Speaker 1: Nine year old? Yeah, she was shook. I know why
Speaker 1: I was. It was because I saw the guy, one
Speaker 1: of the guys from Stranger Things, which she loves, at
Speaker 1: my neighborhood bar and I texted her and she was like,
Speaker 1: I am shock. They grew up so fast. Weird. You

Speaker 1: our way to start the show. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: put it out there in case I start, you know,
Speaker 1: sobbing in a corner while we record this episode. I
Speaker 1: feel like we should talk off Mike. Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: could totally do that. I'm sorry to hear that. It's okay, man,
Speaker 1: it happens. What a real moment. It's a very real
Speaker 1: moment in Mini Crush history. Jeez, well you can move
Speaker 1: in with us. Hey, thanks, buddy, I appreciate them. Actually,
Speaker 1: you didn't get kicked out of your house. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you weren't. Weren't married, Chuck, It was sing a girlfriend's situation.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, well we'll chat later. Uh. And by
Speaker 1: the way, no, I don't know if you noticed the
Speaker 1: back of that large MC monitor is did you see
Speaker 1: the cartoon? No, just step around pretty quick and check
Speaker 1: it out for folks of you home. I'll post a
Speaker 1: picture of this. But we had the animator the um
Speaker 1: I can't remember his technical director maybe this is his
Speaker 1: official title, Mike Hollingsworth of bo Jack Horseman. And he
Speaker 1: had a sharpie and I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: you should draw something here and I don't know where.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, why don't you draw it
Speaker 1: on the back of this Mac monitor? Our tech r
Speaker 1: I T guy is going to be enraged. Do you
Speaker 1: think he is? I kind of wondered because it texted
Speaker 1: Jerry right after. I was like, if the animator for
Speaker 1: BoJack Horseman were to have drawn in sharpie on this
Speaker 1: Mac monitor, would you be mad? She was like, no,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. Yeah, so immediately centered the picture. Jerry's chill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what does this say? It's a cup cup, cup cup,
Speaker 1: which I think is sick horse. And uh, he drew
Speaker 1: a little cartoon. So we'll post it on the social media.
Speaker 1: That's a good call. And I think it's a you
Speaker 1: know these these these Max, they're so clean and austere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: funk them up. Man, that's I could go to town.
Speaker 1: It's memorabilia. Absolutely, that should be the new thing. Movie
Speaker 1: Crush guests should sign the mac. Oh wow, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: do that. I think so all right? Why not? Okay, So, uh,
Speaker 1: this week, everybody, we are going to do a couple
Speaker 1: of actually nothing super different this week. That's coming next week,
Speaker 1: oh boy. Um. But we're gonna go ahead and start
Speaker 1: off with Hollywood history and today I am going to
Speaker 1: briefly cover the death of John Belushi. It's gonna be sad, Chuck,
Speaker 1: it is gonna be sad. It's gonna be triggering. Uh well,
Speaker 1: it depends on how much you like John Belushi. Trigger warning.
Speaker 1: If you like John Belushi might be sad spoiler, he died,
Speaker 1: and by two it was well established that John Belushi
Speaker 1: had some problems in his life, some addiction problems, all
Speaker 1: sorts of drug use, alcohol. Uh a larger than life
Speaker 1: man and actor and comedian and uh like so many
Speaker 1: had large appetites for all things. Um and you know,
Speaker 1: John was well known to to do a lot of
Speaker 1: cocaine and by this point in his life he was
Speaker 1: tempering that cocaine with pills some and heroin some just
Speaker 1: a bad way. It's real, real cocktail there. Uh So
Speaker 1: on March four, uh, Mr Belushi and a woman named
Speaker 1: Kathy Smith who she was sort of a part time
Speaker 1: singer and part time groupie and part time drug dealer.
