Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: welcome to Mini Crush Take two. Screw you, Chuck? Oh? No,
Speaker 1: is that this week's tables have turned? Now I'm screwed.
Speaker 1: I'm the pooch. You are the poods. You are always
Speaker 1: the pooch, Chuck Old. Do you like foreign films, foreign films,
Speaker 1: foreign language films, international films? No, that's not true. Yeah
Speaker 1: I do. I do very much. Yeah, okay, because we
Speaker 1: don't talk enough about foreign films on this show. And
Speaker 1: I asked the movie crushers what their favorite foreign holm was.
Speaker 1: We've got three forty two replies, So I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: this one up everyone, because this will serve as a
Speaker 1: great reference point if you're not into foreign films, or
Speaker 1: if you are, to go back and see what people
Speaker 1: are watching. James Trail says, Wings of Desire. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen that one? I love it? Great movie? That
Speaker 1: is Vim Venders. Yeah yeah, really good. Oldest of friends.
Speaker 1: Caroline Gaston, one of my favorite crushers, says, are we
Speaker 1: only counting foreign language or simply movies from another country? Well?
Speaker 1: I generally think of foreign films as foreign language. Would
Speaker 1: you agree? Nold. That's the thing is are we talking
Speaker 1: about the debate now in the in the Academy. I mean,
Speaker 1: if a movie is made in Canada, it's not a
Speaker 1: foreign film, right, But that's the point it was. Karen
Speaker 1: did that speech because he won the Oscar for Roma,
Speaker 1: and he made a joke about how I grew up
Speaker 1: watching foreign language films like Jaws and godfa there and well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of our international friends will name American
Speaker 1: films because those are foreign films. That's exactly exactly true.
Speaker 1: But my it just he's pointing out that it's all
Speaker 1: about perspective, I guess. And so I think they've renamed
Speaker 1: the category best International Film instead of Best Foreign Language Film.
Speaker 1: They have they have that that was in on NPR
Speaker 1: this very morning, look at you the scoop. So Caroline says, um,
Speaker 1: she says for non English Kimi no nahwah. I don't
Speaker 1: know that movie, say um, Kimi no nah wah. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a movie. I thought that was the person's name.
Speaker 1: Kimi no no wah. Um let me look it up,
Speaker 1: real cook, She says, no, your name, it must be
Speaker 1: the translation. Yeah, it's it's a it's an anime film.

Speaker 1: I think I remember liking Oh, actually, which one did
Speaker 1: I like the most? Read? I think I liked Read

Speaker 1: those early days when I was going to the Angelica
Speaker 1: to see those movies. And is that Juliet Bnosh? Uh No,
Speaker 1: I think, well, the one she's not in any of them. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: she may be in one of them. I was thinking
Speaker 1: of of from before Sunrise. What's her name? One of
Speaker 1: my favorites. That's Julie Delpi. Yeah, Julie Delpy was in
Speaker 1: one of those. I'm pretty sure Juliette Banosh It was
Speaker 1: in at least one of them. It's been a while,
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Don't do that, all right, I
Speaker 1: screw you, Oh gosh, chuck, Jimmy Kkendal one of our
Speaker 1: old princes. Emily No beautiful film one of my favorite sounds.

Speaker 1: c R a z y from Quebec. C R a
Speaker 1: z y crazy. But it's it's spelled. It's got little dashes,
Speaker 1: got little not dashes, but period. Uh huh. So it's
Speaker 1: an acronym. It's a that well maybe that's with the
Speaker 1: periods it would lead you to believe, so I would.
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen Pants Labyrinth. What it's happen. It's good,

Speaker 1: Old Boy and all that. I mean, even before I've
Speaker 1: seen The Man from Nowhere. It's like there's a kid
Speaker 1: in it. It involves him kind of rescuing this kid

Speaker 1: Friends says impossible to answer Curasawa's films will always have
Speaker 1: a special place. Uh. This time of a year in

Speaker 1: forgot about that. And it's got Tom Waits. The bats
Speaker 1: are in the bel Wait, he's in that. He sings

Speaker 1: very good. I have not seen that zomby more than me.
