Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hello, everyone,
Speaker 1: welcome to Manny Crush, the Pensive Edition. Are we pensive?
Speaker 1: You seem a little pensive? I am pensive. I had
Speaker 1: a ship morning. What. Yeah, I'm sorry, Chuck, that's all right,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. I'm not on the air, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm looking to see when this is gonna
Speaker 1: come out and all. And I think are we in
Speaker 1: the New year yet? In podcast time? Yeah, I'm looking
Speaker 1: Hold on, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm looking at a little
Speaker 1: behind the scenes thing. We all have a meta spreadsheet,
Speaker 1: that's right, that we have to keep up with for
Speaker 1: every single show, and it says what the date is,
Speaker 1: what the show is, whether it's recorded or not, a
Speaker 1: meta description, what else is in the title, but potentially
Speaker 1: some keywords. Potentially there's a field for it. Uh nol. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is not the New Year yet. This should be
Speaker 1: coming out on December episode n Who very close? Who
Speaker 1: engine towards one Hondy. Everyone get tickets for my Movie
Speaker 1: Crush Live SF Sketch Fest January nineteenth, Sunday. Audience participation.
Speaker 1: We need you out there. I'm gonna be walking around
Speaker 1: with a microphone. You're gonna have to come with some
Speaker 1: prepared materials, so stay tuned for that as well. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a good time, so please come out
Speaker 1: and help us fill whatever tiny little theater that we
Speaker 1: can get our hands on. Chuck a buddy and I
Speaker 1: had a really good hot take about the irishman. You
Speaker 1: want to hear, Yeah, man, let's do it. Trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out if Robert de Niro and Al Pacino
Speaker 1: are doing a good representation of tough guys, or if
Speaker 1: all tough guys are just doing what they've seen Robert
Speaker 1: de Niro and Al Pacino do for literally eight thousand years.
Speaker 1: It's funny. That's from Peter Peter Dew on Instagram. Chicken
Speaker 1: or the Egg. Yes, it's okay, don't you go Chuck?
Speaker 1: All right? So no, I'm looking around, as you see,
Speaker 1: for a sharpie and a piece of paper. And you
Speaker 1: know why, No, I mean you want a regular Wait,
Speaker 1: here's sharpy. Sharpie's great if you just toss that bad boy.
Speaker 1: Is there any paper over there? Um? No, there we go. No, No,
Speaker 1: I can make a paper run real quick. You got here?
Speaker 1: You go? Oka that al right? Everyone's even Nardi like
Speaker 1: a column. You know what that means when the sharpie
Speaker 1: comes out, that means the holes are going to be explored.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, It has been a while, And
Speaker 1: I asked the the movie crush page what category. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot of good ideas, but we went with
Speaker 1: Molly Thibodeaux because she said movies based on true stories. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a blood bath. Not necessarily it's
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily biopics that can also be true stories.
Speaker 1: Just you know, in general, some of them are biopics.
Speaker 1: I bet you've seen more than you think. I love
Speaker 1: that you say biopic instead of biopic. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: it's a conscious choice on your part. I think you're rebelling. No,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people say biopic. But it's
Speaker 1: but it's definitely a choice. You're in either the biopic
Speaker 1: camp or the biopic camp. That's true. You can't put
Speaker 1: one ft in each game, No, you can't. Never works
Speaker 1: all right, No, we're gonna get going with twenty holes.
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I've got my columns ready. Number one little
Speaker 1: movie from Steven Spielberg called Catch Me if you can.
Speaker 1: I saw that one, alright, what was that guy's name
Speaker 1: like the abeg nail, Frank abogname. Yeah, I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 1: real rascal. That one. I quite enjoyed that. It was
Speaker 1: very fun. He was a playboy and a conman and
Speaker 1: a pilot was in the a pilot. He intended to
Speaker 1: be a pilot, but he didn't actually pilot anything. He
Speaker 1: didn't pilot anything. He was cutting checks, faking checks, fraud.
