Speaker 1: How do you everybody, Welcome to Movie Crush, Mini Crush
Speaker 1: A dish say, Hi? Know, hello, Chuck. I think this
Speaker 1: is Mini Crushed number thirty one today. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: because we just had kind of a bit of a
Speaker 1: kerfuffle about what number of these are we on and
Speaker 1: in terms of planning, and I had to sort that out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just want to say it out loud so I
Speaker 1: know it's real. We play it fast and loose here,
Speaker 1: people sometimes at the same time. Yeah, fast and loose.
Speaker 1: I play it fast. I never play it loose. I
Speaker 1: play I play it fast and tight. Growth. I don't
Speaker 1: know why that creep me out. It's fine, all right, Hi, everybody.
Speaker 1: I am looking through my outline here and I see
Speaker 1: I'm very excited because not only do we have some
Speaker 1: good polls coming up on the pole Truth, but we
Speaker 1: have a new segment this week. No, I don't know
Speaker 1: how I feel about this, Chuck, and I haven't even
Speaker 1: poked into the answers yet, so I'm kind of excited
Speaker 1: to see what happens here. In the name of the segment.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna come up with special music for this?
Speaker 1: I will, I will, I will outsource it all right,
Speaker 1: molds too busy these days. Guys. Uh, here we go
Speaker 1: with casting. That's the that's the que right there, Chuck.
Speaker 1: We just put reverb on your voice and maybe a
Speaker 1: nice little delay on it, you know, like you just heard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people make it a robot too, robot reverb delay, what else? Yeah? Um,
Speaker 1: can you make it on fire? It's it will be,
Speaker 1: It will be fire. It will be as as the
Speaker 1: kids say the sound cue. But no, it's hard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in the audio around, it's hard to set things on fire.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the idea with casting, call everyone. I
Speaker 1: was trying to think of a good way, and this
Speaker 1: may not be the best way, so I do welcome suggestions.
Speaker 1: But I was trying to think of a good way
Speaker 1: to get you involved in casting a fake movie. But
Speaker 1: then I thought, well, in order for it to be
Speaker 1: a fun casting thing, it should be a movie based
Speaker 1: on real people. So you're casting to that. It's no
Speaker 1: fun to be like, cast a movie about two people
Speaker 1: falling in love. You got you want to like? Are
Speaker 1: my casting to a type? Well? What am I looking for?
Speaker 1: It makes it a good thought experiment here, all right,
Speaker 1: So here's what I did, and again, welcome suggestions. On
Speaker 1: a better way to do this. But for week one
Speaker 1: with casting, call I just sort of proposed a fake
Speaker 1: comedic historical science fiction adventure. Yeah, this one. This was
Speaker 1: a mess, Chuck, I love it. That's great. Here's the plot.
Speaker 1: A twenty something nerd builds a time machine in order
Speaker 1: to right histories wrongs. He goes through time, picks up
Speaker 1: Rosa Parks, Gandhi and Frederick Douglas, trains them in the
Speaker 1: art of kill, and sends them after Hitler. So it's
Speaker 1: like Bill and Ted, but with Hitler. I definitely thought
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, but we have several parts. We have
Speaker 1: the twentysomething nerd, we have Rosa Parks, we have Gandy,
Speaker 1: we have Frederick Douglas, and we have Hitler. So we
Speaker 1: have five parts that people were charged with casting. This
Speaker 1: is tough because it's always tough to cast those uh
Speaker 1: rhetorical types, you know. And it's yeah, okay, I'm ready,
Speaker 1: all right. So Sam Hopkins says, the nerd h Tom Holland,
Speaker 1: Oh he's interesting. He's going a Marvel m c U
Speaker 1: route for the nerd. Tom Holland, Peter Parker, Rosa Parks, Letitia, right,
Speaker 1: who would be good? Gandy Bucky Barnes, who was a
Speaker 1: Sebastian stand from Captain America. Frederick Douglas says, Don cheatle
Speaker 1: A k A, James Rhodes, and then Hitler, Tom Hittleston Loki.
Speaker 1: That's actually pretty good casting. Well, here's the thing to chuck.
Speaker 1: I feel like this movie would be kind of one
Speaker 1: of those, uh, almost like New B movie types. So
Speaker 1: you could cast a little zanely in a movie like this,
Speaker 1: or if you wanted to, that would be another route
Speaker 1: you could go. I'm interested to hear more right, like
Speaker 1: getting uh, because that seemed like all prestige casting, like
Speaker 1: the types you would put in like Lincoln or Gandhi
Speaker 1: a sequel or whatever. That's not true. Bucky Barnes is
Speaker 1: Gandhi was an odd choice, to be honest. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: true casting against type though. Michael's t J Danny says
Speaker 1: Michael Senna, Uh for the Nerd Rosa Parks, Octavia Spencer,
Speaker 1: She's wonderful. Ben Kingsley for Gandhi, he says, why not
Speaker 1: worked once? And he would be super old by by
Speaker 1: now if you were still alive. Yeah, Ben Kingsley is alive.
Speaker 1: I mean Gandhi. Well, it's a time machine, so they're
Speaker 1: they're just picking people. Let's say they're picking them up
Speaker 1: at primes. Okay, so they would probably have to d
Speaker 1: age Sir Ben Kingsley a lady, which they just did. Actually,
Speaker 1: guess Chris White's his new movie Operation Finale. They d
Speaker 1: aged Ben Kingsley. How do you like that? Because he
Speaker 1: played Adolf Eichman, the Nazi. So they showed some World
Speaker 1: War two footage and he's c g d aged to
Speaker 1: an extent that works. Did you see it? Yeah, they
Speaker 1: set up with screening for me. Doesn't take you out
Speaker 1: of it? No, because he didn't, and I even told
Speaker 1: him of the interview. They didn't overdo it. They didn't
Speaker 1: hang on his face too much. And it wasn't like
Speaker 1: an hour of the movie. It was very sparse and
Speaker 1: well done. I feel like we talked about this in
Speaker 1: terms of another movie. Maybe he was aunt Man with
Speaker 1: Kurt Douglas. They d aged him a little bit in
Speaker 1: the early scenes in that, and it doesn't look that
Speaker 1: you thought you thought it looked bad. It was all right.
