Speaker 1: Hello, movie crushers, chuck your your singing voices beautiful. It's time,
Speaker 1: too many crush it out with Noel. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: to be here. Too many, crush it with you, Chuck.
Speaker 1: What if we did the whole thing in sing song?
Speaker 1: It would work for about a minute and a half
Speaker 1: and then it would wear thin for us and the listeners.
Speaker 1: I think it's already worthin. Well, there you go twenty seconds.
Speaker 1: How are you doing? I'm good, man, I'm good. What
Speaker 1: you wear in there? Got a panda shirt? I'll got
Speaker 1: a panda shirt. My girlfriend went to New York City
Speaker 1: and went to Chinatown and went to a kung fu
Speaker 1: store and bought me this adorable pan to shirt. Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say, went to a restaurant
Speaker 1: that served panda. Now, that would be that would not
Speaker 1: be on Chuck, that would be ontour pandas are She
Speaker 1: didn't have a panda steak beautiful creatures? Is that a thing?
Speaker 1: I don't think so? Surely not. I mean people eat
Speaker 1: weird meats, um, yeah, and people for sure eat bear.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of bush meat? Bush meat is yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, didn't it any kind of weird? It's just weird? Meat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not into any of that. Nope, not even about bison.
Speaker 1: Did you draw the line there? You have you ever
Speaker 1: had a bison? I've had a bison burger. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a good burger. It's a good bird. It's got kind
Speaker 1: of a gamey flavor. But a weird way to start out,
Speaker 1: you know what, man, it takes all kinds on these
Speaker 1: mini crushes. So thank you everyone for joining us here
Speaker 1: in the studio. It is another morning recording. We've kind
Speaker 1: of gotten to a trend of doing these on Wednesday mornings.
Speaker 1: I'm fond of it. You are, ye, So a good
Speaker 1: way to start today. It sets the tone, you know,
Speaker 1: it just makes me kind of in a good mood
Speaker 1: for the rest of the day. Thank ye man. You're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's really kind of a bummer and it really sort
Speaker 1: of gets me off in the wrong direction, but we
Speaker 1: do it anyway. No, that is the opposite of how
Speaker 1: I feel, all right, So, everybody, I posted some social
Speaker 1: studies last night. Uh so the forsaken West Coast could
Speaker 1: get involved because I get complaints because sometimes I post
Speaker 1: these things in the morning where your record and I
Speaker 1: don't leave them up long. The story there I've said
Speaker 1: it before, I'll say it again. Is because A I
Speaker 1: don't want it to be spoiled, so I only leave
Speaker 1: it on there for ten minutes, maybe even, so I
Speaker 1: can get everyone I need. And then I wipe it
Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. And that is not fair,
Speaker 1: and I get it. And the West coast is going
Speaker 1: to tumble into the sea soon anyway, so you might
Speaker 1: as well throw them a bone. That's true. So apologies
Speaker 1: if you don't like my ways, but um, this is
Speaker 1: how we're doing it. Uh. And for social studies social studies,
Speaker 1: I threw out for this episode, what movie scene makes
Speaker 1: you cry every single time? Which is really something if
Speaker 1: you ask me, Noel, Because for a scene to be
Speaker 1: so um emotionally fraught that that it brings you to tears,
Speaker 1: I think is a big deal and a strong, powerful
Speaker 1: thing to do. Yeah, well in the first place, but
Speaker 1: then to be the first place repeat it. That says
Speaker 1: something a lot. Uh. And I'm a crier, as everyone knows.
Speaker 1: I cry a lot at things, especially in art when
Speaker 1: I moved. Sometimes it doesn't have to be sad, Sometimes
Speaker 1: it can be something just I can be so in
Speaker 1: the moment that it will bring tears to my eyes.
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm coming from. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and tick through some of these and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read through as many as I can. Zack Pointer says,
Speaker 1: the passion crucifying Jesus. How about that right out of
Speaker 1: the gate. That's heavy man Jane LONGSHORESS Deborah Winger death scene.
Speaker 1: In terms of endearment, Sorry if that spoiled anything for you,
Speaker 1: but that movie has been out for forty year or so.
Speaker 1: One of the saddest movies. And you know my story
Speaker 1: with that one is I I watched that on a
Speaker 1: plane last year for the first time, which was a
Speaker 1: big mistake. Ugly carrying on a plane. Yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: a good look. The saddest movie, one of the saddest
Speaker 1: movie in terms of endearment. I always confused that one
Speaker 1: in my mind with Steel Magnolia's. I know, they're totally
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with each other, and that's just
Speaker 1: me being dumb. Uh, terms of endearment, is the better film,
Speaker 1: got it? I think? Karrie McQuaid says Atonement after being
Speaker 1: wrongfully imprisoned for years. James McAvoy and Kiera Knightly have
Speaker 1: only minutes together before he has shipped off to World
Speaker 1: War Two. I need to see that one. I never
Speaker 1: saw that. Uh A. Lisa Edwards Coco at the end
Speaker 1: when she sings remember me with her great grandson, with
Speaker 1: her grandson, Oh my lord, my daughter is like, daddy,
Speaker 1: why are your eyes wet? It's wrong with you, daddy.
