a movie

[raj] (00:28):

out

[raj] (00:44):
funeral home and there is a fight scenes but they don't seem to doesn't seem
like there was any stunt double they seem to be very diable to film and
i would i would imagine that like for most film makers especially the spire

[keith] (00:57):
i i

[raj] (00:57):
ones like a movie like good fellows the godfather those could be

[keith] (01:02):

heir favorite films and they deserve to be their great

[keith] (01:05):
at

[raj] (01:06):
but a movie like clerks

[keith] (01:07):
i

[raj] (01:09):
i feel it's just more inspiration for like an inspired maker it's like i can
make a movie like that i can write a screen play like that i can

[keith] (01:18):
i can

[raj] (01:19):
act

[keith] (01:19):
act

[raj] (01:19):
in a movie like that even though

[keith] (01:21):
though

[raj] (01:21):
that the last part would be a stretch acting is actually pretty hard and so
that's

[keith] (01:25):
that's

[raj] (01:25):
why i love this movie because it's just is like you know what if you

[raj] (02:41):
oh

[keith] (02:41):

[raj] (02:47):
yes

[keith] (02:48):
oh man

[raj] (02:48):
oh

[keith] (02:49):

oh

[keith] (02:52):
i didn't care about the film green or the black and white

[raj] (02:55):
yah oh

[keith] (02:56):
or the crudity honestly that is how people spoke i live near

[raj] (03:00):
oh

new jersey i know what it's like but to me it felt like somebody was
speaking my

[raj] (03:08):
yeah

[keith] (03:08):
language really i mean i have had deep star wars conversations about the most ridiculous
mondaine

[raj] (03:17):
yeah

[keith] (03:17):
things

[raj] (03:18):
yah

[keith] (03:19):
and here's these people

[raj] (03:21):
h

[keith] (03:21):
literally

[raj] (03:21):
oh

[keith] (03:21):
having the same questions but also doing it in a in a way that just
seemed

[raj] (03:28):
a

[keith] (03:28):
natural and i had been a clerk i was a clerk technically at the time
i worked at a photo story i was at the time

[raj] (03:35):
my

[keith] (03:35):
of my last summer that was selling computers for comp say now everybody has customers
everybody knows the general public just sucks you know but that's part

[raj] (03:46):
no

[keith] (03:46):
of the growing up process i

[raj] (03:48):
oh

[keith] (03:48):
think like you know i have those jobs you learn about people you got to
have in personal skills or whatever

[raj] (03:54):
oh

[keith] (03:54):
but like there's never going to

[raj] (03:55):
yes

[keith] (03:55):
be a great day or a not crappy day like this life is life and

[raj] (04:00):
oh

[keith] (04:00):
people are people and you keep your eyes open i remember the individual

[raj] (04:04):
yeah

[keith] (04:04):
customers with their isms that would bother me at the photo store you know i
want reprints where this is out of focus you know ike just stupid things that
you couldn't change you know like you have and these guys just had it and
i knew i didn't recognize anybody but i didn't

[raj] (04:20):
oh

[keith] (04:20):
care i was like these people

[raj] (04:22):
oh

[keith] (04:22):
have a role and it's really i feel like i just a feeling that you
know like this i didn't care there was one location with two locations you know
like it didn't

[raj] (04:33):
yeah

[keith] (04:33):
matter if you've got a good story and good dialogue

[raj] (04:37):
a

[keith] (04:38):
you're going

[raj] (04:38):
incredible

[keith] (04:38):
to be

[raj] (04:38):
dialogue

[keith] (04:39):
in a good spot you know he's not quinton tarrantino or whatever that quntnterantino had
a lot of money to

[raj] (04:44):
yeah

[keith] (04:44):
spend on his movies but tarantia had incredible dialogue and characters

[raj] (04:47):
yeah oh

[keith] (04:48):
and i know kevin it was a big fan of slackers and that was his
biggest

[raj] (04:52):
ye

[keith] (04:52):
inspiration for this movie and he was like i can do i have dialogue you
know and i know actual people he didn't create most of these characters he knew
jason news from a friend of a friend and he thought he was

[raj] (05:05):
oh

[keith] (05:05):
a weird funny kid he was eighteen at the time and they decided to go
him and his friends who new j a new kevin they wanted to go to
this comic book shop in new york city and they wanted to bring j along
and kevin is like what are you doing i'm not transporting a kid over state
lines you know like what is this who is this you know but they became

(05:29):
friends and j

[raj] (05:29):
oh

[keith] (05:29):
just had this dense to him and he didn't he was himself basically for the
movie

[raj] (05:36):
oh

[keith] (05:37):
and uh kevin smith had told him somebody should put you in a movie and
then did

[raj] (05:41):
yeah

[keith] (05:41):
it himself

[raj] (05:44):
yeah

[keith] (05:44):
it was just a

[raj] (05:45):
oh

[keith] (05:46):
it's an incredible story of no budget

[raj] (05:49):
oh

[keith] (05:50):
and people helping out and no sleep

[raj] (05:52):
oh

[keith] (05:53):
i know we can get into all the production parts of it but you know
i really liked the the fact that it's a like dante's

[raj] (06:03):
yeah

[keith] (06:04):
inferno it's a it's basically like that you know there's the nine

[raj] (06:09):
oh

[keith] (06:09):
parts of the dante's inferno there are nine sections of clerks you know with those
titles

[raj] (06:16):
ah

[keith] (06:16):
and i got to tell you i felt really embarrassed that day on that first
watch that i didn't have a dictionary in front of me i didn't i didn't
i didn't even know half words of the

[raj] (06:24):
on the title car

[keith] (06:25):
on the

[raj] (06:25):
i

[keith] (06:25):
title

[raj] (06:25):
just cover

[keith] (06:25):
so like this is something i have to find out what is purgation what is
you know

[raj] (06:30):
yeah

[keith] (06:30):
i had of the anoulement but you know like like already i'm fascinated because you're
talking on my level and also talking

[raj] (06:36):
i

[keith] (06:36):
above my level

[raj] (06:37):
yeah

[keith] (06:38):
and

[raj] (06:38):
but you can still enjoy it though even if you don't understand

[keith] (06:40):
yeah

[raj] (06:41):
he stuff that's going over your head

[keith] (06:44):
uh the language sure it's not but

[raj] (06:47):
yeah

[keith] (06:48):
it's accurate for the period and the people

[raj] (06:51):
yep

[keith] (06:51):
ah it's harsh i know that harvey winesten the first time he was given a
copy of this they eventually put it out m max but he didn't get ten
minutes in he was like this is stupid and the language is too much pass
but it was his staff that kept watching when

[raj] (07:10):
oh

[keith] (07:10):
they finished they were like dude you gotta like go back go back and watch
the whole thing

[raj] (07:16):
oh

[keith] (07:17):
and he did

[raj] (07:18):
yeah

[keith] (07:18):
and then he called kevin smith and

[raj] (07:19):
yeah

[keith] (07:19):
he's like we're going to make this thing we're goin actually gonna put it in
theaters

[raj] (07:23):
oh

[keith] (07:23):
and they actually gave him a little bit of budget for music

[raj] (07:26):
yeah

[keith] (07:26):
that actually outstripped the

[raj] (07:27):
oh

[keith] (07:28):
budget for the entire movie itself

[raj] (07:30):
yeah

[keith] (07:30):
just for some sound track from

[raj] (07:32):
yeah

[keith] (07:32):
people we had heard of

[raj] (07:35):
and

[keith] (07:35):
head

[raj] (07:35):
when you think of the black and white so i

[keith] (07:39):
i

[raj] (07:39):
love old movies so like if there's a black and white movie i'm actually more
or my

[keith] (07:44):
or

[raj] (07:44):
ears perk up i'm like oh i want to watch this but when i was
a teen ager and

[keith] (07:50):
a

[raj] (07:50):
if the movie is black and white was like old movie did

[keith] (07:55):
yeah

[raj] (07:55):
you have those kind of reactions or

[keith] (07:56):
i was curious for sure why it

[raj] (07:58):
oh

[keith] (07:58):
was happening and why it was so damn greeny uh but you know eventually would
later learn that they had no money they had to cheap film you could possibly
get to still actually shoot

[raj] (08:09):
yeah

[keith] (08:09):
a movie on and he only had the crappy convenience store lighting and it was
so

[raj] (08:16):
oh

[keith] (08:17):
bad in there the only way to make it look right if you

[raj] (08:20):
yeah

[keith] (08:21):
it in color was to get a bunch of different lights

[raj] (08:23):
m

[keith] (08:23):
and then also have to treat it in post they didn't have any

[raj] (08:26):
oh

[keith] (08:26):
of that stuff so you go

[raj] (08:28):
oh

[keith] (08:28):
black and white and it just basically moves those issues

[raj] (08:33):
ah

[keith] (08:33):
into the background a little bit and eventually

[raj] (08:36):
yeah

[keith] (08:36):
you know i kind of just forget that it's in black and white because you're
just so entranced with what's happening and who's saying what

[raj] (08:44):
oh i didn't know that about the lighting so that's actually pretty interesting you

[keith] (08:47):
it was

[raj] (08:47):
know

[keith] (08:48):
a necessity

[raj] (08:50):
yeah you know

[keith] (08:50):
you

[raj] (08:50):
you were talking about the dialogue and the story and the characters that's how i
kind of feel with the movie like the dialogue is good you're invested in the
characters and the story is good

[keith] (09:02):
or

[raj] (09:03):
it's like sometimes you don't even care about the production design whether

[keith] (09:06):
right

[raj] (09:06):
it's grainy film or black and white and i feel like this movie just kind
of like starts right from the beginning like that you're just hooked right in