Speaker 1: I mean it's all a little uncanny Valley. Well, of course,
Speaker 1: I'm just I just was wondering how much better this
Speaker 1: was than like that, and I felt like it was
Speaker 1: quite a bit better. They're getting there. Yeah, alright, sorry
Speaker 1: t J. On the side track, after Ben Kingsley is
Speaker 1: Gandy Frederick Douglas, he says Sterling K. Brown. Sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: For Hitler, he says, Kevin Spacey with Mel Gibson being
Speaker 1: digitally added after filming. Oh, that's funny, yeah, because he
Speaker 1: had he doesn't play well with other they'd have to
Speaker 1: shoot his parts elsewhere and then just drop him into
Speaker 1: the movie. Kevin Spacey would actually make a decent Hitler
Speaker 1: looks wise, but he may not act for a while.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I forgot about Spacey being in this equation.
Speaker 1: That's tough. He's on the out list. They'll both have
Speaker 1: to be in remote locations. That's right, Megan Nichole says
Speaker 1: Nerd and Michael B. Jordan's Oh sure, I like that
Speaker 1: against type hunky, muscular Michael B. Georgie. And then he
Speaker 1: takes off his glasses and all of a sudden everyone
Speaker 1: sees how hot he is. Hunky really is Rosa park
Speaker 1: of Viola Davis, al right, getting more love Gandy, m
Speaker 1: Night Shamlan. I can't act, he's so bad. He can't
Speaker 1: pull off a cameo. That's what I'm saying. His roles
Speaker 1: are like very like he's like a clerk or something
Speaker 1: and has like two lines that are both read like
Speaker 1: alf a que card. It feels like uh Douglas Frederick Douglas. Uh,
Speaker 1: Megan says she what' tell edge? Oh four? Oh boy,
Speaker 1: he'd be great and Chuck, that was a valiant pronunciation.
Speaker 1: A champt possibly, but I think success. Thanks Zack Pointer.
Speaker 1: He's very involved here, he says. Uh. Joseph Gordon Levitt
Speaker 1: as the nerd Uh, oh, this would be good. She says,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure quite how to pronounce it. But Deny Guaria,
Speaker 1: is that correct? You know her from The Walking Dead?
Speaker 1: And uh black Panther? Who does she playing? Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: she's the badass samurai sword shown. Yeah, that's right. She'd
Speaker 1: be a great as kick in Rosa Parks because the
Speaker 1: thing too, like in this scenario they would have to
Speaker 1: band together and just like kick ass there they were
Speaker 1: trained in the art of kill. I'm remembering that. I
Speaker 1: got it. Why isn't this a movie? It's sounding like
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's sort of like a good
Speaker 1: Justice League slash League of extraordinary gentlemen when they kind
Speaker 1: of brought all these characters together. Well there, remember there
Speaker 1: were those historical kind of um satires, like there was
Speaker 1: like Pride and prejudice and zombies or these revisionist Lincoln thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe this could be like one of those. Yeah, uh so,
Speaker 1: Zach says Ben Kingsley, if we're andy another one of those.
Speaker 1: And then Donald Glover is Frederick Douglas because you didn't
Speaker 1: say older, young Frederick Douglas. That's really to the earlier
Speaker 1: point about the time travel, right, Yeah, John mill Step
Speaker 1: says Nerd is unknown or Alex Wolf. You can't do that, not,
Speaker 1: not the way this movie has just dated over this conversation,
Speaker 1: Like now it is like this total schlocky, badass b movie,
Speaker 1: like you know, action movie, which it is Rosa Parks.
Speaker 1: John Millstep says, Zoe Seldonna, Sure, why not Frederick Douglas,
Speaker 1: Will Smith all right? And Hitler Michael Fastbender only because
Speaker 1: I think it'd be funny Ben Kingsley's Gandhi people. You
Speaker 1: can't just keep going to Ben to Ben Kingsley, well, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's that'd be a pretty awesome
Speaker 1: role to reprise. I think the thing is he wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he'd do it right, doesn't seem beneath
Speaker 1: him to like play an ass kicking Gandhi, Although you
Speaker 1: never know, don't You might have a good sense he
Speaker 1: might have a good good time with him. Thomas Tinarello
Speaker 1: been drinking chuck uh, he says. Neil Patrick Harris is
Speaker 1: the nerd? Sure, why not? Samuel Jackson is the only
Speaker 1: person allowed to play Frederick Douglass, he says. Um Alfrey
Speaker 1: Woodward is Rosa Parks. Sasha Baron Cohen is Gandhi, that'd
Speaker 1: be pretty interesting. And also Sasha Baron Cohen is Hitler.
Speaker 1: I like where this guy's Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, why not?
Speaker 1: He's a modern day Peter Sellers. That would be cool.
Speaker 1: So this would be kind of almost like a tropic
Speaker 1: thunder kind of situation at this point, right, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. Jimmy Kaikan Daal says nerd Laticia. Right,
Speaker 1: And I'm glad someone finally cast a woman because I
Speaker 1: purposefully left that vague as a little bit of an experiment.
