Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.

(00:29):
Hey everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Monday. I'm here with
Mr Nol, Mr Ramsey, Chuck. You know what the scariest
thing in the world is to me? Um baby clowns.
You know, it's not far off um misshapen Disney characters
that are drawn incorrectly, or costumes that are designed, there's

(00:52):
something that where they're just off enough that it gives
you this really just sickening, kind of weird, unnatural few line,
you know what I mean. I have no idea where
do you see misshapen? Here's here's a good example. Um,
there's a daycare on my street clearly has unsanctioned Disney
characters drawn all over it, and it just has like,
I'm gonna use uncanny valley. That's not the right term,

(01:15):
but it's got to this sort of like unnatural quality
to And it goes to show that you may think
these character designs are simple, but there's a real magic
to getting them just right sure being being drawn correctly correctly. Yeah, yeah,
that's my starting thought for the day. So we got
a lot to catch up on. Nol. We just um
in Los Angeles, for the podcast Awards, and after having

(01:41):
been it was it was fun. It was very fun.
You know, it was fine. I was sort of like,
you know, award ceremonies. But I think the key, which
is what they did is keeping it to an hour,
right on the nose and in moving. They kept it moving.
Will Ferrell kicked off the show. There were some laughs.
He I'm sure he got in a car about seventeen

(02:02):
seconds after he left the stage and left and his
full denim regalia counting uh. Contan showed up to accept
his award. He walked in five minutes before got his word,
and I think he was probably in his car. Quite
tall man. Seventeen seconds later, my old buddy Matt Gorley
was on stage with him as his producer, which was wonderful.
Jean Claude van Dam was there. How weird was that?

(02:23):
That was? Uh? The highlights the podcast? He needs one,
my man. He doesn't everyone get a podcast? Now? The
Ageless wonder too. He looked exactly the same. We were
in line together, right were we We were sort of interesting, yeah,
but he was like right there, like he was right
in front of us in line. We I did the
red carpet thing, with my stuff that it wants you
to know, uh cohorts, for the first time I've ever

(02:45):
done that, and right behind Jean Claude van dam Yeah.
I mean he looked like he could still leap up
and kick us in the face without even like breaking
a sweat. My kid was with me, as you know,
it was my my plus one, and I had to
I thought I was freaking out on the lines, he said,
Jean Claude van down. Of course, She's like, who then?
Is that? Understandably? But I showed her the training montage

(03:06):
video from Kickboxer the next day and she was like, oh,
that's who that was. I still don't know him, but great.
She thought it was fun, nothing like a good montage
from those types of movies from from the eighties. And well,
here's my secret. I don't think I ever saw John
Claude van damn movie that was not my jam not
even Double Impact, not even best of the best. Was

(03:28):
he in it? I don't know the Kickboxer too? What
do you got time Cop? Time Cop had to have
seen time that can't be stopped? Was that the tagline?
Is that? Why is that because he because he can
control time? I guess he doesn't really control time though.
If I'm not mistaken, Ramsey, what's the deal with that movie?
What's the conceit? Um? Aren't there multiple time? He's not

(03:49):
the only time cop. He is a time cop. He's
like displaced in time. There's something about the same matter
cannot touch, Like you can't go back into the future
and touch yourself because hey, hey, hey, it's like it
no future masturbating, got it? Interesting? Time writer? Now that
was the movie Time Writer two? Uh? With what's his face? From?

(04:13):
Fred Ward? Fred Willard? Fred Ward? Who's fred Ward? Fred Ward?
Come on, nol You ever seen Tremors? Yeah, well then
you've seen fred Ward. Which one is he in Tremors? Uh?
He was the main guy along with the Bacon. Tremors
are the one with the worms like the underground desert monsters.
Fred Ward? You know fred Ward Classic? He was in Shortcuts.

(04:34):
Oh yeah, big square jawed, the player looking guy. Yeah,
of course, yeah, he's good. I like him, Time Writer.
Check it out, Time Writer. Um, it was really fun though, Chuck.
You You and I and and some other colleagues Alex
and uh gosh, Jerry of course shared a car on
the way back, and you kind of gave us the tour.

