Mini Crush #131

What what people say that Monday? We think? I think we did this before where there's that, you know, Monday Monday, but they don't say it that way. Today they say Monday Monday. They definitely enunciate it correctly. You know, I got nothing, Chuck. I think it's a Midwestern thing, like Monday week. You know, wait where if you people say Monday week? Uh yeah, that's um that feels antiquated. But does feel antiquated, doesn't it? You know what else is antiquated? Chuck?

Cinema I think it's on the way out. Honestly, man, it's really starting to catch up to me not having new movies for a while. I was like, you know, I'm fine. Plenty of movies out there to watch. But at least we're getting some snoow stuff on the streaming services, you know, and some good beefied series. You know. Have you seen that I Will Destroy You? Yeah, I've heard it. Still, I really miss my tentpoles, your tim I missed, but

I missed my tipole I wanted. I wanted The Heights and James Bond and Top Gun and that Nolan movie The Heights. Is that the lin Manuel Miranda. I'm just I wanted all that stuff. I was looking forward to all that stuff. Yeah. Um, well, good news. You've you told me some good news last week, I think. But my ex is husband, who works in film, uh, got a big, long running gig on The Walking Dead that he was very comfortable with, and he's been super cautious

about the whole COVID thing. You know. Really it was uncomfortable with certain jobs that were offered to him because he didn't feel like they were taking it seriously in the you know, social distance aspect of it, which, as we know, I mean, it's fucking hard with movies and you're working with big cruise. But he seemed very confident that this Walking Dead situation was going to be to his comfort level. And it's like a year and a

half job. So what does he do. He's like a set builder carpenter and he does he does all the big heavy lifting man things. M hm oh no. Uh so I'm talking with Bill Gates in like four hours. How exciting is that? Again? Yeah? Again? He remember that time we went to New York and hung out with Bill Gates. He with He came calling again, Nol and yeah, he's a little disappointed You're not gonna be there this time. Man, We really, we really had a report, Chuck. I know

you guys broke up big time. What's the deal with another one of his h clean energy initiatives? He wants to talk to you and Josh about No. I mean he's you know, he's all COVID all the time. That makes sense. He wants to talk about vaccines and therapeutics and yeah, we said sure, and we're gonna do a short stuff with them and just sort of have it be the episode. That's cool man, Yeah, because he was he kind of predicted this whole thing early, like in

a Ted talk. He did this Ted talk where he was really talking about how underprepared we would be for such a some very similar event. And you know, of course he was right, Um, but he also was getting a lot of like a lot of these conspiracy nuts think like it's him and the global elite. He created this for population control and to profit off of vaccine because you know, Bill Gates Nol. He is, uh, he's not rich enough. He wants more money and he's willing

to kill millions of people to get it. Oh yeah, I've always thought of him as a pure Monty Burns l evil. You know, man, he is a genuinely good human trying to do his best to leave behind a legacy on planet Earth. So and he who says all that stuff they can just stick it up their butth hole nol up right up their butt hole, which is what you used to refer to the anatomical part. But not people. People are assholes. Butt holes are exactly I will say, Chuck when I when we when we met

him that time, and this was in this hotel room. Um, he had very low profile security. I was very taken by how like chill he was and how not like it was very just like, you know, like he was a good, good dude. Call me Bill, that's uh, that should be the name of his eventual Well, I'm where he probably has had a few books written about him, but exactly I don't know if he's written on one about himself. Has he has he done a memoir? I don't know. I don't think. I don't think so okay

should be called me Bill. That's good. You should pitch that to him on the on the zoom call and he have said, excuse me, it's Mr Gates. Yes, and then he steeples his fingers like Monty Burns and laughs ominously. So, nol, I want to give you another thank you and another plug for the podcast Rivals, the podcast that you what are you doing for that? You produce it? Are you

sort of the high level producer on that? In the EP of that web I developed it, you know, with the hosts and with the production team, And uh, couldn't be cooler, dudes. Jordan's one of the hosts in particular, is working with us on a lot of other stuff and he's just one of my favorite human beings on the goddamn planet. Yeah, he sounds like a super nice guy, and um, I'm just enjoying it. For those of you that haven't heard us talk about it. It's a show

