Hey, 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:54.360 na go nose full, it's not. Um. I had an 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.480 interesting weekend, Yeah, man, I want to hear about. Well, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.560 first of all, let's just get going with the fact 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.040 that on last Friday, I did the saddest movie Crush ever. 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.759 No sitting in this goddamn room alone. Ramsy even left. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.199 He just hit records, just like talking to the ether. 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.600 Just it's strange yelling into the abyss. It's like the 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:21.040 true definition of a podcast started, which is some sad, chubby, 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.560 middle aged, lonely guy by himself in a room talking 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.960 to nobody. Well, now you know the life of Jonathan Strickland, 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.960 only he's super jacked. Now. Uh so, yeah, we got 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:34.720 caught with her pants, don Old because you were away, 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.880 I didn't know that you were traveling. You went to 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.880 Los Angeles, would you go for a happy face. No, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.840 it's this other thing. Um. I kind of think I 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.360 can talk about it after. It's it's sort of like 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.640 a startup entrepreneurial type show where we talked to different 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.160 like hot shit ceo s and like, you know, people 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.120 that have like come from nothing and made themselves into 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.800 these like obscenely rich luminaries. Basically like me, just like 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.160 Hugh Chuck. We'll have you on the show before you 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.960 know it. Um. But yeah, So it was all surrounding 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.480 this conference that was going on there called the Summit 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.080 l a eighteen conference. I saw Jaden Smith interview Al 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.760 Gore about climate change. That was good. Yeah, it was surreal. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.800 It was a little bizarro world, but it was It 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.239 was cool. It was Jaden Sharp. Yeah, she did a 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.960 good job. He did do a good job, right. Al 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.560 Gore though, was funny. He's like, now, Jaden, I want 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.280 to tell I want to tell you. Jaden. He kept 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.080 he kept like putting his hand on him and saying 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.160 his name, which I thought was a little weirds like, dude, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.440 I'm fucking twenty. Yeah, I don't even know U. But 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.880 it was interesting, and it was in all these old 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.639 beautiful theaters down in downtown l A on Broadway. Um, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.519 so I got to go to the Orpheum. I went 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.919 to the the Palace. He pointed out to me on 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.519 the social that that was where the Thriller movie theater 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.600 scene is shot. Josh and I performed there, and I 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.320 learned that, yeah, and was like, man, this is pretty cool, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.320 and he sent some nice screenshots and little A B comparisons. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.880 I was stoked. And also I think I've I maybe 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.480 mentioned in that thread that Big Lebowski the scene where 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:19.040 the dude's landlord does his cycle remember cycle the Palace 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.560 as well, which is hysterical because by all accounts that 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.720 scene should have been in like a thirty theater and 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.000 they made it look like that. So I don't know 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.840 why they even Maybe they just had a deal on 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.480 the Palace that day or something. I mean, the Palace, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.280 it's had to come back lately during the Big Lebowski days. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.680 It was just like shuttered, really okay. So I went 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.200 to the Orpheum, the Palace, the Ace hotel, which was 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.480 really beautiful that show. That's right. Yeah, Casey was was 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.160 mentioning that that he stayed there as well as yeah, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.080 staying downtown l A. Is weird because it's very much 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.000 feels like New York. But then you look up and 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.120 you're like, hea, hey, there's palm trees in the background, 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.480 and you know, you're it's it's Los Angeles, but it's 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.760 a very downtown New YORKI field. Well, the whole thing 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.480 about this event was it was like, you know, this 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.880 was a very exclusive event that I just happened to 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.080 look into getting a free pass too. And I felt like, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.520 you know, the kid that from the slums, that that 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:12.280 got to go to Harvard, you know, because you're good 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.040 I was good will hunting. Yeah, and so it was 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.560 like but the thing was interesting was like, you know, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.839 the people that were at these events had paid a 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.320 pretty penny to be there, and there was this interesting 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.760 juxtaposition of this like obscene wealth and opulence and these 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.359 bizarro events. Like I went from seeing you know, Eckhart 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.120 totally who's like this uh kind of like meditation guru guy, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.000 to seeing Jaden Smith and um and al Gore uh 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.520 to hanging out in this weird pavilion with iced coffee 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.480 you know, on tap and stuff and the backdrop of 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.560 downtown l A. To this event was very stark and interesting. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.040 Because it's very you know, it's a very gritty kind 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.440 of yeah, I mean dashy downtown. Downtown has come a 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.960 long way in some areas, but like skid Row is 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.760 still down there. I mean, there's still they've tried to 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.839 revitalize downtown. But it's interesting in all those old the 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.880 ors I worked. Um, I was working on a music 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.240 video downtown. I can't remember who it was for. I 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.400 want to say, like Michelle Branch if that name even 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.039 rings a bell, I don't even know. No listeners, you 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.200 know what I'm talking about. Um, And I was to 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.240 run an errand over to get something from an Aerosmith 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.640 shoot down the street, and I went to one of 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.120 those old theaters and that was when there was nothing 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.400 really going on downtown, like they've done a lot in 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:33.080 the past fifteen seventeen years, but there was nothing going on. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.680 And I remember walking in this theater and seeing this 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.280 whole row of just these grand majestical theaters that were 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:45.159 now like uh Latino churches interestingly or just closed, and thinking, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.080 oh my god, the opulence is off the charts. But 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.360 it's like a haunted mansion, you know, Yeah, I know, 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.320 I know. I mean, it's some of these the architecture, 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.960 I believe it was the Palace in particular. Wait, yeah, 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.119 that's right, that's where I card. Holy was. It looks 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.200 like it's so Gothic, and it's like it's like something 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.760 out of like a Tim Burton Batman. Like it's really 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.680 really it's got this textured look that almost makes it 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.320 look like organic like dead plant matter mixed with like 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.640 bones or something like some sort of hostuary. I'm serious. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.680 It was gorgeous and really like nothing I've ever seen before. 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.919 So I was really glad I got to That was 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.640 my favorite part of the whole trip, which is seeing 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.039 those buildings inside and out and getting to kind of 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.680 hang out. Did you stay downtown too? No? No, I 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.520 stated I should have. I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt. 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.480 So I had I had a stayed there. I had 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.120 a very very broad l a experience. But I went 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.880 to a friend of the show, Kevin Pollock's house um 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.000 and helped him with some some podcast related stuff. To 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.240 Pollock's house, he got me in everything croissant, which is 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.239 apparently a thing now the bael but it's like the bagel, 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.640 but it's a croissant and it's filled with cream cheese. 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.320 Holy shit, it's very decorative. Um. But he's super sweet 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.159 guy Kevin Pollock really really cool and went from his 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.640 hood to Venice for the day and just took a 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.880 bird scooter and kind of just tootled around Venice. It 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.440 was a fun little solo trip. I did a lot 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.360 of soul searching, you know. Yeah, did you go by 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.760 one of those weed shops. I don't know what you're 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.200 talking about, Chuck, I don't know what you're talking about. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.560 Jaden Smith is twenty by the way, nail, but total 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:20.000 guess he strikes me as a bit of a twenty. Um. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.760 What's Pollock's house size? It's super cool, it's really nice. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.920 It's it's it's it's just really everything in its right place. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.640 He had this amazing like nudy uh stripped tease machine 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.480 from like the thirties where you can put in a 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.240 nickel and then you crank the crank uh and then 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.120 it's it's like a light and a little I piece. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.440 but it was like you could see that it was 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.480 like a kind of a old, like very um worn 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.280 flipbook that has a low mechanism. It just flips through 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.600 and it's just this is the gal doing a little 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.080 strip tease. It's great. So he had some he had 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.800 a jar nickels up there, and he had he had 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.559 a cool, cool collection of weird stuff. Yeah, that's awesome. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.320 I've never been to the Pollock House. He's invited me 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.640 over for he has his sort of famous poker and yeah, yeah, 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.760 I sat at the famous poker table. Yeah, and he's 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.640 all in every time in in l A. He's like, oh, 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.280 you come over for a pokram, Like, dude, I'll just 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.280 write you a check and go watch there you go. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.520 So like, here's three hundred dollars, I'm just gonna watch 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.400 you and three d is going to get you in 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.320 and probably not. I can't lose more than that. I 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.880 can't even lose that. Um. All right, Well it's good 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.560 to have you back, buddy. I saw you posted about 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.520 Jumbo's clown Room this morning. Did you go No. I 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.560 just passed it and thought it was like quite The 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:30.640 first thought that I had was, is this a weird 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:35.360 children's place? From like children's place? I could second tell 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.360 when I looked a little closer at the side, it's there, 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.560 Claremont Lounge. It is. Yeah, okay, God, and that was 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.680 in kind of Lost Filas area where I can't remember 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.000 where I passed. Yeah, I mean we used to go 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.400 to Jumbos. It's it's a it's a It's like the 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.880 Clearemounts in l a institution. So I thought, oh, man, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.199 Al's discovered the clown room. No, I mean I stayed 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.280 on Hollywood Boulevard and I ended up going I didn't 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.480 realize that Los Filas is like the other side of 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.640 Hollywood of our kind. You keep you keep going right there. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.680 I got a tie massage that was pretty cool, just 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:10.200 the regular kind of standard. Um. It was awesome though, man, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.280 it was Yeah. So I ended up in Thai Town, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.880 which is like right on the edge of Los Filas, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.480 I believe, and then kind of right where I live 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.200 the Dresden, which I'm always going on about how much 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.839 I love the Dresden. But it was during the day, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.920 so I couldn't go and see. Uh was Marty in Elane? Yeah, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.480 they wouldn't be there during the day. But it's funny, 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.640 um don't I'm sure you haven't listened. But the Shawn 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.839 Gunn episode, we had sort of the same favorite die 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.839 bar back in the day, which was what the drawing 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:37.040 room in Los VELAs, which um is a six am bar. Wow, okay, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.559 and we sort of both um delighted in the six 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.600 am bar and just that whole notion and uh that 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.760 that it's kind of great. Meaning you can just walk 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.360 out and then the sun's up and you're like, no, no, 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:53.600 it opens at six Oh yes, I'm confused. Yeah it 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.360 opens at six am. So oh it just it just 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:01.000 stays open, stays open until uh what over two? I 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.640 got you? I think in l A is is it too? 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.480 I think so yeah, and then you can come right 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.800 back four hours later. I really like the frolic Room. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.719 I always go to the Frolic Room. Yeah, that's a 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.360 good old dive. It's just a good old dive. It's 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.640 right next to the Pantageous Theater that's right there in 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.520 the middle of Hollida. I like the old school stuff. 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.040 I like that, like confidential. It really oh kind that 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.680 makes sense. I had a steak dinner at Musso and 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:29.080 Frank's by myself. Yeah, no, it was good. The other 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.600 thing that I think that everyone should know about Mousso 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.800 and Franks know is that everything is all a cart. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.480 So you get the steak that's a charge. You get 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.880 some mashed potatoes, that's like ten. Every steak you get 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.800 like a gravy boat with some sauce in it, that's 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.600 five bucks every steak out back. Well, that's where I go, dude, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.320 that's my that's my that's my my bar steak. No, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.040 you gotta take you out for good. So I had 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.080 a good steak. It was great. It was really good. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.880 Musso and Frank just top notch. He's already worked up 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.440 everyone way till we get to knowles holes. It's gonna 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.960 get it's gonna get ugly. Well, it's gonna have you back, 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.400 buddy back. If you listen to the first five minutes, 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.960 even in that solo podcast, you will hear me just 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.600 gushing over you. So oh man, let need a little 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.880 confidence booster. When when I do need one, I'll keep 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.520 that in my back pocket. Yeah, keep it in your 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.720 back pocket. Um right where you fart. M hmm, that's 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.080 what I say. Yeah, all right, So let me see 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.880 what can we do today. I put up some things 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.679 last night because last night was election night, and I 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.959 don't know what you did, but I flipped it over 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.760 to CNN with John King, and I literally felt like 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.640 I had PTSD, just seeing him in front of that 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.720 screen with his little magic fingers, and I'm like, I can't, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.319 I can't, I can't. I can't do it again. Well, 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.199 in Georgia, I got the sense that the polls were 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.560 staying open really late because of Fucory with vote counting, 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.720 which let's get into that. Um oh wait, the secretary 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.559 of state ran for governor. Yeah, that's not no problem 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.040 at all. Okay, anyway, letsten this is in the political show. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.600 But no, I I made the very conscious choice to 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.760 pay no attention to it because I knew it wasn't 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.839 gonna come in till late, and it's just not worth 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.000 staying up and biting your nails. So I went to 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.800 bed and had a nice sleep, good and my friends 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.600 that were out checking out the counts and stuff texted 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.960 me middle of the night with you know, some good 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.400 news ish but modest games. That's what I'm saying, though, dude, 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.200 I woke up to two very mad feelings about because 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.040 I had the middle of the night text from somebody 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.200 was probably quite drunk, feeling optimistic and set me in 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.280 all caps like Dems take the house, And in my 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.440 mind I read that as Dems win everything right, that 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.160 was not the case. Yeah, I think for for liberal 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.560 hippies right now, just turn it off right now, and 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.400 or hey, listen, if you don't agree with what we're 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.600 about to say, just give it a pause or hit 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.800 the little fast forward button like seconds. Yeah, because we 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.560 don't want to piss anyone off. This will be a 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.680 short soapbox. But for liberal hippies like us, I think, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.560 you know, my modest gains are gains like we want 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.800 everyone to win. We want Stacy Abrams to win and 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.240 uh A Rour to win and the Gilliam in Florida 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.640 to win and to take the house and all the things. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.840 And you're just not gonna get all those. So we 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:16.199 took the house. That's great, Abrams. If I honestly believe 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.040 if it hadn't been for voter disenfranchisement, she would have 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.040 won well as all. There's also they're talking about like 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:26.520 they're being potentially a run off whenever that's that's the last. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.400 Just I mean, she's so close, and that's a lot 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:34.600 about Georgia that a black woman is within spitting distance 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.280 of the governor seat. So I don't like moral victories, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.079 but um it, you gotta take what you can get 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:52.360 these days, you know, how about you quiz me about 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.480 some sorry movies I haven't seen or something well that 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.520 that's coming up. That's all right everyone, if you're and 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.920 we're back, and then we're back. All right, here we go. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.240 So here's what I did last night, and all I 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:10.440 worked on mini crush and sort of prepping everybody with 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:15.200 some good questions and polls, and watched TV that was 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.560 not the election, and then just sort of checked in 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.120 every now and then to see how things were going. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.760 So here was my first question though, for social studies, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:29.160 social movie crush. How about an election night distraction everyone 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.720 with some mini crushed stuff. Name your favorite political movie? 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.240 See what I did? I was cute. That was just 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.080 jerking everyone's chain. But political movies are some of my 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:46.160 favorite movies. Uh, like The Maltese Falcon and you know, 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.560 I talked about All the President's Men a lot, and 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.160 movies like Michael Clayton Love a good heavy political thriller 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:56.160 or political film, bulwarth movies like that, even Wag the Dog. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.960 I'm into it. So we're gonna go over some of these. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.760 I mean, remember really in joining Wag the Dog. Yeah, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.480 I haven't seen it. A long time. It was fine. Uh. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.160 Matthew Hanson says A contender agreed, dude, that was a 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.480 great movie right off the bat. Tony Bucko says, All 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.120 the President's Men. Kerry mcquit says, Dave, I never saw that, 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.120 did you? With Kevin Klein. That's the one where he's 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:22.120 the president, right, I think so, President Dave, I haven't seen. Uh, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.240 let me see here. All the President's Men again from 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.520 Sally Mackenzie. Megan Nichole says, The American President, which I 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.040 did not see, but that is the love story. I 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.080 feel like I've asked this question before. I think I 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:36.360 might have said political thriller. So this is not necessarily that, 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.960 because certainly The American President is a romantic comedy wrapped 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.720 up in politics. Twelve angry men from Gracie Anne. Does 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:51.320 that count? Gracey says sure, I think so for sure. Boy. 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.280 A lot of people are saying American President Vanessa Lopez 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.440 our old friend. She's who sent that box of food. 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.040 By the way, no box of food. Yeah, there's a 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.320 box of food on your desk, which chips and popcorn, 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.560 and but I haven't been to my desk. I came 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.320 straight here. Chuck straight here. Vanessa Lopez say thank you, Thanks, 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:11.080 Vanessa Lopez. Karl Gaffney says thank you for smoking uh. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:15.840 Richard Stokes suspect to the Future, Hm, just because the 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.840 Goldie Wilson thing. That's a bit of a stretch, my friend. Well, 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.160 back to the Future to predicted the rise of Trump. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.920 Let's not forget did it really? Man? Biff is like 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.080 a Trump character. Okay, that's just kidding. He doesn't really 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.680 become president, but he does. He does using this is 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.760 a spoiler for a movie that came out decades ago, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.840 just putting it out there. Using the knowledge he gleaned 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:42.080 from that sports uh almanac, right, he elevated himself to 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.560 a position of of extreme power and practically dictatorship over 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.280 the weird Back to the Future to Future world. So 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.360 he was kind of a trumpy figure in my opinion. Dude, 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.800 I have not seen Back to the Future two and 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.120 three did not impact me much, so I don't know 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.040 if I've seen those movies since it came out. Two 0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.400 is a lot of fun. Three there they're well, they're 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.280 all fine. Three. I remember seeing three in the theaters 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.240 because that had to have been like early