(04:56):
It was a lot of fun. The l A studio tour,
l A studio to or which you know, and that
you pay good money for those, and you really gave
us the full experience. Yeah, the Warner lot and some
of your experiences working on pictures there Universal Studios. And
then I did something I don't do. I ghosted you
guys so hard, with good reason. We went to a

(05:18):
bar afterwards, everyone in Hollywood, and I walked in and
it smelled like, uh, it smelled like there had been
a sewage burst at some point that was in the carpet. Still,
it smells like shit, like literal ship. I thought it
was more of a vomb kind of smell. Really personally,
that was something going on. Man. I walked in and

(05:38):
I almost vomb it was. I went to the bathroom.
I saw Matt Frederick and I was like, dude, I
don't think I can stay in here. Um. And I
went outside to get some air and realized I need
to go home. I completely I I I relayed your
your condolence. How long did you guys stay there in
the voluntary um? You know, uh, full disclosure. I actually
left my kid in the hotel room and went down there.

(06:00):
She was just done around the corner and went down
there to hang out with you know, some of the
folks that were in from from out of town. Um.
I did a moratorium one night moratorium in my dry
January to have a couple of tiky drinks with the
with the with the gang. So he stayed for a bit.
I stayed for a literally one my time. I don't
how you can stand that some of those other folks
didn't notice. I was gown away. I'm gonna be having fun.

(06:22):
I was like, does no one smells? And then people
kept showing up. Lauren showed up, Holly showed up. You know,
Holly's got a discerning sense of smell. I was really surprised.
Maybe I think it's something you just kind of accept
and then you moved past it. You were not able
to do that. Um. Yeah, I had a great l
a experience, especially with my kid. Was our first time
we hiked up to Griffith Park Observatory. She hated every

(06:44):
step of the way until we got there, because it's
that's a pretty serious hike. You know, you can drive
that too, but it's to me, it's all about the
hike because they earn it when you get there, and
it's such a beautiful spot. That is one of my
favorite places in Los Angeles as I just love it
in the building, the architecture. See that from my the
window of my apartment. I could see from my kitchen
window that beautiful Hollywood signed in the observatory, so lovely.

(07:07):
We did the whole thing. We did the planetarium show,
super old school, the rotating orb thing. You know, it
was just great. They've got seated up a little bit,
but it still feels very old school um U. Then
I went to San Francisco for Sketch Fest. Uh stuff
you should know. Live was great. Movie Crush Live was
interesting and fun. Did not record it, by the way,

(07:29):
so uh, you're never gonna get to hear it everyone.
That is for the thirty six people that were in
that room, well those are a lucky and select few.
It was very loose and kind of goofy and fun.
But I ended up bringing a lot of my friends
on stage. I had been an Adam from Friendly Fire
and the Greatest gin Um. I had my friends How

(07:49):
Lublin and Mark Agliardi from We Got This with Mark
and How and my buddy Ben Acker and you know,
I was just texting all my buddies over there, said hey,
don't you just come and joined the pan. All well,
it sounds like a good time. It was a good time. Uh.
And then I went back to l A yesterday and
had my Scott Ackerman meeting an interview and he uh,

(08:13):
that was almost the Noel Helm scream it was. That
was sort of a internal screen, so that will have
already been out. I think I think that's coming out
actually this week. But um boy, just class act. It
was right up there with Ben Sinclair of High Maintenance
is like my personal high water marks for interviews. You know,

(08:35):
you don't get to sit down with your hero as much.
And I was a nervous I can't I bet, I
can't wait to hear it. I mean, I'm a huge,
huge fan from way back in the Mr. Show days.
He was a good guy man and just a sweet sweetheart.
And like you know, we were supposed to meet a
record from three to four, and our original meeting went
till about three fifteen, and we recorded to like five thirty,

(08:56):
and then he sat in there and just chitch at
it for another fifteen minutes after recorded and I was like, man,
thank you for your time, and he's like, that's a holiday. Yeah,
I got nothing going on, right, I said, well, thank
you for that too. But it was just so exciting
and he was so um prepared for the apartment and
to talk about that, like he had watched the night

(09:17):
before and read up on his Billy Wilder book. And
you know when guests take it seriously like that, it
makes a big deaf, you know. So he's the best.
I hope we're new pals. Yeah, well, you know, hook
me up, Chuck, take me to lunch with you guys.
I'm not going to press it, but I want to
be a pal. And then after that, I went to
It was kind of one of the great l A days.

