Speaker 1: welcome to Movie Crush. On a Monday, it's a many
Speaker 1: with Noel back in the house. The greatst Adventure is
Speaker 1: on Movie Crush. Sorry, dude, I was listening back to
Speaker 1: that episode we did what we were talking about, the Hobbit,
Speaker 1: and I just I've got that stuck in my head
Speaker 1: now and that voice and you do a kind of
Speaker 1: quavery voice thing that's sort of like that guy, you
Speaker 1: know what just happened in the car? No uh, Ruby
Speaker 1: is art right now. It's it's the saddest art camp.
Speaker 1: It's her and three girls because of distancing. But these
Speaker 1: are the only children she's seen and months and months
Speaker 1: and months, so it's been kind of great. But we
Speaker 1: were on the way and I was playing you know kids,
Speaker 1: little kids like ween huh, Like it makes sense at tracks.
Speaker 1: I was not aware of that, but yet. Yeah. A
Speaker 1: lot of their stuff is like very kid friendly, I mean,
Speaker 1: while also being completely not kid friendly, but musically it
Speaker 1: sounds very fun and kids like I put on spinealman ingitis,
Speaker 1: which has that mommy well there's also the little kid
Speaker 1: voice that layered on top of it, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want her hearing the main lines, which is it really
Speaker 1: hurts mommy, Am I gonna die? Please don't let me die? Yes,
Speaker 1: So I kept saying, please let me fly? Am I
Speaker 1: gonna fly? And uh I turned, you know, the song
Speaker 1: went off, and then she's in the pack, he going,
Speaker 1: am I godly, mommy, please let me fly? All right? Oh,
Speaker 1: my parents, you're dead of the year. You're making a little, uh,
Speaker 1: a little bad seed kind of situation here, chuck. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: And she also was just started singing Yellow Submarine, a
Speaker 1: song that I have never played for her before, out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. I know. It's like your kids just start
Speaker 1: singing the Beatles out of nowhere. That's a good sign.
Speaker 1: Where'd you get ahold of Yellow Submarine? I wonder, I
Speaker 1: mean somebody. They probably played it in the art class's yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense, it makes sense. How are you, sir?
Speaker 1: I'm okay, man. I don't know if you can say.
Speaker 1: I've got a little more background actually going on in
Speaker 1: a stewd here. I got that orange the mic coming
Speaker 1: down from on high. I got one of these little
Speaker 1: bloom arm things, and I got my little uh, you're
Speaker 1: see one of these guys. Yeah, let's uh play it
Speaker 1: in all anyway, you get the pictures. It's a melodica,
Speaker 1: and that was the Jurassic Park theme. It's a melodica
Speaker 1: for those of you that don't know. It's one of
Speaker 1: those keyboards as a blow tube and you supply sound
Speaker 1: through your morning breath exactly my morning coffee breath. Uh.
Speaker 1: Not to be shared with others unless you have your
Speaker 1: own mouthpiece. Um. But yeah, you can't really see it.
Speaker 1: But I've got like all my stuff. I've got a
Speaker 1: full drum kid in here. Now, I've got my little
Speaker 1: keyboard rigs set up here, got my guitars hanging on
Speaker 1: the Is that a laptop? Uh? Or is it a desktop?
Speaker 1: What i'mut the computer I'm using. Yeah, yeah, it's a laptop.
Speaker 1: But I have a second monitor up on like my
Speaker 1: little shelf here, and then I got my my new
Speaker 1: monitor speakers and I'm set to go, Chuck, I'm ready
Speaker 1: to rock. Well, my question, nol is, can you pick
Speaker 1: up the goddamn laptop? And it's tethered, Chuck, it's tether
Speaker 1: Do you mean tethers a laptop? It's got like a dongle.
Speaker 1: It's just going into the sound card. It's going in
Speaker 1: the sound card. It's got the word I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear about your dongle. It's it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: pretty nice dongle. Chuck. Too early for that, Never too
Speaker 1: early for a dongle. My friend, is your dongle circumcised? No,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's uncut, uncut Jim, uncut. We call
Speaker 1: it old uncut Jim. That's that's that's my nickname. Speaking
Speaker 1: of which, dude, I had my dear friend Harry Um,
Speaker 1: who hadn't seen anybody and during all this, are you
Speaker 1: still talking about your penis? No? This is my dear friend,
Speaker 1: Harry his real name. He's got the best day. He
Speaker 1: sounds like a villain on Charles Dickens novels. Name is
Speaker 1: Harry Grimes and I should I should, you know? But
Speaker 1: he hadn't talked to seen a single person in all
Speaker 1: of this, and uh, I got him up here and
Speaker 1: he like was telling me how he would go days
Speaker 1: without speaking, and I was just like fun man, that
Speaker 1: was he quarantined for real zies but interesting, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But he came up here and hung out for a
Speaker 1: couple of days and we watched. We did it back
Speaker 1: to back, a twenty four anxiety double feature. We did
Speaker 1: the Lighthouse followed by Uncut Gems and it was a hoot,
Speaker 1: and you also sat back to back. Because of exactly,
Speaker 1: I want to apologize to everyone about the audio issues
Speaker 1: I had on last week's episode. I recorded down here
Speaker 1: with Emily, and I think what happened was it recorded
Speaker 1: me through the little built in mic on my recording
Speaker 1: unit and not my sure what are these SM seven
Speaker 1: b SIM seven b, and it recorded Emily through her
Speaker 1: sure S M seven b, so she was very loud
Speaker 1: and also sniffley because she has allergies. Uh, And it
Speaker 1: sounded like I was in a different room. So you know,
Speaker 1: a rare audio glitch where we're doing the best we can.
