Episode Transcript

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

(00:29):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Many Crush. Quarantine Edition. Another
Quarantine Edition. Hello Noel, Hi Chuck. Oh boy, is that
where you're at? I mean, you know, when you put
it like that, it's hard not to another. It makes
me think of like this is the new way the

(00:50):
quarantin you know, remember, it reminds me of like transmissions
you'd hear, like you'd pick up from some like you know, Maroon,
like Space Traveler. That's like day three. You still here, ye,
still still doing the thing, create a sense of normalcy,

(01:11):
so I don't lose my mind. They're like, what was
that movie with with Tom Hanks where he's got the
beach Ball? Oh, Turner and Whoche. That's the one. That's
one where he had his partner of the beach Ball
that he would solve crimes with his partner's partner. Rouch. Yeah.
A delightful film, a real romp, the beach Ball. Yeah.

(01:31):
So uh, First of all, it is April one as
we record this, and it's funny and old to think
back that a year ago today, the most the biggest
thing movie crushers had to be upset about was being
tricked by Kevin Pollock. That's Christopher Walking. That was a
dirty trick, Chuck, simpler times. I know, Gosh, you're right, hey,

(01:52):
fall only I pine for the glory days of being
conned by Christopher walkin folk Christopher Walking. Yeah. Man. Uh
So here's what's been going on you guys lately? Is uh?
I think there's there are a lot of artistic types
that are diving into projects right now, which is kind
of neat, Like, I hope people are using this time

(02:13):
to the best of their ability and trying to be
positive about things. So I have this recording unit that
Noel hooked me up with called a Spire and Buzz Marketing.
The Spire s P I R E. And it is
a great little unit. And I think we mentioned last
time that we I recorded some music just for frenzies.
I just sat in one take and did a little,

(02:34):
uh stripped down kind of country version of the You
two song in God's Country, and I sent it to
you and you have put that baby to eleven. Thanks man.
I spent a lot of time with it. It's been
nice to just have like a foundational thing to build off.
I realized that's what I was always pretty good. At
was like taking something somebody else did and then just

(02:55):
kind of going to town on it. Uh. And honestly,
I have to thank you, because, you know, I kind
of been getting my home recording set up up to
snuff and put him playing a lot of guitar, and
I got a bunch of cool, like fun noise making
pedals for like shimmery reverbs and delays, and I put
all that ship on this tack. It is very layered
and very lush, and uh, I think we we should

(03:16):
let the movie crushers hear it, so totally. Yeah, yeah,
I'm putting the finishing touches on it. There's a couple
of little things I want to add a few things
I took away because it is layered, but things come
and go. It doesn't just like blow you blow your
head off with like too much stuff, you know. I
try to make it kind of ebb and flow and
have like some space to build. So that's it's been

(03:37):
really fun. I worked on until six in the morning
the other day. I sat in my room and just
worked crazy. It was really cool. And I assume this
is without the aid of cocaine. Cocaine sure, whatever you
whatever you need to, whatever helps you sleep, right. Um So,
so we have recorded this song together, as it turns out,

(03:57):
but apart, and I think we're gonna let the movie
Crushers year and I've been trying to look for another
one to pick out, another kind of stripped down country
fried diversion of something else, and I'm going to send
that to you and you never know. I think we
should release this under the banner velvet half fuck. You're
the half fuck. Yeah, I remember old half fuck Chuck.

(04:20):
I do remember that, Yeah, smoky velvet. No. And then
I tell you I haven't actually done it yet, but
I've been reached out to by a handful of Crushers
on the PlayStation network to do a little group gaming,
and I just had. The timing hasn't been quite right,
but I can't remember the user names right off the bat,
but there are at least three or four that friend
requested me and I accepted, and I'm ready to go.

