Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush. A very special
Speaker 1: Mini Crush because sitting across from me is not the
Speaker 1: hairy and gamy Knoll. It is the less Harry and
Speaker 1: I assume pleasant smelling Annie. I really appreciate that check.
Speaker 1: That's one of the best introductions I've ever gotten, assumed
Speaker 1: pleasant smells. How you doing. I'm doing well. Last night
Speaker 1: was marty gross and a little tired. But what does
Speaker 1: that mean? For young folks? It means you go out.
Speaker 1: It means, yes, you go drinks. Okay, what kind of
Speaker 1: drinks on Marti Gral? Anything like hurricanes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I had one hurricane, but mostly just a bita beer. Okay,
Speaker 1: what is hurricane? What is hurricane? Like? Who was in
Speaker 1: arrested development? When I was an army that was always
Speaker 1: one of my favorite jokes was that he wouldn't say
Speaker 1: the army, right, what is hurricane? What is hurricane? It's
Speaker 1: in a hurricane. It's a lot of stuff, but primarily rum. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a run based drink. I got you and you
Speaker 1: were wearing a Krueger industrial smoothing baseball jersey or not
Speaker 1: baseball jersey, but jersey style T shirt. Ramsey's wearing an
Speaker 1: O Snap jersey style T shirt. I didn't get the memo, guys,
Speaker 1: you're not cool enough for our jersey base What is
Speaker 1: that Kruger? Is that a movie ref? Is Seinfeld Seinfeld reference? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When George he worked for Careger Industrial Industry and nicknamed
Speaker 1: him Cocoa. Okay, I see the back double zero. Man.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it didn't get that because I've been
Speaker 1: watching Seinfeld a lot lately. Yeah, for some reason, it's
Speaker 1: sort of been my go to late night have something
Speaker 1: on while I drift off, and I think I watched
Speaker 1: like five episodes last night. I'm kind of jumping around,
Speaker 1: but season three is tough to beat Season Dreeen season four,
Speaker 1: I think the prime. Yes, when Seinfeld was in its stride. Boy,
Speaker 1: it was great because it didn't get I mean, I
Speaker 1: liked the whole run. It got not as great towards
Speaker 1: the end, and it was that first season was a
Speaker 1: little rough. But they're really hitting their stride. Yeah, I watched. Uh.
Speaker 1: One of the ones last night was the one where
Speaker 1: they were trying to set George up with a Lane's
Speaker 1: friend who was I knew better from Chandler's girlfriend on Friends.
Speaker 1: Oh Janice, Janice, Yeah, Janice, it's not Fan Treasury, is it. No,
Speaker 1: she sounded like similar, but she actually put that voice
Speaker 1: on in a big way on Friends because she didn't
Speaker 1: talk that way on Seinfeld. Right, right, right, But it's
Speaker 1: just so funny George is talking about how he needed
Speaker 1: a thick and lustrous hair. I grew up watching Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: It was like one of the things. A few I
Speaker 1: only had four TV stations, one of them played Seinfeld
Speaker 1: all the time. And I actually remember asking my mom
Speaker 1: when I was you know, ten or eleven, is that
Speaker 1: how you meet people? You just go to a bar,
Speaker 1: like every week someone knew and she was like, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jerry dated a lot of ladies. We week they have
Speaker 1: someone new coming in. Yeah. And we were actually last night,
Speaker 1: Emily and I were looking at the murderers row of
Speaker 1: actresses who played his girlfriends. Yes, it was it's crazy,
Speaker 1: like Amanda Pete and Terry Hatcher, oh Man, who else
Speaker 1: was on that list. I'm gonna look it up real quick.
Speaker 1: I mean it must be. I would love to see
Speaker 1: some numbers around how many people he dated during the
Speaker 1: run of that show. Yeah, and he got so many
Speaker 1: great actresses who went on to be really big. The
Speaker 1: reason I started looking it up is because last night
Speaker 1: I also watched the episode where Jerry dated the painter
Speaker 1: and George got suckered into buying her painting. And that
Speaker 1: was Katherine Keener, right. Yes, so Kristin Davis from Sex
Speaker 1: in the City, Courtney Cox Before Friends Man, Pete Debor Messing,
Speaker 1: Laurie Laughlin, she's in trouble, She's in trouble. And I
Speaker 1: mean that's just a partial list. There were so many.
Speaker 1: Let me see, Oh, Ben Stiller's wife or they divorced?
Speaker 1: Now I do not know that. Christine Taylor, Yes, I
Speaker 1: think they might be divorced. I'm sorry, Ben, this is
Speaker 1: a bummer. Were subjects? Yeah, debor Messing, that's crazy. I
Speaker 1: mean I didn't date. I dated like three people in
Speaker 1: my life. Jerry dated three people in three weeks exactly,
Speaker 1: And as a kid, I assumed that the whole world
Speaker 1: must operate this way. So I'm very glad my mom
Speaker 1: shut it down. Like, am I going to have to
Speaker 1: date a different guy every week? It sounds like a
Speaker 1: lot of work, I know, way too much work. Yes,
Speaker 1: So Annie, I a couple of things. Go ahead and
Speaker 1: plug away anything you've been working on. Okay, cool, because
Speaker 1: I want people to know your know your stuff and
Speaker 1: where to find you. Yes, well you can always hear
Speaker 1: me over on Savor, which is a food and drink
Speaker 1: podcast that I do that sometimes gets to travel which
Speaker 1: is exciting, and then on stuff. But I'm never told
Speaker 1: you where. We do a thing every month called feminist
Speaker 1: movie Friday. Really, So I knew you did Alien? Yes? Um?
Speaker 1: Did you do Terminator? No? But I would love to
Speaker 1: do Terminator? Yeah we did? Were so far we've done Alien? Um,
Speaker 1: Batman Returns? Which one was at Ramsey's nodding emphatically, Ramsey,
Speaker 1: what do you remember about that movie? Um? I mean,
Speaker 1: what can you not talk about that movie? Which I
Speaker 1: get them all confused? Which one was Christmas? It's a
Speaker 1: Christmas movie, That's why we did it. Christopher walking for
Speaker 1: Walkins in it right right, right right? De Vito as
Speaker 1: the penguin. Was that his first penguin or was that
Speaker 1: his only penguin? Is the only penguin? I think? Well
Speaker 1: he was spoil he dies at the end. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen it and I was like, oh no the movie
Speaker 1: came out, I think in the nineties there's a limit
Speaker 1: to where, you know, spoilers and all that can end
Speaker 1: and start and all that stuff. So ten years and
Speaker 1: apparently Ramsey decides that yes, well I'll accept that now.
Speaker 1: It's fine, I'll cut that out. No, no, no, do not. Uh?
Speaker 1: And what else are there's the only two so far? Um?
Speaker 1: Oh no. We did uh First Wives Club, which I
Speaker 1: had never seen. That was fun. I have not seen that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's got some value. It was fun.
Speaker 1: I'll say it was. It's not my type of movie, perhaps,
Speaker 1: but all right, um, and then move on. We just
Speaker 1: did Milan right, the obviously animated version because the regular
Speaker 1: person out yet exactly. My friend Stacy worked on the
Speaker 1: new one. Really traveled all around the world for like
Speaker 1: a year. That's cool. Just some amazing places. That is
Speaker 1: very cool. Yeah, it looks it looks pretty badass, totally.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. Yeah, I am too. I love the animated one,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see it didn't live action. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Disney is gonna be about a fifty percent
Speaker 1: success rate on those, because I think I didn't see
Speaker 1: the Lion King. I heard it was not good. I
Speaker 1: recently just watched that. I will give it a solid
Speaker 1: all right. The cast is really good. I mean it
Speaker 1: felt like it was in a weird space of it
Speaker 1: added more than the animated movie did, and then it
Speaker 1: updated some things. It was like you were listening you
Speaker 1: your favorite song and they were just kind of jarring
Speaker 1: notes or something, which is from Harry Potter. I didn't
Speaker 1: come that really, that's a quote from Harry Potter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think it is appropriate for right now. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you know I'm a big Harry Potter van. Oh well,
Speaker 1: that is Order of the Phoenix, who are there? He
Speaker 1: gets the school and it sees the festials and it's like,
Speaker 1: not right, h that's a running joke. I've never seen
Speaker 1: any kidnell about it. Uh and what and what else?
