We all have a meta spreadsheet, 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.200 that's right, that we have to keep up with for 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.959 every single show, and it says what the date is, 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.520 what the show is, whether it's recorded or not, a 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.560 meta description, what else is in the title, but potentially 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:20.400 some keywords. Potentially there's a field for it. Uh nol. Yes, 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.160 this is not the New Year yet. This should be 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:30.280 coming out on December episode n Who very close?

You're gonna have to come with some 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.400 prepared materials, so stay tuned for that as well. But 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.240 we're gonna have a good time, so please come out 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.560 and help us fill whatever tiny little theater that we 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.760 can get our hands on. Chuck a buddy and I 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.960 had a really good hot take about the irishman. You 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.360 want to hear, Yeah, man, let's do it. Trying to 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.000 figure it out if Robert de Niro and Al Pacino 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.160 are doing a good representation of tough guys, or if 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.919 all tough guys are just doing what they've seen Robert 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:15.359 de Niro and Al Pacino do for literally eight thousand years. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.959 It's funny. That's from Peter Peter Dew on Instagram. Chicken 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.160 or the Egg. Yes, it's okay, don't you go Chuck? 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.360 All right? So no, I'm looking around, as you see, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.160 for a sharpie and a piece of paper. And you 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:35.280 know why, No, I mean you want a regular Wait, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.600 here's sharpy. Sharpie's great if you just toss that bad boy. 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:44.959 Is there any paper over there? Um? No, there we go. No, No, 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.079 I can make a paper run real quick. You got here? 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.400 You go? Oka that al right? Everyone's even Nardi like 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.600 a column. You know what that means when the sharpie 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.760 comes out, that means the holes are going to be explored. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.240 It's been a while, It has been a while, And 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.799 I asked the the movie crush page what category. We've 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.040 got a lot of good ideas, but we went with 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:14.200 Molly Thibodeaux because she said movies based on true stories. Oh, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.560 this is gonna be a blood bath. Not necessarily it's 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.720 it's not necessarily biopics that can also be true stories. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.680 Just you know, in general, some of them are biopics. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.040 I bet you've seen more than you think. I love 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.800 that you say biopic instead of biopic. Yeah. I think 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.240 it's a conscious choice on your part. I think you're rebelling. No, 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.480 I think a lot of people say biopic. But it's 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.320 but it's definitely a choice. You're in either the biopic 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640 camp or the biopic camp. That's true. You can't put 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.520 one ft in each game, No, you can't. Never works 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.640 all right, No, we're gonna get going with twenty holes. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:52.000 I'm ready. I've got my columns ready. Number one little 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.960 movie from Steven Spielberg called Catch Me if you can. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.200 I saw that one, alright, what was that guy's name 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.960 like the abeg nail, Frank abogname. Yeah, I'm not mistaken, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.560 real rascal. That one. I quite enjoyed that. It was 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:07.280 very fun. He was a playboy and a conman and 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.440 a pilot was in the a pilot. He intended to 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.880 be a pilot, but he didn't actually pilot anything. He 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.560 didn't pilot anything. He was cutting checks, faking checks, fraud. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:24.640 He uh, he defrauded. He became an attorney. What a guy, 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.640 and then went on to work for the FBI. That's 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.520 catch people like twist if he could. Number two NOL 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:38.520 the story of Chris McCandless Into the Wild no Emil Hirsch. Yeah, 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.599 and the true story of the boy who went Missing 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880 in the Woods. I've heard it's good though it was. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.960 Didn't any vetter do the soundtrack? I don't remember. I 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.400 think he did. It sounds about right. I think Number 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.160 three NOL a little movie about being caught between a 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.000 rock and a hard placed and seven hours. No. I 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.880 I purposefully didn't see that because he saws his arm 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.960 off with like a pocket knife for something. That is 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.040 one part of that movie. And I don't care for cutting. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.159 I don't like cutting, so if I can avoid it. Well, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.520 I will, and you probably shouldn't see that movie. It's 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.360 a it's on Delta. I've considered watching and but then 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.960 that moment pops into my head and like do I 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.960 need more anxiety? I mean it's really good. Uh what's 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.359 his face? Directed it? You know, Danny Boyle? So it 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.960 is you know, let's say the movies two hours long 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.680 and the cutting scene is forty seconds or so. Yeah, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.000 maybe a minute, So just park that to the side. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.360 Do you see him do it? Though? Does it show? Um? 