Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush with Noel and
Speaker 1: Chuck A Chuck. How you doing. I'm you know, it's
Speaker 1: been a it's been a couple of days. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: this will come out Monday. By this time, we will
Speaker 1: probably have a pretty decisive view of who the president
Speaker 1: will be. Uh. I started to relax yesterday, to be honest,
Speaker 1: same once I saw the Math. But we were supposed
Speaker 1: to record on Wednesday morning, and I was really hungover
Speaker 1: and really not in the mood to be fun on
Speaker 1: the show. So we pushed it a day, which I
Speaker 1: think was the right move. Oh, I think you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: I you know, yesterday was good. I took a Xanax
Speaker 1: and had a bath and just sort of disconnected a
Speaker 1: little bit, and uh, it was good. I felt that
Speaker 1: I felt a lot more zen. My dreams were not
Speaker 1: nightmarish Trumpian ghouls coming for me. So yeah, that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't want to hear stalk politics, turn it
Speaker 1: off for the next couple of minutes. Um, But it
Speaker 1: looks like things are are going in Mr Biden's favor,
Speaker 1: and they're Georgia well in the next couple of hours
Speaker 1: in real time, we might even know. With Georgia flipped.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling we might come up a little
Speaker 1: bit short. But hey, dude, you never know. I mean
Speaker 1: either way, look here, my my big thing is just
Speaker 1: the razor thin margins on this whole thing have blown
Speaker 1: me away. Not that I was expecting like a landslide.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know what what the score is, but
Speaker 1: it's just so close that I'm like, really, like really
Speaker 1: like have you been playing attention? Like if? But the
Speaker 1: george A thing is kind of heartening because I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's ever been this close, and it's nice
Speaker 1: and that my vote sort of went somewhere, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, if Georgia fhlips, this will be the first
Speaker 1: time we've gone blue since Clinton one point. Oh so
Speaker 1: that's that was a long time ago. Um, And you know,
Speaker 1: it's just hardening to see people there are on my
Speaker 1: neighborhood facebook page. There are people literally trying to track
Speaker 1: down the four people in our neighborhood who need their
Speaker 1: mail in balloted. Yeah, cured. I've never heard that term before,
Speaker 1: by the way, I love that. Yeah, it's also kind
Speaker 1: of strange, but yeah, I guess that means if something
Speaker 1: doesn't match up signature, there's an error something, you can
Speaker 1: call in and give a couple of pieces of I
Speaker 1: d you know, virtually, and then they make it right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and dude, that's why, to be honest, that was one
Speaker 1: of the big reasons why I didn't vote by mail
Speaker 1: was because well, two reasons. One is I didn't want
Speaker 1: any I didn't want to be a part of any
Speaker 1: of the shenanigans of what was sure to come, which
Speaker 1: is now actually happy, which is people saying mail in
Speaker 1: votes are fraudulent. So I was like, I'm gonna vote
Speaker 1: in person. But the other thing is my signature never
Speaker 1: looks the same, and I have no idea what it
Speaker 1: looked like whenever the heck I registered to vote to
Speaker 1: guarantee you I couldn't match it. No, it's true, Um
Speaker 1: I did. I did the early voting thing and felt
Speaker 1: great about it, and it was super quick and efficient. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the thing now, looks like Georgia, it
Speaker 1: looks like we're reporting, um, but we're still not at
Speaker 1: fifty percent on either side, Like we're forty nine point
Speaker 1: two for Biden forty nine point six, so there's gonna
Speaker 1: be recounts either way. It sounds like, uh, but Noel.
Speaker 1: Moving on from politics, we uh. We celebrated our our
Speaker 1: crust reversary yesterday or two days ago on election day.
Speaker 1: That was three years, baby three. I didn't realize it
Speaker 1: was three. My god, three years. That's amazing. I made
Speaker 1: a nice post about it, and I saw it. It
Speaker 1: was very love when when you were but a but
Speaker 1: a fledgling. You weren't a fledgling, but you were for
Speaker 1: movie Crush, you were a fledgling niture. I hadn't developed
Speaker 1: arms or legs yet at that point. I was just
Speaker 1: sort of like a torso with little nubs like you're
Speaker 1: on other shows that I was just working on this show.
Speaker 1: Do you're I can't shake you here like a You're
Speaker 1: like a sick vote that needs to be cured. I
Speaker 1: need to be cure. You know. It's funny, I was.
Speaker 1: I get reached out to occasionally, but listeners on Instagram
Speaker 1: and are followed, and I don't follow everyone back, but
Speaker 1: if it's like a cool artist or something interesting about
Speaker 1: your page, I'll follow you back. And this guy, Atlanta
Speaker 1: artist followed me Pack the Ripper um really really cool
Speaker 1: stuff like kind of psychedelic graffiti ish type art. But
Speaker 1: he was talking about how he's been listening to something
Speaker 1: I don't want you to know since the beginning, and
Speaker 1: listening to uh this show since the beginning, and that
Speaker 1: it has gotten him through some like quote dark times. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's always cool to hear when people actually reach
Speaker 1: out and and let you know that. You know, we're
Speaker 1: not just shouting into the Abyss all the time. So
Speaker 1: that was nice. The Abyss noal, the Abyss shouting to
Speaker 1: the Abyss, and the Abyss shouts back. You know. I
Speaker 1: think the movie the Abyss kind of holds up except
Speaker 1: for the silvery c g I effects. I don't know
Speaker 1: about those really. I think it doesn't look too bad.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. I haven't seen it. All I know
Speaker 1: is that was sort of the proto T one thousand,
Speaker 1: and I think even those effects in Terminator two don't
Speaker 1: hold up as as well as some of the other
Speaker 1: aspects of that movie. So I just assumed. But then
Speaker 1: you're right. It is much more of like an amorphous
Speaker 1: blobby specific thing. And in the Abyss, I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: give it a chance. How do you feel about these
Speaker 1: uh this this new Avatar series, like fifteen years after
Speaker 1: the original, do you think anyone's gonna care? Chuck? Oh, well, Um,
Speaker 1: I can sum up my feeling in five words and
Speaker 1: all I don't give a ship. Okay there, I really
Speaker 1: don't care. Man. I know there are some people that
Speaker 1: stand by Avatar and really loved that movie, and like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? We care? I am of
Speaker 1: the belief that there has never been a movie that
Speaker 1: made so much money that people cared so little about
Speaker 1: a year later. Yeah, I mean it was. It was.