Speaker 1: So um Batman returns First Wives Club and Mulan and
Speaker 1: that's it so far, and these come out once a month. Great,
Speaker 1: that's fantastic movie adjacent. Yes. Uh. So we decided, I decided,
Speaker 1: since you were in here and not the hairy gaming Knoll,
Speaker 1: that we would bring a female perspective to this episode
Speaker 1: at least and just sort of honor honor the ladies
Speaker 1: out there. So we went, I don't presume you have
Speaker 1: ever listened to this silliness in this verse and of
Speaker 1: our show. So what we do is we post little
Speaker 1: games on Facebook. We do what we called social studies
Speaker 1: post where people just comment about queries and questions and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And we're going to start out with
Speaker 1: the social studies right now, Social studies movie crush. Very simply,
Speaker 1: I just asked the crushers, who is your favorite all
Speaker 1: time actress? And roll, Uh, you can think on yours,
Speaker 1: unless you know. It's a tough one. A tough one.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not fair. It's hard to pick out
Speaker 1: just one person. But you can still on that for
Speaker 1: a minute. And I'll just start start going through some
Speaker 1: of these here. Let me see. So I decided to
Speaker 1: just do a very simple query, who is your all
Speaker 1: time favorite actress? And roll? You can think about that,
Speaker 1: because I know that's not a fair question. Nope, I
Speaker 1: could never pick up just one actor or actress. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna see what the movie crushers say. We're gonna
Speaker 1: start with Quinn to Caville. Oh boy, these are all great,
Speaker 1: she says Amy Adams. She is, She's tough tin for me,
Speaker 1: for sure, She's amazing. Yeah, I adore her and everything
Speaker 1: she's ever been in. And she says a rival is
Speaker 1: her favorite role, truly fantastic in that movie and doesn't
Speaker 1: overact at all. I do love that role. That is
Speaker 1: really great, great white. If you're not bawling at the
Speaker 1: end of that movie, then you're dead inside. You're just
Speaker 1: absolutely a body in your basement somewhere, your sociopaths. Let
Speaker 1: me see here, Kelly Ferris Marks says Catherine O'Hara, And
Speaker 1: pretty much everything Best in Show is Cookie Fleck maybe
Speaker 1: my favor. Yes, I've not seen. I've seen Ship's Creek.
Speaker 1: Have you seen that? No, I haven't heard. That's really good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard good things. Boy, she's great too, that Emily
Speaker 1: and I always laugh at that that. I guess you
Speaker 1: could call it a limp she does in Best in
Speaker 1: Show after she hurts her leg. It's just the most
Speaker 1: ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. I just
Speaker 1: love how far she takes the comedy, so dumb and
Speaker 1: mean that in the best way, right. Yes, Christie Richardson says,
Speaker 1: I got to be Carrie Fisher is Leah. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: hard to argue. Yes, I have a whole feel about
Speaker 1: Princess Leah. Yes, let's hear it. Oh, okay, this is
Speaker 1: a feel safe place. It is a speel um. I
Speaker 1: just think rewatch. I rewatched the movies a lot lately,
Speaker 1: the original trilogy of Star Wars, and I think she's
Speaker 1: so like the fact that her planet gets the short spoilers,
Speaker 1: I guess. And then and I love Luke. He was
Speaker 1: my first crush. He loses this like old duty knew
Speaker 1: for a minute, and he's like all sad about it,
Speaker 1: and she comes even say whiny yes, and she comes
Speaker 1: and comforts him. It's like it's okay. She doesn't like
Speaker 1: it's never acknowledged. She went through this massive loss. And
Speaker 1: then she continues to lead. I never really thought about that,
Speaker 1: Yes she did. She's not allowed to mourn hardly no,
Speaker 1: and she is like, immediately, there's no time for our sorrows, commander,
Speaker 1: we have to we have to move on. She's just
Speaker 1: like this huge badass that is sort of not acknowledged
Speaker 1: throughout throughout, but it's just understood. Yeah. She is like,
Speaker 1: there's never any questioning, but it's never acknowledged. And then yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: why why does Darth Vader say, as his last line,
Speaker 1: tell your sister, you were right after he tortured her.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a selfish thing to say. Tell
Speaker 1: her I was good to sorry about it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: need to u. I need to go back and sort
Speaker 1: of now that everything's finished, watched them in an order
Speaker 1: that pleases me. Well, Rogue one when it ends, it
Speaker 1: ends with happening and she turns around and looks at
Speaker 1: the camera and has like a smile on her face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: doesn't sit well with me. No, And that was like
Speaker 1: when Yeah, and that was one of the first instances
Speaker 1: they used technology after she was dead, like that was
Speaker 1: a little yeah. Um. But I have recently fallen in
Speaker 1: love with a meme called mcclunkey. Oh wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I think I've heard of this, and it's the Disney
Speaker 1: Plus version of a New Hope, and one can only imagine.
Speaker 1: I like to believe, even though I know it's not true,
Speaker 1: that George Lucas lies awake at night thinking, well, who
Speaker 1: shot first? And he keeps changing this scene. But anyway,
Speaker 1: if you haven't watched the Disney Plus version, it has
Speaker 1: a very funny, unintentionally funny scene in it. Yeah, where
Speaker 1: Grito says mccluncky is that explained. No, does it mean?
Speaker 1: It means, um, your death is coming? And it's from
Speaker 1: an episode one Phantom Menace. Sebulba says mcclunky, which means
Speaker 1: your death is coming. But he says it in like
Speaker 1: an alien voice, so it isn't as weird. This is
Speaker 1: like a random insert where Grito just says mcluck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, then it's just it's just weird.
Speaker 1: That's great. I do love it, though, every time I
Speaker 1: see it I laugh. Well, it's a funny word. Really funny.
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like it means what it says. No, And
Speaker 1: the memes that have come out of it are beautiful.
Speaker 1: I have a whole pack. I've sent it to Ramsey.
Speaker 1: It's the whole package I can send along the best
Speaker 1: memes I've found. All right, maybe we can do that
Speaker 1: on the movie crush page. Mcclunky means please. Granta Knig says,
Speaker 1: I will always love Tony Collette. I love Tony. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: she said a Muriel's wedding and share in Moonstruck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: these are all such good roles. Kenneth Hannon says Kate Blanchett,
Speaker 1: She's one of my biggest crushes. Yes, Kate Blanchet and
Speaker 1: everything she's done, um, but magnificent as Kate, Hepburn and
Speaker 1: the Aviator, also as Hella. I loved her and that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right, boy, she's good. Love Blanchet, Anna Shretzta.
Speaker 1: I always have a hard time with your name, and
Speaker 1: I apologize, old pal, she says. Cathy Bates her diversity
Speaker 1: and film is amazing. Prior to her performance. Um oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, she says. Honestly, I prefer her performance in
Speaker 1: Dolores Claiborne over Misery, but probably Fried Green Tomatoes is
Speaker 1: her best. She's great, Yes, she was really good. Did
Speaker 1: you see the Richard Jewel movie? Oh no, I didn't
Speaker 1: see it, did you? I did? Uh. I took a
Speaker 1: flyer on it just because I had was going to
Speaker 1: the movies and because it had an opportunity and that
Speaker 1: was out and she was great. The movie was okay.
