Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
(00:28):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Very cold
here in my basement, Noel, how about you? It's a
little cold in my studio. The heat doesn't circulate in
here as well as it does the rest of the house.
I have a little bit of like a wonky heating
distribution system. My bathroom gets like sauna level hot, and
then this room just gets like none of it. So
(00:49):
I don't understand. But I'm no HVAC experts, So what
do I know? Well, no, you're not on the show
because of your HVAC expertise. I know when I'm hot
and I know when i'm cold, and that should be enough.
Well does that mean you can come over and fix
my heat? I'll give him, I'll give it my best.
Have you seen Brazil? Sure? Remember the amazing role played
(01:12):
portrayed by uh Robert de Niro. He's the rogue heating
and air expert. It's good stuff. I don't know if
you can see this, chuck, But what do you got there? Hey? Wow,
who's that little thing? This is a stell. This is
Eden's sister, and Eden is the dentist with her mom
(01:35):
right now, and I volunteered to watch her so that
she didn't have to wriggle around the the waiting room.
She can't hear me though, right, she can't hear you.
Hold on, she can now say hi, stell? How old
are you? How many fingers is that? Three? Oh? Boy?
I have a daughter who was five, and I remember
three was a lot of fun? Are you do? You
(01:56):
have a lot of fun? How was your Christmas? Talking
to him? My, what did you get for Christmas? She
got a Mr Potato had a giant Mr Potato had
full of smaller Mr Potato heads. WHOA, that's awesome, right,
that sounds super cool. Yeah, well we're gonna do our show, babe,
(02:18):
but you can hang out. Just be a little quiet,
all right, But you can hang out in here if
you want very nice to meet you. Yeah, you can
get the kiddy, but be very sweet because she's a
little feisty working for home. Everyone. Boy, this show got
a whole lot cuter than it was the best. That's wonderful.
(02:41):
Love the guest appearance. So I thought what we would
do here? First? My friend is and this circulated a
while ago, but I never saw it. But someone at
some point found a handwritten note that David Fincher had
scribbled his favorite twenty six movies and no particular order.
(03:02):
I'm not aware of this at all. Yeah, it's pretty
cool and and it you know, has it found its
way online a while ago, and I think has been
reborn recently because I just saw it and looking over
the list, and we'll just kind of list through these things.
It's really kind of cool because they're mainly movies as
opposed to this case cinematt Have you seen mank yet?
(03:24):
By the way, Chuck, now it's on the list. It's uh,
it's all about getting Emily in the right mood to
watch it, because she wants to, but she's got to
be in the right mood for that one. I'll tell you, Chuck,
it's less of a mood k neater than you might think.
I thought the same thing, and I realized it's just
fun and it moves like Gangbusters. I think you guys
will both really dig it well. And you know, you
and I both, along with many other people, obviously agree
(03:47):
that David Fincher is one of the new masters. Not new,
but you know, one of the current masters of our
gen of our generation. Of our generation, him and Kanye Right. Uh,
so let's go through these moved he's here, he's got
um and it's interesting how many of these have been
covered on this very show. But he's got Butch Cassidy
(04:08):
and the Sundance Kid. Great movie one that we covered
here with early early, up, early, very early up with
Mr Paula Tompkins. Chinatown, classic film that I covered on
the show. That's right, yeah, and then it should we
play Knowles holes while we're going, Uh, you, well, I've
seen Now what's the classic line? I always get it wrong?
Business like it's Chinatown, baby, Yeah, that's it. Don't worry
(04:33):
about it. It's Chinatown. Then he goes sing pop yeah,
forget about it. It's only Chinatown. I think it's uh,
forget about it, Jake. Now I can't even remember you.
I'm so sorry, con Chuck. We'll figure it out, all right. Uh.
Next up we have Dr Strangelove, another movie we've covered. Amazing.
(04:54):
I watched Being There the other night for the first
time in a long time with the Amazing Eater sellers
um and it's just great. It's it's something about it.
It's like it's somewhere between satire, and like pure realness,
and it's like kind of funny but kind of sweet
and kind of sad. And I highly recommend everyone. It'll
make you feel good. Put it that way. Yeah, I mean,
(05:15):
that's a you just described how Ashby's filmmaking career sort
of as a whole. Uh. Taxi Drivers up, I'm sorry,
Godfather two is up next, and then Taxi Driver just
back to back. De Niro classics amazing. I mean, these
are some of the best films of all time. I
love this. His list is like kind of straight up
(05:36):
great movies. The line, by the way, is forget it, Jake,
It's Chinatown. Forget it, Jake. That's right. Uh. Next up,
Noel was being there, oh ship right on. He must
be a big Peter Sellers guy. Hm, how can you
not be, except that he was kind of a garbage
human in real life. That's what I hear. And I
read something very interesting and I forgot about this at
the you know, the movie. I'm not going to do
(05:58):
a spoiler, but the movie ends in a way that
could be divisive to some. Let's just say it could
be interpreted in many ways. Yet it really really can.
And I and I'm not gonna spoil it because it's
a movie that a lot of people have not seen,
and I highly recommend it, um as do we all,
as does Mr Fincher apparently. And it ends with credits
rolling over a deleted outtake scene of Peter Sellers cracking
(06:18):
up trying to say this line and Sellers, yeah, you
tell that asshole. What's his name, Raphael or whatever? Yeah?
Exactly um And Sellers hated that they did that. He
thought it cheap into the ending. He thought it cheap
into the whole punch and the mystique of the character.
He thinks. I think so too. I didn't forgotten about that,
(06:39):
and it just read that and then saw it. I
was like, what a weird choice. Yeah, I mean, you
know it's outtakes are always funny. Seeing someone break character
and crack up is always funny. Bloopers are always fun.
But I think in this case, yeah, I totally agree, Like,
you built all this mystique up about this sort of
(07:00):
other worldly character, uh, and who are they even? And
then to end on a blooper reel of that character,
it does kind of knock it down. It happens instantly too,
after the big punch of this final moment that I'm
edging around. It happens boom instantly before you have a
chance to like think it's jarring. It's really jarring. How
(07:21):
made an odd choice. There's a very strange thing to do. Agreed. Uh.
Next up is a movie I have not seen, and
I really want to all that Jazz. I haven't seen it.
I think the Bob Fosse Classic could really I want
to see that. Actually, just that's a big hole for me. Uh.
Next up we have Alien. IM pretty sure that's on
if you have HBO, Max Chuck, I'm pretty sure all
(07:42):
that Jazz is on their Little Turner Classic Movies collection. Okay,
all right, I'll have to check that out. Yeah, and
you know, he ended up directing an alien entry into
that franchise, and not a very good one, kind of
one of fentures only missteps. I think I believe it
was like just after seven or maybe just before, but
it was definitely considered like an odd choice and not
(08:04):
a particularly great movie. Um but and I think it's
almost like one that you don't even consider part of
his v Well you can't do that, and all you
can't say just throw out the bad one. I guess
you're right, Chuck. I guess you're right. Um, but I
know what you mean, and not like a finer movie.
He kind of absorbed into this franchise and kind of
(08:25):
a director for higher situation as opposed to an autour
kind of thing, which is literally everything else that he's
ever done. I'm surprised we have no one's picked up
movie yet. I'm dying to do Alien on the show
Aliens so good? How do you feel about Aliens? That's great,
They're all great. Yeah, well they're not all great, but
they're all fun. Well, it's funny too. Like. Speaking of
odd directing choices, one of I think Alien Resurrection was
(08:46):
directed by the team that did Delicatessen and City of
Lost Children exactly they directed Alien Resurrection. I believe. I
think you're right. Next up we have the classic Alfred
Scock film Rear Window. Uh. Next up we have the
Woody Allen classic. Uh, one of the first mocumentaries, zelig great.
(09:09):
I am all holes when it comes to Woody Allen. Uh? Gross?
Have you not seen any of his movies? Literally, I've
seen Midnight in Paris. Yeah. I think that's the only
one I've actually seen all the way through interesting. Uh yeah,
he's he's problematic to champion these days for many years,
(09:30):
not just these days. Next up we have Cabaret. I
think that's another Bob Fossey movie, if I'm not mistaken, right,
I do believe that's right, Yes, Cabaret movie. Foss it was?
Was he like he did all the choreography too, right?
Wouldn't he have been very hands on with that stuff?
I think that he was like a dancer, musical choreographer
(09:52):
or dance choreographer guy. Yeah, yeah, I think he was
the full multi hyphen it yeah on on. On PDA,
he's described as an American dancer, musical theater choreographer, actor,
theater director, and filmmaker. Nice resume, nice nice CV, as
they would say them. And he did the Lenny Bruce
(10:14):
movie starring Dustin Hoffman, Yeah, which which which I believe
has zero dance in it, I'm not mistaken, and no dance,
no dance at all. Next up, we have a movie
that Josh Clark used to call his favorite movie. Uh,
paper Moon, m M. But these are all great. Of course,
Jaws is on their next I love it. Fincher, wouldn't
(10:35):
know you love not do that? Lawrence of Arabia. Another movie.
