Speaker 1 (00:24):
Hey, folks, and welcome to Movie Crush. It's Chuck Bryant
here in the studio in Atlanta. And this week I
was lucky enough to sit down with Miss Brandy Posey.
She is well, she's a comedian, a comic, very very funny,
and she is also one of the three co hosts
on Lady to Lady, the the awesome podcast from the

(00:46):
Maximum Fun Network. And I'm love those ladies and they're great. Um.
All the folks over at Max Fun are always so
great and kind to me, and they have such a
great lineup of shows. But Brandy came in this week
as part of the Red Clay Comedy Festival, so I
was able to roper into coming in the studio and
we had a great conversation about The Cable Guy, which

(01:07):
was her pick for favorite movie. And there was really
no hesitation on this one. Brandy was all in on
The Cable Guy and of course had been still Er
directed film. He also had a little bit part in
it with the wonderful Jim Carey and Matthew Broderick and
the whole host of amazing co stars like Jack Black
before he was really Jack Black and a little known

(01:28):
Owen Wilson at the time. I think even uh Mr
Bob Odenkirk has a small part. So it's really thanks
to Ben still Er chock full of of really really
funny people. George Siegel, I mean, does it get any
better than that. So we had a really good talk
about it, and uh, it's one of my favorite movies,
and we we exchanged our favorite lines and just had
a really good time. So here we go with Brandy

(01:50):
Posey and the cable Guy. So where did you grow up? Baltimore? Well,
I say Baltimore because nobody actually knows anything about Maryland. Um,
you're probably right there. Yeah, um, like like half an
hour outside of Baltimore from d C. So like Baltimore,
DC suburbs. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like ten minutes from Annapolis.

(02:12):
Like that was the city I always went to, which
is cute because it's all like Cobblestone Roads and the
Naval Academy is there and it's like on the water.
It's great. Yeah. And like everyone I know where I
grew up has at least like one like spy in
their family basically because we're in the DC suburbs. Like
everybody has somebody in the family that works for the
government and you never really thought about that. Yeah, it's

(02:33):
a weird place. My next door neighbor was a secret
Service guy for George W. Bush, and he was like
always in the background of shots. Whenever bushes on TV.
You just be like, Oh, that's Steve. It's just you know,
gonna take gonna take a bullet for the president. To
see him outside like painting his fences all the time,
You're like, oh, Steve, glad you didn't get shot yet.
Oh you thought he was painting fences. Yeah, you know,

(02:54):
just did a stuff episode on Secret Service. So right afterwards,
I did all this research and I was like, man,
that's a sitcom. It needs to happen. Truly, is like
a Veep style Secret Service sitcom. Yeah. So I wrote
down some notes and then I'll never touch it. You
can have it if you want. Well, I like the

(03:14):
idea of like a show about like the West Wing,
but like the working class of the West Wing. Yeah,
yeah for sure. Yeah, like what's happening with the chefs, Like, yeah,
the White House chefs. That would be awesome, Yeah, exactly,
it would be very cool. Cood service guys. I like,
I like all the everyone's code names, are always really fun.
Is my favorite part of about being I think that
would be my favorite part of it being president. Yeah

(03:37):
and everything. People have to call you by your code name, right,
that's awesome. Uh did you go to Like what was
your relationship to movies growing up? Were you like a
mall kid who was always in the theater pretty much? Yeah? Yeah,
I always went to Like I was obsessed with TV
and movies and stuff like that when I was a kid,

(03:57):
Like I remember the first movie I ever were seeing
this total recall, like being like like three, I'm seeing
total recall like it like like too young, um, horror
movies and the only movies that I'll mess with because
when I was Yeah, because when I was four, I
went to my first sleepover in my ballet with my
ballet class, and the parents showed us Child's play Too

(04:21):
Night Mary in Elm Street in pet Cemetery, and it
ruined my life for a good five to ten years.
And I still I'm just like now, I'm good. I
don't like the way that makes me feel. I don't
like it. Um, It's not like Gore or anything like that,
but it's it's more just like the stress of it.
I don't know, but to this day, I can't. I
can't look at Chucky. I can't deal with it, and

(04:41):
I'm watching any other movies and it sucks because that
um that like string of movies has become like so
ridiculous to people are like, oh, you're scared of those,
and I'm like, I mean I was four and I
had dolls my dad had. I built these shelves on
the top of my room that like all my like
dolls and like toys sat on. So before or that,
I was cute, but then after that, they just watched

(05:03):
me sleep. So I would like throw the covers over
myself and the contort myself to look like dirty laundry.
It's like my thought process. I was like, this is
how I'll survived the night. And I did that. I
didn't tell my dad for like five years because I
didn't want my my dolls over here we're telling my parents.
I thought I was afraid they're want to kill me.
So I made a hell of my own making. It's

(05:24):
funny that sheet protection thing, Yeah, like do you still
do that? Not not not the like make yourself into laundry,
but do you still feel protected by a bit sheet?
I do. It is like you can't just like it.
I have to be in a very special place to
be able to take a nap without a blanket of something,
you know what I mean, you can't just like sleep.

(05:44):
I mean I watched my my dad is like the
King of like the lazy Boy nap and I'm always like,
how are you doing that? You're so exposed? How do
you not I could split your throat right now. So
you don't sleep on planes or anything like that. I
candel that kind of stuff because I guess I trust
the t s A. I mean, I definitely shouldn't because
I've gotten some shipped through. But no, I I I

(06:08):
when when it's like convenience versus not like when I'm
just like I don't want to be awake for this
next six hours. I can like knock myself out on
a plane. Yeah, I can sleep sitting up like that
kind of like sitting, but laying down, I feel like
I need a blanket or some kind otherwise I just
feel like I'm gonna get murdered. I think that's super common.
Like I have literally and it wasn't a conscious thing,

(06:29):
but in the past, like I feel like in the
past five or six years have just like started sleeping
on top of all covers at night and where it
doesn't bother me. What does it feel like to have
that kind of confidence to feel I feel bulletproof, Brandy
n It's weird though, because sometimes though I'll wake up

(06:49):
like not necessarily a nightmare, but you know just that
like wake up when you just feel like slightly disturbed
or whatever, and I will get under the cover so
fast that like your head will spin. And so it's
still a thing for sure. It's probably some caveman thing
that we don't I bet you're right with you know.
I always thinking about that whenever, like you know, your
hair staying up on and I'm just like, what didn't

(07:11):
write the eight percent of me? That's Neanderthal? What are
they thinking right now? Yeah? What's going on? I mean
all all this ship comes from that? Oh yeah you know, yeah,
so much of it does. Yeah, if you boil it down. Um,
it's funny you were talking about the sleep over though,
like where your parents strict about stuff or could you
get away with watching kind of whatever? It's weird because
like I my dad's like an action movie guy, he

(07:34):
sci fi and I could watch anything with him. Um My,
but I I wasn't allowed. It was very lax, but
because anybody also like never pushed it. But I wasn't
really allowed to watch MTV or the Simpsons were Married
with Children. Yeah I know, And I was like, I'm
gonna come on, mom, let me watch Married with Children.

