WEBVTT - Mini Crush #97 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:30.480 Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody, 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.280 welcome to Minny Crush the two Days Before Christmas edition. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:41.200 It is December, is it? It's not really, we're doing 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:46.080 the podcast time thing. It's really December four? Did I 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.559 just ruin it for everyone? Man? Not really? Did you 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.880 like my Tim Allen? Ho ho ho ho? I don't 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:58.600 get that? Remember, uh, Tim Allen Home Improvement? Another guy 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.880 he would go, he would do that on home and 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.480 would do that. Yeah. I never saw an episode of 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.039 Home Improvement he would go. And I never saw the 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:14.559 Santa Claus movies, which you're gonna shame me for having 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.520 not seen Elf, and you haven't seen the Santa Claus. 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.000 The Santa Claus always struck me as a children's movie. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.120 Isn't Elf kind of a children's movie? The Santa Claus? 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.399 That's a good question, Chuck that it was a Disney film, Okay. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.080 I always thought of it as being kind of Elf, Like, 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.479 I know, it's not as funny or as revered, but 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.720 it's probably PG as well. I would say it had 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.400 some you know, Tim Allen wasn't really a children's entertainer 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.839 per se. Al Right, So the original Santa Claus movie 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.720 was in n I was in my fifth year of college, 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.240 so for me, it was not on my rate. For me, 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.920 it was part of the fabric of my reality. And 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.600 I think that may be the thing with me and Elf, 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.360 like maybe I don't know, it's not in the of 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.080 your reality. No, it is now clearly you've you've shoved 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.320 it into the fabric of my reality pretty aggressively, might 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.760 I add um? But no, I really want to see it. 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.280 But the Santa Claus U I saw it in the theater, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.880 so I can't really speak to whether it's a good 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.200 movie or not. It probably isn't if I'm being honest, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.080 be honest, No, I always try to be don't fucking lie. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:23.760 Hey man, it's Christmas. I would never what happens when 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.600 you lie at Christmas? Does that? Does that not bode well? 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.320 You get that lump? Yeah. I asked Ruby this morning 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.280 and said, Ruby, so do you think you're going to 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.080 be in Santa Claus's uh, naughty list or nice list? 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.600 Because you know, sometimes you don't cooperate, and we're in 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.120 a big phase of trying to get cooperation. So we're 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.200 talking about a lot of the Santa card And she 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.919 said m M. I think I'd be in both, she said, 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.399 because sometimes I cooperate and sometimes I don't. So she's 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.720 in the middle. Yeah, and very stute. She's probably in 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.960 the naughty and nice list. How does that work? Though? 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.000 It's gotta it's gotta shake out one way or the other. Santa, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.120 it's fake, no what she gets gifts, no matter what. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.160 All right, that's true. Do you think there was ever 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.280 a parent that really went the full mile and like 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.040 put like coal and the stocking and gave no presents? Oh? 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:17.320 Probably in the old days, like in the thirties. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:21.400 although coal is expensive, that's true. That's true. They needed 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.760 to heat their homes. Well, then you just take it 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.280 and you know, it's more of the gift for the parents, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.160 really right for the household. Just take it out of 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.720 the stock, out of the stocking, into the fire or 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:38.280 the furnace. Yeah. What's that shirt you got on? So 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.000 the shining doesn't say anything? Or is it just his face? 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.840 I can't see the bottom, Okay, but I got it 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.720 at the timber Line Lodge gift shop at the Portland, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.680 Oregon Airport, because the timber Line Lodge is the external 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:57.080 uh for the at the timber Line Lodge store. They 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.680 sell a lot of shining memorabilia and we're sitting a 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.200 little key fobs for the over you know, like like 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.120 a hotel key for Overlook. I got a bunch of those. Um. