Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Welcome to Many Crush. Uh been a few
Speaker 1: weeks since we recorded edition. It sure has chuck, And
Speaker 1: I gotta say I really was bummed that I missed
Speaker 1: the Slasher Round up with with you and Um and
Speaker 1: Joe and who else was on there? Annie and ram
Speaker 1: jam That's right, Ramy stepped in. He made debut. Oh man,

Speaker 1: was wonderful and he's just the best. Of course, she's
Speaker 1: gonna she's gonna come in for a regular interview conversation Asian.
Speaker 1: Wonderful and hopefully more. One of my favorite people in
Speaker 1: the office. You are freshly shorn, You have your hipster
Speaker 1: soccer haircut. It's squared away. I hate you guys because
Speaker 1: now I have to over explain at the haircutter every time.
Speaker 1: Now what do you mean I have to I have
Speaker 1: to like say, like eight times, don't do whatevery all
Speaker 1: the other guys are doing. And I literally can point
Speaker 1: to like nine guys in the room to have your haircut.
Speaker 1: Don't do that to me. I remember when I first
Speaker 1: got it. You commented on Facebook something to the effect
Speaker 1: of like sellout for you for me, Yeah, well no
Speaker 1: I didn't. You don't. You don't appear to be one
Speaker 1: to fall into the trends, but I guess you know it.
Speaker 1: Look it. When I got this haircut, Chuck, my my
Speaker 1: my self confidence went up like five clicks. Okay, So
Speaker 1: whatever it takes, that's all. That's all it takes. Do
Speaker 1: you want to talk about your life of late? It's
Speaker 1: not all it takes, but it was. It was definitely
Speaker 1: like set me on a path, a trajectory of sorts,
Speaker 1: and and it's it's been. It's been good ever since.
Speaker 1: I feel like the haircut is what really really set
Speaker 1: things off for me. I think it's funny. I just uh,
Speaker 1: and again not knocking your haircut or the other gazillion
Speaker 1: guys with that cut, but I think that is one
Speaker 1: of those you know, sometimes you can see a style
Speaker 1: in the moment that you're like, boy, in ten years,
Speaker 1: we're all gonna wonder why we did that. I think
Speaker 1: that's one of those. Okay, Chuck, we'll see and I've
Speaker 1: had those cuts. History, history will be the judge mullet.
Speaker 1: Why don't you bring that back, Chuck, You've got the power.
Speaker 1: I think there are some mullet mulleteers out there, you think,
Speaker 1: so sure the ironic, I mean, that's like, that's so hipster.
Speaker 1: It's like underground with a rat tail, mayhaps. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen those guys. Yeah, no, I I don't know. Um
Speaker 1: just i'll tell you just a really quick thing that happened.
Speaker 1: I got to see you and Josh in in the
Speaker 1: wild performance at the Bellhouse, and then we hung out socially.
Speaker 1: Are like the first time and if you're with your
Speaker 1: lovely wife Emily, and it was a lot of fun
Speaker 1: and friends are friend. Eric and Tristan from the office
Speaker 1: with Houston was there and uh, some Australian fellows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. We hung on for a while. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was a good time. It was a very good coming out,
Speaker 1: of course, dude. The Bell House is great. We've played
Speaker 1: there a couple types of stuff that I wanted you
Speaker 1: to know. But you guys are like rock stars there.
Speaker 1: You did three nights and we got to see Night Too. Uh,
Speaker 1: well was the best night. I think, Oh good, I
Speaker 1: think Night Too was the best of the butt And
Speaker 1: I'm glad I caught our buddy Will Pearson, a big
Speaker 1: big wig in the company was there. That's right, a
Speaker 1: part time genius. Part time genius as well. They're doing
Speaker 1: shows again, aren't they. I think they do it when
Speaker 1: they can. He and Manguesh both kind of got big
Speaker 1: boy jobs in the company. They kind of do it
Speaker 1: as they're able to. I saw mangues Friday, he came.
Speaker 1: But it was great, man, I mean, one of the
Speaker 1: great Uh. I even put it on the movie crush page.
Speaker 1: One of the great New York trips I've had ever
Speaker 1: probably and I've had a lot of them. It was
Speaker 1: just wonderful. What else? What else? Said it off? Well?
Speaker 1: Shows were great, the weather was perfect, as you know
Speaker 1: New York in the fall before it gets cold. Um,
Speaker 1: and it was just Emily and I had no itinerary.
Speaker 1: We didn't plan a show or a museum or anything.
Speaker 1: And we like we lunched and we strolled and we
Speaker 1: shot popped, which is what we call, you know, like
Speaker 1: just walking around going into shops leisurely, like uh, just
Speaker 1: leisurely doing things. We kind of split up on Saturday
Speaker 1: to do separate things, separate friend group. Then I went
Speaker 1: to the Angelica Movie Theater Favorite and saw The Lighthouse
Speaker 1: How was it? And had Pacino in the cafe there.
Speaker 1: It was great. We should crush to judge. Have you
Speaker 1: seen it? You haven't yet. What I want to see
Speaker 1: is parasite. I think I'm going to see that today.
