Speaker 1: reference to a nineties hip hop song. That's a reference
Speaker 1: to Koitus. Yes, exactly. All right, now we're gonna start
Speaker 1: off this week. We're gonna get right into it with
Speaker 1: a little surprise for you. I know. One of the
Speaker 1: running jokes on this show is movies that you haven't
Speaker 1: seen that I'm flabbergasted by. And people are starting to
Speaker 1: joke about that on the mini Mini Crushed Movie Crush.
Speaker 1: Do I think that's some kind of like uncultured rube. No,
Speaker 1: it's just funny because people are, like Chuck's always saying,
Speaker 1: what you haven't seen that? So here we go with
Speaker 1: a special little game called knowles holes. Wow. So No,
Speaker 1: what what I did was I put together a list
Speaker 1: of twenty films from the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties
Speaker 1: from a variety of genres, but all considered classics. And uh,
Speaker 1: you need to respond whether or not you have seen
Speaker 1: this movie or not? Should we say we should we
Speaker 1: allow the listeners to place bets? Sure? Everyone? Just how
Speaker 1: do we do this? How many are we talking here? Okay,
Speaker 1: so if my ratio falls, what's the over under? Yeah? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: well here's what I tried to do. I tried to
Speaker 1: just go across genres. So it wasn't like, you know,
Speaker 1: I tried to be fair about it. I'm not stump
Speaker 1: you necessarily. So I think I've I'm gonna say I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do better than fifty. All right, but we'll see. Alright,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna highlight the ones in Green that you've seen.
Speaker 1: Number one Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Sure, okay, Yeah,

Speaker 1: was quite young, but I do remember it came out
Speaker 1: in August eight, and you saw it. No. I did not.

Speaker 1: wonderfully scripted, acted and directed, classic class. It's very good.
Speaker 1: I had to actually watch that recently for what I
Speaker 1: thought was going to be a movie crush appearance from
Speaker 1: Nicki Glazer. Um. She was coming through town and she
Speaker 1: was all set, We're all set, and then she had

Speaker 1: is the janitor. Yes, he's like the secret math genius. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, the usual suspects, NOL. You were jamming, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's absurd, this notion that I
Speaker 1: haven't seen movies. Well, I think you're trying. You're proving
Speaker 1: it in our Kangar record American Beauty. Yes, that's another
Speaker 1: one I saw a million times. I love that one

Speaker 1: I want to throw myself off this waterfall and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go down and I'm gonna go here and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go let it. I'm gonna bounce off of this
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna end up right there and it's
Speaker 1: gonna look amazing because they were gonna do it with
Speaker 1: a dummy and the director was like, that looks like
Speaker 1: a dummy. So Burn was like, well, funk it, I'll
Speaker 1: do it. I'm a crazy bastard. He apparently got caught
Speaker 1: in like this suction when it like he went down
Speaker 1: so quickly and then the suction kind of shoots him out.
Speaker 1: It like tore his clothes off, and he ended up
Speaker 1: like broke him and beaten and like naked, and they're like,
Speaker 1: who's that weird looking naked old man over there? And
Speaker 1: it was Burt Reynolds because he, you know, he had
Speaker 1: just been thrashed crazy and then when they look back

Speaker 1: I think those are. That was a pretty fair smattering.
Speaker 1: It was a good it was a good smattering. All Right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna move it over to Social Studies Sociales Movie.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, I asked about your favorite documentaries
Speaker 1: and you responded in kind with lots of great recommendations.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving this one up because we have like over
Speaker 1: three documentary rex over there on the movie crush page.
Speaker 1: Not movie crushers everyone, and we're just gonna tick down
Speaker 1: some of these. Teresa Tomorrow says, the Human Planet from

Speaker 1: we talked about Dear Zachary on the show before that.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Taylor Ashley, I have not heard
Speaker 1: of this, but she says the Toys that made us
Speaker 1: on Netflix, which I believe is a series. It's fun,
Speaker 1: she said, it's really good. There's one about like Hello
Speaker 1: Kitty and Sanrio Surprise and all that stuff. There's one
Speaker 1: about he Man and Yeah and a lot of the
Speaker 1: cartoons that were like made specifically to market action figures,
Speaker 1: and there's one about Star Wars toys, which I think
Speaker 1: you would probably dig chuck. Yeah, because you're old. Um
Speaker 1: that was getting back at me because of your holes. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she said. It's just a very kind of light, fun,
Speaker 1: nostalgic thing that is kind of welcome. Right. I enjoy it.
