Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Sick Edition Part two.
Speaker 1: But on a Monday. It's two minutes past the last recording.
Speaker 1: So Noel's elbow still hurts, his wrist still hurts. I'm
Speaker 1: still sick. How's my pride, Chuck? Oh jeez, I think
Speaker 1: it's okay. All right, Yeah, we'll just speak, you know,
Speaker 1: because I had to bail out on that scooter spectacularly,
Speaker 1: and uh, my pride took a bit of a hit,
Speaker 1: but I think it's healed over the past few days.
Speaker 1: Were you by yourself? Well, I was with my friend Frank,
Speaker 1: but he was up ahead and I was he was
Speaker 1: I was kind of the straggler and he didn't even
Speaker 1: see it go down. So Frankly was like, where were
Speaker 1: you know exactly, and he's like high five scooting. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: with my left hand, exactly exactly. Um, I told you,
Speaker 1: I think I might even sit on the show about
Speaker 1: the time in college when I saw the guy bust
Speaker 1: ass on his bike on campus. Kind of one of
Speaker 1: the funniest things I've ever seen. A guy was riding
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry if I've told the story before everyone.
Speaker 1: But he's riding his bike on the campus of the
Speaker 1: University of Georgia. He totally busted ass, fell on the
Speaker 1: ground face first, bike wheels spinning in the air, books
Speaker 1: scattered all over the street, and this dude Nol puts
Speaker 1: his hand under his chin, laying on the ground, opens
Speaker 1: a book and pretends like he's reading. Yeah, that's very
Speaker 1: similar to what happened with me. It was one of
Speaker 1: the best moves I've ever seen, and I still wonder
Speaker 1: to this day, like, who are you, sir? Where are
Speaker 1: you in the world? Now? Where have those talents taken
Speaker 1: you to be able to play something else? With such
Speaker 1: a skill and a plum man? That was good? Alright. So,
Speaker 1: because I'm sick everyone and UM, I went to bed
Speaker 1: super early last night, I did not prepare any usual
Speaker 1: UM movie Crush stuff like social studies. I spend all
Speaker 1: those in the sick edition from Friday. So what we're
Speaker 1: doing here is a movie Crushers tribute episode. No, because
Speaker 1: as everyone knows, there's a movie Crush page, and there's
Speaker 1: a movie Crushers sub page, which um is for the
Speaker 1: superest of fans and the oldest of pals, and they
Speaker 1: have so much great stuff going on, and people are
Speaker 1: really playing along and posting a bunch of really fun
Speaker 1: um games and questions and interactive stuff, and it just
Speaker 1: makes me smile every time I go over there and
Speaker 1: checks uff out. So I am stealing some of it
Speaker 1: for our own purposes. How does that sound? It sounds lovely, Chuck.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start off with Dave priests Um just about
Speaker 1: a day ago called for the funniest movie scene ever?
Speaker 1: Do you have one all off the dome. I've got
Speaker 1: a couple. I saw the movie hot Rod over the weekend,
Speaker 1: which I really saw that. It's really funny. It's the
Speaker 1: lonely island guys and all that. I mean. Samberg there's
Speaker 1: one scene where he is like in the forest doing
Speaker 1: this like weird zen kind of frolicking meditation ritual and
Speaker 1: he falls down a hill, but he falls for like
Speaker 1: five minutes, and it's just I'm a big fan of
Speaker 1: prat falls in physical comedy like that, taken to the
Speaker 1: inst degree, taken to the instage. Another one that comes
Speaker 1: to mind, I think I've mentioned this before is that
Speaker 1: scene in Wolf of Wall Street where Jonah Hill and
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio or like the drug and they're just crawling
Speaker 1: around each other and just like getting wrapped up in
Speaker 1: the phone line, and it's just that's just good comedy.
Speaker 1: Makes me laugh. So agreed. By the way, have you
Speaker 1: seen Sorry to get distracted already? But have you seen
Speaker 1: the early marks for Once upon a Time? In Hollywood?
Speaker 1: Everyone says it's great. I can't wait. The trailer looks fantastic.
