WEBVTT - Mini Crush #154 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.400 Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Very cold 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.400 here in my basement, Noel, how about you? It's a 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.320 little cold in my studio. The heat doesn't circulate in 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.640 here as well as it does the rest of the house. 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.560 I have a little bit of like a wonky heating 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:47.040 distribution system. My bathroom gets like sauna level hot, and 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.519 then this room just gets like none of it. So 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.360 I don't understand. But I'm no HVAC experts, So what 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.640 do I know? Well, no, you're not on the show 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.200 because of your HVAC expertise. I know when I'm hot 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.040 and I know when i'm cold, and that should be enough. 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.399 Well does that mean you can come over and fix 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.880 my heat? I'll give him, I'll give it my best. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.959 Have you seen Brazil? Sure? Remember the amazing role played 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:19.040 portrayed by uh Robert de Niro. He's the rogue heating 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.320 and air expert. It's good stuff. I don't know if 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:28.680 you can see this, chuck, But what do you got there? Hey? Wow, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.800 who's that little thing? This is a stell. This is 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.240 Eden's sister, and Eden is the dentist with her mom 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.760 right now, and I volunteered to watch her so that 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.360 she didn't have to wriggle around the the waiting room. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.760 She can't hear me though, right, she can't hear you. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:48.680 Hold on, she can now say hi, stell? How old 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:52.440 are you? How many fingers is that? Three? Oh? Boy? 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.680 I have a daughter who was five, and I remember 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.880 three was a lot of fun? Are you do? You 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.559 have a lot of fun? How was your Christmas? Talking 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:06.840 to him? My, what did you get for Christmas? She 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.440 got a Mr Potato had a giant Mr Potato had 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:14.440 full of smaller Mr Potato heads. WHOA, that's awesome, right, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.000 that sounds super cool. Yeah, well we're gonna do our show, babe, 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.720 but you can hang out. Just be a little quiet, 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.840 all right, But you can hang out in here if 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:28.240 you want very nice to meet you. Yeah, you can 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.160 get the kiddy, but be very sweet because she's a 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:35.880 little feisty working for home. Everyone. Boy, this show got 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.960 a whole lot cuter than it was the best. That's wonderful. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:44.799 Love the guest appearance. So I thought what we would 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.080 do here? First? My friend is and this circulated a 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.520 while ago, but I never saw it. But someone at 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:56.799 some point found a handwritten note that David Fincher had 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.760 scribbled his favorite twenty six movies and no particular order. 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.919 I'm not aware of this at all. Yeah, it's pretty 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.120 cool and and it you know, has it found its 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.000 way online a while ago, and I think has been 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.600 reborn recently because I just saw it and looking over 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.080 the list, and we'll just kind of list through these things. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.639 It's really kind of cool because they're mainly movies as 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:24.720 opposed to this case cinematt Have you seen mank yet? 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.120 By the way, Chuck, now it's on the list. It's uh, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.200 it's all about getting Emily in the right mood to 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:30.920 watch it, because she wants to, but she's got to 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.080 be in the right mood for that one. I'll tell you, Chuck, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.040 it's less of a mood k neater than you might think. 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.400 I thought the same thing, and I realized it's just 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.720 fun and it moves like Gangbusters. I think you guys 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.760 will both really dig it well. And you know, you 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.320 and I both, along with many other people, obviously agree 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.320 that David Fincher is one of the new masters. Not new, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.520 but you know, one of the current masters of our 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:58.560 gen of our generation. Of our generation, him and Kanye Right. Uh, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.000 so let's go through these moved he's here, he's got 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.880 um and it's interesting how many of these have been 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.680 covered on this very show. But he's got Butch Cassidy 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.640 and the Sundance Kid. Great movie one that we covered 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.960 here with early early, up, early, very early up with 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.919 Mr Paula Tompkins. Chinatown, classic film that I covered on 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.280 the show. That's right, yeah, and then it should we 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.800 play Knowles holes while we're going, Uh, you, well, I've 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.159 seen Now what's the classic line? I always get it wrong? 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:33.039 Business like it's Chinatown, baby, Yeah, that's it. Don't worry 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:37.640 about it. It's Chinatown. Then he goes sing pop yeah, 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:43.200 forget about it. It's only Chinatown. I think it's uh, 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.280 forget about it, Jake. Now I can't even remember you. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.440 I'm so sorry, con Chuck. We'll figure it out, all right. Uh. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.800 Next up we have Dr Strangelove, another movie we've covered. Amazing. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.680 I watched Being There the other night for the first 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.640 time in a long time with the Amazing Eater sellers 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.600 um and it's just great. It's it's something about it. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:08.040 It's like it's somewhere between satire, and like pure realness, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.600 and it's like kind of funny but kind of sweet 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.520 and kind of sad. And I highly recommend everyone. It'll 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.680 make you feel good. Put it that way. Yeah, I mean, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.520 that's a you just described how Ashby's filmmaking career sort 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.760 of as a whole. Uh. Taxi Drivers up, I'm sorry, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.000 Godfather two is up next, and then Taxi Driver just 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.640 back to back. De Niro classics amazing. I mean, these 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.120 are some of the best films of all time. I 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.520 love this. His list is like kind of straight up 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.640 great movies. The line, by the way, is forget it, Jake, 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.280 It's Chinatown. Forget it, Jake. That's right. Uh. Next up, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.640 Noel was being there, oh ship right on. He must 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.520 be a big Peter Sellers guy. Hm, how can you 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.200 not be, except that he was kind of a garbage 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.240 human in real life. That's what I hear. And I 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.400 read something very interesting and I forgot about this at 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.240 the you know, the movie. I'm not going to do 0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.800 a spoiler, but the movie ends in a way that 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.760 could be divisive to some. Let's just say it could 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.240 be interpreted in many ways. Yet it really really can. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.120 And I and I'm not gonna spoil it because it's 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.440 a movie that a lot of people have not seen, 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.039 and I highly recommend it, um as do we all, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.039 as does Mr Fincher apparently. And it ends with credits 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.760 rolling over a deleted outtake scene of Peter Sellers cracking 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:24.080 up trying to say this line and Sellers, yeah, you 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.720 tell that asshole. What's his name, Raphael or whatever? Yeah? 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.760 Exactly um And Sellers hated that they did that. He 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.640 thought it cheap into the ending. He thought it cheap 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.480 into the whole punch and the mystique of the character. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.840 He thinks. I think so too. I didn't forgotten about that, 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.640 and it just read that and then saw it. I 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:46.200 was like, what a weird choice. Yeah, I mean, you 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.000 know it's outtakes are always funny. Seeing someone break character 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:53.240 and crack up is always funny. Bloopers are always fun. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.320 But I think in this case, yeah, I totally agree, Like, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.279 you built all this mystique up about this sort of 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.560 other worldly character, uh, and who are they even? And 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.560 then to end on a blooper reel of that character, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.200 it does kind of knock it down. It happens instantly too, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.120 after the big punch of this final moment that I'm 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.440 edging around. It happens boom instantly before you have a 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.520 chance to like think it's jarring. It's really jarring. How 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.560 made an odd choice. There's a very strange thing to do. Agreed. Uh. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.360 Next up is a movie I have not seen, and 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.440 I really want to all that Jazz. I haven't seen it. 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.760 I think the Bob Fosse Classic could really I want 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.120 to see that. Actually, just that's a big hole for me. Uh. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.840 Next up we have Alien. IM pretty sure that's on 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.880 if you have HBO, Max Chuck, I'm pretty sure all 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.440 that Jazz is on their Little Turner Classic Movies collection. Okay, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.800 all right, I'll have to check that out. Yeah, and 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.880 you know, he ended up directing an alien entry into 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.080 that franchise, and not a very good one, kind of 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.920 one of fentures only missteps. I think I believe it 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.640 was like just after seven or maybe just before, but 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.760 it was definitely considered like an odd choice and not 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.760 a particularly great movie. Um but and I think it's 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.800 almost like one that you don't even consider part of 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.120 his v Well you can't do that, and all you 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.040 can't say just throw out the bad one. I guess 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.040 you're right, Chuck. I guess you're right. Um, but I 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.680 know what you mean, and not like a finer movie. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.240 He kind of absorbed into this franchise and kind of 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.640 a director for higher situation as opposed to an autour 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.120 kind of thing, which is literally everything else that he's 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.200 ever done. I'm surprised we have no one's picked up 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.080 movie yet. I'm dying to do Alien on the show 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.000 Aliens so good? How do you feel about Aliens? That's great, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.199 They're all great. Yeah, well they're not all great, but 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.800 they're all fun. Well, it's funny too. Like. Speaking of 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.920 odd directing choices, one of I think Alien Resurrection was 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.280 directed by the team that did Delicatessen and City of 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:56.079 Lost Children exactly they directed Alien Resurrection. I believe. I 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.840 think you're right. Next up we have the classic Alfred 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.319 Scock film Rear Window. Uh. Next up we have the 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:08.280 Woody Allen classic. Uh, one of the first mocumentaries, zelig great. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.760 I am all holes when it comes to Woody Allen. Uh? Gross? 