Mini Crush #137

and conflating all eighties female focused bands. What's wrong with me? Off to the Go Goes were truly superior. I think there you go. I knew one of them was like the sort of holy grail of that era. Yeah, there's a great you at least uh to everyone know. Um, there's a great documentary on the new documentary about the Go Goes on Showtime that I highly recommend. Do you do you go out for Showtime? Chuck? Do you have?

Do you do? The piecemeal cable package ala carte thing that we were dreaming of for low these many years and now it's a reality, and it's just kind of fucking annoying. I don't think it's annoying. I got a lot of yeah services as it turns out, though, Um, I was kind of counting him the other day, and you know, I'll get one. I got the Epics one because I wanted to see that Laurel Canyon documentary. Now, I was just sitting there gathering dust. Echo and the Canyon,

that one with fucking Bob Villain's son. The good one different, a better one. Oh good, because we've talked about this, my my feelings about that, and there's good. The archival stuff is good. But when Jacob starts running his mouth, I'm just like, oh my god, Yeah, move on. Yeah, it's uh. The the other one's really really good. Cool. I love those, all those bands. The whole era is just magical to me. L A holds a real special place in my heart as far as like music and

that sound. Yeah, And well, you know, since we're talking and I've been plugging rivals like crazy. Uh, I just started. They just dropped the I think what will be a three part series on Crispy Stills, Nash and Young and the David Crosby episode debut. First, Uh, do they talk about that documentary that you mentioned recently? They do well, they talk about that. They cover everything. I love those guys.

That's so good to hear. Chuck and I have passed that onto them and need to figure out a collab. He know they're they're fans of yours as well. Yeah, well, I'll have to get them on the movie Crush too. I'm sure they could hold their own in the movie depart no doubt, no doubt, solid pop culture guys. Stephen just came out with a book on kid A the Radio, The Seminal Radiohead album really a whole book record. I'm really excited to check up. Boy, I tell you what

noll there is. I mean, I love all of Radiohead, but when you turn the lights down and everything in its rice right place, just like I just start shivers thinking about it. Yeah, those opening notes are some of the It's one of the best entrees into a record in history. It's so funny. I'm literally getting tingles just

thinking about that. It's such a special album and you're right, one of the great opening songs, and and such an interesting album for them because it was like, okay, Computer sort of dipped the toe in the water of that electronic kind of stuff, and then this one just like jumped off the cliff, like yeah, high dive style, just kick the door open. One of one of my favorite

bands and all of all time. And I know we talked about it before, but they're they're they're not slipping at all, Like a moon Shape Pool was one of my favorites of theirs. It's great, yeah, no, And it's like they're the kind of band that wouldn't do it if they didn't just love it, Like they wouldn't put out a record if it wasn't like important to be part of their whole uvra. Yeah, And I think that's why they take their time. I saw recently, Um, not Johnny,

but his brother is that Colin Greenwood. Colin said something about new radiohead music and he says, we're we're gonna do it, and you know, we just take our time like they're gonna do like five or six years in between. I think, oh yeah, Well, each of them always has their own little stuff cooking, like Pill the drummer even made a solo record, and uh Ed O'Brien recently came out with a record. It's a very Brazilian influenced. I

think he spent a lot of time in Brazil. And it has sort of that world music kind of vibe to it. It's cool. Actually, the interview might have been with Ed Obrian now that I'm thinking about it, because he was pumping that new album. Yea, alright, Noel, let's get going, buddy, let's do it. I got a little treat for you in the next segment. But this segment, we're gonna start out with, uh, favorite revenge movies at that. I don't know if you like revenge movies, but I do.

I do big favorite. Well, there's an amazing Asian revenge trilogy Korean by Chan Wook Park. Old Boy is one of them. Then there's Sympathy for Lady Vengeance did not see It? And Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Those are both excellent, Chuck. If you liked Old Boy, you will like these, and they are. They're not like related character wise, but they are. There's revenge trilogy. All right, We're gonna check this out, of course. Yeah, I'm sure there will be some kill

bills in here, a great one. Blue Ruin one of my favorite little indie revenge thrillers. Uh, and we're going bottom up again, Noel, to give the late crushers their due you know, I listened to that episode last night. Just sometimes I'd like to in the wild for fun, because it's almost like hearing for the first time as we we do so many of these sens forget we

talked about, and I love the bottom up thing. It was delightful to hear from new people and it gave you even like found a cousin or something on there, you know, knew so cool. Alright, So we're going truly bought him up with Kelly Conklin And she says Home Alone bad, that sort of a revenge movie in a way. Yeah, that kids a fucking psychopath. Well I'll tell you what, man,