Speaker 1: So Big apologizes good episode two. So I I gotta
Speaker 1: say due as I listened to other podcasts, which I,
Speaker 1: to be completely honest, don't that much because of all
Speaker 1: the podcast that we do work. First, the audio quality
Speaker 1: swings wide, my friend, especially during all of this, so
Speaker 1: it'll beat yourself up over it. A little hiccup like
Speaker 1: that is to be to be expected from time to
Speaker 1: time during all I appreciate that people were generally nice
Speaker 1: and the people, I mean, no one was mean, but
Speaker 1: some people were like, I'm sorry, I just couldn't listen
Speaker 1: to this one. I had to turn it off. I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, but you know that happens. Uh,
Speaker 1: so nol. I figured we'd do a little gaming corner
Speaker 1: since we've been talking about games a lot lately. I
Speaker 1: finally started Last of Us two last night. Emily had
Speaker 1: a zoom call with some old friends starting at eight,
Speaker 1: right after Ruby went to bed. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I got and this was a long sort of party calls, like,
Speaker 1: so I got a few hours here and it's time
Speaker 1: to pop it in. It's dark outside, and so I
Speaker 1: played for about I played, like the first two hours
Speaker 1: of the game. Have you started it? I have not.
Speaker 1: What's your what's your early uh? What's the word I'm
Speaker 1: looking for it check early impression. Early impression is um
Speaker 1: great so far. I mean, you know it. I don't
Speaker 1: want to give anything away, but you know it's very
Speaker 1: film and movie like, just like the other one, and
Speaker 1: that it starts off with a lot of non gameplay
Speaker 1: stuff that's that's just good to sit through and rewarding.
Speaker 1: I think that's what makes those stories so rich or
Speaker 1: that story so rich. It's cool to see Ellie older
Speaker 1: and you know, more of capable and um, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: about all I want to say about it so far.
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks amazing. Of course, I will say
Speaker 1: this at having played Dead Red so much lately. The horse, ah,
Speaker 1: the horse play, for lack of a better word, the
Speaker 1: horse interaction or what do you call it? The interface
Speaker 1: is much much better in Red Dead. Uh. And once
Speaker 1: you if you're going from playing that literally that day
Speaker 1: to then switching over to this, it feels a little
Speaker 1: clunkier because you just don't have as much control on
Speaker 1: over the horse as you want. Chuck for the records.
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. There's a horse. There was a horse in
Speaker 1: the first one, was there really? Yeah? I didn't remember
Speaker 1: the horse. Yeah there was a horse at some point
Speaker 1: that they had horses later in the game, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it um and I hadn't played the first one in
Speaker 1: so long. It was It's kind of neat being thrown
Speaker 1: back into that world after so much Red Dead. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden I was back in the Last of
Speaker 1: Us world and I was like, oh, yeah, I remember,
Speaker 1: I remember why I loved this game so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of the first game. Um
Speaker 1: it's I'm I'm really excited to play it. I don't
Speaker 1: know that I'm going to get to it for a while.
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of games that I haven't finished
Speaker 1: on PS four. But I just got myself a Nintendo Switch,
Speaker 1: the coveted Nintendo Switch, so I got there. Huh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great, man, It's a really really clever system. Like
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know, Nintendo so good at designing
Speaker 1: like hardware, and also like their games are just next level,
Speaker 1: like they're just pure fun. So I got Mario Kart
Speaker 1: eight Deluxe, which I already was playing on the WU,
Speaker 1: which I got rid of. It's basically the same game,
Speaker 1: just a little bit remastered and higher definitions. So I'll
Speaker 1: continue playing that and playing that online a good bit.
Speaker 1: And then I got this game Super Smash Brothers U,
Speaker 1: where it's basically like a fighting game, but with all
Speaker 1: the Nintendo characters from throughout time, and all of the
Speaker 1: stages are like different stages from like all these classic
Speaker 1: Nintendo games. And it's not like a regular fighting game
Speaker 1: where you wear someone's like health down. It's at all
Speaker 1: these different rules. It's more like a sumo mats where
Speaker 1: you have to knock them out of this ring multiple times,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it's just like it's something about
Speaker 1: the dynamic and the balance of it. It's just like
Speaker 1: super addictive. I've been playing the hell out of that game.
