WEBVTT - Mini Crush #123

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey everybody, and welcome to Many Crush Monday. Chuck here.

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 1>Noel I hope is joining us. He is not answering

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 1>his skype call. So we're gonna go ahead and get

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>going because I am on a tight schedule. So. Uh.

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I found this on the Movie Crushers page. This is

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>pretty great. This is from one of our oldest pals,

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Alison Gallagher. She dug up an article from pop Sugar two. Well,

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 1>let me qualify this. It does not say thest movies

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of all time. It says these are twenty two of

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the worst movies of all time. And this is from

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Karne Sullivan from February of this year from pop Sugar

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>dot com. And I was kind of curious how they

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>qualified this, and then they said it kind of right

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning, that these are films that have a

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>zero rating on rotten Tomatoes, which is, uh, that's pretty bad.

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 1>Zero percent. Uh. And you know, we've talked about rotten

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>tomatoes on the show before and whether or not, uh,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>anyone should pay attention to something like rotten tomatoes. You know,

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>here's what I think is rotten tomatoes is a you know,

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's an O case starting point. It will give

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you sort of a level set on generally what like

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>how good a movie might be. It is not scientific.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>It is just a bunch of people's opinions. Um but

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I will say this, they are not film critics. And

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it's nice just to see what we all us

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>normies think about a movie. So sometimes I will go,

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not sure about a movie, check out a

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>little Rotten Tomatoes action and if it's really low, then

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>that probably means it's not great. So I will say that,

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but I wouldn't put like the most stock in it.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Like it would never be the ultimate decider on whether

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>or not I watched a movie. Um but the number

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 1>one movie, well they're not in order, I guess because

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>they obviously represent but number the first one on the

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>list is Mac and Me, a movie that I did

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>not see. And I'll go ahead, and we should just

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>go through all these and see which one's that I've

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>seen and I haven't seen. But I have not seen

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Mac and Me at all, and I will not I

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>can say that for sure. Is that nol. Hey dude,

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the show. How's it going. Yes, I'm on

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>a tight schedule, so I got started and figured you

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>would join at some point. Everyone Noel is here. It's weird.

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you're not recording, so Noel is will be

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>recording shortly. Hey, that's all right. This is great entertainment.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>So what we're talking about, Noel is the Rotten Tomatoes

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty two movies of a zero percent rating? Are you

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>really truly telling me you've never seen mc and Me

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and you refuse to see mac and Me? Why would

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I see it now? I mean, because it's one of

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the great product placement movies of all time. It's like

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the great like McDonald's tie in movies of

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>all time. And I guess all you really need to

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>see is that Paul Red clip. Though once you've seen that,

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you've probably seen the whole movie. There's also a dance

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>off in McDonald's with really bad creature makeup with these

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>alien gritters. Um, but yeah, I support not seeing it.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>It's probably fine. I'm not gonna do it. Number the

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>second one on the list is Problem Child, another movie

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I have not seen. This sorts my heart because John

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Ritter is great and it's about to say and I

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>miss him being around but uh, he was in apparently

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a pretty bad movie. What how did Problem Child to

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>do on Rotten Tomatoes? I have no idea. It says

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>there's also a problem Child three colin junior in love.

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>What I've never even heard of that. I didn't know

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>there was a two. That's wild. Yeah, I remember in

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>the theaters. I mean that was those were like big,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Those were big theater movies. I remember seeing them when

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid. But this is news to me.

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Problem Child three junior in love. That's crazy. If you

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 1>have a colin in your movie, then that's a bad sign.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>That's uh. You want to rethink that statement, which would

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>name a good one? What about a colonoscope in your movie? Now? Okay, um?

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 1>What else? I love this? I love this game. The

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 1>third one is Look who's talking? Now? Not the original

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but the sequel. Well that's the third one. Look who's

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>talking too? Was looking? Was talking? Also? A K A

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>T O O? Looking? Now? What was this? What was

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that was that? The babies? That was one with babies

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>right with with two children on the they're not babies there.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>They look like to be about four or five. The

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>first one is babies. The second one they're a little older,

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and I guess what's going on? Is there? There there's

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>two dogs, and they added dogs to the mix. That's

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>exactly Yes, that's it. They added dogs. That's how they

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>spiced it up. Because then look who's talking to I

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they should just do more sequels and be

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 1>look who's really talking now, and it'll be like the

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>appliances yep, and then the walls and then they all

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just drift slowly into insanity. Look who's also talking as well?

