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

(00:29):
Hey everybody, Welcome to Movie Crush. Mini Crush Monday, the
return of nol Juice Harp, Chuck, Oh Dark Mountain Harp,
if you please. You know, I actually looked that up
because it was a part of a Stuff you Should

(00:50):
Know Live show one time, and I was like, listen
before I say juice harp on stage, I want to
make sure this is not offensive, and the Internet and
told me it was not defensive. I'm just easy, you'd like,
but it is funny how it was rebranded, probably unnecessarily
with the more pc ozark mouth harp moniker I'm doing okay,
Chuck Quarantine has been a little nuts um. And the

(01:12):
reason I busted this out I just found this in
my freezer, the juice harp. Yeah, what was it doing
in there? Well, I I obviously put it in there
while it's drunk or something, you know, quarantine drunk, which
is drunk. I mean it is, but you know it was.
It was a nice surprise. It was sort of resting

(01:32):
on a bag of frozen peas, and uh, now I
have it at my desk here. Well, so I'm now
going to buy one of these. I just went to
Amazon and they have them listed as jaw harps. And
now I'm wondering if the Internet lied to me, and
if that is truly an offensive thing to say the
Internet never lied, Chuck. I mean, the Internet is just

(01:52):
a mirror reflecting back our own greatest fears and insecurities.
And now I'm wondering the difference between a four and
any nine jaw harp and a fifty seven dollar jaw harp. Well,
it's all in the vibrations, Chuck, in the in the material,
you know. The four one is probably like what I've
got here, It's probably made of some you know, crappy metal,

(02:13):
when the expensive one is probably made of like wrought
iron or like some So was like it was like,
you know, pulled up from an old railway line. You know,
I feel like I need to get one of the
maybe the middle ground ones, like the thirty dollar one,
work your way up to the high end one you got.
I mean, you know, first of all, I know you
can pick it up, Chuck, but it took me a while.
You really have to press it against your teeth really hard,

(02:34):
and that really triggers some people. Some people don't like
teeth and metal, and uh so it's not for everyone. Well,
I had one when I was a kid, and I
did not touch my teeth with it. I wrapped my
lips around my teeth and did it that way. Are
you supposed to press it against your teeth. That's the
only way that it vibrates. It needs to vibrate like
vibrates against your whole skull. So it's the whole thing.

(02:55):
I don't know how your lips. It would your lips
would dampen the vibrations. I would say, hey, it's not here,
Try it real quick with your lips. Don't understand. Oh
you're describing here? Oh my god, you're right. Shock. See
you don't have to put against your teeth. The Internet
lied to me too. Oh I hate you Internet. You're
so dishonest and shitty. We can't live without you, especially

(03:18):
during these are troubled core times. Yeah. So, um, this
is the first time you've been on in a few weeks.
I I've sent you a text just to make sure
that you knew. It was nothing personal. I just while
people are stuck at home, I thought i'd throw some
just different sort of special shows their way and had
hodgment on for a couple and then Josh made his

(03:38):
first appearance, which was a very big deal on movie Crush.
Was it like a proper crush. It was like a
proper sit down. He he did a mini which I thought,
you know, he was gonna come on for a regular crush.
We've been talking about it since the show started, but
I thought the many would be a more fun thing

(03:59):
to do right now with him then to sit around
and talk about paper Moon for an hour, which is
a great movie, to be shorter, and it was. We
had a blast. We did it a cocktail hour. We'ch
had a drink and uh, it was a lot of
fun na. Chuck. I just want to point out, you know,
there are such a thing as a three way podcast.
You know, you could have invited me to the cocktail hour.

(04:19):
I wouldn't have been like offended or anything. Can we
do that? Can we It's a technology there? Oh, the
technology is there, my man. So we just we just
do a three way skype call and everyone and then
we all record our sides and then we put it
all in post into the magic computer bucket and then
it comes out, Shake it up, and it comes out
a podcast that's exactly right. Uh, you know what, I'm

(04:39):
gonna have to try that then, because I was just wondering.
I just recorded with Annie Reese and uh, I was
thinking because she wants to do Empire strikes Back, but
so does Paul, and I was like, I wonder if
we can all three do this in quarantine. Dude, we
do stuff that I want you to know with three
of us. Yeah, so yeah, all right, well you and
I should get it go and then I would love

(05:01):
that that'd be a lot of fun. Um. So you,
let's catch up a little more when I when I
know you saw the picture of my face, but when
I popped up on your skype, you you jumped back
in horror at my big, ground naked face. I think
you look great. Honestly, Chuck, it was it was for effect.
It was for your benefit. Um. But yeah, no, it's uh.