Speaker 1: I might go see that tonight. Actually I'm a little
Speaker 1: happy hour with the folks. I had a very similarly
Speaker 1: leisurely New York situation because I had a thing on
Speaker 1: Friday that I was there for. Um, So I got
Speaker 1: there Thursday night, happened to be here show you don't
Speaker 1: know about that? The that was that was dope, went
Speaker 1: to that Friday, did my thing with his country band
Speaker 1: for a music podcast that we're doing Friday night. Went
Speaker 1: to Upright Citizens Brigade um with the Stepfathers, just because
Speaker 1: they played every Friday night. But the guy Connor Ratliffe,
Speaker 1: who is one of the main improvisers in that group.
Speaker 1: He's in Marvelous, Mrs Masles occasionally and um the Chris
Speaker 1: Guthard Show. He has worked with me helping kind of
Speaker 1: with some script stuff on the Baron Banjo podcast and
Speaker 1: came on some other stuff. So when to that got
Speaker 1: comps from from him because he's a sweetheart. I'm just
Speaker 1: recently started seeing somebody and I know all about this.
Speaker 1: I actually flew flew her up because she had the
Speaker 1: weekend and I had some sky miles and she got
Speaker 1: there that night. We went to that together. Uh. Then
Speaker 1: the next day we had brunched with John Cameron Mitchell
Speaker 1: of head Vig Fame. We started at like two o'clock
Speaker 1: at this Avocado Toast Emporium Australian cafe, and we sat
Speaker 1: there with John and and his uh composer buddy lovely
Speaker 1: dude named Brian un till six o'clock. Chuck. That's just
Speaker 1: chatting it up about the world, music, movies, everything you
Speaker 1: can think of. Then we left and went to this
Speaker 1: bar and an hour later I get a text, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's j c M. Where you Where are you? And
Speaker 1: he came back out and he brought Julian Coster from
Speaker 1: Neutral Milk Hotel with him and we hung out with
Speaker 1: him for he's the saw player in Neutral Milk Hotel.
Speaker 1: He's also in a in a band called The Music
Speaker 1: Tapes and has this amazing podcast called The Orbiting Human
Speaker 1: Circus of the Air that's kind of a psychedelic trippy experience,
Speaker 1: like very audio kind of centric storytelling, UM, but very
Speaker 1: much in the style of like some of that Athens
Speaker 1: Elephant six kind of music. Right, So we had a
Speaker 1: lot of mutual friends. He had a buddy that was
Speaker 1: with him who lived in Athens at the same time
Speaker 1: I did, had seen my band several times. It was
Speaker 1: just like perfect serendipitous encounterings, you know. And you had
Speaker 1: the new lady who's probably like, you know, you're probably impressing,
Speaker 1: but she's so adaptable and was just like held her
Speaker 1: own and all of this stuff, and and it was
Speaker 1: just wonderful. It was just that's great. Yeah, that's great. No.
Speaker 1: And then we had a live stuff I don't want
Speaker 1: you to know event at the Heart Offices and that
Speaker 1: went really well and um man, look at us. Couldn't
Speaker 1: have couldn't have asked for a better great went to
Speaker 1: the Museum of Sex, which I've never been to, which
Speaker 1: is a really interesting place. If he had been. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josh is a big fan of that. Want it's neat,
Speaker 1: It's neat. Yeah, I'll have to check that out. Uh Well,
Speaker 1: And then Saturday night I went to uh, like I said,
Speaker 1: Emily and I kind of did her own thing because
Speaker 1: we had different plans, and she went to dinner with
Speaker 1: her friend Diana from college who she hasn't seen him
Speaker 1: and since college, and I went to dinner with Paul Schneider,
Speaker 1: friend of the show The Schneids The Schneids, and we
Speaker 1: ended up just having a great date the two of us.
Speaker 1: He seems like a cool dude to hang with. He's
Speaker 1: a very cool dude. And I told Schneid's that he's
Speaker 1: he's legit one of my favorite people to have like
Speaker 1: a four hour conversation with, just really interesting guy. And um, uh,
Speaker 1: we've become like pretty good pals. He's a good dude.
Speaker 1: He I don't I don't want to like him him
Speaker 1: in but we talked about some scripted stuff and um,
Speaker 1: you know it's like listen, just just do a pilot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like it's so low. You know. We talked
Speaker 1: about barrier to entry, right, And that's still the great
Speaker 1: thing about a podcast. Absolutely, it's like, just try to
Speaker 1: do a pilot, see what you think. It's a great
Speaker 1: way to test the waters too. I feel like a
Speaker 1: lot of things that we're doing this thing with Blumhouse
Speaker 1: right like where I think it's part of the deal
Speaker 1: is we're taking some of their scripts that they haven't
Speaker 1: made into movies and making interest and making them in
Speaker 1: the podcast, because then you can market test it and
Speaker 1: then you see, oh is there interest, how what's this,
Speaker 1: what's the response? And then maybe then you turn it
Speaker 1: into a movie or a series afterwards. And that's what
Speaker 1: I was telling Schneids. You know, it's like, you want
Speaker 1: to make a movie, make it a podcast first. And
Speaker 1: that's just sort of the weird world we're in right now.