(04:41):
But you know, I'm lucky. I don want to see
like I'm I'm bitching like I I do have to
continue doing my normal work, so I can't just like
game whenever, but like after certain hours if you catch
me I absolutely play a Borderland sesh with you. And
I also just got the free call of do the
war Zone game, which is kind of like a giant

(05:03):
map like uh uh Fortnite that when the kids really like,
but this one's more, you know, realistic army type shooty stuff.
And honestly, I tend to not play those types of
group games because I'm not very good and I get
sniped like instantly, and it just hurts my feelings. Uh.
And also a lot of people on those games not
very nice, Chuck. They say a lot of they say
a lot of naughty words, and they say some things

(05:24):
that are not particularly nice about women and people of
other persuasions. It's a it's a bit of a cesspool
of scum and villainy. I know none of you crushers
out there like that, but let us know what you think.
If you're into those games, how do you deal with
those trolls? Why do you Why didn't dickheads have to
ruin everything exactly and then and then they snipe you?
They had insult to injury by sniping your ass in

(05:46):
two seconds? How old are these people do you think?
I think a lot of them are younger, and I
think a lot of them are just in a state
of arrested development. Are like creepy in cells that probably
shouldn't you know, just don't get out. They just this
is how they creepy and cells. Um So I finished
a Call of Duty World War two and like a week, uh,

(06:08):
it turns out that a Nazi one is it? What
is that? A Nazi one? Is it? Like? Yeah, yeah,
I mean I just had a good time just wasting Nazis.
But it's it was over very fast, like usually you
can't finish the game like that and that much time.
But um, and it was also the you only had
the choice of first person perspective, which I'm not a

(06:30):
fan of. I'm a better fan of, like the Red
Dead perspective, which is totally I don't know what it's called.
But third person. Yeah, where you can that's what's not
that's what's called in the parlance of gamah, yeah, like
where you can see yourself. But you're also you know,
in control of some games let you switch, which is
a lot of fun. You know Read Dead does actually,

(06:53):
But I just I've never been a huge fan of
the first person Chuck. I think the reason that your
Call of Duty game was so unsatisfyingly short is those
games really do lean on the multiplayer experience more than
they do the story experience. The story is kind of
almost an afterthought. And so what does multiplayer mean? I
get online and all of a sudden, all the guys

(07:13):
in the platoon are real people. Yeah, and all the
nerds are cursing at you and shooting at you. You
usually do deathmatches. You can have like a team, but
usually it's like you're fighting against other people who kill
you like instantly and then laugh over your course. I'm
not Yeah, I'm not good enough for That's what I'm saying.
These people play all day every day. It's like a lifestyle. Nope,

(07:34):
don't even try to go toe to toe brother, No,
thank you. All right, so we've wasted enough time. Let's
get it going here with some uh quarantine addish stuffy
and hopefully this serves as a distraction and as a
because I'm asking people sort of quarantine e questions because
that's where you're all at, man, that's the human condition
right now. So we started it off with a very

(07:57):
simple question, l are there any movies that you absolutely
are trying to avoid and not watch? Right? Now, um,
obviously a movie like Contagion, some people would really like
to see that. Some people absolutely would not outbreak. Perhaps
remember that one with Dustin Hoffman. Sure about the monkey.
It was the monkey's fault in that one. So we're

(08:18):
gonna get it started here, and this will lead to
a quick side convo, I'm sure from Genesis. Chapman says,
on all honesty, it may be just me and my wife,
but Tiger King we gave it less than five minutes,
looked at each other and said, I really don't want
to watch that. Oh that's a mistake. It evolves, It evolves,

(08:38):
you know what. Dude, though I'm on episode three and
I'm kind of done with it. That's fair, it's it's
it's a certain thing for sure, Like, uh, it makes
me think of like a really elaborate Harmony Curran movie
that is actually real, you know, Like that's that's some
Sometimes sometimes that's not for everybody. It picks people out.
I I take a little shot in Freud from it,

(08:59):
and I just find the filmmaking really great, and the
fact that this guy managed to capture this batshit story
I just find really fascinating. So that that's that's my take,
I haven't finished it yet. Yeah. I think where I'm
at is do I want to spend my time watching
gross awful people doing gross awful things? And I don't
think I really want to spend my time doing that

(09:19):
right now, But I get like people are into it.
It's like a Harmony Crean movie that really happened. So Genesis,
I'm kind of with you there, and and I should
finish Genesis is Genesis statement After about twenty seconds, I
was so repulsed and realized I have so much disappointment
and discussed in the human race these days. I really

(09:39):
don't need anymore. So and yet it seems like so
many people are taking a lot of comfort in this
fucking thing. Have you noticed all the memes? And people
are just going bonkers for it? I know, uh yeah,
I get to each their own. I guess I'm not
gonna yuck someone's young. So there was a there was
a meme where it was like Trump whispering to one
of his you know, captain member saying, release the Tiger documentary,

(10:03):
like the world's going to ship. We need we need
some comfort. That's pretty funny, all right, Old pal Kristen
Glenn kissed her says, I made the mistake of reading
and then watching The Shining during springbreak when I was sixteen.

