1
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to a bonus episode of I Saw

2
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: What You Did. My name is Millie to Jerco, I'm

00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Henderson, all right, So Sophie is in the room

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: with me, by the way, so if you hear a

5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: jangly sound, that is her. And hey, how's it going, Danielle.

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: It's going very well. Excited for so many of the

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: episodes that we have coming up. But I also love

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: a bonus. I love a bonus, and you know, it's

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: really cool, Like I'm psyched. We got a lot of emails,

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: like too many to choose from a lot of emails

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: about the sun Tea jug.

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 3: I knew it, which is like so charming.

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: So many of y'all are fiends for sun Tea, like

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: you are our people, and we appreciate it.

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: But I feel like we should give an update on

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: sun Tea jug.

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So I think it might be impossible to actually

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: offer sun Tea jugs with our logo on it, because,

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: as you know, A, We're gonna have to find somebody

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: who sells blank sun Tea jugs for customization, which I

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: don't really know who's who's in that business.

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, not not only that, we can't ship glass. Yeah,

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: Like it's not like we're shipping it from our homes,

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: like we're shipping it from a company, and then we

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: have to store the sun Chea jugs and hope that

26
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: they survive transit to that place and then to you.

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we kind.

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Of we kind of we kind of, uh, we've been

29
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: off more than we can choot with that one.

30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Well, we first of all didn't realize it would be

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: so popular of an idea quite honestly. But then and

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: then when we start kind of lightly researching it alongside

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: some of the folks here at exactly right, I was.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I was personally like, I watch a lot of Shark Tank.

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: So the thing that I was thinking about the most

36
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: is like getting the price down, getting the manufacturing price down.

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: And the more I kept thinking about it, I was like,

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: we're never gonna get the price down. We're never Like

39
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: it's we're gonna have to spend so much money to

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: manufacture it, to ship it that it would be an

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: insane amount passed on to the customer. I don't think

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: y'all wanted to pay like eighty dollars for a Sunseea chug.

43
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Oh, this this is my one hundred

44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: dollars sun Tea jug that I.

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Got from this podcast that I listened to.

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: Ah, they had the fucking nerve to make it, so

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: I had to buy it, and I regret it every day,

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: Like every glass of sun Tea that you drink will

49
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: be infuriating because you'll just be remembering how much you

50
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: had to spend to make it.

51
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: But I will say this, if any of y'all want

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: to come up with like a prototype design, like maybe

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying we can do anything with it,

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: no promises, you know, maybe you can just post it

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: on our social media or something. But if you have

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: like a design you're working on, or some artwork about

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: a sun Tea joke with the with the I Saw

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: logo on it.

59
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: Have at it.

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, get creative.

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: Oh that would be really fun. That'd be like a

62
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: fun little social media thing. Yeah, we could see all

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: these We have so many creative people following us. I'd

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: love to see your son t jug designs.

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we've got some like actual graphic designers

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: that follow us, I know for sure, So I'm not

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to call you out by name. But

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that if you came up with a

69
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: concept for it, maybe we could post it.

70
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: And then also, if you this is I mean, this

71
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: is something that I hate to say, but it's just factual.

72
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Because I love our listeners so much, but y'all don't

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: buy our merch.

74
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: So we can't in good faith even make a son

75
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Ta Jug because everyone's like, yeah, I'll buy one'll buy one,

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: and then we put up the merch and people are like, no,

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: I didn't actually mean it. So like we had, we

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: kind of tested the theory with our give us the

79
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: Bee of the D shirt, which so many people said

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: they would buy, and now that we the shirt actually exists,

81
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: that is not in fact true.

82
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 3: So I don't think they're gonna let us keep making

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: merch because y'all am buying it.

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, if you, if you, if you love us,

85
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: if you meant it, buy one of our give us

86
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: the Bee of the D shirts. And if we actually

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: start selling merch, then maybe we can eventually make one

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: son Ta Jug and raffle it off.

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

90
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Hell, I'll I'll hand letter it or something, I'll stenzel

91
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: the shit out of it. I'll fucking do some glass etching.

92
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we should do that as like a gift,

93
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: a gift to somebody. Thet'll just make our own handmade

94
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: sun tea chug.

95
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: What are the parameters for the For the raffle, it'll

96
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: be like you have to show us.

97
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: You have to prove how much you pee in a day,

98
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Like will you drink a whole jug of sun tea

99
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: or maybe that's oh, maybe that's it, instead of like

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: you know those those contest where you to put your

101
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 2: hand on a truck and then the last one standing wins.

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: Oh my god, maybe hands.

103
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: On a hard body, hands on a sunsea jug.

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: That would be so fucking funny, and then everyone will

105
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 3: get sued. It'll be wonderful.

106
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my god, my fucking partner hasn't had

107
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: anything to drink, hasn't moved in like five days, just

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: to this fucking sun tea jug.

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: Our house is a shambles, Our children are filthy.

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the plan. We're gonna rent a ballroom in

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: a mid price hotel. We're going to put a custom

112
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: hand stenciled I saw what you did sun tea jug

113
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: in the middle of the room. Clear out all the chairs,

114
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: all of the tables and then we're gonna make people

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: put their hands on it. They're gonna have to basically

116
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: pile on top of each other because you know, as

117
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: you know, a suntee jrug is not that big a

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to Whoever the last person standing

119
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: is is the winner of this jug. We're not paying

120
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: for your accommodations or your food. If you bring loved

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: ones to the event, they're gonna have to book their

122
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: own rooms in the hotel at their expense. We're not

123
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: paying for anything. And at the end of this herculean task,

124
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: you will simply go home with a sun Sea chart.

125
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: You will be dehydrated.

126
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure your your endocrine system will shut down.

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: You will also basically you will also have hospital bills

128
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: at the end of it.

129
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: But you will have a suntya jug at the end

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 3: of it as well.

131
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: The poop that has collected in your pants will have

132
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: created a rash that no dermatologists will be able to fix.

133
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: All in all, in effort to win a prize from

134
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: a podcast.

135
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: Oh good, that will be an amazing story for you

136
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: to tell your doctors.

137
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: How did this happen?

138
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: Well, it started with an episode of a film podcast,

139
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: and now I've been hospitalized for three weeks, like someone

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: who was roaming around the Andes after a plane crash.

141
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: I have the same amount of injuries that you would

142
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: have if you were in the movie Alive, or if

143
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: you're a part of that soccer team.

144
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: But all I did was go to a ballroom and

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: hold the sun Ta jug.

146
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: I had to bite my own limbs off with my teeth.

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm missing digits. My mouth doesn't even work anymore.

148
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: My mouth doesn't even work anymore, and I can't even

149
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 2: enjoy the sun tea I'm going to make in this jug.

