Speaker 1: across from me. Jre you just anti people being across
Speaker 1: from you know, I've been across from Josh for twelve years.
Speaker 1: That'll leave a bad taste in your mouth. Is that
Speaker 1: the issue? It's a great taste. What's it taste like?
Speaker 1: Crunch berry? I love crunch So Noel, uh and Ramsey
Speaker 1: happy Mini Crush anversary. It was just we were all
Speaker 1: alerted this morning that February three was our very first
Speaker 1: mini Crush. Really, and that is the date of today.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, she said, February three today? Oh, good lord?
Speaker 1: Can't we do anything right around here? That doesn't we
Speaker 1: do things right? Ish? Why did that thing come today?
Speaker 1: Then two days late? What thing? We got a thing
Speaker 1: in based in our our company? Uh? Oh? Really? Project
Speaker 1: management system they said happy anniversary February three. Well, you
Speaker 1: know that's their screw up, Chuck. Not you know, well
Speaker 1: happy many crush reversary two days ago. You know it's
Speaker 1: in the zone here, somewhere, we're in the region of
Speaker 1: the anniversary. So, Noel, you cut your beard almost all
Speaker 1: the way off, what's what gives? It was kind of
Speaker 1: a barber accident, really, I you know, doing I did
Speaker 1: let them do it. They usually just tidy it up
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I just said, let's take it
Speaker 1: in a little bit more this time. And they took
Speaker 1: that to me and he used the face. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: used a guard and I just didn't stop him. I
Speaker 1: saw it was going on and it was too late.
Speaker 1: I've been in that position where I'm like, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a bad haircut right down and too afraid to speak.
Speaker 1: But it's not a bad come on, Chuck, It's just
Speaker 1: like I was talking about a bad haircut. It's not
Speaker 1: your bad beard. It's a fresh start. It grows fast.
Speaker 1: I'm a fast hair grower, so it'll been a week's time.
Speaker 1: You won't even know the difference. It's it's different. It's uh,
Speaker 1: it's weird to see you so freshly shorn. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: it's weird for me to chuck all right, do you
Speaker 1: guys your kids are they afraid of you guys shaving
Speaker 1: your beards off? Uh, we've never talked about it. Ruby
Speaker 1: would for reek if I came home with like a
Speaker 1: completely bare face. I don't know if it happened to me.
Speaker 1: When my kid was like maybe four or something, I
Speaker 1: shaved it all off except for a mustache on a lark. Well,
Speaker 1: that's creepy. So she didn't know. I guess it's just
Speaker 1: inherently it's naturally creepy. Kids just get it. That mustache stranger.
Speaker 1: But she cried and freaked out, and she remembers that
Speaker 1: to this day. She's eleven now, and she she totally
Speaker 1: has a very palpable memory of that moment. Interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember my dad. Um, he was had a beard
Speaker 1: all of all of my life, basically starting at about
Speaker 1: when did he grow that beard? I don't think he
Speaker 1: had one when I was really little, so maybe six
Speaker 1: or seven. But I had a beard and still does
Speaker 1: from then on. And he shaved it one time and
Speaker 1: it was just the oddest thing. And when I see
Speaker 1: pictures of him from pre me it's just weird someone
Speaker 1: has a beard for like forty years. And for you, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I mean, you wouldn't recognize yourself. Probably you'd freak out
Speaker 1: looking at yourself if you shaved it all the way
Speaker 1: I I shaved it all the way off a few
Speaker 1: years ago. Uh. And then it was like, my god,
Speaker 1: what have I done? Um, David Ali, my god, what
Speaker 1: have I done? And you may say to yourself, this
Speaker 1: is not a big fat white face again, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: beard is comes in very handy. What I realized most
Speaker 1: instantly is that it obscures the double China. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's a big deal. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1: So no, I just finished listening to your John Cameron
Speaker 1: Mitchell take over. Thank you for covering for me. Of
Speaker 1: course you did a great job. Thank you. It was
Speaker 1: a wonderful conversation. He is. Uh. I don't get professionally
Speaker 1: jealous much, but that was one trip that I was
Speaker 1: so upset to not be able to go on a
Speaker 1: fun hang and like to hang with the hero of mine.
Speaker 1: And when I heard the show, I was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: he's such a good conversational so whip smart and like
Speaker 1: just on it. Man. He had a ship together. I agree,
Speaker 1: And um, you know, like I said, we've we've hung
Speaker 1: out probably five or six times at this point, and
Speaker 1: I would consider us kind of borderline friends. I mean
Speaker 1: we you know, we text and stuff, and there's business involved,
Speaker 1: but we professional very much, you know, elevated beyond that.
Speaker 1: And uh in Athens, we stayed in this Airbnb and
Speaker 1: he went to breakfast with us the next morning, with
Speaker 1: his whole crew and his friends, with all these Athens
Speaker 1: people from Elephants six collective, which is you know, people
Speaker 1: that I know as well and of your greatest a
Speaker 1: long time. And then Peter Buck was around and um,
Speaker 1: that's what killed me. Randomly picture of him photobomba in
Speaker 1: the back that was just as signing. They did a
Speaker 1: signing at lux Tree, and then um, he played with
Speaker 1: them both nights. The first night when it wasn't John,
Speaker 1: that was on Saturday, it was this band Eyelids, opening
Speaker 1: for Camper van Beethoven, which kills me because Camper was
Speaker 1: one of my early bands. Daisy opened up, which was
Speaker 1: one of my Athens bass right, that's right. And then
Speaker 1: the next night Eyelids became John's backing band and Peter
Speaker 1: joined them as well. Because he produced this EP they
Speaker 1: made for with of lou Reed covers was to benefit
Speaker 1: John's mother, who has Alzheimer's, for her care. So he
Speaker 1: played both nights and then he just ended up randomly.