Speaker 1: That's what my daughter says. She's nine. She didn't cry
Speaker 1: yet and stuff like that. She no, but no. But
Speaker 1: it's a similar reaction though, to your your your younger
Speaker 1: child is like, daddy, why are your eyes wet? My
Speaker 1: nine year always like daddy, what's wrong with you? Right?
Speaker 1: I'm a real human, That's what's wrong with me. Uh
Speaker 1: Landy Barcelona, great name, says Bright Star. So I assume, lady,
Speaker 1: you're a fan of previous guest Paul Schneider, who was
Speaker 1: in that movie. She just says the whole movie, I guess.
Speaker 1: In Bright Star. Rhonda Hoath Crabtree International Velvet Christine Fordham says,
Speaker 1: I'm not into sports even but every time I watched
Speaker 1: them lift Rudy, I lose it. Yeah. I once had
Speaker 1: to cut together a series of kind of powerful moving
Speaker 1: clips for a corporate video for a company that I
Speaker 1: worked at and they requested that moment from Rudy oh Man. Thanks,
Speaker 1: I'm taking a turn for the better in your life.
Speaker 1: They really have. Louise Martinez says The Iron Giant and
Speaker 1: spoiler alert coming if you haven't seen this movie. Everyone
Speaker 1: but he says the big finale when the Iron Giant
Speaker 1: sacrifices himself. Oh, and then he cries more when they
Speaker 1: show the exploded parts bringing themselves back together. That's a
Speaker 1: tough one. I haven't seen that. It's a good movie.
Speaker 1: You'd like it. Kate Jacobson says The Fox and the
Speaker 1: Hound can't handle her dropping that little fox off at
Speaker 1: the edge of the forest and leaving him behind. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said it before. These Disney or animated
Speaker 1: films in general just wreck people. I think that's part
Speaker 1: of their purpose. It's by design, it's true, and it
Speaker 1: all carries over from the original Disney template into the
Speaker 1: Pixar world, and they just kind of keep refining in
Speaker 1: destroy you, then build you back, and build you back up.
Speaker 1: Jennifer Wright Bridges of Madison County, when Meryl streeps he's
Speaker 1: Clint Eastwooden Town almost runs away with him, but doesn't
Speaker 1: and watches him drive Away. Great movie gin Oh goodness McGillivray.
Speaker 1: I think that's correct pretty much every Pixar movie, but
Speaker 1: the opening scene and up opening scenes and up for sure,
Speaker 1: that's a favorite. Yeah. Favorite, that's the right word, A favorite.
Speaker 1: Tears your crime moment, Yeah, that should be right. Um.
Speaker 1: You always hear referencing that scene as being one of
Speaker 1: the more powerful moments in the Pixary. This is where
Speaker 1: you see the husband and wife kind of throughout their
Speaker 1: life and pictures and growing hold together and all that stuff. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. Yeah, yeah, that one that Emily saw
Speaker 1: that movie and I was like, I'm never gonna see
Speaker 1: an animated movie again because it kills me. And then
Speaker 1: she saw Cocoa and then it killed her a gailed
Speaker 1: her again. Uh. Lorgan Logan Corse sought. I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: read this word for word because it's a great comment.
Speaker 1: The scene and Toy Story three when they all think
Speaker 1: they're about to fucking die gets me every single time.
Speaker 1: The closed eyed, ready acceptance of this fate by Woody
Speaker 1: really seals it. Pixar is a bunch of criminals, indeed,
Speaker 1: war criminals, mind criminals. I love it. William Angus the
Speaker 1: end of Defending Your Life Great movie when Albert Brooks
Speaker 1: refuses to quit and they open the doors gets me
Speaker 1: so dusty in my room. It gets so dusty in
Speaker 1: my room, Joe Janka. The scene near the end of
Speaker 1: Life Aquatic when z su Uh finally sees a jaguar
Speaker 1: shark and Steve says, do you think it remembers me?
Speaker 1: I don't remember that being super weepy. I don't remember
Speaker 1: anything in that movie being super weepy. It was all
Speaker 1: very kind of like straightforward to me. That's my what
Speaker 1: I think. I've said it was my least favorite, uh
Speaker 1: Wes Anderson movie. It is. It just I've tried. I've
Speaker 1: tried multiple times, Like it never grabs me the way
Speaker 1: the other ones do. Yeah, I didn't get the heart
Speaker 1: that a lot of his movies have felt very flat
Speaker 1: to me. Kind of same here. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: does make me cry though. Speaking of Wes Anderson, is
Speaker 1: the scene and Royal Tannon bombs at the end when
Speaker 1: Ah when Gene Hackman gives Ben Stiller the Dalmatian after
Speaker 1: his dog had just been killed, and he says ben
Speaker 1: Stiller's voice cracks and he says it has been a
Speaker 1: rough year. That movie's got a lot of heart, tons
Speaker 1: of heart. You know why Owen Wilson co wrote it.
