Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush with Chuck and Noll.
Speaker 1: Sorry Chuck, I was just drinking My god, damn Mike.
Speaker 1: I didn't slip on the mic. I was off Mike,
Speaker 1: but that was an off Mike slurp. And I was
Speaker 1: referencing the fact that our new coffee machine doesn't make
Speaker 1: latte's anymore, and that that's upsetting. It's upsetting to me.
Speaker 1: Did you drink LTTE's? I like a latte? The thing
Speaker 1: about the old machine, though, is it used like this
Speaker 1: powdered milk stuff, so they always tasted a little funny.
Speaker 1: Is that what that was? There wasn't a real milk
Speaker 1: if you if you opened it up, there was like
Speaker 1: a big column of like weird white powder. Sorry that
Speaker 1: I did demystify. I meanerience certainly didn't think there was
Speaker 1: a tiny cow in there. That would have been nice.
Speaker 1: The cow would have to be in another room with
Speaker 1: the tubes kind of going off and you know, winding
Speaker 1: through the ceiling, and then there's this cow room. Tiny cow,
Speaker 1: you know. My one of my new cats. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I can call them new anymore, but I
Speaker 1: guess they're new. Is uh call him a cow kittie
Speaker 1: or the hole Stein because he's you know, black and
Speaker 1: white Holstein spotted Holstein. Is that a breed of cattle? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Holstein cow? Huh yeah, man was
Speaker 1: the best milk cows, beef cows, kind of flavor of cow.
Speaker 1: You know what, what is a whole stein? I want
Speaker 1: to say a whole stein is a dairy cow. Mm hmm. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Holstein's beautiful. Look at those look at those babies. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, the classic it's a classic cow. Classic cow,
Speaker 1: like the cow from the cover of the Pink Floyd
Speaker 1: record or the cow from the Hate Chicken restaurant. I
Speaker 1: don't know that. Yeah, I eat more chicken. Yeah, hate chicken.
Speaker 1: That'd be funny if that would be really an escalation.
Speaker 1: That's what. That's what my cat looks like. I love that.
Speaker 1: So what's your cat's name? Uh? While I have Luna
Speaker 1: and leave on which one is the whole stein? Uh?
Speaker 1: Levin is the whole stein. Luna is black, although she
Speaker 1: has a little white on her belly. Got it. And
Speaker 1: they are siblings and they're very very sweet and crazy.
Speaker 1: I've never had crazy cats like this. I've been dating
Speaker 1: a lovely lady for a while now, and she has Chihuahuas.
Speaker 1: And I used to think they were creepy and and
Speaker 1: and you know, skittery and annoying. But hers are lovely.
Speaker 1: They're so steadily and sweet. They're like little cat dogs.
Speaker 1: Chihuahuas are easy to snark at until you meet a
Speaker 1: really good chihuahua. Yeah, my brother has a great Chihuahua
Speaker 1: named Wallace. And this dog is great. This one is Layla,
Speaker 1: and that mom dog mom goes all out, like dress
Speaker 1: him up in little costumes and little bows on. It's
Speaker 1: just it's just a whole thing. It's oh, you know,
Speaker 1: and I can see, I see, I see what you're
Speaker 1: doing their chuck, I'm not doing anything. I see what
Speaker 1: you're doing. That what you're doing. If you want to
Speaker 1: dress up your little purse dogs, that's great. I think
Speaker 1: it's adorable. That's one. It may just be that I'm
Speaker 1: kind of smitten for this woman, so she can do
Speaker 1: no wrong in my eyes. So that's true. One day,
Speaker 1: you may hate those dogs as possible. Apparently they age,
Speaker 1: they don't age well. They get real snaggle toothed and Drulie.
Speaker 1: When you know, Wallace is getting up there and he's
Speaker 1: got a an eye situation sort of like a bug
Speaker 1: eye situation on one side. But he's still a good
Speaker 1: little boy. Yeah, good to know what I have to look.
Speaker 1: I'm a big dog guy. But you know it's fine.
Speaker 1: They're all kinds of dogs and all kinds of people. Know. Agree,
Speaker 1: that's our motto around here. That is the movie crush motto.
Speaker 1: That is on our our Tartan you know our flag.
Speaker 1: Our crests are Scottish Tartan. Indeed. So no, we're gonna
Speaker 1: start out this week with some uh social studies on
Speaker 1: social this movie. I watched The Ice Storm last night
Speaker 1: because Casey's coming in after this good one. For in fact,
Speaker 1: by the time this comes out, that show will already
Speaker 1: be out. One of my favorite movies, and it for
Speaker 1: it nails a time and place almost better than any
Speaker 1: other movie I've seen, which was seventies. Uh suburbs, northeastern
Speaker 1: suburb but like a wooded suburb. It's not like it's
Speaker 1: not like cul de sac house after house, neighborhood these
Speaker 1: this sort of a rural area of Connecticut. But really
Speaker 1: just the time and place just nails it and very
Speaker 1: evocative for me, especially having grown up in that era.
