WEBVTT - Mini Crush #17 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:28.680 Hello, everybody, Welcome to movie Crush Many Crush a dish. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.479 I'm in the captain seat. Nol Is behind me. Is 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:39.640 my my Steward? No Steward, huh that my first mate. Okay, 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.360 I'll say Kim Steward's cool. That's like a Game of 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.040 Thrones thing. That's uh yeah, they're the ones who attend 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:48.080 to the generals and of the king. Okay, I'll tell 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.519 that sounds good. That sounds good. That makes me the king, 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:51.680 though I don't want to be the king. You can 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.760 be whatever you want. Shock, it's uh, it's Hollywood. How 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.360 other be the Queen? Have you seen the Queen trailer? 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.680 The Queen the Freddie Mercury movie? No, No, but he 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.480 that guy's got an uncanny resemblance. You haven't seen the 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.480 teaser yet? Are you avoiding it or didn't? Right? It 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.040 was dropped yesterday, And I gotta tell you, man, I 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:17.080 am a huge Queen fan, a Freddie Mercury like he 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.360 for My money is one of the top maybe three 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:26.000 all time greatest performers. Shuman and um Love Love Love 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.240 That band and the trailer got me excited. But I 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.960 just think it's gonna suck. You think it's gonna suck. 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.640 I think it's gonna look great and sound great, but 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.400 you know, famously, Sasha Baron Cohen left the film because 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.360 they weren't going to tell the real story. Yeah, I 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.160 heard they were gonna leave it. We're gonna whitewash it, 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.200 and we're gonna whitewash it. And I don't want to 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.120 see that version. I want to see the real deal. 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.560 And I think the movie even I think a lot 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.760 of the movie doesn't have Freddie Mercury, and that's how 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.560 the band carried on after his passing. Interesting, it makes 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.440 sense to that. I mean, like I said, Rommy Malick 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.960 uncanny resemblance, and I'm sure he does a fine job, 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.360 but he does strike me as like he's more of 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.920 a TV guy. They could probably push him around a 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.760 little more, and he was. He was just stoked to 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.040 play such an iconic role, and he wasn't. He looks 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.520 this trailer. He looks great in it, and I know 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.880 it will look great and sound great, but ultimately I 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:22.000 think it'll be another kind of lame movie biopic. You 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.800 know what, I don't care about what biopics at all. Ever, 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.800 never want to see him. You don't really care about him? No, hu, Yeah, 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.720 what's a good one? Give me a good one? Oh well, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.040 I mean I certainly loved Walk the Line the Johnny 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.720 Cash movie. Yeah, I preferred Walk Hard the Dewey Cox story. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.200 All right, let's get going. Let's get going this week 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.200 with the trope time. My favorite segment is it. It's 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.639 I like the mom but this is a good one. 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.520 I don't know if I've been overdoing troupe time, but 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.640 who cares? Right, So we're gonna pick up on my 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.240 internet list, and then once this list is out, people, 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.040 I'm gonna start calling on you. But we're gonna start 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.520 with the un The interrupted kiss such a trope. The 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:12.760 music swells, they're looking to each other's eyes. Almost there, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.560 and then hey, guys, then it's saves the clock tower 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.280 or whatever it is. Yeah, that's right, that was That 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400 was last night. I'm sorry I watched Back to the 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.640 Future last night. You're like, that happened to me last night. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.280 I gotta kiss interrupted. Yeah, that's a very famous one, 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.160 obviously when she shakes that can in their but yeah, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.840 very very heavy, heavily used trope. The one in Um 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:41.360 Infinity War is is awesome with star Lord and and 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.760 go mora and then uh and then dracks Tracks has 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.520 gotta eats a chip and then it cuts over to him. Man, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.840 it's good, very good moment, all right. Next one is 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.720 the keys or in the visor. Have you ever known 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.680 anyone that kept their car keys in the visor? Maybe 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.760 like in the seventies, I don't know, really was that 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.320 a thing? I don't know, man, I'm asking you. You 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.840 were around the seventies, So thanks for pointing that out. Um, yeah, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.240 I don't know. Why not. I mean, just leave me 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.840 in the ignition. If you're gonna leave in the visor, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.560 it just seems like a very irresponsible thing to do. Yeah, 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.440 but it's it's become such a movie thing that. Um, 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.680 people when they get in the car, sometimes they're not 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.240 in the visor, but you know, they're frantically get in 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.680 the car and they look at the butt in the visor. First, 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.640 my my thing is, why why not put him in 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.359 your pocket? Why why leave him in the car? And 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.279 ever ever, when when is that ever like the better 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.720 solution to leave them in the car? Yeah, or hide 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.159 them in the car. That is certainly not a hiding place. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.120 Put him in one of those rocks, those fake rocks. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.880 I don't know. Well, the funny thing is is we're 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:49.440 also conditioned by films. If I were in a dangerous 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.480 situation and I jumped in some random car, I would 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.960 probably look at the visor, probably just out of sheer, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.480 you know, movie embedding movies into my brain. At the 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.040 same time, like a jerk, I'll hide my key under 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.360 the doormat occasionally. Well that's a trope only if it's 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.200 for somebody Specifically. I wouldn't, that wouldn't be like the 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.560 regular place. But if I and someone needs my key, 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.800 I'm just gonna show that under the doormat. Really not 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.360 even the plants are pot all right, I deserve to 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.040 get robbed. Key under the mant That's another good one. Truly, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.680 No one really hides their key into the match, No 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.520 I I do. I'm I'm being I'm telling the truth, Chuck. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.000 That was That's a thing that I do. But I mean, 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.000 nobody would do that, right, No, just a just a 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.640 jerk like me. All right, here's the trope that's been 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.000 troped up so many times now it has been made 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.080 fun of. That's when you know you've truly troped the trope. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:43.720 The baby carriage in the street, My baby with with 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.960 the car chase happening, like that's the opening scene of 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.240 Ghostbusters too. Oh yeah, sure, big time. I think it 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.760 was already a trope at that point, and they're almost 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.599 making fun of it in Ghostbusters too. Yeah, And I 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.240 don't know, I should have should have done some search 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.480 and found the if there are first times for these tropes, 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.839 like the Origin, the O G, the O T. But 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.160 of clearly in Fringe Connection, one of the great car 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.800 chases of all time. Uh, there's a baby carriage and 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.600 that one. And I have even a joke in here 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.360 on the blog post. The Pew Research Center found that 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.280 of women walking babies and a stroller had a sixty 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.359 seven percent chance of narrowly missing being squashed by a 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.960 car chase. It's a real pole man. I don't like 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.200 those odds, my baby. And then, of course in some 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:40.240 movies it's been either made fun of or was its speed? 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.760 Were they hit the baby carriage and it turned out 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.560 it was like recycling it's full of cans. It was like, yeah, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.680 it was like a homeless ladies and she got she 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.400 was mad, been collecting those cans all day. Yeah, And 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:54.960 everyone was like, oh, thank god, it wasn't a baby, 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.360 but no one was like, oh, I feel bad, we 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.200 just ruined that, ladies, SERI, yeah, I know that that 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.680 that that was actually a pretty clever use of that trope. 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.120 And yeah, because the tensions there and then you never 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.840 expected to hit, and then it hits, and then there's this, yeah, 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.920 get busted. Couldn't show down. I'm trying to find it 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:17.200 on the online. I'm typing in Runaway Baby Carriage. Um, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.200 I'm not I'm coming up short, but I'm sure. Well, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.520 maybe we'll report back on that. That's it. I think 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.120 that would be a fun thing to add to these 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:28.240 the original trope. I agree, Um, all right, how about 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.720 this telephones Emily were commented last night while we were 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:37.760 watching something, Uh die Hard, Actually no one ever says 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.200 hello and goodbye on the telephone in films. It's become 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.480 such a thing. It's just a film thing. That's the 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.000 way people act in movies. Uh, you just don't do it, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.680 especially goodbye. Well, actually both kind of equally, And it's 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.040 just I think it's become such a thing that it 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:59.160 would seem really odd if in the film someone picked 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.080 up the phone and said hello, well, hey, how are 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:06.200 you doing, and then had their conversation and said, okay, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.400 well i'll talk to you later then goodbye, now goodbye. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.720 You just don't do it. I mean, part of it 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.240 is the economy of words for films, I think. So 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.760 maybe that's why, like you don't need to say hello 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.520 and goodbye in a movie to get that you're on 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.160 the phone. And they always kind of tell you the 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:26.400 screenwriter to get rid of all that superfluous shit. But uh, yeah, 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.480 it's a little rude. Yeah you ever noticed too, there's 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.120 very rarely a dial tone when people pick up the 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.079 phone in movies or like the way phones work, it's 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.600 sort of just a movie way right, sort of like 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.920 early depictions of being on the internet. Yeah, yeah, or 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.480 you know another trope actually with that dial tone is 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.000 the hang up on someone like you didn't get a 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.360 dial tone, that's I'm sorry, you know what, That's exactly 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.319 what I'm thinking, chuck, exactly, I'm on the phone. It 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.400 would go, yep, that is that is not how that didn't. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.480 I know, all your kids out there you have no 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.760 idea what a dialtone even is. But in the old days, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.600 when you pick up a phone, uh, you would hear 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.800 a dial tone before you started dialing. They just needed 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.559 an extra layer of this person definitely hung up, even 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.200 though it makes absolutely. I just looked it up on 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.760 on there's a video in old movies. Why the dial 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.280 tone after someone hangs up? It's definitely it's on. There's 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.720 a there's a site actually called movie tropes dot com 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:28.760 that that catalogs a lot of stuff. Yeah, that's well. 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.880 And while I'm on that, I just gotta pair of binoculars. 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:36.720 And uh, Emily could not. She she can't work binoculars right. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.839 She can never get it right. And I'm telling him, like, 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.440 you can. You don't put them right up, agintry, eyeball, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.599 you gotta hold them out a little bit. And we 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.240 figured out the problem is that she is looking for 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:53.040 the classic movie binocular look, which is two round uh 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.520 you know, two round things joined together, and that is 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.800 not how binoculars work. It becomes one, one becomes one thing. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.440 And she went really and she was like, I've never 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.920 had a binocular experience that worked. Because of that, I said, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.400 because the movies. Probably she's trying to make it look 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.959 like that thing in movies to signify you're looking through binoculars. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.960 That's fine. We just discovered a trope. Noll um, how 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.920 about a couple of more here, we've got never turn 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.920 your back on the dead guy or the bad guy. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:27.120 I mean that one's that's a super trope. I feel 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.559 like it's been done so many times in horror movies 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.560 and action films. They're never dead, They're never dead. They're 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:37.000 never dead. Yeah, even like after that's happened a couple 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:41.240 of times already, they're still they're probably never dead. I 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.040 heard to watch it last night, as I just said, Um, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.439 you know, Carl is hung from the neck by a chain, 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.240 and in real time, probably ten minutes later, he's alive. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:58.160 He's just imbued with the power of evil keeps him going. Uh. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:05.960 And finally, the the kung fu fight, not always kung fu, 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:11.840 but whenever it's one on ten, they always kind of 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.960 fight one guy at a time. Every time I see 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.120 a movie fight where it's like eight or nine guys 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.520 against the one guy and they do like one at 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.080 a time and he turns and fights the other guy, 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.760 I'm always like, everybody run at him. Well, they just 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.800 want to give their buddies a chance to shine chuck 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.400 show off their sweet moves, and the other guys are 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.760 just kind of standing there like, all right, when's it 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.280 my turn? When's it my turn? No, just everyone run 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.720 at him, beat up on him, and beat him the ship. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.600 That would be more efficient. It's true, all right, that's 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.320 it for troupe time. It's funny that a lot of 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:41.840 these things chuck that you say this stuff and you 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.280 look at the movie and you said, why didn't they 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:44.880 do this? I'm like I said, if they didn't do this, 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.960 there'd be no scene. Everything would have ended in five minutes. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.160 All right, I'm gonna skip this segment because we are 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.319 running short on time today and I will go straight 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:08.920 to stream this Captain fantastic. Did you see it? Loved it? 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.600 I think we talked about a little bit and Emily 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.440 and I might actually do a crust to judgment on 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.360 this one soon, so I'm not gonna get too into 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.240 it here. But uh, I feel like I picked this 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.120 one because I feel like it was underseen in two 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.760 thousand sixteen, written and directed by the actor Matt Ross, 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:30.280 who many of you probably know as the leader of 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.360 Huli in UH Silicon Valley. He was also the creepy 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:41.120 brother in Big Love, Yeah Yep, and UH, one of 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.880 the American Psycho years ago he was in that. Um. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.640 So it turns out Matt Ross is super talented as 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.880 a writer and director because he wrote this movie starring 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:55.920 Vigo Mortenson as a father raising his children. Is his 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.640 pack of kids, uh, in the woods and in the 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.679 y old and teaching them, homeschooling them and teaching them 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.840 to hunt and fish and live off the land and 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:13.480 grow organic foods and farm. And they're incredibly intelligent and 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:19.000 be communists. Uh maybe anarch gets communists. But it's just 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:24.040 a wonderful movie, so much heart so real. I think 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.480 Vigo got nominated for Best Actor. Actually, so it did 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.760 get a little bit of kudos. But criminally underseeing to 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:36.120 me and a very very touching, heartwarming and sad and 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:40.359 and also uplifting film for sure. Yeah, I I I 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.680 knew very little about it. I went in cold and 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.599 it just it got me. Yeah. And it also like it. 