Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush Miny Crush Monday
Speaker 1: with my perfect Wifely Shucks technically and Emily Senda Bogan Bryant.
Speaker 1: If you really want to go down that road, yes,
Speaker 1: and it's not hyphenated, for the love of God, if ladies,
Speaker 1: if you add your husband's name to your name hyphen
Speaker 1: because I was opposed to it. It was very eighties
Speaker 1: working woman thing. But it's much easier because people just
Speaker 1: can't understand that you just have two less names. And
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't even take my last name for
Speaker 1: a long time. I didn't care. Yeah, that's why you
Speaker 1: know I added it on. I wasn't just going to
Speaker 1: replace my name. I was still the same human being.
Speaker 1: Are you Well, there's some things have eroded. Well, let's
Speaker 1: go down that road. Let's start another podcast. Uh mawage.
Speaker 1: Ways my husband is chipped away at my soul? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's good. I think Unfortunately, that would be
Speaker 1: a limited run series. I was kind of thinking something
Speaker 1: that would continue forever, which is ways that my wife
Speaker 1: has chipped away? Can we tell we're fresh off a
Speaker 1: dust up? Good hashtag quarantine. So here is something that
Speaker 1: I thought would be fun to start off our mini
Speaker 1: crush with. I've talked a little bit in the past
Speaker 1: about your previous job in Hollywood, and I thought it
Speaker 1: would be neat if people got a little run down
Speaker 1: of the production side of filmmaking. Sure, the office side, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if you don't work on film sets,
Speaker 1: you might not know. But all the departments have names
Speaker 1: or's you know, the glamour department, which is here in makeup.
Speaker 1: I don't think they like be called glam squad anymore.
Speaker 1: It's out. Yeah, I don't know that they ever liked it,
Speaker 1: but now like in in current days, Yeah, it's glamour bad.
Speaker 1: I guess glamor glamours. I don't know that it's bad.
Speaker 1: I just don't know that it's perfect. And if you're
Speaker 1: not perfect here in deep do do so the glam
Speaker 1: squad job up and then wardrobe, and then there's like
Speaker 1: the grip department, the electric department, the camera department, Art department,
Speaker 1: which is all the props and set design, which is
Speaker 1: the coolest department. It's pretty cool. Yeah, it also worked
Speaker 1: the longest hours. Yeah, but it's it's cool because it's
Speaker 1: cool people. It's super cool people, and it's cool work
Speaker 1: camera people. I mean, we love our Scottie. But they're uptight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to be uptight, you seriously, you have to
Speaker 1: be uptight because yeah, I mean a lot of the
Speaker 1: jobs are as well, but cameras responsible for the well,
Speaker 1: especially when there was film, Like if there was a
Speaker 1: piece of dustin the you know, and then what was
Speaker 1: it called the trap? No? No, wait, wait, there's a
Speaker 1: piece of dust in the check check what was it
Speaker 1: the gate? Gate gate? Uh? And then there's the production department.
Speaker 1: And the production department starts at the bottom with the
Speaker 1: production assistants, which is what I did for a while.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody does usually unless you know somebody that
Speaker 1: can get you, but you should do it. Even if
Speaker 1: you know somebody, they can get you a better job.
Speaker 1: Production assistant is where you learn how to be on
Speaker 1: a film set. Yeah, you learn all the departments. But
Speaker 1: production is when you have your production assistants and you
Speaker 1: have your production coordinators, production managers. Depending on the side
Speaker 1: of the job, there might be a U p M.
Speaker 1: A unit production manager, their line producers there are that's
Speaker 1: all still kind of yeah, production department are executive producers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's also that then the A d S. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess that's the assistant director of staff. But that's
Speaker 1: kind of production to do. Well, they worked hand in
Speaker 1: hand with Yeah, but why don't you start off until
Speaker 1: I would like to hear about three jobs. I would
Speaker 1: like to hear about production coordinator, production manager, and then uh,
Speaker 1: the final job that you had, which was producer. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: so production coordinator. Well, it was kind of like I
Speaker 1: was assistant production coordinator first, and that was kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of taking over the workflow of
Speaker 1: the production coordinator, who's in charge of all of the
Speaker 1: paperwork basically, well, not all the paperwork on a commercial set.