Speaker 1: And it's your daughter, which she's super excited when it
Speaker 1: showed up. Well, she was at a town at the time. Um,
Speaker 1: and I'm terrible at surprised as so I told her
Speaker 1: it was coming. But yeah, she's been rocking Animal Crossing,
Speaker 1: which is so oh not my bag. I'm realizing, I'm
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got some friends that I really
Speaker 1: respect that that are so into it, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give it a shot. But it's like, you know, you
Speaker 1: make your little house and you make you decorate your island,
Speaker 1: and it's all about just like going with the flow
Speaker 1: and like you fish in the river and all this
Speaker 1: and collect apples from the trees and uh. She loves it.
Speaker 1: And you can play what you can go visit your
Speaker 1: friends islands and do stuff together and that's a big
Speaker 1: part of the appeal. So yeah, she's all about and
Speaker 1: she's good at other games too. She's really good at
Speaker 1: Mario Karr. We can play that together. She's getting really
Speaker 1: good at smash Bros. So yeah, it was a very
Speaker 1: worthy purchase. I really love it. It's nice. I love it.
Speaker 1: Um I was. It seems like I have all my
Speaker 1: most embarrassing moments when Emily comes around. When I'm playing
Speaker 1: Red Dead. There are these two women, or at least
Speaker 1: they were female characters. You never know who's playing these
Speaker 1: characters in your life, but in the game, there were
Speaker 1: these two women that just we're kicking my assenal like
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. I was, they were griefing me. I
Speaker 1: was just doing my thing, doing my hunting operation, and
Speaker 1: they came up and I did my usual thing, which
Speaker 1: is I wave and I'm like hi, and I kind
Speaker 1: of nod my head. I'm like friendly guy here. And
Speaker 1: she came up noll and just fucking tackled me and
Speaker 1: flipped me over and hog tied me and and rode
Speaker 1: me around on her horse. And then she I got free.
Speaker 1: She punched me with her friend, she hog tied me again,
Speaker 1: left me on the ground, and Emily had just happened
Speaker 1: to come in there, and she's laughing her ass off,
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're hog tied. You can break
Speaker 1: free if you hit that button like four times. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that was like I said, I haven't played
Speaker 1: the online component of that, but that that's delightful. And
Speaker 1: also why would you put yourself through that chuck? Didn't
Speaker 1: you say this has happened to you before? Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Are you okay? I'm fine? It wasn't that egg on
Speaker 1: my face. It was embarrassing. I was just getting this
Speaker 1: ship kicked out of me and then I got mad,
Speaker 1: and you know, I finally got free and was able
Speaker 1: to kill one of them, and that just made it worse.
Speaker 1: Then then they were like obsessed with finding me and
Speaker 1: hog dyeing me, like I'm not good enough to I
Speaker 1: think once you play a long long time, you just
Speaker 1: want to get more creative and how you kick the
Speaker 1: ship out of people, and it's not fun to just
Speaker 1: like pull out your shotguns. So they were doing all
Speaker 1: sorts of creative things. They were dragging me with a
Speaker 1: horse psychological torture, dude, that is bonkers. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty Who are these sadists? This is uh?
Speaker 1: This is alarming. It was who knows? Who knows? So no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off here did we catch up? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're caught Yeah? Are we good? Yeah? I felt like
Speaker 1: something else I was going to ask you about was
Speaker 1: that gaming corner? Is it is? Game? Is this coming?
Speaker 1: This is there's still more gaming talk? Or was that
Speaker 1: and now that that was gaming? Anything else that I
Speaker 1: was making sure that wasn't just a preamble to the
Speaker 1: real gaming corner people be like kill me God. Some
Speaker 1: people love it, but um, I'm waiting for someone to
Speaker 1: come along and kick my ass and then speak through
Speaker 1: my television and say, are you chuck for a movie? Crush?
Speaker 1: Because my name, you know, I wasn't one of these
Speaker 1: people that thought of some clever name. Well not even clever.
Speaker 1: Most of them are just like, you know, kill myister
Speaker 1: three thousand and torture King, and there's all these disturbing names.
Speaker 1: You know, kill myister three k dude, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's a legend, a legend at playing video games. All right, So, Nol,
Speaker 1: this is a question I don't know why I've never
Speaker 1: asked before. It's very simple. It is what's your favorite
Speaker 1: black and white movie? I saw that and I like
Speaker 1: it because it could be like a classic or it
Speaker 1: could be like a stylized art kind of blacks, right,
Speaker 1: it could be Sky Captain in the World of Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Was that that wasn't really fully black? And why was it? No,
Speaker 1: We had this conversation. It was it was sort of
Speaker 1: a very desaturated that I'm thinking of Sin City, which
Speaker 1: was similar in tone, like in terms of like the design.