about famous musical rivals. Uh, these guys are just very affable and listen to bowl and um that that's kind of the big appeal of the show I think is they're not snobby, they're not jerks. They're just very listenable, approachable guys. That means a lot coming from you, Chuck, because you guys are kind of the model for that. Honestly. In podcast, you and you and Josh are sort of like, let's learn something, let's hang out with some dudes that we would want to be in conversation with, and that's

what makes it broadly appealing. UM music is still so niche though, like in General Music podcast, they're not gonna's growing. It's growing though, and like there's such so good at it. I'm I couldn't be more pleased. They had never met before we I literally connected them on a call and then they met in person once and the rest of the recordings have been remote. They've literally recorded in person one time, and they developed that rapport over time, and

it really is hitting a stride. I'm so proud of those guys in that show. Thanks so listening. I already I went back yesterday because I'm just sort of jumping around and checked out the pilot episode on Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham and uh, you know, pilots are tough, and they did a really good job. That was before better then, but it's um, it was really solid, awesome man. Uh, well, feel free to talk about this on on stuff you should know as well. Certainly we would love to have

some more. I talked back to him the whole time. I'm like, the whole time, I'm sure we would love to have you on the show that they had an episode that Billy Joel, Elton John episode, like all of them to leave on Helm Robbie Robertson. I'm just like saying things back to these guys. So yeah, no, that's great man, That's that's really that's a such a cool endorsement. I will pass that on to to the to the guys. Yeah, maybe I'll have helped them on Movie Crush at some

point too. A million percent. Yes, they're into all kinds of pop culture. Steve sorry does yes. Steve Hayden has written several books as well that you might take one of them. Uh, he did a radio Head book, but he also did this one called your favorite band is killing You. That's all about like rivalries. So he literally wrote, it's not the book, at least a book on most rivalries. So yeah, good, good dude. All right, nol. So what we're gonna do. We're gonna kick it off this week

with Uh. I finally saw Hamilton's Um on Disney plus the filmed version of the original cast recording of the Broadway show, and uh, we watched it Sunday night, all the way through. And you know, we had listened to the music for a while now, so we knew the show, but seeing it performed, especially from that original cast, really just brings it to life, of course in so many different ways. And man, I was just floored. It was

just amazing. Beyond the music, which was already, like I said, I knew, was great, the production was just so creative, um, very low fi and that just not a lot of big bells and whistles they did with a lot with a little which I think was super smart and let the music shine and let the cash shine, you know, the music pretty well going in and all are you

okay cool? Yeah? And the that that spinning, that spinning stage in the center was just so smart and creative, and there's so many different things they could do with that, and they just used it so well. I just um, the costuming, um, the book, everything was just off the charts great, not overhyped. It deserves every bit of it. I will say, I saw your hot take on Facebook that I still something. I've seen a lot of people say that that lin Manuel Mirandez the lead was a

little bit underpowered. Yeah, I mean I felt the need to say something to kind of stick up for him because I've seen a lot of people saying that a couple of things on that nill you if you're the genius who comes up with this idea and this execution and those songs, you get to do whatever the funk you want, you get to play Hamilton's uh. And also you know, no, he's not quite up to their level. But um, Broadway singers are the best singers in the world, right,

they're the best. Um. I mean, I guess you can make cases for the biggest pop stars, but you know, even the biggest pop stars lean on auto tune. Even if you don't think they do, they do. They get in there with that pro tools and make it sound perfect. Well, there's so much physicality and Broadway. I mean, you have to be able to sing for real every night multiple shows, and move your ass and and act and like get in and out of costume and all of the behind

the scenes stuff you don't even see. Stresses me out just thinking about it, you know what I mean, to have it go off like that, So you can't really compare him to that. He is not quite like he would not be the lead in a Broadway show had he not written a Broadway show. But it's not like he was bad. He was. He was good. He was really good. He's a good singer, he's a really good rapper. Um. And then you just can't say, like, well, he's not

