Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to Mini Crush Monday with me chucking him nol.
Speaker 1: How's everyone doing? Chuck right? Not so great? Okay, I'm good.
Speaker 1: My voice sounds funny this morning. I have like a
Speaker 1: sleepy voice. What I've been up for hours? I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with me? What time did you
Speaker 1: get up? Though? Eight? I guess that's two hours hours?
Speaker 1: It's plural? Yeah, what do he sounds sleepy? I don't know, dude,
Speaker 1: I just had I've never my voice hasn't hasn't fully
Speaker 1: woken up even though my brain has. Have you spoken
Speaker 1: to anyone else today? I have? I had a call
Speaker 1: at nine am. I spoke a plenty, but I noticed
Speaker 1: I sounded extra sleepy on that call. Um. No, No,
Speaker 1: let's see, it wasn't like a constant talking thing. So
Speaker 1: maybe i'll I'll exercise my old vocal chords on this
Speaker 1: one and I'll start to sound a little more human.
Speaker 1: I'm great to know. I'm have a catch up on
Speaker 1: our list here, since this is episode one of two
Speaker 1: that we're recording. Yes, we just had her father's days.
Speaker 1: How was yours? It was good? Mine took place in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Yeah, let's hear about the trip. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: went for a work trip and I took my kid
Speaker 1: with me, and uh, had a little bit of downtime,
Speaker 1: and she's, you know, into vinyl all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, she's just you know, as compared
Speaker 1: to last year. And we went she's her tastes and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, interests have changed, as it turns out. And
Speaker 1: so we went to Amba and she got some cool
Speaker 1: records and took it a little tokyo and went to
Speaker 1: a bunch of like cool anime stores and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: and went for a drive up Mulholland and had a
Speaker 1: little picnic overlooking the city. And it was really nice.
Speaker 1: That was great. That's lovely, knowl Did you get some
Speaker 1: business done? Oh big time? Yeah. I mean I had
Speaker 1: like a whole, you know, day and a half working
Speaker 1: in the studio in the in our Hollywood studio, in
Speaker 1: our Hollywood studio on Cosmo Street. That's right. How's everyone
Speaker 1: doing well? It was. It was one of the first
Speaker 1: sessions that has happened there since the pandemic. Most of
Speaker 1: the show's out there still recording from home, but Um,
Speaker 1: they made some time for me and the show that
Speaker 1: I'm working on, and I had the run of the
Speaker 1: place for a day and a half. And I'm surprised. Uh.
Speaker 1: I would think they would get back into it soon.
Speaker 1: In person, I would too, and I think they are.
Speaker 1: But my session was one of the first that had
Speaker 1: been done there. In fact, there was some a few
Speaker 1: pieces of equipment that they had been taken home, um
Speaker 1: for some remote setups, and they were kind of like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we don't have enough mics, so we
Speaker 1: had to kind of run around and scramble and get
Speaker 1: sex stram mix. But it all worked out beautifully. Uh. So, Noel,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you had a good Father's Day. Mine was
Speaker 1: very low without going on in our personal family situation,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like a big celebratory day. But does
Speaker 1: happen right, Oh for sure? For sure. Um. I am
Speaker 1: actually having a bit of a belated Father's Day cookout
Speaker 1: thing this weekend because we were traveling, So me and
Speaker 1: the kid and her mom and her sister are gonna
Speaker 1: do a little pool cookout thing for like a belated
Speaker 1: Father's Day. So I'm looking for that. Well, that's good.
Speaker 1: I don't make a big deal out of Father's Day.
Speaker 1: I tried to just maybe, uh, spend it with my family.
Speaker 1: That's what you want to do, right for sure? Exactly,
Speaker 1: I don't get the Father's Day. Who you want to like,
Speaker 1: I want to go play golf all day and be
Speaker 1: away from my family. No, no, why that's what it's for.
Speaker 1: It for spending time with the family and the kids. Exactly. Agreed.
Speaker 1: All right, No, we're gonna get going here with a
Speaker 1: post I put up, which is you are a film director.
Speaker 1: This is the game. Everyone's a film director in this game.
Speaker 1: I love it. Uh. And you can only cast one
Speaker 1: one of the actors in your whole movie, and the
Speaker 1: studio takes care of all the rest of the casting.