(05:23):
I think I've told the story about how the one
time I shaved my face when my kid was like
maybe two, she started crying and she freaked out and
didn't know who I was. So I was just jarring.
It's a jarring experience. You know. It is certainly a
good thing to have a beard that everyone recognizes you
with so that if you ever have to run from
the law, you can just shave and then no one

(05:44):
will ever know it was you. Yeah, and it's funny,
you know, people go incognito by wearing fake beards and things.
I am unrecognizable right now in public, Not that I
get recognize that much anyway, but uh, I definitely without
my hat and my beard and about twelve years younger
and unrecognizable as me. Yeah, I would look very young too.

(06:06):
I have a bit of a baby face as well. Um, yeah,
I didn't look a slight spoiler for like a twenty
five year old movie. But there's a Spanish film called
Amorros Paros, which is wonderful, but that's sort of one
of the devices in it. There's this character you always
see as this light, homeless kind of like bum who
true picks up strays that are like from the dog

(06:27):
fighting world and trains them and has them as pets
or whatever, and then something happens. I remember exactly what happens,
but he ends up shaving, trimming his nails, putting on
a suit, and he just looks like a completely different
human And it's one of the coolest like transformations in
a movie that I've ever seen. It was really great. Yeah,
I was worried about Ruby, and um. She spent the
night in my mom's house and came back the next

(06:48):
day and I met her at the car and she
had a very sad look on her face, and she said,
why did you cut your beard? And she said I
don't like you with your beard cut. Oh no, And
I was like, you know, it's still me, kiddo, And
she kind of couldn't look me in the eye for
about probably about fifteen minutes. She sort of sulked around

(07:09):
and didn't want to look at me. And then I
wormed my way in there and got a snuggle, and
she eventually touched my face and said I looked funny,
And then that was fine. Yeah, isn't it funny? How?
I mean, obviously with children, but anyone, you know, uh,
really get a personal attachment to either like the length
of people's hair and they're like, oh my god, you

(07:30):
cut your hair. It's like it's on the front to
me personally that you've made this choice. You know, people
are very strange, Chuck, Well, kids get attached, you know.
She cried the other day because I had a new
horse and Red dead redemption, Um, because she was kill
your horse. I didn't. I got a better horse, and
I couldn't tell her that. I was like, oh no, no, no,

(07:50):
the other horse is still in the stable. I didn't
tell her just sort of you know, I got rid
of the horse, definitely didn't send it to the glue factory.
So what else is going on? Anything else you need
to catch up on? And I think you mentioned before
that you were moving. I've decided to move you and
I got the the email from my landlord that my
lease is up. I didn't realize it was quite so soon,

(08:11):
But I've been wanting to get a bigger place. Uh not.
I have a roommate I love dearly. Um. We've been
friends for a long time, and it's not really out
of necessity. It's more just like we like each other
and enjoy living together and it's you know, cheaper and fun.
But you're gonna hang with this roommate in the new
place too, No, I'm not, That's what I'm saying. I've
got to this place where, like I just really want

(08:33):
you know, he's got a girlfriend and I've got eleven
year old and I just have got to the point
where I want my own space, like form my recording equipment.
You guys can't see it, obviously, but I'm in my
bedroom right now and I'm surrounded by synthesizers and guitars
and it's all like feet away from my bed. And
I want a house with like a office, like a
third room where I can have all that, especially not

(08:56):
knowing how long this work from home situation is gonna
go on. I've really realized I want to better space
for myself because I've been stuck in this one and
really kind of hit home the fact that I don't
really like it anymore. I've outgrown it. So so you're
gonna go han solo and live alone with alone, use
a house. I mean, I've got I've got a ton.
It's funny. My ex wife I've mentioned she and I

(09:17):
are really really good friends. She has taken this cause
on and she is just so kind me the perfect place.
So we're actually she's coming over this afternoon and we're
gonna go look at a few spots together. But part
of East Lake, uh, kind of Candler Decatur area, really
really really close to where you guys and she U lives,
and um, yeah, I just want to be closer to

(09:40):
her and the family because I really spent a lot
of time with them, and I really love love that
love their family and their their daughter and not not
mine the other one. We're kind of un Uncle Noel,
they call me. So it's like a weird, excredied family
and we're excited about they're sort of an East Lake
Candler mccafee, Yeah, kind of. Well, it's funny, it's not.
I mean, you're you're ten minutes from there. All these

(10:03):
neighborhoods are so close exactly. It's really that's just kind
of secondary. But I also, like, you know, I've I've
been doing well with work and put a little little
put a little money away, and um, couldn't have happened
at a better time. I just feel like the universe
was telling me, this is what you want to do
and I do. Is this is this going to be
your first, um time you've lived by yourself? It is, actually, yeah,

(10:27):
it's a big deal and it's a lot of fun.
I remember the first time I lived by myself was
when I moved to l A. I got my first
apartment by myself, and it was fucking awesome, so fun
to have your own space in charge of your own domain.
Roommates are great, but when you finally make that move, uh,
you're gonna be better for it. Dude. I can't wait

(10:48):
to get for you to get your home office and
studio up and running. Yeah. No, I'm really excited, and
I feel like I'm at this place where I'm ready
to kind of go to the next stage of my existence,
and I think this is a good push in that direction.
So thanks, Chuck. You're all grows up. Noel. Well, I
don't like took me thirty six years. Well, when I

(11:08):
moved to l A. I moved to l A in
like two thousand one, so night to let's say, twenty
years ago. I was in my late twenties, early thirties.
I guess I'm a labo late bloomer, Chuck, I mean
I was to There's there's no shame in that, alright, Noel.