Speaker 1: I quite enjoyed us since the first one. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. That looks good. So we're gonna start off
Speaker 1: with the top post here from Christine Fordham. Not only
Speaker 1: my favorite black and white movie, but one of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies overall, starring one of my favorite actors. M
Speaker 1: with Peter Laurie, directed by the incomparable Fritz Lang. Creepy, creepy,
Speaker 1: atmospheric goodness. Close runner up is Freaks, also creepy and thoughtful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never seen him. I've actually seen him. I'm surprised,
Speaker 1: like like we've talked about, I I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: ton of of these these great classics. But he whistles.
Speaker 1: He's like a serial killer kind of. It's sort of
Speaker 1: a like a really early serial killer movie. And he whistles.
Speaker 1: That's how you know he's coming. That's creepy. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what is the whistle? Is it? Is it a
Speaker 1: token song like a I think it is and I
Speaker 1: can't or what it is, something like the Farmer in
Speaker 1: the Dell or something like that, but I can't quite
Speaker 1: recall what that is. It's the same one every time.
Speaker 1: Moving on to U and think of your answer to no,
Speaker 1: old oh cannon a twelve Angry men. Actors do so
Speaker 1: much with just facial expressions, fantastic lessons to teach everyone.
Speaker 1: The rare black and white comedy from top fan and
Speaker 1: old friend Jessica Medina or Medina, she's like, no, it's
Speaker 1: not or it's one or the other. Dude, learn it,
Speaker 1: but she goes with young Frankenstein classic and I don't.
Speaker 1: I guess he wasn't directly involved in this. But Carl Reiner.
Speaker 1: We just lost Carl Reiner. I think he was ninety
Speaker 1: seven years old or something like that, like crazy, yeah,
Speaker 1: legend end in a contemporary of and good friend of
Speaker 1: mel Brooks. So yeah, of course I'm glad you remember that.
Speaker 1: No to shout out it seems like we lost someone
Speaker 1: else too recently or am I thinking something? Oh, I
Speaker 1: can't tell you what you're thinking about? Check Mr. That
Speaker 1: is you're not you're not doing a s MR. Right, Chuck.
Speaker 1: That is not what a SMR. Really, it's not a
Speaker 1: constant off keytone. No, it's no, it's it's meant to
Speaker 1: be just whispers. It's like it's like this is the
Speaker 1: sound of my voice like that. You get the tingles?
Speaker 1: Should getting the tingles? I pretending pretense. Stop it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pretend to give you a haircut. Chuck. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a big one too, Give me a
Speaker 1: little tingle. Remember American History X. I don't think it
Speaker 1: was all in black and way, but they were like
Speaker 1: the flashbacks were maybe, but uh that one heavy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see Green Room? Did we talk about that?
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed Green Room. I mean it's a it's
Speaker 1: a slog. It's very like it's it's it's it's intense.
Speaker 1: Actually had this conversation with somebody of the dying about
Speaker 1: how American History X. They're both about neo Nazi kind
Speaker 1: of culture. American History ACTS is much more of like
Speaker 1: an allegorical kind of like you know, um teachable kind
Speaker 1: of thing where you really like take away like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is where this hate comes from. Whereas Green Room
Speaker 1: is more of like a murder kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: escape torture porn kind of thing. I didn't find it
Speaker 1: to be as like, you know, meaningful in terms of like,
Speaker 1: you know, understanding that motivations behind the characters. They're just
Speaker 1: kind of like played like movie monsters. Basically, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is not heavy at all, but I thought it was
Speaker 1: sort of a pulpy thrill ride type of film. Totally. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, in this day and age,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk about Neo Nazis, something about say
Speaker 1: something about it, have something to say because something I
Speaker 1: don't know but which that was years ago. But uh,
Speaker 1: that's just looking back on it, I feel it has
Speaker 1: a little thin in that department. Yeah, like if anything
Speaker 1: the band could well din't. It feels just so contrived
Speaker 1: if they're like liberal do gooders who win in the end.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I don't. I'm not I like what
Speaker 1: it was. I'm just saying it's like, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you gotta take a stand and you have
Speaker 1: to like have some kind of deeper meaning. But that
Speaker 1: movie was really just kind of slasher, like a slasher
Speaker 1: movie with my Nazis. There's such a snob. I know,
Speaker 1: I get it from my mom. Oh the opera singer
Speaker 1: so old friend. Kristen Egan says, the Apartment, the Thin Man,
Speaker 1: Swing Time, and the Purple Rose of Cairo, or to
Speaker 1: choose one. I want to see all of these. You
Speaker 1: haven't seen any of those? Have you? Definitely not stop gaming,
Speaker 1: nol no, let me see here. Sophie Cobal says, Double
Speaker 1: Indemnity best film, noir movie ever, beautiful movie, dramatic and sultry.
Speaker 1: You know, sulture, you say. Maddie Baldwin says, something like
Speaker 1: a hot first black and white movie I ever saw.
