Speaker 2: What kind of a show you guys putting on here today?
Speaker 3: You're not interested in armed? Now?
Speaker 1: No, Look, we're going to do this thing.
Speaker 2: We're going to have a conversation, hey, film spotters for
Speaker 2: our Wednesday archive drop. We always try to find a
Speaker 2: connection to something happening in the movie world this week.
Speaker 2: Usually that's whatever we're going to be talking about and
Speaker 2: dropping into your feed on Friday show. But coming this
Speaker 2: Friday is our top five movies of the year so far.
Speaker 2: We thought we would go the what Pope Pirie route?
Speaker 2: We would just go go general here and pick out
Speaker 2: a top five that I have long said. This was
Speaker 2: Sam's idea, but I have long said that this top
Speaker 2: five is one of my favorite top fives in the
Speaker 2: show history. Now I've not gone back to listen to it.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's bad, but conceptually, it's one of my favorite
Speaker 2: top fives in the show's history.
Speaker 1: Well to that point, without naming any of them, but
Speaker 1: we have our list of picks here. There's obviously a thing.
Speaker 1: Tattoo regret is a real thing, right, That's why some
Speaker 1: people have them removed, as you just without listening to
Speaker 1: your reasoning, But as you just look at these images
Speaker 1: you proposed you would put on your body, you have
Speaker 1: clear regret for any of the picks, thinking of them
Speaker 1: as tattoos not movies.
Speaker 2: I do not. I have no regret about picking any
Speaker 2: of these. In fact, Josh, my regret is that I
Speaker 2: haven't gotten any of them tattooed on my body. Wow,
Speaker 2: that is my only regret.
Speaker 1: Yeah, moving closer to getting an actual tattoo, I am.
Speaker 2: I think my number one at least once a week,
Speaker 2: including I mean right now, as in this week that
Speaker 2: we are currently in. I think about getting my number
Speaker 2: one still, and it's it's gonna happen. I am going
Speaker 2: to get it done at some point. Yes, it's just
Speaker 2: a matter of how well and where because why yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah where? But also there are two different ways it
Speaker 2: could happen, because there's yeah, there's a visual component but
Speaker 2: also a text component. So do I go the visual
Speaker 2: route or do I go the text route? I haven't decided.
Speaker 1: You have I think three text picks mm hmm, and
Speaker 1: I don't think I have any looking at mine, which
Speaker 1: is interesting. So yeah, we should probably leave it at
Speaker 1: that at this point and not spoil any more of
Speaker 1: our actual picks.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go the top five movie tattoos in
Speaker 2: my case that I'd get and that Josh will never
Speaker 2: in no way consider getting.
Speaker 1: I mean number one is still in play. Like number one,
Speaker 1: I could actually see happening at some point. I gotta wait.
Speaker 1: I gotta wait till my you know, return hired sailor
Speaker 1: phase of life, which I'm getting there, but I'm not
Speaker 1: quite there yet.
Speaker 2: Enter that soon that would be fun. Here you go
Speaker 2: from twenty fourteen. I know you've been out, what you've
Speaker 2: been out of your room? Oh?
Speaker 3: I haven't, Paul, my.
Speaker 1: Little ceramic penguin in the study always faces due south.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about, saramic penguin.
Speaker 4: Is this what you're looking for?
Speaker 2: Well, if that scene from nineteen nineties Misery with Kathy
Speaker 2: Bates and James Khn doesn't evoke a specific image. Let
Speaker 2: me help you out. Baits as Andy Wilkes in close
Speaker 2: up holding a butcher knife up to her face, staring
Speaker 2: down at Kahn, who's strapped down in a bed. Now
Speaker 2: imagine encountering that image tattooed on someone's leg. Yes, it's
Speaker 2: top five time. This week we're sharing the top five
Speaker 2: movie tattoos that we'd get. Kathy Bates, Josh, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: guess not making your list.
Speaker 1: Nah, you know, I thought about her, but I decided
Speaker 1: to go with Richard Farnsworth from Misery.
Speaker 2: A Deep Cut. I like it. That Misery tattoo was
Speaker 2: among those that Film Spotting listeners sent in. We got
Speaker 2: an email from listener Franco as mal I hope I'm
Speaker 2: saying that right, longtime listener, I believe in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: He submitted it, which is, according to him, a friend's tattoo.
Speaker 1: Sure, Franco a friend.
Speaker 2: If you want to see that tattoo and be terrified
Speaker 2: by it plus more, listener inc. Go to our producer,
Speaker 2: one of our producers, Sam van Halgren, his tumbler. It's
Speaker 2: Sam Vanhlgren dot tumblr dot com and you can also
Speaker 2: find a link to that in our show notes, but
Speaker 2: we've been collecting him. There there's four or five that
Speaker 2: have already been posted from last week, and by the
Speaker 2: time you hear the show and visit you'll see even more.
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff, a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1: This whole topic really has been generated by listeners, right.
Speaker 2: That's true, and they really responded as well. But we
Speaker 2: did initially get this idea from some listener comments back
Speaker 2: on episode four eighty eight. A few weeks ago, we
Speaker 2: read some poll feedback from Joshua Carrell and Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 2: It was in response to one of our death matches.
Speaker 2: We pitted Jim Jarmish versus John Sales, and he defended
Speaker 2: his Jarmish pick by saying, I've got a tattoo of
Speaker 2: Eva's cassette player from Jarmish's Stranger Than Paradise, And I
Speaker 2: think you joked that basically we should commit to our
Speaker 2: picks in such a fashion and get tattoos. And I
Speaker 2: threw out listeners, if you've got a tattoo, we want
Speaker 2: to see them. Well, one listener took that even a
Speaker 2: step further. Kyle and Albuquerque wrote in.
Speaker 1: Hey, Adam and josh just listen to episode forty eight
Speaker 1: and heard about the guy with the tattoo. Instead of
Speaker 1: getting your top five list tattooed, how about using that
Speaker 1: as a top five topic, top five movies that you
Speaker 1: would tattoo on your body, and what would the tattoo be?
Speaker 1: Thanks for the show, guys.
