Yes, okay, I watched 213 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: one movie this week. It's a long movie and it's 214 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: a little movie called The Brutalist. I watched The Brutalist. 215 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: I have a lot of thoughts. Have you seen it? 216 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: No? 217 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 2: I haven't. Okay, Well, I'm not gonna spoil anything for 218 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: you here. The Brutalist is about a brutalist architect who 219 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: comes to America after World War Two and kind of 220 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: has to He's like honored and celebrated in Europe, but 221 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: like he comes to America with nothing. He's played by 222 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 2: Adrian Brody and last night he won an Academy Award 223 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: for this movie. And the score one which it should have. 224 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: The score is excellent. In this movie, and I think, oh, 225 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: the eye roll. 226 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: The thing. 227 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: It's really well acted, and there are things I really 228 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 2: liked about this movie. I think it has a lot 229 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 2: to say about beauty and elegance and who gets to 230 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: control that? Who gets to have access to beauty and elegance? 231 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: And why do you always have to collaborate with the 232 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: ultra wealthy in order to create great works of beauty? 233 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: Why does that always have to happen? And sort of 234 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: the painful process of that. I think that's all really interesting. 235 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 2: You know, That's like something I'm very fascinated with. 236 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: It's a good question. 237 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: Now. 238 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, now this movie, I feel like everyone's like the 239 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 2: second half sucks and I wouldn't go that far, but 240 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: this movie does not know how to land of the plane. 241 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: And something's happen in this movie where I'm like, yes, 242 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: I understand, this is what you're saying, but you're kind 243 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 2: of hitting the nail on the head a little too hard. 244 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 2: You know, it's a little too on the nose. And 245 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: this isn't a spoiler, but I think sometimes movies like 246 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 2: to use drug addiction as sort of a shortcut for 247 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: this guy's having a hard time, yes, you know, and 248 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: it sort of cheapens it a little bit. Sure, and 249 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 2: so that happens in this movie, and you're kind of like, 250 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like the central message of 251 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: what or what it was trying to say in the 252 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: beginning of the movie, and for most of the movie 253 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: is interesting enough that it didn't need to incorporate those elements. 254 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 2: But there are there are some really beautiful scenes and 255 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 2: moments that really moved me. And so I do think 256 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: it's worth watching. And I will say I was never 257 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: bored watching it. And it's like three and a half 258 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: hours long, so it does move along in a good way. 259 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: But I just don't think it quite landed the plane. 260 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: As I said earlier. 261 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: So are you a fan of brutalist architecture? 262 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I am. I like that kind of look. 263 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: I think that's cool. I think I wouldn't say I'm 264 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: like an architecture head. I don't really know. 265 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: You lived for nineteen years, you to know shit about architecture? 266 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: Come on, well, I guess I do. I know you 267 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: know some stuff. I went on an architecture tour downtown 268 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: and it was fun, and but yeah, I think brutalist 269 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 2: architecture is kind of awe inspiring in a way and 270 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: interesting and thought provoking. And I feel like buildings made 271 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: nowadays look like shit, and really, you know, there's like 272 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: a I didn't make this up, but people are like, 273 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: in twenty years, there's not gonna be any vintage clothing 274 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: because all the clothing we're making now is shitty. You know, 275 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: I'm badly made so And I sort of feel that 276 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: way about buildings, where it's like, God, fifty years from now, 277 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 2: what are gonna be the great buildings of our time 278 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: that were built now? 279 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: None, None of them, because they're all gonna be like 280 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: apartment buildings with like chipotles on the bottom of them 281 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: and shit exactly. 282 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no. But The Brutalist is the thing. 283 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: I wanted to watch it this week because I felt like, 284 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: for some reason, I was like, after the Oscars, I'm 285 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: gonna have feel no desire to watch it after that, 286 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: so I have to watch it in anticipation of the Oscars. 287 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: Well, good, you did, you did your due diligence.

