Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. I'm here
Speaker 1: in my home studio Charles W. Chuck Bryant of stuff
Speaker 1: you should know, Fame, Movie Crush, Mini Fame. That's a
Speaker 1: new one. That's a new intro, it is, and I'm
Speaker 1: here with old Brown of geez. How many shows you
Speaker 1: doing now? Oh, you know, just a couple of stuffy
Speaker 1: su stuff suff they don't want you to know as
Speaker 1: a ridiculous history. Yeah, stalwarts. And you're you're kind enough
Speaker 1: to help me out in here and all, which is great.
Speaker 1: Why do you? Kind is not the word for this? Is?
Speaker 1: I told you this makes my day and I love
Speaker 1: getting an early start on a Wednesday. We're back to
Speaker 1: our normal stomping grounds. Yeah, not known as Friday Afternoon.
Speaker 1: That was fun too, and it's yeah. So this is
Speaker 1: our number two for the day, number one for you
Speaker 1: this week, listeners, Number one in your hearts, number one
Speaker 1: in your hearts with a bullet All right, No, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna jump right into it, just what we do
Speaker 1: on our second episode, because we've already caught up and
Speaker 1: we're going to start out with a post that I
Speaker 1: threw in there this morning. Sorry I didn't give everyone
Speaker 1: a lot of time on this, but I I was
Speaker 1: busy last night. Uh club no Wana mentioned that before.
Speaker 1: Directors who I feel like have never made a stinker.
Speaker 1: Maybe not all the movies or masterpieces, but none of
Speaker 1: them can be considered like missteps or like bad movies.
Speaker 1: Like even the great Steven Spielberg made Crystal Skull. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he can't. He's not on the list. Crystal Skull sucked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. It's a good point. I mean, I I
Speaker 1: definitely didn't. I think so you're judging Crystal Skull against
Speaker 1: all other Indiana Jones movies, which I guess is the
Speaker 1: only way you can't judge it, right, No, I'm judging
Speaker 1: it as a movie. It just wasn't very good, okay,
Speaker 1: and especially if you look at it as in the
Speaker 1: in the cannon of of the Indiana Jones films, it's
Speaker 1: just a dark spot. What was it about it that
Speaker 1: you didn't think was good? Just the plot wasn't good.
Speaker 1: There was bad acting, casting choices, the c G I
Speaker 1: was like things like that had so many problems. It
Speaker 1: was really really disappointing. So as much as I love
Speaker 1: me some. Steven Spielberg, he just he can't make the list. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Collen Brothers, I give a They're on my list
Speaker 1: because their worst movie, The Lady Killers, is still I
Speaker 1: don't think a stinker. It's not great, but it's good enough,
Speaker 1: And the rest of their movies are I think literally
Speaker 1: every one of them great. I think The Lady Killers
Speaker 1: is quite funny. It makes me laugh. It's not a
Speaker 1: great movie, for sure, Yeah, but it's funny enough. I mean,
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks alone and with that voice is you know,
Speaker 1: I'll watch that movie just to laugh at that. Exactly.
Speaker 1: Who else I've always put Sofia Coppola on the list.
Speaker 1: I think that all of her movies have been none
Speaker 1: of them have been stinkers. I think the one that
Speaker 1: um her least good movie was the Was it the Beloved?
Speaker 1: Was that the name of the one for a few
Speaker 1: years ago? I don't a lot of people are really
Speaker 1: hating on this new one where it just feels like
Speaker 1: why bother kind of but I haven't seen him. You
Speaker 1: said you thought it was okay, I liked it. Okay.
Speaker 1: What was the name of it? Wasn't the Beloved? Oh? Uh?
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's see it's uh The Beguiled it
Speaker 1: was all right, it wasn't great, but the rest of
Speaker 1: her movies are great. I think Catherine Bigelow um even
Speaker 1: dubbing into her eighties work. Like I haven't seen her
Speaker 1: first movie, so I'm not sure, but like she did
Speaker 1: Blue Steel in the eighties, like that was a pretty
Speaker 1: fun movie, and certainly she got better and better as
Speaker 1: a filmmaker. So I think Katherin Bigelow is probably on
Speaker 1: that list. David or Russell was on my list. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kubrick is probably on my list. He's never made a stinker.
Speaker 1: So I asked the crushers what they thought. Who were there?