Speaker 1: See how many people would just cast a man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that there's the female nerd trip too. But she
Speaker 1: also takes off her glasses and then is a gorgeous
Speaker 1: beauty that happens. Jordan Peele is Frederick Douglas. Sure, Martin Green, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I didn't see that first word. So Nikola
Speaker 1: Martin Green from Star Trek Discovery is Rosa Parks. I
Speaker 1: don't know who that is. I don't know that show,
Speaker 1: but I know about it. And Sunny Pawar uh Young
Speaker 1: Saru and Lion. Oh yeah, boy, that movie was great.
Speaker 1: As Gandhi. And then Steve Bushimi as Hitler. I almost said,
Speaker 1: of course, like that makes sense, Steve, that'd be fun,
Speaker 1: but he would be you know, it's sort of like
Speaker 1: his role as Krushchev and uh, the Death of Stalin.
Speaker 1: Maybe he plays Hitler totally as bush right, right, you know,
Speaker 1: just wearing the little mustache. Yeah, all right, let's do
Speaker 1: a couple of more here, and you know what, this
Speaker 1: movie is so awesome and weird in my mind. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep this one going for a casting call
Speaker 1: for future segments where we should ask for maybe like
Speaker 1: a plot points we could really like we could we
Speaker 1: could crowdsource this entire movie. Yeah, what's that called sort
Speaker 1: of the telephone game where you each add like the paragraph.
Speaker 1: Maybe we could do that one. Maybe we could do
Speaker 1: it and present it to you find people over time
Speaker 1: interesting and we own the rights everyone. You heard it
Speaker 1: here first. Uh. Jesse de Jong says this would be
Speaker 1: a blastic cast Time Traveler Andrew gar Field, all right,
Speaker 1: Rosa Parks, Angela Bassett, Yeah. Frederick Douglas, Uh, Sam, she says, Sam,
Speaker 1: motherfucking Jackson always this solid choice, that is in fact
Speaker 1: his middle name. Brian George for Gandhi, and then Mike
Speaker 1: Myers for Hitler. We'll finish out with Crabtree Stephen Nerd.
Speaker 1: He says, uh. Uh. Aliyah Shalcott, Yeah, from Alan from
Speaker 1: the Arrested Development. She's she's maybe yeah, see thinking Uh
Speaker 1: another casting of a woman. I like that Gandhi, he says,
Speaker 1: riz Ahmed Uh. Controversy, he says, but better than j
Speaker 1: J Abrams casting Benny cumber Batch. That's funny. Rosa Parks,
Speaker 1: he says, Gabrielle Union love her, She's great. Frederick Douglas
Speaker 1: he says, uh, I miss Ossie Davis, boy, I do two.
Speaker 1: But he says, we'll go with Clark Peters instead, Goodwin
Speaker 1: and then finally Hitler. You gotta go with you know who,
Speaker 1: Bruno guns and a true or statement. It's probably never
Speaker 1: been made. The show I mean that was Downfall. He
Speaker 1: was kind of considered like the best Hitler in the
Speaker 1: history of cinema. I think I'm pretty sure that still
Speaker 1: holds up as like the best actual dramatic Like here's
Speaker 1: Hitler as a complex character, not as just some like
Speaker 1: some kind of ephemeral like supervillain from a distance. That's
Speaker 1: an excellent film. What's it called Downfall? Downfall? I don't
Speaker 1: think I've seen that. Man, Oh, it's so good. A right,
Speaker 1: there's there's a there's a great meme. There's like a
Speaker 1: video meme where someone changes the subtitles to say something
Speaker 1: really absurd. And it's a scene where Hitler is like
Speaker 1: losing his ship and just like pounding on this map
Speaker 1: and stuff, and it's like someone telling him that they're
Speaker 1: not going to make the strawberry frosted pop tarts anymore.
Speaker 1: And it's like his his advisors are kind of gradually
Speaker 1: telling him some bad information and he's kind of like
Speaker 1: sweating and taking it in, and then he just like
Speaker 1: pauses for a second and starts freaking out and pounding
Speaker 1: his fists the meme is that it can be any dumb,
Speaker 1: pointless thing ever, but in the movie, it's actually about
Speaker 1: the fact that you know they're in a bunker, he's
Speaker 1: getta there, they've lost the war. You know, it's an
Speaker 1: incredible film. I gonna check that out. I've never shared
Speaker 1: a meme no once. No. Well, you know what I say,
Speaker 1: be the meme that you want to see in the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've laughed at some of them. Then you
Speaker 1: know you don't have to share them. I feel like
Speaker 1: forty seven is too old to be sharing. Come now,
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. If I passed the cut off too, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta be like, come now, and you're in your thirties,
Speaker 1: come now, good sir. All right, We're gonna go with
Speaker 1: the pole truth next. We had some good polls this week. Everyone.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy coming up with these polls. It's kind
Speaker 1: of fun. Uh, first R rated movie and your two choices,
Speaker 1: and as everyone knows, as a Facebook page manager on
Speaker 1: a on a fan page like this, you can do
Speaker 1: more than two choices. Just want to keep pointing that out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then didn't we finally decide that that was better
Speaker 1: for the process. It's kind of fun to just say,
Speaker 1: let's think of the people get frustrated and they're like,
Speaker 1: I always do them just so I can see the
Speaker 1: outcome in advance, because I feel like I know I've
Speaker 1: done this, I've done these. Yeah, well we'll get what
Speaker 1: you how you pulled on all these two? Then all right,
Speaker 1: first R rated movie. Your choices were I snuck it in,
Speaker 1: I snuck it from my parents or my parents either
Speaker 1: knew or took me. And boy, we got twelve hundred
Speaker 1: votes on this one. I love it, and it was
Speaker 1: not fifty fifty, but it was close. Um six d
Speaker 1: and fifty five people said my parents and nowhere took me,
Speaker 1: and five and ten said I snuck it from my parents.
