Speaker 1: just sent the invite so we can kill time for
Speaker 1: a second till until they get the invite and pop
Speaker 1: into the room and are hopefully already recording. Otherwise we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to take this all again and fake it
Speaker 1: like well, or we could just you know, drop Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. Fake fake the my surprise. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like that's my worst nightmare is if someone pops in

Speaker 1: I'm not recording, but here they are, nol, You're ready.
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I mean meet them into the room. Boy.

Speaker 1: the same for you as it is for me. I'm
Speaker 1: the one experiencing the suspense right now. Uh okay, So
Speaker 1: why is this person not in? Hey? I thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna be so any famous whoa, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite human beings in the entire world,
Speaker 1: Alex Williams, who composed this theme that's on a different show,
Speaker 1: but he did, and they say his name at the
Speaker 1: end of every episode of Ridiculous History because he composed
Speaker 1: that theme. Okay, so let me clear this up. No,
Speaker 1: because you're already fucking confusing everybody. U Alex. People know
Speaker 1: from the past Edwood episode Alex is one of our colleagues, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you don't look like goddamn John
Speaker 1: Lennon right now, I don't know who you look like
Speaker 1: because words people to look like. I guess I literally
Speaker 1: get that every day now. I've let my that's because
Speaker 1: you look just like him. You've got the long hair
Speaker 1: in the stash, the round glasses and the circle glasses.
Speaker 1: I would, dude, if I could look like that, I
Speaker 1: would do no. I would always have that look. You
Speaker 1: guys want to start a Beatles cover band? Yes, Alex?
Speaker 1: No more bands, bro, No, I look like no Beatle.
Speaker 1: I'm giving Alex ship because he and I play in
Speaker 1: a little music band. That's what they call them when
Speaker 1: you're cool. UM with our other buddy and colleague and
Speaker 1: dear friend of the show and the network, Matt Frederick,
Speaker 1: and UM do a couple other music side things. But
Speaker 1: Alex has been in like just music mode. He's just
Speaker 1: like starting bands left and right. So he's got off
Speaker 1: no more bands. No, I'm kidding. I just can not
Speaker 1: get mad every time I join another band. So I
Speaker 1: want to gla a for for now? Uh do me
Speaker 1: and fayvorre Alex just say this will will popular than
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Wow. No, No, he got flagged for that
Speaker 1: when he said, I'm not getting anywhere near that one man.
Speaker 1: So listener you might remember also and we plugged this
Speaker 1: on the show quite a few times, and Alex talked
Speaker 1: about it on his Edward episode that you were the
Speaker 1: creator and and doer of the great great podcast Ephemeral
Speaker 1: who was just which has just launched season two, and uh,
Speaker 1: we're having you on to talk about that a little bit,
Speaker 1: and especially a very special episode that might really appeal
Speaker 1: to the movie crushers. Right, Yeah, I mean somebody called
Speaker 1: me out on Facebook and said maybe there would be uh,
Speaker 1: some synergy between these two episodes. But we just put
Speaker 1: out an episode about Alice Ki Alice Ki Blashcheser married name,
Speaker 1: who is um one of the first filmmakers ever and
Speaker 1: the first female filmmaker and the only female filmmaker for
Speaker 1: like the first seventeen years of cinema. UM. And it's
Speaker 1: sort of it's about it's a it's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a it's a new history of early cinema. It's a
Speaker 1: biography of her whole life. It's got a secret love
Speaker 1: story in it that's incredible. UM, I don't want to
Speaker 1: spoil anything. Um, I don't, don't. I listened to the
Speaker 1: first like fifteen minutes today when you send it to
Speaker 1: me because had to get down here and do this.