[keith] (09:14):
right sleeping in the closet

[raj] (09:16):
a

[keith] (09:16):
he's rolling out gets the phone and you know like like oh

[raj] (09:20):
hey so

[keith] (09:20):
here we

[raj] (09:20):
i wouldn't

[keith] (09:20):
go

[raj] (09:21):
ask about that like i thought it

[keith] (09:23):
oh

[raj] (09:23):
was hilarious that the first time you meet dante falls out of the closet with
the phone ring in but i did

[keith] (09:29):
i did

[raj] (09:29):
write in

[keith] (09:29):
it

[raj] (09:29):
my notes i was like so why was

[keith] (09:31):
ah

[raj] (09:31):
he sleep in the closet i

[keith] (09:32):
that's

[raj] (09:32):
mean

[keith] (09:33):
the best

[raj] (09:33):
different

[keith] (09:33):
part like it's up to you it's jersey

[raj] (09:36):
it's

[keith] (09:36):
yah

[raj] (09:36):
just you

[keith] (09:38):
i

[raj] (09:38):
know

[keith] (09:38):
live thirty

[raj] (09:38):
why do

[keith] (09:38):
minutes

[raj] (09:38):
i think

[keith] (09:38):
from

[raj] (09:38):
of

[keith] (09:39):
jersey so like i have some some knowledge

[raj] (09:44):
so you sleep in the closet i think he has a dog in that and

[keith] (09:47):
a cat

[raj] (09:48):
a cat

[keith] (09:48):
he's got a cat

[raj] (09:50):
i think the cat was taking the bed

[keith] (09:52):
uh

[raj] (09:52):
so

[keith] (09:52):
yep but it also establishes early on that he's kind of a push over

[raj] (09:57):
yep

[keith] (09:58):
he's not supposed to work and he doesn't have to say yes but he does

[raj] (10:02):
that's

[keith] (10:02):
it anyway

[raj] (10:02):
right oh

[keith] (10:04):
and it's a big theme the

[raj] (10:07):
you

[keith] (10:07):
movie

[raj] (10:07):
know i love how like like just like little dialogues like that you just get
to know the character immediately like right when he's on the phone and he's talking
to like probably boss or the owner of the store off screen

[keith] (10:21):
oh

[raj] (10:22):
and just within moments you like you were saying a push over you just you
already know who dante is and so i love it when when you win just
tells me it's like it's good writing

[keith] (10:33):
yeah

[raj] (10:33):
and good acting too

[keith] (10:35):
and it was good planning that you

[raj] (10:36):
oh

[keith] (10:36):
know the whole shutters being closed with the sign out front that was all because
they had to shoot night for day

[raj] (10:46):
are

[keith] (10:46):

[raj] (10:46):

[keith] (13:01):
since they had to shoot at night the whole shutter

[raj] (13:04):
ah

[keith] (13:04):
thing made them able to make it look like it was daytime but they

[raj] (13:09):

oh

[keith] (13:12):
coming up the locks you know that

[raj] (13:13):
yeah

[keith] (13:14):
necessity is a wonderful you know motivator and it's funny about the story

[raj] (13:22):
oh

[keith] (13:22):
that he worked at is that

[raj] (13:23):
oh

[keith] (13:24):
he said he got cat fish by the owners he wanted to work at r
s t video

[raj] (13:28):
yeah

[keith] (13:29):
that's where he interviewed and got hired but they owned both the stores

[raj] (13:33):
yeah

[keith] (13:34):
and they actually made him work the convenience store like ninety percent of the time

[raj] (13:38):
oh

[keith] (13:38):
so he didn't he was like he basically got cat

[raj] (13:41):
yeah

[keith] (13:41):
fished on the on the convenience

[raj] (13:42):
oh

[keith] (13:42):
store job but it opened a bigger window for him into the world of

[raj] (13:47):
oh

[keith] (13:47):
general public

[raj] (13:49):
wow that's such a great story one one is i love how the dad the
dad

[keith] (13:55):
yeah

[raj] (13:55):
helped out that's just an awesome story just

[keith] (13:57):
mom

[raj] (13:57):
you know

[keith] (13:57):
helped out too

[raj] (13:59):
yeah

[keith] (14:00):
she was the milk maid

[raj] (14:02):
no

[keith] (14:02):
the lady who comes in who's like he's complaining about customers and she's checking every
milk for the latest date

[raj] (14:07):
oh

[keith] (14:08):
the person they cast didn't show up it was two in the

[raj] (14:11):
yeah

[keith] (14:11):
morning and kevin smith called his mom like mom can you come down here she's
like well

[raj] (14:15):
i love it

[keith] (14:16):
he's like we really need you and she's like okay honey and she came down
to the convenience story two a m and shot the milkmaid scene

[raj] (14:24):
was that kind of like a flash back scene when like randall

[keith] (14:27):
oh

[raj] (14:27):
and dante were talking about like customers

[keith] (14:29):
yes

[raj] (14:29):
that you don't like

[keith] (14:30):
correct

[raj] (14:31):
yeah

[keith] (14:32):
she was the

[raj] (14:32):
wow

[keith] (14:32):
one checking

[raj] (14:33):
so

[keith] (14:33):
the milks

[raj] (14:33):
great

[keith] (14:34):
and that was a real story

[raj] (14:35):
so

[keith] (14:35):
he's

[raj] (14:36):
she

[keith] (14:36):
like

[raj] (14:36):
had no speaking role it was just

[keith] (14:37):
right

[raj] (14:38):
i love it

[keith] (14:39):
his sister was in the movie she was the lady who when talking about the
guy who was checking for the perfect set of eggs she's

[raj] (14:47):
yeah

[keith] (14:48):
the lady who says that's why you got to have a job important job manually
master bate caged animals for uh artificial insemination that's kevin smith's sister

[raj] (14:56):
oh so she's she was good she was actually funny

[keith] (15:01):
yeah

[raj] (15:01):
she had a funny line

[keith] (15:05):
ah

[raj] (15:05):
you know it's great about that scene is like when she says like oh i
work at a job where we artificially in seven or to

[keith] (15:12):
yeah

[raj] (15:12):
artificially me jerk off animals and when she walks away i think both randall and
dante look at each other

[keith] (15:18):
m

[raj] (15:19):
look at her and then they go back looking at the egg guy

[keith] (15:23):
yeah
yeah

[raj] (15:27):
wow that's so great that makes that makes so much sense why

[keith] (15:30):
right

[raj] (15:30):
it feels like so authentic like the dialogue and the customers that come in you
know it's like i can see a customer like that coming in and

[keith] (15:39):
yeah

[raj] (15:39):
he

[keith] (15:39):
these

[raj] (15:39):
must

[keith] (15:39):
were real

[raj] (15:39):
have

[keith] (15:40):
experiences

[raj] (15:41):
yeah he must have gotten those stories from the time that he was working at
the convenience store and the video shop

[keith] (15:47):
yeah and he originally didn't even have a randall part necessarily but it was kind
of be kind of his part and then he met the guy jeff who ended
up playing the part came in for the casting even though he wasn't an actor
he just heard about it and he came in for then else and it changed
kevin's mind he's like you know what i think you could be a co pilot

(16:10):
for dante here instead of me

[raj] (16:11):
oh

[keith] (16:11):
you know and the recent kevin wanted to be in the movie

[raj] (16:14):
yeah

[keith] (16:14):
himself was just because in case it flopped and he never did anything else over
he could actually point to something than actually look and be like look i made
a move yeah and if i didn't

[raj] (16:22):
m

[keith] (16:22):
do anything you could see him in it and be like i actually did this
once you know that's that's why

[raj] (16:27):
m

[keith] (16:27):
he was he didn't care that

[raj] (16:29):
oh

[keith] (16:29):
he only had the one line himself he just wanted to like prove to anyone
that he could do this even if it didn't go anywhere

[raj] (16:36):
yeah

[keith] (16:37):
so silent bob was just you know great and t j and bob

[raj] (16:41):
yeah

[keith] (16:41):
were also based on pot dealers that used to hang out in front of the

[raj] (16:45):
oh

[keith] (16:45):
uh the store we drug deals whatever they were selling but you know there was
always a quiet

[raj] (16:50):
oh

[keith] (16:50):
guy with muscle and somebody else doing the doing the stuff that was and and
bob you know j is one of the greatest characters

[raj] (16:59):
yes

[keith] (16:59):
i've ever encountered

[raj] (17:01):
oh yeah

[keith] (17:02):
but he doesn't act really he's just

[raj] (17:04):
yeah

[keith] (17:05):
they just put the camera

[raj] (17:05):
oh

[keith] (17:05):
on him and he monologues i mean every once while they gvehim actual lines he
had to do

[raj] (17:10):
yeah

[keith] (17:10):
and he actually struggled with them he was really nervous about it one the cameras
were rolling

[raj] (17:15):
oh

[keith] (17:15):
remember the scene where they actually put the boom box down

[raj] (17:19):
oh

[keith] (17:19):
out in front of the store at night and then

[raj] (17:20):
oh

[keith] (17:20):
j starts dancing then obviously bob starts going crazy dancing

[raj] (17:24):
oh

[keith] (17:24):
they had to clear the set because j couldn't do it in front of people
he was so

[raj] (17:30):
yeah

[keith] (17:30):
clamped up and shy uh

[raj] (17:34):
oh

[keith] (17:34):
they just put the camera on sticks and everybody left

[raj] (17:36):
yeah

[keith] (17:37):
and they just did it two of them themselves that's the only way muse could
do it

[raj] (17:42):
man i wouldn't even think that

[keith] (17:44):
right

[raj] (17:44):
because his character in front of like it's just like he's got like no filter
and just doesn't seem embarrassed by anything

[keith] (17:51):
but when it came to the actual things they needed him to do he got
like nervous it was actually he was supposed to deliver the famous line that silent
bob became un silent for but key was nervous he couldn't deliver

[raj] (18:04):
m

[keith] (18:04):
it and so they changed it to give it to bob and made it this
more poignant thing that he only would speak once and then eventually later he would
only speak once and the other movies as well became a kind of a stick