It was a little bit of 290 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: like a broccoli movie where I'm like, I need to 291 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: watch this for for my health, I guess, and it 292 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: was made for ten million dollars and I feel like 293 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: they really squeezed every single penny out of that movie. 294 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: And yeah, that's what I gotta say about the Brutalist. 295 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's move on to our main discussion. 296 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: Let's close the film diary. Close it really dated period 297 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: at the end of your sentence and look it up. 298 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: I exploded it, all right, Moving on to our main discussion. 299 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: Aaron Brockovic, Steven Soderberg, Like you said, it's the twenty 300 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: fifth anniversary of when this movie came out, which is 301 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: sort of astounding to me. I think something that was 302 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: kind of crazy watching this movie when it came out. 303 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: Maybe this is a stupid thing to say, but when 304 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: it came out, Julia Roberts had been around for a while, 305 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: and so it kind of felt like, oh, she's hitting 306 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: like her late career kind of or it felt like 307 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: that at the time. Yeah that's not that's not my opinion, 308 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: but it sort of felt like that's how people were 309 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: talking about her. Yeah, you know, and then watching this movie, 310 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: I was like, this is a baby on screen. She's 311 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: thirty three years old. She looks fabulous, she's never looked better. 312 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 2: And uh so that was just sort of a funny, 313 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: Like I'd never seen it before, so watching it, I 314 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: was kind of like thinking about how it was when 315 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: that movie came out twenty five years ago and kind 316 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: of reassessing it. 317 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, reminiscing. So give us like a rundown of what 318 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: Aaron Brockvich is about for people who haven't seen it. 319 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're gonna get in. Don't worry, We're gonna 320 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: get into the Steven Soderberg stuff, but let's just jump 321 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: right into the Aaron Brockovich of it all. So Aaron 322 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: Brockovich is based on a real person, and her name 323 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: is Aaron Brockovich, and she's only seven years older than 324 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: Julia Roberts, which is sort of interesting that you'd make 325 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: a movie about someone like essentially your same age. But 326 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: she was a down on her luck, single mother of three, 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: and she takes a job as a pair illegal with 328 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: the law firm Masri and the Vetito, and she works 329 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: as an assistant to Ed Masri, played by the wonderful 330 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 2: Albert Finney. And while she's going through some records, she 331 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: uncovers that the utility company Pacific Gas and Electric They 332 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: are responsible for contaminating the drinking water of the small 333 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: town of Hinckley, California, and they contaminated with something called 334 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: hexavillent chromium. And basically all these people in this town 335 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: get sick, a lot of them get cancer. But because 336 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: of her gumption, because of her hard work and no 337 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: nonsense attitude, she and ed Masri put together a lawsuit 338 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: against PG and E. And you know, a lot of 339 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: this movie is putting that lawsuit together, getting the inhabitants 340 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: of Hinckley to testify, all while having three fucking kids 341 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: with their fathers not involved with their lives at all. 342 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: I think different fathers, but I can't remember exactly, but 343 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: or like two of them are from the same dad 344 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: or anyways, she's she's balancing a lot of stuff all 345 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 2: at once, and yeah, that is Aaron Brockovich. 346 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Well, I have to also say ed ed Masury is 347 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: played by the great actor Albert Finney, who is one 348 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: of my favorite actors because he was you know, I 349 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: loved him in his early period when he was doing like, yeah, 350 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: like British New Way for the Roads, Yeah, and like 351 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. Was one of my favorite movies. 352 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: Ever. 353 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: You should all see that movie, by the way. But anyway, 354 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: he's great in that movie too. 355 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: Oh he's amazing. Yeah. Just on that note about Albert Finny, 356 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: the uh they're really I mean, the whole the center 357 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: of this movie is really the relationship between Julie Roberts 358 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: and Albert Finny, their characters Aaron Brockovich and Ed Mazrii, 359 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: and the screenwriter Susannah Grant said this about the movie. Structurally, 360 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 2: it's a love story. It's not a romantic love story, obviously, 361 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: but it's interpersonal love story. And you really feel that 362 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: when you watch this movie that it's like these two 363 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: like really they fight a lot, but they like love 364 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: each other. Yeah. And the reason and the reason that 365 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 2: because this is one of those things where Ed Masury 366 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: could have been. It's like a lot of hard work 367 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: to like put this shit together, and it's like optional. 368 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: They could be like, let's just not fucking pursue this. 369 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 2: This might end up getting none of the inhabitants of 370 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: Hinckley any money, But because of Aaron Brockovich and Ed 371 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: Mazury's relationship, they push forward and get it done. And 372 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: the settlement they got for Hinckley was three hundred and 373 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 2: thirty three million dollars, which is the largest settlement ever 374 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: paid in a direct action lawsuit in the United States 375 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: to that point. So this was like a very historic 376 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 2: case and it was just because of this woman and 377 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: Ed Mazury putting this all together. And yeah, it was 378 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: an incredible It's an incredible movie. I loved it so much. 379 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: How do you feel about Julia Roberts? What's your relationship 380 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 2: with her? 381 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: Okay, first, what you know that Julia Roberts is literally 382 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: from my neck. 383 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 2: Of the woods.

