WEBVTT - Mini Crush #149 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.440 Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush Monday, the miniest 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:39.520 edition of all tiny, tiny, tiny crushes on a Monday. Yeah, 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.040 that's all I got. I don't know. I don't know 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:42.639 what I'm doing here, Chuck, I don't know what I'm doing. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.839 What is that? It was a little song I made up, 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.720 but it wasn't very inspired. But look at a cartoon theme. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.280 Well I appreciate that, Chuck. Our our, our good friend 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:56.760 and compatriot, Miranda Um came up. She accidentally coined an 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.240 amazing phrase. It's it's flying, No, it's getting by by 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:06.000 the fly of my seat. I don't even have her 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.800 on the show. What am I doing? Miranda is awesome? 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:10.120 I don't even know where that well, so that would 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:11.280 be a good chance to get to know her letter 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.320 you can ask her about her little aphorisms like by 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.360 the fly of your seat. Yeah, I'm gonna make a note, Noel, 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:21.240 Miranda Randa Hawkins, that's the one. All right. Now, we're 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.800 gonna go ahead and just jump right in here. Um. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.320 This week, we have a couple of things to go over, 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.600 and one of them bears a little bit of explanation, 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:36.679 I think, and that I asked the crushers what their 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:41.720 favorite meat cute is. Do you want to define meat cute? 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.920 And then I'll go over the history a bit I 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.960 just described just to find it to somebody very recently. Um, 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.480 so I'm fresh with this terminology. It's it's a I 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:56.880 would say, a a dramatic device wherein a bond is 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.920 established between the audience and a couple to be because 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.520 they run into each other and encountering each other in 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.160 a quirky or memorable way. Yeah, there you go. It 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.519 can be. Oh, they accidentally ran headlong into each other 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.679 and fell down on their butts and and maybe there's 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.920 a moment where they were upset, but then they caught 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.040 the glint in each other's eyes and it all was, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.280 you know, downhill from there. Um, yeah, they eat cute. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:25.440 It's a Hollywood tradition. I'm reading this straight from Wikipedia, Knoll, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.880 because that's something that we're not allowed to do. Well, 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.000 we choose not to do on stuff. You should know, 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.760 we don't even use Wikipedia. But I don't care about 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.280 using Wikipedia for this transparency, my friend. The origin of 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.120 the term is unknown, but appears to have been familiar familiarly. 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.079 Oh god, this is why we don't read from Wikipedia. Chuck, Familiarly. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.760 That's a hard word to say. It is a familiar familiarly. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.600 It is really hard. It's got a lot of weird 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.120 like familiarly. What's the word vowel like roller coaster? You 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.880 things in the middle. Hate that word. It's not good 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.880 that they could have just said. Associated with Hollywood screenwriting 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.040 by at least one earliest example given to the Oxford 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.080 English Dictionary is Anthony Boucher's mystery novel The Case of 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.680 the Solid Key in forty one, in which a character says, 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:16.519 we met cute as they say in story conferences. As 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.200 this example implies, the term was already well known, and 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:25.720 in Paris Review interview, Billy Wilder, great screenwriter, referred to 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:31.919 his ninety eight screwball comedy film blue Beard's Eighth Wife. Um, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.840 and these characters meet while shopping for pajamas. One has 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.080 is looking for a pajama top, the other pajama bottom. 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.080 That kind of personifies the meat cute. He says that 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.360 concept was a staple of romantic comedies back then, and 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.960 George Axelrod's play Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter a character explains, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.120 dear boy at the beginning of a movie is childishly simple. 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.800 The boy and girl meet. The only important thing to 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.400 remember is that in a movie, the boy and the 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.480 girl must meet in some cute way. They cannot meet 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.800 like normal people. All Right, Well, that's like, like I said, 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.040 I mean, it's it's because it makes it memorable for 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.240 the audience and it implies, you know, everybody, what does 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.640 everybody want out of a relationship? They want some kind 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.000 of quirky you know, stars aligne kind of magic, and 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.040 that's how you established that from the start, right, Yeah, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.640 And it's I think it's also a a bit of 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:30.600 a screenwriter challenge to come up with something good that 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.560 no one's seen before, and good that really hooks people 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.320 and you immediately want, uh, these people to get together. 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.680 Like when Harry met Sally, their meat cute was the 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.600 fact that they were paired together to drive to New 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.560 York and didn't like each other very much. Um. I've tried. