Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Mini Crush the Monday edition where
Speaker 1: I sit here with my good friend Noel and we
Speaker 1: fared around and talk about movies. That is exactly how
Speaker 1: I describe it to my friends. We interact with you
Speaker 1: people via Facebook. I wish it was another way. There's
Speaker 1: gotta be another way. Maybe we'll figure that out. Because
Speaker 1: face maybe Instagram Facebook sucks LinkedIn Facebook, Instagram. No, so
Speaker 1: this is a political thing for you, John, Okay, I said,
Speaker 1: I want to be on there. Twitter. Do you not tweet?
Speaker 1: You don't tweet? Due, I'm not on Twitter, not a tweeter.
Speaker 1: I'm not either. In fact, I miss a lot because
Speaker 1: I don't tweet. Some of the other shows that I wanted.
Speaker 1: We have pretty active twitters, and I'll always hear stuff
Speaker 1: from Ben or Matt about like, hey, do you see
Speaker 1: a thing on Twitter? I'm like, nope, but are you
Speaker 1: missing out? Not really exactly. I usually see it screenshotted
Speaker 1: somewhere else later. Maybe I'm just like a day late. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder sometimes if all the smartphones went away overnight,
Speaker 1: got raptured, got raptured, like I feel like in a week,
Speaker 1: I would be like, all right, yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is the most of my life. There are some people
Speaker 1: that would have lose their minds. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people would literally go crazy. And when I say
Speaker 1: literally go crazy, I mean figuratively go crazy. I was
Speaker 1: without a phone for about three days recently, and it
Speaker 1: was simultaneously liberating and a little like, uh made me
Speaker 1: a little uneasy, but I leaned more in the liberating
Speaker 1: side of it, and it was actually pretty great. Well,
Speaker 1: the funny thing is you hear uh safety like, oh,
Speaker 1: but you have your phone, like, you know, in case
Speaker 1: anything ever happened, like, which is true. But I lived
Speaker 1: thirty seven years without a smartphone. It's true. We were
Speaker 1: all fine. Yeah, you're okay. You were okay? No, I
Speaker 1: was okay. O. God, I'm still okay most of the time.
Speaker 1: How are you good? Okay? Yeah, I'm being fake fake
Speaker 1: outrage okay. I was like when I get fake mad
Speaker 1: at you know, is it all an illusion? Chuck? Is
Speaker 1: it all lies? A bit? Where's the truth? I'm even
Speaker 1: holding up my sign that says it's a bit, and
Speaker 1: you're just looking right past. I'm not. I'm just didn't
Speaker 1: know what they couldn't. I was squinting alright. Uh, let
Speaker 1: me see here. You've seen any good movies lately? By
Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, what are I see? Um? I watched
Speaker 1: big Fish for the first time in years the other day.
Speaker 1: Was that a punishment? You didn't like it? You don't
Speaker 1: like big Fish? It's a little smalt, and I didn't.
Speaker 1: It's not it's a little smalty. I thought my kid
Speaker 1: would like it, but actually kind of she she got
Speaker 1: bored by it. And I realized that my memories of
Speaker 1: it were a little better than in the movie itself.
Speaker 1: It's a little slow. I think that's one of those movies.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hasn't aged well. It's a little hard on sleeve,
Speaker 1: kind of cheesy. It's not the best because I thought
Speaker 1: of it as the last good Tim Burton movie, and
Speaker 1: I realized you can sort of see his decline even
Speaker 1: in that movie. I'm looking up Tim Burton right now. No,
Speaker 1: because I know I've have given that guy shit for
Speaker 1: it is deserved not being that great anymore. But I'm
Speaker 1: looking up because I would I would like to honestly
Speaker 1: see what I would vote as the last good were
Speaker 1: saying good or great? Great? What's what's the qualification? That's
Speaker 1: the thing? Though? Was he ever really great. Yes you
Speaker 1: think so? What was great? What was the great Tim
Speaker 1: Burton movie Batman, pee Wee's pee Wee's Big Adventure? I
Speaker 1: think um Beetlejuice for sure? Hands Yes, yes, yes, I forgot.
Speaker 1: I would I love I forgot about Okay, See, he's
Speaker 1: already sullied his IMDb so much that I've literally forgotten
Speaker 1: about those those great movies because all I think about, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the Bad Planet of the Apes and all
Speaker 1: of the c g I. That movie didn't even make
Speaker 1: a dint, you know, it didn't even make a pain
Speaker 1: on what radar, Like you know, all those horrible looking
Speaker 1: Alice in Wonderland movies that he's just leaning so hard
Speaker 1: on the c g I stuff now that it's like,
Speaker 1: that's what we loved about Tim Burton was that it
Speaker 1: was all practical effects and playmation and like, you know,
Speaker 1: we real weird set design and stuff. You know, you
Speaker 1: know what. No, I'm looking at his list, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say something pretty controversial right now. For me, it's just
Speaker 1: my dumb opinion. The last truly great movie he made
Speaker 1: that I loved was Edwood Edwards fantastic. But that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Words attacks Sleepy hollow Man, Yeah, Sleepy holloway a man,
Speaker 1: Big Fish Man, Charlie and Chocolate Factory Man. I did
Speaker 1: not see Corpse Bride Fair. It's cool. That might have
Speaker 1: been good, you know, it's it's a lot like Nightmare
Speaker 1: before Christmas, but it's it's not as good. Doesn't have
Speaker 1: the spark, you know, it doesn't have the same the magic.