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a good title, colin every everything in the house. Yes,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>here's another Colon movie. This is proving my point very well.

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Ballistic Colon X versus sever Okay, is this some kind

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of action picture? Yeah? This was Antonio Benderis and Lucy Lou.

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I did not see this either. Turns out I have

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good taste. They should have just called it ballistic

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>because that's, you know, on the nose. But at least

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a real movie title. It's ex spelled e c

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>K S. Yes, amazing. I have not heard of this. Yeah,

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it was like I said, something I've never seen. I

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen any of these. Directed by someone named Wike

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Chaos Sanada under the pseudonym chaos, Wow, chaos with a K. Yeah.

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I bet the person directed music videos before that. I

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>bet you a thousand dollars. That's a music video director. One. Huh,

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that action, all right. Uh. Number five is Derailed,

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a movie I've never heard of, but it has Jean

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Claude van Dam in it. A train of course straight

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>to video. There you have it. Number six is Pinocchio,

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and then on the Facebook page, people are like Pinocchio.

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>How could Pinocchio be on it? They're talking about the

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>live action Roberto what's his name Roberto Banini version? Yeah,

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy because that was like a real passion

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>project for him and obviously a life is beautiful, like

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, Oscar City. And then his next big passion

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 1>project was a weird Pinocchio where he plays a small

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>child as an adult, weird Italian man and apparently unbearably bad.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Just just like painful to watch is what I read. Yeah,

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>not interested. I have not seen any of these killing

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>me softly as on the on the seven Spot Heather

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Graham erotic thriller. Well what they're wrong with that? Yeah,

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>that's not look good. The eighth one is Constellation has

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Billy d Williams, Gabrielle Union, Hill Harper, and Zoe Saldana.

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Good cast. Yeah, movie, though says I made for TV

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 1>soap opera kind of thing with an A list cast,

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>So not about space at all. No, it's not. I

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's probably about love. That's written in the stars

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>would be my guess. Ray Don Chong, she's she's in

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>it good. I mean, I haven't seen her in a while,

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but I'm glad you got work in two thousand five.

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>It's got two stars on IMDb. Okay, I guess is

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>about the equivalent of no stars on Rotten Tomato because

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>IMDb is all user generated. So if people that actually

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 1>watched the movie or this unkind to it, that's pretty bad.

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that was just Stoner's who thought it was Tommy

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Chong and just gave it a star or two ray

0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Don Chong. The ninth one is one missed call. Another

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>movie I've never heard of. It's a remake of a

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Japanese film starring ed Ed Burns. I don't know who

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>that is. You know Ed Burns? Ed Burns, Mr Burns.

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>He was in uh he directed films early on and

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>wrote and directed these movies about you know kind of

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>young Catholic men. Um, but he he wasn't saving private

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Ryan was kind of his biggest thing. You'd recognize him

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>if you saw him. He was hot ship for a while. Okay,

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>handsome man, got it? Let me see here, Tin is homecoming.

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Misha Barton in a so so I'm sorry, not so

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>scary horror movie. Yeah, yeah, these straight to video things,

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if you should count that. If

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna make a worst movie list, that's yeah. I

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like there should be a caveat that this should

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>only include movies that actually were featured in cinemall cinemaar

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like The Nutcracker and three D l Fanning and Nathan Lane.

