Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Noel in the hissy in his hissym not in my hissy. Yeah, it's drive. I mean, I've been there. It's a nice hissy, but I got my own. This is the new way. Get out of my hissy, get out of my head. Are you fully accustomed to your new home, Noel. Yeah, there's a couple of little bits and Bob's that I need to deal with, you know that, Just like a couple of boxes that I just haven't messed with, or
I've seen a shove in the attic. It's just something I just need to deal with. But also my studio. I want to get some acoustic panels, but I haven't gotten to that yet, and I've got a few pieces of are I don't want to hang in here? But yeah, mainly love it. Yes, it feels very cozy. Are there any ghosts? Um No, But I will say this, there's like when I first moved in, there was this like dead animal smell and it went away and I was like, what is this. It's like that's something into the house
that died. And then it like really briefly, came back and then went away really quickly. So you do have a ghost. If there were a proper rotting animal, it wouldn't just go away quickly. It would linger until the thing was just disappeared. You know. Yeah, that's concerning. There is a cross space. Yes, you might have a dead human under their knoll. I think it's possible, or at the very least some sort of ghoul. You should call up a um ghost hunter, an animal removal person, and
a mortuary attendant. So I should assemble a crack team of of of a ragtag band of yes you know, yeah, Okay, I got it, and they should They should all be brothers, they should be triplets. I support this, John, I think this is a great idea. And then we'll make a TV show about it. Let's do it. Count me in all right. Now, we're gonna start it off this week with a movie Crushers bit, because you know, those Crushers got some good stuff going every now and then, like
meaning every day. And this one comes and asked for his permission. He said yes, so you can't sue me for the no money that the show makes. But Jonathan and I'm gonna do my best here, But Nol. This is one of those names that starts out with one, two, three, four consonants in a row? What which ones? What are they? Which one? I can't even picture this scenario. S z c z. That's just a sound. I'm sure Jonathan's having fun with this, but I'm just gonna go with Jonathan.
P uh Zapanski, I'm just canceling out the s s in the season, going with the zs only. I bet that's right. I think I think it is. There's no way it's scissors Zepansky. No, no, I was wrong. I was dead wrong. It's a great name, though, Jonathan, I love that. Zapansky, Bryant, Brown, boring, Nol. That's what we are. Boring, we're at. We shouldn't even exist. Your name has only got nearly interesting enough. Too dumb syllables. What's your name?
You could? You could fart that sound that name out, NOL. Jeez, Chuck, you can't fart sharing my legacy here, You can't fart, Jonathan P. Sabanski, Well, Charles W. Chuck Bryant's pretty cool. It's a lot of syllables there, Yeah, but I just that's what we're counting. I guess he did up. I'm just chuck. Okay, fair enough, you are just chucked, and you can fart that out easily, you can. That's what my farts all sound like, is just the chuck chuck, chuck. Alright, nol.
So this is what Jonathan said, and this is a good one. This jumps off. You're prett woman review. He said, after listening to many Crush number one thirty five, it reminded me how long it took me to quote, forgive end quote Jason Alexander for that role. And I couldn't separate him from that character in that movie. You know that happens a lot. He said. Are there any actors that you hold their roles against them? And I think we've all been down this road before a hole, And
I'm gonna go ahead and name one. I have to look up his name now because I can't remember. It is Tony Goldwin. And this is a movie I didn't even like. It's not even one of my favorite movies, but the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze Tony Goldman was the worst. And every time I saw that guy in any movie for a long time, I was just like, oh, that motherfucker. What else was he in? He's been in a bunch of stuff. I mean he was He's kind of played the bad guy in a
couple of things. But you know character actor. He was in a movie called Scandal. You know, I know him. He's he has kind of the sunken, ghoulish face, which I think makes him pretty well suited for for the for the battie, Yeah, kiss the girls. You know. That's as much as I'll say about that divirgent Pelican brief. He's been a lot of stuff, but he's one of those guys that every time he turned up for a while after that, I just wanted to punch him because of what he did. And ghost. Oh, he's in the
new Lovecraft Country and he plays a ghoulish cult leader. Interview. Yeah, I think you should give it a shot. It's interesting and Okay, this isn't a spoiler. I'm I'm just gonna three to one non spoiler spoiler. It's the sort of a secret anthology series like every appod Like you don't know that at first, but then you realize, like it's a little bit of like a it's Scooby Doo kind of Monster of the week and it's cool. I need to get back into it. It threw me for a
loop because I didn't think it was at first. And the second episode is just such a climax. It feels like a season finale. And I was just like, wait what they threw so much at the wall and like, I don't understand where this is going. And then I realized, oh, that was the culmination of this a story, and then there's like a B story and at Centers. Yeah, that's on the list. All right. Now we're gonna start it off with we're going top down, but I'm gonna get
through as many as he's as I can. Uh. Monica Elizabeth says, not a movie. And I didn't see much of this show, as you know. But noel I think we can all agree that Jack Gleeson as Jeoffrey Barratian will never be able to live that roll down. Well, he knows that and he left. He quit acting basically because of it. He really Oh my god, ye should I feel bad for him? I mean, look, it's the role of a lifetime. Maybe he wasn't that into acting in the first place. You mean, you could have fooled me.