(09:37):
I went to a wine bar, my favorite wine bar bar,
Covell and Let's feelis where you Sean will take care
of you. There, really good wine and it was flooded
with famous people. Jason man Zukas is over there. I
want to go talk to him because he almost came
on the show, like we had emailed about him coming on,
but he couldn't do it. Paul Shear has been on.
He was on a date. I was just waiting on

(09:59):
her to get up and go to the bathroom before
I went and talked. That finally happened. I went and
said hi to him. He was nice enough for some
random guy approaching him in a bar that says like, oh,
you're almost on my show and blah blah blah. Um.
He was fine. He was nice. He was in a
jerk or anything, but there was no love connection. That's fair,
that's fair. Kate Brillant was in there, the comedian who

(10:21):
uh had a very big role in the Tarantino film recently.
She played, I mean not a big part in the film,
but a big deal for her to get in that film. Um,
she was the ticket take her the movie theater when
um to see her own film. Actually watched that for
the second time on the plane back from my l

(10:42):
a week, which was really fun because there's so many
like you know, of the like Hollywood landmarks. That was
But yeah, Kate Brillant was in there. And then I
look around and guess who the funk walks by? Paul Shore? Guys,
what man Louise where in a head bandanna like it's seven?

(11:03):
Does that? Does he? Yeah? I think so? All right?
Well he did? He did that night, and he was
the Weise and it did not talk to him. No, No,
I wouldn't you know. He sort of has like a
natural sort of perimeter orb of like kind of you
know what I mean, you get too close? Yeah, every everyone.

(11:24):
I was doing this in real time on the Facebook
page and people are like, go get Pauly Shore on
the movie Crush. I was like, you can't really do that.
I don't know what else is he up to these days?
Did he made like a really bad horror movie that
looked really It's not like he's too busy, but you
know how it is like, Hey, you go to podcast,
you want to be on it? Like, you know, I
bet he doesn't even know what a podcast is. Shaw,
I'm just teaching. Uh. And then I went to dinner,

(11:48):
had a very nice, quiet dinner with Ben Harrison of
Friendly Fire and his lovely wife Rachel and where you go?
It was just great. We went to, uh, I mean,
I guess we plug in restaurants. Know. I always like
to know for my next trip where I should go.
Let me see what the name of this place. It
was called All Something, All Time and Let's Feels and
it was delicious and boy, we put a hurting on

(12:11):
the old Immigrant Express card American American. I went to
um the Magic Castle with like, yeah, how that pretty exciting. Um.
It was great. It was everything you'd expect from a
place called the Magic Castle. Had a wonderful time. We

(12:31):
went to brunch and then we went to like all
three shows. They do like a kind of a medium
up close magic show and room with maybe like around
thirty seats. I've been in there and that was really great.
That was maybe my favorite because the guy like levitated
a small table and then brought a kid up on say,
they really focus on the kids on Sunday because it's
the only day the kids are allowed at all, and
so they always reserve the first two rows for kids.

(12:53):
So they tend to include the kids pretty regularly and
every show, you know, I never noticed the two times
I went there were no kids. There's no kids allowed
any other time Sunday brunch. UM. So he had this
table with like a purple table cloth on, and he
put he held onto the edges of the table cloth
and just started kind of dancing with the table and
it was floating around. I was, I was, I mean,
it sounds silly, but I was almost moved to tears

(13:14):
By how badass it was, because I'm like, this is
not a prepared space. It was very much like an impromptu,
just kind of chart parlor. There's no wires. He was
moving his hands all around. I'm like, I don't know
how this works. I don't understand that. And I love that.
Moved to tears By Magic. Tears By Magic, that's your
autobiography now. And my kid had to kind of sit
separate because she got the front row and me and

(13:35):
my buddy who was with we're in the back row.
And he was the same way. He would be the
same like wide eyed wonder about the whole thing. And
it made me very happy and that was cool. And
then like he brought this little girl up and he
got hurt to do it. And she could do the
you know, she could levet take the table. She had
the gift. It's just I don't know how again, no
no idea how this ship works. But that's love that. Yeah,

