Mini Crush #101

That's not kind. I have a bid dat. I got it from from Tushy, not tushi dot com, which is a porn site. Do you have a bid day? Did you get one of those little uh? We had him as a sponsor on the stuff. I don't want you to to know a thing that goes under your toilet. It's for a while, but during their house for renovation, I got lost, so I need to get it going. How do you lose a bidday? Well, you know, you don't keep up with it and it walks out the front door.

I got it. I got what happened to it? Your contractor made off with your bid day and we got really clean. But when you have a big renovation like that, things go missing. Understood, I need to get another one, though. Do you like it? Does it keep your asshole clean?

If I just said that three times that I have the clean I have the cleanest butth hole in the office, except for the other people who also got t shiet bid days as as free swag from a sponsorship to I mean, the only reason you were mentioning that, and you know this is because at a Christmas party this year, we had karaoke, we had a nice buffet, and we had a clean butthole contest. That's very true. Any one, Congratulations, Thanks Chuck, glad you remember it was tough being the judge.

But well, someone's gotta do it, Chuck, someone's gotta do it. Good God, what is wrong with us? What's wrong with you? Good point? I'm the one that said it. Sorry, all right, everyone,

we're gonna start off. We're gonna get right into it here. Uh, since this is still January and we're all reveling in the films of twenty nineteen, I asked the movie crushers know what their top three were nice Like, no explanation, just list them out and of course people didn't do that because he said the movie crushers and they do what they fucking please. What was the guy's name in the last episode says, Jimmy's gonna do what he's gonna do it, Jimmy, Jim's gonna do Let me see here.

Jennifer Adolph says, Biggest Little Farm. Oh, my wife loves that documentary Downton Abbey. Haven't seen it gonna happen? They did it. I never saw the show, so I would probably be completely lost and confused. And Summer School a k A Midsummer Oh, Midsummer Yeah, Midsummer yea Karen Schlump Hughes Lighthouse Parasite, Once upon a Time in Hollywood. Rob Dickinson, one of our old friends, says, joker uh in Game and How to Train Your Dragon The Hidden World? Interesting?

All right, let me see here. Blair Christie Son says The Mandalorian, The Watchman, and The Witcher movies are dumb and overrated. Alright, thanks for that making a statement there. Boopies are dumb, good lord overrated, that says, that's a that's a bit of a walk. I'm gonna I'm gonna put that out there. I will say that the long form storytelling is is very interesting and compelling in its own way, but movies are very much their own thing.

Blair's for something. I've senior name Blair, but Blair is from New Zealand, so all is forgiven because that's one of the best places. Kristen Glenn Kisser says Avengers in Game Knives Out in Shazam. Oh you know what, I love Shazam. I also love Shazoom. I'm gonna throw that on my honorable mentions list. Ramsey, you liked it. It's a fun movie, right, fun message. Oh yeah, and especially as a parent of an adopted kid, that whole angle was I thought very meaningful and uh well played. All right.

Here we go with Lillian Rolf in Game Knives Out and Frozen two. I didn't see Frozen two. Yeah, I really like Frozen one though. Uh you know, my daughter is just now gotten into it, and boy is she into it? Yeah, and Frozen two. Did you guess you? Frozen two? Emily took her and her little best friend and her mom, and uh boy, she into it. She had a little Frozen dress and boots. We got her first CD player, so now she has some autonomy with music because you know, we have Sonos in the house.

It's always me on the app like programming, so we're like, you know what, your four and a half, you should be in control of some music. Got a little boom box with some CDs and she's playing a lot of Frozen. I think Eden was six when the first Frozen came out and she went ape shipped for it. And I really liked it a lot too, Like we both got into the music together and like, I'm very catchy really and I gotta admit it. Yeah, I would like to see too. She saw it and she said she really

liked it. Yeah, I'm sure it's great. Ian Lyons when a Rold friend says Jojo Rabbit, uncut gems and Joker, Uh, nineteen seventeen could bump one of those out, though, Boy, I can't wait to see nineteen seventeen. I gotta see that too. That in Parasite and all mm hmm. Yeah, it's I only find out recently that it's made to look like all one shot. I didn't realize that was like, I was like, why didn't we figure out about an other war movie? Yeah, that's gonna be great. And it's

what's his name? Roger deakins, Oh did he shoot it? Yeah? And uh sam In does Yvambodette says the Joker, Parasite and Jojo Rabbit, and he also was looking forward to nineteen seventeen. Uh Anna Shresth Stu. I always love seeing Anna's comments because I'm just styming by that name Parasite in game and Watchman this series because it was the best thing us all this year. Fair enough, it was great, It was awesome. Patrick Gorman won a World Princes Cats.