Speaker 1: I've heard a bit of redemption for Tarantino. What do
Speaker 1: you need redemption for? I mean, hateful It wasn't the
Speaker 1: best reviewed film I enjoyed Hatefully. I'm glad, but the
Speaker 1: reviews that I read said a bit of a comeback
Speaker 1: towards the pulp fiction days. You know, it looks like
Speaker 1: a big old fun l a movie, you know, and
Speaker 1: a period piece to boot. Yeah, and um apparently has
Speaker 1: like a knockout ending that that. Tarantino himself has wrote
Speaker 1: a very kind letter at the con Film Festival to
Speaker 1: the journalists saying, please please do not give away anything
Speaker 1: I saw that. Yeah, he did in a great way,
Speaker 1: I think, And he said, we all love cinema. Thinest
Speaker 1: part of that is coming for hash to it to
Speaker 1: a thing, experiencing it. Please allow others to experience this
Speaker 1: the same way that you have. Yeah, yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 1: He didn't throw that in. Uh. No, I think I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna be great. I can't wait. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that as tomorrow the I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: In two days, the Rocketman, the Elton John film comes out,
Speaker 1: and I believe this week Deadwood comes out. Oh really?
Speaker 1: Oh great. I don't know what to do. No, I
Speaker 1: don't have enough time to go to all those movies.
Speaker 1: Deadwoods on the TV right, Oh, that's right. I think
Speaker 1: you're right on the TV. Right, it's on the TV
Speaker 1: Cox sucker. Uh if you don't watch Deadwood. By the way,
Speaker 1: that was he didn't just pull that out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Chuck you foul mouth. So and so oh and also no,
Speaker 1: I filled a hole and I'm gonna fill the other two.
Speaker 1: I watched John Wick and boy did I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. I watched part two over the weekend with
Speaker 1: a friend and I really the first time for the
Speaker 1: first time. But I I thought I had seen part one,
Speaker 1: but I realized I hadn't, So I need to go
Speaker 1: back and watch part one. So you never saw John Wick.
Speaker 1: I saw John Wick two well, I don't know what
Speaker 1: to say about that. I'm sorry, man, Il thought you
Speaker 1: were a wicker, so I'm I'm a wicker man. I
Speaker 1: have you? Have you confused with someone else? Uh? So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch part two. They have a good deal
Speaker 1: go nol on Apple iTunes. You can buy John Wick
Speaker 1: one and two, or if you're sucker, you can rent
Speaker 1: them for five nine nine each. Did the math? Alright,
Speaker 1: So funniest movie scenes ever. We'll start it off with
Speaker 1: Brent a Price, the cat and the ashes and meet
Speaker 1: the parents. Keith Edward says a sightecag and clue. When
Speaker 1: everyone is running around, they all collide on the second level.
Speaker 1: Seeing that movie a hundred times and it still cracks
Speaker 1: me up. Yeah, agreed, you know how I love that movie.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna go to Will Thomas Tommy Boy
Speaker 1: restaurant scene, Tommy like Wingy Lea Mitchell, Tommy Boy dear
Speaker 1: breaking out of the convertible. I've never seen Tommy Boy nol,
Speaker 1: have you. Yeah, it's the one where he puts on
Speaker 1: us as the fat guy in a little coat. That's
Speaker 1: a famous scene as well. He's like fat guy and
Speaker 1: a little coat and then he rips Javid David Spade's coat.
Speaker 1: Skyler Banks is Tommy Boy when he lights the model
Speaker 1: car on fire. I think I need to see Tommy.
Speaker 1: But it's funny. That one's funny. That's the funniest one
Speaker 1: because then they did it again like Black Sheep. It
Speaker 1: was very similar pairing with Spade and Farley, very similar,
Speaker 1: where like you know, Spade was kind of his babysitter, right, right, right,
Speaker 1: that's the dynamic there, r I p Sir Jeff Noel,
Speaker 1: our old friend, the self destructing play performance and noises off. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: noises off. That's a classic. Uh. And he got a
Speaker 1: comment there that you know, none of people know about
Speaker 1: that film. I think I agree with that. Uh. George
Speaker 1: Ferris has twenty two Jump Street Schmidt fuck the Captain's daughter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good scene. That was a funny movie.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen either one of those. I don't. I
Speaker 1: saw the second one, Jump Streight. Yeah, isn't that the
Speaker 1: second one? Yeah? The first one is twenty one Jump Street. Right,
Speaker 1: so you didn't see the one in question here? No,
Speaker 1: I did see both. I'm just you definitely knew the reference. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sick. Give me a breaknal, I was just thinking. Sure,
Speaker 1: Becca Lure, old friend says, Uh, terrible movie called bomb
Speaker 1: Water starring Luke Wilson and Andy Dick. Luke's character's house
Speaker 1: burned down and he's staying with Andy Dick's character over breakfast.
Speaker 1: They're talking and Andy Dick says, guests, who just quick?
