Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh it can be done now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello everybody, Welcome to Clute Movie Podcast, where we break
down the nineteen eighty five cold classic movie Clute one
minute at a time. My name is a boat Brad Gilmore,
and this is a different episode this week. I'm gonna
be honest with you all as we are doing this,
I'm literally looking at a gaggle of seagulls. Will it
be a gaggle?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
What are they? They're not a school, so they must
be a gaggle.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Looking at a gaggle or flock? Is that a flock
of flock of seagulls?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Wow wow?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Looking at a flock of seagulls and also some very
white sand and some beautiful water. Of all places, Orange Beach, Alabama.
I know most of you wouldn't think this would be
a spot there would be a destination for a vacation,
but it is quite lovely. And what's well established on
(01:15):
this podcast that I am not the best with math.
I thought we had enough episodes in the Tuck to
cover my vacation, and then when I realized we didn't,
I tried to find a way before I flew out
to Alabama with Jeff, and then before I leave back
to Houston to tape with Jeff.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Just hasn't been in the cards. So what we're doing
this week is something kind of fun. We are.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Off of the great reaction that we got last week
for Juniper.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Who is our kind of spiritual third co host.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now, based off that with Juniper, we decided to do
some movie pitches for Clues spinoff films. Now, those of
you listen to minute eighty eight offcluding the movie podcast,
heard us talk about well, what is it White Lies
and plum Pies, the romantic mystery comedy I guess between
(02:13):
Professor Plumb and Missus White. So what I asked Jeff
to do, and what I did was come up with
three pitches for Clue spinoffs, and then we would have
Juniper refine those ideas and kind of help us with
the opening scene.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Now is I'm going to pull up my pitches that
I have, and then I will get Jeff's pitches and
we will kind of mold them together in this podcast,
hopefully to hold you over until next week when we
can do minute eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Because guys, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I know we look forward to the minute podcast, but
This is great because it allows us to extend this
show out a little bit more. Because we're a minute
eighty nine and then you have ninety ninety one, ninety two,
ninety three, ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven.
That's nine shows. We said we'd probably do something with
the psych one hundred episode that covers Clue, So let's
(03:11):
say that's ten more episodes maximum you have of.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Clue the Movie.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So we want to definitely make sure that we get
as much in here as we possibly can.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So what I'm gonna do this is how I'm gonna
do it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm gonna pull up Juniper now on my cellular telluler,
so let's bring her up.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
This is Juniper Sparks.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hey, Juniper Sparks, Welcome back to Clue the Movie Podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Hey? Thanks for having me back on Clue the Movie Podcast.
I'm doing great. How about you?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, I'm doing fantastic. Look, we are gonna run some
movie pitches by you if you would like to listen
to my spin offs of Clue the Movie and I
want you to refine the synopsis and help me come
up with the opening of the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
How does that sound.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'd love to hear your ideas for the Clue spinoffs
and help you refine them.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's the first one you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So, the first one I have in mind is a
movie called The green Light. The Undercover Agent, an undercover
FBI agent goes on an assignment to capture the real
mister Green before the events of the nineteen eighty five
movie Clue. This is the detective Caper where Green is
trying to escape. The real mister Green is trying to
(04:35):
escape this undercover FBI agent, who then comes out to
be the mister Green we see at the dinner party
at the beginning of Clue the movie. So come up
with a better synopsis of that and how the movie
would open.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
All right, here's a refined synopsis and an idea for
the opening scene synopsis. In a thrilling prequel to the
classic Clue, The green Light delves into the shadowy world of.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Espionage and deception, an undercover FBI agent is tasked with
an urgent mission capture the elusive criminal mastermind known only
as mister Green. As the agent delves deeper into a
web of lies, double agents, and unexpected alliances, the line
between hunter and hunted blurs. The pursuit leads to a
high stakes game of cat and mouse, ultimately revealing the
(05:28):
shocking truth behind mister Green's identity and setting the stage
for the iconic events at Body Manor opening scene. The
film opens with a tense nighttime chase through the dimly
lit streets of a bustling city. We see the undercover
FBI agent, whose identity is concealed by shadows, navigating the
crowded sidewalks and dodging traffic.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
They're in pursuit of a figure who ducks into.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
A CD speakeasy, disappearing into the smoky haze. As the
agent enters, the camera pans across a diverse array of pagries,
each with their own secrets. The agent scans the room,
their eyes locking onto a familiar face, mister Green. The
agent moves closer, attempting to blend in while keeping Green
in their sights. Suddenly, Green notices the agent and makes
(06:14):
a run for it, leading to a heart pounding chase
through the hidden corridors and underground tunnels of the city.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
The scene ends with the.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Agent narrowly missing Green, who vanishes into the night leaving
behind a cryptic clue that sets the agent on a
new path, one that will ultimately lead them to body manner.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Love it? Love it? Juniper?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That is the green Light, my mister Green prequel. That
is a great one. That is a great one. I
love that, Juniper. How does that movie end?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Glad you liked it?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Here's an idea for how The green Light could end.
As the film nears its climax, the undercover FBIA finally
corners mister Green in an abandoned warehouse, where a dramatic
confrontation unfolds. Tension piques as the agent demands to know
why Green Green has been evading capture and what.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
His true motives are.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Just as it seems the agent has the upper hand,
Green reveals that he's been gathering intelligence on a far
reaching conspiracy involving corrupt officials and other players from the
original clue storyline. In a twist, Green convinces the agent
that they need to work together to dismantle this network. However,
the agent is torn between duty and the revelation of
(07:34):
a greater cause. In a gripping final showdown, Green stages
his own capture, allowing the agent to take him in
as a hero while ensuring the conspiracy remains under investigation.
