Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to Mini Crush, Mini Crush, Mini Crush.
Speaker 1: What are they where? No, that's like you're doing smelly
Speaker 1: Cat now. I was kind of doing. Um, I was
Speaker 1: sort of doing the Star Trek theme dot dot dot
Speaker 1: dot all cats Medleyka, what a smelly cat? Is that?
Speaker 1: From dirty Rock? From Friends? From Friends? I didn't know
Speaker 1: they ripped off Star Trek. I guess our star track.
Speaker 1: It's my face Avorite. How are you doing? I'm doing well, man,
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of on the manda from my scooter injury.
Speaker 1: All right, let's hear scooter update. Scooter update. Uh, my
Speaker 1: arm is about it's operating about seven percent capacity. I
Speaker 1: can still, I can lift it up, I can wash
Speaker 1: my hair, I can turn the key to the ignition
Speaker 1: to my chart my right hand. Thankfully I'm a lefty,
Speaker 1: I think. So it hasn't affected too many activities. Um
Speaker 1: already already with what good lord? No listen. Um. We
Speaker 1: actually had a listener right in on the movie Crushers
Speaker 1: page who had a very very similar scooter incident. I
Speaker 1: know a young lady. She even posted video of her
Speaker 1: busting ass and then pictures of her really kind of
Speaker 1: badly bruised legs and knee. I felt bad for I
Speaker 1: felt vindicated, That's what I felt. Yeah, well I should
Speaker 1: guess she'd find I'm gonna find her name. I just
Speaker 1: got killed scoter in Atlanta, hit by truck, first scooter death.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't know that. Even it's gonna start happening. Man,
Speaker 1: I hate this thing. I do too, dude, I do
Speaker 1: too with a passion. Now. So no, let's catch up.
Speaker 1: Guess what we're not doing corrections corner anymore. I deleted
Speaker 1: that post. Even we're killing it. We're just done what
Speaker 1: you're talking about, Okay, go a little tedious revisionist history. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you know, the original idea was like, hey, what
Speaker 1: movie things did we get wrong? And then it became, um,
Speaker 1: you're saying you're not pronouncing a word right, more like
Speaker 1: pedantic corner? Am I right? Yeah? So, and truthfully, it's
Speaker 1: not a great bit anyway. It's just dumb. So um,
Speaker 1: it's too hard on yourself, chuck. Sorry everyone, I will
Speaker 1: say this though, let's finish it out. A few people
Speaker 1: posted this, thank you for being a friend. Was not
Speaker 1: Carol king you. I was thinking, I said, that. I
Speaker 1: was thinking of, Uh, you just gonna let my name,
Speaker 1: and you know what, You've got a friend. That James
Speaker 1: Taylor song, God a friend in me looking over here,
Speaker 1: there's a thing going on. Maybe we could get some
Speaker 1: lunch together sometime. What a guy? Can you just sing
Speaker 1: about anything? You're saying? It's a Disney Family guy does
Speaker 1: a good bit with that where he's like, look, go
Speaker 1: over there, it's an apple tree. Got to pick me
Speaker 1: apple it. Sure it's delicious. So I just ripped off
Speaker 1: Family guy. No, it's not not at all. By the way,
Speaker 1: that is not Carol King. I got it wrong. I
Speaker 1: was thinking of, you've got a friend. Uh, it was
Speaker 1: written by a gentleman, and then for the Golden Girls theme,
Speaker 1: it was sung by a lady named Cynthia. Got something,
Speaker 1: got it? So that's the last one. Everyone. I had
Speaker 1: never ascribed that song to having even having a writer.
Speaker 1: I thought I just kind of like came into being,
Speaker 1: you know, be Arthur just set a fever dream exactly.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that The Golden Girls was a spin
Speaker 1: off of another show called Maud. I didn't know about Maud.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. I just watched Maud is be
Speaker 1: Arthur's character and Golden Girl's mod. Ye, what that's Maud.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Yeah, Maud was when I
Speaker 1: was kid. It was the seventies and it was speaking
Speaker 1: of theme songs. Was that big famous producer guy that
Speaker 1: did all those Oh man Nol, You haven't heard the
Speaker 1: theme song to Maud? No lady, good dab. But was
Speaker 1: a freedom ride? Oh that's great. Oh it's great. They
Speaker 1: thinking about women in history, and then they go and
Speaker 1: then there's Maud. Of course she occupies her own individual spaces. Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like a dummy. I mean, I guess I've
Speaker 1: never seen Golden Girls. I wouldn't know. They wouldn't have known.
