Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to movie crush. Chuck, are you okay?
Speaker 1: I am okay. It sounded like a robot that was
Speaker 1: like powering down. How great would that be? Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be fun just to be able to fully power down
Speaker 1: to do sleep mode for a minute. Yeah, because it's not.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I wake up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night if I'm stressed. I was up at five
Speaker 1: thirty this morning. If you could just literally power down
Speaker 1: right solid hour, just put on a timer so you
Speaker 1: can know what to expect. Really, well, last night, Chuck,
Speaker 1: did you I did? I went to bed at like
Speaker 1: nine thirty. Yeah, man, woke up early, took my kid
Speaker 1: to school. I'm here with you singing a song. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a good day. We haven't saying yet. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know I was up early. What are you gonna
Speaker 1: talk about this? But I'm gonna go ahead and mention it. Uh.
Speaker 1: I found out a friend of mine from college died
Speaker 1: last night. Died like a week ago. Yeah, And this
Speaker 1: was one of those deals where like I hadn't talked
Speaker 1: to him since then, but he was one of those
Speaker 1: guys I was like, well, and his name was Chuck too,
Speaker 1: which is why anyone in Athens calls me Chucky because
Speaker 1: of this guy, because he was there first and at
Speaker 1: this restaurant mix Kelly Grill. So I got hired and
Speaker 1: there was a Chuck, so they all call me Chucky.
Speaker 1: So any of my Athens old Athens friends still see
Speaker 1: me and call me Chucky, which is funny. Didn't get
Speaker 1: a choice in this matter. He didn't get a choice.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the other Chuck passed away like a week ago,
Speaker 1: and he was one of those guys where I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I will see Chuck again at some point,
Speaker 1: and you probably would have just picked right back up,
Speaker 1: picked right back up and had drinks and it would
Speaker 1: have been amazing. So sorry to hear that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're facilitating a reunion of that restaurant crew though
Speaker 1: slash memorial, which would be great. But then it's it's
Speaker 1: just that, like, man, why didn't we do it a year?
Speaker 1: That's also true anyway, Rest in peace, Mr Chuck Johnson, great,
Speaker 1: great man, my first like really close gay friend, like
Speaker 1: when I was just sort of coming away from church
Speaker 1: and meeting all sorts of great new people and exposing
Speaker 1: myself to like college life for real, sounds like a
Speaker 1: formative time. All right, everybody didn't mean to bum you
Speaker 1: out off the bat. Let's drink some whiskey and get
Speaker 1: to it. It's only nine, it's almost ten am. What's
Speaker 1: up with these bagels? She finally starts getting everything bagels,
Speaker 1: and she'll get six are those when everyone loves him?
Speaker 1: And then she'll get an absurd assort eighteen like weird
Speaker 1: spinach cream things. You're the only one, dude, because there's
Speaker 1: nineteen of them in there. I wonder do you ate
Speaker 1: that one? No? I don't even know what you're talking about. Um,
Speaker 1: I have noticed that it's quite an elaborate assortment, and
Speaker 1: I think that the ticket might just be to part
Speaker 1: down to the essentials, so that would be plain, yeah,
Speaker 1: everything everything, what whole wheat just because I don't know, No,
Speaker 1: I like god even no, No, I like a poppy seed,
Speaker 1: a poppy seed, garlic, garlic, bay garlic, poppy everything plain?
Speaker 1: And then what else? Um? I mean, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: a whole wheat for those them, what like whole wheat
Speaker 1: or the raisin like those people Someone told me they
Speaker 1: put smoked salmon cream cheese on a raisin cinnamon bagel,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you, sir, are a monster, yes,
Speaker 1: a madman. Indeed, what do we got today, Chuck? What's
Speaker 1: on the docket? On the docket, Knoll? We have? I
Speaker 1: wish I knew when this was coming out in real time,
Speaker 1: because we're actually ahead of the game. We're way ahead.
Speaker 1: We're gonna say so much dated ship. Yeah, but is
Speaker 1: it before Christmas? Is it after Christmas? Exactly? It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't even know who want to talk like, there's
Speaker 1: no tomorrow. All right, So social studies. We're going to
Speaker 1: start with social and uh, this is one that I've
Speaker 1: kept going from previous weeks on the old Facebook page.
Speaker 1: A memorable thing that happened to you in a movie
Speaker 1: going experience and not like I criad so hard during
Speaker 1: the notebook. I think I had a bummer story about
Speaker 1: a weird abusive dude that was yes, you did, absolutely
Speaker 1: and I had mind about the guy walking out of
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Dollhouse, like shaming everyone's day. So, uh,
Speaker 1: we'll start with an actually actually went through and pull
Speaker 1: these out last night, everybody, I was not lazy for
Speaker 1: a change, And so you won't hear me go which
Speaker 1: one should I pick? So we're gonna start off right
Speaker 1: away with Chloe. Uh wow, all of the names. It's
Speaker 1: always with the names. No, I wish sevenny. I still
Speaker 1: don't even know how to pronounce your last name either. Um.
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you about when I saw here
Speaker 1: we go already? Who was the guy in Brown Bunny,
Speaker 1: Vince gallow Gallo? I saw him on the street in
Speaker 1: New York once? Well, did we talk about this then?