[raj] (18:16):
yeah i know it's funny how that works out i did not know that story

[keith] (18:20):
it looks

[raj] (18:20):
and

[keith] (18:20):
like it was meant this is what's the only time and he's like the yoga
with the

[raj] (18:23):
oh

[keith] (18:23):
wisdom and he's going to impart it he's been silent and all of a sudden
he's been listening the whole time nd he's way

[raj] (18:27):
yeah

[keith] (18:28):
smarter than you think he is and he's got this great point

[raj] (18:30):
oh

[keith] (18:30):
of view but it's really because j was too new is to say that line
changed it to bob

[raj] (18:37):
you know

[keith] (18:37):
oh

[raj] (18:37):
it actually worked out better

[keith] (18:39):
yeah

[raj] (18:40):
because that's what makes silent bob so great he's silent bob he doesn't say anything

[keith] (18:44):
yeah

[raj] (18:45):
and then the one time he says something

[keith] (18:47):
it smacks

[raj] (18:47):
it's like

[keith] (18:47):
you

[raj] (18:48):
the

[keith] (18:48):
in the head

[raj] (18:49):
yes it's like the smartest it's it's got a lot of wisdom and it makes
dante think and then like you said it created a character where now silent bob
now we know what type character he is for the other movies

[keith] (19:03):
yeah

[raj] (19:04):
can we talk about

[keith] (19:05):
he

[raj] (19:05):
jay for a little bit

[keith] (19:06):
absolutely

[raj] (19:08):
so so

[keith] (19:09):
oh

[raj] (19:09):
within the first like sixty to ninety seconds he basically goes on to offend just
about everybody

[keith] (19:16):
yep

[raj] (19:17):
games women and it's

[keith] (19:21):
people

[raj] (19:21):
it's

[keith] (19:22):
humans

[raj] (19:22):
yeah and it's so quick happened so fast and actually it's kind of hard to
do because he does it without

[keith] (19:31):
out

[raj] (19:31):
being like overtly hateful i don't know if it's just maybe just because

[keith] (19:35):
you

[raj] (19:36):
like the way he's dressed

[keith] (19:38):
ah

[raj] (19:38):
or the way he's delivering the lines you can just like it's like he's not
a bad guy

[keith] (19:46):
he's nineties

[raj] (19:47):
he's

[keith] (19:47):
he's

[raj] (19:47):
nineties

[keith] (19:48):
nineties do you ever watch friends i don't but like i did

[raj] (19:52):
i've

[keith] (19:52):
at

[raj] (19:52):
seen

[keith] (19:52):
the

[raj] (19:52):
a

[keith] (19:52):
time

[raj] (19:52):
couple of episodes but yeah

[keith] (19:53):
but like my wife she like sleeps to him because she's seen him

[raj] (19:56):
yep

[keith] (19:57):
enough times it's just like background noise i mean the friends over nineties

[raj] (20:02):
ah

[keith] (20:02):
they hear they are

[raj] (20:03):
yah

[keith] (20:03):
almost as bad with their anti gay stuff i

[raj] (20:07):
ah

[keith] (20:07):
mean

[raj] (20:07):
oh

[keith] (20:07):
you know excuse it but i mean this was nineties and people still made those
things

[raj] (20:12):
oh

[keith] (20:13):
and made those comments you

[raj] (20:14):
oh

[keith] (20:14):
know right or wrong wrong obviously

[raj] (20:15):
yeah

[keith] (20:16):
but you know like it was not uncommon for somebody

[raj] (20:20):
oh

[keith] (20:21):
to have those things you obviously couldn't and wouldn't make that today

[raj] (20:26):
yeah

[keith] (20:26):
but it was normal for the time but it was out

[raj] (20:30):
you

[keith] (20:30):
there

[raj] (20:30):
and

[keith] (20:30):
that's

[raj] (20:30):
i

[keith] (20:30):
why

[raj] (20:30):
were

[keith] (20:31):
harvey winston turned off the tape i don't even to give that guy

[raj] (20:33):
yes

[keith] (20:33):
some name but like he turned it off but

[raj] (20:37):
oh

[keith] (20:37):
the staff was like oh we're gonna we're gonna see where this goes but the
only reason

[raj] (20:41):
yeah

[keith] (20:41):
i even got it to harvey wine steve is because

[raj] (20:43):
yeah

[keith] (20:45):
they got it into a film festival in new york and

[raj] (20:48):
ah

[keith] (20:49):
kevin thought it was they got this cherry

[raj] (20:52):
oh

[keith] (20:52):
screening on sunday night but

[raj] (20:54):
m

[keith] (20:54):
he didn't know that

[raj] (20:55):
m

[keith] (20:56):
that's the that nobody goes to that one

[raj] (20:57):
oh

[keith] (20:57):
is like the last like it's like the lowest attended of all

[raj] (21:02):
yeah

[keith] (21:02):
and the only people in the audience were

[raj] (21:05):
m oh

[keith] (21:05):
cast and crew and

[raj] (21:06):
uh

[keith] (21:06):
family and a couple of other people but it turns out

[raj] (21:09):
oh

[keith] (21:09):
one of those couple of other people was his guid name bob hawk who news

[raj] (21:13):
oh

[keith] (21:13):
a lot of people and he was like hey you have something here

[raj] (21:17):
so

[keith] (21:18):
ah

[raj] (21:18):
oh

[keith] (21:19):
you need to like we need to talk to some like and it was his
recommendation that started getting

[raj] (21:24):
oh

[keith] (21:24):
it out to other people if it wasn't for

[raj] (21:29):
oh

[keith] (21:29):
him nobody really would have seen it then or like followed up on it i
thought

[raj] (21:36):
oh

[keith] (21:36):
that was fascinating that you know nobody

[raj] (21:39):
oh

[keith] (21:39):
was there but there's one guy but he had he had the power to call
people and

[raj] (21:43):
yeah

[keith] (21:43):
say check

[raj] (21:43):
oh

[keith] (21:43):
this dude out he first time film maker it and he wants some awards for
it you know like not best film but like best first time film

[raj] (21:52):
yeah

[keith] (21:53):
at that at that

[raj] (21:54):
yeah

[keith] (21:54):
festival unto maybe gave him some confidence that he

[raj] (21:56):
yea

[keith] (21:56):
could do this some more

[raj] (22:00):
yeah

[keith] (22:00):
and then when

[raj] (22:01):
yeah

[keith] (22:01):
mirmax got involved they they gave him some budget for you know songs from bands
you've actually heard of you know although

[raj] (22:09):
i was i was wondering about that because i was like wait an ve heard
that song where did

[keith] (22:12):
right

[raj] (22:12):
they

[keith] (22:13):
you can go

[raj] (22:13):
get

[keith] (22:13):
your

[raj] (22:13):
the

[keith] (22:13):
own

[raj] (22:13):
budget

[keith] (22:13):
ways

[raj] (22:13):
to have

[keith] (22:13):
playing on the radio and like you can't afford that and

[raj] (22:16):
uh

[keith] (22:16):
then but no they didn't it was afterwards

[raj] (22:19):
yeah

[keith] (22:20):
but if you remember half the songs are written by his friends and they're

[raj] (22:23):
yeah

[keith] (22:23):
about new jersey there's one about tubac

[raj] (22:27):
yeah

[keith] (22:27):
the watawooke saw like it's just random

[raj] (22:30):
no

[keith] (22:30):
ship but who cared you know it's just music it's just

[raj] (22:33):
yeah

[keith] (22:34):
a little bit of a side track it didn't play for every song or every
scene or every whatever

[raj] (22:38):
m

[keith] (22:38):
it was just usually the transitions

[raj] (22:40):
oh

[keith] (22:41):
uh between scenes or in scene or whatever

[raj] (22:43):
yeah

[keith] (22:44):
and they would go to see music but i don't know what a look song
was like are they singing

[raj] (22:50):
yeah

[keith] (22:50):
about it's

[raj] (22:52):
yeah

[keith] (22:53):
a radio song like what is this but i like it
oh

[raj] (23:02):
so maybe we can get to some favorite scenes and list there's any other

[keith] (23:05):
yeah

[raj] (23:05):
like overarching themes you wanted to talk about this you know i didn't want to
ask you

[keith] (23:09):
yeah

[raj] (23:09):
so you did grow up in jersey or in the new york area

[keith] (23:12):
in connecticut but like right

[raj] (23:13):
connecticut

[keith] (23:13):
on the new york side so like i'm like twenty minutes thirty minutes from new
jersey and we used to go there in the summer

[raj] (23:18):
yeah

[keith] (23:19):
on the coast down the

[raj] (23:20):
so did you know these people

[keith] (23:22):
i knew i knew some of the types

[raj] (23:26):
yeah

[keith] (23:27):
but

[raj] (23:27):
that's what

[keith] (23:27):
what

[raj] (23:28):
i meant but

[keith] (23:29):
but it wasn't so much like here in connecticut a really pretty don't know clean
as far as people go

[raj] (23:37):
yeah

[keith] (23:37):
but i mean i live next to cities and i went to new york city
so like i wasn't aware of truck dealers looked like or what you know people
spoke like but it's a vibe

[raj] (23:47):
yes

[keith] (23:48):
that there are three parts of jersey you know there's really

[raj] (23:52):
yeah

[keith] (23:52):
distinct parts north jersey central south and even technically the other part that's like philly
jersey that