I've covered so many of these on the show Lawrence
of Arabia, that I have not seen that one. I know,
after you did it, I was like, you you you
hadn't seen it either, right or No? I had not
at the time. Yes, that's right, And so that's what
made me really want to take the plunge, because it's
one of those ones you hear about and you just
(10:57):
hear how epic and gorgeous it is, and I just
I've always missed it. So I'm gonna put that on
my list. Now. I have a list, by the way,
that I'm actually keeping up this lady that I've been
seeing who hasn't seen a whole lot of movies, admittedly,
but loves movies. So I've been making this list of
stuff for us to watch together. Some of them are
movies that are my old favorites that I want to
turn her onto, and some are like things that I
think we'd be fun to watch together. So I'm gonna
(11:18):
put Lawrence of Arabia on the list. Yeah, I mean,
that's one of those movies where you're like, do I
really need to see Lawrence of Arabia, And the answer
is yes, it is that great. Next up, we have
a movie we have not covered in here, but I
love very much All the President's Men. Uh. Next, it's
a whole for me. Yeah, all right, you've got some
Fincher holes, do do? Uh? Next up? Eight and a
(11:41):
half Fellini's eight and a half. I mean that this
that one dance is closest to sin them all? Is
anything on the list? I think? Sure? Great movie though
I've seen all these except for the fosse ones. Uh,
Citizen Kane, how do you not put that on there?
Totally great movie. They of Heaven. Oh boy, he's really
(12:01):
after my heart. Another movie I've covered on here. Uh
Animal House, Oh that's fun. Look at Fincher with his
Animal House. Pick. People love Animal House. I think he's
of the right age where that would have been like
a important movie for him growing up. And it might
be some nostalgia there. Yeah, because You Contend does not
(12:22):
age well as a comedy for modern audiences. I did
not find it so, but I know that people who
love it grew up with it. Well that's me. Yeah.
Road Warrior, Oh, Fincher seems like a lot of fun
to hang out with a Road Warriors. The original right,
that's that's number one. Road Warriors, number two, Mad Mats original. Okay,
(12:43):
got Road Warrior is great? Well, they were both great. Um.
I was about to say Fincher is probably a lot
of fun to hang out with and watch a movie.
But I've heard actually, who was it that told the
story about watching a movie with David Fincher. Oh, it
was one of his actors, maybe ship I can't remember,
but one of his actors said that he told the
story about watching a movie. Ad picture is pretty terrible
(13:05):
because all he does is sit there and kind of
nitpick it out loud and not in a grumpy way,
but just like, why would they put the camera there?
What is that light coming in from that back room?
What is that all about? Like the minutia. Next up,
we have another mel Gibson movie, a movie that I
think is sort of underrated. That year Year of Living Dangerously.
(13:28):
I am not even aware. Great movie, tell me more
about it. Uh, well, it's mel Gibson, um, sort of
a younger mel Gibson. It's a story. It's sort of
a love affair period piece. Okay, Australian movie. Peter Weir.
Of course, that's why it's great. Great, great Peter Weir, Oh,
(13:49):
gorgeous poster. It's one of those like classic hand painted,
like old Hollywood type posts. But it would have been
what in the seventies, Uh you early eighties, I think, yeah,
eighty two You're Living Dangerously, very good movie. Uh. Then
we have American graffiti, classic Americana. The Terminator. That's fun
(14:09):
that he would put that on the list because I
will say, there's something about The Termina We've talked about
this where it's almost more like a slasher movie than
it is like a sci fi movie. And I love
the like eighties kind of you know, like neon drenched
nostalgia of that and the soundtrack and just like the
whole like unstoppable kind of Michael Myer's nests. That is
The Terminator, No for sure in ages pretty well, you know,
(14:32):
like the the effects look a little corny at times,
but it fits the era and it it's great. It's
still a really fun watch. I think Monty Python and
the Holy Grail amazing. He's covering all the bases. And
then the last two are The Exorcist and The Graduate.
M hm wow, I mean this could this could be
(14:54):
my list In many ways, it's quite a good list.
The graduates so fun because it's like the Graduate too,
me is very like proto wes Anderson, Like it's like
it's kind of or like it's it's it's very Rushmore
esque kind of. It's a little more straightforward and dry
than that, but it has that same kind of wink wink,
kind of like ryeness to it that I really like.
Uh that sets the tone for a lot of those
(15:16):
types of movies to come. Yeah, I don't. I don't
think Wes Anderson would deny being influenced by the Graduate
in some ways for sure. Uh yeah, all right, Well
let's move on. I asked the crushers this yesterday. Noel
(15:36):
got four hundred replies. Oh goodness. Uh, and I can't
believe I had not asked this yet. If you could
have a successful career in movies, what would your job be, Um,
what would your job be? Nol Uh? Shoot, man, I
swear we've done this one before, maybe not this exact one. Um,
I would Yeah, I would love to be like a
(16:00):
music director or like soundtrack curate tour supervisors supervisor exactly. Yeah.
I could see you doing a really good job doing that.
And well it's a tough record to break into, though,
I'm sure because everybody wants it. Mix tapes, Yeah, I
know how to make Yeah. Well it's fun too because
you know it's called spotting when you actually sit down
(16:21):
and watch the movie and and plant the queue, uh
you know, along with the director, but they lean on
the music supervisor to to do their thing and exercise
or expertise to Alright, we're gonna start with Anika Razak Ahmed,
great name. Uh working with budgeting. I want to know
(16:42):
what goes into making a movie. Sounds boring, but I
would love a cost breakdown. Yeah, that would be uh.
I mean a lot of people have their hands in
that pie. But um, generally that's the line producer anica,
unless you really wanted to work in like payroll or something,
and that's that's sort of different. But the line producers
who kind of helps the budget stay on track and
(17:05):
make sure everyone has what they need. But that's after
the budget has been determined, right, so the budget gets
greenlit basically with the picture or they they say we're
gonna greenlive this picture, green lave this picture and give it,
you know, a thirty million dollar budget, and that's it,
not anymore but the line producer is is who comes
up with that budget along with the director and the
(17:25):
studio and everything. But they literally have to do and
Emily did this when she was a producer because sometimes
jobs didn't have line producers. But it's called the budget
breakdown and their software that helps you basically fill out
this huge spreadsheet like when they budget a movie. They
just don't think. This feels like a twenty million dollar picture,
like they have it lined out like we need this
(17:46):
many people, we need this many actors, we need an
animal wrangler, we need to stunt people in this day.
And you know it's very meticulous, is how they come
up with that number, and then they have to negotiate
that number obviously and loose stuff like do you really
need that stunt person? Yep, that kind of really need
that explosion? Yeah, exactly. Let me see here, I've been
(18:08):
Louise berkeshare, great name. I'm sorry, butcher that practical special
effects designer, animatronics and budgeting creatures. I'm sorry. Building creatures
always been my dream. Wow, that's amazing. I love seeing
all these different jobs. Uh, Hannah, like no one said
director yet, Hannah Duffy says fully artist Trish latter House
(18:29):
Skill Breath winner Our Old Friends has set deck set
decorator who loved a shop for things and then decorate
all types of settings. That is a fun job. I've
done that. Are they Are they the same person though,
the people that actually do the buying or does that
a separate job? Well, I mean it depends on the job.
If it's a small TV commercial, you might be buying
the stuff and in decorating the room. But on big
(18:50):
movies you have shoppers who go out and do that.
I've been a few set deck people here in Atlanta
who kind of have their own like collection of ship
you know what I mean. They have like their own
little shop and they'll just like, oh, this will work
really well for this, and they'll just bring in their
little trinkets and you know, stuff like that. And also
there's a few houses around here that actually almost are
(19:11):
like these you know movie you know, um prop type houses,
and they have like yard sales occasionally where you'll go
buy all this weird miscellaneous furniture and like trinkets and
cups and cutlery and plates, and it's all stuff that's
been used for set deck in different productions. Yeah, a
prop shop going out of business sale was a lot
of fun. I've actually been to one of those. Uh,
(19:33):
Scott deal. One of world friends says, I'd love to
be a behind the scenes still photographer. Yeah, set photographer.
That is also Scott. I'm not sure if you knew this,
but the person that usually um one of those stills
becomes the movie poster. Interesting. Uh, Usually when you see
the movie poster and it's from the movie, it's not
(19:53):
like they just said, hey, let's just steal that frame.
It is actually a photograph that the set photographer took.
That makes sense. Quick, quick backtrack, Chuck, because I'm now
very fascinated by this movie The Year of Living Dangerously,
which we spoke about earlier from everyone will probably remember
the actor Linda Hunt, who famously was the like visual
(20:14):
I think she maybe does the voice to visual inspiration
for that weird little character and the impossible in the
incredible movie Lynda Hunt. She is in Living Dangerously and
was nominated for or She One rather an Academy Award
and she became the first person to win an Oscar
for portraying a character of the opposite sex plays a
(20:35):
male character and that that's fascinating. I really putting that
one on my list now because of that that pushed
it over the top. No, I love Linda Hunt, but
that's fascinating, and now that I've been looking it up
and seeing some stills, it looks like a really fun movie,
like a very interesting movie. So I'm looking forward to.
Austin Handler, one of our oldest friends says, uh, he's
an interior designer now, so feasibly I could transition to
(20:58):
set designer, but would rather be director, cinematographer or director
of photography, which is the same thing as a cinematographer. Yeah,
Austin's at your sides high my friend might as well.
You know what I would want to do, nol director.
