Mini Crush #165

or governance of the United Kingdom. Are you saying that it is an antiquated system and they should just get rid of the Royals? Already a little bit people like them though, Man, Brits are weird, like the old money Brits, like the legacy business e, you know, imperial kind of Brits are very strange. I'm obviously a lot of amazing progressive human beings in the UK, but as a country and as a system, there's some weirdness there. We we we go over it and stuff they don't want you to

know all the time. And just discussed all the stuff that's been happening with Megan Markle and the kind of low key shaded racism, sure me and lobbed at her and like you know, they're non attention to mental health that extends as far back as you know generations. But also like with Diana, she needed mental health assistance and they basically swept that out of the carpet and look what happened there. Sorry, I don't know why I'm talking about the royals at the top. This is just my

hot take. You asked me for a hot take, Chuck, It's gonna get hot. I love it, man, I watched that interview. We're into it, we love the Crown. We're we're some of those Americans that are not royals obsessed, but we're into those stories. Man. And I thought that racism thing was not surprising. And of course they're like, we're not racist, um, Whereas I think what they should be saying is we're not overtly racist. It's it's like, but about that bloodline, just that's not racist? If we

want it really white, is it pure? Is the driven snow? There's there was a story in the Crown. You you've seen the Crown all the way through, yes, all the way through. So there's a story that comes up about I believe it was Elizabeth's like like developmentally disabled sisters or cousins or something, and they essentially said they were dead and just like put the exile in this like creepy you know. What they would call in those days

a sanatorium. Now we call a mental health facility or whatever, but they called it that because they were horrible places and they were not clean, that the methods of treatment were very barbaric. And apparently these royal you know cousins were just kind of trundled off there and claimed to have been dead and then it turns out they were not all dead. Uh, And that's sort of a benchmark for the way the Royal family treats mental health issues. Yeah,

I mean the Kennedy's did the same thing. They had. There was a Kennedy sister that went away as well, you know what, you know what I mean, I do. And weren't the Great Gardens Sisters related to the Kennedy's distantly in some way? The Gray Gardens sisters little little Little and little Phoebe well whatever her name was, you know, Yeah, they were great documentary Um, they were, Yes, they were

relatives of I think it was Eady Bouvier Beal. I think they were Jackie's original family because Jackie was a Bouvier previous to being a Kennedy and in Onassis. So yeah, there's a there's a headline. I found Fox News grain of salt this but Jackie Kennedy Onassis was horrified of reclusive aunt cousin living and crumbling. Gray Gardens book claims, by the way, no, you got trounced for your good fellas. You know. Look, And the sad thing is, I could have claimed I hadn't seen it in years, but I

literally just rewatched it. Um. I forgot they went to Florida too. I forgot they went to Florida, and a dozen times or more. It was a blip. And the reason I started thinking, you know, and neither one of us could place where exactly the whole show movie was supposed to take place. We did determine that it was Brooklyn. I believe in the episode at some point, I don't know. People up, I gotta say, Austin Handler and Ethan Yavine Anastasio, you guys can shove it. Hey, I'm gonna bring I'm

gonna bring that back. Shove it, shove it. Uh yeah, what what what did what did Bart Simpson used to say, eat my shorts? Yes, eat our collective shorts and mine and your shorts shorts shorts in that context, would that mean like my you know, short pants or like underwear. I didn't eat my shorts means underwear. I think you're probably right. That would be more gross. Eat my cargo pants.

He the large oversized pockets of my cargo pants that had all their contents that hold four beers and a hammer. So Nola is pouring down rain right now, thank god, because Atlanta is having the week of yellow pollen, and now there are yellow rivers running down the streets of Atlanta. My dear, dear friend Harry is visiting me, and he is the sweetest house guest. He literally went out and swept the pollen out of my car port without even and she just did it. And then then the very

next day yellow over all over again. You gotta wait for that rain. I saw a a line of cars outside the car wash, like sixty cars waiting to get through. I was like, what are you doing? Why bother? Let your car be yellow for a week, then it goes away the week and a half or so. It's not a long severe I mean the pollen count aside, but the yellow stuff it's only for a week or two. Do you think that cold Play songs about life in the South so yellow and yellow? I liked one of