(07:55):
It's like no, but I it's funny. I also just
it's like I don't have like that encyclopedic knowledge of
the Simpsons the way so many like my friends do,
because I've seen most of the good episodes, but not
like I don't have like that. Some people just have
that well of Simpson's knowledge that I'm like, oh my god. Yeah,
I mean I've got some for the early like I
mean I was a big, big fan for the first
yeah yeah, yeah, but I've heard it's good again. But

(08:18):
I quit watching eventually, you know. Yeah, well there's so
much it's hard. Yeah, there's so much out there. Um
but yeah, I mean I watched a ton of movies,
like I can watch anything with him, um And he
was always down to see stuff and I always remember
like begging to be able to go see stuff in
the theaters, like that's where all my money went to yeah,
my my money has like I don't I don't drink

(08:41):
or smoke, do drugs. My my money has always gone
towards movies and like concerts. Right, that's like where I'm
always just as broke as by other friends. But I'm like, no,
I saw a band five times on a door, So
well that's people. Yeah. Oh, I think so ents better
than waste your money on drugs, right, I think so
kids listen to that here that So you grew up

(09:01):
with your well you're younger than me, so you probably
were all DVD right, A little. I had vhs. I'm
some thirty three. I DVDs didn't really become a thing
until I was maybe a freshman in college or maybe
my senior year house. Okay, so your your main media

(09:22):
as a kid, Yeah, it was all vhs. Yeah. I
resented DVDs, and to this day, out of spite, will
not buy blue rays because yeah, I just too good.
I just resent having to rebuy things that I love
in different media. Um. So, I like still have my
VHS collection at home in Maryland. It's on like a
box and it's like, no, these were these were the

(09:42):
tapes that I watched over and over again. With the
previews that I love, you know, and that that's just
you know, it's like my sacred stuff. Like I'm a
huge Jim Carrey freak, and I have like every every
one of Jim Carrey's movies until two thousand and two
or whatever one vhs and it's just like that's I
will never re buy them because also the O C
D part of my brain is once every by one
of them, I need all of them, and I'm trying

(10:05):
not to just have like physical media. So it's like,
you know, no, so I resent when I bought a
couple of dvidus had a bunch of those for a while,
and the one blue ray canut, I was like, Okay,
your box isn't even the same size, are you what
are you doing? Make it the same size? Some of
us don't want to have to redo it. Yeah, yeah,
so we'll do it. Well, that's a good segue into
Cable Guy, which, yeah, you're what was the other movie

(10:29):
you're going to choose? Uh? Probably either Zoolander or A
Sura Too. Might have been as Tura Too. I think
it was even something different. I got a couple in
the top. I mean's it's tough because and this across
the board. Everyone that I've asked immediately, um, I think
goes into a mild panic about going public. And that's

(10:50):
kind of part of the show, is like a favorite
movie is a big thing to say out loud to people, well,
and it's so hard because I feel like I feel
like movies a lot of ways if you if you
love the medium, like they kind of work the same
way music does. Or it's like I definitely rewatched stuff
as like comfort food a lot more than I think
to seek anything new out, Like I don't I really

(11:12):
like dramas. I have to really be in the right
mood to watch it because I mostly just want to
like use movies as like an escape and like that
kind of thing, Like that's definitely where my sweet spot
with it goes. So yeah, it's such a personal choice.
But it's also like I have so many different things
for for different for for what I need in the moment,
you know, more than anything else. What's your let's talk

(11:33):
about Jim Carey for a minute. In yeah, let's talk
about him. What's uh? Where did that start? What? What
was giving your history there? So Jim Carrey, I like, uh,
to this day, have not missed the opening day of
Jim Carrey movies. It's true too. It's a tradition that
I keep from myself. That's great tradition. I love that
that includes a lot of stuff, you know, I mean
number twenty three everything I mean I've yeah, yeah, But

(11:57):
but I also like he is never been bad in
a bad movie, if that makes sense, where even if
the movie is not good, he brings I understand why
he picked all the stuff that he picked because I'm like,
on paper, this seemed interesting and your part is interesting
us and a lot of people don't know how to
manage him correctly. What was the number twenty three? Was
any good? I mean I remember it. It was not horror, right, thriller.

(12:20):
It's a thriller. It's better than you think it's going
to be. To check that out. Yeah, it's actually the
first two acts are really good. The third act kind
of falls apart. But I blame that on Joel Schumacher
um more than anything else. Yeah, I mean a lot
you can blame on Joel truly. Um. But when I
was a kid, I remember seeing Aceture Too in the
movie theater. I had a good grandma and a bad grandma.

(12:43):
My bad. Grandma took me and my brother to a
movie and it was in Front Too and that is
in permissive or no, just like not. She was like
Sicilian Catholic grandmother had crackers no no, like no snacks,
would always watch golf and like didn't think children should speak.
She like out of because my other grandmother was so

(13:04):
great and was cool and taught us to read and
played cards, this and stuff. So everyone sell out of
like some sort of guilt. My big grandma would be like, fin,
we'll go to a movie. What if you guys want
to go see? So she took us to go see
From True Too, which was like the first time I
think I really knew who Jim Carrey was. Would she
actually go to the movie or would she just drop
you off? She came to the movie and she hated
that movie in such a deep way until the day

(13:29):
that she died. Every time that she would see me,
the first thing that she would ask me is doused
to like that Jim Carey really truly truly for the
next twenty five years and like And then I would
say yes, he is a childhood hero of mine, and
she would just go And then she would never ask
me another question about myself. I remained a mystery to

(13:50):
her until she died because she could not get over
that movie. That's how deep the spite runs in my veins. Man,
it's not not a good grandma. She wasn't very My
other one was like my best friend. So I was
lucky that way. But but that movie I remember Eastern
tur too, and it was like, he is this like
this mix of like innocence and anarchy on screen together

