Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush. On a mini
Speaker 1: little Monday, nol, looks like you're rubbing the widow sweep
Speaker 1: be out of your eyes. Who do you? Who are
Speaker 1: you sweepy? Uh No, I've been I've been up for
Speaker 1: a while. I was not a call at nine. What
Speaker 1: time do you get up? No? It depends, man. You
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna actually be an average during the week nine. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you sleep the same on the weekends? Do you sleep?
Speaker 1: I know I don't ever sleep extra now I'm papable
Speaker 1: of sleeping past, say, ten thirty, unless I know christ
Speaker 1: I remember those days. That's amazing late. Yes, okay, well,
Speaker 1: you know I don't have a small child anymore. I
Speaker 1: kind of do what I want, Chuck. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: living the life of Riley. As they say, who was Riley?
Speaker 1: By the way, what was his life so great? It
Speaker 1: was Riley? And why was he sleeping or cheating? I
Speaker 1: don't even know? Were they? For all? I know? They? Uh? No?
Speaker 1: I got an exciting little message from you know, Rob Hubill,
Speaker 1: the actor and community. I love him. I love him
Speaker 1: and I follow him on Instagram and this was like
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. He said, Hey, does anyone
Speaker 1: have any true ghost stories? And I sent him a
Speaker 1: message on Instagram. I was like, I'd have a ghost story.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big ghost guy, but I do have
Speaker 1: one for my college days. Kind of gave him a
Speaker 1: run through and he was like, okay, thanks and that
Speaker 1: was it and I was like, well that was weird.
Speaker 1: And then just this morning I woke up and Rob
Speaker 1: Hubile is doing some uh not TikTok what is it?
Speaker 1: Instagram stream or something with that, like a live thing twitch.
Speaker 1: H He's doing ghost stories on Twitch and he wants
Speaker 1: me to come on and tell my ghost story. That's great,
Speaker 1: so hopefully I'm gonna make a little connection here and
Speaker 1: be like all right, buddy, now you gotta come on
Speaker 1: movie crush. Totally, that's so funny. Twitches usually for gamers,
Speaker 1: right I guess. I guess people are using it for
Speaker 1: whatever these days. Well frequent guests Ben Harrison uh he said, hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to play Dead red Redemption on Twitch tonight?
Speaker 1: And I was like, what is that? And he kind
Speaker 1: of explained it to me that basically people will pay
Speaker 1: to just sit in and watch two people play a
Speaker 1: game and talk about it. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: have to pay. It's like ad supported, I thought, But
Speaker 1: it's like my kids really into it. Like the the
Speaker 1: new YouTubers are twitch streamers, and there's this whole you know,
Speaker 1: kind of what's the word I'm looking for, like click
Speaker 1: of like these different twitch streamers, Like one of the
Speaker 1: most popular ones this dude named Wilbur Soot, who is
Speaker 1: this British kid who like twitch streams, but he also
Speaker 1: does like music and makes these kind of parody songs
Speaker 1: about Minecraft and being a nerd. But but I think
Speaker 1: maybe they don't pay, but you make you make money
Speaker 1: based on how many people are watching. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: it's like YouTube rules, but but it's it's it's all live. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was weird. And he explained that to me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, you mean that you and I can
Speaker 1: play Dead red Redemption and somebody will send us a
Speaker 1: check as long as you banter gotta be good banter, Chuck,
Speaker 1: gotta keep him on the hook. I didn't do it,
Speaker 1: by the way, Chuck, you should have done it. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that just feels weird. I like
Speaker 1: hearing I love hearing you talk about playing that game.
Speaker 1: I would enjoy watching you play in real time and
Speaker 1: getting in raised when someone continues to knife you. You
Speaker 1: know what, wasn't there someone who was trolling you at
Speaker 1: one point and after you were pretty terrible on that
Speaker 1: game that forever? But I just I don't know, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'd be afraid of what I would say
Speaker 1: in the moment um. That's a good point, Chuck. You
Speaker 1: are used to having a bit of a line of
Speaker 1: uh editorial control, speaking of which, I heard you and
Speaker 1: Josh hung out in in real life season. So we did,
Speaker 1: we got we got to record yesterday in person. We
Speaker 1: you know, there was an impetus behind it, which was
Speaker 1: recording the R three D episode, right, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: have you seen those fucking microphones with the ears? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing ours today. Actually have you seen those things?
Speaker 1: Are creepy, They are weird looking. Yeah. Yeah, for those
Speaker 1: of you who don't know what I'm talking about, we
Speaker 1: the we're trying to do more three D content on
Speaker 1: the network. Three D audio is basically this situation where
Speaker 1: when you wear your headphones and your earbuds, it sort
Speaker 1: of puts you in the space with the people and
Speaker 1: even a show like ours where we're not gussing it
Speaker 1: up with sound design or anything, it sounds different and
Speaker 1: you know, to some people probably a little more interesting. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is a stunt, but hey, we got on board.
Speaker 1: We're not going to change our show to that format,
Speaker 1: but we did it. And they have these microphones everyone
Speaker 1: that I have two sides to them, and there are
Speaker 1: what looked like real human ears on each side of
Speaker 1: these microphones, and it's creepy as Yeah. There's another set
Speaker 1: of them you can get that are like in headphone
Speaker 1: form where they actually record what you're hearing through the headphones.
Speaker 1: I think Sindheiser makes them so you can literally put
Speaker 1: put them on their their normal headphones and then you
Speaker 1: flip a switch and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 1: like you're hearing through the headphones the environment that you're
Speaker 1: walking through super super trippy. Mm hmm. Is it spoopy?