Speaker 1: But I did not know that was Mad. So what's
Speaker 1: the idea she has? She lost her husband, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1: And I only read a brief synopsis of Maud. I've
Speaker 1: never seen Maud. But I think in Maud she lives
Speaker 1: in like she's a very like liberal, kind of like
Speaker 1: activist d type woman in New York City living in
Speaker 1: a house with a bunch of unconventional roommates and and
Speaker 1: mad she had a husband, and Maud she maybe had
Speaker 1: a husband, but I think she has like a deadbeat
Speaker 1: son or something that looks I don't know, it's been
Speaker 1: a while, but what's the relationship in the Golden Girls?
Speaker 1: Who was she to them? Are they? They're all pal
Speaker 1: sisters for in their friends and there's no sex thing.
Speaker 1: They have a gay roommate that was a big deal.
Speaker 1: That was like one of the first like outside of soap,
Speaker 1: I believe, But no, I think the thing with the
Speaker 1: roommate in Golden Girls, they maybe don't openly talk about
Speaker 1: that he's gay. He just kind of like is clearly
Speaker 1: a gay character. But in so Billy Crystal's character like
Speaker 1: he So yeah, soap it's fucking funny. Yeah, it's really good,
Speaker 1: way ahead of its time. Uh. Nola had Pam Peacock
Speaker 1: on in her show, went over like Gangbusters. She is
Speaker 1: a cool gal. Pam's awesome and we had a great talk.
Speaker 1: And now Pam it's like the hit of the movie
Speaker 1: Crush Page. Everyone's like more Pam. Really, Yes, We're gonna
Speaker 1: do a filmmaker series. I just seven decided or it's
Speaker 1: really up to her, um, but I pitched to her
Speaker 1: either more Michelle Gandry or just filmmaker or films by
Speaker 1: artists like Schnabel Julian Schnabel or Tom Ford like they're
Speaker 1: making movies. Yeah, they are making movies interesting. I agree. Maybe. Uh,
Speaker 1: Julie Taymour was she an artist. She was like a
Speaker 1: theater person. She did a lot of like production designed
Speaker 1: for operas and big, big stage production. I think I
Speaker 1: just want to talk about her movies. Movies are cool.
Speaker 1: And I'm also announcing another filmmaker series because I'm enjoying
Speaker 1: these folks. Adam Pranica from Friendly Fire we recorded, which
Speaker 1: will be out. Actually, I think it's already out when
Speaker 1: you're hearing this. But Adam and I did Hard eight
Speaker 1: p t Anderson's first film, and we are going to
Speaker 1: do a pt Anderson series. That's the one pt Anderson
Speaker 1: movie that I have not seen. I think we talked
Speaker 1: about this last episode. Well, that's just a whole you
Speaker 1: gotta film. Okay, I'm ready to read too. I'm ready
Speaker 1: for it, all right. No, and the other thing we're
Speaker 1: gonna catch up on here at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: show is put up some poles for live shows. No poles, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I was just curious to see, what, you know, if
Speaker 1: we could get some support to go out and do
Speaker 1: a few shows. Uh, and so I picked six cities
Speaker 1: and pitted them again it's one another and uh we
Speaker 1: got four and forty votes. Um, Chicago got six of
Speaker 1: those in Austin. So in theory would be so, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: tickets in Chicago, that's utterly respectable. Chuck. Yeah, of course
Speaker 1: these are people just saying click not I will be
Speaker 1: off work, I will buy a ticket, I will come
Speaker 1: to the show. So you got to reduce that number.
Speaker 1: But I think if we get anywhere close to a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people totally, that's well worth our time.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of good venues in Chicago. We could
Speaker 1: do it as a place called the Hideaway. That seems
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And there's a lot of like smaller kind
Speaker 1: of d i y venues that do like podcast host
Speaker 1: podcast shows, and I know a bunch people that live there.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this. I think the one caveat here, folks,
Speaker 1: is that my year is pretty full with stuff you
Speaker 1: should know, shows and other travel and stuff and vacations,
Speaker 1: and I can't, uh, I can't just pick up and
Speaker 1: leave my wife and daughter a lot because it sucks
Speaker 1: for me and them. I agree, So we're going to
Speaker 1: try and figure it out them. Yeah, we can, you know,
Speaker 1: plan out ahead. Seattle in Los Angeles, pitted against one
Speaker 1: another sixty votes, resounding love from Seattle. I just don't
Speaker 1: think we should go to l A. Never been to Seattle. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well maybe we should make that the first time. I
Speaker 1: like it. I think my other show, Stuff They Don't
Speaker 1: Want You to Know, is going to do a little
Speaker 1: mini West Coast tour later this year. That would be fun.
