Now, 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.679 these are not necessarily recommendations. This is just like our extracurriculars. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.800 These are our studies as film enthusiasts. You know, we're 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.760 trying to like mine through all of film, of all 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.200 of time. You know, both of us were both students 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.440 of film. So these aren't necessarily recommendations. Some of these 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.000 might suck, frankly. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.880 A lot of them will probably a lot of them. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.000 Well, yes, you got to break a lot of eggs, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:02.520 kiss a lot of frogs. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.600 Also, we're going to talk about drinking in the movies, so, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.360 you know, movies that feature complete drunks or people that 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:13.840 are trying to get off the stuff. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.920 Whatever it is, we're going to be talking about it. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.600 But we're also going to really like hammer into one 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.400 movie in particular, and that is twenty eighteen's US Star 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:27.240 is Born featuring Lady Gaga Bradley Cooper, and we might 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.560 even talk a little bit about Bradley Cooper as a 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:30.600 director as well. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.560 And today we have the wonderful comedian in Chile with Sharp. 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.919 She's on to talk about her area of expertise, which 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.520 was important to both of us when you say, Millie. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.880 Oh yes, we had a very emotional conversation with Chilea. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.720 How about a topic that is you know, near and 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.320 dear to all of our hearts, which is the Magic 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.160 Mike franchise. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.919 Oh so fabulous.

This is 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.960 a podcast for those who are in a romantic relationship 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:30.760 with film. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.200 That's right, those who are down bad for film, those 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.600 who have a crush on film, those are using movies 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:42.840 as a way to fill your sexual and amorous holes 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.640 into your life. I don't know if that's the right 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:49.840 way of expressing that. But it's for those who sincerely, 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.200 sincerely love film and care about it very deeply. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.600 That's right. I am one of your hosts, Milia to Cherco. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.400 I used to to a film podcast. Yep, it was 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.760 called I Saw What You Did. It was on this 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.880 very network. It's probably on the feed that you're listening 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:10.760 to right now. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.160 This is the same feed. It's the same channel. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.400 Yeah, you can go back and listen to all two 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.599 hundred something episodes of it if you want to. But 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.880 I did that podcast with my co host Daniel Henderson, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.760 who is one of my dearest friends. And Casey, you 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.200 were a part of that podcast too. You were actually 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.880 the producer of that podcast, right. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:33.479 That's right. I produced that wonderful podcast. And this is 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.560 sort of, you know, a phoenix rising out of the 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.400 ashes of I Saw What you did. And I'm just 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.520 so thrilled and thankful that you wanted to have me 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.320 be a part of this show Milely in this capacity. 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.600 That's right. I mean, you know, it's not unlike a 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.200 star is born, if you think about it. 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.640 I did find you in. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.560 A total dump yeap plucked you out of obscurity and 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.880 put you on. That's right. But anyway, the thing about 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.800 doing a podcast with you is that this is like 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.040 a new thing. I'm very excited by it. I know 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.720 a little bit about you. I won't say I know 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.880 everything about you, but I do know that you've got 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.520 a lot of film bonafides, which makes you qualify a 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.560 toast podcasts with me, wouldn't you say? 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.200 Sure? I guess so. First of all, I produced an 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.960 excellent movie podcast before this one called I Saw What 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:21.159 You Did. 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.240 As we've already covered, I've produced. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.440 Several movie podcasts, but also, like you, Millie, I went 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:31.880 to film school lot and so hopefully, you know, we 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.640 can throughout the course of this podcast, we can get 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.440 some of those, like you know, film school tales, and 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.920 we can bring up our time in film school because 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.760 that's sort of a funny time in everyone's life. So anyways, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.719 went to film school. I also would consider myself a filmmaker, 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.159 would because I do make short films and I'm working 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:57.719 on a feature film right now, and I really love movies. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.720 They're a big part of my life and my creative identity. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.960 I also used to host a film podcast that's right 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.760 called fart House, where we talked about artsy fartsy films, 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.640 and I did that with my friend Patrick mallin. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.240 What's up Patrick, Listen, Like you might be wondering. I mean, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.839 I think obviously if you're a fan of asolog did 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.720 you have heard many episodes where Danielle and I had 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.600 talked about you know, film bros. You know, you know 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.880 the type film bros. Sure, we're trying to like, you know, 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.000 bring some other people to the table. And so for me, 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.200 the idea that I would be hosting a new film 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.120 podcast with a guy who went to film school, you know, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.720 might be kind of unexpected. But guess what, you're a 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.880 good one. You're not a film bro. You're not a 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.000 film bro. I will stand by that one thousand percent. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.960 Well, thank you, I appreciate that, Millie. I think that 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.480 it's not unlike Wharf in Star Trek. You know, he's 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.479 a Klingon and a lot of people have a you 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.560 know thought him as you know, the Klingon race is 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.240 very violent. But you know, people just need to understand 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.560 that Wharf is a gentle soul and you know, over 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:10.720 time they accept him. 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.240 So I'll just be plain honest with you. Have no 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:15.000 idea what you. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.080 Just said I've never seen Star Trek in my entire life. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.040 That's fine, I won't bring it up again on the show. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.400 But anyways, I appreciate that. And I think, you know 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.440 more than just film brodum. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:27.880 You know. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.040 I think there's a kind of there can be kind 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.880 of a lot of rules in terms of and they're 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.120 all imagined, of course, but like there's a lot of 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.240 pressure to think about movies in a very specific way. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.200 A lot of that is, you know, it tends to 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.280 be from like a more male point of view, and 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.040 it's kind of like these are the good movies, these 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.720 are the bad movies. If you like these movies, you're cool. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.440 If you like these movies, you drool, you know. And 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.280 I think this podcast wants to kind of dash away 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:09.280 any sort of pretension or you know, rules about what 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.320 you need to do in order to consider yourself a 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.400 lover of movies. You know, if you sincerely love a movie, 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.440 even if it's considered you know, a bad movie by 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.760 some that should be celebrated. And that's what this podcast 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:31.360 is about. It's about like enjoying film at all levels. Yes, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:32.240 you know what I'm saying. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.760 I agree, And I also think it's important to say that, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.480 you know. I mean, I think obviously the title of 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.560 this podcast here Movies, I Love You, the icon that 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.600 pops up when you pull it up on your podcast platform. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.440 You know, the idea that one of our favorite bands 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.920 of all time, the Softies, has done the wonderful theme song. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.880 It all contributes to this idea of like again having 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.079 a crush on a film, having an emotional relationship to movies, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.960 and how movies are a big part of people's lives 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.439 and they help them through like hard times and good times. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.440 I mean, I cry all the time in movies and 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.360 they don't have to be sad. I cry at happy movies. 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.200 I cry it sweet movies, I cry it you know, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.320 violent films. Like I am such an emotional person that 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.480 I you know, I've realized this over several years of therapy. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.240 I'm a very emotional person. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:27.160 And I think kind of what you're alluding to, like 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:29.240 with the things that you've just said, is that, like 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.959 a lot of times, you know, film is one of 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.640 those mediums where people feel like they got to be 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.000 like super analytical or they have you know, they got 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.640 to come at it in a very kind of sterile 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.600 way in order to seem legitimate or something, and I'm like, 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.480 fuck that we should be talking about our crush on 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.320 movies and talking about how much we love it and 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.600 how much they get us through our lives and how 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.719 they're a part of our lives. So that's what it's 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.560 gonna be, guys. It's not gonna be this whole like, well, 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.160 the box office numbers from nineteen eighty nine show that 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.080 this movie did five percent better. I mean, if that 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.840 comes up, it comes up. But for the most part, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.439 you know, we're gonna be a little sensitivo. 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.720 Well, we're gonna be sensitivo. I'm a very emotional person. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:10.319 You know. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.240 I've said before that I consider myself a soft straight. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.400 I'm a softy, and I love rom coms are like 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.800 kind of my favorite genre of film. But I also 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:28.840 I'll throw on Salo. Wait, who's the director of Salo Pasolini? Pasolini, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.480 which is a movie that is one of the most 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.880 I don't know, sexually violent and perverse and there's a 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.319 lot of like eating poop in it, and uh. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.480 Great date night movie, great date night movie. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.360 But it's a very extreme art house movie from the seventies, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.440 is that one it's from? But anyways, you know, I 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.320 can throw on that movie as much as I can 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.160 throw on you know, Sleepless in Seattle, a movie I 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.200 truly love. So I think this is more about the 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:05.600 emotional connection to film rather than any sort of intellectual 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.439 debate or study of film. If that all makes sense. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.400 It all totally makes sense. 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:16.720 I mean we are intellectuals, We're emotional intellectuals, exactly, That's right. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.199 I think that's I think that is what brings us 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.439 together and why we thought this show would be good 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.480 is because I think we both seem so tough and 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.920 hard on the outside, but on the inside. 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.800 We're just we're marshmallows, you know, We're a big softies. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.720 We're not unlike John Wick, if you know what I mean. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.480 We're exactly like in so many ways, We're exactly like 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.400 John That's right. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.680 But you know what also I like about you, Casey, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.600 and part of the reason why I poach you from 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.760 the film podcast streets to be on a podcast with me. 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:51.720 I like that you understand that high art and lower 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.200 art they both are able to sit at the same table. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.120 You know what I'm saying. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:12:00.160 Absolutely, yeah, I think that way about food too. A 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.240 great I used to work at a very fancy restaurant 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.679 in La Jelina and love the food there. But I'm 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.240 a frequent McDonald's. I'm in there getting a mc rib 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.480 you know, on the regular when it's there. So yes, 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.920 I agree, high and low they're the same. They sit 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:15.720 at the same table. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.440 For me, if I were to like talk about my 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.199 own career and the things that I've done, like programming 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.319 and writing and things like, you know, sort of being 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.200 sort of general film historian type, I think that's kind 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.680 of how I approach That's how I approach film, is 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.840 that I'm like, I want to speak in a smart, 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.560 intellectual kind of I don't know, competent way about all 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.680 kinds of shit. It can be high brow, but it 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.080 also there is a way to talk about show Girls 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:49.280 and ed Wood and you know, like truly depraved cinema 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.040 at the same time that you talk about I don't know, 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.680 more sort of intellectual affair, the kind of criterion collection, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.800 any type of things. If you will, yes to me, 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.000 that's kind of what I like about us, both as 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.160 that we're able to kind of get you a man 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.200 that can do both type of feeling. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.600 Yeah, So, and all are welcome at this table all 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.160 levels of filmdom.

I don't know, that's just an example 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.360 a movie I like who But anyways, that's sort of 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.520 the crux of our new podcast, our new endeavor together, 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.199 and we're psyched. Were psyched about it. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.000 We just wanted to do a little intention setting before 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.520 we rolled out all the other episodes. But hopefully you're 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.000 on the ride with us. I mean, if you liked 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.840 I saw what you did, you're gonna like this podcast. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.640 So we're excited. Here we go, We're excited to be here. 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:51.320 Well, moving on, our first segment is called film Diary Millie. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.600 One way of keeping track of the movies we've watched 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.240 is on a social media app that we both use, 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.360 and I'd love if listeners followed us on there because 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.640 the comments I'm making on these movies are hilarious. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.360 Cannot be ignored. 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.880 Yeah, they can follow us on there. You like Letterbox 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.000 as an app, you use it, you're a user. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.760 I'm a user, of course. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.080 I talked about this on my substack once about how 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.360 I probably use letterbox in the wrong way, which is 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.920 that I'm not like consistently using. 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.680 So here's letterbox, right. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.040 If you haven't been on it before, it's basically a 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.600 way for you to kind of catalog the movies that 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.640 you've seen. You know, there's an ability to rate it 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.040 like five star, you know, one to five stars or 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.120 no stars. You can leave reviews. There's a kind of 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.920 social component to where you can friend other people and 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.239 see what they've been watching and see what they've been reviewing. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.680 So it's kind of just like a big social media 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.400 platform for movie nerds. And there are definitely power users 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.520 out there who are writing like thousand word essays on 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.880 every movie they've seen. Yes, I am real lucy goosy 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.280 about it. I definitely catalog everything that I've seen, so 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.880 my film diary is always accurate. Am I reviewing things 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.560 all the time? 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:12.000 No? 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.200 Am I writing intelligent things in those reviews? No? 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.200 Am I rating it with the star system? 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.800 Not all the time. That's another topic for another time. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.560 By the way, is the star rating system on Letterbox? 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.160 Maybe that's a film grape we can talk about. Sure, Yes, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.480 because it's very contentious and I've gotten called out on 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.080 it before, but please find us on there because it's 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.000 a way for us. We're going to be like talking 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.840 about Letterboxed a lot because this is like again where 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:43.600 we're cataloging what we've seen. But first and foremost, I 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.680 have to say, Casey, I don't know if you remember 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:46.560 this at all. 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.960 But it took you eight I'm going to be upset 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.320 that you're bringing I'm upset that you're bringing this set 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.240 the people continue no that. 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.480 It took you a very long time to friend me 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.200 back on letterbox. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.440 So MILLI followed me on. And it's not exactly like 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.360 you're not really friends on a letterbox. You basically follow 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.680 someone and then they can follow you back. It's not 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.160 like accepting a friend request on Facebook and you're mind 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.360 it's not it was for me, okay, Well, Milly had 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.800 followed me on letterboxed and I went about my life 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.560 after that after and I don't know if I missed 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.840 the notification or something, but it took me maybe a 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:35.920 year before I followed you back, and I mentioned it 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.240 kind of like, oh, MILLI, isn't it funny? I just 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.720 I didn't realize you were on Letterbox. I can't beieve 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.400 it took me so long to follow you back, and 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.880 you were like, yeah, I noticed. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.800 It was an offensive amount of time that went by. Like, 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.000 let me just tell you right now, I had not 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.880 only read at you, but it actually commented on one 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.040 of your reviews. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:04.280 I know, I think I had just I assumed I 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.159 had followed you back. I think that's what happened. I 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.840 think I had assumed. There's no way I didn't follow 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:13.560 you back, but I fucked up. I don't know what 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:14.520 you want me to say here. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:18.359 I was like, okay, we work on a film podcast together. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.400 We're like in communication pretty much every other day. I 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.919 know I friended this guy because I want him to 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.080 feel included in what we're fucking doing around here, and 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.560 it took him a year to follow me back. Anyway, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.560 I'm just I'm just saying, sure, that broke me for 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.400 a while, but then you fix itself and I forgive you, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.520 and now we're obviously doing a podcast together. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.000 Now we're doing a podcast together. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.840 I've let it go well. And like there's other functionality 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.679 on there too that like you can come up with lists. 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.919 I'm a big list person. Yes, I also you know, like, 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.359 I actually love the review component because there are people, 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.760 like I said, who are using it like as like 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.119 they're writing for Rogerdieber dot com type of thing. But 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.240 then there are people who are like putting one two 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.480 sentences about, you know, the thing that they've watched. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.639 That's how I do it. I do one or two sentences, 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.480 and I like that. I prefer that as a user 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.439 to read. I don't really want to read an essay 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:13.600 on here, to be honest. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.840 Oh I know. And a lot of times it's like 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.040 and this is the way I do it, but other 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.440 people do it this way too. It's like the funniest 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.040 observation about a movie. Yes, and I actually had one 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.280 go sort of VIVI. I gotta say, wow my review 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.600 for a Complete Unknown, where I talked about I don't 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:33.440 know if you've seen it yet. 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:34.239 I won't spoil it. 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.320 Haven't seen it. 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.200 Well, there's a moment of that movie that happens, which 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:39.200 is a non spoiler. 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.320 But it was like the weirdest thing to me. 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.440 That was like the one thing I couldn't stop thinking about, 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:45.399 and then I wrote it and then all of a sudden, 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.760 it's like ping, ping, ping, Everyone's like we love it. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:48.720 We love the review. 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.600 So that's what I like about Letterbox is that it's 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.720 kind of like again, I think it's a high low 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.280 scenario where you could either be really like deliberate and 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.879 professional about it, or you can be a fucking goon 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:00.760 like me. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.159 Yeah. Well, here's kind of one of my favorite reviews. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.360 This is ao Ata Biri. If you ever follow, she's 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.960 a great follow on Letterbox. This is her review of 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.119 The Empire Strikes Back. This movie is great, but I 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.040 was really shocked by how ugly Yoda was. Sorry if 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.440 that pisses anybody off, but I had only seen baby 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.600 Yoda and adult Yoda is fucking busted. 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.159 I mean that's the whole review. 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.120 So it's great. 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:23.440 Yeah. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.840 Anyways, this isn't an ad for Letterbox, but we love 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.600 it and I use it all the time, and it's 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.119 where I keep track of all the movies I've watched 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:31.639 in the past. 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.800 That's right. I mean, if the Letterbox wants to give 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.840 us a check, we'll take it. But I'm just saying 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.120 this is what we're gonna be using. Let's go into 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:38.879 this film diary. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:39.760 Fabulous. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.720 So in the past week I've gone down this like 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:48.760 kind of strange rabbit hole. So I discovered this Japanese 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:53.680 director recently, and I don't actually know how I discovered him. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.680 I feel like I'm following some kind of Instagram account 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.520 that's like an Asian. 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.160 Film archive, think it's actually what it's called. 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:06.560 And they posted a trailer or something about this movie. 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.719 And the movie is called Hawu haar U. Okay, it 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:15.000 was directed by this Japanese director. His name is Yoshi 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:16.080 Mitsu Marita. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:16.760
