1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Hello, Casey O'Brien, Hi, Miliated Jericho. How are you?

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh great? I mean you know what we're doing right now?

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are doing a new podcast. You and I

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: both of us making a movie podcast together. It's thrilling,

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: it's terrifying, and uh, it's liberating all at once. That's right.

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is our very first episode and we're really

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: excited because we've got a lot of stuff to cover.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: First off, we're gonna kick off the show with something

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: we're calling Film Diary, and I was wondering, Casey, can

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: you tell them what it is?

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I can do that. This is our the movies

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: we've watched, like in the last week, and we're gonna

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: be discussing the movies we have most recently watched. Now,

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: these are not necessarily recommendations. This is just like our extracurriculars.

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: These are our studies as film enthusiasts. You know, we're

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: trying to, like mine through all of film, of all

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: of time. You know, both of us were both students

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: of film. So these aren't necessarily recommendations. Some of these

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: might suck, frankly, a.

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Lot of them will probably a lot of them.

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Well, yes, you gotta break a lot of eggs, kiss

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: a lot of frogs.

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: Also, we're going to talk about drinking in the movies,

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: so you know, movies that feature complete drunks or people

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: that are trying to get off the stuff. Whatever it is,

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about it. But we're also

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: going to really like hammer into one movie in particular,

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: and that is twenty eighteen's US Star Is Born, featuring

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. And we might even talk

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: a little bit about Bradley Cooper as a director as well.

31
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: And today we have the wonderful comedian in Chile with Sharp.

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: She's on to talk about her area of expertise, which

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: was important to both of us when you say, Millie.

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: Oh yes, we had a very emotional conversation with Chilea.

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: How about a topic that is, you know, near and

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: deer to all of our hearts, which is the Magic

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: Mike franchise.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: Oh so fabulous. Much more to come on Dear Movies,

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: I Love You, Dear.

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: I Love you, and I've got to.

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: Love me to.

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: Check the box. Welcome everyone to Dear Movies, I Love You.

43
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: This is a podcast for those who are in a

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: romantic relationship with film.

45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: That's right. Those who are down bad for film, those

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: who have a crush on film, those are using movies

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: as a way to fill your sexual and amorous holes

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: into your life. I don't know if that's the right

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: way of expressing that, but it's for those who sincerely,

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: sincerely love film and about it very deeply.

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: That's right. I am one of your hosts, Millie to Jericho.

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: I used to host a film podcast. Yep. It was

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: called I Saw What You Did. It was on this

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: very network. It's probably on the feed that you're listening

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: to right now.

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: This is the same feed. It's the same channel.

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can go back and listen to all two

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: hundred something episodes of it if you want to. But

59
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: I did that podcast with my co host Daniel Henderson,

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: who is one of my dearest friends. And Casey, you

61
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: were a part of that podcast too. You were actually

62
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: the producer of that podcast, right.

63
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: That's right. I produced that wonderful podcast. And this is

64
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, a phoenix rising out of the

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: ashes of I Saw What You Did. And I'm just

66
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: so thrilled and thankful that you wanted to have me

67
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: be a part of this show. Millie in this capacity.

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: That's right. I mean, you know, it's not unlike a

69
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: star is born if you think about it. I did

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: find you in a total dump, yeah, plucked you out

71
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: of obscurity and put you on That's right. But anyway,

72
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: the thing about doing a podcast with you is that

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: this is like a new thing. I'm very excited by it.

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: I know a little bit about you. I won't say

75
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: I know everything about you, but I do know that

76
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: you've got a lot of film bonafides, which makes you

77
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: qualify a toast podcast with me, wouldn't you say?

78
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: Sure? I guess so. First of all, I produced an

79
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: excellent movie podcast before this one called I Saw What

80
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: You Did. As we've already covered, I've produced several movie podcasts.

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: But also, like you, Millie, I went to film school,

82
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: and so hopefully, you know, we can throughout the course

83
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: of this podcast, we can get some of those, like

84
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, film school tales, and we can bring up

85
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: our time in film school, because that's sort of a

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: funny time in everyone's life. So anyways, went to film school.

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: I also would consider myself a filmmaker, would because I

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: do make short films and I'm working on a feature

89
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: film right now, and I really love movies. They're a

90
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: big part of my life and my creative identity. I

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: also used to host a film podcast that's called fart

92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: House where we talked about artsy fartsy films, and I

93
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: did that with my friend Patrick mallin.

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: What's up Patrick? Listen, like you might be wondering. I mean,

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: I think obviously if you're a fan of iesolog did

96
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: you have heard many episodes where Danielle and I had

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: talked about you know, film bros. You know, you know

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: the type film bros. Sure, we're trying to, like, you know,

99
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: bring some other people to the table. And so for me,

100
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: the idea that I would be hosting a new film

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: podcast with a guy who went to film school, you know,

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: might be kind of unexpected. But guess what, you're a

103
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: good one. You're not a film bro.

104
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Thank you.

105
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: You're not a film bro. I will stand by that

106
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 2: one thousand percent.

107
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Millie. I think that

108
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: it's not unlike Wharf in Star Trek. You know, he's

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: a Klingon and a lot of people have you know,

110
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: thoughts about him. As you know, the Klingon race is

111
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: very violent, but you know, people just need to understand

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: that Wharf is a gentle soul, and you know, over

113
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: time they accept him.

114
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: So I'll just be plain honest with you. Have no

115
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: idea what you just said. I've never seen star Trek

116
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: in my entire life.

117
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: That's fine. I won't bring it up again on the show.

118
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: But anyways, I appreciate that. And I think you know

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: more than just film brodum. You know, I think there's

120
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: a kind of there can be kind of a lot

121
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: of rules in terms of and they're all imagined of course,

122
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: but like there's a lot of pressure to think about

123
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: movies in a very specific way. A lot of that is,

124
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: you know, it tends to be from like a more

125
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: male point of view, and it's kind of like these

126
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: are the good movies, these are the bad movies. If

127
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: you like these movies, you're cool. If you like these movies,

128
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: you drool, you know. And I think this podcast wants

129
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: to kind of dash away any sort of pretension or

130
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, rules about what you need to do in

131
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: order to consider yourself a lover of movies. You know,

132
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: if you sincerely love a movie, even if it's considered

133
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, a bad movie by some that should be celebrated,

134
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: and that's what this podcast is about. It It's about

135
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: like enjoying film at all levels. Yes, you know what

136
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

137
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: I agree, and I also think it's important to say that,

138
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I think obviously the title of

139
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: this podcast here Movies, I Love You, the icon that

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: pops up when you pull it up on your podcast platform.

141
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: You know, the idea that one of our favorite bands

142
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: of all time, the Softies, has done the wonderful theme song.

143
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: It all contributes to this idea of like again having

144
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: a crush on a film, having an emotional relationship to movies,

145
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: and how movies are a big part of people's lives

146
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: and they help them through like hard times and good times.

147
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I cry all the time in movies and

148
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: they don't have to be sad. I cry at happy movies.

149
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: I cry it sweet movies, I cry it you know,

150
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: violent films. Like I am such an emotional person that

151
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: I you know, I've realized this over several years of therapy.

152
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: I'm a very emotional person. And I think kind of

153
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: what you're alluding to, like with the things that you've

154
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: just said, is that like a lot of times, you know,

155
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: film is one of those mediums where people feel like

156
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: they got to be like super analytical or they have

157
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: you know, they got to come at it in a

158
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: very kind of sterile way in order to seem legitimate

159
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: or something. And I'm like, fuck that. We should be

160
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: talking about our crush on movies and talking about how

161
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: much we love it and how much they get us

162
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: through our lives and how they're a part of our lives.

163
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: So that's what it's.

164
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: Gonna be, guys. It's not gonna be this whole like, well,

165
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: the box office numbers from nineteen eighty nine show that

166
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: this movie did five percent better. Fuck that. I mean,

167
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: if that comes up, it comes up. But for the

168
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: most part, you know, we're gonna be a little sensitivo.

169
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna be sensitivo. I'm a very emotional person,

170
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: you know. I've said before that I consider myself a

171
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: soft straight I'm a softy, and I love rom Coms

172
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: are like kind of my favorite genre of film. But

173
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: I also I'll throw on Salo. Wait, who's the director

174
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: of Salo Pasolini? Pasolini, which is a movie that is

175
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: one of the most I don't know, sexually violent and

176
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: perverse and there's a lot of like eating poop in it,

177
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: and uh.

178
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: Great date night movie.

179
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: Great date night movie. But it's a very extreme art

180
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: house movie from the seventies. Is that one it's from?

181
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: But anyways, you know, I can throw on that movie

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: as much as I can throw on you know, Sleepless

183
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle, a movie I truly love. So I think

184
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: this is more about the emotional connection to film rather

185
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: than any sort of intellectual debate or study of film.

186
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: If that all makes sense.

187
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: It all totally makes sense.

188
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we are intellectuals, we're emotional intellectuals, exactly, That's right.