Speaker 1: I guess who just quit smoking? Luke asked who, and
Speaker 1: Andy Dick says, your house. I guess that kids her
Speaker 1: every time. Um. Michael O'Neill the barbershop scene and coming
Speaker 1: to America certainly a good one. Art riddles his black
Speaker 1: sheep Farley falls down the mountain. Dodger phillips Our old
Speaker 1: friends is world, according to Garp, either when he and
Speaker 1: his new wife are looking to buy their first home
Speaker 1: or later when you see the look on his wife's
Speaker 1: face while wearing a neck brace. Yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: good movie. More Tommy Boy, where have I been? Noel?
Speaker 1: Watching other things? Uh? Paul Scarnsky says the bathroom seeing
Speaker 1: in Dumb and Dummer. Sure that's body humor, that it's maximum?
Speaker 1: Is there pooping partner Dumb and Dumber with Jeff Daniels
Speaker 1: on the toilet? Oh yeah, I wonder how. I wonder
Speaker 1: how how they do the folly for that. Do you
Speaker 1: think it's like a lot of balloons. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of dudes blowing into their hands.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get a fully artist in here, would
Speaker 1: be fun. Hasn't happened yet, you know, and I know,
Speaker 1: and you should get Michael um Oh gosh, I forget
Speaker 1: his last name now. He does all of them. He
Speaker 1: does a lot of music for Adult Swim and we
Speaker 1: interviewed him on the animation podcast me and Holly Fry
Speaker 1: did from stuff he miss in history class, and he
Speaker 1: is local and is very much a fully artist. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll do that. I think we should. I'll figure out.
Speaker 1: Let's look it up. He's great. I thought there was
Speaker 1: nothing cooler to me when I was a kid than
Speaker 1: seeing a special unfold the artists. When they would do
Speaker 1: a split screen and show what's happening on the movie
Speaker 1: and then show the folly artist at work, uh, walking
Speaker 1: around on like lightbulbs or punching a hamsteak or something.
Speaker 1: It's just the coolest thing. Ever, it's neat too, because
Speaker 1: there's that thing they do where they have like a
Speaker 1: wooden pit that they build because it contains the sounds
Speaker 1: just enough and they might get so close that it
Speaker 1: gives the sense of more of a contained environment as
Speaker 1: opposed to just doing it in an open room. So
Speaker 1: it's almost like a raised flowerbed stage and that's what
Speaker 1: they stomp around in and they fill it with sand
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know, it's really neat. Lots of little
Speaker 1: tricks that you wouldn't think, but yeah, they've figured out
Speaker 1: how to do over time, you know. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: love that they have attached the word artist to that title.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really appropriate. I think. Karen petrick Um,
Speaker 1: she actually just posted a meme of the chest waxing
Speaker 1: scene in forty year Old Virgin Great, great scene because
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Carrell got really he really got wax there. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone knows that by now. Oh he did.
Speaker 1: Huh sure that wouldn't fake. You ever got a wax chuck? Uh?
Speaker 1: Em least to do my I'm not the harriest guy
Speaker 1: in the world. Um, but I do have some of
Speaker 1: the neckline creepers. So she used to do my upper
Speaker 1: back occasionally. Uma. But that's when we all cared exactly
Speaker 1: I had it happened once my ex wife was a
Speaker 1: pesthetician and she did it actually just to practice. I
Speaker 1: think that's her guinea pig, and it won fine. I
Speaker 1: definitely don't denvy the ladies that have to do that
Speaker 1: or choose to do it that way, you know, on
Speaker 1: the leg on the reg um. Let me see here,
Speaker 1: Let's do a few more of these funny scenes. Much
Speaker 1: appreciated David for this. By the way, Chrissie Nadine goes
Speaker 1: with Wolf of Wall Street, but not that scene, noal,
Speaker 1: the party scene where DiCaprio does that that kind of
Speaker 1: funky break dance in the tuxedo, you know I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: I think I do that were they're like tossing the
Speaker 1: little people. It's this one right there. Yes, when he's
Speaker 1: doing those moves, that's different thing that is really funny.