Speaker 1: I think zombie film on a train, Uh, really really cool.
Speaker 1: Zombie on a train. All right. It's a zombie apocalypse
Speaker 1: situation where folks are on a train between stations trying
Speaker 1: to escape, you know, because the clear zone is at
Speaker 1: this other station, and then if they can only get
Speaker 1: there then they'll be okay. And I take it. There
Speaker 1: in a situation where getting off the train is dangerous,
Speaker 1: very dangerous, and zombies are infiltrating the train, people are
Speaker 1: being turned into zombies on the train, sounds awesome. It's
Speaker 1: really good. It reminded me of Snow Piercer a lot.
Speaker 1: And then it was like a kind of a bottle movie.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really really good. Train to busan kick
Speaker 1: ass movie. I'm gonna write that down on my list,

Speaker 1: seen it. It's got a really kookie soundtrack that uses
Speaker 1: a lot of like vacuum cleaner noises and like the
Speaker 1: sound of bicycle wheels. It's very vaudeville French kind of
Speaker 1: sounding stuff, very little dialogue. It's and then that there's
Speaker 1: the same guy went on and did a movie called
Speaker 1: The Illusionist, but not The Illusionist, the Magician one. This
Speaker 1: is about Jacques Tati and he plays an illusionist character
Speaker 1: and it's also animated, and it's also delightful. Luis Silva

Speaker 1: A friend of mine set New York and said it
Speaker 1: was great. I can't wait. David Mills, Run, Lolo Run.
Speaker 1: I've seen it at least thirty nine times. Wow, David,
Speaker 1: you used to see it one more time and get
Speaker 1: it even forty agreed. It's my advice. You love that movie, right, Chuck,
Speaker 1: that was great, It's fun, fantastic. All right, we'll do
Speaker 1: one more here. Um, Matthew Jones says Maria Full of Grace.
Speaker 1: Do you know that movie? I do not. I have
Speaker 1: heard of it. Boy. There's a lot of good recommendations
Speaker 1: here people. If you want to you want to get
Speaker 1: some foreign film res, go check it out on the page.
Speaker 1: All right, now we're at tagline time. The thing you've
Speaker 1: been waiting for a whole week to talk about. I'm
Speaker 1: ready for really twenty minutes. So tagline everyone, is that
Speaker 1: little short sentence on the movie poster I listed royal
Speaker 1: Tannon bombs. That's one of my favorites. Family isn't a word,
Speaker 1: It's a sentence. Another one of my old favorite knol
Speaker 1: is from Alien, the original Alien. You remember that one?
Speaker 1: Is it? Like in space? No one can hear you scream?
Speaker 1: That's it, man, I mean that was that egg and
Speaker 1: that tagline on the poster so iconic. That's a tagline
Speaker 1: that has really stuck around in the lexic and the
Speaker 1: zeitgeist kind of too. I think people say that one
Speaker 1: of the jokes, one of the legendary text because what
Speaker 1: we were saying last episode, I think when I was
Speaker 1: confused and I thought we were going to do this
Speaker 1: segment is I'm fascinated by taglines because they sort of
Speaker 1: come and go, like if you don't remember them in
Speaker 1: the moment um, then you may it may just completely
Speaker 1: go out of your memory because it's not something that
Speaker 1: like sticks around with them. Then I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people aren't even aware of them. I think some
Speaker 1: people really get into like reading them on the poster,
Speaker 1: but some people might not even acknowledge them. Austin our
Speaker 1: Devsky says, Jaws too will always have the best tagline
Speaker 1: to me, just when you thought it was safe to
Speaker 1: go back into the water. Not bad, Lisa to Shara,
Speaker 1: one of our oldest of friends. For a spinal tap
Speaker 1: does for rock and roll what the sound of music
Speaker 1: did for Hills. That's pretty funny. Oh yeah, Suspiria, This
Speaker 1: is from Anthony nor Suspiria has got a great one, Knoll.