I don't know what it was. But when I saw that movie the first time, I thought that whole break in sequence was one of the funniest, like fifteen minutes I had ever seen in a movie. Oh it's great. Yeah, And like there was a thing on Netflix a while back where it was movies that almost didn't get made or something like that, and Home Alone was on there, and um, it showed how storyboarded all that stuff was and how like choreographed to a t that whole sequence was.

And they also had like a second floating camera that was like a lower quality like bulex type camera used like I guess there's thirty thirty two millimeter and this was like sixteen millimeter or something, and they used that to capture a lot of the overhead like slip and fall shots, and they just had it running at the same time. They ended up using it a bunch, even though it was like a lower quality film or something

like that. I'm not a film nerds. I'm not using the wrong terms, but it was interesting to hear them talk about it. Yeah, it's a thirty five millimeter not pretty five the number, and they probably did shoot sixteen, which is you would think it would be half, but it's not. And I think I think the reason is the sound strip. I don't think you might be right. I think that's that's exactly right. I don't know. I

don't know either, but would he would know? Uh? Jennifer Adolph says, Fatal Attraction pretty great revenge movie, and it's just a great thriller all around. Was that pre basic instinct? You know? They were right around the same time. I'm not sure which was first. There's that golden age of erotic thrillers right there. Golden Age of Michael Douglas's penis. Oh, actually you don't see his penis, but you can imagine it,

you know. I think he should have shown a little peen. Yeah, now, you know, just to just to to match to put his penis, wear his mouth this hang do you think you should hang? Doug? Doug? A lot of kill bills, David Mills, t J Danny, Sean McFarland, a lot of people differentiating between one and two. I'm not seeing that. I mean to me, it's a package. I agree, I agree. And in fact, wasn't there a rumor of like some big ultra long single edition that he was gonna put together.

I hadn't heard that, but I'd support that. I would too. I haven't seen those in forever. I'd like to check those out again. Cruel intentions. I like me a little cruel intentions. That's from Laura Byorkland and I do too. And she posted a black and white gift and that reminds me. Noll. I saw a post the other day on the Crushers page where someone said something about black and white Tim Burton's Batman looking better and black and white? Have you There are clips where people have transferred to

black and white, and it looks awesome. It makes sense because the design of it is so like, I don't know, I feel like it's already such a muted palette that it makes a lot of sense to guts. It's all about light and dark and just you know, black and white. I watched that with my kid the other night. I at least started to She wouldn't stop ragging on it.

But she liked it. I could tell, because it's just, you know, it's just like it very much is its own thing, Like it's trying to be this noir kind of like stylized thing, so it doesn't even feel like an eighties movie or like, I don't think it like is a of the time. But she thought the Batman costume was really stupid looking. Really, it's a pretty standard Batman. It's a little boxy, it's a little around around the face. That's a little boxy. But she I could tell she

was engaged. But that part where the joker, like you know, uses that joy buzzer and fries that guy to death. I mean, that's that's pretty funny. That's pretty fine. Check out some of those black and white clips and all it really works. I will the danger of and Gail Koontz is Deadpool. Sure, a lot of John Wicks to Noel, Joe no Church, Rob barr uh more, kill Bills oh or old Buddy uh or Old Buddy Allison Keller says

John Tucker must die. I never saw that, but I heard that was pretty good, sort of a little tongue in cheek thing. Uh. Is that? Okay? It's a movie something else? Yeah, and I don't think I as seen that. What about? Are there are there any v for Vendetta's on there? That's a good one. I'm not seeing any v for Vendetta as yet, but your your pal to odd clients as Mandy, Yeah, I love it. Man after your Heart, I love it. And speaking of Michael Fang

says Batman, Uh yeah. I mean you could make an argument that most of the Batman movies or revenge movies, it's all one big revenge. He's upset because they killed his mommy and daddy. Spoiler Noel, Oh, well that's an origin story that we've only seen that in eight movies. Now, exactly how do I google this Batman black and White? I know that sounds like a dumb questions I'm literally giving Burton Batman black and white, and nothing comes up on the YouTube's Oh it auto corrected two statues, so

