Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
(00:29):
Hey everybody, and welcome to movie Crush Miny Crush Monday.
I'm staring at the handsomest face on my zoom screen
right now. Are you looking at your own zoom feedback screen? Yeah,
I know you're more handsome than me. No. I was
always saying, you're looking at yourself because you're a handsome boy. No,
I'm looking at two faces. Yes, and I like you.
(00:51):
That's really sweet, Shuck. I appreciate it. I did my
makeup for you this morning. It looks very nice, Chuck.
I have stopped trimming my beard. I was keeping cut
fairly short and I would really let it, let my
hair go my beard. I shaped up recently, but I
was doing a thing where I was kind of treating
myself to once a month getting a nice haircut and
having them do a beard trim. So I did. I
(01:13):
didn't even touch it myself. I would just do it
once a month and have them do it. And now
I've been back to get haircuts. I have done that.
I went to our place near our office, Rudy's, but
they won't do beards because you gotta keep your mask
on the whole time. So up again. Yeah, I need
one real bad. I've got hair coming out the coming
out the little little brim of my hat. It's just
(01:33):
kind of spilling out the size it look like a
total bro Uh so quick, uh Crusher games update. I
am still really enjoying Ghost of Seshima. It is the
more I get into it. You know how those games
once you're about once you're in, you've gotten pretty good
(01:55):
and you've gotten better weapons and more skills and moves,
and like that's when you, for me, at least, you
really can start to get engross standing a storyline too.
But um no, it is one of the most beautiful
games I've ever seen. It is gorgeous, and it's because
it's Japan. It's these you know you'll be in these
like in the Golden forest and uh and you know
(02:17):
there is a map, but instead of having a map
overlay on the screen anywhere, you're guided by the guiding wind.
Oh that sounds magical. So you press a button and
a breeze will blow to take you in the direction,
and little dandelions are flying and leaves, you know, autumn
leaves are floating, and it's just such a peaceful relaxing game,
(02:38):
and you also get to be a samurai and just
have some great sword killing goodness. Is there is Is
there some gore? Is there some slicy slice? Oh yeah,
I mean it's all katana based, except for you know,
you've got bone arrow and you've got these other kind
of a little like a sort of samurai kind of
ninja like weapons that you can throw at people. But so,
(03:00):
I mean, it is good if you want to if
you want to catch your kill on. But but you're
always like you're trying to save the village elders or
you're you know, it's not like the you know, um,
what's the word I'm looking for of like dead red,
redemption just sort of a dirty, open world, ugly world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(03:20):
I guess get it. Get it? Like this is like
more pure. I feel like like the guy is always
trying to do something good with his with his killing. Yeah.
I'm I'm at this really an unfortunate place with video
games right now, where I have three quite large games
that I am at various stages of completion. I know, dude,
(03:44):
and I'm really painting myself into a corner where I
really want to get this one but I'm like, I
gotta finish Last of Us too. I gotta finish Zelda
Breath of the Wild, and I still have Red Dead
Redemption or to rather taking up like six hundred gigs
on my PlayStation. I haven't played it and you know,
like a year and I'm still holding out hope and
I'm gonna finish it. Maybe I should just cut my losses.
(04:05):
It's that sunk cost fallacy. But I know you love
the game, so I should. That's such a good story.
I need to finish it. Um, I'm with you. I'm
a one at a time or um. Really enjoying it though,
Like if you see a fox, you follow the fox
and it will lead you to this mountain peak usually
or something with a shrine, and you you honor the
shrine and you breathe in deeply and it gives you
(04:27):
like a little experience point or something like. Still all
these very zen. Yeah, you can take a hot springs
bath to increase your health. It's all just relaxing and lovely.
Breath of the Wild is very much like that, only
you know, it's obviously a Nintendo game, but it's it's
a little lighter on the graphics, but it knows how
do they know how to design these games with the
limitations of those systems in such a way that it's
(04:49):
like really that kind of immersive experience and Breath of
the Wild you can do the same thing where you
can like, you know, pet a dog one of the
stables and it'll it'll take you and dig up a
little treasure for you or whatever. Like, it's really gentle
and kind of sweet. It's a beautiful game. I'm almost
done with that one, actually, so good stuff. All right, No,
we're gonna by the way, I'm taking a lot of
(05:10):
ship for dissing Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory. When
did you do that? I think? Why would you do that? Monster?
Did it on stuff? You should know? Okay, we watched
it with Ruby a few weeks ago, and dude, here's
my take as an adult. Gene Wilder is brilliant and
the movie is garbage. Okay. Uh, it's slow, it's not
(05:32):
well acted except for him. The songs that don't like.
It's just not even pure imagination. I hate it. It's
painful for me, and I'm getting people are really mad
at me on the internet about this. And it's a
beloved movie, and I love Gene Wilder in it, I
really really do. But the rest of it I just
can't even sit through hardly. I I do agree with
(05:53):
you that, like I think, upon revisiting it, it probably
would not hold up to people's ex dictations in their
nostalgia level. Is probably much more responsible for them loving
the movie than the fact that it's actually a good movie. Um.
I think it's genuinely generally considered to be kind of schlock.
You know, it is kind of a B movie, expensive
(06:14):
B movie in a lot of ways, you know what
I mean. Yeah, it doesn't land for me. And I
got a crusher named Grant McLeod Grant you're on my list,
called me coming out. He called me a snob? What
called me a movie snob? Grant like so much schlock
and garbage, like you can't love Night of the comment
(06:36):
like I do, and be called the movie snob. I
was like, Casey is a movie snob, right, like legit
movie snob. And he'll even admit it. Yeah, he only
he watches Criterion Blue rays exclusively Cinema yas to be cinema. No,
I'm the same way, dude, Like there I I obviously
I'm not snobby. I just you know, I have a
certain taste. But I love a lot of very broad things. Sure,
(07:00):
you know. I mean, I can't love The Hangover as
much as I love The Hangover and Ron Burgundy or
Anchorman or whatever. And you call me a movie some
anchorman too, though, forget about it. I still never saw that.
I didn't either. I just know that it's a total
retread in the way that you and I hate those
kind of hears, removed comedy sequels that are just like
(07:23):
beat for beat, retreads like zoo Lander was really guilty
of that, and this sounds like it was. So. The
moral of this story, though, is Grant McLoud, You've made
my naughty list and got my eye on you, buddy. Now.
Grant even said apologies beforehand. Dot dot dot Chuck is
a movies no. But yeah, it's like saying, uh, and now,
(07:45):
don't be mad, but uh, just kidding, Grant. It's all good,
It's all grid, all good in the Grant hood. It's
all spoopy. You know that was not a good joke. No,
I wasn't. I'll give you credit for spoopy spores, but
all good in the grand hood. No, no, it wasn't
good at all, but we're leaving it in because you
(08:05):
gotta you know, you got you gotta like own your mistakes.