(11:31):
So I can write I can mark catch up off
my list because we did that. That's sure. What a chore.
That was too, A real slog. It's good seeing you, man. Yeah,
he's too, dude. So we're gonna move on. I've been

(11:55):
meeting I wanted to do this with Hodgeman. I wanted
to do it with Josh, but we ran short on
both of those, and so I'm finally getting to use
it now. On the movie Crush page, I posted geez
a couple of weeks ago now, and this is something
I borrowed from movie Crusher. Jason Roberts. He posted this
on the crushers page and I reposted to get to

(12:15):
get some more traction here, and he posted a very
cool question. And I don't think we've ever discussed, which
is what two actors? Two or more actors do you
get confused? Oh gosh, I've got one immediately, let's hear
at the point to the point where I already can't
even differentiate them in my mind. Uh, Christopher Maloney? Um,

(12:36):
who was Let's see he was in? Uh, he's in
a lot of stuff. Um Christopher, hold on, I got
I got because I really can't even remember the other
guy's name. Maloney. Christopher Maloney. He's an actor. He's an actor, Okay,
I got him. Isn't he in? Uh? An I'm trying

(12:57):
to decide who he looks like. Now? Wait is that No?
This is not an actor that I just pulled up? Yeah,
So Christopher, if you I can I can text you
his IMDb. Really Maloney with it, Okay, I know that guy.
I know you're gonna say, Elias Cotias probably exactly. They
look they look like indistinguishable to me. I always am

(13:19):
having a hard time differentiating them. Elias Katias exactly. And
when you and when you type in Christopher Maloney and
then the letter E Elias Cotius comes up, so it is.
And there are a lot of comp pictures listed of
them side by side, So this is not, like, you know, unusual,

(13:39):
But it's the one that always gets me because I
will often say, remember that guy from that one movie,
and it'll be the movie the other guy was in,
and like Casey Jones and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
I don't, I can't. I couldn't tell you which one
of them played him. I know it was one of
those two guys. It's funny that looking at celebrity look alikes. Now,
of course, the Will Ferrell Chad Smith thing, it's always funny.

(14:03):
That is funny and true they look a lot alike.
Actually it's weird al right. So let's see what the
crushers have to say. Um, this's got a lot of
good traction Uh, let me see here. Let's start off
with and some of these make total sense. And some
of these people admit they're like I don't even know why.
They don't even really look alike. But it's just one

(14:23):
of those brain things. Uh. One of our favorite names
here on the Crushers page, Margarita Shadowmago, says, I don't
know why in God's name I mix them up, but
Christopher Walkin and Steve Bashimmy, I always need a beat
before remembering who is who. Sometimes it's characters people play um.
Sometimes it's like a Paxton Pullman thing where it's just

(14:44):
the name. Yeah, it's tough too, especially if you have,
like some actors that are known for their characters and
really chameleonic. You could definitely, you know, confuse one version
of them with like somebody that maybe they were inspired
by even a little bit. Yeah, totally. See my laptop
Finn has just fired up again. I told you I
was having the issue, so there may be some background

(15:05):
noise in this one. Everyone apologies. Brandy Burdan says Jessica
Alba and Scarlett Johnson. I think it has to do
with the fact that they both play in superhero movies. Okay,
m you know Jessica Alba, she doesn't act so much
anymore because she's busy running her fucking billion dollar empire.

(15:25):
What what what a variety of empires? It chuck makeup
or something? No, it's I think it's kids stuff she honest,
that's right, honest brand like the soap and stuff. Yeah,
I mean I think she sold honest if if I'm
not mistaken for a boatload of money, um, and good

(15:47):
for her. Like that's what you do. That's the whole
thing is you. You build up this company and wait
for like Procter and Gamble to come by. Can I
backtrack really quick and say I apologize for being uh
so stereotypical and saying what was it makeup or something?
What a dick move? Gosh, well, it's fine, they're there.

