Mini Crush #129

couch in the basement. I have my daughter because she's up to over there. What's keeping her busy that she's not gonna come crawling under the table there. Well, you know, we hate to do it, but she's on the iPad with some headphones. We're doing what we gotta do. Nol, we got, we got the we got a lockdown, Emily. Is it her job? That's her iPad? Jam Uh. You know, we got lots of little kid apps, learning apps and some YouTube for kids, and so she does games and

she watches some stuff. And you know, it's just tough these days. You can't say, hey, Ruby, I'm going downstairs for an hour and a half. You just entertaining yourself. Please, don't set yourself on fire. So she's down there, and she's she's great, she's a sweetheart. Everyone loves are on the Crushers page, by the way, they live for her cameos, as do I. It's been a minute, so um. The irony here is she's not gonna come over today. No, she's glued to that fucking screen. I pad it up.

I hear you, man. Oh dude, I am armed with some discussion today, my friend. But I'm just gonna I'm gonna wait till the time is right to unleash it. Well, what the fuck? How can you say that? Okay? Okay, Chuck, Well, I'm discussion. I didn't know if you're gonna do like a stream this section, but I just wanted to sing the praise. Well, I am, well, then I'm gonna wait. Okay. In fact, it's funny that you mentioned that. No, there, there's gonna be even a more robust stream this than usual.

Because time is so short, I feel bad. I'm not able to put as much time into writing fun stuff for the show. So I'm cribbing a lot from the movie Crushers page on these next two, and one of them is a sort of more robust stream this where everyone is giving their recommendations, which is kind of fun. But we're gonna start though, Noel, with a little catchup. I think everyone wants to know you're alive. Clearly you were not killed mystery date. No, no, she is not

here wearing your face. No. No, that last night. Actually, it's funny that you mentioned, uh want to talk about it? Yeah? Sure, it was great. Um we had, you know, chatted online a few times. Um uh sorry, you know, face times or whatever, had the core dates, and it really hit it off and both were comfortable enough with each other's levels of core that she decided we agreed she'd come over and I made dinner and would you make? I made.

I made like I do a tie coconut curry chicken situation with coconut milk and curry paste and kafir lime leaves, the whole nine. And yeah it was great. She really enjoyed it. Um, you had a really lovely time. Did I tell you what her name is? Well? Yeah, that was the whole gay. Yeah that's she's trying to take over your life. Yeah, that's right exactly. She did not do that thing. Um, she did not do that thing. She's a very lovely person, and uh, I think we

shall probably meet again. Good well, I don't want to ask you to kiss and tell certainly, but did you make love? Oh? Chuck? Did she make wheet love? Um? I am a gentleman and I will I cannot reveal such details. No, No, we did not, Chuck. We had we had filthy, nasty sex. I'm kidding. I'm carrying other kind. There's there's making tender love. Yeah. See, I grew up Southern Baptist, so it was all described to me as filthy, and next they didn't call it making. Who should ever?

Do ya totally remember making? Whoopee? Where'd that come from? That was very seventies thing? Was that a seventies thing? I thought it was like a fifties thing? Oh, well, you're probably right. I'm just saying it just sounds like a I heard it a lot in the seventies on like game shows. That was sort of the go to on game shows. When you wanted to say that, you would say making whoopee? Yes, yes, yes, so nol. I

have another update. It's very curious. So I was hanging out with my friend and I'm gonna do a lot of this nameless because I don't want to like get anyone in trouble or anything for spelling secrets. But I have a friend that works. You know, many friends at work in the film industry, as do you. But one of them I was doing a zoom with the other day with some old pals, and he said that he's coming back to work on a movie in August. And I was like, really, and how are they doing that?