(14:13):
that I always like, I I was never a shy kid,
but I was as a quiet kid, like I never
really I've never been one to like fight for a
place in conversation. I'm always just like I'm not gonna,
like you want to hear me talk, you can ask me.
I'm not gonna like sit here and try to jump in,
you know. But I he just was such like the
opposite of all of that in his movies that it

(14:34):
was like this he was represented like this other side
of the spectrum that I'd never I never realized that
how whether spectrum went. So it's like he like inspired
me to come out of my shell a little bit
because he was just like very just so outgoing and
that stuff and was just so present and crazy and
just was man. I just I was obsessed with him
and then like reading his bio and stuff as a kid, like,

(14:56):
I mean his his life, his early life was really crazy. Yeah,
you know he's like homeless in Canada, Like you know,
I mean his like he's he's got like a really
really interesting story and I just was like really obsessed
with Like you came from nothing and you paved yourself
into this and he just really was like a hero
of mine as a kid. Yeah. I remember hearing the
one story about he wrote himself a check or something

(15:18):
like that. Yeah, so he like, um, he he was
a comedian for a long time and he got a
show in Los Angeles called The Duck Factory, which you
haven't heard of it because it only got eight episodes
and he played like the straight man, which is no,
it's epsteen clips. It's not great. Um. But he moved
his whole family to Canada and he had like a

(15:40):
his his dad was like a c p A. But
he got fired because of the computers and you could
never get another job. His mom was a hypochondriac who
was always in bed, so he like moved them here
to take care of them and then the show gets
canceled and you can't afford to keep his parents here anymore.
So he like drove to the top of Mahall and
Drive and like wrote him himself a check for like
ten million dollars and kept it in his wallet until
he could cash it, just as a this is the

(16:01):
goal and I need to like this is what I
need to like move on and just like that kind
of like single minded just determination is always just He's
just been very inspirationally in a lot of ways. And
he's obviously like problematic and a weirdo. And I never
actually want to meet him because I was going to
ask you if you had no now I I could,
but it would have to be in very specific circumstances.

(16:24):
He means too much to be a passing thing. Yeah,
meeting your heroes that yeah, And he he he is
like it's a him and maybe Patrick Stewart, but I
know Patrick Stuart would be cool, so like Jim Carrey,
and Jim Carrey would be too. By all accounts. He's
like a nice guy and I think he's just like
he lives in such a rarefied air that it's like,
how do you I don't know, he's he's met too

(16:47):
many people. I think you, like, you meet too many people,
and then you have no more room to actually know
how to meet a person anymore at a certain point. Well,
and you know, once you get to that the rarefied
air that he lives in, it's just I don't know,
it's tough to be a normal, yeah, exactly, exactly, And
he's he's not a normal anyway, like in the best
in the best ways. It's like what makes him unique?

(17:08):
And yeah, for sure, for sure. So he's uh, yeah,
he's he's been like my hero for a long forever.
I mean, like I talked like sure, like three years
in elementaries, right, I mean like his like all of
his catchphrases, like that was my thing. I loved him
all right, So that came out those movies came out
when you were a kid, kid, Yeah, yeah, so you
have in Living color at all or you're probably a

(17:29):
litt too young for a little bit too young for it.
I've watched it later after that, but like brilliant, Yeah,
it's amazing. And I used to have like his episode
of senl that he hosted forget for which movie that
was for, but his his first Senel appearance is also
like one of the best episodes of all time, and
it's like that's like where the Roxbury guys are in it.
You know, there's the cheerleader sketches. There's this insane sketch

(17:51):
with him as a lifeguard at a hot tub, remember there.
And there's Ride the Snake, which is this weird like
weight loss infomercial which was like the match right before
the end of the show. Well yeah, which is always
the weird awesome one and it's like, basically, I forget
that it's like Jimmy something other and it's um, it's basically, hey,
it's the weight loss formula and it's like crystal meth
as a weight loss and it's just Jim Carrey just

(18:13):
as this maniacal crazy guy and it's like him and
then Will Farrell like does Will ferrells and all these
sketches too, and it's like pre before he would we
knew him as him at all, and it's so cool
because he's this weird straight man and a lot of
sketches they're like, man, Jim Carrey like makes Will Ferrell
straight man. Yeah, it's crazy. And he's in this this
sketch with Jim Carey and it's it's really funny because

(18:34):
it's just like, um, they have this like devil off
basically with each other, and they both explode into blood
and it's just it's so it's like all of my
favorite shit about him together in one place. Did you
see the Comedians and Cars episode with him and Jerry Siginfeld.
I didn't know he did one. Yeah, Oh is that good?
It is? It is okay, I'm I'm iffy on Jerry.

(18:58):
I mean I loved sign Fellow lot when it was on.
It meant a lot to me. But yeah, yeah, but
now the old curmudgeon that he's become, Yeah, I used
like all the like college PC stuff just makes me
roll my eyes. Colleges are you playing, dude? You don't
know yourself? Like stop parenting your rich friends. Yeah, yeah,

(19:19):
I agree. He needs to cool with that stuff. Yeah,
but maybe you should check out the Jim Carrey thing
at NAST I did. It's a good one. I'll definitely
check that out. Yeah, it's cool. And then um, towards
the end of the episode, they go to his art
studio because he's really into that now. Yeah, and it
was just exciting. It's like there's that little documentary about
him painting that they did and it made me happy,
Like I always want him to be happy. Yeah, I

(19:41):
know what you mean. And it's just exciting that it's like, Okay,
you have something that makes you feel good awesome. I
want you to always feel that because like the amount
of like joy that he's given to other people, you
hope that they can find some of that for themselves,
like a constructive way. That isn't you know, tearing him
apart somehow? Yeah? Is he? Is? He interested in actings
to what was wating? He was in Let's see, Well

(20:04):
he did kick Ass too? Um? Oh was he in that? Yeah? Yeah,
I never saw that. He's very good in it. It's
not a good movie. Um, I love the first one.
He the second one just it forgot what people like
about the first. But he's very good in it. Um.
He's got a couple of like weird small parts in
indie movies coming out move for him, I think, I Yeah,

(20:26):
My my hope and dream is that like the people
that were obsessed with him when we were kids, like
are just starting to like get power in Hollywood and
are starting to make stuff. And I really want to
see him do some cool, weird cameos and things like
I feel like people are like, Okay, now I can
pay it forward to Jim Carrey with like a part
that understands him, you know. I think that's like I'm