150
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: Was it worth it? Yes? Yes, it was worth it?

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: Or modification? Since we're renting the ballroom, what.

152
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: If we do a little duck duck goose style like

153
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: we You and I just walk around and tap people

154
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: on the head mm hmm, and then they have to

155
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: put there. Whoever gets to the sun Tea jug first

156
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: and puts their hand on it wins, And we just

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: keep whittling people out until we get down to two,

158
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: and then we make them actually fight each other for it.

159
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Look, we've never been afraid of a bare knuckle brawl

160
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: under our orders. Of course, there's no greater satisfaction in

161
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: life than to force strangers to fight for something, for

162
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: something that you will be giving them.

163
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we are dictators that heart. We are the

164
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: worst of the worst dictators at heart. And if we

165
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: didn't have pets, I think we would be diabolical. I

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: think our pets keep us loving and generous and kind.

167
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: The long story short of this intro is, we can't

168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: do it. We can't do a sun tea jug. Thank

169
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: you for your interest, and we will come up with

170
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: a disgusting, diabolical scheme to get one of them made,

171
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: and then we will either raffle it off or find

172
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: some way to make everyone fight for it.

173
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I like to be This is in all honesty.

174
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: There have been ideas to create like a Suntee jug

175
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: sticker or something like that. I mean, we'll look into

176
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: it or whatever, but just so that we can't ship

177
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: glass and that we did research it a little bit

178
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: and found out that it would be prohibitively expensive for

179
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: you to purchase this chunk. So there that goes. But

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: we love the enthusiasm, you know.

181
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: We love that you're hydrated. We love that you're hydrated.

182
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: Stay hydrated out there. I think we should get to

183
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: some emails, because the more we talk about this, the

184
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: more schemes I'm coming up with. Oh I know, and

185
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone wants that peek intil my brain.

186
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, we spitball so many business ideas and so many schemes,

187
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: just like you and I sitting around. So we should

188
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: probably get to emails.

189
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: We spitball so many business ideas. Actually, we should compile them.

190
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: I feel like when the podcast is over, like whenever

191
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: that is, decades into the future, we should have a

192
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: running list of all the businesses that we've thought up. Oh, Like,

193
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: I'll go back and listen to all the episodes from

194
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: the beginning and be like, what we thought of?

195
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: And you have to include like TV shows that we've created.

196
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Like I was listening to an old Bonus episode the

197
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: other day and about we created a reality television dating

198
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: show about killing her husband. I was like, oh, yeah,

199
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: I forgot. We said that we're gonna have to produce it.

200
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: To bather, it's a strike. That's a great idea.

201
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: We also at one point redesigned a box of crackers

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: to not include any recipes on the back.

203
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: Dude, that is so old.

204
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: That's a deep cut.

205
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Ship.

206
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: Let me read this first email. But yeah, we will combine.

207
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: We will combine all of our business ideas and then

208
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: we're just gonna hand them to somebody and be like,

209
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: can we patent?

210
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: We'll lend them to a patent lawyer and be like, hey,

211
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: any of this work eh? And then we'll get laughed

212
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 2: out of every office.

213
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 3: It'll be great, haha.

214
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: Our first email is from Sue and the subject of

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: this email is my insane comfort movie pick and a question. Hi,

216
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: I saw Pod Crew. I'm Sue. She her Day One listener.

217
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: I'll get right to my story. In college, I casually

218
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: recommended a movie to my friend, saying it's one of

219
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: my comfort movies, and then I watch it when I'm

220
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: feeling down with just that recommendation, my friend watches the

221
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: film hoping to be cheered up. The next day, she

222
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: storms into my dorm room pissed and distraught, saying, why

223
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 2: would you recommend this? Was this a prank? You're completely

224
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: banned from recommending things now. The movie A Single Man,

225
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: directed by Tom Ford. Yep, my feel good movie was

226
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: about a depressed gay man with a dead husband who

227
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: thinks about suicide the entire day.

228
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: It wasn't a prank. I feel like how George, the

229
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: main character feels at the end of the movie is

230
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: very clarifying and it helps me have perspective on my

231
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: own life with gratitude. I still stand by my.

232
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: Own feelings, but this experience made me ask more follow

233
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: up questions. When friends are looking for movie res, their

234
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: definition of feel good may not match mine.

235
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: Us.

236
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: I earned a reputation among my friends for having an

237
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: insane comfort movie pick, So a question for you, what

238
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: are your insane comfort movie picks? Always massively enjoy listening

239
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: to you both. When it launched, it was exactly the

240
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: film perspective I had been wishing for, and it still

241
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: remains so to this day, and I do watch the

242
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: movies love E Sue, Oh, thank you E Sue.

243
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: I feel this in my bones and I have.

244
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: I think we have like one hundred and twenty episodes

245
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: of this podcast to prove how insane my comfort movie

246
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: suggestions are. Basically, any movie I've recommended from the year

247
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: two thousand to twenty ten that Millie watched that she

248
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 2: hasn't seen before is an insane comfort movie watch. But

249
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: I love this question because I think that comfort movies

250
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: are so specific to the person, so it's hard to

251
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: recommend comfort movies. It's easy to recommend movies you like,

252
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: it's easy to recommend movies for a specific mood, but

253
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: comfort is.

254
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 3: A hard one. I wouldn't take that on explicitly because

255
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: it is difficult.

256
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: But I think one of the movies that's one of

257
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: my comfort movie watches that I think is in the

258
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: same vein as e Sues, which we actually will be

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: covering on the pod shortly.

260
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: Is The Hours. I fucking love it. I can watch

261
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: it back to back all day every day.

262
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: I don't know why it's such a sad movie, but

263
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: there's just so much story and life in that film,

264
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: and I.

265
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: Just I love it. I love It's visually stunning.

266
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: Michael Cunningham's book was so great, and I think they

267
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: did a great job of, you know, translating it to film,

268
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: and it just it's just one of those comfort movie

269
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: watches for me that I could It's again for me,

270
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: A definition of a comfort watch is something that I

271
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: can turn on when I need to feel cozy or

272
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: I need to feel better, and that is definitely one

273
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: for me. But my other insane comfort movie picks or

274
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: comfort picks are actually more TV related because I cannot

275
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: tell you how many times I've watched Her Nobyl from

276
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: start to finish.

277
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know why.

278
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: I know it's fucking fascinating and insane that it happened.

279
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: I cannot get over it. But like the music and

280
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: the visuals and like, I just I just love it.

281
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: I just fucking love watching it. And I hate that

282
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: it happened, but I love watching it. I think again,

283
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: they did a stunning job with representing exactly what went

284
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: down and how the government failed, and how the political

285
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: climate of the time failed, and just like all of it,

286
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: I just I love it. It's insane that I cannot tell

287
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: you how many times I've watched Her Nobyl, like all episodes,

288
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: probably I think I've probably watched it sixteen times.