Speaker 1: He uh, he defrauded. He became an attorney. What a guy,
Speaker 1: and then went on to work for the FBI. That's
Speaker 1: catch people like twist if he could. Number two NOL
Speaker 1: the story of Chris McCandless Into the Wild no Emil Hirsch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the true story of the boy who went Missing
Speaker 1: in the Woods. I've heard it's good though it was.
Speaker 1: Didn't any vetter do the soundtrack? I don't remember. I
Speaker 1: think he did. It sounds about right. I think Number
Speaker 1: three NOL a little movie about being caught between a
Speaker 1: rock and a hard placed and seven hours. No. I
Speaker 1: I purposefully didn't see that because he saws his arm
Speaker 1: off with like a pocket knife for something. That is
Speaker 1: one part of that movie. And I don't care for cutting.
Speaker 1: I don't like cutting, so if I can avoid it. Well,
Speaker 1: I will, and you probably shouldn't see that movie. It's
Speaker 1: a it's on Delta. I've considered watching and but then
Speaker 1: that moment pops into my head and like do I
Speaker 1: need more anxiety? I mean it's really good. Uh what's
Speaker 1: his face? Directed it? You know, Danny Boyle? So it
Speaker 1: is you know, let's say the movies two hours long
Speaker 1: and the cutting scene is forty seconds or so. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe a minute, So just park that to the side.
Speaker 1: Do you see him do it? Though? Does it show? Um?
Speaker 1: There is some like you see some of it. I
Speaker 1: can't remember exactly how graphic it cut away maybe to
Speaker 1: his grimacing face and showed a little bit. Because it
Speaker 1: really had to drive home with what this man did
Speaker 1: with a little tiny pocket knife, right wild a dull,
Speaker 1: very dull, because he used that knife to try and
Speaker 1: cut himself out. He dulled it on the rocks for
Speaker 1: days or not days, because it was only why did
Speaker 1: he do that? Um? He was trying to carve away
Speaker 1: enough rock to get out. He ended up dulling the
Speaker 1: knife to the point where it was like cutting his
Speaker 1: arm up with a spoon. Basically, why couldn't he just
Speaker 1: sharpen it again? Against the rock. I don't think it
Speaker 1: works that way. Yes, you gotta have a steel and
Speaker 1: he gives a steel specific. Yes, kind of thing that
Speaker 1: makes sense, alright. No. Number four a little movie from
Speaker 1: our favorite boom. There are any big movies on this list? Big?
Speaker 1: These are all big. Raging Bull. Yes, Okay, it's been
Speaker 1: a long time, but I have seen it. Fantastic. That's
Speaker 1: sort of prerequisite viewing, you know, like when you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start watching challenging cinema at you know, you
Speaker 1: watch Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. Uh. Number five a
Speaker 1: little movie about everyone's favorite nice guy, Candy Candalf Candy Candy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, with Ben Kingsley. You know. Wait no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. We watched it and and I was watched
Speaker 1: it in a class. But it's very long. It's very long,
Speaker 1: and I have a memory that we did it in
Speaker 1: two sittings and I feel like I was out one
Speaker 1: of the days. Specific I feel like I've only seen
Speaker 1: half of it. So I'm gonna I'm gonna put that
Speaker 1: in the no camp. All right, I say no, I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that. It doesn't quite count. You said no first,
Speaker 1: I did say no, alright, No, a little movie about
Speaker 1: a football player, definitely not called The blind Side? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is that the one with the with Sandra Bullock where
Speaker 1: there's like the underprivileged youth she takes under her wing.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen him? Yeah, not a bad movie. It's
Speaker 1: very hard warming. Uh No, A little movie from one
Speaker 1: Mr Stephen Berk called Aaron Bruckovich. That's the one with
Speaker 1: the toxic sludge. Julie Roberts, Albert Finney, I have not
Speaker 1: seen it. All right, you're right, you're not doing great,
Speaker 1: although it's not terrible. Number eight sometime movie. I just
Speaker 1: called you movie. You could have played that off, was
Speaker 1: just saying the number eight movies. Hey. Movie. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's like, what does he say? Uh what? Trump called
Speaker 1: them the CEO of Apple Apple or whatever? Yeah, oh no,
Speaker 1: he played that off. I've been doing a fun thing
Speaker 1: now where every night when my daughter goes to bed,
Speaker 1: she wants a new story because I made the mistake
Speaker 1: one time of creating a story out of whole cloth,
Speaker 1: and now every night I want a new story. So
Speaker 1: every night I have to come up with a story,
Speaker 1: and they're all thank god. She doesn't realize this, but
Speaker 1: there's the formula I've got going where it's a little
Speaker 1: girl who does something magnificent, like um built her own
Speaker 1: house made out of sand, like a life size house,
Speaker 1: or starts her own veterinary service, or last night it
Speaker 1: was made feather pillows for all the kids in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Feather pillows, softest pillows, so they all have the same format,
Speaker 1: and they're always four and a half years old. And
Speaker 1: every single time I say she was four and a
Speaker 1: half years old, she goes, that's how old I am.