Speaker 1: It's spoopy and psychedelic, Chuck. I did a thing yesterday
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be weird, but it felt weird, but then
Speaker 1: it also felt great. What you do? I went and
Speaker 1: saw a movie in the theater. WHOA what movie? It's
Speaker 1: called Demon Slayer it's an anime thing. Um Mike kids
Speaker 1: really into it, and a buddy of mine um was
Speaker 1: also into it, and none of his friends were nerdy
Speaker 1: enough to go with him, so I had an excuse.
Speaker 1: It was great, it was it was so fun. It
Speaker 1: was they they you know, it was a new theater,
Speaker 1: brand new theater over in Grant Park. Uh amc I believe,
Speaker 1: And they have the one on the memorial. I guess
Speaker 1: it's not that new, but it was. It opened right
Speaker 1: before the pandemic, so it felt like it was you know,
Speaker 1: it had not really been broken in yet. Let's just say,
Speaker 1: but is it the one over there by homegrown? It is? Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And uh, it was just so fun. It was nice.
Speaker 1: You know, did the whole ritual of going to the
Speaker 1: grocery store beforehand and buying illicit snacks and smuggling them
Speaker 1: in in my puffy jackets. They sold dildo shaped pretzels, totally. Yeah,
Speaker 1: lots of lots of drugged snacks and and and dildo
Speaker 1: shaped I can't affections. That's that's great. Emily took Ruby
Speaker 1: to U. One of her little best friends is thirteen,
Speaker 1: one of our family friends, and she rented I wanted
Speaker 1: to rent out a movie theater for her birthday, and
Speaker 1: she and her eleven friends and Ruby and then a
Speaker 1: few of the parents went. I was not able to
Speaker 1: go because I had to do something else. But they
Speaker 1: had a great time. And the great thing about rending
Speaker 1: the theater, these girls had a little dance party down
Speaker 1: there during the movie in the aisles. They can't say,
Speaker 1: I don't do that. I love it. Uh. That's always
Speaker 1: my dream, Chuck, is to go to a movie where
Speaker 1: there's nobody else in there but you. It always gets
Speaker 1: ruined by like one person I have long ago, long
Speaker 1: ago once, but it happened, almost happened recently, and then
Speaker 1: it was ruined by the end of the credit. Some
Speaker 1: jerkwad came in. Um, that's creepier than when it's two people.
Speaker 1: That's a little weird. It is a little weird. And
Speaker 1: one thing it was kind of weird about the situation
Speaker 1: at the movie. I assumed it was a reserved seating
Speaker 1: that they would, you know, have have taken into account
Speaker 1: social distancing and not you know, booked separate parties directly,
Speaker 1: you know, connected seats. And this big family came in
Speaker 1: and sat down right next to us. And we kind
Speaker 1: of were like whoa, uh, we moved over, but it
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if they were sitting not
Speaker 1: in their assigned seats or if the system was screwed up.
Speaker 1: But it's a little odd. Yeah, isn't that? Isn't that strange? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna limit the seating, just block
Speaker 1: off at least two seats in between parties. I would
Speaker 1: say totally something like that, you know, very interesting, But
Speaker 1: to put the button on stuff. You should know. Jerry
Speaker 1: was in the room with Josh Andre the first time
Speaker 1: in like fourteen months total union. It was great in
Speaker 1: in every way we were It's just the way it
Speaker 1: should be. And you know, we we've been recording, uh
Speaker 1: you know, we recorded remotely some before the pandemic hit
Speaker 1: even so we were used to it. But we really, um,
Speaker 1: I think took for granted being together and now we don't.
Speaker 1: I saw you had some shrimp and white wine. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a real sare we had. Jerry brought champagne.
Speaker 1: I had a little each had a little champagne glass.
Speaker 1: And Jerry bought shrimp because that's an old running joke.
Speaker 1: But it was frozen, so we didn't get to eat
Speaker 1: the shrimp. But we're going back in Thursday to record
Speaker 1: another one and hopefully the shrimp will be thought. I
Speaker 1: hope so, I hope it's had enough time. That's exciting, Chuck.
Speaker 1: Glad you here A big shout out to uh Sammy Cahill.
Speaker 1: I got back to the you know, the first time
Speaker 1: I've been in the office and quite a while actually,
Speaker 1: and there was a fiftieth birthday gift waiting for me
Speaker 1: from the lovely and charming and winsome Sammy Uh. And
Speaker 1: it was popcorn toppers like gourmet popcorn kit. Very cool.
Speaker 1: I love. I love a good season salt on some popcorn.
Speaker 1: I'm going in the office today, Chuck. Maybe I'll have
Speaker 1: a present waiting for me. Who knows. I just I
Speaker 1: took a dump on your desk because that kind of Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're always terrorizing my desk when I'm not around, Chuck.
Speaker 1: What's with you? Oh? I love those headless parrot squeezies
Speaker 1: are still over there. It's so funny when I sew
Speaker 1: you just such a good job of playing it straight
Speaker 1: never you know, Yeah, I mean you really had a
Speaker 1: great poker Efficially. I don't know what you're talking about. Sir,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was anything on your desk,
Speaker 1: but I did walk around. That's I mean, no one
Speaker 1: was still in there. I kind of thought there might
Speaker 1: be some people going back a little bit, but it
Speaker 1: was just Jerry and I. Jerry and myself, and then
Speaker 1: Josh came in, and then Alex and Lowell came in
Speaker 1: to help engineer the three D episode, so I got
Speaker 1: to see those guys very briefly too. Nice. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: doing like a like a space kind of episode, like
Speaker 1: a re enactment of some kind of like space thing.
