Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Noel in
Speaker 1: the hissy in his hissym not in my hissy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's drive. I mean, I've been there. It's a nice hissy,
Speaker 1: but I got my own. This is the new way.
Speaker 1: Get out of my hissy, get out of my head.
Speaker 1: Are you fully accustomed to your new home, Noel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of little bits and Bob's that I
Speaker 1: need to deal with, you know that, Just like a
Speaker 1: couple of boxes that I just haven't messed with, or
Speaker 1: I've seen a shove in the attic. It's just something
Speaker 1: I just need to deal with. But also my studio.
Speaker 1: I want to get some acoustic panels, but I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten to that yet, and I've got a few pieces
Speaker 1: of are I don't want to hang in here? But yeah,
Speaker 1: mainly love it. Yes, it feels very cozy. Are there
Speaker 1: any ghosts? Um No, But I will say this, there's
Speaker 1: like when I first moved in, there was this like
Speaker 1: dead animal smell and it went away and I was like,
Speaker 1: what is this. It's like that's something into the house
Speaker 1: that died. And then it like really briefly, came back
Speaker 1: and then went away really quickly. So you do have
Speaker 1: a ghost. If there were a proper rotting animal, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't just go away quickly. It would linger until the
Speaker 1: thing was just disappeared. You know. Yeah, that's concerning. There
Speaker 1: is a cross space. Yes, you might have a dead
Speaker 1: human under their knoll. I think it's possible, or at
Speaker 1: the very least some sort of ghoul. You should call
Speaker 1: up a um ghost hunter, an animal removal person, and
Speaker 1: a mortuary attendant. So I should assemble a crack team
Speaker 1: of of of a ragtag band of yes you know, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got it, and they should They should all be brothers,
Speaker 1: they should be triplets. I support this, John, I think
Speaker 1: this is a great idea. And then we'll make a
Speaker 1: TV show about it. Let's do it. Count me in
Speaker 1: all right. Now, we're gonna start it off this week
Speaker 1: with a movie Crushers bit, because you know, those Crushers
Speaker 1: got some good stuff going every now and then, like
Speaker 1: meaning every day. And this one comes and asked for
Speaker 1: his permission. He said yes, so you can't sue me
Speaker 1: for the no money that the show makes. But Jonathan
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do my best here, But Nol. This
Speaker 1: is one of those names that starts out with one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four consonants in a row? What which ones? What are they?
Speaker 1: Which one? I can't even picture this scenario. S z
Speaker 1: c z. That's just a sound. I'm sure Jonathan's having
Speaker 1: fun with this, but I'm just gonna go with Jonathan.
Speaker 1: P uh Zapanski, I'm just canceling out the s s
Speaker 1: in the season, going with the zs only. I bet
Speaker 1: that's right. I think I think it is. There's no
Speaker 1: way it's scissors Zepansky. No, no, I was wrong. I
Speaker 1: was dead wrong. It's a great name, though, Jonathan, I
Speaker 1: love that. Zapansky, Bryant, Brown, boring, Nol. That's what we are. Boring,
Speaker 1: we're at. We shouldn't even exist. Your name has only
Speaker 1: got nearly interesting enough. Too dumb syllables. What's your name?
Speaker 1: You could? You could fart that sound that name out, NOL. Jeez, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you can't fart sharing my legacy here, You can't fart,
Speaker 1: Jonathan P. Sabanski, Well, Charles W. Chuck Bryant's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of syllables there, Yeah, but I just
Speaker 1: that's what we're counting. I guess he did up. I'm
Speaker 1: just chuck. Okay, fair enough, you are just chucked, and
Speaker 1: you can fart that out easily, you can. That's what
Speaker 1: my farts all sound like, is just the chuck chuck, chuck. Alright, nol.
Speaker 1: So this is what Jonathan said, and this is a
Speaker 1: good one. This jumps off. You're prett woman review. He said,
Speaker 1: after listening to many Crush number one thirty five, it
Speaker 1: reminded me how long it took me to quote, forgive
Speaker 1: end quote Jason Alexander for that role. And I couldn't
Speaker 1: separate him from that character in that movie. You know
Speaker 1: that happens a lot. He said. Are there any actors
Speaker 1: that you hold their roles against them? And I think
Speaker 1: we've all been down this road before a hole, And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and name one. I have to
Speaker 1: look up his name now because I can't remember. It
Speaker 1: is Tony Goldwin. And this is a movie I didn't
Speaker 1: even like. It's not even one of my favorite movies,
Speaker 1: but the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze
Speaker 1: Tony Goldman was the worst. And every time I saw
Speaker 1: that guy in any movie for a long time, I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh, that motherfucker. What else was he in?
Speaker 1: He's been in a bunch of stuff. I mean he
Speaker 1: was He's kind of played the bad guy in a
Speaker 1: couple of things. But you know character actor. He was
Speaker 1: in a movie called Scandal. You know, I know him.