Speaker 1: Amaze me how much it just sucked me into the
Speaker 1: point where I didn't even notice. Yeah, it's interesting. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think he necessarily means this. Maddie doesn't,
Speaker 1: but um, I think some people are turned off by
Speaker 1: black and white films. I don't think a ton of people,
Speaker 1: but I know some people are like, it didn't even
Speaker 1: bother me or something that it was black and white,
Speaker 1: and like, oh, what do you mean bother you? It's great,
Speaker 1: that's weird. Yeah, I mean, it's it's such a you know,
Speaker 1: it's obviously a um difference, you know, you have to
Speaker 1: shoot differently, like youah, Like the lighting has to it's
Speaker 1: a certain look and it requires a lot more like
Speaker 1: depth than something about it, Like it has to be
Speaker 1: done really masterfully to to look right and not look flat. Um,
Speaker 1: Casey Pegram would be a good person to talk about,
Speaker 1: like the craft behind shooting in black and white and
Speaker 1: like what you know what that takes versus shooting in color. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, now, I don't. I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: drawback at all. I think you can actually, like really
Speaker 1: to be a powerful tool, as we know a lot
Speaker 1: of like modern films make that choice on purpose. Are
Speaker 1: you talking about your penis again? Absolutely? Always? I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Everyone's apologize. I don't know why I'm being so silly.
Speaker 1: You are being so crashed today, Chuck, Well, he's a
Speaker 1: powerful tool. Come on, I didn't. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: what you were talking about. I didn't even catch that.
Speaker 1: I'm like what I was talking about the craft of
Speaker 1: filmmaking and Chara Scorel lighting, I know, And I'm just
Speaker 1: crass over here. I'm feeling very childish. I love it, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I love this energy. So Joe Burns, one of Earl
Speaker 1: pal says, The Man who Wasn't There one of my
Speaker 1: favorite Cohen Brothers film and underrated too. I agree, my
Speaker 1: friend and I haven't seen that one a long time,
Speaker 1: but it'll be coming up on our film series with
Speaker 1: Ben Harrison soon enough. You haven't seen The Man who
Speaker 1: Wasn't There? No, I haven't seen it since it came out.
Speaker 1: Oh Got, you got? You got? It's the one time
Speaker 1: it I don't know, I never I don't remember ever
Speaker 1: seeing that come out in theaters. I was first made
Speaker 1: aware of it on DVD, which is funny because I mean,
Speaker 1: I was very aware of Going Brothers, but that one
Speaker 1: seems to have gotten a less wide release maybe or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, there wasn't a video game tie in,
Speaker 1: so and I am talking about uh and and it's
Speaker 1: wide release. H my god? What has happened here? We
Speaker 1: have turned a corner to the last last episode, last
Speaker 1: episode ever. Well, according to our iTunes reviews, the show
Speaker 1: should have ended a long time ago, So really are they?
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, Chuck? I I do it a little rabbit
Speaker 1: hole of iTunes reviews sometimes and I very cathartically from
Speaker 1: my own mental health post the bad ones that call
Speaker 1: me out by name on my Instagram story just so
Speaker 1: people can comment and say nice things. That's funny. But
Speaker 1: there was literally one that was like, oh you'll love
Speaker 1: this one, chuck. It was frozen for the shows for
Speaker 1: ridiculous issue with someone was like, really enjoyed the show.
Speaker 1: But lately it seems like Knowles developed an attitude unsubscribed
Speaker 1: And did you say I haven't developed an attitude fuck
Speaker 1: you exactly. Well, that's the thing about iTunes, because you
Speaker 1: can't clap back, man, you can't back. You just get
Speaker 1: clapped on. Oh God, bless him. Well, you know what.
Speaker 1: And all we have our our listeners here who love
Speaker 1: us and who depend on us each week to be
Speaker 1: silly and talk about movies and and that's all I
Speaker 1: care about totally. Everyone everyone else can get bent. Absolutely
Speaker 1: all I care about it these movie crusher and my family.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy how much response you get when you
Speaker 1: post these things. I'm always blown away by the level
Speaker 1: of thoughtfulness and just charm and their lovely, lovely humans.
Speaker 1: Lovely you know. I agree. We're gonna go with Jason. Wow.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could just have one name on Facebook,
Speaker 1: I guess, So did you know that have you ever
Speaker 1: seen one? Namer I don't know how you do that.
Speaker 1: It usually makes you fill in all the fields. Hey,
Speaker 1: Jason found a work around. He goes with ed Wood
Speaker 1: and the third Man Boy. I agree with both of those.
Speaker 1: Edward is you know we talked about that with Alex
Speaker 1: on this show. The photography in that movie is top notch.