Speaker 2: So I teased this a little bit last week, and
Speaker 2: I mentioned that when I first got that email from Kyle,
Speaker 2: my response was, that's brilliant. It's such a good idea,
Speaker 2: but also so absurd and ridiculous that there's no way
Speaker 2: we're going to do it. It would just be too hard,
Speaker 2: and well, it would just be too hard, frankly. And
Speaker 2: then the more I thought about it, I realized that
Speaker 2: not only could we do it, if we really put
Speaker 2: our minds to it, we should do it.
Speaker 1: Josh, here's a moral careative making lists, not getting tattoos.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see how the list go. I think we
Speaker 2: could end up there. But I thought this was one
Speaker 2: of those very personal lists which are always the best
Speaker 2: top fives, so it could rival the site and sound
Speaker 2: where we named our top ten favorite films basically of
Speaker 2: all time, or what we did on our four hundredth show,
Speaker 2: the live episode where we did the top five things
Speaker 2: we learned from the movies. These are picks that nobody
Speaker 2: can really write in and say you got it wrong?
Speaker 2: How did you forget this? Everyone's going to have a
Speaker 2: unique list. So we're going to get to our list
Speaker 2: here in a minute. But if we go back to
Speaker 2: Joshua from Portland, it is funny because after hearing Kyle's
Speaker 2: email on last week's show, we got an email from
Speaker 2: him and it turns out he's actually gone and done
Speaker 2: what we surely almost will only talk about doing. He
Speaker 2: chose an icon from each of his five favorite films
Speaker 2: and got them tattooed right in a line from risk
Speaker 2: to elbow. So if you want to see that, that
Speaker 2: again is over at Sam's tumbler.
Speaker 1: But it's really something impressive.
Speaker 2: So inspiration from listeners, and we are getting a lot
Speaker 2: of comments with ideas and pictures, and we love it
Speaker 2: when we get that kind of response where we really
Speaker 2: see the passion that you have to have for a
Speaker 2: movie in order to put it on your body forever.
Speaker 2: So with that, josh that brings us to our list.
Speaker 2: You were initially a little bit hesitant, a little bit
Speaker 2: unsure of the topic, but I think you had a
Speaker 2: little bit of a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: I did have a breakthrough, and my number five is
Speaker 1: where it came. Actually, Sam suggested to me when I
Speaker 1: was saying how difficult this was, He suggested, come on,
Speaker 1: this is easy. How about an umbrella for the umbrellas
Speaker 1: of Cherbor. Yeah, that's structor Jacques de Mes nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: four attempt to out musical the Hollywood musical stars Catherine
Speaker 1: Deneuve and Nino Castel Nuevo as young lovers who are
Speaker 1: interrupted by the Algerian Wars. So, yeah, makes sense. I
Speaker 1: didn't name it on that Citan Sound top ten of
Speaker 1: all time lists we made, But does it really mean
Speaker 1: enough to me to get a tattoo of it on
Speaker 1: my body?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: When say I mentioned, I understood why, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is it that personal of a film? Well? Then I
Speaker 1: remember that Singing in the Rain, uh also prominently features
Speaker 1: an umbrella in its most famous scene.
Speaker 3: In Rain. Yes, and in the Rain, what a glorious feel?
Speaker 2: And I'm again.
Speaker 1: So suddenly the umbrella tattoo idea, you know, becomes not
Speaker 1: only a nod to two of the all time great musicals,
Speaker 1: but also to the entire genre and musicals. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a genre that my Star Wars loving preteen self
Speaker 1: would never have cared for or even really considered. Right
Speaker 1: it was grandma genre or something like that. But it's
Speaker 1: one of those that as I've gotten more into film
Speaker 1: and started to explore different types and periods and so forth,
Speaker 1: I've really come to appreciate. It's one of my favorite genres,
Speaker 1: probably now as a movie mad grown up. So this
Speaker 1: umbrella tattoo would also be something like a nod to
Speaker 1: the broadening of horizons or maybe the film journey I've
Speaker 1: taken a little bit. So yeah, I think Sam was
Speaker 1: on something there, and the umbrella tattoo would be my
Speaker 1: number five, tying it in with umbrellas of Shareboar and
Speaker 1: Singing in the Rain. Now, Okay, we didn't discuss this,
Speaker 1: but I gave this some thought too. Where each of
Speaker 1: these are gonna go.
Speaker 2: I thought about it a little bit as well.
Speaker 1: Good, I think I'm going to go lower back for
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: So lower back, Yeah, start at the lower back. It's
Speaker 2: a trump stamp of an umbrella.
Speaker 1: Of an umbrella. Well maybe off to the side, I
Speaker 1: think then it's not a tramp staff.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, I took this list very seriously Josh, because
Speaker 2: as we said, it's so personal, and the Pantheon in
Speaker 2: fact was eligible for it because we're thinking about these
Speaker 2: films that have so much meaning for us, we have
Speaker 2: to consider the movies that we've locked away as being
Speaker 2: among our favorite of all time. It turns out none
Speaker 2: of my picks come from our pantheon, but one of them,
Speaker 2: my number two pick, was a contender at one point
Speaker 2: to be anointed and surely will be again at some point.