He's fucking incredible, but yeah, he's such a little ship. Yeah that's tough. Uh. Old pal Andrea do pui. Uh. Crease says Denzel in Training Day. That was tough because we love Denzel and then to see him it's such a monster in movie. You know, that was hard. I was mad at him. He's great in that though, I said, I'm sure, you know, he's so used to playing like the righteous kind of good guy. I'm sure that was a lot of fun for her. Oh yeah, I bet
he had a good time on that. Grant Woody, one of her old friends, says, I disliked Joaquin Phoenix for interrrationally long time after Gladiator. Yeah he was bad, bad man, but good at it. So good? Yeah, very good at it. Um Okay, Randy Rodriguez says, my wife and Kevin Bacon, she said she was such Uh. She said he was such a creep in that movie Whitewater Summer. Uh was it Whitewater Summer. I think the River wild maybe what he's thinking. Although I haven't seen Whitewater Summer. I thought
that was sort of a fun movie. River Wilde is when he played the creep. Whitewater Summer sounds like a lot of fun. Does want to have a movie about a water park and all the long lasting friendships you made over that one faithful summer. I haven't seen that Action Park documentary yet, but that's on the list too. I can't wait to see that. If you heard called class actions Traction Park was another fun name for that
park back then. Yeah, because it was all just mega unsafe like water slides and rides and people just got totally really jacked up there. There was a loop, a water slide that went in a full loop. Knoll. Oh, that seems like a great idea. There's no way that can go wrong. Uh. Sarah Stapleton says I cannot separate Lorraine Toussaint from the character she played in Orange is the New Black. Every time I see her in something else, I just want to scream at all the other characters
to not trust her. Yeah. I watched Oranges the New Black for the first couple of seasons and then we stopped. But I liked it. I think it just kind of overstate it's welcome in my opinion, kind of like Weeds. I never saw Weeds. Yeah, that was like an eighteen seasons right, didn't that show go over it? Was a lot and just you know, and it was never like a great show to begin with. It was just fun.
And then the character uh whatever, Nancy whatever her name is um played by the lovely Sarah Jessica No, uh, Jennifer Jason Lee. No, who plays her? You mean the lead? Yeah? What's her name? It was Mary Louise Parker. Louise Parker, one of those three names gals. Yes, yes, she becomes just like the just at first, she's just quirky and kind of like, oh, I'm just doing this thing to like take care of my family, and then she just becomes progressively more and more irresponsible and brings her kids
into the situation. It's it's like that, but like not even the steaks are low because it's just sort of a comedy. So it's just you just kind of can't stand here because she's just sort of really selfish and makes really stupid decisions. Looks like Weeds ran for eight seasons. Uh, the great Kevin Nealon, isn't that. Oh Yeah, Yeah, he's great. He's funny. He's the best thing about it. He plays there like bungling lawyer kind of guy. Yeah, he's good.
