Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, and welcome to Mini Crush with Chuck
Speaker 1: and Nol. What's so good about it? Chuck, guys, Nol
Speaker 1: is so cranky. I'm fired up. Let me tell you. Well,
Speaker 1: we might as well tell everyone. You just came in
Speaker 1: the room bitching in moning like, look, talk about bougie
Speaker 1: first world problem, you know, at the same time I
Speaker 1: need my coffee. Chuck. Well, here's the deal, everybody. We
Speaker 1: used to have this uh, you know, reliable but a
Speaker 1: pretty dope machine that would make a cappuccino or whatever
Speaker 1: you want, absolutely just but the press of a button.
Speaker 1: And then they said, you know what, this thing is
Speaker 1: so great, let's get rid of it. Le's get rid
Speaker 1: of it. It was also the thing where I think,
Speaker 1: you know, the fresh the cost of the fresh beans
Speaker 1: outweighed the cost of the K cups. I roll. What Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense, does it. This is a
Speaker 1: bean cost apparently, yeah, apparently it's literally people are there's
Speaker 1: bean counters involved, you know. So now we got this
Speaker 1: k machine what do you call it? A kurig? Yeah,
Speaker 1: which I'm totally again, Well, they're they're awful because they're
Speaker 1: very wasteful. They have, you know, like it's it's not
Speaker 1: a good thing. The other one, the Beau, the beans
Speaker 1: were directly in the machine. It would grind them right there. Whatever,
Speaker 1: it was great. But this one, here's the problem. Apparently
Speaker 1: the reservoir in the machine, the k machines don't want
Speaker 1: to call it, uh, is like it doesn't fill up
Speaker 1: properly with our water filter. So the machine never thinks
Speaker 1: that's enough water in it. So when you do is
Speaker 1: you'll walk up to it and be like, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. You put in your cake cup,
Speaker 1: and then it says please eight indefinitely no progress bar.
Speaker 1: You know, give me the courtesy of a progress bar,
Speaker 1: so I know how long I'm waiting for? What am
Speaker 1: I waiting for? You? And then everybody, uh, in a
Speaker 1: in a big Noel has been sort of the squeaky
Speaker 1: wheel about this. And then in a not company wide
Speaker 1: but our office at least a podcast network wide email,
Speaker 1: I got put on blast, got called out, called out
Speaker 1: very passive aggressively. It's okay, but but the problem persists. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna write my congressman about it. Basically, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this all the way to city Hall. No,
Speaker 1: you're witnessing a rare occasion. I'm having one of probably
Speaker 1: three Coca Colas a year that I drank Ina Vanilla coke.
Speaker 1: It is um. I don't know why I don't, especially
Speaker 1: my three cokes a year. I don't drink him in
Speaker 1: the morning. I just saw it in there and I went,
Speaker 1: I don't know, morning coke, and morning coke is nice.
Speaker 1: Black ask burn is what they call it? Has that right?
Speaker 1: I had a little bit of wine last night, black goals.
Speaker 1: If we're being on, it's Texas tea. But I'm drinking
Speaker 1: this and it's so delicious. But how do people drink
Speaker 1: this ship every day? Like multiple times a day? You don't,
Speaker 1: It's crazy. I don't. It tastes like a dessert. It
Speaker 1: does tastes like a dessert. I that's why I like
Speaker 1: soda water, because I realized I like the bubbly burn soda,
Speaker 1: the carbonated drink. Yeah, but not the sugar. We got
Speaker 1: those what are those? Uh for? Buzz marketing mont That's
Speaker 1: that's the Atlanta Lacroix equivalent. It's true, that was it
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta. It's out of Atlanta. Okay, support local Chuck.
Speaker 1: I notice you have a bit of extra rasp in
Speaker 1: your voice today. I do for sure you have rasps.
Speaker 1: I have rasp and I have rest. You have a
Speaker 1: little bit extra rasp. Well it's early. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm actually sick. Oh no, I just said a couple
Speaker 1: of drinks, like, no, this is what fu forty eight
Speaker 1: sounds like? Forty eight? Yeah, see, I'm about to be
Speaker 1: thirty six. Pardon me every yeah, August eight, send me presents. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I mean this will be out sort of right around then. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it's my birthday. It's a happy birthday. Many think, dude,
Speaker 1: thirty six looks good on you. Thanks dude, I appreciate that. Um,
Speaker 1: I guess I can mark check on the catch up section.
