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

(00:29):
All right, hey, everybody, welcome to Mini Crush Monday. This
is number two for us of the day, but for
you it's a week later. How does that work? It's
time travel, my friend, the magic of podcasting. Um. I
like the idea of a two for Tuesday, but it's
a Wednesday, so don't don't, don't hold up? Does not
hold up? We could do a threefa Wednesday. Oh, I'd

(00:54):
never mind. I just like the sound. Are you how
are you doing? You doing about the same, the same
we were two minutes ago. Yeah, but she dialed me
back up on Skype. So I feel like there was
a reset because as as as folks may have may
recall from last on last week on Mini Crush, Chuck's
video was out of sync with his audio, really fucking

(01:15):
with Nol's mind. Man, I requested a reset, and now
it's beautiful. That's right. Now we are we are in sync.
Like J C. Chaz what's his name? I don't think
was he in in sync? Or was he in uh?
J C? J C chaw Do you see chess? Yeah right,

(01:41):
I don't even know. I had a zoom call with
a Backstreet Boy a couple of weeks ago. Pretty cool. Yeah,
it was a j um. I was able to pass
his project onto somebody else who was better suited to it.
But it was a real trip. I'm collecting some real
cool zoom screenshots, Chuck, it's fine. I had one yesterday
with the guy's name is Byron Scott. He used to

(02:03):
play for the l A Lations Byron Scott, just like Legendary.
He played with Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Ship and like
coached a bunch as well. He really loved his pitch.
Just I'm not I can't get into it, but it's like,
what a cool guy. He was so humble and kind
and and then I had a call later with Bill Flanagan,

(02:23):
who was like Bob Dylan's biographer, and it's like written
all these amazing like rock kind of you know, um
journalists kind of pieces and books over the years and amazing,
really really interesting dude, that's so cool. No, I missed
those days when I was doing more development, but we've
been so busy with the stuff you should know book

(02:45):
uh that you can pre order now. Everyone just go
to stuff you should read books dot com. It's awesome.
You can preorder it there and get your pre order gift,
which is a cool custom poster illustrated by our great
illustrator for the book, Carlie Minardo. And it's coming together nicely. No,
it looks really fucking great. You're gonna gonah, Yeah, I
think I told you. We're doing one too for stuff

(03:07):
they don't you know. It's early, early, early, early early stages.
But we we we were included in that whole whole rollout,
which I'm excited about. It's a lot of work, nol.
I can only imagine turns out right in the books.
A lot of work, even if you have help writing
the book, and we do. We have a co author
named Nils Parker, who is awesome, and it's still a

(03:28):
lot of work. Yep, I've met Nels, but yeah, you
met Nels. He's great. Love that guy. He does a
movie writing and stuff too. Movie writing, yeah, like punch
ups and rewrites, and I'm sure he has his own
originals out there as well. But book writing and movie writing,
book writing and movie right, and he's a real two
for I love it. So No, we're gonna go ahead

(03:49):
and jump in because we have a few pieces of
material to deliver to the masses, the small masses. I
asked the crushers what movie b I O, P I
C biopic? Biopic? What movie biopic would you most like

(04:11):
to see? And who plays the leads? You got anyone
that you can think of, nol that you'd like to
see a movie about that. I think I've said on
the show before. That's I don't really, that's not my thing.
That's right, you people, I don't. I don't hate it
just takes a lot for me to really get into
one of those. I really did like Bohemian Rhapsody quite
a lot though, actually despite this this terrible gaudy teeth

(04:34):
that he had rocking. But I really enjoyed the movie
a lot. And you know, it doesn't have to be music.
It can be a like do you hate all of history?
Do you hate h do you hate every historical figure? Goodness, Chuck, Um,
I really liked Downfall, which was the great Bruno Ganz
playing Adolph Hitler. Um, that's a real good yeah, man,

(04:57):
I still need to I need to see that. Oh
that one is good, dude. It's right. So you like
the only biopics you like her about Hitler? Okay, that's
exactly what I said. And cool. Isn't there a Bowie
one coming out that's like like like a real deal,
like like a weak thing. I don't know I'd be
into that. Yeah, I mean I'll see all those I

(05:18):
like biopics. They cast somebody that would looked interesting. I
can't remember who he was, but he was somebody had
seen another stuff. Speaking of that, we're doing in developing
currently a biopod series about the the Space Invader himself,
Mr Mr David Bowie. He's not the space Invader. I
made that up. He's the what do they call him? Think?

