Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to movie Crush Mini Crush. Hello. That's
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm doing well, man, doing pretty well.
Speaker 1: How about you? I'm doing great, as you know, a
Speaker 1: little under the gun. Under the gun. So we got
Speaker 1: to record this thing so I can go to the airport.
Speaker 1: So geez, let's get right to it. So to chit chatting.
Speaker 1: We got a new segment. Oh boy, it's called all
Speaker 1: right shopping. So no, a little bit like almost famous
Speaker 1: where actors had been turned on movies, um that went
Speaker 1: on to be very iconic roles. This is uh this
Speaker 1: directors who turned down jobs, and some directors are very
Speaker 1: famous for turning down a lot of great movies, you know,
Speaker 1: because a lot comes their way. Alfred Hitchcock turned down
Speaker 1: The Exorcist, he turned down Rosemary's Baby, he turned down
Speaker 1: Wait until Dark, and he turned down whatever happened to
Speaker 1: Baby Jane. Interesting. It makes sense though, because he's sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, he's sort of the originator of that vibe
Speaker 1: with like psycho and stuff. I could see them wanting
Speaker 1: to him to be their first pick for absolutely Exorcist.
Speaker 1: But I think you would have gone as far as
Speaker 1: freed can would have. But we'll never know. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: an interesting proposition. David Fincher. He turns down a lot
Speaker 1: of work because you know, a lot of these directors
Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want, so a lot of
Speaker 1: movies come their way. But he turned down The Black Dahlia.
Speaker 1: He turned down the documentary Madonna, Truth or Dare. Uh.
Speaker 1: He was gonna direct and then dropped out. He directed
Speaker 1: a lot of Madonna videos, well, so that makes sense.
Speaker 1: He did Vogue, I Believe and Maybe Express Yourself. Interesting. Uh.
Speaker 1: He turned on Mission Impossible three, dropped out over creative differences.
Speaker 1: He was going to direct Catch Me If you Can uh,
Speaker 1: and instead directed Panic Room. Yeah. A lesser Fincher though.
Speaker 1: Panic Room, yeah for sure, but not not a bad movie. Uh,
Speaker 1: Batman begins. He turned that down to direct another film,
Speaker 1: Eight Millimeter. He turned down Remember that one. I loved
Speaker 1: eight Millimeter. Really it's so trashy, but it's it's it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's about the snuff industry, like you know, bondage,
Speaker 1: but well, yeah, it's it's I enjoy it. He turned
Speaker 1: that down to direct Fight Club, So good career choice there,
Speaker 1: and then he turned down the movie Collateral, the Michael
Speaker 1: Mann movie with Tom Cruise and Jamie Fox was good.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like an assassin. It was good. And
Speaker 1: you'll you'll see a thread here popping up the great
Speaker 1: Martin Scorsese. The movie Clockers, Spike Lee ultimately directed, he
Speaker 1: turned down, He signed on, but dropped out to do Casino. Well,
Speaker 1: that's clearly the right choice. Yeah. He also turned down
Speaker 1: Collaterals two. Oh wow, let's just keep track here. Interesting
Speaker 1: he turned down Schindler's List. Very interestingly. He turned down
Speaker 1: the offer because he felt that a Jewish director should
Speaker 1: take that job. I would have thought that was Spielberg
Speaker 1: from Soup to Nuts. Yeah, like his baby. I would
Speaker 1: have thought that. But that's interesting. That's wow. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so very uh. I mean this just goes to show
Speaker 1: you too. Sometimes these movies are percolating around Hollywood for years,
Speaker 1: passed around. Uh, Spielberg speaking of he was gonna direct
Speaker 1: Big and he actually wanted Harrison Ford to start on
Speaker 1: the lead role. But when they went in another direction,
Speaker 1: he turned down Collateral got it. I feel bad now
Speaker 1: because people thought this was hot shit script Michael Man like,
Speaker 1: was he the fourth choice? Yeah, it must have been.