Oh yeah, you should. You could do it, Chuck, you're
good at You're good at Boston people around. Uh. Editor,
(21:18):
that would be a lot of fun too, because I
love the edit process. But oh yeah, yeah, if you're
if you're a director, I mean you also sit in
the edit bay a lot of the time and help
make those decisions, so it's like a collaborative kind of
process a lot of the time. Tracy Fox, I want
to be the person that creates props, prop master, I'm
sure there's a technical term and I don't know. Yeah,
I mean the prople or something like that. Well, I mean,
(21:41):
you know, sometimes there can be a prop shop where
you are actually building things if it does not exist.
But the prop master also just works with the props.
Like I think the rule is anything the actor touches
is a prop as opposed to a decoration. Got it. So,
like you know, if you pick up a pop watch
and look at it, it's a prop. A gun is
(22:02):
a prop. And oftentimes they'll have to have like many
many duplicates of it or like different versions of it,
especially if it becomes a plot point in the movie
and like you know, kind of travels with the character
throughout the movie, they might have to distress it a
little bit or have different versions that look a little
different over time and stuff. Uh. Nola worked on very
(22:22):
few movies, but I worked on a low budget movie
called The Good Humor Man, and it was a superiod
piece seventies movie about these high school kids, sort of
a dazed and confused kind of thing um in which
I worked with a very young Jason Segel. Actually I
don't think i've ever told that story. He was in
the movie before he was anybody, and I remember him
telling me stories about, Yeah, I'm worked with Jack Black
(22:45):
on this thing and I got a lot of things
in the fire, and I was like, you know, everyone
has those stories. I was like, yeah, buddy, sure and uh,
what do you know, Jason Siegel? But I was the
joint roller uh on that movie because they needed lots
of joints. The prop department didn't know how to do
that right, and I did so as a p A.
(23:06):
I rolled all the joints and I even requested that
my on screen credit b P A slash joint roller.
That's amazing. And I'm looking this up, Chuck, and it
has uh the dude that played Hugo and Lost was
in it, which is or Hey and uh Kelsey Grammer.
What was he like? I've heard he's an odd character.
(23:26):
He was actually very nice and I buddied up with
his uh the two women that he worked with in
his production company where there are a lot and they
ended up being like good friends of mine for a
little while. He was very nice. He had bad feet,
that was his deal. He uh had he had problems
with his feet. Had that were special shoes and kind
of spending a lot of time on his feet was
(23:47):
troublesome for him, but he was a remake. There's a
nineteen fifties movie that Jack Carson not not a remake
at all. Um, But yeah, Jorge was in it, and
he was actually in it because the director was a
guy who directed all the TV commercials I worked on
for like two years, and he um Rye from Lost
(24:07):
was in almost every one of those TV commercials, So
I worked with him all the time. Very nice guy,
and when he got on Lost, it was it was
awesome because he was such a good dude. Like uh,
Caroline Guest and one of our oldest friends says, I
very much wanted to work in casting and maybe in
another university universe where I hadn't met uh that boyfriend
(24:28):
at that time, and that kept me for moving away.
That's precisely what I'm doing, all right. Yeah, casting is
a lot of Funsting is great. Oh that's that's a
fun game to play, just like on the show. We've
done that a million times where I say who would
who would be pick for this biopic or whatever? You know,
I love this fun. The good charl pal David Gooch
screenwriter or character actor, I feel like writing is what
(24:51):
I'm best at. But I'd love to be that guy.
I love that. I don't I don't think that you
you don't get to say I am now a character
the actor. I think. I think history has to decide
that's what you are, you know what I mean? Yeah,
but I mean, sure, what kind of I know what
he's saying, though I know what he's saying to it.
I'm mainly teasing. But when you think of a person
(25:12):
who's an amazing character actor, you think that because of
their resume and because it's really long and varied, you
know what I mean, and it just sort of happens
that way. I think, Yeah, but you also that that
can be something you should shoot for. If you're an actor,
you have a certain look and you know you're not
leading man. Material like that is an avenue you could
try to be a character actor, totally true, and use
(25:33):
what what the Good Lord gave you know what the shake,
what the Good Lord gave you on the screen in
various different ways. Let me see here. Meg bast Garan says,
I imagine someone on the production side calendar schedules, logistics,
creating call sheets. Yeah, so you would you would want
to be a If it was a movie, Meg, you
(25:56):
would probably be a unit production manager. Would be my
guests A U P M. Chuck. Have we talked about
the thread on the Crushers page about how much joy
it gives people when you butcher the pronunciation of their name. Yes,
I don't think we talked about it. But it's funny,
it's wonderful. Yeah, I do my best, but it's it's
kind of become a bit so that everyone has patience
(26:16):
with its No one gets mad. It's nice. No, no, no,
that's my point. Not only they not get mad, they
crave that. They're like, please, chuck, this pronounced the hell
out of my name. I'm sorry. D All the Smiths
and Jones is out there. I'll try and mispronounce those. Uh. Miguel,
Miguel Macgiana, great name, stuntman, but only as a driver.
I'm scared of heights. So, Miguel, what you would actually
(26:40):
want to be probably is called a precision driver. Uh.
And those people can do stunts, but they can also
be the person that just you know, drive sort of
fast to pull into the parking space in a really
quick way. Like sometimes they can't even have the actor
do something like that, you know, or like whip it around,
(27:00):
or like do a doughnut, but maybe not necessarily a
high speed car chase or stunt. Yeah, go out there
and do a donut, do a doughnut. Precision driver. Those
those uh, those people are always fun. Uh, Zach Hawkins,
I'd love to build a movie sets. I'm a carpenter.
Would really enjoy the fruits of my labor being immortalized
in a movie. Yeah, Zach, you would be a will
(27:20):
you'd be a carpenter or maybe what a carpenter? Hi? What,
that's the how it goes. But you know what I'm
getting at. Sure. Uh. One of our old friends, Kristin Bits,
a guy, says, I mean, if I could be successful,
I would totally be an actor. I've done tons of
life TV and have had a radio show for several years,
but I haven't acted since high school. But I enjoy it.
(27:43):
And while I'm not great, I'll commit under your premise
of being successful. That's great. Christie Caroline says our CAROLINSS
pyrotechnics or having to take the photos of the characters
for dressing the houses or whatever it's called. Okay, dressing
the houses or whatever. It's called I Love It. Yeah,
well that's actually that's kind of write on it. Uh.
(28:05):
Yavon Bodette, one of her old palaces, soundtrack maker do
her guy that adds music person to montagees scenes, dude,
I love It official. Jeff Noels, another composer, wants to
be a composer or a fully artist, and he says, hell,
I wouldn't mind just selling one of my songs. Yeah,
(28:26):
Jeff's musician. You know. I tell you, I gotta get
you the contact for this dude. And I'm totally spacing
on his name right now. It's a guy who does
He was one of the original guys that Adults Swim
hired to do uh music for a lot of their
weirdo cartoons. And he was sort of in the early
days of like Cartoon Network being a little more like
edgy and modern, and then it kind of created adult swell. Um.
(28:47):
He has this amazing studio in Atlanta where he does
fully work, and I got to go and hang out
with him and like see his whole little fully set
up and it was a lot of fun. I'm gonna
try to connect you up with him because I think
he'd be a great guest totally, man, that sounds great.
One of our old pals, Vanessa Cashman, says costume design.
I could watch entire movies and series based only on costumes. Yeah.
(29:10):
Brittany Jeldon says I would love to create title sequences.
They set the tone for the movie and can create
some great foreshadowing. Boy, everyone wants to do all these
fun jobs. Nol. I really love seeing how few people
are like superstar actor or big shot director. Yeah, exactly,
let me see. Nathan Ostroot says a location scout, What
(29:33):
a blast that would be. Well, we have a location
scout in our audience, Robert Paulson, maybe you should have.
Mike Sam says movie critic or is that bending the
rules too much? I love to write, but I think
it'd get too attached to ideas and be labeled a
problematic writer. I don't think that's stretching it. That that's
film adjacent world needs. Oh absolutely, Um yeah, Like I
(29:59):
think I've mentioned. Uh, there's a film criticism podcast out
of Chicago that I really did called film Spotting, And
they do a good job of like not being too
too too pretentious, Like they're they're accessible and they you know,
get a little pretentious here and there, but they're very
listenable and I highly recommend if you're looking for some
film criticism that doesn't make you want to stab your
(30:20):
eyes out, this would be a good one for you. Excellent.
One of our old friends, Jenne van Valen, says, Oh,
I'd play the chubby, quirky girl in small indie films. Jenna,
that's great. I'd be there, right. I would be the chubby,
quirky boy who was your best spell Yeah, and potential.
He was there the whole time, love interest, and in
(30:41):
the and then the third act, and then I took
off my glasses and I let down my hair, you know.
Erica Hogan says, I'm an accountant and I'd love to
be an accountant for a movie. Mom was curious about
the cost of movies and what all goes into the
creation of a movie. Paying bills and making sure it's
with him budget is the best way to do that.
I love that, Erica. You could do that. You have
(31:01):
the skills. Kevin Tully also wants to put together movie soundtracks.
Joy Layman wants to be an editor both creative and
insanely detailed sounds fun. It is fun. Amy Claude Felters
has set continuity. I'm the one who notices the tiniest
of misplacements where the glass that gets broken with two
(31:22):
different patterns from seven different takes. Yes, you would be
a script supervisor, Amy, is that script e? Yeah? Scripty,
that'd be a great job for you. I think I
broke scripty down. And one of our previous segments too.
