Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to movie Crush, the short and stubby
Speaker 1: edition that we like to call minnies. Excuse me? Are
Speaker 1: you calling short and stubby? Well? No, neither one of
Speaker 1: us are tall guys. That's that's fair check. We're average. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I always wanted to be six ft too.
Speaker 1: What are you like five? No, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: That's what I like to say. Oh, are you really?
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, probably not. What kind of a
Speaker 1: grown man doesn't know how tall he is? Just this
Speaker 1: kind right here? My man, I think we're about the
Speaker 1: same high, aren't we? Listen. No, it's not a contest. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm not treating it like a contest. I just genuinely
Speaker 1: don't know. I used to be five tins solid, and
Speaker 1: now I'm just under So I'm shrinking. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: that happens. That does happen? Shrink it adult shrinkage? No comment?
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough. I want to thank some people
Speaker 1: right off the bat here, because, as I was explaining
Speaker 1: to knowl here, as we're plowing through these many crushes
Speaker 1: I have, I was a bad boy and did not
Speaker 1: start keeping up with these um and what I'm covering
Speaker 1: in them from the beginning, like what social studies questions
Speaker 1: I've asked, what I've recommended and recommended viewing or stream this,
Speaker 1: And you need to keep up, keep up with that
Speaker 1: stuff where you start, you're in danger of repeating yourself.
Speaker 1: And I am so busy right now. I didn't have
Speaker 1: time to go through, scrub through all the shows and
Speaker 1: make a big list. So I reached out to hurls
Speaker 1: Jill Hurley, the wonderful Jill Hurley, who has been helping
Speaker 1: us keep track with the stuff you should know episodes
Speaker 1: over the years. We call her our Minister of Information.
Speaker 1: What do we call her? That sounds good, That's like
Speaker 1: something from I don't think that's a little dystopium. Might
Speaker 1: have just made that up? Um? Is that what we
Speaker 1: call you, Jill? She'll remind me. But anyway, I said, hey, Jill,
Speaker 1: I know you're busy as well, and that you have
Speaker 1: your own life to live, but if you could help
Speaker 1: me out here, I would really appreciate it. Um shout
Speaker 1: out to the Movie Crushers page on Facebook. She she
Speaker 1: went to the Movie Crushers asked for volunteers to take
Speaker 1: one episode each and scrub through and list out what
Speaker 1: we've done, and Jill would compile that in a document
Speaker 1: for me and send it and then I could keep
Speaker 1: keep up with it moving forward. So big, big thanks
Speaker 1: to Jill Minister of Statistics, no information anyway, Thanks Jill,
Speaker 1: Thanks Julie Perez, Thanks Kelly Tally, Thanks to Share Oldenburg.

Speaker 1: to all you guys and ladies because it really helped
Speaker 1: me out. So enough of that, Noel, let us reap
Speaker 1: the fruits of their labors. That's right. We're gonna move
Speaker 1: on with a social studies segment. Social studies and I
Speaker 1: was inspired by a question from the last episode what
Speaker 1: movie character would you most wish to be? And I
Speaker 1: felt bad because I kind of forgot to put one up,
Speaker 1: and so the West Coast. I'm very sorry because you
Speaker 1: know eight thirty in the morning. We clearly only got
Speaker 1: people either on Australia or the East coast of the
Speaker 1: United States. And Rachel Jones says, West Coast of Australia
Speaker 1: is very happy. And she said she wanted to be
Speaker 1: Juliet Home in Heavenly Creatures, Kate Winslet's character and Rizzo
Speaker 1: from Greece, and then she said as she got older,
Speaker 1: Meg Ryan's character, and you've got mail good one, Rachel
Speaker 1: or maybe Rochelle. Chris Rupp says Hans Solo fastest ship,
Speaker 1: best Wookie friend, best pilot, scoundrel legend. I'm confused about
Speaker 1: his relationship with Chewbacca though. I gotta say, did you
Speaker 1: see the solo men? Yeah, I don't like it. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it yet. It kind of bored me. They
Speaker 1: could they meet in this fighting pitky that's known in
Speaker 1: the lore, but I don't understand how they hit it off.
Speaker 1: They literally get in this huge fight and then it
Speaker 1: instantly become friends. It's confusing to me. That's a bit
Speaker 1: of a trope though, is Yeah, you guys who punch
Speaker 1: each other and okay, we're bud here we are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm I don't want to be disappointed by it,
Speaker 1: and I've heard it's disappointing. I just I just I
Speaker 1: just guy just didn't care. Yeah, I'll see it at
Speaker 1: some point, of course. Katherine Snow says, uh, is it

Speaker 1: That is that? Um? What's her name? From Live Tyler?
