Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush. Sitting here in
Speaker 1: the basement looking at a video screen with Knowles mug,
Speaker 1: my mug, drinking iced coffee out of a Mason jar.
Speaker 1: I got a mug for a face and a jar
Speaker 1: for a mug. Did your generation say like a mug
Speaker 1: at all? Or was that or that's as something as
Speaker 1: a mug, like you know, it's it was sort of
Speaker 1: a stand in for like m fer you know, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I had a feeling it was strictly gen X.
Speaker 1: Oh that was we we got that from y'all. I guess, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah I was. It's certainly not a thing now,
Speaker 1: but I remember it being I think I was in
Speaker 1: the crossover period where that was still around and then
Speaker 1: it kind of like went the way of you know,
Speaker 1: it went away, like that's just dandy. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna bring it back like a mug. I think you
Speaker 1: should like a mug. So Noel, yo, uh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get going here. I've been in a bad headspace, like
Speaker 1: from the internet. Yeah, such that. I actually started last
Speaker 1: Friday with a complete um news blackout. And social media
Speaker 1: blackout songs. What I've had to do for work. And
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, I haven't missed anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I checked back in with stuff and things are
Speaker 1: still awful. Well that, yeah, it's not. If you want awful,
Speaker 1: that's what you've got for you, like a mug Like
Speaker 1: I'm awful as a mug chuck, you know what. I
Speaker 1: could see that and like it's sort of a cleanse
Speaker 1: right like kind of like, uh, yeah, I'm with that, dude.
Speaker 1: I think I should do the same. Thing it's been
Speaker 1: does is rile me up. I don't actually get any
Speaker 1: good information. It's not like I don't know. It just
Speaker 1: makes me feel more powerless and afraid the same, so
Speaker 1: I can recommend it. It's been great. I can tell
Speaker 1: you that it changes nothing about the world to black
Speaker 1: out for a little while. I do think people should
Speaker 1: be informed, but you can also take a little rest.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I found out, you know, I
Speaker 1: found out Chadwick Boseman died days later. That that was
Speaker 1: a sad thing to learn. And that's why the post
Speaker 1: about it. People are wondering why I ignored that. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just because I haven't been online. But that was
Speaker 1: shocking and out of the blue and really really a big,
Speaker 1: big bummer, what a blow man. The fact that they
Speaker 1: kept it so quiet that he was saying, and that
Speaker 1: he obviously worked a lot while suffering and then and
Speaker 1: it's just brutal. Did you see that video? It was
Speaker 1: like a thing he did on Kimmel No Fallon where
Speaker 1: like people were thanking him on a video screen, like
Speaker 1: for his work on Black Panther, and he's like waiting
Speaker 1: in the wings to come out and surprise them, like
Speaker 1: you know, and they all just you know, freak out.
Speaker 1: But he just seemed like he had a real kindness
Speaker 1: and uh gentleness about him and he knew how important
Speaker 1: that role was to you know, people that look like him.
Speaker 1: And I think it was really powerful, powerful thing, powerful
Speaker 1: loss toes stuff. And I feel like he was just
Speaker 1: getting started, really uh big time superstar in the making.
Speaker 1: So very sad about that. But um, I can recommend
Speaker 1: staying away from the news for a little while, even
Speaker 1: if it's just a day or two, it really does
Speaker 1: a lot of good. I've been reading my Beatles book.
Speaker 1: I got a big, huge, the Bob Spitz Beatles Book,
Speaker 1: which is like a thousand pages or something and it
Speaker 1: is super dense. I'm on page three fifty and they
Speaker 1: just met Ringo. So what's it like reading a book, Chuck?
Speaker 1: What's it like? Oh? Man, it's great. I'd love to read.
Speaker 1: I bet. I mean, that's that's great. I think I've
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of friends about this, and it
Speaker 1: seems to be a pretty common malady these days. But
Speaker 1: I just don't have the attentions, man I used to.
Speaker 1: I get distracted so easily because of our whole a
Speaker 1: D D culture, and so much of what I do
Speaker 1: for the shows is like reading things and little snippets
Speaker 1: and little short form pieces, and I have a hard
Speaker 1: time pulling focus for like a book length. You know,
Speaker 1: it sucks. I gotta I gotta figure out a way
Speaker 1: around that. Man, Well, you gotta make yourself. Here's what
Speaker 1: you do, is you you get away from any screen, like,
Speaker 1: don't you have your phone near you because you're gonna
Speaker 1: be tempted to get that dopamine hit. Uh. So I
Speaker 1: go into my sun room, which is lovely, and it's
Speaker 1: at night and almost kind of mad because I've bailed
Speaker 1: on watching Dark with her for now because this is
Speaker 1: just what I need. So I go in there, I
Speaker 1: make a drink. I've got the the view lighting set
Speaker 1: up in a nice dim manner, plus my little reading light,
Speaker 1: and I sit there for fucking three hours and read
Speaker 1: and it's just as calming as you can imagine. That's great.
