No negativity, no politics. Okay.
Right. All right.
And on my list, there's no horror movies.
So for you people who love horror movies,you won't get it from me.
You love horror movies?I like some of them.
When I was younger, back in the day,I loved Nightmare on Elm Street,
(01:25):
I loved Halloween,
oh no, no, I can't watch them anymore,but I did back then as a teenager.
Yeah, and that stays with me.
I yeah, I don't want those seedsbeing implanted in me right now.
I want to focus on more positive.
I like a good psychological thriller.
Yes, I do courtroom drama.
Yes, you like that.
But I like more dramas, more adventures.
(01:46):
Right?I kind of know that as I've gotten older.
What's the last movie you saw?
Like movie theater you saw?
Oh, it's been a while as a since I didn't.
Yeah, but in the movies,
like, maybe it was a marvel comics
adventure movieor oh, How to Train Your Dragon.
Oh, yeah.
The new I Don't KnowHow to Train Your Dragon movies.
(02:06):
Those are so much fun.
Stream must be streaming now.
Yeah, yeah, well,I like a lot of the animated movies
that have adult themes to them,and I love all the Marvel comic movies.
Spider-Man,Iron Man, that's the kidding me, right?
They have good stories.
Yeah. It'snot just you know, all special effects.
There's really good stories.
And even my wife watch them.
So, yeah, it's pretty cooland pretty cool, right?
(02:28):
Yeah. I knowyou love a lot of the classic stuff, Tom.
My gosh.
Yeah.
I'm I'm going to take you backto the classics.
And I'm hopingsome of you have never heard of it.
Will jot it down and check it out.
And I had someone say to me years agowhen I mentioned a movie and said, choice.
I wasn't even born at that time. Why?
You know, I don't know about it.
(02:49):
And I said I wasn't bornwhen Gone With the wind came out.
I wasn't born when Shakespeare wroteRomeo and Juliet and, you know, so
so we were talking, you know, off,off, off air about this Christmas time.
Right.
What do they play all the time?
Bing Crosby, white Christmas.
Yes. Nat King Cole. Right.
Sinatra a lot of people are not weren'tborn Johnny Mathis,
but they listen to them
(03:10):
because everything oldies new againto a whole new generation.
And it's okay.
It's okay to embrace something new.
And it's really okay to go backand I'll tell you some of the best actors
or actors in general.
They know these old movies.
They do becauseespecially the black and white ones
where the, you know,they work with shadows.
(03:31):
And that just meant,
I don't know, it's just differenthas a different love,
like, like even black and white photois because they're so dramatic. Yes.
I love to see a black and white photobecause it makes everybody look classic.
Yeah, it really does.
The Alfred Hitchcock movies.
Oh, he used that black and white
and his movies were thrillerswithout the gore.
(03:52):
Yeah, you thought about it.
It's like I used to love watching TwilightZone.
Oh, but Rod Serling, because it made youthink it wasn't like in your face, per se.
Yeah. That's. You use your imagination.
Yeah.
I'll never forget the one to serve, man.
Yeah, I'm a bitI remember that I do where they landed
and we find out at the endshe's saying, don't get on the plane.
(04:15):
It's,
there's always a
moral at the end of the showswhen they thought William Shatner
was crazy because of the the thewhat do they call it?
No mercy. Yeah. What are the.
No, I can't remember, but I know for me,Shatner was on Twilight Zone a few times.
Rod Serling really liked him.
Yeah, I remember the one with the,jukebox or something.
(04:35):
Right. Like the song.
But it had a devil's head on it.Yes it did.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
But we're talking movies.
They did make Twilight Zone movies.So just to be fair.
Okay, there was a Twilight Zone moviethat I saw, I think came out in the 80s,
and that's where one of the lead actors,very famous actor, to pass away
or was headed by a helicopter scene,like Vietnam scene.
(04:58):
No, I remember that. Yeah.
I'm so sorry, I can't remember.
Sorry about that, but but, you know, I'm more positive note here.
What's good with John and Joyce now?
So I'll tell you what's goodif you want a really funny movie.
And I saw the play, as a matter of fact,at the Shubert at one time.
Arsenic and Old Kosherarsenic and Old Ice with Cary Grant.
(05:21):
It is so funny.
It's like it's something like you wouldn'texpect to see him in, although he did do
some silly movies, but this one is clever,so I like when it's cleverly done.
And it was really, like you said, outof context in some ways for Cary Grant.
Yeah.
Oh, he's a suave guy, you know. Right.
But he could do anything, you know?
(05:42):
And I think I have thatmaybe in both of my books that I love
what he said, that he was never Cary Grantbecause he was Archibald Leach.
That's his real name.
And it doesn't look like an Archibald.
No, he often does it.
But he was a real Cockney, you know.
You know, British kid.
Tough, tough upbringing.
(06:05):
And then he joinedthe circus, came to America.
He gets kind of discovered,you know, he's got these little roles.
And then they started saying, you know,
he's got like, leading man type qualities.
And so this quote from him is that,you know, I never was Cary Grant, but
I played him long enough so that one daywhen I woke up, I was Cary Grant.
(06:29):
So I always say that to people to emulate
what you want to be,even though you may not feel you're there.
But think about it.
Because whatever you keep thinking about
and doing and talking about,you'll become that good or bad.
You can manifest your whole reality. Good.
Because we talk about the brain
all the time, the way it's wired,it doesn't matter
whether it's the truth or not,it just goes by what you tell it, right?
(06:51):
Repeatedly.And that's what Cary Grant did see.