The film ends with Green being led away in handcuffs,
but not before he subtly slips a critical piece of
evidence to the agent, ensuring the fight against the conspiracy continues.
(07:56):
As Green enters the police car, he smirks, knowing that
he's orchestrated his own capture to continue his undercover work
at body manor, leading directly into the events of the
original Clue movie.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How's that for a wrap.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Up, Juniper, You're fantastic, You're phenomenal, You're all the adjectives.
Now it is time for mister Jeff Smith to give
us his movie pitch about mister Green as well.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Jeff, take it away, hi, Jennifer.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
In the nineteen eighty five cult movie classic Clue, the
movie famously has three endings with different killers. One ending
it is Missus Scarlett and another ending is Missus Peacock,
but there isn't an ending where the killer is mister Green.
(08:45):
Can you come up with an ending that makes mister
Green the killer at the end of Clue?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, yeah, sure, here's a possible ending where mister Green
turns out to be the killer and clue.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
As the tension reaches its peak.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
In the final scene, the guests gather in the lounge
where Wadsworth begins to unravel the Knight's events.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He walks through each.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Murder, detailing the motives and methods, leading everyone to believe
they have an understanding of the Knight's chaos. Just when
it seems the case is solved, mister Green steps forward
with his own explanation. He reveals that as an undercover
FBI agent, he initially came to the mansion to gather
intelligence on the others.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Each of whom is involved in a criminal conspiracy.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
However, as the night unfolded, he discovered that the only
way to stop them and gather enough evidence to convict
them was to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Eliminate the key players involved.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Mister Green calmly admits to each murder, explaining how he
carefully planned every.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Step to make it appear as they were killing each other.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
His motive was to dismantle the criminal ring and ensure
that justice was served without implicating his own e identity
as an agent. In a final twist, mister Green points
out that his actions were not just about justice, but
also personal revenge. One of the victims had previously betrayed him,
causing him to lose someone dear. As the police arrive,
mister Green declares his cover as an agent, stating that
(10:17):
his mission is complete. The film closes with mister Green
leaving the mansion, satisfied that he has avenged his loss
and brought down a network of corruption.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
How does that sound for a mister Green? Ending?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Juniper is on a hot streak, and I again, I
want to apologize for the audio quality here. I'm sitting
on a balcony and you might hear the ocean and
people laughing, seagulls or a plane. But we move on
to my next pitch, and this one I really enjoy.
If you're a longtime fan of this podcast, you will
(10:52):
enjoy this movie Pitch.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So I'm gonna bring Juniper up here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Juniper my next movie pitch, I want you to give
me a better since again and the opening scene, if
you will, this movie is called The Gaelic Shrug.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The movie is a coming.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Of age tale where we first meet Evett before the
events have clue the movie.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The event.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
This event trollops through the French riviera and gets into
school where she is hired to come to America by
Miss Scarlett to be a maid.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Ivette first thinks again she's going.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
To be a simple maid to Scarlet, but then finds
out her real service. Miss Scarlett operates a house of
ill fame, but Ivette is obliged to participate simply giving
Miss Scarlett a Gaelic shrug when she asks to be
a part of Miss Scarlett's house of ill fame. And
(11:46):
when she has asked this question, Ivette just says, Louis
Madame with her Gaelic shrug. Okay, give me a better
synopsis of that, and how does the movie start.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Let's see if she can do that. This is a toughye,
real toughy.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Here's a refined synopsis and an idea for the opening
scene for the Gaelic shrug synopsis. The Gaelic Shrug is
a captivating coming of age story that explores the journey
of Yvet, a spirited young woman navigating her path through
the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera, dreaming of
a better life. Yvette's journey takes a surprising turn when
(12:26):
she receives a mysterious offer to work in America as
a maid.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
For the enigmatic Miss Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
As Yvet settles into her new role, she quickly discovers
that Miss Scarlett's lavish lifestyle hides a darker secret, a
notorious establishment operates under the guise of high society. Torn
between her morals and the allure of wealth Yvet must
navigate the complex world of deceit and temptation, ultimately embracing
(12:52):
her role with a signature Gallic shrug, all while learning
the value of loyalty and friendship. Here's an idea for
how the Gaelic shrug might open. The film begins in
the picturesque yet mysterious landscapes of the Irish countryside, where
a dense fog rolls over a sprawling estate. The camera
pans over the ancient stone walls and lush greenery, finally
(13:14):
settling on a grand but slightly ominous manor house.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Inside, the manner.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Is bustling with activity as guests from various walks of
life gather for an exclusive secretive gathering. Among them is
an unassuming but astute detective from Ireland, known for his
enigmatic methods and the infamous Gaelic shrug he uses to
confound both.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Colleages wait wait, wait, wait, wait, JUNIPERL, I'll ask you
to come up with the Gaelic Shrug starring Yavet.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Before the events included the movie that we just talked about.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Here's a way to open The Gallic Shrug as a
prequel to Clue. The film opens on a rainy evening
in a bustling Dublin neighborhood. The camera follows a shadowy
figure darting through the narrow cobblestone streets, eventually leading us
to an unassuming pub.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Tucked away in an alley.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Inside, the atmosphere is lively with local sharing stories over
pints of guinness. Among them sits a man who appears
to be just another patron, but who we soon learn
is Detective Cimis O'Rourke, known for his peculiar methods and
signature Gallic shrug. As the night progresses, Siamis is approached
by an informant who discreetly slides a file across the table.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The file contains information about a series of high profile
thefts across Europe.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
All linked to a mysterious criminal mastermind known only as
the Enigma. The informant warns Cimis that the next heist
is planned for that very night at a prestigious gala
in one of Dublin's grandest estates. Cimis intrigued by the challenge,
gives his trademark Gaelic shrug, and sets off into the night.
