Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to Movie Crush. I'm Chuck. I'm no, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: May I have another mini crush? Yes, you haven't even
Speaker 1: seen that movie, have you. I I've tried watching it, Chuck.
Speaker 1: Just that's your ref though that you're dropping. Well, isn't
Speaker 1: that where they get the spankings? Yeah, Kevin Bacon. Kevin
Speaker 1: Bacon's in that. Yeah, he's one of the spankers, the spanker.
Speaker 1: I think he's getting spanked. Yeah, I think he's getting Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we've talked about this. No,
Speaker 1: I know, I know what I talked about with it
Speaker 1: was my friend Harry who was visiting me, who went
Speaker 1: to see Fantastic. You heard a King Gizzard in the
Speaker 1: Lizard Wizard, Chuck, I have a very unfortunate name there. Amazing.
Speaker 1: They're the best live band I've ever seen in my life,
Speaker 1: the best among among the top three. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how. They're just like so
Speaker 1: tight and it's like, you know, yeah, they're they're very psychedelic.
Speaker 1: If you can't tell about the name, but they don't
Speaker 1: stop like they just like their songs kind of blend
Speaker 1: into the next one. And they have two drummers and
Speaker 1: just it was the tabernacle, which is a used to
Speaker 1: be a church, and it was a pit like I'd
Speaker 1: never seen before. It looked like a swirling yes yes
Speaker 1: down on the ship. It was really fun. Um. I
Speaker 1: can just picture you there allinol. Yeah. And we like
Speaker 1: their new record sounds like early Metallica. It's very thrash metal.
Speaker 1: And then like they put out six records in I think,
Speaker 1: and they're all independently recorded and released and distributed. They
Speaker 1: have their own label, um, and they're all good records.
Speaker 1: Some of them are just like super proggy cyc Rocks.
Speaker 1: Some of them are kind of more jazz. Some of
Speaker 1: them are sort of more electronic e Like they're all
Speaker 1: over the place. Come out man, right, Um, I'll check
Speaker 1: it out. I gotta get past that name. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: call him, call him King Gizz. So that's what the
Speaker 1: giz heads call him. Oh, I think its head dude.
Speaker 1: People follow them on tour. They're like, I believe it
Speaker 1: worship It sounds like a band. People would follow him there,
Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm not that guy though. Like I
Speaker 1: I saw this band Silent Scene and let that too.
Speaker 1: But I went to the first time. His friend just
Speaker 1: told me about him and I said the same thing.
Speaker 1: I said, I've heard of that name. It's so sort
Speaker 1: of so stupid sounding. Maybe it's good. And I went
Speaker 1: and it just blew my mind. I've seen every time
Speaker 1: I could. I've seen three times. Is my third time Sea. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes a band name, well you'll think it's
Speaker 1: kind of a dumb name, is a stupid band name,
Speaker 1: and I see, I love that. Um. When I first
Speaker 1: heard I remember the day my friend Chris Cox handed
Speaker 1: me a Modest Mouse c d Um Lonesome Crowded West,
Speaker 1: and I went, that's the worst band name I've ever heard,
Speaker 1: Modest Mouse And ended up being a huge, huge fan
Speaker 1: band up until a certain point and then not as much. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They they never really just like Tank though, I mean
Speaker 1: even like float On. It is like it's a pretty
Speaker 1: damn good song. You know. It was fine. That's when
Speaker 1: I was sort of started to wayne and I don't
Speaker 1: like the up popular I didn't, but I didn't love
Speaker 1: those albums as much. Yeah. That and just to go
Speaker 1: back around what I was saying, the conversation was happ
Speaker 1: with my friend Harry, who, by the way, he's a
Speaker 1: guy who owned a record store in my hometown turned
Speaker 1: me onto so much formative music for me when I
Speaker 1: was younger, and he's one of these like life for
Speaker 1: music snob types who are very hard to get them
Speaker 1: excited about something. I turned him onto King Gizzard and
Speaker 1: he went out and bought all of their stuff on
Speaker 1: vinyl and they have a pile of records. He doesn't
Speaker 1: do that, and he came specifically for this show and
Speaker 1: he had an absolute blastem right now. That's how I
Speaker 1: praise if your music is not print liked it. And
Speaker 1: he's the one who said, I just don't understand Animal
Speaker 1: House because I don't get the frame of reference because
Speaker 1: I wasn't how we went down this rabbit hole because
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't around during that time that up
Speaker 1: of comedy was sort of more prevalent. And it's just
Speaker 1: as something that maybe like either clicks for you or
Speaker 1: it doesn't, and it it doesn't for me. Got you
Speaker 1: by the way, No, I want to isolate that, uh
Speaker 1: that sound. I don't think that show we did last
Speaker 1: Friday was the best. Have you listened to it? No? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it wasn't the best. We were clearly, you know, shuffling,
Speaker 1: trying to trying to get some material. It was fine.