He's like that show um Phyllis Martin Talent says, I've heard more than one person say Mary Tyler Moore is not a nice person because of her role in Ordinary People. He never mind that she was sweet Laurie Petrie or Mary Richards for so many years. Yeah, that's true. Ordinary people, ordinary people. It's good, it's tough. It's a divorce movie, sort of through the lens of the child. Got it very hard. Mike Sam's, one of her old friends, says, it took me a long time to disassociate Rachel McAdams
from Regina George. Uh. And I still have issues with David Strathern for his role in Dolores Claiborne. Yeah, I hear that. Uh. Megan Broyle says, I used to loathe you and McGregor, but I have no idea why. Okay, that's a different kind of answer. Did you see uh of Pray or whatever it was called, the Harley Quinn movie Not Interested? Well, you and McGregor is in and he plays like a battye and it's fun because he doesn't get to do that very often. And uh, yeah,
I enjoyed it all right. Amy Roberts says, James Spader will always be Steph and pretty and pink, and as an office fan, it was really hard for me to like him. Yeah, pretty and pink. He was not a good guy in that. Uh let me see here. John Stockton says Steve Carrell because of Michael Scott, Jake gillen Hall, because of how he was portrayed an entourage, Jake Jillen Hall. Did he play himself? Was he like one of those like over the top versions of himself? I don't. I
don't recall him being an entourage. I don't know, man, I don't think so someone's gonna have to clear that up for me. Stockton, Come on, Stockton, let me know what's up. Uh, let me see here. Batia Randy says Brad Pitt and thumb On Louise Yeah, I was on a nice thing he did. Nicole Curly says, I'm still kind of afraid of Anthony Hopkins. I don't know if I'll ever be able to separate him from Hannibal Lector. That is true. Christine Taylor is Marsha Brady. That's from
Keith Edward. She looks so much like Marsha Brady. It was just hard to not think she was Marsha Brady, great casting, perfect casting. Were you a Brady Bunch guy? Did it? Was that like important to you growing up? Not that you were, that would have been before your time, but reruns I'm sure right, No, old Brady Bunch was very important to me. Yes, yeah, yeah, I watched that
movie religiously in reruns. It was part of this like group of shows that was before my time but played forever on like WTBS and stuff like I was watching Green Acres and Petticoat Junction and like all these old black and white Gilligan's Island Dude Doobe gillis Man, Mr. I watched all that ship on Nick at Night Like that was huge for me. Yeah, pre Nick at Night. It was just on the superstation. Uh Lynn Carlson one of our oldest friends, he says Christian Bale. Because of
American Psycho. He played the role of sleazy Wall Street upper class douche too. Well, it's very good. Dermott Kennif says Jude Law because of quite a few asshole roles, but mostly because of Wild. I don't think I saw that, No, I'd neither. Is that the Oscar Wild movie? Maybe he did not play is spelled with an E on the end. It is indeed, nol, Then that's what it's gotta be.
Ben Master says Glenn Close from World. According to Garb, her character, her character was so off putting it took me a long time to come to appreciate her other performances. I feel bad for these people. Sometimes they're so good in something and being bad that people dislike them in real life. You know, they're acting. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, you know, it's it's like, here's a good example, like that kid from the Harry Potter movies, that shitty little
blonde kid. Don't he plays, you know, Malfoy or whatever. Have no idea like yeah, exactly, Well I thought you were a huge Harry Potter. Stand I'm gonna read those one day, nol. You know everyone's saying Ruby's gonna get to an age where I can't avoid it. So I'm just waiting on that day with abated breath. Even just blasted right past that period. She has zero interests, all anime, all the time. That's her thing. Well, maybe that'll happen
for me. Jamie Irman says, Jason Patrick and your friends and neighbors, Oh yeah, dude is creepy and always tends to have the creepy roles. Yeah, that was He was such a fucking asshole in that movie champ Razado. One of orl Pau says, j K. Simmons is a great actor, but it took a lot of roles before I was able to not see him as Schillinger. What is that from Schillinger? Chilling? That's the joke. Yeah, he he always everyone always pronounces it Schillinger and he always corrects them
chilling her. But yeah, he is. He's this neo Nazi uh like leader who's been locked up and has control over all these uh insane you know, racist white supremacists in the prison, and he goes to war with this one character and like has his does horrible things to his family outside of the prison, and like, you know, it's it's just yeah, he is a That is one of the most um what's the word just despicable characters in all of television, I would say, which is interesting
because j K. Simmons is generally I think plays a pretty good dude. Although he didn't in Whip Flash either. He was pretty tough in that one. Did you like that movie? I fucking loved Whip Flash. Someone told me the other day that they hated it, and I was really confused. It was it was kind of a film snob person, so they may have had their issues, but I haven't seen it. Isn't that the guy that did um La La Land was not the same. Yeah, I think so Chazelle was. Yeah. I think it was like
his first big oscar bait. It was Damien Giselle. I really thought Whiplash was great, like I got it, really loved it. Oh you did not see Whip Player. I I haven't seene Whiplash now, Oh you should. It's right up pure alley as a music A Yeah, I've seen some clips like there's just leewards like his hands were bleeding or whatever because he's like playing the drums so hard or whatever. Drummond so hard, so hard, so hard.
