Speaker 1: my It's funny. I just talked to my buddy Matt
Speaker 1: in the hallway. He was a musician. Yeah, works over
Speaker 1: a mail chimp and uh. He said that Farrell Is
Speaker 1: that his name? Sure? From from nerd? Yeah, he said,
Speaker 1: Farrell records. It's told them most recording first thing. And
Speaker 1: he said Farrell records first thing in the morning because
Speaker 1: that is when the voices exist like deepest. And I'm
Speaker 1: also sick. So he was like, dude, you're you're about
Speaker 1: to rock the sex talk. You sound downright sultry, chuck.
Speaker 1: I'm getting the goose bumps. Yeah, I sound kind of gross.
Speaker 1: Actually I got sick at the tale. I got sick
Speaker 1: in Sydney, Australia. Are you are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Are we okay? Should I be shoot? You be quarantined?
Speaker 1: And I don't think so. I did wonder like if
Speaker 1: I got some weird Australian rhinovirus. Is that a thing? Well,
Speaker 1: rhino virus is just the common cold. Basically, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was some weird strain there that they
Speaker 1: can't fix. Here. You know, I'm hearing it. Knatchuck. You
Speaker 1: got a little nasal action going on. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit gross. It's all apologies. No, no, you don't
Speaker 1: want me to exhale deeply. I have the raspiest It
Speaker 1: feels like I'm uh should be in a sanatorium. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for you to exhale deeply. Oh that was a movie, Yep,
Speaker 1: this is a movie. Show nice ref how's it going, dude?
Speaker 1: So I am sick noll, you're down in the domes.
Speaker 1: I'm a little sick in the head. So this should
Speaker 1: be these next two episodes should be pretty great. Whoa. Uh?
Speaker 1: So I watched I would and saw Black Klansmen in Perth,
Speaker 1: Australia because I had I got there and I wanted
Speaker 1: to stay up and try and get myself on a
Speaker 1: regular sleeping schedule. Had that work out for you? So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I need to stimulate myself.
Speaker 1: It took a big walk, hung around, walked around Perth
Speaker 1: and then um cuddled some koalas well. I did that
Speaker 1: later on for sure. Uh. They just handing out koala
Speaker 1: when you get off the plane actually pretty great. And
Speaker 1: then when you when you go back, Yeah, I do uh.
Speaker 1: And then I went to uh the movies because I
Speaker 1: was like, that'll stimulate my mind, and I would and
Speaker 1: saw a Black Klansmen. You saw it, right, I have
Speaker 1: not seen it yet now now I didn't see. I've
Speaker 1: heard good things, though I have not been making good
Speaker 1: use of my failing movie pass. Oh the movie pass conversation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are we passed due for it? Is he still around? Now?
Speaker 1: It's still around. I think I haven't tried using it,
Speaker 1: but they keep sending me these spammy emails that clearly
Speaker 1: are like, please, don't forget about please, but don't go
Speaker 1: to movies either. You're right, yeah, because we can't afford it, right,
Speaker 1: we love you, but stay home for now. And then
Speaker 1: I'm doing them a solid because I haven't used it
Speaker 1: in a couple of months. Yeah, well you should. Maybe
Speaker 1: if you see Black Clansman, we can crush Yeah to
Speaker 1: judgment to judge it. Yeah, good movie. I totally dug it.
Speaker 1: But it was a little weird seeing in Perth because
Speaker 1: it's like there's so much shame at the end as
Speaker 1: an American, and I was walking out of the theater,
Speaker 1: and I was like, do they know do they know
Speaker 1: I'm American? Yeah, you can passes an Austie. I think,
Speaker 1: oh sure, why not AUSSI AUSSI. Yeah. As so I
Speaker 1: thought we would do a little segment called Movies on
Speaker 1: a Plane since I just spent it took ten plane
Speaker 1: flights in eleven days. People on this tour. It was
Speaker 1: a a mind to say the least. I did have
Speaker 1: two great days off, but the rest of it was
Speaker 1: a bit of a grind. And I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of movies. I bet you did. So I just figured
Speaker 1: i'd kind of go through these real quick and we
Speaker 1: just sort of rap about the ones that you've seen
Speaker 1: without doing full reviews. Hopefully, I I don't disappoint, but
Speaker 1: I've been watching some movies on planes myself lately, so
Speaker 1: maybe there's some overlap. All right, Well, I saw and
Speaker 1: shout out to Virgin Australia in Virgin Atlantic, Freddy, dude,
Speaker 1: they do it right to give you like Filet Mignon stuff. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just good. It's just the way you should fly
Speaker 1: overseas on a thirteen hour flight. Yeah, And that was
Speaker 1: just you know, I had to do Atlanta to l A,
Speaker 1: l A to Sydney, Sydney to Perth, because we just
Speaker 1: did it, asked backwards. When we got to Sydney, I
Speaker 1: was like, can we just start here? Do you have
Speaker 1: to get on one more plane? How how long is
Speaker 1: a flight from Sydney to Perth. I feel like it
Speaker 1: was about five hours. I mean it's it's like flying
Speaker 1: across like La New York. Yeah, I forget. I forget
Speaker 1: the size of country other than the United States because
Speaker 1: tunnel vision. Yeah, it's a it's a fucking continental. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. That's right. So I saw the Han Solo movie.
