Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday with Me,
Speaker 1: Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and he Noel Brown, Noel the
Speaker 1: christ Child Brown. Well bless me happily. Uh yeah, my
Speaker 1: middle name is Christian. In case I've never expressed that
Speaker 1: on the podcast before, I think I knew that W
Speaker 1: stands for devil boy. That that makes perfect sense. So
Speaker 1: we are the Yin and the Yang of the universe
Speaker 1: in one is. Some people call it the Yng and
Speaker 1: the with a zen and the zang. How are your holidays,
Speaker 1: my friend? In real time? This is the first recording
Speaker 1: for us for the New year. That's right. My holiday
Speaker 1: was great. I had a proper two weeks off. Uh
Speaker 1: it was you know. I hadn't taken a second of
Speaker 1: vacation all year, and I just you know, used it
Speaker 1: and one fell swoop at the end and I needed
Speaker 1: every second of it. Chuck, what did you do? I
Speaker 1: didn't do much. I I hung out with my my
Speaker 1: you know, my kid and her mom and our little
Speaker 1: extended family pod and the Christmas morning there and exchanged
Speaker 1: gifts and just kind of vegge. Man. I got last
Speaker 1: of us two. Yeah, where are you in that game?
Speaker 1: I don't know? Talking about the PlayStation game, Yes, sir, PlayStation,
Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't get a five. I'm not. I
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough boy this year. But I don't need it. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm not an early adopter with that stuff. I like
Speaker 1: to hear. I think the four it looks great, man, last,
Speaker 1: what do you need? I mean, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: Um it's it's I'll get it one one day. But why,
Speaker 1: I mean, this one works fine, Yeah, it's I think
Speaker 1: the thing that's maybe divisive is just that, like you're
Speaker 1: this isn't a spoiler. I don't think you're playing both sides. Literally, Um,
Speaker 1: you're you know, your main character and then you're this
Speaker 1: kind of side character who was basically your own nemesis,
Speaker 1: and it pits you against each other. But it's like
Speaker 1: emotionally complex because you're literally having to control the actions
Speaker 1: of two opposing forces. And I'm not far in at all,
Speaker 1: but I can already tell it's going to be a
Speaker 1: gut wrencher. Yeah, so maybe we should get Annie at
Speaker 1: some point and that um once maybe once you finish
Speaker 1: and the three of us will talk about it a
Speaker 1: little bit on a kind of a brief movie crusher
Speaker 1: game segment. Um, I will just sort of quickly say
Speaker 1: that I enjoyed it while I was playing it, because
Speaker 1: the gameplay is just as great. It looks amazing, it's
Speaker 1: still fun killing those goddamn zombie people. Uh, and it's
Speaker 1: fun and scary and awesome. Um, And then I'll just
Speaker 1: stop there and I'll say the rest of my review
Speaker 1: for when we do that. That sounds like a plan.
Speaker 1: I very I think we're both in the same page
Speaker 1: and loving the first one. And I agree that it
Speaker 1: took me a man. Because it's been a long time
Speaker 1: that play it. I kind of forgot. You really do
Speaker 1: have to be super sneaky otherwise you get got pretty quick.
Speaker 1: So you gotta sneak around. Brother, you gotta sneak around,
Speaker 1: and then you just stab those zombies right in the face. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's kind of tough too. And you're playing multiple games, uh,
Speaker 1: the different you know, keeping straight the movements and the
Speaker 1: buttons and uh, you know, jumping when you want to
Speaker 1: jump and crouch and when you want to crouch and
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. It's especially difficult if you play
Speaker 1: on two different systems. That have different button layouts. So
Speaker 1: I've been playing a lot of a lot of Switch
Speaker 1: and like where the X, like the bottom button in
Speaker 1: the row of you know, little triangle or diamond of
Speaker 1: buttons is sort of your main button on the switch.
Speaker 1: It's the one to the right. So sometimes I'll like
Speaker 1: forget what system I'm on and be hitting the robber
Speaker 1: button like a Looney tune. But don't they know that
Speaker 1: people consume a great deal with marijuana that play these games.
Speaker 1: I think they know that. I think them all the same. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you know the Japanese man, they're there. Well, no
Speaker 1: PlayStations Japanese too. What am I talking about? Nationality? Nothing
Speaker 1: to do with button layout? Um, just kind of one
Speaker 1: of those things has always been and I guess it's
Speaker 1: always kind of had the other layout. Maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: But love both systems And what else did I get?
Speaker 1: I got one other cool game? Um? Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just like I've been playing a lot of Super Smash
Speaker 1: Brothers online with with friends over the holidays, and uh,
Speaker 1: Mario Kart, love that love that stuff. How about you
Speaker 1: and what you have? You had a nice little chill
Speaker 1: family Christmas. It looked like with the kiddo, I did.
Speaker 1: I had three weeks, so I'm not gonna say off,
Speaker 1: I had three weeks off from stuff you should know,
Speaker 1: which is, uh, you know, obviously the line share of
Speaker 1: my job. Um still had to do stuff you should know,
Speaker 1: any kind of things, but I tried to check out
Speaker 1: as much as possible. It was good. I love my
Speaker 1: family and it's great to be with them always, so
Speaker 1: we had a good time. It was it was fine.
Speaker 1: My mom spent the night Christmas Eve. She's the only
Speaker 1: family I saw, um because we've been seeing her and um,
Speaker 1: you know, it hurts not to go see my brother
Speaker 1: and stuff, but it's just it's just not the thing
Speaker 1: to do right now for so we're gonna wait. Man,
Speaker 1: we're getting close. Yeah. I had to kind of win
Speaker 1: my mom over and not throwing her under the bus
Speaker 1: at all. I love her dearly, we're just you know,
Speaker 1: from a different generation, and like she really wanted to
Speaker 1: do a big family Christmas thing, and like it's not
Speaker 1: that she doesn't think that the virus is real. I
Speaker 1: just kind of had to be like, this isn't the
Speaker 1: year to do that. Let's wait till next year when
Speaker 1: it feels right and everyone can feel safe, and there's
Speaker 1: nobody that has any inkling of of questions whether it's
Speaker 1: okay or not. Um and she she agreed, and we
Speaker 1: we did do we we just kept it very small.
Speaker 1: I went and visited her briefly, um and and then
Speaker 1: came back. It was nice where these days. She's in Augusta,
Speaker 1: which is where I kind of grew up. I went
Speaker 1: to high school there and she still lives there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. What what kind of drive is that? Two hours?
Speaker 1: Two hours on the dot? Yep, nice, very nice, Noll.