The camera follows him as he arrives at the lavish estate,
(14:51):
blending in with the crowd of well dressed guests.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
The gala is in full swing.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
With music, laughter, and clinking glasses filling the Airms observes
the guests, scanning for any sign of trouble. As the
clock strikes midnight, the lights suddenly dim and chaos erupts
as priceless artifacts begin to dissit it before the guest size.
Amidst the confusion, Siamus spots a suspicious figure slipping away
from the scene and gives chase through the sprawling estate,
(15:19):
using his wits and cunning to track the elusive thief.
The film's opening sets the stage for an intrigue mystery,
with Detective Seamuss O'Rourke determined to uncover the identity of
the enigma and stop the criminal's plans before they can
wak havoc across Europe, ultimately leading him to the events
at Body Manor and Clue.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So I will tell you, Junifer, I allowed you to
finish that thought, but it had nothing to do with
my pitch for the Gaelic shrug. But I was intrigued
enough to listen to what it got to say. I
kind of enjoy it. I enjoyed. It doesn't have to
do with the event in operating the House of ille
Fame and the coming of age tail, but I did
it enjoy the opening scene.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
So how about we move on to the general Jeff Smith.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Hey, Jennifer, I had an idea that we could create
a kind of parody of the nineteen eighties cartoon Muppet Babies,
but instead of having the Muppets as babies, it's the
Clue characters from the nineteen eighty five movie Clue. So
Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Missus Peacock, Mister Green,
(16:28):
and Missus White are all babies living in the nursery
of the mansion, and mister Body is their caretaker. What
kind of adventures do you think the Clue Babies would
get into for episodes of this TV series?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That sounds like a fun and creative concept. Here are
a few adventure ideas for clue babies.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Episode one, The Missing Cookies Caper in the nursery, all
the clue babies are excited about snack time, but when
they discover that the cookie jar is empty, they decide
to solve their first mystery. Each baby has a theory
about who took the cookies, leading to adorable interrogations and
wild imaginations as they explore the nursery for clues. In
(17:11):
the end, they discover that mister Body had simply moved
the cookies to a higher shelf to keep them fresh.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Episode two, The Great Pillow Fort Battle.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
The clue babies split into teams to build the ultimate
pillow fort in the nursery. Scarlet and Peacock use their
charm and negotiation skills to gather supplies, while Mustard and
Green focus on strategy and defense.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
When a playful pillow.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Fight ensues, Plumb uses his intellect to devise a clever
plan to unite the teams and build a massive fort together,
showcasing the importance of teamwork.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Episode three, Time Traveling Trouble.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Missus White finds an old alarm clock that, when wound up,
transports the clue babies into different time periods.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Within the nursery, each baby takes.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
On a different role, like knights in a medieval castle
or act instronauts on a space mission. They must work
together to solve problems in each time period and find
their way back to the present, learning about history and cooperation.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Along the way. Episode four, The Mystery of the Missing Teddy.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Peacock's favorite teddy bear goes missing and the Clue Babies
spring into.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Action to solve the case. They create detective.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Hats and magnifying glasses out of craft supplies and interview
their fellow toys for clues. Along the way, they learn
the importance of taking care of their belongings and supporting
each other when something goes wrong. The Teddy is eventually
found hidden behind a stack of storybooks. Episode five The
Art of Imagination. In an episode focused on creativity, the
(18:44):
Clue Babies decide to host an art show in the nursery.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Each baby creates.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Their own masterpiece using crayons, paints, and glitter. As they
explore different styles and techniques, they encounter artistic mishaps and
accidental messes. In the end, they learn to embrace their
individuality and celebrate the unique talents each baby brings to
the group. These episodes could explore themes of teamwork, problem solving,
and creativity while incorporating the charming personalities of the original
(19:12):
Clue characters in a playful nursery setting.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
All right, we have two more pitches for you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That was Clue Babies, and I'm going to go to
my last pitch that I came up with, and then
we'll go to Jeff's last pitch before we get out
of here. This is a movie called Mister Body takes
a trip to the store before the events of the
night to clue the movie. Mister Body stops by a
local store in order to buy weapons and gift boxes
he's going to present to the game Piece characters and
clue the movie while at the store. In the While
(19:41):
at the store, mister Body finds himself in the middle
of a robbery, which causes him to be late for dinner,
but he turns out to be the hero in this story.
Let me hear a better synopsis of that and the
opening scene.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Here's a refined synopsis and opening scene from Mister Body
takes a trip to the st synopsis.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
In a comedic twist on the classic Who Done It?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Mister Body takes a trip to the store, follows the
notorious party host on a peculiar adventure that unfolds just
before the fateful dinner party at Body Manor. With a
mischievous plan to surprise his guests with personalized weapons and
gift boxes, mister Body heads to a quirky local store. However,
his simple errand turns chaotic when he stumbles into an
(20:24):
attempted robbery. Amidst the unfolding chaos, mister Body must navigate
a series of comedic mishaps, outsmart the bumbling robbers, and
ensure his purchases are ready for the evening's sinister game.