Speaker 1: Hated it. You know, I didn't hate it. I didn't
Speaker 1: like it. I'm somewhere in the middle, you know what.
Speaker 1: I'm overstas wanted to say that phrase in that voice.
Speaker 1: I was like utterly indifferent to it. It did nothing
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, I was kind of the biggest disappointment
Speaker 1: of all is to be just completely like, I don't
Speaker 1: really remember anything about it now that I'm talking to you, Like,
Speaker 1: I saw it right when it came out. My kid
Speaker 1: liked it because it was kind of a swashbuckling, you know,
Speaker 1: adventure flick sort of. But I just don't really remember
Speaker 1: when I know there was a heist and Woody Harrelson
Speaker 1: was in it, and yeah, just disappointing overall. The first
Speaker 1: sign of like, oh boy, they're really start like is
Speaker 1: this what we're in for? Were are like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: they've been bad Star Wars movies, but like, are we are?
Speaker 1: We just going to get these mediocre character movies one
Speaker 1: after the other every other year now? Well, I think
Speaker 1: it was such a flop that it made them kind
Speaker 1: of change their strategy. They put on the brakes, didn't they.
Speaker 1: I think they did a little bit on some of
Speaker 1: the other the other Origin movies. Yeah, I think, Um,
Speaker 1: I definitely think they took notice and they're like, okay,
Speaker 1: we can't just print money anymore with exactly, which is
Speaker 1: a good message to send, which is the fans deserved more.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't great. What's his name? Donald Glover was good.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed, like he did a good Lando calrisian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't even it very much. Yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it was just so mediocre. Yeah, I agree, all right, Tully?
Speaker 1: Did you see Tully? No? I it looked good though.
Speaker 1: Tully was very good. Not what I expected. I won't
Speaker 1: give away too much, um, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Charlie's their Own written by uh Diablo Cody, Diablo Cody
Speaker 1: and Jay and Rerightman directed their A Belief third outing
Speaker 1: together as writer and director Jason Reitman. Yeah, which one
Speaker 1: is he? He? He's Ivan Rerightman's son. He directed Up
Speaker 1: in the Air and Juno. That's right. Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah. I didn't realize he was related to Ivan. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's his kid. Ye. Your dad's a director, so you're
Speaker 1: going to be a director. My dad was an elementary
Speaker 1: school principal and so I'm a podcaster. My dad was
Speaker 1: an asshole and uh and I'm a podcaster. Uh, so
Speaker 1: recommend Talie. I saw All the Money in the World.
Speaker 1: Have you seen that? No? That was good man. That
Speaker 1: was the story. Ridley Scott directed it. That's the one
Speaker 1: where they they cut out Kevin Spacey, right, yeah, absolutely, yeah, which,
Speaker 1: now that I've seen it with Christopher Plumber plays uh
Speaker 1: John Paul Getty, the original John Paul Getty. I can't
Speaker 1: imagine Kevin Spacey in that role. That all, he's too young.
Speaker 1: First of all, they would have to age um up.
Speaker 1: It's just silly when you've got Christopher Plumb. Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: Do you think he was like on the on the
Speaker 1: short list already or they just kind of like had
Speaker 1: to like scram you know, I'm not sure. Weird that
Speaker 1: it made so much sense. Yeah, Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: good movie though. You know, it's the true story of
Speaker 1: the kidnapping of John Paul Getty, I think the third
Speaker 1: uh in the nineteen seventies. This is the Getty of
Speaker 1: like the Getty Museum and Getty images and all that
Speaker 1: get Getty, Getty, Getty, Getty, Getty, get Both those are
Speaker 1: Getty right. Whatever happened to him he was in Lost Highway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't feel too bad for me. It's a Getty
Speaker 1: fair enough, fair enough question. Do you did you? What
Speaker 1: was this? What was the scope of the reshoots? Have
Speaker 1: been like based on seeing the movie quite a bit really, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean he's in a lot of the movie for sure.
Speaker 1: I Mean I just can't imagine they would to get
Speaker 1: the continuity right and to get everyone back in place
Speaker 1: in all the sets and all everything. I mean, what
Speaker 1: a what a ship show? Yeah, and that's the one
Speaker 1: that at all the news because Marky Mark got paid
Speaker 1: a lot of money for reshoots and Michelle Williams did
Speaker 1: not at right, and everyone got mad, even sort of
Speaker 1: at Marky Mark, who by all accounts from what I've heard,
Speaker 1: is a pretty good guy. And he was like, I
Speaker 1: felt got it bad for him because it wasn't his fault.