Speaker 1: Maybe the day I saw him in three places in
Speaker 1: l A. He thought I was following him. He really did,
Speaker 1: Like you saw this look in his eye. At the
Speaker 1: third place, I saw that look in his eye. He
Speaker 1: was like, oh ship was this guy? Like? That's hilarious? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I bet you felt the same way. I was like,
Speaker 1: why is this Vincent Gallas following following me? No? I
Speaker 1: mean that'd be a creepy follow that would be so Chloe,
Speaker 1: where's he been? He's probably working on his next masterpiece,
Speaker 1: you know, in a dungeon with real fallacio in a film.
Speaker 1: Gotta have it crucial. So this is not Chloe's uh
Speaker 1: seven year think you don't know either. I always do
Speaker 1: the hard gegny all right, but this is not this
Speaker 1: is uh to see TuS No, this is what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say. Man, if only we had Casey Pegram Casey
Speaker 1: on the case. I know, dude, I just had him
Speaker 1: for the Shine, he told me, And we're going to
Speaker 1: do a Kubrick three parter, and Casey might just be
Speaker 1: my go to guy for like maybe ticking off like
Speaker 1: kur Sawa, absolutely any of the Criterion type stuff cases. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he can really talk intelligently about a movie, all right.
Speaker 1: Chloe says this. When I went to see the movie
Speaker 1: it the one from just last year, I was the
Speaker 1: only one in the cinema during the day, and halfway
Speaker 1: through the movie, a red balloon floated to the ceiling.
Speaker 1: I couldn't see anyone else in there, and I was
Speaker 1: genuinely freaked out for the rest of the movie. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that was like a leftover red balloon
Speaker 1: from some like premiere event. Many possibilities here. It could
Speaker 1: have just simply been under a seat and warmed its
Speaker 1: way out as it lost air until it was free
Speaker 1: enough to float, or it could have you know, passed
Speaker 1: over from the nether world. Sure, or it could have
Speaker 1: been someone just fucking with her. That's like I hide
Speaker 1: in the theater with red balloons during it and release them.
Speaker 1: That's crazy too that you would have been the only one.
Speaker 1: I guess during the day. You're more likely to have
Speaker 1: an empty theater during day, like on a week day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that happened to me during Overlord. The only person there
Speaker 1: was that any good. Well, here was the deal. I
Speaker 1: saw it. It wasn't really on my radar like at all.
Speaker 1: But I had a window and I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I got a window and go see a movie. And
Speaker 1: I looked up and that was the only thing playing
Speaker 1: during that window that was remotely interesting. So I was like, sure,
Speaker 1: I'll go see it. It It kind of like it wasn't
Speaker 1: Gorefest kind of a little bit. No, I mean it
Speaker 1: was sort of. It was a mash up, you know,
Speaker 1: World War two slash sort of sci fi, not zombie,
Speaker 1: but like you know, nazy experimenting on like super soldiers
Speaker 1: there damn Nazzies and the experiments. I ganked that from
Speaker 1: Ben Harrison. Love it from fires Nazzi. I love it. Well,
Speaker 1: that's how like an old grizzled war vel, which is
Speaker 1: he ganked that he didn't make that. I love it.
Speaker 1: That's great. That is terrifying. That that would have freak
Speaker 1: seen the the original that was on TV, which and
Speaker 1: you know if you revisit it now does not hold up.
Speaker 1: It is very cheesy. Tim Curry does a fine job
Speaker 1: as the clown, but that's pretty bad. That movie scared
Speaker 1: me shitless when I was a little kid, I had
Speaker 1: mega nightmares, sleepless nights for a long time because of this.
Speaker 1: So I can understand that that particular being killer clowns.
Speaker 1: All Right, Michael Griffith says this, Uh, this is very
Speaker 1: sweet story, Michael, and you got some some big hearts
Speaker 1: from from some of the ladies on the site. I
Speaker 1: was interested in a girl when she and I were
Speaker 1: much much younger. Our parents really disliked it. You see,
Speaker 1: we had grown up in an extremely fundamentalist Christian church
Speaker 1: and if we got caught, it would have been bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, like one or both of us shunned if
Speaker 1: caught bad, like a like shun shunned. I don't know.
Speaker 1: They were in high school, like this is what that
Speaker 1: that these things can happen? Oh yeah, I'm sure you know. Uh. Well,
Speaker 1: we found a way to see each other by seeing
Speaker 1: a movie. Uh, And he basically said they met the
Speaker 1: next county over and met separately, like, this is how
Speaker 1: bad they had to go? He said, it was very
Speaker 1: cloak and dagger. We saw super Bad and that was
Speaker 1: when I realized I had fallen in love for the
Speaker 1: very first time. We ended up getting married twelve years later.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. How about that? That's really nice? And then
Speaker 1: oh what nothing? Oh thank god? I was about to
Speaker 1: get so dark? How could you do that? My head
Speaker 1: frame slightly dark? Sorry, I understand. That's a story. That
Speaker 1: is a really sweet story. And super Bad is a
Speaker 1: good litmus test movie because it's pretty pretty raunchy, and
Speaker 1: it's got some refs. You know, it's got some yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. So you're like looking out of the corner.
Speaker 1: I see if she's clutching her pearls or well, or
Speaker 1: getting the refs or getting the refs. If there's that
Speaker 1: look of recognition duking the stats, I gotta do it.
Speaker 1: You gotta doke it. Baird Williams Swedman says, I was
Speaker 1: in late grade school, early junior high at the movie
Speaker 1: with my friends. We got our seats well before the
Speaker 1: movie started, and I found a skittle on an arm
Speaker 1: rest and ate it. My friend exclaimed, what if someone
Speaker 1: got butt naked and farted on that. It was so
Speaker 1: funny to me that my friend thought this was the
Speaker 1: plau sible scenario. And I still laugh about it today.