Speaker 1: What did you say? No, I think I said I
Speaker 1: snuck it, but I don't really remember. I think I
Speaker 1: had a babysitter, like a male babysitter, which I guess
Speaker 1: it's a little weird. Um, when I was younger, I
Speaker 1: just don't think about like dudes babysita little kids most
Speaker 1: of the time. And there's no reason that should be
Speaker 1: the case. But because you're the patriarchy for that's probably
Speaker 1: totally true. It's my fragile masculinity. That makes me question
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Anyway. I remember we would go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store and he would he would let me
Speaker 1: rent our rated movies, and I saw like stuff like
Speaker 1: The Last Boy Scout, like on VHS and whatever. My
Speaker 1: first a rated movie was was surely a pretty bad
Speaker 1: nineties action movie. Yeah, and I mentioned this on the show.
Speaker 1: But I mine was escaped from New York and I
Speaker 1: had I called. I was such a good boy. I
Speaker 1: called my mom to ask if I could watch it,
Speaker 1: as you remember that, Yeah, she said that would be okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that because I asked, she said they'd be okay.
Speaker 1: And so I fall into the second category. My parents
Speaker 1: knew I did not sneak it. I would sneak it
Speaker 1: now because I'm a different guy. Uh, pull truth. Movie trailers,
Speaker 1: love them, Avoid them, very simple. We've got about twelve
Speaker 1: votes for this one too, and you love movie trailers,
Speaker 1: only two and thirty of you avoid them? What did
Speaker 1: you say? No? I mean I like a good one,
Speaker 1: and then the bad ones are really bad. You can't
Speaker 1: really but then like you don't you don't know which
Speaker 1: one you're gonna get. You can kind of figure it out, though,
Speaker 1: in advance like that, what kind of movie is it?
Speaker 1: What kind of trailer is it gonna be? I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: They're fine. I like to get to the movie theater
Speaker 1: on time to see them. Usually, Yeah, my my, I
Speaker 1: love movie trailers, but it does bug me that they
Speaker 1: give away so much. Now, that's all I'll say. But
Speaker 1: I'll still watch him because I love a good movie trailer.
Speaker 1: I always have. All Right, Poul truth, the world is
Speaker 1: in danger? Who do you call? I went with Ethan
Speaker 1: Hunter James Bond, and please trust me, everyone, there are
Speaker 1: a million ways you could have gone with this. This
Speaker 1: is just a fun question. Don't take it too serious.
Speaker 1: I bet it was fifty fifty out of a thousand votes.
Speaker 1: Roughly we had three sixty three for Ethan Hunt, six
Speaker 1: for James. More people are given Bond to love. I
Speaker 1: got him, and I yeah I would. I went with
Speaker 1: Ethan Hunt because he's you know why, Because in my
Speaker 1: mind I pictured Tom Cruise doing all those fucking insane stunts,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this guy knows what's going on.
Speaker 1: He can't take care of us. Bonds always out drinking
Speaker 1: and Talabanton gallivanting. I just don't feel like he has
Speaker 1: our best interest at heart? Yeah, have you ever galivanted?
Speaker 1: Is it like frolicking? I don't know. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's a sexual component. And yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's just doing things grandly. I don't know that. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what I'm talking about. But I
Speaker 1: do want to shout out a couple of couple of
Speaker 1: women on her page that uh as comments said, Pandora
Speaker 1: Young said, how about I'd call Ellen Ripley of course, So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it from alien and Emma Canning says, is
Speaker 1: there anyone less toxically masculine? Can I call Buffy? That
Speaker 1: was very funny. She got a lot of good laugh
Speaker 1: so did Pandora. So what I was gonna do the
Speaker 1: whole time was do a poll at some point with
Speaker 1: like Ellen Ripley or Buffy that kind of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but why has it got to be one to one man?
Speaker 1: Because two choices? It's is Facebook's. Yeah, but at some
Speaker 1: point Ellen Ripley might face off with Ethan Hunt, So
Speaker 1: we gotta do it like you keep track of like
Speaker 1: football games or something, brackets or whatever. Right, I think so,
Speaker 1: But I do want to say, though, Emma, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say Ethan Hunt is toxically masculine. I think the only
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in Mission Impossible movies is all
Speaker 1: he does is care about the job or Michelle Monaghan
Speaker 1: in a very deep loving way. What about in the
Speaker 1: original like Gallivanti never beds ladies. He's never gallivanting, by
Speaker 1: the way, it's going from place to place in search
Speaker 1: of pleasure or entertainment. Yeah, he doesn't galivant at all.
Speaker 1: He has no pleasure. He's like monk like in his
Speaker 1: pursuits of justice. Yeah. Like, I don't think he's talk
Speaker 1: toxically masculine. Sure, but maybe in the original series he was.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was a little more of like a ladies
Speaker 1: man in the I don't know. Yeah, I kind of
Speaker 1: like that about that is it shows nothing about his
Speaker 1: personal life. That only feels and subplot there, ever, is
Speaker 1: is the love story with Michelle Monting. He doesn't never
Speaker 1: have to like seduce somebody for the job. I've never
Speaker 1: seen him do it. He's just grabbing hold of helicopters.
Speaker 1: Not doesn't leave time for much else. You know, that's
Speaker 1: it does not? Okay? Next poll is baseball comedy cage Match,
Speaker 1: Major League or Bull Durham and out of seven and
Speaker 1: seventeen votes, we got five forty for Major League and
Speaker 1: one seventy nine for Bull Durham. I said major League
Speaker 1: because I have not seen Bull Durham. I like them both.
