Mini Crush #176

I done to you? What have I done to offend you? At you? I've seen you a couple of times, seen each other, not like this is the first time I've seen you in that long. It's weird, though, the pomp and circumstances, sitting around this table, staring at each other with these microphones. It feels different for someone, it does. I just don't want to spill this bong water Oka, Chuck, that's a coffee thermis. It's been a while I have on my list catch up with Noel? Have you I haven't.

I still haven't been to the movie theater. I went to go. I think a couple of weeks ago when a Quiet Place two came out that's one I should go to, and um, just life got in the way. So I'm trying. I'm gonna try and get out there this week. But a lot of Marjal matinees yet. Yeah. I went with my kid to see an anime movie called Demon Slayer. The movie takes place on a train.

It was cool. Um, it was weird. They didn't book middle seats like officially, but this big crew just came in and sat right next to us and I was just kind of like, what are you doing? They were not and they thought better of it before I had to say anything because I was like, I'm not I don't like confrontation. Um, but I will confront when confronted, Chuck, I will. But it was cool. It was a good experience. Um. I think it's just gonna get more and more normal. Um,

as you know, time goes on. What's the deal with the matinees. Are they just like they can't It must be like a lot of restaurants. I heard a thing on NPR like they're not open for lunch because they can't afford to hire a lunch crew. Yet you know, they got and the Matinees are my jam. Yeah, Mattine's are cool. It's a nol. Ruby is in drama camp this week. They do they have a big thing they're working towards, like a like a like a play or

a scene or something they do. They sent over the script um and it's about this grandmother who has superpowers because she eats vegetables and then there are vegetables playing roles, and um, she got cast I think kind of in the lead part as the grand kid. And I'm I have to like check out because I don't think there's any way that she can memorize lines like she just

the focus isn't there at almost elf No. And we went over with her last night some and had her to sort of repeat the lines that Emily was doing for her and I was doing the other parts. But I have to check out emotionally and just be like it doesn't matter. I don't care. I don't need her to quote unquote succeed and that's sure. I just need her to succeed in having a good, fun, good experience, otherwise it could taint drama for her for the rest of her life. Yeah, but it's pretty cute and fun.

I think I've seen the Bunuel version of this act if I'm not mistaken. So what are the vegetables in question? Is it like there's a tomato, there's a cabbage, there's some black berries, um, you know. For inclusivity, I think there's corn. Diversity is the word I was looking for. She wanted to be corn because she loves corn on the cob more than anything else. Who doesn't. And we had to sort of tell it where you're like, listen, kid, o, you gotta you can't go in there with your mind

to set on one part. And I said, you know, even if you never go on to even be interested in acting, you only do this. You can't go in there just wanting only to be the corn, because if you don't get the corn, you guys still got to do a good job being whatever they cast you as. I mean, that's a lesson. Even like the most seasoned A list actors have to leave, they'll go out put themselves out there for this role. They got to act, and then they are tour director just like you know,

I don't think this is a Brad Pitt part. And they give it to some like new news that someone might have said it Chuck, they give it to some up and comers instead of Brad Pit and so well, well, I mean, honestly, I think I just read that the Devil Wears product was not initially supposed to be in Hathaway at all, but that Meryl Streep saw her in um whatever it was that sho oh broke back Mountain and was like, it's got to be this young lady.

But all these A listers were way ahead of her and the running for that, so it can happen Hathaway and it is pretty great. Yeah, yeah, big fan, So Drama Camp concludes, Um, and she's just gay, man. It's you know how you know you've got a daughter and who actually sitting right outside the round, um find her way back? Yeah, she's okay. It's uh. With COVID there, you can't go in the room with him to drop

them off or anything. And it's like literally someone will meet you on the sidewalk and walk your kid in, like someone your kid has never met, to walk you into this room with a bunch of people they've never met, and like that can go a lot of way ways for kids from scared to refusal. And she was just like she was out of there and happy, and that's just I don't know, there's something about that. She's so

game and that just makes me so happy. Not that different from like a carpool pickup line at a school situation. But she's never done right, that's exactly, you know, so she's not used to them yet. Well that's awesome, man, I mean, but it felt great Senator in there, and she's having a really fun time so far. I think different endorphins are firing from like her little tiny backyard school that we did this year. We're so grateful for it. But I think if you do the same thing over