Speaker 1: I love that that is very specific. I love an
Speaker 1: old joke like that that you still kind of laugh
Speaker 1: at twenty something and you just remember, Okay, that's great,
Speaker 1: got naked, butt naked and farted in the theater. It
Speaker 1: sounds like something my daughter, presumably during the matinee on
Speaker 1: a weekday no one was around. My daughter would totally
Speaker 1: do that. She parts on me constantly, so is mine.
Speaker 1: It's great at the point where I'm annoyed by it
Speaker 1: because she's like ten, yeah, they think it's I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's not cute anymore, kid, You're like, right, come on, Ruby,
Speaker 1: says Tuti booty Um. I took her to see The Grinch,
Speaker 1: by the way, movie number three for her, was it okay? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, probably lacked some of the magic. It should
Speaker 1: have been like better to me, like, I'm right in
Speaker 1: that wheelhouse of nostalgia and Dr SEUs love and Grinch love,
Speaker 1: and it was just okay. I mean, it looked great.
Speaker 1: But the problem with that story is it's the same
Speaker 1: with like the Jim Carey thing. The book is so
Speaker 1: short you have to flesh it out with some other
Speaker 1: story that you're inventing about the gridge more like pad
Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, so it's never quite right. It was
Speaker 1: all right though for kids. It was great when he
Speaker 1: said an episode of Ridiculous History, um plug me and
Speaker 1: Ben Boland's Silly History show about Dr Seuss, and I
Speaker 1: learned some cool stuff about man. He's on our he's
Speaker 1: been on our list for like five years on stuff
Speaker 1: you should know, and I just never have gotten around him. Right,
Speaker 1: we just did well. The main story was the fact
Speaker 1: that he wrote green eggs and ham on a bet
Speaker 1: and then it only has fifty distinct words, fifty unique words,
Speaker 1: And that was the bat was just like, can you
Speaker 1: make something that kids will read and that is actually
Speaker 1: engaged with interesting and only us fifty words and cat
Speaker 1: and had only had like two fifty words. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a very interesting guy. He also did some very problematic,
Speaker 1: quite racist cartoons early in his career, and he worked
Speaker 1: for an ad agency and did some real kind of
Speaker 1: creepy ad campaign drawings. If he were making ads fifties,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, like you were bound to do something and
Speaker 1: one of them was from for mosquito repellents. A lot
Speaker 1: of it involved being in foreign lands looking not not
Speaker 1: good copy of that not a good look? Sam, I
Speaker 1: am yeah, all right. Teresa Barker says this, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is pretty funny. I was peeing before the show with
Speaker 1: my daughter waiting outside the stall when we noticed that
Speaker 1: there were urinals and a boy from her school walked
Speaker 1: in just as we were running out. We still laugh
Speaker 1: about that. Have you ever done that? Uh? I feel
Speaker 1: like I have, but I don't remember specifically, but I know,
Speaker 1: like for sure i've full on like walked into our
Speaker 1: women's bathroom before and been like, oh shit. The thing
Speaker 1: is nowadays, if it's like a bar or something like that,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much understood that either one is is in play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there and there are a lot many of them
Speaker 1: these days are just marked back for sure. But now
Speaker 1: I remember it when as in high school, that's when
Speaker 1: it would be bad because when you just kind of
Speaker 1: are like, you know, whistling along and not really paying
Speaker 1: attention and then you just kind of barge into the
Speaker 1: bathroom and then yeah, it would be problematic. Today, it
Speaker 1: all depends on how you handle it today though, even
Speaker 1: it's as like you can still get away with that
Speaker 1: if you were genuinely like, oh my god, I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry and ran out. But if you were like, oh
Speaker 1: sorry ladies, but but how you doing? Okay? First, Chuck,
Speaker 1: who would who would ever do that? Do you know
Speaker 1: this person? Who are these people? Yeah? In the least
Speaker 1: sexy place in the world is a bathroom at a bar.
Speaker 1: Not good? Not a good look? All right, Lee Daily,
Speaker 1: this is wonderful. I don't know if Lee is a
Speaker 1: man or it is a woman, actually, because on Facebook
Speaker 1: the profile pick was um of somebody else entirely. So Lee,
Speaker 1: whoever you are, whatever gender you identify with, I like,
Speaker 1: what what kind of game you're throwing down here? Lee?
Speaker 1: To the theater that had table service, Noll drank a
Speaker 1: picture of beer and passed out during Pineapple Express uh,
Speaker 1: and only got woken up by the guy sitting next
Speaker 1: to me, Uh, telling me I was snoring. That's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: That's a fear I have. Have I told you that
Speaker 1: I kind of sometimes fall asleep during movies. Uh? Sure,
Speaker 1: the theater? What's your fear? And I do it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think people might be prone to snore
Speaker 1: when they're like in an uncomfortable position. I don't go
Speaker 1: to like nine o'clock movies. I won't do it. That'll happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a matten a guy only at this point in
Speaker 1: my life, just because that's when I have the time.
Speaker 1: Every now and then i'll go to Emily and now
Speaker 1: for some reason we'll go to like a date night
Speaker 1: movie and it's weird to go to a night movie.