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.840 Have you not seen any of his movies? Literally, I've 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.560 seen Midnight in Paris. Yeah. I think that's the only 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.400 one I've actually seen all the way through interesting. Uh yeah, 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:30.439 he's he's problematic to champion these days for many years, 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.720 not just these days. Next up we have Cabaret. I 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.240 think that's another Bob Fossey movie, if I'm not mistaken, right, 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.520 I do believe that's right, Yes, Cabaret movie. Foss it was? 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.320 Was he like he did all the choreography too, right? 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.640 Wouldn't he have been very hands on with that stuff? 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:52.319 I think that he was like a dancer, musical choreographer 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.600 or dance choreographer guy. Yeah, yeah, I think he was 0:09:55.640 --> 0:10:00.360 the full multi hyphen it yeah on on. On PDA, 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.840 he's described as an American dancer, musical theater choreographer, actor, 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:11.199 theater director, and filmmaker. Nice resume, nice nice CV, as 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.280 they would say them. And he did the Lenny Bruce 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.520 movie starring Dustin Hoffman, Yeah, which which which I believe 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.760 has zero dance in it, I'm not mistaken, and no dance, 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.400 no dance at all. Next up, we have a movie 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.160 that Josh Clark used to call his favorite movie. Uh, 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.839 paper Moon, m M. But these are all great. Of course, 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.679 Jaws is on their next I love it. Fincher, wouldn't 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.439 know you love not do that? Lawrence of Arabia. Another movie. 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.760 I've covered so many of these on the show Lawrence 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.120 of Arabia, that I have not seen that one. I know, 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.640 after you did it, I was like, you you you 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.679 hadn't seen it either, right or No? I had not 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.080 at the time. Yes, that's right, And so that's what 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.079 made me really want to take the plunge, because it's 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.320 one of those ones you hear about and you just 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.840 hear how epic and gorgeous it is, and I just 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.000 I've always missed it. So I'm gonna put that on 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.480 my list. Now. I have a list, by the way, 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.560 that I'm actually keeping up this lady that I've been 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.280 seeing who hasn't seen a whole lot of movies, admittedly, 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.599 but loves movies. So I've been making this list of 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.120 stuff for us to watch together. Some of them are 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.040 movies that are my old favorites that I want to 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.679 turn her onto, and some are like things that I 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.840 think we'd be fun to watch together. So I'm gonna 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.760 put Lawrence of Arabia on the list. Yeah, I mean, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.240 that's one of those movies where you're like, do I 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.640 really need to see Lawrence of Arabia, And the answer 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.000 is yes, it is that great. Next up, we have 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.800 a movie we have not covered in here, but I 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:35.719 love very much All the President's Men. Uh. Next, it's 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.840 a whole for me. Yeah, all right, you've got some 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.480 Fincher holes, do do? Uh? Next up? Eight and a 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.600 half Fellini's eight and a half. I mean that this 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.040 that one dance is closest to sin them all? Is 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.440 anything on the list? I think? Sure? Great movie though 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:56.120 I've seen all these except for the fosse ones. Uh, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.439 Citizen Kane, how do you not put that on there? 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.880 Totally great movie. They of Heaven. Oh boy, he's really 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.560 after my heart. Another movie I've covered on here. Uh 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.160 Animal House, Oh that's fun. Look at Fincher with his 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.240 Animal House. Pick. People love Animal House. I think he's 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.480 of the right age where that would have been like 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.600 a important movie for him growing up. And it might 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.960 be some nostalgia there. Yeah, because You Contend does not 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.640 age well as a comedy for modern audiences. I did 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.160 not find it so, but I know that people who 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.640 love it grew up with it. Well that's me. Yeah. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.079 Road Warrior, Oh, Fincher seems like a lot of fun 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.480 to hang out with a Road Warriors. The original right, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:43.160 that's that's number one. Road Warriors, number two, Mad Mats original. Okay, 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.920 got Road Warrior is great? Well, they were both great. Um. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.600 I was about to say Fincher is probably a lot 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.319 of fun to hang out with and watch a movie. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.200 But I've heard actually, who was it that told the 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.959 story about watching a movie with David Fincher. Oh, it 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.880 was one of his actors, maybe ship I can't remember, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:02.880 but one of his actors said that he told the 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.160 story about watching a movie. Ad picture is pretty terrible 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.280 because all he does is sit there and kind of 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.280 nitpick it out loud and not in a grumpy way, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.360 but just like, why would they put the camera there? 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.960 What is that light coming in from that back room? 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:20.400 What is that all about? Like the minutia. Next up, 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.360 we have another mel Gibson movie, a movie that I 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.880 think is sort of underrated. That year Year of Living Dangerously. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.560 I am not even aware. Great movie, tell me more 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.480 about it. Uh, well, it's mel Gibson, um, sort of 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.800 a younger mel Gibson. It's a story. It's sort of 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:45.840 a love affair period piece. Okay, Australian movie. Peter Weir. 