Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush. It's a Monday,
Speaker 1: well not really, what day is it, nol. It's a
Speaker 1: monday in our hearts. I don't know what day it is, Chuck.
Speaker 1: Let me consult the computer real quick. It's a monday
Speaker 1: in our hearts. It's a Wednesday in our pants pants. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I I'm so sick of the
Speaker 1: whole cliche. Time is meaningless these days, but it still
Speaker 1: kind of holds true. I mean, I've been leaving the
Speaker 1: house a little. We actually radio to each other. I
Speaker 1: r L the other day at the office, That's right.
Speaker 1: It was kind of cute. And then he posted a
Speaker 1: picture and a lot of people weren't sure which of
Speaker 1: us was which of us, which I thought was funny.
Speaker 1: I love it. Man, throw a mask on us, and
Speaker 1: we're basically the same human, We're basically the same someone. Literally,
Speaker 1: you have this cool new haircut, Chuck uh. And you
Speaker 1: were standing under this dome light on the ceiling and
Speaker 1: someone was like, it looks like Nole's hair is being
Speaker 1: sucked up into the ceiling like a flow. Be corrected
Speaker 1: that person and I was like, who cares? The flow
Speaker 1: beat was much Uh. It was parodied beautifully in Wayne's World,
Speaker 1: but they called it the suck cut that sucks as
Speaker 1: it cuts, and then Wayne, it's sure does suck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We almost got a flow bee in college. It was
Speaker 1: one of those, you know, very college things to do.
Speaker 1: Like we're up late at night, you know, doing god
Speaker 1: knows what, and the flow Beat commercial comes on and
Speaker 1: we're like, we totally need to get that and have
Speaker 1: a floe Bee party cut everybody's hair. I don't know
Speaker 1: why we didn't quite frankly, probably because we didn't have
Speaker 1: to rub together you know. Hmm, how does one rub
Speaker 1: nine together? Well, that's as you get a lot of
Speaker 1: you get nineteen dollar bills? Okay, got it? Do this?
Speaker 1: Used to rub them together until they catch on fire.
Speaker 1: What do you do with the change? Though? How do
Speaker 1: you do? Do? You guess? You you just toss that
Speaker 1: in the pile. You can rub those coins, You can
Speaker 1: rub the coins. You ever heard of anybody that had
Speaker 1: a condition where they're anti like metal? You don't like
Speaker 1: touching things that are made of metal. It makes handling
Speaker 1: change a living nightmare. No, but I could, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that's a certain phobia. I guess my kid apparently has
Speaker 1: a lot of not phobias, but just aversions to texture.
Speaker 1: She doesn't like the touch, the feel of cotton. It
Speaker 1: is absolutely not the fabric of her life. Interesting, it
Speaker 1: isn't that weird? Something about the strings and the way
Speaker 1: it can kind of get stuck under your cuticles and
Speaker 1: it freaks her out. Yeah, so clothing or like, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? I don't know, man, Like, she
Speaker 1: could obviously wear fabric. She loves fabric. She's a big
Speaker 1: fashion person. But for some reason, like when she she
Speaker 1: doesn't like the way cotton like cotton balls, cotton swabs,
Speaker 1: kind of that stuff where like it pulls off, you know,
Speaker 1: with a string. So she probably don't like cotton candy either. Huh.
Speaker 1: She does weirdly And now I don't kids, And she's
Speaker 1: a very she's a strange one, man, but she's she's great.
Speaker 1: She's actually out in my uh in my house right
Speaker 1: now watching her baby sister. Um I get to be
Speaker 1: uncle Nol and she's her weird online school schedule gives
Speaker 1: her Wednesdays as like a project and outdoor day. So
Speaker 1: sometimes we have her sister come over and we hang
Speaker 1: out together and do like little outdoor things while her
Speaker 1: mom's working. Well that's fun. It's pretty cute. They buds
Speaker 1: god ya, I mean she literally her sister calls her
Speaker 1: mom when she's watching her like like like we to
Speaker 1: exactly just like webs, but as a sign of respect.
Speaker 1: But this kid, man, I forget what kids are like.
Speaker 1: I think she's three or pushing three, but she runs
Speaker 1: around circles until she gets like worn out and then
Speaker 1: just kind of like you know, Cox for a nap time.
Speaker 1: How does Ruby have that kind of energy? I saw
Speaker 1: she was doing some exploring. The energy is boundless and
Speaker 1: all it's it never stops. It's amazing. Like I have
Speaker 1: talks with her sometime at bedtime and I'm like, you're
Speaker 1: five years old, Like I'm ready to go to bed,
Speaker 1: and you're five years old and you're still partying. It's
Speaker 1: like it's gotta stop. It's gotta stop. Bedtime is not great.
Speaker 1: It's always She just doesn't want to miss anything like
Speaker 1: that Aerosmith song. Yeah, man, I don't want to miss
Speaker 1: a thing, sweet emotion, all that Janey's got a gun,
Speaker 1: looks like a lady. I don't know what any disregard
Speaker 1: all of that. Um, what's been going on? Man? How's
Speaker 1: uh the the audio book going for Stuff you know?