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.080 There is some like you see some of it. I 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.280 can't remember exactly how graphic it cut away maybe to 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.560 his grimacing face and showed a little bit. Because it 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.320 really had to drive home with what this man did 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.200 with a little tiny pocket knife, right wild a dull, 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.479 very dull, because he used that knife to try and 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.320 cut himself out. He dulled it on the rocks for 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.000 days or not days, because it was only why did 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.599 he do that? Um? He was trying to carve away 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.400 enough rock to get out. He ended up dulling the 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.200 knife to the point where it was like cutting his 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.400 arm up with a spoon. Basically, why couldn't he just 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.960 sharpen it again? Against the rock. I don't think it 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.560 works that way. Yes, you gotta have a steel and 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.359 he gives a steel specific. Yes, kind of thing that 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.400 makes sense, alright. No. Number four a little movie from 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.640 our favorite boom. There are any big movies on this list? Big? 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:34.400 These are all big. Raging Bull. Yes, Okay, it's been 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.880 a long time, but I have seen it. Fantastic. That's 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.960 sort of prerequisite viewing, you know, like when you're like, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.600 I'm gonna start watching challenging cinema at you know, you 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:50.640 watch Raging Bull and Taxi Driver. Uh. Number five a 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:57.880 little movie about everyone's favorite nice guy, Candy Candalf Candy Candy. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:04.560 Oh yeah, with Ben Kingsley. You know. Wait no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.919 no no. We watched it and and I was watched 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.800 it in a class. But it's very long. It's very long, 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.640 and I have a memory that we did it in 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.000 two sittings and I feel like I was out one 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.440 of the days. Specific I feel like I've only seen 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.280 half of it. So I'm gonna I'm gonna put that 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.640 in the no camp. All right, I say no, I'm 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.400 fine with that. It doesn't quite count. You said no first, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:36.720 I did say no, alright, No, a little movie about 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:42.440 a football player, definitely not called The blind Side? Okay? 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.760 Is that the one with the with Sandra Bullock where 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.520 there's like the underprivileged youth she takes under her wing. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.720 You haven't seen him? Yeah, not a bad movie. It's 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.480 very hard warming. Uh No, A little movie from one 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:04.240 Mr Stephen Berk called Aaron Bruckovich. That's the one with 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.640 the toxic sludge. Julie Roberts, Albert Finney, I have not 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:14.200 seen it. All right, you're right, you're not doing great, 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.160 although it's not terrible. Number eight sometime movie. I just 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.040 called you movie. You could have played that off, was 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.520 just saying the number eight movies. Hey. Movie. It's like, 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.040 it's like, what does he say? Uh what? Trump called 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:33.320 them the CEO of Apple Apple or whatever? Yeah, oh no, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.480 he played that off. I've been doing a fun thing 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.200 now where every night when my daughter goes to bed, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.040 she wants a new story because I made the mistake 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.400 one time of creating a story out of whole cloth, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.640 and now every night I want a new story. So 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.480 every night I have to come up with a story, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.640 and they're all thank god. She doesn't realize this, but 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.200 there's the formula I've got going where it's a little 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:02.439 girl who does something magnificent, like um built her own 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.520 house made out of sand, like a life size house, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.080 or starts her own veterinary service, or last night it 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.640 was made feather pillows for all the kids in the neighborhood. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.360 Feather pillows, softest pillows, so they all have the same format, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.440 and they're always four and a half years old. And 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.199 every single time I say she was four and a 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.040 half years old, she goes, that's how old I am. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.320 Every night. And then I let her name the kid 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.880 the girl, and I say, and her name was, and 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.960 she looks, she does, uh, the Steve Carrell thing from Anchorman. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.400 She looks around the room and says an object as 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:44.240 her name. So you know, a ceiling fan was one 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.320 girl's name. Blue Light was one girl's name. I like 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.240 blue Light. Eyeball Knows was one of them. That's so 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:52.640 then for the rest of the story I have to say. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.800 And then eyeball Knows went around collecting feathers. Chuck, you 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.160 are you are a top notch dad, This is great, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.960 great stuff. Try no, but I screwed Emily because she's 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.080 like now every time I go in there to sing 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.000 her songs because Emily usually had a song. She wants 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.920 a new song, and she's like, I can't think of 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.960 new songs. Like not, you don't have to write a song, 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.400 just a song she hasn't heard before. So you're in 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.760 there panicking because you can't think of a song. Yeah, 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.920 she doesn't know the entire back catalog of the Carpenters, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.319 you know, I mean, pick a deep cut. Do you 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.439 guys still read together? Not so much, not, not at 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:32.040 that age. She's kind of got her own things. We do. 