Speaker 1: There's a bar and the Athens folks would be familiar
Speaker 1: with called the Manhattan An, and everyone kind of went
Speaker 1: and and Peter was just there, just people coming up
Speaker 1: to him and stuff like. It was all people that
Speaker 1: already knew it. It was all like the people that
Speaker 1: already were like used to it. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: bar that it is where it's like people don't mess
Speaker 1: with anybody there because every but it was all these
Speaker 1: local Athens luminaries. They're like Andy LeMaster, who's an incredible
Speaker 1: producer and engineer, and he was an event called now
Speaker 1: It's Overhead and played with Bright Eyes for a while. Um,
Speaker 1: and he was there and I knew him from back
Speaker 1: in the day, and all the Elephants six guys and stuff.
Speaker 1: But um and this guy Todd who runs Low Yo
Speaker 1: Yo Stuff, which is a really great record store. He's
Speaker 1: the kind of quintessential like record store guy who like
Speaker 1: will kind of like you know, haggle with you over
Speaker 1: the price of like a rare LP if you deserve
Speaker 1: it or not. Kind of one of those guys. But
Speaker 1: he was there. It was just a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: My friend Frank came and he's a huge arium fan
Speaker 1: and was really nervous about talking to Peter. But Peter
Speaker 1: dropped this wad of cash out of his sock and
Speaker 1: accidentally and Frank saw it, picked it up and handed
Speaker 1: it to Peter, and then he was in and he
Speaker 1: was just part of the conversation. And Peter, what is
Speaker 1: he an old lady? I don't know. He definitely wears
Speaker 1: sunglasses indoors and a big old like rock star scar. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a power moves get away with that. He was
Speaker 1: a sweet guy though, he was just kind of a nerd,
Speaker 1: a little awkward and didn't get out very much. He
Speaker 1: kept saying with brother, so I would have had a
Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah exactly, like, huh, nice, nicest guy I
Speaker 1: could I could have? Goodness me, Well, I hated missing
Speaker 1: out on that for sure. Did They did he play
Speaker 1: a head big stuff that night? Oh? They closed with
Speaker 1: Midnight Radio and it made me hit about I lost
Speaker 1: my ship And they also did the song low by R. E. M.
Speaker 1: That's a real cool creepy cover low low Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they did all the lou reed stuff that did was
Speaker 1: kind of deep cut stuff off a record called The
Speaker 1: Blue Mask, which is kind of one of his gothier records. Um,
Speaker 1: just fantastic everything about it. They did a moon aged
Speaker 1: daydream by Bowie him and Jay Gonzalez from the Drive
Speaker 1: By Truckers. And that's the thing that he is character
Speaker 1: in the show Shrill, which I only just now started watching,
Speaker 1: which is trippy because now I know the guy. Now
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him his total asshole in the show. Um,
Speaker 1: he does the song in the show. There's a musical
Speaker 1: episode here he sings halfway through season two. It's just
Speaker 1: a great show. It's still easy to watch. What a
Speaker 1: what a good show. I'm trying to get her on
Speaker 1: the show was absolutely She's fantastic. I'm sort of you
Speaker 1: know her husband a little bit, so I should just
Speaker 1: or go through John Cameron Mitchell. You absolutely could. I
Speaker 1: got easy hookups. Man. What's her name, Adi Bryant. I
Speaker 1: don't know her outside of the show. I guess she's
Speaker 1: an S and L and she's just she's still on
Speaker 1: and wonderful. Yeah, I love it. I love it show um,
Speaker 1: which is one of my stream there, so we'll just
Speaker 1: touch lightly on that later. So, uh no, I got
Speaker 1: some backlighting and Ramsey backlighting on the TV. Finally, uh
Speaker 1: the Hughes. I got the Phillips Hughes strips. Great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, Emily just cracks up because you know I
Speaker 1: always set the mood and set the colors, and She's
Speaker 1: just like, you're such a fucking nerd. I love it.
Speaker 1: I have the whole hue package in my living room
Speaker 1: and bedroom. I don't have the backlight, but I do
Speaker 1: have I did have like one of the little orbs
Speaker 1: and you can just put it behind the TV and
Speaker 1: have it facing the wall. You've got the real the strips.
Speaker 1: I want to get that. That's all I have is
Speaker 1: the strips um. But I like it. It's cool, and
Speaker 1: I generally leave it on sort of like a uh
Speaker 1: kind of low dim golden hue for most everything. But
Speaker 1: I watched Frozen again with my daughter and I put
Speaker 1: on this ice blue, which that palette is all over
Speaker 1: that movie. It doesn't it do predictive stuff though, where
Speaker 1: it can like tell that will change color. But I
Speaker 1: don't know com into that. It seemed a little creepy
Speaker 1: to me, yeah, and maybe distracting, but um, she's gotten
Speaker 1: on the Frozen thing late and hard. It's constant in
Speaker 1: our home. Now, what about Frozen two? Do you guys
Speaker 1: go see Frozen tun And Emily took her to see
Speaker 1: that and she said it was really good, So I
Speaker 1: will be seeing that soon when it comes out a
Speaker 1: bunch but that soundtrack, man, we got our little boom
Speaker 1: box so she could have some autonomy over music, got
Speaker 1: her some CDs, So she's been carrying this thing around
Speaker 1: playing Frozen constantly. And point one, it's really stuck in
Speaker 1: my head and annoying, but point to, those are really
Speaker 1: good fucking songs. D it's the folks who did Avenue
Speaker 1: Q and uh, it's good stuff. It's just Broadway caliber,
Speaker 1: really sticky melodies, really great and arranged like from super poppy,
Speaker 1: kind of modern sounding things that kids enjoy too. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like that Fix Her Upper song, it's like Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: superstuck sounds like seventies sort of rock opera. Or there's
Speaker 1: the one that the Snowman character sings. It's almost like
Speaker 1: a vaude villy tap dance kind of number. That's my
Speaker 1: but it's still it's cute, he gets he gets to
Speaker 1: ham it up a little bit. Yeah, it's more of
Speaker 1: an old school Broadway kind of. That's good stuff, man,
Speaker 1: I can see I think in forming a theory that
Speaker 1: these the biggest of those animated films have the best music.