Speaker 1: Sweeney Todd Alison Wonderland, Dark Shadows, Big Eyes. I thought
Speaker 1: Big Guys was cool. You didn't see Big Guys. I
Speaker 1: saw it, and like you didn't like it. You said
Speaker 1: you didn't like Christoph Waltz. He thought he was just
Speaker 1: smarmy and awful. Well, I said that before he played
Speaker 1: some man from the Bratska sounds like so weird. Uh,
Speaker 1: Dumbo's coming out Beetle Juice too. I mean, of course,
Speaker 1: i'll he has a chance for redemption. Would be such
Speaker 1: a big swing for that to be. There's no way
Speaker 1: it could be as good. There's no way it can
Speaker 1: be as good. But he also has to kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, honor the original material. He can't do an
Speaker 1: Alice in wonderland ized version of Beetlejuice. People will revolt
Speaker 1: in the streets yeah, you know, yeah, I'll be leading
Speaker 1: that charge. I have my I have my axe and
Speaker 1: my my torch, my baseball bat, and we will go
Speaker 1: and we will kill Jim Burton dead. Yeah, seriously, I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding everyone. By the way, we would never I
Speaker 1: could probably get arrested for just saying that. That's probably true, Chuck.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna move on to social studies. Social
Speaker 1: and I believe I went with another Oscar related question,
Speaker 1: and that was who or what was robbed the most
Speaker 1: this year with an Oscar snub? Make your case in
Speaker 1: one sentence, of course, a bunch of smart alex on here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're listing truly bad movies. But that's okay. There's another
Speaker 1: awards ceremony for those Razzies. We should just thinking about
Speaker 1: the Razzies sometimes. We should let's do a little Razzies thing.
Speaker 1: Should be fund do a Razzies round up. Totally agree,
Speaker 1: Razzi's round up. Gods all right. Julia Lurch says she
Speaker 1: feels like Tony Collette for Hereditary her performance after finding well,
Speaker 1: that's a spoiler, so I won't even read that. And
Speaker 1: then but she says, never mind the dinner table scene.
Speaker 1: It's bonkers. But the thing is, movies like that always
Speaker 1: gets snubbed, I know. And she was so tight in
Speaker 1: that movie, and she was good. I think we talked
Speaker 1: about this. I'm sure we did. The director, who this
Speaker 1: is like his first big movie, decided to turn what
Speaker 1: he had written as a much more of a family
Speaker 1: drama into a horror because he knew would be easier
Speaker 1: to like sell like for a first movie. But yet
Speaker 1: the performances. That's what makes it such an interesting hybrid, right,
Speaker 1: because the performances are legitimately like tense family drama kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. You know. Absolutely, Don Barnhart says Elsie Fisher,
Speaker 1: she should have been nominated for Best Actress for eighth grade.
Speaker 1: She made me relive the awkwardness of junior high, broke
Speaker 1: my heart into pieces. Yeah, I agree, she was great.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that one. I want to because I've
Speaker 1: got a kid that's not that old, but she's very
Speaker 1: much into that whole YouTube culture. She's not, she's not
Speaker 1: far off a few years. Um. Yeah, you should totally
Speaker 1: see it. You would love it. Christine Fordham says, won't
Speaker 1: you be my neighbor? Um? For Best Documentary? I mean,
Speaker 1: truly one of the great Oscar snubs. Yeah, i'd have
Speaker 1: been in a weird one. And I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: um NPR produced that. Oh yeah, it's like an NPR
Speaker 1: film or something like that, or I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: how they branded it, but they've been They were talking
Speaker 1: about it on NPR and and some of the hosts
Speaker 1: were saying they thought it was a snub, largely for
Speaker 1: selfish reasons because they wanted to be able to go
Speaker 1: to the old scars. Really. Yeah, Well, I'm bummed because
Speaker 1: you know, Scottie uh did some of the camera working,
Speaker 1: some of the interviews on that, and not only did
Speaker 1: I think it was gonna get nominated, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: Scotty will have worked on the Best Documentary winner because
Speaker 1: I was just convinced that was gonna win. It's so good.
Speaker 1: What did good not me? I don't think. I mean, Jesus,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Look it up, I've got got got it.
