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

(00:28):
Hey everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday. I'm here
in my home studio Charles W. Chuck Bryant of stuff
you should know, Fame, Movie Crush, Mini Fame. That's a
new one. That's a new intro, it is, and I'm
here with old Brown of geez. How many shows you
doing now? Oh, you know, just a couple of stuffy
su stuff suff they don't want you to know as
a ridiculous history. Yeah, stalwarts. And you're you're kind enough

(00:54):
to help me out in here and all, which is great.
Why do you? Kind is not the word for this? Is?
I told you this makes my day and I love
getting an early start on a Wednesday. We're back to
our normal stomping grounds. Yeah, not known as Friday Afternoon.
That was fun too, and it's yeah. So this is
our number two for the day, number one for you
this week, listeners, Number one in your hearts, number one

(01:17):
in your hearts with a bullet All right, No, we're
just gonna jump right into it, just what we do
on our second episode, because we've already caught up and
we're going to start out with a post that I
threw in there this morning. Sorry I didn't give everyone
a lot of time on this, but I I was
busy last night. Uh club no Wana mentioned that before.

(01:38):
Directors who I feel like have never made a stinker.
Maybe not all the movies or masterpieces, but none of
them can be considered like missteps or like bad movies.
Like even the great Steven Spielberg made Crystal Skull. Yeah,
so he can't. He's not on the list. Crystal Skull sucked. Yeah,
it's interesting. It's a good point. I mean, I I

(02:00):
definitely didn't. I think so you're judging Crystal Skull against
all other Indiana Jones movies, which I guess is the
only way you can't judge it, right, No, I'm judging
it as a movie. It just wasn't very good, okay,
and especially if you look at it as in the
in the cannon of of the Indiana Jones films, it's
just a dark spot. What was it about it that
you didn't think was good? Just the plot wasn't good.

(02:21):
There was bad acting, casting choices, the c G I
was like things like that had so many problems. It
was really really disappointing. So as much as I love
me some. Steven Spielberg, he just he can't make the list. Uh.
The Collen Brothers, I give a They're on my list
because their worst movie, The Lady Killers, is still I

(02:42):
don't think a stinker. It's not great, but it's good enough,
And the rest of their movies are I think literally
every one of them great. I think The Lady Killers
is quite funny. It makes me laugh. It's not a
great movie, for sure, Yeah, but it's funny enough. I mean,
Tom Hanks alone and with that voice is you know,

(03:03):
I'll watch that movie just to laugh at that. Exactly.
Who else I've always put Sofia Coppola on the list.
I think that all of her movies have been none
of them have been stinkers. I think the one that
um her least good movie was the Was it the Beloved?
Was that the name of the one for a few
years ago? I don't a lot of people are really

(03:24):
hating on this new one where it just feels like
why bother kind of but I haven't seen him. You
said you thought it was okay, I liked it. Okay.
What was the name of it? Wasn't the Beloved? Oh? Uh?
I don't know, let's see it's uh The Beguiled it
was all right, it wasn't great, but the rest of

(03:47):
her movies are great. I think Catherine Bigelow um even
dubbing into her eighties work. Like I haven't seen her
first movie, so I'm not sure, but like she did
Blue Steel in the eighties, like that was a pretty
fun movie, and certainly she got better and better as
a filmmaker. So I think Katherin Bigelow is probably on
that list. David or Russell was on my list. Uh,

(04:08):
Kubrick is probably on my list. He's never made a stinker.
So I asked the crushers what they thought. Who were there?
A d percent clovers and Uh, we're just gonna go
ahead and get going here with Tom Rhodes, he says,
Chris Nolan, uh, and David Fincher, he says, I don't
hate Alien three. And there was supposedly a ton of

(04:30):
studio interference. I think we talked about venture and whether
or not he was a center, and I I knocked
him for Alien three. Yeah. I actually it's been so
long as I've seen that, and at the time, I
can't I don't think I was aware of David Fincher
like as a So I wasn't judging it in that way,
but I'll have to watch it. I might might, I

(04:51):
might treat myself to an Alien marathon. What was his uh?
What was his first movie? It wasn't Alien three? Was
I don't know, let's see. I mean he did a
lot of music videos. He did like Madonna, like a prayer,
um not like like a prayer he did, I believe Vogue.