Speaker 1: The production coordinators in charge of all the paperwork, including
Speaker 1: all the accounting stuff in the film film office accounting.
Speaker 1: This is getting really boring because I'm kind of I'm
Speaker 1: seeing your eyes start to glaze. I'll just stick to
Speaker 1: film sets. Well, you know, on just quickly, on on
Speaker 1: TV commercials, the production coordinator will be working closely with
Speaker 1: the p a s to make sure they know what
Speaker 1: to be doing at all times, and they will be
Speaker 1: in charge of things like putting together the notebook for
Speaker 1: the client, the pre pro book, the production book, and
Speaker 1: then all the call sheets which is how everyone knows
Speaker 1: when to show up and the advertising agency. Right, um,
Speaker 1: all the call sheets which is explain. Call sheet is
Speaker 1: a big list of names, phone numbers and all the
Speaker 1: people who need to be on set that particular day.
Speaker 1: And then yes exactly and then production is often usually
Speaker 1: the coordinator and their staff are responsible for calling all
Speaker 1: the people and letting them know the very um operational
Speaker 1: job logistics. It's everything. Nothing has the call sheet. You
Speaker 1: live and die by that call sheet. It's everything and
Speaker 1: a new one comes out every single day and if
Speaker 1: something changes, it often gets republished. This is this is
Speaker 1: the bible from like the Bible of the schedule for
Speaker 1: which a production but on film sets, a d s
Speaker 1: are in charge of the call sheet, right they Yeah,
Speaker 1: they will work in conjunction with production the production office,
Speaker 1: which is where the coordinator and the assistant coordinator and
Speaker 1: production secretary if it's a larger position to kind of
Speaker 1: get them copied and you know organized. But the a
Speaker 1: d S handle that on a film set, right and
Speaker 1: it will have the call sheet will also list the
Speaker 1: weather for the shoot day, will list the sunrise and sunset,
Speaker 1: the shot list, the shot list or will list any notes.
Speaker 1: If you have stunts that day, or animals on set,
Speaker 1: or anything unusual or different, it will list that as well,
Speaker 1: and basically anything you need to know about that job
Speaker 1: that just that day. It's usually an eight and a
Speaker 1: half by fourteen piece of paper on film sets because
Speaker 1: there are a lot more people. It's a very detailed,
Speaker 1: sometimes double sided piece of paper that everybody's expected to
Speaker 1: have on them at all times. So let me ask you,
Speaker 1: this is it when you list the cast on the
Speaker 1: call sheet. Do you just throw them on there in
Speaker 1: any order? No, of course not principles. Well, so the cast,
Speaker 1: you know, they have an order that and I was
Speaker 1: part of this actually on a couple of movies there.
Speaker 1: Um credits are negotiated by their agents. So a lot
Speaker 1: of times as we're doing the cast list, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like that, change move him up, move them down.
Speaker 1: It's very incredibly detail, but it's always listed like the
Speaker 1: top principle on down. Extras are at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the very first name on the call sheet. Yeah, would
Speaker 1: be Jennifer Aniston or Brad Pitt, whoever, the very key
Speaker 1: person or finally in the case of stuff, you should know.
Speaker 1: I was on the call sheet first. Oh yeah. So
Speaker 1: then and if it's two leads that are like co anchors,
Speaker 1: then it's by alphabetical order, right yeah. Or in our case,
Speaker 1: Josh probably made a stake terns or something. Yeah, burn um,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's the call sheet, and the production
Speaker 1: coordinator works with the p A s to put that
Speaker 1: all together, but it ultimately falls on the coordinator. Well, no,
Speaker 1: the call sheet in a film is a d S.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but I was talking about my world, which
Speaker 1: is commercial, Yeah, exactly. And it's interesting how different it
Speaker 1: is because there's just a lot more paperwork in movies.
Speaker 1: You know, we're dealing with insurance certificates and constant inflow
Speaker 1: and outflow of equipment and cars and helping all the
Speaker 1: different departments kind of manage all of their paperwork and flow.
Speaker 1: And then there's like, you know, it's the nerve center.