(13:57):
she had the gifts. He gave it to her. He
sprinkled magic to stun her um and and then and
gave her the power. And then there was like a
super small parlor magic room where it's like maybe like
ten people. And this this twenty one year old kid
named um Kevin something who's been on the Penn and
Teller Um. It's called fool Me, I think it's what
it's called, where they have magicians present tricks to them

(14:18):
and they try to figure out what the trick is. Yeah,
I know that guy Kevin Magic Hands. Is that him? Yeah,
that's exactly right. But he's been on the show twice apparently,
and that's rare for them to bring somebody back a second,
and he fooled them both times. He did this one
trick where he gets the kids to pull a card
out of the deck and he shows them the card
and shows whoever they want to show the card he puts,

(14:39):
puts it back in the deck, and then he you know,
first first time he pulls it, just pulls it. Here's
your card, Yes, that's my card. Second time, the kid
kind of doesn't remember that which card it was. You
remembers the suit but not the number, and so he
pulls a card and it's the right suit but the
wrong number, and then he kind of shakes the card
and you literally see the cards move around on the

(15:00):
hard in the numbers like morph into the right number. Yeah,
but it's like, what is this the tiniest LCD screen?
I mean, ever, I guess it is, but it's man,
it was cool. Well I'll tell you what it's not.
Is real. Are you sure, Chuck? Are you sure? Because
I was pretty convinced. I'm not a synic. I love magic,
but it's yeah, it's always I know that, you know,
I know. But that's what they call suspension of disbelief.

(15:20):
It's like the movies makes it more fun. Yeah, exactly,
Kevin Magic hands, Kevin Magic Hands. Hat's off to you, sir,
hands off? All right, Noel, Did I cover everything here? So?
I think so? Manzukas caper Lamp probably sure, dinner all
My kid got to meet her favorite pop star in
the whole entire world, Billie Eilish. That's wonderful. There was

(15:41):
a we got a meet and greet at this concert
and she was moved to tears like I was for Magic.
That is super sweet, really great picture together, and um,
it was a really proud moment for me because she
handled it so beautifully and it was very meaningful for
her and I got to hook it up and then
we got to see her before that was really good show.

(16:02):
It was great. Really, I haven't heard anything, but not
to check it out, all right, nol Uh. We got
to wake up this morning to some sad news. The
great Terry Jones passed away. What I didn't know that
Monty Python, founder, director of my favorite Monty Python film,

(16:26):
The Life of Brian very sad form of dementia, died
at seventy seven, and so I just put a little
memorial post up and thought I'd read some of these
comments and dedicate the show to him. Dennis Michael Avery
says it's impossible to overstate the impact Terry Jones had
on me growing up. Of rarely laughed harder than watching
and re enacting Monty Python moments as a ten year old.

(16:49):
He taught me that you can use your brain to
cheer people up, that life is never too dark for
a cheerful moment of shared irreverence, rest his soul. Wow,
what's your favorite Monty Python movie? Well, as I just said, life,
that's your favorite entirely really not just partially? Well, I
mean one, Okay, give me your top three then uh
it would go Life of Brian, Holy grail. Um, I

(17:14):
don't know. I mean those are kind of the two
for me. What about Meaning of Life? The Meaning of
Life was okay. I always really liked that. I think
it was the age that I saw it. It has
a lot more kind of gross out humor in it
than I think most of their other stuff does, so
that grabbed me. It was fine. I didn't love it.
I definitely loved um Life of Brian, though it took
a while for me to get Life of Brian. It's

(17:36):
a movie for a bit of an older a movie
for year old. I discovered Monty Python like most people
did through you know, The Holy Grail. That one was
just enough of a mix of like high brow and
low brow humor that I think he grabbed me and
I was totally sold. Um. Then I discovered The Flying
Circus the TV show and love that. Life of Brian
I didn't really fully love until maybe a couple of years. Yeah.