Speaker 1: Sounds lovely. Highly recommend reading. Everybody start to believe that
Speaker 1: you have to actually recommend reading these days when it
Speaker 1: used to just be a thing people did. But yeah,
Speaker 1: remember book it that was. That wasn't your generation. It
Speaker 1: was a it was a thing when I was in
Speaker 1: schoolier You got your in points for reading certain books,
Speaker 1: and at the end of the year you get a
Speaker 1: pizza party or something like that, and you went to
Speaker 1: It was you know, old school pizza high with the
Speaker 1: salad bar and the weird stained glass kind of like things.
Speaker 1: You know, everything's red is Yeah, I remember that very fondly. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, when I finished this book, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a pizza, have it delivered to my house, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat it. So I think the what I gosh,
Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of the White Album was the other day.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, that's I think that that's my favorite
Speaker 1: Beatles record. I know, that's pretty thought thought of pretty
Speaker 1: uniformly as their masterpiece. I really like Magical Mystery Tour two,
Speaker 1: but that those are my two favorites, you know what
Speaker 1: I am A I mean, I love it all. I've
Speaker 1: always been a huge Beatles fan, but I'm a sort
Speaker 1: of a rubber soul revolver guy, because that, to me
Speaker 1: was the that very kind of dead center point between
Speaker 1: mop Top Please Please Me, She Loves You and Weirdness
Speaker 1: that was to come interesting crossover. It sort of has
Speaker 1: vibes of both, you know, It's like, yeah, I like that,
Speaker 1: that's cool. I love it and it's crazy to think
Speaker 1: about it. And I've said this a bunch, but the
Speaker 1: Beatles went from She Loves You Too Abbey Road and
Speaker 1: Let it Be in like eight years. It's bonkers. It's
Speaker 1: what a meteoric career. God man, I can't imagine kind
Speaker 1: of growth and u transformation. I found out about the
Speaker 1: White Album things. There's an article I for a forget
Speaker 1: Slate or something, but remember when they went to hang
Speaker 1: out with that Yogi guy, the Maharish Yogi or whatever whatever,
Speaker 1: the Ricci exactly, and they and and Donovan hung out
Speaker 1: with them without Donovan do I like Donovan too. But
Speaker 1: when they came back from that, they and like leading
Speaker 1: up to the White album, apparently he told them they
Speaker 1: had like painted they're really amazing acoustic guitars with like
Speaker 1: psychedelic stuff, you know, and like made them all um
Speaker 1: trippy looking, and he told them to sand it off.
Speaker 1: Does it make the wood sing more? It would sound
Speaker 1: better because it like dampens it if you have pain
Speaker 1: on it. And so they sanded it off. And the
Speaker 1: way the article kind of teet it up was that
Speaker 1: it was also like very um symbolic of them, like
Speaker 1: shedding that like psychedelic twee kind of image and then
Speaker 1: moving into the super mature album. Not to say there
Speaker 1: are other stuffs not mature, but the White album something
Speaker 1: about it is very each of them in their own
Speaker 1: at their best, you know what I mean. Like even
Speaker 1: Ringo had a few bangers on that. Hey, Ringo was
Speaker 1: Ringo was Ringo great drummer. I don't love his songs,
Speaker 1: but they had a quality to him. You don't like
Speaker 1: oct to pus his garden chuck. I mean, it's fun,
Speaker 1: Ruby Loves It's a it's a fun kid song. Well,
Speaker 1: what's this obsession with nautical ship? It's this kind of
Speaker 1: a ringo thing. Was it Octopus his Garden and Yellow Submarines?
Speaker 1: And I guess was for his I think, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a goofy song. Yeah, I think there were drugs involved.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. It's certainly possible. Uh and
Speaker 1: still not the definitive Beatles movie and all since this
Speaker 1: is the movie show it's There's been a lot of
Speaker 1: Beatles movies, but not the Beatles movie. You know, Well,
Speaker 1: I thought there was a really big one, that Peter
Speaker 1: Jackson one or something. No, not Peter jar somebody did
Speaker 1: a big one recently that used all kinds of crazy
Speaker 1: archival footage. Maybe I'm miss well, he he that is
Speaker 1: not out yet. He is thinking, is Peter Jackson this
Speaker 1: Let It Be? Taking the Let it Be sessions and
Speaker 1: all the unseen footage from Let It Be? Because you know,
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen the Let it Be footage, it's
Speaker 1: very much like a bandoned disintegration, just sitting around arguing.
Speaker 1: But he was like, there's a lot of great stuff
Speaker 1: showing the Beatles enjoying each other's company and playing songs
Speaker 1: and collaborating, he said, and everyone needs to see this.
Speaker 1: And he's he's doing it, so I can't wait for that.
Speaker 1: But I mean a biopic, man, Like, there's been some
Speaker 1: really good Beatles movies. Nowhere Boy was great, the movie
Speaker 1: about John Lennon and his youth. Backbeat was good. Who
Speaker 1: played John Lennon in that? Anybody famous? I can't remember
Speaker 1: Nowhere Boy movie? It was? It's Jack Nicholson? No oh oh,
Speaker 1: it's uh yeah, Aaron Taylor Johnson. I know that guy,
Speaker 1: got it? You know him? He's from kick Ass. I
Speaker 1: think when't that his movie? Un does any does anything
Speaker 1: pop off? Like for casting for you for like a
Speaker 1: quintessential Beatles biopic? Like you got a Paul in mind? No?