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.720 I've written a meet cute or two in my day, 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.760 and it's it's a challenge. It's not easy to write 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.000 a good one because they all seem kind of canned 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.599 and hokey, but they can't seem that. And uh, I 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.320 don't know. The term meet cute just makes me think 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:06.080 of cute meat, um for some reason, just like a 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.680 really cute slab of beef. Oh good lord, have you 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.320 ever seen the movie Dead Alive, the early Peter Jackson 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.760 movie with a long saw in college. There's a part 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.520 where like there's like a like an animated piece of 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.760 meat that keeps popping up and at one point it's 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.839 looking at itself in the mirror and kind of preening. 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:29.719 I always think of that as the the quintessential cute meat. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.400 for sure. Um yeah, they are tough to write because 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.440 what I think you really also depend on. It's gotta 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.320 be good writing and stuff, but the performance has got 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:42.640 to be there, you know, or else you're doomed. Alright, 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.560 we're gonna start it off with Lillian Rolf probably really cheesy, 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.320 but and and Kristof's early scenes from Frozen not cheesy, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.360 great meat cute? But isn't that exactly that? Don't they 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.320 like bumble around a little bit or like they there's 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.560 like a fall, like a like a pratt fall of 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:05.760 some sort when they meet, like involving think um, Molly, Molly, 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:12.120 Thibodeaux comments and says absolutely he calls her insane too. Uh, yeah, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.080 it is good stuff. They were friends first, that's good stuff. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.120 Let me see here. Courtney Hoober says, you've got Mayo. 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.760 When Tom Hanks takes his aunt and little brother to 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.039 meet to the Street Fair and the children's bookstory and 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.960 meets Meg Ryan, the little brother can spell f o 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.800 x because that's his name, not the animal. Can you 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:37.960 spell dog fo x? That was very cute. And what 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:43.200 sound does the fox make? No one knows. Benjamin Clement says, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.119 Julia Styles and Heath ledgeren ten things that hate about 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:51.839 you and Helena Norton Pitt in Fight Club. Uh, that 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.479 was a That was David Fincher's version of a meet cute. 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.599 That's what I'm saying, more like a cute meat you know, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.960 if you ask me. Yeah, but also with you know, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.360 it's not a traditional meat cute. He had his own 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.000 spin on it, which was they were going to um. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.360 I think the first one was like a cancer was 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.560 a cancer, and then there was alcoholics anonymous and you know, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.880 like narcotics narcotics anonymous and all that kind of stuff. Uh. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.840 Sadie Broilette says, Han Solo and Princess Leiah into the 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:25.960 garbage shoot Flyboy, great idea, What an incredible smell you've discovered. Yeah, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.280 that's good stuff too. I know you hate Star Wars, 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.840 but I don't hate Star Wars. I know you love 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.160 Harry Potter more than don't love Harry Potter. I'm I'm, I'm, 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:38.480 I'm firmly in the middle with both of those. I 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.040 really like The Mandalorian, though I have still yet to 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.760 start the new season. It's it's happening soon. Are you called? 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.760 Are you fresh? Are you called? Not all the way. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.239 There's apparently some big ship that happens in the Latin 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.000 the last two episodes, so I haven't seen, but I 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.640 really quite like all Right, I can't wait. Becca Lou 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.880 says the explanation of a meat cute scene in The 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.560 Holiday between Kate Winslett and Eli Wallack. It's just the 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.800 sweetest scene. I think it qualifies as a meat cute. Yeah. 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.920 I agree, And you know what, I'll go out here 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.760 and say it. No, I liked The Holiday. The Holiday. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.120 I don't know. The Holiday is a holiday film. Kate Winslet, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.800 Yep and uh Jack Black and Cameron Diaz and Jude Law. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.320 They do one of those house swaps. Cammie Diaz as 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.920 an actor in l A and she swaps house with 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.040 an English countryside cottage with Kate Winslet and they both 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.640 end up falling in love in their respective places. And uh, 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.120 it is it is actually a very hate saying this, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.120 but it's a very cute, romantic comedy. I liked it 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:44.760 The Holiday from two thousand six. Yeah, it's a good movie. 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:49.640 Classic already. Okay, I mean good actors. Oh, definitely have 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.680 you seen We should probably save this for a stream 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.840 this segment. But there's a there's a new series on 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.600 HBO with Jude Laan it called The Third Day and 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.400 it's sort of like a wicker Man and Culti kind 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.360 of thing. It's a mini series. Uh and as Jude 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.679 Law really kicking ass. It's really really really good, very 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.520 physical role. Um. If you're in a spooky ship, highly 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.040 recommend The Third Day. All right, I'll check that out. 