(17:58):
I mean, you've got to get religious satire as an
older person a little more, but you also get things
like The Biggest dickth that's uh good stuff. Kent Campus
says impossible to overstate the impact they have my comedy
and more broadly, our culture on comedy. Not in my
comedy Flying Circus in Holy Grail or Touchstones for folks

(18:19):
of a certain age, could be used as measuring rods
of one's companion ability. Interesting a miserable way to go
for a brilliant comedian and storyteller. Be free. Yeah yeah,
I mean Flying Circus is up there beyond like a
third movie pick. That's what I would throw the Yeah. No,
it's fantastic, especially, I mean it's just the whole synthesis

(18:41):
of all of it, the way it all comes together,
like it's it's the template for stuff like a Mr.
Show or for like, you know, really heavy second kids
in the psychedelic word thing. Well, but it's got all
those crazy animations and Terry Gillian stuff with the transitions,
and it's just like it's set the tone for so
much weird comedy. I love it totally. Hannah Bussouri says

(19:03):
so sad to hear this. I love the Flying Circus
in the movies they made R I P. Terry Always
Look on the Bright Side of Death. And now for
something completely different, Ramsey, what's your favorite money byth that movie?
You into those? Oh yeah, I mean we watched The
Holy Grail a lot when we were kids. We watched
that one a lot too. You know. I think what
you said is like it takes a you know, life

(19:24):
of Brian you get when you get older you kind
of appreciate that a little bit differently than you do
because I mean, you have nights and in the Holy Grail,
I mean, what's not gonna like that? It was much
more made for not made for children. But you know, yeah,
I mean I always considered like Fish called Wanda and
and a lot of Terry Gilliam movies part of the

(19:46):
whole camp. But yeah, me too. But I I really
did enjoy The Holy Grail. I mean that's where really
where my love for those guys came from. But I'm
sure I love both of them. I mean, he isn't
able to quote Holy Grail almost by heart. I have
a really distinct memory from when my kid was little. Um,
not not too too long ago, but like she's eleven now,

(20:06):
I guess she was probably like maybe maybe eight. Um.
We were at dinner, a family dinner, and I thought
it was really she'd get a kick out of the
scene from Holy Crow where the rabbit um bites the
guy's head off, you know, the little rabbit and then
his head falls off. It freaked her out and she
started crying at this dinner table and I looked like
a real monster, which is funny because it's so like

(20:27):
unbelievably and to her again recently and she was like,
what was wrong with me? You know, because that's the
whole point. All of the violence is so cartoonist that
it's not disturbing or upsetting at all. You know, like
when the Night the Black Night gets his arms and
legs and stuff cut off, it's not like disturbing. It's
just dumb and funny and light and wonderful. And I

(20:48):
think one of my favorite moments. I mean, every time
you watch that movie still, like another part jumps out.
It's kind of like watching spinal tap um in that
scene where he is being uh, you know, slimmed one
by one. It's he's down to just the one leg
and he's hopping there and the swing and there's that
cut away for a second and you just hear the

(21:10):
thud and then it cuts back and he's of course
just playing it on the ground. Yeah, so good. What
do you say? Sellen carl Center, old friend says, my
favorite python brilliant storyteller, director and author I recommend everyone
watch Eric the Viking. Oh did he direct that? I
bet he did. I'm not sure if I knew that?

(21:32):
What is that? What era is that? Uh? I mean,
I don't think it was a Monty Python film. I
think it was Tim Robbins and the late eighties maybe
early nineties, I want to say late eighties Terry Jones
written and directed. That's great, really good to know. Though,
there's a fresh one for me to check out, because

(21:52):
I have not even heard of this fresh out of
the oven from exactly Randy Rodriguez says, dementia all forms
is a nightmare diagnosis, very sad and painful. It was
almost a relief when my wife's grandmother died because she
was no longer suffering. And that's what's so sad about
this disease. As a person afflicted sometimes is inconsolable, and

(22:15):
you could not find relief from it. Loved the movies
and hopefully he can rest peacefully now. Indeed, it's a
bad way to go, folks. Um Noah Cornick just has
a quote, someday all of this will be yours. What
the curtains when they're motioning through the window out of
the castle, great, great, big tracts, a huge trucks of land.