Speaker 1: The only thing more terrifying than the last twelve minutes
Speaker 1: of this film are the first ninety two. Remember seeing
Speaker 1: that that is a very bold claim. That's amazing what
Speaker 1: we do in the shadows. Some interviews with some vampires.
Speaker 1: That's funny, not bad. Bucka Rubansi Across the Eighth Dimension.
Speaker 1: This from Michael Reid. He says, wherever you go there,
Speaker 1: you are not bad. What's that for, Buck Rubanzai? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Across the Eighth Dimension is a subtitle for
Speaker 1: that movie. The full title is The Adventures of Bucker
Speaker 1: Rubanzai Across the Eighth Dimension. I've never seen that. It's good?
Speaker 1: Is it fun? It's a classic, of course. Do you
Speaker 1: have a favorite tagline? Noel, I again like they That's
Speaker 1: why I was fascinated as I want to hear hear
Speaker 1: them because I don't really really recall too many, if any.
Speaker 1: Christen Bits, a guy says Ferris Bueller's day Off. This
Speaker 1: is a good one. One man struggled to take it easy.
Speaker 1: That's funny. See what they did there and all because
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be a struggle to take it easy exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what makes it a great tag Like Greta Koenig says,
Speaker 1: they'll get you in the end. That is from Googlies
Speaker 1: in the movie poster. One of the googlies comes out
Speaker 1: of the toilet, get it in the butt, Yeah, get
Speaker 1: you in the end. Oh boy, this is great. Debbie
Speaker 1: Franka Dacas Edward says her hands his story will touch
Speaker 1: you even though he can't. These are great. Uh. Brian
Speaker 1: Bistle says the original Black Christmas, which we were just
Speaker 1: talking about, says this. If this movie doesn't make your
Speaker 1: skin crawl, it's on too tight? Is this a silence
Speaker 1: of the Lambs situation? No? Well, I mean he says that.
Speaker 1: Bryan says, what the hell does that even mean? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's what it means. Is this like Texas
Speaker 1: chainsaw man? What is this? Did you already say the
Speaker 1: movie is Christmas? You're not paying it till black? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Have you I've not seen Black Christmas. I've
Speaker 1: been researching it recently because was it because of this show?
Speaker 1: Do we talk about Black Christmas? We did? We did,
Speaker 1: and there were some famous people in it. Margo Kidder
Speaker 1: was right, Yeah, That's why I was researching it. It
Speaker 1: looks like a fun movie. Um on too tight? Does
Speaker 1: that mean you're you're too uptight? Loosen up? Square? You know?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that must be what it is.
Speaker 1: Jar Head from Zack Pointer. That movie had the tagline
Speaker 1: welcome to the Suck, and that turned out it wasn't
Speaker 1: a great movie. I thought Your Head was good. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it, but that's what is the suck? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the thing in the movie the suck was
Speaker 1: just being in that platoon at war in war god
Speaker 1: it I think, uh Matthias Larson. This is from Knight
Speaker 1: of the Creeps. The good news is your dates are here.
Speaker 1: The bad news is they're dead. M interesting gladiators. And
Speaker 1: this is from David Frey is what we do in life?
Speaker 1: Echoes in eternity a little heavy handed, not bad though,
Speaker 1: Ian Lyons from RoboCop, Part Man, Part Machine, All Cop,
Speaker 1: All Cop. That's a good one. Hereditary Knoll. This is
Speaker 1: from Trevor halperin Do you remember this one? Something to
Speaker 1: do with family? Every family tree hides a secret. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a little on the nose, super on the nose.