Speaker 1: So this is sort of like, um, it could run
Speaker 1: the gamut from who who would you just most want
Speaker 1: to work with? Two if you only had one person
Speaker 1: to cast, who would be your your ringer to come
Speaker 1: in and potentially, you know, save a movie from potentially forecasting. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so you know, it kind of depends on how
Speaker 1: you take this question and left it a little more
Speaker 1: open ended. And uh, it could be somebody have a
Speaker 1: big fat crush on maybe you're a star and you
Speaker 1: want to while you would be able to cast yourself,
Speaker 1: I guess what not well, because you can only cast one,
Speaker 1: but it could be yourself. Okay, sure cast yourself. But
Speaker 1: my whole point was you cast yourself to like have
Speaker 1: a kissy, kissy scene with someone that you got, like
Speaker 1: the hottie, which can't do that because you can't. That's right,
Speaker 1: that that that is the imitation of this game. There's
Speaker 1: some good ones in here. I mean, I guess this
Speaker 1: ultimately is like, who is to you the most versatile
Speaker 1: kind of ringer, you know, actor that you could bring
Speaker 1: in that would like elevate the production? Right? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that's one take on it. So we'll start here
Speaker 1: with old friend Don Morris says Emma Thompson. She could
Speaker 1: punch up my script. Yeah, that's not a bad idea, kids,
Speaker 1: the one who can also do some writing? Is that
Speaker 1: a thing she does? I didn't know that. I think
Speaker 1: Emma Thompson writes some I was thinking, sorry, I was
Speaker 1: thinking of Emma Stone. Emma Thompson is like was married
Speaker 1: to Kenneth Brannaw for many years. If I'm not I
Speaker 1: believe she's done some screenwriting. Emma Stone, she can't write
Speaker 1: her name Noll. Let's be honest. Not that she's a writer.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone's a writer. It's no, but it is
Speaker 1: like you do tend to run into folks that you
Speaker 1: know have their pet screenplay they've been working on, even
Speaker 1: if they're mainly known for being an actor. That's right,
Speaker 1: any raw says, I'm gonna go with Carol Lombard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can go with living or dead. I think she
Speaker 1: was Clark Gable's wife and a wonderful actress in the
Speaker 1: old Screwball comedies until her premature death in a crash.
Speaker 1: She'd have been fun to work with. Okay, so there's
Speaker 1: fun to work with. That's a good one. I mean,
Speaker 1: do you have one. I really like that dude, Caleb
Speaker 1: Landry Jones a lot getting this person up. He played
Speaker 1: the psychopath with the lacrosse stick and get Out. Um.
Speaker 1: He's kind of been Yeah, he's he's been cast. I
Speaker 1: just like him. He's a good he's he's a I
Speaker 1: really dig him a lot. I think he's a really
Speaker 1: interesting face. He has a very interesting face. He tends
Speaker 1: to play offbeat, kind of psycho type characters or the
Speaker 1: very least kind of weirdos. But I'll tell you, man,
Speaker 1: he made this record. Um that's called gosh, it's called
Speaker 1: like White Flag or something like that. Um, it is incredible.
Speaker 1: It sounds like Tom Waits meets Sergeant Pepper or something.
Speaker 1: The dude is like an absolute mavericky kind of weirdo
Speaker 1: and I love him very much. So that's why you're
Speaker 1: casting him, because you can hang out with this guy.
Speaker 1: I want to hang out with him and make some music.
Speaker 1: Maybe make some music. Maybe you know, smoke some weed
Speaker 1: or something, some some jazz cigarettes. Maybe might be involved.
Speaker 1: I think it's possible. Okay, I get it. What if
Speaker 1: he was like a straight edge and he was like,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't party, man, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Watch interviews with him. There's no there's no mistaking where
Speaker 1: he's coming from. Which which what is that? Which garage
Speaker 1: he parks his car? Yes, exactly, Rachel Flinger says, Gary Oldman. Sure,
Speaker 1: talk about versatile Steve Scott says Val Kilmer pre Batman.
Speaker 1: He was so brilliant and so fun and so many roles. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he'll get along fine with whomember the
Speaker 1: studio chooses, right, Yeah, Yeah, I'm sure. Eric Z says
Speaker 1: Kate Winslett. Yeah, that's really not a bad choice. She's amazing.
Speaker 1: Just watched behind the scenes of Mayor of Easttown. Did
Speaker 1: you finish the show. I haven't watched any of it. Oh,
Speaker 1: you just watched them behind the scenes. No, that's the
Speaker 1: comment from the listener. Oh, I thought you were saying.
Speaker 1: I remember you said that you'd watched one episode of
Speaker 1: it and then it was too depressing, and then I
Speaker 1: that is correct. I didn't even make it through fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes of an episode, but I did watch one of
Speaker 1: your rex and that's coming up and stream this uh.
Speaker 1: And I think it's the first time either one of
Speaker 1: us has watched any of each other's recommendations. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Actually that's not true. I've watched a couple of more beers,
Speaker 1: but you've never watched one of mine. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Shock name one, Josh, you had never seen Jaws until
Speaker 1: I recommended it to you. Just joking. I've I've rewatched it.
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way, Liar, Rachel, I've watched. I
Speaker 1: surely have watched some of your recommendations, Chuck, because they're
Speaker 1: always fine one. Rachel Stone says Sam Rockwell, virsatile and
Speaker 1: adds so much to every role. Sure he'd be great,
Speaker 1: Chris Nap, says Philip semore Hoffman. Since this is hypothetical,
Speaker 1: I'm picking someone no longer with us. Such versatility brought
Speaker 1: so much to each role. Hey, yeah, and Nicole sorghum Strom.