(05:12):
His first movie. It might have been, uh, yeah, I
think so it was yeah, Alien three, Yeah, yeah, that
was his first. Um seven, Great The Game, Great Bike Club,
Great Panic Room, good Zodiac, masterpiece. You know, Benjamin Button,

(05:33):
I didn't really like that. I didn't like it either,
but it's still a good movie. And it's a wise
It's what she would call a big swing, right Chuck.
You know, boy, obviously it was a passion project for him.
I don't like it either, But again i've I've I've
heard critics that that that's still you know, it's it's polarizing.
Some people really love it. I did not love it. Yeah,
Social Network, great Dragon Tattoo thought a really good remake,

(05:56):
done Girl, awesome make still haven't finished, but intrigued to
me enough, and it's definitely not a stinker, all right.
I agree Venture should probably be on there. Christopher Nolan
have some issues with him. He's not made stinkers though.
I mean, I think we have to qualify. Like again,
like I think the discussion we had around Crystal Skull

(06:17):
has to hold true. Do you judge it based on
all of his other movies as in they're not as good,
or it has to to be an absolute kind of bomb.
It has to really suck and just not be a
good movie. I mean, I don't even go so far.
Here's my criteria. It doesn't have to really suck. I
think just not a good movie for that director, you
know what I mean? Like the bar is high, um,

(06:41):
So I don't think it has to be garbage. But
to me, it's just if it's not a very good
movie that I don't want to see again, then that qualifies.
And this is just my own dumb criteria. Caroline Gaston,
one of our oldest spial, says, is it too soon
to say? Ari asked her with just two films, But
she also says most of his short films are on

(07:01):
YouTube and they're all pretty great, So you know he's
pent and I imagine he'll keep making pretty good movies.
I don't see are asked making a stinker anytime soon. Totally,
he's fantastic. And you know, it's interesting because like obviously
your first film you have like your whole life to
think of, and then your second one. You know, if

(07:22):
you do well with the first one, the studios are
obviously gonna be you know, on you to put another
one out. And I think he did a fine job
as uh. I think both of us had a few
issues with Midsummer. Um, it's damn good so quickly, Yeah,
Lenia Barnett, one of our oldest palaces. Wes Anderson is
the only director that can fill that slot for me.
Adore his work and love the world he creates. Uh yeah,

(07:45):
I love them all. Uh. Sarah Irons also says Wes Anderson.
I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but I
love his films, Aidan Noah Clark has a nice list
going here. Todd Haynes, Sure, Basil Dearden, don't know who
Basil Derdon is. Basil Derdon, No, he sounds very British.

(08:08):
He does. Sidney uh Pedro al Mondova is close but
I'm so excited. Isn't great, is what? Aiden says? Bong
John Bong June Hoe. Oh yeah, big times, Yorgos Lantamos,
Yeah for sure, still early, but yes, Sebastian Lalio don't
know that Bill Maker and Corey Finley is two for

(08:31):
two so far. I don't know these people. Yeah, Oh,
Basil dear Den is old. He was born in nineteen eleven.
He looks like he did some noir stuff film called
The Dead of Night from Sapphire The Blue Lamp Victim.
These all look like cool Hitchcock e thriller noir situations
from the from the fifties and early sixties. So I'm

(08:53):
gonna add some of these to my list. Uh. And
Corey Finley says two for two did Bad Education and Thoroughbreds.
I don't think I've seen either one of those. Those
are both supposed to be pretty good, though, Bathtian Bad
Education jacking my almotiv ar. No, no, no, this is
Corey Finley Bad Education, based on the true story of

(09:14):
the largest public school embezzlement in American history. And there's
another there's a Bad Education as well. Interesting. All right,
I'll have to check these out. Deep cuts. I like
deep cuts. Noll too. Let me see here. Ian Lyone
says that's tough. Let me some Spielberg and Ridley Scott.