[raj] (23:57):
oh

[keith] (23:58):
identifies with philadelphia

[raj] (23:59):
oh

[keith] (23:59):
even thug it's technically in new jersey

[raj] (24:01):
yeah

[keith] (24:02):
ah but

[raj] (24:02):
oh

[keith] (24:03):
these guys knew who they were and shot

[raj] (24:06):
oh

[keith] (24:06):
everything in their home town and everybody

[raj] (24:08):
oh

[keith] (24:08):
with somebody they knew or somebody

[raj] (24:09):
oh

[keith] (24:10):
that cast locally and i don't know it's just

[raj] (24:15):
yeah

[keith] (24:15):
a ah one of those things that lie like you said it

[raj] (24:19):
oh

[keith] (24:19):
would make other people think maybe i could do this

[raj] (24:22):
yep

[keith] (24:23):
because like i said the grain the black and white all that fades away once
you're

[raj] (24:27):
oh

[keith] (24:28):
really getting into the nittygritti

[raj] (24:29):
yeah

[keith] (24:29):
of rebuilding the death star with independent

[raj] (24:31):
oh

[keith] (24:31):
contractors

[raj] (24:32):
oh

[keith] (24:32):

[raj] (24:35):
oh

[keith] (24:35):
jet just was a bunch of muppets and you know like there were this is
conversations

[raj] (24:41):
oh

[keith] (24:41):
and somewhere about life someone were about the stupidest things but they were

[raj] (24:44):
yeah

[keith] (24:44):
all conversations i feel like i had or needed to have

[raj] (24:48):
oh

[keith] (24:48):
at some point i didn't have obviously marriage considerations in high school but

[raj] (24:52):
oh

[keith] (24:52):
you know you had girl friends that people were unfaithful or

[raj] (24:55):
oh

[keith] (24:55):
like those those are themes that are real

[raj] (24:58):
yeah

[keith] (24:59):
but you know i didn't have a random i had a best friend but he
wasn't crazy and uh foul mouthed and you know self

[raj] (25:09):
yeah

[keith] (25:10):
destructor really destructive towards me you know randal is not destructive towards himself he screws
dante every chance he gets uh unconsciously or not or whatever but

[raj] (25:19):
yeah

[keith] (25:19):
their report i didn't get it at first but then then i loved it

[raj] (25:25):
let's talk about randal

[keith] (25:26):
oh

[raj] (25:26):
because

[keith] (25:28):
yeah

[raj] (25:29):
i think

[keith] (25:29):
thank

[raj] (25:29):
it's like unconsciously that he screws over dante like i actually think randal is a
good dude and i think he loves dante their brows

[keith] (25:39):
okay

[raj] (25:40):
and we know that i mean you know that for most of the movie but
it really comes in during a scene where dante goes and gets ready for the
date with atlin because katelan's back in town and randall s like watching a port
movie at the at the time when he's talking to

[keith] (25:59):
the

[raj] (25:59):
atlin

[keith] (25:59):
best of both worlds

[raj] (26:02):
and i was this close to googling best of both worlds like i never heard
that movie but then right after he feels like it's a poor movie

[keith] (26:09):
or

[raj] (26:09):
i was like

[keith] (26:11):
yeah

[raj] (26:12):
i was like is this a movie i've never heard of but

[keith] (26:15):
they're having this

[raj] (26:15):
he

[keith] (26:16):
crazy tough conversation about her and they're watching her mathedetic

[raj] (26:20):
he

[keith] (26:20):
port at the same time

[raj] (26:22):
which is great and and randal is not even phased by it and either is
really

[keith] (26:26):
neither

[raj] (26:26):
kate

[keith] (26:26):
she

[raj] (26:27):
lin that much yeah she like knows randall

[keith] (26:30):
yes

[raj] (26:30):
but i actually love to see when randall goes hey if you break dantes it
again i will kill you

[keith] (26:35):
yes he

[raj] (26:35):
and

[keith] (26:35):
kind of throws it off it's kind of like a throwaway lime but it's

[raj] (26:38):
okay

[keith] (26:38):
not he just kind of like

[raj] (26:40):
oh

[keith] (26:40):

[raj] (26:41):
ah

[keith] (26:42):
and he's like

[raj] (26:42):
yeah

[keith] (26:43):
you're like oh he cares like you

[raj] (26:45):
he

[keith] (26:45):
thought

[raj] (26:45):
cares

[keith] (26:46):
there is an actual care there not like a

[raj] (26:49):
ah

[keith] (26:49):
friend messing with each other there's a care there and

[raj] (26:51):
fuck

[keith] (26:52):
yeah he's not trying

[raj] (26:53):
he loves

[keith] (26:53):
to screw

[raj] (26:53):
dante

[keith] (26:54):
him he does

[raj] (26:54):
yeah and so that's why i says like you know he's a good dude he
does get dante in trouble by selling

[keith] (27:00):
yeah

[raj] (27:00):
cigarettes to a four year

[keith] (27:02):
oh

[raj] (27:02):
old blowing

[keith] (27:05):
oh

[raj] (27:05):
almost ruining his relationship with veronica

[keith] (27:09):
knocking over the casket at the funeral

[raj] (27:11):
yeah nockingover the casket

[keith] (27:13):
which was a

[raj] (27:13):
of

[keith] (27:13):
scene

[raj] (27:13):
the

[keith] (27:14):
they

[raj] (27:14):
few

[keith] (27:14):
wanted to shoot but he didn't

[raj] (27:15):
oh

[keith] (27:15):
have the money so

[raj] (27:16):
oh

[keith] (27:16):
they just cut it like super quick

[raj] (27:18):
oh

[keith] (27:19):
like that they intended to actually show that

[raj] (27:21):
do

[keith] (27:21):
but

[raj] (27:21):
you think

[keith] (27:21):
they

[raj] (27:22):
it's

[keith] (27:22):
didn't

[raj] (27:22):
better

[keith] (27:22):
have the money

[raj] (27:22):
actually

[keith] (27:23):
i

[raj] (27:23):
because

[keith] (27:23):
think it's definitely better

[raj] (27:25):
because

[keith] (27:25):
they go

[raj] (27:25):
they

[keith] (27:25):
in and

[raj] (27:25):
go

[keith] (27:25):
they come

[raj] (27:26):
in

[keith] (27:26):
running out

[raj] (27:27):
they come running out and you don't know why but it's it's hilarious

[keith] (27:31):
people throwing stuff at the car yeah

[raj] (27:34):
and

[keith] (27:34):
ah

[raj] (27:35):
then they have the scene where they talk about it and like randall is always
i love randall he's so positive he's like well they could just put the body
back in the casket

[keith] (27:43):
oh

[raj] (27:43):
and just go on you know oh

[keith] (27:49):
on their way to the wake in the car

[raj] (27:54):
so good

[keith] (27:55):
yes uh randall's tole line about the guy

[raj] (27:59):
yeah

[keith] (27:59):
breaking his neck trying to go down on himself and then his response to dante
finally

[raj] (28:03):
oh

[keith] (28:03):
admitting that he tried it but what

[raj] (28:05):
oh

[keith] (28:06):
court me in that scene was the camera work it was the only time it
was like this and it you know at first it seemed kind of like

[raj] (28:16):
oh

[keith] (28:16):
rudimentary but it was obviously on

[raj] (28:18):
oh

[keith] (28:18):
purpose everything else was shot pretty normally but in that car the camera is in
the back seat and it just pops back left right left right

[raj] (28:25):
i

[keith] (28:25):
as

[raj] (28:25):
love

[keith] (28:25):
each person

[raj] (28:25):
it when it

[keith] (28:25):
talks

[raj] (28:26):
does that

[keith] (28:26):
wipippipipno cuts

[raj] (28:28):
oh

[keith] (28:29):
but every line like this was deliberate and i

[raj] (28:32):
m

[keith] (28:32):
don't mind it once i realized what it was it didn't wasn't like that in
any

[raj] (28:35):
yeah

[keith] (28:35):
other part of the movie but that car converse ation was ridiculous and so i
i felt like the whip back and forth

[raj] (28:43):
oh

[keith] (28:43):
just kind of like added to like are we really talking about something like this

[raj] (28:47):
oh

[keith] (28:47):
this is like a real discussion you know ah

[raj] (28:52):
oh

[keith] (28:53):
they did that in one take

[raj] (28:54):
yeah yeah

[keith] (28:56):
did you know here were a lot of scenes like that that were done for
time and for money but when veronica first shows up and gets rid of the
tules

[raj] (29:05):
yeah

[keith] (29:05):
guy

[raj] (29:05):
oh

[keith] (29:05):
or whatever and everything calms down and she sits in behind the

[raj] (29:08):
yeah

[keith] (29:08):
counter with dante and he's

[raj] (29:09):
m

[keith] (29:09):
there painting her nails or whatever that's

[raj] (29:11):
m

[keith] (29:11):
like a five minutes sat shot there were no cuts that was one take

[raj] (29:16):
yep

[keith] (29:16):
and you had to nail it all and i'll tell you what they were good
these guys were professionals

[raj] (29:20):
oh

[keith] (29:21):
but they like

[raj] (29:22):
he

[keith] (29:22):
they got it done

[raj] (29:23):
oh

[keith] (29:23):
and i didn't even like realize it was one shot

[raj] (29:26):
oh

[keith] (29:26):
way back when i was watching it or whatever i didn't really appreciate

[raj] (29:29):
ye

[keith] (29:30):
things like that so much but you know that's not

[raj] (29:32):
well

[keith] (29:32):
easy

[raj] (29:33):
the

[keith] (29:33):
to

[raj] (29:33):
dialogue

[keith] (29:33):
do

[raj] (29:33):
is so good and in the call the acting is good like sometimes it's hard
to notice sometimes those things cause you just get sucked right in

[keith] (29:41):
that's when i know it's good you know i wasn't

[raj] (29:43):
yeah

[keith] (29:44):
i'm editor when

[raj] (29:45):
oh

[keith] (29:45):
i was eighteen but you know i'm an editor now it's t v but like
i find myself watching

