Mini Crush #157

a ridiculous history. Yeah, stalwarts. And you're you're kind enough to help me out in here and all, which is great. Why do you? Kind is not the word for this? Is? I told you this makes my day and I love getting an early start on a Wednesday. We're back to our normal stomping grounds. Yeah, not known as Friday Afternoon.

That was fun too, and it's yeah. So this is our number two for the day, number one for you this week, listeners, Number one in your hearts, number one in your hearts with a bullet All right, No, we're just gonna jump right into it, just what we do on our second episode, because we've already caught up and we're going to start out with a post that I threw in there this morning. Sorry I didn't give everyone a lot of time on this, but I I was busy last night. Uh club no Wana mentioned that before.

Directors who I feel like have never made a stinker. Maybe not all the movies or masterpieces, but none of them can be considered like missteps or like bad movies. Like even the great Steven Spielberg made Crystal Skull. Yeah, so he can't. He's not on the list. Crystal Skull sucked. Yeah, it's interesting. It's a good point. I mean, I I

definitely didn't. I think so you're judging Crystal Skull against all other Indiana Jones movies, which I guess is the only way you can't judge it, right, No, I'm judging it as a movie. It just wasn't very good, okay, and especially if you look at it as in the in the cannon of of the Indiana Jones films, it's just a dark spot. What was it about it that you didn't think was good? Just the plot wasn't good. There was bad acting, casting choices, the c G I

was like things like that had so many problems. It was really really disappointing. So as much as I love me some. Steven Spielberg, he just he can't make the list. Uh. The Collen Brothers, I give a They're on my list because their worst movie, The Lady Killers, is still I don't think a stinker. It's not great, but it's good enough, And the rest of their movies are I think literally every one of them great. I think The Lady Killers is quite funny. It makes me laugh. It's not a

great movie, for sure, Yeah, but it's funny enough. I mean, Tom Hanks alone and with that voice is you know, I'll watch that movie just to laugh at that. Exactly. Who else I've always put Sofia Coppola on the list. I think that all of her movies have been none of them have been stinkers. I think the one that um her least good movie was the Was it the Beloved? Was that the name of the one for a few years ago? I don't a lot of people are really hating on this new one where it just feels like

why bother kind of but I haven't seen him. You said you thought it was okay, I liked it. Okay. What was the name of it? Wasn't the Beloved? Oh? Uh? I don't know, let's see it's uh The Beguiled it was all right, it wasn't great, but the rest of her movies are great. I think Catherine Bigelow um even

dubbing into her eighties work. Like I haven't seen her first movie, so I'm not sure, but like she did Blue Steel in the eighties, like that was a pretty fun movie, and certainly she got better and better as a filmmaker. So I think Katherin Bigelow is probably on that list. David or Russell was on my list. Uh, Kubrick is probably on my list. He's never made a stinker. So I asked the crushers what they thought. Who were there?

A d percent clovers and Uh, we're just gonna go ahead and get going here with Tom Rhodes, he says, Chris Nolan, uh, and David Fincher, he says, I don't hate Alien three. And there was supposedly a ton of studio interference. I think we talked about venture and whether or not he was a center, and I I knocked him for Alien three. Yeah. I actually it's been so long as I've seen that, and at the time, I can't I don't think I was aware of David Fincher like as a So I wasn't judging it in that way,

but I'll have to watch it. I might might, I might treat myself to an Alien marathon. What was his uh? What was his first movie? It wasn't Alien three? Was I don't know, let's see. I mean he did a lot of music videos. He did like Madonna, like a prayer, um not like like a prayer he did, I believe Vogue. His first movie. It might have been, uh, yeah, I think so it was yeah, Alien three, Yeah, yeah, that was his first. Um seven, Great The Game, Great Bike Club,

Great Panic Room, good Zodiac, masterpiece. You know, Benjamin Button, I didn't really like that. I didn't like it either, but it's still a good movie. And it's a wise It's what she would call a big swing, right Chuck. You know, boy, obviously it was a passion project for him. I don't like it either, But again i've I've I've heard critics that that that's still you know, it's it's polarizing.