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.800 We do lots of stuff together, though, of course I'm 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.400 not knocking your kid. Try not. I never learned to read. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.920 Once you get past like, I don't know. I guess 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.840 it varies, but I think once a kid is like 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.640 seven or eight, they're probably not don't want to be 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.720 read to every night. I don't think so. All right, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.960 now we're gonna go with a little movie called All 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:59.640 the President's Men. That's older, right, Woodward and Bernstein Watergate. No, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.600 I haven't seen him. Robert Redford Redford did he directed 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:08.800 President Robert Redford, Yes, he did not direct it. I 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.719 believe that was a Sydney I haven't seen it alright. No. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.880 Number nine, a little movie from everyone's favorite boomer once again, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:26.040 Martin Scorse's about Howard Hughes called The Aviator. Yeah, that 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.520 one's a long e two. Um, I feel like I've 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.880 seen it. I'm pretty sure i've seen it. I don't know, man, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:34.240 I'm gonna have to give that up. I'm gonna be 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.959 I'm being super honest here. I feel like I've seen 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.559 bits of it, like in the wrong order, like maybe 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.520 from television viewing, but I don't think I've ever tried 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.240 to watch it on purpose. You know how I feel 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.440 about biopics, Chuck, it's not my bag. That's why I 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.200 knew I wasn't gonna do super well. I thought you 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.280 didn't like music specific still, like biopics in general period. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 You don't like movies about real people. Not not most 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.600 of the time. It's all right, I've seen goode is, obviously, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.319 but when they're really billed as based on the true 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.520 story of this famous person that did a thing, like 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.120 it doesn't really all right. I got it. Number ten, No, 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.520 The King's Speech. Yes, I enjoyed that one very much, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.000 because that's also a story where you're like, that character 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.240 doesn't loom quite as large, you know, and their their consciousness. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.320 It's more about the story. It's more about the story 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.480 than about like some guy's life and all the ship 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:31.720 that he did or degree number eleven, NOL The Great 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:37.040 Great al Pacino, Dirty Cops story, Serpico, I've never seen Serpico. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.840 He's the good cop. Though he's the good cop. Yeah, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:45.040 the other cops are dirty, dirty cops. Good cop, dirty 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.200 cop of the good cop. Alright. No Little Civil War 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.559 film starring Denzel Washington and Matthew Broderick, Glory, I'm not 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:58.040 seeing glory. Glory is about the story. Yeah, in fact 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:59.880 that I don't think I even knew that was I mean, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.520 it was a true story about the division. But I 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.720 think the characters right actually, for it's like the African 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:11.080 American Division right in the Civil War, and boy and 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.640 they get like shred and used as cannon fodder or uh, 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.840 it's really really really great. I love Denzel and I 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.960 love Matthew Broderick in more serious roles. You tend to 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.640 think of him as kind of a goofball, like self deprecating, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.120 right nerd, But I know he's got the chops. He's 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.560 he's a good actor. He's got He's got the chops 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:35.520 right now. Number thirteen Philip Symore Hoffman's Capodi Love It 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.640 all right, love it because again that's about a murder, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.800 that's about a story. Yeah, I mean I saw both 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.679 of those Capodi films. Uh. I feel like one was 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.840 a little more bio picky than the other. I thought 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.400 Capodi with Hoffman was much more about the writing of 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.400 in Cold Blood. Yeah, yeah, I saw. Did you see 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.160 the other one with Toby what's his Filmy Jones out? 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.920 That's the guy to his names alright. Number fourteen, O 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.400 little movie about a bunch of astronauts struggling to get 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.439 back home, Apollo thirteen. I have seen that, Yes, I 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.400 saw that in the theaters coming back. It's any It's 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.360 it's Anyone's game. Speaking of which, plug real quick got 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.240 a show I've been working on with an outside production company, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.640 really really talented group of folks called Nine Days in 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.200 July that should be out now by the time you're 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.160 listening to this. And it is about the Apollo eleven 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.720 moon landing mission. UM. But it uses never before heard 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.960 audio from the actual mission, from mission control and from 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.640 on the on the ship UM. And it uses it 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.560 to a great effect. And it's a really cool immersive, 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.880 like very cool tense. The stakes are very well established. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.960 It's like you know the story, but you've never quite 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:54.560 heard it like this. So check out Nine Days in 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.640 July wherever you get podcasts. I love it, alright. No, 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.560 on that note movie that was just out in theaters 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.880 first man, I didn't see it now I haven't either. 