Speaker 1: That would be Oregon. It was funny. There was like
Speaker 1: a thing on Nurdice that was like the most popular
Speaker 1: podcast in different cities and ridiculous history one for Oregon,
Speaker 1: that's for Portland or something. It was really strange. Um
Speaker 1: different show, but it's still I'm looking forward. So I'd
Speaker 1: love to take you to your first Seattle. I would
Speaker 1: hang out with John Roderick Jennings and we could get
Speaker 1: highest balls. Legally, it sounds like a plan. Do you
Speaker 1: wander around, go to the market thing with the yeah
Speaker 1: you got the fucking fish there you go? Or catch
Speaker 1: a fish. Gum wall here, there's a gum wall. There's
Speaker 1: a gum wall. Yeah, it's gross. Yeah, it sounds pretty gross.
Speaker 1: Get some of those uh Couture's cherries, that's what they're called.
Speaker 1: Is that a particular thing, chocolate cover cherries? Okay, Seattle, Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I'm getting the
Speaker 1: name right. Okay. And then finally Noel Boston, New York.
Speaker 1: We should just go to both of those because close
Speaker 1: to five boats. So that's great, dude, we could pick
Speaker 1: out like a four city thing. Absolutely at least three.
Speaker 1: That would be so fun. Alright, No, I know I'm
Speaker 1: a a squeaky wheel here, Chuck. Sorry, I love my family. No,
Speaker 1: it's okay, dude, I love my family too. All right,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with I haven't explained anything in
Speaker 1: a while, had a little extra time to put into
Speaker 1: this episode. So we're gonna talk today. Everyone about the
Speaker 1: Wilhelm scream. Hollywood, I know you're a fan of the
Speaker 1: Bill Holmes scream. Nol. Yeah, it's like that. Ah, that's
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's a pretty good Bolt scream. I gotta say. So,
Speaker 1: here's the story. Most people know this. A lot of
Speaker 1: people listening to this probably know this what it is.
Speaker 1: You may not know what some of the more detailed
Speaker 1: parts of the story. Some of you may not know
Speaker 1: what this is at all. So you're welcome because it's
Speaker 1: one of the great great things in life and in
Speaker 1: the film business. Uh, the fact that there is a
Speaker 1: sound effect effect what the fact? Wait, I'm adding tease
Speaker 1: to Crux. I need to get that tea from Crux.
Speaker 1: Put it on effect United States. Um, it's there. There's
Speaker 1: a sound effect called the Wilhelm screen that has been
Speaker 1: used in more than two films, UM, hugely popular films
Speaker 1: like Anchorman and Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings,
Speaker 1: Toy Story, Reservoir Dogs, UM, smaller independent films, and it
Speaker 1: has sort of been an in joke since it's It
Speaker 1: was revived in the nineties seventies. So I think, without
Speaker 1: going any for there, maybe let's just go ahead and
Speaker 1: play the Wilhelm scream right now so everyone hears it
Speaker 1: in its purest form. All right, that's it, everyone, Now,
Speaker 1: let's play it for real. Here we go. All right,
Speaker 1: So there it is. I gotta say, nol. Maybe we
Speaker 1: didn't even need to say it. I think you just
Speaker 1: needed more like uh vault general volume on it. You
Speaker 1: were being kind to the microphone, you know, I try
Speaker 1: to have good microphone etiquette, Chuck, you do a good job.
Speaker 1: So Uh, like I said, it's a stock effect. It
Speaker 1: was first used in there was a western called Distant
Speaker 1: Drums starring Gary Cooper, and there was a scene and
Speaker 1: you can watch it on YouTube, the very first use
Speaker 1: of the Wilhelm scream where some dudes are walking through
Speaker 1: a swamp and they get one of them gets dragged
Speaker 1: under by an alligator. So, uh, debuted in that movie.