Speaker 1: I think you can. So, No, what we're gonna do
Speaker 1: this week is and it has been a minute. I've
Speaker 1: missed you. Yeah, I listened. We got ahead, so we
Speaker 1: took a couple of weeks, right. I noticed something funny
Speaker 1: kind of happened on one of those episodes we recorded
Speaker 1: ahead of time. We remarked on Midsummer yeard that and
Speaker 1: then we had already had already crushed it. Yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's not worth going in and editing
Speaker 1: out of those sences, right, But it was funny to
Speaker 1: me at the time. I was like, oh, here's how
Speaker 1: we felt, and this was like like this is It
Speaker 1: was like I was like looking back through time and
Speaker 1: seeing the precursor to how I just coming together and
Speaker 1: kind of like mutually making that movie right when you
Speaker 1: were thirty five, When when I was thirty it was
Speaker 1: pretty okay. Um, god, that's one of the best Sinatra
Speaker 1: jams ever. Yeah, gotta love that song. Have you seen this.
Speaker 1: There's an opening sequence in one of the later seasons
Speaker 1: of The Sopranos that uses that song. Oh yeah, as
Speaker 1: it like it's like narrating what's going on and man,
Speaker 1: so good. That was a big I went to a
Speaker 1: big Sinatra phase in college. Never left it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why we don't like to get to ahead of
Speaker 1: the game, NOL, because we like these to be fresh
Speaker 1: and current, not weeks and weeks old. It's true, but
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Because Josh and I did a couple
Speaker 1: of live shows. They went great Chicago and Toronto. Toronto
Speaker 1: as they say, don't say Toronto. That's like saying Atlanta.
Speaker 1: It's Atlanta Toronto. Uh. They were great, They're awesome, great crowds,
Speaker 1: fun people, great show. Uh we just you know, it's
Speaker 1: good to be back on stage with my pal. Hadn't
Speaker 1: done it since January, so we had a nice long
Speaker 1: layoff and it was just great. I had a great time.
Speaker 1: I'm heading to New York to do a live show
Speaker 1: myself today. Oh yeah, with ridiculous No, with stuff they
Speaker 1: don't want you to know. We're doing an event for
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers that's like surrounding this movie The Kitchen that
Speaker 1: they've got coming out that's about badass women, mobsters and
Speaker 1: Hell's Kitchen. So you're doing a special live appearance as
Speaker 1: a part of it, like an overall ad deal. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's great, it's cool, good for you, really fun. It's
Speaker 1: at an old theater in the in the East village
Speaker 1: called uh Theater eighties. St. Mark's amazing. Yeah, it should
Speaker 1: be fun on St. Mark's. I imagine on St. Mark's. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I'm so jelly. I'm very looking forward to It's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun, alright. So no longer in the front load
Speaker 1: this one with a kind of a quickie stream this
Speaker 1: slash crush to judgment because Sir, I would like to
Speaker 1: reckon with you about The Black Coat's Daughter. What about it?
Speaker 1: I saw it, he didn't like it. I did not
Speaker 1: well ship Josh Clark loves this movie. Backstage in Chicago,
Speaker 1: one of the first things I said was I gotta
Speaker 1: talk to you about The Black Coat's Daughter, and he went,
Speaker 1: you know you saw it and I said yeah, and
Speaker 1: he I said, I hated it pretty much. And he
Speaker 1: said it's probably my favorite horror movie of all time.
Speaker 1: And I was like, really favorite. I don't know about
Speaker 1: all the time, but I thought it was great. And
Speaker 1: then he asked what the deal was and I started
Speaker 1: to pick it apart and he said to stop, and
Speaker 1: he said, because that your all your points are valid.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear him. Well, but you could
Speaker 1: also argue that you're missing the point. Oh well, is
Speaker 1: that it's you know all right, Well, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: And folks, if you haven't seen The Black Coat's Daughter, uh,
Speaker 1: you might not want to listen because I'm gonna spoil
Speaker 1: some stuff. I think it's still streaming. I think it's
Speaker 1: either on Netflix or Hulu or one of those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think I watched on Netflix or maybe
Speaker 1: it was Amazon. So my biggest problem, no, overall, overall,
Speaker 1: my biggest problem was the fact that they flash nine
Speaker 1: years in the future and Emma Roberts is supposed to
Speaker 1: be Karen Schipka. I didn't get it. I literally had
Speaker 1: to google afterward are those the same? Is that supposed
Speaker 1: to be the same person? And I just thought it
Speaker 1: was terrible. I don't even remember that. I know what
Speaker 1: you're talking. That's the whole point of the movie, is like,
Speaker 1: nine years in the future, Emma Roberts is kills the
Speaker 1: parents of the person we're talking about the same movie. Yea,
Speaker 1: kills the parents of the kids that she killed, and
Speaker 1: uh school or all the other people, and like it
Speaker 1: was it was supposed to be heard nine years later
Speaker 1: and they don't look alike. I was just I didn't
Speaker 1: get it. I was like, I thought Satan had possessed
Speaker 1: multiple girls or something, and I was like, why didn't
Speaker 1: they flash forward twenty five years in the future and
Speaker 1: cast a middle age actor. You know, I didn't make
Speaker 1: that connection either, Chuck, that's the whole point of the movie. Well,
Speaker 1: but that but that's my whole point about missing the
Speaker 1: point that was the big twist. I didn't care about
Speaker 1: the twist. It's her. I didn't care about that. I
Speaker 1: just thought it was atmospherically cool and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the build and the slow bird and the tension.