189
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that is what brings us

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: together and why we thought this show would be good

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: is because I think we both seem so tough and

192
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: hard on the outside, but on the inside we're just

193
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: we're marshmallows. You know, We're a big softies.

194
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: We're not unlike John Wick, if you know what I mean.

195
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: We're exactly like in so many ways, We're exactly like

196
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: John that's right.

197
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: But you know what, also, I like about you, Casey,

198
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: and part of the reason why I poached you from

199
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: the film podcast streets to be on a podcast with

200
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: me I like that you understand that high art and

201
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: low art they both are able to sit at the

202
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 2: same table. You know what I'm saying.

203
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah. I think that way about food too.

204
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: I agree.

205
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: I used to work at a very fancy restaurant in

206
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: La Jelina and love the food there. But I'm a

207
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: frequent McDonald's. I'm in there getting a McRib you know,

208
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: on the regular when it's there. So yes, I agree,

209
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: high and low they're the same. They sit at the

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: same table.

211
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: For me, if I were to like talk about my

212
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: own career and the things that I've done, like programming

213
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: and writing and things like, you know, sort of being

214
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: sort of general film historian type, I think that's kind

215
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: of how I approach That's how I approach film, is

216
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: that I'm like, I want to speak in a smart,

217
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: intellectual kind of I don't know, competent way about all

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: kinds of shit. It can be high brow, but it

219
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: also there is a way to talk about show Girls

220
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: and ed Wood and you know, ye like truly depraved

221
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: cinema at the same time that you talk about I

222
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: don't know, more sort of intellectual fair kind of criterion collection,

223
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: any type of things, if you.

224
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Will, yes to me.

225
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I like about us both is

226
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: that we're able to kind of get you a man

227
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: that can do both type of feeling.

228
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So and all are welcome at this table, all

229
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: levels of filmdom. We'll be excited to listen to this show.

230
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk about, you know, art house filmmakers like ingmar Bergman,

231
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: but we'll also talk about silly movies like Adam Sandler's

232
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Who Be Halloween. I don't know, that's just an example

233
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: a movie I like who But anyways, that's sort of

234
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: the crux of our new podcast, our new endeavor together,

235
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: and we're psyched. We psyched about it.

236
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: We just wanted to do a little intention setting before

237
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: we rolled out all the other episodes. But hopefully you're

238
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: on the ride with us. I mean, if you liked

239
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: I saw what you did, you're gonna like this podcast.

240
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: So we're excited. Here we go, We're excited to be here.

241
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Well, moving on, our first segment is called film Diary, Millie.

242
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: One way of keeping track of the movies we've watched

243
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: is on a social media app that we both use,

244
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: and I'd love if listeners followed us on there because

245
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: the comments I'm making on these movies are hilarious, cannot

246
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: be ignored. Yeah, they can follow us on there. You

247
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: like letterbox as an app, you use it, you're a user.

248
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm a user, of course. I talked about this on

249
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: my substack once about how I probably use letterbox in

250
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: the wrong way, which is that I'm not like consistently using.

251
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: So here's letterbox right. If you haven't been on it before,

252
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 2: It's basically a way for you to kind of catalog

253
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: the movies that you've seen. You know, there's an ability

254
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: to rate it like five star, you know, one to

255
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: five stars or no stars. You can leave reviews. There's

256
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: a kind of social component to where you can friend

257
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: other people and see what they've been watching and see

258
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: what they've been reviewing. So it's kind of just like

259
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: a big social media platform for movie nerds.

260
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: And there are.

261
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 2: Definitely power users out there who are writing like thousand

262
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: word essays on every movie they've seen. Yes, I am

263
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: real Lucy Goosey about it. I definitely catalog everything that

264
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: I've seen, so my film diary is always accurate. Am

265
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: I reviewing things all the time? No Am I writing

266
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: intelligent things in those reviews? No Am I rating it

267
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: with the star system, not all the time. That's another

268
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: topic for another time. By the way, is the star

269
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: rating system on letterbox Maybe that's a film grape we

270
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: can talk about. Sure, yes, because it's very contentious and

271
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: I've gotten called out on it before, But please find

272
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: us on there because it's a way for us. We're

273
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: going to be like talking about Letterboxed a lot because

274
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: this is like again where we're cataloging what we've seen.

275
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: But first and foremost, I have to say, Casey, I

276
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,239
Speaker 2: don't know if you remember this at all, but it took.

277
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: You eight I'm going to be upset that you're bringing

278
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm an upset that you're bringing people. Continue no, that.

279
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: It took you a very long time to friend me

280
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 2: back on letterbox.

281
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: So MILLI followed me on. And it's not exactly like

282
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: you're not really friends on a letterbox. You basically follow

283
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: someone and then they can follow you back. It's not

284
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: like accepting a friend request on Facebook and you're mind,

285
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: it's not it was for me, okay, Well, Milly had

286
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: followed me on letterboxed and I went about my life

287
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: after that after and I don't know if I missed

288
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the notification or something. But it took me maybe a

289
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: year before I followed you back, and I mentioned it

290
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, MILLI, isn't it funny. I just

291
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you were on letterbox. I can't believe

292
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: it took me so long to follow you back, and

293
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: you were like, yeah, I noticed.

294
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: It was an offensive amount of time that went by, Like,

295
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: let me just tell you right now, I had not

296
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: only readed you, but it actually commented on one of

297
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: your reviews.

298
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: I know, I think I had just I assumed I

299
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: had followed you back. I think that's what happened. I

300
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: think I had assumed. There's no way I didn't follow

301
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: you back, but I fucked up. I don't know what

302
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: you want me to say here.

303
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, we work on a film podcast together.

304
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: We're like in communication pretty much every other day. I know,

305
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: I friended this guy because I want him to feel

306
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: included in what we're fucking doing around here, and it

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: took him a year to follow me back. Anyway, I'm

308
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: just I'm just saying, sure that broke me for a while,

309
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: but then you fix itself and I forgive you, and

310
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: now we're obviously doing a podcast together.

311
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Now we're having a podcast together.

312
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: I've let it go well, and like there's other functionality

313
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: on there too that like you can come up with lists.

314
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm a big list person.

315
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Yes.

316
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: I also you know, like I actually love the review

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: component because there are people, like I said, who are

318
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: using it like as like they're writing for Rogerdieber dot

319
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: com type of thing. But then there are people who

320
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: are like putting one two sentences about, you know, the

321
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: thing that they've watched.

322
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: That's how I do it. I do one or two sentences,

323
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: and I like that. I prefer that as a user

324
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: to read. I don't really want to read an essay

325
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: on here, to be honest.

326
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 2: Oh I know. And a lot of times it's like

327
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: and this is the way I do it, but the

328
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: other people do it this way too. It's like the

329
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: funniest observation about a movie. Yes, and I actually had

330
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: one go sort of VIVI. I gotta say, wow, my

331
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: review for a Complete Unknown where I talked about I

332
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen it yet, I won't spoil.

333
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: It haven't seen it.

334
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: Well, there's a moment of that movie that happens which

335
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: is a non spoiler, but it was like the weirdest

336
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: thing to me. That was like the one thing I

337
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: couldn't stop thinking about, and then I wrote it and

338
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, it's like ping, ping, ping,

339
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, we love it, we love the review. So

340
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: that's what I like about Letterboxes that it's kind of

341
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: like again, I think it's a high low where you

342
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 2: could either be really like deliberate and professional about it,

343
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: or you can be a fucking goon like me.

344
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, here's kind of one of my favorite reviews.

345
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: This is ao Ata Biri. If you ever follow, she's

346
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: a great follow on Letterbox. This is her review of

347
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: The Empire Strikes Back. This movie is great, but I

348
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: was really shocked by how ugly Yoda was. Sorry if

349
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: that pisses anybody off, but I had only seen baby

350
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Yoda and adult Yoda is fucking busted. I mean that's

351
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: the whole review. So it's great. Yeah. Anyways, this isn't

352
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: an ad for Letterbox, but we love it and I

353
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: use it all the time, and it's where I keep

354
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: track of all the movies I've watched in the past.

355
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: That's right. I mean, if the Letterbox wants to give

356
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: us a check, we'll take it. But I'm just saying,

357
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: this is what we're gonna be using. Let's go into

358
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 2: this film diary.

359
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Fabulous.

360
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: So in the past week, I've gone down this like

361
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: kind of strange rabbit hole. So I discovered this Japanese

362
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: director recently. And I don't actually know how I discovered it.

363
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm following some kind of Instagram account

364
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: that's like an Asian film archive. I think it's actually

365
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: what it's called. And they posted a trailer or something

366
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: about this movie. And the movie is called Hawu hr

367
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: U okay. It was directed by this Japanese director. His

368
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: name is Yoshi Mitsu Marita Okay. This movie's from nineteen

369
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: ninety six. And for some reason, when I saw the trailer,

370
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I was like, this seems so charming, Like I think

371
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: his filmography, if I'm not mistaken, I'm not like a

372
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: scholar on him yet. But he was making movies in

373
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: like most of his movies came out in like the

374
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: eighties and nineties, which is a real for me, kind

375
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: of like a gap I don't I have, you know,

376
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: I started thinking, like have I watched a lot of

377
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: Japanese movies from the eighties and nineties, like and then

378
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: as the more I kind of was reading about him

379
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 2: and sort of that era. I think actually, and like

380
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: I said, I don't want to say that this is

381
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: the general le attitude, but I've read that, you know,

382
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: people kind of actually perceived that Japanese filmmaking in the

383
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: eighties wasn't very good, like they weren't making good movies

384
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: generally in the eighties.