Speaker 1: All those movies where Owen Wilson until those first three
Speaker 1: were co written by Owen Wilson. Yeah, it's like I
Speaker 1: almost wonder if maybe Wes Anderson isn't just a surgically
Speaker 1: minded autour with the aesthetic genius and and life. Aquatic
Speaker 1: is almost like taking that aesthetic and applying it to
Speaker 1: a narrative and it doesn't quite Yeah, maybe the same
Speaker 1: for me as those other ones. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: coriting credit thing. Oh, by the way, everyone, you'll enjoy
Speaker 1: this little tidbit. Former guest Dave Willis, uh, the Great
Speaker 1: Dave Willis of Squidbillies and Aquitine Hunger Force came in
Speaker 1: here to talk about Bottle rocket Um a few months ago,
Speaker 1: and you can go listen to that episode. Dave texted
Speaker 1: me from France. He bumped into Wes Anderson on the
Speaker 1: streets of France vay kitching with his family about two
Speaker 1: weeks ago and talked to him and said it was
Speaker 1: a great interaction, And how about that that's awesome, Like
Speaker 1: one I think one of his favorite filmmakers, if not
Speaker 1: his favorite, and he's probably dressed to the nines and
Speaker 1: some sort of tweed suits. I think I asked him
Speaker 1: that he was he was all Wes Anderson. Doubt Zesu
Speaker 1: was co written by Noah Baumbach. I'd forgotten that. So different,
Speaker 1: different team, different Bamba has a lot of heart though,
Speaker 1: so it does. Yeah, it's really weird. Alexander Pi, Pierce,
Speaker 1: me Earl and the Dying Girl. I totally agree when
Speaker 1: he shows her the movie he made for maybe a
Speaker 1: little on the nose, yeah, but boy was that a
Speaker 1: enjoyable little indie. Totally agree. By the way, everybody, it's
Speaker 1: not right, and I said this affair, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you, I'm gonna skip anything from now on that
Speaker 1: says Lord of the Rings Watch. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just sick of people talking about those movies. Hey,
Speaker 1: speaking of sick of people talking about a movie, have
Speaker 1: you seen that fucking thread on the movie Crushers about
Speaker 1: Harry Potter? Oh no, well someone just posted it was
Speaker 1: Dawn m who says, well, Crushers, it's time let's join
Speaker 1: NOL and digging and unpack how we feel about Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: And then it just proceeds to be an infinity thread
Speaker 1: of everyone feeling you know, how they feel about Harry. Wow,
Speaker 1: I gotta check that out. Thank you movie crushers for
Speaker 1: your interaction. That is always fun to see. Jessica Lynne
Speaker 1: Dalba or a di elba It says the scene in
Speaker 1: Titanic when the mom is singing her kids to sleep
Speaker 1: so they won't be scared of dying. Yeah, Jessica, that
Speaker 1: means you're alive, human with a beating heart. That's a
Speaker 1: proper reaction. Colleen Zacher another vote for Fox and the Hound. Uh,
Speaker 1: Mike Meade. Interesting Major League and the final play when
Speaker 1: the umpire signals safe. I get Tiria and not don't
Speaker 1: even like baseball? All right, that's interesting, Mike. Bobby Adams says, uh,
Speaker 1: MoU Foss's death scene in The Lion King. I never
Speaker 1: saw The Lion King. What it was in that time?
Speaker 1: Where I was? You know? Yeah, well I think it
Speaker 1: was in my twenties. That makes sense, Ye, yeah, you were.
Speaker 1: You weren't well that someone in the cartoons show I
Speaker 1: work on drawn the story of anim Asian plug. Um,
Speaker 1: we talked to somebody. Oh I know, it was an
Speaker 1: animation story and he talks about how it's not cool
Speaker 1: for a twentysomething year old man to go see a
Speaker 1: Disney movie alone. Yeah, this is an interesting point. Little
Speaker 1: could be a creepy once you get the kids back
Speaker 1: into the picture, or at least you go with your
Speaker 1: your nerd heard, then that's a little you know, maybe
Speaker 1: that's why you missed the Lion kid. Yeah, that's totally
Speaker 1: why I must do. But no, that scene is intense though,
Speaker 1: because move Foster like falls into the gorge and there's
Speaker 1: this trampling stampede of the beast and he's all the
Speaker 1: Simba's like no and all that. Man, how about that big,
Speaker 1: big tears, big moment. Here's an l A insider story.
Speaker 1: I went to the vet once and was sitting in
Speaker 1: the back and they brought in in the back like
Speaker 1: as in where that you're not the waiting room, but
Speaker 1: where the action is. And they brought in Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: Thomas and his cat Simba, because he voiced Himba, right,
Speaker 1: he is the voice of the kids Simba. He had
Speaker 1: a cat named Simba, and they were trying to put
Speaker 1: a facehood on his cat on Simba to do some
Speaker 1: procedure because some cats, you know, they're word some dogs
Speaker 1: sometimes about biting at the vet and uh so they
Speaker 1: have these like cannibal elector hoods they put over their faces.
Speaker 1: And then this cat was making it sounds like they
Speaker 1: were killing this cat. And Jonathan Taylor Thomas is sitting
Speaker 1: across from me, and his eyes were just like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: what is going on with my cat? Yeah? And I
Speaker 1: was just like, this is so l a I could. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really funny or not that funny. J M. Royo says,
Speaker 1: the color purple when Seeley meets her kids. I tried
Speaker 1: to not crying and to put this sore throat. Just
Speaker 1: let the tears flow, buddy, That's what I say. Steve
Speaker 1: Swanson Jeff Bridges finally breaks down the Fisher King. I
Speaker 1: love that movie, Chris Myke entire beginning of Up and
Speaker 1: the end of Saving Private Ryan. Abigail cam Lighter says, Hotchi.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that one, but I know the story.