Speaker 1: He's he has kind of the sunken, ghoulish face, which
Speaker 1: I think makes him pretty well suited for for the
Speaker 1: for the battie, Yeah, kiss the girls. You know. That's
Speaker 1: as much as I'll say about that divirgent Pelican brief.
Speaker 1: He's been a lot of stuff, but he's one of
Speaker 1: those guys that every time he turned up for a
Speaker 1: while after that, I just wanted to punch him because
Speaker 1: of what he did. And ghost. Oh, he's in the
Speaker 1: new Lovecraft Country and he plays a ghoulish cult leader. Interview. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you should give it a shot. It's interesting
Speaker 1: and Okay, this isn't a spoiler. I'm I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: three to one non spoiler spoiler. It's the sort of
Speaker 1: a secret anthology series like every appod Like you don't
Speaker 1: know that at first, but then you realize, like it's
Speaker 1: a little bit of like a it's Scooby Doo kind
Speaker 1: of Monster of the week and it's cool. I need
Speaker 1: to get back into it. It threw me for a
Speaker 1: loop because I didn't think it was at first. And
Speaker 1: the second episode is just such a climax. It feels
Speaker 1: like a season finale. And I was just like, wait
Speaker 1: what they threw so much at the wall and like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand where this is going. And then I realized, oh,
Speaker 1: that was the culmination of this a story, and then
Speaker 1: there's like a B story and at Centers. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: on the list. All right. Now we're gonna start it
Speaker 1: off with we're going top down, but I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: through as many as he's as I can. Uh. Monica
Speaker 1: Elizabeth says, not a movie. And I didn't see much
Speaker 1: of this show, as you know. But noel I think
Speaker 1: we can all agree that Jack Gleeson as Jeoffrey Barratian
Speaker 1: will never be able to live that roll down. Well,
Speaker 1: he knows that and he left. He quit acting basically
Speaker 1: because of it. He really Oh my god, ye should
Speaker 1: I feel bad for him? I mean, look, it's the
Speaker 1: role of a lifetime. Maybe he wasn't that into acting
Speaker 1: in the first place. You mean, you could have fooled me.
Speaker 1: He's fucking incredible, but yeah, he's such a little ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's tough. Uh. Old pal Andrea do pui. Uh.
Speaker 1: Crease says Denzel in Training Day. That was tough because
Speaker 1: we love Denzel and then to see him it's such
Speaker 1: a monster in movie. You know, that was hard. I
Speaker 1: was mad at him. He's great in that though, I said,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, you know, he's so used to playing like
Speaker 1: the righteous kind of good guy. I'm sure that was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun for her. Oh yeah, I bet
Speaker 1: he had a good time on that. Grant Woody, one
Speaker 1: of her old friends, says, I disliked Joaquin Phoenix for
Speaker 1: interrrationally long time after Gladiator. Yeah he was bad, bad man,
Speaker 1: but good at it. So good? Yeah, very good at it.
Speaker 1: Um Okay, Randy Rodriguez says, my wife and Kevin Bacon,
Speaker 1: she said she was such Uh. She said he was
Speaker 1: such a creep in that movie Whitewater Summer. Uh was
Speaker 1: it Whitewater Summer. I think the River wild maybe what
Speaker 1: he's thinking. Although I haven't seen Whitewater Summer. I thought
Speaker 1: that was sort of a fun movie. River Wilde is
Speaker 1: when he played the creep. Whitewater Summer sounds like a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Does want to have a movie about
Speaker 1: a water park and all the long lasting friendships you
Speaker 1: made over that one faithful summer. I haven't seen that
Speaker 1: Action Park documentary yet, but that's on the list too.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that. If you heard called
Speaker 1: class actions Traction Park was another fun name for that
Speaker 1: park back then. Yeah, because it was all just mega
Speaker 1: unsafe like water slides and rides and people just got
Speaker 1: totally really jacked up there. There was a loop, a
Speaker 1: water slide that went in a full loop. Knoll. Oh,
Speaker 1: that seems like a great idea. There's no way that
Speaker 1: can go wrong. Uh. Sarah Stapleton says I cannot separate
Speaker 1: Lorraine Toussaint from the character she played in Orange is
Speaker 1: the New Black. Every time I see her in something else,
Speaker 1: I just want to scream at all the other characters
Speaker 1: to not trust her. Yeah. I watched Oranges the New
Speaker 1: Black for the first couple of seasons and then we stopped.
Speaker 1: But I liked it. I think it just kind of
Speaker 1: overstate it's welcome in my opinion, kind of like Weeds.
Speaker 1: I never saw Weeds. Yeah, that was like an eighteen
Speaker 1: seasons right, didn't that show go over it? Was a
Speaker 1: lot and just you know, and it was never like
Speaker 1: a great show to begin with. It was just fun.
