1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Dear listeners of Hollywood Land, does it feel like you're 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: stuck in limbo? Standing under a flickering street light at 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: the corner of Hollywood and True Crime, waiting for the 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: next episode of hollywood Land to drop. I got you. 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to Hollywood Land, the Rap Party. What has happened 6 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: in my movie geeks, my true crime freaks just like me? 7 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: You guys, like your movie history served up with a 8 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: side of grit and grime. This, of course, is the 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: place where we dig up the stories often lost to history, 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: buried in the corner of the cutting room floor, the 11 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: stories they didn't want told, the very sane ones that 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: have now made you the most dangerous person at the party. 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm Zeth Lundy, writer showrunner, here at Double Elvison today 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: in the hollywood Land Rap Party. We are talking about 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: jokers and other villains. We're talking about the Bone Temple 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: and Miller's Crossing, about this week's full episode subject of 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: Hollywood Land, Heath Ledger, and also looking forward to next 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: week's subject, al Pacino. We're talking about movies that changed 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: you forever, which means we're going to get into your voicemails, 20 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: your texts, dms, and emails. So come on, everybody, let's party. 21 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: Do you know what fictional character has been portrayed by 22 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: the highest number of actors in movie history? I'll give 23 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: you a hint. The answer, my dear boy, is elementary. Yes, 24 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: that fictional character is Sherlock Holmes. The Guinness World Records 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: cements the detective in this spot with more than seventy 26 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: different actors playing him across more than two hundred films. Now, 27 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: I know this about Sherlock Holmes, good guy, he's the hero, right, 28 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: But what about villains? What fictional villain has been portrayed 29 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: by the highest number of actors in movie history? Okay, 30 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: according again to Guinness, that would be the Devil, which, 31 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: as we know, can come in many forms. And one 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: of those forms, if I can make the argument, is Dracula, 33 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: who perhaps is more an agent of the Devil than 34 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: the Devil incarnate. But however you slice it, or in 35 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Dracula's case, however you bite it, the character of Dracula, 36 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: in some form or another, is one of the most 37 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: repeated villains in cinema history, as far back as nineteen 38 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: twenty two, when Max Shrek starred in F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu, 39 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: and as recently as twenty twenty four, when Bill Scarsgard 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: played that same character in Robert Egger's incredible reimagining of 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: that same story. I was doing this research today for 42 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: this rap Party episode because as I think about Heath Ledger, 43 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: and I think about his iconic performance as the Joker, 44 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: and I think about how long the character of the 45 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: Joker has been in media, in comics and entertainment in movies, 46 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, surely the Joker must be among 47 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: the most portrayed villains in movie history. And I guess 48 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: the answer depends on who or what you consider to 49 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: be a villain. But I think maybe what I was 50 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: on about here was more about the experience of a 51 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: villain like the Joker, both for the performer and for 52 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: the audience, and how that makes the Joker not only 53 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: one of the most repeatable bad guys in movies, but 54 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: one that actors longed to play and that we long 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: to watch. Dracula Nosferatu. You know, when you come down 56 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: to it, the guy's kind of a one note symphony, right, 57 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Dude is horny. If Dracula had a theme song would 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: be I Want Your Sex? Can you imagine if you 59 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: if you try and travel back to the early eighteen 60 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: hundreds with a Walkman and a cassette single, a CA single, 61 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: Thank you very much of George Michaels. I want your sex. 62 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, you track down old Count Warlock and you 63 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: play that song. For My professional advice, as your legal counsel, 64 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: by the way, would be to not do that. Okay, 65 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: do not go teasing the Prince of Darkness, even if 66 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: the song is a total jam. But seriously, though, I 67 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: think the appeal of a villain like the Joker is 68 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: the fun that can be had with that character. In 69 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: his review of Tim Burton's nineteen eighty nine Batman film, 70 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: the late great critic Roger Ebert wrote of how you 71 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: had to keep reminding yourself to root for the good 72 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: guy for Michael Keaton's Batman, because Jack Nicholson as the joker. 