Speaker 1: A d percent clovers and Uh, we're just gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and get going here with Tom Rhodes, he says,
Speaker 1: Chris Nolan, uh, and David Fincher, he says, I don't
Speaker 1: hate Alien three. And there was supposedly a ton of
Speaker 1: studio interference. I think we talked about venture and whether
Speaker 1: or not he was a center, and I I knocked
Speaker 1: him for Alien three. Yeah. I actually it's been so
Speaker 1: long as I've seen that, and at the time, I
Speaker 1: can't I don't think I was aware of David Fincher
Speaker 1: like as a So I wasn't judging it in that way,
Speaker 1: but I'll have to watch it. I might might, I
Speaker 1: might treat myself to an Alien marathon. What was his uh?
Speaker 1: What was his first movie? It wasn't Alien three? Was
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's see. I mean he did a
Speaker 1: lot of music videos. He did like Madonna, like a prayer,
Speaker 1: um not like like a prayer he did, I believe Vogue.
Speaker 1: His first movie. It might have been, uh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so it was yeah, Alien three, Yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was his first. Um seven, Great The Game, Great Bike Club,
Speaker 1: Great Panic Room, good Zodiac, masterpiece. You know, Benjamin Button,
Speaker 1: I didn't really like that. I didn't like it either,
Speaker 1: but it's still a good movie. And it's a wise
Speaker 1: It's what she would call a big swing, right Chuck.
Speaker 1: You know, boy, obviously it was a passion project for him.
Speaker 1: I don't like it either, But again i've I've I've
Speaker 1: heard critics that that that's still you know, it's it's polarizing.
Speaker 1: Some people really love it. I did not love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Social Network, great Dragon Tattoo thought a really good remake,
Speaker 1: done Girl, awesome make still haven't finished, but intrigued to
Speaker 1: me enough, and it's definitely not a stinker, all right.
Speaker 1: I agree Venture should probably be on there. Christopher Nolan
Speaker 1: have some issues with him. He's not made stinkers though.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have to qualify. Like again,
Speaker 1: like I think the discussion we had around Crystal Skull
Speaker 1: has to hold true. Do you judge it based on
Speaker 1: all of his other movies as in they're not as good,
Speaker 1: or it has to to be an absolute kind of bomb.
Speaker 1: It has to really suck and just not be a
Speaker 1: good movie. I mean, I don't even go so far.
Speaker 1: Here's my criteria. It doesn't have to really suck. I
Speaker 1: think just not a good movie for that director, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like the bar is high, um,
Speaker 1: So I don't think it has to be garbage. But
Speaker 1: to me, it's just if it's not a very good
Speaker 1: movie that I don't want to see again, then that qualifies.
Speaker 1: And this is just my own dumb criteria. Caroline Gaston,
Speaker 1: one of our oldest spial, says, is it too soon
Speaker 1: to say? Ari asked her with just two films, But
Speaker 1: she also says most of his short films are on
Speaker 1: YouTube and they're all pretty great, So you know he's
Speaker 1: pent and I imagine he'll keep making pretty good movies.
Speaker 1: I don't see are asked making a stinker anytime soon. Totally,
Speaker 1: he's fantastic. And you know, it's interesting because like obviously
Speaker 1: your first film you have like your whole life to
Speaker 1: think of, and then your second one. You know, if
Speaker 1: you do well with the first one, the studios are
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be you know, on you to put another
Speaker 1: one out. And I think he did a fine job
Speaker 1: as uh. I think both of us had a few
Speaker 1: issues with Midsummer. Um, it's damn good so quickly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lenia Barnett, one of our oldest palaces. Wes Anderson is
Speaker 1: the only director that can fill that slot for me.
Speaker 1: Adore his work and love the world he creates. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I love them all. Uh. Sarah Irons also says Wes Anderson.
Speaker 1: I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I
Speaker 1: love his films, Aidan Noah Clark has a nice list
Speaker 1: going here. Todd Haynes, Sure, Basil Dearden, don't know who
Speaker 1: Basil Derdon is. Basil Derdon, No, he sounds very British.
Speaker 1: He does. Sidney uh Pedro al Mondova is close but
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. Isn't great, is what? Aiden says? Bong
Speaker 1: John Bong June Hoe. Oh yeah, big times, Yorgos Lantamos,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, still early, but yes, Sebastian Lalio don't
Speaker 1: know that Bill Maker and Corey Finley is two for
Speaker 1: two so far. I don't know these people. Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 1: Basil dear Den is old. He was born in nineteen eleven.
Speaker 1: He looks like he did some noir stuff film called
Speaker 1: The Dead of Night from Sapphire The Blue Lamp Victim.
