Speaker 1: It's two am in San Junipero and you're listening to
Speaker 1: Night Call. Welcome to Nightcall, a podcast to keep you
Speaker 1: company on those strange days and lonely nights. My name
Speaker 1: is Emily Ashida, and I am in New York City
Speaker 1: and with me on the other line in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: I have Molly Lambert and Tess Lynch and we were
Speaker 1: just moments before hitting record here uh kind of gaping collectively,
Speaker 1: uh bicoastally over the new Genelman a video that just
Speaker 1: came out a few hours ago for for making me
Speaker 1: feel that's the song hence the San Junipero reference that
Speaker 1: is basically a kind of uh, I don't know it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a light tribute, but it's just amazing. It's
Speaker 1: her and Tessa Thompson in a neon colored club with
Speaker 1: like Prince guitars, and it's just fantastic. And I'm really
Speaker 1: glad that there is a new Janelle mone piece of
Speaker 1: music and visual in the world, because it feels like
Speaker 1: it's been way too long. Welcome back, all right, That's
Speaker 1: that's our collective message for Janelle Monet. I guess I
Speaker 1: love Jenelle Money. I actually um, she was my daughter's
Speaker 1: favorite guest on Sesame Street. She did a very high
Speaker 1: impact song about fixing your mistakes, getting it right. I
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen that, but I can imagine her
Speaker 1: being just like a perfect Sesame Street guest. She is
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, she's just got this energy. It's like
Speaker 1: her center of gravity is like right and like the
Speaker 1: middle of her body, so it makes her kind of
Speaker 1: like this, Like I don't know, there's something about her
Speaker 1: that she feels very suited to, Like she's she looks fancy,
Speaker 1: she's got that muppet muppet Yeah. Hey, speaking of music videos, huh,
Speaker 1: I happened to see a really good music video for
Speaker 1: Speedy Ortiz is Lucky eighty eight that I think was
Speaker 1: directed by a friend of ours. Money good, good, anytime, anytime?
Speaker 1: Where where? Did you see the music video on the internet?
Speaker 1: On the internet? WHOA, Oh my god, so Emily spoiler
Speaker 1: alert that you directed and produced or just directed? I
Speaker 1: forgot I directed and produced. It was incredible. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a there's a very black mirror, a jokey black mirror
Speaker 1: storyline and some excellent practical effects. And yeah, test and
Speaker 1: I want to know everything about the slime practical Well, first,
Speaker 1: of all who came up with the concept. Um. So
Speaker 1: I kind of got the the gig a little bit
Speaker 1: last minute. Um and I all I knew was that
Speaker 1: they kind of wanted something in the neighborhood of Riverdale
Speaker 1: and black mirror was what I was told, like kind
Speaker 1: of like I I think like the color palette of
Speaker 1: Riverdale were more like and I was like, oh great,
Speaker 1: I that is my address, the section of Riverdale and
Speaker 1: black Hair. I would love to do something. Uh did
Speaker 1: you see that m Gregor Rocky directed a Riverdale No,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I have not been um watching
Speaker 1: this season. I feel like it's going to be waiting
Speaker 1: for me someday when I am sick, waiting for you,
Speaker 1: like a milkshake Pops chocolate shop. Um. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: I I kind of tossed around some ideas. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would have loved to do like a high school set.
Speaker 1: The original idea was something that was like set in
Speaker 1: high school, and then it just felt like it was
Speaker 1: going to be too logistically complicated with scenes. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was funny. I was going back and thinking about
Speaker 1: it and I was like, so I spent this a
Speaker 1: very satisfying summer reading um two out of three of
Speaker 1: the Vallast Trilogy, the Philip K. Dick books and UM.
Speaker 1: The third one is the Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Speaker 1: and there the idea of it is that UM Colin
Speaker 1: of sam Mars are so bored that they take this
Speaker 1: drug where they basically get to live this alter ego
Speaker 1: life and they can buy these like like they can
Speaker 1: buy objects to have in their drug state. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's basically like second life, except it's induced by drugs,
Speaker 1: and so everybody like everybody can't wait to get like
Speaker 1: the latest sweater for their for their for their choosy
Speaker 1: experience and or no, it's not choosy, it's candy. Candy
Speaker 1: is the first one, and everybody becomes either um, the
Speaker 1: women become somebody named Perky Pat and uh so that
Speaker 1: was sort of like the persona was like perky Pat
Speaker 1: um for for Sadie but um but yeah, and then
Speaker 1: the slime. I was just like, I think I'd read
Speaker 1: this Um June Edo comic Dissolving class This is all
Speaker 1: in classroom over Christmas, and I was just really um
Speaker 1: and trance with the idea of doing something with slime,
Speaker 1: and luckily slime is the hottest thing right now. That's
Speaker 1: what I was going to say. I thought you would
Speaker 1: ride in the slime wave. No no, no, no, I wasn't.
Speaker 1: And then I realized, oh, yeah, this is like every
Speaker 1: time that kind of pops up maybe on your suggested
Speaker 1: views suggested videos, like hey, would you like to watch
Speaker 1: somebody like yeah, and it's so funny because um, you know,
Speaker 1: I was like trying to find somebody to just manage
Speaker 1: the effects during it, and um, everybody who was kind
Speaker 1: of like working on the video was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: like you know, if they could work twelve hour days,
Speaker 1: I would just call my cousin or something, because they
Speaker 1: like make these huge that I was going to say
Speaker 1: when you were like, hey, do you know anyone who
Speaker 1: makes slime? And I was like, who doesn't make slime?
Speaker 1: I mean, this is definitely a post election phenomenon, is
Speaker 1: that everybody got really into like manufacturing large quantity days.
Speaker 1: It was like right after fidget Spinners. It was the
Speaker 1: next thing because it's therapeutic. Because I remember in the
Speaker 1: nineties there was slime, there was ghack. I was actually
Speaker 1: just were we were super into slime, but there was
Speaker 1: there was like this whole list of Nickelodeon um different
Speaker 1: kinds of slime and putties and things, and some of
Speaker 1: them have been discontinued, others remain by nobody remember exactly.
