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

(00:28):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. It's just
a manic Mini Crush Monday. Who's that by the Bengals
the Bang? I always confused the Bengals with Banana Rama, Okay,
I mean, I know that's a little insulting. The Bengals
were the superior band, I would say, right, Oh, I
mean they were both great. And then there's the Go
Goes too, so that maybe I'm just being a sexist

(00:50):
and conflating all eighties female focused bands. What's wrong with me?
Off to the Go Goes were truly superior. I think
there you go. I knew one of them was like
the sort of holy grail of that era. Yeah, there's
a great you at least uh to everyone know. Um,
there's a great documentary on the new documentary about the
Go Goes on Showtime that I highly recommend. Do you

(01:14):
do you go out for Showtime? Chuck? Do you have?
Do you do? The piecemeal cable package ala carte thing
that we were dreaming of for low these many years
and now it's a reality, and it's just kind of
fucking annoying. I don't think it's annoying. I got a
lot of yeah services as it turns out, though, Um,
I was kind of counting him the other day, and
you know, I'll get one. I got the Epics one

(01:34):
because I wanted to see that Laurel Canyon documentary. Now,
I was just sitting there gathering dust. Echo and the Canyon,
that one with fucking Bob Villain's son. The good one different,
a better one. Oh good, because we've talked about this,
my my feelings about that, and there's good. The archival
stuff is good. But when Jacob starts running his mouth,
I'm just like, oh my god, Yeah, move on. Yeah,

(01:57):
it's uh. The the other one's really really good. Cool.
I love those, all those bands. The whole era is
just magical to me. L A holds a real special
place in my heart as far as like music and
that sound. Yeah, And well, you know, since we're talking
and I've been plugging rivals like crazy. Uh, I just started.
They just dropped the I think what will be a
three part series on Crispy Stills, Nash and Young and

(02:20):
the David Crosby episode debut. First, Uh, do they talk
about that documentary that you mentioned recently? They do well,
they talk about that. They cover everything. I love those guys.
That's so good to hear. Chuck and I have passed
that onto them and need to figure out a collab.
He know they're they're fans of yours as well. Yeah, well,

(02:42):
I'll have to get them on the movie Crush too.
I'm sure they could hold their own in the movie
depart no doubt, no doubt, solid pop culture guys. Stephen
just came out with a book on kid A the Radio,
The Seminal Radiohead album really a whole book record. I'm
really excited to check up. Boy, I tell you what
noll there is. I mean, I love all of Radiohead,

(03:04):
but when you turn the lights down and everything in
its rice right place, just like I just start shivers
thinking about it. Yeah, those opening notes are some of
the It's one of the best entrees into a record
in history. It's so funny. I'm literally getting tingles just
thinking about that. It's such a special album and you're right,
one of the great opening songs, and and such an

(03:27):
interesting album for them because it was like, okay, Computer
sort of dipped the toe in the water of that
electronic kind of stuff, and then this one just like
jumped off the cliff, like yeah, high dive style, just
kick the door open. One of one of my favorite
bands and all of all time. And I know we
talked about it before, but they're they're they're not slipping

(03:50):
at all, Like a moon Shape Pool was one of
my favorites of theirs. It's great, yeah, no, And it's
like they're the kind of band that wouldn't do it
if they didn't just love it, Like they wouldn't put
out a record if it wasn't like important to be
part of their whole uvra. Yeah, And I think that's
why they take their time. I saw recently, Um, not Johnny,
but his brother is that Colin Greenwood. Colin said something

(04:13):
about new radiohead music and he says, we're we're gonna
do it, and you know, we just take our time
like they're gonna do like five or six years in between.
I think, oh yeah, Well, each of them always has
their own little stuff cooking, like Pill the drummer even
made a solo record, and uh Ed O'Brien recently came
out with a record. It's a very Brazilian influenced. I

(04:35):
think he spent a lot of time in Brazil. And
it has sort of that world music kind of vibe
to it. It's cool. Actually, the interview might have been
with Ed Obrian now that I'm thinking about it, because
he was pumping that new album. Yea, alright, Noel, let's
get going, buddy, let's do it. I got a little
treat for you in the next segment. But this segment,
we're gonna start out with, uh, favorite revenge movies at that.

(05:00):
I don't know if you like revenge movies, but I do.
I do big favorite. Well, there's an amazing Asian revenge
trilogy Korean by Chan Wook Park. Old Boy is one
of them. Then there's Sympathy for Lady Vengeance did not
see It? And Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Those are both excellent, Chuck.

(05:22):
If you liked Old Boy, you will like these, and
they are. They're not like related character wise, but they are.
There's revenge trilogy. All right, We're gonna check this out,
of course. Yeah, I'm sure there will be some kill
bills in here, a great one. Blue Ruin one of
my favorite little indie revenge thrillers. Uh, and we're going
bottom up again, Noel, to give the late crushers their
due you know, I listened to that episode last night.