Speaker 1: So we're back. There's a light at the end of
Speaker 1: the tunnel. Um. I do want to start off with
Speaker 1: a thread, I think, Uh, I don't want to it
Speaker 1: into everything, but I just do think that everyone could
Speaker 1: use some positivity these days for many, many reasons. And
Speaker 1: so I just asked the crushers, Knoll movie related or not,
Speaker 1: just what's one thing you're looking forward to And it
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to be like after COVID. Just what's
Speaker 1: one thing you want to do this year? What's one
Speaker 1: thing you want to accomplish or get done, Just anything
Speaker 1: that's gonna make your life a little rosier. I'll let
Speaker 1: you think on that and I'll read some of these
Speaker 1: Helen Lyons. One of our old friends says, this is
Speaker 1: really so insipid seeming, but I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: a manicure again. It's a little bit of self care
Speaker 1: that makes me feel way more put together than I
Speaker 1: really am, and somehow doing it myself just isn't the same.
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, Helen got a lot of including
Speaker 1: for myself, a lot of support for self care and
Speaker 1: that's not insipid to get a manicure or a massage
Speaker 1: or it's like you can't do that stuff. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very important to your well being. Actually got a pedicure
Speaker 1: over the holiday, uh with with the lady that I'm seeing.
Speaker 1: We went and got a couple's pedicure. Everyone's mask you know,
Speaker 1: and the pedicure places they were ahead of all of
Speaker 1: us with the masks because they do all the like
Speaker 1: nail painting, so they're always wearing masks. But they, you know,
Speaker 1: limited capacity. And we just went in and did that.
Speaker 1: And that's something I like to do for myself because
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a boogie boy in that respect.
Speaker 1: But it was you go to treat your feet. I
Speaker 1: do like that place. That's more for a foot and
Speaker 1: leg rub. This was like the thing where they kind
Speaker 1: of scraped the skin off your feet and then they
Speaker 1: like trim your nails and give you a leg rub
Speaker 1: and you have a footpath. It's very relaxing and you're
Speaker 1: in a massage chair the whole time. It's kind of delightful. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I like you, my friend, but I don't want to
Speaker 1: be near your feet. Hey, that that you don't have
Speaker 1: to have professionals for that. I hope you dipped well,
Speaker 1: of course, how dare you, Chuck? I have my eye,
Speaker 1: I take care of my feet. Well, sounds like it.
Speaker 1: Pata have it done, no doubt at least. Melissa Landry says,
Speaker 1: if we get to a place with COVID where I
Speaker 1: could hug my grandmother again, that would be an okay year.
Speaker 1: Oh god, heartstrings, but listen, heart strings. I just want
Speaker 1: to go see a concert. Yeah, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: you and I are going to be some concert going
Speaker 1: motherfucker's when this thing's over, everyone will It would be great.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. What's that gonna take that? Chuck, Because
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, people are gonna ge vaccinated and
Speaker 1: then some people aren't. So does its people that are
Speaker 1: vaccinated are safe from the people that aren't, right or no, Like,
Speaker 1: how do you see that playing out? If you get vaccinated,
Speaker 1: you are safe from getting COVID, but you can still
Speaker 1: transmit the coronavirus to someone else not vaccinated. So that's
Speaker 1: why they're like, you're still gonna have to wear your
Speaker 1: mask if you're like if you were in if you
Speaker 1: have a dinner party with eight people that are all
Speaker 1: vaccinated in your home, I reckon and you you're fully vaccinated,
Speaker 1: I reckon that you're good to go. Um, I would think, well,
Speaker 1: not really, because you could still pass the coronavirus to
Speaker 1: one of them, and they could then pass it to
Speaker 1: someone who's not vaccinated. Boy, just everyone get vaccinated, I
Speaker 1: think as far as concerts, and this is just a
Speaker 1: guess is they may get to a place where you
Speaker 1: have like a vaccination I D card or something they
Speaker 1: have to order to get into a place, like a
Speaker 1: Quicker credential or something like like a passport stamp. You know,
Speaker 1: I hope so, I hope so too. UM. I have
Speaker 1: a buddy who works for Columbia Medical UH in New York,
Speaker 1: and you know, they're all a lot of the healthcare
Speaker 1: workers are getting vaccinated first and he just got his
Speaker 1: first dose and said it it really hurt his arm. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the second dose supposed to make you real sick
Speaker 1: uh and then you're done and then you're good. I
Speaker 1: think it probably depends on who you are of I
Speaker 1: have quite a few friends who have gotten it now,
Speaker 1: which is great. And my mom is getting it Saturday. Great,
Speaker 1: that's gotta feel good. It does. It feels great, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm telling her, like, hey, Mom, this's being
Speaker 1: there and this means that you can still carry the
Speaker 1: virus and give it to other people. And but you know,
Speaker 1: the important thing is she'll be protected, which is great.
Speaker 1: All right. Let me go with Caitlin Callaghan, a top friend.
Speaker 1: She says, I had a top friend, top fan and friend.
Speaker 1: I had my son in October, and man, I'm just
Speaker 1: excited to watch him grow, Yesterra. He figured out he
Speaker 1: can hold things. Just watching his little world expand as beautiful. Oh, Caitlin,
Speaker 1: that's great and just sit around and watch that kid.
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Charles Martinaker is one of our oldest pals,
Speaker 1: being a healthier person and focusing on family and self
Speaker 1: improvement and then going on trips that they had to cancel.
Speaker 1: Of course, I think we all had to cancel stuff,
Speaker 1: So looking forward to rebooking that stuff. Lilian Rolf is
Speaker 1: going to Disney and July and just traveling. Her middle
Speaker 1: school kid has been through a lot. Our oldest is
Speaker 1: graduating from high school in May, and it's off the
Speaker 1: college in the fall. So our family is truly doing
Speaker 1: well all things considering. That's great to be positive like that.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite crushers, Mrs Daisy Christiana brew says,
Speaker 1: I a bray you. I know she's gonna laugh at that.
Speaker 1: I signed up for a writing workshop in hopes of
Speaker 1: kicking my practice back into gear once a week for
Speaker 1: four weeks with a writer whose work I enjoyed. A buyer,
Speaker 1: a little nervous, but excited and proud of myself for
Speaker 1: taking the time and space to do it. Daisy, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I love that self betterment. Take those classes, you know
Speaker 1: what's funny. I've always kind of toyed with the idea
Speaker 1: and been a little too scared taking improv classes. And
Speaker 1: Ben Bolan, who I do ridiculous history and stuff that
Speaker 1: I wants you to know with, has just taken in
Speaker 1: from when I first met him. He I would go
Speaker 1: to his like improv groups and stuff, and I always
Speaker 1: was really kind of an awe of those people. I love.
