- 1:53Speaker 2: Made this happen so we will it's yeah.
- 1:56Speaker 1: It'll be exciting and uh you two i'll let you
- 1:59Speaker 1: introduce yourselves and and go into um what what has
- 2:02Speaker 1: brought you here i suppose because you've we usually start
- 2:05Speaker 1: off the show with, with a geek activity. And I
- 2:08Speaker 1: think your project is sort of, um, above and beyond
- 2:12Speaker 1: most people's geek activities. So I guess just introduce yourselves
- 2:16Speaker 1: and then you can go into what it is you're
- 2:19Speaker 1: putting together.
- 2:20Speaker 6: I'm Andrew. I do vocals for the three piece electronic
- 2:24Speaker 6: musical outfit with outfits, ultra pulverized based here in Louisville, Kentucky.
- 2:29Speaker 7: I'm Chris Vito, this man's brother, uh, AKA Tony robot, uh,
- 2:35Speaker 7: I played the beat machine and synthesizers and stuff in.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The same band. Instead of Robot Robot? It's a choice. Yeah.
- 2:43Speaker 2: It's how you want to go. Tomato, tomato. And technically,
- 2:47Speaker 2: we've sort of worked with you before because.
- 2:49Speaker 1: We've roped you into projects many years ago before this
- 2:52Speaker 1: was even a show in our little weird group.
- 2:54Speaker 2: So it's been a long time. Welcome back.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I don't remember this rope. Are you talking about.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Oh, the Moody Geek. Yeah. Okay.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It's a good rope.
- 3:02Speaker 8: I didn't remember.
- 3:02Speaker 1: That was there when we were doing the print magazine.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I believe you wrote something and threw it in the
- 3:07Speaker 1: mix there.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So it was a while.
- 3:09Speaker 1: I just, like, I knew the name clicked, and I
- 3:11Speaker 1: was like, I know he's done stuff with us in
- 3:13Speaker 1: the past.
- 3:14Speaker 2: It's just been a long, long time. It's good to
- 3:16Speaker 2: be back. Welcome back, yes.
- 3:18Speaker 9: So.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Geek activity?
- 3:21Speaker 1: What is it that you guys have taken upon yourselves?
- 3:23Speaker 2: You've done many with your band.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm at least familiar with you from your other projects
- 3:28Speaker 1: in the past, but this one seems very specific. We
- 3:32Speaker 1: re-scored Robocop. We made a whole new.
- 3:36Speaker 7: Score to the movie. It's a whole different experience from
- 3:40Speaker 7: start to finish. So I guess that's pretty doggone nerdy.
- 3:46Speaker 2: What prompted this is my question.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Well, Andrew had the idea.
- 3:50Speaker 7: He wanted us to score a movie a long time ago,
- 3:52Speaker 7: and Robocop was the first movie that came to our heads.
- 3:55Speaker 7: It's probably a movie we're most familiar with. It fulfills
- 4:00Speaker 7: a boyhood dream of dying horribly and then turning into
- 4:03Speaker 7: a broken robot.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I'm working on my own cyborg body, as I mentioned
- 4:08Speaker 2: on a recent episode. Soon I hope to be jammed
- 4:11Speaker 2: into it. Live long after I should be gone and
- 4:16Speaker 2: Do you.
- 4:16Speaker 10: Have to die a horrible death before you get gendered?
- 4:18Speaker 2: That's going to happen anyway.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just being realistic there.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember, though. I mean, you and I
- 4:24Speaker 2: had been kind of bouncing that idea back and forth
- 4:27Speaker 2: because I remember I approached you, I guess it was
- 4:29Speaker 2: like two, three years ago. It was a while back
- 4:32Speaker 2: when I'd said, hey, would you maybe want to do
- 4:35Speaker 2: a show at the theater one time? I think I
- 4:36Speaker 2: remember I was saying maybe it might be a silent
- 4:39Speaker 2: film or something. And you'd said that you all had
- 4:42Speaker 2: kind of come up with the idea of maybe wanting
- 4:43Speaker 2: to do Robocop. Yeah. It's been in the works for
- 4:47Speaker 2: a while, hasn't it?
- 4:48Speaker 6: Yeah, it took about a year figuring out what we
- 4:51Speaker 6: were going to do and how we were going to
- 4:52Speaker 6: pay ultimate tribute to the movie because we're all so
- 4:55Speaker 6: obsessed with that movie, we didn't want to half-step. So
- 4:59Speaker 6: it took like a year once we started working on it.
- 5:01Speaker 6: We were able to incorporate a lot of the sound
- 5:05Speaker 6: effects and dialogue and quotes. There's so many good quotes
- 5:10Speaker 6: in that movie, and there's so many that I'm obsessed with,
- 5:12Speaker 6: even not name quotes, which is... little things that are
- 5:15Speaker 6: said during the movie I really like. So we incorporate
- 5:17Speaker 6: a lot of that with electronic score and some of
- 5:20Speaker 6: that dialogue stuff sampled and stuff like that. Cause I
- 5:25Speaker 6: think it's cooler to hear Robocop rap or like Dick Jones,
- 5:29Speaker 6: just sampling Dick Jones to a beat and making him rap.
- 5:32Speaker 6: It seems more fun than like rapping about Dick Jones,
- 5:34Speaker 6: you know?
- 5:35Speaker 1: So do you, and again, I, I kind of have
- 5:38Speaker 1: to ask this cause I think the only, you've only
- 5:40Speaker 1: done it one other time, right?
- 5:41Speaker 4: Right.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I was outside.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I was working the door because Ryan had to go, like,
- 5:46Speaker 1: do something with you guys, I'm assuming. He had something
- 5:49Speaker 1: to do with the movie, and he was like, um,
- 5:51Speaker 1: can you watch this?
- 5:52Speaker 2: So, and there were tons of, like, everybody kept showing
- 5:54Speaker 2: up late, by the way. I felt like I needed
- 5:56Speaker 2: to start kicking them out after a while. I'm like, no, no,
- 5:58Speaker 2: you missed it. It's already started. Get lost.
- 6:00Speaker 1: But, seriously, it was like a good half hour in.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I'm still standing there taking people's tickets. Like, I'd see
- 6:05Speaker 1: some straggler come up. I'm like, well, I guess I'm
- 6:07Speaker 1: still on.
- 6:08Speaker 2: The clock here, so... So I missed the majority of it.
- 6:11Speaker 1: I could hear some bleeding out every once in a while.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So I do want to ask, how do you time
- 6:17Speaker 1: it out? Do you play over top of a lot
- 6:20Speaker 1: of it and then time out what you want to
- 6:22Speaker 1: come in as far as dialogue and sound effects?
- 6:25Speaker 6: We play over... The only thing that is baked into
- 6:29Speaker 6: the DVD really is dialogue that is untouched from the movie.
- 6:33Speaker 6: There's some stretches of dialogue that didn't have any score
- 6:36Speaker 6: underneath it. so that's the only thing that kind of
- 6:38Speaker 6: plays that's baked into the movie, but everything else we've
- 6:41Speaker 6: just rehearsed it. And I mean, Chris will, I mean,
- 6:45Speaker 6: Chris and Jared will both like, it'll just change on dime,
- 6:48Speaker 6: you know, like when the cut happens, like the beat
- 6:50Speaker 6: will change. And it's really cool to, cause I always liked,
- 6:53Speaker 6: I think another part too is wanting to do something
- 6:55Speaker 6: like that. Cause I always liked when you synced up,
- 6:58Speaker 6: when you played some random album with some random movie
- 7:00Speaker 6: and those things kind of sync, like that's always really cool.
- 7:03Speaker 6: And so to kind of purposefully, like, customize a soundtrack
- 7:06Speaker 6: to the movie, kind of get that same experience, you know?
- 7:10Speaker 1: I've had that in mind as an offshoot episode anyway, actually.
- 7:14Speaker 1: So start planning ahead for that. I kind of want
- 7:16Speaker 1: to just start picking two. I want to pick, like,
- 7:18Speaker 1: a classic film and a classic album and see if
- 7:21Speaker 1: they have, like, the whole Wizard of Oz, Dark Side
- 7:24Speaker 1: of the Moon effect.
- 7:25Speaker 6: There's a website called Synchronicity Archive. And there's like thousands
- 7:30Speaker 6: of combinations of stuff.
- 7:32Speaker 2: That people just post that they discover.
- 7:34Speaker 1: See, that's the thing. I don't think I wanted you there.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I want to pick random.
- 7:37Speaker 11: Yeah, it works.
- 7:38Speaker 6: You'd be surprised the random stuff.
- 7:40Speaker 7: We had great success by picking frogs with a mustache-less
- 7:44Speaker 7: Sam Elliott with Autobahn.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 7:50Speaker 1: It's the only way to watch frogs.
- 7:52Speaker 6: It was pretty awesome.
- 7:54Speaker 2: They're going to put that on the box now. It's
- 7:56Speaker 2: the only way to watch frogs.
- 7:58Speaker 6: But anyway, so maybe subconsciously that was kind of, you know,
- 8:00Speaker 6: because there is some of that, like, it seems, I mean,
- 8:04Speaker 6: obviously it's purposeful, but it's still, it's cool to see it, like,
- 8:07Speaker 6: just cut right to the movie a lot of times
- 8:08Speaker 6: and stuff. Because I would be disappointed if I went
- 8:11Speaker 6: to see Robocop and I didn't hear certain lines. You
- 8:14Speaker 6: know what I mean? Like, I'd be like, yeah, it
- 8:15Speaker 6: was cool, but I really wish I would have heard
- 8:18Speaker 6: Ed 209's walk sound or, like, you know. bitches leave
- 8:23Speaker 6: you know can you fly bobby and shit like that
- 8:26Speaker 6: like you gotta hear that when i watch the movies
- 8:28Speaker 6: that movie.
- 8:28Speaker 7: Really lends itself to being scored re-scored obviously it got
- 8:32Speaker 7: scored at one point but just because there's so many
- 8:35Speaker 7: there are so many grand entrances that when we were
- 8:38Speaker 7: watching it with the sound down and trying to think
- 8:40Speaker 7: of what we were going to do to it i
- 8:41Speaker 7: was like oh i can't wait to put something over
- 8:43Speaker 7: ed to and i'm walking in the boardroom and ruin
- 8:45Speaker 7: everybody's day and and when robocop walks in the convenience
- 8:48Speaker 7: store and all that kind of stuff so i don't
- 8:50Speaker 7: know it just it begged to be for us to
- 8:52Speaker 7: put stuff on it.
- 8:54Speaker 6: And he was able to sample a lot of the
- 8:56Speaker 6: sound effects and, like, make a beat out of it. So, like,
- 8:58Speaker 6: make a beat out of Ed 209's, like, mechanical sounds
- 9:02Speaker 6: and stuff. So it really is, it's like Robocop 2. It's, like,
- 9:05Speaker 6: the ultimate audio tribute to the movie. And not that
- 9:09Speaker 6: I didn't think the original score was cool. It's not
- 9:11Speaker 6: like we're trying to improve it. It's just a totally
- 9:12Speaker 6: different thing, you know. It's like, you know.
- 9:15Speaker 1: That's kind of what I was wondering at the door
- 9:18Speaker 1: there watching it because that brought in a whole lot
- 9:21Speaker 1: of people that were quite a bit younger.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And I was wondering if there were kids there that
- 9:25Speaker 2: hadn't seen it regular before. I don't know.
- 9:28Speaker 1: What do you think the experience would be like if
- 9:30Speaker 1: you just went in cold having not even been familiar
- 9:33Speaker 1: with the movie?
- 9:35Speaker 2: I wonder.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I know that there are a couple of people that
- 9:37Speaker 1: that was their first time seeing Robocop. Yeah.
- 9:40Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I feel like that's kind of wrong.
