottom up again 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:09.280 with t J. Danny new Pal. He says election, I 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.400 was gonna say the same thing. Yeah, yeah, class politics, 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:17.079 high school politics. But it's a microcosmic kind of satire 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.360 like it. You know, all of the same rules apply, 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.800 and you can apply this stuff to like big picture stuff, 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.880 and all of the in the sniping and nastiness and 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.040 trying to ruin people, it's all in there. It's such 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.880 a good, interesting movie, such a good movie. And from 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:34.080 the great Alexander Paine, who very sadly was under fire recently. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:35.760 Did you see all that with rose McAllen and the 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:41.600 accusation that she levied against him, No, just look it up. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.480 I don't want to get into it. I'm still waiting 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.680 through that in and trying to figure out what I 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.559 think about it all. H he has denied some charges 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.280 that she has levied against him, and uh, you know, 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.800 Emily and I were doing a along and drawn out 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.800 Alexander Paine series, so we kind of have to think 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.839 about how we want to handle that moving forward. But um, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.320 it's all out there on the internet for you to 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.320 read about people if you want to. I did not 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:11.840 realize Alexander Payne did election. Actually, yes, that's an early one. 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.720 That's interestingly. I think it was his second film. That's 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.320 right after Citizen Ruth. If I'm not mistaken now that 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.640 one I haven't even heard of. Oh boy, you should 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.200 check out Citizen Ruth. It's great, I will he It's 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.640 a satire on the abortion debate, starring Laura Dern and 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.040 many others. Really really good movie. Alright. Moving on from 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.720 bottom up, we have Steve send Zeck. Welcome to the show, 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.600 he says, Tanner. I don't know that movie, do you know, Tanner? No, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.000 I said, I wonder if it's like a person's name, 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.160 or if it's about somebody that like makes leather goods. 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:53.160 It's very funny at all, Tanner. It's a Swiss drama film. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:58.360 Oh gosh, nominated for for Best Foreign Language Film. It 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:03.240 looks must be it. Yeah. Yeah. Xavier Caller is the 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.520 autour's name. I call him such because he directed and 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.920 wrote it. Um and yeah, I don't know. And these 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.320 are all Swedish actors. Switch. The Swedish language film won 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:18.719 the Grand Special Prize at the five Carlove Very International 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.880 Film Festival, and it was nominated for Best Fore Language 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.000 Film at the fifty nine. Oh, this is from the 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:30.600 A the eighties. This is Swiss drop. Absolutely. David Roselle says, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.480 all the Presidents Men, of course, a classic, great, great, 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.720 great movie, one of the best. Josh Callaghan says Dune. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.600 Here's my deal with Done Noel. I know nothing about Dune. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.120 I never read it, never saw the Lynch version. I 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.720 don't know anything about it. I know they're sand worms. 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.559 I saw that new trailer. Yeah, my friend Stacy worked 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.800 on it. Oh cool, and said that Danivea. Lneux is 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.520 a wonderful, wonderful director to work for. It seems loveliest 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.960 in interviews he seems very warm and and and cool 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.760 and not like a awful tyrant. Yes he is not 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.800 an onset monster. Uh and the you know, I'm gonna 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.720 certainly see that movie just because I like him. But 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.600 I don't know nothing about that world, do you You know? 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:14.720 It's it's going back to my book reading attention spam. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.360 Tried to get through that book. But I gotta admit, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.680 I mean, it's a bit of a slog. It's got 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.960 a lot of It is very much a political book 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.840 because it's all about these like political sort of um 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.080 intersecting worlds. There's all of these different like echelons of 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.320 society and sort of like mystics and then these like 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.600 political leaders, and it very much is about the politics 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.360 of the world of Dune. Um. Dune is this desert 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.000 planet where it trades in this commodity called spice melange, 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:48.560 which is basically like heroin UM. So it's very much 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.080 sort of meant to be kind of like the Middle East, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.760 you know, with with opioids and like the Opium Wars 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.040 and all of that. Um. But it's also very much 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.760 a science fiction novel. And the a Lynch one is 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.920 they it's like they ran out of money. You can 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:04.640 kind of tell when the movie sort of goes off 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.960 the rails like it is as I believe it was 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.800 Dino de Laurentis that that produced it. He produced a 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.240 ton of stuff, but I believe it was literally a 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.320 matter of layup, we we ran the money. We gotta 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.360 kind of rush to the ending. But yeah, if anyone 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.840 can handle it's it's Villa. Know. The trailer looks amazing 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.040 and I'm fascinated by it, but had a hard time 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.760 getting into the book. All Right, well, I'm certainly gonna 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.880 watch it, and I will be turned onto that world. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:32.200 I can't wait. Uh, Colin Heffernan says The Distinguished Gentleman. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:37.440 I don't think I saw that. Uh Michael Ormond's Has 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.040 Frozen two? Yeah, I mean, hell, that was a great movie. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.280 I didn't see two. And there are a lot of 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.720 votes for election in here. I gotta say, Julie deut Meyer, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.560 Lauren Duke, Dave Lindquist, they're all thrown in on election. 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.200 Here's one that I did see, Jason Devonshire top Fan 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.160 in Old Palace as Vice. That Dick Cheney. When did 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.040 you see that with Christian May? Was that the same 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.480 director that did The Big Short? Is that right? Yeah? No, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.360 they looked like they did a good job with casting 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.320 though in the makeup and looked. I did not see it, 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.200 but I you know, it was good. It's worth watching. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.680 It wasn't great, but it was fine. It's so funny 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.080 that I'm sorry to backchecks ever so slightly. The Distinguished 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:27.000 Gentleman is an Eddie Murphy political comedy from ninety's. It 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:31.800 holds a rating on Rotten Tomatoes, not well regarded. I 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.720 think that was kind of one of his stinkers. But 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.880 you know, some people have different tastes than rotten tomatoes. Null. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.560 It's true, I know if you knew that, No, Dad, 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.000 I did. I did. My fellow Americans, Becca lou and 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.520 Jennifer Mudge old Pal the Mudge and Beccalu chime in 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.200 with my fellow Americans. I'm not sure I know that movie, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.560 Google and all these This isn't my genre either, like 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.640 I I. But it's also like typically, I think there's 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.640 movies that could be considered political that aren't overtly political, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.240 and and I maybe I'm more into those or satirical ones. 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.760 I'm not like you know, in the same way that 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:09.320 I'm not like going to seek out a biopic but 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.280 still might like a real good one. This is how 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.919 I feel about the genre of political thrillers. Well, for instance, 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.080 non Megan Carroll Old Friends says, uh, death of stalin 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.399 a movie I know you loved, loved it, loved it. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.080 That's a good point, because it's very much a satire 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.680 and obviously is about politics, but it's not. It handles 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.520 it in like a weird, slapstick interesting way that I appreciate. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.800 Now here's one I haven't seen, but I still do 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.359 want to check out. From Brian poudell uh IDEs of 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.639 March the Ryan Gosling movie. I did not see that, 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.239 but I really wanted to, because you know, I like 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.760 all things Gossling. You like the gaz love him. I 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:47.080 think he's a great actor. Have you ever seen Wag 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:50.639 the Dog? I have, and uh, in fact, that was 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:55.000 just mentioned on the page by Angela Backle. She says 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.600 Bulworth and Wag the Dog. I thought Wag the Dog 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.199 was okay. I didn't love it. It was not one 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.520 I ever wanted to rewatch pretty very long time, very 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:11.000 long time. Bulworth is Warren Beatty. H Okay, yeah it was. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.439 It was a movie of its time. Old friend and 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:19.480 top fan Karry o'nels's Primary Colors with John Travolta. I 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.120 kind of liked that movie. I remember when that came out. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.520 That was the Clinton movie. That's the Clinton movie. Yeah, 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.560 that's right, Napoleon Dynamite. This is from Ryan Murphy. Is 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.840 that about politics? You know my history? Well, there's there's 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.320 there's a school, there's a high school president election. That's right, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.960 vote Pedro vote for Pedro um. It's sort of a 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.480 little a minor part of the story. But I don't know. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.920 I support that House of Cards. We got a few 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.040 people charming in with that. Obviously not a movie. I 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.359 did not ever see it. Justin Wright chimes in with 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:54.080 that one, though I've heard it was really great. Um, 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.800 you know my deal, and I've talked about it before. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.200 I never I couldn't get over that that bad Southern 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.960 accent from ac So I just I just didn't do it. 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:03.560 I think we watched the pilot and I couldn't get 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.359 past it, especially because he's he's he talks, He's like 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.160 in every scene and he's like talking to the camera 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.760 on rodrissle new when there's like fog, hold on leg 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.880 on kind of voil. So I do love a barbecue real, 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.760 but that way it's real bad. I mean, there are 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:20.560 some redneck accents, but you and I are from I 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.560 mean you were raised in Georgia for the most part. Yeah, 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.159 but he's meant to be from somewhere real, alright, or 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.760 it comes from the land of gent trip of Kentucky. 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.160 You know, I don't know, it's real silly though I can't. 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.200 You're in the same same deal. You have a thing 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.920 with accents, though, don't you chuck. I feel like if 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.240 it pulls you out of it, you're kind of out. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:43.800 You know. It's really hard for me because then I'm 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.720 just thinking about that and then it pulls me out 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:49.640 of the story. That's true. Mark Jeremany also says House 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.240 of Cards a bunch of people did. Um, here's one 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:58.399 for you know. Alexandria Runyon top fan says Harry Potter 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.160 and The Order of the Phoenix. You know how much 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.280 I love Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Uh, 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.880 top top political thriller. You know, there's because I mean 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.880 that Order of the Phoenix is just wielding so much 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.760 power in the Potter verse, and Harry's got to do 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.440 something about it. He's got to shut it down. He's gotta. 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.200 I'm kiddy, I don't have no idea what that movie 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:26.320 is about. The first one, no, no, that was No, 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:31.000 that was the Chamber of of of Secrets. No, that 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.360 was the second one. The first one was The Sorcerer's Stone. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.320 Order of the Phoenix was later. Maybe I didn't even 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.800 see that one. I don't know, Man, you're lying to everybody, 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:41.920 know I am. I'm lying, you know, I'm mainly lying 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:46.640 to Chuck Is myself. Yeah, that's the problem. Uh, here's 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.880 a really good one from old pal Teresa. The Sun 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.240 Will Come up Tomorrow. Um. Good Night and good Luck 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:59.200 the George Clooney movie starring David Strathorn, really really good film. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.439 David straight turn He's great. Which one is that was 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:04.480 he in good Night and good Luck? No, I'm confusing 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.080 him with a different name that sounds similar to that. 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.360 He he wasn't good Night and good Luck? And he's 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.679 just a great actor. Yeah, Okay, that's the guy I'm 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:16.560 thinking of. Yeah, he's he's classic. He can he can do. Uh, 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.520 he's got quite arranged because he's he's often times played 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.560 just like a kind of a good guy, a solid dude. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.840 But he's also been a bad guy in a couple 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.639 of movies and can kind of flick that switch to 0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.440 creepy and intimidating. I love that. Who's he? What's who? What? What? 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.080 What's been his his villainous roles? I can't I think 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.760 he was David Strathern villain. Let me see what the 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.040 old Internet says to say, Oh, wasn't he a bad 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.720 guy in l A Confidential? He was a bad guy 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:50.399