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:10.240 That's about Neil right got Neil Armstrong played by a 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.720 dead eye, particularly dead eyed Ryan Gosling. It's more dead 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.960 eyed than usual. He in the trailer. He's real like 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.840 stoic in the trailer. Remember look I love Oh He's fantastic. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.840 I say that with love. Number sixteen, Noel, Everyone's favorite comedy, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:30.680 Schindler's List. It's a laugh riot first of all. Um, Yeah, 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.480 it's what's wonderful. It's a wonderful, wonderful movie. I mean one, 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.680 it's it's it's obviously harrowing, but I've never seen it 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.440 done quite like that before. It's very very special. I 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.720 thought it was interesting. And Watchman in the fantastic episode 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.640 six Yes, the black and white flashback to Hooded Justice 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.160 in that story, how they kept having the red in 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.080 the black and white. They talk about that a clear 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.320 NodD Schidlers. They talk about that in a different scene 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.560 where they someone mentions that very thing as though we're like, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:09.120 you know, like U Shidler's List in this world, like 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.360 Schindler's List didn't exist. It was this other thing right right, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.480 right right, But it was still the same technique that 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:21.200 it was so good. Uh number seventeen old movie that 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:26.920 I still have not seen yet hidden figures. I did 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.720 see it, and I liked it very very much. I 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.400 thought it was really well acted. It like split a 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.520 really good balance between comedy and like drama, and again 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.280 the stakes were pretty well defined and the casting is 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.800 just so good. I live Octavia Spencer. Is that her name? 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.600 She's fantastic and um Janelle Money who knew like she was, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:48.760 she's a badass. Yeah, I want to see her in 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.040 more stuff. Yeah, I agreed. Alright, No, all of the 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.960 score right now with three to go is seven, yes, 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.400 is and ten knows. If you sweep the final three 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.160 you have hit your mark. Well we'll see what happ is. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:10.199 Little movie called Lion Nicole Kidman. It's a little kid 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.399 right by a little kid adoptive. So I'm sunk now 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.360 but let's keep selling it's for fun. Yeah, we keep going. 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.600 You should see line it's devastating. Yeah, alright, No, you 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.760 use that word like it's some pleasant thing I want 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.960 you to experience. It's it's an emotional journey worth the taking. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:32.639 Let's say that a movie about everyone's uh favorite prime Minister. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.960 I keep saying that everyone's favorite iron lady. So I 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.320 thought you were gonna say Churchill. I was just kidding 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:45.359 Iron Lady. Meryl Streep's portrayal of uh, what's her Maggie Thatcher. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.320 Maggie Thatcher, Yeah, she was not a lot of people 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.320 did not care for her. I did not see that film. 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.199 I didn't see it either. I just mean a lot 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:53.879 of you didn't care for Maggie Thatcher. Oh, I know. 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:55.600 I was just kidding, like, what's your what's his name? 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.880 Pink Floyd does a lot of digs at old Maggie. 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.680 Roger Waters does not care for Maggie Thatch. He didn't 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:05.040 care for a lot of things. That's all. He's a 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:06.800 cranky old man. But all right, now we're gonna finish 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.600 up finally with number twenty. Great great film about John 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.840 Lennon's youth called Nowhere, boy, I never even heard of 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.040 it already? Who directed that? What's that was to deal with? Nowhere? Boy? 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.560 Let me look who directed is that? I have never 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.679 heard of that in my life. It was out, um, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.120 it was smaller. It was out in two thousand nine, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.680 Coming of Age film about John Lennon, directed by Sam 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:40.040 Taylor Johnson. Hmm, it's really good. It's uh to show 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.760 the Hamburg days, like the early Beatles days, yeah, and 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.800 even earlier, like young teenagers in their skiffle band that 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.240 they would play on like a flatbed trailer. And it's 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.359 good stuff. But it's mainly about John Lennon and his 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.960 relationship with his grandmother and his mother and his aunt. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.960 I didn't know that any of that. Yeah, it's really 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:05.679 really fine film. Alright, no final score seven. So I 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.719 kind of forgot that biopics were not your jam, So 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.840 that was heavily weighted against you. I typically do okay, no, no, no, no, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.520 no reason for apologies. I did have a feeling up 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.160 front that I was gonna maybe my performance would would 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:30.080 would flag on this one. All right, now we're gonna 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:37.240 move on to the crushers page, because is that what 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:42.320 we've become? Yeah, the crushers are are crushing it. They're 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.680 charging into battle on the Crushers page to deliver the contents. 