Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush Mini Crush Edition.
Speaker 1: Chuck here in the studio pot City Mark, Atlanta, No
Speaker 1: old to my left, Chuck, I've missed you. I know, man,
Speaker 1: it's been a minute. It's been a minute, a proper minute,
Speaker 1: because we did a batch of these, and then we
Speaker 1: didn't do any for a while, and then I couldn't
Speaker 1: do the last one. I said, like a jerk, you're
Speaker 1: out of town. I was out of town. It was
Speaker 1: it worth while trip. I saw a cool movie. I'll
Speaker 1: mention later. Well let's stick around for that, everybody. So
Speaker 1: welcome everyone. Thanks for chiming in with your social media
Speaker 1: uh answers and questions and posts and things. We'll get
Speaker 1: to those in a minute. But the show has been
Speaker 1: going great. I feel like we're on a bit of
Speaker 1: a role with the guest booking, which is a very
Speaker 1: very soothing feeling, because that's the hardest part of this job,
Speaker 1: booking guest getting people to say yes and then to
Speaker 1: show up. Uh is are two different things, and it's tough,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm trying to get more diverse guests
Speaker 1: in here, so it's not just chucking his pals, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of been happening lately. So we had a
Speaker 1: Emmy winner and Tony Shalhoub. We've had a had a
Speaker 1: Tony winner in coming this summer. I'm gonna wait on
Speaker 1: that one. But David Digs of Hamilton, everybody was in
Speaker 1: our our building. That's pretty exciting. It's super exciting. Our
Speaker 1: our buddy Manguesh made a social media post about it
Speaker 1: where he clearly had a bit of a fanboy moment
Speaker 1: looking through the window, did he I didn't see that,
Speaker 1: so that was great. David was awesome in his movie
Speaker 1: Blind Spotting that he made with his partner in crime,
Speaker 1: Rafael Kassal, is coming out this summer, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: sit on that one and try and time it with
Speaker 1: their movie release because I need these little pr opportunities
Speaker 1: to come along and that always helps. I had a
Speaker 1: Grammy winner that will be coming soon. Loud Wayne right
Speaker 1: the third went and interviewed him in his green room
Speaker 1: before his performance. So now all I need is an
Speaker 1: Oscar winner. Everybody is that the egot and then you'll
Speaker 1: have the egot? Is that what it's called? We have?
Speaker 1: If you win the Oscar, the Ammy, no Oscar Tony,
Speaker 1: that's the egot. I think Whoopee has one. Whoop he's
Speaker 1: got the good Oh we're yeah. And the guy from
Speaker 1: who wrote Frozen and Avenue, Q Lopez is one of
Speaker 1: the Lopezes has as the egt. Why do I think
Speaker 1: that Rita Moreno has the egot? I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: she does, all right, we'll look that up. I didn't
Speaker 1: know Whoopy did good for her. Um. So the guests
Speaker 1: are rolling in, things are going great, UM trying to
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna vary a little bit here and there.
Speaker 1: I decided I can't be so rigid with the format
Speaker 1: when these pr ops come through. For instance, the Broken
Speaker 1: Lizard episode that you just heard, I had all the
Speaker 1: guys in here, which was so much fun. But you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I gotta mix it up and like sometimes I
Speaker 1: forget I forgot to ask David Digs and Raphael there
Speaker 1: are five questions at the end. Yeah. Sometimes people come
Speaker 1: in and they don't even know what they're doing right there,
Speaker 1: like into the room and you kind of got to
Speaker 1: give him the rundown in the Yeah. So I'm trying
Speaker 1: to just roll with it and uh. In David's episode,
Speaker 1: we end up talking more about the movie that they
Speaker 1: made than their movie picks per se. But I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to roll with it, everybody, So I'm hanging there. Um.
Speaker 1: I totally forgot Loud and Wayne right to do the
Speaker 1: Ebert section, but I did ask him the five questions,
Speaker 1: So I'm doing the best I can read a Marina
Speaker 1: totally and he got winner by the way, all right,
Speaker 1: real time looking it up with nol mel Brooks also
Speaker 1: has it. Audrey Hepburn really, Helen Hayes, Richard Rogers of
Speaker 1: She Want a Grammys. Sometimes those people sneak like a
Speaker 1: spoken word in audio book or something. Alright, So we're
Speaker 1: gonna kick it off this week with Social Studies. Social
Speaker 1: put out the call this morning, kind of last minute
Speaker 1: for I believe this one was favorite. We'll go with
Speaker 1: favorite documentary film for this one, and I am going
Speaker 1: to read through a bunch of your answers and I
Speaker 1: try to bounce around. So just because you didn't see
Speaker 1: it first, its first, He's then you won't get ignored.