Right with 409 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: Julia Roberts, I actually love her. I think that as 410 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: like a super famous global movie star. She's pretty good, 411 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying. Like, she's not irritating, 412 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: She's very chill to me. I think she's completely charming 413 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: and seems normal. I know that sounds weird to say. 414 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: She seems like kind of what you can imagine her 415 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: like being in the world, where yeah, I can't imagine 416 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: some other others, some very very high profile actress and actresses. 417 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: You know. I heard an interview with her recently where 418 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: she was talking about how she posted a picture of 419 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: her and Emma Roberts at like Julia Roberts's house and 420 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: they were like having coffee or something. It was like 421 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: a very casual photo and she just posted it like 422 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: on her Instagram or stuff something, and Julia Roberts was 423 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: talking about how as soon as she posted it, everyone 424 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 2: was like, Julia, you look like shit. God, what's wrong? 425 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 2: You need to put on some makeup. You look like shit. 426 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: And there's like saying horrible stuff to her, and Julie 427 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: Roberts was basically saying, like, now, I'm an older woman 428 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: now and I don't really care what people think, but 429 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: can you imagine if you were a young person receiving 430 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: that kind of evil commentary on your Instagram page. She's like, 431 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 2: it's tough out there for these young actors. And I 432 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: don't know, I thought that was like a very sweet sentiment. 433 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 2: And you don't really hear like that high profile of 434 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 2: a celebrity talk about social media or like interacting with 435 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 2: social media. So I found it very refreshing and it 436 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: made me like her even more. 437 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, she's totally likable. And maybe I'm saying, 438 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: maybe I'm making the equation that because she is from Georgia, 439 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: she's likable or something like where I'm like, oh, she's 440 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: from the South, Like she just seems kind of like yeah, 441 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, like how crazy can you actually be? I mean, 442 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: you could be Southern crazy, which we all are, but 443 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: it's also like you can't. There's always going to be 444 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: some sort of route that's down in the ground. I 445 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: feel like if you're from the South. And I think 446 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: that about a lot of Southern celebrities, by the way, 447 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: not just her. I think most people who are famous 448 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: who are from the South have, like I said, a 449 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: route or two down in the ground. All of this 450 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: is to say, like her, I got to tell you 451 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: about Aaron Brockvich. Generally, Aaron Brockovich to me seems like 452 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: a movie that is as a Julia Roberts movie is 453 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: the one that brings the folks together in my life. 454 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: But I think even beyond, like everybody likes Aaron Brockovich, 455 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: like people of all different stations in life, right, Like 456 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who you are, Like most people can 457 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: come together on the fact that they think that Aaron 458 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: Brockvich is a good movie. 459 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know if you think that's well, 460 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: I think that is true because you know, like, and 461 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: this is not to disparage any of these movies, Like 462 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: these are movies I like, like Notting Hill, my best 463 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: Friend's Wedding, and Julia Roberts is very funny and charming 464 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 2: in those movies. But I think what happens with those movies, 465 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: which happens a lot, is like they're kind of labeled 466 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: as women's movies, you know. And so I feel like 467 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: Aaron Brockovich though, is like utilizing the charm and sas 468 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 2: that she has in those movies and portrayed in those movies, 469 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: but is elevating it slightly to a like Oscar nominated film, 470 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 2: you know. And so I think it it allows there 471 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: to be a larger audience of people who would gravitate 472 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 2: towards that movie that maybe they didn't like, wouldn't gravitate 473 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: towards like Mystic Pizza or like, yeah, my best Friend's wedding, 474 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, but this movie is you know, speaking 475 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 2: of the Oscars, you know, it's fun that Anora just 476 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: won because not that Aaron Brockovic is similar to Anora 477 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: in any way, but they're both human movies with comedy 478 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: in them, yes, and that type of movie I just 479 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: feel like we aren't getting enough of those now where 480 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: they're you know, like mid budget dramas that type, this 481 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: type of film, like an Aaron Brockovic is like, I 482 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: meant there, we should have like twenty of these a year. 483 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: It feels like, you know, and it just met. It 484 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: kind of made me like miss a different era of 485 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: the film industry a little bit. Yeah, so that was 486 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 2: That was some thoughts I had when I was watching 487 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: it this time. 488 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. I also think, if it may 489 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: be so bold, they should give an Oscar to the 490 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: best facial hair in movies. 491 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: Okay, well then I just I don't think this movie 492 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: would have won that Oscar, because. 493 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: You know won. 494 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: I when Aaron Eckert and I had not seen this 495 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: movie before.