and over and over, like your brain gets a little stale. Atrophies. In the last couple of weeks were kind of tough. I think they're even uh in the idyllic scene, and so she's just like lighting up now with all these new brain waves firing off. Yeah, it pretty great. It's it's it's yeah totally, and and it's need how also summer especially, God, I mean, this is really is the

summer right to make the magic happen. You know, It's been like a year plus of like stagnation and dread and paranoia, and now it's like Oh my god, all of a sudden, it's like a whole new magical world out there in summer. Is you know infamously in movies, especially the time where you kind of come out of your shell and like, you know, discover your your true self or whatever. And I think that's happening for a lot of people. Yeah, it's especially kids. Um, definitely happening

for my kid. I just booked my first trip NL. Nice are you going? Uh? Emily and I in August are going to Sonoma cool to Wine Country to see a Nico case uh with opening act a c Newman at a winery that's awesome outdoor show to winery. And so we're doing a night San Francisco, then a few days in Wine Country and seeing some live music. I wonder if we'll do like some duets because I love you know, The New Pornographers is one of my favorite.

We'd like to think they would do a thing or two together up and do something from twin Cinema that bess Ian one of my favorite. Right, it would be weird if they didn't. I think so too. But I thought it was cool that she took him on the cool because his solo stuff is great too. He's yeah, he's really good, and I guess she's technically more famous than him at this point, right, was that kind of the deal. Yeah, he's the opener there. Yeah, yeah, he's great, man.

He's I got tickets to Shaky Knees, which is our local in Atlanta. Yeah, I got him. He's headlining. Well, Stevie Nicks is headlining one night, which is pretty tight. And then the Strokes are doing one and they're fun live band and run the Jewels local hometown hero hip hop duo. And then I mean, yeah it's killer my kids and lp um and then a bunch of great you know below the fold below the big the big text acts Yeah, yeah, um that I like, I'm trying

to think of some big ones. Um. Nothing, nothing's popping off right now because I'm but you're gonna get stuff on the spot. I'm going, My me and my girlfriend are going, and I think my ex wife what I've told you, we're very tight as going, um, and I think we're all probably gonna hang. And I think Eden is going to come for the Strokes day. Gonna get her a day passed to go to the Strokes. That because she is dude, all of a sudden, like the Strokes,

all of a sudden, She's just got this like music taste. Yeah, and it's like turning me onto cool stuff. And it's like buying Vinyl and I'm like, when where did this come from? I love it? Um really into Weezer all of a sudden. She bought the Blue album and that's such a classic and nostalgic album for me. So really vibing on music together lately, which has been exciting. That's great. I can't wait for that stuff too. It's a lot of fun. Get out of the let's listen to Frozen

for the fiftieth time sort of years. I know it, dude, I'm like Frozen. I like Frozen. You can only do so much. Well, that's great, man, I certainly can't wait to go. I've got tickets for like five or six concerts that I'm really just excited here in Atlanta. Yeah, they're all all here. I mean the Roger Waterson got pushed the next year. But I'm going to see Akabill River, I'm going to see Wilco and Slater Kenny at Chastain. I feel like there's one more. Oh. I bought Pat

Noswalt tickets for a comedy night. Nice. I think there was one of their music show. But there's a new venue that's just about to open up called the Eastern that's over there, and Cabbage Town is what they call you. They're recording us. Really cool. It looks great. Yeah, they wanted to be the first podcast. You should, man, it looks really great. Great like early line up, like, um, I'm trying to think Big Boys opening it up, Big boys opening it up, and then you've got Big Thief,

another Big all the bigs are going to be there. Um. Then there's Mr Big Yeah exactly, Um oh Thundercat. Thundercat, the amazing multi instrumentalist Bassis too plays with Kindrick Lamar and all those guys with his solo records. I think you'd like them. They're like very almost lounge e kind of like Michael McDonald guests on one of the songs,

like as a guest work. Very cool. But yeah, excited about live music again, just very very can't wait, it's been been too long, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait? All right now? We got one but one segment and then we're gonna do a little stream this. I saw this on the Crushers page the other day. And this is from David Mills, one of our beloved crushers, and he has a coffee mug steaming by his names. That