385
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: Interesting, And so I came into.

386
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: It going, Okay, so this is supposed to be like

387
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: an era of like bad Japanese filmmaking. Yet I walked

388
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: into this movie and was like completely charmed by it.

389
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: It was It's essentially a movie. I mean, this is

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: this movie is probably like as close to this film

391
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 2: podcast as we can get. It's essentially a woman who

392
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 2: is a cinophile. She's a single woman, a school teacher

393
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: living in Japan, and she's a cinopile. And she then

394
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: she gets on like a movie message board. And this

395
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: is ninety six, so this is early internet days.

396
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: This is just like, inject this into my veins. I know,

397
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: this sounds wonderful and I've never heard of this guy

398
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: or this movie.

399
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it basically it's like a lot of the

400
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: movie is there kind of like literally on screen, like

401
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: sending messages on the message board. It's like her and

402
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: this other person, and the other person at first is

403
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: you know, kind of presents as a woman, but then

404
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: it's actually a man, you know, because back in the day,

405
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: you can really fool people about being you know, like

406
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could still catfish people now.

407
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: Oh, catfishing is thriving right.

408
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, thriving. But back in like ninety six, man,

409
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: you could literally be anybody. And so they kind of

410
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: developed this, you know, I don't know, this online sort

411
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: of a pistolary relationship and they're kind of like he's

412
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: in a bad marriage or he's in a kind of

413
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 2: weird spot in his life, and they just kind of

414
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: bond together and it's this kind of like you got

415
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: mail in Japan in the nineties over the internet.

416
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so cute. That's in a file.

417
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm like, oh, it was lovely.

418
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: That's so interesting, you say, like not knowing Japanese movies

419
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: from the eighties or nineties, and I was just thinking,

420
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't really either, except for one

421
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies of all time, Tom Popo by

422
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: Juzi Atami, which is also like the cutest movie in

423
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, and so like, it definitely feels like

424
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: it's an area that I want to explore and I

425
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: definitely want to check out. Is it Yoshi Mitsu Marita

426
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: his movies Maurita, Yeah, these look incredible.

427
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I actually watched another one because I

428
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: liked Taru so much.

429
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

430
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: So there's this movie that he made in nineteen eighty

431
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 2: four called Main Theme. And I got to tell you,

432
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it's online anywhere. I had to go through,

433
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 2: you know, the dark web, the.

434
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: Dark web nefarious and Millie she's in the dark web

435
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: all too often always.

436
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, actually I get I get my groceries

437
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: from the dark Web. You know, it's yes, you know,

438
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: I just use it for everything now why not?

439
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

440
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: But this movie Main Theme, Oh my god. That movie

441
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: was also incredible. It was also kind of a romance,

442
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: but it had this like super whimsical It was kind

443
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: of like an umbrellas of Schoreberg feel.

444
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

445
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was the colors.

446
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: Were amazing, saying, I don't know, just the setups, the

447
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: camera work, the colors, the costumes, everything. I was like,

448
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: who the hell is this director? And why have I

449
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: just figured him out?

450
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? So amazing, that's great.

451
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: So what about you now, you've gotta tell me?

452
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Okay, so full disclosure here. I'm in

453
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: a bit of a horror movie zone right now, and

454
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: so all of these are horror or horror adjacent and

455
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: these ain't elevated. I'll tell you that much. I saw

456
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: this kibbit Qua film called Humanist Vampire seeking consenting suicidal person.

457
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,399

458
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800

459
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: I'll read my letterbox review. It's Only Lovers Left Alive

461
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,159

462
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: over the vampires who are like, I don't want to

463
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: kill people. That's like, I find that annoying now, and

464
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: I am sure vampires are you know? They they should

465
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: murder people. That's that's what I took away from that.

466
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: Are you with Twilight?

467
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: Were you indoctrinated? I've never read any of these books,

468
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: but I was in college when all of those movies

469
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: came out. And all of my gal pals were obsessed

470
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: with it, and so unfortunately, I have seen every single

471
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: Twilight film at midnight on the day it came out.

472
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: So wow, I know a lot about it. I think

473
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: people like like them now in retrospect, those are bad movies.

474
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: You'll be surprised to know a little bit of a

475
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: Twilight apologist. I kind of I've watched all of them. Really,

476
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I was way too old should could

477
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 2: be into it? Like, I mean, I want did the

478
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: first one come out.

479
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: Like two thousand and eight nine? May?

480
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I was a grown ass woman in a

481
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: full time job when those movies came out. I have

482
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: no business. But you know, here's what I will say

483
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: about that. I actually kind of feel that I might

484
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: like them better now knowing who Robert Pattinson and Christian

485
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: Stewart became.

486
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: True, do you know what I mean?

487
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Like I go backwards now and I'm like, oh,

488
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: these these are like two cool people making cool films, Like, yeah,

489
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know they made a bunchet teen shit, it's

490
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: kind of cool.

491
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't well, And I saw them at the height

492
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: of my like shithead stage because I was in film school.

493
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: I was like, this isn't you know, this isn't like

494
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: the Wurkmeister harmonies, like this sucks you know, or whatever

495
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: the name of that Bellatar film is. But I think

496
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: I do need to revisit them because I think they

497
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: would be fun to watch. Now, Yeah, I agree, Yeah,

498
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: Twilight worth a revisit. Then I watched Okay, I saw

499
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: this movie that I thought was incredible and I feel

500
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: like it should be more famous. It's called Black Rainbow.

501
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: It's directed by Mike Hodges. It's starring Rosanna Arquette and

502
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: Jason Robard's have you seen this movie? It was just

503
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: re released by Aero Video on Blu Ray. Like Harvey

504
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: Weinstein and Mirrmax totally fucked up the release of this

505
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: movie so it went straight to cable, so like nobody

506
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: knows about it. But it's really good. It's about a

507
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: traveling psychic played by Roseenna Arcuat her father Jason Robards,

508
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: and they're kind of a you know, shysters. They like

509
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: are kind of scamming people. But then she starts getting

510
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: visions of people actually dying. That's really good. I thought

511
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: it was really interesting.

512
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: I will not confuse it with Black mouthed Super Rainbow,

513
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: which is a band from Pennsylvania.

514
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. And I believe there's a movie beyond

515
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: the Black Rainbow. Okay, that's a different movie. Okay, that's

516
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: by Ponos Cosmatos of Mandy Fame. Oh that's a different film.

517
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: Okay, get it right, get it right, pay the price.

518
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever watch Salute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon?

519
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: What are you asking me right now?

520
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: What you've seen Salute your Shorts?

521
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: Are you fucking kidding me? Dude? Do you seem like every.

Speaker 1: Okay, okay, says it?

Speaker 2: Yeah, butt Nick screwed it up.

526
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm just glad. I just wanted to make

527
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: sure we're on the same page when it comes to

528
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: Salute your Shorts, and now I know we are, and

529
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: so we can move forward with recording the podcast. And

530
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: then the last movie I watched last night, which I'd

531
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: never seen before, The Crow.

532
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: I loved it.

533
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: I thought it was great.

534
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: The O G.

535
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: Crow, not Bill sars Guard's The Crow, Brandon Lee's The Crow.

536
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: I have been told I look like Bill. Good movie

537
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: by two different people.

538
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: Wait, move your move your face away from micros. I

539
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: mean a little bit.

540
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm loath to say such a thing because he's like

541
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: one of the hottest men on the planet. Or I

542
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: think he's very hot me too, I will say two

543
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: people told me that, but still a thrill.

544
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: I would say, you were a little bit Casey Affleck

545
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 2: meets Bill Scar's guard.

546
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, have you been told about case I get

547
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: told Casey Affleck frequently, and my name is Casey.

548
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: And maybe it's because your name is Casey, right, except

549
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: I get Casey Affleck, Casey Affleck and who else? Oh,

550
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: Paul Rudd, Paul, Wow, you just happen to look like

551
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: all the hottest men in Hollywood right now, and I

552
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: do not. That's what I'm trying to underscore.

553
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: And that's my burden, you know.

554
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So that was our film diary. How'd you feel good?

555
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: First one?

556
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: I feel good. It felt like writing in a real diary.

557
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: I feel relieved of some emotional baggage.

558
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: It's good. Well, okay, now we're moving into our main discussion,

559
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 2: which is, again, like I said, twenty eighteen's a Star

560
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: is Born. We're gonna talk about drinking in movies. But first, Casey,

561
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: I have a question for you. Do you participate in

562
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: what they call dry January?