(05:40):
He started us? Zink he started us? But like the
man who felt, yeah, whatever, it's just it's no. He
kind of says that doesn't he say I'm a space invade. Okay,
my mama, Papa coming for you, he says, it doesn't say.
A show about it is a single voice narrative biopod series.

(06:05):
It's gonna be about sixteen episodes, roughly um hosted and
narrated and written by the amazing Jordan run Tug, who
does our show Rivals, which, if you haven't listened to
Chuck you you gotta check it out. Rivals is about
the greatest beefs in music history. And like the last
episode they did was about Billy Corgan versus Stephen Malcolmus
because of that line in Range Life it's dude, listen

(06:27):
to because it's it's him and he's great. And then
his co host on that as this guy Steve Hayden,
who wrote the book literally on music Rivalry is called
your favorite band is killing You. Um. He also is
the guy who did that would Stock ninety nine series
on luminary Um. But yeah, they're fantastic, great chemistry. But
Jordan is just doing this. Um. It's sort of like
the Disgrace Land and there's a single voice kind of narrative,

(06:48):
you know, story about a musician with no music license
from the actual musician. It's all original music that we
did ourselves on our team. I'll send you the pilot.
I think you would really like it. This is bow
We too, Bowie exactly. All right. We're gonna start off
here with Patrick James Bradway. He says, I want to
see a movie version of King of Kong where Matt

(07:09):
Damon plays Steve Weeby and Keanu Reeves plays Billy Mitchell.
That is a great idea that's a totally great is
that casting is perfect? I think, Hollywood, if you're listening,
these are some pretty good ideas here. Jamie Power says
a movie about Salvador Dali. Totally. I want to see
that movie. He said. It's a live action film with

(07:31):
the exception of the Dolly character, who was animated and
voiced by Antonio Bandetas. Wow, that could be interesting. That
could be I would go more of like, uh, maybe
there's animated sequences. You know, there's a real actor playing,
but maybe it goes into dreamy kind of psychedelic animation
every now and then. Yeah. Cool, if it's psychedelic, I

(07:51):
know you'll like it. You know, I love some psychedelia.
Chuck because you eat drugs for breakfast. Uh huh, I
told you about my new ice coffee fetish, right, Yeah,
it's basically drugs. Sure. Our old friend Genevan Valen, coolest
name in the podcast listener business. This is a great idea.
I want to see this movie, Jenna, a biopic about

(08:11):
Harry Nilson played by James McAvoy. I could see that. Yep. Yeah,
similar kind of bone structure. I love these Yeah, I
love these casting games. YEA super fun Sometimes people have
a real knack for picking out Uh, all right, here
we go, Debbie Franka Dacas, one of our oldest friends, says,

(08:32):
LORI Lightfoot. Don't know about Lorie Um. She's the first
mayor of Chicago that is a black, female, lesbian. I
suspect she had numerous obstacles coming up through politics, and
she's still pretty funny and has so much sincere personality
compared to some politicians. Could be played by Robin Gibbons.
She the current mayor of Chicago. I don't know much

(08:53):
about Chicago politics. I know that it was very corrupt.
Well maybe it's gotten less so by that it's notoriously
corrupt political city. Uh. She served as uh oh since
may served us a fifty six mayor of Chicago. All right,

