Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio. Hey, everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Take two. Screw you, Chuck? Oh? No, is that this week's tables have turned? Now I'm screwed. I'm the pooch. You are the poods. You are always the pooch, Chuck Old. Do you like foreign films, foreign films, foreign language films, international films? No, that's not true. Yeah I do. I do very much. Yeah, okay, because we
don't talk enough about foreign films on this show. And I asked the movie crushers what their favorite foreign holm was. We've got three forty two replies, So I'm gonna leave this one up everyone, because this will serve as a great reference point if you're not into foreign films, or if you are, to go back and see what people are watching. James Trail says, Wings of Desire. Have you ever seen that one? I love it? Great movie? That is Vim Venders. Yeah yeah, really good. Oldest of friends.
Caroline Gaston, one of my favorite crushers, says, are we only counting foreign language or simply movies from another country? Well? I generally think of foreign films as foreign language. Would you agree? Nold. That's the thing is are we talking about the debate now in the in the Academy. I mean, if a movie is made in Canada, it's not a
foreign film, right, But that's the point it was. Karen did that speech because he won the Oscar for Roma, and he made a joke about how I grew up watching foreign language films like Jaws and godfa there and well, I'm sure some of our international friends will name American films because those are foreign films. That's exactly exactly true. But my it just he's pointing out that it's all
about perspective, I guess. And so I think they've renamed the category best International Film instead of Best Foreign Language Film. They have they have that that was in on NPR this very morning, look at you the scoop. So Caroline says, um, she says for non English Kimi no nahwah. I don't know that movie, say um, Kimi no nah wah. Oh that's a movie. I thought that was the person's name. Kimi no no wah. Um let me look it up, real cook, She says, no, your name, it must be
the translation. Yeah, it's it's a it's an anime film. All right, it's wonderful. Great. I saw it in the theater. It's fabulous, Marion Berginson says. Burginson says the Three Colors trilogy. Yeah, I haven't watched him since film school, she said, but it resonated. I agree one thousand percent. Did you see those Red, White, and Blue? I haven't seen all of them, um, I think I remember liking Oh, actually, which one did I like the most? Read? I think I liked Read
the most. It's been a while, though, I was in those early days when I was going to the Angelica to see those movies. And is that Juliet Bnosh? Uh No, I think, well, the one she's not in any of them. Well, yeah, she may be in one of them. I was thinking of of from before Sunrise. What's her name? One of my favorites. That's Julie Delpi. Yeah, Julie Delpy was in one of those. I'm pretty sure Juliette Banosh It was in at least one of them. It's been a while,
it's been a while. Don't do that, all right, I screw you, Oh gosh, chuck, Jimmy Kkendal one of our old princes. Emily No beautiful film one of my favorite sounds. Love it. It's it's like all it's all melodica. It just sounds like a French a little frenchman with an accordions. It was so good. Um the was the mark Carol and June and Junou and call was that them together for like the last time. I want to say, I think so, only sort of split. I think so. And
did their own their own stuff. Yeah. The movie I always loved by them was called City of Lost Children. Wonderful movie. It was a good movie, wonderful, delicateestans, delicate testsan was fantastic. What a weird, awesome movie. Ketty Bretta Meyer never heard that name before. K E. D d Y. I like it. I love the French thriller Crimson Rivers. I've seen that with John Benet and Vincent Cassel. I
love Vincen Cassell. It's a good movie. Man. Um. Genevieve Flint says a tie between Pan's Labyrinth from Spain and c R a z y from Quebec. C R a z y crazy. But it's it's spelled. It's got little dashes, got little not dashes, but period. Uh huh. So it's an acronym. It's a that well maybe that's with the periods it would lead you to believe, so I would. I still haven't seen Pants Labyrinth. What it's happen. It's good, it's very sad. Kristen Saturday uh Paumazle says Roma such