Speaker 1: There's just a big list your best documentary. Uh, I
Speaker 1: haven't heard of any of these. What are they minding?
Speaker 1: The Gap, which I've heard is great, but I don't
Speaker 1: know what it's about. Seen by Binglu of Fathers and Sons,
Speaker 1: Oh our RBG was good, but honestly didn't see it yet.
Speaker 1: I think I thought that Mr Rodgers was way better
Speaker 1: than RBG. Yeah, that's weird. I think maybe RBG has
Speaker 1: more current weight. I guess in terms of, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just the whole none of it makes sense because
Speaker 1: of course it's great, but like Mr Rogers and all
Speaker 1: the nostalgia and the message in today's climate, like it
Speaker 1: was all there. It's just so you're right, especially as
Speaker 1: it got into the way he handled really difficult subjects
Speaker 1: for kids and testifying in front of Congress, and oh
Speaker 1: and that while you're right, you know, there's absolutely that's
Speaker 1: a very strange snub. Good call. Yeah, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't get it. Debbie. Debbie friend Gadacas, friend Jadacas. She
Speaker 1: also said, won't you be my neighbor? Kelly conquince is
Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper for Director and first Man for Best Picture.
Speaker 1: Fred Nerk the nurkstre says sorry to bother you. I
Speaker 1: thought it was a fantastic movie and deserved a nomination
Speaker 1: for what probably best Picture. Now I don't think it's
Speaker 1: best picture of material. But see that's where we were
Speaker 1: talking about best first time filmmaker or breakout star for
Speaker 1: the girl in eighth grade. And yeah, like that's where
Speaker 1: those might might be some good categories. I think it
Speaker 1: could have like maybe even something for like best it
Speaker 1: had just this should be like a category for weirdo movies,
Speaker 1: like what would you call it that, like most innovative
Speaker 1: or like Noel's favorite exactly. Yeah, I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Uh, Scott Sodergren, I totally agree,
Speaker 1: Mr soda Gren. You say Ethan Hawk his performance was
Speaker 1: amazing and he really did deserve a nomination for that role. Um,
Speaker 1: totally agree. Man so good in that movie. Uh. Danielle
Speaker 1: Ferlito says, First Man best movie I've seen in like
Speaker 1: fifteen years. I still haven't seen that. This is the
Speaker 1: was it? Buzz? Aldrin? No, it's Neil Armstrong? Right? Is
Speaker 1: he Neil Armstrong? First Man? Noel? Sorry, dude, Armstrong was
Speaker 1: the first The buzz was right. Sorry, you need to
Speaker 1: get up on your NASA. I really do, I really do.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to space Camp. Okay, every all of
Speaker 1: my other colleagues went to space camp except me. So true.
Speaker 1: Nick Kelly says, my boy Gosling. First Man is quiet
Speaker 1: intensity at its best. I love, I love he's really
Speaker 1: quiet intensity to josh of this thing, Yeah, it is,
Speaker 1: come to think of it, Blade Runner, quiet intense, light
Speaker 1: intense drive, quite intensive, quiet intensity. Yeah he should be.
Speaker 1: He's a singer too. You should start a band called
Speaker 1: Quiet Intensity Intense Cities. Joshua Hall says Lucky Stanfield. For
Speaker 1: Best Actor, the guy elevates Sorry to Bother You to
Speaker 1: another level. It's true. He's a great He's got this
Speaker 1: like energy that's so like it's comedy, but it's also
Speaker 1: like very heartfelt and like you know you're there with him.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's great. Yeah, Mary O'Donnell
Speaker 1: says Paddington too. Wes Anderson wishes he could make a
Speaker 1: film with such whimsy and heart. Is it really, Oh dude,
Speaker 1: having to do it's crazy. I'm seeing Panison one. We'll
Speaker 1: be able to follow it. Yes, it doesn't matter. They're
Speaker 1: they're very self contained. No, it's it's it's got a
Speaker 1: lot of these great British comics in it, like um
Speaker 1: the dudes from like the Mighty Bush and like I
Speaker 1: T Crowd and all. Really so, I think the guy
Speaker 1: that directed it directed the show The League of Gentlemen,
Speaker 1: which is a really really great weird would would ruby
Speaker 1: like it? Is it? Oh? God, yes, for for three
Speaker 1: and a half year old. It's because that's the beauty
Speaker 1: of it is. It's got something for everybody. It's got
Speaker 1: like adventure, it's got this whimsy like they're saying, it's
Speaker 1: got a great story, and it's got really real heart
Speaker 1: and like it's it's really a beautiful movie. All right,
Speaker 1: it's on the list. Let me see here. Amanda Blaney
Speaker 1: uh Laurier says Tony Collette for Hereditary, another nod for her.
