You don't like Mondays? No, 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.040 it's a Mama's MoMA's in the Puppet song. Oh and 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.040 there's there's also that Boomtown Rats song. I don't know 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.879 why I don't like Mondays like that one. That's a 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:44.599 great song. Bob gil loof Um, All right, Noel, how 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.720 are you doing? I'm doing really well. Chuck, how are you? 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.640 I'm great? Is it weird for both of us now 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.360 to be this busy as two dudes who've probably spent 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.240 a lot of their lives speaking for me, but guessing 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.280 about you not being super busy guys, I don't know. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.360 I've always kind of had some balls in the air, 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.640 but now it's are definitely a little a little more 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.640 more balls, a little more juggling and a little less 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.000 just tossing a ball up and down, you know, more balls, everybody, 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.720 a lot of more balls up with balls. So welcome, 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.720 Thanks for the support everyone for these many crushes. We're 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.120 having a good time in here doing these, so we 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.840 appreciate you listening. They're performing just as well as the 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.640 Maxi Crush main interviews, So we really appreciate that. All right, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.600 So we're gonna move on to recommended viewing segment. As 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.919 everyone knows, I do a foreign film recommendation, a documentary 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:41.000 film recommendation, and an independent film recommendation. So we actually 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.960 have a guest this week for the foreign film wreck. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:48.720 Everyone say hello to my boss, the president of our 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.640 podcast network, Mr Connal Burne. Hey, guys, how are you guys? 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.480 I like to refer to him Mr Bell Yep, me too. 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.000 I try that on myself at this weirder when I 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.640 say it. So I decided to bring Connel in here 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.280 because my foreign film pick for this week is a 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.200 movie that he recommended to me years ago. And is 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:13.160 it pronounced cache Cache? Because you speak a little French, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:14.760 right I do. When I was a kid, I was 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.080 when I was turning seventeen, my parents, who are from Ireland, 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.959 uh announced to me that instead of doing the normal 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.200 senior year high school thing, I was going to be 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.920 shipped off to France and put into a French speaking, 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.040 full blown like French school. And so I did that 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.280 for a year, and then for a very brief moment 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.280 of my life for maybe two or three years after that, 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.880 I was fully fluent in French and it was really cool. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.120 It's very weird and cool. How are you down? Uh? 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.799 You know, it's like one of those things like it 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.000 genuinely is a little bit like riding a bicycle, where 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.280 like if you if I read a book in French, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.160 in French or watch a little bit of a movie, 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.760 I'll get a lot more and very quickly ramped back up. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.640 But it's fear, you just fear that I don't know 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.600 how to speak this anymore. But if you're watching in 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.600 French film, do you need to read the subtitles a 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.679 little half and half. I'll try to drift off the 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.240 subtitles for periods of five or ten minutes and I'll 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.720 do just fine. But then you just you obviously lapsed 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.639 back in and start reading them again, thinking that you're 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.640 not capable, and they talk so fast, and you so 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.919 much like slang and just things just pounding words together, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.440 so many fan gestures and spittle. And it's a beautiful 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.200 country a lot of spit alright, So I'll set up 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.280 this movie. Cache is a as a movie from two 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:29.840 thousand five, written directed by an Austrian filmmaker name Michael 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.560 Isn't Hannekey, Michael Hanneke who I don't know what he's 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.119 best known for. Maybe funny games. Yeah, he's best known 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.520 for funny games. Um, he's an original funny Yeah, And 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.840 he just did one more recently that I was just 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.960 trying to look up before this. That one all kinds 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.960 of a more so about I have not seen how 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.440 more to be clear, But he also remade Funny Games 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.720 I've been weird in English. Oh, he did the remake 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.080 he directed. I think I might have known that and forgotten. Yeah. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.960 So he's a bit of a he's a bit of 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.080 a large one Trier, a guy where he's sort of 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.320 like a very good depending on where you come down 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.480 on large one Trier, but a very good director. But 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.720 he was also kind of meta. He's also playing with 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.200 the medium in ways that's that's beyond just I'm gonna 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.320 make an interesting movie that's going to break break the 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.800 fourth wall or something like that. He's also like remaking 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.520 his own movies and then that becomes part of film 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.080 critical critical theory, and so it's very interesting, very interesting guy. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.720 So Cash is a I guess you could call it 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:33.120 a psychological thriller. The Great Juliet Binoche, Maurice Bennett, sure 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.960 go there and Daniel a Toy So like Cash is 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:41.080 for me probably top five ever and has hung out 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.840 there since I saw it, and it in some ways 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.440 it's very obvious. It brings together to the greatest French 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.120 actors ever. No Toy a Toy was well known for 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.520 Man under the Springs or Mental as the French call it, 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.160 which was that huge. I think it was a three 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.280 part three films. They made two or three films they 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:06.880 made uh years ago. They're fantastic films, their period pieces. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.840 But that's what Daniel Latoy came into his own as 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.520 a young actor. He is phenomenal. He sort of took 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.600 the helm from I'm I'm oversimplifying a lot here, but 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.400 like he sort of took the helm from depart j 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:24.120 As as France's great new actor. And Banosha's obviously Binosha, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.760 I mean from she did Blue and on down. She's 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.680 just been lights out incredible. So these two actors come 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.240 together in Cash, which starts out as a very very 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:39.680 unnerving but fairly straightforward thriller where guy's yeah, you've seen it, yeah, 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.200 so like it. It's one of the greatest openings ever right, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.880 like where he's watching a videotape or a tape of 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.880 some kind and it turns out to be his own 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.200 apartment outside the facade of his own apartment that somebody 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:56.040 has filmed. And it's just that incredibly simple act of 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.839 filming where you live and then sending it to someone 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.000 is incredibly unnerving. And that's the kind of thing that 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:04.880 Hannoke is good at. It's like, you don't have to 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.080 necessarily run into a room with a knife and stab 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:12.000 somebody to scare an audience. Very subtle, simple gestures can 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.320 also be terrifying. Oh I think if anybody came home 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.839 found a DVD on their front porch and it was 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.560 film footage of their house, that's there's not many things 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.200 that is more disturbed. Yeah, I mean David Lynch did 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.080 the same thing right where like he had exactly where. 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.720 It's just really just there's nothing remarkable about the footage 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.039 that was mailed to whomever, and that will just locked 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.679 down on a litterally just in lost times, like moving 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.719 through the house, which you're like, it's that it's that 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.000 somebody leaving their thumb print or or imprint on your life. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.920 So it starts off pretty simply. And then where he 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.440 goes with it is not to spoiler it, which I won't, 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:52.400 but he takes it into very, very layered racial issues 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.240 that I will say this, you may only understand if 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.880 you know a French person or have lived in French. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:04.159 In France, you may only understand the riff between For 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.640 for in America, it's it's it's our our racial problem, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.720 which may be one of the original sins of our country. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.400 Some people say, is that is that that chasm between 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.560 races and our country that also exists in France. But 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:21.600 in France it's between um, the Islamic population, the Middle 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.320 Eastern population, and the white population. And so when you 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:31.080 hear things like the Lapin group politically rising in France, 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:36.360 that's their target. Uh. Whereas in America, obviously the Islamic 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.000 and Middle Easterners. Uh, we have similar challenges here that 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.440 we got to overcome as a country. But essentially it's 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.640 our big thing is sort of African Americans and white population. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.800 In France, it's more Middle Easterners, And that's where that 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.560 movie goes. It starts off as a pretty simple thriller, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.480 but it ends up as this very deep story about 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:03.960 really what you might call the original sin of French racism, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:08.160 if you could call it that, it gets so deep. Yeah, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.840 so it's really great. I think it's one of the 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:14.960 great final shots of any movie. But it's just it 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.320 holds it just like holds, and you're looking for something 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.040 that's right. You don't I mean that, this isn't even 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.800 a spoiler. You're literally just the status lockdown shot where 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.160 you're like trying to find what am I supposed to 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 exactly right? And it's it's and it's really like again, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.120 it's Hennecky tipping his hat to maybe a movie like 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.000 The Shining, where you do have that photo at the end, 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:39.160 but it's very resolving. You're like it right in on 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.200 Jack and you're just like, I get it. This is 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.760 a thing. But in Hennecky it's very unsatisfying because you're 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.760 like what because we've been trained through The Shining to 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.320 be like, oh, he's gonna throw up a photo and 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.680 it's going to answer everything. And then he holds on 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.840 it so long and you're like, what am I supposed 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.680 to be seeing? But you know the answers in there 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.880 somewhere and I don't know what it is, but it's 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.720 like given weight by how long he holds, so you're like, 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.480 this mother must be meaning here, otherwise he wouldn't hold 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.640 this damn shot. That's right. Yeah, it's one of those movies. Well, 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.200 and a little bit more about the plat without giving 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.600 it away that the tapes escalate. There are more tapes, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:23.320 um there secrets of the past of this family are revealed, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.200 and it's one of those movies that reveals it stuff 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.240 little by little. And then with this this knockout of 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.839 an ending, which is to say it's the opposite of 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.640 a knockout of an ending, except it's the kind of 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.280 movie where once it ends, you immediately go to your 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:43.160 laptop and start googling cachet ending explained so you can 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.000 try and figure out the movie, like Exit through the 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.240 Gift Shop where like when I finished that one, I 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.560 was just googling for seven hours after like what just happened? Uh? 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.280 And you know, I think the reason that it does 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:59.240 that is because it basically breaks down daniellow Toys character 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.920 on every possible level. It starts off pretty simple where 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.640 it's like you're being stalked. Then it gets into his 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.920 masculinity that there's that moment on the street where he 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.920 he stands, he fronts this guy who nearly runs him 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.640 over on a bike. But the minute the guy stops 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.000 the bike and turns back to Daniel, lo Toy is like, 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.199 you want you want some Daniel Toy backs down immediately. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.240 So it's a story of his masculinity, then it becomes 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.439 a story of his racism. Then it becomes a story 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.520 of his childhood trauma. And it's just like it breaks 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.520 this dude down um in an incredible way where at 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.520 the end of the movie you're just like you kind 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.120 of feel sorry for him, but uh, yeah it's a 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.640 good guy. It's not a good guy. Yeah. I just 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.480 want to see a movie like this. I just think, like, 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.720 how the funk do you sit down and conceive and 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.079 right a film that's so densely layered and so subtle 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:54.200 and impactful. I I don't know the backstory of this movie. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:55.640 I don't know if it was a book before a 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.760 movie or anything like that, but as a script it 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.559 is one of the best. I mean, it is just 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.480 one of the best. And again, I can't you know, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.320 you've got the notion a Toy the powerhouses of French acting, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.760 just enjoying it's soaking up every single scene there in 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:18.680 and it's it's awesome. Um yeah, it's interesting to see 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.520 movies that take a male archetype. I was just thinking 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.560 about this. There was another movie that I can't remember 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.600 the name of right now. I'll think of it. We'll 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.400 edit it in later. But um where it's similar vibe 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.000 where they just took a lead male character and broke 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.280 him down systematically across ninety minutes. It's a cool setup 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.319 for a movie, for sure. Yeah, all right, man, everybody 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.800 go watch Cash all right, I'll see you guys by by. 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.319 I gotta go back to work front of this thing, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.199 all right. And now we're gonna do What's Up Doctor? 