563
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: Now, this is a great question I have, But here's

564
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: a I have a huge problem with dry January. My

565
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: birthday is in January, and that's gonna be wet. You know,

566
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna that I refuse to not drink on

567
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: my birthday because it's in dry January. And also, my

568
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: daughter's birthday is now in January. Now maybe I shouldn't

569
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: be drinking. You know, it shouldn't necessarily be a cause

570
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: for drinking, but there'll be a party, and I would

571
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: be sad if I couldn't have like a beer at

572
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: my daughter's birthday party, which my daughter's birthday is the

573
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: day before my birthday. Isn't that funny?

574
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: Oh?

575
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: But I do think it is nice sometimes to dry

576
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: out a little bit and just you know, reconfigure because

577
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: I am a drinker, but it's good to you know,

578
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: kind of reconfigure your system. I feel like I kind

579
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: of participate, is my answer in dry January.

580
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, okay, that makes sense. I was thinking about

581
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: this obviously because it's such a huge topic right now. Yeah,

582
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: we're at the beginning of the New year, Happy twenty

583
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: twenty five, and a lot of my friends are doing

584
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: this dry January thing. Yes, white knuckling it.

585
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

586
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because I'm kind of like, okay, a,

587
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: when did we start, Like, I don't remember dry January

588
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, Like I don't remember people's parents.

589
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: No, I mean, it feels like it's like ten years old.

590
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then it's sort of that feeling too where

591
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, I get that it's in sort of a

592
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: mode of, you know, we're in a new Year's resolution

593
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: phase where we're trying to be better people for a

594
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: little while and then it all falls apart. But I'm

595
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: also like, I guess it's because I am not like

596
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: a huge drinker, so I don't need a dry January,

597
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: if you know what I mean.

598
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like people will go extra hard

599
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: leading up to dry January and then go real hard

600
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: after Judy January, and it's kind of like, well, why

601
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: this isn't good? You know, moderation is best.

602
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: Well, and so it got me thinking, you know, because

603
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: you know, it's our first episode, it's the first of

604
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: the new year, and so I was like kind of

605
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: thinking let's maybe talk a little bit about you know,

606
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: classic movie drunks or like movies about drinking, and you know,

607
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: not all of it is fun all the time. Yeah,

608
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: like charismatic drunks, but mean drunks. Yeah, and you know

609
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: the whole gamut.

610
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's interesting because there aren't that many movies

611
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: where it's like a celebration of drinking without it being

612
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: about alcoholism, yes, you know, or like the downside of imbibing.

613
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

614
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

615
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: Well, and like, so I started thinking about, like, what

616
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: was the last movie that I remember seeing that just

617
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 2: really was truly about alcoholism, the darkest alcoholic, like maybe

618
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: a movie you'd watch that would inspire you to adopt

619
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 2: a dry jannywhere sure it's something really hardcore. And I

620
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: was like, I think the last one I saw was

621
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: A Star's Board, the remake, the most recent remake of it, Yes,

622
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: which was such a juggernaut when it came out. Did

623
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: you not feel that?

624
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely? And it's one of those movies. When I

625
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: saw the trailer, I was like, Oh, this is gonna

626
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: be so bad. I just thought, I don't know, like

627
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, it's Bradley Cooper's first movie.

628
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: It's obviously like this Passion project. It just I feel

629
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: like it had things going against it. It had kind

630
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: of a goof goofy moment in the trailer that was

631
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: like memed and is still memed, you know the you know,

632
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: but I love this movie and I was really blown

633
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: away and it was a juggernaut and it's the first

634
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: movie in a while where it was like, oh, it's

635
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: a big hit movie with stars and there's a huge

636
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: song attached to it. Like that was fun. It kind

637
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: of was a throwback to old blockbusters in a way

638
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: where there's like a hit song kind of attached and

639
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: embedded in the movie itself, you know.

640
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Like so I decided that I was gonna

641
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: rewatch it actually during the Christmas break because I think

642
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 2: it was on like I don't know, Paramount, so you

643
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: know how it's just like movies. I was like, oh, cool,

644
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: a nice holiday movie where Bradley Cooper drinks himself to death. Amazing.

645
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 2: So I watched it at my parents' house and I

646
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: gotta say, it's still really enjoyable. Yeah, And here's the

647
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: thing that I thought was really interesting about this version

648
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: of it, because if you don't know, I don't know

649
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: how you how you wouldn't at this point a stars

650
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: Board is this like very storied franchise really at this point, Yeah,

651
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: it almost seems like it gets remade like every twenty

652
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: thirty years. You know. The original, the very first Stars

653
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: Born was made in nineteen thirty seven, and it was

654
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: a William Wellman movie. I'm a huge fan of William Wellman,

655
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 2: the director, and that is my actual favorite version of

656
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: the story. Wow is thirty seven because first of all,

657
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: it's like, well, it's the it's the original meeting. The

658
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: story you know, sort of is contained in its own

659
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: like little universe, right, But also the lead actor of

660
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 2: that film, Frederick March, who is I don't know if

661
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: listeners really no Frederick March. I mean he's kind of

662
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: he's a he's a very famous actor of the thirties,

663
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: but you know, isn't like a Gary Cooper say. He

664
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: was very you know, like kind of under the radar.

665
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: I say, if you are a Frederick March fan, we

666
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: should be friends, because you're a real head, you know

667
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: what I mean. That's how cool Frederick March is. He's

668
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: like the big star of nineteen thirties comedic actors.

669
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: He's in a movie I like called I Married a Witch.

670
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: Of course, yes, with Ronica Lake. Yeah, Frederick March is

671
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: the most charming drunk in cinema history for my money, Like,

672
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: and this is what makes the Stars for the original

673
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 2: the best because obviously same premise. This guy, famous guy

674
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: you know, meets this kind of like you Hollywood upstart

675
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 2: on Jenue type. They form a relationship. Then she quickly realizes, oh,

676
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: he's like a fucking alcoholic who like can't handle a shit,

677
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: and what do I do? I'm ascending my stars on

678
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: the rise. This guy is falling on his ass and

679
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: you know, peeing himself in front of the Oscars or

680
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: whatever it was. But it's like she loves him, she's

681
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: tied to him. That's the you know, the baseline of

682
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 2: of the franchise, right, But Frederick March is so charming

683
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: and funny and like sweet that I truly feel like

684
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: I do not want this guy to fail, Like I

685
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: want him to get a shit together and I want

686
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: him to like win, but as you know, spoiler alert,

687
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: he can't win. Yeah, there's got to be tragedy. There's

688
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: got to be tragedy.

689
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: So that's something I want to ask you about because

690
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: you have you seen all of the Stars Born?

691
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I would say the Stars Board is like my

692
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 2: star trek.

693
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: Sure. Sure many have said that.

694
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 2: Like I am very committed, Yes.

695
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: And so I have to I have a few questions

696
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: because I have only seen the Bradley Coop Lady Gaga won,

697
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm sorry, but spoiler alert to the heavens

698
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: on this, I'm not holding back on the ending of this. Sure,

699
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: does the male protagonist pee his pants in front of

700
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: people in all of them? Or was that just in

701
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: the Lady Gaga Bradley Cooper won?

702
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: So what happens in the thirties version is that he

703
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: accidentally hits her? Oh? I think so? Basically like she

704
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: goes to the awards, he does his Holy La, you know,

705
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: interrupts the speech, and then he throws his arm back

706
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: and hits her like on accident, and everyone's like, oh, okay,

707
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: that's what happens in thirty seven. Now, I haven't seen

708
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: the seventies one in a while. I actually don't think

709
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: it's in there at all. And then the James Mason version, No,

710
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he pisses himself because they wouldn't have

711
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: allowed that in the fifties.

712
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't see James Mason pissing his pants on screen.

713
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that was something that Adley Coops. Yeah,

714
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: you know, he put his own stank on that moment. Yes.

715
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this because I have a

716
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: huge fascination with Bradley Cooper as a director.

717
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.

718
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: So this be his first movie that he's directed. He

719
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: went ham right, because he's in the movie, he's saying

720
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: some of the songs. He you know, adopted this like

721
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: almost kind of like this new persona, wouldn't you say?

722
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, It's like kind of like Austin hippie cowboy guy,

723
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: you know.

724
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's like maybe having a drink at Pappy

725
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: and Harriet's in Pioneertown or something. You know.

726
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: Can I interrupt you? I have something to say to

727
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: that matter. I have a personal connection to this film.

728
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: How I went to college with Lucas Nelson, Willie Nelson's son. Okay,

729
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: he co wrote all the music with Bradley Cooper for

730
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: this movie, and Bradley Cooper based his personality on Lucas Nelson.

731
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 2: Is that a known fact?

732
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: There are articles about this?

733
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: Okay?

734
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't know Lucas that well. We hung out

735
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: a few times, and then he'd left college after his

736
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: freshman year to become a rock star and lead the

737
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: band Lucas Nelson in the Promise of the Reel My

738
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: Good Friend, though Logan Metz was in the band The

739
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: Promise of the Reel. Oh wow, and Lucas Nelson is

740
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: in A Star is Born. He's like the guitar player.