(20:46):
hoping that's like what happens next. Yeah, Like he doesn't
need to, um, I mean, obviously he's got all the
money in the world, but he doesn't need to. Even
though we love those movies, he doesn't need to do those,
um Jim Carrey movies anymore. Well. And I think that
like the genres of comedy right now have kind of
like switched in a lot of ways. And he used

(21:07):
to do high concept, highly scripted like movies that were like,
you know, very precise, yeah, and pretty family friendly for
the most part, and comedy has kind of like shifted
for a minute into these more like kind of like
riffy looser, you know, more r rated comedy stuff. And
like Jim care is not like a riffer like that.
Even his like physical pieces, like he maps that stuff out,

(21:29):
brings in pieces, and then he will kind of like
play with it on set for like fifteen takes or
something to get it right. But it's always like pre planned. Yeah,
he's That's what I always appreciate about him is, um,
you never get the sense that he's scoofing around, Like
you can tell he's someone who takes it very seriously
and really really wants to do like the best job

(21:51):
that he can do, absolutely, you know. Yeah, yeah, and
like that work ethic is always one of those things
that I've always like really admired with him too, of
just being like, you know, there's that scene in the
First Day Satura where he like, um, he's there at
the mental institute and he's like wearing your two two
and they get this weird like backwards rewind that scene.
That's so silly, but like that's a piece that he

(22:11):
brought to set and was like, cool, this is how
we're gonna do it, and we're gonna get it from
these angles and like I'm going to hit it every
single time. And that's just like and it's amazing. Like
it's a silly movie, but when you look at something
like that and break it down, like that scene, it's
just perfectly executed. Yeah, nails every time, and like every
there isn't it's there's no metal on that bone anymore,

(22:33):
you know, like it's every moment that there is something
further to be something funny. Like he's analyzed it and
like like pulled it all off. It's awesome. So when
did um, when did when did Cable Guy come into
your life? Cable Guy? Well, I saw it in theaters

(22:54):
opening day, which was when that that's like, yeah, because
I was before Truman Show. Um, so I saw I
saw that. I saw it in theaters. I really I
liked it. I think I was too young to really
understand it, but I liked that it was like something different. Well,
there's a lot more going on, yeah than Meet c

(23:16):
I for sure. It's interesting. Like rewatches of it are
really interesting too, especially now because there's so much of
it that's kind of like been weirdly predicted. Oh yeah, yeah,
Like there's that whole monologue at the end where I
was like, oh, are you even play, you know, play
video games your friend in Japan? Yeah, and pretty soon
I even wrote that part down because we did talk
a little bit online about you, and I did just

(23:36):
about how ahead of its time it was. Yeah. But yeah,
at the end he when he says, uh, pretty soon
you'll be able to integrate your TV your phone, and
your computer, do your shopping at home, or play Mortal
Combat with their friend from Vietnam. And it's crazy because
that was I mean, it wasn't like he said that
in the seventies years ago. Yeah, that ship wasn't going
on at that time to that degree. No, the Internet

(23:57):
was barely a thing. Yeah, you know, I had like
a screen name, you know, yeah, exactly, like chat rooms
was the thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So I mean I
saw a cable guy. I always really liked it because
there's a I mean, when I first saw it, it
was like the big pieces like, um, the medieval time scene.
I really liked. Um, you know, there's and it's also

(24:17):
like a little bit dirty because it's the porto password
scene that like I did not understand, but I was like,
oh man, this is funny and weird. I don't get it.
But you can appreciate that scene so much more now,
for sure. It's so great. And George Siegel and uh
I wrote down the mom's name, Diane Baker um and
while Oden Kirkson that scene. Yeah, and it's just like, well,

(24:38):
first of all, the cast's there's so maniculous. There's so
many nuggets in that movie watching it now that you're like,
what are you kidding? Because it's like Ben Still directed it,
Apata produced it. I mean, Leslie Man's in it. You know,
Jenny Roflows in it. It's a Jack Black before Jack
Black was Jack Black. Owen Wilson before Owen Wilson. That scene,
that scene is so funny. I like that salt peanut

(24:58):
scene is like that kills me. Yeah, that's uh, that's
one of my favorite scenes because Owen Wilson is well
before like anyone knew who he was, and he was
so obnoxious. Is that douche bag guy when he's you know,
he's clearly not listening to her, not interested in her,
and then says, uh, you're sexy, and she goes, what
you heard me? And it's just like he makes your

(25:19):
skin crawl. And then the bathroom scene where he gets
his ass kick is like Jim Carrey at his like
peak physical powers. Yeah, he's creatively physical. It's also like
this weird like data comedy mix. Yeah. I love it
when his like he takes those scenes to his weird
like surrealist places. You know, it's like practically nonverbal and

(25:43):
he's just like dancing and beating him up as well
with the jazz thing. And I still say every anytime
like I hear jazz or something, I go saltbeanuts. There's
a lot of lines. Actually, this is kind of one
of my brother and mine big movies that will still
quote stuff. Um, that line is a big one, and
and my brother always throws out I think he was

(26:03):
definitely Asian. Literally, me and my friends leave voicemails of
just that really each other all the time. I mean,
my friend Katie, that's like always how we end a
voicemail to each other. It's so great. It's just a
particulars well, it's kind of and I think Ben Stiller
even said this in an interview that I was reading
about it, that it was it was basically like an
extended Ben Stiller's show sketch that they gave him, uh what,

(26:27):
seven million dollars to make. Yeah, And it was a
big deal at the time because Jim Carey that was
the record payday twenty million bucks, which was a record,
and it was it wasn't all the news. It was
a big deal and like deservedly obviously truly, but it
like I always felt bad that that's what made the
news about this movie well, And I think a big

(26:49):
reason I love the movie too much, so much too
is also that like people, that's kind of when people
started turning on them because they're like, you're not worth
twenty million, right, And I was like he is, though, yeah,
you're Jersey like and I was like, no, I'm gonna
support this movie. I'm gonna support him a hundred percent
from here on out because you're going to squander him
after he worked this hard to get all of this
stuff and those movies great. Yeah, like people just want

(27:12):
to tear people down. Well, and that was the time
where I first started to get on like you're right.
There was a big blowback up from you know, kind
of like what you're here nowadays about these Hollywood elite
like making this kind of dough. But when Jim Carey
makes a movie, especially back then, that would gross a
couple of hundred million dollars, he is the lone reason,