means the conversation starter conversations. Sorry, I guess what that means because he put this post that kind of lit up and think they've got many many answers to this question. Is there a movie or TV actor that you just don't understand how they could be as popular as they are? I would have loved it if you had just left it. It It just don't understand likes because he doesn't speak well, didn't They don't enunciates. Yeah, I just can't understand. Uh,

he said, for for um, David, it's Tony Danz. Never understood the appeal for Tony Danze. He only kind of did Who's the Boss? Right? Oh? He was in taxi before that? Oh yeah, but I mean he's just kind of like that New York Jamo, you know, like that's kind of what he is. Mama Luke, Yeah, told me closer Tony Danza. Uh, Josh Owen says Julia Robert. She just irks me. Fortunately, the only movie she's in that I watch on the regular is steel Magnolias, and I

can tolerate her in that. I don't know about that. These are big hot takes. Well, that's sort of what this category is designed to think the most is designed to do shock and awe. I know you like Julia. I mean we talked about pretty Woman how it definitely is a little bit dated, but she's kind of the original manic pixie dream girl in that where she sort of makes him changes life and like embrace randomness and you know, open to new experiences or whatever this is.

I'm having a hard time reading this one. Tyler Burne says John c Riley. Oh, I mean he's just kind of great. And someone said, what is it about him that turns you off? I'm just curious, and Tyler said, I'm not too sure to be honest. Yeah, I mean, you know, if you don't like someone, you don't like someone. But I mean he's odd. I'll give you that. He's got an odd look he plays. He's kind of off the wall oddball characters. Maybe he just rubs him the

wrong way or something. You know, I can see them. Nicole Marie says, Toby Maguire, he's got a pretty punchable face. I like him. I like him fine, but as have been around much lately? Has he? He really hasn't. What's he been in lately? I don't know. He's maybe started a new pussy posse and he's just rolling around with them. You know, that makes him pretty unlikable. Actually, did you remember that David Blaine was also in the Puss real life stuff? Yeah, it was him and DiCaprio. Uh, what's

his name, Lucas Hoss I think was his name? Yeah, And I feel like that the guy from Entourage, it really was the manager totally was him. Was in there? Wait before anybody even knew who then that guy was like, how was he in the Pussy? I heard that the other day or not, I mean recently, and I was like, really, it's weird. Wayne Kat's is Jillian Anderson whispering almost every line of dialogue to Ed Gravitas is not acting? Oh okay, boy, so many hot takes. Although earl pal Caroline guest and

says it almost ruined Hannibal for me. I know she's perfectly capable of speaking at a normal volume. It's just such a weird acting choice. She's the therapist, right, I guess so, I mean, wait, am I thinking the wrong person? This? Or this is X files? Right? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? For sure? Does she whisper lines a lot? I don't think so much in X Files. I think more and maybe some of her other roles, you know where she actually plays British? She is British. I didn't make it. Well, she's sort

of is she British? Though? I think the deal is she lived in England or something, or maybe it was from there. But like sometimes it's a very American accent and sometimes it gets made fun of because shows into her British accent, sort of like Madonna after being married to guy Richie for a year. So far Madonna got all handle her. Can I handle that? Come on, Madonna, we know who you are. She's a material girl. Greta Mansfield says Andy dick ug. I don't know. I mean

I think a lot. I think a lot of people don't like anti technie. Come on, that's sort of his thing. Yeah, not be likable. I'm sure. Surprise there's no Tom Green's on here. Surprised no one's railing on it. We'll see the day is young. Um, Jeremy Fuller says, even his name as a deterrent, and David Mills chimes in and says, does any does anyone like him? Apparently Joe Rogan does, is what Doug Reid says. I didn't know that they were vals, Okay. I based most of my life choices

on things Joe Rogan likes. Dan Maynard says Melissa McCarthy. I know I'm in the minority thinking this, but good lord, she just frustrates me, all right, that's honest an. I feel like she's been jumping the shark a little bit lately. She's been doing a little too much like that superhero when she did with Octavia Spencer. Yeah, I think their best season. Yeah, it did not look good and she might have fallen into that trap of like all of a sudden super hot and just did too much, too much,

little less, not too discerning. Did you see that drama that she did. It's called um can you ever forgive me? Where she like forges the letters or whatever? I did not. It's her and Richard E. Grant, who was in with Nail and I. I saw the trailers. Awesome. He is just excellent. I wanted to do more stuff like that, but she's doing all this real broad screwball comedy, and I'm like, okay, oh, can you please just do something

more like that? Yeah, one for them, one for her is should be the approach if we were her manager. You know, we have really good advice for Melissa call Us. By the way, Dan Maynard, I've been pronouncing it wrong. I've been saying Maynard because I'm American, he pointed out very sweetly. It's rhymes of card. Sounds like card. Is he is he a brit No. I think Dan's Australian because he's he did our metal. Uh, that's Dan. I knew, Yeah,