Speaker 1: I thought it was. The kids were good. I thought
Speaker 1: the you know, I don't know, I like a slow burn.
Speaker 1: To me. It was so slow though that like almost
Speaker 1: nothing happened, and the whole Satan thing it just seemed
Speaker 1: thrown into, like, oh man, this will be fucked up.
Speaker 1: It was never explored, it was never like. It just
Speaker 1: seemed very tached on and lazy. It's hard for me
Speaker 1: to do this with you right now, Chuck, because I
Speaker 1: haven't seen it in probably a year. It is a
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of subtle things going on
Speaker 1: in that movie, and I remember vaguely what you're talking
Speaker 1: about with the actor not matching up. But I also,
Speaker 1: in my mind, I don't think I even connected that,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's my bad. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: still remember enjoying the film so fair enough. I also
Speaker 1: remember there being some problems, but I know there were problems.
Speaker 1: I was willing to overlook because I thought the overall
Speaker 1: vibe was pretty cool. I mean, I enjoyed the vibe.
Speaker 1: I do like a slow burn, Like I said, it
Speaker 1: just I don't know, man, it did not do it
Speaker 1: for me, Like the big twist that that was her
Speaker 1: nine years later. It was like nine years and she
Speaker 1: would she had plastic surgery. I seem to recall having
Speaker 1: googled some stuff as well. Yeah, yeah, all right, fair enough,
Speaker 1: but hey, people like it. I had a bit of
Speaker 1: a discussion on the Facebook page here, and a lot
Speaker 1: of people have the same problem I did. We're totally
Speaker 1: confused by this nine years later thing. And then a
Speaker 1: lot of people were like, I really liked it so
Speaker 1: and who is the black coat anyway? I guess that's Satan, Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess. And I had the most low key, kind
Speaker 1: of lame exorcism I've ever seen in a movie. It
Speaker 1: was like thirty seconds long. I don't know, man, did
Speaker 1: not didn't need a more beefy exorcism in your in
Speaker 1: your horror films. I mean, if you're gonna have an exorcism,
Speaker 1: have an exorcism, you know, throw it away. Here's black
Speaker 1: Coat's daughter explained I'll read this for my own personal
Speaker 1: but well, that's the idea. She kills uh what's her face,
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury's wife from Lucy uh Boynton. She kills her,
Speaker 1: the cool girl in school. They're they're stuck together. And
Speaker 1: then nine years later she is released from the mental
Speaker 1: or escapes from the mental institution, and just so happens
Speaker 1: to get picked up by her parents, which like, come on,
Speaker 1: talk about a coincidence. And the parents don't know what
Speaker 1: their daughter's killer looks like, and they're just like, hey,
Speaker 1: you need a ride, let me help you out. I
Speaker 1: had so many problems. No, they just stacked upon one
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna give this a rewatch through the eyes
Speaker 1: of Chuck. I'm willing to allow you to ruin this
Speaker 1: movie for me in a way that Josh was not.
Speaker 1: So that's where I that's where I separate myself from
Speaker 1: the josh Is of the world. I'm willing to have
Speaker 1: something ruined for me. Well, all right, So I watched that.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing I watched NOL, which I
Speaker 1: think you have seen, which I really really loved, was
Speaker 1: the documentary about Harry Nelson. Did you see that? I
Speaker 1: have not seen it? It's called who is Harry Nelson?
Speaker 1: And why is everyone? Why is everybody talking about him? Ye?
Speaker 1: A little clunky title, but I could play on his
Speaker 1: famous song. He also had some clunky album titles too,
Speaker 1: like Nielsen, Schmilson and Son that became a thing. But
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe even a little nod to that.