Speaker 1: You you're gonna fancy yours up? Then, of course we are.
Speaker 1: We're doing a little bit of sound as that it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be like a segment though, like not like
Speaker 1: a full episode. And then we're also doing ridiculous history
Speaker 1: in three D, and we're doing that like about a
Speaker 1: race car event with like crashes and stuff, so we're
Speaker 1: gonna be like narrating it and kind of like making
Speaker 1: all the noises with our They wanted us to do
Speaker 1: something like that, and uh, I just you know, we
Speaker 1: just said no. I mean, as much as we wanted
Speaker 1: to play ball, like listen, we do that for Halloween.
Speaker 1: We do that for Christmas, and I just it felt
Speaker 1: too stunty for us, so we were just keeping it real.
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, it's cool man, it's Josh and Chuck
Speaker 1: the podcast Experience the ride. Yeah, there's another thing talked
Speaker 1: to you offline about something else. We're saying no too
Speaker 1: we say no too much. No, you know, Chuck, some
Speaker 1: you gotta set your boundaries, man, boundaries, otherwise they'll run
Speaker 1: rough shot all over you really quickly. On the gaming front,
Speaker 1: I finished Ghosts of Sushiama. Uh. It kind of ended.
Speaker 1: I don't think I knew it was at the end.
Speaker 1: Does that ever happen to you where all of a
Speaker 1: sudden you find yourself in the last scene you're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: I didn't know this was it? Yeah? That that usually
Speaker 1: means that that there was some flaw in the storytelling,
Speaker 1: though I would you're supposed to kind of have a
Speaker 1: sense that you're heading towards the big thing, right, No,
Speaker 1: I think it was a flaw in my attention paying
Speaker 1: got it. I'm sure they did a great job. But
Speaker 1: it was a fun game. It's funny though you love
Speaker 1: these games, and at the end, for me, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of done. Very few do I want to keep playing,
Speaker 1: like I guess I did with the original Last of
Speaker 1: Us and maybe a little bit on Dead Red, but
Speaker 1: otherwise I'm kind of exhausted it, so I'm ready to
Speaker 1: move on. I gotta say I I still haven't returned
Speaker 1: to Last of Us too, because I got to a
Speaker 1: really hard part. I do this sometimes where I was
Speaker 1: like beat my head against the wall playing it over
Speaker 1: and over again, and I don't and I get frustrated,
Speaker 1: and so we've talked, well, not give up. I was
Speaker 1: just like, I'm gonna come back to it, but I've
Speaker 1: been distracted by Switch games because they're so fun and replayable.
Speaker 1: But I encountered a new type of zombie that's the
Speaker 1: one that like shoots out stink bombs or whatever. That's
Speaker 1: like a gas gas zombie or whatever. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I remember that. I encountered it in a time where
Speaker 1: I was very very very low on Ammo and there's
Speaker 1: nothing around, so I don't know what to do. I
Speaker 1: think I might have to go to a previous save
Speaker 1: point and like collect more AMMO, knowing that that's coming,
Speaker 1: but I want to go back. The problem with that
Speaker 1: game that is, when you die, it's so brutal that.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't want to keep doing this to myself,
Speaker 1: Like this is a lot. It's a lot, I know,
Speaker 1: especially when your characters are you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: there are people you connect children, Yeah, young girl, it's
Speaker 1: like geese, I don't want to see that. It's brutal. Alright, No,
Speaker 1: you got anything else on the catch up front? Not really,
Speaker 1: just really excited to be going back to movies. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm also going to Seattle on Friday with my kid,
Speaker 1: and yeah it's Friday. You got a lot of lovely
Speaker 1: movie crushers reaching out with the suggestions, and not one
Speaker 1: of them has talked about how it's a lawless town
Speaker 1: of roving bands of dude. My mom and then her
Speaker 1: Fox News she's like, please don't go, please, it's scary
Speaker 1: there all the libs roaming the streets with their Molotov cocktails. Anyway,
Speaker 1: enough about that, but yeah, very exciting. Lots of crushers
Speaker 1: have reached out with some great wrex you got your
Speaker 1: docket planned. We only we're playing it pretty pretty loose.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we're going to the mo Pop to
Speaker 1: to see this Minecraft exhibit and it's apparently a really
Speaker 1: dope museum in and of itself. You're gonna love MoPOP. No,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. We're gonna go to this place called
Speaker 1: pipe Works Park or gas Works Park. Maybe it's like
Speaker 1: a old some kind of factory or industrial area that
Speaker 1: was made into a park and you can climb around
Speaker 1: on all these crazy you know pipes and like you
Speaker 1: know towers and things. Um. And then there's a glass
Speaker 1: artist who's very well known and I'm forgetting the name now,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the Nutulu Khloe coat, coat coat, something like that.
Speaker 1: It's it's great. That's it's a really really lovely place
Speaker 1: to go. I um, get your camera ready because it's
Speaker 1: just like feast, feast for the eyes. Those are our
Speaker 1: three agenda items. And we obviously we were going to
Speaker 1: go to the market and all the you know, the
Speaker 1: downtowny stuff, and we're staying right right in that zone. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I got a couple of folks I might
Speaker 1: try to connect up with, and in a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine who was in Portland might come down for a
Speaker 1: day and hang out too. So all right, well I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think for an Edam Pryan. I could move
Speaker 1: from Seattle, but I still reached out. Yeah, the gooch
Speaker 1: reached out as well. Oh it is the gooch in Seattle.
