<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles. I am Tess Lynch and with me

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>is Molly Lambert, and we have no Emily because she

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is on a fancy vacation. So we are going to

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>be talking about Little Shop of Horrors, the six film,

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.639
<v Speaker 1>and also just whatever we feel like. Sorry, Emily, it's

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a cool jazz pod. It's cool jazz paw. It's okay.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Emily is going to bring back the techno beats from

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Berlin for a techno pod. Today, we're gonna talk about

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>home Alone, Little Shop of Horrors as another part of

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>our eighties Terrifying Puppet Movies for Children December. I've been

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>wondering if we should even extend this series into temporary

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I've really been enjoying doing it. We'd love

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to know what Night Call listeners think about our horrifying

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>eighties puppet Movies for Children December. If you think we

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 1>should do terrifying nineties puppet movies for children I mean,

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>we could lean into horror, we could do we could

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>just I guess we've already kind of done. You've got

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.360

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to do this at the top. We

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>would love if you would rate, review and subscribe because

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>it feels so nice. Yeah, as we wind down this year,

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>we're very grateful for all of our Night Call listeners

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and for for all of your night calls especially. Oh yeah,

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be taking some of those later in the show,

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in particular, one from a very special caller, the most

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>special color. Well, we also had a call from another

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>special color. We have lots of special collars, a very

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>special color to be to be announced. But first we're

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about a little journey. I took to a

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>land far far away, folks. I'm talking about Star Wars Land.

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, you're talking alone Galaxy's Edge. Well, there's also

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of a Star Wars crawl. At the beginning of

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Little Shop of Horse. I went to Disneyland for the

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>first time in a year, I guess. And in that

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>year they finished and opened Star Wars Land Galaxy's Edge,

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and I felt like I wanted to review it on

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this podcast because it seems like something. Testart to ask

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>me about it before we were recording, and I was like, no,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>we have to talk about it is fairly air. We

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>usually chat before we record, and then every single interesting

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes up or save it for the pod,

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>save it for the pod. Color like night talk show

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>hosts exactly, um setting each other for the pre interview.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm very curious. I'm waiting with bated breath. The spontaneity

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>is all uh fakes. Podcast is scripted. It is you

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>can tell you can tell it scripted to tell us

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>about Star Wars. Okay, so Star Wars Land Galaxy's Edge.

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really know that much about it because I'm

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>not a big Star Wars person. I'm obviously am a

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>theme park and Disneyland uh nerd, not like the biggest nerd.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>It turns out you're just a fan. I just like

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>themed areas and I like the idea. You know, I'm

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a postmodern nerd person from Los Angeles. Um, but Star

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Wars Land, I didn't really know what. I knew there

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>was only one ride in It's so Far and that

0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 1>it's mostly restaurants and just sort of atmosphere, but didn't

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>really know what the layout in terrain was actually like.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>So it turns out they decided to do it after

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a fictional Star Wars planet called Batu two A's I think, Um,

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.679
<v Speaker 1>I think this planet does appear, but only in Solo,

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>a Star Wars movie, which shows you when they were

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>conceptualizing this land before that movie did not do well

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>for them. Um, but it's not I guess where the

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>cantina is originally, but there is a cantina and did

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>you eat there? Yes? I did, but okay, So I

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>was like describing it to my boyfriend at home. I

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>was like, it's Moroccan themed, but it's also brutalist and

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like, uh, sort of falling apart city, like a

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a city in decline that is between places, sort of

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>like Casablanca, like a trading post. And also it's it's

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a trading post and like thieves and merriment planet subscription

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>says um. And he said it sounds like Interzone from

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Naked Lunch, And I was like, oh my god, You're

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>exactly right, that's exactly what it is, because Interzone and

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Naked Lunch is like the fictionalized Morocco that William Burrows

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>writes about where it is like a Moroccan marketplace, like

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>an open air marketplace. But also there's like bug aliens,

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly what Star Wars Land is. Are there,

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like the Star Wars bar, are the waiters and stuff

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>scary bug alien people? No, okay, okay, but there's a

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>there's an alien DJ who I guess is the former

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Star Tours robot. This this park is so weirdly conceived

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's like it's so fan service e to a

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>certain type of Star Wars nerd that it feels sort

0:05:55.040 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of completely alienating to anyone else. Yeah, it's like very chaotic,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>it's very like grown up it's stuff. It does not

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.679
<v Speaker 1>feel child friendly at all. Is that because they serve alcohol? Yeah,

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and so they know that they're like, this is for

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you alcohol in Pixar Peer in California Adventure that Yeah,

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like they st it isn't because the kids can also

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>go in the cantina, like the bar has non alcoholic drinks.

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>It's just like it's an interesting choice because it's like

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>they chose the dirty future, the like dystopian crumbling city future.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was telling you what we're telling you

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Emily about it, and she was like, sounds amazing. I'm

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>all in, sounds like something I would love, And I like,

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't dislike it. It was just like so different

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>from what I expected because I thought I was like,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought, like Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland is like the clean future.

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>And then Tomorrowland kind of got run down and that

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>was when it was the most interesting. Was it became

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the sort of most abandoned part of the park and

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that's where all the goths would hang out and like

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>chain smoke, so it had a kind of like towld

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like a nighttime kind of nefarious for Disneyland feel, you know,

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that's sort of like, oh, this is like danger zone, right,

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>like a real carnival, like a little sketchy in a

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>way that's like fun and exciting. Um that you're not

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>allowed to have a Disneyland, but this is like so weird.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>And another weird thing is they don't have any baby

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Yodas because they didn't plan, they didn't anticipate the baby

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Yoda rush, so there are people in a boardroom who

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>are just so upset with the execution of this. Well,

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like a whole story that they decided to like

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>like I think I just read that, like Donald Clover

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>like convinced Jon Favreau to do it by being like,

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>look at how Beyonce surprise drops albums, like you should

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>surprise drop Baby Yoda, and like if you start the merchandising,

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>people will know it's coming, I guess. But this was

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the wrong choice of because there's like, instead of selling

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 1>baby Yodas and like baby it is in Santa hats

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and like so many baby Yoda should be everywhere, there's

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>no baby Yoda. There's not even a regular Yoda really,

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and instead they're selling these like nightmarished dolls, what what

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of dolls, like of Star Wars creatures that I

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>do not recognize because they are so obscure. I'll show

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you one picture. There was one that was amazing because

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it was like a pork, which I do know what

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that is. That's from Last Jedi Uh and those are cute.

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Those are the old baby Yoda that they put in

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the trash compactor after the new Baby Yoda came out here.

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll showing you now at this photograph, So it's a pork,

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and then I don't know what the middle one is.

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 1>It's another like cutie pokemon. It's frowning. And then on

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the right there's like a butt hole with teeth and tentacle.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>It looks like a dog toy that's had better days.