You gotta grow as an artist. That's the only way
to do it. You gotta bomb every now and then.
All right, So no one, We're gonna move on to
a couple of things I posted here. Oscars are coming up.
Weird year for Oscars obviously because there were so few
movies well there were, and there weren't right Like, I mean,
there were a lot of indies that came out this year,
(08:26):
there just weren't a lot of big tent poles. I've
actually looked at the list for this year last year
and it's pretty intense and they all look really interesting,
and there's a lot of things that flew way under
my radar. So I'm kind of intrigued what the Oscars
are gonna look like this year because I usually just
really couldn't give a ship. So I asked all this,
what Oscar category should they add interesting? If there aren't
(08:48):
you should get rid of? What would you get rid of?
And uh, Josh Brennan says, fully they should have fully
it's a separate category, and have it featured on the
main uh not night. Yeah, I mean, you know, the
fully artist is sort of wrapped up in the and
the Oscar for sound design. That's kind of what that
award is. But I see what you're saying. I think
(09:12):
Josh wants the actual folly artist to get up there
and accept the award. Yeah, but do they surely if
Best sound Design Award that that that person is on
the team. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying.
That is there that gets to go on stage right Well,
I mean usually you don't haul a bunch of people
on stage for that one. For a sound design award,
it's usually just for the big ones. Let me see here.
(09:34):
Sabrina Merah Firminger Great Name says they need to add
stunt categories Best Stunt Performance and Best Stunt Choreography to
celebrate the artisty physical artistry, physicality and the links taken
to keep everyone safe and the badassory. Totally with I'm
I'm with that. I'm with that. I think I think
people have kind of been screaming about honoring the stunt
(09:58):
people for a while now. Uh, Sabrina Grogan. Another Sabrina says,
add best Casting Casting Director so many of whom are women,
can really affect the quality of film absolutely best casting? Yes,
(10:24):
why is that not a thing? I don't know if
some of these are sonaboly not considered an art, but
I disagre casting absolutely casting as an art. Yeah, I
don't know. I mean I guess it is. I mean,
you know it's surely how how responsible directly is the
casting director? I mean, obviously the director is going to
(10:47):
tell them who their top picks are for certain roles.
It's not just you know, them in a vacuum casting
the movie with no oversight, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean
I don't know. I think there would be that you
can find a way to award it. Vanessa Cashman. One
of our old prints is do they really need a
best adapted screenplay? I mean, isn't the work already done
(11:08):
for them? Oh? That is a hot take. I mean,
I'll say this. I've written screenplays, and just because there's
a book based on it doesn't mean you can just
plug it into some algorithm and it spits out a screenplay.
You know, I think it does matter. I mean, you know,
like it's not the work isn't all done? You have
(11:30):
to convert to a different voice a lot of the time.
You know, like maybe a book is written where it's
largely internal narration, and then you have to write dialogue
for that or vice versa. You know what I mean. Yeah,
I mean a lot of stylistic choices go into adjucting
a book. I see where Vanessa is headed. Then our
old buddy Austin Handler says it's essentially an editing award.
(11:51):
I'm not saying it doesn't take skill, but still, yeah,
I mean I see that. Take disagree though. Ultimately John
Desmonds has at best Comedy in Best Horror, just ahead
and break those out. Yeah, those don't get recognized by
the Oscars as best pictures, so maybe they do need
their own spot horror, especially especially now that we're living
(12:11):
in this like age of like kind of new Golden
age of horror with the ri Asters and uh um
Eggers David Eggers of the world. Yeah, and you know,
the Golden Globes obviously does that a little bit with
Best Musical or Comedy, which I applaud, but that has
also led to some interesting and awkward groupings every now
and then. M Golden Globes are tough. Did you watch that?
(12:35):
Didn't the globes happen, it's happening the next day or so.
This past week I watched them. Who were the big
Were there any big obvious winners or well, I'll tell
you my favorite was a surprise winner. Was Jason Sadekis
One Best Actor for Ted Lasso, a movie that or
a show that we're watching again when we usually don't
do that. Um in a show I have raved about
(12:57):
because I adore it, and he was caught very much
off guard because I think everyone thought Eugene Levy would
win it for Ship's Creek has sort of the swan song,
but he didn't win it. Ted Lasso got it, and
I was super stoked. I don't know about this at all.
What you're talking about about? What that? The show with
Ted to Ted last? I've not I've not even heard
(13:18):
of think about it except for the eight times that
I've talked about it on this show. No is that true?
Is it about? It's been my stream this a lot.
I've talked about it quite a bit. It's fine, Okay,
it's Jason Sadekis. It's an Apple Plus show where he
plays an American football coach who gets hired to do
an English Premier League soccer team to coach them in
(13:42):
hopes that the team will fail. Chuck, this is no
ding on you. It's literally just like I tune it
out when I hear that it's Apple Plus because I'm
not getting another Ala Carte subscription. I'm just not doing it.
That's what everyone looks for in a co host, is
the occasional tune out. Uh, Emily, Mike and Thomas says,
I think they should restructure the whole hierarchy for acting awards.
(14:04):
The way it's set up now, it makes it seem
like male actors are more important in the whole supporting
versus lead thing. It's questionable. Sometimes I would stop breaking
it down by gender altogether and do separate categories for
movie genre, then add a few more categories for amazing cameos,
breakout roles, ETCETERA very interesting thought experiment, Emily interesting and
(14:28):
and some good back and forth about that. I'm gonna
have to dig into that one a little more. That
is the thought. Freddy Lenz's Best Horror h Jessica Evans
Toten says, maybe the place isn't the Oscars for this,
but something like a Viewers Choice Award. I could see that.
(14:49):
But the Academy, the academy noble, they would never go
for something that they would never stoop, So don't let
them vote. The ra poll the people people, no, regular people. No,
a text campaign from a boat could take over exactly.
(15:11):
I love how like all these Academy members are like
patrician like lords or whatever. You know. I mean, I
we know people on the Academy. It's not quite as
stuffy and clothes as you think. You work in the
industry long enough you get uh, you get those screeners
and you get to to vote. But it does it
does have this air of exclusivity and um yeah, a
(15:32):
little out of touch kind of too, you know. And
you already kind of don't like the oscars anyway, So
that's the last thing you need. Listen, when I said
I don't usally don't give a ship, I only mean
because it's it's so politicized, with all the with all
the fur your consideration campaigns. It feels like so many
movies don't have a chance. No, No, it's it's kind
of bullshit in a lot of ways. I get it,
popularity contest and all that garbage. Some some years I'm
(15:54):
more cynical than others. You know. Sometimes I used to
really get into it. Now I'm a little like, come on,
can't really give art an award is better than anything else,
you know, so subjective and kind of weird. Yeah, Sadaka
said it said something really nice in his speech though,
He said, I reject the notion of best actor though.