those albums back in the day. That's the one. Now, that's the one, Parachutes, that's a good record. I like the cold Rush of Blood to the Head is that That was the next one. I thought that was pretty good too. That one had clocks on it. That one's good too. Those were two. Those are too good, back to backs. I think I ended up just wanting to kind of face punch Chris Martin for various reasons. He's

got a very punchable face, and it's probably not fair. Yeah, I'm sure he's a lovely man, but he just something about him, and like the way he's just constantly grinning and just showing all his teeth. You know, I don't know something about that. He's a little too happy for my happy for my taste too. And also they named their daughter Apple, which bothers me. Was that bother I don't know why that bothers me? I don't know. People, we don't want to yuck their young. No old people

can name their kids. They might think your daughter's name is dumb. They might and now we still get a face punch and they can eat our collective shorts. Yeah, i'd be find the name a kid like sandwich or something, you know, sandwich brown apple, apple and sandwich and then and then fruit cup. How about gonna name I'm gonna have another kid. No, We're gonna adopt another son, and I'm gonna name him Lunchable Bryant, Chuck, I have to

make a confession on the podcast really quickly. I may have I have him nine am early call every two weeks, and I may have accidentally fallen asleep for about a minute and a half during Today's during Today's and I think people may have heard me snore once or twice. I don't know this for a fact, but I'm I'm fishing for it with like you know, kind of probing texts that like about other things, like so everything's cool, right, tell him it's the pollen. You can blame everything on pollen.

I think I could probably do that, Chuck. It's also like, come on, if it hasn't happened yet in this world of COVID, I think I probably get one pass for one's call snooze right at nine am. If you ever fall asleep on a mini crush. You're fired from the job that pays you nothing. Okay, fair, No, this is my prestige. Is the prestige part of the up all right? Normal?

So what we're gonna do this week is we're gonna do because we usually have a longer catch up when we don't talk for a couple of weeks, like we just did in episode one of two that we're recording. We're gonna go with a movie crusher post from the great Patrick Gorman, who always has he brings the goods. And then we're gonna do a stream this because I have quite a few little things to talk about. Uh, so let's get it fired up, Sir Gorman said, this, nol you wake up in the last movie you watched?

What do you do first? And how's your day looking? I drank too much last night and watched the last Waltz again and stopped making sense again. Wow, So I'm in one of those movies, those those counts movies. Are you on stage? Are you in the band? Literally the band? Are you in the Talking Heads? Or just like a happy spectator? I mean, unfortunately I think I'm a spectator. But you know, my my concert time Machine. Answer is

always last Waltz. Like, if you could go to any show at any time, it would be at that show at winter Land ball Room in San Francisco in six Um. So yeah, that's that's where I am. So my day is going great? And what do you do first? The first thing I do is, uh, sniff around, see if anything's anybody's holding near by me? Exactly, go get a beer. Yeah, give Neil Young a heads up on that big old rock of cocaine hanging out of his nose. They had

the cookea booger. Had to tell Himilie about that. Had to google a picture of it because they took it out right or and they took it out. They took it out like frame by frame. I think they had to, That's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's I think they got George Lucas on that. You know, what's the last movie you watching? All? Where are you working up today? Full movie? I watched, Oh that's Snyder cut, Baby. We'll

put a pin in that for extream this. Then, um, quite a few people actually watch the Snyder Cut last because I'm looking down the list here and Genesis Chapman, Welcome to the show. Genesis says, damn it, I guess that in Sax Snyder's Justice League thing, I'm I'm living in a great nightmare hell escape. My world is entirely in slow motion. Everything is just lightning, bolts flickering, and I trying to get to the fridge but slow It's unbelievable. Dude,

it's it's it's laughable. We'll get into it. But I overall quite enjoyed the film, but there are some some Zack snyderisms that have always bugged me, and it is on full blast in this thing. I don't know about that guy. Not a huge fan, not a huge fan. He keeps getting these big movies, though, and he knows how to make them like he makes them, but I just don't like the way he makes them. Well, he knows how to finish the film and get it released.