Speaker 1: That's how seldom I go to night movies. I was
Speaker 1: never a midnight moving either, really you. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: done it before if it's really like something interesting that
Speaker 1: I really want to see, but it's I never really
Speaker 1: had the opportunity growing up, first of all. But you know,
Speaker 1: in recent years when I've been traveling more, I've seen
Speaker 1: a couple of cool midnight movies. But it's always a
Speaker 1: slog for me, dude. I always am like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: gotta drink coffee, or like, yeah, at midnight you probably
Speaker 1: had a couple of drinks and exactly like way past Yeah,
Speaker 1: not for me. Cuttle Cats Cuddlefish to the Second oil
Speaker 1: Age Kingdom with whorl of Darkness. I don't dispute the eurostata,
Speaker 1: but if he's down here we know not blood but darkness.
Speaker 1: The Earth's black riches. No, I could taste it on
Speaker 1: my lips. Today, I want to talk to you about
Speaker 1: the science of transgenesis, tiens genesis dot show. Bridget this
Speaker 1: is short and sweet, Bridget ben Alicia uh said this.
Speaker 1: I saw our priest at Anaconda enough said, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I never saw my preacher. It's it's probably about the
Speaker 1: same as senior priest. Priest is a little more elevated.
Speaker 1: The priest does he go to do the movies in
Speaker 1: the robes? Do they wear the robes a collar? They
Speaker 1: wear the collar? Maybe I don't know the rules. I
Speaker 1: think they wear the collar, but I've seen the collar
Speaker 1: on like airplanes and stuff. Watching a movie on a plane.
Speaker 1: There you go. Was it anaconda? Anaconda? That's pretty funny though,
Speaker 1: of all the movies, you know, the priest is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna spoil anaconda real quick. Um, the the c
Speaker 1: g I snake vomits up what's his name? Was it
Speaker 1: ice Cube or John John Voight? He bombits up John
Speaker 1: voy and then he winks he's like half alive and
Speaker 1: he's covered in like Anaconda Slime. Can you believe the
Speaker 1: cast in that movie? John Ice Cube, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 1: It's just like sta I forgot. Owen Wilson was like quality,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. Except for Jennifer Lopez, She's fine. Have you
Speaker 1: seen Out of Sight? Oh? Well that was great. Sure,
Speaker 1: so give someone the material, That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you may be right. Have you seen the new trailer
Speaker 1: for a new movie coming out? Oh? God, what's it called?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It looks like the worst studio schlock
Speaker 1: of all studio schlock about a woman who like accidentally
Speaker 1: looks into, like tricks her way into like a CEO job.
Speaker 1: It's not qualified, but of course hijinks will ensue the
Speaker 1: over qualified. She's good at it. Okay, it's probably called
Speaker 1: over qualified. Maybe it's called like the CEO no less original.
Speaker 1: I'm ray to find out about this all right. Here
Speaker 1: we go with Eleanor Gamolski. When I was ten, I
Speaker 1: saw Finding Nemo in the theaters, and the moment the
Speaker 1: movie started, already had to pee as a ten year old,
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to miss a moment of that movie,
Speaker 1: so I never got up to pee by the end.
Speaker 1: It was almost unbearable, especially in a movie about water.
Speaker 1: But I made it. And I remember thinking, at ten
Speaker 1: years old, if I ever have to be really bad again,
Speaker 1: I can remember sitting through finding Nemo without being and
Speaker 1: that will give me strength. And I still to this
Speaker 1: day think about that. When I have to hold my beat,
Speaker 1: that's pretty great. You gotta psych yourself out. I love it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Emily D says. When my family and I went to
Speaker 1: see Signs I was, it was a crowded theater and
Speaker 1: during one of the most serious and quiet scenes, some
Speaker 1: drunk guy let out a huge fart. It was hilarious
Speaker 1: farts in the comments today. I know I had a guy,
Speaker 1: A p A I worked with and I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: tell you who he is because he actually went on
Speaker 1: this is You know PA's are always like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to direct or whatever. This guy actually directed a
Speaker 1: very high profile movie. Um it was a big flop
Speaker 1: and it has He hasn't done much since, I don't think,
Speaker 1: but he did it with two Hollywood acting legends in
Speaker 1: the lead. I gotta guess what it is now. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do it out loud, but A p A
Speaker 1: and as a p A was here and he was
Speaker 1: he was always like, yeah, I'm going to be a director,
Speaker 1: and we're like, yeah, yeah, we all are. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a podcaster, Like what the funk is that?
Speaker 1: I didn't even exist yet. So yeah, this guy would
Speaker 1: fart and it was the funniest thing to me. He
Speaker 1: would fart out loud in among people, like we'd be
Speaker 1: in the production office. I don't know if he would
Speaker 1: do it in front of strangers, but these were people
Speaker 1: he didn't know well, but he did it like was
Speaker 1: it about comedic timing? Was it for for you? And
Speaker 1: he would walk up and everyone sort of cutting up
Speaker 1: or whatever, and he would lift his leg and just
Speaker 1: ripping lift his legs. Yeah, and like a dog almost
Speaker 1: across the board. We would laugh, like there might be
Speaker 1: one person that's like, what are you doing, dude? But
Speaker 1: I was always like, I can't believe the balls it
Speaker 1: takes to just fart like that, like you're in front
Speaker 1: of your like, you know, probably the same balls it
Speaker 1: takes to direct a big budget maybe so flood. Oh god,
Speaker 1: he's got to roll the dice you to look him up.