Speaker 1: And that's no accident. I can think kids know Molanna
Speaker 1: had fantastic music as well. Yeah, it was good, but
Speaker 1: not as good as Frozen. I think you think, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're I think you're right. But I do think there
Speaker 1: were some songs in there that were pretty fantastic, like
Speaker 1: the main one, the where I'll Go or whatever, and
Speaker 1: then there's the one with the one Jamaine Clement Jemaine Clemence.
Speaker 1: He does kind of the Bowie voice, you know, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's it so good? Um, Ramsey, is your daughter into
Speaker 1: that stuff? Or she too old for that? She she
Speaker 1: went through like a slight phase of Frozen. Um. I
Speaker 1: think she had issues with a movie as far as
Speaker 1: like the violence in it, like that. She's kind of
Speaker 1: an all that. Yeah yeah, um, and she kind of
Speaker 1: took I think she dressed up once as as also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the um because she she liked she had that fairy
Speaker 1: princess moment and stuff like that, but not as not
Speaker 1: as much. That sounds like as you're a kid. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Ruby has dressed up as Elsa once um every day,
Speaker 1: famously portrayed by Adele Dozem. That's right. That's where remember
Speaker 1: that it was John Travolta. Travolta. That's right. It's just
Speaker 1: like he made it up. He just pulled it out
Speaker 1: of nothingness, the wicked, lely funny Adele. Her name is
Speaker 1: Adina Menzel. It's like he just like, I wonder how
Speaker 1: many people name it zim after love it? I love
Speaker 1: it um. Yeah. You know, she hasn't been in the
Speaker 1: big princess thing until this frozen, and she's you know,
Speaker 1: she's got the outfit and she wears it a lot.
Speaker 1: Soon you'll be going to renfairs and all that tip
Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, I don't think so put the kaish
Speaker 1: on that, all right. So we decided to start out
Speaker 1: this week because yesterday when I posted us, was the
Speaker 1: birthday of two actresses that I love, miss Laura Lenny
Speaker 1: and Jennifer Jason Lee j j L as we call her.
Speaker 1: Yesterday was both of their birthdays. So, like we did
Speaker 1: with the Zonster, I thought let's pay tribute and just
Speaker 1: find out what everyone's favorite movie is from each of
Speaker 1: these wonderful, wonderful actors. What are you? What are yours?
Speaker 1: You guys think on that if you need. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I need just a half. I need to beat. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go ahead and throw. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love Laura Lenny a lot in everything, but you
Speaker 1: can count on me has a very special place in
Speaker 1: my heart. Is one of my favorite films, and the
Speaker 1: acting and the nature of the relationship between her and
Speaker 1: Mark Ruffalo, his brother and sister touch me and it's
Speaker 1: probably my favorite movie of hers at all. Jennifer Jason Lee,
Speaker 1: it's hard not to go with the anniversary party. Great
Speaker 1: great movie. She was awesome minute. I keep wanting to
Speaker 1: see a sequel to that movie. I think that would
Speaker 1: be an interesting thing to sequel, like a little small
Speaker 1: independent film. I want to know where there's characters are today.
Speaker 1: And then Fast Times at Ridgemont High. You know it's
Speaker 1: it is eighteen uh quote unquote teen sex comedy, but
Speaker 1: more from that era. But she's really good in that
Speaker 1: as as a young girl kind of finding her way
Speaker 1: through the beginnings of sexual awakening. And it was good.
Speaker 1: I think it was a very real portrayal for sure.
Speaker 1: She was fantastic. That was a little bit darker than
Speaker 1: the rest of the eighties. Oh yeah, it had something
Speaker 1: else going on in the rewatch. It actually holds up,
Speaker 1: whereas some of them are. Yeah, it's not a It
Speaker 1: wasn't a silly movie. You know, it's Cameron Crow I think.
Speaker 1: Was it Amy shecker Ling? Heckerling right close? It was
Speaker 1: Amy Heckerling, right yeah, yeah, yeah, Well who did Clueless? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Was it Penelope Spiris? Who was it? It was one
Speaker 1: of those. It was definitely not Spirius, I don't think,
Speaker 1: because she did. Like Wayne's World and all that. It
Speaker 1: does hold up though, still one of my favorite. No,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a movie. It's like again, so many
Speaker 1: of those eighties things are just very dated and have
Speaker 1: like all of these fingerprints of like, you know, really
Speaker 1: pandering to like the times and trying to be like
Speaker 1: every other you know, kind of formula the movie, and
Speaker 1: this one really is its own thing. It almost feels
Speaker 1: more like a seventies movie than uh than an eighties movie.
Speaker 1: You know. It's amazing, Yeah, in terms of the quality, Well,
Speaker 1: in the portrayal of the eighties isn't hammy and ham fisted.
Speaker 1: It's just sort of kind of like it was heckling.
Speaker 1: That's right. So we're gonna start off with Mike Sam's
Speaker 1: here because his firsties Laura Lenny Primal Fear. That was
Speaker 1: a great movie, remember that one, she had a lawyer?
