Felicia Day • Films To Be Buried With with Brett Goldstein #276

The girl is only films to be buried with. Hello, and welcome to films to be buried with. My name is Brett Goldstein. I'm a comedian, an actor, a writer, a director, a thief in the night, and I love films. As Frank Sinatra once said, the big lesson in life, baby is never be scared of anyone or anything except hereditary. That one really shited me up. Wow, can't blame the old crooner. There is a scary film. Every week I invite a special guest over. I tell them they've died.

Yay. You know, honestly, I just wanted to I wanted to be in the Guinness Book of world records with the number of hyphens in my biography, and I think I'm getting up there.

I'm getting there.

I'll be honest with you. I always try and like add when I have guests on and I'll say, like, you know, a person who walks down the street, I'll try and build things so that they have more hyphens. With you, I didn't have enough breath for all the hyphens.

No, you're you're a classically trained actor. You have all the breath in the world. I know.

I mean I'm not, and I don't, but thank you. How's it going? See? How are you? Where are you?

I live in Los Angeles and it is it's really nice here right now it's like seventy two degrees. But I'm about to go to Hawaii tomorrow, so I'm really rubbing it in today. I'm sorry you what?

Why holiday? What do you say?

Well, I'm in a show called Supernatural and sometimes we do conventions with the cast, so we're doing that so it's kind of work but not really. And then the week after that, I'm going to Costa Rica, So can I be a bigger dick? Right now?

You're right? This is great? Sorry, your life is so I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you. This is good. So you You are a hero to many people, including some people that I work with, who say that you inspired them to do everything that they do because you started. You just made your own shit, built a whole series, wrote, directed, created it, made it a hit, did everything.

That's amazing. So somebody, that's how I got on here because I knew somebody who liked my work that works with you. That's really neat. I appreciate that they were.

They were bigging you up so much, and they were like, you have to you have to check out all that stuff, and I'm sorry that I didn't. I'm not so big in the gaming one thing that that, and I didn't

Oh yeah, we shot it in a closet with like a two hundred dollar camera and one hundred dollars and then for six years we wrote and I didn't direct, I did produce everything. I kind of show ran the whole thing. And we did six seasons over six years. And yeah, it is really different because we got actual budget, but it was still only the budget of.

A very very very very like indie movie.

Like it's like maybe the craft service budget of an actual television show. So you never had money, and we always shot it in my house, but we had millions of fans all over the world, which is really exciting. So yeah, I appreciate that.

It's so cool and it's everything I admire. I like people who just fucking get it done. I love it.

I explain it well. I mean, you're not a stranger to Hollywood, and you know how long it takes to get anything made, if it ever gets it's like one percent of things ever get made, and even if you're paid for it and never gets seen. And that is so frustrating to me. I hate it. And that's you know, why I've done this audible project we'll eventually talk about, and why I do graphic novels and I stream I just like making stuff and like every time I get into that cycle of like, let's adapt to my p

Agreed, I just want to make shit. I agree. What is your audible thing? This is your latest thing? What is this? What is this?

It's a television show I wanted to make. I pitched no one wanted it, and I was like, you're not telling me I can't make it. So I basically found someone audible to help me make it into the television show I always dreamed about. So it's about it's like a fantasy comedy. It's about a chosen one who fails and kind of like fifteen years later gets a world blown up when this girl enters it and sort of makes her reevaluate her past and like create this much

That's side. So congratulations.

I was intimidated to come on this podcast because I know it's about film, and I feel like I had a kid like six years ago, and I have not been keeping up with my film and I was like, oh, he's a fancy film guy.

He's gonna like be upset.

I haven't seen Raging Bull lately like he's I was very intimidated.

Did you listen to an episode and go, oh no, he likes Grease too. It's still going to be fine.

Yes, my expectations were brought down. But like you know, you have a fancy name, you look fancy. I just assume you're going to be a film you know, aficionado, and I'm certainly not that person. So I appreciate you being a little bit on my level.

Oh I'm a dummy, don't worry about that now. So have you only watched kids films the last six years or no films?