Speaker 1: You know, bad improv is awful and embarrassing, but when
Speaker 1: it's good, it's like watching a magic show. And I've
Speaker 1: been doing the podcast shows are terrible. What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? I love magic shows? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Who are you? Definitely like the Magic Castle?
Speaker 1: I like the Magic Castle. Well those are magic the best. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of magic, so to me that
Speaker 1: was a positive comparison. But yeah, so if I was
Speaker 1: going to do a thing like that, I would just
Speaker 1: you know, grow a pair and take some improv workshop
Speaker 1: classes here in Atlanta at Dad's garage. That would be
Speaker 1: something I would I think I should do, because we
Speaker 1: we do, we improve all the time. That's what podcast is,
Speaker 1: so I think I would probably not be awful at it.
Speaker 1: So a pair of pair of testicles. Mm hmm, I'm
Speaker 1: like a Kendall down there, chuck good lord, Oh boy.
Speaker 1: We finally gave in and uh not gave in, but
Speaker 1: my daughter finally became aware of Barbie and nothing you
Speaker 1: can do about that. Yeah, you know, we looked into
Speaker 1: it and uh, now they have career Barbies and uh,
Speaker 1: you know we have a farmer and a scientist and
Speaker 1: uh and what else. There's one other thing. The farmers
Speaker 1: are chicken farmer. Three Barbies. They're all career Barbies. Oh
Speaker 1: a chef. And they all lived together in a dream
Speaker 1: house and all dream house. Have you seen the show,
Speaker 1: the c g I Barbie show Life in the dream House?
Speaker 1: What then do you think? No? Why this gotta that's
Speaker 1: that's our that's our our first intro into the Barbie universe,
Speaker 1: the extended universe. No, and I think, uh, you know, barblies, Barblies,
Speaker 1: they they have been problematic for some people here and
Speaker 1: there in the past because of the shape, because of
Speaker 1: the hourglass shape. And then they did, they did for sure,
Speaker 1: but that was a big problem in the past because
Speaker 1: it was absolutely the most like quintessentially unattainable body. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. No, So we had mixed feelings,
Speaker 1: but um, she's got a level head. I think it'll
Speaker 1: be fine. Megan Carroll one of our oldest friends, Megan
Speaker 1: in that cat and that picture beautiful. We've we're already
Speaker 1: planning a camping trip of the Spring and a pilgrimage
Speaker 1: to the Rieman to see one of our favorite bands
Speaker 1: in September. O Megan, I've never been to the Rieman.
Speaker 1: I want to go. What band is that? Write me
Speaker 1: and tell me Barry in the lead there. I have
Speaker 1: been to the Rheman or the Grand Ole. I went
Speaker 1: there when I was a little kid. I certainly don't
Speaker 1: remember it, but I want to go to the Rheman.
Speaker 1: It's on the list, and I think, Uh, I think
Speaker 1: I got a stuff you should know connection at the
Speaker 1: Rhyman if I'm not mistaken. Who can give me a
Speaker 1: little backstage action? Oh? Yeah, I love a good backstage action. Um,
Speaker 1: have you been to Robert's Western World in Nashville, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. It's like a it's an
Speaker 1: old honky tonk. It's right there on the strip. I
Speaker 1: guess it's Broadway, and uh, it's like you just go
Speaker 1: in and there's like it's sort of like a like
Speaker 1: a divy type place. There's no cover. They just pass
Speaker 1: a hat for donations for the band, and it's like
Speaker 1: these old grizzled session guys. It looked like they can
Speaker 1: like you know, with like meth Mouth, you know, playing
Speaker 1: like they play their ass off. Dude. They're wearing these
Speaker 1: like red like neck kerchiefs and big ten gallon hats
Speaker 1: and and there's a fiddler and there's like a pedal
Speaker 1: steel player and the singer just belts him out like
Speaker 1: it's like yodels, and I mean, it's just you gotta
Speaker 1: do that's I want to do that after COVID. It's
Speaker 1: so it's so it's an absolute joy, and people are
Speaker 1: just like there's crust punks and like old people and
Speaker 1: like you know, people in ten gallon hats all kind
Speaker 1: of line dancing on the floor. It's just an absolute
Speaker 1: hooting nanny. It's a real hooting nanny. Chuck, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go no. That sounds amazing because my one other great
Speaker 1: experience was something like that, was going to the Broken
Speaker 1: Spoke in Austin, Texas, and it is an old school
Speaker 1: honky tonk with those same dudes that all worship at
Speaker 1: the altar of Conway Twitty, and uh, the one thing
Speaker 1: I really wanted to do was get out there and dance.
Speaker 1: And I just I was frankly scared and intimidated because
Speaker 1: people really know what they're doing out there. On that
Speaker 1: dance floor with that country dancing, and I just didn't
Speaker 1: do it. It was fucking frightened, but I wanted to.
Speaker 1: I was very dance jealous that day. Totally. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: I like to dance, but that kind of country dancing
Speaker 1: it's so specific. Like I can do like some kind
Speaker 1: of like you know whatever general as you know, scooting around,
Speaker 1: but like that Nashville style of dancing is absolutely you
Speaker 1: gotta know the moves and the steps. Yeah, it's intimidating
Speaker 1: generalized scooting around. I love it. Shake your arsenal. I
Speaker 1: dance a lot in the house. Emily was like, why
Speaker 1: don't you ever dance out in public? Because you can
Speaker 1: do it. Tracy Fox says, really hoping for a vacation. Uh,
Speaker 1: We're going to try and go to Jamaica. But international
Speaker 1: travel still makes me a little nervous. But I'm doing
Speaker 1: some research for an early fall trip. Denver, Destin, Seattle, Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Those are all great cities, Tracy, and Uh,
Speaker 1: and you can't go wrong with any of them. They're
Speaker 1: all marijuana legal cities except for Destin. So I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what you're hinting at. I'm just kidding. Daniel McCoy says,
Speaker 1: my brother and his family moved to London early last year,
Speaker 1: and I was supposed to visit them in April, hoping
Speaker 1: we'll get to see my brother and sister in law
Speaker 1: and get to play with the little monkeys disguised as
Speaker 1: my niece and nephews. I love that. I love little
Speaker 1: monkey nieces and nephews. Although I don't have an either
Speaker 1: all grown noal, I don't have a lot of like
Speaker 1: extended family and that respect. I have a cousin who
Speaker 1: lives here in Atlanta that I haven't seen in ten years.