Speaker 1: These all look like cool Hitchcock e thriller noir situations
Speaker 1: from the from the fifties and early sixties. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna add some of these to my list. Uh. And
Speaker 1: Corey Finley says two for two did Bad Education and Thoroughbreds.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen either one of those. Those
Speaker 1: are both supposed to be pretty good, though, Bathtian Bad
Speaker 1: Education jacking my almotiv ar. No, no, no, this is
Speaker 1: Corey Finley Bad Education, based on the true story of
Speaker 1: the largest public school embezzlement in American history. And there's
Speaker 1: another there's a Bad Education as well. Interesting. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll have to check these out. Deep cuts. I like
Speaker 1: deep cuts. Noll too. Let me see here. Ian Lyone
Speaker 1: says that's tough. Let me some Spielberg and Ridley Scott.
Speaker 1: But among their mega classics, they've certainly made some stinkers,
Speaker 1: some leaning towards filmmakers who have had fewer efforts, which
Speaker 1: is probably unfair. Jonathan Glazer, Uh, Sexy Beasts under the
Speaker 1: Skin and Birth, Yeah, for sure. And Edgar Wright, Shaun
Speaker 1: of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Hot Buds, and Baby Driver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Edgar right is totally totally good call, good call. Ian
Speaker 1: iron Don Morris, I think I fully agree with this,
Speaker 1: says Sam Mendez. Solid solid and one of my favorite
Speaker 1: little note movies. Away we Go. That was such a
Speaker 1: great movie. I haven't seen that or heard of it.
Speaker 1: He's so versatile though, because like he can do obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, amazing Indie kind of character driven drama, like
Speaker 1: an American Beauty, But then he could turn around and
Speaker 1: do a Skyfall or like in nineteen seventeen or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, revolutionary road. He can do the period pieces that.
Speaker 1: He is just a really versatile director, no question about it.
Speaker 1: The Way we Go, jar Head, these are all really
Speaker 1: great road to Perdition Specter as well. Yeah, American Beauty
Speaker 1: of course. Sam Mendez he's on my list. Yes, he
Speaker 1: actually hasn't directed a hell of a lot of movie's
Speaker 1: only got twelve twelve movies to his credit. I mean
Speaker 1: that's a lot. I guess that is a lot. What
Speaker 1: am I talking about? It's a lot. He's he's been
Speaker 1: at it for a while. But yeah, he he doesn't
Speaker 1: like make one like every two years, like he'll he'll like,
Speaker 1: he'll like sit on things for a little while. Um,
Speaker 1: it's good. Yeah, king Lear, I'm not familiar with a
Speaker 1: king Lear adaptation. Did he produce it or directed? He
Speaker 1: directed it? Really? Yeah? Co directed it with somebody named
Speaker 1: Robin low Oh. Interesting, all right, I did not know that.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna go with Kathy Lowe. McCray says,
Speaker 1: Granted she's only made a handful of films, but everything
Speaker 1: Tamora Jenkins does it's fantastic. Totally agree. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite directors. Tamora Jenkins did Slums of Beverly Hills, The Savages,
Speaker 1: that great, great movie with Laura Lenny and Philip sy
Speaker 1: Moore Hoffman as siblings. And then uh, I have not
Speaker 1: seen Private life from a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 1: that is on the list. I did not know about
Speaker 1: this movie and it sounds great with Katherine Hahn, who
Speaker 1: everyone loves, and Paul Giamati and Molly Shannon, who have
Speaker 1: such a crush on Molly Shannon is a is a delight.
Speaker 1: She is man, I want to get around the show
Speaker 1: so bad. She's just so like sunny and like and
Speaker 1: and and and can play it super goofy. But it
Speaker 1: is also you know, stunning, uh, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: It is the ability to kind of, you know, fill
Speaker 1: both of those roles. I love her, always have had
Speaker 1: just the biggest crush on Molly Shannon. You know her backstory? Band?
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear what happened here when she was
Speaker 1: a kid? No? No, I have not. She was on
Speaker 1: Mark Marin and her uh, her mother and I think
Speaker 1: sister were killed in a car wreck with her father
Speaker 1: driving and I think he had been drinking. And like,
Speaker 1: it's brutal to hear her tell that story. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's tough, man go through a tragedy like that. Oh
Speaker 1: youve ay, Jennifer Mudge says Sophia Coppola. Stanley Kubrick David
Speaker 1: Fincher and Martin Scorsese if the Irishman didn't exist. I'm
Speaker 1: with you, Mudge. You you can park in my garage
Speaker 1: any day. That's so funny that Casey Pegraham, who is
Speaker 1: like such a particular boy when it comes to music movies,
Speaker 1: just loves that one. And it's such a device. So
Speaker 1: I didn't hate it, but I was with you. It
Speaker 1: was kind of like it just felt like such a
Speaker 1: retread to me of like things like like Casino and
Speaker 1: uh and and Goodfellas. But I don't know, maybe I
Speaker 1: really did just have a bad taste in my mouth
Speaker 1: because of that video game cut scene aspect to it
Speaker 1: just bugged. Yeah, for sure. Uh, Mike Bender or Binder
Speaker 1: Uh is also parking in my garage because he says
Speaker 1: Alexander Paine batting a thousand sideways election Nebraska about Schmidt descendants,
Speaker 1: he didn't put Citizen Ruth on there. That's great. They're
Speaker 1: they're all great. I'm with you. He's my favorite for
Speaker 1: one of my favorites, he's my top five. I think.