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It also kind of looks like when you make a

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>bird feeder by taking a pine cone and rolling it

0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>in everything. It's like a room with teeth. And then

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>also all these like weird tentacles and it's like, is

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 1>that plush, It's not like rubber. And then there was

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>some other like weird just like weird random Star Wars

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>characters that looked like dark crystal style, just like I

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, these are probably some eighties you know, some

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>characters I don't know about. But even then I was

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>like that was a weird choice. I was like, why

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't you just be front loading with like e walks

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and like cutie things. It's very like spiky, which is

0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 1>not inhospitable. It's inhospitable, and it's like confusing. It's like

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it is very immersive in that you don't see any

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>of the rest of the park. And you just sort

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>of It's located um in Critter by Critter County. Do

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>you know where the Petting Zoo used to be over

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>by Splash Mountain? Yes, yes, Splash Mountain listened to Karina

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Longworth's Song of the South. You must remember this series

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>for more on Splash Mountain. Whole season now available. It's

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 1>over by yeah, where Splash Mountain and the Country Bear

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.959
<v Speaker 1>Jamboree used to be. Where the Country Bear Jamboree. Uh

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 1>lead over to Fantacy Land and there was like a

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>barbecue place with some so they knocked that down and

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 1>some office buildings in order to build Star Wars Land.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a gigantic but there's only one ride in it,

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and that ride it's like an updated Star Tours. It's

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>like Star Tours, but it's all like a video immersive

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 1>thing and also well it's also sort of like it's

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>like enders game. It's also like a military simulator kind

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of thing where you have to like shoot the guy

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole time, like buzz let your blasters or whatever. Um,

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>And that was my job. I was a gunner and

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>then I was like really good at it. I was like,

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>oh no, I have the killer instinct some too. Still

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>there Star Toars isn't Tomorrowland still Okay? But doesn't that

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>make it kind of redundant to have two of the

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>simulator games? I mean kind of they're opening and I

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>mean this is also like to get to the ride,

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you just walk down like a million sort of like

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 1>storage facility feeling weird tunnels that all have like fake

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 1>insulation coming out of them and fake like freed wires

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. You know, I like the Dirty Future, but

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>this made me be like, oh, I like Space Mountain

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>more than this Space Mountains the bomb still but wait,

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so are they is it still under construction? Well, they're

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>opening another ride. So they built this like giant fake

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>mountain ridge that is currently nothing, but they are turning

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it into a dark ride that is like a fifteen

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>minute long dark ride, like the longest dark ride they've

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>ever done. I think maybe Pirates of the Caribbean. It's

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>also about fifteen minutes. And uh they have it open

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 1>already in Orlando. Somebody, a friend of ours, Christina uh

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>friend of the night Call pod, went on it and

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>said it's really good. It has this like trackless uh

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>ride system that they use. Now that's just controlled by WiFi.

0:11:54.400 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>What could possibly minute ride is at? She said. The

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>best part of the ride is there's like a slight

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>saber comes at you from underneath through the floor. Spoiler

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>spoiler erase from Yeah, but you know, it's like this

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>giant It's also weird because it's just like a giant

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 1>mountain and they're like, soon this will be your ride.

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Now it is just a giant fake mountain mountain. Can't

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you see in some of the pictures you posted on

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Instagram it looked like there was almost like scaffolding or

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>something up for the ride or was that just that

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>was part of the future, that was part of Haunted Mansion. Okay,

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>because Haunted Mansion they're about to take off for a

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>couple months to like fix it, which I was also

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>thinking about a lot because of our puppets are decaying

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>puppets conversation and talking about how puppets need to have

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>their hair cut, because it gets like I can't stop

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 1>thinking about me too, and and thinking about how like

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>some of the attractions at Disneyland, you know, I haven't

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>been updated probably since the sixties or seventies, and so

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 1>but it is like it just reminds me of the

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>construction in l A right now so much where it's

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>like there's so much construction going on all the time

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that it's never not distracting because it's like something's always

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>down and they're always like, look at the new thing

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>we just build. Pay no attention to all the other

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 1>rides you want to go on that like aren't working anymore,

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>but we building. Um. I will also say the food

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>at the cantina is like the weirdest choice of I

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't really eat it because it was like a meat

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and cheese plate, but I can't describe what happened, but

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 1>it was like it's made to look like alien food.

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh, what does that mean? Like the thing that

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>you can order is like a meat and cheese pla.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>There's like one thing on the menu cantina and that's it,

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and then like a snack or like a cookie. There's

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like a weird So they're just like, you're only here

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>because this is the only place you can drink alcohol

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>in the park, and there's like you can I think

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you can drink alcohol and other parts of Star Wars

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Land you can just maybe buy it it stands, but

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the cantina has like a year long wait to get in. Yeah,

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's also just like a weird choice of

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.680
<v Speaker 1>things to have in a park. It's like an exclusive

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 1>thing that has a small capacity. Go back to how

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it's alien food. Okay, I mean, so are their legs

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>on the salami? No, but it's like instead of crackers,

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like a giant like shrimp chip kind of with

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>like green powder on it, and like the cheese is

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>all like brown or like a weird color you wouldn't expect,

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and like in a cube. It's just like something about

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it is like space food from the nineties. Yes, yeah,

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like it's like they would serve it

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 1>an American psycho exactly, like but in space like a

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 1>little like yeah, but you could also see that being

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a yuppy food trend of just like it's all the

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>meat is blue and green, right, but they don't eat

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>meat in the future or in space, I think. Yeah.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's also just weird because it's like what

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you want is like chicken fingers. You know, it's like

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to do something too weird. Which what if

0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:02.960
<v Speaker 1>they had gone vegan and have like weird experimental vegan food. Well,

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 1>they said they have some vegan food actually at one

0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of the other restaurants in Star wars Land, because you

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>think Star wars Land would be the place to have

0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>vegan food. Well, yeah, my friend knows all the vegan

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>things in Disneyland, and one of them is the Pineapple

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the doll Whip technically and technically vegan. But yeah, it's

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>just like it's it's strange, and it's like there's these

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 1>ambient animatronics. These are the best thing, for sure. There

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>are just sort of some like free floating animatronics in

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:33.000
<v Speaker 1>like the stores and the like main areas that you're

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>walking around, and they're all so scary that they're so

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>on brand for eighties Puppet Month because they're like specifically

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>like terrifying, like latex oh dear weird things. There's like

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 1>one thing in a store that looks like a hammerhead

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>shark with like a testicle that has like teeth in it. Yeah,

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, now eat your brown meat brown. She like

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's very strange. Um. There's like this guy I'm showing you,

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know his name, but there's like a little

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>frogman who's just in a tank. I'm ashamed. We don't

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>know this guy this guy. Really we should know this.

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>There's some like subtle animatronics. He's the frog chameleon, snail'st him.