73 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: He was the magnetic one, he was the party man. 74 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: He was the one saying, gentlemen, let's broaden our minds, Lawrence, 75 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: and he was the one dancing to Prince. Batman didn't dance. 76 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: He didn't dance at all. Batman was stiff, literally in 77 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: this stiff bodysuit. Never smiling, just a real Debbie downer 78 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: of a dude, you know. And you can call the 79 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: Joker's sense of fun chaos, you can call it a 80 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: corrupted antithesis to the moral order of the day. But 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: he's so damn fun to watch, and every moment he's 82 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: not on screen, you're missing him. You can disagree, but 83 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: I think you're just kidding yourself. Enjoying the Joker allows 84 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: us to indulge in a dark side of ourselves that 85 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: we perhaps deny on a regular basis. This is why 86 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: we go to the movies. I'd argue that the appeal 87 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: of Tim Burton's Batman movie and also of Christopher Nolan's 88 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: The Dark Knight, is not to watch good triumph over evil. 89 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: It's to watch the bad guy have a lot of 90 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: fun being a pain in the ass to the good guy. 91 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: And yeah, you know that the good guy is going 92 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: to get him in the end, but not before you're 93 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: entertained for two hours or so with the villain's antics. 94 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: This dynamic has been a part of the Batman Joker 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: on screen relationship ever since the classic TV show from 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: the sixties with Adam West as Batman and Caesar Romero 97 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: as the Joker, Adam West also super super serious, and 98 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Caesar Romero a total goof Romero, of course, lacked the 99 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: menace that Jack Nicholson later brought to the role and 100 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: then which Heath Ledger really ramped up with his performance. 101 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: But even with Heath Ledger, the thrill of watching him 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: the dark he is still there, you know, whether it's 103 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: the magic trick with the pencil scene or the blowing 104 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: up the hospital with a shoddy detonator scene. Like Heath 105 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: Ledger is having so much fun in those moments, The 106 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: Joker is having so much fun. Incredibly dark as they are, 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: you know, people are dying in horrific ways, but again 108 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: here we are actor and audience indulging in this dark side. 109 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: Tom Hillston, the actor who played the god of Mischief 110 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: Loki in the Marvel movies, once said about Tim Burton's 111 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: Batman and Jack Nicholson's performance as the Joker, quote, Truthfully, 112 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I would have played Loki without that film. 113 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: I understood that he was the villain, but he was 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: having such a good time and was so charismatic, so inventive, 115 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: and so free. Unquote. We've had other major actors take 116 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: on the Joker role over the years, most notably Jared 117 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: Leto in Suicide Squad and then Joaquin Phoenix and Todd 118 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Phillips two Joker movies. Jared Leto doesn't work for me 119 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: because he's just he's trying too hard. He's trying too 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: hard to sh show that he's having a good time 121 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: being crazy, and it just shows, and honestly, it kind 122 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: of takes the fun out of it. As a viewer 123 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: for me. It's like you're watching how it's done rather 124 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: than just watching it be done, if that makes sense. 125 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: And then Joaquin, I mean, his first Joker movie is 126 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: an entirely different beast than what came before. It's kind 127 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: of like Apple's and Oranges. Here, it's like if we 128 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: took the guy who becomes the Joker before, he's the Joker, 129 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: capital T, capital J and we pluck him into Martin 130 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: Scorsese's King of Comedy and see what happens. But as 131 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: incredible as Joaquin was in that film, here's what I'd 132 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: like about Heath Ledger's Joker even more. There's no backstory. 133 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: We get a little bit of Jack Nicholson's jokers backstory. 134 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we get the story of his physical transformation, 135 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: and we also get Joaquin's Joker's backstory as well, the 136 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: pain and the trauma there. But with Heath in the 137 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Dark Knight, there is no backstory. From the first scene, 138 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: we are just in the Joker's world. There's no explanation 139 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: for why he is or who he is. He's just 140 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: this agent of chaos, hell bent on knocking the world 141 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: off its axis. And sure we get the whole Do 142 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: you want to know how I got these scars? Spiel? 