Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Monday. I'm here with
Speaker 1: Mr Nol, Mr Ramsey, Chuck. You know what the scariest
Speaker 1: thing in the world is to me? Um baby clowns.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not far off um misshapen Disney characters
Speaker 1: that are drawn incorrectly, or costumes that are designed, there's
Speaker 1: something that where they're just off enough that it gives
Speaker 1: you this really just sickening, kind of weird, unnatural few line,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I have no idea where
Speaker 1: do you see misshapen? Here's here's a good example. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a daycare on my street clearly has unsanctioned Disney
Speaker 1: characters drawn all over it, and it just has like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use uncanny valley. That's not the right term,
Speaker 1: but it's got to this sort of like unnatural quality
Speaker 1: to And it goes to show that you may think
Speaker 1: these character designs are simple, but there's a real magic
Speaker 1: to getting them just right sure being being drawn correctly correctly. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my starting thought for the day. So we got
Speaker 1: a lot to catch up on. Nol. We just um
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, for the podcast Awards, and after having
Speaker 1: been it was it was fun. It was very fun.
Speaker 1: You know, it was fine. I was sort of like,
Speaker 1: you know, award ceremonies. But I think the key, which
Speaker 1: is what they did is keeping it to an hour,
Speaker 1: right on the nose and in moving. They kept it moving.
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell kicked off the show. There were some laughs.
Speaker 1: He I'm sure he got in a car about seventeen
Speaker 1: seconds after he left the stage and left and his
Speaker 1: full denim regalia counting uh. Contan showed up to accept
Speaker 1: his award. He walked in five minutes before got his word,
Speaker 1: and I think he was probably in his car. Quite
Speaker 1: tall man. Seventeen seconds later, my old buddy Matt Gorley
Speaker 1: was on stage with him as his producer, which was wonderful.
Speaker 1: Jean Claude van Dam was there. How weird was that?
Speaker 1: That was? Uh? The highlights the podcast? He needs one,
Speaker 1: my man. He doesn't everyone get a podcast? Now? The
Speaker 1: Ageless wonder too. He looked exactly the same. We were
Speaker 1: in line together, right were we We were sort of interesting, yeah,
Speaker 1: but he was like right there, like he was right
Speaker 1: in front of us in line. We I did the
Speaker 1: red carpet thing, with my stuff that it wants you
Speaker 1: to know, uh cohorts, for the first time I've ever
Speaker 1: done that, and right behind Jean Claude van dam Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean he looked like he could still leap up
Speaker 1: and kick us in the face without even like breaking
Speaker 1: a sweat. My kid was with me, as you know,
Speaker 1: it was my my plus one, and I had to
Speaker 1: I thought I was freaking out on the lines, he said,
Speaker 1: Jean Claude van down. Of course, She's like, who then?
Speaker 1: Is that? Understandably? But I showed her the training montage
Speaker 1: video from Kickboxer the next day and she was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's who that was. I still don't know him, but great.
Speaker 1: She thought it was fun, nothing like a good montage
Speaker 1: from those types of movies from from the eighties. And well,
Speaker 1: here's my secret. I don't think I ever saw John
Speaker 1: Claude van damn movie that was not my jam not
Speaker 1: even Double Impact, not even best of the best. Was
Speaker 1: he in it? I don't know the Kickboxer too? What
Speaker 1: do you got time Cop? Time Cop had to have
Speaker 1: seen time that can't be stopped? Was that the tagline?
Speaker 1: Is that? Why is that because he because he can
Speaker 1: control time? I guess he doesn't really control time though.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Ramsey, what's the deal with that movie?
Speaker 1: What's the conceit? Um? Aren't there multiple time? He's not
Speaker 1: the only time cop. He is a time cop. He's
Speaker 1: like displaced in time. There's something about the same matter
Speaker 1: cannot touch, Like you can't go back into the future
Speaker 1: and touch yourself because hey, hey, hey, it's like it
Speaker 1: no future masturbating, got it? Interesting? Time writer? Now that
Speaker 1: was the movie Time Writer two? Uh? With what's his face? From?
Speaker 1: Fred Ward? Fred Willard? Fred Ward? Who's fred Ward? Fred Ward?
Speaker 1: Come on, nol You ever seen Tremors? Yeah, well then
Speaker 1: you've seen fred Ward. Which one is he in Tremors? Uh?
Speaker 1: He was the main guy along with the Bacon. Tremors
Speaker 1: are the one with the worms like the underground desert monsters.