Speaker 1: I can't even think about it without great heaving sobbing
Speaker 1: going on. Rich, go ahead, and what is just of Hachi?
Speaker 1: I think it's it's the story about the dog, and
Speaker 1: I believe Japan who comes back to the same place
Speaker 1: to try and meet his owner every days. Sure, that's
Speaker 1: gonna that's just your description there alone got me. We're
Speaker 1: both crying in here everyone. Uh Yoda dying in Return
Speaker 1: of the Jedi. That's from Verick Grasslely Jill sort of
Speaker 1: Vendom of Mice and Men, doesn't matter which version, Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: Roxanne Cardon when the little girl in Hope floats cries
Speaker 1: after her father, well, I don't even know. I'll never
Speaker 1: know what happens to her father. Why that's how the
Speaker 1: sentence ended. Oh no, maybe she died. I don't know
Speaker 1: in mid sentence, like, I don't even say that. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: Alan Tere says when the imaginary friend disappears and inside
Speaker 1: out for that whole movie was the Fields. That was
Speaker 1: Yet I've talked about that before. That was that was.
Speaker 1: That was a big daddy What's wrong with You? Movie?
Speaker 1: For me? What's like, what's the character's name, Mr. Mr
Speaker 1: bobble Edegook? Oh God, I can't remember his damn name,
Speaker 1: Mr nbleing Go. I don't know. It's something like that.
Speaker 1: It's a hybrid of those two, yeah, Dylan or Eternal
Speaker 1: Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. When he's fighting to not
Speaker 1: forget Clementine. I totally agree there when Et dies and
Speaker 1: again when Et leaves. That's from Christian Seely. Just a
Speaker 1: couple of more here, David Horra at the ending of
Speaker 1: Dear Zachary, Boy, you ain't kidding one of the most
Speaker 1: brutal documentaries you'll ever see. Uh. And then that is
Speaker 1: in everyone, So thanks for your social studies contributions. Um,
Speaker 1: and again I'm sorry if you didn't get to to
Speaker 1: find your way in this one. Just just be on
Speaker 1: Facebook at all times, that's my advice. For sure. That's
Speaker 1: not true. Well you know, I mean maybe not at
Speaker 1: all times, but you know, keep keep keep keep an
Speaker 1: eye peeled, keep an eye peel. All right, we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on to trope time everyone, because the tropes just
Speaker 1: keep rolling in. In fact, I'm gonna start off with
Speaker 1: one that was just posted on Facebook yesterday from Skylar Banks,
Speaker 1: because this one is a classic. When the nerdy kid
Speaker 1: in every rom com takes off their glasses and immediately
Speaker 1: is she puts in quotes rightfully better looking, that's in.
Speaker 1: That's such a trope that it's a trope of a
Speaker 1: trope at this point, and I like that you put
Speaker 1: in quotation marks better looking because I do not to
Speaker 1: get all soap boxy, but it is a bit of
Speaker 1: a thing in movies to where you know, I really
Speaker 1: like this person and I think they're awesome and their
Speaker 1: personality is great and they're funny, but they're just not
Speaker 1: good looking enough for me, and then they get the
Speaker 1: little makeover and then they're good looking enough for me.
Speaker 1: Not a great message at all, and it's part of
Speaker 1: the problem. So soapbox over. Uh. Let me see here,
Speaker 1: Sherry Oldenberg, this is a good one. Meet a deep,
Speaker 1: deep throat type informant somewhere secluded. You get distracted and
Speaker 1: look away for one moment and look back and they
Speaker 1: have silently disappeared. That's a great, great trope. Good one, Cherry. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see, Leah sturgis the unrealistic amount of eating
Speaker 1: out and ordering food take out? Uh maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: but do people really spend that much time eating out?
Speaker 1: Against depends Leah, And it's probably just for cinematic purposes
Speaker 1: rather than cooking in your kitchen, would be my guess. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a good one from Kayla image. Something is
Speaker 1: very time sensitive. So let's take a couple of seconds
Speaker 1: to stare at each other before cutting the wire or
Speaker 1: jumping off something. That's a good one, for sure, very
Speaker 1: heavily used trope. Uh let me see here, oh, rachel O'Reilly,
Speaker 1: this is a good one. In rom coms, female in
Speaker 1: the office drops a stack of papers or books or whatever.
