Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trender to Burnstein or Bernstein.
Now, I think I think we gotta trust Michael Stipe on this.
Trust trust.
We don't say Einstein.
No, you don't Trendar Burnstein is trending. It is a trending. Oh, I'm Jack. That's Miles. This is one of the last things from a three hundredth season of Daily's. Congratulations Miles, We really, we really fucking did it, man.
Three hundred Man, we can finally put the mic down.
We're just gonna do a slow clap for the next couple of minutes, if everybody's okay with that. Who do you think of when you think of a slow clap?
I don't know. I feel like it became such a like I obviously I don't know. I can't remember what specific film that became a trope from, so I don't really ever think of it like being specific as to just like a bit that you do.
I think it was Charles dust and Rudy. Oh you remember that one because it's weird because it like never picks up.
Really, it's like five slow claps. Charles s. Dutton, Charleston fully respect the sorry Charles Rock if you were up late on Sunday nights on Fox Rock.
I did, yeah, because that was like if brother Edler. Yeah, yeah, good.
Shows, good shows. I don't know, I haven't seen it now. I don't know if it ags well, but hey, I've just splendid memories. It's funny how my dad would be like, we're not watching Married with Children. We watched Rock and the Living Color because but then but they felt like living or Married with Sona was just too much. But he's like, but in Living Color though, that's black people, so it's okay. It was kind of like the man.
I was definitely part of that. Uh in Living Color, the Rock Block, Yeah, the Rock all right, well Miles Yeah. Netflix released the trailer for Maestro Alright, starring Bradley Cooper from the director Bradley Cooper from the makeup Department. A controversial prosthetic nos.
Yes, yes, it's yeah. A lot of people, quoting Sarah Silverman with a coins she phrase be like, why are there non Jewish people always playing Jewish people and then you're putting on like comically looking prosthetics on their face to make them look more jewish quote unquote, uh, prosthetics aside, I watched the trailer Miles and I want you to guess the number that I'm thinking of right now, and it's fuck off. That's that's a joke.
We would never do that, because that's the most boring thing I can think of anyone doing. And to witness anybody two people trying to guess the number the other one is thinking of, it's.
So min It's so minimal in its presentation that it feels like an act of violence on the viewer. Because I'm not joke out of visceral rey. I don't get upset a lot when I look at like new trailers or whatever. But there's something so unlikable about these characters as portrayed by these two in it like from the like sort of like North Atlantic sort of twang and like rhythm of speaking Darling.
I'm thinking of two Darling, a pair like the two of us, Ducks in a pond.
Ducks in a pond. What's the movie about? Of No fucking clue. Aside from we see him get older and I get it.
The love story in the background of music. That's really Bradley Cooper's sweet spot. It's kind of where where he eats is in the in the intersection of love and romance and music himself called a star is born.
Oh I do, And anyways, I'll get behind. Whenever someone's portrayed as being blacked out on benzos at the Grammys and pissing themselves, I'm like, see, I can relate to this on some level, even though I've not been to the Grammys.
But this, I'm sure people are gonna like it.
Just that, just that dission. But like, looking at this, you can just tell this feels like, you know, Brian was saying it too before I recorded. It feels like one of those laser guided made movies to just activate the voting body of the Academy.
Because will it work? Miles is the question?
Jam our other our writer points out, you got a good chance with a prosthetic nose, if you're trying to go for an Oscar. Yeah, you know de Niro, Yeah, Nicole Kidman in the Hours, you know what I mean?
So what her nose looks like that?
Wait a second, thing, she's really trying to be that character or she wouldn't put the nose on. She seems to uglier than usual. Yeah, so a lot of people. Yeah, again on a monster. Oh yeah, Charlie's yeah, she I mean that was like that was more than a nose though.
Charlie's went fall in for all that to say is like, you know, like now a lot of people are like, this just feels weird, Like couldn't he have just not had the like the nose, just like in the revival of like violent anti Semitism right now in society like this, what are we doing again? Whatever? That's his choice, is his, Like Leonard Bernstein's kids are like, we're fine with it. So you'll need to over here. Yeah, aka, please don't suck up our bag by boycotting this film because we signed.