(10:23):
Not a movie I want to revisit right now, all right, yeah,
hold up in a house, I get it. Emily Newton
says hereditary because I'm alone and don't want to scare
myself to death. Uh yeah, you know, I haven't really
thought about people that are quarantined literally by themselves right now.
That's that can't be easy, you know. Uh. You know,

(10:43):
I've got my family here, which is great. Uh So
to all of you out there that are that are
doing this alone, hats off to you, because that's you're
you're doing the right thing, and that's that's a tough
thing to do right now for you. Imagine, I'm really lucky.
I mean, I have a roommate. Um but yeahs I'll
I'll be real for a second. Uh my, you know,
my daughter stays with me a lot of the week normally,

(11:04):
and her mom and I made the decision because my
roommate works in a courthouse and has has been required
to go back to work. He doesn't work for the state,
arts for a law firm and does like uh legal
document polls from these record rooms that um work, my
daughter's gonna stay with her mom. Uh, not indefinitely, but
like at least first solid two weeks until we kind

(11:25):
of reassess what's going on, because she's just you know,
she has a baby and uh it just doesn't want
to take any chances. And I totally get that, but
it's also kind of a bummer because she was one
thing that was really making this a little more bearable
for me, having like, you know, she's eleven and she's
really like my my pal and we you know, play
video games together and like do stuff and take walks
and like she's just the best. So a lot of

(11:47):
face timing will be in the next couple of weeks.
But that was kind of a blow. Yeah, man, I
wasn't gonna mention that because I didn't know if you
wanted that out there, but you were. You and I
were chextinging about that last night, and it's, uh, that's
just tough, dude. I'm really sorry. Um, you guys are
probably doing the right thing, but it's just that is
that is very, very tough. And just know that you've

(12:08):
got a very long life with this kid, and this
old will be a little blip totally, and then there's
no ill will. It's no like her mom is keeping
her from me. It was a decision we made mutually,
and I completely support her because you know, she's got
a young child and just wants to make sure that
and we are so little we know about this damn thing.
I just think abundance of caution is the right move

(12:30):
right now, you know, exactly all right, let's go with
our oldest of friends, a little lady name Rebecca the
Robester Robes. Uh. Any kind of real life type drama
about a sibling, parent, or child dying, give me ridiculous
or impossible right now? Not highly probable. Yeah, we definitely

(12:53):
don't watch My Girl. Don't watch No My Girl. Probably
probably not a good movie to watch. Let me see here.
Grant Woody, one of our old friends, says, uh, definitely
leaning away from dystopian films with society falls a setting
like the Road Book of Eli, even the Lego movie too. Uh. Yeah,
I haven't seen those Lego movies or heard those are good,
though they are delightful. You know what I'm gonna watch

(13:18):
finally with my daughter nol That which the Gibili one
that everyone says it's so great to Toro. Yeah, my neighbor, Totoro. Yeah,
it's fantastic. They're all good. She would also really like Ponio,
which is sort of a little mermaid esque story about
a little fish girl. But it's so cute and it's
very age appropriate that that's the first one that my
kid just went bananas over because the little fish girl

(13:41):
is just the cutest little thing, looks almost like a
hand puppet. Um and Totoro is awesome with the big
cat dog creature and there's like a bust that looks
like a cat and just very magical. Those those are
all fabulous too. For a it is, Yeah, that one is.
There's only a few that are like like there's a
princess Mononoke has got some gore. That one's a little

(14:02):
more PG. Thirteen, but Um Totoro is age appropriate. There's
one called um kikiS Delivery Service that's about a young
witch sort of like a teen which kikiS Delivery Service.
She'd like that one too, very cool female, tough female
character and she's got a little cat that she talks to.
And really recommend Ponio. That one, my my kid. I
think I should watched that when she was like four

(14:24):
or five, and she just immediately loved it when went
eight four it. Yeah, I'll definitely check those out because
all the movie crushers love those movies. The only bummer
is I don't know where you can stream them. I
think you have to like buy them, and they're a
little pricey. There's no they're like, there's no like middle
ground for those Ghibli movies. I wish there was a
Ghibli streaming service on its song because they've got a
lot of content. But I'm sure you can find it.

