Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Have got
Speaker 1: old virtually in front of me. You know, Chuck, I
Speaker 1: can't see your face. Man, You're just a weird little
Speaker 1: amorphous square there. I just I just realized it was
Speaker 1: one of those things again where I was looking at
Speaker 1: my face and I thought it was your face. You
Speaker 1: gotta stop that. I look, I can't help that. We
Speaker 1: have a similar shaped melon bro behind me on a
Speaker 1: couch in the basement. I have my daughter because she's
Speaker 1: up to over there. What's keeping her busy that she's
Speaker 1: not gonna come crawling under the table there. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: we hate to do it, but she's on the iPad
Speaker 1: with some headphones. We're doing what we gotta do. Nol,
Speaker 1: we got, we got the we got a lockdown, Emily.
Speaker 1: Is it her job? That's her iPad? Jam Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: we got lots of little kid apps, learning apps and
Speaker 1: some YouTube for kids, and so she does games and
Speaker 1: she watches some stuff. And you know, it's just tough
Speaker 1: these days. You can't say, hey, Ruby, I'm going downstairs
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half. You just entertaining yourself. Please,
Speaker 1: don't set yourself on fire. So she's down there, and
Speaker 1: she's she's great, she's a sweetheart. Everyone loves are on
Speaker 1: the Crushers page, by the way, they live for her cameos,
Speaker 1: as do I. It's been a minute, so um. The
Speaker 1: irony here is she's not gonna come over today. No,
Speaker 1: she's glued to that fucking screen. I pad it up.
Speaker 1: I hear you, man. Oh dude, I am armed with
Speaker 1: some discussion today, my friend. But I'm just gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna wait till the time is right to unleash it. Well,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? How can you say that? Okay? Okay, Chuck, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm discussion. I didn't know if you're gonna do like
Speaker 1: a stream this section, but I just wanted to sing
Speaker 1: the praise. Well, I am, well, then I'm gonna wait. Okay.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's funny that you mentioned that. No, there,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be even a more robust stream this than usual.
Speaker 1: Because time is so short, I feel bad. I'm not
Speaker 1: able to put as much time into writing fun stuff
Speaker 1: for the show. So I'm cribbing a lot from the
Speaker 1: movie Crushers page on these next two, and one of
Speaker 1: them is a sort of more robust stream this where
Speaker 1: everyone is giving their recommendations, which is kind of fun.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna start though, Noel, with a little catchup.
Speaker 1: I think everyone wants to know you're alive. Clearly you
Speaker 1: were not killed mystery date. No, no, she is not
Speaker 1: here wearing your face. No. No, that last night. Actually,
Speaker 1: it's funny that you mentioned, uh want to talk about it? Yeah? Sure,
Speaker 1: it was great. Um we had, you know, chatted online
Speaker 1: a few times. Um uh sorry, you know, face times
Speaker 1: or whatever, had the core dates, and it really hit
Speaker 1: it off and both were comfortable enough with each other's
Speaker 1: levels of core that she decided we agreed she'd come
Speaker 1: over and I made dinner and would you make? I made.
Speaker 1: I made like I do a tie coconut curry chicken
Speaker 1: situation with coconut milk and curry paste and kafir lime leaves,
Speaker 1: the whole nine. And yeah it was great. She really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Um, you had a really lovely time. Did
Speaker 1: I tell you what her name is? Well? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the whole gay. Yeah that's she's trying to take
Speaker 1: over your life. Yeah, that's right exactly. She did not
Speaker 1: do that thing. Um, she did not do that thing.
Speaker 1: She's a very lovely person, and uh, I think we
Speaker 1: shall probably meet again. Good well, I don't want to
Speaker 1: ask you to kiss and tell certainly, but did you
Speaker 1: make love? Oh? Chuck? Did she make wheet love? Um?
Speaker 1: I am a gentleman and I will I cannot reveal
Speaker 1: such details. No, No, we did not, Chuck. We had
Speaker 1: we had filthy, nasty sex. I'm kidding. I'm carrying other kind.
Speaker 1: There's there's making tender love. Yeah. See, I grew up
Speaker 1: Southern Baptist, so it was all described to me as filthy,
Speaker 1: and next they didn't call it making. Who should ever?
Speaker 1: Do ya totally remember making? Whoopee? Where'd that come from?
Speaker 1: That was very seventies thing? Was that a seventies thing?
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a fifties thing? Oh, well,
Speaker 1: you're probably right. I'm just saying it just sounds like
Speaker 1: a I heard it a lot in the seventies on
Speaker 1: like game shows. That was sort of the go to
Speaker 1: on game shows. When you wanted to say that, you
Speaker 1: would say making whoopee? Yes, yes, yes, so nol. I
Speaker 1: have another update. It's very curious. So I was hanging
Speaker 1: out with my friend and I'm gonna do a lot
Speaker 1: of this nameless because I don't want to like get
Speaker 1: anyone in trouble or anything for spelling secrets. But I
Speaker 1: have a friend that works. You know, many friends at
Speaker 1: work in the film industry, as do you. But one
Speaker 1: of them I was doing a zoom with the other
Speaker 1: day with some old pals, and he said that he's
Speaker 1: coming back to work on a movie in August. And
Speaker 1: I was like, really, and how are they doing that?
Speaker 1: And here's what they're doing. And I thought everyone would
Speaker 1: find this fairly interesting, because you know, Hollywood is trying
Speaker 1: to work this out like best practices. Uh. And this
Speaker 1: is a big, big movie with a big, big movie star. Uh.
