Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday with Noel
Speaker 1: Brown and Charles W. Chuck Bryant in the hot seat.
Speaker 1: What's your hot take? Hello, Chuck, I'm I'm lukewarm this morning.
Speaker 1: I don't really have any hot days. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: hold on the Royal family is weird for getting purely
Speaker 1: symbolic and they don't actually do anything to affect policy
Speaker 1: or governance of the United Kingdom. Are you saying that
Speaker 1: it is an antiquated system and they should just get
Speaker 1: rid of the Royals? Already a little bit people like
Speaker 1: them though, Man, Brits are weird, like the old money Brits,
Speaker 1: like the legacy business e, you know, imperial kind of
Speaker 1: Brits are very strange. I'm obviously a lot of amazing
Speaker 1: progressive human beings in the UK, but as a country
Speaker 1: and as a system, there's some weirdness there. We we we
Speaker 1: go over it and stuff they don't want you to
Speaker 1: know all the time. And just discussed all the stuff
Speaker 1: that's been happening with Megan Markle and the kind of
Speaker 1: low key shaded racism, sure me and lobbed at her
Speaker 1: and like you know, they're non attention to mental health
Speaker 1: that extends as far back as you know generations. But
Speaker 1: also like with Diana, she needed mental health assistance and
Speaker 1: they basically swept that out of the carpet and look
Speaker 1: what happened there. Sorry, I don't know why I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the royals at the top. This is just my
Speaker 1: hot take. You asked me for a hot take, Chuck,
Speaker 1: It's gonna get hot. I love it, man, I watched
Speaker 1: that interview. We're into it, we love the Crown. We're
Speaker 1: we're some of those Americans that are not royals obsessed,
Speaker 1: but we're into those stories. Man. And I thought that
Speaker 1: racism thing was not surprising. And of course they're like,
Speaker 1: we're not racist, um, Whereas I think what they should
Speaker 1: be saying is we're not overtly racist. It's it's like,
Speaker 1: but about that bloodline, just that's not racist? If we
Speaker 1: want it really white, is it pure? Is the driven snow?
Speaker 1: There's there was a story in the Crown. You you've
Speaker 1: seen the Crown all the way through, yes, all the
Speaker 1: way through. So there's a story that comes up about
Speaker 1: I believe it was Elizabeth's like like developmentally disabled sisters
Speaker 1: or cousins or something, and they essentially said they were
Speaker 1: dead and just like put the exile in this like
Speaker 1: creepy you know. What they would call in those days
Speaker 1: a sanatorium. Now we call a mental health facility or whatever,
Speaker 1: but they called it that because they were horrible places
Speaker 1: and they were not clean, that the methods of treatment
Speaker 1: were very barbaric. And apparently these royal you know cousins
Speaker 1: were just kind of trundled off there and claimed to
Speaker 1: have been dead and then it turns out they were
Speaker 1: not all dead. Uh, And that's sort of a benchmark
Speaker 1: for the way the Royal family treats mental health issues. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the Kennedy's did the same thing. They had.
Speaker 1: There was a Kennedy sister that went away as well,
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what I mean, I do.
Speaker 1: And weren't the Great Gardens Sisters related to the Kennedy's
Speaker 1: distantly in some way? The Gray Gardens sisters little little
Speaker 1: Little and little Phoebe well whatever her name was, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were great documentary Um, they were, Yes, they were
Speaker 1: relatives of I think it was Eady Bouvier Beal. I
Speaker 1: think they were Jackie's original family because Jackie was a
Speaker 1: Bouvier previous to being a Kennedy and in Onassis. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a headline. I found Fox News grain
Speaker 1: of salt this but Jackie Kennedy Onassis was horrified of
Speaker 1: reclusive aunt cousin living and crumbling. Gray Gardens book claims,
Speaker 1: by the way, no, you got trounced for your good fellas.
Speaker 1: You know. Look, And the sad thing is, I could
Speaker 1: have claimed I hadn't seen it in years, but I
Speaker 1: literally just rewatched it. Um. I forgot they went to
Speaker 1: Florida too. I forgot they went to Florida, and a
Speaker 1: dozen times or more. It was a blip. And the
Speaker 1: reason I started thinking, you know, and neither one of
Speaker 1: us could place where exactly the whole show movie was
Speaker 1: supposed to take place. We did determine that it was Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I believe in the episode at some point, I don't know.
Speaker 1: People up, I gotta say, Austin Handler and Ethan Yavine Anastasio,
Speaker 1: you guys can shove it. Hey, I'm gonna bring I'm
Speaker 1: gonna bring that back. Shove it, shove it. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: what what what did what did Bart Simpson used to say,
Speaker 1: eat my shorts? Yes, eat our collective shorts and mine
Speaker 1: and your shorts shorts shorts in that context, would that
Speaker 1: mean like my you know, short pants or like underwear.
Speaker 1: I didn't eat my shorts means underwear. I think you're
Speaker 1: probably right. That would be more gross. Eat my cargo pants.