Speaker 1: Bill Horton says, yeah, I haven't seen all his movies,
Speaker 1: but I think they're all supposed to be pretty great.
Speaker 1: He's just a magical creature. I adore him. He's got
Speaker 1: what have you seen Hunt for the Wilder People, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I still haven't. It's been in my queue for like
Speaker 1: two years, and I don't know why I haven't seen
Speaker 1: it yet. It's just lovely. I saw it when it
Speaker 1: came out in the theaters, and I think I saw
Speaker 1: it like twice in the theater. It's just one of
Speaker 1: these movies that's just very, very nice. It has conflict,
Speaker 1: but like nothing horrible happens to anybody, and everyone kind
Speaker 1: of learns a lesson and ends up better at the end,
Speaker 1: and but not unlike a cloying, obnoxious way. And he's
Speaker 1: got another one. His first film is called what's it called.
Speaker 1: It's called Like Boy or something like that, or the
Speaker 1: Boy that looks like has a very similar vibe. But um,
Speaker 1: I yeah, I just adore him. And then I and
Speaker 1: again great example of an interesting, quirky, small director. Yeah,
Speaker 1: going and being able to helm these massive Marvel movies,
Speaker 1: which is, you know, he can look at that as
Speaker 1: a good or a bad thing, because it does start
Speaker 1: to kind of take them away from doing their smaller,
Speaker 1: you know, more heartfelt things. But it's also nice to
Speaker 1: see these big movies with a little heart. Boy is
Speaker 1: what it's called from two thousand ten um. And he
Speaker 1: also obviously directed a bunch of Flight of the Concords.
Speaker 1: And he has a movie called Eagle Versus Shark that's
Speaker 1: really cute with the fight. That's a great movie. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's finish up here with a couple more t J. Danny,
Speaker 1: his p T Anderson. His lesser movies are a far
Speaker 1: cry better than a lot of director's best movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would argue that he has no lesser movies.
Speaker 1: T J. I love him, even his supposedly worst movie
Speaker 1: that I covered recently with Adam what's it called, Inherent Vice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still thought it was very interesting. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: people love that one. Though people do love that one.
Speaker 1: I had a hard time with it at the time.
Speaker 1: It isn't it wasn't the right movie for me at
Speaker 1: that moment, But I need to get need to give
Speaker 1: it another shot because I know people that I really
Speaker 1: respect who love it. All right, let's just quickly do
Speaker 1: a few more of these. Eve Elizabeth Lee says, ain't
Speaker 1: never seen a shitty John Sales movie. I would agree
Speaker 1: with that. John sales classic, Joe Well says Denis Villanieu. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, no stinkers yet the stinkers, and he's a
Speaker 1: good example of bouncing nicely between a small ish movie
Speaker 1: and a massive movie. You know, Robert Eggers is on
Speaker 1: the list. I know it's early. That is David Barlow.
Speaker 1: I totally agree, though. Another vote for Yorgos Lanthamos from
Speaker 1: Christian Nelson Bonzalis. J Fraser says Robert Zemeckis, Oh, boys
Speaker 1: always got some stinky boys. Hard disagree. He's got some.
Speaker 1: He's got some bad news bears in his catalog. Interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, the the movie about the Joseph Gordon Levit
Speaker 1: doing the high wire walk was terrible. I think polar expresses.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, but didn't that kind of generally yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess some people think it's a classic.
Speaker 1: Some people say it's a stinker did He did some
Speaker 1: terrible Beowolf movie too, That was the all of his
Speaker 1: c g I ones are are pretty pretty divisive. But
Speaker 1: he also did one, if I'm not mistaken, that Welcome
Speaker 1: to Marwin, which is supposed to be terrible, supposed to
Speaker 1: be unbearably bad. Boy. Now I'm looking, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that Robert Semikis has made more good movies than bad.