Do you mean he just has this aesthetic that he's been using it since that three D and three hundred really well, and so you know, he did a Watchman movie that was fine, but it just wasn't a huge, huge, hugely into his aesthetic. A great Uh let me see here. Nick Kelly says, RoboCop two, so I'll probably get murdered by criminals or by killer robots. Gorman himself says, the Snyder cut days looking pretty bleak, So I'm going straight down to party in Atlantis. Atlanta does seem like the

most chill of the bunch. You know, they've got their whole world kind of I don't know, got they got a they got a good vibe. I like them, the Atlanteans. Uh, let me see here. Michael Ormand says, does into the Spider verse. Count of course it does. You can wake up in that movie. Um. Yeah, But Michael doesn't see what's going on there, what he's doing. He says this, It was only ten minutes until I realized that it was Thursday night not Friday. I'm not sure what Michael saying.

I'm sorry, Michael, explain yourself. Yes, please clarify. Uh Andy Keppler says, Fugazi instrument, So things are looking pretty good for me. Nice? Was that like a documentary? I guess I didn't know those of Fugazi documentary. I gotta see that. Yeah, I remember hearing the name of that. I like that instrument. That's great, Yeah, documentary because they're they're the history of that band is so much about the history of like DC punk and hardcore, like kind of more political uh

punk and hardcore. I'd love to see that. I don't know them super well, but they're one of the more melodic bands in that bunch. They actually have cool melodies and they're not just screaming scream, which doesn't do it for me. Must Yeah, he still loves Fugazi back in the day in college and um, what was the other BANDI Helmet? You remember Helmett? Helmet was cool, Helmett was

fucking awesome. Well, the drummer for Helmet went on to be in that band Battles that was kind of like an electronic tinged sort of math rock band, and he the thing when he played live where he has one symbol that's like six ft up in the air and he has to reach up like with this one long arm and like, you know, hit it. It's sort of a gimmick, but I guess it's his thing. But it's

drummers to things like that. Sometimes. The drummer for Emily used to know, or I guess still does know the two of the people in Silver Sun Pickups when we were in l A before they when they were just a very small little band in l A. She knew them because they worked like production jobs when Emily was a producer, and uh, they ended up getting to be

a much bigger band. And when uh, my buddies to Henry Clay people rolled through town, they opened for the Silversun Pickups at the Tabernacle got us backstage and Emily we got to say hi to the Silversun people. I think the bass player and the and the maybe the lead singer or who she knew, but their drummer long winded story had these crazy, weird high symbols if I remember correctly, and I just didn't get it. Can you google that? Yeah? Yeah, I actually am, and I wanted

it's funny that you say that. My buddy Matthew Bizelle, who is a filmmaker who lived in l A, live next door to the bassis of the Silver Sun Pickups, and she I played in a little band with him called Night People with Shaun Eden from Luna, and she did some guest vocals on a couple of songs that we did, like remotely or whatever. But her name is Nicky Nicki monager Um, and he lived next door to her somewhere in LUs Phillis area, Los Feliz, Los Felis,

Les Felis, that's where we lived. Yeah, I'm looking at the strummer. He has this one symbol jacked up there like seven ft high? Wild? Why do people do that? What a drummers do? Weird things, you know? I mean it's very particular, Like I have a drum kit here, and every time a different drummers sits on it, like they always tend to tweak things just so slightly, like

move the symbols, the angle of the symbols of course. Yeah. Yeah, every time I uh set up the drum kit for my drummer when we move band spaces, he always comes in and just sort of pats me on my head and goes, you're cute, let me let me do it right.

I like a little height on the symbols though, because it's sort of about like, you know, if you're really getting into it, you want to be able to kind of just like lunge and hit them, and so they need to be have a little height to him or else you'll accidentally hit him while you're hitting the toms or something. Yeah, I hear you. What else we got?