Speaker 1: Don't really remember liking Major League all that much either,
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe I need to see it now. It's
Speaker 1: like I'll put it. I'll do a triple feature Major League,
Speaker 1: Blues Brothers, and Animal House because these are three like
Speaker 1: classic kind of high jinksie comedies that I have not seen. Man,
Speaker 1: which one's Animal House and Blues Brothers. There was a
Speaker 1: whole thing we talked about, like on the I don't
Speaker 1: think Blues Brothers is that great. People do see people
Speaker 1: seem to like it, though, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel strongly about the Blue those those Brothers. I
Speaker 1: enjoy it, okay, But I never found Blues Brothers, the
Speaker 1: Blues Brothers that funny, Like, man, I'm laughing a lot
Speaker 1: in this movie. It was like, even as like the
Speaker 1: sad Al Sketch, was it not really your favorite? I
Speaker 1: never thought it was funny. I mean they were a
Speaker 1: decent band actually, but I never thought, like, man, this
Speaker 1: is hysteria because their whole deal is just they're kind
Speaker 1: of like always getting into capers. I really don't understand
Speaker 1: what Okay, okay, please explain it to me, folks. Why
Speaker 1: is Blues Brothers really funny? I would love to hear
Speaker 1: that too. Just Cone Heads funny? That was the dumbest
Speaker 1: kit of all time? Well, Cone has Movies. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's a nostalgia trigger for me because that came out
Speaker 1: and I remember, like the soundtrack and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and you know, you watch it now. No, it's all
Speaker 1: it's so bad. What about Wayne's World? You like Wayne's World? Uh? Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1: My brother worked on Wayness World two. I think we
Speaker 1: talked about this. He worked on a lot of sequels
Speaker 1: in the inferior. No, no, I think he worked on
Speaker 1: Waynes World one. Actually city Slickers to Adam's Family Values,
Speaker 1: that's right. But Wayne's World one. I think we talked
Speaker 1: about Adam's family values because he's we're telling me about
Speaker 1: the dance sequence that was like insane to choreograph. It's great, alright,
Speaker 1: pol truth Vietnam movie, cage match, apocolops now our platoon,
Speaker 1: Well said some people that took issue with this just
Speaker 1: being posed. Oh wow, almost dead even Apocalypse Now three
Speaker 1: six Platoon. That's really that's close. There's one of those
Speaker 1: you haven't seen, right, No, that's not no, no, chuck, now,
Speaker 1: I've seen them both, though I guess I think of
Speaker 1: I think about Platoon as being one of the first
Speaker 1: war movies that I got really really into and liked
Speaker 1: it a lot, and like I bought it on DVD,
Speaker 1: you know, and I saw Apocalypse Now later. I think
Speaker 1: it's the more interesting and kind of weird trippy of
Speaker 1: the two, right, But like, I don't know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's hard because Platoon is great. Platon has got
Speaker 1: a great story and great characters. And would you like
Speaker 1: Platoon more of Daniel Radcliffe had started it? Mm hmmmmm yeah,
Speaker 1: he would have been just a baby at that point,
Speaker 1: though I don't think he's even alive. Pull truth Matrix sequels.
Speaker 1: Hated them a stain on the first or I liked
Speaker 1: him fine. This was tough because I didn't want to say,
Speaker 1: like I hated it and loved it. You know, that's
Speaker 1: too strong. So I did hate it, almost as though
Speaker 1: we need a third option on these. Out of eight
Speaker 1: and thirty votes, very close people hated it and said
Speaker 1: they were staying on the first and three said, I
Speaker 1: like them, fine, I don't really care about the matrix man.
Speaker 1: That first one was great, but I mean that came
Speaker 1: out in the theater and it was a sort of
Speaker 1: a revolutionary movie. I guess it was. I guess it was.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't think of it quite like that.
Speaker 1: I think if it as like sort of the beginning
Speaker 1: of the over exposed sci fi kind of drawn, like
Speaker 1: you know, with the bullet Time, I think I associate
Speaker 1: a lot of negative things with it that got done
Speaker 1: to death. They created bullet Time, I know that, but
Speaker 1: I think I blame it for all that ship that
Speaker 1: just like you know, it just clogged up the production
Speaker 1: cycle still to this deck and happened show uh pol truth.
Speaker 1: All right, here's what we're gonna do with this one, folks.
Speaker 1: I did three sets of Chevy Chase movies, and I
Speaker 1: know somebody you hate Chevy Chase. Don't take the poll, alright,
Speaker 1: So we did. The first one we did was Fletch
Speaker 1: or Caddy Shank, And out of six and six votes,
Speaker 1: nine for Fletch and four fifty for Caddy Shank. Because
Speaker 1: Fletch is like that's sort of like considered his stupidest movie.
Speaker 1: Isn't it kind of because he just doesn't just fall
Speaker 1: down a lot? Isn't that sort of like that's just
Speaker 1: really good? Yeah, I guess I just think of it.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, fall down a lot? Wasn't he famous for
Speaker 1: like falling down a lot? Or like his thing was
Speaker 1: a what do you call it, like pratt preff fall
Speaker 1: where things not heavy on the prat falls he felt
Speaker 1: for sure because on the roller skates, uh, in the sand,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he fell again. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: sort of like a very Chevy Chase centric movie, whereas
Speaker 1: Caddy shacks more ensemble cast. So I could see the
Speaker 1: love going that way because Chevy's a bit much right,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and he's not well like now. So it's
Speaker 1: hard for people to remember that he was one of
Speaker 1: the funniest. He shouldn't He certainly was funny. Yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: Chevy Chase Cage Match two see seems like old times
Speaker 1: in foul Play. Not many votes, man, People need to
Speaker 1: see these movies if you want to see like great
Speaker 1: Chevy Chase, watch Neil Simon. Seems like old times. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have not seen that one, but I have seen
Speaker 1: foul Play and my mom was actually in foul Play.
Speaker 1: What yeah, shut then only her voice though there's a
Speaker 1: scene where they're at the opera and it's like this,
Speaker 1: like because if people haven't seen foul Play, it's really fun.