Speaker 1: He the large oversized pockets of my cargo pants that
Speaker 1: had all their contents that hold four beers and a hammer.
Speaker 1: So Nola is pouring down rain right now, thank god,
Speaker 1: because Atlanta is having the week of yellow pollen, and
Speaker 1: now there are yellow rivers running down the streets of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: My dear, dear friend Harry is visiting me, and he
Speaker 1: is the sweetest house guest. He literally went out and
Speaker 1: swept the pollen out of my car port without even
Speaker 1: and she just did it. And then then the very
Speaker 1: next day yellow over all over again. You gotta wait
Speaker 1: for that rain. I saw a a line of cars
Speaker 1: outside the car wash, like sixty cars waiting to get through.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you doing? Why bother? Let
Speaker 1: your car be yellow for a week, then it goes
Speaker 1: away the week and a half or so. It's not
Speaker 1: a long severe I mean the pollen count aside, but
Speaker 1: the yellow stuff it's only for a week or two.
Speaker 1: Do you think that cold Play songs about life in
Speaker 1: the South so yellow and yellow? I liked one of
Speaker 1: those albums back in the day. That's the one. Now,
Speaker 1: that's the one, Parachutes, that's a good record. I like
Speaker 1: the cold Rush of Blood to the Head is that
Speaker 1: That was the next one. I thought that was pretty
Speaker 1: good too. That one had clocks on it. That one's
Speaker 1: good too. Those were two. Those are too good, back
Speaker 1: to backs. I think I ended up just wanting to
Speaker 1: kind of face punch Chris Martin for various reasons. He's
Speaker 1: got a very punchable face, and it's probably not fair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's a lovely man, but he just something
Speaker 1: about him, and like the way he's just constantly grinning
Speaker 1: and just showing all his teeth. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: know something about that. He's a little too happy for
Speaker 1: my happy for my taste too. And also they named
Speaker 1: their daughter Apple, which bothers me. Was that bother I
Speaker 1: don't know why that bothers me? I don't know. People,
Speaker 1: we don't want to yuck their young. No old people
Speaker 1: can name their kids. They might think your daughter's name
Speaker 1: is dumb. They might and now we still get a
Speaker 1: face punch and they can eat our collective shorts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd be find the name a kid like sandwich or something,
Speaker 1: you know, sandwich brown apple, apple and sandwich and then
Speaker 1: and then fruit cup. How about gonna name I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have another kid. No, We're gonna adopt another son, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name him Lunchable Bryant, Chuck, I have to
Speaker 1: make a confession on the podcast really quickly. I may
Speaker 1: have I have him nine am early call every two weeks,
Speaker 1: and I may have accidentally fallen asleep for about a
Speaker 1: minute and a half during Today's during Today's and I
Speaker 1: think people may have heard me snore once or twice.
Speaker 1: I don't know this for a fact, but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: fishing for it with like you know, kind of probing
Speaker 1: texts that like about other things, like so everything's cool, right,
Speaker 1: tell him it's the pollen. You can blame everything on pollen.
Speaker 1: I think I could probably do that, Chuck. It's also like,
Speaker 1: come on, if it hasn't happened yet in this world
Speaker 1: of COVID, I think I probably get one pass for
Speaker 1: one's call snooze right at nine am. If you ever
Speaker 1: fall asleep on a mini crush. You're fired from the
Speaker 1: job that pays you nothing. Okay, fair, No, this is
Speaker 1: my prestige. Is the prestige part of the up all right? Normal?
Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do this week is we're gonna
Speaker 1: do because we usually have a longer catch up when
Speaker 1: we don't talk for a couple of weeks, like we
Speaker 1: just did in episode one of two that we're recording.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with a movie crusher post from the
Speaker 1: great Patrick Gorman, who always has he brings the goods.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna do a stream this because I
Speaker 1: have quite a few little things to talk about. Uh,
Speaker 1: so let's get it fired up, Sir Gorman said, this,
Speaker 1: nol you wake up in the last movie you watched?
Speaker 1: What do you do first? And how's your day looking?
Speaker 1: I drank too much last night and watched the last
Speaker 1: Waltz again and stopped making sense again. Wow, So I'm
Speaker 1: in one of those movies, those those counts movies. Are
Speaker 1: you on stage? Are you in the band? Literally the band?
Speaker 1: Are you in the Talking Heads? Or just like a
Speaker 1: happy spectator? I mean, unfortunately I think I'm a spectator.
Speaker 1: But you know, my my concert time Machine. Answer is
Speaker 1: always last Waltz. Like, if you could go to any
Speaker 1: show at any time, it would be at that show
Speaker 1: at winter Land ball Room in San Francisco in six Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's where I am. So my day
Speaker 1: is going great? And what do you do first? The
Speaker 1: first thing I do is, uh, sniff around, see if
Speaker 1: anything's anybody's holding near by me? Exactly, go get a beer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: give Neil Young a heads up on that big old
Speaker 1: rock of cocaine hanging out of his nose. They had
Speaker 1: the cookea booger. Had to tell Himilie about that. Had
Speaker 1: to google a picture of it because they took it
Speaker 1: out right or and they took it out. They took
Speaker 1: it out like frame by frame. I think they had to,
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's I think
Speaker 1: they got George Lucas on that. You know, what's the
Speaker 1: last movie you watching? All? Where are you working up today?