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>He's my favorite. He's a cutie if you know the

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>name of the frog cutie boy I met podcast the ride. Well,

0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>now he's like a cutie frog boy with tentnacle little

0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>what are those antennae? I'm an idiot. Um and he

0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>uh he lives in a tank in the cantina, and

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the cantina also plays they only play Jeez music, which

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>is the type of music they have at at Disneyland.

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, here, look at this guy. I just

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 1>want you to see this one because this is what

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, who is this for? We will have

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to put oh oh dear right. So that's it looks

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 1>like a camel with a whale's mouth on its neck, yes,

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and but also another mouth will at all. But it's

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>also like silly putty color like if it was if

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it was green, it would be fine, but it's that

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:12.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of like that uncanny like silly putty flesh monster thing. Um.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So star wars five out of five stars. Um. Yeah,

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>there's one guy who turns a giant like tounton on

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a spit. That was another one where I was like,

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a child sees this, I have nightmares forever. I an

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>adults see this and still think it's nightmarish, and I'm like,

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>what who is this for? It's like not like cute

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>or enchanting or like magical provoking. There's also like it's

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>very fascist feeling because there's like a brutal brutalist but

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>there's all but brutalless isn't always fascist. I like brutalist.

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>This is like there's just like a giant flag hung

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>on some stuff. There's like hunk a junk, like a

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>millennium falcon and like a big spaceship that's like crashed

0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>into the floor or whatever. And then there's like yeah,

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.639
<v Speaker 1>but there's like a giant flag hungover one dough And

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>my friend was like, is that a Nazi flag? And

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, I don't know if it's resistance

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.959
<v Speaker 1>or Empire, but I'm guessing it's Empire because it just

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 1>look it does look like a Nazi logo because it's

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a red flag with like the black sun on it basically,

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>which is a Nazi logo. It's like an asterisk with

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 1>a million points, you know, and it's just like on

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>this giant concrete dome and it's pretty pretty intense yis um.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.239
<v Speaker 1>And then there's like stormtroopers walking around. The Stormtrooper And

0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 1>when I last went to Disneyland and there were Stormtroopers there,

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of children were crying at the stormtroopers. Some

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>children love the Stormtroop devices. Friend Ian's kid loves the

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Stormtroopers and was really into the shirt that had all

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Stormtrooper faces that are the same and it's like the

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>many emotions Stormtroopers and it's like sad, happy, and he

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.159
<v Speaker 1>kept being like, look at my shirt, isn't it funny?

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 1>But they cater to that too in a weird way

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>where they do kind of cater to like, hey, if

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you like the bad stuff, that's okay. So we did

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>like a lightsaber ceremony where somebody got a lightsaber um

0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and they give you like to choose from. It's like,

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>if you want the blue and green ones, those are

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>like the classic your classic Star Wars stars, but if

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you want to be the bad guy, they have like

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>an Empire themed one. It's called power and Control. Oh

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 1>my god, this is an acosticview. We if you have

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>been to Star Wars Land, Please give us a night

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>call and tell us more, because now I'm very intrigued.

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>But I also Disneyland is too expensive to go to

0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.439
<v Speaker 1>right now, so I'm not gonna go um, but Disneyland,

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, pay us to us they want um.

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of things that disturbed children, let's take a night call.

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Fine night call. This is a constant listener who, just

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>by coincidence, is Molly's dad, and it's also weeks behind.

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So I just heard you talking about lob. And the

0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 1>scariest thing I've ever seen at a movie was in

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the lobby of a movie theater when I was a

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>little kid and my cut's got a troop got taken

0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to see some movies and terrible movie. But the next

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.880
<v Speaker 1>attraction at the theater was the blob. And I knew

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 1>this because in the lobby there was a big, big crate,

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:24.119
<v Speaker 1>a wooden crate, and it said the blob, do not touch.

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>And coming out of the spaces in between the wood

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 1>was this red jello e substance that was clearly the blob.

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I was so scared. That's my story. Bye, Wow, thanks Dad,

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a great night call. That was a great nightcall. Why

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>are children so obsessed? With slime. They are, they've really

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.880
<v Speaker 1>come back into it. I mean, the blob is so

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.120
<v Speaker 1>scary because it's sentient slime. Yeah, or it's I don't

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>even know. I mean, I guess it's sentient. It has

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 1>to be. It has like motivations. Yeah, I don't know

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 1>if it's really thinking the motivations through. I think some

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>things the way that they think, it's just like expand expand,

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:06.919
<v Speaker 1>expand the whole the whole thought, that's their whole nature. Um.

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't even imagine. It's funny too to think about

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>seeing something like that for the first time and happening. Well,

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it's also kind of interesting how something high tech can

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>pale in comparison to just a grown up deciding to

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>put a bunch of slime in a crate and the

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>don't touch. That's what we need, the scary part totally,

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that is. I think we've been talking about that all

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the time with Baby Yoda too. But I think that

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>was also the thing with Star Wars Lands. I was like,

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 1>a creative slime, yeah, would be both more magical. Yeah,

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.400
<v Speaker 1>we need that creative slime. I wish. Even though it's

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>not Star Wars, it's not actually from the star wars Land.

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.719
<v Speaker 1>But you know that the robot at l a X

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 1>outside of that one restaurant, and that poor robot, that

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:54.760
<v Speaker 1>robot it is. It's such strong feelings in me of

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>like I need to liberate the robot, like that robot's

0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>life sucks, not that it has a life, but whatever

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:04.719
<v Speaker 1>existences is terrible to me. And seeing people being rude

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>to that robot makes me angry, which doesn't make any sense.

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>It's not because it's a service worker. It does make sense.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>It's because you're like, they want to outsource all the

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like most degrading jobs, but also jobs that like people need,

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, they want to outstarce the working class or robots.

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think, but also I feel, I don't resent

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the robot. I empathize with the right. You're not like

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the robot took my job, my waitress job. You're like,

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the robot is also a waitress. Hey, Molly, it sounds

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>almost like you're talking about capitalism. We watched a movie

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>about capitalism. Let's talk about Little Shop of Horrors, Little Shop,

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Little Shop the Horror. It's a very good song, it's

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a very good film. It's a great film. So should

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 1>we take a break and then come back. Yeah, when

0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:56.959
<v Speaker 1>we come back, we'll be discussing Little Shop of Horrors

0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and during the break we'll be singing, and we're back. Okay.