Speaker 1: Male drops down to help eyes, meat sparks fly and
Speaker 1: that's what they call the meat cute one version of
Speaker 1: it for sure, which which is a disgusting sounding term
Speaker 1: to me. I know it's a different form of the
Speaker 1: word meat, but I hear it and I can't not
Speaker 1: think of just meat cute meat. Yeah. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the goal in every rom com is that very first
Speaker 1: meeting of our two eventual lovers um has to be
Speaker 1: a meat cute. There has to be some cute e
Speaker 1: little way spark that it happens. Can you think of
Speaker 1: some more of meat cute like that? They're they're just
Speaker 1: so on the nose, like I think that paper stack
Speaker 1: dropping one is a good one, or maybe just like
Speaker 1: a oh, and then when they bend down, they hit
Speaker 1: they bump their heads and then it comes yeah, or
Speaker 1: like the you know, they hail the same cab like
Speaker 1: stuff like that for sure, those are all good, No,
Speaker 1: Mike Carolin. When a character says they will never I
Speaker 1: mean never do X, Y or Z, then it's smash
Speaker 1: cuts to them doing exactly what they said they would
Speaker 1: never do. That's a good one, very much. Another good
Speaker 1: another one kind of like that is like just we're
Speaker 1: just gonna have one drink, smash cut to everyone smashed.
Speaker 1: Uh let me see here, Tyler resin Stoneman. Music will
Speaker 1: always determine how a person should feel watching the movie.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't know if I call that a trope.
Speaker 1: That's just sort of how movie scores work. Um, although
Speaker 1: the good ones will will not so much tell you
Speaker 1: how to feel I think yeah, or even sometimes go
Speaker 1: counter to like and they're not not conflicting, but like
Speaker 1: where the music has an ironic tone to it, where
Speaker 1: like something really heavy is happening and then the music
Speaker 1: is like some kind of light like pop song or
Speaker 1: something or yeah, secs exactly well, best long ever should
Speaker 1: be in every movie. Uh J Frasier. When a person
Speaker 1: holding a gun cocks the gun in mid argument, very
Speaker 1: common trope. For sure, I would already have that gun cocked.
Speaker 1: Rees Causon says, the whole good guys don't look at
Speaker 1: explosions thing, Yeah, that's for sure, or slowly walking away
Speaker 1: from the explosion. I believe we've already mentioned that. It's
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. Oh, Megan, Carol Boy, this
Speaker 1: one bugs me. People lighting a cigarette, taking one drag
Speaker 1: and then throwing it away. She said, it drives me nuts.
Speaker 1: No real smoker does that. That's true, because the real
Speaker 1: smoker would be like, no, no, no no, I don't care
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm gonna finish my cigarette before we leave.
Speaker 1: What a waste? Eric Catchet, good name. Um. When a
Speaker 1: character talks about their future or their hopes and dreams,
Speaker 1: it's a death sentence every time, for sure. Uh, let
Speaker 1: me do a couple or more here. Rob Johnson says
Speaker 1: sci fi movies proposing an incredibly complicated scientific premise and
Speaker 1: then re explaining it in kindergarten terms. Uh, like sticking
Speaker 1: a pencil through a piece of paper to explain wormholes.
Speaker 1: That's true. I really gotta spell it out in some
Speaker 1: of these movies. Joanna, Oh witness refa gir stay, refa
Speaker 1: girsty Yanna refa g stay. It sounds like Nordic. I
Speaker 1: don't know. She looks fairly Nordic. Okay, Okay, She says
Speaker 1: computers and technology in general working in ways they never
Speaker 1: would in real life, even though the movie is set
Speaker 1: in present day. Yeah. Well, well we've talked about this
Speaker 1: one before. I think where definitely in the nineties, especially
Speaker 1: the depiction of computers and the Internet, it was always
Speaker 1: just dumb. Yeah, and like you know, it would either
Speaker 1: be some sort of way over the top version of
Speaker 1: zooming through a world of like kind of three D
Speaker 1: rendered like buildings or depicting the Internet in some like
Speaker 1: palpable way. But now I feel like they've kind of
Speaker 1: figured out ways around that. Yeah, I think it's better
Speaker 1: for sure. And the whole trope of the password thing,
Speaker 1: like being able to crack a password in thirty to
Speaker 1: forty seconds, which always happens in movies. It's true And
Speaker 1: this is not a spoiler, just one moment from that movie,
Speaker 1: Um that your boy Boots Riley did that actually saw
Speaker 1: last night, Sorry to bother you, that we're gonna hopefully
Speaker 1: do a little mini review of soon. Um, there's an
Speaker 1: amazing gag in it where there's a password for an
Speaker 1: elevator that's like it takes twenty minutes to do, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a great sight gag. Do do
Speaker 1: do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do do
Speaker 1: do do do do. It's just hilarious. Yeah, we'll do
Speaker 1: a krush to judgment on that one, for sure, Mike meed.
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish up with two more. Mike need two
Speaker 1: slaps on the top of a car when it starts
Speaker 1: driving away by the person not in the car. You
Speaker 1: know that old gag. You get out of the car
Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm ready, you like, tap on the car,
Speaker 1: put the cabby to leave or whatever. I do that
Speaker 1: in real life because of movies. It's funny. I kind
Speaker 1: of like it's a not in a wink in my book.
Speaker 1: And then finally, Jeff Faler says telephone telephone booth venting character,
Speaker 1: it's a phone call that doesn't go well on the phone.
Speaker 1: Both then beats up the d set, right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. Not then like smashing a receiver like
Speaker 1: in the old days. Well, and clearly the phone booths
Speaker 1: are completely soundproof, yeah, because the shot from outside you
Speaker 1: see them just like screaming primarily screaming inside and you
Speaker 1: can't hear it. That's true. Miss phone booths. I know
Speaker 1: you can't smash an iPhone. I guess you could well
Speaker 1: even Now here's the thing, Chuck. When you see even
Speaker 1: see remnants of pay phones, they're not booths. They're just
Speaker 1: like on a wall left over in a subway station
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, very few excellent booth step in two.