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, the Nutcracker is terrible anyway. Well, no,

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>whoa chuck. That is a hot take, my friends, that's

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.839
<v Speaker 1>a hot take. Have you ever gone and seen The

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Nutcracker live and on stage? Now, Bob Ball, do you

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>one better. I've run theater tech for The Nutcracker many

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 1>years when I was when I was growing up, when

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I was in college, I worked as a sound guy

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>at a theater, a local theater. And you know, if

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you're the sound guy, you still have to like be

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of a stage hand when they're setting up the

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>sets and building all the stuff. And so, yes, I

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>have seen The Nutcracker many times in a row and full. Yeah,

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean they do sort of an abbreviated version. So no,

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not very abbreviated. It's just slightly shortened for like

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 1>school shows where they have like kids come for you know,

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the different elementary schools around town. Uh, and then they

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 1>do the full version for the evening performances. So yeah,

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it in six different ways. Man. Yeah, My

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>problem with The Nutcracker is that it's so long. Also,

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like the first the first half of it when they're

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.079
<v Speaker 1>actually like, you know, when all the magic starts, that's

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty charming. But then the second half when it's just

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>all these bizarre dances and you know, it just goes

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>on and on and on and on, and there's just

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just so meandering and boring. And yeah, I'm not

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>into it either, Chuck. I'm with you. I'm with you

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 1>on your hot take. The twelfth one on the list.

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.719
<v Speaker 1>This was in the theater because I remember it being

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>a thing. She's in here, Emily, she's under the table. Uh,

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.679
<v Speaker 1>Bucky Larson Colin Born to be a star. That just

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>looks terrible. Christina Ricci and Nick Swardson and Don Johnson.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh thirteen is Dark Tide? My goodness, halle Berry, she's great,

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>but dark tied. I think she kind of is is

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 1>described as a sexy Jaws starring halle Berry. It wasn't

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Jaws sexy enough. Do we need a sexy Jaws? I mean,

0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Roy Scheider was absolutely soldering and Jaws and that shark,

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, talk about a sexy shark. We don't need

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a sexy Jaws. Dark Tide is it? Is? It feature

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>some sort of okay? So the cover is Holly Berry

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in a bikini, and every still from the movie is

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Holly Berry in a bikini, and I see a shark

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 1>fin So yeah, that's the sales point. It does appear

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to be sexy Jaws, all right? Who is? Oh my god,

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 1>there's an amazing Japanese or a Korean cover where it's

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Holly Berry in the bikini and then the shark full

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>mouth open bearing. It's really bad looking. C G I

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>shark teeth toward her, away from her. Actually, but it's

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>like the scale is all wrong. She's sort of like

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>in the waves and the shark looks tiny in comparison

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to how giant Holly Berry is. Well, you know, she'll

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>sell a movie better than that shark. I guarantee it.

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>What happened to holly Berry? Chuck? She's around? What are

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>you talking about? I mean, I'm sure she's around, But

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like you know, she went from Monster's Ball to Dark Tide,

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, well, you know, uh, I would

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>agree that the quality of film that she's been in

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>has gone down some. But that movie, the call was

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>seven years ago. That was pretty good. She was in

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 1>john Wick three. Oh, that's right. She was great in

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>john Wick three. She was like his assassin, kind of

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>ex flame. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 1>think you know what, I think halle Berry has taken

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 1>work where she can get work. I I support that. No,

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you you reminded me, Chuck, she was she wasn't john

0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Wick three. I heard a great little, uh little uh

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 1>trivia about john Wick is that the only reason they

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 1>called it john Wick is because Counters could never remember

0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the actual name that they were going to give it,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and when he was doing press, he just kept calling

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it john Wick. It was originally going to be called

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>like avenged or something really stupid like that. And now

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can't imagine any other way. But that

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>was literally why they changed the name of the movie

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to John Wick, because he kept making press rounds and

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>referring to it as John Wick. Yeah, where you wonder?

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I read it somewhere? Are you gonna? Are you gonna refute?

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you have? No? I just I take that with

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a grain of salt. That sounds to me like a

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of a movie lore type of thing, but maybe not.

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 1>You never know. I feel like it was kicking is

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>really dumb. You can't remember a one word title? No,

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he couldn't remember, that was the

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>way the article kind of hedged it. But to me,

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>he just I think he just liked the name of

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the character and that's what he always referred to it.

0:14:56.040 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's see John Wick name Kean remember? Uh, well press

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>on while you're looking at Yeah we should. Fourteen is

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>a thousand words. It's Eddie Murphy movie that Initially when

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw this, I did not remember, but now I do,

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think the whole deal is is that he's

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>got a thousand words that he can say or something.