Speaker 1: I wonder what he is doing Phil Yates said, I
Speaker 1: dropped a tab of acid and went alone to a
Speaker 1: midday showing of the Matrix on the day it opened.
Speaker 1: No one else in the cinema. What that may be
Speaker 1: the acid? The matrix was not empty on day one.
Speaker 1: It was a day one, that's what he said. That's
Speaker 1: the day it opened. Uh. And when I walked out
Speaker 1: into the sunlight afterward, I could see the matrix myself.
Speaker 1: How about that fill the thrill? Oh man, that's that's great.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good story, all right. And finally number ten,
Speaker 1: Tim van Gin says a woman climbed on stage just
Speaker 1: before the movie started and said this was her way
Speaker 1: of confronting her fears to be in public places. Three
Speaker 1: people slow clapped, and the rest of the audience was unresponsive. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's funny on so many levels. I think it's very
Speaker 1: brave and like kind of awesome it is, but it's
Speaker 1: also kind of like, yay, we're part of your your thing.
Speaker 1: Good for you, lady. I can definitely sense ambivalence among
Speaker 1: most people. Yeah, I think you're just a better person
Speaker 1: than most people. Check. Oh, I don't know about that. No, no,
Speaker 1: I get it, But like, surely there are ways to
Speaker 1: confront this, you know, in therapy with role playing, or
Speaker 1: don't inconvenience. A whole crowdful of people wanted to watch.
Speaker 1: You know. If I was there, I would have said,
Speaker 1: I would have stood up and said, well, you know what,
Speaker 1: I was a late bedwinter and maybe act see if
Speaker 1: I could get something going like that. I almost just
Speaker 1: spit my coffee out of my mouth just then. Check
Speaker 1: that was really funny. I was a late bedwinter. Does
Speaker 1: that mean you started late or you you kept going
Speaker 1: from now? I kept going. I went to bed till
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, it would be funny if a
Speaker 1: late bedwinter was someone that just started weding the bed
Speaker 1: there in their thirties, you know, right, well, I'm sure
Speaker 1: that happens for like political reasons. Well, um, I don't
Speaker 1: remember how old it was, but I was like ten,
Speaker 1: it was old. Yeah, my dad was, My granddad was
Speaker 1: totally genetic. Interesting. Uh yeah, I've talked about on STUFFIA know,
Speaker 1: quite a bit. I feel like I'm trying to destroy
Speaker 1: the shame of that for nuts out there. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is no shame. I mean, it's just the thing
Speaker 1: that happens and then it kind of stops then it
Speaker 1: just thoughts like a psychological I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm sure someone could speak to that, but I think
Speaker 1: I did till I was at least six or seven.
Speaker 1: Oh well that's late. Yeah, yeah, look at us. We're
Speaker 1: bed wedding Bros. Bed Wedders, bed Wedders Unite. Indeed, stream
Speaker 1: this everybody, no old have you? Do you have Amazon Prime?
Speaker 1: I do? Have you ever? Just sort of searched through there.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they're labeled classic movies, but
Speaker 1: just there the catalog stuff. Yeah, they got a bunch
Speaker 1: of good schlocky horror stuff. They got aunch off. They
Speaker 1: really do, like they really quality classic films. So Emily
Speaker 1: and I watched Clute Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. I've
Speaker 1: not even heard of this in the nineteen seventy two
Speaker 1: Ellen j Pacula film Clute kale Ut. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: a you never even heard of it? Well, Jane Fonda
Speaker 1: want an Academy Award for it for Best Actress, And um,
Speaker 1: I didn't know Jane Fond had an Academy Award. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: this is the story of a a woman, a sex
Speaker 1: worker in New York. Who is it New York? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so a sex worker who uh is a
Speaker 1: sort of a freelancer, you know she doesn't you know,
Speaker 1: work with a uh a business manager as they say, so, Um,
Speaker 1: a high profile um former John of hers goes missing,
Speaker 1: like the CEO of a company, and they a detective
Speaker 1: who is Donald Sutherland. He sort of takes us on,
Speaker 1: uh is hired by the company. Uh believes that she
Speaker 1: has the key because he was a former john to
Speaker 1: how he might have disappeared. So that's all. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: A very good movie, very suspenseful, super seventies like suspense film. Yeah, this,
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this era. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the poster of this with Donald Sutherland. Have you seen
Speaker 1: that movie? Don't look now? Oh yes I have. That's
Speaker 1: a serious movie. That's a serious movie. That's but that's
Speaker 1: around the same seventies my period and the same age
Speaker 1: he's he's rocking it. But that one is just like
Speaker 1: so upsetting and also beautiful and just amazing. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a mystery, it's a tragedy, it's sort of
Speaker 1: a ghost story. It's like all of these things. Um,
Speaker 1: this looks incredible, Chuck, really very good. And um his
Speaker 1: name is Clute in the movie. I think John Clute maybe,
Speaker 1: And I was a sort of immediate immediately annoyed afterward though,
Speaker 1: because I've always heard Clute and always figured that was
Speaker 1: Jane Fonda, and especially after seeing the film, it is
Speaker 1: her story for sure. It is a woman's story about Uh.
Speaker 1: They are all these great, long, long monologue, single shot,
Speaker 1: single take monologues of her talking to her therapist about
Speaker 1: her job and how she feels about it, and she
Speaker 1: feels about herself, and then she feels about men and sex.