All Right, We're gonna finish with Earl pal. Austin Debski says Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park, he will always be Dennis Nedder to me. It's true. He's he's he's newman. But it's funny you say that shucks to him. I saw Jurassic Park before I ever saw Seinfeld. So he was neddury to me as well, even once I knew him as Newman. But now over time I think of him as Newman. Yeah, and not Neger. No, they're close
Newman Nidri, It's true. All right, Now we're gonna finish up, well, why don't you announce what we're gonna finish up with? Oh boy, we're gonna finish up with a little edition of Trucks. Hey. Nice work. Okay, Yes, I worked really hard on this list, Chuck. I would. I didn't want it to be too I didn't want to like totally humiliate you. Um. I also, you know, didn't want to like insult your intelligence. So it was like a kind of a delicate balance. And that's why I sent it
to Casey. Um vetted it, vetted for me a little bit. And uh, I stand by this list. Um, this is Chuck's holes weirdo foreign art house a dish. Oh Jesus, all right, No, do you have the technology to keep score? Meaning a pencil and a piece of paper? If by technology you mean yes, I will absolutely uh keep score. Do you need uh a few hours to figure out I need? I need some grid paper and a compass and uh t square pretty yeah, yeah, actually you know what I got? I need my notepad open and then
I need something analog to write with. I wish everyone could see this and all was just so flustered, you guys. Anytime score keeping is happening just sends him into it dizzy. I'm I'm more flustered than I don't have a pencil right at arm's reach. Give me one second, sure, and you know what, No, while you're off doing that, I
want to give my book a plug. The Stuff you Should Know Book, Stuff you Should Know, colon and incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things you guys, Between you and me, the book isn't selling as well as they would like, and uh we really needed to sell better. So if you have it in your heart after all this great free content over the years, to jump in in pre order, it would mean a lot. Really, trust me, it would mean a big deal because we need to sell books
and we are not selling books. And I know it's a tough time. But if you can manage to do so, pre order the book. Support black owned bookstores by going to you bit dot lee slash s y s k b l M. The very least support indie bookstores by going to indie bound dot org and pre ordering the stuff. You should know book nol was back and I've pre ordered mine. Did you really? Yeah, of course I appreciate that I should actually buy one two that would help,
every every little bit help. So yeah, look at this. Look at this cool little I got a little little diary with it's even got it's from Moogie. You ever been to Moogie, New York. It's like it's sort of like Japanese Ikea. They still stationary and cool, like stuff for the home and you know, duvet covers and ship. But it's a really fun little store. So I have my Moogie notepad and a pen that I've confirmed works. And actually it's appropriate that I'm using this Moogie notepad
because a lot of Asian cinema represents it. In my last here and chuck, but not so much that it's egregious. I tried to split it up. Um are you ready, sir? This episode brought to you by Mouji, by Mougie. Yeah, dude, to send us like once some of those cute little toothbrush holders or when they have It's it's a fun store.