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool, but you know, people like
Speaker 1: we actually try in here, we do try, and uh,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was our best episode. But your
Speaker 1: sound that you made in the Mandalorian trailer when Verner
Speaker 1: Hertzog's voice happened, I want to isolate that sound and
Speaker 1: then use it as recurring. Uh, it's it's been done.
Speaker 1: It's been dubbed the noel Helm scream. Did you see
Speaker 1: that on the On the message, somebody said that the
Speaker 1: noel Helm scream? And I also I very rarely chime in,
Speaker 1: uh negatively ever, we even when people are like trashing
Speaker 1: something online. But somebody said something to the effect of
Speaker 1: like he made that scream for Verner Herzog. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are you implying? What are you getting at? What's
Speaker 1: your point? Thousand times? Yes, yeah, I think there was.
Speaker 1: There was. There was just such a inherently negative comment
Speaker 1: with no qualifications whatsoever. I just wanted to chime in
Speaker 1: and be like, what's your problem, buddy? Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: weird because Verner Herzog's speaking voice is universally loved and exactly.
Speaker 1: It's like saying you made that voice over that sound
Speaker 1: over here and Christopher walking like exactly. It's an iconic voice.
Speaker 1: But for me, I love the voice. I love hearing
Speaker 1: it out of context like that with a cut to
Speaker 1: black and you hear Vernon. Of course, I had a
Speaker 1: legitimate human emotion. I was sitting here and witnessed it
Speaker 1: and thought it was like one of the funniest things.
Speaker 1: I felt feels in my heart place for that one.
Speaker 1: But I also I like Verner Herzel. He's one of
Speaker 1: the rare filmmakers that is amazing, documentaries amazing and narrative.
Speaker 1: He's a great actor. He's just a smart, fascinating Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm a huge, huge fan of it. Totally, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm way down with that. Could you imagine if we
Speaker 1: could get him on the show. Oh god, you would
Speaker 1: have to sit down that I could not just do
Speaker 1: that interview without you in the room. I would love, dude,
Speaker 1: I would I would be very that would be very upset. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you do a good burner. I tried to what if
Speaker 1: you could interview Werner Herzok in character as Werner Herzog.
Speaker 1: That's too much a black hole would open up and
Speaker 1: swallow up. Maybe next April Fools, we'll get a we'll
Speaker 1: get Kevin Pollack on it. Come to brush up on
Speaker 1: his you know, he is a great urner, is your boy,
Speaker 1: Paul F. Tompkins, He is Werner on comedy bank Bag.
Speaker 1: It's a recurring thing. Yeah, that's p F. T He
Speaker 1: might do it all right, here we go, No, we're
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna start off with the social studies about
Speaker 1: social regions and places where movies are set that they
Speaker 1: really just nailed. And basically I'm sort of asking, like,
Speaker 1: has a movie ever been made from about the place
Speaker 1: where you were from that just really really nailed it?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Yeah? And how? Because that's a
Speaker 1: big deal when someone especially if it's not like New
Speaker 1: York City, although that's coming up in a second, So
Speaker 1: when someone makes a movie about the place where you're from,
Speaker 1: there could be a lot of nerves going in that
Speaker 1: film for how your place is portrayed. Absolutely, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, I mean, you know, with Atlanta,
Speaker 1: it's a little different, I guess because so much of
Speaker 1: is filmed here and the identity of the city is
Speaker 1: very like you know, it's it's not about Atlanta. But
Speaker 1: then you had a movie like Baby Driver, which I
Speaker 1: went into a little bit trepidacious. Only how are they
Speaker 1: going to make us everyone have Southern Actually they did
Speaker 1: a little bit of that, not too much. Well that's true,
Speaker 1: that not too much. Lead female with the waitress she
Speaker 1: sort of did. Alright, let's get it going here. Uh oh.