Speaker 1: She was known in her earliers for hanging out with
Speaker 1: the Band one of my favorite groups of all time,
Speaker 1: and reportedly had a h a band baby, um paternity unclear,
Speaker 1: but some member of the band either leave On Helm
Speaker 1: or Robbie Robertson or Rick Danko or Garth Hudson or
Speaker 1: h Richard Manuel impregnated her. Oh go and that she
Speaker 1: was just known that wasn't. The baby was known as
Speaker 1: the band baby because they didn't know who so Anyway,
Speaker 1: she young had the band a Lot. Her name was
Speaker 1: Kathy Smith, and she was well known to um sort
Speaker 1: of deal with high profile musicians and in cocaine. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest, Yeah, I mean it was. It was a
Speaker 1: golden time for cocaine. It was a golden times before
Speaker 1: they knew it was bad for you. Yeah. Actually, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's true. No, but I think it was
Speaker 1: just wide rife in act in the acting scene and bands.
Speaker 1: You know, people would use it because it helped them
Speaker 1: work long hours and crazy grinding schedules and you know,
Speaker 1: touring and stuff. I mean, it's it's it makes sense,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it takes a toll. Well, you
Speaker 1: hear the old stories about crew members on movie sets
Speaker 1: in the seventies being paid overtime in cocaine. They would
Speaker 1: just be like, guys, we need a couple of more
Speaker 1: hours out of you. Here you go, and everybody be like, sweet,
Speaker 1: let's do it, okay. Uh. So she was out partying
Speaker 1: with John Belushi and a writer from startaynt Live named
Speaker 1: Nelson Lyon, and they were, you know, drinking lots of booze.
Speaker 1: They were snorting lots of cocaine. Uh. They went out
Speaker 1: in West Hollywood to the Roxy, the very famous club.
Speaker 1: There was a sort of a secret nightclub above the
Speaker 1: Roxy called the Box, which is where they went. After that,
Speaker 1: they went to the Rainbow Room, had some dinner. Apparently
Speaker 1: Belushi just had a little bit of soup, because I
Speaker 1: don't think you're probably super hungry after getting drunk and
Speaker 1: doing tons of blow and uh, he said, he wasn't
Speaker 1: feeling good, so he wanted to go back to his
Speaker 1: hotel room at the Chateau Marmont, to the infamous Bungalow three,
Speaker 1: which I have hung out and partied in several times,
Speaker 1: which I'll get to in a minute. So uh. Smith
Speaker 1: was there and Belushi asked her to shoot him up
Speaker 1: with a speedball, which is a often deadly combination of
Speaker 1: cocaine and heroin in a needle. Not something you ever
Speaker 1: want to try, folks. That sounds terrifying. I imagine it is.
Speaker 1: And uh, she said, And this came out later in
Speaker 1: court testimony because she was eventually would be brought up
Speaker 1: on charges per murder because she injected John Belushi. He
Speaker 1: asked her to, but she injected him with what she said,
Speaker 1: We're eleven different injections. Of speedball throughout the night, which
Speaker 1: is just a massive amount of drugs. Yeah, I can't
Speaker 1: even that mind boggling to me. Yeah, even for Bellushi.
Speaker 1: So Robin Williams stopped by at one point and hung
Speaker 1: out at the at the Chateau for a very short time,
Speaker 1: did a little bit of blow as Robin Williams was
Speaker 1: known to do. Well. There's that stand up special where
Speaker 1: he keeps disappearing backstage and it's very clearly n't coke
Speaker 1: sure sure back in the day he was a well
Speaker 1: known party guy. But he said, and these are quotes again,
Speaker 1: he said that he was creeped out by Kathy Smith
Speaker 1: and thought she was a quote, low life, So he
Speaker 1: didn't hang out long. Uh. Robert jan Niro, who had
Speaker 1: been sort of trying to catch up with Ballushi all night,
Speaker 1: eventually stopped by at three am. And apparently it's just
Speaker 1: by that point was not a good scene inside there,
Speaker 1: So DeNiro didn't stick around long either. Uh. And she
Speaker 1: continued to shoot him up with these speedballs. Eventually she left,
Speaker 1: put him in the shower, showered him up, put him
Speaker 1: to bed, and then she uh, she got out of
Speaker 1: there the next morning. Uh. The personal trainer is what
Speaker 1: they called him. He was sometimes Belushi had personal trainers
Speaker 1: are really bodyguards to try and keep him from doing
Speaker 1: drugs as assigned by the movie studios. He came in
Speaker 1: found Belushi dead in the bungalow uh in a fetal
Speaker 1: position on his bed, pillow over his head. And it's
Speaker 1: pretty gruesome, So if you don't want to hear this
Speaker 1: next part, you might want to tune out for ten seconds.