Speaker 2: And it made an appearance on my penalty box as
Speaker 2: well because it had come up a few times. So
Speaker 2: we'll get to that. But one of the things I
Speaker 2: really wrestled with, and I think I found sort of
Speaker 2: a happy medium of my picks, is whether or not
Speaker 2: I was going to go with images or words or
Speaker 2: a combination of both. And I was really pushing myself
Speaker 2: to pick images because it's a visual medium. But I
Speaker 2: was arguing about that with our producer Sam, and he said,
Speaker 2: of course, it's a visual medium, but quotes are the
Speaker 2: currency of movie conversation. Movie image tattoos invariably seem too
Speaker 2: explicit to me. Movie quotes are like a secret code
Speaker 2: with film lovers, which I think is really well expressed,
Speaker 2: and I think there's some truth to it, but I
Speaker 2: did want to find a balance. I wanted to focus
Speaker 2: first on images over text and see if I could
Speaker 2: maybe combine them a little bit. And the fact is,
Speaker 2: even though quotes are the currency of movie conversation, so
Speaker 2: were great images. Sometimes there's something really wonderful about being
Speaker 2: able to put up just a still frame from a
Speaker 2: film that doesn't explicitly have a character in it and
Speaker 2: know that someone else next to you knows exactly what
Speaker 2: you're talking about. You can have that kind of bond
Speaker 2: over movie images. I also thought about this in the realm, Josh,
Speaker 2: We've been joking about whether or not we're actually going
Speaker 2: to get any of these tattoos. I at least wanted
Speaker 2: to force myself. I had to give myself some stakes
Speaker 2: to this top five, and this really had to be
Speaker 2: not just theoretical. It had to be a case where
Speaker 2: I could actually envision myself going to do this, So
Speaker 2: it really had to mean something to me personally. And
Speaker 2: after I made my picks, I went back and realized
Speaker 2: that there was sort of an unofficial memorial list pick
Speaker 2: here for my top five, and I guess I could
Speaker 2: call it the night play Chess with Death or the
Speaker 2: Dance of Death could go with either image from Igmar
Speaker 2: Bergmann's The Seventh Seal. It doesn't apply to all of
Speaker 2: my picks, but it is a theme, and I guess
Speaker 2: for me it's the theme mortality, the reckoning, with the
Speaker 2: mystery and meaning of our existence. And that's appropriate because
Speaker 2: tattoos are supposed to last forever. They are emblems of
Speaker 2: permanence that underscore are impermanent. It's because they last only
Speaker 2: as long as our bodies do. They also speak to
Speaker 2: the fundamental human desire to leave a mark, to say
Speaker 2: this is what I stood for before we shuffle off
Speaker 2: this mortal coil. So it only did seem fitting that
Speaker 2: a lot of my picks wrestled with this, which brings
Speaker 2: us finally to my number five pick. It's inspired by
Speaker 2: the movie Never Let Me Go, my favorite film of
Speaker 2: twenty ten, based on the Kazuo Ishiguro novel, and for
Speaker 2: those who haven't seen it, I won't spoil anything. Maybe
Speaker 2: the plot description The simple synopsis from IMDb says it
Speaker 2: best when it talks about three friends who come of
Speaker 2: age at a mysterious secluded boarding school and they're destined
Speaker 2: to lead brief lives. The line that my tattoo is
Speaker 2: going to be taken from is a line that is
Speaker 2: basically lifted right out of the novel. It's where in
Speaker 2: the movie Carrie Mulligan, our main character throughout most of
Speaker 2: the film our eyes to this world. She says, I
Speaker 2: remind myself I was lucky to have had any time
Speaker 2: with him at all.
Speaker 4: What I'm not sure about is if our lives been
Speaker 4: so different from the lives of the people we save,
Speaker 4: we all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what
Speaker 4: we've lived through. We'll feel we've had enough time.
Speaker 2: So that phrase we all complete. That's something that really
Speaker 2: had a profound impact on me. And I suppose it's
Speaker 2: just on its face mysterious and deep sounding. It's the
Speaker 2: kind of phrase if someone saw it on your body,
Speaker 2: they want to hear the story behind it, or in
Speaker 2: lieu of an obvious explanation, it's something they would ponder.
Speaker 2: The word complete is really the key. It has a
Speaker 2: specific meaning in the universe of this story if you've
Speaker 2: seen the film, but it's fairly clear what she's referring to.
Speaker 2: It's inevitable that we are going to degrade and die,
Speaker 2: but there's something about the word complete that doesn't make
Speaker 2: it seem so terrifying and miserable, right, it makes it
Speaker 2: seem natural and acceptable, which is how I'd like death
Speaker 2: to seem anyway. And there's of course something unifying and
Speaker 2: humanistic about that phrase as well. It says, no matter
Speaker 2: our difference is, no matter the specifics of our lives
Speaker 2: and our deaths, we all have the same laments. And
Speaker 2: that's a very beautiful thought to me. So I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if I would just go with that phrase or
Speaker 2: I would go with that phrase, And maybe some image
Speaker 2: from the film. There's that great poster shot which as
Speaker 2: Andrew Garfield and Carrie Mulligan running along Cleveden Pier it's
Speaker 2: in Somerset, England, just a very beautiful evocative image. Or
Speaker 2: the trinkets, the toys we see in the movie where
Speaker 2: these kids at the school it's their big sort of
Speaker 2: jamboree where all of a sudden someone shows up with
Speaker 2: these old castaway toys that clearly have been used and
Speaker 2: not really loved at all, and for them it's so
Speaker 2: meaningful in such an important day. And I always loved
Speaker 2: the symbolism of that because these kids see these nickknacks
Speaker 2: that seem to be valueless but are invaluable to them.
Speaker 2: And there's this notion that anything matters as long as
Speaker 2: somebody cares about it, if someone assigns value to it,
Speaker 2: And that is another aspect of the book that really
Speaker 2: stuck with me. So never let me go.
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the text?
Speaker 2: You got to pick one that would be the lead,
Speaker 2: Start with the text, and maybe try to build an
Speaker 2: image around it, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wrestled with that too, whether to go with
Speaker 1: text or images. I ended up choosing all images, so
Speaker 1: considered a few texts, but when all images. So my
Speaker 1: number four actually is a logo and combination of text
Speaker 1: and image. I guess it comes from a Wes Anderson
Speaker 1: film because I wanted to choose something from one of
Speaker 1: his pictures, because he's probably my favorite working filmmaker, as
Speaker 1: listeners well know, and really there's no shortage of options
Speaker 1: when you're starting to think about this. Speaking of text,
Speaker 1: I could have gone with, I say, Latin from Rushmore
Speaker 1: or something like that. An image might be the silhouette
Speaker 1: of the wolf giving the fist pump at the end
Speaker 1: of Fantastic Mister Fox. I love that image. Maybe even
Speaker 1: a bottle rocket where it all started, or Steve's Sue's submarine.
Speaker 1: You know, a nice nod to the Beatles there too,
Speaker 1: So it works.
Speaker 2: I sense a whole Wes Anderson's sleeve. Josh.
Speaker 1: You could go many many directions. I narrowed in on
Speaker 1: one that Anderson has already given us because he's so fussy.
Speaker 1: He likes these sorts of things like logos and scripts
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing, and so we have the
Speaker 1: teams issue logo, that grouping of Z's from The Life
Speaker 1: Aquatic with Steve Zazou. I do think this is representative
Speaker 1: of one of the things that resonates with me about
Speaker 1: his films too, though they so often deal with this
Speaker 1: sense of belonging to a group, a group that needs
Speaker 1: or wants something like a logo, right, or a motto
Speaker 1: or some symbol of their togetherness. Almost all of his
Speaker 1: groups have that, and really just about every one of
Speaker 1: his films except interestingly, you could argue maybe The Grand
Speaker 1: Budapest Hotel doesn't do this, but most of his films
Speaker 1: are about the creating or sustaining or restoring of a community.