[raj] (29:51):
oh

[keith] (29:52):
a production instead of watching a movie

[raj] (29:54):
oh

[keith] (29:55):
i'm out of it you know like

[raj] (29:57):
m oh

[keith] (29:58):
i don't want to notice the production that means

[raj] (30:00):
yeah

[keith] (30:00):
it's not good you know like people tell

[raj] (30:04):
oh

[keith] (30:04):
me what's good editing what's good ting are you like good editing will never be
noticed it's a

[raj] (30:12):
oh

[keith] (30:12):
it's a thing you know like the better job

[raj] (30:14):
no

[keith] (30:14):
you do editing the least noticeable it is it sounds

[raj] (30:18):
i

[keith] (30:19):
strange

[raj] (30:19):
yeah

[keith] (30:20):
but that is way goes the way i was trained the last

[raj] (30:24):
okay

[keith] (30:24):
thing you want to do is jar

[raj] (30:26):
oh

[keith] (30:26):

[raj] (30:27):
oh

[keith] (30:27):

ye

[keith] (30:35):
make the audience

[raj] (30:36):
yeah

[keith] (30:36):
pause or jump or think something is

[raj] (30:38):
oh

[keith] (30:38):
weird like if you if you interrupt the flow

[raj] (30:40):
oh

[keith] (30:41):
as bad editing so the best editing

[raj] (30:44):
oh

[keith] (30:44):
is this that the stuff you just don't even notice

[raj] (30:46):
yeah

[keith] (30:46):
and same with the production like once i watched this movie i noticed the black
and white like i said i noticed

[raj] (30:52):
oh

[keith] (30:53):
cheapness but like i was into the movie because the movie was good

[raj] (30:57):
oh

[keith] (30:57):
i didn't give a ship what it looked like dialogue

[raj] (31:00):
oh

[keith] (31:01):
i mean every character had some kind of bent

[raj] (31:05):
oh

[keith] (31:05):

[raj] (31:27):
oh

[keith] (31:28):
you know but everybody added something or else they wouldn't have been in it and
they added everybody was a different flavor and

[raj] (31:36):
so true and everybody was

[keith] (31:38):
m

[raj] (31:39):
maybe maybe i'm being easy but i thought everybody was great like i was like
you know i just thought like i loved all the customers that came in um
i love like the chili guy

[keith] (31:53):
he

[raj] (31:53):
that came in in the beginning

[keith] (31:55):
m the guy who

[raj] (31:56):
uh

[keith] (31:56):
is with

[raj] (31:57):
h

[keith] (31:57):
a cat later box that's all we see him is trying to trying to make
us and

[raj] (32:02):
oh he just looks

[keith] (32:02):
he's watching

[raj] (32:03):
yeah

[keith] (32:03):
the cats shipping dude kevin

[raj] (32:04):
oh

[keith] (32:05):
smith had a friend with a

[raj] (32:06):
yeah

[keith] (32:06):
cat and he was like dude i need your cat to sit in a box
on the thing really like really like yeah

[raj] (32:11):
yeah

[keith] (32:13):
how do you plan a cat ship he's like i don't know

[raj] (32:15):
yeah

[keith] (32:15):
but let's figure it out and so his friend ended up

[raj] (32:17):
yeah

[keith] (32:17):
hiding the cats letter box that

[raj] (32:19):
yeah

[keith] (32:19):
day for hours and hours so the cat didn't ship so he knew like we
put the thing on the table the cat wouldn't care what else was going on
the world that cat was going to go ahead the box and take a ship
and they would get an actual catch ship on film like that was the level
of like they needed this they

[raj] (32:36):
ah

[keith] (32:36):
really he really wanted to catch shipping on the counter and they did it like

[raj] (32:42):
yeah

[keith] (32:42):
that either happening or it didn't but like that was a choice and they made
it and it was hysterical he guy

[raj] (32:48):
yeah

[keith] (32:48):
never talked the

[raj] (32:49):
yeah

[keith] (32:49):
obviously didn't talk it was just another view of the world of the clerks what
they see a

[raj] (32:56):
i didn't write that on my notes as one of the favorite scenes and i
was like you know the cat dogs

[keith] (33:02):
mark

[raj] (33:02):
have always been great actors

[keith] (33:04):
oh

[raj] (33:04):
in movies cats are cats are much much harder

[keith] (33:08):
yeah

[raj] (33:09):
and so i thought the cat was great and trying to get a cat to
go into the letter box poop that's just incredible

[keith] (33:18):
you don't tell cats what to do

[raj] (33:20):
yeah

[keith] (33:20):
do take any order you want cats cats don't give a shit what

[raj] (33:25):
yeah

[keith] (33:25):
you want

[raj] (33:26):
exactly

[keith] (33:26):
they would do but like the guy who cat

[raj] (33:28):
oh

[keith] (33:28):
was and he was in the movie to as one of the friends he was
like this

[raj] (33:31):
oh

[keith] (33:31):
is the only thing i can think of i'm just going to hide the box
for hours and hours and then the cat won't he'll have to ship uh

[raj] (33:38):
yeah

[keith] (33:39):
you know thinking of those things that was you know like the shutters again the
way you think to get around the problems that you have you know problem solving
is massive aspect in film

[raj] (33:52):
oh

[keith] (33:53):

oh

[keith] (36:41):
in front of the mother and the child and they shot them separately and

[raj] (36:48):
a

[keith] (36:48):
she she

[raj] (36:49):
ye

[keith] (36:49):
she was reacting to other name

[raj] (36:51):
oh

[keith] (36:51):
titles that they told her but it wasn't jeff anderson saying because

[raj] (36:54):
oh

[keith] (36:55):
he was like i can't i just can't

[raj] (36:57):
oh

[keith] (36:57):

[keith] (36:59):
well he's not randall he's an act he's

[raj] (37:01):
he's

[keith] (37:01):
you

[raj] (37:01):
an

[keith] (37:01):
know

[raj] (37:01):
actor

[keith] (37:02):

it without it and they did it was a short scene so who cares

[raj] (37:08):
yeah

[keith] (37:08):
if you don't see them in the same shot that happens

[raj] (37:10):
okay

[keith] (37:10):
all the time

[raj] (37:11):
oh

[keith] (37:11):
i can look at movies we're going

[raj] (37:12):
oh

[keith] (37:12):
out last year i'd like oh man did you see those guys were never in
the same shot not once

[raj] (37:16):
ah

[keith] (37:17):
they were on different days different months whatever it was

[raj] (37:18):
a

[keith] (37:19):
movie magic

[raj] (37:19):
yah

[keith] (37:19):
here we are

[raj] (37:21):
m

[keith] (37:21):
you can do that but you know what i

[raj] (37:24):
oh

[keith] (37:24):
learned when he said he refused to do it kevin was like oh yeah and
he added or name some or rancher names for him to list

[raj] (37:31):
yeah

[keith] (37:31):
off even though he was by himself doing the shot they added like five more
names to the porn list

[raj] (37:37):
no no

[keith] (37:37):
m

[raj] (37:37):
that's that's what makes it funny

[keith] (37:38):
m

[raj] (37:38):
because it was i don't know how

[keith] (37:40):
oh

[raj] (37:40):
many titles he named but it was like

[keith] (37:42):
oh

[raj] (37:43):
you know you get the

[keith] (37:43):
you

[raj] (37:43):
point after five

[keith] (37:44):
yeah

[raj] (37:45):
or ten but the fact it felt

[keith] (37:46):
it's

[raj] (37:46):
like

[keith] (37:46):
like twenty

[raj] (37:46):
it went yeah he goes on on which you know sometimes it's just like it
gets even funnier when you kind of go on for

[keith] (37:53):
right

[raj] (37:53):
that

[keith] (37:53):
because

[raj] (37:53):
long

[keith] (37:53):
his cadence is great because there's there's titles that

[raj] (37:56):
yes

[keith] (37:56):
sounded like so he changes girls who create girls are group

[raj] (37:59):
yeah

[keith] (38:00):
he's like you know like his cadence is even like like he's ordering a bag
over the the you know

[raj] (38:08):
oh

[keith] (38:09):
diner next story is going to go pick up it was

[raj] (38:10):
oh

[keith] (38:11):
like nothing to him to say

[raj] (38:13):
yeah

[keith] (38:13):
all these triple x rated things and then

[raj] (38:15):
ah

[keith] (38:15):
the best is like oh yeah and what was that kids movie were

[raj] (38:23):
so good you know now we're talking about the video store this movie was such
a great times camp capital

[keith] (38:29):
yeah

[raj] (38:29):
even though they didn't go to lot of locations but you get to see the
prices of the cigarettes

[keith] (38:35):
yes

[raj] (38:35):
in the convenience store

[keith] (38:36):
one

[raj] (38:36):
which

[keith] (38:36):
ninety five

[raj] (38:37):
when ninety five um now

[keith] (38:40):
no

[raj] (38:40):
it's like i don't smoke

[keith] (38:41):
yeah

[raj] (38:42):
but

[keith] (38:42):
like fifteen

[raj] (38:43):
ten bucks

[keith] (38:43):
or something

[raj] (38:44):
or maybe yeah

[keith] (38:45):
they made so many taxes i don't any more either so like i don't know
but

[raj] (38:49):
so and then

[keith] (38:50):
did

[raj] (38:51):
the obvious one is it's you know we're shooting this pod in twenty two and
video stores are extinct

[keith] (38:58):
yeah

[raj] (38:58):
i think and

[keith] (39:00):

[raj] (39:02):
awesome

[keith] (39:03):
actually

[raj] (39:04):

[keith] (39:07):
yeah

[raj] (39:08):
where is it actually

[keith] (39:08):

[raj] (39:11):
that's awesome that's awesome but a big part of my childhood and in my twenties
was going to the video store

[keith] (39:19):
yeah

[raj] (39:19):
um and spending a lot of time there so it was just nice like just
see in that atmosjust seeing like a video store with casts s tapes all