Speaker 1: Full movie? I watched, Oh that's Snyder cut, Baby. We'll
Speaker 1: put a pin in that for extream this. Then, um,
Speaker 1: quite a few people actually watch the Snyder Cut last
Speaker 1: because I'm looking down the list here and Genesis Chapman,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Genesis says, damn it, I guess
Speaker 1: that in Sax Snyder's Justice League thing, I'm I'm living
Speaker 1: in a great nightmare hell escape. My world is entirely
Speaker 1: in slow motion. Everything is just lightning, bolts flickering, and
Speaker 1: I trying to get to the fridge but slow It's unbelievable. Dude,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's laughable. We'll get into it. But I
Speaker 1: overall quite enjoyed the film, but there are some some
Speaker 1: Zack snyderisms that have always bugged me, and it is
Speaker 1: on full blast in this thing. I don't know about
Speaker 1: that guy. Not a huge fan, not a huge fan.
Speaker 1: He keeps getting these big movies, though, and he knows
Speaker 1: how to make them like he makes them, but I
Speaker 1: just don't like the way he makes them. Well, he
Speaker 1: knows how to finish the film and get it released.
Speaker 1: Do you mean he just has this aesthetic that he's
Speaker 1: been using it since that three D and three hundred
Speaker 1: really well, and so you know, he did a Watchman
Speaker 1: movie that was fine, but it just wasn't a huge, huge,
Speaker 1: hugely into his aesthetic. A great Uh let me see here.
Speaker 1: Nick Kelly says, RoboCop two, so I'll probably get murdered
Speaker 1: by criminals or by killer robots. Gorman himself says, the
Speaker 1: Snyder cut days looking pretty bleak, So I'm going straight
Speaker 1: down to party in Atlantis. Atlanta does seem like the
Speaker 1: most chill of the bunch. You know, they've got their
Speaker 1: whole world kind of I don't know, got they got
Speaker 1: a they got a good vibe. I like them, the Atlanteans. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here. Michael Ormand says, does into the
Speaker 1: Spider verse. Count of course it does. You can wake
Speaker 1: up in that movie. Um. Yeah, But Michael doesn't see
Speaker 1: what's going on there, what he's doing. He says this,
Speaker 1: It was only ten minutes until I realized that it
Speaker 1: was Thursday night not Friday. I'm not sure what Michael saying.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Michael, explain yourself. Yes, please clarify. Uh Andy
Speaker 1: Keppler says, Fugazi instrument, So things are looking pretty good
Speaker 1: for me. Nice? Was that like a documentary? I guess
Speaker 1: I didn't know those of Fugazi documentary. I gotta see that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember hearing the name of that. I like that instrument.
Speaker 1: That's great, Yeah, documentary because they're they're the history of
Speaker 1: that band is so much about the history of like
Speaker 1: DC punk and hardcore, like kind of more political uh
Speaker 1: punk and hardcore. I'd love to see that. I don't
Speaker 1: know them super well, but they're one of the more
Speaker 1: melodic bands in that bunch. They actually have cool melodies
Speaker 1: and they're not just screaming scream, which doesn't do it
Speaker 1: for me. Must Yeah, he still loves Fugazi back in
Speaker 1: the day in college and um, what was the other
Speaker 1: BANDI Helmet? You remember Helmett? Helmet was cool, Helmett was
Speaker 1: fucking awesome. Well, the drummer for Helmet went on to
Speaker 1: be in that band Battles that was kind of like
Speaker 1: an electronic tinged sort of math rock band, and he
Speaker 1: the thing when he played live where he has one
Speaker 1: symbol that's like six ft up in the air and
Speaker 1: he has to reach up like with this one long
Speaker 1: arm and like, you know, hit it. It's sort of
Speaker 1: a gimmick, but I guess it's his thing. But it's
Speaker 1: drummers to things like that. Sometimes. The drummer for Emily
Speaker 1: used to know, or I guess still does know the
Speaker 1: two of the people in Silver Sun Pickups when we
Speaker 1: were in l A before they when they were just
Speaker 1: a very small little band in l A. She knew
Speaker 1: them because they worked like production jobs when Emily was
Speaker 1: a producer, and uh, they ended up getting to be
Speaker 1: a much bigger band. And when uh, my buddies to
Speaker 1: Henry Clay people rolled through town, they opened for the
Speaker 1: Silversun Pickups at the Tabernacle got us backstage and Emily
Speaker 1: we got to say hi to the Silversun people. I
Speaker 1: think the bass player and the and the maybe the
Speaker 1: lead singer or who she knew, but their drummer long
Speaker 1: winded story had these crazy, weird high symbols if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, and I just didn't get it. Can you
Speaker 1: google that? Yeah? Yeah, I actually am, and I wanted
Speaker 1: it's funny that you say that. My buddy Matthew Bizelle,
Speaker 1: who is a filmmaker who lived in l A, live
Speaker 1: next door to the bassis of the Silver Sun Pickups,
Speaker 1: and she I played in a little band with him
Speaker 1: called Night People with Shaun Eden from Luna, and she
Speaker 1: did some guest vocals on a couple of songs that
Speaker 1: we did, like remotely or whatever. But her name is
Speaker 1: Nicky Nicki monager Um, and he lived next door to
Speaker 1: her somewhere in LUs Phillis area, Los Feliz, Los Felis,
Speaker 1: Les Felis, that's where we lived. Yeah, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the strummer. He has this one symbol jacked up there
Speaker 1: like seven ft high? Wild? Why do people do that?