it's showing me actually figures I got it. I got it, I got it? What did it? What did it? Statue come from? It just it like auto did it. But uh, I don't know no word. I'm saying it was like one of those Google instant where it was like, that's something a lot of people google. Yeah, Oh it looks great. It makes perfect sense the way it shot to do it this way the chemical plant heist scene. Oh it

looks great, does right. I don't know how they if someone just that's probably pretty easy to do, and they probably did. You see the Mad Max Fury Road black and white. Addition that that was actually officially put out or it's like on the DVD or something. I don't think that. I mean, be it works, but that movie was such a vibrant color blast. I didn't understand it, but it was something they wanted to do. I think he initially wanted it to be in black. Mike Relio

wouldn't let him. Yeah, I think I agree. Amanda Gilson says Hard Candy I never saw that and so does our old buddy Gaston Caroline Gaston. Yeah, I need to check that out. I heard good things about that. Isn't that with Juno? Wasn't Juno in the is she look? What's her name? What the hell's her name? You mean Juno? Or the Ellen Ellen page Ellen page from Juno? I think she like is basically torturing like a sex offender

for the whole movie. It's one of the I've never watched because I don't go out for those those tortury movies. They just made me squirm too much. But I have heard it's very good. Yeah, I think there's a lot Like I love revenge movies, but I think the torture stuff is where I draw the line swift death. Yeah, is what I'm looking for. Noel, there you go. Ray Scantling says, does John Wick count I mean it's sort of the only going in that movie. It's revenge, right? Yeah?

Is it is it? Would you say? It's specifically about the dog? Sure? And and is a big blood lusty exactly. Chris McIntire says there will be blood. Totally agree Michael Reid's as the Limey how is there will be blood of revenge? Movie. Oh, I mean it's it's I think it's sort of one of the central focuses is the revenge between plain View and the Preacher. Boy. That's right, that's a good point. I never thought about that. It's been a long time as I've seen it. I need

to watch that again. That's such a excellent film. Cheryl Creech, Signer or Senior says, Carry the original Carry. There's a few of those on here. Forture, Patricia Ray Escavaria, great names. John Wick again, Jaws for that's from David bo Bennock. Oh goodness, is it the Shark getting revenge? I haven't seen Jows for. Well, it's called Jaws for Colin the Revenge, so I think. So. First Blood that's from j. J uh Leat So you know, I don't. I would argue,

I don't know. First Blood, it's such a well maybe it's a revenge movie. Yeah, I guess it's a revenge movie. Okay. The Revenant that's from Hans Bronzel. The Revenant, Knol a movie I could only sit through once, even though I really liked it, but I didn't want to see it again. Yeah, it wasn't particularly pleasant, but it's it's definitely good. Um what about the Crow, Chuck, how do you feel about the Crow? You want to know something? Nol Huh never seen it? Okay, Uh No, I don't know. I guess

it's it's not like an important movie. I mean, it's interesting, the whole lore behind it, with Brandon Lee getting killed and all that. By the blank I was supposed to be a blank, but I I really loved it when I was a broody teenager. I don't know how it would hold up to watch today, but I think it's a It's definitely a good revenge story. I don't know why I didn't see it really, I mean it was in college. It was sort of right up my alley looking at it. I don't know the crow got by me. Hmm.

I think maybe I don't know. I have no audition. That was a good revenge movie. Great soundtrack, Oh my god. Audition is That's one of those movies that just like threw me for a loop. I didn't know what I was getting into. It sort of tricks you and thinking it's sort of a melo drama, and then like halfway through or even three quarters through, it just shifts gears and goes full murder fantasy, like it's really upsetting. Gone girl. That's from Abbie Bleakly. I love all these new old pals,

new old pals. I love that. Let's finish up here with a true old pal. Cat gim Bruno says, is it bad that my mind went right to Heathers? No, not at all. Heathers. That's one that that that that that slipped under my radar for many years, and I corrected that a few years ago, and I think it's just great. I should mention. Emily Lloyd says nine to five on the lighter side for sure, great revenge movie. I love that movie. Is that what that we talked about?