Speaker 1: So uh, rest assured that if you were low on
Speaker 1: the list, I will try and get to you. Christopher A. Bell,
Speaker 1: he is first, He's King of Kong. If it's full
Speaker 1: of quarters, that's a great, great pick. You heard the
Speaker 1: there's an update to that. Uh oh wait, he just
Speaker 1: got like a band or he got banned. Billy Mitchell,
Speaker 1: who's kind of the douchebag antagonist in that movie. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, triumphs over the underdog who with everyone likes. Um.
Speaker 1: He got accused of cheating at Kong using emulation software
Speaker 1: which you can change the frame rate of it to
Speaker 1: make it slower or you can actually capture video more easily.
Speaker 1: You're kind of fake time. Well, but now he's saying
Speaker 1: that he's got proof that he didn't cheat. But if
Speaker 1: you've seen the movie, he is such a braggadocious um
Speaker 1: hot sauce company impressario, piece of trash. Not not a
Speaker 1: fan of Billy Mitchell. Well, if he's cheating at Donkey Kong,
Speaker 1: then he's, you know, he's a loser. John millsap HBO
Speaker 1: is going clear, totally agree. Great, great, great, Joshua Brennan,
Speaker 1: it might get loud. That was really good. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? I don't know that one? What's that about?
Speaker 1: That was the one with Jimmy Page the Edge and
Speaker 1: Jack White, that's right, talking about playing the guitar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that one was fun. I remember thinking, though I
Speaker 1: wanted more of them in the room together, um, because
Speaker 1: they did all the back stories of each one of them,
Speaker 1: which was great. But once you get those three guys
Speaker 1: in the room, it was kind of felt like the
Speaker 1: third act, and I wanted more of that. Uh. And
Speaker 1: he also mentions be aware of Mr Baker that awesome
Speaker 1: documentary on the Drummer Ginger Baker's and I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: I always see it pop up in my my suggested, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they know, you know, Jacob Thompson Exit through the gift
Speaker 1: Shop of course. So good classic. So it's so metat too,
Speaker 1: like it's almost not. It blurs the line between documentary
Speaker 1: and kind of fiction. Yeah, I love it so much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Kelly Shank, I am not your Negro. I really wanted
Speaker 1: to see that when it was out, but I did
Speaker 1: not get to. But that is on the list for sure.
Speaker 1: That's supposed to be really, really amazing things I've not
Speaker 1: seen any of. Trent More When we Were Kings Man,
Speaker 1: even if you don't like boxing. When We Were Kings
Speaker 1: is one of the great documentaries of all time. Let
Speaker 1: me see here, Oh, Sam Lucien uh Plowski, The Act
Speaker 1: of Killing did you see that one? That's another kind
Speaker 1: of blur in the lines, one where he makes the
Speaker 1: war criminals reenact their crimes like like they're doing a
Speaker 1: film scene kind of. I have not seen it. I've
Speaker 1: just man, Yeah, it's so good. I went through a
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always always watched documentaries. I love them,
Speaker 1: but I went through a phase a few years ago
Speaker 1: where I really tried to kind of tick off all
Speaker 1: the biggies on the box. Don Lozano searching for sugar
Speaker 1: Man another great one. Have you seen that one? Heard
Speaker 1: about it too that I haven't been watching enough docks
Speaker 1: in the last time. I'm starting to gather that and
Speaker 1: those are all music docks, like those are right up
Speaker 1: your alley. Man, you would love tugger Man. That's a
Speaker 1: good one. Jason albe Man on Wire, totally agree. Great
Speaker 1: great documentary. Have seen that one? Bad movie? Okay, you
Speaker 1: want to speak to it. No, it's just great. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just yeah. But I heard the movie was awful
Speaker 1: with Joseph Gordon Levitt playing the what's what's the guy's name?
Speaker 1: I can't even remember his name, the type rope walk
Speaker 1: between the twin towers. So it also kind of became
Speaker 1: this powerful symbol after nine eleven happened. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: really just the guys like such a quirky, mavericky like
Speaker 1: he's gonna do what he's gonna do kind of character,
Speaker 1: which I love. And it also plays like a heist movie,
Speaker 1: which is cool. Yeah, for sure, they gotta like break
Speaker 1: in and get up as easy as walking the wire,
Speaker 1: like you gotta get that chip set up and not
Speaker 1: get caught. Very cool. Weston Holstin the kid stays in
Speaker 1: the picture. Probably top five for me. Brett Giles, Sound City.