Speaker 1: He didn't know. He wasn't like, you pay me a
Speaker 1: lot and don't pay her or anything. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it's like their managers handle all that ship, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: But when he he got so much grief, he donated
Speaker 1: his money, I believe to uh to some uh woman's organization.
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one, but which I think was
Speaker 1: a good move. But I'm glad that it brought, like,
Speaker 1: you know, shine to light on that shitty, shitty thing
Speaker 1: that they did. Because Michelle Williams is great. She's sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of the lead of the movie in
Speaker 1: a way. I laugh. I'd love to see it really good, good,
Speaker 1: highsty kidnapping sort of movie. I rewatched The Shining, which
Speaker 1: I gotta say, watching that with headphones on with no
Speaker 1: distractions on a plane in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: the seven thousand feet above the ocean is a great
Speaker 1: way to see the shining again for like the tenth time.
Speaker 1: Did you get the creeps? Yeah? And just I got
Speaker 1: to really hone in on it with like I said,
Speaker 1: no cell phones, no, no anything, just me and the
Speaker 1: shining in my ear holes. Very cool experience. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I watched the New Blade Owner movie on a plane
Speaker 1: and it was really cool hearing that with headphones. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That because the soundtrack is so ethereal and crazy and
Speaker 1: you've already seen it. I've seen in the theaters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but hearing it with headphones on really drew attention to
Speaker 1: some of the little details. Score yea, that were pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Headphones are the way to go man, always. I haven't
Speaker 1: done it a while, but my my new album from
Speaker 1: favorite band Ritual was always, lay down the floor with
Speaker 1: my headphones, turn off the lights, lock myself in a room,
Speaker 1: and give it. I call it the headphones listen. Best
Speaker 1: way to experience music in movies absolutely. Uh. Deadpool two
Speaker 1: finally saw that. Yeah, I enjoyed that. It was funny.
Speaker 1: It's fucking great. Are just really fun movies so funny?
Speaker 1: As rewatched Avengers the Infinity War because why not? And
Speaker 1: then I watched a few documentaries. I watched the Michael
Speaker 1: Caine documentary called My Generation that you would totally dig.
Speaker 1: And it's not Michael Caine is sort of the host
Speaker 1: of the documentary. It's not just about his life, but
Speaker 1: it's about London in the nineteen sixties late sixties and
Speaker 1: what a hip swinging place that was and told through
Speaker 1: his eyes about him and the Rolling Stones and Maryanne
Speaker 1: Faithful and Albert Finney and like just the actors and
Speaker 1: the writers and the artists and the musicians. Was it
Speaker 1: just like Austin Powers. Well, it was very Austin Powers.
Speaker 1: That was definitely that era, but highly recommend And you
Speaker 1: get to hear Michael Kaine, Michael Kaine, you know what,
Speaker 1: Oh my cocaine, cocaine. That's right. Hits your hands off,
Speaker 1: Mike Cocaine. He's so good man. Uh docu entry, Yeah, cool,
Speaker 1: it's called My Generation. It's good. Identical Strangers is about
Speaker 1: these three identical twins separated at birth, who meet, uh,
Speaker 1: when they are nineteen years old, These three boys, and
Speaker 1: so you basically can you imagine being nineteen years old
Speaker 1: out of high school and you meet another Knoll and
Speaker 1: then another Null. Yeah, identical triplets would be terrifying or
Speaker 1: maybe comforting. I don't know. I could use a buddy.
Speaker 1: It's a really interesting story and it goes different places
Speaker 1: that you don't expect. I have heard nothing but amazing
Speaker 1: things about it and it and it is a It
Speaker 1: sounded like pure fiction when I first heard it, but
Speaker 1: it is. It's very much a real thing that happened.
Speaker 1: It was a big deal with time too. I think
Speaker 1: it was the maybe early eighties when it happened, and
Speaker 1: they were just you know, they blew up there on
Speaker 1: every TV show and every magazine and I think I'd
Speaker 1: sort of remember that a little bit, uh when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, but very good identical strangers. And then finally, no,
Speaker 1: I watched the Mr. Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Speaker 1: And cried on a plane did a pull on them heartstrings?
Speaker 1: L geez, have you seen it? God? Damn so good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready. It's really really great,
Speaker 1: and it's it's so cool just to shine a light
Speaker 1: on that dude and the work that he did. And
Speaker 1: to top it off, uh, my buddy Scotty, who was
Speaker 1: just appeared for the Close Encounters edition. He did additional
Speaker 1: camera work on it. He did some of the interviews,
Speaker 1: so I got to see his name on the screen
Speaker 1: at the end. That's awesome, which is always great. Lay
Speaker 1: to go Scotty. So that is movies on a plane.