Speaker 1: They do have them in in the UK though. I
Speaker 1: believe phone phone boxes that's a thing. Yeah, like the
Speaker 1: red ones, right, that look like you could take a
Speaker 1: poop in there. And also they look like you could
Speaker 1: probably withstand a nuclear blast in there because they look
Speaker 1: like they're made of real heavy material. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: All right, we're moving on everyone to finish up with
Speaker 1: stream this and uh comment card, which are the listener
Speaker 1: mails from you to us stream this? This one's a
Speaker 1: little late, but I am just now watching The oh A.
Speaker 1: Did you see the oh A? Yeah? I enjoyed it
Speaker 1: very much. All right, Well I'm not I'm only into
Speaker 1: the first like handful of episodes and just quick background.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm watching this is because a Emily and
Speaker 1: I were like, we need a new TV thing. We
Speaker 1: can just sort of binge over the next couple of weeks. Um, uh,
Speaker 1: because it's been a minute since we've done that, and uh,
Speaker 1: we got an email, Josh and I have stuff. You
Speaker 1: should have got an email from an o A casting
Speaker 1: director that said, hey, guys, uh, would you be interested
Speaker 1: in being in a scene in season two of The
Speaker 1: o A playing yourselves where you're interviewing like an Elon
Speaker 1: Musk type. Nice? Right, Yeah, So I had heard of
Speaker 1: the show. It caused a lot of buzz, but I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it. But I was like, sure, I will
Speaker 1: totally do that. She's like it's like one day and
Speaker 1: Josh is like, yeah, man, let's totally do it. So
Speaker 1: email back. It was like yeah, you know, like where
Speaker 1: do we show up? And she was like all right, well, um,
Speaker 1: good to know you're into it. I'll submit your name.
Speaker 1: Um with the other podcasters we've reached out to know.
Speaker 1: It seemed like that's awful, what a bait and Swiss.
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to withdraw my name and be like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that's okay, use Roman Mars. That is too funny, man,
Speaker 1: I mean it still may happen. No, no, I'm I'm sure.
Speaker 1: It was definitely like a little bit of a Oh.
Speaker 1: I thought this was just sort of a done deal. Yeah, yeah, No,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a sort of takes the win out
Speaker 1: of your sales, Like do we have to audition? Just
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast toll get one look at me
Speaker 1: and be like, I don't know about that. Let's just
Speaker 1: have Josh. Anyway, I'm watching The o A now because
Speaker 1: that made me remember that show uh created by Britt
Speaker 1: Marling and her filmmaking partners Zoo. How do you pronounce
Speaker 1: that batman leash? I'm not quite sure. I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever heard it spoken. All right, I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 1: And they have made a couple of movies together, and
Speaker 1: I believe are old pals from from college and made
Speaker 1: this this show on Netflix called The o A where
Speaker 1: a woman in the in the pie. That episode shows
Speaker 1: up seven years after disappearing, and she was blind when
Speaker 1: she disappeared, and she has vision when she is back.
Speaker 1: And she also has all these strange scars on her
Speaker 1: back that you don't really get a look at it first,
Speaker 1: that are in some strange looks like a language or pattern. Um.
Speaker 1: She had been adopted by her parents, we learned in
Speaker 1: subsequent episodes, and her parents welcome her back into her home.
Speaker 1: And then the way that she tells us you know
Speaker 1: this this thing sets it up in the first episode
Speaker 1: is like, well, what what a weird mystery this woman
Speaker 1: shows up? I wonder what this is going to be.
Speaker 1: And then in the last ten minutes of the pilot
Speaker 1: twelve minutes of the pilot, she starts to tell the
Speaker 1: story of where she'd been to these teenagers she gathered
Speaker 1: up uh and and abandoned or not abandoned a house
Speaker 1: under construction because she supposedly needs them to accomplish some
Speaker 1: task from uh, from where she had been she has
Speaker 1: some some task at hand. Uh. But then the it
Speaker 1: just goes bat shipped crazy in the last ten or
Speaker 1: twelve minutes of this pilot, where all of a sudden
Speaker 1: she tells the story about she lost her sight and
Speaker 1: you're like, what just happened in this TV show? So
Speaker 1: I'm just now getting into it. But it's a It
Speaker 1: has all the markings of a show I'm into, and
Speaker 1: I've read enough about it to where I know that
Speaker 1: it just there are a lot of twist and turns,
Speaker 1: and it's a very unusual show from what I understand.
Speaker 1: And if you've seen her films, like Another Earth is one.
Speaker 1: I think Sound of My Voice is another one. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of push and pull between is this real?
Speaker 1: Is this in someone's head? And that's not giving anything away.
Speaker 1: That's just a thing that she and her her body
Speaker 1: like to play with, and I think it's very successful
Speaker 1: and it's cool to see it drawn out in a
Speaker 1: series rather than just like in an hour and a
Speaker 1: half film. Um that there's one movie they made about
Speaker 1: like environmental environmental kind of terrorist group that I wasn't
Speaker 1: crazy about, But the other two I really like a lot.