Speaker 1: Our oldest friend Jenna van Valen Um, funny farm. I
Speaker 1: lived in a small town in New Hampshire for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Most hilarious accurate depiction of locals. Yeah, I could totally
Speaker 1: see that. Djokoski says Zodiac for the Bay Area in nostalgia,
Speaker 1: even though the events were before his time. Um. One
Speaker 1: of our oldest of friends, Lisa to share a says Ladybird. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean only big movie based in Secretary. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's kind of cool when that happens. You know, they
Speaker 1: recently did a thing four did it the promotional thing
Speaker 1: where they projected movies that were based in places in
Speaker 1: on billboards in those places and had people come and
Speaker 1: it was like free screenings and they did um uh
Speaker 1: good time. And I believe in queens and queens Boulevards
Speaker 1: and they that's so good. And they did the The
Speaker 1: Spectacular Now, which is an at in Athens, and they
Speaker 1: did that an Athene and they did they did Um
Speaker 1: Lady Burden in Sacramento. It was a cool thing. It
Speaker 1: was all about tying the film to the place, for sure.
Speaker 1: One of our old friends, Louis Silva says, not a movie,
Speaker 1: but King of the Hill on Garland, Texas is pretty
Speaker 1: spot on. One of our old friends, Kelly Butler Olson
Speaker 1: k BO says, the Good Place another TV show of
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is pretty hilarious. Interesting. I didn't know what was
Speaker 1: set there. I have to check that out. The Good Place,
Speaker 1: that's what she said, Jacksonville. But it's not meant to
Speaker 1: be a place though. I mean, it's like it's like,
Speaker 1: is it shot and Jacksonville Maybe that might be it.
Speaker 1: We're specifically talking about places that are like, this is
Speaker 1: the place sort of oh, and she qualifies it. I'm sorry, KBO.
Speaker 1: She says, not quite what you're looking for. So it's
Speaker 1: an adjacent comment. I'll tell you. Another good one is
Speaker 1: The Florida Projects, Yeah, which is a fantastic film. Boy
Speaker 1: really nails that, really nails it, and it's a tough
Speaker 1: interstate motel scene in central Florida. You were there. I
Speaker 1: spent a week there in Orlando, very strange place because
Speaker 1: it exists like solely for the purpose of feeding this
Speaker 1: kind of tourist machine. Right, It's interesting. It's almost like
Speaker 1: not a real place. But we found this dive bar
Speaker 1: called Cheers that we hung out in, like after all
Speaker 1: the hullabaloo stuff at the hotels, and that's where like
Speaker 1: all the kind of local people hang hung out. And
Speaker 1: it was neat to actually go from being in these
Speaker 1: convention centers and these like phony kind of like hotel
Speaker 1: ballrooms where people are from all over the place to
Speaker 1: being in like, Okay, here's what the Orlando people are like, right,
Speaker 1: and they were great. That's good. Do you make some friends? Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course always. Uh let me see here. This is
Speaker 1: funny enough to where I'm going to read it even
Speaker 1: though it's a gag comment. Our old friend j J
Speaker 1: Forbinos is train spotting. Perfect view of Columbus, Ohio. That's funny.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. Christy Richardson says coal miner's daughter
Speaker 1: was filmed near she lives pretty good job showing how
Speaker 1: hard scrabble Appealachian Appalachian life can be Melanie Kaupman, Always
Speaker 1: Sunny in Philadelphia gets a surprising amount, right, Jane, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite movies. Jana Rife. It's Gersta.
Speaker 1: Hear that name, Noel, you know what's coming up? Uh? No, run,
Speaker 1: Lola run ah, yes, lo La Rent. Lola Rent says,
Speaker 1: excellent depiction of what my beloved Berlin feels like. I
Speaker 1: love that movie, Rata. I think I said that right.
Speaker 1: Douglas Thompson says Snowtown really nailed a low economic housing situation.
Speaker 1: I don't know that show or a movie rather. Jennifer
Speaker 1: Mudge one of our old friends. Um, I'm stuck with
Speaker 1: period pieces from long before I was alive, movies like
Speaker 1: Robot Coop and eight Mile. So what is that Detroit? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: of course, yeah she didn't say Detroit. I guess it's
Speaker 1: just a given A mile is like is the area?