Speaker 1: Department is the nerve center. Yeah, it's operation usually if
Speaker 1: something is not where it should be. Oh yeah. I
Speaker 1: was on a job once where I was the production
Speaker 1: manager and the coordinator. It was this guy had to
Speaker 1: get in Florida. He did not call the talent. We
Speaker 1: were on a job. You know, he was a coordinator.
Speaker 1: He did not call the talent. He that there's a
Speaker 1: long story about why that happened, but he sucked up. Basically,
Speaker 1: we are in the talent is out of Tampa. We're
Speaker 1: in Orlando, just shooting this one day. And but it
Speaker 1: was like a comedy of airs, like the no one checked,
Speaker 1: everyone was late, and no one asked. It was just
Speaker 1: somehow like it's very unusual the military. Yeah, very much
Speaker 1: on the tight clock. Yeah, but the producer walked in
Speaker 1: and goes, where's the talent? And I looked at him
Speaker 1: and his face went white, and my face went white, because, honestly,
Speaker 1: that's my responsibility. I don't think I ever worked with
Speaker 1: them again because of that. You know, like he told me,
Speaker 1: I said, did you call the talent? He said yes,
Speaker 1: he meant the extras. Who one of his girlfriends was
Speaker 1: one of them? That's what he was focused on. I
Speaker 1: almost murdered him on the spot. Yeah. You said something
Speaker 1: very important there too, which is you may not have
Speaker 1: ever worked with him again. Um, the film industry is
Speaker 1: very much a meritocracy. I mean you can get uh,
Speaker 1: you can get jobs through friends and stuff, but after
Speaker 1: that you're on your own, you're and you're only as
Speaker 1: good as your last job. If you funk up, you
Speaker 1: can do ten great jobs in a row. If you
Speaker 1: funk up like that on one, you're on the bench
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, it's a very like make or break.
Speaker 1: It's a tight crew that you work with a lot,
Speaker 1: and you really screw up, you may not be on
Speaker 1: the bench for the next job, but they may be like, hey, listen, yeah,
Speaker 1: like you will get it talking to like that ship
Speaker 1: can't happen again, or we can't keep hiring. Yeah. Usually
Speaker 1: though from the top down, I mean everyone is I mean,
Speaker 1: people can try to cover for each other, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be covering for people in your
Speaker 1: department all the time either. But you know it's really funny,
Speaker 1: is I never had any of those conversations. People are
Speaker 1: nice you and then they just don't call you again.
Speaker 1: Like that's film industry. You don't have to have those
Speaker 1: tough conversations, you know, like you can just like be like, oops,
Speaker 1: lost your number. It's interesting. I was thinking more along
Speaker 1: the lines of when I had my tight commercial crew
Speaker 1: with Yes Andrew and Andrew that I always worked with Yees.
Speaker 1: So if you messed up, obviously I would get a
Speaker 1: talking to you. But if you're new and you screw up,
Speaker 1: then it's like I'm not bringing that person back your host. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's cool that it's a meritocracy. To some degree,
Speaker 1: I wish there was a little bit more kindness in
Speaker 1: you know, like making a mistake was akin to death. Well,
Speaker 1: everything's money, of course. It all comes down to money
Speaker 1: every day, you know, like it could have cost us.
Speaker 1: Fortunately somehow that day ended up being okay. But an
Speaker 1: hour behind can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which
Speaker 1: is a huge piece of a budget, it is, And
Speaker 1: especially if there's anything special going on that day, if
Speaker 1: you have some special uh car yeah, that you only
Speaker 1: have for three hours. Yeah, like or god forbid of talent,
Speaker 1: like a big talent stress on a set, you were
Speaker 1: literally thinking every minute that we're not shooting something. It's
Speaker 1: costing his money. Yeah, and the tensions run high. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like that. Every sports figure we ever worked with,
Speaker 1: well well aways had him for an hour and then
Speaker 1: they were always three hours late, you know, and like
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. You're there for your day and
Speaker 1: you stay until you're done, and you but if you're
Speaker 1: not ready when they get there and you don't get
Speaker 1: the shot, like the crew is who pays for story
Speaker 1: with Tequille O'Neal, remind me did the still photo shoot
Speaker 1: with Hello O'Neal one time, and the job was he
Speaker 1: was supposed to show up at like three and to
Speaker 1: get ready to shoot sunset at like six, And he
Speaker 1: showed up at one and said, I'm here, everybody, let's
Speaker 1: do it. I got to pick up my daughter at
Speaker 1: school at two third. You can't be mad at that. Well,
Speaker 1: you can't do anything, yeahel So could get on the
Speaker 1: phone and yell at his agents, but it was just
Speaker 1: like all right, let's redo everything. Yeah, yeah, And he
Speaker 1: was great. He was an awesome to work with. It
Speaker 1: they high power talent can throw your world upside down.