Speaker 1: His tongue was sticking out and his body was discolored
Speaker 1: on the side where all the blood had settled. So
Speaker 1: just a really rough scene. Tried to resuscitate him, didn't work.
Speaker 1: Only thirty three years old, and Kathy Smith was later
Speaker 1: brought up on charges and plea bargained down and spent
Speaker 1: I believe fifteen months in jail after admitting that she
Speaker 1: essentially killed John Belushi. Very very sad. Yeah, that's really terrible.
Speaker 1: UM in a end on a slightly funnier No, it's
Speaker 1: not really funny because this is kind of what bing
Speaker 1: Oh I just reading about how the Blues Brothers movie
Speaker 1: UM had. There's an interview with Dan Ackroyd and Hanity
Speaker 1: Fair and apparently the movie had a line item budget
Speaker 1: for Cocaine. Yeah. I mean, if you read the Making
Speaker 1: of although he wasn't in Caddysheck, the Making a Caddy Check,
Speaker 1: the Making a Blues Brothers, there are lots of great
Speaker 1: articles about just the debauchery that surrounded those productions. Pretty amazing, alright,
Speaker 1: P Blushi though, man, yeah, man, he he was far
Speaker 1: too young. We lost a great talent. And uh, every
Speaker 1: year in the summer I typically get to hang out
Speaker 1: in that chateau Bungalow three with Hodgeman. He rents out
Speaker 1: that particular suite and uh are particular bungalow and has
Speaker 1: people over and we all hang out, and uh, it's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. It's um, it's sort of like a mid
Speaker 1: century modern two bedroom apartment. It's got these bigs, you know.
Speaker 1: You walk in, there's a living room at the fireplace
Speaker 1: to the left, a sort of medium sized kitchen to
Speaker 1: the right, and down the hall you have a couple
Speaker 1: of bathrooms in a couple of bedrooms, and then uh
Speaker 1: off the living room as a big open patio with
Speaker 1: sliding doors. And the first time I went there, I
Speaker 1: was like, this is where Belushi died. Huh, And Hodgeman
Speaker 1: walked me back to the bedroom. He was like, right there, um,
Speaker 1: obviously different bed. Have you heard of the band Death Grips? Now, well,
Speaker 1: there was a thread on the movie crushers facebook page,
Speaker 1: um where people were like, what music biopic would you
Speaker 1: most like to see? And I'll have to find that
Speaker 1: the name of the guy who had this conversation with
Speaker 1: but he said the band Death Grips. And the reason
Speaker 1: is they're sort of this weird kind of artsy hip
Speaker 1: hop group to people, but they're known for just like
Speaker 1: these crazy shenanigans. So they basically like took all their
Speaker 1: record label advance for this record, lived at the Chateau
Speaker 1: MArmand for like a month, and then leaked the record
Speaker 1: themselves before it came out, like as a as a
Speaker 1: bit of an art kind of fuck you things. And
Speaker 1: they were known for like scheduling shows and not showing
Speaker 1: up on purpose as like sort of a weird playman
Speaker 1: performance art where they would just have a drum set
Speaker 1: and like no intention of of actually showing up and screen.
Speaker 1: So these guys are and then the main dude lyric
Speaker 1: system MC Ride as an excellent visual artist as well.
Speaker 1: Really cool story, but total Chateau Marma. I wonder if
Speaker 1: it was that particular bungalow that they Bungalow three. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then there's one next door which is a mirror
Speaker 1: image of Bungalow three, and I've been in that one too,
Speaker 1: But it's pretty pretty cool scene. If you ever get
Speaker 1: the chance to hang out the Schatzow more mind highly recommended.
Speaker 1: Well you should just invite me that this Hodgman throw down.