Speaker 1: UM T. J. Danny says if Beale Street could talk
Speaker 1: for Best Picture. I've heard that criticism. UM Sierra Sherry
Speaker 1: says Emily Blunt for a Quiet Place. She gave me
Speaker 1: all the fields? All right, fair enough? UM D. C.
Speaker 1: Hoover says Bradley Cooper for Best to Rector. All right,
Speaker 1: I've heard mixed reviews on that one. On Star is Born,
Speaker 1: and it looks like a big giant movie. Though Hollywood
Speaker 1: loves a big self referential you know, it's also like
Speaker 1: a remake of a classic, so Hollywood remake of the classic,
Speaker 1: which was a remake of Hollywood loves that is a
Speaker 1: third or fourth one, didn't it? I think it's the
Speaker 1: third A. J. Middleset says, eighth grade and hereditary in
Speaker 1: a Quiet Place Peter Farrelli Ian lyons Is Peter Frelli
Speaker 1: for his near perfect direction of The Beautiful Green Book.
Speaker 1: Another vote for Sorry to Bother You from Mike Doyle
Speaker 1: for screenplay. Yeah. That sometimes it's a good way to
Speaker 1: acknowledge a movie like that. Yeah, with the writing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: sort of like I didn't. Didn't Adaptation win Best Screenplay?
Speaker 1: I believe it did because that's a good one. That's
Speaker 1: like a really kind of taking the form of screenplay
Speaker 1: like to another place. That's definitely what any kind of
Speaker 1: like meta nests in writing is always a good thing.
Speaker 1: Bruce Conwell. Another vote for Tony Collette. I'm glad she's
Speaker 1: getting props at least from the people for for that
Speaker 1: great performance. Even though it's a disturbing horror film, it
Speaker 1: still counts as a movie everyone does, you know, it's
Speaker 1: so weird. Genre pictures just maybe best Genre Picture would
Speaker 1: be a good category. Yeah, So it's like, what would
Speaker 1: that be? What counts the genre? Horror? Sci fi? I
Speaker 1: guess so I would take forever though, they'd have to
Speaker 1: have one for every every genre. Well, no, you could
Speaker 1: just slump them all together. Oh gotcha. Guy's a good point.
Speaker 1: I see, I see. All right, we're gonna move on everyone.
Speaker 1: Those are some good comments and that boy, I'm excited
Speaker 1: about this next bit. Hi Kou theater. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I know that we've never done this stuff. He should
Speaker 1: know had a high koupas about early on, about eight
Speaker 1: or nine years ago, and we've got so many high
Speaker 1: cous we cut sick of them and hated hikus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now you're ready to dive back in back. And
Speaker 1: people really got into this. And I was literally reading
Speaker 1: them out loud to Emily Live as they were coming
Speaker 1: in last night and laughing my ass off, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta stop doing this because all I'll
Speaker 1: do is sit around and read hi kus all night
Speaker 1: and it'll ruin tomorrow. So I'm gonna leave these up
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep reading these every other week or
Speaker 1: so because these are so much fun. The deal is
Speaker 1: the movie title is the title of the hiku, and
Speaker 1: then you know the form? Do you know the form? Five? Seven? Five?
Speaker 1: Look at you? Seventeen syllables. Vanessa Lopez, let's start it
Speaker 1: out with Sharkonnado, Sharconnado, raining from the sky. As Chuck
Speaker 1: Stradamus foretold, the Sharkonnado looms. You know I predicted that movie?
Speaker 1: Did you know that? I that was Did you ever
Speaker 1: hear that? I said something about a movie with sharks
Speaker 1: and tornadoes? And like a year and a half two
Speaker 1: years later, that movie came out mass. I mean, the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is, it doesn't make you wonder.
Speaker 1: I don't think I created that seat of that idea,
Speaker 1: but you really never know. And there's no absolutely, that
Speaker 1: is absolutely on the table that that could have been
Speaker 1: the case. Some dumb could have heard that. Okay, I
Speaker 1: can totally make that happen, and then they just bit
Speaker 1: their side. The sixth sense. This is from Megan Johnson,
Speaker 1: uh frucci and she got forty five up likes, so
Speaker 1: this better be good. And by the way, this as
Speaker 1: a spoiler if you have not seen six cents two

Speaker 1: mind at creepy motel. Too late. Now she's dead. Not bad?
Speaker 1: Uh cubes down. Cubie, our old pal in Connecticut, says
Speaker 1: Titanic bad contrived romance. Mammoth Iceberg sinks the ship rose
Speaker 1: selfish and cold. She went selfish and cold. Alright. I
Speaker 1: wish people people give her ship because she didn't make
Speaker 1: a space for him on the floating door. There was
Speaker 1: another fun Titanic when in here, Oh here, it is
Speaker 1: right here. Melinda Buccalleo says Titanic Rose is rich but sad.
Speaker 1: Jack is poor but loving life. There's room for two rows.
Speaker 1: So she addresses that right there, and that was sort
Speaker 1: of the voice of the audience screaming and ros I think.