Speaker 1: Paul really loved it. Oh yeah, yeah, give him a
Speaker 1: hard time. He was top ten. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that's not topic. I feel like you give I do.
Speaker 1: He's like my little brother. I love Paul. Let me
Speaker 1: see her, Brandy McDonald says, off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: Sandra Bullock. I always love what she brings to roles.
Speaker 1: But practical magic, she was so memorable and I want
Speaker 1: to be friends with Sally Emily. I always talk about
Speaker 1: she can watch movies based on um dwellings that she loves,
Speaker 1: like a bad movie. If it's got an awesome house
Speaker 1: and there's a room they're they're sort of witchy, uh
Speaker 1: um greenhouse room and practical magic, just like since her places.
Speaker 1: So she'll she'll watch practical Magic for that room. I've
Speaker 1: never heard anything like that. Oh yeah, I mean she's
Speaker 1: watched that dumb movie The Light House like six times
Speaker 1: because of that house. Did you see the title? It
Speaker 1: was like, maybe this is I mean, it's a pretty
Speaker 1: amazing house. I get it. Yes, I it's very funny.
Speaker 1: We had some people comment to that they do the
Speaker 1: same thing. So she's not crazy. Old pal Courtney Hoover,
Speaker 1: says Helena Bonham Carter. I totally agree how she blends
Speaker 1: into roles. Yeah, she really does lose herself. It's good
Speaker 1: quality for an actor. Jenne van vayle In, one of
Speaker 1: her old friends, says, give me some Tila Swinton. What
Speaker 1: a strange creature. She inhabits every role is delightful to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you well, I don't want to spoil it. What
Speaker 1: have you watched? The No? What We Do in the
Speaker 1: Shadow as a show? Still having that you? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: She has such a great look because she can go
Speaker 1: to a lot of different places, from slight androgyny to
Speaker 1: straight up vampire to loving mother. And she's also really funny.
Speaker 1: Like I've always surprised when I see her in a
Speaker 1: comedic role. She does kind of have this look and
Speaker 1: not means she's been casting a lot of sort of
Speaker 1: supernatural type roles, But every time I see her in
Speaker 1: something that's comedic, Wow, till the switch in what oh?
Speaker 1: I guess uh. In some of the Wes Anderson stuff,
Speaker 1: she's she's got some humor. Yeah, I taking some of
Speaker 1: the supernatural things she does as well. But What We
Speaker 1: Do in the Shadows is my most recent example. I
Speaker 1: wonder what she's like as a person. Mm hmmm. I
Speaker 1: hope she's nice. That's what all of us just want. Yeah, nice.
Speaker 1: They don't have to be the most extraordinary people. That's
Speaker 1: all I want. Kindness. Ian Lyons. One of her old
Speaker 1: palace is Meryl streep Hey. Somebody had to say it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, she's she's so good that it's just almost
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's we definitely take her for granted
Speaker 1: because it's just so easy looking for her. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean she had seventeen Oscar nominations. I don't know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: At least sixteen. Yeah, I think it's more than that
Speaker 1: because I was a couple of years ago we did
Speaker 1: an episode on on how many she'd been nominated for
Speaker 1: in sixteen, so it's astounding, yes, and how many she won.
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe two or one. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's more than that. I mean, she should have won
Speaker 1: probably out of this. It's so hard, but you just
Speaker 1: can't give her the award every year. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: do it. Our old pal, Alex Lasnovich says Sissy spacek Oh,
Speaker 1: I love her. Yeah, maybe my favorite overall actress, but
Speaker 1: favorite role is Pam Greer and Jackie Brown. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love that movie. One of our oldest pals, Rebecca Robe.
Speaker 1: Glad you're doing better, Rebecca. She says, they're just way
Speaker 1: too many to pick from. Amazing, she's going the underrated route.
Speaker 1: She lists Joan Cusack, you're speaking my language, love Joanie
Speaker 1: she's fantastic. Branski, Christine Bransky, Jodie Foster, Fran mcdormant, Oh,
Speaker 1: of course, Alison Janny, Yes, Viola Davis. Yes, I can't pick,
Speaker 1: she says. Another princess lay aboute from cat Uh, gim bruno,
Speaker 1: let me see here, Kathy Love, mccrais's Meryl Streep. Scott
Speaker 1: Hodgins says Jodie Foster. She is able to convey so
Speaker 1: many things in a slight expression. She's not around enough anymore.
Speaker 1: I want to her in more movies. Yeah, I do too,
Speaker 1: I do too. She she definitely when you see her,
Speaker 1: there's just like this presence, there's a gravity and she
Speaker 1: totally Yeah, it's just there. Yeah, it's like she's Jodie
Speaker 1: fucking Foster. I mean, she's been around since she was
Speaker 1: a kid. I was watching her and Candleshoe when I
Speaker 1: was a child and watched her grow up, and I think,
Speaker 1: I mean, I respect someone who was super selective, and
Speaker 1: I think that's her deal. She probably only acts when
Speaker 1: she really loves the role, right, Yeah, and good good
Speaker 1: for her, you know. Yeah, it's tough in Hollywood too,
Speaker 1: especially as a woman. I think to step away, huh,
Speaker 1: you have to be really really established, because if you
Speaker 1: go away for a couple of years, that machine rolls on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and especially I I know I've said in a previous episode,
Speaker 1: we've done the older you get. Hollywood just kind of
Speaker 1: was like, no, that's fine. Yeah, you know, I think
Speaker 1: what happens is you there are roles, but that tunnel
Speaker 1: just gets more narrow and more narrow, and you fall
Speaker 1: by the wayside unless you're one of like ten people.
Speaker 1: You know. And since they don't write movies where a
Speaker 1: woman can be a viable sexual creature after the age
Speaker 1: of you know, then they're aged out of wife roles
Speaker 1: and girlfriend roles, yes, because they're going to be played
Speaker 1: by you know, so when you're age right, so you
Speaker 1: know a problem. I knew this was an intervention. You
Speaker 1: just want to call me the problem. You should perhaps
Speaker 1: watch First Wives Club then I wilt say it's a
Speaker 1: fantastic film, but it does have they talk about that.
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn plays a character who's an actress and she's
Speaker 1: like caught between playing the she she wants to be
Speaker 1: the daughter, but now she's getting cast as the mother,
Speaker 1: and the mother is like described as grotesques, getting like
Speaker 1: they're going to put horror movie makeup on her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's like you're this right between exactly, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: tough stuff. Let me see here, Celeste Edwards. Uh can
Speaker 1: I guide her? Great name, she says, Sorsha Ronan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's fantastic, and I'm so excited to be catching her
Speaker 1: sort of early in her career, although she's been around
Speaker 1: for a while she was a kid. Yeah, she's done
Speaker 1: a lot for for her age. Yeah. I loved Little
Speaker 1: Women so much. Well, that was good. Did you see
Speaker 1: the movie, Hannah? I never saw it. Someone pointed that
Speaker 1: out on the page yesterday. That was the She was young,
Speaker 1: and I think played a like an assassin. I think
Speaker 1: so a child assassin, the scariest kind of Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? You'll never hear them coming, that's true, you
Speaker 1: never suspect. Well maybe that's the perfect dissasse exactly her
Speaker 1: eight year old start and neck. Yes, and let's finish
Speaker 1: up here with h boy, there's a lot of Tilda
Speaker 1: Swinton's kath Kathleen Master said, I've always loved Natalie Portman,
Speaker 1: especially in Garden State. Always makes me laugh and then cry.