I knew that. But Dan was very sweet. He sent, uh, he sent Ruby a gift from Australia because he knows she loves Bluey and he's in here a couple of blue books and blue stickers and I just got them yesterday. And it was very very sweet, so sweet, really lovely guy. We we He actually reached out to me to make sure I was okay with him doing the metal cover of the theme, because he knew I had composed it.

I know. That's when we were really very kind. And while I'm talking about this stuff and how great the Crushers are are very own. Tanya Collette, one of our great beloved crushers, had surgery hysterected me a couple of days ago. As we record this, this will come out a little bit later. But um, she's doing great and everyone. I didn't know what was happening, or I would have chipped in, but people chipped in and center, like I think in edible arrangement, some flowers and it's just it's

just the best man, such good people. We're thinking about Tanya for sure. For sure. No, I think it's had Tonia. I had a lovely Crusher encounter. Oh, it's a it's a person who's really become a good, true friend. Honestly, we've been kind of messaging on and off online for a couple of years. Christie Caroline Um it was a regular crusher And she passed through Atlanta and on a trip. She's really into wildlife preservation, Uh, specifically with apes. Um

or Yeah, apes, I think that's right. Uh. And she was going to a ape the Habitat in Florida, Yeah, and ended up passing through here. Uh. And we hung out and a ton of the crew, a lot of work folks, Lauren and Ben and she met a lot of the when I dipped in ship. I don't know why I didn't think it was a very like we. I wasn't sure what we were gonna do. It was you don't really come out, Chuck. I should have asked.

I'm sorry, Well, uh I always ask, but with my schedule and my kid, it's like, that's what I will do now for me, you never know if I can, I would love anyway. We'll talk about that later. But yeah, it was really fun. She mat a handful of of the other you know. It's like we have a group that goes out every Friday night like work people, and uh god, you are invited. Um and and it was really great. We just like we hung out. I had

a few beers. Um. I maybe had a few too many beers and ended up leaving my car and she very kindly gave me a lift home and we had nice conversations on my porch and then she took off and was back to St. Louis the next great were you like? What is it about apes? Anyway? Apes? Right now? We had a nice what do they got, Chuck? I am a cuddly, friendly drunk. I know. As it turns out, I've seen you with a couple in your in your belly,

Becca Loo, says Amy Schumer. She's a little self. I could see how people don't like her, maybe entitled seeing me. I don't know. Maybe it's just because if her father, maybe that's what bugs me. Chuck Oh wait, no, oh yeah, that's not her dad, Chuck Schumer, Senator, Yeah, bro wait have you told me that before? I don't think so. It's just the thing that's that's the truth. I don't believe you. Okay, I'm looking at up. Let's see what the internet has to say about relatives. He's a cousin. No,

it says cousin, cousin. I could have store you with her. Yeah, okay, okay, well fair enough, well related though very related. So you don't like her because obstruction? No, no, no, no no, I'm just saying she's maybe it's this idea, this notion that she comes from, you know, blue blood, blue blood, old money royalty or got. I think she's fine. She been in movies. Is she really just do her character TV show? Yeah?