Speaker 1: It was definitely like Super It was at that time
Speaker 1: where there were some like good three D movies like
Speaker 1: what was it Gravity? That made good use of three D?
Speaker 1: I I am of the mind I think we're on
Speaker 1: the same page that three D is sort of a
Speaker 1: bullshit gimmick and unless it's animated, that's right, and and
Speaker 1: and so Gravity was like, oh, this is like a
Speaker 1: ride and it actually I was good acting and it
Speaker 1: was cool. Avatar kind of felt like that to me. Um,
Speaker 1: but you're right, it was just so forgettable and to
Speaker 1: like hang your hat as a filmmaker like James Cameron,
Speaker 1: maybe he's got some magic up as sleeve, but I
Speaker 1: just you know, yeah, you know. My deal with James
Speaker 1: Cameron is I think he makes some really fun, pretty
Speaker 1: great movies at times, but I don't think he's a
Speaker 1: great writer. I think he could bring in a screenwriter
Speaker 1: to really make these take these movies over the top.
Speaker 1: But um, I do want to see more from him,
Speaker 1: But I don't want to see more Avatar though, Like
Speaker 1: I wish he hadn't spent whatever how many years has
Speaker 1: he been working on the sequels that I think very
Speaker 1: few people really want. I mean, I'm gonna see it.
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm gonna boycott Avatar two in three
Speaker 1: or however many he's making. I'll check it out and
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will look pretty amazing and stuff. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I know Kate Winsleton and Kay
Speaker 1: wins listen and I've seen some like behind the scenes
Speaker 1: shots of her and some sort of diving tank with
Speaker 1: the weird cape or something like she broke Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: is record you saw that right for like free diving
Speaker 1: breath holding for breath holding Tom Cruise by a full minute.
Speaker 1: I like Kay Winslets. She's a pistol. She's always she
Speaker 1: always gives it her all, you know, Yeah, she's one
Speaker 1: of one of the best actors of her generation, I think,
Speaker 1: and a little easy on the eyes, you know, not
Speaker 1: not hard on him. Well, that lady just said a
Speaker 1: thing that never mind, just gloss on past that I
Speaker 1: really loved Heavenly Creatures. To me, that is still my
Speaker 1: favorite of her performances, and it's like her one of
Speaker 1: her first. And that Peter Jackson movie that people often
Speaker 1: forget about because it's not as Peter Jackson e as
Speaker 1: most Peter Jackson movies. I haven't seen that since it
Speaker 1: was out. I mean I saw that early on and geez,
Speaker 1: that was how many years ago? Was that NOL twenty
Speaker 1: something years ago? Yeah, I mean i'd ever sent and
Speaker 1: it was I apologized for not remembering her name, but
Speaker 1: her co star in that film, Melanie Lyndskey, I think
Speaker 1: that's right, that's exactly right. She did not go on
Speaker 1: to be as big a star, but she has been
Speaker 1: very consistent in in film and TV, you know. Ever,
Speaker 1: so she's great. I think, I mean, she's wonderful. She's
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. She's been in. She was in
Speaker 1: that TV show with Amanda Pete and Duplas that was
Speaker 1: so good. That had too short of a run. I
Speaker 1: can't remember the name of it. It It was really really good.
Speaker 1: I think it was HBO. And she's been in a
Speaker 1: couple of my favorite little indie movies. That's more of
Speaker 1: the route she took. But I think she's wonderful. Big
Speaker 1: fan of Melanie Lyndsky. Yea love it, nol love it.
Speaker 1: Catching up? What else is happening, man, Well, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you Noel. I love October and Halloween a lot, and
Speaker 1: I love watching these scary movies that I've never seen before. Uh. Finally,
Speaker 1: I don't think you were on the the last round table,
Speaker 1: but I finally saw my first rob zombie movie. Um.
Speaker 1: I saw The House of a Housand Corpses. That's one
Speaker 1: of the good ones. I think I enjoyed it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see Double's Rejects too. Yeah, I haven't said. Everyone
Speaker 1: I talked to said that the third one in that
Speaker 1: trilogy isn't really great. Uh. And then I don't really
Speaker 1: care so much about his Halloween efforts whatever. I'm just
Speaker 1: not a big remake guy. You know, like you got Halloween,
Speaker 1: you got your John Carpenter Halloween. Why do you need
Speaker 1: all these other Halloween's um, but Devil's Rejects is cool.
Speaker 1: It's like he's he's got a genuine love for schlocky,
Speaker 1: you know, seventies cinema, and he does a pretty good
Speaker 1: job of it. And he's always just been an interesting guy.
Speaker 1: I liked White Zombie even their music videos, and he
Speaker 1: was like anate, did weird animations, and he's just an
Speaker 1: interesting dude. He did a really cool sequence in the
Speaker 1: Beavis and butt Head movie when they're tripping on like
Speaker 1: acid I guess, or they're in the desert and uh,
Speaker 1: and then everything starts getting all rob Zombi, Fie and Melty.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I didn't see that movie. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was about to do America. Did not see that, but
Speaker 1: I do love uh. I did love a house with
Speaker 1: a thousand corpses, and I thought it his zeal for filmmaking. Really.
