1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Hey, Casey, what's up Millie?

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 2: Not much? How are you good?

3
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: How's your Valentine's Day?

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: Ooh you got me? I got you already, I got

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: my assh. So it was great because I kind of

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: planned a little something, a little special. So there is

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: a special event. I don't know if you've ever heard

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: of this movie. It's called Snow and it's from nineteen

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: ninety eight, and it's an indie kind of romance, kind

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: of like a before Sunset style movie. And it's made

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: by a filmmaker named Eric Tretbarr and it was filmed

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis. It's a very like Minneapolis movie. And it

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: premiered on the new Sundance Channel when back in like

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: around nineteen ninety eight, when like the Sundance Channel was around,

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: they started premiering like indies on there. Oh, and this

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: was kind of early on in that, and so it

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: was kind of a big deal. So like Redford came

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: to the Twin Cities for the premiere and it kind

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: of got This movie kind of got lost to time

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. It never really had a release, it

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: was never in theaters. It was on the Sundance Channel though,

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: and so they did a re scanning of it, like

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: a four K re scan recently, and so they did

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: a twenty fifth anniversary screening of the movie in Minneapolis

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: at the Parkway Theater. The director was there and there

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: was act the actors from the movie are there, and

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: it was like this amazing event and I just like,

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: there aren't that many like indie I like finding like

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: the indie films that were like made in Minneapolis, and

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: it was just like a really cool experience. And it's

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: like a very kind of like it's the Eric Trepptbar.

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: He's kind of from the punk scene in the nineties,

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: and so it had like a lot of it's a

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: lot of like musicians that are in the movie, and

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: it was like really cute and charming and and you know,

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: it reminded me just of like a little bit of

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: like the optimism of the nineties, and it was just

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: kind of it's kind of twee, but like really good.

39
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was just like really impressed by the

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: whole thing. And it was like this really cool event

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: at the Parkway Theater. And right next to the Parkway

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: Theater is this place called the Creekside Supper Club. I

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: won't get into what a Midwestern supper club is if

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: you don't know what that is, but it is a

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 2: specific type of restaurant. A lot of them are in Wisconsin,

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: but they're a lot in Minnesota too, And it's kind

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: of like a steakhouse, but it's a little more like

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: a choch key kind of quirky type of steakhouse. I

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: don't know how else to explain it. There's sort of

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: a tradition of this type of steakhouse in the Midwest.

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: And so we had dinner next door to this the theater,

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: and we went to this gala and it was very

53
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: romantic and I really crushed it.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: I really lovely, lovely, case.

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, thank you. How is your Valentine's Day?

56
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you. I went to see the Emerald

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Finelle film quote Weathering Heights, end quotes.

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: I don't like that it's in quotations. I noticed that too.

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: Well. I've seen an interview where she talks about why

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: she did it that way. It's basically like absolving her

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: from being faithful to the original book, which I'm like,

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: well played, I get it. So I'm not sure if

63
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: you know this, Casey, but the nineteen thirty nine version

64
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: of Weathering Heights, of course, the film adaptation based on

65
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: the Emily Bronte novel. It stars Sir Lawrence Olivier and

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Merle Oberon. Fucking love that movie destroys my ass. Like

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: I've seen it, like it'll come on TV once in

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: a while, like on TCM or something, and I just

69
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: ball like at the end of that movie, I am

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: my fucking eyes out, and I just love the feeling

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: of the like kind of gothic romance and the whole

72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: like and oh my god, it's crazy. So quite obviously,

73
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I got to watch this remake.

74
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: And if you look at the poster, the poster of it,

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: and this is the one that's like it's like on

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: a white background, is so crazy looking. It kind of

77
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: looks like a it's either like a hammer movie or

78
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: some like bad eighties like made for TV movie, And

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm like really really obsessed with it.

80
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: I don't know, Millie, you have really tapped into something here,

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: because I've seen that trailer a lot lately in the

82
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: theaters and I'm like, damn, I want to see this movie.

83
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: That looks incredible, like the style that she has chosen

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: for this movie. It reminds me of like kind of

85
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: eighties gothic movies like the Company of Wolves if you

86
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: ever seen that movie, where it's like very clearly on

87
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: a set, but like dramatic and kind of like gauzy

88
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: filters on the camera. I don't know, there's something about

89
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: it that I really like, the visual direction of the movie.

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, it looks like you, oh my god, it

91
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: looks like a bad Dracula movie or something.

92
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: You're just like, it's like dark shadows as kind of.

93
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Yes, So listen. I I was like, you nailed it

94
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: on the design. I'm like, I don't know what happened here,

95
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: but you got me. And on top of that being

96
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: it's a wathering heights well excuse me a quote wathering

97
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: heights end quote adaptation. So I saw that. I will

98
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: not reveal anything more than that because I feel like

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to maybe do a longer

100
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: piece about it, if you know what I'm saying, do

101
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: on the show. Maybe maybe, But I'm just telling you

102
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: I saw it, and cool. Yeah that's what I did

103
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: for Valentine's Day? Isn't it perfect for Valentine?

104
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: Very perfect, very perfect.

105
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: Well, on that note, let's talk a little bit about February,

106
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: largely because we are doing an episode that is a

107
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: celebration of Black History months.

108
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: Yes, we are, and we're doing.

109
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: A movie that. Well, it's timely because this director has

110
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: a new movie coming out.

111
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: I know, I just saw the trailer. Looks great, looks.

112
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Great, and it had been a minute really since or

113
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: did he do a movie before this?

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: It was called he had a TV show like a

115
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: kind of a short. I don't know what do you

116
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: call that, like a mini series? I guess yeah. It

117
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: was called like I'm a Virgo, okay, and it's like

118
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: with a giant. It looked interesting. I just never saw it.

119
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean neither. But but this movie that we're

120
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: doing this week, which is twenty eight teams Sorry to

121
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Bother You, directed by the filmmaker Boots Raley, that this

122
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: movie was that I would say, I will say it

123
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: was a sensation when it came out. I knew a

124
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: lot of people that love this movie, including my blow

125
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: my hair back, and we wanted to revisit it because, well,

126
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: namely one because Boots is a new movie coming out,

127
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: but second sort of just going back and we watching

128
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: something that it didn't come out that long ago. It's

129
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: been what nine years? Eight years?

130
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, it's been eight years, Oh my god.

131
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And so that's probably going to be a large part

132
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: of the episode, is talking about just you know, having

133
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: seen it again in our thoughts, but also just wanting

134
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: to celebrate black creatives, black filmmakers, black artists as you

135
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: do this month. And I was actually curious, Casey, like,

136
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: what is your opinion about the current statewide here's a bit.

137
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Why don't I just ask you this big question? What

138
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: is your opinion on the current state of filmmakers as

139
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: it relates to black filmmakers.

140
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me just have an answer, a nice tidy,

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: twenty second sound by the answer here. You know, like

142
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: all filmmakers, I think it's really difficult for creative ideas

143
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: to get into movies, especially ones with budgets. Yeah, and

144
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: I think black filmmakers have to deal with that, But

145
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: they also have to deal with a lot of other

146
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: social issues. And I think some of these studios are like, well,

147
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: we want the black filmmaker to make a movie about

148
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: how difficult it is to be a black person, And

149
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: maybe black filmmakers don't always want to make a movie

150
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: about the struggle and I'm not saying that Sorry About

151
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: You isn't about the struggle, but it is an insanely

152
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: creative film that feels so unique in that it was

153
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: allowed to get made. You know, it's not a somber,

154
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: you know, three and a half hour epic about the

155
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: slave trade. You know, it is a vibrant, loud, confident,

156
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: visually stunning, creative, goofy movie that is really unique and

157
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: so and I think we've seen a lot of black

158
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 2: filmmakers lately be the ones who are making more creative,

159
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: interesting films lately. I think of people like Ryan Kugler,

160
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: Jordan Peel, Nia DaCosta just directed twenty eight years later

161
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: The Bone Temple, which I'll talk about more because I

162
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: sawt this week, and I just I think it's black

163
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: filmmakers are doing such incredible work right now and they

164
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: should be celebrated. And they're doing some of the most

165
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: unique work out there right now. So a lot does

166
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: that cover somewhat of what you.