Speaker 1: Did you see that one noel about the Sound City Studio?
Speaker 1: Is that with Dave Girl? Yeah, I haven't seen anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I definitely have suffered from Dave Girl overkill. But
Speaker 1: that is a great documentary, very much worth supporting. Uh,
Speaker 1: Jill sort of. Vinden says, all of ken Burns work, Um,
Speaker 1: fair enough. Ken Burns is is he does what he
Speaker 1: does well, I'll say that he's got that effect, the
Speaker 1: ken Burns effect. Man just a slow zoom on the
Speaker 1: archival photos. Yeah, and it was sort of I mean,
Speaker 1: I know the documentaries, but just pre podcast world, it
Speaker 1: was where you could really go and take such a
Speaker 1: deep dive and learn about things. They're like six hours
Speaker 1: a piece right there, multi parts, well, it depends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the jazz one is jazz and baseball and uh Lewis
Speaker 1: and Clark are the top three for me and I
Speaker 1: just started Vietnam. Vietnam is pretty, the music is really cool.
Speaker 1: Trent Resner did the music for Vietnam or a lot
Speaker 1: of Yeah, all right, that doesn't surprise me. Let me
Speaker 1: see here. Nathaniel Gibbey Schuff says the new Judd Apatile
Speaker 1: documentary may at last portrait of the Avid Brothers. I've
Speaker 1: seen that one too, really good. It made me kind
Speaker 1: of get into the Avid Brothers again. And I will
Speaker 1: be going to see them at Red Rocks, Colorado. Nice.
Speaker 1: That's a bucket list venue. So I had our our
Speaker 1: Denver stuff you should know show planned around. Well. I
Speaker 1: asked could it be placed near enough to a show
Speaker 1: that I might want to go to, and my booking agent,
Speaker 1: Josh Lndren, said, well, the Ava Brothers are there, how
Speaker 1: about that? And I was like, yeah, sure, it's funny.
Speaker 1: They used to play there before they got famous. They
Speaker 1: played a lot in my hometown of Augusta, Georgia, at
Speaker 1: a very small place called Stillwater tap Room, and it
Speaker 1: was just like tiny, little blue grass place and they
Speaker 1: would play there and they got kind of beloved locally
Speaker 1: and had a real good reputations. They were nice guys,
Speaker 1: and then they started like going up, up, up up,
Speaker 1: and then they came back and would play the big venue.
Speaker 1: Then they played the slightly bigger venue. Yeah, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 1: And they've got like what Rick Rubin producing their records
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah. I mean the documentary is good too,
Speaker 1: because they are good guys and through all this success,
Speaker 1: what really still hits home is that there's still the
Speaker 1: things they care about most, or family. It's really cool.
Speaker 1: Sarah Strand says, dear Zachary, what a movie. Past the Tissues.
Speaker 1: One of the most hardcore documentaries I've ever seen as
Speaker 1: far as just raw emotions spilling out of my guts.
Speaker 1: That's visceral shock. It's really really tough. Man. A bunch
Speaker 1: of people. Jeremy Caine, my buddy out in Washington said,
Speaker 1: American movie. Um, that's on the lists. Covin, right, they're
Speaker 1: making the movie, Colvin. Yeah, it's so good. That's so good.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that it is real. It's it's like,
Speaker 1: I know, it seems like it could have easily been
Speaker 1: a Christopher guest. It's so so fun but sad and
Speaker 1: pointing like it's a wonderful, wonderful film. It is great.
Speaker 1: A few more here, Jane Longshore says, Hoop Dreams and
Speaker 1: when we were Kings, And she says, and I'm really
Speaker 1: not even a sports person, so Hoop Dreams classic, really wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful film. Uh. And then let's go with one more.