Speaker 1: This just fucking awesome, man, Like, really some of the
Speaker 1: best should've scene. And they named the movie Clute at
Speaker 1: Donald Sutherland's character, which I mean, he was sort of
Speaker 1: a misnomer, Like, yeah, it's just like it was her movie,
Speaker 1: and I think maybe I couldn't help but think it
Speaker 1: was because it was a time in the United States
Speaker 1: where well, Donald Sutherland's in it, it's his film. Well,
Speaker 1: for the record, I would have been like, what the
Speaker 1: fund is a clute? Sure, I don't know, I see
Speaker 1: that name. I didn't even think it was a person's name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's a clue? Did they get cluded? First? I thought
Speaker 1: you said clue included? So hard people love Clue. By
Speaker 1: the way, that movie Clue, they didn't you have You
Speaker 1: had a guest Casey Wilson and people. Yeah, got good
Speaker 1: response from that. I did a big screening of it
Speaker 1: recently and they sold out like two screenings of it
Speaker 1: at the Plaza. The movie. I didn't realize it was
Speaker 1: such a like a cult smash. There's a great article
Speaker 1: I'll send you. Um, I can't remember. Maybe it was Slate,
Speaker 1: but it's about like how Clue became a you know,
Speaker 1: sort of a cult phenomenon over the years. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have not seen it. I'm gonna have to so much.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch Clute and Clue. It is so much fun. Clue.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known to have been playing
Speaker 1: in the theater. I would have totally gone to that.
Speaker 1: Had a little Movie Crush meet up all right. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, everyone Movie Crush live in San Francisco
Speaker 1: for a sketch fest. Please come see me in conversation
Speaker 1: with Busy Phillips about the Great Grade and the Noah
Speaker 1: Bomback film Kicking and Screaming. And that will be January
Speaker 1: nineteen at the Gateway Theater. It's a Mattenee Saturday afternoon. Please.
Speaker 1: I love Mattenee's. I'll be good. I won't even be
Speaker 1: drunk at that point. It will be wonderful. Finally, we're
Speaker 1: gonna finish an old today with Comic Card because we've
Speaker 1: been given that short shrift lately. Drew Ethier says this,
Speaker 1: if you could spend a night drinking with one director,
Speaker 1: living or dead, who would it be and what would
Speaker 1: you talk about? That's a that's specific. That's much more
Speaker 1: than even dinner. Yeah, if you're out drinking drinking, like immediately,
Speaker 1: my mind just goes to some sort of legendary drinkers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like like john Ford, Yeah, or even like Oliver Stone.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get drunk with Aliver Oliver Stone would
Speaker 1: be fun. Or with the ultimate fucking You'd probably be
Speaker 1: smoking peyote with Oliver Stone exactly. Now, that'd be different, jeez.
Speaker 1: Of all the directors though, that's tough. That's a tough
Speaker 1: one because I can think of, like, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to be someone that it would be fun to have
Speaker 1: conversation with. I wouldn't you know, you wouldn't be someone
Speaker 1: you would like fanboy out with or whatever, but it
Speaker 1: would be someone not even talk about their work, just
Speaker 1: someone who you could probably like five with and have
Speaker 1: a good night out chatting with. Yeah, like Terry Gillim
Speaker 1: or something that. See there you go. There would be
Speaker 1: fun to go to pub in England with Terry gill Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's amazing. Um, all that Monty Python stuff is up
Speaker 1: on Netflix now, like all the movies, the whole Flying
Speaker 1: Circus thing, and a lot of these little kind of
Speaker 1: clip um compilations with different celebrities and comics kind of
Speaker 1: talking about their favorite It's on Netflix all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So there's like maybe there's like an early Python documentary
Speaker 1: that's like about their days in university when they met,
Speaker 1: and there's tons of little like the best of blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. And there's something that really highlight all Terry
Speaker 1: Gilliam's animation that he did for that show, and you
Speaker 1: forget what a creative dude that guy has been for
Speaker 1: like ever and how he's just still making It happened,
Speaker 1: legend that don Quixote movies finally happened. They talked about
Speaker 1: this already, I think so, but I think I read
Speaker 1: I heard somewhere that it got shut down again. But
Speaker 1: then I read somewhere that like, no, it's it is
Speaker 1: gonna come out, Adam d. They're gonna have to make
Speaker 1: a second documentary about yeah, about the making of La
Speaker 1: Mancha exactly. Cheeze. I I stand with that pick, Chuck.
Speaker 1: I think Terry Gilliam would be, oh yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1: I think everyone wants to see that thing except anyone
Speaker 1: who wants to pay for it. Yep, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is meant Uh. I think that's a solid pick
Speaker 1: for a drink. Yeah. Yeah, maybe let's let's go with
Speaker 1: him the three of us. Well, we'll go up be fun.
Speaker 1: Like I love the Cohen brothers, but they're sort of
Speaker 1: notoriously uh just sort of serious. Yeah, and just sort
Speaker 1: of I mean my friend worked, my really good friend
Speaker 1: worked on I think Hail Caesar, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh god, dream job, dream job. He was like they
Speaker 1: were kind of a bummer man. It's like they just
Speaker 1: sat by themselves at lunch and they didn't they didn't interact.
Speaker 1: They were just very much like quietly spoke to one
Speaker 1: another and you know, probably just working there. They're like
Speaker 1: they're like, no, I know it probably have like twin language.
Speaker 1: You know, they probably like I wouldn't want to go
Speaker 1: out drinking with those Absolutely not, but you never know,
Speaker 1: you never know. I'm sure Ethan he's dancing on the bar.