Speaker 1: But I can't wait to finish it later today. It
Speaker 1: was already in these ephemerals. Such a good show. It's
Speaker 1: everything I like about podcast. It's sort of a I mean,
Speaker 1: dare I say, sort of maybe a little more NPR
Speaker 1: style show than we usually do it the network, full
Speaker 1: of twist and turns and great stories. It's Part nine
Speaker 1: invisible in a way. Uh, but it's it's it's human related,
Speaker 1: human stories. It's really really great. Thanks Nextllen. It's also
Speaker 1: beautifully sound design, and like I said, Alex as a
Speaker 1: super talented musician. And you've got a cool little team
Speaker 1: of folks working with you now, including your your brother
Speaker 1: who is the new producer for Ridiculous History, of which
Speaker 1: you composed the theme. Thanks man, my flesh and bread
Speaker 1: blood brother, Max Williams. And then uh Trevor Young who's
Speaker 1: done things like Monster DC, Sniper and all kinds of stuff. Trevor,
Speaker 1: Trevor was on the show. Yeah he's done now, MAXI
Speaker 1: bely on Mike eventually, and yeah, yeah, they're helping me
Speaker 1: produce it, which is really nice because I did it
Speaker 1: all by myself for for a little while, with some
Speaker 1: help from my friends Beetle's reference right, with help from
Speaker 1: George and fall in the ringo. But I meant to
Speaker 1: mention this to you, completely unrelated to you being here
Speaker 1: in the second, but I was looking through Apple Podcasts
Speaker 1: and you're looking at the different little collections they have,
Speaker 1: and they have a trending section, and Ephemeral was in
Speaker 1: the trending section. All right, you're trending, bro, It's like
Speaker 1: a trend. Thank you. I can't believe how much you
Speaker 1: look like John Lynton. This is really striking. We're an
Speaker 1: amazing thing to be able to do. You're gonna go
Speaker 1: over the organ and play imagine or something. Yes, I
Speaker 1: said that we're to call on a company call, and
Speaker 1: I definitely got called out for it. I should be
Speaker 1: offering things like this if I'm not, if I'm not rehearsed,
Speaker 1: well you should just drop that into right now and
Speaker 1: then just very subtly you could be like, well, guys, imagine, uh,
Speaker 1: there's no heaven and just see what people say. No
Speaker 1: positions and no religion too. You know, the only person
Speaker 1: I can look like is Kevin Smith, and that's it.
Speaker 1: It's not fun. And and the only person I look
Speaker 1: is Bryant looking like Kevin Smith. It's not fun either.
Speaker 1: You won't find me in a hockey jersey anytime soon,
Speaker 1: that's fair. He looks weird now that he lost all
Speaker 1: that weight, and I mean, I'm happy for him, but
Speaker 1: it's just it's hard for me. He looks like he's
Speaker 1: still wearing the same size clothes. He's just kind of
Speaker 1: withered underneath them a little bit. Well, i'll tell you
Speaker 1: what he's he's very inspiring with his taking hisself under control.
Speaker 1: And so I'm completely agreed. Yeah, we just covered mall
Speaker 1: rats on this very shows great. Oh yeah, but that
Speaker 1: was fun. I gotta listen to that one. Miles is
Speaker 1: great man, He's so much fun. And I didn't realize
Speaker 1: there was so much crossover. There were a lot of
Speaker 1: movie crushers who are daily Zeite guys fans, and so
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. I'm gonna have Jack on soon.
Speaker 1: I've been reserved pulp fiction for Jack, so he's gonna
Speaker 1: come on. That's a good one to reserve for somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta say really quickly because Chuck and I talked
Speaker 1: about this. Um, I'm really excited because I don't really
Speaker 1: guessed on a ton of podcasts, but there's one that
Speaker 1: I listened to called Pod Yourself a time. That's a
Speaker 1: Sopranos podcast. Oh that's right, let everyone know. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and uh, well, Jack and um On a host and
Speaker 1: I have been guests on it. And I found the
Speaker 1: show clally organically because I was just mid Sopranos re
Speaker 1: rewatched that I do every year, so and I was like,
Speaker 1: I need some supplementary Sopranos content. So I googled, you know,
Speaker 1: or or looked an Apple podcast and that came up.