(16:08):
There are definitely some some famous women who have makeup
lines or nothing. I give what you're saying. No, but
don't beat it so hard on yourself. And now I'm
obsessed with finding out how much she sold that business for.
Maybe she still wants it. I don't know. Uh, I
can't get back. I can't get sidetracked with honest stuff. No, no, no,
we've got so much more ground to cover. Let me

(16:29):
see our old pal. Vanessa Lopez says, Uh, Ron Livingstone
and Kyle Chandler, Yeah, they look alike. I get that.
Uh And m clark says east Left Fisher and Amy Adams.
I don't get them confused because they're very distinct in
my brain, but I could see how people would get

(16:49):
them confused. You know, Oh, there's definitely some Ron Livingston
Kyle Chandler. Yeah, you can always tell if there's a
split screen. If there's a split screen of me and
Kevin Smith out, there're gonna be pretty upset. People used
to say I look like honestly, Chuck, it's a it's
a chubby beard guy thing. I People used to say

(17:09):
I looked like Zach Galifannakis when he was hot. And
then back in high school, people used to say I
looked like Kevin Smith. They'd call me lunchbox. It really
hurt my feelings. Jack Black, did you ever get that?
I got Jack Black a lot, But I really like
Jack Black. Uh. He's so spry and I love his
TikTok videos of him just like flopping around doing these
crazy like TikTok dances. Boy, I got a lot when

(17:32):
I posted this beardless Chuck thing I got. First of all,
I don't even know how I got like eight thousand
views and there's only like five or six thousand people
on that page, so I must have gotten shared out.
I got shared out a little bit, but um probably
you know, obviously with stuff you should know people because
no one else gives a ship. But uh, I got
a lot of different people with the no beard, everyone

(17:54):
from Nathan Lane to um. A lot of people, said
the lead singer of the endance, which I was totally
stoked about, sounds like that. A lot of that has
to do with your glasses though, Yeah you got those
kind of like thick, black, cool hipster glasses. Yeah, I
got the ray Bands. Let me see Tyler Pace says
Jason Schwartzman and Jason Biggs. Yeah, they're pretty distinct to me,

(18:19):
but I get it. I would say more like David
Swimmer and Jason Biggs. The Swims, the Swims, uh Alyssa
Galmish says Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds. They're pretty much
one person to me. I prefer Gosling though, like both

(18:41):
those guys, they should be in a buddy movie. I
think it just has to do with the fact that
they're both like obnoxiously handsome man, you know, and talented.
They've got it all. Uh what what was the movie
that was so fucking funny with Gosling and uh Russell
Crowe that I think was kind of undersung the the

(19:02):
other guys. Was that it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, the nice guys.
It was a nice guys. I didn't see that. No, dude,
it's so funny Brian Gosling is Isn't it like a
period one, like is it in the sixties or something? Yeah?
I did see it was seventies. It was awesome. Oh man,

(19:23):
he is so funny in that movie. Veronica Summerhill says
Toby Maguire and Jake Jillenhall might as well be twins
to me. Absolutely not. No, yeah, I don't see that
one either. But again, these are all like personally people's brain. Uh,
we'll just play a trick on them that may not
make sense to the rest of us. Here's an interesting one,

(19:44):
Chris Nap says, Hugh Hefner and Larry King all right, interesting,
all right, this is very interesting. Jason Brown says. Jeremy
and Jason London one was in Days to Confused and
mall rats the other I think Seventh Heaven. I don't
really know. Maybe they're the same person. Well, Jason, my friend,

(20:05):
I want to introduce you to a little concept called twins.
They're twins? You mean the movie like with with Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. No, twins is just the biological
life concept of of twins. Oh, I get, I get,
and I get it now that they used They sort
of turned that on its head with twins because Arnold

(20:25):
Schwarzenegger a day Vito look nothing alike. I think it's
funny that this guy didn't know that Jeremy and Jason
London were twin brothers. Well, let's not shame him for it.
But no, I'm not gonna shame it. I know, I know,
of course not just I got a good one. Um.
Bill Hicks and Alex Jones. Uh oh, interesting, It's it's

(20:49):
pretty wild. There's like a conspiracy theory they're the same person. Well,
which is hysterical because Bill Hicks was a liberal champion
and Alex Jones is a Cretan toad. Bill Hicks Alex. Oh,
so there's like they look alike. They really do there's
even like images where people are like comparing their bone

(21:10):
structure and stuff, and like, you know, it's a people
have too much time on their hands, so they sure do,
they sure do. Uh. Let me see. Here's a good one, Carrie.
This is from Amanda Tassie, Carrie Mulligan and Michelle Williams. Yeah. Yeah,
that's a good that that I agree with for sure,
totally get that. I find them that there. That's another

(21:30):
one of those pairs that are sort of interchangeable in
my mind. Yeah. Jim Frank says Jason Patrick and Patrick Wilson.
M hmm, okay to me them, the more famous someone is,
the tougher it is to like Amanda Karen says, Mark
Wahlberg and Matt Damon. Uh. And then Jeremy Carpenter commented

