Mini Crush #92

Did you drink LTTE's? I like a latte? The thing about the old machine, though, is it used like this powdered milk stuff, so they always tasted a little funny. Is that what that was? There wasn't a real milk if you if you opened it up, there was like a big column of like weird white powder. Sorry that I did demystify. I meanerience certainly didn't think there was a tiny cow in there. That would have been nice.

The cow would have to be in another room with the tubes kind of going off and you know, winding through the ceiling, and then there's this cow room. Tiny cow, you know. My one of my new cats. I don't know if I can call them new anymore, but I guess they're new. Is uh call him a cow kittie or the hole Stein because he's you know, black and white Holstein spotted Holstein. Is that a breed of cattle? Yeah?

I didn't know that Holstein cow? Huh yeah, man was the best milk cows, beef cows, kind of flavor of cow. You know what, what is a whole stein? I want to say a whole stein is a dairy cow. Mm hmm. Yeah, Holstein's beautiful. Look at those look at those babies. Oh yeah, of course, the classic it's a classic cow. Classic cow, like the cow from the cover of the Pink Floyd record or the cow from the Hate Chicken restaurant. I don't know that. Yeah, I eat more chicken. Yeah, hate chicken.

That'd be funny if that would be really an escalation. That's what. That's what my cat looks like. I love that. So what's your cat's name? Uh? While I have Luna and leave on which one is the whole stein? Uh? Levin is the whole stein. Luna is black, although she has a little white on her belly. Got it. And they are siblings and they're very very sweet and crazy. I've never had crazy cats like this. I've been dating a lovely lady for a while now, and she has Chihuahuas.

And I used to think they were creepy and and and you know, skittery and annoying. But hers are lovely. They're so steadily and sweet. They're like little cat dogs. Chihuahuas are easy to snark at until you meet a really good chihuahua. Yeah, my brother has a great Chihuahua named Wallace. And this dog is great. This one is Layla, and that mom dog mom goes all out, like dress him up in little costumes and little bows on. It's

just it's just a whole thing. It's oh, you know, and I can see, I see, I see what you're doing their chuck, I'm not doing anything. I see what you're doing. That what you're doing. If you want to dress up your little purse dogs, that's great. I think it's adorable. That's one. It may just be that I'm kind of smitten for this woman, so she can do no wrong in my eyes. So that's true. One day, you may hate those dogs as possible. Apparently they age,

they don't age well. They get real snaggle toothed and Drulie. When you know, Wallace is getting up there and he's got a an eye situation sort of like a bug eye situation on one side. But he's still a good little boy. Yeah, good to know what I have to look. I'm a big dog guy. But you know it's fine. They're all kinds of dogs and all kinds of people. Know. Agree, that's our motto around here. That is the movie crush motto. That is on our our Tartan you know our flag.

Our crests are Scottish Tartan. Indeed. So no, we're gonna start out this week with some uh social studies on social this movie. I watched The Ice Storm last night because Casey's coming in after this good one. For in fact, by the time this comes out, that show will already be out. One of my favorite movies, and it for it nails a time and place almost better than any other movie I've seen, which was seventies. Uh suburbs, northeastern

suburb but like a wooded suburb. It's not like it's not like cul de sac house after house, neighborhood these this sort of a rural area of Connecticut. But really just the time and place just nails it and very evocative for me, especially having grown up in that era. So as everyone, what what is your number one movie for nailing a specific time and place. That just nailed it more than any other movie. And I'll allow you to think, unless you've got one with a bullet, it's

just the most recent obvious one. I thought, Once upon a Time in Hollywood resolutely destroyed it. Yeah, and doing that, not that I remember, Okay, yeah, yeah, it just it just really felt transported there. You felt like you were occupying that world. Yes, you you can imagine that he nailed it perfectly. I would, Yes, I totally agree. So we're gonna start off with the old pal Mike Ireland says, uh, coming to America. He said, it really nails gritty eighties

New York. Wasn't it filmed in gritty eighties New York? Yes, these aren't people who have fooled people in like by filming in see what's upon the time in Hollywood? Was filmed in Hollywood? It was? It was, indeed, So I see what you mean. Noo. Know what I mean is like set in the time where when it was filmed. Yeah, I get your point, And you do have a point.