Speaker 1: And it's great. It's the dudes Matt Leeb and Vince
Speaker 1: Mancini and there um these comedians from l A. And
Speaker 1: clearly in the same circles as on On Jack and
Speaker 1: Miles because they've both been guests on it a couple
Speaker 1: of times. And so I literally just reached out to
Speaker 1: on on today, Uh, could you maybe like connect me
Speaker 1: with these guys. I want to, you know, put my
Speaker 1: hat in the ring to be a guest. And she did,
Speaker 1: and they immediately we're all about it. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be episode one of season five, which is Divorced Dad
Speaker 1: Tony season when um uh and also the season that
Speaker 1: where his his cousin Tony Blendetto played by Steve Bushemi
Speaker 1: comes into the picture. So I get to be episode
Speaker 1: one of one of my favorite seasons. I'm really excited.
Speaker 1: I'm recording in a in a week, but I don't
Speaker 1: know when it's gonna come out, but I'll let you
Speaker 1: know when I find out. That's amazing. You gotta do that.
Speaker 1: You gotta reach out in life. Sometimes you gotta do it,
Speaker 1: you know, just imagine. Uh, it's easy if you try.
Speaker 1: I know I do that and it usually is. All right. So, Alex,
Speaker 1: you do not know anything about this game that we
Speaker 1: play here. You sent me a name about this morning.
Speaker 1: It was like, hey, you want to come on a
Speaker 1: movie a crush to play a quiz or something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you said When I said, how about like an hour?
Speaker 1: He said sure? Because what am I doing? Excite from
Speaker 1: just composing beautiful beatles dunes all day? All right, Alex,
Speaker 1: Here's how it goes. It's called pop Quiz hot Shot.
Speaker 1: There are ten questions and three answers per for a
Speaker 1: total of thirty points. Partial credit is allowed. So if
Speaker 1: you get it's basically like name three movies that feature blank,
Speaker 1: you know, Jack Nicholson, and then in ten seconds you
Speaker 1: have to name three Jack Nicholson films. If you get timed,
Speaker 1: it's timed. That's the whole rub here. My friend she
Speaker 1: had all day to sit around and think about it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be any fun. So, uh, it will trip up
Speaker 1: even the best player, like the cases of the world
Speaker 1: get very confused. Yeah, but you get parcel credits. So
Speaker 1: if you get like one or two, you still get
Speaker 1: those points where it's total of thirty. I would say
Speaker 1: the biggest tip that I could give you is don't overreach.
Speaker 1: Don't try to go for the most obscure pick. Just
Speaker 1: go for like the most obvious, like whatever comes to
Speaker 1: your mind. Just don't like be struggle literally say anything
Speaker 1: I can think of. Okay, I think that has a ticket.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the ticket. Uh, and nol is our scorekeeper
Speaker 1: and all can you I mean, good lord, we always
Speaker 1: go through it with your I mean, let me make
Speaker 1: a spreadsheet real quick. Here we go, so I get okay,
Speaker 1: so at one point answer one point per answer, thirty
Speaker 1: points total for the gay points to. So there's thirty questions.
Speaker 1: I will keep it too good for just like hash marks,
Speaker 1: like a big guir old, you know, make four a
Speaker 1: cross five. We're doing a bit where I'm bad at
Speaker 1: keeping school. Also, the other bit we do is we
Speaker 1: have to pick out the the making time or sound.
Speaker 1: So what should we go with? NOL? How about I
Speaker 1: like the Clackson you know that what is that call?