(09:15):
she looks great. I got a good one that just
came up. Actually, we did an episode of Ridiculous History
UM with Joe Piazza, who does our show UM on
the network, Committed and Unconventional Marriages, and she's like a
best selling author about relationships and she's a fantastic, lovely,
lovely person. But we did a two part series about

(09:35):
Kate Warrene, who was the first female Pinkerton Detective Um,
and she basically like watches into the Pinkerton Detective Agency
and says she wants a job, and Pinkerton is like
when it was just like one office in Chicago. Actually uh.
He says, okay, we're not we're not hiring for secretaries
love you know, and she's like, no, sir, I want
to be a detective. And then she explains to him

(09:57):
how she can get into places as a woman that
a man could and get and she could talk secrets
out of like the wives of criminals and stuff. And
sure enough, she was just like a smash and she
totally killed it. And she ended up like protecting Lincoln
uh during his first assassination attempt where they had to
smuggle him like on this train as he was going
through Baltimore, which was like super huh, you know, anti

(10:19):
Lincoln and he um there was a plot to kill him.
But Joe conjectured it would be great to do a
TV series on her where you kind of fictionalized it
a little bit, like because there's a lot people don't
know about her, but she's a total badass like female detective. Dude,
I love that they'd be good uh stuff. You sho
episode or short stuff maybe totally let me see here.

(10:39):
Caitlin Callaghan says no idea he would cast but uh.
A biopic on Fleetwood mac Con centered on the making
the Rumors album would be so great. Yes, so down
with that. You know, the Rumors album noll one of
the great records of all time. And they hated each
other's guts when they made it. It's so crazy. I
mean they you know that there they did. There's a
rivals episode on on that feud um and I gotta

(11:01):
listen to that show. Dude, I'm telling you, you're right one.
You're really going to dig it. But I didn't realize
any of that that they like stayed together in the
band for like years and years and just couldn't stand
each other. Yeah, it was tough. I mean, two divorces
happening and then various affairs with Mick while it was
all going on. It was it was tough. And lots

(11:22):
of drugs, which always seems to calm things. Dound piles
of cocaine. Uh. Our old buddy Jimmy Kakandal says, oh boy,
this would be great. Frank Woyd Wright uh and cast
Leonardo DiCaprio, you can pull off younger and older. And
then it was such a dumb dumb Was he an
architect or what was the who was Frank Woyd right? Yes, yeah, yes,

(11:45):
one of the one of the great American architects, really
really fantastic stuff and and holly unusual his his style.
He was uh. He was noted for having some of
his places not be so structurally not sound, but like
you know, some of his roofs would leak sometimes, and
he was he worried about how it looked. And there

(12:06):
was a very famous story about one of his very
rich clients who had a leak in his office and
said that he called him up and said that he
has water dripping on his desk, and Frank Ladwright says,
then move your desk. Burn. I don't know if that's
true or not, but it's a great story. Becca Loo says,
Elizabeth Blackwell deserves a damn movie. I think Dakota Fanning

(12:28):
could play her well young and uh in the older version.
Maybe Christina Applegate. Elizabeth Blackwell, Yeah, Um, she's great. We
just did a podcast on her not too long ago.
She was the first the first woman to get a
medical degree and like basically the first UM licensed a
medical doctor, uh, female medical doctor in the United States.

(12:51):
I knew it rung a bell and more she was
she was something else, Marilyn Monroe that comes from Molly
Thibodeau and get Emma Stone. Yeah, I could see that.
Surprised that hasn't been done yet. I wonder if it
has to do with like life rights or a state
or something. I'm really surprised there hasn't been a proper

(13:12):
Maryland doc or biopic. Yeah. I agree, Um, I would
have thought that would have been happened because it's a
rags to riches to tragedy. You know, it's got all
the markers of great drama, the whole jf K thing.
And then like was she was married to Henry Miller, right,
the playwright, and they had like a notoriously kind of marriage. Yeah,