Speaker 1: And those are just the people I saw. I don't
Speaker 1: know how far down he goes on the list. That's
Speaker 1: Michael Man. Yeah he did. What did he do? What's
Speaker 1: what's he known for? Uh? Well? Heat? Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: original Man and Hunter movie. I thought, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1: I love that Man Hunter movie. That one's good. Heat
Speaker 1: is also, I watched that recently, Michael. Yeah, Heat is
Speaker 1: just an epically good movie. Yeah. One of the great
Speaker 1: crime movies of all time, The Curious Case of Benjamin
Speaker 1: button Um. Apparently, according to IMDb, he was attached to
Speaker 1: the film in the nineties and it was gonna have
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise aging backwards Spielberg. Spielberg turned it down. You know,
Speaker 1: it seems like more of a Spielberg movie than a
Speaker 1: That's a Fincher, right, Yeah, weird choice for a Fincher.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that movie. I did not care for
Speaker 1: that movie. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. He was
Speaker 1: considered to direct the whole series, but apparently J. K. Rowling,
Speaker 1: uh I didn't want to lose control of of the franchise,
Speaker 1: and she thought Spielberg like, it's all over. Well, they
Speaker 1: parsed it out to a bunch of different directors like
Speaker 1: Chris Columbus. I think directed the first two of Home
Speaker 1: Alone Fame, and then then there were a couple of
Speaker 1: interesting prestige directors like that. Alfonso Koran did one of them. Yea,
Speaker 1: but just the one, the kind of darker one. I'm
Speaker 1: not I didn't see the last two. I think they
Speaker 1: get pretty ark. See, I knew you were a big fan.
Speaker 1: I'm not, man, I dropped off. I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: last like two or three. I really don't care about
Speaker 1: the movie. It's it's in the zeitgeist. Man. I I
Speaker 1: you have a daughter. I have a daughter. She doesn't
Speaker 1: like it either. She does not like it. She doesn't
Speaker 1: it's not like her thing. And I think you guys
Speaker 1: need to really dig into an unpack white how you
Speaker 1: feel about Harry Potter. This is all your narrative here
Speaker 1: at Chuck. I don't know where this is coming from.
Speaker 1: This thing we created Last Action Hero, Spielberg turned that
Speaker 1: down to Directionler's list. That was a ship movie, so
Speaker 1: uh yeah, rain Man. He backed out because he needed
Speaker 1: to start on Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade. How
Speaker 1: about that ye Meet the Parents. Apparently he was approached
Speaker 1: to direct that with Jim Carey as the lead. Ye,
Speaker 1: I'll think of him as he's got good physical comedy
Speaker 1: stuff in the movies, but he's not a comedy director
Speaker 1: exactly right, Like, no, not not in that way. That
Speaker 1: would have been an odd choice. It would have been like,
Speaker 1: I want to try this comedy. Yeah, yeah, that a
Speaker 1: movie for sure. And then finally we're going to finish
Speaker 1: up with a great Terry Gilliam with take this job
Speaker 1: and shove it. He uh turned down some pretty good movies.
Speaker 1: American Beauty, turned down interesting, a movie called Enemy Mine
Speaker 1: that I remember growing up. It was a sci fi
Speaker 1: masin alien on the cover, that's all I remember. Yeah,
Speaker 1: lucas a junior plays an alien Forrest Gump through Terry
Speaker 1: Terry Gilliam's eyes. It would have been interesting. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: most of these I'm just like, what would Terry Gillham
Speaker 1: have done? Yeah, yeah, very much. He's he's his own thing,
Speaker 1: kind of who framed Roger Rabbit? Yeah? Alien Insurrection apparently
Speaker 1: the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Alien Resurrection Maybe
Speaker 1: would I say insurrection resurrection in insurrection? This is another
Speaker 1: one of those room this This is like the Mandala effect.
Speaker 1: That's right. Alien Resurrection there should be an Alien insurrection.
Speaker 1: I think Fincher directed Alien Resurrection. That's the one alien
Speaker 1: movie that he directs. Funny, it seems like there was
Speaker 1: for a time. They probably still are just like eight people.
Speaker 1: They're all my favorites. They mean, like they growing up
Speaker 1: like Fincher and Gilliam, like and um, you know, Spike
Speaker 1: Jones and Michelle Gandry were like my, my guys. Have
Speaker 1: you seen the preview for the new Showtime series that
Speaker 1: Michelle gandr is doing? What? No, dude, just look at
Speaker 1: the trailer. It's called Kidding. It looks great. I do
Speaker 1: want to say one thing about Gilliam. He's been trying
Speaker 1: to make this Don quixotea movie forever, didn't he have?