Speaker 1: I mean I don't either. I don't hate nothing that
Speaker 1: comes to mind. I think you gotta kind of go
Speaker 1: unknowns um. In this movie, Paul was played by Thomas
Speaker 1: Brodie Sangster who you would recognize what was he? And
Speaker 1: he was a maze runner and love actually and some
Speaker 1: other stuff. But Nowhere Boy was really good. Backbeat was good.
Speaker 1: That was a story of Stu Sutcliffe played by um
Speaker 1: what's his face from Nowhere Nowhere? You know Stephen Dorff?
Speaker 1: M Yeah, of course he played student Sofia couple of
Speaker 1: the movie. Yep, good movie again, but not the quintessential
Speaker 1: sort of Beatles biopics. I hope it happens for you, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I really do. I hope it happens for you. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't care. Well that is uh, that's
Speaker 1: one way to handle it all. All right, let's move
Speaker 1: on then, since you don't care. Oh my god. I
Speaker 1: took this from the Movie Crushers pages from Brandon Weiss.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's vice or vice, but it
Speaker 1: is a post that I think kind of fit well
Speaker 1: with the topic of uplifting everybody. I saw it was
Speaker 1: universally loved movies. Yep. Great idea. And I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: bottom up because I've been getting a lot of grief
Speaker 1: from the Movie Crushers for reading top down in the
Speaker 1: same people getting spoken of on every episode right on,
Speaker 1: So new old pals coming at you. Jenny Riggs, Hello Jenny,
Speaker 1: she says, Emily pretty pretty universally loved to movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got a got a heart. That's that's a lovely movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's like homily sucked totally. That
Speaker 1: would be someone I would not want to hang with
Speaker 1: what a piece a ship movie that was? Uh what
Speaker 1: was that about? Janice Bridges says Paddington to no one.
Speaker 1: I've seen both Paddington's. Now we haven't talked about this. Fantastic,
Speaker 1: aren't they? Incredible and delightful in every possible way, every
Speaker 1: possible way, Very very good movies, very well done, very
Speaker 1: stylistically interesting. Who'd have thought on paper it seems like
Speaker 1: such a weird ass idea. And then god, I mean,
Speaker 1: just handled with such care and just love. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm enamored by those movies. Both very good. Grant Woody says,
Speaker 1: Away we go. You know, I think, uh, it's an
Speaker 1: underseen movie. I quite enjoyed it. Did you see it?
Speaker 1: I'm looking it up. Oh wait, Krasinski, Yeah, who is that? Okay,
Speaker 1: Now I don't know anything about it. Very good movie
Speaker 1: and again underseen m and I don't know anyone who
Speaker 1: hated it. Bobo Temple says this, and I have not
Speaker 1: seen Swiss Army Man yet, but I have heard nothing
Speaker 1: but good things. It's awesome, it's wacky and just bizarre,
Speaker 1: and the fact that it exists is a revelation. It's
Speaker 1: really cool. It's a cool ass movie. It is a
Speaker 1: cool ass movie. Um, and you know what, I just realized,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. I had two tabs up and I
Speaker 1: was reading from the wrong one, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: a similar one because I was The next bit up
Speaker 1: was movies that just make you feel good. So that's
Speaker 1: kind of funny. So those people that I just read
Speaker 1: those were actually movies that make them feel good. Nold
Speaker 1: not universally loved. I think they kind of qualified though,
Speaker 1: how do I mean, how do you how do you
Speaker 1: qualify universally loved? Like it's just like at anyone you
Speaker 1: mentioned it too wouldn't have a negative thing to say
Speaker 1: about it. I think so Swiss Army Man was pretty divisive. Actually,
Speaker 1: I would say a lot of people like didn't get it,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, well that's the only one I
Speaker 1: think that that doesn't work. But now that I found
Speaker 1: the right tab, we will continue with universally of movies. Uh.
Speaker 1: Cary Nelson says, ET, of course, who didn't like ET?
Speaker 1: You might think it's sad, but that's different than not
Speaker 1: liking something. And like we wouldn't have the phrase penis
Speaker 1: breath if it wasn't for ET. Well, that's a good point.
Speaker 1: Also a universally loved thing phrase insults. Uh Meg beast
Speaker 1: Garan says toy Story. Sure, who didn't like Toy Story? Yeah,
Speaker 1: those definitely hit the buttons. Ghostbusters. That comes from Andrew Reamer.
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Here's one I think I
Speaker 1: might be. Yeah, yeah, this is sort of a joke.
Speaker 1: Naked Nathan Nicholas says Star Wars the Last Jedi, But
Speaker 1: I think that's just a bit of a tongue in cheek.
Speaker 1: It was because that was particularly divisive of all of them,
Speaker 1: like the most probably well yeah, well, I mean those puels,
Speaker 1: well all, yeah, the prequels are as a whole or divisive,
Speaker 1: but of the of the newer kind of next gen ones,
Speaker 1: that was the one. The fans, a lot of them
Speaker 1: were like angry because they took it in a different
Speaker 1: direction they didn't like. I totally agree. Robin Simmons. Watt says,
Speaker 1: this movie is perfection in every sense of the word.
