Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome to movie crush. Hi, it's it's me,
Speaker 1: No the morning to us, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Yours is better minus when a weird hybrid Scottish Irish accent.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Um, you know. No.
Speaker 1: When I read books to my daughter, I do accents
Speaker 1: almost all the time. No straight reads in my house.
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fun. And uh most of the time
Speaker 1: she's delighted. But about thirty percent of the time she
Speaker 1: yanks it out of my hand and goes, no, Daddy,
Speaker 1: I want mommy to read read read it regular And
Speaker 1: then I make fun of her, and I scream and
Speaker 1: I slammed the door, and I go and pout in
Speaker 1: the closet. And that's how I'm I'm teaching by example.
Speaker 1: Do you have a particular pouting closet that you well,
Speaker 1: I do. I have one for the clothes, one for towels,
Speaker 1: and linen's one for linen closet, and then the powdering
Speaker 1: close for powding. Yes, it's next to the fainting couch,
Speaker 1: very nice, and the powder room yes so no. Uh,
Speaker 1: I saw Mandy Oh Surprise been a been a hot
Speaker 1: topic on the movie crashes. It's very polarizing, very divisive,
Speaker 1: and I have really come out strong for it, and
Speaker 1: there have been plenty people that have come out strong
Speaker 1: again it. So let's see where do you fall. I
Speaker 1: fall in the middle. Um, here's here's my thing. College
Speaker 1: Chuck year old shock would have been so fucking down
Speaker 1: with Mandy. I get it. Yeah. When I when I
Speaker 1: was watching it, I was sort of like, I get it.
Speaker 1: I've seen you know, I get it. Um And I
Speaker 1: liked a lot of it, But ultimately I was like,
Speaker 1: I just don't know at this age if it really
Speaker 1: resonated me with me the same. Yeah, that's fair, that's
Speaker 1: fair for me. It was just a crystallization of a
Speaker 1: lot of things that I did love in college age
Speaker 1: and continue to love, and things like Space Odyssey and
Speaker 1: like Evil Dead and like all of these like you know,
Speaker 1: Dead Alive, all of these gonzo schlocky things combined. But
Speaker 1: I love that stuff. I also thought it was a
Speaker 1: very poetic kind of you know, um meditation on like
Speaker 1: death and like you know, sadness and suffering. That was
Speaker 1: kind of how I felt about And I also thought
Speaker 1: it was beautiful and like it was really like masterfully
Speaker 1: directed and shot and it was like every frame was
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I mean it was batshit crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: trust me, I loved a lot of things about it.
Speaker 1: And again, this movie would have been so up my
Speaker 1: alley twenty years ago. Um, just didn't quite And maybe
Speaker 1: it's also sometimes the the mood you're in on a
Speaker 1: particular day, especially with a movie like this, can like
Speaker 1: a polarizing film, can affect how you viewed it. But uh,
Speaker 1: it was good, you know, I get it. It's not
Speaker 1: like I don't want to see it again. Um. So
Speaker 1: that says a lot. And it also reminds me as
Speaker 1: much as I've said I would have loved this movie
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. I also kind of remember like when
Speaker 1: natural Born Killers came out, even when because that was
Speaker 1: when I was young, I was like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it's sort of just like a that adrenaline fueled drug
Speaker 1: fueled amped up zero to a hundred, Like, uh, just
Speaker 1: crazy filmmaking. Like I didn't love it back then either,
Speaker 1: fair about it and now I love Natural Born Killers
Speaker 1: when I was younger, but like, looking back, that movie
Speaker 1: is much more nihilistic and kind of like a gross
Speaker 1: kind of way, and like the themes are sort of problematic,
Speaker 1: and it really is kind of as much as Stone
Speaker 1: would be. Like, I was not trying to glorify this.
Speaker 1: I was trying to show how this can all spin
Speaker 1: out of control. I thought it kind of did glorify
Speaker 1: mass murder, whereas this movie, to me is much more
Speaker 1: of a fairy tale. Mandy is much more of like
Speaker 1: a fantasy kind of thing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like it's almost like a hero's journey, as though he's
Speaker 1: some sort of like psychedelic night And I go using
Speaker 1: that word again, but it totally applies to this movie.
