Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to Movie Crush Mini Crush Edition Monday. Monday,
Speaker 1: I can't stand that day. You don't like Mondays? No,
Speaker 1: it's a Mama's MoMA's in the Puppet song. Oh and
Speaker 1: there's there's also that Boomtown Rats song. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I don't like Mondays like that one. That's a
Speaker 1: great song. Bob gil loof Um, All right, Noel, how
Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm doing really well. Chuck, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm great? Is it weird for both of us now
Speaker 1: to be this busy as two dudes who've probably spent
Speaker 1: a lot of their lives speaking for me, but guessing
Speaker 1: about you not being super busy guys, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've always kind of had some balls in the air,
Speaker 1: but now it's are definitely a little a little more
Speaker 1: more balls, a little more juggling and a little less
Speaker 1: just tossing a ball up and down, you know, more balls, everybody,
Speaker 1: a lot of more balls up with balls. So welcome,
Speaker 1: Thanks for the support everyone for these many crushes. We're
Speaker 1: having a good time in here doing these, so we
Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. They're performing just as well as the
Speaker 1: Maxi Crush main interviews, So we really appreciate that. All right,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna move on to recommended viewing segment. As
Speaker 1: everyone knows, I do a foreign film recommendation, a documentary
Speaker 1: film recommendation, and an independent film recommendation. So we actually
Speaker 1: have a guest this week for the foreign film wreck.
Speaker 1: Everyone say hello to my boss, the president of our
Speaker 1: podcast network, Mr Connal Burne. Hey, guys, how are you guys?
Speaker 1: I like to refer to him Mr Bell Yep, me too.
Speaker 1: I try that on myself at this weirder when I
Speaker 1: say it. So I decided to bring Connel in here
Speaker 1: because my foreign film pick for this week is a
Speaker 1: movie that he recommended to me years ago. And is
Speaker 1: it pronounced cache Cache? Because you speak a little French,
Speaker 1: right I do. When I was a kid, I was
Speaker 1: when I was turning seventeen, my parents, who are from Ireland,
Speaker 1: uh announced to me that instead of doing the normal
Speaker 1: senior year high school thing, I was going to be
Speaker 1: shipped off to France and put into a French speaking,
Speaker 1: full blown like French school. And so I did that
Speaker 1: for a year, and then for a very brief moment
Speaker 1: of my life for maybe two or three years after that,
Speaker 1: I was fully fluent in French and it was really cool.
Speaker 1: It's very weird and cool. How are you down? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, it's like one of those things like it
Speaker 1: genuinely is a little bit like riding a bicycle, where
Speaker 1: like if you if I read a book in French,
Speaker 1: in French or watch a little bit of a movie,
Speaker 1: I'll get a lot more and very quickly ramped back up.
Speaker 1: But it's fear, you just fear that I don't know
Speaker 1: how to speak this anymore. But if you're watching in
Speaker 1: French film, do you need to read the subtitles a
Speaker 1: little half and half. I'll try to drift off the
Speaker 1: subtitles for periods of five or ten minutes and I'll
Speaker 1: do just fine. But then you just you obviously lapsed
Speaker 1: back in and start reading them again, thinking that you're
Speaker 1: not capable, and they talk so fast, and you so
Speaker 1: much like slang and just things just pounding words together,
Speaker 1: so many fan gestures and spittle. And it's a beautiful
Speaker 1: country a lot of spit alright, So I'll set up
Speaker 1: this movie. Cache is a as a movie from two
Speaker 1: thousand five, written directed by an Austrian filmmaker name Michael
Speaker 1: Isn't Hannekey, Michael Hanneke who I don't know what he's
Speaker 1: best known for. Maybe funny games. Yeah, he's best known
Speaker 1: for funny games. Um, he's an original funny Yeah, And
Speaker 1: he just did one more recently that I was just
Speaker 1: trying to look up before this. That one all kinds
Speaker 1: of a more so about I have not seen how
Speaker 1: more to be clear, But he also remade Funny Games
Speaker 1: I've been weird in English. Oh, he did the remake
Speaker 1: he directed. I think I might have known that and forgotten. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's a bit of a he's a bit of
Speaker 1: a large one Trier, a guy where he's sort of
Speaker 1: like a very good depending on where you come down
Speaker 1: on large one Trier, but a very good director. But
Speaker 1: he was also kind of meta. He's also playing with
Speaker 1: the medium in ways that's that's beyond just I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make an interesting movie that's going to break break the
Speaker 1: fourth wall or something like that. He's also like remaking
Speaker 1: his own movies and then that becomes part of film
Speaker 1: critical critical theory, and so it's very interesting, very interesting guy.