143 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: But it's all bullshit, It's all part of the joke. 144 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: It's part of what makes the Joker laugh. Then, honestly, 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: it's what makes the Heath Ledger Joker the most compelling 146 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: because we don't know, we can't know, and not knowing 147 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: makes him infinitely more fascinating. We do know that we're 148 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: going to get more iterations on the Joker. One of 149 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: cinema's greatest villains in Matt Reeves The Batman from twenty 150 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: twenty two with Robert Pattinson as Batman, which sidebar highly underrated. 151 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Highly highly underrated, definitely worth checking that out if you 152 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: have not seen that. They teased out Barry Kioegan as 153 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: the Joker and There's a new Matt Reeves Batman film 154 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: in production right now, so I guess time will tell 155 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: as to whether or not we're getting Barry Kiogan in 156 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: that role for real or not. I did see a 157 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: recent GQ article that lobbied for Jack O'Connell to play 158 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: the next Joker. Jack O'Connell is this incredible English actor 159 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: who has been arguably the greatest villain of the last 160 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: year or so. If you saw Sinners, he played Remick 161 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: the vampire, plucking out those sweet Irish tunes, and then 162 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: he was also just played one of the greatest Vielins 163 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: I've seen in a long time, Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, 164 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: in both twenty eight Years Later and its new sequel, 165 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,599 Speaker 1: The Bone Temple, which I'll be talking about later in 166 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: the recommendation section here. This hadn't crossed my mind to 167 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: have Jack O'Connell be the Joker, but it's a great 168 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: call by that GQ writer, although I would argue, isn't 169 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal just the Joker in a different form. 170 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: Just he's an evil force that is sowing chaos in 171 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: a world that is desperately seeking order. More on that 172 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: in a bit, But if you want more Dark Knight talk, 173 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: more Heath Ledger talk, more Christopher Nolan talk. Coming this 174 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: Friday here in your Hollywood Land feed. In an episode 175 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: of The Screening Room, I'm going to be talking at 176 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: length about the two thousand and eight film The Dark Knight, 177 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: so please check that out and then coming at you 178 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: next week on Monday, hour fully scripted and sound design 179 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: episode from the archive on al Pacino. This is a 180 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: little own story about pre famed Pacino back when he 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: was trying to get his life in order, trying to 182 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: avoid going down the rom path with the wrong people, 183 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: but being tempted, nonetheless to go down that rom path, 184 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: and how his next level acting chops may have actually 185 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: helped him from doing time. You can hear all about 186 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: that on Monday. And since we will finally be in February, 187 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: on Monday, we're starting Awards season month here at the show, 188 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: so we've got episodes coming for you soon on Jane 189 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: Fonda and Sean Penn, to name a few, but for 190 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: this Al Pacino episode. Pacino was nominated in nineteen seventy 191 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: six for Best Actor for his performance in Dog Day Afternoon, 192 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: but he lost out to Jack Nicholson for one flew 193 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: over the Cougo's Nest. Damn, that is a tough call. 194 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: Who was better Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon or Jack 195 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: in Cougu's Nest might depend on the day for me, 196 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: But anyway, for our question of the Week next week, 197 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: I want to know what actor or actress or director 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: or whoever who was raw the Oscars who should have 199 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: won but didn't in your eyes?