Speaker 1: What a drummers do? Weird things, you know? I mean
Speaker 1: it's very particular, Like I have a drum kit here,
Speaker 1: and every time a different drummers sits on it, like
Speaker 1: they always tend to tweak things just so slightly, like
Speaker 1: move the symbols, the angle of the symbols of course. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every time I uh set up the drum kit for
Speaker 1: my drummer when we move band spaces, he always comes
Speaker 1: in and just sort of pats me on my head
Speaker 1: and goes, you're cute, let me let me do it right.
Speaker 1: I like a little height on the symbols though, because
Speaker 1: it's sort of about like, you know, if you're really
Speaker 1: getting into it, you want to be able to kind
Speaker 1: of just like lunge and hit them, and so they
Speaker 1: need to be have a little height to him or
Speaker 1: else you'll accidentally hit him while you're hitting the toms
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, I hear you. What else we got?
Speaker 1: I got Daisy Christina A brew. One of our old
Speaker 1: pals says, putting on She's putting on a little black
Speaker 1: dress and going to Tiffany's unless it's Thursday, in which
Speaker 1: case she's heading to Sing Sing to get the weather
Speaker 1: report from Sally Tomato. Goodness me, Sally Tomato. I don't
Speaker 1: know this character. I don't either, ok uh. One of
Speaker 1: our old pals, Caroline Gaston, says, finally got around to
Speaker 1: Trial of the Chicago Seven. I'll stand out since they
Speaker 1: were like three whole women in the movie. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that one yet. It does the only it has
Speaker 1: some B D E in that movie. What does b
Speaker 1: D E b D energy think about a bit? You know,
Speaker 1: bit man man manpower, b D big big dick Oh
Speaker 1: geez yeah, big dick energy is a thing. I just
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of big, tough, posturing males in
Speaker 1: that movie trying to change the world. You know, that's
Speaker 1: the vibe I get. How do you feel about what's
Speaker 1: his face as Abby Hoffman? As can you take him
Speaker 1: seriously as a serious actor. I didn't see it, but
Speaker 1: I mean in general, in general, sure, I'm all about him,
Speaker 1: Like I think he could be. I think he probably
Speaker 1: is a really good actor, and and it's it's not
Speaker 1: fair to say stuff like Borat isn't good acting, because
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a disappearance he makes in those movies.
Speaker 1: You know, completely, No, I agree with you. I used
Speaker 1: to love that Ali G show back in the day.
Speaker 1: That was good. It was great. It was Has he
Speaker 1: done a big movie with all the characters? And my
Speaker 1: missing one? There's Ali G in the house? Bore at
Speaker 1: two of those and then obviously the Bruno one. Was
Speaker 1: it those three characters or did you have a fourth
Speaker 1: one that I'm forgetting? Those are the three that I Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: brilliant comedian. I love all three of those guys. They're
Speaker 1: all great. Yeah. Yeah, the movie was you know, it
Speaker 1: wasn't as successful, but as a sketch or whatever. The
Speaker 1: little Speaking of prank things, have you seen this new
Speaker 1: Eric Andre things on Netflix called Bad Trip. Crushers were
Speaker 1: talking about it. I want to see it. I guess
Speaker 1: it's it's apparently sort of a calm. It's like it's
Speaker 1: it's definitely in the spirit of Borat, where they're doing
Speaker 1: real things, where the characters are interacting with real people,
Speaker 1: and it's it's intermixed with like you know, shot type
Speaker 1: scene type things that are written. But it sounds interesting,
Speaker 1: sounds like a hybrid. It's from the director of Jackass,
Speaker 1: so I guess that all makes sense. Very interesting. I'll
Speaker 1: have to check that out to do. Like Eric andre
Speaker 1: uh Nathan Nichols says, Manchester by the Sea, things are
Speaker 1: looking grim to say the least. God nikes, yikes. William
Speaker 1: Angus is in Scream too, so William is checking all
Speaker 1: the corners and looking behind all the doors. Two is good.