Speaker 1: Seger Strom says Kristen Bell. Such a nice person would
Speaker 1: make any work experience wonderful plus crazy talented. I think
Speaker 1: that's what I would do, and all I haven't named one,
Speaker 1: but I think I would go with someone really talented,
Speaker 1: but also with the reputation of being like a good person,
Speaker 1: like good to work with. You don't want Here's a
Speaker 1: big pain in the ass, but really good. Christina Aguilera.
Speaker 1: She's known for being a very bad actor. Well, also,
Speaker 1: I had a big pain in the ass. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I was thinking more actors, but that's fine. You
Speaker 1: could throw a pop star in there. Dave link Was,
Speaker 1: says the Rock. I want this movie to make so
Speaker 1: much money. Okay, I guess there's something to be said
Speaker 1: for that, But I gotta tell you, Dave, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun working with a rock.
Speaker 1: He's it's it's he's notoriously difficult on a film shoot,
Speaker 1: and not like he's a big jerk. I just think
Speaker 1: it's when you're working with someone of that stature are
Speaker 1: hard to make a movie. You mean, like really tall.
Speaker 1: You know, he's just I've had friends that worked with him.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this. It's it's all about the Rocks.
Speaker 1: So it's tough too. It's tough on everyone else. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't name yourself the Rock unless you've got a
Speaker 1: bit of an outsized you go. I don't think, right,
Speaker 1: I think you're probably right. But no, he's Dwayne Johnson
Speaker 1: in the movies, right, No, I think he has the
Speaker 1: Rock in there, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, I swear to God. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe not Johnston is Johnston, Yes, Kathy Loe MCCRAIZI is
Speaker 1: Stanley Tucci for any role in any movie anytime? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love the touch. He's awesome. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are picking the Rock, all right, they're just trying to
Speaker 1: make that, make those grosses, you know. Yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: probably the biggest bank double star right now. Right, he's
Speaker 1: definitely a large man. It's true. That's kind of the deal.
Speaker 1: I think Charles Ogan says a young Russell Crowe to
Speaker 1: make a sequel to Master and Commander. Did you ever
Speaker 1: see that one? I've heard it's excellent. Um I have
Speaker 1: not seen it, damnit, Chuck, It's awesome. Isn't He also
Speaker 1: notorious for like being a little bit of a I
Speaker 1: think Russell Crowe can be hard to work with. Two yeah,
Speaker 1: or maybe he's just hard in his personal life, because
Speaker 1: I think most of the stories I've heard have been
Speaker 1: throwing hotel phones and stuff like that. Right, well, there
Speaker 1: was that South Park episode where it's just him like
Speaker 1: punching people around the world. Um. Have you seen the
Speaker 1: movie Virtuosity, Chuck? You know, dude, I never saw that.
Speaker 1: It's not good, but it's like one of Russell Crowe's
Speaker 1: earliest roles. I think he plays like a virtual or
Speaker 1: you know how awesome it is when movies in the
Speaker 1: early nineties try to depict like computer stuff. This one
Speaker 1: is no uh, no exception. It's just like it looks
Speaker 1: like the Sims kind of, you know, like the technology.
Speaker 1: But Russell Crowe plays like the perfect integration of every
Speaker 1: serial killer and bad human being that ever existed into one,
Speaker 1: you know, crafted killing machine that Denzel Washington has to
Speaker 1: find because then he gets out into the real world
Speaker 1: even though he's a computer program. Those movies never age well.
Speaker 1: If you want to make a movie that doesn't age well,
Speaker 1: just make it about any any technology like the lawnmower Man.
Speaker 1: Well that wasn't that didn't age well. Three weeks after
Speaker 1: it was released by a lot of people are saying
Speaker 1: the Rock I didn't know the Brock was that beloved.
Speaker 1: He must be if he's the biggest box office star.
Speaker 1: He I mean, I sure liked him in Milana. I'll
Speaker 1: tell that, tell you that. Sure he does that little
Speaker 1: rap breakdown in that song. Did your kid like ma Wana?
Speaker 1: What do you think? It's pretty great? What can I
Speaker 1: say besides you're welcome over and over and over. Ye.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the new Pixar Have you seen that yet? Um?
Speaker 1: What's it called? Luca? I think I'm sort of see creature.
Speaker 1: I really don't know any about it except there's some
Speaker 1: Italian cooking going on. Oh, I was knowing the poster
Speaker 1: that's like a kid with like gills. Okay, Brittany Geldon,
Speaker 1: is how I'm gonna pronounce it? Says uh searcher Ronan
Speaker 1: love historical movies, and I think she's played those roles
Speaker 1: very well. That's a great pick. She's wonderful, big fan
Speaker 1: of Searcher Ronan Terry choked when of Pearl Palaces James
Speaker 1: McAvoy he cycled through what ten different distinct characters within
Speaker 1: a twenty second time frame? And Glass I have total
Speaker 1: faith in him. I think we were divided on class,
Speaker 1: weren't we. Well, I mean he did that in Split
Speaker 1: Split right, which I thought was good, and then Glass
Speaker 1: was like he was in that again, but it was
Speaker 1: just clearly a less quality movie. Yeah, I didn't love
Speaker 1: either one of them. I did see the new trailer though,
Speaker 1: for the new Him Night Chamlain, I think, yeah, Old
Speaker 1: Old the movie you go to a beach and you
Speaker 1: get Old Terrified. I thought it was a pretty cool trailer,
Speaker 1: but the name is just kind of silly. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'll see it. Yeah, for sure, I saw.