We're going 208 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: to get into your answers right after this quick break, 209 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: So hang tight, what's up, everybody? We are back here 210 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: in the wrap party. We're getting into the part of 211 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: the show where I hear from all of you just 212 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: talking about what we've been talking about. Talking about so 213 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: much stuff here, so much hollywood and true crime. But 214 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: what we were really getting into, or what I wanted 215 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: to get into this week with you guys with the 216 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: Heath Ledger episode, is what film changed you? What you know? 217 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: What movie did you go into as one person and 218 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: emerge from somebody else? And on that tip, we've got 219 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: a voicemail here from the three three four that gets 220 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: into that, but also gets into something else we were talking 221 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: about as well. It's a two for all right, Matt, 222 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: play that voicemail from the three three four. 223 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, guys. It's Mahley Harriet code through three four 224 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: out of the five O five calling to respond to 225 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: two separate questions from Hollywood land Life imitating art check 226 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 2: out Johnny Lewis from Sons of Anarchy. Not exactly what 227 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 2: was going on in the show, but what went on 228 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: in that guy's real life is quite insane and kind 229 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: of coincides with what went on in that that show. 230 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: Second one movie that changed my person effective on live immediately, 231 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: It didn't take any time. Seven Pounds with Will Smith. 232 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: If you haven't seen that movie, it's a confusing journey 233 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 2: that it takes you on, but once the hit hits, 234 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 2: it hits you hard. So take a look at that. 235 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it already, it should change your 236 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 2: perspective on a lot of things. Take it easy, you guys. 237 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: Want to compliment you guys also for putting together these 238 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 2: episodes the way that you do. They're incredible. I love 239 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: the way that you deliver the information, the stories. Keep 240 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,599 Speaker 2: it up, man, keep it up, ROCKNROLLA. 241 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: Thanks Mahali, appreciate that. Thanks very much for the kind words. 242 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: It means a lot, honestly, and I know I speak 243 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: for everyone here at the shows. I appreciate you. This 244 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: was great. This is a very eye opening. I did 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: not know about either of these things. I of course 246 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: I watched Sons of Anarchy back in the day when 247 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: it was on. I got pretty addicted to that show. 248 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: Johnny Lewis who you mentioned, and he played half Sack, 249 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: who was like a prospect of the gang, like a 250 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: rookie trainee. I don't know. I don't know much about 251 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the ins and outs and the what have yous of 252 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: motorcycle culture. Unfortunately, I know just what I researched for 253 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: various episodes. But he was a prospect. And just looking 254 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: at this story about Johnny Lewis, you mentioned life imitating 255 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: art here just looking at the story on the surface 256 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: is nuts. In twenty twelve, Johnny Lewis, I guess, murdered 257 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: his eighty one year old landlady, and when they found 258 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: her body inside the place, they found his body outside 259 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: on the pavement, also dead. It appeared that he had 260 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: jumped or fell from the roof. But there appears to 261 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: be a lot more going on here than just that. 262 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: That's kind of scratching the surface here. And I don't 263 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: know why this is news to me, Mihali, but I 264 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm going to look into this some more. 265 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: And also you mentioned Seven Pounds as a movie that 266 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: changed you. Again, I don't know this one at all. 267 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't even know that I remember it coming out. 268 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: It came out in two thousand and eight. My first 269 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: child was born in early two thousand and nine, so 270 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: there's sort of a I didn't really catch everything that 271 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: came out around this time. I'm gonna blame I'm going 272 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: to blame imminent fatherhood on this. But this is a 273 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight film with Will Smith, as you mentioned, 274 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: also with Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson, Barry Pepper. It's about 275 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: a man who sets out to change the lives of 276 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: seven people, and yet definitely sounds like a movie that 277 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: can change you. I'm adding this to my never ending Q. 278 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: Thank you Mahley for the recommendations and for the call 279 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: over to a text from the three to one. Oh 280 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: and here's the text, Hizeth. The movie that has forever 281 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: changed me is Into the Wild, and it's touched me 282 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: in a profound way. Not only does it have one 283 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: of my favorite Emil Hirsch performances, but Seam Penn's delicate 284 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: and sensitive filmmaking is truly special. I remember the feeling 285 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: that something within me shifted, like anything felt possible. I've 286 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: always been drawn to nature and Mother Earth, Yet after 287 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: seeing this film and subsequently reading the novel, it altered 288 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: my perspective on what