Mini Crush #159

And I think I've probably said this before. I tend to repeat myself occasionally, but there was a show that my daughter was into, and she was very small, called The Littlest Pet Shop, and they rebooted it and gave it a fancy new pop theme, and I like it. You leave things alone, you know, not off with the reboots, Leave me alone? Yeah, get off my lawn. Do you have a lawn? Now? Do you have a lawn? Chuck? It's currently covered in leaves. Uh. And I'm not really a yard person, so I need to I need to

call the guy. I gotta call the guy. I got you or is? My daughter would say, leaves? Leaves? You know, there's a few of those, you know, the deal, those cute things that kids say that we just we're not correcting these last few things because we want to hold onto those as long as possible. We got leaves, She

says guitar instead of guitar. Well, a key tar is a thing, to be fair, Chuck, Surely that's what she's talking about, is the Sometimes she still says beset instead of except that's cute, and just keep saying that I don't care you all day. I'm trying to think of Eden's sister says things are uh spooky, meaning like what does that mean? Spooky? Spooky? Okay, that was a spooky movie. It's spooky and covered in poop. Uh So, no little update on crusher Fest. Emily and I had ad Yeah,

we had a brainstorming sessions. She agreed to produce it because she has, as a former producer and business owner, has great produced oreal managerial skills. Um, And it's gonna be a lot of work. It's a lot to take into account when you're talking about hundreds of people and meals and drinks and activities and events and live recordings. And we're gonna do it at the plaza Chuck, Well, I mean a lot of it will come into focus

once we have a location. I'd like to make it all as walkable as possible, which would mean you know, the plaza and maybe a block of hotel rooms at the Claremont Hotel or the the the the Highland in Yeah, we could actually have too, and we'll probably need to uh so we'll see. I mean it's we're gonna have to cap the attendants. It'll probably be capped at the eyes of whatever movie theater screening room we can get.

And all of this kind of comes down to whether or not we can even get these spaces and all that stuff. But the prospect fills me with enthusiasm. What is funny is on Facebook page with all these people that have never even been to Atlanta that are planning this thing out for me, like, well, here's what you need to do it and we can we can rent a bus and we can do this and that, and I'm just like, whoa. It's like, you people are very sweet.

I know you're excited, but it's uh, it will be planned for you and you can just come and enjoy it. Can we call it the crush bus? Chuck? There will be no bus? What about a shuttle? Hopefully we won't need a shuttles. Yeah, we'll just get ridegays that'll be really safe. And you know, there's also I gotta look at insurance and liability and you know, went to Max fun Con every year, Jesse thorns. We can get away.

And you know, there's a lot you got to take into consideration when there's people there and you're feeding them alcohol and uh, then there's food menus and food sensitivities and gluten freeze and vegetarians and vegans, and you have to account for every single thing you can think of, because no matter how much everyone is awesome and cool, someone will not be happy about It's just true. It's just true. But we're still gonna do it. I can't ask people to sign a non complaint waiver just like

hey be cool. Oh yeah, you know, yeah, there's no just like like like okay, let's just we have an understanding here, right, folks. But anyway, it's uh, it's gonna be great and hopefully that'll be and like, you know, a year in fourteen fifteen months, I'm excited. How are you in your life? I'm good man. Um, I got I got a ridiculous new television. It's it's six D five inches. It's like it's you know, I'll tell you

why I got it. It's because I like to play video games and my TV situation is pretty far from my couch. So I was finding myself squinting at text and and not having as much fun. So I decided I was going to get a big TV, and I just kind of went went all out. That's that's a movie screen. It's a movie screen. And I've got a good Sono system. So now I really have like a good and I got I got my kid gets the

My previous TV was great. It was like, you know, maybe like fifty four inches, and so she gets that has a perfect spot for it. I got this massive new beast and it's really fun and also like has like Apple Airplay built in and like little extra Ku Tremont that that we're not previously available. So I'm excited. That's awesome. Dude, I don't have a huge TV. I mean it's I don't even know how big it is, but you know, it's the size that fits my living room. Um in, my living room won't fit TV. But if

you can fit one, by all means. My m as a huge TV and it looks great. And she said, uh, is it too big? Is it? No? Mom, just get the big one and enjoy watching movies. My girlfriend clowned me about it a little bit because it does take up the entire thing that it's on, but it fits perfectly, like it's like, you know, edge to edge, it's right there. But she's like, it's a little ridiculous. Like I'm like, you shut your mouth. I love it. Don't ruin this for me. Don't make fun of my TV. Yeah. Uh.