Broadway level. I thought he brought something different to it. It was great. I brought it up because I agree. I didn't find it to be lacking. I thought it was just it had he had a character. I mean it's said to like as like this scrappy, it made sense for the character, you know what I mean. Yeah, Um, I I thought he did a fantastic job, and I was just I only brought it up because I've seen so many people dogging on him about it, and I'm like, what what's your problem? Like? It seems like a bit

of an hollow criticism. You know, It's like here ten people that sing perfectly and can do anything, and then here's another guy with a lot of character and the emotion he brings to it, And I just I thought it was great. I loved it. So I asked the crushers, because boy, they love Hamilton's um, let's just hear about your favorite overall moment. It's a show of moments, could be a number, could be a glance, it could be a small piece of acting. Um, and we'll go ahead

and get it going here. And I'm not gonna read any hater, no hater speech. I'm gonna let people just shower this with praise. Are you gonna read Bill Hayter's comment? Oh god, I wish let me see here. Jessica Foley says, King George my absolute favorite part. Yeah, Groff kills it. He was he was funny, he sings great. It was that that uh sort of a solo Greek chorus that was in comic relief. That was so necessary. I think in the movie. Did you see it all yet or

did you just watch the first part. I've seen about three quarters, okay, and it's it's it's the long I need to finish the ends. It's not that long, I know, but uh And then she says the Skylar Sisters and Angelica's line in particular. But when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'm gonna convince him to include women in the sequel work. That was a good part. That that number is fantastic. Greta Mansfield says, Philippa Sue and Renee Elise Goldsberry were

fabulous as Eliza and Angelica. Great singers, stole the show when they're on stage. Also loved the rat battle with David Diggs. Yeah, the rat battles were cool. Um. I like the way they did that. I don't know if you've got into that part yet, but it's the only time they held microphones. Oh no, I I just think about when he introduced himself and they're like pounding on the table and stuff like that kind of look at that.

It's not a rap battle, but it's definitely like a multi like almost like a Wu Tang situation where it's like a crew kind of trading versus. You know. That was great. Now, I guess you haven't gotten to the rat battle that's later on when um, it's a it's a debate, a policy debate framed as a rap battle, which is got And it was just so creative, you know,

all this stuff to take what a Bunker's idea. It's like, I let's tell the story of Thomas Jefferson, I'm sorry of Hamilton's and Jefferson on Broadway, and let's set it to hip hop and also pop in some sort of old school Broadway sounds. It was like a range of styles in it just kind of a nuts idea. Well also that you sort of hinted this, but the way it was filmed was better than any like Broadway TV thing I've ever seen, because it made you a feel

like you were there. But it also got cinematic at times where the camera would like push in on the actual stage and I kind of wonder how they did. They must have been on this big booms or whatever. But like, uh, it had a really cool vibe, you know, like where you kind of felt like you were a spectator, but then you also felt like you were in the

show at certain times. Yeah, and a lot of the people who saw it live said they really enjoyed the Disney plus a dish because they could just see so much more expression and all these subtle sort of facial cues. Good stuff. Josh Brennan says the Battle of Yorktown probably my favorite. So good, especially Hercules Mulligan coming in with his rap section. Oh boy, he's great. Um and Dear Theodosia is so sweet, such a great melody, not to mention some real raw sentiment for any parent. Yeah, Dear

Theodosia's boy. And I learned how to play that on the on the guitar. I'm gonna do it. You should, dude, I am Noel. That's what I just said. I would like for you to do that. Check. I support you learning this song and said it to me that now that I'm finally all ensconced in my studio and I'll actually get back to dicking with some of these tunes we've been talking about. You're two tunes, I know, dude, I know, and I'm gonna load them up. You just

reminded me. Let me see here. Emily Newton says, not a moment, not a moment in the show, but the use of color. Did anyone else notice in the second act as green Suit that darkened in color as he aged, I'm assuming it was green because money, it was pretty awesome. I want to look for more use of color like that. Yeah, Emily, I don't know if you were a mad Men watcher, but there was this great uh. I think that's a blog about mad Men and their use of color with

the costuming that goes really deep, super interesting. Same with Breaking Bad. Yeah, Walter White's kind of transformation and that was really mirrored by the change in his wardrobe color scheme. But he starts off wearing this like lime green and gradually I forget it even gets darker in tone or what happens exactly. But there's a bunch of blogs specifically talking about Breaking Bad the colored use as well. Very cool.