(13:38):
lots of interesting historical uh intersections with that story. She
championed Elephantzgerald's career. UM. One of our books that we read,
A Ruby is a book on Elephatezgerald and Marilyn Monroe
and their friendship and Marilyn Monroe really putting her neck
on the line and going to club owners and saying,
you need to put this black woman in your club,

(13:58):
even though you're not supposed to do that, because I
will show up and the press will show up if
I show up. And so they did, and she she
really gave her a kickstart and they were really really
good friends. It's a very sweet story. Really quickly, a
new Maryland Monroe biopic is in the works, depicting her
last months, based on the final the Keith badmin Um

(14:22):
book I think the Final years of Marilyn Monroe. Does
it say who they cast? Let's see, Oh, this is
actually a series. It's going to be a series, not
not a movie. And they cast done? Who do they cast?
It's it's oh ah, this is a great radio nol

(14:49):
fuck man, Anna are I'm sorry. There's like there's two things.
There's a there's a series, and then there's a Netflix
movie that Brad Pitt produced and it's oh, it's Anna
arm Us. Who was who? Who was the kind of
the protagonist I guess and knives out? And she was
also the sexy hologram and blade runner? Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,

(15:14):
all right, I'll buy that. Interesting. All right, Now we're
gonna move on to a new category. I'm gonna leave
that up though, because it's fun playing casting games. I'm saying,
best her favorite kids performance, and I said, anyone you

(15:34):
know kind of under thirteen, not not not teenage performance,
but a true kid performance because it's tough man. So
many bad ones, so many precocious, precocious little assholes throughout
movie history. You know it's tough. Uh. We're gonna start
though with Jenny Gernon Keller with Ivana Backro and Pan's Labyrinth. No,

(15:57):
you can comment you've seen that movie. Wonderful, wonderful, heartbreaking performance. Yeah,
that one's a toughie. That one's almost like Dancer in
the Dark level like like upsetting. It's it's it's beautiful,
but it's like it really twists the knife because it
mixes like fantasy and just like brutal reality and such

(16:18):
a such a oh gosh, it's just such an artful
way interesting. And you know they covered that on Friendly
Fire as a war movie. Well it is, it absolutely is. Yeah,
good question about it. Check that out. Our old friend
Jeff Clark's is Hayley Stansfield and true grit totally. Yeah,

(16:39):
she was great. Um, slightly old for this question, but
not really kind of right on the edge. Um. Sierra
rain On, one of our oldest friends, says, ah, someone
reminded me of the young Robert Downey Jr. Was the
kid in Heart and Souls. Such a cute little ham
and so sweet. I don't know that movie. I don't think.

(17:01):
M hmm. I nominate all the kids in the Florida Project. Yeah,
they're all like non actors, just like, get that. What
a fucking movie. Man, that's that's one of the great anyone.
It's streaming now on either Netflix or Hulu or one
of the one of the ones, one of the ones. Um,

(17:22):
but I think it's I think it's Netflix. But if
you haven't seen that, get ye to a streaming equipped television,
my friends. It is. It will break your heart and
then lift you up and then it's so good. It's
not it's not like total misery or it's it really
has like a silver lining in a weird way. It's
sort of like a dire situation where it's these kids

(17:45):
and and then this you know mother who lives in
this uh seedy um motel I guess in Orlando. But
it's something about it's just not in total depression, you know,
what I mean, Like I think about it, that has
like a little glimmer of maj to it. It just
makes it's uplifting a little bit too for sure. Well,

(18:05):
since we're on that note, No, I'm gonna say maybe
one of my favorites of all time is the Young
Girl and Beasts of the Southern Wild. I don't know
how to pronounce her first name, but it is. I'm
gonna try, uh kuban Zanni Wallace perhaps boy. She was good,
just adorable and um, I don't know if that director's uh,

(18:29):
I think it was him that made that movie called Wendy,
And I don't know if that that was I think
that was supposed to come out this year, and was
it pushed back or did it come out. I think
it came out and it did. It's sort of like,
did it not do well? Didn't do really well? And
it was pretty pretty panned. Actually, I don't know, because