Speaker 1: It's so neat that we've kind of found ourselves oddly
Speaker 1: at the epicenter of this thing. It's really really if
Speaker 1: I feel very lucky. Um. But yeah, so that's so
Speaker 1: cool that we both had similarly delightful New York weekend,
Speaker 1: which is great. Boy going to the Angelica again, I
Speaker 1: haven't been there since I lived there. It's just it
Speaker 1: was just so wonderful. I went to a poster shop
Speaker 1: and I went record shopping and I was just like,
Speaker 1: it was just one of those It reminded me the
Speaker 1: old days. It's very nice. So let's do a little
Speaker 1: plug in, noel, um I had. I know you've got
Speaker 1: a couple of new projects. Will plug. But last night
Speaker 1: I was in conversation with Jake Brennan of Disgrace Land
Speaker 1: for his book, and I just want to tell everyone
Speaker 1: out there, if you haven't listened to disgrace Land, it's great.
Speaker 1: Jake is a wonderful guy. By his new book, disgrace Land,
Speaker 1: it is um the whole conceit of it as true
Speaker 1: crime meets music. Jake is a huge music guy and
Speaker 1: a musician himself, composes all the music, and he tells
Speaker 1: stories of some of the legendary uh bad behaviors of
Speaker 1: famous musicians, musicians behaving very badly. I believe it's the
Speaker 1: subtitle of the book. Yeah, it's good stuff, and Jake
Speaker 1: is awesome and he deserves your support. He does. I
Speaker 1: I'm lucky enough to ep the slate that his show
Speaker 1: is on, and so we worked together relatively closely. I
Speaker 1: couldn't make it less night. I've been out for a while.
Speaker 1: I've just been down to town for a while, and
Speaker 1: I hadn't had my kid, and Tuesday's my kid day.
Speaker 1: So I picked her up and we just had a nice,
Speaker 1: chill it's dinner night at home, which I absolutely needed
Speaker 1: as it should. Love love Jake and so happy to
Speaker 1: see his success. And No, you have a couple of
Speaker 1: great shows out right now Murder in Oregon and bear
Speaker 1: in the band joke. Yeah, Murder in Oregon is um
Speaker 1: it's it's the kind of stuff you you couldn't write,
Speaker 1: stuff this twisty and and fascinating. I mean, it's the
Speaker 1: story of a corrections the head of corrections in Oregon,
Speaker 1: who gets murdered outside of his office in nine Clearly
Speaker 1: a hit job, clearly a hit job. The powers that
Speaker 1: be say very quickly that it was a car burglary
Speaker 1: gone wrong, but it absolutely all signs point to it
Speaker 1: being a calculated assassination because he had uncovered serious corruption
Speaker 1: in the prison system. And the crazy part is his
Speaker 1: brother Um smells a rat and moves uproots his entire life,
Speaker 1: moves to Salem, Oregon from Florida, and becomes this kind
Speaker 1: of self styled, you know, dashiel Hamnet type sleuth and
Speaker 1: tries to uncover the secret behind his brother's and then
Speaker 1: it just goes goes crazy places from there that you
Speaker 1: couldn't even I can't wait. I mean, it's out now.
Speaker 1: I listened to uh in the office the other day,
Speaker 1: just listened to like ten minutes of the pilot just
Speaker 1: to sort of get a feel for it. But I
Speaker 1: love it and subscribed and I'm gonna be getting into it.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, like and I was lucky enough to
Speaker 1: be able to be very hands on with actually creating
Speaker 1: the soundtrack with some local studio musicians, the Diamond Street
Speaker 1: Players who if you've heard of Ruby Vel and the
Speaker 1: soul Phonics, it's a lot of the folks that play
Speaker 1: with her, kind of like this retro um Amy Winehouse,
Speaker 1: Dap Tones Records kind of sound Tony. We did a
Speaker 1: very David Lynchy noir kind of vibraphones and like you know,
Speaker 1: tremor low guitars and very eerie kind of like uh,
Speaker 1: detective e type, true detective type music, and get a
Speaker 1: whole score from scratch, just like talking it through with
Speaker 1: these guys, and I improvised, but I'm I'm a musician,
Speaker 1: so I got to be like, let's switch these parts around,
Speaker 1: let's change this chord, very hands on and it really
Speaker 1: proud of the way it turned down. That's awesome. And
Speaker 1: then Baron a Banjo. Baron Banjo is a fiction podcast
Speaker 1: that's sort of, uh, somewhere between Prairie Home Companion and
Speaker 1: like a Coen Brothers film, where it's a story of
Speaker 1: these two imaginary musicians that sort of forrest gumped their
Speaker 1: way through musical history, changing the course of events in
Speaker 1: like Americana music. And the soundtrack is produced by the
Speaker 1: great t Bone Burnett um of Oh Brother, where Art
Speaker 1: Thou Fame, True detective score Fame, all of that great stuff. Yeah, incredible,
Speaker 1: incredible guy and uh co written by this guy Pooh Bear,
Speaker 1: who is Justin Bieber's songwriter. So couldn't be a weirder
Speaker 1: mash up of worlds colliding and you end up with
Speaker 1: this really fun to listen to, really nicely sound designed
Speaker 1: kind of caper story of these two guys and um,
Speaker 1: all these musicians kind of come through everyone from like
Speaker 1: a you know, muddy water as you've got Sunny list
Speaker 1: in the Boxer's a character and it's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a romp amazing and murder and Oregon sounds speaking
Speaker 1: of like developing for Hollywood. That sounds like it's just
Speaker 1: ripe for the picking either documentary or film for limited
Speaker 1: series exploring a lot of that. I'm sure, I really hope,
Speaker 1: so please do check check those out. That is great,
Speaker 1: So thanks for indulging that everyone, but we like to
Speaker 1: keep you up with the HAPs what we're doing. But no,
Speaker 1: we are going to dive into some content here. It's
Speaker 1: been a while. I was very happy to get back
Speaker 1: in this room, get the movie crushers going. We're gonna
Speaker 1: start out with the post Halloween blues, social studies, sociales,
Speaker 1: quite post Halloween, but by the time this comes out,
Speaker 1: it will be um And I'm kind of sad. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know we can't do Halloween content forever and horror
Speaker 1: movie content forever, but I'm really enjoying these October movie
Speaker 1: cry is and it's just been a lot of fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was so excited to really be a part of
Speaker 1: all of it, and then you were a part of
Speaker 1: none of it. I was a part of the one
Speaker 1: where we talked about how great it was gonna be,
Speaker 1: and now we're here now for the post mortem. So
Speaker 1: that's okay. Well, you know we'll be around next Halloween,
Speaker 1: agreed hopefully. Yeah, No, I no doubt. So I asked,
Speaker 1: very simply, what Halloween movie did you see this year
Speaker 1: that was brand new to you and that you liked?