Speaker 1: But then he lost the rights. Shut up, yea. He
Speaker 1: lost the right to the last minute, like the production
Speaker 1: company that owned it. He apparently, in a weird, unprecedented move,
Speaker 1: he went ahead and made the movie even though he
Speaker 1: didn't have the rights. So it's gonna it's dead now.
Speaker 1: I think of that. That's what I read. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's made. Yeah, it's got Kylo Ren in it, and uh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, such a like like I think he
Speaker 1: needs to just they made a documentary about him trying
Speaker 1: to make that. Yeah, it's called Lost in La Mansha.
Speaker 1: It's really really good. I haven't seen that one. I
Speaker 1: needed check that out. All Right, we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: a trope time segment. Tropes keep coming in. Um, we'll
Speaker 1: start with David Gooch, he said, not necessarily the Gooch,
Speaker 1: not necessarily trope. But coffee cups are clearly always empty. Uh,
Speaker 1: maybe not a quite a trope, but I definitely agree
Speaker 1: with him there. You mean in terms of like the
Speaker 1: weight of it. Yeah, like coffee cups and like suitcases,
Speaker 1: it's always clearly empty. There's definitely I've seen a video
Speaker 1: where it's it's mostly from TV where they show people
Speaker 1: slinging around a coffee cup and it's just very clearly
Speaker 1: got no hath to it at all. Like there's a
Speaker 1: there's a YouTube compilation of that, so that that's certainly
Speaker 1: a thing. Yeah, for sure. You know, I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: one off Facebook real quick because this is a live one,
Speaker 1: because I saw this one just earlier that I thought
Speaker 1: was a pretty good one. Uh. This is from sigh low. Uh.
Speaker 1: I call it the Hollywood rap when gift boxes always
Speaker 1: have the lids wrapped separately so the actor can just
Speaker 1: pop off the box and not tear into gift wrapping.
Speaker 1: That is a total trope, is no, nobody, nobody, because
Speaker 1: part of the fun is tearing into that gift wrapp
Speaker 1: is you know, um let me see here. Uh. Lee
Speaker 1: Dallas says the I'm in trope when a fourteen year
Speaker 1: old hack gets into a multimillion dollar computer system and
Speaker 1: under thirty seconds I'm in. It's like, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in. It's so great. That's a total trope. Uh.
Speaker 1: And a lot of these tropes are about just cutting
Speaker 1: to the chase. You let me see. Benjamin Johnston says
Speaker 1: the action chascene running, driving, riding a horse so fast,
Speaker 1: but wait there's a cliff. Yeah, that's pretty good. I
Speaker 1: thought of one to day. Actually my daughter pointed it out. Um,
Speaker 1: it was raining and there was a big giant puddle
Speaker 1: and I drove through it and she said, good thing,
Speaker 1: no one was walking there, she said, but that only
Speaker 1: happens in the movies. Someone's having a bad day, and
Speaker 1: then adding insult to injury, a car drives by and
Speaker 1: trenches them in a torrent of water. Could just take
Speaker 1: it any Oh, it did. That's funny, and just the
Speaker 1: wet down period like all movies. You know, all streets
Speaker 1: are wet movies because they call it the wet down.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know this and you start paying attention,
Speaker 1: you wonder did it just rain? And every movie I've
Speaker 1: ever seen, especially at night, they do this because it
Speaker 1: looks better at night. But I'm sure it makes it
Speaker 1: more reflective and makes it where you can see. And
Speaker 1: on every single movie there are water trucks that drive
Speaker 1: down the road and these sprinklers go off, and they
Speaker 1: call it the wet down, and they do it before
Speaker 1: they shoot every single scene. I did not know that.
Speaker 1: That makes perfect sense. Yeah. The only person that very
Speaker 1: famously does not do that very purposefully is Alexander Payne.
Speaker 1: He is very adamant about his movies looking like movies,
Speaker 1: and he insists on two things, which is which are
Speaker 1: dry streets and dirty cars. If you ever look at
Speaker 1: one of his movies, like the windshield will be dirty,
Speaker 1: and that's just like a no, no, you don't do
Speaker 1: that in movies. You like, clean that wind shield right
Speaker 1: before you shoot. But Alexander Paine is like, no, it's
Speaker 1: not real. Love, I like that too, um Bill Steele.