Speaker 1: That's what I watched everyone. I think there might you
Speaker 1: also watched a lot of Assy rules football because on
Speaker 1: the Virgin flights they have classic matches and I really
Speaker 1: got into that sport while I was over there because
Speaker 1: their playoffs, their finals are going on right now. Cool,
Speaker 1: it's really really fun. You were not really super into
Speaker 1: this soccer we're talking about, right, No, no no, no, Assi football?
Speaker 1: What is this? It is? It's sort of like a
Speaker 1: combination of rugby soccer and American football. It's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a crazy hybrid right there, it is, and it's if
Speaker 1: you're an American used to American football, it's a little
Speaker 1: hard to follow it first, but as a sports fan
Speaker 1: just intuitively, if you start watching it, you're like, all right,
Speaker 1: I sort of get the rules and it's great, what
Speaker 1: what a wonderful sport, and I'm gonna continue to watch
Speaker 1: here in America online? What's your outlet for it? Here? Online? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Of course, you can watch anything online. You can watch
Speaker 1: anything online. So moving on to trope time, We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep the tropes going, everybody, because on the movie Crushers page,
Speaker 1: you are bringing it and uh, they are like cheez,
Speaker 1: three seventy eight tropes here, So we'll we'll mention ten
Speaker 1: or fifteen of them. Uh. Aunt Rebecca, I love that
Speaker 1: that's somebody's name on face book. When do you say
Speaker 1: aunt or aunt? I say aunt? See I say aunt.
Speaker 1: But everyone laughs at that. Now you know what now
Speaker 1: that I'm staying, Now that I was saying it out loud,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what I say. I don't have occasion
Speaker 1: to say it very often. Do you don't have aunts?
Speaker 1: I do? But I just call her Betsy Aunt. I
Speaker 1: say Aunt Betsy Betsy. Yeah, I wouldn't say that sounds
Speaker 1: very hoity toity, it does, right, Yeah, agree, I don't
Speaker 1: know why I said I said that. So this is
Speaker 1: Aunt Rebecca when it's time for spontaneous romance and the
Speaker 1: lovers move into a bedroom filled with lit candles, not bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that scene in the room. Oh yeah sure, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's the troopiest embodiment of that trope that
Speaker 1: ever could be. Because the thing that because Tommy y
Speaker 1: so is Mr Trope and he you know, that whole
Speaker 1: movie is full of like, you know, cliche and that
Speaker 1: is like one of the big ones. Yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: he knew how to do. There's also rose petals, I
Speaker 1: believe in that scene raked in rose Petals, which has
Speaker 1: literally never happened. Who do that? Or if you're moving
Speaker 1: into bedroom for sexy time, you don't certainly don't stop
Speaker 1: to light candles. I mean maybe if you're like preparing
Speaker 1: for like an anniversary romantic evening, you have the house
Speaker 1: filled with candles or something, but still it just seems
Speaker 1: like a fire hazard. Yeah. And also a sure way
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't have sexy time is to
Speaker 1: pre light the candles, because then you'll get in a fight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you're getting a fight. You're like, well, shut au
Speaker 1: lit all these candles. Now we're in a fight. Now
Speaker 1: we gotta blow them all out. Dave Taylor says, ditching
Speaker 1: school or work and you get your picture on the
Speaker 1: paper or TV. What. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the modern equivalent is like ditching
Speaker 1: school or work and you end up posting something dumb
Speaker 1: on Facebook and let it set. Let's let's everybody know
Speaker 1: that you get busted. You had to get busted. Doller.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I can't think of an example. People should
Speaker 1: give examples with these, the less obvious ones. I would
Speaker 1: love to hear some examples. But I did see somebody
Speaker 1: say on the Facebook page and does anybody else ever
Speaker 1: shake their fist at the podcast device when Chuck and
Speaker 1: Nold are not aware of it? And then I totally
Speaker 1: am um, this, maybe this is one, so right in
Speaker 1: let us know. Hopefully people are shaking their fists at
Speaker 1: us right now. Uh. Joe bomb Gardner says the bathrobe
Speaker 1: over pajamas trope. If you need a midnight snack, or
Speaker 1: here's something go bump in the night, or need to
Speaker 1: let in the cat, you must put on a bathroom
Speaker 1: over your matching button down pajamas. That's funny. That seems superfluous.
Speaker 1: It's like the you know one or the other bathrobes
Speaker 1: go over the nude form. Yeah, I don't wear a bathrobe.
Speaker 1: Do you mean I'm at a at a hotel if
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pamper myself, maybe do you wear those?
Speaker 1: I get grossed out by those because I don't want
Speaker 1: my my junk touching the terry cloth of another man's joe.