Speaker 1: I liked. We talked about this. I think all the
Speaker 1: way through like three there, they were all pretty good,
Speaker 1: but like I think one and two were really my favorites. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agreed, agreed. Emily worked on Scream too. That was
Speaker 1: shot here at Agnes Scott. That's right, we've we've definitely
Speaker 1: talked about that before. That's cool. Katie Howard says, having
Speaker 1: a white Russian and going out to get a new
Speaker 1: rug and then bowling after that. I know what Katie
Speaker 1: watched Our oldest of friends. Melinda Baccalo says, wet, hot
Speaker 1: American summer, so pretty busy, lots of Shenanigan's. Maybe some
Speaker 1: hooking up going to be a good day. That'd be
Speaker 1: a fun movie to be in. Did you see this
Speaker 1: the series they made out of that for Netflix? Of
Speaker 1: course it was so good. I thought it really hit
Speaker 1: the same spirit of the movie, uh and felt in
Speaker 1: not okay, necessaries maybe the wrong word, but if connected.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like an afterthought or some kind of throwaway.
Speaker 1: I love that world. Tera Lee Shaw says saw who Boy,
Speaker 1: not much I can do since I'm chained to some
Speaker 1: pipes in a grimy old bathroom. I've had better days.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, thanks, no, thanks, Not the movie you want
Speaker 1: to wake up in. Pete Drummond says kikiS Delivery Service.
Speaker 1: Remind me not to board the blimp. Yeah, spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: bad thing happens with the blimp? All right, Well, but
Speaker 1: she saves the day. God. Sorry, that movie is like
Speaker 1: thirty years old. It's fair. I'd say that's like from
Speaker 1: the eighties, I believe. I don't think. Why don't I
Speaker 1: know that movie? Oh you haven't watched kikiS with your daughter?
Speaker 1: She'll love it. She's a really badass, powerful young woman character. Um.
Speaker 1: And it's a difference a spin on the witch trope,
Speaker 1: where like witches aren't bad at all, and there's some
Speaker 1: bad ones, but she's like a good witch who's kind
Speaker 1: of who's like kind of does this sort of pilgrimage
Speaker 1: that they do when they leave the house and kind
Speaker 1: of go out into the world, and it's sort of
Speaker 1: a coming of age thing. I'm all over peak Mia Zaki,
Speaker 1: and there's a cat but talks. Your daughter will flip.
Speaker 1: It's lovely. Uh well, I'm done with me Zaki now,
Speaker 1: so I'm all over. Let me see here. Emily Newton says,
Speaker 1: I tell the old man to eat a dick, pack
Speaker 1: my bags and take the kid back to Boulder before
Speaker 1: the snow starts. I thought I heard little girls playing
Speaker 1: in the hall last night. I must be going nuts.
Speaker 1: Oh the Shining I told the old man to eat
Speaker 1: a dick. Is that a line of the Shining? It's
Speaker 1: not a line, oh but okay, But the way that
Speaker 1: was said with such confidence, it sounded like it was
Speaker 1: like a quote or something, you know, like it doesn't
Speaker 1: want Emily is in the Shining as Shelley Daval and
Speaker 1: saying screw you. Uh Jack Nicholson, I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 1: I'm packing my bags and I'm taking my kid out
Speaker 1: of here before the snowstorm. Only it's more like, that's
Speaker 1: my Shelley DeVault in that movie. She's got a lot
Speaker 1: of shrieking. She seems genuinely horrified. She was she was
Speaker 1: hanging on by a thread, because that's what it takes.
Speaker 1: I know. God, you think with things like unions there
Speaker 1: would be rules for like how many takes you have
Speaker 1: to do, how much you can how much you can
Speaker 1: abuse an actor. I mean, I know that's why they
Speaker 1: make the big bucks. But also like you hear like
Speaker 1: b York and Large von Trier, like there was real
Speaker 1: psychological abuse going on there, you know, not not cool
Speaker 1: tough stuff. Uh. Chris Clifford says off to fight Schmidt
Speaker 1: at the Hydra base out Schmidt, Yeah about Schmidt and
Speaker 1: Hydra World Hale Hydra No is that way? So that's
Speaker 1: um from one of the movies or is that one
Speaker 1: of the new shows Schmidt. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know the Hydra stuff very well. Hayle Hydronal. That's all
Speaker 1: you need to know. Did you watch any of the knew, uh,
Speaker 1: the Winter Soldier and the Falcon thing? Not yet? You know.
Speaker 1: I watched the first couple of one divisions a while
Speaker 1: ago and then stopped and then Emily said she wanted
Speaker 1: to watch it, so we're just waiting for a window.
Speaker 1: And then, uh, highly recommend and yeah, the one division
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite marvel Ee things. I think
Speaker 1: it's very creative and interesting. Gotta do it, Gotta do it.
Speaker 1: Martin Kidd just watched ray it in the Last Dragon.