Speaker 1: Puff daddy, Remember that job he took over. I did
Speaker 1: a film shoot for Dream, his girl band. I was
Speaker 1: a music video and he had a part in it.
Speaker 1: Well yeah he produced them. Yeah, yes, they were on
Speaker 1: his label and he had like a part in the
Speaker 1: middle and showed up super late. We were there all
Speaker 1: night and he kept us and once he got going,
Speaker 1: it was he ran the show. It was like a
Speaker 1: twenty four hour day. It was brutal on that job
Speaker 1: because I actually did a run to his house. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, I actually stood in I've been in Puffy's house,
Speaker 1: like whatever house he was living in at the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been in that house. That's where he did everything
Speaker 1: out of Yeah, that had I just remembered big art
Speaker 1: and white leather couches. Yeah, a lot of carpet. It
Speaker 1: was the nineties. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was Puffy at the time. He was Puffy, that's that's
Speaker 1: what That's what they called him. He was p Diddy
Speaker 1: at that point, but he that was what he was professionally.
Speaker 1: But that's why I called and still in my mind
Speaker 1: is Puffy because that's what everyone called him that you know,
Speaker 1: like that worked with him, of course you did obviously,
Speaker 1: So then you ended up eventually being a producer for
Speaker 1: largely for music videos. Largely for music videos. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: that level, because they're all kinds of producers. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: interesting because it's a I mean, it's still logistics and
Speaker 1: it kind of depends on the director. Yes, so all
Speaker 1: the budget is my problem, like and also finding things
Speaker 1: that directors insists exists that usually don't exist. But if
Speaker 1: they don't, if I can't find them, and that's my fault.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like I know it's a thing. Yeah, Or
Speaker 1: show me a picture, like I know, this is here
Speaker 1: somewhere in California. And it was like, you know, we
Speaker 1: have three days and two dollars and then what happens.
Speaker 1: You go on and you send like four people in
Speaker 1: a goose chase. They finally get in there like oh
Speaker 1: we moved into yeah, we don't want that one. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. So many times. And you know, music videos,
Speaker 1: unlike films, it's a really quick prep time. Music videos.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter how much money you had, it was
Speaker 1: never enough. And I worked on music videos when they
Speaker 1: actually had decent budgets. I was doing like half million
Speaker 1: dollar music videos. And that was when, you know, the
Speaker 1: norm for like a big artist like Britney Spears at
Speaker 1: the time. This was the late nineties. You know, those
Speaker 1: were like million plus dollar budgets. So the big job
Speaker 1: I was on, like the medium big jobs. So you know,
Speaker 1: we had a decent budget, but it's still you have
Speaker 1: like a three to five day prep day, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's when everything a prep week. You pull everything
Speaker 1: out of your butt, And I will say because I
Speaker 1: went from commercials to music videos and then back to commercials,
Speaker 1: music videos were a lot more challenging. And it was
Speaker 1: funny because the music video Cruise I never got the
Speaker 1: respect of the film Cruise, But I'm like music video
Speaker 1: cruise were more scrappy. They were more you know, like
Speaker 1: they worked longer hours. Yeah, it was like for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that was kind of like tier two in the short
Speaker 1: production stuff. But I was like, I would hire a
Speaker 1: music video person any day because they are used to
Speaker 1: pulling stuff out of their asses. So those Yeah, budget
Speaker 1: was huge. I was like I had to be on
Speaker 1: everybody about every single number that came through because, like
Speaker 1: I said, they were constantly we're up against it because
Speaker 1: no matter how much money we had, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: needed something. And a lot of times there was a
Speaker 1: lot of extravagance too, you know the writers of Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was one what was that job where you just
Speaker 1: ran back and forth to the liquor store and to
Speaker 1: the restaurant Wycliff job where I've made a lot of
Speaker 1: runs to the store for because you know, he comes
Speaker 1: with his crew with yeah, with his Usually the artists
Speaker 1: themselves are pretty cool. It's the crew that. Yeah, his
Speaker 1: posse kind of like, yeah, they want all the stuff
Speaker 1: you were you kept getting. Yeah, special day, I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of peach snops on that job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and a lot of In south central l A. There
Speaker 1: was a soul food place, yes to back and forth.