Speaker 1: You don't think they have been laundered properly? I don't know. Trusting, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean, but if you feel that way, then
Speaker 1: why do you do You even sleep in the bed?
Speaker 1: Do you just stand up all night? What do you
Speaker 1: I sleep? Yeah? I stand up all night. It's pretty cool. Um, No,
Speaker 1: I do, But I do. I do. The first thing
Speaker 1: I do is I take off that top, uh not sheet,
Speaker 1: but whatever the top quilt is. Do they yeah, because
Speaker 1: I think they're I don't think they watched those I
Speaker 1: think so. No, and hotels are disgrossed me. And you
Speaker 1: ever seen the specials where they're taking their sperm everywhere,
Speaker 1: everywhere everywhere? You know, you know where the most sperm is?
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus on the remok Oh god, no wonder, I'm sick.
Speaker 1: You know that line in Love shack glitter on the mattress,
Speaker 1: glitter on the su Yeah, you know they're referring to
Speaker 1: semen totally glitter. Are you sure about that? Why glitter?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because it's it's a little shiny, like
Speaker 1: like the two day old snail trail shining exactly. Oh god,
Speaker 1: where are we going old glitter everywhere? Man? Glitter on
Speaker 1: the highway, never gonna be the same for you ever again?
Speaker 1: Isn't No, it's not You've ruined it for me. It
Speaker 1: might not be true. I heard somebody saying, all right,
Speaker 1: Joel Coleman says, ragtag bunch of friends. The smart one,
Speaker 1: the chubby one, the rebellious one, the beautiful one. Sure
Speaker 1: I'm the smart, chubby, rebellious one. Well, I guess that
Speaker 1: means I'm the beautiful one. I guess so about that.
Speaker 1: That's that. That's the thing that chucked between the two
Speaker 1: of us. We encompass a whole rag tag crew. That's right.
Speaker 1: We are ready for adventures, my friends. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Sarah McNitt, I love that name, says, I'm pretty sure,
Speaker 1: that pretty sure that no high school dance I went
Speaker 1: to ever had punch. But every high school dance in
Speaker 1: every movie has a big bowl of punch to spike.
Speaker 1: No way. I've been to punch punch parties. Have you
Speaker 1: been to punch party? Yeah? Punch dances, yes, and a
Speaker 1: lot of and and you know what I remember, and
Speaker 1: very fondly, is they would have a big, old floating
Speaker 1: hunk of orange sherbet in them. Oh delicious, And it
Speaker 1: was a soda based punch, so it was a little fizzy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know what Emily does is she makes a fuzzy
Speaker 1: naval punch for events. That's uh, I think it's orange
Speaker 1: juice and peach snops. And then she she makes these.
Speaker 1: She gets a butt cake ring pan and she cuts
Speaker 1: orange slices. Everybody, this is like serious Martha Stewart advice. Here.
Speaker 1: She gets like a bunt cake pan and then puts
Speaker 1: water in it and puts in little orange slices. That
Speaker 1: freezes into a delightful frozen o ring full of oranges,
Speaker 1: and she puts that to cool down the punch and
Speaker 1: it floats much like your sherbet does. Very very tasty.
Speaker 1: I bet the ladies love it. Have to invite me
Speaker 1: to one of these soires one day, Chuck, I will
Speaker 1: you know what? You're on the Christmas party list just
Speaker 1: like that, sweet, although I don't know for everyone this
Speaker 1: year because we're moving out of our us next week
Speaker 1: to renovate it, so we will literally have Christmas in
Speaker 1: a rental home this year. Maybe I have a party there.
Speaker 1: You should trash the place. Mark phonum Or fox num,
Speaker 1: but I bet it's Phonem says, gun goes off. Everyone
Speaker 1: is fine, but wait, someone looks down and a spot
Speaker 1: of blood slowly starts growing. Of course, of course, how
Speaker 1: do you know you're not shot? That's the thing. It's
Speaker 1: always like the realization that I'm shot, whereas in real
Speaker 1: reality you'd be like, fun, shot, I'm shot. Well, do
Speaker 1: you think it might be like a like a like
Speaker 1: a shock kind of thing, maybe you know, maybe you know?
Speaker 1: Or like did that just get pinched? Exactly? I wonder
Speaker 1: what getting shot feels like. It Probably it feels worse
Speaker 1: than getting pinched. I'm really curious. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get shot. But I've always been one of those people
Speaker 1: that wanted the experience of something, even if it wasn't pleasant.
Speaker 1: You want to know what it's like. Do you want
Speaker 1: to taste each other? You know? When I was younger,
Speaker 1: I might have done something stupid like that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would do ship like that. Like there was I remember
Speaker 1: one time that it wasn't a BB gun and it
Speaker 1: was some sort of a gun that shot something pretty hard,
Speaker 1: and everyone was shooting it and wondering how bad it hurt,
Speaker 1: And so I said, shoot me and I lifted up
Speaker 1: my shirt and someone shot me with it, and it hurt.