(16:17):
He said, because the best actor is the person that
you're acting with in any scene. And I was like, Wow,
that's a really kind of a great thing to say.
That is pretty cool. I love it. David Barlow says
Best Practical Effects Award Visual Effects always go to c
G I these days, dude, I am all about that, Barlow.
(16:39):
That's a great idea, and that might encourage some people
to do it again a little more. You know, practicals
are really making a comeback to you know, are they. Yeah.
In Mandalorian, for example, the the Yota thing is a puppet,
and I just feel like, I think I think it's
it's being seen more as the art form than it is,
whereas it used to be like, oh, c G is
(17:00):
the way of the future, and it's going to replace
because it looks so much better, but it doesn't. We
all realize it doesn't because it's not a thing in
the shot that's taking light and feels placed correctly. It always,
even the best c G I feels a little uncanny
valley or a little you know, it takes you out
of it. So I think I think it's a really
good point and very accurate. So culver Matthew says this
(17:20):
at best female actor, best male actor, best non binary actor,
and ditch the anachronistic best actress. All right, m hm, oh,
isn't it. I thought actress was kind of not cool.
I I always in conversation referred to act actor. You know,
I don't. I don't say actress anymore. Starts yeah, both
(17:44):
of us say actor. Um let me see here. Mike
Sam says, I agree with Emily about combining gendered roles
into one category. I would leave them as two categories
to the best performance in a lead role in supporting role.
You know what I would worry about there is it's
just I mean, we're looking for more representation, not less,
(18:07):
and I would I would be worried if you just
had the best actor of any uh, anyone on the
gender spectrum that you know, you'd end up getting out
of the seven or eight of them would be male actors,
maybe not maybe supplies. I'm not gonna try to make
(18:30):
another I'm not gonna try for another Spooky Spores joke
because then you're just gonna be humiliate me again. You're
gonna humiliate me. Austin Hamler Old Princes add best Ensemble cast.
That's almost like a best casting award. I kind of
like that. Yeah, that's good, And he said, lose sound
(18:51):
mixing editing. He said, sorry, you can still exist, but
just move it to the technical portion. Yeah, apologies to
sound mix ors, but it's not the most exciting a
word to so you get accepted for the big show.
I know that stinks because sound is such an important
part of it. You know, Oh it's huge, and I
mean it really is. Like again, I hadn't never sat
(19:12):
in on like a mixed session for a movie, but
just knowing what goes into making a record a song,
it's literally like that times you know, x hundred, because
it's like you've got all of these different elements that
have to not compete with each other, and you're mixing
and like you know, super surround sound and like everything
has to be in the right field. I mean there's
(19:33):
a lot to it, a whole lot totally. All right, buddy,
we got about ten more minutes, so we're gonna move
on to our final category today. What TV or movie
setting would you want to live in? I said, it
can be a house if you want to get that specific,
or just a sort of a town or a place. Um.
And I thought of this because I was watching Ted
Lasso and where they this little block where they shot
(19:54):
where he lives in London. It's the most charming looking
place on planet Earth. It's just beautiful cobble stone alleyways
and flowers in the windows and it just looks like
the loveliest little scene. And I told Emily, I was like,
I bet you there's Ted Lasso tourism and people that
want to go stay in this little area of London
(20:15):
because it's so goddamn charming. So I would I would
live there. I don't know if that's my final choice,
but uh, do you have any fantasy land or or
a movie house that you love? Nol gosh, how about
that Hobbit hole from Lord of the Rings that look cute?
The shire in the shire, yeah, and and and in
hobbiton Um gosh, uh that thing on that I'm the
(20:40):
only half kidding about that. I do like the cute
little cozy home dug into the side of the hill
and actually renting. Renting a cabin in the Blue Ridge
Mountains is the thing we do around these parts for
a little getaway. And they're all just so cozy and
like have made of like you know, uh, tim like lumber,
and you know, have like deer heads on the wall. Look,
(21:03):
you know, you know what I mean. They're like they're
made of like the same kind of like stained you know,
plank boards. You know, they have a very distinct look
to them. But I think the words you're looking for
his pine, pine, lumber, whatever. And they have a hot tub.
They gotta have a hot tub. You can't have a
Blue Ridge cabin without a hot tub. It's a deal breaker,
that's true. That thing is full of grossness. Though. By
(21:26):
the way, Oh my god, Huck, don't ruin this for me.
Oh uh. Laura Bjorkland says Grand Budapest Hotel. Love the
colors and one I could only imagine would be fascinating
nooks and crannies everywhere to explore. Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. Oh boy me and al Data, one of
our favorite old pal says, I wish I could have
spent the pandemic where X mocking It took place. Man,
(21:48):
remember that house totally in the forest. Oh my god, Yeah,
futured everything. I'm all about that place. I wonder if
that place exists or if they made that for the movie.
It was so remote, I have a hard time believing
that it's real. But it sure looked like just a dope,
modern kind of bungalow getaway. You know, I bet they
built that for the movie. Yeah, you're probably right. Well,
(22:11):
no, no no, no, but did you did you? Dev's Chuck,
I did? Did you really like it? I did? I
need to get back into that. It was a little
slow start, but I need to give it my attention
because I really loved X Makta and the Alex Garland fellow. Yeah,
I quite enjoyed it. Right, It is a slow burn,
But I know you can appreciate a slow burn. You
(22:31):
just gotta be right in the right mood. Let me
see here. Nathan vin Zel, one of our old friends, says,
I would love to live in Pawnee, Indiana from parks
and rec nice little town and interact with the characters. Well, yeah,
if you throw in the characters, sure you go get
(22:54):
a job in that office. That's what I do. It's like,
I want to be next to his ease, put my
desk there. Yep. Sold uh lydia pell source says this
may be an odd one, but while watching Lost, I
wanted to be stranded on that island with all those
amazing characters so bad. Mm hmmm, Yeah, I get that.
(23:15):
I kinda I had a lost I was big into
that show for a while. I would have wanted to
live there at a certain time in my life. Totally.
It was that'd be. I don't know, Like I feel
like maybe there was a lot of love lost on
that show because of the way it ended. Um, but
people don't talk about it as much as they used to,
you know what I mean. Like it feels like it's
(23:35):
sort of slipped away from from the zeitgeist a little
bit because of its pretty disastrous ending. Yeah, and it
was sort of at the beginnings of like the great
era of TV, and uh, I think it's gotten. TV
has gotten so much better since then that it may
be sort of lost in the shuffle a little bit. Yep.
Lost in the shuffle. No, you gotta stop that ship.
(24:00):
Tyler Murphy says, the Ewok village of Indoor on Indoor cute,
the coolest tree forts ever. Remember the actual e Walk movie?