Speaker 1: So Cash is a I guess you could call it
Speaker 1: a psychological thriller. The Great Juliet Binoche, Maurice Bennett, sure
Speaker 1: go there and Daniel a Toy So like Cash is
Speaker 1: for me probably top five ever and has hung out
Speaker 1: there since I saw it, and it in some ways
Speaker 1: it's very obvious. It brings together to the greatest French
Speaker 1: actors ever. No Toy a Toy was well known for
Speaker 1: Man under the Springs or Mental as the French call it,
Speaker 1: which was that huge. I think it was a three
Speaker 1: part three films. They made two or three films they
Speaker 1: made uh years ago. They're fantastic films, their period pieces.
Speaker 1: But that's what Daniel Latoy came into his own as
Speaker 1: a young actor. He is phenomenal. He sort of took
Speaker 1: the helm from I'm I'm oversimplifying a lot here, but
Speaker 1: like he sort of took the helm from depart j
Speaker 1: As as France's great new actor. And Banosha's obviously Binosha,
Speaker 1: I mean from she did Blue and on down. She's
Speaker 1: just been lights out incredible. So these two actors come
Speaker 1: together in Cash, which starts out as a very very
Speaker 1: unnerving but fairly straightforward thriller where guy's yeah, you've seen it, yeah,
Speaker 1: so like it. It's one of the greatest openings ever right,
Speaker 1: like where he's watching a videotape or a tape of
Speaker 1: some kind and it turns out to be his own
Speaker 1: apartment outside the facade of his own apartment that somebody
Speaker 1: has filmed. And it's just that incredibly simple act of
Speaker 1: filming where you live and then sending it to someone
Speaker 1: is incredibly unnerving. And that's the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: Hannoke is good at. It's like, you don't have to
Speaker 1: necessarily run into a room with a knife and stab
Speaker 1: somebody to scare an audience. Very subtle, simple gestures can
Speaker 1: also be terrifying. Oh I think if anybody came home
Speaker 1: found a DVD on their front porch and it was
Speaker 1: film footage of their house, that's there's not many things
Speaker 1: that is more disturbed. Yeah, I mean David Lynch did
Speaker 1: the same thing right where like he had exactly where.
Speaker 1: It's just really just there's nothing remarkable about the footage
Speaker 1: that was mailed to whomever, and that will just locked
Speaker 1: down on a litterally just in lost times, like moving
Speaker 1: through the house, which you're like, it's that it's that
Speaker 1: somebody leaving their thumb print or or imprint on your life.
Speaker 1: So it starts off pretty simply. And then where he
Speaker 1: goes with it is not to spoiler it, which I won't,
Speaker 1: but he takes it into very, very layered racial issues
Speaker 1: that I will say this, you may only understand if
Speaker 1: you know a French person or have lived in French.
Speaker 1: In France, you may only understand the riff between For
Speaker 1: for in America, it's it's it's our our racial problem,
Speaker 1: which may be one of the original sins of our country.
Speaker 1: Some people say, is that is that that chasm between
Speaker 1: races and our country that also exists in France. But
Speaker 1: in France it's between um, the Islamic population, the Middle
Speaker 1: Eastern population, and the white population. And so when you
Speaker 1: hear things like the Lapin group politically rising in France,
Speaker 1: that's their target. Uh. Whereas in America, obviously the Islamic
Speaker 1: and Middle Easterners. Uh, we have similar challenges here that
Speaker 1: we got to overcome as a country. But essentially it's
Speaker 1: our big thing is sort of African Americans and white population.