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So Molly had never seen this movie. It's one of

0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>those things that I assumed you had seen. I think

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I have such a lot of times on the pot,

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>but I sort of missed the eighties. What were you

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:27.479
<v Speaker 1>doing reading books like a nerve? Oh? Come on? So

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was I. But like my parents were not into, like

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:34.120
<v Speaker 1>they were watching twin Peaks and stuff, and I would

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.040
<v Speaker 1>like see things that they saw, but I didn't. My

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:42.880
<v Speaker 1>entry point into like regular garbage was full house, which

0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>has to be nine. Not until kindergarten was I like, okay,

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I must see what the other kids are seeing. I

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 1>was just like doing my own weird thing. Yeah, that

0:23:51.080 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, doing your own weird thing is. But I

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 1>think my parents they saw a Little Shop before. Of

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>course they did well. So when we talk about a

0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Little Shop Before, as we are of course talking about

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eight six film directed by Frank Oz, but

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>there's also the two musical and the nineteen sixty what

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>is It? Roger Roger Corman movie, which if you if

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you haven't seen that it's fun. But also you could

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>just see the clip of Jack Nicholson singing in it,

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>which is great, very young Jack Nicholson. Um, So this

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>movie I saw. Maybe I don't think I could have

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 1>seen it in the theater when I was three. I

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>started watching this movie when I was tiny, So one

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.240
<v Speaker 1>thing I learned about it was that it didn't do

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 1>that well in theaters, but it was one of the

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>first ever huge VHS hits, which makes sense because in

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>theaters this is the kind of thing that I think

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>happens pretty frequently where if a film, if if parents

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 1>are afraid that something is too scary, there's always the

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:51.399
<v Speaker 1>feeling of like I'm not going to blow movie ticket

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:53.959
<v Speaker 1>money on it. And my parents also were like I

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>think my mom in particular, was like she knew I

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:59.719
<v Speaker 1>couldn't handle a little shop before year, because I was not.

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of like trauma, mild trauma from this movie.

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I had like some recurring nightmares. But I

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.640
<v Speaker 1>think because it's so over the top and because it's

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a musical, it takes the edge off of even seeing

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the like a brutal axe dismemberment thing, which does happen again.

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>It sme also makes you feel like, man, the eighties

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:23.719
<v Speaker 1>were wild. They were I mean, they were. One thing

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we talked about a lot is like that. The problem

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of mainstream movies now is that therefore

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>this audience of like adults and also children, and they're

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>time cats. Well, no cats forts for me, Okay, it's

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.360
<v Speaker 1>just for you. You can have a little cats as

0:25:39.359 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a treat um. No. But I think when things like

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>try to split the difference between like for everybody, that's

0:25:45.760 --> 0:25:48.639
<v Speaker 1>when you get like the pod race or Anakin Skywalker,

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:51.199
<v Speaker 1>like a baby and a rocket. Well, but when you

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.960
<v Speaker 1>say that, what's really the thing that's most interesting about

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the evolution of different releases of Little Shop is, of

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>course that the original ending. So apparently in the screening

0:26:02.440 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the audience was like right there, they were clapping, they

0:26:05.320 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>were laughing, and then the original ending is just this

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>like absolute horror blood bath. I watched it first because

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>nice have that version queued up. I was like, I'll

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>watch the bat the like scary ending, not bad, but

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the director's cut ending, and then I'll watch the theatrical release,

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 1>happy ending, because I'm a baby. I don't want to

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:30.919
<v Speaker 1>see as much as I talked about how much I

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>love seventies down er endings. I was like, this is

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>too dark. It's too dark because because the main characters

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 1>are so likable despite being very flawed. Right, it's a

0:26:40.240 --> 0:26:44.159
<v Speaker 1>testament to how amazing Rick moranis and are the you

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>do like love Rick moranis the whole time, even when

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.919
<v Speaker 1>he turns out to be a murderer. So just to

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>set this up, I mean, I'm pretty sure people know

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the general synopsis of this movie, but just in case,

0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 1>we have, um, we have Rick moranis as Seymour and uh,

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and we have Audrey and they're working at Mr Mushnick's

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>flower shop. Seymour gets this plant that is Audrey. He

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 1>names it Audrey Too, and it's a weird looking fly

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 1>trap thing, puts it in the window. The struggling business

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 1>becomes a sensation overnight. Everyone's really intrigued. Christopher Guest is

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the first customer who notices Audrey two in the window,

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 1>comes in and it's like, I'm obsessed with that plant.

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I must have one. Um. And the problem is is

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that Audrey Too only eats human blood and meat, so

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's a problem. But in the director's cut

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 1>ending and the original ending Audrey to the plant ends

0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:43.280
<v Speaker 1>up eating original Audrey one Rick Moran. Seymour comes in

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 1>prize Audrey out of the plant Audrey's mouth, but she

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 1>can't be saved. Then Audrey like blows everything up, eats Seymour,

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>and then all of her little baby plants that live

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 1>on her ten drils take over the world. Yeah, and

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>apparently in musical in the stage version, at that point

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.959
<v Speaker 1>when Seymour is like pleading with the plant and the flower,

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the little baby plants open, they all have the faces

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 1>of all the people he's eating them. And there are many,

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:18.639
<v Speaker 1>many fatalities in this movie, which is also crazy to

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:21.120
<v Speaker 1>think of all the children growing up watching. And that's

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:22.959
<v Speaker 1>what I was saying, It's like, it feels like a

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of these eighties movies we're talking about, but they

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 1>were like really for adults, but also their children's kids

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.240
<v Speaker 1>liked them because kids want to like adult things too.

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Kids are like, oh, it's for growing up, so I

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 1>can handle it. Not allowed like, of course that's what

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to see. I don't want to see something

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>for babies. But this movie is legitimately scary. And then

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the songs are so good, they're really good um. Obviously

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Levi stubs from the Four Tops as Audrey too, is

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like the It's just an amazing thing. Also the fact

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>that like in Audrey to the songs, there's a lot

0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of cussing um, and there's a lot of like jokes

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>about Audrey to punching more in the balls. You're like, okay,

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it's very off Broadway. It is extreme it started, and

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it is also cool to think about, Like, right, this

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is something that would never get developed, but it became

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>like a hit organically, so to speak, and then became

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a movie and it was going to be directed at

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>one point by Martin Scorsese. That's so funny. Why not?

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Why not? I mean, I would love I could see it.

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:28.080
<v Speaker 1>He should remake it. But I also, yeah, I think

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Frank Oz like makes the tone of it work because

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 1>it's very hard to see it working. But it is

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>sort of muppety. It's like the humans are sort of

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.920
<v Speaker 1>also like puppets, and humans are very well because everybody's

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of like scrappy and dressed in sort of fuzzy

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 1>stuff and everyone's poor. Everyone's poor. So that's the other

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 1>thing is that they live in a kind of fake

0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>New York that they call skid row and it's I

0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>mean watching it as an adult. This is the first

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>time I've watched it as an adult. Um. And what's

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>really obvious when you watch it as an adults is

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>that it's about capitalism and the green Scare. It's kind

0:30:03.880 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of that is what other people in the internet side. Well,

0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the It's just obvious. It's right there because it's um,

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously there are also different layers that I

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>was like reading every single blog about this movie. But

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean people made the case that it was about gentrification,

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>which totally seems to work as well, um, and about

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the American dream with the white picket fence and like

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:30.880
<v Speaker 1>somewhere that's green money. Yeah. And Johnny was saying also,

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:32.560
<v Speaker 1>he was like, right, this is about New York when

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>it was like when people considered it like scary and

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>run down. Yeah, well it's an interesting apies they gentrified it.