Speaker 1: It's cool, man, because to get to those bungalows, you know,
Speaker 1: you can go up through the hotel and uh, and
Speaker 1: it's really a pretty magical property all the way around,
Speaker 1: classic classic l A property. But to get in the
Speaker 1: other way, you go up the back street around the
Speaker 1: hotel up through the Hollywood Hills, and each little bungalow
Speaker 1: has their own little open parking garage, which is nice
Speaker 1: because parking sucks in l A. And then you enter
Speaker 1: through a coded gate and sort of walk through just
Speaker 1: the most lovely rock garden and palm trees and birds
Speaker 1: of paradise and stuff to arrive at the front door
Speaker 1: of these bungalows. So there's a little insider scoop. Maybe
Speaker 1: next year I will take photos and post them, because
Speaker 1: they'ren a ton of them actually, of that bungalow. They
Speaker 1: try to keep it secret. All right, we're gonna move
Speaker 1: on to social studies. Social. I threw this one out today. Uh.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Emily and I and I imagine you two nol
Speaker 1: get bummed when you hear about a Hollywood couple that
Speaker 1: has broken up. You know what I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: like like you. I'm sorry to bring this up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got bigger fish to fry, Chuck, but I'll play
Speaker 1: your reindeer games. Uh. So I posed the question, what
Speaker 1: real if Hollywood break up would bum you out the most?
Speaker 1: And here's what people had to say, Uh, San She
Speaker 1: and Glover, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: I'm with you there. Uh Peter Middleton, Will Smith and
Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett, Samantha Sarks says Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm with you there. Uh. Jenna van Valen,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you almost have the best name ever, Jenna. Uh.
Speaker 1: And she got the most likes and heart she said,
Speaker 1: Kristen Bell and Deck Shephard. So, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people are in that camp. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson,
Speaker 1: says Michelle Benjamin Goldner. For sure, nobody wants to see
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks get divorced. You're kidding me. It would be
Speaker 1: the worst thing ever. Megan Carol, she's she's uh, participates
Speaker 1: a lot in here, Thanks Megan, she says. Nick Offerman
Speaker 1: and Megan Malay for sure. I'm behind Malin for sure.
Speaker 1: That would be super sad. Yeah, they seemed great. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh let me see here, Jimmy Mallory, Chris pat Nana
Speaker 1: Ferris Pratt and Anna Faris really bummed me out, But
Speaker 1: in general, I do not care so much. All right,
Speaker 1: I hear you. Helen Lyons, says Jamie Lee Curtis and
Speaker 1: Christopher Guest. Sure they've been together forever. I would hate
Speaker 1: to see that as well. Uh let me see here,
Speaker 1: another vote for Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. That's sort
Speaker 1: of all over the place. I think they're a beloved couple,
Speaker 1: So Elliott, I'm sorry. Everett Miller chimed in again for
Speaker 1: that one. Let me see. Jane Longshore was bummed about
Speaker 1: Amy Poehler and Will Arnette. To be sure, that was
Speaker 1: pretty disappointing to find out. But here here's the deal, folks.
Speaker 1: You never know what's going on on the inside. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what real life is like for these people.
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that it's miserable for all of them. Boy,
Speaker 1: A lot of people are going with Dax and Kristen
Speaker 1: and Hanks and Wilson, so they are clearly beloved couples.
Speaker 1: And Krasinski and Blunt, they're just so upbeat to Kristen,
Speaker 1: Bell and Dak Shepherd just seemed like really positive types.
Speaker 1: You know you talked to Dak Shepherd, right, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was he pull Was he cool? Was he paused?