Speaker 1: In France, it's more Middle Easterners, And that's where that
Speaker 1: movie goes. It starts off as a pretty simple thriller,
Speaker 1: but it ends up as this very deep story about
Speaker 1: really what you might call the original sin of French racism,
Speaker 1: if you could call it that, it gets so deep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's really great. I think it's one of the
Speaker 1: great final shots of any movie. But it's just it
Speaker 1: holds it just like holds, and you're looking for something
Speaker 1: that's right. You don't I mean that, this isn't even
Speaker 1: a spoiler. You're literally just the status lockdown shot where
Speaker 1: you're like trying to find what am I supposed to
Speaker 1: exactly right? And it's it's and it's really like again,
Speaker 1: it's Hennecky tipping his hat to maybe a movie like
Speaker 1: The Shining, where you do have that photo at the end,
Speaker 1: but it's very resolving. You're like it right in on
Speaker 1: Jack and you're just like, I get it. This is
Speaker 1: a thing. But in Hennecky it's very unsatisfying because you're
Speaker 1: like what because we've been trained through The Shining to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, he's gonna throw up a photo and
Speaker 1: it's going to answer everything. And then he holds on
Speaker 1: it so long and you're like, what am I supposed
Speaker 1: to be seeing? But you know the answers in there
Speaker 1: somewhere and I don't know what it is, but it's
Speaker 1: like given weight by how long he holds, so you're like,
Speaker 1: this mother must be meaning here, otherwise he wouldn't hold
Speaker 1: this damn shot. That's right. Yeah, it's one of those movies. Well,
Speaker 1: and a little bit more about the plat without giving
Speaker 1: it away that the tapes escalate. There are more tapes,
Speaker 1: um there secrets of the past of this family are revealed,
Speaker 1: and it's one of those movies that reveals it stuff
Speaker 1: little by little. And then with this this knockout of
Speaker 1: an ending, which is to say it's the opposite of
Speaker 1: a knockout of an ending, except it's the kind of
Speaker 1: movie where once it ends, you immediately go to your
Speaker 1: laptop and start googling cachet ending explained so you can
Speaker 1: try and figure out the movie, like Exit through the
Speaker 1: Gift Shop where like when I finished that one, I
Speaker 1: was just googling for seven hours after like what just happened? Uh?
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the reason that it does
Speaker 1: that is because it basically breaks down daniellow Toys character
Speaker 1: on every possible level. It starts off pretty simple where
Speaker 1: it's like you're being stalked. Then it gets into his
Speaker 1: masculinity that there's that moment on the street where he
Speaker 1: he stands, he fronts this guy who nearly runs him
Speaker 1: over on a bike. But the minute the guy stops
Speaker 1: the bike and turns back to Daniel, lo Toy is like,
Speaker 1: you want you want some Daniel Toy backs down immediately.
Speaker 1: So it's a story of his masculinity, then it becomes
Speaker 1: a story of his racism. Then it becomes a story
Speaker 1: of his childhood trauma. And it's just like it breaks
Speaker 1: this dude down um in an incredible way where at
Speaker 1: the end of the movie you're just like you kind
Speaker 1: of feel sorry for him, but uh, yeah it's a
Speaker 1: good guy. It's not a good guy. Yeah. I just
Speaker 1: want to see a movie like this. I just think, like,
Speaker 1: how the funk do you sit down and conceive and
Speaker 1: right a film that's so densely layered and so subtle
Speaker 1: and impactful. I I don't know the backstory of this movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a book before a
Speaker 1: movie or anything like that, but as a script it
Speaker 1: is one of the best. I mean, it is just
Speaker 1: one of the best. And again, I can't you know,
Speaker 1: you've got the notion a Toy the powerhouses of French acting,
Speaker 1: just enjoying it's soaking up every single scene there in
Speaker 1: and it's it's awesome. Um yeah, it's interesting to see
Speaker 1: movies that take a male archetype. I was just thinking
Speaker 1: about this. There was another movie that I can't remember
Speaker 1: the name of right now. I'll think of it. We'll
Speaker 1: edit it in later. But um where it's similar vibe
Speaker 1: where they just took a lead male character and broke
Speaker 1: him down systematically across ninety minutes. It's a cool setup
Speaker 1: for a movie, for sure. Yeah, all right, man, everybody
Speaker 1: go watch Cash all right, I'll see you guys by by.
Speaker 1: I gotta go back to work front of this thing,
Speaker 1: all right. And now we're gonna do What's Up Doctor?
Speaker 1: It's our documentary recommendation. I think I just titled that
Speaker 1: this week. By the way, I don't know why I
Speaker 1: think of like to think of dumb little titles like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're good at it, man, It
Speaker 1: could be just a documentary recommendation, but no, I gotta
Speaker 1: call it What's Up? Doc? This week, I'm gonna talk
Speaker 1: about shut Up a little man. Have you seen this one? No?
Speaker 1: But that was a very spirited reading. Well, so it's
Speaker 1: it actually has an exclamation point in the title so
Speaker 1: I heard it. You're required to read it that way.
