WEBVTT - Episode Zero

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush. This is Charles W.

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Chuck Bryant, and this is very exciting because this is

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>episode zero. I didn't know episode zero was really a thing,

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>because when Josh and I started stuff, you should know,

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.199
<v Speaker 1>nine plus years ago, there was no such thing as

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>an episode zero. But now it's the thing. And I'm

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>told that what you do is you sit in here,

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you explain a little bit about your show, You welcome

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 1>people into your little playhouse, and hopefully they stick around

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>for some treats. So that's what I'm doing here. And

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Movie Crush was something I've had brewing in my mind

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. I wanted to to do another podcast.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to do my own solo album, as it were,

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and I always wanted to do something movie based. And

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I put a lot of thought into what that would

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>look like, um whether it was gonna be I'm just

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>me in here talking about movies or talking about film theory.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about the art and the craft of filmmaking

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>with other people perhaps, And I batted around a lot

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>of ideas and what I landed on was this, which

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>is each week, I'm gonna sit down with your favorite

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>folks to talk about their favorite movie. Very simple concept,

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and so far, I gotta say it's going great. Part

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of the fun of this idea for me was not

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>just rapping with someone cool about their favorite movie, but

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>really sort of digging into the why and what is

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>it about, um not just a movie, but what is

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it about a favorite thing in general that you feel

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>comfortable naming in public? Across the board, every one I've

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>talked to so far about being interviewed or um have interviewed.

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I've got several in the can now have um all

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>had a great bit of fretting and consternation about going

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>public with their favorite movie. So it's sort of a

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>big deal. I think to name a favorite film and

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to to put it out there, I think it says

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot about who you are and what makes you

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>tick and just in general our are. The art and

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the culture that we consume and that we love really

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>really speaks to who we are at a certain level.

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's part of the fun of this show,

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>is sort of digging into that and seeing whether or

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>not people love a movie because of the craft of

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>it or the art and you know, the cinematography of

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the acting or whether it's pure nostalgia or whether it

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.839
<v Speaker 1>has great sentimental value for some reason or another. And

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>what is it about these movies that allow us to

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>sit down time and time again and watch these movies

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>over and over and over, sometimes dozens of times and

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>you still enjoy these films? So just super interesting to

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>me to kind of explore that. And as I build

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>out this body of work, hopefully we will have some

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>sort of a strange Venn diagram that forms as we

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>go and we can all learn a bit about each

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>other in the world at large. I know that's sort

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of a heavy thought for such a silly show, but

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that's what I aim to do here at Movie Crush.

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, for me, movies have always been such a big,

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>big part of my life, which is why I was

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>inspired to to do a movie podcast to begin with.

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Since I was a little kid, I remember my parents

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>took me to a drive in movie where I saw

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I think my very first movie out even though I

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was boy probably five years old, did not know what

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>was going on, but it's all blazing saddles on the

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>big screen. Had a drive in when I was just

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a wee lad, and um, I've been going to movies

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>ever since. It's just one of my great passions. I

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>worked in the film industry for a while. I was

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to write movies, writing screenplays. I'm still people even

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>though I've I've made it to the big times here

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>as a podcaster, I am still trying to write movies,

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>mainly because it's just fun. I don't have any designs

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that I will become a hot shot screenwriter here in

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>my mid to late forties. That's not how it works

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>in Hollywood. But I just like writing movies. I like

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>reading scripts. I like watching director's commentary and listening to

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that and actors commentary. Give me Criterion additions all day long, dude,

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and I will watch that stuff and listen to the commentaries.

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a film rat and junkie. Don't profess to know

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>everything about all the movies. Some of these movies on

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>movie Crush I may not have even seen yet. But

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that's also going to be part of the fun, is

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>uh me discovering the joy of some of these films

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>through the ears and eyes of some of these guests

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have on in the coming weeks. I have

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the great Janet Varney coming in the studio Janet is

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.640