Speaker 1: I feel like them making your own is new and
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I like to watch videos of.
Speaker 1: I just like used that to explain to somebody what
Speaker 1: a SMR was. Yeah. I was like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like when people make those videos of slime where they
Speaker 1: like squished the s. They were like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've watched this. Well, there's also a big snail musin
Speaker 1: cosmetics the movement, and I think that that just kind
Speaker 1: of like, yes, slime becomes a part of your daily life.
Speaker 1: I think we're just in like the mucous age. I
Speaker 1: think we are. I think I think people are ready
Speaker 1: to get gross. That was kind of my feeling and
Speaker 1: doing it is like I think that there is kind
Speaker 1: of like reactionary to maybe the hyper controlled like global
Speaker 1: Airbnb aesthetic of everything now, which is also what the
Speaker 1: video has in it. It's like people just want to
Speaker 1: see things get covered in slime and goop. But it
Speaker 1: was really nice to watch that happened. It was it's
Speaker 1: also an earworm. It's such a good song. Ya. The
Speaker 1: sushi covered in slime really like did something weird to
Speaker 1: my brain? Good job, thank you. Um. Hopefully I haven't
Speaker 1: a chance to do that in a long form fashion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I also, I think The Blob is like
Speaker 1: one of the scariest horror movies of all time. It
Speaker 1: totally is. I watched a bunch of The Blob for this,
Speaker 1: I watched obviously rip Oman was a big influence on it.
Speaker 1: Uh And yeah, but the Blob is so scary and
Speaker 1: it's all these practical effects and it's so nasty, and
Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of a movie that's coming
Speaker 1: out this week that hopefully we'll talk about next week
Speaker 1: that also has some very nasty both practical and digital effects.
Speaker 1: But it's just like grossest anymore slime thoughts, um, I'm wondering.
Speaker 1: I was sitting here musing, wondering whether cosmetic kind of booms,
Speaker 1: like when people are really interested in multi step skin
Speaker 1: rituals and cosmetics, if that correlates at all with people's
Speaker 1: fascination with slime. I do think so, you know why,
Speaker 1: because there's been some really slime like face masks, the
Speaker 1: bubble masks, like the ones with glitter, and then I
Speaker 1: saw a really grotesque one that was like just the
Speaker 1: imagery is grotesque. It's like Doctor Jart like shaking shot
Speaker 1: that Kara Brown was like trying out that seemed it
Speaker 1: seems really fun to do, like whether or not it
Speaker 1: actually does anything to your skin. It's like so weird looking,
Speaker 1: but then I'm always like, what if it got stuck
Speaker 1: on your face? Well, there's there's one I think it's like,
Speaker 1: what the hannock your mask? I obsessively read about this stuff,
Speaker 1: but I don't really use it. But there's one that
Speaker 1: like tightens your face so much that it makes you
Speaker 1: look very old, and then you rinse it off and
Speaker 1: it's like your face is really tight. And then there
Speaker 1: are these bubble clay masks that kind of foam when
Speaker 1: they come in contact with the oils on your skin.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if it's you know, being in contact
Speaker 1: with these kind of gooby gooby goose, uh, if if
Speaker 1: you start kind of like becoming more fascinated with that texture,
Speaker 1: because it's kind of like insinuated in your life. It's
Speaker 1: like we're we're simulating a stress response that like animals,
Speaker 1: like anybody else have, which was this like if you're
Speaker 1: stressed out, you create a gooey layer to protect you
Speaker 1: from the rest of the work. Yes, I feel like
Speaker 1: that is what's going on here. I it's the same
Speaker 1: with like mucus, if you have allergies or something and
Speaker 1: you get mucasy, Like that's the same thing. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just like a melting time, Like everything's melting,
Speaker 1: The world is melting. Do you think that the goo
Speaker 1: and the Slime is a comment on global warming? Is? Though?
Speaker 1: It totally no, because that is like also the her
Speaker 1: pitch from Sadie. I mean, the song is kind of
Speaker 1: meant to be about this thing of just like being
Speaker 1: so fed up or like, you know, being so fed
Speaker 1: up with how much conflict in like stress and stuff
Speaker 1: is going on. But meanwhile everything is like, you know,
Speaker 1: the world is gonna die a slow heat death, etcetera. Um,
Speaker 1: And yeah, so that was like definitely there from the
Speaker 1: start of the video, was the slime being global warming? Um?
Speaker 1: Speaking of global warming briefly, Martha Stewart has been on
Speaker 1: a polar journey that I feel was directly inspired by
Speaker 1: Night Call. She's at the South Pole and she's been
Speaker 1: posting the most amazing photographs of like ice formations from
Speaker 1: a tiny ten person boat called the Zodiac. Wow, yeah
Speaker 1: that she is. She's a Night Call fan. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: very she is she a tasky? Is she an avery
Speaker 1: or she might be like a Zodiac? I think she
Speaker 1: is true. I love her goth Instagram. It's so goth.
Speaker 1: It's very like. She posted this picture once of like
Speaker 1: a donkey eating a coyote and everybody was like wow,
Speaker 1: and she was like, it's the brutality. Okay, she's hurd talk.
Speaker 1: Speaking of our other Night Call listeners, I think that
Speaker 1: we have some listener questions that we were going to tackle.
Speaker 1: We'll go like do lie doo, lie doo lie dude.
Speaker 1: So we we received a bunch of really great voicemails
Speaker 1: and emails this week, and it was really hard to
Speaker 1: choose from um the good questions that we got. And
Speaker 1: if you have a call for us, you should give
Speaker 1: us a call at two four oh four six night
Speaker 1: That's right, Emily, or you can always email us at
Speaker 1: Night Call Podcast at gmail dot com. Drop us a line.