Speaker 1: And they are quarantining essentially and bubbling the entire cast
Speaker 1: and crew for three months. Uh. So it's essentially like
Speaker 1: being on location in your own town. You have to
Speaker 1: stay at this hotel, you have to get all meals
Speaker 1: brought to you, uh, three meals a day. You're getting
Speaker 1: paid for seven days a week, which is cool. Obviously
Speaker 1: they got to do that, you know, even though they're
Speaker 1: only working I guess, I don't know if they're doing
Speaker 1: sixes or if it's a five day week. Probably six
Speaker 1: is with one day down. But you know they're they're
Speaker 1: quarantining everyone is. The entire cast and crew has to
Speaker 1: stay there and can't leave at all. This is what
Speaker 1: we talked about. This was our theory, right yeah. And
Speaker 1: they're being shuttled, you know, to and from work, and
Speaker 1: they're obviously gonna still get temperature checks and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about regular testing. But the idea is like what
Speaker 1: you were describing, it is just bubble everyone up. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he lives here in town with his wife,
Speaker 1: and you want to be able to see her. There'll
Speaker 1: be miles from her, and we'll be able to see
Speaker 1: her for three months as well. You know, many many
Speaker 1: people will be away from their families, which he has
Speaker 1: mixed feelings. He's he's he needs to work obviously in
Speaker 1: seven day pay is good, but it kind of stinks.
Speaker 1: And the big big star in this movie is a big,
Speaker 1: big jerk. He's worked with him before and he's not
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. So what's that quarantine situation like
Speaker 1: obviously there's like premium quarantine for the big big Star. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't want to give it
Speaker 1: all the way, but this big Big Star is not
Speaker 1: I don't think going to be and channing in the
Speaker 1: hotel because they work so much in Atlanta that they
Speaker 1: bought a big place here in Atlanta. So and they
Speaker 1: get what they want. So this he doesn't like working
Speaker 1: with this person because they Uh. There's what I found
Speaker 1: nol on cruise with big movie stars is there's three
Speaker 1: ways it can go. They can be really friendly to
Speaker 1: the cast and crew. They can be friendly to the
Speaker 1: crew but not treat their crew well at the same time.
Speaker 1: So like those are two different things. I hope everyone
Speaker 1: understands that they can be They don't have to be
Speaker 1: some big, raving jerk to be not friendly to the crew.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, not friendly to the
Speaker 1: crew means it's all about you. You keep people waiting, um,
Speaker 1: and that's what this person does. They show up when
Speaker 1: they want, they leave when they want. To the point
Speaker 1: where another friend was working with this person on a
Speaker 1: movie last year with another really really big co star
Speaker 1: a woman, and that big co star and actor said,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna come anymore unless he starts showing
Speaker 1: up on time because he's leaving everybody waiting like other
Speaker 1: A list actors because he's that's just not a good look.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Yeah, I just I would hope
Speaker 1: that no matter what level of like success or fame
Speaker 1: that I ever reached, I'm assuming that I have peaked, Chuck,
Speaker 1: But you peeked a little while ago. No, you're on
Speaker 1: the down slope, damnit, Chuck, don't say that. Come on,
Speaker 1: he started many crush. You started the downstide. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: I would hope that when I attain my next stage
Speaker 1: of fame and stardom, that I will not let it
Speaker 1: like ruin me, you know. I mean, it's something you
Speaker 1: have to kind of actively do too. You have to
Speaker 1: kind of like keep yourself from becoming a monster. And
Speaker 1: if you have just handlers and yes people that just
Speaker 1: like prop you up every step of the way, you're
Speaker 1: gonna become a piece of ship. Unless you are just
Speaker 1: a really glowingly wonderful person to start with, and you're
Speaker 1: just somehow immune to all that. So it's a slippery slope, ma'am. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I gotta say, you know, I made my
Speaker 1: way up as a p A and then when we
Speaker 1: did the stuff you should know TV show, Josh and
Speaker 1: I were the and this isn't bragging, but it's just
Speaker 1: the facts of the matter. We were the two most
Speaker 1: important people on the set because we were the dudes
Speaker 1: from Stuff you should Know. And even on that tiny
Speaker 1: little show with a tiny little budget, on that tiny
Speaker 1: little network, it's the treatment is different and people are
Speaker 1: trying to do everything that you want, and it's a
Speaker 1: weird situation to all of a sudden be in and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we were super cool because we were just
Speaker 1: you know, we loved all the crew and we didn't
Speaker 1: want to We wanted to be good guys and make
Speaker 1: everything happen. But I can see how these people sort
Speaker 1: of get a little power mad and are just like,
Speaker 1: I'll be there when I want to be there. I mean,
Speaker 1: it sucks, but that's why it happened. My theory is
Speaker 1: you already have to have that monster somewhere inside you.
Speaker 1: Though you know, I agree totally. It's not people to
Speaker 1: become jerks when they are drunk. They're already kind of jerks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I when I get drunk, I get really bubbly
Speaker 1: and goofy, and just like you know, Telly smile friend,
Speaker 1: and I know people that get dark and sinister and
Speaker 1: it's like, whoa you know and like that. Those people
Speaker 1: have that thing within them already, so for sure it's
Speaker 1: uh yeah, and this person, this, this big movie star
Speaker 1: had a previous career where they were very, very successful
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of came into movies already with
Speaker 1: that kind of pull. I think, man, you're really narrowing
Speaker 1: it down. Chuck for the for the Home Sleuths, The
Speaker 1: Home movie Sleuths owns a big place in Atlanta, works
Speaker 1: here a lot, possibly an athlete, Chuck, an athlete. Let's
Speaker 1: just leave it there. But I gotta say, though, anyone,
Speaker 1: anyone who leaves people waiting and costs people money and
Speaker 1: puts people out, it's just like Tom Cruise did that
Speaker 1: on the Mission Impossible movie Emily worked on for the
Speaker 1: Moab shoot. She told the story where it was the
Speaker 1: stuff where he was mountain climbing or whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: he's just he's he's just waiting. He's in his trailer
Speaker 1: getting whatever the heck he wants to get done done,
Speaker 1: and everyone's standing around in the hot sun for hours
Speaker 1: and hours and hours. That's even worse when there's like
Speaker 1: a nasty climate situation to contend with. You think you
Speaker 1: want to get in and out to get it done.