- 9:42Speaker 2: I mean, that's just sad. Their life in general is
- 9:45Speaker 2: really sad. Exactly.
- 9:47Speaker 6: You have a much bigger problem on your hands. This
- 9:51Speaker 6: is the first time you've seen Robocop. You can't heal
- 9:54Speaker 6: that wound.
- 9:55Speaker 2: That's true.
- 9:56Speaker 7: I mean, this war is so recognizable that it is
- 9:58Speaker 7: intimidating to approach it, but it it's just it was
- 10:01Speaker 7: fun to do something different with it and now i
- 10:03Speaker 7: haven't seen the movie without our stuff on in so
- 10:05Speaker 7: long i've i'm like oh that's what the robocop theme.
- 10:08Speaker 6: Sounds that's how obsessed we are with the movie because
- 10:10Speaker 6: i've I've seen this movie now more times than I
- 10:13Speaker 6: ever thought I would, even when I watch it all
- 10:15Speaker 6: the time anyway. And it's like, you know what we
- 10:17Speaker 6: should do? We should really get together and watch Robocop sometime.
- 10:19Speaker 6: I mean, with the original audio, you know, because we
- 10:21Speaker 6: haven't heard it in so long.
- 10:22Speaker 2: That's all we do.
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's like, oh my God.
- 10:24Speaker 6: We still want to see this movie. Like, that's how
- 10:27Speaker 6: awesome of a movie it is and how obsessed we
- 10:28Speaker 6: are with it. But before I forget, I think that's
- 10:31Speaker 6: one reason why we included some of the original audio
- 10:35Speaker 6: from the movie is so that if it was your
- 10:37Speaker 6: first time seeing it, that.
- 10:40Speaker 4: You at least.
- 10:41Speaker 6: kind of pick up our little plot points here and
- 10:44Speaker 6: there and at least know some of it. We didn't
- 10:46Speaker 6: want to totally lose people if it was the first
- 10:47Speaker 6: time seeing it.
- 10:50Speaker 2: But there's never any point to where the score just
- 10:52Speaker 2: drops out completely and it's just dialogue. It's pretty much constant.
- 10:57Speaker 6: Maybe just a few seconds here and there.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Yeah, but I didn't think anything would be like a
- 11:01Speaker 2: minute or two or anything along that line.
- 11:04Speaker 10: I've been trying to think just sitting here. I don't
- 11:07Speaker 10: think story-wise, even if The original score and even dialogue
- 11:13Speaker 10: wasn't in it. I think you could pretty much flesh
- 11:16Speaker 10: out the storyline pretty well with completely silent. I think
- 11:20Speaker 10: it's one of those movies that, you know, it's pretty
- 11:23Speaker 10: basic enough that you could figure out on your own.
- 11:25Speaker 2: And it's very visual. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I mean, you can make out a lot of the
- 11:29Speaker 1: basics just based on the way that he shoots it.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I mean, you really, yeah. The dialogue's fun, but you
- 11:36Speaker 2: can kind of piece it together. And it's also cool.
- 11:38Speaker 6: It makes what we're doing kind of seem more of
- 11:40Speaker 6: a part of the movie when you hear our music
- 11:42Speaker 6: underneath somebody talking. It kind of makes it seem like
- 11:48Speaker 6: it's part of it more, too.
- 11:50Speaker 2: So is the original score totally wiped out of your version?
- 11:54Speaker 7: There's one part where Robocop's busting up the Coke factory
- 12:01Speaker 7: that we sample some of the score from the movie.
- 12:04Speaker 1: But how hard was it to get a clear copy,
- 12:08Speaker 1: to just get it without the score? Oh, you mean
- 12:11Speaker 1: the sections with just the dialogue? Or just the movie
- 12:14Speaker 1: that you've got running without the score going on? Isn't
- 12:18Speaker 1: most of it embedded so far into the movie?
- 12:20Speaker 2: I was going to say, that's actually, I guess when
- 12:21Speaker 2: we play it, is most of the time, is the
- 12:23Speaker 2: audio just like down? Or I'm assuming it's just basically,
- 12:27Speaker 2: it's completely silent.
- 12:28Speaker 6: Yeah, there's like, long stretches of silence as part of
- 12:32Speaker 6: that DVD track. There's only like, you know, the parts
- 12:34Speaker 6: here and there that, that are in, you know, that
- 12:37Speaker 6: are needed or whatever.
- 12:37Speaker 7: And you're talking about like movies, easy to follow as
- 12:41Speaker 7: it is.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I just thought of somebody, thought of somebody being lost
- 12:43Speaker 1: in Robocop. Like, I don't get it.
- 12:45Speaker 7: Like there's this guy and it's his first day at
- 12:47Speaker 7: work and they show him getting murdered.
- 12:49Speaker 1: And then his story's over.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Where's that other guy? I haven't seen him in like
- 12:56Speaker 2: an hour.
- 12:58Speaker 6: He's going to his house?
- 13:00Speaker 2: What's this? I'm not stuck.
- 13:02Speaker 6: In this family.
- 13:04Speaker 2: It's actually a Kirtwood Smith movie. Well, I mean, it
- 13:07Speaker 2: kind of is.
- 13:10Speaker 6: It's funny about Kirtwood Smith because younger kids know him
- 13:13Speaker 6: as the dad from that silly show. And to me,
- 13:16Speaker 6: it was the opposite when I was like, Clarence Boddicker
- 13:19Speaker 6: is the dad on some sitcom. He will always be
- 13:22Speaker 6: Clarence Boddicker to me. And so it's weird. Younger kids
- 13:26Speaker 6: have kind of laughed at Clarence Boddicker like, the dad
- 13:29Speaker 6: from that Sunday show, I'm like, boy, don't you laugh
- 13:31Speaker 6: at Clarence.
- 13:33Speaker 2: You were learned.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Are you insane? He's like the baddest.
- 13:36Speaker 10: He was intimidating.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Luckily, even as a sitcom dad, he's kind of a jackass.
- 13:43Speaker 1: It's not too far off. It's like, you know, if
- 13:46Speaker 1: he'd given a few years, he settled down, you know.
- 13:49Speaker 2: He's one of those fun villains like, you know, Frank
- 13:51Speaker 2: Booth in Blue Velvet where it's like, you can laugh
- 13:54Speaker 2: at him at the same time. It's like, he's terrifying too.
- 13:56Speaker 2: He's frightening. And I like the fact that, you know,
- 13:59Speaker 2: I don't know whether it was like, you know, Verhoeven
- 14:02Speaker 2: came up with the idea, it was written in the script,
- 14:04Speaker 2: or Kirtwood Smith came up with it, but, like, the
- 14:06Speaker 2: fact that he's this major villain that has, like, glasses,
- 14:09Speaker 2: you know, adding, like, that weird little nerdy touch to it,
- 14:12Speaker 2: because you typically don't see that, you know, with a villain,
- 14:14Speaker 2: you know, especially in 80s films and stuff like that.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I just like that little touch that they gave the character.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Don't know if it was intentional or it was just incidental,
- 14:23Speaker 2: but I always appreciate it.
- 14:26Speaker 7: I like when they give villains vulnerabilities because it's like,
- 14:28Speaker 7: If I was hanging out with this guy, and he had, like,
- 14:31Speaker 7: a quaddo coming out of his stomach, I'd always be
- 14:33Speaker 7: wanting to look.
- 14:33Speaker 1: At it, and that would be an intimidation, like, point
- 14:36Speaker 1: for him. Like, you looking at my quad? I'm like, never.
- 14:38Speaker 12: I was, no.
- 14:39Speaker 1: He'd be like, uh, excuse me, my eyes are up here. Well,
- 14:43Speaker 1: you got some down there, too, technically.
- 14:44Speaker 2: But anyway, sorry.
- 14:46Speaker 6: He's kind of got those, like, Raiders of the Lost Ark,
- 14:49Speaker 6: bad guy Nazi glasses, you know?
- 14:52Speaker 2: He was also a badass. There's some nice, dirty villains.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, is there anything else you need to tell
- 14:59Speaker 1: people about it or where to find you on the
- 15:03Speaker 1: Internet or any of that fun stuff?
- 15:06Speaker 6: Well, the World Cup show is at Baxter Theater Friday,
- 15:09Speaker 6: August 23rd. It's at Struggle Midnight. It's $ 10. It's probably
- 15:14Speaker 6: the last time we're going to be doing it in
- 15:15Speaker 6: Louisville because we want to just tease it and make
- 15:18Speaker 6: people have to come out and see it. And we're
- 15:20Speaker 6: going to try to do it in some other cities
- 15:22Speaker 6: and kind of go to just, you know, theaters and
- 15:25Speaker 6: just kind of go on the road book hop with
- 15:27Speaker 6: it so you can be here for that did you
- 15:29Speaker 6: just casually say road book hop take.
- 15:31Speaker 10: It on the road book hop are you going to
- 15:33Speaker 10: attempt to play it in Detroit that's the one that
- 15:36Speaker 10: I would.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Yes Detroit Institute of Art I'd really like to play
- 15:39Speaker 6: it well.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Actually there's a lot of abandoned buildings to choose from
- 15:41Speaker 1: so just pick one and start playing and.
- 15:44Speaker 2: If you make enough money with the show in Detroit
- 15:46Speaker 2: you can buy the city while you're at it throw
- 15:47Speaker 2: a rock and.
- 15:48Speaker 6: Hit a steel mill in that place yeah an abandoned
- 15:50Speaker 6: steel mill but then we got we also got an
- 15:52Speaker 6: EP coming out In September, so we find Zanzibar, September 20th. And,
- 15:57Speaker 6: of course, we're on the Internet, ultrapulverize.com.
- 16:02Speaker 2: And after you've done the tour, are you planning to
- 16:04Speaker 2: release the CD of the score, too? Or is it
- 16:07Speaker 2: something where it's always just going to be a live event?
- 16:09Speaker 6: I think we're just going to make it a live
- 16:11Speaker 6: thing that you have to be in whatever place we're
- 16:15Speaker 6: performing to see it, you know?
- 16:17Speaker 1: You can't have everything you want.
- 16:18Speaker 6: You can't. We won't let you.
- 16:20Speaker 1: That's our lesson. RoboCop taught me, that's what I'll teach you.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I mean, is it something where you've genuinely had fun
- 16:28Speaker 2: doing it? I'm assuming so. How many times have you
- 16:30Speaker 2: watched RoboCop on average per week? I'm not going to
- 16:34Speaker 2: say in total, but just in a given average week,
- 16:37Speaker 2: like in this past year.
- 16:38Speaker 7: I haven't eaten it as a full loaf in one
- 16:42Speaker 7: sitting unless we perform it in the basement. If I've
- 16:45Speaker 7: eaten it in bite-sized cereal form, I've had probably the
- 16:49Speaker 7: equivalent of 50 RoboCop loafs.
- 16:52Speaker 1: This is a confusing way to.
- 16:54Speaker 6: Yeah, how many slices are in a loaf?
- 16:55Speaker 2: It's like when you convert metric to standard. It's like, wait, wait.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Well, then we had cereal mixed in, so I'm really
- 17:00Speaker 1: confused now.
- 17:02Speaker 10: Whatever.
- 17:03Speaker 1: You know, you get me.
- 17:04Speaker 4: A lot.
- 17:05Speaker 2: You make a cereal sandwich. I get it. Cinnamon Toast
- 17:07Speaker 2: Crunch is the only loaf cereal, I think, isn't it? Perfect, yeah.
- 17:11Speaker 2: They cut them in slices off. Well, there was the
- 17:13Speaker 2: French Toast Crunch for a while. Yeah, that snuck in there,
- 17:17Speaker 2: but it wasn't, you know... You can't always find it anymore.