I mean she did that, um that one really funny movie with Yeah that was funny, hater, that was really good. Quite enjoyed. That's one of my favorite jokes in a movie the last few years, when she's talking to hater who works with doctors without borders and she keeps calling it doctors with borders. I always thought that was really funny. Lote, Jason, this is funny, Jason Byfield said, my joke from earlier,

he said, Tony dan Danza seems okay. Elton John wants to hold them closer, so it can't be all bad, No, Jenny gernan Keller says Claire Danes. I like her too, She's great. I have a big crush on her. I was about to say, and that was like age appropriate. No, she was older than me. I think when I was watching My so called life, I was probably in like middle school. I guess that had a big crush on her. Draft Yeah, I still do. I think I was so mad at Jordan Catalano. He treated her like trash. I know,

never forgave Jared Letto. Also, it turns out Jared Letto kind of a real life Jordan Catalano. I'm weal confused now what's happening with the lights out here? They keep going off. It's interesting. I think they're on a timer or something weird. Aaron Amoro scene says, Steve Martin baffles me. I just don't get how seemingly the entire world thinks he's hilarious. He always plays an annoying, pompous jerk. Interesting. He's created a lot of back talk, backchat, what's what's

your what's your Steve Martin perspective. I think he's great, not like Steve Martin. I mean I never thought he was. He wasn't the most drop dead l O L guy for me as as a stand up but I certainly loved Xan and Three Amigos, and I think his his real acting is is really great. He was great in Grand Canyon and what was the the one he did the drama he did with was it Spanish Prisoner? No, that wasn't him the Spanish Prisoner? Anythink I don't know that.

Here's David Mamma. Here's a hot take for you, Chuck. I think he's a better banjo player than he's a comedian. He's a great banjo player, Um, he really and he's like one of the greats, like one of the great living banjo players. I think doesn't get enough credit for that. What is it called the Steep Canyon Rangers or something like that as the name of his group. Yeah, I'd like to see him do his his on stage thing. Like Steve Martin. He's got a masterclass on comedy. Oh

does he you know those videos? Yeah? Yeah, Well, apparently Aaron doesn't think that Steve Martin should be teaching that class. I told you I think one time that he used to and I'm sure still does have the the card he gives people in lieu of like a photograph or selfier and autograph that says this is a card certified as that. I had a genuine personal interaction with Steve Martin and found him to be like charming and funny and handsome or something. He would like give that to people.

He's what you'd call very dry. I think his humor right, wouldn't you say, yeah, he's dry, But yet he's weirdly universally appealing. I think it's because he's kind of like kind of middle of the road a little bit, you know, and always Kinna stayed out of the limelight. You've never heard a lot about Steve Martin. Paul scron Sky, sorry about butchering that leaned into that says Beyonce. She's been a movie so Ac Counts and Jack Black, Oh breaking

my heart? What what? What was Beyonce? Well, she was in dream Girls, but sure, Jeremy Fullers's Parker Posey. Oh, I knew someone in college who briefly lived in New York City and worked in a small bookstore. Posey came in one day and made some purchase, but didn't per just Is. But seemed to Mifft that this acquaintance of mine didn't have a bigger reaction to Parker Posey choosing to come into this bookstore and grace everyone with her

presence sounds like this person is holding the grudge. I take those stories of the grain assault, you know what I mean? Yeah, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy's friend or Jeremy's acquaintance. And how do you how do you even read that on somebody like you didn't get enough reaction? You know? She? How do you? I don't understand what that would feel like. Yeah, this is all this sounds very happy. I think Parker Posey is a treasure, although probably capable of being a

bit of a pill. But you know what, on a bad day, we all are yah um, Curtis King says, any actor with the last named Franco, all right, I guess James. Or here's the other one, el Roy Franco. That's him, Zach Poynter. When a roll Pal says Seth Rogan, Oh, I love Seth Rogue too. I heard it. He was on Fresh Air recently, you talking this memoir that he just came out with, and I was listening to him talk for like twenty minutes before I realized it was him. I thought it was an old seasoned man and he

wasn't it. Seth Rogan's his voice is very and he laughs a lot, and he's just a delight. I really, I think he's great. He grew up in it's really progressive like family, like they like hung out on this like lesbian commune, and he has all these great stories like growing up with its like family, and I think in in l A or at least okay maybe so

yeah that makes Canadian, that makes sense. But it was just like like like very like almost comically progressive, you know what I mean, like his parents and stuff, and it was really neat hearing him talk about him. Yeah, I think he's awesome. That's him. That's him after, you know, hitting a massive bomb. Diana Ratlo when her old friend says, I do not care for Julianne Moore, I don't get it. He's are all just breaking my heart. The Dane droving

