to be talking to the two people you might already know.
She is a film programmer and historian. He's a filmmaker.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And they just ended a critically acclaimed four year run
on the podcast I Saw What You Did.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And now they're back with a new show.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
The premiere's Tuesday, January twenty eighth on the Exactly Right Network.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's called Dear Movies, I Love You. Please welcome Millie
to Jericho and Casey O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Wow, guys, could you tell we were reading off a teleprompter?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Oh, it's felt really good though.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Pros. We're just prosun.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
How would you guys synopsize what you're doing on your
podcast or like, what the you know, what's your elevator
pitch of the podcast?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Vibe?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, well, you know it's uh, the name of the
podcast is Dear Movies, I Love You, So it is
kind of you know, we say, it's a you know,
having a crush on movies. It's an infatuation with movies.
It's a sincere celebration of film and film culture, and
we just wanted to be accessible to people because you know,
MILLI and I we can get in the weeds about
(01:32):
like art house bullshit, but we like but we want
to talk about it in a way that's like fun.
And we also we like high brown, we like really
lowbrow too, and so we wanted to be like an inviting, fun,
cute podcast. Yeah, Millily, anything to add to that.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Well, you know, I think I'm going to get deep,
perhaps a little deeper than Casey's just real I personally
when I was I'm kidding, you're not the himbo of
the podcast, by the way, You're find You're not a
film himbos as I've heard in the past.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
I really I think over.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
The past couple years, especially during COVID, especially during I
don't know, just like living and life and bad news
and you know, things happening in the world, I started
really thinking about, like my relationship to movies, because you know,
as a person who like lives alone and you know
a lot of and has worked in movies for over
(02:32):
twenty years, I started thinking about, like what, like do
I have an emotional relationship with movies? Like, of course
they're entertaining, of course, it's my job. Of course, it's
an intellectual pursuit, I guess, But what's like my emotional
relationship to it, Like do they do things for me?
Are they my are comfort? Are they my partner for
crying a lot? I mean honestly, And I started thinking
(02:54):
about it in that way where I was like, I
don't know, like I think they are, like it's the
one thing that has consistently stayed in my life that
has been like my refuge from all the bullshit, right,
And there's some kind of I don't know, I have
this like you know, deep feeling of appreciation for like
(03:14):
what the art form I guess if you want to
call it, that has done for my life in that
emotional kind of way. And so that's why I think
when we were like, how what's the vibe? You know,
I was like, I don't know. We just love movies.
We're like in love with movies, we like have crushes
on movies. And Casey like immediately was like, of course,
like I get it, you know, And so I don't know.
(03:37):
I think that that's sort of I think what the
podcast is also about is it's about sort of like
being in love with this wacky world that we're in
and you know, just sort of I don't know, like
being very earnest and sincere about it.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So yeah, And I think there's a lot of like
judgment about like what movies you like or like what
movies affect you the most. Like it's very easy to
be like, oh that's a you know, people will throw
you know, I said this even earlier. I was like,
this is a stupid movie, like I can't hardly wait
or ten things I had about you, but those make
me feel a certain way and that is meaningful to me.
(04:17):
And so I think our movie one, our podcast wants
to kind of, you know, ry hold up all types
of films and make them, you know, celebrate them equally,
and they're meaningful equally. It's more about like how these
movies make us feel rather than you know, the intellectual
(04:43):
value that something has, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, And what I love about that too, is it
I mean, it kind of reminds me of our podcast.
And even the true crime has nothing to do the
what you guys are doing, but it's finding your people too,
who can talk about this one movie for hours even
if they don't like it with you, And you know, yeah,
like the two of you found each other, and then
your audience and your listeners are going to be like
(05:08):
absolutely or no, you're wrong, but you're still connecting in
a way that's hard to do these days. It feels
like everyone's just kind of having these you know, superficial connections.
But if you have this like interest that you're so
passionate about, yeah, you can really connect with people.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, I feel like and you know, listeners, when you
listen to episode one, like there you'll get that kind
of that party. It's like movie party vibe where like
the first time I listened to it, just your guys'
chit chat where each topic and each movie and each
thing that came up, it was like all in like
(05:47):
super interest, super passion. And but then also just like
these different takes where it's like, you know, waxing poetic
about the Magic Mic Trilogy, where it's like I.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Never thought about that before.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That's really true, Like just that kind of thing where
it's like you can be you can be deep and
analytical kind of about anything you want as long as
you like it enough.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And it felt like that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
You know, thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Yeah, there's also like an episode that we have coming
up that I really love because it we're talking about
a movie that Casey is extremely passionate about, and it
is like a movie like basically that his the movie
that radicalized him, that made him a film person, quote unquote,
and it was we and it was a movie that
(06:30):
I had a very different opinion on, and we talk
all that out in a way that I think is
really cool, like just because there was something that he
loves and connects with.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That didn't really get me in the same way.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
I was so like interested in just hearing him talk
about it and hearing his relationship with it and sort
of like what he liked about it. And I don't know,
I mean, I feel like that is something that that
our podcast is doing and will do really well, is
just having that mutual respect for each other's taste, I
mean honestly, like, and that's something that I think is
(07:11):
a thing that makes uh film people so annoying or intimidating,
is that you have, like, like I said, like the
wrong taste. You have bad taste, you don't like the
right things. And I don't really see it that way ever.
I don't ever see people having that Like I don't.