Speaker 1: And Melinda followed that up with, oh MG, this is
Speaker 1: so much fun. I totally agree. I'm just gonna read
Speaker 1: all these over the next few weeks. Eric Keith for

Speaker 1: from the fire hose? Was it? Maybe one of those
Speaker 1: I don't know. Wasn't that Kramer from from Yees Steinfeld
Speaker 1: was in? I think he was. He was sort of
Speaker 1: a screwball game show host or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I would think that Spin the Wheel of
Speaker 1: Fish might have been something that he did. M Karen Knox,
Speaker 1: Karen's on here a lot. Thanks for your participation, Karen.
Speaker 1: For the movie Seven Godless People Die, Brad Pitt, the

Speaker 1: love that. That was a Haiku review. It could be
Speaker 1: an old whole segment all by itself. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it rhymes is a perfect name for a segment. Hiku
Speaker 1: review review Robert Eldridge says, first, stand by me, a
Speaker 1: bar far rama, biggest one in four counties. We found
Speaker 1: a body. I love this. This is so much fun, man,
Speaker 1: this would be fun too. We should have we should

Speaker 1: not sign up for this. That that's not bailing if
Speaker 1: I did not agree to this the beginning. You know,
Speaker 1: my first line is is why Harry Potter, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: for that coughing fit? Everyone? All right, I guess we'll
Speaker 1: just end there. No, no, no, I'm gonna keep I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I want to I want to continue this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope you're intrigued. Well I am. But do you
Speaker 1: want to do this now? Or do you want to
Speaker 1: come back next week? Chuck? That sounded like thank you?
Speaker 1: Do you want to? Do you really want to do
Speaker 1: this now? Chuck? Do you really want to do this?
Speaker 1: All right? No, I'm literally gonna read the next three
Speaker 1: and if you don't have a haiku, then you're fired. Uh.
Speaker 1: Yavanne and Bodette says for goodwill hunting genius janitor has
Speaker 1: no direction in life. Will, It's not your fault? Good one?
Speaker 1: Rich del Grande, great name? Uh for demon night. Oh,
Speaker 1: let even know what that is. Immortality ain't all it's
Speaker 1: cracked up to be. Zane is persistent. And then we're
Speaker 1: gonna finish with another one from Melinda Baccalo. She has
Speaker 1: gone with the wind Scarlet loves Ashley, but Ashley loves Melanie.
Speaker 1: Rhet gets the last laugh. No do we have our hikup.
Speaker 1: Oh well, here we go everyone. Why Harry Potter, you
Speaker 1: magic wizard person? Why do you haunt me? I can't
Speaker 1: believe that took ten minutes? He look, it didn't take
Speaker 1: ten minutes. It took ten seconds. I just had to
Speaker 1: decide what direction I was gonna go. I saw you.
Speaker 1: They're counting on your fingers. Yeah, that's what I do.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that was fun. That was fun. Thanks for
Speaker 1: making me do that, Thanks for pulling that out of me.
Speaker 1: All right, everyone, we're gonna finish up with another comment
Speaker 1: card Oscar edition, where you ask your Oscar related questions.
Speaker 1: Two uh, Nolan myself. We're gonna keep that Hyko theater going.
Speaker 1: I like the mystery idea. That's a good idea. We get.
Speaker 1: We have to guess the movie. That's so perfect because
Speaker 1: most of them don't have the movie name and they're
Speaker 1: just like describing a scene or some character thing, and
Speaker 1: a lot of them are like a little little, tricky,
Speaker 1: little shrouded I like that because then people would try
Speaker 1: and stump us. Then it became becomes a game of
Speaker 1: stump stump. The hosts, all right, we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: Zack Pointer. He asked this Oscar question. Is there money
Speaker 1: that comes with the award? No, Zach, they do not
Speaker 1: pay them for winning an Oscar. There's no purse. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the words have a little thing attached, but like a grant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but these people don't need grants. They don't need grants.
Speaker 1: The money comes from the Oscar buzz. That's where you
Speaker 1: definitely win money when you when you win an Oscar,
Speaker 1: you definitely win money. I just don't give it to
Speaker 1: you directly, right, it is. It is indirect monies in
Speaker 1: your pocket. Charles Ogan says, most notorious Oscar telecast moment
Speaker 1: for me when snow White sang a proud Mary with
Speaker 1: Rob Low. That was a pretty legendary. H wait, what
Speaker 1: weird bit? Yeah, you don't remember that. No, was this?
Speaker 1: When was this like in the eighties or something? No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't even that long ago. Um, I'm not really sure.
