Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey Everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush, the littlest, the
Speaker 1: funnest corner of podcast world. You can imagine you're really
Speaker 1: reaching there, Chuck. How you do? How you doing? It's
Speaker 1: not the little list. There shows far smaller than this.
Speaker 1: And I think I've probably said this before. I tend
Speaker 1: to repeat myself occasionally, but there was a show that
Speaker 1: my daughter was into, and she was very small, called
Speaker 1: The Littlest Pet Shop, and they rebooted it and gave
Speaker 1: it a fancy new pop theme, and I like it.
Speaker 1: You leave things alone, you know, not off with the reboots,
Speaker 1: Leave me alone? Yeah, get off my lawn. Do you
Speaker 1: have a lawn? Now? Do you have a lawn? Chuck?
Speaker 1: It's currently covered in leaves. Uh. And I'm not really
Speaker 1: a yard person, so I need to I need to
Speaker 1: call the guy. I gotta call the guy. I got
Speaker 1: you or is? My daughter would say, leaves? Leaves? You know,
Speaker 1: there's a few of those, you know, the deal, those
Speaker 1: cute things that kids say that we just we're not
Speaker 1: correcting these last few things because we want to hold
Speaker 1: onto those as long as possible. We got leaves, She
Speaker 1: says guitar instead of guitar. Well, a key tar is
Speaker 1: a thing, to be fair, Chuck, Surely that's what she's
Speaker 1: talking about, is the Sometimes she still says beset instead
Speaker 1: of except that's cute, and just keep saying that I
Speaker 1: don't care you all day. I'm trying to think of
Speaker 1: Eden's sister says things are uh spooky, meaning like what
Speaker 1: does that mean? Spooky? Spooky? Okay, that was a spooky movie.
Speaker 1: It's spooky and covered in poop. Uh So, no little
Speaker 1: update on crusher Fest. Emily and I had ad Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a brainstorming sessions. She agreed to produce it
Speaker 1: because she has, as a former producer and business owner,
Speaker 1: has great produced oreal managerial skills. Um, And it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of work. It's a lot to take
Speaker 1: into account when you're talking about hundreds of people and
Speaker 1: meals and drinks and activities and events and live recordings.
Speaker 1: And we're gonna do it at the plaza Chuck, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it will come into focus
Speaker 1: once we have a location. I'd like to make it
Speaker 1: all as walkable as possible, which would mean you know,
Speaker 1: the plaza and maybe a block of hotel rooms at
Speaker 1: the Claremont Hotel or the the the the Highland in Yeah,
Speaker 1: we could actually have too, and we'll probably need to
Speaker 1: uh so we'll see. I mean it's we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to cap the attendants. It'll probably be capped at the
Speaker 1: eyes of whatever movie theater screening room we can get.
Speaker 1: And all of this kind of comes down to whether
Speaker 1: or not we can even get these spaces and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. But the prospect fills me with enthusiasm. What
Speaker 1: is funny is on Facebook page with all these people
Speaker 1: that have never even been to Atlanta that are planning
Speaker 1: this thing out for me, like, well, here's what you
Speaker 1: need to do it and we can we can rent
Speaker 1: a bus and we can do this and that, and
Speaker 1: I'm just like, whoa. It's like, you people are very sweet.
Speaker 1: I know you're excited, but it's uh, it will be
Speaker 1: planned for you and you can just come and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Can we call it the crush bus? Chuck? There will
Speaker 1: be no bus? What about a shuttle? Hopefully we won't
Speaker 1: need a shuttles. Yeah, we'll just get ridegays that'll be
Speaker 1: really safe. And you know, there's also I gotta look
Speaker 1: at insurance and liability and you know, went to Max
Speaker 1: fun Con every year, Jesse thorns. We can get away.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot you got to take
Speaker 1: into consideration when there's people there and you're feeding them
Speaker 1: alcohol and uh, then there's food menus and food sensitivities
Speaker 1: and gluten freeze and vegetarians and vegans, and you have
Speaker 1: to account for every single thing you can think of,
Speaker 1: because no matter how much everyone is awesome and cool,
Speaker 1: someone will not be happy about It's just true. It's
Speaker 1: just true. But we're still gonna do it. I can't
Speaker 1: ask people to sign a non complaint waiver just like
Speaker 1: hey be cool. Oh yeah, you know, yeah, there's no
Speaker 1: just like like like okay, let's just we have an
Speaker 1: understanding here, right, folks. But anyway, it's uh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be great and hopefully that'll be and like, you know,
Speaker 1: a year in fourteen fifteen months, I'm excited. How are
Speaker 1: you in your life? I'm good man. Um, I got
Speaker 1: I got a ridiculous new television. It's it's six D
Speaker 1: five inches. It's like it's you know, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why I got it. It's because I like to play
Speaker 1: video games and my TV situation is pretty far from
Speaker 1: my couch. So I was finding myself squinting at text
Speaker 1: and and not having as much fun. So I decided
Speaker 1: I was going to get a big TV, and I
Speaker 1: just kind of went went all out. That's that's a
Speaker 1: movie screen. It's a movie screen. And I've got a
Speaker 1: good Sono system. So now I really have like a
Speaker 1: good and I got I got my kid gets the
Speaker 1: My previous TV was great. It was like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like fifty four inches, and so she gets that
Speaker 1: has a perfect spot for it. I got this massive
Speaker 1: new beast and it's really fun and also like has
Speaker 1: like Apple Airplay built in and like little extra Ku
Speaker 1: Tremont that that we're not previously available. So I'm excited.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Dude, I don't have a huge TV. I
Speaker 1: mean it's I don't even know how big it is,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's the size that fits my living room.