Speaker 1: Did he direct Romancing the Stone? I don't know. Let's see,
Speaker 1: Holy sh it, well, that's certainly in the good group
Speaker 1: he did. It's close, man, I bet it's fifty fifty.
Speaker 1: But hey, this is all in the opinion of the crushers.
Speaker 1: So j Fraser, he directed Death bea Comes Her. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I really like Death Becomes Her as
Speaker 1: as cheesy as it was, And he did all three
Speaker 1: Back to the Futures. Didn't know that either. Romancing the Stone. Um.
Speaker 1: He was a big force in the Tales from the
Speaker 1: Crypt series. He was an executive producer and directed three episodes.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I gotta tell you this is really funny. Um.
Speaker 1: So Contact movie. Contact was the one where uh Jodie
Speaker 1: Foster uh finds aliens by sending pings into outer space
Speaker 1: or whatever. Um. There's an amazing part in that movie
Speaker 1: where she's got this rack of like equipment in this
Speaker 1: like lab that's supposed to look like I guess science
Speaker 1: c type equipment, but it's all like kind of like
Speaker 1: pro sumer audio equipment. It's the thing she's noodling with
Speaker 1: is like an effects processor, like like like like delay
Speaker 1: and reverb and phaser and stuff like that. And she's
Speaker 1: literally turning this dial trying to tune in the aliens
Speaker 1: and it's like an electra I'm sorry, even tied. Ultra
Speaker 1: harmonizer is the name of the device. You're like, well,
Speaker 1: that looks fancy. Oh God, bless him. Art department. They
Speaker 1: work pretty hard. They sometimes they don't quite nail it all. Right. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do our second and final segment here before
Speaker 1: stream this UM. I borrowed this from Peach pank Hurst,
Speaker 1: one of the great old pals here, one of actually names.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, see that name again, Peach pank Hurst. That's
Speaker 1: a great name, Peaches. Peach has been around for a while.
Speaker 1: She's wonderful. So I moved this one over to the
Speaker 1: regular movie crush page just to get a little bit
Speaker 1: more traction because I was short on time. But Peach asked,
Speaker 1: and there is a great question, who are some of
Speaker 1: your favorite movie parents? M hmm, good one, huh? Movie parents?
Speaker 1: Like favorite just just just I mean as in they
Speaker 1: were good parents or just interesting characters perhaps that you love,
Speaker 1: like you know, Elliott's mom and a t like a beloved,
Speaker 1: beloved movie parents. It's true waller Stone. I mean, I
Speaker 1: really love Catherine O'Hara and the Home Alone movies. I
Speaker 1: mean mainly the first one, even though she's like obviously
Speaker 1: a negligent, derelict parent. I love the scene when she
Speaker 1: realizes that Kevin has been left behind. She just goes
Speaker 1: Kevin and then like passes out. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: a classic physical comedy moment. I'm trying to imagine Home
Speaker 1: Alone now with Moira. It turns out we've left her left,
Speaker 1: Kevin is home alone. What are we to do? She
Speaker 1: does that thing where she emphasizes if it's like a
Speaker 1: three syllable words, she'll really emphasize and then stop on
Speaker 1: that first syllable. I'm now, I can't even think of
Speaker 1: a sucking three syllable word or three Uh, I'm losing
Speaker 1: an old I can't think of that exactly. But I
Speaker 1: love that she always says it's a bebbet like she
Speaker 1: would say defy, defy exactly. That's very good. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you know this, but she it was not
Speaker 1: written that way. I mean, she brought that to it
Speaker 1: and entirely. Man, I'd love to get her on what
Speaker 1: a legend fabulous. I might try and do that. I've
Speaker 1: been getting some good kids lightly, so I'm kind of
Speaker 1: trying again. You know, the the rub is trying to
Speaker 1: get someone who can record themselves decently, but totally apparently
Speaker 1: you can use the zoom audio if they have nothing else,
Speaker 1: and yeah, just don't get him to wear your buds
Speaker 1: or whatever. It totally were all right, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: with Oh, this is so great, Philly Yates, says Harold Ramos.
Speaker 1: Playing Seth Rogan's dad and knocked up is the kind
Speaker 1: of parent I would aspire to be. That was great.
Speaker 1: Remember that it wasn't a big part at all, but
Speaker 1: he was such a great dad and those scenes are wonderful.
Speaker 1: Harold Ramos. Yeah, remember he played the dad and knocked
Speaker 1: up Seth Rogan's dad. You have a few little scenes together,
Speaker 1: but they're really great. That's right, yes, And he passed
Speaker 1: away not terribly terribly long after that. I believe so sad.