167
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: You did it? I I you know, personally, I think

168
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: it's amazing that Sinners, the Ryan Coogler film that came

169
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: out last year, is has the most nominations this year

170
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: at the Oscars. That'll be interesting to see how that

171
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: plays out, to be honest, because of the Golden Globes,

172
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: it was kind of interesting. I mean that movie was

173
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: nominated a lot, but it didn't win a lot, and

174
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: I just was kind of like, hmmmfully hopefully that's It's

175
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: weird because sometimes, you know, the Golden Globes and the

176
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Oscars like really sync up, and sometimes they totally don't.

177
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens.

178
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: But this also happens with movies. Sometimes at the Oscars.

179
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: They'll be like a movie that gets nominated for like

180
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: ten Academy Awards, but it's not necessarily the front runner

181
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: and it loses like all of them. Yeah, Like that

182
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: happens a lot, so I'm kind of worried that's going

183
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: to happen. It certainly deserves Oscars, but I'm like, you know,

184
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: when I think about like the Best Picture of the

185
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: Year or like the Best Actors of the Year, there

186
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: are some I would put above sinners, but it has

187
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: to win something, you know. But I just don't know

188
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: if it's gonna like just because it was nominated for

189
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 2: that many Oscars, I don't think that necessarily means it's

190
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: going to like win that many.

191
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, So as a filmmaker, would you rather be

192
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: nominated a ship Ton and not win or would you

193
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: rather be nominated once and win? No, it doesn't make

194
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: any sense, doesn't you won? That's what you want, right.

195
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 2: I would want Yeah, I'd want to I'd want to win, definitely.

196
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting too because like just a few

197
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: years ago, a movie like Sinners wouldn't have gotten nominated

198
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: at all because it is a genre picture exactly, that's

199
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: what empires. So like I root for it in that

200
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: regard as well, because I like when like genre movies

201
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: like uh win the top honor, you know, but it's

202
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: been happening more often lately, so kind of cool.

203
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, shit substance and whatever, like it's.

204
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: That got nominated. Yeah, I mean that was sort of surprising.

205
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: It kind of wants to be too, but you know what,

206
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: like I'm here for it. I'm like, let's put some

207
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: fucked up ship in these Oscar ballots'.

208
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: But so, but I feel like Sinners though, just to

209
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: touch upon that, I feel like it such an event

210
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: film this year. I feel like people really went to

211
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: the theaters multiple times to see it. I think it

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: is like pure cinema. It's an original, interesting idea that

213
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: has a big budget and we just don't get to

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: see that, you know. So uh yeah, well interesting, interesting time.

215
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome talking about Sorry to Bother You.

216
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: We are going to do a little bit of that.

217
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: What else are we doing this episode?

218
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna answer some emails. We got some good emails.

219
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: There's some grapes, groups and grits, and there's some film advice,

220
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: so we'll touch upon both. Great.

Speaker 2: I had to guess, well, no shit slock of course.

301
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: So my movie I mentioned it already. I saw twenty

Speaker 2: eight years Later The Bone Dimple. This movie ripped. It

303
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: was awesome. I thought it was great. I loved twenty

304
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: eight years Later, which came out last year. And that

305
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,160

00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: DaCosta directed this latest one, and she's an amazing director.

307

Speaker 2: the only guest that asked for a hug. I just

310
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: remember that, and I was like, oh, okay, sure, I

311
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: love it, And she was really cool. So I cheer

312
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 2: for her always. And yeah, I thought this was awesome.

313
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: It's the most violent and the most scary of the

314
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: twenty eight zombie movie franchise. I would say it is gnarly,

315
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: and it's really good and sweet. And I thought it

316
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: was awesome. It's awesome, and I mean, I love zombie movies,

317
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: so does my wife. But it's hard to make. There's

318
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure to make a good movie when

319
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: you're the like, you know, Danny Boyle has directed the

320
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: last one, and then you're expected to just pick up

321
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: the sequel the next year and have it be good.

322
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: So I that was great.

323
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: Great. It feels like you've been watching a lot of

324
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: bone blank movies lately, Is that true?

325
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: That's true. I watched bone Lake was that last week?

326
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: Something like that recently.

327
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm watching a lot of Bone movies. What am

328
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: I gonna watch next? Monkey Bone with Brendan Frasier. That's

329
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: a movie, right, it's a movie. I've never seen it

330
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: better or for worse? Uh, MILLI, what do you got?

331
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. I was like Cruise in the

332
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: old Criterion channel, and I noticed that they had Elaine

333
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Mays a New Leaf from nineteen seventy one under this. Okay,

334
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: there's this theme.

335
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that they.

336
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: Called fresh Starts, which is basically like, I don't know,

337
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: it seems like a New Year's themed theme with a

338
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: bunch of movies that are all about like people who

339
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: want new love or something like that. Yeah, And I

340
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: was kind of like, Okay, Sleepless in the Seattle, Perhaps

341
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Alice doesn't live here anymore? Sure? Starting over with our

342
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: mad Bert Reynolds. Sure. And then I was like, oh,

343
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: a New Leaf by Elaine may I'm like, I don't

344
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: know if he wants a fresh start Walter Mathou's character.

345
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Have you seen this movie, by the way.

346
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: I have not, Okay, I'm ashamed to say. And I

347
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: like Elaine May.

348
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: Well here's the tea. I haven't seen it either, which

349
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: is why I watched it, and now that I know

350
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: what I know about it, I was like, is this

351
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: a fresh start? I'm curious? But anyway, that's just me

352
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: being I'm being a finicky programmer. I suppose Yeah, it's

353
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: well and I've definitely played it fast and loose when

354
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: it comes to shit like this. Sure, I far being

355
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: from me to.

356
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 2: Come freeze a new leaf sounds like a fresh start,

357
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: you know, like title wise, it fits, but maybe the

358
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 2: movie doesn't quite fit well.

359
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a brant reference to the

360
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: idea that the Elaine May character, who plays a botanist,

361
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: is a holding a leaf in a lot of this movie,

362
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what it means. But the movie is

363
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: ostensibly about Walter Mathow. He's this kind of like trust

364
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: fun baby who like loses his money and then is like, fuck,

365
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: how do I get my money back? I guess I'm

366
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: going to date this like extremely nerdy rich woman and

367
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: then try to murder her at some point.

368
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: Oh that's dark.

369
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's dark, but it is actually like a very

370
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: interesting film. There's a lot of history about it. I mean,

371
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: this was Elaine May's first film that she directed, and

372
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: then she had issues with the final cut of it

373
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: because it wasn't her vision and it's just there's a

374
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: lot of drama, and so yeah, I had always heard

375
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: about this movie and I was like, I gotta watch it.

376
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: I love Walter Mathow, I love he's a craggy hotty.

377
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, this is great and it's a

378
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: very charming movie. It plays so differently than I thought

379
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: it was gonna play when I had heard about it

380
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: for all these years. But I liked it so much

381
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: that I went out to my local bookshop, Acapella Books,

382
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: and I bought the biography that the writer Carrie Krogan wrote,

383
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: which is called mis May Does Not Exist, The life

384
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: and work of Elaine May, Hollywood's hidden genius. So now

385
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm I can't wait to read more about it. I

386
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: got to watch The Heartbreak Kid again because I haven't

387
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: seen that forever and that is really hard to find.