Speaking of gaming, UM really quick. You know, I finished Spider Man. I love that game, had so much fun playing it. I started, you know, I got those recommendations from you and others for my Christmas games that I got. I started this game called Days Gone, which is post apocalyptic zombie guys on motorcycles. And no, after you play something like The Last of Us, you just can't play another game like that because they all suck. Yeah, I'm at us. Maybe I can. You can give me a

little advice here, Chuck. I'm at a standstill and in the Last of Us two, I just encountered what they call the shamblers or the big smelly ones that ship gas at you. I can't. I I maybe I don't have the right weaponry, but I keep getting just annihilated by these guys. Well, you can get in a certain situation where you were caught low on weaponry and m O and have to fight a shambler. Yeah, that's tough stuff.

I think I remember being in that case and all, and you know, you're a game, or you just got a muscle through the muscle through it, or maybe even revert to a previous save and try to like sneak arout and find more AMMO or something. Yeah. I mean I got to a point like that in Spider Man where I was like, how do I even defeat this? It might have been the big boss fight at the end with Doc Doc, And uh, the next day I was able to, but I tried twenty five times at

night and couldn't. And then the next day I did it in like two tries. Sometimes you just see a little distance from those things, you know, Yeah, a little perspective. Maybe that's what happened with this. So threw days Gone into the trash. Actually no, I'm going to give these both away. In fact, if you want them, you can have them. But I played it for like an hour and it just you know, when it's not click and

you just you gotta give up on it totally. Uh. And then I put in that Witcher three game, which was recommended, and I didn't get into it. It got stuck at a certain point where it wouldn't let me complete this training, and that aggravated me such it was like a glitch or something. I don't know if I need an update, but I was like, I'm done with this game too. Did you reach the part of the game where you make sweet love? No? Do you do that?

That's apparently a thing in the Witcher games. On the back of a unicorn no less Jesus as it as it happens. Oh, yeah, as it should be, you know. Uh so, I just don't think it's for me. But dude, I tell you what. I started playing and I love and I think you recommended this is the Ghost of Him something not Sushimi Somethingshima. Yeah, I've heard good things. I've heard great things. Oh I thought you played it. I have not played it, but it's been recommended to

me very highly. I was. I was debating between getting that and Last of Us two, but I had a little past with Last of Us. I just had to go that direction. But a lot of folks have recommended this game, and I know the music is by Alejandro Cortini, who is in nine inch nails and does really cool creepy score type stuff. Uh No, spoopy, spoopy music, spoopy sports. It's great, dude. It's like, uh like, for me a game, the graphics have to be outstanding or else I don't

want to play it. And the graphics are great and the gameplay is great. It's sort of like the sort of like Red Dead Redemption, except it Samurai stuff in like, you know, ancient Japan. It's beautiful. I know that's your thing. I know I do a really big fan of that open world. Yeah, that's great. It only took you, like what a hundred and sixty dollars worth of game misses to get there. Well, I got half in half, you know,

like Spiderman and this one. I didn't like the other two and I'll donate those, so it's some kids who needs it. I think I told you it's funny, like have to stay in the gaming corner for too much longer. But it's funny. You say the thing about the graphics, and I do agree with you on that. But the thing that I've have been really obsessed with is just these switch games, and the graphics are great, but they're like not as powerhouse graphics, you know, heavy as PS four,

PS five games. But what they lack in this like incredible top end graphics they make up for and just like pure game design and pure fun and the graphics are exactly right for what the game is. Um, Nintendo has always been really good at that. So like Super