Speaker 1: I also do like choosing something from the Life Aquatic
Speaker 1: because I get the sense that what seems to separate
Speaker 1: an Anderson fan from an Anderson fanatic is whether or
Speaker 1: not you go for this movie. It's kind of a
Speaker 1: tipping point movie, and to choose something from an Anderson
Speaker 1: film too feels to me from everything on this list
Speaker 1: more in line with how you should get a tattoo. Okay,
Speaker 1: because I'm in the midst of the fandom right now,
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily looking back on something I've appreciated for
Speaker 1: a long time, and I feel like that's when people
Speaker 1: do get a lot of tattoos. And there could be
Speaker 1: a downside to this, because you know, maybe they're going
Speaker 1: to put out, say a really terrible album. The next
Speaker 1: album is going to be horrible, and you're going to
Speaker 1: regret that tattoo. Maybe Anderson's got a horrible film ahead
Speaker 1: of them. I'll have be stuck with my tattoo. But
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's that's kind of how they should work. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, that's a great point. And I'm guessing there's someone
Speaker 2: out there listening who's going to email us not only
Speaker 2: a Wes Anderson tattoo, which actually we've already seen.
Speaker 1: The Royal Tenen bombs.
Speaker 2: Kenny Meyer with his ten and bombs Margo and Richie.
Speaker 2: But there's got to be a team Zisu test.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure maybe where I'm going to put
Speaker 1: it on upper arm, you know, just below the shoulders.
Speaker 2: You're right though, that to do something like this, they
Speaker 2: have to be timeless. There has to be something timeless
Speaker 2: about them, right right, versus picking some thing that you
Speaker 2: could really change your mind about two weeks or two
Speaker 2: years later. So good pick. Even though I'm one of
Speaker 2: those people, I think that's well said. Who maybe that
Speaker 2: movie does separate me as just a Wes Anderson fan
Speaker 2: and not a full blown fanatic. My number four tattoo
Speaker 2: that I might actually get is the image of Alan
Speaker 2: de Lan and his fedora from Les Samurai Oh Good,
Speaker 2: the Jean Pierre Melville film. If you've seen the Criterion
Speaker 2: collection cover image, it's Delan as Jeff Costello in profile
Speaker 2: and he's got his finger touching the tip of his hat. This,
Speaker 2: for me, Josh, is my aspirational tattoo. See, not all
Speaker 2: my picks are going to be totally focused on death
Speaker 2: and really kind of.
Speaker 1: But that's what I was going to say. Tattoos, a
Speaker 1: lot of times are the guy you want to be,
Speaker 1: the guy you want to be.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what this is. It's the tattoo I want
Speaker 2: because it's cool, and there's nobody cooler to me in
Speaker 2: the history of cinema than Alan Deolan from Le Samurai.
Speaker 2: I could never look like him, I could never carry
Speaker 2: myself like him, but I would love Josh to be
Speaker 2: the strong, silent, mysterious type, always calm and in control,
Speaker 2: never outwardly vulnerable, someone who reads people rather than wearing
Speaker 2: all of his emotions on his sleeve like I tend
Speaker 2: to do, and constantly expressing whatever's on my mind at
Speaker 2: any given moment. All that is what I do aspire
Speaker 2: to be and probably never will come close. I also
Speaker 2: love that he's a professional, someone who is really good
Speaker 2: at what he does, and those characters are among my
Speaker 2: favorite to watch on screen. This is a film Les
Speaker 2: Samurai that was discussed on the show maybe four or
Speaker 2: five years ago. I think it was a listener's choice pick.
Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, but you've seen Ghost Dog,
Speaker 2: the Jim Jarmish film, you'll see a lot of similarities.
Speaker 2: Clearly an influence on Jarmish. As I think back on that,
Speaker 2: Jeff Costello character his life of solitude and ultimately tragedy
Speaker 2: isn't one I really want to emulate, or do I
Speaker 2: think most people want to emulate. But as a visage
Speaker 2: of cool, it's tough to be and I think if
Speaker 2: I was going to get it, i'd probably get it
Speaker 2: on my arm right up there by my shoulder and
Speaker 2: basically would be facing out right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Well, my number three, I should
Speaker 1: probably point out, is not an aspirational tech okay, because
Speaker 1: it's the blue ferry from Pinocchio. And my mind went
Speaker 1: here because Pinocchio is another cit and Sound type list
Speaker 1: pick that I made top ten film of all time
Speaker 1: for me. It was also my number one traditionally animated
Speaker 1: film when we did that list a while back, So
Speaker 1: the pick feels right. But it also forced me to consider,
Speaker 1: really consider why I respond to animation so strongly, why
Speaker 1: it does seem to speak to me in a special way.
Speaker 1: And I think part of it is, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just purely because it's something I'm incapable of doing myself.
Speaker 1: I've never been able to draw, so I'm in awe
Speaker 1: of that sort of artistry. But I do also think
Speaker 1: that animation best captures the sense of wonder that first
Speaker 1: drew me to the movies and continues to sustain my
Speaker 1: passion for them. It's probably also why I'm more eager
Speaker 1: to embrace whimsy or fantasy films like that. I mean, animation,
Speaker 1: It just seems to it simply has more possible ability
Speaker 1: than live action. At least in my mind, anything can happen.
Speaker 1: And that's even really the case for stories that you know,
Speaker 1: you know, even though we know the tale of Pinocchio.
Speaker 1: A part of the delight is seeing how the animators
Speaker 1: are going to envision this wild tale. As I live
Speaker 1: and breathe a fairy. Oh good, geppetto.
Speaker 2: You have given so much happiness to others.
Speaker 1: You deserve to have your wish come true, little puppet
Speaker 1: made of pine.
Speaker 4: Wait, the gift of life is bye what they can't
Speaker 4: do these days?
Speaker 1: All right? So now why the blue fairy in particular
Speaker 1: from Pinocchio. Well, if you're going to go with a
Speaker 1: woman figure, which is a common tattoo direction, she's more
Speaker 1: my tattoo style than something like, you know, a topless
Speaker 1: mermaid or something like that. Really what I'm.