Speaker 1: So maybe, well maybe a little, because it definitely like
Speaker 1: took all of these tropes and like kind of like
Speaker 1: it had these like title cards that were something you'd
Speaker 1: see on a fantasy novel, like a trash kind of
Speaker 1: fantasy dime store novel. And uh, you know, Mandy character
Speaker 1: is always reading. She's doing these readings from these kind
Speaker 1: of schlocky fantasy books. In the movie itself kind of
Speaker 1: becomes that thing. So yes, is a little bit meta. Chuck,
Speaker 1: everyone old just got legit, sassy. I turned, I cocked
Speaker 1: my head and everything. Now I stand by it. I
Speaker 1: I did want to watch it again because I thought
Speaker 1: it was I saw it. I've seen it twice on demand,
Speaker 1: and I saw it in the theater. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: see it in the theater. I think I told you
Speaker 1: about this. It was so cool because they got released
Speaker 1: originally like very limited theater Ryan, but then so many
Speaker 1: people like got into it on on demand. They kind
Speaker 1: of like it became this groundswell in different cities to
Speaker 1: like have a theater release. So the Plaza did it,
Speaker 1: and here in Atlanta and people had already seen it
Speaker 1: clearly kind of a bunch. So it had these applause
Speaker 1: moments where everyone knew what was coming, and it became
Speaker 1: this really cult movie experience. Instant instant culled classic, which
Speaker 1: is another thing I thought was interesting the way they
Speaker 1: handled the promotion of it then that movie. They did
Speaker 1: a good job. Yeah, I want to see many again
Speaker 1: one day. I don't know, it's fair, Chuck. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna it's not gonna force it on you,
Speaker 1: but I really do. It was one that was very
Speaker 1: It just hit me for some reason. It hit like
Speaker 1: a lot of uttons for me in a really interesting way. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely followed down some of the paths
Speaker 1: that Sam Sam lamy what Sam Ramie. Yeah, that sounds
Speaker 1: like a cut exactly, Sam. More like it laid the
Speaker 1: it followed down the path that Sam Raimi had laid
Speaker 1: many years before for sure, especially with the chainsaw stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know, I get it, the big huge chainsaw.
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's super fun. Yeah. Yeah, alright, I'm in
Speaker 1: the middle and the music is cool. It's like this.
Speaker 1: It's actually the last thing your hand Yo Hansen did
Speaker 1: before he passed away. Who he was this pretty he's
Speaker 1: a he's like he did a lot of interesting kind
Speaker 1: of contemporary classical kind of stuff for orchestra that's very
Speaker 1: drony and kind of ambient. But he's also done like
Speaker 1: he did all the music for that movie Arrival. Um,
Speaker 1: uh what's that guy's name? Yeah, what's that the director's name.
Speaker 1: He's doing the New Dune and uh Villeniel Yeah, um
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think he actually was originally supposed to
Speaker 1: do Blade Runner and then he got replaced by the music. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got replaced by Zimmer, who did a fantastic job
Speaker 1: because I was Simmer. Yeah. Um, but yeah, he he
Speaker 1: passed away and he did all the music from Mandy.
Speaker 1: So it's all the synth, big synth soundtrack stuff and
Speaker 1: then also big metal guitars where we're done by members
Speaker 1: of a band called Son Oh oh yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know that big doom metal band. Yeah, so, really cool
Speaker 1: hybrid soundtrack. I liked it a lot. All right, Mandy,
Speaker 1: we're fairly split. I'm glad you saw it, though, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you saw it. Yes, I'm too. All right.
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna do mystery Haiku theater with me. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: here's my here's my lapp. Yeah, because I didn't have access,
Speaker 1: bring this over. H oh boy. It's gonna be fun. Alright.

Speaker 1: I skipped a feat. I'm sorry. I'm just leading some
Speaker 1: of these now, I really fucked up, toy Story Trilogy
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. All right, I can clean this
Speaker 1: up later. Everyone. Let's move on to the pole truth
Speaker 1: sci fi a dish. I made some movie polls up,
Speaker 1: some sci fi movie polls last night, everybody, and I'm
Speaker 1: kind of curious to see what everyone came up with,
Speaker 1: because some of these were provocative. Intentionally, I was trying
Speaker 1: to poke around and see if I could trigger some
Speaker 1: sci fi outrage. And uh, we'll go ahead and start
Speaker 1: it off with this one biggest badass Sarah Connor and
Speaker 1: T two or Ellen Ripley in Aliens Interesting we at
Speaker 1: a one point one thousand votes. I would say, uh,
Speaker 1: Sarah Connor because she's so grizzled in that one man
Speaker 1: and she's like in the you know, in the psych
Speaker 1: ward and she like swallows the paper clip and she's
Speaker 1: that's the guy with bleach and then I mean she
Speaker 1: is she's doing pull ups and she's all buff and ship.