I got Daisy Christina A brew. One of our old pals says, putting on She's putting on a little black dress and going to Tiffany's unless it's Thursday, in which case she's heading to Sing Sing to get the weather report from Sally Tomato. Goodness me, Sally Tomato. I don't know this character. I don't either, ok uh. One of our old pals, Caroline Gaston, says, finally got around to Trial of the Chicago Seven. I'll stand out since they were like three whole women in the movie. I haven't

seen that one yet. It does the only it has some B D E in that movie. What does b D E b D energy think about a bit? You know, bit man man manpower, b D big big dick Oh geez yeah, big dick energy is a thing. I just mean there's a lot of big, tough, posturing males in that movie trying to change the world. You know, that's the vibe I get. How do you feel about what's his face as Abby Hoffman? As can you take him

seriously as a serious actor. I didn't see it, but I mean in general, in general, sure, I'm all about him, Like I think he could be. I think he probably is a really good actor, and and it's it's not fair to say stuff like Borat isn't good acting, because that's a hell of a disappearance he makes in those movies. You know, completely, No, I agree with you. I used to love that Ali G show back in the day. That was good. It was great. It was Has he done a big movie with all the characters? And my

missing one? There's Ali G in the house? Bore at two of those and then obviously the Bruno one. Was it those three characters or did you have a fourth one that I'm forgetting? Those are the three that I Yeah, yeah, brilliant comedian. I love all three of those guys. They're all great. Yeah. Yeah, the movie was you know, it wasn't as successful, but as a sketch or whatever. The little Speaking of prank things, have you seen this new Eric Andre things on Netflix called Bad Trip. Crushers were

talking about it. I want to see it. I guess it's it's apparently sort of a calm. It's like it's it's definitely in the spirit of Borat, where they're doing real things, where the characters are interacting with real people, and it's it's intermixed with like you know, shot type scene type things that are written. But it sounds interesting, sounds like a hybrid. It's from the director of Jackass, so I guess that all makes sense. Very interesting. I'll

have to check that out to do. Like Eric andre uh Nathan Nichols says, Manchester by the Sea, things are looking grim to say the least. God nikes, yikes. William Angus is in Scream too, so William is checking all the corners and looking behind all the doors. Two is good. I liked. We talked about this. I think all the way through like three there, they were all pretty good, but like I think one and two were really my favorites. Yeah, I agreed, agreed. Emily worked on Scream too. That was

shot here at Agnes Scott. That's right, we've we've definitely talked about that before. That's cool. Katie Howard says, having a white Russian and going out to get a new rug and then bowling after that. I know what Katie watched Our oldest of friends. Melinda Baccalo says, wet, hot American summer, so pretty busy, lots of Shenanigan's. Maybe some hooking up going to be a good day. That'd be a fun movie to be in. Did you see this the series they made out of that for Netflix? Of

course it was so good. I thought it really hit the same spirit of the movie, uh and felt in not okay, necessaries maybe the wrong word, but if connected. I didn't feel like an afterthought or some kind of throwaway. I love that world. Tera Lee Shaw says saw who Boy, not much I can do since I'm chained to some pipes in a grimy old bathroom. I've had better days. Oh boy, thanks, no, thanks, Not the movie you want to wake up in. Pete Drummond says kikiS Delivery Service.

Remind me not to board the blimp. Yeah, spoiler alert, bad thing happens with the blimp? All right, Well, but she saves the day. God. Sorry, that movie is like thirty years old. It's fair. I'd say that's like from the eighties, I believe. I don't think. Why don't I know that movie? Oh you haven't watched kikiS with your daughter?

She'll love it. She's a really badass, powerful young woman character. Um. And it's a difference a spin on the witch trope, where like witches aren't bad at all, and there's some bad ones, but she's like a good witch who's kind of who's like kind of does this sort of pilgrimage that they do when they leave the house and kind of go out into the world, and it's sort of a coming of age thing. I'm all over peak Mia Zaki, and there's a cat but talks. Your daughter will flip.

