Speaker 1: Angley Angle? Incredible Hulk? Uh? It was all right, It
Speaker 1: was all right, It wasn't It felt very odd to
Speaker 1: me that last one he did was supposed to be
Speaker 1: a real stinker. It doesn't feel like it's part of
Speaker 1: like the Marvel universe even like it's sort of like
Speaker 1: got like the boot, Like it's not canon. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't know what how real fans consider it, but it
Speaker 1: it was sort of a for they started building that
Speaker 1: world out, so it was okay, you know. Was His
Speaker 1: latest was the one with Will Smith like playing old
Speaker 1: Will Smith and young Will Smith fighting each other on motorcycles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I just watched Nold tell me. I'm
Speaker 1: so fucking fired up. You know, Peter Jackson has been
Speaker 1: making this Beatles documentary. Yeah, yeah, talking about that. It
Speaker 1: was supposed to be finished, and for those of you
Speaker 1: listening that don't know, Peter Jackson is dug up all
Speaker 1: this archival footage from the from these final sessions the
Speaker 1: Beatles did where for years the narrative was that these
Speaker 1: sessions were just fighting and sniping because that's the only
Speaker 1: footage that was ever played, and um, he dug up
Speaker 1: all this other stuff and was just like it wasn't
Speaker 1: like that, you guys, The Beatles didn't hate each other.
Speaker 1: It was so much joy and uh he released a
Speaker 1: little sneak peak. It was supposed to be out by now,
Speaker 1: but Covid put it off, so he released a sneak
Speaker 1: peak today and there is. It shows these four old friends,
Speaker 1: as you know dudes, at the end of their career
Speaker 1: as a band, having so much fun in the studio
Speaker 1: recording these songs, and it just like makes my heart swell.
Speaker 1: What record is this? Like let it Be? Or uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess it was a let it Be sessions, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that that would that's the one that I know.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of footage of, Yeah, when they played
Speaker 1: on the roof and all that stuff. Yeah, that's the one.
Speaker 1: So I just can't wait for this. And it's in
Speaker 1: beautiful color and they're they're at that age that they
Speaker 1: all look super fucking cool. Yeah, that's when John had
Speaker 1: like the long beard and the long hair, magical hermit,
Speaker 1: but long hair, yeah, got it. The beard would kind
Speaker 1: of come and go. But they all had some Actually,
Speaker 1: John didn't have a stash. The rest of them are
Speaker 1: rocking some pretty good stashes. Did you hear that Paul
Speaker 1: has a new record that just came out that he
Speaker 1: played and produced every moment of himself. Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: always did that. I guess that's true, but maybe not always.
Speaker 1: But this one they made kind of like a point
Speaker 1: in the pr for it that, like he played every instrument.
Speaker 1: He didn't intend to make it, but then COVID happened.
Speaker 1: Then he sort of phone was isolated. Listen of the
Speaker 1: first couple of tracks. So it's cute, like it's it's weird.
Speaker 1: Actually it's got some Okay, I want to hear more
Speaker 1: of it. I mean it's you know, he's a genius.
Speaker 1: It's it's uh. It's tough, though, to keep putting out
Speaker 1: amazing music your entire life. It's true. McCartney three after
Speaker 1: McCartney won, McCartney too. McCartney three. Ram is my go
Speaker 1: to Ram, big Ram fan, big Ram fans, great Ram fan.
Speaker 1: So uh Noel uh, we are recording this three or
Speaker 1: four days before Christmas. This is going to come out.
Speaker 1: These next two episodes are coming out after Christmas, so
Speaker 1: there's gonna be no Christmas content. Thank God, thank God,
Speaker 1: Thanks sweet Baby Jesus on Christmas. Not for Christmas to
Speaker 1: be over. But you can only talk about Christmas and
Speaker 1: movies for so long, you know, right, Well, we talked
Speaker 1: about how you can only talk about Christmas movies for
Speaker 1: so long, and we gave a whole episode to them.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I think that's enough. I think
Speaker 1: that's enough. I wanted to cover a couple of things
Speaker 1: real quick. Noll the Tom cruise rant thoughts, there's a
Speaker 1: new rant. Oh did you hear You didn't hear the
Speaker 1: rant last week? Know what not? I mean, like different
Speaker 1: than the one where he was on Oprah and stood
Speaker 1: on the couch. This was a contemporary cruise rant. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was recorded on set um losing it on some
Speaker 1: crew members because of COVID protocols and um. It was interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, most people on the Crushers page were and
Speaker 1: on the Internet were very much in his camp, saying like,
Speaker 1: damn straight man, take it serious and let him have it. Uh.