I would rather listen and be fascinated by your passion
(07:32):
for something than just shitting on you for liking a
movie I don't like.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Do you know what I mean? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I love that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
So, you guys on your podcast usually start by telling
each other the movies that you've watched recently.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
What movies have you watched recently?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Millly?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
You go first, Oh god, I got to pull out
my phone.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Oh, she's gonna go. She has to be legit.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I got to be legit.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Did you watch a movie today?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
I watched a movie last night. In the past, so
it's been the past twenty four hours. I watched this
movie called Better Man. Have you heard of this movie?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Is this the Robbie Williams movie.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
It is the Robbie Williams animatronic's monkey. Yes, actually it's
not animatronic. It's like weird cgi right. Yeah, that movie,
to me was so much better than it had any
right to be.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
I don't know why. I was like expecting to go
and it being like this is gonna be.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
One of the most genuinely bizarre, like weird outsider art
things of our generation, and.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
I was like it's actually kind of good, like shit good.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Wow, yeah, good for Robbie. Yeah, I mean he was
a superstar.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Well that's what I.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
Think is so fascinating about it, to be honest, because
I'm like, Okay, they let this movie happen like now
where it's like, here's a star who was essentially not
as famous here in America as he was, you know
in Europe, who hasn't really been around for like twenty years,
and he's a monkey, and its like I'm like, and
(09:09):
it's his life story. I was like, Wow, I can't
believe that they let that happen. I was actually really
impressed that that happened.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
So anyway, Wow, I feel like the whole narrative with
Robbie Williams is like nobody knows about him in America
and then like this movie came out and it was
like this movie's bombing in America and it's like, we
don't know who he is. Why do we go see
this movie?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right, you've never seen this monkey. We don't we can't
support this monkey. We don't know him. Cacy, what did
you watch recently?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Okay, so I watched this movie called and I was
really weeping during this movie, truly, madly, deeply. Have you
ever seen this movie?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
It's like my favorite movie of all time.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Yes, I had never I had like seen bits of it,
but I watched it the other night and it's so
beautiful and touching. It came out in like nineteen ninety.
It's with Alan Rickman and you.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Told me about it, Yeah, Juliet Stevenson.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Juliette Stevenson, and basically the premises her boyfriend Alan Rickman dies,
is dead. This is not a spoiler, this happened. This
is the beginning of the movie. But he comes back
as a ghost and it's it's so romantic and sweet
and silly, and I was like, this is like one
(10:21):
of my new favorite movies of all time. I'm not
even kidding it was.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
It was amazing writing it down right now.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, also because it's so heavy, like they do, they
don't try to clean anything up. It's not the American
version of If a girl's boyfriend died that she lived
with and obviously is her life partner. It is like
there's a scene, I think it begins with a scene
where she's at the therapist ye sawing and trying to
explain how isolated she feels because he's gone and she's
(10:49):
walking around and all these people are living life and
get whatever, and she's ugly crying to a degree where
it is like I was like, who is this woman?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yes, she's incredible, she's such a good actress.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
It's like showing grief the way it really is, which
is so hard for anyone to like do if you
don't understand.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
And the end total no spoiler, but also be careful
because of me because I don't keep my promises. But
essentially the reveal should I not say the reveal?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I don't say the reveal.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I don't want to know, okaycause that reveal When I
first watched it in same casey where it was me,
my friend Dave Mesmer who we worked at the Gap together,
and his friend and she's the one that was like,
we have to watch this movie. And all three of
us were sobbing at the end, like together sobbing. It
was crazy and it was just one of those weird
(11:42):
like it's just a perfect nineties like real life.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I don't know, yeah, I mean I was immediately when
the movie started, and it's like happy tears. I feel
like I felt good at the end of it. It's
not like a downer, it's a happy I.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Think Okay, it's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
It's really beautiful, and I I really, I truly, madly,
deeply loved it.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And he's the director. Do you remember off here?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Yeah, it's Anthony Mangela who did the English Patient and
the talented mister Ripley.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It was his first movie. Yeow, it's his first movie. Yeah,
I'm saying, how did I miss that? As if I
haven't missed every single movie that has come out in
the past.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You're not movie people, which I think is like, this
would be a perfect podcast for you because it's I
think Casey and Millie kind of pulling people into the
movie world, like it's gonna be Okay, we're with you.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Come.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You know what I am.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'm a I find a movie I like and I
watch it forty times and there's no other and I
don't watch it in the other movies, not like I
love this director, I'm gonna watch all their movies.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I don't do that.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I just I do that too. I do that too. Yeah,
there's no shame. That's the thing we're sing podcast. There's
no shame.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Yeah, we are cringe, but we are free.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
We say that all the cringe, but we're free exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Can you guys give individually or together there as a
as a team, like three movies that you would recommend
to people who love movies but are intimidated by by
coming into like a cinema, cinema graphic.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yea, is that the right words?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Like coming into the world of film people, and that's
not so.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Deep and like you have to understand the meaning of
but it'll get you to those other movies that then
you then you can appreciate because you know.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
What I mean, what do they call them?