Speaker 1: They did. Apparently, screams in the studio were performed, and
Speaker 1: then the fifth of the six became this infamous scream. However,
Speaker 1: it was not known as the Willelm scream at the time. Um,
Speaker 1: that comes from a movie. Well, let me back up
Speaker 1: a bit. Following that debut, uh, it became a part
Speaker 1: of the sound effects library at Warner Brothers Studios and
Speaker 1: was used in movies back then here and there, just
Speaker 1: as not as a joke, but just as a scream
Speaker 1: for your stock horror movie or whatever. Then in the
Speaker 1: early nineteen seventies at usc S Film School, there are
Speaker 1: some students who dug this thing up and noticed that
Speaker 1: it was used in a bunch of movies. Uh. They
Speaker 1: saw they thought. I think at the time that the
Speaker 1: very first usage was from a nineteen sixty three film
Speaker 1: called The Charge at Feather River. There was a character
Speaker 1: named Private Wilhelm who gets shot with an arrow and
Speaker 1: let's out the scream. So that's why it's called the
Speaker 1: Wilhelm Scream. Got it? Um. Then these USC students started
Speaker 1: putting them in movies when they started, when they graduated
Speaker 1: and started making films as a joke. As a joke,
Speaker 1: it was like an at leaster e that's cool. Uh,
Speaker 1: And notably Um, a gentleman name the last name of
Speaker 1: Burt b r t t I was a sound designer
Speaker 1: at USA, went on to do sound designed for Star
Speaker 1: Wars and then very famously in the scene where Luke
Speaker 1: and Leah are uh on the little perch with nothingness
Speaker 1: in between them and they eventually make the big grappling
Speaker 1: hook swing across, but before that they're shooting up at
Speaker 1: stormtroopers on the ledge. They shoot one, he falls off
Speaker 1: class acuse of the wilh Holme screen. It was in
Speaker 1: all the Star Wars movies, that was in all the
Speaker 1: Raiders movies. It's been a ton of ton of films
Speaker 1: over the years. And here's the fun part. They think
Speaker 1: they have figured out who actually is responsible for it.
Speaker 1: They found old call sheet from Distant Drums and then uh,
Speaker 1: they had people listed for that day for additional dialogue recording.
Speaker 1: And the one that they think it is was an
Speaker 1: actor in a musician named chev Wooley. We don't know
Speaker 1: for sure, but chev Wooley did go on to sing
Speaker 1: Purple People eater, great name the novelty song. Yeah, one eyed,
Speaker 1: one horn flying purple People. That's good stuff. Chock. So
Speaker 1: that's the Bill Holm scream everyone, Hollywood history. Yeah, well sure,
Speaker 1: Hollywood history, that's what we call it. So now that
Speaker 1: we know what that is, jeez, I haven't done this before,
Speaker 1: have I? Have I done Bill Holmes scream already? No?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not be Superman, No not all that was news
Speaker 1: to me. Here's a little cherry on top of this
Speaker 1: story to nol is that we talked about the Bill
Speaker 1: Holmes scream and stuff you should know years ago. Asked
Speaker 1: Cherry to insert it and she inserted the wrong effect.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's some random scream and search for the
Speaker 1: Wilhelm screen. Well she did. I think it was just
Speaker 1: mislabeled and she didn't run it by us. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: said Bill Holmes scream on the file. That's right, that
Speaker 1: makes sense. So we had an egg on our face.
Speaker 1: Remember back in the day, maybe you don't um, but
Speaker 1: when used to like Torrent things, it wasn't even torn.
Speaker 1: It was pre Torrent. Napster things. MP three would be mislabeled,
Speaker 1: so you'd like be looking for like Dave Matthews band
Speaker 1: and it would be like some schmos, you know, track
Speaker 1: that he made in his bedroom, uploaded to Napster and
Speaker 1: try to get people to you know, get into his stuff. Nice.
Speaker 1: I like that. All right. Now we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: the social studies, real quick. Social studies, uh, and just
Speaker 1: read some of these. I asked, has anyone ever been
Speaker 1: angry at someone else's opinion of a movie that you
Speaker 1: loved because someone had an opinion about something that you
Speaker 1: cherished that kind of just made you mad? Can you
Speaker 1: think of one? I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 1: feel that about you and Lord of the Rings Chuck, Well,
Speaker 1: Jim Frank certainly does. He got a lot of laughs.
Speaker 1: He went off on me and you for you not
Speaker 1: knowing it well enough, and me because he didn't think
Speaker 1: I even watched it. The movies, but he was kidding.
Speaker 1: It was a big long diet tribe, so big up
Speaker 1: to you, Jim, But he was just joking around. He
Speaker 1: loves us because I thought there were like four movies
Speaker 1: or something like that. It was all tongue in cheek
Speaker 1: though that's totally fair opinion of yeah, I mean, well,
Speaker 1: oh well yeah, Mandy. Our pal Christopher Hasciotes hated it,
Speaker 1: despised it, you were indifferent, which I was still a
Speaker 1: little miffed by, if I'm being honest. But Christopher Hasiotes
Speaker 1: hated it. He he called it jokingly to me via text, Man,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Mandy's last hour and a half of
Speaker 1: my life have been wasted or whatever. It's really funny, Christopera.