Speaker 1: It's not a lot. I don't know. I don't have
Speaker 1: the enterprise is going down? All right, you're just making
Speaker 1: stuff up now, John Lennon to be quiet, and that
Speaker 1: one's too cheerful. That was pretty good already, Blade Runner, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we'll do that. It's called cosmic everybody cosmo. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, Alex at one. There your mind. In
Speaker 1: ten seconds, name three movies with the word death in
Speaker 1: the title starting now, Death Inc. That's not one Death
Speaker 1: Becomes Her? Is that one murdered by death? Uh? Dead man?
Speaker 1: That doesn't say death. A band called Death is a documentary.
Speaker 1: All right. I'm gonna give that to you because you
Speaker 1: started saying it as the timer sounded. So no, Death Inc.
Speaker 1: Is a movie. Okay, you got four then, but we
Speaker 1: can only give you three. Okay, I'll take it. Do
Speaker 1: you know you know how the game works? Good job.
Speaker 1: By the way, Death Death is one of my hot
Speaker 1: topics and a band called Death is supposed to be
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet, but it's awesome. You guys
Speaker 1: need to see it. Yeah, it's on my on my list.
Speaker 1: It's very good. All right. Question to pous hot shot

Speaker 1: Thank you. Name three movies starring or even featuring Matt
Speaker 1: Damon starting now, Goodwill, Hunting God. He's in like a
Speaker 1: million movies. There's one called Jerry that's got him in it.
Speaker 1: That's a sand film. He's so many movies and blanking Okay,
Speaker 1: two out of three. That was ten seconds. Ten seconds
Speaker 1: a really short amount of time. It is. It's also
Speaker 1: goes by faster when you say things like yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a movie by Gus Van's and it was fairly well
Speaker 1: reviewed in the theater, just like Jerry. Would be confusing
Speaker 1: if I just said, you know, save that, save the
Speaker 1: commentary for as this is not called pop quiz hot
Speaker 1: shot and context no context needed to out of three,
Speaker 1: though maybe one more Mad Damon movie for me, though,
Speaker 1: I feel like a fool that I didn't know because
Speaker 1: he's like Mr Ripley, Yeah, Mr Ripley. The born identity
Speaker 1: is that him. Any of the born could have been
Speaker 1: born supremacy. Garish said that, all right, that's all right.
Speaker 1: Two out of three is good, man. If you hang
Speaker 1: in there, you're you're doing well. Or as meat Loaf
Speaker 1: would say, it ain't bad. Get out three, all right.
Speaker 1: Don't come at John Lennon with meat Loaf is cool? Cool,
Speaker 1: I'm done with me, Love me love. I mean, he
Speaker 1: did some good work in his day, right, true, it's true?
Speaker 1: And what was the thing he wouldn't do for love?
Speaker 1: You do anything, but not the one thing. But he
Speaker 1: never says what the one thing is. I think it's
Speaker 1: probably anal that's what That's what everyone That's what everyone says.
Speaker 1: Things are going downhill fast, guys. I just think what
Speaker 1: I have a problem with that personally, But I don't
Speaker 1: think so either. But you know, actually I think I've
Speaker 1: told the story. And Noll knows this a little bit.
Speaker 1: When I lived in l A, alex I was friends
Speaker 1: with a guy who was dating Meet Loath's wife's assistant,
Speaker 1: and so I hung it meets house A couple of
Speaker 1: times when he was that, I wanted to say, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you said that. People call him. You know. It
Speaker 1: was very traditional, sort of colonial. Uh nothing fancy, but
Speaker 1: I I mean, it was a nice house and everything,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like some palatial estate. And the end
Speaker 1: of that story, which I always tell, is it but
Speaker 1: he backed up his backyard to Steven Seagal's backyard, and
Speaker 1: if you stood up on the thing, you could see
Speaker 1: into it. And Steven Seagal had all these little Asian
Speaker 1: uh what are they called? Not ada but pagoda, sure,
Speaker 1: said will pagodas all over the property. Stevens. Also, he's
Speaker 1: also famous for like wearing kimonos with nothing on underneath,

Speaker 1: night's handards. But that counts, right, dude. Not only does
Speaker 1: that count, I think you did her justice and that
Speaker 1: was clearly loaded for you to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about your show. That's what I'm here for right now.