Speaker 1: And she is talking, of course about the Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: Baseball movie, the classic that I've covered here on this
Speaker 1: very show, nol Can you guess it a league of
Speaker 1: their own? Yes, there's only one that was recommended to me,
Speaker 1: real hard yesterday. I saw it in the theaters, but
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it since, uh, and I really don't
Speaker 1: remember much about it except the Madonna and Rosie o'donnald
Speaker 1: in it and that he says there's no crying in baseball.
Speaker 1: Really good movie. I want to check it out, and
Speaker 1: I think pretty universally loved. I think that counts. Back
Speaker 1: to the Future is on here a bunch our old Palazack.
Speaker 1: Pointer talks about Back to the Future and there are
Speaker 1: many many people on board that let me see here.
Speaker 1: Meg Baskaran actually is on again and she says, this
Speaker 1: is a pretty good question. I wonder which actor actress
Speaker 1: appears the most on this list, and she says, my
Speaker 1: money is on Tom Hanks. Could be because Big is
Speaker 1: on here a lot. I think he's kind of a
Speaker 1: universally loved actor, although I think people might be suffering
Speaker 1: from a little bit of Hanks hangover syndrome with all
Speaker 1: these sort of real life characters he's playing lately. And
Speaker 1: I agree he's kind of doing one after the other,
Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, I'd like to see him change
Speaker 1: it up a little bit totally. Let's just have Big two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: make another Big where he gets well, I think the
Speaker 1: way they would handle that would be that his he
Speaker 1: has a son or daughter that finds the Zoltranzoltar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: or maybe z Oultran. Maybe there's another one. I like
Speaker 1: Zoldtran makes me think it's sounds like soul train the
Speaker 1: zol Tran. Sir Jackie Sheehorn says, elf, yeah, you made
Speaker 1: me watch that recently, and uh, I see exact why
Speaker 1: it's such a fun It's not only a good holiday movie.
Speaker 1: It's just a good movie and it has such heart
Speaker 1: and it's funny. Genuinely, I agree. Uh, let me see
Speaker 1: Brandon Bisce, whose thread this is, He says, glad to
Speaker 1: see all the people writing Princess Bride. There's there's been
Speaker 1: a bunch of princess brides, he said. Sounds like I
Speaker 1: found the right group, and that is for sure the
Speaker 1: movie Crush family. Somebody posted something on the page just
Speaker 1: about like on a thread, thinking everybody for being such.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just like sort of like I'm
Speaker 1: so glad I found this community. Blah blah blah bah
Speaker 1: like it was a lot of people share that sentiment
Speaker 1: on their really really cool group of folks. It is
Speaker 1: a nice little corner of the Internet knoll, a nice,
Speaker 1: little quiet corner where people are almost always nice, and
Speaker 1: when they're not, they they can be they can leave
Speaker 1: the room, you know, totally, you can get out stand
Speaker 1: in a corner. Uh, Frank, Bauman says Hoosiers. Uh Frank,
Speaker 1: I love that movie. My only issue is is that
Speaker 1: some people just don't like sports movies. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: Probably not like sports movies, right, I like it when
Speaker 1: they're good. No, weirdly I do, okay, like, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I certainly like. Uh. I don't know, they're not. It's
Speaker 1: not my genre. But I've seen plenty and I quite enjoyed.
Speaker 1: I loved Any Given Sunday, that Oliver Stone movie. You're
Speaker 1: not into sports though at all? Already. I'm not a
Speaker 1: sports guy. No like, literally no sports you like at all.
Speaker 1: I think basketball is fun, but I don't follow sports.
Speaker 1: I would watch it with I didd a girl for
Speaker 1: a while. He was really into college football, and so
Speaker 1: i'd watch games with her, and she kind of taught
Speaker 1: me how to understand it, and and I definitely enjoyed
Speaker 1: it more when I kind of got the stakes and
Speaker 1: got what was going on and hung out with someone
Speaker 1: that was really invested in it, you know, but it's
Speaker 1: not really my bag. But I definitely think it's I
Speaker 1: see the value in it, absolutely, But you were just
Speaker 1: constantly waiting for a halftime when the love making sessions began. Indeed,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, the googe old David Goods says, Princess Bride,
Speaker 1: of course, And he said, I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: anything other than that, And he said, but I can't.
Speaker 1: It's a good one. Paul Takless Raiders of the Lost
Speaker 1: Ark very controversially. Robert Iron says, Chinatown. You know, Chinatown
Speaker 1: is pretty universally loved, but I think Roman Plansky that's stain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll probably drive some people away from that pick. That's true,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's weird though he's still like,
Speaker 1: I don't hasn't make anything in a long time. But uh,
Speaker 1: he seemed like he still was able to kind of
Speaker 1: fly into the radar and like have a career. He'll
Speaker 1: get accolades. Uh. Joseph Belle says, shawshank A lot of Shawshankers.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's so funny, dude. Like I had
Speaker 1: a call the other day about a Stephen King related
Speaker 1: thing and um. Apparently every piece of property, every piece
Speaker 1: of writing he has, every short story, every everything is
Speaker 1: like optioned like at all times. And it's like impossible
Speaker 1: to find an unoptioned Stephen King story in Yeah, I
Speaker 1: believe that because I mean take a flyer on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like he could he could wipe his butt
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper out option it for ten dollars.