Speaker 1: How about this from Janet James Almond Dogtown and Z
Speaker 1: Boys or Writing Giants to have her favorite documentaries of
Speaker 1: all time? Both great great movies, Dogtown and Z Boys. Man,
Speaker 1: I can watch that thing a hundred times, the Skater movie, right, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: good stuff. And Writing Giants is about the surf culture
Speaker 1: and the big the people who surf those monster waves
Speaker 1: all over the world. All right, social studies, that's in
Speaker 1: the bag, good one. All right. Now, we're gonna premiere
Speaker 1: a new segment right now that you don't even know about,
Speaker 1: called Trope Time. Yes, I love it already. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna go five at a time here over the course
Speaker 1: of however many weeks and months, until we cover every
Speaker 1: movie trope ever, uh and feel free to send these
Speaker 1: in on on Facebook, by the way. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: start with number one, the Banker's box after you get fired.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well they present you with the banker's box
Speaker 1: and you put all your ship in there. Every movie,
Speaker 1: every time somebody gets fired, invariably they walk out with
Speaker 1: it's always a banker's box. He's got those little handles
Speaker 1: and then the lid. But the lid never fits on
Speaker 1: it because there's always like a bowling trophy coming up outside.
Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, there's never a lid because of the
Speaker 1: bowling trob Oh, you nailed it in home. It's genius though. Man,
Speaker 1: I've never even thought of that as being a trope
Speaker 1: until that, but it is, yep. Always, It's like they
Speaker 1: they should just call them move you got fired in
Speaker 1: a movie box because there aren't even bankers boxes anymore.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, here's another one, speaking of things sticking
Speaker 1: out the grocery bag in every movie has two things
Speaker 1: invariably that you see sticking out of the top. What's
Speaker 1: one of them, like a bottle of wine? I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't bag. Oh okay, that was gonna be my
Speaker 1: the loaf of French bread or some sort of leafy green.
Speaker 1: And I think it's because in the art department, like
Speaker 1: you want to see you can't just walk with a
Speaker 1: grocery bag. You want to see the director like we
Speaker 1: have something spilling out, you know, we want to see it,
Speaker 1: and a big leafy green looks great. And it's always
Speaker 1: a bag at uh. And that's become such a trope
Speaker 1: that in the movie Michael Clayton movie I talk about
Speaker 1: all the time, there is a scene with the great
Speaker 1: actor Tom Wilkinson carrying a bag full of baguettes. There's
Speaker 1: like fifteen baghats and bag. Yeah, that's all that's in there.
Speaker 1: And it was clearly a little tongue in cheek uh
Speaker 1: move to kind of make fun of that trope, which
Speaker 1: was great. And his character in the movie was a
Speaker 1: little unhinged to right, so maybe that was sort of
Speaker 1: maybe kind of guys, he's the kind of guy that
Speaker 1: would buy fifteen baghetts. You know. Apparently the hand burger
Speaker 1: is more popular than the bagat now in France. Sad
Speaker 1: oh really, m M. I saw an article, but I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's true. It sounds like one of
Speaker 1: those poles that I don't believe. Well, there's the brie
Speaker 1: and ham sandwich that's very popular, and apparently there are
Speaker 1: as many burger joints now as there are places that
Speaker 1: sell those. Oh like the croak uh croak monsieur. It's
Speaker 1: called something else. It's called like a jambon de Paris
Speaker 1: or something that was like a half a bag gat
Speaker 1: with cheese and like pickles and the special kind of ham.
Speaker 1: It's very popular sandwich. Um. But they used to kind
Speaker 1: of thumb their noses at burgers, and now it's becoming
Speaker 1: more of a cultural like thing. That of course it is,
Speaker 1: because we do it right. Frenchee, whoa shots fired? All right,
Speaker 1: here's one. The bullet proof vest reveal um in many
Speaker 1: many movies over the years, maybe most famously and back
Speaker 1: to the Future, of course, when Doc Brown reveals he's
Speaker 1: on the ground, and that's how I always goes is,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they've been killed. And then you go
Speaker 1: over to him there, eyes open, and they pulled their
Speaker 1: shirt apart to reveal the bulletproof vest. And another variation
Speaker 1: on that is the personal metal object that was given
Speaker 1: to them that stopped the bullet. It stops the bullet
Speaker 1: like the can of altoys or something that has some
Speaker 1: sort of sentimental value and that's what stops the bullet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm always like, I don't think a bullet would
Speaker 1: really be stopped by altoys. It's probably from an old musket,
Speaker 1: an old you know, yeah, exactly, And then fistful of
Speaker 1: dollars got to shout that out for a very early
Speaker 1: version of the Bulletproof fest revealed Clint Eastwood pulls up
Speaker 1: his his his poncho and he has like a a
Speaker 1: big iron plate because it's an old Western and that
Speaker 1: was the kevlar of the day, I guess. So that
Speaker 1: was a good early use. It's a good one man.