Speaker 1: They could have done better. Yeah, It's like to me,
Speaker 1: a good tagline has just a little clever to it
Speaker 1: and not too much. And that's not clever enough in
Speaker 1: my opinion. Um. The thing from Jeff Noel see this
Speaker 1: is a great one. Man is the Warmest Place to Hide.
Speaker 1: You like that one, yes, because it's like an incubator situation. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean that's what happens in the movie. Man, it's
Speaker 1: the Warmest Place to Hide. Uh, did not get the
Speaker 1: movie title on this one. So maybe we can guess
Speaker 1: from Rob Dickinson an adventure sixty five million years in
Speaker 1: the making. It's Trassic Park. Of course, that's not a
Speaker 1: bad tag. No, it's cute. Um, we'll see if you
Speaker 1: can guess this one. Nol, Brianna Taylor Mischief Mayhem soap,
Speaker 1: It's fight Club. That's right. See now we're we're flipping
Speaker 1: the script. Now, it's a game. It's always fun to
Speaker 1: make it a game. Oldest friend Rebecca Robes says, hot
Speaker 1: for Jesus, hot fuzz. Sorry, just that screwed the game
Speaker 1: up already. Big cops, small town, moderate violence. That's cute.
Speaker 1: That's cute. Oh, that's pretty good. All right, here we go, Nol.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you the movie. Steph Shannon says this,
Speaker 1: if at first you don't succeed, lower your standards. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking it's some kind of rom com, not really that stuff,
Speaker 1: because it could be a lot of movies that's Tommy Boy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like Tommy Boy. Fat guy in a
Speaker 1: little coat. I never saw it. Classic scene he puts
Speaker 1: on David Spade's coat and goes fat guy and a
Speaker 1: little cold and then he rips it. This was always
Speaker 1: even though I have my issues with this filmmaker, Lysette
Speaker 1: Kiel says this one, just because they serve you doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they like you. It's a great tag. M M.
Speaker 1: Is it an Oliver Stone movie? No, trying to think
Speaker 1: of filmmakers you have issues with. Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's Clerks, Clerks original Clerks, Yeah, which I actually liked
Speaker 1: for a while. That's fun. Uh. Gayl Koonts or old
Speaker 1: friend the danger Oven says this her life was in
Speaker 1: their hands, now her toe is in the mail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big Lebowski right there. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: It's a really good one. Sarah Stapleton want to shout
Speaker 1: you out for the alien ref in space. No one
Speaker 1: can hear you scream. This is from J. J. Verbino
Speaker 1: and this is from the movie Heathers. Fuck him. If
Speaker 1: they can't take a joke. I don't know if that
Speaker 1: was on the movie poster. They wouldn't print that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that was not the tagline should
Speaker 1: have been. Now it's fucked me gently with a chainsaw.
Speaker 1: It's another good one. Yeah, that wouldn't be on the
Speaker 1: poster either, don't think so. No, you've been streaming anything.
Speaker 1: Let's finish up with some stream this and some comment
Speaker 1: card questions. What have you been watching lately? Then The Watchman?
Speaker 1: Been watching The Watchman? How many episodes are out? Three?
Speaker 1: Have you seen all three? No, I've seen the first two.
Speaker 1: I have seen the first one and liked it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was episode two a let down or was it good?
Speaker 1: It opens up the world a little more. They're they're
Speaker 1: gradually opening up the world. And if you're familiar with
Speaker 1: the characters, it's a fun because you it's a it's
Speaker 1: a flip. It's like a later situation where it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the events of Watchmen the comic have taken place,
Speaker 1: and this is like sometime in the future and history
Speaker 1: has changed, and there's this like, you know, terrorist cult
Speaker 1: that's based on Rorshach who was sort of like the
Speaker 1: anti hero in the comics or whatever. But it involves racism. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it involves racism, and it involves like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and it's an interesting use of that world,
Speaker 1: and I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued, like I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen next, and I really really dig it.