And that's why I don't want to keepwatching scary movies.
Hahaha.
You don't watch Freddy Krueger over andover again and Nightmare on Elm Street.
No, no, it did have a pretty coolhat, though. I like the fedora.
You know,the movie that freaked me out the most
and I really couldn'twatch the whole thing,
but it had this really, like,visceral effect within me
(07:14):
was silence of the lambs,oh God, with, blah blah blah,
but Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Fosterthat won an Academy Award?
Yes. No, I'm sure it's a marvelous movie.
The way it was done,but there was something about that evil
within him that I know existsin the Ted Bundy of the world
and everything that really creeped me out
(07:38):
were I even to go downstairsalone to do the laundry.
But it's like I,I watched the movie once, was enough
for the acting, actingand the scenes and the lighting between
Anthony Hopkins character and Jodie Fosterwhen they were going back and forth,
and the focus on the eyes.
Great, brilliant and right.
(07:59):
You know, the Hitchcock movie,
the only one that had blood in it,but it was that The Birds?
Well, yeah, thethe birds sing a little bit,
but the one that I still can't watchthe scene is psycho.
Oh, but it's the music.
It's the music with the knife going it.
I know my I'm not watching it,but it's, it was just,
(08:21):
just so beautifully donein a horrific way.
Right.
It's like an oxymoron.
Beautifully done in a horrific way.
But Hitchcock was a genius.
Yeah, in so many ways.
Yes he was.
Yes, there was.
But more thingsthat don't leave me scarred.
And have a great moral ending.
(08:43):
Is usually the Frank Capra.
Oh, sure. Movies. Brilliant.
So I have a few of them here,and that's Mr.
Deeds Goes to Town.
Now, this was an Oscar winner in 1936,
and it was about Longfellow Deeds.
So which played by Gary CooperI love Gary Gary Cooper.
Great.
And he was a great person.
(09:04):
If you read about his his life to him,just another classic actor who
we did a lot of westerns too.
He did a lot of Westerns,Alan Ladd and a lot of these, well,
he was a great personand he had some flaws, but hey, we all do.
We all do for.
Right?
So, but he's a small town residentand Vermont, and he's very happy
with his uncomplicated lifeuntil he inherits a fortune.
(09:28):
And then his life turns upside down
when the news hits him that he has.
He's like the one of the wealthiest menin the world.
Now, you think you make it.A lot of money is always a good thing.
Yeah, well, that's necessarilywhy you can.
This has a great ending to it.
And so watch it.
It takes it takes you through that journeyof what happens
(09:49):
to a person when they really areenjoying their simple life.
And now the whole world knowsyou're tremendously wealthy.
And if you don't haveany emotional maturity
to be able to handle that,that's why so many people that win lotto.
Yeah.
Are these athletes that have these multimillion dollar contracts,
they end up losing it all.
Yes. Because they,they don't have the the foundation
(10:10):
or the right people around them.
All right.
Yeah a lot of timesthe right people around them.
Yeah I remember there was this womanwhen I was living in Florida in 1919.
It was 2013.
And oh gosh, it was one of those dayswhere I played the Powerball in a Publix,
which is the big, you know, oh,this town's down there in Florida, right?
(10:33):
And I woke up and I always checkeda Twitter at that time first,
and somebody wrote, and I only knewthat my Powerball number was number 11.
That's all I remember it.
And it said, oh,the Powerball was won in Florida
and the Powerball number was 11I oh, and for a split second
(10:53):
I thought,oh my God, oh my God, is that me?
Well, here's a story about this.
It was syphilis.
I believe it's pronounced Florida.
It was an older woman
and she lived here,you know, not a great area, almost like
like mobile home style, but,you know, not a great area of Florida.
(11:14):
And she wins the biggest jackpot.
Then to date, which was likeit was maybe over $500 million.
But if you Google that today,
you will find out what happened.
And it's very,very sad how it ripped a family apart
(11:35):
and and where she is today.
So that was the wrong peoplecoming in to manage the money.
Two sons fighting over it.
Not really taking care of her
because she said, I'll, you know, I'm.
I'll leave this with you, but I don't everwant to go into a nursing home.
(11:57):
I want to stay, you know, hereand her life did not end up that way.
And she ended up in mostlyliving in court.
Wow. So, that when you spoke about thatnew money coming in.
Yeah, yeah.
And the motive and intent has to be right.
You know, when you have that money
and and too many people try to say, oh,what's in it for me?
What's in it for me? I mean, nothingwrong with money in itself.
(12:19):
Yeah, it's the love of money and the greed
and everything else that comes into play.
She had a very good heartbecause no one really knew who she was.
And she moved to a gated communitywith her son,
and, and, everyone there in this gated
community were pretty wealthy,so they're not bothering anyone else.
But she would go to a local diner,and they knew it was her
(12:40):
because when she left,everyone's bill was paid.
Wow. So she had the good heart.
But others around her did not.
I love to hear about that.Like over the holidays a lot.
Somebody pays somebody their lay awaywith, just pays off their bills.
They just. God, that would be me.
Yeah. Me too. Horrible digging up.
But getting back to, like, you know,favorite movies again.
(13:02):
Like, my my sweet spot choiceslike the 80s and 90s movies.
I mean, I like what I love Toy Story,I love I love all the Indiana Jones movie.
Oh, I love the Michael Douglas moviesand the Richard Gere movies
and a lot of these kind of like,just really good crime drama thrillers.
They really give me, you know, like KillerRays and Al Pacino and Tom cruise.
(13:25):
Did you follow all the Matrix movie?I did?