Speaker 1: I think I've seen everything he's done except for that
Speaker 1: the really low budget thing about the Grandparents, which actually
Speaker 1: heard it was pretty good. That was good. It was
Speaker 1: like the Visitors or something like that. Yeah, it's called
Speaker 1: Old the Prequel. Yeah, it was just should have been
Speaker 1: called The Olds, Our oldest of pals. Kristen bits. A
Speaker 1: guy says, uh, just because I want to meet him,
Speaker 1: because I think he's charming and talented. Paul Rudd, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: an angeless, total vampire. I know. I wonder I think
Speaker 1: is he dying the hair a little bit? He has
Speaker 1: to be, I mean, and then he looks great with
Speaker 1: the face lines. But you know everyone gets a little
Speaker 1: great old. I don't think you can stop that train.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at gray in your hair and face right now.
Speaker 1: You're getting it's like all the parts of my beard
Speaker 1: that used to be red or now stark white. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: our old pal Stellan Carlson says Adie Bryant. Of course,
Speaker 1: she's already showing she's got matic trops, chops and shrill
Speaker 1: and range, plus comedic skills. It seems like a very
Speaker 1: decent person. She does seem that way. She was one
Speaker 1: of the ones that had an issue with Elon Musk
Speaker 1: being on SNL and kind of like I believe, sat
Speaker 1: out some of those sketches and solidarity. I think we
Speaker 1: talked about this. It looks like maybe she, Kate McKinnon
Speaker 1: and Keenan Thompson are gonna leave SNL after this season. Yeah.
Speaker 1: With that, those are kind of the power players. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean McKinnon. That's a big loss. They're all big losses.
Speaker 1: Keen I mean he's been he's the longest running cast
Speaker 1: member that time. I'm sure he's ready to do something else.
Speaker 1: That seems like a really stressful gig. It will get
Speaker 1: a little bit old, I would imagine after like eighteen
Speaker 1: years or whatever. Dude, did you hear about or see
Speaker 1: this Darryl Hammond documentary? No, what's up with him? Is he? Is? He? Uh?
Speaker 1: Darryll Hammond of SNL. He was the previous longest running
Speaker 1: cast member before Keenan broke his record. He was the president, right,
Speaker 1: didn't he play like Bush or something? He played? He
Speaker 1: played all the presidents, He did most of the big impressions.
Speaker 1: That was sort of his bag. But um, he had
Speaker 1: a very very and continues to have a very tough life.
Speaker 1: He was severely abused as a kid. Um some of
Speaker 1: the most awful things you could imagine his mother did
Speaker 1: to him when he was a child, and he I
Speaker 1: think repressed a lot of those memories and had addiction
Speaker 1: problems through his life and then they were uncovered in
Speaker 1: with deep therapy. All these repressed abuse of memories and
Speaker 1: he has been on the road to recovery for a
Speaker 1: while now. But like they had to take him out
Speaker 1: of a SNL rehearsal in a strait jacket. He was
Speaker 1: self cutting, like and you could see scars on TV
Speaker 1: like on SNL, really really rough life and tough stuff,
Speaker 1: crack diagnosis, everything romantic depressive to schizophrenia too, bipolar, like
Speaker 1: all over the map, my goodness, really really sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does sound like it sounds like a heavy watch,
Speaker 1: but probably a very important window into you know, some
Speaker 1: of these things that kind of go unseen a lot
Speaker 1: of the times, right for sure. Man, And he wrote
Speaker 1: a book and then I think was doing the documentary
Speaker 1: takes place when he is getting together a one man
Speaker 1: show version of the book. And I didn't know any
Speaker 1: of this stuff about the guy. It's just horrific what
Speaker 1: he went through. Awful, awful, awful. I'll try to hear
Speaker 1: the stories, nol Um. Let me see here. Jeremy Dale says,
Speaker 1: if I picked Tom Cruise, will he do most of
Speaker 1: the rest of my job for me? Yes, he will, Jeremy,
Speaker 1: you will not have much control after that. Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: runs that show our old friend making Carol and her
Speaker 1: cute little cat, says Fran McDorman. She would knock it
Speaker 1: out of the park and lift everyone else up. She's
Speaker 1: super versatile too. I think she doesn't really just like
Speaker 1: do the one thing like she she she can do
Speaker 1: whatever she wants. She can do whatever she wants. Yeah,
Speaker 1: totally agree. Oh, the movie crush debut of Tanya w
Speaker 1: Cats and all that is not k A t z.