Lea Mitchell, one of our Old Palace has set design rush.
Lle Jones says, I'm a numbers persons, so as sad
(31:43):
as it sounds that want to work on the account side.
I love all these people that want to be movie accounts.
It's pretty someone's got to do it. And if they're
if if you got passion for numbers, why not Yeah.
Louis Arrata says, if not a character actor, then a
folli artist. You got a lot of people. I don't
want to be fully artistical, because no one wants to
(32:05):
play in the dirt and make the clipperty clops and
punch and punch the ham punch the ham. Uh. Sammy
Cahill wants to be a prop master or shop for
the props. Alex Stock wants to do animatronics, special effects
and creature design. My friend p J. Sadski in l A,
one of my best friends, wants to be a fluffer.
(32:27):
Very funny t j A Pizang buzzinga uh. Sarah Aggie,
one of our old friends, went to film school because
she wanted to make documentaries like Planet Earth, but quickly
learned how hard it is to be a documentarian. Now
I'm a science teacher, but would love the chance to
travel and record animals in amazing places all over the world.
It's never too late, Sarah, get the camera or just
(32:51):
buy a couple of more iPhones and us to that. Oh.
I'm sure we've talked about this, and it's pretty obvious
to most people that watch these, but I think it's
fascinating and I just absolutely applaud these people like to
get like a ten second animal action shot. Sometimes they're
like posted up in the swamps for like a week,
you know, and and then the editing on those, by
(33:13):
the way, like it's just absolutely phenomenal where they edit
these things together, especially like in the Planet Earth series
or things like microcosmos like uh, what is it? Winged
migration where they make these stories that you know, I mean,
it's not like they're lying. There is truth behind them,
or they represent truth, but they edit these things together
to make these like narratives, and it's so meticulous and beautiful,
(33:34):
and I think it's absolutely just like such a specialized,
wonderful skill. You know. Terrence Malick was famous for doing
things like well, he's famous for shooting like millions of
feet of film for a movie. But one reason why
is he would send his second unit out and say
something like, hey, there's a there's a rare bird that
(33:55):
makes this sound, and go take a camera and go
spend three days out there until you can find this
bird making the sound and shoot it and take like
three cans of film with you. That's incredible and he
would get it. Yeah. Charles Martin Aaker is one of
Royal Palaces writer director. If I had the talent for it, yeah,
I mean, being an all tour is certainly a great job.
(34:20):
A bunch of people want to be fluffers, all men.
Imagine that, Uh, Kelly Butler Olson when Royal Palaces, I
would enjoy acting or on set teacher for child actors. Interesting,
that's really sweet. This is one of those roles you
don't really think about but it's so important. Yeah, they
were always uh onset teachers are always very nice but
(34:40):
also a little bulldoggie about making sure those kids got
their education. It was great. Like sometimes they'd be like, no,
they haven't got their hour, and like, you gotta wait.
I saw the most lovely little uh uh movie trivia
fact nugget the other day. I follow a all a
bunch of weird Facebook groups and one of them is
(35:02):
devoted to Danny DeVito. It's called Danny DeVito egg posting
because he's in his character and always saying for Philadelphia,
he likes eggs. And it was a post that says, uh.
It reminds people that Danny DeVito directed the movie Matilda
from uh. And then there's a little you know, text
exchange or like a common exchange the screenshot and it says,
hold up, Dany DeVito directed the most influential film in
(35:24):
my childhood. And then someone responded says, not only directed it,
but starting it. Took care of Marra Wilson, who played Matilda,
while her mother was in hospital with cancer, and he
even managed to get an advanced copy of the movie
for her to watch before she succumbed to her illness.
The man is a treasure. Wow, that's great. That was incredible.
(35:44):
I too, I too just exudes like goodness. You know.
All right now we're gonna move on to our final
segment today, one that Ruby came up with. I was
doing these last night. I was coming up with these
and Ruby walked up and I said, what are you doing?
(36:06):

There is no Dana, only Zool. That's my favorite, by far,
my favorite so far. Old pal Rebecca Robes says, Oh,

we're not watching Frozen again. I like Frozen, and I'm
fine with watching it again. But how many times have
(38:22):
you seen it? Oh? Plenty? No, I mean not not anymore.
When it came out, it was actually like a really
important movie for me and my in Eden because she like, really,
that was the first movie she really was like, oh
my god, I'm into movies. I love this movie and
the songs. Uh. And now she's a surly teenager and
it's I can't get her to love anything. But it's
gonna come back around, Chuck, It's gonna come back around.
(38:43):
Are you saying she let it go? Don't she let
a car? Dude? Now? She's so niche in her her
fandoms now, and it's things that I just don't really
fully like understand. I never thought it would happen, Chuck.
But that's where we are. Where we are. Erica Reneebo
SARTs says, knock knock, who's there, Harry, Harry? Who nice
(39:04):

like bits of it. I need to watch it. It's
I heard that it was that originally had a not
happy ending, no interesting. Yeah that that that that that
were swetten so that they like you know, didn't end
up together or whatever. Sammy Cahill, knock knock, who's there?

(40:57):

to go into sugar shock. And this is the sweetness here,
knock knock. This is from John Hewitt, knock knock, who's there?
I am? I am who? I am a Jedi like

(41:18):
I also would have accepted I am legend. I would
have accepted that, sure, knock knock? Who's there? Day? Day? Who? Day?
I thought that was maybe where that was gone. Petlejuice,
do you think this is sweetness? No? Or do you
think you're about to lose your mind from knock knock jokes?
It's well, I don't know. It's a combination of the two.
(41:40):
It is like there is something inherently corny and sweet
that as a formula that has to go to a
knockknock joke that makes them be pretty wholesome and kind
of sweet. I guess there could be filthy knock knock jokes,
but I don't. I don't have any time or place
for those in my life. Yeah, agreed. Bill Horton says,
this knock knock? Who is there? What? What? Who? What? What? Who? Say? What?
(42:07):
One more motherfucking time? Okay, winner, ding ding ding ding.
That's that's clever use of the form. That's subverting the
form that I love that. I love that. All right,
these are great everyone. We're gonna leave these up there.
There are over a hundred of these. I'm very, very pleased.
I'm gonna read some of these a ruby tonight when
she gets them from school. I'll filter out the bad
(42:30):
ones and the ones. You want to understand, you gotta
lead with the motherfucker one. Man, it's time for her
to learn that motherfucking word. Oh. I think she's probably
heard it. You're probably right. Did I tell you that
my daughter has an aversion to swears that she uh,
she's clearly knows them and is aware of them. But
if anytime I swear, she goes, that's a bad word. Dad.
But she's kind of making fun of me and trolling me.
A little bit. But I also can tell she genuinely
(42:52):
doesn't like swears. Yeah, you know, we kind of normalized it.
We we slip up and curse some, but she doesn't
really notice, and she hasn't really repeated much. I think
she said ship a couple of times, uh, a couple
of years ago. But um, yeah, it's good, it's interesting,
it's interesting. Yeah. We don't get too bit out of
(43:12):
shape about words. No, no, no, I don't. I don't either,
That's my point. And I'm literally trying to tell her
eating why are you so hung up on it's just words?
She goes, this is a bad word. I'm like, oh,
come on, that's right. She's the same in school. Alright. No, Well,
that wraps it up for this week. So we're gonna
we're gonna gift this episode to our friends out there
in movie crush land. Thanks to all the crushers for
(43:34):
all those fun knock knock jokes. And I'm gonna leave
those up, like I said, so people can check it out.
And over four d people who responded about what movie
job they'd like to do. I really do love seeing
the variety and people wanting to do all kinds of things.
We could feel a production with our gang here. I
would love that. And all our bases are covered, all
our bases are covered, and be at all it would
(43:55):

listen to your favorite shows,
Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
(00:28):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. Very cold
here in my basement, Noel, how about you? It's a
little cold in my studio. The heat doesn't circulate in
here as well as it does the rest of the house.
I have a little bit of like a wonky heating
distribution system. My bathroom gets like sauna level hot, and
then this room just gets like none of it. So
(00:49):
I don't understand. But I'm no HVAC experts, So what
do I know? Well, no, you're not on the show
because of your HVAC expertise. I know when I'm hot
and I know when i'm cold, and that should be enough.
Well does that mean you can come over and fix
my heat? I'll give him, I'll give it my best.
Have you seen Brazil? Sure? Remember the amazing role played
(01:12):
portrayed by uh Robert de Niro. He's the rogue heating
and air expert. It's good stuff. I don't know if
you can see this, chuck, But what do you got there? Hey? Wow,
who's that little thing? This is a stell. This is
Eden's sister, and Eden is the dentist with her mom
(01:35):
right now, and I volunteered to watch her so that
she didn't have to wriggle around the the waiting room.
She can't hear me though, right, she can't hear you.
Hold on, she can now say hi, stell? How old
are you? How many fingers is that? Three? Oh? Boy?
I have a daughter who was five, and I remember
three was a lot of fun? Are you do? You
(01:56):
have a lot of fun? How was your Christmas? Talking
to him? My, what did you get for Christmas? She
got a Mr Potato had a giant Mr Potato had
full of smaller Mr Potato heads. WHOA, that's awesome, right,
that sounds super cool. Yeah, well we're gonna do our show, babe,
(02:18):
but you can hang out. Just be a little quiet,
all right, But you can hang out in here if
you want very nice to meet you. Yeah, you can
get the kiddy, but be very sweet because she's a
little feisty working for home. Everyone. Boy, this show got
a whole lot cuter than it was the best. That's wonderful.