(21:55):
that The Departed was so confusing because he gets those
two people confused they were in the same movie. Hmm.
I've seen this one before. Abby Kitts Miller says, Nicknolty
and Gary Busey. Oh yeah, they both have kind of
a blonde, wild eyed, unhingedness to them, you know. Yeah,
And I think that was aided by various mug shots

(22:19):
over the years, because there's that one very famous Nick
Nolty mug shot where he just looks batshit crazy. Yeah,
he looks like Gary Bucey. He does. He's very it's
very busy. Gary Busey just looks like that all the time.
Nick Nolty only looks like that in mug shots. Man,
why don't we develop a podcast with Gary Busey That
would be a hit. Didn't he have a crazy reality

(22:40):
show for a while or something? Probably I feel like
he did. But I mean, I think all you need
to do is just sit him and down in front
of a microphone and and let him go. I love it.
I let your show. Yeah, here's the one that used
to get me to when I was a kid, but
now as an adult, um, not at all. Laura Limkey

(23:02):
uh verdic no verderame for Deremy Verdin. Great name, Laura.
She says, I used to get Glenn close and Meryl
Streep confused, and that was definitely one for me growing up.
They were sort of the same person until I realized
they're both great actors. But Meryl Streep, you know, it's
sort of the legend of the two. Well, they both

(23:24):
sort of occupy a similar strong female powerhouse kind of space,
you know, like in uh in movie history. They were
both kind of like coming up at the same time
and had similar types of like was it uh so
Glenn Close is in terms of endearment? Yes? Right? No? No, no,

(23:48):
terms of endearment? Was neither of them? Oh? Wait, what
am I thinking that? I think Steel Magnolia has excuse me?
And she wasn't in that either. Never mind, we're cutting
all of this. We're cutting all of them. No, leave
it all in. Glen Post was in The Big Chill?
Is that what you were thinking? Now, I haven't Fatal Attraction.
Glenn Close is in Fatal Attraction. That's probably her biggest,

(24:08):
most famous role. It's Alex the bunny boiling murderous side piece.
She boiled that she boiled a bunny and yeah, man,
you didn't see was it? Was it a pet bunny?
That's terrible. Yeah, that's a big spoiler, but it's such
a part of the public consciousness. It didn't feel bad
revealing it. Did I tell you? I went I went

(24:29):
to an event with Glenn Close, Like I was like
feet for feet from her. Yeah, because she was in
that podcast that my buddy John Cameron Mitchell I can
I I'm not flexing when I say that we were
talking stuff. Um, but he uh had her in his
podcast anthem Homunculous, which is fantastic on the Luminary Network
if you haven't heard it. It's a psychedelic head trip.

(24:51):
It's just fantastic with music and everything. And she played
a character in that. And he did this marathon listening
party at the i F Center, New York, and Glenn
Close came and did a little speech and brought her
dog pipe and she seemed very nice. I didn't like,
you know, say hello, Mrs Close, thank you so much

(25:12):
for all your contributions to American cinema. I loved you.
And Steel Magnolia's Yes, you were so good and you
were so good and uh, what was the other one?
Like the other one that I was wrong about in
terms of terms DeArment? She like, nope, still no, still
not me. Thank you, thank you for playing. Let me

(25:32):
see this is when I used to get confused a
little bit. Lauren Duke says, Cure Knightly and Natalie Portman, Uh,
they're they're they're similar. I think a lot of Paxton
im Pullman's James ds, says Amy Adams and Rachel McAdams.
I don't see that one so much. Must just be
the atoms thing that's throwing them, you know. Yeah, oh boy,

(25:52):
this is a good one because they really do look
a lot alike. Victoria Reid says Jamie Pressley and Margot
Robi or Robbie. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Yeah,
they look a lot alike. They should play sisters. All right,
we're gonna finish up here with our old pal Robert Paulson.
I hope you're hanging in there out in l a buddy.

(26:13):
Emma Watson and Emily Watson, just their names. I just
want to call them each other. I get that too, totally. Um.
All right, so we are going to move on to
another post. And this is from the Crushers page. This
is from one of our oldest of pals, Patrick Gorman,
and he always posts a lot of fun stuff on

(26:34):
the Crushers page. And this is very simple, and I
can't believe I've never asked this, but what is the
movie that made you realize I love movies? Very simple? No,
just I don't know if you have one. Do you
remember your first one? It's probably the first movie I
ever saw, it would have been a little later for me,
Like I definitely loved liked movies and enjoyed movies, but like,

(26:57):
as far as what really got me into digging a
little deeper and getting into directors and cinematographers and stuff,
it would have been a movie like Platoon maybe, or
I went through you know a lot of those movies.
We talked about the very Influential Year, which the year
itself escapes me, but Fight Club and American Beauty were
too where did Yeah, I was like, Okay, this David