(27:33):
like he of course he should get that dough because
if not, it's in a studio or some shitty executive
and like that's an unconscionable thing. Yeah, exactly, It's like, no,
an executive shouldn't get that money, should barely be executives.
I mean whatever, unless you're listening, then you're great. Um no,
I love your side of the industry. I'm available. You
make all great choices, but like twenty million bucks and

(27:56):
then they don't know when the back end deal started.
But I was all for that stuff. Yeah. Well yeah,
it's a you're you're the face. It's your face that
is risking it too because of you know, I mean
that movie tanked and then it kind of like took
him a minute to kind of come back from that,
and then he came back. That's when the serious movie started.
Is after a cable guy? Yeah, because Truman Show is
ninety eight. Truman Show is so good. Um, the Majestic

(28:18):
is close around that time. Uh what I mightna call it?
I forgot about Majestic. Yeah that was okay, it's fine.
It's interesting. I understand because he was a huge Jimmy
Stort fan, so I know why he did it because
he wanted to make a Fronk Capra movie. And it's um,
it's way too long. But that movie is also so
weird because halfway through it becomes a different movie because

(28:39):
it's like a love story and then it becomes a
Senate here. Yeah it was really weird. Yeah, yeah, so
it's it's it's an interesting. It's interesting to like go
and rewatch that and be like, yeah, you guys needed
a good editor. But yeah, and then it would have
been great. I think I was into Truman Show though.
I was obsessed with that movie. Yeah, really really really

(29:00):
loved that movie. And also another movie that just has
predicted so much. Yeah you know, I mean but like
from like yeah, I mean just Reality TV in so
many ways, like between remember that and ed TV came
out at the same time. Yeah, yeah, ed TV did
not do good, but Truman Show just killed it. It
was so good. Um and uh yeah, and like so

(29:22):
that kind of was like Cable Guy was his last
real comedy for a for a minute, because I think
Liar Liar was before this maybe or maybe Liar Liar
might have been shot before this, but his like choices
were you know, he kind of moved in different direction
for a while. Yeah, but Cable Guy was different to me, Like, um,
it's a different comedy from any other comedy. Yeah for sure. Like, uh,

(29:44):
like Liar Liar and a Spentura, I feel like that
those characters than well, was totally a character um liar, liar,
I mean very funny, like still some of my favorite
like Jim Carrey comedy. Sure we and also just like
the height of like here is a premise, let's hit
it as many times as we exactly they exhausted it. Yeah,
and like that, you know, just a good lesson in

(30:06):
comedy writing of like how do that kind of thing.
But this character, Chip Chip Douglas was very risky for
him at the time, I think, and uh just and
again and rewatching a lot of it today, and then
I saw a couple of weeks ago was on, so
I was watching it. It's kind of one of those
movies for me too. It's on, it's kind of hard
to turn it off, But I don't know. The character

(30:28):
was just so great and risky and weird and dark. Yeah,
and layered in a way that he hadn't really done yet.
He hadn't you know, he hadn't been written anything that
had this kind of sad undercurrent underneath of it. Yeah,
this lonely guy with with a lisp and yeah, well yeah,
I mean all those scenes where they cut from like

(30:48):
when you finally like see his backstory as the little kid.
It's just like in front of the TV with mom
that's going out and you're just like, oh man, yeah,
and then cutting to like him in the future and
you're like, what is this guy's life like? And like Jim,
he just he brings like he's always like he just
like wears so much vulnerability in any part that he's done,

(31:09):
and I think he always has. It's like even in
those like more childish roles, it's like to be that
physically open is also vulnerable in a different way. So
it's just it's cool to see him like he used
like exposed himself in like that in so many different ways.
For sure. Um. I did a little research and U
apparently uh well, it was originally written for Chris Farley.

(31:31):
Did you know that? I did know that, Yeah, which
would have been obviously a completely different movie completely. Do
you know that the originalized Sinuro was for Brian Reagan.
Who Brian he's a Tory stand up comic. He's like,
he's a huge guy, but he's like a clean comic
who he's very good. He's like, you know, but he
probably recognized him. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's um, but he's
like kind of like at all like for Wisconsin. I

(31:53):
don't know if this formans consinbody has the wisconsinantness about him,
we've been a completely different movie. And Jim Carrey like
rewrote it completely when he got it instead. Well, and
that's kind of what happened here. Apparently, um and you
probably know all this stuff. But for the listeners, um
Apata was gonna direct, but the studio he was kind
of not the pick enough name yet, so they brought Instiller.
But apparently it was much lighter. A lighter comedy is

(32:16):
originally written by Lou Holtz Jr. And they kept going
back and I think Appetite fought for screenwriting credit because
they rewrote so much of it. And um Stiller said
in the end he he almost for every scene shot
sort of a lighter version and a darker version because
the studio was kind of insistent even though they wanted

(32:37):
the darker version. And I mean, obviously they probably used
most of the darker stuff. Yeah, yeah, that was a
tone of the movie. It was black, black comedy, yeah black,
And I think maybe one of the first ones that
I knew what that meant. Yeah, Like I don't think
I obviously others had existed before, but I think that
was the first time, it became a thing to me. Yeah,
and I was like, oh, yeah, this is this is

(32:58):
where I want to live. Yeah, for sure. And I think, um,
Jim Carey was I think the only what the place
that he gave was. He really was insistent that he
died at the end. Um. But I think they brought
him as close to death as you could and still
had kind of a nice ending. No. Yeah, it wasn't
like a happy ending, but maybe slightly hopeful, which is okay,

(33:19):
no exactly, like, oh, that guy ends up at a
mental institute and maybe he would make some friend but
maybe he get some weird friends there. Yeah exactly. Maybe
not so hopeful exactly, but it definitely it never struck
me as like a sellout or anything that they tagged
a happy ending. No, I think I think I think it.
I kind of like it that way. I always look

(33:39):
at when his movies are a little bit open ended
because you're like, yeah, what if. And it's also like
that it would be a little bit too clean if
that guy died. You know, it's like because that guy
is always going to be out there. You know, that
guy's always living. You know that guys everywhere, Yeah, you know,
so it's just big. You know, they don't go they
don't go away that easy. Yeah, that's true. Um, Broderick

(34:02):
got to talk about Broderick, he's uh one of my
favorite people and um, uh what was he? Um? The
mc ryan movie is one of my favorite movies. Oh gosh,
I'm blanking out now. Addicted to Love is one of
my favorites. Uh, and obviously growing up with Ferris people
and all that stuff, but he's so perfectly cast in