388
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: I had to get it's a Minnesota movie, is it really? Yeah? Okay,

389
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: family's from Minnesota.

390
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: I had to I had There were nefarious ways that

391
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: I had to get that film, but I have it.

392
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to go down this path. But anyway,

393
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: a new leaf, that's what I'm logging and technically, yes,

394
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: I did watch quote Wuthering Heights end quote Yes, but

395
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm not logging it because we're putting a pin on it.

396
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: Does that mean yes? Okay? Cool?

397
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: Did I tell you about the time I saw Elaine

398
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: May in person?

399
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

400
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: When so I was eating dinner with my family at

401
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: Musso and Franks and Hollywood love it. And my mom's

402
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: always like, if you see a celebrity, tap your forehead,

403
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: that's our sign. Like I'll be like, there's a celebrity there,

404
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: and she's like, where, where's a celebrity I want to see?

405
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: Like that that has happened a lot when she visited,

406
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: and so I was like, we came up with this signal.

407
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: So it's like, calm down, and this is the night

434
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I mean, I thought this movie

435
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: was the coolest movie when it came out, I thought

436
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: it was super fun. Just a little side note. When

437
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: I was in college, I worked at my college radio

438
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: station and I had a radio a couple of radio

439
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: shows actually, and I would I remember when so Boots

440
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: Rally was in a hip hop group called the Coup

441
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Maybe Still Is. I don't know if there Still is Okay,

442
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: but one of their albums, Still this album had come

443
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: out and I played it a lot on my radio show.

444
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: So I knew him as a musician before I knew

445
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: that he had directed a film, and so I was

446
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: excited by that though, and I was like, cool, this

447
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be cool because you know their music is

448
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: really political and so it's like, oh, this could be

449
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: like a really cool thing. And yeah seeing it. Big

450
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: fan of Lakeith Stanfield, big fan. I don't know what

00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts are on at him, but he's.

452
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,239
Speaker 2: I like Lakeith Stanfield too. Yeah, he's like a like

453
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: a cartoon. He could play goofy. I mean he kind

454
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: of is like this tall, kind of droopy goofball guy.

455
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's great. I think he's a great

456
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 2: actor and I thought he fit in this movie so well.

Speaker 1: this is gonna be great.

460
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,480

00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got kind of this like, you know, very

463
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: like is it laconic? He's like a very laconic kind

464
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: of actor when he talks. And I love that. But yeah,

465
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean I was just excited to when

466
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: it came out and then I saw it, loved it.

467
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: So what about you?

468
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, when I saw this, it really blew my mind.

469
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean it was just so vibrant and creative and

470
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 2: funny and political. And you know, we talk a lot

471
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: about like we get annoyed that movies are too on

472
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: the nose. Well, this is on the nose. You know

473
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: exactly what it's talking about, but it's doing it in

474
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: such a creative, fun way, you know what I mean.

475
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of subtext in this movie at all, right,

476
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: but it's it's done in such a cartoonish grand way

477
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: that I love. Yeah. So uh, and I mean we're

478
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 2: going to spoil this movie. It's eight years old. I

479
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: think we've passed.

480
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 4: The time spoiled eight Yeah, because there's a hard left

481
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: turn in this movie that I did not know about

482
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: at all, and we can.

483
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Get into it later. Let's get into the movie. So

484
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: our main character is Cassius Green. He goes by cash.

485
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: This is Keith Stanfield. He's kind of a disgruntled slacker

486
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: living out of his uncle's garage in Oakland. He's got

487
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: a hot artist girlfriend named Detroit played by Tessa Thompson,

488
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: and it doesn't not a lot else going on. So

489
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: he gets a job as a telemarketer at this company,

490
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: Regal View, and he's selling encyclopedias and he's having a

491
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 2: hard time selling to people over the phone until an

492
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 2: older fellow working at the telemarketer place named Langston played

493
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: by Danny Glover, he tells him, you got to use

494
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: your white voice to sell, and he figures out a

495
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: white voice, which the white voice is voiced by David Cross.

496
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: It's very clearly a different person. Yeah, And when he

497
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 2: embodies this white voice, he becomes a huge success and

498
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: he starts selling a bunch of becomes a huge successful seller.

499
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

500
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: One thing in this movie is this company they call

501
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: that's called worry Free, which is supposed to be kind

502
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: of like Amazon and it's this huge corporation that sells stuff.

503
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: But also like they now have housing where you can

504
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: like sign a life time contract and like not get paid,

505
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: but like have housing and food for life. But you're

506
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: like living in a barracks basically. But it's like advertised

507
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: as a good thing and it's essentially slavery. So that's

508
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: kind of a thing that's going on throughout this movie. Now,

509
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: we just talked about working on Commission. Yeah, not that funny,

510
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: and they're doing that very thing in this movie.

511
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Remember when I said that it sucks asked to

512
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: work on Commission? That's this is exactly what I was

513
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: talking about.

514
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: I mean, could you imagine being a telemarketer? I really couldn't.

515
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: I think it would kill me on the inside. I would.

516
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't even last one day, I don't think.

517
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean shit, When I was like doing phone banking

518
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: for the Sierra Club when I was living in Los Angeles,

519
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: it was even I mean even like, listen, if you

520
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: have to call anyone on the phone cold at this

521
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: point in our timeline, it is not going to be fun.

522
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: Well I was going to say, no one picks up

523
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: the phone anymore. It's like, how is that even a

524
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: thing that happens. And this does sort of feel like

525
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 2: an ant like everything feels old in this movie, even

526
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: though it is modern day. But it's like that is

527
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: sort of a concept that I feel like doesn't exist

528
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: in the way that it did in the past.

529
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Well and like and to that end, doesn't it now

530
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: feel like a pyramid scheme to be like, oh you

531
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: have to This is how you make money is by

532
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: calling people who don't even want to pick up the phone.

533
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: And now iPhone has a thing where you can just

534
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: have them leave, like a statement of intention for the

535
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: phone call. Do you have this on your phone where

536
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: if a number comes up and it's unknown, there's this

537
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: thing that pops up to this be like, so what

538
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: do you call them? This woman about?

539
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Oh really, you don't have this on your iPhone? I

540
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: guess I wasn't aware of it.

541
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: I think it's it's like a switch you can toggle.

542
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: I use it because right now I think I've been

543
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: getting so many weird robocalls because of my I just

544
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: bought a house, so you know, of course now everyone's like, yeah,

545
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, going hamd what about your extended warranty? What

546
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: about this?

547
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: And so I got so much in the mail about

548
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: that so much like fraud stuff, you know, fraudulent.

549
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I turned it on and I'm like, oh man,

550
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: this is crazy because it's literally like it just sends

551
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of like sending phone calls to like this

552
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: purgatory where they're like, what do you want? And then

553
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: it pops up on my phone as kind of like

554
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: a voicemail, and then you can actually pick up in

555
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: midstream if you want to, Like it's like, oh okay,

556
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: if it's like my dad's neighbor calling me about something,

557
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: that I can pick up and talk to them. But

558
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: then if I don't pick up, it just goes to voicemail. Anyway,

559
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: That's how bad it's gotten to call people at this point, right, Yeah.

560
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: And so to me, it is so fucked to have

561
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: a job where you're like born to lose basically, and

562
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: this is coming from somebody I spent. I've had a

563
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of jobs people, a lot of jobs in my life,

564
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of different types of jobs, and working for

565
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: Commission sucks and this movie is proof that it sucks.