Speaker 1: Um in, my living room won't fit TV. But if
Speaker 1: you can fit one, by all means. My m as
Speaker 1: a huge TV and it looks great. And she said, uh,
Speaker 1: is it too big? Is it? No? Mom, just get
Speaker 1: the big one and enjoy watching movies. My girlfriend clowned
Speaker 1: me about it a little bit because it does take
Speaker 1: up the entire thing that it's on, but it fits perfectly,
Speaker 1: like it's like, you know, edge to edge, it's right there.
Speaker 1: But she's like, it's a little ridiculous. Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: you shut your mouth. I love it. Don't ruin this
Speaker 1: for me. Don't make fun of my TV. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of gaming, UM really quick. You know, I finished
Speaker 1: Spider Man. I love that game, had so much fun
Speaker 1: playing it. I started, you know, I got those recommendations
Speaker 1: from you and others for my Christmas games that I got.
Speaker 1: I started this game called Days Gone, which is post
Speaker 1: apocalyptic zombie guys on motorcycles. And no, after you play
Speaker 1: something like The Last of Us, you just can't play
Speaker 1: another game like that because they all suck. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: at us. Maybe I can. You can give me a
Speaker 1: little advice here, Chuck. I'm at a standstill and in
Speaker 1: the Last of Us two, I just encountered what they
Speaker 1: call the shamblers or the big smelly ones that ship
Speaker 1: gas at you. I can't. I I maybe I don't
Speaker 1: have the right weaponry, but I keep getting just annihilated
Speaker 1: by these guys. Well, you can get in a certain
Speaker 1: situation where you were caught low on weaponry and m
Speaker 1: O and have to fight a shambler. Yeah, that's tough stuff.
Speaker 1: I think I remember being in that case and all,
Speaker 1: and you know, you're a game, or you just got
Speaker 1: a muscle through the muscle through it, or maybe even
Speaker 1: revert to a previous save and try to like sneak
Speaker 1: arout and find more AMMO or something. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: I got to a point like that in Spider Man
Speaker 1: where I was like, how do I even defeat this?
Speaker 1: It might have been the big boss fight at the
Speaker 1: end with Doc Doc, And uh, the next day I
Speaker 1: was able to, but I tried twenty five times at
Speaker 1: night and couldn't. And then the next day I did
Speaker 1: it in like two tries. Sometimes you just see a
Speaker 1: little distance from those things, you know, Yeah, a little perspective.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what happened with this. So threw days Gone
Speaker 1: into the trash. Actually no, I'm going to give these
Speaker 1: both away. In fact, if you want them, you can
Speaker 1: have them. But I played it for like an hour
Speaker 1: and it just you know, when it's not click and
Speaker 1: you just you gotta give up on it totally. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I put in that Witcher three game, which
Speaker 1: was recommended, and I didn't get into it. It got
Speaker 1: stuck at a certain point where it wouldn't let me
Speaker 1: complete this training, and that aggravated me such it was
Speaker 1: like a glitch or something. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: need an update, but I was like, I'm done with
Speaker 1: this game too. Did you reach the part of the
Speaker 1: game where you make sweet love? No? Do you do that?
Speaker 1: That's apparently a thing in the Witcher games. On the
Speaker 1: back of a unicorn no less Jesus as it as
Speaker 1: it happens. Oh, yeah, as it should be, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh so, I just don't think it's for me. But dude,
Speaker 1: I tell you what. I started playing and I love
Speaker 1: and I think you recommended this is the Ghost of
Speaker 1: Him something not Sushimi Somethingshima. Yeah, I've heard good things.
Speaker 1: I've heard great things. Oh I thought you played it.
Speaker 1: I have not played it, but it's been recommended to
Speaker 1: me very highly. I was. I was debating between getting
Speaker 1: that and Last of Us two, but I had a
Speaker 1: little past with Last of Us. I just had to
Speaker 1: go that direction. But a lot of folks have recommended
Speaker 1: this game, and I know the music is by Alejandro Cortini,
Speaker 1: who is in nine inch nails and does really cool
Speaker 1: creepy score type stuff. Uh No, spoopy, spoopy music, spoopy sports.
Speaker 1: It's great, dude. It's like, uh like, for me a game,
Speaker 1: the graphics have to be outstanding or else I don't
Speaker 1: want to play it. And the graphics are great and
Speaker 1: the gameplay is great. It's sort of like the sort
Speaker 1: of like Red Dead Redemption, except it Samurai stuff in like,
Speaker 1: you know, ancient Japan. It's beautiful. I know that's your thing.
Speaker 1: I know I do a really big fan of that
Speaker 1: open world. Yeah, that's great. It only took you, like
Speaker 1: what a hundred and sixty dollars worth of game misses
Speaker 1: to get there. Well, I got half in half, you know,
Speaker 1: like Spiderman and this one. I didn't like the other
Speaker 1: two and I'll donate those, so it's some kids who
Speaker 1: needs it. I think I told you it's funny, like
Speaker 1: have to stay in the gaming corner for too much longer.