Oh, good.
Great. Great movies. Just love them.
But I was watching, I mean, a reallywell-done movie, but kind of freaky.
The devil's advocate.
We can't abuse reason, al Pacino. Oh, yes.
Oh, my.
I mean, justjust think that was like 1997.
Yeah.
Just watching back and forth between thetwo of them at the end of the movie. Yes.
(13:46):
When he finds out that, you know,the devil is his dad.
Yeah.
You know, Keanu Reeves character and,
but yeah, you know, go watch the movieif you haven't already.
I don't want to spoil it for you,but just the interplay.
I think you just spoil.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Sorry about that, but watch it anyway.
But also, like, you know, with Tom cruiseand Jack Nicholson with a few good men,
you can't handle the truth.
Yeah.
(14:07):
One of the great lines of all time. Yes.
Over overreach.
So I love the courtroom dramas.
Right. The drama between all that. Right.
And the courtroom stuff, too.
You know, there's that classic movie12 Angry Men.
Yes, yes, that really just takes placeright in the jury room.
And the whole movie is based just there.
There's not much of a set at all, right?
(14:27):
But it's so heavily character basedthat it's just if you love movies
and you love acting and all that,that is a great one to watch.
Like special effects,they just focus on their facial reactions.
And yes, the dialog black and white.
Yeah. Yep. Tremendous stuff.
Yeah.
And the influence other peoplecould have on each other just right.
(14:49):
But I still love a lot of the
like I like Ghostbusters, I loved, yeah,all the Ghostbusters movies.
And you know,I liked Footloose and Flashdance
and a lot of those musicals, Fast Timesat Ridgemont High back in the 80s and 90s,
you know, and, your Breakfast Club craze,
because the soundtrackswere really good, too.
Oh, yeah.
The soundtrack was back in the 80s, 90s,you know, I just had great movies,
but great music soundtracks, too. Yeah.
(15:11):
So maybe we're jiggling your mindsa little better or thinking,
I gotta watch that again,because you just reminded me
of Simple ways to Patriot Games.
Harrison Ford.
Wow. Andy. Oh. What about that one
great movie?
Here's another one that he was in,and I think, was called Henry.
Henry. That was a good movie.
That was very different for him.
(15:32):
It was very, very different for him.
But that was one of those movieswhere he just kind of fascinated by it.
And the one movieyou remind me of during this time, too,
that the ending really blew me away,and some people
still haven't seen itand don't really know the ending.
Oh. Wait a minute.
So the famous line from the movie is I see
(15:55):
the sixth sense,the sixth sense with Bruce Willis.
So I watched it with Wayne in the movietheater.
We went like, what? Yeah.
And then we went back and watched itagain, knowing the ending.
Right.
So it was even more fascinatingthe second time to say, oh,
(16:16):
and I'dalso like don't look into the light.
Poltergeist.
That's a great movie.
That's one of my favorite.
I had to say, like ghost movies.
I thought that was so, so well done.
But show Beth Williams.
Yeah. JoBethWilliams and a great Craig Nelson.
Yeah. Wow.
And CraigNelson was recently in that movie
(16:36):
I was talking about,The Devil's Advocate two.
He played the movie as well.
Yeah, he played coach for a year.He was here, so, so.
Oh, that's so good.
But I'm going to.
Oh, wow.
Maybe I'll watch Carrie Ann.
But, you know, it's so sad to say that,you know,
she died too young, and so didthe other girl who played the daughter.
I know, which made me.
(16:57):
Makes you kind of sad
when you watch a lot of these movies nowand you find out that a lot of these,
they were very young at the time,they're not with us anymore.
You realize how precious life is.
Scared me a little bit because I thoughtthe ghost attached themselves to them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No. Now it's just like a coincidence.
Sure, maybe.
But we were talking about classic movies
(17:17):
and the one movie when I was young.
It just never.
It was too long.
I didn't want to watch it.
Maybe some of you felt this way, too.
It's a Wonderful Life now.
It is such a classic.
But when I got older,I watched it from beginning to end
and it's like, wow, what a story!
(17:40):
With age comes wisdom. What a story.
So I got just a little backstory on thiswhen it was approaching
its 50th anniversary,I wanted to do, a tribute to it.
So I contacted Republic Pictureswho had now had the rights to it.
And this is when it became a publicdomain. Yeah.
(18:02):
And I met with them in New York,and I came with
a, a board game
and that I had a prototypemade up and a cookbook
that I wrote, like, what would they beeating and, like, at Mr.
Gower's house or Mr.. You know, whatever.
Oh, and I had all these recipes made up.
(18:23):
I had like, all kinds of, you know, books.
The cookbooks were actually completedand they loved it.
They loved it.
I thought this was it.
I mean, not only like,it wasn't for the money, it was for.
I'm like, involved with my favorite movie.
(18:43):
And then guess what happened?
Which I don't blame them.
I had to let go of all this.
The one surviving member.
Zuzu. Zuzu?
The little girl who plays Suzu.
I can't remember her name right now.
Sorry, but they gave it to her
and all of a sudden Zuzu had the idea ofdoing a board game in a cookbook.
(19:05):
Oh geez.
But you know.
But you were, you know, giventhe great stuff happens, right? Yeah.
Stuff happened, so I've happened. But.
But that's a classic. Watch it.
I really watch it.
The acting is tremendous by Jimmy Stewartand Donna Reed.
Donna Reed remember herTV show? Yes. Yeah.
But another one of my favorites is up.
(19:25):
Yeah. This animated movie.