566
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: And the idea that it's racist that he has to

567
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: put on a white voice in order to succeed is

568
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: proof again of how shitty it is to work on

569
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: commission for phones. And the one thing that I will

570
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: say that is really fun about this movie is there's

571
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of a sequence at the beginning where he's making

572
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: phone calls, and it's like the movie basically shows you

573
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: the like it's kind of this like visual representation of

574
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: the phone call where la Keith Stanfield's character just immediately

575
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of erupts into the person's house.

576
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he like physically drops into the person's house. It's

577
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 2: not just like showing him talking in the office. It's

578
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: like he's physically in the person's house trying to talk

579
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: to them. You know.

580
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really fun. That felt kind of like

581
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: like a monkey's episode or something.

582
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I know absolutely, it's very I mean,

583
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: this movie is za certainly.

584
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, have you ever worked Okay,

585
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: I know you said that you've never worked as a telemarker,

586
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: but have you ever worked in a place that was

587
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: a phone based job in like a call center?

588
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I have a very little I

589
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: have very little phone confidence. I feel like I don't

590
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: like calling people. I don't like getting phone calls TRD

591
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: for me, Well, it's great and I never had a

592
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: job that required it.

593
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's crazy because you have a perfect voice for phones.

594
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: Well, I do have a perfect white voice. I was

595
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: gonna say I should have been I could have been

596
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: cast as one of the white voices in this movie.

597
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: I I will have to agree with you.

598
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: One funny thing. You know how they're always like the

599
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: best caller of all time, the best employee, Hal Jamison,

600
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: And they show this guy like on plaques. You know, ah,

601
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: you know that guy? Yes, So that is the production

602
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: designer for this movie. And he's also done everything everywhere,

603
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: all at once. His name is Jason Kisvarde and he's

604
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: married to my friend kel From and she was like

605
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: a set dresser on this movie. I think she was

606
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: on this one, but also on every everything, everywhere, all

607
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: at once. But they do kind of have similar kind

608
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: of visual thing. But that I just want that's the

609
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 2: set designer or that's the production designer in the movie.

610
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy cool.

611
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: Some little tidbit there. This movie did make me like

612
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: miss the camaraderie of like working a shitty job and

613
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: then going out for drinks afterward.

614
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, what do you do to drink alone? Drink

615
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: a martini alone.

616
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I go into a closet with a hanging light

617
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: bulb and I just drink a martini alone, like.

618
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,959
Speaker 1: Chug it back, Gibson, speed like my coat? Am I right?

619
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Like Millie to Chericho, Jesus Christ, what a fucking nightmare.

620
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like the scene in the King

621
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: of Comedy when he has like, you know, he's talking

622
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: into his like he's putting on like a fake talk show.

623
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: That's sort of me every now complaining about me, Yes,

624
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: complain about Millie. Uh okay. Moving on, a fellow telemarketer, Squeeze,

625
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 2: played by Stephen Young, he starts trying to organize a union.

626
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: But while that's happening, you know, Cash is kind of interested.

627
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: But Cash is also moving up the ranks and he

628
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: gets promoted. He gets to go to the second floor

629
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: and he gets to take the gold elevator, and that's

630
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 2: where they're selling the real shit. That's where the real

631
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: money is. And he finds out that regal view on

632
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: the second floor where the the big boy callers are.

633
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: They're selling weapons of mass destruction and human beings like

634
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: slave trade type stuff and worry Free that Amazon company.

635
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: I had talked about previously is their biggest client. So

636
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: Cash is like, I can't do this. But then they

637
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: show him how much the money is and it's a lot,

638
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: and so he puts away you know, his morals and

639
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: decides to start selling you know, weapons of mass destruction.

640
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: But while that's happening, the bottom floor dweller tark telemarketers

641
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: are on strike and Cash he becomes a scab. He

642
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: starts breaking the picket line and he gets hit in

643
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: the head with a coke can. He becomes like memified.

644
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: So he's got like this bloody bandage on his head,

645
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 2: but like he's memed on the internet and on TV

646
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 2: of him getting hit in the head with a coke cane.

647
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: I thought something kind of interesting in this movie was

648
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 2: like it felt very much like Oakland versus San Francisco. Yeah,

649
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: you know, you know San Francisco's kind of known as

650
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: like the white techie city. In Oakland is you know,

651
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: more diverse and having a harder time. And I feel

652
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of this is a very Oakland movie.

653
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot about kind of going to

654
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: the other side. I don't know where his like fancy

655
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 2: apartment is that he gets he moves out of the

656
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: garage into like a fancy white apartment, but it seems

657
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: like that's in San Francisco.

658
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know what's interesting too about movies like

659
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: this is, you know, tell me part of what is

660
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: Cash's plights? I think at the beginning, especially as it

661
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: references to his girlfriend, is like he lives in a garage.

662
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: He lives in Terry Crus's garage, and basically it's his apartment.

663
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: And then the automatic garage Doorg comes flying up all

664
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: the time and it's like, hey, I'm naked in here.

665
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: Why is this? You know? And it's basically like, Okay,

666
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: he drives a shitty car, he lives in a garage.

667
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: Then when he starts making that bank, he like transfers

668
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: to a nice I don't know, I'd call it kind

669
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: of a Michael Fastbender and shame type of apartment. It's

670
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: like a kind of high risy perfect description, thanks very much.

671
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: And it's all white and it has like all white

672
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: bedding and all white furniture. And I'm always like, what

673
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: is the impulse for rich people to live in all

674
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: white spaces?

675
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? I do think it's like you do need to

676
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: be rich to live in such a white space because

677
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 2: it needs to be cleaned constantly or else that to

678
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: look disgusting, you know, But that's what I think.

679
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: But is it? What is it about? There's got to

680
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: be papers written on this. There's like a psychology of

681
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: like rich people that are like I don't want anything,

682
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Like having possessions means you're poor. Yeah, having yeah, having

683
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: things that are any color but beiese and white means

684
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: you're poor. And what does that mean? Like psychologically I.

685
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: Suppose, but so fascinating. Yeah, I don't really I don't

686
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: know the answer to that.

687
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: H Well, I guess this is what really underscores Cash

688
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: being a scab sellout then, is because he's got this

689
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: all white apartment. To that end, can I talk about Squeeze,

690
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: Yes you can. Stephen Young's character Squeeze Squeeze. Stephen Young

691
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: is a cutie patuity m hatty boomblattie. And I forgot

692
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: that he was in this movie right too, And so

693
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: what I was like, Oh, fuck Stephen Jones in this movie.

694
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about his character. So he's kind of

695
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: the like shitster. Yeah, he wants to unionize, He's trying

696
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: to get everybody on board. He's basically like, these people,

697
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: you know, aren't paying us enough and we want benefits, Like,

698
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: let's fucking unionize, right, get together. I don't know how

699
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: you feel about the work grump or the work shitster. Yeah,

700
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: but I've always been deeply attracted to those folks.

701
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: Wow, the grump. That's interesting. Do you where do you

702
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: think that comes from?

703
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 1: Because I working sucks? Yeah, And then this is a

704
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: maybe this is a larger point I'm trying to make

705
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: about maybe this movie and just the culture of work,

706
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: because I think in my brain, I've always thought and

707
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: internalized that work sucks, and that like having a boss sucks,

708
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: and you're never gonna be besties with your boss. You're

709
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: always gonna work for the quote unquote man, there is

710
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: no there is no way around it, even if you

711
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: make it free to have sodas, even if you have

712
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: like fun time outings, even if your boss is trill

713
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: and your age and cool or whatever. It's like just

714
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: the inherent nature of capitalism and working is always gonna suck.

715
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: And I'm always gonna bitch and I'm always gonna want

716
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: to take time off and.

717
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

718
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying yes, And so I think

719
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: for me, part of what I love about the grumpus

720
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: that they're in camaraderie with you on this point, Like

721
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: they're basically like, Yo, let's go smoke a cigarette, bitch

722
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: and complain about our fucking bosses. I love that person.