Speaker 1: I gotta say, no, we just wrapped the audio book
Speaker 1: of Stuff you Should Know, an incomplete compendium of mostly
Speaker 1: interesting things. I've announced it on Stuff you Should Know,
Speaker 1: but just for the movie crushers benefit. Uh, it is
Speaker 1: not twenty seven additional podcast episodes. Uh, it is. You
Speaker 1: got to read the book, Like, you can't just go
Speaker 1: in there and riff and do your thing. So we
Speaker 1: decided it would be really weird to have Josh and
Speaker 1: I like just swapping lines and just doing a read
Speaker 1: like that would probably freak people out. So we took turns,
Speaker 1: like I read my chapter as he read his, uh,
Speaker 1: and I think we ended up reading like some sidebars
Speaker 1: and bulleted lists on each other. So, and they're going
Speaker 1: to kind of cut those together. But it's an audiobook read,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not a ton of fun
Speaker 1: to do. I think we did a good job, but
Speaker 1: you know, I'm used to this kind of stuff totally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask what that's like for you. You're
Speaker 1: not used to mean not that it's scripted. I mean
Speaker 1: you obviously had a massive hand in writing the thing.
Speaker 1: But you're still reading something that's pre written and that's
Speaker 1: not typically your wheelhouse. What was that liked? He was
Speaker 1: an adjustment that we haven't you directed to like added
Speaker 1: out out of that go, yeah, there's a director. So
Speaker 1: we we get on a zoom call, I hand the
Speaker 1: reins over and let some engineer in New York control
Speaker 1: my computer. And then there's a director. And you know,
Speaker 1: he stayed out of our way. He was a good guy.
Speaker 1: He's inn former. Well I guess he's still an actor
Speaker 1: who his name is Fleet Cooper uh. In his claim
Speaker 1: to fame, he said that he was in the movie
Speaker 1: Sweet Home Alabama, and now he directs and and narrates
Speaker 1: audiobooks and directs audio books. And he was kind enough
Speaker 1: to kind of let us just do our thing. He
Speaker 1: didn't step in too much, um and like actually direct us.
Speaker 1: He was like, you guys know what you're doing. Just
Speaker 1: get in there and try and be yourself and read.
Speaker 1: And that's what we did, you know. Funny, funny, A
Speaker 1: little little tidbit of trivia here. Sweet Home Alabama shot
Speaker 1: in Georgia. It was wasn't it shot? It was shot
Speaker 1: in um oh, what's it called Crawfordville. Yeah, which makes
Speaker 1: sense because he's a Georgia guy, so he was cast locally.
Speaker 1: But he was a good dude, and uh, he made
Speaker 1: it easy. Honest. I think I had a I was
Speaker 1: a little nervous going in that we were going to
Speaker 1: get some director in there that would like really try
Speaker 1: and heavily direct us, and we would both have to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, listen, dude, you know, back off and
Speaker 1: just let us really gonna need you to take a take,
Speaker 1: take this down a peg. But he was cool. It
Speaker 1: worked out, and I think it's gonna be good. I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to hearing, uh how they cut it together
Speaker 1: and stuff. I am too. I gotta say, sort of related,
Speaker 1: but not fully related. I really appreciate it, but was
Speaker 1: also appalled by this massive thread on the movie Crusher's
Speaker 1: page about how Noel needs to read more books. Dude. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean it was a whole conversation you and I
Speaker 1: had where I sort of copped to like not having
Speaker 1: really been a you know, read a book in a
Speaker 1: while now. I did not caveat that with I. I
Speaker 1: listened to plenty of audio books, and I obviously read
Speaker 1: a lot for work. My whole point in that story
Speaker 1: was I think, you know, a lot of people these
Speaker 1: days are suffering from like sort of a collective a
Speaker 1: d D because everything is so like snack able in
Speaker 1: terms of like articles and tweets and art collective. You know,
Speaker 1: I think attention span has probably dwindled a bit over all.
Speaker 1: And I've heard this from a lot of other people,
Speaker 1: but um, I really appreciate it. But I was also like,
Speaker 1: oh no, the movie crushers think I can't read, But
Speaker 1: that's not what it was. It was some really nice recommendations.
Speaker 1: But um, everyone will be happy to know that I
Speaker 1: have picked up a Clive Barker book called him Magica
Speaker 1: that I've been starting. I started a while ago and
Speaker 1: put it down. Been enjoying that. But I've also really
Speaker 1: been enjoying the Charlie Kaufman audiobook of his new novel
Speaker 1: uh Aunt Kind, which I highly recommend for movie fans
Speaker 1: because there's all kinds of cool in jokes about movie criticism,
Speaker 1: and you know, the character that he portrays in the
Speaker 1: in the book, his name is b Rosenberg Rosenberger, and
Speaker 1: he's a film critic, and he makes it very clear
Speaker 1: that he's not Jewish. He wants everyone to know that
Speaker 1: Rosenberger isn't necessarily a Jewish name. Um, he's very hung
Speaker 1: up on things like race and and odd character. But
Speaker 1: he also hates Charlie Kaufman. He hates him with a
Speaker 1: passion and trashes everything that he's ever done. Thing to do.
Speaker 1: It's a very ry common thing to do, but I've
Speaker 1: I've been very much enjoying and I highly recommend folks
Speaker 1: check it out. It it's a it's very something only
Speaker 1: Kaufman could have done. Well. I'm certainly not gonna yuck
Speaker 1: anyone's yum who has moved to the audiobook thing or
Speaker 1: the kindle thing or e readers. Um, I'm personally enjoy
Speaker 1: old school hardcover reading. But uh, you know, people should
Speaker 1: ingest content however they fucking please agreed. Agreed. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: the same time, people should also read hardcover books. Yeah,
Speaker 1: different muscle. I completely Well. One thing, one thing that's
Speaker 1: very true about that is, um, you can't multitask while
Speaker 1: you're reading a you know, an analog book, you know,
Speaker 1: and it just it just guides your attention more. It's
Speaker 1: much more of a mindful activity where you have to
Speaker 1: kind of shut out everything else and just focus on
Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, audio books. I mean it's
Speaker 1: true with e readers too, but audio books, it's so
Speaker 1: easy to multitask and think that your attention is fully
Speaker 1: in the book, and it's not most of the time.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, Chuck, I'm totally with you. Yeah, alright, Noel,
Speaker 1: let's get going with some crushing. Uh. It's political season.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of that there's an
Speaker 1: election looming. I was trying to pretend that that wasn't happening,
Speaker 1: but yes, there we're electing a president, Noel, Uh, in
Speaker 1: the United States this November. We are either going to
Speaker 1: have the same president that we've had for nine on
Speaker 1: four years, or we are going to have a different president. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: tell me more. It's kind of a toss up at
Speaker 1: this point. I'm very nervous. I'm not looking at polls.