741
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: Oh I see, yeah.

742
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting. Bradley Cooper did have a new

743
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: persona and it's kind of based on Lucas Nelson.

744
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: Interesting. There's something fascinating to me about because this. Obviously

745
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: he made more movies after this one. This was the

746
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: one where he was like, I got a lot to prove. Yes,

747
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: I am taking this beloved, storied, historical IP and I'm

748
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 2: gonna do my own weird, you know Nashville guy thing

749
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: with it. Right. Yes, it was a juggernaut. People loved it,

750
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: like it was memified. I mean, people were, you know,

751
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 2: imitating his excit, you know, which was essentially Sam Elliott's accent,

752
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: and you know, I mean it left people shook. I remember, So,

753
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I hate to say this about y'all, but

754
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: like so many straight guys that I'm friends with were

755
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 2: like shook by that movie. Yeah, they were like, man,

756
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: what a movie. Like they had never seen a movie

757
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: that affected their kind as much as this film. Right,

758
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 2: My people, my people like welcome to our world. What

759
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: the fuck? They're like, oh my god, this, like you know,

760
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: dramatic story is hitting me in the fucking fields. And

761
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's what we do here, by the way,

762
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: as you know, we cry about every movie we watch.

763
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: But then he went on to make Maestro, which did

764
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: you see you saw my show? Right?

765
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: I loved my Strow. It was like one of my

766
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: favorite movies of last year. Like, I feel like A

767
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: Star Is Born is such a big swing. It's such

768
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: a big risk because like it could have been such

769
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: a flop because it's like it's so sincere, it's so

770
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: emotional and it really goes for it. And Maestro is

771
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: much the same, but even more so, I feel like

772
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: he felt empowered by A Starsborn to make a nuttier movie.

773
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: Someone pointed out that like every movie he's been in

774
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: and has directed, he plays a genius essentially, and there's

775
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: like a Martyred genius and that's sort of funny. To

776
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: think about. I keep thinking back to this interview with

777
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: Leonard Bernstein's children that Bradley Cooper was in that interview.

778
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? Have you seen this?

779
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, And the interviewer asks the children,

780
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: what do you miss most about him? Of course, Leonard

781
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: Bernstein died in like nineteen ninety one. Bradley Cooper doesn't

782
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: know Leonard Evernstein. But Bradley Cooper answered the question and

783
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: he's like, oh my god, I just I miss him

784
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: so much. I just and he like started crying, and

785
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: I was like, this is so delulu crazy like that

786
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: he felt comfortable answering that question that it made me like,

787
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: maestro more. I mean, it's just such a like a

788
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: vanity project, and it's just it's so outrageously theatrical and

789
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: they're doing so there's so much like accent and makeup

790
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: work going on. I mean, it is so crazy. Bradley

791
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: Cooper's movies are like invigorating and alive in a way

792
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: and like passionate, and it just sucks me in because

793
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: they aren't like other movies coming out now, where so

794
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: many movies that are like highbrow art house movies are

795
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: so quiet and like muted, and the performances are very muted, Yes,

796
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: but Bradley Cooper's they are loud, taking big swings, and

797
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: so I just I just it, just I just drink

798
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: it all in. I just I'm a fan.

799
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I I'm glad you think this because

800
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: I want to say that I have this very nuanced

801
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 2: opinion of Bradley Cooper as a famous person, right, yes,

802
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: and that I think it is informed by my love,

803
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 2: my love and my passion and my writing about fucking

804
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 2: Colt movies. I mean, basically, I'm a Colt movie person

805
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, so here's this like megalomaniac director type. Yes,

806
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 2: Like he's basically like extremely well funded ed Wood meets

807
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: Tommy Wiseau, you know what I mean. Like that that's

808
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 2: not a disparaging comment, by the way, Like I fucking

809
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 2: love ed Wood, but it's like in that way that's

810
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: like making ridiculous, big swing artistic statements. I mean, maybe

811
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 2: not Edwood. Maybe we call him like Bob Foster.

812
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: Sure, Bob Foster is a good comp I think, Yes, Yes.

813
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 2: I appreciate there being at least one or two people

814
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: at any given moment in Hollywood being that maniac Like

815
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate the mania, the like ridiculousness, the sort of

816
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, over the top, like you know, putting himself

817
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 2: in his own movies, like giving himself the duty of

818
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: making old classic things relevant. You know. Yeah, maybe you

819
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: know have feeling like you the onus is on you

820
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: to like extend the story of a stars Bord or

821
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: whatever the fuck right and uh pulling in like all

822
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: of your bullshit in the world, you know, like all

823
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 2: of your weird isms and costumes and noses and ship

824
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: you know who left snoopy in the vestibule? Why, Like,

825
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: damn it, I was.

826
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm mad that you said that, because I was I

827
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: was thinking about doing that for Halloween this year, holding

828
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: a snoopy doll snoopy in the vestibule. Oh my god.

829
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: Like that to me is like, hey, that is my

830
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 2: actual letterbox review for my stroke. By the way, is

831
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: left Snoopy the vestibule. That's all you need, isn't that

832
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: one fucking sentence. Also is the essence of why I

833
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: think he's so funny and I like him ultimately is

834
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 2: because he's just like that, like throwing that into his

835
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: fucking three hour movie. About you know, somebody that he

836
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: feels like he needs to like cry about in front

837
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: of his ChIL You know what I mean?

838
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes, so I am a fan. Yes,

839
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: I look forward to whatever his next project is. I

840
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: hope Maestro didn't throw him off course at all. Do

841
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 1: you like the music in A Star is Born?

842
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: I don't like the bop that they told us was

843
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: the bop. The shallow is a shallow, shallow shallow.

844
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: You don't like shallow? Oh, Millie, don't really hit for me.

845
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: I feel like that's man. I'm just I'm an easy mark.

846
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: I just I was like, I just thought I was

847
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was a great song, and I when

848
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: she first sings it in the movie, I was like

849
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: I was taken away. I don't know it worked for me.

850
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 2: God, the whole thing is just such a bummer.

851
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is like the whole.

852
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: Movie is a real fucking bummer by design. It's been

853
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: that way for decades because the thirty seven version is

854
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: a fucking bummer as well.

855
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: To me.

856
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. When I rewatched it again, I was like,

857
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 2: whoever programmed this at Christmas is a g because this

858
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 2: is like a fucking, straight up bummer of the highest order.

859
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: I feel like, shit, thank you. And then yeah, it

860
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: just sort of made me like re like just have

861
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 2: to remember kind of this, you know, the reality that

862
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: we were living in when this movie came out, and

863
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: how like you know Riley Cooper's media lady Gaga had

864
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 2: had she acted before, like this was her big like god,

865
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: her big thing.

866
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: I mean I think she had like hosted snl oh. Yeah,

867
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: and like I think she was in the Ryan Murphy

868
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: universe doing god knows what goes on there. She is

869
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: so charming in this Yeah, there's a shot when he

870
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: when she's on the side of the stage and he's

871
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: like trying to pull her on to sing Shallow for

872
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: the first time, and she's like hi, and like she's

873
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: like acting like such a like kind of like weirdo,

874
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: Like she's like totally overwhelmed, but it's like it's so

875
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: disarming and charming, and I don't know, I really I

876
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: thought she was so good in this movie.

877
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was absolutely delighted that Andrew Dice Clay played

878
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: her dad.

879
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: Incredible, right, absolutely incredible.

880
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: He was great at it and considering like how obnoxious

881
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: he was, like it is heyday. The fact that he

882
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: just was like some like dad in a movie really

883
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: like made be kind of happy. Yeah, it's like always

884
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 2: like you know, I don't know, he's back and he's

885
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 2: like Lady Gaga's dad who like drives a limo or whatever.

886
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: I don't even know what he does. But yeah, she

887
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: was really great at it. And I you know again

888
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: like that. That's the thing about a Starsborn. It attempts

889
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: to take that kind of like famous diva of the era,

890
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: uh huh and put her in that role. Right, So

891
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, we got Judy Garland, We've got

892
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: Barber Streisan, I mean the first one.

893
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: You know.

894
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 2: I wasn't alive in the thirties, So I don't know

895
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 2: if Janet Gaynor was the Lady Gaga of the thirties

896
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't believe so, but that's the thing

897
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 2: is that like it kind of couldn't have been many

898
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,959
Speaker 2: other people but Lady Gaga to be this role.

899
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 1: Were you ever influenced to drink an alcoholic drink based

900
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: on seeing it in a movie?

901
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 2: Yes, I drank a white Russian after I saw Big Lebowski.

902
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: I did that too.

903
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: Thought it was kind of nasty, to be honest.

904
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: I like a white Russian, but they're an acquired taste.

905
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: I saw the movie north By Northwest with Carrie Grant

906
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: and he orders a Gibson, which is a Martini with

907
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: pearl onions instead of olives. Oh and that's my favorite drink.

908
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: Really Yeah?

909
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: Do you eat the pearl onion like Cass?

910
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't always because that is a potent punch, but

911
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: it is. I like the brine of the pickled onion

912
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: in my martini.