(18:52):
the trailer makes me literally cry. It looks so good. Interesting. Yeah,
that's just it his pointing because it was years and
years between that and Beasts. Uh. Let's see when you
know what I'm reading right here at thirty eight percent
on Rotten Tomatoes and it says, Wendy dares to do
something different with its classic source material. You know it's

(19:12):
based on Peter Pan. Unfortunately, the breath taking visuals are
at odds with the flawed take on the story. Interesting.
That's really disappointing because it looked so magical. It looks amazing.
Even the poster is really striking. Yeah, um, well, hopefully
comes back with something else. I'll watch it here. Jade
Anna Rosenberg says a Florida Project nol so. She said

(19:35):
the girl who plays the main daughter, Brooklyn Prince, is incredible.
Yes she is. Alicia Deats, one of our old friends,
says the kids from a Quiet Place crush it. Facial
expressions and emotions are so well played. Yeah, they were good.
I thought it did a really good job in that movie.
Uh favorites Henry, Henry Thomas and et that comes from

(19:56):
Philip Ashworth. Yeah, he was great. So it was Drew
barrymore h I told you my Henry Thomas story right,
saw him an aerial Pink show. He's that guy because
he's like, you know, you can't put your finger on
it when he's like forty yeah, and I I feel
like I know that guy. And then there as someone
pointed out that it was Elliott for me to he's
around a lot because he was in that show The

(20:17):
Haunting of Hill House and then they shot that all
here back when you know movies were a thing. Okay,
so here look, someone pronounces it for me, Ashley Crowley,
thank you with the pronunciation. It's actually pronounced uh quabn
uh quabin. Johnny Wallace and Beast of the Southern Wild.

(20:38):
That's the girl from from Beasts. Okay, great, you saw
that right when it came out. I need to see
it again. That's the one with like the big pig. Right,
it's not a pig, but it's like a kind of creature. Yeah,
it's like a ward hog, yeah or something. Uh. The
kids in Monroi's Kingdom, that's from D. C. Hoover. Yeah.
They were good too, and you got to throw Jojo
Rabbit in there. Yep. Some of the best kid acting

(21:00):
I've seen it in a long long time. It's so
subtle too, Like the the Chubby Kid. I loved him.
He's just really really good timing, really good comedic comedic timing.
He was hysterical. Oh here's our old friends. Stellin Carlson Hey, Stellan,
how you doing, Bud Hayley, Joel Osmonton six cents yeah,

(21:21):
nowal Iportan Apportman and the Professional that's from Heidi Lauman,
Dakota Fanning and I Am Sam that's from or old
friend Javonne Boudette. Charles Martin Aaker is one of our
good friends, says Elijah Wood. And McAuley Culkin and the
good Son. Yeah. M macauley Culkin. He's a little precocious,
but ultimately likable. I think, well, the good Son was

(21:42):
creepfest man, that was good with him. A little little
Elijah would uh. He's sort of like he's like a
like a demon child, kind of murderous, little little little bastard. Yeah.
And Elijah Wood is kind of the sweet one, and
he has to contend with his evil. I think it's
like his cousin or something he goes to live with,
Like his mother passes away and he has to go

(22:02):
live with McCauley culkin and his mom. Christian Bale and
Empire of the Sun. That's from Kevin Hurban, our old friend.
That's right. I always forget how long he's been in
the game, dude, it's crazy. Yeah, boy, he was that
that movie was so good? I think that was Spielberg too, right?
Where did he just produce that? No? I think you're
all right, Seth Nixon says, all the goonies yo, okay.