Gail Kunts Amy Poehler. Yeah, I said it. I don't care. Ah. Just when kuns is pulling me in, she'll say something like this. All of these are like, you know, people, It's it's like someone saying they don't like the Beatles or something. You know, It's just like it's they're like, yeah, how do you know? Okay, anyway, let's talk. We don't have to go there. But it's it's like something is so popular and you it just doesn't connect with you, and you feel like the odd person out. So I

think that's what these reactions are here. You know, I don't think they hate the person. They're just like it just doesn't do it for me, and I feel like everyone thinks I'm crazy. But I have opinions too. Yeah, you know, with Josh and the Beatles, he has very very interesting and specific music tastes in surprising like he wouldn't give two ships about like the Beatles of the Rolling Stones Ah, it's interesting to talk to music. I can I never know what he's gonna, what's gonna come

out of his mouth with music? Interesting? Yeah, it is really And I don't know that we've ever vibed on music in particular, but now I'm going to try next time I see him. Yeah, it's and and with movies, he has really just sort of interesting tasting And I'm not being magnanimous. I think it's genuinely it's sort of baffling, right, So some of the stuff he loves and hates is so baffling to me. But it's like, yeah, well that's

that's who he likes and loves. It's really interesting. Let me see here, David Smith says Adam Sandler, and of his post Eve rolls. I mean, sure, I think that's a pretty weirdly universal opinion. And yet he's just so popular and just makes movie movie for Netflix. But the end of Punch Trunk Love isn't a fucking insanely great Yeah, and Uncut gems like he's capable. Michelle Kendricks is Mark Wahlberg. I don't get it, Like I'm like marky Mark, how

do you feel about the Funky Bunch? I could take him, relieve him. Not funky enough for me. Uh, Steve Carrell. This is from Duffy Onuns and Steve Carrell in any comedy. He's a good dramatic actor, just not that funny to me. That is a hot take, the hottest of takes. Look like, who does he look like? Which one does he? Steve Carell's from the Office. That's Steve Correll. Yes, the fucking David's.

Brent Michael mcgree says it probably won't be popular. But Maggie Jillen Hall, I feel like every role of here and she's just overacting. It takes me out of the movie, makes me feel bad because she seems like an all around good person. I like Mag's I like all those Jillen Halls. And Barry says Keanu, he looks nice, but he's never been able to act. Oh my god, I was just watching a thing on Dracula, Bram Stoker's Dracula. You know, he notoriously is horrible in that because he

can't really do a British accent. He can really only do a little out of his leaky but um interesting movie and the story behind that movie is really interesting too, because it was like what's his name? Coppola's company, and American Zoetrub was like going out of business. Basically, they needed a big hit, so they made Godfather three and then they made I Need to Receive I Need to rewatch that. I think I had some moments, right, It definitely had some moments. And it also started the whole

um monster resurgence, like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Wolf. You know, like a lot of those kind of classic None of those were very good, not really looking back. Matthias Larsen's his Colin Farrell. I just can't stand his dough eyed man child face. And I've never been moved, convinced or impressed by any of his acting. And he's freaking everywhere these days. I like him, all right, Yeah, he's yeah, he's fine. I mean like him, are in the in the right thing? I'm never where. I gotta go check

out that Colin Farrell movie. Colin Farrell not the same as Will Farrell, No different guy. And also Steve Correll. I don't know why I brain farted on him because I just think of him as Michael Scott h Colin Farrell, Is there are your sky yep? Yep, he's he's good. He's when he's good. I like in Bruge. Have you seen in Bruge? Great movie? I need to see that again. It's been a while. It holds up. Brian Jensen says Dustin Hoffman. I can just always see the strings when

he's acting, and I like that expression. Actually that's really good, like the puppet se strings. Yeah, I like that. I'm gonna steal that. Yeah, I mean the graduates just great. I think Marathon Man's great. Uh, some of his later stuff I could take re leave like Wag the Dogs cool. But he was also out at as a creep, so was he? Yeah? I didn't know that. Yeah he was. He had some pretty poor behavior with why he doesn't

act as much anymore, ladies. Uh maybe, I mean the last thing he was in, it was kind of when all this stuff was coming out, was the the No A Bomb Back thing, the what was it called the manco Witz Brothers or something like that diary or yeah about that wasn't I can't think of that. I know you're talking about. Um Okay, I guess I didn't realize that had happened. All right, and we're gonna finish up with Laura Allen with Jennifer Aniston. Huh, I love jen Aniston.