a beautiful film. Certainly I haven't seen him. Uh oh, you never saw interesting? Send him a paradiso. That's Jason DeLong. Such an incredible love letter on so many levels. Mark Colbinson says The Eyes of My Mother Italian horror. Amazing. Oh yeah, I've read about that. I haven't seen it, though. Stacy Nice is The Man from Nowhere an amazing Korean film. I've seen that. Korea is putting in a lot of
good stuff. Korea has been putting on a lot of stuff, good stuff for for a long time now, since like Old Boy and all that. I mean, even before I've seen The Man from Nowhere. It's like there's a kid in it. It involves him kind of rescuing this kid form like a street kid kind of because he's got like this badass assassin dude. It's good. No. Ubbard Old Friends says impossible to answer Curasawa's films will always have
a special place. Uh. This time of a year in my mind turned to the Christmas classic City of Lost Children. It's funny. It does have Christmas themes in it. I forgot about that. And it's got Tom Waits. The bats are in the bel Wait, he's in that. He sings the song Oh yeah, okay, you're innocent when your dream. Yeah, we haven't sung in a while now. He's a fine actor, Tom Waits, he's the best. I love Tom. Did you see Dead Don't Die But Dad Don't Die? I have
not seen it. I didn't care for it. Yeah. Uh huh yeah, a little look too, a little too too uh self aware in a kind of an annoying way. I'm interested to see to hear your thoughts. I watched it on the plane. I kind of drifted and I tuned out. After all, I want I want Jim Jarmish to sort of go back to his roots a bit. Did you see the Vampire one with til this one? I heard that was pretty good. It was pretty good
to you. I haven't seen it. I mean, Jim Jarmers is gonna do Jim Jarmish however he wants to do. Jim are just gonna he's just gonna not do it or do whatever he wants. What then he wants to do? Now, that's why I loves but Jim, if you're listening, I'd like to see you go back to your roots. Jenna van Valen one of my fades. Great Halloween costume to Jenna Um Train to Boussan is a strong contender. It's very good. I have not seen that zomby more than me.
I think zombie film on a train, Uh, really really cool. Zombie on a train. All right. It's a zombie apocalypse situation where folks are on a train between stations trying to escape, you know, because the clear zone is at this other station, and then if they can only get there then they'll be okay. And I take it. There in a situation where getting off the train is dangerous, very dangerous, and zombies are infiltrating the train, people are
being turned into zombies on the train, sounds awesome. It's really good. It reminded me of Snow Piercer a lot. And then it was like a kind of a bottle movie. You know, it's really really good. Train to busan kick ass movie. I'm gonna write that down on my list, no Oler, people following you on letterbox yet? A couple of people. I haven't put anything on there yet. Well throughout your name again? What is it? How now? Noel Brown? How now? Noel Brown Brown? Which is also my Instagram handle?
All one word in O E. L. Brown. Yep, I'm gonna blog onto my account right now. Greta Kney says ill Postino saw in high school. Really enjoyed it. Interesting, I never saw it Postino for some reason. Alsa Edwards once were warriors. Yeah, that's a great one about the Maori in New Zealand. That was another early nineties treat if I remember correctly. Melanie Stein says he loves me, He loves me not with Audrey to two, followed very closely by ludolcea Vita. Yeah, Ludulcha Vite is a great one.
What a classic. Zack Pointer old friends says my neighbor to Toro Have you seen it yet? Chuck? I have not. Have you seen that? Noel which one? My neighbor to Toro totol Totoro. Yeah, he's a big cat guy. It's a Miyazaki film, classic animated it right. I loved it. Yeah, it's delightful. Miyazaki can do no wrong in my eyes. Yes. Jin mcgillibray says, adore Triplets of Belleville. Those are French animated film about a cyclist he gets kidnapped by the mob and the old grannies that go to save him.