Speaker 1: He was pause? Nice? Kathy Jean boy, agree with you here,
Speaker 1: she says. Kevin Klein and Phoebe Gates. Uh, they've been
Speaker 1: together for a long long time, so that would be
Speaker 1: super sad. A lot of people don't care. How about that? Uh,
Speaker 1: Edwin Forrest Glint says Ellen. And Porsche Drassi, I was
Speaker 1: gonna say that one too. Yeah, only because um Porsche
Speaker 1: gave Ellen a birthday president on The Ellen Show, and
Speaker 1: it was like her own, like a wildlife refuge named
Speaker 1: after her, like a guerrilla research center in the rainforest
Speaker 1: named after Ellen, um in honor of like Jane Goodall's work,
Speaker 1: who Ellen admired very much. And it was just a
Speaker 1: really nice moment, a nice thing, like you know, when
Speaker 1: you have everything, what kind of birthday present to youat gift?
Speaker 1: That was pretty thoughtful. Uh Ian Bowers' is Danny DeVito
Speaker 1: and Ria Pearlman? Are they still together? Surely they seemed
Speaker 1: just perfect for each other, agreed? Daniel west Hall still
Speaker 1: set over Brad Pitton. Jennifer Aniston. Wow, I'm sorry what
Speaker 1: two couples ago? What they're not? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher and Mela Kunas says a little bit Wolf.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a real name, A little bit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's That's a nice one though. That's a nice
Speaker 1: pseudonym though, if it is agreed Don Morris, Kevin Baking
Speaker 1: and Curias Sedgwick. I totally agree there, they've been together
Speaker 1: a long time. I guess this thing too, Like so
Speaker 1: many of these Hollywood couples are such flashes in the pan.
Speaker 1: I think the ones that would bother me the most
Speaker 1: are the ones that have been together for a really
Speaker 1: long time, weathering all that Hollywood bullshit. Absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: that's the takeaway here. Yeah, for sure. Kurt and Goldie
Speaker 1: A lot of votes for them. I mean that would
Speaker 1: be super disappointing. They never got married, but a longtime couple. Uh.
Speaker 1: Franz Stayley says Denzel Washington and his wife agreed. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's a good one, Zach Pointer says Michael J. Fox
Speaker 1: and Tracy Poland for sure, they've been together forever and
Speaker 1: have been through at all, So that would be that
Speaker 1: would be really sad. A few votes even though um
Speaker 1: Paul Newman and Joan Woodward are no longer with us.
Speaker 1: Wait is she still with us? Joanne Woodward? Uh? If
Speaker 1: they had broken up, people said retroactively, then that would
Speaker 1: have been really really bad. And I totally agree. They're
Speaker 1: one of the classic Hollywood couples. She is still living,
Speaker 1: She is okay, great? Jeez, I feel bad now. I
Speaker 1: should have known that. No, No, it's they're dropping like flies. Man. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let me see here. One vote for Amy Madigan and
Speaker 1: she says Tim Harris, but I believe that's Ed Harris,
Speaker 1: Bridget Ben Alicia. Let me do a couple of more,
Speaker 1: A bunch of Nick Offerman and Megan Malayles, Alex Dodie
Speaker 1: and Tess Sullivan. Andrea CRUs Uh says Kevin Bacon and
Speaker 1: cure sedgwick Um, A couple of Josh and Chuck's in here.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Did do you heard that there's Josh
Speaker 1: and Chuck fan fiction out there? Do you know about this? Oh?
Speaker 1: Is it really? Yeah? It doesn't surprise me. What kind
Speaker 1: of fan fiction? Slightly erotic? Okay about us too? Getting
Speaker 1: it on you mainly just being browing out super hard.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll have to check that out. Julia Nilson
Speaker 1: says Francis mcdormott and Joel Cohen. I agree that would
Speaker 1: be a bummer. They seem pretty well suited. All right.
Speaker 1: I think that is about it. Everyone. One more vote
Speaker 1: from Carrie Sullivan, Cloud, John Krasinski, and Emily Blunt. Wow.
Speaker 1: So it's really like five or six couples that people
Speaker 1: said over and over. Yeah, very interesting. Yeah, alright, now
Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to uh stream this and then
Speaker 1: comment card. I figured we'd follow up on the o
Speaker 1: A since I finished it, and then to mention another
Speaker 1: thing I just started watching, and maybe we'll start doing
Speaker 1: a a two part thing circle back. So I finished
Speaker 1: the o A, spoilers upcoming, everybody. It sort of lost
Speaker 1: me a little bit, but not completely. Okay, I wasn't like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch it anymore. I finished it all through.