Little does he know, his unexpected heroism will cause him
to arrive fashionably late, setting the stage for the night's
mysterious events. Opening scene the film opens with a shot
(20:48):
of Body manner against the backdrop of a setting sun.
Mister Body, impeccably dressed, steps into his sleek black car
with a smirk, glancing at.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
His watch before driving off. As he cruises.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
The the camera shifts to reveal the quirky local store,
a charmingly cluttered place known for.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Its eclectic inventory.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Mister Body enters the store with an air of confidence,
greeting the eccentric store owner, Missus Higgins, who is busy
re stocking shelves filled with peculiar items. As Body wanders
the aisles, he selects an array of unusual weapons and
charming gift boxes, his mind clearly focused on the Knight's
elaborate plan. Just as Body approaches the checkout counter, the
(21:28):
door bursts open and two masked robbers stumble inside, clearly
inexperienced and bumbling.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Chaos erupts as the robbers.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Fumble with their demands, knocking over displays and causing a
comedic ruckus. Realizing he's caught in the middle of this farce,
mister Body maintains his composure, cleverly using the store's odd
merchandise to his advantage.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
He distracts the robbers with quick wit and.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Unexpected antics, turning household items into makeshift weapons, and using
his charm to rally the quirky store patrons into action.
The scene culminates in a slapstick showdown, with mister Body
managing to outsmart the robbers.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And save the day.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
As the police arrive to apprehend the criminals, Body slightly
disheveled but victorious, gathers his purchases and dashes out of
the store, glancing at his watch with a hint of urgency.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The opening scene sets.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The tone for a comedic and adventurous romp, showcasing mister
Body's resourcefulness and flare for the dramatic as he inadvertently
becomes the hero before heading off to host the most
infamous dinner party of his life.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Love It, Love It, Juniper, And now we go to
our final pitch from the General Jeff Smith.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Hey, Juniper, imagine if you will a version of the
nineteen eighty five cult movie classic Clue. But this version
is written by Quentin Tarantino and stars all of the
regular actors who appear in multiple Quentin Tarantine movies. Can
(23:01):
you write the basic story and who the cast members
would be of a Quentin Tarantino version of Clue?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Here's a take upon a Clue remake with a Quentin
Tarantino twist title Clue, a Tarantino mystery synopsis set against.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The backdrop of the swinging sixties.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Clue with Tarantino Mystery transforms the classic Who Done It
into a gritty, dialogue heavy thriller. When a group of
strangers receives invitations to an extravagant dinner at a remote mansion.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They expect an evening of opulence.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
However, their enigmatic host, Mister Body, has other plans. As
tensions rise and secrets unravel, the guests are thrust into
a night of betrayal, intrigue, and unexpected violence. With Tarantino's
signature nonlinear storytelling and sharp dialogue, the guests must navigate
alliances and come front their darkest truths to uncover the
killer among them.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Opening scene.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
The film opens with an overhead shot of a dusty,
isolated road.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A series of.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Vintage cars make their way toward a grand, ominous mansion.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Silhouetted against the setting sun.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Inside the mansion, the camera weaves through richly decorated rooms
filled with retro memorabilia, finally settling on Mister Body, who
smirks knowingly as the doorbell rings.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Cast Mister Body Christoph Waltz, the.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Enigmatic and calculating host who manipulates the evening's events. Reveling
in the chaos. He orchestrates Miss Scarlett Uma Thurman, a
seductive and cunning fem fatale with a mysterious past and
connections to the Underworld.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Samuel L.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Jackson, a grizzled, no nonsense military man with a volatile
temper and a pension for violence. Tim Roth, a smooth
talking intellectual with questionable ethics and a hidden agenda. Jennifer
Jason Lee, a seemingly proper socialite whose outward elegance hides
a ruthless and manipulative nature. Michael Madsen, a laconic and
(25:07):
stoic businessman with ties to organized crime, harboring secrets of
his own. Diane Krueger, a mysterious and resourceful housekeeper with
a dark past, always.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
One step ahead of the others.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Brad Pitt, the charismatic and enigmatic butler who guides the
guests through the evening, harboring secrets.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Of his own. Key elements nonlinear narrative.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
The film unfolds through a series of flashbacks and parallel storylines,
revealing each character's backstory and connection to Mister Body. Tarantino
dialogue sharp witty exchanges filled with tension and dark humor,
highlighting each character's distinct personality and motives.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Violent twists true.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
To Tarantino's style, unexpected bursts of violence keep the audience
on edge as alliance's shift and betrayals come to light
stylized visuals, the film features striking cinematography and vibrant design,
evoking the gritty, glamorous atmosphere of the sixties conclusion. As
the night progresses, secrets unravel and the body count rises.
(26:08):
In a climactic confrontation, the surviving guests confront the mastermind
behind the murders, leading to a tense and explosive resolution.
In true Tarantino fashion, the film closes with a shocking twist,
leaving audiences questioning everything they thought they knew. How does
that sound for a Tarantino take on Clue?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, you know what, We saved the best for last,
and Jeff Smith comes in at the ninth inning with
a grand slam walk off shot over the Green Monster.