There was an there was an e Walk movie like
I think it was called The Battle for Indoor or
something like that, and Wicket character as portrayed by Warwick Davis.
(24:21):
If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I did not see that.
M Let me see Melinda beccalleo when a GIRLD friend says,
I want to live in the law from a new Girl,
but also the town of Ship's Creek a bunch of
hobbit hole people know a lot of people want to
live in those little hobbit holes. Yeah, oh good, there
we go. I wasn't It wasn't just I'm not alone
(24:42):
in my hobbit hole. You're not alone. You've got lots
of friends, you know. I'll get in the hots of
each with each other and reread Disease Across the Land,
love it. Cheryl Creech Signer says Midnight in Paris was
fortunate enough to spend three nights I'm sorry, three months
in Paris and only nineteen Paris is perfect for me,
except I can't speak French, Cheryl, would you do for
(25:05):
three months? Just wildly gesticulate, point at things, get judged,
say the American word over and over again in the
hopes that they'll understand it the next time. You say,
Greg girk or Gurka says Skyfall before it fell into disrepair? Yeah, Skyfalls.
That was pretty dope house before it sky fell into disrepair?
(25:28):
What is what's wrong with you today? I'm just having
a second episode. You didn't do that in the first episode.
There haven't been as many opportunity. There weren't as many opportunities.
You know, I got us, I see an opening, I
take it. Oh gosh, I feel like Jonathan Strickland's sitting
across from me all of a sudden. Oh no, don't
say that, Chuck, No, no, no, no, uh no, shade
(25:49):
on strick. I love I love strick of course terribly.
He is quick with the pun Terrelle chauceays the borough
in the Harry Potter series Jamie Powers is the beach
town from Lost Boys. Seems pretty cool. Yeah, they call
it something else in the in the movie they call
it what do they call it? There's like a like
it's it's like a fictionalized version of Santa Cruise, but
(26:11):
it is definitely Santa Cruz. Yeah, they made it look
super cool. Uh let me see here, Sarah muscle guy
with the sacks on the boardwalk, sweat glistening off his pecks.
It's funny. There were several comments on Jamie's post that said, uh,
Roy Galty said, excellent Raves if you're into sacks rock, Yeah, exactly,
(26:33):
totally very well known scene. Uh where was I? Oh?
Sarah Stapleton says, any Nancy Meyer's house more specifically, something's
got to give beach house or Meryll's house. And it's complicated. Yeah,
Nancy Myers always has great houses and yeah, okay, I'm
not directed. Something's got to give, and uh, it's complicated.
(26:56):
Among it's a rom com situation, yeah for adults. Brandy
McDonald says stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, okay, sure, Culverra
Matthew wants to be on the island and lost as well.
Hugh Graydner says or h u Graydner says stars Hollow
(27:19):
should be a night would what would be a nice town?
What is stars Hollow? It's the town from Gilmore Girls. Oh,
it's just the name of the little town. McDonald just
said that like a second ago, and you spoke it
out loud too. I did with my own dirty mouth,
your own, your own dirty mouth. I know they did
(27:40):
a reboot of that recently that people said it was
actually not bad of of the Gilmore girls, Oh right,
right right. Emily saw that she was. She was a
Gilmore girl fan, got it. I did not. I couldn't
take that lead guy. And if you're a fan, then
that's heresy. But I did not like that guy because no,
I not have not seen a moment of it. I
(28:02):
thought he was well, I just I won't have anyone's
yung was not into it. Chris Nap says, the Lake
Tahoe House from Godfather Part two is that where you
broke my heart Fredo on the boat. Maybe I haven't
seen god Father Too in a long time, and I've
seen it a few times. But if they go I
(28:22):
don't know, they go out on a boat. It seems
like it would have been if if it was anywhere,
it was at the Lake Tahoe House, because they go
literally out on a boat on a lake, and that's
where that scene takes place. So I imagine that's possible. Interesting,
all right, but let's finish this out. We got Tracy
de Martini says, The Brady Bunch House for Nostalgia, and
One Division Yet, Chuck, have you watched One Division yet? Chuck?
(28:44):
I watched the first two and that was when it
first came out, and then I have not watched since.
And I'm just that in Mandalorian or kind of hanging
over my head. I just need to pass through those.
The third one is the Brady Bunch she episode, I believe,
and they do a fabulous job, and it's one you
should stick with. The real he goes places Yet's you're
sort of like head scratchy at first, like what were
they doing here? And then they make it real clear
(29:05):
it's good. All right, boy. A lot of people are
saying starts hollow from Gilmore Girls, Margarita Saramago, Norma Brunson,
Jake Dingler. What is that person's name? Amanda Scanlon White,
Jake Dingler, Jake Dingler, I just like this is it's
just a cool name. Um uh yeah. I think it's
probably just like a homeie, friendly, small idyllic town. I
(29:30):
think that's the that's the deal. It's so funny. Someone
Patrick Gorman won a World Prince at Scranton, Pennsylvania, from
the Office, but not Studio City, California. It's funny because
the Office is one of those like God bless them
every time they're outside, like it's so clearly l a
and not scratted Pennsylvania. Yeah, totally. Yeah, that's true. You
just had to sort of suspend that disbelief. All right,
(29:52):
and we'll finish up here with Christina Wheeler in a
show that you mentioned with Schnides wherever they film top
of the Lake, please God please, that's somewhere in news
in New Zealand. Yeah, I found not mistaken. Yeah that was,
(30:13):
like I said, I watched that first season, really really
enjoyed it. For some reason, never watched the second season,
which I think was a fully different thing. It was
a different story. It did like it didn't even really
hardly reference what happened in the first year. Did you
watch the second season? I think so, but I only
really remember the first season. The second season was a
little bit less memorable. Boy, Christopher Austin says stars Hollow,
(30:35):
I guess I'm missing out, and well, everyone wants to
live in that town. Yeah, it sounds sounds lovely, does
sounds nice? All right? Well that's it for this week.
Nolla tight thirty two minutes in and out, in and
out like the Burger place, and thanks for joining me.
Here's another hot take in and out. Fries no good. Oh,
(30:56):
that's that's the thing. People say that they don't like
the fries there. It's a crispy, very skinny, shoestring fry
and it's very bland unless you have to salt them yourself.
But I will say that burger is a it's a
good burger burger. They do the handcut fries, though, which
I can respect because it's you know, they've got real
potatoes in that restaurant that they're cutting up, but they
don't get crispy. They're always floppy. I gotta crispy fries, dude,
(31:19):
you don't like a floppy fry like you know, say
what you want about McDonald's whatever garbage they're putting on
this French frise that makes them crispy. And now it's true,
you're not wrong. That's what I wrong. I think what
we all want. I think nobody wants a floppy fry.
They or a spoopy sport or spoopy sport. All right, thanks, Buddy.

Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
(00:29):
Hey everybody, and welcome to movie Crush Miny Crush Monday.
I'm staring at the handsomest face on my zoom screen
right now. Are you looking at your own zoom feedback screen? Yeah,
I know you're more handsome than me. No. I was
always saying, you're looking at yourself because you're a handsome boy. No,
I'm looking at two faces. Yes, and I like you.
(00:51):
That's really sweet, Shuck. I appreciate it. I did my
makeup for you this morning. It looks very nice, Chuck.
I have stopped trimming my beard. I was keeping cut
fairly short and I would really let it, let my
hair go my beard. I shaped up recently, but I
was doing a thing where I was kind of treating
myself to once a month getting a nice haircut and
having them do a beard trim. So I did. I
(01:13):
didn't even touch it myself. I would just do it
once a month and have them do it. And now
I've been back to get haircuts. I have done that.
I went to our place near our office, Rudy's, but
they won't do beards because you gotta keep your mask
on the whole time. So up again. Yeah, I need
one real bad. I've got hair coming out the coming
out the little little brim of my hat. It's just
(01:33):
kind of spilling out the size it look like a
total bro Uh so quick, uh Crusher games update. I
am still really enjoying Ghost of Seshima. It is the
more I get into it. You know how those games
once you're about once you're in, you've gotten pretty good
(01:55):
and you've gotten better weapons and more skills and moves,
and like that's when you, for me, at least, you
really can start to get engross standing a storyline too.
But um no, it is one of the most beautiful
games I've ever seen. It is gorgeous, and it's because
it's Japan. It's these you know you'll be in these
like in the Golden forest and uh and you know
(02:17):
there is a map, but instead of having a map
overlay on the screen anywhere, you're guided by the guiding wind.
Oh that sounds magical. So you press a button and
a breeze will blow to take you in the direction,
and little dandelions are flying and leaves, you know, autumn
leaves are floating, and it's just such a peaceful relaxing game,
(02:38):
and you also get to be a samurai and just
have some great sword killing goodness. Is there is Is
there some gore? Is there some slicy slice? Oh yeah,
I mean it's all katana based, except for you know,
you've got bone arrow and you've got these other kind
of a little like a sort of samurai kind of
ninja like weapons that you can throw at people. But so,
(03:00):
I mean, it is good if you want to if
you want to catch your kill on. But but you're
always like you're trying to save the village elders or
you're you know, it's not like the you know, um,
what's the word I'm looking for of like dead red,
redemption just sort of a dirty, open world, ugly world. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(03:20):
I guess get it. Get it? Like this is like
more pure. I feel like like the guy is always
trying to do something good with his with his killing. Yeah.
I'm I'm at this really an unfortunate place with video
games right now, where I have three quite large games
that I am at various stages of completion. I know, dude,
(03:44):
and I'm really painting myself into a corner where I
really want to get this one but I'm like, I
gotta finish Last of Us too. I gotta finish Zelda
Breath of the Wild, and I still have Red Dead
Redemption or to rather taking up like six hundred gigs
on my PlayStation. I haven't played it and you know,
like a year and I'm still holding out hope and
I'm gonna finish it. Maybe I should just cut my losses.
(04:05):
It's that sunk cost fallacy. But I know you love
the game, so I should. That's such a good story.
I need to finish it. Um, I'm with you. I'm
a one at a time or um. Really enjoying it though,
Like if you see a fox, you follow the fox
and it will lead you to this mountain peak usually
or something with a shrine, and you you honor the
shrine and you breathe in deeply and it gives you
(04:27):
like a little experience point or something like. Still all
these very zen. Yeah, you can take a hot springs
bath to increase your health. It's all just relaxing and lovely.
Breath of the Wild is very much like that, only
you know, it's obviously a Nintendo game, but it's it's
a little lighter on the graphics, but it knows how
do they know how to design these games with the
limitations of those systems in such a way that it's
(04:49):
like really that kind of immersive experience and Breath of
the Wild you can do the same thing where you
can like, you know, pet a dog one of the
stables and it'll it'll take you and dig up a
little treasure for you or whatever. Like, it's really gentle
and kind of sweet. It's a beautiful game. I'm almost
done with that one, actually, so good stuff. All right, No,
we're gonna by the way, I'm taking a lot of
(05:10):
ship for dissing Willy Wonka and the chocolate Factory. When
did you do that? I think? Why would you do that? Monster?
Did it on stuff? You should know? Okay, we watched
it with Ruby a few weeks ago, and dude, here's
my take as an adult. Gene Wilder is brilliant and
the movie is garbage. Okay. Uh, it's slow, it's not
(05:32):
well acted except for him. The songs that don't like.
It's just not even pure imagination. I hate it. It's
painful for me, and I'm getting people are really mad
at me on the internet about this. And it's a
beloved movie, and I love Gene Wilder in it, I
really really do. But the rest of it I just
can't even sit through hardly. I I do agree with
(05:53):
you that, like I think, upon revisiting it, it probably
would not hold up to people's ex dictations in their
nostalgia level. Is probably much more responsible for them loving
the movie than the fact that it's actually a good movie. Um.
I think it's genuinely generally considered to be kind of schlock.
You know, it is kind of a B movie, expensive
(06:14):
B movie in a lot of ways, you know what
I mean. Yeah, it doesn't land for me. And I
got a crusher named Grant McLeod Grant you're on my list,
called me coming out. He called me a snob? What
called me a movie snob? Grant like so much schlock
and garbage, like you can't love Night of the comment
(06:36):
like I do, and be called the movie snob. I
was like, Casey is a movie snob, right, like legit
movie snob. And he'll even admit it. Yeah, he only
he watches Criterion Blue rays exclusively Cinema yas to be cinema. No,
I'm the same way, dude, Like there I I obviously
I'm not snobby. I just you know, I have a
certain taste. But I love a lot of very broad things. Sure,
(07:00):
you know. I mean, I can't love The Hangover as
much as I love The Hangover and Ron Burgundy or
Anchorman or whatever. And you call me a movie some
anchorman too, though, forget about it. I still never saw that.
I didn't either. I just know that it's a total
retread in the way that you and I hate those
kind of hears, removed comedy sequels that are just like
(07:23):
beat for beat, retreads like zoo Lander was really guilty
of that, and this sounds like it was. So. The
moral of this story, though, is Grant McLoud, You've made
my naughty list and got my eye on you, buddy. Now.
Grant even said apologies beforehand. Dot dot dot Chuck is
a movies no. But yeah, it's like saying, uh, and now,
(07:45):
don't be mad, but uh, just kidding, Grant. It's all good,
It's all grid, all good in the Grant hood. It's
all spoopy. You know that was not a good joke. No,
I wasn't. I'll give you credit for spoopy spores, but
all good in the grand hood. No, no, it wasn't
good at all, but we're leaving it in because you
(08:05):
gotta you know, you got you gotta like own your mistakes.