Speaker 1: Think of others, That's all I say. I think that's
Speaker 1: what my mother taught me. Think of others. Should always
Speaker 1: be thinking of others, all right now, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on to real content. And I also want to say,
Speaker 1: if there's anyone out there that works for Facebook, tell
Speaker 1: them I'm about to quit it, because, Uh, have you
Speaker 1: seen the new Facebook? Yeah? They they streamlined it. Chuck,
Speaker 1: you don't like the new streamlined? Look? Are you on
Speaker 1: the new Facebook? I guess I don't know. I I
Speaker 1: clicked the button and it changed a little bit. Uh
Speaker 1: he clicked what button? There was some button where it
Speaker 1: like that said would you like to see the new Facebook?
Speaker 1: I can't remember now, And now it looks kind of
Speaker 1: the same to me. What what do you not like about? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the new Facebook is vastly different, so you
Speaker 1: would know if you were on it. It's a complete redesign.
Speaker 1: And I accidentally clicked to try it. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I thought happened to me too, But now it looks
Speaker 1: normal again. Well, I can't go back to normal day.
Speaker 1: And I read, uh, a very small number they said
Speaker 1: overall people they are not allowing to go back and
Speaker 1: I'm one of them, and I hate the new one
Speaker 1: and it looks awful and it's not intuitive, it looks
Speaker 1: like shit. And so if anyone works for Facebook, tell
Speaker 1: them that I might pull all of our social media's
Speaker 1: away from Facebook because I hate it so much and
Speaker 1: they won't let me switch back. Well, Chuck, you you
Speaker 1: kind of home. You kind of lighten up Instagram these days,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's time to switch to that. Although it's
Speaker 1: a little harder to do polls and stuff, although you couldn't,
Speaker 1: you can do it, you know, Ah, Chuck, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you got to get to the stories. Now stories. You
Speaker 1: can do polls with yes or no questions or with
Speaker 1: multiple answers. You can make them and then people you
Speaker 1: know answer and you only you see the answers and
Speaker 1: they expire automatically after twenty four hours, so you wouldn't
Speaker 1: even have to go and delete them like you do
Speaker 1: with stuff. Um, this is something that might be worth experimenting.
Speaker 1: Not that Facebook doesn't also own Instagram, but it's a
Speaker 1: far superior platform as far as I'm concerned. I know,
Speaker 1: but I would love, just as a show of you know,
Speaker 1: anti support, I would love to pull our ship from Facebook.
Speaker 1: Because I'm just I can't believe they're just like, no, sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't switch back because you accidentally had a button
Speaker 1: and it looks like crappier. I remember seeing it and
Speaker 1: being like, did not ask for this? And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess I looked out. Maybe I didn't commit because
Speaker 1: I it looks like the old way to me. I
Speaker 1: use Facebook so infrequently, really just for this show and
Speaker 1: for like some of the Facebook groups that we have
Speaker 1: for stuff that I want you to know in Ridiculous History. Um,
Speaker 1: speaking of Zuckerberg, which we kind of are, uh tangentially, Um,
Speaker 1: did you see that amazing photo of him surfing in
Speaker 1: Hawaii with his face just slathered in like sunscreen. He
Speaker 1: looks like, oh my, he looks like he's wearing a
Speaker 1: creepy face mask like Hannibal Lecter or something looking Zuckerberg surfing.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's it's pretty wildy. I made a few. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I made one with remember the Joker's girlfriend and Batman.
Speaker 1: The first Batman when you know she she gets burned
Speaker 1: with acid or something, I guess, and and then she
Speaker 1: wears that creepy like you know, harlequin mask that I
Speaker 1: made a meme where it's like a split screen of
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg on the left and in the harlequin mask, but
Speaker 1: he's really taking his his son seriously, really, he's all
Speaker 1: zincd up. I made another one that said everyone colon
Speaker 1: could Mark Zuckerberg get anymore white? And then Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: hold my beer. I was proud of it. That was
Speaker 1: a good No, I like it all right, So we're
Speaker 1: gonna start off with this is a lot of Crusher
Speaker 1: stuff from the movie Crushers page. This is from one
Speaker 1: of our oldest friends. Austin Debski posted a really cool question,
Speaker 1: what artifact would you like to see Indiana Jones seek
Speaker 1: and uncover next? No, you got an artifact? What an artifact? Uh?
Speaker 1: Did you already do the crystal skull? Come on? How
Speaker 1: about the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. I've never heard
Speaker 1: of that? So there was It was that she was
Speaker 1: a game show on Nickelodeon called Legends of the Hidden
Speaker 1: Temple and at the end you had to like go
Speaker 1: into the temple and there was always like the Shrine
Speaker 1: of the Silver Monkey. That's pretty good. Now, I gotta
Speaker 1: say some of these are jokes, but I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: those because they're kind of funny. Lee last Oka says,
Speaker 1: a COVID vaccine, that's pretty good. John Colton says Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones colin the search for viable third party candidate, These
Speaker 1: are good. David Mills wants him to go after Jimmy Hoffa. Uh.
Speaker 1: Sylvia Sanchez wants him to go after her waistline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of these are funny. This is a good one.