Speaker 1: Guess I'm getting turned to stone. That sounds like a spoiler. Dude,
Speaker 1: Ruby pre ordered that for thirty dollars by accident or
Speaker 1: not by accident, but she very much purposely did it.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't understand that stuff, and so I asked
Speaker 1: her to refund. That's how much it is to watch it.
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, it is. The Early Bird is like
Speaker 1: thirty bucks, and I was like, dude, I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that I could set it up to where she can't
Speaker 1: do that. So now I've done that. But I got
Speaker 1: a beef with itune in Disney Plus because I asked
Speaker 1: for a refund. And one of the reasons that on
Speaker 1: the dropdown is like child purchased it by you know,
Speaker 1: without permission, and so that's what I picked, and they
Speaker 1: denied it. And then I appealed it and wrote out
Speaker 1: my case and they denied it again. They kept my
Speaker 1: thirty dollars. Noel so mad at them. I guess their argument,
Speaker 1: did they did they respond to your appeal with the
Speaker 1: verbal rebuttal. No, they just said no, yeah, faceless corp
Speaker 1: corporate now in their infinite wisdom. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: their argument would be like, well, we make these uh
Speaker 1: safeguards available and you should have known and put them
Speaker 1: in place. But I argue, they don't make them obvious
Speaker 1: and you have to kind of dig deep to find
Speaker 1: them or be faced with a situation where you then
Speaker 1: have to be like, oh shoot, I better figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, if this is an option. So I was
Speaker 1: none too pleased. I don't I don't doubt it, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I don't doubt it. I've I've I've encourage your wrath.
Speaker 1: I told Ruby, I said, is coming out of your
Speaker 1: future allowance? When I'm gonna remind you when you're tin
Speaker 1: or when? When when do kids start getting allowances? H? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well it it does not quite manifest itself that way.
Speaker 1: I know I make her doucheh it, but I'm constantly
Speaker 1: crediting and debiting her, and this invisible ledger exists somewhere
Speaker 1: in my head. Okay, that's fair. Now, she's very helpful.
Speaker 1: She helps me with cleaning and dishes and all kinds
Speaker 1: of stuff she earns her keep. Yeah, Ruben's got a
Speaker 1: couple of little chores. She feeds the dogs every day
Speaker 1: twice a day. And then we're trying to get her
Speaker 1: to start picking up after herself a little bit, because
Speaker 1: you know, kids, they just that concept is completely lost
Speaker 1: on them, totally. Stuff is just where you drop it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And apparently, you know, the
Speaker 1: therapy community says it's okay, let your kid have a
Speaker 1: messy room because it gives them like ownership over their space.
Speaker 1: And then, you know, and I found that to be
Speaker 1: the case, and she gradually has turned her room into
Speaker 1: sort of a reflection of her personality. And like the
Speaker 1: fact that she, you know, can make it be messy
Speaker 1: a little bit is empowering and I'm into that. But
Speaker 1: then there could come a point while going there, I'll
Speaker 1: be like, yo, you gotta go, we gotta do something
Speaker 1: about this. No. I mean, Ruby's room is usually pretty messy,
Speaker 1: but she will. She will also clean it without being
Speaker 1: asked sometimes and then come and get us and say,
Speaker 1: come and look at my room. So like little things
Speaker 1: like that are great. I love that. By the way,
Speaker 1: breaking news. I know this is going to be late
Speaker 1: when it comes out, but the danger of and just
Speaker 1: posted that it's old pal Mike Sam's birthday, So I
Speaker 1: know this is gonna come out a week I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: not even that late next Monday. But here today on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: the thirty one of March. Mike, happy birthday, my friend,
Speaker 1: happy birthday. Indeed. Um wait, and we already talked about this.
Speaker 1: Who else had a birthday? Someone else had a birthday.
Speaker 1: My good buddy Harry who's visiting. It's his birthday coming
Speaker 1: up on April fourth, So when this comes out, he
Speaker 1: should be like seventy years old or something. He's like
Speaker 1: literally my old friend. I've known him for many years,
Speaker 1: since I was about thirteen. Us to run a record
Speaker 1: store in my hometown. Um, and I think he's uh,
Speaker 1: I think he's pushing sixty five. But not it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem a day over forty. My brother's birthday is uh,
Speaker 1: geez Friday, amazing. Yeah, no aprip fools jokes this year. No, oh,
Speaker 1: I know we don't. We don't have an Apri Pol's episode.
Speaker 1: Unfortunate that the yeah people people don't like to be
Speaker 1: tricked to be tricked. Alright, Uh, let's wrap this up
Speaker 1: with stream this because I have quite a few things here.
Speaker 1: Uh still barreling through six ft under enough said six
Speaker 1: Season five, Season three same, We're probably right around the
Speaker 1: same time, Arthur, the same, right there, right there, right
Speaker 1: there with you. I love him and I almost forgot
Speaker 1: that he was in it for a minute. Oh man.
Speaker 1: This season season three so painful because Nate and Lisa
Speaker 1: are married, and it's just the thing happens in season three.
