Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Movie Crush. It's Chuck Brian here
Speaker 1: next to Noel Brown. Sounds so pleasant today, Chuck, Mr
Speaker 1: Noel Brown, Mr Chuck Bryant, as I live and breathe,
Speaker 1: You don't just realized, Noel As we didn't sing it
Speaker 1: all in that last episode. Is that a thing we
Speaker 1: have to sing in every episode? And you have to
Speaker 1: mock me for being a Harry Potter fan? Wait, well no,
Speaker 1: and poke at my hole. We don't. We don't always sing,
Speaker 1: but you know, we talked about this. It seems like
Speaker 1: we end up singing a lot sometimes for no reason.
Speaker 1: You just have to sing. It comes from the heart.
Speaker 1: I love that that. I introduced you to the Dance
Speaker 1: Movie a few weeks ago. Yeah, the Dance Movie. Is
Speaker 1: it like is it like a drum line movie? Is
Speaker 1: it like one of those man see a dance movie,
Speaker 1: knol see footloose? For God's sakes? Is it like like
Speaker 1: one of those movies from the twenties with the big
Speaker 1: cakes and stuff and everyone's yeah, it's a big cake.
Speaker 1: That is you know what I'm talking about? Shock? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: the Coen Brothers got to um sort of duplicate that
Speaker 1: Inhale Caesar Scarlet dance. That must have been so much
Speaker 1: fun to yeh. You know, have you seen Ballad of
Speaker 1: Buster Scrugs yet? By the way, well, my friend that
Speaker 1: is on stream this in this very episode, so save it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love that. Have you seen it? Yes? Several times? Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little mini crushed judgment then, alright,
Speaker 1: Social studies is what we're gonna start out with, though,
Speaker 1: everyone social movie. I asked you all a few weeks
Speaker 1: ago if you could ask your favorite actor any one question,
Speaker 1: what would that be? And here would go with DC Hoover,
Speaker 1: good one, he says, I would ask Matt Damon why
Speaker 1: he never wrote another script after Good Will Hunting. You
Speaker 1: know what, I have a theory about that because you
Speaker 1: know who has written other scripts? Ben Ben? So you
Speaker 1: think Ben was the main writer? Ben was was the
Speaker 1: guy has been written other scripts? Did he write some
Speaker 1: of them? Wrote the Town Dude? Okay? I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I knew he directed, I didn't. Maybe maybe I'm right.
Speaker 1: And I thought he wrote Gone, Baby Gone as well.
Speaker 1: I thought that that was adapted, wasn't it wasn't that
Speaker 1: based on a book. I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure he
Speaker 1: wrote The Town though. Okay, well, why don't you type
Speaker 1: your little fingers over there into Mr ben Afflecks holes
Speaker 1: find out how he has them plugged? What it's going on?
Speaker 1: God's so base? Um, yeah, that's a good question. Why
Speaker 1: would he never write another script he's in DC. Hoover
Speaker 1: says this. I don't know if it's uncool to like
Speaker 1: that script or film, but I think it's great. No,
Speaker 1: I think good Will Hunting is wonderful. Yeah, dude. He
Speaker 1: wrote the screenplay for Gone Baby, Gone. Um. He wrote
Speaker 1: the screenplay for The Town. Wow, they were both good.
Speaker 1: They were both Another one called Live by Night or
Speaker 1: Live by Night, Well, that's the one. Like, he had
Speaker 1: a really stellar directing and writing thing going until Live
Speaker 1: by Night. Yeah, it wasn't good. I didn't even see it,
Speaker 1: but it got paanned. He also wrote a screenplay for
Speaker 1: a Batman movie that didn't get made. I seem to
Speaker 1: remember that floating around when he became Batman for right
Speaker 1: like him as Batman. No, but I'm serious, dude, I
Speaker 1: think Matt Damon maybe not the writer. Well he may have.
Speaker 1: You know, there's lots of different ways to collaborate. He
Speaker 1: made not to put finger to keys. Well, there's there's
Speaker 1: it's funny too, because the joke used to be that
Speaker 1: ben Affleck was the big dumb bro and then Damon
Speaker 1: was probably like the brains behind the operation. But seeing
Speaker 1: some of ben Affleck's direct directing works, he's got some chops. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe Damon's the dummy. Dummy remember how they up to
Speaker 1: be the are They portrayed him in that Team American
Speaker 1: movie where it's like that damn Yeah, yeah, it's like that,
Speaker 1: like those guys, I'm staying behind them. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 1: Good to Hunting is great and it turned me on
Speaker 1: to Elliott Smith the first time. Really, that was where
Speaker 1: you got it? Huh miss misery? Yeah, so good alright,
Speaker 1: p Jacob stubble Field, says Hugh Jackman. I would not
Speaker 1: ask him a question, per se. I would thank him
Speaker 1: for being the perfect Wolverine for so many years and
Speaker 1: always keeping the integrity of the character. That's wonderful, especially
Speaker 1: in that really really gritty one the last Logan. That
Speaker 1: was great. What a movie. I really enjoyed that. That
Speaker 1: girls fucking fantastic, all of it. Everything about that, just
Speaker 1: the way the arc choice for like such an iconic character,
Speaker 1: because it was so man just dusty and sad and
Speaker 1: and just like violent in the most nihilistic way kind of.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought it was great well, and especially
Speaker 1: at the time where super heroes are eventually just replaced
Speaker 1: and like, well we got any Spider Man or now
Speaker 1: we got a new uh Fantastic Four or whatever. There's
Speaker 1: no like to sinnamentality like or arc of a character.