Speaker 1: And then the character uh whatever, Nancy whatever her name
Speaker 1: is um played by the lovely Sarah Jessica No, uh,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Jason Lee. No, who plays her? You mean the lead? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's her name? It was Mary Louise Parker. Louise Parker,
Speaker 1: one of those three names gals. Yes, yes, she becomes
Speaker 1: just like the just at first, she's just quirky and
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, I'm just doing this thing to
Speaker 1: like take care of my family, and then she just
Speaker 1: becomes progressively more and more irresponsible and brings her kids
Speaker 1: into the situation. It's it's like that, but like not
Speaker 1: even the steaks are low because it's just sort of
Speaker 1: a comedy. So it's just you just kind of can't
Speaker 1: stand here because she's just sort of really selfish and
Speaker 1: makes really stupid decisions. Looks like Weeds ran for eight seasons. Uh,
Speaker 1: the great Kevin Nealon, isn't that. Oh Yeah, Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: He's funny. He's the best thing about it. He plays
Speaker 1: there like bungling lawyer kind of guy. Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 1: He's like that show um Phyllis Martin Talent says, I've
Speaker 1: heard more than one person say Mary Tyler Moore is
Speaker 1: not a nice person because of her role in Ordinary People.
Speaker 1: He never mind that she was sweet Laurie Petrie or
Speaker 1: Mary Richards for so many years. Yeah, that's true. Ordinary people,
Speaker 1: ordinary people. It's good, it's tough. It's a divorce movie,
Speaker 1: sort of through the lens of the child. Got it
Speaker 1: very hard. Mike Sam's, one of her old friends, says,
Speaker 1: it took me a long time to disassociate Rachel McAdams
Speaker 1: from Regina George. Uh. And I still have issues with
Speaker 1: David Strathern for his role in Dolores Claiborne. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hear that. Uh. Megan Broyle says, I used to loathe
Speaker 1: you and McGregor, but I have no idea why. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a different kind of answer. Did you see uh
Speaker 1: of Pray or whatever it was called, the Harley Quinn
Speaker 1: movie Not Interested? Well, you and McGregor is in and
Speaker 1: he plays like a battye and it's fun because he
Speaker 1: doesn't get to do that very often. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it all right. Amy Roberts says, James Spader
Speaker 1: will always be Steph and pretty and pink, and as
Speaker 1: an office fan, it was really hard for me to
Speaker 1: like him. Yeah, pretty and pink. He was not a
Speaker 1: good guy in that. Uh let me see here. John
Speaker 1: Stockton says Steve Carrell because of Michael Scott, Jake gillen Hall,
Speaker 1: because of how he was portrayed an entourage, Jake Jillen Hall.
Speaker 1: Did he play himself? Was he like one of those
Speaker 1: like over the top versions of himself? I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't recall him being an entourage. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I don't think so someone's gonna have to clear that
Speaker 1: up for me. Stockton, Come on, Stockton, let me know
Speaker 1: what's up. Uh, let me see here. Batia Randy says
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt and thumb On Louise Yeah, I was on
Speaker 1: a nice thing he did. Nicole Curly says, I'm still
Speaker 1: kind of afraid of Anthony Hopkins. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'll ever be able to separate him from Hannibal Lector.
Speaker 1: That is true. Christine Taylor is Marsha Brady. That's from
Speaker 1: Keith Edward. She looks so much like Marsha Brady. It
Speaker 1: was just hard to not think she was Marsha Brady,
Speaker 1: great casting, perfect casting. Were you a Brady Bunch guy?
Speaker 1: Did it? Was that like important to you growing up?
Speaker 1: Not that you were, that would have been before your time,
Speaker 1: but reruns I'm sure right, No, old Brady Bunch was
Speaker 1: very important to me. Yes, yeah, yeah, I watched that
Speaker 1: movie religiously in reruns. It was part of this like
Speaker 1: group of shows that was before my time but played
Speaker 1: forever on like WTBS and stuff like I was watching
Speaker 1: Green Acres and Petticoat Junction and like all these old
Speaker 1: black and white Gilligan's Island Dude Doobe gillis Man, Mr.
Speaker 1: I watched all that ship on Nick at Night Like
Speaker 1: that was huge for me. Yeah, pre Nick at Night.
Speaker 1: It was just on the superstation. Uh Lynn Carlson one
Speaker 1: of our oldest friends, he says Christian Bale. Because of
Speaker 1: American Psycho. He played the role of sleazy Wall Street
Speaker 1: upper class douche too. Well, it's very good. Dermott Kennif
Speaker 1: says Jude Law because of quite a few asshole roles,
Speaker 1: but mostly because of Wild. I don't think I saw that, No,
Speaker 1: I'd neither. Is that the Oscar Wild movie? Maybe he
Speaker 1: did not play is spelled with an E on the end.
Speaker 1: It is indeed, nol, Then that's what it's gotta be.
Speaker 1: Ben Master says Glenn Close from World. According to Garb,
Speaker 1: her character, her character was so off putting it took
Speaker 1: me a long time to come to appreciate her other performances.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for these people. Sometimes they're so good
Speaker 1: in something and being bad that people dislike them in
Speaker 1: real life. You know, they're acting. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like, here's a good example, like
Speaker 1: that kid from the Harry Potter movies, that shitty little
Speaker 1: blonde kid. Don't he plays, you know, Malfoy or whatever.