He says he hasn't seen it yet, so he's kidding Midsummer and joke or I bought you that one, didn't I'll be fine if there was, Yeah, just joke or Joe Bomb Gardner says into the Spider Verse, which I think we determined wasen Was that right, Ramsey? Did you look that up? Damn? When was it released? Was it late?

Had to have been late? I think it was. But I think what I thought when I was climbing up my top ten list or trying to was I think I put that on there, but I had to check it and as well as if Bill Street could talk December Okay, Yeah, alright, well almost, it's like hasn't even come out yet, but I think it's I don't know if it was released in Atlanta in twenty nineteen. In fact, it wasn't. What are you talking about? It's not out anywhere yet. I don't. I don't think you know it's out?

Is it really out for Oscar contention? Where like just New York in l A. It's such a it's a big blockbuster movie. I've never heard of them doing uh limited releases of a big more maybe prestige kind of more movie. Joe bomb Gardner, Uh, like I said, into the Spider Verse and then the Lighthouse and Good Boys, Good Boys? What is that? I think that's a Seth Rogan production, like three little kids, three kids like super Bad Bad for elementary school students. Yeah, I didn't. I

did not see that. That looks cute though. It's the kid from our room, right, I think that's right? Is one of them? Rob Real says knives out Star Wars and Avengers in Game? All right, here's a different one. Wendy White says her number one film was Forward versus Ferrari. I've heard that's awesome everyone I've talked to you said, it's great. It's a great story. We did it on ridiculous history. Um, just the rivalry between them and like this guy Carol Shelby, who like designed the car. It's

a race. It's like an arms race almost, like there's a lot of tension, and and those races back then, like the Lament or whatever, they're really dangerous, like people are back then. They were like there was no regulation, no seatbelts. People just got like yeah, and these cars didn't perform like they do today. That's right, No, it was. It's it's a very It's weird how that one seems to Did it fizzle a little bit? Like? H No? I think it did pretty well, okay, because I just

don't haven't seen a lot about it. I don't think it was in the the Talk on the Street as much as other movies because I know street talk, I know you do, and it was not on the streets your street level. Chuck Wendy also says it chapter two. I did not see that an end game. I really liked it chapter one. I think it was just one of those that I'll wait for the online editions say. I also read some not amazing reviews for it. For different Thingschman liked it better than the first one. Okay,

I'm gonna see it. Yeah, let me see here. Robert Browers's knives out in game? And Alita Did you see Alita? No, but Paul really liked that. That made his top ten. They're sorted. Uh Richard Jewel, you know, like Richard Jewel. I mean it was okay, I didn't hate it. The acting was really good, but certainly not a top ten movie for me. And he likes to keep him guessing. Yeah, he does. Paul's his own man. He really is. Uh. Mario's Alexander Rocksides one of world friends. Marios says, Jojo

Rabbit number one, parasite and knives out. Interesting. Most of these are, like, We've got a pretty similar vibe with most of the movie crushers. You know what. The only thing that bugs me about Jojo Rabbit is the name. It makes me every time I hear someone say it. You know this like teeny bopper YouTuber named Jojo Siwa. Nope, unless she's like some of my kid was into like maybe two years ago. You know you know what I'm talking didn't know you don't know who? Oh? Well, she

has a line of clothing at Target that looks like Ompolumpo's. Basically, she wears these giant bows and she's like sort of a weird hybrid internet personality and pop star. And she's like, you know, twelve or thirteen. Anyway, my kid liked her a year or so ago, two years ago. Now she like can't stand there, but her name. I whmever I hear Jojo Rabbit, I think of Jojo Siwa. That was so interesting. No, you know what I'm trying to I'm just trying to hip you to what's going on with

the kids. Man. I started doing like Scott Alkerman whenever, like this is one of the funniest things on that show. Are you talking? R M re me? Is when Adam Scott is really saying something relevant about rim and kind of going on a little bit, but it's still really interesting. Alkerman should be like, oh God, well, you shut the funk up. You just so mean to him on that Joe in a funny way. Uh kbo. One of our old pals, Kelly Butler Olsen, says knives Out was her favorite.