Speaker 1: Every building has a ventilation system a grown person can
Speaker 1: fit through, but in real life they could barely fit
Speaker 1: a toddler. Bill says that as if he's done that
Speaker 1: like stuff to toddler kind of okay, Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: gotta get it. You gotta have a toddler on your
Speaker 1: crew if you're if you're pulling off a heist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good one build. Then you're totally right, uh Kayla.
Speaker 1: Marie Carbone, great name. In romantic comedies, there's always a
Speaker 1: declaration of love. First kiss in the rain. Why is
Speaker 1: it always raining, Well, because it's more dramatic to have
Speaker 1: a kiss in the rains. The wet down, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is the wet down. Uh let me see here. Achimi Yamaguchi,
Speaker 1: great name. The shortcut to the airport. How do these
Speaker 1: people always know about a shortcut that no one else
Speaker 1: is aware of and they only use the shortcut when
Speaker 1: they need to chase someone down? James Kinnett un clipping
Speaker 1: the push stud on a holster when getting ready for
Speaker 1: a gunfight. Yeah, but then putting the gun away and
Speaker 1: never securing the gun back in. Well, you know, there
Speaker 1: might there might that there might be another gunfight coming up.
Speaker 1: That's true. It's a good point, noll. The old double gunfight,
Speaker 1: the old double gun fight. Hey, one good gun fight
Speaker 1: deserves another. Uh. Let me see, Tammy Mitchell. Uh. The
Speaker 1: woman who was suddenly vomiting always pregnant, or two people
Speaker 1: who hate each other end up loving each other. Yeah, Tammy,
Speaker 1: those are two tropes for sure, and I'll add one
Speaker 1: to the woman vomiting meaning she's pregnant. The uh the
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the movie means they have the consumption.
Speaker 1: It means they're gonna die. Like nobody colls in a
Speaker 1: movie unless they're gonna die, not to mention. If it's
Speaker 1: like you know, seventeen hundred set movie and they're coughing
Speaker 1: into a rag and away, that's a little bit of blood.
Speaker 1: Total trop Uh Yeah, I mean no one that bugs
Speaker 1: me a little bit too, Like no one calls her
Speaker 1: sneezes and movies ever, it's just a thing. I guess
Speaker 1: you don't want to see people sneeze. I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: To do with the vomiting thing, they usually also have
Speaker 1: it happened at a moment for dramatic effect where they're
Speaker 1: in heated argument or something and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden she runs in pukes, and then it's like comes
Speaker 1: in back and immediately knows she's pregnant. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: right away pregnant again. Time savers Sean Leech is the
Speaker 1: person being pulled up and out of the way of
Speaker 1: an oncoming object at the very last second. That's a
Speaker 1: total trope. And I'm also gonna go with this the
Speaker 1: the car or the run away when something is falling,
Speaker 1: like a smoke stack or a tree or anything. Instead
Speaker 1: of turning right or left and getting out of the
Speaker 1: path of the falling thing, they just try and straightly
Speaker 1: outrun it. In the direct past, yeah, there's that that
Speaker 1: that really silly moment in Prometheus, the Alien prequel or whatever,
Speaker 1: where there's a ship that's a circle. It's a giant
Speaker 1: rain like a hula hoop, and it's rolling and she
Speaker 1: kind of runs away from it instead of just stepping
Speaker 1: to the side. It's literally a hoop shaped chip that's
Speaker 1: rolling at her. It's like, Harry, you know, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a total trope, all right, and we're gonna finish up
Speaker 1: trope time this week. These are great everyone with Michelle
Speaker 1: uh Apola, Tigi Apolotic we Michelle Michelle Apola tagu lovely
Speaker 1: beautiful name. I know I'm getting that wrong, so Michelle,
Speaker 1: please tell me how to pronounce that in the future.
Speaker 1: Water breaking going into labor when about ten percent of
Speaker 1: woman's water breaks even on its own, it's a timesaver
Speaker 1: and easy exposition, but it's been pretty detrimental to many
Speaker 1: of our society's understanding of how labor works. That's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, you would think that of the time women
Speaker 1: have babies. It's like my water broke everywhere. It's funny
Speaker 1: you say that. The coworker of ours, who I will
Speaker 1: remain named um, just had a lovely baby and in
Speaker 1: the office Emailly sent out talking about you know, when
Speaker 1: it happened. He said, his wife's water broke, and then
Speaker 1: parenthesis wrote in quite dramatic fashion style, exactly, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, that is interesting, all right, So that's trope time.