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.960 They have really great hats too. I always buy a 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.640 hat there. The Portland Airport is pretty great. All the 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.880 stuff they sell there is all super local. Even have 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:16.120 like a whiskey kiosk of like this really pricey local 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.560 whiskey and it's a really great airport duty free. I 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.240 don't think so. It was quite expensive. I love those 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.040 old motel key key chains. That's what it is. It's 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.719 sort of like a diamond shade, the old piece of 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.880 plastic or Buddy Gail the danger Oven. Coots sent me 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.960 one does I say Coots? You did cos it was 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.680 from Jaws and it referenced quint very It's very nice. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.400 I'll check it out. It's one of my favorite gifts. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.520 Digging through your drawers, No you're not, okay, fine, Well, 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.640 what I'm trying to think of is what key I 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.760 want to use it for because it can't fit in 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.120 my pocket. Would be my everyday key for me. I 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.080 used it as for an extra key that I would 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.560 maybe give to guests. Okay, that's a good idea. But 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.040 I don't have a key on my door anymore. You 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.360 don't have any friends, so that was that was a joke. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.520 Obviously have all the friends in the world. Weirdly, harsh, No, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.919 I have a digital entry now in my house, so 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.599 I don't have a key house key, and you don't 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.360 exactly you just give a code. I have it. Yeah, 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:12.800 I give a code. I have my key fob for 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.640 my car, and that's it. You don't even have a 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:19.200 single don't have a shed, kind of shed, not one key. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.080 What are you gonna do with this is a fob? Well, 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.919 like you said, give a well I could attach the 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.200 code to a piece of paper. You need to buy 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.080 a second home and make it your old just so 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:44.120 you can use that key. That's a great idea. No, 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.080 we're trying this log line and thing again because I 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.839 screwed it up so bad last time. Oh wait, so 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.920 you you were a little more clear in your instructions. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.040 I was this is what I said, mini crush. Okay, 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.720 let's try this log line thing again, but with a 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:01.040 Christmas angle, right, an original log line for a Christmas movie. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.839 We haven't seen yet. That's that's gonna be fun two sentences. Max, 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.680 I was very specifically, that's that's how you do it there, Chuck, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.680 well done. Jonathan Cooley says a jaded retail executive finds 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:17.000 himself perpetually reliving the same Christmas Eve. It's Christmas for ever. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.960 That's very funny, not bad. It's sort of a combination 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:26.120 of uh ebenee'z are Scrooge wonderful Life and it's a 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:31.800 wonderful life and groundhog Day. Yeah, kind of coolie good idea. 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.640 Groundhog Day is kind of a Christmas movie, isn't it? 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:40.200 Uh not at all. It's not do on groundhog Day. No, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.719 but isn't it that being Christmasy at some point? No? No, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:47.680 it takes place. Yeah, that's right. It might feel that 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.280 way because because of the snow. There's a lot of snow, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.520 and there's a isn't there like a like a snow 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.680 globe situation in it or something? Now I'm thinking of 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.159 st elsewhere. I'm just gonna let you do this, Okay, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.279 you know what go on with the with your game, 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.840 your reindeer game. Joshua Hall says Carol is the last 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.480 person on Earth who believes in Santa, and she's got 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.720 twelve days to keep Christmas alive. Twelve days of Christmas, Carol. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:18.600 These are good. It's pretty good boy, Christmas Carol. Hollywood, 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:24.080 are you listening. Hollywood's always listening. They have spies, Mike 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.000 Mead says, dash or Dancer, Prancer and Vixen. Do you 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.800 know the story of Sprinter? Is this like sponsored content 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.040 for sprint? No? I think uh. I think it's just 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.760 maybe a new reindeer, new reindeer that no one knows about. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:40.800 So here we go. This could be fun. We could 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.720 add a little bit of detail of these, so maybe Sprinter. 