[keith] (39:28):
oh

[raj] (39:28):
over the place

[keith] (39:29):
yeah

[raj] (39:31):
and i even love the scene when randall asked borrow

[keith] (39:35):
oh

[raj] (39:35):
dante's car so you can go to like

[keith] (39:37):
yeah

[raj] (39:37):
the bigger i don't think they call it block buster but it's kind of like

[keith] (39:40):
choice

[raj] (39:40):
a block buster like a big choice and like the music goes on and he
was just like look at all this choice s and

[keith] (39:46):
yeah

[raj] (39:47):
um you know

[keith] (39:48):
no

[raj] (39:49):
if i ever got a chance to watch this movie again which i will i'll
probably pause it to look at all the titles in the back i didn't notice
some like i

[keith] (39:56):
oh

[raj] (39:56):
noticed

[keith] (39:56):
yeah

[raj] (39:58):
there was a tom hanks movie think it was big

[keith] (40:01):
oh

[raj] (40:01):
solves kind of cool

[keith] (40:04):
i in college you know i kind of you know i love this movie and
one of my favorite scenes and we could talk about when we get to you
know the thirty seven

[raj] (40:15):
yeah

[keith] (40:15):
that number once i've watched that movie every email address every

[raj] (40:22):
oh

[keith] (40:22):
al screen name every whatever thing i signed up for ended it with a thirty
seven whatever

[raj] (40:29):
oh

[keith] (40:29):
i put in front of it was my name or some other thing everything ended
in thirty seven for me because it

[raj] (40:35):
your fancy

[keith] (40:35):
ah

[raj] (40:35):
football team has your avatar has a helmet with a thirty seven on it i
think

[keith] (40:41):
yes yes it does

[raj] (40:44):
and i would not have gotten it until

[keith] (40:47):
oh

[raj] (40:47):
you got you and i were testing back and forth and you were mentioning the
significance of thirty seven

[keith] (40:51):
ah

[raj] (40:51):
and then watching the movie i was like that's it and

[keith] (40:56):
yeah

[raj] (40:56):
now i know

[keith] (40:57):
yeah

[raj] (40:59):
so

[keith] (40:59):
and

[raj] (41:00):
i

[keith] (41:00):
i

[raj] (41:00):
mean

[keith] (41:00):
used

[raj] (41:00):
usually

[keith] (41:00):
to go to the

[raj] (41:00):
like

[keith] (41:00):
video store so was going to continue like and i kind of felt like randall
sometimes and like i wanted to be more open and loose and fun and when
people didn't care and in the college town that was worth it you know we'd
go to block busterapen state you mean my three roommates and it was a giant
block buster and we all

[raj] (41:17):
oh

[keith] (41:17):
look for something and i would everyone like my friend black but this one i'd
be like does it have any tits in it

[raj] (41:23):
eh

[keith] (41:23):
you know as loud as i could in front of the whole store and my
friends will be all embarrassed and stuff but i don't care you know like like
like it's fine and on the idle it you know

[raj] (41:34):
eh uh

[keith] (41:35):
that's not a line from the movie it's just i feel like

[raj] (41:36):
h

[keith] (41:37):
something like randall would have been fine

[raj] (41:39):
there

[keith] (41:39):
with

[raj] (41:39):
now

[keith] (41:39):
saying

[raj] (41:39):
movies when you're younger i feel like movies mean more and like you see a
character that you'll like

[keith] (41:46):
oh

[raj] (41:46):
and you're like i want to be that character in real life

[keith] (41:48):
yeah

[raj] (41:49):
and

[keith] (41:49):
yeah

[raj] (41:49):
so sometimes you'll pick up anorisms or you'll say the lines or act like that
character in real life may not last

[keith] (41:56):
on

[raj] (41:56):
very

[keith] (41:56):
a

[raj] (41:56):
long but movies

[keith] (41:58):
do you

[raj] (41:58):
have

[keith] (41:58):
remember

[raj] (41:58):
that effect

[keith] (41:59):
at the very end when he's closing the store and randal is about to leave
and dante is like

[raj] (42:06):
yeah

[keith] (42:06):
want rangalatof here he's like he's like come on do the and he does that
dance you know and he's

[raj] (42:13):
yeah

[keith] (42:13):
snapping

[raj] (42:13):
the shake

[keith] (42:13):
an's like when i got to college and i ended up doing marching band

[raj] (42:20):
yeah

[keith] (42:20):
later on because bunch of my friends were in it and it was a big
program we

[raj] (42:24):
okay

[keith] (42:24):
got to travel everywhere and

[raj] (42:26):
yeah

[keith] (42:26):
they have every

[raj] (42:29):
oh

[keith] (42:29):
season they make a new version of what they call this incorporator and when you're
marching

[raj] (42:33):
yeah

[keith] (42:34):
just down the

[raj] (42:34):
oh

[keith] (42:34):
street like in a parade the drums are just playing all the time just the
drums mostly in between songs and all the all the people in the band have
like these little inside

[raj] (42:46):
ah

[keith] (42:46):
jokes that when a certain thing happens in the in the music people either

[raj] (42:51):
ah

[keith] (42:51):
grab their hat and did this thing or they touch it like it was like
cool that people like had you know reactions to certain things in the music

[raj] (42:59):
oh

[keith] (42:59):
and when i got there i i don't know why

[raj] (43:03):
yeah

[keith] (43:03):
i took it upon myself but i added a section i convinced a bunch of
people in

[raj] (43:10):
oh

[keith] (43:10):
my area to all do the randall

[raj] (43:12):
ah

[keith] (43:14):
when the parade order would hit a certain part

[raj] (43:15):
oh

[keith] (43:15):
in the music and it caught on and like the one year i was in
the bed

[raj] (43:20):
oh

[keith] (43:20):
we would do the like we would do the snap thing in

[raj] (43:24):
ye

[keith] (43:24):
the middle of march down

[raj] (43:26):
oh

[keith] (43:26):
the parade routes or whatever

[raj] (43:28):
oh

[keith] (43:28):
in the middle of all the other stupid things when they said his one thing
everybody would do a twirl or whatever like

[raj] (43:32):
yes

[keith] (43:32):
but i got i got the randal in there you know because i'm lame like
that but yeah

[raj] (43:38):
you know we should just go jump to our favorite scenes because and i'll start
we've been i've already been mentioned some of the scenes but one of them was
the randall

[keith] (43:45):
the

[raj] (43:45):
dance or i call the randall shake i wrote i could watch that all day
i mean just and you kind of know what who the character is when he
just shows up and he does that shake

[keith] (43:54):
that's

[raj] (43:54):
walking

[keith] (43:54):
his first

[raj] (43:55):
in

[keith] (43:55):
yeh

[raj] (43:56):
yeah

[keith] (43:56):
and he doesn't not even knowing dante's there he's going to do it no matter
who who showed up to work that day

[raj] (44:02):
and what i love is that the movie

[keith] (44:05):
oh

[raj] (44:06):
when you see him last he walks out with the shake

[keith] (44:09):
yep

[raj] (44:09):
and dante asked for it and

[keith] (44:11):
yep

[raj] (44:11):
no matter how picked off dante gets randall and how annoyed because like randall

physically

[raj] (44:22):
you know that i was saying that randall loves dante

[keith] (44:24):
oh

[raj] (44:24):
you know dante loves randall because randall dante asked for it

[keith] (44:27):
yep

[raj] (44:28):
because he needs some cheering

[keith] (44:29):
m

[raj] (44:29):
up and he was like can you do it

[keith] (44:32):
yeah

[raj] (44:33):

that's

[raj] (55:29):
with great

[keith] (55:29):
right

[raj] (55:29):
dialogue

[keith] (55:30):
and i was going to get to that too like

[raj] (55:32):
oh

[keith] (55:32):
he's got a movie

[raj] (55:34):
yeah

[keith] (55:34):
universe

[raj] (55:35):
yeah

[keith] (55:35):
he viewiskuniverse

[raj] (55:36):
oh

[keith] (55:37):
right that's his production couples called view eske and they were one

[raj] (55:41):
yeah

[keith] (55:41):
i mean obviously a movie universes started

[raj] (55:43):
yeah

[keith] (55:43):
in in the thirties and forties with

[raj] (55:44):
yah

[keith] (55:45):
the you know bella

[raj] (55:47):
ah oh

[keith] (55:47):
go see you know the mummies and all that but like this was

[raj] (55:51):
for

[keith] (55:51):
different this was

[raj] (55:52):
oh

[keith] (55:52):
totally different when they went into mal rats

[raj] (55:54):
oh

[keith] (55:55):
they were in

[raj] (55:56):
which is a cold

[keith] (55:57):
that

[raj] (55:57):
classic

[keith] (55:57):
universe

[raj] (55:57):
now

[keith] (55:58):
right and then hey made this universe and kept going and that was never the
thought of the plan but since

[raj] (56:04):
oh

[keith] (56:04):
there was so much success they just just decided

[raj] (56:07):
oh

[keith] (56:07):
to keep going with it and turns out i didn't remember this

[raj] (56:12):
yeah

[keith] (56:13):
j and silent bob were

[raj] (56:15):
oh

[keith] (56:15):
in scream three

[raj] (56:17):
yeah

[keith] (56:18):
a scene and i don't remember why but like the people making

[raj] (56:23):
why not

[keith] (56:23):
that wanted that wanted that to happen like well is that in the same universe

[raj] (56:26):
a

[keith] (56:26):
no i would i wouldn't put something like that but

[raj] (56:28):
yeah

[keith] (56:29):
to think that a no named film maker made a zone

[raj] (56:32):
yeah

[keith] (56:34):
cynematic universe from its first film is really impressive

[raj] (56:36):
yeah oh yeah

[keith] (56:38):
and i mean i just watched clerks three

[raj] (56:42):
ah

[keith] (56:43):

oh

[keith] (56:58):
the quick stop they went to the movies and had a little bit of difference
you know