That that's with Dolly Parton right, Yeah? Yeah, the the trio of Fantastic Ladies. Uh, Cat Blue Wow, that's old school Jennifer fitz Fee, Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin cat Belue. That's a good old school movie. Nol probably never heard of that, have you? No? I haven't, But you know I did start watching the other day was Clute. I started watching Clute Clutes great? Yeah, I mean about halfway through I just said it wasn't because I wasn't enjoying it.

Something came up, or I know it was my kid came home and uh, she wasn't down for clute, really cool noir vibe very seventies, like very slow to get going, but then once it does, you're like kind of invested. You can find me in the conversation. I'm definitely gonna finish it. Yeah, good stuff, all right, and we will truly finish with our old pal and top fan Trish laughterhouse gilbreath with the girl with the dragon tattoo, and she says, the American version, I thought they were both

really good. So you know, it's one of the few times that a remakeup of foreign film I thought was awesome, and I thought the Swedish version was super awesome. All right, Noel, So what we're doing is we're gonna invite in a little special guest, something we don't normally do for a new bit, a new game guest, a guest that is right, and so we want to welcome to the show old favorite casey Pegrum, everybody. Hey, hey, hello, Okay, look at that special guest. I feel like I've I've been I've

been summoned from the from the ether. Uh you indeed, have you materialized before my very eyes in zoom form, at least not corporeally. But yeah, you know, we're we're still working on the corporeal manifestation. But that's that's that's some next level what's next level magic? Right? So guys, uh, welcome to the show Casey again. And what I decided to do last night, it's like I need some new bits and need some new segments and it needs some new fun games like a little movie games, Nol's holes.

It's a lot of fun. But uh, I thought we would do a game, and originally was going to do do this with Noel, but then I thought, you know what, I give Noel enough ship on the show, and I don't want to just design a game for for knowl to fail at because that's not fun. But I thought, you know who would be good at this would be Casey because here it is. It's a timer game. It's

called pop Quiz hot Shot. And what what we're doing, Casey is We're going to go through ten questions in which you have to name three movies of you know, with a certain clue. But you have ten seconds for each question, okay, for possible thirty points. And I thought the timer aspect might rattle Noll a bit. And are we competing against each other? Are we ding ding dinging? Now? Okay, this is all so okay, and it is just here to observe. He's here to observe and to help me

with the scoring. And if there are any uh um, what do you call it? Like anything? We need to look at referee kind of situation. Perhaps a time breaker? Yeah, yeah, so, and here's the old do Casey. I'll do a timer. I should have done all this beforehand. But I'm gonna make two columns and I'm gonna do hashtags in each column. Uh that's my scoring method, Casey. You might not be aware. It's very very esoteric. What are you really going to

score it? I absolutely will score it, Chuck. I need to work on scoring like a normal human and not like a freaking weirdo. What what should I use for my for my chime? Um set? An alarm or a time us loudest and obnoxious and yes yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah exactly yeah something. That's what Hodgement always did. He called it the clackson. But what is that called on on an iPhone? Do you know? Let's take a little it's definitely not called slow rise. We've got how about ripples?

Something very gentle. No, let's see, that's what I used when I wake up. All arm actually crazy right now is what we're doing. No, they love it. They love it. By the seaside Beacon since people tuning out. My daughter made this for Meff Gundam to knocka It's like it's an anime thing. Oh, Internet, do you love us right now or what? None of these seem right? They all they're all so gentle sounding. There's there's Presto. All right,

I'm just gonna be Presto. It's Presto's good. It's obnoxious enough. Well, you know, we do have a producer, Chuck. We can just have him like replace you know, your folders crystals with taster's choice. You know, maybe we should just replace everything with like get a sound fall of nul burping and then just loop that. Yeah. I have a whole voice memo devoted to just bodily sounds of mine that I used for music. I just sample to make beats out of all. Right, casey, are you nervous? Yes, I

think you're gonna do well. I think it. Don't think about the timer. Yeah, okay, we got our own care we got our scorekeeper, all right, and just concentrate on the question and then three clues, and I just named the movie as soon as I can figure it out. You'll see, all right, you have ten seconds, Casey, to name three movies with colors in the title. Blue Velvet, it Blue Valentine, Oh god, Red Sparrow? Is that a movie? Oh that's a good question, Casey. Is Red Sparrow a movie?