Speaker 1: Have no idea like yeah, exactly, Well I thought you
Speaker 1: were a huge Harry Potter. Stand I'm gonna read those
Speaker 1: one day, nol. You know everyone's saying Ruby's gonna get
Speaker 1: to an age where I can't avoid it. So I'm
Speaker 1: just waiting on that day with abated breath. Even just
Speaker 1: blasted right past that period. She has zero interests, all anime,
Speaker 1: all the time. That's her thing. Well, maybe that'll happen
Speaker 1: for me. Jamie Irman says, Jason Patrick and your friends
Speaker 1: and neighbors, Oh yeah, dude is creepy and always tends
Speaker 1: to have the creepy roles. Yeah, that was He was
Speaker 1: such a fucking asshole in that movie champ Razado. One
Speaker 1: of orl Pau says, j K. Simmons is a great actor,
Speaker 1: but it took a lot of roles before I was
Speaker 1: able to not see him as Schillinger. What is that
Speaker 1: from Schillinger? Chilling? That's the joke. Yeah, he he always
Speaker 1: everyone always pronounces it Schillinger and he always corrects them
Speaker 1: chilling her. But yeah, he is. He's this neo Nazi
Speaker 1: uh like leader who's been locked up and has control
Speaker 1: over all these uh insane you know, racist white supremacists
Speaker 1: in the prison, and he goes to war with this
Speaker 1: one character and like has his does horrible things to
Speaker 1: his family outside of the prison, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's just yeah, he is a That is one
Speaker 1: of the most um what's the word just despicable characters
Speaker 1: in all of television, I would say, which is interesting
Speaker 1: because j K. Simmons is generally I think plays a
Speaker 1: pretty good dude. Although he didn't in Whip Flash either.
Speaker 1: He was pretty tough in that one. Did you like
Speaker 1: that movie? I fucking loved Whip Flash. Someone told me
Speaker 1: the other day that they hated it, and I was
Speaker 1: really confused. It was it was kind of a film
Speaker 1: snob person, so they may have had their issues, but
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Isn't that the guy that did
Speaker 1: um La La Land was not the same. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so Chazelle was. Yeah. I think it was like
Speaker 1: his first big oscar bait. It was Damien Giselle. I
Speaker 1: really thought Whiplash was great, like I got it, really
Speaker 1: loved it. Oh you did not see Whip Player. I
Speaker 1: I haven't seene Whiplash now, Oh you should. It's right
Speaker 1: up pure alley as a music A Yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: some clips like there's just leewards like his hands were
Speaker 1: bleeding or whatever because he's like playing the drums so
Speaker 1: hard or whatever. Drummond so hard, so hard, so hard.
Speaker 1: All Right, We're gonna finish with Earl pal. Austin Debski
Speaker 1: says Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park, he will always be
Speaker 1: Dennis Nedder to me. It's true. He's he's he's newman.
Speaker 1: But it's funny you say that shucks to him. I
Speaker 1: saw Jurassic Park before I ever saw Seinfeld. So he
Speaker 1: was neddury to me as well, even once I knew
Speaker 1: him as Newman. But now over time I think of
Speaker 1: him as Newman. Yeah, and not Neger. No, they're close
Speaker 1: Newman Nidri, It's true. All right, Now we're gonna finish up, well,
Speaker 1: why don't you announce what we're gonna finish up with?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, we're gonna finish up with a little edition
Speaker 1: of Trucks. Hey. Nice work. Okay, Yes, I worked really
Speaker 1: hard on this list, Chuck. I would. I didn't want
Speaker 1: it to be too I didn't want to like totally
Speaker 1: humiliate you. Um. I also, you know, didn't want to
Speaker 1: like insult your intelligence. So it was like a kind
Speaker 1: of a delicate balance. And that's why I sent it
Speaker 1: to Casey. Um vetted it, vetted for me a little bit.
Speaker 1: And uh, I stand by this list. Um, this is
Speaker 1: Chuck's holes weirdo foreign art house a dish. Oh Jesus,
Speaker 1: all right, No, do you have the technology to keep score?
Speaker 1: Meaning a pencil and a piece of paper? If by
Speaker 1: technology you mean yes, I will absolutely uh keep score.
Speaker 1: Do you need uh a few hours to figure out
Speaker 1: I need? I need some grid paper and a compass
Speaker 1: and uh t square pretty yeah, yeah, actually you know
Speaker 1: what I got? I need my notepad open and then
Speaker 1: I need something analog to write with. I wish everyone
Speaker 1: could see this and all was just so flustered, you guys.