Speaker 1: Two more here. I like this segment, by the way,
Speaker 1: like this alright, two more? Uh, the one arm pull
Speaker 1: up from the bridge or the cliff's edge or whatever,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how big the person hanging is, how weak
Speaker 1: the person pulling is. Somehow they defy physics in every
Speaker 1: movie and managed to pull somebody up onto a safe
Speaker 1: ground with just one arms. Right. And there's also the
Speaker 1: very it's very clutch moment too, because you see them
Speaker 1: cripping hands, you know, yeah, and it's just there's just
Speaker 1: no way there's no way. You can't do it. No,
Speaker 1: I can't even do a two arm pull up. I think, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: no way, And I mean, God forbid somebody to try
Speaker 1: to pull one of us up, and we're screwed. Let's
Speaker 1: take him down with us. Yeah, we're tumbling into the abyss.
Speaker 1: I think that was This is the end that comedy.
Speaker 1: I think they played with that troupe with in the
Speaker 1: scene where the earth opened up. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: that's a fun movie. Yeah, I liked it. And then
Speaker 1: finally troupe time for this week. The dead batteries in
Speaker 1: the flashlight. If you're in a horror movie and you're
Speaker 1: walking around with a with a flashlight, at some point,
Speaker 1: that thing's gonna flicker on and off, and just give
Speaker 1: it a shake. Give it a shake, You hit it
Speaker 1: with your hand couple of times, and it usually will
Speaker 1: light back up right to like, you know, something awful, Yeah,
Speaker 1: some sort of beastie standing behind you, or you know,
Speaker 1: knife wielding psychopath or something. I love it, man, I
Speaker 1: love movie tropes. It's they're fun to make fun of,
Speaker 1: but they're there for a reason, and there time tested,
Speaker 1: they're tried and true, and that's why we see them
Speaker 1: all the time. And it's also fun with like what
Speaker 1: you're talking about with the End of the World movie.
Speaker 1: It is fun when you start seeing them played with
Speaker 1: and people's expectations kind of fun with a little bit.
Speaker 1: Absolutely that can be a lot of fun. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna say, oh, man, I can't wait to
Speaker 1: do more movie tropes in the future. Segment three, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do stream this this week. And buddy, have you
Speaker 1: watched Wild Wild Country yet? I, as you know, I
Speaker 1: do a conspiracy pie cast as well, stuff that don't
Speaker 1: want you to know. Um. And Matt Frederick watched it
Speaker 1: and said it blew his mind. And I have not
Speaker 1: seen it yet, but I'm I'm very looking for daddy.
Speaker 1: All right. So this is on Netflix, everybody. It's a
Speaker 1: six part documentary series. I'm not gonna give anything away, um,
Speaker 1: but it is made by McClain and Chapman Way I
Speaker 1: believe they're brothers, um, produced by two more brothers by
Speaker 1: the do Plas Brothers executive producer. And it is the
Speaker 1: story of raj Niche Purum, which is to say, the
Speaker 1: followers of the Indian guru Bagwan raj Niche also known
Speaker 1: as Oh Show. The followers were known as Sanni Yassen's
Speaker 1: and they set up shop in Oregon and kind of
Speaker 1: formed their own They bought a bunch of land and
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give too much away here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep it very light because the less you know, the better.
Speaker 1: But they bought a bunch of land in rural Oregon
Speaker 1: and basically made their own uber commune, like a small
Speaker 1: community which formed a bigger community called Rajni Perum. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's the story of that. And this Indian guru
Speaker 1: Bagwah Rajnish and his top sergeant personal secretary ma A
Speaker 1: Non Sheila. Some people call them occult um. Some people
Speaker 1: called it a new religion. Some people said that they
Speaker 1: were neither. And it was just a group of people
Speaker 1: interested in establishing a new way of life. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I gotta say, while they're describing what they're what their
Speaker 1: goal is, Emilian and I are watching this thinking this
Speaker 1: sounds great. They're like organic farming, and they help one
Speaker 1: another and they're kind to one another, and it's uh
Speaker 1: sort of a rejection of capitalism and just starting a
Speaker 1: new society. And it was that period in time. It
Speaker 1: was in the early eighties where I think people were
Speaker 1: had been disillusioned by the by the sixties and seventies
Speaker 1: and they were looking for something front uh, And it
Speaker 1: tells that story and it is bananas where this story
Speaker 1: goes twisty, right, Like, I mean, it's not even twisty
Speaker 1: so much as it builds and it's just bananas. And
Speaker 1: that's all I'm gonna say. It is absolutely off the
Speaker 1: charts bonkers how far this story goes and how crazy
Speaker 1: ship gets. Some of these Netflix multipart documentaries are insane.