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.120 It's our documentary recommendation. I think I just titled that 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.839 this week. By the way, I don't know why I 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.960 think of like to think of dumb little titles like that. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.000 I mean, you know, you're good at it, man, It 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.680 could be just a documentary recommendation, but no, I gotta 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.600 call it What's Up? Doc? This week, I'm gonna talk 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.920 about shut Up a little man. Have you seen this one? No? 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:22.760 But that was a very spirited reading. Well, so it's 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.240 it actually has an exclamation point in the title so 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.960 I heard it. You're required to read it that way. 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.240 So this is I'll know you're gonna You're gonna love 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.959 this one. This is a documentary that was out, um, 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.400 I don't know a few years ago. I didn't look 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.840 at the date, but it was. Here's the story is, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.280 there were these two dudes who moved into an apartment 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:48.440 in San Francisco in the early nineties, and after they 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.760 moved in, it turns out that through their paper thin walls, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:58.640 they realize they lived next door to a couple of argumentative, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:06.520 violent alcoholics. Doesn't sound fun or funny. I mean, I 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.920 can see the potential and it's not. It's a weird 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.680 sort of feeling that it leaves you with because what 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:19.000 they did was they started taping on cassette tapes these arguments. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.280 And it gets the title because one of the guys, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.880 um I used to shout shut up little man was 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.920 one of the things he shouted at his his flatmate. Uh. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.480 So they started there these audio verity recordings that these 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:38.200 guys made on cassette, like I said, and it became 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.480 one of those things in the early nineties. I don't 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.040 I mean you were youngest then, but pre internet, pre YouTube, 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:50.400 things still got around, Like I remember friends sharing video 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.120 tapes of things that they would tape off television, which 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.959 was YouTube, not just like here's this movie, but like, 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.720 here twelve funny things I taped for um the farting 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:07.320 preacher to uh this news anchor that kept sucking up 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.640 on the air and melted down like things that you 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.520 see on YouTube today. Things got around still pre internet. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.679 Uh and audio cassettes was one way that this happened, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.200 Like do you remember the Jerky Boys? I heard The 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.280 Jerky Boys for the first time sitting in a car 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.000 in a parking lot on a cassette that had been 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.120 passed around through friends, and then it later became like 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.320 a real movie and stuff which actually never saw so funny. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:36.160 I used to exchange Smashing Pumpkins bootlegs with people on 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.800 the internet. We would mail them to each other. The 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.840 best part was they'd fill the empty spots on the 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.040 like the leftover tape with just whatever they wanted, right, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.840 So I discovered a lot of cool new music just 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.160 from like training these bootlegs. Yeah, it was funny because 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.320 it was a feeling that that tape space was had 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.240 values which did so like I'm not gonna leave like 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.520 twenty minutes of unused tape. I'll just throw some ship 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.600 on there. Not anymore though, that's great, No no value 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.040 to take anymore. That's not true. Uh So, Anyway, these 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.840 guys made these recordings. Part of the documentary is the 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.600 story of these two gentlemen who lived next door that 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:16.120 they surreptitiously recorded. Part of it is then the life 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.840 that these tapes took on, because uh it kind of 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.840 got passed around and got passed around, became a viral 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:28.480 sensation in the analog era before things were called viral sensations, 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.120 and they ended up having about fourteen hours of tape, 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.680 and they it became you know, a music label put 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.000 out a CD of it. It became a comic book. Um, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.560 a play was produced based around this. Devo recorded a 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.880 song about this. It really spread around sort of the 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:51.200 underground community of San Francisco and beyond. But then you 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.120 have this background of but this is these are tapes 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.520 of these two guys who are alcoholics and and fight 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.840 constant at least, so it's has this weird sad element too, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.920 because you also hear about their story and the fact 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.240 of like that weird question of like wait a minute, 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.600 this is their life that you've ripped off and are broadcasting. Now. Yeah, 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.840 sort of that grizzly Man question from the last episode, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:20.360 like is its pure kind of creepy voyeurism, Like what's 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.720 the value in this other than entertainment? And where is 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.600 the line? And should these guys have even made these tapes? 