Speaker 1: It was like I enjoyed it very much. It's good stuff. Um.
Speaker 1: Benjamin Johnston, grizzly Man and Encounters at the End of
Speaker 1: the World. I don't think I've seen that one, but
Speaker 1: I did see grizzly Man. John Millstep says, hbo is
Speaker 1: going clear, boy, howdy you maint kidding. I took a
Speaker 1: photo to when I was in l a of the
Speaker 1: Scientology productions over there in Los Felis where used to live.
Speaker 1: That's Scientology Central, the celebrity centers over there, one of
Speaker 1: the main buildings the production departments over there. L Ron
Speaker 1: Hubbard Way on the street of what is it, um
Speaker 1: Gilman Street. No, that's in San Francisco. What's the street
Speaker 1: where the big Scientology Center is this night near the
Speaker 1: Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Yeah, that's it. Well, that's the
Speaker 1: Scientology Center is right across the street from UCB. That's
Speaker 1: where I'm thinking of that Franklin, Franklin, Yeah, exactly. I
Speaker 1: love that area. There's a place called the Bourgeois Hig.
Speaker 1: What's over there that I like? Yeah, I used to
Speaker 1: really cool little record store and like bookstore right there.
Speaker 1: I want to say it's called Counterpoint, I think yeah.
Speaker 1: And there's a restaurant right next to UCB called Birds.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. I like a great part of town.
Speaker 1: Dan Maynard says it might get loud. That's the documentary
Speaker 1: Jimmy Page, Jack White and the Edge. Did you ever
Speaker 1: see that? I don't know, man, it seemed a little
Speaker 1: obstributory to well. I enjoyed it, but what I wanted
Speaker 1: was more of the three of them together. And they
Speaker 1: had all those they tackled each one of them individually
Speaker 1: and then finally brought them all together at the end,
Speaker 1: and that was the best part. And I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that should have been the documentary right there. I thought
Speaker 1: it was very interesting and I love, I did love,
Speaker 1: like just the reverence for Jimmy Page from both of them.
Speaker 1: They are both just sort of like, okay, yeah, epic
Speaker 1: legendary guy. Yeah. Uh, Tony Klutvik, great name. Dogtown and
Speaker 1: z Boys agreed much much better than the Lords of
Speaker 1: Dogtown movie that they made, the fictional film Dogtown and
Speaker 1: the z Boys, Right, yeah, Dogtown and z Boys, the
Speaker 1: Dog well all kinds of just early skateboarding mavericks who
Speaker 1: were like sucking fourteen, which is crazy. Joshua Hall says,
Speaker 1: I know that voice. It's about voice actors. I think
Speaker 1: I've seen parts of that. Actually, Vanessa Cashman exit through
Speaker 1: the gift shop of court great Banksy doc. Did you
Speaker 1: see that banks He news he like had has self
Speaker 1: destructed his own painting at Southby's. Oh Man, hello that guy.
Speaker 1: I think everyone was kind of like, I think there
Speaker 1: was a percentage of people that were like, what an ass,
Speaker 1: and then the other the people were like, oh, that's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is apparently it makes the painting
Speaker 1: even more valuable. Well yeah, of course, because it's like
Speaker 1: now it's it's still there and it's been banks Seed. Yeah.
Speaker 1: For those of you don't know banks he has a
Speaker 1: very lovely picture of a girl holding a heart balloon
Speaker 1: that he had framed and uh, this sort of big
Speaker 1: fat frame that kind of looked strange. It turns out
Speaker 1: that the frame had a shredder in the bottom of it.
Speaker 1: No one knew this when it went to auction, sold
Speaker 1: for like one point two or one point four million.
Speaker 1: Somehow he activated it must have been bluetooth or something. No, no,
Speaker 1: there's a video he put on his Oh it shows
Speaker 1: how he did it. Yeah, it shows him making the
Speaker 1: frame and then it shows like footage, like clearly covert
Speaker 1: footage from inside the auction So either him or one
Speaker 1: of the plant Yeah, triggered it remotely, and it like
Speaker 1: the painting passes down through the bottom of the frame
Speaker 1: and and shreds. It's it's it's iconic. It is funny
Speaker 1: that though after I saw that, and like the picture
Speaker 1: is still in there. It's not like its shredded and
Speaker 1: all just flew out, So it's hanging partially shredded down
Speaker 1: below the frame. And as soon as I saw that,
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's gonna be worth even more now.
Speaker 1: And of course that's the case, go Banks, he go.
Speaker 1: But actually, The Gift Shop is such a smart movie
Speaker 1: because I'm not even convinced that it's fully a documentary.