nineties, maybe 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.480 late enough eighties that I was, you know, cognizant of 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:11.680 of movies and the Yeah, and I also remember that 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.720 Pizza Hut had that had like sunglasses you could get 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.520 that we're back to the future theme that were like 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:22.800 crazy you know, retro futuristic sunglasses or whatever. Yeah, right 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.560 on the cusp and Little Mermaid. I want to say 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.200 it was eighty nine. That's one of the first movies 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.120 I remember seeing in the theater. And also Home Alone. Yeah, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.760 I was graduating high school. It was it was a 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:40.479 wild time for both of us. Uh. Lincoln, Megan Carol, 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.840 oh boy, you know what she said. The drama's tense 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.720 despite me knowing how it ended, and Daniel do Lewis 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.960 and Sally Field not get out of the park. The 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.960 acting was great, for sure, Megan. But I think I've 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.000 said so on the show. I thought Lincoln was a 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.240 bit of a snooze. I feel a little bad for 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.920 saying that, but it was a bit of a snooze. Yeah, 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:59.920 I mean, people seem to really dig it. I guess 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:04.879 you know, Daniel day Lewis really embodies Lincoln, but I didn't. 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.720 I never felt compelled to watch it. You did not. 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.560 I did not know I'm sure it's fine, but those 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:15.680 really hyper accurate or whatever trying to be political or whatever, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.280 historical reenactment type movies, they typically don't grab me unless 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.920 there's some like fresh take on it or some weird 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.640 new angle. Yeah, I don't know. It's just Lincoln versus vampires, 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:27.199 that would be fun. I would go to that. They 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.320 did that, right, Abraham Lincoln vampire did? They kind of 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.680 came and went though, didn't it? Think? Uh? Kirsten Well 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.200 says The Iron Lady, even though I'm Canadian. Well, you're Canadian, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:44.120 but there there probably some England in you if you're Canadian, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.920 right or France? One would hope. I don't even know 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.640 what I'm talking about. I don't either. Hutch Allen says 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.719 The IDEs of the IDEs of March with Cluny and Gosling. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.520 I still haven't seen that, man. I need to see that. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.600 Oh that, But it's not about Caesar. It's just called 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.680 that they're like political operatives. Yeah. Yeah, um, ed buy 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:08.679 no says Herod's Law. A janitor becomes mayor in a 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.679 tiny town, desert town in Mexico quickly learns the ups 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.040 and downs of politics. If you don't mind Spanish dialogue 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.480 with English subtitles. This is a real treat. Wow. I 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.119 love that, Ed. I appreciate that. I like getting a 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:26.400 good foreign film. Wreck the Gooch David Gooch says election. Yeah, 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.800 it's high school politics, that's true. Yeah, but it's meant 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.959 to be like a like a satire, like a microcosmic 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.160 view of you know, politics at large. Yeah, that's true. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:37.919 I guess I'll count it using like kind of like 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:42.280 the lens of a high school election. Good point. Um 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:48.720 Mark Villipondo says the campaign. Uh, Will Ferrell punching babies? 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.280 That was That's one of my guilty pleasures. That's a 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.200 funny movie. I'll take Will Ferrell any day. People. Alison 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:02.439 Gallagher are old friend, Allison says Argo or Ken, Yeah, 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.280 my buddy wrote that article that Argo was based on. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.160 That's my claim to fame. Bob Roberts, many, Chuck, one 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:14.560 of many Bob Roberts comes from Trent More. Bob Roberts 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.240 is good, And he said, is is Bob Roberts as 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.359 good as I remember it being? Yes, Trent, it was 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:25.800 very good political satire. Bob Roberts. Yeah. Tim Robbins, Oh 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.160 I don't know this. Yeah, it's good. It's a political satire. Cool, 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.400 that's ultra. Yeah, you should. You should check it Out's good. 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.359 Jack Blacks in it too, I think. Um let me 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:39.840 see here, Let's go through a couple of more. Uh 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:47.160 the East Scott Rofs Fold. Excellent performance by Britt Marlings. Yeah. 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.320 Remember Britt Marling, she did that show he didn't like 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.360 with the dancing. The I liked that show. You liked it, Okay, 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.920 you said you didn't like the dancing, the the er, 0:20:55.240 --> 0:21:02.440 the er, the Oh I'd like to see a mashup 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:06.400 of that one. Now. I did like that. I just yeah, 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:08.280 I didn't like the interpreted d speaking of what I 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:09.920 don't want to derail as too much. But right across 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.159 from the hotel was staying out in Hollywood. There's this 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:14.760 story called La La Land that's like just you know, 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.720 trashy kitch, you know, souvenirs and stuff. But on a 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:21.560 loop they have that that Phantom Planet song with the 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.880 theme for the o C playing like California. Every time 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:31.200 I walk out of my hotel is here California. It's like, dude, cliche, 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:34.040 can you be killed me? It was pretty funny, But 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.000 it's funny because a lot of people probably go home 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.879