Speaker 1: You know how she spells her name, Uh see a
Speaker 1: t z. Nope, clothes c A t s. Her last
Speaker 1: name is multiple cats. I love it. Do you think
Speaker 1: do you think she's a cat lady? Do you think
Speaker 1: it's like nominative determinism? Well, I can't believe I said that.
Speaker 1: I bet you she started hearing that question probably, but
Speaker 1: I had to ask. I had to ask Jack, do
Speaker 1: you like cats? Do you like cats? Tanya? There was
Speaker 1: a thread going on the Movie Crushers page about one
Speaker 1: of our listeners had their name read for the first
Speaker 1: time and it was a big thrill. Then other people
Speaker 1: started chiming in about either being read when they were
Speaker 1: read the first time or not being read yet, and
Speaker 1: Tanya Cats had not been read, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I must not have seen you before, because I would
Speaker 1: surely jump at that. Titania says, right now, I'm obsessed
Speaker 1: with Patty Harrison, and I think she's on the up
Speaker 1: and up. So her Patty Harrison? Who is that? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: she's in Trill. Oh yeah, she plays the I guess
Speaker 1: executive assistant office manager who's not a very nice person.
Speaker 1: She's very funny on that show and annoying a good job.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who else is funny on that show.
Speaker 1: As friend of the show, John Cameron Mitchell, who plays
Speaker 1: the really egotistical and obnoxious boss, but he's delightful. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know. We started the last season of Shrill and
Speaker 1: I think watched two episodes and then went on to
Speaker 1: other things. But we're gonna come back. It didn't hit
Speaker 1: the right note for me for some reason, even though
Speaker 1: I love it. John Whitefield's take it with t t Yeah,
Speaker 1: put him in it. He'd be good to have on
Speaker 1: set too, because he knows what he's doing, you know. Agreed.
Speaker 1: Paul Cooks is Bradley Cooper, huge respect for his acting chops.
Speaker 1: Same goes for Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Abbotts is Audrey Hepburn,
Speaker 1: Tina Hanson Taylor says Audrey Hepburn. Wow. Alex Andrea Runyon
Speaker 1: says Florence Pugh. Is that how he pronounced her name?
Speaker 1: She's great. She's the one who was in Midsomer right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and sort of everything else coming up. She's she's really
Speaker 1: exploding right now. He's hot. I'll tell you. Who I
Speaker 1: also think is an excellent, very versatile actor is Olivia Coleman,
Speaker 1: who is one of my stream This picks for today.
Speaker 1: But I loved her from way back when she was
Speaker 1: in the show Peep Show, which is a really great
Speaker 1: kind of dark British comedy. Um, and then she's been
Speaker 1: in all those amazing movies from the guy that did
Speaker 1: the Lobster and favorite Lanthomos is that the guy your ghost?
Speaker 1: Lanthormos is the name that I couldn't think of, and
Speaker 1: that's the one. And she's great in the Crown. She's
Speaker 1: great in everything that's right. She's in the Crown. To God,
Speaker 1: she's everywhere. Carlino danger Way, what a name? Says Selma Hyak. Sure,
Speaker 1: she's great. Old friend Jonathan P. Sispansky says Clooney, he
Speaker 1: can do anything. I'd like to have Cloney around he
Speaker 1: might be my pick. Actually, have you seen that the
Speaker 1: bit that he does with John Oliver, where like John
Speaker 1: Oliver can like summon him and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: he'll just like show up in a zoom window like
Speaker 1: on the massage table. And then he's like, John, and
Speaker 1: I gave you this power for good, not and you're
Speaker 1: using it very frivolously. He snaps his fingers and he's gone.
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny. Seems like a good dude, our old
Speaker 1: friend Robes. Rebecca says Alan Arkin. Great choice. Uh Rick
Speaker 1: Cole says Denzel, Denzel solid. Yeah, I wonder, I wonder.
Speaker 1: He seems like a good guy. Have you ever heard
Speaker 1: any stories. I've heard no stories. I've heard no stories.
Speaker 1: But I choose to believe that he is good. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let me see Brandon, my teach, says Catherine Han and
Speaker 1: love her and everything. Yeah, she's great, boy. It seems
Speaker 1: like she it seems like she came out of nowhere
Speaker 1: like ten years ago and it's been everywhere since. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure of that is not the case. I bet
Speaker 1: she had a long road to hoe, just like every
Speaker 1: actor who works hard. Absolutely, although that's not true. Some
Speaker 1: people are plucked off the goddamn Street. But then you've
Speaker 1: got like you're Olivia Coleman, so again you just got
Speaker 1: her start. And just like Shorty Meager British comedy that
Speaker 1: happened to have a second life kind of on streaming
Speaker 1: in the States, and yeah, I mean I found out
Speaker 1: about it like from like bootleg you know, uh rips
Speaker 1: and you know whatever, like rip burned DVDs that my
Speaker 1: friend would give me back in the day. But that
Speaker 1: show has gotten pretty popular in the States, and the
Speaker 1: actually did a remake of it that did not get
Speaker 1: picked up. But then I love seeing her dramatic work
Speaker 1: just absolutely balloon. But she's been at it for decades.