913
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: I love Martini olives.

914
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: They're great.

915
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm like, yo, put like twelve of them

916
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: shits on a stick, and I'm just.

917
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: Gonna dunk, dunk dunk. Yeah, okay, I'm.

918
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 2: Gonna dunk the olive in the Martini drink and just

919
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: eat them. They're so delicious.

920
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: So do you like a dirty Martini? A dirty Martini

921
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 1: is where they actually pour olive brine into the martini.

922
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: Should try it out sometime.

923
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 2: I like the eating component though, that's the one I

924
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: like about Martini's.

925
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Millie? This is so random. You

926
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: and I have only seen each other in person for once,

927
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: and it was like for thirty seconds. Isn't that interesting?

928
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: Was it? At the Egyptian Theater or down that way.

929
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: It was, since you have a terrible memory involving anything

930
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: on with me, it was at the Chinese Multiplex in Hollywood, okay,

931
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: and you were about to see Was that a movie

932
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: with Rod Steiger?

933
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: No, it was, uh, it was Paul Newman, The Hustler.

00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: That's right. I got you and your wife Tricia into

935
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,279

937
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: podcast for a while before that, right.

938
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: No, I think it was pretty early on. I think

939
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: it was. Maybe I've been doing it for like two months.

940
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I see.

958
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:55,480

00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 5: rim glasses to hang out around the edges.

979
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: I will say this though, not to say that we

980
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 2: were not good friends before this, but I feel like

981
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 2: the event that really crystallized our friendship in a deep,

982
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 2: meaningful way is that Playboy article slash interview with John

983
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: Mayer that came out many years ago.

984
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, Like I think.

985
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 2: The biggest topics in that moment were the fact that

986
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 2: Jessica Simpson had been called sexual napalm. Remember I know

987
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: we talked about that, and that he called his penis racist.

988
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is.

989
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 2: I think was the biggest.

990
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: That was, like, I issue number one. I remember this now,

991
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: I was. I didn't realize it was from that article,

992
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: but that's yeah.

993
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

994
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 4: I mean when you say, like share, I'd love to

995
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 4: date women that aren't white, but my being this is racist. Yeah,

996
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 4: you're gonna have people who are not white sit down

997
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 4: and go what yeah?

998
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: And so that's that's what we had to do for hours.

999
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Millie, why don't we transition a little bit into

1000
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: why we wanted to bring Chileuah on the show today.

1001
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 2: We like to bring people on and talk about, you know,

1002
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 2: an area of their film expertise, right, Like, have you

1003
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: gone really hard on like a specific director or a

1004
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 2: specific genre. Are you like very well versed in you know,

1005
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: a certain type of film or like a franchise of

1006
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 2: some kind. And so when I asked you this question

1007
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: and you replied, yes, I do have an expertise, and

1008
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: then you told me what the expertise was, I was thrilled.

1009
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: Let's just say that. Oh yeah, And I think that

1010
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 2: because Casey and I both share this passion as well.

1011
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 2: Oh good, So I feel like we're gonna have an

1012
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 2: incredible debates, Slash. I think there's gonna be a debate

1013
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 2: because I feel like over the course, I mean, let's

1014
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 2: just say it, Chi, what is your area of expertise

1015
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: that you like to talk about today?

1016
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 3: My area of expertise I'd like to discuss today is

1017
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: the Magic Mike Universe, the trilogy, the trilogy.

1018
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I would like to first and foremost, I

1019
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: would like to establish a timeline, if you'll bear with me. Okay,

1020
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: let's establish a timeline of the moment you figured out

1021
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 2: who Channing Tatum was. Did it start with the Step

1022
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: Up films or did you know him prior to that? Like?

1023
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 2: How did how did you enter the universe via Channing Tatum?

1024
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 4: It was the Step Up movie, the first one. I

1025
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 4: didn't see it in the theater, and I did end

1026
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 4: up renting it and watching it, and I remember at

1027
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 4: some point standing up and yelling why didn't I see

1028
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 4: the in the theater because it's so amazing. But that

1029
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 4: definitely was my entry point into Channing Tatum, and I

1030
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 4: viewed him in a particular way, which definitely evolved as

1031
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 4: I got.

1032
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 3: To know him more.

1033
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 4: Air quotes around No, but yes, he came in and

1034
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 4: he really stole my heart very quickly, because he is

1035
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 4: what I like to call one of our chin strap

1036
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 4: beard warriors, And that is what I call any young

1037
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 4: Caucasian man who has an affinity for Black music, for

1038
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 4: R and B, especially for hip hopes, for all aspects

1039
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 4: of hip hop, the graffiti, all of the graffiti, the breakdancing.

1040
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 3: It's the break dancing is important.

1041
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: It is my kryptonite. I have gone on record.

1042
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 3: I truly am stone cold.

1043
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 4: I'm the deuce out here. But if you are a

1044
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 4: young white man with a respectable fade, or a shaved

1045
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 4: head and or a chin strap beard, I don't know,

1046
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,959
Speaker 4: there's gonna be problems. I'm a weekend. I'm a little weak.

1047
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: And what was it when you saw it? What was

1048
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: your reaction to it? Was it nervous and excitement or like,

1049
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: were you surprised by your reaction to it? Were you

1050
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 1: comforted by the dancing?

1051
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 3: I fully enjoyed it, Millie. We saw it together.

1052
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 2: Yes, we did.

1053
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 3: Full disclosure, full disclosure.

1054
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: It was there.

1055
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 3: We saw it together.

1056
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 4: We ran, we ran, But I enjoyed magic, Mike. But

1057
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 4: it also was a little dark. Yes, yes it was.

1058
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 4: And I remember walking out. I was like, I mean, yeah,

1059
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 4: they danced, but oh my god.

1060
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: What they could have danced more?

1061
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 2: Well. This is kind of the like trajectory that I

1062
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 2: think is really interesting about this franchise because it's like, Okay,

1063
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,720
Speaker 2: the first movie was like kind of a dark drama

1064
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 2: ye in certain parts, and it was really mostly about

1065
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: the Alex Pettifer character who was kind of like like

1066
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:11,320
Speaker 2: because Channing Tatum like magical Michael if you will, well, yes,

1067
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: he was already in the world. And then you as

1068
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: a viewer were with the Adam character, the Alex Peddifer character,

1069
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 2: who was like, I'm new to this. I need some

1070
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: extra cash. I guess I'm gonna like start, you know,

1071
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 2: down this road of exotic dancing and drugs and women

1072
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. And that was kind of more

1073
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 2: about his descent into the world. And so there was

1074
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 2: a serious moment, you know, or two, but it was

1075
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 2: like it was really his story. And then when the

1076
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 2: second one came out right yes, they basically were like, well,

1077
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 2: the public has spoken, we have heard the request. Nothing

1078
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 2: no more serious. We don't care about this. Who the

1079
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: fuck cares about Adam. We might as well kill it.

1080
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 3: Off, right.

1081
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: We need to get rid of the darkness, we need

1082
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of ploty, we need to get rid

1083
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: of you know, all the extra stuff, and really concentrate.

1084
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: It's a concentrated film into what is the essence? And

1085
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: I think Magic Mike XXL is the one that is

1086
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: now remembered mostly.

1087
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, I think so. I think what they

1088
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,919
Speaker 4: did is. They took the montage in the first one

1089
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 4: of First they took out all the soderbergness for XXL.

1090
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 4: They took the montage of Matthew McConaughey teaching the new

1091
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 4: kid how to move like a rattlesnake in the marr

1092
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 4: and then you stick it. They took that and then

1093
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 4: they took it out of the Golden Hour lighting.

1094
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: Did some color.

1095
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 3: Brighten this up? Let's check the color of this bitch.

1096
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 4: And then they and then they're like, let's make a

1097
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 4: whole movie of that energy.

1098
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: Put them in an ice cream truck and let them

1099
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 2: travel around the South.

1100
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 3: America loves a road movie.

1101
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: America loves it.

1102
00:58:59,040 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1103
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 1: They really. They remove all steaks too. I mean there's

1104
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: like no steaks in the second one. Really. I mean,

1105
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: in some ways, Magic Mike XXL feels more like kind

1106
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: of like an art house experimental film because you're like, where.

1107
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 3: Are you going?

1108
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: Where are they going? It's not a competition, They're not

1109
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: going it's like a showcase. They don't win anything, so

1110
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: there's no like prize money that they need to get something.

1111
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: They're just kind of like hanging out, going place to place,

1112
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, dropping in on all these people and thrusting

1113
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: on them, and it's just like it's more of an

1114
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: interesting kind of experiment in what a film can be

1115
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: than the first one, which is more of like a

1116
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: traditional like arc you know.

1117
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the second one is definitely it's a magic, magic,

1118
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 4: magic magic bike.

1119
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 2: It's a magic magic magic mic.

1120
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: Yes.

1121
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 5: Well.