What a phenomenal pitch. Love the casting there. We'll probably
have to talk about it more when we can get
together next week. Write here on Clue Movie Podcast. We're
(26:50):
gonna break down minute eighty nine. But until then, I'm
Brad Gilmour, the Boat. He's Jeffsmith, the general Clue dot
dot com, The Boat, Bradgilmore dot com and we will
see you next week.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And by the Way.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
The number eighty nine ranked film review podcast in the
United States include the movie podcast We'll.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Be back next week. Thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I'm going to enjoy the rest of my time here
in Orange Beach, Alabama.
Oh it can be done now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello everybody, Welcome to Clute Movie Podcast, where we break
down the nineteen eighty five cold classic movie Clute one
minute at a time. My name is a boat Brad Gilmore,
and this is a different episode this week. I'm gonna
be honest with you all as we are doing this,
I'm literally looking at a gaggle of seagulls. Will it
be a gaggle?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
What are they? They're not a school, so they must
be a gaggle.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Looking at a gaggle or flock? Is that a flock
of flock of seagulls?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Wow wow?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Looking at a flock of seagulls and also some very
white sand and some beautiful water. Of all places, Orange Beach, Alabama.
I know most of you wouldn't think this would be
a spot there would be a destination for a vacation,
but it is quite lovely. And what's well established on
(01:15):
this podcast that I am not the best with math.
I thought we had enough episodes in the Tuck to
cover my vacation, and then when I realized we didn't,
I tried to find a way before I flew out
to Alabama with Jeff, and then before I leave back
to Houston to tape with Jeff.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Just hasn't been in the cards. So what we're doing
this week is something kind of fun. We are.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Off of the great reaction that we got last week
for Juniper.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Who is our kind of spiritual third co host.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now, based off that with Juniper, we decided to do
some movie pitches for Clues spinoff films. Now, those of
you listen to minute eighty eight offcluding the movie podcast,
heard us talk about well, what is it White Lies
and plum Pies, the romantic mystery comedy I guess between
(02:13):
Professor Plumb and Missus White. So what I asked Jeff
to do, and what I did was come up with
three pitches for Clue spinoffs, and then we would have
Juniper refine those ideas and kind of help us with
the opening scene.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Now is I'm going to pull up my pitches that
I have, and then I will get Jeff's pitches and
we will kind of mold them together in this podcast,
hopefully to hold you over until next week when we
can do minute eighty nine.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Because guys, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I know we look forward to the minute podcast, but
This is great because it allows us to extend this
show out a little bit more. Because we're a minute
eighty nine and then you have ninety ninety one, ninety two,
ninety three, ninety four, ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven.
That's nine shows. We said we'd probably do something with
the psych one hundred episode that covers Clue, So let's
(03:11):
say that's ten more episodes maximum you have of.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Clue the Movie.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
So we want to definitely make sure that we get
as much in here as we possibly can.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So what I'm gonna do this is how I'm gonna
do it.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm gonna pull up Juniper now on my cellular telluler,
so let's bring her up.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
This is Juniper Sparks.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Hey, Juniper Sparks, Welcome back to Clue the Movie Podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Hey? Thanks for having me back on Clue the Movie Podcast.
I'm doing great. How about you?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, I'm doing fantastic. Look, we are gonna run some
movie pitches by you if you would like to listen
to my spin offs of Clue the Movie and I
want you to refine the synopsis and help me come
up with the opening of the movie.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
How does that sound.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I'd love to hear your ideas for the Clue spinoffs
and help you refine them.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What's the first one you have in mind?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So, the first one I have in mind is a
movie called The green Light. The Undercover Agent, an undercover
FBI agent goes on an assignment to capture the real
mister Green before the events of the nineteen eighty five
movie Clue. This is the detective Caper where Green is
trying to escape. The real mister Green is trying to
(04:35):
escape this undercover FBI agent, who then comes out to
be the mister Green we see at the dinner party
at the beginning of Clue the movie. So come up
with a better synopsis of that and how the movie
would open.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
All right, here's a refined synopsis and an idea for
the opening scene synopsis. In a thrilling prequel to the
classic Clue, The green Light delves into the shadowy world of.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Espionage and deception, an undercover FBI agent is tasked with
an urgent mission capture the elusive criminal mastermind known only
as mister Green. As the agent delves deeper into a
web of lies, double agents, and unexpected alliances, the line
between hunter and hunted blurs. The pursuit leads to a
high stakes game of cat and mouse, ultimately revealing the
(05:28):
shocking truth behind mister Green's identity and setting the stage
for the iconic events at Body Manor opening scene. The
film opens with a tense nighttime chase through the dimly
lit streets of a bustling city. We see the undercover
FBI agent, whose identity is concealed by shadows, navigating the
crowded sidewalks and dodging traffic.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
They're in pursuit of a figure who ducks into.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
A CD speakeasy, disappearing into the smoky haze. As the
agent enters, the camera pans across a diverse array of pagries,
each with their own secrets. The agent scans the room,
their eyes locking onto a familiar face, mister Green. The
agent moves closer, attempting to blend in while keeping Green
in their sights. Suddenly, Green notices the agent and makes
(06:14):
a run for it, leading to a heart pounding chase
through the hidden corridors and underground tunnels of the city.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
The scene ends with the.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Agent narrowly missing Green, who vanishes into the night leaving
behind a cryptic clue that sets the agent on a
new path, one that will ultimately lead them to body manner.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Love it? Love it? Juniper?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That is the green Light, my mister Green prequel. That
is a great one. That is a great one. I
love that, Juniper. How does that movie end?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Glad you liked it?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Here's an idea for how The green Light could end.