Speaker 1: I think? Yeah, enjoy it. It was a good movie
Speaker 1: for sure. R I p Curtis Hansen. Man's so sad
Speaker 1: that he's gone. Such a great filmmaker. That's right, which
Speaker 1: I'm sorry he was the directory. I know that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive. Although of a mile. Yeah, right, didn't
Speaker 1: he direct that? I thought it was somebody else. You
Speaker 1: might be right, Yeah, Curtis has Yeah, what what else
Speaker 1: did he do? Well? He did my one of my
Speaker 1: favorite movies all time, Wonder Boys. That's right. I love
Speaker 1: Wonder Boy, but I like Confidential of course, the Hand
Speaker 1: that Rocks the Cradle Wild. I like Confidential as a
Speaker 1: favorite as well. That'll be coming up soon. Everyone on
Speaker 1: the film noir series with Scottie. I'm plotting it out
Speaker 1: and all I've been cutting it too close. So I
Speaker 1: got a bunch of people lined up for filmmaker series. Nice.
Speaker 1: I haven't had many interviews come through for like you know, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, Chuck and I don't really care, but
Speaker 1: but maybe maybe it's time to just change the format
Speaker 1: of the show and just be a little more open
Speaker 1: about it. Well, that's already happened. What's happening. Have you
Speaker 1: discussed this? Yeah, it's it's just filmmaker series, film series.
Speaker 1: People that can come through town and get interviews in
Speaker 1: you and I goofing on. People love it. It's free
Speaker 1: form radio. It's that's exactly right. People love it. I
Speaker 1: always love freeform. People who love it love I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, and it's it's, it's. I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone is tuning in with an expectation like I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: the more open ended it is, I think the more
Speaker 1: adaptable it is for everybody. People who heard. We've heard
Speaker 1: some people who are like, Oh, if I don't know
Speaker 1: the celebrity or I don't know the movie, then I'm
Speaker 1: going to be less inclined to listen with this. It's
Speaker 1: like there's something for everybody, and now everyone knows Scotty
Speaker 1: and Casey and Pam. Pam. She needs to get back
Speaker 1: in here. I've been asking and asking. She's busy, nol.
Speaker 1: That's why Pam hasn't been on everybody. Michael Reads as
Speaker 1: Witness Lancaster, Pennsylvania really nailed it. The Amish refused to
Speaker 1: watch it. Well, I don't think Amish do they issue
Speaker 1: all media. I think they have some particularly strict rules
Speaker 1: around like see Witness, yeah, or like Room Room Springer
Speaker 1: is the thing where they let the kids go and
Speaker 1: go bat shit out in the real world and then
Speaker 1: they come back. Some of them never come back. There's
Speaker 1: a whole documentary about that called The Devil's Playgrounds. Devil's playgrounds, right.
Speaker 1: Don Morris, one of rold pals, agrees with you. Nol
Speaker 1: on the Florida Project, very dark side of central Florida
Speaker 1: towns Lee Leonard says, Zach and Mary make a porno
Speaker 1: nails the East Berg. A lot of movies set in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I've noticed that's where mind Hunter is shot. You've been
Speaker 1: watching the season two. No, I'm trying to finish season one.
Speaker 1: I fell off, even though it's really good. I just
Speaker 1: had a lot going on, and I've been, I've been.
Speaker 1: I'm back in so I'm trying to finish season one
Speaker 1: and then dive right into season two. You've seen, I
Speaker 1: think in through like three episodes of season two, and
Speaker 1: it's all about the Atlantic Shop murders, uh and more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, but that's a big fact that they're just
Speaker 1: it takes every episodes to even get to that because
Speaker 1: there's other stuff going on, you and there's some Manson
Speaker 1: stuff too. Yeah. I mean, I'm just now realizing the
Speaker 1: show is sort of a which is a great idea
Speaker 1: because true crime and all that stuff is such a
Speaker 1: big thing right now. It's like, hey, let's make a movie.