(34:24):
this movie as the straight guy. And um, the scene
that yeah, tight ass. The scene that really gives me though,
is the is the family scene that we were talking
about earlier when he when he you know, goes in
early and tells everyone, you know, you look rested, So
he's he's convinced the family that he's he's uh losing

(34:47):
it and accusing him of all these weird things, and
it's so ridiculous. But the entire family, of course, is
on Jim Carey's side, which that's the only way you
could play that whole sequence. But Broader, it's so good
in that one when he eventually snaps. It's isn't He's
so good at just being a wound top. Yeah, you know,
and it's so funny that we know him in Ferris

(35:08):
Bueller is the exact opposite of that. But to see
him play that kind of just tight, like come on, yeah,
it's really great. And Leslie Mann, who you said earlier
you can never remember her name. I don't know why.
For some reason, I'm always like, not Megryan, it's not mcgrian,
it's it's not the Banks because she wasn't real yet.
There's just something that like that blonde girl that just

(35:29):
doesn't like stick with me. And I used to confuse
her with Elizabeth Banks too, I think, like earlier in
both of their careers, before I had a clear distinction. Yeah,
but she, I mean, she didn't have a huge part
in this, but I think that's where she and Avata
actually met and uh, you know, fell in love and
got married. Nice. Yeah, I mean, I mean she's she's good.
She's good. It's you know, it's just not that's not

(35:50):
a prominent character, you know, but yeah, it's the two
of the two of her, like, um, like I buy her,
she's enough of canvas that I buy her with Matthew
Roddick or with Jim Carrey, you know what I mean,
Like in a movie to really Yeah, yeah know, I
could see you. It's kind of going through Lefe do
a new thing basketball scene. Oh my gosh. One of
my favorite parts in the whole movie is that ridiculous

(36:13):
warm up drill that he does just running back and forth. Yeah,
and then eventually is running like two at a time
and then kind of trips over himself, and and the
sound design with the sneaker squeaks and everything, and he's
just the loudest steps just when he just runs up
to them. Yeah, let's do this. Yeah, I mean it's
all ridiculous and over the top, but it totally works
because again, it just feels like sort of a ben

(36:35):
still sketched, like I had that vibe. I don't know
if you ever got to watch that show. Yeah, yeah,
I've got I have that on DVD. Okay, that's a
DVD that I do want, right, yeah, because that was
post VHS probably Yeah, No, I mean that seems that
seems just it's just fun. There's just so many like
it almost like so many like there's so many like
physical pieces that it just feels like it's like you
always feel like it was like Jim Carrey's like comedy

(36:56):
growing up a little bit, you know, Yeah, there's something
that's just like, you know, everything is a little bit edgier,
but it's still the same kind of ridiculousness, but it's
like not whimsical. Yeah, there's like an edge to it now. Yeah,
I think what I really liked about Cable Guy though,
Like I loved A. Sventura and um in those earlier movies, yeah,
yeah for sure, but they were just comedy comedy comedy.

(37:19):
Like I like that Cable Guy had something to say
and it had that framework of people being glued their TV.
I mean, sort of like Truman Show and then Away
and the whole undercurrent of the the Sam Suite Trial
brothers Ben Stiller played, uh And I don't know, it's
just kind of cool that it it didn't hitch over

(37:40):
the head with it, but like there was clearly a
statement going on there about latch key kids and parenting
and sitting them down in front of TV and everyone
just being all consumed totally well, like cool, And it's
interesting because I wasn't a LA kid, but I watched
a lot of TV and movies. Yeah, um here, but

(38:01):
like I so I found obviously watched the movie and
I would watch it here and there, but then like
here's where we bring him. I don't love it on
your movie podcast. But I saw from DC basically, and
it like, obviously it was a huge deal, right to everybody,
not even just from d C obviously, but yeah, but
if you were in DC here in New York, yeah,

(38:21):
it's like, well, like on the day I where I
went to high school, like I had friends that didn't
know where their parents were because their parents were spies.
So you just like nobody knew where their parents were
for like hours, and it was the whole thing. I
got into a fight with a kid in my health
class because he was like, oh, yeah, no football practice,
and I was like, Tanya doesn't know where the funk
our parents are. Don't celebrate not having to run laps,

(38:44):
you asshole. So my health teacher was like, Brandy is
pretty cool. It's like, yeah, I get some credit. Yeah,
I felt pretty good about it. Um, But I like
I watched After After Night eleven cable guys how would
to sleep every night, But the rest of my senior year,
I watched The Cable Guy like every night on VHS.
I wore out at VHS a cable guy and body

(39:04):
new VHS at The Cable Guy because it just was
like something about it was just like familiar, and I
was I think they're it. Just I was like, it's dark,
but everything turns out okay. So it's just something about
that movie was just like literally helped me deal. Yeah,
it's a big thing. And also just like I've always
processed stuff, you know. I mean I remember watching the

(39:27):
Towers Fall being like this looks like Independence Day and
shake that thought from my head, you know. So it's
like I've always used like I'm not particularly religious, so
I use pop culture as like a lot like a
touchstone for like you know, like comparing things and thinking
like there's so many things that are just like that's
how my like a lot of my morality was like
you know, Frankenstein together from like watching stuff like that

(39:48):
Cable Guy was just this weird like cautionary tale like
don't go too deep into it, but also like be
be aware, be mindful, don't go off the deep end,
and like you know that that's like all of that
stuff kind of came together, and it's just that's like
why it's like one of my favorite movies because it
was like, oh man, like I got I got over
night eleven by watching The Cable Guy. Like what, but

(40:10):
I mean, I mean that's the comfort food, you know. Yeah,
I mean that that I watched it every day and
like those all those scenes, it was just like, this
is a ridiculous He's a funny they always make me laugh,
but there's like a darkness here that I just felt
right in the moment too. Yeah, in a little substance

(40:31):
to it as well. Yeah, yeah for sure, And just
like you know, there's just you know, the tale of
like not becoming that or letting yourself become that, because
I also, you know, I mean my parents were processing
in their own way, and like we would talk about stuff,
but like how the heck do you talk to your
kids about that when they're old enough to you know.
And I also was like, you know, a senior in
high school, so I was like, got to go to college.