Speaker 1: Very simple. I watched a bunch of new stuff, because
Speaker 1: you know me, I don't have a big history of
Speaker 1: slasher movies, and so I watched a lot of them
Speaker 1: and I'm digging them. I finally watched Black Christmas a
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago. Yeah, yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 1: Um I did watch really good, my bloody Valentine never
Speaker 1: seen it. I'll tell you what the best thing about
Speaker 1: it is, Chuck, is it's Canadian as fuck. It's like
Speaker 1: these these dudes have such thick Canadian accents. They sound
Speaker 1: like they're from Prague or something. It's exactly just just
Speaker 1: just watch it. Uh, it's it's it's a delight. It's
Speaker 1: actually quite beautifully shot, and apparently Tarantino's one of Tarantino's
Speaker 1: favorite slasher films, and you can see why. It is
Speaker 1: a very well shot film. But if the accents are
Speaker 1: on point, I don't have to check that out. Black
Speaker 1: Christmas I thoroughly enjoyed. It's made by Bob Clark. The
Speaker 1: He's done three famous movies. He did Black Christmas, Porky's
Speaker 1: and A Christmas Story. WHOA, maybe if you drop a
Speaker 1: ven diagram you would find Bob Clark in the center.
Speaker 1: But those are three very disparate films. Does Porkies have
Speaker 1: any Christmas vibes whatsoever? No, and Black Christmas. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course, it's funny that Black Christmas and a Christmas
Speaker 1: Story are both in there as Christmas films. I mean,
Speaker 1: like a Christmas story like I'll shoot your eye out
Speaker 1: of Christmas story. And he also did the slasher movie
Speaker 1: Black Christmas. I had no idea. Yeah, that's wild. He
Speaker 1: very sadly lost his life. He and his son were
Speaker 1: killed by a drunk driver, like within the past ten
Speaker 1: years in California. That's unfortunately, very sad ending. All right,
Speaker 1: So we are gonna go and start off with one
Speaker 1: of my favorite people in the community, the danger of En.
Speaker 1: Gayale Coat said, finally watched Trick or Treat. Obviously not
Speaker 1: the best thing you'll ever watch, but when it comes
Speaker 1: to spooky, over the top movies, it was great. I
Speaker 1: have to have to see that one too. I think
Speaker 1: it's a bit of an anthology thing where there's a
Speaker 1: little vignette, a ton of short story, and there's a
Speaker 1: weird little pumpkin boy you'll see a lot. And he's
Speaker 1: got like a bag kind of like a mesh bag
Speaker 1: mask with pumpkin drawn on it or whatever. Right, you
Speaker 1: see pumpkin boy. David Barlow says, the original hell Raiser
Speaker 1: thanks to stuff to blow your mind. I guess they
Speaker 1: talked about that. That one's pretty scary. He said, it
Speaker 1: was great. Yeah, it's good. I saw that back in
Speaker 1: the day, but I don't remember it very well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know been Clive Barker is always good at
Speaker 1: really bringing the bringing the spooks. Okay, Silence of the Lambs. Wow.
Speaker 1: Christopher Steiner, he said, I don't know if it's a
Speaker 1: Halloween movie, but it was really good. Steiner filled that
Speaker 1: whole buddy. Here we go with Black Christmas. Aaron Snell.
Speaker 1: Parts of it were outdated. I was surprised. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it, especially seeing where a lot of the
Speaker 1: modern horror tropes got popularized. Yeah, because Black Christmas inspired Halloween,
Speaker 1: you know, before all that stuff. Okay, so you really
Speaker 1: get that first good killer p o V. Is it seventies?
Speaker 1: It's seventies, and uh like it's it's got a good cast.
Speaker 1: I think we we talked on the Horror round Table
Speaker 1: about sometimes what can push it over the top as
Speaker 1: good actors because a lot of these slasher movies have
Speaker 1: bad acting. Um and the burning, which is one that
Speaker 1: I kept keep raving about had Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter,
Speaker 1: and Fisher Stevens in their very first film roles, and
Speaker 1: they were great, and that kind of stuff can push
Speaker 1: a movie over the top. This movie had a young
Speaker 1: Margot Kidder and had uh Andrea Nelson who was a
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live cast member, so I had some good
Speaker 1: acting in it. Gotta be sorority girls getting stocked, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so funny though it's so doesn't come across as
Speaker 1: a sorority. I don't know, they just maybe they all
Speaker 1: seem like they're thirty years old to me. That's funny. Um.