It's lovely. Uh well, I'm done with me Zaki now, so I'm all over. Let me see here. Emily Newton says, I tell the old man to eat a dick, pack my bags and take the kid back to Boulder before the snow starts. I thought I heard little girls playing in the hall last night. I must be going nuts. Oh the Shining I told the old man to eat

a dick. Is that a line of the Shining? It's not a line, oh but okay, But the way that was said with such confidence, it sounded like it was like a quote or something, you know, like it doesn't want Emily is in the Shining as Shelley Daval and saying screw you. Uh Jack Nicholson, I'm getting out of here. I'm packing my bags and I'm taking my kid out of here before the snowstorm. Only it's more like, that's my Shelley DeVault in that movie. She's got a lot

of shrieking. She seems genuinely horrified. She was she was hanging on by a thread, because that's what it takes. I know. God, you think with things like unions there would be rules for like how many takes you have to do, how much you can how much you can abuse an actor. I mean, I know that's why they make the big bucks. But also like you hear like b York and Large von Trier, like there was real psychological abuse going on there, you know, not not cool

tough stuff. Uh. Chris Clifford says off to fight Schmidt at the Hydra base out Schmidt, Yeah about Schmidt and Hydra World Hale Hydra No is that way? So that's um from one of the movies or is that one of the new shows Schmidt. I don't know. I don't know the Hydra stuff very well. Hayle Hydronal. That's all you need to know. Did you watch any of the knew, uh, the Winter Soldier and the Falcon thing? Not yet? You know.

I watched the first couple of one divisions a while ago and then stopped and then Emily said she wanted to watch it, so we're just waiting for a window. And then, uh, highly recommend and yeah, the one division was one of my favorite marvel Ee things. I think it's very creative and interesting. Gotta do it, Gotta do it. Martin Kidd just watched ray it in the Last Dragon.

Guess I'm getting turned to stone. That sounds like a spoiler. Dude, Ruby pre ordered that for thirty dollars by accident or not by accident, but she very much purposely did it. But she doesn't understand that stuff, and so I asked her to refund. That's how much it is to watch it. I thought, yeah, it is. The Early Bird is like thirty bucks, and I was like, dude, I didn't realize that I could set it up to where she can't

do that. So now I've done that. But I got a beef with itune in Disney Plus because I asked for a refund. And one of the reasons that on the dropdown is like child purchased it by you know, without permission, and so that's what I picked, and they denied it. And then I appealed it and wrote out my case and they denied it again. They kept my thirty dollars. Noel so mad at them. I guess their argument, did they did they respond to your appeal with the

verbal rebuttal. No, they just said no, yeah, faceless corp corporate now in their infinite wisdom. I mean, I guess their argument would be like, well, we make these uh safeguards available and you should have known and put them in place. But I argue, they don't make them obvious and you have to kind of dig deep to find them or be faced with a situation where you then have to be like, oh shoot, I better figure out, you know, if this is an option. So I was

none too pleased. I don't I don't doubt it, Chuck, I don't doubt it. I've I've I've encourage your wrath. I told Ruby, I said, is coming out of your future allowance? When I'm gonna remind you when you're tin or when? When when do kids start getting allowances? H? Yeah? Well it it does not quite manifest itself that way. I know I make her doucheh it, but I'm constantly crediting and debiting her, and this invisible ledger exists somewhere in my head. Okay, that's fair. Now, she's very helpful.

She helps me with cleaning and dishes and all kinds of stuff she earns her keep. Yeah, Ruben's got a couple of little chores. She feeds the dogs every day twice a day. And then we're trying to get her to start picking up after herself a little bit, because you know, kids, they just that concept is completely lost on them, totally. Stuff is just where you drop it.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And apparently, you know, the therapy community says it's okay, let your kid have a messy room because it gives them like ownership over their space. And then, you know, and I found that to be the case, and she gradually has turned her room into sort of a reflection of her personality. And like the fact that she, you know, can make it be messy

a little bit is empowering and I'm into that. But then there could come a point while going there, I'll be like, yo, you gotta go, we gotta do something about this. No. I mean, Ruby's room is usually pretty messy, but she will. She will also clean it without being asked sometimes and then come and get us and say, come and look at my room. So like little things like that are great. I love that. By the way,

breaking news. I know this is going to be late when it comes out, but the danger of and just posted that it's old pal Mike Sam's birthday, So I know this is gonna come out a week I'm sorry, not even that late next Monday. But here today on Wednesday, the thirty one of March. Mike, happy birthday, my friend, happy birthday. Indeed. Um wait, and we already talked about this. Who else had a birthday? Someone else had a birthday.