Speaker 1: Keep them coming, everyone. We're gonna move on to stream
Speaker 1: this and comment card. And I could have sworn I
Speaker 1: already picked this for stream this, but I went back
Speaker 1: through the stats compiled by Jill Hurley and the gang,
Speaker 1: and I didn't see it. Maybe I just talked about
Speaker 1: it briefly, but This is something I watched the last
Speaker 1: late last year. Uh, the Spike Lee's reboot of She's
Speaker 1: Got to Have It. Did I talk about this? You
Speaker 1: just you've talked about that, you liked it? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm officially putting it in the stream this section because
Speaker 1: it is so great. It's based on the movie from
Speaker 1: and the same name. When I saw that She's Got
Speaker 1: to Have It was being rebooted as a TV show,
Speaker 1: I thought why, why, why bother? And then I watched
Speaker 1: it and it is great. It is really really awesome. Uh.
Speaker 1: Ten thirty minute episodes with Dewonda Wise is Nola Darling.
Speaker 1: She is phenomenal. Uh. Anthony Ramos from from Hamilton's Mars
Speaker 1: Blackman and especially I thought who could play Mars Blackman
Speaker 1: but Spike Lee. But Anthony Ramos brings his own Mars
Speaker 1: Blackman to the table and it's great. And he you know,
Speaker 1: he he does a couple of a little like please, baby, Please,
Speaker 1: baby please. He does a couple of the old Mars
Speaker 1: black Man lines, but he makes it his own yet
Speaker 1: it's still the same and in a way that's like,
Speaker 1: it's really really great. Uh. Lyric Bent is Jamie Overstreet
Speaker 1: and Cleo Anthony as a greer child. Uh. And if
Speaker 1: you don't know about the original movie or the show,
Speaker 1: it's a story of a young African American woman who
Speaker 1: has got three boyfriends and she doesn't want to choose
Speaker 1: between them. They all do something different for her. One
Speaker 1: is very stable and has money and as uh ambitious.
Speaker 1: One is silly and fun that's Mars, and one is
Speaker 1: a model and super handsome. Uh. And she's very frank
Speaker 1: about her sexuality. All the guys know she's not cheating
Speaker 1: on them. They all know about each other. And that's
Speaker 1: one of the great parts in the movies. All the
Speaker 1: guys at one point get together and they she brings
Speaker 1: them in and they have a big dinner together to
Speaker 1: kind of go through this. But he manages, Spike Lee manages.
Speaker 1: He directed all the episodes to make this completely fresh
Speaker 1: and new for today's times. Took a movie from dusted
Speaker 1: it off. And I'm dying to know how this came
Speaker 1: about to begin with, uh, because it was a sort
Speaker 1: of a brave thing to do, I think, a risky
Speaker 1: thing to do. But it's of the time, it's fresh,
Speaker 1: it's current, it's funny, it's well acted, it's the direction
Speaker 1: is great, and I thought it was a one off
Speaker 1: in an Emily and I were really disappointed, but I
Speaker 1: saw that earlier this year was picked up for a
Speaker 1: season two, So it is it works for that, like
Speaker 1: they can just extend that world or is it that
Speaker 1: contain story that's sort of in the movie or does
Speaker 1: it go beyond that? It's contained, But it's it. They
Speaker 1: could totally do more, and I'm glad they are. It's
Speaker 1: really really great. It sounds like it's a good ensemble opportunity, right,
Speaker 1: you could have different stories with these characters and acting.
Speaker 1: That sounds I'm interested to see where it goes. To
Speaker 1: wonder why is it just so great. I've never heard
Speaker 1: of her before, and she's just beautiful and so talented,
Speaker 1: and uh, it's good. I got a big fat crush
Speaker 1: on her right now, so does Emily. We agree on
Speaker 1: that one. Uh. And then finally comic cardinal questions from
Speaker 1: you all to us. We'll go through a few of these,
Speaker 1: and then I got high tail it out of here. Everyone.
Speaker 1: Um let me see here, all right? Who was your
Speaker 1: most revered film crew regular from throughout the history of cinema?