(02:41):
Love the guest appearance. So I thought what we would
do here? First? My friend is and this circulated a
while ago, but I never saw it. But someone at
some point found a handwritten note that David Fincher had
scribbled his favorite twenty six movies and no particular order.
(03:02):
I'm not aware of this at all. Yeah, it's pretty
cool and and it you know, has it found its
way online a while ago, and I think has been
reborn recently because I just saw it and looking over
the list, and we'll just kind of list through these things.
It's really kind of cool because they're mainly movies as
opposed to this case cinematt Have you seen mank yet?
(03:24):
By the way, Chuck, now it's on the list. It's uh,
it's all about getting Emily in the right mood to
watch it, because she wants to, but she's got to
be in the right mood for that one. I'll tell you, Chuck,
it's less of a mood k neater than you might think.
I thought the same thing, and I realized it's just
fun and it moves like Gangbusters. I think you guys
will both really dig it well. And you know, you
and I both, along with many other people, obviously agree
(03:47):
that David Fincher is one of the new masters. Not new,
but you know, one of the current masters of our
gen of our generation. Of our generation, him and Kanye Right. Uh,
so let's go through these moved he's here, he's got
um and it's interesting how many of these have been
covered on this very show. But he's got Butch Cassidy
(04:08):
and the Sundance Kid. Great movie one that we covered
here with early early, up, early, very early up with
Mr Paula Tompkins. Chinatown, classic film that I covered on
the show. That's right, yeah, and then it should we
play Knowles holes while we're going, Uh, you, well, I've
seen Now what's the classic line? I always get it wrong?
Business like it's Chinatown, baby, Yeah, that's it. Don't worry
(04:33):
about it. It's Chinatown. Then he goes sing pop yeah,
forget about it. It's only Chinatown. I think it's uh,
forget about it, Jake. Now I can't even remember you.
I'm so sorry, con Chuck. We'll figure it out, all right. Uh.
Next up we have Dr Strangelove, another movie we've covered. Amazing.
(04:54):
I watched Being There the other night for the first
time in a long time with the Amazing Eater sellers
um and it's just great. It's it's something about it.
It's like it's somewhere between satire, and like pure realness,
and it's like kind of funny but kind of sweet
and kind of sad. And I highly recommend everyone. It'll
make you feel good. Put it that way. Yeah, I mean,
(05:15):
that's a you just described how Ashby's filmmaking career sort
of as a whole. Uh. Taxi Drivers up, I'm sorry,
Godfather two is up next, and then Taxi Driver just
back to back. De Niro classics amazing. I mean, these
are some of the best films of all time. I
love this. His list is like kind of straight up
(05:36):
great movies. The line, by the way, is forget it, Jake,
It's Chinatown. Forget it, Jake. That's right. Uh. Next up,
Noel was being there, oh ship right on. He must
be a big Peter Sellers guy. Hm, how can you
not be, except that he was kind of a garbage
human in real life. That's what I hear. And I
read something very interesting and I forgot about this at
the you know, the movie. I'm not going to do
(05:58):
a spoiler, but the movie ends in a way that
could be divisive to some. Let's just say it could
be interpreted in many ways. Yet it really really can.
And I and I'm not gonna spoil it because it's
a movie that a lot of people have not seen,
and I highly recommend it, um as do we all,
as does Mr Fincher apparently. And it ends with credits
rolling over a deleted outtake scene of Peter Sellers cracking
(06:18):
up trying to say this line and Sellers, yeah, you
tell that asshole. What's his name, Raphael or whatever? Yeah?
Exactly um And Sellers hated that they did that. He
thought it cheap into the ending. He thought it cheap
into the whole punch and the mystique of the character.
He thinks. I think so too. I didn't forgotten about that,
(06:39):
and it just read that and then saw it. I
was like, what a weird choice. Yeah, I mean, you
know it's outtakes are always funny. Seeing someone break character
and crack up is always funny. Bloopers are always fun.
But I think in this case, yeah, I totally agree, Like,
you built all this mystique up about this sort of
(07:00):
other worldly character, uh, and who are they even? And
then to end on a blooper reel of that character,
it does kind of knock it down. It happens instantly too,
after the big punch of this final moment that I'm
edging around. It happens boom instantly before you have a
chance to like think it's jarring. It's really jarring. How
(07:21):
made an odd choice. There's a very strange thing to do. Agreed. Uh.
Next up is a movie I have not seen, and
I really want to all that Jazz. I haven't seen it.
I think the Bob Fosse Classic could really I want
to see that. Actually, just that's a big hole for me. Uh.
Next up we have Alien. IM pretty sure that's on
if you have HBO, Max Chuck, I'm pretty sure all
(07:42):
that Jazz is on their Little Turner Classic Movies collection. Okay,
all right, I'll have to check that out. Yeah, and
you know, he ended up directing an alien entry into
that franchise, and not a very good one, kind of
one of fentures only missteps. I think I believe it
was like just after seven or maybe just before, but
it was definitely considered like an odd choice and not
(08:04):
a particularly great movie. Um but and I think it's
almost like one that you don't even consider part of
his v Well you can't do that, and all you
can't say just throw out the bad one. I guess
you're right, Chuck. I guess you're right. Um, but I
know what you mean, and not like a finer movie.
He kind of absorbed into this franchise and kind of
(08:25):
a director for higher situation as opposed to an autour
kind of thing, which is literally everything else that he's
ever done. I'm surprised we have no one's picked up
movie yet. I'm dying to do Alien on the show
Aliens so good? How do you feel about Aliens? That's great,
They're all great. Yeah, well they're not all great, but
they're all fun. Well, it's funny too. Like. Speaking of
odd directing choices, one of I think Alien Resurrection was
(08:46):
directed by the team that did Delicatessen and City of
Lost Children exactly they directed Alien Resurrection. I believe. I
think you're right. Next up we have the classic Alfred
Scock film Rear Window. Uh. Next up we have the
Woody Allen classic. Uh, one of the first mocumentaries, zelig great.
(09:09):
I am all holes when it comes to Woody Allen. Uh? Gross?
Have you not seen any of his movies? Literally, I've
seen Midnight in Paris. Yeah. I think that's the only
one I've actually seen all the way through interesting. Uh yeah,
he's he's problematic to champion these days for many years,
(09:30):
not just these days. Next up we have Cabaret. I
think that's another Bob Fossey movie, if I'm not mistaken, right,
I do believe that's right, Yes, Cabaret movie. Foss it was?
Was he like he did all the choreography too, right?
Wouldn't he have been very hands on with that stuff?
I think that he was like a dancer, musical choreographer
(09:52):
or dance choreographer guy. Yeah, yeah, I think he was
the full multi hyphen it yeah on on. On PDA,
he's described as an American dancer, musical theater choreographer, actor,
theater director, and filmmaker. Nice resume, nice nice CV, as
they would say them. And he did the Lenny Bruce
(10:14):
movie starring Dustin Hoffman, Yeah, which which which I believe
has zero dance in it, I'm not mistaken, and no dance,
no dance at all. Next up, we have a movie
that Josh Clark used to call his favorite movie. Uh,
paper Moon, m M. But these are all great. Of course,
Jaws is on their next I love it. Fincher, wouldn't
(10:35):
know you love not do that? Lawrence of Arabia. Another movie.
I've covered so many of these on the show Lawrence
of Arabia, that I have not seen that one. I know,
after you did it, I was like, you you you
hadn't seen it either, right or No? I had not
at the time. Yes, that's right, And so that's what
made me really want to take the plunge, because it's
one of those ones you hear about and you just
(10:57):
hear how epic and gorgeous it is, and I just
I've always missed it. So I'm gonna put that on
my list. Now. I have a list, by the way,
that I'm actually keeping up this lady that I've been
seeing who hasn't seen a whole lot of movies, admittedly,
but loves movies. So I've been making this list of
stuff for us to watch together. Some of them are
movies that are my old favorites that I want to
turn her onto, and some are like things that I
think we'd be fun to watch together. So I'm gonna
(11:18):
put Lawrence of Arabia on the list. Yeah, I mean,
that's one of those movies where you're like, do I
really need to see Lawrence of Arabia, And the answer
is yes, it is that great. Next up, we have
a movie we have not covered in here, but I
love very much All the President's Men. Uh. Next, it's
a whole for me. Yeah, all right, you've got some
Fincher holes, do do? Uh? Next up? Eight and a
(11:41):
half Fellini's eight and a half. I mean that this
that one dance is closest to sin them all? Is
anything on the list? I think? Sure? Great movie though
I've seen all these except for the fosse ones. Uh,
Citizen Kane, how do you not put that on there?
Totally great movie. They of Heaven. Oh boy, he's really
(12:01):
after my heart. Another movie I've covered on here. Uh
Animal House, Oh that's fun. Look at Fincher with his
Animal House. Pick. People love Animal House. I think he's
of the right age where that would have been like
a important movie for him growing up. And it might
be some nostalgia there. Yeah, because You Contend does not
(12:22):
age well as a comedy for modern audiences. I did
not find it so, but I know that people who
love it grew up with it. Well that's me. Yeah.