Speaker 1: Another Earth and Sound of My Voice are pretty great.
Speaker 1: I've haven't seen either one of but I've heard about
Speaker 1: them very and she's she's in both of them as well,
Speaker 1: and so I'm a fan of of of her work
Speaker 1: very much. So, so I'm actuous to see what season
Speaker 1: two holds because season one ends on that kind of
Speaker 1: answering that question that I'm that I just pose like,
Speaker 1: is it is it in someone's head? Is it real? Um?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, is that the end? Obviously it's not.
Speaker 1: Sew it up. I want to see where they go
Speaker 1: with it. But I'm a huge fan of the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't wait, um, but very divisive because I've heard
Speaker 1: people say they hated it. Well, it's got that lost
Speaker 1: quality to it, either kind of for it or again
Speaker 1: you know where it's like some people don't like getting
Speaker 1: jerked around or feel like they're being jerked around by
Speaker 1: that whole is it real? Is it fake? Thing? And
Speaker 1: this can do that definitely leans into that pretty hard.
Speaker 1: But I think I think it pays off pretty well. Awesome,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I read a little bit on it
Speaker 1: last night that this one reviewer said it was like
Speaker 1: the most purely artistic, most pure artistic expression that they
Speaker 1: had seen on TV in a long time. It also
Speaker 1: incorporates dance weirdly in in a way that you can
Speaker 1: even imagine if you're only in the first episode. Can't wait.
Speaker 1: It's really cool. It's a it's a it becomes a
Speaker 1: recurring theme in this show. It's pretty beautiful. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: have to follow up on that then all. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll be finished with that in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I think I think you guys will enjoy it, but
Speaker 1: I'm anxous to see what questions you have, and I'd
Speaker 1: love to talk about it with you. Guys awesome. Alright,
Speaker 1: Comic Card, and I'll keep everyone up to date if
Speaker 1: Josh and I actually make the cut or if they
Speaker 1: go with the McIlroy brothers. Um, all right, Comic Card.
Speaker 1: We'll do five questions from you to us. Aaron Burke says,
Speaker 1: what are two unrelated as in not the same franchise
Speaker 1: movies that make a perfect double feature? That's a good question,
Speaker 1: and Aaron I gave this a little thought and kind
Speaker 1: of went with old school, since I'm an old man
Speaker 1: of the original Alien and the Thing. Um, those two
Speaker 1: movies go great together, like peanut butter and chocolate. So
Speaker 1: that's my pick. Do you have one noll good double feature? Uh?
Speaker 1: From two unrelated movies? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I see one
Speaker 1: and good pairing? A good uh, A good curated double feature.
Speaker 1: You know, I would need to think about that. Let me,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's maybe I'll tell you in the
Speaker 1: next episode. All right. Uh. Rebecca Nunne says, what is
Speaker 1: your favorite sports movie? Well, Rebecca, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: my top three with a couple of honorable mentions, so
Speaker 1: you might want to call it a top five, but
Speaker 1: without giving it too much thought. I went with Hoosiers
Speaker 1: is my favorite sports movie of all time. Hoosiers gets
Speaker 1: me every single time. Love love, love that movie. That's
Speaker 1: the basketball one right with Gene Hackman. Yeah, Man, Indiana
Speaker 1: good movie, yep, um, because I mean the sports thing
Speaker 1: is a is a big part of it, obviously, but
Speaker 1: it's a really good film about relationships and family and
Speaker 1: the complications of fathers and sons and the ghosts of
Speaker 1: our past. A really good film. Uh. And then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with The Natural Robert Redford's a great baseball
Speaker 1: classic with Glenn Close. I'm gonna go with Rocky One
Speaker 1: great great movie. Did you see Creed? Great movie? You
Speaker 1: see there's Creed to coming out. I'm gonna go see that.
Speaker 1: It looks good, looks good. I thought Creed was really good.
Speaker 1: I'm into the fact that you get a new a
Speaker 1: reboot to a sequeled, heavily sequeled franchise like that, and
Speaker 1: then you get and then you get the sequel to
Speaker 1: the reboot and it's got old Rocky and it as
Speaker 1: the old man. I think it's genius. It was really
Speaker 1: pretty smart to go with Apollo creed son. It's it's
Speaker 1: natural and what's his face Michael B. Jordan's he's great.
Speaker 1: He's he's awesome, and I liked him since the Wire.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was the kid in the wire, one
Speaker 1: of the kids. But uh. And then a couple of
Speaker 1: honorable mentions for baseball movies, Bull Durham and Major League
Speaker 1: to the great baseball comedies. Bull Durham is really funny movie.