(05:44):
Just sometimes I'd like to in the wild for fun,
because it's almost like hearing for the first time as
we we do so many of these sens forget we
talked about, and I love the bottom up thing. It
was delightful to hear from new people and it gave
you even like found a cousin or something on there,
you know, knew so cool. Alright, So we're going truly
bought him up with Kelly Conklin And she says Home
Alone bad, that sort of a revenge movie in a way. Yeah,

(06:09):
that kids a fucking psychopath. Well I'll tell you what, man,
I don't know what it was. But when I saw
that movie the first time, I thought that whole break
in sequence was one of the funniest, like fifteen minutes
I had ever seen in a movie. Oh it's great. Yeah,
And like there was a thing on Netflix a while
back where it was movies that almost didn't get made

(06:31):
or something like that, and Home Alone was on there,
and um, it showed how storyboarded all that stuff was
and how like choreographed to a t that whole sequence was.
And they also had like a second floating camera that
was like a lower quality like bulex type camera used
like I guess there's thirty thirty two millimeter and this
was like sixteen millimeter or something, and they used that

(06:54):
to capture a lot of the overhead like slip and
fall shots, and they just had it running at the
same time. They ended up using it a bunch, even
though it was like a lower quality film or something
like that. I'm not a film nerds. I'm not using
the wrong terms, but it was interesting to hear them
talk about it. Yeah, it's a thirty five millimeter not
pretty five the number, and they probably did shoot sixteen,

(07:15):
which is you would think it would be half, but
it's not. And I think I think the reason is
the sound strip. I don't think you might be right.
I think that's that's exactly right. I don't know. I
don't know either, but would he would know? Uh? Jennifer
Adolph says, Fatal Attraction pretty great revenge movie, and it's

(07:35):
just a great thriller all around. Was that pre basic instinct?
You know? They were right around the same time. I'm
not sure which was first. There's that golden age of
erotic thrillers right there. Golden Age of Michael Douglas's penis. Oh,
actually you don't see his penis, but you can imagine it,

(07:56):
you know. I think he should have shown a little peen. Yeah, now,
you know, just to just to to match to put
his penis, wear his mouth this hang do you think
you should hang? Doug? Doug? A lot of kill bills,
David Mills, t J Danny, Sean McFarland, a lot of
people differentiating between one and two. I'm not seeing that.

(08:19):
I mean to me, it's a package. I agree, I agree.
And in fact, wasn't there a rumor of like some
big ultra long single edition that he was gonna put together.
I hadn't heard that, but I'd support that. I would too.
I haven't seen those in forever. I'd like to check
those out again. Cruel intentions. I like me a little
cruel intentions. That's from Laura Byorkland and I do too.

(08:42):
And she posted a black and white gift and that
reminds me. Noll. I saw a post the other day
on the Crushers page where someone said something about black
and white Tim Burton's Batman looking better and black and white?
Have you There are clips where people have transferred to
black and white, and it looks awesome. It makes sense

(09:03):
because the design of it is so like, I don't know,
I feel like it's already such a muted palette that
it makes a lot of sense to guts. It's all
about light and dark and just you know, black and white.
I watched that with my kid the other night. I
at least started to She wouldn't stop ragging on it.
But she liked it. I could tell, because it's just,
you know, it's just like it very much is its

(09:24):
own thing, Like it's trying to be this noir kind
of like stylized thing, so it doesn't even feel like
an eighties movie or like, I don't think it like
is a of the time. But she thought the Batman
costume was really stupid looking. Really, it's a pretty standard Batman.
It's a little boxy, it's a little around around the face.
That's a little boxy. But she I could tell she

(09:47):
was engaged. But that part where the joker, like you know,
uses that joy buzzer and fries that guy to death.
I mean, that's that's pretty funny. That's pretty fine. Check
out some of those black and white clips and all
it really works. I will the danger of and Gail
Koontz is Deadpool. Sure, a lot of John Wicks to Noel,
Joe no Church, Rob barr uh more, kill Bills oh

(10:14):
or old Buddy uh or Old Buddy Allison Keller says
John Tucker must die. I never saw that, but I
heard that was pretty good, sort of a little tongue
in cheek thing. Uh. Is that? Okay? It's a movie
something else? Yeah, and I don't think I as seen that.
What about? Are there are there any v for Vendetta's
on there? That's a good one. I'm not seeing any

(10:36):
v for Vendetta as yet, but your your pal to
odd clients as Mandy, Yeah, I love it. Man after
your Heart, I love it. And speaking of Michael Fang
says Batman, Uh yeah. I mean you could make an
argument that most of the Batman movies or revenge movies,
it's all one big revenge. He's upset because they killed