[raj] (57:02):

[keith] (57:49):
like wait i feel embarrassed as a fan that i didn't even know it was
being made

[raj] (57:55):
h

[keith] (57:56):
it

[raj] (57:56):
m

[keith] (57:57):
but it's not the same even

[keith] (58:07):
per cent fresh rating rotten tomatoes from fans that is not an easy thing to
do and it's fresh from the review obviously not as high but like even the
critics have it in the

[raj] (58:17):
oh

[keith] (58:18):
in the fresh area and for a third part a

[raj] (58:22):
ah

[keith] (58:22):
movie that was twenty five years like with tired

[raj] (58:24):
oh

[keith] (58:25):
that's going to be hard to do if you don't have a quality script in
a quality performance

[raj] (58:30):
yeah

[keith] (58:31):
and i will tell you i used to think on the original

[raj] (58:33):

recommending highly the third one because like i said it's not just clerks it's clerks
with a hat t h which is really different again i

[raj] (59:25):
and

[keith] (59:25):
don't want to

[raj] (59:26):
it's

[keith] (59:26):
see the same thing all the time

[raj] (59:28):
i seen characters that you've seen before and you grew up with and so it's
just like

[keith] (59:34):
yeah

[raj] (59:34):
just kind of being back in that universe again so i'm definitely gonna i'm definitely
going to watch him i watch it pretty soon i actually did not know about
the movie i did know about it before you tested me

[keith] (59:45):
yeah

[raj] (59:46):
i'm a huge fan

[keith] (59:46):
yeah

[raj] (59:46):
quentntarantina so when he shows up

[keith] (59:48):
oh

[raj] (59:48):
on a podcast i'll listen to it and they were talking about clerks three

[keith] (59:53):
oh

[raj] (59:53):
they didn't they didn't say that they watched they were just saying that when kevin
smith was filmy clerks three he got very emotional so and i could see that
you know just

[keith] (01:00:05):
yep

[raj] (01:00:06):
having the cast again and maybe filming at similar locations and you know it could
be emotional

[keith] (01:00:12):
yeah i mean there's

[raj] (01:00:13):
oh

[keith] (01:00:14):
yeah there's a good amount of emotion in it and you're not expecting it from
a

[raj] (01:00:18):
yeah

[keith] (01:00:18):
clerk's movie which also makes it kind of cool in the fact that they're not
doing the

[raj] (01:00:22):
oh

[keith] (01:00:22):
same exact

[raj] (01:00:23):
oh

[keith] (01:00:23):
thing like they basically did in a second one with just more money i don't
need

[raj] (01:00:27):
oh

[keith] (01:00:28):
to see a donkey show like you could you could allude to it you know
like

[raj] (01:00:32):
you know the thing with the donkey show

[keith] (01:00:33):
yeah

[raj] (01:00:33):
though that did become a thing with me and my friends because it was

[keith] (01:00:38):
yeah

[raj] (01:00:38):
like never been a huge fan but i have friends that like to go to
mexico and you know it's just more freedom and it's just whatever goes it's like
it's like a different version of vegas like tana can be

[keith] (01:00:52):
yep

[raj] (01:00:52):
me one time we went we were like oh let's go watch a donkey

[keith] (01:00:54):
oh

[raj] (01:00:55):
show because of the movie clerks too

[keith] (01:00:57):
yeah

[raj] (01:00:58):
was we never

[keith] (01:00:58):
that's what

[raj] (01:00:58):
watched

[keith] (01:00:58):
you do

[raj] (01:00:59):
a donkey

[keith] (01:00:59):
in t

[raj] (01:00:59):
show

[keith] (01:00:59):
j i

[raj] (01:01:01):
yeah

[keith] (01:01:01):
never made it down there when i lived in i feel okay about

[raj] (01:01:05):
it's

[keith] (01:01:06):
it

[raj] (01:01:06):
usually i think you're fine

[keith] (01:01:08):
yeah

[raj] (01:01:08):
nothing

[keith] (01:01:08):
i

[raj] (01:01:08):
wrong

[keith] (01:01:08):
feel

[raj] (01:01:08):
with

[keith] (01:01:08):
okay

[raj] (01:01:08):
you wanted

[keith] (01:01:09):
about

[raj] (01:01:09):
though

[keith] (01:01:09):
it

[raj] (01:01:11):
it's very common for eight ten to twenty years old to go to tana because
it's like you can drink you know

[keith] (01:01:19):
right

[raj] (01:01:19):
and you can

[keith] (01:01:21):
i was

[raj] (01:01:21):
do

[keith] (01:01:21):
twenty

[raj] (01:01:21):
things

[keith] (01:01:21):
five

[raj] (01:01:21):
that

[keith] (01:01:21):
when i moved out there so yeah it was

[raj] (01:01:23):
yeah

[keith] (01:01:23):
a little different bibe

[raj] (01:01:24):
you know what tone becomes less alluring becomes less like you don't think about going
once you turn twenty one but for twenty one it was like let's go to
tana

[keith] (01:01:40):
oh

[raj] (01:01:40):
so i do want to circle back to kevin smith a little bit later and
talk a little bit about his photography i do have one other scene and then
you can talk about some other scenes that you also like but i like the
um right after dante and randall had a fight physical fight

[keith] (01:01:56):
yep

[raj] (01:01:57):
and then they still have an argument at the end when you know dante

[keith] (01:02:01):
no

[raj] (01:02:01):
goes i shouldn't be even be here this day and randall just

[keith] (01:02:04):
it

[raj] (01:02:04):
blows up and

[keith] (01:02:06):
that's the real fight

[raj] (01:02:08):
that's the real fight and the monologue that randall has is really really good like
i love it and i felt like he was even talking to me yet i'm
older now so i have a little you know the pandemic because the pandemic i
have a little different perspective trying to think take things not too seriously any more

(01:02:28):
but i loved his talk about like you know dante takes his job too seriously
you have a minimum wage job you're not even that good at it and i
think this could even apply for jobs that are not minimum wage

[keith] (01:02:43):
right

[raj] (01:02:43):
and i feel a lot of people even myself

[keith] (01:02:45):
oh

[raj] (01:02:45):
and i kind of looked back with a little regret on how much i would
just freak out over my job you know and little things or just even not
not just even things that didn't even have to be my job and then i
would just like stress out of bit or always play the victim

[keith] (01:03:03):
m

[raj] (01:03:03):
and i thought randall's monologue was really really good

[keith] (01:03:07):
yeah

[raj] (01:03:08):
and dante needed to hear that because

[keith] (01:03:09):
yeah he needed

[raj] (01:03:10):
randall

[keith] (01:03:10):
to

[raj] (01:03:10):
was right

[keith] (01:03:11):
yeah that or get off the pot was

[raj] (01:03:13):
yeah

[keith] (01:03:13):
the actual line and it

[raj] (01:03:15):
oh

[keith] (01:03:15):
is true dante was too

[raj] (01:03:16):
yeah

[keith] (01:03:17):
afraid of upsetting the apple cart of his life kind of in any

[raj] (01:03:20):
oh

[keith] (01:03:20):
way ah

[raj] (01:03:21):
yeah

[keith] (01:03:22):
but this kind of like kicked him in the in the butt

[raj] (01:03:25):
m

[keith] (01:03:25):
seems like

[raj] (01:03:27):
yeah

[keith] (01:03:27):
h h

[raj] (01:03:28):
ah yeah

[keith] (01:03:29):
as far as like other scenes it's all like almost all one see that's what
kind of kind of love about it too you

[raj] (01:03:36):
well

[keith] (01:03:36):
know

[raj] (01:03:37):
you

[keith] (01:03:37):
i

[raj] (01:03:37):
mentioned

[keith] (01:03:37):
didn't

[raj] (01:03:37):
the return the jet i and

[keith] (01:03:39):
oh yeah

[raj] (01:03:40):
you had i don't have like i've watched a lot of movies but i feel
like karentino and kevin smith like they would talk about movies in the movies and

[keith] (01:03:52):
yes

[raj] (01:03:52):
i don't i think you see that now a lot but i don't know if
that happened before this movie and i wonder

[keith] (01:03:58):
right

[raj] (01:03:59):
if that happened in the eighties in the seventies and the sixties fifties forties where
they just talk about other movies or pop culture they just

[keith] (01:04:05):
yes

[raj] (01:04:05):
didn't

[keith] (01:04:06):
reservoir

[raj] (01:04:06):
do it

[keith] (01:04:06):
dogs the madonna like a virgin

[raj] (01:04:08):
oh

[keith] (01:04:08):
conversation is

[raj] (01:04:09):
oh

[keith] (01:04:10):
like very close to me to what the kind of conversations they're having

[raj] (01:04:15):
yeah

[keith] (01:04:15):
about star wars in this

[raj] (01:04:17):
exactly

[keith] (01:04:17):
movie

[raj] (01:04:18):
and i think in

[keith] (01:04:18):
and

[raj] (01:04:18):
reservoir dogs they talk about a t v show also and

[keith] (01:04:21):
yeah

[raj] (01:04:21):
when in the car ride

[keith] (01:04:23):
yeah

[raj] (01:04:23):
in old fiction they talk about t v shows and kevin smith talks about return
to ceti

[keith] (01:04:30):
a

[raj] (01:04:31):
and

[keith] (01:04:31):
in ways that me and my nerve friends would talk about it

[raj] (01:04:35):
that's right

[keith] (01:04:35):
ah and

[raj] (01:04:36):
yeah

[keith] (01:04:36):
and like the independent contractors i never had that

[raj] (01:04:39):
ye

[keith] (01:04:40):
deep of a conversation but that was the kind of stuff that i was like
oh yeah dude