Speaker 1: Totally agree, dude, I thought it was great. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see more of it. I'm on my own
Speaker 1: with this one because I don't think Emily's into it,
Speaker 1: so I have to squirrel it away. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought when I was a little worried because I
Speaker 1: loved the graphic novel, I liked the movie, um, and
Speaker 1: was just wondering, like, what what are they gonna do here?
Speaker 1: But I think you're right. They did the perfect thing,
Speaker 1: which was not try and make it the movie of
Speaker 1: the book and just use that world because it's a
Speaker 1: cool world. It is a cool world, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll see some of our old favorite characters appear here
Speaker 1: and there. Right. Yeah, By the time three happens, zero
Speaker 1: spoilers here, it really starts to open up and you
Speaker 1: start to experience more of the sci fi touches, whereas
Speaker 1: the first two are a little less so, a little
Speaker 1: more grounded and like a gritty, kind of depressing reality. Um,
Speaker 1: it's it's really fun. I'm into it. And uh, but
Speaker 1: I mean the characters, like, are we gonna see Azzi Mandius?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna see We've already seen him. Oh well
Speaker 1: not in the first one. I just don't know it's him.
Speaker 1: Well geez, there's a spoiler. It's not a spoiler. If
Speaker 1: you if you, if you read the cast, the name
Speaker 1: of the cast, you know, oh no, no, I can't
Speaker 1: watch it any anymore. You can, You're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: who is it? You know, it's not ruined, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be more intriguing. It's ruined. You know. They shot that
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. I know so many people that worked
Speaker 1: on it, like set stressers and like, yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: a whole mean where it's downtown Decator where you see
Speaker 1: the Iberian Pig. They didn't even cover it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. And there's like a big weird sci fi
Speaker 1: orb thing that's clearly c g ied into Downtown Decator.
Speaker 1: It wasn't really really happy. So did you, uh did
Speaker 1: you have some friends on it too? Did they give
Speaker 1: you any scoop? Because I got a little scoop and
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you got the same scoop. I didn't
Speaker 1: get scoop, But the only scoop that I got was
Speaker 1: how different from the comic it was because they were
Speaker 1: naming characters and I'm like, that's not in the comic
Speaker 1: that there's the character played by the guy that was
Speaker 1: in No Brother war Art Thou and uh, tim Blake Nelson,
Speaker 1: Tim Blake Nelson, he's the looking Glass, I think. And
Speaker 1: that's the name that they dropped my friend and I
Speaker 1: was like, that's not There's no looking Glass in the comic.
Speaker 1: So I kind of knew. I was curious that they
Speaker 1: said because my friend had a very bad experience with
Speaker 1: a certain cast member, and I was wondering if you
Speaker 1: could correct. Let's tell me off air. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you off here because I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: too much back. But yeah, apparently one of the cast
Speaker 1: people it was not a nice fun person. I bet
Speaker 1: it's Don Johnson. Oh maybe, I don't know. Why would
Speaker 1: you say that? Uh, just because he's like so old
Speaker 1: school and I don't know, like and he hasn't really
Speaker 1: done anything in a while, and maybe he's like I
Speaker 1: got a chip on his shoulder. Interesting being a TV
Speaker 1: star back in the day and it's all right, let's
Speaker 1: talk off, talk off, Mike, Alright, I have been I
Speaker 1: watched a movie the other night. Emily and I were
Speaker 1: looking for something that sort of doesn't text the brain. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it's just sort of a fun movie. And we
Speaker 1: um did a little googling. And there was a movie
Speaker 1: that Paul Fig made last year that was very much
Speaker 1: under the rad radar, called A Simple Favor. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? No? I had not even heard of it.