(10:57):
his mommy and daddy. Spoiler Noel, Oh, well that's an
origin story that we've only seen that in eight movies. Now,
exactly how do I google this Batman black and White?
I know that sounds like a dumb questions I'm literally
giving Burton Batman black and white, and nothing comes up
on the YouTube's Oh it auto corrected two statues, so

(11:17):
it's showing me actually figures I got it. I got it,
I got it? What did it? What did it? Statue
come from? It just it like auto did it. But uh,
I don't know no word. I'm saying it was like
one of those Google instant where it was like, that's
something a lot of people google. Yeah, Oh it looks great.
It makes perfect sense the way it shot to do
it this way the chemical plant heist scene. Oh it

(11:42):
looks great, does right. I don't know how they if
someone just that's probably pretty easy to do, and they
probably did. You see the Mad Max Fury Road black
and white. Addition that that was actually officially put out
or it's like on the DVD or something. I don't
think that. I mean, be it works, but that movie
was such a vibrant color blast. I didn't understand it,

(12:05):
but it was something they wanted to do. I think
he initially wanted it to be in black. Mike Relio
wouldn't let him. Yeah, I think I agree. Amanda Gilson
says Hard Candy I never saw that and so does
our old buddy Gaston Caroline Gaston. Yeah, I need to
check that out. I heard good things about that. Isn't
that with Juno? Wasn't Juno in the is she look?

(12:29):
What's her name? What the hell's her name? You mean Juno?
Or the Ellen Ellen page Ellen page from Juno? I
think she like is basically torturing like a sex offender
for the whole movie. It's one of the I've never
watched because I don't go out for those those tortury movies.
They just made me squirm too much. But I have
heard it's very good. Yeah, I think there's a lot

(12:50):
Like I love revenge movies, but I think the torture
stuff is where I draw the line swift death. Yeah,
is what I'm looking for. Noel, there you go. Ray
Scantling says, does John Wick count I mean it's sort
of the only going in that movie. It's revenge, right? Yeah?
Is it is it? Would you say? It's specifically about

(13:12):
the dog? Sure? And and is a big blood lusty exactly.
Chris McIntire says there will be blood. Totally agree Michael
Reid's as the Limey how is there will be blood
of revenge? Movie. Oh, I mean it's it's I think
it's sort of one of the central focuses is the

(13:34):
revenge between plain View and the Preacher. Boy. That's right,
that's a good point. I never thought about that. It's
been a long time as I've seen it. I need
to watch that again. That's such a excellent film. Cheryl Creech,
Signer or Senior says, Carry the original Carry. There's a
few of those on here. Forture, Patricia Ray Escavaria, great names.

(13:58):
John Wick again, Jaws for that's from David bo Bennock.
Oh goodness, is it the Shark getting revenge? I haven't
seen Jows for. Well, it's called Jaws for Colin the Revenge,
so I think. So. First Blood that's from j. J
uh Leat So you know, I don't. I would argue,

(14:19):
I don't know. First Blood, it's such a well maybe
it's a revenge movie. Yeah, I guess it's a revenge movie. Okay.
The Revenant that's from Hans Bronzel. The Revenant, Knol a
movie I could only sit through once, even though I
really liked it, but I didn't want to see it again. Yeah,
it wasn't particularly pleasant, but it's it's definitely good. Um

(14:40):
what about the Crow, Chuck, how do you feel about
the Crow? You want to know something? Nol Huh never
seen it? Okay, Uh No, I don't know. I guess
it's it's not like an important movie. I mean, it's interesting,
the whole lore behind it, with Brandon Lee getting killed
and all that. By the blank I was supposed to
be a blank, but I I really loved it when

(15:01):
I was a broody teenager. I don't know how it
would hold up to watch today, but I think it's
a It's definitely a good revenge story. I don't know
why I didn't see it really, I mean it was
in college. It was sort of right up my alley
looking at it. I don't know the crow got by me. Hmm.
I think maybe I don't know. I have no audition.
That was a good revenge movie. Great soundtrack, Oh my god.