I love it. Jacob Johnson says, I want to be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens. Burr is a powerhouse performer. It's that point in the show you fully understand where their character is coming from. Yeah, that's a that's a tough role to play the villain. You know, he killed it so so good. That guy Leslie Odom Jr. Is on someone who one of my podcasts hosts actually kind of sort of discovered, I guess, or at least signed to his label s Curve Records.

It's guy Steve Greenberg who does this show with us called The Speed of Sound just launched. Check that out wherever you get podcasts. But yeah, he was very instrumental in Leslie Odom Jr. Kind of coming into his his own boy. He was good. Uh. Lennia Barnett brings up a point that I love Noel blown away by the stage direction, especially the rotating section. Also, the bullet as a character throughout the entire show was really well done. Yeah.

I noticed that. And they don't really spell out exactly what they're doing there. You just kind of have to watch closely and you're like, oh, that lady's a bullet coming from the gun. Very neat, very creative. Uh. Div Digs, he just steals the show. It's hard to pick a favorite when you've got someone like Digs on stage. He plays two characters, right, Yeah, he plays uh Jefferson then market to Lafiette in the beginning with a great French accent. It's funny. I was just sort of had some regret

that I hadn't seen Hamilton's when I interviewed him. Um, because I just sort of mentioned it briefly. But now that I look back, I'm sure he was. I'm sure he liked that. He probably was sick of talking about Hamilton's and really wanted to talk about Blind Spotting, so um, he sort of came across as appreciative afterward. And I'm glad I would not have been able to not talk about Hamilton's had I've seen it, So it's probably a

good thing. Greg Hudson agrees, King George seen Steeler and usually my favorite moments Brian Long the opening thirty minutes, such an impressive start, so much talent on the stage. Josh Toco all loves Dear Theodosia, such a sweet song, Noll. There was a lot of tears flowing in our house. You know, I can't I can't wait to hear you play. I don't think I'm gonna even watch the rest of the movie. I just want to hear your version here,

you're I want to hear your interpretation. Well, Emily, I would have to do it together because it's got great, great harmonies. All the better. Mike Sam says, dig steals the show. Philip A. Sou beyond amazing. Renee. At least Goldsberry comes out of nowhere, which is funny because she is in her late forties and she's been around the block. Groff is the man, but I'm gonna pick a smaller moment. At one point, Washington tells Hamilton's dying is easy, young man,

living is harder. Later, in a reprise, Washington tells Hamilton's winning is easy, young man, Governing is harder. Yeah, there was a lot of subtle stuff like that. A boy who was the guy who played Washington. He was fucking great. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't recognize him, but he did. I did make it to his first big scene, I think. Uh. I think one of my favorite moments of the show.

Uh was when he retires and that whole sequence where Hamilton's is charged with writing his retirement speech and they kind of juxtas they kind of pass each other as like they're singing at the same time, but Hamilton's front of stage, and then Washington kind of comes out and takes over as Hamilton's fades into the background. Uh. And then just the whole notion of like this man that did so much for our country, George Washington, like would have been a shoe in for reelection and just wanted

to go home to Mountain Vernon and farm. Very sad and you know, in a good way. Now, how do you feel about this criticism that they just completely gloss over the fact that all these men were slave owners? You know, I mean, that's not the show they were making. Um, you can pick apart anything if you don't do accurate historical retelling. I just I don't know. I think he had a story to tell and he told it well,

of course, and I'm just being Devil's abog here. And obviously there's some power in casting it with all black casts, and that's sort of part of it where it's like we're re what's the word, I mean, I guess re contextualizing the story. We can still be patriotic and appreciate aspects of history without having to condemn people that did great things but also did horrible things. It's like it's sort of the idea of like separating the art from

the artists. It's different than that, but it's like, you know what I mean, Obviously there's some reverence for these figures, but also you know, we all know that they were very complicated figures. They also did some shitty stuff. Um, I would be interested to hear Lenn Manuel Miranda talk about that aspect of it. I just I mean in recent weeks, sure, because it came out on Disney Plus and then everyone decided to like start hitting him upside the head with a hammer because he didn't do it