Speaker 1: Now a Portman's great. I did I love Natalie Portman
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, because to bring up a
Speaker 1: Phantom Menace again that I was like nine, I was
Speaker 1: at prime age for that movie, and I loved her
Speaker 1: as a kid. Oh my god, Queen Amidala. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you were nine when that came out. I was roughly
Speaker 1: nine when Empire came out. So I was on that
Speaker 1: first wave at about the same age that you were
Speaker 1: on wave two. And then there are nine year olds
Speaker 1: now who are seeing these new ones. Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of the coolest things about that whole Star Wars dam
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, it's the generational quality. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: do try to remind myself of that now that I
Speaker 1: have age, and I perhaps don't like the prequels as much, um,
Speaker 1: but I I do think there was value. As a kid,
Speaker 1: I loved him. Um they were okay. I like that
Speaker 1: third one. The third one was pretty good. I actually
Speaker 1: rewatched those for the first time since theaters for the
Speaker 1: new the Newest. I don't think i've seen him since theaters.
Speaker 1: You know, I enjoyed it. Really they're not. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I remembered them worse than they were. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think casting was a little bit of the issue
Speaker 1: because that poor kid take Lloyd, Yeah, just not great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the what did he keep the I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was writing or if it was just something
Speaker 1: he did, but he would say there's some line he
Speaker 1: kept saying, and I was like, why, why is this happening? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like you know or something. It was something
Speaker 1: I guess he kept saying. I guess, yeah, I wonder
Speaker 1: if that was. I didn't scripted that much. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: look at him now. Oh no, don't do this. We've
Speaker 1: had too much downers already. Oh he's dark side. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it looks like a mug shot. He was also in
Speaker 1: Jingle All the Way, which I found out. There's a
Speaker 1: massive lawsuit behind that movie, like a teacher. A teacher
Speaker 1: wrote it. I wrote the script and then they made
Speaker 1: it and the teacher like sued them. Yeah. Interesting, is
Speaker 1: it happening now? No, No, I don think it's already settled.
Speaker 1: Jingle all the Way, It's still happening. Teacher was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait till it max is out it's grosses, yes,
Speaker 1: until I'm gonna squeeze everything out of it and then
Speaker 1: all pursue. So, now that you've had a chance to think,
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite favorite actress. Definitely some of
Speaker 1: those suggestions like Princess Leah that is hard to beat. Um,
Speaker 1: I do like Tony Collette uh in Hereditary or The
Speaker 1: Sixth Cents Knives out when I watched last night. We
Speaker 1: haven't seen it at home again yet because Emily didn't
Speaker 1: get to see a lot of these movies, so now
Speaker 1: they're all out on DVD, so we're gonna jump in. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it again. So good. Every
Speaker 1: time I see it, I see something new, it's yeah,
Speaker 1: um mm hmm. Is there an actress that you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll just see it because she's in it. It's pretty
Speaker 1: rare now. I've actually heard that's a pretty rare thing
Speaker 1: among people now and that's why. Yeah, because it used
Speaker 1: to be, oh, put Tom Cruise is then example, they
Speaker 1: usually use put him in a movie people will go,
Speaker 1: and that is not the case anymore. Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 1: For a while, Natalie Portman was one, um, and probably
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johanson for a while. She's great. Yeah, yeah, um, gosh,
Speaker 1: that's huff. Why did you do this? I'm sorry, Ramsey,
Speaker 1: you got one? Oh yeah, Emily Watson, yeah, um, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies is Breaking the Waves when what
Speaker 1: a movie. Yeah, she's fantastic and that and pretty much
Speaker 1: anything she does. So like, right right when I saw that,
Speaker 1: I was like this, this, this is a star. I
Speaker 1: mean like I was just blown away by her performance
Speaker 1: and that, Yeah, you know what movie I love that
Speaker 1: she was in. Actually I was thinking of someone else
Speaker 1: actually now always get her confused, uh man, some one
Speaker 1: from Harry Potter, Samantha Martin har I get her confused
Speaker 1: with Samantha Morton. Oh and they're not even well, they're
Speaker 1: sort of like they look a little bit alike. But
Speaker 1: I was thinking of the movie Jesus's Son, Jesus Son.
Speaker 1: You ever see that? You should check that out. Great movie.
Speaker 1: It was a book, Um, very very good movie. It
Speaker 1: was a book of sort of vignettes and sort of
Speaker 1: shorts about this car Tore played by Billy Krudup in
Speaker 1: the seventies who kind of wanders in and out of
Speaker 1: these various situations. Uh. Female director Alison McClean, who actually
Speaker 1: worked with on a TV commercial. And I walked up
Speaker 1: to her right when I got to set, and I
Speaker 1: was like, hello, I'm a big fan of your work,
Speaker 1: and I think that's the only movie she directed. She's
Speaker 1: been busy doing other things TV and stuff. But again,
Speaker 1: I think goes to show you how hard it is
Speaker 1: as a woman in the industry. She directed this great
Speaker 1: indie film that started Billy Crudup, Amantha Morton and Jack Black,
Speaker 1: Dennis Leary, Holly Hunter, Dennis Hopper, just a ton of people.
Speaker 1: Who else, what's his name? Michael Shannon was one of
Speaker 1: his first roles. Greg German. Really great cast. Miranda July.
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe her first role. She's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you ever seen her stuff? I've heard I've done
Speaker 1: a lot of It's funny on the show. I do
Speaker 1: a lot of times. I end up reading about a
Speaker 1: lot about their movies or whatever, but I never actually
Speaker 1: see them. So I feel like I feel like I haven't.
Speaker 1: That's great too, all right, So we're gonna move on
Speaker 1: to the second Social Studies social movie. Okay, and this
Speaker 1: is the biggest badass female characters of all time. And
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I haven't looked at these yet. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: there's a range, because to me, movie badasses can come
Speaker 1: in all shapes and sizes. I mean, there's clearly the uh,
Speaker 1: you know, alien and terminator types of badasses. Uh, Like,
Speaker 1: it'd be hard to say Ripley and Sarah Connor aren't
Speaker 1: two of the tops. But there are many kinds of badasses. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you think on yours and unless you know, you
Speaker 1: probably know Princess Leah. Do I need to go back
Speaker 1: into my field. We'll start out with Sarah Strand, she says.
Speaker 1: Growing up it was Sarah from a Little Princess. I
Speaker 1: never saw that. Well, there are multiple versions. Um, I
Speaker 1: I can't really name the one I saw, but I
Speaker 1: really liked it. There's no I can't remember, like any
Speaker 1: of the actors or anyth Yeah. Well this was a
Speaker 1: different kind of badass, she said, the little girl crossing
Speaker 1: between two buildings on a wobbly wood plank in the
Speaker 1: pouring rain while that mean lady tried to pull her
Speaker 1: back in. She might not have been physically kicking ass,
Speaker 1: but she was incredibly brave and went back for her friend.
Speaker 1: And I think that's pretty badass. Yes, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I love. One of my favorite parts
Speaker 1: of the Oscars was Laura Dern's speech. Um. The whole
Speaker 1: speech was great, but at the end, when she talked
Speaker 1: about her friends. Yeah, and I was just like, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's all about. Get up there and
Speaker 1: thank your circle and your support group. Yeah, the people
Speaker 1: who really helped you. Yeah, I mean agents and manager.