Speaker 2: Looking for there's a sailor Josh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, No, never been a sailor. Plus there's the
Speaker 1: bonus fact with the Blue Fairy though that she has
Speaker 1: a cameo and Steven Spielberg's best film what might be
Speaker 1: his best film. Still not positive about that, but AI
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence is certainly up there. So with a Blue
Speaker 1: Fairy tattoo, I get a Spielberg tip of the hat
Speaker 1: as well. Probably put this one on my other arm,
Speaker 1: just below the shoulder. Are you getting a visual here?
Speaker 2: I am, it's really coming through loud and clear. Well.
Speaker 2: My number three a nice balance of sorts. In response
Speaker 2: to my number four pick, we go from the coolest
Speaker 2: character in cinema a land Along from les Samurai to
Speaker 2: the uncoolest William Miller with his microphone from Cameron Crow's
Speaker 2: Almost Famous, And I would use some form of that
Speaker 2: phrase that conversation he has with Philip Seymour Hoffman's Lester
Speaker 2: Bangs when he tells him the only true currency in
Speaker 2: this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when
Speaker 2: you're uncool.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you, I'm always home, I'm onn cool.
Speaker 2: Whether it's that phrase the uncool or we are uncool,
Speaker 2: I would incorporate that somehow. But I would use that
Speaker 2: image as well. And for people who have been following
Speaker 2: us on Twitter for a while or go to the
Speaker 2: film Spotting Facebook page, this isn't a surprise. They know
Speaker 2: that I've had this image for years as my avatar,
Speaker 2: going back to the very first message board I was
Speaker 2: ever on, probably in two thousand and one or two
Speaker 2: thousand and two. So not an aspirational pick, not the man,
Speaker 2: not the character I want to be, but more like
Speaker 2: the character I actually am. And part of my choosing
Speaker 2: this and going with this for so many years as
Speaker 2: I have is, as I have noted a million times
Speaker 2: here on the show, it is the first movie I
Speaker 2: ever reviewed, almost famous. It was purely by accident. It
Speaker 2: just happened to open the weekend I started writing reviews
Speaker 2: for the Daily Iowa. So there is that sentimental attachment
Speaker 2: to it. I loved the movie when it came out.
Speaker 2: Part of it, though, is also that it does represent me.
Speaker 2: I think it's the guy with the microphone trying to
Speaker 2: express himself, trying to get others to express themselves. And
Speaker 2: I got into movies with the same passion. William Miller
Speaker 2: gets into music where he has a breakthrough. He has
Speaker 2: an epiphany and he just becomes obsessed with it. I
Speaker 2: became fascinated as well by not just art of all kinds,
Speaker 2: but specifically artists and the creative process around the same
Speaker 2: age William is in the movie, and with the same fervor.
Speaker 2: That fascination and passion is what that smile on his
Speaker 2: face if you know the image I'm talking about, it's
Speaker 2: just as he leans in to interview Russell at the
Speaker 2: end of Almost Famous. That's what that represents for me,
Speaker 2: that leaning forward, even it reflects his curiosity. This isn't
Speaker 2: a passive thing for him. It's very active. He's an
Speaker 2: engaged learner and he just wants to know as much
Speaker 2: as he can. I of course agree with the sentiment
Speaker 2: as well, so eloquently expressed by Lester Bangs there. So
Speaker 2: maybe what I do, Josh, actually this occurred to me
Speaker 2: is maybe on my right arm, I've got le Samurai
Speaker 2: and I've got William Miller on the other.
Speaker 1: You go.
Speaker 2: So it's not love and hate, right like Robert Mitcham
Speaker 2: Knight of the Hunter. But I've got cool and uncool
Speaker 2: all right to keep me in check at all times.
Speaker 1: You know what's good about that? Though? Tattoo should also
Speaker 1: be a time marker maybe or an event marker. So yeah,
Speaker 1: to mark that first review and that lined up so well,
Speaker 1: I do that. I'm not gonna do that because my
Speaker 1: first published review was of Interview with a Vampire and
Speaker 1: I don't need come on a pasty brad Pitt on
Speaker 1: my body.
Speaker 2: Oh I love to see that, all right.
Speaker 1: Number two is belt Aasarre, the Donkey from Al Hazard
Speaker 1: Belt as I can call it. You did, you went
Speaker 1: there right away? It came to my mind right away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got me pegged. It is my favorite Bissan film.
Speaker 1: It's the one that speaks to the sort of religious
Speaker 1: wrestling that defines his movies and does make him such
Speaker 1: a continually rich cinematic figure for me. And the wrestling
Speaker 1: is what is key. I mean, Barisson's movies there are
Speaker 1: more questions than answers. I feel like after we did
Speaker 1: that marathon is what stood out to me. Sometimes they're
Speaker 1: really angry questions. I mean, he certainly these movies certainly
Speaker 1: would not make for good testimonials, But it's the ass
Speaker 1: skin that means so much to me, especially when it's
Speaker 1: done as jarringly and artfully as it is in Brassan's
Speaker 1: you know, really stark elemental films, So a tattoo of
Speaker 1: Beltasar it kind of would be this continual reminder of
Speaker 1: that that sometimes asking the questions can be more important
Speaker 1: than having the answers. Even so, if I chose a
Speaker 1: shot from this, I'm thinking it might be the one
Speaker 1: of Baltasar's head when he's wearing the crown of flowers
Speaker 1: that Marie makes for him. Obviously there's all sorts of
Speaker 1: Christian implications to that image as well, So this one,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna probably put this one on my shoulder, on
Speaker 1: my back, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, Yeah, I did know what was coming,
Speaker 2: but it's inspired. Even if people would just think you're
Speaker 2: a diehard Democrat.
Speaker 1: That's true. Well to somehow distinction clear Possibly those flowers
Speaker 1: will do it.
Speaker 2: My number two is the first one I thought about.
Speaker 2: It's the only one I had for about a week
Speaker 2: when we first agreed to focus on this topic, and
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be my number one,
Speaker 2: and something just edged it out at the last minute.