Speaker 1: I don't care what anyone says about who's supposed to
Speaker 1: win or not win. Either way, it's already too close
Speaker 1: for comfort. But this is election season, and so I
Speaker 1: just very simply put up a post and said, what's
Speaker 1: your favorite political movie? To see what the crushers thought.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna go ahead and start bottom up again
Speaker 1: with t J. Danny new Pal. He says election, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say the same thing. Yeah, yeah, class politics,
Speaker 1: high school politics. But it's a microcosmic kind of satire
Speaker 1: like it. You know, all of the same rules apply,
Speaker 1: and you can apply this stuff to like big picture stuff,
Speaker 1: and all of the in the sniping and nastiness and
Speaker 1: trying to ruin people, it's all in there. It's such
Speaker 1: a good, interesting movie, such a good movie. And from
Speaker 1: the great Alexander Paine, who very sadly was under fire recently.
Speaker 1: Did you see all that with rose McAllen and the
Speaker 1: accusation that she levied against him, No, just look it up.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into it. I'm still waiting
Speaker 1: through that in and trying to figure out what I
Speaker 1: think about it all. H he has denied some charges
Speaker 1: that she has levied against him, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Emily and I were doing a along and drawn out
Speaker 1: Alexander Paine series, so we kind of have to think
Speaker 1: about how we want to handle that moving forward. But um,
Speaker 1: it's all out there on the internet for you to
Speaker 1: read about people if you want to. I did not
Speaker 1: realize Alexander Payne did election. Actually, yes, that's an early one.
Speaker 1: That's interestingly. I think it was his second film. That's
Speaker 1: right after Citizen Ruth. If I'm not mistaken now that
Speaker 1: one I haven't even heard of. Oh boy, you should
Speaker 1: check out Citizen Ruth. It's great, I will he It's
Speaker 1: a satire on the abortion debate, starring Laura Dern and
Speaker 1: many others. Really really good movie. Alright. Moving on from
Speaker 1: bottom up, we have Steve send Zeck. Welcome to the show,
Speaker 1: he says, Tanner. I don't know that movie, do you know, Tanner? No,
Speaker 1: I said, I wonder if it's like a person's name,
Speaker 1: or if it's about somebody that like makes leather goods.
Speaker 1: It's very funny at all, Tanner. It's a Swiss drama film.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, nominated for for Best Foreign Language Film. It
Speaker 1: looks must be it. Yeah. Yeah. Xavier Caller is the
Speaker 1: autour's name. I call him such because he directed and
Speaker 1: wrote it. Um and yeah, I don't know. And these
Speaker 1: are all Swedish actors. Switch. The Swedish language film won
Speaker 1: the Grand Special Prize at the five Carlove Very International
Speaker 1: Film Festival, and it was nominated for Best Fore Language
Speaker 1: Film at the fifty nine. Oh, this is from the
Speaker 1: A the eighties. This is Swiss drop. Absolutely. David Roselle says,
Speaker 1: all the Presidents Men, of course, a classic, great, great,
Speaker 1: great movie, one of the best. Josh Callaghan says Dune.
Speaker 1: Here's my deal with Done Noel. I know nothing about Dune.
Speaker 1: I never read it, never saw the Lynch version. I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it. I know they're sand worms.
Speaker 1: I saw that new trailer. Yeah, my friend Stacy worked
Speaker 1: on it. Oh cool, and said that Danivea. Lneux is
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful director to work for. It seems loveliest
Speaker 1: in interviews he seems very warm and and and cool
Speaker 1: and not like a awful tyrant. Yes he is not
Speaker 1: an onset monster. Uh and the you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: certainly see that movie just because I like him. But
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about that world, do you You know?
Speaker 1: It's it's going back to my book reading attention spam.
Speaker 1: Tried to get through that book. But I gotta admit,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a bit of a slog. It's got
Speaker 1: a lot of It is very much a political book
Speaker 1: because it's all about these like political sort of um
Speaker 1: intersecting worlds. There's all of these different like echelons of
Speaker 1: society and sort of like mystics and then these like
Speaker 1: political leaders, and it very much is about the politics
Speaker 1: of the world of Dune. Um. Dune is this desert
Speaker 1: planet where it trades in this commodity called spice melange,
Speaker 1: which is basically like heroin UM. So it's very much
Speaker 1: sort of meant to be kind of like the Middle East,
Speaker 1: you know, with with opioids and like the Opium Wars
Speaker 1: and all of that. Um. But it's also very much
Speaker 1: a science fiction novel. And the a Lynch one is
Speaker 1: they it's like they ran out of money. You can
Speaker 1: kind of tell when the movie sort of goes off
Speaker 1: the rails like it is as I believe it was
Speaker 1: Dino de Laurentis that that produced it. He produced a
Speaker 1: ton of stuff, but I believe it was literally a
Speaker 1: matter of layup, we we ran the money. We gotta
Speaker 1: kind of rush to the ending. But yeah, if anyone
Speaker 1: can handle it's it's Villa. Know. The trailer looks amazing
Speaker 1: and I'm fascinated by it, but had a hard time
Speaker 1: getting into the book. All Right, well, I'm certainly gonna
Speaker 1: watch it, and I will be turned onto that world.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Uh, Colin Heffernan says The Distinguished Gentleman.