Speaker 1: I was a little more in the middle because I
Speaker 1: certainly think you should take it seriously, obviously, But from
Speaker 1: what I saw and heard, it was two crew members
Speaker 1: who were a little less than six ft apart. It
Speaker 1: wasn't the way he acted like it was like he
Speaker 1: busted them in a bar or something like doing you know, uh,
Speaker 1: shots off each other's stomach or something like. He really
Speaker 1: went off and everyone's under a lot of pressure, and
Speaker 1: I think it can be owed to that. But the
Speaker 1: other thing I will say is that, you know, my
Speaker 1: friend just got off a very big movie that I've
Speaker 1: spoken about before, where that the crew was essentially quarantined
Speaker 1: in a hotel. The cars were tracked and they couldn't
Speaker 1: do anything. They couldn't see their family even masked and
Speaker 1: distance and outside on their day off, like they were
Speaker 1: completely sequestered, while above the line people we're going out
Speaker 1: to dinner and having their families flown in. So there's
Speaker 1: a power dynamic here at work as well. And that's
Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say about it. Yeah. Leah Remini, who
Speaker 1: does a fantastic scientology podcast with us on the Network
Speaker 1: called fair Gaming or sorry Scientology, fair game, Um, She
Speaker 1: says that Tom Cruise is psychotic. COVID nineteen rant is
Speaker 1: a publicity stunt, and that he is an abusive person.
Speaker 1: I have witnessed it. I've been a recipient of it
Speaker 1: on a small level. This is the real Tom Well.
Speaker 1: And and again it's like Scientology is an organization, call it, cults,
Speaker 1: call it religion, just full of abuse. So it's a
Speaker 1: little hard to really jump behind Tom Cruise as some champion. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, a little rich. I do. I do know,
Speaker 1: I do know. I again, I haven't heard it, but
Speaker 1: I know I know what he's capable of. And um,
Speaker 1: fascinated by Scientology and anyone that is fascinated by I
Speaker 1: should listen to Leo's podcast. And also, um, something don't
Speaker 1: want you to know did a two part interview with
Speaker 1: her co host on that podcast, Mike Render. It used
Speaker 1: to be a high level PR guy with Scientology. Now
Speaker 1: he's defected and he spills literally all the beans about it.
Speaker 1: And it does have this crazy abusive kind of gas
Speaker 1: lighting power dynamic about it that this sort of rings true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know, all I'll say is tensions are high.
Speaker 1: It's tough to try and make these movies right now. Um,
Speaker 1: he is under a lot of pressure as the start
Speaker 1: to kind of keep this thing together. So I see
Speaker 1: all sides. There's a lack of context that doesn't help
Speaker 1: in a lot of gray area. So that's where I am. No,
Speaker 1: I feel you, man, that's where I am. Big shout
Speaker 1: out to Mike Sam's movie Crusher, who has been doing
Speaker 1: this great experiment on the Crushers page, filling his holes
Speaker 1: with suggestions and reviews. Um, he'll take his suggestion from
Speaker 1: another Crusher. Yeah, myke movie, And it's been a really
Speaker 1: cool experiment and everyone got really involved, and I just
Speaker 1: think it's wonderful. He watched one that was my recommendation
Speaker 1: that he mentioned. I think it was Waiting for Guffman.
