WEBVTT - Mini Crush #162 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.160 Hey Everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush, the Monday Mini 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:35.479 Edition with Noel Brown and Charles W. Chuck Bryant, your 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:39.560 co host for the week it is we for all Time. Yeah, 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.640 for the week, the week for all time. How are 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.479 you doing, Noel, I'm pretty good, man. Um. We were 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.919 talking off air a little bit about how I upgraded 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.760 my my recording studio and I've I've actually got a 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.960 drum kid in here. And you know, I've been recording 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.480 my own bands for for many years, and uh, I 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.400 always ended up to make the final record going to 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.120 a studio because I could just never get things like 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.679 the drum sound to really slap the way you know, 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.280 records that I listened to did, And so I would 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.039 go to like the studio and Athenes called Chase Park Transductions, 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.720 where I worked with this guy David Barbie, who I 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.119 think you know the band Sugar and he produces all 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.360 the by Trucker's record So I learned so much from 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.160 him just working in that studio. But I just got 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.720 thanks to dear friend Stephen Banister at a place called 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.600 Westlake Pro Audio in l A I got the most 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.399 amazing deal on a Universal Audio Apollo, which is like 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.959 the industry standard audio interface. It's got eight mic inputs. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.240 I've got my drums miked up, and I swear chuck, 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.360 I have achieved that slapping drum sound that I have 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.520 only thus far dreamed of or it felt like I 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.920 had to go into a studio and pay lots of 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.600 money to achieve. So I love feeling pretty stoked. That's great. 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.720 Noll you a good drummer. I'm not bad, Yeah, I'm 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.160 I'm I'm competent. I can play with a click very well. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.320 I'm not like acrobatic, but I like and do a 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.000 good backbeat and um and then I also like, you know, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.920 I like to make loops of myself and go in 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.480 and kind of a jet time adjust things or make 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.240 little you know, uh stutters and things in my edits. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.200 But yeah, I enjoy playing drums very much to have 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.240 for I've had a drum kits since I was like, oh, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.359 I guess, probably like twelve or thirteen years old. Yeah, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.480 a little bit. Yeah, it's fun, it is. I'm not 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.720 very card but I'm I'm I'm better than someone who's 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.480 never picked up drumsticks. But um, I'm not very good, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.680 but I can do a basic little beat and you know, 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.560 I can hold the fort down for a minute. How 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.720 you like in that new uh, that new gifts and 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.120 guitar you got, Well, I took it in to get 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.040 a pickup installed, so I haven't had it. I wanted 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:42.840 to go ahead and just get it fully squared away, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:46.520 so getting a pickup installed and a strap button on 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.560 the neck, on the base of the neck instead of 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.400 you know, the tradition is to tie it over at 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.280 the headstock on one end with an act of guitar. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.320 But I'm not a fan of that, so no, it 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.200 feels weird. It like feels like it gets in the 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.480 way of your hand even right like kind of just 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.919 I don't like it, so I am. It is definitely 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.360 altering the guitar, which some people say is heresy, but 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.120 I don't think it's a big deal to my guitar. Sure, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.440 try could do whatever you want, chuck. Uh, It's funny, man. 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.080 There was a um, I was at the lake last 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.000 weekend and I Emily went to bed super early because 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.720 she had a rough day, and I was I found 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.760 myself at like eight thirty at night, hanging out alone, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:33.440 beautiful woodland setting, feeling good, if you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:39.640 I had a couple of drinks. Some great things were happening. Yes, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.840 I know, these late these lake things, and I I 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.960 told I got on Facebook and got you know, Ethan, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.520 you even one of our listeners who's been badgering me 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.120 about Fish forever. I said, all right, yeah, and this 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.600 is it. I'm ready to give Fish a fair audition. 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.400 Where do I start? He kind of commented, too late, 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.720 A bunch of people said, here's what you should do. Um, 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.000 I only wanted to hear from Ethan about this, So 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.560 I never listened to Fish, But I did listen to 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.200 The Dead Knel because I just, you know, I like 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:09.920 a couple of the you know, the two big albums 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.840 that were are known as like good studio albums. Sure, 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.200 like The Empire of the Sun is one that people 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.600 always talk about as being a big psychedelic opus. Well, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:22.040 I know, as far as just accessibility American made and 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.839 or no American beauty, and uh, what's the other one. 