You gotta grow as an artist. That's the only way
to do it. You gotta bomb every now and then.
All right, So no one, We're gonna move on to
a couple of things I posted here. Oscars are coming up.
Weird year for Oscars obviously because there were so few
movies well there were, and there weren't right Like, I mean,
there were a lot of indies that came out this year,
(08:26):
there just weren't a lot of big tent poles. I've
actually looked at the list for this year last year
and it's pretty intense and they all look really interesting,
and there's a lot of things that flew way under
my radar. So I'm kind of intrigued what the Oscars
are gonna look like this year because I usually just
really couldn't give a ship. So I asked all this,
what Oscar category should they add interesting? If there aren't
(08:48):
you should get rid of? What would you get rid of?
And uh, Josh Brennan says, fully they should have fully
it's a separate category, and have it featured on the
main uh not night. Yeah, I mean, you know, the
fully artist is sort of wrapped up in the and
the Oscar for sound design. That's kind of what that
award is. But I see what you're saying. I think
(09:12):
Josh wants the actual folly artist to get up there
and accept the award. Yeah, but do they surely if
Best sound Design Award that that that person is on
the team. Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying.
That is there that gets to go on stage right Well,
I mean usually you don't haul a bunch of people
on stage for that one. For a sound design award,
it's usually just for the big ones. Let me see here.
(09:34):
Sabrina Merah Firminger Great Name says they need to add
stunt categories Best Stunt Performance and Best Stunt Choreography to
celebrate the artisty physical artistry, physicality and the links taken
to keep everyone safe and the badassory. Totally with I'm
I'm with that. I'm with that. I think I think
people have kind of been screaming about honoring the stunt
(09:58):
people for a while now. Uh, Sabrina Grogan. Another Sabrina says,
add best Casting Casting Director so many of whom are women,
can really affect the quality of film absolutely best casting? Yes,
(10:24):
why is that not a thing? I don't know if
some of these are sonaboly not considered an art, but
I disagre casting absolutely casting as an art. Yeah, I
don't know. I mean I guess it is. I mean,
you know it's surely how how responsible directly is the
casting director? I mean, obviously the director is going to
(10:47):
tell them who their top picks are for certain roles.
It's not just you know, them in a vacuum casting
the movie with no oversight, right, Yeah, yeah, I mean
I don't know. I think there would be that you
can find a way to award it. Vanessa Cashman. One
of our old prints is do they really need a
best adapted screenplay? I mean, isn't the work already done
(11:08):
for them? Oh? That is a hot take. I mean,
I'll say this. I've written screenplays, and just because there's
a book based on it doesn't mean you can just
plug it into some algorithm and it spits out a screenplay.
You know, I think it does matter. I mean, you know,
like it's not the work isn't all done? You have
(11:30):
to convert to a different voice a lot of the time.
You know, like maybe a book is written where it's
largely internal narration, and then you have to write dialogue
for that or vice versa. You know what I mean. Yeah,
I mean a lot of stylistic choices go into adjucting
a book. I see where Vanessa is headed. Then our
old buddy Austin Handler says it's essentially an editing award.
(11:51):
I'm not saying it doesn't take skill, but still, yeah,
I mean I see that. Take disagree though. Ultimately John
Desmonds has at best Comedy in Best Horror, just ahead
and break those out. Yeah, those don't get recognized by
the Oscars as best pictures, so maybe they do need
their own spot horror, especially especially now that we're living
(12:11):
in this like age of like kind of new Golden
age of horror with the ri Asters and uh um
Eggers David Eggers of the world. Yeah, and you know,
the Golden Globes obviously does that a little bit with
Best Musical or Comedy, which I applaud, but that has
also led to some interesting and awkward groupings every now
and then. M Golden Globes are tough. Did you watch that?
(12:35):
Didn't the globes happen, it's happening the next day or so.
This past week I watched them. Who were the big
Were there any big obvious winners or well, I'll tell
you my favorite was a surprise winner. Was Jason Sadekis
One Best Actor for Ted Lasso, a movie that or
a show that we're watching again when we usually don't
do that. Um in a show I have raved about
(12:57):
because I adore it, and he was caught very much
off guard because I think everyone thought Eugene Levy would
win it for Ship's Creek has sort of the swan song,
but he didn't win it. Ted Lasso got it, and
I was super stoked. I don't know about this at all.
What you're talking about about? What that? The show with
Ted to Ted last? I've not I've not even heard
(13:18):
of think about it except for the eight times that
I've talked about it on this show. No is that true?
Is it about? It's been my stream this a lot.
I've talked about it quite a bit. It's fine, Okay,
it's Jason Sadekis. It's an Apple Plus show where he
plays an American football coach who gets hired to do
an English Premier League soccer team to coach them in
(13:42):
hopes that the team will fail. Chuck, this is no
ding on you. It's literally just like I tune it
out when I hear that it's Apple Plus because I'm
not getting another Ala Carte subscription. I'm just not doing it.
That's what everyone looks for in a co host, is
the occasional tune out. Uh, Emily, Mike and Thomas says,
I think they should restructure the whole hierarchy for acting awards.
(14:04):
The way it's set up now, it makes it seem
like male actors are more important in the whole supporting
versus lead thing. It's questionable. Sometimes I would stop breaking
it down by gender altogether and do separate categories for
movie genre, then add a few more categories for amazing cameos,
breakout roles, ETCETERA very interesting thought experiment, Emily interesting and
(14:28):
and some good back and forth about that. I'm gonna
have to dig into that one a little more. That
is the thought. Freddy Lenz's Best Horror h Jessica Evans
Toten says, maybe the place isn't the Oscars for this,
but something like a Viewers Choice Award. I could see that.
(14:49):
But the Academy, the academy noble, they would never go
for something that they would never stoop, So don't let
them vote. The ra poll the people people, no, regular people. No,
a text campaign from a boat could take over exactly.
(15:11):
I love how like all these Academy members are like
patrician like lords or whatever. You know. I mean, I
we know people on the Academy. It's not quite as
stuffy and clothes as you think. You work in the
industry long enough you get uh, you get those screeners
and you get to to vote. But it does it
does have this air of exclusivity and um yeah, a
(15:32):
little out of touch kind of too, you know. And
you already kind of don't like the oscars anyway, So
that's the last thing you need. Listen, when I said
I don't usally don't give a ship, I only mean
because it's it's so politicized, with all the with all
the fur your consideration campaigns. It feels like so many
movies don't have a chance. No, No, it's it's kind
of bullshit in a lot of ways. I get it,
popularity contest and all that garbage. Some some years I'm
(15:54):
more cynical than others. You know. Sometimes I used to
really get into it. Now I'm a little like, come on,
can't really give art an award is better than anything else,
you know, so subjective and kind of weird. Yeah, Sadaka
said it said something really nice in his speech though,
He said, I reject the notion of best actor though.