Did it not touch your office?
Touched your heart in every single way.
But as far as it really touched my heart.
And I'm sure you, Joyce, because we bothcan relate to losing a loved one. Yes.
And when I saw that part, I lost it.
Yeah, yeah, I lost it, you know?
So it makes me terribleif they think about it.
(19:46):
Yeah. Me too.
But, but,but there was a lot of joy in that movie
as to just honoring those who went beforeus, by the way we live our lives and.
Yeah, yeah, but every time I watchthat, it just it gets me.
Well that's what I mean about movies.
It evokes a lot of emotionbut a lot of hope.
(20:07):
And then knowing that moviescapture all our emotions.
Yeah. We're not alone.
We all go through the upsand downs and lives.
And that's why it's so importantto let people know,
hey, listen,I know how you feel and be there for them.
Yes, because you know how they feel.
We do. We do.
But but getting back to, you know, to to,you know, fun stuff again.
(20:28):
I mean, I loved a lot of those
even some of the 70s stuff,you know, American Graffiti
because, you know, it was music.Oh yeah. And it was light.
It was fun.
You kind of like, And Happy Days was kindof a takeoff of American Graffiti.
That's terrific about it.
And of course, is, you know, 2025being the 50th anniversary of
George was in June,June, June, June, June.
(20:49):
Yeah.
You know, the tourist industrydidn't like that
when it came out in the summer 75because nobody was swimming.
But, you know, seeing I didn'twatch the 50th anniversary.
I thought, you know,once or twice was enough, you know.
No, I don't need to see that now.
Yeah. The first one was the best one.
It was, it was. Yeah, yeah.
So I'm going to take you back nowto 1942, 1942.
(21:11):
This is a movie that maybe,maybe many of you haven't seen,
or you saw the nameand you didn't know what it was about,
but it was a saying thatmy mother used to say, and I didn't know.
And but she meant to tell.
I really watched the movie.
It would be likeif someone stayed at your house too long.
Company was too long.
She would say, oh,it's like the man who came to dinner.
(21:34):
And I thought, oh, does that meanwhen the actor Monty Woolley,
Monty Woolley,
who played that part,the interesting thing about Monty,
Monty Woolley could Google himbecause he was a professor at Yale.
Exactly. Brilliant, right?
He didn't start acting till later in life.
And he actually did the,
(21:56):
the playfirst for the man who came to dinner,
and they brought him over to the screenand boy, does it work.
Now, a lot of the referencesthere are in that time.
So when EleanorRoosevelt calls the house or
and anything like that, he,he was the radio star.
He was like a world wide radio star.
(22:21):
And who,
the people, you know, like I said,
even the presidents knew him, plural.
And our Roosevelt being FDR, his wife, forsome who may not remember that far back,
but, well, read about it, because there's a lot
I didn't remember about about FDRuntil now.
(22:42):
It really was like, I don't know,I just watched documentary on PBS,
so I learned even more about whata fantastic person he was.
And again, flaws, yes.
But what he did for the countrywith Social Security
and all of that and having polio where,you know, that's back in the day where you
(23:06):
you could get away without the publicreally knowing how bad you were.
Otherwise it wouldn't vote for youbecause, you know, since
Kennedy, I guess they sort of voting onlooks and things like that,
but they started judging people,I should say.
But, good not to be judgedand just hear what you did.
A sidebar with that to the folkswho watched the,
(23:26):
debate with John F Kennedyand Richard Nixon thought Kennedy won
the people who listened to iton the radio.
But Nixon.
Nixon won. Yeah. That's something. Yeah.
And yeah, optics kept JFK.
You know, he had looksyou know the charisma.
He he did he did.
So the but the man who came to dinner,
the dialog is so fastand so witty and so sharp.
(23:50):
It's tough to sayyou have to watch it again.
Oh, I have written down things,like mom to Willie as.
Who did you play?Sheridan Whiteside? Sure.
He just an
incredible, incredible characterthat he played.
And the ending is just so fun.
The whole movie makes me laugh.
(24:11):
It's my feel good movie.
If I want to feel good,I'm going to I'm going to find this.
And they usually play it at Christmas timeas the rapid fire delivery.
Like it reminds me of Robin Williams.
Yes, I was so hard to keep upwith that man.
The way his brain worked, the way he wiredBilly Crystal, right?
Oh, those people just so fast.
Yeah. So they were great friends.
(24:31):
They were really good friends. Yeah,but my all time favorite movie.
Joyce. Yes.
Tell me you know, is this really heaven?
No. It's Iowa.
Oh. If you build it,
they will come giant fieldof field of dreams.
I fall in love. That movie.
It's like our no.
Speak about it more because I rememberMichael Bolton loving that movie.
(24:53):
Also,I watch it, and then here we go again.
I'm going to I think aboutwhen he was playing ball with his dad.
That's. Yeah.
It's nice that men have them there
because my dad will workreally hard, real blue collar guy.
Made sure all of us kids have whateverwe need it.
Again, lots of flaws, like we all have,but I love them dearly.
I honor him, but he would come home aftera long day working for the UI company.
(25:17):
He was he was a, you know, a guythat worked up on the wires,
you know, a lineman.And he would play ball with me.
And you see, let's get outand you get them.
And I just.
I was a pitcher in baseball, and we'd, And he was tired,
but he took 15 to 20 minutes.
You can relate to that. Yeah.
So when I see it, my wifegoes, okay, here we go.
Here comes the tissue box again.
And as I get older,I get more and more emotional.