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Like drugs?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Yeah, well, I guess I have a question. How do
you feel about subtitles? Because for some people that's a
big hurdle.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I don't mind it, Okay, I think the gateway part
though for like the masses, there shouldn't be though maybe
one out of three.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
One out of three, okay, what is needed?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Millie? Do you have? Did any come to mind? Immediately?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
I'm thinking on it.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Well, this might be actually interesting exercise because case and
I are I'm a little older than Casey, and I
feel like this might be like it's going to be
showing our generational roots. Perhaps you know what I'm saying,
Because I think about like what kind of got me into.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Sinophilia if you will, Like, what was the movie that
was the bridge between like I don't know.
Speaker 5 (14:27):
Sixteen Candles and I don't know three Colors Red or something.
I'm trying to think of something.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
I mean, I think.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
For me, she's speaking in kind of film gibberish. Yeah,
thank you. If you don't understand that, don't worry everybody.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Well, I mean to me, I think when I first
kind of was like in high school and in college,
and I was kind of making that jump. I mean, honestly,
I think it was a lot of the American independent
stuff from the nineties. So like I'm thinking of things
like you know, Jim Ramish Stranger than Paradise.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
Or Down by Law or you know Alison Anders.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Gas food Lodging, you know, this kind of stuff that
was sort of like in the kind of indie cinema
stuff in the nineties. That's what I was kind of like,
Oh yeah, there was like you know SNL comedies, and
then there's this, right, and so that's kind of how
I started kind of getting into like more of a
kind of cinema world, right. But then I also think too,
(15:32):
stuff like Stanley Kubrick's like The Shining, that those types
of movies that are kind of like horror but then
kind of what they would call maybe like elevated horror
now which drives you crazy, but you know, in a way,
it's like, here's a horror movie, which is kind of
traditionally a genre that brings in a lot of like
young people, it's kind of brought audience stuff, but then
(15:54):
like it's a little bit more stylish and is a
little bit more open ended in terms of themes. So
maybe something like that like The Shining, And then for
a third, I mean, I gotta say, I mean again,
this is sort of like maybe for a little people
were a little bit younger, but like those like early
Wes Anderson movies like bab Rocket or like I mean,
(16:16):
Rush War was kind of my favorite out of that stuff.
But you know, even like World Town of Moms, I
feel like that kind of stuff would take would basically
set you up in terms of Okay, so here's like
an au tourist director who has who's building a sort
of cinema language for his work, you know what I mean,
And that's kind of I don't know, maybe if you're
(16:38):
kind of getting into that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
That would be like a good entry point.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So that's perfect.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah. Actually, my knee Sophie texted me because she went
and saw The Shining at the theater and she was like, hey,
I just saw The Shiny.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You've seen that, right, And I was just like, this
is so weird. Of course I was like yes, of course.
She's like it was so good.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It was crazy, and I'm like, yeah, it was like
the cutest kind of discovery moment that she wanted she
brought to me because she was like, I feel like
you're the kind of person that would appreciate that movie.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And I'm like, yes, I do, I really do.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah, I would say, I think that's right on. I
think there are some like gateway directors that are like
kind of like how you know, Cinophile sort of like
found their way into movies for my age, you know,
Milly mentioned I'm very young that, so, like I would say,
(17:36):
Paul Thomas Anderson is a really good director to kind
of follow his career because he did like Boogie Nights,
which is art house film, I would say, but also
like a major studio film. But then you know, he
did like There Will Be Blood a few years later,
(17:57):
which is a lot I would say darker and weirder,
and that was like nominated for Best Picture and stuff,
but it kind of is a good way to like
get into more of the like highbrow, you know, cinephile movies.
And then so that's like more on the easier end.
(18:18):
And I would say, like, you know, we're recording this today.
One of the great film directors dies David Lynch, my
favorite director, and he's like a great that he's kind
of you have to if you want to get into film,
you have to see some of his movies. And I
would say the entry point for that for him would
(18:41):
be Blue Velvet. I would say, it's a weird, but
it feels weird. It feels like this is like no
other movie I've ever seen, but the plot makes sense
and you can understand why things are happening, where that
cannot be said for most of his other movies. So
that's like a good if you want to to David Lynch,
I would say, start with Blue Velvet.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You know, that's so true.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That's why Mulholland Drive is one of my favorite movies
of all time is because the first time I watched it,
I was like there's no plot. I don't get it totally,
like there's you know, it's just a movie. There's no plot.
And then I watched it again and I was like,
holy fuck, like the way it blew my mind that
when I could finally follow the plot, blew it so
hard that nothing has ever lived up to that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Again, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Totally agree, because we did that movie for like one
of the last episodes of I saw What You Did,
and I had seen it like maybe twice in the
past once when it came out, which I was totally
with you.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Georgia like was like, I don't know what's going on. Yeah,
it's a vibe.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I guess it's a vibe.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yeah, but I don't know anything.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
And then the second time I watched it, I was,
you know, like maybe sort of getting into it a
little bit more. But then when we watched it for
the episode, I had this like revelation and I was like,
I know everything about this movie, and I, like I
told Danielle, I was like, we're gonna have to really
watch the Clock because I could talk about this movie.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
For like four or five hours. I have so much
to say.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's like everything clicks together a sudden yes, I love it.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
When I saw that movie, my friend Danny and I
hated it so much that like five days later, we
were at a barbecue together and a guy we did
not know happened to nearby us say that he liked
that movie, and we harangued him until he left the
party because we were like, what are you talking about,
(20:34):
which is, of course, are very very nineties personality, which
was lauded back then when we were just like overtly
hostile for no reason to every single person. But it
was this thing of like, I know you're talking about,
but it's like, of course that's what David Lynch is
trying to get you to do. He's like, do you
like this or do you absolutely hate it? Okay, here's
(20:54):
a little more. Like I just think that part of
it is making people who maybe wouldn't even think to
do it suddenly talk about movies, know what they like
about movies, like know that their opinion counts about movies.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's cool. Yeah, totally, wait, Rip do a great one.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It spums me out, not as a huge movie person,
but just like having a weirdo in the world is
like really comforting, you know, like Paul Rubin's kind of
a thing where it's like, yeah, it's comforting to other
people out there.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Doing whatever the fuck they want to do.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Well.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I think David Lynch's special as an artist outside of
like the movies he made, because his whole thing was like,
you do not need to suffer to make great art.