Speaker 1: Todd Bonnie after my own heart here saying Kate Blanchett, Sure,
Speaker 1: I could have satisfy my lifelong crush on Kate Blanchett
Speaker 1: in and direct her as well, although I would just
Speaker 1: stand back and say to your thing, I'd eat direct
Speaker 1: Kate Blanchett. You know you can, you can't. Mar Willis
Speaker 1: is Peter Dinklage. Yeah, I think we just got the
Speaker 1: goods the movie that he's in this on Netflix. It's
Speaker 1: called Uh I care a lot, No, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: um oh gosh, what's her name? She she was the girl,
Speaker 1: the gone girl. Who's the gone girl? Chuck oh Man,
Speaker 1: I can I remember Rosamond Pike? Yes, she's she's. She
Speaker 1: is in it playing a professional guardian for the elderly,
Speaker 1: and she's basically running this elaborate scam and ends up
Speaker 1: crossing paths with Peter Dinklage's character, who is a very
Speaker 1: scary person. Um. And it's just wonderful movie. I really
Speaker 1: like it's very dark and sardonic and like not for everybody,
Speaker 1: but I thought it was great. I think I saw
Speaker 1: the preview for that. Actually it looks good. I mean
Speaker 1: all data when of her old was palasays Regina King.
Speaker 1: Heck yah put Regina King and everything. That's what I say. Um.
Speaker 1: Nancy Weiner says sc Davis, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and
Speaker 1: the Babba Duke delightful, captivating and talented. Was Sie Davis
Speaker 1: the mom and Baba Duke? Or was that the kid?
Speaker 1: Or was it the Baba Duke? Okay, she's a mom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Did they credit an actor?
Speaker 1: One actor is playing the Baba duke. We're all actors
Speaker 1: exactly the Baba duke played by everyone. All right, and
Speaker 1: let's finish up here. Oh you got an Olivia Coleman
Speaker 1: support there with old friend kandam true X? Have you
Speaker 1: pronounced that? That's not right? T r U A X?
Speaker 1: Is that like traw tre trial? Not sure? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: has to be that's that's gonna be that soft. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's wrong. Uh. And you know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna finish up here with a couple
Speaker 1: of our I think they're both Aussies. I know Dan Maynard,
Speaker 1: he says Ashton Kutcher. No, he says, might be a
Speaker 1: hot take, but I love his comedy and I think
Speaker 1: he's a fantastic dramatic actor. When given the chance, I'll
Speaker 1: fight on this one. Dan Maynard going to the mat
Speaker 1: for the coach. What a guy? What a guy? Indeed?
Speaker 1: Peach Bank ursays Deborah Mailman or Mailman? Do you know
Speaker 1: who that is? No? But I love, I love, I
Speaker 1: love the question as to whether it's a male manner man. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I know, yeah, Peaches and Aussie, and so is
Speaker 1: Deborah Mailman. And it looks like a bunch of Aussie things.
Speaker 1: Offspring read burn now total control the Sapphires, and Peach
Speaker 1: says this, Honestly, I wish he was my auntie. She's
Speaker 1: indigenous Australian. She's been a wonderful part of Australian cinema
Speaker 1: for a long time. I love that, going with the
Speaker 1: homegrown special. Nothing wrong with that. Thank you for that, Peach.
Speaker 1: All right, well we're gonna finish up with stream in this.
Speaker 1: What have you been watching? Well, I have to take
Speaker 1: a flight, so I watched a couple of things on
Speaker 1: the flight. Let's hear it on. One of which is
Speaker 1: something that I've been meaning to and sort of avoiding
Speaker 1: because it seemed really depressing, and it was, but it
Speaker 1: was also wonderful. The Father, starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia
Speaker 1: Coleman and my great daddis. It's fucking fantastic. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I have a parent who is aging, UM, and I
Speaker 1: worry about these types of things, and it is essentially
Speaker 1: just the perfect kind of personification of what it's like
Speaker 1: to lose your memory and to have things that were
Speaker 1: once familiar be terrifying and alien. Um. Because the way
Speaker 1: what it does, it's so brilliant. This isn't a spoiler
Speaker 1: it's just sort of like the device that they use
Speaker 1: is they put you in the perspective of Anthony Hopkins character.
Speaker 1: So you're meeting characters not knowing who they are. They
Speaker 1: don't give you exposition to let you know this is
Speaker 1: this character, this is this character. And then they start
Speaker 1: flipping things around and you literally are experiencing it with
Speaker 1: the same confusion and dismay that that Anthony Hopkins character is,
Speaker 1: and it just kind of escalates and becomes this like
Speaker 1: waking nightmare, and it makes you realize how terrifying it
Speaker 1: would be and and is to get old. Did you
Speaker 1: cry on the plane Knell? I did a little bit.