Speaker 1: Let's uh have a voicemail, guys, let's kick it off
Speaker 1: a night call. Just Sen Howards, California, fucking dogs, cold
Speaker 1: not so y streets of North Holly. Who was here
Speaker 1: was a question for you? Me and my friends. Linda
Speaker 1: was talking to the huge Harrison Ford fan, big big
Speaker 1: crush on the man, particularly classic Arab Ford. We had
Speaker 1: a good question what year was Harrison Ford the hottest? Like,
Speaker 1: what single year would you just look in the absolute
Speaker 1: best in the hottest role and uh we settled on three.
Speaker 1: That's the year where a simple do was being filmed
Speaker 1: and trangetic gis out if you google Harrison Ford nine
Speaker 1: eight three is a particularly hot image of man these
Speaker 1: sub glasses is just the pub mre. So you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you guys don't think there supports hotton. You know,
Speaker 1: I will double this podcast you do think that, but
Speaker 1: you know, just answer the question the hot we get started.
Speaker 1: For the background, I'm actually googling. I googled three, Molly,
Speaker 1: did you know I googled Harrison Ford's I MDB and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all of his credits now to decide
Speaker 1: when he was the hottest. First of all, we obviously
Speaker 1: all think Harrison Forward is hot. Obviously I'm saying, assuming
Speaker 1: everyone else is on board, I think he is hot. Um,
Speaker 1: he is also one of the rare actors that I
Speaker 1: would say has not gotten better with age. I think
Speaker 1: when he is young, he is the hottest. Well, um,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a hot take that most people hotter
Speaker 1: as the age. Were you just saying he is the
Speaker 1: rare is the exception where he was hot or young?
Speaker 1: Or were you saying, okay, okay, most actors I I
Speaker 1: and that I find physically appealing, I like, at least
Speaker 1: equally across all their different aging periods. And that he
Speaker 1: meant you were saying he like leveled off as an
Speaker 1: actor at a certain point, like you plateau in terms
Speaker 1: of talent, which I do kind of maybe think it's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean not not. It's not a lie. It's not
Speaker 1: a lie. Really quick say that if you do google
Speaker 1: Harrison for three, which now obviously everyone who's listening has
Speaker 1: to google. He he had a really bad beard and
Speaker 1: mustache choice around that time, and it's thrown in with
Speaker 1: the other images and it, honestly, it kind of ruins
Speaker 1: nineteen three for me. It looks, oh, you're you're right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean Here, I'm gonna say, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I think is a good choice, because that's like
Speaker 1: you're between Indiana Jones, You're after Star Wars, You're right
Speaker 1: a blade runner um. But I'm gonna go controversial and say,
Speaker 1: is the last time I found Harrison Ford very hot?
Speaker 1: Because that's when working working? Girl, Yeah, he's he is
Speaker 1: very attractive and working and he's an asshole and working.
Speaker 1: He's like a hot yuppie dick. So good. And right
Speaker 1: after that is Last Crusade, and I feel like, already
Speaker 1: by Last Crusade, I'm out again. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you guys that I think Harrison Ford ninety three
Speaker 1: fugitive Harrison Ford. I this is the reason being that
Speaker 1: I feel like he was he was at a point
Speaker 1: in his life in his career where he he was
Speaker 1: so serious and it was like almost like a repellent
Speaker 1: kind of seriousness. He's mean, he's on the run and
Speaker 1: like he was, you know, a victim, and I felt
Speaker 1: like there was more complexity for me and he was
Speaker 1: more accessible to me. And the fugitive. Maybe I prefer
Speaker 1: people who were like who look like they have suffered
Speaker 1: a lot. He didn't kill his wife. He didn't kill
Speaker 1: his wife. Boy, you know, he almost should have at
Speaker 1: that just that movie for the first time. It's a fantastic,
Speaker 1: very good It's a really good movie. The Fugitive. That's
Speaker 1: night College recommendation for the Emily. When do you think
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford try and skirt the question? Emily was the
Speaker 1: most hot? Um? My favorite Harrison forward is Joan Didion's
Speaker 1: carpenter Slider. Uh. Yeah, no, that's that's that's above and
Speaker 1: beyond my my favorite. Uh. Those pictures of him at
Speaker 1: their beach house Inventura are like both idyllic because the
Speaker 1: house looks beautiful and the life just looks incredible, like
Speaker 1: smoking a joint, building at deck, and you're just He's
Speaker 1: wearing these flattel shirts building their fucking deck. It's just
Speaker 1: like kind of stereotypical, like female fantasy, but also just
Speaker 1: so so specific obviously surrounded by succulents and the central coast.
Speaker 1: It's like, I have a deck and like occasionally the
Speaker 1: animal noises coming from under the deck. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: what's the point of a deck. It's like, you you
Speaker 1: build fake ground on a platform above perfectly good ground,
Speaker 1: and you create the space of unknowns. You better watch
Speaker 1: out because Harrison Ford might be Yeah. I think Harrison
Speaker 1: Ford circuit his deck, his deck, habitation to say pot
Speaker 1: smoke like wafting out possibly being like a stone or carpenter,
Speaker 1: and then like meeting you know, every single director in
Speaker 1: the course of your job and becoming Harrison Ford movie
Speaker 1: star feels like like such a I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: kind of I don't know kids media in a way
Speaker 1: that I don't feel like happens anymore. But it's also
Speaker 1: like the ultimate like attractive boy, privileged story. I think
Speaker 1: he's a very good actor because he doesn't seem actorly,
Speaker 1: which is obviously really hard to do. And the person
Speaker 1: I always compare him to him I had because I'm
Speaker 1: a million years old, is Joel McCrae, who was another
Speaker 1: like a guy who grew up in l a and
Speaker 1: just like became an actor, but had worked on a
Speaker 1: ranch where you're like, wow, that seems like they found
Speaker 1: that guy on like a ranch like building a deck,
Speaker 1: and now he's in a movie. But do you think
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford has a sense of humor? I mean I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Fun is maybe not his thing now
Speaker 1: that you mention it. I mean, Leanna Jones has a sin.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Is he tricks you into thinking he does.