That was like his big message. And I think that
a lot of people feel like when you make art
or any sort of like project, you're like, you need
to die for this, you need to starve yourself, you know.
(21:48):
And I feel like David Lynch was very much like, no,
you need to be like it's better to be a
happy person making art and you can still make art
about dark things, and god knows he did, but it's
like you still need to like take care of yourself.
And I think that's a good message.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Millie, did you say what your movie most recent was? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Better Man?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh so sorry.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I got so excited about truly Made because that's like
it's literally like I made that movie. Nobody knows that
movie ever, and like I'm always telling people you gotta
watch it.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
I was shocked. I looked on letterboxed and like, no
one I follow has watched it. And I was surprised
because I was like, this, It's just it's an incredible film.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
You, Casey, you have, like in the past, have done
this very similar thing where you have pulled out like
this unknown rom com and have become like it's number
one fan.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I think that's lovely about Wow. I'm like, oh, this
like fucking.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Weird rom com that no one's seen in like thirty years,
Casey five stars all letterboxed. Now nobody else I know,
I've seen it, and then I'm compelled to go watch it.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
So I'm a lover. I'm a feeler, and I love
digging up these these rom toms no one's watching.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
I love it, Casey.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Are you so excited to finally get some fucking attention
in this podcasting world since kind.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Of no longer a producer even behind.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
The Finally, Yes, I get to emerge from behind the
I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Know, the sweet spots.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Yeah, No, I mean yeah, I'm thrilled. I mean it
was such an honor that Milly, you know, reached your
hand down into the gutter and pulled me out of
it and uh down there. Yeah, Like anywise, Yeah, how did.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You guys like come to that idea? That you like,
this is a movie podcast, Like, what was the thinking
behind all of that?
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Well, like I saw what you did was ending, and
Millie wanted to do another show, and I was kind
of like, well, I was like, please let me produce it.
So that was sort of the impetus, just you know,
Millie making a new movie show.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, we joked about this. We joked about this in
the pilot episode. Actually, I don't know if I should
say it, but that I was like, basically like Bradley
Cooper and a Star is Born, and I like found
Casey the Lady Gaga character, like doing a little burlesque
in a shitty bar.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
And I was like, come in my limo. I'm gonna
make a start with me.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
No.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
I was like, here's the thing about Casey, Like I
have heard him on other podcasts before, and he's so charismatic,
so funny, knows a lot about movies, like has like
you know when you when you hear people or you
meet people that have cut like you know you have
like similar opinions about things, and it's like, yes, they
get they would get me. Oh yeah, very crucial for me.
(24:41):
I just have to say, and by personality, I need
to be understood. That is like my lot in life.
And so I was like, oh, here's somebody who I
think we line on a lot of similar stuff, and
we're not like the types to like the same things.
That's what I'm saying, which I love. I love that
we don't like the same things necessarily, but our reasons
(25:01):
for liking and hating things are the same.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
If that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You respect that the other person's wrong essentially.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Or like the reason why you don't like something is
the reason why I would like something, right, But though
those two things would probably are different, I guess totally. Yeah,
but I would hear him on these other podcasts and yeah,
I mean it was just like, well, I want to
do a show with him?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Does he want to do a show with me?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Is the eternal question?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Totally yeah, Yeah, I mean it was just so funny. Million.
I feel like, up until recently or like just checking in,
you want to do this show with me? Right? And no,
I mean I feel like Million and I always like
we always connected really well, and I wanted to keep
working with her if she wanted to keep making podcasts.
So that was sort of the like the beginning of
(25:50):
the show.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
We want to get a sense of through the move
We're just trying to do the movie thing along with you.
We want to get a sense of who you are
as people. What do you get when you go to
the movie theater? What is your snack combination?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
This is a great question, And actually I feel like
a lot of our show is like about the like
movie watching ritual too, like what we do when we
watch movies. I always get popcorn and I always try
to get a cherry coke. Those are kind of my
go to. It's hard for me to incorporate candy into
it because if I need the I need the pop
(26:26):
and then I need but the candy in the pop
is just too much sweetness. So I don't know. That's
the popcorn and cherry coke is my go to.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
That's lovely, that's nice.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
The popcorn thing is absolutely like I movie theater popcorn
always gives me a stomach ache. But I don't care
me too, It's like the problem. I was just like,
I don't care if I'm on the toilet for like
three days. After this, I have to go. I have
to eat it, like I don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I'm with you, Casey like what I started.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I was always for a very long time the peanut
M and m's on top of the popcorn, yes, yes,
which I used to call like trail mix.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Mix Selthie right, But then.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Lately I've been because I, yeah, I don't want to
get the soda if you're getting candy, so I switch
and now it's either that I get the popcorn and
a Coke icy, oh, you know, which is the only
time I ever drink full flavor coke.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
I usually do not drink. I usually do like diet
or coke zero or you know.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
But in an icy it's the most delicious I.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Have all time.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
I have to so good.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
So it's either that and then I alternate with them
the peanut and M and m's, but always popcorn.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
So can I ask you guys a question? You guys
are all moviegoers.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I don't go to the theater, and I've always wondered this,
Are you supposed to finish your snacks before the movie starts?