Speaker 1: I think so, Yeah, that was a good one with
Speaker 1: the twist with Norton. Yeah, no spoilers. I think it
Speaker 1: was his first film. In fact, it was definitely what
Speaker 1: pushed him out into the spotlight because that was a
Speaker 1: real standout role for j j. L. He says to
Speaker 1: Laura's Claiborne. That's a movie I just saw for the
Speaker 1: first time last year, believe it or not. That's for
Speaker 1: Jennifer Jason Lee. Right, Yeah, Emily was like you never
Speaker 1: saw Dolores Clayborne. It's like, no, I mean, I know
Speaker 1: all about it, but for some reason, it just got
Speaker 1: by me. It was a whole have to do with
Speaker 1: a well did someone get pushed into a well? Did
Speaker 1: I make that up? Okay? Um, Hudsucker proxy man. That's
Speaker 1: the one that just popped into my brain because that's
Speaker 1: an acting role right there. That Tritt Moore says, she
Speaker 1: says or he says, Hudsucker Proxy. For sure. She choose
Speaker 1: that scenery and spits it out. Man, it's wonderful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's all that snappy. That's fantastic. I love it.
Speaker 1: That's so good. Brandy McDonald says, I only have one
Speaker 1: for Laura Lenny The Life of David Gale. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that one. Mm neither did you see it. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying Ozark even though it's a
Speaker 1: TV show. Yeah, yeah, I know she's great in that.
Speaker 1: Um oh, here we go. Lisa Lyles says, Rush for
Speaker 1: Jennifer Jason Lee. I forgot about that movie. That was good, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jason Patrick. And it had tears in Heaven on the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: I remember that because I had this. I used to
Speaker 1: be a member of the and be a house tape
Speaker 1: club where he sent me the Rush soundtrack and it
Speaker 1: had tears in Heaven. Laura Lenny Tales of the City.
Speaker 1: That is what Lisa Lyle says. Old Buddy Paulson agrees
Speaker 1: about Fast Times at Ridgemont High and he goes with
Speaker 1: Truman show. Yeah, and he said, humble Bragg. He said,
Speaker 1: I got to read the script for Truman Show a
Speaker 1: few years before it came out, and I stopped writing
Speaker 1: because it was so good now and he said, then
Speaker 1: I worked with Andrew and he was a jerk, so
Speaker 1: I started writing again. Okay, to me, Laura Lenny kind
Speaker 1: of blends into the background a little bit from me.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember like a standout role of hers,
Speaker 1: and I can for Jennifer, but I can't quite for Laura.
Speaker 1: But she was in Congo as Dr Karen Ross God
Speaker 1: Mega Monkey Classic. You bring up the only staying on
Speaker 1: her resume gorillas. There were gorillas. Excuse me? What did
Speaker 1: you say? He said monkey. They make that distinction very
Speaker 1: clear in the film. I'm sure that the guy who
Speaker 1: calls him a monk, he gets his brain smashed very quickly.
Speaker 1: I have Tim Curry and that Tim Curry doing some
Speaker 1: Tim Curry doing this inexplicable accent that's like unplaceable. It's
Speaker 1: this kind of weird, like pseudo European accent that changes,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a really fun movie they did. How
Speaker 1: did this get made? About? It? Highly recommended just for
Speaker 1: the for the yucks right cat Jim Bruno says Anniversary
Speaker 1: Party very underrated and love actually overrated movie, but she
Speaker 1: killed it. Laura Lenny in that film, she says, Don
Speaker 1: Lazano agrees about the anniversary party. Uh, she said, but
Speaker 1: her best role is probably Hateful Eight. She was so great,
Speaker 1: She was fantatic, she was really talk about it just
Speaker 1: disgusting human being. I love it and like to get
Speaker 1: to dig into that. As an actor, it's like, just
Speaker 1: be as vile as you can possibly be. She was
Speaker 1: probably the best part of that movie. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think that that movie had a
Speaker 1: lot of problems with I know you did, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people did, but definitely like there were some
Speaker 1: performances that were pretty hard. They were really great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love it. I thought it was funny every time
Speaker 1: someone came in the door they had to nail it
Speaker 1: shutting in. That recurring bit was really funny. Remember that
Speaker 1: scene where um, I forget who it was smashes that
Speaker 1: guitar that she's playing. Yeah, yeah, you know the whole
Speaker 1: story about how like it was on loan from the
Speaker 1: Martin Museum and it was actually a priceless Martin relic
Speaker 1: and they were supposed to get they were supposed to
Speaker 1: switch it out for the smash, but but Tarantino just
Speaker 1: let it roll and then he just like funk it.
Speaker 1: I'll just like pay him for it. But it was
Speaker 1: like literally like they're never gonna loan out another guitar
Speaker 1: ever again. After that. I think that was the story. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: Don Lazano for Laura Lennie says The Savages. That was
Speaker 1: a really good movie too. She was in the Squid
Speaker 1: in the Whale too. I just remember that was a great,
Speaker 1: great role. No one said that yet. Interesting. Michael Reid
Speaker 1: says Hudsucker Proxy and Mystic River from Laura Lenny. That
Speaker 1: was a pretty good movie, remember, And someone does say Congo.
Speaker 1: Brad Carr says Truman Show or Congo and then J
Speaker 1: J L Hateful eight boy people. She's getting a lot
Speaker 1: of love for that one Primal Fear from Caitlin Hennessy
Speaker 1: and nothing for j J L. That's okay, let me
Speaker 1: see here, Elizabeth mcswaine and Laura Lenny. I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: her in The Truman Show and the Nanny Diaries. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that. And then Dolores Claiborne hands down, she says, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have. I'm I'm mixing up Dolores Claiborne with something
Speaker 1: else in my brain. I think I don't know Stephen King,
Speaker 1: Cathy Bates, and there was a well like I said
Speaker 1: that one's best remember the video box. I just don't
Speaker 1: know if I've actually seen it or not. Like anyway, well,
Speaker 1: if this is not all as holes, then I would
Speaker 1: say no, that would be a big none. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to Jennifer Jason Lee in the Possessor. It's
Speaker 1: David Cronenberg's um Son. You had me at cron Son.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, his son sundance people's mind. She was
Speaker 1: in existence. She was very fucked up. We are, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't. Son was doing stuff that's exciting. I think
Speaker 1: he came out and made like rom coms and stuff.