- 17:22Speaker 6: But I will say the thing about Robocop, even as
- 17:24Speaker 6: a kid, I always wondered, why doesn't anybody shoot him
- 17:27Speaker 6: in the mouth?
- 17:30Speaker 1: That definitely occurred to me, but I think that in
- 17:33Speaker 1: a lot of movies, when everybody gets shot in the shoulder,
- 17:36Speaker 1: I'm like, or the head, just aim for the head.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Superheroes have the vulnerability of the mouth when you get
- 17:41Speaker 2: right down to it.
- 17:41Speaker 6: Right, right.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I've had this argument with Andrew a million times.
- 17:45Speaker 6: So I guess we can assume that everybody, every bullet
- 17:48Speaker 6: that hits his chest was aimed for his mouth.
- 17:52Speaker 13: Really bad shots.
- 17:53Speaker 6: Just bad shots.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Magnets.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was thinking.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Maybe his chest is magnetized and it just sucks all
- 17:58Speaker 1: the bullets.
- 17:59Speaker 6: I mean, really, I'm joking because, you know.
- 18:01Speaker 2: I hate to tear apart.
- 18:03Speaker 10: You know, like.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Well, why did this?
- 18:05Speaker 10: Well, that wasn't realistic.
- 18:06Speaker 6: And I was tearing apart movies like that. You just
- 18:07Speaker 6: can't enjoy movies anymore. So I really don't want to
- 18:10Speaker 6: do that.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Oh, well, this show's over.
- 18:12Speaker 6: But growing up, I was always just like, why didn't
- 18:14Speaker 6: anybody just shoot him in the grill, yo?
- 18:18Speaker 2: I think that's it.
- 18:19Speaker 1: There's some sort of, that cool mask puts out a
- 18:21Speaker 1: little force field over his mouth.
- 18:23Speaker 2: So was the bug already popped in your head about
- 18:26Speaker 2: a second movie that y'all might do this with?
- 18:29Speaker 6: We've kind of thrown around some ideas, but we always
- 18:32Speaker 6: bat them down. They don't really seem to be as...
- 18:34Speaker 6: We just don't love anything as much as RoboCop.
- 18:37Speaker 2: It's not RoboCop 2?
- 18:38Speaker 3: Oh, God.
- 18:38Speaker 2: But they loved RoboCop 2.
- 18:40Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think I can... I don't think... I
- 18:42Speaker 6: definitely don't think I can endure seeing RoboCop 2 as
- 18:44Speaker 6: many times as we've watched RoboCop 1 to work through this.
- 18:46Speaker 1: No, I probably won't watch that more than twice before
- 18:48Speaker 1: I die. Two more times. Well, having just talked to
- 18:52Speaker 1: the director of RoboCop 3, I'm sure he'd be pleased.
- 18:56Speaker 2: If you wanted to do that. Even he wasn't thrilled
- 18:59Speaker 2: with that movie.
- 19:01Speaker 6: I re-watched RoboCop 3 recently because I remember there being
- 19:04Speaker 6: a cyborg ninja in there, and I was like, all right,
- 19:06Speaker 6: all right, you know, rocket pack or something. But the
- 19:09Speaker 6: thing that was weird to me about the movie is
- 19:11Speaker 6: how much lip gloss RoboCop has on. If you watch
- 19:13Speaker 6: it again, just seriously.
- 19:16Speaker 1: That's just that Peter didn't need any, but that guy,
- 19:20Speaker 1: I mean. He was a pretty thing.
- 19:21Speaker 7: RoboCop's a pretty thing in RoboCop 3.
- 19:25Speaker 6: They're like, yeah, it'll work, but we're going to have
- 19:27Speaker 6: to really slather up those lips.
- 19:30Speaker 2: It made sense, though. Once he started talking about it,
- 19:32Speaker 2: it's like, well, I mean, hell, who wouldn't make RoboCop 3?
- 19:36Speaker 1: They threw it at him, and I'm just like, hell,
- 19:38Speaker 1: I'd make RoboCop 3. Even if it goes down in flames,
- 19:42Speaker 1: you've got to make a RoboCop movie for millions of dollars.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Who wouldn't do that?
- 19:47Speaker 1: I'll do it, but I will not have him having
- 19:48Speaker 1: some dry lips. He will have it. He will have
- 19:51Speaker 1: some supple lips you can imagine.
- 19:56Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Well, you ask a good lead-in question, Beau. So I
- 20:00Speaker 1: think we'll take our break here. And when we come back,
- 20:02Speaker 1: we will return.
- 20:02Speaker 2: I don't remember what the question was. That's okay. Everybody
- 20:05Speaker 2: probably forgot it by now.
- 20:06Speaker 1: When we come back, though, I'll throw it back out
- 20:08Speaker 1: there and we'll get.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Into this week's topic.
- 20:11Speaker 11: I appreciate that.
- 20:27Speaker 8: Welcome to the age of push-button murder. A brave new
- 20:30Speaker 8: world of death machines.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Three of the deadliest men in the world. programmed to
- 20:37Speaker 2: kill on my command. Death Machines. Death Machines.
- 20:44Speaker 8: A motion picture odyssey into a terrifying world.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Men without minds. Women without hope.
- 20:51Speaker 8: Death without reason.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Death Machines.
- 21:00Speaker 8: More than just a unique film experience. More horrifying than
- 21:04Speaker 8: science fiction. Because it's real. Death machines. Tomorrow is here.
- 21:11Speaker 8: And the killers of the future are ready now.
- 21:14Speaker 14: A Crown International Picture.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Rated R.
- 21:24Speaker 1: RoboCop.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Part man, part robot.
- 21:27Speaker 4: All cop.
- 21:28Speaker 3: The ultimate in law enforcement. RoboCop and the Ultra Police.
- 21:32Speaker 3: The only cops with rapid repeat cap firing.
- 21:35Speaker 1: He's unstoppable.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Battling the worst criminals. Headhunter and Nitro. The Ultra Police
- 21:42Speaker 3: protected by Robo Armor. Bring RoboCop even more firepower. In
- 21:47Speaker 3: the fight for justice, nothing can stop RoboCop. RoboCop and
- 21:51Speaker 3: the Ultra Police, each sold separately with RoboCat.
- 22:27Speaker 1: So I brought a cool thing to show everybody. There's
- 22:31Speaker 1: a whole cool new thing we're going to get into here.
- 22:33Speaker 1: And you're all invited to join in. I think you
- 22:37Speaker 1: guys know I'm a geek. And it's been going on
- 22:40Speaker 1: for quite a while. So in moving things around, I
- 22:44Speaker 1: also have moved many times in the last several years,
- 22:47Speaker 1: and I have most of my stuff still in boxes.
- 22:50Speaker 1: And I went over and picked some up. They were
- 22:53Speaker 1: still stored away at someone else's house. And I went
- 22:56Speaker 1: over and was, like, digging through stuff and found, like,
- 22:58Speaker 1: three or four boxes of these old T-shirts. And I had, like,
- 23:03Speaker 1: so many I started going through. And I'm like, wow,
- 23:06Speaker 1: this just shows how far back my, like, movie geekdom
- 23:09Speaker 1: goes are they have suncoast tags on them some might
- 23:14Speaker 1: have yeah and some go well before that too so
- 23:18Speaker 1: that's the thing like as i went into this i
- 23:20Speaker 1: was like okay this i mean most of them are
- 23:22Speaker 1: way like they're i mean half of them are like
- 23:24Speaker 1: little kid sizes and like there's others that still are
- 23:27Speaker 1: like way too long gone that i can't wear anymore
- 23:29Speaker 1: or worn out or like you name it like they're
- 23:32Speaker 1: falling apart but being the movie geek that i am
- 23:34Speaker 1: god forbid i throw them away So then I was like, well, okay,
- 23:38Speaker 1: here's what I'm going to do.
- 23:39Speaker 2: So you're going to offer up us to each pick
- 23:41Speaker 2: our own falling apart kid-sized T-shirts? No, you don't get that.
- 23:45Speaker 7: They're mine, damn it.
- 23:47Speaker 2: I said I was a geek. Geeks don't give their
- 23:48Speaker 2: stuff away.
- 23:49Speaker 13: They just show off.
- 23:50Speaker 2: They show off. I feel.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Just gloat about your broken clothes. Yeah, I'm pretty proud
- 23:56Speaker 1: of them, too. And you'll understand why in a moment.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I feel like, okay, what we need is the T-shirt project.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Where we go through and document these ridiculous shirts that I.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Certainly have a good collection to kick things off.
- 24:11Speaker 1: But I encourage everyone else, if you're an old school
- 24:14Speaker 1: geek and you have your own t-shirts, maybe you don't
- 24:17Speaker 1: still have them laying around like some sort of hoarding weirdo.
- 24:20Speaker 1: But if you have pictures of you wearing one when
- 24:24Speaker 1: you're four, that's cool. I'm going to cap it off
- 24:27Speaker 1: about ten years. I think it needs to be something
- 24:29Speaker 1: that's at least ten years old, so.
- 24:31Speaker 2: I was going to say, all I got is about
- 24:32Speaker 2: 20 Dick Tracy t-shirts.
- 24:35Speaker 1: I might have a few of those in there, too.
- 24:37Speaker 1: So I'm assuming you probably have all the ones I have. But,
- 24:41Speaker 1: you know, I thought this time it would be fitting.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Here's the one I brought that I just kind of
- 24:46Speaker 1: came across today. It's a good tie-in.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 24:50Speaker 1: This is a nice original issue RoboCop.
- 24:55Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 24:56Speaker 1: That's why they need to go to the website and
- 24:59Speaker 1: go to the link right at the top that says
- 25:02Speaker 1: the t-shirt project.
- 25:03Speaker 2: And they can see this one where you featured it.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Are you modeling them in the photos? I'm going to find.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I think the first one that's going to go up
- 25:10Speaker 1: is going to be modeled by a skeleton. And then
- 25:13Speaker 1: I might have to find some other random.
- 25:15Speaker 2: We could get Paul Brokaw to wear all your t-shirts.
- 25:18Speaker 2: I don't think that's the thing.
- 25:20Speaker 1: I can't wear most of them. So I'm going to
- 25:21Speaker 1: have to find some poor soul. But yeah, this one actually,
- 25:24Speaker 1: it's a few years after RoboCop came out because it's
- 25:27Speaker 1: the copyright on it is Orion Pictures and it's 1990.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So within a few years, they put this weird RoboCop
- 25:35Speaker 1: shirt out that obviously I had to have.
- 25:37Speaker 2: I don't know what's with the 32105 at the top there.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Don't you know that?
- 25:43Speaker 1: You call yourself a RoboCop fan.
- 25:45Speaker 2: What is it? Somebody Google that and we'll find it.
- 25:50Speaker 6: It's probably his ammo count.
- 25:51Speaker 7: Looks like he's in VTAC constantly looking at his EKG
- 25:54Speaker 7: up there in the right corner.
- 25:57Speaker 1: He stays pretty calm for staying in such crazy arrhythmia.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Anyway, I thought that was entertaining. I don't care if
- 26:04Speaker 2: anybody else does.
- 26:06Speaker 1: That's the teaser there. And then from here on out,
- 26:10Speaker 1: we're going to start posting them. It's a teaser shirt.
- 26:14Speaker 2: No, I see.
- 26:15Speaker 1: I didn't say that because that's going down the Robocop road,
- 26:18Speaker 1: and I'm not going to do that.
- 26:19Speaker 2: I'm not going to use it any chance.
- 26:22Speaker 4: Robocop.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Every road in Detroit.
- 26:26Speaker 1: But if you want to do something cheesy, all right,
- 26:27Speaker 1: we'll go T-shirt Tuesday is when we'll post the new shirts.
- 26:31Speaker 2: As cheesy as if I were to dress like that
- 26:33Speaker 2: for Halloween, I'd be Robocop.