Speaker 1: But it's funny. You say the thing about the graphics,
Speaker 1: and I do agree with you on that. But the
Speaker 1: thing that I've have been really obsessed with is just
Speaker 1: these switch games, and the graphics are great, but they're
Speaker 1: like not as powerhouse graphics, you know, heavy as PS four,
Speaker 1: PS five games. But what they lack in this like
Speaker 1: incredible top end graphics they make up for and just
Speaker 1: like pure game design and pure fun and the graphics
Speaker 1: are exactly right for what the game is. Um, Nintendo
Speaker 1: has always been really good at that. So like Super
Speaker 1: Smash Brother. It's one of the reasons I had to
Speaker 1: give this Big TV because that's the game where you're
Speaker 1: fighting with like six or seven other characters in one screen,
Speaker 1: and it can get really tiny because the camera zooms
Speaker 1: out so and if you have a small screen, you
Speaker 1: lose track of your fucking character, dude. And this is
Speaker 1: you know, been huge literally, so it's been a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. That's awesome. I love it. I love it. No,
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna go ahead and get right into
Speaker 1: it with the thing we were supposed to do last week,
Speaker 1: but we ran late with Paul Schneider because I mean,
Speaker 1: who didn't want to talk to the s He's a
Speaker 1: good guy. We're pals. Now here's the swim. You guys
Speaker 1: are now texting and emailing and it's really nice. You're
Speaker 1: stealing my boyfriend. No, I'm not my celebrity crush Um.
Speaker 1: So I asked the good folks in crusher Land, what
Speaker 1: movie has a visceral link to a life event? You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you go to a movie and and you walk
Speaker 1: out and you find out your wife is pregnant, or
Speaker 1: your father has died, or you know, something to really
Speaker 1: link that moment in time to a film that you
Speaker 1: can never unlink. So that's what I wanted to hear about. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here. You got one really quickly, I
Speaker 1: do right off, because it was Avatar, because my kid
Speaker 1: got really sick. She was freshly born and she had
Speaker 1: this thing that like newborns get. It's like a breathing condition.
Speaker 1: It's called E E S V or a VM or
Speaker 1: something like that, and it's like a very common thing
Speaker 1: in infants. And I was in the movie and I
Speaker 1: got a call from my mom, I believe, who was
Speaker 1: watching her that she was like having labored breathing, and
Speaker 1: we freaked out and left and like rushed home and
Speaker 1: took out the emergency room and it was a whole thing.
Speaker 1: So I definitely remember that viewing of Avatar. Avatar, did
Speaker 1: you stop to get candy on the way out, like Seinfeld? No,
Speaker 1: but we did get like she really liked. I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is very vague, but we u that's funny that
Speaker 1: we got her like one of those SpongeBob ice cream
Speaker 1: bar things, the weird like gumball eyes, but they never
Speaker 1: look as good when you open them as they do
Speaker 1: on the package. They're always a little melty and a
Speaker 1: little scary looking. So I remember that as well. Isn't
Speaker 1: it funny? Man? These things just like sticking your crawl.
Speaker 1: It's very weird. Wherever here we go, we'll start with
Speaker 1: Brittany Gilden or killed in I'm not sure if the
Speaker 1: K or the J is silent. Jurassic Park. Met my
Speaker 1: boyfriend at a wedding almost seven years ago and we
Speaker 1: bonded over our love of dress Sick Park. Fast forward
Speaker 1: six years, we reconnected in the city we were both
Speaker 1: living in and he remembered it was one of my
Speaker 1: favorites and referred to me as clever girl on our
Speaker 1: first date. That's nice, it's nice. Stellen Carlson, one of
Speaker 1: our oldest friends. Dancer in the Dark Tough movie was
Speaker 1: the only movie I ever saw in a movie theater
Speaker 1: with my mother. Wow. It's powerful film, and we were
Speaker 1: both deeply moved by it. I haven't rewatched it, and
Speaker 1: I don't think I will since my mom is no
Speaker 1: longer with us. I would prefer to keep that experience
Speaker 1: just for our thing. You know. I'm sort of afraid
Speaker 1: that repeat viewings will sully that memory. Oh Stellen, I
Speaker 1: just have such love for you. That's great, what a wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful thing. Don't watch it again. Anyway. I realized I
Speaker 1: was like kind of a glutton for punishment when I
Speaker 1: was younger, because I had like Requiem for a Dream
Speaker 1: and Dancer in the Dark on DVD and I definitely
Speaker 1: watched them, bought those. I bought them if you I
Speaker 1: also had The Wall on DVD, which is another downer
Speaker 1: though it's a counter hum but anyway, I definitely watched
Speaker 1: Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark multiple times.
Speaker 1: Alrighty uh? Nick Kelly says Deuce Biggelow European Gigglow because
Speaker 1: my friend tricked me into going because I never would
Speaker 1: have agreed. We got there and I was like, this,
Speaker 1: this isn't dairy queen. How can you be promised to
Speaker 1: go to get ice cream and get snuck into Deuce
Speaker 1: biggelow European giggelo. That's not even like that's the sequel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so what was the first one? He was
Speaker 1: just the male jigglo and it's the second one. I
Speaker 1: guess they took it international. That's what they do with sequels.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. I mean, even good movies. Look
Speaker 1: at Spiderman Homecoming or not Homecoming Far from Home. That's
Speaker 1: what they did there. But that was too great effect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agreed. Derek Speedy says, me and two childhood friends
Speaker 1: sat in a hotel room and ordered Insomnia cookies. Never
Speaker 1: heard of those. It's delivery cookies for stoners. Really, yep,
Speaker 1: you were quick to Uh, I've never done it. I
Speaker 1: just know it exists. It's over by the plaza. Actually
Speaker 1: there is insomnia. I think it might even mean more
Speaker 1: than one, but yeah, it's it's I honestly have questioned
Speaker 1: the business model. I'm like, you know, I do. How
Speaker 1: many people really want twenty four hour cookie delivery. It
Speaker 1: seems like I would just go to the croaker or something,
Speaker 1: or the good grocery store. Well not if you're stoned,
Speaker 1: you know, you can walk over that. I quite enjoy
Speaker 1: a good Stone grocery store walk about. Sure, it takes
Speaker 1: a lot longer, though it's true, and you buy a
Speaker 1: lot of ship you don't really need. It's like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I haven't had fruity pebbles in a long time. Uh so,
Speaker 1: Derek says. They ordered insomnia cookies while watching good Will
Speaker 1: Hunting the night before our first day at Harvard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. Is that about Harvard? I'm kidding. I remember
Speaker 1: a good Will Hunting. That's the one with the janitor
Speaker 1: who's really smart, right, Yeah, that's right. Robin Williams sorr
Speaker 1: I p yeah, and many drivers, how many didn't? Yeah,
Speaker 1: gotta listen to that episode. I like it's good. She's great,
Speaker 1: very crushable person to talk to, and I think a
Speaker 1: lot of listeners were like, oh my god, I could
Speaker 1: just listen to her talk all day with that accent.