(22:25):
More votes for Beats of the Southern Wild. Yeah. Boy,
she was so good at that Hushpuppy. What a cute,
cute character and just heartbreaking. Many many votes for her
nol quickly, quickly, quickly unrelated. Have you seen Hamilton? Did
you see it on Broadway? Or when? When? Like? Live? Uh? No,

(22:46):
but I'm excited to see the Disney thing here in
a couple of days. So excited. I'm glad I still
have my account. I've been really wanted to see it,
and I'm looking and apparently it's just it's getting rave reviews.
Like the way it's filmed, apparently really captures like the
maliaic of kind of seeing it live. Uh, we'll be
watching that this weekend for the fourth of July, which
is a week ago in real time or in in

(23:07):
podcast time. Did you know that Quest Love was one
of the producers of the Broadway show? No, but it
doesn't surprise me. He is got his finger on the pulse.
My friend he's the Quest Love. Boy. Did you see
the b ET Awards the other night when they did
the sort of modern version of Fight the Power. No,

(23:28):
they had Chuck d and Flavor Flavor, and they had
a bunch of guests doing uh, updated verses about you know,
the current situation and the Quest Love the DJ and boy,
oh boy, he was doing the scratch and knoll so good.
That song is still so powerful. Yeah, man, he does Um.
He does these DJ sets on Instagram like almost every

(23:50):
night of the week. Uh, and they're all the and
I highly recommend anybody check them out because he talks
during them and he gives you like he's he's just
like encyclopedic music brain, so he gives all this act story.
He did a whole series, uh, for a whole week
just with the Jackson's, and I didn't realize how fucking awesome,
Like the Lesser Jackson's solo records are like Tito and

(24:11):
the Lesser Germaine, like their solo records are really strong
and there's some great great songs on those, and they're
just such deep cuts because you don't really think of
him as having hits per se. But um, he turned
me onto a lot of that stuff, and uh I
got to interview him. Uh two weeks ago for the
internal sales thing. Um, yeah, they've got a nerd out

(24:31):
and it was really fun. Yeah, that's cool. I did
one of those with Jake with our buddy Jake Disgrace
Land and check that out. Yes, yes, Jake is a
good guy. So here we go in all with our
final segment today. What movie scene just rex you emotionally

(24:56):
every time you see it? Like, how many times can
you fry about the same scene? And my answer is
every time if it's if it's that good. Yeah, yeah,
you got one. I'm gonna think on it for a second. Alright,
think on it. We'll start with Luke Harkell Roade, one
of our old friends. Is not a scene, but during
the credits of Last Jedi when they dedicated the movie
to carry Fisher with the line for our princess, she

(25:18):
was an absolute treasure. Never been so affected by a
celebrity death in my life. Yeah, that was It's very
when you way to end that film, let me see here,
Joshua Green says Interstellar when Matthew McConaughey is watching his
daughter on a video after they were on the water Planet,
his emotion when she's talking to him as an adult woman. Yeah, man,

(25:39):
that was It was one of the few parts of
that movie. I loved. Let me see here. I've never
heard of this, Lisa Millner or Millar says the Brave
Little Toaster when he jumps in the machinery to save
his friend. I don't know that movie older you. Yeah,
it's like a kid's movie from the nineties. I want

(25:59):
to say the name. The name says it all. It's
about a brave little toaster and a bunch of other
kitchen appliances that go on an adventure. I've never seen it. Actually,
our old friend Honeu the Suri says Coco, basically the
whole movie. Yeah, remembered me. Oh yeah, oh yeah, so good. God,

(26:20):
that movie so good. I'm having a hard time thinking
of one. That's because you're heartless. No, that's true. As
my kid, I cry to drop of a hat my
friend and she mocks me, uh brutally. Yeah. Well that's
just how it goes. You get older, you get more emotional.
Leah Bush says The Green Mile with this line of dialogue.