Speaker 1: I did the single tear rolling down situation that I
Speaker 1: quickly wiped away. Um, you can control that. You can
Speaker 1: just send out one tier, squeeze one out. It's a
Speaker 1: very it's a concentrated tear chuck. It contains all of
Speaker 1: my emotions and one yes, so salty. It eventually tumbles like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, exactly, some finishing salt. It's a very gentle roll,
Speaker 1: you know, rolls right right on down the old What
Speaker 1: else you said? You saw a couple of things? Did
Speaker 1: you the way back? I watched uh it's a stupid
Speaker 1: movie I've seen before, but it's terrible. Bosses with what's
Speaker 1: his name? Jay? Need something light? Yeah, I need something light.
Speaker 1: And it was also a red eye flight, so I
Speaker 1: did that thing where I kind of marked time by
Speaker 1: what part of the movie I woke up during, like
Speaker 1: I started the movie and then kind of like realized, oh,
Speaker 1: I had slept because now it's the final scene of
Speaker 1: the movie or it's like somewhere near the last act.
Speaker 1: So I can't do those flights and all, dude, it
Speaker 1: was tough. I had not done it before. Uh, you
Speaker 1: can't sleep comfortably on a plane. I don't care what
Speaker 1: class you're in, you just can't do it. And by
Speaker 1: the time we got home it was five am Atlanta time,
Speaker 1: and it was with my kid, and we just like
Speaker 1: be lined into the house and slept for the rest
Speaker 1: of the day. It was I thought I was doing
Speaker 1: myself a favor by giving myself a day back, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't really a day. But no, no, it's always
Speaker 1: a bad idea. I will say, an old first class
Speaker 1: Virgin Air to Australia, you can sleep good, Okay, God,
Speaker 1: it's it's amazing. They really take care of you. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here, all right, what have I been
Speaker 1: watching it? Well, see, I've been I've been watching basketball
Speaker 1: because my Atlanta Hawks are kicking ass. They're advancing through
Speaker 1: the playoffs, much to everyone's uh surprise, I think in
Speaker 1: the greater NBA fandom. I've been to a game. I'm
Speaker 1: going to two Eastern Conference Finals games and heavily invested all.
Speaker 1: Been a Hawks fan since I was ten years old,
Speaker 1: so this is a big deal. So I've been watching
Speaker 1: a lot of basketball, so not as much TV. I
Speaker 1: have been watching Chopped a lot. Do you watch Chopped?
Speaker 1: I like Chopped. That's the one where you have to like,
Speaker 1: you get the basket right with all they get the
Speaker 1: basket stuff, you know. I love Top Chef and I
Speaker 1: used to watch Chopped all the time when I had
Speaker 1: cable because it was just on the cable guide. But
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about it when I switched and
Speaker 1: cut the cord and went to Hulu TV. But then
Speaker 1: I remembered, wait a minute, I fucking love Chopped, So
Speaker 1: I found it and I've been watching a lot of Chopped.
Speaker 1: Ruby calls it. She'll watch occasionally with me. She'll say, Daddy,
Speaker 1: I want to watch the show with the stressed out
Speaker 1: people cooking. She says that she does and stressed out
Speaker 1: people cooking. And the other a day she was it
Speaker 1: was this one woman competing and he's two men, and
Speaker 1: she was rooting for the woman to go home and
Speaker 1: get chopped. She said, I wanted to get chopped and
Speaker 1: I said, well, whine she said, because she's a woman.
Speaker 1: And said, why do you want her to get because
Speaker 1: she's a woman. She said, because I don't want her
Speaker 1: to be stressed anymore. Ah, I went all came around
Speaker 1: and all, it's really sweet compassion for this. She didn't
Speaker 1: want to see her on their running around stressed. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you know that it doesn't happen much now with a
Speaker 1: travel but occasionally when I'm out of town, Emily will
Speaker 1: let Ruby get in bed and watch shows adult shows,
Speaker 1: and then I will do the same, and um, she
Speaker 1: will watch Chopped with me and Island Hunters with Emily.
Speaker 1: And that's sort of a special treat. That's awesome and
Speaker 1: it's fun to hear a five and a half year
Speaker 1: old say I want to watch Island Hunters. I don't
Speaker 1: know what Island Hunters is. I'm trying to guess using context. Clues,
Speaker 1: but it's like an exploring type show. No, what is
Speaker 1: Island Hunters. It's HDTV people that can are rich enough
Speaker 1: to buy a fucking to buy an island, Okay, and
Speaker 1: these are I mean, well some of them are decent
Speaker 1: size that it's like aspirational television. It's like it, I
Speaker 1: like the HDTV stuff if you're into houses in real estate,
Speaker 1: and I am. We've been watching a little bit more Marble.
Speaker 1: I told you Emily's going through these movies kind of slowly.