Speaker 1: Fred Ward? You know fred Ward Classic? He was in Shortcuts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, big square jawed, the player looking guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, he's good. I like him, Time Writer.
Speaker 1: Check it out, Time Writer. Um, it was really fun though, Chuck.
Speaker 1: You You and I and and some other colleagues Alex
Speaker 1: and uh gosh, Jerry of course shared a car on
Speaker 1: the way back, and you kind of gave us the tour.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. The l A studio tour,
Speaker 1: l A studio to or which you know, and that
Speaker 1: you pay good money for those, and you really gave
Speaker 1: us the full experience. Yeah, the Warner lot and some
Speaker 1: of your experiences working on pictures there Universal Studios. And
Speaker 1: then I did something I don't do. I ghosted you
Speaker 1: guys so hard, with good reason. We went to a
Speaker 1: bar afterwards, everyone in Hollywood, and I walked in and
Speaker 1: it smelled like, uh, it smelled like there had been
Speaker 1: a sewage burst at some point that was in the carpet. Still,
Speaker 1: it smells like shit, like literal ship. I thought it
Speaker 1: was more of a vomb kind of smell. Really personally,
Speaker 1: that was something going on. Man. I walked in and
Speaker 1: I almost vomb it was. I went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I saw Matt Frederick and I was like, dude, I
Speaker 1: don't think I can stay in here. Um. And I
Speaker 1: went outside to get some air and realized I need
Speaker 1: to go home. I completely I I I relayed your
Speaker 1: your condolence. How long did you guys stay there in
Speaker 1: the voluntary um? You know, uh, full disclosure. I actually
Speaker 1: left my kid in the hotel room and went down there.
Speaker 1: She was just done around the corner and went down
Speaker 1: there to hang out with you know, some of the
Speaker 1: folks that were in from from out of town. Um.
Speaker 1: I did a moratorium one night moratorium in my dry
Speaker 1: January to have a couple of tiky drinks with the
Speaker 1: with the with the gang. So he stayed for a bit.
Speaker 1: I stayed for a literally one my time. I don't
Speaker 1: how you can stand that some of those other folks
Speaker 1: didn't notice. I was gown away. I'm gonna be having fun.
Speaker 1: I was like, does no one smells? And then people
Speaker 1: kept showing up. Lauren showed up, Holly showed up. You know,
Speaker 1: Holly's got a discerning sense of smell. I was really surprised.
Speaker 1: Maybe I think it's something you just kind of accept
Speaker 1: and then you moved past it. You were not able
Speaker 1: to do that. Um. Yeah, I had a great l
Speaker 1: a experience, especially with my kid. Was our first time
Speaker 1: we hiked up to Griffith Park Observatory. She hated every
Speaker 1: step of the way until we got there, because it's
Speaker 1: that's a pretty serious hike. You know, you can drive
Speaker 1: that too, but it's to me, it's all about the
Speaker 1: hike because they earn it when you get there, and
Speaker 1: it's such a beautiful spot. That is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite places in Los Angeles as I just love it
Speaker 1: in the building, the architecture. See that from my the
Speaker 1: window of my apartment. I could see from my kitchen
Speaker 1: window that beautiful Hollywood signed in the observatory, so lovely.
Speaker 1: We did the whole thing. We did the planetarium show,
Speaker 1: super old school, the rotating orb thing. You know, it
Speaker 1: was just great. They've got seated up a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it still feels very old school um U. Then
Speaker 1: I went to San Francisco for Sketch Fest. Uh stuff
Speaker 1: you should know. Live was great. Movie Crush Live was
Speaker 1: interesting and fun. Did not record it, by the way,
Speaker 1: so uh, you're never gonna get to hear it everyone.
Speaker 1: That is for the thirty six people that were in
Speaker 1: that room, well those are a lucky and select few.
Speaker 1: It was very loose and kind of goofy and fun.
Speaker 1: But I ended up bringing a lot of my friends
Speaker 1: on stage. I had been an Adam from Friendly Fire
Speaker 1: and the Greatest gin Um. I had my friends How
Speaker 1: Lublin and Mark Agliardi from We Got This with Mark
Speaker 1: and How and my buddy Ben Acker and you know,
Speaker 1: I was just texting all my buddies over there, said hey,
Speaker 1: don't you just come and joined the pan. All well,
Speaker 1: it sounds like a good time. It was a good time. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I went back to l A yesterday and
Speaker 1: had my Scott Ackerman meeting an interview and he uh,
Speaker 1: that was almost the Noel Helm scream it was. That
Speaker 1: was sort of a internal screen, so that will have
Speaker 1: already been out. I think I think that's coming out
Speaker 1: actually this week. But um boy, just class act. It
Speaker 1: was right up there with Ben Sinclair of High Maintenance
Speaker 1: is like my personal high water marks for interviews. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't get to sit down with your hero as much.