Speaker 1: Isn't the other one? Oh? I don't know Live Tyler
Speaker 1: And I think I think, you know, I think it
Speaker 1: is her. She's the character that was kind of invented
Speaker 1: for the movie. Okay, I lived Thiland, the the Lost
Speaker 1: Gal character, Yes, the Lost Gal. I forget her. Damn uh.
Speaker 1: Ryan Lee says the eponymous Sanjuro from Kurasawa's Sanjuro. He

Speaker 1: It is what you said, Yeah, Aaron Alt says Snake Pliskin.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good answer. Although, man, he he goes through it.
Speaker 1: He does, he really does. He goes. They put him
Speaker 1: through his paces. We're talking about him in the first
Speaker 1: movie too, imagine because really universally hated the second one.
Speaker 1: That movie managed to look like it was made thirty
Speaker 1: years previous. The effects were like that surfing scene that
Speaker 1: looks like, Lord, it looks like something you do at
Speaker 1: an amusement of park where you're like, get a VHS
Speaker 1: of you pretending to surf in front of the green screen,
Speaker 1: you know exactly. Uh, Andrew Augustine says Gene Kelly. Alright,

Speaker 1: from Planet Terror. Oh my god, a gun leg? Jonathan,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, how do I pronounce this? Jonathan Zapanski, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, but Jonathan starts his name off with four consonants.
Speaker 1: That's that takes a lot of guts, indeed, Jonathan says,
Speaker 1: James Bond, shout out and look forward to a Bond
Speaker 1: special coming up soon with a great Matt Gorley. That's right.
Speaker 1: Bond is so tortured though. Man, he just never seems happy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he seems so bummed out and just beaten down by life,
Speaker 1: and it's like, this is all I can do is
Speaker 1: just kill killed. That's true, especially the new Bond um Boy.
Speaker 1: You Bond fans are gonna love that episode. It was
Speaker 1: so great. Gorl's knowledge is just ridiculous. Dylan Orris's Bruce Almighty.
Speaker 1: Patrick McGrath says, Mongo because he's just pawn in Game

Speaker 1: the Thin Man because she's so smart and tough and
Speaker 1: keeps right up with Nick. Erica Winter says Susan and
Speaker 1: desperately seeking Susan. All right, that's a good one. And finally,
Speaker 1: Kyle Peterson says, no contest. Indiana Jones best job in
Speaker 1: the world and the skills to back it up. All right,
Speaker 1: Hey man, you just came up a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones think you were right. Let's said they're right,
Speaker 1: all right? Moving on another edition of Trope time coming
Speaker 1: your way. Still buzzing through these tropes of a feeling
Speaker 1: I've been off more than I could chew here. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be doing this till I die. David Nugent, he
Speaker 1: is bugged by the is the character dead or not? Thing?
Speaker 1: But in that all you need to like, you don't
Speaker 1: need to be a doctor, is what he's saying. To
Speaker 1: tell that someone's dead, all you need to do is
Speaker 1: feel for the carotid pulse for a few seconds. Sure
Speaker 1: that's true, he's saying. There's confusion, Yeah, someone's dead. Sure, Like,
Speaker 1: just check because you don't have to be a doctor.
Speaker 1: Anyone can check to see if someone's dead. You know,
Speaker 1: I got you. I kind of agree with you there,
Speaker 1: uh Lee, last Lostapka when a couple gets into a
Speaker 1: heated argument argument and then bam, instead of makeout love scene.
Speaker 1: Oh here's the trope that I'm going to throw your way, Noll.
Speaker 1: That really grosses me out is when the bloodied faces
Speaker 1: are kissing at the end. Oh yeah, I hate that.