1122
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 2: What I think is also really fascinating about the second one, too,

1123
00:59:54,360 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 2: is that they introduced this Jada Pinkett Smith speak on it,

1124
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 2: mansion of Exotic Dancing Men, like whatever this private club was,

1125
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 2: and that in and of itself has a lore that

1126
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 2: needs its own movie totally, Like that house needs to

1127
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: have its own franchise.

1128
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,440
Speaker 1: It has has its own like Ballerina john Wick type

1129
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: movie exactly.

1130
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I may be getting ahead of us, but

1131
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 4: this is why I was so angry with the Last Dance.

1132
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 3: Yes, Magic Mike's Last Dance, the third one, we'll get there.

1133
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, But because of what they did in the second movie, Like,

1134
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 4: there are a couple of stories that definitely could have

1135
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 4: been just like offshoots from this main thing that would

1136
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 4: have been fine, you know, maybe not theatrical release, I

1137
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 4: don't know, but you could have thrown that either on

1138
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 4: straight to DVD or a streamer, wherever it would have

1139
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: fallen in the timeline of.

1140
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Excellent to be movie, an excellent TOOV movie.

1141
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 2: It'd be like an Amazon freew original, yes, free original

1142
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 2: of like what's his name, big big Dick, big Dick Rich.

1143
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 4: Like he finally finding his glass slipper and now moving

1144
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 4: in like probably taking up with that woman.

1145
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 3: What did that look like?

1146
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 4: Totally Also to find out the personalities of these dancers.

1147
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 2: They were like a boy band. It was like, yeah,

1148
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 2: boy band, Like it was like he had the bomber character,

1149
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 2: was kind of this like Ed Kowalchiky like kombucha Eastern

1150
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 2: religion guy. And you're like, why did that happen? And

1151
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 2: then you know you've got like the big Dick Richie story.

1152
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean even like the fucking Kevin Nash had a

1153
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 2: moment's pantst right.

1154
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 4: And then it was a desert storm, like all kinds

1155
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 4: of all kinds of stuff.

1156
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Then it's like what And it's not like I.

1157
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 4: Need you to give me a movie for each one

1158
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,800
Speaker 4: of these guys, like a like a children's book.

1159
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 3: Or I don't need I don't need to know all.

1160
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 4: Of that, but there were a couple of things that

1161
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 4: happened to them that it's like, how did you end

1162
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 4: up here?

1163
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1164
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: You know, you definitely could be We could do a.

1165
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Four rooms sure, yeah, different directors, just take you know

1166
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: what director for each one, like an anthology.

1167
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we could do that for them.

1168
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 2: At the very.

1169
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 3: Least, that would have been something, Yeah.

1170
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: Well bringing up the characters and like how you get

1171
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: to know them in the second one, which is like

1172
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: what makes that second one so great? Then they take

1173
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: that away immediately in the third one. My gosh, I

1174
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: think they're on a zoom call or something.

1175
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: You was so offended by that.

1176
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: I was.

1177
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: I was like, I am walking out of this theater.

1178
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 2: And I saw the third one in London.

1179
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

1180
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 2: I was actually in England the weekend that it came out,

1181
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, I feel like I'm in the story,

1182
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: you know whatever? Why in London? Don't know why? And

1183
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 2: then when that happened, I was like, you're meeting to

1184
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 2: tell me that the boys the gang are gonna be

1185
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 2: relegated to a fucking zoom. That was like all stuttering

1186
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 2: and like you know, bad wi Fi. I was like,

1187
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 2: this is an insult, an insult to the second.

1188
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,959
Speaker 3: One, Yeah, I was so mad.

1189
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Well, I thought that they were like setting it up.

1190
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: It's like, Oh, don't worry, they're gonna have to fix

1191
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: some things with the show, and they're going to bring

1192
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: the boys back to help fix the show. And that

1193
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: did not happen.

1194
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 3: No, we didn't even get a good like.

1195
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 4: Boys in that they found. That's really what got me.

1196
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, it really was bad. It was

1197
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 4: it was Godfather three, y'all. It was god The whole

1198
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 4: thing gave me my personally. I was like, oh, this

1199
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 4: is my personal Godfather. Because I love the first one.

1200
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 4: I really love the second one. The second one had

1201
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 4: two stories going on, really and then the third one

1202
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 4: is questionable at best, but I do not like it.

1203
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well the third one made me sad too, because

1204
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, in Magic Mike ex Excel, it seems like

1205
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: he's gotten the furniture business off the ground, he's making

1206
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: his own money, he's doing well. Yeah, the third one

1207
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 1: starts with him working some shitty catering job at Selma

1208
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Jayak's house. I'm like, what happened?

1209
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 2: What happens?

1210
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just sort of like starts as

1211
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: an off as a bummer.

1212
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 3: It does. It really does.

1213
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 4: And I mean after the first performance that he gives

1214
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 4: for he did a few things. I was just like, physically,

1215
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:24,959
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh wow, okay, you still got it, Mike.

1216
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 4: I don't like, you don't want to train like Magic

1217
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 4: Mike the next generation or like a like you know,

1218
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 4: which I think.

1219
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 3: Is already like a reality show or something.

1220
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 4: But sure there was space for him to pass down

1221
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: his chin strap like learnings teachings to London where I'm sure.

1222
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure the chin strap dude situation there is fantastic.

1223
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 4: They concentrated on the wrong thing because they paid for

1224
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 4: Salmahayak to be there. That's why do you feel like

1225
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 4: this franchise could either be rebooted it's some future points

1226
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,919
Speaker 4: maybe even completely different people you know how they do now,

1227
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 4: or there will be like a fourth movie way into

1228
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 4: the future that could be done.

1229
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it is like a Netflix thing or something like.

1230
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that's at all possible any future

1231
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: with this franchise at all?

1232
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 4: I don't think the reviews were great on three, and

1233
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 4: that may have stuck in Channing Katom's Krang maybe a

1234
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 4: little bit, because that is I feel like what it

1235
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 4: would take for a fourth one to be made. It's

1236
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 4: there's room you can you can save it if you

1237
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 4: have a movie with a little life in it. I honestly,

1238
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 4: I really love the idea of like doing the Jada story,

1239
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 4: but that might be too far gone now. Yeah, but

1240
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 4: I think that they could do some sort of a reboot, Like.

1241
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: What if they got like Nicholas Galazine to.

1242
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 4: Be Oh, Nicholas Gallatin, that's my new favorite guy.

1243
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 3: I love him so much.

1244
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: What if he was Magic Mike, the son Magic Mike.

1245
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 4: I called it the Son of Magic Mike. That would

1246
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 4: be enough. Son of Magic Mike is like so funny. Yeah,

1247
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 4: I think that's what they would have to do. They'd

1248
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 4: have to do it like they did the Step Up,

1249
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 4: like where Channing just comes through for one scene and

1250
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 4: he's literally glowing like I don't know.

1251
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 3: Obi wan kenobi or some shit.

1252
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 4: And he just kind of comes through and it's just

1253
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 4: like I give you the power or something something glittery throat,

1254
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 4: and now he's able to his son or his nephew

1255
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 4: or some whatever is now able to I think that's

1256
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 4: what it would take.

1257
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I have a pitch just based on everything

1258
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: you just said. Shlua, son of son of Magic Mike. Okay,

1259
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: Nicholas Gallop, why do you say Allen Allen's scene okay?

1260
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: And he has a bad relationship with his father, uh

1261
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: huh okay, And he goes up and do his attic

1262
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: and he finds all the old pictures and videos of

1263
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: his dad stripping, and then he starts stripping, and then

1264
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: Magic Mike is like, you don't want to go down

1265
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: that road, like it'll ruin, it'll.

1266
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Kill you it, let's go, let's go.

1267
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: In the end the finale, Channing comes out to save

1268
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: his son somehow by stripping.

1269
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm here, I'm kind of here for it.

1270
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: I think that would work.

1271
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 2: The other angels, the other Angels.

1272
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Like like the end of Star Wars, you see

1273
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: the ghosts of All We Want and Darthyding there see

1274
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: Big Big and he's like translucent, you know, like smiling

1275
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: down yeah.

1276
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 2: Because they're dead.

1277
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1278
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 4: I would love nothing more than to see Nicholas Gallatin

1279
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 4: in an attic lifting out of a dusty box a

1280
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 4: penis pump, Yes, just blowing the dust off a penis

1281
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 4: pump and just like what is this and then like

1282
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 4: packing it all up, leaving the house you know, give

1283
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 4: us a little bit of love is a battlefield Pat

1284
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 4: Benatar video vibe. Like all of this a little bit

1285
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 4: of very eighties like us against the System vibe. Yes,

1286
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 4: anything that ends with somebody with their fist up at

1287
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 4: the end in a freeze frame, I think we got it.

1288
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think that's it. Yeah, I think that's it.

1289
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a way in, it's away in, and it's

1290
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 4: so wild and then you just want to see what happens.

1355
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: That was a hard conversation to even stop talking about

1356
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: Magic Mike because I feel like it really there was

1357
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: so much more in the chamber there. We really, I

1358
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: mean we could have. Yeah, it was really hard to

1359
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: pull back on that. I mean, we might need to

1360
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: do follow up episodes, honestly, yo, Yo.