Speaker 1: Like with Logan. They're not just gonna replace I much,
Speaker 1: and they will at some point at some point, but
Speaker 1: they have given this character sort of an end. We
Speaker 1: still need to grieve, Chuck Public needs to grieve, and
Speaker 1: then they'll drop in some new hotshot to be woltering.
Speaker 1: But maybe we'll do a good job and that'll all
Speaker 1: be in service of the work that Hugh Jackman did
Speaker 1: for the character. Whoever they get has to be damn
Speaker 1: good boy man. I would not want to take over
Speaker 1: like Heath Ledger doing the Joker. You know, he had
Speaker 1: some serious hues to fill and he and he did
Speaker 1: a good job. He did. Uh. Andy Kepler, says John
Speaker 1: Goodman was the oh you're just this is right up
Speaker 1: my alley. Buddy was the fire at the end of
Speaker 1: Barton Fink real or part of the main character's imagination.
Speaker 1: Do you see Barton Fink? Yeah, I'm that that's sort
Speaker 1: of a spoiler, right there, isn't it? Uh not really?
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's a fire towards the end of
Speaker 1: the movie. Kind that's true. We don't have to get
Speaker 1: too into it, um, but there's a lot of like
Speaker 1: ambiguity about what we're gonna going to discuss it. You know,
Speaker 1: we have to spoiler alert this a little bit. This
Speaker 1: isn't John Goodman's character spoiler alert for Barton Fink movie
Speaker 1: that's twenty years old at this point. Isn't John Goodman's
Speaker 1: character kind of the devil? Is that the point is
Speaker 1: that maybe it's it is all in his imagination, that
Speaker 1: this kind of like neurotic don't know writer that's like
Speaker 1: freaking out about this deadline, right, And there's this neighbor
Speaker 1: in the hotel is who he turns out to be
Speaker 1: a serial killer, right, But it's not the devil. But
Speaker 1: they're definitely like super fire is meant to be supernatural? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's not like it it showed like a fire
Speaker 1: started somehow. It's just it's spontaneous emanating from this to
Speaker 1: which one is what I'm saying, and as he ran
Speaker 1: down the hall of the fire spread with him. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's just sort of that stylized
Speaker 1: Coen Brothers thing for sure. But I also think there's
Speaker 1: something to be said about the fact that the Barton
Speaker 1: fink or Um, this is what the actre's name. John
Speaker 1: Dearro's character is just kind of slowly losing his mind
Speaker 1: and losing touch with reality and like, well, and that's
Speaker 1: what John Goodman is yelling at him as he runs
Speaker 1: down the hall is I'll show you the life of
Speaker 1: the mind. There you go. Yeah, And that's the thing too.
Speaker 1: I think the Life of the Mind it's almost like
Speaker 1: adaptation right where you're experiencing this guy's creativity in him
Speaker 1: going mad like in him and losing losing his mind
Speaker 1: kind of. Yeah, that's how he's using his imagination. Is
Speaker 1: like instead of writing, he's kind of just like experiencing
Speaker 1: it all in this really visual way and working like
Speaker 1: right there with him. I don't know. I like it.
Speaker 1: I love that movie. It's a very good movie. That's
Speaker 1: one of my old faves back in college. Very good stuff.