(40:52):
It was like a lot of like what happens when
I leave to move into a city, what's about to happen?
So you know, it's just kind of like quell so
much of that stuff. I just feel like, Okay, well,
at least I'm still going by my real name, right,
I think I'm gonna be okay, that's awesome. Yeah, we

(41:18):
finished up here a movie Crush the Royalty. Um with
a couple of things here. One is what Ebert said,
He's always like to read a quote from the review
and h very sadly rod Reebert was not a big fan.
He did not like Jim Carrey. He has come around, really,
he came around on it. There was he does a

(41:39):
lot or he did that a lot, would appreciate people
later on in movies later on. Yeah, Yeah, there's a
couple of his reviews, especially for some of Jim Carrey's,
really like earlier movies in the early nineties where he's
just like, what is happening? Yeah, why do you like this? Um? What?
What did it say? Well, that's a shame though, to
not like at least appreciate, Like maybe the movie itself

(42:01):
isn't the greatest piece of art ever, but how can
you not realize you're watching like the modern Buster Keaton
or Charlie Chaplin or whoever. Exactly. Yeah, I think I
think there's a period in the nineties where he got
a little bit too I'm a critic, and then he
liked he decided to Oh no, there's more to life
than this, and you should like maybe get off my
high horse a little bit. Jim Carrey is like Rise

(42:24):
and kind of like Plateau, kind of was in that
part of his career. Yeah, all right, so he gave
it two stars. And here's one of his quotes I pulled.
We want to like Jim Carey. A movie that makes
us dislike him. It's a strategic mistake. So I'll go
and disagree with him right there. I'll disagree with that too.
I like to Chip Douglas. Yeah, I wanted good things
for that character. I know Chip Douglas. Yeah, you know.

(42:45):
I mean, I know so many Chip Douglas. Yeah, maybe
he didn't know any Yeah, as it is, the movie
gets goes in one direction and the cable guy goes
in another. I don't agree with that either, and by
the end we aren't really looking forward to seeing Jim
Carey reappear on the screen. I disagree with all of that.
I do too, uh, And I usually like I'm pretty
on board with the stuff. Note to producers, there's an

(43:08):
old joke ass saying that satire is what closes on
Saturday Night, to which could be added another black comedy
is not what you pay someone twenty million dollars to do. Really,
that's in as part of this sour grapes, I think, Yeah,
which should not have like, I think it's a critic
you shouldn't like who cares something I paid? Yeah? Is
it a good movie? Doesn't stand on its own? Yeah? Yeah, no,

(43:31):
he I was disappointed to hear this stuff. Yeah, it's
a bummer he had he definitely like, did not like
Jim Carrey's stuff. Yeah, I just wasn't his thing, and
he didn't couldn't see past it because I've I've always
liked his reviews too, and I've gone back and read
his like Jim care His Jim Carrey movie review hasn't
been like man Ebert. Yeah, come on, you wrote Beyond
the Valley of the Dolls, like, how about you take

(43:53):
a seat. Yeah, I'm sorry this movie was too weird
for you. What Yeah? What sure Cisco liked it? By
the way, I should have pulled a quote from him. Uh.
And then we always finished with five questions. Um, and
these can be short answers if you want for long,
it doesn't matter. What is the first movie you remember

(44:14):
seeing in the theater? Cinderella? Okay? Yeah, with my good
grandmother and my brother yeah good gam Yeah. What would
you call her actually sweetie pie? No way? Yeah, yeah,

(44:35):
my sweetie pie. I love that so much. Would you
call the other one grandma? Yeah? Yeah, my grandmother? Yeah
she or my mom sometimes, you know sweetie pie. That's yeah.
That that will make me smile for the rest of
the day. Uh. First R rated movie theater or home?
Uh total recall? Okay, yeah that's the one. I mean,
I just yeah, get your asked to mors. Yeah, remember

(45:00):
like three boobs and eyes popping out? Those are my
memories of that movie and like not understanding it and
then when um Schwartzenegger's head like opens up. Did you
end up watching that? Like was it one of your
movies after that? Or um? I always like it whenever
I see it now. But it wasn't like I think
I was. I was just too young to understand what
was happening, and I like didn't it was whatever my

(45:21):
dad was watching. Would like kind of pop in on
your dad dug it? Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, he's a
big Swarts nagger fan. Uh do you will you walk
out of a bad movie? And can you remember doing that?
The only movie I've ever walked out of. Is it
called House Guest Steve Martin? Yeah, I didn't see it,

(45:43):
but I know the one that is the only movie
I've ever walked out of because there's there's a scene
where and I love Steve Martin, Yeah, I mean and
me too. It really like broke my heart to see
him too a bad movie. And it's like there's a
scene where so the premises that he's like a lawyer.
I don't even remember, but it's like he's like a
lawyer trying to get this woman's case or a client

(46:04):
or something, and she's like an old racist. But then
for whatever reason, Queen Latifa comes to stay with him
because I think she he like he did something to
her and like she like is like no, I'm staying
here until you solve my problem or whatever. Um so,
but the woman like comes over the like rich old

(46:25):
racist lady comes over to the house, and he's like,
you can't be you can't be here. You can't just
like be here. You have to be. You're my You're
you're my house, my housewoman, you're my you're my you know,
you're a servant. It's this weird scene where the latest
lady is just like, oh I I used to we
used to have a girl like you when I was
a kid, and yeah, and just like starts singing these

(46:45):
like slave hymns out and I was like, what is happening?
Why has this happening? Stee Martin Queintifa, what are you doing?
And it really like it made my skin crawl, and
I just remember being like, I'm gonna g I'm gonna leave. Yeah,
I can just leave. I don't have to sit in this.

(47:06):
So I it's the only movie I've ever walked out of.
And I've stayed through some ship. Yeah that I watched
all of Jack and Jill. What was that? Well, I mean,
I know that's that Adam Sandler. But I also didn't
pay for it. It's not gonna do it, but but
I stayed for the entire thing. Uh. Yeah, the only

(47:26):
movie I've ever walked out of. It was the whatever
theater we used to go to, Like they didn't check
the other theaters, so if you bought tickets, remember we watched,
so you'd go into one and then go Yeah. I
used to do that occasionally, the buy one, get one
for you deal. Yeah. Yeah, we'd always like double or
triple feature stuff at the theater. Yeah, yeah, you know,
I think karmically we're all still paying for those things

(47:48):
a little bit, right, probably, No, probably for sure, that's right.
I mean that's like the worst ship I did when
I was a kid. Yeah. No, say, it's like I
never did anything bad. I was good. Let's sneak into
a movie every now and then, uh, guilty pleasure, what's
your what's your big guilty pleasure movie? And if you
don't have one, that's okay. But I'm just trying to think,