Speaker 1: Anytime score keeping is happening just sends him into it dizzy.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more flustered than I don't have a pencil
Speaker 1: right at arm's reach. Give me one second, sure, and
Speaker 1: you know what, No, while you're off doing that, I
Speaker 1: want to give my book a plug. The Stuff you

Speaker 1: compendium of mostly interesting things you guys, Between you and me,
Speaker 1: the book isn't selling as well as they would like,
Speaker 1: and uh we really needed to sell better. So if
Speaker 1: you have it in your heart after all this great
Speaker 1: free content over the years, to jump in in pre order,
Speaker 1: it would mean a lot. Really, trust me, it would
Speaker 1: mean a big deal because we need to sell books
Speaker 1: and we are not selling books. And I know it's
Speaker 1: a tough time. But if you can manage to do so,
Speaker 1: pre order the book. Support black owned bookstores by going
Speaker 1: to you bit dot lee slash s y s k

Speaker 1: Look at this cool little I got a little little
Speaker 1: diary with it's even got it's from Moogie. You ever
Speaker 1: been to Moogie, New York. It's like it's sort of
Speaker 1: like Japanese Ikea. They still stationary and cool, like stuff
Speaker 1: for the home and you know, duvet covers and ship.
Speaker 1: But it's a really fun little store. So I have
Speaker 1: my Moogie notepad and a pen that I've confirmed works.
Speaker 1: And actually it's appropriate that I'm using this Moogie notepad
Speaker 1: because a lot of Asian cinema represents it. In my
Speaker 1: last here and chuck, but not so much that it's egregious.
Speaker 1: I tried to split it up. Um are you ready, sir?
Speaker 1: This episode brought to you by Mouji, by Mougie. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: to send us like once some of those cute little
Speaker 1: toothbrush holders or when they have It's it's a fun store.
Speaker 1: I always enjoyed going in there. Yeah, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: ready nol okayes in the category of it's a Chuck's holes,
Speaker 1: weirdo foreign art house, a dish, and I try to
Speaker 1: keep it pretty weirdo and not just like asembled I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get killed now. I I think there's something here
Speaker 1: that No. Look, let's just okay. So we'll start off
Speaker 1: with a little movie called The Holy Mountain. I have
Speaker 1: not seen Holy Mountain. You're familiar with Holy Mountain. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. It's yeah, it's great, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's one of the weirdest what's that director's name,
Speaker 1: He did El Topo and and all that stuff. Hang
Speaker 1: on me. Some people can look him up him do Yeah,
Speaker 1: Holy Mountains on the list. I've heard. It's quite a film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's from the seventies and you sent me three. It's
Speaker 1: categorized as a fantasy drama, but it's really just like
Speaker 1: a like a cinematic performance art piece. It's and then
Speaker 1: beautifully shot. The director is um Alejandro Jodorowski, who famously
Speaker 1: had a version of Doune that he did with the
Speaker 1: artist Mobius that was like gonna be made, but then
Speaker 1: it didn't. Happen. And there's actually a documentary called Jodorowski's
Speaker 1: Dune that's very good. Okay, I uh, my friend, by
Speaker 1: the way, I have that DVD because my very good
Speaker 1: friend Ryan McNeil sent me the Holy Mountain DVD. So
Speaker 1: you have this. You just haven't watched it. I just
Speaker 1: haven't watched it yet. Okay, Well I don't. You almost
Speaker 1: should get have a point for owning it, but never
Speaker 1: right now, okay. Uh. The next one is a very
Speaker 1: popular Japanese surrealist film called How Su or a k
Speaker 1: A House. Yes, I did see that, actually, uh huh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's what were your impressions of How Sue? Well, it's
Speaker 1: been a long time, but I do remember seeing that
Speaker 1: movie back in the day. It's written it's almost like
Speaker 1: a child wrote it or something, and if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: it was the director of the creators. Children sort of
Speaker 1: pieced together like this narrative of a dream they had
Speaker 1: and that was the kind of fodder for like the
Speaker 1: script or it may have even been more direct than that,
Speaker 1: where they actually wrote some of it. But it's like
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be a horror movie, and
Speaker 1: it kind of is, but it's really just a weirdest
Speaker 1: surrealist kind of fantasy comedy ROMP. Very very interesting movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you've seen how so we've gotta we gotta check
Speaker 1: for house in the in the left column. How do
Speaker 1: you spell that? H A U s U. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm looking now, just to uh the images iconic. It's
Speaker 1: like a cat like kind of like a crazy orange cat.
Speaker 1: I saw that when I in college, when I worked
Speaker 1: at that video store, when we got watching more weird
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Some of these might be from those days. Um, Okay,
Speaker 1: this next one, it's a little bit of a this
Speaker 1: is a low blow, but um. It's even this director
Speaker 1: who's very prolific and you've seen some of his films,
Speaker 1: I know, but this one is someone that people don't
Speaker 1: often talk about. But it's called The Happiness of the
Speaker 1: Kata kuris never heard of it. It is from the
Speaker 1: director of Audition, which I know you've seen and are
Speaker 1: a fan of. But it's like a musical that is
Speaker 1: somewhere between Bollywood and like the sound of music, but
Speaker 1: it's all based around these murderers that keep happening in
Speaker 1: this like mountain inn that this family opens. Um and
Speaker 1: there's like supposed to be a highway that's going to
Speaker 1: be built. But it has claymation at times. Uh, it
Speaker 1: has hardcore violence and it also has songs and uh
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful, surreal little little movie. All right, okay,
Speaker 1: all right. Um. Next we have the movie Fantastic Planet. No, no,
Speaker 1: you've clearly designed this list to skunk me and and
Speaker 1: I will remember just say just keep moving. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know that movie. Never heard of it. It's this,
Speaker 1: it's the sixties animated movie. It's like kind of like
Speaker 1: alien creatures. It's it's it's it's pretty popular. Um okay. Uh.