exactly how they wanted. It just annoys me. Noll, No, I I feel it's a great musical heat. You know, have you seen the Beyonce movie. No, I have not. It just came out on Disney Plus. Well, that looks fantastic. She's great too, Joshua Hall says, one Last Time gets me every time. Yeah, that's what I was just talking about. Chris Jackson, that's his name. One Last Time so good. Nol Wait for It My favorite song. This is from Nick Kelly. Seeing in real life was truly something as

far as Stagecraft. The Eye of the Hurricane part was really awesome to see. Yeah, a lot of people like wait for It. It's hard to pick up a favorite. You know. Another thing I love Nolan and no one's mentioned this yet was the Dueling Rules, Because you know, josh and I did a podcast on dueling years ago, and it's I think to the UH uninitiated that they just think dueling was just like stand with your backs

and walks in paces and shoot. But there's so much more to the rules of dueling, and I think they really to spell those out too, to know that you the value of spelling out those rules. UH in a music in Musical Forum was just very cool. Loved it. You were seeing the movie Barry Lynden Chuck. Yes, no, we've covered that on this very show. Great. I I just another speaking of movies that I didn't finish, oh Man, well, although I made it too. There's an intermission. There's actually

literally a title car that says intermission halfway through. UM. And I think it's fantastic. UM. It's something I wasn't expecting it at all. It's obviously Kubrick's big period piece, you know, master work. It's all lit with natural lighting, candles and stuff. It's amazing. It's actually really funny, and it's got a it's a dueling, a pretty important dueling thing in it too, that that I thought was funny and beautifully executed as well. Great movie. Berta Buzon Ferguson says,

so many moments. But as New Jersey residence with a son in law whose parents were immigrants, we loved everything is a legal in New Jersey and immigrants, we get the job done. Great moments. Agree fully. Let me see here, Dave Barlow and a lot of people said this. David Barlow says the rewind during Satisfied, the way they told the story of Um of Hamilton's and his relationship with Eliza and her sister, and playing things out in reverse and jumping around with the timeline very very creative. It

wasn't just straight up musical goodness, you know. It really was an innovative use of the form kind of you know what I mean, in a lot of ways. Yeah, for sure. Tony Cox also says the rewind sequence from Satisfied going back through Helpless Helpless is a great song too. That's a little sugar pop goodness. Okay, well here it is, Jessica Lynn Dalba, Uh tell my story at the end, boy boy, the endingnal just get ready. It's uh, it's it's interesting. It's a Broadway show. You know, I think

you count on Broadway shows to finish big. Um Hamilton's finishes small. It's a great effect the opening number, Melinda beccal Leo. I researched it and watched it again to pick up all the subtle hints and wordplay. Yeah. I saw a little YouTube of the cast, kind of an a zoom thing when they're asking what their favorite songs were, and they were picking all these great songs and then, um,

who's the guy who played burr Leslie? Yeah, he named a few, but then he went and you know the the intro he said, to to pack that much history into a three plus minute song as an overview of his life, he said, it was just each stands. It was so dense with information, just brilliant. Did you see way back in the day when uh back in the holcyon days of your when Obama was president? Um lin, Manuel Moran did that sequence by himself at at an Obama dinner events or something like that or some kind

of function. Oh well, I saw the cast do it at an Obama thing, but I did not see him do it by himself one early on before I think it was still in production, like it was probably the workshop days. Yeah, that's exactly right. He did, like all of the voices and all of the characters for the for the whole opening sequence, his pianist accompanying him. It was incredible. Yeah, because he did a workshop version. He did it off Broadway and then Broadway, and a handful

of the actors were there for all of it. I think Digs is one of them, and um and Jackson who played Washington. It's a kidding goods using yet a little bit uh, King George. Everyone loves Diggs and King George. Of course. Boy Diggs really steals the show in a lot of ways, and all people love him. He's got such a unique voice, such a good rapper and singer. Love thing like that. Oh yeah, Oh, he's fantastic. He holds his own and every way. I really love his Uh.