Speaker 1: We're on Winter Soldier now, kind of going in order. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that's with like skipping the first horror movie. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to curate movies that I think she would enjoy.
Speaker 1: In that first horror movie, wasn't that great? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: first one, they were really trying to find what that
Speaker 1: character was. It was enough to get people kind of
Speaker 1: on board. But you're right, they did. It just got
Speaker 1: better and better and better, got better and better. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then nol I took your wreck and we finished
Speaker 1: Hacks in a week and it's great. It's lovely and
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Jean Smart is so fucking good to see
Speaker 1: her win awards this third act in her career is
Speaker 1: just really cool and inspiring to watch the who's the
Speaker 1: young actor? What's her name? Oh, I've never heard of
Speaker 1: her before. I don't know what she's from. But she's
Speaker 1: Hannah iron Binder or Ironbinder. Yeah, I think she was
Speaker 1: relatively unknown. I believe she was a comedian that they
Speaker 1: sort of plucked out of the l a comedy scene
Speaker 1: and Uh, it's great. I love Uh who was it
Speaker 1: that plays Marcus Chad Clemence Hopkins is good? Paul Downs
Speaker 1: is the agent is good. I love Kiki, her friend
Speaker 1: played by Poppy Luke. She's so funny. Um. The only
Speaker 1: thing I don't like nol. There are two characters that
Speaker 1: I don't like, and it makes it actually hard to
Speaker 1: watch those scenes. The assistant to the agent. Oh, I
Speaker 1: just can't do it. No, she's it's such a trope
Speaker 1: of the annoying that's not good at her job, and
Speaker 1: it's just she's so annoying. Well, she's the one who's
Speaker 1: like I believe she she's her father is like owns
Speaker 1: the company or something, right, But she takes it to
Speaker 1: such an absurd level that it's not even believable in
Speaker 1: a show that is grounded in reality, and she's so
Speaker 1: over the top bad at her job. It's like, come on, like,
Speaker 1: no one, it's too much. It doesn't fit the tone
Speaker 1: of the show. So I have a hard time watching
Speaker 1: those scenes. And then I hate to say it, my
Speaker 1: one of my old favorite actors, Jane Adams, is on
Speaker 1: the show as ABA's mom, and I just don't like
Speaker 1: what she did with the character. She's too neurotic and
Speaker 1: over the top. It just doesn't fit. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I love Jane Adams, but I'm not. I don't like
Speaker 1: those scenes and she's not in a tone of them.
Speaker 1: So it's not a big big deal, right, Well yeah, no,
Speaker 1: never mind, no spoilers everywhere. I think everyone would like
Speaker 1: the show though. It's like it it fills a nice
Speaker 1: middle ground between reality and not being too heavy and
Speaker 1: also having some heart. And there's some like, you know,
Speaker 1: some some serious thing has happened on the show, but
Speaker 1: it's very very funny. Like the writing is super super
Speaker 1: top notch because it's about a comedian and a comic writer,
Speaker 1: and I think you kind of got to nail that stuff.
Speaker 1: You can tell. I think it's fairly believable, Like whoever
Speaker 1: writes the stuff you can tell probably has a It
Speaker 1: probably comes from the stand up world, would be my guess.
Speaker 1: It looks like Jean Smart is favored to win the
Speaker 1: Emmy for Comedy Actress. She's great. I love it. Oh.
Speaker 1: One thing that was funny, Chuck about this l a
Speaker 1: trip And you've mentioned this before from living there, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever been there during this time maybe,
Speaker 1: But the for your Consideration, uh campaigns all of oh,
Speaker 1: they're everywhere, and all of a sudden you're seeing billboards
Speaker 1: for shows that came out like a year ago. I'm
Speaker 1: like why, And then you see all of them say
Speaker 1: for your Emmy Consideration at the top, and there's just
Speaker 1: a lot of money on that ship. It's really interesting.
Speaker 1: But isn't it funny that that's what it takes? Because
Speaker 1: you think about it, I guess these are all just
Speaker 1: human beings that vote, that are on the you know
Speaker 1: whatever voting board, I guess, and they have to be
Speaker 1: reminded of like what shows to think about. Right, It's
Speaker 1: like the most base advertising, which is it's like showing
Speaker 1: the cheeseburger on the board and counting on someone to go, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I haven't had a big mac in a while. It's
Speaker 1: it's counting on someone driving down Sunset, some producer and
Speaker 1: voter to say, oh yeah, well you know, uh, Jean
Speaker 1: Smart was good in that. I like that one. Like
Speaker 1: especially shows again that like I think shows that come
Speaker 1: out a little closer to amy season probably have a
Speaker 1: better chance a lot of times because people forget yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta nudgem a bit, especially like you said with
Speaker 1: the pandemic, like some of this stuff is old. All right, No, well,
Speaker 1: that's it for this app and we will close with
Speaker 1: a prayer. Okay, I'm ready, My head is bowed. God
Speaker 1: bless us everyone, and good day. Movie. Crash is produced