Speaker 1: Frantis mcdormott seems like she knows how to have a
Speaker 1: good time. Well, that's what I wonder, because she's great,
Speaker 1: and she would be married to adult. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he's adult. Oh my god, so much for having them on. Uh.
Speaker 1: Nick Jackson says this and all, what was the last
Speaker 1: movie that made you sob? And I don't mean a
Speaker 1: gentle cry, I mean blubbering, sloppy mess. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm capable of a blubbering sloppy mess anymore. But
Speaker 1: I cried when I watched Adaptation for the most recent time,
Speaker 1: nice boy. I think the last time I cried like
Speaker 1: that was during uh Lion. No, it was the Mr.
Speaker 1: Rogers documentary watched on the plane, and I was actually
Speaker 1: I was too, but I tried. I was trying so
Speaker 1: hard not to be too like outwardly emotional in front
Speaker 1: of everyone, so I contained a little bit. I watched
Speaker 1: Lion at my house. Have you seen that now? But
Speaker 1: the Little Boy isn't about a little boy? Oh my god? Yes.
Speaker 1: In adoption and like all these things at home. For me,
Speaker 1: it was just like, hello, chuck, we'd like to reduce
Speaker 1: you to slimy mess on the floor. Here's I can't
Speaker 1: picture this, chuck. Oh my god. No, I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a legendary cry I'm one of the best. I'm part
Speaker 1: of I kind of get like a little you know,
Speaker 1: tens up a little bit, but I sort of like it.
Speaker 1: I think it's I find I mean, when it's a
Speaker 1: movie and it's something moving, it's awesome, and I really
Speaker 1: it makes me feel human absolutely. Um Timothy Patrick McKinney.
Speaker 1: Timothy Patrick McKinney, what in your opinion have or why sorry,
Speaker 1: why in your opinion have movies become such an important
Speaker 1: part of our culture is, particularly in America, over many
Speaker 1: other types of art forms. That's a very good question, Timothy. Um, Well,
Speaker 1: I think a bunch of things. I think the catharsis
Speaker 1: of it losing yourself for a couple of hours. Maybe
Speaker 1: in America people are busy and they check out a
Speaker 1: little bit more uh enthusiastically. Well, what was the I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: what was the movies in America? Especially? Why did they
Speaker 1: become like the sort of dominant art form over like
Speaker 1: other types of art. I think because it's like you said,
Speaker 1: like it's um it's sort of compressed, right, you can
Speaker 1: get your money's worth in two hours and then you've
Speaker 1: had this like experience or whatever you can. We're like
Speaker 1: all pressed for time. It's like we want to be
Speaker 1: able to get our Catharsis in to without too much commitment,
Speaker 1: you know, two hours or time commitment. I also think
Speaker 1: in terms of prestige, it's just because they're so damn expensive,
Speaker 1: and it's just like a you know, money matters. This
Speaker 1: is a thing. This is like, this is the highest
Speaker 1: form of art because of the fact that it costs
Speaker 1: so fucking much to make. Therefore, promoted thus and marketing
Speaker 1: therefore it must be the best. You know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I'm cynically market marketing and promotion of a lot
Speaker 1: to do with it. I mean, you don't see art
Speaker 1: museums pouring in, you know, fifteen million dollars on a
Speaker 1: on a new exhibit in marketing, you know, totally. And
Speaker 1: they'll have some banners around New York here and there,
Speaker 1: but not like movie marketing. They're gonna take over the
Speaker 1: side of the building. Oh they might in New York
Speaker 1: that's true. There are other reasons too, though, Oh absolutely,
Speaker 1: Like that's selling that question super short. I think, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think it's it's it's the crystallization
Speaker 1: of a lot of different art forms, which is cool.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's visual, it's it's audio, it's music,
Speaker 1: it's it's sound, it's action, it's it's you know, drama.
Speaker 1: It's like all of you know, it's art. It's literally
Speaker 1: people build things and display, you know, make sets, and
Speaker 1: it's like all of this combination of like every pissable
Speaker 1: art and one pretty easily consumable thing. Oh, that is
Speaker 1: very well said. I didn't think about that. It's got music,
Speaker 1: it's got a painting. Everything interesting. I love that. Plus,
Speaker 1: I would not I would argue that it's he does
Speaker 1: say particularly in American culture, but I think in Europe
Speaker 1: and oh it is everywhere of course in Asia, like
Speaker 1: a lot of these When I first started hearing about,
Speaker 1: like the Chan Wook Park films and like Old Boy
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, like that, dude's like a god
Speaker 1: over there, Like those movies made so much money before
Speaker 1: in the history of it even heard of them, of
Speaker 1: course the history. Yeah, but Casey, you talked to you
Speaker 1: about the shining Um goes to France every year and
Speaker 1: see if we talked about that sees all the can
Speaker 1: films or whatever, and it's just like a way of
Speaker 1: life over there, you know. And I would argue that
Speaker 1: it's we have the blockbuster side of it over here,
Speaker 1: but then just more the the high art side of
Speaker 1: it was still you know, it's a little over here
Speaker 1: where there, it's a little more like that's that's what
Speaker 1: it is, you know. Yeah. Uh Number four Trish Lauterhoss
Speaker 1: Gilbrith say, is this what what is it about Atlanta?