The rights over you.
Must come watch my composition. Well it's.
Yeah, I don't know why why in that direction because I'm bad at doing accents. But it's interesting. It's weird, like this seems related to Tar in a way that is probably not beneficial to this movie, you know, like Tar is there's like really funny like postmodern cultural look at like a fictional composed like a fictional Leonard Bernstein character,
and but like it really I don't know. I can't then see someone coming back and making just straight down the middle, straight face Leonard Bernstein biopic and being like and we're good here, and we all saw that one and this one, and we think they're both neat, but maybe maybe.
At least like A Star is Born, how Lady Gagat? You get the appeal of that as a film, right, Yeah, I do not understand the appeal of talking about Leonard Bernstein.
I think it's going to be a hit. I don't think it's going to be a hit trying.
I mean, you know, his head was in the right places, like you know, he was you know, for like civil rights and shit, and like Leonner Bernstein was anti nuclear proliferation type stuff. But like, at the end of the day, again,
then this is my own personal thing. I'm like, I can I'd rather see someone like George Gershwin, like just because from the musical standpoint, I'm not a fan of West Side Story or like some of the other stuff Bernstein's done, but whatever, just even then, I don't even know if I'd see a George Gershwin movie, because I'm like, what the fuck are we doing? Is this? Unless the story's so mind blowing that you're like, you didn't know, man, like what this guy was trying to do the whole
time behind the scenes. But this just feels like a very seems.
Like it's like a successful relationship, like a successful marriage, the story of a marriage that is like good, which I don't know that maybe maybe I'm overestimating boom boom the uh I do think. I will say Bradley Cooper's performance in the original Star Is Born was very good, right. I thought it was like one of the under talked about things from that movie with how good his performance was.
I mean, I get, like, you know, and Brian just pulled up a stat he said, there's over at least ten Oscar wins for where her fake and if you look at my man b coops fucking win loss. If you look at the box score real quick about Oscar noms.
Yeah, they don't like him.
They don't like him. I mean, sir, you are taking El de Barge after El de Barge, and I don't know what you're gonna do, So I get why you're now gonna be like, no, fucking man, give me the nose. We're doing it.
He was sitting at home during when the Oscar nominations were announced, and he just said, give me a fucking nose.
Give me the fucking note, Like, yeah, you just see him break a glass fucking panel and just pull it out, and he's.
Like calls his agent and he's like, I'm in. I already have the nose on, can you talent, I already have the nose on? Oh yourself.
Hurricane Hillary is on a passports Southern California. Uh, not much to say other than sat there, folks.
She fundraising. Wait, that's real thing. Yeah, what's last time we had a motherfucking hurricane?
Been a while? Looks like we're get We're in for rain on Sunday, Saturday and Sunday.
Maybe.
Wow, hold on to your butts. Yeah, Southern California doesn't know how to act when it.
I mean, it's it's truly like, I mean, we get at verse weather, but like a hurricane getting to Southern California. Folks, here we are, you know, at the crossroads again where we'll just I'm going to continue to see things that I've not seen in recent memory. So wow, all right, Hill, be gentle.
And a new Harrison Ford snake just dropped. All new species of snake was just discovered in Peru, one.
Of his ex wives. Guys, welcome to the misogyny Radio Hour with your wonderful host. I write all my own jokes based on my own pain. I have not resolved from my personal relationships. Wait, he has a fucking snake named after him.
He's very very common, Like there are spiders named after him. There, there's now I think multiple snakes named after him.
I mean, I get the snake thing because Indiana Jones.
You know, right, Indiana Jones scared of snakes. Yeah, not scared of spiders particularly, but there's some scary spiders in in Indiana Jones.
It's the spider's called the Calponia. Harrison Fordye.
Yes, the snake is called the Fidley Harrison fordye.