Speaker 1: Chuck was in his car the entire job. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like really good career. Yeah, soul Food. That was a
Speaker 1: cool job because and it's so much fun being a
Speaker 1: p A sometimes because you find yourself in the middle
Speaker 1: of the situation that you don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: responsibility in that moment, so you can just sort of
Speaker 1: be there. And the White Cliff one, I was right
Speaker 1: there in the middle of Hollywood Athletic Club. I'm so
Speaker 1: not cool, So I don't know what this is really called,
Speaker 1: but like the rap battles where they're improvising raps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was right there in the middle of White Cliff
Speaker 1: and like his guys and thing and this this uh,
Speaker 1: this woman came in and who was part of his group,
Speaker 1: and she just like shut it down off the dome rapping,
Speaker 1: and that's that's so amazing, right there in the middle
Speaker 1: of it. And I was just like this is like
Speaker 1: the coolest thing I've ever gotten to witness. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a really fun job. Hollywood Athletic Club right
Speaker 1: in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard. We did a job
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta with t I where this this was
Speaker 1: a tense day. That was a crazy day. They wanted
Speaker 1: to and did, in fact jump a car Mercedes through
Speaker 1: a plate glass window. I lost some years off my
Speaker 1: life that day. Yeah, that was a tough one. That
Speaker 1: was on Beauford Highway Atlanta three one one, which was
Speaker 1: like the there it was the atlant in a car
Speaker 1: version of what the one was in Los Angeles, and
Speaker 1: that guy came with me and basically saved my life,
Speaker 1: the guy from the hydraulics and like the big rims, yeah,
Speaker 1: the specialty cars. Yeah, they put it through the window.
Speaker 1: And then the one someone tried to tell me it
Speaker 1: was total enough, was like no, no, no, no, you
Speaker 1: can repaint that. Those were crazy jobs because on any
Speaker 1: given day, like we did a lot of hip hop
Speaker 1: videos and yeah, like someone could just say like I
Speaker 1: want to Tiger tomorrow. Yeah, and it's like and you
Speaker 1: get him a tiger, like you figure it out because
Speaker 1: there's no telling them, No Tiger. We did some rock stuff.
Speaker 1: I did quite a bit of rock in l A
Speaker 1: that was like, remember, oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: A lot of those hooba stank like those nineties unforgivable.
Speaker 1: We did an alien ant farm one that was fun
Speaker 1: of correct. Oh yeah, I spent that was one. I
Speaker 1: spent my entire prep negotiating with this guy because we
Speaker 1: had to get him for this video. It was like
Speaker 1: a movie spoof, yeah, Maria. Yeah. So, But like as
Speaker 1: a producer, that's you know, it's you do what you
Speaker 1: have to do. So I end up dealing with some
Speaker 1: of the higher level like negotiations, and that's another thing.
Speaker 1: Producers negotiate all of the fees, talent, you know, all
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Some of it comes set, but negotiating
Speaker 1: equipment deals. And I got pet Maria's shortening. He did, yes,
Speaker 1: he sipped started yeah all day long. I also remember
Speaker 1: the one for the Zoo Lander movie. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that was another crazy one, powamount five thousand, with Danny
Speaker 1: Boy who came in with his grills looking crazy. Right.