Speaker 1: You can tell he's a fan of film making films,
Speaker 1: which is always a nice thing, good stuff. But no,
Speaker 1: that is all to say. I am happy to be
Speaker 1: moving on from Halloween content on the show to Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: content exclusively. I'm sure, right, Yeah, there's only one Thanksgiving movie.
Speaker 1: What even is It's it's usually some like domestic dispute
Speaker 1: film where like family gets together for half for Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: and yells at each other. Yeah, I mean there was
Speaker 1: obviously planes, trains and automobiles is probably the best example
Speaker 1: of a Thanksgiving movie. Uh, And there's been a couple
Speaker 1: of others, but it's not the biggest. People usually save
Speaker 1: their uh filmmaking heartwarming filmmaking experiences for Christmas, is true,
Speaker 1: It's it's another thing too, like like what even is
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving decor like the stores go straight from Halloween leap
Speaker 1: right for Christmas. There's no in between, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the reason I got stumbled there and almost because
Speaker 1: I almost said save their Christmas load. That's okay, that's
Speaker 1: the thing, but that that seemed weird and vaguely sexual.
Speaker 1: It's you know, that's a load. Is like, that's like
Speaker 1: what Santa Claus carries around his presence in it's this
Speaker 1: Christmas load. I saw the this morning. There was a
Speaker 1: garbage The headline was garbage truck on East Ponds, which
Speaker 1: is a big thoroughfare here in Atlanta. Garbage truck on
Speaker 1: East Ponts catches fire, dumps Flaming load, And I was like,
Speaker 1: Flaming Load. That's a band name sure as Yeah, the
Speaker 1: slightly more aggressive spiritual successor to the Flaming lips. Right,
Speaker 1: Flaming Load opens for Flaming Liot. I love it. So No,
Speaker 1: we are moving on in the best possible way. We're
Speaker 1: only gonna do one thing in this uh, in this
Speaker 1: first episode uh and then addition to the stream this
Speaker 1: at the end. But we are going to talk about
Speaker 1: where is it? I got too many tabs open all.
Speaker 1: We gotta go down and find out because on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, on Wednesday when we were supposed to record,
Speaker 1: it was the birthday of a little actor by the
Speaker 1: name of Matthew McConaughey. Turns out he's only three feet tall.
Speaker 1: He is almost my age. I didn't realize that. I
Speaker 1: thought he was a few years older, but he's about
Speaker 1: a year and three months older by the calendar. Alright, alright, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: And by the way, did you know that Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: was canvassing my neighborhood the other night? Door to door?
Speaker 1: I saw that he was in town because Killer Mike
Speaker 1: posted there was like some kind of private comedy show
Speaker 1: that he did here in town. Well, he's doing SNL
Speaker 1: this weekend, so he did like three warm up shows
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and they weren't private, they were just super
Speaker 1: exclusive because of COVID. Yeah, they were also pretty indoors
Speaker 1: and looking and not particularly social deed, but yeah, because
Speaker 1: everyone had to have a COVID test. Oh there you go.
Speaker 1: He tested. They did rapid testing on everyone that came
Speaker 1: in the door, which is a pretty smart way to
Speaker 1: do it. That is a smart way to do it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was canvasing. He was voter camasing going
Speaker 1: door to door in Kirkwood and East like, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That would have been a hoot to open the door
Speaker 1: and have Old Dave there. It was. I was definitely
Speaker 1: peeking out my door. I doubt if he would have
Speaker 1: come to my house, but you never know, No, you
Speaker 1: never know, alright, No, So Matthew McConaughey's birthday, I just
Speaker 1: asked the Crusher is very simply, what's your favorite role?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the man? I feel great
Speaker 1: about the man um I've always sort of thought that
Speaker 1: maybe he lacked a little range, but he's he's proven
Speaker 1: that not to be the case. He's he's got he's
Speaker 1: got some definite chops, like you know, obviously like won
Speaker 1: an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club. Um. I loved him
Speaker 1: and true Detective. I think that might be my favorite
Speaker 1: role of his True D True D. The first one
Speaker 1: the O G true G great. Um. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I mentioned was a whe I actually had a
Speaker 1: call with him once for a podcast related thing. He
Speaker 1: it was just a phone call, wasn't a zoom or anything.
Speaker 1: But he was exactly as as you would think. He
Speaker 1: was asking all these questions and um, I got to
Speaker 1: chime in and like respond quite a few times to him,
Speaker 1: and he was very easy going and just wanted to
Speaker 1: know more about this whole podcast thing man, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: and it was pretty cool. We didn't end up doing
Speaker 1: it with him, whatever it was, but it was neat
Speaker 1: to uh to chat with him about it. I love it. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. You get to talk to a
Speaker 1: lot of cool people. I do. I'm sure he remembers you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he does. I made a real impression, indelible.
Speaker 1: Remember remember that guy? No like I like I like that.
Speaker 1: I like the kind of his gem man, you know, alright,
Speaker 1: injective is I think I could say I'd quickly say
Speaker 1: that is my favorite, like Matthew is like at his matthewist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I hate to be so on the no
Speaker 1: to here nol, but I gotta go with Wooterson. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've liked him in so many roles, but iconic movie,
Speaker 1: iconic character. My story is when that movie came out
Speaker 1: and he was an unknown, I was one thousand percent
Speaker 1: convinced that he was a real dude, not an actor.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, oh man, Richard link Ladder got
Speaker 1: this dude that hangs out in Austin and is not
Speaker 1: an actor to play this guy and it's perfect. And
Speaker 1: then later on found out it was Matthew McConaughey, like
Speaker 1: a year later, once he became a little bit more
Speaker 1: of a known quantity, and I didn't I didn't know
Speaker 1: what to bleek because it was pre Internet, and I
Speaker 1: was like, no, that wasn't that guy because he looks
Speaker 1: so different. And I went back and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's he's a real actor. Totally shocked me.
Speaker 1: Isn't he an Austin guy like through and through? Or
Speaker 1: did I make that up? Like he he lives there.