Speaker 1: Every time I see that, I'm like, God, who would
Speaker 1: do that? Well, they've just been through it together, Chuck,
Speaker 1: and they just so how get out the kiss that
Speaker 1: nasty bloody face. They really love each other and they
Speaker 1: have to express it. That's always bug me with their mouths,
Speaker 1: express their love with their mouths, Chuck. Dana Eliason says,
Speaker 1: more of an O D D movie trope. What does
Speaker 1: that even mean? Odd? Or is it an acronym that
Speaker 1: we're unaware of. I think she means odd, but she
Speaker 1: she capitalized it, so I thought it was some sort
Speaker 1: of She's like, it's an odd movie trope. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: that was funny. The common use of super crazy decorated
Speaker 1: or souped up taxis and the eighties, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: Remember like every taxi in the eighties had like a
Speaker 1: carpeted dashboard and like tassels hanging from the t But
Speaker 1: that's also a little bit of a racist trope because
Speaker 1: a lot of times it was really poking fun at
Speaker 1: the fact that the driver was like Middle Eastern or something,
Speaker 1: so he had to have crazy tassels and like, you know,
Speaker 1: um Persian carpets everywhere. I think it's almost a little
Speaker 1: over the top kind of in that way. And then
Speaker 1: all and then usually the character would be a little
Speaker 1: over the top caricature of that. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing that out now. I'm with you, man,
Speaker 1: I think you're totally right. Edmund to Alba says, one trope,
Speaker 1: I dread is a supernatural threat and you have the
Speaker 1: control room, you know, the military guy advocating to Newcomb. Sure,
Speaker 1: the scientist knows how to defeat the threat, but the
Speaker 1: military guy just wants to bomb them. Yeah. I guess
Speaker 1: that's a trope. Chris Rupp says in sci fi movies,
Speaker 1: when the older character meets their younger self. Looper is
Speaker 1: the most obvious recent example, but frequency with Dennis Quaid,
Speaker 1: Uh sure, Twelve Monkeys. Yeah, I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a trope. Is it a trope? Say it again, when
Speaker 1: the older version of a character in a sci fi
Speaker 1: movie meets the younger version of themselves. Yeah, that's that's happened.
Speaker 1: That was in Looper. Um, Yeah, that's certainly in Back
Speaker 1: to the Future. That's more of a it's a time
Speaker 1: travel trope more than anything. I don't know, And it's
Speaker 1: one of the things that you're supposed to avoid that
Speaker 1: because if you meet your older self from your younger self,
Speaker 1: it could could it could I'll go bad brain and
Speaker 1: blow you up in your brain. Yeah, alright, that clock.
Speaker 1: We're not here to poop on your tropes people. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's called trope time, not poop on troop. Uh. This
Speaker 1: is Ktriona Pagny, beautiful name the character that appears to
Speaker 1: be a benevolent father figure actually being evil like David
Speaker 1: in the most recent alien movie or Dad and Guardians
Speaker 1: of the Galaxy too. Yeah, that's a that's a trope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how in two thousand one of Space Side that's true.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, Yeah, these nurturing, kind of helpful figures,
Speaker 1: helpful eyes, yeah or whatever that end up just manipulating
Speaker 1: you for their own evil ends. Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Aaron Carperman throwing a rock at your pet or animal
Speaker 1: or alien friend to protect him, yelling get out of here.
Speaker 1: We don't watch you anymore. Go oh you gotta dude.
Speaker 1: Literally the next thing he typed us go on, get
Speaker 1: out of here. I hate you. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: That's really totally a trope, because that's the only way
Speaker 1: to do it, you know. Yeah, if you love something,
Speaker 1: yell at it and make it go away. David Priest,
Speaker 1: that was a great bit of acting the whole by
Speaker 1: the way, it's good stuff, David. Dave Priest says when
Speaker 1: someone hangs up on the other end of the phone
Speaker 1: and the person continuously clicks the button. Yeah, like that
Speaker 1: never works. Also, we've we've talked about this before, but
Speaker 1: when someone hangs up on you and immediately goes to
Speaker 1: the dude, that does not happen. And that's not what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like screenwriters don't know how phones work, period basically,
Speaker 1: and they only recently figured out how computers work. Because
Speaker 1: for a long time, any depiction of computers or the
Speaker 1: Internet movies was just like what is this? So maybe
Speaker 1: they'll catch up to this this technology one day, Jean
Speaker 1: Sharpe says. The montage, Uh, sure, you gotta have a montage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love a good montage. Montage footloose, great one you
Speaker 1: learned to do something in a short period of time,
Speaker 1: like karate, dancing, you know, skiing, whatever. All right, that's
Speaker 1: it for troupe time. We're gonna keep going through these
Speaker 1: until Nolan and I are dead and gone. We're gonna
Speaker 1: move on now. Finally, Noel, it's a comment card, your
Speaker 1: questions to us about movies. All right, here comes five
Speaker 1: of them. Rebecca Rube. Rebecca's all over this page. I
Speaker 1: appreciate the sport, Rebecca. She says, favorite drinks to have
Speaker 1: per genre. In other words, like a beer comedy whiskey
Speaker 1: for drama. Well, I don't. I don't do that. I
Speaker 1: just drink whiskey all the time. Do you really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that your gym? That's my drink? Yeah? What's your
Speaker 1: what's your faith? Lately? I just do jamison, oh irish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, It's just what I do. I like.