(25:40):
Yeah, I find that too, because you realizethat we're not here forever.
We're not here for.
And in these moments means so much.
Each moment.
Each moment is love.
I say let him know, guys.
Let you know the movie that I cry outbecause reminds me of my grandparents.
Because my grandparents came from Austriaand they had the accent
(26:01):
is I remember mama, with Irene Dunne,and I haven't heard that name.
Yeah, yeah, it was Irene Dunne.
It was just really good story.
It's good storytellingand about a family working together
and workinghard to make things happen for their kids.
And, just a really good, good story there.
(26:24):
Again, through the holidays, you'll seeTCM running Meet Me in Saint Louis.
Oh, that which I love.
I see the Bishop's wife.
I've seen the play, you know, to,you know, meet me in Saint Louis.

And the music. Yes. Fabulous.
The bell ringing.
And Judy Garland was great in that movie.
(26:44):
Super talent.
Everyone was. But it's a good story. It's.
I don't even think of itas a musical, per se,
because there was so much greatstorytelling in between, right.
With the grandfather.
And the drama was really, really good.
You know, musicin the background there. Right.
But but I love the a lot of the,like even the Tommy Lee Jones movies.
I was always a big fan of his stuff,you know, like, when he did The Fugitive,
(27:07):
The Fugitive, Harrison Fordremake of that, that TV series.
Yeah. And there are certain shows.
What a great actor,Tommy Lee Jones really fantastic.
And I just loved watching, you know,come to America with Eddie Murphy.
Yeah.
And some of the, the movies with Nick Nolte,
you know, back, back in the 80sthat, like the Beverly Hills Cop movies
and some of those movies, it just made youyou want to feel good, right?
(27:30):
And the soundtracks are great, and it'sjust fun interplay between the actors.
Yes. I just want to give a shout outto Wayne's daughter, my stepdaughter.

Right. All right.
And on my list, there's no horror movies.
So for you people who love horror movies,you won't get it from me.
You love horror movies?I like some of them.
When I was younger, back in the day,I loved Nightmare on Elm Street,
(01:25):
I loved Halloween,
oh no, no, I can't watch them anymore,but I did back then as a teenager.
Yeah, and that stays with me.
I yeah, I don't want those seedsbeing implanted in me right now.
I want to focus on more positive.
I like a good psychological thriller.
Yes, I do courtroom drama.
Yes, you like that.
But I like more dramas, more adventures.
(01:46):
Right?I kind of know that as I've gotten older.
What's the last movie you saw?
Like movie theater you saw?
Oh, it's been a while as a since I didn't.
Yeah, but in the movies,
like, maybe it was a marvel comics
adventure movieor oh, How to Train Your Dragon.
Oh, yeah.
The new I Don't KnowHow to Train Your Dragon movies.
(02:06):
Those are so much fun.
Stream must be streaming now.
Yeah, yeah, well,I like a lot of the animated movies
that have adult themes to them,and I love all the Marvel comic movies.
Spider-Man,Iron Man, that's the kidding me, right?
They have good stories.
Yeah. It'snot just you know, all special effects.
There's really good stories.
And even my wife watch them.
So, yeah, it's pretty cooland pretty cool, right?
(02:28):
Yeah. I knowyou love a lot of the classic stuff, Tom.
My gosh.
Yeah.
I'm I'm going to take you backto the classics.
And I'm hopingsome of you have never heard of it.
Will jot it down and check it out.
And I had someone say to me years agowhen I mentioned a movie and said, choice.
I wasn't even born at that time. Why?
You know, I don't know about it.
(02:49):
And I said I wasn't bornwhen Gone With the wind came out.
I wasn't born when Shakespeare wroteRomeo and Juliet and, you know, so
so we were talking, you know, off,off, off air about this Christmas time.
Right.
What do they play all the time?
Bing Crosby, white Christmas.
Yes. Nat King Cole. Right.
Sinatra a lot of people are not weren'tborn Johnny Mathis,
but they listen to them
(03:10):
because everything oldies new againto a whole new generation.
And it's okay.
It's okay to embrace something new.
And it's really okay to go backand I'll tell you some of the best actors
or actors in general.
They know these old movies.
They do becauseespecially the black and white ones
where the, you know,they work with shadows.
(03:31):
And that just meant,
I don't know, it's just differenthas a different love,
like, like even black and white photois because they're so dramatic. Yes.
I love to see a black and white photobecause it makes everybody look classic.
Yeah, it really does.
The Alfred Hitchcock movies.
Oh, he used that black and white
and his movies were thrillerswithout the gore.
(03:52):
Yeah, you thought about it.
It's like I used to love watching TwilightZone.
Oh, but Rod Serling, because it made youthink it wasn't like in your face, per se.
Yeah. That's. You use your imagination.
Yeah.
I'll never forget the one to serve, man.
Yeah, I'm a bitI remember that I do where they landed
and we find out at the endshe's saying, don't get on the plane.
(04:15):
It's,
there's always a
moral at the end of the showswhen they thought William Shatner
was crazy because of the the thewhat do they call it?
No mercy. Yeah. What are the.
No, I can't remember, but I know for me,Shatner was on Twilight Zone a few times.
Rod Serling really liked him.
Yeah, I remember the one with the,jukebox or something.
(04:35):
Right. Like the song.
But it had a devil's head on it.Yes it did.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
But we're talking movies.
They did make Twilight Zone movies.So just to be fair.
Okay, there was a Twilight Zone moviethat I saw, I think came out in the 80s,
and that's where one of the lead actors,very famous actor, to pass away
or was headed by a helicopter scene,like Vietnam scene.