(16:17):
He said, because the best actor is the person that
you're acting with in any scene. And I was like, Wow,
that's a really kind of a great thing to say.
That is pretty cool. I love it. David Barlow says
Best Practical Effects Award Visual Effects always go to c
G I these days, dude, I am all about that, Barlow.
(16:39):
That's a great idea, and that might encourage some people
to do it again a little more. You know, practicals
are really making a comeback to you know, are they. Yeah.
In Mandalorian, for example, the the Yota thing is a puppet,
and I just feel like, I think I think it's
it's being seen more as the art form than it is,
whereas it used to be like, oh, c G is
(17:00):
the way of the future, and it's going to replace
because it looks so much better, but it doesn't. We
all realize it doesn't because it's not a thing in
the shot that's taking light and feels placed correctly. It always,
even the best c G I feels a little uncanny
valley or a little you know, it takes you out
of it. So I think I think it's a really
good point and very accurate. So culver Matthew says this
(17:20):
at best female actor, best male actor, best non binary actor,
and ditch the anachronistic best actress. All right, m hm, oh,
isn't it. I thought actress was kind of not cool.
I I always in conversation referred to act actor. You know,
I don't. I don't say actress anymore. Starts yeah, both
(17:44):
of us say actor. Um let me see here. Mike
Sam says, I agree with Emily about combining gendered roles
into one category. I would leave them as two categories
to the best performance in a lead role in supporting role.
You know what I would worry about there is it's
just I mean, we're looking for more representation, not less,
(18:07):
and I would I would be worried if you just
had the best actor of any uh, anyone on the
gender spectrum that you know, you'd end up getting out
of the seven or eight of them would be male actors,
maybe not maybe supplies. I'm not gonna try to make
(18:30):
another I'm not gonna try for another Spooky Spores joke
because then you're just gonna be humiliate me again. You're
gonna humiliate me. Austin Hamler Old Princes add best Ensemble cast.
That's almost like a best casting award. I kind of
like that. Yeah, that's good, And he said, lose sound
(18:51):
mixing editing. He said, sorry, you can still exist, but
just move it to the technical portion. Yeah, apologies to
sound mix ors, but it's not the most exciting a
word to so you get accepted for the big show.
I know that stinks because sound is such an important
part of it. You know, Oh it's huge, and I
mean it really is. Like again, I hadn't never sat
(19:12):
in on like a mixed session for a movie, but
just knowing what goes into making a record a song,
it's literally like that times you know, x hundred, because
it's like you've got all of these different elements that
have to not compete with each other, and you're mixing
and like you know, super surround sound and like everything
has to be in the right field. I mean there's
(19:33):
a lot to it, a whole lot totally. All right, buddy,
we got about ten more minutes, so we're gonna move
on to our final category today. What TV or movie
setting would you want to live in? I said, it
can be a house if you want to get that specific,
or just a sort of a town or a place. Um.
And I thought of this because I was watching Ted
Lasso and where they this little block where they shot
(19:54):
where he lives in London. It's the most charming looking
place on planet Earth. It's just beautiful cobble stone alleyways
and flowers in the windows and it just looks like
the loveliest little scene. And I told Emily, I was like,
I bet you there's Ted Lasso tourism and people that
want to go stay in this little area of London
(20:15):
because it's so goddamn charming. So I would I would
live there. I don't know if that's my final choice,
but uh, do you have any fantasy land or or
a movie house that you love? Nol gosh, how about
that Hobbit hole from Lord of the Rings that look cute?
The shire in the shire, yeah, and and and in
hobbiton Um gosh, uh that thing on that I'm the
(20:40):
only half kidding about that. I do like the cute
little cozy home dug into the side of the hill
and actually renting. Renting a cabin in the Blue Ridge
Mountains is the thing we do around these parts for
a little getaway. And they're all just so cozy and
like have made of like you know, uh, tim like lumber,
and you know, have like deer heads on the wall. Look,
(21:03):
you know, you know what I mean. They're like they're
made of like the same kind of like stained you know,
plank boards. You know, they have a very distinct look
to them. But I think the words you're looking for
his pine, pine, lumber, whatever. And they have a hot tub.
They gotta have a hot tub. You can't have a
Blue Ridge cabin without a hot tub. It's a deal breaker,
that's true. That thing is full of grossness. Though. By
(21:26):
the way, Oh my god, Huck, don't ruin this for me.
Oh uh. Laura Bjorkland says Grand Budapest Hotel. Love the
colors and one I could only imagine would be fascinating
nooks and crannies everywhere to explore. Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. Oh boy me and al Data, one of
our favorite old pal says, I wish I could have
spent the pandemic where X mocking It took place. Man,
(21:48):
remember that house totally in the forest. Oh my god, Yeah,
futured everything. I'm all about that place. I wonder if
that place exists or if they made that for the movie.
It was so remote, I have a hard time believing
that it's real. But it sure looked like just a dope,
modern kind of bungalow getaway. You know, I bet they
built that for the movie. Yeah, you're probably right. Well,
(22:11):
no, no no, no, but did you did you? Dev's Chuck,
I did? Did you really like it? I did? I
need to get back into that. It was a little
slow start, but I need to give it my attention
because I really loved X Makta and the Alex Garland fellow. Yeah,
I quite enjoyed it. Right, It is a slow burn,
But I know you can appreciate a slow burn. You
(22:31):
just gotta be right in the right mood. Let me
see here. Nathan vin Zel, one of our old friends, says,
I would love to live in Pawnee, Indiana from parks
and rec nice little town and interact with the characters. Well, yeah,
if you throw in the characters, sure you go get
(22:54):
a job in that office. That's what I do. It's like,
I want to be next to his ease, put my
desk there. Yep. Sold uh lydia pell source says this
may be an odd one, but while watching Lost, I
wanted to be stranded on that island with all those
amazing characters so bad. Mm hmmm, Yeah, I get that.
(23:15):
I kinda I had a lost I was big into
that show for a while. I would have wanted to
live there at a certain time in my life. Totally.
It was that'd be. I don't know, Like I feel
like maybe there was a lot of love lost on
that show because of the way it ended. Um, but
people don't talk about it as much as they used to,
you know what I mean. Like it feels like it's
(23:35):
sort of slipped away from from the zeitgeist a little
bit because of its pretty disastrous ending. Yeah, and it
was sort of at the beginnings of like the great
era of TV, and uh, I think it's gotten. TV
has gotten so much better since then that it may
be sort of lost in the shuffle a little bit. Yep.
Lost in the shuffle. No, you gotta stop that ship.
(24:00):
Tyler Murphy says, the Ewok village of Indoor on Indoor cute,
the coolest tree forts ever. Remember the actual e Walk movie?