Speaker 1: I think there's parts of it that are like manipulated
Speaker 1: and kind of like, yeah, I don't know, the whole
Speaker 1: Mr Brainwash thing. I don't know if you haven't seen that,
Speaker 1: that's it's a fabulous film. Yeah, it is. I just
Speaker 1: like his whole, his whole jam punking the World. Lorraine
Speaker 1: Ackroyd says, Bowling for Columbine first documentary I saw in
Speaker 1: cinema is so powerful and emotional, especially watching it and
Speaker 1: it packed cinema. Yeah, that was like when you know,
Speaker 1: he he what I think what you will about Michael Moore,
Speaker 1: like he's certainly brought documentary's back to the forefront in
Speaker 1: terms of like being banker and like you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: like playing in theaters theaters, Yeah for real. Uh, Michelle Lambing.
Speaker 1: Crumb immediately came to mind, but O J Made in
Speaker 1: America also close second. Yeah, those are great, Crumb. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite documentaries about the great artist are Crumb. Uh.
Speaker 1: Danny Garland says Hero Dreams of Sushi of course and
Speaker 1: some s o mm about Somalia's wine Somaliers. Uh, Danny
Speaker 1: saw both of those. Those are both great. I only
Speaker 1: see that one popping up on the Netflix, So it's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if you're into wine, you're it's a
Speaker 1: must see, very very intense that uh, master Somalia's tests
Speaker 1: that you have to take very intense. Uh. Jamie Varney says,
Speaker 1: Brothers Keeper from not a well known dock, but it
Speaker 1: took place about thirty miles from me. Um, yeah, totally
Speaker 1: my saw Brothers Keeper. If you're in the true crime
Speaker 1: dig back into that one. Everyone. That's a really really
Speaker 1: good one, very tragic. Tammy Mitchell says, spell Bound the
Speaker 1: best stock of all time. I love that one about
Speaker 1: the spelling Bee kids. Wonderful, really sweet, very very good movie.
Speaker 1: And these are so great documentaries. Does it get any better? Yes? Uh.
Speaker 1: William Anga says, I love this film has not yet
Speaker 1: been rated. In King of Kong, Yeah, those were both great.
Speaker 1: King of Kong was cool, and there was a development
Speaker 1: in that one recently where the the the horrible Billy
Speaker 1: Mitchell who was like kind of the big bully Kong
Speaker 1: guy Donkey Kong that is arcade Champion in that movie. Um,
Speaker 1: he got stripped of his title because he had been
Speaker 1: cheater reading. He was using an emulator as a post
Speaker 1: actually playing it on the console and not the console,
Speaker 1: the cabinet version, and you can actually mess with the
Speaker 1: frame rate on the emulator version, so it's like slower
Speaker 1: or something. There's a way he was doing it where
Speaker 1: he was Duke in the stats? What did jackass Duke
Speaker 1: and the stats? Never heard that one? No, you haven't
Speaker 1: heard Duke in the stats. No, man, we gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta take that wide. I don't know that. I just
Speaker 1: make that. That'd be pretty cool. Duke in the stats?
Speaker 1: Are you typing that ship in now? No? Um, Travis
Speaker 1: Jeremy says, Andre the Giant and HBO agreed. Just saw
Speaker 1: that great, great documentary. Uh. And then finally we'll finish
Speaker 1: with two more. Jimmy, it's joking the stats apparent. I
Speaker 1: like duking the stats better. I've never heard of either one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had joking, really, Jimmy Mallory our old friend. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says huls documentary on the Dana Carvey Show, Too
Speaker 1: Funny to Fail, highlights the Doom Show and how everything
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere was just right for it to not
Speaker 1: work out. Real shame. Uh. Really interesting. I haven't haven't
Speaker 1: heard of that. That sounds really good, though, because I've
Speaker 1: heard about that show, and you know, I had some
Speaker 1: legends on it, Colbert and Smigel and Steve Carrell. Amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to check that out. Jimmy, thanks for
Speaker 1: the wreck. Joking the stats is a specifically from The Wire,
Speaker 1: the show The Wire. Oh really, Yeah, it's what they
Speaker 1: talked about when they're like trying to clear murders or whatever.