(15:21):
Audition is That's one of those movies that just like
threw me for a loop. I didn't know what I
was getting into. It sort of tricks you and thinking
it's sort of a melo drama, and then like halfway
through or even three quarters through, it just shifts gears
and goes full murder fantasy, like it's really upsetting. Gone girl.
That's from Abbie Bleakly. I love all these new old pals,

(15:46):
new old pals. I love that. Let's finish up here
with a true old pal. Cat gim Bruno says, is
it bad that my mind went right to Heathers? No,
not at all. Heathers. That's one that that that that
that slipped under my radar for many years, and I
corrected that a few years ago, and I think it's
just great. I should mention. Emily Lloyd says nine to

(16:08):
five on the lighter side for sure, great revenge movie.
I love that movie. Is that what that we talked about?
That that's with Dolly Parton right, Yeah? Yeah, the the
trio of Fantastic Ladies. Uh, Cat Blue Wow, that's old
school Jennifer fitz Fee, Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin cat Belue.
That's a good old school movie. Nol probably never heard

(16:30):
of that, have you? No? I haven't, But you know
I did start watching the other day was Clute. I
started watching Clute Clutes great? Yeah, I mean about halfway
through I just said it wasn't because I wasn't enjoying it.
Something came up, or I know it was my kid
came home and uh, she wasn't down for clute, really
cool noir vibe very seventies, like very slow to get going,

(16:50):
but then once it does, you're like kind of invested.
You can find me in the conversation. I'm definitely gonna
finish it. Yeah, good stuff, all right, and we will
truly finish with our old pal and top fan Trish
laughterhouse gilbreath with the girl with the dragon tattoo, and
she says, the American version, I thought they were both
really good. So you know, it's one of the few

(17:11):
times that a remakeup of foreign film I thought was awesome,
and I thought the Swedish version was super awesome. All right, Noel,
So what we're doing is we're gonna invite in a
little special guest, something we don't normally do for a
new bit, a new game guest, a guest that is right,

(17:32):
and so we want to welcome to the show old
favorite casey Pegrum, everybody. Hey, hey, hello, Okay, look at
that special guest. I feel like I've I've been I've
been summoned from the from the ether. Uh you indeed,
have you materialized before my very eyes in zoom form,
at least not corporeally. But yeah, you know, we're we're

(17:56):
still working on the corporeal manifestation. But that's that's that's
some next level what's next level magic? Right? So guys, uh,
welcome to the show Casey again. And what I decided
to do last night, it's like I need some new
bits and need some new segments and it needs some
new fun games like a little movie games, Nol's holes.

(18:17):
It's a lot of fun. But uh, I thought we
would do a game, and originally was going to do
do this with Noel, but then I thought, you know what,
I give Noel enough ship on the show, and I
don't want to just design a game for for knowl
to fail at because that's not fun. But I thought,

(18:38):
you know who would be good at this would be
Casey because here it is. It's a timer game. It's
called pop Quiz hot Shot. And what what we're doing,
Casey is We're going to go through ten questions in
which you have to name three movies of you know,
with a certain clue. But you have ten seconds for
each question, okay, for possible thirty points. And I thought

(19:03):
the timer aspect might rattle Noll a bit. And are
we competing against each other? Are we ding ding dinging? Now? Okay,
this is all so okay, and it is just here
to observe. He's here to observe and to help me
with the scoring. And if there are any uh um,
what do you call it? Like anything? We need to

(19:24):
look at referee kind of situation. Perhaps a time breaker? Yeah, yeah, so,
and here's the old do Casey. I'll do a timer.
I should have done all this beforehand. But I'm gonna
make two columns and I'm gonna do hashtags in each column.
Uh that's my scoring method, Casey. You might not be aware.
It's very very esoteric. What are you really going to

(19:45):
score it? I absolutely will score it, Chuck. I need
to work on scoring like a normal human and not
like a freaking weirdo. What what should I use for
my for my chime? Um set? An alarm or a
time us loudest and obnoxious and yes yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yeah exactly yeah something. That's what Hodgement always did. He

(20:07):
called it the clackson. But what is that called on
on an iPhone? Do you know? Let's take a little
it's definitely not called slow rise. We've got how about ripples?
Something very gentle. No, let's see, that's what I used
when I wake up. All arm actually crazy right now

(20:28):
is what we're doing. No, they love it. They love it.
By the seaside Beacon since people tuning out. My daughter
made this for Meff Gundam to knocka It's like it's

(20:52):
an anime thing. Oh, Internet, do you love us right
now or what? None of these seem right? They all
they're all so gentle sounding. There's there's Presto. All right,
I'm just gonna be Presto. It's Presto's good. It's obnoxious enough. Well,
you know, we do have a producer, Chuck. We can
just have him like replace you know, your folders crystals

(21:13):
with taster's choice. You know, maybe we should just replace
everything with like get a sound fall of nul burping
and then just loop that. Yeah. I have a whole
voice memo devoted to just bodily sounds of mine that
I used for music. I just sample to make beats
out of all. Right, casey, are you nervous? Yes, I

(21:34):
think you're gonna do well. I think it. Don't think
about the timer. Yeah, okay, we got our own care
we got our scorekeeper, all right, and just concentrate on
the question and then three clues, and I just named
the movie as soon as I can figure it out.
You'll see, all right, you have ten seconds, Casey, to
name three movies with colors in the title. Blue Velvet,