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.200 I don't know. There's another one that's uh it's sort 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.240 of you know a little more mainstream or whatever, not 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.040 quite as like Jammie, but there's one with a very 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.279 clever title. It has to be a live album. What 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.760 it's called Live Dead, which I think is very clever. Yeah, 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.560 so I listened to some of that and then I 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:44.680 was like, you know, I need to just dive in 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.440 to what the Dead is really all about. So I 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.160 listened to a thirty minute version of dark Star, which 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.520 is their big you know, live jam you believe is 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.760 off Empire of the Sun, one of the many. But 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.720 it was like, if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.000 really dive in there, and I'll tell you what, dude, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.480 in my head space, I really enjoyed it for a while. 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.440 It's very groovy and I got it, but I had 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.480 to turn it off after like halfway, like fifteen minutes in. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:16.599 I stopped it. You know why, Well, here's what I 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.719 figured out, and see if you agree. I don't know. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.520 I'm a rock and roll guy. I am used. I 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.719 don't mind jamming, but it's something has to build to 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:30.000 a musical resolution, and I felt like it never built 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.880 to a musical resolution. It would build and build, and 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.200 then I'm used to the resolution happening, and then it 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.279 would just start over with something kind of new and 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.440 it just kept doing that over and over and I 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.200 was like, I need that resolution. I think that's why. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.360 Of the bands that maybe get lumped in with this 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.520 jam band category, Pink Floyd, to me is the one 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.360 that really does it because they have these big long 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.560 interludes or big long intros and these stretches, but it 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.960 always builds to some like new idea and then like 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.359 or or it goes back it yourself. Yeah, we're just 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.680 all the silver like yeah, exactly, like like shine on you, 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.039 Crazy Diamond. Every time. I know that Dark Star does 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.440 do that. It has a main theme that it kind 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.080 of repeats, but it takes a real long time for 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.880 him to get there. And I know that they, you know, 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.360 have very very long, extended versions of that. I've I've 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.800 never gotten to them myself, but I keep wanting to 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.800 try Empire of the Sun and I keep saying that, 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.440 but that's the one. Like bands like Animal Collective and 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.800 you know, bands that I really respect reference that that 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.680 record a lot. So yeah, I mean, listen, man, I 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.000 I love the Almond Brothers band a lot, and they 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.200 are jammy as fun, but they I feel like, bring 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.800 it around to a place there's more structure. It makes 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.159 sense to me, And you know, it's a shame I 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.039 tried it it. Uh. I did like what I was hearing, though, 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.840 Like it's not like I was like, oh, I don't 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.480 like the sound of these notes. Like it was super 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.600 fucking groovy and like kind of jasy and very mellow 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.880 and cool, and I was digging it for a while 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.279 and then it just I was like, man, I need 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.920 I need the music to resolve itself. I'm used to 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.680 things building to a place, Chuck, I, I feel like 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.240 I've mentioned them on the show before, But have you 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.360 listened much to the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.760 Uh No, I know, I know I need to. I 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.120 hate the name so much it is really hard for 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.400 me to get over it. I know that's a dumb 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.040 reason to not listen. It's not a dumb reason. It's 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.840 the reason I didn't listen to forever. And I maybe 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.640 have told the story already. But like a friend of 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.480 mine who was in town had extra ticket and like, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.160 I like to heard of this band. I was like, yeah, 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.280 I've heard of him, but it sounds ridiculous. I don't 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.280 want to go anywhere near him. And it's the kind 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.200 of band that's so good you give him a pass 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.560 on the dumb name and all. Also the dumb name 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.080 even starts to be feel a little charming because they're 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.280 all really, they're all yeah, because they're just they're these 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.400 like Australian kind of like they're very young. They're like 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.679 in there, like you know, mid twenties. And they literally 0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:00.000 made like seven records in seventeen and they make them 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.280 all themselves. They were why is that what? The fact 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.960 that they're prolific and talented and young. Seven records in 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.440 a year seems a little much to me. But they're good. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.040 They're good, and they're each very different, and they produce 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.960 them themselves and record them themselves, and they like own 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.080 all their own means of production and like they have 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.840 their own little label and you know, and they've year 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.240 over year gotten more and more popular. But I mean, 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.040 I'll try it. I'll send you a couple of res Okay. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.080 I think they're a band that you have. They have 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.000 so much stuff out there, you gotta know where to start. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.000 If you start the wrong place, it might be a 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.280 turn off. You have this one record that's genuinely like 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:44.280 an eighties Metallica thrash album and it's like just spot 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.960 on but still very much them. So I don't know, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.040 big fan, Now, is this the kind of thing though? 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.080 Where in? I mean, are they gonna keep doing this 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.280 in eight years? Are you gonna be like, Yeah, the 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.760 King Gizzard has you know, sixty seven albums. It's awesome. Now. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.000 To be fair, they only may six albums that one year. Okay, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.040 that's what I was. It's not like this is a 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.160 thing they do. They do make a lot of records. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.240 But I think this year they've made three. No, last year, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.960 excuse me, last year they made Last year they made three. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:18.840 This year already they've come out with two. This is 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.080 a very skeptical moll. I gotta give it a try. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.640 I think you should go. I'm gonna I'm gonna make 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.920 you a playlist, Chuck, let make you mixtape. I'm also 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.080 skeptical with bands that are like, here's our metal album 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.400 and here's a bluegrass album. Like, is it like that? Chuck? 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:36.280 This is me? I know, I know, I know, I 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.800 know you're no Ethan. I don't. I don't fawn I don't, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.040 I don't, I really don't. But these guys are fawn 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.680 worthy and in my opinion, all right, I trust you know. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.600 I'm a skeptical grump today. It's also less about their 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.120 albums than it is about their live show. I don't 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.560 really listen to their albums a lot, but live they're 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.960 one of the most spectacularly just like dynamic, and they 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.040 just like it's like your why watching magicians or something like. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.920 They just have the like it's like they're sparks coming 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.480 off of them, like you're seeing people in their purest 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.800 form doing the thing that they were meant to do. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.160 And and it's something very special about seeing them live. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.600 All right. Uh and by the way, looping back to 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.480 the dead and the Fish, who haven't heard a little 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.520 bit of By the way, I think I've said this 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.760 before though. My other issue with these bands is I 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.439 am very much into singing and vocalists, and none of 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.199 those groups have good singers that they all are adequate 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.960 and you know, and can do okay, but widespread panic. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.360 I mean, if we're being honest, none of them have 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.280 like consider like great vocalists. And Fish for me is 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.120 it's always been too jokey. I just don't like it. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.040 They're they're it's like they're too silly. Hung in cheek 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.560 or or like, you know, not clever, not in a 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.360 wien way at all. Uh, even though they are largely 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.640 and I know you know that's largely responsible for why 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.000 Ween became so big in the hippie set. And then 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.920 the jam band said, I always thought Ween was so 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.319 weird and edgy and strange, and then all of a sudden, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.640 when I went and saw them live, I'm like, what 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.360 are all these wooks doing here? I don't understand. What's 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.719 what's going on? Well, the wook is as they call 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.720 hippie type crunchy folks, wookies or wooks. Okay, I didn't 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.120 know that. I wouldn't have known that term at the time. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.640 Is it because they smell like wookies? I don't know 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.480 why they call him that, Chuck, I don't question it. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.400 It just seems to apply. It just seems to make. 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.880 And again with Almond Brothers, they had a great vocalist, 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.920 Greg Allman, one of the great blues singers in rock history. 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.280 Big time, so big time. That's where I stand. I'm 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.600 with you to where we're not. We're not that far 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:49.120 out of each other's garages. I am going to give 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.360 the fish to try, though because Ethan finally did comment 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.640 the fish gonna try I'm gonna try the fish, and uh, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.400 I'll take the I'll take the fish. I'll have the fish, please. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.000 So I'm gonna get with one of his recommendations. But 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.920 I'm always a little leary when people are like, oh man, 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.720 it's studiobums aren't so good, but you gotta see him live. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.040 I'm like, if you're a good band, you should be 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.320 able to make a good album. No, No, I agree 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.400 the people's people say, Billy. I saw a friend of 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.840 mine who's a metal guy or like kind of more 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.719 of like he does all kinds of stuff. He's got 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.560 this project called dream Tent that um is very like 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.280 Tears for Fears, kind of like gothy new wave. It's 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.920 really good. I think you dig it. But he used 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.000 to be in like more hardcore, punky type bands and 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.960 he was literally the quintessential athens hipster sound guy who 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.679 like you know, looks at you pissy when you asked 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.400 for more guitar in the mom I'm kidd he's he's 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.120 the best. But you know what I'm saying, That guy 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.920 um And he recently posted about how he listened to 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.840 the album Billy Breathes by fish and and un ironically 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.240 really liked it. And this is a dude that is 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:53.000 the grumpiest of curmudgeon ley type music snobs. Uh. So 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.520 I was very surprised to see that, and it it made 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.120 me kind of want to check it out. I'm like, wow, 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.679 what is what does jeans seeing this? That was one 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.960 of the records that a lot of people recommended as 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.920 a good entry point. By the way, Billy breaths h 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.720 and No, before we get going on the actual movie content, 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:10.960 I do want to commend you. I was really listening 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.440 to an episode from a couple of weeks ago with 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.320 you and me, and you made a really funny joke 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.040 that went right over my head. But I must commend 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:22.360 you on it's when you were talking about uh, your 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:28.600 um ex wife's young daughter. Yeah, talks about spooky uh 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.360 instead of spooky. And then you were saying, and I 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.040 just didn't get it at the time. You were talking 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:39.920 about Atticus Ross I think in and Trent Resiner and 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.160 their scores. Instead of saying spooky scores, he said spooky 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:50.560 spores were great, And I just went by me and 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.880 then I heard it in the car and was just 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:57.439 like legit, laughing out loud. Spooky sports. Spooky Sports is 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.760 fun to say, isn't it. And I feel like that 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.840 should be a band name. It should be like, you know, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.200 Spenny's Spinkleton and the spoopy Sports. You know. Now see, 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:14.120 you're going king Gizzard just less is more less, all right? 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.680 So we're gonna move on to the crushers page because 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:23.200 old pal Joshua Fish not fish with a p pH, 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.960 God forbid, He's He's the real deal. He's a real fish. Uh. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.560 He says, this an a little twist on an unpopular opinion. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.440 What movie do you really want to like but don't? 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.120 And he said mine was what about Bob? I love 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.240 Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss. My family thinks it's hilarious, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.280 but it just doesn't land for me. I think we 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.000 all have those movies that, by all accounts, we should 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.720 love that we don't. Yep. I I've made mine very clear, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.800 and it's just the one that comes to mind immediately, 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.160 and uh it's uh la la land I was. I 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.960 had all the right things for me going in. I 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.680 love musicals, I love Los Angeles, I love that cast, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.680 I love the idea of it. I love some of 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.320 the songs, but as a whole it did not hold 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.440 together for me and had some good sequences. But I'd 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.440 love to give another chance. But I remember being really 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.840 kind of uh just I was. I was surprised at 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.520 how little it connected with me, and I really wanted 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.000 it to and I really disappointed, right, very disappointed, because 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.920 I was like, this looks so cool, a magical l 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.640 a musical romp, you know, with like flying around and 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.440 dancing and Buzby Berkeley kind of choreography. Everything about it 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.000 like hit from me. But I just I just didn't 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.120 do it for him, do it all right? No, we're 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.920 gonna start out with old pal Caroline Guest and says, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.840 I wanted to like Pixar's Soul. I still haven't seen that, 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.480 by the way, a lot more than I did. I 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.840 was expecting to have some sort of earth shaking existential 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.920 crisis at the end. Well, people overhyped those movies, and 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.040 people talked about that one as though that was going 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.760 to happen. That one hit for me because it is 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.600 about like it's about following your dreams and maybe letting 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.880 them go. Wow, It's it's kind of it's a big deal. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.160 It's very human, real stuff, especially with like what's going 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.640 on in the world right now. And it's also about, like, 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.120 you know, a musician, like do I choose music as 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.280 a passion career, like you know, I'm gonna be a 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.920 professional musician, or do I choose the job that pays 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.880 the bills? And maybe it isn't the thing that I 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.400 thought I was destined for, but maybe really is the 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.400 thing that I was destined for. And then and then 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.160 they're like, uh, and I'm not even that good of 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.000 a singer. And someone said, we'll just be in a 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.200 jam band exactly, Chuck, what's a movie like this for you? 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.520 I'm trying to think, man, uh, nothing's coming to mind. 