Smash Brother. It's one of the reasons I had to give this Big TV because that's the game where you're fighting with like six or seven other characters in one screen, and it can get really tiny because the camera zooms out so and if you have a small screen, you lose track of your fucking character, dude. And this is you know, been huge literally, so it's been a lot

of fun. That's awesome. I love it. I love it. No, all right, we're gonna go ahead and get right into it with the thing we were supposed to do last week, but we ran late with Paul Schneider because I mean, who didn't want to talk to the s He's a good guy. We're pals. Now here's the swim. You guys are now texting and emailing and it's really nice. You're stealing my boyfriend. No, I'm not my celebrity crush Um. So I asked the good folks in crusher Land, what

movie has a visceral link to a life event? You know, sometimes you go to a movie and and you walk out and you find out your wife is pregnant, or your father has died, or you know, something to really link that moment in time to a film that you can never unlink. So that's what I wanted to hear about. Yeah, uh, let me see here. You got one really quickly, I do right off, because it was Avatar, because my kid got really sick. She was freshly born and she had

this thing that like newborns get. It's like a breathing condition. It's called E E S V or a VM or something like that, and it's like a very common thing in infants. And I was in the movie and I got a call from my mom, I believe, who was watching her that she was like having labored breathing, and we freaked out and left and like rushed home and took out the emergency room and it was a whole thing. So I definitely remember that viewing of Avatar. Avatar, did

you stop to get candy on the way out, like Seinfeld? No, but we did get like she really liked. I don't know. This is very vague, but we u that's funny that we got her like one of those SpongeBob ice cream bar things, the weird like gumball eyes, but they never look as good when you open them as they do on the package. They're always a little melty and a little scary looking. So I remember that as well. Isn't it funny? Man? These things just like sticking your crawl.

It's very weird. Wherever here we go, we'll start with Brittany Gilden or killed in I'm not sure if the K or the J is silent. Jurassic Park. Met my boyfriend at a wedding almost seven years ago and we bonded over our love of dress Sick Park. Fast forward six years, we reconnected in the city we were both living in and he remembered it was one of my favorites and referred to me as clever girl on our first date. That's nice, it's nice. Stellen Carlson, one of

our oldest friends. Dancer in the Dark Tough movie was the only movie I ever saw in a movie theater with my mother. Wow. It's powerful film, and we were both deeply moved by it. I haven't rewatched it, and I don't think I will since my mom is no longer with us. I would prefer to keep that experience just for our thing. You know. I'm sort of afraid that repeat viewings will sully that memory. Oh Stellen, I just have such love for you. That's great, what a wonderful,

wonderful thing. Don't watch it again. Anyway. I realized I was like kind of a glutton for punishment when I was younger, because I had like Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark on DVD and I definitely watched them, bought those. I bought them if you I also had The Wall on DVD, which is another downer though it's a counter hum but anyway, I definitely watched Requiem for a Dream and Dancer in the Dark multiple times.

Alrighty uh? Nick Kelly says Deuce Biggelow European Gigglow because my friend tricked me into going because I never would have agreed. We got there and I was like, this, this isn't dairy queen. How can you be promised to go to get ice cream and get snuck into Deuce biggelow European giggelo. That's not even like that's the sequel. Yeah, I think so what was the first one? He was just the male jigglo and it's the second one. I guess they took it international. That's what they do with sequels.

That's what they do. I mean, even good movies. Look at Spiderman Homecoming or not Homecoming Far from Home. That's what they did there. But that was too great effect. Yeah, I agreed. Derek Speedy says, me and two childhood friends sat in a hotel room and ordered Insomnia cookies. Never heard of those. It's delivery cookies for stoners. Really, yep, you were quick to Uh, I've never done it. I just know it exists. It's over by the plaza. Actually

there is insomnia. I think it might even mean more than one, but yeah, it's it's I honestly have questioned the business model. I'm like, you know, I do. How many people really want twenty four hour cookie delivery. It seems like I would just go to the croaker or something, or the good grocery store. Well not if you're stoned, you know, you can walk over that. I quite enjoy a good Stone grocery store walk about. Sure, it takes a lot longer, though it's true, and you buy a