Speaker 1: My name is Danny Cronenberg. I love a meat cute.
Speaker 1: Jennifer Mudge, Oh, Mudge, you're breaking my heart. Has meat
Speaker 1: cutes involved actual senseient meat? I mean cute slabs of
Speaker 1: meat exactly? Jennifer Mudge says, for Jennifer, it's hard not
Speaker 1: to uh, it's gotta be fast times. And for Laura
Speaker 1: Lenny it would be any movie with her not in it.
Speaker 1: WHOA Am I reading that right? Is that a big
Speaker 1: is that a diss I think, so read it again.
Speaker 1: She said for Laura Lenny, it would be any movie
Speaker 1: with her not in it. Yeah, I'm trying to twist
Speaker 1: that into here's saying she should be in every movie.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's what she said. Here's Here's
Speaker 1: my thing is I do find her to be somewhat forgettable. God,
Speaker 1: and that's only It's just just me. It's just I'm
Speaker 1: literally trying to remember a day out real like I
Speaker 1: remember she was in Congo. I remember she was in
Speaker 1: the squid in the Whale. I don't really remember what
Speaker 1: she did in. If you say Congo again, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you to leave. I said it diffinitely. Um, I
Speaker 1: think that's harsh. She's obviously a very good, uh team player,
Speaker 1: but I don't think of her as being a standout
Speaker 1: most of the time, whereas Jennifer Jason Lee really differentiates
Speaker 1: herself and has these different performance types, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Okay, all right, we'll just stop that because
Speaker 1: I'm angry now. Dude, Possessor looks awesome. One of the
Speaker 1: goryoust horror movies ever, it says, really, Yeah, I'll check
Speaker 1: that out. Yeah, I'd still like to see a good
Speaker 1: gore fest every now and then, just for s and
Speaker 1: even the slick of the still from it. It's upsetting,
Speaker 1: just the still. It's upsetting. You know. I'm crushing out
Speaker 1: the sixth cents after this with Maddie. I got to
Speaker 1: watch that again last night for the first time since
Speaker 1: the theater. It does not know me. I did not
Speaker 1: think it thought it might not have. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting episode because I didn't love it. Um, well,
Speaker 1: this will have come out, that will have come out right,
Speaker 1: just just pretty right. Before this, you think he's gonna
Speaker 1: come in being a don't apologist or I don't know,
Speaker 1: a big man. He's enthusiastic, enthusiastic. He also does not
Speaker 1: he's not fond of trashing anything. That's why he's he's
Speaker 1: a good guy. He has a good guy. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna move on. And I posed this question. Has there
Speaker 1: ever been a movie where you thought the sequel outdid
Speaker 1: the original? Pretty basic? You guys, have any that come
Speaker 1: to mind? Godfather Too is a very famous example of
Speaker 1: a sequel that at least equal the original, Which is
Speaker 1: tough because I think that's on a level of John
Speaker 1: Wick movies get better each movie, Okay, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I agree with that, and this is not
Speaker 1: for a movie, but for sirie Is, I think the
Speaker 1: leftovers each subsequent series is more involved and more interesting
Speaker 1: than previous. I think better called Saul Is maybe a
Speaker 1: little better than Breaking Bad. I just finished him. But again,
Speaker 1: these are not quite the question. But for movies, it's
Speaker 1: harder for I don't know. I think the John Wick
Speaker 1: hold Street all right, Rame's you got any um? Just
Speaker 1: obviously like Empire, I thought it was better than the
Speaker 1: first Evil Dead too, but like, I consider that a
Speaker 1: remake because there's a lot of the same plots over
Speaker 1: and over. They lean into the comedic aspect. The first
Speaker 1: one it was almost accidentally funny, and then the second
Speaker 1: one they're like, oh, funk it. This was obviously more
Speaker 1: of a comedy than it was a horror. Let's yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't find the person funny at all, but accidentally
Speaker 1: or otherwise, But yeah, I think it's a remake. Ish
Speaker 1: adjacent in the neighborhood of Sarah Costreba Yuck. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show, Sarah says Superman too. I feel that the
Speaker 1: introduction of Zod and his team are iconic. Yeah, Superman too,
Speaker 1: maybe better than Superman one. Is that the Quest for Peace?
Speaker 1: I think that for two was just too. Two was great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was with Terrence Stamp and Zad and right that. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then three is when they really start going weird
Speaker 1: and downhill. Right. I think neither three nor four we're great,
Speaker 1: But the first two were good. Sure. I remember seeing
Speaker 1: that first one Man in the theater Memorial Drive, Stonemont Theater,
Speaker 1: right next to Eddie's Trick Shop. Nick Faulkner says, Empire
Speaker 1: Strikes Back and Dark Night. That's a good point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Are sequels for sure? Yeah? Batman was.