(48:10):
like I don't. I generally don't uh subscribe to the
to the to the idea of guilty pleasures, right, yeah,
because I just wear what I like on my sleeve.
And no, I like the stuff that I like. I
know why I like it, and not like, oh this
is so bad. It's good. Yeah. I mean like I'm

(48:31):
like still a scoffan in. So it's like no, I
mean like that's yeah, no, it's fine. Uh No, I
don't really have I don't really have anything that I
go back and watch a million times, not anymore. I
think all the movies that I used to do like
that with I've watched enough that they're just in there
forever now well, and they're not guilty because you love you. Yeah,
exactly good enough. Uh and then finally, uh, I call

(48:56):
this one movie going one on one? So what is uh?
What are your rituals? Do you like try to sit
in the same place, you get the same thing at
the concession stand, junior mince is my move? Um? Usually yeah,
and usually I try to like bring them in from,
you know, somewhere else. I hate buying stuff at the
concession stand. I just man, I handed um. But in

(49:19):
l A there's a theater called the Vista that I
always go to. I used to live right down the streets.
The guy that runs it, he dresses up like the
main characters in whatever movies playing there, and that's how
he takes your tickets. So it's just it's and he's
this like very sweet older Asian guy. And he has
like a poster that he's made of himself and all
these different characters costumes. I don't think that ever happened

(49:41):
when I was living there. Oh man, No, that's what
he does now. It's great. He just there. He was
just it the murder clown, just like taking yeah. Yeah,
and I've seen him as a Jedi. I've seen him
as Iron Man, as Captain America, and he's always just
smiling taking your tickets like he's he's my guy. So
whatever we can see, we see it. There so much
leg room and it's just ridiculous at the vistas, such

(50:02):
a beautiful inside. It's just gorgeous. Yeah. Yeah, it's got
that kind of like old Egyptian kind of feel too,
like the Curtains part and it's I was just like,
did you know that that is the movie? Um? Did
you see True Romance? Yeah, that's the movie theater from
True Romance at the beginning that's supposed to be Detroit
where he meets her the Kung Fu h and you

(50:22):
it's just that Hollywood magic. They put a fog machine
up from the from the potholes are not potholes, the
manhole covers, and you just it feels like winter in Detroit. Cool.
But it's the vista. Oh man, I'm at to rewatch
True Romance. Yeah, it blew my mind when I saw that.
I was like, wait a minute, that the vista. It's

(50:43):
East Hollywood. Yeah, it's crazy. That's really cool. All right,
So the Vista Junior Mints, Vista Junior Mints, I don't.
I don't set up close to the screen if I
can avoid it. I also I don't do three D
R I'm act three D. Yeah, I can't stand it.
It's too much, like that's the vista is just the
right size. But I don't like. I do not like.
Three D makes me feel ill. Yeah, I don't like

(51:04):
it either. I did when it first came back. I
think I did. I think I tried two movies and
I just I don't. I don't need it, don't like it. No,
I feel like I can't. I can't take it all in.
It's too much. I don't want to be in the movie.
I want to watch it. Yeah, I know that I'm
watching a movie. Yeah. I don't think that I'm an orc.

(51:24):
Well sometimes yeah, I mean you know, I mean, like
you know in life. In life, I've been out on
the screen. I don't have a TV credit as an orc. Yeah.
So I'll sit like halfway back if I can with
my junior mints kind of just chill out with friends
or about yourself or both or both, ye both. Like
I'm pretty I've seen a ton of movies about myself. Um.

(51:46):
But I also I like, I like having somebody that
I can like deconstruct something with afterwards. Like I remember,
I remember seeing the first kick Ass movie. Um, and
like with my friend Joe and we student like the
roof of the arc light for like two hours, just
like I was ranching about how much I liked Take Girl. Yeah,
like give me more of that, right, I want more
of that things. Yeah, park Light's good too. Yeah. Do

(52:09):
you live over in that area? I guess so you
go to the Lost Pelas three to um. Yeah. Yeah,
well I live in Eagle Rock so that's where I lived. Yeah.
Oh yeah, well I mean I lived first down the
street from the Vista, and then eventually when I moved
in with my girlfriend now wife, we lived off Eagle
Rock Boulevard. Nice. Yeah, yeah, we're in. We have a guy,
my boyfriend like a trailer park that we live in
off a Colorado. That's amazing. It's pretty sick. I'm like

(52:31):
a homeowner. That's great. It's really funny because all our
neighbors outside of the trailer park of like two million
dollar homes. Yeah, north of Colorado there that used to
be our good dog walk. Oh yeah, so we used
to love walking over there. Yeah. It's really fun. And
this was geez, like fifteen years ago. So Ego Rock
was really affordable back then. Yeah, no, and now it's like,
I mean, we couldn't live there if we didn't live

(52:53):
in the trailer park. Yeah, and it's it's great. I
mean I love our house. But yeah, it's like we
have like a cheesemonger. Now, wow, what Ego Rock? Okay,
yeah that's great. Yeah that's fun though. But yeah, all
those east Side theaters, there's like a cheap theater in Pasadena.
We go see stuff at too. Yeah, we used to
go to Pasadena once, we when we moved out there. Yeah,
kind of it's just about the same as going into Hollywood.
It feels like yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's a good time.

(53:14):
So I kind of I don't have like I will
go to the Vista, the vista showing what I want
to see, and then I'll go look arc Light, second
tier and then kind of whatever whatever after that. Yeah,
you know, but yeah, no I don't. I'm I'm I'm
really sid goosey. I'm going to see what I want
to see one way or another, right, all right, Brandy Posey, Yeah,
thank you, Yeah, thanks for having me. This is fun,
all right. How fun was that? Very very cool. Brandy

(53:47):
is the best. She's so funny and lovely and just
a pure joy to be around. I'm glad she could
come into the studio and share her love of the
Cable Guy with me. And and how about that story
We got to the crux. She loves the Cable Guy
because every night of her senior year after nine eleven,
she watched that movie to make her feel better and

(54:09):
to put her to sleep. That was pretty remarkable. When
I heard that it was, I was pretty amazed, and
it definitely gave it a little bit of a deeper
meaning to why she loves the Cable Guy. And movies
can do that people. They can make you feel better,
they can be your happy place. That was definitely the
case here with Brandy. So go check out Brandy's website.
You can just look up Brandy Fozzy to find her