Speaker 1: I may have said this last episode. It was say
Speaker 1: really quickly. I've been watched I've been identifying eighties horror
Speaker 1: movies that don't have lots of nudity uh and that
Speaker 1: are not over the top, Cory, and watching them with
Speaker 1: my daughter because she gets a kick out of that stuff.
Speaker 1: And most of them are hilarious. Yeah, you said, child child. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we watched one and we may have we got to
Speaker 1: to um and two is even more over the top.
Speaker 1: With those kind of movies, they always push it a
Speaker 1: little further each time, but still quite hilarious and delightfully.
Speaker 1: I don't need to watch those. Black Christmas also has
Speaker 1: a recurring thing with the telephone call. You know, the
Speaker 1: conceit is the killers inside calling from inside the house,
Speaker 1: that old thing. Um, But the phone calls are legit disturbing.
Speaker 1: It's really it's not just they call it like the
Speaker 1: heavy breather, but it's a lot more than that. Got it.
Speaker 1: I'll check it out seventy four by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: old pal Melinda Baccalo says, Little Monsters, the new one
Speaker 1: and Overlord and us saw all those Did you see Overlord? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the Nazi one, right, Yeah, I didn't. I watched
Speaker 1: on a plane. It was it was It was good,
Speaker 1: good plane movie. It was good plane movie, I think.
Speaker 1: So God, what did I watch on the plane this time? Uh, goodness,
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I'll tell you what I watched. I
Speaker 1: watched Purple Rain on the plane. Yeah, and it was
Speaker 1: not censored, and said the guy, I got bumped, not
Speaker 1: bumped upgraded to comfort plus. But it was the very
Speaker 1: front row of comfort plus. So I had like full
Speaker 1: leg stretched abilities and the screen is really far away.
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the bulkhead. No, I'm not either. No, No,
Speaker 1: I hated it. It It was I wish I had just
Speaker 1: been in my regular seat because also the screen is
Speaker 1: so far ahead of you, it's like visible to literally everyone.
Speaker 1: So like Apollonia's like full, you know, they showed the
Speaker 1: nude scene. They showed the nude scene, and they usually
Speaker 1: don't do that. I've noticed Delta sensors swears and movies
Speaker 1: a lot of times. I was really surprised and surprised
Speaker 1: they showed her Apollonians, and they did. They absolutely did. Boy,
Speaker 1: I had a big crush on her, a little baptist chuck, dude.
Speaker 1: She's so gorgeous. And that's a movie where I mean,
Speaker 1: it's obviously conic and amazing. But Prince is not a
Speaker 1: good actor. Nah, he wasn't the best actor. He was fine,
Speaker 1: my favorite parts, and I don't know, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not not making light of movie though, not making a
Speaker 1: light of domestic violence for anything. But he's like, dad, Mom,
Speaker 1: Yeah she's heard you, dad, you know, like it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a skywalk, a little weird, great movie, so good.
Speaker 1: The performance scenes are. Yeah, we watched Emily and I
Speaker 1: watched that like the day after he died or something
Speaker 1: like everyone else in the world. What movie did I
Speaker 1: WATCHNL on the plane? Damn it, that's really making me
Speaker 1: mad now not to ask Emily. And Delta should have
Speaker 1: a like a record should be in your app. Do
Speaker 1: you have the Delta app? No, but I do, while
Speaker 1: I do have that, but I do. By the way, everyone,
Speaker 1: if you're on Facebook, you've seen him now in Letterbox?
Speaker 1: Are you on Letterbox? So that is an app, a
Speaker 1: film social app to where you track your films and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And we need to tell all all
Speaker 1: of our guests who come on if they are on
Speaker 1: the app, to say who they are, because like I
Speaker 1: know people would want to follow Casey of course. Um,
Speaker 1: and you can follow me. I think my name is
Speaker 1: just Chuck Bryant. If I'm not mistaken. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: All one word capital C capital be Chuck Bryant. You
Speaker 1: can follow me if you want. I'm still figuring this
Speaker 1: out and exactly all the things you can do, because
Speaker 1: apparently you can make lists and things like that, and
Speaker 1: we can get it going with the movie Crush community.
Speaker 1: So you should sign up Noel right now. Great, let
Speaker 1: us know what your handle is. It's gonna be how now,
Speaker 1: Noel Brown I don't know Noel Brown. Yeah, that's my
Speaker 1: Instagram handle. What I did watch, not on this flight,
Speaker 1: but a previous trip was UM Teen Spirit. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? No, it was good. It was l Fanning
Speaker 1: and she plays a young singer in from England who
Speaker 1: goes on like the pop star show. I think teen
Speaker 1: Spirit is the name of the show. Maybe um like
Speaker 1: American idol type thing. And it was pretty good. Actually
Speaker 1: it was one of those like you know, you take
Speaker 1: a flyer on a plane a lot of times, of course,
Speaker 1: no pun intended, and on movies that you may not
Speaker 1: ordinarily invest in, and I did and it was actually
Speaker 1: quite enjoyable. That sounds cool. I think I feel like
Speaker 1: I've seen I watched Book Smart recently and I loved it.