Speaker 1: Let me look here, snow White, snow White, like the
Speaker 1: animated character. Oh that's snow White, not the other snow
Speaker 1: white porn star. Oh god, no, why do you have
Speaker 1: to say kidding? I don't know if there's a porn
Speaker 1: star name snow White. Um? When was this two? Maybe
Speaker 1: it was just embarrassing. It just was a bad It
Speaker 1: was a bad idea. Yeah, I mean, look at this photo,
Speaker 1: nol it's rab blow thinking was snow White character? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, lady dresses snow white. I was picturing and
Speaker 1: being like, who framed Roger Rabbit style with like the
Speaker 1: real animated snow White? Oh? Wait, nine? Is that what
Speaker 1: it was? Sure seems like a eighties ish kind of idea. Geez,
Speaker 1: why did I think that was more recently? It's because
Speaker 1: you're old, Chuck. Yeah. I graduated high school in Yeah,
Speaker 1: class of eighty nine. Baby, that's awesome. What what's your
Speaker 1: class two thousand two? Sounds like future child? How do
Speaker 1: you think I feel when I meet people that were
Speaker 1: born in the nineties. Um, it's funny because if you
Speaker 1: look up Rob Lowe snow White. One of the lead
Speaker 1: articles from Hollywood Reporter is Oscar's Colin rob blows snow
Speaker 1: White the untold story of Oscar's Nightmare opening. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to read that later. Was he the host that
Speaker 1: year or was snow White hosting snow White? I don't know. Man,
Speaker 1: she's famous, that would be great. Whoa, let's see who
Speaker 1: it's best actor. La la la la la la la la.
Speaker 1: Such a good whistler. She is a good whistler. I'm
Speaker 1: a decent whistler too. I can't do it right now, though,
Speaker 1: That's fine, that's sorry. It would be all just blow
Speaker 1: into the mic and be like, yeah, it wouldn't sound
Speaker 1: I've been eating a salteine, so oh yeah. It was
Speaker 1: just be big mess. Well, obviously the Warren Beatty debacle.
Speaker 1: That's the big That's the only really big one. I
Speaker 1: could well that and then, um, you know the whole
Speaker 1: story about Jack Palance errantly giving the award to Marissa
Speaker 1: Toma for my cousin Vinnie. I don't remember that. That's
Speaker 1: sort of the legend, has it is that she really
Speaker 1: did not win that award. He said the wrong name
Speaker 1: and they just rolled with it. I think it has
Speaker 1: been proven that that is not the case, But I'm
Speaker 1: going to dig into that. Maybe I'll recount that story
Speaker 1: in a future It was a good one for Hollywood history.
Speaker 1: It would absolutely no thank you. It makes me think
Speaker 1: I've actually done it. That would be sad if I
Speaker 1: forgot that. I'm old, everyone my memories fading. Let me
Speaker 1: see here, Kevin Hurbond says, is there a chance the
Speaker 1: host won't make this joke? So this year we saw
Speaker 1: a villain with a funky skin tone try to kill
Speaker 1: the world with his children, and we saw a fan
Speaker 1: os That's pretty good, Kevin. You should, uh, they should
Speaker 1: have a hotline where he could submit Oscar jokes because
Speaker 1: that's a perfect Oscar joke. That sounds like Bruce Valanche
Speaker 1: wrote it with his own, uh, with his own stubby fingers.
Speaker 1: It was Bruce Vlanche. He's one of the guys that
Speaker 1: writes for the Oscars every year. Oh he does. He
Speaker 1: writes the punchy little bits. Yeah, he's a he's sort
Speaker 1: of a legendary writer in Hollywood and for writing stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And he was on Hollywood Squares and he
Speaker 1: probably recognized him if he looked him up. He's great,
Speaker 1: he's he's a cheer delight. So I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: knocking him. I love that guy. Dallas English says, how
Speaker 1: do you think the Oscars will change change in the
Speaker 1: next fifty years? Doesn't seem like they're on a sustained path.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, does he think they're going
Speaker 1: to go away? It's not sustainable to him? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: Oscars is. It's a living and breathing thing. It's changed
Speaker 1: a lot of years. It's sustainable. I mean, there's so
Speaker 1: much money in Hollywood and it's literally it's Hollywood's just
Speaker 1: to pat themselves on the back. They're doing such a
Speaker 1: good job. Not do that. They would never miss that
Speaker 1: opportunity to Well, it's about to say something dirty, but
Speaker 1: I stopped myself pat themselves on the back. There you go,
Speaker 1: pat themselves over and over on the back on the back. Um,
Speaker 1: let me see here. Michael Griffith says, what are the
Speaker 1: real world effects of being nominated or winning? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: you hear about the Oscar bump in your career. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to increase your profile and get better roles, but
Speaker 1: it is no very famously not done that. Sometimes it
Speaker 1: can be fickle because then you get typecast, you get
Speaker 1: associated with that role or something maybe like I remember
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Shoe for leaving Las Vegas. They thought that was like,
Speaker 1: oh well from here on out, but it didn't quite
Speaker 1: go that way. And I think Mercy Tooma as well.