Road Warrior, Oh, Fincher seems like a lot of fun
to hang out with a Road Warriors. The original right,
that's that's number one. Road Warriors, number two, Mad Mats original. Okay,
(12:43):
got Road Warrior is great? Well, they were both great. Um.
I was about to say Fincher is probably a lot
of fun to hang out with and watch a movie.
But I've heard actually, who was it that told the
story about watching a movie with David Fincher. Oh, it
was one of his actors, maybe ship I can't remember,
but one of his actors said that he told the
story about watching a movie. Ad picture is pretty terrible
(13:05):
because all he does is sit there and kind of
nitpick it out loud and not in a grumpy way,
but just like, why would they put the camera there?
What is that light coming in from that back room?
What is that all about? Like the minutia. Next up,
we have another mel Gibson movie, a movie that I
think is sort of underrated. That year Year of Living Dangerously.
(13:28):
I am not even aware. Great movie, tell me more
about it. Uh, well, it's mel Gibson, um, sort of
a younger mel Gibson. It's a story. It's sort of
a love affair period piece. Okay, Australian movie. Peter Weir.
Of course, that's why it's great. Great, great Peter Weir, Oh,
(13:49):
gorgeous poster. It's one of those like classic hand painted,
like old Hollywood type posts. But it would have been
what in the seventies, Uh you early eighties, I think, yeah,
eighty two You're Living Dangerously, very good movie. Uh. Then
we have American graffiti, classic Americana. The Terminator. That's fun
(14:09):
that he would put that on the list because I
will say, there's something about The Termina We've talked about
this where it's almost more like a slasher movie than
it is like a sci fi movie. And I love
the like eighties kind of you know, like neon drenched
nostalgia of that and the soundtrack and just like the
whole like unstoppable kind of Michael Myer's nests. That is
The Terminator, No for sure in ages pretty well, you know,
(14:32):
like the the effects look a little corny at times,
but it fits the era and it it's great. It's
still a really fun watch. I think Monty Python and
the Holy Grail amazing. He's covering all the bases. And
then the last two are The Exorcist and The Graduate.
M hm wow, I mean this could this could be
(14:54):
my list In many ways, it's quite a good list.
The graduates so fun because it's like the Graduate too,
me is very like proto wes Anderson, Like it's like
it's kind of or like it's it's it's very Rushmore
esque kind of. It's a little more straightforward and dry
than that, but it has that same kind of wink wink,
kind of like ryeness to it that I really like.
Uh that sets the tone for a lot of those
(15:16):
types of movies to come. Yeah, I don't. I don't
think Wes Anderson would deny being influenced by the Graduate
in some ways for sure. Uh yeah, all right, Well
let's move on. I asked the crushers this yesterday. Noel
(15:36):
got four hundred replies. Oh goodness. Uh, and I can't
believe I had not asked this yet. If you could
have a successful career in movies, what would your job be, Um,
what would your job be? Nol Uh? Shoot, man, I
swear we've done this one before, maybe not this exact one. Um,
I would Yeah, I would love to be like a
(16:00):
music director or like soundtrack curate tour supervisors supervisor exactly. Yeah.
I could see you doing a really good job doing that.
And well it's a tough record to break into, though,
I'm sure because everybody wants it. Mix tapes, Yeah, I
know how to make Yeah. Well it's fun too because
you know it's called spotting when you actually sit down
(16:21):
and watch the movie and and plant the queue, uh
you know, along with the director, but they lean on
the music supervisor to to do their thing and exercise
or expertise to Alright, we're gonna start with Anika Razak Ahmed,
great name. Uh working with budgeting. I want to know
(16:42):
what goes into making a movie. Sounds boring, but I
would love a cost breakdown. Yeah, that would be uh.
I mean a lot of people have their hands in
that pie. But um, generally that's the line producer anica,
unless you really wanted to work in like payroll or something,
and that's that's sort of different. But the line producers
who kind of helps the budget stay on track and
(17:05):
make sure everyone has what they need. But that's after
the budget has been determined, right, so the budget gets
greenlit basically with the picture or they they say we're
gonna greenlive this picture, green lave this picture and give it,
you know, a thirty million dollar budget, and that's it,
not anymore but the line producer is is who comes
up with that budget along with the director and the
(17:25):
studio and everything. But they literally have to do and
Emily did this when she was a producer because sometimes
jobs didn't have line producers. But it's called the budget
breakdown and their software that helps you basically fill out
this huge spreadsheet like when they budget a movie. They
just don't think. This feels like a twenty million dollar picture,
like they have it lined out like we need this
(17:46):
many people, we need this many actors, we need an
animal wrangler, we need to stunt people in this day.
And you know it's very meticulous, is how they come
up with that number, and then they have to negotiate
that number obviously and loose stuff like do you really
need that stunt person? Yep, that kind of really need
that explosion? Yeah, exactly. Let me see here, I've been
(18:08):
Louise berkeshare, great name. I'm sorry, butcher that practical special
effects designer, animatronics and budgeting creatures. I'm sorry. Building creatures
always been my dream. Wow, that's amazing. I love seeing
all these different jobs. Uh, Hannah, like no one said
director yet, Hannah Duffy says fully artist Trish latter House
(18:29):
Skill Breath winner Our Old Friends has set deck set
decorator who loved a shop for things and then decorate
all types of settings. That is a fun job. I've
done that. Are they Are they the same person though,
the people that actually do the buying or does that
a separate job? Well, I mean it depends on the job.
If it's a small TV commercial, you might be buying
the stuff and in decorating the room. But on big
(18:50):
movies you have shoppers who go out and do that.
I've been a few set deck people here in Atlanta
who kind of have their own like collection of ship
you know what I mean. They have like their own
little shop and they'll just like, oh, this will work
really well for this, and they'll just bring in their
little trinkets and you know, stuff like that. And also
there's a few houses around here that actually almost are
(19:11):
like these you know movie you know, um prop type houses,
and they have like yard sales occasionally where you'll go
buy all this weird miscellaneous furniture and like trinkets and
cups and cutlery and plates, and it's all stuff that's
been used for set deck in different productions. Yeah, a
prop shop going out of business sale was a lot
of fun. I've actually been to one of those. Uh,
(19:33):
Scott deal. One of world friends says, I'd love to
be a behind the scenes still photographer. Yeah, set photographer.
That is also Scott. I'm not sure if you knew this,
but the person that usually um one of those stills
becomes the movie poster. Interesting. Uh, Usually when you see
the movie poster and it's from the movie, it's not
(19:53):
like they just said, hey, let's just steal that frame.
It is actually a photograph that the set photographer took.
That makes sense. Quick, quick backtrack, Chuck, because I'm now
very fascinated by this movie The Year of Living Dangerously,
which we spoke about earlier from everyone will probably remember
the actor Linda Hunt, who famously was the like visual
(20:14):
I think she maybe does the voice to visual inspiration
for that weird little character and the impossible in the
incredible movie Lynda Hunt. She is in Living Dangerously and
was nominated for or She One rather an Academy Award
and she became the first person to win an Oscar
for portraying a character of the opposite sex plays a
(20:35):
male character and that that's fascinating. I really putting that
one on my list now because of that that pushed
it over the top. No, I love Linda Hunt, but
that's fascinating, and now that I've been looking it up
and seeing some stills, it looks like a really fun movie,
like a very interesting movie. So I'm looking forward to.
Austin Handler, one of our oldest friends says, uh, he's
an interior designer now, so feasibly I could transition to
(20:58):
set designer, but would rather be director, cinematographer or director
of photography, which is the same thing as a cinematographer. Yeah,
Austin's at your sides high my friend might as well.
You know what I would want to do, nol director.
Oh yeah, you should. You could do it, Chuck, you're
good at You're good at Boston people around. Uh. Editor,
(21:18):
that would be a lot of fun too, because I
love the edit process. But oh yeah, yeah, if you're
if you're a director, I mean you also sit in
the edit bay a lot of the time and help
make those decisions, so it's like a collaborative kind of
process a lot of the time. Tracy Fox, I want
to be the person that creates props, prop master, I'm
sure there's a technical term and I don't know. Yeah,
I mean the prople or something like that. Well, I mean,
(21:41):
you know, sometimes there can be a prop shop where
you are actually building things if it does not exist.
But the prop master also just works with the props.
Like I think the rule is anything the actor touches
is a prop as opposed to a decoration. Got it. So,
like you know, if you pick up a pop watch
and look at it, it's a prop. A gun is
(22:02):
a prop. And oftentimes they'll have to have like many
many duplicates of it or like different versions of it,
especially if it becomes a plot point in the movie
and like you know, kind of travels with the character
throughout the movie, they might have to distress it a
little bit or have different versions that look a little
different over time and stuff. Uh. Nola worked on very
(22:22):
few movies, but I worked on a low budget movie
called The Good Humor Man, and it was a superiod
piece seventies movie about these high school kids, sort of
a dazed and confused kind of thing um in which
I worked with a very young Jason Segel. Actually I
don't think i've ever told that story. He was in
the movie before he was anybody, and I remember him
telling me stories about, Yeah, I'm worked with Jack Black
(22:45):
on this thing and I got a lot of things
in the fire, and I was like, you know, everyone
has those stories. I was like, yeah, buddy, sure and uh,
what do you know, Jason Siegel? But I was the
joint roller uh on that movie because they needed lots
of joints. The prop department didn't know how to do
that right, and I did so as a p A.