Oh wow, okay cool? Was there uh you I.
Know this is one of your favorite movies. Was there a spider scene in Hollywood Homicide that we're forgetting about that would maybe explain?
Is that what Josh Hartnett Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah there is.
Yeah, okay, makes sense of it. There's even an ant and then there's this like quote from Harrison Ford that is going viral.
It's just.
It's always fun to like relearn, and you know, we if you pay a lot of attention to Harrison Ford. You kind of relearn it every every time you see something about him that he's just like an old.
Stoner, Yeah, who likes to crash planes.
So there's this quote. These scientists keep naming critters after me. It's always the ones that terrify children. I don't understand. Spend my free time cross stitching, sing lullabyes to my basil plants so they won't fear the night. So they won't fear the night.
Yes, it is fucking that. Are you sure that's not like an onion like fake quote? You know what I mean? It's so spot on like that, Like it blows my mind where he's like, they I sing lullabies to my basil plants so they won't fear the night.
Yes. Oh, I have only seen that quote shared by people saying I thought this was a ClickHole or uny quote.
It's like that.
It's it does not exist outside of somebody sharing it with that sentiment.
Very weird. Wow.
Anyways, he is plan Uh, don't fear.
The night, we basil plants. It will only last for but a moment, and the sun will show its face and you will bask in its warm and glow once again Okay, my little baisies.
I love how freaked out he was by David Blaine that viral video. It's very endearing, which was that he like, David Blaine does a magic trick for him in his kitchen and then he just like looks at him and goes get.
The fuck out of all. Yeah, that makes sense now, Like he's a sensitive man.
He's sensitive and very high.
Very very high, very sensitive. Yeah, good for you. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Man.
We're back, and not too much new from the Trump legal conflagg ration. Uh. We we do now have more information about how exactly he's going to pay for all of this. It is through campaign donation money.
Yeah, yep, that's I guess this is legal.
Yeah, it's not like ethically okay, but.
Yeah, I mean I think, I mean that's yeah, that's they clearly know how to sidestep the FEC regulations and they're like, discover, it's more like that it's never been done before. That's why we're always like with him, We're like, I know, we would like no normal person would do that, but there isn't an actual law on the books that
prevents it. So Okay, yeah, Yeah, anyways, it's it's a lot of money, you know, and when you look at again, like the stories of how uh Juliani apparently like went to mar A Lago twice being like I need money and basically was like, yeah, whatever, we'll see what happens.
Get this loser out of here.
Didn't give like a specific amount or when he would help, and like I think him and his Guliani and his lawyer were like, it will help you a lot if you help him, you know what I mean, because this motherfucker is shook. Yeah, which I love to read how scared Rudy Rudy Giuliani has been like this last week, just terrified.
Yeah, I mean, our campaign finance laws at this point make being like running for president just a great like tax dodge, Like yah.
Yeah, just put all my let's put my super pack and just shield myself from any liability there.
Yeah all right. Barbie is now Warner Brothers top domestic film of all time, which is pretty crazy.
What did that overtake The Dark Knight? Oh wow? How apropos? Yeah, taking over Nolan spot and.
They think it'll probably overtake the last Harry Potter movie for global box office pretty soon because it's like still performing really strong.
Oh yeah, I'd like as a just I was like looking to maybe go see the Ninja Turtles movie over the week, like last weekend, and I just remember just just to see what ticket availability looked like for Barbie, and I was surprised, how like not like fully packed out. But you're like, oh no, people are fucking go.
We're still doing it because I know.
People who tripled it at this point. Wow.
Yeah, yeah for the Monster hit not a sequel, so I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we'll uh, maybe we'll see them take more swings.
Are they going to make a fucking franchise out of this?
They're not right, They've that's what they're saying.
One and done. Well, that's what maybe Greta Gerwig is saying. Yeah, but will Warner Brothers and the fucking goblins in the C suite who are just looking at more money and be like ring it out for one more go Yeah.