Speaker 1: So this is I'll know you're gonna You're gonna love
Speaker 1: this one. This is a documentary that was out, um,
Speaker 1: I don't know a few years ago. I didn't look
Speaker 1: at the date, but it was. Here's the story is,
Speaker 1: there were these two dudes who moved into an apartment
Speaker 1: in San Francisco in the early nineties, and after they
Speaker 1: moved in, it turns out that through their paper thin walls,
Speaker 1: they realize they lived next door to a couple of argumentative,
Speaker 1: violent alcoholics. Doesn't sound fun or funny. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can see the potential and it's not. It's a weird
Speaker 1: sort of feeling that it leaves you with because what
Speaker 1: they did was they started taping on cassette tapes these arguments.
Speaker 1: And it gets the title because one of the guys,
Speaker 1: um I used to shout shut up little man was
Speaker 1: one of the things he shouted at his his flatmate. Uh.
Speaker 1: So they started there these audio verity recordings that these
Speaker 1: guys made on cassette, like I said, and it became
Speaker 1: one of those things in the early nineties. I don't
Speaker 1: I mean you were youngest then, but pre internet, pre YouTube,
Speaker 1: things still got around, Like I remember friends sharing video
Speaker 1: tapes of things that they would tape off television, which
Speaker 1: was YouTube, not just like here's this movie, but like,
Speaker 1: here twelve funny things I taped for um the farting
Speaker 1: preacher to uh this news anchor that kept sucking up
Speaker 1: on the air and melted down like things that you
Speaker 1: see on YouTube today. Things got around still pre internet.
Speaker 1: Uh and audio cassettes was one way that this happened,
Speaker 1: Like do you remember the Jerky Boys? I heard The
Speaker 1: Jerky Boys for the first time sitting in a car
Speaker 1: in a parking lot on a cassette that had been
Speaker 1: passed around through friends, and then it later became like
Speaker 1: a real movie and stuff which actually never saw so funny.
Speaker 1: I used to exchange Smashing Pumpkins bootlegs with people on
Speaker 1: the internet. We would mail them to each other. The
Speaker 1: best part was they'd fill the empty spots on the
Speaker 1: like the leftover tape with just whatever they wanted, right,
Speaker 1: So I discovered a lot of cool new music just
Speaker 1: from like training these bootlegs. Yeah, it was funny because
Speaker 1: it was a feeling that that tape space was had
Speaker 1: values which did so like I'm not gonna leave like
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of unused tape. I'll just throw some ship
Speaker 1: on there. Not anymore though, that's great, No no value
Speaker 1: to take anymore. That's not true. Uh So, Anyway, these
Speaker 1: guys made these recordings. Part of the documentary is the
Speaker 1: story of these two gentlemen who lived next door that
Speaker 1: they surreptitiously recorded. Part of it is then the life
Speaker 1: that these tapes took on, because uh it kind of
Speaker 1: got passed around and got passed around, became a viral
Speaker 1: sensation in the analog era before things were called viral sensations,
Speaker 1: and they ended up having about fourteen hours of tape,
Speaker 1: and they it became you know, a music label put
Speaker 1: out a CD of it. It became a comic book. Um,
Speaker 1: a play was produced based around this. Devo recorded a
Speaker 1: song about this. It really spread around sort of the
Speaker 1: underground community of San Francisco and beyond. But then you
Speaker 1: have this background of but this is these are tapes
Speaker 1: of these two guys who are alcoholics and and fight
Speaker 1: constant at least, so it's has this weird sad element too,
Speaker 1: because you also hear about their story and the fact
Speaker 1: of like that weird question of like wait a minute,
Speaker 1: this is their life that you've ripped off and are broadcasting. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: sort of that grizzly Man question from the last episode,
Speaker 1: like is its pure kind of creepy voyeurism, Like what's
Speaker 1: the value in this other than entertainment? And where is
Speaker 1: the line? And should these guys have even made these tapes?
Speaker 1: So that it introduces a lot of questions. It's really
Speaker 1: really good. I'm just reading a little synopsis online and
Speaker 1: hearing you talk about it. I'm really I'm interested for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's definitely worth watching, so shut up little man? Is
Speaker 1: the What's Up? Doc recommendation? And finally moving on to
Speaker 1: Independence Day, you have to keep explaining how that's spelled.