Some people really love it. I did not love it. Yeah, Social Network, great Dragon Tattoo thought a really good remake, done Girl, awesome make still haven't finished, but intrigued to me enough, and it's definitely not a stinker, all right. I agree Venture should probably be on there. Christopher Nolan have some issues with him. He's not made stinkers though. I mean, I think we have to qualify. Like again, like I think the discussion we had around Crystal Skull

has to hold true. Do you judge it based on all of his other movies as in they're not as good, or it has to to be an absolute kind of bomb. It has to really suck and just not be a good movie. I mean, I don't even go so far. Here's my criteria. It doesn't have to really suck. I think just not a good movie for that director, you know what I mean? Like the bar is high, um,

So I don't think it has to be garbage. But to me, it's just if it's not a very good movie that I don't want to see again, then that qualifies. And this is just my own dumb criteria. Caroline Gaston, one of our oldest spial, says, is it too soon to say? Ari asked her with just two films, But she also says most of his short films are on YouTube and they're all pretty great, So you know he's pent and I imagine he'll keep making pretty good movies.

I don't see are asked making a stinker anytime soon. Totally, he's fantastic. And you know, it's interesting because like obviously your first film you have like your whole life to think of, and then your second one. You know, if you do well with the first one, the studios are obviously gonna be you know, on you to put another one out. And I think he did a fine job as uh. I think both of us had a few issues with Midsummer. Um, it's damn good so quickly, Yeah,

Lenia Barnett, one of our oldest palaces. Wes Anderson is the only director that can fill that slot for me. Adore his work and love the world he creates. Uh yeah, I love them all. Uh. Sarah Irons also says Wes Anderson. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love his films, Aidan Noah Clark has a nice list going here. Todd Haynes, Sure, Basil Dearden, don't know who Basil Derdon is. Basil Derdon, No, he sounds very British. He does. Sidney uh Pedro al Mondova is close but

I'm so excited. Isn't great, is what? Aiden says? Bong John Bong June Hoe. Oh yeah, big times, Yorgos Lantamos, Yeah for sure, still early, but yes, Sebastian Lalio don't know that Bill Maker and Corey Finley is two for two so far. I don't know these people. Yeah, Oh, Basil dear Den is old. He was born in nineteen eleven. He looks like he did some noir stuff film called The Dead of Night from Sapphire The Blue Lamp Victim. These all look like cool Hitchcock e thriller noir situations

from the from the fifties and early sixties. So I'm gonna add some of these to my list. Uh. And Corey Finley says two for two did Bad Education and Thoroughbreds. I don't think I've seen either one of those. Those are both supposed to be pretty good, though, Bathtian Bad Education jacking my almotiv ar. No, no, no, this is Corey Finley Bad Education, based on the true story of the largest public school embezzlement in American history. And there's

another there's a Bad Education as well. Interesting. All right, I'll have to check these out. Deep cuts. I like deep cuts. Noll too. Let me see here. Ian Lyone says that's tough. Let me some Spielberg and Ridley Scott. But among their mega classics, they've certainly made some stinkers, some leaning towards filmmakers who have had fewer efforts, which is probably unfair. Jonathan Glazer, Uh, Sexy Beasts under the Skin and Birth, Yeah, for sure. And Edgar Wright, Shaun

of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Hot Buds, and Baby Driver. Yeah, Edgar right is totally totally good call, good call. Ian iron Don Morris, I think I fully agree with this, says Sam Mendez. Solid solid and one of my favorite little note movies. Away we Go. That was such a great movie. I haven't seen that or heard of it.

He's so versatile though, because like he can do obviously, you know, amazing Indie kind of character driven drama, like an American Beauty, But then he could turn around and do a Skyfall or like in nineteen seventeen or whatever, you know, revolutionary road. He can do the period pieces that. He is just a really versatile director, no question about it. The Way we Go, jar Head, these are all really great road to Perdition Specter as well. Yeah, American Beauty

of course. Sam Mendez he's on my list. Yes, he actually hasn't directed a hell of a lot of movie's only got twelve twelve movies to his credit. I mean that's a lot. I guess that is a lot. What am I talking about? It's a lot. He's he's been at it for a while. But yeah, he he doesn't like make one like every two years, like he'll he'll like, he'll like sit on things for a little while. Um, it's good. Yeah, king Lear, I'm not familiar with a king Lear adaptation. Did he produce it or directed? He

directed it? Really? Yeah? Co directed it with somebody named Robin low Oh. Interesting, all right, I did not know that. All Right, we're gonna go with Kathy Lowe. McCray says, Granted she's only made a handful of films, but everything Tamora Jenkins does it's fantastic. Totally agree. One of my favorite directors. Tamora Jenkins did Slums of Beverly Hills, The Savages, that great, great movie with Laura Lenny and Philip sy

Moore Hoffman as siblings. And then uh, I have not seen Private life from a couple of years ago, and that is on the list. I did not know about this movie and it sounds great with Katherine Hahn, who everyone loves, and Paul Giamati and Molly Shannon, who have such a crush on Molly Shannon is a is a delight. She is man, I want to get around the show so bad. She's just so like sunny and like and and and and can play it super goofy. But it is also you know, stunning, uh, and I appreciate that.