Speaker 1: It was the first one called The Batman Begins. Now
Speaker 1: that is that what it's called. That's what it's called. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I thought the whole thing with um rachielle Ghul
Speaker 1: with a little half baked in it, you know, with
Speaker 1: let's face, and the second one just felt a lot
Speaker 1: more fully formed and a little more thought out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would agree with that for sure. What do you
Speaker 1: think of the Batman coming up Ram He's just shaking
Speaker 1: his head and smirking. No, well, no, I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be It's it's gonna be better than the
Speaker 1: last Batman movie we got, which Justice League. I didn't
Speaker 1: even bother I can I forget. I was thinking Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 1: I forgot about ben Afflex for a he never got
Speaker 1: his own Batman movie though, we never even gave him
Speaker 1: a chance, exactly, very forgettable. He was more about the
Speaker 1: shape of his head kind of he he was. Also
Speaker 1: he was the earlier Batman. He had like a big
Speaker 1: round head. It was weird looking. If you guys ever
Speaker 1: saw the video of him, like someone was saying, like
Speaker 1: an interview with him and the um, the guy that
Speaker 1: played Superman was like he basically was like, yeah, the
Speaker 1: reviews aren't that good, and ben Afflex face just looks
Speaker 1: like what the hell did I get myself into? Real
Speaker 1: and like he's just really depressed and everything. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. They had c g I the guy's mustache
Speaker 1: out for Superman, like, which is weird, Like, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: like he's first scheduling and stuff. It's just um. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the new Batman movie. It's just
Speaker 1: my expectations are pretty low. Who's directing it, who's I know,
Speaker 1: Pattinson and that's cool because I think he's he's he's
Speaker 1: gotten to such a point where I just don't know
Speaker 1: if he'd picked something that was stupid because he's been
Speaker 1: making such good choices. I don't think he's done anything dumb.
Speaker 1: Everything he's done has been weird and off the beaten
Speaker 1: path and a little bit challenging. So I wonder if
Speaker 1: he read the script and was like, this is cool.
Speaker 1: I could do this Batman in an interesting way. I
Speaker 1: think the Batman is Matt Reeves. What did he do?
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Matt Reeves? Did? Uh? I think
Speaker 1: his first movie was clover Field. Yeah, this is the
Speaker 1: clover Field. I mean let Me In. The remake of
Speaker 1: Let the Right One In, which was good, which was
Speaker 1: just fine. He did those two Planet of the Apes movies,
Speaker 1: which were also just fine. Now he's good. He's quality director.
Speaker 1: I mean the cast and it is pretty exciting. Robert Pattinson,
Speaker 1: Colin Farrell, uh Andy Circus. Oh, I love Andy Cercus.
Speaker 1: You don't like you know, I know we all had
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of mixed feelings
Speaker 1: about Joker, but I do appreciate that a movie like
Speaker 1: Joker has maybe set the tone for like, now we
Speaker 1: can kind of go off book a little bit, for
Speaker 1: some of these superhero origin stories get a little weird
Speaker 1: and gritty with it, you know, more so even than
Speaker 1: the Nolan stuff. Yeah, I agree Dan R. Evans's Terminator too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about that. That was that was
Speaker 1: better than the Termina And I thought the Terminator was great.
Speaker 1: So Terminator two holds up upon reviewing much more so
Speaker 1: than the Terminator does. Yeah, I mean Terminator is a
Speaker 1: little dated for sure. U. M. D. Charnlee says Sam
Speaker 1: Ramy with a double wamy. Spider Man two and Evil
Speaker 1: did too. Yeah, spider Man two was better. That was
Speaker 1: the that was the gem of that Triquill Triquil trilogy trilogy. Sure,
Speaker 1: there's just a regular word for that. Karl Serderberg says
Speaker 1: Godfather too. Ben mcvittie says Paddington too. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any of those, Oh, Chuck, you must watch it with
Speaker 1: your child, and I mean almost now because because they're
Speaker 1: so delightful and there's really thing. There's some jokes in
Speaker 1: there for adults, but it's nothing like offensive or weird.
Speaker 1: It's just it's a heartwarming, lovely, funny delightful movie is
Speaker 1: the first one in Again. Yeah, it's great, but to
Speaker 1: somehow managed. It's got all of these people from like
Speaker 1: weird British comedy in it, from The Mighty Boosh and
Speaker 1: other kind of weird like off the Beaten Path British comedies. Um,
Speaker 1: it's got Brandon Gleeson is in it, and he plays
Speaker 1: this kind of like hardened prison cook who you know
Speaker 1: who ends up having his heart touched by Paddington. It's
Speaker 1: just wonderful. I gotta check that out. Thomas Tenerello says
Speaker 1: Aliens far more entertaining movie and more character development. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be a divisive one. Yeah, man, I mean I
Speaker 1: liked Aliens, but I like Alien better. It does more
Speaker 1: with less Alien. They got some budget you changed. It
Speaker 1: was like Alien was more of a horror movie. Aliens
Speaker 1: was more of a sci fi action. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: They had the big mix and again, fun movie, but
Speaker 1: just totally different flavor, agreed Wendy White as star Trek
Speaker 1: to the Wrath of Con I'm bringing back a villain
Speaker 1: from the O G series was a fantastic idea, and
Speaker 1: the whole story line of Kirk dealing with his age
Speaker 1: and then topping it off with the death of Spock.
Speaker 1: What's not to Love? John Wick two from Bobby Feldman,
Speaker 1: Toy Story three from Bruce Conwell. Those are all great,
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard hard to pick. Uh Ian Swanner
Speaker 1: says Guardians of the Galaxy too. I think it's better
Speaker 1: in every way than the first one. We get better
Speaker 1: character development in action, all the music factors in the
Speaker 1: story plot and character development as well. I did quite
Speaker 1: like that one. Did you guys see Babe Pick in
Speaker 1: the City? Uh? Now I saw the first one. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say that was better in the first one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be really good. Yeah, it's really dark.
Speaker 1: George Miller actually directed that one instead of just producing.
Speaker 1: And so there's like a lot of homages to Mad
Speaker 1: Max and that type of stuff. And in the Babe
Speaker 1: movie there's a Madgis and Mad Max. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: recreate those a the Terra Dome with the thunder Dome
Speaker 1: has Mickey Rooney in it and all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: And like you got all these animals self realization of
Speaker 1: if they're human or if they're an animal. You know,
Speaker 1: there's like an orang of tang that won't go outside
Speaker 1: until he puts his clothes on. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: like a lot of weird, dark, dark stuff happening. It's
Speaker 1: completely different. And supposedly there's a cut out there where
Speaker 1: George Miller screened and parents are like, there's no way
Speaker 1: we're showing this to our kids, and they had to
Speaker 1: cut like twenty minutes out of interesting. And then he
Speaker 1: went on to do the tap dancing penguin movie Happy Feat.