Speaker 1: He'd never seen Waiting for a Gouffman, and I think
Speaker 1: he really liked that one. Yeah, a lot of his
Speaker 1: holes were substantial, and he owned it. You know, like,
Speaker 1: I think, very brave to put yourself out there. Sam's
Speaker 1: good job. Um. I went live the other day, NOL
Speaker 1: when you've had to cancel the last minute. I was
Speaker 1: down here in the basement and had a repair person upstairs,
Speaker 1: so I was kind of sequestered, and I was like, yeah, shit,
Speaker 1: hit go live, and I got a few hundred people
Speaker 1: there watching on on Instagram no on the movie crush page,
Speaker 1: that's great, it was fun. That sounds fun. And told
Speaker 1: those people that we finally watched Home Alone this year
Speaker 1: with Ruby and boy Noel five years old. She get
Speaker 1: a kick outs. It turns out is a great age
Speaker 1: to take in Home Alone for the first time. Bet
Speaker 1: she loved it. The kid wins like is it's kind
Speaker 1: of perfect for a kid that age because the kid
Speaker 1: is always thwarting the adults and um, sweet message, good
Speaker 1: Christmas stuff. It was just really really good. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play a clip Knoll if I can. I recorded
Speaker 1: her watching it and it's just kind of funny. Let
Speaker 1: me tell everyone what you're gonna hear. Yeah, This is
Speaker 1: the scene at the end where the Tarantula spoilers, where
Speaker 1: there's a tarantula on Joe Pesci's chest laying on the floor.
Speaker 1: Daniel Stern gets the crowbar to smash the tarantula, tranchula
Speaker 1: gets away, he gets smashed, and then right after that
Speaker 1: McAuley Culkin is upstairs and gets on his little zip
Speaker 1: line in zip lines with his handlebars into is like drunker, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So what you're gonna hear is is Ruby, very very
Speaker 1: concerned about the trantula because she doesn't want the tranchula
Speaker 1: to get hurt, and then very excited about the zip
Speaker 1: lining and the word she says, if you can't understand
Speaker 1: is it's like he's flying. So let me play this
Speaker 1: little clip here. Can you hear that? Can are you doing? Most?
Speaker 1: What are you worried about the tray? Yeah, that's part
Speaker 1: one that John Williams score. Oh yeah, all right, so
Speaker 1: that's it. Nothing like the joy of a child watching
Speaker 1: a movie like that. That's so fun. I guess I
Speaker 1: was how ol does she again? Four? She's five and
Speaker 1: a half, five and a half. Yeah, I guess I
Speaker 1: was a little overtit when I saw that, But I
Speaker 1: saw when it first came out in the theaters. I
Speaker 1: probably was about six. But god, I love that movie.
Speaker 1: It's like a cartoon, so like, you know, it has
Speaker 1: all that violence, but it's all goofy and funny. And
Speaker 1: she laughed her ass off. Man, she I mean we
Speaker 1: all did, We all had we had a great time.
Speaker 1: Somebody pointed out a scene, I think it was on
Speaker 1: the Crushers page about how like whatever Daniel Stearn's character is,
Speaker 1: he has the most bizarre squealing scream. I can't even
Speaker 1: do it. But there's a scene where he gets like
Speaker 1: electrocuted and then all of a sudden, he like turns
Speaker 1: into a full skeleton and then back in to a
Speaker 1: person in the skeleton. Like it's total cartoony. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: in Home Alone too, Lost in New York because I
Speaker 1: had never seen that movie NOL because I was like
Speaker 1: I was in my early twenties when that came out
Speaker 1: in college, so I was not into Homeland too. So
Speaker 1: we watched that for the first time, and that movie sucks.
Speaker 1: Oh no, didn't hold up. It's not holding up, dude.
Speaker 1: It is the worst kind of sequel, which is the
Speaker 1: same retread every beat for literal beat for beat remake,
Speaker 1: like they just they did some of the same exact
Speaker 1: gags with the criminals, like the paint cans. It's it's
Speaker 1: really really lazy as fuck. It was very disappointing, and
Speaker 1: even has the misunderstood creepy adult you know, like the
Speaker 1: pigeon lady versus the snow whatever snowplow man. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: it was so he's got a snow shovel. That's what
Speaker 1: I was. Yeah. Posthumous Lee angry at John Hughes. I
Speaker 1: was like, sir, you just phoned it in many It
Speaker 1: was very disappointing. I think the critic the critics are
Speaker 1: in your corner on that one too, probably so. And
Speaker 1: then Donald Trump's in it too, which just made me
Speaker 1: want to vomit. He makes he helps him find the lobby.