Speaker 1: Like there was that one the Keepers about the Nuns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that one was really intense. But I'm like, where do
Speaker 1: they find these stories? This is wild? Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: can't believe, I mean, this one was. I can't believe
Speaker 1: this is the first time it had been done to
Speaker 1: this extent um. I was really surprised that this we're
Speaker 1: just now seeing a deep dive documentary on on Rajni Shpiram.
Speaker 1: You've heard of this guy before and all of this, Well,
Speaker 1: I hadn't, But as I was seeing the dude, it
Speaker 1: started to come back to where like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I was like eleven or twelve, and that face looked familiar.
Speaker 1: To me, and I think can't remember seeing it splash
Speaker 1: across the evening news occasionally. But you know, I was
Speaker 1: a kid, so I wasn't like digesting Sam Donaldson on
Speaker 1: a regular basis. All Right, we're gonna finish up this
Speaker 1: week with comment card five questions from you from Facebook
Speaker 1: to us kindle our gast Watson says, what story needs
Speaker 1: to be? What true story needs to be made into
Speaker 1: a movie? And I'm gonna just go ahead and say, wild,
Speaker 1: Wild Country. Somebody should make a two and a half
Speaker 1: to three hour movie on this. That would be my call. Cool,
Speaker 1: don't screw it up? No you can't. Well, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know we were talking earlier about Man on Wire,
Speaker 1: how they took that amazing documentary and made a really
Speaker 1: shitty movie. It's like when a documentary does such a
Speaker 1: good job and it's so compelling it I agree. I
Speaker 1: totally agree. Um, do you have a true story that
Speaker 1: you can pick up? Nol? What can we go through
Speaker 1: some of the list items and like, I need to
Speaker 1: think about it for a second. All right? Uh. Gary
Speaker 1: m stand says, what are your favorite movies based on
Speaker 1: TV series? I've I've written down a few here. Uh,
Speaker 1: Twilight Zone, the movie when I was a kid, loved, loved,
Speaker 1: love That movie still holds up. I think, um, the
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible series generally, I love almost all of it.
Speaker 1: I think there was one of them I didn't love,
Speaker 1: and I think it was the John wou Win, which
Speaker 1: surprised me because I love John wu. Yeah, there's so
Speaker 1: many of them. I kind of lost track. I think
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one he did. But I'm a
Speaker 1: sucker for those. Man, they're fun. I like those movies.
Speaker 1: Would would you say that typically when you think of
Speaker 1: a movie being made from a TV series that the
Speaker 1: expectations are kind of low. Well, it depends because for
Speaker 1: something like a Mission Impossible had pretty high expectations. And
Speaker 1: I even like that first one that Brian de Palmer did. Um.
Speaker 1: But with the comedies, I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: times what they'd try and do is just make fun
Speaker 1: of it. That's sort of the new way, especially with
Speaker 1: like the one Jump Street and things like that, which
Speaker 1: is actually pretty good. I've heard that was fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like, you know, things like Matthew Roderick and Inspector Gadget.
Speaker 1: That's a cartoon that's different, But it was a TV
Speaker 1: show now that that counts, or like get smart you
Speaker 1: know things like that. Yeah, which unfortunately that was not
Speaker 1: a very good movie. I guess I just feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of these things are thirty minutes show is
Speaker 1: one thing, and then you make you're stretching that out
Speaker 1: into an hour and a half movie. Maybe sometimes it's
Speaker 1: you're having to reach a little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I agree, uh. And I'm also a sucker for that
Speaker 1: first Brady Bunch of movie. I gotta say, I really
Speaker 1: thought that was a lot of fun. It was super fun.