Speaker 1: I think he's Texas. He Austin thought he was for
Speaker 1: some reason like he maybe I know he's a big
Speaker 1: University of Texas fan, which is out of Austin because
Speaker 1: he goes to those games and stuff. But yeah, he's
Speaker 1: he's probably from the suburbs of Austin, ye would be
Speaker 1: my guess. But we're gonna start off with Katie Walker here.
Speaker 1: She says, is my recollection right, and remembering it is
Speaker 1: also your birthday? Chuck, uh no, it's not, Katie. God,
Speaker 1: I'm glad because I would have felt like a real
Speaker 1: heel now my birthdays in March. But she says willis
Speaker 1: Newton in the Newton Boys. Very underrated role. Newton Boys
Speaker 1: is fun. I don't know who the Newton Boys. Is
Speaker 1: that like a heist movie? Are they? Like? It was
Speaker 1: another movie? It was a Western? But yeah, what western?
Speaker 1: The Newton Boys were bank robbers in the Old West.
Speaker 1: I think Ethan Hawk was in it. Of course is
Speaker 1: I do not recall it really quick sidebar just before
Speaker 1: I don't want to hold us up. But did you
Speaker 1: know the movie Slacker? Right, the Richard link Lader? I, um,
Speaker 1: you familiar with the Church of the SubGenius, Chuck, so,
Speaker 1: Bob Dobbs right, there's a documentary that just came out. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just called Bob Dobbs in the Church of the
Speaker 1: sub Genius. And I've had friends throughout my life that
Speaker 1: we're really into that whole world. It's like a jokey
Speaker 1: kind of cult that also is a real cult, but
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing looking up folks, fascinating world. But
Speaker 1: they have this concept in sub Genius called slack and
Speaker 1: that's like what you want to have to to to
Speaker 1: attain slack. And that is what Slacker was based on,
Speaker 1: was a lot of these folks that Link Ladder knew
Speaker 1: who were early SubGenius folks, and that's kind of what
Speaker 1: he based those characters on. And the term slackers came
Speaker 1: from Church of the sub Genius. I love it. Great movie,
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. That movie really opened my eyes
Speaker 1: to independent film back in the day. And you know
Speaker 1: the other little tidbit there and all I know, you
Speaker 1: know this, oops, let me trun that off is uh,
Speaker 1: you know the guy in the car with a loud
Speaker 1: speaker driving around town. Yippen and yappen. You know who
Speaker 1: that is? No, that's Alex Jones. Alex Jones, that's right.
Speaker 1: And he's also makes an appearance in Waking Life as
Speaker 1: his more Alex jones e self, because Alex Jones like
Speaker 1: originally was he was a Texas like kind of shock
Speaker 1: jock or like like what's the word, public access host,
Speaker 1: and he's sort of just was more of like a
Speaker 1: joke and then he sort of leaned into this persona
Speaker 1: that he created somebody. Well, some would certainly say that,
Speaker 1: and I would be one of them. But what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is he didn't take himself as seriously that as
Speaker 1: he maybe does now in terms of like I am
Speaker 1: speaking the truth. He was more just playing sort of
Speaker 1: like a weirdo. Yeah, totally Christopher when he says days
Speaker 1: and confuses up there of course in Dallas Buyers Club,
Speaker 1: but nothing will ever be true. Detective Nick Kelly definitely true.
Speaker 1: Detective or Old pal Banessa Lopez has probably Sahara movie.
Speaker 1: Didn't see uh admittally, I haven't seen him in some
Speaker 1: of his more serious roles. But Sahara was a fun
Speaker 1: go to sick day movie. Okay. I think it's like adventure,
Speaker 1: like an adventure ROMP kind of thing. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: see that one. Uh. Norma Brunson says Mickey Holler from
Speaker 1: the Lincoln Lawyer did not see that. I've heard it
Speaker 1: was pretty good every time I hear that, though, I
Speaker 1: just think Lincoln logs, I don't know why. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I do know why because it sounds like as exactly.
Speaker 1: Ashley m. Neville says. Or Neville says his performance and
Speaker 1: Interstellar was breathtaking. This is more all over the place
Speaker 1: than I thought, Noel, because I'm not even cherry picking.
Speaker 1: I'm going in order, and we've had no repeats, Becalu
Speaker 1: almost no repeats. Becca lu says Rain of Fire. Did
Speaker 1: you see that a dragon movie? I would as Dragon Hunting?
Speaker 1: It was great. But did he like do his like
Speaker 1: Southern charming, like you know, Texas boy stick or did
Speaker 1: he like try to do a British accent or something.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. I don't think it was either.
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, I'm looking as I am dB right,
Speaker 1: because he's been so much stuff, so much stuff. Old
Speaker 1: pal Jonathan Cooley says his performance and frailty is so
Speaker 1: under stated in Haunting. I was going to say that one.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, big time, That's that's good all right? Uh? Eric,
Speaker 1: oh this is fine. Eric Torgensen says, I gotta go
Speaker 1: with Buster Moon and Sing. Probably the role of seeing them.
Speaker 1: It's because of an eight year old. Did you ever
Speaker 1: see that one? All Sing? It's an animated film with
Speaker 1: a lot of songs that people sing. That was one
Speaker 1: of Ruby's very early movies, and it kind of fell
Speaker 1: off our radar. We haven't seen it in you know,
Speaker 1: probably three years. She saw that when she was like two.
Speaker 1: There's a sequel on the horizon. Fore sing to sing too,
Speaker 1: More sang and sing again, keep saying, still singing. Our
Speaker 1: old buddy Stellan Carlson is sort of cool on him
Speaker 1: because I think most of his performances are just all right,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, get it, huh. I was good.