Speaker 1: It's like a capery s spy kind of you who
Speaker 1: done it? But it's you know, goofy comedy. It's great.
Speaker 1: Dudley Moore is in it, plays this pervy dude with
Speaker 1: like the you know, creepy like, um, what's like what
Speaker 1: we're looking for? Kind of like Lithario apartment with all
Speaker 1: the sex toys everywhere. And there's an opera chase scene
Speaker 1: where they're in the opera and my mom was in
Speaker 1: the production of the Mikado. I think it was this playing.
Speaker 1: I think it was in San Francisco and her she's
Speaker 1: in the credits, but it was just her voice, and
Speaker 1: she wasn't there that day when they filmed, actually, but
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been able to tell you. Her name
Speaker 1: is definitely the credit Sandra Sandra Walker. That is very cool. No,
Speaker 1: I love that. What a coincidence to uh so, only
Speaker 1: ninety nine people said, seems like old times two ninths
Speaker 1: had foul Play I gotta say, I'm disappointed. It seems
Speaker 1: like Old Times is a great, great movie. Goldie Hawn
Speaker 1: and Charles Grodin Goldie Haunts and both of those, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they were sort of a well, I guess just for
Speaker 1: those two movies, I think it's all they did. But
Speaker 1: they're sort of like the the Hanks uh Meg Ryan
Speaker 1: combo for a yeah before that. Actually, um, all right,
Speaker 1: Part three Vacation versus Funny Farm. I know where this
Speaker 1: is going. Yeah, six eighty two for Vacation, sixty five
Speaker 1: for Funny Farm. That wasn't quite fair. But you know,
Speaker 1: aside from three Amigos, which would be tough because that's
Speaker 1: really a showcase of those three men. You get your
Speaker 1: Steve Martin and your Martin short, right, and you go
Speaker 1: with that one. But a Funny Farm is a very funny,
Speaker 1: I think underrated movie. But of course Vacation Clarkswald, that's
Speaker 1: gonna win. That's the one with the Wally World, right yeah, man,
Speaker 1: the original. All right, So those are a few Chevy
Speaker 1: Chase polls because why not? Yeah, yeah, I know, and
Speaker 1: you know, say what you will about Chevy Chase. He
Speaker 1: knew how to take a fall. Oh man. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think that's how he actually ended up on drugs
Speaker 1: because he had a bad back from his years of
Speaker 1: pratt falling got hooked on meds. Oh wow, I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: That's how that went down. And feudal and stupid gesture.
Speaker 1: It's mainly just he's do he and the dude are
Speaker 1: just doing all the cocaine? Yeah, I think he was.
Speaker 1: He was into that. I think I think everyone just
Speaker 1: was in those days. Sure, Yeah, he definitely had a
Speaker 1: cocaine problem. He acknowledged that. Okay, so we're going to
Speaker 1: finish up with comic card. In questions to myself and
Speaker 1: Mr nol Brown, here's five of them. Rachel O'Reilly says,
Speaker 1: when watching a movie in the theater, do you sit
Speaker 1: through all of the credits? Um? Sometimes but not always.
Speaker 1: Do we have this one already where we talked about.
Speaker 1: I think we posed it to it was a poll question,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if we discussed it. Do you
Speaker 1: like Marvel movies? I just said, I if I know
Speaker 1: something he's coming, but no, No, Well, I think I
Speaker 1: guess I can picture back in my younger movie going
Speaker 1: days where I would have, like I really wanted to
Speaker 1: see the names of the songs on the soundtrack, and
Speaker 1: that would have been the only time, like because you know,
Speaker 1: pre internet, I guess where I could figure that out.
Speaker 1: So that's you know, I've waited around for that before.
Speaker 1: If something in the movie really caught my interest in
Speaker 1: terms of the music, that is like one of the
Speaker 1: very last things that scrolls. All right, Louis or Louis Martinez. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's your guys take on method acting? From Daniel day
Speaker 1: Lewis in Christian Bale, you can't to either the work
Speaker 1: was worth it, huh, but someone he hated like Jared
Speaker 1: Leto and Jim careyman on the Moon. Oh, I just
Speaker 1: saw that again. I love that movie. Um, I mean
Speaker 1: that's each actor's own, you know, that's their choice. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a real opinion on
Speaker 1: method acting. It certainly led to some great performances. That's
Speaker 1: what you need, I guess. So I I guess I
Speaker 1: just find it like there's there's a great I want
Speaker 1: to say it is Ben Kingsley said, this wasn't he in? No?
Speaker 1: Was he in the Marathon Man? No? That was sir,
Speaker 1: the guy from Lawrence Olivia exactly. So apparently, um, Dustin
Speaker 1: Hoffman like there's a scene where he gets his teeth
Speaker 1: drilled out by the character that Olivier plays, who's like
Speaker 1: this torture dentist for a Nazi, right and exactly, and
Speaker 1: apparently he Hoffman tells him, yeah, I went and got
Speaker 1: a teeth drilled at the dentist the other day that
Speaker 1: I didn't need to get done because I wanted to
Speaker 1: see what it felt like. And then Olivier is like, well,
Speaker 1: why would you do that, you know, and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to get into that headspace.