(27:20):
Fincher character has got something going on, and I looked
into all of his work and started researching all of
his influences. This thing away for music. For me, it
was Smashing Pumpkins because they had really interesting bands that
influenced them. So because of them, I got into like
Black Sabbath, Enjoy Division, and my Bloody Valcein. So that's
sort of how I think of it. You know, I'm
doing that, uh that silly Facebook thing where you name

(27:42):
your ten most influential albums, and that has been a
lot of fun because it's uh, I usually don't do
that stuff, but this, uh, there was something about influential
as opposed to favorite. That really intrigued me because you
really got to put a lot of thought into what
bands do you simply love the record and what band's
really kind of altered your the way you look at

(28:04):
music or maybe introduce you to a genre you had
never heard before. And it was really interesting to kind
of go back through I'm almost done with it now,
but to kind of look at these touchstones through my
life of music that influenced me. It's a lot of fun.
Have you Has anyone nominated you for that? And all? No,
please do? I would do that all day long. I
just haven't been checking Facebook very much. I need to
put notifications back on because I've been like, yeah, mainly

(28:28):
using Instagram, but I would love to do something like that.
I'll turn notifications on, all right. So what movies? What
movie made you realize you love movies? One of our
oldest friends, Jane Jenneb who by the way, she won
the garden competition, we I posted a picture of my

(28:48):
backyard and garden because you know, we've been working hard
on it, and I was like, I know a lot
of you guys have been working hard to during quarantine.
So a lot of people posted Pictures and Jayne's is
off the hook. It is so damn lovely, so a
way to go, Jane, She says, Raiders of the Lost
Dark Um that was right up there for me too.

(29:09):
I think Raiders in Et were those early movies for
me that that sort of magical, and of course Star
Wars that really took me to a place where I
was like, man, this is gonna be watching movies for
the rest of my life. Uh. Jenny Livett says Close
Encounters of the Third Kind totally the Danger Oven. By

(29:29):
the way, Gail Koont's revealed what The Danger Oven means
via email. I can't tell you, guys, but it's a
great story, she says. This is spinal tap made her
realize she loved movies. That's a good one. The author
of this thought experiment, Patrick Gorman says, Saving Private Ryan
and Titanic, all right, so that came on a little later,

(29:53):
unless he's younger than I thought. Heidi Lawman says, Jewel
of the Nile Man that was great. That Romancing the Stone,
big big movies for me as a kid. Which one
came first? Romancing the Stone was first, That's what I thought.
And Juel den I was the uh slightly lesser sequel,
not not quite as good, but still fun. Jason Roberts

(30:14):
says Tarantino movies period, they made me feel like I
was at least as cool as his characters for simply
having seen the movie. Okay, that was back in those
days where it's like I was so ignorant about you know,
culture and stuff that I was like this pulp fiction man,
no one else has heard of it. I'm the only one.

(30:35):
It's like just for me. It's kind of like I
remember like going to see Ween in concert to Coca
Cola Roxy and I got there really early and there
was like nobody there, and I was like, you guys,
I'm like the one. It's gonna be for me. I
figured it out. I have my finger on the pulse,
you know. Yeah, that's a special thing though. That has

(30:56):
to do with a certain age and discovering things. Because
I said the very same thing and one of my
music albums posts because I did a two for one day,
I did r MS Life Life Search pageant and you
two's Unforgettable Fire as a two for. And when I
was first getting into music when I was a kid,
it was American top forty and MTV and pop hits

(31:18):
and classic rock radio which was just always on and
still is on the radio. But when I first discovered
album MAYDI eight which is our great uh college radio
station here in Atlanta for Georgia State University, eight point
five left of the dial. When I discovered that radio station,
when I was like thirteen and fourteen and fifteen, uh
and heard R E. M and you two for the

(31:39):
first time, I thought, I was like, this is a secret.
No one knows that no, no one knows about these guys.
And you would only tell friends that you thought would
get it. You wouldn't broadcast it too loudly. It's a
pretty special thing. Of course, every you know, there were
other people listening to them, But that's that kind of
connection that a band or a movie can have with
a young It of like, this is for you. It's

(32:01):
pretty special. Oh totally agree. Let me see here, Josh
Toko says watching Superman catch Lois Lane and the Helicopter
and Superman the movie as a kid and then as
an adult, still getting chills every single time. I always
thought Superman was kind of a dick, the way he
like just drops her out of the window, you know,

(32:23):
and then like catches there. It's like he's sort of
like talking. Yeah, it's like pulling the girls hair on
the playground a little bit like her. Let me see
Tyler burns his dead posts Society. Yeah, that was pretty
pretty monumental movie for me too, as was stand By Me.
And that comes from Jodi Sells queen big big movie

(32:45):
American beauty. That comes from old friend Megan Carol. Uh.
Scott Marvel says die Hard made him love movies. That's
certainly a great crash course and awesome filmmaking. Did you
see die Hard with a Vengeance? Chuck? It was from
all I thought die Hard with a Vengeance really kicked ass.