Speaker 1: But I knew then, you know. I like having that
Speaker 1: first person, that visceral knowledge. It's important, Chuck, it is,
Speaker 1: It's important for growing as a as a person. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let me see here, Mohammed uh Man. Everyone has much
Speaker 1: better names than we do. Mohammed Day. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if this has been shared yet, but any time a
Speaker 1: gang of bad guys that texts the hero, they always
Speaker 1: fight him, one or two at a time. You have
Speaker 1: the numbers, guys, you should gang rush to the hero. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is for sure. They just sort of stand around.
Speaker 1: I feel like this has come up. It probably has,
Speaker 1: but it's good worth mentioning. It's accurate. You know what,
Speaker 1: if we repeat these, it just means that they're they
Speaker 1: fit the bill. That's right, all right, let's do one
Speaker 1: more here. James Nordstrom says diving helmets and space helmets
Speaker 1: must have interior lighting whose only apparent function is to
Speaker 1: eliminate the face of the user. Sure, because it's a
Speaker 1: movie and you gotta see the face, you know. I
Speaker 1: really like the shot from inside the helmet. Oh the Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's got a point. Like in real life, I
Speaker 1: r L. I doubt if they have a light like
Speaker 1: shining in your face inside the helmet. Yeah, that would
Speaker 1: be pleasant, would be pleasant. If anything, it would be
Speaker 1: like a head like a worklight, like one of those
Speaker 1: little head headband things you put on, you know when
Speaker 1: you're like yeah, like a headlamp, head lamp. Yeah. All right, everyone,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish up with stream this and comment card.
Speaker 1: I have been watching Ozark season two. Did you watch
Speaker 1: any of that season one? I didn't finish season one
Speaker 1: and I lost me um, Like yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: didn't think it was bad. Sometimes I just sometimes it
Speaker 1: just like guy drift, I get it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Weigh in on the show. It shot right here in
Speaker 1: Atlanta at Lake Altoona. Have a few friends at work
Speaker 1: on it on the crew there. And uh, apparently Bateman
Speaker 1: is a great guy. My friend works in props and
Speaker 1: and Bateman is he's done the show runner, but he
Speaker 1: directs a bunch of episodes and it's sort of his
Speaker 1: his gig. And he said Bateman is just the ship.
Speaker 1: He said, he's super cool and like if something needs doing,
Speaker 1: he does it. He doesn't sit around and say I
Speaker 1: need someone to come in and and move that painting,
Speaker 1: like he'll just go do it. That's awesome, And it
Speaker 1: sounds like not a big deal, But when you work
Speaker 1: on movie sets and film sets and a director does
Speaker 1: things like that, it sends a big message to the crew.
Speaker 1: That's just like, I'm just here to get the work done.
Speaker 1: And it's a good message for sure. So uh, it's
Speaker 1: the same with podcasting, Chuck, Is that right? You just
Speaker 1: get the work done. Get the work done, that's right.
Speaker 1: Although I will just sit here and wait for you
Speaker 1: to pull the microphone over to my mouth. That's true,
Speaker 1: which is our ritual. Yes, and then and then that
Speaker 1: our our ritual back massage. And then I and I
Speaker 1: take the water bottle and hold it up to you
Speaker 1: so you can like suck a little bit and then
Speaker 1: switch it around and then I pop to spit it
Speaker 1: into noll. I need an espresso sip. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a trope as well. The boxing uh coach who takes
Speaker 1: the water bottle. It's like it's a trope because it
Speaker 1: happens in real boxing. Probably Yeah, yeah, I would say
Speaker 1: that's the witch a trope. Is a depiction of real
Speaker 1: life boxing. But also it's like, I guess it's because
Speaker 1: they're wearing gloves so they can't they hold the bottle.
Speaker 1: They can't hold the bottle, so it's not so much
Speaker 1: a babying thing as it is just a functional thing.
Speaker 1: You're probably right, I take it back, but yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: into Ozark. Man. I think it's good. I think it's
Speaker 1: a it's not quite breaking bad good, but it's basically
Speaker 1: the same show when you look at it at it's
Speaker 1: at a macro point of view. Do you think that's
Speaker 1: how they pitched it. They're like, it's bringing bad Ozarks, Yeah,
Speaker 1: with money instead of crank. Yeah. I'm sure that the
Speaker 1: words breaking bad were used in a pitch meeting at
Speaker 1: some point. But it has that feel, you know, regular
Speaker 1: family who caught up like way over their heads with
Speaker 1: bad guys and getting into trouble and desperate to do something.