That always blew my mind, where it's like you have
to save it and you're supposed to eat it before, right.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
I can't help myself sometimes.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You mean, like in the fifth ten minutes of trailers
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, and then everyone stops eating at the when the
movie starts, so I feel self conscious chewing loudly when wait.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
So you feel self conscious chewing when the movie has started.
You think you need to scarf the food.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
It seems like everyone else has art finishes there. And
I don't know if it was like a rule that
I just didn't fucking know.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I've never finished my snacks before. I mean not to
say it's like it's not like I haven't put a
put a serious dents.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
But to me, part of the joy of.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Like the big bucket of popcorn and watching a movie
is like the zone out and just insane, just like okay,
just shoveling it into your face in the dark.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's the fun of it. Okay, that's good to know.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I a lot of times I do. I don't know
if it's too completion, but.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
I I'm like, seventy five percent.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
There we do.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
That's exactly what I was gonna say. I'm seventy there.
You know, I'm peaking at the right when the movie starts,
and then I can pick my spots when I get.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
It's not out of respect though, it's out of just
being gross and I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Like I'm starving.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, and then sometimes I do a thing where I will,
you know, go to that seventy five percent and then
save the twenty five and then we'll dip in like
an hour into the milk, sure into the film, so
I'll just like pick it back up again. Oh yeah, yeah,
it's like I remember I had this, but yeah, I'm
housing that shit like I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Like, hell, yeah, okay, it's good to know.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Honestly, I'm like, I don't worry about those other people.
I have a follow up to that question, which is,
who's the most famous person you've ever seen at the
concession stand at the Arc Light here in Lasgow?
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Oh shit, oh man, Danielle and I saw somebody that
was on Seinfeld, not as a main character, but some
recur And now I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Was it like a Patrick Warburton or something like that, but.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, but it was the guy with the white hair.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yeah, it was definitely some beloved side character from Seinfeld
we saw at the Arc lay.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
The Arc play was a good place to spot celebrities
I feel like, or like known people.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
I don't know why this guy popped into my head.
But I was seeing Nope at the Arc Light. I
think it was Nope or was us one of the
Jordan Peele movies? And Tom Morello was getting popcorn of
Rage against the Machine. Guitarist was good, Yeah, popcorn.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That is a good one.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
I was always so jealous whenever I would hear the
stories of Keanu.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
Reeves going to the Arc Light. Oh yeah, and I
was like, when does he go? And how come I'm
not there? At the same I.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Saw him at the Beverly Center. You got to go
to the mall, I know.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
I mean, the only reason I wrote that question in
it was because I saw.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Colin Farrell at the end of Concession.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Sand So I reverse engineered that entire thing simply to
be able to tell that story again.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Oh man, we're feral for Faral.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
We are right, We're a pro feral podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
We know.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I'm how could you be anti?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
I challenged you, but I swear to god, I felt
him coming from like five hundred paces.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I was just like, what's this.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
There's electricity in the air down here in the lower
concession area. And then I looked over there he was glasses, headband,
Oh my workout clothes. He absolutely was like the aura
was like twenty feet in front of him.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
He knew it, We all knew it.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It was amazing. It's an yeah movie stars at the movies, like,
what more do you want?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
You guys, do you have a favorite movie theater moment
now that we're talking about them?
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Besides finishing all that amazing food, well radicalized you in
the movie theater.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
We had kind of a crazy one recently. This isn't
a good memory, but this is something bad that happened
where someone was doing a yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
File firecracker during furio Yes, and it was insane, like
and do you do it? Oh no, I wish no.
Speaker 5 (32:16):
It was it was an hour into Furiosa.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Oh shut.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
All I know is that it was packed.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
It was like the Thursday that it came out, so
it was like no empty seat. And then all of
a sudden you would see you saw this like fireball
sail through the air. Jesus landed in like the first
like five rows of seats, and then everybody just jumped up.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah, and every like.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
The whole theater.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
It was like we were in this like frozen moment
of we were like waiting for an explosion or so.