lot of ship you don't really need. It's like, oh, man, I haven't had fruity pebbles in a long time. Uh so, Derek says. They ordered insomnia cookies while watching good Will Hunting the night before our first day at Harvard. Yeah, that's good. Is that about Harvard? I'm kidding. I remember a good Will Hunting. That's the one with the janitor who's really smart, right, Yeah, that's right. Robin Williams sorr I p yeah, and many drivers, how many didn't? Yeah,

gotta listen to that episode. I like it's good. She's great, very crushable person to talk to, and I think a lot of listeners were like, oh my god, I could just listen to her talk all day with that accent. Zack Poyner says, uh, one of our old pals, of course, as fight Club, when the car flips and the characters let go of control is like when I was a passenger in a car that flipped. Okay, and stand by Me also makes me feel similar due to the fact that the times that I played in the woods with

friends when I was a child. All right, good stuff, sack, Lisa, Um, I'm sorry, Ilsa Lund says Deadpool. My partner and I watched it on our second date, the day that we now celebrate our anniversary. We watched Deadpool every year sometime around at that same time. That's great. All right. Here's one from Kristen Egan kind of a tough one, Blue Valentine. Did you ever see that movie? No? No, I just seemed like a real downer it is. That is enough said.

My divorce is finalized. The month before, I saw in the theater the scene where she finally tells him it's over so eerily like my counterpart. Really shook me and never been able to watch it again. Yeah, Kristen, don't stuff. The reason why I didn't watch that marriage story should have just called a divorce story. Why are they burying the lead there? You know? I mean, and I still know? Yeah, I mean, I look again, specifically, I have been through

a divorce. That ship is not fun. I made it through the other side, so you think I wouldn't be chaired. And I'm friends with my ex, so it's not like some huge shame in my life. But that ship was traumatic, man, I don't. I don't need to be reminded of that. No,

I'm with you. In fact, you know, I told Emily when we were texting the other day that you watched in and of itself, and we can chat about that for a secon but that you watched it with your ex wife and that that you gotta I just said, you know, you've got a really nice scene there with her family that you're so close to, and uh, you know, of course with an adopted kid, we always say there are a lot of ways to make a family. She just thought it was great, and I think it's great,

and all man appreciate a wonderful, wonderful thing. The funny thing is I watched it for the first time with my girlfriend previous night, and then the next night I was ended up hanging out with my ex wife and we watched we watched it together. So I watched it with two kind of special ladies in my life back to back. It was very nice, both very cathartic, meaningful viewings. And I just can't speak you know, we already talked about, but I just want to add my hat to this

particular ring. I cannot speak highly enough about this thing. It's just incredible, agreed, And don't google it. Just go watch it and watch it when you can really put that fucking phone down and turn the lights down and get into it. In fact, it has it's at the beginning of the movie, you know, the performance, it says, please put away your phone at home and just watch this thing. And I mean this isn't a spoiler at all.

It just it made it made me um remember why theater is so magical, and it just made me miss it in a big way, big time, and in a good way. In a good way. It made me, uh not take it for granted, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, And like I texted you, it's one of those things where it's one of those performances that I was so mad I couldn't see live. But you can tell.

It's one of those things that when you leave that theater, you catch eyes with people that you don't even know and you're all like, yeah, we shared something tonight that was very special, And now I have this weird bond with all these strangers who I'll never see again, but we all saw that show together, and I've had those moments and it's great. Same for sure, watch it everyone.

It's on Hulu, in and of It's all. Charles Martinaker is one of our oldest friends, says leaving Las Vegas reminded me of the last year or so of my grandfather's life in his struggles. Man, these are some of these are really tough. Uh. Eric Mill said, I saw The Big Lebowski and Amsterdam. I saw pulp fiction in Amsterdam. No, not the first time, but I saw it again there. Did you get yourself a fucking beer? A real glass

of beer? I wanted to see a movie in another country, you know, and we did remember that was in it. Like in Amsterdam, you can get a glass of beer at the movie. I probably was super high, but um, I don't know about the beer. Uh. Eric says, I was part of It was a beautiful day there. I always remember language and culture not the same thing. As I was the only one laughing during an intermission. Uh. Some guy asked me why I thought it was funny