Speaker 1: And uh, I just dig it, so blaze through like
Speaker 1: I think the first four episodes of season two and
Speaker 1: uh it's got me, man, I just dig it. A
Speaker 1: Love Bateman, Laura, Lenny's awesome, just great, great cast. Opted
Speaker 1: I'll revisit it. Yeah, I want to get I'm dying
Speaker 1: to get Laura Lenny in here. Man. She's just the best,
Speaker 1: big fan of hers and she's close by. Why don't
Speaker 1: people know we were surrounded by movie stars in this
Speaker 1: town now and none of them. They should be flocking.
Speaker 1: They should be flocking. The kiddy is running dry, everybody.
Speaker 1: We have no guests on the horizon, so who knows? No,
Speaker 1: we we need to record. What's your movie going to be?
Speaker 1: Oh god, I can't say it here, all right, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even know. We'll stay tuned because that's that's coming, buddy,
Speaker 1: all right. In comment card, let's finish up with some
Speaker 1: questions from you guys to us guys. Uh. Eric Keith says,
Speaker 1: do you applaud at the end of a movie in
Speaker 1: a theater? I personally get annoyed by it. Most likely
Speaker 1: there's no one in the theater involved in the making
Speaker 1: of the film, So who are you applauding for? Well, Eric,
Speaker 1: first of all, I think you're missing the point a
Speaker 1: little bit there. Of course, you're not applauding the people
Speaker 1: that you think are actually in the theater. You're applauding
Speaker 1: the work of the artist. But I will say that, uh,
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen much. But I have been to a
Speaker 1: few movies over the years where they are very very
Speaker 1: special movies, anticipated wonderful works of art that sort of
Speaker 1: are more important, maybe where people have clapped a little bit,
Speaker 1: and I don't think I did, but it didn't bug me.
Speaker 1: I think it kind of made me feel good. What
Speaker 1: about you. You ever been in a theater where people play, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you kind of like go with the room and if
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I'll tell you what happens too
Speaker 1: is or when I definitely remember it happening was the
Speaker 1: first big Star Wars reboot, Forced Awakens, you know. Seeing
Speaker 1: that on opening now, I think, yeah, the room full
Speaker 1: of Star Wars geeks, you know that's that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: because people are just jazzed and it's and then that
Speaker 1: music comes on, you know, just like everyone people at
Speaker 1: the beginning, they did clap at the beginning that fucking
Speaker 1: scroll starts. People are like, yeah, like I have a
Speaker 1: good time, enjoy yourself, go into the movies. That's why
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, don't be experience with someone else, don't
Speaker 1: be an asshole, don't be annoying. Come on, guy, oh
Speaker 1: he's not an asshole. I'm just kidding. Tracy Fox is, uh,
Speaker 1: what's your guilty pleasure movie? Well that you hate to love?
Speaker 1: Remember you used to ask that to guess and then
Speaker 1: they always were confused. That's bewildered to buy it. Some
Speaker 1: people hate that whole segment. They're just like, stop asking
Speaker 1: questions like that. Get your own show. They do that,
Speaker 1: they say that to you. Yeah, people have said I
Speaker 1: don't even like that segment. I don't even do that anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh you mean like listeners. Yeah, that's right. I thought
Speaker 1: you meant like the the guests are like, are you
Speaker 1: asking me questions? Like? That's what that's the arrangement here,
Speaker 1: I can I can show them the door. No, that's
Speaker 1: all that would work. I can see it themselves. It's
Speaker 1: right there. So Tracy Fox says, guilty pleasure movie. I
Speaker 1: don't geez. I've got so many of those. I can
Speaker 1: watch some kind of dumb movies a lot, like, uh,
Speaker 1: what's that dinner for schmucks? Oh yeah, that was fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would say that's a guilty pleasure. That's not
Speaker 1: some great movie. I think I remember most about that.
Speaker 1: Isn't there a guy with like a vulture or a
Speaker 1: Falcon or something. I just remember that, and I remember
Speaker 1: Zack Alfanakis is like a weird magician or someth That's
Speaker 1: what I remember. So I'm gonna say this one. Do
Speaker 1: you have one that you can speak to? I don't know,
Speaker 1: because I mean, it would I guess it would maybe
Speaker 1: be something like The Room, you know, but but I
Speaker 1: don't even really like the Room. I think it's so
Speaker 1: terrible I can't even call it that. But it would
Speaker 1: be something I don't know, like Manos, the Hands of Fate,
Speaker 1: like a mystery science theater thing. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard. That's a tough one. I
Speaker 1: have a hard time with that. Because the pleasure is
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Why they don't need to be no reason
Speaker 1: to feel guilty about it? Yeah, I agreed. John Taylor
Speaker 1: Wesley says, what is one movie making magic fact that
Speaker 1: you wish you didn't know? For example, sometimes I wish
Speaker 1: I'd never learned the actors often have to redub their
Speaker 1: lines in the studio and post production. When I think
Speaker 1: about that, it instantly takes me out of the movie.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm trying to think of one that has
Speaker 1: sort of ruined things for me. I kind of like
Speaker 1: the process though, So even when I know about the
Speaker 1: little movie making trick, I don't mind. It's all you
Speaker 1: it ruined it for me. It didn't ruin it. It
Speaker 1: did for a little bit, but just the fact that
Speaker 1: they take scenes so many times, and that they're like
Speaker 1: literally like these tiny, modular, a little little moments that
Speaker 1: are than assembled together into this illusion of a continuous,
Speaker 1: real exchange. But they'll literally re shoot one line over
Speaker 1: and over and over again from different angles. And like
Speaker 1: I was a p A on a pretty small indie
Speaker 1: in l A years and years ago, and it was
Speaker 1: like a one camera thing. So they would shoot more, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot,
Speaker 1: move the camera, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot shot,
Speaker 1: and it just I was just like, I want to die.