Speaker 1: You never know that piece of paper could could come alive,
Speaker 1: it could become sentient and attack my family. And then
Speaker 1: you got a Stephen King movie. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love it Mary Poppins that comes from Sammy K. Hill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are we watched that recently? It's a it's a fun movie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The sequel too, was this sequel was quite good Mary
Speaker 1: Poppins Returns. It was had the same niceness to it.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. Now it was that the recent thing
Speaker 1: or was there aquel back then? That was the recent thing?
Speaker 1: It was with different Emily one. Yeah, I thought it
Speaker 1: was quite good. I didn't see that that was called
Speaker 1: Mary Poppins Returns. It was called Mary Poppins Returns, which
Speaker 1: sounds a little sinister kind of, doesn't it. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: see for you, She's coming Sarah Stapleton says, Jurassic Park,
Speaker 1: but she has countered from our old friend LINEA. Barnett said,
Speaker 1: my sister in law hates it because dinosaurs scare her.
Speaker 1: Does she know dinosaurs aren't realm that'd be my question, Well,
Speaker 1: they were real at one time. Do you believe in
Speaker 1: coastal Yeah? I do do. That's a big one. It's
Speaker 1: a big question. I know, Uh, you have a big
Speaker 1: A little A little bit, A little bit, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll take that. That's kind of a cop out. It is,
Speaker 1: but it's all you're gonna get out of me. You
Speaker 1: seem to be hedging but a lot. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know what if if if it's like if it's uh
Speaker 1: like like disembodied spirits. But I believe in like maybe
Speaker 1: memories or some little imprint that things that once we're
Speaker 1: living leave behind. I think. So that's why I say
Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm not quite sure what to call it.
Speaker 1: It's the same way I don't necessarily believe in God,
Speaker 1: but I believe in like power is greater than our understanding,
Speaker 1: you know. I like that. No, And I think the
Speaker 1: movie crushers like hearing, uh, where you park your garage?
Speaker 1: You know, I parked my whole garage well, and another
Speaker 1: and another much larger garage where you how you what
Speaker 1: what garage you're parking in? Basically, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's more of a car poard really, but I follow,
Speaker 1: I don't have a garage, our car pard noll As.
Speaker 1: You know you got a nice driveway, though, I do.
Speaker 1: That's a new driveway. So we're gonna move on to
Speaker 1: the original thing that I was reading, which is I
Speaker 1: asked for feel good movies, but not I was kind
Speaker 1: of looking for something deeper, not just like light and
Speaker 1: breezy it made me feel happy. I meant movies that
Speaker 1: really like make you walk away from it changed and
Speaker 1: thinking like the world is good? You know what I mean? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's all ask well, I uh, I'll save it. Um
Speaker 1: no I do uh, I don't know. Like I we
Speaker 1: talked about this before I was on did the interview
Speaker 1: segment with you about adaptation? Something about the end of
Speaker 1: that movie is as fucking batshit as that movie is.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I walk away feeling
Speaker 1: this utter sense of Catharsis and wonder and like just
Speaker 1: bigness of the universe and stuff I don't know like that.
Speaker 1: That's a big one for me yet always the end
Speaker 1: with the time laps flowers and happy together by the
Speaker 1: turtles playing and just graives me feeling that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good, hopeful mm hmmm. Uh, Bobo Temple, says Swiss
Speaker 1: Army Man. That's a great name, by the way, Bobo Temple,
Speaker 1: Bobo Temple, it's a band. It should be so a
Speaker 1: Swiss Army Man uplifting and makes you feel good about
Speaker 1: the unice. Yes, yes, it's a lovely it's it's got
Speaker 1: it's got a very similar energy to adaptation. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of screwball on its surface. It's got
Speaker 1: this sort of conceit that's very like on paper, just
Speaker 1: like what but then they they handle it with such
Speaker 1: heart and like enthusiasm and like creativity and it ends
Speaker 1: it ends up leading you with that feeling of wonder
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. It's very similar very Kindred movies
Speaker 1: to the work of Michelle Gundry and uh Spike Jones
Speaker 1: and very much in line with all that stuff, which
Speaker 1: is some of my favorite stuff in the in the universe.
Speaker 1: You know that new Charlie Coufman's coming soon to Netflix.
Speaker 1: I think it looks awesome. It's like a weird kind

Speaker 1: you know, when you see something just done so perfectly
Speaker 1: and and and like just like how did you even
Speaker 1: think of this? How did where did you even start?