(33:07):
Like Sam Jackson. Yeah, that was Sam Jackson. Jeremy Irons
is a total totally evil villain, mad bomber guy. You know.
I thought that really held up and in many ways,
I mean, it's hard to say it's better than the
second one is forgettable to me. With the Vengeance really
stuck out in my mind. I think I saw in
the theaters like a couple of times when it came out. Yeah,

(33:29):
it was really good. It had a clever concept with
the whole sort of scavenger hunt around New York and
the ticking clock, and I thought it was really really good.
I didn't actually I said I saw him odd, did
not see that last one with with the kid when
it when his son came on the scene. Yeah, it's
isn't Bruce not in that one? Like at all? No?
I mean he's in it pretty sure, Like I didn't.

(33:51):
I didn't see it, But maybe he wasn't in it
as much? Was he not in it that much? I
I And for some reason in my mind, I think
that he wasn't in it, but he maybe was like
just sort of the elder statesman, die hard guy, sort
of passing the baton. But I could be wrong. I
got you, Matt Yos, says the Royal tannin Bombs Magical

(34:12):
Magical Movie. I'm really worried this new West Anderson movie
is going to be delayed now, No, everything's delayed. I'm
so upset. Why uh do you don't think it was
done already? Then they released the trailer. It seems like
it was pretty fully formed, seeming or the very latest shot.
And then but they're they're delaying stuff anyway because we

(34:34):
can go to the theaters. That's right. I wonder how
this experiment has been working out at with it because
they haven't been doing many more of them. I've noticed,
like they did like Trolls. Yeah, and they did like
Emma and then that movie The Hunt, and I haven't
really seen any other Invisible Man to um or whatever
the version of that was called the new one with

(34:54):
Peggy for Madman. Uh, I don't know. I mean you
did see all the ruckass called with AMC Theaters and Universal, right, yeah,
of course. I mean you know, like there's also a
whole situation where um they're they're kind of having to
see how much money they're going to make off of this,

(35:14):
and I just sort of feel like, because there haven't
been more of them, like it's not doing well, you
know what I mean, Like because even troll It Trolls
did well. Oh yeah, yeah, that's why Universal came out
and was like, hey, this may be the way forward. See,
I didn't hear that news. I and I just noticed that,
like I would have thought there would like Wonder Woman
for example, that was just about to come out, and

(35:35):
like I would have thought maybe they would have dropped
it in the O D. But you know, they haven't
done that yet. I just wonder if they're just hedging
their bets and waiting to see because oh, I know
you're talking about I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to
to gloss over what you said. Is this you're talking
about the theaters that like, did you reduced pricing? Uh? There.
So Universal came out after the success of Trolls and said,

(35:57):
the CEO whatever made this statement of kind of like, hey,
even when things get back to normal, we might do
some of this like in theaters and at home. And
the whole way theaters work is that windowing period. And
so a MC said, you know what, We're not gonna
show any more Universal movies in our theaters. And then
Regal came out and said, you know, we're not going

(36:17):
to show any more Universal movies in our theaters because
you're breaking a a pact that's been in place since
the beginning of film, which is that we get a
window to show these things and then it goes out
on video on demand or DVD or whatever. So it is,
do you think there's obviously there has to be to
some degree like a formal agreement with some sort of

(36:40):
union or some sort of like you know, group that
represents all of the theaters or I think there's an
agreement in place, but I don't know now that you
mentioned that, because they couldn't just Willy narally break that.
It may have just been like, yeah, like, hey, this
is just how it works, because it's always been yeah, like,
we'll go out of business as a movie theater if

(37:01):
you start doing this, or as a movie chain. And
then there's people saying, like, AMC even letting your chain
go downhill for years with shitty screenings and poorly behaved
patrons and high price snacks. So a lot of people
are welcoming this. I'm someone who thinks that you've got
to keep theaters alive. Man, It's like, there's nothing like

(37:23):
that experience. I I agree with you for certain movies,
for sure, but then there are some that I would
be much more likely to just casually check out on demand,
for sure, than if you know that. I would never
go to the theaters to see you know, Emma, for example,
but on demand I might check it out. You know.
So I agree with you, but I almost wonder if

(37:46):
that means theaters are going to become more niche and
it's going to be more of like that Alamo Drafthouse
or like you know, Nighthawk or like those kind of
more interesting, very curated, and the experience is very geared
towards people who love going to the center the movie. Yeah. Man,
I read a really interesting, super long deep dive article
on what they think the future of entertainment is going