(23:06):
I rolled all the joints and I even requested that
my on screen credit b P A slash joint roller.
That's amazing. And I'm looking this up, Chuck, and it
has uh the dude that played Hugo and Lost was
in it, which is or Hey and uh Kelsey Grammer.
What was he like? I've heard he's an odd character.
(23:26):
He was actually very nice and I buddied up with
his uh the two women that he worked with in
his production company where there are a lot and they
ended up being like good friends of mine for a
little while. He was very nice. He had bad feet,
that was his deal. He uh had he had problems
with his feet. Had that were special shoes and kind
of spending a lot of time on his feet was
(23:47):
troublesome for him, but he was a remake. There's a
nineteen fifties movie that Jack Carson not not a remake
at all. Um, But yeah, Jorge was in it, and
he was actually in it because the director was a
guy who directed all the TV commercials I worked on
for like two years, and he um Rye from Lost
(24:07):
was in almost every one of those TV commercials, So
I worked with him all the time. Very nice guy,
and when he got on Lost, it was it was
awesome because he was such a good dude. Like uh,
Caroline Guest and one of our oldest friends says, I
very much wanted to work in casting and maybe in
another university universe where I hadn't met uh that boyfriend
(24:28):
at that time, and that kept me for moving away.
That's precisely what I'm doing, all right. Yeah, casting is
a lot of Funsting is great. Oh that's that's a
fun game to play, just like on the show. We've
done that a million times where I say who would
who would be pick for this biopic or whatever? You know,
I love this fun. The good charl pal David Gooch
screenwriter or character actor, I feel like writing is what
(24:51):
I'm best at. But I'd love to be that guy.
I love that. I don't I don't think that you
you don't get to say I am now a character
the actor. I think. I think history has to decide
that's what you are, you know what I mean? Yeah,
but I mean, sure, what kind of I know what
he's saying, though I know what he's saying to it.
I'm mainly teasing. But when you think of a person
(25:12):
who's an amazing character actor, you think that because of
their resume and because it's really long and varied, you
know what I mean, and it just sort of happens
that way. I think, Yeah, but you also that that
can be something you should shoot for. If you're an actor,
you have a certain look and you know you're not
leading man. Material like that is an avenue you could
try to be a character actor, totally true, and use
(25:33):
what what the Good Lord gave you know what the shake,
what the Good Lord gave you on the screen in
various different ways. Let me see here. Meg bast Garan says,
I imagine someone on the production side calendar schedules, logistics,
creating call sheets. Yeah, so you would you would want
to be a If it was a movie, Meg, you
(25:56):
would probably be a unit production manager. Would be my
guests A U P M. Chuck. Have we talked about
the thread on the Crushers page about how much joy
it gives people when you butcher the pronunciation of their name. Yes,
I don't think we talked about it. But it's funny,
it's wonderful. Yeah, I do my best, but it's it's
kind of become a bit so that everyone has patience
(26:16):
with its No one gets mad. It's nice. No, no, no,
that's my point. Not only they not get mad, they
crave that. They're like, please, chuck, this pronounced the hell
out of my name. I'm sorry. D All the Smiths
and Jones is out there. I'll try and mispronounce those. Uh. Miguel,
Miguel Macgiana, great name, stuntman, but only as a driver.
I'm scared of heights. So, Miguel, what you would actually
(26:40):
want to be probably is called a precision driver. Uh.
And those people can do stunts, but they can also
be the person that just you know, drive sort of
fast to pull into the parking space in a really
quick way. Like sometimes they can't even have the actor
do something like that, you know, or like whip it around,
(27:00):
or like do a doughnut, but maybe not necessarily a
high speed car chase or stunt. Yeah, go out there
and do a donut, do a doughnut. Precision driver. Those
those uh, those people are always fun. Uh, Zach Hawkins,
I'd love to build a movie sets. I'm a carpenter.
Would really enjoy the fruits of my labor being immortalized
in a movie. Yeah, Zach, you would be a will
(27:20):
you'd be a carpenter or maybe what a carpenter? Hi? What,
that's the how it goes. But you know what I'm
getting at. Sure. Uh. One of our old friends, Kristin Bits,
a guy, says, I mean, if I could be successful,
I would totally be an actor. I've done tons of
life TV and have had a radio show for several years,
but I haven't acted since high school. But I enjoy it.
(27:43):
And while I'm not great, I'll commit under your premise
of being successful. That's great. Christie Caroline says our CAROLINSS
pyrotechnics or having to take the photos of the characters
for dressing the houses or whatever it's called. Okay, dressing
the houses or whatever. It's called I Love It. Yeah,
well that's actually that's kind of write on it. Uh.
(28:05):
Yavon Bodette, one of her old palaces, soundtrack maker do
her guy that adds music person to montagees scenes, dude,
I love It official. Jeff Noels, another composer, wants to
be a composer or a fully artist, and he says, hell,
I wouldn't mind just selling one of my songs. Yeah,
(28:26):
Jeff's musician. You know. I tell you, I gotta get
you the contact for this dude. And I'm totally spacing
on his name right now. It's a guy who does
He was one of the original guys that Adults Swim
hired to do uh music for a lot of their
weirdo cartoons. And he was sort of in the early
days of like Cartoon Network being a little more like
edgy and modern, and then it kind of created adult swell. Um.
(28:47):
He has this amazing studio in Atlanta where he does
fully work, and I got to go and hang out
with him and like see his whole little fully set
up and it was a lot of fun. I'm gonna
try to connect you up with him because I think
he'd be a great guest totally, man, that sounds great.
One of our old pals, Vanessa Cashman, says costume design.
I could watch entire movies and series based only on costumes. Yeah.
(29:10):
Brittany Jeldon says I would love to create title sequences.
They set the tone for the movie and can create
some great foreshadowing. Boy, everyone wants to do all these
fun jobs. Nol. I really love seeing how few people
are like superstar actor or big shot director. Yeah, exactly,
let me see. Nathan Ostroot says a location scout, What
(29:33):
a blast that would be. Well, we have a location
scout in our audience, Robert Paulson, maybe you should have.
Mike Sam says movie critic or is that bending the
rules too much? I love to write, but I think
it'd get too attached to ideas and be labeled a
problematic writer. I don't think that's stretching it. That that's
film adjacent world needs. Oh absolutely, Um yeah, Like I
(29:59):
think I've mentioned. Uh, there's a film criticism podcast out
of Chicago that I really did called film Spotting, And
they do a good job of like not being too
too too pretentious, Like they're they're accessible and they you know,
get a little pretentious here and there, but they're very
listenable and I highly recommend if you're looking for some
film criticism that doesn't make you want to stab your
(30:20):
eyes out, this would be a good one for you. Excellent.
One of our old friends, Jenne van Valen, says, Oh,
I'd play the chubby, quirky girl in small indie films. Jenna,
that's great. I'd be there, right. I would be the chubby,
quirky boy who was your best spell Yeah, and potential.
He was there the whole time, love interest, and in
(30:41):
the and then the third act, and then I took
off my glasses and I let down my hair, you know.
Erica Hogan says, I'm an accountant and I'd love to
be an accountant for a movie. Mom was curious about
the cost of movies and what all goes into the
creation of a movie. Paying bills and making sure it's
with him budget is the best way to do that.
I love that, Erica. You could do that. You have
(31:01):
the skills. Kevin Tully also wants to put together movie soundtracks.
Joy Layman wants to be an editor both creative and
insanely detailed sounds fun. It is fun. Amy Claude Felters
has set continuity. I'm the one who notices the tiniest
of misplacements where the glass that gets broken with two
(31:22):
different patterns from seven different takes. Yes, you would be
a script supervisor, Amy, is that script e? Yeah? Scripty,
that'd be a great job for you. I think I
broke scripty down. And one of our previous segments too.
Lea Mitchell, one of our Old Palace has set design rush.
Lle Jones says, I'm a numbers persons, so as sad
(31:43):
as it sounds that want to work on the account side.
I love all these people that want to be movie accounts.
It's pretty someone's got to do it. And if they're
if if you got passion for numbers, why not Yeah.
Louis Arrata says, if not a character actor, then a
folli artist. You got a lot of people. I don't
want to be fully artistical, because no one wants to
(32:05):
play in the dirt and make the clipperty clops and
punch and punch the ham punch the ham. Uh. Sammy
Cahill wants to be a prop master or shop for
the props. Alex Stock wants to do animatronics, special effects
and creature design. My friend p J. Sadski in l A,
one of my best friends, wants to be a fluffer.
(32:27):
Very funny t j A Pizang buzzinga uh. Sarah Aggie,
one of our old friends, went to film school because
she wanted to make documentaries like Planet Earth, but quickly
learned how hard it is to be a documentarian. Now
I'm a science teacher, but would love the chance to
travel and record animals in amazing places all over the world.
It's never too late, Sarah, get the camera or just
(32:51):
buy a couple of more iPhones and us to that. Oh.