Speaker 1: I liked him in Just Kidding. I liked him in
Speaker 1: Dallas Buyer's Club, in that one scene where he's sort
Speaker 1: of like the cokey lawyer that sort of like teaches
Speaker 1: Leo DiCaprio how to like you know, du blow in
Speaker 1: the in the the the whatever, like lawyer, fancy restaurant
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know what I mean. Like it's just
Speaker 1: just a good quintessential like taking him under his wing,
Speaker 1: kind of making his like a you know, a skis
Speaker 1: bag kind of thing. She one like Stallas Buyers Club
Speaker 1: though Masterbull perform uh performances. I have not seen it.
Speaker 1: Oh you still haven't seen that. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: I know why. I just lately, I just I don't
Speaker 1: go for the over the top, dramatic, heavy movies. I
Speaker 1: thought you just said the scene from Dallas Buyers Club.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I
Speaker 1: meant Wolf of Wall Street. Okay, Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 1: That let me sorry. That's the scene where he takes
Speaker 1: Leonard DiCaprio takes him for lunch and asked me. He says,
Speaker 1: he says, like I want to help to ski. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like classic, like you know, southern Brandy McDonald said,
Speaker 1: love him and dates confused. But I don't know if
Speaker 1: anyone could have done his role in a Time to
Speaker 1: Kill like he did. Yeah, I always forget about those
Speaker 1: what's that writer's name? Yeah, that's not my thing. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna but I just I don't usually. That'saw the
Speaker 1: firm back in the day, But that was about it.
Speaker 1: My cousin was in the firm. Yeah, it was back that.
Speaker 1: It was shot in Memphis and they were in Memphis.
Speaker 1: And there's just uh, a little shot. She's a background extra,
Speaker 1: but she filled the frame. Was that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: He was a distinct close up of my cousin with
Speaker 1: like a Sparkler or something. Is that? Do you get
Speaker 1: extra cash for that? If you feel the frame, you
Speaker 1: gotta say something. You gotta say something. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: have a line or interact with an actor in some way,
Speaker 1: like you get a bump. Even if you'd walk in
Speaker 1: and like hand someone a piece of copy paper or something.
Speaker 1: Got it, Like if you walk in in hand Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey a folio, then you get a little bump as
Speaker 1: an extra. So if if she had handed somebody that's Sparkler,
Speaker 1: that would have been she would have handed Tom Cruiser Sparkler.
Speaker 1: She would have gotten a bump. Got it, got it?
Speaker 1: He was in a pretty under appreciated maybe because it's bad.
Speaker 1: I remember liking a horror sequel called Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Speaker 1: The Next Generation Starting. I think that might have been
Speaker 1: his first movie renee Zellwigger. No, No, this would have
Speaker 1: been after after that. It was both of their first films.
Speaker 1: I think maybe you're right. I guess it was trying
Speaker 1: to get a year here on IMDb ninety four, though
Speaker 1: when it was Days and Confused, it was that I
Speaker 1: thought it was earlier than that. Well, I was right
Speaker 1: around there because I saw it towards the end of college.
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. He has like a robot leg
Speaker 1: or something. Though, if I'm not mistaken in in in
Speaker 1: real life and in Texas Jane's I'm Master the Next Generation,
Speaker 1: oh Ship. Paul Legner says really liked him in Mud
Speaker 1: when I watched it for the first time. That's another
Speaker 1: good one, nol. He's been in a lot of really
Speaker 1: good movies. Mud was great. Did you see that? I
Speaker 1: have not, but I've heard it was wonderful and it
Speaker 1: was definitely like a buzzy movie that year. Lindia Barnett
Speaker 1: one of our old friends. It's a newer one, but
Speaker 1: I loved him in The Gentleman, perfect roll for him.
Speaker 1: I haven't even heard that the Gentleman, the Gentleman or
Speaker 1: the Gentleman who knows? Oh Ship? You remember Killer Joe?
Speaker 1: Killer Joe? I saw as a play. Actually, um, it's
Speaker 1: it was written by what's his face? Right? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: was no, I'll not a second it was I know
Speaker 1: who it was, but Aaron Huey Mizele, one of our
Speaker 1: oldest of friends, says, definitely not Killer Joe. That chicken
Speaker 1: drumstick scene was distressing. I loved Killer Joe. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's out there. You really got to be up for
Speaker 1: that kind of movie totally. But I thought it was
Speaker 1: a lot like a lot of fun right. It was
Speaker 1: Tracy Lets and William Friedkin directed it. Of of the
Speaker 1: Exorcist fame Um. I didn't see the movie, but I
Speaker 1: did see the play like The Exorcist in some ways,
Speaker 1: it's great. Oh here we go. I forgot about this too.
Speaker 1: Little cameo and tropic Thunder. Michael McCord's has been Stiller's
Speaker 1: agent Traum big Thunder. I don't think he's made me
Speaker 1: laugh more he's I mean, there's nothing about that movie
Speaker 1: that doesn't crack me up. It's really funny, though, Like
Speaker 1: that movie is one of the only movies where someone
Speaker 1: gets a pass kind of for doing a blackface ish
Speaker 1: scenario because it's such high satire and knows exactly what
Speaker 1: it's doing. And sure, could you take it out of
Speaker 1: context and blasted the inter and say, you know, Robert,
Speaker 1: of course they were, But what I'm saying is out
Speaker 1: of context. That's exactly the kind of thing that cancel
Speaker 1: culture could like glom Onto, but that hasn't happened. And
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. Yeah, I mean that movie had
Speaker 1: many not PC things going on in it, but it's
Speaker 1: such layered satire that you can't like it knows what
Speaker 1: it's doing, you know. Yeah, people, we can't lose satire.