It is? Right? Wasn't that the Jennifer Lawrence thing? Yeah? Is that what it was called? Yes, it is. You got that one, Casey, one hashtag and the left column for you, my boy, I think you got two right, Blue Velvet and Red Sparrow. No, you did three. Okay, but don't you just get one point if you get it? What is there partial points awarded? It's a possible thirty points. Okay. So I got three out of three? Yeah, you got three out of three. Okay. We also would have accepted

the trilogy Red, White, and Blue. Oh god, yeah, we'll see. That's the kind of stuff that would take me a little more than ten seconds to come up with. Under the gun, I know you, Casey, I thought you were gonna go right for that. So wait, it's ten points per movie, thirty points per round, or the possible thirty total for the game. I'm sorry, three three per movie, right, and three movies. It's one point per goddamn answer. Okay, he just got three points, so you're doing thirty questions,

ten questions three ea. Okay. Oh I should have known you said one point per answer. Yes, I got it. There three answers. I got it. Okay. Great. You made it sound like it was it was all or nothing, though I felt that way too. That's why IM up. It's all my fault. That was clear. No, no, he says, we're all We're all complicit here, Chuck. All right, I feel like I should change this now because I had it loaded for Knoll, So, uh, I'm gonna skip that

for now. I'm gonna come back to it. So we're gonna go with this one now, Casey ready, in ten seconds, name three movies not in the same franchise scored by John Williams Star Wars. Did you know that's how we'd I was gonna see Lord of the Rings as Hard for Jaws, John's the franchise, right and Indiana John's two out of three. I'm sorry, all right, buzzer got me? And what you can't do, Casey is say you know, I was gonna say Lord of the Rings, but I think that that's kind of a waste of time. Right,

ten seconds goes fast, doesn't it? Is it to ten? It's ten? Right, it's ten. So two out of three not bad? Two out of three ain't bad. It's a meat loof song. Do you feel like ten seconds is two little time? It's not. It's just that these are these is a nightmare scenario for me. So I'm just ten seconds. It's like a ton of time. It should be called lightning. I'm into this. I'm into this. Do you wish you I'm I'm kind of jealous that I'm not in the hot seat, honestly, but when you're crushing it,

you're crushing it. Casey. Let's let's let's let's go. Let's go. All right? All right, Casey, I'm sorry. Do you wish you had not answered your no? I'm actually on the fun all right, all right, Casey? In ten seconds, name three action movies with female leads. The speed count, sure, sounder, bullet, Okay, Jesus almost said a time now I don't know. I hate action movies. Who cares? That's my store loser answer one O three. We also would have accepted mad Max

Fury Road, Atomic Blonde Terminator to Alien. What's the nineties one? Um, that nineties action movie with a woman? That one, Well, it was kind of that novel at the time. It was like marketed that way. That's a good point. Um, I don't know. There was that one with a blank slate right now, Well there's that one with Bridget Fondah. Yeah yeah, point of no return, point of no return. Yeah, yeah, that would have worked. Y e see when there's no

clock guys, clock man. Alright, not bad, I meant, all right, now you're you're doing a great Casey. Not really take my compliment. We'll keep a running tally too over over the next year. Okay, okay, kind of make it up over time, and we'll see how nod does can build back to the new Casey. Trust me, Noel will spend eight seconds going, uh, that is not true, Chuck, and that's not fair or nice? Uh an articulate boy. All right, Casey.

In ten seconds, name three movies that involved bank robbery, Oh, dragged across concrete heat, and uh I could I could have just said speed again. Is there a bank robbery and speed? I don't know. No, I don't think they're great. I was trying to I was trying to go back. There's like a there's a late twenties movie called like the American Gun Slinger, the Great gun Slinger, just the Gun Slinger, And I got stuck on the nuances of the title, and and then my brain just decided to

screw it. Do you know what else would it work? Batman the Dark Night has a good bank heist, but there's too many. That's the problem. It's like this, the embarrassment of choices in my brain just like says, no, none of it something you want to go with. You want to go with the coolest ones too. Well. Also, I was I had I had this suspicion because of this list you would send me last night and all that this might all be art house oriented. So for the last like twelve hours, my brain has just been