I mean, you can still look at it as an artifact, like as, oh, this this is a really good representation of this time, because you can also not nail it your own time and place. You know for sure what I get, I get what you mean. One I think that does a really good job of what we're talking about here is A Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Kitel, because it's like super gritty eighties New York to the point

where it almost looks like seventies New York. It's nineties even excuse me, it's like late eighties early nineties New York. But when you watch that movie, it feels like Taxi Driver, which is another good example. Yeah, I agreed, boy, Bad Lieutenant. I haven't seen that in a while. It's it's a it's a good one. It's it's it's super messed up, but it's like it does a really good job of

transporting you to that like totally New York world. Uh well, And in fact, on Mike Ireland's comments, Culver Matthew says, but it was made in the mid eighties in New York, and Mike said, when does it take place? Then? Ha ha, So Mike is uh, yeah, Mike's a good guy. It seems that way. He's laughing at himself. I like that Matt Cliffs is paper Moon. Peter Bogdanovitch totally nailed what I would imagine nineteen thirties rurals small town America would

feel like. Great movie. I have not seen it. Uh, it is really good. That has long been purported to be Josh Clark's favorite movie? Is that right? Yes? And one day he's going to come on here and talk about it. I hope. I hope so too. I mean, I hope he'll talk about paper Moon. You'll come on and talk about something eventually. Eventually, I'd like to get Josh in here on a round table too. That'd be fun. That would be Leona Stones as good Fellas and a

civil action with John Travola. Travola, he dropped the tea. Did you know that? Nol? Is that his new thing? John Travola a lawyer, And you go clear, you gotta drop a constant and whoa, he went clear on his head. He did to me, so gosh, he looks great. Yeah, But I have you seen this new movie he's in, this Fred Durst vehicle. Well, I haven't seen it that. I mean it was in the theater for like, I think they pulled it after a Friday release even well,

I think it's just patently offensive. Yeah, it looks pretty bad because he plays like sort of a mentally challenged individual. Right is that even okay to say? I don't even know what to say anymore, but yeah, it seems like he's really leaning into that and it's not good, really interesting. But he's bald now, which is where I was, and he looks great. He should be bald, and he should also not be a member of a cult that is abusive. Matthias Larsen old pal says, let the Right One In

pretty much nails the early in mid eighties of wintry Sweden. Yeah, I bet you Larsen with two s s would know it sounds very Swedish. I do not recall that feeling like a period piece at all. Maybe to me that just means it was effective and didn't like shove it down. But I have a feeling he was from Sweden and the era, so it's probably evocative for him. Charles Martin, Aaker's old pal, says, home Alone in Christmas vacation late eighties,

early nineties, middle class Midwestern style. Okay, Jeff Moore, Revolutionary Road wasn't alive in the nineteen fifties, but I think that film probably gets it right, both the good and the bad. Yeah, that is true. Uh. And then Culver Matthew, he's got to be in his bonnet because he says, people keep naming movies that were filmed in the time and place that they nailed. I don't think this is

the exercise that was. That was my question. I know, so you and Culvert Matthew, Well, Culver Matthew, you have your name backwards. I love that he referred to it as an exercise though. That's that's adds a lot of gravitas to they proceeded bit of an exercise thought experiments. The gooch says, Ladybird nailing early two thousand Sacramento, which I think is so funny that now early two thousands is like a historical period that just makes me feel

so old. But I also kind of love it, yeah for sure, because it did have a feel of like the late that that's the thing, like the beginning of every new era feels like the tail end of the previous one. It's some weird confluence you know what I mean, Like, yeah, that's because it's all arbitrary. Of course, if we just draw these lines between anything, it takes time for us to even get what's the thing of the two thousands? Doesn't happen on day one of two thousand, that's right, No,

it doesn't, of course not. That's when the Y two K bug makes the elevators not worth exactly, and all the money in your bank account disappear. As long as you've got like lots of you know, bottled water, You're okay, Daniel Quinn and Booley says mid nineties, I was born. What are did that? Now? I'm confused. That's funny now sorry. Michael McCord link Ladder's Days and Confused Man nineteen seventy six and Sophia Copple's adaptation of The Virgin Suicides. Totally.