Speaker 1: That's like it's like magic, you know, that's the kin

Speaker 1: that's uh. I want to say Barbara Streisand isn't that yeah,
Speaker 1: Barbara streisand Peter Bogdanovitch. I need to see that. It's
Speaker 1: got all the elements. Is that Ryan O'Neil, for God's sake? Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ian O'Neil. I don't know. I see I need to
Speaker 1: I need to brush up on some of that older stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you know who he is? Are you saying you
Speaker 1: don't know who they don't know who he is? No,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Ryan O'Neil. He was the lead. He was

Speaker 1: what's up? Doc Ke and Barbara streisand again we're on
Speaker 1: screen in the main event, kind of a cheeky love
Speaker 1: romantic comedy. I don't recognize him at all. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at him even like even this el Fara Fawcett and
Speaker 1: Ryan were they married? He was like they were maybe married.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're married. They definitely dated. He uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. He was a big he was sort of
Speaker 1: the a big, hunky leading man from sort of a
Speaker 1: Richard of his day. Yeah, although they're not too far
Speaker 1: off an age, so interesting, they're sort of the same day.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was great. He's a good actor. He
Speaker 1: was Barry Lyndon. Oh, that's yeah, that's okay. There he
Speaker 1: sure was. And I knew there was a ref that
Speaker 1: I would that you would get so interesting though, because
Speaker 1: I just I still don't recognize him. He looks different
Speaker 1: in that role because he's so made up and where
Speaker 1: like a wig and stuff. You know, I need to
Speaker 1: finish that. I only made it to the intermission and
Speaker 1: then my rental ran out, Oh look here my cousins
Speaker 1: on the page. I did not know that. Nice. My
Speaker 1: cousin Stephanie Yancy said, life is beautiful. Oh god, yes,
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to watch that when my mom was
Speaker 1: visiting a couple of weeks ago. Uh is such a
Speaker 1: perfect lovely movie. And I'm I'm so sad that that
Speaker 1: dude never went on to do anything nearly as uh
Speaker 1: as interesting. Yeah, maybe that horrible Pinocchio. Oh sure, my
Speaker 1: cousin's on here. No, I had no idea. That's what
Speaker 1: happens when you go bottom up. So all right, now
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on, and we're gonna finish up today
Speaker 1: with a segment. We promised people that you would watch
Speaker 1: the movie Pretty Woman, and we would do a little
Speaker 1: quick mini nol segment, mini review, mini crush it mini
Speaker 1: What do we call the rush to judgment? Many crush
Speaker 1: to judgment? And I would love to hear how that went. No,
Speaker 1: when did you watch it? Set the scene? Who did
Speaker 1: you watch it with? Give me a little uh, just
Speaker 1: give me a little background here. Um, yeah, I watched
Speaker 1: it with this uh uh, this lady I've been hanging
Speaker 1: out with. Um and the lady we've heard about already
Speaker 1: or no, I spoke, I've spoken of this lady. She
Speaker 1: has a very similar name to me. Um. And she
Speaker 1: was delighted because it was it was a favorite of hers.
Speaker 1: And you know, I admittedly don't go for the rom coms.
Speaker 1: I don't like just go, you know, bounding for them.
Speaker 1: You know, it's something that I always enjoy them if
Speaker 1: they're well done. You know, I definitely if I if
Speaker 1: I watched one, I find myself getting pulled in. I'm
Speaker 1: never like I rolle or like I hate this, but
Speaker 1: it's not where my brain goes, you know. Um. With
Speaker 1: so much stuff out there, it's just not my like
Speaker 1: genre of choice. So she was thrilled because you know,
Speaker 1: she obviously had a really real fondness for it, and Um,
Speaker 1: I loved it. I mean I really did. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: really a sweet movie. Um, It's it's a little you know,
Speaker 1: it's like a fairy tale. It's a little bit like
Speaker 1: my fair Lady. Um, it's it's weird. I think it's
Speaker 1: rated R, which is interesting because that was at that
Speaker 1: time where like an R then could easily be a
Speaker 1: PG thirteen today. Was it like it wasn't rated R?
Speaker 1: Was it? I thought? I think it was. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to look that up. I don't almost. Well, it's
Speaker 1: got a couple of funks in it, and I know
Speaker 1: you can get a few. You can get away with
Speaker 1: a few fox. Now, yeah, that's rated ARE. But I'm
Speaker 1: telling you a nineteen ninet like I don't even know
Speaker 1: if they had PG. No, they did. Thirteen came along
Speaker 1: with Temple of Doom. I want to say, yeah it
Speaker 1: is rated R. Holy sh it's rated ARE. There's there's
Speaker 1: one nipple. You see a nipple, a quick nip, a
Speaker 1: quick quick nip, nip shot and they say funk a
Speaker 1: couple of times. Um, but it's not there's nothing. Um,
Speaker 1: it would be PG thirteen today. That's what I'm saying. Easily.
Speaker 1: There's something overly like salacious about it. The only issue
Speaker 1: I have and I don't want to sound like too
Speaker 1: much of like a you know, s J W Liberal
Speaker 1: snowflake or anything, but like the just like a problematic
Speaker 1: nature to like she's hooking for the very first time,
Speaker 1: you know, and lands, uh this gazillionaire husband who takes
Speaker 1: her away from that life, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that maybe Long Water wrote a
Speaker 1: song that addressed this. You ever know that band, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with them, but I do not know this.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me about it. They have a song called
Speaker 1: folk Song, one of the greatest, greatest songs, and uh.