723
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm that person, and I'm saying this when I work

724
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: for people who are extremely nice and cool and friends

725
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: and things like that. But I don't care. It is

726
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: the joy of life to complain about work, like with

727
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: your co workers, absolutely, with a beer or a cigarette

728
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: or a fucking secret DM in a.

729
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 2: Zoom like something, yeah, yes, yes, yes.

730
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: Why would you work if you couldn't blow off steam

731
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: in any kind of way, Like if you just showed

732
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: up every day and be like, oh my god, I'm

733
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: obsessed with this.

734
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 2: Job and I love it all and I love come on, oh,

735
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean, talking shit is one of the joys, and

736
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 2: it's a bonding experience above all else, you know, talking

737
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: shit about other people, your job, it's it's vital. Yeah,

738
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: I think it is it. Have you ever been in

739
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 2: a situation where you're like talking shit and you're talking

740
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: shit with someone and they are like, I don't really

741
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: like to talk about people behind their back.

742
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: Oh, it happens, more like it happened to me the

743
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: other day.

744
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: It did. These people should be executed, dude, dude.

745
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: I I was blowing off some steam and I did.

746
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: It's always weird when you would do it to somebody

747
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: that you're just kind of hanging out with. For like,

748
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: I went to lunch with somebody I'd never gone to

749
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: lunch with before, and I was like, oh, well, they

750
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: got to be cool because they want to hang out

751
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: with me. And then I kind of went on a

752
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: little tangent and they were like, oh, that's interesting. I'm

753
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: really sorry to hear that. I'm really sorry that that

754
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: should have been your experience. Like no, no, no, no, no,

755
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be like, fuck, yeah, bitch, that's exactly

756
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: how I feel. Let's fucking complain about it. I was like,

757
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: oh shit, wow, yeah, so it is. It's hard when

758
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: you get your door slammed in your face like that. Yes,

759
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: it's the worst, and then you feel like you're like, oh,

760
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: I fucked up. I said too much the same.

761
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: I guess I'm the worst person on the planet.

762
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't I love my job like they love

763
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: their job? But back to the Stephen Youwton character. I

764
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: think because he is a shitster and he's trying to unionize,

765
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: I would not only want to hang out with him,

766
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: but I would have the biggest crush on him, Like

767
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: he's he's our Eric Brockovich. Okay, I love him.

768
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: And he's cute, so yes, you know I love him

769
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 2: in this movie. But I also love Jermaine Fowler's character

770
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 2: in this movie. He's like, he's like the good time guy.

771
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: And I love when him and uh like Keith get

772
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: into like a compliment.

773
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: Off and oh my god. Love.

774
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: He's like, what's up with you? What's up? And he's like,

775
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: you smell really great. I hope you have a great

776
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 2: day I have. I hope you have a blessed day.

777
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: It's like he's like, wow, yeah, I hope you haven't

778
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 2: had a better day, like getting each other's.

779
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 1: Succeed you know. Yeah, it's really funny. Also, he calls

780
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: what he's talking about La King's Danfield's character as being

781
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: like a scab. He calls him, I should be saying

782
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: this on Black History, but I'm He calls him the

783
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: ariana grande of disloyal n words, yes, which I thought

784
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: was good a great line.

785
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: But anyway, that's a great line. Yes, there's a lot

786
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: of good lines in this. Yeah, it's very funny. Moving on,

787
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: Cash is on the ounce with his friends and his

788
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: girlfriend Detroit, but he attends he attends a party by

789
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 2: Worry free CEO Steve Lift, played by the canceled Army Hammer.

790
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: He plays a villainous character in this so I didn't

791
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: mind seeing him, which is maybe not the right take,

792
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: but that's how I felt about it. This party is

793
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 2: awkward and horrible, but Steve Lift wants Cash to work

794
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 2: for worry Freeze since he's done such a good job

795
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: at Regal View. So while Cash is looking for the

796
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: bathroom and here we go spoiler alert, big left turn here.

797
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: While he's looking for the bathroom, he discovers the horrible

798
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 2: secret about the company Worry free They are creating half human,

799
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 2: half horse mutant people to become stronger, more efficient workers,

800
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: and Steve Lift wants Cash to become one of these

801
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: new race of creatures in order to kind of lead

802
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 2: and control them. Like Cash says in the movie, He's like,

803
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: you want me to be the Martin Luther King of Equisapiens.

804
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 2: So Lift also reveals that like, how you become an

805
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: equisapian one of these half human half horse people, is

806
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: by snorting this medicine. And like two seconds earlier, he

807
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 2: gave Cash cocaine to sniff, and Cash was like, did

808
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 2: you just give me the thing to turn me into

809
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 2: a horse? And he's like, no, no, that was cocaine. But

810
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: you're kind of like, was it though? Anyways, a little

811
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: ambiguity there, but this was this really? I mean this

812
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 2: really were you prepared for such an insane twist right there?

813
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, of course, I.

814
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: Of course is a horse. Of course, of course, yes.

815
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 2: I was disgusted by the disgusted.

816
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: I understand that this is an artistic choice that boots

817
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 1: rarely chose to make. But I was like, I really

818
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: did not need to see the horse sticks.

819
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: But you do, though, but you do because it comes.

820
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: Up uh disturbing at best. I yeah, I was shocked

821
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: by this. I mean it was like, not I did

822
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: not see that coming. What's ever? And then somehow was

823
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: like I was like, oh, this is Armie Hammer is

824
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: doing this. Okay, now it makes sense because he feels

825
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: like I mean, I don't know how much anybody really

826
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: knows about Army Hammer like outside of LA.

827
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 2: But his family owns like a lot of LA. Yeah,

828
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 2: the Hammer Museum. He's a huge rich like kid. The

829
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 2: Hammer is like a name you see around.

830
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so for some reason I was like, oh,

831
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: this is actually exactly what I think him and his

832
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: family do, like like people of his ilk I think

833
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: is what I mean, meaning like these blue blooded, like generational,

834
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: wealthy white people, you know, who's who own a lot

835
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: of things in you know, towns and cities and whatnot.

836
00:47:54,719 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: Do they get into this weird, fucked up bioengineering shit. Yeah, sure,

837
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I think. And so it was funny

838
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, well, this track's because his

839
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: character seems to be that person. Yeah, and he is

840
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: playing this person too, which is hilarious.

841
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was. It was good casting for

842
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: like an evil tech billionaire guy, yes exactly. So uh yeah,

843
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 2: fucking gross disturbing, Yes, it kind of comes. You know.

844
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: It's interesting because Detroit. Tessa Thompson's character is an artist

845
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 2: and she's like a real punk rock artist. But Cash

846
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: points out, He's like, you're selling only your art to

847
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 2: rich white people, and also you have a white voice,

848
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 2: which is funny because the white voice of Tessa Thompson

849
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 2: is Lily James, who Tessa Thompson was in a movie

850
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 2: with Lily James called Little Woods that came out in

851
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and that was directed by Nia DaCosta, who

852
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: just did twenty eight years later The Bone. It was

853
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 2: all full circle and she hugged you and she hugged me.

854
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 2: But I just think that's so interesting. It's just like

855
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: even the most punk rock artist person, it's like we

856
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 2: have to circle at the teet of the rich white people,

857
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: you know, we all have to like there's just no escaping.

858
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think that's kind of the I

859
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: think it tracks that Boots Riley would put that message

860
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: in a film that he made, because yeah, he's making

861
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: political art, political songs, and I'm sure at a certain point,

862
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: you know, has thought about the idea of what you

863
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: have to do as a black artist in order to

864
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: be successful, and who you have to sell shit to

865
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: and who you have to change and who you have

866
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: to change yourself into in order to have that success.