Speaker 1: But I've never seen Harrison for like really cracking. But
Speaker 1: it's possible life something. Now he's in the like the
Speaker 1: take in zone. He's like an angry father. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: maybe that's me. Honestly, maybe I just revealed that that's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the beginning of his angry father phase. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't say it's what I'm like. Emily
Speaker 1: likes him like unmolded clay, like taking like him looking looking,
Speaker 1: you know, fresh and young, a little potential. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: you know, actually I think my real answer might be
Speaker 1: that I think he's the most hot in American graffiti. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where he's just like kind of that's most unmolded. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's so that's when you're just like, this guy should
Speaker 1: be the biggest movie star in the world because he's shining.
Speaker 1: He's just so hot. He's like McConaughey and dazed and confused.
Speaker 1: He's just like maybe that's just my fantasy for someone
Speaker 1: hot to pull up in a car. Well, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you caller for this question, which is inspired I
Speaker 1: feel like the liveliest hornyest debate so far on Nightcall
Speaker 1: for only a few episodes, and I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: it is. It is the high water market. It's all
Speaker 1: downhill from here. I'm just saying that, thank you for

Speaker 1: Um you, guys, can I can I request that we
Speaker 1: talk about the film Mother, even though it's not timely? Oh? Boy,
Speaker 1: can you? Because here's so, I've been wanting to see
Speaker 1: Mother for a really long time. I wanted to watch
Speaker 1: it at home because that's how I prefer to watch
Speaker 1: my Aronofsky movies. And um, I couldn't see it for
Speaker 1: a really long time because I cut my eyeball and right,
Speaker 1: and then tell us more about how you cut your eyeball.
Speaker 1: You don't want to know. I do want to know. So,
Speaker 1: like years ago, my son was a toddler, and he
Speaker 1: was gesticulating, he was telling a story, and one of
Speaker 1: his bad parents hadn't cut his fingernails in a bit,
Speaker 1: and he accidentally sliced my eyeball and huh and then
Speaker 1: but then it healed. I got a contact lens vantage.
Speaker 1: But then, um, I scratched my eye like you know,
Speaker 1: just with you know, like itched my eye and it
Speaker 1: really hurt, and I thought like I must have some
Speaker 1: sand in my eye or something. And eventually, like long
Speaker 1: story short, there had always been some kind of roughness
Speaker 1: left over from the first injury, and then it like reopened.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry if you're eating something right now, or
Speaker 1: even if you're just having a body or yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 1: It was a terrible experience. It's a good body horror
Speaker 1: lead until that's the thing is. I was like, all
Speaker 1: I wanna do is watch Mother, because I know it's
Speaker 1: gonna it's just gonna be this like Carnival of body horror.
Speaker 1: But I can't. And the way that they try to
Speaker 1: speed up healing with your eye is they put a
Speaker 1: plus cental bandage on it, so it's like a slice
Speaker 1: of freeze dried like placenta, amniotic cells, I don't know,
Speaker 1: and then makes the contact they put that on and
Speaker 1: then they put the contact lens on top to try
Speaker 1: to facilitate healing. But whether it was the the idea
Speaker 1: of this or there was something in it that my
Speaker 1: eye didn't like, it was like I got home and
Speaker 1: I thought I'll be fine, and almost ten minutes after
Speaker 1: I got home, I had to be rushed back to
Speaker 1: the eye doctor and they had it was just a nightmare.
Speaker 1: They had to give me like valium there like your
Speaker 1: body rejected. It rejected the placenta, it rejected the place.
Speaker 1: Say so it was the plot of Mother, but I
Speaker 1: couldn't see mother, like given birth a couple of times.
Speaker 1: So you've like I am my mother exclamation out. So
Speaker 1: I would think the placenta on the I would just
Speaker 1: be after that, just like like nothing. I just like
Speaker 1: that you like high on your list. Once you're I
Speaker 1: accepted the placenta and you could see again in your vision,
Speaker 1: wasn't at risk? You were like time to watch mother.
Speaker 1: This is what these things were a mother? Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: what did you guys think of mother? Um? I loved
Speaker 1: how much Molly hated Mother before she hadn't seen it. Um,
Speaker 1: she was like really out there, like vocally anti Mother
Speaker 1: and then she saw and she was like, I love Mother.
Speaker 1: Everyone should know by now that my thing is vocally
Speaker 1: taking a position and then completely changing my mind and
Speaker 1: being really annoying. If you're like, well, you didn't just
Speaker 1: change your mind, you just hadn't seen the movie. I
Speaker 1: was just like, this sounds bad because it's an allegory
Speaker 1: and I hate allegories. Oh my god, I hated this movie.
Speaker 1: I why, I can't believe that it's even worth arguing about,
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's something. I was just shocked to
Speaker 1: how many people thought that there was something, like even
Speaker 1: people who were like, it's not good, but it's fun
Speaker 1: to talk about. No, it's not fun to talk about.
Speaker 1: It's just like a college kid stab at at fucking
Speaker 1: like profundity about like it's the Bible but it's also
Speaker 1: Mother Okay. But like I say, you don't take any
Speaker 1: of the allegory at its face value as being about
Speaker 1: Mother Earth because it's obviously just about Darren Aronofsky dating
Speaker 1: Dennifer Lawrence. That was my preferred read. And on that note,
Speaker 1: it was like really interesting, Yeah it was. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was like, okay, it's kind of about global warming.
Speaker 1: At one point, I think he spoke with Indie Buyer
Speaker 1: and answer he literally, I was at the premiere of
Speaker 1: it in New York City, humble brag at Radio City Musical.
Speaker 1: But it's not a humble brag because I didn't have
Speaker 1: a good time. And uh oh there's like another fun
Speaker 1: anecdote from this event. But before it started, he came
Speaker 1: out and introduced the film You should never have Darren
Speaker 1: Aronofsky introduced his own film because he will ruin um.