Speaker 1: This helped turn it into a mini Hollywood. Well, first
Speaker 1: and foremost, the tax credit is the tax credit, and
Speaker 1: don't you think cynically that is the sole reason why
Speaker 1: production started coming to Atlanta. They did a good job
Speaker 1: with it because it's like a lot of money back
Speaker 1: if you shoot here that they can save. But I
Speaker 1: will say this, if Atlanta didn't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: of other things going for it, it would not have
Speaker 1: lasted well. It has a very varied landscape too. It's
Speaker 1: that's that's shot in the woods. You can shoot in
Speaker 1: a city looking place for New York. You can play
Speaker 1: a lot of different places played for Middle America, suburbs, mountains,
Speaker 1: go outside of town, the ocean, whatever, got everything. Of
Speaker 1: course that's Atlanta versus you know, Georgia, but they based
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta. They based out of Atlanta, but the
Speaker 1: Atlanta is so central you can get to like a
Speaker 1: lot of these like you know, like Crawfordville for example,
Speaker 1: or like some of these little towns like you know,
Speaker 1: hundred years ago. Yeah, absolutely, so there's that the text
Speaker 1: credits why they come. But then you can shoot a
Speaker 1: lot of different places. The I think the stable of
Speaker 1: cruise in Atlanta before, like a lot of people have
Speaker 1: moved here from l A to work, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people just come here to work and then go
Speaker 1: back to l A. But that's core crew of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Crew that I used to work with before the movie
Speaker 1: business got super huge, was always very strong and like
Speaker 1: that good foundation, like you're not gonna go anywhere where
Speaker 1: the crew suck. And Atlanta always had a rep for
Speaker 1: working a little slower because we're in the South, but um,
Speaker 1: the crews are always really good. And now the infrastructures there,
Speaker 1: they've built studios and lighting houses and wardrobe shops and
Speaker 1: prop shops and all the ship that you used to
Speaker 1: have to kind of truck in from l A. You
Speaker 1: don't have to do that anymore. It's very true. It's
Speaker 1: all there now. Yeah it is. And I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know, cost of living is pretty decent costively, it is.
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, that's sort of the double
Speaker 1: edged sort of this. Now that all this stuff's coming in,
Speaker 1: all this money's coming in, are starting to get priced
Speaker 1: out of their neighborhoods and stuff, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of pretty rampant gentification happening when the people that used
Speaker 1: to just truck in from l A now to's they
Speaker 1: want to buy a house and they want to live
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. Yeah, Emily and I when we were
Speaker 1: looking you know where, we had to rent a house
Speaker 1: right now because we're working on our home. Uh there
Speaker 1: are uh ads for like house rentals that are clearly
Speaker 1: geared towards production people. And you can tell for two
Speaker 1: reasons because one they flat out say, like your production
Speaker 1: because a great house. And then it's like literally double
Speaker 1: what house rental should be. I mean, they're jacking it
Speaker 1: so high, it's like you would not believe it. Like
Speaker 1: five and six thousand dollars a month to rent a house.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, crazy. We did not get one of those houses, clearly. Uh.
Speaker 1: And finally Vanessa Cashman says, what are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the last shot of the Graduate when they run off
Speaker 1: and get on the bus their faces? Do you think
Speaker 1: they made a mistake? What was intended by the director? Well?
Speaker 1: That's a world famous, legendary shot is the end of
Speaker 1: the Graduate. When Elaine and Ben climb on that bus
Speaker 1: go to the back. He has just uh spoiler if
Speaker 1: you haven't seen The Graduate, turn it off. He has
Speaker 1: just sort of rescued her slash hijacked her from her
Speaker 1: own wedding and they run off together and she's in
Speaker 1: her wedding dress. And then they just sit there and
Speaker 1: like are kind of laughing at first you've seen it, right,
Speaker 1: And then that laughter turns into sort of just like
Speaker 1: it's like, what do we do now? Yeah? And they're
Speaker 1: both sort of just looking off in the distance like
Speaker 1: it's also like I don't know you, yeah, Like we
Speaker 1: got caught up in this grand romantic gesture. We don't
Speaker 1: know each other at all. What do we do now?
Speaker 1: But it happened so fast, like the look that they
Speaker 1: give them the bus I always felt was like the
Speaker 1: look that you have a week later, and they had
Speaker 1: it immediately. But isn't that also what elevates that beyond
Speaker 1: just like the super Sacharin happy ending kind of situation
Speaker 1: that's like totally unrealistic. It grounds it in like very
Speaker 1: much you know, experience or whatever, because I can, I
Speaker 1: can relate to that. Yeah, grounds in reality gives it
Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge. Yeah, it's easy to
Speaker 1: get swept up in grand romantic gestures, the idea of
Speaker 1: of love and stuff as opposed to like the function
Speaker 1: of like being in a relationship with somebody. You know.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because you in movies you always see the
Speaker 1: the you know, running beside the train and then they
Speaker 1: jump off and hug and you always see the big moment,
Speaker 1: and I always wonder, like what happens five minutes later,
Speaker 1: And in this case, they showed that absolutely very interesting. Now,
Speaker 1: that's that's a good question and a good shot, good one, Vanessa,
Speaker 1: all right, No, that's it. That was a good chuck.
Speaker 1: That's how long was that? And counting? I thought like
Speaker 1: we were gibber jabbin. I don't know, it's possible, all right, well,
Speaker 1: thanks for listening to Ramsey sorted Out. Yeah, we'll see
Speaker 1: you next week. Yes,