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw that. Uh Michael Ormond's Has
Speaker 1: Frozen two? Yeah, I mean, hell, that was a great movie.
Speaker 1: I didn't see two. And there are a lot of
Speaker 1: votes for election in here. I gotta say, Julie deut Meyer,
Speaker 1: Lauren Duke, Dave Lindquist, they're all thrown in on election.
Speaker 1: Here's one that I did see, Jason Devonshire top Fan
Speaker 1: in Old Palace as Vice. That Dick Cheney. When did
Speaker 1: you see that with Christian May? Was that the same
Speaker 1: director that did The Big Short? Is that right? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: they looked like they did a good job with casting
Speaker 1: though in the makeup and looked. I did not see it,
Speaker 1: but I you know, it was good. It's worth watching.
Speaker 1: It wasn't great, but it was fine. It's so funny
Speaker 1: that I'm sorry to backchecks ever so slightly. The Distinguished
Speaker 1: Gentleman is an Eddie Murphy political comedy from ninety's. It
Speaker 1: holds a rating on Rotten Tomatoes, not well regarded. I
Speaker 1: think that was kind of one of his stinkers. But
Speaker 1: you know, some people have different tastes than rotten tomatoes. Null.
Speaker 1: It's true, I know if you knew that, No, Dad,
Speaker 1: I did. I did. My fellow Americans, Becca lou and
Speaker 1: Jennifer Mudge old Pal the Mudge and Beccalu chime in
Speaker 1: with my fellow Americans. I'm not sure I know that movie,
Speaker 1: Google and all these This isn't my genre either, like
Speaker 1: I I. But it's also like typically, I think there's
Speaker 1: movies that could be considered political that aren't overtly political,
Speaker 1: and and I maybe I'm more into those or satirical ones.
Speaker 1: I'm not like you know, in the same way that
Speaker 1: I'm not like going to seek out a biopic but
Speaker 1: still might like a real good one. This is how
Speaker 1: I feel about the genre of political thrillers. Well, for instance,
Speaker 1: non Megan Carroll Old Friends says, uh, death of stalin
Speaker 1: a movie I know you loved, loved it, loved it.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, because it's very much a satire
Speaker 1: and obviously is about politics, but it's not. It handles
Speaker 1: it in like a weird, slapstick interesting way that I appreciate.
Speaker 1: Now here's one I haven't seen, but I still do
Speaker 1: want to check out. From Brian poudell uh IDEs of
Speaker 1: March the Ryan Gosling movie. I did not see that,
Speaker 1: but I really wanted to, because you know, I like
Speaker 1: all things Gossling. You like the gaz love him. I
Speaker 1: think he's a great actor. Have you ever seen Wag
Speaker 1: the Dog? I have, and uh, in fact, that was
Speaker 1: just mentioned on the page by Angela Backle. She says
Speaker 1: Bulworth and Wag the Dog. I thought Wag the Dog
Speaker 1: was okay. I didn't love it. It was not one
Speaker 1: I ever wanted to rewatch pretty very long time, very
Speaker 1: long time. Bulworth is Warren Beatty. H Okay, yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a movie of its time. Old friend and
Speaker 1: top fan Karry o'nels's Primary Colors with John Travolta. I
Speaker 1: kind of liked that movie. I remember when that came out.
Speaker 1: That was the Clinton movie. That's the Clinton movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, Napoleon Dynamite. This is from Ryan Murphy. Is
Speaker 1: that about politics? You know my history? Well, there's there's
Speaker 1: there's a school, there's a high school president election. That's right,
Speaker 1: vote Pedro vote for Pedro um. It's sort of a
Speaker 1: little a minor part of the story. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I support that House of Cards. We got a few
Speaker 1: people charming in with that. Obviously not a movie. I
Speaker 1: did not ever see it. Justin Wright chimes in with
Speaker 1: that one, though I've heard it was really great. Um,
Speaker 1: you know my deal, and I've talked about it before.
Speaker 1: I never I couldn't get over that that bad Southern
Speaker 1: accent from ac So I just I just didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I think we watched the pilot and I couldn't get
Speaker 1: past it, especially because he's he's he talks, He's like
Speaker 1: in every scene and he's like talking to the camera
Speaker 1: on rodrissle new when there's like fog, hold on leg
Speaker 1: on kind of voil. So I do love a barbecue real,
Speaker 1: but that way it's real bad. I mean, there are
Speaker 1: some redneck accents, but you and I are from I
Speaker 1: mean you were raised in Georgia for the most part. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's meant to be from somewhere real, alright, or
Speaker 1: it comes from the land of gent trip of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, it's real silly though I can't.
Speaker 1: You're in the same same deal. You have a thing
Speaker 1: with accents, though, don't you chuck. I feel like if
Speaker 1: it pulls you out of it, you're kind of out.