She really nailed that that seventies era. Michael Patrick's Boyhood, although that that took place over quite a period of time, but I agree that he really nailed that. I still have not caught boyhood, Chuck. That's a whole, it's a whole thing. It's a whole. Debbie Franka Dakas one of our Oldest of Friends election exactly like Suburbia Suburban Omaha in the nineties could be a time capsule. Yeah, I love it. Man Alexander Pain and his dirty cars one

of his things. Vanessa Lopez, oldest of Friends, lords of Dogtown spot on for early skate culture in southern California. Patrick Gorman, another old pal, says boiler room was essentially the way sales worked before the financial crisis. Interesting, I never saw that, right, that's all right. We've got computers that make noises, knowl we do. That's where it's the future. Blair Christensen says, a New Hope nails the portrayal of

far far away and long ago. That's very cute, just like a mad Max Fury Road really nails Trump's America. Sarah Stapleton Hell or high Water. I have not seen that. I want to see that. It's supposed to be really good. Oh it's great. Yeah, Oh it's grizzled. It's very no country for old men. Uh that vibe. It's uh, what's his name, Jeff Bridges and who's his counterpart buddy? I don't remember, but it's really really good bow Bridges. No, it's that kid who who's in the X Men movies.

And he was in that. He was in Six ft Under. He played the troubled art student that Claire falls in love with. Oh sure, Ben Foster, Ben Foster, he's in it. And he's a hell of an actor. That's so good. Yeah, I gotta see that love Ben Foster. Boys. He good. He's one of the best of his generation. I think have you seen The Lighthouse, Chuck? I have we talked about that? We did? Okay, take this out. Did you see it yet? Yeah, we'll have to crush it. We should.

Maybe you would. Maybe I hadn't seen it yet. I don't remember you had not. Oh well, then we're not taking any of this out because it wasn't a stupid question. And no, I don't think you've ever repeat yourself on the show, so it should not be a problem. Always repeat myself on the show, Chuck. And you you you know that. Sarah Stapleton says, Heller high Water, she said nails the Texas Panhandle even though it was filmed in New Mexico. That's all right, you can still fake. That's

the magic of movie making. Both places have dust, that's true. Oh boy, you're right at my Alley Alec alec Man with the vowels maxim Witch inside Lewin Davis. He said, it wasn't around New York in the sixties, but it sure makes me feel like I was. Yes, Joker Mike meets as Joker, eighties New York vibe. When is the Joker set? Though, I mean it feels like that. It feels I mean, it feels like think King of Comedy era New York to me and I I'm not supposed

to think. I think that's it, right. It just sort of like they don't really, you know, make a big deal. Did you finally see that? I haven't seen it yet. I don't. I really want to. Grant Woody the assassination Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford captures the look and feel of the time. I would think pretty accurately. Grant, that is one of my faves. With a friend of the show, Paul Schneider, The Schneids Nights

is in that movie Oldest of Friends, Yvonne Boudette. It says taxi driver of course, Benjamin Johnson, Goonies and Grimlin's Nail the eighties Somewhere Culvert Matthew is just spinning out of control his mind. You don't get the exercise. Ryan Folinger says the fifties in Greece. I'm not sure if that nails the time and place so much as Ryan just loves Greece. I think it's also just sort of like a it's a stereotypical, kind of just absolute send up of that era. Shot on a Happy Days. It's

all the same. Are they nailing time in places or are they just omaging? I think it's it's it's absurdly omagy. Yeah. By the way, happy anniversary, nol oh Man. Thanks Bud. What did you get me? Uh? Three days ago we had our two year anniversary on this show. A. We're gonna respond. I didn't get you anything. I got you. I made your co host. That's true. I appreciate that. Now. I started this show, it was much different. It was it's like, oh, I'm gonna interview celebrities every Friday, and

that's the show. And then you were the producer an editor. It was early on. Yeah, and then you toss that like a bat and toss it chuck. I I was hold elsewhere. You're pulling different directions, but you were kind enough to join me as co host of the Mini Crushes. I love it, dude. I always say that the biggest part of the show. Well, I always say this is like I always look forward to do because we do it early in the morning and it's just a nice

tone setter for my day. And I always find that I have a really nice day when we do these. You always have a nice day. When you started with Chuck, It's true that should be on a T shirt. I love that a bumper sticker at the very least. All right, now, we're gonna move on. Because I wanted this is an exercise coming up. I wanted to see if people could write movie log lines new ones. I saw this one crossing my find I did not read any of these. I didn't want to spoil any of these, did you.