Speaker 1: Zack Poyner says, uh, one of our old pals, of course,
Speaker 1: as fight Club, when the car flips and the characters
Speaker 1: let go of control is like when I was a
Speaker 1: passenger in a car that flipped. Okay, and stand by
Speaker 1: Me also makes me feel similar due to the fact
Speaker 1: that the times that I played in the woods with
Speaker 1: friends when I was a child. All right, good stuff, sack, Lisa, Um,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ilsa Lund says Deadpool. My partner and I
Speaker 1: watched it on our second date, the day that we
Speaker 1: now celebrate our anniversary. We watched Deadpool every year sometime
Speaker 1: around at that same time. That's great. All right. Here's
Speaker 1: one from Kristen Egan kind of a tough one, Blue Valentine.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see that movie? No? No, I just
Speaker 1: seemed like a real downer it is. That is enough said.
Speaker 1: My divorce is finalized. The month before, I saw in
Speaker 1: the theater the scene where she finally tells him it's
Speaker 1: over so eerily like my counterpart. Really shook me and
Speaker 1: never been able to watch it again. Yeah, Kristen, don't stuff.
Speaker 1: The reason why I didn't watch that marriage story should
Speaker 1: have just called a divorce story. Why are they burying
Speaker 1: the lead there? You know? I mean, and I still know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I look again, specifically, I have been through
Speaker 1: a divorce. That ship is not fun. I made it
Speaker 1: through the other side, so you think I wouldn't be chaired.
Speaker 1: And I'm friends with my ex, so it's not like
Speaker 1: some huge shame in my life. But that ship was traumatic, man,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need to be reminded of that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. In fact, you know, I told Emily
Speaker 1: when we were texting the other day that you watched
Speaker 1: in and of itself, and we can chat about that
Speaker 1: for a secon but that you watched it with your
Speaker 1: ex wife and that that you gotta I just said,
Speaker 1: you know, you've got a really nice scene there with
Speaker 1: her family that you're so close to, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: of course with an adopted kid, we always say there
Speaker 1: are a lot of ways to make a family. She
Speaker 1: just thought it was great, and I think it's great,
Speaker 1: and all man appreciate a wonderful, wonderful thing. The funny
Speaker 1: thing is I watched it for the first time with
Speaker 1: my girlfriend previous night, and then the next night I
Speaker 1: was ended up hanging out with my ex wife and
Speaker 1: we watched we watched it together. So I watched it
Speaker 1: with two kind of special ladies in my life back
Speaker 1: to back. It was very nice, both very cathartic, meaningful viewings.
Speaker 1: And I just can't speak you know, we already talked about,
Speaker 1: but I just want to add my hat to this
Speaker 1: particular ring. I cannot speak highly enough about this thing.
Speaker 1: It's just incredible, agreed, And don't google it. Just go
Speaker 1: watch it and watch it when you can really put
Speaker 1: that fucking phone down and turn the lights down and
Speaker 1: get into it. In fact, it has it's at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the movie, you know, the performance, it says,
Speaker 1: please put away your phone at home and just watch
Speaker 1: this thing. And I mean this isn't a spoiler at all.
Speaker 1: It just it made it made me um remember why
Speaker 1: theater is so magical, and it just made me miss
Speaker 1: it in a big way, big time, and in a
Speaker 1: good way. In a good way. It made me, uh
Speaker 1: not take it for granted, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, And like I texted you, it's one of
Speaker 1: those things where it's one of those performances that I
Speaker 1: was so mad I couldn't see live. But you can tell.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things that when you leave that theater,
Speaker 1: you catch eyes with people that you don't even know
Speaker 1: and you're all like, yeah, we shared something tonight that
Speaker 1: was very special, And now I have this weird bond
Speaker 1: with all these strangers who I'll never see again, but
Speaker 1: we all saw that show together, and I've had those
Speaker 1: moments and it's great. Same for sure, watch it everyone.
Speaker 1: It's on Hulu, in and of It's all. Charles Martinaker
Speaker 1: is one of our oldest friends, says leaving Las Vegas
Speaker 1: reminded me of the last year or so of my
Speaker 1: grandfather's life in his struggles. Man, these are some of
Speaker 1: these are really tough. Uh. Eric Mill said, I saw
Speaker 1: The Big Lebowski and Amsterdam. I saw pulp fiction in Amsterdam. No,
Speaker 1: not the first time, but I saw it again there.
Speaker 1: Did you get yourself a fucking beer? A real glass
Speaker 1: of beer? I wanted to see a movie in another country,
Speaker 1: you know, and we did remember that was in it.
