WEBVTT - Mini Crush #45 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:31.120 Hey, everybody, Welcome to Mini Crush the Monday edition. Wait, no, 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.440 this isn't Monday. What day is it. It's the Thursday Wednesday. Well, yeah, 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.360 we record these on Wednesdays. Usually, I feel like I've 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:40.080 come unstuck in time. We released them on Mondays. Well, 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:41.960 we just we just had another whole kerfuffle with the 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.239 numbering system and I've been numbering them in correctly when 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.000 we've been doing this. Let's just start over. Okay, let's 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.239 do it. Start from zero Mini Crush Day one. You 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.080 know what's funny nor zero? When I was when I 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.640 was coming in here to record, I like these morning 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.600 sessions with you. It's kind of fun. They're fun, it's 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.000 a good it's a good way to start the day 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.680 with bagel and a in a morning session with a 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.840 good mood too. But I was, I've been listening to 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.039 our Mini Crushes now for some reason, and I'm a 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.800 fan of us uh, And I've noticed that in almost 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.800 every damn episode we sing at some point, And I 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.360 was like, I never, I've never sing on stuff. You 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:20.920 should know. I think I like singing you. You're a 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:22.839 good singer, Chunk on the podcast, you were just singing 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.360 a minute ago. It was something about the heart as 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.560 a drum. Yeah, Becky, And then you walked in right 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.039 after I was thinking that, and you said, tell me 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.959 what I said? I had the Tomato Tomato song stuck 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.920 in my head and then I was gonna bless you 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:36.440 with it on the podcast. That would actually be a 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.840 good duet because I could be tomato and you could 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.200 beat tomato and potato and potato, and we should call 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.240 the whole thing off. We should just quit the podcast 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.040 right and do it and do uh? You say either? 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:52.880 I see you say we either? I say, why the 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.440 why the That's that's great. That was a really good 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.720 Louis Armstrug I think I don't think he did that song, though, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.000 sure he did. He really what are you talking about that, Louis? Yeah, 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.040 he's the O G. I don't know if he's the 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.000 O G, but he definitely did it. I was. I 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.720 guess what are you thinking of? Harry? Uh Bellafonte? I don't. 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.000 I have no idea. I don't associate I don't associate 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.880 that song with any particular voice or artist. Oh all right, 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.119 interesting is it called let's call the whole thing off? 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.600 I think so? It's funny. My my old friend Andrew 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.160 from l A said that, Uh, you know how people 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.280 tell you these kind of dumb stories and fun stories 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.800 from their life. You just remember him, My old friend 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.519 Andrew Cologne back. Uh. He was a production coordinator I 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.600 used to work for in l A when I was 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.560 a p A. And he said that I was singing 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.680 that song one day and he said, growing up in 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.480 New York, he had a friend that, Uh, I think 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:52.600 she auditioned for like a musical in New York and 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.760 didn't know that song, and they gave her the sheet 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.959 or whatever, and she said, you say tomato, I say 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.360 a tomato and sang the whole song like that. You 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.880 say potato, and I say potato. That's absurd. I love that. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.640 That is stuck with me all these years. It's beautiful, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.239 And you're right. It was Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.440 How did I not know that classic duet pairing there? 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.320 Oh that's right, she did, Yeah, yeah, of course you 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.480 are really good Louis. Though, Dude, I gotta say, it's 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.959 sort of like a Kermit, the froggy kind of Louis. 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.440 I like it. What a wonderful world exactly, all right? 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.360 So and he figures prominently in movies, you know, because 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.080 that song is well, I think the Harry Conic version 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.040 isn't when a Harry mot sally and then what a 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.720 wonderful world that great sequence in Good Morning Vietnam as 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.720 that song plays and the and the bombs are raining down? Man, 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.800 really good, isn't it? In The Doctor Strange Love too 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.640 at the end when the I don't know what is? 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.600 What is the song that plays within the all the 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.480 atomic bombs are going off? Oh? What is it? Man? 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.840 I haven't seen that movie in a minute. All right, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.360 Nol's checking on that, everyone live. Corrections are not corrections, 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.040 you know what I mean? All right, everyone, I listened 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:10.040 to your you know, I asked for segment ideas and 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.880 previous Facebook posts and I got a lot of good 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.040 ones and I'm actually gonna use some of those and 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.880 we'll continue to And uh, I did want to say 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.280 that we are gonna do some knowls hole. Actually we're 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.520 not gonna do knowles holes until the next episode, so 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.440 you're gonna have to wait on that. No to get angry, 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.720 but you know, I'll start getting like pre righteously indignant. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.040 You know what your secret is? Though? Say it? My 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.559 secret you're always angry. I'm not. That's not true, Chuck. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.919 Now that's the Hulk line from the Get It. I 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:45.960 get it, I get it. Uh So I called out 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.080 for for ideas for segments, and you guys had a 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.200 lot of good ones. I gotta say, it's very impressive 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:57.520 to see you writing my show for me. And someone said, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.839 you know what, you don't do the exp laning anymore. 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.280 And I really liked the explaining of things. And I 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.760 believe what he was referencing specifically, specifically was grip this 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.880 when I would kind of walk people through uh uh 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.160 movie jobs, movie job screw jobs, teach people how to 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.799 grip stuff. Yeah, um, so this one is a little 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.880 bit different and that it is not a job. But 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:33.159 I'm gonna talk a little bit about film screens. Movie screens, okay, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.160 the actual screen. You walk in there, you see a screen, 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.160 you're like, whatever, they're made of silver, I've got I've 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.200 seen a movie screen. It's just just white. What is 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.000 that drywall? Yeah, I don't know. It's not cool. Uh. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.120 And I gotta say this this came from and it 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.920 got up up voted by like thirty something people. Wobbles 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.240 j Wobbles is the one who called for me to, uh, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.920 to start explaining again. So Wobbles, this one's for you. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:05.279 And he actually responded he has Wobbles in Sydney even 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.000 so he's Wobbles Jay Wobbles. All right. So here's how 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.880 movie screens work. Everyone. They are usually white vinyl, and 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.080 they have a few They have like four main categories, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.120 I believe, and uh. They're categorized by the amount of 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.039 light that they reflect. And here's my thing is, I 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.240 don't see why you just wouldn't use the best for 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.839 every theater, but it probably just comes down to financials 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.440 and how much money each theater has or is willing 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.120 to invest in each particular house inside each theater or 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.800 each room. So Matt White, I believe, is the least 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.600 reflective category. It's less than five percent reflectivity. So you're 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.480 what that means is And this is the same thing 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.039 like when you're shopping for a for a high definition television, 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.920 when you go in and you're talking to someone who 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.160 knows about it and they talk about blacks. The blacks 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.160 are very black, and you're like, what does that mean? 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.360 Black is black? Crush the blacks? But you know what 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.720 I'm talking about, you we heard that expression though. It's 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.919 a it's a post production thing. When you crush the blacks, 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.159 you make the blacks as black as they can possibly being. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.599 And it's a big deal because if you've ever watched something, 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.680 especially in a dark room with like the lights dim, 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.240 the blacks can look gray and they can sometimes kind 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.600 of not pixel out, but they look funny. No, they 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.360 can totally pixel out. They can kind of have that 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:25.120 like almost distorted kind of like noise quality to a 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.040 visual noise, and it's very distracting for sure. So in 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.200 a movie theater, Matt White, if you have a Matt 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.520 White screen, you're black is actually gonna be more like 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.320 a dark gray to black. The image isn't gonna be 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.080 very bright. Pearl lescent is the next step up. That's 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:45.360 fift reflectivity. You're black is still pretty much dark gray, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.120 but the image is brighter. But here's the deal with 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.680 pearl lescent is that it's you're gonna have the best contrast. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.920 Contrast is very important if you want a good picture. Uh. 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:59.160 Silver is next the old silver screen. That's thirty reflectivity. Um, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.280 black is actually medium gray. The image is super bright, uh, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.280 and the dark colors will seem more dull. And by 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.559 the way, I'm getting all this information from our old 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.840 friends at how stuff works dot com. And then finally 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:19.000 you have the glass bead screen that is or more reflectivity. Um. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.120 Black is light gray and the images usually too bright actually, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.040 and it's normally you don't have a glass beads screen. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:31.280 It's just for like special circumstances. So pearl lescent is 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.559 the most common choice for a movie theater typically. Uh. 