Speaker 1: He's fabulous. Ethan yavn Or and boy Ethan Yavin here
Speaker 1: one of the crushers. I've said, you need to get
Speaker 1: that Yavin for license plate Star Wars, and he did
Speaker 1: nol and he put a picture of it up. He
Speaker 1: says Kevin Pollock and Jamie Lee Curtis from The Masterful
Speaker 1: Film House Arrest, all right, Alfie Brady, says Burt Fisher
Speaker 1: from Rushmore. He may only be a brain surgeon, but
Speaker 1: he's all right with me. Yeah, boy, he was great.
Speaker 1: Sam Sam what's his face? I'm not sure Rushmore? Max's
Speaker 1: dad Fisher, Yeah, Bert Fisher, Sam. What's his last name?
Speaker 1: I can't remember the act. I just don't remember the actor.
Speaker 1: People are yelling now, I gotta look it up. I
Speaker 1: hate doing this, but it's okay. I'm with you. Let's
Speaker 1: see you get Sam Neil. Oh, yeah, Noel. Sam Neil
Speaker 1: was in Rushmore. Who wasn't it. I don't know, not
Speaker 1: Sam Rockwell, I've been looking for Sam's in the in
Speaker 1: the cast list. Seymour, Seymour as, I'm so sorry everyone, God,
Speaker 1: so many people are screaming at me. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: Say I'm a good lord. No wonder what wasn't coming
Speaker 1: up in my own an interesting face? He was also
Speaker 1: in the Life Aquatic. He was in Dick Tracy briefly.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a legend. Boy. Look at little Mason Gamble.
Speaker 1: He's all grown up now, that's so funny. Caroline Gaston
Speaker 1: one of our old favorites as Morticia and Gomez. John
Speaker 1: Query says Bill Murray and Fran McDorman and Moonrise Kingdom.
Speaker 1: Does it concern your that your daughter ran away? That's
Speaker 1: a loaded question, great line, Let me see. Joshua Hall
Speaker 1: says uh siok Wu and trained to Boussan. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: down with that, great, great movie. I would add the parents, um,
Speaker 1: you know again, not maybe because they were great people,
Speaker 1: but the parents in Parasite are very you know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to survive. They ultimately love their kids. They're doing
Speaker 1: the best they can, but they're also kind of garbage people,
Speaker 1: but very complex. I want to see that again. So good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta see that. I've probably seen it five times.
Speaker 1: I just love amazing. T J Danny says, Stanley Tucci
Speaker 1: and Patricia Clarkson an easy a. Yeah, there were a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Weston Holstin says the gris Walds, But
Speaker 1: for TV, Sam's parents and Freaks and Geeks are my
Speaker 1: all time favorite fictional parents. Yeah, what about the parents
Speaker 1: and that seventies show? They're great. I love uh and
Speaker 1: Kitty and Red Red Oh I think so Yeah, they
Speaker 1: were fun. I really love that show. It was a
Speaker 1: big big fan. Uh oh boy, this one's so great.
Speaker 1: Ian Tyson, says Harry Dean Stanton as Andy's dad and
Speaker 1: pretty and pink, so good. He was amazing. I think
Speaker 1: freaks and geeks of streaming now on something Hulu or Netflix.
Speaker 1: What a what a crop of talented young young folks
Speaker 1: that went on to do huge stuff. Yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: that twice all the way through. I think it's a
Speaker 1: third time. Might happen soon. It's very good. Stellen Carlson
Speaker 1: one of our oldest friends, loving that blue hairage Dellen.
Speaker 1: The parents from my neighbor to Toro, because they seem
Speaker 1: like nice people. They are a lot of good. Well,
Speaker 1: the parents and Spirited Away are very derelict and awful,
Speaker 1: uh and negligent. But you're right, yeah, the parents and
Speaker 1: uh my neighbor Totor are lovely. That's been I bought
Speaker 1: that knol like five months ago and we still haven't
Speaker 1: watched it. Watch it with the kid. It's lovely. It's well.
Speaker 1: We have movie night tomorrow night, so we're gonna watch
Speaker 1: Aladdin because she's never seen that. But I keep kicking
Speaker 1: to Toro down the road. Well. Also, all of the
Speaker 1: Studio Ghiblie films are on HBO Max Now as well,
Speaker 1: so really there's there's other really good ones. Spirited Away
Speaker 1: is great. My neighbor Totoro is probably the most like
Speaker 1: one of the most one of the more kid friendly ones.
Speaker 1: But I think she'd like Spirited Away. It's it's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Also, Howel's moving Castle, h Castle in
Speaker 1: the Sky. They're all lovely, They're all lovely movies. We
Speaker 1: gotta get gotta get ghibli with it, get Himli with it. Chuck.