Speaker 1: You know. It's really hard for me because then I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking about that and then it pulls me out
Speaker 1: of the story. That's true. Mark Jeremany also says House
Speaker 1: of Cards a bunch of people did. Um, here's one
Speaker 1: for you know. Alexandria Runyon top fan says Harry Potter
Speaker 1: and The Order of the Phoenix. You know how much
Speaker 1: I love Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Uh,
Speaker 1: top top political thriller. You know, there's because I mean
Speaker 1: that Order of the Phoenix is just wielding so much
Speaker 1: power in the Potter verse, and Harry's got to do
Speaker 1: something about it. He's got to shut it down. He's gotta.
Speaker 1: I'm kiddy, I don't have no idea what that movie
Speaker 1: is about. The first one, no, no, that was No,
Speaker 1: that was the Chamber of of of Secrets. No, that
Speaker 1: was the second one. The first one was The Sorcerer's Stone.
Speaker 1: Order of the Phoenix was later. Maybe I didn't even
Speaker 1: see that one. I don't know, Man, you're lying to everybody,
Speaker 1: know I am. I'm lying, you know, I'm mainly lying
Speaker 1: to Chuck Is myself. Yeah, that's the problem. Uh, here's
Speaker 1: a really good one from old pal Teresa. The Sun
Speaker 1: Will Come up Tomorrow. Um. Good Night and good Luck
Speaker 1: the George Clooney movie starring David Strathorn, really really good film.
Speaker 1: David straight turn He's great. Which one is that was
Speaker 1: he in good Night and good Luck? No, I'm confusing
Speaker 1: him with a different name that sounds similar to that.
Speaker 1: He he wasn't good Night and good Luck? And he's
Speaker 1: just a great actor. Yeah, Okay, that's the guy I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of. Yeah, he's he's classic. He can he can do. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's got quite arranged because he's he's often times played
Speaker 1: just like a kind of a good guy, a solid dude.
Speaker 1: But he's also been a bad guy in a couple
Speaker 1: of movies and can kind of flick that switch to
Speaker 1: creepy and intimidating. I love that. Who's he? What's who? What? What?
Speaker 1: What's been his his villainous roles? I can't I think
Speaker 1: he was David Strathern villain. Let me see what the
Speaker 1: old Internet says to say, Oh, wasn't he a bad
Speaker 1: guy in l A Confidential? He was a bad guy
Speaker 1: and the Born Ultimatum, The Born Legacy. Pierce Patchett was
Speaker 1: the name of his character in l A Confidential, and
Speaker 1: I seem to remember that being somewhat villainous. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was not a great guy in that movie too. I
Speaker 1: think he was the rich guy, uh that Russell Crowe
Speaker 1: pays a visit to at one point. That's right. And
Speaker 1: who's who's got the He's neither one that has like
Speaker 1: the the sort of gaggle of of uh sex workers
Speaker 1: that are made to look like celebrities, and he's sort
Speaker 1: of the one who's the master of that world. That's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he can play a good bad guy when he
Speaker 1: needs to. Alright, Noel, I think we should move on
Speaker 1: from politics and we're gonna go to the crushers page.
Speaker 1: Our old pal, Austin Debski had a pretty great little
Speaker 1: thread going name a movie that would be a nightmare
Speaker 1: to watch with your parents, which I know that you've
Speaker 1: got a couple of stories of movies you saw with
Speaker 1: your mom, right that we're pretty uncomfortable. Well, it was.
Speaker 1: It was mainly just one. I think it was Mad
Speaker 1: Dog and Glory. There's a new Touma. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: also like a pretty steamy scene. Um so yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember being pretty pretty uncomfortable with that. One. So Clockwork
Speaker 1: Orange going bottom Up. That's Tim Tim Helmer. He said
Speaker 1: this actually happened to me. But with a college girlfriend's parents,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of silence. Boy, that would be tough.
Speaker 1: That's a rough one. It's weird for me now, like
Speaker 1: being my age, I don't watch a lot of movies
Speaker 1: with my mom, Like she didn't come over for a
Speaker 1: movie night or anything. If she happens to spend the
Speaker 1: night on Christmas Eve or something, we'll watch elf maybe.
Speaker 1: So I don't watch movies with my mom anymore. But
Speaker 1: back in the day, like especially growing up as a
Speaker 1: young Baptist, Uh, there was some crawl out of my
Speaker 1: skin moments anytime there was anything remotely sexy going on screen.
Speaker 1: But we weren't a big movie family as far as
Speaker 1: doing stuff like that together. So it's not like that
Speaker 1: happened a ton, but when it did, it was or
Speaker 1: Actually there's the one funny story which is kind of cute.
Speaker 1: When she took me to see the movie Grease, I
Speaker 1: wanted to leave during the underwear pillow fight, pillow fight
Speaker 1: spending night slumber party scene, and I kind of said, Mom,
Speaker 1: I want to go, and she took me out of
Speaker 1: the movie and we went into another one. It's so funny.
Speaker 1: It was so tame in retrospect. But yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: always the sexy stuff with the parents that that that
Speaker 1: freaks people out. Yeah. Uh, and it makes sense, like
Speaker 1: I said, like I told you my kid. Anytime we're
Speaker 1: watching something and like someone even like starts to smooch
Speaker 1: or like get even remotely intimate, she covers her eyes.
Speaker 1: But she's joking, but not like she basically covers her
Speaker 1: eyes and goes explicit, you know, like excuse me and appropriate.
Speaker 1: She does this like valley girl voice. That's pretty funny. Well,
Speaker 1: we watched Honey, I Shrunk the Kids the other day
Speaker 1: with Ruby and a movie by the way, that really
Speaker 1: holds up. Those practical effects still look pretty pretty damn good. Uh.