Speaker 1: I like a fancy. I had a really good Japanese
Speaker 1: one a couple of weeks ago as the sun Tori.
Speaker 1: It was son Tori time Japanese whiskey stone. It's kind
Speaker 1: of clear. I had a good flavor, good finish. So
Speaker 1: what do you uh over? Ice? Over ice? A couple
Speaker 1: of fingers worth? However many fingers the bartender gives me.
Speaker 1: But do you have that at home too? I usually
Speaker 1: drink out, okay, so you don't drink at home? I
Speaker 1: do sometimes, But I like to go out with friends
Speaker 1: and do karaoke, and you know, have drinks you're going
Speaker 1: to karaoke. I always do karaoke. Have you ever been
Speaker 1: to uh live karaoke here in Atlanta with the band?
Speaker 1: I mean, like the metal some karaoke? Yeah? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have been it was too much of a ship show.
Speaker 1: We couldn't get on the stage. But yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: go early and get your name in there. But I
Speaker 1: went for my birthday a couple of years ago and
Speaker 1: we had a blast. It looked like a good time.
Speaker 1: For people that don't know we're talking about. There's a
Speaker 1: place where they have a live band that plays the
Speaker 1: backup of music of whatever karaoke's on you want to
Speaker 1: do and you get to, you know, be a rock
Speaker 1: star kind of yeah, And it's kind of great because
Speaker 1: I think the quality of singer is usually a bit
Speaker 1: higher because you're more reluctant to go up there unless
Speaker 1: you probably think you can pull it off. And for
Speaker 1: people that are like you can see it on the
Speaker 1: faces of a lot of these people that are like,
Speaker 1: I've never been in a band, and this is how
Speaker 1: we get to live it out exactly. It's pretty fun.
Speaker 1: And in Atlanta, one of the local DJs, English Nick,
Speaker 1: he serves as the emergency sort of backup guy. Did
Speaker 1: you know that? No? Yeah? English Nick hosted. He stands
Speaker 1: kind of off to the side with a mike and
Speaker 1: we'll sing back up and then if it turns out
Speaker 1: that you suck, they will kind of turn you down
Speaker 1: a bit and turn him up a bit, because just
Speaker 1: to keep it moving. Yeah, because with a live band,
Speaker 1: if you're like a really shitty singer, I mean bad karaoke,
Speaker 1: he's hard to sit to anyway, but with a live band,
Speaker 1: it really kind of ruins the whole experience. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's very cool. Yeah. When I waddled
Speaker 1: up there to do a surrender by cheap Trick, I
Speaker 1: think I remember him looking at me like here I go,
Speaker 1: and he got ready and I've of course killed it
Speaker 1: and uh and he was afterwards like, hey, a great job, man,
Speaker 1: that was really great. He's English, he's English. Nick. It
Speaker 1: was good stuff. And there was this country boy who
Speaker 1: clearly drives in every week from the Boonies and Georgia,
Speaker 1: who got up there with his cowboy hat and destroyed
Speaker 1: wanted dead or alive. Yeah, that's what I'm to go
Speaker 1: to for me actually, yeah. And he was just he
Speaker 1: had an amazing voice. He's one of these guys that
Speaker 1: like he was just cowboy sings on his tractor. He
Speaker 1: right on his steel horse, but he rides on all right.
Speaker 1: Sorry for that side track, Mike, Sam's what movie do
Speaker 1: you consider bad or mediocre? But if you recast the
Speaker 1: leads it would actually be good. It's just specific question.
Speaker 1: I know. I can't think of a lot of movies
Speaker 1: that we're only bad because of the actor that they cast. Usually,
Speaker 1: if if it's a bad actor, it's a bad movie
Speaker 1: to begin with for me, you know, can you think
Speaker 1: of one? Sorry, Mike, it's a disappointing answer, but I
Speaker 1: stand by it, as do I stand by you. Chuck.