I like the one that you like because I wasn't aware of it. And I love Royal tannin bounds and I never because I think about the the tagline, Well, that's the tagline. I'm talking about the log lines. Wait a minute, there are these two different exercises. Yeah, tagline is like the fifteen words sentence on the movie on the poster. The log line is what you tell the executive in the room, Yes, I got it. I think that's interesting though, the idea of the tagline because it's

so ephemeral because they they disappear. You don't remember those anymore. I do, but you do. But that's cool. I want to know them. That's why I'm fascinated by that one. But I'm jumping the gun here, let's get that'll be next week. Everybody taglines, so I asked everyone to write a log line. A log line is a one sentence description of your movie. It's also known as the elevator pitch.

If you know what an elevator pitches for any business, that's the very quick summation because you've just happened to be on the elevator with Steven Spielberg and you got to tell him because he's these Flord's coming up. Oh yeah, you got one sentence. He's got places to go. So it's interesting. I wanted people to write original log lines, but I was not clear. So they're writing log lines for existing films. That's fine, Or should I pull a culver Matthew and bitch of fit. No, you often aren't

very clear with these posts, Chuck. That's sort of that's the fun of it, because then we get to like bitch about it and decide whose fault it is. Who dropped the ball here and I dropped the ball, Vanessa Lopez said. For zombie Land, we're just gonna go with it because this is what you want. Everybody. Four new friends survived the zombie Apocalypse because there never ever, because they never ever forget the cardinal rule, the double tap. Mm hmm, I don't get it. No, I mean, is

that the real one? She wrote? She wrote it for the movie. These are all original creations, whether it's an original movie or an original log line for an existing movie. Yes, is that what we're saying. We're gonna get a mix of these things. It looks like it, because it seems like I was not clear enough. Should we guess? Should we play the game? Let's make this fun for us, Beccalou,

one of our oldest friends, says. A ragtag group of friends sets out on an adventure to find a lost treasure in the hopes of saving their homes, making a new friend and a few enemies along the way. First of all, what constitutes rag tag in a group? They're just like seat of their pants kind of like, you know, I think rag tag means disparate, right, or they're all different.

They're all like that like gets like a like a Motley Crue Motley Well see even then motley Crue, doesn't that mean like a gang of thugs that are gonna beat you up? All right? Ragtag untidy, disorganized or incongruously varied in character. Yeah, so it is rag Yeah that's a good description. Then. Now so rag tag search for treasure, group of friends save their homes. Adventure to search for treasure to save their homes. Yes, yeah, what's the deal.

They're the developers are gonna take their homes or something like that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So they need the money because they live in a seaside community. They live in a hamlet, and that's a big deal for developers. They love that ship. They wants a big hotel or some big hotels. You're about the Margaritaville hotel here in Atlanta,

By the way, I feel like I heard something. I think it's it's a big kerfuffle, like these developers are swooping in and they're going to build a Margaritaville hotel where I don't remember, but it's in an area people are not happy about. And also Richard's variety store is getting forced out apparently, which is a real bummer. I don't know what that is. What you call yourself an Atlantean? Now, it's just a cool little store that sells like fake poop and wigs and you know, two twos and board

games and it's a variety store. They sell a variety of where it's it's right by a trader Joe's on Monroe, like on the outer shopping center where the movie theaters behind him. It's a beloved spot. But the rents are forcing folks out. Well that's sad. Then I'm sad for Richard. Maybe I should have bought some fake poop. There's just still time, chucker, still time, Caleb Selman says. Man regrets life choices after being foist, foisted forced to join the

family business. That could be so many man regrets. What's the biggest movie ever about a man being forced to join his family business. I don't know, the Godfather. Oh see, that's you threw me there with family business. Luke Harkell Road, one of our oldest to pal, says a fun space adventure movie based on a failed space adventure television show was it. It's not a great log line, but it

is funny. Failed, that's a I don't know if I would say failed because it's a favorite television show, Lost in Space, but it was canceled eventually Start Trek Firefly. Great show and movie. I wonder if anyone wrote an original. I'm not seeing that. That wasn't clear. No, it's okay, this is fun all right. Paul Stevens says this, No purple man's lust for jewelry will end half of the life on Earth. That's clever, that's very easy. Yeah, it almost reads like a haiku. Um uh, it's it would

be the Avengers. That's right. This is int sting and you probably already know this, but I recently started watching Community Um the Dan Harmon Show, and the first several episodes are directed by the Russo brothers, who went on to direct like all the Avengers movies and like all the big Marvel movies, is that where they got their start?