Speaker 1: Like in Amsterdam, you can get a glass of beer
Speaker 1: at the movie. I probably was super high, but um,
Speaker 1: I don't know about the beer. Uh. Eric says, I
Speaker 1: was part of It was a beautiful day there. I
Speaker 1: always remember language and culture not the same thing. As
Speaker 1: I was the only one laughing during an intermission. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some guy asked me why I thought it was funny
Speaker 1: and insisted the film was stupid. I said it was
Speaker 1: a language nuanced thing and he rejected that as he
Speaker 1: was clearly fluent in English. Agree to disagree. I could
Speaker 1: see movie like Big Lebowski being a tough translation in
Speaker 1: a country like Amsterdam or Holland. Huh yeah, well yeah sure,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, not being a native Holland Dais speaker. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. That's a joke. It was a Dutch right,
Speaker 1: they speak Dutch? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah sure. A lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of cultural specificity in the big Leowski too,
Speaker 1: not only American culture, but very like l a centric
Speaker 1: culture kind of you know, yeah, Like I could see
Speaker 1: how a line like you know, the the rug really
Speaker 1: tied the room together. It's a very funny line. I
Speaker 1: could see someone European just going like, what why is
Speaker 1: that funny? Ruggs Ruggs really do tie rooms together? This
Speaker 1: is not a joke. It also makes fun of Europeans
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. So yeah, I guess it
Speaker 1: kind of does, doesn't it. Well, I mean, just like
Speaker 1: you know, Julie and and and like they're like what
Speaker 1: they were in like a craft work adjacent kind of
Speaker 1: like electronic bands. Wasn't it called Autobahn? I think it
Speaker 1: was called the Lincoln Berry Pancakes, Yes, exactly. Amy Man
Speaker 1: lost her toe. Oh yeah, that's right, that was amy Man.
Speaker 1: I should try and get her on the show a
Speaker 1: link to her. I met her a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Big Man fam Chris Campbell says, I worked for FedEx
Speaker 1: when Castaway was made. I flew in the jump seat
Speaker 1: probably a hundred times. That plane crash scene was a
Speaker 1: little unnerving. Yeah, I can imagine that would be quite strange,
Speaker 1: Jesse Cole says, Gummo shutters. In fact, it's what Jesse says.
Speaker 1: That movie felt just a little too much like some
Speaker 1: of my childhood, Like my mom's boyfriend at the time
Speaker 1: would have been one of those guys throwing the chair
Speaker 1: around in the kitchen. Oh boy, And for those few
Speaker 1: years we are a little more than free range kids.
Speaker 1: Uh wow, when I think back of what could have
Speaker 1: been had we not moved to live with my dad,
Speaker 1: who was far from perfect but way better scenario. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to hear that, Jesse. Yeah, no joke. That was
Speaker 1: a movie for me that I saw, really, you know,
Speaker 1: at that same age where I was watching things like
Speaker 1: Dancer in the darkened uh and uh Raccoon for a Dream,
Speaker 1: And that's another movie where you kind of got to
Speaker 1: be a glutton for punishment to watch that one repeatedly,
Speaker 1: because it's just like pure depravity and just kind of
Speaker 1: like Squaws comforts discomforts, and I mean, it's it is.
Speaker 1: It's a beautifully made film, but it's like very I
Speaker 1: would not call it a pleasant movie. You know, it
Speaker 1: makes you squirm. I've seen it more than once, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I will again. Old Buddy Vanessa Cashman says,
Speaker 1: watching Alive in the theater when I was nineteen, had
Speaker 1: to leave the theater abruptly because the plane crash scene
Speaker 1: brought back all the memories when I was of when
Speaker 1: two planes crashed in my neighborhood when I was thirteen,
Speaker 1: and I saw all the carnage. Oh my god, over
Speaker 1: eighty people died, both on the plane and on the
Speaker 1: ground and were scattered on streets, church, my elementary school.
Speaker 1: Very up setting. And I've never finished watching that movie.
Speaker 1: Oh good lord, Vanessa. It's unbelievable. But also it's so
Speaker 1: interesting how movies can just be so tied to these moments.
Speaker 1: You know. Music is like that for me, sometimes even
Speaker 1: more so, like I distinctly remember it's so silly. But
Speaker 1: like James E. Haaw from The Smashing Pumpkins had this
Speaker 1: solo album called let It All Come Down and it's
Speaker 1: not particularly good. It sort of sounds like he's trying
Speaker 1: to go for this like seventies am kind of pop vibe.
Speaker 1: But like I was listening to it when the love
Speaker 1: of my life, first love girlfriend just dumped the ship
Speaker 1: out of me, and so I very distinctly have a
Speaker 1: couple of songs from that record playing on repeat. And
Speaker 1: then it happened again. We got back together and she
Speaker 1: dumped me again, and uh that that record was the
Speaker 1: back record, the very um folky back record. Change look another.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a downer record. Anyway. Does she live
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, knol or anywhere around here where we can
Speaker 1: go poop in a bag and put it on her porch?
Speaker 1: All good? I have talked about her on the show.
Speaker 1: She sent me that box of DVDs. Alright, alright, no
Speaker 1: poop for her. In fact, that's a terrible thing to do. Know.
Speaker 1: Some people deserve it. Some people deserve to get some
Speaker 1: really pooped on. That reminds me of the great line
Speaker 1: from I Can't Buy Me Love. They do that to
Speaker 1: a friend and he later gets really upsets upset and says,
Speaker 1: you should on my house, my house. I don't know
Speaker 1: that one check I'll check it out. Uh. Lenia Barnett says.
Speaker 1: One of our old friends says, my grandma passed away
Speaker 1: when I was at Disney World a few years ago.
Speaker 1: When I got home, I was a wreck. My husband
Speaker 1: planned a special evening to help me get my mind
Speaker 1: all things, not knowing the full story of Cocoa, just knowing,
Speaker 1: oh boy, that it was supposed to be great. And
Speaker 1: then I just returned from Disney, so we rented it.