Speaker 1: You're talking about the movie with Will Smith, right, God,
Speaker 1: we should do that every time. I think we probably
Speaker 1: will Independence E E N t Apostrophe s As an
Speaker 1: independent film. I'm going with Short Term twelve. You've seen
Speaker 1: that one? No, I never heard of? Oh man, this
Speaker 1: is from a few years ago, uh, starring Bree Larson,
Speaker 1: John Gallagher Jr. Caitlin uh Deva or Deever, Rommy Malick
Speaker 1: from Mr Robot Uh. And then the Great Lakeith Stanfield
Speaker 1: from Get Out he's in it, and I think I
Speaker 1: don't know what the first thing he was in, first
Speaker 1: thing I saw him in, but written directed by a
Speaker 1: man named Destin Daniel Kreton or Creton c R E T.
Speaker 1: T O N. He's from Hawaii. But here's the deal.
Speaker 1: He went to college in San Diego, was a filmmaking
Speaker 1: student and hobbyists and at the same time worked at
Speaker 1: a group home group home for at risk teenagers as
Speaker 1: a I don't know if he got paid repews, just
Speaker 1: a volunteer, but he was making these short films. He
Speaker 1: eventually made a short film about um his group home,
Speaker 1: and I believe his group home called short Term twelve
Speaker 1: as in it was the number twelve in the series
Speaker 1: of short term homes for these kids in in that city.
Speaker 1: And he ended up making it into a feature film.
Speaker 1: And it is phenomenal and emotionally devastating and draining and
Speaker 1: uplifting all at the same time. If you like independent films,
Speaker 1: it has all the hallmarks of independent film. You feel
Speaker 1: like it's really happening. The acting is great Brie Larson,
Speaker 1: It's just she's one of the best of her generation's
Speaker 1: fantastic was she was on United United States of Tara.
Speaker 1: Emily watched that. I didn't watch that. It was before
Speaker 1: she got really huge. She was the daughter she I
Speaker 1: really liked that show a lot. Yeah, Emily loved it,
Speaker 1: and I love Tony Collette. So I don't know why
Speaker 1: I never watched it. I think it's one of those
Speaker 1: where she started, I got behind and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna catch up. That's it's too much stuff
Speaker 1: to consume too. It's like you can't to do it
Speaker 1: all much. I saw the funny Onion headline the other
Speaker 1: day said Aria Man no longer taking TV show recommendations.
Speaker 1: Uh So, anyway, short term twelve um obviously said in
Speaker 1: that group home for troubled teens, there's a story of
Speaker 1: the teens themselves, um, one of which is takes part
Speaker 1: in self harm cutting. Um. She has to deal with that.
Speaker 1: Bree Larson has her own uh story going on, as
Speaker 1: in a relationship with her boyfriend who she doesn't she
Speaker 1: won't open up to him emotionally, yet she will do
Speaker 1: this job and maybe that's why where it is all
Speaker 1: emotion uh So, it sort of tells the story of
Speaker 1: her relationship as she's working at this place, as she's
Speaker 1: dealing with his pregnancy, and it's just so hardcore, deals
Speaker 1: with abuse, neglect, mental illness, but again also uplifting in
Speaker 1: many ways. Just such a such a great, great small movie.
Speaker 1: I couldn't recommend it enough. It's almost like required viewing,
Speaker 1: you know, all right, it's one of those I guess
Speaker 1: I'm required to view it, all right. Now we'll move
Speaker 1: on to social studies social movie crush, where I post
Speaker 1: Facebook queries two you, the listening audience, all my pals
Speaker 1: out there in movie crush and movie crusher Land. This
Speaker 1: one was what's your sick on the couch Rainy Day movie?
Speaker 1: What's your go to? People love this and about thirty
Speaker 1: of the people said Harry Potter movies. So I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna read any of those, but shout out to everyone
Speaker 1: who said a Harry Potter movie. I guess that's good
Speaker 1: on the couch movie. It's actually funny that you say
Speaker 1: that my on the couch movie was a Harry Potter
Speaker 1: movie the last time I was sick. But it's this
Speaker 1: version that's narrated by this dude um whose name I
Speaker 1: can't remember, but it's called Wizard people, dear reader, and
Speaker 1: he just narrates the entire movie with this absurdest kind
Speaker 1: of rewritten rows, like telling the story in voiceover narration. Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: He did a show on Adult Swim called The Chick China, Illinois.
Speaker 1: He's got some weird cartoons. But check out Wizard People.