I think she's great. It was great in leprechn for funny and super talented. I get the joke noll she was in it, I know, but I mean, was she great? I think it's great about lepricn Um Lepricn in the Hood. Now, on the other hand, is that a real movie? All right? There's also Lepricn in Space. They went everywhere with the Alepricn franchise. There's probably no racist jokes in lepricn in the Hood. I would not imagine. I know that they put they kill the lepric spoiler alert they killed the

leprechn by putting four leaf clovers in his weed. Okay, I like that. I'm on board now all right, now, we're gonna finish up a little stream. This I watched on the recommendation of a crusher I can't remember who. It was nineteen seventy one on Apple TV. It is a I think eight part music slash history documentary about the year nine and the music that came out that year and what a pivotal year it was for music and some of the most classic Albums of All Time

came out in nineteen seventy one. Hit me with a few choice Well, um, going from memory here, Carol King's Tapestry, Joni Mitchell's Blue Madman Across the Water. Uh. Um, which stones was it? Um? I would have been exile in Main Street, I think. Uh. One of the big Bob Marley records. Um. Uh What's going On by Marvin Gay Uh. Aretha Franklin one of her biggest records. It was like it was really pretty staggering, and Elton John is in it talking. He was like it was He's like every

Tuesday at the record store, he said. Looking back, he said, there were three or four albums a week that came out that are now looked at as some of the most classic albums of all time. Well, it's such a pivotal time just like even just like socially and culturally, right because it's like, you know, Martin Luther King was dead. The civil rights movement obviously, you know, began in earnest

and then there it was continuing. But it was different because it was almost like the sixties were over, the hippies kind of lost, you know, and it was sort of a sad Time, but also hopeful time, um, you know of like hopefully moving forward. But it was hard and it was very dark in many ways, and so a lot of those records I think reflected that. But yeah, I hope it's amazing. Man, Janice Joplin's Pearl, It's Easy Time. Some of these I don't know, Like I don't know Tapestry.

I really need to listen. That would ask an album, like I know that you know the tunes and stuff, Um, I need to listen to them as albums. Looking now, am I gonna have to get Apple TV subscription? There's so many things I've been hearing that I really do want to see. I just resent having to get another Olive Carte subscription. Yeah, I mean I think it's pretty great. Als Cooper's uh love It to Death came out there.

He's playing chick Knees. Really, you know, that was the name of the band, and then he just took it over as his name. The name of the band was Alice Cooper and then he just sort of left those guys and became Alice Cooper's uh, and they were they were pretty great. They were a different, different kind of band like back then. Um, here's the deal with the documentary though, it was it was really good, but it was a little uh. I think the structure could have

been a little tighter. Seemed a little all over the place and a little unwieldy. I'm not sure, but in the end I would recommend it just get you know, you gotta like be ready to kind of hop all over the place. Very good though. And then I watched Almost Famous again the other night, the first time I've seen it in a long time. Holds up pretty well. A few sort of really cornball moments that Cameron Crow was just known for that I was kind of like,

come on, but I thought I held up well. Uh. And then I watched the first episode of Loki's Awesome. I liked it a lot. It's great. I thought it was pretty great. It's so funny. There's a scene put it in both of our necks. It's so good. There's a scene where it's it's like Owen Wilson, you know, spoilers maybe or no, no, not really at all. No, Owen Wilson at his Owen Wilson East. Yeah, he was awesome. He's perfectly cast, but he really is doing that thing

that he does. Yeah. Um, but he's walking with Loki. I'm not gonna this is not spoiler at all, but you see this incredible space town, this stuff really cool shot and it looks like the work of the illustrator and cartoonists Mobius. And then the guy's name is revealed to be Mobius. It was definitely a nod. Me and my friend were like nerves and we called the references. Yeah. I quite enjoyed Locky. I thought it was a lot of yeah, and then a character that I didn't like love.