Speaker 1: I mean, she's pretty gnarly. I'm with you. I I
Speaker 1: would have to. I don't know, man, I might give
Speaker 1: that one a tie. But Ellen Ripley won in decided fashion.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, and I can't. And I mean now they're
Speaker 1: both pretty solid. T two is more of my movie though,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there's a lot of comments saying
Speaker 1: how hard this one was? Um and Amy Crouch maybe
Speaker 1: says it best if you had them go up against
Speaker 1: each other. Sarah Connor is gonna win, maybe so she'll
Speaker 1: inject your ass with bleach. Well, if it's a fist fight.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ellen Ripley was pretty good with a robot.
Speaker 1: Uh mech kind of workless. Yeah, it depends on if
Speaker 1: weapons are involved. That's good though, both great movie badasses
Speaker 1: in the sci fi realm. All right, here we go,
Speaker 1: pull truth spaceship. You'd most like to own? The Millennium
Speaker 1: Falcon or Serenity one point two thousand VOTs? Who do
Speaker 1: you think? One? Oh, I'm sure the Millennium Falcon, yeah,
Speaker 1: big time. Yeah, there's there's firefly fans out there though,
Speaker 1: but the Falcon, and this is most like to own,
Speaker 1: not just like cooler ship or what I like in
Speaker 1: the movie. I don't know. Serenity might be a better ship. Everybody, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that isn't isn't Millennium Falcon kind of even
Speaker 1: he talks about it like it's sort of a piece
Speaker 1: of junk. Yeah, the rust bucket doesn't call it a
Speaker 1: rust bucket makes the whole thing. I mean that ship
Speaker 1: is a character in and of itself. All right, movie
Speaker 1: crush pull truth sigh if I a Dish two thousand
Speaker 1: one Space Odyssey, genius or boring or how about geniusly boring?
Speaker 1: This was closer than I thought, said genius, said boring
Speaker 1: thousand votes. That's it's a slow film. And I get
Speaker 1: that people might be turned off by that. Casey and
Speaker 1: now are going to crush on that one soon? Is nice?
Speaker 1: Um poul truth sci fi dish kitchy old sci fi
Speaker 1: like Barbara Ella and Logan's run bring it on or
Speaker 1: no thanks? I say bring it on. I say bring
Speaker 1: it on, said bring it on, said no thanks? Get out.
Speaker 1: You gotta be in the right mood for that, you do,
Speaker 1: have I told you that? Like there's this crazy cash
Speaker 1: of old like eighties early eighties trash movies on Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime that have you ever heard of a movie called
Speaker 1: death Stalker? It sounds familiar. It's like basically a t
Speaker 1: n A Cone in the Barbarian rip off. Like it's
Speaker 1: totally and I bet there were a million. I mean,
Speaker 1: there were obviously like a million copycat type movies and
Speaker 1: there was one movie that did well, there would be
Speaker 1: a million type kind of Roger Corminy schlocky rip offs. Right,
Speaker 1: there are dozens of those on Amazon Prime. If you
Speaker 1: guys want to take a blast to the past, I
Speaker 1: recommended highly. Their movie selection is pretty great. It is,
Speaker 1: I will say, like stuff like that, and then like
Speaker 1: really good classics and also good solid light horror from
Speaker 1: the seventies as well, like really really cool stuff on there.
Speaker 1: That's right, a little hard to search though, you kind
Speaker 1: of gotta know what you're looking for, like that. They
Speaker 1: don't have them categorized very well. I don't like the
Speaker 1: Yeah I've been watching lately nol Is. There was a
Speaker 1: BBC show called Classic Albums that um takes one record
Speaker 1: in spends an hour talking about the making of that record.
Speaker 1: Cool including every show has them in the studio at
Speaker 1: the board doing the tracks, which is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things ever. It's like just to listen to the
Speaker 1: base or the backing vocals, and so we've been I mean,
Speaker 1: it's such a good show and we've been just pouring
Speaker 1: through this. It on BBC America. Do you have to
Speaker 1: have BBC America? Well, no, it's on Amazon Prime. Names
Speaker 1: on Prime. Yeah, just typing classic albums. That's a good record.
