WEBVTT - Mini Crush #168 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.960 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.680 Hey Everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday with Charles W. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.400 Chuck Bryant, and Noel Brown. What does who I mean? Chuck? 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.199 Is that a military thing? Like? When who are? Is 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.800 that just like an al pacino thing? Well? I mean, 0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.559 I think it can be military and nature. I know that. 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.559 I thinking marines might have said it. That's what I find. 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.199 Maybe a marine thing. But you know, my brother in 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.920 law is a very high ranking marine, Noel, he is 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.760 one of us. Would you consider him elite? Was he 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.840 an elite marine? He is? He's one of eighteen three 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.319 star generals in the Marine Corps. And uh, that's you know, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.040 he's almost at the tippy top. And then it goes 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:09.920 and I looked this up recently. That's why I'm I 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.720 know these stats because we were like, jeez, I wonder 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.400 if he's going to make it to four star and 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:17.840 be at the very tippy top. And we're like, surely 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.960 he will. But eighteen make three star, three make four star, 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:27.000 so fifteen super tippy top marines get told no. So 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.800 you never know no, So you like you what you say? 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.200 I want to be a forester to apply or or 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.120 do someone just like awarded to you based on It's 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:38.320 it's you know, it's weird. It's like any other job 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.520 management system, like you get promotions and raises based on 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.039 tenure and uh, I mean in that way, it's like 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.160 any job. But yeah, he you will. I think eventually 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.680 you will be up for that promotion like under consideration, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.800 and then you either get it or you don't, and 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.640 you progress in your career or you don't. Interesting. It 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.760 is interesting. But he's been my and my family since 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.280 I was a little ten or eleven years old, so 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.520 you know, I started dating my sister in high school, 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.320 so he's like my brother. But anyway, the reason I 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.560 say that is I know that er it was a 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.960 Marine Corps thing, not even the Hua it went down 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:24.080 to er. Okay, it's just sound and a noise thing 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.680 they make. I don't know what it means. And there's 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.280 there's probably former Marines out there listening and laughing at 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.760 me right now because right in, I don't know how 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.639 Pacino comes into it except for that movie. Well that's 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.680 what I'm saying. I just think of it in his voice. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.280 It was that sent of a woman. Yeah, I never 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.040 saw that believe it or not. It's fine. Did they 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.400 do the voice? You do a decent machino, right, he 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:54.080 got a great that's a good one. You know, people 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.280 really got to kick out of our herd zg Christoft 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.800 Waltz and that we had Christoph Walts is on point. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.120 My dude, I'm serious. I was blown away. I was 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.200 not expecting. I want them to do a buddy movie 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.520 together all of a sudden. That's a great idea. You know. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.840 It's a great idea because they both have those kind 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.240 of fun accents. But one is, you know, Christoph Waltz 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.400 is so jaunpty and then you've got Hertzog, which is 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.280 just so dire. I don't know who that was, say 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:28.320 so dire, so die. Yeah, I think it would be 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.160 a fun combination. Put them in a buddy yeah, a 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.280 road movie. Yeah, I think that makes sense because, you know, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.119 because Christoph Walts is sort of the more upbeat nihilist, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.080 you know, and uh and and her is the really 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.760 like in the fucking Weeds nihilist, you know. But between 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:51.760 the yeah, well, because Christoph Walts would be like, it 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.400 doesn't matter, we could just kill them all, and Vernon 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:59.320 Hurtzog would be like it is inevitable. Yeah, exactly. All right, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.080 now this is this is a themed episode? I thought 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.920 I dropped this on you. Do you have a guess? 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:12.520 Oh god, a themed episode? No? Is it? Is it 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:17.520 date related? Seasonal? It's nothing related to anything? How could 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.680 I how could I possibly guess? I don't know. I 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.279 just thought you might pay attention and see what's going 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.080 on the movie crush page. Oh I see, I see, 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.560 I mean, I I scroll. I gotta say I don't 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.120 do Facebook nearly as much as I used to. Instagram 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.160 is good, but uh no, this is a tribute to 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.440 the movie trailer. I love a movie trailer. Maybe Mike 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.760 can put together some special music and drop it right here. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.320 I would be fabulous. Mike, you did a great job 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:51.080 in advance. All right, how about that there was the music? 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.520 Uh Mike. By the way, everyone, we need to welcome Mike. 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.960 I don't even think I've mentioned on the show yet. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.440 We have a new producer. I'm just getting shuttled around 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.039 the company like stop yesterday's garbage datted around like a 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.880 ball of string once and now. But welcome Mike. Mike's 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.760 doing a great job, and uh, I can't wait to 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.160 meet Mike in person. Mike is a lovely guy, really 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:18.560 talented musician, great producer, fabulous NPR background, and uh he 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.400 joined my team recently, um, working on some other stuff, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.680 and so it made sense to bring him into this show. Yeah, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.039 I used you know, now that I saw the picture 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.559 of him, I was like, Oh, that's Mike. I remember 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.480 seeing Mike around the office. Mike also is one of 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.960 the founders of an incredible Atlanta based literary event, long 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.679 running literary event with another guy named Nick Takowski, who 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.240 is a talented writer who has written podcast stuff for 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.080 US UM for the show Tomorrow's Monsters starring John Boyega 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.240 drop um. But Mike and Nick started this thing called 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.400 Right Club, UM like fight Club, but right where it's 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.560 like a pub literary slam kind of event where to 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.200 writers kind of go up and do pieces, you know, 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.040 one after the other with a timer, UM and Mike 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.679 and Nick often m see them and they're very clever 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.800 and keep it moving. And then with audience applause, you 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.160 determine who wins, and then there's like a brackety situation 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.120 where the winner of that one goes up against the 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.800 winner of the other winner. Uh. And there's so much 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.839 fun and really really really talented writer and lovely person. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.400 That's welcome and all. You know, we should plug Tomorrow's 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.120 Monsters too, because that is former guest Dan Bush uh 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.120 and once it will be future guest again. We're gonna 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.560 have Dan back. But Dan did a scripted fiction uh 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:36.640 series for us called Tomorrow's Monsters starring John Boyega, which 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.000 which was a great get and I believe that thing. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.360 They're already trying to get that thing option for for 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.120 TV or film, right absolutely, that's amazing, so cool. Way 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.000 to go, Dan, give it a shot. Everybody is that 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.200 three three D audio or is it just reg it's 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.120 just regular? Okay, all right, nol So let's get it 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.040 go in here. Uh. The first thing I'm gonna do 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.040 is give a brief overview of movie trailers and what 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.320 they are in their history, and on movie Crush, I 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.440 get to do what I don't get to do on 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.320 stuff you should know, which is basically just do the 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.479 Wikipedia thing. We've never done that on stuff you should know, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.920 and that's why it's still the only thing that bugs 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.640 me about our reviews. And I don't really don't care 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.160 about reviews at this point, and I never really did. 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.280 But when I see reviews that say two goods just 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:22.720 fucking read Wikipedia pages, that burns me up because we've 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.320 never used Wikipedia, not even as a source, much less 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.960 just reading the page. At least, no on your reviews 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.240 calling you a cock. So you called a cook just 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.960 because of the conspiracy thing. There's just so many people 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.480 that are just like, it's an interesting crowd, so it 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.760 rubs you. The rubs people the wrong way when we 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.680 even get remotely political about anything. But it's like, in 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.200 this day and age, how can you not somewhat talk 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:47.800 about these kinds of you know what I mean? So 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.160 we sort of we pissed some people off. But I 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.840 want to know why is it called a trailer? I 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.240 hope you got I know you'll get there, chuck out. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.440 It's the first thing out of is uh. They used 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.400 to be shown after the movie. They used to trail 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.560 the movie, and that's why they were called trailers right there. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.320 But they learned pretty quickly that no one gave a 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.520 ship and didn't stick around, and so they said maybe 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.640 we should frontload these things. And so then you know, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:15.240 back in the day, they used to have uh, cartoons 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.120 and newsreels and stuff like that before movies, and that 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.520 was all a part of it. So they just started 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.720 including the trailer at the front loaded bit of the movie, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.360 which is of course what they still do today. It 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.880 says here that the very first trailer was in November 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:34.440 nine when an advertising manager for the low theater chain, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.080 Marcus Lowe, produced a short promotional film for the movie 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.520 The Pleasure Seekers. So the very first I think it 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.600 was on Broadway, but the very first movie trailer was 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.480 The Pleasure Seekers. So if anyone ever asked you a 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.000 triviae question, you can keep that in your hip pocket. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.160 Was that about a bunch of sex addicts? Uh? Doubt it? Okay, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:02.120 not in uh. And it says here that they called 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.360 it in the newspaper The Nebraska Daily Star. They called 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.559 it an entirely new and unique stunt, and that moving 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.880 pictures of the rehearsals and other incidents connected with the 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.760 production will be sent out in advance of the show, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.559 to be presented at Loews Picture Houses and will take 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.480 the place of much of the billboard advertising. So that 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.840 this they thought they were going to do away with billboards, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.360 which they of course did not do. You don't see 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:29.360 him a lot outside of Los Angeles a little bit. Yeah, 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.200 occasionally it's but you're right, it is very l a 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.600 centric thing and and largely seeming to be like almost 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.319 industry facing, you know, or for like awards season. Yeah, 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.560 it's definitely there's some ego involved to have your movie 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.520 on the big billboard there on the sunset strip. Now, 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.600 now that's that's not to say that New York is 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.880 another big one. First with subway ads. You know, you 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.600 see him in subways a lot in New York. True, 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.800 that is very true. Uh. It also says until the 0:09:55.880 --> 0:10:01.080 late nineteen fifties, UM trailers were mostly uh done by 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.880 the National Screen Service, and it basically just pulled out 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:10.440 some some key scenes with big large text with music. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.600 Like those early trailers were a little bit rough. If 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.559 you see those old trailers. In the sixties, they got 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.800 a little bit different because they got rid of the 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.920 text and started doing these montages instead of just like 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:25.440 a scene from a movie, and started editing these things together. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.160 And this basically the sixties was when we saw the 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.800 birth of what we kind of know as the movie 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.880 trailer today. Uh. In ninety three they started showing them online. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:36.920 I remember in the early days of the internet, going 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.120 to Apple movie trailers every week to watch those movie 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.480 trailers because I loved because that was a good thing. Yeah, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.400 that that sort of fell by the wayside a little 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.600 bit didn't now sort of because YouTube came along, I 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.679 think and kind of just took over because if you 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.760 want to watch any movie trailer, you can just type 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.920 it into YouTube. But I used to love going to 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.840 Apple movie trailers. That was a regular thing for me. 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.640 I guess I'd just see him pop up shared, you know, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.120 and like Instagram stories are like Facebook post, people just 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.679 like share it when any trailer comes out. But I 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.880 don't go like trolling form every week. But that was 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.800 a nice little ritual. I did the same thing. Uh. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.880 There are dozens of companies down the United States that 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.280 make movie trailers, course based in New York and l 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.120 A mainly, and uh, there's sort of like many ad 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.360 agencies as almost, and a lot of times they're working 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.480 from the the dailies, like they're they're cutting these things 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.480 together before the movie is even finished. So that's why 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.640 sometimes you will see scenes and bits that don't make 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.839 it into the final film they're in the trailer, which 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.240 can be confusing. Yeah, I mean, it really is an art, 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.680 and nothing worse than I mean, I'm sure there's you know, 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.840 people say this all the time, there's nothing worse than 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.360 a movie trailer that like spoils the movie, um, which 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.600 which can happen? I don't know. That's why I say 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.600 there's an art. I think there's like and there's also 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.640 like there's the long form trailer, and there's like the 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.439 teaser trailer, which is you're going to get into. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.840 I like a good teaser. Uh. And you know, some 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.679 times they can use that to their advantage and all 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.920 they can they can true, if you have like one 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.760 person in your movie that's a big star that's in 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.439 like one scene, they might play that up a lot 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.360 more and then you'll get in there and be like, 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:16.520 they're not even in the movie. So uh, you know. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.040 Now it's a part of the fabric of going to 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.560 a movie. There's like twenty minutes of that stuff. And 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.800 in the big, big movies and now nol as you know, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.120 for the big, big, highly anticipated trailers, some people might 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.040 even buy a ticket to a movie just to see 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.080 that trailer, like the New Star Wars trailer or whatever, 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.280 because they know it's going to be front loaded at 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.520 the beginning of whatever big Tin Bowl movie is out. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.280 That's right, And that's usually like the exclusive where you 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.120 see it there in the theater for the first time 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.480 before even they like put it on TV or something 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.400 like that. Yeah, which is really interesting. I mean the 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.320 notion of someone buying a ticket to a movie just 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.600 to see that trailer. I mean, I would think they 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.280 would stay for the movie, but you never know, people 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.920 might even leave Noel, which is very strange. Hmm yep, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:07.319 that's very weird. But I had a couple of questions. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.640 I posted the movie Crushers on the trailer Front and 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.960 they really got into it. The first one is very simple, Noll, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.160 what is one movie trailer that you will never forget seeing? 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.920 Oh my goodness Blair Blair, Which is a good one 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.040 for me because and we've talked about the great viral 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.959 campaign they did leading up to that movie. I'll never 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:34.000 forget that movie trailer because it just uh enthralled me 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.199 because I was tricked. I was just like, oh my god, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.560 it's a real is it not? So? I remember, like 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.400 even the night that I saw that trailer, do you 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.680 have one? I can't think of a trailer like that 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.800 that that that really blew blew me out of the water. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.600 I mean I wish I could. I'm gonna think about 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.959 it as I hear some more from from the from 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.080 the Crushers. I'm sure some of these will will trigger 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.959 you in a good way. Joe bomb Gardner says Jurassic 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.320 Park an adventure sixty million years in the a King. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:02.760 He says he was fresh off reading the book as 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280 a young teen and seeing the ripples in the water 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.679 glass blew my mind. I was gonna say that one actually, 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.760 but I couldn't remember what about it was memorable to me, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.520 But that is I definitely distinctly remember that part in 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.880 the trailer. You know how they did that water glass trick. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:18.920 I think most people know this by now, I don't 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.680 tell me. Well, they wanted the perfect center out ripple, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.120 as if it's coming from the center, and they they 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.080 had a guitar string at the bottom of that glass, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.720 and they were plucking a guitar string. When you say 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.600 at the bottom of the glass, you mean some kind 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:41.080 of like like vibrating through the surface that it was, well, 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.640 I think they strung it through the bottom of the glass. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.120 You know, they got they built a special glass with 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.280 a guitar string through the bottom of the glass as 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.000 if it was you know, strung guitar. I see like vertically, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.920 not horizontally vertical, like like attached on the top and 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.680 then pulled taught from the bottom and plucked. And then 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.320 it makes sense because that's exactly that makes I did 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.640 not know that, chuck, And that's fascinating that that that 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.720 that's exactly what the fact would do. I think. I 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.240 think that's right. This is all from memory. So if 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.080 I got it wrong, I'm sorry. But that's really cool. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.800 That's really cool. And it also makes you think like 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.280 if they experimented with different string gages and like, because 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.480 you know, they really wanted the perfect thing for that 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:25.480 shot because it was such an iconic shot. Um. Linda Baccaleo, 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.600 one of our friends, says, easy, thank you for asking 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.600 the Watchmen before one of the Batman movies, Deep Cut 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.960 Smashing Pumpkin Song is the music definitely helped because as 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:39.800 soon as that came on, all of my senses perked 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:44.120 up and I became immediately entranced with the entire thing. Yeah, 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.400 I think, especially if you're a Watchman fan, to see 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.040 that come to life. I remember that trailer it was. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.600 It was a big deal. Yeah it was. It was 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.920 Eric as Sims says, Lord of the Rings. My sixteen 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.600 year old brain was very ready to nerd out on 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:05.640 a well made version of a well of book series. Uh. Also, also, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.960 I was horny and there's some hot guys in it, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.520 and I didn't yet know what to do with that energy. 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.680 So I saw this in the theater five times. That's 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.040 very cute, Carrie Stones has Transformers transported me back in 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.560 time to my childhood, even though it was only a 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:26.440 black screen and a voice. Yeah, that was a big 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.000 movie for a lot of people. I mean, it wasn't 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.600 very good, But I mean, were you too old for 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.600 that stuff? Or was that in your alley? No? I 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.120 think that that kind of that kind of passed me by. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.040 Did it really when you were a kid? I just 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:45.920 didn't Maybe it was before your time? Yeah, I don't know. Interesting. Uh, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.840 let me see another Jurassic Park Tony Cox is the Matrix? 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.840 Do you remember that one? The Matrix is one that 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:57.040 I remember seeing the poster for that it was coming 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.360 and I thought it looked really interesting. But I so again, 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.520 I'm not a distinct memory for like, oh, I'm so 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.000 excited about the Matrix because of the trailer. Ny says, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.080 it was fourteen watching TV in my bedroom. The trailer 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.080 came on. It was so different to anything else i'd seen. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.919 Ran out of the living room and said, Mom, I 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.399 think I found a movie we'll all enjoy. It looks amazing. Sure, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.919 I remember that one because it did look different. I 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.760 think I remember seeing that that scrolling green stuff, that 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.040 code that looked cool, and that got me sort of 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.880 right out of the gate. And that was really the 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:32.240 first use of that kind of three sixty bullet time effect, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.160 wasn't it. That really was created that for that movie, 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.960 and it got done to death and kind of went away. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.280 I don't. I mean, people don't even do that anymore much, 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:44.600 do they. It's well, it's something that Zack Snyder is 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.200 quite fond of. He still does it. I mean, not 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.840 the three sixty spin, but just like the hyper slow 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.199 mo bullet time, they're they're sort of I'm sort of 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.840 combining two tropes. Because the thing that in the Matrix 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.520 that was very specific was the spin around where they 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.800 have like a ring of cameras that we're all filming. 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.679 That technology is so cool. It was so cool and 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.840 but the thing is like, once you've seen it in 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.439 the Matrix, then you see in other places it almost 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.560 starts to feel a little hackney and kind of cliche. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.080 And honestly, I rewatched The Matrix recently and it is 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.560 a victim of its own genius by it looking a 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.399 little dated now because of that effect. But it's like 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.000 that they're the ones who did it, you know, not 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.680 to me. I still think it looks good, but that's 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.040 just my take. Yeah, total, have you seen the new trailers? 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.760 Speaking of trailers for Army of the Dead in Zack Snyder? Wait, 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.000 what is this? No, no, no, I don't know what 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.800 it is? This like another like it just dropped. It's 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:42.680 a New Dead movie and uh it's Evil Dead or 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:47.199 like like Dead series but has Tig Nataro in it 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.280 as as a toughie and the it's a heist zombie movie. 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.439 So the idea is that there's this money in Vegas 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.879 after the zombie apocalypse that this elite team is of 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.520 like former soldiers, has to go get and then fight 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.320 off an army of zombies to get it, and it 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:08.320 looks like a lot of fun. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.959 I like seeing her do that. She's happy, great for it. Man, Like, 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.680 she has a really good look for that movie, and 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:17.680 that kind of she's all like loaded down with like 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:23.160 you know, like a bandalro type, you know, like gun cartridges. 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.879 What do you call those looks? Very cool? Yeah, that's 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.679 the word. That's the word, gun cartridges. I'm clearly not 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.080 a gun person. Clearly more of a video game person 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.520 than a gun person. Uh. Steve Rothogg says the teaser 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.639 for clover Field, that one definitely sold some movie tickets, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.440 even without saying the title of the movie. Yeah, I 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.399 remember that. That was a brilliant campaign. I do agree. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:51.400 Lisa Pollutzi says the Force awakens after the disappointing prequels, 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.600 this felt more like the original trilogy. Totally. Yep. That 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:57.239 one gave me chills. Actually, oh boy, I remember this one. 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.920 Roger Dodgers says the original Alien was nine or ten. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.080 That teaser came out airing on TV. It scared me 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.800 so much. O't run out of the room. Yeah in space, 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.280 no one can hear you scream. One of the great taglines. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.760 I think we've talked about that, Chuck. That's one that 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.879 just exists so singularly that I never even associated with 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.840 a movie. I always thought it was from like a 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.879 old episode of the Twilight Zone, like something that had 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.639 just been around forever. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great tag 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.200 I wonder who wrote that. It's such an art form, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.520 you know, to write a good tagline. Totally. Let me 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.880 see Katie Howard clar says Cliffhanger, that awful Stallone movie. 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.320 I was twelve when the combination of music and heights 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:41.119 still gives me sweaty palms. I never saw that, did you. No. 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:45.359 I think it's that's one of those movies that it 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.600 is what it is. I don't think it pretended to 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.680 be high art or anything. Absolutely, but I'm surprised I 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.320 didn't see it. Mcmcdonnod says, there will be blood. I 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:55.960 don't think I've ever been more excited to see a 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.040 movie after the trailer. That's a good point, because it 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:03.719 had that really a testing Johnny Greenwood choppy like you know, 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:09.040 strings in it, beauty shots and no man so cool. 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.040 That's a great trailer. It was also one of the 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:12.760 ones where you're like, I don't quite know what this 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.000 is about, but you knew there was some oil involved 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:17.879 a little bit, and it was just like you know, 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.760 lots of tense faces and very very well. And it 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:23.920 was Paul Thomas Anderson. If you were already a fan 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.439 of him, seeing him dive into a completely different world, 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:31.080 then you had seen him working before this this period. 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.359