There was an there was an e Walk movie like
I think it was called The Battle for Indoor or
something like that, and Wicket character as portrayed by Warwick Davis.
(24:21):
If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I did not see that.
M Let me see Melinda beccalleo when a GIRLD friend says,
I want to live in the law from a new Girl,
but also the town of Ship's Creek a bunch of
hobbit hole people know a lot of people want to
live in those little hobbit holes. Yeah, oh good, there
we go. I wasn't It wasn't just I'm not alone
(24:42):
in my hobbit hole. You're not alone. You've got lots
of friends, you know. I'll get in the hots of
each with each other and reread Disease Across the Land,
love it. Cheryl Creech Signer says Midnight in Paris was
fortunate enough to spend three nights I'm sorry, three months
in Paris and only nineteen Paris is perfect for me,
except I can't speak French, Cheryl, would you do for
(25:05):
three months? Just wildly gesticulate, point at things, get judged,
say the American word over and over again in the
hopes that they'll understand it the next time. You say,
Greg girk or Gurka says Skyfall before it fell into disrepair? Yeah, Skyfalls.
That was pretty dope house before it sky fell into disrepair?
(25:28):
What is what's wrong with you today? I'm just having
a second episode. You didn't do that in the first episode.
There haven't been as many opportunity. There weren't as many opportunities.
You know, I got us, I see an opening, I
take it. Oh gosh, I feel like Jonathan Strickland's sitting
across from me all of a sudden. Oh no, don't
say that, Chuck, No, no, no, no, uh no, shade
(25:49):
on strick. I love I love strick of course terribly.
He is quick with the pun Terrelle chauceays the borough
in the Harry Potter series Jamie Powers is the beach
town from Lost Boys. Seems pretty cool. Yeah, they call
it something else in the in the movie they call
it what do they call it? There's like a like
it's it's like a fictionalized version of Santa Cruise, but
(26:11):
it is definitely Santa Cruz. Yeah, they made it look
super cool. Uh let me see here, Sarah muscle guy
with the sacks on the boardwalk, sweat glistening off his pecks.
It's funny. There were several comments on Jamie's post that said, uh,
Roy Galty said, excellent Raves if you're into sacks rock, Yeah, exactly,
(26:33):
totally very well known scene. Uh where was I? Oh?
Sarah Stapleton says, any Nancy Meyer's house more specifically, something's
got to give beach house or Meryll's house. And it's complicated. Yeah,
Nancy Myers always has great houses and yeah, okay, I'm
not directed. Something's got to give, and uh, it's complicated.
(26:56):
Among it's a rom com situation, yeah for adults. Brandy
McDonald says stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls, okay, sure, Culverra
Matthew wants to be on the island and lost as well.
Hugh Graydner says or h u Graydner says stars Hollow
(27:19):
should be a night would what would be a nice town?
What is stars Hollow? It's the town from Gilmore Girls. Oh,
it's just the name of the little town. McDonald just
said that like a second ago, and you spoke it
out loud too. I did with my own dirty mouth,
your own, your own dirty mouth. I know they did
(27:40):
a reboot of that recently that people said it was
actually not bad of of the Gilmore girls, Oh right,
right right. Emily saw that she was. She was a
Gilmore girl fan, got it. I did not. I couldn't
take that lead guy. And if you're a fan, then
that's heresy. But I did not like that guy because no,
I not have not seen a moment of it. I
(28:02):
thought he was well, I just I won't have anyone's
yung was not into it. Chris Nap says, the Lake
Tahoe House from Godfather Part two is that where you
broke my heart Fredo on the boat. Maybe I haven't
seen god Father Too in a long time, and I've
seen it a few times. But if they go I
(28:22):
don't know, they go out on a boat. It seems
like it would have been if if it was anywhere,
it was at the Lake Tahoe House, because they go
literally out on a boat on a lake, and that's
where that scene takes place. So I imagine that's possible. Interesting,
all right, but let's finish this out. We got Tracy
de Martini says, The Brady Bunch House for Nostalgia, and
One Division Yet, Chuck, have you watched One Division yet? Chuck?
(28:44):
I watched the first two and that was when it
first came out, and then I have not watched since.
And I'm just that in Mandalorian or kind of hanging
over my head. I just need to pass through those.
The third one is the Brady Bunch she episode, I believe,
and they do a fabulous job, and it's one you
should stick with. The real he goes places Yet's you're
sort of like head scratchy at first, like what were
they doing here? And then they make it real clear
(29:05):
it's good. All right, boy. A lot of people are
saying starts hollow from Gilmore Girls, Margarita Saramago, Norma Brunson,
Jake Dingler. What is that person's name? Amanda Scanlon White,
Jake Dingler, Jake Dingler, I just like this is it's
just a cool name. Um uh yeah. I think it's
probably just like a homeie, friendly, small idyllic town. I
(29:30):
think that's the that's the deal. It's so funny. Someone
Patrick Gorman won a World Prince at Scranton, Pennsylvania, from
the Office, but not Studio City, California. It's funny because
the Office is one of those like God bless them
every time they're outside, like it's so clearly l a
and not scratted Pennsylvania. Yeah, totally. Yeah, that's true. You
just had to sort of suspend that disbelief. All right,
(29:52):
and we'll finish up here with Christina Wheeler in a
show that you mentioned with Schnides wherever they film top
of the Lake, please God please, that's somewhere in news
in New Zealand. Yeah, I found not mistaken. Yeah that was,
(30:13):
like I said, I watched that first season, really really
enjoyed it. For some reason, never watched the second season,
which I think was a fully different thing. It was
a different story. It did like it didn't even really
hardly reference what happened in the first year. Did you
watch the second season? I think so, but I only
really remember the first season. The second season was a
little bit less memorable. Boy, Christopher Austin says stars Hollow,
(30:35):
I guess I'm missing out, and well, everyone wants to
live in that town. Yeah, it sounds sounds lovely, does
sounds nice? All right? Well that's it for this week.
Nolla tight thirty two minutes in and out, in and
out like the Burger place, and thanks for joining me.
Here's another hot take in and out. Fries no good. Oh,
(30:56):
that's that's the thing. People say that they don't like
the fries there. It's a crispy, very skinny, shoestring fry
and it's very bland unless you have to salt them yourself.
But I will say that burger is a it's a
good burger burger. They do the handcut fries, though, which
I can respect because it's you know, they've got real
potatoes in that restaurant that they're cutting up, but they
don't get crispy. They're always floppy. I gotta crispy fries, dude,
(31:19):
you don't like a floppy fry like you know, say
what you want about McDonald's whatever garbage they're putting on
this French frise that makes them crispy. And now it's true,
you're not wrong. That's what I wrong. I think what
we all want. I think nobody wants a floppy fry.
They or a spoopy sport or spoopy sport. All right, thanks, Buddy.