(04:58):
No, I remember that. Yeah.
I'm so sorry, I can't remember.
Sorry about that, but but, you know, I'm more positive note here.
What's good with John and Joyce now?
So I'll tell you what's goodif you want a really funny movie.
And I saw the play, as a matter of fact,at the Shubert at one time.
Arsenic and Old Kosherarsenic and Old Ice with Cary Grant.
(05:21):
It is so funny.
It's like it's something like you wouldn'texpect to see him in, although he did do
some silly movies, but this one is clever,so I like when it's cleverly done.
And it was really, like you said, outof context in some ways for Cary Grant.
Yeah.
Oh, he's a suave guy, you know. Right.
But he could do anything, you know?
(05:42):
And I think I have thatmaybe in both of my books that I love
what he said, that he was never Cary Grantbecause he was Archibald Leach.
That's his real name.
And it doesn't look like an Archibald.
No, he often does it.
But he was a real Cockney, you know.
You know, British kid.
Tough, tough upbringing.
(06:05):
And then he joinedthe circus, came to America.
He gets kind of discovered,you know, he's got these little roles.
And then they started saying, you know,
he's got like, leading man type qualities.
And so this quote from him is that,you know, I never was Cary Grant, but
I played him long enough so that one daywhen I woke up, I was Cary Grant.
(06:29):
So I always say that to people to emulate
what you want to be,even though you may not feel you're there.
But think about it.
Because whatever you keep thinking about
and doing and talking about,you'll become that good or bad.
You can manifest your whole reality. Good.
Because we talk about the brain
all the time, the way it's wired,it doesn't matter
whether it's the truth or not,it just goes by what you tell it, right?
(06:51):
Repeatedly.And that's what Cary Grant did see.
And that's why I don't want to keepwatching scary movies.
Hahaha.
You don't watch Freddy Krueger over andover again and Nightmare on Elm Street.
No, no, it did have a pretty coolhat, though. I like the fedora.
You know,the movie that freaked me out the most
and I really couldn'twatch the whole thing,
but it had this really, like,visceral effect within me
(07:14):
was silence of the lambs,oh God, with, blah blah blah,
but Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Fosterthat won an Academy Award?
Yes. No, I'm sure it's a marvelous movie.
The way it was done,but there was something about that evil
within him that I know existsin the Ted Bundy of the world
and everything that really creeped me out
(07:38):
were I even to go downstairsalone to do the laundry.
But it's like I,I watched the movie once, was enough
for the acting, actingand the scenes and the lighting between
Anthony Hopkins character and Jodie Fosterwhen they were going back and forth,
and the focus on the eyes.
Great, brilliant and right.
(07:59):
You know, the Hitchcock movie,
the only one that had blood in it,but it was that The Birds?
Well, yeah, thethe birds sing a little bit,
but the one that I still can't watchthe scene is psycho.
Oh, but it's the music.
It's the music with the knife going it.
I know my I'm not watching it,but it's, it was just,
(08:21):
just so beautifully donein a horrific way.
Right.
It's like an oxymoron.
Beautifully done in a horrific way.
But Hitchcock was a genius.
Yeah, in so many ways.
Yes he was.
Yes, there was.
But more thingsthat don't leave me scarred.
And have a great moral ending.
(08:43):
Is usually the Frank Capra.
Oh, sure. Movies. Brilliant.
So I have a few of them here,and that's Mr.
Deeds Goes to Town.
Now, this was an Oscar winner in 1936,
and it was about Longfellow Deeds.
So which played by Gary CooperI love Gary Gary Cooper.
Great.
And he was a great person.
(09:04):
If you read about his his life to him,just another classic actor who
we did a lot of westerns too.
He did a lot of Westerns,Alan Ladd and a lot of these, well,
he was a great personand he had some flaws, but hey, we all do.
We all do for.
Right?
So, but he's a small town residentand Vermont, and he's very happy
with his uncomplicated lifeuntil he inherits a fortune.
(09:28):
And then his life turns upside down
when the news hits him that he has.
He's like the one of the wealthiest menin the world.
Now, you think you make it.A lot of money is always a good thing.
Yeah, well, that's necessarilywhy you can.
This has a great ending to it.
And so watch it.
It takes it takes you through that journeyof what happens
(09:49):
to a person when they really areenjoying their simple life.
And now the whole world knowsyou're tremendously wealthy.
And if you don't haveany emotional maturity
to be able to handle that,that's why so many people that win lotto.
Yeah.
Are these athletes that have these multimillion dollar contracts,
they end up losing it all.
Yes. Because they,they don't have the the foundation
(10:10):
or the right people around them.
All right.
Yeah a lot of timesthe right people around them.
Yeah I remember there was this womanwhen I was living in Florida in 1919.
It was 2013.
And oh gosh, it was one of those dayswhere I played the Powerball in a Publix,
which is the big, you know, oh,this town's down there in Florida, right?
(10:33):
And I woke up and I always checkeda Twitter at that time first,
and somebody wrote, and I only knewthat my Powerball number was number 11.
That's all I remember it.
And it said, oh,the Powerball was won in Florida
and the Powerball number was 11I oh, and for a split second
(10:53):
I thought,oh my God, oh my God, is that me?
Well, here's a story about this.
It was syphilis.
I believe it's pronounced Florida.
It was an older woman
and she lived here,you know, not a great area, almost like
like mobile home style, but,you know, not a great area of Florida.
(11:14):
And she wins the biggest jackpot.