Speaker 1: And I was a nervous I can't I bet, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear it. I mean, I'm a huge,
Speaker 1: huge fan from way back in the Mr. Show days.
Speaker 1: He was a good guy man and just a sweet sweetheart.
Speaker 1: And like you know, we were supposed to meet a
Speaker 1: record from three to four, and our original meeting went
Speaker 1: till about three fifteen, and we recorded to like five thirty,
Speaker 1: and then he sat in there and just chitch at
Speaker 1: it for another fifteen minutes after recorded and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: thank you for your time, and he's like, that's a holiday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got nothing going on, right, I said, well, thank
Speaker 1: you for that too. But it was just so exciting
Speaker 1: and he was so um prepared for the apartment and
Speaker 1: to talk about that, like he had watched the night
Speaker 1: before and read up on his Billy Wilder book. And
Speaker 1: you know when guests take it seriously like that, it
Speaker 1: makes a big deaf, you know. So he's the best.
Speaker 1: I hope we're new pals. Yeah, well, you know, hook
Speaker 1: me up, Chuck, take me to lunch with you guys.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to press it, but I want to
Speaker 1: be a pal. And then after that, I went to
Speaker 1: It was kind of one of the great l A days.
Speaker 1: I went to a wine bar, my favorite wine bar bar,
Speaker 1: Covell and Let's feelis where you Sean will take care
Speaker 1: of you. There, really good wine and it was flooded
Speaker 1: with famous people. Jason man Zukas is over there. I
Speaker 1: want to go talk to him because he almost came
Speaker 1: on the show, like we had emailed about him coming on,
Speaker 1: but he couldn't do it. Paul Shear has been on.
Speaker 1: He was on a date. I was just waiting on
Speaker 1: her to get up and go to the bathroom before
Speaker 1: I went and talked. That finally happened. I went and
Speaker 1: said hi to him. He was nice enough for some
Speaker 1: random guy approaching him in a bar that says like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're almost on my show and blah blah blah. Um.
Speaker 1: He was fine. He was nice. He was in a
Speaker 1: jerk or anything, but there was no love connection. That's fair,
Speaker 1: that's fair. Kate Brillant was in there, the comedian who
Speaker 1: uh had a very big role in the Tarantino film recently.
Speaker 1: She played, I mean not a big part in the film,
Speaker 1: but a big deal for her to get in that film. Um,
Speaker 1: she was the ticket take her the movie theater when
Speaker 1: um to see her own film. Actually watched that for
Speaker 1: the second time on the plane back from my l
Speaker 1: a week, which was really fun because there's so many
Speaker 1: like you know, of the like Hollywood landmarks. That was
Speaker 1: But yeah, Kate Brillant was in there. And then I
Speaker 1: look around and guess who the funk walks by? Paul Shore? Guys,
Speaker 1: what man Louise where in a head bandanna like it's seven?
Speaker 1: Does that? Does he? Yeah? I think so? All right?
Speaker 1: Well he did? He did that night, and he was
Speaker 1: the Weise and it did not talk to him. No, No,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know. He sort of has like a
Speaker 1: natural sort of perimeter orb of like kind of you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you get too close? Yeah, every everyone.
Speaker 1: I was doing this in real time on the Facebook
Speaker 1: page and people are like, go get Pauly Shore on
Speaker 1: the movie Crush. I was like, you can't really do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else is he up to these days?
Speaker 1: Did he made like a really bad horror movie that
Speaker 1: looked really It's not like he's too busy, but you
Speaker 1: know how it is like, Hey, you go to podcast,
Speaker 1: you want to be on it? Like, you know, I
Speaker 1: bet he doesn't even know what a podcast is. Shaw,
Speaker 1: I'm just teaching. Uh. And then I went to dinner,
Speaker 1: had a very nice, quiet dinner with Ben Harrison of
Speaker 1: Friendly Fire and his lovely wife Rachel and where you go?
Speaker 1: It was just great. We went to, uh, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess we plug in restaurants. Know. I always like
Speaker 1: to know for my next trip where I should go.