Speaker 1: Jane Savage. In fact, They're gonna have my good friend
Speaker 1: Eddie on to talk about Barton Fink. We've already talked
Speaker 1: about this. Jane Savage says, my favorite actress is Kathy Bates.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would ask her except maybe
Speaker 1: about her roll in Six Ft Under, which is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite performances of hers. So wonder well that
Speaker 1: show meant so much to me. Emily's favorite show ever
Speaker 1: or number one mine too, Yeah, not equivocally. I was
Speaker 1: watching it right when my father died, And you would
Speaker 1: think that that would be like a real bummer, like
Speaker 1: really heavy or like not something you would want to do,
Speaker 1: but it actually gave me a lot of comfort kind
Speaker 1: and it was really interesting that I just like I
Speaker 1: kept rolling with that show the whole way, like when
Speaker 1: it was on. You know, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: a powerful, amazing show. Kathy Bates is great. She was
Speaker 1: one of my favorite characters. You know, she popped up
Speaker 1: uh every now and then as a is. Uh. She
Speaker 1: wasn't a relative. Wouldn't she just a good friend of
Speaker 1: Patricia Clarkson? Or was she? Yeah? No, a really good friend. Okay,
Speaker 1: but she was not a relative though, right, I do
Speaker 1: not believe so Okay, they were just great and I
Speaker 1: love seeing those two together. Patricia Clarkson is a is
Speaker 1: a treasure A treasure dream guest. Yeah, she's amazing, boy,
Speaker 1: I'd love to meet her. Cam Hoptman, says Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1: I would say after Big, how did Josh's life play out? Goodwin?
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear Tom Hanks surmised something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be fun. He does he get? Does he get
Speaker 1: shrunk back? Gets shrunk back to kid's size at the end? Right?
Speaker 1: He does? Uh? I would love to see a sequel
Speaker 1: to that? How about a big sequel. Here's a weird
Speaker 1: question for you. Did they have Did they really have
Speaker 1: sex or was it just like heavy petting? Well? I
Speaker 1: think they really had sex as his adults, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was technically whatever. And how did she
Speaker 1: not catch on? Like this person doesn't. That's going to
Speaker 1: could happen a lot, though, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: it happens to all guys. No, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's very true. But he was with like I think
Speaker 1: was he ten? How old is he meant to be
Speaker 1: in that movie? I feel like he was like, okay,
Speaker 1: well then he had some ideas. I never really I
Speaker 1: mean that's so it's a weird question. I'm sorry, No,
Speaker 1: it's not tainted. It's a very nice movie. It's a
Speaker 1: nice movie. That scene always just weirded me out a little.
Speaker 1: And I was also I was a kid, so like
Speaker 1: my kid when some people kiss on movie, she she
Speaker 1: covers her eyes. When I was that age, I think
Speaker 1: I was really uncomfortable with that as well. For the
Speaker 1: time until then, I was like sort of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta find more movies like this, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: Seth Nixon says he would sit down with gen Wilder
Speaker 1: and say, what did you on, Cleeve? You and Cleeve
Speaker 1: on little talk about when you uh rode off into
Speaker 1: the sunset and the Cadillac at the end of Blazing Saddles. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a great question, Seth. You know the end of
Speaker 1: Blazing Saddles, they get in the Cadillac and ride off
Speaker 1: through the desert and there it's this great long shot
Speaker 1: and they're laughing and talking to one another the tops down.
Speaker 1: You can see him talking and laughing and talking laughing
Speaker 1: as they drive away. He's like, what were you guys
Speaker 1: talking about? I would love to know that. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't remember that scene that that's That's a movie
Speaker 1: that I've always seen in little bits and pieces. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen it in one sitting, but maybe
Speaker 1: the funniest movie joke joke for joke, got um William
Speaker 1: Angus says Vincent Donofrio, I would say, I would say,
Speaker 1: you've played a lot of bad guys, most recently on Daredevil,
Speaker 1: and now you're trying to be the new Lex Luthor
Speaker 1: in the DC universe. I didn't know that what attracts
Speaker 1: you to play the bad guy? It's a good question
Speaker 1: for Vincent donafrio, although he is not exclusively a bad guy,
Speaker 1: but he can play a good bad guy. When I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of like the one the roles that come to mind,
Speaker 1: the iconic kind of ones I do think tend to
Speaker 1: think of the bad guys well full metal jacket. But
Speaker 1: that's the thing that that's a very ambivalent is he
Speaker 1: the bad guy? He becomes the bad guy, but he's
Speaker 1: also totally like he's just a troubled kind of sad guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not like a villain, no, not at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he has played some very larger than life villains
Speaker 1: like the Character and the the Cell, which whatever you
Speaker 1: think about the cell we're talking about earlier. He's like
Speaker 1: this weird, like psychotic demon overlooking and the guy that
Speaker 1: directed that did like the Losing My Religion video Tarsis.