Speaker 1: It almost seems like you have to already be established
Speaker 1: and then it gives you the bump maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: or you have to at least be already bankable kind
Speaker 1: of and it maybe raises your profile. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's an interesting phenomenon to to dissect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it usually to like look at the numbers and look
Speaker 1: at like how it's affected people over over the years
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, Like what you would do is you
Speaker 1: would go back and look, um, like let's say the
Speaker 1: next three movies after your Best Actor Actress award, Like
Speaker 1: what were those? But sometimes, um, I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: their fault, but sometimes people have made very poor decisions
Speaker 1: for their next movie after their hospital that they thought
Speaker 1: like was going to be the right thing. It turned
Speaker 1: out not to be. Absolutely it just goes to show
Speaker 1: I mean like there's a lot of savvy that has
Speaker 1: to go into like picking roles, and you know, you
Speaker 1: have to have good people. I guess that give you
Speaker 1: good advice, and you have to ultimately have good intuition.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you can tank your career pretty quick if you
Speaker 1: accidentally sign onto something that seems great on paper and
Speaker 1: then it just doesn't sure, and then taking the bad
Speaker 1: advice of an agent or manager too. That factors in
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. Um let me see here, Brandon uh suragay
Speaker 1: or sura Gal says, what's your favorite hot sandwich? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with what It's a really close one between
Speaker 1: a Philly cheesteak and a French dip. Interesting, what about you?
Speaker 1: Those are very good sandwiches I like. I like ASTRAMI
Speaker 1: like a yeah, like what do they call ram on rye?
Speaker 1: I really think the best sandwich that there there is, though,
Speaker 1: is a really good bond me. Oh sure, because you
Speaker 1: got that crunchy bread, trunchy on the outside, soft on
Speaker 1: the inside. I'll get a little bit of spice, a
Speaker 1: little bit sweet. Yeah. No, monte Cristo, No, I do
Speaker 1: like them like. I'm more of a crook monsieur kind
Speaker 1: of guy. Oh, I love a croak monsieur with the
Speaker 1: egg on the top. Yeah, is that which is the
Speaker 1: mark one on top? I think that's with the egg
Speaker 1: and the cheese and the hand, which is a lot
Speaker 1: like a monte Cristo. So I need to look into
Speaker 1: my sandwiches. I think a monte Cristo has jelly in it,
Speaker 1: and I think it is powdered sugar and powdered sugar.
Speaker 1: Isn't it like frenche toasted? Yes, it's an egg dip,
Speaker 1: but so are the croak monsieur and the crooked. Okay,
Speaker 1: we should totally start a sandwich podcast. I think that's
Speaker 1: a great Yeah. No, you're right. The monte Cristo is
Speaker 1: a fried ham and cheese sandwich and it's a variation
Speaker 1: of the croak Monsieur. I know that when I worked
Speaker 1: at my restaurant in New Jersey that the elderly set
Speaker 1: loved the monte Cristo. Um, and I always associate it
Speaker 1: with being like, you know, like an old person sandwich
Speaker 1: because they ate those things up man, And then I
Speaker 1: never saw kids ordering them. The croak, my damn has
Speaker 1: the egg on hop, so it's almost like an egg
Speaker 1: in the whole kind of situation. It's holding the hole. Well,
Speaker 1: next time you go to l A, go to Barney's
Speaker 1: Beanery and get the toad in the hole. No, I've
Speaker 1: never been there. It's wonderful and it's a legendary place too.
Speaker 1: It's been around you totally has that vibe and you
Speaker 1: never know who you're gonna see in there. It's an
Speaker 1: old school diner. And that is where Janice Joplin went,
Speaker 1: uh and drank the night she died. I wonder what
Speaker 1: she ordered, mm hmmm. Most likely Southern Comfort would be
Speaker 1: I guess that was her jam, Southern Comfort. I love
Speaker 1: Southern com You like it. It's so sweet though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a cherry cherry liquor. Interesting. I feel like
Speaker 1: drinking a lot of that would make you read. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the deal is. I don't I don't sit around
Speaker 1: and drink Southern Comfort, but that has long been my
Speaker 1: camping uh uh, what do you call it? Yeah, like
Speaker 1: you know, we'll all be hanging around and you know,
Speaker 1: you pass the bottle around of Southern Comfort and you
Speaker 1: take a slug out. But every hour or so I
Speaker 1: would drink Southern Comfort on a camping trip with you, child. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it has a lower alcohol content. It's not like
Speaker 1: eighty proof or whatever. Ninety proof. That was me dropping
Speaker 1: a hid And I want you to invite. I know
Speaker 1: you're gonna go camp, but with me, you're yes. God,
Speaker 1: can I tell you something funny really quick? Yes? Uh,
Speaker 1: my girlfriend just texted me and she works for the
Speaker 1: state and dealing with like placing homeless people in affordable housing.