Wow, maybe nineteen ninety seven. 549 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: It might have been, but you know, but that's when 550 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: I first figured out who he was. And I was like, 551 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: this movie is so fucking crazy and weird and fun. 552 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 2: I have not seen Schizopolis. 553 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: What but. 554 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 2: I have not seen it. It's I got you. But 555 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: his breakout movie was Sex Lies and Videotape, which was 556 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 2: came out in nineteen eighty nine, and he won the 557 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: Palma Door at the Canned Film Festival, which is like 558 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: the highest honor a film can really get. Anora also 559 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: won the Palmador. But you know, he kind of has 560 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 2: to me in my mind, he has sort of two 561 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: separate careers. Sure he has like the nineties and early 562 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 2: two thousands when he was like, I wouldn't say like 563 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 2: a Hollywood director, but a lot of his movies were 564 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: nominated for Academy Awards, you know, and he did movies 565 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: like Oceans of Aaron Brockovich, Out of Sight, Traffic, and 566 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 2: like Traffic and Aaron Brokovic were both nominated. I believe 567 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 2: for Best Picture in the same year, or he was 568 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: nominated for Best Director for both of those movies in 569 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 2: the same year, and so he was kind of like 570 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 2: not a Hollywood guy, but maybe a more artsier mainstream 571 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: guy working within the Hollywood system. But then I feel 572 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: like around two thousand and five ish, he's The thing 573 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: about Steven Soderberg is that he is a innovative director 574 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 2: in terms of how a movie gets made and released. 575 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 2: He made a movie in two thousand and five called Bubble, 576 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 2: which I have not seen this movie, but it was 577 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: one of the first, if not the first movie that 578 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 2: was released in theaters and on cable on the exact 579 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 2: same day. So it was released for home viewing audiences 580 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 2: and the theater on the exact same day, which is 581 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 2: pretty revolutionary thinking. And then you know the development of 582 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: better digital cameras and the camera on the iPhone. He's 583 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: shot several films on an iPhone that are like excellent films, 584 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: like the movie Unsane or twenty nineteen's High Flying Bird. 585 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 2: All those are excellent movies and he shot them on 586 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 2: an iPhone. But like movies like Magic Mike, he shot himself. 587 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 2: He was the camera operator, cinematographer, and like he just 588 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: doesn't feel like he needs those. He just kind of 589 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 2: breaks down film to its barest parts, you know, And yeah, 590 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 2: he's kind of a wild man. Am I missing anything 591 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 2: that describes who he is as a person. 592 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: I think he did a great job.