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.840 It's almost like an Elf type story where there's sort 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.960 of a fish out of water kind of situation where 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.400 Sprinter is the reindeer that was for the time for 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.200 good because Sprinter like took off and did his own thing, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.120 and now sprinters back and wants a piece of the action. Okay, 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.320 not bad, something like that. Sure, I don't know. Just 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.800 spitball in here, chuck it all right. It's like Rudolph 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.120 the Red Nose Reindeer meets uh boondock Saints. I love that. Yes, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.800 maybe Sprinter two. He's got a hard edge to him, 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.160 and the other reindeers kind of don't like his vibe 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.160 because he's a little aggressive. He smokes a lot, you know. Yeah, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.800 he harasses the female reindeer, he really does. He's a 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.560 real jerk. He's a real jerk. He's almost like a 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.000 Gordon Gecko type figure. Maybe that's it. He went off 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.040 and made his fortune on Wall Street, uh, and then 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.760 came back because maybe he went bust, but he doesn't. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.920 But he's not telling anybody that that's what it is. 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:36.800 He lost everything because he was a jerk and he 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.880 had a real coke problem. But he comes back and 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.400 he still got that one nice suit. He's got that 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.520 one nice suit, and he tries to make everyone think 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.559 that he's coming back you know, for his own for like, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.760 you know, to to be part of the family. But 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.760 he's actually broke and he's got and now he's trying 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.520 to hustle his way into being one of the replace Rudolph. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.040 Perhaps I don't know. Yeah, And Vixen finds him out 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.560 and he's like, you can't tell anybody like I need this. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:05.160 well this is good. All right. Next let me see here. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.800 I wanna the Seth Seth McFarland. Sean McFarland, top fan, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.640 forget the naught of your nice list for this Killer 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.720 Santa that was Live or Die. It's more of a tagline. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:25.199 But that's good. It's like Saw meets Santa Claus. That's good. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.199 This is good. This is good stuff. Guys. David Gooch, 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.400 the Gooch, one of our oldest friends, says, okay, but 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.000 I got five words for you. Gritty Santa Claus origin story, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.880 Santa Claus meets Joker. That's pretty good. What what what 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.600 would it be? Do you think? Mm hmm would it 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.480 be well, you'd have to make the North Pole sort 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.320 of a hard scrabble, which it would be. Let's be honest. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:49.960 You know you don't live in the North Pole in 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.040 the lap of luxury, right, you know you're it's it's 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.040 a survival game. Yeah, yeah, people are. There's only so 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.319 much wood and coal to go around exactly. So the cartel, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.199 the coal cartel, cole cartels get involved. That's when that's 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.760 when it gets crazy. Yeah. I like it in Santa. 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.760 And also what happens is, you know with the uh, 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.360 you only get so much sunlight, so everyone starts skill 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:18.600 crazy snow blind snow blind, snow Blind, the Santa Claus story, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.120 the story of Chris Kringle, and that's spelled with Kay's right, Yeah, 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.240 Deutsche Santa Claus, which is the O G. Right, it's 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:33.439 the O G. Yeah. Uh. Let me see here. J 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.400 Fraser creepy Santa movie. He sees you when you're sleeping, 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:42.440 but other times too. I love that. Not No more 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.080 needs to be said about that. Not bad. Patrick Gorman, 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.200 one of our oldest friends, says, Santa's daughter has to 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.520 take over Christmas because her brother, who was supposed to 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.360 take over the family business, is missing. She learns the 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.480 darker side of Christmas by trying to find out trying 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.640 to find her rebellious brother. This is like all the 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.400 movies we've been talking about. Come mind, Yeah, why is 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.680 everyone going dark? There's a mystery here though, so I 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:10.280 love the mystery element to it. And yeah, I'm I'm 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.959 my imaginations running wild here, Chuck, Okay, let's keep going 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.840 with this. This is good. Mike interest, and I think 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.439 this first time we've heard from Mike Welcome. A screenwriter 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:23.000 crowd sources ideas for a movie through his podcast Influence 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.760 until the Spirit of Christmas changes his way. That's what 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.560 we're doing right now. That's what we're doing right now. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.000 That's a good one. That's very meta. I like that. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.600 Let me see this is not bad, har Old. Friend 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.360 Melinda Beclau says, careful with that ax, because this year 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:44.640 Christmas trees are fighting back sentient evil Christmas trees. That's 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.320 pretty good. Like the trees from The Wizard of Oz 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.600 that's always scared the shift out of me as a kid. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:55.040 Imagine them like rooting out of the ground and then 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.400 their big root feet coming at you. There's a new 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.559 Hulu show coming up about a creepy tree. Yeah, keep going, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.640 I'll find it. Let me see here. Some of these 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.280 are taglines, but that's okay, Brian Long, The tradition of 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.840 Christmas is dying. A group of hip city dwellers rediscover 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.599 the magic of having a winter celebration. The burden of 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.120 shopping has gone, and a new level of life experiences 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:24.480 is discovered that includes their families that they're trying to escape. Okay, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:32.760 not bad. Into the Dark uncovers the horrors of the 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.719 IDEs of March in Creepy Treehouse All this is the 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.040 same one I saw an ad like on Instagram where 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.240 it was literally a creepy tree kind of lurking over 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.800 a little girl. Interesting. I just it just struck me 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.200 as like that hasn't been done. We did talk about 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.480 the tree in Evil Dad, which did not age well, 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.679 do not. Let's do a couple of more of these. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.040 Tony Klutwik says, due to climate change, Santa has to 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.520 move to a colder place, so he relocates to the 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:06.680 heart of a ruthless politician. With Santa in his heart, 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.559 the politician slowly becomes a better person and changes his 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:15.360 evil ways. That's pretty good. Interesting. What are the steaks though, Like, 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.559 does he have to kind of like, you know, is 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.839 he's wrestling with this this possession at first, like he's 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.560 not fully Probably he probably wakes up with heartburn. Yeah, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.280 that's how you comically show it. And then he finds 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.640 himself doing nice things and it's like, what the fun 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.920 is going on? Almost like a liar liar situation exactly. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.920 It's kind of like this liar liar meets innerspace meets 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:42.319 the Santa Claus meets Interstellar. No, all right, let's do 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.600 one more. There's a lot of horror things that Santa 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.840 killing people. I don't like that. Everyone can we spoil 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.560 Silent Night, Deadly Night real quick. Was it a Santa 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.720 character that was doing it? Was he dressed up as Santa? 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.319 I don't know he saw it though I thought no, no, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.079 I saw black black Christmas. Was there a Santa figure 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.079 in that one? It was just Christmas, just Christmas time 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.440 in a sorority house. I don't know about Silent Night, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.120 Deadly Night. I feel like there was a Santa esque 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.560 killer dressed up as Santa and that one. All right, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.360 we're gonna finish up with let me see here, Lisa Romana, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.120 one of our oldest friends. In the year twenty two 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.440 twenty the newly Christmas established Mars Human Colony is having 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.160 its first Christmas. Not bad so far, and an unforeseen 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.640 twist to the usual preparations. An unusual red spacecraft lands 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:36.200 led by twelve very strange looking creatures. I love it, Lisa, 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.960 I like it too, fantastic. Somebody just occurred to me, Um, 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:44.520 there aren't a whole lot of really big budget Christmas movies. 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:49.880 I think they're sort of considered like throw away seasonal fair. Yeah, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.920 like maybe we'll put fifteen million into this and then 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.960 maybe it'll, like, you know, make a little bit of 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.960 money over the holidays. Maybe at the very best it'll 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.240 become like an ELF cult classic that has loved It 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.440 was like two million bucks and continues to which is rare. 