It is the ability to kind of, you know, fill both of those roles. I love her, always have had just the biggest crush on Molly Shannon. You know her backstory? Band? Did you ever hear what happened here when she was a kid? No? No, I have not. She was on Mark Marin and her uh, her mother and I think sister were killed in a car wreck with her father driving and I think he had been drinking. And like, it's brutal to hear her tell that story. Um, yeah,

that's tough, man go through a tragedy like that. Oh youve ay, Jennifer Mudge says Sophia Coppola. Stanley Kubrick David Fincher and Martin Scorsese if the Irishman didn't exist. I'm with you, Mudge. You you can park in my garage any day. That's so funny that Casey Pegraham, who is like such a particular boy when it comes to music movies, just loves that one. And it's such a device. So

I didn't hate it, but I was with you. It was kind of like it just felt like such a retread to me of like things like like Casino and uh and and Goodfellas. But I don't know, maybe I really did just have a bad taste in my mouth because of that video game cut scene aspect to it just bugged. Yeah, for sure. Uh, Mike Bender or Binder Uh is also parking in my garage because he says Alexander Paine batting a thousand sideways election Nebraska about Schmidt descendants,

he didn't put Citizen Ruth on there. That's great. They're they're all great. I'm with you. He's my favorite for one of my favorites, he's my top five. I think. Bill Horton says, yeah, I haven't seen all his movies, but I think they're all supposed to be pretty great. He's just a magical creature. I adore him. He's got what have you seen Hunt for the Wilder People, Chuck, I still haven't. It's been in my queue for like two years, and I don't know why I haven't seen

it yet. It's just lovely. I saw it when it came out in the theaters, and I think I saw it like twice in the theater. It's just one of these movies that's just very, very nice. It has conflict, but like nothing horrible happens to anybody, and everyone kind of learns a lesson and ends up better at the end, and but not unlike a cloying, obnoxious way. And he's got another one. His first film is called what's it called. It's called Like Boy or something like that, or the

Boy that looks like has a very similar vibe. But um, I yeah, I just adore him. And then I and again great example of an interesting, quirky, small director. Yeah, going and being able to helm these massive Marvel movies, which is, you know, he can look at that as a good or a bad thing, because it does start to kind of take them away from doing their smaller, you know, more heartfelt things. But it's also nice to see these big movies with a little heart. Boy is

what it's called from two thousand ten um. And he also obviously directed a bunch of Flight of the Concords. And he has a movie called Eagle Versus Shark that's really cute with the fight. That's a great movie. Uh, let's finish up here with a couple more t J. Danny, his p T Anderson. His lesser movies are a far cry better than a lot of director's best movies. Yeah, I mean I would argue that he has no lesser movies. T J. I love him, even his supposedly worst movie

that I covered recently with Adam what's it called, Inherent Vice? Yeah, I still thought it was very interesting. Well, I mean, people love that one. Though people do love that one. I had a hard time with it at the time. It isn't it wasn't the right movie for me at that moment, But I need to get need to give it another shot because I know people that I really respect who love it. All right, let's just quickly do a few more of these. Eve Elizabeth Lee says, ain't

never seen a shitty John Sales movie. I would agree with that. John sales classic, Joe Well says Denis Villanieu. Yeah, for sure, no stinkers yet the stinkers, and he's a good example of bouncing nicely between a small ish movie and a massive movie. You know, Robert Eggers is on the list. I know it's early. That is David Barlow. I totally agree, though. Another vote for Yorgos Lanthamos from Christian Nelson Bonzalis. J Fraser says Robert Zemeckis, Oh, boys

always got some stinky boys. Hard disagree. He's got some. He's got some bad news bears in his catalog. Interesting. I mean, the the movie about the Joseph Gordon Levit doing the high wire walk was terrible. I think polar expresses. I haven't seen it, but didn't that kind of generally yeah, I mean, I guess some people think it's a classic. Some people say it's a stinker did He did some terrible Beowolf movie too, That was the all of his

c g I ones are are pretty pretty divisive. But he also did one, if I'm not mistaken, that Welcome to Marwin, which is supposed to be terrible, supposed to be unbearably bad. Boy. Now I'm looking, I'm not sure that Robert Semikis has made more good movies than bad. Did he direct Romancing the Stone? I don't know. Let's see, Holy sh it, well, that's certainly in the good group he did. It's close, man, I bet it's fifty fifty. But hey, this is all in the opinion of the crushers.