like art house world. And now I'm like, I've got to think like Hollywood mainstream, and it's just not happening today. Chuck chuckles. To go broad for these quizzes, you guys will turn the tables on me. At some point I will take the same quiz and uh to your design, and I'm sure it will be nerve wracking. By the way, that reminds me that speed thing reminds me that one of my favorite Simpson's Jock's Ever do you remember that

one about speed? But but I Homer was telling a story about the movie Speed, and he said, it's it's about a bus whose speed couldn't drop a little fifty because the speed dropped and the speed wasn't right. Then it's speed and he said speed like eight times and he went it was called the bust that couldn't slow down. Casey, for the record, you're you're tracking a really interesting pattern right now. Your scores are three to one two. So now you've got nowhere to go. But ups on, there

we go, all right, Casey? In ten seconds, name three movies starring Sean Penn, Tree of Lice, Uh, The Indian Runner. Why is it always the third that kills me? Um, Jesus Christ leaving Las Vegas jumped into my head. That's that's Nicolas Cage Curly. Really, I don't know, Good God Man, Walking would have been the Oscar Baby one that might have. I think that's what fear and I think that's what fear and loathing leaving. That's that's Vigo Mortenson directed by

Sean Penn, so that doesn't even count. I'm one for three on that one. All right. We also would have accepted any movie starring Sean Pinn. The Timer is so nerve wracking, right, It's horrible. It's the worst thing in the world. Yeah, all right, but it's fun. Okay, No, Casey, both of you are you keeping scorn? All? Oh? Yeah, okay, Casey. In ten seconds, name three movies starring Susan Surrandon. I'm gonna with this one, um, because I'm trying to remember

the death Row movie. Um when I just mentioned dead Man Walking. Ironically, dead Walking, start Timer. That's when the thoughts begin to flow. Dead Man Walking starts Sean Penn and Susan Surrandon. That one, alright, zero wow, Sorry Susan on that one. She's what's the one in the car they go over the cliff them a speedman. Louise was called the car they couldn't fly. Okay, Casey, you've got to get this one. I'm gonna be so mad at you. In ten seconds. Name three black and white movies? Uh,

what's the one on the Island? Um, Citizen Kane, the Grapes of Breath? All right, what's what's the fucking lighthouse movie? The Lighthouse? Jesus Christ? This is this is my nightmare. I am living my nightmare right now. We're capturing an audio form. This is fun for all of us. This is this is good. Oh boy, Uh Grapes of Breath.

That was a nice call out. Well, I was like john Ford and then for some reason, that stupid Lighthouse movie popped in my head and for some reason I couldn't just call it the Lighthouse, And yeah, oh man, this is way more fun than I thought it was gonna be. I really, I'm not looking forward to doing this myself. These are not hard questions. That's the thing, Like, that's the whole point thing in the world. It's fun to see, uh the movie guy, not know anything. It

tends to make you choke. It's just something inherent about like the pressure of the time. I've always you know, I've always thought that like when you're watching Jeopardy at home and you just like can run the board and then it feels like if you're actually in that situation, you would not be able to name anything at all. No, Kim Jennings, you know said that. I mean, in this no surprise. That's the biggest part of the game is

just being good at the game. Not knowing. He said, everyone up there super smart or he like knows a lot of stuff. He said, you gotta be good with your thumb, and you've got to be able to like fucking chill out. That's right, which I imagine is easier once he won a few of them in a row, you know, maybe al right, Casey, in ten seconds, name three movies set in the Old West, The Quicken, The Dead, Um, Good Lord, my Darling, Clementine, stage Coach. Hey, look at that.

I finally got past the third one. It's for some reason I get I psyched myself out as soon as I get to I go. I tried to go for something fancy and it does not go well. Stage Coach. That's the one with the stage coach. It is indeed the one with the stage coach. They're just all up in there the whole movie, right pretty much. Yeah, yeah, I know, I mean, that's that's that's the bulk of the movie. Is that stage coach. Al right, Casey, two more name in ten seconds as a reminder, name three.

This is that you're either going to choke or you're just gonna spit out. Three in a row. Three movies with sex scenes. Wild Things, Um, good lord, the color of the night? Um based against give it jump chock, come on, well give you got it right on the buzzer. Good job. Did I say the color of the night or the color fine color of night? Why did that pop in my head? Because you're a horned all I know why Wild Things did? Because yeah, okay, it's quite formative.