Speaker 1: I watched Damn the Torpedoes last night, Tom Petty, we
Speaker 1: watched Rumors the other night with Fleetwood Mac, and watched
Speaker 1: Goodbye Yellow Bick Road the other night. It's really really cool, cool.
Speaker 1: I'll check it out. Highly recommended, all right, many crush
Speaker 1: poll Truth, Sci Fi Dish by the way. Robert Paulson
Speaker 1: on that last one said Logan's run kitchy blasphemy. Um,
Speaker 1: I'll say it live like I said on Facebook. Pipe down, Paulson,
Speaker 1: pipe down, good sir. He's a he's a location scout. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been in touch for many, many years. He always
Speaker 1: sends cool emails about stuff he's working on. I should,
Speaker 1: but maybe one day I'll get pulsing on. It'd be
Speaker 1: cool to hear from a location scout. I want to
Speaker 1: know what goes into it. I think people have been
Speaker 1: enjoying these crew member episodes and learning about these jobs.
Speaker 1: It's kind of neat um. All, here we go, sci
Speaker 1: Fi Pole Truth. George Lucas Noel genius filmmaker or great
Speaker 1: ideas filmmaker? What do you think I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: a fan. All right, Well, you're This was a landslide
Speaker 1: of the people said me, filmmaker great Ideas, is a
Speaker 1: genius filmmaker. I don't think he's a genius filmmaker. Is he?
Speaker 1: Did he do American Graffiti? Yeah? Is that good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it great? No? Okay, it's good because I think
Speaker 1: I've said this before. Um, I don't think Star Wars movies,
Speaker 1: even the classic ones, are that good. Like I think
Speaker 1: they they accomplish what they're supposed to acomplish, and they're
Speaker 1: sort of like these schmaltzy kind of space operas. But
Speaker 1: if you really, you know, just dissect them, they're not
Speaker 1: very good. I know, That's what I'm saying. Like, that's
Speaker 1: why I think it's like great idea, great execution for
Speaker 1: the zite guys, just hit this thing and just like
Speaker 1: really good, but not so much like an amazing film. No,
Speaker 1: he's he is not a great film. What about the
Speaker 1: the thh X one? Have you seen that one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's okay, I haven't seen it. He's not a great filmmaker.
Speaker 1: It's just the thing the people have spoken. Holly Fry
Speaker 1: will cut you, We'll cut us all. Yeah, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? I don't know. Uh, And
Speaker 1: you'ren't gonna call on Paulson again because this is a
Speaker 1: pretty relevant comment here. Robert says, you gotta want to
Speaker 1: make films to be a genius. When he was young,
Speaker 1: he had the desire. He says, th h X and
Speaker 1: American Graffiti were great, but once it became about money
Speaker 1: black very I agree est in comment, I agree. No,
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty spot on. I feel bad about
Speaker 1: that post. Now you gotta be hungry, right like it
Speaker 1: feels like, I mean, some filmmakers like Villenil for example,
Speaker 1: whose I've getting bookoo bucks for making these big sci
Speaker 1: fi epics that he's doing. Now he still seems hungry.
Speaker 1: He still seems like he's making stuff that he really
Speaker 1: is passionate about and really wants to make. And the
Speaker 1: same with like a Terrence Malick or whatever whatever you
Speaker 1: think about his work, Like he makes a movie when
Speaker 1: he wants to make a damn movie, and it's for
Speaker 1: reasons of the heart, you know what I mean, not
Speaker 1: of the of the wallet. Right. I wonder if George
Speaker 1: Lucas is that driven by the wallet though, I mean,
Speaker 1: he has more money than God even before these his
Speaker 1: second wave. I just think he's sort of an example
Speaker 1: of like one of these, like like a band that
Speaker 1: should have broken up, you know, they they kind of
Speaker 1: became a shallow, hollow representation of their former greatness that
Speaker 1: maybe was an accident in the first place. I would
Speaker 1: say Weezer is a great example of that. They've got
Speaker 1: two records that are incredible, Blue Album in Pinkerton, and
Speaker 1: then from then on they have steadily just become this
Speaker 1: kind of caricature of themselves, you know, and they should
Speaker 1: have just stopped and preserve their legacy instead of trying
Speaker 1: so desperately to like be this thing. It was a
Speaker 1: bit of a hot take. Poul Truth Sci Fi dish
Speaker 1: original Blade Runner narration helped me narration Terrible. Which version
Speaker 1: has the narration? Is it the director's cut or is
Speaker 1: it in the original? No, the director's cut does not
Speaker 1: he That's what I thought. This narration, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1: So this was really really close, actually interesting, said The
Speaker 1: narration helped said Terrible. So the narration is like Harrison
Speaker 1: Ford kind of talking to himself, like is that what
Speaker 1: we're talking about? Yeah, okay, very sort of on the nose,
Speaker 1: a little bit of narration. Um, yeah, here's my deal.