Speaker 1: So as everyone, what what is your number one movie
Speaker 1: for nailing a specific time and place. That just nailed
Speaker 1: it more than any other movie. And I'll allow you
Speaker 1: to think, unless you've got one with a bullet, it's
Speaker 1: just the most recent obvious one. I thought, Once upon
Speaker 1: a Time in Hollywood resolutely destroyed it. Yeah, and doing that,
Speaker 1: not that I remember, Okay, yeah, yeah, it just it
Speaker 1: just really felt transported there. You felt like you were
Speaker 1: occupying that world. Yes, you you can imagine that he
Speaker 1: nailed it perfectly. I would, Yes, I totally agree. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna start off with the old pal Mike Ireland says, uh,
Speaker 1: coming to America. He said, it really nails gritty eighties
Speaker 1: New York. Wasn't it filmed in gritty eighties New York? Yes,
Speaker 1: these aren't people who have fooled people in like by
Speaker 1: filming in see what's upon the time in Hollywood? Was
Speaker 1: filmed in Hollywood? It was? It was, indeed, So I
Speaker 1: see what you mean. Noo. Know what I mean is
Speaker 1: like set in the time where when it was filmed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get your point, And you do have a point.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can still look at it as an artifact,
Speaker 1: like as, oh, this this is a really good representation
Speaker 1: of this time, because you can also not nail it
Speaker 1: your own time and place. You know for sure what
Speaker 1: I get, I get what you mean. One I think
Speaker 1: that does a really good job of what we're talking
Speaker 1: about here is A Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Kitel, because
Speaker 1: it's like super gritty eighties New York to the point
Speaker 1: where it almost looks like seventies New York. It's nineties
Speaker 1: even excuse me, it's like late eighties early nineties New York.
Speaker 1: But when you watch that movie, it feels like Taxi Driver,
Speaker 1: which is another good example. Yeah, I agreed, boy, Bad Lieutenant.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that in a while. It's it's a
Speaker 1: it's a good one. It's it's it's super messed up,
Speaker 1: but it's like it does a really good job of
Speaker 1: transporting you to that like totally New York world. Uh well,
Speaker 1: And in fact, on Mike Ireland's comments, Culver Matthew says,
Speaker 1: but it was made in the mid eighties in New York,
Speaker 1: and Mike said, when does it take place? Then? Ha ha,
Speaker 1: So Mike is uh, yeah, Mike's a good guy. It
Speaker 1: seems that way. He's laughing at himself. I like that
Speaker 1: Matt Cliffs is paper Moon. Peter Bogdanovitch totally nailed what
Speaker 1: I would imagine nineteen thirties rurals small town America would
Speaker 1: feel like. Great movie. I have not seen it. Uh,
Speaker 1: it is really good. That has long been purported to
Speaker 1: be Josh Clark's favorite movie? Is that right? Yes? And
Speaker 1: one day he's going to come on here and talk
Speaker 1: about it. I hope. I hope so too. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hope he'll talk about paper Moon. You'll come on
Speaker 1: and talk about something eventually. Eventually, I'd like to get
Speaker 1: Josh in here on a round table too. That'd be fun.
Speaker 1: That would be Leona Stones as good Fellas and a
Speaker 1: civil action with John Travola. Travola, he dropped the tea.
Speaker 1: Did you know that? Nol? Is that his new thing?
Speaker 1: John Travola a lawyer, And you go clear, you gotta
Speaker 1: drop a constant and whoa, he went clear on his head.
Speaker 1: He did to me, so gosh, he looks great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I have you seen this new movie he's in,
Speaker 1: this Fred Durst vehicle. Well, I haven't seen it that.
Speaker 1: I mean it was in the theater for like, I
Speaker 1: think they pulled it after a Friday release even well,
Speaker 1: I think it's just patently offensive. Yeah, it looks pretty
Speaker 1: bad because he plays like sort of a mentally challenged individual.
Speaker 1: Right is that even okay to say? I don't even
Speaker 1: know what to say anymore, but yeah, it seems like
Speaker 1: he's really leaning into that and it's not good, really interesting.
Speaker 1: But he's bald now, which is where I was, and
Speaker 1: he looks great. He should be bald, and he should
Speaker 1: also not be a member of a cult that is abusive.
Speaker 1: Matthias Larsen old pal says, let the Right One In
Speaker 1: pretty much nails the early in mid eighties of wintry Sweden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet you Larsen with two s s would know
Speaker 1: it sounds very Swedish. I do not recall that feeling
Speaker 1: like a period piece at all. Maybe to me that
Speaker 1: just means it was effective and didn't like shove it down.
Speaker 1: But I have a feeling he was from Sweden and
Speaker 1: the era, so it's probably evocative for him. Charles Martin,
Speaker 1: Aaker's old pal, says, home Alone in Christmas vacation late eighties,
Speaker 1: early nineties, middle class Midwestern style. Okay, Jeff Moore, Revolutionary
Speaker 1: Road wasn't alive in the nineteen fifties, but I think
Speaker 1: that film probably gets it right, both the good and
Speaker 1: the bad. Yeah, that is true. Uh. And then Culver Matthew,
Speaker 1: he's got to be in his bonnet because he says,
Speaker 1: people keep naming movies that were filmed in the time
Speaker 1: and place that they nailed. I don't think this is
Speaker 1: the exercise that was. That was my question. I know,
Speaker 1: so you and Culvert Matthew, Well, Culver Matthew, you have
Speaker 1: your name backwards. I love that he referred to it
Speaker 1: as an exercise though. That's that's adds a lot of
Speaker 1: gravitas to they proceeded bit of an exercise thought experiments.