Speaker 1: Every night. And then I let her name the kid
Speaker 1: the girl, and I say, and her name was, and
Speaker 1: she looks, she does, uh, the Steve Carrell thing from Anchorman.
Speaker 1: She looks around the room and says an object as
Speaker 1: her name. So you know, a ceiling fan was one
Speaker 1: girl's name. Blue Light was one girl's name. I like
Speaker 1: blue Light. Eyeball Knows was one of them. That's so
Speaker 1: then for the rest of the story I have to say.
Speaker 1: And then eyeball Knows went around collecting feathers. Chuck, you
Speaker 1: are you are a top notch dad, This is great,
Speaker 1: great stuff. Try no, but I screwed Emily because she's
Speaker 1: like now every time I go in there to sing
Speaker 1: her songs because Emily usually had a song. She wants
Speaker 1: a new song, and she's like, I can't think of
Speaker 1: new songs. Like not, you don't have to write a song,
Speaker 1: just a song she hasn't heard before. So you're in
Speaker 1: there panicking because you can't think of a song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she doesn't know the entire back catalog of the Carpenters,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, pick a deep cut. Do you
Speaker 1: guys still read together? Not so much, not, not at
Speaker 1: that age. She's kind of got her own things. We do.
Speaker 1: We do lots of stuff together, though, of course I'm
Speaker 1: not knocking your kid. Try not. I never learned to read.
Speaker 1: Once you get past like, I don't know. I guess
Speaker 1: it varies, but I think once a kid is like
Speaker 1: seven or eight, they're probably not don't want to be
Speaker 1: read to every night. I don't think so. All right,
Speaker 1: now we're gonna go with a little movie called All
Speaker 1: the President's Men. That's older, right, Woodward and Bernstein Watergate. No,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him. Robert Redford Redford did he directed
Speaker 1: President Robert Redford, Yes, he did not direct it. I
Speaker 1: believe that was a Sydney I haven't seen it alright. No.
Speaker 1: Number nine, a little movie from everyone's favorite boomer once again,
Speaker 1: Martin Scorse's about Howard Hughes called The Aviator. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: one's a long e two. Um, I feel like I've
Speaker 1: seen it. I'm pretty sure i've seen it. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to give that up. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: I'm being super honest here. I feel like I've seen
Speaker 1: bits of it, like in the wrong order, like maybe
Speaker 1: from television viewing, but I don't think I've ever tried
Speaker 1: to watch it on purpose. You know how I feel
Speaker 1: about biopics, Chuck, it's not my bag. That's why I
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't gonna do super well. I thought you
Speaker 1: didn't like music specific still, like biopics in general period.
Speaker 1: You don't like movies about real people. Not not most
Speaker 1: of the time. It's all right, I've seen goode is, obviously,
Speaker 1: but when they're really billed as based on the true
Speaker 1: story of this famous person that did a thing, like
Speaker 1: it doesn't really all right. I got it. Number ten, No,
Speaker 1: The King's Speech. Yes, I enjoyed that one very much,
Speaker 1: because that's also a story where you're like, that character
Speaker 1: doesn't loom quite as large, you know, and their their consciousness.
Speaker 1: It's more about the story. It's more about the story
Speaker 1: than about like some guy's life and all the ship
Speaker 1: that he did or degree number eleven, NOL The Great
Speaker 1: Great al Pacino, Dirty Cops story, Serpico, I've never seen Serpico.