Speaker 1: It was pretty good work that. When I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it justice. He did it much better jobbing
Speaker 1: than that. But um, yeah, I know that bugged me
Speaker 1: and some people you know, have really come down strongly
Speaker 1: against that movie, just saying and I think it's I
Speaker 1: don't know. I hate to be dismissive and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you just didn't get it, but sometimes there is that element,
Speaker 1: there's a thing just doesn't click where it clicks for
Speaker 1: somebody It's hard to say that out loud because that's
Speaker 1: the ultimate snobby thing to say, why caveat it? And
Speaker 1: sometimes people just don't get it sometimes, but it don't
Speaker 1: get it because especially with a very genre movie like that,
Speaker 1: like either you're like in it or you're not, you know,
Speaker 1: And I was just super super into because it clicked
Speaker 1: all these buttons for me. Yeah, or something that's supposed
Speaker 1: like supposed to supposed to be dumb humor or tongue
Speaker 1: in cheek and people are just like, it wasn't funny.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, no, it's not. You don't get it.
Speaker 1: It's not classically funny. They're trying to do the thing.
Speaker 1: Great example, like that movie hot Rod. Have you seen
Speaker 1: hot Rod? It's it's that kind of thing where it's like,
Speaker 1: if you don't really know that style of humor, you're
Speaker 1: kind of like, this is just a dumb, bad movie.
Speaker 1: But then if you realize how tongue in cheek it
Speaker 1: is and how much they're leaning into this kind of
Speaker 1: like weird, sort of subtle psyched k, then yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say maybe you just didn't get
Speaker 1: it right. It's like saying, what hot American summer was
Speaker 1: just like this weird bed eighties can't movie very similar? Like, yes,
Speaker 1: hot Rod is very similar to what hot American Summer
Speaker 1: in that way. Yes, first love it. I love it too, Jada,
Speaker 1: I'm so Jade, and A Rosenberg says, people who brush
Speaker 1: off Clueless it's just a silly valley girl movie makes
Speaker 1: me livid. Shares a very strong female role. The writing
Speaker 1: is great, it's fantastic coming of age story. She got
Speaker 1: a lot of likes and loves for that. I could
Speaker 1: not agree more. Jade, Clueless is a great movie. Really
Speaker 1: really enjoy it, and Emily lives it. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: that probably since it came out. It's good. I remember
Speaker 1: liking it. I was, you know, a preteen kind of
Speaker 1: Paul Rudd who looked exactly the same today. He made
Speaker 1: that dude's a vampire. That dude is the vampireless stat
Speaker 1: he has a vampire. I don't want to meet him
Speaker 1: one day. It seems like an interesting dude. All right, here,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go with a little bit of a controversial topic.
Speaker 1: Brian Amadi says this recent Keanu Reeves phenomena. I hear
Speaker 1: people raping about him all the time now, and I
Speaker 1: get irritated. Uh. He may be a great guy and
Speaker 1: has been for but he has been for twenty years
Speaker 1: one of the worst working actors in film. Unfair, unfair.
Speaker 1: He said, there is not a movie save maybe Bill
Speaker 1: and Ted, that could not have been improved by casting
Speaker 1: another actor. I just don't agree. Yeah, because the thing
Speaker 1: that people forget about Keanu Reeves too is his like
Speaker 1: physicality and how much he like leans into doing all
Speaker 1: his own stunts and like what hard worker he is,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I think there are people that have
Speaker 1: certain qualities to their voice, uh where it may come
Speaker 1: across as a little more you know, Like Sharon Stone
Speaker 1: was one. I think she just has a voice that
Speaker 1: you know, for a while she was not regarded as
Speaker 1: like the best actor, but then she eventually got some
Speaker 1: really great roles improved everyone wrong. But I think Kiana
Speaker 1: might have one of those voices too. I know, kunk
Speaker 1: fu yeah exactly, you know, Um, I get it. But
Speaker 1: I think he is a good actor. That's the thing though,
Speaker 1: Like I I also think that he is a campy actor.
Speaker 1: He is sort of like a less over the top
Speaker 1: uh Nicolas Cage kind of only I think Nicholas Cage
Speaker 1: is a better actor. When he's a better act than
Speaker 1: conna Reeves. I would agree that The Counties isn't a
Speaker 1: great actor, but he's a very specific thing. No one
Speaker 1: else can really fill that Keanas shaped hole. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. That's what I'm saying, because that hole
Speaker 1: is shaped like the matrix. Uh. Mary Claire Grigson says,
Speaker 1: people who don't get to the movie Down with Love
Speaker 1: good Night, I haven't seen them. Joshua Fish, my boss
Speaker 1: didn't like The Princess Bride. That pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 1: It's the Princess Bride who doesn't like that movie. I
Speaker 1: don't know, you're dead inside. I think that's that's fair.