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.680 Though for Christmas movies, they're usually a flash in the 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.480 pan and they're gone, right, it's rare to have a 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.200 smash hit. I think those Santa Claus movies were smashed it, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.040 and they were there was a sequel, so that's, you know, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.720 a good sign, Like there's one that just came out 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.400 that I've already. It's already. I think it's just called 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.960 Last Christmas, which is a reference to I think the 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.000 Wham song of the same name, gave you my very 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.480 next day, you gave it away, gave it away. But 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.760 it has a denarious targ Arian in it from a 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.560 Game of Thrones, and it it appeared to have fizzled. Yeah, 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.560 I think you might be right there. Will Ferrell was 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.480 offered about thirty million bucks to do an Elf sequel 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.440 and he said no because like he just wanted to 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.240 let it ride. I think he was like, yeah, I 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.160 think he just said, let's just not let's just not 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.800 do that. Yeah, I like I got all the respect 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.240 in the world for that job. I do too. I 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.080 think Jon Vava wanted to do it even he went, man, sorry, 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.560 I'm not doing it. No, it's really kind of a 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.560 perfect little little Christmas. Let it be what it is. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.320 Let it be what it is. All right, We're gonna 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.480 finish up and all with what's the most overrated Christmas movie? 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.040 And why? I know your answer is elf, I can't. 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.160 I couldn't even do you have one? I don't know, 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.160 Like I know you don't like Christmas films in general, 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.160 so you probably find most of them overrated. I don't know, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.640 like I don't. There's so few of them that I 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.280 even cross my radar. Like Christmas Story I find to 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.560 be fun. Um. It sure seems like they hold it 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.760 in really high esteem over there at TBS because they 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.400 had play it on a loop every year. Um. And 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.120 that's really the only way I've seen it. I think 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.680 I've said this before on the show. I've never seen 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.960 it in one sitting, from beginning to end. I've just 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.480 seen it piecemeal, like in a weird kind of jigsaw 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.720 puzzle order. You know you're not into Christmas movies? Are 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:55.120 you into Christmas? I like Christmas, but are you into Christmas? Okay, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.200 I like Christma. I'm just trying to get you know. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.000 I enjoy Christmas here, I enjoy Christmas. Just wondering if 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.680 there was any any deep feelings that where you're like, 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.760 you know, I really don't love it. I don't not 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.359 love it. I especially love it with the kids and stuff. No, 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.200 and then you're making me question my my, my. No, 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.280 I'm not not trying to do that. I just want 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:18.080 to make sure everyone knows everything about you, all of 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.520 everything in my deepest, darkest Christmas secrets. Grant what he says. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.440 Polar Express digital Animation's best example of uh, why not 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.560 to lean too hard into the realm of realistic characters 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.280 creepy and off putting. I didn't see it speaking of that, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.800 if you watched The Irishman, yeah, uh not yet. It's 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.040 very good, but there's a couple of moments where you're 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.080 too weird with a very early on and then and 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.359 then you forget about it or they start being much 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:44.960 more subtle about it. But when the characters are like 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.160 meant to be super young, it looks like a video 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.040 game cut scene. It's a little weird, and it's like 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.800 a Scorsese directed video game cut scene. It's very good though. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.600 It's very very good film, and and y'all movie crushers 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:58.399 call me on that if you think it was a 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.320 non issue. Obviously didn't affect my enjoyment of the overall picture. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:07.440 Case he's seen it four times. Yeah, so that's like 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:12.639 fourteen hours of watching that. I don't fully understand. I 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.080 thought it was good, but I thought it was just 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.720 very Scorsese like, because he's kind of got a formula 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:19.719 guy's got, and that's why I thought it was kind 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.840 of like bullshit when he's like calling out the Marvel 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.959 movies for not being cinema when they take a lot 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.040 of cues from his formula. Guardians of the Galaxy with 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.679 all the seventies music and the big you know, um 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.200 you know scenes and montages using all of like seventies music, 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.920 totally a nod Discorssy. I don't understand where he's coming 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.320 from when he's saying that, when he himself has made 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.800 the same kind of gangster picture over and over and 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.440 over again. They're all great, but I just think it's 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.280 a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black. Alright, 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:55.159 hot take contake everybody, uh. Nick Kelly says it's a 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.800 wonderful life. It's only popular because of a copyright issue 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.959 that granted its exposure. Didn't you point that out recently? 