Speaker 1: He's the good cop. Though he's the good cop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the other cops are dirty, dirty cops. Good cop, dirty
Speaker 1: cop of the good cop. Alright. No Little Civil War
Speaker 1: film starring Denzel Washington and Matthew Broderick, Glory, I'm not
Speaker 1: seeing glory. Glory is about the story. Yeah, in fact
Speaker 1: that I don't think I even knew that was I mean,
Speaker 1: it was a true story about the division. But I
Speaker 1: think the characters right actually, for it's like the African
Speaker 1: American Division right in the Civil War, and boy and
Speaker 1: they get like shred and used as cannon fodder or uh,
Speaker 1: it's really really really great. I love Denzel and I
Speaker 1: love Matthew Broderick in more serious roles. You tend to
Speaker 1: think of him as kind of a goofball, like self deprecating,
Speaker 1: right nerd, But I know he's got the chops. He's
Speaker 1: he's a good actor. He's got He's got the chops
Speaker 1: right now. Number thirteen Philip Symore Hoffman's Capodi Love It
Speaker 1: all right, love it because again that's about a murder,
Speaker 1: that's about a story. Yeah, I mean I saw both
Speaker 1: of those Capodi films. Uh. I feel like one was
Speaker 1: a little more bio picky than the other. I thought
Speaker 1: Capodi with Hoffman was much more about the writing of
Speaker 1: in Cold Blood. Yeah, yeah, I saw. Did you see
Speaker 1: the other one with Toby what's his Filmy Jones out?
Speaker 1: That's the guy to his names alright. Number fourteen, O
Speaker 1: little movie about a bunch of astronauts struggling to get
Speaker 1: back home, Apollo thirteen. I have seen that, Yes, I
Speaker 1: saw that in the theaters coming back. It's any It's
Speaker 1: it's Anyone's game. Speaking of which, plug real quick got
Speaker 1: a show I've been working on with an outside production company,
Speaker 1: really really talented group of folks called Nine Days in
Speaker 1: July that should be out now by the time you're
Speaker 1: listening to this. And it is about the Apollo eleven
Speaker 1: moon landing mission. UM. But it uses never before heard
Speaker 1: audio from the actual mission, from mission control and from
Speaker 1: on the on the ship UM. And it uses it
Speaker 1: to a great effect. And it's a really cool immersive,
Speaker 1: like very cool tense. The stakes are very well established.
Speaker 1: It's like you know the story, but you've never quite
Speaker 1: heard it like this. So check out Nine Days in
Speaker 1: July wherever you get podcasts. I love it, alright. No,
Speaker 1: on that note movie that was just out in theaters
Speaker 1: first man, I didn't see it now I haven't either.
Speaker 1: That's about Neil right got Neil Armstrong played by a
Speaker 1: dead eye, particularly dead eyed Ryan Gosling. It's more dead
Speaker 1: eyed than usual. He in the trailer. He's real like
Speaker 1: stoic in the trailer. Remember look I love Oh He's fantastic.
Speaker 1: I say that with love. Number sixteen, Noel, Everyone's favorite comedy,
Speaker 1: Schindler's List. It's a laugh riot first of all. Um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's what's wonderful. It's a wonderful, wonderful movie. I mean one,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's obviously harrowing, but I've never seen it
Speaker 1: done quite like that before. It's very very special. I
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. And Watchman in the fantastic episode
Speaker 1: six Yes, the black and white flashback to Hooded Justice
Speaker 1: in that story, how they kept having the red in
Speaker 1: the black and white. They talk about that a clear
Speaker 1: NodD Schidlers. They talk about that in a different scene
Speaker 1: where they someone mentions that very thing as though we're like,
Speaker 1: you know, like U Shidler's List in this world, like
Speaker 1: Schindler's List didn't exist. It was this other thing right right,
Speaker 1: right right, But it was still the same technique that
Speaker 1: it was so good. Uh number seventeen old movie that
Speaker 1: I still have not seen yet hidden figures. I did
Speaker 1: see it, and I liked it very very much. I
Speaker 1: thought it was really well acted. It like split a
Speaker 1: really good balance between comedy and like drama, and again
Speaker 1: the stakes were pretty well defined and the casting is
Speaker 1: just so good. I live Octavia Spencer. Is that her name?