Speaker 1: Let me see what the name of this place. It
Speaker 1: was called All Something, All Time and Let's Feels and
Speaker 1: it was delicious and boy, we put a hurting on
Speaker 1: the old Immigrant Express card American American. I went to
Speaker 1: um the Magic Castle with like, yeah, how that pretty exciting. Um.
Speaker 1: It was great. It was everything you'd expect from a
Speaker 1: place called the Magic Castle. Had a wonderful time. We
Speaker 1: went to brunch and then we went to like all
Speaker 1: three shows. They do like a kind of a medium
Speaker 1: up close magic show and room with maybe like around
Speaker 1: thirty seats. I've been in there and that was really great.
Speaker 1: That was maybe my favorite because the guy like levitated
Speaker 1: a small table and then brought a kid up on say,
Speaker 1: they really focus on the kids on Sunday because it's
Speaker 1: the only day the kids are allowed at all, and
Speaker 1: so they always reserve the first two rows for kids.
Speaker 1: So they tend to include the kids pretty regularly and
Speaker 1: every show, you know, I never noticed the two times
Speaker 1: I went there were no kids. There's no kids allowed
Speaker 1: any other time Sunday brunch. UM. So he had this
Speaker 1: table with like a purple table cloth on, and he
Speaker 1: put he held onto the edges of the table cloth
Speaker 1: and just started kind of dancing with the table and
Speaker 1: it was floating around. I was, I was, I mean,
Speaker 1: it sounds silly, but I was almost moved to tears
Speaker 1: By how badass it was, because I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: not a prepared space. It was very much like an impromptu,
Speaker 1: just kind of chart parlor. There's no wires. He was
Speaker 1: moving his hands all around. I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how this works. I don't understand that. And I love that.
Speaker 1: Moved to tears By Magic. Tears By Magic, that's your
Speaker 1: autobiography now. And my kid had to kind of sit
Speaker 1: separate because she got the front row and me and
Speaker 1: my buddy who was with we're in the back row.
Speaker 1: And he was the same way. He would be the
Speaker 1: same like wide eyed wonder about the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: it made me very happy and that was cool. And
Speaker 1: then like he brought this little girl up and he
Speaker 1: got hurt to do it. And she could do the
Speaker 1: you know, she could levet take the table. She had
Speaker 1: the gift. It's just I don't know how again, no
Speaker 1: no idea how this ship works. But that's love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she had the gifts. He gave it to her. He
Speaker 1: sprinkled magic to stun her um and and then and
Speaker 1: gave her the power. And then there was like a
Speaker 1: super small parlor magic room where it's like maybe like
Speaker 1: ten people. And this this twenty one year old kid
Speaker 1: named um Kevin something who's been on the Penn and
Speaker 1: Teller Um. It's called fool Me, I think it's what
Speaker 1: it's called, where they have magicians present tricks to them
Speaker 1: and they try to figure out what the trick is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that guy Kevin Magic Hands. Is that him? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. But he's been on the show twice apparently,
Speaker 1: and that's rare for them to bring somebody back a second,
Speaker 1: and he fooled them both times. He did this one
Speaker 1: trick where he gets the kids to pull a card
Speaker 1: out of the deck and he shows them the card
Speaker 1: and shows whoever they want to show the card he puts,
Speaker 1: puts it back in the deck, and then he you know,
Speaker 1: first first time he pulls it, just pulls it. Here's
Speaker 1: your card, Yes, that's my card. Second time, the kid
Speaker 1: kind of doesn't remember that which card it was. You
Speaker 1: remembers the suit but not the number, and so he
Speaker 1: pulls a card and it's the right suit but the
Speaker 1: wrong number, and then he kind of shakes the card
Speaker 1: and you literally see the cards move around on the
Speaker 1: hard in the numbers like morph into the right number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like, what is this the tiniest LCD screen?
Speaker 1: I mean, ever, I guess it is, but it's man,
Speaker 1: it was cool. Well I'll tell you what it's not.
Speaker 1: Is real. Are you sure, Chuck? Are you sure? Because
Speaker 1: I was pretty convinced. I'm not a synic. I love magic,
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's always I know that, you know,
Speaker 1: I know. But that's what they call suspension of disbelief.
Speaker 1: It's like the movies makes it more fun. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: Kevin Magic hands, Kevin Magic Hands. Hat's off to you, sir,
Speaker 1: hands off? All right, Noel, Did I cover everything here? So?
Speaker 1: I think so? Manzukas caper Lamp probably sure, dinner all
Speaker 1: My kid got to meet her favorite pop star in
Speaker 1: the whole entire world, Billie Eilish. That's wonderful. There was
Speaker 1: a we got a meet and greet at this concert
Speaker 1: and she was moved to tears like I was for Magic.