1361
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: It made me want to change the theme of the podcast.

1362
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 2: Just do we want about the Magic Mic franchise.

1363
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: So there you go. Frankly the format of the podcast

1364
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 1: to all of our episodes being about the Magic Mic

1365
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: extended universe.

1366
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 2: So that was great.

1367
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: Oh god, Okay, moving on, Let's get into our final

1368
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: segment of the show, Employee Picks. This is where we

1369
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,640
Speaker 1: do a film recommendation based on kind of what we

1370
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: talked about in this episode. Did I ever tell you

1371
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: about the chicks picks at Mister Movies at my Low

1372
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: video store? No?

1373
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 2: I love Employee Picks, so tell me tell me about it.

1374
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: So there was like, you know, the staff picks at

1375
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: my local video store, Mister Movies in Minneapolis, and it

1376
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 1: was all dudes who worked there, and they were nice men,

1377
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,400
Speaker 1: but my mom was like bothered by this. My mother,

1378
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: and so she went in and she was like, you know,

1379
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: you don't have any women on the staff picks. It's

1380
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: like five guys recommending action movies. Love that, And the

1381
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,719
Speaker 1: manager was like, oh my gosh, you're right. To his credit,

1382
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: he was like, oh my gosh, you're right. We need

1383
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:38,640
Speaker 1: to do something about this. And my mom goes, well,

1384
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,759
Speaker 1: I have an idea. How would we do a box

1385
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: and women can submit their picks to this box and

1386
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: you can have a chicks Picks row.

1387
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1388
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: He's like, oh that's great. Yeah, maybe we'll get started

1389
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: on that. And then my mom is like, well, I

1390
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: already made a box for you. So here's your box

1391
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: and you can put it up on the counter. So

1392
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: then like the next week, there was a little you know,

1393
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: on one of the shelves it said chicks Picks with

1394
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: movies recommended by women.

1395
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 2: First of all, you're fired. Your mom is hired to

1396
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:08,760
Speaker 2: close this podcast me.

1397
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: My mom's a pioneer.

1398
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 2: I think it explains a lot about you to be honest,

1399
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 2: that is wonderful. She's like a fucking to suffragette or something.

1400
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 2: I love it.

1401
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Anyways, yeah, that's kind of my you know,

1402
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: part of my film history. You know, as a child.

1403
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: That was probably like twelve when my mom did that.

1404
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 2: Wow, that's like And honestly, were you ever able to

1405
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 2: create an employee pick at all in any of your jobs?

1406
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 2: Because I take that shit real seriously.

1407
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: No, I don't think. I don't think I've had an

1408
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something like that.

1409
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god. You should just get a job where

1410
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 2: you could do it. It is so fun.

1411
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: So quit this podcast and do something else and have

1412
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: my mom co hosts the podcast with you and said, okay,

1413
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: got it.

1414
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Of course, allo Asten. I think we're ironing out the

1415
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 2: rest of your life here. Sure. But I you know,

1416
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:01,839
Speaker 2: I worked in many record stores. I worked at Tower Records.

1417
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 2: That was like such a huge responsibility because that was

1418
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 2: in a very prominent location in the store. I mean

1419
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 2: there's Tower Records, of course, And I was like, your mom,

1420
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 2: I was like, this is such a moment for me

1421
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 2: as one of the only women that work in a store,

1422
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 2: a music store. I was like, I'm doing research. I'm

1423
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 2: gonna do things unexpected. I'm not doing it like the

1424
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: other guys do it. So, needless to say, this is

1425
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 2: the employee picks is such a part of video store culture,

1426
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: so we wanted to kind of replicate something like that

1427
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 2: because we just thought it would be really cool.

1428
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,839
Speaker 1: Totally. So imagine this on a shelf in a digital

1429
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: video store somewhere. Yeah, so, Milli, why did you give

1430
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: your your pick first?

1431
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 2: So my employee pick for this week, because we are

1432
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:51,839
Speaker 2: talking about dry January and drinking and films, is actually

1433
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 2: about alcoholism. It's kind of a bummer, not gonna lie.

1434
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 2: But it's a film from nineteen fifty two and it's

1435
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 2: called come Back Little Sheba, directed by the great Daniel Mann.

1436
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 2: This is a movie that stars Burt Lancaster and Shirley Booth,

1437
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,640
Speaker 2: who is one of my favorite actresses in classic Hollywood.

1438
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 2: If you like Shirley Booth, email us at Deer Movies

1439
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 2: at exactly Rightmedia dot com. We are gonna be friends

1440
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,719
Speaker 2: if you like Shirley Booth. But it's a movie about

1441
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: this married couple. You know, obviously Burt Lancaster Shirley Booth

1442
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 2: married couple and Burt Lancaster is an alcoholic and he's

1443
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 2: in recovery, and it was one of the first or

1444
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 2: maybe the first time that alcoholics anonymous AA was ever

1445
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 2: mentioned in a film, so it kind of has a

1446
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 2: little bit of a little bit of historical relevance because

1447
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 2: of that. But it's a heartbreaker, man, and I love

1448
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,799
Speaker 2: a fucking fifties weepie. I love these types of films.

1449
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 2: There's no like Frederick marsh being a charming, joyous drunk.

1450
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 2: This is straight up like, I hate my life because

1451
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 2: I can't have a drink and I don't know if

1452
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 2: I want to be married anymore, and now I gotta

1453
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:07,600
Speaker 2: watch my husband feel this way. And it's just a

1454
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 2: it's a bummer of a film, but it is a

1455
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:14,000
Speaker 2: great film, and I feel like it's not talked about enough.

1456
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: So there's that. That's my wreck.

1457
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: Fabulous, Yeah, fabulous. I haven't seen it. I got it.

1458
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: I must check it out.

1459
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

1460
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: My recommendation since we're talking about drinking, is a movie

1461
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty. It's a Danish film, so you will

1462
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: be reading subtitles, y'all. It's called Another Round. It's by

1463
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: the filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. It stars the very Hot Mad's Michelson,

1464
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: and it is about these four high school teachers who

1465
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 1: kind of all sort of have depressing lives. They're friends

1466
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: and they read about this medical guy who says that

1467
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: you actually operate better if you're a tiny bit drunk,

1468
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: Like your optimal pH kind of level is if you

1469
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: are a little bit drunk. So they decide to test

1470
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,599
Speaker 1: this out, and like are just kind of drunk all

1471
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: the time. And at first it's like fun, Yeah, they

1472
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: feel great all the time, and then it sort of

1473
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: devolves as some of these guys shouldn't be drinking all

1474
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: the time. It's an interesting kind of exploration of alcohol

1475
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: because I think it has a more complex conversation because

1476
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: it's not saying like drinking is bad. It's more like

1477
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: drinking can be bad. If your life is bad and

1478
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: you are drinking a lot, that is bad. But alcohol

1479
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: in it of itself isn't bad, but it can be.

1480
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: And so I don't know, it's kind of an interesting

1481
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: thing because I just feel like sometimes movies exploration of

1482
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: drinking is so cut and dry. If you see someone

1483
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 1: drinking hard alcohol in a movie, you're like, oh ooh,

1484
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 1: something bad. Is gonna happen that guy's tortured, you know.

1485
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's a really interesting movie by a

1486
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 1: really interesting filmmaker. It won Best International Film at the Oscars.

1487
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 1: Thomas Benderberg is a very interesting filmmaker. He comes from

1488
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: Denmark and he was a part of the Dogma ninety

1489
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 1: five movement, which he started with another Danish filmmaker named

1490
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Lars von Trier. And that was like in the nineties,

1491
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 1: and they had all these rules for making films. It

1492
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 1: was like had to be shot on like a video

1493
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: camera with no tripod, no violence. They had all these rules.

1494
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: They were kind of like really art housey movies, and

1495
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,919
Speaker 1: there are some really good ones, like one of his films,

1496
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: The Celebration is really good even if it is shot

1497
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 1: on a video camera. But he kind of was like, ah,

1498
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that anymore, and he stopped

1499
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: making moves. He stopped being like such a pretentious prick.

1500
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: But Another Round is fabulous. Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to

1501
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: remake it, but I don't know if that's still happening,

1502
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: but I'm checking it out. So anyways, Another Round. You

1503
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: can watch that on Prime. It's on if you're a

1504
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: prime video. I think it's You can stream it on

1505
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: there Peacock Canopy, which is a live app you can

1506
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 1: watch movies for free on there, so it's in a

1507
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: lot of places, but check it out. It's a great movie.

1508
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: Another round from twenty twenty sounds great.

1509
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 2: I love it, Millie.

1510
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We recorded our entire first episode and

1511
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: we didn't kill each other by the end of it.

1512
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 2: No, I just fired you and hired your mother.

1513
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was fired a few times replaced by my mom,

1514
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: which was humiliating, but we made it to the end.

1515
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,640
Speaker 2: We did, we did. I'm excited this is This is

1516
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:31,479

Speaker 1: We're very excited about it. We have so many ideas

1524
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,960