And then there's a there's a story about the director of Sound of Freedman Free Sound of Freedom, who is not capturing the Freedman's the Sound of Freedom to documentary, Yeah, which is also about uh, child sexual abuse. But yeah, so this one, the director has like come through and been like, guys, like, this is.
Not fair to why why?
First of all, I'm not going to get a dollar from this thing being a hit. Second of all, all of this negative press has made me feel sick to my stomach, honey. And when you hear the origins of this film, that should clear any misconceptions up that you might have. Oh, okay, great, Uh you're not actually gonna listen to the origins of the film, are you, because it actually doesn't clear anything up.
Yo. You really want me to stick around and tell you the origins? Shit? Yeah? Okay. So where the.
Movie began back in twenty fifteen, Okay, wore QAnon was even a thing?
Okay.
I got the idea from a TV news segment, and I wrote a script about human trafficking that was purely fictionalized. Okay, And then the film's producers like Matt with Tim Ballard, and the movie changed into a supposedly true story about ballads it exploits. I let him like, use my script for be a true story about this guy who's like super problematic and probably lying about everything.
Well, you just glazed over that whole part. So what, oh you're listening to that part?
Yeah, it was before QAnon. Dude, we got there first anything, but I gave qan on the idea.
But that's not the final The thing that you originally idated in twenty fifteen is not actually the final product.
So that's it was out of my hands at that point. All I could do was then direct the film.
Dude, it's such just such a disingenuous defense. Yeah, to be like, I had the idea before QAnon, although in the development process it very Yeah, it got taken over by people of that mindset and you let.
Them take a fictional movie and claim that it was nonfiction and then you directed it. Well, it's not like you are the person whose ip was like purchased and then like taken away from you.
You directed it, right, Yeah, you were there. Yeah, presumably you had the ability to you know, make some decisions there. But hey, yeah, you know, it just sucks because like that guys basically kind of like on the QAnon thing, and also the guy we've fucking cast in it is just screaming about it NonStop.
So yeah, so's there this guy, so this is his second film right.
His first movie was a film called.
Bella that was actually pretty successful at like certain film festivals. That movie, Okay, some people claim it was an anti abortion drama. And did this director recruit faith based communities to support that film? Also? Yes, but it was not anti abortion. Did he go and visit George W. Bush and Laura Bush at the White House because they were a fan of the anti abortion message? Yes, but that
doesn't mean qan on stuff. Didn't they use marketing practices that are like in line with a cult, where like you would have to give your email address to interns who would then like follow up with you and harass you to make sure that you brought people to see the movie.
Yes, okay, for your commitments.
Gotta remember your commitment. Huh, yeah, I remember. Do you remember you said you're gonna support Bella, That you said that you understood it was the most important movie in the world to help us. And wait, but you're not an abortion.
You're not a liar, right, because when I met you, I didn't You didn't strike me as someone who lies or was disingenuous. You seem as someone who's very concerned about what's happening in America. With abortion.
This poor guy just keeps accidentally backing his way into having movies that are hit because they get supported by right wing hate mongers. Yeah, and I feel sorry for.
Him, I really do. And again it's gonna be so hard. I was just looking in Variety and seeing the next thing he's working on, Rittenhouse. I just feel like people are gonna again paint him with this brush that he's glorifying right wing violence. Just really unfair. Shout out his wife Ali Landry from the Dorido's commercials, though, Wait, what his wife is Ali Landry?
No, the filmmaker.
Yeah, yeah, that guy, that guy. She was in Bella.
She was Bella whoa, And I know she's she became like a right wing person, right.
Yeah, or she's not Bella, she's Celia in the movie. But anyway, she's in the film. But yeah, I don't know if she's out right outwardly right. But anyway, I'm like the Dorritles late, Oh wow, look at you came up and she used to be with Mario Lopez before she got her marriage in and then hooked up with this dude like two years later.
All right, well, there you go.
That's what I bring to this story.
All right, well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday, August seventeenth. We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