Speaker 1: And he was like, you know, I just want to
Speaker 1: say that this movie is about all mothers, but it's
Speaker 1: also about our mother. And then like dropped the mic
Speaker 1: and walked off, and I was like, is this also
Speaker 1: where he handed out like that weird prayer the prayer
Speaker 1: card by the prayer Yeah, is it? Rebecca soln like
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm only had on handing out a prayer
Speaker 1: card at all. It's not the content of the prayer card.
Speaker 1: It's the pairing of a prayer card with a movie,
Speaker 1: Like you have to separate the art from the artist. Guys.
Speaker 1: Uh now, you know, I feel like this is a
Speaker 1: topic we will continue to explore throughout this podcast. Is
Speaker 1: people you might not like making things you like sometimes
Speaker 1: I kind of thought, I was like, my first impression
Speaker 1: of Mother was I was like, Oh, it's about capitalism,
Speaker 1: which I guess is how I come at everything that
Speaker 1: seems like dense at this point, because I'm like, when
Speaker 1: I read the corrections, I was like, I love this book.
Speaker 1: It's about birth order. And then I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: it's about capitalism, So now I just assume every day.
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, see, she married this idealist
Speaker 1: who's an artist, but now that she's pregnant and a homeowner,
Speaker 1: she's kind of a nimby and she doesn't want him
Speaker 1: to invite in the new ideas because all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they threatened her safety. And then she's having to
Speaker 1: deal with her own decay and the house is decay,
Speaker 1: the inevitable decay. And I got really into that. And
Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, it's about global warming, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let it take that away from
Speaker 1: me because I still believe I'm right. Like it's like
Speaker 1: one of those movies where I don't feel guilty at all,
Speaker 1: just being like, it's about whatever I think it's about.
Speaker 1: Because I thought Jennifer Lawrence was really good and it
Speaker 1: was like a good parable of like on Views and Hollywood,
Speaker 1: and I I also really like Black Swan. I love
Speaker 1: Black Swan. See, this is the thing. I'm not anti.
Speaker 1: You are more anti Aeronofsky than I am. I thought
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence gave a better performance in Mother than Natalie
Speaker 1: Portman did in Black One. Personally, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: thought she was good. I was I just had to
Speaker 1: be freaked out and scream and then get like the
Speaker 1: ship beat out of her at the end, which was painting.
Speaker 1: She did a lot of paint. She just wanted to
Speaker 1: paint and brace the sink. Also, it was just like
Speaker 1: it was hilarious. It was the best part of the
Speaker 1: movie for me is when all of these terrible house
Speaker 1: guests keep coming through and she's in a room and
Speaker 1: this older gentleman comes by and like tries to come
Speaker 1: into the room, and she's like, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: He's like, sorry, I was just exploring, And I just
Speaker 1: laughed so hard for some reason, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that's this is such a slice of life. Is a
Speaker 1: cinema veritae because it's like, can you imagine how horrible
Speaker 1: that would be if someone just key me into your
Speaker 1: house and came into your bedroom and they're just exploring.
Speaker 1: That was like obviously trying to be very Rosemary's Baby,
Speaker 1: just like all the weirdos are taking over in your space.
Speaker 1: The most recent time for me that that Mother came
Speaker 1: up was a friend of mine works in film production,
Speaker 1: and she was on some shoot and they were she
Speaker 1: was in a production van and like having a really
Speaker 1: bad time because she was I think the only woman
Speaker 1: on the production and was just stuck in this van,
Speaker 1: and she decided to check out a lighthearted comedy called Mother. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's just that all the guys in the van. Well,
Speaker 1: first she had to overhear like a whole thing about
Speaker 1: how like do women really want to be cinematographers? Though,
Speaker 1: like this whole discust, like dumb, sexist like discussion between
Speaker 1: a bunch of like white film bros. And then uh,
Speaker 1: and then it got to how Mother was the best
Speaker 1: movie of seventeen and it was better than Moonlight, and
Speaker 1: I was like, hold that against Tess and I liking Mother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just saying that like that this is
Speaker 1: I was just like, get out of the car. This
Speaker 1: is in the same space working I like a lot
Speaker 1: of things that like film bros like and like, they
Speaker 1: can still be wrong and I can still like them,
Speaker 1: you know totally. I'm just saying, like the fight club, Yeah, my,
Speaker 1: you know what fight clubs about is a capitalist. My
Speaker 1: husband did not like Mother, and he insisted didn't know
Speaker 1: he didn't like Mother. Really yeah, I think he had
Speaker 1: high expectations in mine were low. But he he then
Speaker 1: made us watch the episode of twin Peaks. Got a light.
Speaker 1: I think, um, episode eight, it's it's so scary eight
Speaker 1: or three, it's the one with a lot of nuclear
Speaker 1: it's the black and white one. Yeah, And and he
Speaker 1: was like, see this is Mother but better. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh me, it's not at all. It's not
Speaker 1: at all like Mother but better. I mean, I think people,
Speaker 1: I think the end of Mother is like a silly mess. Again,
Speaker 1: like I did have low expectations for it that I
Speaker 1: was just sort of like laughing and enjoying funny. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to be funny. The end when there's like people
Speaker 1: chanting like cc POE or something, I was like, you
Speaker 1: don't know what you think this is about, which is
Speaker 1: why you're just going to tell everyone's about global warming?
Speaker 1: Like I I really appreciate their being movies like Mother,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, this kind of failed, but I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. And I also it made me think like, well,
Speaker 1: I just want every filmmaker to make their kind of
Speaker 1: Mother where they just kind of lose their train of thought,
Speaker 1: but there they have to keep finishing it and keep
Speaker 1: going and it makes it weirder. Yeah, that's the only
Speaker 1: aspect of Mother that I like is that it was
Speaker 1: a paramount release, which is like, like, somebody let him
Speaker 1: make this. It's like a big budget, silly like trying
Speaker 1: to make a Bergman movie. Well, it's like he's trying
Speaker 1: to make a large bound tree or a movie. This
Speaker 1: is the thing. Mother is not that extraordinary for how
Speaker 1: weird it is, Like there's tons of weird shit out there.