289
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

290
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: I just put it out. I put it on when

291
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: I'm when I'm traveling. I download it when I'm traveling.

292
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: That is dark. Like I was sitting there going like, oh,

293
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: she's probably gonna say Hannibal. Oh, but Chernobyl and for

294
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Noble was darker than Hannibal in terms of what I

295
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say.

296
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: No, it's a fucking great series, but it is dark

297
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: as hell, and I think the reason it comforts me

298
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: is knowing it kind of propels me into action to

299
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: kind of not ignore when things are objectly wrong in

300
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: the world, Like you have to fight against things that

301
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: are completely wrong that are harmful to humans.

302
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: So it's just kind of activating in that.

303
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: Way for me, a little motivating. I'm sure that wasn't

304
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: what they intended when they made it, but yeah, and

305
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: it's a great story. Like I also, I think what's

306
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: also really what's comforting to me is the storytelling aspect

307
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: of it. So same with The Hours, where I just

308
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: I love watching a complicated story unfold and it motivates

309
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: me in my writing life to think, oh, yeah, I

310
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: can do that. I can I can have my more

311
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: insane ideas kind of play out.

312
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, listen, that is an insane comfort pick that

313
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: you really nailed it on the head. There, I'm with you.

314
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you, right, I mean, I think minor Like

315
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: I like what you said though at the beginning about

316
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: kind of a distinction between like what's comfort because I

317
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of see it in two different ways. So there's

318
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: like the comfort film that is sort of aesthetically comforting,

319
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: like whatever that story is, like even a story like

320
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: like a movie like bad Lands for example, right, Terrence Mallix,

321
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: bad Lands, Like that is a beautiful film. It is

322
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: about two people who are on a crime murdering crime spree. Yes,

323
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: but the tempo, the soundtrack, the score, the pacing of

324
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: it is very beautif right, So that would be kind

325
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: of like a perfect example for me. Yeah, in the

326
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: same vein And this is an actual I would call

327
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: it a comfort film for me is Flowers in the Attic,

328
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: which we talked about on the podcast. Ah, like the

329
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: movie is so deeply fucked up. It is literally about

330
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: child abuse. However, I can't breathe.

331
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: Ah.

332
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: You're also in this like world of this like crazy

333
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: house and these like weird kind of Victorian ish nods

334
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: to things like there's you know, the grandmother with her

335
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: like kind of Victorian callers with the cameos, and I

336
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: don't know, it's got this kind of like dollhouse vibe

337
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: to it.

338
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: That it brings it back to my own childhood of

339
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: playing with a haunted doll.

340
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something aesthetically like and there's the soundtrack of

341
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: the like oh, like that's from the Little Mermaid. But

342
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like a can.

343
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: Somebody please do a cut of flowers in the attic?

344
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: Trailer to the Little Mermaid soundtrack.

345
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like that type of soundtrack of

346
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: like a woman singing a haunted melody.

347
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: It's Ethereal. We know you love Kate Bush. We know

348
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: you love an ethereal bitch.

349
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: I love an ethereal bitch. But that so that's a

350
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: comfort film for me. It's flowers in the Attic. And

351
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: then another one is definitely way less chaotic. But something

352
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: that is a comfort film is Sneakers. We talked about

353
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: that movie too, where Sneakers is like kind of like

354
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: a weird crime, heisty group film type of thing. But

355
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: I think the score, the score, the way it's shot,

356
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: all of that stuff is very aesthetic comforting to me.

357
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: But then you have the other side of the core,

358
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: which is like a comfort film, which is that simply

359
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: something that you have seen so many times and that

360
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 1: you just kind of know the tempo of it, you

361
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: know when the scenes are coming up. And of course

362
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: that shit for me is Forrest fucking Coump exactly. I

363
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: was like, I've seen Forrest Gump probably like five hundred times.

364
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: That movie for me is So I Married an Axe Murderer.

365
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's I was just talking about this with

366
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: my nephew the other day because he was asking me

367
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: for film recommendations, and like, we were talking about movies.

368
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: And I was like, I don't know. We were talking

369
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: about how.

370
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 2: His girlfriend, his partner, had never seen Austin Powers and

371
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: so they rewatched it and she didn't get it at all.

372
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: She's like, this is not funny. And so we're talking

373
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: about how there are some movies that might not be great,

374
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: but they're comforting to you because you watched them at

375
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: a particular time when they were impactful. So you know,

376
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: he watched that when he was like eight years old

377
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: and he thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

378
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: So he will always love that movie. I will always

379
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: love So I Married an Axe Murderer because of the

380
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: poems and the jokes, and I haven't revisited it in

381
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: a long time, but I think it's it's very comforting

382
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: that I can just recite it and I know the

383
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: jokes that are coming up and they will still make

384
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: me laugh.

385
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Well, you're not on letterbox, which I keep telling you

386
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: you should be but I've fucking rewatched so I married

387
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: an ex urterer last night. Ah ah, and I haven't

388
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: seen it in a long time, and like it still hits.

389
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: It still hits in so many ways. The mom is

390
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: so good, she's so good. I wish the entire movie

391
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: was about his family, to be honest.

392
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: And Anthony Lapallia is so good.

393
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's such a great film. There's just stuff

394
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: that I forgot that happened so many times where he

395
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: just keeps the running joke is hello hell, and I'm.

396
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Like wow with a giant cup of coffee, Like, oh

397
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: my god, it's so the poems, the poem she was

398
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: a thief, You got a belief.

399
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: And it's like the thing that really warmed my heart

400
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: this time watching it was the simple idea that Alan

401
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: Arkin would care about his employee so much that he

402
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: would act like a nineteen seventies gruff police chief for him,

403
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: for his employee.

404
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: Beautiful, I've gotten watch it.

405
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 1: I was like, is he not the best boss of

406
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: all time?

407
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: Like?

408
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: What boss would do that further employee? I just it

409
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: was remarkable.

410
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: So and also we do have an episode where we

411
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: discussed two of our insane comfort movie watches, which I

412
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: think still holds up for me, Close Encounters of the Third.

413
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: Kind and Millie, all that jazz like all the jazz.

414
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, all that jazz is pretty insane. Yeah, now that

415
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, So.

416
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: Great question, a sue.

417
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 2: If anyone has maybe we can revisit this question and

418
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 2: keep thinking of ideas for you.

419
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: But absolutely fantastic. Don't recommend anything. Thank you for watching

420
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: the movies, Thank you for writing it.

421
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: All right, So it's my turn to read an email.