Speaker 1: The gooch says, Ladybird nailing early two thousand Sacramento, which
Speaker 1: I think is so funny that now early two thousands
Speaker 1: is like a historical period that just makes me feel
Speaker 1: so old. But I also kind of love it, yeah
Speaker 1: for sure, because it did have a feel of like
Speaker 1: the late that that's the thing, like the beginning of
Speaker 1: every new era feels like the tail end of the
Speaker 1: previous one. It's some weird confluence you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because it's all arbitrary. Of course, if we just
Speaker 1: draw these lines between anything, it takes time for us
Speaker 1: to even get what's the thing of the two thousands?
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen on day one of two thousand, that's right, No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't, of course not. That's when the Y two
Speaker 1: K bug makes the elevators not worth exactly, and all
Speaker 1: the money in your bank account disappear. As long as
Speaker 1: you've got like lots of you know, bottled water, You're okay,
Speaker 1: Daniel Quinn and Booley says mid nineties, I was born.
Speaker 1: What are did that? Now? I'm confused. That's funny now sorry.
Speaker 1: Michael McCord link Ladder's Days and Confused Man nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: six and Sophia Copple's adaptation of The Virgin Suicides. Totally.
Speaker 1: She really nailed that that seventies era. Michael Patrick's Boyhood,
Speaker 1: although that that took place over quite a period of time,
Speaker 1: but I agree that he really nailed that. I still
Speaker 1: have not caught boyhood, Chuck. That's a whole, it's a
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's a whole. Debbie Franka Dakas one of
Speaker 1: our Oldest of Friends election exactly like Suburbia Suburban Omaha
Speaker 1: in the nineties could be a time capsule. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. Man Alexander Pain and his dirty cars one
Speaker 1: of his things. Vanessa Lopez, oldest of Friends, lords of
Speaker 1: Dogtown spot on for early skate culture in southern California.
Speaker 1: Patrick Gorman, another old pal, says boiler room was essentially
Speaker 1: the way sales worked before the financial crisis. Interesting, I
Speaker 1: never saw that, right, that's all right. We've got computers
Speaker 1: that make noises, knowl we do. That's where it's the future.
Speaker 1: Blair Christensen says, a New Hope nails the portrayal of
Speaker 1: far far away and long ago. That's very cute, just
Speaker 1: like a mad Max Fury Road really nails Trump's America.
Speaker 1: Sarah Stapleton Hell or high Water. I have not seen that.
Speaker 1: I want to see that. It's supposed to be really good.
Speaker 1: Oh it's great. Yeah, Oh it's grizzled. It's very no
Speaker 1: country for old men. Uh that vibe. It's uh, what's
Speaker 1: his name, Jeff Bridges and who's his counterpart buddy? I
Speaker 1: don't remember, but it's really really good bow Bridges. No,
Speaker 1: it's that kid who who's in the X Men movies.
Speaker 1: And he was in that. He was in Six ft Under.
Speaker 1: He played the troubled art student that Claire falls in
Speaker 1: love with. Oh sure, Ben Foster, Ben Foster, he's in it.
Speaker 1: And he's a hell of an actor. That's so good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta see that love Ben Foster. Boys. He good.
Speaker 1: He's one of the best of his generation. I think
Speaker 1: have you seen The Lighthouse, Chuck? I have we talked
Speaker 1: about that? We did? Okay, take this out. Did you
Speaker 1: see it yet? Yeah, we'll have to crush it. We should.
Speaker 1: Maybe you would. Maybe I hadn't seen it yet. I
Speaker 1: don't remember you had not. Oh well, then we're not
Speaker 1: taking any of this out because it wasn't a stupid question.
Speaker 1: And no, I don't think you've ever repeat yourself on
Speaker 1: the show, so it should not be a problem. Always
Speaker 1: repeat myself on the show, Chuck. And you you you
Speaker 1: know that. Sarah Stapleton says, Heller high Water, she said
Speaker 1: nails the Texas Panhandle even though it was filmed in
Speaker 1: New Mexico. That's all right, you can still fake. That's
Speaker 1: the magic of movie making. Both places have dust, that's true.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you're right at my Alley Alec alec Man
Speaker 1: with the vowels maxim Witch inside Lewin Davis. He said,
Speaker 1: it wasn't around New York in the sixties, but it
Speaker 1: sure makes me feel like I was. Yes, Joker Mike
Speaker 1: meets as Joker, eighties New York vibe. When is the
Speaker 1: Joker set? Though, I mean it feels like that. It
Speaker 1: feels I mean, it feels like think King of Comedy
Speaker 1: era New York to me and I I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to think. I think that's it, right. It just sort
Speaker 1: of like they don't really, you know, make a big deal.