Speaker 1: Jane Savage says, is there a movie out there which
Speaker 1: you thought had a great premise but was poorly executed? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know what, the first one that comes to mind
Speaker 1: is um Castaway with Tom Hanks. I'm not a fan.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the beach Ball, well, volleyball.
Speaker 1: I think that that movie, if it could have been
Speaker 1: a very intense piece of art. If you had cut
Speaker 1: out all of the beginning and the ending stuff and
Speaker 1: literally least started that movie on the plane when it
Speaker 1: goes down, and spent an hour and a half with
Speaker 1: this guy on an island. Maybe take out the volleyball stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm almost picturing to the beginning part. Is it sort
Speaker 1: of like his family life and stuff? It's almost up
Speaker 1: Steve as a mild manner in American Man, and then
Speaker 1: one day pretty much has just this big, over the
Speaker 1: top sort of set up. Uh. And then when he
Speaker 1: goes back home at the end, like get rid of
Speaker 1: all that stuff and just make it about a guy
Speaker 1: on an island and maybe you can flash back to
Speaker 1: some of the home life, which I think they did
Speaker 1: in the movie. That's okay. I'm a big fan of
Speaker 1: not beating people over the head with exposition. Like, just
Speaker 1: dropped me into the situation and then let's see where
Speaker 1: it goes. I don't know, yeah, because you know what,
Speaker 1: Check actually never seen Castaway, So this is all speculation
Speaker 1: on my part. It just it was a movie I
Speaker 1: wanted to be so much better because it had the
Speaker 1: bones of like what could have been a really cool
Speaker 1: piece of art and ended up being kind of hollywoody.
Speaker 1: How many is that? Three? Couple more here, Jessica Parsons.
Speaker 1: Do you ever watch the directors or actor's commentary? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, Jessica, I used to in the old
Speaker 1: DVD days. Um, but I have noticed I think, like
Speaker 1: I think on some of these movies on Apple when
Speaker 1: you when you rent them through Apple Now some of
Speaker 1: them I have noticed have a little tag for like
Speaker 1: extra content. I haven't clicked on that yet because, honestly, Jessica,
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of time anymore to to
Speaker 1: do that, because that means essentially watching the movie more
Speaker 1: than once. Um. But man, in my younger days, I
Speaker 1: used to I used to do that. I used to
Speaker 1: love the director's commentary a lot of insight. Yeah, it's true,
Speaker 1: and it's weird because I think we're talking earlier or
Speaker 1: another episode about moving away from owning DVDs, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can get that stuff packaged digitally, but it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel the same. I don't know why. I rented Hunger
Speaker 1: Games with my kid the other day and there was
Speaker 1: like a version of it with bonus material, but it's
Speaker 1: obviously just lobbed onto the end of the file. That
Speaker 1: interactive menu on the DVD is kind of what made
Speaker 1: it feel cool because you can like, watch it, you're
Speaker 1: sitting that button and you want to hit that button. Chuck. Yeah, Jessica,
Speaker 1: I wish I could. I could indulge that still because
Speaker 1: he still love it. It was a lot of times
Speaker 1: it was like a little little bits of a film
Speaker 1: class which is kind of nice. Then finally, Brenda all
Speaker 1: Good says, what is the oldest movie, oldest maide movie
Speaker 1: that you haven't seen but would like to? Mm hmm, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I've I've talked before about not having seen Casablanca.
Speaker 1: That certainly is is one of the big older movies
Speaker 1: on my list. Um, and we talked in a couple
Speaker 1: of episodes ago, I think the one that was just
Speaker 1: released this week, how you and I have large gaps
Speaker 1: in our older movie viewing experience. Did you see that
Speaker 1: crazy thread that someone starts. Are you talking about on
Speaker 1: the Facebook page classic movies that we should see? Oh? No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a whole threat on the movie crushers where people
Speaker 1: are just listing movies that we should see. Oh cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well and uh not the little known movie one? Is it? No?
Speaker 1: This is literally classic movie. Okay. Oh that's great. Um.
Speaker 1: And also, just as a reminder everyone, I put out

Speaker 1: I don't think they ever quite were like MTV famous,
Speaker 1: but I I heard about them through friends, like word
Speaker 1: of mouth, like back in the late nineties, early odds
Speaker 1: kind of. And they're super political, really really crafty lyrics
Speaker 1: and very very clever stuff. Yeah. Well, Boots has a
Speaker 1: long history of activism in his life. I grew up
Speaker 1: in Oakland, and he has a he has written and
Speaker 1: directed a movie and he's he's my age in his