(09:35):
But among their mega classics, they've certainly made some stinkers,
some leaning towards filmmakers who have had fewer efforts, which
is probably unfair. Jonathan Glazer, Uh, Sexy Beasts under the
Skin and Birth, Yeah, for sure. And Edgar Wright, Shaun
of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Hot Buds, and Baby Driver. Yeah,
Edgar right is totally totally good call, good call. Ian

(10:00):
iron Don Morris, I think I fully agree with this,
says Sam Mendez. Solid solid and one of my favorite
little note movies. Away we Go. That was such a
great movie. I haven't seen that or heard of it.
He's so versatile though, because like he can do obviously,

(10:21):
you know, amazing Indie kind of character driven drama, like
an American Beauty, But then he could turn around and
do a Skyfall or like in nineteen seventeen or whatever,
you know, revolutionary road. He can do the period pieces that.
He is just a really versatile director, no question about it.
The Way we Go, jar Head, these are all really
great road to Perdition Specter as well. Yeah, American Beauty

(10:47):
of course. Sam Mendez he's on my list. Yes, he
actually hasn't directed a hell of a lot of movie's
only got twelve twelve movies to his credit. I mean
that's a lot. I guess that is a lot. What
am I talking about? It's a lot. He's he's been
at it for a while. But yeah, he he doesn't
like make one like every two years, like he'll he'll like,
he'll like sit on things for a little while. Um,

(11:08):
it's good. Yeah, king Lear, I'm not familiar with a
king Lear adaptation. Did he produce it or directed? He
directed it? Really? Yeah? Co directed it with somebody named
Robin low Oh. Interesting, all right, I did not know that.

(11:31):
All Right, we're gonna go with Kathy Lowe. McCray says,
Granted she's only made a handful of films, but everything
Tamora Jenkins does it's fantastic. Totally agree. One of my
favorite directors. Tamora Jenkins did Slums of Beverly Hills, The Savages,
that great, great movie with Laura Lenny and Philip sy
Moore Hoffman as siblings. And then uh, I have not

(11:53):
seen Private life from a couple of years ago, and
that is on the list. I did not know about
this movie and it sounds great with Katherine Hahn, who
everyone loves, and Paul Giamati and Molly Shannon, who have
such a crush on Molly Shannon is a is a delight.
She is man, I want to get around the show
so bad. She's just so like sunny and like and

(12:16):
and and and can play it super goofy. But it
is also you know, stunning, uh, and I appreciate that.
It is the ability to kind of, you know, fill
both of those roles. I love her, always have had
just the biggest crush on Molly Shannon. You know her backstory? Band?
Did you ever hear what happened here when she was
a kid? No? No, I have not. She was on
Mark Marin and her uh, her mother and I think

(12:40):
sister were killed in a car wreck with her father
driving and I think he had been drinking. And like,
it's brutal to hear her tell that story. Um, yeah,
that's tough, man go through a tragedy like that. Oh
youve ay, Jennifer Mudge says Sophia Coppola. Stanley Kubrick David

(13:03):
Fincher and Martin Scorsese if the Irishman didn't exist. I'm
with you, Mudge. You you can park in my garage
any day. That's so funny that Casey Pegraham, who is
like such a particular boy when it comes to music movies,
just loves that one. And it's such a device. So
I didn't hate it, but I was with you. It
was kind of like it just felt like such a

(13:24):
retread to me of like things like like Casino and
uh and and Goodfellas. But I don't know, maybe I
really did just have a bad taste in my mouth
because of that video game cut scene aspect to it
just bugged. Yeah, for sure. Uh, Mike Bender or Binder
Uh is also parking in my garage because he says

(13:45):
Alexander Paine batting a thousand sideways election Nebraska about Schmidt descendants,
he didn't put Citizen Ruth on there. That's great. They're
they're all great. I'm with you. He's my favorite for
one of my favorites, he's my top five. I think.
Bill Horton says, yeah, I haven't seen all his movies,

(14:06):
but I think they're all supposed to be pretty great.
He's just a magical creature. I adore him. He's got
what have you seen Hunt for the Wilder People, Chuck,
I still haven't. It's been in my queue for like
two years, and I don't know why I haven't seen
it yet. It's just lovely. I saw it when it
came out in the theaters, and I think I saw
it like twice in the theater. It's just one of

(14:28):
these movies that's just very, very nice. It has conflict,
but like nothing horrible happens to anybody, and everyone kind
of learns a lesson and ends up better at the end,
and but not unlike a cloying, obnoxious way. And he's
got another one. His first film is called what's it called.
It's called Like Boy or something like that, or the

(14:50):
Boy that looks like has a very similar vibe. But um,
I yeah, I just adore him. And then I and
again great example of an interesting, quirky, small director. Yeah,
going and being able to helm these massive Marvel movies,
which is, you know, he can look at that as
a good or a bad thing, because it does start
to kind of take them away from doing their smaller,