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>He's got a daily word count not a good idea

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>for a movie. Derek Colstead, who wrote the original John

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Wick as well as its two sequels, said that Reeves

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>kept referring to the original film by the wrong name.

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>It had previously been titled scorn Quote. The only reason

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it's called john Wick, he said, is that Kanu kept

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 1>referring to it as John Wick. Okay, I can buy

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>that from the Independent. That's slightly different than he couldn't

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>remember the title. Okay, that's fair. Uh. Number fifteen is

0:15:53.880 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the Ridiculous six Yeah, that western Adam Sandler eight to

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Netflix deals. Oh was Sandler in it? That's his thing.

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It's one of his things. It's one of his uh

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever contract that he has to make ten Netflix movies

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a year. Oh goodness me, that doesn't look good. Taylor

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Lautner New Boy. Uh sixteen is Cabin Fever. And when

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I I first saw Alison Gallagher's abridged version, which was

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>just the list typed out and not the link, I

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>thought Kevin Fever was Okay. I kind of like that movie.

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>The horror were people's skin sloughs off and stuff here. Yeah,

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>but this is the remake, which I forgot. They did

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.760
<v Speaker 1>a remake to Cabin Fever, and why on earth did

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>they remake Cabin Fever? That doesn't make any sense. No,

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean it doesn't at all. I guess the original

0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>was low budget and schlocky kind of But yeah, so

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I am realizing, Chuck, are these these are? Zero percent?

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Was out of dere So I am seeing that every

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 1>one of these that I pull up on IMDb has

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 1>two stars. So the the equivalent of zero percent on

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Rotten Tomatoes is two stars on IMDb. It would seem

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.360
<v Speaker 1>but it could be an interesting false equivalence. I'm gonna

0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>keep testing it, all right, we might have stumbled upon

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>something great here. NOL seventeen is the Disappointment's Room. First

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of all, does not roll off the tongue. No, not

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>at all. The disappointments Room. I will say this. So

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>it's from the director of Disturbia, and I thought distributor

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 1>was Okay, did you ever see that? I know what

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about, but I'm sorry, I hate to keep

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 1>harping on this. Why not just call it the disappointment Room.

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>That's easier to say. Adding that s at the end

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it makes it sound really clunky, and I don't understand

0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>what's going on that's weird. I'm sure that's explained in

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the movie somehow, but we'll never know. Yeah, I thought

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Distributor was all right. It wasn't great. I did a

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>little uh rabbit hole I have in this some iTunes

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>reviews the other day, and someone accused us of too

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>often saying I haven't seen that, and that that's lazy

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>film commentary. Yes, you're right, this show is all about

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>lazy film commentary. Spot on four stars exactly, Uh, Max Steele,

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I've never looked at our ratings on iTunes. I don't care. No,

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't care. But it's occasionally a fun way to

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>either give yourself a nice little boost of confidence or

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 1>like poor salt in a wound. Ah, I never I

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>mean I used to read the Bad Ones and stuff

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you should know, just for frenzies. That stuff doesn't bother me. No,

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't bother me either. I'm totally joking. But it

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>is fun to kind of occasionally you realize, like, oh,

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>this is more about you than it is about me, buddy. Yeah,

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I think if I've learned one thing in life here

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 1>at my ripe old ages, the one thing that doesn't

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.479
<v Speaker 1>bother me and shouldn't bother anyone is an internet opinion.

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>M hm, you're setting yourself up for a frustrating life

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 1>if that stuff gets to you. Max Steele Number eighteen.

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I even know this movie says it

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be the next Transformers. Yeah, that is not

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.439
<v Speaker 1>where I would have gone with that. It sounds to

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:18.399
<v Speaker 1>me immediately you say that, and I think it's like

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a porno assassin movie. Yeah, or or yeah exactly Max Steele. Okay,

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it started off as an animated series that

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was Transformers esque, and then they then made this into

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a movie that apparently did not do well again. Two

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:38.199
<v Speaker 1>stars on IMDb. All right, check this one, Nold Precious Cargo.