Speaker 1: That's the most useful thing Donald Trump ever did. All right,
Speaker 1: so we are going to go. This is both of these,
Speaker 1: Knoll because I've just been so busy here trying to
Speaker 1: get everything done before Christmas. Are both Crushers Specials, which
Speaker 1: means you know, that means that means I'm letting the
Speaker 1: crushers dictate the content. Love it. So I had one
Speaker 1: here from our old friend von Bodette. He always comes
Speaker 1: up with the best stuff on the Crushers page, really
Speaker 1: engages people. And he said this null name a movie
Speaker 1: that expanded your knowledge of a subject you weren't familiar with.
Speaker 1: Good question, can you think of one? Yeah? One? Uh,
Speaker 1: the movie Rounders. Rounders gave me a little little sneak
Speaker 1: peek into the world of professional gambling and poker and
Speaker 1: all that stuff in a time where I was not
Speaker 1: really familiar at all. Yeah, and now you're now I'm
Speaker 1: an all pro, you're a champion World Series of Poker player.
Speaker 1: I'm in gamblers anonymous. Oh you went full circle already,
Speaker 1: problem Soldier House, I lost all that money and not here.
Speaker 1: Now you're clean. I'm good. I don't want to make
Speaker 1: light of that. It's a big problem. No, it is
Speaker 1: a big deal. It is a big deal. And actually
Speaker 1: just on another slight aside. A good example too is
Speaker 1: the Sopranos. The Sopranos have been rewatching recently. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how I did that show you are, but there's
Speaker 1: an episode or an arc where, um, I think his
Speaker 1: name is Robert Patrick. He played the T one thousand
Speaker 1: in uh Terminator too. He plays like one of Tony's
Speaker 1: childhood friends, and he gets way in over his head
Speaker 1: and gambling debt, and they do turn out what's called
Speaker 1: what's called a bust out where they take his business
Speaker 1: and they just like eat into it like termites and
Speaker 1: just like running into the round and charge you know,
Speaker 1: products on his lines of credit that they then sell
Speaker 1: and basically just make him go bankrupt too, you know.
Speaker 1: And then he's like, what's what's next? He's like, what's next?
Speaker 1: Like you go bankrupt, you're done, and this is whatever
Speaker 1: you want the money, all to collect the money, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I remember that. Okay, now we're gonna start
Speaker 1: with Zannah. Jean Zannah, I don't think i've seen you. Welcome.
Speaker 1: Uh dig the two thousand four documentary of the rivalry
Speaker 1: between Brian Jonestown, Masker and the Dandy Warhols. Love it
Speaker 1: opening in and working to the music industry. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this in Zanna says this especially to a young girl
Speaker 1: fronting a Seattle band in the early two thousand So
Speaker 1: Zanna is cool as hell, no doubt. Rosanna. I don't
Speaker 1: know which is an all. I mean you you kind
Speaker 1: of committed to the first one, so I would just
Speaker 1: lean into it. Uh Rochelle Jones says documentary Senna and Rush,
Speaker 1: both movies about Formula one support my husband loves and
Speaker 1: great for me to watch so I can understand his
Speaker 1: love more. That's nice. Karin slump Heugh is one of
Speaker 1: Royal Palace's man on wire. Uh yeah, that's a good one,
Speaker 1: much better than that garbage movie. It was about to
Speaker 1: say the like dramatization version his face. I think we
Speaker 1: bagged on that before, so I haven't seen it, but
Speaker 1: I just didn't care to. It's one of was like,
Speaker 1: why would I bother? Yeah, it's really disappointing. Yeah, Zach
Speaker 1: Pointer says Rudy. Sure. A lot of these are documentaries.