Speaker 1: If you're a Fairy Potter fan, I want to hear
Speaker 1: people write in about that. And it's pretty great, all right,
Speaker 1: Harry Potter fans. I'm not one of them, get involved,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with I don't have a number
Speaker 1: one go to, but if I'm flipping it around and
Speaker 1: I'm sick in bed and Wonder Boys is on, I
Speaker 1: will watch that a million times. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: movies and just has that great sort of just what
Speaker 1: I need when I'm when I'm sick in bed, makes
Speaker 1: you feel good, yeah, but not too crazy, like just
Speaker 1: very mellow. You need mellow, all right. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read through a bunch of these fairly quickly. Molly McPherson,
Speaker 1: Beast of the Southern Wild, Devastating Gretchen Herman, Treasure of
Speaker 1: the Sierra Madre, Wow, Old School Love It, Jason Hancock,
Speaker 1: pretty much any Scorsese movie, good Fellows, Casino will have

Speaker 1: But is that's velvet she puts in there? Emily and
Speaker 1: I can almost act out that movie every role verbatim.
Speaker 1: Did I hear they were doing some kind of reboot.
Speaker 1: I think they're doing a sequel. Is that better or worse? Depends? Right?
Speaker 1: Proof is in the pudding? Yeah, well, we'll see Tess Sullivan.
Speaker 1: Something from my childhood, like bed Nobs and Broomsticks or
Speaker 1: Mary Poppins or Pete Dragon. Teresa Tomorrow. I have three

Speaker 1: meet my wife. Audrey bart Let Twister. Emily loves that
Speaker 1: movie too. Nick Kelly Lost in translation all the way,
Speaker 1: I'm with you there that that'd be a good pick
Speaker 1: for me, too. Good sick day movie. It's it's like
Speaker 1: got that it makes you feel good, and I keep
Speaker 1: coming to that, coming back to that, but I think
Speaker 1: that's important to either, like it's got that chill kind
Speaker 1: of languid vibe and it ultimately kind of makes you
Speaker 1: gives you the warm fuzzies what you need when you're
Speaker 1: not feeling well. Agreed. Andrew Fernandez says The Goonies great one.
Speaker 1: Aaron Cooper Coope, my buddy Clue every time, boy, I
Speaker 1: love Clue. That is always a good answer. Scott Dawson,
Speaker 1: The Commitments, that's another feel good movie. Susan Stucker Jones
Speaker 1: says The Jerk or the Princess Bride, all right, she
Speaker 1: likes to laugh when she's sick, fair enough. Nick mhaffee,
Speaker 1: never go wrong with Roadhouse, agreed. Glynn Pott says better
Speaker 1: Off Dead good movie. Jessica Amber says Young Frankenstein or Legend,

Speaker 1: I'm sick, I like to binge stuff if I'm okay.
Speaker 1: I don't really rewatch movies either. Really, I really don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're just coming out with that now, Yeah, alright. I

Speaker 1: male Nora e Fron getting more love, and Terry Richards
Speaker 1: with the Notebook weepy, romantic, sappy love fest in the Notebook. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I stay away from stuff like that. You didn't see it.
Speaker 1: I did I and I've I've had it spoiled for me,
Speaker 1: so I don't think I need to see it, you
Speaker 1: know what. Go out there and say, I like the Notebook, Okay,
Speaker 1: oh that was good. I love me some gossling and
Speaker 1: he and Rachel McAdams had a I mean it's I
Speaker 1: think they fell in love on that movie. So when
Speaker 1: that happens, you can really feel to the screen. And
Speaker 1: then I mean, I'm a sucker, man. I'm an emotional
Speaker 1: wreck here in my late forties, and the the James
Speaker 1: Garner Genner Rowlands as them as old people subplot is
Speaker 1: just fucking devastating. I can't take it. Good movie. I
Speaker 1: guess I like my tears to come from like Pixar
Speaker 1: movies and I don't really seek out like dramas as
Speaker 1: much as I need. I need comedy, man, Like, how
Speaker 1: much do you cry a lot? Like daily? No in movies,
Speaker 1: I mean, like you know, I mean in life. Oh no, No,
Speaker 1: it really only happens during movies. Man, it happened. It
Speaker 1: happens a lot like if I go to a Pixar
Speaker 1: movie with my kid. Oh. Now, it happens with music
Speaker 1: sometimes too. If I hear a Sovie something, I'm turning
Speaker 1: like I just trying to turn my kid onto the
Speaker 1: Beatles and some of these songs are up coming on
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my god, I'm getting paired with
Speaker 1: the showing of it to her, and her it happens, man,
Speaker 1: and she sees me and she goes, dad, quit being
Speaker 1: a pussy, Emily and she had to say that that
Speaker 1: she Emily and I call it getting weepy. Uh, and
Speaker 1: we I think our I was about to say, no,
Speaker 1: good for each other, but maybe it's just fine. But
Speaker 1: we get we be a lot. I mean, the right
Speaker 1: TV commercial man can send me over the edge. Alright. No,
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish with comic card, where we take Facebook
Speaker 1: questions to the two of us, can you name, and
Speaker 1: this is from Joe Foster. Jo Foster, can you name
Speaker 1: at least three movies where a cop who's just had
Speaker 1: enough throws his badge into a body of water. I
Speaker 1: don't think I could name one. I guess I usually
Speaker 1: picture them slamming the badge down on their superior officers desk. Well,
Speaker 1: that's when they get suspended, turning your gun in your badge.