867
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: And it's funny because this movie is obviously about that,

868
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: but then this movie actually he became successful. So I'm

869
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: kind of like he wrote a movie in critique of that,

870
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: but then the movie itself has become its own, and

871
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: it was like a meta narrative or something within white

872
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: cenophol culture or whatever Hollywood to the point where it's like, well,

873
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, how did he I wonder if like this

874
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a prophecy or something. I

875
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: don't know how to describe it. But because this movie was,

876
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: like I thought a lot of people really got into

877
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: this movie, like more than it being sort of like

878
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: a political kind of artsy indie film, I think it

879
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 1: went beyond that for sure, and I'm just curious as

880
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: to I'm sure there's interviews about it, but you know,

881
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: like how he navigated that success?

882
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it is interesting because you want him

883
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 2: to have success, and you want artists to have success

884
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: based off their like very authentic art. But then like

885
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 2: what does that mean? Yeah, I don't know, it's interesting.

886
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think that's like a thing that

887
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Peele does really well too, is talking about like

888
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 1: black art and selling out and white audiences and things.

889
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just obviously a perspective that is interesting,

890
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't.

891
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: Know, just yeah, all right, let's get to the end here.

892
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: Cash has quit Regal View and he's back protesting and

893
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 2: striking with his buddies. He's going on TV. He's showing

894
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: the video of the horse the Equisapiens and nothing. It's

895
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: not working. People are like, Armie Hammer's cool for doing this,

896
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: Steve Lift, he's the man for doing this. So it

897
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: doesn't too much good. But then there's a huge protest

898
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: outside of Regal View and a brawl and the swat

899
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 2: team comes in and things are turning kind of violent

900
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 2: and Cash gets thrown in a police car or like

901
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: a police swat vehicle, and things are looking grim for

902
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: our heroes. But then the Equissapiens come to rescue and

903
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 2: free everyone, and they save the day. And then Cash,

904
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's out of a jo or he's I think.

905
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 2: He goes back to being a telemarketer again. At the

906
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 2: bottom floor. He moves back into his uncle's garage. Things

907
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 2: are kind of he's back with Detroit. Things are all

908
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 2: fine until he discovers he's turning into an equisapien. Oh

909
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 2: my goodness, gracious, and he goes back to Armie Hammer's

910
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 2: house with a group of equisapiens and we assume he

911
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: obliterates him. So that's it. I mean, you wrote this down,

912
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 2: but this movie holds up. It feels even more prescient

913
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 2: and more relevant today than ever before. You know it.

914
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: It's even kind of amazing as it came about eight

915
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: years ago. I'm like, this could have come out today.

916
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: We're talking about the same shit.

917
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I God, this movie is extremely fun and.

918
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: Creative, very fun.

919
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: I truly enjoy it like more, maybe even a little

920
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: bit more than I did back then, which is saying

921
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: a lot.

922
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: I think I did it. When I saw it the

923
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: first time, I thought it was kind of unwieldy and

924
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: kind of like, oh where are we going? Because it

925
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: really takes you on all these different turns. But after

926
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 2: seeing it a second time, I didn't feel that way,

927
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: and I enjoyed it more than this time than even

928
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: the last time, and I liked it last time. Yeah.

929
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited for his new movie. I love Boosters.

930
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: It looks great.

931
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 2: There's a great cast, fabulous, yes, and I'm.

932
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: Just glad that he's working still. And you know that's

933
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: you know the thing that we've talked about before with

934
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Hollywood and the willingness to take gambles

935
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: on creative people, and especially if you're black. And so

936
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that, you know, God, I hope he gets

937
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars to make shit.

938
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, yeah, Like I think is this

939
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 2: should empower people. That It's like, if you have the

940
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: craziest idea and you're like, people won't like this, I

941
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 2: have to think about what people will like. I don't

942
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: think you should think that way. I think you should

943
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 2: think about what you think will be good and interesting

944
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 2: and weird and what you like. And I feel like

945
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: this is just such a creative, unique vision and people

946
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 2: grabbed onto it. Yeah, you know, and it's weird. It

947
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: is weird, but it's good.

948
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: It's a good you know.

949
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it?

950
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: All right.

951
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 2: Oh anyways, well that's it. Anything else you wanted to

952
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 2: touch upon there, Millie.

953
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: Before we move on, Happy Black History Month?

954
00:54:51,840 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 2: Once again, it's time for some emails. We've got some gripes,

955
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 2: some gropes, some grets, and some advice. Let me open

956
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: up the email bag here, all right, this is a

957
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: gripe from Liz. Hello, Millian Casey loved the show and

958
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm especially delighted by the corny opening skits, corny, corny

959
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 2: A corny No, they are corny as hell. I want

960
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: to preface this by saying I have no tattoos, but

961
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 2: despite not being cool and inke to myself, I can't

962
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: help but notice extremely crisp and fresh aka unrealistic looking

963
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: tattoos and movies. I'm talking about super saturated, vant to

964
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 2: black tattoos that aren't faded at all. Very often you

965
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 2: can even see the transparent square border where the quote

966
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: unquote tattoo was put on, which I recognized from youth,

967
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 2: my youth slapping on fruit stripe, gum, temperry tattoos an

968
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 2: additional gripe bad guys who for whatever reason decide to

969
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 2: have very distinctive tattoos on their necks that inevitably help

970
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: our heroes identify them. Maybe just don't have your underground

971
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 2: criminal organization require huge scorpion tattoos above the collar. I'm

972
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 2: not an expert in criminal enterprises, but that seems like

973
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: the bare minimum to me. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Liz,

974
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: Great email.

975
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: Liz movie tattoos.

976
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 2: I do. I it doesn't, it hasn't bothered me, but

977
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 2: I do notice it. I have noticed I can't think

978
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 2: of an example, but I do notice it in movies

979
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: when I'm like, that's not a real tattoo.

980
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: No, you should powder it bare minimum. Just powder it

981
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: like if you're going to draw it on or something

982
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: like make it look faded and crusty.

983
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

984
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was something else along these lines the other

985
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: day that I thought about that. I was like, yes,

986
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: this is also fake, and I don't no, God, I

987
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Wasn't piercings, but it was.

988
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 2: Like hair beard, mustache.

989
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it was facial hair. Because I watched Aaron Brockovich agin.

990
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:20,919
Speaker 1: I was like, God, damn, this facial hair on Aaron

991
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: Eckhart is terrible.

992
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: It looks like he went into a barber shop and

993
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: grabbed some hair on the ground and just kind of

994
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 2: smushed it on his face. I mean, it looks terrible.

995
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: It looks so puby and like awful.

996
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: It looks like they glued on a party shop beard,

997
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: like when you're going for Halloween.

998
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 2: I was like, this is crazy. This is a.

999
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: Steven Soderberg movie. How could they let this happen? But yeah,

1000
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: it was facial hair, and I mean, god, we are

1001
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: living in the modern era. There's definitely ways to make

1002
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: that shit look real, and tattoos for that matter.

1003
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: So you know what bothers me too when this happens,

1004
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: like biopics a lot, or they'll give an actor who's

1005
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: like playing a real person, they'll give them different colored

1006
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 2: eye contacts. Like if it's like if are like Johnny

1007
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: Depp in a Black Mass, He's given blue eye contacts,

1008
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you look freaky as hell. You don't

1009
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: look like a natural blue eyed person. It doesn't just

1010
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 2: you can't just like swap in blue eyes or different

1011
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 2: colored eye contacts and make it look normal.

1012
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: You know, have you seen a fuck? Have you seen

1013
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: the new photos that have come out from the Beatles movies?

1014
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 2: I saw the paulm This skull Okay, I'm.

1015
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: Like, what the hell is going on? This is smashing machine,

1016
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: reducks or something.

1017
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what this.