Speaker 1: Emily was definitely more into it all the way through
Speaker 1: that I was. It definitely felt like they it kind
Speaker 1: of had that lost vibe where it was like, did
Speaker 1: you kind of decide where you were going with this
Speaker 1: like halfway through kind of a little bit like, I
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. I felt like the ending
Speaker 1: was really beautiful where they were with the school and
Speaker 1: like saving the kids from the school shooter, right, pretty
Speaker 1: intense ending. Yeah. Yeah, but it was also like that
Speaker 1: was sort of the moment that was the one moment
Speaker 1: where you see a real thing kind of or you know,
Speaker 1: and then of course the show ends. So to me,
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of like a kind of
Speaker 1: I don't know, it left it left me feeling a
Speaker 1: little bit um annoyed kind of yeah, yeah, here, I
Speaker 1: think here's what lost me. And this is uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's petty or something. I should have
Speaker 1: just been able to get over easier. But honestly, dude,
Speaker 1: if they hadn't have made the big thing that they
Speaker 1: all had to do to become one, that stupid, stupid
Speaker 1: interpretive dance. You didn't like the interpretive dance. I hated it, man,
Speaker 1: it's my favorite part. Emily loved it. A lot of
Speaker 1: people love it. I just could not get past it.
Speaker 1: They like making sounds too right. Yeah. And then the
Speaker 1: big one that got me was when they went and
Speaker 1: like it's like a cat and did the magic fingers.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, man, I hated that. I
Speaker 1: was just like, it took me out of it every
Speaker 1: single time, and I was like, why couldn't they have
Speaker 1: just made it where they like join hands or something
Speaker 1: and just something a little less like I'm guessing you're
Speaker 1: not an Alvin Ailey fan. This is funny that you
Speaker 1: mentioned that, because Emily loves Alvin Ailey. And while we
Speaker 1: were watching this, I said, this is like Alvin Ailey
Speaker 1: modern dance. I'm not a fan. Yeah, it's it's not
Speaker 1: really something I gravitated towards. But I I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It didn't put me off too too badly. I kind
Speaker 1: of I kind of liked it at all. Right now,
Speaker 1: a lot of people did. Emily loved it. She was
Speaker 1: very moved, and I was sort of a dick. She
Speaker 1: was um and I didn't realize that I was being
Speaker 1: a big dick at the time, but I was doing
Speaker 1: that thing where I was sort of banking fun of
Speaker 1: it as the show kind of went on, and in
Speaker 1: the end I was sort of making too much fun
Speaker 1: of it, and she was like, I'm enjoying this. Will
Speaker 1: you shut the funk up please and allow me to
Speaker 1: enjoy it and not being fun of it. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, man, what a jerk. Yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: at least you guys are comfortable enough with each other
Speaker 1: that she can tell you to shut the funk up. Oh,
Speaker 1: of course, Like I hear that ten times a day.
Speaker 1: She's very comfortable. Um, And it's sort of you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you both want to be making fun of the
Speaker 1: same thing, and we just weren't on the same page.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna watch the season two that I'm sure
Speaker 1: we're getting a pass on. By the way, Josh and
Speaker 1: I we have not heard back from man. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean when you don't hear back, it's called the soft pass.
Speaker 1: You ever heard that time? I've I've been soft passed
Speaker 1: on many a time. I didn't know that was the
Speaker 1: thing until I got soft passed on the first time,
Speaker 1: like five or six years ago. We auditioned for a
Speaker 1: some Discovery Channel show and um, you just never hear back.
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait a minute, surely they're going
Speaker 1: to call us and say you didn't get it. But no, no,
Speaker 1: you just never hear It's like professional ghosting, profession an
Speaker 1: old ghosting. That's exactly what it is. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finish up with five questions from you to us.
Speaker 1: What's your This is from Ralph Ralph Spradley. What is
Speaker 1: your favorite movie from childhood? The pre adolescent part of childhood?