Speaker 1: It's not like it that ruined the movie for me.
Speaker 1: It was okay, but I liked it better without kind
Speaker 1: of smacked of studio handholding, kind of like saying, Ah,
Speaker 1: these dummies want to understand what's going on unless we
Speaker 1: walk them through it. Yeah, step at a time. Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna stay with Blade Runner. Here with Blade Runners sequel.
Speaker 1: What was loved it or man not bad, loved it percent,
Speaker 1: we're just medium, Like, Yeah, I loved it and Wendy
Speaker 1: White liked it better than the original. I liked it
Speaker 1: better than the original. I want to see it again.
Speaker 1: I've only seen that movie once. Yeah, I definitely gotta
Speaker 1: check it out against pretty cool all right, pull truth
Speaker 1: sci fi scariest antagonist Alien or Predator. That would be
Speaker 1: Alien by a long by a mile. There's not much
Speaker 1: scarier antagonist and film so good period, so good Landslide Winter,
Speaker 1: No said Alien Predator. I was not a fan of Predator. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just not it's not that scary. It's an action movie.
Speaker 1: I don't even think of it as like a like
Speaker 1: a horror kind of suspense movie, much more of an
Speaker 1: action Probably not even fair that I said that. I'm
Speaker 1: the asshole, not at all a wonderful guy, pull truth,
Speaker 1: sci fi, better movies, and I think this is the
Speaker 1: last one. All better movies. Star Wars two thousand fifteen
Speaker 1: on or Star Trek two thousand nine on. So the
Speaker 1: new Star Treks or the new Star Wars. What do
Speaker 1: you think? One? Thanks Star Wars? Oh wait, the new
Speaker 1: Star Wars isn't like the ones, like like the not
Speaker 1: the prequels, but like the Yeah, shit, that's that's tough.
Speaker 1: That's close. It was close. I think Star Wars okay
Speaker 1: is better. Yeah said Star Wars very close to that's
Speaker 1: very close. The Star Treks were fun, for sure. I
Speaker 1: only saw one of those. I think I think there's
Speaker 1: been like three. I saw two. I saw there's been
Speaker 1: three since two thousand nine, but I've only seen I
Speaker 1: think one, because I was never a Star Trek guy.
Speaker 1: But I saw the one and it was good. The
Speaker 1: first one right, And the second one was the one
Speaker 1: with Benedict Cumberbatch as uh cons right, did not see
Speaker 1: that one's right? But didn't see that all right. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish up with just a few questions here.
Speaker 1: Time is short, so we're gonna do a few comment cards. Um,
Speaker 1: please rank the This is from Michael meg Gray. I agree.
Speaker 1: Please rank the Indiana Jones movies in order from best
Speaker 1: to worst. Well, that's easy. I've got Raiders of the
Speaker 1: Lost Dark clearly the best. You have to me, uh,
Speaker 1: last Crusade as the second best. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Temple of Doom is the third best. And then that
Speaker 1: garbage Crystal Skulls a movie. I couldn't even finish that
Speaker 1: one man. God, it was bad. I couldn't make it through.
Speaker 1: I tried. It was depressing. It was so bad. It
Speaker 1: was like, how do you take this character in this
Speaker 1: franchise and muck it up? So saying you gotta be
Speaker 1: hungry for not money hungry or franchise hungry. And there
Speaker 1: was just no heart in it if it felt like
Speaker 1: it was trying to copy the magic of the other ones.
Speaker 1: And then just like just just fell short. God, and
Speaker 1: you won't put that guy in your movies, Shyla Boof No, Yes,
Speaker 1: but no, you don't put him in your movie. You
Speaker 1: don't put him in Indiana Jones. God, you had a
Speaker 1: real beef with them, everybody. He got the BF beef.