Speaker 1: Sure they're valuable, but like when the rubber meets the road,
Speaker 1: it's about your besties. Yes, you know, I love it.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of good, good old old friends,
Speaker 1: and they can all get fucked. I will not be
Speaker 1: thinking you actually all left me. Let me see Deb Sanders,
Speaker 1: says a Koya and Black Panther played by how do
Speaker 1: you pronounce that, Deny Guerira? M I think so? Yeah,
Speaker 1: boy oh god, yeah, she said. Also, I love this
Speaker 1: question and all the responses. Uh my, my buddy. Brian Didsbury,
Speaker 1: local boom operator says any character played by Pam Greer,
Speaker 1: she's the original super Sister. Yeah, Pam Career is great.
Speaker 1: I don't see enough for her either. I really thought
Speaker 1: after Jackie Brown she would just be everywhere. Yeah you
Speaker 1: know again, yeah, exactly. H It's it's frustrating that you
Speaker 1: can have something successful and that's hard enough, and then
Speaker 1: it doesn't lead to anything else. Right, Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 1: That's got to be a big, big disappointment career wise,
Speaker 1: because you think, oh, all right, it's all gonna happen
Speaker 1: now and then Yet it happened for John Travolta when
Speaker 1: Tarantino dug him out of the grave. I saw a
Speaker 1: phenomenon multiple times also face off. Yeah, I mean no,
Speaker 1: trust me. I loved everything from Welcome Back Cotter to
Speaker 1: Urban Cowboy to Phenomenon. Was actually a pretty good movie.
Speaker 1: Um for that kind of movie. Yeah, is that magnanimous?
Speaker 1: I would give it magnanimous. It was a great. But boy,
Speaker 1: he's sort of followed by the wayside. I think old
Speaker 1: friend Rebecca Robe again says, I don't know how you
Speaker 1: pronounced her name, knew me repace. That's how I've always
Speaker 1: pronounced me. She's awesome. But I hope I'm not butchering that. Yes,
Speaker 1: girl with the Dragon Tattoo series an absolute warrior, no aliens,
Speaker 1: sci fi or fantasy, A real woman destroying real monsters. True. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like the That's one of the rare adaptation or
Speaker 1: not adaptations, but remakes of a foreign film where I thought,
Speaker 1: if we're just fantastic. Yeah, I think there's I think
Speaker 1: the American version was great. Yeah, Oddly enough, I had
Speaker 1: to do this class once on c g I, and
Speaker 1: that movie was a great example of because people complain
Speaker 1: about c g I all the time, but a lot
Speaker 1: of the snow in that movie is c g I
Speaker 1: and you would never know it. And the person was
Speaker 1: obviously a little annoyed at people always think c g
Speaker 1: I is bad. He's like, look at this, Look at
Speaker 1: the snow. You never even knew it was c g I. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy, he's right, the best c g I. You
Speaker 1: do don't even know a c g I, but you
Speaker 1: tend to focus on like these whole cloth characters or backgrounds, right, snow,
Speaker 1: poor guy, he just wanted some recognition. Crystal Moon Valente
Speaker 1: says Princess Mononoke. Oh, yeah, she is a great one.
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that, and theirs on that. You
Speaker 1: definitely should her opening shot, you like finally see her
Speaker 1: and she has this epic mask, like monstrous. She's riding
Speaker 1: a huge wolf and did you just say riding a
Speaker 1: huge wolf? Yes, a huge wolf, and she the wolf
Speaker 1: has been shot and she sucks the blood out of
Speaker 1: the wound at the first shot you see of her,
Speaker 1: like spitting out this blood. Oh it's great. An enemy's Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, of course, be exposed to a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Is my daughter grows up that I didn't get to
Speaker 1: watch back then? It is really really good. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm just exposed to Frozen and Frozen too. Are the songs?
Speaker 1: Are they there? Jesus? Yeah. I was so mad at
Speaker 1: Emily this morning. She said, guess what I have stuck
Speaker 1: in my head. I was like, don't do don't the
Speaker 1: North Sea. I change all the words though, and it
Speaker 1: drives my daughter nuts. That's not how it goes. You
Speaker 1: gotta get it right that I've said before. The are
Speaker 1: great fucking songs. Oh yeah, they are really really good songs. Yes,
Speaker 1: I love them. The same person did but a Mormon,
Speaker 1: which I never saw. Oh, yes, very good. They didn't
Speaker 1: do a movie version of that, did they. No, I'm surprised. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I be hard to make and I think so.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many people would see it. I
Speaker 1: could be totally wrong. Yeah, yeah, smash it on Broadway.
Speaker 1: It definitely is and all the songs are really catchy.
Speaker 1: It's really fun show. Also, Josh kad In that he
Speaker 1: was in the first He was in the first run
Speaker 1: of it. I don't love all off. That's sort of
Speaker 1: that's the sticker. Yeah, I mean he does a great job,
Speaker 1: but it's just I don't know. The character kind of
Speaker 1: annoys me. But I love Frozen and Frozen two. We
Speaker 1: finally just saw a few days ago, and it's so good.
Speaker 1: And I think the music is better in Frozen two even. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love these songs. I I do too, and I
Speaker 1: also love I Love Is and Frozen too. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, finally a love that isn't about romance other
Speaker 1: types of love. Yeah, and they even handled Anna's love
Speaker 1: story in the in a good way, I think. Yeah. Yeah, definitely, um,
Speaker 1: and the relationship between her and Christoph is very supportive,
Speaker 1: which is rare unfortunately in most Disney movies. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: you're on the right track now. Yes, it only took them,
Speaker 1: you know, seventy five years. Yeah, sure they're doing it.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. Karen Knox mentions Hannah. She says,
Speaker 1: underwatched incredible movie. Hannah. She's an incredible teenage assassin. Uh
Speaker 1: and so amazing. Go see it. I have to check
Speaker 1: this out. Courtney Hoover says, no bigger badass of course.
Speaker 1: Then a Koyer from Black panther that is true. Yes,
Speaker 1: jennevan Valen old friend says, how about a nod for Juno?
Speaker 1: Hear me out? Terrifying situation for a young woman knows
Speaker 1: what she wants to do. When Bateman's character comes on
Speaker 1: to her, Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, she is
Speaker 1: the grown up in the situation and says you and
Speaker 1: rejects him to stand up for herself against a hot
Speaker 1: older guy. So many teenagers would have loved to have
Speaker 1: had a hot older guy willing them, and she said no.
Speaker 1: I think that was important her pointing out how gross
Speaker 1: that is. Totally. Yeah, that was a that was a
Speaker 1: tough scene. You're like, oh, personally because it was Jason Bateman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love Jason Bateman. Yeah, time he hadn't. He's taken
Speaker 1: on a lot more roles as an asshole lately, but
Speaker 1: at the time he hadn't. So it was like, I know,
Speaker 1: but I think worked. That plot line worked really well
Speaker 1: for the film. Yeah, and I I totally appreciate that.