Speaker 1: I don't know what adolescent means. Is that like twelve wish? Yeah,

Speaker 1: with my kids several years ago, and it like got
Speaker 1: me for clemped as shit because it was very nostalgic.

Speaker 1: kind of brought me back. Um, and so you were
Speaker 1: in the mouse movies. I really like exclusively mouse centric movies. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're going more mouse content everyone. Yeah, whatever happened that? Man?
Speaker 1: We need more good mouse cartoons. Agreed. Uh, let me
Speaker 1: see here, Rob real r I e h l Ryle.
Speaker 1: What order would you suggest someone who was new to
Speaker 1: Star Wars watch them. You're definitely gonna want to start
Speaker 1: with the prequels because those are the best ones. Um,
Speaker 1: Phantom Menace is a masterpiece. Um, look at you goading,
Speaker 1: goating the listeners. I'm not really boy, I've never really
Speaker 1: thought about that because you know, as a loyalist, I
Speaker 1: just watched them in the order they all came out.
Speaker 1: But now that you can legit order them, is their
Speaker 1: merit to that? Well, for the first time, I would
Speaker 1: say skip the prequels entirely. Just watch the good ones
Speaker 1: of the ones, which would include some of the newer
Speaker 1: ones are fine. The Last Jedi and and uh Force
Speaker 1: Awakens I thought were fine. I'm also not a Star
Speaker 1: Wars head and I'm are coworker hatter have you seen
Speaker 1: the people online unpacking how we feel about Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: It's a giant threat. We talked about this already, but
Speaker 1: no our coworker Holly Fry, who is a Star Wars
Speaker 1: UH enthusiasts. To put it lightly, um, she will defend
Speaker 1: those prequels um with her dying breath. And so you know,
Speaker 1: if if you if you want to watch them in
Speaker 1: chronological order, you would have to start with the prequels.
Speaker 1: But if you want to not hate Star Wars, I
Speaker 1: would say, what's the good ones? All right, that's a
Speaker 1: good answer if you want to not hate Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Shannon Lee, which director's filmography? Do you wish you had
Speaker 1: done yourself? Uh? Do you most wish you had done yourself?
Speaker 1: Great question, Shannon, And Uh, I say it often. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna overthink this. I'm gonna go right out of
Speaker 1: the gate with Alexander Pain because I love, love, love Alexander.
Speaker 1: What about you know, I'm a huge Charlie Kaufman fan.
Speaker 1: I just think he's good pick an incredibly fascinating writer
Speaker 1: and critic, and uh when he directs, he does really
Speaker 1: really interesting things with it too. I just think he
Speaker 1: can do no wrong. I think he's a genius. Agreed.
Speaker 1: I didn't managed to sit through uh uh, what was
Speaker 1: the name of the Senectake, New York. That movie is incredible,
Speaker 1: it is it's a lot though, it's a lot, a lot,
Speaker 1: but it's like if it really warrants repeat viewing because
Speaker 1: it's got not that you would not that that's a
Speaker 1: fun movie, but it's a lot. Man. It's like encapsulated
Speaker 1: in that movie is like life and struggle with art
Speaker 1: and humanity and like getting old, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: he said he wanted to make a horror movie, so
Speaker 1: he decided to make one about getting old. Geez, that's
Speaker 1: the ultimate horror. Yes, exactly, let me see here, Sam Lucien.
Speaker 1: Uh Paulowski says, are there any movies that make you angry? Uh?
Speaker 1: Make me angry? I guess I've seen movies like, uh,
Speaker 1: movies where injustices occur that make me angry. Those are
Speaker 1: probably the only movies that make me angry. Like, uh,
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time like calling one up right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, an easy one is like a Schindler's List
Speaker 1: or something like that, where you're seeing horrible injustices happening
Speaker 1: to people you know, who can't defend themselves and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. My main thing is just anytime you see
Speaker 1: powerful assholes, you know, crushing people under their boots that
Speaker 1: have no way to defend themselves, that that bothers me.