it means to be alive and 289 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: how important it is to form genuine human connections. Plus 290 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: Eddie Vedder's soundtrack is breathtaking. As always loved the pod 291 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Lily in Northern California. Lily, thank you, appreciate you. Thanks 292 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: for writing in here Into the Wild, that's based on 293 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: a John Krakhar book. I distinctly remember reading both that 294 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: and another crack Hour book, Into Thin Air Back to Back, 295 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Into thin Air is about this Mount Everest disaster. They're 296 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: both nonfiction books. But Into the Wild, for those who 297 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: don't know, is a true story about this kid named 298 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: Christopher McCanless. He graduated from college and he just gave 299 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: all this stuff away, all his money, all his earthly possessions, 300 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: and just went into the Alaskan wilderness on his own, 301 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: just to discover nature alone. I guess four months later 302 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: he was found dead, and I think the ironic thing, 303 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, is that where his body was 304 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: found was just moments from civilization. You mentioned the soundtrack 305 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: also Eddie Vedder. He covers hard Sun this Salim by 306 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: Indio which, by the way, Trivia has backing vocals by 307 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: krn Tucker from Slater Kinney on that I remember, Yes, Seampenn, 308 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, Seampenn has this directing resume, The Crossing Guard 309 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: with Jack Nicholson. He's got into the Wild here. He's 310 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: got a couple of others which I'm forgetting. Not a 311 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: lot of people know this about Shampenn, but he is 312 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: a accomplished director as well. Lily, thanks for shouting out 313 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: this movie. Having thought of this in a while, I'm 314 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: glad that it had an effect on you. Another text 315 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: here from the eight four to three. This one says, 316 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: this is Charlie from the eight four to three Charleston, 317 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: South Carolina, and I just listened to the latest episode 318 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: asking him about movies that absolutely changed you, without a doubt. 319 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: Immediately what popped into my head was American History X. 320 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: Holy cow. There was nothing more transformative than that movie 321 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: that I've ever seen in my life. Won an eye 322 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: opening movie, won an incredible exposition of society at the time, 323 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: and it still stands to this day, which is even 324 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: scarier to think of. I apologize for all the misspellings 325 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: and capitalizations out of place, but this is all text 326 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: to talk while I'm walking my dogs. But I couldn't 327 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: help but put this thought together immediately and send it 328 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: to you. Hope you're doing well. Rock and rolla, Charlie, 329 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: RockA rolla right back at you. Yes, for sure, American 330 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: History X. I remember the shock of seeing that film 331 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: for the first time. In some instances, I couldn't believe 332 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: what I was seeing. I can't remember if that was 333 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: the first time I'd ever seen Edward Norton before in 334 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: a movie, but I remember it feeling very nineteen seventies 335 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: for a nineteen nineties film, although I guess you could 336 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: argue that nineteen nineties films were starting to take back 337 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 1: some of the stuff that the eighties movies were lacking 338 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: that the seventies had. Anyways, Charlie, thank you for that 339 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: text and reminding me of that film. Over on Patreon, 340 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: we got Nicole and Buffalo chimed in with this about 341 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: our question of the week. Nicole wrote the movie that 342 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: changed me when I was a teenager. It was Harold 343 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: and Maud. It really made me look at adulthood in 344 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: a different light. I was raised lower middle class in 345 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: the eighties, and at that time, adults made it a 346 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: point to complain about being adults. That movie made me 347 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: realize we have a choice. It's a privilege to grow old, 348 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 1: and being an adult has lots of great benefits. It's 349 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: something I've taught my children as they have grown. You 350 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: can't be a kid forever, but you can enjoy adulthood. 