Speaker 1: That was fantastic. Name one other movie directed by a
Speaker 1: woman that's not her. One other movie directed by a

Speaker 1: think some kind of hybrid documentary sort of things before,
Speaker 1: and they had collabed. I think maybe he had produced

Speaker 1: Alex knows a lot about these stories and that's what
Speaker 1: Ephemeral is about, these stories lost to time, little known
Speaker 1: stories from from real human beings. And it's it's good stuff.
Speaker 1: I love it. Oh my goodness. There's one of the
Speaker 1: if you look at his IMDb, a lot of these
Speaker 1: educational films are listed h and one of them is
Speaker 1: called to Touch a Child. You've got to be careful
Speaker 1: with i dB on folks like that because with silent
Speaker 1: films and educational films and all these kind of fringe
Speaker 1: film you know, filmmaking genres. Um, there's not a whole
Speaker 1: lot of accreditation, especially for earlier stuff. Um No, this
Speaker 1: one says uncredited like a lot of these days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I am dB is really unreliable for for those folks.

Speaker 1: think that was one out of three? Is that right?
Speaker 1: Or do we don't know? I can't double up on Carnival.
Speaker 1: That was a really cheap shot. Okay, all right, I

Speaker 1: I think, all right in ten seconds for the final question,
Speaker 1: upwits hot shot Alex Williams a Ethemeral. You can find
Speaker 1: it wherever you get your podcast, Real Human Stories about
Speaker 1: Things Lost the time. Name three movies filmed in black
Speaker 1: and white after the color era had begun, starting now,
Speaker 1: Wood Tango, um Mala Noche. Okay, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that is? Three that film? Yeah, and then sat Tangles
Speaker 1: a Bailatar film, and Edwards apcially Tim Burton film. Look
Speaker 1: at that that I got you. I could list I
Speaker 1: could list a racer yeah, a racer head or like
Speaker 1: sut finn Man. Hey, this is very impressive. But I
Speaker 1: can give you extra points. I can do black and
Speaker 1: white films. What did you say after what date? The
Speaker 1: color era? After the color so like Wizard of Oz
Speaker 1: is kind of like the perfect split of both of those,
Speaker 1: because it was like on The Stalker Tarkovski Stalker. That's
Speaker 1: when we changes color and CP and black and white. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: this isn't black and white talk with Nolan Allie got
Speaker 1: can we do that? Though? I could do that one
Speaker 1: all day. That's now you finally found my Matt Damon
Speaker 1: movies like but black and white cinema of the modern era.
Speaker 1: All right, well that's fantastic. I think you ended up
Speaker 1: with eighteen out of thirty. There have been better and
Speaker 1: there have been worse. Okay, I didn't know there's gonna
Speaker 1: be so much judgment involved in this game, but we
Speaker 1: gotta judge. The harsh hammer of the Movie Crunch audience
Speaker 1: has to come up on your sweet mustachioed face. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be getting constant emails chiding me for not knowing
Speaker 1: more male nudity films. Yeah, I'm sure that's the thing.
Speaker 1: All right, Alex, I'll tell you what. You have your
Speaker 1: option here. You can either exit if you need to
Speaker 1: get on with your day, or you can stick around
Speaker 1: for our final segment. It's up to you. I'm here, man.
Speaker 1: Let's what's the final segment? Like? All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: The final segment today is we're gonna we go over
Speaker 1: to the movie Crushers page and ask some questions, or
Speaker 1: to the movie Crush page rather. And today I posed
Speaker 1: a question Alex and all that I've never even done before.