Speaker 1: And it's weird that Paul Fig can make a major
Speaker 1: motion picture with a major motion picture cast that just
Speaker 1: sort of flies under the radar. It was Anna Kendrick
Speaker 1: and Blake Lively were the stars of this film. And
Speaker 1: the guy um Henry from Crazy Rich Asians, the lead,
Speaker 1: Henry whatever his last night it was good. How he
Speaker 1: recommended did you watch it on the plane? No, I'll
Speaker 1: watched it the other night. Like I just said with Emily,
Speaker 1: you just watch a lot of rom coms on planes, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's not a rom com, really no, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's a thriller. I'm intrigued. And there are a lot
Speaker 1: of great reveals and twist and turns, and I think
Speaker 1: Anna Kendrick is fantastic, very good. And she wasn't She
Speaker 1: was really good in this. Paul Feig is like the
Speaker 1: comedy guy though, right didn't he do? Yeah? He did?
Speaker 1: He Freaks and Geeks and Bridesmaids, the Ghostbusters reboot, I believe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's a good movie. It's uh, it's highly recommended,
Speaker 1: okay by me? All right, I'll go with a highly recommended.
Speaker 1: I like that. I'm not gonna reveal too much. Blake
Speaker 1: livelies in it, and you know how I feel a
Speaker 1: about her. I'll watch anything that she's in. You know,
Speaker 1: she and Ryan Reynolds, they little bit upstate New York.
Speaker 1: They just went they got a farm. Wonderful. I love that.
Speaker 1: That says a lot about somebody, it does. You know,
Speaker 1: they don't need to be in Hollywood, and he's swooping
Speaker 1: when they need to. Like Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit out on their ranches in Texas. Love
Speaker 1: that isn't. I think Julia Roberts is in like New Mexico.
Speaker 1: I think Sandy Bullock is I think outside of Austin. Interesting,
Speaker 1: not mistaken. And Matthew McConaughey too, he's an Austin Night.
Speaker 1: Sure he's a Texas guy. Uh. Michelle Johnson, We're going
Speaker 1: to finish up with some comment card asks us, this,
Speaker 1: what classic revered Christmas movie is overrated and you could
Speaker 1: do without? Mm hmmm, I don't know. Do you have
Speaker 1: one of Christmas movies? I don't know, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: man Like I don't really flock to them in general.
Speaker 1: Of them are kind of overraped, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And they you watch them because it's Christmas. To me,
Speaker 1: the ones that I enjoy are the ones that are
Speaker 1: like Christmas is sort of an afterthought or it's not.
Speaker 1: It's just sort of like a little part of Maybe
Speaker 1: there's a part of a story that takes place in Christmas,
Speaker 1: but it's not a Christmas not a Christmas movie, like
Speaker 1: we mentioned, uh, we mentioned City of Lost Children. I
Speaker 1: had completely forgotten there was a Christmas connection in that.
Speaker 1: But it's absolutely not a Christmas movie. It goes back
Speaker 1: to that debate as to whether a die Hard is
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. It takes place during Christmas. That old thing,
Speaker 1: that old chest. Surely that's not gonna happen again this year,
Speaker 1: and I would hope not Like haven't we beat that
Speaker 1: into the ground people, Yes, I think we have all right,
Speaker 1: This is from Matt Cliff. This is a if you
Speaker 1: could interview anyone on movie Crush, alive or dead, who
Speaker 1: would it be and what movie would you want to discuss? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can enter the second part
Speaker 1: because the guest picks the movie. But boy, if I
Speaker 1: could interview anyone living or dead, be hard not to
Speaker 1: go with like Philip Seymour Hoffman, you know, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're sure, they're plenty of people that have
Speaker 1: passed on that would be great. But he's He's just
Speaker 1: one of those actors that I have so much reverence for,
Speaker 1: left this way too soon, and I bet would be
Speaker 1: a really good movie Crush guest would have been. He
Speaker 1: seems like it. I mean, he seems like a real
Speaker 1: serious seemed like a real serious guy. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think he's supposed to be a real sweetheart. Paul
Speaker 1: Thomas Anderson said that when he made Magnolia, because his
Speaker 1: character and Magnolia was just he was the nurse, the
Speaker 1: home nurse, puspice nurse, just a really good guy. He
Speaker 1: said he wrote that for phil because he said that's
Speaker 1: the most phil like true to his real personality. And
Speaker 1: he said I always make him some weird like Scottie
Speaker 1: and uh and punch drunk, love the phone sex, and
Speaker 1: he was like, I always put him through all the
Speaker 1: ship and he said I wanted to make a movie
Speaker 1: where he was the most like himself. And he's like,
Speaker 1: that is who philipsmore that That's such a nice sentiment.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. He I missed him a lot too.