- 26:36Speaker 1: So anyway, I don't know. I'm entertained by that. So
- 26:39Speaker 1: go to MovieMeltdown.com. Look for the t-shirt project. We're going
- 26:42Speaker 1: to be posting them every week. You guys are invited
- 26:45Speaker 1: to take part.
- 26:46Speaker 2: As is everyone listening.
- 26:47Speaker 1: We're going to throw it out there. Find some fun
- 26:50Speaker 1: old photos of you being a geek back in the
- 26:53Speaker 1: day and.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Send them in. I think that's how you proclaimed.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Your geekdom when you were a kid.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You bought a dorky t-shirt and Guess what? It hasn't
- 27:02Speaker 2: really gone away, actually. Does Herbie the Love Bug t-shirt count?
- 27:06Speaker 2: If you've got it, let's see. It's not a t-shirt,
- 27:09Speaker 2: but there's a vivid memory of me in a picture
- 27:13Speaker 2: wearing a Thundercats sweatsuit. It's a sweatshirt with matching sweatpants.
- 27:19Speaker 2: It's utterly garish. I want an adult extra double X size.
- 27:24Speaker 2: And I'm going to wear it all the time.
- 27:29Speaker 1: We can have a separate spinoff page of just dorky attire.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I mean, because that's not movie related until they get
- 27:35Speaker 1: that Thundercats movie. And even then, like, it's not officially,
- 27:38Speaker 1: but we could work it in if we had a
- 27:41Speaker 1: movie to work off of. But yeah, that's just, you
- 27:44Speaker 1: need to talk to your parents about. So to be clear,
- 27:47Speaker 1: you're looking for a movie geekdom.
- 27:48Speaker 7: If I have a picture of me when I'm five
- 27:50Speaker 7: years old wearing a Virginia Slim shirt, that's pretty geeky.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Again, you might want to talk to your parents.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Great t-shirt, man.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Could be child abuse. I'm not sure. So it's not
- 28:02Speaker 2: going to make you feel old if I have pictures
- 28:05Speaker 2: of me as a youth wearing t-shirts that you sold me.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Not really.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Again, I kind of assume most people out there are
- 28:12Speaker 1: going to. That's why I capped it at 10, because
- 28:14Speaker 1: if I go really old, nobody listening. They're like, I
- 28:17Speaker 1: was four then.
- 28:18Speaker 2: What do you want from me? Because I think most
- 28:19Speaker 2: of my old school stuff, apart from the Dick Tracy stuff,
- 28:21Speaker 2: is Mystery Science Theater stuff. I have one of those.
- 28:25Speaker 2: There's a little of everything mixed in. Because I was
- 28:27Speaker 2: wearing the MST3K ball cap the other day, and someone
- 28:31Speaker 2: saw it, and they're like, where'd you get that? And
- 28:32Speaker 2: I was like, Suncoast. They're like, man.
- 28:33Speaker 4: I was like.
- 28:33Speaker 10: 1994?
- 28:34Speaker 2: I had this thing like, yeah, for like 15 years
- 28:38Speaker 2: or something. Remember when the show was on?
- 28:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 28:40Speaker 2: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:41Speaker 10: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:43Speaker 11: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:46Speaker 15: Can't name a song but the band that's on it.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:52Speaker 11: Take off your day shirt.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Can't name a song but the band that's on it.
- 28:55Speaker 16: Post size tag and faded. Decal disintegrated. How I suffer.

- 29:39Speaker 11: Movie Meltdown.
- 29:59Speaker 5: It's part of your problem, you know.
- 30:01Speaker 4: You haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Are answered in the movies.
- 30:06Speaker 4: And now, on with the show.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny how Robocop turned into be, like, a
- 30:43Speaker 6: kid's thing. Because I remember it had Robocop figures and,
- 30:46Speaker 6: you know, T-shirts and all that.
- 30:47Speaker 2: And then the TV show, too.
- 30:49Speaker 6: Yeah, the cartoon.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Well, that's what he was talking about. That's why they
- 30:53Speaker 2: gave him that third one.
- 30:54Speaker 1: They were like, kids are watching this. Like, they're not
- 30:57Speaker 1: made for kids. But it's like, maybe it's time to
- 31:00Speaker 1: try to rebrand this thing and make it a semi-family-friendly thing.
- 31:04Speaker 2: You know, it didn't work. But, like, again, it made sense.
- 31:07Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Listening to him tell, I was like, okay. I remember
- 31:10Speaker 2: wanting to see the movies as a kid, and my
- 31:12Speaker 2: parents wouldn't let us because they're like, no, it's too
- 31:15Speaker 2: violent and stuff. In the kid mentality, it's like, yeah,
- 31:18Speaker 2: I figure he shoots, but it can't be any worse
- 31:20Speaker 2: than Indiana Jones or something. Not realizing that you're totally
- 31:25Speaker 2: just mocking violence in movies within it that way.
- 31:29Speaker 10: I was right at that age where it still wasn't okay.
- 31:35Speaker 10: But every single kid in my junior high had seen it. Somehow, someway,
- 31:40Speaker 10: we'd all seen it. Well, at least the boys, because
- 31:43Speaker 10: it's all we talked about. I mean, it was it
- 31:46Speaker 10: for a good six, eight months. RoboCop was it.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Infecting the youth. That's what we did.
- 31:53Speaker 10: And, you know, obviously we didn't get the whole thing
- 31:57Speaker 10: about the violence. We just thought it was cool.
- 32:00Speaker 1: There's no satire when you're in grade school.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Which makes me wonder, and I'm going to say something
- 32:05Speaker 2: really nasty, but it makes me wonder how they're going
- 32:08Speaker 2: to be marketing this remake. Yeah, the nasty thing is
- 32:11Speaker 2: saying the remake, but I don't know how they're going to, like,
- 32:15Speaker 2: who it's aimed at.
- 32:16Speaker 1: I've heard decent things now, but I don't know.
- 32:21Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Like, again, they're still, from what I hear, capping it
- 32:25Speaker 1: at a PG-13. And I'm not sure how to do
- 32:27Speaker 1: that story right.
- 32:30Speaker 2: I mean, that was my main problem with World War Z.
- 32:34Speaker 2: I felt the PG-13. Like, I felt them backing off. Like,
- 32:38Speaker 2: I should be... Like, it's a zombie movie. That's the point.
- 32:40Speaker 1: There's supposed to be horror around you. And when they
- 32:44Speaker 1: cut away every time, I'm like... you're kind of cheapening
- 32:46Speaker 1: the whole damn thing. And that's like RoboCop in general.
- 32:51Speaker 1: He wouldn't be a robot of any sort if he
- 32:54Speaker 1: wasn't violently killed. You can't really have the story without
- 32:58Speaker 1: the violence.
- 32:59Speaker 2: So I don't know. I kind of see.
- 33:01Speaker 7: Them making it just like an Iron Man movie, only
- 33:03Speaker 7: Tony Stark dies in the cave.
- 33:05Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Instead of walking out triumphantly, he just died a pretty
- 33:08Speaker 1: horrible death in the cave.
- 33:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Instead of making the suit himself, they put him in
- 33:12Speaker 1: the suit against his will.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Like, maybe you just see him go in a building,
- 33:15Speaker 2: and the building blows up or something, and then they
- 33:17Speaker 2: cut instead of showing anything.
- 33:19Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 33:22Speaker 2: I mean, it was... Wasn't it supposed to have been released, like,
- 33:25Speaker 2: this summer or something? I know they've moved it back
- 33:28Speaker 2: from what it used to be. It's been working a while.
- 33:30Speaker 2: When is it even.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Supposed to be released now? Early 2014.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Is it? Yeah. Like, early, like, in the spring? No,
- 33:37Speaker 2: I think, like, February or March or something. Oh, that's bad.
- 33:40Speaker 2: The dumping ground? That's not good. Yeah, that's the theatrical
- 33:43Speaker 2: dumping ground. If you have no confidence in a movie
- 33:45Speaker 2: as a studio, you put it anywhere.
- 33:47Speaker 1: They really should do it in December and push for Oscar.
- 33:52Speaker 1: And RoboCop could actually go up there and accept his Oscar.
- 33:55Speaker 6: Maybe Murphy, like, puts him in the tub and dies.
- 33:58Speaker 1: He'd clean death. That actually makes a better corpse to
- 34:00Speaker 1: make a robot out of.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Then they don't have to cover everything up if he's
- 34:04Speaker 2: still pretty.
- 34:06Speaker 1: He dies with his lips glossed on.
- 34:07Speaker 2: He'd be all set.
- 34:11Speaker 1: So, you asked earlier how many times have you watched
- 34:13Speaker 1: Robocop in general this week, you know, in your life. So,
- 34:17Speaker 1: obviously that is a good candidate for this week.
- 34:22Speaker 2: It is time for The Grind.
- 34:24Speaker 11: The Grind.
- 34:34Speaker 1: Got you where I want you.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Girl, I think it's.
- 34:36Speaker 11: Gonna feel so good.
- 34:39Speaker 1: And this segment we discuss a specific topic or question
- 34:42Speaker 1: related to movies. And we'd like the topics to come
- 34:45Speaker 1: from you, but you never bother to email.
- 34:47Speaker 2: In, so screw you guys.
- 34:48Speaker 1: This week's Grind topic comes from Fred, who also couldn't.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Be here this week. He couldn't bother to be here. No,
- 34:56Speaker 2: we love Fred, but he has scheduling issues. Well, Fred's
- 34:59Speaker 2: favorite movie is Space Cowboys. Is that why we came
- 35:02Speaker 2: up with that one episode?
- 35:03Speaker 5: Space Cowboys.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Space Cowboys.
- 35:05Speaker 1: That's somebody's favorite movie.
- 35:06Speaker 2: Which I regret we didn't come up with like Curly
- 35:09Speaker 2: Sue or something.
- 35:10Speaker 1: That's his second favorite movie. But I'm sure he finds
- 35:14Speaker 1: it rewatchable. Which is what he wanted us to discuss.
- 35:17Speaker 1: He said we should discuss movies that are rewatchable or
- 35:21Speaker 1: basically you can watch them over and over again and
- 35:23Speaker 1: never really tire of them. They still kind of always
- 35:27Speaker 1: just kind of work with you.
- 35:28Speaker 2: So... That's our topic.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Where would you like to go with it? Do you
- 35:32Speaker 1: want to start with RoboCop, or have we already covered
- 35:34Speaker 1: the basics of your RoboCop love? I think we've milked
- 35:37Speaker 1: the RoboCop tea pretty well. My pail is full of
- 35:40Speaker 1: RoboCop milk.
- 35:42Speaker 2: You might not have been on the... Never mind. I mean,
- 35:44Speaker 2: I guess the question is, where did the fandom start
- 35:46Speaker 2: with RoboCop for you guys? Because I think everyone, when
- 35:49Speaker 2: it comes to their obsessive favorite movies, usually there's some
- 35:52Speaker 2: anecdote that started the passion for it.
- 35:56Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 35:58Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 35:59Speaker 7: It was a movie I really liked when we were
- 36:01Speaker 7: little kids and everything, but it didn't change my life
- 36:03Speaker 7: when I saw it or anything. I remember it was
- 36:05Speaker 7: the first violent movie we were allowed to see, and
- 36:07Speaker 7: it was by accident. It was like our dad let
- 36:10Speaker 7: us rent it, seeing a robot in front, thinking, eh.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Those video boxes. Parents, yeah. The kids have to think.
- 36:19Speaker 6: We saw it in the store and wanted to rent it,
- 36:21Speaker 6: and my dad was like, that's trash. You don't need
- 36:23Speaker 6: to see that.
- 36:23Speaker 2: It's like, ah. That looks awesome.