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.760 And if you want that pearl lescent or the silver screen, 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.440 you still have that heavy white vinyl as the base, 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.520 and then they add a reflective coding to that matt 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.920 white vinyl to make the end screen. So if you 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.240 actually have glass bead that they're actually real tiny glass marbles, 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.480 thousands and thousands of tiny glass marbles embedded in the 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.160 transparent coating on the surface of that screen. So that's 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.240 why you don't see those too much. It's uh, that's 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.920 really over the top. Um. And here's the deal. I 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.920 don't know if you knew this. You see the speakers 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.959 in the theater all around you, but there's actually they're 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.600 actually speakers behind that screen. So these screens are built 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.880 so sound can travel through them. They have little tiny 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.040 perforations so you can hear these speakers and basically, you know, 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.400 usually you're gonna find it depends on the theater and 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.880 what kind of like speaker system they go with, but 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.480 they're generally three speakers behind the screen, left right, and center, 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.200 and that's where your dialogue heavy sound is really going 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.840 to be coming from, because it would be weird if 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.360 the dialogue was coming from behind you, unless it's you know, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.640 someone at a party and it's mixed that way or something, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.840 Hey I'm over here, yeah, exactly. So you've got those 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.520 speakers behind there, the tiny perforations coming through the screen, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.680 and um, then there's the curvature. That's kind of the 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.200 final thing. And you've basically got three choices for curvature. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.400 You've got a flat screen, horizontal curve screen, and then 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.559 the torre x t O R e X and flat 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.120 screen is just what you think like when you or 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.000 in school or in a home theater or whatever. That's 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.079 a flat screen. And that's fine for a small room. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.679 So here's the deal, though, when you have a flat screen, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.080 you're projecting that image from you know, a hundred feet back, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.000 has that long that far to travel, there's something called 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:19.000 the pincushion effect that's going on. So this is distortion 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.880 on the edges of the screen, because think about it. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.679 If you've got a flat screen and you're projecting an 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.440 image from a hundred feet back, the shortest distance to 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.360 that screen is right there in the center, because that's 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.360 where the projection is coming from. Then as it arches, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.120 you know, as it angles out and hits the edges 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:41.320 of the screen, that's actually further away then that center image. So, uh, 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.880 there's going to create some distortion, distortion on the edges 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.120 of the screen. That's called the pincushion effect. It's no good, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.360 you know't want that. So that's very old school um 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.560 mostly these days. And you may not even notice this, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.040 but and which is good. There will be a horizontal 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.880 curve screen. So what it basically does is it sort 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.240 of evens it all out, so the edges are a 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.600 little bit close or not so much that you notice, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:06.280 but that it's picking up the projected image and roughly 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.360 the same area. If you really want the highest end, 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.199 it's the touric screen that actually curves that the edges 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.640 of the screen and the top and bottom of the 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.640 screen and creates a completely concave surface. So on a 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.480 touric screen, the light from that projector is gonna hit 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.439 if it's working right, it's gonna hit every single part 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.400 of that screen at the exact same time, creating basically 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.000 a perfect image. So that's it. That's a movie Screen's 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.439 pretty cool, Chuck, I was just joking about the silver part. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:39.360 I thought that was an expression man silver silver knol. Yeah, 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.320 but but it's not actually silver. It's just referring to 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:45.280 the reflectiveness of the of the of the white. Yeah, 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.360 but I don't know, maybe it may have I think 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:48.839 it does have a silver tin. You think it's got 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.679 It's like mac weldon underwear. It's got some silver in there. Maybe. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:12:02.880 So all right, now we're gonna move on to another 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:09.080 Curated Listener curated segment. This is from Shannon reading McQueen 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.880 and Shannon, I titled this for you because you didn't 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:18.400 give a title. It's called Transformers. And uh, I don't 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.959 know if we're gonna repeat this one, but this is 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.480 a good one off at least. This is I'm gonna 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:28.280 go over some of the best the top nine one, two, three, four, nine. Yeah. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.280 I did nine on purpose for some dumb reason. Um, 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:39.920 the nine most transformative physically transformative performances perhaps in movie history, 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.839 and most of these for better or for worse, or 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.000 weight gains and weight losses. So it's usually hot people 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.240 playing ugly people. Well that's for that's a callous way. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.559 It's a little productive. But you know that's true always 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.640 with oscars. For like, if you're like super attractive and 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:58.600 then you go super unattractive, then it's like, well, no, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.520 trust me, that's Oscar baits An. Uh. And in fact, 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:04.080 we might as well start with that one. Charlie's Thearren 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.960 very famously in the movie Monsters like Charlie' Thearren one 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.040 of the most beautiful women to ever grace the silver screen, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.240 to be sure, and uh, they really did some work 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.680 on her and Monster. She she did gain a little 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.440 bit of weight, not a ton, but some um. And 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.200 then she had her skin layered with washed off tattoo 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.400 ink to make it look real weathered, washed off tattooing. Yeah, 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.120 I'm not even sure what that means. That's a serious 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.320 technique right there. I don't know. Her eyebrows were shaven 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.560 a little bit. They bleached him out because remember her 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.120 eyebrows were barely there. Creates a real freaky look. She 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.720 wore those dentures and then she had her hair repeatedly 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.800 um thinned and fried. Uh and the end result, like 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.640 Charlie Throna, is barely recognizable, you know. And you know 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.600 what I love about her. She she can play at 0:13:55.600 --> 0:14:00.560 all like she can look like a runway model, which 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.679 I think she was early in her career. In one movie, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.320 she can do monster and then she she really just 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.920 sort of uh playing Jane's it up for lack of 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.240 a better way to put it, like in um the 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.040 in Tully and h what was that? Young Adult? And 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.080 movies like that where she really can just sort of 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.800 um that that just rolled out a bed look. She 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:24.800 she can pull off and look like the sort of 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.480 the lady next door, which is very impressive. Now, she's 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.720 incredibly versatile. I'm I'm a fan, like physically versatile, and 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.360 I think a really good actor. And I have to 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.640 mention in uh and uh Mad Max Fury Road, Yeah, man, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.000 I think total badass. Yeah. And I think rolls like 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.320 that are under appreciated because they get kind of chalked 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.320 off as like an action movie or whatever. She was 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.600 really good in that. You know, a lot of good 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.560 acting going on. We're gonna go with Matthew McConaughey next 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.320 for Dallas Buyer's Club. Did you see that? I did not. Yeah, 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.840 it was um, it was good and it was really good, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.200 great performances, and he and Jared Leto actually both physically 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.040 transformed and in a pretty big way. He lost mccannie 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.960 lost about forty pounds and went you know from you know, 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:11.240 fairly cut dude, cut and tanned two uh, emaciated and 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.120 really really did a great job. I believe he won 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.760 the Oscar for that too. In fact, I know he 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.240 did because he delivered the famous alright, alright, alright on 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.920 stage of the Oscars. Uh, speaking of weight loss. And 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.600 I know you've seen this one all. How about Christian 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.200 Bale and the Machinist? You know I haven't seen that one. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.720 Oh really, it's one of my holes. I thought that 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.480 was I thought that hole had been plugged by Christian Bale. No, 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.800 I don't know it. Don't gravitate towards movies. That seemed 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.480 like an overt bummer on the outside. Well it's it 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.120 is disturbing. Yeah, yeah, for some reason he did the 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.280 look at him. I was just like this is something 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.640 that this guy needs a cheeseburger. Man, what's going on? Like, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.440 what's going He's not okay, I don't want to see this. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.120 I don't want to see this guy's descent into madness. Yeah, 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.000 it's it's a tough movie. It's really I think you 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.480 would enjoy it though, if you could go there. But 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.320 he lost sixty pounds for that, and that was coming 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.680 off of like beefing up for Batman. So he is 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.160 and a lot of these actors have suffered serious health problems. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.680 This is not safe to do, you know. It doesn't 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:08.120 seem like Jared Leto got gout from losing a bunch 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:09.720 of weight and then he gained a bunch to play 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.440 Mark David Chapman and the and the John Lennon Shooter movie. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.280 Did that? Just come and go? I didn't see that. 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.360 It was pretty small and un noticed for the most part. 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.040 Not bad. You saw it? Uh, yeah, it was all right. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.000 It wasn't great. So yeah, Christian Bale lost a ton 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:30.440 of weight. Robert de Niro, this one was notable in 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.000 Raging Bull because he did two things in the same movie. 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.800 He got super cut to pay a young boxer. Jake 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:43.080 LaMotta just ripped abs and just in great shape, the 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.400 shape of a of a I don't know what he 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.120 was like, a middleweight boxer, perhaps um. And then he 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.080 played old Jake Laomata in The end uh and gained 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.400 sixty pounds. And he did this in the making of 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.280 the movie. So they took four months off and apparently 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.400 Robert de Niro went to Italy and just ate his 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.320 way through Italy gelato and pasta and pasta and cheese 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.000 and gelato and chocolate and wine and put on sixty 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.200 pounds dude in four months and came back to play 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:16.480 Tubby Jake Clamana. So really really unbelievable, and it's not safe, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.280 but there there is no substitute. The fat suits is 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.399 that they put people in, and the makeup and the prosthetics. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.560 It just it's never believable. What about Gary Oldman in 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.159 the Winston Churchill movie. You know, I didn't see it. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.119 I didn't see it either, but he looked fantastic and 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.119 that was all prostetics' suits and stuff. And they do 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.600 a good job these days. Why you gotta go full 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.040 method man? It just like, no, I know method man, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.159 um it seems I don't know it seems unnecessary. It 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.800 seems like, hey, look at me, it's a it's a 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.480 it's a movie. You guys, chill out, but on a 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.119 fat suit. The method bugs you. You've you've gotten in 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.840 your soapbox about the method before. It's because I don't 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.400 think it's entirely necessary all the time. Sometimes I think 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.399 it's just like pretentious and like for the purposes of 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.159 the actor, seeming like really hardcore about an I do 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.560 not necessarily think that it is a substitute for just 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.440 what was it? I think that the thing the line 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.800 was Lawrence Olivier telling, Uh, Dustin Hoffman, have you ever 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.399 considered just trying to acting? My boy? Yeah? But you 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.280 know what I mean, I'm gonna disagree with you here 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.479 because everyone has their own method, and some is the method, 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.880 and uh, if that's what they need, I don't think 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.440 they are actors that are doing that just just feel important. 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.880 They may need that. Are you getting a certain little 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.879 weird bubble who knows what you do? Yeah? These actor 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.320 types not into the method, guys. I don't like the method. 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.000 Vincent Donofrio and full Metal Jacket. I know you've seen that, right, 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.560 Oh yeah, that's good. So I did not know this. Um, 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.280 I thought that he was Tubby because I saw that 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.040 movie and I was like, Who's I think that might 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:43.800 have been the first thing I saw him in, But 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.600 he gat He put on sixty pounds for that role. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.399 Was he in a bunch of stuff before that? Not 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.840 a bunch, but he was around And in fact I 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.920 looked it up. He was in that same year Adventures 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:55.000 in Babysitting was released, and he was like thin and 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.360 cut and uh, you know I wouldn't have thought that either. Yeah, 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.640 he put on weight for that role. To work with 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.520 the great Stanley Kubrick. That's a fantastic film. Here's one 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.280 that had nothing to do with weight gain. But Rooney 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.560 Mara in the American version of Girl with a Dragon 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:17.880 Tattoo as Elizabeth Salander Man, she transformed herself in a big, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.880 big way. Remember how she looked in that movie. Looked yeah, 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.040 like just tatted up and and studed out with the 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.280 with the face work. Yeah, but it didn't look like 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.440 it looked it looked legit, Like, oh it totally looked 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.080 leg Yeah. It didn't look like an actor and costume. 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:35.960 It looked like it's someone living their life. Do you 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.520 watch always study in Philadelphia. Well, I mean, I watched 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.920 that movie for many years, but it's like The Simpsons. 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:44.800 I don't haven't watched season eight team there's a lot. Yeah, 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.399 well there's a thing in the new season where um, 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:52.000 his name is Rob mckalehaney. I guess, well he does 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.320 this insane modern dance routine with this like incredible modern 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.240 dancer and he like lost all this way and is 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.920 just like cut as as you could possibly be because 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.840 he gained weight for one season, macketts fat and now 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:11.520 he's like, you know, eight pack McGhee over eight pac McGhee, 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.399 pac McGhee, and he's like doing this insane and this 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:18.159 is gorgeous dance routine on this stage it's like covered 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.760 in rain and it's like it's I don't know that 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.560 I haven't seen the episode, but it's in front of 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.840 like a crowd of prisoners and uh, Robert de Niro, um, 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.080 Danny DeVito's character is looking on and he just it's 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.760 like to this Seagar Roast song. It's like this gorgeous, 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.680 it's amazing, and he likes crying and stuff, and it's 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.159 like he is just owning this modern dance thing. And 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:40.879 he apparently had to train for it for like a 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.879 year just for this one gag, which I love that. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:47.240 It's just the most intense commitment to a gag that 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:48.600 I've ever heard of him my life. Yeah, you know 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:50.840 what I mean. I dropped off of that show a 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:52.840 while ago. But what I love about it is is 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.040 they they have never um, I think they never just 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.040 phoned it in. Like even years and years and years 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.359 into it, they were still trying to like push the 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.800 envelope and innovate and be weird. It's really great. Well 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.960 this is this is a quintessential example of that. Yeah, totally. 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.720 And man, Charlie Day, God, that guy's funny. Um. Tom 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.679 Hardy and these next couple or people are are dudes 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.600 that got super cut and buffed up and jacked up, 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.480 as you like to say. Tom Hardy when he played 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:26.360 Bain remember that. I remember seeing Tom Hardy is Baine 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.240 and just being like, dang, dude, well he did he 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.360 didn't he already done that once before in The Warrior 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.960 And uh yeah, sure that's right. Yeah he's aye. That 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:36.280