And here's what they're doing. And I thought everyone would find this fairly interesting, because you know, Hollywood is trying to work this out like best practices. Uh. And this is a big, big movie with a big, big movie star. Uh. And they are quarantining essentially and bubbling the entire cast and crew for three months. Uh. So it's essentially like being on location in your own town. You have to stay at this hotel, you have to get all meals

brought to you, uh, three meals a day. You're getting paid for seven days a week, which is cool. Obviously they got to do that, you know, even though they're only working I guess, I don't know if they're doing sixes or if it's a five day week. Probably six is with one day down. But you know they're they're quarantining everyone is. The entire cast and crew has to stay there and can't leave at all. This is what

we talked about. This was our theory, right yeah. And they're being shuttled, you know, to and from work, and they're obviously gonna still get temperature checks and I'm not sure about regular testing. But the idea is like what you were describing, it is just bubble everyone up. And uh, you know, he lives here in town with his wife, and you want to be able to see her. There'll be miles from her, and we'll be able to see

her for three months as well. You know, many many people will be away from their families, which he has mixed feelings. He's he's he needs to work obviously in seven day pay is good, but it kind of stinks. And the big big star in this movie is a big, big jerk. He's worked with him before and he's not looking forward to it. So what's that quarantine situation like

obviously there's like premium quarantine for the big big Star. Right. Well, I will say this, I don't want to give it all the way, but this big Big Star is not I don't think going to be and channing in the hotel because they work so much in Atlanta that they bought a big place here in Atlanta. So and they get what they want. So this he doesn't like working with this person because they Uh. There's what I found nol on cruise with big movie stars is there's three

ways it can go. They can be really friendly to the cast and crew. They can be friendly to the crew but not treat their crew well at the same time. So like those are two different things. I hope everyone understands that they can be They don't have to be some big, raving jerk to be not friendly to the crew. You know what I'm saying, Like, not friendly to the crew means it's all about you. You keep people waiting, um, and that's what this person does. They show up when

they want, they leave when they want. To the point where another friend was working with this person on a movie last year with another really really big co star a woman, and that big co star and actor said, I'm I'm not gonna come anymore unless he starts showing up on time because he's leaving everybody waiting like other A list actors because he's that's just not a good look.

I don't know, man, Yeah, I just I would hope that no matter what level of like success or fame that I ever reached, I'm assuming that I have peaked, Chuck, But you peeked a little while ago. No, you're on the down slope, damnit, Chuck, don't say that. Come on, he started many crush. You started the downstide. Well, anyway, I would hope that when I attain my next stage of fame and stardom, that I will not let it like ruin me, you know. I mean, it's something you

have to kind of actively do too. You have to kind of like keep yourself from becoming a monster. And if you have just handlers and yes people that just like prop you up every step of the way, you're gonna become a piece of ship. Unless you are just a really glowingly wonderful person to start with, and you're

just somehow immune to all that. So it's a slippery slope, ma'am. Well, I mean I gotta say, you know, I made my way up as a p A and then when we did the stuff you should know TV show, Josh and I were the and this isn't bragging, but it's just the facts of the matter. We were the two most important people on the set because we were the dudes

from Stuff you should Know. And even on that tiny little show with a tiny little budget, on that tiny little network, it's the treatment is different and people are trying to do everything that you want, and it's a weird situation to all of a sudden be in and uh, you know, we were super cool because we were just you know, we loved all the crew and we didn't want to We wanted to be good guys and make

everything happen. But I can see how these people sort of get a little power mad and are just like, I'll be there when I want to be there. I mean, it sucks, but that's why it happened. My theory is you already have to have that monster somewhere inside you. Though you know, I agree totally. It's not people to

become jerks when they are drunk. They're already kind of jerks. Yeah, Like I when I get drunk, I get really bubbly and goofy, and just like you know, Telly smile friend, and I know people that get dark and sinister and it's like, whoa you know and like that. Those people have that thing within them already, so for sure it's uh yeah, and this person, this, this big movie star had a previous career where they were very, very successful and you know, kind of came into movies already with

that kind of pull. I think, man, you're really narrowing it down. Chuck for the for the Home Sleuths, The Home movie Sleuths owns a big place in Atlanta, works here a lot, possibly an athlete, Chuck, an athlete. Let's just leave it there. But I gotta say, though, anyone, anyone who leaves people waiting and costs people money and puts people out, it's just like Tom Cruise did that on the Mission Impossible movie Emily worked on for the Moab shoot. She told the story where it was the

stuff where he was mountain climbing or whatever. You know, he's just he's he's just waiting. He's in his trailer getting whatever the heck he wants to get done done, and everyone's standing around in the hot sun for hours and hours and hours. That's even worse when there's like a nasty climate situation to contend with. You think you want to get in and out to get it done. Think of others, That's all I say. I think that's