Speaker 1: Joe Gathercole, one of our old friends, says, the Fountain
Speaker 1: of Youth. I think that was a rumor for one
Speaker 1: of the before Crystal Skulls came out, that it was
Speaker 1: going to be the Fountain of Youth. I think that's
Speaker 1: a pretty big one. And what's the deal. So we're
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, you know, on the street where our office is,
Speaker 1: ponts to lay on. You know who is the you know,
Speaker 1: the discoverer I guess of theoretically the Fountain of Youth.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there some discussion that there was a mini Fountain
Speaker 1: of Youth like where our building is or something or
Speaker 1: like there was a oh I don't know, Okay, then
Speaker 1: that's where the whereon city markets? You know what that rings?
Speaker 1: A bell? Noll? Look that up? Get on that. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read off some more of these. Jeremy Barney says,
Speaker 1: the Bong of Destiny. Okay, uh, let me see here.
Speaker 1: Colin Heffernan says Excalibur. No, I guess that would dovetail
Speaker 1: nicely with uh, the Sean Connery one, because wasn't that
Speaker 1: the what were they looking for? That chalice? Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the chip. Yeah, that Jesus juice. Jesus juice cup is
Speaker 1: who described who described you as that the sippy cup? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Holy of the Grail. Yeah, Excalibur. That would that
Speaker 1: would be cool? I like it? Uh yeah, someone else said,
Speaker 1: our friend with the backwards name, Culver Matthews says Excalibur
Speaker 1: as well, didn't he didn't it get thrown into the
Speaker 1: lake or something? The lady of the lake held it
Speaker 1: aloft and all that stuff. Yeah, but first he had
Speaker 1: pulled it out of the stone and then it ended
Speaker 1: up in a lake. I'm confused. Well, young Arthur pulled
Speaker 1: it from the stone, but how did it end up
Speaker 1: in the lake. I don't remember that it was thrown
Speaker 1: into the lake at some point. I gotta brush up
Speaker 1: on that. It's been a while. Have you ever seen
Speaker 1: the movie Excalibur. That's is it? John Borman, Right, I
Speaker 1: think so. Yeah, it's a very epic, epic film. I agree,
Speaker 1: epic cast I totally agree. Do you have the news
Speaker 1: here on them? I'm trying to find that. Let me
Speaker 1: type in it. I'm not I need to broaden our
Speaker 1: narrow my search. Here we go, keep it going. Kurt
Speaker 1: Kluge says the tomb of Genghis Khan. That would be interesting.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Hannon says the dildo of Mussolini. All right. John
Speaker 1: Thorpe says the Trump peepee tapes. Most of these are
Speaker 1: very funny. I like this. Uh, that's I'm not going
Speaker 1: to even read this one. I'm blushing. Goodness. Richard c
Speaker 1: Anderson's his Poseidon's Trident. Another vote for Excalibur from Owen
Speaker 1: ur Williger. One of our old pals, Eric Luca says democracy. Heyo.
Speaker 1: Another vote for Jimmy Hoffa from Janet James Allman. Alright,
Speaker 1: those are all pretty good. I think I read most
Speaker 1: of those. Nol So there's a book called Atlanta's Pons
Speaker 1: to Leon Avenue a history. Um. Now, it's more just
Speaker 1: about like the gentrification of the area and stuff. It's
Speaker 1: not really about I don't know. Check this is I
Speaker 1: might be barking up the wrong tree here. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: sounds like it. Quick barking. Noll I showed Emily this
Speaker 1: funny meme. Sandra Jane Bets shared this on the Crushers
Speaker 1: page as Yoda laying there dead says, now that I
Speaker 1: have children, I really understand the scene and returning the
Speaker 1: Jedi where Yoda is so tired of answering Luke's questions
Speaker 1: he just up and dies. You get a lot of
Speaker 1: questions as a parent, nol, what are what can do you?
Speaker 1: Can you think of? So you're you're a good question age.
Speaker 1: I don't get questions anymore. I get back talk, which
Speaker 1: isn't the same as questions. Is that segue? Can you
Speaker 1: think of a good one? Can you think of like
Speaker 1: give me a good ruby question that's been like a
Speaker 1: real noodle scratcher for you, or one that was very
Speaker 1: illuminating of the human condition? Perhaps? Oh, I mean I
Speaker 1: can't think of a specific one because I get I
Speaker 1: get a hundred questions before noon every day. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions. It's true. When you're that age,
Speaker 1: it's great, it's inquisitive. It is and I always try
Speaker 1: to give I try my best to give good answers.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give pat answers or brush it to the side. Uh,
Speaker 1: like I think can happen sometimes with kids. We we
Speaker 1: treat her not like an adult, but uh we we
Speaker 1: try to speak to her like an adult. You know,
Speaker 1: tell her to get fucked twice a day? Whoa, hey, kid?
Speaker 1: All right, hey, you gotta say get bent. That's much
Speaker 1: more child appropriated. Did I tell you what my kid
Speaker 1: does to me? When I swear? She says, Dad, did
Speaker 1: you just say a potty word? And she's totally fucking
Speaker 1: with me. She doesn't really care, but she knows that
Speaker 1: it drives me nuts. And so she's always like, was
Speaker 1: that a potty word? Dead? How can you use such
Speaker 1: violent language? Well, you know, I'm on record as being
Speaker 1: not bothered by words. We we have cursed sort of, uh,
Speaker 1: just casually around her so much. I don't think she
Speaker 1: knows it's a thing. Maybe that's the way to go.