Speaker 1: Did you finally see that? I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I don't. I really want to. Grant Woody the assassination
Speaker 1: Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford captures
Speaker 1: the look and feel of the time. I would think
Speaker 1: pretty accurately. Grant, that is one of my faves. With
Speaker 1: a friend of the show, Paul Schneider, The Schneids Nights
Speaker 1: is in that movie Oldest of Friends, Yvonne Boudette. It
Speaker 1: says taxi driver of course, Benjamin Johnson, Goonies and Grimlin's
Speaker 1: Nail the eighties Somewhere Culvert Matthew is just spinning out
Speaker 1: of control his mind. You don't get the exercise. Ryan
Speaker 1: Folinger says the fifties in Greece. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: that nails the time and place so much as Ryan
Speaker 1: just loves Greece. I think it's also just sort of
Speaker 1: like a it's a stereotypical, kind of just absolute send
Speaker 1: up of that era. Shot on a Happy Days. It's
Speaker 1: all the same. Are they nailing time in places or
Speaker 1: are they just omaging? I think it's it's it's absurdly omagy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, happy anniversary, nol oh Man. Thanks Bud.
Speaker 1: What did you get me? Uh? Three days ago we
Speaker 1: had our two year anniversary on this show. A. We're
Speaker 1: gonna respond. I didn't get you anything. I got you.
Speaker 1: I made your co host. That's true. I appreciate that. Now.
Speaker 1: I started this show, it was much different. It was
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm gonna interview celebrities every Friday, and
Speaker 1: that's the show. And then you were the producer an editor.
Speaker 1: It was early on. Yeah, and then you toss that
Speaker 1: like a bat and toss it chuck. I I was
Speaker 1: hold elsewhere. You're pulling different directions, but you were kind
Speaker 1: enough to join me as co host of the Mini Crushes.
Speaker 1: I love it, dude. I always say that the biggest
Speaker 1: part of the show. Well, I always say this is
Speaker 1: like I always look forward to do because we do
Speaker 1: it early in the morning and it's just a nice
Speaker 1: tone setter for my day. And I always find that
Speaker 1: I have a really nice day when we do these.
Speaker 1: You always have a nice day. When you started with Chuck,
Speaker 1: It's true that should be on a T shirt. I
Speaker 1: love that a bumper sticker at the very least. All right, now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on. Because I wanted this is an
Speaker 1: exercise coming up. I wanted to see if people could
Speaker 1: write movie log lines new ones. I saw this one
Speaker 1: crossing my find I did not read any of these.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to spoil any of these, did you.
Speaker 1: I like the one that you like because I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware of it. And I love Royal tannin bounds and
Speaker 1: I never because I think about the the tagline, Well,
Speaker 1: that's the tagline. I'm talking about the log lines. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, there are these two different exercises. Yeah, tagline
Speaker 1: is like the fifteen words sentence on the movie on
Speaker 1: the poster. The log line is what you tell the
Speaker 1: executive in the room, Yes, I got it. I think
Speaker 1: that's interesting though, the idea of the tagline because it's
Speaker 1: so ephemeral because they they disappear. You don't remember those anymore.
Speaker 1: I do, but you do. But that's cool. I want
Speaker 1: to know them. That's why I'm fascinated by that one.
Speaker 1: But I'm jumping the gun here, let's get that'll be
Speaker 1: next week. Everybody taglines, so I asked everyone to write
Speaker 1: a log line. A log line is a one sentence
Speaker 1: description of your movie. It's also known as the elevator pitch.
Speaker 1: If you know what an elevator pitches for any business,
Speaker 1: that's the very quick summation because you've just happened to
Speaker 1: be on the elevator with Steven Spielberg and you got
Speaker 1: to tell him because he's these Flord's coming up. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you got one sentence. He's got places to go. So
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I wanted people to write original log lines,
Speaker 1: but I was not clear. So they're writing log lines
Speaker 1: for existing films. That's fine, Or should I pull a
Speaker 1: culver Matthew and bitch of fit. No, you often aren't
Speaker 1: very clear with these posts, Chuck. That's sort of that's
Speaker 1: the fun of it, because then we get to like
Speaker 1: bitch about it and decide whose fault it is. Who
Speaker 1: dropped the ball here and I dropped the ball, Vanessa
Speaker 1: Lopez said. For zombie Land, we're just gonna go with
Speaker 1: it because this is what you want. Everybody. Four new
Speaker 1: friends survived the zombie Apocalypse because there never ever, because
Speaker 1: they never ever forget the cardinal rule, the double tap.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I don't get it. No, I mean, is
Speaker 1: that the real one? She wrote? She wrote it for
Speaker 1: the movie. These are all original creations, whether it's an
Speaker 1: original movie or an original log line for an existing movie. Yes,
Speaker 1: is that what we're saying. We're gonna get a mix
Speaker 1: of these things. It looks like it, because it seems
Speaker 1: like I was not clear enough. Should we guess? Should
Speaker 1: we play the game? Let's make this fun for us, Beccalou,
Speaker 1: one of our oldest friends, says. A ragtag group of
Speaker 1: friends sets out on an adventure to find a lost
Speaker 1: treasure in the hopes of saving their homes, making a
Speaker 1: new friend and a few enemies along the way. First
Speaker 1: of all, what constitutes rag tag in a group? They're
Speaker 1: just like seat of their pants kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: I think rag tag means disparate, right, or they're all different.