Speaker 1: He did that one too. What a weird career ar Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do a few more here. Brian Fullinger
Speaker 1: says ace Ventura when nature calls, okay, old pal. Jeff
Speaker 1: Noel says obvious when's Godfather too? And T two stories
Speaker 1: are better character development and world building. Additionally, T two
Speaker 1: brought us a nice refinement of some ethics that were
Speaker 1: introduced in the biss That's true, That's very true. That
Speaker 1: was the very same effect. Actually, liquid metal thing that
Speaker 1: now does look pretty dated. Oh I think it still
Speaker 1: holds up. Okay and T two, Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that looks all right. It's just that no one uses
Speaker 1: that anymore, you know, so it just it has a
Speaker 1: flavor of that time. I think is the issue. Did
Speaker 1: you guys see the latest Terminator that was out this year,
Speaker 1: the true sequel? Did you? I did not, it was
Speaker 1: it was on the plane. Check it out on my
Speaker 1: next flight. Maybe you should see that on a bigger screening.
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, I don't think you should watch action
Speaker 1: movies on Yeah, that's probably a true screen that's a
Speaker 1: good point. Before Sunset, incredible sequel. That's Paul Wilder, that's right,
Speaker 1: and then he did a third one, right, yeah, before Sunrise.
Speaker 1: I think people wait all those pretty equally. They just
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty masterful trilo jar. Yeah, and hopefully
Speaker 1: they're gonna just keep doing those. That's my hope. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because boy do I love those films. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: a single one of them. Got a three way hole.
Speaker 1: There're goddamn, that's so cross. I just threw up in
Speaker 1: my I's like a lot of t Tuo and Aliens. Man,
Speaker 1: it is all over. We'll finish up here with Hannah
Speaker 1: Scarappa says how to Train Your Dragon Too. The audience
Speaker 1: had grown up since the first one, and the writers
Speaker 1: allowed for darker subject matter to be tackled, and the
Speaker 1: tech had progressed nicely over the four years. As well.
Speaker 1: Awesome good stuff everyone, good sequels, and we're gonna finish
Speaker 1: up with a little stream this. Think about what you
Speaker 1: guys have been watching if you want to chime in. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like I said, the aforementioned Shrill Season two is great
Speaker 1: so far, so much heart um, great writing, great acting.
Speaker 1: It's just really good stuff. And it's got a very
Speaker 1: interesting subplot from season one that is now carried over
Speaker 1: into season two with her troll. Yeah, just now to
Speaker 1: the part where they're like trying to find the troll. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's um, They're they're keep it going and in a
Speaker 1: creative and interesting way, or at least for now. He
Speaker 1: may not be around too long. I'm watching The Outsider.
Speaker 1: I am too. Uh. I love the first two episodes,
Speaker 1: the second, the third, and fourth felt felt a little
Speaker 1: more flat for me, and I'm kind of like like,
Speaker 1: come on, like I need something to happen here. That's
Speaker 1: where I'm at. Not bailing on it yet, but I'm
Speaker 1: not even not deliver on the first couple of episodes.
Speaker 1: Promise for me. Ramsey recommended it in one of our
Speaker 1: last episodes, and that's what it got me checking out,
Speaker 1: And I really enjoyed the first episode I watched it
Speaker 1: starting a little too late at night, and I get
Speaker 1: a little sleepy sometimes and I may have dozed near
Speaker 1: the end. But um, I really like the setup. I
Speaker 1: said what I said, Chuck, I enjoyed the set up though.
Speaker 1: I like them and no spoilers, but there's a a
Speaker 1: nice supernatural twist, but you're not quite sure if it
Speaker 1: is and if you have to question you know, people's
Speaker 1: motives and stuff. It's got a true detective you kind
Speaker 1: of vibe like like Brandon Ramsey was saying, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna give it a go. Ramsey, are you
Speaker 1: still on it? I am watching it, but it is
Speaker 1: falling flat for me. And those first two episodes I
Speaker 1: thought got me and I was like, Oh, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be great and maybe it'll pick yeah, because you're
Speaker 1: they're just like walking around and trying to figure it out,
Speaker 1: and you know they ever, there's really hasn't been much
Speaker 1: action or things happening. Yeah. I think like for a
Speaker 1: show like that, there needs to be one kind of
Speaker 1: big moment in revelation or something we learned, and I
Speaker 1: feel like episodes three and four haven't really had that. Uh.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's plotting along a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bail on it yet. I'm still
Speaker 1: into it. I think I missed Jason Bateman. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, this is great. I love Jason Bateman.
Speaker 1: But after the first episode you're like, whoa. But I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously he's gonna come back at some point. Again, if
Speaker 1: you haven't seen this, you might not want to hear
Speaker 1: this stuff. But yeah, there is a thing that's making
Speaker 1: the rounds on social media or Instagram account. Um, it's
Speaker 1: a special Q and A the Softie Brothers shot to
Speaker 1: go along with screenings of uncut gems. Now that it's
Speaker 1: gotten like more buzz and stuff, and it's like they
Speaker 1: do you know a Mels diner in l A. It's
Speaker 1: like famous, I guess, and I think that and it
Speaker 1: looks really cool. It's like they've got hidden cameras and
Speaker 1: this diner and uh, the meeting Adam Sandler, but they
Speaker 1: kind of trick him into doing it where it's sort
Speaker 1: of like a candy camera thing and then different folks
Speaker 1: come by and ask questions and Jason Bateman shows up
Speaker 1: as one of their special guests. And I really want
Speaker 1: to see it. I guess you can only see it
Speaker 1: by a going and seeing the movie in the theater again.