Speaker 1: Oh you think a little bit, maybe just the fact
Speaker 1: that there's some goofy, goofy title. You know, I certainly
Speaker 1: love his work. Everybody's talking as a great song. You
Speaker 1: put the line in the coconut drank the drank them
Speaker 1: both up, drank the bowl up. I think that's a
Speaker 1: great song. One is the loneliest number he wrote that
Speaker 1: h what else? Oh? Of course? Uh, his biggest hit
Speaker 1: was probably without You, Without You amazing. But I didn't
Speaker 1: know much about the guy, and he has uh sort
Speaker 1: of lived in not obscurity, to be sure, but certainly
Speaker 1: underrated and underappreciated as far as singer songwriters go in
Speaker 1: the history of popular music. And one of the big
Speaker 1: reasons and all. I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 1: but he never performed live. And not only it's not
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna tour like he didn't play live.
Speaker 1: He had a crippling fear of doing so. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that beautiful tenor three octave three and a half octave
Speaker 1: range or whatever he had gorgeous Yeah, really interesting, interesting songwriter.
Speaker 1: Two And like I mean he did like the Popeye
Speaker 1: soundtrack and stuff, you know. And then that movie the
Speaker 1: point that Alan loves so much that I still haven't
Speaker 1: seen an animated I have the soundtrack of that. It
Speaker 1: was gifted to me and I haven't listened to yet
Speaker 1: because it literally is kind of like a play that
Speaker 1: the soundtrack is is like an opera or like a
Speaker 1: musical or listened to. I gotta dig it out. He's
Speaker 1: just a true artist. He did one he uh did
Speaker 1: at sort of the peak of his fame. He did
Speaker 1: a cover of Randy Newman songs like Nelson does Newman
Speaker 1: or or sings Newman all Randy Newman. So they talk
Speaker 1: about his u infamous friendship with John Lennon and the
Speaker 1: documentary a lot in Ringo Star Um. He worshiped the Beatles,
Speaker 1: of course, and in up being palaced with those guys,
Speaker 1: especially Lennon and Star doing a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of Heroin together. I imagine, Well, I don't have that
Speaker 1: lost week and thing right, wasn't that when they're hanging
Speaker 1: out with each other? Yeah, I mean he was a
Speaker 1: part of the Hollywood Vampires, which was um Ringo star
Speaker 1: Keith Moon, John Lennon Um unlikely, maybe most unlikely of all.
Speaker 1: Mickey Dolan's of the Monkeys was part of that group,
Speaker 1: and they were notorious for um just really getting down
Speaker 1: and partying in l a hardcore alcoholics and drug users.
Speaker 1: I don't know about heroin. He was definitely on the
Speaker 1: cocaine um, but his main thing was booze. And I
Speaker 1: didn't realize like they said, And this was Mickey Dolan's
Speaker 1: talking about like hanging out with like he out mooned
Speaker 1: Keith Moon, Harry Nilson did. He said he was just
Speaker 1: like there was no ramp up. It was out of
Speaker 1: the gate, a hundred miles an hour. And they're at
Speaker 1: one point in the documentary they're talking about, um the
Speaker 1: call coming in, like do you want to go out
Speaker 1: from Harry Nilson, and two or three people were like, boy,
Speaker 1: the call. When the call comes you, you gotta know
Speaker 1: like it's not like a night of drinking, like Harry
Speaker 1: will come pick you up for lunch. And three days
Speaker 1: later you will come home and and maybe beat end
Speaker 1: up in a different city like crazy crazy ship. So
Speaker 1: he's like, he's kind of the bad influence in the situation.
Speaker 1: He yeah, it's big. And you know he his his marriage. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's married three times. His first marriage was kind of
Speaker 1: didn't even count. His second marriage really suffered because of that.
Speaker 1: Then eventually settles down and has like six children with
Speaker 1: this third wife that he really loved, but you know,
Speaker 1: alcohol recked his body. Very sad, really really really insightful. Doc.
Speaker 1: You you're gonna love it. I'll check it out. Very good.
Speaker 1: All right, everyone, we are going to slide right into
Speaker 1: a couple of social studies. Social studies and one of
Speaker 1: them was curated by a super pal and I said,
Speaker 1: can I use this? Or actually I think he maybe
Speaker 1: even just suggested it. Uh. Andrew Ryan White said, dude,
Speaker 1: why don't you do one on your favorite movie here?

Speaker 1: that is a great idea, So thank you, Andrew, And

Speaker 1: straight story. That's a great movie. Great movie, David Lynch,
Speaker 1: and it's the one we've made talking about this, but
Speaker 1: it's the one David Lynch movie that has all the
Speaker 1: hallmarks of David Lynchy nous but like it's it's and
Speaker 1: it's such a touching movie but still very lynchy and weird.