Speaker 1: That's where we shot in an abandoned tunnel. An abandoned
Speaker 1: subway tunnel was being kind of dangerous because the not
Speaker 1: just fumes. The our department had left a generator, a
Speaker 1: gas power generator in the back of the subway tunnel
Speaker 1: that was sealed off, so it was basically just filling
Speaker 1: up with fumes. So we show up and everybody we
Speaker 1: had to pas drover on getting gas masks from all
Speaker 1: over Los Angeles. We eventually got shut down by the
Speaker 1: fire department and had to move it out. I mean
Speaker 1: it was like, I have so many of these stories.
Speaker 1: They all just like, these things happen, and you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's there, and like we said to time is money,
Speaker 1: And remember Ben Stiller was there. Yeah, a little monkey boy.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's a little a little but everyone's walking into this,
Speaker 1: you know, this hall of noxious fumes with like this
Speaker 1: insane set and lights and the like. You're in charge
Speaker 1: of making sure people are safe. Yeah, there's a safe environment. Um,
Speaker 1: it's why it's a very fine line that you walk. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember my pim saying you can't go in there
Speaker 1: without a gas mass I'm like, we don't have them
Speaker 1: for everybody. I can't be I can't put one on
Speaker 1: and not have them for the rest of the crew.
Speaker 1: With two pas just driving around buying gas mass from
Speaker 1: like every hardware store. And then I remember at the
Speaker 1: end we got kicked out and the director. The director
Speaker 1: is usually I mean it's stressful, but once they're there,
Speaker 1: they kind of get in the groove and he just
Speaker 1: he called it in the round. He just put everybody
Speaker 1: in this like weird stuff and just shot the rest
Speaker 1: of the video. It was fine. It always ends up
Speaker 1: looking fine. Yeah. What song was that? Oh, Frankie goes
Speaker 1: to Hollywood Relaxed. I can never hear that song again.
Speaker 1: Well that's the other thing is you get play back
Speaker 1: and you hear this. Oh yeah, yeah, I know every
Speaker 1: single one of those songs, like all the lyrics by heart,
Speaker 1: still from listening to him for three days in a row.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that was fun. I think we should
Speaker 1: move on because it was a nice little Producing commercials though,
Speaker 1: is much different. It's much more boring. You're dealing with
Speaker 1: the client a lot. And what is the best job
Speaker 1: in the industry still photo shoots? Oh god, I know,
Speaker 1: I remember being on one. I did one and the
Speaker 1: producer was running I was like the coordinator and the
Speaker 1: producer was running around like a chicken with her head
Speaker 1: cut off, so stressed out and I was like, a girl,
Speaker 1: this is nothing, because I was like, if you are
Speaker 1: stressed out like it was, yea, it's like done at
Speaker 1: two pm. She wanted to go shopping after. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm going home. This is I've never been off this
Speaker 1: early in my life. Good stuff. Yeah, we should do
Speaker 1: more of these tales from production tales. That's what we'll
Speaker 1: call this. All right, so we're gonna move on. I
Speaker 1: asked the movie crush page for theater. Oh, I'm fairly
Speaker 1: bad at this. Well we'll see. I think we've done
Speaker 1: this before with you, right, yes, this time, I kind
Speaker 1: of I want you to feel safe here. I want
Speaker 1: you to feel comfortable. So I asked for eighties teen
Speaker 1: movie haikus. Alright, this is in your wheelhouse. It totally is.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start off with Derek Speedy. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show, Derek. I don't think i've seen you here before.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna get this one actually,
Speaker 1: because it's not the eighties, not quite the eighties. A
Speaker 1: love letter to John Hughes. A love letter to John Hughes.
Speaker 1: You checking his Math starring Emma Stone. I didn't see
Speaker 1: this one. I don't think you did either, was that
Speaker 1: easy a it was look at you movies? No, I
Speaker 1: did not see it, but I remember, Um, I remember,
Speaker 1: that's that's what put her on the map. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and I remember the promise. But I think, however, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason I did, I didn't know it was an
Speaker 1: homage of sorts of John Hughes. I might want to
Speaker 1: see that. It's about a girl who I think. Lets
Speaker 1: a rumor start that she's her virginity has been taken,
Speaker 1: but it's not true. Am I getting this wrong? Yeah?

Speaker 1: people onto it. Yeah, a lot of people have been
Speaker 1: watching it and said, yeah, the same thing it's it's been.