I've talked about this, I think multiple times, his weird hip hop project clipping. It's like super kind of horror wrap, like very very weird and psychedelic and uh, lots of interesting production to like. The guy that does the production for it is actually sort of more of a noise guy, so it's very experimental hip hop. It's really good stuff if you're into something a little weird in your in

your hip hop. Yeah, I was. I was telling Emily about it, and she said what I like it, and I said probably not, But I said, I don't think it's for you, but it's great. All right. Now we're gonna move on from Hamilton's and we're gonna talk about another post here. What's one movie you can always watch it anytime, for any point if it's on. Everyone's got those movies. A lot of us have a lot of them. You got one goal that you can think of. Yeah, it's funny because I actually put it on last night.

Jurassic Park is one. Um. I just there's something in every scene that grabs me and NAT pulls me in and I just stick with it, you know, Uh, you can kind of walk away, and that's when I've seen so many times that I can kind of reconstruct the missing parts in my mind no matter where I picked up. Yeah, I would say that's one totally. All right, We're gonna start here with Adam had Adds his Double Impact. My father, brother and I love martial Arts and Van dam movies

growing up may have been our favorite. It's by no means good, but it's always fun to watch. Yeah. I think a lot of times these I mean, sometimes they're great movies, but sometimes they're just that comfort food that we love so much. Brian Thomason, a longtime listener, new to the Facebook page. Welcome Brian, This is NOL. Say hi Nol. Hello, are you with us? Yeah, I'm here. Okay, Sorry, Mike, Mike. My computer dinged and I don't know why, and I

was confused. I looked like probably a deer in headlights for a second. I've got everything muted and I'm headphoned up. But my actual computer made a dang, and I don't know where that ding came from, So forgive me. Well. Welcome Brian back to the future. Any of them they're already easy watches but endlessly entertaining. Still, Yes, absolutely, Jackie Warrens has Blues Brothers. I grew up with the mentally ill mothers, so I never had a lot of sleepovers

or parties. But my fourteenth birthday I had a slumber party. My dad coordinated the whole thing, and he helped keep my mom kind of out of the way and rented three VHS movies, Rocky Horror, Ferris Bueller, and Blues Brothers. That's great, what a great story. You know. I still haven't seen Blues Brothers or Rocky Horror. All the way through. Wow, rocky horror is. I mean, it's great, But the third act I don't love, so I think it's front loaded,

but that's just me. Well, then I think I've seen the good parts then, because i've I've definitely seen the beginning in the middle. Um, I don't think I finished it. Yeah, see, I think I think I rented it one time and it just lost me in the third act because I was kind of like, well, I don't understand what's going on, and I just sort of drifted and stopped paying attention. I will tell you this though, another movie, a lesser

known can't be that kind of rock opera movie. Have you seen The Phantom of the Paradise, Chuck, I've never seen it. It's obvious. I've seen bits and pieces. Dude. It's so good. It's really cool. It's Brian de Palma, Uh, what's his name? I'm Paul Williams. As all the music like the Muppet movie music, and it's just great. The songs are good. It's campy and fun and like violent and weird and sexy. It's just great. I highly recommend

weird and sexy. Let me see me Linda bccalleo says, a lot of movies Jaws, Ghostbusters, Blazing Saddles, Airplane, and many many more. Yeah, those are all on my list, I can uh. Hebert says, Oh, brother, where art thou? In my opinion, one of the few perfect movies story writing, acting, cinematography, soundtrack. Really love it and I've watched it hundreds of times. Yeah, a lot of these are on my list too. Caitlin

Callaghans is almost famous one of my favorites. I can't count one on one hand how many times I've watched it from beginning to end, Yet I know I've watched it in fragments dozens of times. Yeah, it's okay to check in and out of a movie. I don't do it as much anymore because we don't have cable, so it's not like we're flipping around and to see a movie. You know. That's true. Yeah, that's a really good point. It's not really a phenomenon that happens organically as much anymore.