Speaker 1: I like, yeah it is. Uh. Well, let's go with
Speaker 1: Andrew Ryan White, who curated this whole thing to begin with.
Speaker 1: He says ninety seven, he said two films stood up
Speaker 1: better than what one. Best picture l A Confidential, all
Speaker 1: time great good. Wild Hunting might be the best first
Speaker 1: screenplay written. And also Titanic, Boogie Nights, Jackie Brown, Men

Speaker 1: Top Fan and Old Pal, Teresa Barker, eighty three, Flash Dance, Vacation,
Speaker 1: The Dead Zone, Trading Places, Mr Mom in terms of endearment,
Speaker 1: A Christmas Story, and Yental. I gotta say no, it
Speaker 1: seems like these days it's just not very good. I mean,
Speaker 1: I love these Marvel movies, but when you look at
Speaker 1: January through December in the last six, eight, ten years,
Speaker 1: it's not that great. Well, it's also like what makes
Speaker 1: the cut on these lists? They have to be you know,
Speaker 1: there's certainly some under the radar one some gems or whatever.
Speaker 1: But what even you type in, you know, best of
Speaker 1: this year, Like what does it have to have made
Speaker 1: a certain amount of money for it to like pop
Speaker 1: up on the list? Yeah, I mean, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of it is, uh. I mean, nostalgia plays a role,
Speaker 1: to be sure, but like Karate Kid has got to
Speaker 1: be on a list. It doesn't have to be like
Speaker 1: a Best Picture winner, you know, to say that Karate Kid,
Speaker 1: it was a great film, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Do you think Karate Kid was a great film? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting,
Speaker 1: Yeah it was yeah for what it was, for what
Speaker 1: it was. Um, I think it's a good film. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: It pushes all my buttons and all still does it
Speaker 1: takes those boxes. Yeah. I mean there's not a time
Speaker 1: that I've watched that movie when uh, the big scene
Speaker 1: when Miagi comes home after a late night after daniel
Speaker 1: Son has been standing the floor and he's had enough
Speaker 1: and he does it, he does the yeah, and he
Speaker 1: realizes that he's been learning karate the whole time. Every
Speaker 1: time I see that ship it it moves me. That
Speaker 1: movie is also like the quintessential montage. Oh sure, I
Speaker 1: mean like that, that's the montage the best what's ever
Speaker 1: going to get? Which was it? Was it one or
Speaker 1: two that had the love theme where it's like I'll
Speaker 1: be the man who will fight. I want to I'm
Speaker 1: not mistaken because like a night and Shining Arm from
Speaker 1: a long time ago, Peter Sitara man that's later Chicago, Chicago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's who that is or I actually met that. I
Speaker 1: think that was Stara Solo got it? No, No, I
Speaker 1: mean he's he was in Chicago. I never connected this.
Speaker 1: They didn't for the break Off. Never, I never associated
Speaker 1: a name with Chicago. You know Stara he played bass
Speaker 1: and saying lead. I mean they had a couple of singers.
Speaker 1: But of course Chicago was all about Terry Calf, and
Speaker 1: there's a great documentary on Terry Calf, one of the
Speaker 1: easily most underrated guitar players of all time. Let me
Speaker 1: see Josh Brennan says, eighty five, goon, He's back to
Speaker 1: the Future, Breakfast Club, weird Science. Wait a minute, are

Speaker 1: the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead. Okay, that
Speaker 1: sounds about right. Al old Buddy Craig might have hung
Speaker 1: those signs and all. Yeah, my my daughter's stepdad worked

Speaker 1: She goes with pulp fiction professional Forrest Gump Shawshank interviewed
Speaker 1: the Vampire Natural Born Killers. Not bad? What is that for? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good year. It was a very good year.
Speaker 1: It was I remember that pretty distinctly from being too
Speaker 1: young to see all those movies, but yet still having
Speaker 1: seen them in the theater, Like I saw an interview
Speaker 1: with the Vampire in the theater. I saw pulp fiction
Speaker 1: in the theater. Yeah. Same. Tank Girl came out that
Speaker 1: year too, not on the list probably, but oh it
Speaker 1: was fun enough, not great, but no, it's not a
Speaker 1: good movie. Like what's her face? Was it? Lori Perry petty?