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.000 So that it introduces a lot of questions. It's really 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.400 really good. I'm just reading a little synopsis online and 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.320 hearing you talk about it. I'm really I'm interested for sure. Yeah, 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.600 it's definitely worth watching, so shut up little man? Is 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:43.160 the What's Up? Doc recommendation? And finally moving on to 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:49.680 Independence Day, you have to keep explaining how that's spelled. 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.400 You're talking about the movie with Will Smith, right, God, 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.200 we should do that every time. I think we probably 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.120 will Independence E E N t Apostrophe s As an 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.800 independent film. I'm going with Short Term twelve. You've seen 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.040 that one? No, I never heard of? Oh man, this 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.080 is from a few years ago, uh, starring Bree Larson, 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:16.639 John Gallagher Jr. Caitlin uh Deva or Deever, Rommy Malick 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:22.160 from Mr Robot Uh. And then the Great Lakeith Stanfield 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.440 from Get Out he's in it, and I think I 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:26.680 don't know what the first thing he was in, first 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.480 thing I saw him in, but written directed by a 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.720 man named Destin Daniel Kreton or Creton c R E T. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.360 T O N. He's from Hawaii. But here's the deal. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.040 He went to college in San Diego, was a filmmaking 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.919 student and hobbyists and at the same time worked at 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.640 a group home group home for at risk teenagers as 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.399 a I don't know if he got paid repews, just 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.080 a volunteer, but he was making these short films. He 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:58.080 eventually made a short film about um his group home, 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.119 and I believe his group home called short Term twelve 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.760 as in it was the number twelve in the series 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.439 of short term homes for these kids in in that city. 0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:12.439 And he ended up making it into a feature film. 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:20.840 And it is phenomenal and emotionally devastating and draining and 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.399 uplifting all at the same time. If you like independent films, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.160 it has all the hallmarks of independent film. You feel 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:33.119 like it's really happening. The acting is great Brie Larson, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.360 It's just she's one of the best of her generation's 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.280 fantastic was she was on United United States of Tara. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.440 Emily watched that. I didn't watch that. It was before 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.240 she got really huge. She was the daughter she I 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:48.639 really liked that show a lot. Yeah, Emily loved it, 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.680 and I love Tony Collette. So I don't know why 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.600 I never watched it. I think it's one of those 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.080 where she started, I got behind and I was like, 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.480 I'm not gonna catch up. That's it's too much stuff 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:00.359 to consume too. It's like you can't to do it 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.399 all much. I saw the funny Onion headline the other 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.360 day said Aria Man no longer taking TV show recommendations. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.800 Uh So, anyway, short term twelve um obviously said in 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.840 that group home for troubled teens, there's a story of 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.680 the teens themselves, um, one of which is takes part 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.239 in self harm cutting. Um. She has to deal with that. 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.520 Bree Larson has her own uh story going on, as 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.760 in a relationship with her boyfriend who she doesn't she 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:39.000 won't open up to him emotionally, yet she will do 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.480 this job and maybe that's why where it is all 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.240 emotion uh So, it sort of tells the story of 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.720 her relationship as she's working at this place, as she's 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.880 dealing with his pregnancy, and it's just so hardcore, deals 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:56.760 with abuse, neglect, mental illness, but again also uplifting in 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.000 many ways. Just such a such a great, great small movie. 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.960 I couldn't recommend it enough. It's almost like required viewing, 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.720 you know, all right, it's one of those I guess 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.520 I'm required to view it, all right. Now we'll move 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:16.320 on to social studies social movie crush, where I post 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:21.240 Facebook queries two you, the listening audience, all my pals 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.360 out there in movie crush and movie crusher Land.

Yeah. Um. 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.000 He did a show on Adult Swim called The Chick China, Illinois. 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.560 He's got some weird cartoons.