(14:46):
I'll just buy him, like, yep. It helps to have
those in the collection, you know. Absolutely. Let's continue here
with Brian Basse. Top Fans says it comes at night
contagion type movie, but very real and to too far
from our current situation. Did you see that, Chuck? Fuck? Yeah,
it was awesome. It was great great. It was like

(15:08):
an invisible killer where you didn't even quite know what
was going on. It was like sort of like there
was an event and he didn't really know what the
deal was and that was really really great. Yeah, yeah,
like not knowing it was kind of cool. Cable Morris's
Cabin Fever remarkable movie, but the way the disease is
depicted his Soubit's role. Can't think of anything that would
unnerve me more, right, I mean silver lining is this

(15:30):
coronavirus doesn't melt our flesh off of our bodies. That's
pretty cool. At least there's that. Yeah, for sure, let
me see here. Um of course, disaster movies San Andreas
twelve that comes from CAROLEE Stevens. Joey Masterson says, I
don't think any movie should be off the table. Movies

(15:51):
are an escape from the harsh realities of Now. Sure,
I'll get that in a way. I could watch whatever.
I'm not too affected by that stuff. No, no, I
and a lot of people are doing this. There's this
like this browser extension for Netflix to let you do
like Netflix watch parties. Have you heard about this? Yeah, man,
I thought about doing that with the movie Crushers. It

(16:13):
seems like it would be a chaotic disaster though with
that many people. Yeah, I think it's probably designed more
for like groups of ten or ish. You know, like
there's a chat. I don't think you're actually talking. I
think it's just a chat like sidebarns. Yeah, anyway, a
friend of mine tried watching Candy Man with some of

(16:34):
her friends and she's not a fan of horror movies
in general, and was like, oh, I'll give it a try,
and it apparently was not fun for her. I watched
that one pretty recently and it holds up. It's pretty spooky.
Oh yeah, yeah, have you seen the remake trailer? I did?
I did. I think it looks pretty cool. I agree,
and I know that Jordan Peel has something to do

(16:55):
with it, so, um, it's a cool story. It's like
it's like a cool urban or kind of I say urban,
not like using that horrible stand in for like hip hop.
I just mean it takes place in like an inner
city in this project called Cabrini Green. Um. Oh sure,
I know about Cabrini Green legend area area. So all

(17:16):
right now we're gonna move on to We're gonna do
a little stream this to set up the next segment,
because I asked people what they were bening on TV
and to rate them by thumbs, just so people have
some good recommendations. Um, I have been watching Tiger King
a little bit. I told you I've been watching Dev's
and uh, that's kind of where we are right now.

(17:38):
I just don't know whether or not a habit in
me to finish Tiger King. I do like the story,
but it's just that trashy rednecks doing bad things to
animals is just tough for me right now. That's the kicker. Yeah,
you're right, that part does does bother me, and it's
hard to kind of power through. But you are rewarded.
I don't know how far you've gotten, but there's some

(17:59):
twists that are pretty fantastic. How many episodes are there? Total? Seven?
I think? Alright, well I'm on like four. I might
as old as fucking finish it, you know. And the
kid that works at Walmart is the saving grace of
the whole movie. I haven't seen that yet at all. Okay, yeah,
well there you go. All right. What have you been watching? Well?

(18:20):
I I blasted through the new season of Ozark. I'm
kind of bummed that I did, because now I've got
no more left and there won't be more of that
show for like a year or more. God, with all
this stuff and production, you watched it all. I watched
it all in a couple of days. Yeah, I was
just I really got into that show. I mean it's
just like it's so good. It's we haven't watched that
any yet. We're kind of waiting to finish Dev's. I

(18:41):
think before we died Devs will be next for me. Um.
I was really intrigued on that one from the start.
But yeah, I think the new season of Ozark is
maybe the best yet. There's a new character that's introduced
that is heartbreaking and just beautifully acted. Really, come man,
it won't tell you anything, but wait, love love, love