Then to date, which was likeit was maybe over $500 million.
But if you Google that today,
you will find out what happened.
And it's very,very sad how it ripped a family apart
(11:35):
and and where she is today.
So that was the wrong peoplecoming in to manage the money.
Two sons fighting over it.
Not really taking care of her
because she said, I'll, you know, I'm.
I'll leave this with you, but I don't everwant to go into a nursing home.
(11:57):
I want to stay, you know, hereand her life did not end up that way.
And she ended up in mostlyliving in court.
Wow. So, that when you spoke about thatnew money coming in.
Yeah, yeah.
And the motive and intent has to be right.
You know, when you have that money
and and too many people try to say, oh,what's in it for me?
What's in it for me? I mean, nothingwrong with money in itself.
(12:19):
Yeah, it's the love of money and the greed
and everything else that comes into play.
She had a very good heartbecause no one really knew who she was.
And she moved to a gated communitywith her son,
and, and, everyone there in this gated
community were pretty wealthy,so they're not bothering anyone else.
But she would go to a local diner,and they knew it was her
(12:40):
because when she left,everyone's bill was paid.
Wow. So she had the good heart.
But others around her did not.
I love to hear about that.Like over the holidays a lot.
Somebody pays somebody their lay awaywith, just pays off their bills.
They just. God, that would be me.
Yeah. Me too. Horrible digging up.
But getting back to, like, you know,favorite movies again.
(13:02):
Like, my my sweet spot choiceslike the 80s and 90s movies.
I mean, I like what I love Toy Story,I love I love all the Indiana Jones movie.
Oh, I love the Michael Douglas moviesand the Richard Gere movies
and a lot of these kind of like,just really good crime drama thrillers.
They really give me, you know, like KillerRays and Al Pacino and Tom cruise.
(13:25):
Did you follow all the Matrix movie?I did?
Oh, good.
Great. Great movies. Just love them.
But I was watching, I mean, a reallywell-done movie, but kind of freaky.
The devil's advocate.
We can't abuse reason, al Pacino. Oh, yes.
Oh, my.
I mean, justjust think that was like 1997.
Yeah.
Just watching back and forth between thetwo of them at the end of the movie. Yes.
(13:46):
When he finds out that, you know,the devil is his dad.
Yeah.
You know, Keanu Reeves character and,
but yeah, you know, go watch the movieif you haven't already.
I don't want to spoil it for you,but just the interplay.
I think you just spoil.
Yeah, I guess I did.
Sorry about that, but watch it anyway.
But also, like, you know, with Tom cruiseand Jack Nicholson with a few good men,
you can't handle the truth.
Yeah.
(14:07):
One of the great lines of all time. Yes.
Over overreach.
So I love the courtroom dramas.
Right. The drama between all that. Right.
And the courtroom stuff, too.
You know, there's that classic movie12 Angry Men.
Yes, yes, that really just takes placeright in the jury room.
And the whole movie is based just there.
There's not much of a set at all, right?
(14:27):
But it's so heavily character basedthat it's just if you love movies
and you love acting and all that,that is a great one to watch.
Like special effects,they just focus on their facial reactions.
And yes, the dialog black and white.
Yeah. Yep. Tremendous stuff.
Yeah.
And the influence other peoplecould have on each other just right.
(14:49):
But I still love a lot of the
like I like Ghostbusters, I loved, yeah,all the Ghostbusters movies.
And you know,I liked Footloose and Flashdance
and a lot of those musicals, Fast Timesat Ridgemont High back in the 80s and 90s,
you know, and, your Breakfast Club craze,
because the soundtrackswere really good, too.
Oh, yeah.
The soundtrack was back in the 80s, 90s,you know, I just had great movies,
but great music soundtracks, too. Yeah.
(15:11):
So maybe we're jiggling your mindsa little better or thinking,
I gotta watch that again,because you just reminded me
of Simple ways to Patriot Games.
Harrison Ford.
Wow. Andy. Oh. What about that one
great movie?
Here's another one that he was in,and I think, was called Henry.
Henry. That was a good movie.
That was very different for him.
(15:32):
It was very, very different for him.
But that was one of those movieswhere he just kind of fascinated by it.
And the one movieyou remind me of during this time, too,
that the ending really blew me away,and some people
still haven't seen itand don't really know the ending.
Oh. Wait a minute.
So the famous line from the movie is I see
(15:55):
the sixth sense,the sixth sense with Bruce Willis.
So I watched it with Wayne in the movietheater.
We went like, what? Yeah.
And then we went back and watched itagain, knowing the ending.
Right.
So it was even more fascinatingthe second time to say, oh,
(16:16):
and I'dalso like don't look into the light.
Poltergeist.
That's a great movie.
That's one of my favorite.
I had to say, like ghost movies.
I thought that was so, so well done.
But show Beth Williams.
Yeah. JoBethWilliams and a great Craig Nelson.
Yeah. Wow.
And CraigNelson was recently in that movie
(16:36):
I was talking about,The Devil's Advocate two.
He played the movie as well.
Yeah, he played coach for a year.He was here, so, so.
Oh, that's so good.
But I'm going to.
Oh, wow.
Maybe I'll watch Carrie Ann.
But, you know, it's so sad to say that,you know,
she died too young, and so didthe other girl who played the daughter.
I know, which made me.
(16:57):
Makes you kind of sad
when you watch a lot of these movies nowand you find out that a lot of these,
they were very young at the time,they're not with us anymore.
You realize how precious life is.
Scared me a little bit because I thoughtthe ghost attached themselves to them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No. Now it's just like a coincidence.