Speaker 1: I definitely uh don't see my dozins. Don't feel bad enough.
Speaker 1: I have a niece Shelby, who was like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: what is Shelby? Twenties six or seven? My niece Reagan
Speaker 1: and New York, who's wonderful is and then my nephew Noah,
Speaker 1: my brother's son is getting married in May. Uh and

Speaker 1: has lived in uh in the fourteen years my husband
Speaker 1: has lived in the US. They were supposed to be
Speaker 1: here for the birth of my son, but that couldn't
Speaker 1: happen because of the pandemic. Well, Anna, that sucks, and
Speaker 1: I really really hope that happens for you all. Rob
Speaker 1: Riel says, really missed going to the movies. We had
Speaker 1: a regal pass my wife and I and we were
Speaker 1: able to watch a ton of movies a year ago.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to do that again, for sure. This is
Speaker 1: a movie podcast, after all, so we all want to

Speaker 1: been invited to a listener wedding. Josh and I get
Speaker 1: him a lot. That's nice. Then we always signed the
Speaker 1: card and send it back with regrets. But one of
Speaker 1: these days I might just fucking drop in on someone's way.
Speaker 1: Wings are fun, all of especially after COVID, Like that'll
Speaker 1: be just like an absolute breath of fresh air, you know,
Speaker 1: with all the buffet stuff and like the booze free
Speaker 1: booze and the maybe you know you're married. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, maybe I'll get laid but um, that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's late. If you're married. Well, I know you can chuck,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it wouldn't be advisable. H Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to sneeze on a buffet, can't wait
Speaker 1: out We're without worrying about getting someone sick. Yeah, exactly, great,
Speaker 1: uh knocking wood Knoll two cod aside Um. Partially it's
Speaker 1: because of that. I haven't been sick. But the year previous,
Speaker 1: I guess, twenty nineteen, I didn't get sick. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm working on my third year here of not even
Speaker 1: having so much as a cold. Like I usually get
Speaker 1: bronchitis once a year and the stomach fly really bad
Speaker 1: once a year. But twenty nineteen I was living, right,
Speaker 1: I guess. Well, I think I told you that I
Speaker 1: tested positive for the antibody and the only time. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: well I did, but listen, I was in New York
Speaker 1: in in March, like when the ship hit the fan,
Speaker 1: like right when everything, and I was at a conference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I was at this like on on on air
Speaker 1: conference and it was like there was an email that
Speaker 1: came through two weeks later, like Ira Glass was there,
Speaker 1: like Michael Barbarrow was there, all these like big NPR
Speaker 1: and podcast people were there. What's his name black thought
Speaker 1: from the roots UM and um tulib quality And the
Speaker 1: email came through from the organizers two weeks later that
Speaker 1: there had been multiple exposures there and that people and
Speaker 1: then so I and that and I was sick. I
Speaker 1: was already sick with that yearly bronchitis you're talking about,
Speaker 1: So I didn't think anything of it, but I didn't
Speaker 1: have so much as a sniffle the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: And then I tested, you know, just wouldn't got blood work,
Speaker 1: and they ran that test and they said I had it,
Speaker 1: and you can have the anybody's last as long as
Speaker 1: a year. They don't really know how long they stick around.
Speaker 1: So that's the only exposure event that I've had, and
Speaker 1: that had to have been at UM. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: you tested for antibodies recently, it was like maybe like
Speaker 1: three months ago. Wow. Yeah, all right, let's finish up
Speaker 1: with Brandy McDonald. How about this being back in church.
Speaker 1: I direct our children's ministry program and really miss working
Speaker 1: with the kids directly. I'm glad that our church is
Speaker 1: chosen to be virtual to keep our community safe, but
Speaker 1: I can't wait until we are able to be together again. Brandy,
Speaker 1: that's great. I love it. I know, Uh, church is
Speaker 1: important to a lot of people, and having to give
Speaker 1: up that community has been hard for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: So I hope you get to get back to it soon.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful for sure. All Right, nol, We're gonna move
Speaker 1: on to a crusher post. This is from Joel kron
Speaker 1: k r a h N. And he asked this question,
Speaker 1: Noel that I thought was really good. What is the
Speaker 1: most obscure movie you've ever seen? Like? Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen anything? You would bet money nobody else is seen
Speaker 1: in this group? Can you think of I feel like
Speaker 1: you have some pretty obscure taste. I do. I suppose
Speaker 1: let me let me hear if you I'm crack my brain. Uh.
Speaker 1: Tad Fouch says branded and it sucked? Branded? Is that
Speaker 1: a Western? Sounds like it must be an It sounds
Speaker 1: like it could be Karen slumphughs Wan of World Friends
Speaker 1: says old boy. But I know you guys have seen it,
Speaker 1: all right, And guess the question is most obscured movie
Speaker 1: you've seen? It doesn't necessarily mean it's obscured everyone, but
Speaker 1: it's obscure to Karen. Yeah, I wouldn't. I would argue
Speaker 1: that Old Boys one of the most mainstream Korean Well
Speaker 1: that's not I don't know, like the cur ship man
Speaker 1: of Korean director just won the fucking Oscar last year,
Speaker 1: so I think that certainly not as niche as it
Speaker 1: maybe once was. But when Old Boy came out, it
Speaker 1: certainly was like under the radar, but it got caught on.
Speaker 1: I mean, Spike Lee remade it, which I think is
Speaker 1: ridiculous because what are people afraid to read a subtitle
Speaker 1: or two? That's true, that is true, nol. But you know,
Speaker 1: like we said, that's uh, that's Karen's take, so obscure
Speaker 1: to horror to horror, horror obscure, So that's so relative.
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time with that. Like you know,
Speaker 1: I I we famously infamously when I did the list
Speaker 1: game with you, I listed a bunch of kind of
Speaker 1: movies and they weren't obscure to me. But I guess
Speaker 1: to know whether something's obscure or now, you kind of
Speaker 1: have to compare it to like other people knowledge, you know,
Speaker 1: So I don't know, maybe a movie objective, like you know,
Speaker 1: probably some weird niche Asian film, like, uh, like, well,
Speaker 1: I think this is actually one that you had seen
Speaker 1: that Tetsuo the Iron Man. You said you saw that
Speaker 1: in college, So that is pretty obscared. I would say
Speaker 1: that's pretty scared. Yeah, I agreed. Sophie Fowler says, the
Speaker 1: Wizard of Speed and Time never heard of it. Never
Speaker 1: heard of it in the cover looks great. It looks
Speaker 1: like fucking Josh was Shelley Long. Google that real quick
Speaker 1: and tell poster. Look up the poster. I don't even
Speaker 1: know who it is, but the points like a deranged
Speaker 1: Josh in a wizard outfit. Oh my god, it so does,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. It so does a little bit. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love this poster though. It makes me. It makes me.