Speaker 1: And there's a pretty you know, there's that little love
Speaker 1: story going on with mean the neighbor boy in the
Speaker 1: in the main teenage girl and they're probably I guess
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be like maybe fifteen or sixteen ish,
Speaker 1: and they have a pretty like hardcore kiss at one point,
Speaker 1: and it's not just like our little first kiss, like
Speaker 1: they're kind of getting in there, isn't it. In the
Speaker 1: rain too, isn't it kind of like, well, they're they're wet.
Speaker 1: I think from falling falling into puddle that you got puddles.
Speaker 1: But um, it was definitely a kiss that she probably
Speaker 1: had not seen before, and I could tell she was
Speaker 1: just sort of like whoa, Like, what are they doing?
Speaker 1: Hachi machi? You say that out loud? Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think I think I even said something like, wow, you
Speaker 1: know they really like each other, because like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how you handle that when it's a five year old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not even within the realm of their
Speaker 1: like language, you know, blind here. Yeah, yeah, I know, dude,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll figure it out. It's just all that stuff
Speaker 1: happens on the fly. You know, he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: good culver. Matthew or an old friend says anything with
Speaker 1: banging is awful, Okay, get right to it, which is yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess not the same as making love. No, no,
Speaker 1: banging is much more aggressive kind of s e x oh. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're the kind where you're like, you start off being
Speaker 1: really angry, you know that always happens in movies, or
Speaker 1: there's two characters and they're like fighting and that really
Speaker 1: pissed each other, and then all of a sudden they
Speaker 1: turn that energy into pure, unadulterated steaminess. Because that happened
Speaker 1: so much in real life. Oh my gosh, don't I
Speaker 1: know it, Benjamin Raither says, Wolf of Wall Street. I
Speaker 1: could see that. Oh yeah, there's enough stuff in that
Speaker 1: just from new to tea to sex to drugging. That
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be fun with mom. No, Meredith Rix bind
Speaker 1: Him says, My siblings and I were watching Purple Rain,
Speaker 1: and my parents walked in while Prince was doing something inappropriate.
Speaker 1: My mom lost her mind and I lost my hearing.
Speaker 1: Was he humping everything around? Is that what he was doing?
Speaker 1: He was a little humpy in that movie when he
Speaker 1: was super humpy man during the Darling Nikki or he's
Speaker 1: like humping around on the floor. Boy. I remember hearing
Speaker 1: that song for the first time when I was a teenager.
Speaker 1: I was very worried that I was gonna get caught
Speaker 1: listening to it. Oh my god, yeah, very very salacious.
Speaker 1: I actually watched Purple Rain on a plane recently, and
Speaker 1: you know, everything on a plane's usually edited for content.
Speaker 1: It wasn't at all. This one wasn't it made it
Speaker 1: past the censors? And you know Apollonia is just full on,
Speaker 1: you know, topless jumping into the cleansing waters of Lake Minnetonka.
Speaker 1: And I certainly remember that scene. Noel had quite a
Speaker 1: thing for Apollonia. Oh gorgeous, gorgeous woman. So what's your
Speaker 1: favorite Prince album, Noel? You know, I'm not an album
Speaker 1: person with Prince, so that sounds like a cop out.
Speaker 1: I have that Prince collection where he's got so many
Speaker 1: amazing hits and singles, and not even songs that were
Speaker 1: actually singles or hits, but just you know, ones that
Speaker 1: just have kind of made it into the zeite guys.
Speaker 1: So I don't really have like a full record or
Speaker 1: a real intimate knowledge of like the the track list,
Speaker 1: but I just know so many of his his incredible songs.
Speaker 1: Um gosh, I don't know, like Darling Nikki is Is
Speaker 1: is a great one. I love Let's Go Crazy obviously,
Speaker 1: it's just got this amazing energy and kiss And I
Speaker 1: like some of the nineties stuff with the New Power generation,
Speaker 1: like that song seven h seven and We'll watch them
Speaker 1: fun inging you got the say of Love and we
Speaker 1: will smoke them all and one, and the whole unit
Speaker 1: was good. Ever, come back anyway, it's good good. Check
Speaker 1: it out, y'all. Sort of underappreciated era from Prince the
Speaker 1: in in PG that's what they call it. We were
Speaker 1: listening to Prince the other day. I think Around the
Speaker 1: World in a Day is my favorite. Uh. It's such
Speaker 1: a weird album. Um, it's it's odd and like all
Speaker 1: the right ways. It's great. Around the World in Today,
Speaker 1: Paisley Park, Raspberry Beret pop Life, of course, such a
Speaker 1: good song, great album, all right, and let's finish up
Speaker 1: with a couple of more of these. Let me see
Speaker 1: here The Danish Girl. This is from David Keith. He
Speaker 1: said he has Christian parents and said the Danish Girl
Speaker 1: it's something he would not want to watch with him.