Speaker 1: It's like an all star game, right, and just trot
Speaker 1: out every single because a lot of these timelines overlap
Speaker 1: of either these people in prison that they're interviewing or
Speaker 1: showing the real time stuff of people that haven't been
Speaker 1: caught yet of course, so that's kind of one of
Speaker 1: the fun parts of the show. Yeah, I was looking
Speaker 1: because in the first season it's one particular guy they
Speaker 1: keep showing mainly, but they do other and they do others. No,
Speaker 1: I just mean the guy that's showing in real time
Speaker 1: doing this thing. He's the guy that works for the
Speaker 1: security company, right, and that's what they're doing so far
Speaker 1: in this one as well. Has he end up being
Speaker 1: the Is he the b t K Killer? Is that
Speaker 1: who that's supposed to be season two? In season one,
Speaker 1: there's a guy that they show and the cold opens
Speaker 1: works for a home security company, and you just kind
Speaker 1: of show him progressing through, but but then he doesn't
Speaker 1: really come up like in the actual show. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: having a hard time remembering season one now because they
Speaker 1: took so long in between. Yeah, the b t K
Speaker 1: is in season two, so maybe it was the same guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's him and they're setting it up for season two.
Speaker 1: That must be it. That must be it. I need
Speaker 1: to go back and rewatch season one. That took way
Speaker 1: too long of a break for me. I was quite
Speaker 1: a while to the point where I was like, do
Speaker 1: I even care anymore? It's dangerous ground. It can if
Speaker 1: you take too much time between an album or a
Speaker 1: movie or a TV show kind of time it right, No,
Speaker 1: Tim Lanigan's is good while Hunting really nail Boston except
Speaker 1: for the shitty fake accents. But those guys are from Boston. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone from Boston still bags on the Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: What about the what about the the departed? How are
Speaker 1: those accents the departed? I don't know. They probably get
Speaker 1: backed on too exciting people in Boston unless you're it's
Speaker 1: like any actor as a phony, even if they're like
Speaker 1: from Southee. There you go, like that sounds about right. No.
Speaker 1: I had eight lobster rolls on between Boston and Portland,
Speaker 1: Maine over my long weekend. They're fantastic. Well, I was
Speaker 1: trying to do a little thing where I could really
Speaker 1: just see all the varieties and vote on my best
Speaker 1: tour de lobster roll. And you know what my favorite
Speaker 1: one was. I think it was a gourmet shop in
Speaker 1: Cape Elizabeth, Maine, like just off to the side of
Speaker 1: the road see Salt Gourmet Shop. They did the best
Speaker 1: lobster roll the whole whole trip. It was so good.
Speaker 1: I went to an incredible dive bar that's apparently really beloved.
Speaker 1: I want to say, it's like Annie's Kitchen or something kitchen.
Speaker 1: Where was it in Boston like it was in Cambridge?
Speaker 1: It was? It was. It was very close to um
Speaker 1: the garage that that that like shopping center where there's
Speaker 1: like Newberry Comics is there. But anyway, it's it's a
Speaker 1: dive bar, like legitimate dive bar. But you can get
Speaker 1: a whole lobster at this dive bar. That doesn't surprised me.
Speaker 1: And it's great. And I had the lobster all there
Speaker 1: and it was it was fantastic. You could get lobsters
Speaker 1: in the Portland Airport on your way home and they
Speaker 1: would throw live lobsters in a box of I guess
Speaker 1: there's dry ice in there and hand it to you
Speaker 1: to get on the plane. Knoll live lobsters. Charlie's Kitchen,
Speaker 1: Charlie in Harvard Square had square you know what else
Speaker 1: they had in Portland, Maine and talk about charming me.
Speaker 1: Charming the pants off of me is on a sidewalk
Speaker 1: they will have like an oyster card. Yeah, like you
Speaker 1: can just walk up and the guy will like shuck
Speaker 1: you a couple of course that you'll slurp down. Love it. God,
Speaker 1: you've been to the Kimble House here in Atlanta? Oh sure,
Speaker 1: really good oysters. I can live on that stuff. No,
Speaker 1: I could be a desert island survivor. I think I
Speaker 1: think I could do it. You think so? Would just
Speaker 1: oh just you, you would just chuck? You would be
Speaker 1: I could live on shellfish and fish and seafood. Do
Speaker 1: you think you could catch a fish they're handed chuck
Speaker 1: or would you have to fashion yourself some sort of
Speaker 1: implement the spear, perhaps sort of a fishing pole. Oh boy?
Speaker 1: All right, now we're moving on to another regional thing.