Speaker 1: He is so funny in that he is a really
Speaker 1: good physical comedian. I I I'm coming around to like
Speaker 1: in leoh, I love him and people bag on him. Still,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. My whole thing, and I think
Speaker 1: I've told you this is I just always feel like
Speaker 1: he looks too young for the roles he plays. If
Speaker 1: that's not his fault. He's not young anymore. He's properly
Speaker 1: middle aged, but I just think of him as being
Speaker 1: a tiny child. Yeah, because he's got this baby face,
Speaker 1: you know still, you know it's it is we and
Speaker 1: we've all seen him grow up since what was Different
Speaker 1: Strokes it was Family Guy, Family Matters. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: he was when he was a young cartoon on Family
Speaker 1: Guy and grew up into an adult, real human. I
Speaker 1: will say this thing, I'm really the thing that looks
Speaker 1: really cool about Once upon a Time in Hollywood is
Speaker 1: like both he and Brad Pitt have this like grizzled
Speaker 1: leather relook faces. Like it's just very like Steve McQueen
Speaker 1: kind of like it's got that vibe. I really yeah,
Speaker 1: which if you know, you spend time in l A
Speaker 1: and you see those people that are just sun kiss
Speaker 1: for forty years and they have this sort of leathery,
Speaker 1: otherworldly look. Scott Marble says, for me, it's the photograph
Speaker 1: sequence in the credits of The Hangover that was really funny, yep,
Speaker 1: And it was you know, it was a kind of
Speaker 1: the perfect way to in that films the perfob waiting
Speaker 1: the film because that was the Hangover that was the
Speaker 1: part in question, right, Yeah, where or not the hangover
Speaker 1: that was the kind of the blackout period. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you get to see exactly what. Yeah, pretty brilliant.
Speaker 1: It's great. And they were so funny too. I bet
Speaker 1: they had a lot of fun taking those shots. I
Speaker 1: bet uh amna stimilar um. She posted a meme to
Speaker 1: a lot of people are doing that and guts that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Um, Kristen Wig the flight scene in Bridesmaids. Uh,
Speaker 1: when Kristin Wick is not in first class and gets tanked.
Speaker 1: That's right. Oh god, that was so good man. She's funny.
Speaker 1: She is funny. I don't know, if I don't this
Speaker 1: is the right time to bring this up. But really quickly, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, christ and Wig had a film that was
Speaker 1: gonna shoot here in Atlanta, and she pulled it because
Speaker 1: of this horrible heartbeat bill we have going on. I'm
Speaker 1: wondering how that's going to affect our industry. Chuck kind
Speaker 1: of concerned. Yeah, should we talk about that? Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: just briefly. I don't know. I just I think it's
Speaker 1: a big deal. Obviously, it's it's it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: horrible thing to begin with, But I think it's so
Speaker 1: shortsighted of our you know, government to not realize that
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna stand for it, and we're gonna lose,
Speaker 1: We're gonna lose business. Yeah, and that's we've been building
Speaker 1: this for years. It's just so so petty and shortsighted
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to you know, it's it's all
Speaker 1: about like a political ploy to like get Roe v.
Speaker 1: Wade overturned, and I just don't I don't get it, Chuck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is uh, not only is it um dangerous legislation,
Speaker 1: but it's uh, it's embarrassing to be lumped in. Is
Speaker 1: just this backward place. And just so the non Georgians
Speaker 1: out there listening, No, they've done poles in se Georgians
Speaker 1: are pro choice, and we have a governor who is
Speaker 1: literally going against the will of his constituents and saying
Speaker 1: that he is invoking the will of the people and
Speaker 1: it's just not true. Nope, and it's uh, it's really
Speaker 1: it's sad. That's all I'm gonna say. That's all. That's
Speaker 1: all we need to say about that, And that's all
Speaker 1: I have to say about that. Now. I just hope,
Speaker 1: I hope, you know, because money talks so I hope
Speaker 1: that if enough production companies threatened a poll, and it's
Speaker 1: very much a real threat, then maybe something will change.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, we will see. Moving on
Speaker 1: all right, No, we're gonna move on to another movie
Speaker 1: Crusher curated segment. So no, this one has got a
Speaker 1: lot of great feedback. This is for our old friend
Speaker 1: Vanessa Cashman, because I'm not sure if you know this, Knull,
Speaker 1: but a show called Game of Thrones just wrapped up
Speaker 1: more like Game of Groans? Am I right? And uh,
Speaker 1: well go ahead, because this is what I want to
Speaker 1: know as a non watcher. What are your feelings? Um,
Speaker 1: I guess you can spoil. So let's just say, if
Speaker 1: you haven't watched the end of Game of Thrones and
Speaker 1: you and you're going to one day, tune out for
Speaker 1: the next couple of minutes, I'm not even gonna get
Speaker 1: in a specifics. I don't think it's even worth it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna All I'm gonna say is that none
Speaker 1: of the motivations of the characters to do the actions
Speaker 1: that they ended up doing on the show made any sense.