I always enjoyed going in there. Yeah, all right, I'm ready nol okayes in the category of it's a Chuck's holes, weirdo foreign art house, a dish, and I try to keep it pretty weirdo and not just like asembled I'm gonna get killed now. I I think there's something here that No. Look, let's just okay. So we'll start off with a little movie called The Holy Mountain. I have not seen Holy Mountain. You're familiar with Holy Mountain. Yeah,
I haven't seen it. It's yeah, it's great, it's uh, it's it's one of the weirdest what's that director's name, He did El Topo and and all that stuff. Hang on me. Some people can look him up him do Yeah, Holy Mountains on the list. I've heard. It's quite a film. Yeah, it's from the seventies and you sent me three. It's categorized as a fantasy drama, but it's really just like a like a cinematic performance art piece. It's and then
beautifully shot. The director is um Alejandro Jodorowski, who famously had a version of Doune that he did with the artist Mobius that was like gonna be made, but then it didn't. Happen. And there's actually a documentary called Jodorowski's Dune that's very good. Okay, I uh, my friend, by the way, I have that DVD because my very good friend Ryan McNeil sent me the Holy Mountain DVD. So you have this. You just haven't watched it. I just
haven't watched it yet. Okay, Well I don't. You almost should get have a point for owning it, but never right now, okay. Uh. The next one is a very popular Japanese surrealist film called How Su or a k A House. Yes, I did see that, actually, uh huh, yeah, it's what were your impressions of How Sue? Well, it's been a long time, but I do remember seeing that movie back in the day. It's written it's almost like a child wrote it or something, and if I'm not mistaken,
it was the director of the creators. Children sort of pieced together like this narrative of a dream they had and that was the kind of fodder for like the script or it may have even been more direct than that, where they actually wrote some of it. But it's like you think it's going to be a horror movie, and it kind of is, but it's really just a weirdest surrealist kind of fantasy comedy ROMP. Very very interesting movie. Okay, so you've seen how so we've gotta we gotta check
for house in the in the left column. How do you spell that? H A U s U. Yeah, I'm I'm looking now, just to uh the images iconic. It's like a cat like kind of like a crazy orange cat. I saw that when I in college, when I worked at that video store, when we got watching more weird stuff like that. Some of these might be from those days. Um, Okay, this next one, it's a little bit of a this
is a low blow, but um. It's even this director who's very prolific and you've seen some of his films, I know, but this one is someone that people don't often talk about. But it's called The Happiness of the Kata kuris never heard of it. It is from the director of Audition, which I know you've seen and are a fan of. But it's like a musical that is somewhere between Bollywood and like the sound of music, but it's all based around these murderers that keep happening in
this like mountain inn that this family opens. Um and there's like supposed to be a highway that's going to be built. But it has claymation at times. Uh, it has hardcore violence and it also has songs and uh it's a beautiful, surreal little little movie. All right, okay, all right. Um. Next we have the movie Fantastic Planet. No, no, you've clearly designed this list to skunk me and and I will remember just say just keep moving. I don't I don't know that movie. Never heard of it. It's this,
it's the sixties animated movie. It's like kind of like alien creatures. It's it's it's it's pretty popular. Um okay. Uh. Next we have eight and a half. Yes, I did see that, the Fellini Filtain. I think that that qualifies as a weirdo art house or an art house. All right, um. Next we have a movie called Tetsuo the Iron Man. Yes, I did see that same college years. Uh. That movie
was fucked up. Yeah. It's like all black and white, like crazy body horror metamorphosis into this like weird monster with this dude who was like a businessman and he becomes this like aberration with tubes coming out of his body. But it's it's it doesn't have a plot exactly. It's it's almost like a weird nine inch Nails video or something. Yeah, the Brothers Quay come to mind very much. So okay,
that's a good segue there. Next is a movie, one of the only there's a few, but one of the few full feature link movies from a an animator and artist, very in line with the Brothers Quay. Uh named um oh gosh, why am I forgetting his names? I did? I did the set up so well Brown, Oh stop, it's it's uh he's uh, he's he's he's Scandinaviy and he he did him. His name is Jan svenk Meyer is his name. And the movie is called Alice and it's like Alice in Wonderland, but with like stop motion
kind of weirdness. Um no, definitely, now it's good. I'd recommend. There's a lot of like taxidermy little critters in it that he animates. It's it's very surreal. Okay, how about Holy Motors. Have not seen that one yet, that's on the list. That was the Justin McElroy that was on his list to cover, but we ended up doing the other movie instead. But Motor is cool. I've only seen it once. Sinces been a while. I'd like to see it again, but i'd really be I think you would
dig it. It would really be interested to hear your take on that. Um okay, moving on. We have the Saddest Music in the world. Never heard of it. It's a Canadian movie with Isabella Roussellini in it, and um, it's saddest, can't It's not super old. It came out maybe in like the early two thousands, and it's about this competition, um to create the saddest music in the world. And there's a part where, like her characters leg is made out of a giant glass like beer. It's full
of beer. Like she's got like this false leg that's full of beer. It's very very strange. Who else is in? His name is Guy Madden? And I believe he did The Cook, the Thief, the Wife? Oh sure, maybe that movie did he do? That? Was that was Peter No? No, that was Peter Greenaway. You're absolutely right, but I I kind of connect them for some reason. He did a movie called The Forbidden Room. What else did he do that was really well known? Sounds familiar? He sure does.