Speaker 1: It's just interesting because it's a paramount. It was a
Speaker 1: large scale, like awards season released by a major studio.
Speaker 1: That is interesting and weird. It doesn't happen all the
Speaker 1: time because it was about like a weird the director
Speaker 1: actress relationship and how fucked up it is. But he
Speaker 1: also tried to deny that. I think that's because it's
Speaker 1: what it was about. Reading He would want to the
Speaker 1: whole thing was so worshipful of Jennifer Lawrence, and she
Speaker 1: she glows and the way that the camera follows her,
Speaker 1: it's like she's floating a lot of the time. And
Speaker 1: it was just I thought that was interesting because like
Speaker 1: he does kind of put her through these like humiliations
Speaker 1: and tortures, and it reminds, you know, he has a
Speaker 1: pensiant for doing that with especially actresses, but also as actors,
Speaker 1: and so it seemed like a very self aware commentary
Speaker 1: on like how he loves them and he respects them
Speaker 1: and he like distorts it about like dating like male
Speaker 1: artists who are like also insecure that they're like and
Speaker 1: he I think Javier Barden's character is written to be
Speaker 1: so silly. I mean, like that was the poems, the
Speaker 1: poems he'd recite. But again I was like, I know
Speaker 1: real poets and they are just as justice us about
Speaker 1: what they do, like you giving a speech at a
Speaker 1: dinner like a funeral for someone you didn't really know,
Speaker 1: and just it's a that was a real scom So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. This episode of Nightcall is brought to you

Speaker 1: I think that we should devote a minute to Fraser.
Speaker 1: But this week we're going to have a different kind
Speaker 1: of Fraser minute. That's right, we're gonna talk about Fraser.
Speaker 1: The Fraser minute. It's the Brendan. I think it's still Fraser.
Speaker 1: That's I was struggling with this. Yeahh I think it
Speaker 1: is still Fraser. There was a really great profile of
Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser and where he's been. Uh that was in
Speaker 1: g Q. Who Zach Barron wrote it, right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think Zach Barron wrote it. Um. It was a very
Speaker 1: well written profile, I thought, because it it's packed a
Speaker 1: lot of suspense in and um. Among the kind of
Speaker 1: revelations was that Brendan Fraser kind of stepped back from
Speaker 1: the spotlight after an incident at the two thousand three
Speaker 1: Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Oh, the head of the Hollywood
Speaker 1: Foreign Press Association grouped Brendan Fraser at a party. He
Speaker 1: like grabbed his ass and then like put his whole
Speaker 1: hand in kind of yeah, I think that he the
Speaker 1: guy admitted to it in a book and he says
Speaker 1: he squeezed his ass and then Brendan Fraser was like, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what, like he grabbed my taint. Yeah uh,
Speaker 1: and then the guy has has denied it since then. Um,
Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser was just like, oh, yeah, it really sucked
Speaker 1: me up up. And he just talked about how like
Speaker 1: throughout his career he like made movies. The reason he
Speaker 1: did so much physical comedy was because he was like
Speaker 1: a masochist and wanted to like put his body through
Speaker 1: the ringer in all these ways. And then he like
Speaker 1: fucked his body up real bad. And he said he
Speaker 1: put himself back together with like band aids and ice
Speaker 1: packs all the time when he was filming movies. Fucked
Speaker 1: him up, The Mummy, The Mummy. He just kept doing
Speaker 1: movies with like more and more stunts and more stuff
Speaker 1: that involved like and then he said, like the climax
Speaker 1: was he was in this like bad Looney Tunes movie
Speaker 1: where he had to punch himself in the face playing
Speaker 1: and he was playing his stunt double. It was really
Speaker 1: it was a confusing the end of Postmodernist. Definitely that movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like he was playing himself and he had
Speaker 1: to like punch himself in the face, and he was
Speaker 1: just saying how he really wanted to get it right,
Speaker 1: and then he punched himself in the face really hard
Speaker 1: and was like what am I doing? Um? And now
Speaker 1: he lives with like some horses. Yeah, he brought home
Speaker 1: a horse from a shoot from Mexico, I think, and
Speaker 1: brought home the horse because he felt like he made
Speaker 1: this instant connection with the horse. He compares himself to
Speaker 1: the horse from Animal Farm. That's it's a very sad
Speaker 1: interview all at all, but he's like, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: the horse and Animal Farm. That's like the proletariat that
Speaker 1: just works and works and works. And then it's like
Speaker 1: body breaks down and it realizes it's like, shouldn't have
Speaker 1: done all the stuff it was told to do? Like
Speaker 1: that's me and this horse that I rescued. He's always
Speaker 1: been so interesting because acting teachers, in my experience, having
Speaker 1: having taken some acting lessons that didn't work out very well,
Speaker 1: but they often cite him as one of their favorite actors,
Speaker 1: which always seemed kind of weird because you're like the Mummy.
Speaker 1: It's a good comedity. He's great. He was in Dogs.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that his first role was in dog Fight.
Speaker 1: Since this article has come out, I feel like everybody's
Speaker 1: been like, oh, like Brendan Fraser, I have like nice
Speaker 1: memories of Incino man, you know, he's very likable. And
Speaker 1: again I feel like Chris Pratt, Everyone's like, oh, Chris
Speaker 1: Pratt is like people trying to make another Brendan Fraser slash,
Speaker 1: make a make a new Harrison Ford, and it just
Speaker 1: doesn't work because it's like superficially the same things, but like, no,
Speaker 1: whatever that unknown quality is that still still came off
Speaker 1: as a movie star though. And I think that the
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt thing is that there's he's he I always
Speaker 1: think of as the male equivalent of Jennifer Lawrence, where
Speaker 1: it's like this could be you, except he's like a
Speaker 1: little more attractive. That still seems like something Jennifer Lawrence
Speaker 1: could be. Jennifer Lawrence seems like funny and cool. Then
Speaker 1: Chris Pratt to me seems like somebody I would like
Speaker 1: not like at all and realize it. But I think
Speaker 1: the people who are meant to like be his demographic.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's I also feel like in Jurassic World,
Speaker 1: which you know, I liked him, and Guardians the Galaxy fine,
Speaker 1: like I got when they were first being like he's
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford. I was like, okay, fine, But in Jurassic World,
Speaker 1: the way they try to make him Harrison Ford is
Speaker 1: just by having him be a dick the whole time,
Speaker 1: and it sucks. Han Solo is like charming, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, like why is it different when he doesn't.