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of where the thing begins? Well yeah,
Speaker 1: but just their marriage is just so painful because they're
Speaker 1: just they shouldn't be married. It's not right, and he's
Speaker 1: trying to be this thing that he's not, and it's
Speaker 1: just Nate's gotta be Nate. Man, it was, It's very painful.
Speaker 1: Now I've seen I've yeah for sure, and then something
Speaker 1: god yeah anyway, Uh no, I watched the Coming to
Speaker 1: America sequel finally, Oh dish, my friend, I've read some
Speaker 1: hot takes on that one. Then I kind of have
Speaker 1: a feeling I know where you're gonna go. Well, here's
Speaker 1: my hot take is I was in the perfect mood
Speaker 1: for it. Emily and I were, and we really enjoyed it. Uh.
Speaker 1: It was a very very lazy remake, the worst kind
Speaker 1: of remake where you literally just do the same jokes.
Speaker 1: But you know what, it was a nostalgia bomb. They
Speaker 1: brought back so much like they went all the way,
Speaker 1: which I really appreciate. If they would have done it
Speaker 1: halfway and just brought back a few of the characters,
Speaker 1: it would have been super lame. But they went. They
Speaker 1: really dug deep and went all the way with the
Speaker 1: nostalgia bomb. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very lazy.
Speaker 1: I never want to see it again, but I really
Speaker 1: had a good time watching it, and I think it
Speaker 1: had plenty of funny moments. So that's my take. Okay,
Speaker 1: got it. I was almost about to click it the
Speaker 1: other day because I was looking for a feel good thing,
Speaker 1: but I think I watched something else instead. I can't
Speaker 1: remember what it was. Uh. And then the other two
Speaker 1: things I'm gonna mention Nolan because we can chat about them,
Speaker 1: I think is I did watch the High Score documentary
Speaker 1: series on your recommendation, just finished it last night, and
Speaker 1: I watched the Last Blockbuster documentary that's next for me.
Speaker 1: I do want to watch that because I obviously am
Speaker 1: a total blockbuster kid. But what did you think of
Speaker 1: High Score? Well, I'm gonna put both of them in
Speaker 1: the same bucket because they're kind of similar. They were
Speaker 1: both the nostalgia bombs as well. I really enjoyed both
Speaker 1: of them. But I will say this, they fit into
Speaker 1: this kind of category of these newer kind of streaming
Speaker 1: service documentary series that are it's almost like, uh, this
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm I'm being too hard on it, but
Speaker 1: um for things that I enjoyed, but it's almost like
Speaker 1: the the v H one. I love the eighties documentary style,
Speaker 1: you know, I can see that. I will say this though,
Speaker 1: I was expecting much more of that with the High
Speaker 1: Score thing, but they really they dug a little deeper
Speaker 1: in places like there's a whole episode about um like
Speaker 1: this l g B t Q gay Blade. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I never knew about it. And and like one thing
Speaker 1: somebody pointed out to me is there's um one of
Speaker 1: the interview subjects who is a trans woman, and they
Speaker 1: don't make a big thing of it, like it's some
Speaker 1: token like look at us being so woke. It just
Speaker 1: comes up organically because she brings it up very you know,
Speaker 1: just like matter of factly, and and any in in
Speaker 1: a in a less capable hands, I think that would
Speaker 1: have been much more of like a trotting out there
Speaker 1: token trans person. But I thought they handled it with
Speaker 1: a lot of care and respect and the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I thought they did a good job. I actually wished
Speaker 1: it would have gone on. I was hoping it was
Speaker 1: going to get more into like Minecraft, and there could
Speaker 1: have been modern things. Sure, it could have been twice
Speaker 1: as long. Probably, Um I I enjoyed it. I enjoyed
Speaker 1: them both. I think they were both a little corny
Speaker 1: at times, um, but I did enjoy them both. I'll
Speaker 1: just say that last Blockbuster was was good. But also
Speaker 1: there there's a tone and I think the high score, narrator,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it's just, you know, it's not
Speaker 1: I guess it's a documentary, but it's not like serious documentary.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm with you, But I but I but
Speaker 1: I was like cream exactly. But that's just what I
Speaker 1: need now. It's probably entertained, and I found myself clicking
Speaker 1: to the next one and the next one, the next one.