Speaker 1: And he's this young, like method dude, and Olivier is like,
Speaker 1: what have you ever considered just acting my boy or
Speaker 1: something like that? And it's classic. Some people need that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's their method. And then you hear about
Speaker 1: Carrie just terrorizing the set of Man on the Moon
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it's being really, you said, you you
Speaker 1: saw that, you saw the documentary. Documentary is awesome. It
Speaker 1: annoys me for some reason. It just seems very pretentious
Speaker 1: to me. I get that people can go there and
Speaker 1: think it's pretentious, for sure, Yeah, I get it, but
Speaker 1: that's a Lopez. Do you guys have a favorite kung
Speaker 1: fu movie? I'm not well versed in kung fu movies,
Speaker 1: no you oh, definitely not. Definitely mean, um, I've seen
Speaker 1: most most Bruce Lee movies, and I've seen now there's
Speaker 1: a lot of them. I mean, I you know, Enter
Speaker 1: the Dragons fun. I really like, you know, the more
Speaker 1: modern ones that are very balletic, but it's not really
Speaker 1: kung fu like I mean like Crouching Tiger, Enjoyed the Hero,
Speaker 1: you know that those I didn't see that. That one's gorgeous,
Speaker 1: has this amazing like color palette. Yes, yes it is,
Speaker 1: it absolutely is, Yeah, exactly, but it's a period. It's
Speaker 1: like it's it was from like you know, the twenty
Speaker 1: tens even or something like that. I think it's well,
Speaker 1: I'm saying it wasn't like yes, that's my question about
Speaker 1: food movie. It's like does that count? Are we talking
Speaker 1: classic you know, right, like Kung Futhia like Hong Kong
Speaker 1: kind of like, and then you get into like the
Speaker 1: more gangster oriented ones because you know, it's a lot
Speaker 1: that's a big question. Yeah, that is. I mean I've
Speaker 1: certainly seen a little bit of Jetly, a little bit
Speaker 1: of Jackie chan Um, Crouching Tiger and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: so I'll go Crouching Tiger if that counts. I love
Speaker 1: that movie. It's great. Uh, thanks, Vanessa. Second choice would
Speaker 1: be Kong Fou Panda. That's funny, you know it's not
Speaker 1: really all right, William Angus. What's your favorite movie based
Speaker 1: on a TV show? Um? And what's the or or
Speaker 1: what's the worst one? You know, I'm I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: look at a list, so I'll just go with the
Speaker 1: movie I just saw. I love that Mission Impossible series.
Speaker 1: I've said it before. I think that's one of the
Speaker 1: great action series that there is, So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Mission Impossible. You just like seeing Tom Cruise hurt himself? Sure,
Speaker 1: you're sick? What was the what was the full the movie? Bass?
Speaker 1: Favorite movie based on a TV show? Oh? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: that's tough. There's been plenty of good ones. I guess
Speaker 1: She's like, well, like that Brady Bunch movie. That was good, Okay,
Speaker 1: it was pretty funny. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I remember that
Speaker 1: they've gotten a lot of those very wrong too, though,
Speaker 1: like in movies that should have been okay, like Land
Speaker 1: of the Loss with Will Ferrell and Danny McBride, like
Speaker 1: how do you not? How's that not a good movie? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was just way too hammy or
Speaker 1: something funny. Just wasn't funny. Yeah, you know it was funny.
Speaker 1: Jumanji too, Welcome to the Jungle. Didn't see it. It's awesome?
Speaker 1: Is it good? It's great? All right, it's you know,
Speaker 1: that's not really a movie based on TV show, but
Speaker 1: it's a movie based on a another movie based on
Speaker 1: a book based on a board game. Best of that
Speaker 1: genres the fictional board game though for sure. Uh Lee,
Speaker 1: Last Vica, Last Vica, Great name says. What are your
Speaker 1: thoughts and opinions on the future of the movie going experience?
Speaker 1: How long? Well, we know, how long until we can't
Speaker 1: see movies in the theater? I think there will always
Speaker 1: be movie theaters, that's my take. They're not gonna go away.
Speaker 1: Or someone will just like rig up a projector from
Speaker 1: like an old abandoned phone and shine it through a
Speaker 1: magnifying glass on like a rock rock face or something like.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I always want to share
Speaker 1: films with strangers, that's right, in a room together. Can
Speaker 1: we just take the moment to briefly talk about how
Speaker 1: movie pass is just like tanking and being really crazy
Speaker 1: because I promised somebody on the page that we talked
Speaker 1: about it, well you don't have it, but you've been
Speaker 1: against it from the start, and rightfully so against it.
Speaker 1: I just kind of was like, well, how's that gonna
Speaker 1: of course, of course, and then they ended up running
Speaker 1: out of money several times and not being able to
Speaker 1: pay with their partnerships with different theater groups, I guess.
Speaker 1: And then the last thing was somebody on the movie
Speaker 1: Crushers posted the article about how changing their model. They
Speaker 1: changed their model, but people that had previously canceled their
Speaker 1: subscription were re co opt opted into the new thing
Speaker 1: even though they had canceled, and then people tried to
Speaker 1: cancel it and it seemed like it was locking them out.
Speaker 1: So there's this real like fury on the internet there
Speaker 1: like nine bucks a month or whatever. Um, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's really weird because it's almost this whole like startup
Speaker 1: kind of psychosis with like no, no, we just gotta
Speaker 1: let them see how awesome it is and then they'll
Speaker 1: totally stay. So we'll just trick them into you know,
Speaker 1: like no, what are you thinking. I'm surprised for a
Speaker 1: for a deal that big that their math was so
Speaker 1: wrong or ignored, Like it's not hard to figure out
Speaker 1: the business model for that. I mean, I guess they
Speaker 1: were just relying so hard on it just being the
Speaker 1: hugest thing ever of all time. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of people are playing those kind of numbers games,
Speaker 1: Like even with Netflix, you know, you know how many
Speaker 1: subscribers they have, But I'm still like, what's their revenue model?
Speaker 1: And they apparently are massively in debt and spend all
Speaker 1: this money on promotion and you know, original content and
Speaker 1: insane and I think they're in debt and the trillions
Speaker 1: of dollars I want to say, but then it's backed
Speaker 1: up by like, but our subscriberships growing. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: but where's the real money? It's confusing to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be really curious to see how Netflix uh looks
Speaker 1: at a at a spreadsheet, because it's so nebulous with subscribers,
Speaker 1: like and who is watching? Like, how can you how
Speaker 1: do you justify a budget for this Netflix original movie?