(19:03):
that show. Um. So we'll move on into the recommendations
here from the crushers. Uh. And I asked for the
thumbs and some people aren't thumbing it, so that makes
me very upset. So if you didn't give a thumbs rating,
then you're not gonna get red. Shame on you for shame.
Fight my thumb at you for not using thumbs. Oldest

(19:23):
of Bels, Aaron Snell says Banda Brothers. I never saw that.
I need to check that out. He gives it four
and a half thumbs. Uh. He said, I'd didg it
a bit for being dated, but it's such a good
show and historically accurate. I wonder how it's dated. I mean,
it's it's it's a it's a period piece, right, isn't it. Yeah,
but maybe you know there's something about shows from certain
eras that might just be dated. That's true. I mean

(19:44):
when we were made, not when it's set. So maybe
that's what it is. Or maybe he just means there's
not enough you know, good hard sex. That must be it.
Victoria Reid says, Ship's Creek. I need to check that out.
Everyone says it's great. Uh. She said it's adding levity
to her life and streaming Ozark and Tiger King and

(20:04):
five out of five thumbs on all of the above. See. Now,
it's funny, Chuck that you said you don't like watching
terrible people doing terrible things like yet you like Ozark.
There's also a lot of rednecks doing rednecky terrible things
in that too. Yeah, but that's fiction. That's totally different.
Oh okay, you draw the line. I do. But when
I know it's really happening, it's it's upsetting to me.

(20:26):
I got you, I got you. Let me see here.
Our old friend Hanu vis Ri says this, uh friends
three and a half thumbs. Um, I t crew crowd,
you know, is that a thing? Yeah, it's a British show.
It's fabulous, you'd love it. Chuck Richard Iowatti, who is

(20:51):
a really good director in his own right. He did
a movie called The Double, in a movie called Submarine. Um.
He plays this nerdy characters, these two guys that work
in like an I T office of a big company.
And it's just good, delightful, goofy British humor. It's really
really good. I dude love that. Let me see here.
Our oldest of friends, Vanessa Lopez. Hey, Vanessa says, Ship's
Creek all the thumbs and Zoe's Extraordinary Playlists four thumbs.

(21:14):
It's silly but surprisingly sweet. I need to see Ship's Creek, Noll.
Have you seen it? It's got all the people I
love it does, and I tell you that's why I
was a little surprised that I kind of lost me
when I watched the first few episodes. But apparently it
gets really good. Uh, and I need to give another chance.
All right, I'll check it out. Our old friend Roger
Dodger says, is the assumption here that people aren't working.

(21:36):
It seems like almost everyone I know is working from home,
including myself, so not having a commute just allows for
one extra show per night for me, so I'm not
really binging well, Roger very sadly, many, many, many people
are not able to work right now. That's just the
reality of it. If you are able to work from home,
then you're one of the lucky ones. My friend, like

(21:57):
I said, my my daughter's mom is a massage therapist
and owns her own business. She's done for the time being,
and her husband works in film, which is done for
the time being. So they are absolutely just working on
garden projects and collecting unemployment. You know, I mean that
is a huge what was it, thirty million people applied
for unemployment. I mean it's a thing. Yeah, yeah, it

(22:18):
is a thing. Richard Mars still says the Americans four
out of five. Bit of a slow burn, but well written,
has a great cast and really solid Reagan era soundtrack. Uh,
Emily watched all that. She loved it. I just I
think she started it without me, and so I just
never got to get in and catch up with her.
But she loved it. They're like spies, right, have they spies?

(22:38):
Russian expression spies. Yeah I haven't. I haven't heard really
good things, heard really good things. Grant Wood he says
he's rewatching Brooklyn nine nine because it's such a like escape,
you know. I'll watched the first We watched the first
like two or three seasons of that and really liked it.
I don't know why we stopped. It was very funny show.
There's a lot of seasons of that show. It's like
eight or nine seasons something. It's been going on for

(23:00):
a long time. Yeah, it was great, and it got
it got dropped for a minute and then picked back
up or something like something happened where I got like
canceled and then remember there was there was like an outrage,
you know, and then they picked it back up or
renewed it, or another network got it or switched networks.
Maybe I don't remember exactly one of those things. I
wonder it was a Fox show. I wonder if it