Speaker 1: I think so too, because the real allure of it
Speaker 1: is when it's like, you know, for both forbidden fruit
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know. Yeah, I agree, I agree, and
Speaker 1: like I said, my kid, she she finds it to
Speaker 1: be off putting, like she doesn't she wouldn't do it
Speaker 1: because she's so used to hearing it and she actually
Speaker 1: thinks it's not cool. Um because she's some of the
Speaker 1: people that the kids that she knows that do it,
Speaker 1: they do it like for shock value, and she has
Speaker 1: had no time for that. She's like, you know, it's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she'll she'll get there one day. That's a great age
Speaker 1: when they think cursing is bad. And uh, she'll make
Speaker 1: that transition as well. And it's all about transition. And
Speaker 1: I always say, you know what, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Swearing is fun. It's all. It's like a spice. You
Speaker 1: gotta like throw it in there, you know, and and
Speaker 1: and it's got to be in balance, you know, the
Speaker 1: force has to be in balance. Well, I've got a
Speaker 1: complete potty mouth. I'm the worst. No, no, no, I
Speaker 1: don't mind that. I know worse. All right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on now. I promised a more robust, robust stream
Speaker 1: this because one of our one of our oldest of friends,
Speaker 1: Yvonne Boudette, said, all right, crushers, let's do a stream
Speaker 1: this and this Everyone should go check this out because
Speaker 1: I know people are always looking for good recommendations for
Speaker 1: TV and movies and stuff, and this is a good
Speaker 1: long list. And I'll start mine out and then I'll
Speaker 1: throw to you and then we'll go to the list.
Speaker 1: I finished What We Do in the Shadows a couple
Speaker 1: of nights ago. Uh finished season two. Great, great episode
Speaker 1: and great, just two seasons. It's just the best. It's
Speaker 1: amazing thing I need to get back to. I only
Speaker 1: watched a few episodes, but it's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: a delight. Oh man, it's just the best. And then
Speaker 1: I've been watching by myself late at night, this uh
Speaker 1: survival challenge show that is on Netflix now, but I
Speaker 1: think it started out on History Channel, uh and like
Speaker 1: Netflix grabbed it. It's called Alone is Afraid Well big,
Speaker 1: except it's good and way more legit. It's like these
Speaker 1: are real survival experts, um who have are all dropped
Speaker 1: off in you know, at very different places, at the
Speaker 1: same place. And this season I'm watching is the Arctic
Speaker 1: up in Canada, and they all know their ship. Man.
Speaker 1: It's really good. It's not sensational or anything. It's uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're legit. They're making snares, they're hunting,
Speaker 1: they're fishing, they're making their own everything. It looks pretty
Speaker 1: cinematic too, from the look of it, Like I saw
Speaker 1: a trailer and I almost thought it wasn't like a dock,
Speaker 1: Like it looked almost like a movie kind of. It
Speaker 1: was pretty it don't be fooled because it's all self shot,
Speaker 1: Like they've given them camera gear, so they're truly alone
Speaker 1: out there, and you only know that you've won, Like
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on with anyone else because
Speaker 1: you're not with each other. So you only know you've
Speaker 1: won when they show up and with a family member,
Speaker 1: I think, and tell you you've won. But it's interesting, man,
Speaker 1: I love this. I mean, I grew up camping and
Speaker 1: I'm really into the concept of survival and and making
Speaker 1: your own way in the woods, and uh so I'm
Speaker 1: into it. I think it's a really really cool show.
Speaker 1: If you're industry. I used to watch Survivor Man, like religiously,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows. Are you saying? I used
Speaker 1: to watch Survivor Man. No Survivor Mann the name of
Speaker 1: the show. I can't remember the guy's name now, which
Speaker 1: is remarkable. For how much I watched Uh what was
Speaker 1: that guy's name? I can't remember. He was good, though,
Speaker 1: but alone, I highly recommend if you're into that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. I'm looking forward to the other seasons. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta have a strong stomach, you know, if you
Speaker 1: can't handle seeing a moose get gutted or or a
Speaker 1: rabbit being degloved. That word gives me the gives me
Speaker 1: the creep. The guys Survivorman his name is Les Stroud, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Less Stroud. Yeah, that's right. He was good. Never was
Speaker 1: into bear grills. That was a little more sensational, I think,
Speaker 1: and not so real. But um, alone is good. And
Speaker 1: then all the other night I watched a Shadow of
Speaker 1: a Doubt, an old Hitchcock movie. Emily and I are
Speaker 1: getting into watching. We got the Criterion channel, uh on
Speaker 1: our iTunes TV or whatever Apple TV, and I highly
Speaker 1: recommend it if you anyone can swing the whatever six
Speaker 1: or seven bucks a month. Criterion network is amazing. And
Speaker 1: I've just got a playlist now, watch list full of
Speaker 1: classic movies, foreign films, little scene indies, really good stuff. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: to that point, Chuck, if I may U, is it
Speaker 1: really only six or seven bucks? I can't remember. I
Speaker 1: mean I think that the most. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: everything else. So I just got HBO Max, which is
Speaker 1: the ship. Okay, that's that's totally reasonable. HBO Max that
Speaker 1: has a whole section from Turner classic movies, and it's
Speaker 1: like this amazing hodgepodge of like all these cool classics
Speaker 1: that I've always thought about but never seen, like Singing
Speaker 1: in the Rain things we talked about, like you know,
Speaker 1: Footlight Parade, like a lot of these old Buzby Berkeley
Speaker 1: musicals and stuff. Also, I watched Zanna do the other
Speaker 1: night um Man just for just for kicks. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: not good, but it's fucking great. Like it's got um
Speaker 1: what's his name? Gene Kelly is in it, and there's
Speaker 1: all these amazing dance sequences that I always assumed it
Speaker 1: was just weird like psychedelic roller Derby ship, but it's
Speaker 1: more than that. It's also got like a lot of
Speaker 1: like you know, twenties flapper kind of dance sequences and
Speaker 1: like you know, the boogie woogie Bogle Boy of Company
Speaker 1: be kind of like military kind of like dance band
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And gene Kelly and uh a Living
Speaker 1: and John tap dancing together and then also tons of
Speaker 1: eighties ship. Um. But yeah, the whole thing is just
Speaker 1: really good. Um, the selection, but the selection on HBO
Speaker 1: Max they have all of the studio Ghibli movies so
Speaker 1: you can watch, you know, everything Miazaki ever did. Uh.