So j Fraser, he directed Death bea Comes Her. I didn't know that. I really like Death Becomes Her as as cheesy as it was, And he did all three Back to the Futures. Didn't know that either. Romancing the Stone. Um. He was a big force in the Tales from the Crypt series. He was an executive producer and directed three episodes. Oh dude, I gotta tell you this is really funny. Um. So Contact movie. Contact was the one where uh Jodie Foster uh finds aliens by sending pings into outer space

or whatever. Um. There's an amazing part in that movie where she's got this rack of like equipment in this like lab that's supposed to look like I guess science c type equipment, but it's all like kind of like pro sumer audio equipment. It's the thing she's noodling with is like an effects processor, like like like like delay and reverb and phaser and stuff like that. And she's literally turning this dial trying to tune in the aliens and it's like an electra I'm sorry, even tied. Ultra

harmonizer is the name of the device. You're like, well, that looks fancy. Oh God, bless him. Art department. They work pretty hard. They sometimes they don't quite nail it all. Right. Now, we're gonna do our second and final segment here before stream this UM. I borrowed this from Peach pank Hurst, one of the great old pals here, one of actually names. I'm sorry, see that name again, Peach pank Hurst. That's a great name, Peaches. Peach has been around for a while.

She's wonderful. So I moved this one over to the regular movie crush page just to get a little bit more traction because I was short on time. But Peach asked, and there is a great question, who are some of your favorite movie parents? M hmm, good one, huh? Movie parents? Like favorite just just just I mean as in they were good parents or just interesting characters perhaps that you love, like you know, Elliott's mom and a t like a beloved, beloved movie parents. It's true waller Stone. I mean, I

really love Catherine O'Hara and the Home Alone movies. I mean mainly the first one, even though she's like obviously a negligent, derelict parent. I love the scene when she realizes that Kevin has been left behind. She just goes Kevin and then like passes out. You know, it's just a classic physical comedy moment. I'm trying to imagine Home Alone now with Moira. It turns out we've left her left,

Kevin is home alone. What are we to do? She does that thing where she emphasizes if it's like a three syllable words, she'll really emphasize and then stop on that first syllable. I'm now, I can't even think of a sucking three syllable word or three Uh, I'm losing an old I can't think of that exactly. But I love that she always says it's a bebbet like she would say defy, defy exactly. That's very good. I mean, I think you know this, but she it was not

written that way. I mean, she brought that to it and entirely. Man, I'd love to get her on what a legend fabulous. I might try and do that. I've been getting some good kids lightly, so I'm kind of trying again. You know, the the rub is trying to get someone who can record themselves decently, but totally apparently you can use the zoom audio if they have nothing else, and yeah, just don't get him to wear your buds

or whatever. It totally were all right, we're gonna go with Oh, this is so great, Philly Yates, says Harold Ramos. Playing Seth Rogan's dad and knocked up is the kind of parent I would aspire to be. That was great. Remember that it wasn't a big part at all, but he was such a great dad and those scenes are wonderful. Harold Ramos. Yeah, remember he played the dad and knocked up Seth Rogan's dad. You have a few little scenes together, but they're really great. That's right, yes, And he passed

away not terribly terribly long after that. I believe so sad. He's fabulous. Ethan yavn Or and boy Ethan Yavin here one of the crushers. I've said, you need to get that Yavin for license plate Star Wars, and he did nol and he put a picture of it up. He says Kevin Pollock and Jamie Lee Curtis from The Masterful Film House Arrest, all right, Alfie Brady, says Burt Fisher from Rushmore. He may only be a brain surgeon, but he's all right with me. Yeah, boy, he was great.