(23:21):
went over to X or something. It might have been that.
I I don't remember the details, but there was a
hubbub when they got canceled because people really love that show.
I like Andy Sandburg. I've loved them since, like the
Lonely Island Days on YouTube. Like these guys are fantastic.
Brian Ridge says, watch Tiger King two out of five
but entertaining, and The Outsider solid four or five. We

(23:41):
were watching The Outsider and then just kind of stopped.
I've heard that it the first two or three episodes
are just really gripping and edge of your seat, and
then it sort of falls off. Even Ramsey said that,
and I read a few reviews that said that too.
But um, I want to I want to get into
it because I've got my Jason Bateman because I need
to get now. So now that I blasted through Ozark, yeah, well,

(24:07):
I don't want to ruin anything for you. I just
I don't know. It really lost me after a few episodes.
It wasn't moving along quickly enough like I wanted a
little bit more. Like I feel like entire episodes would
go by and you wouldn't learn many new things. So
that's why I stopped. I've I've done that for a
few shows though, where I like watched the first few
episodes and kind of fell off, and then revisit it

(24:30):
later and I find something that I may be missed
the first time. But that sounds like this is kind
of the consensus about this show, that like the first
three or great, and then something happens the vibe changes
and it sort of drops off like they run out
of ideas or something like that. Yeah, let me see here,
Melissa Mgain says Jack Ryan on Amazon really loved it
for an action show, five thumbs up. Alright, I haven't

(24:51):
seen that yet. I do like uh Krasinski though, oh yeah,
yeah yeah him is a badass. Like you know what.
Tom k Anty character always struck me as a little interesting,
and I'd like I think he I'd like to see it,
I really would. I've been seeing it pop up on
the recommendations on the I've Got a Fire TV and
so it like you know, spams you with all their

(25:11):
original content at the top, so I might check it out.
Was have you seen the Krazinski is doing that good
news thing from his house? It's very sweet. It is
very sweet. And I watched that first episode with Steve
Carell and it was just great to see those guys
hanging his friends. I love it. Brandon McDonald just finished
watching Boy Meets World for the up tea time. I

(25:33):
needed something light and silly. Five out of five bombs.
I had such a crush on to Panga. That was
age appropriate, you know, Like I had a huge crush
on to Panga, and I was always like, Corey is
such a nerd. How did he get to Panga? She
is so out of his league. I never saw that show. Okay,
so you don't know what I'm talking about. No, that
was too old as far as you're concerned. Topanga as

(25:53):
a canyon in Los Angeles. I was gonna say, carry
O'Neil says Tiger King. Check make King a murderer? Part two.
I did not know there was a part two. Is
it a different story? I don't know. It might just
be coninuation because there was some more legal news about that.
I know. I have a hard time going back to
a show because I remember years ago we watched and

(26:16):
this was kind of before the big true crime wave.
That was a documentary series called The Staircase. That was
with the nuns, right no, no, no, no no no. This
was about a man who may or may not have
killed his wife, um and it was really good. There
was one with nuns and like abuse in Catholic schools

(26:37):
that that came out not too too long ago, that
had a name kind of like the Staircase. You're looking
at sister at two back in the habit, that's the
one WHOOPI is a revelation in that not to mention
it when a a young Lauren Hill finds her voice
and sings his Eyes on the Sparrow and wins the
Oh yeah, yeah, she wins. She wins the day, Chuck,
she wins the day. She's great. Was it miseducation? Uh,

(27:03):
it was a re education. If you've forgotten about Lauren Hill,
you should remember her because she's awesome. Very nice way
to roll with it. But the Staircase they went back
and had a not a sequel, but just a continuation
years later. And I just I don't know. Once I've
seen something, I'm kind of like, I'll just read about
it in the news. Something new happens. Yeah, I'm gonna

(27:26):
look up, see what do you get to search terms for.
I do know what you're talking about though, with the
with the none one, I'm just having in none Depressing Netflix,
it was really good. It was called The Keeper. Came
right up with none Depressing Netflix. It was infuriating. So yeah, yeah, uh,

(27:49):
Emily Grant says, just now finishing Veep, solid five thumbs up. Yeah.
VIEP is one of the great shows of all time.
I think we talked about this on the show before,
but I think it has the most jokes, like per
second of any show. It's just bam. But have you
seen that new one from him on HBO, the Space one.
It's called Avenue nine or it's it's a weird name

(28:10):
that I can never remember because it doesn't make me
think of space at all. But it's got Hugh Laurie
is in it. From the House and uh I heard
it wasn't good, but it's it's it's that guy Antonio
and Nucci or whatever or whatever his first name is,
who did Veep and also Death of Stalin, both of
which I adore. Like, yeah, it's great. He's got another one.