(26:42):
Please boss, don't put that thing over my face. Please
don't put me in the dark, don't make me go
into the dark. Eyes afraid of the dark. And she said, Oh,
I'm gonna cry just thinking about it. Yeah. I only
saw that once, me too, in the theater when it
came out. Yeah, the one time, or for me. Jeff
halperin one of our oldest of friends, says, the ending

(27:04):
of a rival, Oh boy, you and me both brother,
culmination of the choices she made and will make are
so powerful and painful. Can't stop the tears. God, that movie,
rex me, rex me. It's a good one. Uh. Beaches
when Barbara Hershey's character is dying and Bette Miller takes

(27:24):
her to the beach one last time. That's from Jennifer
Hoke Kramer. Yeah, or our old friend Alec Glasnovitch. This
is the ending of the Florida Project. The well of
emotions on Mooney's face when she sees Jancy even before
she starts tearing up, but puts me right on the
edge of being an original bottle. I actually saw that

(27:45):
one only once. Um, and I absolutely was crying at
the end of that movie when she's running away and like,
but it was, like I was saying earlier, it was
a kind of cathartic cry. It wasn't like, oh my gosh,
this is oh dire. It was just like it had
this powerful uplift inside of me that I felt just

(28:06):
and it just you know, converted into water works. That
makes sense, you know what I mean? Yeah? God, what
was the movie thunder Road. I've talked about this on
the show before. Jim Cummings as the police officer who's
dealing with the death of his mother and sort of
just losing his mind a little bit. Uh, the ending

(28:29):
of that movie, knol I And maybe it was something
I was going through at the time, but I was inconsolable.
I was crying so hard. I was like I couldn't
get my breath. I was crying so hard at the
end of the movie. Um, you did mention this film
and I'm not aware of it, but it sounds powerful.

(28:50):
So good. H Let me see here a J. Middlesteat
the end of Iron Giant. Oh Man, Superman destroys you
and teaches you so much God, Iron Giants so good?
You saw that, right? No? I did. Yeah, I've seen
it a couple of times and it's beautiful, classic old
school animation. Yeah, let me see here inside out from

(29:13):
Katie Thomas, the whole damn movie. Yeah, that was a
tough one. Dancer in the Dark, Oh boy, Oh yeah,
that's yes, that's yeah, that that's definitely up there. That's
from Hannah ha. She said. I saw it twice, once
because I wanted to see it and once because I
wanted to show it to someone. The first time I
cried hysterically towards the end. The second time, I cried
hysterically pretty much right from the beginning. Man, I haven't

(29:37):
seen that in a long time. Emily and I saw
that on it one of our early dates in l
a uh, and I haven't seen it since. That's a
tough one. Yeah. My friends do a movie podcast called
Video Drum Cinema and they recently I was a guest
on it talking about there to be phenomenon this horror movie.
But they recently discussed that movie and I I just

(29:59):
messaged him. I was like, Nope, I don't ever need
to see that one again. Like it's it's wonderful. It
is a damn perfect movie, but it's just so sad,
and it just gets worse and worse for this character
and it's just you you want her to succeed and
you want things to turn around for her, but they
just don't. And it's yeah tough, be about to cry. No,

(30:24):
Sidney Wolford says, two scenes in movies spoiler spoiler for
terms of endearment. Uh, you know that movie wrecked me
When Debra Winger has to say goodbye to her kids.
Oh Jesus, I can't even take that scene. And then
it's Steel Magnolians when Sally Field is screaming after the
funeral about her daughter being dead. Uh yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes,

(30:46):
all those things. No, there's something about it though, that's
really cathartic for me. I love I love being wrecked
by a movie. Not always, but it feels good in
a way. Yeah, it is weird, And like I said,
I mean most times, you know, when my kids catches
me crying, it's because I'm just loving something. It's because

(31:08):
I I'm moved by it, not because I'm sad or
because it makes me, like you know, feel bad. It's
it really is like a very human feeling. And that
think that's that's that's what connects us all and then
and then when we really connect with a character with
something that you can relate to, that's just that's what
triggers it sometimes for me, you know. Yeah, I see
Sally Fields uh and Steel Magnolia's is getting a lot