Speaker 1: It's very visually come helling movie. Yeah, yeah, I agreed
Speaker 1: he did. Uh. I kind of thought that was the
Speaker 1: beginning of really big things for him. And I think
Speaker 1: he did another movie, um that didn't do as well
Speaker 1: and then has not done a lot since. Alright, our
Speaker 1: statman's checking it. Yeah, I'm trying to look up as
Speaker 1: I am to be. I mean, he's definitely he's got
Speaker 1: a recurring role on one of those SVU type shows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's he's on a law and order show. Didn't like
Speaker 1: that all the time, So I wonder if his movie
Speaker 1: career kind of took a a little bit of a
Speaker 1: back seat. Interesting to be an actor on a hit show.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean that's something that's wrong with that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it seemed like that's a little sure prestigious,
Speaker 1: slightly lower because it's like, no, I agree, director of
Speaker 1: a movie as opposed to h on screen detective. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Kenneth Bella gutt Or Balago. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you say your name Daniel Craig, who was your
Speaker 1: favorite Bond? That is a great question to ask Daniel
Speaker 1: Craig that maybe that information may be out there. Actually,
Speaker 1: I feel like Daniel Craig is lauded like Sean Connery.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I thought he was great. Who Daniel Craig, he
Speaker 1: is great. But who do you think his favorite Bond
Speaker 1: would be? Probably Connery? I think I've heard him talk
Speaker 1: about Connery has got had had a little bit of
Speaker 1: the edge, you know, he had a little bit of that, yeah,
Speaker 1: and a little bit of the kind of like an
Speaker 1: intense face and eyes. And he wasn't just a little
Speaker 1: more dangerous little pretty boy, you know. Yeah. I agreed.
Speaker 1: I like Daniel Craig because he was just kind of
Speaker 1: like sad Bond, you know. He was like Bond as
Speaker 1: Batman kind of you know. Yeah, yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: definitely rounded out that character and with a dimension that
Speaker 1: we had never seen. We've never seen James Bond have
Speaker 1: emotions really, you know, not like that, Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: when he loses his lady, right, yeah, I mean the
Speaker 1: only emotions that Roger Moore had were karate chopping and
Speaker 1: and boy yeah and and martini time. Hey, I love
Speaker 1: Roger Moore was my guy. I grew up with him,
Speaker 1: so I loved it. So apologies, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: disrespect the men's work. No, it's but but I think
Speaker 1: the Daniel Craig stuff sort of elevated the bond material
Speaker 1: a little bit more of like a real type of
Speaker 1: human with complexities or whatever. Even was very old weather
Speaker 1: kind of you know. Yeah, I'm with you. Mark phone
Speaker 1: M says, not my favorite actor, but I always want
Speaker 1: to have dinner with Eugene Levy and picked his brain
Speaker 1: about SCTV. That would be fun. He seems really fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good guy too. Supposedly he'll also
Speaker 1: he'll do just about any project you throw at him too,
Speaker 1: because he's been really he's been in some amazing stuff
Speaker 1: and he's been in some Yeah, I bet he wouldn't
Speaker 1: be on movie Crush he would? Why because I was?
Speaker 1: Because I'm talking to you. No, Um, I think he's
Speaker 1: a hugely talented guy. But there are just some things
Speaker 1: where I'm like, why did you do this? Eugene? Like
Speaker 1: American Pie three, you know, like he I'm sure he
Speaker 1: has uh several hundred thousand reasons why that's fair? That's fair,
Speaker 1: chuck um. And then finally, Michelle Johnson says, Steve McQueen,
Speaker 1: the legendary Steve McQueen. She said, I would say, what
Speaker 1: was it like making The Towering Inferno? And who did
Speaker 1: you like meeting out of all the stars in that movie?
Speaker 1: I love it, kind of fan bowing out with Steve McQueen. Also,
Speaker 1: given the opportunity, what role would you have liked to
Speaker 1: have played in your career? Hey, Michelle, I love a
Speaker 1: throwback Steve McQueen reference. He was the man. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen his movies? No, I haven't. Bullet right, people
Speaker 1: love Bullet, Yeah you should. I mean, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: see anything, see Bullet and like to me The Great Escape.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great movie, but I think his
Speaker 1: part of that's fantastic. Um. Yeah, Steve McQueen. No, no
Speaker 1: cooler guy has ever graced a movie screen. Perhaps All right, now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stream this Ballad of Buster Scrugs, the Coen
Speaker 1: Brothers anthology film that was released on Netflix and in
Speaker 1: select theaters. Um, I'm kind of mad at and see
Speaker 1: it in the theater. It was at the Plaza for
Speaker 1: another Plaza, the Midtown I just man that on the
Speaker 1: big screen it would have been really something else. It's beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautifully shot movie, beautifully shot movie. Did you love it?
Speaker 1: I did love it. There were some that I loved
Speaker 1: more than others. Of the of the six little vignettes
Speaker 1: or whatever you wanna call him. Um, but the one
Speaker 1: with the first one, the really funny one, the ballot
Speaker 1: of Buster scrub One's incredible. It's so funny and also
Speaker 1: really moving at the end. It's like, really really really good.