Sure, maybe.
But we were talking about classic movies
(17:17):
and the one movie when I was young.
It just never.
It was too long.
I didn't want to watch it.
Maybe some of you felt this way, too.
It's a Wonderful Life now.
It is such a classic.
But when I got older,I watched it from beginning to end
and it's like, wow, what a story!
(17:40):
With age comes wisdom. What a story.
So I got just a little backstory on thiswhen it was approaching
its 50th anniversary,I wanted to do, a tribute to it.
So I contacted Republic Pictureswho had now had the rights to it.
And this is when it became a publicdomain. Yeah.
(18:02):
And I met with them in New York,and I came with
a, a board game
and that I had a prototypemade up and a cookbook
that I wrote, like, what would they beeating and, like, at Mr.
Gower's house or Mr.. You know, whatever.
Oh, and I had all these recipes made up.
(18:23):
I had like, all kinds of, you know, books.
The cookbooks were actually completedand they loved it.
They loved it.
I thought this was it.
I mean, not only like,it wasn't for the money, it was for.
I'm like, involved with my favorite movie.
(18:43):
And then guess what happened?
Which I don't blame them.
I had to let go of all this.
The one surviving member.
Zuzu. Zuzu?
The little girl who plays Suzu.
I can't remember her name right now.
Sorry, but they gave it to her
and all of a sudden Zuzu had the idea ofdoing a board game in a cookbook.
(19:05):
Oh geez.
But you know.
But you were, you know, giventhe great stuff happens, right? Yeah.
Stuff happened, so I've happened. But.
But that's a classic. Watch it.
I really watch it.
The acting is tremendous by Jimmy Stewartand Donna Reed.
Donna Reed remember herTV show? Yes. Yeah.
But another one of my favorites is up.
(19:25):
Yeah. This animated movie.
Did it not touch your office?
Touched your heart in every single way.
But as far as it really touched my heart.
And I'm sure you, Joyce, because we bothcan relate to losing a loved one. Yes.
And when I saw that part, I lost it.
Yeah, yeah, I lost it, you know?
So it makes me terribleif they think about it.
(19:46):
Yeah. Me too.
But, but,but there was a lot of joy in that movie
as to just honoring those who went beforeus, by the way we live our lives and.
Yeah, yeah, but every time I watchthat, it just it gets me.
Well that's what I mean about movies.
It evokes a lot of emotionbut a lot of hope.
(20:07):
And then knowing that moviescapture all our emotions.
Yeah. We're not alone.
We all go through the upsand downs and lives.
And that's why it's so importantto let people know,
hey, listen,I know how you feel and be there for them.
Yes, because you know how they feel.
We do. We do.
But but getting back to, you know, to to,you know, fun stuff again.
(20:28):
I mean, I loved a lot of those
even some of the 70s stuff,you know, American Graffiti
because, you know, it was music.Oh yeah. And it was light.
It was fun.
You kind of like, And Happy Days was kindof a takeoff of American Graffiti.
That's terrific about it.
And of course, is, you know, 2025being the 50th anniversary of
George was in June,June, June, June, June.
(20:49):
Yeah.
You know, the tourist industrydidn't like that
when it came out in the summer 75because nobody was swimming.
But, you know, seeing I didn'twatch the 50th anniversary.
I thought, you know,once or twice was enough, you know.
No, I don't need to see that now.
Yeah. The first one was the best one.
It was, it was. Yeah, yeah.
So I'm going to take you back nowto 1942, 1942.
(21:11):
This is a movie that maybe,maybe many of you haven't seen,
or you saw the nameand you didn't know what it was about,
but it was a saying thatmy mother used to say, and I didn't know.
And but she meant to tell.
I really watched the movie.
It would be likeif someone stayed at your house too long.
Company was too long.
She would say, oh,it's like the man who came to dinner.
(21:34):
And I thought, oh, does that meanwhen the actor Monty Woolley,
Monty Woolley,
who played that part,the interesting thing about Monty,
Monty Woolley could Google himbecause he was a professor at Yale.
Exactly. Brilliant, right?
He didn't start acting till later in life.
And he actually did the,
(21:56):
the playfirst for the man who came to dinner,
and they brought him over to the screenand boy, does it work.
Now, a lot of the referencesthere are in that time.
So when EleanorRoosevelt calls the house or
and anything like that, he,he was the radio star.
He was like a world wide radio star.
(22:21):
And who,
the people, you know, like I said,
even the presidents knew him, plural.
And our Roosevelt being FDR, his wife, forsome who may not remember that far back,
but, well, read about it, because there's a lot
I didn't remember about about FDRuntil now.
(22:42):
It really was like, I don't know,I just watched documentary on PBS,
so I learned even more about whata fantastic person he was.
And again, flaws, yes.
But what he did for the countrywith Social Security
and all of that and having polio where,you know, that's back in the day where you
(23:06):
you could get away without the publicreally knowing how bad you were.
Otherwise it wouldn't vote for youbecause, you know, since
Kennedy, I guess they sort of voting onlooks and things like that,
but they started judging people,I should say.
But, good not to be judgedand just hear what you did.
A sidebar with that to the folkswho watched the,
(23:26):
debate with John F Kennedyand Richard Nixon thought Kennedy won
the people who listened to iton the radio.
But Nixon.
Nixon won. Yeah. That's something. Yeah.
And yeah, optics kept JFK.
You know, he had looksyou know the charisma.
He he did he did.
So the but the man who came to dinner,
the dialog is so fastand so witty and so sharp.