One of my favorite animated movies of all time. Triplets of Belbo Yeah, I know the movie. I have not seen it. It's got a really kookie soundtrack that uses a lot of like vacuum cleaner noises and like the sound of bicycle wheels. It's very vaudeville French kind of sounding stuff, very little dialogue. It's and then that there's the same guy went on and did a movie called The Illusionist, but not The Illusionist, the Magician one. This is about Jacques Tati and he plays an illusionist character
and it's also animated, and it's also delightful. Luis Silva says House of Flying Daggers. Asian cinema is a a whole other level. Where's say, in the South, a whole another level. Making broils Priscilla Queen in the Desert. Uh sure that's Australian. That's foreign. If you're in America. Sammy Delko says Silk awesomely creepy thai Wan film from Taiwan ghost horror film Silk Parasite. Haven't seen Parasite yet? See it? I can't wait. I'm see it tomorrow with Matt and
Alex art Riddle. Should come with us? You want to come? No, you've never invited me to your movie parties, so we don't do. We haven't really done it before, but you I would love for you to come. And we've never been to a movie with anyone at work. I've been with Casey a few times, but not not a ton. But we're gonna go tomorrow at tomorrow at seven thirty. What's today Wednesday? It's seven thirty. I'm looking at my calendar. Well,
maybe i'll join, you know, I would love that. Maybe other people can go back in time and join us. Did you say you've seen Jojo Rabbit. It's not here yet, is it? I don't think so. I'm excited for it. A friend of mine set New York and said it was great. I can't wait. David Mills, Run, Lolo Run. I've seen it at least thirty nine times. Wow, David, you used to see it one more time and get it even forty agreed. It's my advice. You love that movie, right, Chuck,
that was great, It's fun, fantastic. All right, we'll do one more here. Um, Matthew Jones says Maria Full of Grace. Do you know that movie? I do not. I have heard of it. Boy. There's a lot of good recommendations here people. If you want to you want to get some foreign film res, go check it out on the page. All right, now we're at tagline time. The thing you've been waiting for a whole week to talk about. I'm
ready for really twenty minutes. So tagline everyone, is that little short sentence on the movie poster I listed royal Tannon bombs. That's one of my favorites. Family isn't a word, It's a sentence. Another one of my old favorite knol is from Alien, the original Alien. You remember that one? Is it? Like in space? No one can hear you scream? That's it, man, I mean that was that egg and that tagline on the poster so iconic. That's a tagline that has really stuck around in the lexic and the
zeitgeist kind of too. I think people say that one of the jokes, one of the legendary text because what we were saying last episode, I think when I was confused and I thought we were going to do this segment is I'm fascinated by taglines because they sort of come and go, like if you don't remember them in the moment um, then you may it may just completely go out of your memory because it's not something that like sticks around with them. Then I think a lot
of people aren't even aware of them. I think some people really get into like reading them on the poster, but some people might not even acknowledge them. Austin our Devsky says, Jaws too will always have the best tagline to me, just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water. Not bad, Lisa to Shara, one of our oldest of friends. For a spinal tap does for rock and roll what the sound of music
did for Hills. That's pretty funny. Oh yeah, Suspiria, This is from Anthony nor Suspiria has got a great one, Knoll. The only thing more terrifying than the last twelve minutes of this film are the first ninety two. Remember seeing that that is a very bold claim. That's amazing what we do in the shadows. Some interviews with some vampires. That's funny, not bad. Bucka Rubansi Across the Eighth Dimension. This from Michael Reid. He says, wherever you go there,
you are not bad. What's that for, Buck Rubanzai? Oh, I'm sorry. Across the Eighth Dimension is a subtitle for that movie. The full title is The Adventures of Bucker Rubanzai Across the Eighth Dimension. I've never seen that. It's good? Is it fun? It's a classic, of course. Do you have a favorite tagline? Noel, I again like they That's why I was fascinated as I want to hear hear them because I don't really really recall too many, if any. Christen Bits, a guy says Ferris Bueller's day Off. This
is a good one. One man struggled to take it easy. That's funny. See what they did there and all because it shouldn't be a struggle to take it easy exactly. That's what makes it a great tag Like Greta Koenig says, they'll get you in the end. That is from Googlies in the movie poster. One of the googlies comes out of the toilet, get it in the butt, Yeah, get you in the end. Oh boy, this is great. Debbie Franka Dacas Edward says her hands his story will touch
you even though he can't. These are great. Uh. Brian Bistle says the original Black Christmas, which we were just talking about, says this. If this movie doesn't make your skin crawl, it's on too tight? Is this a silence of the Lambs situation? No? Well, I mean he says that. Bryan says, what the hell does that even mean? I mean, I think that's what it means. Is this like Texas chainsaw man? What is this? Did you already say the movie is Christmas? You're not paying it till black? I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. Have you I've not seen Black Christmas. I've been researching it recently because was it because of this show? Do we talk about Black Christmas? We did? We did, and there were some famous people in it. Margo Kidder was right, Yeah, That's why I was researching it. It looks like a fun movie. Um on too tight? Does that mean you're you're too uptight? Loosen up? Square? You know? I don't know. I think that must be what it is.