Speaker 1: Christopher Steiner totally agree here, says Shazam Billie's foster parents
Speaker 1: were awesome. That is such a sweetheartwarming movie. Manatim only
Speaker 1: watch that she normally might not be into it. She
Speaker 1: really loved it. Wonderful Oh, Alan Alida and Carol Burnett
Speaker 1: in the Four Seasons. That's from Laurie Sutton. I was
Speaker 1: in college at the time and so badly wanted them
Speaker 1: to be my parents visiting campus for the weekend. Yeah
Speaker 1: for sure. Uh. Someone on the Crushers page on the
Speaker 1: original post mentioned um apparents in a Christmas story, especially
Speaker 1: the mom she was so great and wonderful. Mike Mike
Speaker 1: Sam says the parents from Love Simon. If only every
Speaker 1: set of parents was that understanding. Did I see that movie?
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar. I I think I have. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure I have, and I know it and it looks familiar.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with yes. Let me see here, oh
Speaker 1: Ian Tyson again. Paul Dooley is Jim Baker in Sixteen Candles.
Speaker 1: He comes through for Samantha in the end. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was a pretty sweet dad. Those U Ferres Spueller, Ferris Spueller,
Speaker 1: the John Hughes movies had some pretty great parents, including
Speaker 1: the parents and Farres Always Love I Always Love. Ferris
Speaker 1: is dad of that movie. He's just so chill. Dan
Speaker 1: Maynard says George and Lorraine McFly Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's important, you know, in those types of
Speaker 1: movies for the parents not to be that that's one
Speaker 1: thing that sets them apart from just like, you know,
Speaker 1: really cliche kind of like one dimensional family type, you know,
Speaker 1: eighties movies or whatever. It's just like there should be
Speaker 1: dimension to the parents. They they have like a life
Speaker 1: as well, and they that should be seen. Uh as
Speaker 1: that should be portrayed, you know, accurately at least like like, okay,
Speaker 1: a great example, not a great movie, but I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people do have a funnest for this
Speaker 1: is like American Pie, you know, Eugene Levy, like he
Speaker 1: sees his son like you know, having sex with a pie.
Speaker 1: It has to have this awkward moment with his son,
Speaker 1: which is a thing that parents a lot of times
Speaker 1: have to do. Maybe not it's such an extreme example,
Speaker 1: but you know, parents are often like portrayed as super
Speaker 1: one dimensional or like they don't have any inner life
Speaker 1: of their own, and I think movies that that give
Speaker 1: them that rise to the next level. Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 1: Sofia Fernandez says Steve Martin and parenthood. Uh, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna personally throw uh Mary Steen Virgin in there too.
Speaker 1: She said. He seems like a real depiction of a
Speaker 1: real dad laws and all. Yeah, totally. Chel Stone says, uh,
Speaker 1: Elio's parents and call me by your name speech by
Speaker 1: the dad at the end is gold, totally, Rachel. Wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful movie. And let's finish off with let Me See
Speaker 1: Here Boy, Stanley two cham Patricia Clarkson an easy a
Speaker 1: or getting a lot of love there. And I agree,
Speaker 1: that's a good movie. Man. So many people said that
Speaker 1: they were the best, they were the best parents. All right,
Speaker 1: let's finish up with j Fraser here, says father of
Speaker 1: the Bride, Diane Keaton and Steve Martin. Yeah they're pretty great.
Speaker 1: What a great bearing. I love it, all right. No,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish up with Thanks Peach for that. Uh
Speaker 1: dare I say you are a peach? We're gonna friend
Speaker 1: Uh finish up here with stream this and nol. I've
Speaker 1: seen a couple of movies lately. We're still barreling through
Speaker 1: Ship's Creek season five now. But uh, I failed to
Speaker 1: mention a few weeks ago when we got back in
Speaker 1: the Saddle that I did watch Wonder Woman eighty four.
Speaker 1: Did you that was not good? I liked it. I
Speaker 1: did not like it. Yeah, I liked it. I thought,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't put too much stock in
Speaker 1: it to be the end all be all, and I
Speaker 1: thought it was. It wasn't great, but I liked it fine.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I just thought the villain was so
Speaker 1: corny and like, just he didn't he didn't do He
Speaker 1: wasn't good. At being a villain. He kept making horrible
Speaker 1: decisions and using this power that he had, like in
Speaker 1: the most hair brained way, and then at the end
Speaker 1: like it just the way he did his big villain
Speaker 1: moment just made no sense. And I just I it
Speaker 1: fell apart for me and just I just kind of
Speaker 1: kept being like, really, we're going there, and it was
Speaker 1: so like over the top of the acting. And I
Speaker 1: love that actor Pedro Uh what's his name, yeah, Mando. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's great. But um, I was not a fan. See,
Speaker 1: I kind of liked him actually, um, and I thought
Speaker 1: he played that role perfectly for what he was. Um.