Speaker 1: But it's also got like iced Tea dressed as a
Speaker 1: weird mutant kangaroo. Oh that's right, Yeah, he's got all
Speaker 1: He's like part of a whole gang of weird, puffy
Speaker 1: kangaroo people. And that was a comic book correct Edwin
Speaker 1: Forrest Glenn says, n Truman Show, Rushmore, Lebowski, Private Ryan,
Speaker 1: American History X Wedding Singers, Rounders Meet Joe black Lock Stock.
Speaker 1: Not a bad year, boy, really, when you stack these
Speaker 1: up next to each other. What I have not seen, really,
Speaker 1: is anyone do anything from the past twelve to fifteen years. No, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just for as an experiment looking up. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not bad, dude, it's not bad. All right. Let's here.
Speaker 1: We've got mad Max, Fury Road, We've got The Martian. Uh.
Speaker 1: I see how people liked it Inside Out fantastic animated film,
Speaker 1: Creed people seem to enjoy I haven't seen it. The Revenant. Uh.
Speaker 1: Leo DiCaprio climbs inside of a bear like that movie
Speaker 1: much like as much as you can like it. Well,
Speaker 1: you know he uh he definitely deserved that Oscar did
Speaker 1: he get it? I don't even remember seeing That's how
Speaker 1: little I care about that movie. The Big Short that
Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, but here's the deal to me, No, uh,
Speaker 1: these movies have to I think I know what it is.
Speaker 1: They have to stand the test of time. Time. So
Speaker 1: in twenty years, are people are gonna look back and say, oh, boy, man,
Speaker 1: remember that you're the Martian came out Share Love train Wreck.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Gosh, that was a that was
Speaker 1: a romp. They're just okay, They're not long lasting. I
Speaker 1: don't think. Yeah, I mean even like a movie like
Speaker 1: the Marvel movies, which are so fun. They're fun, like
Speaker 1: a ride is fun, like a like a you know,
Speaker 1: amusement park ride is fun. Yeah, I'm not gonna like,
Speaker 1: I'm not losing sleep thinking about you know, the Pathos
Speaker 1: and ant Man, you know, I mean, it's just not happening,
Speaker 1: all right. I think we Uh, I think we covered
Speaker 1: our bases there. Uh. So I'm gonna move on finally,
Speaker 1: no to in one more social studies, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start doing some of these. I decided to get kind
Speaker 1: of specific. And if I'm not mistaken, this may be
Speaker 1: coming out just a couple of days after Mr Robert
Speaker 1: de Niro's birthday, and so we're going to salute him
Speaker 1: and I simply asked, what is your favorite Robert de
Speaker 1: Niro performance one of the great actors of all time?
Speaker 1: Not best, not favorite movie, favorite performance. I know it
Speaker 1: right off the top of my head. I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a guess, Noll, what do you think I'm going to
Speaker 1: say you loved Raging Bull? No, mind's a mind's way
Speaker 1: off the beaten path, Mad Dog and Glory, The King
Speaker 1: of Comedy, Oh God, great, Rupert, Rupert Pupkin. If you
Speaker 1: guys haven't seen The King of Comedy. It's sort of
Speaker 1: a lesser Scorsese. It's like a weird mad cap kind
Speaker 1: of like obsession obsession movie, dark comedy, dark comedy, not
Speaker 1: really a thriller, definitely no mob stuff at all. It's
Speaker 1: just a character study. Lewis so great about Sander Bernhard
Speaker 1: thought this kind of not even a has been and
Speaker 1: never was comedian who like lives in his mother's basement.
Speaker 1: It becomes obsessed with this talk show host. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: the sort of the Carson Johnny Carson character, which was
Speaker 1: Erry Lewis. And that's all you need to know about it,
Speaker 1: because so many good things that happened in that movie.
Speaker 1: Sandra Bernhard is in it, and plays a fellow obsessive
Speaker 1: and it's just so good. I don't man, I wish
Speaker 1: he was around more. She was great. She popped up
Speaker 1: in an episode of Sopranos. I've been rewatching The Sopranos
Speaker 1: and there's an episode where Jon Favreau plays himself directing
Speaker 1: like a gangster movie, and Chris Malta santi one of
Speaker 1: the younger soprano protege or wherever, kind of starts up
Speaker 1: what's the word, consulting a little bit on it, and
Speaker 1: I think Sandra Bernhardt and um Janine Garoffalo are in
Speaker 1: the movie, and that's the last time I've really seen
Speaker 1: Sandra Bernhard. She's great. Mr Alright, So we're going with
Speaker 1: Charles martin Acres. When a Burl Pal says Casino, Jim
Speaker 1: Bousa says, meet the parents, even though good Fellows is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies. So he gets it, old
Speaker 1: pal and top pan Barry King says, uh, well, he
Speaker 1: didn't really say. He just says he's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite actor holes. Oh, one of his biggest actor holes.