Speaker 1: They always do so angrily, that's true. I don't know
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen that, So I want to see
Speaker 1: them skip it like a stone. That'd be cool. I'm
Speaker 1: done with you, badge, but have a little fun on
Speaker 1: your way out right. Danielle Gleason says, when will you
Speaker 1: feature Tarantino, as in have him on the show. Danielle, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean shit, whenever he wants. Yeah, you know I've
Speaker 1: talked trash about him on this show a lot. Well,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's a problematic figure of late. You noticed,
Speaker 1: uh his Weinstein support and making Uma Thurman drive that
Speaker 1: car that almost broke her spine. Yeah, that's not a
Speaker 1: good look. Did you see the footage? It's rough, It
Speaker 1: was pretty scary. Look, it's real bad. She's all like
Speaker 1: broken and like like a ragged all about man. And
Speaker 1: you don't do that to your actors. No. No, By
Speaker 1: the way, from our last segment Gripped this, the camera
Speaker 1: was mounted on the car behind her head for that
Speaker 1: po V. The Grips would have done that mounting. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, of course I would have
Speaker 1: Tarantino on there because he's John of the industry, but
Speaker 1: he's never going to come on the show, so let's
Speaker 1: just keep talking ship. Yeah. Joshua Brennan says, which sequels
Speaker 1: that are better than the first? Uh? He goes with
Speaker 1: Terminator two and Temple of Doom. I take gets you
Speaker 1: a Temple of Doom being better than Raiders for sure.
Speaker 1: Terminator two was better than Terminator probably, Uh. And I
Speaker 1: don't know about better, but Godfather Too was just as
Speaker 1: good as Godfather one. I just I like the whole backstory,
Speaker 1: the whole, like the time travel aspect of it a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I live with the whole, like Vetos early days or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, And I feel like we already covered
Speaker 1: this too, because I remember talking about Spider Man too.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe so, so I think this might be a repeat.
Speaker 1: It's okay, we can have different answers. I probably had
Speaker 1: the same answers. I'm a big fan of Titanic too,
Speaker 1: though I think that's clearly the superior film. Boat Rising, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Body make boat face, Chris
Speaker 1: uh pop off or pop cough, depending on if your
Speaker 1: ca is silent. Is there a movie that no one
Speaker 1: seems to love but you? And that's a good question,
Speaker 1: he says. For instance, I love Gore Verbinski's The Mexican
Speaker 1: with Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, but I feel like
Speaker 1: the consensus is that that was a failure. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna put too much thought into this, Christ because I
Speaker 1: don't want to bore you. But I will also agree
Speaker 1: with you that I quite enjoyed The Mexican. That was
Speaker 1: pretty good. And I don't I don't think it was
Speaker 1: very well reviewed. What about the Gun? Yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: I remember. I liked it. The Gun was the Mexican.
Speaker 1: That's right. I enjoyed it. Do you have an answer
Speaker 1: for that? No? I don't know, all right. I just
Speaker 1: I'm a hard line. I follow what the critics say
Speaker 1: no matter what. That's what we love about you. Kristen
Speaker 1: Glenn kissed her says when you make a new acquaintance,
Speaker 1: what movie do you throw out there to judge their
Speaker 1: possible friend ability? WHOA, that is a great question. Mm hmmm, alright,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna overthink this one either. But if it's
Speaker 1: comedy stuff, I might throw out like a Waiting for
Speaker 1: Guffman or something like that. You're gonna go with Waiting
Speaker 1: for Government on comedy. I've definitely done that before, just
Speaker 1: like I'm always delighted when someone hasn't seen it because
Speaker 1: I like watching it. That's when I would rewatch right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. But it's also yeah, it's because it's got
Speaker 1: such a specific sense of humor that just really lines
Speaker 1: up with, you know, my sensibilities. I think that if
Speaker 1: someone else gets it and lasted the same bits, then
Speaker 1: you know you probably hit it off, you know, well
Speaker 1: even more so though someone was like, oh, what was
Speaker 1: funny about that? Exactly? Then you're like past, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: swipe right or left? I don't even know which way
Speaker 1: to people's wipe I I don't know. It's been too
Speaker 1: long for me. It's like Eternal Sunshine adaptation, like all
Speaker 1: those Spike Jones, Charlie Kaufman, Michelle Gondry that Whole World.