Speaker 1: The gooches in Seattle. I don't know it's possible. He
Speaker 1: he invited me to his place of business, which is
Speaker 1: a twenty one in up place. So I've got the
Speaker 1: kid um, but my girlfriend's coming to so maybe that
Speaker 1: I can sneak off and pop in for a pint.
Speaker 1: You're like, he invited me to a place of work.
Speaker 1: It's an accounting firm, and I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go twenty one in up accounting firm. Very risk a
Speaker 1: the sexiest kind. Alright, No, I guess if that's all
Speaker 1: the ketchup we have, you can move right on along
Speaker 1: to our loan real segment because we're gonna do a
Speaker 1: little stream this, So go ahead and get your your
Speaker 1: brain pumped for that there. But this is a fun one.
Speaker 1: This is from Michael Fleming on the Crushers page. And
Speaker 1: you often see a lot of like change a word
Speaker 1: in this movie title and make it a different movie title.
Speaker 1: This has changed a letter one letter noel, which require
Speaker 1: a little more brain work, more brain work, and he
Speaker 1: started with uh for some reason. It just makes me laugh.
Speaker 1: Marty Poppins. That's funny. I don't know why that's so funny.
Speaker 1: I pictured this guy. Hey, how you doing, Marty Poppins,
Speaker 1: Good to meet you. I hate children. I got one.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a movie about donuts and it's
Speaker 1: called Glazing Saddles. Alright, so let's see what what everyone
Speaker 1: came up with here, liz An says, Star Wars. Get it.
Speaker 1: You can also add a letter. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: think that's got it. That seems to be the rules
Speaker 1: of the game. I like it, like Cody Read says.
Speaker 1: Flight Club. Mm hmm. That's actually is the name of
Speaker 1: a shoe store really, uh, like a sneaker head store
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles called flight Club where you get your
Speaker 1: Jordans and they have like a wrapped in plastic like
Speaker 1: all the previous you know, special editions and stuff for
Speaker 1: quite a lot of money. Oh. Sure, sneaker heads. That's
Speaker 1: that's a big thing. Mhm. They line up for that
Speaker 1: ship and all. Oh, they line up for it. Now
Speaker 1: apparently bots are becoming a big problem, like they are
Speaker 1: with tick concert tickets, where the bots buy up all
Speaker 1: the sneakers and then they're like traded like commodities. Basically
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing revenge of the sneaker bots. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a public enemy song man. I tried to
Speaker 1: get Chuck d on the show a couple of times
Speaker 1: a while ago, and it just didn't work out. In all,
Speaker 1: he was busy, and I was like, oh, can you
Speaker 1: just give me an hour? He's a busy man. He's
Speaker 1: a hero. Amanda Patterson says, shaving private Ryan, You know,
Speaker 1: shaving Ryan's private. It's more like it. Old friend Yvan
Speaker 1: Bodette says, Poopye cute. That's not good because then you
Speaker 1: get what do you get? What's the sickness? Is pink Eye?
Speaker 1: Think I from Poopye? Right, yeah, but Poopie is Also
Speaker 1: it's funny because Popeye has already got one eye that's
Speaker 1: kind of like squinted shut. So Poope, I assume would
Speaker 1: be completely blind. He'd be in big trouble, wouldn't he.
Speaker 1: Christine Davis Baker says Goodwill, haunting love that Liz Anna's back.
Speaker 1: Liz has got a lot of good ones. Old pal
Speaker 1: Liz says, Pacific trim Is that like trim, like this's
Speaker 1: a haircut movie? Perhaps I don't know, maybe, so let
Speaker 1: me see here. M D. Charles Charne Lee says, citizen Kale,
Speaker 1: I bet you that's a place in Brooklyn totally. If
Speaker 1: that's not a Kale restaurant in Brooklyn, then somebody puts
Speaker 1: it out, yeah, or a smoothie joint, like they have
Speaker 1: a Kale me crazy here. What do you think of
Speaker 1: those pun names for the businesses? Know you like that,
Speaker 1: like walk and roll? How you feel about that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, whatever it's it's it's it sticks
Speaker 1: in your brain. That's the whole idea I think does
Speaker 1: I don't know, kille me crazy, but it sticks in
Speaker 1: your brain, it does. Um. Well, this person didn't understand
Speaker 1: this exercise at all, but that's okay. We'll just skip
Speaker 1: over that one. Christopher Steiner says, moral combat. That's pretty good,
Speaker 1: chuck hot take real quick. I saw that you quite
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. I felt the same way as you felt.
Speaker 1: Save it blood sport, save it for stream this No, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: put a pin in that. We'll come back putting a
Speaker 1: pin in it. Putting a pin in uh, Lee las
Speaker 1: Stovika says, Mary, Poopin's okay, A lot of poop poop
Speaker 1: jokes here, very scatologically minded crushers. It is Benjamin Ka
Speaker 1: says Jurassic Spark. No, I don't know what that's about
Speaker 1: it and I need more and it needs a subtitle.
Speaker 1: Christopher Steiner says, jig trouble in Little China. It becomes
Speaker 1: a fishing movie. Like a fishing jig. I thought I've
Speaker 1: never heard that used before. I thought it was a rig.
Speaker 1: Was your jig like a type of a lure? Is
Speaker 1: that like a lure? Yeah, let me see fishing jig.
Speaker 1: I think a jig is a jig fishing. It's a
Speaker 1: way to fish. It's a style how to fish a jig.