Speaker 1: That was the first kind of that was a fun
Speaker 1: meta way of handling that. It was kind of the
Speaker 1: first one that I remember, and it it nailed the casting,
Speaker 1: and it nailed the tone. Um everything about it was
Speaker 1: just kind of fun and perfect for me. Really good
Speaker 1: one for sure. Owen, it's your Williger, great name. If
Speaker 1: you could sit down for a drink, this is such
Speaker 1: a good question. If you could sit down for a
Speaker 1: drink with any actor or actress we we say actor
Speaker 1: on the show for as gender neutral by the way,
Speaker 1: on the set of a famous movie of theirs, who
Speaker 1: would it be and where are you? For example, like
Speaker 1: Whiskey with John Wayne in the bar of an old
Speaker 1: Western is his example. This is such a great question,
Speaker 1: and I thought about this one and cooked up an
Speaker 1: answer that I think even if I would have thought
Speaker 1: for hours, I may not top. So I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a drink with Bill Murray on board the Bellefonte, which
Speaker 1: what's the Bellefonte from? That was the ship from Zesu
Speaker 1: Life Aquatic. That's right, that's right, yep. I want to
Speaker 1: be on that boat drinking with Bill Murray. He was
Speaker 1: a he was a fun character. Yeah, that'd be some
Speaker 1: good conversation. I'm gonna I'm gonna flip it and go
Speaker 1: weird with it. And I would have a whiskey with
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson in the bar set from The Shining God. No,
Speaker 1: why do you do this to me? Because now I
Speaker 1: want to be there with you guys. You can come. Dude,
Speaker 1: Holy sh it, that's a good answer because it's creepy
Speaker 1: as hell, and he's he seems like in insane person
Speaker 1: in general. Yeah, it would either be really like terrifying
Speaker 1: and awkward or like really awesome. Maybe he's in a
Speaker 1: really good mood and we just kind of hit it off. Yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. In the overlooked bar with that bartender. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is it? What's his name? Oh man in here?
Speaker 1: Never mind? I want to say Jeeves, but that's not
Speaker 1: that's not right. Holy cal two great answers. Uh maybe
Speaker 1: maybe Bill Murray and I can sail the Billafonte over
Speaker 1: to Lloyd, Lloyd Lloyd. That's right, God, that's good, all right.
Speaker 1: Bennett Duckworth says, can you think of a film that
Speaker 1: floored you for defying the body of work associated with
Speaker 1: its director? Another great question? His examples are Adam McKay,
Speaker 1: the great comedy director with the Big Short, or David
Speaker 1: Lynch with a Straight Story. Um, really good question. I
Speaker 1: gave this some thought. Straight Story is actually a great,
Speaker 1: great choice because talk about a curveball man David Lynch
Speaker 1: throwing that movie out there. I agree, But I would
Speaker 1: also argue that it is not that different from his
Speaker 1: other movies if you really pay attention, like it is
Speaker 1: it's so weird because it's a Disney released film. It's
Speaker 1: it's a straight PG, no no swears, no weird nudity
Speaker 1: and drug use. But it has a similar tone of
Speaker 1: like kind of foreboding that some of his other films have.
Speaker 1: I think you know, I finally agree with that. Though
Speaker 1: it's it's a very big curveball, but when you really
Speaker 1: watch it and think about it, it does feel like
Speaker 1: a David Lynch movie. Still well, and it's funny because
Speaker 1: David Lynch when he talked to the guy, he's obviously
Speaker 1: not in person. I've never met David Lynch, um, because
Speaker 1: I'm still alive and I would have died if I
Speaker 1: met David. But he he's Gosh G. Williker's kind of guy.
Speaker 1: He's very like, he doesn't cuss and stuff. He's very
Speaker 1: pure and sort of old school. Oh he does. He
Speaker 1: every time I've heard him talk, he's just like, gosh darn.
Speaker 1: Someone asked him in an interview, what do you think
Speaker 1: of people watching movies on their iPhones? And he just
Speaker 1: paused and he goes, how at all fucking ball shack? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I stand corrected. But his personality, though, is
Speaker 1: very much of a of a G. Whilakers kind of guy. However,
Speaker 1: even though straight stories great, I'm gonna go with not
Speaker 1: just a movie, but a director named Brad Anderson who
Speaker 1: almost came on the show but we couldn't quite get him.
Speaker 1: He started his career with a couple of kind of
Speaker 1: sweet romantic Indie's Next up Wonderland and Happy Accidents, both
Speaker 1: really great movies, and then out of nowhere he throws
Speaker 1: out a movie called Session nine, kind of thing right
Speaker 1: yeah about this uh mental asylum, yeah, and an abandoned
Speaker 1: mental asylum that these people are exploring. Horrifying, scary, scary movie.