Speaker 1: At the end of the movie, we both realized what
Speaker 1: was about to happen. He looked at me and said,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I didn't know, and I literally cried
Speaker 1: for hours. I still can't hear that song without crying.
Speaker 1: Oh Lenny, A good lord, I can't believe Cocoa of
Speaker 1: all movies. Hopefully you can sort of laugh about that now.
Speaker 1: About life's irony's I think I don't know, like like
Speaker 1: I may have mentioned this before on this show as well. Um,
Speaker 1: but my father died very suddenly and I was very,
Speaker 1: very invested and into the show six ft Under, which
Speaker 1: is obviously every episode is about somebody dying. It's about
Speaker 1: a family that lives in the funeral home. And you
Speaker 1: would think having gone through that that I would like
Speaker 1: stop watching that show, but I just doubled down and kept.
Speaker 1: I mean it was on like for real, and I
Speaker 1: just like that was my show and because it was cathartic,
Speaker 1: you know, going through that with those characters that I loved,
Speaker 1: and the dad who would come back and who would
Speaker 1: come back and give like advice and all this business
Speaker 1: and um you you know, thinking back on it now,
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, that was heavy that I would continue
Speaker 1: to watch that, but it really did kind of helped
Speaker 1: me in a lot of ways. So I think movies
Speaker 1: can can do that. They can really like make connections
Speaker 1: for you, allow you to grieve in a way where
Speaker 1: you feel like you have support and you're not just
Speaker 1: doing a vacuum or something. You know, I don't know. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I love it. Art can heal, Buddy. Clement Scott's A
Speaker 1: Sound of Metal really move me deeply as I am
Speaker 1: suffering from hearing loss. Oh boy. Fortunately mine isn't as
Speaker 1: rapidly advancing, but the portrayal really hit me hard. Sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that, Clement. These are all very tough. This
Speaker 1: is this is a very heavy, uh segment, Chuck, But
Speaker 1: but very important. I think this is this is really
Speaker 1: good stuff to talk about, and it is a good
Speaker 1: point that, like all this stuff can really give you
Speaker 1: a lot of solace or at least perspective. You know,
Speaker 1: all these are really sad. I mean, I haven't really
Speaker 1: come across one where it was like, hey, the best
Speaker 1: thing ever happened to me when I watched this movie.
Speaker 1: Have you seen Sound of Metal yet? I've heard about it.
Speaker 1: I've read about it. It does seem it does seem
Speaker 1: very uh, intent and heavy, but it seems very beautiful.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I worry about that for myself because
Speaker 1: I can't imagine I put so much I get so
Speaker 1: much joy out of hearing obviously, because I'm making music
Speaker 1: and love music and do fucking podcasts obviously, so I
Speaker 1: can't imagine losing that entirely. Yeah, it's good. It's heavy. Uh.
Speaker 1: One of my friends worked on that movie. He and
Speaker 1: as as uh partner or I think they're married, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe his wife are producing partners. And sometimes they're um
Speaker 1: line producers. Sometimes if it's a smaller movie, they're the
Speaker 1: you know, producer producers. But they worked on like a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff Sound of Metal and Knives Out in
Speaker 1: that movie, with Uh. I can't remember the guy's name,
Speaker 1: but um, he is a listener now and and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have them both on the show and get their
Speaker 1: take as producers, and it would be pretty enlightening. I
Speaker 1: think awesome. Michelle Johnson, one of my favorite crushers, says
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. This came out toward the into my
Speaker 1: sophomore year. Uh, we're right about the same age of
Speaker 1: the Michelle, and just hit close to home. I knew
Speaker 1: each one of these people and really wished I was
Speaker 1: viewed as Claire, but I was much closer to the
Speaker 1: Allison profile. Me and my best friend at the time
Speaker 1: saught about a dozen times opening weekend, so watch it
Speaker 1: about once a month. Yeah, Michelle, that movie I saw
Speaker 1: in the theater, big movie for me and for people
Speaker 1: of our generation. And then let's let's finish up here
Speaker 1: with Austin Handler, one of our old pals. Here Dogtown
Speaker 1: and z Boys the documentary. I grew up skateboarding in
Speaker 1: southern California right at that same time, about fifteen miles
Speaker 1: down the coast from Dogtown and her Moosa Beach. Watching
Speaker 1: this documentary, it's like stepping back in time. It is
Speaker 1: spooky um, isn't there also like a fictionalized kind of
Speaker 1: version of that. There was a feature film, yes, Lords
Speaker 1: of Dogtown not good. I mean it was okay. The
Speaker 1: documentary is much better, but Lords of It it was fine,
Speaker 1: it was all right. I think they're trying to do
Speaker 1: a TV show of it now. I think I've heard
Speaker 1: that recently. Yeah, alright, Noel, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: good things on here. I wish I could get to
Speaker 1: them all um, but I encourage people to go and
Speaker 1: search out this thread and show some love. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a lot of a lot of really good, heartfelt
Speaker 1: stuff from a great group of heartfelt people. All Right, Noel,
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish up with something from the Crushers page
Speaker 1: from one of our old pals, John Stockton, and he says,
Speaker 1: this is a good one. What is a favorite fake
Speaker 1: movie or show within a real movie or show? You
Speaker 1: know when they do that, there's some good stuff, because
Speaker 1: that's where you can have a lot of fun being
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous most times. For instance, Ryan Murphy, that
Speaker 1: and a lot of these I won't know because some
Speaker 1: of them are just memes or scenes, but you can
Speaker 1: probably help me. But he has the scene from what
Speaker 1: was the Ben Stiller war movie comedy spoof Tropic Thunder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has the movie within a movie from Traffic Thunder
Speaker 1: that we're Ben Stiller is. Uh is the boy with
Speaker 1: a little kind of funny page boy haircuts like simple something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you make me happy in the scene. I mean that's
Speaker 1: slightly problematic scene, sure is, But I think let me
Speaker 1: talk about this show this several times anything knew exactly
Speaker 1: what they were doing in that. Yeah, uh, let me
Speaker 1: see here, all right. Diana Ratliffe says, rural juror God,
Speaker 1: what was that that brings a bell? That's that's from
Speaker 1: thirty Rock right right? Uh. Djokoski keeps a classic can
Speaker 1: just goes with itchy and scratchy of course, very much classic.