Speaker 1: Jim Vick says the Human Centipede. Uh, he said, I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: He said, I've never even seen it. I want to
Speaker 1: see it at some point, like you gotta see it, right,
Speaker 1: did you guess? Now? I didn't see it. It's it's
Speaker 1: one of those ones that's just kind of like it's
Speaker 1: just designed to make you squirm and just to like
Speaker 1: be completely offensive in every possible way. And that doesn't
Speaker 1: really interest me, not so much and interesting to the
Speaker 1: point where I want to like, look the spoilers of
Speaker 1: how gross it really gets if they really want to
Speaker 1: sit through this like as as well? Well, it's like
Speaker 1: why to what end? Yeah, to see if I could
Speaker 1: take it all ends sewn together head too, but that
Speaker 1: might watch it. Since it's October, maybe I'll dive in there.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna finish up here with Frank Bowman
Speaker 1: or Bauman. He says, The Doom Generation, the great film
Speaker 1: from Gregor Rocky. That's a cool one, man. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: haven't thought about that movie in years. Yeah. Man, I
Speaker 1: used to love Gregor Rocky. He made some good movies
Speaker 1: and I think he's still around it just he's one
Speaker 1: of us sort of fell away from my purview. Alright, No, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish up with stream this where we talk
Speaker 1: about what we've been watching. I'll go ahead and lead
Speaker 1: it off with a few things. Um, I watched that
Speaker 1: Fast Times at Ridgemont High Table read yeah that was
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun, and left my review
Speaker 1: on the page, so people want to go look and
Speaker 1: see what I ought. I thought it was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Everyone was having a great time. Jennifer Aniston
Speaker 1: and Julia Roberts are just national treasures. Morgan Freeman reading
Speaker 1: stage directions, what was great? Brad Pitt was awesome. I
Speaker 1: loved everyone, except I didn't like Shyla Buffsteak on it.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people do a lot of
Speaker 1: people spccoli or he played Spaccoli, and he just got
Speaker 1: superstoned the whole time, and to me, brought a very
Speaker 1: negative energy to it to what is supposed to be
Speaker 1: a teen comedy. Played it a little more serious, and
Speaker 1: I saw some people that were like, yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a unique take and you gotta love respect that, And
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I didn't think it fitted
Speaker 1: kind of stuck out like a sore thumb. So he
Speaker 1: actually got really stoned the whole time. Oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: was just smoking this huge spliff like the whole time,
Speaker 1: and I think he was kind of trying to I
Speaker 1: don't know, he went method. He was kind of hogging it,
Speaker 1: like when he wasn't reading, he was in the background,
Speaker 1: kind of being weird, and I just wanted him to
Speaker 1: kind of shut up been and be respectful of everyone
Speaker 1: else's read I don't know if we've talked about this.
Speaker 1: What's your take on him? In general? He annoys me,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I think he's talented. I watched honey Boy.
Speaker 1: I heard it was great. I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: It's really good. You know, he did a great, great job.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of talent. I think he bugs
Speaker 1: me a little bit personally, but he's a talented guy.
Speaker 1: You know. I think he got sober though, I think
Speaker 1: that was later. He like he he wrote honey Boy
Speaker 1: while he was in treatment. Obviously he's not fully sober.
Speaker 1: If he's you know, getting I tooking a big old
Speaker 1: hog leg. But I mean, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the thing with with people that I really
Speaker 1: have addiction in the alcohol department is it's it's really
Speaker 1: exclusively alcohol, and they can maybe smoke a little weed
Speaker 1: or whatever here and there, and everyone's got their own journey. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I watched that. I watch We're on like episode
Speaker 1: three of season three of Dark finishing that up. Um,
Speaker 1: it's really tough to follow at this point. I'm doing
Speaker 1: my best. I'm hanging in there. Uh. Very rewarding show,
Speaker 1: but tough, a tough watch if you're not really paying attention.
Speaker 1: I keep trying to get into it, and I just
Speaker 1: realized that I'm not paying enough attention. And then I
Speaker 1: look up and I'm like, I don't know what the
Speaker 1: fun is going on, and I have to start over.
Speaker 1: And I just I think I've done that rense and
Speaker 1: repeat like maybe three times and in the end, you
Speaker 1: know it just it might not be for you, maybe not.
Speaker 1: But I love shows like that, like I loved Lost,
Speaker 1: I love timey wymy sci fi shows. I think I
Speaker 1: just need to watch it when I'm really in the
Speaker 1: right head space to to to commit. Yeah. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then I watched and all the other night I was
Speaker 1: in the mood for a music documentary. Uh, And I
Speaker 1: realized that I've seen a lot of them when I
Speaker 1: was scrolling through. But I saw one called Other Music,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what is this about it? And
Speaker 1: it's about a record store New York's close. I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen this the last bookstores, the
Speaker 1: last record stores. But let me take a flyer. Have
Speaker 1: you seen it? I know about it, I've seen the
Speaker 1: trailer for it. I know like Animal Collective and a
Speaker 1: lot of bands that I love called at Home and
Speaker 1: it was a really special place in New York City. Dude,
Speaker 1: it is a great, great, great documentary. I just loved it. Um.
Speaker 1: I was mad at myself that I'd have been going
Speaker 1: to New York, you know, for twenty five years on
Speaker 1: the rag and did not even know this place existed.
Speaker 1: And this was in an area of town. I go
Speaker 1: to a lot and where was it? Exict was in
Speaker 1: the East Village, um near And you know, it's kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. They did a very ballsy thing. They opened
Speaker 1: up right across the street from Tower Records and called
Speaker 1: themselves other Music, like you've got Tower Records and where
Speaker 1: the other music? Um. But it was a really special
Speaker 1: documentary and I'm I'm mad that I didn't go before
Speaker 1: it closed. But UM highly recommended. Cool, fantastic. What you
Speaker 1: been talking about? Oh gosh, um, let's see I have
Speaker 1: been watching You're looking at your queue. No, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think because like when when when we last talked
Speaker 1: about I don't want to be redundant, I talked about
Speaker 1: how much I loved I May Destroy You. I finished
Speaker 1: watching that the season finale of that show I think
Speaker 1: is one of the best I've seen in recent matter.
Speaker 1: Now you watched the Calcuman movie but I have not
Speaker 1: seen that yet. I know we're gonna I need to
Speaker 1: get that under my belt so we can crush it out.