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Uh this straight to video starring Bruce Willis Claire for

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Lonnie and oh goodness, the great great to Mark Paul.

0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 1>How don't you know how to say his name? Casa Gossler, Gossler,

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll take I'll say I would take any of those

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Chuck that looks precious Cargo. Is it at some sort

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.199
<v Speaker 1>of treasure or is it about children? Like writing in

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:07.919
<v Speaker 1>a van? It's thieves in a murderous showdown with a

0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>lack of thrills and reliance on skimpy outfits Willis and

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>his banana hammock. It's got to balance out. It can't

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>be all skimpy outfits. You gotta have some thrills to chuck.

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.439
<v Speaker 1>You gotta have some thrills and some fully clothes humans,

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:29.200
<v Speaker 1>at least clothes, or at least twenty center the people

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>with some clothes. Did you ever see Color of Night? No,

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I know the movie, never saw it. That was the

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>sexy one, right st e me. Let me tell you

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, we're gonna finish this stuff. Dark Crimes with

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Jim Carey when he did that dark sort of drama

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 1>misguided murder mystery is how it's described here on the

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Pop Sugar website. Poor Jim Carrey, that I mean, not

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 1>poor Jim Carrige. I'm curious. I'm not gonna feel too sorry, born,

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 1>but that does not look like a good movie or

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>a good choice. Oh. If you look at the poster, uh,

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 1>if you can chuck, I recommend you pulling it out,

0:21:12.320 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>because he's just making the most sad sack face you

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>could possibly make. He just looks really grumpy. It's probably

0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>because he was in that movie Dark Crimes. Oh, boy,

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and the tagline is it takes a dark mind to

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:37.639
<v Speaker 1>solve a twisted crime. Yet it's called dark crimes and

0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 1>not dark minds. All right, nol. So we're gonna move

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>on to something that's actually worthwhile. Uh, in these charged

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>times here in our country, I thought we would start

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 1>a thread on movies or documentaries that have educated people

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>on race relations and open their eyes on things. And

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought this would just serve as a good list,

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.919
<v Speaker 1>as a good reference point for people seeking this kind

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of stuff out, which we should all be doing right now.

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm just gonna read through a bunch of these

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>just to get as many of them out there as

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>we can. Alicia Deats, one of our old friends, says,

0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Hidden Figures focused on women of color and their struggle. Uh.

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Great movie. Amanda Karen says, when they see us about

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.719
<v Speaker 1>the Central Park five, I did. I don't what there

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>were there too, Central Park five documentaries, because that's the

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>one that I'm familiar with. You may there may have

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>been an older one. I saw one, but I thought

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.919
<v Speaker 1>it was just called the Central Park five. Uh, let

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>me look that up real quick. That I mean, that's

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a harrowing story and one that also figures into our

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>current president. Yeah, there's one called the Central Park five.

0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>That's the one I saw. Imagine they're both great, but no,

0:22:56.520 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, the current president, called for their you know,

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>uh he even when they're exonerated. He took out an

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>ad in the paper that basically, you know, this is

0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>bullshit and they should be put away for life or worse.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember exactly what he said because I

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:18.359
<v Speaker 1>try not to pay attention. Let me see here, my

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 1>kid watch Do the Right Thing as a teenager, and

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 1>the scene where Spike Lee points out John Taturo's hypocrisy

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of being racist towards characters, towards least character but admiring

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.400
<v Speaker 1>famous people of color like Prince and Carl Lewis really

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 1>stuck with me. H yeah, man, I remember. I mean

0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 1>that movie is just as relevant today, if not more so,

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 1>than it ever was. That movie rocked my world. It

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 1>comes up all the time. It could come up a

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>bunch with us. I've still not seen it. I am

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>going to see it. It's so so beloved by so

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.719
<v Speaker 1>many different people, and it's been recommended to me like

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 1>ten times over. We gotta see it. Yeah, one of

0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the great movies of all time. Uh. Katie Scott says

0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 1>it's not a movie, but the new HBO watch Man

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>was the first time I've heard about the Tulsa race massacre.