what my mother taught me. Think of others. Should always be thinking of others, all right now, So we're gonna move on to real content. And I also want to say, if there's anyone out there that works for Facebook, tell them I'm about to quit it, because, Uh, have you seen the new Facebook? Yeah? They they streamlined it. Chuck, you don't like the new streamlined? Look? Are you on the new Facebook? I guess I don't know. I I clicked the button and it changed a little bit. Uh

he clicked what button? There was some button where it like that said would you like to see the new Facebook? I can't remember now, And now it looks kind of the same to me. What what do you not like about? Well, I mean the new Facebook is vastly different, so you would know if you were on it. It's a complete redesign. And I accidentally clicked to try it. Yeah, that's what I thought happened to me too, But now it looks normal again. Well, I can't go back to normal day.

And I read, uh, a very small number they said overall people they are not allowing to go back and I'm one of them, and I hate the new one and it looks awful and it's not intuitive, it looks like shit. And so if anyone works for Facebook, tell them that I might pull all of our social media's away from Facebook because I hate it so much and they won't let me switch back. Well, Chuck, you you kind of home. You kind of lighten up Instagram these days,

so maybe it's time to switch to that. Although it's a little harder to do polls and stuff, although you couldn't, you can do it, you know, Ah, Chuck, I'll tell you got to get to the stories. Now stories. You can do polls with yes or no questions or with multiple answers. You can make them and then people you know answer and you only you see the answers and they expire automatically after twenty four hours, so you wouldn't even have to go and delete them like you do

with stuff. Um, this is something that might be worth experimenting. Not that Facebook doesn't also own Instagram, but it's a far superior platform as far as I'm concerned. I know, but I would love, just as a show of you know, anti support, I would love to pull our ship from Facebook. Because I'm just I can't believe they're just like, no, sorry, I can't switch back because you accidentally had a button and it looks like crappier. I remember seeing it and

being like, did not ask for this? And I don't know. I guess I looked out. Maybe I didn't commit because I it looks like the old way to me. I use Facebook so infrequently, really just for this show and for like some of the Facebook groups that we have for stuff that I want you to know in Ridiculous History. Um, speaking of Zuckerberg, which we kind of are, uh tangentially, Um, did you see that amazing photo of him surfing in

Hawaii with his face just slathered in like sunscreen. He looks like, oh my, he looks like he's wearing a creepy face mask like Hannibal Lecter or something looking Zuckerberg surfing. Oh my gosh, it's it's pretty wildy. I made a few. Yeah, I made one with remember the Joker's girlfriend and Batman.

The first Batman when you know she she gets burned with acid or something, I guess, and and then she wears that creepy like you know, harlequin mask that I made a meme where it's like a split screen of Zuckerberg on the left and in the harlequin mask, but he's really taking his his son seriously, really, he's all zincd up. I made another one that said everyone colon could Mark Zuckerberg get anymore white? And then Mark Zuckerberg

hold my beer. I was proud of it. That was a good No, I like it all right, So we're gonna start off with this is a lot of Crusher stuff from the movie Crushers page. This is from one of our oldest friends. Austin Debski posted a really cool question, what artifact would you like to see Indiana Jones seek and uncover next? No, you got an artifact? What an artifact? Uh? Did you already do the crystal skull? Come on? How about the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. I've never heard

of that? So there was It was that she was a game show on Nickelodeon called Legends of the Hidden Temple and at the end you had to like go into the temple and there was always like the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. That's pretty good. Now, I gotta say some of these are jokes, but I'm gonna read those because they're kind of funny. Lee last Oka says, a COVID vaccine, that's pretty good. John Colton says Indiana Jones colin the search for viable third party candidate, These

are good. David Mills wants him to go after Jimmy Hoffa. Uh. Sylvia Sanchez wants him to go after her waistline. Yeah, a lot of these are funny. This is a good one. Joe Gathercole, one of our old friends, says, the Fountain of Youth. I think that was a rumor for one of the before Crystal Skulls came out, that it was going to be the Fountain of Youth. I think that's a pretty big one. And what's the deal. So we're in Atlanta, you know, on the street where our office is,

ponts to lay on. You know who is the you know, the discoverer I guess of theoretically the Fountain of Youth. Wasn't there some discussion that there was a mini Fountain of Youth like where our building is or something or like there was a oh I don't know, Okay, then that's where the whereon city markets? You know what that rings? A bell? Noll? Look that up? Get on that. I'm gonna read off some more of these. Jeremy Barney says, the Bong of Destiny. Okay, uh, let me see here.