Speaker 1: It gives me real like Phantom of the Paradise vibes
Speaker 1: like that kind of like schlocky sci fi, weirdo Hollywood
Speaker 1: type thing. Yeah, for sure it has a good soundtrack
Speaker 1: because I'm seeing it on vinyl on discogs. Very nice.
Speaker 1: You know about forty records over Christmas? I probably did too,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I told you. What I've
Speaker 1: been doing is I've been making a lot of music
Speaker 1: and I've been sampling a lot from weird talking about obscure.
Speaker 1: I go to thrift stores and just dig through the
Speaker 1: you know, dollar record binds, and I've been buying all
Speaker 1: these like weird, niche Christian country records from like the
Speaker 1: seventies that are all very regional because clearly someone dies
Speaker 1: and then they sell their whole collection to like goodwill
Speaker 1: or give it to them, and so they'll be like,
Speaker 1: you know, all you've probably seen these. They're always this
Speaker 1: family bands, and they're always wearing the same identical suits,
Speaker 1: and the women all have the same identical kind of
Speaker 1: beehive haircut, and they're really high production value obviously, record
Speaker 1: them in really nice studios and great singing and just
Speaker 1: kind of gospel e. But then I've also been getting
Speaker 1: a lot of like sound effects records, like children's records,
Speaker 1: Like I got a really cool Alice in Wonderland audiobook
Speaker 1: from like the seventies, and sample it, get an idea,
Speaker 1: make a little loop, and then build something around. It's
Speaker 1: in a really fun way to get inspiration for for
Speaker 1: making music. I love it. Look at you, Reggie Watts
Speaker 1: hit me. Hayley q Levin says Margie. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite gene Crane movies. Never heard of it, sounds obscure.
Speaker 1: Jason Wallace, James Baker. Welcome to the show, Jason Wallace,
Speaker 1: James Baker. After struggling through The Master and Margarita by
Speaker 1: Bolga Coff, I watched the film version in my university library.
Speaker 1: The large screen TV opened to people passing by as
Speaker 1: I watched full frontal nudity and cats turning into people,
Speaker 1: very low budget. I was even more confused than when
Speaker 1: reading the book. I've never heard of that people are
Speaker 1: talking about. No, no, I started cats turning into people?
Speaker 1: What's the name of the movie? Master and Margharita? What
Speaker 1: the hell? What a name for a movie about cats
Speaker 1: turning into people and full ferntal nudity? That is? That
Speaker 1: sounds great? Uh? Kirsten Talker says, possibly Farnelli. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know this movie. It's about the Castrato singer. She said,
Speaker 1: watched by myself in the Chanel Theater, UNI, Queensland. Four
Speaker 1: dollar student ticket. I remember remember Farrannelly. Never heard of it.
Speaker 1: These are all very much under or over my radar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Christopher clearly says, uh. Zerom an old nineties
Speaker 1: Japanese sci fi action horror film. Sounds like stright here, Aliol,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, I don't know that either. I'm writing
Speaker 1: all these down. By the way, these all sound fun
Speaker 1: z R z E I R A M zerom. I
Speaker 1: can tell just from there. I know that word. Old
Speaker 1: friend David Barlow says The Castle. It's Australian. I know that,
Speaker 1: And that's actually on Netflix. It's a fantasy sword and
Speaker 1: sorcery type deal, I believe. Okay, apparently see Lorimer chimed
Speaker 1: in and said that it's a classic in Australia. I
Speaker 1: love that. Let me see here. Oh no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: never mind, it's not I'm thinking of something else. It.
Speaker 1: It looks like a comedy of some sort called The Castle. Um.
Speaker 1: It says it's this year's Full Monty. What year was that?
Speaker 1: Remember the Full Monty? Chuck? That was a fun movie. Um.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which and music kind of related movies. Last night,
Speaker 1: I watched head Vig for the first time in probably
Speaker 1: a decade last night with my with my lady friend
Speaker 1: and it held up and John Cameron Mitchell, you know,
Speaker 1: friend of the show. He had texted me he's really
Speaker 1: you know, politically active, and he texted me like a
Speaker 1: two in the morning the night of the runoff, saying
Speaker 1: like you good job, go Georgia or whatever you know,
Speaker 1: and um, and then I texted him back the next day.
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard anything. And then right as we were
Speaker 1: watching this movie and she'd never seen it, we kind
Speaker 1: of like we're just like in the throes of like
Speaker 1: excited about this movie. And then he text me back
Speaker 1: and then I was I was leading out a few whiskeys,
Speaker 1: and I was like, can I call you really quick? John?
Speaker 1: I just need to hear your voice. And we chatted
Speaker 1: for a minute. And he's in l A right now
Speaker 1: working on some stuff. But he's just the sweetest man.
Speaker 1: I just absolutely adore that guy and just so talented
Speaker 1: and lovely. That's great when you called him and he
Speaker 1: go six and just follow and just exactly now he
Speaker 1: did not, But that is my ring tone? Is it really? No?
Speaker 1: But it would be a good one? Uh tany boyd
Speaker 1: says Babes and toy Land the nine one version, although
Speaker 1: knowing this group maybe not so obscure the danger of
Speaker 1: and Gail Kant says, I would normally say yes, but
Speaker 1: in this group, nah, she's not even trying. That's lazy Gail,
Speaker 1: just lazy. You know what she did? She and her
Speaker 1: husband sent me a home alone to Christmas doves. Oh
Speaker 1: that was that's the one you got from the Duncan's
Speaker 1: toy chest. That's right. It was a very very sweet gift.
Speaker 1: And she then heard the episode after she sent it.
Speaker 1: When I talked about how much I hated the movie
Speaker 1: and felt bad about her, then I said, kunts, that
Speaker 1: makes the gift better. It makes it funny and fun
Speaker 1: Now when I look at that bird on my tree,
Speaker 1: how much I hate that movie. I thought it genuinely
Speaker 1: made it like a more fun gift. So sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it. Uh and we got a shout
Speaker 1: out Aaron Cooper to coop Um usually sends us uh
Speaker 1: print outs large sort of FuMB core print outs of
Speaker 1: the great photoshops that he does of us, and those
Speaker 1: are great, but this year, because of I think shipping
Speaker 1: large things, he opted to put together a hard bound
Speaker 1: book that looks identically like our stuff you should note
Speaker 1: book and looks like a real book of the photoshops
Speaker 1: that he did for us this year, and it's amazing
Speaker 1: and cool looking. I'll post a picture of it along
Speaker 1: with a last Chance garage magnet and a Jaws magnet
Speaker 1: and uh it it made me tear up. It was
Speaker 1: so great that Coop has been such a good friend
Speaker 1: all these years, and uh that he is so talented
Speaker 1: and took the time to put the thing out. I
Speaker 1: need to send you a picture of it and all.