422
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: This one is a thought experiment, so I'm curious as

423
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: to what you'll say about it, Danielle. It's from Danny

424
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: and it reads, Hello, Millie and daniel I want to

425
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: start by saying that I'm such a huge admirer of

426
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: you both. I have read and loved both of your books,

427
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: and I look forward to hearing your voices each week.

428
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing parts of you with the rest of us.

429
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: The other day I was reading an article and I

430
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: learned about the director Derek Jarman. I am always interested

431
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: in consuming more content made by queer creators, so I

432
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: did some digging and I saw that many of his

433
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: films were on the Criterion Channel. I started watching one

434
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: of them, The Last of England, and found it challenging

435
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: to watch. I really want to consume and experience different

436
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: types of films, but this one felt inaccessible to me.

437
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: As much as I try to engage, I just felt lost.

438
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: So I guess my question is this, Is there a

439
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: secret to watching films that might be considered experimental or

440
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: is life just too short? And if a film feels tedious,

441
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe that is my clue to move on? Thanks Danny, Oh.

442
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: Danny, what a great question. What do you think?

443
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: So here's my take, because I've been in your shoes, Danny. Honestly,

444
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: First of all, I am a fan of Derek Jarman.

445
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: I love a lot of his films. I also love

446
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: Derek Jarman as a person, like his story with his

447
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: garden that he created, and I just so Derek Jarmon

448
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: is a and I love him. However, he does have

449
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: films that are really challenging. In fact, I feel like

450
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: The Last of England is less challenging than one of

451
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: his films that's just called Blue and it's literally just

452
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: a blue screen the entire film, no action, no people,

453
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: just the color blue for the length of the film.

454
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting here thinking about this question, going like, yeah,

455
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, sometimes movies are challenging and maybe too

456
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: challenging for people, and there is really no secret to

457
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: watching them. You just have to. I mean, sometimes it

458
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: might be a good idea to return to something that

459
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: you thought was just like not the move for you,

460
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: just to see if you have a new opinion about it.

461
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I kind of felt that way with a lot

462
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: of movies that I like now, Like there are movies

463
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: that when I first watched it I didn't like, and

464
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: then I came back and thought, oh, okay, now I

465
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: kind of see what this is all about. I would

466
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: think that a movie like Jian Dielman is one of

467
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: those films where people find it very challenging and people

468
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: are like, god, everybody loves this movie. I don't understand

469
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: why people what are they getting out of it? But

470
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: like I said, I think that it's kind of like

471
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: your results may vary. And I don't like the idea

472
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: that you should love a certain movie because it's like

473
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: what cinophiles would do, or like, you know, people like

474
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: this movie is genius and that you feel like you're

475
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: missing something. I don't think that you should feel like

476
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: you need to figure it out if you don't want to.

477
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: But I would say, you know, just to give something

478
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, maybe give it another whirl

479
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: if you didn't like it. But then there's just certain

480
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: things that are just gonna turn you off patently and

481
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: it's never gonna hit. It's just this, you know. To me,

482
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: like I said, it's not there is no secret to it.

483
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just like, yeah, if it's if

484
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: you can't figure it out, if it's too dense, if

485
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: it's too experimental, if it's too whatever, then it is

486
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: what it is.

487
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: As they say, Yeah, I agree.

488
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: I don't think movies should be punishment, and I agree

489
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: with you that there is no secret to experimental films.

490
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: I think that it's very much about the time and

491
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: the place that you watch it. And I think that

492
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: if there's something that drew you to wanting to watch

493
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: the film to begin with, maybe watch it again in

494
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: a few years, maybe try it again. But also I'm

495
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: a big fan of cut and run, Like I am

496
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: not sitting through something that is not hitting just for

497
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: the sake of it. So if you are starting an

498
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 2: experimental film and you're like, this isn't it for.

499
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 3: Me, turn it off, no harm, no foul, turn it off.

500
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: But I what was that last God, I can't remember

501
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: the name of it now, but there was a film

502
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: that Orson Wells released and or he never released, but

503
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: it was recently re released in theaters a few years ago.

504
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: Oh, the Other Side of what is it called.

505
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 3: The Other Side of the Wind? Fuck that movie?

506
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: Like, I tried so fucking hard and I was like,

507
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: on the other side of the Wind. I went with

508
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: a friend to the theater and it's like five fucking

509
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: hours long, and I was not feeling it at all

510
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: at all. And that's the last time I ever even

511
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 2: tried to watch something that I wasn't feeling.

512
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: I left. This isn't even an experimental film.

513
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: But I got about thirty minutes into The Irishman and

514
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: I saw that cgi they did on Robert de Niro's face,

515
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: and I was like, Nope, not for me.

516
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't have three hours for this. I can't do it.

517
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: And I actually I saw it in a theater with

518
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: a friend and purposefully took a nap.

519
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 3: I fell asleep. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, I can't do it.

520
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: Well and likes, as we're talking about this, I remembering

521
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: the time many years ago where one of the theaters

522
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta played the Cremaster Cycle. Oh have you

523
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: heard of those movies? The Matthew Hellity movies. And I

524
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: have two friends of mine, Stuart and Parks, who I love.

525
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: They're like my film snob friends. And they will go

526
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: and see like the most fucked up, you know, experimental

527
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: or challenging or content heavy films, like like they're the

528
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: ones I can count on to watch, like any ari

529
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: ast any you know Bars von Trier, like problematic fucked

530
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: up movie. Right. So they're like, oh god, the Crimeaster

531
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Cycle is coming, we gotta watch it. And I went

532
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: and saw so they played like them and you know,

533
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: obviously there's five of them. And I remember we went

534
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: to I think it was four and five. They just

535
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: it was a day they were only playing four and five.

536
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: And I was like when five happened, Like I watched

537
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: four and was like, hmmmm, this is not m and

538
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: then five, and by the time five came on, I

539
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: was like, I truly cannot. I was dissociating in the

540
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: movie theater, like I just it just wasn't something I

541
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: could grab onto. And I was like, yeah, I just

542
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: can't do it. And even though I just suggested that

543
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: you go back and try challenging movies again, I don't

544
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: think I'll ever come back to that. I just don't

545
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: think I can.

546
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that.

547
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: Like I again, if you try it and you're like

548
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: I can't, you don't have to come back to it.

549
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: Some things are they hit the first time and you're like,

550
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: this is absolutely not for me.

551
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Definitively, don't try it. Don't punish yourself.

552
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there was something that made it interesting to you,

553
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: like and again because you're looking at you know, Derek

554
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: Jarman specifically mentioned in your email, if there's something that

555
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: draws you to that creator, not all of their movies

556
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: are going to be for you, but.

557
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: Feel free to cut and run.