(38:07):
to look like. And I can't remember where it was.
I'll see if I can find it and post it.
But someone wrote a really well thought out its idea
of what this might look like. And basically it's like,
what's going to happen is like Amazon is going to
swoop in and buy Regal and a MC, let's say,

(38:28):
and movie theaters are not going to be just movie
theaters anymore. It's going to be an entertainment complex where
you can go pick up your Amazon package and you
can go watch your favorite Amazon thing on a big
screen if you want TV show, or you can watch
a movie much more like individually geared. And then it

(38:49):
had all this other stuff that was um this entertainment
complex as well, all owned by Amazon of course, and
I could see it going in that direction absolutely. I mean,
if you really think about a movie theaters are kind
of a one trick pony and considering how expensive real
estate is, probably diversifying isn't like the worst idea in

(39:12):
the world, um or making it more Niche like the
Alamo situation where you go there because you know, no
one's allowed to behave badly. People will get kicked out
if they talk, you know, like they have really good
food and beverages and like that. The whole system is
reped towards like a really lovely experience, whereas, like you said,
amc Chains, it's a ship show and you never know

(39:32):
what you're gonna get, and it's like a total crap
shoot as to whether you're gonna have a good time
or just be piste off and feel like you've wasted
your money. Yeah, here it is. It's um. It's a
really great article. It's called Prepare for the Death and
Rebirth of Hollywood on Medium dot com by Richard Jaynes.
And uh, it's it's an interesting read, man. I mean,

(39:54):
this is all this one guy's opinion on what do
you think might happen? Um. But he makes a pretty
good case. And you know, the Amazon's I think look
for uh, and he saw about Disney as the other one,
like Amazon and Disney might just buy up all these
theater chains and make these big entertainment complexes and like

(40:18):
special screenings for prime members. Uh, they'll mark it directly
to audiences about their own platforms. So there's just a
lot of synergy. I think that a company like Amazon
or Disney could could do with their like retail legs,
and Disney would have Disney stores of course, all in there.

(40:38):
And uh, pretty interesting stuff. Oh e sports, they were
talking about incorporating sports because that's such a huge thing.
Cafeterias and restaurants, gamers, gamer zones. Very interesting stuff now
for sure. So I think that's enough on the Uh,

(41:00):
we got pretty much sidetracks, but I wanted to see
before we wrap what you've been streaming if there's been
anything new on your list? Oh so much? Um, well,
not so much, but a decent amount. And I finished
better call saul in in real time. I've just been
buying him an episode at a time on on Amazon. Um,
let's see what have I really been enjoying. Oh yeah, this.

(41:23):
There's this new show on Netflix called The Midnight Gospel.
It's a very like psychedelic cartoon um where it's the
creator of Adventure Time, Pendleton Ward, who is just a
you know, incredible mind. Um. I always thought Adventure Time
was one of the coolest kind of like adult kids
cartoons that really kind of dipped its toes into sort

(41:45):
of psychedelia and that kind of yellow submarine, you know,
the point kind of animation style from the sixties, And
with the Midnight Gospel, he takes that and just pushes
it into the stratosphere and it's super adult and it's
a collaboration between him and Duncan Trustle incredible weird, weird,
oh comic bordering on like a philosopher poet kind of guy,

(42:08):
and it's just great. I don't know how el's to
describe it. It's really hard to because there's so much
going on in the background. It takes excerpts from Trussell's
Duncan Trust All Family Our podcast and and kind of
animates to it. But it's all these discussions of like
Buddhism and and drugs and addiction and just like life
and uh death and just anything you can think of,

(42:28):
and it's really um, it's it's a lot, but it's
it's wonderful. I highly recommend second out at least a
couple episodes and give it a minute because the first
two might not grab you fully, but just get their
short and just just kind of give it, give it
a little bit of your attention. I think you'll feel
well rewarded for it. Yeah. I gotta check that out, um.
Frequent guests Dan Bush was talking about how much he

(42:50):
loved that on his Facebook page, and uh so to
get a recommendation from both you and Dan means that
it's awesome. I've been working with Dan on a project lovely. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah,
Dan's awesome. Yeah. Cool, dude. I can't wait to get
him back. I wish he had a home recording deal.
I'll love to get him back in here, or maybe
he does. I'm gonna check in with him. Alright. No,

(43:13):
well that's it. We're only gonna do one today. I
appreciate you coming on and making the time. Good to
see you as always, and I'm taking we're we're doing
this because I'm taking next week off, dude. I'm recording
a little bit extra and I'm not recording anything next week,
which will be a nice little break. Very cool man.
Enjoy and thanks for everyone for listening, and we will

(43:36):
have no back in your ear holes next week. Looking
forward to for more podcasts. For my heart Radio, visit