Like 668 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: Steven Soderberg is not a perfectionist. He's like, okay, got it, 669 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 2: we're good, moving on. And they've talked about how like 670 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 2: with some of his movies, he'll edit while he's filming, 671 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 2: and the movie will be edited by the time the movie, 672 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 2: like the day of the movie is done filming, Like 673 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: he just knows exactly what he wants and doesn't really 674 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: worry about all the extra outside noise and just gets 675 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: down to brass tacks and he just he makes movies 676 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 2: at an incredible clip. There are probably like ten movies 677 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 2: I've never heard of that he's made, you know, So 678 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 2: I find him incredibly inspiring, and I think it just 679 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: goes to show that like you can make a really 680 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 2: great movie with just an iPhone. Yeah, really you can. 681 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,399 Speaker 2: Steven Soderberg did it several times over. 682 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey talk him out of Nora. Shaan Baker did 683 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 1: that too, So he did. But I want to I 684 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: want to say two things about Steven Soderberg before we 685 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: wrap this up. Number one, my favorite thing that he 686 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 1: does is actually when he lists out all of the movies, 687 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: TV shows and books that he consumes. 688 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 2: This made me like him a hundred times more. Me too, 689 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 2: Me too, writes down everything he has watched, include, yeah, 690 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 2: television shows and like consumed, like you said, books, everything. 691 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 2: And we aligned on several TV shows, Yeah, one of 692 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 2: which was Below Deck. Wed that show, I'm. 693 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 1: Going to be like, what are you a dumb ass? 694 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 1: Of course is seeing Below Deck. I'm a Bravo. 695 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 2: I like a Vanner Pump. 696 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: How could you not see Blow to Hell if you're 697 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: in a vander Pump? He was in the Vanner Pump too, though, 698 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: right didn't. 699 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he watches it all. Yeah, 700 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 2: I know. I love that He's incredible. 701 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: I feel like more directors and and general famous people 702 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,280 Speaker 1: should do that. Like I want to see a rolling 703 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,919 Speaker 1: list of the ship that you watch and you read. 704 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: I want to know that you read. 705 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 2: You gotta total. 706 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: You got to tell me if you read. And not 707 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: just that, but tell me the books that you read. 708 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't care what they are, just list everything, make 709 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: a document and then publish it so we know. That's 710 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: what I want. 711 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 2: I think. I think that just shows how like Intelli 712 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 2: he is because he and confident he is, because it's like, 713 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: oh yeah, this is everything I watch and it's like 714 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: multiple seasons of Below Deck this year, and it's like 715 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 2: someone who is maybe self conscious about their intelligence or 716 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 2: how that came across as an artist, you know, wouldn't 717 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 2: put that out for everybody to see. But that's what 718 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 2: makes him so great. He's just like this is it's 719 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 2: you know, he's not a pretentious guy, but he's still 720 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 2: making incredible art every day. So there's that. 721 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: And then the second thing I will say about Steven 722 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: Soderberg is that I'm I've been friends with his brother 723 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: for like over a whoa or more what? Yeah, And 724 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think Charlie's listening. I don't. 725 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, probably not. 726 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 2: But we have never talked about that. You've never talked 727 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 2: about that his brother is Stephen. 728 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 4: Because I just. 729 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: Don't feel like I I mean, okay, let's get serious. 730 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: He probably knows that I know who he is because uh, 731 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: I fucking worked at TCM for twenty years. I worked 732 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: in the film I do a film podcast. Yeah, there's 733 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: there's an awareness. I wrote a paper about magic Mike 734 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: like he like for grad school. 735 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: He knows that I know. 736 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: Yes, he knows that I know his brother, but it's 737 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: just doesn't I don't know.

And now they were guests on the show, 1312 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:56,920 Speaker 2: and it was really fun to talk about two movies. 1313 01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 2: I think you you and I both really love too, 1314 01:10:59,160 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 2: So that was. 1315 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're totally fine with that clause in 1316 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the contract that said they had to be a guest. 1317 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,639 Speaker 1: I was like, our lawyer is not going to take 1318 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 1: that out at all. Yeah. Yeah, they're the best and 1319 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 1: I'm so glad and their family.