Speaker 1: Come on, I'm all about doing the right thing, but
Speaker 1: we can't lose satire. Let me ask you this that
Speaker 1: I've been having this conversation lately, like something. We had
Speaker 1: a really great interview on stuff that I want you
Speaker 1: to know with this fantastic journalist named Jake Hanrahan who
Speaker 1: does a podcast for US called um Q Clearance and
Speaker 1: it's about Q and on and that whole crazy conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory thing. And he used the term that I hadn't
Speaker 1: really heard before, but that we're living in a post
Speaker 1: truth society. Um the idea that, like the very notion
Speaker 1: of truth is kind of questionable. It's difficult to quantify
Speaker 1: when people just don't care um and and along with
Speaker 1: that comes the the loss of impact of comedy and satire. Sure,
Speaker 1: and it's because it's really difficult to make fun of
Speaker 1: something when it in and of itself is its own parody.
Speaker 1: It's so over the top and ridiculous. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about that, like, just the idea of like, is
Speaker 1: satire impossible at this day and age? Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's impossible as long as you you can do it.
Speaker 1: People might yell and scream about it, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta be able to do I mean, satire is one
Speaker 1: of the It's one of my favorite kinds of comedy
Speaker 1: because it's funny and you're also making a very subversive
Speaker 1: statement about something, and it also flies over the heads
Speaker 1: of dumb dumbs. Uh. And that's that's my favorite kind
Speaker 1: of comedy. I tot it's it's intelligent. When I was
Speaker 1: reading the Onion in high school, you know, it was, uh,
Speaker 1: it was always sort of part of my world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh same, Yeah. And then that, you know how in
Speaker 1: a world where regular headlines feel like Onion headlines, I
Speaker 1: saw one the other day, an Onion headline about the
Speaker 1: vote that said that had a picture of a guy,
Speaker 1: like a militia dope um standing right behind a guy
Speaker 1: that was voting in the voting booth, and it said,
Speaker 1: voter intimidation is not a real thing. Uh the militia
Speaker 1: man whispered in the ear of the man casting its vote.
Speaker 1: Right right, I love it all right. Austin Debski, one
Speaker 1: of our oldest friends, said he's come so far as
Speaker 1: an actor, but to me, he'll always be the shirtless
Speaker 1: for No Reason rom com star Failure to Launch. Hey
Speaker 1: you listen, man. If you want a fun, little romantic
Speaker 1: comedy and you want to turn your brain off and
Speaker 1: be charmed by a couple of good looking people, watch
Speaker 1: Failure to Launch. Watch. Uh uh, what's the fucking one
Speaker 1: with Goldie Hans daughter? Not ten Things I Hate about You?
Speaker 1: Something like I had it in front of me. It
Speaker 1: was something conversations about one thing. Uh oh man, everyone's yelling.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry Everyonehere is it? Where is it? Here's Judson.
Speaker 1: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past was one No no, but that's
Speaker 1: that's in that same world. There was a fool Gold
Speaker 1: Fool Gold. No, that's the other one that he made
Speaker 1: with her. Yeah, she's in that one. That's okay. How
Speaker 1: to lose a guy in ten days there. I knew
Speaker 1: there was a tin in there. Um you know that
Speaker 1: movie is what it is, but it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: She's charming, he's charming. Not great, it's not great filmmaking.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I like him. I like a
Speaker 1: little brainless rom com every now and then. No, I'm
Speaker 1: not seeing that on his list how to lose a
Speaker 1: guy in ten days? Sure, he's the guy. Did you
Speaker 1: lose him? And remember his character's name? How many days
Speaker 1: did it take for her to lose him? And I
Speaker 1: don't know spoilers, it's the premises, are your damn right?
Speaker 1: That is of course? Uh that this Kate Hudson, I
Speaker 1: believe is a magazine writer in his task with um
Speaker 1: dating a guy and then I think breaking up with
Speaker 1: him in ten days or no, no, no, getting him
Speaker 1: to break up with her in ten days by being
Speaker 1: like super clingy and being all these things that supposedly
Speaker 1: guys don't like. And you know, you can guess how
Speaker 1: that one turns out. Yeah, there's the other one where
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore had to play. It was called Never Been
Speaker 1: Kissed and she had to play like fake herself into
Speaker 1: high school to write a piece about what it's like
Speaker 1: dating in high school. That was fun. It was fun,
Speaker 1: I tell you though. Uh it's not on him. I
Speaker 1: know he's in and I'm not questioning that. I'm not
Speaker 1: questioning the nature of reality. But it's funny it's not
Speaker 1: on his IMDb filmography. What yeah, oh no, don't lie.
Speaker 1: I came out in two thousand three. We've got out there.
Speaker 1: It is. Sorry, okay, move on there it is. I
Speaker 1: thought there was a conspiracy of foot like he was
Speaker 1: trying to erase this film from the internet. All right,
Speaker 1: let's just do a couple of more. Todd Frederick says this.
Speaker 1: Check out Tiptoes from two thousand three. You know what,
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, Yes, I went to the rat
Speaker 1: party for that. Did I ever tell the story? No
Speaker 1: about my Matthew McConaughey experience. Peter Dinklig is in it.
Speaker 1: The holy sh it. So here's here's the deal. My
Speaker 1: buddy Scotty who has been on this show. You know Scotty,
Speaker 1: he worked as a camera assistant on Tiptoes is when
Speaker 1: we all lived in l A together, and Matthew McConaughey
Speaker 1: was in it. Gary Oldman was in it. Um Kate Beckinsale.
Speaker 1: I think a couple of other people, Patrici Arquette, Peter
Speaker 1: dan I went to the rat party with Scotty. So
Speaker 1: it was at this bar and Los Felis where we
Speaker 1: lived in our neighborhood. Scotty live right down the street,
Speaker 1: and so we walked down there. Um. Kind of a
Speaker 1: interesting party for a couple of reasons. One is Ron
Speaker 1: Jeremy was there and sitting in a booth. Ron Jeremy
Speaker 1: was sitting in a booth with the little person from
Speaker 1: Twin Peaks I believe his name was Michael Mike Anderson
Speaker 1: or Michael Anderson. He was sitting in Ron Jeremy's lap.