Speaker 1: Chuck American Psycho. That's who doesn't like that. Our old pal,
Speaker 1: Theresa Tomorrow. I've never met anyone who has seen good
Speaker 1: Night and good Luck? Oh, she says, I don't. I've
Speaker 1: never met anyone who has seen let alone loved good
Speaker 1: Night and good Luck. It's one of my all time
Speaker 1: favorite films. Oh. I think plenty of people saw that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, Um, it is one of those movies. Though
Speaker 1: that time forgot a little bit like it was such
Speaker 1: a big oscar movie, sort of like the Artist, remember
Speaker 1: the Artist. I didn't see that see, but that was
Speaker 1: a big old Oscar movie because it was one of
Speaker 1: those Hollywood worship movies that was like the Golden Age
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it was all black and white. Good
Speaker 1: Night and good Luck was very similarly that it was
Speaker 1: black and white. It was that leaned into that old
Speaker 1: timy kind of like right, yeah, exactly. But I'm saying
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people kind of forgot about
Speaker 1: that movie, and it was. It was very good. Both
Speaker 1: of them were very good. They really enjoyed it. Our
Speaker 1: oldest of friends, Vanessa Lopez says, when someone said to
Speaker 1: me once they thought Shaw Shank Redemption was a poorly
Speaker 1: executed movie, geez, not even I didn't like it poorly executed.
Speaker 1: I think Shaw Sank Redemption is one of the finer
Speaker 1: examples of movie making execution. What is wrong with people? Know?
Speaker 1: Now I'm getting mad. There's a lot of things wrong
Speaker 1: with people. Chuck, you know, where do you Where do
Speaker 1: you even start? Where do you even start? Our old
Speaker 1: pal Patrick Gorman starts with Star Wars episode one. The
Speaker 1: Phantom Menace especially makes me mad when people say they
Speaker 1: hated it at the time. I feel like it's become
Speaker 1: one of those cool to hate movies over the years,
Speaker 1: and I will die on this ill. What he's saying,
Speaker 1: it's good, I think, so holy cal where do I
Speaker 1: even start. He's got quite a little, uh, quite quite
Speaker 1: a few comments on that. I guess. The thing about
Speaker 1: that movie especially, it's just it feels so here's the
Speaker 1: thing about Star Wars in general. To me, it's always
Speaker 1: felt kind of like a melodrama, soap opera, e kind
Speaker 1: of space thing. But I think the old Ones, when
Speaker 1: it looked like an older you know, like a seventies
Speaker 1: kind of movie, and like special effects were so innovative
Speaker 1: and practical, it all worked, it felt like magic. The
Speaker 1: New Ones, everything is so clean and crisp, and the
Speaker 1: acting is just so bad, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: weird racial stereotypes, and the alien characters like jar Jar
Speaker 1: Banks is really gross and this whatever that kind of
Speaker 1: thing he's doing is. And then there's like the Trade
Speaker 1: Federation guys who kind of sound like these weird Asian stereotypes.
Speaker 1: And there's a ton of problematic things in those movies. Agreed, Sorry,
Speaker 1: Joel Marks. Joel s Mark says he gets mad at
Speaker 1: people who loved Avatar. I enjoyed it at the time
Speaker 1: for the spectacle of it all. It was certainly the
Speaker 1: best looking three D movie I've ever seen. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm on record as not being a fan
Speaker 1: of Avatar, but I don't think I would be mad
Speaker 1: at some when he loved it. But hey, that's why
Speaker 1: we're we're into this topic here. Absolutely, it's a good one.
Speaker 1: I think it's a really interesting question. J. M Arroyo,
Speaker 1: one of Oral Palace, says, my wife hated Gone with
Speaker 1: a Wind after investing all that time, uh to end
Speaker 1: the way that it did. She was so piste off,
Speaker 1: and I found myself defending it since it was my pick. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of people picking on me for
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. By the way, it shall be known,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any Harry Potter people yet coming after me,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure that will happen. Potter rights, Yeah, Potter rights,
Speaker 1: Potter bills. Uh. Chris Preville says I showed some friends
Speaker 1: um into the Spider Verse and their only response was
Speaker 1: it was okay, did you see a chuck? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: thought it was nothing, just okay about it was awesome.