351 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: The winner is definitely not the one who complains the most. Nicole, 352 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: I know you're from Buffalo, but this is such a 353 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: New England state of mind. The winner is not the 354 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: one who complains the most. This is the sort of 355 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: thing that that was sort of instilled in me time 356 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: and time again when I was growing up. I always 357 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: thought Harold and Maud would be for me, based on 358 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: the premise, but I couldn't connect with it the way 359 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: that you did. But I love that you did, and 360 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: I love the sentiment that you're talking about here. They 361 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: say that a lot of what drives nostalgia is this 362 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: desire for a time when you were younger in life 363 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: was simpler and you didn't have to adult all the time, 364 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: which there may be some truth to that, but we 365 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: do have a choice. Actually, well actually there really is 366 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: no choice. You kind of have to become an adult 367 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: at some point. You can be young at heart and 368 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: all that, but you know, if you're thirty five and 369 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: watching Saturday morning cartoons all day and eating cereal in 370 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: your pajamas, that probably isn't going to work out for 371 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: the best. Sorry, if I triggered anybody there, that's just 372 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: my new England state of mind coming back to me. 373 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: See last week in the screening room we did La Confidential. 374 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: I got this text from Karen in the seven to 375 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: one to three.

I just listened to the LA Confidential 378 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: screening Room driving home from the airport, and you had 379 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: me rivetted. I am dusting off my DVD of LA 380 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 1: Confidential and going to watch this weekend when we get 381 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: our Texas Cold Front. You mentioned a couple of my 382 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: favorite movies I haven't thought about in a minute, The 383 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Last 384 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: Deduction with Linda Fiorantino. Got a quick nod from you 385 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: about indie movies from this time period. You didn't mention 386 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: Strictly Ballroom, but that's another AUSSI can't be fun movie 387 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: looking forward to the Cold Front and queuing up some 388 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: good nineties cinema. Thanks Karen, I kinda say you shook 389 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: loose in my mind a memory here. First of all, 390 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: thank you so much for listening to the LA Confidential 391 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: screen room episode. I'm so glad you were riveted and 392 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: you were into it. It's great to hear. I really 393 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. But anyways, you're mentioned I'm strictly Ballroom. 394 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: Shook loose this memory for me back when I was 395 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: in film school. My I think it was a screenwriting class. 396 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: My professor showed us or had an assignment on Strictly Ballroom. 397 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: Something about the script and the way the classes were 398 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: structured is that a lot of times you'd have there 399 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: would be like two classes in the week and one 400 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: was like a screening. So you go into the it 401 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: was great, like the classroom was like this, like incredible 402 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: small movie theater with a big screen, and so that 403 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: would be one of the classes of the week would 404 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: be the screening of whatever the film was, and then 405 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: the other class would be the discussion and whatever the lecture. 406 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: But we had this assignment to watch Strictly Ballroom and 407 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: there was a screening of it at this class, and 408 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, something was more important in my life 409 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: at that moment. This was freshman year, by the way, 410 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: I said fuck it, and I didn't go to the screening. 411 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm smart, I can figure it out. 412 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: I'll bullshit a paper because we had to write a 413 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: paper on this. So I didn't go see the screening. 414 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: I'd never seen the movie. I bullshitted this paper on it. 415 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 1: And you know, the professor was a smart dude, a 416 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: dude I looked up to. He was actually he was 417 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: a well known critic in Boston. He wrote for all 418 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: the major papers. He saw right through my bullshit. And 419 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: I remember, I think I failed that that assignment really 420 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: fucking hard. But even worse than that, Karen, I let 421 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: him down. And I remember I thought so highly of him, 422 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: and I had done so well in that class up 423 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: to that point, and I think he thought highly of me. 424 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: And then that happened, and it was like, you know, 425 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: it was one of those formative moments where I have 426 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: tried not to let someone else down like that again 427 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: in my life. What can I say? I was like 428 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: eighteen at the time. I didn't know any better. I'll 429 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: just check that up to as we were talking about earlier, 430 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: being a kid.