- 36:26Speaker 6: And my uncle saw it. And I was like, damn,
- 36:28Speaker 6: Robocop's a shit. And then my dad was like, all right,
- 36:31Speaker 6: we're in it. And ever since we saw it, I
- 36:34Speaker 6: just really liked it. You didn't know it changed your
- 36:36Speaker 6: life is what Chris meant to say. He wasn't aware.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Of course it did.
- 36:42Speaker 10: There was everything before that moment and everything after.
- 36:45Speaker 1: So I suppressed the memory of Robocop touching me as
- 36:47Speaker 1: a child. Is that what you're saying? I buried that
- 36:49Speaker 1: deep down?
- 36:52Speaker 2: Anyway. Then.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Did your dad watch it with you? Yeah, my dad
- 36:59Speaker 1: watched it. Was he horrified?
- 37:01Speaker 6: Yeah, it was, you know, it's like we were able
- 37:03Speaker 6: to watch, I felt like we were able to watch Violence,
- 37:07Speaker 6: you know, after that, I guess. We were just like, well.
- 37:09Speaker 2: You're fine, kids.
- 37:10Speaker 6: You've just seen about everything now, so, you know.
- 37:12Speaker 1: We only had to cover our eyes during the steamy scenes,
- 37:15Speaker 1: which there are none in RoboCop. When RoboCop was making
- 37:17Speaker 1: out with the female RoboCop. That was a different movie
- 37:21Speaker 1: I rented.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Wait a minute. I can just imagine your dad sitting
- 37:23Speaker 2: there watching and, you know, when his hand gets blown
- 37:25Speaker 2: off and all that stuff, just sitting there, it's like,
- 37:28Speaker 2: you know, a trickle of sweat coming down like, okay,
- 37:30Speaker 2: is that the most, is that why it's rated R?
- 37:33Speaker 2: Is there something worse? Is there something worse that I'm
- 37:35Speaker 2: going to have to like stop this? Like, what are
- 37:37Speaker 2: they going to see? And just, you know, it keeps
- 37:40Speaker 2: going and going. But really, that's like, that's pretty much
- 37:42Speaker 2: the worst thing in it is like when he's killed.
- 37:45Speaker 2: The car. When the guy gets hit by the car. Oh,
- 37:47Speaker 2: when he gets hit by the car at the Toxic Waste.
- 37:49Speaker 2: That's just funny to me. It's funny, but I'm like,
- 37:52Speaker 2: that's above and beyond normal gore.
- 37:54Speaker 1: They turned a man into stew.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:57Speaker 6: And the other really gory part, when he gets clearance
- 38:01Speaker 6: at the end with his middle finger.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 38:02Speaker 6: And the jugular just splats on him.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Well, I guess when Ed 209... um yeah kills the
- 38:09Speaker 2: executive the guy in the boardroom that's pretty bloody hardcore.
- 38:13Speaker 6: So what i mean there's okay there's five extremely gory scenes.
- 38:15Speaker 10: I mean that's yeah i mean and then there was
- 38:17Speaker 10: my first um introduction to what rape was when they
- 38:23Speaker 10: were chasing the woman down and then that that that
- 38:26Speaker 10: was like oh they do that you know it was
- 38:29Speaker 10: like oh they're So that was a little disturbing, too.
- 38:32Speaker 2: So you're going to say six, I think. It's a
- 38:34Speaker 2: strange phrase, too, for you to say. It's like, that
- 38:36Speaker 2: was my introduction to rape. It's like, here's some rape.
- 38:40Speaker 2: We need more RoboCops, is what we learned from this book.
- 38:43Speaker 7: It truly fits that description of just a movie that
- 38:46Speaker 7: I can watch all the time and not get tired of.
- 38:48Speaker 7: And when we were going to score something, it was like, oh,
- 38:50Speaker 7: it's the first thing that popped out of my mouth.
- 38:53Speaker 10: RoboCop.
- 38:53Speaker 1: I didn't know I had allegiance to him, but I did.
- 38:56Speaker 7: You watch these movies as a kid, and then you
- 38:57Speaker 7: revisit them as an adult, and you're like, oh man,
- 38:59Speaker 7: that movie sucks.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I thought that was great. And it's not one of them.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Some movies just hold up. Like Robocop, Ghostbusters. These movies
- 39:05Speaker 1: are just solid. Always. Nobody's done Ghostbusters.
- 39:09Speaker 6: I was going to say Ghostbusters is like other movies.
- 39:11Speaker 6: That's one that I can just watch sometimes.
- 39:13Speaker 1: That's one I was trying to list off a few
- 39:16Speaker 1: in my head before today. I was just like, yeah,
- 39:20Speaker 1: that's another good one.
- 39:21Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:22Speaker 1: We can bounce around and do some different ones, but See,
- 39:25Speaker 1: I found mine like it wasn't it wasn't necessarily like the,
- 39:29Speaker 1: the stuff that I was even like hardcore into sometimes.
- 39:32Speaker 1: Cause the ones that like were the more culty kind
- 39:34Speaker 1: of movies that I really love still weren't necessarily ones
- 39:37Speaker 1: that I like.
- 39:38Speaker 2: Watched over and over and over again. Like, I don't know.
- 39:40Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty of those that like, You know,
- 39:43Speaker 1: there were those, like, oh, my God, this is, like,
- 39:45Speaker 1: the coolest movie ever. Like, I mean, I can go
- 39:47Speaker 1: back to my Death Race 2000s and my Faster Pussycat
- 39:51Speaker 1: Kill Kill. Like, I had those moments of, this is
- 39:54Speaker 1: the best movie I've ever seen. But even those, like,
- 39:57Speaker 1: as time went on, there were other ones that sort.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Of just replaced it.
- 40:00Speaker 1: And a lot of them were relatively mainstream stuff.
- 40:03Speaker 2: But I don't care.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Like, I mean, people just like to, like, talk smack
- 40:07Speaker 1: about stuff because it becomes popular.
- 40:09Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't care.
- 40:10Speaker 1: It doesn't change it. I can watch Back to the
- 40:13Speaker 1: Future forever. I don't care that it's totally overblown at
- 40:19Speaker 1: this point and everybody talks about it. Everybody's seen it.
- 40:22Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't care. It's still one of
- 40:25Speaker 1: the most entertaining movies ever. If it's on now, I
- 40:29Speaker 1: will get sucked in. An hour and a half will
- 40:32Speaker 1: go by and I'm like, damn, I've seen this movie again.
- 40:34Speaker 10: I think there's categories for me because I was thinking
- 40:39Speaker 10: a lot about this one and there's You know, like
- 40:42Speaker 10: your comfort food movie that you'll just put on and
- 40:45Speaker 10: maybe you'll clean the house or you find it on
- 40:50Speaker 10: TV and you're sucked in and you're still watching it.
- 40:53Speaker 2: That's what happens to me, yeah.
- 40:54Speaker 10: You know, that's the comfy pair of pants movies. And
- 40:57Speaker 10: then there's the.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Comfy Pair of Pants, Peter Travers.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Do they have Thundercats on it? Yes, they do. And
- 41:08Speaker 2: then there are the other movies that are... But I'm
- 41:10Speaker 2: a Comfy Pair of Pants movie and I had a
- 41:12Speaker 2: few Robocop loafs. That was tough for the day. Kicking back.
- 41:16Speaker 10: I have your nostalgia movies that it touched a spot.
- 41:22Speaker 10: in you or with your family or something like that.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Now Greg's trying to figure out how to describe his
- 41:26Speaker 2: categorizations without us making fun of them. That's fine. Too late.
- 41:30Speaker 2: We already thought one.
- 41:31Speaker 10: And then I think the other one... Well, now I've
- 41:35Speaker 10: completely lost track.
- 41:37Speaker 2: That's okay. Yeah, lost track of where I was going
- 41:40Speaker 2: with that. That's completely fine. Because you were touched by
- 41:42Speaker 2: that movie and you're scarred a little bit. Oh, the
- 41:44Speaker 2: other one was... Scarring films?
- 41:47Speaker 10: Yes.
- 41:47Speaker 2: We already did that.
- 41:48Speaker 4: No, uh.
- 41:49Speaker 10: where it becomes kind of an event where people watch
- 41:53Speaker 10: them together.
- 41:53Speaker 2: Because I wrote that one down, too.
- 41:56Speaker 1: I know which one you're probably discussing.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Which one's that? Wizard of Oz. No, but that one was.
- 42:02Speaker 2: You know, a completely different route.
- 42:04Speaker 10: It was Friday.
- 42:06Speaker 2: My roommate.
- 42:06Speaker 10: That's a very different movie. It was like, he's having
- 42:09Speaker 10: a drink, he's putting Friday on. And everybody that had
- 42:13Speaker 10: not seen it or had seen it or was in
- 42:15Speaker 10: the room had to sit down and watch it. And
- 42:17Speaker 10: it had become one of those things where it's just,
- 42:20Speaker 10: I was going to.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Say, in the way of a vent, as well as drinking,
- 42:23Speaker 2: as well as Verhoeven having a total recall.
- 42:26Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Because anybody who's a fan of total recall has played
- 42:29Speaker 2: the total recall drinking game. It's like you take a
- 42:32Speaker 2: swig of beer every time Arnold kills someone, and you
- 42:36Speaker 2: take a shot of whatever hard liquor you want every
- 42:39Speaker 2: time you see the girl with three breasts.
- 42:41Speaker 1: That's just once, right?
- 42:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 42:42Speaker 2: There's twice. She shows up once later on in the
- 42:45Speaker 2: fight scene. Oh, that's right. But, no, it's one of
- 42:48Speaker 2: those things, you play that game, and at first it's like,
- 42:52Speaker 2: it's been like half an hour I've had one sit,
- 42:54Speaker 2: and then by like the fourth act, you're gone. But,
- 42:59Speaker 2: I don't know, Total Recall is just, you know, Verhoeven
- 43:03Speaker 2: is really good. It's just like creating an entire world,
- 43:08Speaker 2: and I don't know, I want Ronnie Cox in charge
- 43:11Speaker 2: of whatever world that exists, be it Mars or Detroit
- 43:15Speaker 2: or whatever the case may be. but I don't know
- 43:18Speaker 2: it's just such a silly movie when it comes to
- 43:22Speaker 2: Total Recall and I never saw the remake that they
- 43:26Speaker 2: had last year I heard.
- 43:27Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad I mean it's definitely a different
- 43:31Speaker 1: movie I guess it does again that was right around
- 43:36Speaker 1: that whole remake time when we had our big discussion
- 43:38Speaker 1: and I was like it's one of those same ones
- 43:40Speaker 1: and I'm like it probably did the best thing you
- 43:42Speaker 1: could do because it takes a very rough idea of
- 43:45Speaker 1: what happens in that first one And even changes a
- 43:48Speaker 1: lot of stuff like that.
- 43:49Speaker 2: I mean, there is no Mars on it. But, I mean,
- 43:51Speaker 2: it just.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Really loosely takes the story and just goes its own way.
- 43:56Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's probably what you need to do
- 43:57Speaker 1: in a remake. Because there's no reason to, like, shot
- 44:00Speaker 1: for shot remake Total Recall.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Like, that just seems stupid.
- 44:05Speaker 10: But the Running Man.
- 44:07Speaker 2: The Running Man needs to be made right, really. That's
- 44:10Speaker 2: a good story. I'm sorry.
- 44:11Speaker 10: You don't have Richard Dawson anymore, though, so you can't.
- 44:14Speaker 2: What I was going to say, I'll add a fourth
- 44:16Speaker 2: category to your listings. It's movies to where I watch
- 44:19Speaker 2: them time and time again because you always pick up
- 44:22Speaker 2: something new with them. It's like movies to where they're
- 44:24Speaker 2: so saturated with visuals or characters interacting or something like that.