I would say kids films? I mean I will listen. Frozen one and two bring me to tears every time I watched them. Okay, Maana when she walks toward Taffiti like, I'm just you know, it's lady empowerment time.

I'm just very excited.

But yeah, I haven't. I mean, listen, I'm not going to pay one hundred dollars to pay a sitter to watch my kids so I can watch a movie.

Felicia, What I've forgotten to tell you something? What what I forgot to tell you, Felicia is that you've died. You're dead? Oh? No, yeah, you're dead.

Who's depressing?

Is it depressing? I guess it is. You've got a fuck loads of stuff you still need to do? How did you die? I guess is the real question here?

All right?

My death? Did it happen right now? Or can it happen in the future, because.

I do stop to it kind happened right, Yeah, it's.

After my kid has grown up. Okay, eighteen, so this is like eighteen.

Listen, No, listen, with all due respect, I think you're still fucking your kid up. You're doing at eighteen?

Okay? What age is going to be? The age which I'm not a kid up.

There's no good age. But you're now saying let's just let her finish go.

She's twenty five, you're still sucking her up.

Well, okay, listen, I don't know do you have children, Like.

No, But I'm aware of what happens, right, I mean, twenty five is back than eighteen.

Yeah, okay, twenty she's twenty five. I'm thirty again. I'm still thirty, okay, okay, And I'm like, well, my dream is at a certain point. My kid is at the house and I just sell everything and I just wander the world.

So I got nothing, I own.

Nothing, and I'm just like airbnbing myself around the world a month here, a month there. So basically, I decide to go and commune with the animals in a jungle somewhere, maybe the rainforest or in India. And I get mold by a tiger. Okay, but it's quick, it's not that painful. They go for the throat first. I'm dead very fast, and then I feed the world with my corpse and that's how I die.

Okay, where were you when this tiger molded very quickly?

Let's just say India. You know, it's like a bad. You know, yeah, maybe life was really not the anti life of.

Pipes somewhere in India. You get mold by a tiger and then you feed the world. So we're discovering that you're quite enormous at this age.

Yeah. Well, you know, I love to eat and at that point I won't be an actor and I'll have to stay a certain weight.

So beyond mobidly at base you're like big.

I transform it a guy you are by gold unit.

All right, you get mob bi. I mean impressed the tiger can get near jugular or something. But the tiger did.

They climb me like a mountain?

Yeah? Yeah, pretty may. I mean that's a pretty big gift to the world.

So it sounds like Me and Zaka film.

Yeah, it's like really impressive to the sequel Felicia. Okay, so that's good. That's a good way to die. You did. You did good with your buddy. I mean, at the same time, you probably to have got that size. You've used up in an awful lot of resources, so I think it's probably just balanced out. You're feeding them out after it.

It's all recycling, right, it just.

Goes back into the Yeah, okay, do you worry about death, Felicia, Do you worry about dying.

Only when I go through an airport scanner.

For some reason, I'm always worrying that when I go through the scanner the airport, like a tumor is popping up somewhere inside. That's my flight anxiety.

I thought you meant that you got through the scanner and they and they tell you you've got kinds of they have a side they got seen.

No, no, no, no, it's been ever. They're like, oh, we saw a growth. That would be horrible. Now I get like I got hypochondria. I got a little bit of hypochondria, but not in the air. I know that I'm helpless in the air, so I don't actually get nervous while flying. It's just going through the airport scanner and the bag scanner.

I'm like, there's something coming through here.

So, yeah, what do you think happens when you die?

Do you think, no, we're just meat, We're just meet and we're doing you.

Are when you die? Yeah? Yeah, he certainly are for the entire world. So you think that there's nothing just fang blackout in your consciousness?

Nothing, I don't think. So, I mean, really, where's the evidence of anything. Where's the evidence of anything? I mean, it's nice to think of. I mean, I feel like there's a lot of maybe like undetectable energy, like you know, intuition and stuff like that. But then now scientists are saying that it's just like really fast microcomputing in.

Your brain, and I don't know.