As the film nears its climax, the undercover FBIA finally
corners mister Green in an abandoned warehouse, where a dramatic
confrontation unfolds. Tension piques as the agent demands to know
why Green Green has been evading capture and what.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
His true motives are.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Just as it seems the agent has the upper hand,
Green reveals that he's been gathering intelligence on a far
reaching conspiracy involving corrupt officials and other players from the
original clue storyline. In a twist, Green convinces the agent
that they need to work together to dismantle this network. However,
the agent is torn between duty and the revelation of
(07:34):
a greater cause. In a gripping final showdown, Green stages
his own capture, allowing the agent to take him in
as a hero while ensuring the conspiracy remains under investigation.
The film ends with Green being led away in handcuffs,
but not before he subtly slips a critical piece of
evidence to the agent, ensuring the fight against the conspiracy continues.
(07:56):
As Green enters the police car, he smirks, knowing that
he's orchestrated his own capture to continue his undercover work
at body manor, leading directly into the events of the
original Clue movie.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How's that for a wrap.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Up, Juniper, You're fantastic, You're phenomenal, You're all the adjectives.
Now it is time for mister Jeff Smith to give
us his movie pitch about mister Green as well.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Jeff, take it away, hi, Jennifer.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
In the nineteen eighty five cult movie classic Clue, the
movie famously has three endings with different killers. One ending
it is Missus Scarlett and another ending is Missus Peacock,
but there isn't an ending where the killer is mister Green.
(08:45):
Can you come up with an ending that makes mister
Green the killer at the end of Clue?
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, yeah, sure, here's a possible ending where mister Green
turns out to be the killer and clue.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
As the tension reaches its peak.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
In the final scene, the guests gather in the lounge
where Wadsworth begins to unravel the Knight's events.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
He walks through each.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Murder, detailing the motives and methods, leading everyone to believe
they have an understanding of the Knight's chaos. Just when
it seems the case is solved, mister Green steps forward
with his own explanation. He reveals that as an undercover
FBI agent, he initially came to the mansion to gather
intelligence on the others.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Each of whom is involved in a criminal conspiracy.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
However, as the night unfolded, he discovered that the only
way to stop them and gather enough evidence to convict
them was to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Eliminate the key players involved.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Mister Green calmly admits to each murder, explaining how he
carefully planned every.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Step to make it appear as they were killing each other.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
His motive was to dismantle the criminal ring and ensure
that justice was served without implicating his own e identity
as an agent. In a final twist, mister Green points
out that his actions were not just about justice, but
also personal revenge. One of the victims had previously betrayed him,
causing him to lose someone dear. As the police arrive,
mister Green declares his cover as an agent, stating that
(10:17):
his mission is complete. The film closes with mister Green
leaving the mansion, satisfied that he has avenged his loss
and brought down a network of corruption.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
How does that sound for a mister Green? Ending?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Juniper is on a hot streak, and I again, I
want to apologize for the audio quality here. I'm sitting
on a balcony and you might hear the ocean and
people laughing, seagulls or a plane. But we move on
to my next pitch, and this one I really enjoy.
If you're a longtime fan of this podcast, you will
(10:52):
enjoy this movie Pitch.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So I'm gonna bring Juniper up here.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Juniper my next movie pitch, I want you to give
me a better since again and the opening scene, if
you will, this movie is called The Gaelic Shrug.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
The movie is a coming.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Of age tale where we first meet Evett before the
events have clue the movie.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The event.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
This event trollops through the French riviera and gets into
school where she is hired to come to America by
Miss Scarlett to be a maid.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Ivette first thinks again she's going.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
To be a simple maid to Scarlet, but then finds
out her real service. Miss Scarlett operates a house of
ill fame, but Ivette is obliged to participate simply giving
Miss Scarlett a Gaelic shrug when she asks to be
a part of Miss Scarlett's house of ill fame. And
(11:46):
when she has asked this question, Ivette just says, Louis
Madame with her Gaelic shrug. Okay, give me a better
synopsis of that, and how does the movie start.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Let's see if she can do that. This is a toughye,
real toughy.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Here's a refined synopsis and an idea for the opening
scene for the Gaelic shrug synopsis. The Gaelic Shrug is
a captivating coming of age story that explores the journey
of Yvet, a spirited young woman navigating her path through
the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera, dreaming of
a better life. Yvette's journey takes a surprising turn when
(12:26):
she receives a mysterious offer to work in America as
a maid.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
For the enigmatic Miss Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
As Yvet settles into her new role, she quickly discovers
that Miss Scarlett's lavish lifestyle hides a darker secret, a
notorious establishment operates under the guise of high society. Torn
between her morals and the allure of wealth Yvet must
navigate the complex world of deceit and temptation, ultimately embracing
(12:52):
her role with a signature Gallic shrug, all while learning
the value of loyalty and friendship. Here's an idea for
how the Gaelic shrug might open. The film begins in
the picturesque yet mysterious landscapes of the Irish countryside, where
a dense fog rolls over a sprawling estate. The camera
pans over the ancient stone walls and lush greenery, finally
(13:14):
settling on a grand but slightly ominous manor house.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Inside, the manner.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Is bustling with activity as guests from various walks of
life gather for an exclusive secretive gathering. Among them is
an unassuming but astute detective from Ireland, known for his
enigmatic methods and the infamous Gaelic shrug he uses to
confound both.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Colleages wait wait, wait, wait, wait, JUNIPERL, I'll ask you
to come up with the Gaelic Shrug starring Yavet.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Before the events included the movie that we just talked about.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Here's a way to open The Gallic Shrug as a
prequel to Clue. The film opens on a rainy evening
in a bustling Dublin neighborhood. The camera follows a shadowy
figure darting through the narrow cobblestone streets, eventually leading us
to an unassuming pub.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Tucked away in an alley.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Inside, the atmosphere is lively with local sharing stories over
pints of guinness. Among them sits a man who appears
to be just another patron, but who we soon learn
is Detective Cimis O'Rourke, known for his peculiar methods and
signature Gallic shrug. As the night progresses, Siamis is approached
by an informant who discreetly slides a file across the table.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
The file contains information about a series of high profile
thefts across Europe.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
All linked to a mysterious criminal mastermind known only as
the Enigma. The informant warns Cimis that the next heist
is planned for that very night at a prestigious gala
in one of Dublin's grandest estates. Cimis intrigued by the challenge,
gives his trademark Gaelic shrug, and sets off into the night.