I mean, I think you kind of want to hate Loki is sort of the point of Burke. But I was kinding. I mean, do I need a low key show? But it was. It was awesome. It's a different it was a different spin on it entirely than what I was expecting. I thought it was really fun. Yeah, I can't wait to see where it goes. These more our old TV shows are just fucking lights out. They're excellent. They're great. Like you you like The Winter Soldier. When I think better than I loved it, I need to

dig back in. I sort of lost me, but I need to buy your recommending. And of course both of us were head heels. One division things amazing. Uh, what you've been watching Mayor of Easttown? Bro Oh, you got on it. We watched about fifteen minutes of the first episode and had to stop. I think maybe we're gonna get back into it. But I think it was just like at the time, it seemed like there was a

lot of I mean at the time. This is only a month ago when it came out, but there are a couple of shows that were portrayed sort of people like uh, sort of that like sort of hillbilly cheek thing, and I felt like it was going down that road, and I was like, I don't know if I can watch this. It's heavy. Um, but it is a really really cool, twisty mystery and just a really great character

study kind of happening in parallel. So it's like Mayor, the character that that Kate Winslet for trays, is really going through it in life. Lots of crazy stuff happened to her, and um, she's also the detective, like the one detective in this small suburban Philly kind of bedroom community, I guess, but it's you know, it's kind of hillbilly's and it's kind of small and everybody knows everybody, which makes the murder mystery all the more interesting and complicated.

And is it a really great murder mystery? Yeah, yeah, alright, it's because we really love you. Never in a million years guess where it goes? All right, I gotta do it. I gotta put my foot in the water. The water

And what is it she does? She kind of got ragged on for doing like her owes or I can't remember, there's there's one like over enunciated a specific Philly accent, but like she kind of gotten yelled at for doing it because she's British, but like everyone's doing it and the whole show, and it seemed pretty legit to me. So I don't know. I think she kills it. I really really loved him. Did you finish it? Alright? So me like eight episodes? I think maybe seven episodes? What

else you got anything that one? Um? I recently, with a couple of buddies, rewatched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the first time in many years. I was just floored. I had forgotten a lot about it, and it kind of all came back to me and just reminded me, like it's just such an unflinchingly kind of honest look at like relationships and interpersonal anything, you know, and it's like how we're defined by our memories and when you start to lose those, you start to kind

of lose who you are. It started to make me think of, like, God, Alzheimer's must just be a waking nightmare, because it kind of is portraying what it's like when he starts to lose like his sense of this very important relationship. You know, you should listen to the episode I did on that with Pam our own. I love Pam. We had a really really great conversation about that movie, and um, I want to have Pam back. She won't come back on you come back on. I mean she's

always busy and that I just I think Pam's gray. Yeah, I don't know he's super super well, but everything counter I've had with her and also just for work, lovely, lovely person. I'll check that out. All right, Well, let's wrap this one up. I'm gonna watch Mayor of East Down, the Mayor of Easttown, Mayor of Easton, Mayor Mayor of Easttown of east Town. Oh. It's also directed by Craig Zobel, who you may be familiar with. He went to U

g A. I don't know that. He's like Buddies with a lot of the elephants, six people the like, like, um what else? He did a movie called Umu Compliance That was a very small movie about a young woman who kind of gets held hostage in the back of a fast food restaurants, like sort of a bottle moneu see for Zachariah this wait was the back of the restaurant? Was that like, uh, I think I know that movie. Dude, it's good. I'm looking it up real quick because if

it's the one I'm thinking of, it was pretty horrifying. Yeah, it's an unpleasant watch. But this strips Okay, it's great, but it's like, yeah, it's hard. But anyway. Heather Macintosh, who is an Athens alum for that whole music scene, has done a lot of scores for his his movies, and um, yeah, this is his first kind of big, big thing with you know, huge A list talent. Oh he did the Hunt. I didn't see that. That That was

supposed to be good. It was supposed to be good, but it got kind of canceled because of like, sure it was, isn't it about like Republicans and I think it's liberals hunting Republicans hunting. I mean, it's not meant to be taken seriously of course, not um. One other thing before we wrap up. I forgot because she's in this two Jeans Smart, you know, the actress Jean Smart lover. I want to see that new show she's that's awesome.

I watched the whole thing in it has it's great with the yeah hacks h alright, that's on my list too. I saw the trailer and Emily and I were like, that looks like it's right up party, very funny, it's very heartfelt. You know these people in the in the show, it's great. Has on the list and the Air of east Mayor of Eastwick and the witches. All right, goodbye everybody.