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I can trick how many people
Speaker 1: watch some of it? They can, and they certainly aren't
Speaker 1: giving it, but they certainly aren't giving anybody those numbers, right, Like,
Speaker 1: we don't know how many times some original show and
Speaker 1: Netflix got streamed. It doesn't have like a counter on
Speaker 1: it like YouTube. So they're kind of I don't know,
Speaker 1: we don't know they I'm sure, but what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is always interests me to see, like when they put
Speaker 1: out these smaller movies and they're constantly it's their pipeline
Speaker 1: is just so full of stuff all the time, said
Speaker 1: something like seven hundred things they're gonna make. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I just saw the trailer for Matthew Winer of Madman,
Speaker 1: his new show. Uh it looks great. I cannot wait
Speaker 1: because I think he's a genius and I don't throw
Speaker 1: that word around, but um, it's called The Romanoffs and
Speaker 1: it's an anthology series, a short and thought lg series,
Speaker 1: and I think it might be ten, maybe twelve episodes.
Speaker 1: They supposedly spent like seventy million dollars. It's crazy and
Speaker 1: it's not some you know, wacky, huge epic period piece thing.
Speaker 1: It's uh, I don't know, man, they just threw a
Speaker 1: ton of money at him. So I said, good for
Speaker 1: Matthew Winer. Quick interjection. Netflix is twenty billion dollars in debt,
Speaker 1: not any any I got kind of trillion, so still
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, all right, good infantol. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna finish up with question five from Michael Green. And
Speaker 1: this is good because it's a crowdsource question. We need
Speaker 1: your help, everybody, and I would love it. This could
Speaker 1: be a cool, regular little feature where people are like,
Speaker 1: what was that movie where that thing happened? Because sometimes
Speaker 1: it's hard to, even with advanced Google searches, to recall
Speaker 1: some random movie with a scene from your childhood that
Speaker 1: you can't quite peg. And that's what's going on here
Speaker 1: with Michael Green. He said, when I was a boy
Speaker 1: of maybe seven in the early eighties, I was watching
Speaker 1: HBO with my dad. There was a scene in a
Speaker 1: movie which a surly server at a Rundown cafe brought
Speaker 1: a customer bowl of soup with his thumb in the soup,
Speaker 1: and the customer said something like, well, that took long enough.
Speaker 1: What did you have your thumb up your aspect there
Speaker 1: or what. The server responded something like, well, actually, yeah
Speaker 1: I did. Then the customer said, and that same thumb
Speaker 1: is in my soup. For the life of me, I
Speaker 1: can't find the name of this movie, and it's been
Speaker 1: He's tried for years. Michael Green. I love this. We're
Speaker 1: gonna solve this for you via human beings that are
Speaker 1: listening to this show. So movie crushers, uh again. Early
Speaker 1: eighties movie thumb in soup from a waiter in an
Speaker 1: exchange along the lines of did you have your thumb
Speaker 1: up your ass? Yes, I did the same thumb that's
Speaker 1: in my soup something like that. All right. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to follow up on that one, Michael. I hope
Speaker 1: we find out for you. Yeah, read it. Read it
Speaker 1: wants to know too? Oh? Really? Yeah? But it does
Speaker 1: and have the answer. So someone had already. Somebody was
Speaker 1: asking this on red at It him. Is that Michael Green?
Speaker 1: Um No, I don't think so. But there's no there's
Speaker 1: no answer though it doesn't even say it's literally just
Speaker 1: someone describing this exact scenario you just discussed. That's interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I'm not I'm not going to eat
Speaker 1: that soup. That thumb in the soup is disgusting. And
Speaker 1: the way that says, I'm sorry, Sarah, but I need
Speaker 1: to put my thumb in the soup. I had an
Speaker 1: accident and the doctor told me to keep the thumb warm.
Speaker 1: The man feels out right. Well, I wonder if that's
Speaker 1: even the same movie. I don't know. There's certainly a
Speaker 1: lot more to that. Very interesting, the great thumb Soup mystery.
Speaker 1: See if we can get this solved, the internet will
Speaker 1: thank us. All Right, that's it, everybody. Uh, we've been
Speaker 1: rambling on these episodes and all I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. Chunk. You have to think
Speaker 1: about that one. That's all coming out that that that silent,
Speaker 1: trepidacious moment. Al Right, everyone, So your homework for this
Speaker 1: week is to watch the movie Chinatown. You're welcome. Uh,
Speaker 1: you can thank my guest for next week, Mr Chad Crowley.
Speaker 1: He's a friend of mine and filmmaker. He was the
Speaker 1: director of note on every episode of Stuff you Should Know,
Speaker 1: the TV show, and uh his production company ran that show.
Speaker 1: And he's a good pal. And I've been meaning to
Speaker 1: get some more friends and family in here, so look
Speaker 1: forward to that. And Chinatown is what Chad picked. And
Speaker 1: I got to watch it last night, and boy, oh boy,
Speaker 1: is that a great movie. I've seen it a couple
Speaker 1: of times before. It's sort of one of these movies
Speaker 1: that they, uh, you know, it's sort of the script
Speaker 1: of note in screenplay classes because it's so good and
Speaker 1: tight and efficient and uh, it's really really just a
Speaker 1: great film starring Jack Nicholson, of course, directed by the
Speaker 1: creep Roman Polanski, still a great movie, and written by
Speaker 1: the wonderful and talented Robert town. So watch Chinatown, and
Speaker 1: thanks for tuning in, everybody. We'll see you next week.