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen it. I loved it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't wait. It hit me and all the fields. I
Speaker 1: was literally crying on the plane watching Book Smart. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I need to check that out. I'm gonna remember what
Speaker 1: movie I saw. Know, one of these days, I know
Speaker 1: you will chuck. I believe in him, gonna scream. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna text you in the middle of the night. Let
Speaker 1: me see. Asa Wilson says she saw us for the
Speaker 1: first time. Perfect vibe for this time of the year. Totally. Oh,
Speaker 1: someone filled a hole. Jenevieve Flint saw Psycho for the
Speaker 1: first time. I thought it would be too slow, but
Speaker 1: it kept me interested and had a few still creepy moments.
Speaker 1: That's the thing about those those Hitchcock movies. They're not slow.
Speaker 1: That's what set him apart, is like they they move,
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, like for sure, old friend John millsteps
Speaker 1: at the Lighthouse. I don't know if I call that
Speaker 1: horror John On, I'm not sure what to call it.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to cruch that out and all existential dread.
Speaker 1: Very interesting film, like that Eggers guy. He's he's in
Speaker 1: a different lane. He's really doing some interesting things. I'm
Speaker 1: very excited to see it. I'll see that this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Zack Pointer, old pal says the Japanese Ring Goo,
Speaker 1: which I did not see. I thought the American one
Speaker 1: was better. Actually, yeah, ring greater than ring Goo in
Speaker 1: my I M h o okay l o l niple h.
Speaker 1: Nicole Park says Rosemary's Baby filled that hole. Um alec uh. Wow,
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of consonants in your name, my friend.
Speaker 1: Uh Maxim, which says Cube. I saw that back in
Speaker 1: the day. Cube is fun. Yeah, that wasn't bad. And
Speaker 1: there was Cube to hyper Cube, which I was called hypercube.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that one, but oh was it not
Speaker 1: called Hypercue? Didn't know it's called hyper Oh absolutely is No, No,
Speaker 1: I did not make that. You have haven't seen him
Speaker 1: mocking or not. I loved Cube all right, So I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna officially put to bed the Halloween stuff nol.
Speaker 1: Actually maybe not because this next one, and we rarely do.
Speaker 1: This is just a general recommendations thread just to kind
Speaker 1: of catch up on what people have been watching, either
Speaker 1: at home or in the theaters, TV or film whatever,
Speaker 1: But just what have people been seeing the past few weeks.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure some of these will be horror. But
Speaker 1: one of our pals, Jeff Strom stuff says Sunshine one
Speaker 1: of my favorite sci fi movies, but this most recent
Speaker 1: watch just seems so much better than ever. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: liked a lot of Sunshine, not all of it. Wasn't
Speaker 1: that Danny Boyle, Yeah, yeah, with Sillian Murphy. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't remember a ton about it. It was okay, I
Speaker 1: remember I really enjoyed the first half and not so
Speaker 1: much to the second seem to remember it jumping the
Speaker 1: shark a little bit and getting a little over the over,
Speaker 1: you know, just overwrought. Julio Casada says, HB, I was
Speaker 1: Watchman show is really cool. Have you seen it yet? No,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to now I have not. It's all the pilot.
Speaker 1: It was great, so dight here. I liked it. Then
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm for sure in and we just started
Speaker 1: watching a succession too. Have you seen that. I've seen
Speaker 1: the first season. I adore it. It's the same writers
Speaker 1: as Peep Show, which is one of my favorite British
Speaker 1: comedy series of all time. Interesting. Yeah, it's it's a
Speaker 1: very very different show, but very similar sensibility in terms
Speaker 1: of pure snark. Yeah, I really liked it. Emily liked
Speaker 1: it but fell asleep. She was tired, but said she's in. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I also finally finished The Boys. I've been sitting
Speaker 1: on these last two episodes forever and finally knocked those
Speaker 1: out yesterday, which one was The Boys again, this real
Speaker 1: sort of realistic superhero world. It was good and it
Speaker 1: ends the cliffhanger and the end of the season is
Speaker 1: really like pretty spectacular so I'm looking forward to that
Speaker 1: that season two. Let me see honey Boy. Joshua Lifteth
Speaker 1: saw honey Boy really well done, great performances. I want
Speaker 1: to see this. Do you know that movie honey Boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh the guy I can't stand Sila Boy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Schila Bouff. But he's he's made a film sort of
Speaker 1: about his childhood. I know you're talking about. Isn't it
Speaker 1: about don't they go door to door or they like
Speaker 1: on the roads a road movie or something like that. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's his life as a young actor
Speaker 1: with his father and Childer Booth plays his father, and
Speaker 1: I don't think he's called child a Boof in the movie.
Speaker 1: But it's very much autobiographical. That's fine. No, I'm actually
Speaker 1: thinking of another movie with Schila Buff called American honey
Speaker 1: that's different. That's a road movie, souny boys, very different interest.
Speaker 1: It's very confusing a little bit. I think honey Boy
Speaker 1: was his nickname his father gave him. I think he's
Speaker 1: a he's he's a genius actor. It's got really good reviews.