Speaker 1: And the show was built on really intricate character development
Speaker 1: that was very expertly laid over the course of many
Speaker 1: seasons and several most of the most important characters in
Speaker 1: the show just made these bizarre like hell turns in
Speaker 1: the last two or three episodes. But it just reeked
Speaker 1: of desperation. It reeked of let's get this done, let's
Speaker 1: get to a conclusion, let's make it happen, let's get
Speaker 1: these characters from A to X. And there was just
Speaker 1: no in between. And I know, you know, say what
Speaker 1: you all about, George R. Martin, But if these were
Speaker 1: the choices that he actually wanted for these characters, he
Speaker 1: would have devoted a lot of time and inc to
Speaker 1: having it makes sense for them to get to where
Speaker 1: they ultimately got. So I found a couple episodes in
Speaker 1: the last season pretty satisfying, but the last two were
Speaker 1: just head scratchers, And I was just like Jesus, all right,
Speaker 1: So all the criticism that I've read about you feel
Speaker 1: is totally warranted. And what's the deal, George R. Martin
Speaker 1: is still finishing the last book? Is that two books? Dude,
Speaker 1: and so HBO couldn't wait and they just sort of
Speaker 1: went off into their own thing. I thought, what I happened,
Speaker 1: what I have heard is that the show runners for
Speaker 1: A Game of Thrones dB Weisse and David uh Ben
Speaker 1: Benny Off, Yeah, many off Um, they received outlines for
Speaker 1: the character arcs from from Martin from Martin. So that's
Speaker 1: why I'm saying, if the way it ended up going
Speaker 1: was Martin's desire was what he had in mind, he
Speaker 1: I hope he damned well does a better job of
Speaker 1: it than they did, because this didn't make any sense
Speaker 1: in terms of like what you know about these characters
Speaker 1: for them to end up where they ended up. I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna spoil it for anybody because it's just
Speaker 1: you know, watch well. Is it plausible that uh, he
Speaker 1: wanted them to end up there? But in two books
Speaker 1: you can do it in such a way. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It really feels right, That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: because they said to rush it because they had to rush,
Speaker 1: and I think HBO wanted two seasons. But these dudes,
Speaker 1: I think they got a Star Wars franchise or something,
Speaker 1: and it seemed like they were out the door. Seemed
Speaker 1: like they had fucking senior itis on this last season.
Speaker 1: Like seriously, I mean, it's a slog to shoot that
Speaker 1: show I'm sure I listen, I understand that, and I
Speaker 1: and I know that anybody on that worked on that
Speaker 1: show hearing some tool like me criticizing it, you know,
Speaker 1: I understand how much I would make you want to
Speaker 1: punch me in the face. But think about it from
Speaker 1: like how good the previous seasons were and how earned
Speaker 1: every character arc felt, and then for them to just
Speaker 1: kind of rush it out like that, I felt like
Speaker 1: it was kind of a an insult to the characters
Speaker 1: and the show, into the people that spent so many
Speaker 1: years years show No, because that's just idiotic. What They're
Speaker 1: not going to rewrite the last season. But it's a statement.
Speaker 1: But and again I'm not like dying on this hill
Speaker 1: or anything. I was just personally disappointed, and I think
Speaker 1: that's my right to be disappointed. And the craftsmen and
Speaker 1: women and people and that worked on the show genius beautiful,
Speaker 1: beautifully shot, beautiful visual. The writing just not very good.
Speaker 1: Actually was just fine. It just I don't know, it
Speaker 1: just really took a nose dive in quality and you
Speaker 1: could sense the rush, you could smell the desperation. All right,
Speaker 1: thanks for that take? Very valuable? Was it hot? Hot take?
Speaker 1: It was a hot but it's a it's a good stuff.
Speaker 1: So Vanessa said, this was after the ending. She said,
Speaker 1: just curious, what TV series do you think actually had
Speaker 1: a good and satisfying ending. It's tough to wrap up
Speaker 1: a TV series. It's hard. Yeah, Um, I've got a
Speaker 1: few that I can think of. Uh, the ending too,
Speaker 1: breaking bad, in great, incredible, really good finale in final
Speaker 1: season I think earned everything that happened to that character.