Speaker 1: That's I feel like it's a layer of kind of
Speaker 1: sexual harassment or just a grossness that gets lost a lot,
Speaker 1: Like we we always amplify it, but there are these
Speaker 1: other little things where you just think, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go listen to music, right, and then this other guy
Speaker 1: with a wife. Yes, you know, it's just yeah, those
Speaker 1: are really uncomfortable. It's really uncomfortable for me in a
Speaker 1: movie where it's starts out as ambiguous and you're just
Speaker 1: as an audience going no, no, no, no no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no no no, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, no, don't, don't. Yes,
Speaker 1: please don't go that way. Please. Sometimes they don't. Oh
Speaker 1: thank god, Um, what it was that I saw recently
Speaker 1: where the exact not that exact thing, but it was
Speaker 1: sort of the same kind of situation where it did
Speaker 1: not go that way, and Emily and I were both like,
Speaker 1: oh thank god. It was just it can be such
Speaker 1: a relief. Yeah, you're like, oh wow, this is a
Speaker 1: lot though that it's like a huge relief that someone
Speaker 1: is just normal and not agree yes exactly exactly that
Speaker 1: should be the default. Yes, I have like a tam
Speaker 1: or version of that wherever anytime I see like a
Speaker 1: healthy family relationship for like with parents or something, it's
Speaker 1: it's more refreshing than it should be, like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is a happy, healthy family. There's a port each other,
Speaker 1: like which one is the serial killer? Yes, but that's
Speaker 1: kind of movies too, you know, very few times, right,
Speaker 1: yea happen? Let me see here, Cat's noses Katherine Johnson
Speaker 1: from Hidden Figures badass by being a genius in doing
Speaker 1: her best in an awful environment. Yes, she got a
Speaker 1: lot of loves for that one, Jessica Foley says, and
Speaker 1: not Harry Potter. How do you pronounce Granger's first name? Hermione? Hermione,
Speaker 1: Granger's the entire series. I'm not kidding. She's such a badass,
Speaker 1: and there's no way that Harry Potter could have been
Speaker 1: successful without her. Oh he They would have all died
Speaker 1: without her, for sure. I know I'm going to have
Speaker 1: to get into those at some point. The clock is sticking,
Speaker 1: I hope. So I have so much I could say.
Speaker 1: I know they're supposed to be great, So it's not
Speaker 1: like I'm dreading it, but I just kind of joke
Speaker 1: around a lot about it because I missed it out
Speaker 1: on that whole cultural phenomenon. Yeah, I was like, I
Speaker 1: graduated when the last book came out. I graduated high
Speaker 1: school and the last book came out, and I graduated
Speaker 1: college when the last movie came out. So I was that, yes,
Speaker 1: And I love when I tell younger people. I my
Speaker 1: nephew who's about eight or nine, he's getting into it
Speaker 1: right now, and he treats me like, I am, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what was it like? We waited in line
Speaker 1: at bookstores at midnight? Oh yes, that is so cool.
Speaker 1: From Prisoner of Azka Van all the way to the
Speaker 1: from the third one to the seventh one. I waited,
Speaker 1: Well anything where you're you're getting young children reading, like
Speaker 1: those books are five pages longer I think, or the
Speaker 1: Phoenix is almost nine hundred pages. And we would stay
Speaker 1: up like I have pictures of almost everyone. You know,
Speaker 1: five am. We've been reading all my friends and I
Speaker 1: just sitting around reading yes, and like trying to beat
Speaker 1: each other like don't yes, I want to know what
Speaker 1: happens first. You look covering like the fast readers crying.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh no, exactly that happened one time, and
Speaker 1: we're like, oh no, no, yes, I love it. Ramsey
Speaker 1: is your daughter into Harry Potter? She is not. It's
Speaker 1: on the bookshelf. She is. She's seven, so she's she's
Speaker 1: almost there. Yeah, that's about the age right, Yeah, they
Speaker 1: get pretty, they get pretty scary for sure. Yeah, especially
Speaker 1: like the fourth one is a pretty big turning point
Speaker 1: where it becomes oh, people are dying. Okay, it starts
Speaker 1: off with his parents dying. It does, but that's kind
Speaker 1: of like the first page and then nothing. Spoilers. Spoilers,
Speaker 1: All right, let me take through a few more of
Speaker 1: these and then we'll move on. Angelo Chebiz ays, uh,
Speaker 1: Charlie's Thearren for Atomic Blonde instead of the Mad Max movie.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Yeah, I mean she's a badass. I didn't
Speaker 1: see Asamic Blonde I want to. Yeah, it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Bobby Bryant Linda Hamilton's finally Sarah Connor in the Terminator franchise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. And then of course Luis Silva, one of
Speaker 1: our old friends, says Sigourney Weaver, an alien that she
Speaker 1: makes that whole series awesome. Yes, yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of Sarah Connors, Ripley's, Furiosa, Hannah's and the Bride Oh
Speaker 1: kill Bill, Yeah, oh here we go. But speaking to
Speaker 1: my heart M. D. Charn Lee says, Clarice Starling and
Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs straight face with lecture and took
Speaker 1: down Buffalo Bill in the Dark. Yeah, that is very,
Speaker 1: very true. Yes, Karrie mcquaide, says Emily Blunt and Edge
Speaker 1: of Tomorrow. She was pretty great in that. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is a good one. Even the quiet place too, when yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that's true. Yeah, boy that there are certain scenes,
Speaker 1: physical things that happened, shots and needles and then that
Speaker 1: nail step. I can't do it, Ramsey shaking. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was bad. It was bad. That's a funny. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a funny movie experience though, because my stomach
Speaker 1: was growling. Really it's mostly quiet. People were looking around
Speaker 1: like your stomach was not the quiet place. It was
Speaker 1: not happy exactly. So did you just giggle every time
Speaker 1: I have I'm kind of sunk lower in my seat
Speaker 1: and trying to counter you can stop a stomach from
Speaker 1: growling and all sorts of angles. And then I was like,
Speaker 1: I guess I could get popcorn. And then I thought,
Speaker 1: well popcorn also because sometimes your stomach is like Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was an interesting situation, your experience. Yeah. So, Ramsey,
Speaker 1: do you have a favorite female badass character. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: some of the people mentioned some of mine. Dolly parton
Speaker 1: nine to five. Yeah, sure, Yeah, that was like one
Speaker 1: of the videos so great. Yeah, Parents Without Us Watch
Speaker 1: When We Were Kids was mad and then Dadney Coleman
Speaker 1: to one of the original great creeps. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of creepy stuff in that movie.
Speaker 1: I mean, just jolly partner in general. I mean, she's
Speaker 1: she's always been one of a she's amazing, she's amazing.
Speaker 1: Um Francis McDorman and Fargo's and um actually broke down
Speaker 1: a couple. So yeah, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: I think making uh Fargo, her character pregnant was just
Speaker 1: this little stroke of genius. Uh. It just sort of
Speaker 1: changed everything, And but they didn't. It wasn't like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at this pregnant woman who was soldiering on because
Speaker 1: she was just so every day about it all, like
Speaker 1: she was just doing her job, not making a big
Speaker 1: deal about it. It was just a part of what
Speaker 1: was going on in her life. That's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies. I still crack up every time at the
Speaker 1: end when at the wood Chipper. Yeah, she's yelling and
Speaker 1: then she she has her gun in two hands and
Speaker 1: she quickly points at the badge on her hat. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that movie until pretty recently and n Sierra
Speaker 1: Tan Sierra. I didn't know Steve or Chevy. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: funny looking how oh just sort of in a general way.
Speaker 1: I've seen Fargo way too many times, one of my favors.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna finish out with a very quick
Speaker 1: stream this and then Comic Car because I told everyone
Speaker 1: you were coming on Annie and you're a fan. Favorite.
Speaker 1: Comic card is when we answer questions, and I said,
Speaker 1: throw Annie or Annie specific questions for a little a
Speaker 1: M A or a A A. Ask Annie anything but quickly.