- 44:30Speaker 2: You always pick up something.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:32Speaker 2: You could link that to, like, the Star Wars movies
- 44:34Speaker 2: because they exist in such a universe all around. It's
- 44:37Speaker 2: like you've got all those little and sillier characters, you know,
- 44:40Speaker 2: that they made figures for even back in, like, the
- 44:42Speaker 2: early 80s. But, you know, just the... Every scene is
- 44:48Speaker 2: so full of just stuff. But, I mean, it doesn't
- 44:52Speaker 2: necessarily even have to be movies like that, but, like,
- 44:54Speaker 2: Coin of Scotsy is one where I like to watch
- 44:56Speaker 2: it over and over because it's just... looking at just
- 45:00Speaker 2: the little moments that are captured on film and, you know,
- 45:03Speaker 2: wondering what has occurred before, what's occurred after, how is
- 45:07Speaker 2: he winning, why, basically, you know, he shot thousands of
- 45:10Speaker 2: hours of just footage for, like, these non-narratives. It's like,
- 45:13Speaker 2: why that one scene? It's like, do you like the
- 45:15Speaker 2: way this person looks and all this stuff? Criterion just
- 45:18Speaker 2: did the DVD, or the Blu-ray, and they had the
- 45:22Speaker 2: early test footage for Coin of Scotsy that they'd done,
- 45:26Speaker 2: and something I found really fascinating is, like, there's this
- 45:29Speaker 2: Near the end, there's this guy who walks into an
- 45:31Speaker 2: ice cream parlor, has a great 70s look. He's just
- 45:34Speaker 2: buying an ice cream cone, and then he walks off.
- 45:38Speaker 2: And that's all that they have within the film. But
- 45:42Speaker 2: on this extra footage, when you watch it, you actually
- 45:45Speaker 2: see it unedited. And before that, he was in a
- 45:49Speaker 2: strip club. And so he's recording across the street, and
- 45:52Speaker 2: you see this guy come out of a strip club,
- 45:53Speaker 2: and he just wanders into the place, and he gets
- 45:55Speaker 2: an ice cream cone, and he walks out, and he
- 45:57Speaker 2: goes into a different strip club on the same street.
- 45:59Speaker 2: I'm like, that's so funny. I never would have pictured
- 46:01Speaker 2: that's what happened before or after that scene. It's just like,
- 46:04Speaker 2: I'm done with one. I'm going to get myself an
- 46:06Speaker 2: ice cream before the other one. It's just like little
- 46:08Speaker 2: stuff like that. The more you watch it, the more
- 46:12Speaker 2: you really pick up on it.
- 46:14Speaker 1: Live the dream.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Ice cream and strip.
- 46:17Speaker 10: Yeah, you're in a strip club and go, Man, I
- 46:20Speaker 10: could use some ice cream.
- 46:21Speaker 2: That's probably not a good sign for that strip club.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Get some sweet, sweet dairy.
- 46:26Speaker 2: But you say Back to the Future. Back to the
- 46:27Speaker 2: Future 2, for me, has more rewatchability. Because I just
- 46:31Speaker 2: love all the inside jokes they've thrown in everywhere. Especially
- 46:34Speaker 2: in the whole beginning sequence when they're in 2015. Just
- 46:38Speaker 2: all the mockery that they make of the 80s.
- 46:41Speaker 1: I like that one more than most people. That's the one,
- 46:43Speaker 1: for years, everybody hated.
- 46:45Speaker 9: Which.
- 46:46Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, to me, that one's just so...
- 46:48Speaker 2: I can watch that more frequently than I can the
- 46:50Speaker 2: first one.
- 46:51Speaker 1: The first one just works all on its own. To me,
- 46:54Speaker 1: the second one is definitely.
- 46:56Speaker 2: That bridge movie.
- 46:58Speaker 1: It cannot exist on its own, especially because it goes
- 47:01Speaker 1: into the first movie. So it has to be part
- 47:03Speaker 1: of at least these two movies, if not the trilogy.
- 47:07Speaker 2: But... Like, I don't know.
- 47:08Speaker 1: To me, it's like that first one is so self-contained
- 47:11Speaker 1: and is still, like, so smartly put together, even on
- 47:14Speaker 1: its own. Like, the fact that he was still putting
- 47:16Speaker 1: in his own inside jokes within the first movie. Like,
- 47:19Speaker 1: it hadn't even become a thing yet, and he was
- 47:21Speaker 1: still working in tiny little references along the way.
- 47:24Speaker 2: I mean, that's when I gave credit to Zemeckis.
- 47:28Speaker 1: Like, he was just really skilled at doing that kind
- 47:30Speaker 1: of stuff pretty early on. I wish he would have
- 47:33Speaker 1: kept shooting live action movies. At least this year he
- 47:35Speaker 1: came back and did a live action movie, which I.
- 47:37Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 47:38Speaker 1: He just left it behind for so long there.
- 47:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 47:42Speaker 1: I wish he would just start doing those again because
- 47:45Speaker 1: I don't like the weird motion capture creepy animation stuff.
- 47:49Speaker 2: No offense to him.
- 47:50Speaker 10: I think they could make a horror movie with that
- 47:52Speaker 10: motion capture because it's scary.
- 47:54Speaker 2: It's horrific. Polar Express was his, correct?
- 47:57Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 47:58Speaker 2: I remember I just had my wisdom teeth cut out
- 48:01Speaker 2: and we went to go see that. So I was
- 48:03Speaker 2: just like on a lot of medicine and my mom
- 48:06Speaker 2: just drugged me and I was just like.
- 48:10Speaker 7: Did you whisper that like that?
- 48:15Speaker 2: I think I might have, but I don't know. Because
- 48:18Speaker 2: my mom at the end of the movie asked me,
- 48:19Speaker 2: she said, did you take too much medicine? And I said, why?
- 48:23Speaker 2: And she goes, just wondering. I remember that conversation. So
- 48:25Speaker 2: I wondered, just talking the whole time on the screen.
- 48:28Speaker 2: Because I remember the whole scene at the end, just
- 48:30Speaker 2: to where you have this weird, it's like this communist
- 48:34Speaker 2: regime to where the elves are all singing to Samson.
- 48:39Speaker 4: Fuck.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Honey, you're creeping me out. Stop it. Settle down over there.
- 48:44Speaker 2: So I just imagine like, you know, all these kids
- 48:46Speaker 2: are just in this theater just enamored with Santa and
- 48:49Speaker 2: just quietly in the back there. Holy fuck.
- 48:53Speaker 1: Adult voice. Completely freaked out.
- 48:57Speaker 10: They changed the title to Get Your Wisdom Teeth Out First.
- 49:01Speaker 2: It's like all my fond memories of movies have happened
- 49:03Speaker 2: when I've been on too much pain medicine after surgery.
- 49:06Speaker 1: That's true.
- 49:06Speaker 2: You know, I like... Because remember I told you last summer, actually,
- 49:10Speaker 2: I cried happiness, like tears of joy when I was
- 49:13Speaker 2: watching Saturday Night Fever.
- 49:15Speaker 17: Such a beautiful film it just like hit me because
- 49:20Speaker 17: like it was like during one of the dance scenes
- 49:22Speaker 17: i'm like why why doesn't why isn't this anymore why
- 49:26Speaker 17: what happened to disco.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Why why don't i just i always made fun of
- 49:30Speaker 2: it until i saw this it was like my eyes
- 49:33Speaker 2: were opened you know it's just like It was a
- 49:35Speaker 2: beautiful art. It was a beautiful way of expressing yourself.
- 49:38Speaker 2: Why is it dead? Why did it have to die?
- 49:42Speaker 2: Just say no is the message we've learned. And then,
- 49:45Speaker 2: you know, I went back and re-watched it, and I
- 49:47Speaker 2: was like, this is a fun movie, but, man, I was, like, gone.
- 49:50Speaker 1: This could have took you on a journey.
- 49:54Speaker 2: It did.
- 49:57Speaker 10: You, like, called up Travolta and, like, this Scientology stuff.
- 50:01Speaker 9: Yes.
- 50:03Speaker 2: You know you've won me over with your dancing, so
- 50:05Speaker 2: go ahead. Give me the details here.
- 50:07Speaker 13: Sign me up.
- 50:08Speaker 6: The ancient art of disco dancing.
- 50:11Speaker 2: Which I'd like to think even better. Probably if somebody
- 50:13Speaker 2: had walked in at that point in time, I was
- 50:15Speaker 2: just sitting there like, oh, this is great. Like, the
- 50:17Speaker 2: DVD's just on the menu.
- 50:18Speaker 4: The whole time.
- 50:19Speaker 2: I never watched the movie. It just sat on the
- 50:21Speaker 2: menu for like three hours. The TV's off. It's like,
- 50:24Speaker 2: it's so beautiful. We're at Disco Go. Oh, are you okay? Beautiful.
- 50:30Speaker 2: I think one that.
- 50:32Speaker 10: has to be on included for me, for probably most
- 50:37Speaker 10: people is a Christmas story.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 50:40Speaker 2: It, um, I can come into that movie at any
- 50:43Speaker 2: point and do every year now.
- 50:44Speaker 10: Well, yeah, you know, we had, it was on a
- 50:49Speaker 10: showtime as a kid. Um, and it had actually been
- 50:54Speaker 10: on the end of a movie that we had taped
- 50:56Speaker 10: and we saw the first 45 minutes of it. I
- 50:59Speaker 10: didn't know what it was. And, We loved it, so
- 51:02Speaker 10: we kept trying to catch it. And we ended up
- 51:05Speaker 10: on the same tape taping it right afterwards, the movie.
- 51:11Speaker 10: And whenever I would watch it, I would watch the
- 51:14Speaker 10: first part that I already knew and the whole second
- 51:19Speaker 10: recording of it. And then it was gone. Our tape
- 51:22Speaker 10: was gone. You couldn't find it. It was out of print.
- 51:25Speaker 10: It was out of print for a long time.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Why didn't you just stream it off the internet?
- 51:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 51:29Speaker 10: And then TBS picked it up and, you.
- 51:32Speaker 2: Know, you didn't have to stream it. They streamed it
- 51:34Speaker 2: for you. For me growing up, it was always Christmas
- 51:36Speaker 2: Vacation just because we had, I mean, that was my family.
- 51:40Speaker 2: It was just the odd old relatives to where there
- 51:44Speaker 2: was one member in our family where they always had
- 51:46Speaker 2: to have everybody over and, you know, my dad is
- 51:49Speaker 2: one of seven and I'm one of 18 cousins. So
- 51:52Speaker 2: it's like these huge family gatherings and I'm just like,
- 51:55Speaker 2: that's so damn accurate. It's ridiculous. Like, all these people
- 51:59Speaker 2: that they have in, you know, the little, like, you know,
- 52:01Speaker 2: aunt Bethany, it's like the old Alzheimer's, you know, relatives,
- 52:06Speaker 2: like that's always there. And just the relatives to where
- 52:09Speaker 2: they just wrap shit up and give it to you. Because,
- 52:12Speaker 2: you know, it's like I had an uncle or a
- 52:15Speaker 2: great uncle who, um, was a dentist. And he would
- 52:19Speaker 2: actually just give everyone, like, wrapped up bags of, like,
- 52:21Speaker 2: dental stuff. Like, when you go to the dentist and
- 52:23Speaker 2: they give you, like, a little, like, toothpaste and a
- 52:25Speaker 2: little toothbrush, he'd give you, like, a wrapping of, like...
- 52:27Speaker 2: It would be, like, four or five toothbrushes, a bunch of, like,
- 52:30Speaker 2: toothpaste and floss. You cheap bastard. You got these for free.
- 52:34Speaker 2: But he would usually... Like, the weird thing was there
- 52:36Speaker 2: was always candy in with it. Like, I kid you not.