Jar Head from Zack Pointer. That movie had the tagline welcome to the Suck, and that turned out it wasn't a great movie. I thought Your Head was good. I'm kidding. I haven't seen it, but that's what is the suck? Well, I mean the thing in the movie the suck was just being in that platoon at war in war god it I think, uh Matthias Larson. This is from Knight of the Creeps. The good news is your dates are here.
The bad news is they're dead. M interesting gladiators. And this is from David Frey is what we do in life? Echoes in eternity a little heavy handed, not bad though, Ian Lyons from RoboCop, Part Man, Part Machine, All Cop, All Cop. That's a good one. Hereditary Knoll. This is from Trevor halperin Do you remember this one? Something to do with family? Every family tree hides a secret. Yeah, that's a little on the nose, super on the nose.
They could have done better. Yeah, It's like to me, a good tagline has just a little clever to it and not too much. And that's not clever enough in my opinion. Um. The thing from Jeff Noel see this is a great one. Man is the Warmest Place to Hide. You like that one, yes, because it's like an incubator situation. Well, I mean that's what happens in the movie. Man, it's the Warmest Place to Hide. Uh, did not get the
movie title on this one. So maybe we can guess from Rob Dickinson an adventure sixty five million years in the making. It's Trassic Park. Of course, that's not a bad tag. No, it's cute. Um, we'll see if you can guess this one. Nol, Brianna Taylor Mischief Mayhem soap, It's fight Club. That's right. See now we're we're flipping the script. Now, it's a game. It's always fun to make it a game. Oldest friend Rebecca Robes says, hot for Jesus, hot fuzz. Sorry, just that screwed the game
up already. Big cops, small town, moderate violence. That's cute. That's cute. Oh, that's pretty good. All right, here we go, Nol. I'm not gonna tell you the movie. Steph Shannon says this, if at first you don't succeed, lower your standards. I'm thinking it's some kind of rom com, not really that stuff, because it could be a lot of movies that's Tommy Boy. Oh yeah, I like Tommy Boy. Fat guy in a little coat. I never saw it. Classic scene he puts on David Spade's coat and goes fat guy and a
little cold and then he rips it. This was always even though I have my issues with this filmmaker, Lysette Kiel says this one, just because they serve you doesn't mean they like you. It's a great tag. M M. Is it an Oliver Stone movie? No, trying to think of filmmakers you have issues with. Uh, I don't know. That's Clerks, Clerks original Clerks, Yeah, which I actually liked for a while. That's fun. Uh. Gayl Koonts or old friend the danger Oven says this her life was in
their hands, now her toe is in the mail. Yeah, that's a that's a big Lebowski right there. Yeah, that's good. It's a really good one. Sarah Stapleton want to shout you out for the alien ref in space. No one can hear you scream. This is from J. J. Verbino and this is from the movie Heathers. Fuck him. If they can't take a joke. I don't know if that was on the movie poster. They wouldn't print that. Yeah, I think I think that was not the tagline should
have been. Now it's fucked me gently with a chainsaw. It's another good one. Yeah, that wouldn't be on the poster either, don't think so. No, you've been streaming anything. Let's finish up with some stream this and some comment card questions. What have you been watching lately? Then The Watchman? Been watching The Watchman? How many episodes are out? Three? Have you seen all three? No, I've seen the first two.