Speaker 1: It was exactly what we needed. And I wish there
Speaker 1: were three more seasons because I didn't stop needing it
Speaker 1: when when we finished watching it. Let's do another Goonies

Speaker 1: I kind of scrubbed through Goonies. So we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna do that, all right, We're gonna finish up here
Speaker 1: with uh. Actually, I need to find this. This is
Speaker 1: on the movie Crushers page. I stole this. I'm borrowing
Speaker 1: this from Nathan ben Zeal. What's a good name, Nathan?
Speaker 1: So Nathan, Oh, he's labled to say, conversation starter with
Speaker 1: a little part. Nathan said, this, is there a movie
Speaker 1: that you think? It's a very simple question. Is universally loved?
Speaker 1: That's tough? Universally Et? Certainly? Who hates Et? You're dead inside? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think that's probably on there. Dave knappss Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: A lot of people hate Forrest Gump and any crowd said,
Speaker 1: and nope, my husband hates. Yeah, a lot of people
Speaker 1: hate it. Like you've got to get you know, around,
Speaker 1: your head around Tom Hanks doing the thing that no
Speaker 1: one's awd to do anymore. Jesse Cole says this, I
Speaker 1: think The Princess Bride comes pretty closet. Amy Crouch, whose
Speaker 1: husband hates Forrest Gump, says, pretty sure, there's no absolutely
Speaker 1: university love movie. There's always someone who doesn't like it.
Speaker 1: I think what she meant is there's always some asshole. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, there's always some asshole, and they're all on
Speaker 1: the internet, easy to find. Lawrence is a good point,
Speaker 1: and he said some come close. Shaw Sank, for example,
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of people who did not like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so good, and Shawshank has enough grit. That's so
Speaker 1: it's not fluff, you know, like, although I would hardly
Speaker 1: call et fluffy. It had some grit too, but like
Speaker 1: it's a serious enough movie with a very lovable ending.
Speaker 1: Uh Yvan Bodette, one of our old friends is back
Speaker 1: to the Future. I don't know a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Oh it's so fun. It's such a fun movie, I thought, Ruby,
Speaker 1: but she Oh, I think she would think it was
Speaker 1: really fun. She's just on the cusp. Yeah, we're right there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. In the next couple of years we could
Speaker 1: revisit all the movies and we we finally watched Pattings
Speaker 1: and everyone after it was very sweet. We're gonna watch
Speaker 1: the sequel on our next movie night. It was a
Speaker 1: very very yeah, fun, just well made movie, thoroughly and tried. Honestly,
Speaker 1: though she loves television so much, she'll pretty much watch
Speaker 1: any thing. That's true. Yeah, I mean she's watched. She
Speaker 1: was watching that horror movie that I did, Dan Bush's movie,
Speaker 1: and she just kept saying, tell me what I needed.
Speaker 1: And now she when she sees me watching a movie,
Speaker 1: she says, is it scary? I want to watch it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's not afraid. Jennifer Mudge, one of her
Speaker 1: old friends. The Mudge says, I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: heard of anyone not liking Ghostbusters or League of their Own,
Speaker 1: And if that person is out there, they would be wrong. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your opinion is wrong. Yeah. Do you not like a
Speaker 1: League of their Own? It's so so great? Wonder I
Speaker 1: hear dogs? Yeah, somebody, Oh my god, every time I know,
Speaker 1: they're like, they're not here, but they're in the house.
Speaker 1: I have to go find them. Barbara Why says I
Speaker 1: think rush Hour was a universal buddy movie. I never
Speaker 1: saw that, so I don't know. Did I see rush Hour?
Speaker 1: I don't know, of course not. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Annie Murphy it was Jackie chan And in my mind
Speaker 1: that seems that No, no, I wasn't. Just in my mind.