Speaker 1: Amanda Caroen, one of our old friends, says, rear window
Speaker 1: to capture so much in so little space, why do
Speaker 1: I think that rear window was not black and white? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking maybe wasn't either. I've definitely seen it,
Speaker 1: but it's been a long time. It's not black and
Speaker 1: white and all. It's cola dang it. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna forgive that because it feels like it could
Speaker 1: have been black and white. Amanda. It does feel that
Speaker 1: way in your mind, and maybe your memories are starting
Speaker 1: black and white, you know. Yeah. And she actually had
Speaker 1: a couple of folks top fan Martin Kid and Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lewis also said so it's in color, and Martin even
Speaker 1: used the British spelling of color. So you know, he's right.
Speaker 1: You don't throw that you in there unless you're pretty sure.
Speaker 1: I chatted quite extensively last night with a listener from
Speaker 1: the U K from nodding him and it was really cool.
Speaker 1: We talked about politics and stuff, and he gave me
Speaker 1: a great nickname that the Brits used for their prime minister.
Speaker 1: They call him Bojo Bojo Bojo the Bozo. Probably exactly
Speaker 1: what should we call our president Noel? Mr? Mr President?
Speaker 1: Fucking fucking idiot. I don't know, boy, he seems to
Speaker 1: just be content to take this down in flames. I mean,
Speaker 1: I look, I almost am like done even talking about it.
Speaker 1: It's just I just I'm ready to just see what happens.
Speaker 1: But also, like god, what if he doesn't abdicate throne,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? What if he loses and
Speaker 1: then he like won't leave. I just can't picture him graciously,
Speaker 1: you know, conceding anything. Ever. That's because that's literally impossible.
Speaker 1: No Um, I think he will either drop out beforehand,
Speaker 1: if the writings on the wall, or he will lose
Speaker 1: and claim voter fraud and try and get courts involved.
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, why are we talking politics? We're not.
Speaker 1: People didn't come here for politics. They came here for
Speaker 1: for for crushing all right, let's keep crushing Schindler's list.
Speaker 1: This is from Amy. Oh boy, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: love this name. But Nini Schindler's by far been reading
Speaker 1: so many good books about World War Two lately. It
Speaker 1: all breaks my heart. Yeah, Amy, I'm with you there.
Speaker 1: And it's it's there's that one little splash of color
Speaker 1: with the little girl's dress where you see her in
Speaker 1: the pile or you see her throughout the movie a
Speaker 1: couple of times, and then you see her in the
Speaker 1: in the pile at the end. Really creative. Oh I'm
Speaker 1: actually getting shivers just thinking about it. That that was
Speaker 1: a very powerful movie. It's so funny. You think of
Speaker 1: Spielberg sometimes as being this like temp pole kind of
Speaker 1: you know, shock it aw kind of like, but he's
Speaker 1: he's very thoughtful, Like he's so thoughtful and great at framing,
Speaker 1: and just like he's just everything about him is you know,
Speaker 1: I think he gets not shipped on but like just
Speaker 1: you know, unfairly considered like just so mainstream. But he
Speaker 1: really is very creative in his in his filmmaking, very adept. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and beyond that, he's uh, sure he does his Ready
Speaker 1: Player once, but he also does Amistade and Munich and
Speaker 1: Schindler's List and color Purple and Lincoln like he's he's
Speaker 1: got a he's got a hard on for history. Nol
Speaker 1: Is what I'm saying, was Munich pretty good and I
Speaker 1: didn't see Munich. Muni is great, totally totally good and
Speaker 1: uh very Uh you know. The the story that it's
Speaker 1: about is the Munich Olympics. Yeah, and it's about these
Speaker 1: well I won't tell you, but it's very taught, like
Speaker 1: a taught political thriller. I think I'm gonna try to
Speaker 1: find it, uh this evening and need a movie, Chuck.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it's crazy yours. Your skype is
Speaker 1: like about a minute behind your audio. It's like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm paying attention now and I'm seeing you react
Speaker 1: like maybe twenty seconds, but it's it's it's very jarring. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's kind of great though, So are you able to
Speaker 1: follow the conversation? Absolutely? I mean, it's just yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just funny because I've never seen this happen before. So
Speaker 1: the audio is in sync, but the videos off the
Speaker 1: video is like literally like fifteen seconds ish behind, so
Speaker 1: I'll hear you say something and then I'll see you
Speaker 1: say it. Oh god, stop, you're doing it on purpose
Speaker 1: now now I'm just working with everyone making these big
Speaker 1: broad expressions. Alright. Top fan and old friend Harper Smith says,
Speaker 1: frances hah, not an oldie but a goodie. Yeah, Francis
Speaker 1: has great. Okay, that's another one I need to put
Speaker 1: on my list. I've always I really loved Bomboch, but
Speaker 1: I have not. I haven't seen enough of his work.
Speaker 1: I really loved The Squid in the Whale um, and
Speaker 1: I saw Greenberg. Didn't heed you Greenberg? Yeah? And I
Speaker 1: saw one other that I quite enjoyed kicking and screaming.