Speaker 1: It just is that Also, like the guy who wrote
Speaker 1: that movie is just like one of the biggest hacks
Speaker 1: the whole like working today, and he keeps getting these
Speaker 1: huge jobs and I totally forget his name and what
Speaker 1: his next thing is. But I think, yeah, did you
Speaker 1: see Passengers? No? I didn't see Passengers. Maybe we should
Speaker 1: all watch pass I mean that's the thing like that
Speaker 1: that that proves the point is that like they're the
Speaker 1: equivalent of each other. And when they're in the same movie,
Speaker 1: it just like cancels. They cancel each other out, and
Speaker 1: it's like, y that nobody contradict Yeah totally, Hey we
Speaker 1: should take another night call. Yeah, let's take another night call. Yes,
Speaker 1: it looks like we have an email from we'll call
Speaker 1: him Joe. UM, and it says I am needing some help.
Speaker 1: My wife hates me and I need some attention. What
Speaker 1: do I need to do? She's into things that I
Speaker 1: haven't experienced before, and I have ruined our marriage. Help. Um. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a real night call. Yeah, that is that is
Speaker 1: a night call. An email form for sure. Um, I
Speaker 1: would like some more detail about the things that she
Speaker 1: is into that he hasn't experienced. But I feel like,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: like that that's an easy kind of thing to get
Speaker 1: hung up on, and I know that I have kind
Speaker 1: of experienced that kind of stuff before in relationships where
Speaker 1: it's like the difference of experience, especially like experience that
Speaker 1: gets weighted a lot, like you know, drugs or sex
Speaker 1: or something like that gets like like becomes very big
Speaker 1: in in the other person's mind. Sometimes Joe should talk
Speaker 1: to his wife. Yeah, yeah, it's funny that Joe. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you have to break it down his wife. Okay,
Speaker 1: his wife hates him. He needs some attention. What do
Speaker 1: I need to do? She's into things that I haven't
Speaker 1: experienced before, and I've ruined our marriage. So these are
Speaker 1: two very separate. So what what's an experience gap that's
Speaker 1: easy to close? Right? If the issue is like my
Speaker 1: wife's done all the payote and I haven't done enough.
Speaker 1: I like that you go to drugs, I'm assuming he's
Speaker 1: talking about sex. Is it just easier to talk like
Speaker 1: what if the experiences are like she wants to make
Speaker 1: out with women and that's like something he can't but
Speaker 1: he's made out with women. But yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: just think to take this as like an abstract like
Speaker 1: difference in experience. I'm assuming that she she's been around
Speaker 1: the block or something and something whatever block that maybe
Speaker 1: she has been around it more. If she's been around
Speaker 1: the block and she ended up with you, Joe, though,
Speaker 1: that means that, yeah, she doesn't miss the block. That
Speaker 1: was aformed choice exactly. I don't ignore that, And I
Speaker 1: mean and and don't open by saying that she hates you,
Speaker 1: because that feels like you're you. Then that's a very
Speaker 1: self defeating projecting. Yeah, maybe you haven't ruined things if
Speaker 1: she's still your wife. Yeah, if you need attention and
Speaker 1: you feel as though there's an experience gap probably you
Speaker 1: need to prepare yourself for one of you know, for
Speaker 1: two different outcomes, one being that you should try a
Speaker 1: new experience together, right that she's never experienced. Don't laugh, Mother,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was just maybe they should watch mother
Speaker 1: to well. Honestly, I mean you, I think you think
Speaker 1: of something that neither of you has ever done, and
Speaker 1: you try it together with the knowledge that you're at
Speaker 1: a very rough place in your relationship, and that will
Speaker 1: either bring you together or drive you apart. And it
Speaker 1: could be perceived differently by the two of you. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be drugs, but they could you
Speaker 1: could um, but yeah, you could want to say I
Speaker 1: couldn't hurt. How did you know? No, it could hurt.
Speaker 1: That's it's not true. You should and definitely not be
Speaker 1: a skydiving or if what about like going to where
Speaker 1: have you not been? Portugal? Maybe be like, we're going
Speaker 1: to try and save our marriage. We've never been a Portugal.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do peyote in Portugal and adopt a porcupine.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do all the peas that we've never done.
Speaker 1: And then if it doesn't work out, you know that
Speaker 1: you try it. I do recommend going someplace different together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good to get out and be in a new
Speaker 1: environment with your partner. I would say do something that
Speaker 1: requires at least logistics possible, because that is a recipe
Speaker 1: to be screaming on each other, especially if you're you're
Speaker 1: in a kind of raw and tender place. Um, don't
Speaker 1: go camping in other words, Um, and don't like try
Speaker 1: to go to a city and like do something we
Speaker 1: have to do all this stuff and everything, Like, do
Speaker 1: something kind of simple and low key but still unfamiliar
Speaker 1: and not a stay cation get out. Yeah, but also,
Speaker 1: you can't ruin a marriage. You can only you can
Speaker 1: make bad decisions that show you things about yourself and
Speaker 1: your partner that mean that maybe it's no longer your
Speaker 1: time to be together. But I don't think you should
Speaker 1: take the blame on yourself. You've ruined the marriage, like
Speaker 1: you made choices authentic to who you were probably and
Speaker 1: your wife is having an emotional response that's authentic to
Speaker 1: who she is. So now you just have to figure
Speaker 1: out if it's an external problem or if it's you know,
Speaker 1: an internal problem. But regardless, Joe, you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: We got your back. Joe. Yeah, we're your friends here. Good.