(22:00):
it Blue Valentine, Oh god, Red Sparrow? Is that a movie?
Oh that's a good question, Casey. Is Red Sparrow a movie?
It is? Right? Wasn't that the Jennifer Lawrence thing? Yeah?
Is that what it was called? Yes, it is. You

(22:21):
got that one, Casey, one hashtag and the left column
for you, my boy, I think you got two right,
Blue Velvet and Red Sparrow. No, you did three. Okay,
but don't you just get one point if you get it?
What is there partial points awarded? It's a possible thirty points. Okay.
So I got three out of three? Yeah, you got
three out of three. Okay. We also would have accepted

(22:41):
the trilogy Red, White, and Blue. Oh god, yeah, we'll see.
That's the kind of stuff that would take me a
little more than ten seconds to come up with. Under
the gun, I know you, Casey, I thought you were
gonna go right for that. So wait, it's ten points
per movie, thirty points per round, or the possible thirty
total for the game. I'm sorry, three three per movie, right,
and three movies. It's one point per goddamn answer. Okay,

(23:07):
he just got three points, so you're doing thirty questions,
ten questions three ea. Okay. Oh I should have known
you said one point per answer. Yes, I got it.
There three answers. I got it. Okay. Great. You made
it sound like it was it was all or nothing,
though I felt that way too. That's why IM up.

(23:30):
It's all my fault. That was clear. No, no, he says,
we're all We're all complicit here, Chuck. All right, I
feel like I should change this now because I had
it loaded for Knoll, So, uh, I'm gonna skip that
for now. I'm gonna come back to it. So we're
gonna go with this one now, Casey ready, in ten seconds,

(23:52):
name three movies not in the same franchise scored by
John Williams Star Wars. Did you know that's how we'd
I was gonna see Lord of the Rings as Hard
for Jaws, John's the franchise, right and Indiana John's two
out of three. I'm sorry, all right, buzzer got me?

(24:13):
And what you can't do, Casey is say you know,
I was gonna say Lord of the Rings, but I
think that that's kind of a waste of time. Right,
ten seconds goes fast, doesn't it? Is it to ten?
It's ten? Right, it's ten. So two out of three
not bad? Two out of three ain't bad. It's a
meat loof song. Do you feel like ten seconds is
two little time? It's not. It's just that these are
these is a nightmare scenario for me. So I'm just

(24:36):
ten seconds. It's like a ton of time. It should
be called lightning. I'm into this. I'm into this. Do
you wish you I'm I'm kind of jealous that I'm
not in the hot seat, honestly, but when you're crushing it,
you're crushing it. Casey. Let's let's let's let's go. Let's go.
All right? All right, Casey, I'm sorry. Do you wish
you had not answered your no? I'm actually on the
fun all right, all right, Casey? In ten seconds, name

(25:00):
three action movies with female leads. The speed count, sure, sounder, bullet, Okay,
Jesus almost said a time now I don't know. I
hate action movies. Who cares? That's my store loser answer

(25:20):
one O three. We also would have accepted mad Max
Fury Road, Atomic Blonde Terminator to Alien. What's the nineties one? Um,
that nineties action movie with a woman? That one, Well,
it was kind of that novel at the time. It
was like marketed that way. That's a good point. Um,

(25:41):
I don't know. There was that one with a blank
slate right now, Well there's that one with Bridget Fondah.
Yeah yeah, point of no return, point of no return. Yeah, yeah,
that would have worked. Y e see when there's no
clock guys, clock man. Alright, not bad, I meant, all right,
now you're you're doing a great Casey. Not really take

(26:04):
my compliment. We'll keep a running tally too over over
the next year. Okay, okay, kind of make it up
over time, and we'll see how nod does can build
back to the new Casey. Trust me, Noel will spend
eight seconds going, uh, that is not true, Chuck, and
that's not fair or nice? Uh an articulate boy. All right, Casey.

(26:31):
In ten seconds, name three movies that involved bank robbery, Oh,
dragged across concrete heat, and uh I could I could
have just said speed again. Is there a bank robbery

(26:52):
and speed? I don't know. No, I don't think they're great.
I was trying to I was trying to go back.
There's like a there's a late twenties movie called like
the American Gun Slinger, the Great gun Slinger, just the
Gun Slinger, And I got stuck on the nuances of
the title, and and then my brain just decided to
screw it. Do you know what else would it work?
Batman the Dark Night has a good bank heist, but

(27:12):
there's too many. That's the problem. It's like this, the
embarrassment of choices in my brain just like says, no,
none of it something you want to go with. You
want to go with the coolest ones too. Well. Also,
I was I had I had this suspicion because of
this list you would send me last night and all
that this might all be art house oriented. So for
the last like twelve hours, my brain has just been
like art house world. And now I'm like, I've got