(28:32):
He's got another one called like the Loop that's about
like Washington politics. That was pre or maybe it's about
British politics anyway, something about politics, but it's pre Veep.
But love that guy. Man. He's a fascinating dude. Yeah.
And the writing is just unlike, it's intimidating, as a
fellow screenwriter of sorts, very intimidating to that good. He

(28:54):
writes good, he writes real good. Alex Galthier says, the
Man in the High Castle, I've still never seen that
he says four point to five mangled bumbs. Oh yeah,
see what about this one? Um? The hunters have you
seen this with Alpacino? Haven't seen it? They're like not

(29:14):
not Nazi hunters. It's really heavy, man, and they do
a lot of revisionist history where they like make up
new atrocities for the Nazis to have meant to be,
to have committed, uh that are really that are really
like um almost like saw, like the Saw movies or
something like really twisted. And I think that there's a
museum for Auschwitz or bergen Belson or one of those

(29:37):
those uh, you know, the most notable UM death camps,
the most horrific ones that had a real problem with it,
where it's like making up new atrocities to you know,
feed people's trashy imaginations as a disservice to the victims
of you know, these actual death camps. And I don't
I don't entirely disagree, but it is fiction, so maybe,

(29:59):
you know, maybe cool it a little bit, but I
don't know. It's heavy, heavy stuff. It's that people are
going to be polarized by it. Everyone's got an opinion
these days. No, have you noticed that it's true people
are like telling people their thoughts about things on Internet.
Opinions are like thumbs chuck, everyone's got him and everyone
wants to mangle everybody else's. Jonathan Cooley says, little fires everywhere,

(30:29):
solid four thumbs. Emily's watching that right now, Lauren Duke says,
BoJack Horsemen in the Crown, both four thumbs. Oh you
know what. I started watching to Noll, but is now
my sort of late night go to once Simily goes
to sleep. Is a big mouth. It's very very funny,
very well written, funny and and and really filthy. Yeah,
but so sweet too at the same Yeah, exactly. I

(30:51):
love me some Nick Kroll and it's got all my
favorites do voices like I think John Mulaney's on it,
and uh, what's his name, Raffie from The League? Yeah,
Jason man Zuka is Yeah, yeah, he plays I can't
remember the character's name. It's so good, but goddamn dude
that I can't remember what they call him, the the
the devil character whatever that appears, the libido or whatever.

(31:14):
Oh my god, that's that's not man zukas I thought
he played the penis monster devil. No, no no, no, the
very first iteration is actually Nick Kroll. He does so
many of those voices. Got it. Um, it's so good man.
I just like it's funny that it's silly animated movie
like that captures adolescent so well. See. I think my problem,

(31:36):
Chuck is I'm a bit of a prude and quite
sexually repressed, so I tend to uh, I tend to
steer away from raunchy subject matter like oh, you know,
old smoky velvet, that old proofs uh uh let me
see here. Noel Gibson says broad City four thumbs. Yeah,
I didn't watch that last season. I need to get
back into that and finish it up. I love those ladies,

(31:57):
they are so wonderful. And just what a Lana was
just here in Atlanta before ship got apocalyptic and did
like a Bernie event or something like that, a really
cool local d I y spot called the Mammal Gallery
um and did like kind of like a comedy rally
thing and it was was really really well well attended.