Colin Heffernan says Excalibur. No, I guess that would dovetail nicely with uh, the Sean Connery one, because wasn't that the what were they looking for? That chalice? Yeah, that's the chip. Yeah, that Jesus juice. Jesus juice cup is who described who described you as that the sippy cup? Yeah, yeah, the Holy of the Grail. Yeah, Excalibur. That would that

would be cool? I like it? Uh yeah, someone else said, our friend with the backwards name, Culver Matthews says Excalibur as well, didn't he didn't it get thrown into the lake or something? The lady of the lake held it aloft and all that stuff. Yeah, but first he had pulled it out of the stone and then it ended up in a lake. I'm confused. Well, young Arthur pulled it from the stone, but how did it end up in the lake. I don't remember that it was thrown

into the lake at some point. I gotta brush up on that. It's been a while. Have you ever seen the movie Excalibur. That's is it? John Borman, Right, I think so. Yeah, it's a very epic, epic film. I agree, epic cast I totally agree. Do you have the news here on them? I'm trying to find that. Let me type in it. I'm not I need to broaden our narrow my search. Here we go, keep it going. Kurt Kluge says the tomb of Genghis Khan. That would be interesting.

Kenneth Hannon says the dildo of Mussolini. All right. John Thorpe says the Trump peepee tapes. Most of these are very funny. I like this. Uh, that's I'm not going to even read this one. I'm blushing. Goodness. Richard c Anderson's his Poseidon's Trident. Another vote for Excalibur from Owen ur Williger. One of our old pals, Eric Luca says democracy. Heyo. Another vote for Jimmy Hoffa from Janet James Allman. Alright, those are all pretty good. I think I read most

of those. Nol So there's a book called Atlanta's Pons to Leon Avenue a history. Um. Now, it's more just about like the gentrification of the area and stuff. It's not really about I don't know. Check this is I might be barking up the wrong tree here. Yeah, it sounds like it. Quick barking. Noll I showed Emily this

funny meme. Sandra Jane Bets shared this on the Crushers page as Yoda laying there dead says, now that I have children, I really understand the scene and returning the Jedi where Yoda is so tired of answering Luke's questions he just up and dies. You get a lot of questions as a parent, nol, what are what can do you? Can you think of? So you're you're a good question age. I don't get questions anymore. I get back talk, which isn't the same as questions. Is that segue? Can you

think of a good one? Can you think of like give me a good ruby question that's been like a real noodle scratcher for you, or one that was very illuminating of the human condition? Perhaps? Oh, I mean I can't think of a specific one because I get I get a hundred questions before noon every day. You know, there's a lot of questions. It's true. When you're that age, it's great, it's inquisitive. It is and I always try to give I try my best to give good answers.

You know, I don't want to. I don't want to give pat answers or brush it to the side. Uh, like I think can happen sometimes with kids. We we treat her not like an adult, but uh we we try to speak to her like an adult. You know, tell her to get fucked twice a day? Whoa, hey, kid? All right, hey, you gotta say get bent. That's much more child appropriated. Did I tell you what my kid does to me? When I swear? She says, Dad, did you just say a potty word? And she's totally fucking

with me. She doesn't really care, but she knows that it drives me nuts. And so she's always like, was that a potty word? Dead? How can you use such violent language? Well, you know, I'm on record as being not bothered by words. We we have cursed sort of, uh, just casually around her so much. I don't think she knows it's a thing. Maybe that's the way to go. I think so too, because the real allure of it is when it's like, you know, for both forbidden fruit