Speaker 1: Very simply, if you were on Movie Crush what would
Speaker 1: be your pick? What's your all time favorite movie? And
Speaker 1: I asked the crushers that, so let's go ahead. And
Speaker 1: I think we got a lot of people sort of
Speaker 1: auditioning because at some point I'd like to have a
Speaker 1: listener on as a guest. We just gotta make sure
Speaker 1: they can record themselves and they don't freeze under pressure. Jeez,
Speaker 1: so easy in here, so icy. Uh let me see here,
Speaker 1: let me filter this by all comments. What does most
Speaker 1: relevant even mean? I don't know something. The algorithm algorithm
Speaker 1: Facebook keywords based, I don't have no idea it really
Speaker 1: is is a mystery to me. I think most relevant
Speaker 1: might mean like if I'm Facebook friends personally with someone
Speaker 1: that might kick them up on the list or something,
Speaker 1: or if I've replied to someone who knows who cares
Speaker 1: Facebook stupid. The only reason I do it is because
Speaker 1: of this show, which is great, nicest little corner of
Speaker 1: the Internet. So we're gonna go with Don Morris the
Speaker 1: movie Away we Go, Underrated Jim that I'd love to
Speaker 1: share with everyone. That was a good movie. Did you
Speaker 1: guys see that? I never saw? And uh, I think
Speaker 1: Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski if I'm not mistaken. What
Speaker 1: a married couple I think it was. Who's the filmmaker
Speaker 1: who did Revolutionary Road? Wasn't that Sam? Ye? Sam Mendez? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the way we go with Sam Mendez? Right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right Krasinski and my Rudolph. Yeah, Samande
Speaker 1: is very underrated movie written by Dave Eggers and Nevenda
Speaker 1: La Vita. Dave Eggers is great. I like his fiction.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. Austin Handler, one of our old pal, says,
Speaker 1: the movie about time has such heart and so well
Speaker 1: constructed on all levels. One of the few films I
Speaker 1: consider to be a perfect movie. Here, my little I
Speaker 1: don't even know what often do you watch movies? Check?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean we do a lot of TV
Speaker 1: these days, obviously because there's so much good stuff going on.
Speaker 1: But I try to squeeze in movies when I can.
Speaker 1: It's been there haven't been a ton of great new
Speaker 1: movies over the past year, obviously, but I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: movie guy. What about you? Can I tell you what
Speaker 1: I just saw in the theatric where I saw Logan's Run.
Speaker 1: Oh you're seeing that one? Sure? Where did they play
Speaker 1: that at the Plaza? Here? In Atlanta. Um, that's a
Speaker 1: movie with some newdity in it. Male nudity. Is there
Speaker 1: a male button it? There might be a boy button it.
Speaker 1: It's mostly but it's mostly female nudity. It's a it's
Speaker 1: a it's a weird one. It's a pretty weird film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: A good one though. It's the one with like the
Speaker 1: gardening kind of like spaceship, right, it's not a spaceship
Speaker 1: kind of planet the ape sort of thing where it's
Speaker 1: like it's the world, but we let it go to
Speaker 1: ship and there's like a sort of bubble where everyone lives,
Speaker 1: but you have to die when you're third in there.
Speaker 1: And then they're like what if we don't? And they
Speaker 1: and they leave, and that's your movie, what if we
Speaker 1: don't die? Basically all right, Kristen Glenn Kisser says, I
Speaker 1: usually say Excalibur, but you did mention Silverado the other
Speaker 1: day and that's one of my favorite movies, so now
Speaker 1: i'm torn. Uh. Yeah, both of those are great. Excalibur
Speaker 1: that was such a great movie for a kid my age,
Speaker 1: like a sort of the Stone. Different different movie, but same,
Speaker 1: you know, it's about that story, is it a John
Speaker 1: Boorman corrected it and it's very violent. It's got a
Speaker 1: lot of pretty raunchy stuff. And I remember seeing it
Speaker 1: when I was too young, because it's like you think
Speaker 1: about an Excalibur movie. You think of that as almost
Speaker 1: as like a kid's story, but then when you watch
Speaker 1: that treatment of it, and my parents just didn't know
Speaker 1: how the scale was. So I kind of let that
Speaker 1: one slide under the radar. But yeah, it's intense. It's
Speaker 1: got some head chopping and some slashing and yeah, and
Speaker 1: it came out in the eighties when we all saw
Speaker 1: it too young because parents were like, oh, sure, King Arthur,
Speaker 1: go see it, and they didn't know that was all
Speaker 1: that stuff in it. Yep, that's great. Uh, Margarito Saramago.