Speaker 1: Freddy Lynn announced that movie Rudy. I like to over
Speaker 1: over annunciate and call it Rudy Ruddy Rudy. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the one about the little guy that plays football. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. Freddy Lens is free solo. Sure, John Bick,
Speaker 1: this is a good, good answer here. The Big Short, Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I think the financial crisis was a bit of a
Speaker 1: mystery to a lot of people as to exactly how
Speaker 1: that happened. And The Big Short did a great job
Speaker 1: of breaking that down. It did, indeed, and it also
Speaker 1: just showed the whole world of that time with the
Speaker 1: housing crisis and the foreclosures, and you know, really tied
Speaker 1: it all together. It was very very well done and funny.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, very funny. Kry Nelson says Fiddler in the
Speaker 1: Roof documentary. I did not know that existed. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see that. One of our old friends, Melinda Beccalleo says, done, Kirk.
Speaker 1: Whereas I like to say dan Kirk. Yes, yes, it's
Speaker 1: the only way to say it. It's the only way.
Speaker 1: She says this. Definitely became more interested in the situation
Speaker 1: as a whole, and we went back to learn more
Speaker 1: about it. Watch the other movie, The Darkest Hour, etcetera. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good his historic hole to crawl into. Let
Speaker 1: me see here. Ian Tyson said, Interstellar with quantum physics. Okay. Uh.
Speaker 1: Cindy Haynesworth Coron says the Dish with Sam Neil. I
Speaker 1: don't know that movie, do you know. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: googling it right now. It sounds like it's perhaps about food.
Speaker 1: Maybe let's see Australian historical comedy drama tell the story
Speaker 1: of It's about a satellite, not about food at all. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a historical comedy drama. That's a very interesting mishmash
Speaker 1: of genre. It is our old friend, Austin Hadler says,
Speaker 1: a league of their own, of course. Yeah. The Queen's
Speaker 1: gambits on here. Andrea McBride, Dicky, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we've talked about a little bit a lot. So many
Speaker 1: people are playing chess and interested in chess now, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: good job. What's her face? What's that actress's name? Oh,
Speaker 1: my gosh, it's a real job. What's her face? It's
Speaker 1: a three part name. It's one of those great it's
Speaker 1: one of the great three part names. What's her face now? Chuck? No,
Speaker 1: why it's Love Joy something Joy? What the hell is
Speaker 1: her name? I know it. I'm just I'm watching. I
Speaker 1: love watching and Anya Taylor Joy. It's it's like a
Speaker 1: hyphen it Taylor Joy. Yeah, Earl Power. Rebecca Robes says
Speaker 1: The Exorcist getting much better at possession since watching. That's cute,
Speaker 1: good one Robes here, But I will say that movie
Speaker 1: does have a lot of stuff about, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: the church has a stance on possession, and they like
Speaker 1: play into that pretty pretty well, you know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean Josh and I did a Exorcism podcast many many
Speaker 1: years ago. Grant Woody says Rounders as well. Nol oh nice.
Speaker 1: And another movie I haven't seen that. I want to perfume,
Speaker 1: the story of a murderer. Have you heard that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this supposed to be good. Perfume Is that older? Uh,
Speaker 1: it's like ten or twelve years old? Maybe I'm looking
Speaker 1: now two thousand six, Okay, more than that, fourteen years
Speaker 1: ago good Lord, which it sounds like it might be
Speaker 1: like like a Cuzo mystery. This is a psychological thriller
Speaker 1: from Tom tick ver Oh Ship who did fucking Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That dust as Halfman Ellen Rickman Ben Wishaw. I think
Speaker 1: it was about what is it about? Don't give me
Speaker 1: the parent. It's apparently the story of a murderer, Chuck,
Speaker 1: So we can just leave it at that, all right,
Speaker 1: We'll leave it at that. That's that's yeah, exactly, it's
Speaker 1: it looks cool. The cover looks cool with like a
Speaker 1: woman disintegrating into rose pedals. Yeah, like they I loved
Speaker 1: I loved Run Lola Run. I haven't thought about that
Speaker 1: movie in a long time. So great, Spencer Dumpi's Moneyball,
Speaker 1: uh so baseball or rather behind the scenes. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that one had that one had some like big short
Speaker 1: type vibes. Wasn't it about like using stats in a
Speaker 1: really like a big way. It's sort of a different way,
Speaker 1: these analytics that had never been kind of used before,
Speaker 1: and also building a baseball team in a different way financially.