Speaker 1: Next we have eight and a half. Yes, I did
Speaker 1: see that, the Fellini Filtain. I think that that qualifies
Speaker 1: as a weirdo art house or an art house. All right, um.
Speaker 1: Next we have a movie called Tetsuo the Iron Man. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did see that same college years. Uh. That movie
Speaker 1: was fucked up. Yeah. It's like all black and white,
Speaker 1: like crazy body horror metamorphosis into this like weird monster
Speaker 1: with this dude who was like a businessman and he
Speaker 1: becomes this like aberration with tubes coming out of his body.
Speaker 1: But it's it's it doesn't have a plot exactly. It's
Speaker 1: it's almost like a weird nine inch Nails video or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Brothers Quay come to mind very much. So okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good segue there. Next is a movie, one
Speaker 1: of the only there's a few, but one of the
Speaker 1: few full feature link movies from a an animator and artist,
Speaker 1: very in line with the Brothers Quay. Uh named um
Speaker 1: oh gosh, why am I forgetting his names? I did?
Speaker 1: I did the set up so well Brown, Oh stop,
Speaker 1: it's it's uh he's uh, he's he's he's Scandinaviy and
Speaker 1: he he did him. His name is Jan svenk Meyer
Speaker 1: is his name. And the movie is called Alice and
Speaker 1: it's like Alice in Wonderland, but with like stop motion
Speaker 1: kind of weirdness. Um no, definitely, now it's good. I'd recommend.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of like taxidermy little critters in it
Speaker 1: that he animates. It's it's very surreal. Okay, how about
Speaker 1: Holy Motors. Have not seen that one yet, that's on
Speaker 1: the list. That was the Justin McElroy that was on
Speaker 1: his list to cover, but we ended up doing the
Speaker 1: other movie instead. But Motor is cool. I've only seen
Speaker 1: it once. Sinces been a while. I'd like to see
Speaker 1: it again, but i'd really be I think you would
Speaker 1: dig it. It would really be interested to hear your
Speaker 1: take on that. Um okay, moving on. We have the
Speaker 1: Saddest Music in the world. Never heard of it. It's
Speaker 1: a Canadian movie with Isabella Roussellini in it, and um,
Speaker 1: it's saddest, can't It's not super old. It came out
Speaker 1: maybe in like the early two thousands, and it's about
Speaker 1: this competition, um to create the saddest music in the world.
Speaker 1: And there's a part where, like her characters leg is
Speaker 1: made out of a giant glass like beer. It's full
Speaker 1: of beer. Like she's got like this false leg that's
Speaker 1: full of beer. It's very very strange. Who else is in?
Speaker 1: His name is Guy Madden? And I believe he did
Speaker 1: The Cook, the Thief, the Wife? Oh sure, maybe that
Speaker 1: movie did he do? That? Was that was Peter No? No,
Speaker 1: that was Peter Greenaway. You're absolutely right, but I I
Speaker 1: kind of connect them for some reason. He did a
Speaker 1: movie called The Forbidden Room. What else did he do
Speaker 1: that was really well known? Sounds familiar? He sure does.
Speaker 1: And it's been a minute since I've seen this. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to see what else he did. Okay, he's got
Speaker 1: a lot of like like shorts and stuff. Um anyway, okay,
Speaker 1: moving on. I'm sorry, Chuck, I didn't mean just I
Speaker 1: didn't mean to Okay, this is not my genre, but
Speaker 1: uh yeah, let's let's march on. Okay, al right, here
Speaker 1: we go. How about the Science of Sleep? Oh sure, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one of the lesser one of the lesser
Speaker 1: known I think, Uh, what's Michelle Gondry films? Yes, but
Speaker 1: a movie people have heard of, so I do appreciate that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. And it's you know, and it had a
Speaker 1: good theatrical run. Most of these have. Um, okay, here
Speaker 1: we go. How about Suspiria? Yes, yeah, the original, the original. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I covered that on this very show. Oh whose movie
Speaker 1: was that? Joe Garden came back on for a second appearance,
Speaker 1: or maybe that was his first appearance. Uh to do
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Joe comes on in October to do
Speaker 1: scary movies because he is a It was our Gento's
Speaker 1: birthday a couple of days ago. Actually, Um, that's a
Speaker 1: that's a really special movie. It's interesting because it's like
Speaker 1: a lot of his movies are very cheesy, and this
Speaker 1: one it succeeds despite sort of the canned the campiness
Speaker 1: of the acting. It's just a really beautifully shot designed movie.