Speaker 1: But this is New York movies specifically, which movie really
Speaker 1: nailed New York City? And I know it's not a movie, no,
Speaker 1: but I'm always on record of saying the show High
Speaker 1: Maintenance as doing one of the best jobs of nailing
Speaker 1: what real modern day New York City is like than
Speaker 1: anything else. I don't know, it's the show you'd like
Speaker 1: to it's one I haven't seen really, Chuck, No, No,
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. I've seen some of the web, you know,
Speaker 1: the shorts or whatever, but I need to get into it.
Speaker 1: I know that you're a huge fan. It makes sense though,
Speaker 1: from the perspective that it's shown, right, isn't it shown
Speaker 1: one from these bike guys that real New York It's
Speaker 1: real New Yorkers. It's everyday stuff. It's neighborhood stuff. It's
Speaker 1: nothing uh um, flashy about it. It's just real deal
Speaker 1: with the ideas. That's one character who delivers weed to
Speaker 1: lots of different customers. Yes, and that's sort of the framework.
Speaker 1: Does it adventure outside of that? But what it is,
Speaker 1: it's a show about New York stories, of course, told
Speaker 1: through this guy's, you know, point of view, sort of
Speaker 1: justin Eagles has Escape from New York. That's funny, he's laughing.
Speaker 1: He said, for Texas, never been to New York. So
Speaker 1: that's how much. That's how I envision it. Escape from
Speaker 1: New York and all was coming up in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks on the show. Yeah, but by the time
Speaker 1: this comes out, it might be kind of aligning because
Speaker 1: Dan Bush is coming in and talk about that cool.
Speaker 1: Can't wait Ethan you have an old Friends has Ghostbusters?
Speaker 1: Ian lyons his Ghostbusters or Elf alright, Christopher Steiner's his
Speaker 1: teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Are people talking with me a
Speaker 1: little bit? Wendy White says Arthur one of my favorite movies. Wendy,
Speaker 1: love it, love it, love it? The original or the remake?
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know, she says, I've
Speaker 1: seen neither. The original is a buloved all time classic comedy.
Speaker 1: The remake was scarbage. Is the remakes one with what's
Speaker 1: his face? No, Russell brands one of the other Russell.
Speaker 1: I would love to see Russell Crowe and Arthur. That
Speaker 1: would be really funny. Yeah, you just get drunk and
Speaker 1: beat everybody up this typecast. That would be so good. Uh,
Speaker 1: Emily Mica Thomas is do the right thing. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: really nailed New York for sure. Oldri and Kala mh
Speaker 1: says when Harry met Sally Vanessa Lopez of the Vanessa
Speaker 1: Squad two hundred cigarettes and when Harry met Sally, what's
Speaker 1: your favorite New York movie? No, I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: about it, and I'll tell you one that is not.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's New York as a stand in for
Speaker 1: this kind of sci fi city. So this may sound
Speaker 1: like I'm trolling, but I'm not. The movie Dark City. Um,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, set in the thirties or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's Uh, it's really good. It has a Coney Island
Speaker 1: kind of like place, and it's sort of captures sort
Speaker 1: of the I don't know, the interesting dark kind of
Speaker 1: like grittiness of New York in a fun way. Um,
Speaker 1: but I think Taxi Driver is a really good New
Speaker 1: York movie. I mean, kid, it really is very real
Speaker 1: for the time and very like gritty, and it seems
Speaker 1: very much shot on location. None of it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: made up. It seems very it's attention to detail is
Speaker 1: very honed in, very on location feel, you know, not
Speaker 1: nothing that's like kind of phony about it. Nothing phony
Speaker 1: about it, agreed. Old friend Chris Bobbitt says, scent of
Speaker 1: a woman who a he typed that out. Dylan Nichols says,
Speaker 1: gangs of New York. A lot of Scorsese in here,
Speaker 1: of course. Joe f says the Royal tininbounds like Wes
Speaker 1: Anderson's version of New York. Yeah, totally one of our
Speaker 1: old friends. John Michalep says, Quick Change with Bill Murray
Speaker 1: and Gina Davis and Randy Quaid. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: good New York movie. Keeping the Faith with Ed Norton
Speaker 1: says Jody Sells. Queen Paul Wilder says Manhattan. It's beautiful,
Speaker 1: it's perfect, it's funny, it's complicated. The photography in that movie,
Speaker 1: by I'm not mistaken, the great Gordon Willis gorgeous. You know.
Speaker 1: Gordon Willis's nickname was I don't I'm not even familiar.