It was like really hard, So everybody was like stood
up and like kind of moving towards the emergency excess,
but nobody was. We were kind of like frozen, waiting
to see, like what would happen with the fire, Like
either was gonna just fizzle out explode, somebody was gonna
(33:10):
like get burned.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
We were just waiting for something to happen.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
And then by the time anything was supposed to happen,
the fire alarm got pulled and every they were like
clearing people out, so we had to leave.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Anyways, you can't do that these fucking that's an eighties trick.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
In this movie theater, I'm gonna I'm gonna call it
this movie theater out in Atlanta. Chronically, there's always teenage
antics at this place. And if you every time, because
this is not the first time there's been some malarkey here,
and like, this is the problem with the movies is
(33:48):
that it's not just teenagers running uh you know, scams,
but it's like the teenagers run the place, so they're.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
In coats and so nothing gets done.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
There's no policy, it gets it acted because of this,
and so, uh, every time something has happened in this
movie theater, including the fireworks saga. I have asked one
of my friends that has kids. I was like, is
it a school holiday and they were like yes, and
I'm like, oh yeah. So the messaging is that on
(34:20):
a school holiday the kids go to the movie theater
and cause trouble.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
So now yeah, yeah, they're like, that's their way to party.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
This is what I think every movie is, Like, That's
why I don't it's always firecrackers.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Yeah, especially that movies. It's already so tense and so
much going on.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Yeah, and it was we had to get we got
a pass to come back to see the last hour
of it, like an hour into it.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
It was so annoying. But I don't know, Casey, what
about you. Do you have any.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Memorable film or movie theater experience?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Well, I mean I kind of talked about this on
one of our episodes where I had to like yell
at those old people because they were in my seat.
I've had a lot of issues with people sitting in
my seat when it's a reserved seat. I don't know
how you both feel about the reserve seats in the
movie theaters, but I like it. I like having a
reserve seat for myself and my wife and I were
(35:19):
in the theater. It was like a sold out theater.
We were seeing The Big Short, and we got there
right when the movie started, and there were these I
go to the this is at the arc light and
I go to like the guy working and I'm like,
where are our seats? I can't even see it's so dark,
and he's like, they're up there, but I can see
that there's a guy sitting in your seats, so you're
gonna have to ask him to move. And I'm like,
(35:41):
oh god. So basically it was this elderly couple and
they're imagine there are four seats and they they own
two of them, but they're sitting in the middle, and
we own two of them, but they're sitting in the middle.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Too, and so they have to know you can't do that.
I'm angry.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
They have to scoot over one, you know, to make
room for us. And so I go up and I'm like, sir,
you are in my seat. And he's like what And
I'm like and the movie has started and I was like,
you're oh, you're in my seat. I paid for these seats.
And his wife is like, what's going on? And oh
(36:20):
my god. I was like please, and the movie has
started and I'm like, please move over one seat. And
then the people behind them are like, why are these
people standing in the middle of the movie, And I
was like, this is my ticket, move over one. And
finally they did get the message and move over one.
But that was a pretty harrowing experience, and you have to.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Sit next to them.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I have to sit next I'm on a second though,
just a devil's advocate.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Why were you so late?
Speaker 4 (36:47):
That's what my mom said to me too. She was like,
what's your fault? You were late to the movie? So I, uh,
you know, I that's true. I can't deny I was.
I was wrong for being late to the movie.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
But the last time we went to the movies it
was a very similar situation, except for I was the
late one and the movie theater for some it was
in my hometown. It was so dark inside the movie
theater that I couldn't find the rose walking like the
letter row walking up and no idea what the number
of seat? So my cousin is up there somewhere and
(37:21):
I walk halfway down and it's pitch black, like I
can't see anything, and it's one of those ones where
you know, the newfangled movie theater seats where it's like
a lazy boy recline. So I'm walking really slow because
I don't want to slam my shins into a recliner thing.
And I just a'm like guessing as to where my
seat would be or where my cousin is, and I
(37:42):
so I'm bending over and trying to look into people's faces.
And when I got like halfway down, walking really slow,
and I just go like Anne, and then this girl
just goes no, oh no, and then I just so
I keep going and then I just end up very
slowly running into the wall. It was one of those
small theaters and doesn't have stairs on either side. It
(38:05):
was just like I just got to the end by
touching my nose to a carpeted wall.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
That hurts me. It was so embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
That is just so scary though. It's so it can
be so dark in there, and there's like, you know,
there's like dozens of people sitting quietly and you're like
trying to navigate them. I mean, it's like a horrible movie.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
And they can see you fine because their eyes are
and it was the beginning of a complete unknown where
so jupid guys. It's so dark and there in a
hospital while someone is dying of a degenerative disease, and
you're like, so when I hit the wall, my cousin
Sophie is the one that's there, and.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
She goes, did you just run into the wall?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
And I'm like, thanks for your help, and she goes,
I couldn't see you.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I didn't know it was you until you started laughing.
Speaker 5 (38:48):
That's so funny you said that, because I saw that
movie in the theater too, and the opening, the first
like five minutes of a note, is so dark that
I thought I was about to go to the projection
boos and be like, could you like, I don't know
if the you know, the movie's playing right or whatever.
And because there are people just like you who were
(39:08):
like fumbling stumbling because it was so I was like,
why is this gonna be so dark?
Speaker 6 (39:13):
I don't understand where we're at.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
It's crazy. Yeah, oh my god, wild. Should we let
you guys host a little bit?
Speaker 3 (39:20):
What you know?
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You guys host like it's your podcast?
Speaker 4 (39:24):
You go, yeah, we have a few questions here lined up, Millie,
do you what what should we start with here? Oh, gosh,
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
You know, this is when we were talking about, you know,
kind of what we're gonna do for this podcast, like
how we're going to set it up and what are
these like questions that we want to ask our guests, right,
And one of the things that came to mind, I
mean again, like this this podcast that we're doing is
also about like movie culture. So you know, we're talking
(39:54):
about not just like movie theater going, but like like
video stores and you know, just stuff that if you're
into movies or there's like these little rituals, these little
you know, little things that we do. And one of
the questions that we like to ask is, imagine that
you're in.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
A video store. And so if you're you know, going.