(22:39):
Zack Pointer rest in peace. Thanks for the laughs. And
we'll finish up with Scott Field. The scene in Life
of Brian when the Wise Men stop at the Cohen
House and still one of my favorite scenes from any
is still one of my favorites from any scene ever.
R I P. Mandy Cohen. All right, good stuff, very sad.

(23:07):
So now we're gonna finish up with a couple of
uh recommendations for me for stream this. And you guys,
if you've been watching something on the plane, you know,
get those cross country flights. Flew to Seattle, then down
to l A, then back up to San Francisco, then
back down to l A, then back home to Atlanta.
So I had plenty of watching opportunities, and I watched

(23:29):
a couple of great documentaries, one called Framing John DeLorean, uh,
which is which is a weird sort of documentary and
that it's part documentary, part recreation with Alec Baldwin as
John de Lorean, but then behind the scenes of shooting
the recreations, like Alec Baldwin in the makeup chair talking
about De Lorian and stuff. But it manages to work Um,

(23:52):
it's a incredibly compelling story this guy's life, and I
know a touch of it, Like I know he did
something weird and shady, right or well, I mean he
invented the DeLorean, and which of course from Back to
the Future. That's very ironically that movie came out after
the Doloran car had crashed and burned, so it's a
little late. Uh. And then he was involved in a

(24:13):
cocaine deal, um to try and raise money to help
his struggling car company. Was acquitted. Um. He lived like
one township away from me in New Jersey where I lived.
He lived in Bedminster. Um. But really just it's got
it all. It's got cars and ladies and and drugs
and the c I A and d e A and

(24:33):
FBI and uh, you know South American drug lords and
really really compelling story, very cool, and a movie I
watched yesterday another documentary that I cannot recommend enough called
General Magic, and it is about the company General Magic
that was spun out of Apple in the late eighties
and they essentially designed the first smartphone in nine. Um,

(25:00):
it was just too soon. Brilliant people, brilliant concept. But
it was the Internet killed it that it was a
closed system and the Internet, the Worldwide Web, gets invented,
uh and you know, so this thing couldn't connect to that,
and people didn't buy it. It was a little too expensive,

(25:23):
a little too clunky at first, but conceptually it was
all there. When you look at the designs, it was
a fucking iPhone and all of the people it's really
need at the end, all of the people that worked
on that team, these kids in Silicon Valley went on.
You know, it's like Twitter CEO and co founder, founder
of Nest, inventor of iPod, uh Obama's first chief technology officer,

(25:45):
and they're like, all of them did brilliant things. Is
there a sense that that really did lay the groundwork
for like what the iPhone? Yeah, it's really really good.
That sounds cool. I saw the little thumbnail for both
of those. Good man, such a good story and really
really good stuff. What about you, guys, what you've been watching?
I've been watching. I finished it and then I'm onto

(26:05):
another thing that two things that I've been meaning to
watch for a long time, The Leftovers on HBO, which
is Dane series that he did before watch Man. Yeah,
I didn't watch that. I heard it was great. It's phenomenal. Yeah,
it's it's so good. I had heard from so many
people that like it. It like after season one it
became some of the best television they've ever seen, and

(26:27):
I thought, oh, it's hyperbole, you know, but it's really true. Yeah,
and it's got my boy. I love that guy at
the lead. Justin Threw fantastic is one of my favorite.
It's so good. Season two is better than season one.
Season three is better than season two. It really ramps up,
and just three broadens the world a lot. Yes, and
it does that thing that Lost kind of gets shipped
on for not doing We're Lost kind of wrote a

(26:48):
check that it couldn't cash and it sort of seems
like it ran a steam before it had enough time
to really take you where the mystery promised it would
take you. But Leftovers can cash it big time. Oh wow,
big time, I think, so, yeah, maybe I should get
Really and it's only three seasons, they're not mega long,
you know, they I really really recommend it. It's a
it's a quick one. HBO for sticking by their man

(27:11):
and not pushing the second season of me that sucks.
You won't get it, but it does suck. He had
said that on the Watchman podcast, you know, because um
Craig Mason was asking him about what season two would
look like, and uh, he said, you know, my idea
for the rep season one was so big and important