I'd like to think there's something more, but i'd like to I think it's maybe like an amorphous life force that we're like we go back in the bin and somebody gets a little bit of it, So not really reincarnation, but like everybody gets everybody's in a life pool and you get a little body and then you got to put it back in the pool and it goes other places.

Well, so in the same way that your buddy having been mob bid, it feeds the earth. You think you're so your consciousness bits of that guide to everyone else as well.

In the poll, Yeah, that would be my ideal. So you're not like hanging on to your past, like you're not like a continuous being, but you're at least feeding the existence of everything. I don't know. That would be.

Nice so much so someone gets your good bits and someone else gets your bad bits, and it spreads around a bit, so it's almost a lottery of which bit of which person you're getting.

Yeah, it makes a whole person, yeah, or like not a person an aunt. I mean, we're all life forces, you know. Not I should be a vegetarian with this philosophy. I am not, but I should theoretically be because it could be my grandma eaten you know.

Yeah, it could be. But your grandma could also be a plan. You don't know, it's true.

Also, I would want to be eaten.

Put me to use, you know, like I don't understand about embalming your body and like sticking you in a coffin and you're like you're completely cut off from like what made you just throw me in the ground man?

Yeah? Well, and by ground, do you mean into the tiger's den?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly where you.

Can be eaten. Yeah, just throw you in.

The mixer, yeah, exactly, like a composter, you know. Yeah, grind me up. Yeah, lovely, lovely. It's a very good point.

Yeah that is. I mean, what is the point of keeping it with their dead buddies?

I don't know. I don't get it. I think it's a waste of time every time I see. You know, I just was in Copenhagen and they turned a huge cemetery in the middle of town into a park, and I was like, this is lovely because people can sit and go through and they can be like, hey, look it's Bobby.

He died a hundred years ago. I wonder what that guy was about.

So so what the park? Does it still have headstones when they get rid of the headstone?

No, there's news, there's new headstones.

There are people being buried there now. But then you could just kind of wander through and like sit and have picnic and see people's gravestones.

Interesting, Yeah, why not? I don't know.

Maybe it's a space thing. It's taking up a lot of space. Yeah, it's a lot of space. Like ever keep it in la a lot. But they're like that one cemetery that's near the zoo and it's like eight forever. Yeah, it's like hundreds of acres of just you know green.

I'm like, this is a waste. Put a playground in there.

You know, the golf course on this exactly. It's a new kind of dog. You're gonna dodge around the two.

Yeah, then it's like minigolf meats big golf because you've got to navigate their headstoves. It's quite a good idea.

I would put a windmill of her mind. There would be a gooftah.

That's a great idea. Well, I got news for you, Felicia Day. Okay, there is a heaven. There is a heaven, and you're welcome there. Actually, and it's filled with your favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?

If it's not my daughter, it's video games, So.

It's video games. Quick question on your video games thing. Because in the beginning of the guild and in an interview I reviewed, is just talk of like addiction and whatever. Are you still addicted to video guys? How is your relationship with video games love of your life? A problem? Where are you at? No?

No, no, I monetize my hobby. I'd stream on Twitch so that and I monetize it only to justify being away from my kid because it's a quote unquote job. And sometimes you know, I'm like, oh, I'm keeping up by gaming profile so that sometimes I get sponsorship or like you know, brand deals or whatever. But really it's

That's why I don't keep sproaming these as much.

That's fair, all right, Well, your heaven is filled with video games. Every room is a video game. Sometimes you're in the video game, sometimes you're sitting playing the video game. Sometimes you're just watching the video game. But it's got all the kinds that you could love and enjoy it. They're everywhere and everyone there is either a character from a video game that you like or someone that you

Okay, the first film I remember seeing is Bamby And when the mom died it was trauma.

Yeah, trauma and you want to be dead at eighteen when you're kids eighteen, haven't seen Baby? I don't.

It's not seen Bamby. No, No, I mean it's horrible. It's the worst thing in the world. I'm like, how is this okay? But I don't know. If you've read a lot of like nineteen cent tree literature for kids, you know it's all about orphans.

You know, yeah, Old Disney, Harry Potter, Everyone's it's the dream, isn't it.