Speaker 1: That's why I pictured on the Uh. Erica Renee Bossart
Speaker 1: says the Notebook and then hey, the party pooper turns
Speaker 1: out to be Amy Crouch. She says, you know I
Speaker 1: love the Netbook, No shame. Uh. Don Lazano, one of
Speaker 1: our oldest of friends is et of course. Emily Simon
Speaker 1: says Jaws. Hey, you know what I say. Yes, I
Speaker 1: still haven't seen it at all. It's I mean, I've
Speaker 1: seen enough parts of it that I feel like I've
Speaker 1: seen the whole thing like seven times. It's about his
Speaker 1: journey and the adventure in the story. All are you
Speaker 1: may explaining Jaws to me? No, I'm I'm just I
Speaker 1: just I wonder how he works. Uh, Matthew that the
Speaker 1: treaty says groundhog Day, I didn't love Groundhog Day. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: well Cambra Matthew says, my wife hates it. I didn't
Speaker 1: hate it. I just didn't love it. Like I saw
Speaker 1: it once, I was like, all right, I get it
Speaker 1: the same thing every day. Yeah, good premise. More votes
Speaker 1: for the Princess Bride for sure. Samuel Bett says, dances
Speaker 1: with Wolves. I don't think that's universal kill meat. I
Speaker 1: think the big deal is that everyone saw was that
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson. It was Mel Costiner. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: saw his ass. I think that was the big I
Speaker 1: think I think there was. But yeah, we got a
Speaker 1: bunch of Jaws in here, Skip dances Jaws as well,
Speaker 1: and a bunch of votes for a Wizard of Oz,
Speaker 1: David Mills and some other people. Um, Princess Bride. J
Speaker 1: Rude says, Princess Bride again. So I think those are
Speaker 1: on the list, don't you know? Yeah? It was it
Speaker 1: of Oz. I could see not aging super well. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it in about twenty years, though, I
Speaker 1: guess we'll be watching it soon. Sound of Music? Who
Speaker 1: could hate this? Son of music? Gingris says, I hate
Speaker 1: there you go? Uh? Sound of Music? Yes, great, it's
Speaker 1: just it's delightful. Yeah, if you go back in the
Speaker 1: I'll set in World War two, like you know, got meat, Yeah,
Speaker 1: got Julie Andrews, and it's got Switzerland, got great. It's
Speaker 1: got Christopher Plumber. It's not to like a Christopher yet
Speaker 1: he has right handsome. Actually, Jennifer Sawyer says terminator to
Speaker 1: what was the Christopher Plumber movie where he plays the
Speaker 1: oh the one with you and McGregor beginners. Oh, that
Speaker 1: was so good that again, I haven't seen that in
Speaker 1: a while. That was so good, so wonderful. All right, well,
Speaker 1: I think that about wraps it up on this one.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see, Oh, here we go. Stephanie Holmes
Speaker 1: Mills says, Roman Holiday, Parasite, Jojo Rabbit, Braveheart, Titanic and
Speaker 1: and all be all empar strikes back. But she spanned
Speaker 1: some genres, like some decades and genres. I think parasite
Speaker 1: most people love that. But there are a lot of
Speaker 1: people that were like foreign film for both pick or
Speaker 1: what do you call can those people fall off? The
Speaker 1: fall off with Florida, sorry, Florida fall off the flatter
Speaker 1: edge of the flatter Braveheart. You know, I didn't really
Speaker 1: love Braveheart. Actually, tell me love Titanic was Braveheart. Mug upson. Okay,

Speaker 1: it's great because you wouldn't go see it if it
Speaker 1: wasn't like, you wouldn't just take a chance into the
Speaker 1: Spider Verse. Yeah, you're probably in the wheelhouse that Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me see our friend, Zack Pointer says Princess Bride
Speaker 1: or to Toro, that's the one that we need to
Speaker 1: see with Ruby. It's the Japanese animation film that's sort
Speaker 1: of legendary and supposedly just like one of the best
Speaker 1: things ever made. I've never heard of this. That's that's
Speaker 1: on the list too. I think Paddington too. And to Toro,
Speaker 1: Sophie von Bergen says, The Incredibles. We love the Incredibles
Speaker 1: And to those Disney animated films, they're yeah, they're except
Speaker 1: the ones that are sad and depressing, sad at some

Speaker 1: your brain at the door. Were at that movie because
Speaker 1: it's a woman having an affair with a young boy.
Speaker 1: She did a noise young boy. It's I know, but
Speaker 1: come on, people, through today's lens, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: things that are we don't want to go down that road.