Speaker 1: To me, that's a success, you know, totally, and you
Speaker 1: know it spent it was my childhood basically through college, uh,
Speaker 1: from Pong to Mortal Kombat basically well, and then I
Speaker 1: guess the First person Shooters came after that. That was
Speaker 1: the last episode, right, it really was, and then they
Speaker 1: sort of like did the big like and then everything else,
Speaker 1: you know, um, but oh, the the one that I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting was when it gets into like the
Speaker 1: senate hearings around that like full motion video game called
Speaker 1: night Trap. It never heard of the game. It looked crazy,
Speaker 1: and it just goes to show how, you know, when
Speaker 1: there are these like moral panics, it almost always results
Speaker 1: from ignorance and laziness, where they clearly, if they looked
Speaker 1: at the whole game, they realized nobody's getting triggered to
Speaker 1: murder co eds by this, and the story about how
Speaker 1: they kept trying to dump it down and make it
Speaker 1: less and less and less offensive and scary, and they
Speaker 1: pick this one scene where there's this stupid vampire thing
Speaker 1: with like looks like one of those grabber claw things
Speaker 1: used to get you know, and it just looks ridiculous
Speaker 1: and they're like clutching their pearls, acting like it's corrupting
Speaker 1: the children, which is just assert for a game that
Speaker 1: no one played. Yeah, it's funny that, you know, the
Speaker 1: um all the stuff that's happening lately with the cancel
Speaker 1: culture and that stuff that Ted Cruz shared about the
Speaker 1: article we shared about how gen x has to save
Speaker 1: us from cancel culture because we're in the middle of
Speaker 1: the millennials and the boomers, and the boomers are saying
Speaker 1: gen X help us out from cancel culture, and so
Speaker 1: all these memes are going around that are just fucking fantastic.
Speaker 1: Emily and I've been dying as gen xer is like
Speaker 1: basically saying screw you boomers, like you were the cancel culture.
Speaker 1: You tried to cancel heavy metal music and video games
Speaker 1: and you know, burn books like so fuck you. And
Speaker 1: all the memes were great, like for every uh one
Speaker 1: of them was for for every boomer out there that
Speaker 1: hates millennials and millennials that hates boomers. Remember there's a
Speaker 1: gen Xer that hates you both absolutely. And the gen
Speaker 1: xers are scary. They freaked me out, man, and the
Speaker 1: best possible way. When I say scariest, I mean they're
Speaker 1: scary smart, and they're scary, like you know, woke, and
Speaker 1: it's they're gonna fucking own the world in a really
Speaker 1: interesting way and shape it. You know. I feel good
Speaker 1: about gen X. Yeah, that was pretty funny. We were
Speaker 1: the Letchkey kids. Man, our parents weren't watching. Uh oh no, sorry,
Speaker 1: gen Z is who I'm talking about. It's cool too,
Speaker 1: But gen Z who is the new kind of gen X? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. But like her and her type, like,
Speaker 1: they just have a certain awareness and they've they're living
Speaker 1: through very bleak times and they're having to kind of adapt,
Speaker 1: and I think it's just gonna give them some serious power.
Speaker 1: I thought you were miss speaking because gen X were
Speaker 1: the ferres Bueller's were very mean. That's what I wasn't speaking.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chuck. Um uh So, have you've been streaming anything?
Speaker 1: Nol lots? Yeah? What did I stream? I stremped the
Speaker 1: uh stremped. I'm gonna I'm gonna sticking with it. The
Speaker 1: Snyder cut, which I thought was fine, Way too much SloMo,
Speaker 1: a little too long, but he's it's good. It tells
Speaker 1: a story. Well. I think Ben Afflecks Batman looks ridiculous.
Speaker 1: He's all boxy and like fat Batman and just like
Speaker 1: he always looks confused, like he's walked into He's like
Speaker 1: he's like lost John Travolta every time he walked into
Speaker 1: the scene. Kind of Um, I really really dig this
Speaker 1: anime series called Doro Hidoro that's on Netflix. That's like, uh,
Speaker 1: there was really psychedelic kind of like almost like if
Speaker 1: if um uh. Alejandro Jordanowski made an anime with like
Speaker 1: you know, uh, the guy that did a Kira or something. Um,
Speaker 1: it's very very trippy. It's this world inhabited by sorcerers
Speaker 1: and bounty hunters, and the sorcerers all have these kind
Speaker 1: of superpowers single power, like but of them's powers to
Speaker 1: turn people into mushrooms and he then eats them. It's it.
Speaker 1: It gets violent, and it's definitely got some spooky qualities,
Speaker 1: but it always reels it in with some humor. And
Speaker 1: there's also it's all about food. All the characters are
Speaker 1: always hungry and they're always making these elaborate like Japanese
Speaker 1: dishes like noodles and and uh geoza and things like that,
Speaker 1: and so there's all these really crazy beauty shots of food,
Speaker 1: which is also a thing in Miyazaki films um but
Speaker 1: highly recommend that. What else? Yeah, one division. I loved
Speaker 1: finish that really really loved it. Thought it was really warm,
Speaker 1: heartfelt and and and creative and just like really made
Speaker 1: me feel the fields. Yeah, I gotta do. It's all.
Speaker 1: That's all I got for now, all right. No, Well,
Speaker 1: let's wrap it up and spank it on the bottom
Speaker 1: and get this one out the door, out of the
Speaker 1: oven and onto the table and onto the plates where
Speaker 1: people can consume it and then poop it out. Wow. Wow, Chuck,
Speaker 1: that was a whole whole imagistic trajectory. You journey took
Speaker 1: us southway. I love it all right, Thanks everyone, We'll