Speaker 1: But that's a hot YouTube. What now? For the record, though, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I type in fishing jig and the first thing that
Speaker 1: comes up in the little boxes just fishing lure. So jig.
Speaker 1: I think it's just another name for a fishing lure. Uh,
Speaker 1: what does jig fishing mean? People are just like, are
Speaker 1: you guys kidding me? With this jigging into practice of
Speaker 1: fishing with a jig type of fishing lure. A jig
Speaker 1: consists of a lead sinker with a hook molded into
Speaker 1: to it and usually covered by a soft body. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know what this is. It's like a little fake
Speaker 1: fish that has a hook in it, right, It's like
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, is that a minnow? Oh god, it's
Speaker 1: not a minnow. I'm dead and I'm dead. Um. You
Speaker 1: could also be a movie about Irish dancing. Sure dance
Speaker 1: a jig starring uh who else Michael Flatley. Of course
Speaker 1: it's got he is the lord of the dance after all, Chuck,
Speaker 1: there is none greater uh Noah King, says Godzilla versus Bong.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I love that. Can you imagine Stone
Speaker 1: Godzilla just bashing his way and like eating, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the doughnut factory. It wouldn't be so fun. Did you
Speaker 1: watch that? I quite enjoyed it. Yes, So here's what
Speaker 1: I did. Noal I and I've done this before and
Speaker 1: someone got really mad at me for doing this. But
Speaker 1: I fast forwarded through most of the people stuff because
Speaker 1: it was so goddamn much of it, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: very good, way less than there was in the King
Speaker 1: of the Monsters. They they they clearly paired it back
Speaker 1: by quite a lot. I'm with you, that's the least
Speaker 1: interesting part. But the monster fights are dope. I think
Speaker 1: they're pretty fun, especially that last one was very old school,
Speaker 1: uh sort of you know, to put it in a
Speaker 1: downtown setting and that kind of day glow fluorescence setting.
Speaker 1: I thought it looks kind of neat. Well, it's that dude,
Speaker 1: Adam Wingard, who does really cool films. He did We
Speaker 1: did Your Next and The Guest, and he's really into
Speaker 1: that like neon kind of eighties pastiche. I really like
Speaker 1: him as a filmmaker. Um, it's nice to see that
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's of course doing the thing. He's
Speaker 1: going the way of so many interesting indie filmmakers and
Speaker 1: making big, kind of bland tent pole movies now that
Speaker 1: really have none of his signature, uh you know, style.
Speaker 1: But still I really enjoyed this. So I thought it
Speaker 1: was fun and I found myself engaged the whole way through.
Speaker 1: And what do you expect? It's but it is what
Speaker 1: it is. It's it was fun. You're Next. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard of that. It is that really good. Your Next
Speaker 1: is great. It's like a horror kind of like home
Speaker 1: invasion movie, but it's like it's a fi finally, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's funny. Though it's a final girl kind of movie
Speaker 1: where there's like this badass you know what woman who
Speaker 1: kind of takes control over the invaders and uh and
Speaker 1: and puts everyone down. It's not a spoiler, it's just
Speaker 1: like the way it goes. Really, I think it's fun.
Speaker 1: But I like Adam and I'll check it out. I
Speaker 1: didn't know of this filmmaker. Let me see here. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: somebody gets getting a little snarky here said please reread instructions.
Speaker 1: It happens. Alfonso Garaba says, Spider moan see now, and
Speaker 1: now they're all just becoming pornos. Christopher Steiner says, batteries
Speaker 1: now included. How convenient, How convenient we can play right
Speaker 1: from the go the word go. Oh, this is good.
Speaker 1: Alphonso garab a once again Irony Man instead of Iron Man.

Speaker 1: his only power. Jonathan Cooley, one of her old friends.
Speaker 1: This is good. The Nice Storm. What a pleasant film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that film. Nothing bad happens to anybody, know.
Speaker 1: You just sit on the front porch with your mint
Speaker 1: jewelip and which that summer rain flow in and just
Speaker 1: chat and just chat. Yeah. Uh oh interesting Coolie comes
Speaker 1: back again with the double the human centipede with an
Speaker 1: S on the front, like a smell the centipede. That's
Speaker 1: not a thing, but it's funny. It is funny. Michael
Speaker 1: anton Juanski says, fart in a way. Ian Lyons says,
Speaker 1: the Nope book it's not bad. Huh No, it's good.
Speaker 1: That's sort of like the probably the burn book from
Speaker 1: Mean Girls. The notebook is like a list of people
Speaker 1: that suck or something. Scott Lawton has a nice twist
Speaker 1: Spreadator story about a COVID super spreader. I'm surprised no
Speaker 1: one's done a sort of a banked on that COVID
Speaker 1: fear and done something like that. I'm sure it'll happen.
Speaker 1: It's probably one of those. Like it took a while
Speaker 1: for them to make the first nine eleven movie that
Speaker 1: long passenger not Passenger f seven, What was it? It
Speaker 1: was like, un yeah, did you see that? Man? I
Speaker 1: want to see those. I don't know why. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't appeal to me, Like it just seems depressing. And
Speaker 1: that was pretty hardcore. Yeah, I'm sure it was. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's good. Isn't that green Grass? Paul green Grass
Speaker 1: did that. I think so it was. It was good.
Speaker 1: The ending was really really tough. Obviously. I think that's
Speaker 1: the only nine eleven movie I saw, though I didn't
Speaker 1: see there were only a couple man and there was
Speaker 1: one that was literally called nine eleven or like Twin
Speaker 1: Towers or something like that. Yeah, I stayed away from those.