It's the dream to get rid of those parents at a very young age and be on your own. Man. It really is the Orphan Dream, but for Bamby see, I'm I anthropomorphize animals in cinema to the point where I actually can't watch them. Like remember the King Kong movie where they went to the island and they it was the Peter Jackson one. It was probably like ten

And this is as a very adult woman.

So like when there's an animal Baker reel on screen, I cannot deal. And I think it's all rooted in the trauma of seeing Barbie. I mean, not Barbie bad Bambe way too early bar Barbie.

Too oh man. I mean yeah, it's very true, bag And it's funny. I always mentioned this on the podcast, but I just go. I recorded this with my friend Richien Kind and say, and she said something. I think she was talking about Bambi, but like she said, you read all these things where it's like it's actually good for children to watch these films because it prepares them for death or something like that. And she said when her dad died that she never thought for a second.

Yes, and Dumbo is just as traumatic.

Forget it, dum forget it.

No cheers everywhere. So yeah, now that's that's the first movie I remember seeing. I mean, I don't remember ever enjoy. I'm the kind of person who always remembers the bad things in life, so like, I don't remember like, oh, I had such a pleasurable time at this I remember the trauma of each trying to be captured. And I remember like my mom taking me to Aliens and being so traumatized that I just sat in the lobby the whole time, where she was like get out. You know,

Well all right, and what about the film that scared you the Mice? Do you like me scared? No? So? Do you not like scary video games? Betty? Scary games? Oh?

No?

No?

I scream no. You know what. I have a very high fight or flight response, which is why I'm so bad at auditions. I just run screaming from any situation where people are judging me. So I do not have the tolerance for it, so I don't watch any scary films at all. And I guess the scariest was Aliens because I was so terrified and it was in a dark theater and I was probably like I don't know, nine, or you know, maybe even younger, like seven or eight.

It was too early, too early.

You shouldn't be at the cinema watching Aliens at seven, ye.

So yeah, that was definitely the scariest.

I think I saw a little bit of like Jason, you know, I remember seeing the guy with the ski mask and just you know, being traumatized by that and having that haunt my dreams, thinking that he was in my dreams. I watched probably like fifteen minutes that when I was too young. So yeah, as an adult, I really do shelter myself from all trauma because everything scares me.

Why that's not my entertainment.

Fact? I mean, is there is there? Is there anything in Again, I'm taking this off the guild, but the fake worlds of video games versus real word. I've played some video games and video guys, but I've never done the I've never tried it. It's no judgment as in I've just never done it. I don't know warcraft thing where you're fully a character and you exist in as well and you're meeting people and stuff like that. Is

Oh for sure, Oh for sure.

I mean you can.

There are co op.

Games where you can play terrifying games, and I've been terrified by them. So having my friends with me didn't make me less terrified. There was a ghost eating me. But like there are I love playing co op games with my friends where we're just kind of hanging out and we're doing stuff together. Like I'm playing a game called My Time at sand Rock and it's like a

Yeah, you to have a fun. That's so nice. And when you're talking, you're just talking about your life's talking about today. You're not just talking about we need to get a truck.

Yeah, well we're screaming at each other that we don't have enough wood to build this thing, and like you need to go solve this quest while I do this. But yeah, we're chatting. I mean I play a lot of Fortnite too, which I never oh yeah yeah, and you just kind of like jump out and you just shop. You know, you're shopping and you're getting good outfits and you're you're shopping for guns, and then you're maybe killing as many people as you can. It's so fun.

Yeay, killing them in their fun sweet way, right, Yeah, it's so sweet. Yeah. What about crying? Are you a crier? What is the film that made you cry the most? Oh?

God, all right, I will tell you it's a terrible, terrible I mean again, we talk about King Kong, so that's traumatic crying. Right. I had to walk out a Babe Pig in the City because that was also a traumatizing film for me. Yeah, I mean that's that film with the fire. Are you do you remember that film? That is a stressful film, yeah, too stressful. But the one that made me dry heave and I just literally was like snot everywhere was a terrible movie called My Life.

And I think Michael Keaton was in it.