Speaker 1: She's fantastic and um Janelle Money who knew like she was,
Speaker 1: she's a badass. Yeah, I want to see her in
Speaker 1: more stuff. Yeah, I agreed. Alright, No, all of the
Speaker 1: score right now with three to go is seven, yes,
Speaker 1: is and ten knows. If you sweep the final three
Speaker 1: you have hit your mark. Well we'll see what happ is.
Speaker 1: Little movie called Lion Nicole Kidman. It's a little kid
Speaker 1: right by a little kid adoptive. So I'm sunk now
Speaker 1: but let's keep selling it's for fun. Yeah, we keep going.
Speaker 1: You should see line it's devastating. Yeah, alright, No, you
Speaker 1: use that word like it's some pleasant thing I want
Speaker 1: you to experience. It's it's an emotional journey worth the taking.
Speaker 1: Let's say that a movie about everyone's uh favorite prime Minister.
Speaker 1: I keep saying that everyone's favorite iron lady. So I
Speaker 1: thought you were gonna say Churchill. I was just kidding
Speaker 1: Iron Lady. Meryl Streep's portrayal of uh, what's her Maggie Thatcher.
Speaker 1: Maggie Thatcher, Yeah, she was not a lot of people
Speaker 1: did not care for her. I did not see that film.
Speaker 1: I didn't see it either. I just mean a lot
Speaker 1: of you didn't care for Maggie Thatcher. Oh, I know.
Speaker 1: I was just kidding, like, what's your what's his name?
Speaker 1: Pink Floyd does a lot of digs at old Maggie.
Speaker 1: Roger Waters does not care for Maggie Thatch. He didn't
Speaker 1: care for a lot of things. That's all. He's a
Speaker 1: cranky old man. But all right, now we're gonna finish
Speaker 1: up finally with number twenty. Great great film about John
Speaker 1: Lennon's youth called Nowhere, boy, I never even heard of
Speaker 1: it already? Who directed that? What's that was to deal with? Nowhere? Boy?
Speaker 1: Let me look who directed is that? I have never
Speaker 1: heard of that in my life. It was out, um,
Speaker 1: it was smaller. It was out in two thousand nine,
Speaker 1: Coming of Age film about John Lennon, directed by Sam
Speaker 1: Taylor Johnson. Hmm, it's really good. It's uh to show
Speaker 1: the Hamburg days, like the early Beatles days, yeah, and
Speaker 1: even earlier, like young teenagers in their skiffle band that
Speaker 1: they would play on like a flatbed trailer. And it's
Speaker 1: good stuff. But it's mainly about John Lennon and his
Speaker 1: relationship with his grandmother and his mother and his aunt.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that any of that. Yeah, it's really
Speaker 1: really fine film. Alright, no final score seven. So I
Speaker 1: kind of forgot that biopics were not your jam, So
Speaker 1: that was heavily weighted against you. I typically do okay, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no reason for apologies. I did have a feeling up
Speaker 1: front that I was gonna maybe my performance would would
Speaker 1: would flag on this one. All right, now we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on to the crushers page, because is that what
Speaker 1: we've become? Yeah, the crushers are are crushing it. They're
Speaker 1: charging into battle on the Crushers page to deliver the contents.