Speaker 1: Liz Anna is back Forest Grump, She's on fire, she
Speaker 1: has another one Lars and the renal girl. That's like,
Speaker 1: what about some sort of like hospice nurse or something
Speaker 1: or what is this? I guess what is renal? Is it?
Speaker 1: That renal is like Kindakrin systems? Yeah, exactly, kidney function
Speaker 1: large and the renal girl. Interesting. James Nordstrom says Star
Speaker 1: Truck not bad. James nord Stromasa says Lord of the Wings.
Speaker 1: I love that because I instantly say that like as
Speaker 1: a as a small child with a whisp. You know,
Speaker 1: you sweepy, you want to watch? What are the wings?
Speaker 1: Liz Anne is on fire and old She's back again,
Speaker 1: diet hard. Oh I am in I'm in desperate need
Speaker 1: of that film, dude, Chuck there, brother. There is a
Speaker 1: movie from seventeen that's just called nine eleven, starring Charlie
Speaker 1: Sheen really yeah, and Whoopie Goldberg and Gina Gershan. I
Speaker 1: do not think it is meant to be very good. Well,
Speaker 1: they probably meant it to be good. Oh boy. I
Speaker 1: think when Charlie Sheen is top lining your movie these days,
Speaker 1: that sends a strong message to an audience, doesn't It
Speaker 1: Sure does. So I got this weird, you know, Josh
Speaker 1: and I did an episode on Truffles recently and someone
Speaker 1: wrote in and said, hey, I just wrote a movie
Speaker 1: starring uh and directed a movie that starred Nicholas Cage
Speaker 1: about a truffle hunter whose pig goes missing. And I
Speaker 1: was like, is this real? And I looked him up.
Speaker 1: His name is Michael Saransky. This is a real person.
Speaker 1: This is a film based on Michael Sarnowski. And yes,
Speaker 1: he wrote and directed of Nicholas Cage movie that I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's out yet or if he shot
Speaker 1: it last year. But I wrote him back. He wrote
Speaker 1: an email It's like, hey, dude, you should come on
Speaker 1: movie crush Nicolas Cage to know your story. He will
Speaker 1: do whatever. One of the questions. For sure, we'd be like,
Speaker 1: what's the process of getting Nicolas Cage in your movie.
Speaker 1: I gotta know. He a friend of mine worked on
Speaker 1: a movie he shot here in Atlanta that was called Revenge,
Speaker 1: a Love Story. It was basically straight to video. Um,
Speaker 1: it didn't do anything. And now he's got this one
Speaker 1: out where he's like a janitor and a haunted Chucky
Speaker 1: cheese kind of situation, or he's like slashing all these
Speaker 1: like puppet monsters that are coming for him. I saw
Speaker 1: a preview for that. I think Nicolas Cage just wants
Speaker 1: some money, yeah, and just a steady income of lots
Speaker 1: of money. But then he pops in, you know, occasionally
Speaker 1: to some gems and some absolute genius Like I think, uh,
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys where when used properly, I
Speaker 1: think he's just one of the best. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: he he made a decision. He used to do the
Speaker 1: sort of one for me, one for them, thing like
Speaker 1: do a really like a leaving Las Vegas. But then
Speaker 1: also it's some like a con air. But then he
Speaker 1: got to a point in his career where he was
Speaker 1: just like, I'll do whatever comes my way straight to video.
Speaker 1: I don't care. He probably has a set fee that's
Speaker 1: like here's what it costs to get me in your movie,
Speaker 1: and here is what I need to be in the movie, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I need a trailer of this size, and
Speaker 1: I need I can't be on set for more than
Speaker 1: eight hours a day, like, I bet he has very
Speaker 1: strict parameters around and they're probably just like, here's the deal,
Speaker 1: and you can have me if you if you meet
Speaker 1: these requirements. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And then my friend
Speaker 1: gave me some some scoop on what he was like.
Speaker 1: She said he was incredibly professional when it comes to
Speaker 1: like shooting and being ready to go and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: no bullshit, just like on at all times. But he
Speaker 1: also burns through assistance, you know, like Gangbusters, because he's
Speaker 1: apparently very very particular. I bet he's very particular. Oh
Speaker 1: let me see here Fright Club from Sar Chili. That's good.
Speaker 1: That sounds like it could have been a TV show.
Speaker 1: Let's do a couple of more of these. Oh, Christopher
Speaker 1: Paxton instead of Jaws, he has Jawas. Why was it
Speaker 1: there a Jawa's movie. Yeah, that's a good question. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's like a whole at least a couple of e
Speaker 1: Walks movies and talk. Well, there was Ewalk movie. There
Speaker 1: was a Ewalk Battle for Indoor. I believe um that
Speaker 1: you know what's his name, Warwick Davis was in it
Speaker 1: playing widget the e walk. And there's another one. There's
Speaker 1: one called Caravan of Courage, an ewalk adventure which maybe
Speaker 1: was animated, but e walks. The Battle for end Or
Speaker 1: was a was a full length of feature. Hmm. I've
Speaker 1: heard of it, but I didn't go down those side
Speaker 1: roads and that universal I just I was. I remember
Speaker 1: just seeing it on the movie shelf at the Blockbuster
Speaker 1: when I was a kid watching it that way. A right,
Speaker 1: let me see if I can find a couple of
Speaker 1: more good ones here. Martin Kidd says the Deported instead
Speaker 1: of the departed. Dermott Knife says, blame runner. That's funny.