or whatever. You know. Yeah, I agree, I agree, and like I said, my kid, she she finds it to be off putting, like she doesn't she wouldn't do it because she's so used to hearing it and she actually thinks it's not cool. Um because she's some of the people that the kids that she knows that do it, they do it like for shock value, and she has had no time for that. She's like, you know, it's great. Yeah, she'll she'll get there one day. That's a great age

when they think cursing is bad. And uh, she'll make that transition as well. And it's all about transition. And I always say, you know what, you know, here's the thing. Swearing is fun. It's all. It's like a spice. You gotta like throw it in there, you know, and and and it's got to be in balance, you know, the force has to be in balance. Well, I've got a complete potty mouth. I'm the worst. No, no, no, I don't mind that. I know worse. All right, we're gonna

move on now. I promised a more robust, robust stream this because one of our one of our oldest of friends, Yvonne Boudette, said, all right, crushers, let's do a stream this and this Everyone should go check this out because I know people are always looking for good recommendations for TV and movies and stuff, and this is a good long list. And I'll start mine out and then I'll throw to you and then we'll go to the list. I finished What We Do in the Shadows a couple

of nights ago. Uh finished season two. Great, great episode and great, just two seasons. It's just the best. It's amazing thing I need to get back to. I only watched a few episodes, but it's a it's a it's a delight. Oh man, it's just the best. And then I've been watching by myself late at night, this uh survival challenge show that is on Netflix now, but I think it started out on History Channel, uh and like Netflix grabbed it. It's called Alone is Afraid Well big,

except it's good and way more legit. It's like these are real survival experts, um who have are all dropped off in you know, at very different places, at the same place. And this season I'm watching is the Arctic up in Canada, and they all know their ship. Man. It's really good. It's not sensational or anything. It's uh, you know, they're they're legit. They're making snares, they're hunting,

they're fishing, they're making their own everything. It looks pretty cinematic too, from the look of it, Like I saw a trailer and I almost thought it wasn't like a dock, Like it looked almost like a movie kind of. It was pretty it don't be fooled because it's all self shot, Like they've given them camera gear, so they're truly alone out there, and you only know that you've won, Like you don't know what's going on with anyone else because

you're not with each other. So you only know you've won when they show up and with a family member, I think, and tell you you've won. But it's interesting, man, I love this. I mean, I grew up camping and I'm really into the concept of survival and and making your own way in the woods, and uh so I'm into it. I think it's a really really cool show. If you're industry. I used to watch Survivor Man, like religiously, one of my favorite shows. Are you saying? I used

to watch Survivor Man. No Survivor Mann the name of the show. I can't remember the guy's name now, which is remarkable. For how much I watched Uh what was that guy's name? I can't remember. He was good, though, but alone, I highly recommend if you're into that kind of thing. I'm looking forward to the other seasons. I mean, you gotta have a strong stomach, you know, if you can't handle seeing a moose get gutted or or a rabbit being degloved. That word gives me the gives me

the creep. The guys Survivorman his name is Les Stroud, Yeah, Less Stroud. Yeah, that's right. He was good. Never was into bear grills. That was a little more sensational, I think, and not so real. But um, alone is good. And then all the other night I watched a Shadow of a Doubt, an old Hitchcock movie. Emily and I are getting into watching. We got the Criterion channel, uh on our iTunes TV or whatever Apple TV, and I highly recommend it if you anyone can swing the whatever six

or seven bucks a month. Criterion network is amazing. And I've just got a playlist now, watch list full of classic movies, foreign films, little scene indies, really good stuff. Um. Well, to that point, Chuck, if I may U, is it really only six or seven bucks? I can't remember. I mean I think that the most. It's kind of like everything else. So I just got HBO Max, which is

the ship. Okay, that's that's totally reasonable. HBO Max that has a whole section from Turner classic movies, and it's like this amazing hodgepodge of like all these cool classics that I've always thought about but never seen, like Singing in the Rain things we talked about, like you know, Footlight Parade, like a lot of these old Buzby Berkeley musicals and stuff. Also, I watched Zanna do the other night um Man just for just for kicks. Uh, it's

not good, but it's fucking great. Like it's got um what's his name? Gene Kelly is in it, and there's all these amazing dance sequences that I always assumed it was just weird like psychedelic roller Derby ship, but it's more than that. It's also got like a lot of like you know, twenties flapper kind of dance sequences and like you know, the boogie woogie Bogle Boy of Company be kind of like military kind of like dance band

kind of stuff. And gene Kelly and uh a Living and John tap dancing together and then also tons of eighties ship. Um. But yeah, the whole thing is just really good. Um, the selection, but the selection on HBO Max they have all of the studio Ghibli movies so you can watch, you know, everything Miazaki ever did. Uh. They've got tons of cool stuff from adults swim, They've got lots of classic loony tunes, have got obviously all the HBO stuff. There's a new show called I Will