[raj] (01:04:45):
oh

[keith] (01:04:45):
who thinks like that even for you like

[raj] (01:04:47):
yeah

[keith] (01:04:47):
that's really a good one you know like

[raj] (01:04:50):
oh

[keith] (01:04:50):
and then having the construction person there to say actually

[raj] (01:04:54):
oh

[keith] (01:04:54):
politics would come into play it was pretty cool

[raj] (01:04:58):
oh

[keith] (01:04:59):
i'm not a super

[raj] (01:04:59):
oh

[keith] (01:05:00):
fan of the hockey scene only because

[raj] (01:05:04):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:05):
there's like

[raj] (01:05:05):
oh

[keith] (01:05:05):
ten feet of space out there there there was really no way conceivably for anybody
to do anything without smacking ten other people with their stick or whatever

[raj] (01:05:14):
and

[keith] (01:05:14):
however

[raj] (01:05:14):
how many people were up there

[keith] (01:05:16):
exactly

[raj] (01:05:16):
was

[keith] (01:05:17):
and you never saw a wide because you couldn't because it would reveal just how
riou the goals were like ten feet apart from each other or whatever

[raj] (01:05:24):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:24):
it was all tight shots and it was all feet shots and action shots they
made it work that's that's part of the problem solving though they didn't have the
money for another location the people

[raj] (01:05:34):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:34):
who

[raj] (01:05:34):
oh

[keith] (01:05:34):
owned the stores gave him the location for free

[raj] (01:05:37):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:37):
so he used it as much as he could

[raj] (01:05:39):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:39):
and that's why they're up there and so i'm okay with it but like

[raj] (01:05:43):
and allowed them to play hockey because dante was like we wait a minute do
we have to play at the park

[keith] (01:05:49):
yeah ah and i will say this

[raj] (01:05:53):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:54):
when the

[raj] (01:05:55):
yeah

[keith] (01:05:56):
asshole guy comes up to join him because he's talking ship about dante and you
know i didn't see it coming but they're a roller blades and this guy isn't
as soon

[raj] (01:06:04):
yep

[keith] (01:06:04):
as they face off he just pushes them over

[raj] (01:06:06):
yeah

[keith] (01:06:06):
the other blades and knocks the ball

[raj] (01:06:09):
yeah

[keith] (01:06:09):
two blocks away into the sewer

[raj] (01:06:10):
okay

[keith] (01:06:11):
or whatever and he leaves and then dante like gave

[raj] (01:06:14):
oh

[keith] (01:06:14):
me another ball and it's like nobody's got another ball i only brought one i
only brought one ship we only got one ball or whatever and dante looks down
over

[raj] (01:06:21):
oh

[keith] (01:06:21):
the edge down on the street he's like hey you see any balls down there
and you hear jago back yell about the biggest pair you ever see

[raj] (01:06:29):
oh

[keith] (01:06:29):
dingle berry uh you know like it's hysterical

[raj] (01:06:33):
ah

[keith] (01:06:34):
fast forward

[raj] (01:06:34):
dante

[keith] (01:06:35):
like

[raj] (01:06:35):
has a look of disgust on his

[keith] (01:06:36):
right he's

[raj] (01:06:37):
face

[keith] (01:06:37):
done the game is over

[raj] (01:06:38):

let it go but i'm still not gonna get

[raj] (01:07:07):
oh

[keith] (01:07:07):
into his space so like he was about twenty feet away

[raj] (01:07:09):
oh

[keith] (01:07:09):
from me or something on the other side of the counter other side like we
weren't going to talk or whatever but i just wanted to like appreciate him and
have him hear it so i just was like

[raj] (01:07:19):
oh

[keith] (01:07:20):

up

[raj] (01:07:27):
oh

[keith] (01:07:27):
he didn't finish the line obviously but

[raj] (01:07:29):
yeah

[keith] (01:07:30):

my wife was mortified she she would never want me to talk to people

[raj] (01:07:50):
oh

[keith] (01:07:50):
but you know i really didn't

[raj] (01:07:51):
oh

[keith] (01:07:51):
unless it happened you i gave ship to jeff ross

[raj] (01:07:55):

[keith] (01:07:56):
one time because

[raj] (01:07:57):
yeah

[keith] (01:07:58):
he was jeff rose and you he gives ship so

[raj] (01:08:00):
oh

[keith] (01:08:01):

[keith] (01:08:07):
we'd better leave you know jeff ross comes in this place a ship

[raj] (01:08:10):

[keith] (01:08:11):
he laughed but not too super funny
yeah but i mean interesting enough

[raj] (01:08:21):
h

[keith] (01:08:22):
nobody else

[raj] (01:08:22):
yeah

[keith] (01:08:22):
ever made anything out of their careers except for j and and bob really i
don't don't think it matters you know

[raj] (01:08:32):
i don't think

[keith] (01:08:33):
it

[raj] (01:08:33):
it matters

[keith] (01:08:33):
actually

[raj] (01:08:33):
either

[keith] (01:08:33):
helps

[raj] (01:08:34):
yeah

[keith] (01:08:34):
it actually helps to me like this was this little microcosm of this group

[raj] (01:08:38):
m

[keith] (01:08:38):
and this time and then like people went

[raj] (01:08:41):
oh

[keith] (01:08:41):
their ways and and they did

[raj] (01:08:43):
oh

[keith] (01:08:43):
god into acting that kate lyn

[raj] (01:08:44):
yeah

[keith] (01:08:44):
girl she he didn't act ever again

[raj] (01:08:46):
yeah

[keith] (01:08:47):
and

[raj] (01:08:48):
oh

[keith] (01:08:48):
for some reason wouldn't be involved in any of the anniversary

[raj] (01:08:51):
eh

[keith] (01:08:51):
things or whatever

[raj] (01:08:52):
oh

[keith] (01:08:52):
but like everybody just kind of did this movie went on with their

[raj] (01:08:55):
oh

[keith] (01:08:55):
lives and we just have it for our enjoyment now and

[raj] (01:09:00):
yeah

[keith] (01:09:00):
we don't see them but

[raj] (01:09:02):
yeah

[keith] (01:09:02):
we just get to have the recording at any time we want

[raj] (01:09:07):
hey so for the flaws i actually wrote

[keith] (01:09:09):
a

[raj] (01:09:10):
you know

[keith] (01:09:10):
a

[raj] (01:09:11):
there's really no flaws for me i thought this movie was just great sure

[keith] (01:09:16):
what

[raj] (01:09:18):
maybe the symotography could have been better but you know if i had to choose
like if you replaced the screen play with a mediocre screen play with mediocre dialogue
that doesn't sound real and replaces the cenmetographer with like

[keith] (01:09:34):
a non film student

[raj] (01:09:35):
yeah or i was

[keith] (01:09:36):
an

[raj] (01:09:36):
saying like

[keith] (01:09:36):
actual

[raj] (01:09:37):
well well what i was saying yeah what i was saying is like if you
put it in a super like a top level

[keith] (01:09:42):
oh

[raj] (01:09:42):
syphotographer but had a week

[keith] (01:09:44):
the

[raj] (01:09:44):
script the movie would not be good

[keith] (01:09:46):
no

[raj] (01:09:46):
and so like i don't really think there's a flaws i did write like the
hawk and the fighting sir they probably could have cocoographed that better but

[keith] (01:09:54):
yeah

[raj] (01:09:55):
that's not really in the movie you

[keith] (01:09:56):
right

[raj] (01:09:56):
know

[keith] (01:09:57):
i mean honestly when they're fighting in the store

[raj] (01:09:59):
oh

[keith] (01:09:59):
destroying things

[raj] (01:10:00):
oh

[keith] (01:10:00):
i'm thinking of myself you know nowadays knowing

[raj] (01:10:02):
we

[keith] (01:10:02):
what they were doing like every candy bar they throw cost is going to cost
them another fifty cents there's no

[raj] (01:10:07):

[keith] (01:10:23):
two hours

[raj] (01:10:24):

[raj] (01:10:31):
oh

[keith] (01:10:31):
they're serious they're actually throwing food and breaking

[raj] (01:10:33):
a

[keith] (01:10:33):
stuff like this is portant

[raj] (01:10:35):
yeah

[keith] (01:10:35):
uh to the scene because they're spending money on breaking food

[raj] (01:10:40):
yeah

[keith] (01:10:42):
oh

[raj] (01:10:42):
do you have any flaws in this movie and it's

[keith] (01:10:45):
ah

[raj] (01:10:45):
it's all right if you don't

[keith] (01:10:47):
i i try to think you know i said like the hockey scene is a
little weird for me physically but it fits the tone and the movie

[raj] (01:10:53):
yes

[keith] (01:10:54):
way more than i have a problem with the physical you know size limitations of
them not ever being able to actually swing a hockey stick up there without hitting
everybody else it does i wouldn't call it a fly but call it a

[raj] (01:11:07):
oh

[keith] (01:11:07):
necessary solution to a problem they didn't have the money to go anywhere else and
they wanted the scene it was it

[raj] (01:11:14):
yeah

[keith] (01:11:14):
was an important scene right he actually is finally going to be derelict in his
duties

[raj] (01:11:20):
oh

[keith] (01:11:22):
which is not dante

[raj] (01:11:23):
yeah

[keith] (01:11:24):
he's finally like you know what fucking these guys have screwed me

[raj] (01:11:27):
oh

[keith] (01:11:28):
am going to close the store you know so it was it was an important
ne called a flaw you know because it was i said it was a problem

[raj] (01:11:35):
oh

[keith] (01:11:35):
solved they didn't have the money

[raj] (01:11:37):
oh

[keith] (01:11:38):
go to a park and play hockey

[raj] (01:11:39):
oh

[keith] (01:11:40):
and it wouldn't have had the same tone either

[raj] (01:11:42):
oh

[keith] (01:11:43):
because you know the people pissed off downstairs you know

[raj] (01:11:46):

[raj] (01:11:58):
probably they didn't have the budget but like yes