Speaker 2: And as I look back at my list, here real quick,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing if you did some Google image searches, you're
Speaker 2: gonna find a few almost famous related tattoos out there,
Speaker 2: probably not completely unheard of, probably a few le samurai,
Speaker 2: maybe not any Never let me go tattoos that might
Speaker 2: be I think that unique. But sure enough, I knew
Speaker 2: if I googled this it would return a bunch of results,
Speaker 2: and it did. It's from the movie Blade Runner, the
Speaker 2: tears in Rain soliloquy delivered by Roy Batty, of course,
Speaker 2: played by Rutger Hower at the end of that film.
Speaker 2: If you google it or go to Tumblr, you'll find
Speaker 2: all sorts of combinations of that phrase tears in Rain.
Speaker 2: Some people have the whole soliloquy somewhere on their body,
Speaker 2: or they combine that with the face of Roy Batty.
Speaker 2: It is the ultimate validation of his humanity. And he's
Speaker 2: of course not a human, he's a replicant. But nevertheless,
Speaker 2: that is what he's expressing and exposing there. His dying
Speaker 2: is that expression, and that speech is his testimony. His audience,
Speaker 2: if you will, is basically bearing witness to his remarkable life,
Speaker 2: and it's ultimately the validation that he made some kind
Speaker 2: of mark in this world. It's almost a model, he suggests,
Speaker 2: I think to strive for while also being understandably wistful
Speaker 2: and melancholy.
Speaker 3: I've seen things good people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on
Speaker 3: fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched sea beams
Speaker 3: glittering in the darkneded ten hours a game.
Speaker 2: All those.
Speaker 3: Moments will be lost in time, like tears end rain,
Speaker 3: time to die.
Speaker 2: There's no better death speech, just final word zone.
Speaker 1: With time to die and nothing else.
Speaker 2: No, I would probably end on tears in rain. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty bleak here, Josh, but I'm gonna go with tears
Speaker 2: in rain. It's just so wonderfully evocative. What are sea beams?
Speaker 2: Why would they be glittering? What's the Tannheuser gait? These
Speaker 2: are things that should be meaningless and essentially are to
Speaker 2: us the Tanheuser Gate's not a place we have any
Speaker 2: attachment to, but we don't need it. They simply sound
Speaker 2: wondrous and beautiful. And that tears in Rain simile is
Speaker 2: so perfect. Of course, you can't distinguish tears from rain
Speaker 2: drops on someone's face, just as these moments that he
Speaker 2: describes in the grand Scheme of time are indistinguishable from
Speaker 2: others and are inconsequential. But what else do we have
Speaker 2: to strive for, but those types of experiences to do
Speaker 2: something that is of consequence. That's with that speech, not
Speaker 2: just summing up that existential dilemma so well as I
Speaker 2: believe it does and so eloquently, but also giving us
Speaker 2: kind of a path, giving us some kind of model
Speaker 2: to strive for. That's what's always stuck out to me
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is one I think you do. Go
Speaker 1: with the text where it has to be. It works
Speaker 1: better than the images actually, because if Scott didn't feel
Speaker 1: the need to image what's being spoken, you know, why
Speaker 1: should you with a tattoo of it? So absolutely okay,
Speaker 1: number one time, and my number one is actually the
Speaker 1: only tattoo I've ever really considered getting. I'll be it
Speaker 1: a long long time ago.
Speaker 2: Well, let's just be honest with our listeners. I mean,
Speaker 2: we are going and getting these tattoos, right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what this list was all about. Now you say it, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you're locked into this, Josh. As soon as
Speaker 2: you say it, it's done.
Speaker 1: See what our number ones are the whole list? Are
Speaker 1: we going to five? N one? Five through one down
Speaker 1: the number ones?
Speaker 2: Hey, if you're not going to put it all on
Speaker 2: the line, you've got to have some stakes here, josh.
Speaker 1: You haven't opened the Jack Day, and you'll see that
Speaker 1: even that's true. All right, It's going to be a
Speaker 1: silhouette of a Joshua Tree from youtuwo's Joshua Tree album. Now,
Speaker 1: the movie I'm tying this to, of course, is Rattle
Speaker 1: and Hum. Really yeah, well it comes from the Joshua Tree.
Speaker 1: But that concert film documented their Joshua Tree tour. So
Speaker 1: even though it resulted in its own realm hum albums,
Speaker 1: for me, this works. Now, why did I consider this tattoo?
Speaker 1: You know, it was around college time. We'll keep in
Speaker 1: mind that I was thirteen when Joshua Tree came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty seven, so I was just really getting
Speaker 1: into music at that point. So this album was mind
Speaker 1: blowing for me. And then being at that age and
Speaker 1: being able to discover YouTube's earlier stuff, getting to experience
Speaker 1: something like Octune Baby, you know first hand. All of
Speaker 1: that solidified my connection to the band. And then as
Speaker 1: I got older, the way you two and mostly Bono
Speaker 1: really managed faith and popular culture was really formative for me.
Speaker 1: He's really one of those rarities I think of people
Speaker 1: like maybe a Staples or even someone like Stephen Colbert maybe,
Speaker 1: who's managed to create this space where the two things
Speaker 1: fruitfully inform each other. They don't seem to be at
Speaker 1: odds at all. Now, Rattle and Home. You scoffed at
Speaker 1: my pick of that film because it doesn't have the
Speaker 1: reputation as the greatest concert movie.
Speaker 2: Well, I scoffed, actually because I just got done listening
Speaker 2: to the audio book of one of Chuck Klosterman's collection
Speaker 2: of essays. I think it was I Wear the Black Hat,
Speaker 2: and I don't remember the context of why Rattle and
Speaker 2: Hum came up, but he just eviscerates it that one line.
Speaker 1: It didn't impress the critics when I came out. But
Speaker 1: this is also going back to fandom and for me
Speaker 1: having that connection with the band, coming to know the
Speaker 1: music at that point in my life, the film is secondary,
Speaker 1: you know, And and it's one of those instances where
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd even want to watch it
Speaker 1: again now that I am, you know, supposedly sophisticated adult
Speaker 1: who critiques film. You know, it would be a different experience,
Speaker 1: and I want to hold on to that experience that
Speaker 1: I had at that time and what it meant for me, okay,
Speaker 1: so this will be my number one. Maybe maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit of a cheat here, probably you know, the
Speaker 1: back of the neck. There's no covering this one, hoop adam,
Speaker 1: So it's gonna go right.