Speaker 1: And if it's done well, if for dramatic effect, then
Speaker 1: that's great. And it comes around. Usually there's some kind
Speaker 1: of redemption or some kind of moment where they get
Speaker 1: their come upans, but those are moments in movies where
Speaker 1: like like the scene in Shi's List where the guys
Speaker 1: just shooting people off of his balcony with the sniper
Speaker 1: rifle or whatever. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: here's another thing too on the along those lines is
Speaker 1: when most movies, usually the person might get their come
Speaker 1: up once come up and because people don't like to
Speaker 1: see something go unpunished. But the rare movies that are
Speaker 1: so dark that they do leave that unpunished, those are
Speaker 1: the most maddening to me and most upsetting. And that
Speaker 1: happens for sure. Alright, final question, Oh, here's a good one,
Speaker 1: Felicia uh through, He'll Brian says, let's not forget about
Speaker 1: our beloved medal members of movie casts. What is your
Speaker 1: favorite movie car of all time. Wow, my favorite movie
Speaker 1: car of all times. Right as you said that, I
Speaker 1: was scrolling through the movie Crushers page and there's a
Speaker 1: gift of the guy from mad Max Fury Road on
Speaker 1: the back of that crazy guitar amp. That's an awesome
Speaker 1: movie car, that is, you know what I will Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a few for me. I will say the Mad
Speaker 1: Max's car and the original Road Warrior and Mad Max
Speaker 1: that I don't even know quite what that car is,
Speaker 1: but like the supercharged black you know, dusty old black
Speaker 1: hot rod that he's driving. That would be up there
Speaker 1: for me for sure. Of course, the classic Mustang Steve
Speaker 1: mcqueens Mustang from Bullet has got to be up there. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then you know what, I'm gonna go in a
Speaker 1: different direction, and I will say all of the checker
Speaker 1: cabs and Royal Tannin bombs, the old junkie checker cabs,
Speaker 1: because it was such a weird thing to do in
Speaker 1: that movie and such an odd choice to have these old, dumpy,
Speaker 1: beat up cabs that I don't think ever really existed
Speaker 1: in New York City. So those are my cars for now.
Speaker 1: Good picks. Yeah, maybe the motorcycle from Great Escape people
Speaker 1: like Bullet. Did you did you say bullet? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Mustang. I haven't seen it for sure, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen its, Like I shad why Steve McQueen, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: watch anything with Steve McQueen and go ahead, Internet, make
Speaker 1: fun of me for for having so many holes in
Speaker 1: my movie knowledge. Somebody called me out about that, NOL.
Speaker 1: You're clearly depressed. I'm not depressed, man, I'm fine. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get you out of this having a good time. Alright,
Speaker 1: go watch Bullet. All right, that's it for this week. Everyone.
Speaker 1: Your homework, I believe is Oh well, it's a crossover everyone.
Speaker 1: The Great friendly Fire Podcast. My friends Adam Pranica, Benjamin Harrison,
Speaker 1: and John Roderick host a show called friendly Fire on
Speaker 1: the Maximum Network and they are all three pals of mine,
Speaker 1: and we got to hang out this June in California
Speaker 1: and they do a their Their friendly Fire podcast is
Speaker 1: about war movies and I am such a big fan
Speaker 1: of their show. A lot of people don't listen to
Speaker 1: podcasts that their friends do in the industry. I am
Speaker 1: not one of them. I love the podcast that my
Speaker 1: friends do. Uh. And so we sat down and did
Speaker 1: a legit crossover, so, uh, friendly fired, I talk about Platoon,
Speaker 1: and it was a long, good, supersized discussion on Platoon
Speaker 1: that I'm releasing in full. They are also releasing the
Speaker 1: same content in their feed the same week, so we're
Speaker 1: doing a real crossover, but there's is more edited and
Speaker 1: we'll be slightly different. So jeez, maybe listen to both
Speaker 1: of them, see which one you like better. I just
Speaker 1: throw it all out there, everybody, So, UH, watch Platoon.
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. Great great Oliver Stone. Uh, sort
Speaker 1: of a monumental Vietnam war film from the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 1: so check it out. I love Pats. That was one
Speaker 1: that really grabbed me early on when I was first