Speaker 1: They're all like that like gets like a like a
Speaker 1: Motley Crue Motley Well see even then motley Crue, doesn't
Speaker 1: that mean like a gang of thugs that are gonna
Speaker 1: beat you up? All right? Ragtag untidy, disorganized or incongruously
Speaker 1: varied in character. Yeah, so it is rag Yeah that's
Speaker 1: a good description. Then. Now so rag tag search for treasure,
Speaker 1: group of friends save their homes. Adventure to search for
Speaker 1: treasure to save their homes. Yes, yeah, what's the deal.
Speaker 1: They're the developers are gonna take their homes or something
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So they need the money
Speaker 1: because they live in a seaside community. They live in
Speaker 1: a hamlet, and that's a big deal for developers. They
Speaker 1: love that ship. They wants a big hotel or some
Speaker 1: big hotels. You're about the Margaritaville hotel here in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: By the way, I feel like I heard something. I
Speaker 1: think it's it's a big kerfuffle, like these developers are
Speaker 1: swooping in and they're going to build a Margaritaville hotel
Speaker 1: where I don't remember, but it's in an area people
Speaker 1: are not happy about. And also Richard's variety store is
Speaker 1: getting forced out apparently, which is a real bummer. I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. What you call yourself an Atlantean? Now,
Speaker 1: it's just a cool little store that sells like fake
Speaker 1: poop and wigs and you know, two twos and board
Speaker 1: games and it's a variety store. They sell a variety
Speaker 1: of where it's it's right by a trader Joe's on Monroe,
Speaker 1: like on the outer shopping center where the movie theaters
Speaker 1: behind him. It's a beloved spot. But the rents are
Speaker 1: forcing folks out. Well that's sad. Then I'm sad for Richard.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have bought some fake poop. There's just
Speaker 1: still time, chucker, still time, Caleb Selman says. Man regrets
Speaker 1: life choices after being foist, foisted forced to join the
Speaker 1: family business. That could be so many man regrets. What's
Speaker 1: the biggest movie ever about a man being forced to
Speaker 1: join his family business. I don't know, the Godfather. Oh see,
Speaker 1: that's you threw me there with family business. Luke Harkell Road,
Speaker 1: one of our oldest to pal, says a fun space
Speaker 1: adventure movie based on a failed space adventure television show
Speaker 1: was it. It's not a great log line, but it
Speaker 1: is funny. Failed, that's a I don't know if I
Speaker 1: would say failed because it's a favorite television show, Lost
Speaker 1: in Space, but it was canceled eventually Start Trek Firefly.
Speaker 1: Great show and movie. I wonder if anyone wrote an original.
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that. That wasn't clear. No, it's okay,
Speaker 1: this is fun all right. Paul Stevens says this, No
Speaker 1: purple man's lust for jewelry will end half of the
Speaker 1: life on Earth. That's clever, that's very easy. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: almost reads like a haiku. Um uh, it's it would
Speaker 1: be the Avengers. That's right. This is int sting and
Speaker 1: you probably already know this, but I recently started watching
Speaker 1: Community Um the Dan Harmon Show, and the first several
Speaker 1: episodes are directed by the Russo brothers, who went on
Speaker 1: to direct like all the Avengers movies and like all
Speaker 1: the big Marvel movies, is that where they got their start?
Speaker 1: I think it is interesting. It is interesting. Austin our
Speaker 1: deb Ski says, a mischievous, suspender wearing young man agrees
Speaker 1: to be experimented on, resulting in the loss of his
Speaker 1: free will Is it the lawnmower Man clockwork Orange. No,
Speaker 1: the guy in lawnmore Man didn't watch suspenders, he wore overalls.
Speaker 1: Those are not the Yeah, I think I saw lawmore Man,
Speaker 1: like you know, when it was out. It's terrible. It's
Speaker 1: just like what it's like one of those early like
Speaker 1: it's like VR you know, like it was. There's a
Speaker 1: big moment for that in in in the nineties. It
Speaker 1: was a virtuosity when it was all like wire frame polygons,
Speaker 1: like just shapes, you know, Was that was virtuosity Kanu
Speaker 1: Reeves or was that a virtual city? Was you're thinking
Speaker 1: of Johnny Nemonic? Maybe? And virtuosity was actually Russell Crowe
Speaker 1: and Denzel Washington was quite a big big Budge picture
Speaker 1: at the time. Big Budge, Big Budge, Louis Silva, he
Speaker 1: gets it. It's not just a boxing movie. It's the
Speaker 1: greatest love story ever told. Hurricane Raging Bull, Rocky Raging
Speaker 1: Bull had a love story. That's true. Uh, let me
Speaker 1: see here. Some of these are a little on the nose,
Speaker 1: all right, No, let's do one more because I wasn't
Speaker 1: clear enough. Have I mentioned that? Uh maybe a time
Speaker 1: or two. But but but I think it yielded a result
Speaker 1: that is consistent. So yeah, I wanted people to make
Speaker 1: up their own movie ideas well. Put it in a sentence.
Speaker 1: So you should you should have said literally that next time.