Speaker 5 (40:18):
Through the video store, what's like the first VHS or
DVD cover that comes to mind when you enter.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Into that store? Do you have your I do? It's
not going to be the same, for sure, it'd be
amazing if it was. At the same time. One, two, three, twins.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
I can see both of those perfectly in my head.
So absolutely, well, why did that?
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Why is that twins? For some reason? That's that's the
that's the one with Yeah, Schwartzenegger.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Yeah, yeah, Now what's your relationship with that movie, Georgia?
Do you have a relationship?
Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yes, I was the right age and every other weekend
at my dad's house, my single dad, and so we
had a we would have to rent a VCR from
the d Starr, but we got to do that, and
so we.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Just fucking love that movie and watch the shit out
of it. I'm sure it's so inappropriate for children.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, okay, very good. And Karen, what about official called Wanda?
Do you have any relationship with that movie?
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Well, the first thing I saw was Kevin Klein with
his like balancing on something, which actually could be from
a different movie, but I'm picturing him like I feel
like he had that spate this run of movies from
like eighty four to ninety five where it was like
that he would be it would be Kevin Klein on
the spine of a VHS tape, like balancing on a
(41:46):
chair or like having a mustache.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Both these movies are posing for the cover. Yeah, Like
they're not like take a clip from the movie. They're
like the cast.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, closing.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
I totally see the visual, the visual part, but I
think the Kevin Klein anything he was doing. I wanted
to be there for it, and my family would be too.
Like a fish called Wanda made my parents laugh so hard.
It was one of those kinds of that and the
Four Seasons like where you're like, what's going on that
they like this so much? And then it made me
(42:17):
pay more attention to, like the actual comedy because I
was interested in, like what was everyone doing that was
a listening that response. Yeah, they weren't because they were
not easy laughers and they were like crying laughing. So
I think it was that piece of it where it's
like kind of what our family liked a little bit.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
It is funny because I feel like you mentioned that
they like those are both like posing for the poster,
and I feel like that's such a lost art. Everything's
photoshopped now or it's like a still taken from the
movie or something, but.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Like very poorly too.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
It's weird, like it looks like a Hallmark movie poster. Yeah,
but it's like a big budget movie.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:54):
I don't know if they just can't be you know,
these stars can't don't want to get back together for
a little shoot or something, but.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Right get in front of that white psyche. That's right,
sell this thing.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
Well, very good. That's I love that, Millie. You know what,
I don't feel like you have answered that question. What's
what's like the VHS cover that comes to your mind?
Speaker 5 (43:16):
Well, I mean I was such a video store loser
as a kid. I mean I was there constantly, and
it was just like you know, well, first of all,
my parents never let us go to the movie theater.
They were too cheap to let us go to first
run movies. So we were at the video store constantly.
And I all of my good memories from video stores
(43:38):
come from the horror movie section.
Speaker 6 (43:40):
It's just what clicked in my brain.
Speaker 5 (43:43):
And so I think for me, the first one that
comes to mind is the cover for a movie called
Happy Birthday to Me, and it's a basically a shish
kaba obskewer going through guys mouth into the back of.
Speaker 6 (44:01):
His head.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Happy Birthday to Me.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
I have never even heard of this movie.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
What, oh it's a classic.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's it was in the whole
like a solid horror section, which I wouldn't necessarily be
that interested in, but you would kind of love the
like I was thinking that would always be next to
like Christine and then like something else.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
So you'd be like, oh, I would watch a Stephen King, Oh.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
My god, Happy Birthday to me, or like the one
where the like she will have her revenge. There was
some really dark late seventies horror that would get mixed
in there, so then it would just be like, well,
we can't rent that, but what is it? Like, what's
happening over there?
Speaker 6 (44:41):
There was another one that is in that era. I
think around that era.
Speaker 5 (44:46):
The movie was I think the movie is called Phenomena
by Dario Argento, the you know Italian horror director, but
it was called Creepers and it was basically the the
cover was like illustration of Jennifer Connelly, the actors Jennifer
Conlelly with half of her face.
Speaker 6 (45:05):
Being ripped off by like insects.
Speaker 4 (45:10):
There's a lot of bugs in Phenomena Creepers.
Speaker 6 (45:14):
And this is just on a shelf.
Speaker 5 (45:16):
At my height, which at the time I was probably
three feet tall or something. I mean, I was like
and I'm going, yeah, this is like totally ruining my life.
Like all of these little boxes. They were so vocative,
so freaky, and it just you know, those are the things.
Speaker 8 (45:31):
That I kind of gravitated towards I think, yeah, definitely,
and you were in there like staring at these boxes
like you it was quiet like the library, yes, and
you were desperate to pick something that would actually entertain
you because that was like your one chance where it's like,
go find something, and.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Then it was like, well, will I pick that will
actually make me happy?
Speaker 1 (45:49):
And your sibling can't just so you you guys have
to agree on it.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, that's the worst part.
Speaker 4 (45:53):
Fabulous. I love talking about VHS covers in the video
store because I just think it's like a time. It's
like when you saw of start learning like movies to
become evocative to you at a very young age where
you're like, what is that? I need to know what
that is? And I think that's sort of.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Well, you know, my sister and I snuck into the
X rated We pushed the curtain inside and ran into
the X rated video store section, but no one was looking,
wasn't it. I read about this in our book. I
was like, you have. I was so overwhelmed, Like you
have to look at one and you have to pay attention.