My good buddy Harry who's visiting. It's his birthday coming up on April fourth, So when this comes out, he should be like seventy years old or something. He's like literally my old friend. I've known him for many years, since I was about thirteen. Us to run a record store in my hometown. Um, and I think he's uh, I think he's pushing sixty five. But not it doesn't seem a day over forty. My brother's birthday is uh, geez Friday, amazing. Yeah, no aprip fools jokes this year. No, oh,

I know we don't. We don't have an Apri Pol's episode. Unfortunate that the yeah people people don't like to be tricked to be tricked. Alright, Uh, let's wrap this up with stream this because I have quite a few things here. Uh still barreling through six ft under enough said six Season five, Season three same, We're probably right around the same time, Arthur, the same, right there, right there, right there with you. I love him and I almost forgot that he was in it for a minute. Oh man.

This season season three so painful because Nate and Lisa are married, and it's just the thing happens in season three. Isn't that kind of where the thing begins? Well yeah, but just their marriage is just so painful because they're just they shouldn't be married. It's not right, and he's trying to be this thing that he's not, and it's just Nate's gotta be Nate. Man, it was, It's very painful.

Now I've seen I've yeah for sure, and then something god yeah anyway, Uh no, I watched the Coming to America sequel finally, Oh dish, my friend, I've read some hot takes on that one. Then I kind of have a feeling I know where you're gonna go. Well, here's my hot take is I was in the perfect mood for it. Emily and I were, and we really enjoyed it. Uh. It was a very very lazy remake, the worst kind of remake where you literally just do the same jokes.

But you know what, it was a nostalgia bomb. They brought back so much like they went all the way, which I really appreciate. If they would have done it halfway and just brought back a few of the characters, it would have been super lame. But they went. They really dug deep and went all the way with the nostalgia bomb. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very lazy. I never want to see it again, but I really had a good time watching it, and I think it

had plenty of funny moments. So that's my take. Okay, got it. I was almost about to click it the other day because I was looking for a feel good thing, but I think I watched something else instead. I can't remember what it was. Uh. And then the other two things I'm gonna mention Nolan because we can chat about them, I think is I did watch the High Score documentary series on your recommendation, just finished it last night, and I watched the Last Blockbuster documentary that's next for me.

I do want to watch that because I obviously am a total blockbuster kid. But what did you think of High Score? Well, I'm gonna put both of them in the same bucket because they're kind of similar. They were both the nostalgia bombs as well. I really enjoyed both

of them. But I will say this, they fit into this kind of category of these newer kind of streaming service documentary series that are it's almost like, uh, this sounds like I'm I'm being too hard on it, but um for things that I enjoyed, but it's almost like the the v H one. I love the eighties documentary style,

you know, I can see that. I will say this though, I was expecting much more of that with the High Score thing, but they really they dug a little deeper in places like there's a whole episode about um like this l g B t Q gay Blade. Yeah, so I never knew about it. And and like one thing somebody pointed out to me is there's um one of the interview subjects who is a trans woman, and they don't make a big thing of it, like it's some

token like look at us being so woke. It just comes up organically because she brings it up very you know, just like matter of factly, and and any in in a in a less capable hands, I think that would have been much more of like a trotting out there token trans person. But I thought they handled it with a lot of care and respect and the whole thing. I thought they did a good job. I actually wished it would have gone on. I was hoping it was going to get more into like Minecraft, and there could

have been modern things. Sure, it could have been twice as long. Probably, Um I I enjoyed it. I enjoyed them both. I think they were both a little corny at times, um, but I did enjoy them both. I'll just say that last Blockbuster was was good. But also there there's a tone and I think the high score, narrator, you know, it was it's just, you know, it's not I guess it's a documentary, but it's not like serious documentary. You know. I'm with you, But I but I but