Speaker 1: Dylan Thomas screw you know, Dylan Thomas says, seriously, this
Speaker 1: guy freaking loved his dog. Oh gosh, Marley and me. No,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, hold on, freaking loved his dog. A
Speaker 1: boy and his dog dog bites Mann dog tooth. This

Speaker 1: so that he would kill thousands of people for Oh John,
Speaker 1: John vic Yes, John, Yes, all right, I'm sorry everyone,
Speaker 1: that's my fault. Why are you apologizing? That would take
Speaker 1: this one on the gin? That was a fun segment.
Speaker 1: I screwed the pooch, as they say, that's really gross
Speaker 1: saying when you think of it, really, is anyone do that?
Speaker 1: How is it so accepted? And just like you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it still is. I think I
Speaker 1: just dug that one up from the past. Screwed the pooch.
Speaker 1: Here the pooch, poor dog. Did you see that cat
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football? The other night Wolf Uh no, No,
Speaker 1: that was a kitty cat. The black cat that was
Speaker 1: just all of a sudden was on the football field
Speaker 1: during the Giants Cowboys game, and uh, this cat is
Speaker 1: running scared, and all Emily and I, Emily and I
Speaker 1: can do is just feel bad for this cat. Like
Speaker 1: people are laughing and the commentators are having fun, and
Speaker 1: people are, you know, in the stadium, are having a
Speaker 1: good time. And all I could think of is that
Speaker 1: poor cat is petrified. But as the cat is running,
Speaker 1: it's running towards the end zone. And I went watch Emily,
Speaker 1: that's like, people are gonna cheer when that cat gets
Speaker 1: into the end zone. She's like what I was like,
Speaker 1: you watch? I bet you anything. And that cat got
Speaker 1: closer and closer across the goal line and everyone erupted
Speaker 1: as if it had scored. Amazing football fans, you can
Speaker 1: count on a knoll. They're very They're they're nothing if
Speaker 1: not consistent. That's right, all right, We're gonna finish up
Speaker 1: with comment card because there's no way that I can
Speaker 1: screw that up. Mhm, scared, you know. Mike Ireland, oldest
Speaker 1: of friends, says, I know Halloween, Halloween is past, guys,
Speaker 1: but what's the scariest movie you've ever seen. Scariest, like
Speaker 1: really scariest movie. Mm hmmm, I don't know. I mean
Speaker 1: I always I found Hereditary to be quite scary. Might
Speaker 1: be scared me pretty pretty well quite affecting. Um. I
Speaker 1: thought that the original Halloween was pretty scary. I was
Speaker 1: particularly damaged as a kid by the original pet Cemetery movie.
Speaker 1: I think I've mentioned that at a time or two
Speaker 1: on this shows Lost Lost. I remember that movie scared me.
Speaker 1: It had to do with the time I saw it.
Speaker 1: It was way above my pay grade, you know, like
Speaker 1: as a as my emotion al pay grade. And there
Speaker 1: are some things about it that really jacked up my
Speaker 1: little child mind. Like Zelda the creepy skinny sister, you
Speaker 1: know that kind of crawls right towards the camera. Yeah,
Speaker 1: any skitterery movements or like crab crawls or anything that
Speaker 1: will get me every time. Uh. There's a fabulous Korean
Speaker 1: movie that was horribly remade um for American audiences, which
Speaker 1: always always annoys me when the original is just so great.
Speaker 1: It's like read some subtitles, people, But it's called a
Speaker 1: Tale of Two Sisters. It's a Korean ghost story. That
Speaker 1: is quite scary. I recommended highly. I like being scared
Speaker 1: in a movie. I will say Chainsaw Masker got got
Speaker 1: under my skin pretty well. Slica was pretty scary. Um,
Speaker 1: and yeah, that original Halloween. That really got me, you know,
Speaker 1: how to watch the other night, dude, was the original
Speaker 1: Evil Dead because I had just seen part two for
Speaker 1: the Joe Gardens episode and I hadn't seen the I
Speaker 1: think I've only seen the original Evil Dead once maybe,
Speaker 1: and it was a while go. Because I didn't, I
Speaker 1: kind of forgot how fucking bonkers that movie is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's bonkers. The thing that it's interesting to me is
Speaker 1: I want to hear your take on this lay. It
Speaker 1: felt like the work of a filmmaker who was trying
Speaker 1: to make a scary movie, and then the second one
Speaker 1: leaned into the fact that it was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: Uh well, certainly changed as the tone of the second
Speaker 1: film a little bit. Yeah, the first film was straight horror,
Speaker 1: and then they got progressively fun more fun exact. But
Speaker 1: I think there were some things about the first one
Speaker 1: that maybe accidentally read is funny, you know, after the fact,
Speaker 1: it was all pretty fu Yeah, I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: a long time, but that's just I remember making that
Speaker 1: connection because I did it the same way you did.
Speaker 1: Like I think I saw Army of Darkness first, then
Speaker 1: Evil Dead to second, and then eventually Evil Dead. Were
Speaker 1: you confused? It didn't really. I don't know that it matters.
Speaker 1: The mythology is so loose and sort of doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter too much. You know, boy that the the original
Speaker 1: was just really Uh, I guess i'd forgotten how nuts
Speaker 1: o that movie was. Like the last twenty minutes was
Speaker 1: just crazy. Yeah, the practical special effects and the tree.