Speaker 1: Not a great movie, but I enjoyed it fine. There
Speaker 1: were enough good moments in it. If I if I
Speaker 1: pick it apart, it falls apart a bit. But um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna defend it a little bit from the people
Speaker 1: who who thought it was a piece of garbage. But hey,
Speaker 1: sounds like you're one of those people, know. I just
Speaker 1: I you know, I wouldn't go so far as to
Speaker 1: say it was a piece of garbage. I just disappoint
Speaker 1: It was disappointing, and I didn't really have a huge
Speaker 1: expectations and except that Wonder Woman was the first d
Speaker 1: C movie in a minute that like was actually fun
Speaker 1: and not just brooding and depressing, and they were, you know, bleak.
Speaker 1: This one tried to capitalize on that and make it
Speaker 1: fun and over the top in that same way. I
Speaker 1: just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Um, but
Speaker 1: I had enough moments in it. I think that redeemed
Speaker 1: it a bit from me. Got it. And then we
Speaker 1: watched a great movie, one of the best movies I've
Speaker 1: seen in a while, called Promising Young Woman. Uh no spoilers,
Speaker 1: but it is the directorial debut of writer director Emerald
Speaker 1: Finnell or Finnel I'm not sure how she pronounces it.
Speaker 1: Amazing debut film I believe she created. And what's the
Speaker 1: showrunner for? Uh, what's the show killing Eve? I have
Speaker 1: not seen, but it's supposed to be loved. Yeah, Promising
Speaker 1: Young Woman is awesome. It was stylish and clever and
Speaker 1: had a great ending and twists and turns, and it
Speaker 1: was tense and taught and current and just I loved
Speaker 1: everything about it. It was awesome. Interesting that you say that,
Speaker 1: and I've heard the same thing, and it's got nothing
Speaker 1: but glowing reviews. Uh, my my lady friend and two
Speaker 1: of her girlfriends had like a you know, kind of
Speaker 1: a visit and they watched that and they actually did
Speaker 1: the whole spend twenty dollars, you know, to get the
Speaker 1: current movie streaming, and they loved it up until whatever
Speaker 1: the third act twist is, and then they hated it
Speaker 1: vehemently with a passion and said they thought it was
Speaker 1: like anti feminist and that it was like and I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I'm just I'm just reporting what
Speaker 1: i've what I heard. I haven't seen it, and I
Speaker 1: really want to see it. But um they all three
Speaker 1: apparently were in agreement that it was that they hated
Speaker 1: the way it went, Like they almost said they felt
Speaker 1: like it was passed off to a different director all
Speaker 1: of a sudden and like totally out of character for
Speaker 1: where the movie was going. But um, I I can't
Speaker 1: speak to that. I just I wanted to bring that
Speaker 1: up because I thought it was interesting how much they
Speaker 1: disliked the ending. Hard disagree. I loved the ending and
Speaker 1: I both did good. I'm looking forward to seeing great movie.
Speaker 1: What have you been watching? I really really like this
Speaker 1: new Marvel thing WandaVision on Disney. Plus, I haven't seen
Speaker 1: episode three, Yet it's it's the episode three is when
Speaker 1: you start to get a little more cracks in the
Speaker 1: facade of what's actually going on. I like it purely
Speaker 1: for what it is like for I think it does
Speaker 1: such a good job of mimicking the writing and the
Speaker 1: style and the set deck of you know, things like
Speaker 1: Bewitched and I Dream of Genie and all that, and
Speaker 1: then the third one is like a Brady Bunch kind
Speaker 1: of sixties thing. Um. At first, I'm like, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a head scratch. I'm like, are you
Speaker 1: guys gonna just keep this up? Or like, is there
Speaker 1: gonna be like something's gonna break this this veil of
Speaker 1: what's going on, and there's gonna be like a real conflict.
Speaker 1: And I think we're starting to see that happen. Um.
Speaker 1: I would agree with some of the criticism that maybe
Speaker 1: it's packing not a whole lot of plots into a
Speaker 1: pretty big bucket, you know. But I've I've I've very
Speaker 1: much enjoyed and looking looking forward to the next one. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the third one. I'm on it,
Speaker 1: And I think that's it for today. If that's all
Speaker 1: you got, that's all I got man all right, Well,