Speaker 1: That was a tough one. Um, who would you have
Speaker 1: no all if you were getting someone in here living
Speaker 1: or dead? Yeah, I mean it. I really love Spike Jones,
Speaker 1: you know, Um, he's been such an He's had such
Speaker 1: an interesting career trajectory, like from making skate videos to
Speaker 1: like making these super d I y kind of like
Speaker 1: um very practical weird illusion kind of like music videos,
Speaker 1: and then parlaying that into just being this powerhouse filmmaker
Speaker 1: and still not abandoning some of those cool d I
Speaker 1: y punk esthetics that he always sort of start got
Speaker 1: to start with. So he just and he also just
Speaker 1: seems like a lovely kind kind of person. I think
Speaker 1: he would have really interesting things to say. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hope he is. But boy, now that I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: people alive, I mean so many movie Crush, Wishless, Spike Lee,
Speaker 1: Julianne Moore. I've tried to get Laura Lenney on this
Speaker 1: thing like five times because she shoots here in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: um Ki Marino, of course, dream guests. Uh, there are
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people I would like to
Speaker 1: get on the show, but I don't know how to
Speaker 1: get them. Everybody, it's very hard to get people on
Speaker 1: your show. Let me see here, Nikki Spalding. Do you
Speaker 1: have a comfort film you watch when you're really sad?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I always like Wonder Boys. I don't know
Speaker 1: about what I'm sad, but it's like a rainy day
Speaker 1: or I'm sick, Wonder Boys is always a good save. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't really watch films when I'm sad. Like I
Speaker 1: don't either. I watched TV series of a lot of times,
Speaker 1: like I really like King of the Hill. It makes
Speaker 1: me it's a very comforting show. I like The Office,
Speaker 1: It's a very comforting show to me. I don't get sad.
Speaker 1: You don't get good. Good for you, Chuck, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I have ups and downs in
Speaker 1: life with my marriage, of course an extreme Emily and
Speaker 1: I are in a fight or something. But I'm not
Speaker 1: like laying around sad. I think about sad as in
Speaker 1: like heartbroken and sort of that stuff. Right. Um. I've
Speaker 1: been through an interesting period in the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: like with some you know, ups and downs and relationships
Speaker 1: and looking for a thing and like kind of like
Speaker 1: thinking I found it and then realizing that it wasn't
Speaker 1: really the thing, and then being let down and disappointed.
Speaker 1: So I've definitely gone through that, but I have like
Speaker 1: really emerged on the other side of it, like with
Speaker 1: this whole new level of confidence and kind of like
Speaker 1: lease on life. So it's pretty nice. It's nice to
Speaker 1: like feel like things make sense, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's great. I was I was trying to think back
Speaker 1: when in my heartbroken days. I think it was more
Speaker 1: of a music guy. I would dive into music more
Speaker 1: than a movie. I would agree with that, and the
Speaker 1: saddest music. I was never like, oh I need something
Speaker 1: to pick up my spirits. I would like to I
Speaker 1: would like to wallow in my sadness. That was truly sad,
Speaker 1: and I think there can be a little value in that.