Speaker 1: It's it's even if you don't like baseball. I think
Speaker 1: Moneyball is fairly interesting. Like Emily really liked it. She's
Speaker 1: okay with baseball though. Yeah, ball is just all right
Speaker 1: with me. Baseball is just all right. Uh, Nathan Venezelle
Speaker 1: van Zeal, catch me if you can. Had no idea
Speaker 1: about that story. Uh, it's great. Not only is it great,
Speaker 1: but it's a documentary. Well not exactly, but I know
Speaker 1: what you mean. Yes, it's a true story. That's a
Speaker 1: true story, h Nick Kelly. And a Broadway musical? Is
Speaker 1: it really? It made it into a Broadway musical? Yep.
Speaker 1: I don't think I knew that or did I? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the big short that should be musical. That would be good.
Speaker 1: I could see that playing well. Nick Kelly says, hidden
Speaker 1: figures of course. Uh, and let me throw out one more. Well,
Speaker 1: let me throw out a couple of more. Joanna Wick says,
Speaker 1: just a mercy about systemic racism. I have not seen
Speaker 1: that yet. And then we'll neither. We'll finish with a
Speaker 1: funny one. Brian Ridge says wild Things. That was pretty young.
Speaker 1: That's what he says. It taught him things, ways of
Speaker 1: feeling about his own body. I understand. Uh. So no,
Speaker 1: that's our only segment today. These are gonna be kind
Speaker 1: of shorter because we're both crushed for time, but I
Speaker 1: do you want to finish with stream this? Poo poo poo?
Speaker 1: Do we shtill use that sound? Cue? Are commune is
Speaker 1: replaced with me going poo poo poo. And while you
Speaker 1: get your list together, I'm gonna go through mine. We
Speaker 1: just finished The Great last night, the show I've mentioned
Speaker 1: before in Hulu about Catherine the Great Comedy very did
Speaker 1: it payoff? It did, Man and and I'm assuming they
Speaker 1: had a two season order, otherwise they wouldn't have, you know,
Speaker 1: just ended it like they did. It's clearly set up
Speaker 1: for season two, but it's gonna be a while, which
Speaker 1: really makes me mad because we're loving the show and
Speaker 1: now I mean it's it's probably gonna be two years
Speaker 1: before we see season two, you know, with COVID going on.
Speaker 1: I finally watched Class Action Park the other day, the
Speaker 1: documentary about the water park in New Jersey in the
Speaker 1: that I didn't even know was narrated by our friend
Speaker 1: John Hodgman. Oh wow, that's funny that you've never mentioned that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he actually well now maybe he didn't on
Speaker 1: our show, but I didn't even realize it until he
Speaker 1: started talking. And that was my old pal Hodgman, And
Speaker 1: you know what makes me mad, noal is I lived
Speaker 1: in New Jersey for the last year of their existence,
Speaker 1: and I didn't know it existed, and it was only
Speaker 1: about forty five minutes away. I would have totally loved
Speaker 1: to have gone to Action Park. It it's that one
Speaker 1: is like on the top of a lot of lists.
Speaker 1: And I actually was looking at a Rotten Tomatoes, like
Speaker 1: you know how they rank everything by reviews, and the
Speaker 1: list of like the year's best whatever. However many movies
Speaker 1: movies it was, I think it was like fifty or something,
Speaker 1: and that was up there. It's got almost a percentum
Speaker 1: positive reviews. But what I realized about this list is
Speaker 1: because there were so few blockbusters, like big, big, big
Speaker 1: ticket blockbusters. The list is all cool, little weird, niche indies,
Speaker 1: and a lot of them I haven't seen. And I'm
Speaker 1: really pumped to like go through this list and like
Speaker 1: watch a lot of these. There's a few movies out
Speaker 1: now that are sort of new that I haven't seen yet.