Speaker 1: So on the Crushers page, Rick Swain said, and this
Speaker 1: is a really good question. He said, what because based
Speaker 1: on my recent review of The Irishman that I really
Speaker 1: wanted to like it and didn't. He said, what movie
Speaker 1: in your cinematic journey did you really want to like
Speaker 1: but just didn't And what it kind of turned out
Speaker 1: to be was, which I like is movies that are
Speaker 1: generally very well regarded by people that you just couldn't
Speaker 1: get into. Yeah, because it kind of stacks the deck sometimes,
Speaker 1: like if you read all these accolades about a movie,
Speaker 1: or you think you you like the director's other work,
Speaker 1: or there's things like that that will just up your
Speaker 1: expectations at the point where it's easier to feel let
Speaker 1: down if it doesn't hit the mark. Can you think
Speaker 1: of one that everyone loved that you just couldn't quite
Speaker 1: get their movie wise, I'm having a harder time, but
Speaker 1: I can think of one TV wise I really wanted
Speaker 1: to like and just haven't so far. It's that his
Speaker 1: dark Materials show on. They do love it. Okay, I
Speaker 1: watched two episodes, really wanted to like it, found myself
Speaker 1: just not caring. And now I'm in my mind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I have no real desire to want to continue watching it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta do that with TV these days. It's like
Speaker 1: reading the first twenty pages of a book, Like, if
Speaker 1: it's not grabbing, you just put it down. Yeah, move
Speaker 1: on to a different book, right. Um. But that's the clue.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a movie like that because I
Speaker 1: typically vet movies pretty well where I go, and that
Speaker 1: sounds stupid, sounds like I'm just like, you know, not
Speaker 1: trying to be adventurous or whatever. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't I know what I like. I tend to
Speaker 1: be excited about things that I think are going to
Speaker 1: work for me. Um. And I'm not usually let down
Speaker 1: dramatically anyway. So I'll try to think as you go on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Irishman was one for me. And you know
Speaker 1: what movie I finally got around to you, uh was
Speaker 1: Isle of Dogs that everything about it says, oh, Chuck,
Speaker 1: you will love it. It's about dogs, stop motion animation,
Speaker 1: it's Wes Anderson, it starts all your famous, your favorite people. Uh,
Speaker 1: it just didn't do it for me interesting. I was,
Speaker 1: did you like it? I did? I mean, I didn't
Speaker 1: hate it, but I was just kind of like, al right,
Speaker 1: it didn't really like draw me in. I did. It
Speaker 1: was very um, very dry and very matter of fact.
Speaker 1: But then again, so was Fantastic Mr. Fox. It wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was just a little darker and more dystopian maybe,
Speaker 1: and a little mean spirit at a time, just because
Speaker 1: of how like bedraggled and sort of like you know,
Speaker 1: jacked up the dog's look and garbage Island and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. I liked a lot of it, trust me,
Speaker 1: there were a lot of parts I liked and it
Speaker 1: looked amazing. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I don't think of
Speaker 1: it in my mind is like I wouldn't watch it
Speaker 1: again necessarily, whereas Fantastic Mr Fox I would because it's
Speaker 1: sort of a romp. It's a fun, feel good kind
Speaker 1: of movie, whereas I love Dogs is less. So maybe
Speaker 1: I agreed that's that that's the only Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Rick Swaine himself says the Hobbit movies, uh, Lord of
Speaker 1: the Rings are my all time favorite, and I really
Speaker 1: really wanted to like the Hobbit. But outside of Martin
Speaker 1: Freeman and a few scenes here and there. I was
Speaker 1: severely disappointed. Beth Fielman says his Tree of Life. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's one for me. Yeah, that's one for me. It
Speaker 1: was okay, but I don't know. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people say it's a masterpiece, and I found it
Speaker 1: incredibly pretentious and boring. Yeah, I didn't love it. His
Speaker 1: new movie looks great. It looks great. It also looks
Speaker 1: like it's got a fucking story. Yeah. Sing uh. David
Speaker 1: Wilder says, I might get a lot of hate here,
Speaker 1: but I did not love Spider Man into the Spider Verse.
Speaker 1: I thought it was good, but everyone else thinks it
Speaker 1: was the best thing ever. I've heard that from some folks.
Speaker 1: That's all right. I loved it, Yeah, I did too.
Speaker 1: Had such a good conversation with Annie about that. Oh well,
Speaker 1: she's got all the inside scoop. Yeah, man, she's a
Speaker 1: Delight's great. Jimmy Rutherford says, I know it's heresy, but
Speaker 1: any of the Star Wars films, I just never watched
Speaker 1: them under the right circumstances. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, you
Speaker 1: know my position. I'm not I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 1: your medium. I like, I like, I like them, and
Speaker 1: I actually like the the newer stuff almost better, like
Speaker 1: not better. That's that's that's the stretch. I just mean,
Speaker 1: I've always found it to be a bit of a
Speaker 1: schlocky kind of, you know, soap opera e kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think it's like a masterpiece of cinema.