Destroy You that everyone is just screaming about that. I'm excited to watch, but if not yet, but um, really excited about that. I think I might cancel Netflix, uh and just go with HBO Max and maybe add on criteria. And because I'm in a real head space for watching all this filling these gaps chuck holes if you will. Yeah, we're kind of there too. Um. It was fun watching that Hitchcock movie the other night. It's supposedly hitch his favorite movie of his own, uh, and it was just

it was fantastic stick Joseph Cotton, it was. It was really good stuff, very noirri and the central mystery is sort of revealed in Act two and which makes a very interesting Act three. Is all I will say really really enjoyed it. And and Criterion is great too, because the way they curate even their page is really interesting. I think they group things into themes. They'll be like

directed by or female directors or black Lives Matter section. Uh. They just have a lot of creative ways that they curate their page, aside from just like here's all the movies in alphabetical order. Do you do it on Roku or what? What? What do you do it on? I do Apple TV? Apple TV? Okay, because I'm Amazon Fire TV user, gotcha, Probably there's an app for it. Yeah,

I'm sure there is. It's good stuff. I mean the recommended I'm looking at it and that was texting Casey last night, of course, and he's you know, that's his lifeblood. He's all over Criteria channel. All right, so we're gonna get going on this page with recommendations. We'll just buzz to a bunch of these old friend zack pointers watching the Runaways. Don't know that our oldest of friends, the wonderful Stellon Carlson says he's watching Parks and Wreck for

the millionth time. A lot of people are rewatching stuff. It seems like Lena Carroll is watching Dr Foster. Have never heard of that? Have you heard of these knows? The Runaways is a Is it a movie about the Runaways? Like with I don't think so. No, there's a movie. There's a movie called the Runaways. He must be talking about some kind of maybe news. I think it's a TV sci fi superhero thing. What was that? What was the next one? Chuck? I'm sorry, I was Dr Foster.

I don't know. Dr Foster. I don't either. Let's see. Uh. Don Lozano, one of our oldest Zappels, says she's halfway through the morning show and likes it way more than she thought. That's one of those Apple originals that I will probably never see because I just don't need another streaming subscription. Um, I've got too many. I've got that one too, know. Al it's got Steve Carrell in it, I believe, right, and it's supposed to be good. I'm

sure it's great. I don't know. I've obviously got a lot of money to throw at these shows, but I just I don't have I don't. I don't know. It's too much for me. Dr Foster looks cool. Is it like a British it looks a BBC one. It looks British. You can never go wrong with the BBC. Know the Bebe Auntie Bebe. Now have you watched A Dark I started to um, it's very intriguing. Uh, it looks it reminds it makes me feel like it's gonna go into like a lost kind of direction, like an unstuckn time,

you know, alternate reality kind of situation. But I have not h finished it. But I know people are absolutely uh nuts about it. I have not seen it. Rob Andrew was watching it and he says it may have jumped the shark part way through season three in his opinion. All right, here's one Terry Kleio when our old friend says I'll be gone in the dark and Perry Mason, both on HBO. I've heard that new Perry Mason is great. I watched the first episode. It's definitely got that vibe.

It's very cool the production designs. It reminds me of a Boardwalk Empire as far as like the real attention to detail. But it's it's cool. It's like a noir kind of like he's like this grizzled private detective and it gets real raunchy too, Like there's an Oliver Hardy type character that they're following, and he's like having sex with some like ingenue using like cake, like eating cake

off of her naked body. Interesting. Yeah, it's pretty pretty filthy, but it's it's great and John Lithgo is in it, plays a lawyer and he's always awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I love lift caw uh and then I'll be gone in the dark. I think that's the one Patton Oswalt's wife who passed away. Um, the Golden Stake Killer. Yeah, I want to see that. Um is that a movie or is it? Ah, it's a it's a documentary series. Oh man, And I definitely need to see that. That was so sad.