Speaker 1: It's any of those movies. They just they check the
Speaker 1: boxes for me. So if if someone's gonna we're gonna hang,
Speaker 1: you gotta like those movies. Alright. The next question is
Speaker 1: from Caleb jay Wyant. Who was your movie crush? That
Speaker 1: is a movie character you always had crushed on. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. So I'm gonna go with a
Speaker 1: movie called The Heartbreak Kid and specifically Michelle moynihan or Monahan,
Speaker 1: her character, and that I got a big crush on
Speaker 1: her and I r l anyway, Michelle Monahan. I just
Speaker 1: think she is uh beautiful, but in a in a
Speaker 1: very approachable girl next door sort of way, and she
Speaker 1: always plays likable characters. It just seems like a good person.
Speaker 1: So I've always crushed on her and her character. Uh
Speaker 1: and the come I'm sorry, The Heartbreak Kid is Miranda
Speaker 1: and she and they play this up in the movie,
Speaker 1: is just super lovable, has this great family, and she's
Speaker 1: nice and she's funny and she's smart. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of the whole point of the movie is that she
Speaker 1: plays opposite this creature of Cameron I'm sorry, not Cameron
Speaker 1: d is always get them confused. Maitland Ackerman, who turns
Speaker 1: out to be you know, Ben Stiller gets married to
Speaker 1: her early on. It turns out to be a nightmare
Speaker 1: of a wife to go on vacation where he bumps
Speaker 1: into Michelle Monahan while his wife is sick, and they
Speaker 1: sort of formed this relationship. But I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: that as my my movie crush as Miranda and the
Speaker 1: Heartbreak Kid. I actually posted this. There's a movie crushers
Speaker 1: thread uh asking this very question, and um everyone posted
Speaker 1: their answer with a gift, and mine was Wednesday Adams.
Speaker 1: Christina Richie playing Wednesday Adams and she's like, uh, wearing
Speaker 1: like an Indian Pocahona's kind of outfit lighting a match
Speaker 1: because she burns down the summer camp. I guess, yes,
Speaker 1: And of course you saw that when you were when
Speaker 1: I was a child, Yes, yes, exactly. But I have
Speaker 1: continued crushing on her as she has aged and was
Speaker 1: apply roughly the same age. But yeah, here's a little
Speaker 1: story for you all. You know, my brother worked as
Speaker 1: an a d for many years. He worked on The
Speaker 1: Adams Family Values the sequel, and he and Christina Riccie
Speaker 1: were kind of pals, and she even I think had
Speaker 1: a crush on my brother and gave him a Christmas
Speaker 1: gift of chili pepper boxer shorts. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: tell him to put in a good word for me.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I've got a girlfriend. Uh so, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. That's awesome. Man. Those movies do
Speaker 1: not hold up on repeat viewing. I will tell you
Speaker 1: that I watched one recently. Well this I thought, I
Speaker 1: am certainly values was Actually that's a sequel that was
Speaker 1: better than the original. Okay, I watched the first one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the second one was better. That's the one with the pocahonas.
Speaker 1: That's right, very good movie. And they had that great
Speaker 1: dance sequence in that movie with rawl Julia and uh
Speaker 1: the Mamushka. The mamusha is that the dances the name
Speaker 1: of the dance, throw the knives up and he catches
Speaker 1: it in the whole sequence. My brother said, took like
Speaker 1: a week to shoot that thing. It's just I think
Speaker 1: Barry sona Felt directed it. It was just amazing, amazing.
Speaker 1: All Right. A couple more here. Brandon uh Favory says,

Speaker 1: And and and apparently murders happened on the rag the
Speaker 1: British country side. I could play detective. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I felt like I would have really enjoyed the sixties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just something in the sixties like Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: All right, sure, Forrest Gump. Uh. And finally, Chrissy Burbeck,
Speaker 1: do you ever have friends or other couples over to