Speaker 1: You were like, oh, yes, that makes sense, and there's twists,
Speaker 1: and even the twists makes sense, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like all of it. The thing felt just so you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that the Seinfeld ending always got a lot of grief,
Speaker 1: and I think that is because Seinfeld was a show
Speaker 1: that was impossible to end satisfyingly. But that show are
Speaker 1: you going to end that show? How? And how are
Speaker 1: you gonna rag on them from having a quote unquote
Speaker 1: satisfying ending. It's not like there's a bunch of storylines
Speaker 1: you have to wrap up. They just have to have
Speaker 1: it be interesting and kind of like a little bit unusual. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this they did the sitcom ending. The I mean,
Speaker 1: they're totally different types of shows obviously than something like
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. That's a hot take. Seinfeld different than
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones big time, very much. But now the
Speaker 1: old you know, multi camera stage sitcom, how you generally
Speaker 1: wrap those up is with all the characters move on
Speaker 1: to some new thing in their life that is very
Speaker 1: uh um, gives everyone hope or a warm feeling. You
Speaker 1: couldn't do that with Seinfeld. Why they wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: with Seinfeld is a very kind of nihilistic, Like Jerry
Speaker 1: and Elaine end up together, like that's what a normal
Speaker 1: show might do. You just couldn't do that with It's
Speaker 1: not that kind of show. So just a couple of taps,
Speaker 1: you know what, the office, not the ending, but the
Speaker 1: Steve Carrell's final episode one of the best episodes of
Speaker 1: TV I've ever seen, very good. And then jeez, the
Speaker 1: show just kind of wasn't great after that. No, it wasn't,
Speaker 1: but it also but it had some moments. It had,
Speaker 1: like some bright moments. I really like Robert California played
Speaker 1: by James Spader. I didn't watch much. Man drifted in
Speaker 1: and out after Carilla, and then it's like, ind just
Speaker 1: elba is in it for a little bit, and uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't see any episode, Will Farrell plays David Brent's
Speaker 1: immediate replacement, not David Brant was his name on the show,
Speaker 1: Michael Scott's immediate replacement for a couple eisodes. It's very funny.
Speaker 1: H jeez, I don't know if I watched it at all. No,
Speaker 1: after he left, Parks and Wreck had a nice ending,
Speaker 1: a really heartwarming and also quite funny ending where it
Speaker 1: was like the future. Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's see what the movie crushers have to say.
Speaker 1: B J Lynda says, mash uh Casey, Robert says um,
Speaker 1: Robert y'all says Parks and Wreck and Glee, Dean Pickett
Speaker 1: breaking bad, JJ Verbino six ft under. Oh yeah, man, dude,
Speaker 1: what a great what a crusher? Oh see a song.
Speaker 1: I'm like starting to get misty just thinking about that.
Speaker 1: I have lost God. You know. I live kitty corner
Speaker 1: to a funeral home. Um my home is across well
Speaker 1: kitty corner from and it looks sort of like the
Speaker 1: Fisher House is kind of the one you're talking big
Speaker 1: on Memorial Drive. That's where I love and always gives
Speaker 1: me pleasant feelings because I think because they also have
Speaker 1: a second house, and I think of Claire living upstairs
Speaker 1: of that second house that show Rex me dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love David k. Gwen Vaughan says New Heart, great ending.
Speaker 1: Juan Casta Nata says, Sons of Anarchy. I never saw that.
Speaker 1: I watched it for a while, but I fell off. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Dave Priest, who supplied us with our previous post, said
Speaker 1: Saint Elsewhere, certainly a great, great ending. Old you did
Speaker 1: you know that show? Seeing also was a hospital show
Speaker 1: in the Jesus guess what was the eighties? And um
Speaker 1: it in Well, I'm not gonna spoil it. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spoil it. If you are going to go back
Speaker 1: and watching Elter, everyone, don't listen to this next bit.
Speaker 1: At the Endnal the son of one of I believe
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this wrong. It's gonna go in corrections corner,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyway. I believe the son
Speaker 1: of one of the doctors who has autism. The very
Speaker 1: last shots of the show are of the hospital, and
Speaker 1: then it pulls back to reveal that this boy is
Speaker 1: this hospital is in a snow globe that this boy
Speaker 1: is staring at, with the implication that this whole thing
Speaker 1: has been in his imagination. It's all a dream sort
Speaker 1: of but enough of a spin on that. But it
Speaker 1: was clever that it was clever. I think so interesting
Speaker 1: because you know that's a big trope. Of course it
Speaker 1: is weird. Is it a weird show? Now? It's not
Speaker 1: weird at all? What the fuck? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: typing in saying? Elsworth finale, the last one is what
Speaker 1: it's called. All right, here we go from Vulture on
Speaker 1: the thirtieth anniversary from last year says one of the
Speaker 1: most famous endings of all in all of television. Um
Speaker 1: Doctor Westfall watches his son with autism, Tommy stare at
Speaker 1: a snow globe that he gazes at all day long.