and insisted the film was stupid. I said it was a language nuanced thing and he rejected that as he was clearly fluent in English. Agree to disagree. I could see movie like Big Lebowski being a tough translation in a country like Amsterdam or Holland. Huh yeah, well yeah sure, I mean, you know, not being a native Holland Dais speaker. Uh, I'm kidding. That's a joke. It was a Dutch right,

they speak Dutch? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah sure. A lot of a lot of cultural specificity in the big Leowski too, not only American culture, but very like l a centric culture kind of you know, yeah, Like I could see how a line like you know, the the rug really tied the room together. It's a very funny line. I could see someone European just going like, what why is that funny? Ruggs Ruggs really do tie rooms together? This is not a joke. It also makes fun of Europeans

a little bit, you know. So yeah, I guess it kind of does, doesn't it. Well, I mean, just like you know, Julie and and and like they're like what they were in like a craft work adjacent kind of like electronic bands. Wasn't it called Autobahn? I think it was called the Lincoln Berry Pancakes, Yes, exactly. Amy Man lost her toe. Oh yeah, that's right, that was amy Man. I should try and get her on the show a link to her. I met her a couple of times.

Big Man fam Chris Campbell says, I worked for FedEx when Castaway was made. I flew in the jump seat probably a hundred times. That plane crash scene was a little unnerving. Yeah, I can imagine that would be quite strange, Jesse Cole says, Gummo shutters. In fact, it's what Jesse says. That movie felt just a little too much like some of my childhood, Like my mom's boyfriend at the time would have been one of those guys throwing the chair

around in the kitchen. Oh boy, And for those few years we are a little more than free range kids. Uh wow, when I think back of what could have been had we not moved to live with my dad, who was far from perfect but way better scenario. I'm

sorry to hear that, Jesse. Yeah, no joke. That was a movie for me that I saw, really, you know, at that same age where I was watching things like Dancer in the darkened uh and uh Raccoon for a Dream, And that's another movie where you kind of got to be a glutton for punishment to watch that one repeatedly, because it's just like pure depravity and just kind of like Squaws comforts discomforts, and I mean, it's it is. It's a beautifully made film, but it's like very I

would not call it a pleasant movie. You know, it makes you squirm. I've seen it more than once, but I don't think I will again. Old Buddy Vanessa Cashman says, watching Alive in the theater when I was nineteen, had to leave the theater abruptly because the plane crash scene brought back all the memories when I was of when two planes crashed in my neighborhood when I was thirteen,

and I saw all the carnage. Oh my god, over eighty people died, both on the plane and on the ground and were scattered on streets, church, my elementary school. Very up setting. And I've never finished watching that movie. Oh good lord, Vanessa. It's unbelievable. But also it's so interesting how movies can just be so tied to these moments. You know. Music is like that for me, sometimes even

more so, like I distinctly remember it's so silly. But like James E. Haaw from The Smashing Pumpkins had this solo album called let It All Come Down and it's not particularly good. It sort of sounds like he's trying to go for this like seventies am kind of pop vibe. But like I was listening to it when the love of my life, first love girlfriend just dumped the ship out of me, and so I very distinctly have a couple of songs from that record playing on repeat. And

then it happened again. We got back together and she dumped me again, and uh that that record was the back record, the very um folky back record. Change look another. I mean that's a downer record. Anyway. Does she live in Atlanta, knol or anywhere around here where we can go poop in a bag and put it on her porch? All good? I have talked about her on the show. She sent me that box of DVDs. Alright, alright, no poop for her. In fact, that's a terrible thing to do. Know.

Some people deserve it. Some people deserve to get some really pooped on. That reminds me of the great line from I Can't Buy Me Love. They do that to a friend and he later gets really upsets upset and says, you should on my house, my house. I don't know that one check I'll check it out. Uh. Lenia Barnett says. One of our old friends says, my grandma passed away when I was at Disney World a few years ago.