I think I knew that, And then yesterday Great and the Aeronauts. This first one I've seen mentioned that I have heard that's really really good. Is that animated or is it? No, it's a I think it's a is that it's a Hulu movie or Amazon movie. But it's about like hot air balloonists and it's got that dude Eddie Redman great. Apparently they it's like real harrowing, like they get like they go too high and the atmosphere is all freezing, and they're like, it looks very like

adventure kind of you know movie. And I was on a list of a critic who I liked um out of Nowhere kind of. So I want to see it, all right, I'm gonna check that out too. That'll be good streamer for me. I think it's only a streamer. I think I mean it's yeah, Well then screw that. I want to see it only in a movie theater. Christina Peck went her role Princes Knives out favorite movie Star Wars and Little Women. I'm going to see Little Women on Tuesday. I can't wait. Me too. It sounds

really warm and fuzzy and delightful. It looks great and Emily loves that story. And you know what Emily gave me for Christmas was twelve movies, one movie a month in the theater with her. She's like, I'm giving my time because Emily never goes to the movie theater anymore because she works in the day. When I go to the scene the matinees, and then at night she's like, if we get a babysitter, I want to go out and have a nice dinner. I didn't want to go to a movie, so she said, I know going to

movies is important to you. And so one movie a month isn't that nice. That's called making it work, Chuck, making it work. So we're going to see A Little Women next Tuesday. Cannot wait. Adore credit Gerwick, Gary am Strange, Jojo Rabbit favorite movie lives out Number two? Apollo eleven number three? Is that a movie that this year? Yeah? I saw it on someone else's list. Is it a documentary? Though? I don't know. Maybe so I think it might be

a documentary. Well, it has to be right, because oh no, wait, what was the Ron Howard movie? Was that? Apolo Apollo elevens the Moon Landing? And it was the anniversary of that this year? So was it the documentary on that? Or does he mean First Man? He probably didn't mean the first night. No, No, there's a documentary Apolo E

love it. It is a documentary. And also quick plug, we're doing on the network a show called nine as in July that uses audio from like mission control and from aboard you know, Apollo eleven that people have never heard before and it's a really cool immersive podcast about the nine days of that mission. And you can catch it now wherever you get your podcasts. Very nice, nice plug,

We all like the same movies. Here's a new one. Jeff Jones says Parasite number one, Painting Glory

Antonio Banderies he plays like a director who's going through midlife A sister or something. I don't Yeah, that's yeah, exactly, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I gotta see that one. Cheryl Jones says The Lion King. Interesting. Favorite movie the year, Captain Marble. I quite enjoyed Captain Marble and Rise of Skywalker. Here's another different one. M. D.

Parasite number one, Toy Story four number two, that was so good, and Captain Marvel number three, and let me see here, we're running shorter on time, so let me

go through a couple of more of these. Jonathan Holland knives out Jojo Rabbit Once upon Time in Hollywood. Uh, Colby Hardy another new crusher. I love seeing all these new crushers. Jojo Rabbit yesterday an end Game. Liam Isaacson says book Smart Avengers in Game and Free Solo. I think that was the previous year because that won an Oscar. But I just saw that recently. Do you guys see Free Solo the documentary? Oh, it's about the climbing. Yeah,

the boy great, really good. Highly recommend. It is nerve wracking, to say the least, to watch somebody do something where you're like, this guy gonna fall and die right in front of my face. He's not harnessed. It's not the deal. Now, that's a whole deal. So you're climbing without ropes El Capitan like like, it's super intimidating just watching it. I can't imagine getting anxiety is thinking about it. Yeah, it's it's pretty it's pretty nerve wracking. All right, We're gonna

finish up with Page Stringham. I believe another new crusher. Welcome everyone. It's fantastic the Peanut Butter Falcon number one, film, US number two and Jojo Rabbit as the number three. Al Right, guys, we're gonna move on to our final segment. Uh in real time, yesterday was Cage Day? What Nicholas Cage's birthday? Oh yeah, happy cage Day. One day late as this comes out, it will be a couple of weeks later. But what do you think he did for his break out? Jeez us, what what does Nick Cage

do on his birthday? Because we know what he does the other day. That's saying. So maybe he just had a quiet night at home do you think? I don't really think that now, Or he like, you know, bought a panther just so he could hunt it with his bare hands. That's probably true. He does a lot of karaoke around l A. There's a lot of like videos that you serious, Yeah, there's a lot of videos of him just like really giving it as all at like

pretty small karaokes. Wow. Yeah, that'd be fun. I'd love to run in knick cage at a at a Korean karaoke bar or something. Man, the best karaoke bar in La is now gone. It was called the Small Cutter and it was just such a delight. It was one of these tiny, tiny little bars run by an Asian woman and it was just the karake. There was no stage. You were just kind of standing in the middle of everyone. It was just wonderful. We used to say, you wanna