Speaker 1: The one with Tom Waits, I think is perfect. I
Speaker 1: think it's so beautiful. He's like this mountain man panting
Speaker 1: for gold and the streams somewhere and like looks like
Speaker 1: a painting. It's insane. Yeah, that's uh. Well. The first
Speaker 1: one is the Ballotbuster Scrugs with Tim Blake Nelson. The
Speaker 1: second one is near algadonis Um, which I've actually spent
Speaker 1: some time in Algadonas, Mexico. It's right over the border
Speaker 1: from Mima, where I lived. Um. That one had what's
Speaker 1: his face? Franco, James Franco, and uh, it was the
Speaker 1: shortest one and really like I don't want to give
Speaker 1: anything away, but I thought was just very Cohen's the
Speaker 1: most Cohen Brothers of them all. Perhaps it's a comedy
Speaker 1: of errors in tone, it's a total comedy of errors,
Speaker 1: you know, where everything goes wrong and then goes wrong
Speaker 1: again and then gets better and then goes back to Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really kind of funny, and they so much
Speaker 1: happens in such a tight, little compressed story. And I
Speaker 1: thought it was a band shot. Yeah, that was my
Speaker 1: favorite party band shot. This is great. The third one
Speaker 1: was a meal ticket. This one was it was a bummer.
Speaker 1: This was the one with Liam Neeson and I can't
Speaker 1: remember the actor's name, but the other guy that he
Speaker 1: worked with as sort of traveling Carney side nut carny
Speaker 1: but sideshow act um cool seeing Liam Neeson and something
Speaker 1: like that, though, you know, yeah, very understated role, Yeah,
Speaker 1: very little dialogue. Didn't kick anyone, didn't kick anyone to
Speaker 1: tell anybody with his it's weird how he became that thing.
Speaker 1: Well you did you hear what I just said? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what spoiler everyone, So if you haven't seen it, turn
Speaker 1: it off for twenty seconds. I said. Didn't kill anyone
Speaker 1: with his bare hands, but he did, Yeah he did,
Speaker 1: I know, But that was it was that was implied. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was implied, all right, everyone, we're backs. Uh, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that was good and really sort of for
Speaker 1: the Cohen's very kind of emotional, very somber, somber. And
Speaker 1: I actually watched it with my mom over Thanksgiving. Um,
Speaker 1: she doesn't really like movies. She's kind of a curmudgeon
Speaker 1: when it comes to this kind of stuff and that
Speaker 1: she always is suspicious when I'm like, you should watch this,
Speaker 1: She's like, right now, I don't know. I remember the
Speaker 1: Bachelor Party right right. And so she loved the ballot
Speaker 1: of Buster Scrogs one. She just thought that was so
Speaker 1: funny and yeah, right, and you know I told her,
Speaker 1: I was like, it's a little violent, you know, but
Speaker 1: she really liked it. And I skipped the second one
Speaker 1: because I know the third She loved the second one
Speaker 1: with Franco. I skipped the really sad one because I
Speaker 1: knew it would like you had already seen it. I
Speaker 1: skipped it because I was like, this one's too down.
Speaker 1: She doesn't like stuff like that. And then we moved
Speaker 1: right on to the set all Gold Canyon so beautiful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that one was so cool because not only is it
Speaker 1: you know Tom waits and it is so great to
Speaker 1: see him on the screen anytime, But uh, I didn't
Speaker 1: know how prospecting worked. I didn't, and to see that,
Speaker 1: it's so fucking It's all about like you digging holes. Dude,
Speaker 1: you're digging holes, but you're you're what's the word I'm
Speaker 1: looking for, You're zeroing in on something. Yeah, you're kind
Speaker 1: of using process of elimination to like figure out where
Speaker 1: the gold isn't to find out where it maybe is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: digging up dirt, putting it in a pan, swishing the
Speaker 1: water around and seeing how many little flecks are in
Speaker 1: there a hole, and then putting the flag in and Okay,
Speaker 1: this area is depleted, and then by process of elimination
Speaker 1: you find your way to the Mr Pocket. Yeah did
Speaker 1: the Motherload calls it Mr Pockets. So you're working your
Speaker 1: way out and if there's like less gold, you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, let me go back in this direction. But
Speaker 1: you're just digging holes. And that was so cool because
Speaker 1: of course I didn't either. It's really the procedure of
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and it was so like they didn't
Speaker 1: explain it. You just see it. Yeah, Yeah, it's that
Speaker 1: show not tell thing, you know, That's what the Cohens
Speaker 1: are great at Yeah, here's another thirty second spoiler, everyone,
Speaker 1: so tune out for thirty seconds after all that. You
Speaker 1: love this character so much and I was so mad
Speaker 1: when that guy shot him and had not worked for
Speaker 1: that goal. But it all worked out great, does work
Speaker 1: out great? All right, we're back from spoilers. Every spoilers.
Speaker 1: And that was less than thirty seconds. I love that
Speaker 1: owl scene too. That was really sweet. Everything about it.
Speaker 1: It's like it starts Tom Waits. It starts Tom Waits
Speaker 1: and an owl and a deer. Yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: so beautiful too, and just so like like you get it, Like, man,
Speaker 1: I could have been a prospector out there by myself.