I was like cream exactly. But that's just what I need now. It's probably entertained, and I found myself clicking to the next one and the next one, the next one. To me, that's a success, you know, totally, and you know it spent it was my childhood basically through college, uh, from Pong to Mortal Kombat basically well, and then I

guess the First person Shooters came after that. That was the last episode, right, it really was, and then they sort of like did the big like and then everything else, you know, um, but oh, the the one that I thought was interesting was when it gets into like the senate hearings around that like full motion video game called

night Trap. It never heard of the game. It looked crazy, and it just goes to show how, you know, when there are these like moral panics, it almost always results from ignorance and laziness, where they clearly, if they looked at the whole game, they realized nobody's getting triggered to murder co eds by this, and the story about how they kept trying to dump it down and make it less and less and less offensive and scary, and they pick this one scene where there's this stupid vampire thing

with like looks like one of those grabber claw things used to get you know, and it just looks ridiculous and they're like clutching their pearls, acting like it's corrupting the children, which is just assert for a game that

no one played. Yeah, it's funny that, you know, the um all the stuff that's happening lately with the cancel culture and that stuff that Ted Cruz shared about the article we shared about how gen x has to save us from cancel culture because we're in the middle of the millennials and the boomers, and the boomers are saying gen X help us out from cancel culture, and so all these memes are going around that are just fucking fantastic.

Emily and I've been dying as gen xer is like basically saying screw you boomers, like you were the cancel culture. You tried to cancel heavy metal music and video games and you know, burn books like so fuck you. And all the memes were great, like for every uh one of them was for for every boomer out there that hates millennials and millennials that hates boomers. Remember there's a gen Xer that hates you both absolutely. And the gen xers are scary. They freaked me out, man, and the

best possible way. When I say scariest, I mean they're scary smart, and they're scary, like you know, woke, and it's they're gonna fucking own the world in a really interesting way and shape it. You know. I feel good about gen X. Yeah, that was pretty funny. We were the Letchkey kids. Man, our parents weren't watching. Uh oh no, sorry, gen Z is who I'm talking about. It's cool too, But gen Z who is the new kind of gen X? Yeah?

I think so. But like her and her type, like, they just have a certain awareness and they've they're living through very bleak times and they're having to kind of adapt, and I think it's just gonna give them some serious power. I thought you were miss speaking because gen X were the ferres Bueller's were very mean. That's what I wasn't speaking. Thank you, Chuck. Um uh So, have you've been streaming anything? Nol lots? Yeah? What did I stream? I stremped the

uh stremped. I'm gonna I'm gonna sticking with it. The Snyder cut, which I thought was fine, Way too much SloMo, a little too long, but he's it's good. It tells a story. Well. I think Ben Afflecks Batman looks ridiculous. He's all boxy and like fat Batman and just like he always looks confused, like he's walked into He's like he's like lost John Travolta every time he walked into the scene. Kind of Um, I really really dig this

anime series called Doro Hidoro that's on Netflix. That's like, uh, there was really psychedelic kind of like almost like if if um uh. Alejandro Jordanowski made an anime with like you know, uh, the guy that did a Kira or something. Um, it's very very trippy. It's this world inhabited by sorcerers and bounty hunters, and the sorcerers all have these kind of superpowers single power, like but of them's powers to turn people into mushrooms and he then eats them. It's it.

It gets violent, and it's definitely got some spooky qualities, but it always reels it in with some humor. And there's also it's all about food. All the characters are always hungry and they're always making these elaborate like Japanese dishes like noodles and and uh geoza and things like that, and so there's all these really crazy beauty shots of food, which is also a thing in Miyazaki films um but highly recommend that. What else? Yeah, one division. I loved

finish that really really loved it. Thought it was really warm, heartfelt and and and creative and just like really made me feel the fields. Yeah, I gotta do. It's all. That's all I got for now, all right. No, Well, let's wrap it up and spank it on the bottom and get this one out the door, out of the oven and onto the table and onto the plates where people can consume it and then poop it out. Wow. Wow, Chuck, that was a whole whole imagistic trajectory. You journey took