I have seen the first one and liked it. Yeah, it was episode two a let down or was it good? It opens up the world a little more. They're they're gradually opening up the world. And if you're familiar with the characters, it's a fun because you it's a it's
a flip. It's like a later situation where it's like, you know, the events of Watchmen the comic have taken place, and this is like sometime in the future and history has changed, and there's this like, you know, terrorist cult that's based on Rorshach who was sort of like the anti hero in the comics or whatever. But it involves racism. Yeah, it involves racism, and it involves like, uh, you know, white supremacy, and it's an interesting use of that world,
and I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued, like I don't know what's going to happen next, and I really really dig it. Totally agree, dude, I thought it was great. I can't wait to see more of it. I'm on my own with this one because I don't think Emily's into it, so I have to squirrel it away. But uh, yeah, I thought when I was a little worried because I loved the graphic novel, I liked the movie, um, and was just wondering, like, what what are they gonna do here?
But I think you're right. They did the perfect thing, which was not try and make it the movie of the book and just use that world because it's a cool world. It is a cool world, and I'm sure we'll see some of our old favorite characters appear here and there. Right. Yeah, By the time three happens, zero spoilers here, it really starts to open up and you start to experience more of the sci fi touches, whereas the first two are a little less so, a little
more grounded and like a gritty, kind of depressing reality. Um, it's it's really fun. I'm into it. And uh, but I mean the characters, like, are we gonna see Azzi Mandius? Are we gonna see We've already seen him. Oh well not in the first one. I just don't know it's him. Well geez, there's a spoiler. It's not a spoiler. If you if you, if you read the cast, the name of the cast, you know, oh no, no, I can't watch it any anymore. You can, You're gonna be like,
who is it? You know, it's not ruined, It's gonna be more intriguing. It's ruined. You know. They shot that here in Atlanta. I know so many people that worked on it, like set stressers and like, yeah, there's there's a whole mean where it's downtown Decator where you see the Iberian Pig. They didn't even cover it up. Yeah, it's great. And there's like a big weird sci fi orb thing that's clearly c g ied into Downtown Decator. It wasn't really really happy. So did you, uh did
you have some friends on it too? Did they give you any scoop? Because I got a little scoop and I'm wondering if you got the same scoop. I didn't get scoop, But the only scoop that I got was how different from the comic it was because they were naming characters and I'm like, that's not in the comic that there's the character played by the guy that was in No Brother war Art Thou and uh, tim Blake Nelson,
Tim Blake Nelson, he's the looking Glass, I think. And that's the name that they dropped my friend and I was like, that's not There's no looking Glass in the comic. So I kind of knew. I was curious that they said because my friend had a very bad experience with a certain cast member, and I was wondering if you could correct. Let's tell me off air. All right, I'll tell you off here because I don't want to talk too much back. But yeah, apparently one of the cast
people it was not a nice fun person. I bet it's Don Johnson. Oh maybe, I don't know. Why would you say that? Uh, just because he's like so old school and I don't know, like and he hasn't really done anything in a while, and maybe he's like I got a chip on his shoulder. Interesting being a TV star back in the day and it's all right, let's talk off, talk off, Mike, Alright, I have been I watched a movie the other night. Emily and I were
looking for something that sort of doesn't text the brain. Uh, and it's just sort of a fun movie. And we um did a little googling. And there was a movie that Paul Fig made last year that was very much under the rad radar, called A Simple Favor. Did you see that? No? I had not even heard of it. And it's weird that Paul Fig can make a major motion picture with a major motion picture cast that just sort of flies under the radar. It was Anna Kendrick
and Blake Lively were the stars of this film. And the guy um Henry from Crazy Rich Asians, the lead, Henry whatever his last night it was good. How he recommended did you watch it on the plane? No, I'll watched it the other night. Like I just said with Emily, you just watch a lot of rom coms on planes, Chuck, I'm sorry, it's not a rom com, really no, it's not. It's a thriller. I'm intrigued. And there are a lot of great reveals and twist and turns, and I think
Anna Kendrick is fantastic, very good. And she wasn't She was really good in this. Paul Feig is like the comedy guy though, right didn't he do? Yeah? He did? He Freaks and Geeks and Bridesmaids, the Ghostbusters reboot, I believe. Yeah. So it's a good movie. It's uh, it's highly recommended, okay by me? All right, I'll go with a highly recommended. I like that. I'm not gonna reveal too much. Blake livelies in it, and you know how I feel a
about her. I'll watch anything that she's in. You know, she and Ryan Reynolds, they little bit upstate New York. They just went they got a farm. Wonderful. I love that. That says a lot about somebody, it does. You know, they don't need to be in Hollywood, and he's swooping when they need to. Like Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. Yeah, a little bit out on their ranches in Texas. Love that isn't. I think Julia Roberts is in like New Mexico.