Michelle McNamara, Uh, yeah, I need to put that on the Old List. Yeah. I mean, I think that her book wasn't finished when she passed, and a lot of her research assistants or some folks in the community helped kind of finish it because she was a definitive. I think her work led to the capture or a lot of the information led to them on turning over some stones that led to the capture of this guy who

was a former cop um, really interesting story. Most notorious rapist, uh serial rapist um in in California and murderer obviously of course too. And what a great uh, what a what a great thing to do to ensure her legacy, and that that finally came out, you know, for such a sad, sad situation, Trevor Happer and also says dark is great. Becca lou one of our old friends, is the Alienist season two. She loved the first season. She can't wait for this one. I think we saw one. See.

I read that book when it came out many many years ago and loved it. And uh, you know the did you know the premise? I have not even heard of this. Yeah, it was a book about it was historical fiction about the first serial killer in New York. Uh in the jeez, I don't even know what year it was. I guess it was sometime in the nineteenth century. And um, it was really a great book. And I think I watched an episode of the season one in

the pilot and liked it. And it was just you know how how it is and all you you got to really commit to a show these days, and I did not commit to that show. Maybe I should have. It's hard, man, because there's so many Like there's even shows where I'm like, oh, this is great, and for whatever reason, not consciously, I just drift away. I don't come back. I find something else, some other shiny object that kind of pulls me off. And then then sometimes I go back and I'm delighted, Like I was that

way with Better Call Saul. Originally I watched a few episodes and I was like, Oh, this is really cool. But then something just you know, distracted me and then took my attention away. And then when I thought you were all over that, well I was, but that was on the second go round. That was like like I had to kind of come back to it and give another shot again. But not because I didn't like it. It was just something, you know, it wasn't in the stars. But then I yeah, it became one of my favorite

shows of all times. So sometimes I think you gotta give you know, It's it's annoying to people say, oh, you gotta wait till the fifth episode. That's when it really gets good. And with everything that we've got, you know, vying for our attention, that's a hard to give four

hours to something. H Well, what we do in the Shadows has been perfect for us because we've got a lot of I don't want to get into all of it, but we got a lot of heavy family stuff going on in addition to the pandemic and my wife's business, uh floundering because of the pandemic. So we've got a lot of a lot of fires burning, and so what we do in the Shadows has been a welcome, welcome relief. Just check out and what and laugh for a couple

of hours every night. Been wonderful. It's awesome. Let me see here, Kristen Johnson, I haven't heard of this. Breeders is a British show on Hulu, darkly comic look at parenting with Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard. I love Martin Freeman. Have you seen Umbrella Academy? I really liked it. Christina Mardsen is is big on that one, and I've heard a lot of great things. I think there's a new season.

Can that'd be great? Um it? Yeah, I guess it was in production pre pre pre pandemic, which is awesome. Um it's based on it's really interesting. You may know this already, Chuck, but it's based on a comic book series created by and written by Gerard Way, the singer of the Emo band My Chemical Romance, and he has a real background in comics. He writes a lot for

this other property called Doom Patrol. And back in the several years ago when we were still doing video for How Stuff Works, we actually interviewed him at Comic Con in New York. Um, and he's really like he's not just some vanity project for a rock star, Like he's into comics before he was in a band. Um And it's a really fully for It's a little tweet like the show Umbrella Academy, but it's good man and it's very creative. It reminds me of like, you know, Watchman

a little bit and things like of that ILK. I have to check that out. I heard it's good. Let me see Melinda Baccaleo, our oldest of friends has Letter Kinney and what we do in the Shadows. I've heard a lot of great things about Letter Kinney but did not get to it. It's very funny. A lot of good memes pulled from that one just still frames Um. There's actually an unfortunate one with one of the characters.