Speaker 1: Really amazing, and she busts her ass and she's a
Speaker 1: total badass. And she just sent me this litany of
Speaker 1: like really difficult things that she's been dealing with today.
Speaker 1: And I said, I have a baby job. You're dealing
Speaker 1: with all these real world problems that affect people. And
Speaker 1: I wrote a Harry Potter haiku and I found it difficult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had to write myself with that a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and old for being a goofus who just runs his
Speaker 1: mouth for a living. But um, I think it's uh,
Speaker 1: we've got enough good feedback over the years that it's
Speaker 1: a there's value to it. Oh, No, they're absolutely is that.
Speaker 1: I'm totally joking. But at the same time, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just funny because you see real work being done.
Speaker 1: You know, it is real working. We do things other
Speaker 1: than run our mouths, by the way, Chuck, I know,
Speaker 1: but I'm just I'm just being hard on us all right.
Speaker 1: And the final question of the day that we're gonna
Speaker 1: go with is uh from Felix Lennen says, uh, what
Speaker 1: is your favorite spike Lee character? Ever? That's really really
Speaker 1: tough because so many great spike Lee characters come to mind.
Speaker 1: My first instinct is to go with Mookie from Do
Speaker 1: the Right Thing or Danny a Yellow's character and Do
Speaker 1: the Right Thing. And then my brain goes to Noah
Speaker 1: Darling from She's Got to Have It, or Mars Blackman
Speaker 1: from She's Got to Have It, which has been fully
Speaker 1: enriched by the TV version, or Jungle Fever. Oh, or
Speaker 1: he got Game man Denzel and he Got Game, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies. Or maybe Bleak Gillham in mo
Speaker 1: Better Blues. God, I'm so bad at this. Oh God,
Speaker 1: are the little or Alfrey Woodard in Crookland. You're just
Speaker 1: a Spike Lee fan, I am man. It's it's it
Speaker 1: would be really hard to pick. And I'm looking over
Speaker 1: his list of his films, and I think I've seen
Speaker 1: almost all of them. I never saw Red Hook Summer.
Speaker 1: I need to see that one. Uh that was out
Speaker 1: a few years ago, it was like five or six
Speaker 1: years ago. I don't know. I didn't see that for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I then no real reason at all. Um,
Speaker 1: I have not seen any of those deep, those older
Speaker 1: Spike Lee movies. When you say any have you seen
Speaker 1: Do the Right Thing? No? God, have you seen Malcolm X? No?
Speaker 1: Have you seen She's Got to Have It? Now? Have
Speaker 1: you seen School Days? No? Have you seen Jungle Fever?
Speaker 1: Have you seen She? Have you seen Crookland? Have you
Speaker 1: seen mo Better Blues? Oh? No, I'm just I'm being honest, man.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, just like The Hulk, and I
Speaker 1: think I really like Bamboozled When I was younger, Like,
Speaker 1: I thought that was a really interesting, weird, great movie.
Speaker 1: And I think that's probably looked at as one of
Speaker 1: his like lesser movies, but came out when I was
Speaker 1: you know, it was two thousand and Uh. I just
Speaker 1: have not seen any of those movies. And there's no
Speaker 1: reason for it. I need need to, I need to,
Speaker 1: I need to correct that. Yeah. I feel like you
Speaker 1: should almost do just do like a Spike Lee week
Speaker 1: and see like five movies in a row. My my
Speaker 1: best friend Frank Um recently saw Do the Right Thing
Speaker 1: for the first time, and he just couldn't stop talking
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, that's the one you should holds up,
Speaker 1: you know, incredibly well. Or he could just go in
Speaker 1: order maybe and just go She's gotta have it, School Days,
Speaker 1: do the right Thing, Jungle Fever and mo Better Blues.
Speaker 1: That's a good like five spot to get you going.
Speaker 1: One of my heroes, everyone, the great great Spike Lee fingers.
Speaker 1: Do you think he deserves the wind for Black Klansman? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? But do you don't think that
Speaker 1: was like one of his best movies though? Right? That
Speaker 1: was what we're talking about. It's sort of like, why
Speaker 1: didn't he get one for any of these ones that
Speaker 1: you seem to hold up so high? And then there's
Speaker 1: this one now he's finally getting nominated four? It does
Speaker 1: it compare to his other work? It's a it's a
Speaker 1: top ten Spike Lee movie, got it? Uh? And And
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the uh the body of work, Oscar,
Speaker 1: I'll just go ahead and say it. That's fine with me.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I think I think that's great. All right,
Speaker 1: that's in everyone. I think we're done. Noel, do you
Speaker 1: feel good? I feel great? Man? Are you ready get
Speaker 1: out of here? Yeah? I'm ready to go out of here.
Speaker 1: And start my spike Lee Marathon. All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1: See any time