Speaker 1: They've got tons of cool stuff from adults swim, They've
Speaker 1: got lots of classic loony tunes, have got obviously all
Speaker 1: the HBO stuff. There's a new show called I Will
Speaker 1: Destroy You that everyone is just screaming about that. I'm
Speaker 1: excited to watch, but if not yet, but um, really
Speaker 1: excited about that. I think I might cancel Netflix, uh
Speaker 1: and just go with HBO Max and maybe add on criteria.
Speaker 1: And because I'm in a real head space for watching
Speaker 1: all this filling these gaps chuck holes if you will. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're kind of there too. Um. It was fun watching
Speaker 1: that Hitchcock movie the other night. It's supposedly hitch his
Speaker 1: favorite movie of his own, uh, and it was just
Speaker 1: it was fantastic stick Joseph Cotton, it was. It was
Speaker 1: really good stuff, very noirri and the central mystery is
Speaker 1: sort of revealed in Act two and which makes a
Speaker 1: very interesting Act three. Is all I will say really
Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. And and Criterion is great too, because
Speaker 1: the way they curate even their page is really interesting.
Speaker 1: I think they group things into themes. They'll be like
Speaker 1: directed by or female directors or black Lives Matter section. Uh.
Speaker 1: They just have a lot of creative ways that they
Speaker 1: curate their page, aside from just like here's all the
Speaker 1: movies in alphabetical order. Do you do it on Roku
Speaker 1: or what? What? What do you do it on? I
Speaker 1: do Apple TV? Apple TV? Okay, because I'm Amazon Fire
Speaker 1: TV user, gotcha, Probably there's an app for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is. It's good stuff. I mean the
Speaker 1: recommended I'm looking at it and that was texting Casey
Speaker 1: last night, of course, and he's you know, that's his lifeblood.
Speaker 1: He's all over Criteria channel. All right, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: get going on this page with recommendations. We'll just buzz
Speaker 1: to a bunch of these old friend zack pointers watching
Speaker 1: the Runaways. Don't know that our oldest of friends, the
Speaker 1: wonderful Stellon Carlson says he's watching Parks and Wreck for
Speaker 1: the millionth time. A lot of people are rewatching stuff.
Speaker 1: It seems like Lena Carroll is watching Dr Foster. Have
Speaker 1: never heard of that? Have you heard of these knows?
Speaker 1: The Runaways is a Is it a movie about the Runaways?
Speaker 1: Like with I don't think so. No, there's a movie.
Speaker 1: There's a movie called the Runaways. He must be talking
Speaker 1: about some kind of maybe news. I think it's a
Speaker 1: TV sci fi superhero thing. What was that? What was
Speaker 1: the next one? Chuck? I'm sorry, I was Dr Foster.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Dr Foster. I don't either. Let's see. Uh.
Speaker 1: Don Lozano, one of our oldest Zappels, says she's halfway
Speaker 1: through the morning show and likes it way more than
Speaker 1: she thought. That's one of those Apple originals that I
Speaker 1: will probably never see because I just don't need another
Speaker 1: streaming subscription. Um, I've got too many. I've got that
Speaker 1: one too, know. Al it's got Steve Carrell in it,
Speaker 1: I believe, right, and it's supposed to be good. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's great. I don't know. I've obviously got a
Speaker 1: lot of money to throw at these shows, but I
Speaker 1: just I don't have I don't. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: too much for me. Dr Foster looks cool. Is it
Speaker 1: like a British it looks a BBC one. It looks British.
Speaker 1: You can never go wrong with the BBC. Know the
Speaker 1: Bebe Auntie Bebe. Now have you watched A Dark I
Speaker 1: started to um, it's very intriguing. Uh, it looks it
Speaker 1: reminds it makes me feel like it's gonna go into
Speaker 1: like a lost kind of direction, like an unstuckn time,
Speaker 1: you know, alternate reality kind of situation. But I have
Speaker 1: not h finished it. But I know people are absolutely
Speaker 1: uh nuts about it. I have not seen it. Rob
Speaker 1: Andrew was watching it and he says it may have
Speaker 1: jumped the shark part way through season three in his opinion.
Speaker 1: All right, here's one Terry Kleio when our old friend
Speaker 1: says I'll be gone in the dark and Perry Mason,
Speaker 1: both on HBO. I've heard that new Perry Mason is great.
Speaker 1: I watched the first episode. It's definitely got that vibe.
Speaker 1: It's very cool the production designs. It reminds me of
Speaker 1: a Boardwalk Empire as far as like the real attention
Speaker 1: to detail. But it's it's cool. It's like a noir
Speaker 1: kind of like he's like this grizzled private detective and
Speaker 1: it gets real raunchy too, Like there's an Oliver Hardy
Speaker 1: type character that they're following, and he's like having sex
Speaker 1: with some like ingenue using like cake, like eating cake
Speaker 1: off of her naked body. Interesting. Yeah, it's pretty pretty filthy,
Speaker 1: but it's it's great and John Lithgo is in it,
Speaker 1: plays a lawyer and he's always awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love lift caw uh and then I'll be gone in
Speaker 1: the dark. I think that's the one Patton Oswalt's wife
Speaker 1: who passed away. Um, the Golden Stake Killer. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to see that. Um is that a movie or
Speaker 1: is it? Ah, it's a it's a documentary series. Oh man,
Speaker 1: And I definitely need to see that. That was so sad.