Sam Sam what's his face? I'm not sure Rushmore? Max's dad Fisher, Yeah, Bert Fisher, Sam. What's his last name? I can't remember the act. I just don't remember the actor. People are yelling now, I gotta look it up. I hate doing this, but it's okay. I'm with you. Let's see you get Sam Neil. Oh, yeah, Noel. Sam Neil was in Rushmore. Who wasn't it. I don't know, not Sam Rockwell, I've been looking for Sam's in the in the cast list. Seymour, Seymour as, I'm so sorry everyone, God,

so many people are screaming at me. I'm so sorry. Say I'm a good lord. No wonder what wasn't coming up in my own an interesting face? He was also in the Life Aquatic. He was in Dick Tracy briefly. I mean he's a legend. Boy. Look at little Mason Gamble. He's all grown up now, that's so funny. Caroline Gaston one of our old favorites as Morticia and Gomez. John Query says Bill Murray and Fran McDorman and Moonrise Kingdom. Does it concern your that your daughter ran away? That's

a loaded question, great line, Let me see. Joshua Hall says uh siok Wu and trained to Boussan. Yeah, I'm down with that, great, great movie. I would add the parents, um, you know again, not maybe because they were great people, but the parents in Parasite are very you know, they're trying to survive. They ultimately love their kids. They're doing the best they can, but they're also kind of garbage people, but very complex. I want to see that again. So good. Yeah,

I gotta see that. I've probably seen it five times. I just love amazing. T J Danny says, Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson an easy a. Yeah, there were a lot of fun. Weston Holstin says the gris Walds, But for TV, Sam's parents and Freaks and Geeks are my all time favorite fictional parents. Yeah, what about the parents and that seventies show? They're great. I love uh and Kitty and Red Red Oh I think so Yeah, they were fun. I really love that show. It was a

big big fan. Uh oh boy, this one's so great. Ian Tyson, says Harry Dean Stanton as Andy's dad and pretty and pink, so good. He was amazing. I think freaks and geeks of streaming now on something Hulu or Netflix. What a what a crop of talented young young folks that went on to do huge stuff. Yeah, I've seen that twice all the way through. I think it's a third time. Might happen soon. It's very good. Stellen Carlson one of our oldest friends, loving that blue hairage Dellen.

The parents from my neighbor to Toro, because they seem like nice people. They are a lot of good. Well, the parents and Spirited Away are very derelict and awful, uh and negligent. But you're right, yeah, the parents and uh my neighbor Totor are lovely. That's been I bought that knol like five months ago and we still haven't watched it. Watch it with the kid. It's lovely. It's well. We have movie night tomorrow night, so we're gonna watch Aladdin because she's never seen that. But I keep kicking

to Toro down the road. Well. Also, all of the Studio Ghiblie films are on HBO Max Now as well, so really there's there's other really good ones. Spirited Away is great. My neighbor Totoro is probably the most like one of the most one of the more kid friendly ones. But I think she'd like Spirited Away. It's it's a lot of fun. Also, Howel's moving Castle, h Castle in the Sky. They're all lovely, They're all lovely movies. We gotta get gotta get ghibli with it, get Himli with it. Chuck.

Christopher Steiner totally agree here, says Shazam Billie's foster parents were awesome. That is such a sweetheartwarming movie. Manatim only watch that she normally might not be into it. She really loved it. Wonderful Oh, Alan Alida and Carol Burnett in the Four Seasons. That's from Laurie Sutton. I was in college at the time and so badly wanted them to be my parents visiting campus for the weekend. Yeah

for sure. Uh. Someone on the Crushers page on the original post mentioned um apparents in a Christmas story, especially the mom she was so great and wonderful. Mike Mike Sam says the parents from Love Simon. If only every set of parents was that understanding. Did I see that movie? I'm not familiar. I I think I have. I'm pretty sure I have, and I know it and it looks familiar. I'm gonna go with yes. Let me see here, oh Ian Tyson again. Paul Dooley is Jim Baker in Sixteen Candles.

He comes through for Samantha in the end. Yeah, he was a pretty sweet dad. Those U Ferres Spueller, Ferris Spueller, the John Hughes movies had some pretty great parents, including the parents and Farres Always Love I Always Love. Ferris is dad of that movie. He's just so chill. Dan Maynard says George and Lorraine McFly Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.

I think it's important, you know, in those types of movies for the parents not to be that that's one thing that sets them apart from just like, you know, really cliche kind of like one dimensional family type, you know, eighties movies or whatever. It's just like there should be dimension to the parents. They they have like a life

as well, and they that should be seen. Uh as that should be portrayed, you know, accurately at least like like, okay, a great example, not a great movie, but I think a lot of people do have a funnest for this is like American Pie, you know, Eugene Levy, like he sees his son like you know, having sex with a pie. It has to have this awkward moment with his son, which is a thing that parents a lot of times

have to do. Maybe not it's such an extreme example, but you know, parents are often like portrayed as super one dimensional or like they don't have any inner life of their own, and I think movies that that give them that rise to the next level. Yeah, I totally agree. Sofia Fernandez says Steve Martin and parenthood. Uh, and I'm gonna personally throw uh Mary Steen Virgin in there too. She said. He seems like a real depiction of a