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.319 You think it's gonna do a thing. It's a little 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.439 bit schmaltsey and cliche, and it doesn't do it. It 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.840 really does a good job of kind of subverting your 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.040 expectations and um, you come out on the other side. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.320 It sort of puts you through the ring, but you 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.720 still come out with this kind of cathartic experience, but 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.520 doesn't do it in like a sappy, saccharine kind of way. Yeah, 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.360 totally agree, So check it out everyone. Like I said, 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.360 Emily and I might do a crush to judgment on 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.240 that because we recently watched it and loved it so 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.760 so much. And then finally we're gonna finish up with 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:21.120 comic cardinal five questions from you folks to us, Ben 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.200 masters one of my favorite questions in a while, very 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.080 succinct Streets of Fire or Eddie and the Cruisers. Do 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.640 you even know what I'm talking about? All right? Ben 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.120 is clearly a man of my age. These were two 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.920 movies in the nineteen eighties that came out kind of 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.560 near each other that really aren't very similar other than 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:44.080 the fact that they feel similar somehow, but they really aren't. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.280 But somehow they're linked in my mind. I am just 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.640 gonna straight up answer this Eddie and the Cruisers and Ben. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.560 I was such a fan of that film that I 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.960 bought the record soundtrack, and I actually saw John Cafferty 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.080 and the Beaver Brown ba And in concert when I 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.920 was a good and they provided the music they played, 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.600 They did the music as the real band of the 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.440 fictional Eddie and the Cruisers in the film, and they 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.560 had a big hit. One of their one of those songs, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.920 on the Dark Side was a legit I think probably 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.080 top ten hit. I didn't look that up, but uh yeah, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.720 good stuff. The Beaver Wet Band John Cafferty and the 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.840 Beaver Brown mand Nice really not a good name, but 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.840 that's what they're most well known for. Checkout Eddie and 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.160 the Cruisers. I think you would dig that. Who's in it? 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.480 It's Michael Perey plays Eddie and he was in a 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.600 band in the guess sixties or fifties called Eddie and 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.000 the Cruisers who and he disappeared, he vanished, And the 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.920 movie jumps back in time from the from the modern day, 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.600 one of the guys in the band telling the story 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.560 and trying to find Eddie and then telling the story 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.920 of of being in this band that really got super popular, 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.120 and then what happened to Eddie and what what Streets 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.640 of Fire and why are they related? Well, Streets of 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:05.880 Fire was around the same era, but if I'm not mistaken, 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:12.720 it was sort of a post apocalyptic thing. Um, And 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.200 I think they're related because Michael Perey is in both 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.240 of them, quite honestly, and they both came out kind 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.240 of around the same time. But other than that, they 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.360 really have nothing to do with one another. The poster 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.000 for Streets of Fire looks very much like The Warriors 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:30.200 or something. Yeah, but it's like a post apocalyptic Warriors 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.360 or like a Mad Max ish kind of thing. Yeah. 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:36.200 Directed by the great Walter Hill, So certainly we're checking 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.200 out as well. But yeah, that's probably why they're length 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.000 of Michael Peree for sure. He was great. Man. Megan 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.760 Broil's what's your favorite Robert Altman film? I'm not gonna 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.640 name one, Megan, because it's just too hard for me. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:54.320 So I'm gonna say the Player shortcuts Nashville, and believe 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.440 it or not, I'm gonna throw in Popeye. That's like 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.400 a musical, right it is? And it is. Doesn't Harry 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.280 Nilsen do the music for that? Maybe I think he does. 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.439 It was widely panned, but um, I was a huge 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.200 fan of that movie as a kid, and it still 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.359 holds a place in my heart. And as far as 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.040 creating a world of like a comic book cartoony world 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.280 and making it real life and the casting, um it 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.080 didn't get any better the world he created, and Robin 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.439 and Williams is Popeye and Shelley Davallo's Olive Oil. I 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.520 mean it was all on point to me. Um, plot wise, 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.919 maybe that's where it falls apart. But I love that 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.480 movie when I was a kid. Robin Williams has those 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.560 ridiculous swollen biceps too. They just like the Yeah, well 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.360 that was just you know, a prosthetic. Yeah. No, I'm 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.199 just saying it's just like it's it's comical. Yeah, how 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.679 much they tried to do that, dude, I love that 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.160 movie so much when I was a kid that I want. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.240 I tried to figure out a way to do that 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.080 for Halloween and I could not figure it out. Yeah, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.119 I don't know how what would be a d i 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.200 y way to do that. I don't know. I'm sure 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.879 these days, like maybe some sort of they probably have 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.560 applications now they would make it easier. It's funny. Um. Yeah. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.199 Harry Neilson did do the soundtrack, and Pitchfork gave the 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:12.280 reissue of it an eight point oh so totes, coming 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.920 back into favor with the with the hipster record review scene. Um, 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.960 you know what I watched, I watched the flint Stones 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.840 movie with my kids. I never saw that it's not good, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.800 although it did the first one. The first one, it 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.240 does look cool though, like the dinosaurs and all the 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.640 dinosaurs mowing the lawn and all the stuff from the cartoon. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.400 It looks great, but it like has this plot involving 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:39.159 like embezzlement and like corporate fraud. The problems with some 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:40.760 of those movies is like we can create it and 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.400 look cool, but like, oh the story, yeah, but it's 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.360 just like is this for kids? Who is this four? 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.600 But it did, it did well. Um, it's about embezzlement. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:19:00.520 It's about embezzlement topic. It's very strange. Nicole Park says, 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:06.760 which movie defines your childhood? Um, as much as ET 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.560 was up there, I probably would say Empire Strikes Back 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.000 or Raiders of the Lost Ark. Those were two big 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.760 ease for me when I was just at that right age. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.359 Maybe war games too. I was really deep into those. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:25.480 Um Don Bluth animated films like um, The Secret of 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.680 Nim and Land Before Time and American Tale and all that. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.840 Any of those. Yeah, they're the really bummer ones. They're 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:37.359 all like sadder than Disney and way more intense, like, uh, 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.440 you know, there's what all Dogs go to Heaven, where 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.800 like they literally go to hell and there's a demon 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.879 dog thing, and those movies kind of messed me up 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.360 when I was a kid, but I have a very 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.280 distinct memory of seeing a lot of those in the theater, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.840 and um that's a very kind of time and place. 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.600 Childhood movie memory for me is all those movies. You know, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.879 I think our ages are compliment each other well for 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.480 the show, because we're just far enough for part where 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.720 we had some different ship as as our our kids stuff, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.600 you know, because all the all the stuff was I 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:10.439 was like in high school, so I was not going 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.800 to see American Tale, yeah, I mean, but I also 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.120 remember seeing et on VHS. Well yeah, you know, and 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.000 uh all all those um you know, the Indiana joneses. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.960 I do remember renting the Indiana Jones movies and being 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.679 like there they were PG or something and it's like 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.040 the guy in the Temple of Doom, dude gets his 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.399 heart ripped out, and I was like, how is this? Well, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.880 I believe Temple of Doom was the movie that uh 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.320 spurred one of two movies that spurred the PG thirteen ratings. 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.760 I'm not mistaken because Back to the Future, which I 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.520 watched the other night. Um, a lot of swearing and 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.080 it's it's it's p g a lot of like pretty 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:54.880 adult talk. Yeah, yeah, totally. Kevin Herban or Airben says, 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.680 a blind person just had their site restored, what movie 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:02.800 do you suggest they see first? What a great question. Um, obviously, Kevin, 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.199 you would think you would lean towards something like a 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.919 piece for the eyes, and I did. And so I'm 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.840 gonna give two answers, one animated and one just straight 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.879 up film. I'm gonna say Coco, even though it's super recent, because, 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.400 and I've said it before, maybe the most visually, um 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.800 fantastic film I've ever seen in my life. Unbelievable. Yeah, No, 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.280 it's it's insane, like all of the backgrounds and the 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.560 stuff when they're in the the underworld or afterlife. It's 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.359 some very very beautiful filmmaking for sure. Uh. And then 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.119 I'm gonna go with Days of Heaven because it is 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.800 one of my favorite movies of all time. It is. 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.919 Uh so it's a great film, and there's just visually 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.560 it's just so beautiful. Um. Most of the movie, as 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.119 if you listen to the episode with Brooke Adams. We 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.399 shot at Magic Our and it's just gorgeous. So really 0:21:55.400 --> 0:22:00.560 great question, Kevin, That's what I would suggest, William Angus. Finally, 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:04.399 question number five, what is an older film whose visual 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.560 effects hold up amazingly well? He said, for me, it's 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:10.439 got to be the first Jurassic Park. I agree. I 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.280 think that holds up big time, And that was one 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.080 of the ones I remember, you know, that first really 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:18.600 great use of c G I to where it was 0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.960 goose bumpy, you know in the theater. It even looks 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.439 good on TV, like I've seen it on TV with 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:26.639 my kid recently, and it really you can usually kind 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.280 of see the edges and uh see the kind of 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.359 flaws and and it looks it looks as good as 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.359