Speaker 2: There all right. That brings us to my number one.
Speaker 2: The tattoo I like so much. I think I've convinced
Speaker 2: myself to do it. The only problem is the only
Speaker 2: problem is Josh, and I know everyone out there Cera
Speaker 2: was just cracking up at the notion of this happening,
Speaker 2: because no, I don't have any other ink on my body.
Speaker 2: But the problem is with this tattoo. Unlike all the others,
Speaker 2: those could be fairly small, fairly contained. This one to work,
Speaker 2: it would have to be fairly sizable. So it's just.
Speaker 1: From the Lord of the Rings movies, isn't it? From
Speaker 1: Olkin Map?
Speaker 2: From actually the Hobbit You've you've pegged me, Josh, you
Speaker 2: know me so well. No, I'll try to say this,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if this makes sense, but I
Speaker 2: did not seek out a number one pick that would
Speaker 2: be the perfect culmination for my list. But I had
Speaker 2: a number one pick that turned out to be the
Speaker 2: perfect culmination for my list. So in other words, it
Speaker 2: was obviously my number one before I consciously knew why
Speaker 2: it was. And it's inspired by the great James marsh
Speaker 2: documentary Man on Wire, about Felipe Petit, who famously strung
Speaker 2: a high wire between the two towers of the World
Speaker 2: Trade Center in nineteen seventy four and walked across the wire.
Speaker 2: So you've got, Josh my theme of confronting your mortality.
Speaker 2: How about clandestinely pulling off the string of the high
Speaker 2: wire that obviously highly illegal, he found a way to
Speaker 2: do it, and then successfully walking across it thirteen hundred
Speaker 2: feet above the streets of New York City without a net.
Speaker 2: He's not just confronting mortality, it's walking up to death
Speaker 2: and punching it in the face. Those are stakes when
Speaker 2: you go out on that wire. I've talked throughout my
Speaker 2: picks here about the sensibility of an artist. Here you've
Speaker 2: got an artist whose canvas is the sky, whose brushes
Speaker 2: are his body. He's creating a holy, unique, never sadly
Speaker 2: to be replicated work of art, an act of consequence,
Speaker 2: like Roy Battie describes, that isn't just extraordinary, though it's sublime,
Speaker 2: It's an achievement that demands, it requires perfection, and in
Speaker 2: the act of doing it displays perfection. And that image alone,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of the one that is the cover poster
Speaker 2: for the movie Man on Wire. It's just so beautiful
Speaker 2: and one inspiring. It's the tee in black on the wire,
Speaker 2: almost like a dot in the distance, because we do
Speaker 2: have to have the sense of scale where he is
Speaker 2: up in the sky near the clouds and you can
Speaker 2: see the two towers that he's walking between. Just that
Speaker 2: image alone is enough for it to be my number
Speaker 2: one when you combine it with the themes I discuss.
Speaker 2: But then, Josh, I get to pull a little bit
Speaker 2: of a Larsen cheat here. I get to make it
Speaker 2: even better by combining it with a line of dialogue
Speaker 2: from another one of my favorite movies. Ah hah, All
Speaker 2: That Jazz, Bob Fosse's alter ego, Joe Gideon says at
Speaker 2: one point in All That Jazz, to be on the
Speaker 2: Wire is life. The rest is waiting? How perfect is that?
Speaker 1: Are you putting the text on there?
Speaker 2: I'm going to put his text on there too. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm going to put the whole phrase
Speaker 2: the rest is waiting, probably, but definitely to be on
Speaker 2: the wire is life that has to be there, because
Speaker 2: that's the all that jazz reference. Fosse, like Peti, is
Speaker 2: an artist focused on perfection, trying to achieve the sublime.
Speaker 2: That's what that film is all about. In his mind,
Speaker 2: He's always coming up short. That's what we see again
Speaker 2: and again in that film, which is coming out in
Speaker 2: a Blu ray edition on Criterion here in a couple months. Fosse,
Speaker 2: I think, would almost surely say, if he was still
Speaker 2: with us, that he never achieved anything like the sublime.
Speaker 2: Petit maybe a little bit more confident, and of course
Speaker 2: he did pull off this amazing feat. He might say
Speaker 2: he did, but it's not like he hung it up
Speaker 2: after the World Trade Center. He still went on to
Speaker 2: do more. He continued the quest, but he certainly could
Speaker 2: have stopped after that. I think, Josh, for me, why
Speaker 2: this is my hands down number one, and why I've
Speaker 2: almost talked myself into it, is because they're the models
Speaker 2: making art as the only means to defy death, in
Speaker 2: the exhilaration of the moment of the act itself and
Speaker 2: in the art's ability to live on long after you're gone,
Speaker 2: which again gets back to that notion of permanence and
Speaker 2: impermanence that I think tattoos actually speak to. So maybe
Speaker 2: Le Samurai isn't my only aspirational tattoo, Man on Wire
Speaker 2: and all that jazz. They really ultimately represent who I'd
Speaker 2: like to be. Don't think I'll ever be those guys
Speaker 2: don't have the courage, don't have the talent, but that
Speaker 2: is what I'm striving for and failing at every day.
Speaker 2: So for me, that sums it all up. That literally
Speaker 2: sums it all up.
Speaker 1: So I see how this could work too. I mean,
Speaker 1: you've got the figure of the man on the back
Speaker 1: of your neck. Yeah, the line running, You've got shoulders
Speaker 1: stretch out, No, it's going all down both arms. So
Speaker 1: you've got to raise your two arms, walk around like
Speaker 1: that without a shirt, and you know then the text
Speaker 1: will be on your back. It's a no brainer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta do this.
Speaker 2: Should we go? Let's go, Let's go right now, let's
Speaker 2: just stop just for yours. Show's over, just for mine.
Speaker 2: You don't have the guts, do you, Josh?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: One thing I'm really hoping to get in our batch
Speaker 2: of feedback is I know we're going to get some response.
Speaker 2: Is we're gonna get some more pictures of listeners who
Speaker 2: actually have some of their movie related tattoos. We've already got,
Speaker 2: as we said, a bunch of great stuff that's come in,
Speaker 2: but I would love to hear from a tattoo artist
Speaker 2: who's out there, who's heard our picks, heard maybe our
Speaker 2: number ones. Just even start with those number ones and
Speaker 2: see what you come up with.