Speaker 1: He said, For example, costumer Edith Head Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the great Roger Deakins. I was
Speaker 1: going to do that. Yeah, that's easy. It makes it easy. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it then. Now he's just that, he's
Speaker 1: done everything and as he's just visually responsible for some
Speaker 1: of the greatest movies of of our time. And you know,
Speaker 1: he's just fantastic cinematographer and you can just see his
Speaker 1: fingerprints on so many iconic movies. He doesn't have just
Speaker 1: one style or one look. He's very adaptable and that's
Speaker 1: just such a crucial you know, crew member in general,
Speaker 1: and he's one of the best versions of that. And
Speaker 1: he finally won his Oscar I think for the for
Speaker 1: Blade Runner eight. Yeah, way overdue, like he was. I
Speaker 1: think they gave it. I mean he deserved it for
Speaker 1: that for sure, but I think the outcry was so
Speaker 1: great by this point. Uh just ticking through some of
Speaker 1: his his movies here, Barton Fink, shawsh Ink, Redemption, Fargo.
Speaker 1: He worked a lot with the Cohen brothers, obviously, Uh
Speaker 1: Kuon done a brother, Where aren't they all? The man
Speaker 1: who wasn't there No Country for Old Men? Revolutionary Road,
Speaker 1: The Reader, Skyfall, jar Head Ah, of course, you just
Speaker 1: said the New Blade Runner. Uh, just amazing. He's even
Speaker 1: made some documentaries. He did one on Van Morrison and
Speaker 1: one on Carl Perkins. So hats off to you, Roger Deakins.
Speaker 1: He's even had some smaller movies like You're You're forget
Speaker 1: the director, but it's when you highlighted the Passion Fish.
Speaker 1: He did that one as well. Oh really, John Sayles, Wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: Roger Deakins, you know you're gonna get a gorgeous looking film.
Speaker 1: Good question from Howard Carson. Uh, let me see here.
Speaker 1: Alex Glasnovic says, what movies have your favorite favorite supplements,
Speaker 1: commentaries or special features on their blue ray? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't do the blue ray, and like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't do this much anymore, but I used to
Speaker 1: really get into this. So my pick is going to
Speaker 1: be an old one. But um, Boogie Nights has a
Speaker 1: very very great direct your commentary if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: and it's always good. It's like a masterclass to sit
Speaker 1: in and hear pt Anderson talk about making a movie.
Speaker 1: So that that's my pick. Do you have one no
Speaker 1: director's commentary or actor's commentary that stands out? I'm just
Speaker 1: so out of the loop with those. I haven't really
Speaker 1: messed with any in quite a long time, so I
Speaker 1: can't even when one doesn't come to mind. Yeah, in
Speaker 1: the same way, I missed that stuff. But it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to watch a movie and then rewatch it again
Speaker 1: with a commentary on these days. I can't believe he
Speaker 1: used to have that much time in my life. Must
Speaker 1: have been nice. Uh, let me see, Kayla. M h
Speaker 1: What is your least favorite genre? M hmmm. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I have a least favorite genre. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe the rom com because so many of them are
Speaker 1: not very good. This I guess my answer. But if
Speaker 1: it's a good rom comma, I love it, it's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But but typically you're gonna have to win me over
Speaker 1: because because even when people call it a rom com,
Speaker 1: it's almost like the fact that you're giving it that
Speaker 1: distinction implies something of a lack of quality, like a
Speaker 1: lesser film, like like a guilty pleasure kind of film. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I guess rom com for me, same for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's an easy one to go to, yeah,
Speaker 1: because so many of the other genres. It's just like
Speaker 1: there's a good ship and and and all of them.
Speaker 1: If we're talking sci fi, horror, comedy, drama, is that
Speaker 1: what we're talking about? Documentary? I guess I don't know. Thriller, thriller,
Speaker 1: action adventure. I'm gonna say action adventure if if we're
Speaker 1: gonna like, you know, other than rom com, A straight
Speaker 1: action adventure to me is not always interesting. I don't
Speaker 1: seek them out. Good answer. I don't have an answer
Speaker 1: for this, Noe, but you might Anthony Norris's did you
Speaker 1: ever have a test movie for people that you dated
Speaker 1: or want to to date, Like, well, let's see if
Speaker 1: they like this, because it'll tell me a lot about them.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have one of those? I mean, just
Speaker 1: any everything you like, every every everything I like. It
Speaker 1: has to tick all the boxes. No. I did hit
Speaker 1: it off with a girl once because we both liked
Speaker 1: um the Talking Heads movie True Stories, and that was
Speaker 1: an odd one because it's strange and a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't even know it exists, and it's got a
Speaker 1: very odd sensibility. It's a lot of David Byrne kind
Speaker 1: of stream of consciousness talking and just weird suburbia stuff.