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I live in northeastern Oklahoma and went to Oklahoma public

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>school for twelve years, and it was never taught to us.

0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I never thought anything like that would ever happen in Oklahoma.

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Very eye opening. Yeah, you know, even stuff like that

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>can can educate and open people's eyes to dive deeper.

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's fabulous. Show. I just found out something

0:24:21.720 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>pretty gross and weird and possibly not on purpose, but

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:29.160
<v Speaker 1>if very tone deaf either way. Apparently Trump's first big

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:34.080
<v Speaker 1>rally is going to be in Tulsa, and it's on

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>June tenth, which many folks might not know about. But

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a big holiday, considered holiday in the African American community,

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and it celebrates the abolition of slavery. If I'm not mistaken, Uh,

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's intention there, but it's sure

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty bad choice if if there wasn't. Oh no,

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>it's dark time? What is dark time? Can I add

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>one real quick? You might already have it or I

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I have not seen this, but I was recommended me

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to me just last night. It's called l a ninety

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 1>two UM documentary about the LA riots surrounding about the

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Rodney King beating or the l A riots that were

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of stoked as a result of the Rodney King beating,

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>which is sort of the one people most think about,

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>but also the shooting of a young black woman by

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 1>a Korean grocery store owner that was also a big

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.719
<v Speaker 1>catalyst for the l A rights. But apparently the documentary

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have a lot of voice over. It just

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>uses just like archival footage from you know, when it

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>actually happened, and that it's incredibly powerful. Yeah, my, uh

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>my brother was living in Hollywood at the time, and uh,

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.439
<v Speaker 1>former guest Raymond Carr also has a great story about that,

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:52.439
<v Speaker 1>So go back and listen to his episode for that.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to get Raymond back in here. I wonder

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>if he has a recording set up at his house.

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll shoot him a text. Uh, Lisa Romano whenever Old

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Friends has twelve years of slave that comes up here

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot. The raw realism had me alternating dissolving in

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:09.720
<v Speaker 1>tears and recoiling and horror. Such a strong lead role

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:12.439
<v Speaker 1>performance too also a breakout role for the for the

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 1>lead actor. Yeah, for sure, absolutely. Uh he's He's popped

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>up in some pretty big movies since then. You could say,

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>here's one from Michael Rakowski. Rakowsky, he says, a little

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 1>lighter in tone, but a classic Guess Who's coming to dinner?

0:26:27.880 --> 0:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Great commentary on how we speak compared to how we

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 1>feel about racism, still holds up today, more than fifty

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>years later. Alison Shallenberger says Gideon's Army follows public defenders

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 1>who work in the South. Quite a minimal doc with

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>hardly any narration or soundtrack, and it still hits hard

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>the truth about race, poverty, and the justice system. And

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 1>she also recommend whose streets about activists in Ferguson. Yeah,

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I gotta see both of those. I need to get

0:26:56.600 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>on a documentary run here, very recent in here from

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Eliza Russell Black Klansman. Of course, great movie, Zaly. It's

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>it's an interesting combination of like just gut punch kind

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:15.120
<v Speaker 1>of intense realism and also like some satire, and then

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>when it incorporates all of the real footage at the end,

0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just a really kind of the perfect package.

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's one of Spike Lee's finest films. Yeah,

0:27:23.920 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it was great and a great kind of comeback for

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>him too in a way. Although I think he's doing

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>some great work these days. She's got to have it

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>as fantastic the TV show. Zack Pointer, one of our

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 1>oldest friends, says the Old Roots with LaVar Burton. Yeah, certainly, Um,

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.399
<v Speaker 1>that is always worth watching and something that many of us,

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 1>including myself saw in school in history class. So uh

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>but uh, you know, it has that the vibe of

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the eighties mini series. But it's still a great story.

