WEBVTT - Mini Crush #22 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:30.800 Hey, everybody, welcome to movie Crush Mini Crush a dish, right, No, 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:36.560 I mean it seems that way, but you know, appearances 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.800 can be deceiving. Oh does that mean that you're secretly 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.480 some famous actor I'm about to interview, but his favorite movie. 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:48.280 I'm a fantastic impersonator. I'm impersonating myself doing a bad 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.880 impersonation of an actor you've never heard of. That sounds 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:56.120 a lot like me. Well, it's eight what thirty? So 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.040 you're clearly just trying to confuse me. I did a 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.560 weird thing too. I accidentally got up to early and 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.240 dropped my kid off at camp too early. And then 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.640 we're like, well, ship, we gotta go do something now, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.319 and so we went to the gas station and just 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.840 kind of hung out until you know, a little father 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.320 daughter bonding in the morning start the day off? So 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.920 what what kind of campusing? Cheer cheerleading camp? But all 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.560 I do is swim, So I don't quite understand. Why 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.560 don't cheerleading and like synchronized swimming? I got it's her 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.800 mom deals with all that stuff. I didn't you pick 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.600 her up? Alright, Well that's interesting, so no, you know 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.520 my day. I appreciate you accommodating me for us. You 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.920 sounds like you have a rager. Well, first of all, 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.920 we need to get ahead of the game on these crushes. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:42.480 I feel like every two weeks were scrambling. It's true. Um, 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.080 but yeah, we realized that we didn't have a mini 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.160 for next week, and I am, uh, well, I'm going 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.120 to Denver in a couple of hours. Nice to perform 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:55.000 to live shows tonight and tomorrow night. And so we 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.800 record these too many crushes and then I speed to 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.640 the airport, jump on a plane. Don't speed though, Chuck, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.600 I drive the limit. I fly to Denver and then 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.200 uh maybe a little downtime at the hotel where I 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.160 can prep and then write some comedy out and then 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.680 go to the show. You write these things out? Uh no, 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.520 just make a little note jokes, bullets, joke notes for 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.480 the for the opening fifteen minutes, I just tell jokes. Um. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.280 I me and uh my friend and coworker Ben Boland 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.920 are doing our first ever live show for our show 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:35.680 Ridiculous History the Trocadero Theater in Philly. I'm really concerned. 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.080 It's a very large room. I'm not sure if our 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.040 show is popular enough to accommodate it, but it'll feel good. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.840 I'm sure they'll cordon off like like eight, like a 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.040 square of seats, you know, for all eight people to 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.600 sit there. But we're talking about our warm up material. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.480 We're kind of trying to not make it too written. Yeah, 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.720 for sure, we're working on it, but we're excited. Yeah. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.600 Here's here's what I do. Typically is the day of 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.400 the show. I will scribble out, um, it's six or 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.320 seven ideas for funny jokes, and then tell them on 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.840 stage in a very haphazard way, and then throw that 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.200 note into the crowd. That's about what oh you oh? 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.680 The physically throw the note? Well, I handed to somebody 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.320 like almost like a rock star throwing a guitar pick. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.920 That's pretty cool, man. Alright. Uh, you know, the Trocadero 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.440 was kind of a legendary rock club. I've heard about it. Yeah, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.720 it was. I remember seeing someone sent around on Facebook 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.760 one time a picture of a Trocadero like monthly calendar 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.880 from the early nineties, the one with like Queen and 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.880 like Sebadoh and like all these seminal It was just 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.360 who's who loaded pavement? Queen Sebado's cool. I do remember 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.560 that it was literally like every other night, just a 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.000 who's who of nineties awesome rock man. That was the 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.160 Trocadero Feast. Yeah, yeah, I think you're right. That's okay, cool, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.520 I'm part of yeah, slacker rock history. That's right, you 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.960 were anyway, all right, So nol let's get going here. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.960 We got a new segment this week called almost Famous. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.720 All right. This is where I cover and of course 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.320 some of these people are still famous, of course, but 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.040 this is where I cover roles that famous, uh, actors 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.960 and actresses turned down that went on to be super 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.919 big movies. And sometimes the actors languished in obscurity. Sometimes 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.440 sometimes they did, okay anyway, but uh, we'll do a 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.640 couple of these over the next couple of months. All right. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.680 So first, of course, very famously Indiana Jones you know, 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.160 was almost played by Tom Selleck. Yeah, I don't know 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.960 how I feel about that. Well, that's one of those 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.839 things where so iconic at this point you just can't 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.800 even imagine, you can't even imagine. No, he actually literally 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.520 had to choose between Raiders of the Lost Arc and 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.040 Magnet p I, and um chose Magnum p I. He 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:49.720 would have had the Stash as Indiana. I know, because 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.760 Selik without the statue is weird looking. It's not even 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:57.799 Sellek anymore. It's nothing else. John Travolta was Robert Zemeckis' 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.560 first choice to play for est Gump absurd. What are 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.599 you thinking? Zamaka's Yeah, come on, well, I could have 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.159 said about a lot of things. That's Robert Zamaica's decides 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:11.840 these days. Uh. Wolverine, now this one. Doug ray Scott 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.160 was cast as Wolverine and was like, I don't know 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.720 who that is, Um, look at my pe might recognize him. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.200 He's uh was he British? Maybe Scottish? Um? He was 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.600 ready to shoot like cast and the shoot was approaching, 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:31.000 and I believe he had some last minute scheduling conflicts 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.760 with Mission Impossible too, and he was like, I don't 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.880 know about this whole comic book X Men thing. I'm 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.479 gonna go with Mission Impossible to seven movies later. I 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:47.240 think Wolverine and Hugh Jackman are like peanut butter and jelly. Yeah, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.280 they're intertwined forever in all time, and you have to 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:51.880 look up to do g Ray Scott and I can't 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.640 even find him. I can't even not spell his name. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.240 He's not coming up, clearly not not a huge thing. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:03.160 It's Doug Ray. Basically, Julia Robert uh went on to big, 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.520 big stardom after Pretty Woman, but Darryl Hannah originally was 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.039 going to play that role, and she turned it down 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.880 because she didn't want to be uh play a call girl, 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.880 a sex worker. She thought that that was demeaning to women. Um. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.000 And then interestingly, later on and dancing at the Blue Iguana, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.599 she would go on to play a striper. So maybe 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.720 that's an empowering yeah for her to her like I 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:30.080 can see that Dirty Harry. Do you ever see any 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.640 of those movies? No, that's a little above your come 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.720 on really well no, I mean it's you're you're kind 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.920 of young for the Dirty Harry series. I thought you 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:41.640 met like it was like beneath me or something. No, no, no, no, no, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.640 like it wasn't in your wheelhouse, Like I grew up 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.919 on the tail end of Dirty Harry, where like everyone 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.880 a bunch of father was obsessed with it. Are there 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.640 a lot of Dirty harryes? I mean they were maybe four, 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.880 maybe five. They all have subtitles or is it like 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.360 Dirty Harry one through four? Well, I believe was called 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.920 there was one called Dirty Harry. Uh, now they're all 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.919 different title. I like that like um, but obviously Clintics 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.800 would own that role. Um. Frank Sinatra was actually Dirty 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:17.920 Harry until he broke his wrist during filming. Interesting, so 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.640 he was gonna be and was Dirty Harry. That's cool, Frank, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.480 how about that. I don't think I just don't think 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:24.760 of him as an actor. I know, I know he's 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.720 in some big Hollywood pictures, but I don't think of 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.120 him that way. Yeah. I mean, obviously it's singing is 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.440 what comes to mind first, but he was pretty good actor. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.960 Check out from Here to Eternity. Okay, that's a good wreck. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:49.000 I'll do it all right here. Uh Apocalypse Now legendary 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.440 war film that was actually just covered on Friendly Fire 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:58.320 the podcast with our buddies Adam Pranica, John Roderick, and 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.200 Ben Harrison. Really good movie show. I'm really listening to 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.560 a lot of movie podcasts now by the way, like 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.960 Paul Paul Shears Unspooled. I'm listening to that. Oh I 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.760 love him, so my any I'd like to hear that one. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:09.960 I'd like to listen to that. Yeah, I'm kind of 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.280 getting into this where they talk about good movies instead 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.800 of bad movies. That's right. Uh, so Apocalypse now, Francis 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:23.520 Ford Coppola. Um actually shot a lot of this movie 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.200 with Harvey Kitel in the role that Martin Sheen would 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.440 go on to, uh to take. So this is one 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:34.160 where he was recast well into shooting. Um, like Eric 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.800 Stolts and back to the Future. When you see that 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.120 Eric Stolts Back to the Future footage is Martin McFly. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.040 It's weird, Martin. I've never been able to focus. Yeah, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.520 you can just google that up man watch it dominated 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.480 scenes with Eric Stolt's playing Marty and it's just like 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.760 bizarro world. That is strange, so strange. So, yeah, Harvey 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.200 Kitel in the role that Martin Sheen would take and 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.760 go on to great acclaim even though he was already 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.400 into published actor. A few more here, Shawshank Redemption. Um. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.680 You cannot think of anyone else as Andy DeFraine but 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.960 Tim Robbins, but Kevin Costner actually had that role in 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.920 the bag and gave it up to start in what 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:19.320 movie is it? Robin hood h worse water World, water World. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.240 He could have been, uh, he could have been in 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.680 the Shawn Shank Redemption instead of water World. Good film, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.240 see that, you know most of these, all of these, 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:35.640 I'm feeling good about the results. Yeah, yeah, No one's 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.640 going like by John Travelt. Sure would have been a 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.480 good Forest cump He would have been a weird Forrest. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.679 It totally would have been weird and creepy probably, uh, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.120 because Forrest Coump with hair plugs is just Forrest cump Um. 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:54.600 One week into the film Aliens, the actor James Reemar 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.280 bailed on the project because he had creative differences with 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.880 Jim Cameron. So Michael Bean came in and played the 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.400 part of Dwyne Hicks and James Remar great character actor 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.760 for sure, but missed out on being in one of 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.280 the great all time sci fi I've actually never heard 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.000 of anyone having a problem with James Cameron. That's absurd. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.960 He just seems like a really easy going, straightforward what 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.400 you see is what you get kind of dude. What 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.480 she sees what you get kind of dick. Uh. Samantha 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.480 Morton Finally, this one is interesting because she had done 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:33.520 the voiceover for the entire film of her The Great 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:38.160 Great Spike Jones movie, and it was finished and in 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.440 post production. In the edit, Spike Jones was like, the 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.120 voice isn't quite right, and he got Scarlett Johansson in there, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.720 scar Joe to redo the entire voice over. That's interesting 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.840 because I like Samantha Morton a lot and she has 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:56.160 a similarly mellifluous voice. I could see it working with her. Yeah, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:57.800 I would. I'd be curious to hear that. I don't 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.960 know why. Um but you know he's the vision area 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.079 is I'm not gonna doubt Spike Jones. No, no, no, no, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.280 you know who are we? Who are we? Just a 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120 couple of chubby bearded dudes, which we're we're chucking an 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:12.040 old apparently? All right, nol So that was almost famous. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:13.959 Did you like that? I did like it very much. Yes. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:15.839 We got a new one next week too, and I'm 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.840 trying to freshen things up here. It surprise me, all right, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:23.680 all right, moving on to highlight reel today, I'm going 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.559 to cover h great, great director into me a very 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:32.319 underrated director in his career. Mr Jonathan Demi sadly passed 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:37.480 away in April of two thousand seventeen, and um boy, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.840 Demmy was just one of those dudes. To me that 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.160 uh never. I mean, he got his due here and there, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.480 but always was sort of under the radar to me 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.360 for best of lists. You don't think Maybe that's because 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.040 his catalog is kind of all over the place. It's 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.600 hard to pin him down. Well, I think that's why. 