Speaker 1: Michelle McNamara, Uh, yeah, I need to put that on
Speaker 1: the Old List. Yeah. I mean, I think that her
Speaker 1: book wasn't finished when she passed, and a lot of
Speaker 1: her research assistants or some folks in the community helped
Speaker 1: kind of finish it because she was a definitive. I
Speaker 1: think her work led to the capture or a lot
Speaker 1: of the information led to them on turning over some
Speaker 1: stones that led to the capture of this guy who
Speaker 1: was a former cop um, really interesting story. Most notorious rapist,
Speaker 1: uh serial rapist um in in California and murderer obviously
Speaker 1: of course too. And what a great uh, what a
Speaker 1: what a great thing to do to ensure her legacy,
Speaker 1: and that that finally came out, you know, for such
Speaker 1: a sad, sad situation, Trevor Happer and also says dark
Speaker 1: is great. Becca lou one of our old friends, is
Speaker 1: the Alienist season two. She loved the first season. She
Speaker 1: can't wait for this one. I think we saw one. See.
Speaker 1: I read that book when it came out many many
Speaker 1: years ago and loved it. And uh, you know the
Speaker 1: did you know the premise? I have not even heard
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, it was a book about it was
Speaker 1: historical fiction about the first serial killer in New York.
Speaker 1: Uh in the jeez, I don't even know what year
Speaker 1: it was. I guess it was sometime in the nineteenth century.
Speaker 1: And um, it was really a great book. And I
Speaker 1: think I watched an episode of the season one in
Speaker 1: the pilot and liked it. And it was just you
Speaker 1: know how how it is and all you you got
Speaker 1: to really commit to a show these days, and I
Speaker 1: did not commit to that show. Maybe I should have.
Speaker 1: It's hard, man, because there's so many Like there's even
Speaker 1: shows where I'm like, oh, this is great, and for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, not consciously, I just drift away. I don't
Speaker 1: come back. I find something else, some other shiny object
Speaker 1: that kind of pulls me off. And then then sometimes
Speaker 1: I go back and I'm delighted, Like I was that
Speaker 1: way with Better Call Saul. Originally I watched a few
Speaker 1: episodes and I was like, Oh, this is really cool.
Speaker 1: But then something just you know, distracted me and then
Speaker 1: took my attention away. And then when I thought you
Speaker 1: were all over that, well I was, but that was
Speaker 1: on the second go round. That was like like I
Speaker 1: had to kind of come back to it and give
Speaker 1: another shot again. But not because I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: It was just something, you know, it wasn't in the stars.
Speaker 1: But then I yeah, it became one of my favorite
Speaker 1: shows of all times. So sometimes I think you gotta
Speaker 1: give you know, It's it's annoying to people say, oh,
Speaker 1: you gotta wait till the fifth episode. That's when it
Speaker 1: really gets good. And with everything that we've got, you know,
Speaker 1: vying for our attention, that's a hard to give four
Speaker 1: hours to something. H Well, what we do in the
Speaker 1: Shadows has been perfect for us because we've got a
Speaker 1: lot of I don't want to get into all of it,
Speaker 1: but we got a lot of heavy family stuff going
Speaker 1: on in addition to the pandemic and my wife's business,
Speaker 1: uh floundering because of the pandemic. So we've got a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of fires burning, and so what
Speaker 1: we do in the Shadows has been a welcome, welcome relief.
Speaker 1: Just check out and what and laugh for a couple
Speaker 1: of hours every night. Been wonderful. It's awesome. Let me
Speaker 1: see here, Kristen Johnson, I haven't heard of this. Breeders
Speaker 1: is a British show on Hulu, darkly comic look at
Speaker 1: parenting with Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard. I love Martin Freeman.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Umbrella Academy? I really liked it. Christina
Speaker 1: Mardsen is is big on that one, and I've heard
Speaker 1: a lot of great things. I think there's a new season.
Speaker 1: Can that'd be great? Um it? Yeah, I guess it
Speaker 1: was in production pre pre pre pandemic, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: Um it's based on it's really interesting. You may know
Speaker 1: this already, Chuck, but it's based on a comic book
Speaker 1: series created by and written by Gerard Way, the singer
Speaker 1: of the Emo band My Chemical Romance, and he has
Speaker 1: a real background in comics. He writes a lot for
Speaker 1: this other property called Doom Patrol. And back in the
Speaker 1: several years ago when we were still doing video for
Speaker 1: How Stuff Works, we actually interviewed him at Comic Con
Speaker 1: in New York. Um, and he's really like he's not
Speaker 1: just some vanity project for a rock star, Like he's
Speaker 1: into comics before he was in a band. Um And
Speaker 1: it's a really fully for It's a little tweet like
Speaker 1: the show Umbrella Academy, but it's good man and it's
Speaker 1: very creative. It reminds me of like, you know, Watchman
Speaker 1: a little bit and things like of that ILK. I
Speaker 1: have to check that out. I heard it's good. Let
Speaker 1: me see Melinda Baccaleo, our oldest of friends has Letter
Speaker 1: Kinney and what we do in the Shadows. I've heard
Speaker 1: a lot of great things about Letter Kinney but did
Speaker 1: not get to it. It's very funny. A lot of
Speaker 1: good memes pulled from that one just still frames Um.
Speaker 1: There's actually an unfortunate one with one of the characters.
Speaker 1: They all coin they're like these Canadian rednecks, and there's
Speaker 1: one that's been used for a lot of racist memes
Speaker 1: and the and the guy who plays him in the
Speaker 1: show has actually spoke out about it and said, hey, trolls,
Speaker 1: stopped using my image for your racist memes and kind
Speaker 1: of spoke out about, you know how he supports Black
Speaker 1: Lives Matter movement and all this stuff and wishes people
Speaker 1: would stop that. Hard when you're like a public figure
Speaker 1: and you have a very distinct look and then it
Speaker 1: gets co opted and used in in a way that
Speaker 1: you don't approve of, that's that's gotta suck, man, you know.