Speaker 1: My wife Emily does not care anything about sports for
Speaker 1: the most part, and Bull Drum is one of her
Speaker 1: favorite comedies. Yeah, she loves it. Major League is funny
Speaker 1: with Charlie Sheen. Yeah, that first one was good. It
Speaker 1: may run like Hayes, but you hit like ship. It's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite lines. Probably a little problematic if
Speaker 1: you go back and watch it now. Maybe little maybe
Speaker 1: some insensitivity perhaps maybe I don't know, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there. It's a comedy from that era, so
Speaker 1: it's bound to not to stand up today. Alright, Three more,
Speaker 1: Abby Zachos says, what's your favorite blooper reel of a movie? Uh? Again,
Speaker 1: because I'm an old man, the first thing comes to
Speaker 1: my mind. With the great Burt Reynolds movies, Hooper and
Speaker 1: Cannonball Run where notorious for their wonderful, wonderful blooper reels
Speaker 1: at the end credits. Um, I know people are doing
Speaker 1: that a little bit more now some of these comedies
Speaker 1: for sure. Uh. And I will say this, I've rewatched
Speaker 1: a bit of The Hangover the other night, which I
Speaker 1: hadn't seen it a long time, the first one, and
Speaker 1: although it's not a blooper real, I thought it was
Speaker 1: really sort of ingenious comedically at the end of that
Speaker 1: movie to show the role of film pictures. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was really kind of funny. Well that was that was
Speaker 1: the Hangover, that was the night. That was the night
Speaker 1: that they just hint around in the movie. It's really
Speaker 1: really funny payoff at the end of that film. And
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, anchor Man has a really good blooper,
Speaker 1: really well ship. I'm pretty positive because Will Ferrell's a
Speaker 1: master of just like riffing, and a lot of bloopers
Speaker 1: are like they'll start a take and then the actor
Speaker 1: will take the piss out of everybody and it's not
Speaker 1: him sucking up, but just him choosing to. I don't
Speaker 1: see how they held it together during that film. Ball Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love I love that first thing, very very good. Alright,
Speaker 1: A couple of more, Nick Jackson, if someone doesn't cry
Speaker 1: during sling Blade, is it safe to assume they don't
Speaker 1: have a soul? Correct? Nick? I've said it before. Sling
Speaker 1: Blade to me is a damn near perfect movie. I
Speaker 1: cannot find a fault in it. It is. It is
Speaker 1: one of the more perfect movies, uh, of all time.
Speaker 1: To me, hits it on all levels. It's all great. Well,
Speaker 1: it's also like not so overwrought. It's like a very
Speaker 1: simple story, very simple kind of character study. It's obviously
Speaker 1: got complexities to it, but it doesn't try too hard.
Speaker 1: It just like does accomplishes what it sets out to do.
Speaker 1: It's very very good movie. Yeah, very effective. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then finally from Emily Blunt and All's favorite, uh favorite
Speaker 1: movie Crusher, Best Ensemble Cast and a mocumentary. Emily Blunt,
Speaker 1: the actress, We're gonna do this every time, all right?
Speaker 1: Best ensemble cast in a mocumentary, She says, drop dead, gorgeous. Um.
Speaker 1: Maybe on the nose for me, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with I'm gonna probably flip a coin between Waiting for
Speaker 1: Guffman or Best in Show. Maybe lean towards Best in
Speaker 1: Show because of Jane Lynch, whom I love and whom
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to get in here. She's coming to Atlanta. Okay,
Speaker 1: Are they're doing a reboot of Glee or something? No,
Speaker 1: she does a Christmas a live Christmas shows singing with
Speaker 1: uh one of the actors from the office, the lady
Speaker 1: who played the drunk what's her name? You know, I
Speaker 1: don't remember. I know the character well, but I cannot
Speaker 1: remember the actions. Apparently she's a really good singer. And
Speaker 1: so they do this like song and dance Christmas show
Speaker 1: with another gentleman. So anyway, I just saw that yesterday's Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Where they doing that in Atlanta? They are at City Winery. Right, well,
Speaker 1: it's easy, yes, let's get them both. Alright, So guffmanner
Speaker 1: best and show Emily Blunt is my answer. And uh,
Speaker 1: that's it for this week. Everyone, I believe your homework
Speaker 1: this week. Let me check my handy dandy spreadsheet is uh,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it is. Eric Slick. Eric Slick is a drummer,
Speaker 1: another drummer for one of my favorite bands, Doctor Dog,
Speaker 1: Philly Philly's own Doctor Dog. Great great group. I've been
Speaker 1: with them from the beginning, since I was seeing those
Speaker 1: guys in tiny rooms with fifty people love that and
Speaker 1: now they're just they're playing the Tabernacle. Last time they
Speaker 1: came through, Eric came in, we sat down, we talked
Speaker 1: about the Big Lebowski. I just personal favorite, yeah, and
Speaker 1: Eric was had some deep knowledge on it, which was great.
Speaker 1: I went to the show that night, hung out backstage
Speaker 1: the guys a little bit nice living that life, nol.
Speaker 1: I love it, man, it's pretty great. My buddy Eddie
Speaker 1: went along as well, and uh we just had a good,
Speaker 1: good old time hanging out backstage with Dr Dog. They
Speaker 1: do a really great cover of this song Heart at
Speaker 1: Races by Architecture and Helsinki, Yeah, which is like a
Speaker 1: I think Australian band from like the early aughts that
Speaker 1: had a I know that band. Yeah yeah, the Dr
Speaker 1: Dog does a really good cover with that song. Alright,
Speaker 1: Well my advice is go see Dr Dog live. Everyone.
Speaker 1: They are good time in concert. All right, thanks everybody,
Speaker 1: and we will see you next week on the Mini
Speaker 1: Crush s