go cut some smock? There you go. Whenever we went there, what's your go to? We talked about this. I know you got the queen you do under pressure? Yeah, I kind of, you know, I try to mix it up. I don't do karaoke much anymore. It's just I don't get out like that like I used to. I want to take karaoke as It was a really good one on Monday nights here. Yeah, that's at the local like down the street. It's a really good karaoke It gets it gets fun. A lot of regulars that just like

really give it. They're all and there's very talented people that that really you're selling it to do it. It's my karaoki days. My karaoke career. Alright. Uh so Becca Lou one of our oldest friends. Uh, and she is tagged as a visual storyteller. Oh my lord, what is that on Facebook? Maybe she's like a visual story like a painter. But well, I don't know. I mean maybe she posts a lot of pictures is probably what that means. So Becca Lou said, happy birthday, Nicholas Cage. What's your

favorite Cage role? And I told Becca I was gonna steal this from her, and she was delighted. So thanks Becca for that. Mike Snelling Jr. Says gone in sixty seconds before you got all of Nick cag Uh let me see here what that mean? Well, I mean, as you would say, before you started leaning into Nick Cage.

But that's that's what I like him the best. Well, sure, but apparently he doesn't all right, fair enough, Becca herself says, torn between grug and the Crudes, I don't even know that Animated Memphis and Gone in sixty Seconds in Balthazart and The Sorcerer's Apprentice all very fun roles. Interesting, Megan only says, raising Arizona. Sylvia Sanchez says Valley Girl like totally, so does Julie Sickens, Perez Randy and Valley Girl Swoon.

Yeah he was. He had a look when he was young, sort of that sleepy eyed, mysterious guy he's I mean, yeah, he was like a leading man type. It was like kind of like a young like a new James Dean or something. I never thought him as being like a handsome, like super handsome guy, but what he got, that got those rugged good looks, you know, like that sounded like

the rugged good looks. Um. I don't know. I think he's a really interesting character and he's he's a big part of modern Hollywood, like like what we know, you know, like like our generation of film. You know, he's part of the dynasty to the whole of the Coppola isn't all that stuff? Do you have a favorite nick um Ramsey? Do you raising Arizona or Wild at Heart? Yeah? Wild

at Heart would be Sailor Ripley. I watched the ship out of that movie that was a ratation for us like Late Night, and we could quote in My My roommate Eddie can still quote that movie almost verbatim. It's pretty pretty funny. Keith Edwards say his face off, terrible movie. Terrible acting, but so much fun. Yeah, Face Off was pretty fun. It's not a movie I ever want to

see again. I rewatched it recently. It really absolutely holds up just as like a total fast see you know, Like I mean, it's it's another one of those ones where we were like, god, this was in it was in the nineties, I guess ninety four something like that

movies were are pretty bad. There were a lot of like I mean, you know, it's weird, like those kind of action movies were quite over the top and campy and absurd that we're in theaters and like now it's much more intentional when they do them like that, like Fast and the Furious kind of is what it is whatever, Whereas I feel like there were a lot of like nineties movies like Face Off that are maybe a little unintentionally bad, like Ernest kind of not quite nailing it.

Wasn't that John Woo that directed that. That was one of his first big big American English Yeah, boy, I love those Hard Boiled and The Killer. I've not seen those. I just know boy, you would love those movies. No, I need to Rames. You've seen those, right, good stuff? Huh yeah, great Killer Yeah, hard Boiled to two classics of cinema. I mean I remember seeing those in college and uh or maybe it was post college and just

I hadn't seen action like that before Blew Me Away. Yeah, I was super excited when youven made the jump to I guess American movie or whatever. But yeah, I mean they're not as good as good that Broken Arrow with right, he did a bunch of those types of Yeah, he did with that one of the I think the second mission impossible or was it the third one? One of

them that wasn't so great. He is apparently remaking The Killers the Killer himself for American audiences, which is that's weird that I like in coming up like introduction, Fat wasn't he was the Killer? Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah he was hard boiled. Fat kind of got famous in American movies too. He had a little moment, didn't here. Yeah, absolutely, I don't regrudge that couching Tiger. That's right. That's a wonderful movie. I really love that movie. I haven't seen

that a long time. I was great. I think it's just great. Our oldest of friends, Ya Bambodett says favorite acting leaving Las Vegas. Yeah, hard to argue their favorite role castor Troy in Face Off. It's a fun movie, very fun movie. Grant Woody says, Mandy and Raising Arizona are great. You know I loved him at Mandy. I know you love your Mandy Knoll. Good stuff and a Shresthsu says the weather Man. I never saw that. Yeah,

that's the one where he's a weather man. I think it's like a family, isn't It's a wonderful life scenario where he's he's a jerk and he has to, like you know, quantum leap around in time and make things right. I might be mixing up my menory thought John Mills's adaptation. Oh god, of course it's really hard. So that's my favorite one. Yeah, no, I like that one better than uh um Will at Heart Wild at Heart by a mile. That's one of my favorite movies of all time, of course.