I am here at the recommendations section. 494 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: This is where I talk about what I've been listening to, watching, reading, 495 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: mostly watching, I guess, since this is a Hollywood Land, 496 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: movies and true crime podcasts. But let me preface this 497 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: with this. It has been cold here. I'm talking negative 498 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: twenty five wind chill cold overnight like keep your heat 499 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: turned up late at night cold, keep your faucets dripping 500 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: all night long. Cold. Plus we got walloped with like 501 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: eighteen inches of snow this weekend. The kids had a 502 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: snow day on Monday, and then at delay this morning. 503 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: This is kind of a shock, honestly, It's been years 504 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: since we've had a storm this big hit us, which 505 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: sounds wild to say since I live up here in 506 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: the frozen tundra practically in Canada where I'm at, I 507 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: can see Canada from my house. Not really, but I 508 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: just like to say that we haven't really had these 509 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: winters that I remember as a kid, although maybe I'm 510 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: just misremembering them. But this, certainly, this past week has 511 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: been reminded me of what it was like to grow 512 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: up in the Great Saint in Maine in the middle 513 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: of winter. So we're experiencing that right now. And for 514 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: all of you who are experiencing similar things, good luck, godspeed, 515 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: And for those of you who never experienced this sort 516 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: of thing, who are experiencing it right now, because I 517 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: know a lot of us in the US have been 518 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: hit with this, you know, just hanging there. It springs 519 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: right around the corner, you know, as Tom Waits once sang, 520 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: you can never hold back spring. It's coming, okay, but 521 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: this weather is good for watching stuff, and I have 522 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: been watching stuff. I went to the theaters last weekend 523 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: and I saw twenty eight years later, The Bone Temple. 524 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: This is the second film in a trilogy written by 525 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: Alex Garland, the Great Alex Garland, who recently wrote and 526 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: directed both Warfare and Civil War. He's collaborated a lot 527 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: with Danny Boyle, including the original twenty eight Days Later, 528 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: which has become this sort of like zombie franchise, I 529 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: guess you could say. But this latest trilogy, twenty eight 530 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: years Later, apparently Alex Garland has written all three scripts 531 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: for this. Danny Boyle directed the first one, twenty eight 532 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: years Later, which came out last year, and this second 533 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: installment of this new trilogy was directed not by Danny Boyle, 534 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 1: but by Nia da Costa. She did a Candy Man 535 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: reboot recently. She also did The Marvels, which is like 536 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 1: the lowest rated Marvel movie out there. So honestly, her 537 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: resume did not prepare me for how intense this movie was, 538 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: how incredible this movie was. It is a brutal film. 539 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: It is absolutely unhinged. It's basically a horror film that 540 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: happens inside this twenty eight years later universe. There are zombies, 541 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: but this movie is less about the rampant death and 542 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: destruction brought on by the undead. Then it's about the 543 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: death and destruction brought on by us, by people, specifically 544 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: by a group of marauders led by Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal, 545 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: who I mentioned earlier as played by Jack O'Connell. He 546 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: and his crew boasts these blonde wigs, flashy jewelry, and tracksuits, 547 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: but they are opposite of what they look like. They 548 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: are so evil, or Jimmy specifically is so evil. If 549 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: you haven't seen twenty eight years Later, the first one 550 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: in this trilogy, Closure ear Muff's from an it Closure 551 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: ear Muffs. But at the end of the last film, Spike, 552 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: the young boy, the hero of that movie, He's saved 553 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: from the zombies by Jimmy Crystal and his crew here. 554 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: But it turns out, as we open in this new 555 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: film that perhaps wasn't a good thing because Jimmy is 556 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: all kinds of fucked up. Jimmy is a sadist. He's 557 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: a satanist, and what he proceeds to do. Involves some 558 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: of the most intense, unhinged stuff I've seen on screen 559 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: in a while. It's very violent, it's very nihilistic, but 560 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: it does have good in it. It has a heart, 561 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: and the heart is there. And the actor Ray Fines, 562 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: who plays the doctor from the last film, who has 563 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: this Osco areas. It calls it the Bone Temple for 564 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: the Dead, where he preserves the remains of the dead, 565 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: those who were infected by the rage virus, and he's 566 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: also trying to find a cure for the virus. At 567 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the same time. For you metal heads out there, there 568 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: is an incredible scene in this film involving Iron Maiden's 569 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: number of the Beast that is just simply exhilarating, exhilarating filmmaking. 