Speaker 1: I feel like it gets elevated to this like sacred
Speaker 1: cow kind of place when it really never was that
Speaker 1: to begin with. You know, I don't know, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, Chuck, No, I mean, you know, I've said
Speaker 1: it before. They're they're not the greatest movies ever made.
Speaker 1: They got heart, they definitely have heart. Matt Underwood says
Speaker 1: the talented Mr Ripley, I enjoyed that movie. Trevor Helper
Speaker 1: and says everyone is raping about Parasite. I just didn't
Speaker 1: think it was that good. Have you seen it yet, Chuck,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I think it's awesome. Yeah. Uh. Anastasia Bowden
Speaker 1: says Roma. Maybe I just need to watch it again.
Speaker 1: She says, I haven't seen it. Yeah, you still haven't
Speaker 1: seen that. You really loved it, that didn't you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Adam Shortway says every single Kubrick movie hated every one
Speaker 1: of them. Not a single redeeming trait to any of
Speaker 1: those waste of time. Don't know if I'm being told
Speaker 1: or not, Lowser, Adam, if you're alling well done, but
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's just not your back. That's fine,
Speaker 1: that's absolutely fine. Not a single that's that's to those
Speaker 1: wastes of time. That's just sounds like someone who just
Speaker 1: doesn't want to see the good in in anything. Old
Speaker 1: friend champ Razato says Broke Back Mountain, big fan of
Speaker 1: the cast. I just never believed in the love. Huh.
Speaker 1: How did you feel about that film, Chuck? I loved it.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I totally believed it. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a beautiful beauty. That's what people say. People say,
Speaker 1: that's the whole that's the whole thing. Like it. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't have worked if the relationship dynamics hadn't have felt right,
Speaker 1: especially since these are two big Hollywood macho dudes kind
Speaker 1: of and the fact that they like put him in
Speaker 1: the situation and make it believable, that to me seems
Speaker 1: to be what grab people about the movie. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just devastating film. Uh. Tim mcgabbick says, Godfather.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's bad by any means. I actually
Speaker 1: really like it, but I just don't love it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Alex cavan on No Country for Old Men, not even
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Cohen Brothers, that's crazy talk. Daniel
Speaker 1: Quinn Beauley says mad Max fury Road. Had I went
Speaker 1: to see it by myself, I would have walked out.
Speaker 1: Waste of time. To me and everyone else loves it,
Speaker 1: it sounds like this guy is not a fan of fun.
Speaker 1: I like it all. You're just kicking back over there
Speaker 1: and dissing on people. Sorry, I just you know, Look,
Speaker 1: everyone's entitled to their opinion. But when you when you
Speaker 1: unequivocally say something is trash, I reserve the right to
Speaker 1: say you are trash. Okay, Old Pala Hanno the series says,
Speaker 1: but he Me and Rhapsody, I love Queen. I was
Speaker 1: hoping the movie would have been good, but it was
Speaker 1: just me alright, fair enough. Adrian Crane says Gangs of
Speaker 1: New York. I made it twenty minutes in and brought
Speaker 1: it right back to Blockbuster here. I think it's back
Speaker 1: as a dated ref right there. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love it. Oh. James shot shoved it right through that
Speaker 1: slot in the door because it was after hours at
Speaker 1: this point. Right exactly, Gods in Generals from James shod
Speaker 1: A or shady Gods in Generals. I don't know this one.