Speaker 1: I would love to do a crush to judgment on
Speaker 1: that one, because it's very divisive. It's it's one that
Speaker 1: I actually had to do a little, a little supplemental
Speaker 1: reading on to feel like I fully wrapped my head
Speaker 1: around it. And I mentioned that on the movie crush
Speaker 1: page and somebody pointed out, well, with if you had
Speaker 1: to do that, then was it really good? And that's
Speaker 1: an interesting question, but I I do. I did very much.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. No, I don't think so either. Um,
Speaker 1: what else have I been watching? Though? I have been
Speaker 1: watching some good stuff, you know. I I've been seeing
Speaker 1: the praises of HBO Max um though I will say
Speaker 1: I'm very confused the way they've rolled out that that product,
Speaker 1: because like they don't have a deal with Roku yet
Speaker 1: and so you can't and so many people I know
Speaker 1: that I'm like telling like, oh, HBO Max is so
Speaker 1: great and you can probably get it for free if
Speaker 1: you're already a subscribe to HBO or if you are
Speaker 1: a subscribed to A T and T. I actually got
Speaker 1: a free subscription um, but the app itself is not
Speaker 1: available on many platforms like Apple TV. Are you roc
Speaker 1: what's your deal? I'm not a Roku. I have an
Speaker 1: Amazon Fire TV, but it's not on that. It's not
Speaker 1: on that. I have a PlayStation four and it is
Speaker 1: on that, but like so many people don't either don't
Speaker 1: have that system or don't like to stream video on it.
Speaker 1: They just use it for what you know, for gaming.
Speaker 1: But um, it's a little weird the way they like
Speaker 1: rolled up this thing that's supposedly this big like game
Speaker 1: changer for HBO, and they did a really poor job
Speaker 1: at making it available. That being said, I love it.
Speaker 1: It's got a really cool selection of classic movies for
Speaker 1: with their Turner Classic Movie section, and it has a
Speaker 1: lot of studio Ghibli stuff, like we've talked about the
Speaker 1: n Um and it has one I watched one on
Speaker 1: it that I had never seen. It's called Whispers of
Speaker 1: the Heart and it's one of the few studio Ghibli
Speaker 1: films that isn't directed by Miyazaki. And it's sort of
Speaker 1: a not particularly a fantasy film either, which is kind
Speaker 1: of what they're known for. It's a sort of coming
Speaker 1: of age film in Tokyo about this young woman who
Speaker 1: starts to kind of hone in on this guy who
Speaker 1: might potentially be her soul mate because she notices his
Speaker 1: name before hers or after hers, and all of the
Speaker 1: books that she checks out from the library. And it's
Speaker 1: it's really sweet. Um, it's about creativity. It's about kind
Speaker 1: of coming into your own as a creative human and
Speaker 1: you know, just a mature member of society. That sounds
Speaker 1: really clinical. What I'm just saying is it's a very
Speaker 1: lovely movie. And I watched it with my daughter and
Speaker 1: it made me have some feels. It's really just really nice.
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. It's one that I think has
Speaker 1: flown under some folks writer. And there's a sequel to
Speaker 1: it called The Cat Returns because there is a character
Speaker 1: and it's like an anthropomorphized cat. It's only exists as
Speaker 1: like a uh, kind of curio like doll in this
Speaker 1: vintage store or this like antique store. And then on
Speaker 1: the second one it becomes like comes to life kind
Speaker 1: of and it's like a whole another spin off thing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Whispers of the Heart highly Whispers of the Heart,
Speaker 1: all right, check that one out. Sweet, Well, No, let's
Speaker 1: wrap it up for this episode and record another one
Speaker 1: right after. Uh, sadly, we're not playing our game. You know,
Speaker 1: people love that new game with Casey. They did, they did.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun, right, I want to be
Speaker 1: in the hot seeds sometimes, Chuck, I mean, yeah, well
Speaker 1: we'll do that, and um, I think it may be fun.
Speaker 1: There was something about the dynamic of having three people.
Speaker 1: It was cool. So maybe even when I do it
Speaker 1: with you, I'll bring in Maybe we'll bring in Casey
Speaker 1: just to you know, be there to make fun of you,
Speaker 1: so we have a third person. Casey really enjoyed it,
Speaker 1: and he really enjoyed seeing all you lovely crushers out there.
Speaker 1: It was fun having enjoyed it. It was also a
Speaker 1: side of Casey I think hasn't people I haven't really
Speaker 1: seen on this show, because you know, Casey's a very
Speaker 1: studied movie guy and very deliberate and intelligent with his commentary.
Speaker 1: So it was fun to kind of for people to
Speaker 1: see the lighter side of Casey's talking about. I went
Speaker 1: back and listen to it. It It was really funny, had
Speaker 1: a good time. Living is a living nightmare, A living nightmare.
Speaker 1: This is my hell on Arthia. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1: But people really love that so uh And I think
Speaker 1: this might be the kind of thing where I can
Speaker 1: get in, uh, you know, some of my famous pals
Speaker 1: to even come on, Like I can grab Hodgeman and
Speaker 1: bring him in, and I'm gonna I'm definitely gonna do this.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should try and do it like every other
Speaker 1: week or something for a little while. Love it. What's
Speaker 1: it called? Didn't have a name? Pop quiz? Hot shot?
Speaker 1: Pop quiz hot shot. There you go. From from the
Speaker 1: from the movie The Bus Titans. Slow down, all right, buddy,
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone for listening, and we'll see you next week.