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.920 Of course, that's why it's great. Great, great Peter Weir, Oh, 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.120 gorgeous poster. It's one of those like classic hand painted, 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.040 like old Hollywood type posts. But it would have been 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.120 what in the seventies, Uh you early eighties, I think, yeah, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.199 eighty two You're Living Dangerously, very good movie. Uh. Then 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:09.720 we have American graffiti, classic Americana. The Terminator. That's fun 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.040 that he would put that on the list because I 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.160 will say, there's something about The Termina We've talked about 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.199 this where it's almost more like a slasher movie than 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.480 it is like a sci fi movie. And I love 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.120 the like eighties kind of you know, like neon drenched 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.760 nostalgia of that and the soundtrack and just like the 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.280 whole like unstoppable kind of Michael Myer's nests. That is 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.640 The Terminator, No for sure in ages pretty well, you know, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.400 like the the effects look a little corny at times, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.520 but it fits the era and it it's great. It's 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.840 still a really fun watch. I think Monty Python and 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.880 the Holy Grail amazing. He's covering all the bases. And 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.280 then the last two are The Exorcist and The Graduate. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.440 M hm wow, I mean this could this could be 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.880 my list In many ways, it's quite a good list. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.960 The graduates so fun because it's like the Graduate too, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.960 me is very like proto wes Anderson, Like it's like 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.119 it's kind of or like it's it's it's very Rushmore 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.600 esque kind of. It's a little more straightforward and dry 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.200 than that, but it has that same kind of wink wink, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.960 kind of like ryeness to it that I really like. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.360 Uh that sets the tone for a lot of those 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.800 types of movies to come. Yeah, I don't. I don't 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.920 think Wes Anderson would deny being influenced by the Graduate 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:32.440 in some ways for sure. Uh yeah, all right, Well 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.040 let's move on. I asked the crushers this yesterday. Noel 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.840 got four hundred replies. Oh goodness. Uh, and I can't 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.480 believe I had not asked this yet. If you could 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:49.760 have a successful career in movies, what would your job be, Um, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.640 what would your job be? Nol Uh? Shoot, man, I 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.480 swear we've done this one before, maybe not this exact one. Um, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.160 I would Yeah, I would love to be like a 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:07.040 music director or like soundtrack curate tour supervisors supervisor exactly. Yeah. 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.320 I could see you doing a really good job doing that. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.480 And well it's a tough record to break into, though, 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.240 I'm sure because everybody wants it. Mix tapes, Yeah, I 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.520 know how to make Yeah. Well it's fun too because 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.600 you know it's called spotting when you actually sit down 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:26.520 and watch the movie and and plant the queue, uh 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.160 you know, along with the director, but they lean on 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.560 the music supervisor to to do their thing and exercise 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:37.480 or expertise to Alright, we're gonna start with Anika Razak Ahmed, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.960 great name. Uh working with budgeting. I want to know 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.440 what goes into making a movie. Sounds boring, but I 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.720 would love a cost breakdown. Yeah, that would be uh. 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.280 I mean a lot of people have their hands in 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.480 that pie. But um, generally that's the line producer anica, 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.760 unless you really wanted to work in like payroll or something, 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.400 and that's that's sort of different. But the line producers 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.760 who kind of helps the budget stay on track and 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.600 make sure everyone has what they need. But that's after 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.000 the budget has been determined, right, so the budget gets 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.800 greenlit basically with the picture or they they say we're 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.840 gonna greenlive this picture, green lave this picture and give it, 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:19.439 you know, a thirty million dollar budget, and that's it, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.840 not anymore but the line producer is is who comes 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.480 up with that budget along with the director and the 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.159 studio and everything. But they literally have to do and 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.439 Emily did this when she was a producer because sometimes 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.200 jobs didn't have line producers. But it's called the budget 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.840 breakdown and their software that helps you basically fill out 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.159 this huge spreadsheet like when they budget a movie. They 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.720 just don't think. This feels like a twenty million dollar picture, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.960 like they have it lined out like we need this 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.040 many people, we need this many actors, we need an 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.200 animal wrangler, we need to stunt people in this day. 