558
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 2: And then again, who knows, in ten years you might

559
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: watch the Last of England and love it. Yeah, So

560
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: just be nice to yourself. Definitely, don't push it. I

561
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: don't think there's a secret to it. I think it's

562
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: just some things just don't hit.

563
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but don't feel that pressure to feel like

564
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: you're missing something. I mean, sometimes it is just somebody's art,

565
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: somebody's thought experiment, and maybe it's just not for you

566
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: and you can't penetrate it, and that's totally fine.

567
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: So thanks for writing in Danny.

568
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Right aw this next one, I love it.

569
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: I love it. I fucking love it.

570
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: Subject of this is nineties high school bedroom walls, Hi,

571
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: Milli and Danielle. I recently showed my fifteen year old

572
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: daughter a picture of my bedroom from when I was

573
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 2: in high school in the nineties, and she couldn't believe

574
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: the amount of movie posters I had covering my walls.

575
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: I literally had wall to wall movie as the walls.

576
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Whether it was actual movie posters that I got from

577
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: our local video store you could request the posters that

578
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: they used in the stores once they were done with them,

579
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: or the hundreds of full page movie ads I got

580
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: from the many movie magazines I subscribed to. So my

581
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: question for you is were your bedroom walls also covered

582
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: in movie posters or were they covered with other things

583
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: like bands or tiger beat heartthrops?

584
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: You ladies are the best.

585
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your voice and perspective in

586
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: this noisy world. Diane, she her pronouns, So.

587
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: What is what is your take on this?

588
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: I wish I had a fucking picture of my high

589
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: school bedroom I wish I had a picture. We didn't

590
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: take a lot of pictures.

591
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: Back then, but I wish I did my walls, which

592
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: by the way, were wood paneling in the apartment I

593
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: grew up with my in the duplex I grew up

594
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: in with my grandparents. I covered those things from top

595
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: to bottom. My grandmother rarely came in my room because

596
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: she could not stand to look at all the shit

597
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: I put up on my walls. Particularly, I had a

598
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 2: led Zeppelin poster where Robert Plant is kind of like

599
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 2: reaching his arm out and it kind of reaches out

600
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: of the.

601
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: Scope of the.

602
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 2: Poster itself, and his pants are so tight, and She's like,

603
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: I'm not coming in this room and looking at that

604
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: man's dick.

605
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: She put her foot down about the dick.

606
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Grandma's not looking. Grandma doesn't want to see

607
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 2: a dick. Fair enough, she's aged out. But I had

608
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: I had movie posters more when I was in my

609
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: early twenties because I worked in a mall and they

610
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: would change out the posters in the kiosks, and I

611
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: would always ask for them. And growing up, I definitely

612
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: had a lot of Tiger beat Heart Throb type photos.

613
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: Your River Phoenix's you Know your your weirdo heart throbs,

614
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: a lot from SaaS magazine, a lot of Sassy Magazine pullouts.

615
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: But I kind of did a weird thing because I

616
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: would also paint a lot. So I painted all these

617
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 2: weird shapes and shit on my walls. I painted my

618
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: whole closet. I had like an armoir that I covered

619
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: in colorful art, and then when I started getting really depressed,

620
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: I just painted it black. It was very sad and

621
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: like my friends would come over and sign it, and

622
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: then I just painted over it.

623
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 3: Which I regret. But I did a really weird thing

624
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: when I was in high school. I think I've talked

625
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: about it on the pod before, but I would track

626
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: directors like this is pre internet, So I would track

627
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: directors in the most insane outline you've ever seen, and

628
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,240
Speaker 3: it stretched across. I would write it on the actual

629
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: posters that I had on my walls.

630
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: So at one point I had a Clinton Gore poster

631
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 2: because I was like very politically active high school student,

632
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 2: and after they won, I kept the poster up, but

633
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: I started marking down like Mark Romantic directed this music video,

634
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: directed these films, directed this, like I kept my own list,

635
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 2: and then I would draw a line to like, oh,

636
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: here's an actor that he worked with in this movie.

637
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 2: And I would draw a line from Marker Mannic to

638
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 2: like Robin Williams and he worked with.

639
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: This director and blah blah blah. So I had this

640
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: truly mentally insane grid that stretched across two walls in

641
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 3: my bedroom that was just me tracking film directors.

642
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, that's amazing. Actually, I know a couple of

643
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: friends that did stuff like that, that would like write

644
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: down directors that they would write down like do their

645
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: own film reviews or something like that, like all of

646
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I don't know if we've

647
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: ever actually talked about this, but you know, I also

648
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: painted my bedroom too, like with words and oh my god.

649
00:35:55,200 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: So to answer this question properly, I actually did not

650
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of movie posters up in my teenage

651
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: bedroom because I don't know why. I just don't think

652
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: I had access to posters, like I was probably unsure

653
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: of how to actually get them beyond like maybe going

654
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: to Spencer's or something. And yeah, the only one I

655
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: probably would have put in my bedroom at the time

656
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: was probably like Reservoir Dogs or something like. I don't know.

657
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: I did have a train spotting poster that I got

658
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: from Spencer's which was just all of them lined up

659
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: in a mug shut.

660
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if I had access to like a

661
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: Cutting Edge poster or like a Memphis Bell poster, sure

662
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: I would have definitely put that shit on my wall

663
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: or like any SNL comedy, like a Wayne's World poster

664
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: or something like that. But at the time, I just

665
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: didn't know where to get them. Yeah, And then I

666
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: think for me, my thing was I liked music a

667
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: whole lot, but I also didn't really have a lot

668
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: of movie or music posters. So what happened is that

669
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: I started out very small, and I used like this

670
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: craft hobby paint and painted like the nine inch Nails

671
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: logo or something over on the wall, and then was

672
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: kind of testing the water seeing if my parents would

673
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: would freak out if I had painted, And then I

674
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: eventually kind of started getting growing bigger and bigger, and

675
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: I was listen, I was such a loser. I mean,

676
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: you want to talk about Mike Myers's character, and so

677
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: I married an ex murderer, being like a faux beat

678
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: nick guy. That was me. So I had like would

679
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: would would like write out like Carouac quotes, and then

680
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: I had just like bullshit on the wall, like against

681
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: animal testing or whatever. The body shop was, you know,

682
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: like it was so so dorky, so dorky. So I

683
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: was just like a like I wanted to be like

684
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: whatever I wanted to write like poems and quotes and

685
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: then artwork of the era and stuff. So it was

686
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: just like some bullshit kind of hippie and it ended

687
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: up like I ended up starting small, but then the

688
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: whole room got taken over it and every time I

689
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: kept thinking my parents are gonna ground me, they just

690
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: never did. And I found out much later that my

691
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: dad and mom were like, oh, we like, let you

692
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: have that for like six months, and then we waited

693
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: for it to get it all out of your system.