Speaker 1: It was a it was a civil war movie. Let
Speaker 1: me see here. Noah Hubbard says, top of the list
Speaker 1: is anything from David Lynch. I know, no, he's pushing
Speaker 1: your buttons, uh, he said, I've tried. I know he's brilliant,
Speaker 1: and his movies do elicit a sense of unease in me,
Speaker 1: which is clearly part of what he's going for. I
Speaker 1: just can't seem to enjoy them. I can understand that
Speaker 1: some of them are not quote unquote enjoyable. They are
Speaker 1: not exactly pleasant pictures, you know. I'll tell you one
Speaker 1: that I can't get through and never have been able
Speaker 1: to get through, is Inland Empire. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: just so over the top. It's a bit of ce,
Speaker 1: it's a slog. It's very never finished. The new series
Speaker 1: I did, uh, and it's and it's good, but um,
Speaker 1: you know, for a guy like this, I would I
Speaker 1: would recommend watching The Straight Story because that shows you,
Speaker 1: you know, Oh, David Lynch is actually not just jerking off,
Speaker 1: you know over here, like he's actually can make like
Speaker 1: very linear, very thoughtfully paced, you know, traditional movies, straight
Speaker 1: story if he's a straight story. But it also still
Speaker 1: has a lot of his little weird hallmarks, and but
Speaker 1: they're just kind of hidden. And that's why that movie
Speaker 1: really is fascinating to Earl p Alex Glasnovich says, I
Speaker 1: really wanted to like Midsummer but I'm pretty sure it's
Speaker 1: the worst movie I saw in two thousand nineteen. I
Speaker 1: feel very similarly. I think you do too. I really
Speaker 1: we both really wanted to like I'm gonna watch it
Speaker 1: again because I need to. I think I will too,
Speaker 1: And I didn't. I didn't hate it or even dislike it.
Speaker 1: But that's that's a great example now that that's one
Speaker 1: where I walked in fully expecting to be blown away
Speaker 1: and being far underwhelmed. Julia Lurch says Drive underwhelmed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love Drive. I liked it too. Christopher Watt says
Speaker 1: ad Astra have not seen it yet. He said, so
Speaker 1: much squandered potential. I left the theater angry. What is this?
Speaker 1: Ad Astra? The movie that was just out with Brad
Speaker 1: Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones the space movie is it?
Speaker 1: Is it fiction? Yeah? And I think it's what it
Speaker 1: really is as a as a father son film. Got
Speaker 1: it with spaces the background or backdrop. Scotty loved it.
Speaker 1: He's got a good taste. Uh, let's finish up with
Speaker 1: a few more here. Steve Kraid Dolfer says, abbots are
Speaker 1: so does Jason Santomeyer. I'm with you, Culvert Matthews says
Speaker 1: the Irishman. Susan Caspar says Bonfire the Vanities hands down
Speaker 1: the worst big budget flick I've ever seen. And finally,
Speaker 1: our old friend from Ohio, gayl Koont's the danger of
Speaker 1: and says it follows. I thought it was dumb as hell.
Speaker 1: I loved it follows, but that's okay. It's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a thin conceit I will agree with, like
Speaker 1: the whole premise, but that's sort of what makes it fun, right.
Speaker 1: It's sort of a very simple device, right, yeah, the
Speaker 1: the spooky device. You know. I I quite liked it.
Speaker 1: I did too, But that's okays because we'll always be pals.
Speaker 1: You got anything else, no, no think? So okay, Well
Speaker 1: here we are January. It's the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Thanks for another great year with me in here of course. Man,
Speaker 1: thank you and thank you to all the movie crushers
Speaker 1: who support us and all the other shows that you
Speaker 1: support that we do. We are very fortunate to have
Speaker 1: these great jobs. It's not lost on us. Uh and uh.
Speaker 1: As we always say here at the end of the year, Um,
Speaker 1: some people have tough times with these big holidays and things,
Speaker 1: So reach out to a friend, family member, jump on
Speaker 1: our Facebook page. Good people there. Yeah, everyone's going to
Speaker 1: do well here at the end of the year. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, not to put too fine a
Speaker 1: point on it, but um, everyone has moments where they
Speaker 1: think that, you know, they would be burdening somebody by
Speaker 1: reaching out or asking a friend for help or for
Speaker 1: you know, helping handling. But chances are that is everyone
Speaker 1: feels that way. So just like you know, rekindle old
Speaker 1: friendships this time of year. Even if you think someone
Speaker 1: is too busy for you, what chances are they think
Speaker 1: that you think that about them too. So it's a
Speaker 1: great way to say it. All right, Thanks everyone, cheers.