Speaker 1: Was that his first one? I like that one a
Speaker 1: lot too, But I have not seen Francis ha. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: it's great. People seem to love it. Yeah, it's really
Speaker 1: really good. Andrew Clayton mentions one of my favorite favorite movies,
Speaker 1: Jim Jarmers is Down by Law, wonderful film. John Michael says,
Speaker 1: is it cheating to say clerks? Now? It's not black
Speaker 1: and white? Everyone? That doesn't mean old totally. We talked
Speaker 1: about that from the from the start. Someone also said,
Speaker 1: as young Frankenstein cheating, I'm like, no, these aren't cheats.
Speaker 1: There's no cheating black and white. There's no cheating in
Speaker 1: movie Crush. The only cheater was rear window. That's well yeah.
Speaker 1: Another vote for down by Law from Bonnie lie Brook.

Speaker 1: of our oldest of friends. I haven't seen that yet.
Speaker 1: I need to check that out. Oh, under the Cherry Moon,
Speaker 1: remember that Prince. That's the real bad one, right. It's
Speaker 1: not great, but Tammy Fillmore likes it, and she posted
Speaker 1: a great gift of Prince looking sexy as hell. He
Speaker 1: is a sexy man. He certainly was wash one might
Speaker 1: even one might even say a sexy motherfucker. I would,
Speaker 1: he certainly would. He's referring to himself, though he's referring
Speaker 1: to some object of his desire. M hmm, are you
Speaker 1: talking about your penis again? God damn it. Chuck the
Speaker 1: Danger of and Gail kints as the Elephant Man. I've

Speaker 1: was that with our boy Jimmy Stewart. Roman Holiday was
Speaker 1: Oh wait, now I'm blanking. I want to say Gregory
Speaker 1: know what Gregory Peck? Was it? I know it was.
Speaker 1: It's Audrey Hepburn. Is that the one they go on
Speaker 1: the holiday in Rome? It is Gregory Peck? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was right, Ah, yes, the Peck it's it's when they
Speaker 1: go to Hawaii for for work. It has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with vacation or Rome. Got it. You're kidding me, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you're kidding me. You're pulling my leg. Let me see here.
Speaker 1: Jackie Warren just sup posted a gift of Betty Davis
Speaker 1: from What's the She didn't even put the movie title, Um,
Speaker 1: Baby Jane? Whatever happened to Baby Jane? I think that's
Speaker 1: the name of it. That's a creeps movie. Oh. I
Speaker 1: always thought just from the name that it sounded like
Speaker 1: real charming and cute. No, Baby Jane, Man, whatever happened
Speaker 1: to Baby Jane? It is a very disturbing movie, psychological
Speaker 1: horror film with Betty Davis and Joan Crawford. Plot concerns
Speaker 1: an aging former actress who holds her paraplegic X movie
Speaker 1: star sister captive in an old Hollywood mansion. Does that
Speaker 1: sound like a Romp Knoll? It doesn't. And it looks
Speaker 1: to there's some kind of doll. Wow, this looks like
Speaker 1: some Gray Gardens ship man. This is yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. I've seen a bunch of clips
Speaker 1: over the years from various retrospectives. But uh, and I
Speaker 1: know Betty Davis just just destroys it in this movie
Speaker 1: as a top notch psychopath. And this is her kind
Speaker 1: of like later in life a little bit. She looks
Speaker 1: like a little more she has been around the book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they may have aged her up a bit. I can
Speaker 1: see that too, but it's it looks, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: she's really just leaning into this like weird Hollywood kind
Speaker 1: of former ingenue, kind of bitter old lady kind of situation.
Speaker 1: I gotta see this. I am fascinated by this. Uh.
Speaker 1: Here's a great one from Jeff Clark, The Last Picture
Speaker 1: Show from the great great Peter Bogdanovich. What a film
Speaker 1: so good? Uh, and then let's finish up here with
Speaker 1: a couple more a new film and all that you
Speaker 1: just watched again. The Lighthouse that's from Wesley Hall. Dude,
Speaker 1: it's so good, stunning photography. It's unreal. And we talked
Speaker 1: about this, actually we did a we did a brown
Speaker 1: table with with Casey and Um. We were talking about
Speaker 1: how they used these vintage lenses. UM, and it has
Speaker 1: that square aspect ratio, you know, because they wanted to
Speaker 1: like lean The director, Robert Eggers, wanted to lean into
Speaker 1: that claustrophobic kind of feel. Totally works, It's totally rastic.
Speaker 1: I want to see that again. I don't think I'll
Speaker 1: be able to get Emily on board. No, I don't
Speaker 1: think that will be It's really funny though, Chuck. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just if she's into acting, why why wouldn't she
Speaker 1: be into it. It's not really a horror exactly. It's
Speaker 1: more of a but the just it's just movies that
Speaker 1: cause induce a lot of anxiety. She's just not download that.