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.720 So on the Crushers page, Rick Swain said, and this 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.240 is a really good question. He said, what because based 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.880 on my recent review of The Irishman that I really 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.240 wanted to like it and didn't. He said, what movie 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.520 in your cinematic journey did you really want to like 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.400 but just didn't And what it kind of turned out 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.840 to be was, which I like is movies that are 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.639 generally very well regarded by people that you just couldn't 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.840 get into. Yeah, because it kind of stacks the deck sometimes, 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.720 like if you read all these accolades about a movie, 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.240 or you think you you like the director's other work, 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.840 or there's things like that that will just up your 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.160 expectations at the point where it's easier to feel let 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.280 down if it doesn't hit the mark. Can you think 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.320 of one that everyone loved that you just couldn't quite 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.679 get their movie wise, I'm having a harder time, but 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.760 I can think of one TV wise I really wanted 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:39.760 to like and just haven't so far. It's that his 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:44.280 dark Materials show on. They do love it. Okay, I 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.840 watched two episodes, really wanted to like it, found myself 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.359 just not caring. And now I'm in my mind, I'm like, 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.480 I have no real desire to want to continue watching it. Yeah, 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:55.199 you gotta do that with TV these days. It's like 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.040 reading the first twenty pages of a book, Like, if 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.360 it's not grabbing, you just put it down. Yeah, move 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.040 on to a different book, right. Um. But that's the clue. 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.040 I can't think of a movie like that because I 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.119 typically vet movies pretty well where I go, and that 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.440 sounds stupid, sounds like I'm just like, you know, not 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:15.480 trying to be adventurous or whatever. But I don't know. 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.520 I didn't I know what I like. I tend to 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.919 be excited about things that I think are going to 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.760 work for me. Um. And I'm not usually let down 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.879 dramatically anyway. So I'll try to think as you go on. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:28.679 But yeah, Irishman was one for me. And you know 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.919 what movie I finally got around to you, uh was 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:36.359 Isle of Dogs that everything about it says, oh, Chuck, 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.240 you will love it. It's about dogs, stop motion animation, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:43.080 it's Wes Anderson, it starts all your famous, your favorite people. Uh, 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.240 it just didn't do it for me interesting. I was, 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.520 did you like it? I did? I mean, I didn't 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.120 hate it, but I was just kind of like, al right, 0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.399 it didn't really like draw me in. I did. It 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.440 was very um, very dry and very matter of fact. 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.280 But then again, so was Fantastic Mr. Fox. It wasn't. 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.159 It was just a little darker and more dystopian maybe, 0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.680 and a little mean spirit at a time, just because 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.520 of how like bedraggled and sort of like you know, 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.840 jacked up the dog's look and garbage Island and all 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:12.840 that stuff. I liked a lot of it, trust me, 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:15.320 there were a lot of parts I liked and it 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.760 looked amazing. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I don't think of 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.280 it in my mind is like I wouldn't watch it 0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.680 again necessarily, whereas Fantastic Mr Fox I would because it's 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.280 sort of a romp. It's a fun, feel good kind 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.919 of movie, whereas I love Dogs is less. So maybe 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.640 I agreed that's that that's the only Yeah, all right. 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:36.199 Rick Swaine himself says the Hobbit movies, uh, Lord of 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.800 the Rings are my all time favorite, and I really 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.280 really wanted to like the Hobbit. But outside of Martin 0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.200 Freeman and a few scenes here and there. I was 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:48.200 severely disappointed. Beth Fielman says his Tree of Life. Ah, 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.439 that's one for me. Yeah, that's one for me. It 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.200 was okay, but I don't know. I think a lot 0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.399 of people say it's a masterpiece, and I found it 0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:02.480 incredibly pretentious and boring. Yeah, I didn't love it. His 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:04.600 new movie looks great. It looks great. It also looks 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:09.200 like it's got a fucking story. Yeah. Sing uh. David 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.240 Wilder says, I might get a lot of hate here, 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:15.040 but I did not love Spider Man into the Spider Verse. 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:17.320 I thought it was good, but everyone else thinks it 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.280 was the best thing ever. I've heard that from some folks. 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.960 That's all right. I loved it, Yeah, I did too. 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.840 Had such a good conversation with Annie about that. Oh well, 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.920 she's got all the inside scoop. Yeah, man, she's a 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:32.240 Delight's great. Jimmy Rutherford says, I know it's heresy, but 0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:35.240 any of the Star Wars films, I just never watched 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.800 them under the right circumstances. Interesting. Yeah, I mean, you 0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.120