Speaker 1: What's he thinking about? He asked? Uh. Then the boy
Speaker 1: puts the snow globe down to prepare for bed, and
Speaker 1: the camera slowly zooms into the snow globe to reveal
Speaker 1: miniature version of St. Eligis Hospital. To make things weirder,
Speaker 1: the characters weren't the characters anymore. Westfall was now a
Speaker 1: construction worker rather than a doctor. Oh that's right, and
Speaker 1: sat aligas Dr Auschlander, who had died earlier in the
Speaker 1: episode was alive and well and was suddenly Tommy's grandfather. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's crazy, that is crazy. It seems a little lot
Speaker 1: of left field, though, totally. That's the point. What was
Speaker 1: the what was the public outcry? Alright, the public reaction? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean there was no social media, so who fucking knows.
Speaker 1: That's fair back in the good old days when everyone's
Speaker 1: opinions were just inside their own homes. Alright. Paul Armstrong says,
Speaker 1: Halt and Catch Fire. I have not seen it. The
Speaker 1: Hacker show, I think yeah, good ending apparently. Brian Stephen says, uh,
Speaker 1: the wire Cheers, Breaking Bad and Madman Boy, the end
Speaker 1: of mad Men was great. You know I never finished Madman.
Speaker 1: Great ending. Okay, let's check it out. Well, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna spoil it for you. Jane Dia says, the
Speaker 1: Americans don't watch it. Emily loves it, though. Uh. Stacy
Speaker 1: Coglin says Battlestar Galactica hands down one of the best,
Speaker 1: most well constructed series of all times. Um, Sarah Stanislaft
Speaker 1: another vote for six ft under our old friend Mark
Speaker 1: no X's Game of Thrones. Crazy talk. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: you know, my friend Melissa saw her over the weekend.
Speaker 1: She said that she liked it. I actually read a
Speaker 1: piece in defense of it on some site I can't remember, uh,
Speaker 1: and it made some good points. But no, man, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just felt rushed and weird. I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: maybe the actual end points the characters reached made sense
Speaker 1: if they had been handled differently. Yeah, it's a little
Speaker 1: more development, a little more like, you know, earning of
Speaker 1: the of the choices they made. I hear you. That's
Speaker 1: a big big thing, earning, earning your arc. Adam practed
Speaker 1: our old friends, says Homicide Life on the Street Um
Speaker 1: Alexander J. Reichert says, unpopular opinion here. But lost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's an unpopular opinion. Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: just wasn't very good. I mean, they my my theory
Speaker 1: n lost, and I don't think I'm alone in this,
Speaker 1: But my theory and lost is that they wrote themselves
Speaker 1: into a corner um or maybe it's better said this way.
Speaker 1: They wrote checks that their butts couldn't cash. Totally. I
Speaker 1: don't think they really knew, like, oh geez, they're a
Speaker 1: lot of things to tie up here, and we just
Speaker 1: can't do it. And the thing is too. Like I
Speaker 1: when I was watching that show, I I kind of
Speaker 1: was under the impression that they really had the whole
Speaker 1: thing laid out, that they knew what they were doing,
Speaker 1: that they weren't dropping red herrings left and right, and
Speaker 1: then I was gonna get some kind of satisfaction. And
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people felt that way too.
Speaker 1: So when it was so unsatisfying and almost and literally
Speaker 1: broke their own promise that they made where they said
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be this thing, I found that
Speaker 1: a little bit irritating. But here's another thing that chuck.
Speaker 1: If you enjoyed a show and you enjoy the ride
Speaker 1: and then the finale sucks, does that diminish your entire
Speaker 1: experience of the show? Do you throw the show under
Speaker 1: the bus because they wrote a check that there you
Speaker 1: know they couldn't cash. Mm hmm. Well what's your take
Speaker 1: on Game of Thrones. I think it's a great show
Speaker 1: that had a very poor last season. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's the That's where I am. Um. I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: loss for a long time. I was way away into it.
Speaker 1: I was on those boards, dude, I was trying to
Speaker 1: figure out the numbers and all that ship. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't maybe a little bit of a diminishing
Speaker 1: because like you, I'm like, uh, kind of just disappointed
Speaker 1: in like you feel strung along a little bit, especially
Speaker 1: with loss. That's right, That's right, Like, oh, you didn't
Speaker 1: know what you were doing the whole time, not that
Speaker 1: that that's harsh to say. You didn't have, like have
Speaker 1: a grand plan, which I think is what Breaking Bad did.