Speaker 1: I remember the tree well that that that's the one
Speaker 1: scene that does not age well because it's a tree rape. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And Sam Raimi has come out and been like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I regret having that scene, but I actually
Speaker 1: feel like they did something along the lines of that
Speaker 1: in the remake that came out a handful of years ago.
Speaker 1: I have not seen that, but they did because I
Speaker 1: did read some articles because I was like, I wonder
Speaker 1: if saying Ramie feels bad about this, and he does,
Speaker 1: and then they said they mentioned that the new one,
Speaker 1: Like why did they even redo that scene in the
Speaker 1: new movie? So I don't know it was it definitely
Speaker 1: did not even watching it the other night, I was
Speaker 1: like you, I don't like this scene. No, I didn't
Speaker 1: need that. I didn't serve the story. You know it
Speaker 1: was it was shocking. Yeah, I bet Sarah Negi says
Speaker 1: this favorite holiday foods? What favorite holiday foods? And all?
Speaker 1: That's a movie related questions. They don't have to be
Speaker 1: movie related. Okay, you're right. I told them they could
Speaker 1: ask anything they wanted. This is an A M A situation. Okay,
Speaker 1: holiday foods, Yeah, I mean you got any special family
Speaker 1: things you always do, Like you know, when we used
Speaker 1: to go to Ohio for Emily's thing, that always did
Speaker 1: skyline chili and buck eyeballs, And that's the only time
Speaker 1: that we had that stuff was in the holidays. Oh,
Speaker 1: buck eye balls, not buck eyeballs. Buck eyeballs, it's a testicles,
Speaker 1: rocky mountain oysters or whatever. Rocky Mountain oysters or testicles
Speaker 1: these are. But these are eyeballs you're talking about. No
Speaker 1: buck eyeballs. It's a little sweet peanut butter and chocolate
Speaker 1: things made in Ohio, the Buckeye State. Sorry, sorry, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you were talking about like crazy traditions. I was I
Speaker 1: assumed it had to be all just a little sweet
Speaker 1: love that they make every year. That sounds good. My
Speaker 1: mom does a really nice leg of lamb situation, you mean,
Speaker 1: like testicles, just like that stuffed with lamb, testicles and eyeballs.
Speaker 1: Leg of lamb. It's just my it's such a something
Speaker 1: I don't eat except on holidays with my mom, and
Speaker 1: so it's a very it's very nostalgic. I like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have any like I mean our standard Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: You know. I make the stuffing in the benshed potatoes
Speaker 1: and we do sort of all the standard Southern trimmings.
Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving is different all over the country. Training up
Speaker 1: north then had Thanksgiving and they had like oysters in
Speaker 1: their stuffing. Oh, I've had oyster dressing. It's great. Well
Speaker 1: here we call it dressing. There it's stuffing. But my
Speaker 1: mom makes that. She'll she'll make a couple of different
Speaker 1: types and she'll do it oyster really. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: super good. I wasn't wild about it. But I don't
Speaker 1: like cooked oysters got it at all, which is weird.
Speaker 1: Like I can eat three dozen raw oysters, but I
Speaker 1: don't like a cook Like I don't like a Rockefeller
Speaker 1: or a fried oyster? Is that the one with the
Speaker 1: bread crumbs and the spinachi. It's baked, and I prefer
Speaker 1: them raw as well. I like them. I like them cook,
Speaker 1: you know, like an oyster. Po boy. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't like I really especially don't like the fried oyster,
Speaker 1: which is weird because I like fried food more than anything.
Speaker 1: Something about the texture. I like that it's not e
Speaker 1: raw that's slipping down my troat. You really paint a picture, Chuck,
Speaker 1: thank you. Let me see here. Christine ein Rickson Garaway,
Speaker 1: what movie best describes your family of origin? Does that
Speaker 1: mean like your ancestry or your people, just you know,
Speaker 1: life for young knowl with mom and dad, you know,
Speaker 1: in true movie crush fashion. I think we should go
Speaker 1: both ways. Okay, do you have an answer the movie
Speaker 1: that described my I mean, I don't really have much
Speaker 1: heritage as a tour I'm pretty sure you do, Vanilla.
Speaker 1: You know, I think I'm Scandinavian. I did one of
Speaker 1: those twenty three and me tests and it was very unremarkable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was largely Nordic, you know, stock that's exciting, a
Speaker 1: little little miniature Viking, a little lafe lafe ericson with
Speaker 1: a k um. I don't know, man, that's tough. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have an answer for that version of the question.
Speaker 1: For family, I just have distinct memories of going to
Speaker 1: movies with my mom when I was a kid, and
Speaker 1: I remember like going to see Jurassic Park with my mom.
Speaker 1: So that describes your family kind of. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We didn't watch movies as a family really. I just
Speaker 1: it's just a memory I have of being young. I
Speaker 1: got you. I think what She's after is a movie
Speaker 1: that reminds you of your family, not like I saw
Speaker 1: this with my family, but it was my family because
Speaker 1: I was in I had a bunch of child geniuses siblings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like maybe, uh, that would be pretty good.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of like consternation in my family,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of drama and uh and
Speaker 1: big personalities. Okay, so not not as clever or as
Speaker 1: symmetrically framed as Royal Tennant Bounds, but definitely uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer. So your answer wasn't Royal tannonbounds.