Speaker 1: Are on our score and our number? Five? And how
Speaker 1: many have we? Where are we on the let's we've
Speaker 1: done one? Three? Sorry I went out of order a
Speaker 1: little bit, one to three, four, five, six, seven, eight ships.
Speaker 1: I should have gone in order I needed. How do
Speaker 1: you across these? So you're clearly not You don't have
Speaker 1: a no column. You just have a yes column. Right,
Speaker 1: you have a scenic column and not a not. Yeah. O, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. Fuck. I did screw it up, didn't I?
Speaker 1: This is great. You put me on the spot with
Speaker 1: the scoring stuff. Chuck, this isn't my well we we
Speaker 1: we we we got this, okay, Um, we're getting close. Uh. Next,
Speaker 1: we have a very uh well known and respected animated
Speaker 1: Japanese anime film, uh called Akira. I never saw a Kira, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you gotta see a Kira. I haven't seen any anime
Speaker 1: really really, Yeah, there's something you know. There's the thing
Speaker 1: about anime like it's it can be so niche and
Speaker 1: so like some of it's really a little twee and
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, over the over the top
Speaker 1: and sort of silly, and you know there's huge fandoms
Speaker 1: surrounding it, but there's a there's a handful that are
Speaker 1: just classics, like all the Miyazaki pictures, which are all
Speaker 1: on HBO Max. Now, by the way, would really recommend
Speaker 1: watching some of those with Ruby, even as one called
Speaker 1: p you know, sort of a retelling of the Little Mermaid,
Speaker 1: and it's just that one really great. But Akira is
Speaker 1: like when people talk about cyberpunk, you know, like that
Speaker 1: is a Kira. It along with I would say Ridley
Speaker 1: Scott and Blade Runner kind of established the whole vibe
Speaker 1: of like that cyberpunk neo Tokyo kind of situation. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: really important movie for for that kind of style. Um, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: we're getting close. Um we've got okay, how about un
Speaker 1: Chien and Deliu? Uh No, I never saw that. I
Speaker 1: haven't either, But have you seen at least the slicing
Speaker 1: up eyeballs ye worth their snuff? At least has seen
Speaker 1: that clip. We're we're putting that in a yes because
Speaker 1: that's all you need. Oh no, no, no, don't put
Speaker 1: any yes. I haven't seen it. Well, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: it either, but I still feel like I've seen enough
Speaker 1: of it to say that I've seen it. But um,
Speaker 1: you're right, okay, Uh, let's see. Now. We have a
Speaker 1: movie called Cash, a French film that was was one
Speaker 1: of Connall's big faves. I think he came on the
Speaker 1: show to talk about it one time. Cache is super cool. Okay,
Speaker 1: what's that director's name? Oh, to do like the White
Speaker 1: Ribbon and stuff and Michael, uh what's his name is
Speaker 1: Michael something? Let's see it is Michael haneke hannecky hannek. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's German, that's right. Um. And yeah, the White Ribbon
Speaker 1: is also great. I need to get more into his
Speaker 1: catalog because that's a really cool movie. Cache. It's sort
Speaker 1: of like Hitchcock e in where there's like a kind
Speaker 1: of paranoid you know, perspective where you don't quite know
Speaker 1: who the killer is and you keep kind of they
Speaker 1: keep second guessing you, and um, it's about surveillance and
Speaker 1: sort of being like watched, and there's that. It's it's
Speaker 1: very very well done. I really love Cash. Okay, great good?
Speaker 1: Um yeah, okay, okay, where are we at? Uh? So?
Speaker 1: Let's do Okay, how about this a movie, a Greek
Speaker 1: movie that was the first movie by this filmmaker who's
Speaker 1: now become much more well known, called dog Tooth. Uh
Speaker 1: did not see dog Tooth? Did you see his others? Though?
Speaker 1: Like you're speaking of Lanthamos Lanthemos, your goes Lanthemos one
Speaker 1: of the best names in cinema. Yeah, the favorite, go
Speaker 1: back to dog Tooth. Yet, Yeah, dog Tooth is good.
Speaker 1: It's a it's it's an interesting setup. It's like this
Speaker 1: family that lives off the grid and and they don't
Speaker 1: know about normal things, and they have the different words
Speaker 1: for things like television and toothbrushes, and it's that's weird,
Speaker 1: isolated kind of thing. But it's it's what they call
Speaker 1: um oh gosh, I can't remember exactly, but dog like
Speaker 1: when you get your dog teeth, the dog tooth, it's
Speaker 1: like becoming an adult or something like that. It's it's yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And there's a part where I think
Speaker 1: the character like pulls out her teeth because she doesn't
Speaker 1: want to grow up. Yeah, it's it's it's pretty intense. Alright,
Speaker 1: we're almost we're almost done, and then I'll do the tally.