Speaker 1: It was so cool, so visually striking, and the story
Speaker 1: was great. It had a heart. Yes, it was just
Speaker 1: it was good. And also I think for me too,
Speaker 1: it was so much more than I thought it was
Speaker 1: going to be going in then it just kind of
Speaker 1: grabbed me and just didn't let go. Yeah, it over
Speaker 1: delivered for what I was expecting. I tried to watch
Speaker 1: it with Emily, tried to watch it with Ruby the
Speaker 1: other day when I was out of town, and she
Speaker 1: said it was too scary for her. It's a little
Speaker 1: too spazzy kind of probably stuff I think, so going on.
Speaker 1: So she watched p J Masks again. What is that?
Speaker 1: P J Masks, p J mask Outlet? What is this?
Speaker 1: It's a kid show. It's it's very cute, it's huge. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's basically three little superhero kids. Oh cool? Uh and
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, it's taken over to J Masks. It's
Speaker 1: been around. It's it's good. I have to look into them.
Speaker 1: It's fun. So I decide to have another kid. Hey,
Speaker 1: never know, No you want all the kids? No? Not
Speaker 1: really really one and done. I've just got she's ten. Man,
Speaker 1: It's like, what am I gonna start over? Like I
Speaker 1: don't know, Like I feel like, I've done all the work.
Speaker 1: I'm already there. We're like pals. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have to start from zero. You know, I'm good, guys. Prediction,
Speaker 1: an old daughter is going to be like a senior
Speaker 1: in high school and he's gonna have a baby in
Speaker 1: his arms. Graduate. You never know, dude, You never know
Speaker 1: because you had it when you were young, so you could.
Speaker 1: It's not like you would be an old dad even
Speaker 1: now you would be a medium. That'd be a medium dad.
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not over, nol. It's not over
Speaker 1: till it's over. You better, you know, you could make
Speaker 1: sure this doesn't happen. What like gets the snippet? You
Speaker 1: know there are surgeries to ensure. That sounds terrifying to
Speaker 1: meet Chuck. I don't know. Thank you, sir. Then I
Speaker 1: hope you hope you're swimmers under and you have an
Speaker 1: understanding they are. Yeah, I don't know. We we don't
Speaker 1: really talk, all right. Danne Pitts one of our old friends.
Speaker 1: As Titanic, we know how it ends. Why would I
Speaker 1: want to see it? Blah blah blah. Yeah, and she
Speaker 1: basically says, let's never watch any warm movie than or
Speaker 1: any movie based on his oracle event or read any
Speaker 1: history books, or appreciate anything when we know how it ends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. That's not a good reason to
Speaker 1: not see Titanic. And here's a question for you. Is
Speaker 1: it considered a spoiler if something is like a historical event,
Speaker 1: like if I say, John Wilkes booth kills Abraham Lincoln,
Speaker 1: is that a spoiler? Well, I mean if you're talking
Speaker 1: to an idiot, well put chuck. Oh, that's not a spoiler.
Speaker 1: Good lord. If people start calling people out on stuff
Speaker 1: like that, then I quit as a human. Agreed. And
Speaker 1: I can't find it in here. Oh where is it?
Speaker 1: There was a young lady and I can't find her comment.
Speaker 1: But she had a comment, and so I'm going to
Speaker 1: summarize it as such. Is that anyone who Poopoo's musicals
Speaker 1: period she hates because especially when they say things like, oh,
Speaker 1: people don't just break out in song like that? No,
Speaker 1: you think And she said, Hey, our action movies believable.
Speaker 1: She's like, if you can have your movies where people
Speaker 1: go around and shoot a thousand bullets from a single
Speaker 1: gun and fight a hundred people, She's like, my people
Speaker 1: can break out in song when science fiction we don't
Speaker 1: have the technology. Yeah, that that means we're like cut
Speaker 1: off from having space battles, you know, cut off from
Speaker 1: space battles. It's no good see. And my thing too
Speaker 1: is that's another example of I think you just don't
Speaker 1: get it because there's something magical about really great musicals,
Speaker 1: Like I could see not liking music. I could see
Speaker 1: you not liking it. This whole like it's not realistic,
Speaker 1: that's absurd, it's dumb. And then that's what a musical is, Chuck.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the new season of documentary Now, No,
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. They do one what's I don't I think
Speaker 1: it's three or four, three or four, But there's one
Speaker 1: that does a send up of Sondheim musicals. And the
Speaker 1: whole joke with Sondheim musicals is just rapid fire like words.