694
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: And then we painted that shit and it took forever.

695
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: It took like four coats of primer. But I appreciate

696
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: that they let me do it, you know what I mean.

697
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: Yuh So, yeah, they were very I mean, my parents

698
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: are great. I have a really good relationship with them.

699
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: But the more and more I have asked over the

700
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: years about like what was it like to be my parent,

701
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: they were like Oh, we just let you do your

702
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: dumb ass thing until you got sick of it.

703
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: It was like watching someone in captivity.

704
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: Yes, they're like, we knew that if we sat we

705
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: shut it down very fast, that you would rebel. So

706
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: if you and your sister just like got sick of

707
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: yourselves and fell on her own swords, good, It's less

708
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: work for us. So it was that kind of parenting style,

709
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: which I very much appreciate. But yeah, so that was

710
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: kind of my bedroom. And then I would would cut out,

711
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: of course, cut out photos of like haughtie guys from Sassy,

712
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: so like I had I remember there was that article

713
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: in Sassy magazine about Jude Law, like when when Jude

714
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: Law first came on the scene, like he was like

715
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: a like he had like bleach blonde hair or something,

716
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: and they were like, who's this new cute boy on

717
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: the scene. It's Jude Law. I cut his around his head,

718
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, and then just took the head and taped

719
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: it to the wall.

720
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 2: Jude Law's Floating Head is the title of this episode.

721
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: But but I was also in the zines, so I

722
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: was used to create like cutting pictures out of magazines

723
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: and like, and then I would also do shit like

724
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: I would take episodes of the weekly World News speaking

725
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: of so I married Exemurder and cut like stupid headlines

726
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: out and just like tape them to the wall. It

727
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: was like a fucking record store. And I guess basically

728
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: my bedroom was like a city record store filled with

729
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: ephemeron bullshit.

730
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 3: Same, same, just thrift store shit that I would find.

731
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 3: I had an I bought an old.

732
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: Hat box at one point, and I would cut out

733
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: my favorite classified ads from like the Village Voice or

734
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 2: my local newspaper, and so there'd be all these little

735
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 2: like rectangles of weird in information or like, you know,

736
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: people trying to find love, and I would put them

737
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: like glue them into the top of the hat box.

738
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it.

739
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: Would always make me laugh whenever I opened it up,

740
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 3: or whenever I found one that I wanted to save.

741
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of cutting out, a lot of

742
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: floating heads, a lot of music, a lot of painting,

743
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: a lot of painting, a lot of painting, and a

744
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 3: lot of our parents just politely ignoring us and hoping

745
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 3: we would just get over it. And we did.

746
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, Yeah, I know. And it's only now that

747
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: I really have movie posters, and now I have like

748
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: tasteful framed movie posters in my house. Yeah, but when

749
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: I was a teenager it was it was pretty much

750
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: Jude Law's floating head essentially.

751
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 3: So oh love it. Great question, Dane, Great question.

752
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: This next one is funny. This is from Maggie. She

753
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: her pronouns. The title of it is called Tight nineties. Hey, ladies,

754
00:41:54,600 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: I love you, Let's get into it. That's a great opening.

755
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: I live with my girlfriend and our close friend and

756
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: we try to consistently do movie nights together. Most of

757
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: our picks are fun, ridiculous, terrible, but also maybe incredible rides.

758
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: Some of our faves have been Double Jeopardy from nineteen

759
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: ninety nine, The River Wild from nineteen ninety four, and

760
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: and I saw pod fave Dante's Peak from nineteen ninety seven.

761
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: As we search through stream of movies, we consistently use

762
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: one descriptor to look for a tight ninety movies that

763
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: hit around ninety minutes or less and take zero time

764
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: getting straight into the action slash plot. Do you guys

765
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: have any tight ninety recommendations for movie nights with three

766
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: thrill seeking thirty somethings love the pod, Love everything that

767
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: you do, Maggie.

768
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: Maggie, such a great email, such a great question. I

769
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: definitely have a couple of answers that come right to mind.

770
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 3: One that we've actually covered on the pod Attacked the Block,

771
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 3: which I think is eighty nine minutes maybe ninety and

772
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: Attack the Block is furiously like you're just into the

773
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 3: plot immediately.

774
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 2: It's such a great film. Also, weirdly, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Yeah,

775
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 2: is the tight ninety A little thrill seeking for that.

776
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: And this is also weirdly one of another one of

777
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: my comfort movie watches. From the first email we read,

778
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 2: I think swamp Thing is a tight ninety.

779
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: Oo.

780
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: I could be wrong on that one, but I think

781
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: swamp Thing is a tight ninety. So those would be

782
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: my off the dome picks.

783
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: That is really great. Actually, I love I love Attack

784
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: the Block, No wonder that movies so fucking good. It's

785
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: like ninety minutes. Wow, they really attack it a lot.

786
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: And they do such a great story so much with

787
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: the story for ninety minutes.

788
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: They really do good job.

789
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: Well to that point, I think I feel like Commando

790
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 1: is ninety minutes, oh, which I mean that's that's because

791
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: Mark Lester is a fucking boss. Like he was like,

792
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: we don't need this movie to make to be more

793
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: than an hour.

794
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 3: And a half.

795
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: He's like, we need to get we need to get

796
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: a light pegging scene, the mall action, and then we're out.

797
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: It's like right at an hour thirty, which is which

798
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: is something that I appreciate. Now, I want to say this,

799
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: there's another movie that's under an hour and thirty, a

800
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: tight ninety, under a tight ninety that is NonStop thrills,

801
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: and that movie is Crank. Yeah, Crank is an hour

802
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: and twenty three minutes that I mean is kind of amazing.

803
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: That is truly incredible.

804
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels long as shit, but maybe it's because

805
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: you just want it to be longer. But really it's

806
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty short. Like packing a lot in that movie, as.

807
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 3: You know, Oh my oh.

808
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 2: We have discussed it on the pod and they're like,

809
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: we need an underwater scene, we need to blow some

810
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 2: shit up, we need some grease fighting and a fucking garage.

811
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: We need just get these action scenes in. Yeah, and

812
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 2: we'll build the story around it.

813
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I mean, I feel like any of those

814
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: movies that we've just suggested are good choices, especially if

815
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: you're kind of in that like Dante's Peak, River Wild

816
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: sort of vein. But yeah, I feel you know what,

817
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: I will say this, And this is not like a

818
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: hard and fast rule, and maybe this isn't completely obvious

819
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 1: to people necessarily, but I feel like, if you're gonna

820
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: watch a movie and you are looking at the cast

821
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: list and the director, listen and he realized that the

822
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: director has been an exploitation director at any point in

823
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: their career, ah, they know how to pack it in.