Speaker 1: Umb I can't remember, but John Goodman's got a weird
Speaker 1: little part and didn't remember that. But yeah, that that
Speaker 1: that was one. That all right. She passed the test,
Speaker 1: but apparently I passed the test for her too, because
Speaker 1: it was also like a favorite movie of hers, and
Speaker 1: it ended up being this like cool little cross test thing.
Speaker 1: Do you know what movie was? It was True Stories?
Speaker 1: Oh that was her test was hard. We were both
Speaker 1: kind of testing each other. There was another movie, so
Speaker 1: it was just like we both liked it and were
Speaker 1: surprised that each other not only about it but also
Speaker 1: liked it. Good one, Kate Jacobsen, what's a reboot that
Speaker 1: should never happen? Good question, Kate. There's plenty, but I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead and throw out the Godfather series
Speaker 1: right off the bat. There's just some movies you can't remake.
Speaker 1: I don't know that Hollywood, as as awful and money
Speaker 1: grabby as Hollywood is, I don't know they would ever
Speaker 1: allow that to happen. I think you're right, but then
Speaker 1: you never know it's happened before. When I've been like,
Speaker 1: what maybe they do the Godfather for the Godfather four?
Speaker 1: We could? Yeah, yeah, you gotta wonder two, like, does
Speaker 1: he own the rights to that property in some way?
Speaker 1: Would he have to have final say. It's just to
Speaker 1: whether they could do that, because it seems like, I mean,
Speaker 1: Paramount Pictures probably owns the rights to that, but he
Speaker 1: may have some juice. Can it? Can a director be
Speaker 1: tied to that property in such a way where like
Speaker 1: you can't really go forward with it without him? I
Speaker 1: I wonder it seems like from the very beginning he
Speaker 1: had such pull that maybe he was able to smartly
Speaker 1: get that kind of deal. Yeah. I but you're right,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's that's comic card. Thanks for your
Speaker 1: questions everyone. Yeah, one last thing, I just want to say,
Speaker 1: you're getting shredded a little bit on Facebook for not
Speaker 1: liking Castaway. Uh well, getting getting healthily roasted, even naturedly roasted.
Speaker 1: I didn't dislike Castaway. I thought it could have been
Speaker 1: a much stronger film. Yeah. I know there's people that
Speaker 1: are that are that are giving you props and saying
Speaker 1: that had you had a good point about how it
Speaker 1: should have started a little later in. But then there's
Speaker 1: some people like Nope, Wilson, the volleyball was a crucial
Speaker 1: character and you, sir, are wrong. But I still love you.
Speaker 1: I can take it. I can take it. Your homework
Speaker 1: is let me look here it scribbled down. Uh, your
Speaker 1: homework is, oh great. The movie get Out. Remember this
Speaker 1: is a long time ago. I had David Diggs of
Speaker 1: Hamilton's my first Tony winner, David Diggs and his best
Speaker 1: friend growing up, Raphael Kassal. They teamed up, like I said,
Speaker 1: old high school friends too from Oakland to write a
Speaker 1: movie together called blind Spotting, and I held off on
Speaker 1: the release. I interviewed them quite a while ago, but
Speaker 1: held held off on the release to a line with
Speaker 1: this movie blind Spotting, it's really really good. It's very
Speaker 1: timely movie um about um, race and class. Uh, set
Speaker 1: against the backdrop of a gentrifying Oakland, like I said,
Speaker 1: their hometown. It's a really really good movie. And the guys,
Speaker 1: we're just so cool and nice and just sweetheart dudes.
Speaker 1: Uh DV Digs. It was great to meet both of them.
Speaker 1: So we talked a lot about their movie and filmmaking
Speaker 1: and Hamilton's UM, but we did talk about get Out. Uh.
Speaker 1: They agreed that they could both talk about that movie.
Speaker 1: Instant classic. Yeah, So watch get Out and listen up
Speaker 1: this Friday and we will see you next week. Later