The camera follows him as he arrives at the lavish estate,
(14:51):
blending in with the crowd of well dressed guests.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
The gala is in full swing.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
With music, laughter, and clinking glasses filling the Airms observes
the guests, scanning for any sign of trouble. As the
clock strikes midnight, the lights suddenly dim and chaos erupts
as priceless artifacts begin to dissit it before the guest size.
Amidst the confusion, Siamus spots a suspicious figure slipping away
from the scene and gives chase through the sprawling estate,
(15:19):
using his wits and cunning to track the elusive thief.
The film's opening sets the stage for an intrigue mystery,
with Detective Seamuss O'Rourke determined to uncover the identity of
the enigma and stop the criminal's plans before they can
wak havoc across Europe, ultimately leading him to the events
at Body Manor and Clue.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So I will tell you, Junifer, I allowed you to
finish that thought, but it had nothing to do with
my pitch for the Gaelic shrug. But I was intrigued
enough to listen to what it got to say. I
kind of enjoy it. I enjoyed. It doesn't have to
do with the event in operating the House of ille
Fame and the coming of age tail, but I did
it enjoy the opening scene.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
So how about we move on to the general Jeff Smith.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Hey, Jennifer, I had an idea that we could create
a kind of parody of the nineteen eighties cartoon Muppet Babies,
but instead of having the Muppets as babies, it's the
Clue characters from the nineteen eighty five movie Clue. So
Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Missus Peacock, Mister Green,
(16:28):
and Missus White are all babies living in the nursery
of the mansion, and mister Body is their caretaker. What
kind of adventures do you think the Clue Babies would
get into for episodes of this TV series?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
That sounds like a fun and creative concept. Here are
a few adventure ideas for clue babies.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
Episode one, The Missing Cookies Caper in the nursery, all
the clue babies are excited about snack time, but when
they discover that the cookie jar is empty, they decide
to solve their first mystery. Each baby has a theory
about who took the cookies, leading to adorable interrogations and
wild imaginations as they explore the nursery for clues. In
(17:11):
the end, they discover that mister Body had simply moved
the cookies to a higher shelf to keep them fresh.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Episode two, The Great Pillow Fort Battle.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
The clue babies split into teams to build the ultimate
pillow fort in the nursery. Scarlet and Peacock use their
charm and negotiation skills to gather supplies, while Mustard and
Green focus on strategy and defense.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
When a playful pillow.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Fight ensues, Plumb uses his intellect to devise a clever
plan to unite the teams and build a massive fort together,
showcasing the importance of teamwork.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Episode three, Time Traveling Trouble.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Missus White finds an old alarm clock that, when wound up,
transports the clue babies into different time periods.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Within the nursery, each baby takes.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
On a different role, like knights in a medieval castle
or act instronauts on a space mission. They must work
together to solve problems in each time period and find
their way back to the present, learning about history and cooperation.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Along the way. Episode four, The Mystery of the Missing Teddy.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Peacock's favorite teddy bear goes missing and the Clue Babies
spring into.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Action to solve the case. They create detective.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Hats and magnifying glasses out of craft supplies and interview
their fellow toys for clues. Along the way, they learn
the importance of taking care of their belongings and supporting
each other when something goes wrong. The Teddy is eventually
found hidden behind a stack of storybooks. Episode five The
Art of Imagination. In an episode focused on creativity, the
(18:44):
Clue Babies decide to host an art show in the nursery.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Each baby creates.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Their own masterpiece using crayons, paints, and glitter. As they
explore different styles and techniques, they encounter artistic mishaps and
accidental messes. In the end, they learn to embrace their
individuality and celebrate the unique talents each baby brings to
the group. These episodes could explore themes of teamwork, problem solving,
and creativity while incorporating the charming personalities of the original
(19:12):
Clue characters in a playful nursery setting.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
All right, we have two more pitches for you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That was Clue Babies, and I'm going to go to
my last pitch that I came up with, and then
we'll go to Jeff's last pitch before we get out
of here. This is a movie called Mister Body takes
a trip to the store before the events of the
night to clue the movie. Mister Body stops by a
local store in order to buy weapons and gift boxes
he's going to present to the game Piece characters and
clue the movie while at the store. In the While
(19:41):
at the store, mister Body finds himself in the middle
of a robbery, which causes him to be late for dinner,
but he turns out to be the hero in this story.