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.520 I probably Yeah, I think you're right. That probably has 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.800 something to do with it. One of the greatest concert 0:11:56.840 --> 0:12:00.360 movies of all time. Stop making Sense, Ye did, and 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.880 that just holds up in so many ways. And obviously 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.560 Signs of the Lands, but they remember the movie more 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.360 than they do him and Jonnie Foster and obviously Anthony Hopkins, 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.160 but people don't talk about that being Jonathan Demi's a movie. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.280 I know he's He's and you know what, that's probably 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.840 the mark of a brilliant director. He's not trying to 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.480 call attention to himself with signature moves with the camera. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.160 Jonathan Demi's Silence of the Lambs at Jonathan Demi film 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.760 Jonathan Demi Joint. Uh no, he he He disappears as 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:35.040 director um by doing everything just pinpoint accurate and perfect. 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.319 So yeah, you're right. He he straddled. He's one of 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.880 the few directors and I admire all the directors that 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.400 do this, that do documentaries and films throughout their entire 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.920 career and just pushes the envelope with different stuff. I mean, dude, 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:54.480 he did three Neil Young concert documentaries. I didn't know that, Like, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.560 how great is that? I had no idea. One wasn't 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.840 good enough to wasn't good enough, and of course, like 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.280 you said, stopped making sense. One of the best of 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:05.680 all time, so good. Started his career, like many many 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:10.440 directors working for Roger Corman, the exploitation director began as 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.319 a writer and producer, then directed a few of those 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.640 Roger Corman exploitation films, which was like film school basically 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.240 for when I hear a lot of guys are you know, 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.240 ultimately became luminaries. Started off in that camp kind of 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.360 oh for sure. Uh. And then his very first sort 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.440 of non exploitation film was a movie called Melvine and Howard, 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.760 which wasn't a big big hit, but uh scored well 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.800 with the critics and a very interesting start to his career. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.320 He never made the same movie twice. He went on 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:44.600 to make the uh I think World War two movie, um, well, 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.560 world War two kind of comedy, uh romance, Swing Shift, 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:55.720 after that, uh, and then immediately went to Stop Making Sense, 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.920 which he won the National Society Film Critics Award for 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.600 Best Documentary. Amazing. It's it's funny. It's kind of funny 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.600 to call that a documentary. I mean it is, I guess, 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.000 but it's like it's a concert. Like there's no there's 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.600 no interviews that concert film documentary. Sure. Yeah. Um the 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.240 action comedy romance of comedy Something Wild with Jeff Daniels 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.160 and Millie Griffith's Move pretty good road movie. Yeah yeah. Uh. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.160 And then again takes a right turn and does the 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.960 film version of the stage production of Spalding Gray Swimming 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.320 to Cambodia. I never heard of this one, um man. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.240 You know Spaulding Gray, I'm aware, but on Late Tangentially 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.680 he's a monologuist, so he did these long hour and 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.680 a half sit at a table monologues and one was 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.000 called Swimming to Cambodia in seven and uh and Demmi 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.040 did the film version of that. Interesting. Yeah. So again 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.760 he's just not you can't pin him down. And I've 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.480 not heard of a lot of these spots. And as 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.920 his cannon, you know, did the New York Mafia comedy 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.280 Married to the Mob, which is the first movie that 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:00.800 the notorious Goodbye Horses from the you know was that 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.760 in that That's that's where that was in that movie 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.720 for the first time, and they used it again the 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.880 iconically in Silence of the Lambs. Interesting, that's q Q Lazarus, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.480 the artist who was a cab driver early I believe 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.000 trans artists back in you know when that wasn't really 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.200 out in the mainstream and that never really did anything else. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.240 But I think that song is just so iconic and 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.800 creepy and and Kate bushy kind of to me. I 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.800 love I love that song. Yeah, I was playing that 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.240 in the house the other day, And of course it 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.480 can only make me think of one thing, which is 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:36.040 Penis stuck the tuck after Silence of the Lambs, which 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.080 one the like I said in My Favorite Murder episode, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.480 one of only three films to win the Big Five 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:46.160 Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actor, and Actress. Also insanely rare 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.240 for anything, even approaching a horror movie to get that 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:53.960 kind of Oscar love, like, yeah, uh, and then let's 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.320 go make Philadelphia the first major film to address the 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.280 AIDS crisis, and to Hanks, one his first Oscar and 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.320 really catapulted Tom Hanks to superstar him. Had no idea 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.320 he directed that. Yeah, obviously super familiar with that movie 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.840 because it gets accolades for the things you just said, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.920 but not tied to his name. That's just so interesting 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.320 to me. This is fascinating. Uh. And then he winds 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.040 up his career with a few movies that, um, well, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.960 actually I did see Tony Morrison's Beloved, Um, great great movie. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.600 Did not see the Truth about Charlie or uh Manchurian 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.880 Candidate remake, did not see the one of those, So 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.640 those are on my list. Uh. And then in two 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.080 thousand seven does another documentary, the great great documentary Man 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.640 from Planes, about former President Jimmy Carter. Really really good duck. 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.520 And then I started poking around. He directed some TV, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.280 did a couple of episodes of The Killing, which was 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.440 a really really good TV show. He did two episodes 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.480 of one of my favorite all time shows, Enlightened from 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.000 Mike White and Laura Dern really really great movie and 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.800 I'm sorry TV show. And then at the end of 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:03.080 his career he really put himself on the map again 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.879 with um sort of an indie flavored hit with Rachel 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.960 getting married that's a good one, yeah, Jonathan Demi, isn't 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:15.320 that the one there's somebody famous that plays music in that? 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.520 Is it? Is it in Jonathan Richmond? No, it's Robin Hitchcock. 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:22.359 Robin Hitchcock is like playing at the wedding. Yeah, and 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.440 one scene and then then the guy from TV on 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.280 the radio is in it too. Ten day. He was good. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.399 He's great. He's never done anything else. It's such interesting 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.240 casting and it was. That's a good one. That's a 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.280 real tea. Yeah. And he cast musicians in his movies 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.240 a lot. He He clearly is a music was a 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.840 music guy, and um, that's why he did so many 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:40.920 music documentaries and stuff. Yeah. Robin Hitchcock is like this 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.080 troubadour kind of guy at the wedding reception walking around 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.359 playing guitar. Yeah, that's great. Alright, so my hat is 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.639 off to you, Mr Jonathan Demi. Rest in peace, sir, 0:17:50.480 --> 0:18:01.880 h You're missed for sure. Um alright, Noel, We're gonna 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.159 finish up with stream this and comic Card. Uh. You 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.919 know what I've been watching lately on Netflix. I've been 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.280 watching The Joy Painting with Bob Ross. I watch it 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.520 all the time. I put it on before I go 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.680 to bed. Yeah, it's just that just chills me out. Man, 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:20.520 It's like a televisual joint. Yeah, it absolutely is. And uh, 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.520 like you, I would imagine, I'm not watching this ironically 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.399 in any way. Oh no, I love it. No, No, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.639 it's great. He's he's he's a delight, Like he's just 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:32.879 this like pure Mr. Rogers level goodness of a human specimen, 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.600 you know what I mean. Yeah, So I grew up 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.760 watching this stuff in the eighties. It ran from eight 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.520 three to ninety four, and I was literally in high 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.119 school watching this show. And there's something about it that 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.040 I mean, as an adult, I listened to his messaging, 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.800 which is really interesting because it kind of escaped me 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.639 some as a teenager. But just the act of putting 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.359 these paintings together. If you haven't seen the show, he 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.119 paints these landscapes. Uh, it's called a wet on wet 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.879 oil technique, which base stically, you just keep adding paint 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.680 on top of wet paint. You don't do a more 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.639 traditional technique where you paint something, let it dry, then 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.760 go back and paint. So it allows him to paint 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.800 painting in thirty minutes, like that's not a camera trick. 