Speaker 1: I'm beautiful land. Yeah, I think that. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it had a dog though, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. I don't know if he did the cinematography
Speaker 1: for all of them. I kind of feel like maybe
Speaker 1: they worked with some different people, but the cinematographer on
Speaker 1: that one was the guy that did Amalie. My friend
Speaker 1: was telling me that, so such a beautiful Film's very beautiful,
Speaker 1: and it's like very bloomy, kind of like the soft
Speaker 1: focused sunset kind of you just yeah, everything and it
Speaker 1: was the lush West that you don't see you see
Speaker 1: dusty West so much, and this was like so green
Speaker 1: and wyoming or something like that. Yeah, it's very very cool. Uh.
Speaker 1: The next one up was The Gal Who Got Rattled.
Speaker 1: This was probably my favorite one. Um, just so great storytelling,
Speaker 1: great story story tell And I think that the Cohen's
Speaker 1: had been writing these for like a long time, just
Speaker 1: kind of like on and off for fund zis or whatever.
Speaker 1: And I think they probably picked the best, their favorite.
Speaker 1: But I bet you there's more, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: more with these games. I'd love to see a part two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so great. Yeah, that one is just what was the
Speaker 1: actress's name who was in The Big Sick, Zoe Kazan.
Speaker 1: She's great. Yeah, she is so that face understated and
Speaker 1: and exsive. She can play so much with that really
Speaker 1: really great. Yeah, it was a wonderful movie. And the
Speaker 1: and the writing and that one and the acting. It
Speaker 1: was just so good. It was that sort of period
Speaker 1: of the West where people spoke really formally and uh,
Speaker 1: it was so good. I'm not going to spoil the
Speaker 1: It's got that Oregon trail back and train adventurous kind
Speaker 1: of spirit. Or whatever. I don't know, it's just it
Speaker 1: was a very touching and exciting little episode. I guess
Speaker 1: you call it. That one was a decent length. Actually,
Speaker 1: that one felt like it was. It was half hour almost.
Speaker 1: I think it was the longest one for sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then they finished up with The Mortal Remains, which
Speaker 1: was which was great and very talky and weird and
Speaker 1: sort of creepy, you know, that's the one. I was
Speaker 1: watching it with a friend and I kind of got
Speaker 1: distracted during that one. I was sort of up and down,
Speaker 1: like doing some kitchen and stuff, and I got confused
Speaker 1: when it came back, and I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: think I understand what this one's about. So I need
Speaker 1: to watch that one again. Watch it again and really
Speaker 1: really zero in on on these conversations because they're long.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's pretty great. It's, isn't it kind of
Speaker 1: a nod to the John Ford movie Stage Coach because
Speaker 1: it's all sort of like in this moving stage coach
Speaker 1: and he's kind of like a rag tag band of
Speaker 1: different types or whatever. Well, these are like, yeah, five strangers,
Speaker 1: you know, exactly so wonderful and a great way to
Speaker 1: end it too, and sort of that creepy sort of
Speaker 1: like what's going to happen? Way? All right, we're gonna finish.
Speaker 1: Check out the ballot of Buster Scrugs on Netflix everyone.
Speaker 1: We had a good Facebook discussion going about it too,
Speaker 1: so comic Cardinal five questions, Kevin Herban says, what would
Speaker 1: be a more telling trip through history watching all the
Speaker 1: best picture winners or each year's biggest box office earner?
Speaker 1: Good question, I guess, uh, it depends on what you
Speaker 1: mean by more telling. They would tell you two different things,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, Yeah, two different things that you could
Speaker 1: probably combine to give you a relatively pure perspective on
Speaker 1: like where people's heads were at the time. Totally That's
Speaker 1: a nice little experiment. Yeah, I would be an interesting experiment.
Speaker 1: But then again, sometimes the best picture gets it totally
Speaker 1: wrong too, And a lot of times, like isn't there's
Speaker 1: some elitism that goes into like that kind of Oscar
Speaker 1: and it's not even really like the way the public
Speaker 1: actually felt through the way. I wonder if they've ever
Speaker 1: aligned it's the top grossing film of the year ever,
Speaker 1: one best picture maybe like Schindler's Last Titanic that or Titanic. Yeah, Titanic,
Speaker 1: for sure. I wonder what else handful of times maybe,
Speaker 1: but it seems rare, especially these days, for sure, because
Speaker 1: we've talked about that. Or does that mean in case
Speaker 1: you're me and you're talking about just sort of it
Speaker 1: was me and Casey like, let's give you, you know,
Speaker 1: relative garbage all year long and then but just wait
Speaker 1: till November and December. Everyone, here's the good night. Here
Speaker 1: are good movies, whereas it used to be just all
Speaker 1: year long. Right, that's right, And there was shipped back
Speaker 1: then too, but just throughout the year. You would think
Speaker 1: we would have a great movie. Get it elsewhere now
Speaker 1: though we get it on Netflix. Yeah, we get in
Speaker 1: all these other avenues. It seems like we don't need
Speaker 1: you movies. Wait a minute, wrong show Now it's true.