I think Sandy Bullock is I think outside of Austin. Interesting, not mistaken. And Matthew McConaughey too, he's an Austin Night. Sure he's a Texas guy. Uh. Michelle Johnson, We're going to finish up with some comment card asks us, this, what classic revered Christmas movie is overrated and you could do without? Mm hmmm, I don't know. Do you have one of Christmas movies? I don't know, Like, I don't know, man Like I don't really flock to them in general.
Of them are kind of overraped, That's what I'm saying. And they you watch them because it's Christmas. To me, the ones that I enjoy are the ones that are like Christmas is sort of an afterthought or it's not. It's just sort of like a little part of Maybe there's a part of a story that takes place in Christmas, but it's not a Christmas not a Christmas movie, like we mentioned, uh, we mentioned City of Lost Children. I had completely forgotten there was a Christmas connection in that.
But it's absolutely not a Christmas movie. It goes back to that debate as to whether a die Hard is a Christmas movie. It takes place during Christmas. That old thing, that old chest. Surely that's not gonna happen again this year, and I would hope not Like haven't we beat that into the ground people, Yes, I think we have all right, This is from Matt Cliff. This is a if you could interview anyone on movie Crush, alive or dead, who
would it be and what movie would you want to discuss? Well, I don't know if I can enter the second part because the guest picks the movie. But boy, if I could interview anyone living or dead, be hard not to go with like Philip Seymour Hoffman, you know, Oh yeah, I mean they're sure, they're plenty of people that have passed on that would be great. But he's He's just one of those actors that I have so much reverence for, left this way too soon, and I bet would be
a really good movie Crush guest would have been. He seems like it. I mean, he seems like a real serious seemed like a real serious guy. I don't know, I think he's supposed to be a real sweetheart. Paul Thomas Anderson said that when he made Magnolia, because his character and Magnolia was just he was the nurse, the home nurse, puspice nurse, just a really good guy. He said he wrote that for phil because he said that's
the most phil like true to his real personality. And he said I always make him some weird like Scottie and uh and punch drunk, love the phone sex, and he was like, I always put him through all the ship and he said I wanted to make a movie where he was the most like himself. And he's like, that is who philipsmore that That's such a nice sentiment. Yeah it is. He I missed him a lot too. That was a tough one. Um, who would you have no all if you were getting someone in here living
or dead? Yeah, I mean it. I really love Spike Jones, you know, Um, he's been such an He's had such an interesting career trajectory, like from making skate videos to like making these super d I y kind of like um very practical weird illusion kind of like music videos, and then parlaying that into just being this powerhouse filmmaker and still not abandoning some of those cool d I y punk esthetics that he always sort of start got to start with. So he just and he also just
seems like a lovely kind kind of person. I think he would have really interesting things to say. Yeah, I hope he is. But boy, now that I'm thinking about people alive, I mean so many movie Crush, Wishless, Spike Lee, Julianne Moore. I've tried to get Laura Lenney on this thing like five times because she shoots here in Atlanta, um Ki Marino, of course, dream guests. Uh, there are There are a lot of people I would like to get on the show, but I don't know how to
get them. Everybody, it's very hard to get people on your show. Let me see here, Nikki Spalding. Do you have a comfort film you watch when you're really sad? Mm hmm. I always like Wonder Boys. I don't know about what I'm sad, but it's like a rainy day or I'm sick, Wonder Boys is always a good save. Yeah. I don't really watch films when I'm sad. Like I don't either. I watched TV series of a lot of times, like I really like King of the Hill. It makes
me it's a very comforting show. I like The Office, It's a very comforting show to me. I don't get sad. You don't get good. Good for you, Chuck, I mean, you know, it's like I have ups and downs in life with my marriage, of course an extreme Emily and I are in a fight or something. But I'm not like laying around sad. I think about sad as in
like heartbroken and sort of that stuff. Right. Um. I've been through an interesting period in the last couple of years, like with some you know, ups and downs and relationships and looking for a thing and like kind of like thinking I found it and then realizing that it wasn't really the thing, and then being let down and disappointed. So I've definitely gone through that, but I have like really emerged on the other side of it, like with this whole new level of confidence and kind of like
lease on life. So it's pretty nice. It's nice to like feel like things make sense, you know what I mean. That's great. I was I was trying to think back when in my heartbroken days. I think it was more of a music guy. I would dive into music more than a movie. I would agree with that, and the saddest music. I was never like, oh I need something to pick up my spirits. I would like to I would like to wallow in my sadness. That was truly sad, and I think there can be a little value in that.