Speaker 1: It's really really something else. I can't wait to see it.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of really sweet messages on Instagram
Speaker 1: over the holiday. Um gosh, I'm so bad at like
Speaker 1: just thinking of these on the spot and not remembering names.
Speaker 1: But it was a listener who was just saying, how
Speaker 1: like they appreciated my like honesty about my you know,
Speaker 1: divorce situation and like my my kid and all that
Speaker 1: and and I'm sure you get to like that too,
Speaker 1: because I think what I love about this show is
Speaker 1: I am able to be open in a way that
Speaker 1: I maybe would not be on like stuff they don't
Speaker 1: want you to know because it's much more like not
Speaker 1: that we're not fact driven, but that shows just there's
Speaker 1: three of us, first of all, and we don't ever
Speaker 1: want to make it like a Mimi situation. And it's
Speaker 1: when we get personal here, we get personal. And I
Speaker 1: think that's part of why the community is so uh
Speaker 1: so great, because they I don't know if when I
Speaker 1: hear from people telling me that it's it's as meaningful
Speaker 1: to me as I think the show is to them.
Speaker 1: And I know that sounds like a platitude, but it
Speaker 1: really is the truth. Yeah, I think it's. I used
Speaker 1: to get emails a lot when I talked about being
Speaker 1: a late bedwinter on stuff you should know, from a
Speaker 1: lot of parents who said there to their kids. Really, um,
Speaker 1: it really helped to hear that, like someone they look
Speaker 1: up to was like, I was a late bedwinter. What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Uh? And that made me feel
Speaker 1: really good. I can't help it, you know, totally. I
Speaker 1: went to bed till I was like eleven. That's yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I did till I was not every night,
Speaker 1: but no, no, no, but I did till I was
Speaker 1: probably about nine or ten. Oh well, you were late
Speaker 1: bedwinter too, alright, bed laid bedwetters unite. That's right. We
Speaker 1: should sleep together and be on each other. Also, one
Speaker 1: time that I used to sleep walk when I was younger.
Speaker 1: At one time I slept walked into my dad's room
Speaker 1: and Pete in his bedside table drawer. Take that, dad. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's different than the I've never done this, but I've
Speaker 1: had heard stories and had friends that that middle of
Speaker 1: the night drunk and you get up and you like
Speaker 1: puke in the claws said because he think it's a bathroom.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that exact. Not not a good look, no, Sirry.
Speaker 1: Jason Furber says, Once We're Warriors, great movie. Not sure
Speaker 1: how obscure it is, Jason. You know, I think to
Speaker 1: a certain demographic it's fairly obscure. I saw it um
Speaker 1: and it was if you're from New Zealand obviously, and
Speaker 1: even Australia. I think it's not obscure, but it's not.
Speaker 1: It wasn't mainstream. Let me see here. Once We're Warriors,
Speaker 1: great movie. Nolar Diane about the Maori people, modern day
Speaker 1: Maori and modern day for whenever that was, which was?
Speaker 1: I feel like it was like early nineties, mid nineties.
Speaker 1: Diana Merrill says, how about Mirror Mask? Has anyone else
Speaker 1: seen this creepy new game in film? Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's not good. I wanted it to be so good
Speaker 1: because it's it's actually not Neil game in either. It's
Speaker 1: um Dave McKean, who did the cover art for all
Speaker 1: the Sandman comics, or for at least the graphic novel collections,
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure for the individual issues too. But
Speaker 1: he does this really cool kind of collagi combination of
Speaker 1: like would and actual photo stuff and then also illustration.
Speaker 1: But this movie it was sort of like a I
Speaker 1: don't know, through the looking Glass kind of Alice in
Speaker 1: wonderlanding type adventure, a little labyrinthy, but it just had
Speaker 1: all this really bad, funky look in c g I.
Speaker 1: And I just couldn't get over that, and it it
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't know something that I wanted
Speaker 1: to like it so much because I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of his work, but narratively and and also with the visuals,
Speaker 1: it really struggled. And it's so weird because he's such
Speaker 1: a visceral artist in his like two D work that
Speaker 1: I was surprised he decided to go so uh like
Speaker 1: Uncanny Valley c g I. It was very strange, but
Speaker 1: I have seen it and I wanted to like it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll give another shot, but I remember not liking it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Noel written by Neil Gaiman, so
Speaker 1: it was written by. Okay, I thought for some reason,
Speaker 1: I didn't think. I didn't think he he had written it.
Speaker 1: That's that that makes sense. Great, everyone stop emailing us
Speaker 1: on air. Car Actions, it's happening. Peter, come Comerford, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Peter, don't think I know you, says.
Speaker 1: Kitchen Stories wonderful, little charming, quirky foreign film. I like
Speaker 1: kitchens and I like stories. Old friend Caroline Gaston says,
Speaker 1: I don't know how obscure it is, but it's hard
Speaker 1: to find and definitely weird songs from the second floor. Okay,
Speaker 1: I never heard of it, have not. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: call it obscure then. Uh, Carly Pato van ni petit says,
Speaker 1: or pettit says, p M s cop hilariously horrible horror.
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds interesting. Uh. Jennifer Lewis has the documentaries
Speaker 1: count Well? Sure, I just watched Titty Cut Follies today.
Speaker 1: It's about conditions and a facility for the criminally insane
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts around seven TCM just premiered in and it
Speaker 1: was practically banned for twenty years. Yeah, that's one that
Speaker 1: Casey Pegram talked about on a recent episode. He maybe
Speaker 1: not No, it might not have been on movie cars,
Speaker 1: might have been a ridiculous history. But I can't remember
Speaker 1: his name, but it's a filmmaker who is known for
Speaker 1: doing these really deep dives into very specific kind of worlds,
Speaker 1: like he just came yeah, Wiseman, he just came out
Speaker 1: with one that did really well. It's very very long,
Speaker 1: and it's about like local like like government, like state
Speaker 1: government or something like somebody that sounds really boring on paper,
Speaker 1: but like it actually it's supposed to be fantastic. It's
Speaker 1: called city Hall. I'm not mistaken. M This titny cup
Speaker 1: always seems really interesting and does not look super fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Casey mentioned that one is his like seminal work. Really interesting. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's go a few through a few more of these.