Speaker 1: Try to talk us into it.
Speaker 2: Try to talk us into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, there's there's something you know about getting
Speaker 1: a tattoo in college or that makes sense. I could
Speaker 1: even see getting a tattoo when I'm seventy. There's just
Speaker 1: something really sad. I feel like getting a tattoo at forty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go driving around in a red
Speaker 1: convertible with it or something like that too.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if a Team Zissu tattoo really
Speaker 2: says midlife crisis, Josh, I think you're okay. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll see those are our top five movie tattoos that
Speaker 2: we might actually get if I can talk Josh into it.
Speaker 2: What about honorable mentions, Josh? Any others that you considered
Speaker 2: or did you just max out at five?
Speaker 1: You know? The other ones I thought about. Let's see,
Speaker 1: I did think about Rear Window, which I cite is
Speaker 1: my favorite best movie of all time, but I just
Speaker 1: couldn't land on the right image for that or text either.
Speaker 1: And the only other film that I considered was La
Speaker 1: dulce Vita. But you know, I need act on my
Speaker 1: biceps that we're back into sailor territories, mermaid territory, like
Speaker 1: I said, not my style.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll go with your Italian theme. There one for
Speaker 2: me that, up until about an hour before we sat
Speaker 2: down here was in my top five. I was so
Speaker 2: sure it had to be on my list. It's Julietta
Speaker 2: Messina's face from the end of Nights of Cabiria, the
Speaker 2: Fellini film, and I had all these notes about why
Speaker 2: I was going to go with it. It's the perfect
Speaker 2: summation of comedy and tragedy and just all of life
Speaker 2: is there in her face. And then I ultimately realized
Speaker 2: that if it came down to a land a law
Speaker 2: and that cool factor or the face of Fellini's wife
Speaker 2: somewhere on my body. I mean, I just thought about
Speaker 2: the fact that every time I was at the gym,
Speaker 2: every day I went someone would say, hey, that's really
Speaker 2: sweet your mom. You got a tattoo of your mom.
Speaker 1: You just say, yeah, we're close.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Juliette Messina, you are. But an honorable mention.
Speaker 2: Only a couple other ones. No Country for old Men,
Speaker 2: the line I love, what's the most you ever lost
Speaker 2: on a coin toss? It would be pretty freaky to
Speaker 2: have Anton Shagur somewhere on your body. You don't want
Speaker 2: to do that, No, I don't. That's why it's an
Speaker 2: honorable mention. A matter of life and death. The Palell
Speaker 2: Presburger film, that amazing Stairway to Heaven image. That's another
Speaker 2: one though, that would basically require a full body.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a space for that one.
Speaker 2: Just an honorable mention. Twin Peaks. Maybe not so much
Speaker 2: of the movie, even though I like the film, But
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of the TV series That was another formative
Speaker 2: experience for me, and I love the red room, that
Speaker 2: checkered floor, and the red curtains and the couch. I
Speaker 2: think I just looked at this earlier today and somehow
Speaker 2: now I'm forgetting the specifics, but I love it and
Speaker 2: it's really kind of creepy, but in a cool way.
Speaker 2: I would consider that i'd stay with David Lynch Mullholland Drive.
Speaker 2: Think about all the times I praise meta movies here
Speaker 2: on the show, and movies about the filmmaking process. I
Speaker 2: had to think of one, and this is the first
Speaker 2: one that popped into my mind that had characters looking
Speaker 2: back at us looking at a screen. In this case,
Speaker 2: they're looking out of production. It's when Betty and Rita
Speaker 2: are watching the song the version of Crying by Roy
Speaker 2: Orbison and we hear that line Cilensio. And finally one,
Speaker 2: I think you'd be on board with Josh. It'd be
Speaker 2: a nice, little small one you could get away with.
Speaker 1: Two. I'm running out of space here atam.
Speaker 2: Terrence Malix The Tree of Life. Yeah, cover image the
Speaker 2: foot in hand gets back to my whole mortality theme,
Speaker 2: I think nicely.
Speaker 1: I don't think you gave enough thought to the likelihood
Speaker 1: of these turn it out? Well, no, because I didn't
Speaker 1: cook some of these of like body parts and faces
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. I've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: bad tattoos. Oh yeah, that sort of stuff. So the
Speaker 1: babyfoot could be kind of creepy.
Speaker 2: It could be the tree. Maybe the tree, Okay, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe one of those, Josh, only one of those I
Speaker 2: really don't. I really don't see myself ever getting a
Speaker 2: land de La and the Fedora on my body. I
Speaker 2: might have been reaching a little bit with that. The
Speaker 2: other four, the other four definitely, I mean, I'll never
Speaker 2: get all four of them, but the other four all
Speaker 2: could happen.
Speaker 1: The only one I think I regret, though I like
Speaker 1: it for the list, is probably teams to sue because
Speaker 1: it's things have only become more Wes Anderson has only
Speaker 1: become more of a brand even in the time that
Speaker 1: we did this, well, it was twelve years ago, so
Speaker 1: you know, it seems like, eh, I that just feels
Speaker 1: a little too brandy for me. I might have to
Speaker 1: rethink that one. I'd probably still go maybe Wes Anderson,
Speaker 1: but something a little more subtle and harder to decipher.
Speaker 2: I'd really love to see a donkey like on your bicep, Josh.
Speaker 2: I think that'd be really tough, or think I could ferry.
Speaker 2: I think would be really tough.
Speaker 1: One on one bisop the other bysop the other on
Speaker 1: the other one, YE.
Speaker 2: Would be the toughest man in the world showing off
Speaker 2: your donkey, blue faery and umbrella. I will stell umbrella.
Speaker 1: I think to really pull it off, i'd have to
Speaker 1: lose at least one tooth, and I don't.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt that's gonna happen. There is no doubt
Speaker 2: I do love that image. If you want to access
Speaker 2: archive episodes just like that one at your fingertips, you
Speaker 2: can do so by becoming a member of the Film
Speaker 2: Spotting Family learn more at Filmspotting family dot com, and
Speaker 2: by reminding me that that was twelve years ago. That
Speaker 2: suggests it's due for a revisit. Another tattoo Top five.
Speaker 1: Josh, Yeah, I'm up for it.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 3: This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. The n