Speaker 1: You didn't have child geniuses? No, I feel betrayed. My
Speaker 1: brother was pretty smart right on my sister and I
Speaker 1: are just average and all the best ways. Megan, Carol,
Speaker 1: what villain or monster do you have the most sympathy for? Hmm,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I think. I always like that alien,
Speaker 1: that alien, which one et he wasn't a he wasn't alien,
Speaker 1: the alien the xeno morph. Is that what it's called?
Speaker 1: Eno morph? Yeah? I don't even know this stuff. I
Speaker 1: love sure like that alien. A lot of sympathy for
Speaker 1: that alien. Would you consider e T to be a
Speaker 1: movie monster? Not a monster? He was. He was a
Speaker 1: kind of a monster, but it didn't monster indicate bad
Speaker 1: and scary. I don't know. Frankenstein's monster wasn't bad and scary.
Speaker 1: He was. He was a sweet, sweet boy at heart.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was like sniffing flowers and stuff. He was
Speaker 1: misunderstood well in one scene, well that's a famous scene. Shock. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But he also smashed his head. Does he Does he
Speaker 1: really smash heads? I don't. I don't know either. It
Speaker 1: depends on what Frankenstein you're talking about. We remember that
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro Frankenstein. Was it not good? I heard
Speaker 1: it was not good. It's a bit of a stinker.
Speaker 1: I think that was like a college movie, and I
Speaker 1: went and saw it. I was all excited. That was
Speaker 1: a real stretch for him, you know, like he was
Speaker 1: really like trying to lean into something new, you think
Speaker 1: for his career, like like you know, to agree to
Speaker 1: do that role. I mean maybe in his mind it's
Speaker 1: like the Boris Karloff, you know, Frankenstein is arc Is iconic,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to like be a part of that
Speaker 1: canon or whatever. Maybe it was a big deal movie
Speaker 1: to him when he was a kid, but odd choice choice.
Speaker 1: Kevin Herbond Old Friends says, the studio gives you a
Speaker 1: ton of money to make Jaws five, what's your plot? Well, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I think if I was going to make Jaws five,
Speaker 1: the only thing to do would be to go back
Speaker 1: to the beginning set it at Amity Island, bring in
Speaker 1: Richard Dreyfuss. Sadly, Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw are gone,
Speaker 1: but you gotta bring Richard Dreyfuss back. And maybe if
Speaker 1: we're just gonna really go out there and make up
Speaker 1: a brand new movie that doesn't have to be believable,
Speaker 1: maybe some of the some of the blown up shark
Speaker 1: from Jots one has morphed into a brand new giant
Speaker 1: shark maybe like a piece of blown up shark meat,
Speaker 1: lands in a pool of ecto ooze Ninja turtle ooze,
Speaker 1: and then it turns into mega shark, Yeah, mega Jaws.
Speaker 1: And then Richard Dreyfuss is the only person. Mr Holland, yes,
Speaker 1: has to come back. He has to Louise, he has
Speaker 1: to lure the shark into docile ness with his sim
Speaker 1: his opus. That's right. As my my only request for
Speaker 1: Jaws five would be that it's in five D five
Speaker 1: D two better than three D two more d's all right?
Speaker 1: You know, No, I think we should kind of wrap
Speaker 1: this one up and spank it on the bottom and
Speaker 1: get it up on out of here. I will say, though,
Speaker 1: Vanessa Lopez question from a couple of weeks ago about
Speaker 1: going on a double date with the celebrity couple, I
Speaker 1: told Emily about that question and she said the same
Speaker 1: thing I did. So that means we are sympatico with
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick with a bullet for
Speaker 1: both of us. As JP. Whatever happened to her? What
Speaker 1: do you mean? She's around? She's around, but she's not
Speaker 1: really don't really act so much anymore she does. She
Speaker 1: did that Sex in the City movie. She's done more
Speaker 1: than that. She's great. I know she's great, But I
Speaker 1: didn't go anywhere and Ol, he's all over the place.
Speaker 1: Are you certain? What are her latest credits? Chuck? I'm
Speaker 1: looking now because I I made such a statement that
Speaker 1: she hasn't gone anywhere. I told you she's gonna be
Speaker 1: in that play in New York that we're going to
Speaker 1: see next year. That's cool. Well, she had the TV
Speaker 1: series for three years, Divorce, that's right, that's right. I
Speaker 1: remember that, and she was on Glee three episodes of Glee.
Speaker 1: But you're right. Movie wise, I think Sex in the
Speaker 1: City too was one of the last things she did,
Speaker 1: although she wasn't. A movie last year called Here and Now,
Speaker 1: which I call that one. I don't know, but she
Speaker 1: was the lead, so I like her too. You know
Speaker 1: what she says, screw you know that? Give me the
Speaker 1: subtitle of this episode. It probably should be like, all right,
Speaker 1: thanks everybody for for sticking it out through this one,
Speaker 1: and we'll see you next week. Yeah. For more podcasts