Speaker 1: But I think it's neat that they put their their
Speaker 1: touches on all these things. I wonder if lives here
Speaker 1: full time now, because they shot The Outsider in Atlanta
Speaker 1: as well. Ozark two seasons have been here. Surely he's
Speaker 1: wised up and bought a house, right, I would think
Speaker 1: he's probably got you know, it's just so comparatively real
Speaker 1: estate cheap. It's not just Angela's fairly expensive. It is,
Speaker 1: but compared to abously not like l A. He could
Speaker 1: throw down on the house. Jason Bateman, where's your house?
Speaker 1: Where do you live? Knock on your door with some microphones. Man,
Speaker 1: I want to get him in here. He's just so
Speaker 1: goddamn busy. Even if I managed to get in touch
Speaker 1: with people, he would I'm sure he'd be like, oh sure,
Speaker 1: I got plenty of time to just trop by for sure,
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm sorry, I'm not to deal, but I'm
Speaker 1: reading more into this, uh, this new Son of Cronenberg movie,
Speaker 1: and it just looks incredible. It's also it's also got
Speaker 1: Andrea Reisenberg in it, who was my Mandy he's my
Speaker 1: Mandy how much I love Mandy. And it looks like
Speaker 1: that kind of movie, like a really you know, psychotically
Speaker 1: existential nightmare kind of thing. I'm really really into this.
Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks tricking out for the tip. Rams. And
Speaker 1: then the final thing I've been watching, guys, is this
Speaker 1: cheerleading documentary cheer I've heard it's incredible. Have you heard
Speaker 1: of this, Ramsey? Yeah, it's great, dude. We have no
Speaker 1: interest in cheerleading, Emily or myself. Uh. It could be
Speaker 1: a behind the scenes of a Broadway show, musical cast,
Speaker 1: or a dance troupe. It could be hell, it could
Speaker 1: be a documentary about a football team. It's about an
Speaker 1: intense group of people and athletes coming together to work hard.
Speaker 1: And he's got these great, rich storylines, beautiful photography. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's awesome in every way. So I highly recommended. Don't
Speaker 1: don't think uh kind of this cheerleading thing. If you
Speaker 1: like a well told, rich story, then you're gonna like it.
Speaker 1: I think it was kai Risdall, who does the Whatever
Speaker 1: the Money Show UM on MPR. He was he He
Speaker 1: was talking about the business of cheerleading, and it was
Speaker 1: a story about how there's literally like a monopoly around
Speaker 1: cheerleading supplies and stuff. But he he mentioned that show
Speaker 1: off handedly and was just like, if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: where have you been? You know, it's really good repelling.
Speaker 1: I mean I would like in it to the same
Speaker 1: as like people that didn't like basketball would get something
Speaker 1: out of watching Hoop Dreams. Uh. You know, these are
Speaker 1: hum men stories about the human condition. Totally at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, all right, well that's all I got, guys,
Speaker 1: you got anything else. I watched the first episode of mcmillions.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I just added that to my my old cue.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not bad. Um, I'm I'm there for Uh,
Speaker 1: I'd like to stay around six. Maybe this is about
Speaker 1: the hoax. Yeah, and I remember that because I do
Speaker 1: remember that being one like you, you'd win occasionally, you'd
Speaker 1: win a couple of bucks or a free fry. There
Speaker 1: was a thing where like it was fun to play
Speaker 1: because you would kind of get return on your investment.
Speaker 1: But I guess the deal was what that I don't
Speaker 1: fully understand. I don't want to spoil it, but like
Speaker 1: somebody just staged the whole thing, or there really was
Speaker 1: no real prize money. I don't well basically like there
Speaker 1: was like a sticky note on some guy's desk and
Speaker 1: the FBI and some guy picked it up as like
Speaker 1: monopoly fraud McDonald's and he picked it up, It's like
Speaker 1: what is this and he started looking into it and
Speaker 1: then supposedly like within the first five minutes, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like people only people who have won it or
Speaker 1: from the same family. And then Nick talks about the odds.
Speaker 1: Then the FBI brings in McDonald's, and McDonald's has no
Speaker 1: clue how this happened. And so it's like that's basically
Speaker 1: the whole setup for the whole thing in the first episode,
Speaker 1: which I mean, it's pretty intense and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously there's like a podcast that same
Speaker 1: can't wait. Yeah, and I also saw a color out
Speaker 1: of space. You saw it? Yeah, I did see. I
Speaker 1: actually enjoyed it was a it was a lot of fun. Um.
Speaker 1: As far as Nick Cage on the cajometer, he definitely
Speaker 1: is ten out of ten. So he had me at
Speaker 1: he he goes full cage um quite a few times. Um. So,
Speaker 1: but if you don't like Nick Cage, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's for you. But it's still it was still
Speaker 1: enjoyable even if without him. I can't really guy's name,
Speaker 1: but it's directed by that dude who kind of tanked
Speaker 1: his career when he did The Island of Dr Moreau.
Speaker 1: That really the one where where U Brando and Brando
Speaker 1: kind of loses his mind and he's got an earpiece
Speaker 1: where he's getting lines fed and he wears this white
Speaker 1: face makeup and like a T shirt over his head
Speaker 1: and it's for no reason. There's a documentary about it,
Speaker 1: the whole like ship show that is that movie. But
Speaker 1: this guy came back and apparently he's doing quite competent schlock,
Speaker 1: which come into visually amazing and all that stuff. And yeah,
Speaker 1: all the acting outside of cage was was great as well. No,
Speaker 1: if you don't start a band called competent Schlock, I
Speaker 1: do like that. It could be a crowd rock type
Speaker 1: band like a can. Yeah maybe. All right, everyone, thanks
Speaker 1: for tuning in, and uh we will be in your
Speaker 1: ear holes once again next Monday. For more podcasts for