1018
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: Face gould ting is this?

1019
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 2: I agree, he looks like he looks like so fleshy

1020
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: and like he's got lip viller and stuff. It looks crazy.

1021
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 2: I think, why do we have to be so hyper

1022
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: accurate like that? It's like so nutty.

1023
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's like even the uh well, I

1024
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: thought the Barry Kyogan as Ringo. I thought looked actually

1025
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: pretty good, but this whole like they're really like, you know,

1026
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: sculpting a new face for these actors. I'm like, at

1027
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: a certain point, just let it go, like, just let

1028
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: this ship.

1029
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they all look like they're I don't even It's

1030
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: like they look like they're made of clay. They don't

1031
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 2: look like real people or like AI.

1032
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so weird. I'm like, listen, not

1033
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: every Elvis impersonator looks exactly like Elvis.

1034
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 2: They didn't do this to Austin Butler and he was great.

1035
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 2: It looks like unfrozen cabal on lawyer or something. I mean,

1036
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 2: it's wild.

1037
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: God damn dude, I know. I was like, this is

1038
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: walking insane. But I guess to Liza's point, I will

1039
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: say Gripe accepted because honestly, yeah, you know, like that's

1040
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: that's a that's a huge like eye sore when you

1041
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: see bad fake tattoos.

1042
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Uh. All right, moving on. This is from Jackie dear

1043
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 2: Million Casey. My husband and I just finished watching The

1044
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: New Naked Gun, and as promised, it was hysterical. I

1045
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 2: was so impressed with Pamela Anderson's comedic Delivery. I was

1046
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: also a big fan of the Last show Girl, but

1047
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 2: it is so much harder to be funny than sad,

1048
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 2: so it's truly blown away by her. My question is,

1049
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 2: what are your favorite movies and performances that recontextualize a

1050
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: performer's entire career. I'm thinking along the lines of Jim

1051
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Carrey An Eternal Sunshine or Charlie Starren in Monster Can't

1052
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: Wait to Hear from You, Jackie.

1053
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

1054
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 2: I mean a big famous one is like I would say,

1055
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 2: like Burt Reynolds and Boogie Nights. I guess that doesn't

1056
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 2: recontextualize his career, it just sort of like revamped it.

1057
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 2: I would say John Travolta in pulp fiction. I didn't

1058
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: know he could play a guy like that.

1059
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: You know what, this is a subtle one. Do you

1060
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: remember the Nicole Haulloff Center movie Enough Said from twenty thirteen,

1061
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: absolutely with James Gandolfini as the like romantic comedy yeah lead.

1062
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, of course, this is so fucking

1063
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: cute that he did this movie. It's like, Okay, Tony Soprano,

1064
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: everybody knows he's a you know, like a fucking mean

1065
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: mafia guy. But then now, is this like conly guy

1066
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,479
Speaker 1: in a Nicole Hull off Center movie.

1067
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, perfect, you feel so he's like

1068
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 2: and like Julia Louis Dreyfuss is kind of like a

1069
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 2: jerk sometimes and like kind of like prop pokes at

1070
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 2: him and he's kind of like you can tell his

1071
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 2: feelings get hurt and it's kind of it's very he's

1072
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 2: like a very sensitive person. That's a great answer. Oh

01:01:58,200 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: my god.

1074
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it just made me like melts. I was

Speaker 1: guy to be this like sweet heart, like just normal dude.

1077
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god. I kind of felt

1078
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: that way similarly, not as much obviously, but when Jason

1079
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: Statham was in the Melissa McCarthy movie Is It Called Spy,

1080
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: and he like kind of became like a little simpy

1081
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: for her at the end where he was like kind

1082
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: of had a crush on her, and I was just like,

1083
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: I want him to be like this too.

1084
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I remember thinking, I mean Channing Tatum, I

1085
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 2: had a big I was like, oh, I remember he

1086
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:46,479
Speaker 2: was in the movie This is the End as Danny

1087
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: McBride's sex slave, and I was like, Okay, he's funny.

1088
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that before. Yeah, he Like I was like,

1089
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: I knew he was talented, but I didn't know he

1090
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: had this like goofy side to him. And I thought

1091
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 2: that was fun. Oh I had another one. You know,

1092
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: I really love Richard Linkletter's Bernie with Jack Black. Yes,

1093
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,959
Speaker 2: And I feel like I've always been a huge Jack

1094
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: Black fan, but I feel like you really did something

1095
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 2: different in that one. And I was like really impressed

1096
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 2: by that.

1097
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's but there's so many examples of this.

1098
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean you could even go back to like freaking

1099
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Berkeley and Showgirls or you know, like whatever, like

1100
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: anytime a good girl goes bad or like a bad

1101
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: guy goes good, You're obviously like what like I didn't

1102
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: realize that, Like I don't know, like Matthew McConaughey would

1103
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: wear a thong and magic, you know, like whatever. It's

1104
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: like you know, but and ye'll stick it, yes, sting it.

1105
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: But it's that's a good question. I mean obviously a lot.

1106
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: But I now you got me on this James Skattlfini

1107
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: and a n ough said thing, and I'm just oh,

1108
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: now I'm just in the worst Millie happiness of that.

1109
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: All right, here's the last one. Okay from Leah. First

1110
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: of all, I love your podcast. Well should I read

1111
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 2: all this? There's some well there's some fawning in here,

1112
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 2: let's just read it. First of all, I love your podcast.

1113
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 2: I've always loved movies, but truly listening to your podcast

1114
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 2: has made me obsessed. I feel like being in conversation

1115
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 2: with thoughtful, cool, funny friends who are the appropriate level

1116
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 2: of being a shithead while not being so pretentious you

1117
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 2: need to get a drink to avoid conversation. You've expanded

1118
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 2: my movie taste and introduced me to some real gems,

1119
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 2: i e. Show Girls. Hey, anyway, if you choose to

1120
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 2: read my question, you can cut the accolades if you like.

1121
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 2: I didn't, but I wanted to tell you anyway because

1122
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: I'm very appreciative. I'm a very appreciative of you both.

1123
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, I was watching a movie at home

1124
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 2: and was not feeling it, but I continued watching anyway,

1125
01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 2: just to see if i'd like it more. By the end.

1126
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 2: I did not like it more by the end. What

1127
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 2: is y'all's perspective on finishing a movie even if you're

1128
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 2: not feeling it, do you stop watching it or persevere?

1129
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 2: Thanks for the film advice, Millie. What do you think

1130
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 2: I stop?

1131
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I used to not, but now I do because life

1132
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: is too fucking short.

1133
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 2: I have never stopped a movie not finished.

1134
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: Whoa okay?

1135
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Or a book? Wow? Oh even Oh that is so hard.

1136
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 2: I think my life is worse because of it. I

1137
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 2: think I'm an unhappier person. I wish I could be

1138
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 2: free like you and my wife Tricia. She like reads

1139
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 2: a page of a book and is like stinker and

1140
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 2: throws it out the window. And she does the same

1141
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: with watching movies. If she's like this sucks, she'll just

1142
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 2: start fast forwarding through it. Ah, and uh, you both

1143
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 2: are free and I'm chained. I just can't. I can't.

1144
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I have to finish it. Goes back to

1145
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 2: film school and being like seeing these movies that I'm like, oh,

1146
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 2: I do not like this and I hate this, but

1147
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 2: everyone said this was a brilliant movie. I have to

1148
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 2: finish it. You know that type of shit. It's ingrained

1149
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 2: in me.

1150
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this maybe to bridge the gap between

1151
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: two of us. I am less likely to leave a

1152
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: bad movie if I'm saying it in a movie theater.

1153
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Mm hm, I am way more likely to turn that

1154
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 1: shit off if I'm at.