I think it is interesting. It is interesting. Austin our deb Ski says, a mischievous, suspender wearing young man agrees to be experimented on, resulting in the loss of his free will Is it the lawnmower Man clockwork Orange. No, the guy in lawnmore Man didn't watch suspenders, he wore overalls. Those are not the Yeah, I think I saw lawmore Man, like you know, when it was out. It's terrible. It's just like what it's like one of those early like it's like VR you know, like it was. There's a

big moment for that in in in the nineties. It was a virtuosity when it was all like wire frame polygons, like just shapes, you know, Was that was virtuosity Kanu Reeves or was that a virtual city? Was you're thinking of Johnny Nemonic? Maybe? And virtuosity was actually Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington was quite a big big Budge picture at the time. Big Budge, Big Budge, Louis Silva, he gets it. It's not just a boxing movie. It's the

greatest love story ever told. Hurricane Raging Bull, Rocky Raging Bull had a love story. That's true. Uh, let me see here. Some of these are a little on the nose, all right, No, let's do one more because I wasn't clear enough. Have I mentioned that? Uh maybe a time or two. But but but I think it yielded a result that is consistent. So yeah, I wanted people to make up their own movie ideas well. Put it in a sentence. So you should you should have said literally that next time.

Dylan Thomas screw you know, Dylan Thomas says, seriously, this guy freaking loved his dog. Oh gosh, Marley and me. No, wait a minute, hold on, freaking loved his dog. A boy and his dog dog bites Mann dog tooth. This has been a wash dog dog bill dog? What is it? What recent movie? He really loved his dog? He really so that he would kill thousands of people for Oh John, John vic Yes, John, Yes, all right, I'm sorry everyone, that's my fault. Why are you apologizing? That would take

this one on the gin? That was a fun segment. I screwed the pooch, as they say, that's really gross saying when you think of it, really, is anyone do that? How is it so accepted? And just like you know, I don't know if it still is. I think I just dug that one up from the past. Screwed the pooch. Here the pooch, poor dog. Did you see that cat on Monday Night Football? The other night Wolf Uh no, No,

that was a kitty cat. The black cat that was just all of a sudden was on the football field during the Giants Cowboys game, and uh, this cat is running scared, and all Emily and I, Emily and I can do is just feel bad for this cat. Like people are laughing and the commentators are having fun, and people are, you know, in the stadium, are having a good time. And all I could think of is that poor cat is petrified. But as the cat is running,

it's running towards the end zone. And I went watch Emily, that's like, people are gonna cheer when that cat gets into the end zone. She's like what I was like, you watch? I bet you anything. And that cat got closer and closer across the goal line and everyone erupted as if it had scored. Amazing football fans, you can count on a knoll. They're very They're they're nothing if not consistent. That's right, all right, We're gonna finish up with comment card because there's no way that I can

screw that up. Mhm, scared, you know. Mike Ireland, oldest of friends, says, I know Halloween, Halloween is past, guys, but what's the scariest movie you've ever seen. Scariest, like really scariest movie. Mm hmmm, I don't know. I mean I always I found Hereditary to be quite scary. Might be scared me pretty pretty well quite affecting. Um. I thought that the original Halloween was pretty scary. I was particularly damaged as a kid by the original pet Cemetery movie.

I think I've mentioned that at a time or two on this shows Lost Lost. I remember that movie scared me. It had to do with the time I saw it. It was way above my pay grade, you know, like as a as my emotion al pay grade. And there are some things about it that really jacked up my little child mind. Like Zelda the creepy skinny sister, you know that kind of crawls right towards the camera. Yeah, any skitterery movements or like crab crawls or anything that

will get me every time. Uh. There's a fabulous Korean movie that was horribly remade um for American audiences, which always always annoys me when the original is just so great. It's like read some subtitles, people, But it's called a Tale of Two Sisters. It's a Korean ghost story. That is quite scary. I recommended highly. I like being scared in a movie. I will say Chainsaw Masker got got under my skin pretty well. Slica was pretty scary. Um,

and yeah, that original Halloween. That really got me, you know, how to watch the other night, dude, was the original Evil Dead because I had just seen part two for the Joe Gardens episode and I hadn't seen the I think I've only seen the original Evil Dead once maybe, and it was a while go. Because I didn't, I kind of forgot how fucking bonkers that movie is. Yeah, it's bonkers. The thing that it's interesting to me is