824
00:45:54,200 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: Like I gotta say, like exploitation directors have worked under

825
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: conditions where they had to make really insane movies and

826
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: very short amounts of time and there, and so a

827
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: lot of times their run times are like fucking insane.

828
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Like it's like a seventy five minute, you know, a

829
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: heist movie or like a ninety minute you know, action

830
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: movie that takes place in like four different countries. Like

831
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: it's like they're really good at that. So I would

832
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: just say if you if if you are looking for

833
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: something under ninety minutes that's really exciting, just just double

834
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: check and see if that director has ever made exploitation movies.

835
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,479
Speaker 1: I think I think you'll be good.

836
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: So I think with caged heat. Under ninety minutes.

837
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 1: It should have been. I can't imagine it not being

838
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: under ninety minutes. It was, yeah, eighty three minutes, eighty

839
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: minutes and shame, no disrespect to my fucking man, Jonathan Demi,

840
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: but if you shaved about five minutes off that I

841
00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: would have been Okay.

842
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 3: I mean, fine, you can.

843
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: They gotta come in at seventy seventy eight minutes. Seventy

844
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: five minutes, dude, all right with it?

845
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's the thing too for me, is that

846
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: I think it's because I used to program old movies,

847
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: and a lot of times old movies. I mean, this

848
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: shit was like seventy five minutes, Like a tight seventy

849
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: five is kind of my vibe. If you could make

850
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 1: a movie in an hour and fifteen minutes, like you're

851
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: you're cooking, is what I'm saying.

852
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 2: So there are some stories and some narratives that are

853
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: better served by the tight ninety or by the tight

854
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: hour and ten minutes. Yes, and it's again a remarkable

855
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 2: feat of storytelling that could also be a weird challenge.

856
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: To yourself as a filmmaker.

857
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: But I do think there are some films that you're

858
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 2: like all right, Dogville, I see why this needs to

859
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: be nearly three hours long. Then there are other movies

860
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: where you're like, this could have been an hour and

861
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 2: a half shorter and I would have been fine.

862
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to me, I started getting cranky about

863
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: this runtime shit when I would watch like the Joon

864
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: Apatow movies and I'm kind of gone, why is this

865
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: a two hour comedy? Like some of these jokes could

866
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: have been trimmed, you know, Like it's not there's not

867
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: really a ton of plot that needs all this explanation.

868
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: It's just really like comedians and comic actors riffing. Yeah,

869
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: and that's why the movie is so long. And I'm

870
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: just like, yo, that's a good part though.

871
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 2: Like people who are just in love with their own

872
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 2: ideas so much that they can't get rid of any

873
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: of them.

874
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 3: That's dangerous as a storyteller.

875
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: I think, I think you have to be able to

876
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: you have to be willing to get rid of some stuff,

877
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: especially in a day and age where we have DVD's,

878
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: physical media, YouTube. You could put all that shit on

879
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 2: a bonus or like put it in an extras and

880
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: let people see how funny you are. But yeah, I

881
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: think the question needs to be asked more of like

882
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 2: does it serve the film And a lot of a

883
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 2: lot of movies could be cut for time that have

884
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: been released recently and I would have been fine with it.

885
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: Well, And it's funny because I was thinking about this too,

886
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: like a long time ago, about you know, TV versions

887
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: of films, and as you know, like a lot of

888
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 1: times for TV, you know, movies are cut for time,

889
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: they're cut for content. You know, they're they're in the

890
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: wrong aspect ratio sometimes, but also like you know, because

891
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: of broadcasting parameters, you know, sometimes you can't have like

892
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: a two hour and twelve minute movie. Something's got to

893
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: go type of thing. And as much as I am

894
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: definitely into respecting like a director's vision and putting the

895
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: most complete shit out there, I think it's because I

896
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: grew up in such a TV era for film that

897
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm like, oh, I mean in some cases, like

898
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: I only know the TV edited version, like for sixteen Candles,

899
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: Like I remember seeing that movie outside of television for

900
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: the first time and going, oh, this movie is actually

901
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: a way longer and has a lot more things that

902
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: I never knew because I've only seen it on TV.

903
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, and sometimes I'm not saying sixteen cattles,

904
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: but sometimes with certain films, I almost prefer the TV

905
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: version because it does it does make them leaner and meaner.

906
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,399
Speaker 1: And I'm mostly talking about modern comedies.

907
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Jesus, Yeah, I'm with you. Oh such a

908
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 3: good question, Maggie. Oh, such a good question.

909
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: And I hope you have a good you have good

910
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 2: movie nights with your girlfriend and your housemeat.

911
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 3: But that was a great question.

912
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Meggie.

913
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 3: Last one right, Yeah, I'm gonna read it though.

914
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: Okay, cool.

915
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: So the email subject is I saw mail bag you. Hey,

916
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: I love you too. In this podcast so much it

917
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 2: hurts my feelings. I was wondering what both of your

918
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 2: collections of physical media look like. It's so frustrating when

919
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: I can't find something on streaming. It's like it doesn't

920
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 2: even exist, and I conjured up a false memory of

921
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 2: it in a fever dream. I'm torn between wanting to

922
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 2: declutter and get rid of DVDs taking up entire bookshelves

923
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 2: in my house, and not wanting to lose this stuff forever.

924
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 2: Are we minimalist queens or hoarders? And are you the

925
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 2: type of people to display it with coordinating little toys

926
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: as house decor. I'm thinking of a specific adult man

927
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: child with superhero figurines slash Funko pop dolls, like here's

928
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 2: a tiny Molly Ringwalld next to the breakfast club. I

929
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: am lightly bitchy about them, but I might adjust my

930
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 2: hater ass attitude if that's your thing. I promise please

931
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 2: never stop giving us the gift of your personalities via

932
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 2: this pod. Courtney who uses she her pronouns Courtney, do

933
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 2: not ever adjust your hater ass attitude with us.

934
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 3: We welcome it.

935
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: I I'm not in a toys I'm just gonna say

936
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: that right now. I'm not in a toys I'm a

937
00:51:51,880 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: grown woman. I have tasteful collections of statuary and her things,

938
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: but I don't have toys.

939
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 3: I cannot say the same thing. I don't have a

940
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 3: lot of toys. I don't.