And you know why I don't think of it as him, because he's it's it's like acting. He's so disappeared in that role like I was when it saw it. I was like, wait a minute, was he in that exactly? That's why, like popping in my head. I think it's it's fantastic. John Charles says, gone in sixty seconds. Philip Ashworth old friend says ah castor Troy and face Off. People like face Off. There's a lot to like. Vanessa

Cashman says Valley Girl. I think there are some ladies where who's like where Valley Girl is like a really really big movie. What Valley Girls? That an eighties movie? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? Who else is in that? We talked about this before. I mean it's a love story with Nick Cage and I can't remember the woman's name she was. She was sort of a big actor in the eighties and a lot of those movies. What was her name? I don't know.

Good movie though, and had a hit song that went along with it from moon Zappa his daughter, It's good. Andreas Solis Garrett says the same. Valley Girl. Randy Forever, Yeah, he was handsome when he was young. He had equality. H jan Healings says raising Arizona and Moonstraw. Oh you forgot about Moonstruck? So good? Uh. Lauren Barnes w says the wicker Man. I know everyone hates it, but for some reason I love it. Ramsey, you chuckled, did you see it, I mean, was it fun bad at least?

Or Yeah, there's always in a bear suit punching women in the face as a sequence for that's happening. Interesting, Well, part of that is fun. I always just think about the bees, just the bees, saying that's I think I need to see that just for fun sees. Yeah, you know you can actually do though. You don't have to watch the whole movie. Just go to YouTube and look up ridiculous moments in The wicker Man and there's like a super cut. Todd Klein says The Family Man as well.

Bridget Nilsen says none. I think he is a really bad actor, like Harrison Ford. Wow, that is a hot take. I thought he was talking about a movie where he played a none. Yeah, right back in his method acting days. Uh. Gene mccols's Man stick Men and The Orchid Thief. Wow, look at that, not even going with the adaptation. Well that is adaptation, right, Yeah, the original title of the film was The Yorki Thief, because oh right, that doesn't

even the book. Yeah, but the it was right. He was commissioned, literally commissioned to write that, but in real life it was called The Orchid Thief because I read the screenplay early on it that then they change it to adaptation. Interesting, because I think the Orchid Thief might be a weird title for a movie mainstream audience. Now that's the whole thing though, Like that's part of the

story because his character was based on him. He was hired to adapt that book, The Orchid Thief, And then I think they didn't think that would draw in American audiences in the movie theater. Interesting, so they changed its adaptation. But I also wonder if Susan Orlean maybe has something to do with it, like wasn't on board and said like, you can't. I think it was a creative choice, um, because I'm trying to think of a movie called The Orchid Thief of mainstream audiences to be like, what the

hell is that about? Dealing a Flower's Yeah, alright, we're gonna finish up with Joe Garcia with The Family Man. I need to see that. Quite a few people said that, oh, the family Man, not the weather Man. There's two different ones. I think there was a movie called The weather Man. Ramsey's nodding. I think, so the family Man is the family No one said weather Man said that must not be said. You said the weather Man a minute ago.

I thought I said family Man. No, you said the weather Man did I'm pretty sure I only said it if someone else said it. I think someone else said it. Uh, but I had said I confused it with the family Man, because the family Man is the one that's like the uh it's a wonderful life, okay, and the weather Man is something else entirely. Uh yeah, a few people did say weather man Ian line, says Gore Verbinski's underrated the

weather Man. Oh Anna Shretze, That's who said it, The weather Man, all right, I'm not crazy, uh that No one mentioned kick Ass he was? I thought he did. Oh that's right, and technically Spider Verse. Yeah, he's a big part of that movie. Who was he was the Batman, the dad who taught his kid too, like literally kick Ass? That was it? What was her name? I forget the actress that was in that. That was it's what's her name? What's her name? Chloe Grace Morett yea, yeah, that was

the second one. That wasn't it? Was it? The first one? That was the first. Second. I don't remember the second. I don't remember him at all from the first one. That's weird. I liked it. I have work to do. Everyone all right, Well, that's it uh for today. We had some comic card questions, but we'll hold those for the next up because we are out of time. So thank you, Ramsey, thank you knowl thank you Crushers, Happy birthday, late one day, Nick Cage, keep being weird and uh

we'll see you next time. M H. For more podcasts for my Heart Radio, visit the I heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