Speaker 1: Sorry he does. He mentions Casino for best performance. I
Speaker 1: just put it that, Verry. I'll apologies. So it's fine.
Speaker 1: Casino is good because it's like it's sort of an
Speaker 1: understated DeNiro performance as well. He's not the heavy Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not the yuck he hamming it up or whatever
Speaker 1: too in the scenery as much. He's a little more understated. Well,
Speaker 1: the whole point of that character is to be very
Speaker 1: common in control the radar, kind of like he's the
Speaker 1: guy that doesn't actually kill anybody. He just kind of
Speaker 1: like he's the boss kind of, but he's also boy,
Speaker 1: he has to be like the legitimate businessman, right exactly.
Speaker 1: I really love Casino. I think I think it got
Speaker 1: sort of I mean, people like Casino, but I think
Speaker 1: it was a scene as lesser at the time compared
Speaker 1: to like a good Fellas. That's fair maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I'm not I'm not saying I know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't agree with you. I'm saying I I think,
Speaker 1: I honestly think they're equal, and I think it's maybe
Speaker 1: a hair below good Fellas. But Sharon Stone and James Woods,
Speaker 1: he and though he's an awful human, was great in
Speaker 1: that movie, isn't he. Yeah, God, he's terrible. Old pal
Speaker 1: Brian Throckmorton, uh says the Captain and Star Dust. I
Speaker 1: don't know that. What is that? Oh? Stardust is a
Speaker 1: Neil Gaiman movie based on a comic based on a
Speaker 1: novel by Neil Game. It's sort of a fantasy princess
Speaker 1: bride fairy tale kind of thing, because he does play
Speaker 1: kind of a goofy airship captain in that. And I
Speaker 1: don't really remember much else about it. I didn't I
Speaker 1: wasn't a huge fan of even I love Neil Gaming.
Speaker 1: But what's your name? Michelle Pfeiffer's in it? Uh, somebody
Speaker 1: else kind of famous is in it, But it's Neil
Speaker 1: Game and Mary too. To Amanda Palmer, Right, that's right.
Speaker 1: Helen Lyons, old Pal says, I love how he chewed
Speaker 1: the scenery in Cape Fear, my first to nero experience.
Speaker 1: Didn't that come up with bad accents? I think before
Speaker 1: where we're like so bad also so good, you know,
Speaker 1: like you just kind of like look past it's gotta
Speaker 1: go with it. I think it was so over the top.
Speaker 1: I certainly loved that Cape Fear movie. Uh, that one
Speaker 1: as opposed to the other one, although they're both great.
Speaker 1: Old Pal Don Morris's Silver Linings playbook hands down such
Speaker 1: a specific and flawed character. Yeah, boy, he was good
Speaker 1: in that. Austin Handler Old friends says Jimmy Conway and
Speaker 1: Goodfellas of course, and a lifetime of great roles. My
Speaker 1: hands down favorite DeNiro roll hard to argue. Robert Paulson,
Speaker 1: pipe down, Paulson, our old pal says, Mean Streets so
Speaker 1: real and so raw? Have you ever seen mean streets
Speaker 1: and all? That's what I haven't seen. Get on it, brother,
Speaker 1: classic song at the beginning? Is there rolling stones? Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean this is course aisy movie, so there's got
Speaker 1: to be rolling stets? Yeah? Mein streets man so good?
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely I like the range of DeNiro,
Speaker 1: but when he was like in his early twenties, just
Speaker 1: crushing it, man, crushing it. R J. Revniac says it's
Speaker 1: gotta be Jay Clamta and Raging Bull transformed his body
Speaker 1: and oscillated between Despicable Husband and pitiable has been so good.
Speaker 1: Old friend David Mills says stereotypical, gotta be good Fellas.
Speaker 1: Here you go, Noel, our old friend Alex Alex Glasnovich says,
Speaker 1: King of Comedy is Scorsese's best film, which one King
Speaker 1: of Comedy? Yes, absolutely. I don't know if it's his
Speaker 1: best film, but it's one to me that is remarkable
Speaker 1: because it's so him trying something else and stepping out,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't feel like a Scorsese movie, but it's
Speaker 1: just like so uniquely itself. For I love that. And
Speaker 1: he's one of those directors that kind of tends to
Speaker 1: lean on a thing, you know, and this one doesn't
Speaker 1: really this goes outside of that. Yeah. Yeah. Our old
Speaker 1: friend Sean McFarland says, Bronx Tale such a humble character.