Speaker 1: The um Sofia Coppoli's new movie I haven't seen yet
Speaker 1: that is online or not online. What do you what
Speaker 1: do you even call that streaming. Uh. I never saw
Speaker 1: that movie Bombshell about Fox News, and that's out now.
Speaker 1: So there are a few, like real movies that don't
Speaker 1: want to see, which which will be is supposed to
Speaker 1: be great. The new David Fincher about the screenwriter Forces
Speaker 1: in Kine. My brother called that a masterpiecell. I've heard
Speaker 1: a lot of people thrown that around because you know,
Speaker 1: everybody loves these old Hollywood kind of you know, um
Speaker 1: love letter kind of things, and apparently it's just like
Speaker 1: it's it's an interesting story too, because David Fincher's father
Speaker 1: wrote the script like a long time ago, I think,
Speaker 1: and he passed away and then I think Fincher finished
Speaker 1: it or you know, did something like that. But it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be really good, good in a classic Gary
Speaker 1: Oldman performance. Well, I mean Fincher, you know, I know
Speaker 1: we're both in the same camp that he is one
Speaker 1: of the great out tours he has indeed. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then two more things and all I watched sort of
Speaker 1: itch that I needed to scratch in the true crime genre,
Speaker 1: a genre that I have loved over the years, and
Speaker 1: it sort of comes and goes as far as my
Speaker 1: interest in it. Uh. And I for some reason just
Speaker 1: really have been wanting to watch a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: So I watched one called a four part series from
Speaker 1: HBO Max called Murder Murder on Middle Beach I think,
Speaker 1: or Murder at Middle Beach. I've heard that's great. It
Speaker 1: really is. It's the story of a of a young
Speaker 1: man who is telling the story of his mother's murder
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out who did it. And uh,
Speaker 1: it's really good, very engrossing. Um yeah, I don't want
Speaker 1: to give anything in a way, but it's it's really
Speaker 1: well done. I quite enjoyed it. I think it's so
Speaker 1: neat when like a documentary can have like a twist.
Speaker 1: It just it requires so much effort to make these
Speaker 1: and like, I mean, I'm like the thinking the obvious,
Speaker 1: but like to just go with it and see what
Speaker 1: happens and where the story takes you, and then for
Speaker 1: it to like just go somewhere crazy out of left field,
Speaker 1: and then to be able to communicate that to viewers
Speaker 1: I think is just a really amazing uh ability. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean usually when you undertake a story like this,
Speaker 1: you're bound to be a little unsatisfied in the end,
Speaker 1: because when do you actually crack the case while making
Speaker 1: the documentary and reveal the murderer in the last episode.
Speaker 1: It is very rare like that. What was it on
Speaker 1: HBO was at the Jinks? Yeah, I mean that's that's
Speaker 1: the Unicorn Man. That's why it was so fucking great.
Speaker 1: It's like the last episode, this guy admits it by
Speaker 1: accidentally being wired up in the bathroom. Unreal. Yeah, so cool. Um.
Speaker 1: And then the other one I watched two nights ago,
Speaker 1: NOL highly recommend. It's also I think on HBO Max
Speaker 1: it's called crazy not Insane, and uh have you seen
Speaker 1: that or heard of it? But I like the name
Speaker 1: it is the story. I'm trying to find her name. Uh.
Speaker 1: It was made by Alex Gibney, the guy who did
Speaker 1: Going Clear, narrated by Laura d Earn, and it tells
Speaker 1: the story of Dorothy Lewis, who was kind of the
Speaker 1: first psychiatrist in the UM seventies, sixties, seventies, eighties to
Speaker 1: explore the idea of serial killers being made and not
Speaker 1: just born wrong like head injuries. Multiple well, these sculpt
Speaker 1: multiple personality disorder. Now I think it's called dissociative identity
Speaker 1: disorder UM. And was you know lapped out of court
Speaker 1: a lot of times. It was at a time where
Speaker 1: no one believed that. Some people still don't believe in
Speaker 1: in uh d I d H. But she it was
Speaker 1: a really really interesting documentary to see this woman put
Speaker 1: it together where she was like, at one point she
Speaker 1: was like abuse, childhood abuse, some form of mental illness,
Speaker 1: and a brain injury. She's like, those three things almost
Speaker 1: of the time make a very very dangerous human being. Uh.