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.280 I'll see if one of these something, yeah, because I 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.800 really can't think of anything. Um. Shannon Panell Carter though, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:49.600 says Lord of the Rings, any of them duck and cover, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.120 like she's afraid that people are going to come after 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:57.880 and you know it's not loving them. There you go, Yeah, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.760 it's it's a thing. I was actually on The Daily's 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.840 I iced yesterday as a guest and it was great. Um. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:05.800 They do a thing though, where you have to talk 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.359 bring in something you think is overrated and something you 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.720 think is underrated. And I had a hard time coming 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.399 up with something overrated because I didn't want to like, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.840 you know what, is it yuck? Anyone's yum? Well, that's sure, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.640 but I didn't think of it until now. But my friend, uh, 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.480 who's a real professional curmudgeon, recommended James Cameron, and I realized, 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.080 I absolutely feel like James Cameron is overrated. So we 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.080 had a discussion around that. I agree. David Hook to 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.760 b r Old pels Is The Matrix. Tried it three 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.920 times and it still bores me, all right, not for everyone. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.600 Rochelle Bracy says The Big Lebowski. I don't know at 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.359 the time. It just wasn't able to hold my interest 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.399 at the time. That's a movie that changes with age. 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.800 Let me tell you, like, I think you can come 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.720 back to that movie a little later in life, maybe 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.359 you've lived a little more and seen some ship and 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.720 then and then you go back and that one. Because 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.280 I'm telling you I didn't get it when I first 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.479 saw it. I was too young. I did not get it. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.040 I'm not presuming to know the age of this person 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.800 or their experience, but I swear that movie really aged 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.639 well for me personally, and now it's like, you know, 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.800 it's cannon for me, all right, Brent A Price, one 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.840 of her old prince says, Big Trouble in Little China. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.200 My friends won't let me off the hook for this one. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:20.920 I know you love that one, Chuck, and I still 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:22.600 have yet to see it. I mean, I love it, 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.280 but it's certainly a movie that I get not being 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.639 everyone's cup of tea, you know. But you know, if 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.920 Brent is playing by the rules here, then uh he 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.960 he should like it, you know. Kurt Russell, sorry about that, 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:41.359 and uh. In The Gang Kitchi eighties m hm, David 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.159 Wilder says, it's not that I don't like it, but 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:44.920 can't figure out why. Every time I's wry, I went 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:50.439 Spiderman into the Spider Verse, I fall asleep. That's an 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:53.400 interesting movie to fall asleep too. Yeah, it's really kinetic, 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.320 like kind of like you know, what's the word, like 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.639 sensory overload totally you know, yeah, interesting? All right. That's 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.440 another one that got a lot of big hip though, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.240 but I personally felt like it lived up to it, 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.679 if not exceeded it a little bit. I thought it 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.359 was wonderful. This is a good one here. James Taggert says, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.960 The Godfather didn't see it until later in life. It 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.160 was already accustomed to more modern mafia movies like Casino 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.360 and Goodfellows. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've barely made 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:20.080 it through the whole movie. I'm sorry, Internet. Yeah, I 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.640 mean the Godfathers did of the slower burn. Not. Actually 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.359 I rewatched it very very recently, and I just thought 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.480 it it utterly held up. It's it feels real. It 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.879 feels like you're watching real life, and real life is 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.040 long takes. That's what real life is, you know. Oh 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.359 interesting hot take here, Absalom Bittner, I don't believe we 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:46.600 met you, Absalom. Welcome, good morning, he says dni Villa 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.200 new movies in general, but Arrival specifically, the twist was 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.040 really obvious and ham fisted. Me. All movies are manipulative, 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.399 but I could feel the manipulation in a way that 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.320 maybe not enjoy it. Interesting. Yeah, I mean you, I 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.080 get it totally with that one, for sure. I do 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.000 think that saying his movies in general, they're so varied. 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.040 I don't think he even has like one thing that 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.399 he does, so it's interesting to throw them all in 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:14.160 like a bucket. Like that. Joel Krantz says everything by 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:21.000 mel brooks. Okay, there's an interesting thread here about Greta 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.119 Gerwigs Little Women here and in another post. This is 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.560 from Sarah Irons and I think Sarah actually instigated a 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:30.240 post or not instigated, but posted a post on the 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.760 Crusher Spades about Little Women and how much she wanted 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.240 to love it, and uh, quite a few people agreed. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:40.240 I mean, have you seen the new one? I really 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.800 really want to um it seems right up my alley, 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.200 but I have not yet. I enjoyed it, but it 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.760 does a time jump thing that is a little jarring, 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:50.760