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>But that was when they were gentrifying it, right. But

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I I read somewhere that the sixties movie

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.040
<v Speaker 1>they were like, oh, it's you know, the red scare,

0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.479
<v Speaker 1>and then the idea of like aliens that kind of

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 1>being tied into this like personification of this fear. This

0:30:53.120 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 1>is then turning that on its head. But definitely, I mean,

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>so this was I believe shot in London, um on

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 1>a sound stage, but it definitely has a lot of

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like nineteen eighties New York stuff in it, which is

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 1>curious if you consider that sixties. It's the eighties sixties

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 1>which we all live exactly. UM. I have to say

0:31:15.280 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 1>that my favorite part, which I totally forgotten about, and

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:19.760
<v Speaker 1>this is one of the many really great cameos, is

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>John Candy as Wink Wilkinson, the DJ for w s

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>K I DY so I love him so much. Sean

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Candy talked about another John Candy movie after this and

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>we will um. But he has a he has Night Call,

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 1>like his show is Nightcall. It's Wink Wilkinson's Weird World,

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's I was like, wow, that's probably the most

0:31:43.120 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>analogous thing to Night Call. If you have a plant

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that eats people, please give us a night call we

0:31:49.600 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Wink Wilkinson's. We'll enjoy it. As a plant enthusiast, did

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:11.720
<v Speaker 1>this make you fear have fear of your plants? No?

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean we talked I think last week about the

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 1>fact that plants emit ultrasonic screens. Yeah. Um, And that

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>was really fascinating to me because I got a plant

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a while ago from Home DEEPOT. My plants from Home

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>DEEPO never hold up that well. And this was a

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>mimosa plant called that they branded as the Emo plant

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 1>because when you touch it's um it has kind of

0:32:33.640 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>like almost fern like, uh, they recoil from you and

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like you can't stop doing it, even though you

0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>know that it's the plant is like stop stop stop um.

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, it's one of the things that's kind

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of curious about this. Well, one of the things I

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 1>love about the plant itself is how massive it gets.

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 1>It gets so big. It took like sixty people to

0:32:56.600 --> 0:33:00.640
<v Speaker 1>operate this, this puppet plant, including Brian Henson, who has

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 1>featured into every single one of the movies that we've

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>covered in Scary Eighties Puppet Odyssey. He owned the genre

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and he did a great job. Also his younger sister

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and these are all the Henson family, but his younger

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:18.640
<v Speaker 1>sister appears in the dentist scene, and the dentist scene

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 1>is so good. Steve Martin the doctor, that's I think

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:24.960
<v Speaker 1>why we decided to watch this test and I both

0:33:24.960 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>had some some crazy dental experiences. Yeah, and and that's

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:31.479
<v Speaker 1>all finally behind us. But I'm glad we watched it

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 1>after Oh my god, and shout out to everyone on

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the Night Call facebook page who like sent me very

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 1>supportive messages. I was, I've never been so scared in

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 1>my life, and last week I was like fresh off

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 1>that experience, and now I feel like a brand new lady.

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:47.400
<v Speaker 1>And then you can process it with laughter by watching

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that scene. Well, it's really crazy is they offered me

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>nitros and then they explained that there was a nitrous

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>shortage and then the you know what, there's a nitrous

0:33:56.360 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>shortage because they explain I didn't even look into it

0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because I wanted to just being out. They said it

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 1>was like something about the Middle East, and I was like,

0:34:06.560 --> 0:34:09.239
<v Speaker 1>what does that mean? Like this is a I don't understand.

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a guy like can't you couldn't you really just

0:34:11.560 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 1>manufacture this ship? How hard? Could only one way to

0:34:15.280 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>find out? Right? Um? But Steve Martin obviously dies from

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:23.799
<v Speaker 1>a nitrous oxide overdose before he has dismembered in a

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 1>very Robert Durst kind of way, because Seymour is like,

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't kill him I just cut him up. I

0:34:28.920 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, I've heard that before and again. Testament to

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Rick moranis godd he's so good wonder and Gloria ranis

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 1>that he makes Seymour so lovable the whole time, even

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:43.440
<v Speaker 1>as he gives into his greed and makes the fausting impact.

0:34:43.560 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 1>With Audrey Too, he doesn't have a choice. He just

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>wants things, like a blob. He's only he's operating out

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of need, right, I guess the blob is kind of

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. It's a blob. Capitalism is capitalism, Um,

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.800
<v Speaker 1>do you think that Audrey Too, if this is capitalism,

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:05.520
<v Speaker 1>represents the consumer big business, Like what what do all

0:35:05.560 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 1>of these moving parts? Well, I think Audrey Too is

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 1>like the monster that needs blood to live, right, which

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>is human labor. And then also uh that it like

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 1>is like any company where it's like it insists that

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it has to get bigger each year, it has to

0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:27.120
<v Speaker 1>keep growing and growing forever, and then once it gets

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 1>big enough, it has to have the only things that

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>come from it can populate the MARTA's Amazon. It could be.

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I was at first, I was like, oh, is it

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Silicon Valley? I mean, you can you can have some

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>real fun twist though, what if the plant did nothing wrong?

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it did do What if It's like a

0:35:47.719 --> 0:35:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Frankenstein's Monster though, where it's like the real villain is

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Man for creating it. No, but Mandan created it came

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.359
<v Speaker 1>from Spain, from space. But Man was stupid enough to, like,

0:35:57.480 --> 0:35:59.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, take the apple from eat In and be like,

0:36:00.280 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>this looks good. Gotta do it because I can. I

0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>like a good biblical reference. That's just perfect sense. Yea

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>one to one analogy. Did you have a favorite song?

0:36:10.320 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was singing the theme song for like

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the next twenty hours. But also, you know, suddenly Seemore

0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 1>is so so good. I think the best song is

0:36:19.520 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 1>dentist exclamation mark. Oh yeah, it's so good. I think

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I read the Lady. Gaga played Audrey in a production

0:36:26.920 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 1>of a high school production. We were talking about the

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 1>fact that this is apparently very popular as as a

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:38.439
<v Speaker 1>children's and community theater production, which is like, really, well, yeah,

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.759
<v Speaker 1>but you like everyone I've talked to who loves this

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>movie like saw it as a kid and loved it,

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:46.919
<v Speaker 1>So I guess it's not that disturbing. I always thought

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:50.440
<v Speaker 1>it seemed very vaginal, but that's not the metaphor that

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:53.839
<v Speaker 1>is a vaginal plant and it's the mother Well, all

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:58.240
<v Speaker 1>plants are the vaginal mother planet. I guess so. Um

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:00.439
<v Speaker 1>you're saying you also like Sweeney Top, which is another

0:37:00.520 --> 0:37:03.359
<v Speaker 1>murder musical. Well, I just I'm not the biggest musical fan,

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's obviously hard out there for a non musical

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>fan right now, and I've just been kind of crouching

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>down waiting for the musical trying to flow over for

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>me to put you on a leash and bring you

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 1>to Cats. Yeah, so let's discuss this really quick, because

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:18.760
<v Speaker 1>obviously this totally lines up with our scary puppets theme.