Ah My life with Nicole Gibbon, where he's recording videos for their baby because he's dying, and so the whole film of videos he's making for his kid that hasn't been born yet. About that, yeah, fuck in my life. I forgot about that.

It was literally just made to ring you out, like there's no other function for that movie, like let's just traumatize, like not trauma, but just like let's get every tear out of this per it was and I saw it with my mom and it was just like traumatic. I mean it's it's like the first ten minutes of Up.

But spread over an hour forty five.

Yeah, oh god, it's so traumatic.

I forgot about my life. Respect for bringing that up. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a good I mean, is it good? I don't remember it being good. Yeah, So did you think do you think My Life was a good movie? Like, I don't think it was reviewed, like this is an eternal I don't think did it win anything?

Probably not, Like it was just.

I think, but it was a sort of film they don't make anymore. It was like a Hollywood film that was a weepye that was like from mid budget. It was good. Yeah, I think it was a good film, good sid film. And I think it was the guy I got a memory for this stuff and nothing else. The guy who directs it, writes it, I think is the guy who wrote Ghost, the film Ghost.

Oh so he was like a weepy special he liked.

Yeah, he likes death and stuff. Yeah. Wow, I mean I think it's probably a good film, solid film, good solid. Yeah, as far as I remember.

Bruce Joel Rubin Bruce Joel, he's a meditation teacher and photographer, so he is like.

Here, he's indeed, he's in. Did he write Guys?

He tell you where we went? He wrote Ghost. The last thing he wrote was Ghosts the musical. Did he pass Away? No, he's still alive. He's just chilling. He's like, I did it. Well. He also, I'm sorry. He also wrote Deep Impact, which feels not on brand fast.

Ah well yeah, no. Deep Impact is all about death with the father and daughter holding each other while the big wave hits them.

Oh yeah, you're right. That's the that's I got the Crater.

Movies mixed up. Okay, yes, there were two.

That yeah, yeah, no, how I get it.

Yeah?

What is the film that you love? It is not critically acclaimed, most people don't like it, but you love it unconditionally.

Oh wow, this is really hard because, as you know or may not know, I'm in Mystery Science Theater three thousand and I loved Mystery Science Theater three thousands. So there are so many bad films that I love, and I kind of love that films I used to. I got my start in the film business in Austin volunteerings for film festivals like south By Southwest and Great Austin Screenwriting Festivals. So I've seen my you know, I love how the sausage is made, and I like seeing how

Oh wow, yeah, yeah, why not.

That's a great say yeah that, and I will say Underworld with Kate Uscottsdale is one of my favorite movies.

Underworlde one of twenty or something.

One or twenty, I don't care. I don't know. It was kind of my dream. I was like, should I get a boob and a nose job and try to be in one of these movies as an extra? I was like, could I do it? But I'm not Eastern European enough or something like, it's not gonna happen. But anyway, I love it. I love the everything about the outfits. I love the vampire lore, I love the style, I love the fighting.

Right, it's great. I don't know.

Just if they did a TV show, I really would be like, get me in there. I want to be the person who loads me. I want to be the cue for the Underworld world. All right, I'll be the one who loads everybody's daggers. Yes, give them some.

I'll give him some gadgets.

Yeah, thank you, I'm going to Actually.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

On the other hand, what is a film that you used to love, you loved it very much, but you've watched it recently and you thought I like this no more.

Oh boy, well I think that could be any like eighties comedy. You know you watch like the Porky's and you're like, oh oh oh yeah.

No, yeah, it doesn't hold up. It don't hold up.

It really doesn't. Eighties comedies. I'm problematic now. Yeah.

Yeah, And you know it's it's a whole new world. You know, it's very interesting how like sexuality, like it was okay, like is it is it the sexuality that makes me a comment? No, it's just like the way theyproach the sexuality.

But like, I think we could use more liberated boobs in movies.

So agreed, Yeah, let's just get them out, but let's get them out in a more respectful way. So yeah, I regret so much I didn't get him out earlier in my life and I breastfood, so it's not happening now.

But yeah, yeah, you're right, because it's about how it's approached them. Yeah, it's always weird. But there's so many EGS comedies where it's.