Speaker 1: You just put the buff beef beef. Have a little beef. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. I don't know. He's pretty good in that
Speaker 1: sea video orre he's crawling around stuff. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I don't know, man, he was in uh
Speaker 1: he's I think he's not a I don't think he's
Speaker 1: a bad actor. I just like he was such a
Speaker 1: maybe that was the character. He's just such a smarmy
Speaker 1: little brick in then. But he was supposed to be
Speaker 1: a smarmy little prick. But it wasn't cute, right, it
Speaker 1: wasn't cute, and there was no redemption to it at all.
Speaker 1: It was just so much bad c g I swinging
Speaker 1: around on vines, like come on, they would never have
Speaker 1: done that in the originals. There was no magic. And
Speaker 1: this is the thing, like Indiana Jones, the real like
Speaker 1: that was meant to be, Like yeah, it was. He
Speaker 1: was like flying by the seat of his pants ants
Speaker 1: and like you know, always in danger. But he never
Speaker 1: like swung from vines in the jungle like a fucking
Speaker 1: orangutan like that was with that was outside of in
Speaker 1: these powers to do that, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Or I mean the one time he did swing on
Speaker 1: a vine and raiders, he like you know fell and
Speaker 1: came up short what I'm saying, And it was one vine.
Speaker 1: It wasn't from vine to vine dancing that out. For
Speaker 1: my memory even that was bad stuff. But um, sorry,
Speaker 1: I know you need a minute hair, chuck, collect yourself. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is good. This is a movie going one on one.
Speaker 1: What is our movie going one on one? That's from
Speaker 1: kill Him? Uh, Massacote. So no, I like to sit. Um,
Speaker 1: if I'm in the stadium seating kind of standard about
Speaker 1: midway up further towards the back though. First, if it's
Speaker 1: the giant screen, uh, it's close to the middle of
Speaker 1: I can get as I can get without being next
Speaker 1: to someone, that's right. And if I'm in a smaller
Speaker 1: screen without stadium seating, I've gotten to where I go
Speaker 1: a bit closer. Now, what about you. Well, we went
Speaker 1: and saw me and my kid went and saw Captain
Speaker 1: Marvel and it was the first proper imax I've been
Speaker 1: to in a minute. So I kind of miss cute
Speaker 1: a little bit, Chuck. I sort of booked the seat
Speaker 1: a little too close. It was still great. It didn't
Speaker 1: take away from the experience, but I could almost not
Speaker 1: quite see the bottom of the screen, and I was
Speaker 1: seeing heads a little more than I would have liked.
Speaker 1: So the optimum seating I think for an IMAX would
Speaker 1: be in the upper tier, but not so far back,
Speaker 1: sort of middle of the upper tier right, and I
Speaker 1: was back of the bottom tier. Um, So you know,
Speaker 1: I like middle, So I get this. I'm a sound guy,
Speaker 1: so I like to have the proper central sound position
Speaker 1: so you can get the left and the right and
Speaker 1: the way everything moves around. Um, and I get I
Speaker 1: tend to get a small soda. Sometimes I like to
Speaker 1: get one of those slushies to share with the kid.
Speaker 1: You know, those are fun. I did figure something out recently, Chuck.
Speaker 1: You can get a kid's snack pack at the movies
Speaker 1: and it's like six bucks, and they always overload it
Speaker 1: with way too much popcorn, so it ends up being
Speaker 1: it's enough anyway. It ends up being the same size
Speaker 1: as like the ten dollar media and you get fruit
Speaker 1: snacks and a drink with it. Chuck, that's a movie hack. Everyone.
Speaker 1: I don't get much. I usually sometimes if I have
Speaker 1: had nothing to eat, I will get some popcorn because
Speaker 1: I do like popcorn in a movie. UM, very very rarely.
Speaker 1: While I fully indulge in do the popcorn with like
Speaker 1: the M and m's. But every now and then, um,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big soda guy. Maybe once or twice
Speaker 1: a year I might get a root beer with my popcorn.
Speaker 1: And that's if I'm in just that big Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: going to the movie's mode. I like a cherry coke.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna actually have a decadent soda, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have a cherry coke. Mind a root beer from a fountain. Um,
Speaker 1: in a bottle. I prefer the fant orange or orange crush. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I have like three of those a year, very
Speaker 1: very rare treat. But what I'll generally do everyone is
Speaker 1: sneak in my bottle of water, and that's kind of
Speaker 1: all I need because I have a legendary tiny bladder.