(27:31):
to me and zeitgeiste that you know, that was the
show that I was going to make, and that's what
I thought of it as like a self contained thing.
I have mixed feelings. I mean, I'm disappointed because I
love um Regina King and her character and I would
love to see more of that. And I thought the
world they set up was so cool and really honor
the original material. But you know, there's there's something to
be said for doing a really great thing and just

(27:54):
letting it be that thing. It takes a lot of
self control and totally of discipline, and you never that
from studios. So they obviously really respect and appreciate Linda
Oft enough that they're like, they didn't want to shoot
on his vision by putting somebody else in the chair.
So I appreciated that. Rames he even watching anything. Yeah,
it started the Outsider um which is on HBO. It's

(28:15):
Jason Bateman. Um, I think it's his pet project. Steen
King short story. Really Yeah, it has a new right Yeah. Yeah,
there's only three episodes out, but it has that true
detective vibe to it, but it's a little bit more
supernatural because of the character and trailer looked cool. Yeah.

(28:39):
How many episodes have you seen? I've seen all three.
Is it good? Yeah? Yeah, enjoyed it. I mean if
you like Jason Bateman like art, I mean, it's it's
right there. He has that. He's that's the character. He's
not doing like you know, rested development type stuff. Yeah,
it's been cool to see his development. Like I think
Jason Bateman is so great at the comedy stuff and
he does his Bateman thing. You know, he's a great

(29:00):
straight man like his his comedy is perfect. But it's
good to see that his development has not been arrested
nout for you to go been Yeah. Yeah, sure he's great.
So he's he's been awesome and things he's been doing.
But yeah, man, that guy blew up. Huh he's good.
Which want is he? He's in everything he's talking about. Yeah,

(29:25):
you'd recognize him. He's in like everything right now. See
look there to your right that guy. Yeah, okay, okay.
Also been catching up on better call Saul. If you
guys haven't seen that, it's it's almost, I would say,
very much equal in quality to Breaking Back. I never
saw it, and it's the kind of thing where one
day I know I'm going to go back and just
watch it all. That's how it was for me. I

(29:46):
stopped for no good reason. It was great, but I
just moved on to something else. I got distracted or whatever.
So now I'm like in it hardcore and it's just
really great. Yeah, I need to do that. Auckerman does
a great Odin Kirk impression. Um, but but he doesn't
set it up. It's like I'm gonna do an impression.
He's just telling a story about how Odin Kirk helped
him poster his career, and he would just go into

(30:07):
the voice and I just couldn't take it. Man, it's
very distinct Odin Kirky sort of way of speaking. Uh
so you do have to go, Noel, So why don't
we just wrap? I told him I was running a
little late. It's that's fine. I appreciate it. The next
episode will just be me and the ram Jams. Big
debut is number two, Ramma Lama Ding Dong. If you do. Uh,

(30:27):
if you do, really well, maybe we can just forget
an old existed. You can't do that. You can't revise history.
You have a show called revisionist history. That's not what
it's called. It's called ridiculous history. Revisionist history is much
more popular. Smell, I'm glad. Well, I'm getting all my
my podcast. He was confused. Someone posted on the page
you ever seen that g I F of that girl

(30:49):
tripping at the with the popcorn at the movie there
I feel bad for but it's it's one of the
best face plans of all time. Have you ever seen
a ram Just look at this and that a Ramsey
is someone where she's like losing her mind. Oh no,
this is a different one. That's a good one. And
and I'm not I'm not one to generally take delight

(31:10):
in someone's misfortune. But it's a soft carpet she doesn't
like she got. But Chuck, did you just call it
a g I F? I don't know how to say it,
And so I just say, g I F. I can
respect that. The gift Jeff thing I never remember. So
I just said, Jeff, I don't like these things. I
don't post them. You're anti, you're anti Jeff. I have

(31:31):
never posted a Jeff or a mem a in my life.
I have not. It's the cheapest form, and here I
am laughing at it. Not only that a terrible one
of a young lady falling down. She's probably fine, she is.
It's just that popcorn goes everywhere, so bad for oh Man,
all right, good stuff. I got sidetracked by that. I

(31:53):
was like a little like a monkey in a cage
that saw something shiny. Thanks everyone, This one was a
shorter side because Noel screwed me today by double booking.
And uh we will see you next week. For more