Like ha ha ha.

Hit some boobs ha ha.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's built very male, gayzy and always very jiggly, and like I think there's like a. There's an area between that and Lena Dunnoman girls, Like, there's something in between them we can get into, you know. Yeah, there's something you can do with the lighting. You know, let's celebrate the body without objectifying it, and we don't have to really like, oh, that's what that looks like on a bad Monday, you know, not talking about her body.

Yeah, yeah, lazy love that show. What is the film that means the mice to you? Not necessarily the film itself is any good, but because the experience you had around seeing the film will always make it special to you for this shit day.

Okay, well this is kind of like my favorite film area, so I'll go ahead and just throw it in. Because when I was a child, I was homeschooled and I never left my house.

I had no friends, no birthday parties, nothing.

My mom homeschooled me, but it was really just like shut the door, we don't go out until we go to ballet class. So I had no concept of what other children liked or appreciated or liked in other people. So I would do a little bit of work on my own, you know, like a wolf. I'd be like, oh, I should learn some math today, you know, and then I would watch AMC all day. So like I never

Oh wow, that's very interesting.

Yeah, so my favorite movie, and I had it on a VHS tape. You guys, this is a format that you've probably never seen because we didn't have any fancy stuff for a long time. I had Bringing Up Baby starring Kry Grant and Catherine Hepburn, on a VHS type and I played it so many times I wore out the tape and I had to throw it away because it broke. And that is my favorite film. And that's this film that I would watch, I'm not kidding two

What's your theory and why that went. Why did that, you know changed?

It's very interesting. I think the fifties came in and women got oppressed a lot after the war was over. You know, they were kind of put in their place and whom the men came back and shoved them into more of a home role, and the ideal of a woman became very like, we need women to get back

I don't think. Well, I think there are there are, there are examples I could counter with, but I think it's definitely true. There isn't a huge wave of mainstream Look, there isn't a huge wave of mainstream cinema that has big comedies anymore at all, Like there aren't of any kind.

No, you're truly right, Yeah, it's mostly TV.

Yeah, yeah, I keep I keep thinking about that. Why there hasn't been big big comedy, even big character comedy. Big character comedy at the cinema seems to have gone. I don't know if he'll come back. I'm sure it will because everything guys in circles, but yeah, that hasn't been maybe like Ace Venture, you know, like a big broad character film. When was the last one?

Yeah, I mean, let's be honest, like, who's a super star woman? Like you're just like like like remember Julia Roberts, like that superstar and Meg Brant, you know, I mean she's still amazing, but like remember like that was a star, a woman's star, and there any comedy women in that vein Nowadays you'd be.

Like she's a star in that world like Center Bullock.

But again, like she's kind of that would be ten years ago, like there were there were those women, Like what's the equivalent nowadays? I don't know. There's amazing actresses, but there's not that kind of comedy right now.

Oh boy, we're gonna fix this.

Let's do it.

Given there, what is the film that you might relate to?

I don't know. I mean I feel like Sleepless in Seattle was also one of my very favorite movies, and Nora Ephron like has something in my heart that is like, oh my god, all of her writing.

I know it's like glossy and not real, but it's.

Like she's amazing.

I know, there's she's got heart and she's got comedy. You know, she has humor and comedy and it's a very female point of view.

But like her point of view is universal, and.

I think it's really hard nowadays where people are like, oh, that's a diverse view, but it's so I don't know, I feel like the female perspective being mainstream is kind of hard now right. It's always like, oh, we're getting that version of it right, versus like everyone's just looking at It's like, yeah, it's a female filmmaker, but it's for everybody. I feel like maybe it's a marketing apartment thing, but yeah, I don't know. She kind of eclipsed all

Yeah, yeah that's interesting. Sleepy's having a fucking amazing, amazing film.

Mush Well. I was in love with Tom Hanks from a very young age. The Man with One Red Shoe, Remember that that was like I had a VHS tape. Those were two VHS tape Bring Up Baby and Man with One Red Shoe.

All Right, Felicia. Here we go. Okay, we have to do it, because this is what a podcast is. What's the sexiest film you've ever seen?