Speaker 1: What are you? What have you been watching? What are
Speaker 1: you streaming these days? I just finished bo Jack Horseman
Speaker 1: the final season. Um. I thought it was very poignants
Speaker 1: and it was well done. It ended pretty much as
Speaker 1: well as it could have. I guess like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I have you seen it? Yeah? And I had him
Speaker 1: in here, I had the lead ender in here. Who, well,
Speaker 1: the computer is good studio, right, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I kind of appreciate that they didn't. There wasn't resolution
Speaker 1: per se um, which is really rare. Hard scare quotes, everybody, yes,
Speaker 1: very hard scare quotes. Yes. Um, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like you don't see that story enough. Like he
Speaker 1: you forget he's the main character. You're meant to sympathize
Speaker 1: with him. But he did all of these horrible things
Speaker 1: and he left all of this damage in his wake,
Speaker 1: and so there's a part of you that wanted to
Speaker 1: him to get forgiveness. But then there's another part of
Speaker 1: you like, but should you? Though, right, I need to
Speaker 1: finish that one up. Yeah, it's really good, it's really beautiful, Ramsey,
Speaker 1: what have you been watching? I recently watched Well Groomed
Speaker 1: on HBO, documentary about the dog groomers. It's like competitive
Speaker 1: dog grooming. Um, so it has like the same vein
Speaker 1: as I would expected to hear that. You know. No,
Speaker 1: it was like Sunday morning and I wanted something to
Speaker 1: the TV while I was cooking breakfast, and I was like,
Speaker 1: just put it on, and then I didn't know you
Speaker 1: were a groomy. Yeah, well it's the same, like type
Speaker 1: of it is a documentary, so it's not a documentary,
Speaker 1: but it's similar to the Best of show. It's the
Speaker 1: same type of people. Yeah, yeah, they make fun of there,
Speaker 1: but it's it's actually pretty entertaining. It kept my my
Speaker 1: daughter entertained. And then as well as my wife, Um,
Speaker 1: and then I actually texted Annie. I recently rewatched Cabin
Speaker 1: in the Woods. I've only seen that once. I loved it.
Speaker 1: I should get another. Yeah, yeah, so good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just finished up. I'm watching High Maintenance, of course
Speaker 1: in real time, my favorite show on TV, and I
Speaker 1: just finished. Um. Emilyna had to go back and finish
Speaker 1: up the final two episodes of Better Things, which is
Speaker 1: probably a top five show for me as well. Pama
Speaker 1: Pamela ad laon Fantastic one of my favorite favorite shows.
Speaker 1: Just so much heart and again another great story about
Speaker 1: a woman, a single mom, raising daughters and how tough
Speaker 1: that is and each daughter. It's like over the seasons
Speaker 1: of Well the where the oldest to the oldest in
Speaker 1: the middle have been, it's interesting to see them phase
Speaker 1: through life. Like the oldest daughter in the first seasons
Speaker 1: was the pain in the ass because she was the teenager,
Speaker 1: and now she's gotten to an age where she's still
Speaker 1: a bit of a pain, but she's sort of coming
Speaker 1: around like kids do with their parents. The middle daughter
Speaker 1: when this last season is the one that's troubled and
Speaker 1: she has a really hard time with her but they're
Speaker 1: all such great characters. And then the little girls just
Speaker 1: such a little precious sweet pea that like, she's the
Speaker 1: cutest little girl ever. Just want to put her in
Speaker 1: your pocket. And Emily and are both like, please, don't
Speaker 1: let duke go bad. No, just let her stay sweet.
Speaker 1: That's a tough when you're watching children and rolls and
Speaker 1: you're like, where are they going to take? Yeah? Alright,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna finish up with comment card. Let me
Speaker 1: see here. Charles martin Acres, one of our old friends, says,
Speaker 1: as an actor and podcaster, what obstacles have you run
Speaker 1: into in those industries? I have three younger sisters, have
Speaker 1: two talented daughters, and my wife is a boss. But
Speaker 1: I always wonder how I can help my daughters to succeed.
Speaker 1: Great question question, Oh my gosh, I don't want to
Speaker 1: ruin your daddle's lives. Um. I obstacles, definitely. I struggled with, um,
Speaker 1: should I do I belong? Do I have a voice?
Speaker 1: I guess imposter syndrome sort of of. I never had
Speaker 1: training or anything, and I know, but I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I started as an intern and I had to collect apple.
Speaker 1: I do you remember that you said email you guys like,
Speaker 1: send me the description of your shows. You've come along
Speaker 1: way I have, um, And because of that, I think
Speaker 1: I felt a lot of doubt about should I be here,
Speaker 1: can I do this? Will someone eventually realized, oh she's
Speaker 1: not good and get her out? Yeah? Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: felt that way a little bit because none of us were.
Speaker 1: We all kind of fell into this. Yes. Um. I
Speaker 1: didn't have any experience doing it either, and I consistently
Speaker 1: I'm like, when is when are people going to figure
Speaker 1: this out? When is the jig up? Exactly? Every suddenly
Speaker 1: like cops warm your desk, you see, you're all fake?
Speaker 1: You go to a podcaster school exactly. I forgot you
Speaker 1: started out as an intern. That is crazy. Oh I
Speaker 1: did remember you said that I played pranks on Connal.
Speaker 1: That was one of the first things because our old
Speaker 1: boss Rock Sand used to live pranking him and as
Speaker 1: the intern, I usually had to pull these off. And
Speaker 1: my favorite one we ever did, Hey cadle realizing I
Speaker 1: put a walkie talkie under his desk and she would
Speaker 1: randomly make ghost sounds the other walkie talk That's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: It was a great when you started. I was in college.
Speaker 1: I was um. And definitely as far as acting goes,
Speaker 1: we've already touched on a lot of issues there for women.
Speaker 1: But it is it's changing, but you'll still get like
Speaker 1: some somebody told me on set, some man told me,
Speaker 1: isn't it weird to be in an industry where it's
Speaker 1: all about your looks? And I was like, maybe don't,
Speaker 1: maybe don't um and he they ended up replacing me
Speaker 1: with a man for that role. Really um and things
Speaker 1: like that. Definitely the sort of vibe of I've run
Speaker 1: into multiple times of people being like, oh, maybe I
Speaker 1: can date this person, like it's almost like a dating
Speaker 1: thing and then if you're not into that and goodbye
Speaker 1: to the rule. Yeah. Um. So it's I think having
Speaker 1: a good support group. Um. And and in any way
Speaker 1: that you can like finding women, strong women or whatever,
Speaker 1: doing things that show younger people, younger women in particular,
Speaker 1: you can do this. It is a thing that women
Speaker 1: can do. If you can give examples of that, I
Speaker 1: think that's a really good thing. Good answer, Oh thank you.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. Sarah Aggie says, what is your
Speaker 1: favorite aspect aspect of filmmaking? Do you like acting best
Speaker 1: or would you just prefer behind the scenes sort of role.
Speaker 1: I love acting. I love getting into like trying to
Speaker 1: live someone else's life for a minute. I love that
Speaker 1: and I find I get such a rush out of it.
Speaker 1: It is really difficult sometimes and it can be really painful, um,
Speaker 1: but I do really enjoy it. I also love writing,
Speaker 1: so that is something I am. If I had to
Speaker 1: choose the two things, I love acting and I love writing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love writing too. I know is I catch myself like,
Speaker 1: instead of I'm up too late watching something, I'm up
Speaker 1: too late writing. That's great, And a lot of times
Speaker 1: I'm writing things that are not. I have no intention
Speaker 1: of publishing, not going to go anywhere. I just like
Speaker 1: writing here. Uh, Sarah Law, one of our oldest friends,
Speaker 1: this is a great question. Do you hate being asked
Speaker 1: for a woman's opinion instead of just your opinion? Very
Speaker 1: good point, it is. I sometimes I especially love because
Speaker 1: I work on a podcast that is all about women
Speaker 1: and feminism. I love when I get randomly ten twenty
Speaker 1: text what do you think about this thing that just
Speaker 1: happened that has got the cultural attention whatever? Exactly like?
Speaker 1: And I'm you know, I appreciate that. I understand that
Speaker 1: it is kind of funny, like I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really have any authority to way and all these things,
Speaker 1: I suppose, but I can. Uh, well, you're the co
Speaker 1: host of a feminist show. It's true, you know your
Speaker 1: take on those kind of things exactly. It's just funny.
Speaker 1: It's it's an interesting aspect of the job. I suppose.