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.239 And you know it's very meticulous, is how they come 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.600 up with that number, and then they have to negotiate 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.800 that number obviously and loose stuff like do you really 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:03.480 need that stunt person? Yep, that kind of really need 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:08.159 that explosion? Yeah, exactly. Let me see here, I've been 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:13.639 Louise berkeshare, great name. I'm sorry, butcher that practical special 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:18.080 effects designer, animatronics and budgeting creatures. I'm sorry. Building creatures 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.359 always been my dream. Wow, that's amazing. I love seeing 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.200 all these different jobs. Uh, Hannah, like no one said 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.080 director yet, Hannah Duffy says fully artist Trish latter House 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.040 Skill Breath winner Our Old Friends has set deck set 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.080 decorator who loved a shop for things and then decorate 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:36.800 all types of settings. That is a fun job. I've 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.880 done that. Are they Are they the same person though, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.520 the people that actually do the buying or does that 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.840 a separate job? Well, I mean it depends on the job. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.800 If it's a small TV commercial, you might be buying 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.560 the stuff and in decorating the room. But on big 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.240 movies you have shoppers who go out and do that. 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.640 I've been a few set deck people here in Atlanta 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.240 who kind of have their own like collection of ship 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:01.040 you know what I mean. They have like their own 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.040 little shop and they'll just like, oh, this will work 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.520 really well for this, and they'll just bring in their 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.879 little trinkets and you know, stuff like that. And also 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.480 there's a few houses around here that actually almost are 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:15.680 like these you know movie you know, um prop type houses, 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.520 and they have like yard sales occasionally where you'll go 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.480 buy all this weird miscellaneous furniture and like trinkets and 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.680 cups and cutlery and plates, and it's all stuff that's 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.040 been used for set deck in different productions. Yeah, a 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.879 prop shop going out of business sale was a lot 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.320 of fun. I've actually been to one of those. Uh, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.159 Scott deal. One of world friends says, I'd love to 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.159 be a behind the scenes still photographer. Yeah, set photographer. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.199 That is also Scott. I'm not sure if you knew this, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:46.359 but the person that usually um one of those stills 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:52.000 becomes the movie poster. Interesting. Uh, Usually when you see 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:53.760 the movie poster and it's from the movie, it's not 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.439 like they just said, hey, let's just steal that frame. 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.800 It is actually a photograph that the set photographer took. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.560 That makes sense. Quick, quick backtrack, Chuck, because I'm now 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.080 very fascinated by this movie The Year of Living Dangerously, 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.240 which we spoke about earlier from everyone will probably remember 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:14.280 the actor Linda Hunt, who famously was the like visual 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.199 I think she maybe does the voice to visual inspiration 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.600 for that weird little character and the impossible in the 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:25.679 incredible movie Lynda Hunt. She is in Living Dangerously and 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.040 was nominated for or She One rather an Academy Award 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.200 and she became the first person to win an Oscar 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:35.000 for portraying a character of the opposite sex plays a 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.119 male character and that that's fascinating. I really putting that 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.080 one on my list now because of that that pushed 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.560 it over the top. No, I love Linda Hunt, but 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.479 that's fascinating, and now that I've been looking it up 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.200 and seeing some stills, it looks like a really fun movie, 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.639 like a very interesting movie. So I'm looking forward to. 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.720 Austin Handler, one of our oldest friends says, uh, he's 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.960 an interior designer now, so feasibly I could transition to 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:03.600 set designer, but would rather be director, cinematographer or director 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.320 of photography, which is the same thing as a cinematographer. Yeah, 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.520 Austin's at your sides high my friend might as well. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.879 You know what I would want to do, nol director. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:15.520 Oh yeah, you should. You could do it, Chuck, you're 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.000 good at You're good at Boston people around. Uh. Editor, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:19.600 that would be a lot of fun too, because I 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.720 love the edit process. But oh yeah, yeah, if you're 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.480 if you're a director, I mean you also sit in 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:26.920 the edit bay a lot of the time and help 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.600 make those decisions, so it's like a collaborative kind of 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.320 process a lot of the time. Tracy Fox, I want 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.639 to be the person that creates props, prop master, I'm 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.880 sure there's a technical term and I don't know. Yeah, 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.840 I mean the prople or something like that. Well, I mean, 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.760 you know, sometimes there can be a prop shop where 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:47.480 you are actually building things if it does not exist. 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.800 But the prop master also just works with the props. 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:52.920 Like I think the rule is anything the actor touches 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.680 is a prop as opposed to a decoration. Got it. So, 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.320 like you know, if you pick up a pop watch 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.200 and look at it, it's a prop. A gun is 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.000 a prop. And oftentimes they'll have to have like many 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.119 many duplicates of it or like different versions of it, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.520 especially if it becomes a plot point in the movie 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.080 and like you know, kind of travels with the character 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.199