Oh boy, where.

Do we stop?

Yeah, that's a really hard one. Like that's not something I really think about. I mean I saw Emmanuel like wait too early. I was on like late up night and I.

Was like on the double Bell with Aliens.

What it was? It was like late night USA, And of course I wasn't being supervised.

I was like, what is this?

So I guess if you were going to do that. I also remember, like remember the first time I saw another woman's like private part, Like it was it?

I think it's a lady in red with like what was.

That guy with Gene Wader Kelly Brok.

Yeah, she was like naked from the you know, from the and I was like a naked person. That was my first naked person I saw in film, and then I accidentally saw him Manuel. I mean, I think anything with Carrie Grant really full in my boat. There's also a Clive Owen Julia Roberts movie. What was that movie? It was seven that long ago. Yeah, that's a really sexy movie because I just loved them together. I don't know. I wish I could get like, yeah, I can't. I

Yeah. Well there's a sub category to this question. We'll see where this gut says trop boners worrying. Why don't a film you found arousing that you weren't sure you should?

Oh, I don't know if it's it's not film, but I did. I did at one point buy some hentai to be able to spice up my personal life. And I popped it in and it was like about a nurse. But it's you know what hendti is.

Explain what do you mean buying a hentai? What do you mean?

Like hentai is like anime porn. So it's animated porn, you know, from from Japan. So they have categories of hintai. A lot of them have tentacles to do buy it. This was nurse. It was it was like I bought some like for some reason, I went categories. So I bought like nurse teacher, like some really weird you know, adventure elf and so I popped him in did not do anything for my relationship. So here's the here's the story.

There was a cartoon of a nurse having sex.

Well it's more than that. You need to look up henta. I can't believe I'm introducing you a man who has a beard to head tie.

Okay, you're introducing well let's see, well continue please, I mean anyway already.

So stack the stack of hen dye. And I was cleaning my house and I just threw them in a box and I took it to Goodwill, not thinking about it.

And this.

And this gentleman who was probably eighty five years old picks up and it's just a naked animated nurse with her titties out, you know, and kind of a cock coming in on the front. And he was like, oh, oh, I don't think we can take this man.

And I was like, oh no, I'm so sorry. He's like, I'll take it.

He took it, He took the whole stack.

I was so flustered.

Go ahead, good for him.

You know you're gonna Goodwill.

You get a little bonus.

Yeah, what is objectively the greatest film of old time? Minde your favorite, but it's the greatest.

This is hard because I did and I don't know if we'll get to it, but I don't know.

This is hard.

I mean, Carsablanca, Godfather. You know, you walk away from these things like amazing. But I kind of like Hard Boiled starting Chelium, Fat Joe. That's one of my favorite movies, and I think it's the most incredible movie. And I'll watch that movie over and over again. I love it so much. It's just so oh.

That one shot they do in it, it's unbelievable, and it sort of sets up like all the genre of movies we have nowadays, Like I mean, you know, The Killer probably predates it, But at the end of the day, I just love that movie.

The in the it's so good.

You could have that. That's a fucking great chount. It's never come up.

Okay, great, great, thank you.

I'm going to say the typical ones that I should, but that one is one of my favorite.

I can watch it any day of the week.

Fantastic, fantastic. What is the film? You could all have watched themized over and over again, and is it bringing up baby?

It's up baby for sure. For sure, it's prettod at baby. I mean, but all those I love the Thin Man, I watched those a lot, His Girl Friday, Philadelphia's Story, Yeah, all those SCREWBALLI comedies, Carol Lombard, anything she was in, she was so freaking amazing.

It's a real Yeah, it's a different it's a different type of women that was in the in the films.

Yeah, very different vibe.

They were very unapologetic and they didn't seek to please men. They fell the guy would fall in love with her regardless, but she wasn't playing for any of it. She was like she had her own world. And you know, these were all mostly written by men, but like these women

What is the worst film you've ever seen? Now you like bad films, I don't know how you would qualify a worst film. It might be a film you just didn't enjoy. What's the worst film you've ever seen?