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think I can bring myself to go

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 1>see Cats after all these reviews. Well, the reviews just

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:25.640
<v Speaker 1>make me want to see it more. They did for

0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a bit, but then after I had read all of

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the reviews, I felt like I had already seen it.

0:37:30.480 --> 0:37:34.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'm also like people wouldn't like any adaptation of Cats.

0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Cats has such a bad reputation as a musical because

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's so dumb. It's perfect. Our friend Tyler Coates went

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>to the screening. He is a he is a fan.

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>He's a huge Cats fan. He said, he's seen it

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>four times, three times as an adult, and he hated

0:37:50.680 --> 0:37:53.440
<v Speaker 1>this movie. I hated it. I gotta know. I got

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to know. You have to have to see it for myself.

0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I have to know about it because it's like Star

0:37:58.040 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Wars Land. I'm like, each baffling choice here was vetted

0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 1>by thousands of people, and this is where we arrived

0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and finished hours before at premier, which is the funniest

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 1>thing to me, because of course, and to make something

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 1>like more horrifying than anything in Sweeney Todd or Little

0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Shop in a musical that's not supposed to be in

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:21.680
<v Speaker 1>any way horror core. I just think it's upsetting that

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 1>they added elements that weren't there originally to try to

0:38:26.400 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>have more going on, but it didn't result in that.

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't appear to have a cat the Cats

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Defenders logging on right now. I mean, it's an adaptation

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>of a book of poems, and it's like essentially I was.

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I was also telling you that there was this thing

0:38:40.320 --> 0:38:42.719
<v Speaker 1>about how like the producer was like asking Andrew Lord

0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Webber what it's about. Being like Sweeney Todd is about

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>like Victorian industrialization, grinding people up into mince meat. Uh

0:38:49.719 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 1>is cats? Like, is this cat Queen Victoria and this

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 1>other cat is the British Empire? And he was like, no,

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.960
<v Speaker 1>they're cats. It's just cats. It's just cats. I would

0:38:58.160 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I would have rather it would be easier to get

0:39:00.560 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>me into the theater if this were a movie of

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 1>just actual cats, like and then there was just a

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 1>voice over or something, or you know, you could somehow

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:12.320
<v Speaker 1>like make the cat's mouths move like in Snowbuddies or whatever.

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:16.319
<v Speaker 1>How was the Lion King did that? Though? That was scary.

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.239
<v Speaker 1>This is like I respect that they're going for the

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:23.240
<v Speaker 1>nightmarishness of the eighties original um, which is really weird.

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.319
<v Speaker 1>And I liked that. I mean, I knew it was

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:29.759
<v Speaker 1>campy and like dumb, but it is like just like

0:39:29.800 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 1>a tribute to British vaudeville. It's like here I am

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.640
<v Speaker 1>singing my song. Now here's another person singing their songs.

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's some stuff about me. Right. There's like barely any

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:44.280
<v Speaker 1>overarching plot, which is like very relaxing, although the cats

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 1>did come into the audience, which totally scares children. Wait

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:49.880
<v Speaker 1>what Yeah, they're like clowns that come up to you

0:39:49.920 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, I'm speaking of things that scared children. Yes,

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 1>let's take a minute for home alone. Yeah, let's take

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a minute for home alone. So you just watched this

0:40:05.680 --> 0:40:08.360
<v Speaker 1>for I'm assuming you've seen it before, but you recently.

0:40:08.960 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I watched it as much as other people do. I've

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 1>only seen a holiday tradition. I don't watch it for

0:40:13.960 --> 0:40:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the holidays. Is the first time I've done that million years.

0:40:16.680 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Because somebody else was talking about it, I was like, sure,

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd watched that. Um. I didn't like it that much

0:40:20.440 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 1>at the time. Yeah, when I was a kid, because

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was so violent, I loved it, um,

0:40:27.360 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But every other kid did. So I was alone. This

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 1>was my ultimate fantasy as a child is just to

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be home alone for for a really long time. It

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.680
<v Speaker 1>was like just get the parents out, not so much

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the robbers, but just like having a like a big

0:40:41.000 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>house all to yoursel. Yeah. And then when he was

0:40:43.239 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>when in you know, when he was in New York,

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, I was like, yeah, at a hotel by yourself.

0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Imagine that's the life if you're a kid, Oh boy,

0:40:54.480 --> 0:40:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Because then all of the tedious stuff where you're like, oh,

0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Kevin's house is getting really messy, like he doesn't know

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 1>how to clean his house. He's like tiny that that's

0:41:04.120 --> 0:41:06.880
<v Speaker 1>got to be affecting his psyche when you're in the hotel,

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:12.200
<v Speaker 1>like you know, there's housekeeping, some talking food, the home alone. Oh,

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I would I would just like fantasize about that all

0:41:14.400 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the time. I guess there's a lot of things for

0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 1>kids that fantasize about being like an adult but you're

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>still a kid. Yeah, or or just like the idea

0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:26.040
<v Speaker 1>of could I make it, it's almost like a testing survivalist. Yeah,

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh I never had that. I was like, I would die,

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I know, but you're you're more social. I was just like, wow,

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 1>imagine no, but I would die, Like I would die

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:37.719
<v Speaker 1>left to my own devices, I wouldn't be able to like,

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you be fine. No. I was like, if I got

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.400
<v Speaker 1>lost in New York, I would be in the Hudson

0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:47.040
<v Speaker 1>River so fast. That's a kid, like, come on, no

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:49.160
<v Speaker 1>cell phones yet, I would have been just I would

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:51.040
<v Speaker 1>have just fallen into manhole. I felt like I could

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 1>hack it. At one time, I went on a plane

0:41:53.200 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>by myself when I was like probably eleven or something,

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and there was that there was bad weather and I

0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:03.719
<v Speaker 1>was in Texas overnight and um had my parents they

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 1>were like, what are we going to do in the airline?

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>They because somehow set it up so that I could

0:42:07.560 --> 0:42:10.400
<v Speaker 1>stay in a western overnight. And I remember I was

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like a tiny coffee maker, Like I can figure out

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:16.920
<v Speaker 1>how to use this tiny like a cup of coffee.

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.080
<v Speaker 1>You're so you're the only kid in the world who's

0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like a night by myself in a hotel without my parents.

0:42:22.560 --> 0:42:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Sweet sweet. I think Kevin felt that way too at first.

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.399
<v Speaker 1>How old is Kevin? I think Kevin's supposed to be.

0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I would guess fifth grade, fifth grade? How old is that?