- 52:38Speaker 2: It's like, you'd have... toothbrushes and toothpaste but always be
- 52:41Speaker 2: like odd candy like not the stuff you find on
- 52:44Speaker 2: shelves be like lemon heads and stuff to where you
- 52:46Speaker 2: don't typically see that at Walgreens you find it maybe
- 52:48Speaker 2: like you know ball games when you're going to tee
- 52:50Speaker 2: ball games as a kid or something but you don't
- 52:52Speaker 2: see lemon heads on the shelves.
- 52:54Speaker 1: Normally I would think he was just like planning ahead
- 52:56Speaker 1: and just giving kids candy so he can make money
- 52:58Speaker 1: off of them later but I'm assuming you guys got
- 53:00Speaker 1: a deal anyway so I mean that doesn't even make
- 53:02Speaker 1: sense for me to.
- 53:03Speaker 2: Still make money off the insurance anyway I suppose I
- 53:06Speaker 2: mean that's just weird though that's like giving somebody like
- 53:08Speaker 2: I don't know just a packet of antibiotics and like
- 53:12Speaker 2: some feces. If you're a doctor or something, that's just odd.
- 53:16Speaker 2: I think the next Christmas. Yeah. I wouldn't even bother.
- 53:20Speaker 2: You know what? I'm good. Uncle Jimmy. I'm fine. I'm
- 53:23Speaker 2: talking about that too.
- 53:24Speaker 7: I think that's just the dentist token of peace that
- 53:27Speaker 7: he's used to giving all children.
- 53:28Speaker 2: Like, I'm sorry.
- 53:28Speaker 1: I traumatized you. You have some candy.
- 53:31Speaker 2: Here's a toothbrush.
- 53:32Speaker 1: He just gives it to you. Your dreams have come true.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Toothpaste. Have fun.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Well, while we're on the, the, vacation thing that was
- 53:41Speaker 1: uh one of mine was the original national lampoon's vacation
- 53:44Speaker 1: was and that one that one sort of stems from
- 53:47Speaker 1: there was again like now i i bitch about comedies
- 53:50Speaker 1: because i think most of them now are dumb and
- 53:52Speaker 1: i just wrote a whole big piece about dumb modern
- 53:54Speaker 1: comedies but like the those there was that run in
- 53:59Speaker 1: like you know late 70s through the 80s that like
- 54:02Speaker 1: i don't know again i don't know that they were
- 54:03Speaker 1: better or if they just hit me at the right
- 54:05Speaker 1: time Or I was just at a place where I
- 54:08Speaker 1: didn't care.
- 54:08Speaker 2: How dumb they were.
- 54:09Speaker 1: But that one I don't think. That one is well written. And, like,
- 54:12Speaker 1: that's one of those that they started playing on cable
- 54:15Speaker 1: right around that time. And, like, we watched it at
- 54:18Speaker 1: our house all the time. And it's another one of
- 54:20Speaker 1: the few that, like, again, like I've said before, there's
- 54:25Speaker 1: times when, like, my dad has no idea why I
- 54:27Speaker 1: am the way I am. But every once in a
- 54:29Speaker 1: while there would be a weird connect.
- 54:31Speaker 2: And, like, that was one of those.
- 54:32Speaker 1: And, like, that was on so much that we would
- 54:34Speaker 1: start doing lines from it. Like, we would just, like,
- 54:37Speaker 1: to this day, we'll be at some sort of stupid
- 54:39Speaker 1: family gathering. And I will say, real tomato ketchup. And
- 54:43Speaker 1: I can hear from the other side of the room,
- 54:44Speaker 1: nothing but the best.
- 54:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the same way with my family at Christmas. Because, like,
- 54:49Speaker 2: you know, my great aunt Olima will sit down. And,
- 54:51Speaker 2: you know, it's just, Olima, what would you like?
- 54:54Speaker 4: Oh, what?
- 54:54Speaker 2: Oh, and then my brother will just lean over and go. Grace,
- 54:57Speaker 2: she passed away 30 years ago. It's just.
- 55:02Speaker 2: The constant... Yeah, just referencing it. I mean, I'll give
- 55:06Speaker 2: it to the National Lampoon's vacation movies. They pretty much
- 55:09Speaker 2: hit it accurate. I mean, Vegas is... Those two are...
- 55:12Speaker 2: And Europe.
- 55:13Speaker 10: Those two are the peaks right there. Europe for me
- 55:15Speaker 10: was the one I saw the most, I think.
- 55:16Speaker 1: It's one in three. And Vegas, I've only seen like once.
- 55:21Speaker 2: It's... All right. Again.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I knew people that liked that one that like came
- 55:25Speaker 1: in later and was like, that one's hilarious. And I'm like,
- 55:28Speaker 1: it's funny, but it pales in comparison to like the
- 55:31Speaker 1: other two are classic, you know, one in three is.
- 55:34Speaker 2: The way to go. And I don't know, Europe, Europe
- 55:36Speaker 2: has problem. I don't have a VHS tape. I still have.
- 55:41Speaker 2: And this isn't really like a movie that was released
- 55:43Speaker 2: in theaters, but you said vacation, um, growing up. I mean,
- 55:47Speaker 2: we could watch that cause it's an R rated film
- 55:50Speaker 2: and we didn't have much cable, but, um, Tiny Toons,
- 55:54Speaker 2: How I Spent My Summer Vacation. I remember that. It
- 55:57Speaker 2: is a VHS I've seen so many times. I still
- 56:00Speaker 2: have the tradition or superstition, whatever you call it, watching
- 56:03Speaker 2: it every single summer. I still have the same tape
- 56:06Speaker 2: I had from when I was like 11 or whenever
- 56:08Speaker 2: I got it. And that's something I can still quote it.
- 56:10Speaker 2: Just because the older you get, I like it whenever
- 56:13Speaker 2: you can watch cartoons and as a kid you don't
- 56:18Speaker 2: pick up on all the jokes, the way they're like
- 56:19Speaker 2: winking at adults. But that one, Not all of them
- 56:22Speaker 2: have that, but the Warner Brothers stuff always had that.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Even the old ones had so many jokes that weren't
- 56:28Speaker 1: for kids, and they continued on with Tiny Toons, and
- 56:31Speaker 1: I think it got even better with Animania.
- 56:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just the reason it clicked with me
- 56:35Speaker 2: is the whole sequence of Plucky going with Hampton's family
- 56:38Speaker 2: to Happy World Land. I had a friend to where
- 56:41Speaker 2: we would go on road trips together, and there's this
- 56:43Speaker 2: little moment to where Plucky's sitting in the back just
- 56:48Speaker 2: like drenched in sweat. And he's like, hey, pops, do
- 56:50Speaker 2: you think you could turn on the air conditioning? He's like,
- 56:52Speaker 2: air conditioning? Waste gas. I'll just crack a window. And
- 56:54Speaker 2: she's like, don't you dare, Wade. People think we can't
- 56:56Speaker 2: afford air conditioning. He's like, that was my friend's family.
- 56:59Speaker 2: Get on. And just, you know, enjoying these trips, but
- 57:03Speaker 2: at the same time, it's like, you know, I'm going
- 57:05Speaker 2: because I wanted to go with my friend. It was like, cool,
- 57:07Speaker 2: I'm going on a road trip with a friend. But
- 57:09Speaker 2: it's like, they're insane. I'm miserable. I can't say anything
- 57:12Speaker 2: because I'm a guest.
- 57:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 57:15Speaker 2: I was totally there every single summer, and it just
- 57:18Speaker 2: clicked with me.
- 57:19Speaker 1: It's the kind of trip you'd never take as an adult.
- 57:21Speaker 7: You'd never choose a group where you liked one person
- 57:23Speaker 7: and everyone else drove you crazy. The majority of people
- 57:26Speaker 7: were just maniacs. Only when you're a kid when you're
- 57:29Speaker 7: trapped and you have a vehicle where you find yourself
- 57:31Speaker 7: in that kind of horrible nightmare.
- 57:33Speaker 1: That's true.
- 57:34Speaker 13: One for me was so I married an ax murderer,
- 57:36Speaker 13: and that was a nice one.
- 57:38Speaker 4: Oh, gosh.
- 57:39Speaker 2: What led you to that group?
- 57:42Speaker 13: Don't even remember anymore.
- 57:44Speaker 18: It became so ingrained. But then it was just, you know,
- 57:47Speaker 18: constant quoting. He pans now. And it's just, it's hilarious.
- 57:54Speaker 18: You know, the moment when he's playing with the Thighmaster,
- 57:56Speaker 18: he goes shooting across the room.
- 57:58Speaker 1: It's fantastic. That, again, was probably him at his peak.
- 58:03Speaker 1: Because the more he made movies, the worse he got.
- 58:06Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 58:07Speaker 5: Really, yeah.
- 58:08Speaker 1: I never got tired of those scenes with his dad, though.
- 58:10Speaker 1: Those are the best.
- 58:11Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I think that's the ones everybody likes.
- 58:13Speaker 10: Well, what's good about it is you got enough that
- 58:15Speaker 10: you wanted more, but they didn't give you more.
- 58:17Speaker 2: If they would have given you more, it would have
- 58:18Speaker 2: gotten old.
- 58:18Speaker 1: See, and if he made it now, it would just
- 58:21Speaker 1: be nothing but that. Again, he doesn't understand pulling back
- 58:25Speaker 1: off of anything comedically. And then, I mean, now I
- 58:28Speaker 1: feel like that's all he does is just like take
- 58:30Speaker 1: a joke and beat it to death for an hour
- 58:32Speaker 1: and a half.
- 58:33Speaker 2: And he hadn't gotten to that point yet. So yeah,
- 58:35Speaker 2: that was, that was early in his movie run. So that's,
- 58:38Speaker 2: that's for the best real. Yeah. And the way of
- 58:41Speaker 2: like this group thinking about that and the way of
- 58:44Speaker 2: group movies, it's really common for a group of my
- 58:47Speaker 2: friends and I to get together and watch beyond the
- 58:49Speaker 2: valley of the dolls.
- 58:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 58:50Speaker 2: I don't know why. It's just, I think because there's
- 58:52Speaker 2: just so much going on in that film. Um, And just,
- 58:58Speaker 2: Roger Ebert's just so damned clever. Both him and just
- 59:01Speaker 2: Russ Meyer's direction. There's just a lot about that movie
- 59:05Speaker 2: that just like clicks and then that's the whole thing
- 59:09Speaker 2: is if you haven't seen that before it's like you
- 59:11Speaker 2: have no idea how much Austin Powers is referencing that
- 59:15Speaker 2: film throughout the course of it so I always.
- 59:19Speaker 1: Get that mixed up with Beyond the Valley of the
- 59:21Speaker 1: Ultra Vixens.
- 59:22Speaker 2: What's that's another Russ Meyer but that's one I haven't
- 59:26Speaker 2: seen that was like later in his career.
- 59:27Speaker 1: That one doesn't have a e-bird so okay He had
- 59:31Speaker 1: weird periods, like his early stuff and then his later stuff.
- 59:34Speaker 1: Like he was like golden in that middle era there where,
- 59:37Speaker 1: I mean, again, the stuff gets lumped in for the
- 59:40Speaker 1: women that are in it. But I'm like, if you
- 59:42Speaker 1: watch it, like he made some really good movies and
- 59:45Speaker 1: he actually shot some really good footage that he never
- 59:47Speaker 1: gets credit.
- 59:47Speaker 2: For because they close that they're barely wearing.
- 59:50Speaker 1: But like he, I still think he had a run
- 59:53Speaker 1: where he put out some really good stuff, but don't.
- 59:55Speaker 2: Start with the early stuff because the early stuff is just, boring.
- 59:58Speaker 2: I was going to say, Faster Pussycat Kill Bill is
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: about as early as you want to start. I don't remember.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: It was back-to-back like that and Lorna. Lorna's really good.