They all coin they're like these Canadian rednecks, and there's one that's been used for a lot of racist memes and the and the guy who plays him in the show has actually spoke out about it and said, hey, trolls, stopped using my image for your racist memes and kind of spoke out about, you know how he supports Black Lives Matter movement and all this stuff and wishes people

would stop that. Hard when you're like a public figure and you have a very distinct look and then it gets co opted and used in in a way that you don't approve of, that's that's gotta suck, man, you know. I think. So, oh, here's a Bonnie Jacques who I have not seen before, so welcome. Bonnie is also watching alone from History Channel. She said, some seasons available on Netflix. New season currently airing on TV Great Outdoor Adventure, Hard to stop watching. Yeah, I totally agree. Now I haven't

I've heard of this show I May Destroy You? Is that the one you were talking about? This from Brianna Rossi says, to watch that. You know, what's the prim I think it's sort of like it's about sexual assault. Um, and please forgive my very loose overview, But it's about sort of like a working backwards to trace what happened on a night where someone was the main character I believe, was assaulted and there's like a lack of memory and it almost has this detective e vibe where it's like

he's trying to figure out what happened. Um. Oh oh wait, I'm looking at this now. I just read about this. Didn't you say you like Chewing Gum? Didn't you talk about that a while ago? You never? Okay, So Chewing Gum was a British television show that this woman and creator also had something to do with, and I believe

there's a loose connection between Chewing Gum and this. But John Cameron Mitchell is actually the one who who I saw really singing its praises and he compared it to like The Wire and the Sopranos, which was interesting because I don't think it's particularly crimey. But I don't know, I'm really intrigued and I've got to check it out. Yeah, this is uh. I know what what I read recently

is um. The creator, MICHAELA. Cole is on the Forbes thirty Under thirty was on that list and she turned down a million dollar offer from Netflix, because did you read that the wouldn't give her any back end like at all, or end ownershire i P. Yeah, they would. They wanted like you know, as we know, every other company in the world wants to own the I P for everything. That's just the name of the game, that's

the business. And she said she wanted five of her show that she created, and they said, uh, here was here was the quote that was just silence on the phone, and they said, it's not how we do things here and nobody does that. It's not a big deal. And so she said, well, if it's not a big deal, then I'd really like to have that five percent. And uh, I think eventually she went down to two percent, then one percent, and then point five percent, and then I'm

pretty sure she walked and said, get bent. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's it's it's it is the name of the game. But I guess it's BO gave her a better deal. Yeah, it's disappointing ownership, man, it's it's a So there's a lot of power in that. So good for her, that's what I say. I realized she was so young. How old is she? I don't know. You said thirty under thirty. Uh, that may have been a couple of years ago, but still I assume that

she's still relatively close to thirty. Uh. That's impressive. Well, I'll have to check that out. It looks great. Alright. No, I think that wraps it up. You can check out that thread on the Crushers page if you want some good rex and some good back and forth on what people are watching. And you got anything else? No, well, really really quickly this. I mean, look, look, I don't want to totally go down rabbit hole here, but have

you ever heard of the record label Burger Records. No, they're kind of like a very influential tape label out of Fullerton, California. Like some of their biggest bands are bands like the Growlers. There's kind of like a psychic all of this stuff is kind of garage e and psyched.

The Black Lips are the Atlanta band. The Black Lips associated with them anyway over the weekend, all of these crazy allegations of like them just creating this culture of like you know, grooming underaged girls for like sex with people in the bands and the label owners and like you know, they have a record store that's very popular among like teenagers and Californ full Aton and um. All of these allegations came out over the weekend. A instagram

called Lured by Burger Records was established. I joined it when it was like four thousand strong and a couple of days was up to twenty thousand, and today they just announced the label is closed down completely. So you know, I believe believe people when they tell these stories, you know, and it was like so many specific instances with different bands all across the culture that this label kind of created.

Uh for many many years. They were really influential and apparently just kind of had this culture that was sort of fundamentally part of the fabric of the scene and you know, the label and uh power, it's very powerful when people come out and are empowered to share their stories and they created real change because they they're done. Well, thankfully that it is happening more and mornal use your voice people, all right, Well, I think it's a great

way to end. So thank you sir, and uh we'll hit stop and then record again and do this all over again in a few minutes. Love it. Thanks for listening to everyone.