Speaker 1: It was nice of you to reach out. Yeah, thank
Speaker 1: you for being vulnerable. Should we have another um night email?
Speaker 1: So this one comes from Amanda. Hi'all found your podcast
Speaker 1: from Astonishing Legends today and I thought i'd pitch you
Speaker 1: guys a question. Last week, during a late night of knitting,
Speaker 1: listening to a post apocalyptic audio book, and drinking wine,
Speaker 1: I found myself Yeah, I found myself googling appropriate level
Speaker 1: of apocalyptic paranoia and pulling out reference books to cuddle with.
Speaker 1: Google was unable to provide a satisfactory answer. Neither was
Speaker 1: the wine. Any insights, Thanks, Amanda. Um, I love this question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it really Uh is also maybe directed
Speaker 1: to Tess, who is my most post apocalyptic strategy googling friend.
Speaker 1: Probably Well, I am a mother. You know all of
Speaker 1: us are scared about the apocalypse, right, guys. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I feel like, again, you're the great smith, you like
Speaker 1: do the most research until like, what's the actual plan? Well,
Speaker 1: I was just saying I've noticed there's like a strong
Speaker 1: uptick and leftist preppers. Hmmm. Um. And I watched the
Speaker 1: documentary Ones about people who live in their r vs
Speaker 1: and they all like clarified that they were like hippies,
Speaker 1: not preppers. But I think now we're getting more of both.
Speaker 1: Can I briefly just say that I misinterpreted this question
Speaker 1: initially to basically be asking our opinion on wine pairings
Speaker 1: for apocalypsic anxiety that such an I have one too well.
Speaker 1: I would also like to preface by saying that this
Speaker 1: came up recently. I was at sun Dance and there's
Speaker 1: a movie, UM, directed by Reading Mrano. She did like
Speaker 1: the first three episodes I think of Handmade's Tale, but
Speaker 1: this movie is called uh oh God, I think We're
Speaker 1: Alone now and Um. One of the aspects of it
Speaker 1: which I did like is that it kind of posits
Speaker 1: that the wine would be one thing that would be
Speaker 1: great about the apocalypse because it doesn't go bad. If
Speaker 1: you're one of the last survivors of the apocalypse and
Speaker 1: you're just wandering around like all the wine is at
Speaker 1: your disposal and it's it's totally fine and fine enough
Speaker 1: at last. Emily, what's your wine recommendation for the apocalypse?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that you have to go for red.
Speaker 1: I would say I would say something earthy, because like
Speaker 1: something silty and earthy. Uh. I had this wine once
Speaker 1: in Montreal that I feel like and I wish I could.
Speaker 1: I took a picture of it, and I would bring
Speaker 1: it up if I had been more prepared, but I
Speaker 1: feel like it was. It was definitely a French wine
Speaker 1: and it was it was really gritty in a way
Speaker 1: that I felt like, this feels like to taste like dirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it literally did taste like dirt and it was great. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it tasted like my glass like an open grave. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: test what's your apocalypse one? I have? The high end
Speaker 1: recommendation is a good Alborno, because I really like Alberino's
Speaker 1: when I'm like dealing with with ship. This is very Fraser.
Speaker 1: It's so Fraser, it's the Fraser minute that goes on.
Speaker 1: But I have to recommend this cheap one because part
Speaker 1: of the deal with weathering the apocalypse is that you
Speaker 1: don't know how long you'll be stuck inside or wherever
Speaker 1: you are. So if you happen to be in the
Speaker 1: room with the wine and a wine corkscrew, then you
Speaker 1: would want like a lot of it. And so this
Speaker 1: one's like six dollars at Trader Joe's and it's the
Speaker 1: Schloss v. Brick Rose sect. And I'm telling you guys,
Speaker 1: because it's it's not the kind of wine that you
Speaker 1: like sit with and enjoy too much. It's the kind
Speaker 1: of wine that you could if you needed to drink
Speaker 1: in a panic of just like hugging it, like just
Speaker 1: get it down. But it's bubbly, so it's also not
Speaker 1: just like a depressing, a stringent thing, little fruity, pretty dry.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I feel like if I drank
Speaker 1: a magnum of bubbly wine really fast, I would throw
Speaker 1: up so fast because the worst thing that could possibly
Speaker 1: happen has already happened, and so you would be almost
Speaker 1: anxiety less about your body probably, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the episode of bow Jack where
Speaker 1: there's an earthquake and yeah, the apocalypse, basically the apocalypse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jessica Veal's there, Yeah, and uh and they're stuck in
Speaker 1: there basically trapped in the house with just like a
Speaker 1: room full of champagne. Yeah. That was a great episode
Speaker 1: that had nothing to do with the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: We have great season. Yeah, I mean, it served a
Speaker 1: plot function, but it was also just like as a standalone.
Speaker 1: I think about that episode all the time. Yeah, made
Speaker 1: me like Jessica biel a lot. I have to say
Speaker 1: that I was in a in a conversation with some
Speaker 1: friends of mine the other day about what you would
Speaker 1: do in a nuclear in the event of a nuclear catastrophe,
Speaker 1: and I had read online that you you want to
Speaker 1: go inside and shower but not scrub with a mild soap,
Speaker 1: and then go underground with as much cement above you
Speaker 1: as so, like a subterranean parking lot would probably be ideal,
Speaker 1: and then you have to wait for like forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: I think that's so funny though, because I'm like, when
Speaker 1: you say subterranean parking lot, my first thought is like,
Speaker 1: but then, what if there's an earthquake right exactly, which
Speaker 1: there inevitably probably would be, but it would be retrofitted.
Speaker 1: But but then my neighbor was like, no, you get
Speaker 1: on a dirt bike right after it happens and you
Speaker 1: go to Reno. And I was like, but you wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: You could be driving like right into the mushroom cloud