Uh something, Maybe you shouldn't hearing a poll from the crushers who still watches proper cable where they like, you know, actually clip channels around. I feel like so many people and with HBO and all these other things being available, all the cart are not doing that anymore, you know what I mean. I think it's happened in a bigger way over the last couple of years for sure. Uh yeah, maybe I'll put a pull up. No, we can get a number on that. I'll get back to you with

some data. Uh, Anika raz what a name? Anka zik Ahmed? I hope I didn't get that middle part wrong. Great name, Zutopia. It's probably because I don't have a kid that watches it on repeat, so Anica dislikes Utopia. That's a good movie. I was want of first movies. My favorite part. There's a lot of good giftable moments in that movie. There's the sloth, the d m V so funny like smiles and kind of comes alive. That's a really good, good

little moment. Yeah, those are those are great, Okay. Jim Aroyo says, uh, Groundhog Day fun trying to figure out where you are in the film when you drop in. Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. It could be a drinking game. I think that's true. That's a really good idea. Yeah, because it kind of gives you hints at what's happened already too, So it's like I think

he'd be I think he'd be all right. Yeah. Uh, Anthony pest x as Good Fellows are Casino Scorsese at his best, and those two just sucked me in at any place. Yeah, I can watch those at any at any point, Jesse Baxter says the Big Lebowski. Oh God, yes, that's that's a perfect example of one I would I would continue watching that if I caught it. Also, the TV version and the way it's edited for TV with

the swears is some of the most creative dubbing. Yeah, there's dude in the part where he's like, this is what happens, Larry, this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass, Larry. It's something like when you find a when you find a stranger in the Alps. My favorite, I don't know I've mentioned this before, and I think probably stuff you should know was the TV version of do the Right Thing, Said Mickey Fickey said a motherfucker. I thought it was so great, Mickey Finkey,

Nicky Fickey. That's fun. That's sort of a good stand in. I mean, it's sort of making the same sounds Yeah. Uh Landi's good, says Wes Anderson. Um olive dogs, fantastic. Mr Foxman, Rice Kingdom lands me in a nostalgic and dreamy world. Oh no, his new movie too. We get we're getting screwed on. They bumped that one man. Okay, wait a minute, wait minute. Did you hear about the Mulan situation on Disney Plus what or not like that? So they're putting out Milan on Disney Plus live action.

The live action was looks pretty cool. Um. It wasn't like when I was like super excited about but it looks cool. It looks kind of Crouching Tiger hidden dragon esque. Um. And they're putting it on Disney Plus for thirty bucks. But you get it forever as long as you have the subscription. It's not like a one time thing and then it's gone. It's sort of like buying the movie for your Disney Plus account. As long as you have

a Disney Plus account, you'll have the movie. And again, like to your point, if you have like a little watch party with like five or six folks, thirty bucks isn't bad at all. Yeah, I mean I'm interested in that meeting where they're like, how how do you think we can go here? Like the other movies have tapped out at so another ten. I mean, it's a big budget movie. My friend Stacy worked on that went all over the World, moll Dressing people, Josh Brennan's With You

and Old Jurassic Park. Such a good movie, just pitch perfect. And we talked about this, like Spielberg really just knows how to make a damn movie. Like that's the most like obvious statement of of our that's Spielberg. He's really going places with these these movies. But no, there's something about every frame, something happens that draws your eye creatively or some clever bit of you know, repartee between the characters. Just always something like it's it's just it really just

keeps you, keeps you invested. It's always something with the Spielberg, the Spielberg character. Alright, No, there's there's a bunch of favorites on here. I think we should wrap it up though. I mean I'm seeing Holy Grail, League of their Own Glory, Predator, Pulp Fiction, Big Lebowski again, Fried Green Tomatoes. These are all just comforting movies that everyone loves. General how do you feel about Predator to Chuck and I've never seen it.

Is that a movie? Yeah, it's pretty funny. It's it takes place in the super dystopian l a where like drug gangs just run the streets like literally just melee machine gun fights in the middle of the streets with Danny Glover, you know, popping out with his glock and just taking out these drug dealer kind of zombie types. And there's some really problematic scenes with some Jamaican gang members that just does not play well. Uh they're doing like voodoo and ship like It's just it really did

not age well. Um. But overall it is a bonkers, absurd, over the top, like almost trauma level bonkers kind of movie. Maybe I'll check it out one day. All right, everybody, that's it for this week.