(27:34):
to think like Hollywood mainstream, and it's just not happening today.
Chuck chuckles. To go broad for these quizzes, you guys
will turn the tables on me. At some point I
will take the same quiz and uh to your design,
and I'm sure it will be nerve wracking. By the way,
that reminds me that speed thing reminds me that one
of my favorite Simpson's Jock's Ever do you remember that

(27:54):
one about speed? But but I Homer was telling a
story about the movie Speed, and he said, it's it's
about a bus whose speed couldn't drop a little fifty
because the speed dropped and the speed wasn't right. Then
it's speed and he said speed like eight times and
he went it was called the bust that couldn't slow down. Casey,

(28:18):
for the record, you're you're tracking a really interesting pattern
right now. Your scores are three to one two. So
now you've got nowhere to go. But ups on, there
we go, all right, Casey? In ten seconds, name three
movies starring Sean Penn, Tree of Lice, Uh, The Indian Runner.

(28:41):
Why is it always the third that kills me? Um,
Jesus Christ leaving Las Vegas jumped into my head. That's
that's Nicolas Cage Curly. Really, I don't know, Good God Man,
Walking would have been the Oscar Baby one that might have.
I think that's what fear and I think that's what
fear and loathing leaving. That's that's Vigo Mortenson directed by
Sean Penn, so that doesn't even count. I'm one for

(29:04):
three on that one. All right. We also would have
accepted any movie starring Sean Pinn. The Timer is so
nerve wracking, right, It's horrible. It's the worst thing in
the world. Yeah, all right, but it's fun. Okay, No, Casey,
both of you are you keeping scorn? All? Oh? Yeah, okay, Casey.

(29:27):
In ten seconds, name three movies starring Susan Surrandon. I'm
gonna with this one, um, because I'm trying to remember
the death Row movie. Um when I just mentioned dead
Man Walking. Ironically, dead Walking, start Timer. That's when the

(29:48):
thoughts begin to flow. Dead Man Walking starts Sean Penn
and Susan Surrandon. That one, alright, zero wow, Sorry Susan
on that one. She's what's the one in the car
they go over the cliff them a speedman. Louise was
called the car they couldn't fly. Okay, Casey, you've got

(30:09):
to get this one. I'm gonna be so mad at you.
In ten seconds. Name three black and white movies? Uh,
what's the one on the Island? Um, Citizen Kane, the
Grapes of Breath? All right, what's what's the fucking lighthouse movie?

(30:31):
The Lighthouse? Jesus Christ? This is this is my nightmare.
I am living my nightmare right now. We're capturing an
audio form. This is fun for all of us. This
is this is good. Oh boy, Uh Grapes of Breath.
That was a nice call out. Well, I was like
john Ford and then for some reason, that stupid Lighthouse
movie popped in my head and for some reason I

(30:52):
couldn't just call it the Lighthouse, And yeah, oh man,
this is way more fun than I thought it was
gonna be. I really, I'm not looking forward to doing
this myself. These are not hard questions. That's the thing, Like,
that's the whole point thing in the world. It's fun
to see, uh the movie guy, not know anything. It
tends to make you choke. It's just something inherent about

(31:14):
like the pressure of the time. I've always you know,
I've always thought that like when you're watching Jeopardy at
home and you just like can run the board and
then it feels like if you're actually in that situation,
you would not be able to name anything at all. No,
Kim Jennings, you know said that. I mean, in this
no surprise. That's the biggest part of the game is
just being good at the game. Not knowing. He said,
everyone up there super smart or he like knows a

(31:37):
lot of stuff. He said, you gotta be good with
your thumb, and you've got to be able to like
fucking chill out. That's right, which I imagine is easier
once he won a few of them in a row,
you know, maybe al right, Casey, in ten seconds, name
three movies set in the Old West, The Quicken, The Dead, Um,

(32:03):
Good Lord, my Darling, Clementine, stage Coach. Hey, look at that.
I finally got past the third one. It's for some
reason I get I psyched myself out as soon as
I get to I go. I tried to go for
something fancy and it does not go well. Stage Coach.
That's the one with the stage coach. It is indeed

(32:23):
the one with the stage coach. They're just all up
in there the whole movie, right pretty much. Yeah, yeah,
I know, I mean, that's that's that's the bulk of
the movie. Is that stage coach. Al right, Casey, two
more name in ten seconds as a reminder, name three.
This is that you're either going to choke or you're
just gonna spit out. Three in a row. Three movies

(32:45):
with sex scenes. Wild Things, Um, good lord, the color
of the night? Um based against give it jump chock,
come on, well give you got it right on the buzzer.
Good job. Did I say the color of the night

(33:06):
or the color fine color of night? Why did that
pop in my head? Because you're a horned all I
know why Wild Things did? Because yeah, okay, it's quite formative.
I could have shut show Girls. I could have said
a million things. I don't know. Color of night was
pretty steamy. I remember seeing remember that one being in
the old the old Cardinal Knowledge, the mech Nichols. There's
a million things. All right, Casey, last one nod? Can

(33:31):
Should we get a point total going in the final round? Yeah? Seven, eight, nine, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
seventeen out of seven. So Casey, that means I'm actually
going to use the original query, because all right, I
think you will get three out of three. If you don't,
then you need to go to the doctor. God help you.