And it's been a minute since I've seen this. I'm trying to see what else he did. Okay, he's got a lot of like like shorts and stuff. Um anyway, okay, moving on. I'm sorry, Chuck, I didn't mean just I didn't mean to Okay, this is not my genre, but uh yeah, let's let's march on. Okay, al right, here we go. How about the Science of Sleep? Oh sure, yeah, yeah, that's the one of the lesser one of the lesser
known I think, Uh, what's Michelle Gondry films? Yes, but a movie people have heard of, so I do appreciate that, Yeah, for sure. And it's you know, and it had a good theatrical run. Most of these have. Um, okay, here we go. How about Suspiria? Yes, yeah, the original, the original. Yeah, I covered that on this very show. Oh whose movie was that? Joe Garden came back on for a second appearance,
or maybe that was his first appearance. Uh to do Uh you know, Joe comes on in October to do scary movies because he is a It was our Gento's birthday a couple of days ago. Actually, Um, that's a that's a really special movie. It's interesting because it's like a lot of his movies are very cheesy, and this one it succeeds despite sort of the canned the campiness of the acting. It's just a really beautifully shot designed movie. Are on our score and our number? Five? And how
many have we? Where are we on the let's we've done one? Three? Sorry I went out of order a little bit, one to three, four, five, six, seven, eight ships. I should have gone in order I needed. How do you across these? So you're clearly not You don't have a no column. You just have a yes column. Right, you have a scenic column and not a not. Yeah. O, yeah, you're right. Fuck. I did screw it up, didn't I? This is great. You put me on the spot with the scoring stuff. Chuck, this isn't my well we we
we we we got this, okay, Um, we're getting close. Uh. Next, we have a very uh well known and respected animated Japanese anime film, uh called Akira. I never saw a Kira, Chuck, you gotta see a Kira. I haven't seen any anime
really really, Yeah, there's something you know. There's the thing about anime like it's it can be so niche and so like some of it's really a little twee and kind of like you know, over the over the top and sort of silly, and you know there's huge fandoms surrounding it, but there's a there's a handful that are just classics, like all the Miyazaki pictures, which are all
on HBO Max. Now, by the way, would really recommend watching some of those with Ruby, even as one called p you know, sort of a retelling of the Little Mermaid, and it's just that one really great. But Akira is like when people talk about cyberpunk, you know, like that is a Kira. It along with I would say Ridley Scott and Blade Runner kind of established the whole vibe of like that cyberpunk neo Tokyo kind of situation. You know. Um,
really important movie for for that kind of style. Um, okay, cool, we're getting close. Um we've got okay, how about un Chien and Deliu? Uh No, I never saw that. I haven't either, But have you seen at least the slicing up eyeballs ye worth their snuff? At least has seen that clip. We're we're putting that in a yes because that's all you need. Oh no, no, no, don't put any yes. I haven't seen it. Well, I haven't seen it either, but I still feel like I've seen enough
of it to say that I've seen it. But um, you're right, okay, Uh, let's see. Now. We have a movie called Cash, a French film that was was one of Connall's big faves. I think he came on the show to talk about it one time. Cache is super cool. Okay, what's that director's name? Oh, to do like the White Ribbon and stuff and Michael, uh what's his name is Michael something? Let's see it is Michael haneke hannecky hannek. Yeah, he's German, that's right. Um. And yeah, the White Ribbon
is also great. I need to get more into his catalog because that's a really cool movie. Cache. It's sort of like Hitchcock e in where there's like a kind of paranoid you know, perspective where you don't quite know who the killer is and you keep kind of they keep second guessing you, and um, it's about surveillance and sort of being like watched, and there's that. It's it's very very well done. I really love Cash. Okay, great good? Um yeah, okay, okay, where are we at? Uh? So?
Let's do Okay, how about this a movie, a Greek movie that was the first movie by this filmmaker who's now become much more well known, called dog Tooth. Uh did not see dog Tooth? Did you see his others? Though? Like you're speaking of Lanthamos Lanthemos, your goes Lanthemos one of the best names in cinema. Yeah, the favorite, go back to dog Tooth. Yet, Yeah, dog Tooth is good.