Let me hear a better synopsis of that and the
opening scene.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
Here's a refined synopsis and opening scene from Mister Body
takes a trip to the st synopsis.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
In a comedic twist on the classic Who Done It?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Mister Body takes a trip to the store, follows the
notorious party host on a peculiar adventure that unfolds just
before the fateful dinner party at Body Manor. With a
mischievous plan to surprise his guests with personalized weapons and
gift boxes, mister Body heads to a quirky local store. However,
his simple errand turns chaotic when he stumbles into an
(20:24):
attempted robbery. Amidst the unfolding chaos, mister Body must navigate
a series of comedic mishaps, outsmart the bumbling robbers, and
ensure his purchases are ready for the evening's sinister game.
Little does he know, his unexpected heroism will cause him
to arrive fashionably late, setting the stage for the night's
mysterious events. Opening scene the film opens with a shot
(20:48):
of Body manner against the backdrop of a setting sun.
Mister Body, impeccably dressed, steps into his sleek black car
with a smirk, glancing at.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
His watch before driving off. As he cruises.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
The the camera shifts to reveal the quirky local store,
a charmingly cluttered place known for.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Its eclectic inventory.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Mister Body enters the store with an air of confidence,
greeting the eccentric store owner, Missus Higgins, who is busy
re stocking shelves filled with peculiar items. As Body wanders
the aisles, he selects an array of unusual weapons and
charming gift boxes, his mind clearly focused on the Knight's
elaborate plan. Just as Body approaches the checkout counter, the
(21:28):
door bursts open and two masked robbers stumble inside, clearly
inexperienced and bumbling.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Chaos erupts as the robbers.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Fumble with their demands, knocking over displays and causing a
comedic ruckus. Realizing he's caught in the middle of this farce,
mister Body maintains his composure, cleverly using the store's odd
merchandise to his advantage.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
He distracts the robbers with quick wit and.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Unexpected antics, turning household items into makeshift weapons, and using
his charm to rally the quirky store patrons into action.
The scene culminates in a slapstick showdown, with mister Body
managing to outsmart the robbers.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And save the day.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
As the police arrive to apprehend the criminals, Body slightly
disheveled but victorious, gathers his purchases and dashes out of
the store, glancing at his watch with a hint of urgency.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
The opening scene sets.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
The tone for a comedic and adventurous romp, showcasing mister
Body's resourcefulness and flare for the dramatic as he inadvertently
becomes the hero before heading off to host the most
infamous dinner party of his life.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Love It, Love It, Juniper, And now we go to
our final pitch from the General Jeff Smith.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Hey, Juniper, imagine if you will a version of the
nineteen eighty five cult movie classic Clue. But this version
is written by Quentin Tarantino and stars all of the
regular actors who appear in multiple Quentin Tarantine movies. Can
(23:01):
you write the basic story and who the cast members
would be of a Quentin Tarantino version of Clue?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Here's a take upon a Clue remake with a Quentin
Tarantino twist title Clue, a Tarantino mystery synopsis set against.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The backdrop of the swinging sixties.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Clue with Tarantino Mystery transforms the classic Who Done It
into a gritty, dialogue heavy thriller. When a group of
strangers receives invitations to an extravagant dinner at a remote mansion.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They expect an evening of opulence.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
However, their enigmatic host, Mister Body, has other plans. As
tensions rise and secrets unravel, the guests are thrust into
a night of betrayal, intrigue, and unexpected violence. With Tarantino's
signature nonlinear storytelling and sharp dialogue, the guests must navigate
alliances and come front their darkest truths to uncover the
killer among them.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Opening scene.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
The film opens with an overhead shot of a dusty,
isolated road.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A series of.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Vintage cars make their way toward a grand, ominous mansion.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Silhouetted against the setting sun.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Inside the mansion, the camera weaves through richly decorated rooms
filled with retro memorabilia, finally settling on Mister Body, who
smirks knowingly as the doorbell rings.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Cast Mister Body Christoph Waltz, the.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Enigmatic and calculating host who manipulates the evening's events. Reveling
in the chaos. He orchestrates Miss Scarlett Uma Thurman, a
seductive and cunning fem fatale with a mysterious past and
connections to the Underworld.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Samuel L.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Jackson, a grizzled, no nonsense military man with a volatile
temper and a pension for violence. Tim Roth, a smooth
talking intellectual with questionable ethics and a hidden agenda. Jennifer
Jason Lee, a seemingly proper socialite whose outward elegance hides
a ruthless and manipulative nature. Michael Madsen, a laconic and
(25:07):
stoic businessman with ties to organized crime, harboring secrets of
his own. Diane Krueger, a mysterious and resourceful housekeeper with
a dark past, always.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
One step ahead of the others.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Brad Pitt, the charismatic and enigmatic butler who guides the
guests through the evening, harboring secrets.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Of his own. Key elements nonlinear narrative.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
The film unfolds through a series of flashbacks and parallel storylines,
revealing each character's backstory and connection to Mister Body. Tarantino
dialogue sharp witty exchanges filled with tension and dark humor,
highlighting each character's distinct personality and motives.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Violent twists true.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
To Tarantino's style, unexpected bursts of violence keep the audience
on edge as alliance's shift and betrayals come to light
stylized visuals, the film features striking cinematography and vibrant design,
evoking the gritty, glamorous atmosphere of the sixties conclusion. As