(15:11):
you know, more heartfelt things. But it's also nice to
see these big movies with a little heart. Boy is
what it's called from two thousand ten um. And he
also obviously directed a bunch of Flight of the Concords.
And he has a movie called Eagle Versus Shark that's
really cute with the fight. That's a great movie. Uh,
let's finish up here with a couple more t J. Danny,

(15:32):
his p T Anderson. His lesser movies are a far
cry better than a lot of director's best movies. Yeah,
I mean I would argue that he has no lesser movies.
T J. I love him, even his supposedly worst movie
that I covered recently with Adam what's it called, Inherent Vice? Yeah,
I still thought it was very interesting. Well, I mean,

(15:53):
people love that one. Though people do love that one.
I had a hard time with it at the time.
It isn't it wasn't the right movie for me at
that moment, But I need to get need to give
it another shot because I know people that I really
respect who love it. All right, let's just quickly do
a few more of these. Eve Elizabeth Lee says, ain't
never seen a shitty John Sales movie. I would agree
with that. John sales classic, Joe Well says Denis Villanieu. Yeah,

(16:18):
for sure, no stinkers yet the stinkers, and he's a
good example of bouncing nicely between a small ish movie
and a massive movie. You know, Robert Eggers is on
the list. I know it's early. That is David Barlow.
I totally agree, though. Another vote for Yorgos Lanthamos from
Christian Nelson Bonzalis. J Fraser says Robert Zemeckis, Oh, boys

(16:45):
always got some stinky boys. Hard disagree. He's got some.
He's got some bad news bears in his catalog. Interesting.
I mean, the the movie about the Joseph Gordon Levit
doing the high wire walk was terrible. I think polar expresses.
I haven't seen it, but didn't that kind of generally yeah,

(17:09):
I mean, I guess some people think it's a classic.
Some people say it's a stinker did He did some
terrible Beowolf movie too, That was the all of his
c g I ones are are pretty pretty divisive. But
he also did one, if I'm not mistaken, that Welcome
to Marwin, which is supposed to be terrible, supposed to
be unbearably bad. Boy. Now I'm looking, I'm not sure

(17:36):
that Robert Semikis has made more good movies than bad.
Did he direct Romancing the Stone? I don't know. Let's see,
Holy sh it, well, that's certainly in the good group
he did. It's close, man, I bet it's fifty fifty.
But hey, this is all in the opinion of the crushers.
So j Fraser, he directed Death bea Comes Her. I

(18:00):
didn't know that. I really like Death Becomes Her as
as cheesy as it was, And he did all three
Back to the Futures. Didn't know that either. Romancing the Stone. Um.
He was a big force in the Tales from the
Crypt series. He was an executive producer and directed three episodes.
Oh dude, I gotta tell you this is really funny. Um.

(18:20):
So Contact movie. Contact was the one where uh Jodie
Foster uh finds aliens by sending pings into outer space
or whatever. Um. There's an amazing part in that movie
where she's got this rack of like equipment in this
like lab that's supposed to look like I guess science
c type equipment, but it's all like kind of like

(18:44):
pro sumer audio equipment. It's the thing she's noodling with
is like an effects processor, like like like like delay
and reverb and phaser and stuff like that. And she's
literally turning this dial trying to tune in the aliens
and it's like an electra I'm sorry, even tied. Ultra
harmonizer is the name of the device. You're like, well,

(19:04):
that looks fancy. Oh God, bless him. Art department. They
work pretty hard. They sometimes they don't quite nail it all. Right. Now,
we're gonna do our second and final segment here before
stream this UM. I borrowed this from Peach pank Hurst,
one of the great old pals here, one of actually names.

(19:24):
I'm sorry, see that name again, Peach pank Hurst. That's
a great name, Peaches. Peach has been around for a while.
She's wonderful. So I moved this one over to the
regular movie crush page just to get a little bit
more traction because I was short on time. But Peach asked,
and there is a great question, who are some of
your favorite movie parents? M hmm, good one, huh? Movie parents?