It's a it's it's an interesting setup. It's like this family that lives off the grid and and they don't know about normal things, and they have the different words for things like television and toothbrushes, and it's that's weird, isolated kind of thing. But it's it's what they call um oh gosh, I can't remember exactly, but dog like when you get your dog teeth, the dog tooth, it's like becoming an adult or something like that. It's it's yeah, exactly,
that's exactly right. And there's a part where I think the character like pulls out her teeth because she doesn't want to grow up. Yeah, it's it's it's pretty intense. Alright, we're almost we're almost done, and then I'll do the tally. We can edit it out. I'll make it faster than the magic of editing. Um. Okay, how about a movie called Salo Nope, I never heard of it. Salo is is Uh. It's like based on the Marquet dissad stuff and it's like supposed to be what it's like. There's
a Criterion release of it. It's supposed to be one of the most disturbing movies ever where there's like really like sadistic kind of hedonistic behavior and sex. I know, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Now. I definitely didn't see this, but I have heard about it. It's supposed to be good. Christ, Now, why would anyone see this movie? Exactly?
I haven't seen it. I just I was looking at surrealist cinema on the list and this one came up, and I definitely remember it's called Salo or the one and twenty Days of Sodom. There you have it, all right, I did a bad job, Chuck, how you're here? A googe one we've talked about on the show before, the Tarkovski film Stalker. Yes, I did see Stalker, saying college visit video. Oh gosh, Yeah, that's vision video is huge for me. R I P. All of those locations are
not close. It is sad um Okay, we're almost done here, we have just a few more um and you know, he's the thing to chuck, i'd reckon. All of these are movies that were important to me kind of as I was getting more into weird cinema and then a lot of Asian cinema. So I would I would stand by all of these except for the few that I haven't seen that I just threw in to fill off the list. But this one in particular was one that I discovered when I was going through my kind of
Korean and Japanese cinema period. And it's called Save the Green Planet. Never heard of it, okay. It's a Chinese movie about like aliens kind of coming to Earth, but also like is the guy just insane? Does he really know the aliens are coming? Or is he like absolutely lee out of his mind? And then you kind of decide whether he is or isn't. And it's a lot of environmental kind of bent to it and conservation. But it's very funny, very very interesting movie. Save the Green Planet. Okay.
Um last but not Okay, we got a couple more uh eachy The Killer It is another uh movie by the guy that made Audition. It's like a comic book kind of you know, like it's action, but it's also like super heavy on the gore and like you know, splattery kind of stuff. Very much like a Tarantino style movie, but like even more bonkers. Um, it's not for everybody, but it's it's it's one that this kind of makes the list of like a lot of interesting Japanese movies
from the early two thousands. Um. And finally we have a movie called Survive Style five plus Never al Right, I think that's it five Style five five plus. Yeah,
it's it's it's it's really good. It's sort of like almost like it's one of those movies where there's all these different weird characters that sort of come come together and cross paths in interesting ways, and it's really stylized, and it's like there's like a lion tamer character and there's like a like a wealthy kind of couple, and there's all these like different and it's it's definitely got like some surrealist qualities to it, but it's it's ultimately
it doesn't sound It's not what it sounds like. It sounds like it would be like Battle Royale or some kind of like you know, uh, murderer movie, and it's not at all. It's very much like an interesting, weird, kind of hyper edited, uh kind of story about Japan, very interesting movie. I got a lot of work to do. No, how do mean? Guys? Yeah, you did? You did seven? Seven got seven out of twenty. Look, I didn't design
this to fail. I designed to to to engender conversation. Never, You're never gonna ask me to do this segment ever again. I totally will. It's that I don't mind failing miserably null. I can. I can take it on the chin. So don't don't you feel bad? Okay, I don't. But I've I've I've never been a few that you've thrown at me that I've that I've whipped on as well. But you, you do tended to be a little more forgiving, and
I was trying to. I was trying to just you know, these are movies that are important to me, and I think you did almost all of them. I think even the ones that that that seem a little intense um because I think we have a lot of stuff in common in terms of our musical well musical but also cinematic obviously taste total agree, my friend. All right, all right,
well that is it for this week. Everyone. I love that we got some new games going with that Casey game last week and now filling up some chuck holes. I got a lot of holes to fill down thele I need to chuck. I think we all do. And thank you for listening everyone, and we'll see you next week.