Speaker 1: Um let me see here, Oh, Jillian Stanley, threat Level Midnight, hilarious.
Speaker 1: That's good. That was office right, it was. Yeah. Some
Speaker 1: of the most fun are just the titles of these
Speaker 1: things that they come up with. Threat Level Midnight, Like
Speaker 1: what what does that even mean? Absolutely nothing, Jordan Ramirez
Speaker 1: says from the movie soap Dish, the sun also sets.
Speaker 1: That's very funny. Wayne Katz also says, itchy and scratchy
Speaker 1: Joe bomb Gardner. This is from Seinfeld Rochelle Rochelle A
Speaker 1: Young Woman's Erotic Journey from Milan to Minsk. Of course classic.
Speaker 1: We were talking about how like for sequels they always
Speaker 1: go international and then eventually they have to go to
Speaker 1: like space. Remember the Emmanuel movies, they were like erotic
Speaker 1: thrillers maybe or maybe just really have heard of those.
Speaker 1: I think they used to show him on Skin of
Speaker 1: Max back when I was in my formative years as
Speaker 1: a as a young man, and I remember it was
Speaker 1: Emmanuel and Bangkok, and there was Emmanuel and Spain, and
Speaker 1: then eventually I believe Emmanuel went to space. If I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken, you say, this is someone who sounds like
Speaker 1: they're trying to not say they've seen them all. I
Speaker 1: have not seen them all. I've definitely seen in Bangkok. Uh.
Speaker 1: Tanya Collette, one of our old friends and a lot
Speaker 1: of people, of course, said the crows have eyes, a
Speaker 1: reference that I finally get because I finished It's creek.
Speaker 1: I have not yet, but I very much am enjoying it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where are you three? Maybe? And the three they have
Speaker 1: the boutique now yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. Um,
Speaker 1: It's so funny because when Emily's watching that those scenes
Speaker 1: with that store, because you know Emily has a very
Speaker 1: similar store, and she's just like a man, it's so
Speaker 1: aggravating these TV stores, like no one's in there, they're
Speaker 1: it's so high on that place. They're still making money
Speaker 1: somehow and thinking about expanding. She was like, this is
Speaker 1: so annoying, like the struggles of small business or just
Speaker 1: washed away in TV land. Have you been watching One Division, Chuck? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, I watched the first two episodes and haven't
Speaker 1: been back since. But I need to. I need to
Speaker 1: just go and and barrel through it. Boy, hottie, it
Speaker 1: gets it goes places. I dig it. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I dig it. Matt Kramer has another thirty Rock reff
Speaker 1: Milf Island. Yes, I think I remember that all right,
Speaker 1: Here we go with Caroline guest and says I hated Entourage,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to see all of any Chase's movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those were always kind of fun. Did you talked about that?
Speaker 1: It was one and then there he was in. He
Speaker 1: was in like aqua man. That was a big thing.
Speaker 1: But they all looked real. They all looked real, cheesy
Speaker 1: and and silly and like kind of campy and like
Speaker 1: they weren't particularly good. I you know, I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I'm with I'm with most people on this. It's not
Speaker 1: a good show. But for some reason I really like
Speaker 1: blasted through it. It was watchable. But it's like it's
Speaker 1: got cringe. It's got serious cringe. Oh I'm sure it
Speaker 1: does not age well. But I watched it at the time.
Speaker 1: I quite enjoyed it. Though. The theme it's got to
Speaker 1: be peripher going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was
Speaker 1: a good song. Uh. I mean I liked it. I
Speaker 1: liked it, but I was never like I like these guys.
Speaker 1: I was not like, these are my boys. You know.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like that. To be clear, there was gotta
Speaker 1: have a turtle. I think I am the turtle of
Speaker 1: my group. I am the turtle, so you know, turtle.
Speaker 1: Turtle was cool. Turtle was good. Yeah, but you're not turtle.
Speaker 1: If they're not any of those guys, you're way better
Speaker 1: than all those guys. I did like the part where
Speaker 1: Johnny Drama got the caffine plants, though in his legs.
Speaker 1: So dumb. Meryl Pruce says another from Tropic Thunder Satan's Alley.
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. That's pretty good. Oh well, of course,
Speaker 1: uh Dan Gaffney from From Home Alone Angels with Dirty Souls,
Speaker 1: which I thought it was a real movie up until
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Did there was? There was an
Speaker 1: article that came out not read not that long ago
Speaker 1: that that like showed a behind the scenes of them
Speaker 1: making that clip. And then I think in the second
Speaker 1: one we talked about this, how you hate the second one,
Speaker 1: and you're right, it's total retra because the clip on
Speaker 1: the second one was Angels with Filthier Souls. That was
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Yeah, it was Merry Christmas, your filthy Animal.