Speaker 1: We can edit it out. I'll make it faster than
Speaker 1: the magic of editing. Um. Okay, how about a movie
Speaker 1: called Salo Nope, I never heard of it. Salo is
Speaker 1: is Uh. It's like based on the Marquet dissad stuff
Speaker 1: and it's like supposed to be what it's like. There's
Speaker 1: a Criterion release of it. It's supposed to be one
Speaker 1: of the most disturbing movies ever where there's like really
Speaker 1: like sadistic kind of hedonistic behavior and sex. I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. Now. I definitely didn't
Speaker 1: see this, but I have heard about it. It's supposed
Speaker 1: to be good. Christ, Now, why would anyone see this movie? Exactly?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I just I was looking at
Speaker 1: surrealist cinema on the list and this one came up,
Speaker 1: and I definitely remember it's called Salo or the one
Speaker 1: and twenty Days of Sodom. There you have it, all right,
Speaker 1: I did a bad job, Chuck, how you're here? A
Speaker 1: googe one we've talked about on the show before, the
Speaker 1: Tarkovski film Stalker. Yes, I did see Stalker, saying college
Speaker 1: visit video. Oh gosh, Yeah, that's vision video is huge
Speaker 1: for me. R I P. All of those locations are
Speaker 1: not close. It is sad um Okay, we're almost done here,
Speaker 1: we have just a few more um and you know,
Speaker 1: he's the thing to chuck, i'd reckon. All of these
Speaker 1: are movies that were important to me kind of as
Speaker 1: I was getting more into weird cinema and then a
Speaker 1: lot of Asian cinema. So I would I would stand
Speaker 1: by all of these except for the few that I
Speaker 1: haven't seen that I just threw in to fill off
Speaker 1: the list. But this one in particular was one that
Speaker 1: I discovered when I was going through my kind of
Speaker 1: Korean and Japanese cinema period. And it's called Save the
Speaker 1: Green Planet. Never heard of it, okay. It's a Chinese
Speaker 1: movie about like aliens kind of coming to Earth, but
Speaker 1: also like is the guy just insane? Does he really
Speaker 1: know the aliens are coming? Or is he like absolutely
Speaker 1: lee out of his mind? And then you kind of
Speaker 1: decide whether he is or isn't. And it's a lot
Speaker 1: of environmental kind of bent to it and conservation. But
Speaker 1: it's very funny, very very interesting movie. Save the Green Planet. Okay.
Speaker 1: Um last but not Okay, we got a couple more
Speaker 1: uh eachy The Killer It is another uh movie by
Speaker 1: the guy that made Audition. It's like a comic book
Speaker 1: kind of you know, like it's action, but it's also
Speaker 1: like super heavy on the gore and like you know,
Speaker 1: splattery kind of stuff. Very much like a Tarantino style movie,
Speaker 1: but like even more bonkers. Um, it's not for everybody,
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's one that this kind of makes
Speaker 1: the list of like a lot of interesting Japanese movies
Speaker 1: from the early two thousands. Um. And finally we have
Speaker 1: a movie called Survive Style five plus Never al Right,
Speaker 1: I think that's it five Style five five plus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's really good. It's sort of like
Speaker 1: almost like it's one of those movies where there's all
Speaker 1: these different weird characters that sort of come come together
Speaker 1: and cross paths in interesting ways, and it's really stylized,
Speaker 1: and it's like there's like a lion tamer character and
Speaker 1: there's like a like a wealthy kind of couple, and
Speaker 1: there's all these like different and it's it's definitely got
Speaker 1: like some surrealist qualities to it, but it's it's ultimately
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound It's not what it sounds like. It
Speaker 1: sounds like it would be like Battle Royale or some
Speaker 1: kind of like you know, uh, murderer movie, and it's
Speaker 1: not at all. It's very much like an interesting, weird,
Speaker 1: kind of hyper edited, uh kind of story about Japan,
Speaker 1: very interesting movie. I got a lot of work to do. No,
Speaker 1: how do mean? Guys? Yeah, you did? You did seven?
Speaker 1: Seven got seven out of twenty. Look, I didn't design
Speaker 1: this to fail. I designed to to to engender conversation. Never,
Speaker 1: You're never gonna ask me to do this segment ever again.
Speaker 1: I totally will. It's that I don't mind failing miserably null.
Speaker 1: I can. I can take it on the chin. So
Speaker 1: don't don't you feel bad? Okay, I don't. But I've
Speaker 1: I've I've never been a few that you've thrown at
Speaker 1: me that I've that I've whipped on as well. But you,
Speaker 1: you do tended to be a little more forgiving, and
Speaker 1: I was trying to. I was trying to just you know,
Speaker 1: these are movies that are important to me, and I
Speaker 1: think you did almost all of them. I think even
Speaker 1: the ones that that that seem a little intense um
Speaker 1: because I think we have a lot of stuff in
Speaker 1: common in terms of our musical well musical but also
Speaker 1: cinematic obviously taste total agree, my friend. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: well that is it for this week. Everyone. I love
Speaker 1: that we got some new games going with that Casey
Speaker 1: game last week and now filling up some chuck holes.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of holes to fill down thele
Speaker 1: I need to chuck. I think we all do. And
Speaker 1: thank you for listening everyone, and we'll see you next week.