real dad laws and all. Yeah, totally. Chel Stone says, uh, Elio's parents and call me by your name speech by the dad at the end is gold, totally, Rachel. Wonderful, wonderful movie. And let's finish off with let Me See Here Boy, Stanley two cham Patricia Clarkson an easy a or getting a lot of love there. And I agree, that's a good movie. Man. So many people said that they were the best, they were the best parents. All right, let's finish up with j Fraser here, says father of

the Bride, Diane Keaton and Steve Martin. Yeah they're pretty great. What a great bearing. I love it, all right. No, we're gonna finish up with Thanks Peach for that. Uh dare I say you are a peach? We're gonna friend Uh finish up here with stream this and nol. I've seen a couple of movies lately. We're still barreling through Ship's Creek season five now. But uh, I failed to mention a few weeks ago when we got back in the Saddle that I did watch Wonder Woman eighty four.

Did you that was not good? I liked it. I did not like it. Yeah, I liked it. I thought, I don't know, I didn't put too much stock in it to be the end all be all, and I thought it was. It wasn't great, but I liked it fine. I enjoyed it. I just thought the villain was so corny and like, just he didn't he didn't do He

wasn't good. At being a villain. He kept making horrible decisions and using this power that he had, like in the most hair brained way, and then at the end like it just the way he did his big villain moment just made no sense. And I just I it fell apart for me and just I just kind of kept being like, really, we're going there, and it was so like over the top of the acting. And I love that actor Pedro Uh what's his name, yeah, Mando. Yeah,

he's great. But um, I was not a fan. See, I kind of liked him actually, um, and I thought he played that role perfectly for what he was. Um. Not a great movie, but I enjoyed it fine. There were enough good moments in it. If I if I pick it apart, it falls apart a bit. But um, I'm gonna defend it a little bit from the people who who thought it was a piece of garbage. But hey, sounds like you're one of those people, know. I just I you know, I wouldn't go so far as to

say it was a piece of garbage. I just disappoint It was disappointing, and I didn't really have a huge expectations and except that Wonder Woman was the first d C movie in a minute that like was actually fun and not just brooding and depressing, and they were, you know, bleak. This one tried to capitalize on that and make it fun and over the top in that same way. I just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Um, but I had enough moments in it. I think that redeemed

it a bit from me. Got it. And then we watched a great movie, one of the best movies I've seen in a while, called Promising Young Woman. Uh no spoilers, but it is the directorial debut of writer director Emerald Finnell or Finnel I'm not sure how she pronounces it. Amazing debut film I believe she created. And what's the showrunner for? Uh, what's the show killing Eve? I have not seen, but it's supposed to be loved. Yeah, Promising

Young Woman is awesome. It was stylish and clever and had a great ending and twists and turns, and it was tense and taught and current and just I loved everything about it. It was awesome. Interesting that you say that, and I've heard the same thing, and it's got nothing

but glowing reviews. Uh, my my lady friend and two of her girlfriends had like a you know, kind of a visit and they watched that and they actually did the whole spend twenty dollars, you know, to get the current movie streaming, and they loved it up until whatever the third act twist is, and then they hated it vehemently with a passion and said they thought it was like anti feminist and that it was like and I think, yeah, I don't know, man, I'm just I'm just reporting what

i've what I heard. I haven't seen it, and I really want to see it. But um they all three apparently were in agreement that it was that they hated the way it went, Like they almost said they felt like it was passed off to a different director all of a sudden and like totally out of character for where the movie was going. But um, I I can't speak to that. I just I wanted to bring that up because I thought it was interesting how much they disliked the ending. Hard disagree. I loved the ending and

I both did good. I'm looking forward to seeing great movie. What have you been watching? I really really like this new Marvel thing WandaVision on Disney. Plus, I haven't seen episode three, Yet it's it's the episode three is when you start to get a little more cracks in the

facade of what's actually going on. I like it purely for what it is like for I think it does such a good job of mimicking the writing and the style and the set deck of you know, things like Bewitched and I Dream of Genie and all that, and then the third one is like a Brady Bunch kind of sixties thing. Um. At first, I'm like, it's a little bit of a head scratch. I'm like, are you

guys gonna just keep this up? Or like, is there gonna be like something's gonna break this this veil of what's going on, and there's gonna be like a real conflict. And I think we're starting to see that happen. Um. I would agree with some of the criticism that maybe it's packing not a whole lot of plots into a pretty big bucket, you know.