Speaker 1: Ellen Da The Thief of Thief of Bagdad nineteen forty version,
Speaker 1: Pam guys Are says thou wast mild and lovely. I
Speaker 1: saw it at Two Stars Film Festival in Denver and
Speaker 1: it was weird. Stacy Ellsworth has zero patients. A movie
Speaker 1: about a movie musical about AIDS. I never heard of that. Nope.
Speaker 1: Charles Martin nakers our old. This Palace is the crows
Speaker 1: have eyes. I haven't heard of that. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of obscure stuff in here. Howdy Allowman says The Vertical
Speaker 1: Ray of the Sun my absolute favorite film. Vertical Ray
Speaker 1: of the Sun. Do you do not even bother spelling
Speaker 1: things right anymore? Because you know it'll on your phone,
Speaker 1: it'll find what you did. I try. I didn't have
Speaker 1: a really clunky keyboard. Um, it's like from the nineties
Speaker 1: or something, and it's like terrible and it doesn't have
Speaker 1: a good actions, so I often accidentally have the wrong key.
Speaker 1: So I do depend on instant to help me out
Speaker 1: with that. Sure. By the way, when I asked Joel
Speaker 1: if I could use this, he went hell yeah. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad this is makes you happy, Joel. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll do one more. Um, let me see. John B.
Speaker 1: McCarty says a guire The Wrath of God, a German
Speaker 1: film about a Spanish conquistare in Peru. What happens by
Speaker 1: our boy Werner. It's a Werner and it's stars it
Speaker 1: stars Kinsky, and he plays like a conquistador who ventures
Speaker 1: into the Peru. He said. He says he went to know.
Speaker 1: He went to Peru to the heart of darkness to
Speaker 1: find his inner something. I don't. I should have thought
Speaker 1: this sounds better before. But they have very good wine
Speaker 1: and Oregon meat. And I remember at the end of
Speaker 1: the film he's on the rafts with a monkey on
Speaker 1: his shoulder. That's that's your one great invitation. I love it.
Speaker 1: I got a I got a million of them. Man,
Speaker 1: you do one more? Who's your next? Best? No? I don't,
Speaker 1: I'm not a monkey. Him was Uber Dance. I can,
Speaker 1: I can, I can do meat wide from Aquitine hunger
Speaker 1: for us pretty well? No, And Dave Willis is a friend.
Speaker 1: You know you better nail this us little monk rob Uh,
Speaker 1: what's out Homers? Where's my run on crewel wrung crew? Come?
Speaker 1: It's pretty fucking good, Nolan. I've got to say that
Speaker 1: really surprised me. It was weird seeing that voice coming
Speaker 1: out of your face. You know, well done. All right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap that one up and spanking on the
Speaker 1: bottom and uh, we're leaving that up. Everyone that's on
Speaker 1: the Crushers page. You can just words search Obscure from
Speaker 1: the January third post if you want to. If you
Speaker 1: want to get a nice list, go on of Obscure
Speaker 1: movies that you want to check out, and no, let's
Speaker 1: finish up with a little stream this. I saw a
Speaker 1: couple of movies lately that I want to recommend that
Speaker 1: I did post on the page what it's called. First Cow.
Speaker 1: Oh God, that's what I want to see. Made so
Speaker 1: many year lists. Was it wonderful? It's wonderful, It's really great.
Speaker 1: It is directed by Kelly Reichert, and she has put
Speaker 1: together quite a career making these very small independent films
Speaker 1: that are great, which I think we both love. Old
Speaker 1: Joy fantastic. I think that was our first one with
Speaker 1: with will Oldham. But First Cow is awesome. It is
Speaker 1: very she She also makes these very realistic period pieces
Speaker 1: that don't feel like movies, and First Cow was awesome.
Speaker 1: It's very heartwarming, and it's a very sort of slow,
Speaker 1: very subtle story, and it's just it's a movie like
Speaker 1: two days later, you're like, well, am I still thinking
Speaker 1: about this movie? One of those uh? And I also
Speaker 1: watched uh. Emily and I watched all of this stuff together.
Speaker 1: Um Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which was one
Speaker 1: of the best movies I've seen in years. It was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a that's a singing uh praise there.
Speaker 1: I have to check that out. I've heard the name
Speaker 1: and I love it, um, but I have not seen
Speaker 1: it and I only had fantastic. Yeah. Cool, don't tell
Speaker 1: me anything. I can't wait to tell you. Don't have
Speaker 1: to know anything from twenty nineteen. I think maybe in
Speaker 1: the States and might be wrong, but from filmmaker Selene
Speaker 1: uh Siama and I'm sure I probably mispronounced that, but
Speaker 1: it's a French film subtitled and great, great great. Um.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch that I found out about at the
Speaker 1: end of the year. There's a really great podcast called
Speaker 1: film Spotting. If you haven't checked out, I highly recommend
Speaker 1: it's uh some critics from Chicago. One of them I
Speaker 1: think works for the Tribune and one of them works
Speaker 1: for the other Chicago papers at the Sun Times. UM. Anyway,
Speaker 1: really really smart. They did really good like multifaceted lists
Speaker 1: around different like categories, and they all do really cool
Speaker 1: year end lists with like some of their colleagues. And
Speaker 1: first Cow made the list a lot and one a
Speaker 1: series of films by a filmmaker that I love but
Speaker 1: need to spend more time with Steve McQueen. UM. He
Speaker 1: came out this year with like five film elms, three
Speaker 1: of which I think are short on the short side.
Speaker 1: But he calls it the Small Acts series or something
Speaker 1: like that. When one of them is called Mangrove, which
Speaker 1: is the one that seemed to like they kind of
Speaker 1: broke them out because they're all different. That seemed to
Speaker 1: make a lot of people's top five. And then Lovers Rock, Red,
Speaker 1: White and Blue, Alex Wheedle and Education. Uh. And he
Speaker 1: did it for the BBC And they all have different
Speaker 1: writers and they're all surrounding. Um A story stories around
Speaker 1: the West Indian immigrant communities in London in the sixties
Speaker 1: and seventies. UM. And Steve McQueen, famous obviously for winning
Speaker 1: all the Oscars for Twelve Years of Slave. And also
Speaker 1: you know, he made a couple of movies with Shame.