I could have shut show Girls. I could have said a million things. I don't know. Color of night was pretty steamy. I remember seeing remember that one being in the old the old Cardinal Knowledge, the mech Nichols. There's a million things. All right, Casey, last one nod? Can Should we get a point total going in the final round? Yeah? Seven, eight, nine, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, seventeen out of seven. So Casey, that means I'm actually going to use the original query, because all right, I

think you will get three out of three. If you don't, then you need to go to the doctor. God help you. I might I might need to. All right, Casey, in ten seconds, name three movies directed by stay Lee Kubrick, The Killing Killers, kiss Um, The Shining. Okay, I was trying to name his first movie, if You're a Desire, and then it was like I couldn't come up with it. I just said, okay, screw at the Shining Alright, So, uh, twenty out of thirty is that right? No, that is correct. Yes,

that's not that's a solid sixty. I would say that's respectable given this is the first time this game has been trotted out in the movie Crush Universe. Yes, and you were the guinea pig. I think you did just just I think I have to. I feel like meditate before the next one. That's the thing. I have to clear my mind of hard any any distraction, and then I can let these answers emerge. Well, I think what

happens is when you're in a timer situation. Uh, everything rushes to the front of your brain at once, like I think, exactly, I think you could probably it's a traffic jam. Yeah, you could do an m R I probably and literally see like a bottleneck of information right before it gets to your mouth. Exactly. Yes, Casey, do you have like another six or seven minutes to stick or yeah, I'd love to. All right, well, we're gonna finish up with stream this where we just talk about

what we've been watching lately. I'll go first because it's very quick. I'm still watching Dark. We are close to the end of season two. Uh the mind bindy German time travel. Uh, jeesus. Just it's a lot of things. It's very lynch in, um, very very good show. I don't know if you've seen it yet, Casey. It's a

it's a lot to wrap your head around. Um. They there's a website that's very handy and trying to keep track of everyone because there are iterations of the characters through different time periods, and it's a lot, but it's it's really, really, really good. And although I have not started watching yet, I do want to shout out The Boys season two, which I cannot wait to get into. The great I think it's Amazon Prime right now, that's correct, And I think Dennis Quaid's son is in that. Friend

of the network. Okay, well, it's a great, great show and I can't wait to get back into that. So that's what I have been watching and what I'm going to dive into next. Who's up I'll go, I've I've I've mentioned it on the show before. I was having really wanted to see it, but I put it off because I thought it was gonna be too heavy, and I've been trying to avoid super heavy stuff. But I may destroy you. Uh, maybe the best television series I've

seen in a decade. Um it is. Uh. It's it's heartbreaking, it's funny, it's psychedelic, it's got like really cool stylistic choices, and it's you know, the story of a young woman who has her drink spiked at a bar in London and loses time and wakes up and and knows something's wrong, but doesn't know what's happened, And because memories start to emerge and she starts piecing it altogether and it's almost becomes like this detective type story where she's sort of

on the hunt trying to figure out what happened to her. But it's so much more than that. It's about uh, social media taking over people's lives, and it's about consent, and it's about all of these incredibly you know, um important topics that are very you know of the of the of the moment um and the creator whose name is escaping me right now. She did another show called Chewing Gum on h on BBC that was supposed to be fantastic, but this is just an absolute masterpiece. I

couldn't speak highly enough of. Her name is Michelle A. Cole, and I would highly recommend even before checking it out, like read up on her a little bit because she has a fascinating background where she grew up in a

kind of a poor, UH immigrant community. I believe her family is from somewhere in Africa, Um I can remember the exact UH part um, but she grew up in the immigrant community, like in kind of housing developments in London, and UH ended up in a dance per program that was like part of a Pentecostal church, and she became heavily Pentecostal UH and then realized that she only really did that because she appreciated that they gave her this

inroad into creative expression. She kind of abandoned the religious side of things and started doing UH drama and theater classes and she met like a benefactor who helped pay her way through like a really great drama program. And then she wrote a one woman show that ended up becoming Chewing Gum Um and the story of I May Destroy You actually happened to her. And it's just the most confessional, but not in a cloying kind of way. It's just I can't speak more highly enough of it.