Speaker 1: That is super sweet, really great picture together, and um,
Speaker 1: it was a really proud moment for me because she
Speaker 1: handled it so beautifully and it was very meaningful for
Speaker 1: her and I got to hook it up and then
Speaker 1: we got to see her before that was really good show.
Speaker 1: It was great. Really, I haven't heard anything, but not
Speaker 1: to check it out, all right, nol Uh. We got
Speaker 1: to wake up this morning to some sad news. The
Speaker 1: great Terry Jones passed away. What I didn't know that
Speaker 1: Monty Python, founder, director of my favorite Monty Python film,
Speaker 1: The Life of Brian very sad form of dementia, died
Speaker 1: at seventy seven, and so I just put a little
Speaker 1: memorial post up and thought I'd read some of these
Speaker 1: comments and dedicate the show to him. Dennis Michael Avery
Speaker 1: says it's impossible to overstate the impact Terry Jones had
Speaker 1: on me growing up. Of rarely laughed harder than watching
Speaker 1: and re enacting Monty Python moments as a ten year old.
Speaker 1: He taught me that you can use your brain to
Speaker 1: cheer people up, that life is never too dark for
Speaker 1: a cheerful moment of shared irreverence, rest his soul. Wow,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite Monty Python movie? Well, as I just said, life,
Speaker 1: that's your favorite entirely really not just partially? Well, I
Speaker 1: mean one, Okay, give me your top three then uh
Speaker 1: it would go Life of Brian, Holy grail. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean those are kind of the two
Speaker 1: for me. What about Meaning of Life? The Meaning of
Speaker 1: Life was okay. I always really liked that. I think
Speaker 1: it was the age that I saw it. It has
Speaker 1: a lot more kind of gross out humor in it
Speaker 1: than I think most of their other stuff does, so
Speaker 1: that grabbed me. It was fine. I didn't love it.
Speaker 1: I definitely loved um Life of Brian, though it took
Speaker 1: a while for me to get Life of Brian. It's
Speaker 1: a movie for a bit of an older a movie
Speaker 1: for year old. I discovered Monty Python like most people
Speaker 1: did through you know, The Holy Grail. That one was
Speaker 1: just enough of a mix of like high brow and
Speaker 1: low brow humor that I think he grabbed me and
Speaker 1: I was totally sold. Um. Then I discovered The Flying
Speaker 1: Circus the TV show and love that. Life of Brian
Speaker 1: I didn't really fully love until maybe a couple of years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to get religious satire as an
Speaker 1: older person a little more, but you also get things
Speaker 1: like The Biggest dickth that's uh good stuff. Kent Campus
Speaker 1: says impossible to overstate the impact they have my comedy
Speaker 1: and more broadly, our culture on comedy. Not in my
Speaker 1: comedy Flying Circus in Holy Grail or Touchstones for folks
Speaker 1: of a certain age, could be used as measuring rods
Speaker 1: of one's companion ability. Interesting a miserable way to go
Speaker 1: for a brilliant comedian and storyteller. Be free. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Flying Circus is up there beyond like a
Speaker 1: third movie pick. That's what I would throw the Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: it's fantastic, especially, I mean it's just the whole synthesis
Speaker 1: of all of it, the way it all comes together,
Speaker 1: like it's it's the template for stuff like a Mr.
Speaker 1: Show or for like, you know, really heavy second kids
Speaker 1: in the psychedelic word thing. Well, but it's got all
Speaker 1: those crazy animations and Terry Gillian stuff with the transitions,
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's set the tone for so
Speaker 1: much weird comedy. I love it totally. Hannah Bussouri says
Speaker 1: so sad to hear this. I love the Flying Circus
Speaker 1: in the movies they made R I P. Terry Always
Speaker 1: Look on the Bright Side of Death. And now for
Speaker 1: something completely different, Ramsey, what's your favorite money byth that movie?
Speaker 1: You into those? Oh yeah, I mean we watched The
Speaker 1: Holy Grail a lot when we were kids. We watched
Speaker 1: that one a lot too. You know. I think what
Speaker 1: you said is like it takes a you know, life
Speaker 1: of Brian you get when you get older you kind
Speaker 1: of appreciate that a little bit differently than you do
Speaker 1: because I mean, you have nights and in the Holy Grail,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's not gonna like that? It was much
Speaker 1: more made for not made for children. But you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I always considered like Fish called Wanda and
Speaker 1: and a lot of Terry Gilliam movies part of the
Speaker 1: whole camp. But yeah, me too. But I I really
Speaker 1: did enjoy The Holy Grail. I mean that's where really
Speaker 1: where my love for those guys came from. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure I love both of them. I mean, he isn't
Speaker 1: able to quote Holy Grail almost by heart. I have
Speaker 1: a really distinct memory from when my kid was little. Um,
Speaker 1: not not too too long ago, but like she's eleven now,
Speaker 1: I guess she was probably like maybe maybe eight. Um.