Speaker 1: I I didn't hate the seconde I thought it was
Speaker 1: a lazy remake, but I did enjoy parts of it
Speaker 1: and really enjoyed watching it with Ruby h One of
Speaker 1: our old friends, Anna Shrets says the Dracula puppet musical
Speaker 1: from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Yeah, that was fun and really weird.
Speaker 1: Did you see that movie? Yes, but it's been a
Speaker 1: long time, and I remember it being remarkably different than
Speaker 1: what I thought it was going to be. Isn't that
Speaker 1: the one where dude like hangs dong like for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that was an enjoyable enough movie. That d
Speaker 1: Regula puppet show thing was very strange. It's very sure.
Speaker 1: I need to rewatch it because it's it's not what
Speaker 1: I expected. I expected it to be a real run
Speaker 1: of the mill rom com situation, and it was quite different.
Speaker 1: It has Russell Brand in it, who's really funny, and
Speaker 1: I need to watch that again. I remember liking it
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't know this reference Stanley Spodowski's Clubhouse.
Speaker 1: That's for Megan Broyles and a few other people. What
Speaker 1: is that, Let's see, it's reading a bell Stanley's Spandowski.
Speaker 1: He is in the movie U h F and is
Speaker 1: played by and is played by Michael Richards. Okay um.
Speaker 1: He looks to be some kind of weird, like offensive
Speaker 1: children's television show host. And I think there's a part
Speaker 1: where he makes the kid drink from the fire hose.
Speaker 1: I remember that scene. He drinks from the fire hose
Speaker 1: and it shoots the kid across the room because it's
Speaker 1: you know, such such pressure coming from these fire hoses.
Speaker 1: I love it. Another one from the office office, Seth
Speaker 1: Johnston says the Jack Black and Chloris Leachman movie and
Speaker 1: then someone under I think Sean Atwood said was called
Speaker 1: Mrs Albert Hanna Day and a bunch of people remarked
Speaker 1: on that that that was one of their favorites. I
Speaker 1: don't remember that one. B J Lyndja and quite a
Speaker 1: few other people said all my balls from Idiocracy. Uh
Speaker 1: von Bodette, one of our old pal says lethal weapon
Speaker 1: five from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia thunder Gun. A
Speaker 1: bunch of people have said that Israel u Archiga areas
Speaker 1: as always sunny in Philadelphia. Oh is there's a series
Speaker 1: of action movies, the thunder Guns. Yeah, ump recently, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I mean I watched it for the show a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. Joe Randazzo picked that, so yeah, remember
Speaker 1: well there's a lot of little Inside World TV commercials
Speaker 1: and there's a guy who's like, I'll buy that for
Speaker 1: a dollar, and it's like some of you don't understand
Speaker 1: what it is, like is it a game show? Like
Speaker 1: what is it? And he's it's it's always kind of
Speaker 1: like gross looking like double dare and there's like, you know,
Speaker 1: scantily clad women. But that's that movie. Um should get
Speaker 1: a little more credit as being a pretty brilliant satire
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, and it's I watched it
Speaker 1: on my new Giant TV the other day just to
Speaker 1: try it out, and then look, you know, you know what, man,
Speaker 1: let me tell you guys this and this is something
Speaker 1: probably everybody knows, but if you don't, you should. Uh.
Speaker 1: Most TVs when you buy them, they come with that
Speaker 1: stupid motion smoothing turned on where it makes everything look
Speaker 1: like video. And sometimes it's like they don't want you
Speaker 1: to find it, they don't want you to know where
Speaker 1: it is. Why is that the default? I don't I
Speaker 1: don't get it. I had to google where it even was.
Speaker 1: It was buried deep into in a series of menus.
Speaker 1: Weird that they that is the default. I've never understood it.
Speaker 1: It literally and makes it look completely different. The motion
Speaker 1: just looks unbelievable, unnatural. I put on Robotop and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like what is going on with this movie?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I gotta turn this off until
Speaker 1: I get to the bottom of this. And I figured
Speaker 1: it out. But yeah, motion smoothing, it's either called that
Speaker 1: or like, yeah, it's terrible. But I mean we've talked
Speaker 1: about it on the show before it's awful and so fine.
Speaker 1: It should be an opt ind. It should be an
Speaker 1: opt in, not an obscure opt end, like it should
Speaker 1: be buried to turn it on, and it should be
Speaker 1: called ship vision yes, select, yes or no like there.
Speaker 1: It's so weird that it's the default. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. And also, like we've we've
Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show too, how filmmakers are
Speaker 1: against it because it's literally like shipping all over there
Speaker 1: intended you know, viewing experience. Yeah. Yeah, it's bad news, man,
Speaker 1: bad news, especially again for like movies from the eighties.
Speaker 1: It just totally changes the whole field or anything in
Speaker 1: twenty four frames a second. It changes the entire field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see how would be useful for sports something,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, something like that. It's still
Speaker 1: it never looks good. It doesn't look good with sports.
Speaker 1: I agree, it's terrible. Uh let me see a bunch
Speaker 1: of thunder guns. Let's finish up here with um Matthew
Speaker 1: fober says honorable mention to Cone in the librarian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's in UHF as well. Also in UHF, these are
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Everyone. You can search the search
Speaker 1: for John Stockton on the movie Crushers page. It's a thing.
Speaker 1: I love it. The movie or TV show. Within the
Speaker 1: movie or TV show is always a chance to have
Speaker 1: some ridiculous fun. So I think that wraps it up
Speaker 1: and spanks it on the bottom for this one. Nol,
Speaker 1: we'll do us stream stream this in the next one
Speaker 1: because I got some stuff to talk about. I got
Speaker 1: a few things too great, So let's wrap this one.