1155
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Home in the theater. The theater is an experience that

1156
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 2: it would be hard to like walk out of, you know,

1157
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean it's harder.

1158
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly got to be bad to walk out

1159
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: of a movie. And to be honest, the only times

1160
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: I've really walked out of a movie was not really content.

1161
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: It was more just like bad screening experiences, like I've

1162
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: done that where it's like, oh the sound is terrible

1163
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: or it's too hot in a year or whatever. Yeah,

1164
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: but never like based on the movie itself. But then yeah,

1165
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: if I'm at home, I mean, all bets are off. Shit.

1166
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: I've turned off good movies that I'm like, I just

1167
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: did not really in the in the vibe right now,

1168
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's.

1169
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: My late aunt Cynthia. I would guess about seventy percent

1170
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 2: of the movies she went to see in the theaters,

1171
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 2: and she went to see a lot of movies. I

1172
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 2: would guess seventy percent she walked out of because she

1173
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 2: was like she would get really scandalized by things very easy,

1174
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 2: like if there was like a lot of violence or

1175
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 2: crude humor or like and even sometimes we'd be talking

1176
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 2: about a movie and she's like, oh, that's such a

1177
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 2: beautiful movie. I love that movie. I did walk out

1178
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,919
Speaker 2: of it, but like before I did, it was really good.

1179
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: What an G She's like, oh, I loved it. I

1180
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 1: didn't watch all of it, but I loved it. Yeah.

1181
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Will I will tell you, Like I think I've talked

1182
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: about this before on an episode where one of the

1183
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:03,439
Speaker 1: movies that I really tested my my theater experience thing

1184
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: is the crib Master Cycle that Matthew Barney.

1185
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 2: Oh fuck, yeah, dude, imagine, Oh my God, like Jesus

1186
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: talk about God.

1187
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember. It was four or five. It was

1188
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 1: one of the later ones where first of all, my

1189
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: two ship Head movie friends Parks and Stewart.

1190
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 2: It doesn't get much ship.

1191
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: God, these like Parks and Stewart, they're I don't know

1192
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: if they're listening, but if they are, I'm saying this

1193
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: and with love, but they are truly like the types

1194
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: that will go and endure the most. I mean, they're

1195
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: like first in line the larsvon s Treer movie. They're

1196
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: fucking doing the Derek Jarmin Blue They're doing crib Master

1197
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: cycle in movie theaters, and I'm like, fuck, dude, And

1198
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 1: I remember it was like either four or five where

1199
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: I was literally like I think I should go, Like

1200
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 1: I I I paid and I can't take it anymore.

1201
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: I cannot fucking take it. And I stayed and I

1202
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: just remember thinking like I just went through some shit,

1203
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 1: like somebody's gotta fucking give me props for this, Like

1204
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: somebody's in my life has got to clap.

1205
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 2: Well. I I'm kind of jealous because you can't even

1206
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 2: rent though there's they're not on you can't see those

1207
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: unless they're they're screened at a museum. They don't there's

1208
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 2: no way to like rent, there's no release of those,

1209
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 2: you know exactly.

1210
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: And that's what that was another, I think reason why

1211
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: I felt like I had to stay. But I was like, yo,

1212
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't care, I should I should just go anyway,

1213
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: but god damn.

Speaker 2: just moving through slowly and it's in like slow motion,

1223
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 2: so it's like everyone's moving barely moving. And it was

1224
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: like two hours of that and I was like, holy shit.

1225
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 2: I was like because I didn't really know what the

1226
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 2: movie was. But our professor it was like a school

1227
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 2: class field drip. We all went like my class went

1228
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 2: and it was like crazy, Oh my god.

1229
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. There was like a concept that my friend Phil Blankenship,

1230
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: who is the programmer at the New Beverly in LA,

1231
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: him and his his friends would do a thing they

1232
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: called cinema suicide where they would just like go into

1233
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: movies that were four walled, you know, like they're basically

1234
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: like in La where uh, filmmakers will four wall a

1235
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: theater and just put their movie into a movie theater

1236
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: because they want to qualify for the Oscars. Except a

1237
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: lot of times it's just like this fucking crazy, you know,

1238
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: filmmaker that doesn't know how to make a movie, and

1239
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the Room or something to that end. Yeah,

1240
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 1: But I but they call it cinema suicide because I uh,

1241
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: they said they walked into the Chinese Chinese Multiplex in

1242
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Hollywood to see one of these four walled movies, and

1243
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 1: the usher, who was like a teenage boy like was

1244
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: ripping their ticket like looking at them and goes, all right,

1245
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: cinema suicide.

1246
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 3: It was like, that's exactly what you would call it,

1247
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 3: Like you walking into a movie which you know is

1248
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 3: like not gonna be for you or is going to

1249
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 3: be painful to endure.

1250
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: And that's suicide. That's kind of how it felt with

1251
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: this concept.

1252
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 2: Yes, anyways, great emails, Thank you all for writing in.

1253
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 2: Really appreciate it. Those are some really fun ones. Now

1254
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: let's get to employees picks film recommendations based on the

1255
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 2: theme of the discussion, Millie, What do you got?

1256
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: So? I'm going for a pre code movie this week,

1257
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: And the whole reason why I picked it was I

1258
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 1: was very inspired by this Armie Hammer character I'm Sorry

1259
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: to Bother You, and it's this movie from nineteen thirty

1260
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: two called Island of Lost Souls based on HG. Wells

1261
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: is the Island of Doctor Moreau. I love it because

1262
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 1: I love Charles Lawton, the actor.

1263
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 2: Directive Hot Night of the Hunter.

1264
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 1: Correct, great actor, but he is creepiest fucking this movie.

1265
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: It's basically like, as you can imagine, it's like, you know,

1266
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 1: a sailor that is washed up on a island and

1267
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: Doctor Moreau, the scientist, is like, hey, check out all

1268
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: this fucked up shit I did. So that's kind of

1269
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: like what I thought of this week when I was

1270
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: watching Sorry to Bother You. So that's my employee pick

1271
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Island Muscles.

1272
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 2: Very good, uh my pick. Is a movie called They

1273
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: Cloned Tyrone from twenty twenty three. It is directed by

1274
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Jewel Taylor and it stars John Boyega, Jamie Fox, Tayona

1275
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 2: Paris and it is a sci fi comedy sit in

1276
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,960
Speaker 2: the ghetto in the hood. Ah, the name of the

1277
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 2: hood is called the Glen. That's just how they referred

1278
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 2: it to. And you're not exactly sure where it is.

1279
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,560
Speaker 2: I think that they shot it in Atlanta, But basically

1280
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 2: John Boyego plays a drug dealer and Jamie Fox is

1281
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 2: pimp and they discover that some scientific body is spying

1282
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 2: on this hood called the Glen and like cloning people

1283
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 2: and doing all sorts of strange experiments and like because

1284
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 2: like some people get killed and then they pop back

1285
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 2: up later and they're like because they got cloned and

1286
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: they're like, who's the real version of these people? But

1287
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 2: it's funny and it's kind of cartoony and it's uh,

1288
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 2: it's good, a good sci fi movie, but it's a

1289
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 2: good time too, so they clone Tyrone. It feels kind

1290
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 2: of similar in vibe too. Sorry to bother you. I

1291
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,839
Speaker 2: really liked it. I feel like no one. It apparently

1292
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 2: came out the same weekend as Barbenheimer and so nobody saw.

1293
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 2: But it's really I thought it was really good. I

1294
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 2: think it could have been a bigger hit if it

1295
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: hadn't come out in the largest movie weekend. It is

1296
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 2: like in history. So check it out. It's on Netflix

1297

1317
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're inspired by this. Perhaps it's

1318
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 1: because we're in the waiting days of winter and maybe

1319
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:26,320