(19:47):
Like favorite just just just I mean as in they
were good parents or just interesting characters perhaps that you love,
like you know, Elliott's mom and a t like a beloved,
beloved movie parents. It's true waller Stone. I mean, I
really love Catherine O'Hara and the Home Alone movies. I
mean mainly the first one, even though she's like obviously

(20:10):
a negligent, derelict parent. I love the scene when she
realizes that Kevin has been left behind. She just goes
Kevin and then like passes out. You know, it's just
a classic physical comedy moment. I'm trying to imagine Home
Alone now with Moira. It turns out we've left her left,

(20:32):
Kevin is home alone. What are we to do? She
does that thing where she emphasizes if it's like a
three syllable words, she'll really emphasize and then stop on
that first syllable. I'm now, I can't even think of
a sucking three syllable word or three Uh, I'm losing
an old I can't think of that exactly. But I

(20:52):
love that she always says it's a bebbet like she
would say defy, defy exactly. That's very good. I mean,
I think you know this, but she it was not
written that way. I mean, she brought that to it
and entirely. Man, I'd love to get her on what
a legend fabulous. I might try and do that. I've

(21:13):
been getting some good kids lightly, so I'm kind of
trying again. You know, the the rub is trying to
get someone who can record themselves decently, but totally apparently
you can use the zoom audio if they have nothing else,
and yeah, just don't get him to wear your buds
or whatever. It totally were all right, we're gonna go
with Oh, this is so great, Philly Yates, says Harold Ramos.

(21:35):
Playing Seth Rogan's dad and knocked up is the kind
of parent I would aspire to be. That was great.
Remember that it wasn't a big part at all, but
he was such a great dad and those scenes are wonderful.
Harold Ramos. Yeah, remember he played the dad and knocked
up Seth Rogan's dad. You have a few little scenes together,
but they're really great. That's right, yes, And he passed
away not terribly terribly long after that. I believe so sad.

(21:57):
He's fabulous. Ethan yavn Or and boy Ethan Yavin here
one of the crushers. I've said, you need to get
that Yavin for license plate Star Wars, and he did
nol and he put a picture of it up. He
says Kevin Pollock and Jamie Lee Curtis from The Masterful
Film House Arrest, all right, Alfie Brady, says Burt Fisher

(22:22):
from Rushmore. He may only be a brain surgeon, but
he's all right with me. Yeah, boy, he was great.
Sam Sam what's his face? I'm not sure Rushmore? Max's
dad Fisher, Yeah, Bert Fisher, Sam. What's his last name?
I can't remember the act. I just don't remember the actor.

(22:43):
People are yelling now, I gotta look it up. I
hate doing this, but it's okay. I'm with you. Let's
see you get Sam Neil. Oh, yeah, Noel. Sam Neil
was in Rushmore. Who wasn't it. I don't know, not
Sam Rockwell, I've been looking for Sam's in the in

(23:03):
the cast list. Seymour, Seymour as, I'm so sorry everyone, God,
so many people are screaming at me. I'm so sorry.
Say I'm a good lord. No wonder what wasn't coming
up in my own an interesting face? He was also
in the Life Aquatic. He was in Dick Tracy briefly.
I mean he's a legend. Boy. Look at little Mason Gamble.

(23:24):
He's all grown up now, that's so funny. Caroline Gaston
one of our old favorites as Morticia and Gomez. John
Query says Bill Murray and Fran McDorman and Moonrise Kingdom.

(23:46):
Does it concern your that your daughter ran away? That's
a loaded question, great line, Let me see. Joshua Hall
says uh siok Wu and trained to Boussan. Yeah, I'm
down with that, great, great movie. I would add the parents, um,
you know again, not maybe because they were great people,

(24:07):
but the parents in Parasite are very you know, they're
trying to survive. They ultimately love their kids. They're doing
the best they can, but they're also kind of garbage people,
but very complex. I want to see that again. So good. Yeah,
I gotta see that. I've probably seen it five times.
I just love amazing. T J Danny says, Stanley Tucci
and Patricia Clarkson an easy a. Yeah, there were a
lot of fun. Weston Holstin says the gris Walds, But

(24:33):
for TV, Sam's parents and Freaks and Geeks are my
all time favorite fictional parents. Yeah, what about the parents
and that seventies show? They're great. I love uh and
Kitty and Red Red Oh I think so Yeah, they
were fun. I really love that show. It was a
big big fan. Uh oh boy, this one's so great.