Speaker 1: He wants nothing but to protect his family. What I
Speaker 1: like here, Noel, is you're getting We're getting a lot
Speaker 1: of different We're getting a nice variety. It's not like
Speaker 1: good Fellows straight down, you know, Jimmy Conway or burn
Speaker 1: Over Um. Valerie burns his heat a dinner scene with Pacino.
Speaker 1: Another vote for start Us from our old friend John
Speaker 1: millsap Dan Turk says Wag the Dog. Christopher Rennie, her
Speaker 1: old pal, says Travis Bickle easily. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: haven't even talked about Oh here we go, Oh. Pete
Speaker 1: Drummond Man After My Own Heart Midnight Run one of
Speaker 1: my favorite favorite all time comedies. So so good. Our
Speaker 1: old friend Jeff Clark's Cape fear tied with Awakenings, as
Speaker 1: did Tracy de Martini said Awakenings, she said, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I could start crying just thinking about it. I forgot
Speaker 1: how good that movie was. Did you like that one Awakening? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Is that the one where all
Speaker 1: the old people are in the cocoons? Jesus No. Awakenings
Speaker 1: is a true story of of the doctor. I can't
Speaker 1: remember the doctor's real name. What was it? Come on,
Speaker 1: Chuck Robin Williams though, where he works with bringing um
Speaker 1: the de Niro character out of his not a coma
Speaker 1: but his conditions. Okay, Oh, I can't remember what the
Speaker 1: condition is exactly. It's really good. That's interesting. I'll to
Speaker 1: check it out. I remember it. I remember there had
Speaker 1: there was some coma nests going on and awakening. Right,
Speaker 1: it's about like awake, awakening from a fugue state or
Speaker 1: some times. Yeah. Another vote for Stardust from John SHAWL.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see that now. Actually, it's coming up enough.
Speaker 1: I'd like to rewatch it because it's definitely like a
Speaker 1: rollicking kind of adventure in you know, a fairytale world.
Speaker 1: Kind of movie. But for some reason, it didn't grab
Speaker 1: me when I saw it, and I was primed to
Speaker 1: like it. That was really into Neil Gaiman, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is greatly great, and I just
Speaker 1: for some reason, I didn't remember caring that much about it.
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Neil Gaiman The Sandman. You never
Speaker 1: read the Sandman comics, never read it, So don't read comics,
Speaker 1: that's okay. I didn't either until I read Watchman and
Speaker 1: then I got into like, so I did read watch
Speaker 1: Key graphic novels. I'm not like a comic guy, but
Speaker 1: like I like a handful. And they're starting to see
Speaker 1: him turning into movies and Netflix properties and stuff. Now
Speaker 1: Sandman just got signed on to do a Netflix series
Speaker 1: and it's a great story, really cool. I want to
Speaker 1: check it up. Oh, here's the one we haven't heard yet.
Speaker 1: Beatriz uh As Evedo says al Capone in The Intouchables. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would argue with that he kind of goes full
Speaker 1: full Pesci in that. Doesn't he like smash somebody up
Speaker 1: with a baseball bat, like he goes full al Capone.
Speaker 1: Well that's fair. I guess maybe Pesci goes full to Nero.
Speaker 1: Well past, she's just known for smashing people up and
Speaker 1: getting upset. You know. He came out of retirement for
Speaker 1: this new Scorsese pick The Irishman, The Irishman. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't wait. Maybe help will be good Sean McCaulay. Finally
Speaker 1: we get to The Godfather Part two. I was waiting
Speaker 1: for someone to say that, Um yeah, Like, why hasn't
Speaker 1: anyone said that yet? Craig Reynolds Once upon a Time
Speaker 1: in America, another King of Comedy fan from Johnny Mockney,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people like Meet the Parents. No,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going with the with the
Speaker 1: comedies there. Well, it's sort of like it revealed him
Speaker 1: to be a pretty spot on comedic actor, and I
Speaker 1: think people appreciated his willingness to take the piss out
Speaker 1: of himself kind of right yeah yeah, and kind of
Speaker 1: play on his persona. I like it. All Right, We're
Speaker 1: gonna finish this up with this great comment from Heather
Speaker 1: dub Coba Casino or good Fellas or ship taxi driver
Speaker 1: is great too. See that's what happens. And only start
Speaker 1: to type a comment and then everything just starts popping
Speaker 1: into your head, you know, what I mean. Alrighty, that's it. Everyone.
Speaker 1: You got anything else? No, no, no, love the King
Speaker 1: of Comedy. Love, the King of Comedy. I do too.