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Robin ronas his school days and do the right thing

0:27:57.200 --> 0:28:00.640
<v Speaker 1>great when they came out. Still love them today. Uh,

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 1>let me see here. Dan Innis recommends l A ninety

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:05.959
<v Speaker 1>two as well. It's on Netflix, by the way, everyone

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>streaming on Netflix. Uh. An old friend, Vanessa Lopez says

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one that I have got in my queue and I'm

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna watch probably this weekend. Uh if Beale Street

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>could talk. Also want to see that. And I Am

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Not Your Negro, which was a really really good documentary.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen that one? Yes, it's about James Baldwin, um,

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>who I've really only seen like some interview clips with.

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I really need to read some of his books. Um.

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:36.720
<v Speaker 1>There's one called Notes from a Native Son that I

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>keep seeing recommended. Uh. That is about kind of just

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 1>his experience growing up, you know, under racist, uh society,

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:46.760
<v Speaker 1>really and just how he kind of interpreted a lot

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of that stuff and really poignant. A smart dude. UM,

0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:53.920
<v Speaker 1>really would love to see that documentary as well. Yeah,

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it's great. Megan Carroll, one of our old friends, says, tale,

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard of this one, Tales of the Grim Sleeper.

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I was getting my grad degree in public administration when

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I saw it. I believe that the government should be

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a force of good and to see the l a

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.880
<v Speaker 1>municipal government just not care about a serial killer targeting

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>a certain population angered and shook me like little I

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>had seen before. Wow, that sounds interesting. I gotta check

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 1>that out. No, nothing I even know that story. No, Um,

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 1>let's do a couple of more here. Another vote for roots.

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Joanna Wicks says justin Mercy is absolutely required watching and

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it's streaming for free on all platforms. She said, these

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 1>are movies that need to be watched because of how

0:29:38.840 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>recently the events took place. You think it was a

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>nine fifties or something. But nope, these events were happening

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>all after I was born and still happening today. A

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 1>couple more votes for thirteenth on Netflix and do the

0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>right thing, Uh, Desiree. Here's from a different part of

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 1>the world. Desiree Healed says, rabbit proof fence for all

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>really in Aboriginal history, particularly in my state of Western Australia. Yeah,

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen that. I've heard that was really just

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:09.400
<v Speaker 1>history class in an episode about you know, the true

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 1>story behind that? Uh, and they referenced that movie quite

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a few times, and UM say, it's great. I'd look

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to see it as well. So definitely not a story

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:20.200
<v Speaker 1>people think of, UM often, it's not doesn't quite get

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.040
<v Speaker 1>as much press as as it deserves. But yeah, really

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>really great interesting story. Yeah, and a reminder that the

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>race relations suffer all over the world. World. No, this

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 1>is why so many people all over planet Earth right

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 1>now we're standing in Unison to protest is because it's not.

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 1>It's bad in America, but it's not. If I if

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I could add an audio recommendation to this, UM we

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 1>my team UM just launched a show that we've been

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 1>developing for close to a year with really amazing team

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>of hosts from Athens, Georgia, UM, one of whom is

0:30:57.400 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a city council woman named Murray at Parker and her

0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 1>rap name is Lingua Franca and she's an incredible performer

0:31:04.520 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and rapper and activists and organizer. UM and her host,

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Kedrick mac A k A Dope Knife, is a fantastic illustrator,

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:16.479
<v Speaker 1>comic book artists, also activist, has a background and like

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 1>UM diplomacy, his parents were in the Foreign service, and uh,

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they just talk about the intersection between hip hop and politics.

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>And we pushed the launch up ever so slightly just

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to give them a platform during this time, and they

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we recorded the first you know, half of the first

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:37.040
<v Speaker 1>season really UM, just to kind of threw it all

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>out the window and you know, really reframed it around

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>their experiences surrounding this moment that we're in right now.

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And it's just I couldn't I couldn't be more proud

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of it. And it's notable now wherever you get podcasts

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>called Waiting on Reparations. Yeah, and that's doing very well too,

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>which is fantastic. Hey, Ruby, how you doing. I heard

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>you were hiding into the table or are Is that true?

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.480
<v Speaker 1>He asked, if you were hiding under the table that

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't go well for you, did you did it? Yeah,

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of cool. I really like hearing these

0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>recommendations of smaller documentaries. He said, two independent docs, can

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:29.400