Speaker 1: That's about the most l a thing, a story you
Speaker 1: could ever tell, right. And I went over to Ron
Speaker 1: Jeremy and actually spoke to him because I was kind
Speaker 1: of drunk, and I said, said, Mr Jeremy, I just
Speaker 1: want to come over and say hello, shook his hand
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, you want to you want a lady?
Speaker 1: You want a girl here? What do you mean? He said,
Speaker 1: do you want a girl here? I said, uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, and he said because they're giving him out
Speaker 1: like raffle tickets, and then he would smell the breeze.
Speaker 1: I will never forget it all. I will never forget
Speaker 1: that mud. It was amazing, and then the dude from
Speaker 1: Twin Peaks said it all backwards. Yeah, he went rattle. Uh.
Speaker 1: It was very very funny. So then end of the
Speaker 1: night comes. I can't believe I never told the story.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have. Uh my buddy Scotty sends over a
Speaker 1: couple of tequila shots, or sends over tequila shot to
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey, and he kind of looks down at us
Speaker 1: and like, you know, gives us the old alright, all right,
Speaker 1: and we all took our shots without like approaching one other.
Speaker 1: He tim feed across the room. Then after the thing,
Speaker 1: there was a parking lot scene and we go to
Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey who was talking to other people, and Scotty
Speaker 1: invites him to go back to the apartment to smoke
Speaker 1: some weed and he declines, and it's a little weirded
Speaker 1: out and I was like, I think he recognized you, Scotty,
Speaker 1: as the tequila guy, and now you're trying to get
Speaker 1: him to go back to the apartment. I was like,
Speaker 1: I think you might think like you're hitting on him
Speaker 1: or something. It's like I couldn't really tell. And then
Speaker 1: the most Matthew McConaughey. Thing that's ever happened, Noel happens.
Speaker 1: At the end of the night party disperses from the
Speaker 1: parking lot. We are walking up the street towards Scotty's apartment,
Speaker 1: and probably three feet up the road from the bar,
Speaker 1: we see Matthew McConaughey walking by himself on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1: A car full of girls, young women pulls up and stops.
Speaker 1: We hear the window rolled down and yeappy, happy, happy, happy,
Speaker 1: happy happy happ him kind of leaned down and look
Speaker 1: in and then do you know what happened, nol He
Speaker 1: got in the car. He got in that fucking car
Speaker 1: and left. And that's it, dude. That was like the
Speaker 1: most Matthew McConaughey hang ever. And I don't think these
Speaker 1: were girls from the party either. I think they were
Speaker 1: just riding down the road and and we're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you're Matthew McConaughey, and he, I'm sure, said
Speaker 1: do you girls want a party? And so I can't
Speaker 1: imagine what happened after then they either just had some
Speaker 1: good old clean fun or you know, you know, some
Speaker 1: filthy fun filth. What bar was it? And let's Felis. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It was. Um, it wasn't one of
Speaker 1: the good bars. It was one of these weird restaurants
Speaker 1: that had a big back room with the bar and
Speaker 1: they could kind of rent it out. It wasn't the Dresden,
Speaker 1: No when the Dresden or the drawing Room and great.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my Matthew mcconaugheyst Bright was worth every penny.
Speaker 1: Um and it was smell the Breeze, very Hollywood night.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna finish up with stream this uh
Speaker 1: really quickly. Emily, Uh, we needed some brainless fun over
Speaker 1: the past week. She had never seen the final two
Speaker 1: Avengers movies. Her deal with that is she she enjoys
Speaker 1: those movies, but she will never seek them out. I
Speaker 1: have to be like, hey, you should watch this, you'd
Speaker 1: like it. So we watched Thor, Ragnarok, Shazam, and the
Speaker 1: final two Avengers movies over the past like two weeks,
Speaker 1: and she really liked them all and had a good time.
Speaker 1: We also filled the hole because we wanted to watch
Speaker 1: something kind of classic that we've never seen, and we
Speaker 1: watched the movie Moonstruck. I can't believe I've never seen it. Great,
Speaker 1: great early Nicolas Cage. He's so so good in it,
Speaker 1: and Share was fantastic, really great, great movie, and then
Speaker 1: we're just barreling through Ship's Creek. Still love Ships Creek.
Speaker 1: I've been streaming that one myself. I think Moonstruck came
Speaker 1: up from me recently. I think because of Pretty Woman,
Speaker 1: maybe because I hadn't seen that, and it's maybe in
Speaker 1: the same ilk genre as that moment. Struck is a
Speaker 1: little more substantial. I think that's just kind of take
Speaker 1: got it. But yeah, so I I also would like
Speaker 1: to see Moonstruck. I mean, if you want early, um, great,
Speaker 1: over the top Nicolas Cage, then Moonstruck is for you.
Speaker 1: It's really really great performance. Uh. And my problem with
Speaker 1: Ships and all love it, love it, love it. But
Speaker 1: I hate to complain about actors because you never know
Speaker 1: when someone might be listening. But the couple of side
Speaker 1: characters I think are fairly weak actor wise. The the
Speaker 1: black inc bearded guy that she does road work with.
Speaker 1: Oh sure, it's a fake beard too, right when it
Speaker 1: looks so I mean, he looks like he swam through
Speaker 1: octopus anchor something like. It looks so phony. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's fake it looks very phony. Well but
Speaker 1: he he eventually you know, shaves it and that becomes
Speaker 1: a comedic moment. And well, I don't know anything about that, Nols,
Speaker 1: that don't spoil it. Okay, I don't know how far
Speaker 1: you are in it. It's not that far though, I'm
Speaker 1: only in like maybe the second season. Um in season one. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm You're not wrong, But I also don't
Speaker 1: think he needs to be He's almost like a straight
Speaker 1: man character. Like he the humor comes from him being
Speaker 1: immovably square. Kind of kind of bugs me, though, I think.