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to watch the movie again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's one that people you don't want to think about
Speaker 1: because it will ruin things for you. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you a lot of times when uh they call
Speaker 1: it a one shot, Like if you and I are
Speaker 1: having a conversation across from a table from each other,
Speaker 1: they will do what you call over the shoulders of
Speaker 1: each of us. In other words, the camera is over
Speaker 1: my shoulder, looking at your face when you're talking, then
Speaker 1: over your shoulder, looking at my face when I'm talking.
Speaker 1: That's how they cut together, you know, scene with two
Speaker 1: people talking. Uh, And a lot of times the other
Speaker 1: actor isn't even there. Sometimes you all say, I think, well,
Speaker 1: there's just two people sitting down at a table talking.
Speaker 1: That's not always the case. Sometimes the actor isn't there
Speaker 1: and they will just do one side of the coverage only,
Speaker 1: and you were the actor and you're sitting there talking
Speaker 1: to Sometimes someone on set, like a p A will
Speaker 1: just run the lines. Sometimes there's sucking nobody there, and
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty easy to pick up on. Actually
Speaker 1: is when they do that reverse over the shoulder and
Speaker 1: the actor who's back is facing the camera he's talking,
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear a lot of times that what they're
Speaker 1: saying they're not actually saying, because just the way they
Speaker 1: hold their head or like the movie, you can just
Speaker 1: tell they're not actually saying anything, that it was that
Speaker 1: it was dubbed, or that it was from previous take
Speaker 1: or something like that. If you would hone in on that, yes,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty clear one. Yeah. Or and that's a
Speaker 1: trick too, is they'll be like, ship man, we need
Speaker 1: a line here because something's unclear. Do we have a
Speaker 1: shot of their back, so you can just throw a
Speaker 1: shot of their back and then throw in that line
Speaker 1: to like explain something that needed clarity. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: was actually listening to comedy Bang Bang and um Scott
Speaker 1: Ackerman was talking about he worked on some animated and
Speaker 1: he punched up some script or some animated movie and
Speaker 1: how they love um throwing in extra jokes to punch
Speaker 1: up the script where it's a reverse shot of any creature,
Speaker 1: any interesting that we'll use that as an opportunity to
Speaker 1: throw in some dumb joke. Good stuff, man, Scott Ackerman,
Speaker 1: hero to the podcasting world, no doubt. All right, let's
Speaker 1: do one more here. Caleb Wyant says, what was the
Speaker 1: last movie you watched where you knew you loved it
Speaker 1: within the first half hour or so? Mine was probably
Speaker 1: What we Do in the Shadows? Have you seen what
Speaker 1: we do in the Shadows? It's great, hilarious. God, I
Speaker 1: could watch that movie a million times and that gets
Speaker 1: sick of it so funny, Uh, Caleb Wyant, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because usually, like I mean, within the first half hour,
Speaker 1: that's the first act, Like, if you don't know by then,
Speaker 1: I would say the better question, Caleb, not to man explain,
Speaker 1: this would be if you knew in the first like
Speaker 1: five minutes. You know, I really love the New Blade
Speaker 1: Runner within the first five minutes, Like, I just like
Speaker 1: the whole vibe of it, the whole sound of it,
Speaker 1: the look. Like I would not give a movie half
Speaker 1: like after thirty minutes if I'm not liking it, I'm
Speaker 1: turning it off. Yeah, because that's the first of four, right,
Speaker 1: that's like the first quarter basically of the movie. Ye,
Speaker 1: first third at least, So yeah, i'd be out of there.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't leave the theater. But again, i'd be a
Speaker 1: waste of money, alright, Caleb, good question though, good questions, everybody.
Speaker 1: Thanks for chiming in. Shout out this week to a
Speaker 1: few faive movie crushers who have been handling the movie
Speaker 1: Crushers Facebook page. Jill Hurley is always locking it down,