Speaker 1: I can understand that. Especially now. All right now, we're
Speaker 1: gonna finish up with a little stream this I've been watching,
Speaker 1: you know. We we finished finally, I don't think I'll
Speaker 1: let you know. We finished Ozark and um, Jesus, time
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, ending, it's an ending. I actually saw
Speaker 1: coming that very last bit. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: We don't want to spoil it for anybody. Please check
Speaker 1: out the show. It's so good. I kind of called
Speaker 1: that one. And then we started we needed something lighter. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we did. We started Dead to
Speaker 1: Me season two, which we like, but um, it was
Speaker 1: a little a little stressful, and Emily was just like,
Speaker 1: you know what I think I really need because we
Speaker 1: had such a good time with our red Oaks relaxation,
Speaker 1: She's like, I need to go back to something funny,
Speaker 1: and so we started What we Do in the Shadows.
Speaker 1: Very funny, cute, great, great, great great. I watched a
Speaker 1: couple episodes of it a while back and need to
Speaker 1: get back into it. Is that on FX or something
Speaker 1: isn't it or it is f xere streaming. I'm streaming
Speaker 1: it on Hulu and I'm gonna plug. I'm gonna plug.
Speaker 1: Hodgman he uh, he's got a new show coming out.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the name. Hold on and I'll say
Speaker 1: something interesting. Um, I have been rewatching Key and Peel
Speaker 1: and it may I didn't really realize this at the time, Um,
Speaker 1: but after you know, obviously Jordan Peels fantastic horror. I
Speaker 1: guess work with it is horror satire. It's got comedy,
Speaker 1: but it's straight up, you know, tense horror. You can
Speaker 1: see the seeds of that and a lot of early
Speaker 1: Key and Peel sketches. There's a lot of like, you know,
Speaker 1: anxiety and kind of like you know, um maccawb kind
Speaker 1: of characters and stuff and like, uh, he's you can
Speaker 1: really kind of I wonder what that production was like,
Speaker 1: like if he was really hands on with leading that
Speaker 1: or like you know, the way that he wanted to
Speaker 1: frame things up, or the style they were going for.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he you know, he wasn't credited
Speaker 1: as a director, but I gotta think that like it's
Speaker 1: also intentional. I mean, honestly, Key and Peel, I think
Speaker 1: it is probably the highest production value sketch comedy show
Speaker 1: ever of all time. Like each yeah, now that their
Speaker 1: stuff was great, because you're right, not only was it
Speaker 1: just all funny. I mean that show was so funny, um,
Speaker 1: and their character work was so fucking creative and great.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it looked awesome and it doesn't often. Yeah
Speaker 1: in the world of super super cinematic. Yeah, I totally agree. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Hodgeman and David Reese. Uh, one of my old
Speaker 1: pals to David did the TV show Going Deep with
Speaker 1: David Reese and UM met him through John He's uh
Speaker 1: he wrote a book about pencil sharpening. Uh. David's just
Speaker 1: a great guy, very funny, uh and and a good dude.
Speaker 1: So they have a show that they did, an animated
Speaker 1: show called Dicktown and it is uh the premises it
Speaker 1: is an aging boy detective and his aging bully partner.
Speaker 1: So I think Encyclopedia Brown grows up and his he's
Speaker 1: still solving crimes in his town, and his partner in
Speaker 1: crime now or partner in solving these crimes would be
Speaker 1: the bugs mini character all and up. His former bully
Speaker 1: is now his like assistant partner, and I think Hodgeman
Speaker 1: voices the character, and I believe David might as well.
Speaker 1: And it is premiering July nine on f X f
Speaker 1: x X is Cake and I think Cake is like
Speaker 1: a a compilation of of animated things, and it's premiering
Speaker 1: on Cake. It's like a animation compilation. If I'm not mistaken, God,
Speaker 1: that was all of the things you just said was
Speaker 1: a mouthful. F x X is Cake an animation compilation?
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Yes, that's the deal. So check
Speaker 1: out Dicktown on f f x X starting July nine.
Speaker 1: Keep wanting to say it's hard, it's really not. I'm
Speaker 1: just a dummy. No, no, don't, don't beat yourself up, Chuck.
Speaker 1: I think it might have those guys on to help
Speaker 1: promote their show and do a little maybe do a
Speaker 1: mini crush type of thing with them at some point.
Speaker 1: Good dudes, support John Hodgman and David Reeve, everybody. I
Speaker 1: love his voice work. He was he played the dad
Speaker 1: in Coral Line, which I really love that movie. And
Speaker 1: he does a good job of this kind of kind
Speaker 1: of goofy, deadpan kind of dad voice, and he's great
Speaker 1: and everything he does, he's just I like that he
Speaker 1: gets to kind of be himself. He talked about this too.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like exactly have to put on a voice
Speaker 1: or do a character. He just kind of it's me
Speaker 1: John Hodgman, and that voice just works because it's so
Speaker 1: you know, singular, that's right, all right, No, I got
Speaker 1: nothing else for this week? Are you good? I'm good man?