Speaker 1: He's one of the great cinematographers. His nickname, I believe,
Speaker 1: was the um Master of Darkness, now Lord of Darkness,
Speaker 1: Prince of Darkness, Prince of Darkness, because he was dark
Speaker 1: frames very dark. He's I mean, there are some shots
Speaker 1: in Manhattan that you can barely see. Shout the Godfather,
Speaker 1: Annie Hall, all the President's men, Clute, the Godfather too cheese,
Speaker 1: that's intimidating, Clute. Was that one that you mentioned that
Speaker 1: I'd never heard of a sound? Fascinating? I really want
Speaker 1: to check out The Devil's Own Purple Rose of Cairo
Speaker 1: start us Memories, Broadway, Danny Rose interiors. Most of the
Speaker 1: Woody Allen stuff, the paper Chase, Little Murders, the money Pit,
Speaker 1: presumed innocent boy. That is really a intimidating resume from
Speaker 1: the late Great Gordon Willis died five years ago. Nol
Speaker 1: Uh one fine day, says Amanda Patterson. Mini tour of
Speaker 1: New York with a nice little story. Tanya Boyd says
Speaker 1: home alone too, and uh, elf down. Castellanano, Sorry, Castellano,
Speaker 1: one of our old friends says Barefoot in the Park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was such a good movie. Christopher Renny says, and
Speaker 1: let's finish it up with Chad Burnt with the Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 1: Great New York movie. I'm going to finish it off
Speaker 1: the day with people asked them what they were looking
Speaker 1: forward to for the rest of the year. Uh, like
Speaker 1: movies coming out in the fall holiday season. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've noticed how bad it's been lately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess so. I don't know. Post summer prefall lull.
Speaker 1: Is that what they call it? Is that where they
Speaker 1: dumped the shitty movies? Yeah, and I'm sure there is
Speaker 1: a name within the industry for this time of year,
Speaker 1: but it's the worst, Like after Once upon a time
Speaker 1: in Hollywood came out. It's kind of been ship the dregs,
Speaker 1: the dull drums, the dog days, the dog days of Summer,
Speaker 1: that's probably what they call it. But I posted a
Speaker 1: thing from Collider uh of movie releases for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year, and this is when all the good
Speaker 1: stuff comes out. So I was kind of curious, what
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to? Nothing springs directly to mind,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure that if I don't, let's hear some
Speaker 1: some upcoming picks. One of our oldest friends, Greta Coning,
Speaker 1: says Little Women, I totally want to see that. That
Speaker 1: trailer looks great, and it's the follow up the Joker movie.
Speaker 1: I'm very much looking forward to the Joker movie and
Speaker 1: I want to see nothing more. In fact, that last
Speaker 1: trailer was too much, so so good, so good. It
Speaker 1: looks like a combination of Taxi Driver and The King
Speaker 1: of Comedy. Sure, I mean, I think it was. It
Speaker 1: very much wears that on its sleeve. Heather Ingram says
Speaker 1: the Rise of Skywalker, of course, Brett Giles again stays
Speaker 1: Star Wars. Michelle Johnson says Zombie Land too, and a
Speaker 1: beautiful day in the name Buhborhood I'm not excited about
Speaker 1: that one. No, No, he doesn't. It's weird casting to me.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I just I just see Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1: That's that's how I see. I don't know stuff. Alex
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh says, uh, really ready for Brad Pitt and the
Speaker 1: thoughtful sci fi ad Astra that does look good. Haven't
Speaker 1: heard that one? Wait? No, I have, yes, I have
Speaker 1: space space pretty cool. Terry Kalajo, our old friend, says,
Speaker 1: I just saw the trailers for Doctor Sleep in the
Speaker 1: Terminator movie. Um, but really down in Abbey, hands down,
Speaker 1: there's a Downton Navvy movie. Really, I can't wait. Cool.
Speaker 1: Doctor Sleep is the sequel to The Shiny Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I did read that book and it's cool. And then
Speaker 1: the trailer looks greatly very much shot in Atlanta too.