Speaker 1: And she pulled up Mr Eyes of all these famous
Speaker 1: serial killers and showed scarring on the frontal lobe. UM.
Speaker 1: She interviewed twenty two of them and found that but
Speaker 1: virtually every single one of them suffered serious, serious forms
Speaker 1: of child abuse. Many of them had multiples and altars
Speaker 1: that would allow them to deal with that and to
Speaker 1: also kill UM. But you know, there's videotape of these
Speaker 1: interviews where these altars would come out, and it's the
Speaker 1: real deal. It's not you know, in my Chammela in movie.
Speaker 1: You know, it's chilling and amazing and very very interesting,
Speaker 1: crazy not insane. I will check it out, highly recommend
Speaker 1: you got anything. All. Yeah, Like I said, I've been
Speaker 1: doing a Sopranos deep dive rewatch, which I do every year,
Speaker 1: so a couple of years or so, and I realized, like,
Speaker 1: I know that show beat for beats one of my favorites. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what else, Like, uh, that's been
Speaker 1: taking a lot of my time. Did you start from
Speaker 1: the beginning each time? Yes? Yes, every time. He rewatched
Speaker 1: the whole show sever I rewatched the whole show at
Speaker 1: least five times. And it's just I don't know, I
Speaker 1: like to kind of watch. A friend of mine does
Speaker 1: this too, and um. He pointed out that he was
Speaker 1: doing a rewatch of a recently through a particular lens
Speaker 1: because the show occasionally deals with like paranormal afterlife type
Speaker 1: stuff where you know, and and and like there's religion
Speaker 1: involved and like you know, Carmela, for example, Tony's wife
Speaker 1: is very Catholic, and she prais a lot, and like
Speaker 1: you know, has a priest character that she's always talking to,
Speaker 1: and you know, has this like kind of you know,
Speaker 1: religious uh crisis of conscience. It's always going on with
Speaker 1: her being a part of this world and also you know,
Speaker 1: being a religious person. But there's also like a lot
Speaker 1: of characters like kind of almost die and then come
Speaker 1: back and have things to report from the afterlife. And
Speaker 1: my friend Peyton said he was rewatching it with the
Speaker 1: assumption that all that stuff is real, like that's that's
Speaker 1: like his lens through which she is rewatching this stuff.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, So you can just sort of kid uh
Speaker 1: uh huh, kind of a fresh take on it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I really like the new Netflix comedy, like Australian
Speaker 1: comedy show. It's called Auntie Donna's Big Old House of Fun,
Speaker 1: and that's a really it's it's a very mr show.
Speaker 1: It's very um, absurdist kind of Tim and Eric type
Speaker 1: comedy and a lot of big, big high budget sketches
Speaker 1: with like dance numbers and music and weird owls in
Speaker 1: an episode, and it's pretty great. Well I won't hold
Speaker 1: that against him, Okay, Um, yeah, that's that's that's that.
Speaker 1: Those are those are the two. But I've been kind
Speaker 1: of watching alrighty well, Noel, we're gonna wrap this one
Speaker 1: up and spanking on the bottom just about a half
Speaker 1: hour because I got Christmas wrapping to do. I put
Speaker 1: a thing on the old page about whether or not
Speaker 1: people are good gift rappers. Movie crushers are pretty good
Speaker 1: gift rappers know, I'm okay. I usually get my mom
Speaker 1: to do it for me, though. Yeah, yeah, I also
Speaker 1: can't tie a tie, and I get my mom to
Speaker 1: do that for me as well. Seriously, No, you can't.
Speaker 1: I know how to tie a tie, tack. I have
Speaker 1: to look at a YouTube video, you though. Okay, I don't.