570 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: And again, Jack O'Connell, I mean, I know the guy's 571 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: in his mid thirties and he's been acting for a while, 572 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: but I'm keeping my eye in this guy from this 573 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: point out. This is just this performance especially. He was 574 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: great in Centers as well, but this performance, especially in 575 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: The Bone Temple, is going to go down as one 576 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: of the greatest villains of all time. You can mark 577 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: my words on that. I wouldn't call the next movie 578 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about exhilarating, but it's engaging. Nonetheless, 579 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: I rewatched for the first time in years, probably since 580 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: College Miller's Crossing. You know, we were talking about underrated 581 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: mob and mafia movies a while back. This is definitely 582 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: one of those. This is the Coen Brothers nineteen ninety 583 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: film starring Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney, Marcia gay Harden, John 584 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: Ciccuro Pallito, and this great small role by a bug 585 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: eyed Steve Buscemi. This is the cohens third film, after 586 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: Blood Simple and Raising Arizona. It's the one they made 587 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: right before Barton Fink, and watching this just crystallize for me. 588 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: This is my Cohen zone. Okay. I often sang the 589 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: praises of No Country for Old Men and Fargo and 590 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: The Big Lebowski. They're obviously all the tops, right and 591 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: then even a serious man and inside Lewin Davis and 592 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff is great. I mean, they're great, They're great, 593 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: They're they're the best. But this run Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, 594 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink. This was where I first fell 595 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: in love with these guys, with their deadpan style, their humor, 596 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: their dialogue, their characters, their frequent nods to movie history, 597 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: and so when they hit it big with Fargo in 598 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: the nineties, for me, that was like when your favorite 599 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: band suddenly got a major label deal back in the 600 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: day and blew up. But they didn't compromise their vision 601 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: or their values, so you couldn't really be angry at them, 602 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like, hey, that's my band, Like, 603 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, it was okay to share the Cohens with 604 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: other people because they were still doing movies the way 605 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: that they did movies. So I never begrudged the Cohens 606 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: their success, but I just had this strong connection to 607 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: their early work, their formative run, as it were. And 608 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: what I was taken by here this time was just 609 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: how much better Miller's Crossing is than I remember, Not 610 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: that I remember it not being good, but in my 611 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: mind it was always my least favorite of those four. 612 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: But I gotta say, man, I don't know this is 613 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: this is going to rank high for me now. It's 614 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: like a fine made Swiss watch, which you can say 615 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: about a lot of their films, but you know, it's 616 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: got the gangster thing mixed with the naughty plotted Chinatown 617 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: or Big Sleep noir thing. It's got an incredible Albert 618 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: Finney performance, one of John Chazeruro's best performances, not just 619 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: the scene where he begs for his life in the woods, 620 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: which is the iconic scene from this movie, but earlier 621 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: in the film when he's all attitude and fuck you 622 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: to Gabriel Byrne. Toturo is so good at playing a 623 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: guy who was playing other people. By the way, but 624 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: if if you like mob movies, if you like Off 625 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: the Beaten Path mob movies, if you like the Cohens 626 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: so much to like here, I highly highly recommend Miller's 627 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: Crossing to all y'all. And then finally, I won't get 628 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: into it too much here, but I finally started watching 629 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: Industry on HBO. The fourth season is running right now, 630 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: and it's getting a lot of that like greatest shows 631 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: of all time buzz so I was like, I should 632 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: take a look at the show.