(24:55):
Ian Tyson, says Harry Dean Stanton as Andy's dad and
pretty and pink, so good. He was amazing. I think
freaks and geeks of streaming now on something Hulu or Netflix.
What a what a crop of talented young young folks
that went on to do huge stuff. Yeah, I've seen

(25:15):
that twice all the way through. I think it's a
third time. Might happen soon. It's very good. Stellen Carlson
one of our oldest friends, loving that blue hairage Dellen.
The parents from my neighbor to Toro, because they seem
like nice people. They are a lot of good. Well,
the parents and Spirited Away are very derelict and awful,

(25:36):
uh and negligent. But you're right, yeah, the parents and
uh my neighbor Totor are lovely. That's been I bought
that knol like five months ago and we still haven't
watched it. Watch it with the kid. It's lovely. It's well.
We have movie night tomorrow night, so we're gonna watch
Aladdin because she's never seen that. But I keep kicking
to Toro down the road. Well. Also, all of the
Studio Ghiblie films are on HBO Max Now as well,

(25:59):
so really there's there's other really good ones. Spirited Away
is great. My neighbor Totoro is probably the most like
one of the most one of the more kid friendly ones.
But I think she'd like Spirited Away. It's it's a
lot of fun. Also, Howel's moving Castle, h Castle in
the Sky. They're all lovely, They're all lovely movies. We
gotta get gotta get ghibli with it, get Himli with it. Chuck.

(26:21):
Christopher Steiner totally agree here, says Shazam Billie's foster parents
were awesome. That is such a sweetheartwarming movie. Manatim only
watch that she normally might not be into it. She
really loved it. Wonderful Oh, Alan Alida and Carol Burnett
in the Four Seasons. That's from Laurie Sutton. I was
in college at the time and so badly wanted them

(26:42):
to be my parents visiting campus for the weekend. Yeah
for sure. Uh. Someone on the Crushers page on the
original post mentioned um apparents in a Christmas story, especially
the mom she was so great and wonderful. Mike Mike
Sam says the parents from Love Simon. If only every

(27:05):
set of parents was that understanding. Did I see that movie?
I'm not familiar. I I think I have. I'm pretty
sure I have, and I know it and it looks familiar.
I'm gonna go with yes. Let me see here, oh

(27:25):
Ian Tyson again. Paul Dooley is Jim Baker in Sixteen Candles.
He comes through for Samantha in the end. Yeah, he
was a pretty sweet dad. Those U Ferres Spueller, Ferris Spueller,
the John Hughes movies had some pretty great parents, including
the parents and Farres Always Love I Always Love. Ferris
is dad of that movie. He's just so chill. Dan

(27:47):
Maynard says George and Lorraine McFly Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
I think it's important, you know, in those types of
movies for the parents not to be that that's one
thing that sets them apart from just like, you know,
really cliche kind of like one dimensional family type, you know,
eighties movies or whatever. It's just like there should be
dimension to the parents. They they have like a life

(28:08):
as well, and they that should be seen. Uh as
that should be portrayed, you know, accurately at least like like, okay,
a great example, not a great movie, but I think
a lot of people do have a funnest for this
is like American Pie, you know, Eugene Levy, like he
sees his son like you know, having sex with a pie.
It has to have this awkward moment with his son,
which is a thing that parents a lot of times

(28:30):
have to do. Maybe not it's such an extreme example,
but you know, parents are often like portrayed as super
one dimensional or like they don't have any inner life
of their own, and I think movies that that give
them that rise to the next level. Yeah, I totally agree.
Sofia Fernandez says Steve Martin and parenthood. Uh, and I'm
gonna personally throw uh Mary Steen Virgin in there too.

(28:52):
She said. He seems like a real depiction of a
real dad laws and all. Yeah, totally. Chel Stone says, uh,
Elio's parents and call me by your name speech by
the dad at the end is gold, totally, Rachel. Wonderful,
wonderful movie. And let's finish off with let Me See

(29:15):
Here Boy, Stanley two cham Patricia Clarkson an easy a
or getting a lot of love there. And I agree,
that's a good movie. Man. So many people said that
they were the best, they were the best parents. All right,
let's finish up with j Fraser here, says father of
the Bride, Diane Keaton and Steve Martin. Yeah they're pretty great.