(33:52):
I might I might need to. All right, Casey, in
ten seconds, name three movies directed by stay Lee Kubrick,
The Killing Killers, kiss Um, The Shining. Okay, I was
trying to name his first movie, if You're a Desire,
and then it was like I couldn't come up with it.

(34:13):
I just said, okay, screw at the Shining Alright, So, uh,
twenty out of thirty is that right? No, that is correct. Yes,
that's not that's a solid sixty. I would say that's
respectable given this is the first time this game has
been trotted out in the movie Crush Universe. Yes, and
you were the guinea pig. I think you did just
just I think I have to. I feel like meditate

(34:35):
before the next one. That's the thing. I have to
clear my mind of hard any any distraction, and then
I can let these answers emerge. Well, I think what
happens is when you're in a timer situation. Uh, everything
rushes to the front of your brain at once, like
I think, exactly, I think you could probably it's a
traffic jam. Yeah, you could do an m R I
probably and literally see like a bottleneck of information right

(34:57):
before it gets to your mouth. Exactly. Yes, Casey, do
you have like another six or seven minutes to stick
or yeah, I'd love to. All right, well, we're gonna
finish up with stream this where we just talk about
what we've been watching lately. I'll go first because it's

(35:22):
very quick. I'm still watching Dark. We are close to
the end of season two. Uh the mind bindy German
time travel. Uh, jeesus. Just it's a lot of things.
It's very lynch in, um, very very good show. I
don't know if you've seen it yet, Casey. It's a
it's a lot to wrap your head around. Um. They

(35:43):
there's a website that's very handy and trying to keep
track of everyone because there are iterations of the characters
through different time periods, and it's a lot, but it's
it's really, really, really good. And although I have not
started watching yet, I do want to shout out The
Boys season two, which I cannot wait to get into.
The great I think it's Amazon Prime right now, that's correct,

(36:03):
And I think Dennis Quaid's son is in that. Friend
of the network. Okay, well, it's a great, great show
and I can't wait to get back into that. So
that's what I have been watching and what I'm going
to dive into next. Who's up I'll go, I've I've
I've mentioned it on the show before. I was having
really wanted to see it, but I put it off
because I thought it was gonna be too heavy, and

(36:24):
I've been trying to avoid super heavy stuff. But I
may destroy you. Uh, maybe the best television series I've
seen in a decade. Um it is. Uh. It's it's heartbreaking,
it's funny, it's psychedelic, it's got like really cool stylistic choices,
and it's you know, the story of a young woman

(36:46):
who has her drink spiked at a bar in London
and loses time and wakes up and and knows something's wrong,
but doesn't know what's happened, And because memories start to
emerge and she starts piecing it altogether and it's almost
becomes like this detective type story where she's sort of
on the hunt trying to figure out what happened to her.
But it's so much more than that. It's about uh,

(37:08):
social media taking over people's lives, and it's about consent,
and it's about all of these incredibly you know, um
important topics that are very you know of the of
the of the moment um and the creator whose name
is escaping me right now. She did another show called
Chewing Gum on h on BBC that was supposed to
be fantastic, but this is just an absolute masterpiece. I

(37:32):
couldn't speak highly enough of. Her name is Michelle A. Cole,
and I would highly recommend even before checking it out,
like read up on her a little bit because she
has a fascinating background where she grew up in a
kind of a poor, UH immigrant community. I believe her
family is from somewhere in Africa, Um I can remember
the exact UH part um, but she grew up in

(37:53):
the immigrant community, like in kind of housing developments in London,
and UH ended up in a dance per program that
was like part of a Pentecostal church, and she became
heavily Pentecostal UH and then realized that she only really
did that because she appreciated that they gave her this
inroad into creative expression. She kind of abandoned the religious

(38:14):
side of things and started doing UH drama and theater
classes and she met like a benefactor who helped pay
her way through like a really great drama program. And
then she wrote a one woman show that ended up
becoming Chewing Gum Um and the story of I May
Destroy You actually happened to her. And it's just the
most confessional, but not in a cloying kind of way.
It's just I can't speak more highly enough of it.