Speaker 1: It's very clear that it did. Yeah. And that's how
Speaker 1: you keep yourself from having that, That's how you keep
Speaker 1: from writing yourself into a corner is by having it
Speaker 1: all at least fleshed out in outline form. You know,
Speaker 1: at least you know the main beats that everything is
Speaker 1: gonna hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and then you don't have
Speaker 1: to just like improvise kind of you know. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: Kieran Gandhi says Firefly with the Serenity film. You know, No,
Speaker 1: I was late to Firefly and then, uh, quite a
Speaker 1: few years ago, so many people had talked about it
Speaker 1: that I finally went and't watched at all, and oh
Speaker 1: did I love it? Did you watch? Bart's really good?
Speaker 1: It's so great. It's really good acting, good writing, nice adventure,
Speaker 1: very fun, funny everything about It's cool. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a more interesting Star Trek. Well, I don't know Star Trek,
Speaker 1: but Star Trek is just so dull to me. I mean, I,
Speaker 1: like I said, I get why people like it, but
Speaker 1: to me, Firefly has it ticks all the boxes that
Speaker 1: Star Trek ticks, but it's got more dynamic kind of
Speaker 1: you know, citing performances and stuff. Yeah, and Serenity was
Speaker 1: great too. Agreed, totally. Derek Speedy says Scrubs, the show
Speaker 1: I never saw apparently had a good ending. Sarah Jayan
Speaker 1: says e Er Raleigh Bartholomew says Psych. I don't know
Speaker 1: that show. No, Psych. Isn't that with Tony Shalub? Oh?
Speaker 1: Is it friend of the show? I think so? No, No,
Speaker 1: it's not. Never mind, I'm thinking of Monk. But it's
Speaker 1: about like, uh, it's sort of about are they like
Speaker 1: ghost hunters or something? What do they do? I was
Speaker 1: based on the hit nineteen eighties TV series Moonlighting. What
Speaker 1: That's what it says on Wikipedia. It's a detective comedy drama.
Speaker 1: All right, I see here partially inspired by Moonlighting? Got
Speaker 1: it all right? Interesting? Um? Justified? That's from Christine Cunningham
Speaker 1: watched season one of that and really enjoyed it, and
Speaker 1: it just sort of forgot about it. I think I
Speaker 1: watched the whole thing, really, I think I did. I
Speaker 1: really like what's his name, the sheriff from Deadwood to
Speaker 1: me to the old Timothy Oliphant. And I also really
Speaker 1: like Walton Goggins. He's a great god. He's read nicky
Speaker 1: loony tune. He's awesome. He is awesome. I can watch
Speaker 1: him anything. Did you watch Vice Principles? Oh? God, no,
Speaker 1: he'd love it. Yeah, you know it's Danny h McBride, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Walton Guwkins just sort of at each other as
Speaker 1: enemies and then eventually his allies. It's so good. I
Speaker 1: just remembered. I just saw coming back to me. I
Speaker 1: first saw Walton Goggins as like the loose cannon like
Speaker 1: ship bag cop in that show The Shield. Oh. I
Speaker 1: never saw a guy who was Yeah, what's the actors,
Speaker 1: Michael checklist? Checklists. That's a good one, chicklets exactly. Um.
Speaker 1: Walton Goggins has one of the best uh fox in
Speaker 1: TV and film. When he when he says the F word,
Speaker 1: when he drops an F bomb, Knoll, it's just there's
Speaker 1: something about it the way he enunciates that f it's
Speaker 1: always really really powerful. Hats off to him for that.
Speaker 1: We should have a up with Fuck thing dedicated to
Speaker 1: Walton Goggins. Love that do with super Cut. Maggie Burne says,

Speaker 1: series Finelli of all time ever? Hard to argue. Jacob
Speaker 1: Thompson says. Thompson says the Sopranos, which I know that
Speaker 1: got a lot of heat for that ending. Don't stop?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna finish? That's how it's That's how it stops.
Speaker 1: Oh did you say believing? No, it ends it with
Speaker 1: don't Stop. I knew it ended with that song, but
Speaker 1: I didn't know it cut it off like and it
Speaker 1: goes to black. That's the whole deal. Like Tony's in
Speaker 1: there with his family, he's looking around. He's not particularly
Speaker 1: paranoid exactly, but everyone in there could be your potential,
Speaker 1: you know, a whacker. Uh. And the fact that I
Speaker 1: think it's brilliant, the fact that you don't see it happen,
Speaker 1: that it could happen. Then it could happen anytime. You know,
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna live his life. Look over his shoulder.
Speaker 1: But you know that that prequels coming out soon with

Speaker 1: Jonathan B. Williams, I'm glad he mentioned this one. This
Speaker 1: is a great, great show that I think wasn't a

Speaker 1: So good, and the ending to that was so good.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we've talked about that show before,