Speaker 1: He's phenomenal. I mean he's obviously a bit of a
Speaker 1: train wreck of a human, but um, sometimes that adds
Speaker 1: to the well. And I think this movie explains a
Speaker 1: little bit that, like why he is how he is.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'll check it out too.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a theater movie for me,
Speaker 1: but Don Morris old Pal says, uh this He's of
Speaker 1: the good Place, such a joy in this weary world.
Speaker 1: And uh, speaking of the good place, John millsap old
Speaker 1: Friend has also been seeing that. I need to see it,
Speaker 1: Old Pal, Melinda once again is back Bacalo rewatching the
Speaker 1: Evil Dead trilogy always great. And you know I had
Speaker 1: the great Joe Garden on for Evil Dead too, Oh
Speaker 1: so good. He came on Friday night the Bellhouse cool
Speaker 1: so you missed him. He and his lovely wife Hannah,
Speaker 1: who I finally got to meet. She's great. Vanessa Cashman
Speaker 1: Old Friends says the Goldfinch really enjoyed that movie. I
Speaker 1: don't know why it didn't do better in the theaters.
Speaker 1: I have not seen that. I don't know the Goldfinch.
Speaker 1: Isn't that based on a book? It sounds familiar. I
Speaker 1: don't know you'd either. Katie Scott says, finally went and
Speaker 1: saw a joker. I can't recommend it enough. Did you
Speaker 1: see it? I haven't seen it? Yeah, all right, I
Speaker 1: saw it. What do you think it was good? Right on? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good. I think it's one of those that
Speaker 1: like it's sticking with me, like, uh as the Masterpiece
Speaker 1: a Summer, calling it, but it was a really good movie.
Speaker 1: Sure as polarizing. Some people are like some of my
Speaker 1: uh my Facebook address book who are like very clearly
Speaker 1: virtue signaling social justice warrior types are very up in
Speaker 1: arms about this movie, calling it everything from irresponsible to
Speaker 1: you know, absolute trash, you know, uh, an abomination. Maybe
Speaker 1: I made that one, but it's just it really says
Speaker 1: a lot about I don't know, like, yeah, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I know. It's a movie. Man, it's a movie. People
Speaker 1: have their opinions. Um, I mean there are certainly awful,
Speaker 1: depraved films that maybe you could say that about, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, joke or to me kind OF's it's realistic.
Speaker 1: Look at the times we're living in quick shout out
Speaker 1: or our plug if you don't mind. A good buddy
Speaker 1: of mine, Nicholas, has a podcast called Video Drome Cinema.
Speaker 1: They do reviews, typically of of new stuff and also
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll do like a reway to did candy Man
Speaker 1: recently and did some stuff for Halloween season. They have
Speaker 1: a really good discussion on the Joker movie, and I
Speaker 1: recommend you checking it out video Drome Cinema. I will
Speaker 1: have to hear that for sure, because I am interested
Speaker 1: in getting different takes. Joaquin Phoenix was great. The whole
Speaker 1: movie was good. I was very impressed with Todd Phillips.
Speaker 1: He's got some skills beyond you know, silly movies like
Speaker 1: The Hangover. Yeah, for sure, I will say he said
Speaker 1: a bit of a dumb, dumb thing and saying that.
Speaker 1: He just said that like, we can't do comedy anymore
Speaker 1: because of all of these politically correct assholes or whatever.
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of like, Okay, Todd Phillips, I see you,
Speaker 1: But I also like, you know, does it mean we
Speaker 1: can't do comedy anymore? It just seems like a little
Speaker 1: bit little extreme. No, you can do whatever you want.
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's gonna like it. That's also true. That's
Speaker 1: also true. But he literally said I'm not doing comedy
Speaker 1: anymore because it's too difficult with all of these you know, alright,
Speaker 1: I see where he's coming from. I just feel like
Speaker 1: saying it that way sort of makes you sound lazy
Speaker 1: rather than like, you know, describing the culture or whatever
Speaker 1: like it means. I don't know, like it rubbed me
Speaker 1: the wrong way, But I also kind of see where
Speaker 1: he's coming from, because it does. Again, even with this
Speaker 1: joker things, people so quick to shut it down and say,
Speaker 1: you can't do a movie like that this day and age,
Speaker 1: it's irresponsible, And I'm you know, I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: don't go see it then exactly, and you know that's
Speaker 1: also a little dasy to be like, you can't do
Speaker 1: comedy because everything is offensive. Everything is not offensive. You
Speaker 1: could do comedy that's not offensive. Plenty of people are
Speaker 1: doing it also, sure, that's exactly right. That's also like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, that's that's that's sort of the
Speaker 1: that's a sticky issue. Kristen Bits a guy one of
Speaker 1: our oldest appeals. Um. She said, I introduced my son
Speaker 1: to the Adams family and it was a great experience.
Speaker 1: I took my daughter to see that movie, the new one,
Speaker 1: the animated one. Huh was it funny? It wasn't great?
Speaker 1: Now it didn't look great. Well, I'll say this and
Speaker 1: old for a four year old. It was fine, but
Speaker 1: I was very tired, and I actually purposefully fell asleep
Speaker 1: a little snoozer. Yeah, like I felt myself drifting and
Speaker 1: and in a movie theater and he's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: watch the movie. But in this case, I went, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, I've got an hour and fifteen minutes left
Speaker 1: in this thing and this third ball now, now, are
Speaker 1: you not a snore? Or really not? Usually? And so
Speaker 1: I slunk down and sort of nodded off and woke
Speaker 1: up towards the end. And it was quite wonderful, very
Speaker 1: cool movie nap. And she didn't like call you on it.