It's the worst film I've ever seen, But it's also the most enjoyable because you're just like, what. So it's called The Rape and it stars Charlie Sheen okay, and he plays a how do I put this an alien murder car. He gets killed reincarnated into the body of a car by I think, and he seeks vengeance on the gang quote unquote who killed him, and is also harassing his ex girlfriend who somehow gets naked in a waterfall no reason.

It is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

Is he just then just a voiceover on a car? Or does he is his face in the car? Like how is he? No?

No, no, it's a car. It's like Kit from Night Rider, but murder it and he like he exacts vengeance in a way where you're just like, yeah, murder them, like you're just so excited that people are getting killed by this. But there's a car gang that he's fighting, So there's all these car sequences, and it's in this little town that has one diner and a really incompetent sheriff and like the things that happen in it are so laughable. It's truly an astonishing ride.

So do you think he did like two days on set, he's just filmed his bit and then he dies and voice over, I think so, And they put him on the poster. This sounds fucking great, they're right, yeah, And then there's like scenes going. Yeah.

In a small town in Arizona, a mysterious man's spirit descends from the sky, a manifest in a sports card and total targets a local, violent road racing gang of motorheads headed by a ruthless bully who'll do anything to get what he wants.

Okay boo, I mean.

So yes, please, I'll take two.

It's so good, it's so great, and it's so unbelievable, like how bad, Like you're just like this was a scene they wrote, and the dialogue and the people who are like clearly thirty, who are acting like yeah, I'm a teen.

Yeah, it's how does it end? Can he spoil the ending? Does he come back to life?

I don't know. He definitely doesn't go back to life. I don't remember, actually, I don't remember. It was so bad. Sherln fens in it. She's the one who gets naked. Randy Quaid's in it. It's got quite a lineup. Nick Cassavetti's Oh Place Packard, which is just it's the role of a lifetime.

Really, I can't.

I think it's revealed that he's rec Yeah. I feel like the end is revealed that he's reincarnated in the car the guy who died, you know, like die so and it's like thank you, thanks for running these people over.

Well, and then the car just drives off into the sunset.

You know, what if it isn't that it should have been.

Drives after murdering so many people.

Flashes a signal. Guys, ah, I really want to see that. What's is the flat day YouTube? Comedy? You've made comedy? What is the film that made you laugh the mice?

Oh wow, it's got the Airplane.

I've seen that movie like four or five times probably no, probably probably fifty, Like I mean over the years, I've seen that movie. I mean that kind of comedy I admire. I mean, how do you write that kind of comedy that like Fletch and all that sort of farcical oh so funny. So for sure it's Airplane.

Good answer. I mean, you're not wrong with that answer. Felicia Day, You've been excellent. It has been a joy to meet you. My friends were correct, however, Oh that's great. WHOA when your daughter was twenty five and you were thirty, and you went you gave up all, you sold all your athlete goods and you went for a one around India. You had eaten so much food that you were now the size of a mountain. No one mentioned it. Everyone, well, Jesus, we better step out of the way. But you were

God, this is hard. Is it my movie?

Or is it I need something for the quorum?

You know, it's the movie you've chosen to show. Everyone.

Oh my god, I feel like I shouldn't pick Bringing Up Baby because it is black and white, and I don't want to, like.

I think you should be taking that, you think people will kind of handle black and white.

Also, I just I feel like it should be probably the first Star Wars, like you know, that's gonna be pleasing to me. Oh, it could be like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, like I think I would. That's a good one because I do, as I told you, I love martial arts films. My brother was super commercial arts as a kid. Every Friday night at University of Texas, they would show a martial art movie and I would go every night and sit in the balcony. It was all

Love with them, Leave the Web and four yes please, oh yeah.

Four yeah, any of them.

So I would say that as far as like, oh, this is a movie we could watch and dissect. We're taking that format and bring it to an artistic level, I would probably pick that one. Cutchy Tiger, I mean, yep, mon is pretty amazing too, like I think that we could really Yeah, Crouching Tiger you sure, yeah, pretty hard. Yeah, that's good, it's good.

It's so beautiful.

It's so beautiful.