Speaker 1: Actually not talking about people with depression. Um No, I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of upbeat music with sad lyrical content
Speaker 1: like The Cure, you know, or like the Delphonics for example,
Speaker 1: like you know, Wall of Sound kind of Phil Specter,
Speaker 1: like really lush, beautiful, upbeat sounding songs, but they are
Speaker 1: all about breakups and heartbreak and stuff like that, like lyrically. Um,
Speaker 1: I enjoy that because it's a nice juxtaposition where you
Speaker 1: sort of feel uplifted and also wallowing at the same time.
Speaker 1: Kind of true. It's hard to argue against the Smiths. No,
Speaker 1: it's not for some good sad music. Morrissey is canceled.
Speaker 1: That was great. Oh he's so, that's the thing. It's
Speaker 1: the whole art from the artist discussion. Like the Smith's
Speaker 1: classically fantastic. Morrissey is an individual, not that he was canceled. Yes,
Speaker 1: I refuse to even get into that whole thing. I'm
Speaker 1: mainly kidding. But he's done some pretty gross things of late,
Speaker 1: like he supports a lot of weird right wing political
Speaker 1: fringe groups in the UK that our anti immigration and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So I don't know. Yes, So anyway,
Speaker 1: I love the Smith's mean too. That's what I was saying,
Speaker 1: Lisa Pott says, what is the absolute worst movie you
Speaker 1: have ever seen? And why? Well? Li said, there frent
Speaker 1: kinds of bad movies, because certainly there can be a
Speaker 1: movie like a Jupiter Ascending, which was so bad it
Speaker 1: was a wonderful and A and Scotty and I went
Speaker 1: and saw it in the theater because we knew it
Speaker 1: was going to be that we had the best time.
Speaker 1: But a really bad movie to me is a movie
Speaker 1: that's not trying to just have fun and is you know,
Speaker 1: trying to be good and is not. And the only
Speaker 1: one that springs to mind is I know I talked
Speaker 1: about before, is um wicker Park. Did you see that stinker? No?
Speaker 1: I think it was. It's not harmony, Karen, But it's
Speaker 1: like trying to be kids kind of edgy. No, not
Speaker 1: at all, No, it is It is a romantic thriller. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm started thinking of a different one called ken Park.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, wicker Park, I have not Sai Josh Hartnett
Speaker 1: and Rose Byrne and Diane Krueger and Matthew Lillard. It
Speaker 1: was a remake of a French film. I'm interested to
Speaker 1: see that French film. All of a sudden. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that it was based on that. But boy, wicker
Speaker 1: Park was bad, not good at all, not even worth
Speaker 1: checking out, just to wallow and it's awfulness no, because
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh this is bad and fun and cheeky.
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh, how could it? How could you
Speaker 1: make a movie that's bad. It's like kind of self serious,
Speaker 1: like thinks it's being so clever and it's just annoyingly not.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was being thought it was being clever.
Speaker 1: It's just a bad movie. What do you have one?
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the ones that I I just despise.
Speaker 1: I tend to forget about so um. I like bad
Speaker 1: movies that are fun bad like I love mystery Science
Speaker 1: theater and all that stuff and the room and all that,
Speaker 1: you know, but they do require a certain, uh, a
Speaker 1: certain kind of attitude, right, Like like you know, it's
Speaker 1: when you when you think that they're trying to Nothing
Speaker 1: worse than trying too hard, right, There's nothing worse than
Speaker 1: a film that's trying too hard to be a thing.
Speaker 1: In Falling Flat, I like it when they throw a
Speaker 1: lot of ship at the wall and see and you know,
Speaker 1: and it just ends up being this total schmorgus Borg
Speaker 1: of like, you know, unevenness and awfulness, but it's fun.
Speaker 1: But when a movie like really thinks, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we've got this, you know, and it's just not too
Speaker 1: self serious, too self serious. All right, everyone, thanks for
Speaker 1: your questions. That's gonna wrap it up for this week,