Speaker 1: When a earl pal says parasite, great movie it, Katie
Speaker 1: Walker says, my real favorite movie is the original Parent
Speaker 1: Trap with Hayley Mills or the new live action Cinderella
Speaker 1: with Lily James. But if I were a movie crush,
Speaker 1: I'd go with Baby Driver. Great movie. Did you see
Speaker 1: that one else? I saw one of the just listed.
Speaker 1: I didn't see Baby Driver. Oh man, you'd like that one.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Speaking of that, director Edgar Wright Uh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do what we do in the Shadows. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a new one coming out. Um. It is
Speaker 1: about the band Sparks, who I adore so so much.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, they're they're they're band. They're like a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't really know. They never really had
Speaker 1: a hit quote unquote. They had a couple under the
Speaker 1: radar hits, but they started off very much like Contemporaries
Speaker 1: with Queen, very glam, very kind of like Prague glam,
Speaker 1: and then they went totally synth wave and um, they've
Speaker 1: been making records all the time, the whole time, and
Speaker 1: if their brothers and they're just EXCELLENTZ excited about that film. Also,
Speaker 1: they just dropped the trailer for his narrative feature film, Uh,
Speaker 1: last Night in Soho, which looks really interesting, sort of
Speaker 1: a cookie genre bending horror film. Nice love it, Love
Speaker 1: him Baby ever was great. I watched Scott Pilgrim Versus
Speaker 1: The World last night. That is my daughter's absolute favorite movie. Um,
Speaker 1: and it is just pure fun. Have you seen that
Speaker 1: Chuck which one Scott Pilgrim Versus. We've covered that on
Speaker 1: this very show. Your daughter would love that. It's a
Speaker 1: it's about age appropriate. There's a little bit of smooching
Speaker 1: a little more. I mean it's just not even inappropriate,
Speaker 1: but just maybe a little over her head. Hold. Check.
Speaker 1: She'll be six in July, so she's she's getting on
Speaker 1: up there. Bennett Duckworth says, I picked Joe Versus the
Speaker 1: Volcano one of my favorite films. It is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite films too, So, Bennett, I don't know, Maybe
Speaker 1: I should have you on the show. I've never seen that.
Speaker 1: Who is the lead in that? Check? Is it? Okay? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with it, but I haven't. Is it a
Speaker 1: rom com It is a very quirky, weird sort of
Speaker 1: romantic comedy, but in a very strange way. It's all
Speaker 1: a very offbeat and uh from John Patrick Shanley, a
Speaker 1: wonderful playwright and filmmaker. But uh, it's it's good. I
Speaker 1: really like it. A lot, very strange movie with a
Speaker 1: big cult following. Now. Louis Silva's Is Rocky? I love? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I like a lot of them, but that first one
Speaker 1: man so good. Bro. I like the fourth one the most.
Speaker 1: Maybe We're rock We're Rocky defeats communism? Is that drag? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But I love they would stream their stream. They would
Speaker 1: run them on TV, like back to back to back,
Speaker 1: on like I don't know, the fourth of July or whatever,
Speaker 1: they do a marathon all day of Rocky and my
Speaker 1: brother and I would watch all of them just and
Speaker 1: just start back over when it looked that was a
Speaker 1: big Rocky three guy. That movie came out, Yeah, just
Speaker 1: the right time. Clever Lang and whole Cogan was in
Speaker 1: It is thunder Lips stuff, thunder Lips in the Flesh. Baby,
Speaker 1: that was this big, that was this big line. Let
Speaker 1: me see here. Let's go with Amanda Coolas as Hot Fuzz.