Speaker 1: We were at dinner, a family dinner, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was really she'd get a kick out of the
Speaker 1: scene from Holy Crow where the rabbit um bites the
Speaker 1: guy's head off, you know, the little rabbit and then
Speaker 1: his head falls off. It freaked her out and she
Speaker 1: started crying at this dinner table and I looked like
Speaker 1: a real monster, which is funny because it's so like
Speaker 1: unbelievably and to her again recently and she was like,
Speaker 1: what was wrong with me? You know, because that's the
Speaker 1: whole point. All of the violence is so cartoonist that
Speaker 1: it's not disturbing or upsetting at all. You know, like
Speaker 1: when the Night the Black Night gets his arms and
Speaker 1: legs and stuff cut off, it's not like disturbing. It's
Speaker 1: just dumb and funny and light and wonderful. And I
Speaker 1: think one of my favorite moments. I mean, every time
Speaker 1: you watch that movie still, like another part jumps out.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like watching spinal tap um in that
Speaker 1: scene where he is being uh, you know, slimmed one
Speaker 1: by one. It's he's down to just the one leg
Speaker 1: and he's hopping there and the swing and there's that
Speaker 1: cut away for a second and you just hear the
Speaker 1: thud and then it cuts back and he's of course
Speaker 1: just playing it on the ground. Yeah, so good. What
Speaker 1: do you say? Sellen carl Center, old friend says, my
Speaker 1: favorite python brilliant storyteller, director and author I recommend everyone
Speaker 1: watch Eric the Viking. Oh did he direct that? I
Speaker 1: bet he did. I'm not sure if I knew that?
Speaker 1: What is that? What era is that? Uh? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a Monty Python film. I
Speaker 1: think it was Tim Robbins and the late eighties maybe
Speaker 1: early nineties, I want to say late eighties Terry Jones
Speaker 1: written and directed. That's great, really good to know. Though,
Speaker 1: there's a fresh one for me to check out, because
Speaker 1: I have not even heard of this fresh out of
Speaker 1: the oven from exactly Randy Rodriguez says, dementia all forms
Speaker 1: is a nightmare diagnosis, very sad and painful. It was
Speaker 1: almost a relief when my wife's grandmother died because she
Speaker 1: was no longer suffering. And that's what's so sad about
Speaker 1: this disease. As a person afflicted sometimes is inconsolable, and
Speaker 1: you could not find relief from it. Loved the movies
Speaker 1: and hopefully he can rest peacefully now. Indeed, it's a
Speaker 1: bad way to go, folks. Um Noah Cornick just has
Speaker 1: a quote, someday all of this will be yours. What
Speaker 1: the curtains when they're motioning through the window out of
Speaker 1: the castle, great, great, big tracts, a huge trucks of land.
Speaker 1: Zack Pointer rest in peace. Thanks for the laughs. And
Speaker 1: we'll finish up with Scott Field. The scene in Life
Speaker 1: of Brian when the Wise Men stop at the Cohen
Speaker 1: House and still one of my favorite scenes from any
Speaker 1: is still one of my favorites from any scene ever.
Speaker 1: R I P. Mandy Cohen. All right, good stuff, very sad.
Speaker 1: So now we're gonna finish up with a couple of
Speaker 1: uh recommendations for me for stream this. And you guys,
Speaker 1: if you've been watching something on the plane, you know,
Speaker 1: get those cross country flights. Flew to Seattle, then down
Speaker 1: to l A, then back up to San Francisco, then
Speaker 1: back down to l A, then back home to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: So I had plenty of watching opportunities, and I watched
Speaker 1: a couple of great documentaries, one called Framing John DeLorean, uh,
Speaker 1: which is which is a weird sort of documentary and
Speaker 1: that it's part documentary, part recreation with Alec Baldwin as
Speaker 1: John de Lorean, but then behind the scenes of shooting
Speaker 1: the recreations, like Alec Baldwin in the makeup chair talking
Speaker 1: about De Lorian and stuff. But it manages to work Um,
Speaker 1: it's a incredibly compelling story this guy's life, and I
Speaker 1: know a touch of it, Like I know he did
Speaker 1: something weird and shady, right or well, I mean he
Speaker 1: invented the DeLorean, and which of course from Back to
Speaker 1: the Future. That's very ironically that movie came out after
Speaker 1: the Doloran car had crashed and burned, so it's a
Speaker 1: little late. Uh. And then he was involved in a
Speaker 1: cocaine deal, um to try and raise money to help
Speaker 1: his struggling car company. Was acquitted. Um. He lived like
Speaker 1: one township away from me in New Jersey where I lived.