941
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of toys. But I do

942
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: have my grandmother's curio cabinet in my house. So there

943
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: is a glass cabinet with all of her like teacups

944
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 2: and Jesus figurines. But I also got her a walking

945
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: Dead Funko pop zombie doll at one point that she

946
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 2: put right next to her Jesus' and her Jesus figurines

947
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 2: are segregated by color, so there's the black Jesus shelf

948
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 2: and on the white Jesus shelf, and the Funko Pop

949
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 2: doll is black. So she put this zombie ass doll

950
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 2: on the black Jesus shelf. And then I I'm not

951
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 2: into toys, but I weirdly the last two times I've

952
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: been in Columbus, Ohio, there's a great store that sells

953
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 2: a lot of old toys and figurines, and I kind

954
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: of have a habit now of when I go there

955
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: of buying old eighties wrestling figurines.

956
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 3: So I have a Junkyard dog and a Coco be Ware.

957
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 3: But those are the only toys. And actually that's not

958
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 3: the only toys. Oh my god, I really am that person.

959
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 2: I have a tiny spinning tartis a dark doctor who

960
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 2: tartis that if you like pull it back, it'll like

961
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 2: spin as it propels itself forward. I guess I'm a

962
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 2: toy having bitch, But they are not on display next

963
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: to my physical media.

964
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and as I say this, I'm now looking

965
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: at the shelf behind me. And I realize that there's

966
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: a VW bus made by Playmobile. Ah, but that but

967
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: that is really for my nephews. So this, this room

968
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: that I'm in is usually where my nephews stay when

969
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: they come to my house, right, and you know, I

970
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: have a toy for them if they want to play

971
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: with it. I have a toy.

972
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: If one tasteful toy.

973
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: One tasteful toy and there, and even the toy that's

974
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: on there is something that they don't want to play

975
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: with because they're like, why the fuck do we care

976
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: about a VW bus?

977
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 3: What even is this thing? The fuck even is this thing?

978
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: But I do.

979
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: I do have physical media, and I actually don't have

980
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 2: a lot of it on display. I have a cabinet

981
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 2: that my TV sits on essentially, and it has drawers

982
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: and shelves underneath it with doors, so I keep all

983
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: of my DVDs in there and it kind of helps

984
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 2: me to keep them organized so I can see them,

985
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: but then not also have them out on the shelf

986
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 2: as part of the deckhor because that is not something

987
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 2: that I want to do. I've kind of a sparse,

988
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: minimalist sort of aesthetic and so not Actually no, I

989
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: have more of like a homey aesthetic, like a home

990
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: down like hosey aesthetic. So it just doesn't jive for

991
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: me to always have them out. But they're easily accessible

992
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 2: and they're right under the DVD player, So that's kind

993
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: of how I tend to do it.

994
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:01,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and quite honestly, Courtney like, I have made the

995
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: executive decision to display the DVDs because here's the thing.

996
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: For many years, you know, I think maybe ten fifteen

997
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: years ago, I was I had a few DVDs, but

998
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't like collecting them as much as I used to.

999
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: Then with the streaming and of streaming, I started to realize,

1000
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: of course, I think now which is in full scope,

1001
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: which is that the streaming services ain't doing shit for us.

1002
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: They're not putting things out there, and uh they take

1003
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: them away just as quickly as they put them up.

1004
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: And you gotta collect physical media if you want.

1005
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 3: To keep stuff.

1006
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: And so I started buying DVDs again a few years ago.

1007
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: But I also had DVDs you know, sent to me

1008
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 1: over the years because I'm a programmer. So I was

1009
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 1: creating a collection and I have so many of them

1010
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: now that I was like, I need to buy a shelf. Again.

1011
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm back to where I started, which is that I'm

1012
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to display this somehow because I don't

1013
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 1: know where else to put them. And so I bought

1014
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: a shelf and maybe I'll take a picture of it,

1015
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: put it on the put it on the Instagram stories

1016
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: or something. But I don't know. It is not like

1017
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: to me, especially people like us who have like esthetically

1018
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: minded types of thoughts about our homes. I won't say

1019
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: that I super love the vibe of displaying DVD's. I've

1020
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 1: tried to do it in a way that is as

1021
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: not high school boy as possible.

1022
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 3: I'm telling you a tasteful cabinet.

1023
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really we were talking about this before we

1024
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: started recording today. But I really want to at some

1025
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: point get custom shelves made for my house. But right

1026
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 1: now they're just kind of kind of on a shelf

1027
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: and a blonde wood shelf, and for right now, that's

1028
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: how they're gonna be. But yes, it's it's always a conundrum. Yeah,

1029
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, because I again, like I

1030
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: spent many years sort of like having DVDs and CDs everywhere,

1031
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 1: and I just felt like, wow, I've grown past that,

1032
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: but then now I'm kind of back to it, so

1033
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: it's a little well.

1034
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 2: I also, I mean I will hit up a Criterion

1035
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 2: sale every time, whether I'm buying one film or ten,

1036
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: But I think that.

1037
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 3: That also helps me.

1038
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 2: Like I think it's I think you should have physical media,

1039
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 2: but I think you should manage it. So for me,

1040
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 2: I tend to only have DVDs and buy DVDs of

1041
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 2: things that I know I will want to watch again

1042
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 2: and again, or things that I know I will want

1043
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: other people to see. So I will whittleshit down and

1044
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: be like, all right, like I like this movie, but

1045
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: it's not crucial that I have it at my fingertips,

1046
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 2: and that it helps kind of manage it a little bit.

1047
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, you should have physical media, And like, I

1048
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: don't think you have to choose between being a minimalist

1049
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 2: queen or a hoarder. I think you should just have

1050
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 2: what you like, and if you don't like the way

1051
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: it looks with the with the actual aesthetic of your home,

1052
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 2: then buy a cabinet or by you know what, also

1053
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 2: works really well, which could also be a fun craft project.

1054
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 2: Buy an old dresser at a thrift store and throw

1055
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: them in there, like, use it as yeah, use it

1056
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: as a credenza, paint it whatever you want, throw some

1057
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 2: new legs on it, use the drawers to hold all

1058
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 2: your stuff so that it's like, you know, you could

1059
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: put fun functional shit on the top of it, but

1060
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 2: then inside of the drawers is all your DVDs.

1061
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: Or like a nice little barrister bookcase that would be

1062
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: really cute.

1063
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah.

1064
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: It's it's I'm with you. I I only buy at

1065
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: this point DVDs that are either totally at a print

1066
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: or are kind of like special edition stuff like the

1067
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: nicely packaged kind of indicator Viniger Syndrome type of things.

1068
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: So I don't have a super massive collection, but I

1069
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: definitely have like all the Criterion stuff. So it's it's tasteful.

1070
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: It's tasteful, but it also requires shelving, so you know.

1071
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a great question. Thanks for writing in.

1072
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 3: It's a Courtney. Yeah, get yourself a craft project, find

1073
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 3: a credenza or an old dresser, sand it, paint it,

1074
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: stain it, do whatever you want. Three DVD's in.