Speaker 1: And then right after that he made The Machinist, that
Speaker 1: movie with Christian Bale where he withers away to like
Speaker 1: eighty pounds, very disturbing. So this guy made, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he defies all genres and that he almost every
Speaker 1: movie he makes he tries something else out. He did
Speaker 1: that movie Trans Siberian, which is great, and his movie
Speaker 1: out right now is Beirut with John Hamm so bred
Speaker 1: Anderson's all over the place, and I really admired directors
Speaker 1: that don't go back to that same well every time.
Speaker 1: Well you know the director Terry's wigoff, yeah, because he
Speaker 1: kind of did that in reverse where like I was
Speaker 1: first aware of him from like Ghost World, I think,
Speaker 1: which is amazing. But then he also did a lot
Speaker 1: of kind of gross out comedies like the Bad Santa
Speaker 1: movies and stuff like that. But he made my favorite
Speaker 1: documentary of all time, Crumb About Our Crumb though good
Speaker 1: San Francisco Psychedelic artist or Yeah. Um, so it's really
Speaker 1: interesting when someone kind of maybe they'd fall into a
Speaker 1: niche like that they weren't expecting, and it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, I guess there's are the jobs that
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting offered, so this is what I do now.
Speaker 1: I guess you gotta pay the rent. Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I'm bad Bed's wigoff will do
Speaker 1: something interesting again. Agreed, h J. I'm sorry. Janet James
Speaker 1: Allman says, if you could go back in time and
Speaker 1: suggest a major change for a movie, like an alternate
Speaker 1: ending or a casting change, what would it be? And
Speaker 1: I didn't have to think long on this one, but
Speaker 1: I'm one of the few people that really thinks the
Speaker 1: movie Gangs of New York is pretty pretty great. Um,
Speaker 1: save one aspect, and that is Cameron Diaz. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: she she she always kind of feels like Cameron Diaz,
Speaker 1: she exactly. She feels very modern. There's nothing turning the
Speaker 1: century New York about Cameron Diaz. And I remember at
Speaker 1: the time thinking, oh man, that's really the one thing
Speaker 1: that took me out of that picture, because, um, I
Speaker 1: think Leo is great. John c Riley's great, of course,
Speaker 1: Daniel day Lewis is amazing in it. And I love
Speaker 1: the story of that that New York back then and
Speaker 1: how crazy it was. And then Cameron Diaz Trot's out
Speaker 1: there like she just walked off a venice beach and
Speaker 1: it just, Uh, that's the one steam change it would make.
Speaker 1: Doesn't Leo ever take you out of things? I always
Speaker 1: feel like he seems too young, even though I know
Speaker 1: he's not. He just always seems like a child to me.
Speaker 1: I totally get what you mean. He does not play
Speaker 1: like middle aged well ever, yeah he tried. I mean
Speaker 1: he's I think he's a good actors. No, No, he
Speaker 1: very much is. I just feel like sometimes he he's
Speaker 1: such a hotshot that like he gets these roles just
Speaker 1: because of who he is. They sometimes don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: he's the most suited to play maybe so, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe so. No, Alright, I'm gonna sit on that one
Speaker 1: for a while, dream of Leo tonight as an old man. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's it for this week, So thanks everyone, thank you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and by the way, just the movie I saw in
Speaker 1: New York that I missed the last right. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: called The Death of Stalin And UM actually posted it
Speaker 1: on the Crushers, the Movie Crushers facebook page, UM seeing
Speaker 1: what people thought. A lot of people don't seem like
Speaker 1: they've seen it yet, but maybe limited release. I think
Speaker 1: it maybe is UM, but it is satire, right, UM.
Speaker 1: It's the guy that did the created veep, UM and
Speaker 1: it and it feels like curb your enthusiasm, but about
Speaker 1: like this Russian coup. And all of the actors are
Speaker 1: like these seasoned improvisers, UM Jeffrey Tambor and UM Steve
Speaker 1: Asmi and an amazing cast, but they all use their
Speaker 1: regular voices. No one tries to put on a Russian accent.
Speaker 1: But the periodness of it is through the roof, so
Speaker 1: it's very little disorienting, but once you kind of like
Speaker 1: buy into the bit, it's very rewarding. Alright. Well, former
Speaker 1: guests Ben Ecker loves that movie. He said it was fantastic.
Speaker 1: So those are two people I trust. You and Ben
Speaker 1: Acker Man you too, Chuck, the only two people I
Speaker 1: trust in the world. All Right, that's it, everybody, Thanks

Speaker 1: classic movies of all time, Back to the Future. Do

Speaker 1: the first time, but watch it again, That's what I say. Right,