Hello, Millian Casey. I would consider 1337 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,040 Speaker 1: myself to be a Wes Anderson megafan. I have the 1338 01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 1: Criterion Collection cartoon of Max Fisher smoking a cigarette on 1339 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 1: a go cart tattooed on my body. That's how serious 1340 01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 1: my love is. The Fantastic Mister Fox was my go 1341 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 1: to movie when I was twenty three and stoned. I 1342 01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,280 Speaker 1: got into his movies in my early twenties, and they deeply, 1343 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 1: deeply affected me. In hindsight, I think was probably the 1344 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:34,600 Speaker 1: very sincere combination of intellectualism on we family dysfunction, and 1345 01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,759 Speaker 1: symmetry that just hit me, a high school English teacher, 1346 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,000 Speaker 1: in such a way that I felt like his movies 1347 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 1: helped me to unlock some understanding of the world I've 1348 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:47,880 Speaker 1: held onto ever since. So here's my gripe. Is it 1349 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,560 Speaker 1: just me or do his recent movie suck? I was 1350 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,760 Speaker 1: so excited to see The French Dispatch, and then I 1351 01:12:54,920 --> 01:13:01,200 Speaker 1: watched it and felt bored, condescended to I was incredibly 1352 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 1: excited when Asteroid City came out same reaction. Does Wes 1353 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:08,559 Speaker 1: Anderson need to be stopped? His most recent long form 1354 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 1: theatrical releases are so completely without heart and soul, so 1355 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 1: focused on the form of filmmaking, so obsessed with Andersonian 1356 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,439 Speaker 1: details and set design, and so concerned with meta narrative 1357 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: and philosophical deconstruction, that he has totally lost sight of 1358 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:26,479 Speaker 1: what actually makes his movies great lonely people finding their 1359 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,760 Speaker 1: imperfect counterparts in the world. Am I alone in this? 1360 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 1: I'd love to know your thoughts. Should I give his 1361 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 1: more recent movies another try? Or does this fall in 1362 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,240 Speaker 1: line with the Terminator slash terminator too equation and there 1363 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,160 Speaker 1: just isn't a way to go back or forward. I 1364 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: know this is overly worthy, but again, English teacher here, 1365 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: thanks for reading, Jackie. 1366 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 2: Wow, thank you Jackie for writing in well a very 1367 01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:55,200 Speaker 2: well written email. Yeah, I felt I've definitely nay counciation 1368 01:13:55,560 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 2: wrote that. Yeah, incredible. This is so interesting because I 1369 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,600 Speaker 2: think I had a similar relationship with Wes Anderson that 1370 01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,559 Speaker 2: you have, Jackie. I, but I'm a little bit older 1371 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,280 Speaker 2: and therefore wiser and I so I was obsessed with 1372 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 2: Rushmore when it came out, Royal Ten of Bombs, The 1373 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 2: Life Aquatic, Oh my god, I was obsessed with all 1374 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 2: those movies. They hit me emotionally so hard. And then 1375 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 2: his next couple of movies started coming out, and even 1376 01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 2: the Fantastic Mister Fox. I was kind of like, I 1377 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 2: feel nothing for these movies. The Dart Deealing Limited, I 1378 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 2: was like, oh this, I don't feel the same way 1379 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,720 Speaker 2: I did anymore. Why aren't these drumming up the same 1380 01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:37,760 Speaker 2: emotions I had when I first fell in love with 1381 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:42,280 Speaker 2: Wes Anderson. People still like those movies and think they're good, obviously, 1382 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 2: and like the Grand Buddha Beest Hotel. When I first 1383 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:49,160 Speaker 2: saw that, I was kind of like, I'm still not. 1384 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 2: I don't feel the way I did when Moon Rise Kingdom. 1385 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 2: Same thing, like I don't feel the same way I 1386 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,640 Speaker 2: did with Rushmore and The Royal Tenant Bombs. But I 1387 01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 2: think what happens is you, you like, really fell in 1388 01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,559 Speaker 2: love with Wes Anderson's movies, and you gave a lot 1389 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 2: of love to these movies, and I just think after 1390 01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 2: a while, I think you probably would have felt differently 1391 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 2: if you had seen some of these, Like if you 1392 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,000 Speaker 2: had seen Asteroid City before any of these other movies, 1393 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 2: I think you might have had an emotional reaction to 1394 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,120 Speaker 2: them in the same way that you did with you know, 1395 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,760 Speaker 2: the Fantastic Mister Fox. But I just think sometimes that 1396 