You have to like focus on it or you're not
going to see anything, you know, because I was so
(46:29):
over really good.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
That's like a mature thought process going into this.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
It's like circle circles. Just look at something, and so
I looked at it. It was called naked with shoes on,
and it blew my mind. She had like tenny you know,
like la geared tennis shoes and like scrunch socks and
was like clearly naked everywhere else naked shoes on.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Was like, oh my god, that's a thing. Like I
realize adults were like into it. Naked with shoes on.
Speaker 5 (46:54):
Yeah, that is so such a weird concept now that
I think about it, because like my local video store
had that section as well, curtained off. So you're predictably
like in the family video store with like other people
in your community, so you're seeing.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
Neighbors, you're seeing your pastor you're seeing your so it's.
Speaker 5 (47:16):
Like then all of a sudden, it's like your friend's
dad like disappears behind the curtain, and I'm like, yeah,
that would never Like, that is such a weird concept.
Speaker 6 (47:27):
I don't know if that would happen these days.
Speaker 5 (47:29):
Like nobody wants to be in the X rated video
section while people are running twins, right, It's like a
different vibe.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
So it's like purvs go in the back. Yea.
Speaker 6 (47:42):
They don't want that for themselves.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
No, but they all had that though it was like
it was always like.
Speaker 3 (47:49):
Beaded curtains, kind of like here's the sexy area. Did
you ever rent anything when you got older in the
beaded sexy area? No, my god, we neither.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
Just I just.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
Watched The Cook, the Thief, his wife and her lover
a bunch of times.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
That's a great art house movie.
Speaker 3 (48:07):
I love. I don't know though, it's very sexy and
dirty and on naked body.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
I think Helen Mirren is like covered in rotting meat
completely nude at some point in that film.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Sexy, Yeah, excellent, but does she have shoes on?
Speaker 3 (48:25):
The idea that they just named it what the thing
is is the funniest.
Speaker 5 (48:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
I love it so much and I tried to look
it up and I can't find it. Like I might
not exist, really might just exist in my mind. I
want to ask one last question, do you guys have
a dream guest? And David Lynch r I p would
have been amazing, but do either you have a dream guest?
Speaker 5 (48:44):
I mean, reeves everybody, I say, we do I always
say reeves could happen.
Speaker 4 (48:54):
Could love for that to happen.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
He loves movies. Yeah, he turns out always has.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
I feel like one that I thought would. I was like,
if we had Martin Scorsese on our podcast. I mean,
he's like such a movie lover. That's why I feel
like you would fit in well with our show. But
so he would be a dream guest of mine.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
Goes out into the universe and I'll.
Speaker 5 (49:16):
Appeal to him as a fellow Italian American and I
will let's start talking about you know, Canoli's and other
Italian things, and hopefully he'll come.
Speaker 3 (49:26):
So. Yeah, I watched a documentary forced with my dad
about the Automat in New York City that he was
in and talked very passionately about the automat and what
the automat was like.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
Yeah, it was hilarious.
Speaker 6 (49:40):
Yeah, No, he would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Let's do it. Yeah, that's a good one. We'll get
on that here at exactly right. I do everything we can.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
All right, do you guys have Is there anything I
just want to talk about or plug or anything.
Speaker 5 (49:50):
No, we just really we just really are so thankful
for you both for you know, respecting the vision and
helping us get it going, and we're just so happy
to be back doing film podcasts with exactly right. I mean,
I had such a great experience the first time, and
like when we were talking about ending, you know, I
(50:13):
saw what you did, I was like.
Speaker 6 (50:16):
No, I want to say, don't pull me out of
my dream.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
So I was, you know, like really really excited that
we kind of kept it in the fam, you know,
with Casey and I don't know, I'm just really really
excited about what we can do and we hope that
everybody enjoys it and takes a listen.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
So yeah, I mean it was an easy hell yes,
when we heard the pitch, it was just like fucking
absolutely yeah, I can't wait to see what you guys do.
Speaker 2 (50:40):
And yeah, it's great, it's exciting, it's great.
Speaker 3 (50:43):
I will definitely miss I saw what you did because
as a film historian and a great writer, Millie, you
just would kind of present these the movies that you
and Danielle would talk through. It would be like Danielle
would just be kind of the person who's like, oh,
I just saw this for the first time, and then
you would be you would present the kind of the
other side of like, well, here all the things I
(51:03):
know about this, and it's so deeply interesting to me
because you are so good at that and you've been
doing it for so long.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
But listening to the two of you guys talk.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
And it's much more kind of like up to date
conversational recommendations, what's going on, it's day and date. It's
almost like a little it's like your movie newsletter as
opposed to your movie thesis, which both so valid. But
you guys as a combination is just like so charming
and easy to listen to as a podcast.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
So great, thank you.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (51:33):
One thing I want to pitch is or a plug
I should say, is The Softies. The band the Softies,
they do the theme song to our show, and they're
one of my favorite bands and we're an inspiration to
kind of the vibe of the podcast. So it was
like such a thrill to have them do the theme song.
So if I'm plugging anything. They have a new album,
The Bet I made, you can listen to that. But
(51:53):
they did that.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
That's exciting.
Speaker 3 (51:56):
Yeah, it's a perfect Their theme song is so perfect
and lovely.