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Fifth grade would be like eleven or maybe like let's

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 1>say ten or eleven eight. I don't think let's say

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:43.879
<v Speaker 1>nine or somewhere in the nine to eleven range. I've

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 1>noticed that a lot of books um for like kind

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>of kids who are in elementary school, like young elementary school,

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:54.040
<v Speaker 1>they all seem set in fifth grade. It seems like

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:56.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of kind of like a pivotal age where kids

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>are able to have their own thoughts but not have

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>them and by or to be self sufficient but not

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:05.319
<v Speaker 1>really where you're like in your mind, you've got it

0:43:05.360 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 1>all set up, but then when you actually try and

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 1>execute the most basic tasks. You're like, I'm a kid,

0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 1>damn it, and assault and everything. Um, tell me more

0:43:17.520 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>about your love of home alone. Well, I I watched

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:22.360
<v Speaker 1>it with my kids, and I didn't remember how violent

0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 1>it was, And then I felt kind of bad about

0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:28.640
<v Speaker 1>that because it is. It's it's a tremendously sadistic like

0:43:28.719 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you're really supposed to just want to see these guys

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.960
<v Speaker 1>like punched and tripped and burned. Is it weird that

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I was like, they're doing nothing wrong. They just they're

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>not trying to murder anybody. They're just trying to get

0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 1>some valuable to get out. No, I think it's pretty

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 1>mess I think that the real distressing thing is that

0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>they were surveilling the house right and waiting for everyone

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to leave, and when they realized that there was a

0:43:52.520 --> 0:43:54.680
<v Speaker 1>child involved, they were like, you know what, let's take

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:56.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance. If someone gets hurt, no big deal. And

0:43:56.840 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 1>you're like, but he's he's Kevin, he's a little kid.

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying to like, you don't know that Kevin

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:08.040
<v Speaker 1>is like you know, Rambo until they don't set it

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.800
<v Speaker 1>up at all. Well, to explain that we were talking

0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:13.640
<v Speaker 1>about this, I was saying, it's like there's nothing in

0:44:13.680 --> 0:44:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the first act of Home Alone to let you have

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.120
<v Speaker 1>any idea that Kevin would be good at, like setting

0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>booby traps, doing pranks, like having any kind of technical

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:27.480
<v Speaker 1>know how. There's nothing, you know. They show him with

0:44:27.640 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 1>his brothers and he just siblings, and he's so powerless,

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and he's like the little kid. He's the youngest. I think, Um,

0:44:35.400 --> 0:44:38.680
<v Speaker 1>he gets lost in the chaotic shuffle, but he's sort

0:44:38.680 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 1>of just like is a helpless little kid until his

0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:45.560
<v Speaker 1>medal is tested and then it turns into straw dogs.

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.799
<v Speaker 1>And that is the weirdest. It's like one of the

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 1>weirdest act turns in a movie ever. So let me

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:54.239
<v Speaker 1>let me pause it this. I think that if they

0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 1>had had Kevin at the beginning of the movie when

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they're ordering the pizza and that in a blings and

0:45:00.520 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 1>cousins are threatening to like pee on him and they're

0:45:03.080 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 1>just all hating on him, if he had retaliated, then

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:09.640
<v Speaker 1>first of all, you would have expected that he would

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 1>retaliate against the robbers, which I think it's better if

0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:14.759
<v Speaker 1>you're like, wow, he found his grit. Okay, yeah, you

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:17.280
<v Speaker 1>came into his own. But also he would have seemed

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:20.600
<v Speaker 1>like such an asshole because he already kind of salty.

0:45:20.760 --> 0:45:25.839
<v Speaker 1>It's also like, you know, no offense to Macaulay Culkin's face,

0:45:25.960 --> 0:45:28.520
<v Speaker 1>but there's something a little like Richie rich about him.

0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, he seems like a little smug like blonde kids,

0:45:32.200 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. Yeah, he's very delicate, he's you know,

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:40.600
<v Speaker 1>he's pretty, but I don't know, it's like they don't

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>they just kind of make him be like he's like

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a little woos and then it's like, no, he's not

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a Woos. That's but that's why it's it's kind of

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a survivalist thing. But it's also kind of a coming

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:51.319
<v Speaker 1>of age thing because when he's by himself, he's like,

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 1>are the Wet bandits puberty? Oh? What if? What if?

0:45:57.239 --> 0:46:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean it is it makes a lot of said

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you turn thirteen, Daniel Stern and Joe

0:46:03.160 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Pesci show up and tell you something a total like

0:46:07.480 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>adolescent Joe Peshi. Joe Peshi the Jareff for into adulthood.

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I love Joe Peshi so much. Um, I've seen We've

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:23.480
<v Speaker 1>seen so many Joe Peshi movies. Here, congratulations to us. Yeah,

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.480
<v Speaker 1>when everybody was talking about how Grady is in The Irishman.

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Some of us were like, you mean JFK. You mean

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.960
<v Speaker 1>how amazing he is in JFK. But he's also amazing

0:46:34.960 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and home alone, I mean home Alone. It's so hard because,

0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like I realized that it could be reduced to people

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:45.080
<v Speaker 1>saying it's not the finest film ever made. I mean,

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:47.239
<v Speaker 1>but I think it might be. It's up there for me.

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 1>It's also cartoon violence. I think that's the thing too,

0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:52.400
<v Speaker 1>is it's like, what makes it jarring is that the

0:46:52.480 --> 0:46:56.320
<v Speaker 1>first half of the movie is like John Hughes social realism,

0:46:56.360 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, or it's like takes place in reality and

0:47:00.960 --> 0:47:04.520
<v Speaker 1>it's good. It's like the kids aren't like sickly sweet,

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and there's there's older Pete from Pete and Pete like

0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.439
<v Speaker 1>the kids talk kind of like assholes to each other,

0:47:10.640 --> 0:47:14.160
<v Speaker 1>which is believable, and they're all like competitive. It's not

0:47:14.239 --> 0:47:16.239
<v Speaker 1>like his family. At the beginning is like, the most

0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:19.839
<v Speaker 1>wonderful thing is that they're like the family and like

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:23.719
<v Speaker 1>sixteen candles just like ignoring him, which is I guess

0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the big John Hughes is um. But then in the

0:47:26.560 --> 0:47:31.040
<v Speaker 1>second half it turns into like a loony tune and

0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that is confusing. It is, but I mean there's it

0:47:35.520 --> 0:47:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is like a nice kind of like revenge in a way.

0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>It's just he can't he wishes his family would disappear,

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and so they do. But then it's like he still

0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:45.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of has the grudge against them that hasn't been

0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:47.839
<v Speaker 1>worked through yet, and he just takes it out on

0:47:47.880 --> 0:47:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Wet Bandits instead. It's just so violent. That's super violent.