Speaker 1: Part of the song talks about pretty woman and where
Speaker 1: she kind of scures it. And this is way back
Speaker 1: in the nineties. She said, you know, I wish a rich,
Speaker 1: handsome man in a Jaguar would come along and save
Speaker 1: me and take me shopping, because that's what a woman's
Speaker 1: all about, right, sucking and shopping. And then it goes
Speaker 1: sucking and chopping and sucking and shopping. Uh so yeah,
Speaker 1: it is a definitely a problematic theme of handsome man
Speaker 1: rescues the of course, back then, you would call a
Speaker 1: hooker with a heart of gold. Um, you don't let
Speaker 1: you say hooker anymore, sex worker if you please, that's right,
Speaker 1: but um no, but not but listen, but that aside,
Speaker 1: it didn't like bother me. It wasn't like you know,
Speaker 1: it was of its time. Um, it really is. She's
Speaker 1: so charming it blows my mind. I have a hard
Speaker 1: time with this a lot where like she had to
Speaker 1: have been like twenty two or something, you know when
Speaker 1: she made that think yeah, yeah, and he's also he
Speaker 1: probably was more like forty or something like that. I
Speaker 1: would say it definitely the decent amount older. But okay,
Speaker 1: I'd not have to linger too much on this, but
Speaker 1: then I'll move on to some stuff I really love.
Speaker 1: But it's also like which would he have been? Would
Speaker 1: he have treated her this way if she like wasn't
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts, you know what I mean, Like there's this
Speaker 1: sense that like he thinks she's so great and so
Speaker 1: special and all that, but like I don't know, like
Speaker 1: what is it that makes it? What? Like is it?
Speaker 1: I think she definitely has like a don't take no
Speaker 1: ship and kind of tells it like it is vibe.
Speaker 1: But a lot of that just has to do with
Speaker 1: like she's from this other world and everyone's just so like,
Speaker 1: like who funk is this coming around here? Speaking her mind?
Speaker 1: You know? For I don't know, I love Jason Alexander
Speaker 1: as the pervy hansy little lawyer. Fundn't realized he was
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, nice little cameo. So she was in
Speaker 1: her early thirties when she made this, and I believe
Speaker 1: some reason, I did the math and I thought it
Speaker 1: was she was a little younger. The difference between ages
Speaker 1: is about twenty years nineteen years between those two, so substantial.
Speaker 1: I made a couple of notes and then I sort
Speaker 1: of fell off because I really got sucked in, honestly.
Speaker 1: But the first thing I noted was Iggy pop song
Speaker 1: real Wild Child. It sounds kind of like a foe
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen song. I sort of like ragged on it
Speaker 1: for a second. I was like, what is this like
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen light Ship? And then I realized it's my boy,
Speaker 1: Iggy who I'm a door. But that was a weird
Speaker 1: period for him. It was much more like a commercial
Speaker 1: kind of Then I just wrote those fucking boots, Sure
Speaker 1: it's crazy boots that are actually on the on the
Speaker 1: video box and that outfit. Yeah, yeah, you know. I
Speaker 1: think there are certainly some problematic elements, but there are
Speaker 1: also some elements of um and especially people that are
Speaker 1: in the camp of pro sex worker and that that
Speaker 1: that can be an empowering and enabling job. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: don't they kind of neg it in this you know,
Speaker 1: Like well they do. Um. But you know, she gets
Speaker 1: her come uppance against the the snooty Beverly Hills boutique
Speaker 1: who thinks she doesn't belong because of who she is. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. The messages are sort of all over them,
Speaker 1: but she only belongs because she all of a sudden
Speaker 1: has cash hers you know what I mean. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know you know what I'm saying. No, I know.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a movie of the of its time,
Speaker 1: which is very materialistic, like like, you know, the dude,
Speaker 1: the Richard Gears character, he's kind of a douche bag.
Speaker 1: Like he's not let me let me rephrase that. Like
Speaker 1: he's of the type of person that he is, which
Speaker 1: is what like a venture capitalist basically, like he just
Speaker 1: kind of has this soulless job where he just like
Speaker 1: takes other people's companies that they've worked their whole lives
Speaker 1: multigenerationally and then just flips them, takes them apart. And
Speaker 1: he talks about that, and you know his character changes
Speaker 1: too though, and that largely is because she shows him,
Speaker 1: you know, that there are other other things in life
Speaker 1: besides just like being a shark, you know, and he
Speaker 1: uh ends up doing something nice for one of the
Speaker 1: people whose company he's like been like really gunning for true.
Speaker 1: I will say, though he's not the most likable character
Speaker 1: for a lot of that movie. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to say
Speaker 1: he's a douchebag, but he's got that entitled thing, you know,
Speaker 1: he every he wants everything to be the best you
Speaker 1: know he gets. He's not very charming, not really. He
Speaker 1: is when he's playing the piano though, and he's got
Speaker 1: his tie off off and he's entertaining like the the
Speaker 1: wait staff, they're all sticking around like in the restaurant.
Speaker 1: He and then like they have hot sex on the piano.
Speaker 1: But then he also dismisses all of them. They're like,
Speaker 1: can you give us the room please? And she's like,
Speaker 1: you're used to people doing exactly what you say, aren't you,
Speaker 1: And and then he lifts her up and bangs her
Speaker 1: on the piano. Oh so very mixed messages. It's a
Speaker 1: movie from like in every way you know, which is
Speaker 1: so funny. And this is just such an obvious statement,
Speaker 1: but like movies from nine, we're basically still eighties movies,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, it's got that, it's
Speaker 1: got the hair, it's got a lot of those vibes.