(32:18):
I should have gone to that. Uh let me see here.
Berta Boozon Ferguson says broad Church five thumbs. I've heard
that's really good. I need to see it the same
as letter Kenny. I've heard that's really good. That five
thumbs from Christopher Signer like and he's great, highly recommend.
There's just so much Noll's too much. It's too much,
so just you know, do it one step, one piece

(32:40):
of time. These are all good, rex. I haven't heard
a bad one yet. Let me see here our old
friend Lisa Romano, says Madman on five thumbs, uh Dynasty
three thumbs. She calls it Soapie bliss and another ship's
creek five five thumbs. People are putting a little thumb
inmote geez. I like that. I love a good thumbu emogi. Yeah,

(33:06):
where do the thumbs thing come from? I think it
was back when we were doing uh, the first judgment.
I think, right, maybe that might have been that's it,
that's it, because you know we're not even imployed. I
I think the joke is, like, you know, a thumbs
up or a thumbs down. We're just doing straight thumbs
as a numerical symbol, right. I like that. It could
be a thumb in your hole exactly wherever you want

(33:27):
to put it, wherever you want to put it. Too bad,
they don't have a thumb in your butt hole emoji.
I would be using the ship out of that thing.
You could make one. There's there's a combo that would
indicate that. I think she's an asterisk and then a thumb,
and that implies that, you know, oh yeah that's a
that's a Kurt Vonnegut thing. Yeah, yeah, there's a whole.

(33:48):
There's a thing in Breakfast of Champions there's a page
with like an asterisk and it says this is a
butt hole or something, and yeah, yeah, the asterisk is
the universal symbol for butth hole. Man no where. I'm
for nine years old now, and I did not know
that an astros was a butthole, but now to see
it though, right, totally a little starfish. He's a little

(34:09):
starfish or a star fruit, yeah that too, or or
or an anis like you know, a star I actually
thought about that. Do you think that's it's called annis
because it looks like an anus? I don't know. Or
is it pronounced a nice? Do you try to get
away from that by pronouncing it a nice? So that
sounds a little bootie a niece is what I've heard,

(34:30):
But that's probably just because people don't want to say anis.
You know what I mean? I personally love saying anis.
That's that's one of my go to words. So maybe
that should be our little foe band name Anus. No
no one will take it. Then, no one will take
it seriously serious heart music, chuck come only. I did

(34:52):
not support that one necessarily. What should we call ourselves?
I don't know. We'll figure it out. Le's let's take
a poll. Crushers can name us. They'll name us something stupid.
That's a good idea. I'll put a post up about that.
I think people hands down, we'll vote for just Anus.
How about have a anis the band not to be

(35:13):
confused with an actual anis. That's good, or Anus maximus.
That's pretty good. Alright, let's finish up here. Is that
just like a really big anus? The most maximum of
anus is the most maximum anus. A couple more recommendations here, Anne,
Marie Bermudez Medina, great name there Fidelity. I've not seen

(35:35):
the high Fidelity TV show yet. Show right, there's a
show I would. I would too. I love the movie.
I loved it, and I love Zoe Kravitz. I like it.
I'll check it out and then Finally, we'll finish up
here with let Me Go with Emily Moultrie. Here she
says The Good Fight four thumbs out of five. Uh,

(35:56):
don't know the Good Fight. The Good Fight is the
CBS all access only streaming sequel to the Good Wife
with Julianne Margolis, and uh uh it's I loved that show.
I don't typically go for those kind of legal you know,
what do you call it, procedural kind of drama, tase

(36:17):
or whatever, but I really really like that one a lot.
All right, Well, look at you know, spread your wings.
Haven't seen the Good Fight, but um, it's apparently quite good.
I also don't need another subscription, chuck. I resent being
wrangled into buying a piecemeal subscription for every fucking network
on the under the sun. I really, uh it's too much.

(36:39):
It's overload. But no, this is what everyone clamored for
forever was. I don't want to pay for all those
cable channels. I want all the card You want to
go pick up my channels, and now you don't want that. Yeah,
I guess you're right. I don't know what I don't agree. Well,
I know, I just keep collecting them and forgetting that
I have them, and the trick is that they're so
cheap that you don't notice, and they all come out

(36:59):
at ferent times. But if you really added it all up,
you're probably playing. Probably playing. You're probably paying more than
you would for like a normal cable subscription. You know,
I've done the math on what we have, and we
are still below what we paid for cable. Okay, well
maybe I'll get on that math. Get on the math,
no whole. I need to get on that math train, Chuck.
All right, everyone, there's a bunch of great recommendations, so

(37:21):
go to the movie crush page, check out the post
for TV binging and uh and share your thoughts and
get recommendations from others. That's all we are gonna do
for today. We're gonna record another episode in a minute,
but that'll be out next week. And thank you for