Speaker 1: They're trying to like, you know, kind of make the
Speaker 1: murder rate seem lower than it is. They call it
Speaker 1: joking the stat. Joking the stats. I was wondering, but
Speaker 1: I still prefer duking the stats. Interesting. Alright, On that note,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish with UM stream this. That's right what
Speaker 1: I've been watching lately. UM, speaking of The Wire, I've
Speaker 1: been watching The Deuce. Have you seen The Deuce? I've
Speaker 1: heard that it's pretty good on HBO. It is the
Speaker 1: newest show, I guess from creator of The Wire, David Simon,
Speaker 1: and I think he had some some help on this.
Speaker 1: And this wasn't a David Simon production. Yeah, he's working
Speaker 1: with another gentleman named George uh Pelicanos and Um, David
Speaker 1: time Simon brought us The Wire in trim A and
Speaker 1: The Deuce is the story of sort of the early
Speaker 1: days of the sex trade industry in New York City
Speaker 1: in Times Square in the early nineteen seventies. UM and
Speaker 1: it stars well stars, a bunch of great people. Of course,
Speaker 1: because it's David Simon, it's got a huge, huge cast.
Speaker 1: But James Franco was in it, Maggie Jellen Hall is wonderful. Margharita,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you pronounced her name. Leviva. Um,
Speaker 1: she's really great. I've seen her and some other stuff
Speaker 1: Adventureland she was in that. That's good. H Emily Meade,
Speaker 1: Dominic Fishback, Um, a lot a lot of great people
Speaker 1: in this, Gary carr Uh, Lawrence Skiller Jr. Who believe
Speaker 1: he was in The Wire too, Chris Bauer, really really
Speaker 1: good stuff. Huge cast, and because it's David Simon, it's
Speaker 1: got a Wire esque feel and that it Um. There
Speaker 1: are a lot of different storylines interweaving, and I feel
Speaker 1: like in the pilot, maybe even in the first couple
Speaker 1: of episodes, it's just introducing story after story after story,
Speaker 1: and then you know, again because it is a Simon production,
Speaker 1: that they're all sort of gonna weave their ten drils
Speaker 1: through each other. It's gritty, it's realistic as hell, and
Speaker 1: um right sort of yeah, like you know, there are
Speaker 1: sex workers, so um that's going on. But also very
Speaker 1: early going in the series, it's it sort of transforms
Speaker 1: from uh like street level sex workers to them getting
Speaker 1: into porn, porn acting like through the early days of pornography,
Speaker 1: and how that is like a better alternative for them
Speaker 1: than turning tricks you know in Times Square. Uh just
Speaker 1: good stuff though, like there's no uh like, there's no
Speaker 1: judgments cast on these people, I think, which is a
Speaker 1: good way to play this. UM. James Franco plays twin brothers.
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's awesome because it's Franco. That's
Speaker 1: always the dream job though too right, I think so
Speaker 1: to like show that You've got the chops, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's pretty good in it that I was on
Speaker 1: Franco burnout and obviously he had his his me too
Speaker 1: a moment called out and he seems to have weathered
Speaker 1: it okay, because I don't hear a lot of people
Speaker 1: complaining about him. It's an interesting that he decided to
Speaker 1: be in this show two and and this show is
Speaker 1: getting some love, but it's also coming out at a
Speaker 1: time that I think it's tough for a movie about
Speaker 1: sex workers in the seventies UM starring James Franco. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that might be hurting it, I wonder because
Speaker 1: it's not. It hasn't blown up. Season two just came
Speaker 1: out though, and it's a very expensive show. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they already committed to a season three and apparently it's
Speaker 1: a one to three and done like they have it,
Speaker 1: and I think they're they're jumping ahead. I think season
Speaker 1: two is I haven't gotten into that yet, but I
Speaker 1: think that goes into the eighties and I think they
Speaker 1: may be going into the nineties for season three. So
Speaker 1: it's almost like a Boogie Nights kind of thing where
Speaker 1: olden age of film and pornography and then into the
Speaker 1: eighties when it's like all VHS and video and the
Speaker 1: production value. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Good show though. I
Speaker 1: like it. I mean it's, um, you kind of want
Speaker 1: to take a bath after you watch episodes. It's not
Speaker 1: like heartwarming and fun, but uh, it's good stuff, gritty,
Speaker 1: gritty TV. So I recommended everyone The Deuce on HBO.
Speaker 1: If you don't have HBO, just I'll post my HBO
Speaker 1: go log in and everyone can just watch it. I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. I want to do that. All right. That's
Speaker 1: it for this week. Nol Uh. This was a bit
Speaker 1: of a shorter one We're gonna get into Comic Card
Speaker 1: and ensuing episodes, but for today, that is all we
Speaker 1: have here on Mini Crush, and we look forward to
Speaker 1: you joining us next Monday. Good