(38:34):
It's just can't wait, really fantastic. By the way, her
parents are from Ghana. Yes, um, all right, Casey, what
do you what have you been watching? It can be movies,
it doesn't have to be TV. Okay, perfect, because I
was gonna say, there's not that many recent series that
I've you know of? Note um for me, I would say,
there's this recent documentary called Jasper Mall. Have you guys
heard of this? It's two guys went to um film

(38:57):
in this kind of like dying mall in a Asper,
Alabama for about a year, and um, it's it's very
much in the spirit of like an early Errol Morris
film where it starts off being about one thing and
kind of becomes about something else. Just the more time
that he spends in this place, you meet these characters. Uh,
the guy who's like the there's this one guy who's

(39:18):
like the manager, the janitor, the you know, business liaison.
He basically does everything at this mall. His his life
is a small He's the ex proprietor of like a
kind of bootleg zoo that was happening in Alabama where
there's just like tigers and all kinds of unsafe stuff
that's just like behind like uh you know, very rudimentary

(39:41):
wire fences and so on. Um, he busted out of
that zoo and now he manages a small and um yeah,
it's it's like a really interesting commentary on just the
nostalgia that my generation particular has for them all. And
um yeah, the way that retail is kind of um
uh sun setting perhaps. I mean it's it's all pre Corona,

(40:03):
but it feels like very much like the same tendencies
are are being uh you know, strengthened by by all
of that. Um it's the score is really really good. Um,
it's got great cinematography. Um it's just one of those
like Lightning in the Bottle movies where they went to
this wall. They didn't know that guy was going to
be there. They didn't know they're gonna find all these

(40:24):
other interesting characters and um yeah, and it it unfolds
like a discovery because it literally like unfolded in front
of them for that whole year they're that they're making
the movie, and um yeah, it's just a really really cool,
like small movie. Um. Probably the best thing I can
say about it is like after I finished watching it,
like I wanted to go out and like start shooting
something immediately because it just had that feeling of like,

(40:48):
you know, there's the who would who would think such
an interesting film could come from such a kind of
mundane environment, But you realize, like life is interesting everywhere,
and um yeah, ultimately, I mean it gets into without
without overtly saying it. I mean it really is just
like sort of what does the meaning life of? That
is kind of the ultimate takeaway from the film. It's
it's very kind of philosophical once you get all the
way into it. You know, Casey, you might remember I

(41:10):
sent you a text asking if you were around, and
then I never responded to you write your parents, Uh,
And it was because a friend of mine was shooting
a music video at the North decabinotch which is are
kind of dying mall total, which we've talked about on
the show A good bit, Chuck. You have fond memories
of that growing up, is that being kind of the
flagship you know, badass mall right, And I mean it

(41:32):
was pretty good. I worked there for a short time even,
so yeah, and then now it's just real sad and
weird and like half open and and during Corona now
it's apparently just like a ghost town. And so they
were they were able to go film there almost completely
un um sure, you know, interrupted um really lack security.
They were able to go all around and get crazy shots.

(41:54):
And my friend was wearing a green screen suit and
they they shot all this crazy stuff there. But I
was gonna see if you had some kind of lens
adapted they but they ended up figuring it out. Um.
That's I'm fascinated with dead malls as well. There's actually
a website, uh in an Instagram account called dead malls
that just photographs of like abandoned you know, malls because

(42:15):
they're too big to do anything else with unless you
repurpose them into some kind of like community center or
do something really creative with them. That's the whole problem
with malls is like no one can afford them, but
yet they just sit there derelict. You know, it's very strange. Well,
That's one of the really interesting things about Jasper Mall
is that you do realize that it is kind of
a community center because there's all these kind of like

(42:35):
retired people that just hang out there every day and
like play card games and visit with each other, and
you realize, like this is like this is fulfilling the
function of like a kind of a public space, even
though it is this commercial mall that's like decaying it
has it's sort of been repurposed into like a place
for people to like walk, you know, go on their
morning walks and stuff. And um, yeah, it's just it's

(42:57):
just very very um, something very touching out it. And
I will say I have filmed at North Dacadam Mall
as well. Um Paul and I made a short there
a few years back, and we were not hassled at all.
You know, we we got all the shots we needed
without security ever picking up on it or even particularly caring.
I think that's great. It sounds cool, man. I want
to check that out because that is one of my

(43:17):
favorite things when a documentary or a piece of art
like that starts to something and become something else. Yeah,
you can. You can find it on YouTube. I think
it's like four bucks to rent. It didn't really have
a theatrical run because it came out just as the
pandemic was starting, so um, even though it was kind
of made for theatrical in mind, it's it's had this
life online and um, I think I think word of

(43:38):
mouth has kind of spread about it. Anyway, It's it's
really really cool. I hope people will check it out.
Sweet the s Town of Abandoned All Documentaries. Yes, there