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.880 Kelly Ferris Mark says Bridget Jones's Diary when Bridget Mark 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.680 meat while she's wearing her mom's outfit and he's wearing 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:25.360 a ridiculous Christmas sweater. Yeah that was good. These make 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.000 me happy. No, that's what the meat kids all about, 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.920 making Chuck happy. The device was invented exclusively to make 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:36.720 Chuck happy. Make people happy. The people a people Brittany story, 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.920 one of our oldest palas, says Little Women version, Joe 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:46.280 clumsily stumbles into Laurie while trying to escape a party, 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.920 and it was pretty adorable. Fast forward to a few 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.600 minutes later when they're dancing like fools behind the scenes 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.679 after realizing they had an instant connection went on a 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.360 writer and Christian Bale were so charming and had the 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.080 best banter in this adaptation. I I still haven't seen 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.800 the new one, which everyone really loved, the Grettit Girlwig one. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.640 Did you see it? I did. I loved it, you 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:07.480 loved it. I remember that, and I really want to 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.600 see it now. That'd be a good holiday movie, right, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.080 it would be a good family kind of holiday. Yeah, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.520 there's a little little Christmas action going on in there. 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.600 I think I wouldn't say it's a Christmas movie, but 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.480 I believe there is a It is a feel good movie, though, 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.360 right it's nothing like super depressing happens like there maybe is. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:28.920 There's there's there's a pretty devastating yeah, forget it then, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.240 but it's good. What are you thinking about watching it 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.360 like for your family this holiday? Yeah? No, I mean 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.600 it's I'd say it. Throw it on the list. Everything 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.240 turns out okay in the end, though, right chuck? Well 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.079 for for most of them, nobody dies in the consumption? 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:47.720 Do they chuck? Not of consumption? God? No, there there 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.680 I don't want to spoil. Uh. There are some sad part, 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:56.200 got it one very sad part. Amanda Grossman says, serendipity. 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.960 I never saw that one. That's the John Qusak Kate 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.640 Beckinsale thing. Um, She says, I love that movie and 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.400 the idea of everything happening when it's supposed to. And 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.920 I mean Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack aren't bad either. Uh. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.560 Them meeting over the last pair of gloves in the 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.760 store while last minute Chris Christmas shopping is such a 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.679 meat cute. Okay, that's a great example totally, that's exactly right. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.160 And the gloves. They reached for the gloves and at 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.640 first maybe there's a little consternation where it's like, hey, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.280 these are my gloves. Sorry I was here first, and 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.280 then before you know it, start up a conversation and 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.360 and and to your point to chuck with when Harry 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.240 mess Sally. A lot of time, these meat cutes start 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.800 with like the characters hating each other, and then it 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.520 gives you somewhere to go. Otherwise it's like boring. If 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.400 they loves like Billy Crystal and Meg RNs. I mean, 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:43.880 they didn't hate each other, but she thought he was 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:48.320 very annoying. I thought Harry was very annoying. I wonder 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.040 if any at any point in that meat cute with serendipity, 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.760 if they thought about splitting those gloves up and each 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.480 getting a glove, that'd be pretty cute. That'd be pretty cute, 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.680 but not very functional. Chuck, it's very cold in New York. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.160 No nol, but the scene is that scene ends with 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.280 him walking down the goddamn sidewalk holding hands with the 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.840 gloved hand and their other hand in each of their 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:13.720 own pockets. How cute? Is this really cute? They really 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.840 dropped the ball? Or if you want to get even sex, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.240 or you can do the seventies eighties thing where you 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.080 put your hand in the back pocket of your mate. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.080 No but I but I would argue that's too quick 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.160 for them to be holding hands Chuck, where are we 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.200 gonna go from there? Straight intercourse? I mean, come on 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:34.080 straight too hardcore banging nole. Oh no, that's true. That's 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.520 a good point, but maybe that happens later on, you know, 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.560 with your gloves. I wrote that first. Everyone. Oh, I 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.080 bet she's been used. I don't know, I've never seen it. 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.000 Vanessa been too, says I would say, true romance. Oh yeah. 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.560 The scenes inside the cinema and then in his house 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.400 are great. Yeah, that was great, those early scenes with 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.560 the Christians. Later and Patricia Arquette. It's been a hot 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.200 menus since I've seen that. I don't really remember much 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.360 plot stuff from that. I need to get someone in 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.920 here to do that movie. Yeah, it's good. We're gonna say. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:12.200 I was just gonna I've got another good one that 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.840 I watched for the first time in many years the 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.679 other night. Um The Fisher King, which is I think 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.680 one of Terry Gilliam's best because it encompasses all of 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:22.880 his weird ship but also all of his like more 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.640 accessible sensibilities into like one movie. Uh, it's not so 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.160 dark that it's unpleasant, and it's not so like you know, romancy, 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.240 or that it's trite but Robin Williams character who plays 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.240 this like this homeless man, um he's in love with 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.040 Amanda Plumber's character, who's this quirky office worker, kind of 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.439 sad loner, and he's basically stalking her. But it's adorable 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:50.640 because he's really genuinely in love with her, And uh, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.960 that's kind of it's not really a me cube, but 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.440 it's sort of like he's preparing for it, like he's 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.120 watching er. He knows exactly her routine, and then eventually 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.720 eventually they are they are. There is an arranged meat 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.200 cute where he is like posing as a video store 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.760 worker at this video store that Jack what's his name, 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.160 Jeff Bridges girlfriend runs and they make it where she 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.280 wins some competition and she comes in and he's the 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.960 video store clerk and they're like, she's looking for a 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.160 movie on the shelf and they both keep knocking all 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.360 the video boxes off the shelf and scrambling. That's a 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.760 meat cute, even if it's like originalized, that's definitely a 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.720 meet cute. No, it totally is. Maddie and I crushed 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.880 that one out not too long ago. Uh, Maddie Frederick, 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.960 it was really good, super partner, fabulous, fabulous movie. Michael 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.240 Fank says, out of sight with Clooney and Lopez and 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.600 the trunk of that car. Talking about movies, beautiful scene, Yeah, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:44.520 that is uh that's less cute. Uh. In the Googe, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.600 David Gooch points that out. I think it's still counts 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.600 in that category, but it's just not super cute. It 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.400 is hot. I was about to see Yah. Yeah that 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.080 that that there's some parts in that movie that are 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.960 the chemistry is U is quite intense. Yeah, but a great, 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.760 great scene. One of my favorites is that. I haven't 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.120 seen that since it came out. Oh dude, do yourself 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.560 a favorite seat again? That do a double bill with that? 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:12.960 In the Lime, which I know you haven't seen you 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.000 I have seen the lie Me. Oh you did? I 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:16.960 thought you did not? Did you see it recently? Now? 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:18.920 I saw a long time ago by al right, I 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.640 misremember I hadn't seen it for a long time. And 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.320 then this girl that I dated for a while, it 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.040 was like one of her favorite movies and she had 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:26.880 it on DVD and we watched it, so I quite 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.040 liked it. I think Josh hasn't seen the Limy. Maybe 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.240 that's what I'm thinking that might be Fox Matthew says, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.240 Gen Wilder and Jill Claybourg and Silver Streak. I love 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.440 the line. I know what goes where and why Silver 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:45.200 Streak one of those uh Richard pryor Gene Wilder vehicles. 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.760 And it's literally about a train, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.720 I mean I haven't seen a long time, but it 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.560 is about a train. I think it features a train heavily. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.600 Amy Crowd says, I like the Big Sick when she 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:01.720 heckles him during his show. Yeah, Big Sick was great that. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.240 I don't want to be that guy, the shlubby you know, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.000 podcast guy that's upset because normal looking comedian is now 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:13.560 fucking you always complained about him.

I'll never look like 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:46.040 that in the whole I mean, I want to drop 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.640 some weight, but I'm not the kind of guy that's 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.720 ever gonna be muscle and have six back at I 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.880 don't think. I don't care. Yeah, I don't care. I 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.360 just look I'm not. I'm just gonna get on my 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.280 tiny soapbox. Just for like two seconds, I was at 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.520 my like most like proud of myself way pre COVID 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.600 and then like I kind of like let it go, 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.960 and I'm I'm I've I've just ordered myself a fitbit 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.280 because I really like the gamification of like exercise as 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.600 something about it like does something for my brain. So 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:16.440 I've got that coming in a couple of days. Um, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.240 I'm excited about that. So I'm gonna get back on 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.679 the horse. Yeah you know what. No, I've decided I 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:24.520 have to do exercise that I enjoy as an activity 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:28.040 and not just get on the spinning bike. That's okay, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.359 I will do that, But I'm gonna I'm gonna get 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.440 some golf clubs for Christmas, which I haven't played golf. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:35.760 I used to play golf all the time. I haven't 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.760 played golf in like twenty years, but I used to 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.119 love playing golf and walking around playing eighteen holes of 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:44.159 golf is good exercise. So that is a new activity 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.600 I'm gonna do. And uh, I just need to find 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.119 one more. I got a basketball. Basketball is good. I 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.600 love basketball. Shoot some hoops. Yeah. I used to be 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.600 pretty good at basketball. You believe that. I do believe that. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.359 Could you see that? In absolutely? Yeah? That was a 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.159 point guard I was. I was okay. I wasn't like varsity. 