Speaker 1: What is I don't know why I do you now?
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a it's a movie about a
Speaker 1: bunch of petty people pointing fingers at each other in
Speaker 1: the future. All right, let's just finish it out with
Speaker 1: this one more, actually two more. These are both pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kelly Burns Brockington, one of our old friends, says, punt
Speaker 1: for Red October not bad. And we'll finish it out
Speaker 1: with this banger from scott to w register. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show. It sounds like a toast of London name,
Speaker 1: by the way, it doesn't it, uh, pilates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1: That's great. That was the best one. That's fantastic. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of that's happening behind the scenes. It's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I love it. That's wonderful. Good job everybody, all right, now,
Speaker 1: let's stream this out. Let's talk Mortal Kombat. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: I liked it. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I liked it too. I saw your post and I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree with you more. It feels like one of
Speaker 1: those eighties movies then, h it's fun to watch. It's
Speaker 1: light on story because who gives a ship? The dialogue
Speaker 1: is garbage because who gives a ship? And the action
Speaker 1: is fun and and and and the characters are fun.
Speaker 1: And it's like, I mean, it definitely fizzles at some
Speaker 1: point where you're just like, it just kind of ends,
Speaker 1: you know. But I really liked it. I was on board.
Speaker 1: I thought, and agains I've got nostalgia for that franchise
Speaker 1: so hard. I don't think you probably do is quite
Speaker 1: as much. But like I remember seeing that arcade machine
Speaker 1: and seeing finish him and you know, the spine hanging down.
Speaker 1: There was nothing else like that, and it was just
Speaker 1: very arresting. Uh. So I definitely have followed those games,
Speaker 1: you know, since my childhood, and it was fun to
Speaker 1: see the thing people actually came to that for is
Speaker 1: is the gore because the ones from the nineties were
Speaker 1: PG thirteen and it's like, what are you doing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I played H and A one. Here's my story of
Speaker 1: the game. I didn't play the arcade game. But when
Speaker 1: I was in college, my probably for a second, third
Speaker 1: year maybe or fourth year in college. Uh, one of
Speaker 1: my friends got the whatever the best gaming and maybe
Speaker 1: it was the in sixty four was the good gaming system.
Speaker 1: And the two games that we played more than any
Speaker 1: other word Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter Too, And um
Speaker 1: we played Mortal Kombat untill our eyes bled, and so
Speaker 1: I have a lot of love for that game and
Speaker 1: the characters, the gorey you were talking about, just seeing
Speaker 1: even that beginning scene whenever who would uh, whenever the
Speaker 1: dude would pull out the the blade and that just
Speaker 1: the way the blood spurt it out each time looked
Speaker 1: just like the game. I thought they honored the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: it looked pretty good, I thought for a movie that
Speaker 1: probably didn't have the biggest budget in the world. And dude,
Speaker 1: I liked the fact that it had you know, sort
Speaker 1: of be level actors that that movie would not would
Speaker 1: have been as fun to me if it would have
Speaker 1: been sort of all these recognizable names and faces, oh
Speaker 1: a million percent. And also the fact that the you know,
Speaker 1: the Asian characters actually spoke like there was like Chinese
Speaker 1: characters or Japanese characters, and they spoke their language, and
Speaker 1: there were subtitles. Um, I gotta say check. It's funny.
Speaker 1: The obviously, I'm I remember all of the iterations of
Speaker 1: this game because I kind of grew up with it.
Speaker 1: But the Nintendo version was bloodless? Was it? It was? Well,
Speaker 1: then that was not what we played. It was probably
Speaker 1: Sega Genesis. Maybe Sega Genesis had it and it was
Speaker 1: definitely there's blood in that one. But then when it
Speaker 1: was out in there on Nintendo, uh, it was they
Speaker 1: took all the blood out because Nintendo was a bloodless system.
Speaker 1: Really are they still like that? They definitely shy away
Speaker 1: from from super bloody content. I don't know, but there
Speaker 1: was a time where there's so many indie games now
Speaker 1: it's hard to say, but there was a time where
Speaker 1: like any game that would come out on Nintendo had
Speaker 1: to have a certain you know, PG thirteen quality. Did
Speaker 1: you have a go to character that you played. I
Speaker 1: always liked Scorpion because he was such a cheap shot.
Speaker 1: He could do that get over here move, you know,
Speaker 1: just do it repeatedly, an uppercut, get over here, upper cut,
Speaker 1: upper cut. It was such a cheap that was great.
Speaker 1: In the movie, use the uppercut, honey, you use the
Speaker 1: upper right. Oh. There was even a joke in the
Speaker 1: movie about the leg sweep, which was the cheapest movie
Speaker 1: you could do. Just sweeping over and over again. Looked
Speaker 1: exactly like the game. That was a total reference to
Speaker 1: that cheap shot arcade move where if you were playing
Speaker 1: somebody who would just constantly sweep the leg. I played
Speaker 1: Luke Kang a lot for that reason, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I was okay, but I wasn't like I
Speaker 1: feel like my friends were like masters at the game,
Speaker 1: and I was always just trying to hang in there,
Speaker 1: sweeping legs. When sweeping legs, get over here in uppercut,
Speaker 1: rise and repeat, he also had that great Luke Kang
Speaker 1: had that great um flying kick that he would do,
Speaker 1: and they sort of aped that in the movie. Yep,
Speaker 1: there's one. I will say. It's funny like in the
Speaker 1: the game, the sound effects that that character makes are there.