Speaker 1: There's actually a scene where you can see it in
Speaker 1: the trailer. That's the Plaza Movie Theater are thought of
Speaker 1: another one, um The Lighthouse, which is with the Robert
Speaker 1: Eggers who did The Witch who we I think we
Speaker 1: both very enjoyed his new one. That's sort of an
Speaker 1: existential love Aftian horror nightmare taking place on a maroon
Speaker 1: on island with the lighthouse and black and white shot
Speaker 1: in a weird aspect ratio, like it's like a tall
Speaker 1: frame but skinny frame, like a lighthouse. Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: talking to Casey. He saw it that can and said
Speaker 1: it was great. Yeah, I can't wait. You know, I
Speaker 1: wrote a script like that, so you can't wait, you did, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a bottle movie like that. Like I wanted to
Speaker 1: try and write a thriller. I'd never written a thriller,
Speaker 1: so it was sort of like an exercise. And like
Speaker 1: five years ago, Yeah, I wrote a period piece lighthouse,
Speaker 1: sort of thriller murder, and then this came out, and
Speaker 1: not that anything was never gonna happen with mine anyway,
Speaker 1: but it surely can't now. Yeah, it's dead in the water.
Speaker 1: It looks really cool. Um Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 1: Robert Agress is a very interesting young filmmaker to watch
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I think so too, David Eckers. No,
Speaker 1: Robert Robert Davi is the is the writer, and I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any relation. I don't think there is either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Michael Reads says, Jojo Rabbit, that is a new one
Speaker 1: from Takewa. Anything that guy puts out I will watch
Speaker 1: till the End of Time. He's got a weird one
Speaker 1: coming out. I saw trailer for Jojoe Rabbit. Is it
Speaker 1: the Nazi one? Yeah? It looks crazy. It looks really crazy.
Speaker 1: Will he is on my number one list of like
Speaker 1: I will go see anything he ever does. Yeah, he's fantastic.
Speaker 1: He's doing the voice of one of the droids in
Speaker 1: an upcoming Star Wars property. I don't remember if it's
Speaker 1: the movie or if it's the new movie, or if
Speaker 1: it's one of the Disney Plus things, but he's fully
Speaker 1: voicing one of the droids with his voice that the
Speaker 1: talks a lot. That's weird because he just did that
Speaker 1: in Star Wars he did. Yeah, Well that's what must
Speaker 1: of what I'm talking about. What do you mean, which
Speaker 1: what did he do? He did a voice and uh
Speaker 1: oh no, and one of the and one of the
Speaker 1: Marble movies, didn't he Yeah, he was the voice of
Speaker 1: the rock Monster, the Rock Guy, and and and the Thoora.
Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. He directed Ragnarok, right, he
Speaker 1: directed that one, and he was the voice in that one. Yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm thinking. It's a good movie. Carolyn Gas
Speaker 1: and the Old Friends says downt Nabby as well and
Speaker 1: dr Sleep and Star Wars. Genevan Valen says Cats. I
Speaker 1: still refused to believe that the trailers for Cats are real.
Speaker 1: I don't know cats, but that trailer looked pretty interesting
Speaker 1: to me. It just looks terrifying and nightmare fuel ish
Speaker 1: and uncanny valley bizarre. Who asked for this movie? Ish?
Speaker 1: You know, I think people are excited about it. That's
Speaker 1: the Internet is upset about it. That's what I saw
Speaker 1: the Internet being thrilled to. He did. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: It's maybe polarizing, but that's gonna be smash it. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the thing about Cats. You said you're not
Speaker 1: a cats person, right, Well you're a cat person, but
Speaker 1: not a cat's person. Yeah. I saw it when I
Speaker 1: was pretty young, and I'm really in the Broadway Love
Speaker 1: Lay Miss Love fam of the opera, Little that stuff.
Speaker 1: I saw Cats, and I was like, what the funk
Speaker 1: is this? I'm sure I don't get it. I don't
Speaker 1: know who this is for. It's not for me, you know, Um,
Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of weird dancing cats kind of
Speaker 1: spouting nonsense poetry. You know. Sorry, t any Cats fans
Speaker 1: out there. Tell me why I'm wrong, Tell me, tell
Speaker 1: me why I'm wrong. Yeah, well, we'll start a threat

Speaker 1: he might have been in that. Yeah, I know Breck
Speaker 1: and Meyer was in it. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what Todd Phillips first thing is, I
Speaker 1: might not know. So yeah, g g Allen documentary. Yeah

Speaker 1: who is not directing the new Star Wars movie. We
Speaker 1: got raked over the coals for that one. He's not.