Speaker 1: He lived in Bedminster. Um. But really just it's got
Speaker 1: it all. It's got cars and ladies and and drugs
Speaker 1: and the c I A and d e A and
Speaker 1: FBI and uh, you know South American drug lords and
Speaker 1: really really compelling story, very cool, and a movie I
Speaker 1: watched yesterday another documentary that I cannot recommend enough called
Speaker 1: General Magic, and it is about the company General Magic
Speaker 1: that was spun out of Apple in the late eighties
Speaker 1: and they essentially designed the first smartphone in nine. Um,
Speaker 1: it was just too soon. Brilliant people, brilliant concept. But
Speaker 1: it was the Internet killed it that it was a
Speaker 1: closed system and the Internet, the Worldwide Web, gets invented,
Speaker 1: uh and you know, so this thing couldn't connect to that,
Speaker 1: and people didn't buy it. It was a little too expensive,
Speaker 1: a little too clunky at first, but conceptually it was
Speaker 1: all there. When you look at the designs, it was
Speaker 1: a fucking iPhone and all of the people it's really
Speaker 1: need at the end, all of the people that worked
Speaker 1: on that team, these kids in Silicon Valley went on.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like Twitter CEO and co founder, founder
Speaker 1: of Nest, inventor of iPod, uh Obama's first chief technology officer,
Speaker 1: and they're like, all of them did brilliant things. Is
Speaker 1: there a sense that that really did lay the groundwork
Speaker 1: for like what the iPhone? Yeah, it's really really good.
Speaker 1: That sounds cool. I saw the little thumbnail for both
Speaker 1: of those. Good man, such a good story and really
Speaker 1: really good stuff. What about you, guys, what you've been watching?
Speaker 1: I've been watching. I finished it and then I'm onto
Speaker 1: another thing that two things that I've been meaning to
Speaker 1: watch for a long time, The Leftovers on HBO, which
Speaker 1: is Dane series that he did before watch Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that. I heard it was great. It's phenomenal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's so good. I had heard from so many
Speaker 1: people that like it. It like after season one it
Speaker 1: became some of the best television they've ever seen, and
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, it's hyperbole, you know, but it's really true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's got my boy. I love that guy at
Speaker 1: the lead. Justin Threw fantastic is one of my favorite.
Speaker 1: It's so good. Season two is better than season one.
Speaker 1: Season three is better than season two. It really ramps up,
Speaker 1: and just three broadens the world a lot. Yes, and
Speaker 1: it does that thing that Lost kind of gets shipped
Speaker 1: on for not doing We're Lost kind of wrote a
Speaker 1: check that it couldn't cash and it sort of seems
Speaker 1: like it ran a steam before it had enough time
Speaker 1: to really take you where the mystery promised it would
Speaker 1: take you. But Leftovers can cash it big time. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: big time, I think, so, yeah, maybe I should get
Speaker 1: Really and it's only three seasons, they're not mega long,
Speaker 1: you know, they I really really recommend it. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a quick one. HBO for sticking by their man
Speaker 1: and not pushing the second season of me that sucks.
Speaker 1: You won't get it, but it does suck. He had
Speaker 1: said that on the Watchman podcast, you know, because um
Speaker 1: Craig Mason was asking him about what season two would
Speaker 1: look like, and uh, he said, you know, my idea
Speaker 1: for the rep season one was so big and important
Speaker 1: to me and zeitgeiste that you know, that was the
Speaker 1: show that I was going to make, and that's what
Speaker 1: I thought of it as like a self contained thing.
Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings. I mean, I'm disappointed because I
Speaker 1: love um Regina King and her character and I would
Speaker 1: love to see more of that. And I thought the
Speaker 1: world they set up was so cool and really honor
Speaker 1: the original material. But you know, there's there's something to
Speaker 1: be said for doing a really great thing and just
Speaker 1: letting it be that thing. It takes a lot of
Speaker 1: self control and totally of discipline, and you never that
Speaker 1: from studios. So they obviously really respect and appreciate Linda
Speaker 1: Oft enough that they're like, they didn't want to shoot
Speaker 1: on his vision by putting somebody else in the chair.