When I got home, I was a wreck. My husband planned a special evening to help me get my mind all things, not knowing the full story of Cocoa, just knowing, oh boy, that it was supposed to be great. And then I just returned from Disney, so we rented it. At the end of the movie, we both realized what was about to happen. He looked at me and said, I'm so sorry I didn't know, and I literally cried for hours. I still can't hear that song without crying. Oh Lenny, A good lord, I can't believe Cocoa of

all movies. Hopefully you can sort of laugh about that now. About life's irony's I think I don't know, like like I may have mentioned this before on this show as well. Um, but my father died very suddenly and I was very, very invested and into the show six ft Under, which is obviously every episode is about somebody dying. It's about a family that lives in the funeral home. And you would think having gone through that that I would like stop watching that show, but I just doubled down and kept.

I mean it was on like for real, and I just like that was my show and because it was cathartic, you know, going through that with those characters that I loved, and the dad who would come back and who would come back and give like advice and all this business and um you you know, thinking back on it now, I'm like, God, that was heavy that I would continue to watch that, but it really did kind of helped me in a lot of ways. So I think movies

can can do that. They can really like make connections for you, allow you to grieve in a way where you feel like you have support and you're not just doing a vacuum or something. You know, I don't know. Yeah, No, I love it. Art can heal, Buddy. Clement Scott's A Sound of Metal really move me deeply as I am suffering from hearing loss. Oh boy. Fortunately mine isn't as rapidly advancing, but the portrayal really hit me hard. Sorry

to hear that, Clement. These are all very tough. This is this is a very heavy, uh segment, Chuck, But but very important. I think this is this is really good stuff to talk about, and it is a good point that, like all this stuff can really give you a lot of solace or at least perspective. You know, all these are really sad. I mean, I haven't really come across one where it was like, hey, the best thing ever happened to me when I watched this movie.

Have you seen Sound of Metal yet? I've heard about it. I've read about it. It does seem it does seem very uh, intent and heavy, but it seems very beautiful. I don't know. I worry about that for myself because I can't imagine I put so much I get so much joy out of hearing obviously, because I'm making music and love music and do fucking podcasts obviously, so I can't imagine losing that entirely. Yeah, it's good. It's heavy. Uh.

One of my friends worked on that movie. He and as as uh partner or I think they're married, maybe maybe his wife are producing partners. And sometimes they're um line producers. Sometimes if it's a smaller movie, they're the you know, producer producers. But they worked on like a bunch of stuff Sound of Metal and Knives Out in that movie, with Uh. I can't remember the guy's name, but um, he is a listener now and and I'm gonna have them both on the show and get their

take as producers, and it would be pretty enlightening. I think awesome. Michelle Johnson, one of my favorite crushers, says the Breakfast Club. This came out toward the into my sophomore year. Uh, we're right about the same age of the Michelle, and just hit close to home. I knew each one of these people and really wished I was viewed as Claire, but I was much closer to the Allison profile. Me and my best friend at the time saught about a dozen times opening weekend, so watch it

about once a month. Yeah, Michelle, that movie I saw in the theater, big movie for me and for people of our generation. And then let's let's finish up here with Austin Handler, one of our old pals. Here Dogtown and z Boys the documentary. I grew up skateboarding in southern California right at that same time, about fifteen miles down the coast from Dogtown and her Moosa Beach. Watching

this documentary, it's like stepping back in time. It is spooky um, isn't there also like a fictionalized kind of version of that. There was a feature film, yes, Lords of Dogtown not good. I mean it was okay. The documentary is much better, but Lords of It it was fine, it was all right. I think they're trying to do a TV show of it now. I think I've heard that recently. Yeah, alright, Noel, there are a lot of good things on here. I wish I could get to them all um, but I encourage people to go and

search out this thread and show some love. It's a it's a lot of a lot of really good, heartfelt stuff from a great group of heartfelt people. All Right, Noel, We're gonna finish up with something from the Crushers page from one of our old pals, John Stockton, and he says, this is a good one. What is a favorite fake movie or show within a real movie or show? You know when they do that, there's some good stuff, because that's where you can have a lot of fun being

kind of ridiculous most times. For instance, Ryan Murphy, that and a lot of these I won't know because some of them are just memes or scenes, but you can probably help me. But he has the scene from what was the Ben Stiller war movie comedy spoof Tropic Thunder. Yeah, he has the movie within a movie from Traffic Thunder that we're Ben Stiller is. Uh is the boy with a little kind of funny page boy haircuts like simple something. Yeah,

you make me happy in the scene. I mean that's slightly problematic scene, sure is, But I think let me talk about this show this several times anything knew exactly what they were doing in that. Yeah, uh, let me see here, all right. Diana Ratliffe says, rural juror God, what was that that brings a bell? That's that's from thirty Rock right right? Uh. Djokoski keeps a classic can just goes with itchy and scratchy of course, very much classic.