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.480 I learned that recently. It's maybe, but what the deal 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.760 was was like it got buried and then it didn't 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.200 get good reviews. At the time, it wasn't a success, 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.040 and then it got I think it like it's copyright 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.040 had expired or it was in the public domain, and 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:20.440 so a television station and started playing it every year 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.639 for Christmas, and it became this because it's not even 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.480 a Christmas set story. I think there's Christmas in it, 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.280 isn't there. I don't know. This guy said it's not 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.040 even a Christmas movie, but that's that's basically He's absolutely right. 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.320 There is a like the copyright it entered into the 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.440 public domain, I think, and then uh TV station was 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.240 able to play it without paying for it, and it 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.520 and it became kind of this like new cult kind 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.880 of thing. Mike Burdette says, this thread breaks my heart. 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.840 Ha ha ha. It's definitely the Santa clause. Tim Allen 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.960 is not and has never been funny. It's a miracle 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:59.680 he didn't ruin Galaxy Quest well, Mike, I'm kind of 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.440 with you. I never thought Tim Allen was very funny, 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:09.919 but that's my cold heart, Lisa. To share a one 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.520 of our old friends is love. Actually it's boring and 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.680 neither romantic nor heartwarming. Okay, people as your love it 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.240 them holding up those cards. They hold up those cards. 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:20.879 That's all I know about. I don't know anything, but 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.119 there's a thing about holding up cards with things written 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.520 on them. That's it. Yeah. That guy that plays the 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.640 dude in The Walking Dead is in it. Um who 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.919 plays Rick in the Walking the Sheriff, Yeah, Lucas something. Anyway, 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.800 he's good. He's good. He would de Porchfest one year. 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.600 He's around all over town. Let me see here, A 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.440 bunch of people are saying it's a wonderful life. Ah. 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.720 Rachel mccafee says, truly overrated is and everyone talks about 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:51.160 them being so good and musties, but they're actually boring 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:57.920 and underwhelming. Wonderful life and White Christmas. I haven't seen 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.040 White Christmas. Which one is that I haven't seen a 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.479 lot of these old school ones. Yeah, what about Miracle 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.120 On I haven't seen that either. Yeah, that one involves 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.240 like the Santa Claus you don't think is real, but 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.000 then spoiler alerties he's real. I have no I think 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:13.600 that's the deal. They remade that one a couple of 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.119 times too, I believe. Kayla mh one of our oldest friends, 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.359 says a Christmas Story, I don't like a single character 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.080 in the whole movie, and I don't understand why people 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:26.359 love it. You know you like what you like. Everyone 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.840 another vote. Maria Basquez A Christmas Story. I hate that 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:34.560 god damn movie so much. Makes me want to rip 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.639 my hair out when they play it for twenty four hours. Wow, 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.359 all right. Patrick Gorman, one of our old friends, is 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.639 Nightmare before Christmas. No, that's a good one. That's one. 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.359 That's that's one that I I love. I love it. 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.560 He says. This is his crit the hot topicization of 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.560 that movie took it further into the zeitgeists and ever 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.880 deserved on its own merits. I don't think that's true. 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.360 I don't like the hot topic ization of it, don't 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:04.640 get me wrong, but it's a feat of animation, uh genius. 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.920 I mean just the fact that they chose to do 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.520 a movie that way and sort of set the tone 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.720 for all of the cool like like a Studios and 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.240 you know, Henry Selleck is the animator that did all that, 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.880 you know, based on Tim Burton's vision. And the music 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.520 is great. It's a fun movie. It's a romp. I've 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:22.760 never seen it, what are you kidding me? It's great watch. 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.000 There are a lot of Christmas movies I haven't seen 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:26.440 now that I think of it. It's beautiful too, because 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.480