Speaker 1: So I appreciated that. Rames he even watching anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it started the Outsider um which is on HBO. It's
Speaker 1: Jason Bateman. Um, I think it's his pet project. Steen
Speaker 1: King short story. Really Yeah, it has a new right Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's only three episodes out, but it has that true
Speaker 1: detective vibe to it, but it's a little bit more
Speaker 1: supernatural because of the character and trailer looked cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How many episodes have you seen? I've seen all three.
Speaker 1: Is it good? Yeah? Yeah, enjoyed it. I mean if
Speaker 1: you like Jason Bateman like art, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: right there. He has that. He's that's the character. He's
Speaker 1: not doing like you know, rested development type stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been cool to see his development. Like I think
Speaker 1: Jason Bateman is so great at the comedy stuff and
Speaker 1: he does his Bateman thing. You know, he's a great
Speaker 1: straight man like his his comedy is perfect. But it's
Speaker 1: good to see that his development has not been arrested
Speaker 1: nout for you to go been Yeah. Yeah, sure he's great.
Speaker 1: So he's he's been awesome and things he's been doing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that guy blew up. Huh he's good.
Speaker 1: Which want is he? He's in everything he's talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd recognize him. He's in like everything right now. See
Speaker 1: look there to your right that guy. Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Also been catching up on better call Saul. If you
Speaker 1: guys haven't seen that, it's it's almost, I would say,
Speaker 1: very much equal in quality to Breaking Back. I never
Speaker 1: saw it, and it's the kind of thing where one
Speaker 1: day I know I'm going to go back and just
Speaker 1: watch it all. That's how it was for me. I
Speaker 1: stopped for no good reason. It was great, but I
Speaker 1: just moved on to something else. I got distracted or whatever.
Speaker 1: So now I'm like in it hardcore and it's just
Speaker 1: really great. Yeah, I need to do that. Auckerman does
Speaker 1: a great Odin Kirk impression. Um, but but he doesn't
Speaker 1: set it up. It's like I'm gonna do an impression.
Speaker 1: He's just telling a story about how Odin Kirk helped
Speaker 1: him poster his career, and he would just go into
Speaker 1: the voice and I just couldn't take it. Man, it's
Speaker 1: very distinct Odin Kirky sort of way of speaking. Uh
Speaker 1: so you do have to go, Noel, So why don't
Speaker 1: we just wrap? I told him I was running a
Speaker 1: little late. It's that's fine. I appreciate it. The next
Speaker 1: episode will just be me and the ram Jams. Big
Speaker 1: debut is number two, Ramma Lama Ding Dong. If you do. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you do, really well, maybe we can just forget
Speaker 1: an old existed. You can't do that. You can't revise history.
Speaker 1: You have a show called revisionist history. That's not what
Speaker 1: it's called. It's called ridiculous history. Revisionist history is much
Speaker 1: more popular. Smell, I'm glad. Well, I'm getting all my
Speaker 1: my podcast. He was confused. Someone posted on the page
Speaker 1: you ever seen that g I F of that girl
Speaker 1: tripping at the with the popcorn at the movie there

Speaker 1: best face plans of all time. Have you ever seen
Speaker 1: a ram Just look at this and that a Ramsey
Speaker 1: is someone where she's like losing her mind. Oh no,
Speaker 1: this is a different one. That's a good one. And
Speaker 1: and I'm not I'm not one to generally take delight
Speaker 1: in someone's misfortune. But it's a soft carpet she doesn't
Speaker 1: like she got. But Chuck, did you just call it
Speaker 1: a g I F? I don't know how to say it,
Speaker 1: And so I just say, g I F. I can
Speaker 1: respect that. The gift Jeff thing I never remember. So
Speaker 1: I just said, Jeff, I don't like these things. I
Speaker 1: don't post them. You're anti, you're anti Jeff. I have
Speaker 1: never posted a Jeff or a mem a in my life.
Speaker 1: I have not. It's the cheapest form, and here I
Speaker 1: am laughing at it. Not only that a terrible one
Speaker 1: of a young lady falling down. She's probably fine, she is.
Speaker 1: It's just that popcorn goes everywhere, so bad for oh Man,
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff. I got sidetracked by that. I
Speaker 1: was like a little like a monkey in a cage