Speaker 1: Love the Hollywood Boulevard shots. Um, I think you see
Speaker 1: the frolic room quickly, definitely see the pantageous and I'm
Speaker 1: super familiar with that area and it was nice to
Speaker 1: see that. Hank Azaria makes a weird quick flash in
Speaker 1: the pan appearance like as a cop at the very beginning,
Speaker 1: and then he's gone. I thought he would be more
Speaker 1: more like, you know, in a main character. He wasn't.
Speaker 1: He wasn't even a big thing then. Though that's right,
Speaker 1: it makes sense. I just think of him so fondly
Speaker 1: because of all his voice work. Uh. Corner like gets
Speaker 1: on rails. He's driving his his his lawyer's car and
Speaker 1: he can't drive a stick and like she gets in
Speaker 1: the car and she she it's a lotus. So I
Speaker 1: think it's what it is, um, And she says, man,
Speaker 1: that about this thing Corners Like it's on rails, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even understand what that term. No,
Speaker 1: what is it like like on like a like a
Speaker 1: train track, Like, what is corn? Okay, yeah, that's exactly
Speaker 1: what it means. It's it's It's a term I've never
Speaker 1: heard of and he hadn't either, and then he uses
Speaker 1: it again later to improve his lawyer. He gonna repeats it,
Speaker 1: you know, he said, yeah, I think corners like it's
Speaker 1: on rails. Uh, she's from Millageville. Do you remember that
Speaker 1: she says she's from Millageville, Georgia. Did she say that,
Speaker 1: Yeah in the movie you're kidding. Yep, she's from Milledgeville.
Speaker 1: That's crazy and weird because Julia Roberts is from Smyrna
Speaker 1: in real life. I didn't know that Smyrna, Georgia. And uh,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised she didn't say, Hey, can I make this
Speaker 1: Smyrna since I am actually from Georgia instead of this
Speaker 1: weird town that no one has ever heard of. I
Speaker 1: think maybe Milledgeville just sounds more quaint. Now I've heard
Speaker 1: not great things, you know, not to yuck anyone's town
Speaker 1: or anything. Isn't that where there's a college there? Right?
Speaker 1: Isn't that where? Like? What is it? Yeah? I can't
Speaker 1: remember which one, like Middle Georgia or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's on the Lake Sinclair. Alright, no, so give me
Speaker 1: thumbs out of five thumbs uh in in the context
Speaker 1: of when it was made, what do you? I give
Speaker 1: it like four and a half three point seven five
Speaker 1: thumbs very much enjoyed it. It's light junk food of
Speaker 1: a movie. You know. It's not like I think cathartic
Speaker 1: happened or I I walked away feeling change, not that that.
Speaker 1: That has to be the criteria for any you know,
Speaker 1: any movie has to do that definitely accomplishes its goals?
Speaker 1: Is it? Gary Marshall? Gary Marshall? Right? And then is
Speaker 1: Penny Marshall his sister? And she's done a bunch of
Speaker 1: stuff too. I heard the best interview with Barry Son
Speaker 1: and Felt the other day on NPR. He say he
Speaker 1: used to be a cameraman and apparently he was shooting
Speaker 1: a movie for He's an interesting character by the way,
Speaker 1: He's got a book out about his life and really fascinating.
Speaker 1: Weird dude. But he was saying, yeah, Penny Marshall said,
Speaker 1: I tried to fire you, but they wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1: As he goes, they told me you were good, but
Speaker 1: I don't think so. It was pretty great. Yeah she
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah, but yeah, for seven five, I definitely
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. I love
Speaker 1: the music. There's a lot of good, like big music
Speaker 1: moments like uh is wait, what is it? I want
Speaker 1: to know what love is now? What it was then?
Speaker 1: And there's now there's a big schlocky eighties let's see
Speaker 1: pretty Woman soundstrack, big moment. Oh no, I know it
Speaker 1: must have been love, must have been love. But it's
Speaker 1: all pretty good song. It must have been. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I had to I had to give them some points
Speaker 1: for restraint for not just blasting Pretty Woman repeatedly. They
Speaker 1: used it just once, and they used an instrumental little
Speaker 1: splash of it at one point, but that was it.
Speaker 1: That's great. So you give it three thumbs and one thumb.
Speaker 1: That was slammed in a jewelry box by Richard Garre exactly.
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, well, I think we should keep
Speaker 1: this up, these movie challenges, and uh, maybe you can
Speaker 1: challenge me for one next time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I will watch one of your favorites. Okay that you've
Speaker 1: been harping on I've been harping, you know, like, why
Speaker 1: haven't you seen that yet? Chuck? Oh, I can't think
Speaker 1: of what that would be, but I'll rack my brain.
Speaker 1: I think they are movie crushers. Now, okay, they know
Speaker 1: do you know? Are you? Are you coy? Is there
Speaker 1: something specific? Oh? I can think of a few. All right,
Speaker 1: but this is your challenge and game on, game on, Chuck.