I want to hear your take on this lay. It felt like the work of a filmmaker who was trying to make a scary movie, and then the second one leaned into the fact that it was kind of funny. Uh well, certainly changed as the tone of the second film a little bit. Yeah, the first film was straight horror,

and then they got progressively fun more fun exact. But I think there were some things about the first one that maybe accidentally read is funny, you know, after the fact, it was all pretty fu Yeah, I haven't seen it a long time, but that's just I remember making that connection because I did it the same way you did. Like I think I saw Army of Darkness first, then Evil Dead to second, and then eventually Evil Dead. Were you confused? It didn't really. I don't know that it matters.

The mythology is so loose and sort of doesn't really matter too much. You know, boy that the the original was just really Uh, I guess i'd forgotten how nuts o that movie was. Like the last twenty minutes was just crazy. Yeah, the practical special effects and the tree. I remember the tree well that that that's the one

scene that does not age well because it's a tree rape. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, And Sam Raimi has come out and been like, uh, you know, I regret having that scene, but I actually feel like they did something along the lines of that in the remake that came out a handful of years ago.

I have not seen that, but they did because I did read some articles because I was like, I wonder if saying Ramie feels bad about this, and he does, and then they said they mentioned that the new one, Like why did they even redo that scene in the new movie? So I don't know it was it definitely did not even watching it the other night, I was like you, I don't like this scene. No, I didn't need that. I didn't serve the story. You know it was it was shocking. Yeah, I bet Sarah Negi says

this favorite holiday foods? What favorite holiday foods? And all? That's a movie related questions. They don't have to be movie related. Okay, you're right. I told them they could ask anything they wanted. This is an A M A situation. Okay, holiday foods, Yeah, I mean you got any special family things you always do, Like you know, when we used to go to Ohio for Emily's thing, that always did skyline chili and buck eyeballs, And that's the only time that we had that stuff was in the holidays. Oh,

buck eye balls, not buck eyeballs. Buck eyeballs, it's a testicles, rocky mountain oysters or whatever. Rocky Mountain oysters or testicles these are. But these are eyeballs you're talking about. No buck eyeballs. It's a little sweet peanut butter and chocolate things made in Ohio, the Buckeye State. Sorry, sorry, Chuck, you were talking about like crazy traditions. I was I assumed it had to be all just a little sweet

love that they make every year. That sounds good. My mom does a really nice leg of lamb situation, you mean, like testicles, just like that stuffed with lamb, testicles and eyeballs. Leg of lamb. It's just my it's such a something I don't eat except on holidays with my mom, and so it's a very it's very nostalgic. I like it. Yeah, we don't have any like I mean our standard Thanksgiving. You know. I make the stuffing in the benshed potatoes and we do sort of all the standard Southern trimmings.

But Thanksgiving is different all over the country. Training up north then had Thanksgiving and they had like oysters in their stuffing. Oh, I've had oyster dressing. It's great. Well here we call it dressing. There it's stuffing. But my mom makes that. She'll she'll make a couple of different types and she'll do it oyster really. Yeah, it's it's super good. I wasn't wild about it. But I don't like cooked oysters got it at all, which is weird.

Like I can eat three dozen raw oysters, but I don't like a cook Like I don't like a Rockefeller or a fried oyster? Is that the one with the bread crumbs and the spinachi. It's baked, and I prefer them raw as well. I like them. I like them cook, you know, like an oyster. Po boy. No, no, no, I don't like I really especially don't like the fried oyster, which is weird because I like fried food more than anything. Something about the texture. I like that it's not e

raw that's slipping down my troat. You really paint a picture, Chuck, thank you. Let me see here. Christine ein Rickson Garaway, what movie best describes your family of origin? Does that mean like your ancestry or your people, just you know, life for young knowl with mom and dad, you know, in true movie crush fashion. I think we should go both ways. Okay, do you have an answer the movie that described my I mean, I don't really have much heritage as a tour I'm pretty sure you do, Vanilla.

You know, I think I'm Scandinavian. I did one of those twenty three and me tests and it was very unremarkable. Yeah, it was largely Nordic, you know, stock that's exciting, a little little miniature Viking, a little lafe lafe ericson with a k um. I don't know, man, that's tough. I wouldn't have an answer for that version of the question. For family, I just have distinct memories of going to movies with my mom when I was a kid, and I remember like going to see Jurassic Park with my mom.