Actually not talking about people with depression. Um No, I'm a big fan of upbeat music with sad lyrical content like The Cure, you know, or like the Delphonics for example, like you know, Wall of Sound kind of Phil Specter, like really lush, beautiful, upbeat sounding songs, but they are all about breakups and heartbreak and stuff like that, like lyrically. Um, I enjoy that because it's a nice juxtaposition where you sort of feel uplifted and also wallowing at the same time.
Kind of true. It's hard to argue against the Smiths. No, it's not for some good sad music. Morrissey is canceled. That was great. Oh he's so, that's the thing. It's the whole art from the artist discussion. Like the Smith's classically fantastic. Morrissey is an individual, not that he was canceled. Yes, I refuse to even get into that whole thing. I'm
mainly kidding. But he's done some pretty gross things of late, like he supports a lot of weird right wing political fringe groups in the UK that our anti immigration and all that stuff. So I don't know. Yes, So anyway, I love the Smith's mean too. That's what I was saying, Lisa Pott says, what is the absolute worst movie you
have ever seen? And why? Well? Li said, there frent kinds of bad movies, because certainly there can be a movie like a Jupiter Ascending, which was so bad it was a wonderful and A and Scotty and I went and saw it in the theater because we knew it was going to be that we had the best time. But a really bad movie to me is a movie that's not trying to just have fun and is you know, trying to be good and is not. And the only one that springs to mind is I know I talked
about before, is um wicker Park. Did you see that stinker? No? I think it was. It's not harmony, Karen, But it's like trying to be kids kind of edgy. No, not at all, No, it is It is a romantic thriller. Oh, I'm started thinking of a different one called ken Park. Excuse me, wicker Park, I have not Sai Josh Hartnett and Rose Byrne and Diane Krueger and Matthew Lillard. It was a remake of a French film. I'm interested to see that French film. All of a sudden. I didn't
know that it was based on that. But boy, wicker Park was bad, not good at all, not even worth checking out, just to wallow and it's awfulness no, because it's not like, oh this is bad and fun and cheeky. It's just like, oh, how could it? How could you make a movie that's bad. It's like kind of self serious, like thinks it's being so clever and it's just annoyingly not. I don't think it was being thought it was being clever. It's just a bad movie. What do you have one?
I don't know, like the ones that I I just despise. I tend to forget about so um. I like bad movies that are fun bad like I love mystery Science theater and all that stuff and the room and all that, you know, but they do require a certain, uh, a certain kind of attitude, right, Like like you know, it's when you when you think that they're trying to Nothing worse than trying too hard, right, There's nothing worse than a film that's trying too hard to be a thing.
In Falling Flat, I like it when they throw a lot of ship at the wall and see and you know, and it just ends up being this total schmorgus Borg of like, you know, unevenness and awfulness, but it's fun. But when a movie like really thinks, it's like, oh, we've got this, you know, and it's just not too self serious, too self serious. All right, everyone, thanks for your questions.