Speaker 1: You can't catch your breath, you know. And John Mulaney
Speaker 1: wrote it like it's a musical and it's called co
Speaker 1: Op and it's about like living in a co op apartment,
Speaker 1: like in New York City, and it's just like that,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's the funniest and most accurate. It's
Speaker 1: like it's meant to be like a live cast recording
Speaker 1: of it, and it's so good. Yeah. God, he's funny too,
Speaker 1: so funny, man. I can't recommend it highly enough. Bill Hater,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you one day, Oh for sure, I love that.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna close it out here. On this
Speaker 1: segment with Heidi Lauman says I loved Monsoon Wedding and
Speaker 1: a friend called it awful. I suppose I took her
Speaker 1: opinion as an affront to my impeccable taste in films. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I think that's one of the things that
Speaker 1: bothers people. Sometimes it's for me. It's on two levels.
Speaker 1: It's geez, how do you How can you call that
Speaker 1: movie bad? Gets an insult to everyone who works so
Speaker 1: hard on it, And you're also making a comment about
Speaker 1: my taste, And my taste is the best taste. That's
Speaker 1: what everyone thinks. Everyone thinks you have a good taste.
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Yeah, it's like opinions everyone. My
Speaker 1: opinions are like, never mind, forget it. Yes, I did
Speaker 1: know that, Chuck, I did. All right, we're gonna wrap
Speaker 1: this one up with a quick stream this Noel I,
Speaker 1: my wife and I have been watching Fleabag Good Things.
Speaker 1: It's great. So um many people are away in the
Speaker 1: know on this and a lot of people are like,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. This Light Catastrophe is another
Speaker 1: BBC show that Amazon Prime has picked up, and it
Speaker 1: is the story of a of a young woman in
Speaker 1: London who I say young woman. I think she's in
Speaker 1: her early thirties. That's young to me, might be old
Speaker 1: to some people, but uh, she is um sort of
Speaker 1: known as as Fleabag, I guess uh. And it's Stars
Speaker 1: and the Create and it's created by a young woman
Speaker 1: named Phoebe waller Bridge, and it's just great. She does
Speaker 1: this thing where she breaks the fourth wall. Ums sort
Speaker 1: of like The Office, but it's not a documentary. It's
Speaker 1: not a documentary. It's so it's really not like The
Speaker 1: Office is like a magical realism directly to yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: Like she'll be in a scene with someone else and
Speaker 1: look at the camera and say something that they don't hear,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But that's just you know,
Speaker 1: one part of the show. It's but it's a it's
Speaker 1: a show about this woman in London and the complications
Speaker 1: of her relationships with her family and her sister, and
Speaker 1: her father and stepmother and all the various men that
Speaker 1: she um dates and beds for various reasons. And there's
Speaker 1: this under story. Um well you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Even can tell you the understory except that she has
Speaker 1: lost a friend and that's sort of why she's in
Speaker 1: this spiral. But it's very funny and also one of
Speaker 1: these shows, it's very touching and heartfelt and just rerecks
Speaker 1: you in some scenes. Uh. And you know who else
Speaker 1: is in it, Our old pal, Brett Gellman. I love
Speaker 1: Brett Gelman. And once again Gelman plays one of the
Speaker 1: great creeps. He yells a lot too. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: great great creep in the show as well. He's fantastic. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Highly recommend Fleabag. I believe there are two seasons out.
Speaker 1: We just finished um season one and we're gonna start
Speaker 1: on season two tonight, just because it's like the Brits,
Speaker 1: six episodes in and out, thirty minutes each, very bengeable.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the new Black Mirror episodes yet? I
Speaker 1: have not. They're good, I haven't seen. I think I
Speaker 1: only saw like the first season and a half or
Speaker 1: so a Black Mirror, So I'm just like, yeah, this one.
Speaker 1: They only dropped three episodes, but they're each practically feature length,
Speaker 1: maybe a little less, but interesting. They're like an hour
Speaker 1: ten something like that. He's, Um, Miley Cyrus is in
Speaker 1: one of them, and she's excellent, and I just think
Speaker 1: they're really good. You know what. One of my dirty
Speaker 1: secrets is I kind of like Miley Cyrus. I like
Speaker 1: her to I don't know much about her music, but um,
Speaker 1: when she says things, I tend to think, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of agree. I think she's awesome. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a fan. All Right, we're out everyone, We're Miley, Miley. Uh,
Speaker 1: do you got anything else, buddy? Now? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: We're at a healthy It seems like it's been longer
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, let's go ahead and get out of here.