Speaker 1: Will Burke says, if you could replace a single actor
Speaker 1: with another actor in a good movie to turn it
Speaker 1: into a great movie, would you trade out? That's a
Speaker 1: good question, will Uh, And I actually picked one out
Speaker 1: last night. You've heard me talk a lot about Gangs
Speaker 1: of New York and the my single problem with it,
Speaker 1: which was Cameron Diaz, whom I like, I just didn't
Speaker 1: think she was good for that role, and it took
Speaker 1: me out of it. So I imagine if you would
Speaker 1: have replaced if Gangs of New York had started Leonette,
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio and like Sarah Polly or Natalie Portman, like
Speaker 1: that would have been a totally great movie. Or maybe
Speaker 1: the one we were just talking about from Bustra Scrug Zoe, Well,
Speaker 1: this would have been like a child there, but this
Speaker 1: is like football because she would have been would have
Speaker 1: been yeah, or anybody, literally anybody Cameron did I just
Speaker 1: say anybody? I didn't mean that, like, I didn't mean
Speaker 1: it like that. What a dick? Anyone? Nol Laura Giles says,
Speaker 1: how does the movie business, which is in quotes, justify
Speaker 1: the salaries of a list actors? So many ways other
Speaker 1: than theaters to view movies? Would be hard press and
Speaker 1: name an actor who could guarantee a hit? That's true,
Speaker 1: but I mean, are you gonna give it to? But
Speaker 1: do you not think there's a formula or like a
Speaker 1: spreadsheet or something somewhere in some exects they can justify
Speaker 1: the salary their clients demands or whatever. You know, you
Speaker 1: a predicted box office take for a given set of
Speaker 1: people and directors and month it's in, time it's released.
Speaker 1: Genre like, well, this is probably a whatever undred and
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars and that can change too. It's like
Speaker 1: a stock, right, Like you do one bad movie and
Speaker 1: you start your process, start going down, your asking prices
Speaker 1: go down to yea yeah, or you can go away
Speaker 1: altogether entirely. But to answer your question, why the A
Speaker 1: list actors, Like, you know, people go see a Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey movie. I mean this is back when he was
Speaker 1: the top dog, but you go see him for Jim Carey,
Speaker 1: not for Courtney Cox as you know, the side character,
Speaker 1: or you know Zoe Deschanel, she's great, But people see
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey movies for Jim Carey, so he should get
Speaker 1: the most money. Does it feel like there are fewer
Speaker 1: names like that these days than there may be used
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, someone who can quote like carry a
Speaker 1: picture it and it's just like you know, you know
Speaker 1: who it is. It's like it's like the rock. We've
Speaker 1: got the Rock. I guess. So sure, these action guys,
Speaker 1: but it's always in the kind of action he type movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even know who like the biggest box office
Speaker 1: I mean, for a while it was like Will Smith,
Speaker 1: but he's sort of I don't think Stock is dropped.
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, i'd be curious. See you like
Speaker 1: the top people are I think it's the rock dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. And you know, like Julia Roberts at one
Speaker 1: point was, you know, a near guarantee for like a
Speaker 1: number one film, and now she's doing a mid sized
Speaker 1: m Hulu show for podcast. Yeah, I heard it's great.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen heard Homecoming. I heard it's really really good.
Speaker 1: I think Julia Roberts got to a point where she
Speaker 1: had had kind of done it all. I was like,
Speaker 1: I got kids now and I'm married, and I can
Speaker 1: kind of slow down and be super selected. Isn't she
Speaker 1: like New Mexico or something? I think Hollywood a long
Speaker 1: time great. Yeah, I'm sure she's just really picky about
Speaker 1: what she does now and that's why everything she does
Speaker 1: is pretty great. I bet she's really happy person. I
Speaker 1: bet she you know, she's just like that character and eat,
Speaker 1: pray love. I think she's a good person too, Oh,
Speaker 1: of course not. She's good good people. Gail Kunds, my
Speaker 1: old pal from Ohio. Gail says, what mistakes have you
Speaker 1: seen or noticed? In movies that you cannot not see anymore, um,
Speaker 1: she says. Example, there's a scene in Scream where Sydney
Speaker 1: is yelling a dewey but her mouth says no, So
Speaker 1: just a really bad audio dub dialogue dub. I've never
Speaker 1: noticed that. I've seen Scream so many times, Gail, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to. I imagine I will see and
Speaker 1: not be able to unsee it. But for me, it's
Speaker 1: the Star Wars. Obviously, the stormtrooper head bump going into
Speaker 1: the room. I cannot unsee that now, like in through
Speaker 1: the little the corridor on the ship or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you seen that? Right there on the Star Wars
Speaker 1: top a bunch of stormtroopers are filing through any boxes
Speaker 1: out on the the doorway is way funny. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: that might have been all they had, or maybe it
Speaker 1: went unnoticed because I didn't notice it the first twenty
Speaker 1: times I saw, of course, until the Internet came along.