Um let me see here, Oh, Jillian Stanley, threat Level Midnight, hilarious. That's good. That was office right, it was. Yeah. Some of the most fun are just the titles of these things that they come up with. Threat Level Midnight, Like what what does that even mean? Absolutely nothing, Jordan Ramirez says from the movie soap Dish, the sun also sets. That's very funny. Wayne Katz also says, itchy and scratchy Joe bomb Gardner. This is from Seinfeld Rochelle Rochelle A

Young Woman's Erotic Journey from Milan to Minsk. Of course classic. We were talking about how like for sequels they always go international and then eventually they have to go to like space. Remember the Emmanuel movies, they were like erotic thrillers maybe or maybe just really have heard of those. I think they used to show him on Skin of Max back when I was in my formative years as a as a young man, and I remember it was Emmanuel and Bangkok, and there was Emmanuel and Spain, and

then eventually I believe Emmanuel went to space. If I'm not mistaken, you say, this is someone who sounds like they're trying to not say they've seen them all. I have not seen them all. I've definitely seen in Bangkok. Uh. Tanya Collette, one of our old friends and a lot of people, of course, said the crows have eyes, a reference that I finally get because I finished It's creek. I have not yet, but I very much am enjoying it. Yeah, where are you three? Maybe? And the three they have

the boutique now yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great. Um, It's so funny because when Emily's watching that those scenes with that store, because you know Emily has a very similar store, and she's just like a man, it's so aggravating these TV stores, like no one's in there, they're it's so high on that place. They're still making money somehow and thinking about expanding. She was like, this is so annoying, like the struggles of small business or just

washed away in TV land. Have you been watching One Division, Chuck? Uh? You know, I watched the first two episodes and haven't been back since. But I need to. I need to just go and and barrel through it. Boy, hottie, it gets it goes places. I dig it. I can't wait. I dig it. Matt Kramer has another thirty Rock reff Milf Island. Yes, I think I remember that all right, Here we go with Caroline guest and says I hated Entourage, but I'd like to see all of any Chase's movies. Yeah,

those were always kind of fun. Did you talked about that? It was one and then there he was in. He was in like aqua man. That was a big thing. But they all looked real. They all looked real, cheesy and and silly and like kind of campy and like they weren't particularly good. I you know, I'm with you, I'm with I'm with most people on this. It's not a good show. But for some reason I really like blasted through it. It was watchable. But it's like it's

got cringe. It's got serious cringe. Oh I'm sure it does not age well. But I watched it at the time. I quite enjoyed it. Though. The theme it's got to be peripher going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a good song. Uh. I mean I liked it. I liked it, but I was never like I like these guys. I was not like, these are my boys. You know. It wasn't like that. To be clear, there was gotta have a turtle. I think I am the turtle of my group. I am the turtle, so you know, turtle.

Turtle was cool. Turtle was good. Yeah, but you're not turtle. If they're not any of those guys, you're way better than all those guys. I did like the part where Johnny Drama got the caffine plants, though in his legs. So dumb. Meryl Pruce says another from Tropic Thunder Satan's Alley. I forgot about that. That's pretty good. Oh well, of course, uh Dan Gaffney from From Home Alone Angels with Dirty Souls, which I thought it was a real movie up until

a few years ago. Did there was? There was an article that came out not read not that long ago that that like showed a behind the scenes of them making that clip. And then I think in the second one we talked about this, how you hate the second one, and you're right, it's total retra because the clip on the second one was Angels with Filthier Souls. That was pretty funny. Yeah, it was Merry Christmas, your filthy Animal.