Speaker 1: Let's just take through a bunch of these because I
Speaker 1: don't have much time and I want to get through
Speaker 1: a lot of these. Matt Dents is Three o'clock High,
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated comedies of the eighties, also
Speaker 1: a cult favorite. Did you guys see that one three
Speaker 1: o'clock High? Nope, good movie, very strange, Josh Toko says Explorers,
Speaker 1: movie he saw repeatedly as a kid. You know, I
Speaker 1: think the movie Crushers are a little more in my
Speaker 1: wheelhouse age wise than you young uns. How do you know,
Speaker 1: I mostly watched films from like there early I watched
Speaker 1: a lot of silent films. Now, I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of early sound films. I'm thirty one, okay, Jesus thirty one,
Speaker 1: what a great age. But I'm just saying, like tastes
Speaker 1: are kind of videosyncratic. Yeah, and and like reinforcing that
Speaker 1: by having a podcast that like encourages me to like
Speaker 1: go back in time more like just makes me more
Speaker 1: and more out of sync with the cop of the
Speaker 1: everyday world. That's right. The podcast is called a Family
Speaker 1: Everyone Old Stuff. It's so good. It's about old stuff. Basically,
Speaker 1: we'll go with the Danger of an Gael Counts, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite crushers. Since you already said did Jaws,
Speaker 1: I'd go with The Exorcist who counts. You're speaking my
Speaker 1: language there, Joe Kimber says Shash inc Redemption. I haven't
Speaker 1: even done that show yet. I'm surprised, or that movie.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I want to pick that Get Busy Living,
Speaker 1: get busy crushing. Oh wow, maybe that should be our new,
Speaker 1: uh new thing. I like that. If there was like
Speaker 1: a movie poster for movie crush, that could be the tagline.
Speaker 1: I could see that get Busy Living or get busy crushing.
Speaker 1: I love it. Uh, let me go with my friend
Speaker 1: in real life. Sarah Murphy Robertson says, the Goodbye Girl,
Speaker 1: you guys should see it if you haven't. Goodbye Girls
Speaker 1: a great movie, Sarah. So maybe I'll even have Sarah
Speaker 1: on because I know her and she's wonderful. What's the
Speaker 1: Goodbye Girl? I made a bad joke when we were
Speaker 1: talking about Gone Girl Goodbye Girls? Richard, Uh, sort of
Speaker 1: a romantic comedy but a little more adulta uh and
Speaker 1: not adult film like it you know, doesn't feature you know,
Speaker 1: hardcore sex or anything full full dog, but it's it's
Speaker 1: not like a teenage rom com. It's a little more
Speaker 1: adult rom com back when they made this, like Richard
Speaker 1: and let's finish up with our old friend. Kevin Herban says,
Speaker 1: Oh Brother, where art thou? I have a thing for
Speaker 1: escaped convict movies? Me too? I love I love a
Speaker 1: good prison break and Oh Brother is a very very
Speaker 1: fun film. But we got violent on screen death on
Speaker 1: that one. I remember the part where John Goodman wacks
Speaker 1: them with a rock while they're having lunch in the park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he and he smashes that frog in that movie
Speaker 1: doesn't he. I call that a violent on screen death.
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be human point. And I think
Speaker 1: they killed cows too when they pick up the Gangster.
Speaker 1: He just like shoots cows on the side of the
Speaker 1: ring film brothers are always fucking with animals. That's why
Speaker 1: Emily doesn't like their movies. So we got a lot
Speaker 1: of comments here from crushers who are talking about their
Speaker 1: favorite film. Wish we could have gotten through more, but
Speaker 1: it's I'll leave this one up there for everyone to