Speaker 1: They're like, look at the stormtrooper. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: it is. For me, it's, um, the hidden sexy messages
Speaker 1: in Aladdin, there's like, it's it's you know, I would
Speaker 1: consider that more, I guess in Easter. I guess it's
Speaker 1: the kind of thing where you was it in the
Speaker 1: movie or on the cover. It was the no on
Speaker 1: the cover, head of no that that was. That was
Speaker 1: the Little Mermaid. Oh right, right right, Ye Little Mermaid
Speaker 1: had like a coral tower that looks like a like
Speaker 1: a dildo or something in um tower that looked like
Speaker 1: a coral tower. U t m um, that's a particular
Speaker 1: brand of dildo the Cool Time of Power. Did you
Speaker 1: just trademark that jet? So? So in Aladdin, there's a
Speaker 1: scene where Aladdin um kind of creepily goes onto Jasmine's
Speaker 1: balcony using the flying carpet and uh, the tiger kind
Speaker 1: of comes at him, right Rajah the tiger and you
Speaker 1: you hear him say good It's like you say good
Speaker 1: kitty like that. But what he's really saying is good
Speaker 1: teenagers take off their clothes. And it's in there and
Speaker 1: they probably have edited it out in subsequent releases. He
Speaker 1: says good teenagers take off their clothes, but it's like
Speaker 1: good like It's like it's like a hidden dubby message.
Speaker 1: I'm not do I sho you not, dude, look it
Speaker 1: up on snopes. It's a thing, Okay, once I discovered that,
Speaker 1: I could never not hear it. But it's the kind
Speaker 1: of thing that you could easily miss it entirely, but
Speaker 1: once you've heard it, you're gonna hear it every time.
Speaker 1: And it's it's really strange. Well, I think we should
Speaker 1: see if there's a clip. Surely it must exist. Someone's
Speaker 1: uploaded like a you know, VHS copy of this, because
Speaker 1: I know they got rid of it on the DVD
Speaker 1: reissues or the blue rays. It's a thing, my friend.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, if if we do have a clip,
Speaker 1: then uh, why don't we just play it right now?
Speaker 1: So how's our little bow doing? On goods? Take off?
Speaker 1: On goods? Take off? All right? Everyone? There it is.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. No, I did not know that
Speaker 1: was the thing? Was there another one? You said? All
Speaker 1: the things in a Laddin where they're more creepy messages
Speaker 1: or a lurid message. That was the one that that
Speaker 1: always stands out to me. But what a dumb thing
Speaker 1: to say to Yeah, but I mean there there's a
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of hidden things and creepy different Disney movies.
Speaker 1: And it was like, I think you were like blamed
Speaker 1: on some kind of rogue exactly that is now within
Speaker 1: the Trump administration exactly. All right. Finally, number five, Sue
Speaker 1: Robins says, what is your opinion of them making Break
Speaker 1: Bad into a movie? Um? I think it's great. I
Speaker 1: heard that news and I was super excited. How can that?
Speaker 1: How could that not be a good thing? Vince Gilligan
Speaker 1: and get the whole cast together again. I would I
Speaker 1: totally can't wait for a Breaking Bad movie. Why would
Speaker 1: it not be good? There's no reason would if it's
Speaker 1: a different story, if it's like, is it a prequel
Speaker 1: or a sequel or I don't know. I bet it's
Speaker 1: just that I don't I don't think anyone knows yet.
Speaker 1: And if Vince Gilligan's involved, he's writing it based on
Speaker 1: his world that he created, it's gonna be good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's like the Deadwood movie. It wouldn't have made it
Speaker 1: if there wasn't a reason to make it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think these these types of artists, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: The Deadwood movie is going to be amazing, and I
Speaker 1: think so with the Breaking Bad movie. Alright, so, good question.
Speaker 1: We're We're down with it. We are down with those films. Uh, So,
Speaker 1: thank you for tuning in this week everyone, and uh,
Speaker 1: I hope you have a nice rest of your week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm really not sure even what when. This has kind
Speaker 1: of come out so I can I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of something seasonal to say. Are we past Christmas at
Speaker 1: this point? Chuck? Do you think? I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it comes out on a Monday. Good. Well, I hope
Speaker 1: you guys had or we'll have a good Christmas. Yes,