I I didn't hate the seconde I thought it was a lazy remake, but I did enjoy parts of it and really enjoyed watching it with Ruby h One of our old friends, Anna Shrets says the Dracula puppet musical from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Yeah, that was fun and really weird. Did you see that movie? Yes, but it's been a long time, and I remember it being remarkably different than what I thought it was going to be. Isn't that the one where dude like hangs dong like for a while. Yeah,

I mean that was an enjoyable enough movie. That d Regula puppet show thing was very strange. It's very sure. I need to rewatch it because it's it's not what I expected. I expected it to be a real run of the mill rom com situation, and it was quite different. It has Russell Brand in it, who's really funny, and I need to watch that again. I remember liking it a lot. I don't know this reference Stanley Spodowski's Clubhouse.

That's for Megan Broyles and a few other people. What is that, Let's see, it's reading a bell Stanley's Spandowski. He is in the movie U h F and is played by and is played by Michael Richards. Okay um. He looks to be some kind of weird, like offensive children's television show host. And I think there's a part where he makes the kid drink from the fire hose.

I remember that scene. He drinks from the fire hose and it shoots the kid across the room because it's you know, such such pressure coming from these fire hoses. I love it. Another one from the office office, Seth Johnston says the Jack Black and Chloris Leachman movie and then someone under I think Sean Atwood said was called Mrs Albert Hanna Day and a bunch of people remarked on that that that was one of their favorites. I don't remember that one. B J Lyndja and quite a

few other people said all my balls from Idiocracy. Uh von Bodette, one of our old pal says lethal weapon five from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia thunder Gun. A bunch of people have said that Israel u Archiga areas as always sunny in Philadelphia. Oh is there's a series of action movies, the thunder Guns. Yeah, ump recently, Chuck, I mean I watched it for the show a couple

of years ago. Joe Randazzo picked that, so yeah, remember well there's a lot of little Inside World TV commercials and there's a guy who's like, I'll buy that for a dollar, and it's like some of you don't understand what it is, like is it a game show? Like what is it? And he's it's it's always kind of like gross looking like double dare and there's like, you know,

scantily clad women. But that's that movie. Um should get a little more credit as being a pretty brilliant satire in a lot of ways, and it's I watched it on my new Giant TV the other day just to try it out, and then look, you know, you know what, man, let me tell you guys this and this is something probably everybody knows, but if you don't, you should. Uh. Most TVs when you buy them, they come with that stupid motion smoothing turned on where it makes everything look

like video. And sometimes it's like they don't want you to find it, they don't want you to know where it is. Why is that the default? I don't I don't get it. I had to google where it even was. It was buried deep into in a series of menus. Weird that they that is the default. I've never understood it. It literally and makes it look completely different. The motion just looks unbelievable, unnatural. I put on Robotop and all of a sudden, like what is going on with this movie?

And I was like, I gotta turn this off until I get to the bottom of this. And I figured it out. But yeah, motion smoothing, it's either called that or like, yeah, it's terrible. But I mean we've talked about it on the show before it's awful and so fine. It should be an opt ind. It should be an opt in, not an obscure opt end, like it should be buried to turn it on, and it should be called ship vision yes, select, yes or no like there. It's so weird that it's the default. I don't get it.

I just don't get it. And also, like we've we've we've talked about on the show too, how filmmakers are against it because it's literally like shipping all over there intended you know, viewing experience. Yeah. Yeah, it's bad news, man, bad news, especially again for like movies from the eighties. It just totally changes the whole field or anything in twenty four frames a second. It changes the entire field. Yeah, I can see how would be useful for sports something,

you know what I mean, something like that. It's still it never looks good. It doesn't look good with sports. I agree, it's terrible. Uh let me see a bunch of thunder guns. Let's finish up here with um Matthew fober says honorable mention to Cone in the librarian. Yeah, that's in UHF as well. Also in UHF, these are a lot of fun. Everyone. You can search the search for John Stockton on the movie Crushers page. It's a thing.

I love it. The movie or TV show. Within the movie or TV show is always a chance to have some ridiculous fun. So I think that wraps it up and spanks it on the bottom for this one. Nol, we'll do us stream stream this in the next one because I got some stuff to talk about. I got a few things too great, So let's wrap this one.