I'm sure we've talked about this, and it's pretty obvious
to most people that watch these, but I think it's
fascinating and I just absolutely applaud these people like to
get like a ten second animal action shot. Sometimes they're
like posted up in the swamps for like a week,
you know, and and then the editing on those, by
(33:13):
the way, like it's just absolutely phenomenal where they edit
these things together, especially like in the Planet Earth series
or things like microcosmos like uh, what is it? Winged
migration where they make these stories that you know, I mean,
it's not like they're lying. There is truth behind them,
or they represent truth, but they edit these things together
to make these like narratives, and it's so meticulous and beautiful,
(33:34):
and I think it's absolutely just like such a specialized,
wonderful skill. You know. Terrence Malick was famous for doing
things like well, he's famous for shooting like millions of
feet of film for a movie. But one reason why
is he would send his second unit out and say
something like, hey, there's a there's a rare bird that
(33:55):
makes this sound, and go take a camera and go
spend three days out there until you can find this
bird making the sound and shoot it and take like
three cans of film with you. That's incredible and he
would get it. Yeah. Charles Martin Aaker is one of
Royal Palaces writer director. If I had the talent for it, yeah,
I mean, being an all tour is certainly a great job.
(34:20):
A bunch of people want to be fluffers, all men.
Imagine that, Uh, Kelly Butler Olson when Royal Palaces, I
would enjoy acting or on set teacher for child actors. Interesting,
that's really sweet. This is one of those roles you
don't really think about but it's so important. Yeah, they
were always uh onset teachers are always very nice but
(34:40):
also a little bulldoggie about making sure those kids got
their education. It was great. Like sometimes they'd be like, no,
they haven't got their hour, and like, you gotta wait.
I saw the most lovely little uh uh movie trivia
fact nugget the other day. I follow a all a
bunch of weird Facebook groups and one of them is
(35:02):
devoted to Danny DeVito. It's called Danny DeVito egg posting
because he's in his character and always saying for Philadelphia,
he likes eggs. And it was a post that says, uh.
It reminds people that Danny DeVito directed the movie Matilda
from uh. And then there's a little you know, text
exchange or like a common exchange the screenshot and it says,
hold up, Dany DeVito directed the most influential film in
(35:24):
my childhood. And then someone responded says, not only directed it,
but starting it. Took care of Marra Wilson, who played Matilda,
while her mother was in hospital with cancer, and he
even managed to get an advanced copy of the movie
for her to watch before she succumbed to her illness.
The man is a treasure. Wow, that's great. That was incredible.
(35:44):
I too, I too just exudes like goodness. You know.
All right now we're gonna move on to our final
segment today, one that Ruby came up with. I was
doing these last night. I was coming up with these
and Ruby walked up and I said, what are you doing?
(36:06):
I said, what's a good question, Ruby, I can ask
for a movie crush And she said, uh, knock knock joke.
So I said, oh great, I said, describe a movie
using a knock knock joke. Very creative. So here we go.
Benjamin Johnston got um many many up likes and loves
for this. Knock knock? Who's there? Mother? Mother? Who? A
(36:29):
boy's best friend is his mother? Norman? You should know
who I am. These are fun knock knock. This is
from Grant Woody knock knock? Who's there? Cindy Lou? Cindy Lou? Who?
Oh that's correct? Are you familiar with my work? Very?
(36:49):
Very very you. I don't know if anyone would be
able to come up with anything. And there's like a
hundred of these, uh knock knock. I'm sorry. Jake Nielsen,
knock knock there. Hi, I'm looking for Alice. Hi, I'm
looking for Alice. Who. Oh we just moved in. This
is our old place, and so Alice doesn't etcetera, etcetera,
(37:10):
just doesn't live here anymore. All right, these are kind
of fun. Kristen bits Aguy said she joined this from
another site, but I wanted to joke Ruby would get
knock knock, who's there? Tinker Bell? Tinker Bell? Who think
your doorbell was out of order? Oh? This is from
Luke Richardson. All right, knock knock, who's there? Memento memento?
(37:35):
Who do I know you exactly? I don't know. I
don't think so, I don't know. I'm amazed at how
fun and creative these are. They're very fun and very creative.
The movie Crush community is just the best I know.
It's so much fun. Becca Lou, one of our oldest
of friends, has a great one here. I think it
actually might have gotten the most uplis knock knock, who's there? Dana? Dana? Who?
(38:02):
There is no Dana, only Zool. That's my favorite, by far,
my favorite so far. Old pal Rebecca Robes says, Oh,
my heart, knock knock, who's there, Orange Orange, you glad
we're not watching Frozen again. I like Frozen, and I'm
fine with watching it again. But how many times have
(38:22):
you seen it? Oh? Plenty? No, I mean not not anymore.
When it came out, it was actually like a really
important movie for me and my in Eden because she like, really,
that was the first movie she really was like, oh
my god, I'm into movies. I love this movie and
the songs. Uh. And now she's a surly teenager and
it's I can't get her to love anything. But it's
gonna come back around, Chuck, It's gonna come back around.
(38:43):
Are you saying she let it go? Don't she let
a car? Dude? Now? She's so niche in her her
fandoms now, and it's things that I just don't really
fully like understand. I never thought it would happen, Chuck.
But that's where we are. Where we are. Erica Reneebo
SARTs says, knock knock, who's there, Harry, Harry? Who nice
(39:04):
to meet you, Harry. I'm Sally. That's very cute. You know,
did I tell you what we've talked about this? I
have not seen that in one sitting. I've only seen
like bits of it. I need to watch it. It's
I heard that it was that originally had a not
happy ending, no interesting. Yeah that that that that that
were swetten so that they like you know, didn't end
up together or whatever. Sammy Cahill, knock knock, who's there?
(39:29):
Rooney's gonna get Rooney's gonna get who? Ferris Bueller boum boum. Okay,
here we go. Benjamin Johnston knock knock? Who's there? A
census taker? Census taker? Who? Census taker? You say? I'm
(39:51):
just about to enjoy fava beans in a nice CHIANTI.
Would you like to come in? Oh groan, that's amazing.
Knock knock. This is from Carly uh Peto van Ni
Oh yeah yeah, she loves it when you uh, when
you add a little Italian stank to her name. Uh,
(40:12):
knock knock? Who's there? Do you want to build a snowman?
Do you want to build a snowman? Who? Old off? Silly?
Go away? Anna? That sounds like a joke. Ruby would write,
Actually I think so. Yeah. Uh. This is from Liz
Ann knock knock, who's there? We're Wolf? Were Wolf? Who there? Wolf?
(40:36):
Their castle? Young Frankenstein I tried, got it. Hey, you
know what all we ask is that you try that
you give it your all. Uh. Here's another memento and
from Will Burke, knock knock, who's there? Me? Me? Who?
I don't know, that's the point. It is, all right,
(40:57):
let's do a few more of these. I can only
take about a few more chuck. I'm I'm I'm about
to go into sugar shock. And this is the sweetness here,
knock knock. This is from John Hewitt, knock knock, who's there?
I am? I am who? I am a Jedi like
my father before me. That's cute. If you also go
(41:18):
I also would have accepted I am legend. I would
have accepted that, sure, knock knock? Who's there? Day? Day? Who? Day?
I thought that was maybe where that was gone. Petlejuice,
do you think this is sweetness? No? Or do you
think you're about to lose your mind from knock knock jokes?
It's well, I don't know. It's a combination of the two.
(41:40):
It is like there is something inherently corny and sweet
that as a formula that has to go to a
knockknock joke that makes them be pretty wholesome and kind
of sweet. I guess there could be filthy knock knock jokes,
but I don't. I don't have any time or place
for those in my life. Yeah, agreed. Bill Horton says,
this knock knock? Who is there? What? What? Who? What? What? Who? Say? What?
(42:07):
One more motherfucking time? Okay, winner, ding ding ding ding.
That's that's clever use of the form. That's subverting the
form that I love that. I love that. All right,
these are great everyone. We're gonna leave these up there.
There are over a hundred of these. I'm very, very pleased.
I'm gonna read some of these a ruby tonight when
she gets them from school. I'll filter out the bad
(42:30):
ones and the ones. You want to understand, you gotta
lead with the motherfucker one. Man, it's time for her
to learn that motherfucking word. Oh. I think she's probably
heard it. You're probably right. Did I tell you that
my daughter has an aversion to swears that she uh,
she's clearly knows them and is aware of them. But
if anytime I swear, she goes, that's a bad word. Dad.
But she's kind of making fun of me and trolling me.
A little bit. But I also can tell she genuinely
(42:52):
doesn't like swears. Yeah, you know, we kind of normalized it.
We we slip up and curse some, but she doesn't
really notice, and she hasn't really repeated much. I think
she said ship a couple of times, uh, a couple
of years ago. But um, yeah, it's good, it's interesting,
it's interesting. Yeah. We don't get too bit out of
(43:12):
shape about words. No, no, no, I don't. I don't either,
That's my point. And I'm literally trying to tell her
eating why are you so hung up on it's just words?
She goes, this is a bad word. I'm like, oh,
come on, that's right. She's the same in school. Alright. No, Well,
that wraps it up for this week. So we're gonna
we're gonna gift this episode to our friends out there
in movie crush land. Thanks to all the crushers for
(43:34):
all those fun knock knock jokes. And I'm gonna leave
those up, like I said, so people can check it out.
And over four d people who responded about what movie
job they'd like to do. I really do love seeing
the variety and people wanting to do all kinds of things.
We could feel a production with our gang here. I
would love that. And all our bases are covered, all
our bases are covered, and be at all it would
(43:55):