Speaker 1: And then the other the the ted, the uh, the veterinarian.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long he sticks around, but he's
Speaker 1: in season one and he kind of bugs too. I
Speaker 1: don't think the same same type though, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. They're meant to play there like relative normalcy
Speaker 1: is meant to play off of the absurdity of what's
Speaker 1: your face? Who? They're both kind of dating. Um. I
Speaker 1: I enjoy the show. I'm with you, though there's there's
Speaker 1: some things about it that aren't perfect, but I think
Speaker 1: it's overall like a really nice show. It makes it
Speaker 1: gives me a certain amount of like comfort and the
Speaker 1: way the office did. I really dig it, Like these
Speaker 1: are friends boy cathr Hera. I mean, everyone's great, but
Speaker 1: she's just when she has license to just go for it. Uh,
Speaker 1: she gets really silly and I love it. Have you
Speaker 1: seen the one where she does the wine commercial yet? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't think I've laughed like by myself in my home.
Speaker 1: You know, you know how it's like laughing can be
Speaker 1: a little performatively. You do it maybe more when you're
Speaker 1: around people, or it's uh, you know, contagious. But at
Speaker 1: the end, when she's like drunk and doing it, I
Speaker 1: was just laughing my ass off by myself, like a
Speaker 1: crazy person. Uh. And that's when I knew, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is fucking good. That scene was so good. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I liked it before she got drunk. That's great to
Speaker 1: nail it. And it was just getting my words slightly wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: especially because it's it's all based around the pomp and
Speaker 1: circumstance of like filming a thing and like, okay, everyone
Speaker 1: on their marks, okay, last looks okay, and action and
Speaker 1: the camera pushes in and it's very it's meant to
Speaker 1: be timed out just right. Yeah, that adds a lot
Speaker 1: to it. So fucking funny, man. I have been just
Speaker 1: blasting my way through. And I watched season two of
Speaker 1: this when it was originally on but the Fargo television series,
Speaker 1: um where I'm all, I've seen it all now except
Speaker 1: for I'm current with the new season. But um, I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen the Billy Bob season and good lord, that
Speaker 1: character he plays, it's like a He's just the most
Speaker 1: like demonic, kind of like supernaturally evil villain of all time.
Speaker 1: And I just love it. Lauren Malvo is his name,
Speaker 1: if it even is his name, But um, god, damn,
Speaker 1: what a great show. Every season has its own thing.
Speaker 1: There's a nice extended universe connectivity to it. But you
Speaker 1: don't have to have that if you don't want it. Um,
Speaker 1: it's just so genius. It's that guy, know Ah Holly,
Speaker 1: who like you know, wrote most of them, I think,
Speaker 1: if not all of them, um and directed some. But
Speaker 1: he's did that show Legion as well, and he's written
Speaker 1: a lot of novels and he's obviously just masterful at this.
Speaker 1: And it had adapting pre existing stuff because Legion was
Speaker 1: based on a comic book as well. But um, I
Speaker 1: just love it. I just think it's so good, so
Speaker 1: well done. I think my favorite season was the one
Speaker 1: with Kirsten Dunst, But I mean there, those first three
Speaker 1: are great. I haven't seen the new season yet because
Speaker 1: I've heard bad things and I don't want to ruin it,
Speaker 1: but I guess I should. How far along are you
Speaker 1: in the new season? Yeah, I've only seen three episode two,
Speaker 1: so I'm not I wouldn't even say I'm exactly current,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna watch it. But no, I gotta turn
Speaker 1: off my fridge. You keep talking for a minute. You
Speaker 1: hear that noise? Yeah, man, what is that? Is that?
Speaker 1: That's your little mini fridge? That that that that gets
Speaker 1: a little cantanker. See, what do we need? No, you
Speaker 1: weren't talking to people you're supposed to entertain that I'm
Speaker 1: doing my I was talking about your mini fridge, and
Speaker 1: then I was, you know, I it was it was
Speaker 1: just so you've been watching Fargo, been watching been watching Fargo?
Speaker 1: Um before we before. I'm trying to think if there's
Speaker 1: a yes, there have been other things. I've been watching
Speaker 1: Ship's Creek. I've been watching that knew that Letterman interview show. Uh,
Speaker 1: my next guest needs no introduction. Um, it's nice, Like
Speaker 1: I did, it wasn't really didn't appeal to me right off.
Speaker 1: And I watched the one with Obama and um, he
Speaker 1: he always has a segment where he sort of takes
Speaker 1: it a little deeper and he goes to a place
Speaker 1: and talks to a person either connected to the main
Speaker 1: person that he's talking to or somewhere adjacent. And he
Speaker 1: talks to John Lewis and walks across the Pettis Bridge,
Speaker 1: you know, with him, which is that historic you know,
Speaker 1: side of the bloody Sunday where the cops just beat
Speaker 1: the ship out of all these peaceful protesters, and we
Speaker 1: was just very poignant and you know, felt very connected
Speaker 1: to what's going on now. And um, it was nice
Speaker 1: to see, you know, a guy who could formulate complete
Speaker 1: sentences used to be the president. Um, it was good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Day that's great man. He's uh, he's very quick
Speaker 1: and and you know, leg there's something about the format
Speaker 1: of a late show that's so sticky and everything has
Speaker 1: to be kind of quick and like moving along, and
Speaker 1: it's nice to see him get lean into an interview
Speaker 1: and sort of like really drink it in and take
Speaker 1: his time as opposed to dislike trying to blast through
Speaker 1: these segments before commercial break. Um, and he seems to
Speaker 1: be enjoying himself too. It's great. I love it alright, Noel. Well,
Speaker 1: that's it for episode one. We're gonna get another one
Speaker 1: in the can right after this. But thank you all
Speaker 1: for listening. Keep the faith, keep your chin up, go
Speaker 1: out in the world and make something great. That's what