It's just can't wait, really fantastic. By the way, her parents are from Ghana. Yes, um, all right, Casey, what do you what have you been watching? It can be movies, it doesn't have to be TV. Okay, perfect, because I was gonna say, there's not that many recent series that I've you know of? Note um for me, I would say, there's this recent documentary called Jasper Mall. Have you guys

heard of this? It's two guys went to um film in this kind of like dying mall in a Asper, Alabama for about a year, and um, it's it's very much in the spirit of like an early Errol Morris film where it starts off being about one thing and kind of becomes about something else. Just the more time that he spends in this place, you meet these characters. Uh, the guy who's like the there's this one guy who's like the manager, the janitor, the you know, business liaison.

He basically does everything at this mall. His his life is a small He's the ex proprietor of like a kind of bootleg zoo that was happening in Alabama where there's just like tigers and all kinds of unsafe stuff that's just like behind like uh you know, very rudimentary wire fences and so on. Um, he busted out of that zoo and now he manages a small and um yeah, it's it's like a really interesting commentary on just the

nostalgia that my generation particular has for them all. And um yeah, the way that retail is kind of um uh sun setting perhaps. I mean it's it's all pre Corona, but it feels like very much like the same tendencies are are being uh you know, strengthened by by all of that. Um it's the score is really really good. Um, it's got great cinematography. Um it's just one of those like Lightning in the Bottle movies where they went to this wall. They didn't know that guy was going to

be there. They didn't know they're gonna find all these other interesting characters and um yeah, and it it unfolds like a discovery because it literally like unfolded in front of them for that whole year they're that they're making the movie, and um yeah, it's just a really really cool,

like small movie. Um. Probably the best thing I can say about it is like after I finished watching it, like I wanted to go out and like start shooting something immediately because it just had that feeling of like, you know, there's the who would who would think such an interesting film could come from such a kind of mundane environment, But you realize, like life is interesting everywhere, and um yeah, ultimately, I mean it gets into without without overtly saying it. I mean it really is just

like sort of what does the meaning life of? That is kind of the ultimate takeaway from the film. It's it's very kind of philosophical once you get all the way into it. You know, Casey, you might remember I sent you a text asking if you were around, and then I never responded to you write your parents, Uh, And it was because a friend of mine was shooting a music video at the North decabinotch which is are kind of dying mall total, which we've talked about on

the show A good bit, Chuck. You have fond memories of that growing up, is that being kind of the flagship you know, badass mall right, And I mean it was pretty good. I worked there for a short time even, so yeah, and then now it's just real sad and weird and like half open and and during Corona now it's apparently just like a ghost town. And so they were they were able to go film there almost completely un um sure, you know, interrupted um really lack security.

They were able to go all around and get crazy shots. And my friend was wearing a green screen suit and they they shot all this crazy stuff there. But I was gonna see if you had some kind of lens adapted they but they ended up figuring it out. Um.

That's I'm fascinated with dead malls as well. There's actually a website, uh in an Instagram account called dead malls that just photographs of like abandoned you know, malls because they're too big to do anything else with unless you repurpose them into some kind of like community center or do something really creative with them. That's the whole problem with malls is like no one can afford them, but

yet they just sit there derelict. You know, it's very strange. Well, That's one of the really interesting things about Jasper Mall is that you do realize that it is kind of a community center because there's all these kind of like retired people that just hang out there every day and like play card games and visit with each other, and you realize, like this is like this is fulfilling the function of like a kind of a public space, even though it is this commercial mall that's like decaying it

has it's sort of been repurposed into like a place for people to like walk, you know, go on their morning walks and stuff. And um, yeah, it's just it's just very very um, something very touching out it. And I will say I have filmed at North Dacadam Mall as well. Um Paul and I made a short there a few years back, and we were not hassled at all. You know, we we got all the shots we needed without security ever picking up on it or even particularly caring.

I think that's great. It sounds cool, man. I want to check that out because that is one of my favorite things when a documentary or a piece of art like that starts to something and become something else. Yeah, you can. You can find it on YouTube. I think

it's like four bucks to rent. It didn't really have a theatrical run because it came out just as the pandemic was starting, so um, even though it was kind of made for theatrical in mind, it's it's had this life online and um, I think I think word of mouth has kind of spread about it. Anyway, It's it's really really cool. I hope people will check it out. Sweet the s Town of Abandoned All Documentaries. Yes, there you go. Alright, dudes, Well thanks for coming on, Casey. Yeah,