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:11.120 Uh okay, like high school varsity. Okay, because our high 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.240 school had a really really good basketball team. But um, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:15.959 I kind of tore up the church league, you know. 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.800 How was the competition not bad? You know, but it's 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.359 church league, so there's a range there. There were a 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.240 few guys that are are pretty good, and then there's 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.400 the kid that's picking his nose and like dribbles off 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.320 his foot every time he touches the ball. So that 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.000 that was a beauty of church sports. It was. It 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.840 was fun. It was a nice range. All right. Let's 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.000 do a couple of more here on the old meat cute, 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:46.920 Kent Negrette, welcome, Kent. I don't think I know you yet. Yeah, 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:48.679 not a traditional meat cute, but in the Royal Tin 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.320 and Bombs, when Margot gets off that green bus line, 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.600 and Richie is waiting for They stare at each other 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.200 and Nico sings these Days in the background. Total goose bumps. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.120 I love that scene. It's only it's I mean, it's 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.240 only my wildly tempered by the fact that they're siblings, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.280 you know, only only adopted siblings. Oh that's right, I forgot. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.440 That's the was that great line when Royal when he's 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.040 he tells Royal he says something about it being legal, 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.480 and he's like, I think it is, and he has 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.760 well as he says something about it. Well, it's at 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.399 least frowned upon, right, but he was kind of like, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.919 who cares exactly? Yeah, not quite a meat cute, but 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.879 that is a great scene worth noting. Yeah, well, let 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:28.560 let's let's calva at this. I would say, a meat 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.960 cute needs to be a first ever meeting. Yeah, that's 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.639 what it's supposed to be. Uh. And then on our 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.280 old pal let's finish up. Um, let's finish up with 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.960 a couple of these. The Bambo Debt says five Days 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.040 of Summer. As soon as Summer began singing along to 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.159 the music he was listening to in his headphones and 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.639 the elevator they shared he knew he had to be 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.760 with her. Yeah, wasn't that a Smith song? I don't 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.040 recall I seem to remember that being a Smith song. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.080 I might be remembering that wrong. That was with Joseph 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.639 Gordon Levitt, right, yeah? And what's her face? The manager 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:05.600 in z d yep oh man. Um. I watched Elf 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.560 again the other night, um, after having seen it for 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:10.600 the first time. You and I you know, it was 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.680 a thing, a challenge from you, and uh, it is 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.120 a truly a delightful film. I I laughed many times, 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.000 I had the fields, enjoyed it very much. And I 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.560 don't really care for holiday movies, but that one really 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.119 does it for me because it's it's greater than just that. 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.760 You know. Sometimes holiday movies are branded that way, almost 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.480 as like a caveat or it's like it's not that good, 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.440 but it's a holiday movie, you know, right, Well, most 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.880 of them aren't that great exactly, but Elf is definitely great. 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.080 And my need to shout out my friends daughters, my 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.479 friend Eddie and Alice and their daughters. Um, who were 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:47.200 you know, like my daughters grown up with them or 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.199 they've grown up around me, you know what I mean? 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.720 I was already old when they were born. Uh Nina 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.399 and Emlyn did uh. He sent in us videos the 0:20:55.440 --> 0:21:00.399 other night of them recreating um buddies dance in the 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.800 mail room, and they each did it, and it was honestly, 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.320 and Emily and I had had a couple of glasses 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.440 of wine. We died laughing. It was very, very funny 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.000 to see a couple of cute little girls doing that 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.680 that buddy the elf dance that clearly involved some like 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.800 wire work when you say, like it did. And because 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:22.119 they are young and uh nimble, they were able to 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.880 sort of approximate that last bit with the wire work 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.480 in a in a pretty fun way. That's amazing. But 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.880 it was a lot of fun. And I thought maybe 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.680 I should try that and see how many muscles I 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:37.200 pulled it. All right, that's it. Oh no, we're gonna 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.840 finish with one more. Old pal Charles Martin Acres says, 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.520 do short films count? Well, of course they do, he said, 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.000 the Pixar animation short Paperman. It's a whole lot of 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.600 fields the Paperman. I don't think I've seen that, have you. 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.400 It's a short, that's what he said. Picks are short, 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:58.320 the Paperman. No, I have not not to be confused 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:02.359 with Spiderman, John Spiderman, Attorney at law. I ordered that 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.840 Spiderman game. I asked you the Crushers what I needed. 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:08.639 I finished Last of Us too, so I needed some 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:10.680 new games and they had a lot of great Rex 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.440 Noel and I ordered Uh, Day's End, which is another 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:19.399 zombie thing. I ordered Ghost of Shoeshima supposed to be great. 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:25.000