Speaker 1: It don't hold up so well to scrutiny, like what's
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for, kind of stereotypical. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know ninja kind of sounds. You know. They they
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't go there, which I appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was and you know I missed I mean this
Speaker 1: was in college when I played Mortal Kombat, so I'm
Speaker 1: sure I missed a lot of references in Easter eggs
Speaker 1: that like super fans of the game picked up on,
Speaker 1: because I know they are quite quite a few of them.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I liked it. It was everything I wanted. Uh,
Speaker 1: tons of fighting. I mean, that's what you want out
Speaker 1: of that game. It's like they did not skimp on
Speaker 1: the fight scenes. Just nope, put it in my neck,
Speaker 1: put it right in there. Another thing I'm watching knol
Speaker 1: now that you I'm sure I don't care anything about,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't care anything about. But
Speaker 1: I'm watching this documentary called The Last Dance documentary series
Speaker 1: on Think Netflix about the final season of the Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan's Chicago Bulls Run. And it's heard, it's incredible, it's great,
Speaker 1: it's really really good. And that was when I was
Speaker 1: really really big into basketball in the NBA, a sort
Speaker 1: of in the salad days. And uh so it's bringing
Speaker 1: back all these nostalgic feelings and uh and you know
Speaker 1: the deal was, they had a documentary crew shoot that
Speaker 1: season and they never did anything with it. So they've
Speaker 1: now been able to put this stuff together in a
Speaker 1: very very compelling way. Um, just great, very well done.
Speaker 1: So if you're a fan of that stuff and you
Speaker 1: haven't checked it out yet, highly recommend The Last Dance. Awesome.
Speaker 1: What about Yeah, I've been I've been hearing nothing but
Speaker 1: amazing things about that for quite a while now. And
Speaker 1: I know it's not my thing on the surface, but
Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued because it sounds like it's got a
Speaker 1: lot of drama and just like really cool and nostalgist.
Speaker 1: I watched I said, I watched Mortal Kombat. Um what
Speaker 1: else did I watched recently? That was really good? Um?
Speaker 1: Almost done with my six ft understream and I saw
Speaker 1: the news. Yeah, man, I'm excited. Uh, And I am
Speaker 1: about midway through the final season, so I'm kind of
Speaker 1: right behind you about Alan Ball coming on the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's incredible. It's pretty amazing. Like I just kept waiting
Speaker 1: for it to fall apart, and I pitched the date
Speaker 1: and they're like, he's great for that date, and a
Speaker 1: pitch of the time he's like, he's great for that time.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe it. I'm so American Beauty was a
Speaker 1: big movie for me. I'm sure that one's hard to
Speaker 1: watch now with Spacey, but I think he took everything
Speaker 1: that was great about American Beauty and like stretched it
Speaker 1: into a series that just has so much heart and
Speaker 1: it's so cathartic and wonderful everything about I just in
Speaker 1: awe of that series. And I'm watching with my girlfriend
Speaker 1: at the same time and seeing her experience it for
Speaker 1: the first time as I'm experiencing it kind of like
Speaker 1: for the third time. Um, it's it's really really fine. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that and I just restarted Wordwalk Empire. I
Speaker 1: realized that I never finished it and it's kick ass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really it's quite good. Um. But That's that's all
Speaker 1: that comes to mind. I've been I've been kind of
Speaker 1: neck deep and trying to finish those those rewatches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been letting the movies pile up a
Speaker 1: little bit because we're kind of slogging, not slogging like
Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoying six ft under. But I do want to
Speaker 1: see Nomad Land Father God don't want to see The Father.
Speaker 1: The Father I want to see I mean, I want
Speaker 1: to see all the one Mom Rainey's Black Bottom. I
Speaker 1: still haven't seen. Like, I was just really behind on
Speaker 1: the movies. We didn't do any Oscar content. I was
Speaker 1: not into it this year. I didn't even watch the
Speaker 1: Oscars for the first time since I was probably like
Speaker 1: a ten. Yeah, I do have to say our our
Speaker 1: fellow podcast network buddy quest Love uh was did the
Speaker 1: music for the Oscars this year, and he was all
Speaker 1: up in that spinning ceremony. He was spinning and he
Speaker 1: wore these like golden crocs, which I thought was an
Speaker 1: awesome flex. That's cool. Trying to get him on the
Speaker 1: show through our network and they're just like no. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: what what good is it? Being on the same network
Speaker 1: who said no? We'll talk offline. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it seems like no one wants to ask. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: what it is. Well, I know the people. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can ask, So you know, that's who I should
Speaker 1: have talked to from the from the get go. YA
Speaker 1: should have talked to you. You get things done, NOL
Speaker 1: after nine, but you get things done. Hey, I do
Speaker 1: the best I can sho. By the way, lots of
Speaker 1: good feedback on the on the Kesha episode to bring
Speaker 1: up and thank you again. Yeah, she's so cool, man,

Speaker 1: love these little NOL takeovers from time to time. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's great. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm here for it, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. Yeah. And you seem like he
Speaker 1: had a great rapport with her. She's been on something
Speaker 1: I don't want you to know before, talking about psychedelics.
Speaker 1: So she's a lovely person. That's great. You're you're probably
Speaker 1: uh internet pals now right this more or less, you know,
Speaker 1: she's a big shot, she's a cool person. She's definitely
Speaker 1: a big shot though she's a genuine pop star. Genuine
Speaker 1: pop star. Uh, did it remind you of six ft Under?

Speaker 1: it was a stell? Are you thinking of? No? No,
Speaker 1: it was something like that. It was like, um, it