Speaker 1: He did Shame, Yeah, he did Shame with Fossend. He
Speaker 1: did another one with Fossbender two Hunger. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: one where he's one of the ones where he was
Speaker 1: really ashamed. The were the ones, the one where he's
Speaker 1: really hungry. UM. If I'm not mistaken, Sorry that was
Speaker 1: so dry that it sounds like I was being serious. Um,
Speaker 1: But Yeah. I love Steve McQueen. Loved the fact that
Speaker 1: he kept the name Steve McQueen is his professional name. Uh,
Speaker 1: being such a unique with his Hollywood name. And then
Speaker 1: you know, now he's the other Steve McQueen. But I
Speaker 1: really want to see that one that I saw, and
Speaker 1: then I just adore his soul. The new Pixar movie. Uh,
Speaker 1: it made me feel Oh my god, Chuck, it made
Speaker 1: me feel. You know, all those movies are like, you know,
Speaker 1: like designed you know, from the ground up to make
Speaker 1: you feel all the fields. But this one rang particularly
Speaker 1: strong with me because it's about passion and music. It's
Speaker 1: about your life taking a slightly different path than maybe
Speaker 1: you expected. You know, I wanted to be a rock
Speaker 1: star or be like a professional musician. That didn't happen. Um,
Speaker 1: not that I can't still make music and put stuff
Speaker 1: out and have a good time with it, but I
Speaker 1: ended up finding my way to a career where I
Speaker 1: can't actually reach people and and touch people and connect
Speaker 1: with people. And that's really meaningful to me, and I
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting that. Um. This movie is about a similar
Speaker 1: kind of thing where it's like you think your head
Speaker 1: in the one direction and that's your purpose, and then
Speaker 1: you realize all along you were meant for this other thing,
Speaker 1: or there really are no rules, and it's also just
Speaker 1: really trippy and beautiful. Trent Resident and Atticus Ross have
Speaker 1: been killing it, by the way scores and they're also different,
Speaker 1: and then Storry. Last one is MANC the new David
Speaker 1: Fincher movie. Oh my god, that's what happened, my friend.
Speaker 1: It is if you're which I know you are a
Speaker 1: student and a lover of old Hollywood and just all
Speaker 1: the names that you've heard, like Irving, Jay Thalberg and
Speaker 1: like you know, all these like you know producers that
Speaker 1: like you know, made the movies that you know made
Speaker 1: history basically like Wizard of Oz and uh, all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Big, huge, like nostalgia blast, but also
Speaker 1: funny and beautifully shot. It looks just like an old
Speaker 1: movie from like the fifties or sixties no more, only
Speaker 1: forties or fifties. And the writing is spot on. Gary
Speaker 1: Oldman as always just slays it and uh, what's your
Speaker 1: name from Big Love? Um? Amanda Seyfried or Cy Freed
Speaker 1: is absolute just gorgeous, quirky, funny, witty and just like
Speaker 1: absolutely classic. Just got the goods and this movie has
Speaker 1: got the goods. And this is probably easily in my
Speaker 1: top three for the year. Yeah, I h that was
Speaker 1: really high on my list and I forgot about it.
Speaker 1: You know how that happens. It does happen a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff out there. I need to keep an actual list. Um.
Speaker 1: I winded up with a TV wreck. There's a show
Speaker 1: called Ted Latzo on Apple that is stars Jason Sadekis.
Speaker 1: It's a character he originated for promo spots for the
Speaker 1: British Premier Football League, the soccer league where he is.
Speaker 1: This The premise of the show is he is a
Speaker 1: American football coach, kind of a country guy from Kansas
Speaker 1: that gets hired to go to London and coach a
Speaker 1: Premier League soccer team. Uh. If you've ever seen the
Speaker 1: baseball movie Major League, it's a bit of a play
Speaker 1: on that and that. Um, the lady who hires on
Speaker 1: the team owner wants the team to fail. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of all I'll get into, but it is. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some movie crushers recommended it as something light and fun
Speaker 1: and heartwarming. I didn't know what to expect. Not the
Speaker 1: biggest soccer fan, Emily couldn't care less about soccer. We
Speaker 1: both like Sadakis well enough, but it's not like we're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's got Jason Sidekis, we gotta see it.
Speaker 1: We're just like sort of down lately for a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons and wanted something that filled us up. And
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso is fucking great. Thirty minute episodes, ten episodes.
Speaker 1: We watched it in a week. It is funny, it
Speaker 1: is heartwarming, it is charming, and just a wonderful show
Speaker 1: with a lot of heart. Really really caught us off guard. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I loved every bit of it. It was really
Speaker 1: really great. So highly recommend Ted Lasso. Uh. It looks
Speaker 1: and sounds like they're set up for a three season run.
Speaker 1: Uh story wise, and uh, I just just can't wait. Um.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where like it finished and
Speaker 1: we were immediately like shit, like I want I want
Speaker 1: to watch it again, not that I want to watch
Speaker 1: season two. Like there's something to be said for waiting
Speaker 1: for something to be done so you can fully satisfy
Speaker 1: yourself instead of having to wait however many years, because
Speaker 1: the same thing happened with with The Great that show
Speaker 1: I was talking about about Castine The Great It ended in,
Speaker 1: you know, because of COVID, like it's in in the
Speaker 1: production schedule, it might be too goddamn years before that
Speaker 1: season two comes out. That's a big old production right
Speaker 1: at any period piece like that. Yeah, I mean maybe
Speaker 1: they can push it out this year, but I would
Speaker 1: be very surprised. But yeah, the Great and Ted Lasso
Speaker 1: great shows. Well, I've got some stuff to add to
Speaker 1: my list, secure stuff, nice TV pick. They're um really
Speaker 1: excited to see first cow um. Great to be back man.
Speaker 1: Uh seeing you in a new year of crushing. Absolutely so.
Speaker 1: UH had to bean he's off to you and uh
Speaker 1: being he's off to everyone out there. I was about
Speaker 1: to doff my hat to you, and then I realized
Speaker 1: you were referring to the fact that I'm wearing a
Speaker 1: beanie which does not have a brim. I reached for
Speaker 1: a phantom brim to duck to doff my hat, and
Speaker 1: it was I came up with nothing. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: my beanie. I don't call these beanies. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I'm saying that. What do you call these? I
Speaker 1: call him? From being a child, I called the toboggan caps.
Speaker 1: You say nit cap, I say toboggan cap. From when
Speaker 1: I was a kid. But everyone just calls them beanies, right,
Speaker 1: But toboggan hats have the little flaps that hang down
Speaker 1: on the side with the s I'm just telling you
Speaker 1: what we called it. I'm not saying we are right.
Speaker 1: I'm just all right, technically have those. I don't know