Speaker 1: I I usually, I guess I don't mind so much
Speaker 1: being asked, except when I'm like noticing there are no
Speaker 1: other women, right then? Yeah, you're the token right yeah?
Speaker 1: And then that plays back into the imposter syndrome again.
Speaker 1: Would I even be here unless they needed a woman? Um?
Speaker 1: So it's I do appreciate when I get the sense
Speaker 1: that someone is honestly trying to understand something that maybe
Speaker 1: they didn't. Um. But if I on the other side
Speaker 1: of it, if I get the sense they don't really
Speaker 1: care and it's sort of like a token gesture and
Speaker 1: question or whatever it might be, I don't like that. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: now I realized that I'm like, let's do a show
Speaker 1: about the female perspective. Since Annie's here, I'll talk about
Speaker 1: the female perspective. At any time. I had good intentions there, asshole,
Speaker 1: good questions. Here's the savor related when Jonathan Cooley says,
Speaker 1: I live in Birmingham but make the short trip to
Speaker 1: Atlanta frequently as a foodie and to filmy What is
Speaker 1: your favorite Atlanta restaurant in movie theater? Oh? Oh dang
Speaker 1: Ramsey is light leaning and looking at me. Atlanta is
Speaker 1: such a great food town. Now it is. I actually
Speaker 1: have a map, and should you desire it, I have
Speaker 1: an Atlanta map. You can email Saver at hello at
Speaker 1: savor pod dot com and I will send it to you.
Speaker 1: What is on this map? It has all of my
Speaker 1: favorite restaurants and bars and things to do. That map, Oh,
Speaker 1: I can send it. I have it ready to go
Speaker 1: because it is really hard. Two favorites are difficult and
Speaker 1: keep asking them of me. But I, um, there are
Speaker 1: a couple of restaurants I really love. I love um
Speaker 1: handcooked Takaria of Heirloom Barbecue, which is a little bit
Speaker 1: of a hike hand cook off, Holla mill Yes, two words,
Speaker 1: Sessa me fries, Sessa me fries. Right. They catered our
Speaker 1: wedding really yeah yeah, we had a taco bar cook
Speaker 1: and some burritos from them. You did the right thing,
Speaker 1: You did the right thing. The owner there Um, when
Speaker 1: we were makeing stuff. You should know TV show. We
Speaker 1: went in there a few times for a little production
Speaker 1: lunches and he remembers me from that. I went in
Speaker 1: there a few weeks ago for the first time in
Speaker 1: probably a year or more, and he said, hey, man,
Speaker 1: that's gone. You still got the TV show. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, you're sweetheart. It's very bad. Those
Speaker 1: fries don't travel well though. Man agreed. They're not great reheating.
Speaker 1: You gotta eat them there. Yes, good, yes, so good, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I love, um, what else? The porter? I love Boca Lupo.
Speaker 1: I haven't been to bocal Upo yet. Good, so good.
Speaker 1: I kind of go to two for six for Italian Yes, um,
Speaker 1: Boca Upo. The black Ink spaghetti. I have the Black
Speaker 1: Ink at two for six. It's one of my favorite dishes.
Speaker 1: You gotta go. What do I start it with? Shrimper? Yes, shrimp,
Speaker 1: and it's spicy, really get spicy, like red pepper in there.
Speaker 1: I'm hung right now. It's not that far from Yeah.
Speaker 1: What else I'm trying to think too. I mean there's
Speaker 1: plenty of great barbecue. Of course, community barbecue I think
Speaker 1: is the best. If if you're looking for Southern food,
Speaker 1: what would you think? Well, I mean it depends if
Speaker 1: you want to go old school cafeteria style, go to
Speaker 1: the Colonnade, which you know you'll be the only person
Speaker 1: under seventy years old eating there. You can also get
Speaker 1: a like a eight ounce liquor drink, like eight ounces
Speaker 1: of liquor they pour the stiff of the Colonnade. The
Speaker 1: one I used to go to all the time was
Speaker 1: Sons in inmand Park, which was a meet and three
Speaker 1: that is now a bakery right there in the corner
Speaker 1: by the Martest station. So Sons is gone, which is
Speaker 1: a bummer. But it depends on like there's two southerns
Speaker 1: there's barbecue, and there's meeting threes. And if you're listening
Speaker 1: and you're like, what the hell is a meeting three,
Speaker 1: it's sort of a cafeteria style where you're like, I'll
Speaker 1: have the fried chicken or the um whatever meat and
Speaker 1: then the three are your three heavily salted and buttered. Again, Yes,
Speaker 1: that means like I'll have the back and cheese. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese. Very loose definition of veggies. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: you know what's good too? Is a Golden Eagle. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: really good stuff. They're in a very cool bar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like very sort of fifties madmen. Yeah, that's one of
Speaker 1: a I feel like a couple of restaurants like that
Speaker 1: opened kind of in quick succession of this kind of
Speaker 1: lodge movie s like when you walk in, you feel
Speaker 1: like you're in a different time and totally Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Golden Eagle is really good. But Atlanta, I mean there's
Speaker 1: five or six new great restaurants that open a month, yeah,
Speaker 1: and a couple of clothes every month. It's just sort
Speaker 1: of that restaurant thing. It's a tough business, yeah, and
Speaker 1: it is a really exciting food scene. Actually, for Saver,
Speaker 1: we're thinking about doing Normally we try avel to place
Speaker 1: and we do ten episodes from that place. We're thinking
Speaker 1: about doing Atlanta in towards the end of the year
Speaker 1: because there is so much to talk about here and
Speaker 1: it would be nice because we know the area, like
Speaker 1: we're starting from a pretty good foundation. But yeah, that
Speaker 1: the options are endless, and if you would like the map,
Speaker 1: I will send it to you. As far as theaters go,
Speaker 1: I walk everywhere and Landmark is my favorite Virginia Highlands here. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: very walkable part of town. Yes, so anywhere I can
Speaker 1: walk is my favorite place. So the Plaza and Midtown
Speaker 1: Arts plus is great. Yes, Midtown Arts is great, two
Speaker 1: of my favorites. Yeah. They and they also do for
Speaker 1: anyone not from Atlanta. They do a lot of movies
Speaker 1: you won't find at other theaters, right of course. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: good stuff. All right, Tommy Short. So we're going to
Speaker 1: finish with Vicky Strickland's question, what is your Hogwarts house?
Speaker 1: Griffin door, through and through? Although there is a hack
Speaker 1: you can see your percentages. I don't know any of those, okay,
Speaker 1: so you take this test, I know what percentages are. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: and we're starting from there. Um. So on the official
Speaker 1: Potter More website, you take a test to find out
Speaker 1: what house you're in, which is essentially like the dorm
Speaker 1: you're gonna sleep in, and it's based on traits like
Speaker 1: courage and okay, so you're you can see the percentages
Speaker 1: of how close you got into every house with this hack,
Speaker 1: and I am like Si Griffin or and then slithering,
Speaker 1: which is not good. It's not that it's not good,
Speaker 1: it's just they're kind of a post um and the
Speaker 1: books they're definitely painted as like the not good house.
Speaker 1: They're they're ambitious and sly and cunning, and most of
Speaker 1: the students that you do not like are portrayed from
Speaker 1: slytherind I bet you there's a way of retrofitting that
Speaker 1: into a football. Um understand you might not know, right,
Speaker 1: we can we can cross and be like Chuck. That's
Speaker 1: like saying Eagles fan versus or whatever. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of more great questions on here, so
Speaker 1: maybe we'll try and sneak some of these in on
Speaker 1: the next one, or just have you back when nol'sun around.
Speaker 1: I would love it. All right. Well, thank you Annie,