(31:31):
of love here. Stephanie Munden says the same thing. Oh boy,
here's the one for you know from Fox Rayne Matthews
top fan and old friend, the movie Lion. Did you
see that yet? No, I've heard nothing but amazing things
about it. Though. Boy man, I'm not gonna even say
what happens then, but it's uh. Fox Rayne Matthew says,

(31:51):
I grew up in foster care, so it tugs it
some deep emotional roots and destroys me every time. You
ain't kidding, brother, that is a deeply affecting film. Uh.
Amy Ball says the endo Barmageddon when Harry saying goodbye
to Grace and he rips oxygen out pushes a j
back in. I saw that on my brother's first date. Yes,

(32:15):
I tagged along with his now wife. That's really sweet.
That's a very cute story, Matt Dent says. Jesse Song
and Toy story two yep. Maddie Baldwin says the Fight
and a Marriage story is too real, brings me to tears.
Just thinking about it. Yeah, that's when we talked about this, Chuck.
That's when I haven't brought myself to watch yet, because

(32:37):
you know, I went through a divorce and all that
stuff is a little too real for me, and I
don't know that I want. I'm sure it's really really
well done, but it's just not something that I feel
compelled to want to experience again. If that makes sense now,
I hear you. It's a It could be very triggering.
I imagine another vote for Arrival from Jason Wallace James

(32:58):
Baker the first scenes of Up. A bunch of people
mentioned that, but this is from Curtis James H. Calch Thaler.
Cool name. Let's do a couple of more Janna Maria.
The ending of The Notebook, when Ali briefly remembers her
love with Noah again and then her Alzheimer's kicks back

(33:19):
in and elderly Noah makes that saddest cry face and history,
Oh god, the end of the Notebook is so sad, nol.
I haven't seen I haven't seen The Notebook. I think
I unfairly thought of it as like a teen kind
of movie, and I mean, you know, it's Nicholas sparks.
It is what it is, but it's very well acted.
And you know, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were falling

(33:41):
in love in real life, so that always is pretty
impactful on screen. You know, it's good stuff. It seems
like good chemistry. All right, let's do a couple of
more because this is getting sort of sad. A movie
I haven't seen yet, Babel Audrey Arizoza since the Nanny
Lost in the as It with the kids kills me.

(34:02):
Did you ever see Babe? I did. It's been a
long time. Um, it's great. It's it's it's sort of
like a shortcuts type movie where it's like a big
ensemble cast and different intersecting storylines and stuff. And is
it it's one of those um Mexican directors that's like
sort of in that click with like Alfonso Koran and
in a re too. And I forget which one actually,

(34:24):
I think it's the one that did twenty one grahams. Yeah, yeah,
that's who it is. I always get those guys confused,
which is my bad. Well, no, I mean it's they
all came out kind of at the same time here
in the States, and they all knew each other though
it was definitely like a little kind of collect collective
almost you know. Okay, well then good I don't feel
so bad. Let me see here seven pounds. It's from

(34:45):
Peter Fisher, right at the end when the character he
gave his life for they find each other. Uh, and
let's finish up with um let me find a good
one here. Oh, here we go, we'll rivera at the
very end of calling me by your name, I've been
in that emotional place and it's devastating. Yeah, well that's

(35:06):
a good one. Goodwin, Goodwin. Alright, uh nol, I think
that I'm thoroughly bummed out now. And uh I mean
you to leave us on a down er. No like this,
I'm gonna go uh walk into traffic. Oh no, but
this makes me want to This makes me want to
see a sad movie. Actually, just rewatch thunder Road. I

(35:28):
gotta see this thunder Road, Chuck. This sounds like medicine
for the soul. It's really good man. He's uh, he's
a very talented guy. I can't wait to see what
he does next. This is his first picture. Yeah that
he you know, micro budget written, directed, starring uh you know,
it's two dollar budget. It's one of those crazy it's

(35:50):
great all right, nol. That wraps it up for me.
You gotta get up on out of here and do
other work. Yeah man, same, get working on that book.