Speaker 1: What happened? Dad? Tell me? But you know what I
Speaker 1: did do, and I'll admit this on air. I had
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom really bad. And it was
Speaker 1: one of those things in the middle of the movie.
Speaker 1: I was like, she's four and a half. What do
Speaker 1: I do here to a direct her out of this
Speaker 1: theater to the bathroom that's luckily positioned right outside this
Speaker 1: theater house. I said no, and I leaned over and
Speaker 1: as at hey Kido said, I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
Speaker 1: said do not move from the seat. I'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and I jumped up and I ran too the bathroom,
Speaker 1: and of course you didn't move. Of course she's sitting
Speaker 1: there watching the movie. It's it's absolutely fine. I was gone,
Speaker 1: I was it was probably it was a quickie, less
Speaker 1: than a minute, I would say, all in. I didn't
Speaker 1: even wash my hands. That's that's that's the most disgusting
Speaker 1: part of this old story. I wasn't sure though. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you you know as apparent you know how well you
Speaker 1: know now your daughter is older. But in those early days,
Speaker 1: obviously you're not gonna be a kid in a hot
Speaker 1: car because we gotta crack the wind Dutch shock. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows that. But you gotta make some of these decisions sometimes,
Speaker 1: like jeez, can I run to the bathroom? And I did,
Speaker 1: and it was fine. Of course it was fine. And
Speaker 1: in the old days, ship that kid would have been
Speaker 1: in that movie by herself. Yeah, I mean, I was
Speaker 1: thinking back, a parent would have been in the R
Speaker 1: rated movie next Door exactly. At times of change, I
Speaker 1: was thinking, like in the nineties, I would visit my
Speaker 1: mom in New York when she was singing, and I
Speaker 1: was like maybe eleven twelve, and she let me walk
Speaker 1: around by myself. The city. That to New York though,
Speaker 1: kind of kids do that. But now I think back
Speaker 1: on and I'm like, it was a little sketchy back
Speaker 1: in those days. You know, it's certainly safer now, but
Speaker 1: back in the nineties it was a little a little dicier.
Speaker 1: They're um, but kids are pretty like safe in New York,
Speaker 1: I think, and like kind of largely ignored in New York.
Speaker 1: People are doing their thing. They're doing their thing, and
Speaker 1: like kids, you know, you're not gonna rob a kid,
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a big commitment. It's a big
Speaker 1: commitment to do a kidnapping. Are you really you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta really do some leg work. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: like a spur of the moment like, oh hey, let
Speaker 1: me kidnap a kid real quick, and sure we got
Speaker 1: a few minutes. They'll have all the info of of
Speaker 1: how to track their parents down, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, we saw some kids. We were having Emily
Speaker 1: and we're having lunch at a little outdoor cafe in
Speaker 1: Greenwich Village and there were these kids. I guess the
Speaker 1: they were either just let out for lunch or maybe
Speaker 1: the weird New York thing where like the school cafeteria
Speaker 1: is actually in another building and they had to walk
Speaker 1: to it, but these kids were everywhere, and uh, I
Speaker 1: just marveled. I was like, men, the coolest fucking kids
Speaker 1: in the world. Are these New York kids, These ten
Speaker 1: year olds that are trying to be a real it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a real perspective in their things. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have I thought about that too. You know, well, they're
Speaker 1: not coddled, they're not growing up in some suburban helicopter parents.
Speaker 1: They're out there on the streets, street kids, street smarts.
Speaker 1: And then you see a movie like Kids, and then
Speaker 1: you think, what, never let your kids out it, don't
Speaker 1: do it. That was a good movie. Man. I remember
Speaker 1: when that came out. I was living up there. Uh
Speaker 1: it was it was you saw it, right, Yeah, of course,
Speaker 1: so good. There's sort of a modern, a more recent
Speaker 1: equivalent of that that I saw recently. And now I'm
Speaker 1: having a hard time. Oh, I mean, I guess people
Speaker 1: were saying that late nineties was kind of kind of
Speaker 1: a modern Kids. I did not see that. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't see anither. Yeah, I want to see it.
Speaker 1: I would. I would also like to see mid nineties.
Speaker 1: Mid nineties was it late nineties, its mid nineties. Late
Speaker 1: nineties is different, different story, it's a different movie. Mid
Speaker 1: nighteties is what's his face right? It's Jonah Hill. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to see that. That looks good. All right,
Speaker 1: let's finish up with a couple here. Mike Ireland saw
Speaker 1: The Graduate. He said, uh, it was not a first viewing,
Speaker 1: but he said it was much much better than remembered,
Speaker 1: worthy of a rewatch. How do you remember it, man?
Speaker 1: I mean The Graduate? I see that movie. I feel
Speaker 1: like once every couple of yearss a funny movie and
Speaker 1: it's touching, it's the best and it's just kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Like Yeah, Debbie Franka Dacas twent from Stardom great. Have
Speaker 1: you ever seen that? Was the one about the backup singer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. I've heard. Boy, it's good, it's

Speaker 1: weeks ago? How long was this? This was a good one.