(29:37):
What a great bearing. I love it, all right. No,
we're gonna finish up with Thanks Peach for that. Uh
dare I say you are a peach? We're gonna friend
Uh finish up here with stream this and nol. I've
seen a couple of movies lately. We're still barreling through
Ship's Creek season five now. But uh, I failed to

(30:01):
mention a few weeks ago when we got back in
the Saddle that I did watch Wonder Woman eighty four.
Did you that was not good? I liked it. I
did not like it. Yeah, I liked it. I thought,
I don't know, I didn't put too much stock in
it to be the end all be all, and I
thought it was. It wasn't great, but I liked it fine.

(30:22):
I enjoyed it. I just thought the villain was so
corny and like, just he didn't he didn't do He
wasn't good. At being a villain. He kept making horrible
decisions and using this power that he had, like in
the most hair brained way, and then at the end
like it just the way he did his big villain
moment just made no sense. And I just I it

(30:44):
fell apart for me and just I just kind of
kept being like, really, we're going there, and it was
so like over the top of the acting. And I
love that actor Pedro Uh what's his name, yeah, Mando. Yeah,
he's great. But um, I was not a fan. See,
I kind of liked him actually, um, and I thought
he played that role perfectly for what he was. Um.

(31:07):
Not a great movie, but I enjoyed it fine. There
were enough good moments in it. If I if I
pick it apart, it falls apart a bit. But um,
I'm gonna defend it a little bit from the people
who who thought it was a piece of garbage. But hey,
sounds like you're one of those people, know. I just
I you know, I wouldn't go so far as to
say it was a piece of garbage. I just disappoint

(31:29):
It was disappointing, and I didn't really have a huge
expectations and except that Wonder Woman was the first d
C movie in a minute that like was actually fun
and not just brooding and depressing, and they were, you know, bleak.
This one tried to capitalize on that and make it
fun and over the top in that same way. I
just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Um, but

(31:50):
I had enough moments in it. I think that redeemed
it a bit from me. Got it. And then we
watched a great movie, one of the best movies I've
seen in a while, called Promising Young Woman. Uh no spoilers,
but it is the directorial debut of writer director Emerald
Finnell or Finnel I'm not sure how she pronounces it.

(32:12):
Amazing debut film I believe she created. And what's the
showrunner for? Uh, what's the show killing Eve? I have
not seen, but it's supposed to be loved. Yeah, Promising
Young Woman is awesome. It was stylish and clever and
had a great ending and twists and turns, and it
was tense and taught and current and just I loved

(32:34):
everything about it. It was awesome. Interesting that you say that,
and I've heard the same thing, and it's got nothing
but glowing reviews. Uh, my my lady friend and two
of her girlfriends had like a you know, kind of
a visit and they watched that and they actually did
the whole spend twenty dollars, you know, to get the
current movie streaming, and they loved it up until whatever

(32:56):
the third act twist is, and then they hated it
vehemently with a passion and said they thought it was
like anti feminist and that it was like and I think, yeah,
I don't know, man, I'm just I'm just reporting what
i've what I heard. I haven't seen it, and I
really want to see it. But um they all three
apparently were in agreement that it was that they hated
the way it went, Like they almost said they felt

(33:16):
like it was passed off to a different director all
of a sudden and like totally out of character for
where the movie was going. But um, I I can't
speak to that. I just I wanted to bring that
up because I thought it was interesting how much they
disliked the ending. Hard disagree. I loved the ending and
I both did good. I'm looking forward to seeing great movie.
What have you been watching? I really really like this

(33:39):
new Marvel thing WandaVision on Disney. Plus, I haven't seen
episode three, Yet it's it's the episode three is when
you start to get a little more cracks in the
facade of what's actually going on. I like it purely
for what it is like for I think it does
such a good job of mimicking the writing and the
style and the set deck of you know, things like

(34:01):
Bewitched and I Dream of Genie and all that, and
then the third one is like a Brady Bunch kind
of sixties thing. Um. At first, I'm like, it's a
little bit of a head scratch. I'm like, are you
guys gonna just keep this up? Or like, is there
gonna be like something's gonna break this this veil of
what's going on, and there's gonna be like a real conflict.
And I think we're starting to see that happen. Um.
I would agree with some of the criticism that maybe

(34:21):
it's packing not a whole lot of plots into a
pretty big bucket, you know. But I've I've I've very
much enjoyed and looking looking forward to the next one. Well,
I can't wait to see the third one. I'm on it,
And I think that's it for today. If that's all
you got, that's all I got man all right, Well,