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's also the Angels with Dirty Faces influence, and

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:57.600
<v Speaker 1>which is a meta commentary on you're watching a violent movie,

0:47:57.640 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 1>now you'll be violent. I forgot also that he like

0:48:00.280 --> 0:48:02.960
<v Speaker 1>has a gun. It's a baby gun, but still that

0:48:03.040 --> 0:48:05.839
<v Speaker 1>he like puts a gun on his back and it's

0:48:05.920 --> 0:48:09.560
<v Speaker 1>like time to fucking do some business. It's so that

0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was the exact moment when I looked at my like

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:15.719
<v Speaker 1>tiny children and was like, I'm so sorry, you're not

0:48:15.760 --> 0:48:18.920
<v Speaker 1>allowed to do that. Yeah, they don't even for a while,

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 1>like we would just refer to guns as those things

0:48:21.480 --> 0:48:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you don't like. So I was like, there's those things

0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't like in a movie. I insisted we watch. Well, yeah,

0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the thing. There's just yeah, there's something

0:48:30.800 --> 0:48:33.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of creepy and conservative about it. It's very like

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 1>standard I know, but it's very guy asshole I know.

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:42.719
<v Speaker 1>But it's still like like defend your I don't know,

0:48:42.840 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 1>just like hide in the basement, kid, let them take

0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:47.960
<v Speaker 1>your stereo and just hide. That's the thing. He doesn't

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.799
<v Speaker 1>know that they're after stuff, Molly right, And then they

0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:55.160
<v Speaker 1>do eventually threaten to kill him. See, at which point

0:48:56.200 --> 0:49:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it becomes I guess justifiable. Maybe we should do a

0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>series on like coming of age movies and have this

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:07.400
<v Speaker 1>one be this can enter into the well. You and

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I both love The Bad Seed, which is a movie

0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:12.560
<v Speaker 1>of the best, the best movie about an evil little kid. Um.

0:49:12.600 --> 0:49:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And then I also saw The Good Son for the

0:49:14.440 --> 0:49:17.120
<v Speaker 1>first time. Oh it's so which very so good and

0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:20.920
<v Speaker 1>scary and uses everything that's unsettling about Macaulay Culkin in

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Home Alone to like the greatest effect to be like

0:49:24.800 --> 0:49:28.160
<v Speaker 1>this is the kid that like can convince adults he's

0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:32.759
<v Speaker 1>doing whatever. Oh, what about sociopathic child movie? We could

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:36.040
<v Speaker 1>do The Bad Seed, um, the good Son, the Omen.

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We could have fun. What else we got, well, Brainstorm, Well, brainstorm,

0:49:41.400 --> 0:49:44.719
<v Speaker 1>you've got some ideas for sociopathic child movies. Give us

0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a night call it to four oh for six night?

0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:49.759
<v Speaker 1>What should we take one more night call before we

0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 1>get Let's take one more night call? All right, let's

0:49:51.480 --> 0:49:54.839
<v Speaker 1>do it. Hi, guys, So I had to pause your

0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:59.880
<v Speaker 1>latest episode where you talk about the Unclaimed Baggage Center

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona. And I have not been there either, but

0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been kind of fascinated with this place ever since

0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I was a kid. And I saw this kind of

0:50:13.160 --> 0:50:19.480
<v Speaker 1>long form autobiographical ras Chast comic about when she visited there,

0:50:20.360 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's really kind of moody, like especially for her stuff. Um,

0:50:28.120 --> 0:50:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's really interesting and she talks about, Um, she

0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 1>talks about like going to this little diner that's right

0:50:35.719 --> 0:50:40.560
<v Speaker 1>next to it, and she orders like a peanut butter

0:50:40.719 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>coke which is on the menu, and it's just like

0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 1>coke with with pe DUTs in it that like flowed

0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:50.600
<v Speaker 1>up and down. Um. Anyway, it's really interesting and I

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:53.040
<v Speaker 1>recommend you check that comic out. I think it was

0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:58.600
<v Speaker 1>in her anthology book Theories of Everything, but UM, I

0:50:58.640 --> 0:51:01.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know where it was originally public. Probably the New Yorkers,

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but um, he definitely took it out. Um. Thanks for

0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:08.239
<v Speaker 1>the guys, that was a great nightcall. I don't know

0:51:08.239 --> 0:51:11.640
<v Speaker 1>if the caller identified themselves. But thank you nightcaller. We'll

0:51:11.640 --> 0:51:16.479
<v Speaker 1>call you peanut butter coke. Um, we love raw shast Yes,

0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I actually just I'm like halfway through her. It's kind

0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of like a memoir. Can't we talk about something more pleasant,

0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>which is about her aging parents and it's it's very sad.

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:31.239
<v Speaker 1>But also if you love ros she's the best. Her Instagram,

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:33.759
<v Speaker 1>which is just her name, Rack shast Um, is the

0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:37.319
<v Speaker 1>best instagram of anybody. It's amazing. She does a lot

0:51:37.360 --> 0:51:40.399
<v Speaker 1>of art and like comicy stuff, stuff that she can't

0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:42.880
<v Speaker 1>do in the New Yorker. Um, that's just kind of

0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:46.640
<v Speaker 1>like self reflective, self reflective dream comics. She does use

0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 1>dream comics all the time. She has always just been

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite cartoonists. Um, my parents always had

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 1>her stuff in our house and a big night call

0:51:55.320 --> 0:52:00.440
<v Speaker 1>inspiration total like just a lady person you in her

0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:06.399
<v Speaker 1>own call drinking that peanut butter coat. She does something

0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:09.440
<v Speaker 1>also amazing for Halloween. I'm not sure if they do

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:12.440
<v Speaker 1>it for Christmas also, but for Halloween her and her

0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:15.320
<v Speaker 1>husband put out these like insane dolls all over their yard.

0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Really where do they live New York? Probably outside New

0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:21.279
<v Speaker 1>York somewhere. Um, and she said I thought it was

0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:23.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe her thing, but she said at some point that

0:52:23.400 --> 0:52:26.360
<v Speaker 1>it was actually her husband's insane obsession. But it sounds

0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:30.719
<v Speaker 1>like she found somebody who also would appreciate the unclaimed

0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:35.920
<v Speaker 1>baggage area. Oh, editor's desk, the unclaimed baggage that we

0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:37.960
<v Speaker 1>referenced in last week's episode and we said was in

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Arizona is in fact in Alabama. So thanks for letting

0:52:41.320 --> 0:52:43.239
<v Speaker 1>us know about that. It's too far for us to go.

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're going to go to Alabama for that,

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:47.319
<v Speaker 1>but if you're in the vicinity of Alabama and you

0:52:47.320 --> 0:52:50.200
<v Speaker 1>want to report back on the unclaimed baggage, please do,

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:53.600
<v Speaker 1>please do. Um. Yeah, ros Chast is awesome and I

0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:56.480
<v Speaker 1>also rock Chast. Come on Nightcall, Yeah, come on night

0:52:56.520 --> 0:52:58.680
<v Speaker 1>called Ros. She's also been a really cool mentor to