Speaker 1: You ever sneak in booze? I don't want to be
Speaker 1: in nah? Not No, I'm not a big movie drinker. No,
Speaker 1: not even at night drink into a nighttime show. I
Speaker 1: don't go to nighttime shows. And if I do and
Speaker 1: I want a drink, I'll go to one where I
Speaker 1: can get a drink. No, because again, I'll just I'll
Speaker 1: be up being Have you ever been to like the
Speaker 1: Nighthawk in Brooklyn before what is that? It's a really
Speaker 1: really cool indie kind of food movie theater where you
Speaker 1: can get like food and drinks and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It's like all they do, like all the prints. Um,
Speaker 1: I kind of want to say, well, I don't remember exactly,
Speaker 1: but you can look at other there's only one. Um,
Speaker 1: there might be too, but they but they pretty exclusively
Speaker 1: show like prints of weird old movies. Like I saw
Speaker 1: a Bad Lieutenant there on print and it was like
Speaker 1: a very damaged looking print. So it felt like you
Speaker 1: were watching like a seventies movie. And I forgot that
Speaker 1: movie was like in the nineties, but it looks like
Speaker 1: the seventies because of the way New York looked in
Speaker 1: the time when it was shot. It still is very scummy,
Speaker 1: dirty New York. But yeah, if you're around there, I
Speaker 1: thought it was maybe in Williamsburg. Yeah, it seems like
Speaker 1: a Williamsburg E type thing. To check that out. It's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. By the way, everyone, I'm gonna plug a
Speaker 1: live appearance. I'm I am going to New York to
Speaker 1: do a live show with we know his parenting from
Speaker 1: our network. My buddies Peter and Beth, who have both
Speaker 1: been on this show. Beth Newell did uh Bridget John's Diary.
Speaker 1: Peter McNerney did head Big in The Angry Inch. They
Speaker 1: do a parenting show called We Knows Parenting on our network. Uh.
Speaker 1: Peter is an old friend for my TV show, and
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know Beth since then as well. They're
Speaker 1: both awesome and I am. They asked me to come
Speaker 1: do We Know his Parenting Live April at Little Fields
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and I immediately replied, Yeah, sure, I'm all
Speaker 1: over that. So I'd love to see you guys come
Speaker 1: and see me. When is that again? April a Little
Speaker 1: Fields in Brooklyn, We Knows Parenting Live. Um, it will
Speaker 1: be the best opportunity to come, like talk to me
Speaker 1: because it'll be a small venue, intimate, intimate, intimate, intimate.
Speaker 1: They will be passing out to mints, and I'll be
Speaker 1: hanging out before and after I'm talking about Emily's gonna
Speaker 1: go with me, like, uh, but let's talk about kids,
Speaker 1: you know. I am. I've been getting to go to
Speaker 1: New York pretty regularly now for some of the shows
Speaker 1: that I'm working on, and maybe I can make that happen.
Speaker 1: I knows, Hey, see about that it's funny you want
Speaker 1: to just to hang out and looked about booking a
Speaker 1: movie Crush live on the day before and then I
Speaker 1: just said, now no, but we should do that though, No, totally.
Speaker 1: It would be so fun, especially do something like a
Speaker 1: bell house or someone one of the one of the
Speaker 1: smaller venues. Yeah, we should go to Uh yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: get it together. I think we should. That'd be great.
Speaker 1: You and I can do it, piggyback it on a
Speaker 1: on a work trip even. Yeah, maybe what we'll do
Speaker 1: is do like a the first half of the show
Speaker 1: can be like a mini Crushed style, Uh, you and
Speaker 1: I do on our thing, and then maybe it can
Speaker 1: bring someone out and we can both sort of talk
Speaker 1: about a movie. That would be pretty fun, three of us.
Speaker 1: I would love that. All right, let's just do a
Speaker 1: couple of more. Um let me see here. Samantha Bigay,
Speaker 1: our old friend, says, how did the people who choose
Speaker 1: the movie's music gets started in that field? That's a
Speaker 1: good question. I've wondered the same thing because I think
Speaker 1: I would uh very much enjoy doing that. Yeah, spotting
Speaker 1: films or just being like what do you call like
Speaker 1: a music supervisor? Yeah, yeah, yeah, my friend, uh Brett,
Speaker 1: my best pal who was now in the art department.
Speaker 1: He did this, um many many years ago in l
Speaker 1: A when he first moved out there. Wanted to do
Speaker 1: this and what he did and I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there are many ways to do this, but uh,
Speaker 1: he got a job at a small company called Daisy Music.