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:15.879 And he uses like the palette knife a lot to 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.560 make little little swipes, little mountains and happy little trees 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.960 and all that sifty little cloud safty little trees. There's 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.240 a documentary about him. I believe that's supposed to be good. 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.200 I think so. I think it's I'm pretty sure because 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:29.679 I was just thinking that someone needs to do a 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.399 good one. I don't know if I don't know if 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.120 anyone's really tackling the right way. He's a former military guy, 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.480 and he said in the military he at times had 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.400 positions where he had to be what he called tough 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.400 and mean, and uh decided that when he leads the military, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.400 he would never raise his voice again. And he did 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.800 not how about that. Yeah, and that's not his real hair. 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.119 He had straight hair. He had the blowout perm didn't 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.320 really like it, but that became attached to his persona 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.320 and was not able to ever have another here and 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.000 now we have Bob ross Chia pets. To know what 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.520 you think, I'm serious. You know that there's an element 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:07.560 of the show that I always forgot about. He's like, 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.160 he's just like he's always has these little animal friends. Yeah, 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.879 he will rehab, squirrels and tunes and baby deer. One 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.000 of them was named Pepod and he had him in 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.920 his pocket and he's like, look at this little devil. 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.680 He always calls him a little devil. Man, got you, 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.520 got you right there? Uh, just a good soul, a 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.760 good man. It wasn't one of these things where behind 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:32.240 the scenes he was a monster. Apparently he did, um 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.560 did have the creative control down on his show, but 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.000 he wasn't. He was lovely to work with from what 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.560 everyone said. There's one episode I watched the other day 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.080 where he intros the show and then he intros his 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:48.120 son and his son does the painting for the whole show. Yeah, 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:50.800 his son, uh kind of did the same stuff for 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:52.560 a little while, carried the mental I think there's a 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.680 Bob Ross school of painting. Yeah, wet on wet probably 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.200 that sounds anyway. I been watching it and it's really 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.960 um nostalgist kicking in for me because I watched it 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.400 in high school, like I said, but just the messaging 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.719 as an adult to hear him, he's he's part uh 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:16.439 part therapist as well, kind of guru. Yeah, like the 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.360 things he's he's always teaching less life lessons through his painting, 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.679 and it's it's not lost on me now as an adult. 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:25.560 So is like anything, if you want to do anything, 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.320 you know, you just just try it. You don't just 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.840 just all you gotta do is just get that they 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.240 low blue and and whatever. What are the names is? 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:38.400 He's got some really like iconic colors Van Dyke, brown, brown, 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:40.760 and he always flashes them across the screen. At the 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.000 very beginning of the episode, Oh, that's so good. It's 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.280 very good. We're gonna finish up with comic card Noel 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.840 and read out five questions is from Ryan Zach. What 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.560 are your feelings I'm breaking the fourth wall? Uh? And 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.920 what film do you think has used it most cleverly? Well, 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:56.920 if you don't know what that means, people, that means 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.719 when the actor directly addresses the camera. It is a 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.440 risk forture and it's hard to pull off, don't you think. Yeah, 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:10.040 it certainly takes a deft hand to make it work. Yeah. 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.080 So the first one that comes to mind for me 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:16.359 is is Ferris Spoolers Stay Off, very classic film that 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.360 Matthew Broderick and John Hughes. They employed it perfectly. It's 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:23.000 almost it's funny too. Because it's like you can see 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.920 it working more in a comedy. Yeah right, yeah, so 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.440 for certainly hard to do in a hard drama unless 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.040 it's like really stylistic, like Oliver Stone has done it before. 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:35.800 Like I remember Kevin Costner and JFK looked right at 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:38.399