Speaker 1: I think. So, oh, here's a Bonnie Jacques who I
Speaker 1: have not seen before, so welcome. Bonnie is also watching
Speaker 1: alone from History Channel. She said, some seasons available on Netflix.
Speaker 1: New season currently airing on TV Great Outdoor Adventure, Hard
Speaker 1: to stop watching. Yeah, I totally agree. Now I haven't
Speaker 1: I've heard of this show I May Destroy You? Is
Speaker 1: that the one you were talking about? This from Brianna
Speaker 1: Rossi says, to watch that. You know, what's the prim
Speaker 1: I think it's sort of like it's about sexual assault. Um,
Speaker 1: and please forgive my very loose overview, But it's about
Speaker 1: sort of like a working backwards to trace what happened
Speaker 1: on a night where someone was the main character I believe,
Speaker 1: was assaulted and there's like a lack of memory and
Speaker 1: it almost has this detective e vibe where it's like
Speaker 1: he's trying to figure out what happened. Um. Oh oh wait,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this now. I just read about this.
Speaker 1: Didn't you say you like Chewing Gum? Didn't you talk
Speaker 1: about that a while ago? You never? Okay, So Chewing
Speaker 1: Gum was a British television show that this woman and
Speaker 1: creator also had something to do with, and I believe
Speaker 1: there's a loose connection between Chewing Gum and this. But
Speaker 1: John Cameron Mitchell is actually the one who who I
Speaker 1: saw really singing its praises and he compared it to
Speaker 1: like The Wire and the Sopranos, which was interesting because
Speaker 1: I don't think it's particularly crimey. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued and I've got to check it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is uh. I know what what I read recently
Speaker 1: is um. The creator, MICHAELA. Cole is on the Forbes
Speaker 1: thirty Under thirty was on that list and she turned
Speaker 1: down a million dollar offer from Netflix, because did you
Speaker 1: read that the wouldn't give her any back end like
Speaker 1: at all, or end ownershire i P. Yeah, they would.
Speaker 1: They wanted like you know, as we know, every other
Speaker 1: company in the world wants to own the I P
Speaker 1: for everything. That's just the name of the game, that's
Speaker 1: the business. And she said she wanted five of her
Speaker 1: show that she created, and they said, uh, here was
Speaker 1: here was the quote that was just silence on the phone,
Speaker 1: and they said, it's not how we do things here
Speaker 1: and nobody does that. It's not a big deal. And
Speaker 1: so she said, well, if it's not a big deal,
Speaker 1: then I'd really like to have that five percent. And uh,
Speaker 1: I think eventually she went down to two percent, then
Speaker 1: one percent, and then point five percent, and then I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure she walked and said, get bent. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's it is the name
Speaker 1: of the game. But I guess it's BO gave her
Speaker 1: a better deal. Yeah, it's disappointing ownership, man, it's it's
Speaker 1: a So there's a lot of power in that. So
Speaker 1: good for her, that's what I say. I realized she
Speaker 1: was so young. How old is she? I don't know.
Speaker 1: You said thirty under thirty. Uh, that may have been
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but still I assume that
Speaker 1: she's still relatively close to thirty. Uh. That's impressive. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll have to check that out. It looks great. Alright. No,
Speaker 1: I think that wraps it up. You can check out
Speaker 1: that thread on the Crushers page if you want some
Speaker 1: good rex and some good back and forth on what
Speaker 1: people are watching. And you got anything else? No, well,
Speaker 1: really really quickly this. I mean, look, look, I don't
Speaker 1: want to totally go down rabbit hole here, but have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of the record label Burger Records. No,
Speaker 1: they're kind of like a very influential tape label out
Speaker 1: of Fullerton, California. Like some of their biggest bands are
Speaker 1: bands like the Growlers. There's kind of like a psychic
Speaker 1: all of this stuff is kind of garage e and psyched.
Speaker 1: The Black Lips are the Atlanta band. The Black Lips
Speaker 1: associated with them anyway over the weekend, all of these
Speaker 1: crazy allegations of like them just creating this culture of
Speaker 1: like you know, grooming underaged girls for like sex with
Speaker 1: people in the bands and the label owners and like
Speaker 1: you know, they have a record store that's very popular
Speaker 1: among like teenagers and Californ full Aton and um. All
Speaker 1: of these allegations came out over the weekend. A instagram
Speaker 1: called Lured by Burger Records was established. I joined it
Speaker 1: when it was like four thousand strong and a couple
Speaker 1: of days was up to twenty thousand, and today they
Speaker 1: just announced the label is closed down completely. So you know,
Speaker 1: I believe believe people when they tell these stories, you know,
Speaker 1: and it was like so many specific instances with different
Speaker 1: bands all across the culture that this label kind of created.
Speaker 1: Uh for many many years. They were really influential and
Speaker 1: apparently just kind of had this culture that was sort
Speaker 1: of fundamentally part of the fabric of the scene and
Speaker 1: you know, the label and uh power, it's very powerful
Speaker 1: when people come out and are empowered to share their
Speaker 1: stories and they created real change because they they're done. Well,
Speaker 1: thankfully that it is happening more and mornal use your
Speaker 1: voice people, all right, Well, I think it's a great
Speaker 1: way to end. So thank you sir, and uh we'll
Speaker 1: hit stop and then record again and do this all
Speaker 1: over again in a few minutes. Love it. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to everyone. Bye you safe For more podcasts for