Speaker 1: It was these two women who did music supervision, and
Speaker 1: he got a job in their office is like a whatever,
Speaker 1: uh kind of do everything guy and assistant type. Um.
Speaker 1: Helped getting clearances and stuff like that. That's what he
Speaker 1: did there. But it was all in the aim of
Speaker 1: getting his foot in the door in music supervision. Um.
Speaker 1: Like many things in l A, there some departments little
Speaker 1: easier to get into than others. Have a feeling music
Speaker 1: supervision is a lockdown more than other departments as far
Speaker 1: as being kind of tough to get into. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how he did it. I imagine that's the best
Speaker 1: way to do it. Just find companies that do that
Speaker 1: and try and get a job on the ground floor,
Speaker 1: you know, or do um maybe if if you have
Speaker 1: the time in the world with all to do an
Speaker 1: indie film for not much money or free volunteer your services,
Speaker 1: and what you're gonna be doing is working with the director.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be called it spotting. That's what they call
Speaker 1: it when you watch a film and you spot it
Speaker 1: as in place music in different spots. And then you're
Speaker 1: gonna be doing a lot of a lot of legal
Speaker 1: in paperwork, you mean emailing and talking with UH bands
Speaker 1: and record labels, and you're gonna be working out deals
Speaker 1: and UH cutting financial deals and then working with legal
Speaker 1: to get that all squared away. So there's that side
Speaker 1: of it. It's not the most fun, but that's all
Speaker 1: part of the If you get to sit there in
Speaker 1: spot that's the fun part. But then you also have
Speaker 1: to make it legit. I've kind of do a decent
Speaker 1: amount of that for some of the series that we
Speaker 1: have worked on here at at House. Stuff works um,
Speaker 1: Like with the Happy Face Show, I found a band
Speaker 1: that was I was able to kind of like get
Speaker 1: use of their back catalog and then also kind of
Speaker 1: collaborate with them on doing some original music and talking
Speaker 1: about the tone and various things like that. And a
Speaker 1: new show that we're working on I'm I have. I
Speaker 1: was tasked with finding like kind of like a motown
Speaker 1: band that was more affordable than licensing motown music, which
Speaker 1: is again it's also like a budgetary thing because you
Speaker 1: watch a movie like uh Captain Marvel when they obviously
Speaker 1: you know, a huge whatever they want line and I'm
Speaker 1: on that budget is for like licensing these songs they've got,
Speaker 1: like Nirvana and like you know, all these huge hit makers. Um.
Speaker 1: But sometimes with these productions that we do, we gotta
Speaker 1: find something that's an approximation of what we're looking for,
Speaker 1: but not the actual thing. And so that's a skill
Speaker 1: as well, and you have to kind of make your
Speaker 1: budget work for you. So yeah, the other neat thing
Speaker 1: that happens sometimes when you don't have a lead of dough, though,
Speaker 1: is you can believe Greta Gerwig very famously and almost
Speaker 1: called it bird Lady Ladybird. Um. I can't remember which
Speaker 1: song or which band, but it was one that she
Speaker 1: loved and was in love with and wrote this very
Speaker 1: famous musician. It's like, listen, I don't have much money.
Speaker 1: I'm doing this little movie, but this song really just
Speaker 1: will put it over the top. And you can do
Speaker 1: that sort of heartfelt plead to an artist and and
Speaker 1: Elton John might be like it's yours for a dollar,
Speaker 1: Like because I believe in this and I believe in you,
Speaker 1: and I believe in this use of this song. So
Speaker 1: that stuff happens. It's kind of cool. It's still like
Speaker 1: a part of the industry that is so heavily negotiated.
Speaker 1: You can get these really great deals as indie filmmaker
Speaker 1: or if if you appeal to someone's good nature. It
Speaker 1: also depends on who owns the rights and like the publisher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's two different sides of that coin. There's publishing in
Speaker 1: the other half because the artist might say, like I'll
Speaker 1: take a dollar, but now you gotta go deal with
Speaker 1: fucking you know, and they universal music. They don't care
Speaker 1: about creative, don't care about better project. They just don't know.
Speaker 1: That's true, all right, man, Uh not many questions this week,
Speaker 1: but this was robust enough, So we're gonna shut it
Speaker 1: down for the day and go to our other jobs
Speaker 1: out other stuff. So thanks everyone for listening, and we'll
Speaker 1: see you next one.