So that describes your family kind of. I don't know. We didn't watch movies as a family really. I just it's just a memory I have of being young. I got you. I think what She's after is a movie that reminds you of your family, not like I saw this with my family, but it was my family because I was in I had a bunch of child geniuses siblings. Yeah, I don't know, Like maybe, uh, that would be pretty good. There was a lot of like consternation in my family, a lot of a lot of drama and uh and

big personalities. Okay, so not not as clever or as symmetrically framed as Royal Tennant Bounds, but definitely uh. Yeah, I don't have an answer. So your answer wasn't Royal tannonbounds. You didn't have child geniuses? No, I feel betrayed. My brother was pretty smart right on my sister and I are just average and all the best ways. Megan, Carol, what villain or monster do you have the most sympathy for? Hmm,

that's a good one. I think. I always like that alien, that alien, which one et he wasn't a he wasn't alien, the alien the xeno morph. Is that what it's called? Eno morph? Yeah? I don't even know this stuff. I love sure like that alien. A lot of sympathy for that alien. Would you consider e T to be a movie monster? Not a monster? He was. He was a kind of a monster, but it didn't monster indicate bad and scary. I don't know. Frankenstein's monster wasn't bad and scary.

He was. He was a sweet, sweet boy at heart. Maybe he was like sniffing flowers and stuff. He was misunderstood well in one scene, well that's a famous scene. Shock. Yeah. But he also smashed his head. Does he Does he really smash heads? I don't. I don't know either. It depends on what Frankenstein you're talking about. We remember that Robert de Niro Frankenstein. Was it not good? I heard it was not good. It's a bit of a stinker. I think that was like a college movie, and I

went and saw it. I was all excited. That was a real stretch for him, you know, like he was really like trying to lean into something new, you think for his career, like like you know, to agree to do that role. I mean maybe in his mind it's like the Boris Karloff, you know, Frankenstein is arc Is iconic, and he wanted to like be a part of that canon or whatever. Maybe it was a big deal movie to him when he was a kid, but odd choice choice. Kevin Herbond Old Friends says, the studio gives you a

ton of money to make Jaws five, what's your plot? Well, Kevin, I think if I was going to make Jaws five, the only thing to do would be to go back to the beginning set it at Amity Island, bring in Richard Dreyfuss. Sadly, Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw are gone,

but you gotta bring Richard Dreyfuss back. And maybe if we're just gonna really go out there and make up a brand new movie that doesn't have to be believable, maybe some of the some of the blown up shark from Jots one has morphed into a brand new giant shark maybe like a piece of blown up shark meat, lands in a pool of ecto ooze Ninja turtle ooze, and then it turns into mega shark, Yeah, mega Jaws. And then Richard Dreyfuss is the only person. Mr Holland, yes,

has to come back. He has to Louise, he has to lure the shark into docile ness with his sim his opus. That's right. As my my only request for Jaws five would be that it's in five D five D two better than three D two more d's all right? You know, No, I think we should kind of wrap this one up and spank it on the bottom and

get it up on out of here. I will say, though, Vanessa Lopez question from a couple of weeks ago about going on a double date with the celebrity couple, I told Emily about that question and she said the same thing I did. So that means we are sympatico with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick with a bullet for both of us. As JP. Whatever happened to her? What do you mean? She's around? She's around, but she's not really don't really act so much anymore she does. She

did that Sex in the City movie. She's done more than that. She's great. I know she's great, But I didn't go anywhere and Ol, he's all over the place. Are you certain? What are her latest credits? Chuck? I'm looking now because I I made such a statement that she hasn't gone anywhere. I told you she's gonna be in that play in New York that we're going to see next year. That's cool. Well, she had the TV

series for three years, Divorce, that's right, that's right. I remember that, and she was on Glee three episodes of Glee. But you're right. Movie wise, I think Sex in the City too was one of the last things she did, although she wasn't. A movie last year called Here and Now, which I call that one. I don't know, but she was the lead, so I like her too. You know what she says, screw you know that? Give me the

subtitle of this episode. It probably should be like, all right, thanks everybody for for sticking it out through this one, and we'll see you next week. Yeah. For more podcasts for my Heart Radio, visit the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows,