01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,719 Speaker 2: happens when you like fall in love with a director 1397 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,320 Speaker 2: and then they don't quite deliver, or it feels a 1398 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 2: little different. I had a similar thing happened to me 1399 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,479 Speaker 2: with Paul Thomas Anderson. When there will be Blood came out. 1400 01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,719 Speaker 2: I was like, this isn't the same vibe as punch 1401 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 2: drunk love. I don't like this, you know. So I 1402 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 2: do think it's a very normal part of your relationship 1403 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:51,320 Speaker 2: with a director, and I think over time you will 1404 01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 2: start to love those later works. You just might not 1405 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,280 Speaker 2: have the capacity to love that many movies all at once. 1406 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 2: Is that way, don't I just said it makes sense, 1407 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:03,599 Speaker 2: Milling it does. 1408 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 1: It does make sense. I think it's a good way 1409 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,280 Speaker 1: to counsel Jackie on this very topic. I feel like 1410 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 1: I have a bitchy I have a bitchy reason. 1411 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 2: Okay, go. 1412 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: I think it's that he becomes less Texas boy over 1413 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 1: time and becomes more like European artsy fartsy guy. 1414 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,560 Speaker 2: He lost the roots, Yeah, the root. He doesn't have 1415 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 2: his roots down like Julia Roberts does. 1416 01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,160 Speaker 1: When he used to wear the clear glasses and he 1417 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 1: had the like spiky hair, and then he grew his 1418 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: hair along and started wearing like velveteen suits and shit, 1419 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: I feel like that's the That's what I'm talking about. 1420 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Like there's a difference between him making like Texas movies 1421 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 1: with like the damn Wilson Brothers and then to what 1422 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: he does now, which is like more I don't know, 1423 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:58,280 Speaker 1: just like they're kind of like pieces of art, like 1424 01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:02,680 Speaker 1: they're not like funny, homedy warm, like I don't know, 1425 01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 1: And that's whatever. You can move to Paris, I guess 1426 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 1: like you can. That's fine, you leave your hometown and 1427 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:14,880 Speaker 1: move to Paris. I'm not begrudging anybody for doing that. Yeah, 1428 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:18,519 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm seeing it as maybe an 1429 01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:22,559 Speaker 1: explanation for this Jackie, but I feel like, I mean, 1430 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 1: when I was in college, like I remember when Rushmore 1431 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,439 Speaker 1: came out and the Rushmore bus came to my school 1432 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 1: and I actually got on the bus with my stupid 1433 01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,040 Speaker 1: radio station college media folks and got to like hang 1434 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,680 Speaker 1: out with with Wes Anderson. I actually have there's like 1435 01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,559 Speaker 1: a v like what do you call those like formats 1436 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,400 Speaker 1: where it was like a camquorder tape. It was tiny, 1437 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,560 Speaker 1: and then he fitted into like an adapter which was 1438 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,640 Speaker 1: a vcv VHS side might yeah it might have been 1439 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 1: many maybe like very early like late nineties digital video, 1440 01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 1: but it was like I have like like an hour 1441 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 1: and a half worth of footage of Wes Anderson basically 1442 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 1: being old Wes Anderson. He had the spikey little hair, 1443 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 1: he had the nerdy glad he was he looked like 1444 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,719 Speaker 1: a nerd. He was wearing the like high water pants 1445 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 1: with the socks and the you know, creaky new balances 1446 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 1: his old style, right, and I just remember thinking, like, 1447 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,680 Speaker 1: what a cool, fun guy. He kind of like he like, 1448 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,600 Speaker 1: for some reason, I think like him and Todd's Solons, 1449 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, the director Todd Salons. They kind of had 1450 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 1: like the nerdy film guy thing on lock back then 1451 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,439 Speaker 1: they did. But then again, yeah, I think there was 1452 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,760 Speaker 1: like a moment where I felt like his style, his 1453 01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 1: own personal style, moved away from that and was becoming 1454 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 1: more of like he started looking like like like I 1455 01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: don't know, like a caricature of a European art house 1456 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: director or something totally you know, and I was like, oh, okay. 1457 01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 1: And then that's what I kind of noticed.