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: Nobody's seen Lorna, but again, that run, he was making
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: us right in the middle where he was making good movies.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: By the end, they just become lightweight porn. In the beginning,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: he started so early that he couldn't show anything. Those
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: early ones are almost like the old, it's almost like
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: those weird old.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Supposedly racy movies. Well, even older than that.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Like, the old, like, Nickelodeon kind of movies where it's like, oh,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: she's wearing a nightie.
- 1:00:34Speaker 17: I mean, you know.
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: Show me your gams. Yeah, it's like they couldn't show anything.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: But, like, he would still set it up like it
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: was almost like a porn setup. Like, something was going
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: to happen enough they never does. So, it's like, he
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: was still trying to make that movie and they wouldn't
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: let him yet.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: And then later, he did make that movie.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: So, it's that middle run where he sort of got
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: over that and just started actually, like, telling the story that, like, yeah, he...
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: He doesn't get credit for the good ones, but you've
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: got to know how to pick his movies. Yeah, it's just,
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: there's so.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: Much in Dolls. I mean, just with the music and everything,
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: and Z-Man alone makes that movie. Because, God, every time
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: I see Z-Man, I always think back. I got drugged
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: to a production of Troyes and Cressida at the UofL Playhouse. And,
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: I mean, Shakespeare can be really tedious if people don't
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: know what they're doing. And Collegiate is just... bad and
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: I don't know why but for some reason in this
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: production they were having guys play even the female characters
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: they were old school and I could appreciate that but
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: they were wearing like these plastic novelty breasts like you
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: pick up at Caulfields or something and they were wearing
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: like this see through cloth to where it was just
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: like I can't take this serious and there was just
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: A whole scene where I can't remember which character it
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: is in the play, but they're talking to Helen of Troy.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: And just my friend leaned over and just goes, I
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: am Superwoman. And just as soon as that clicked in
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: my mind, I had to excuse myself and go out
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: to the lobby. I'm sure they heard me laughing in
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: the lobby all the way into the theater. And I
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: just feel bad. But, you know, it's just... There are
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: just some movies to where you have those anecdotes associated with,
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: not so much the movie, but like a movie reference
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: that a friend made at just the right point in
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: time in life, where it's like, I'll always remember that
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: anecdote with that movie, and it just sort of makes it, too.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: So what you said is your most rewatchable movie is Supergirl.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: All right, that's what I heard. Yeah, sure. You love Supergirl.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: And Space Cowboys, me and Fred get together. And Curly Sue.
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:02:47Speaker 10: One that I just watched the other night. It's a
- 1:02:49Speaker 10: comfort one for me. And because comedy-wise, it's got everything from, well,
- 1:02:57Speaker 10: every form of comedy I think is in it is
- 1:02:59Speaker 10: in Clue. It's really one of the best written and
- 1:03:03Speaker 10: best performed comedies I.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: Think I've ever seen.
- 1:03:06Speaker 10: And everybody is on top of their game, I think,
- 1:03:09Speaker 10: throughout the whole movie.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: That's one of those that I think it took.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: 20 years for people to start coming to that conclusion.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: Cause nobody liked it when he came out, it did terrible.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: And like, even people who saw it were just like,
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: what the hell is this?
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: And like, and why do I only get one ending
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: in which you didn't get the three until you get
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: the video.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: So, I mean, it was like, I don't know. It
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: didn't like, there are some great performances. I'll watch Madeline
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: common anything, but like there and.
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: Tim Curry, like, I mean, there's some great performances in there,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: but like, it just did not click with the public
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: at the time. Um, But it's funny, now I will
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: hear a whole new generation of people, and I think
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: it's like those kids that caught it really early on
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: cable and kind of grew up with it, too. And
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I think now they're just like, they reference it as
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: this great comedy from.
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: When they were a kid, but it took that long.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Before people came around and started going, well, you know, actually,
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: it's pretty.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Well put together. In New York and L.A. and some theaters,
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: they actually do the stage show like they do with
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: Rocky Horror.
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: Which, I mean, again, I can see that. It lends
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: itself to that.
- 1:04:11Speaker 10: You know, there were, that was, I noticed this past time,
- 1:04:15Speaker 10: there are a lot of parallels between Rocky Horror and
- 1:04:18Speaker 10: Clue anyways. If you watch them, I'm not going to
- 1:04:21Speaker 10: get into it, maybe.
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: A different episode. It was a big dark house and
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: there were people in there.
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:04:26Speaker 10: And a broken down car and people are dying and
- 1:04:28Speaker 10: Tim Curry. But, yeah, it's, yeah, I was kind of
- 1:04:32Speaker 10: taking mental notes. I was like, what, what, you know,
- 1:04:34Speaker 10: you can almost see a lot of parallels in the
- 1:04:36Speaker 10: two of them.
- 1:04:37Speaker 6: But, Maybe people didn't know what to do with it
- 1:04:40Speaker 6: because you never thought when you're playing the game Clue, like,
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: this is so funny.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: This is so funny.
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: I'm going to murder you in the library with a rope.
- 1:04:49Speaker 6: This is hilarious.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it is weird if you think about
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: it that they went comedy with it. Like, you could
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: almost see them doing, like, a movie of the week
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know? Like, a really self-serious, like,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: you know, a bad, like, knockoff Agatha Christie kind of.
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: made-for-TV movie almost.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: But, like, Taking it comedy and then bringing in Tim
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Curry and the whole run there.
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: You see how well it goes over when they do
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: serious battleships. That was a classic.
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: In 20 years, they're going to come around.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: You just wait.
- 1:05:23Speaker 10: If people are watching that in 20 years, I'm going
- 1:05:25Speaker 10: to stop watching movies.
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to make a Don't Wake Daddy film.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: That could be a horror film. I can't wait until
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: the new.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: IMAX 3D Guess Who. I'm waiting until that happens.
- 1:05:44Speaker 6: Do you ever see people out in the real world
- 1:05:46Speaker 6: that you swear straight from a Guess Who?
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Yeah. I flipped you down the other night.
- 1:05:51Speaker 6: They still perfectly represent a person with a mustache.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: It's new.
- 1:05:55Speaker 6: I swear.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Because you can slide the cards in and out, and
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: I've always thought a dozen times over it would be
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: really fun to have some movie geek friends come over
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: and have character actors on there. You've got Jeffrey Jones
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: and Dan Hedaya and Madeline Kahn. Everybody's in there.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: Can we put this together and start marketing? I'm sure
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: we'll get sued, but when does that stop us? I
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: say we do that.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Sounds good. We can hold down exclusive.
- 1:06:20Speaker 6: We can call it You Know Who.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: That one guy. There we go, that one guy. You
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: know the one guy. Yeah, I think that's the way
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: to go. Or what a character or something like that.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: That would be fun.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm trying to think. Everybody pretty much had
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: a great deal of work before and after Clue, save
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: whoever plays Miss White. Because, I mean, Martin Mull, I mean,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: he's had a lot of goofiness. I mean, my favorite
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Martin Mull is still Gene Parmesan from Arrested Development. But,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: you know, Madeline Kahn and Eileen Brennan, of course, Christopher Lloyd,
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: you know, really everybody, save... And we're all going to
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: blank on whoever the actress is that even played. Eileen Brennan?
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: Is that her name? No, that was... No, that's Peacock.
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: It was Peacock. Why was that the game?
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: Mrs.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: White is... Yeah, no. Leslie Ann Warren?
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Sorry, IMDB didn't look it up.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's... Mrs. White is Madeline Kahn. No, Madeline Kahn is.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Ms.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: Scarlet isn't... No, no, no.
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: No, it's Leslie Ann Warren. Never mind.
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: I was.
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: You're right. Because, yeah.
- 1:07:31Speaker 11: Okay.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: Never mind, then. The maid wasn't anybody.
- 1:07:33Speaker 10: No, you're right.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: That was Colleen Camp, wasn't it? I don't know.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: It's sad that I can tell you who the maid is.
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: But, yeah, it was Leslie Ann Warren was Ms... Ms. Scarlet.
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: Ms. Scarlet.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: Okay, not to be... Okay, I almost wanted to go
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: say Leslie Ann Down. Welcome back to ClueCast. Yeah, okay.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Take a snack, Rick.
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: What?
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: Well, I suppose I'm obligated to say I've seen Dick
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Tracy a couple times. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: If you guys have missed the previous episode, he's got
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: an obsessive problem.
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: It's called Dick Tracy. Which episode was that that I
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: admit to?
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Probably at the Oscar party because we're sitting very close
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: to the shrine that is the.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: Did we go into the Dick Tracy room?
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: You showed it off to some of the other people,
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: but we didn't do... I told you we were going
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: to do a Dick Tracy episode, and we need to
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: just do it from in the middle of the Dick
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Tracy room. We can just set up a card table.
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: They have no idea. Andrew walked in and just said,
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: Jesus fuck, this is creepy. Yeah.
- 1:08:34Speaker 6: No, it was... You gave me a heads up. Just
- 1:08:36Speaker 6: tell me how obsessed you were.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I always prep people.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: They need it, really.
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: Just so you know. It's like, you know, the three
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: things about my house. It's like, I don't let people
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: wear shoes in there just because, you know, you're getting
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: the same pee that's on, like, bathroom floors and the
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: carpet and that. That's weird, too. But feel free. And,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: you know, I got cats in case you're allergic, and
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: I kind of like Dick Tracy. So those are the
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: three heads up. Kind of like Dick Tracy.
- 1:09:00Speaker 9: Bit.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: Just so you know.
- 1:09:00Speaker 9: Oh, man.
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: There is not a room in the world that has
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: more Dick Tracy in it.
- 1:09:05Speaker 5: Is there?
- 1:09:05Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: I can't imagine. Is there a Dick Tracy museum somewhere?
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: There used to be, but it's sadly closed.
- 1:09:11Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: So. They relocated it to your house.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: Oh. You have the best ratio of most Dick Tracy
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: and least pee.
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: It does.
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: There seems something wrong with that.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: Seems like you need to see a doctor about that.
- 1:09:26Speaker 10: But, you know, cats walk around in their own excrement,
- 1:09:31Speaker 10: but you won't let people that have walked around in
- 1:09:33Speaker 10: people excrement.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: No, but they lick their paws. So if I licked
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: my shoes, you'd let me walk around your house? Yes. Okay.
- 1:09:39Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: Sounds like a challenge. Future episode right there. I'm never
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: going to. All right. Well, there's plenty of others. I'm
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: just going to throw some out. We'll see.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: I mean, there was one that the more I thought
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: about it, I was like, oh, my God. It became
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: so ingrained with my childhood, and it's another one of
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: those that as I got older, I not only liked
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: it more, I came to appreciate it so much more.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
- 1:10:07Speaker 8: I understand.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: I watched that.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Tons as a kid, but it was years later, I went,
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: oh my god, this is genius.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: The stuff that's going on that are.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Just sort of laid right under the surface. It's right
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: there for you to see if you're paying attention.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: But there's some creepy stuff going on.
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: Some really weird dialogue that gets worked in very casually
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: that you're like, wait, did he just say that?
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:10:32Speaker 11: Okay.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: And see, that's something I didn't like about the Tim
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Burton one is, I mean, that's one of the things, but,
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: you know, when you watch the old Gene Wilder Willy
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, it's like, it's not until
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: you're an adult that you realize, okay, this is kind
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: of clever. They put some really creepy stuff almost sort
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: of under the carpet here. It's very, very subtle, whereas
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: in the Johnny Depp one, it's just blatant. It's just
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: blatantly trying to be creepy and trying to be eccentric
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: and I mean, that was one of the things. The
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: other thing is it just becomes the Johnny Depp show
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: after a while. Every movie with Johnny Depp in it.
- 1:11:05Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: Enough that he has to retire.
- 1:11:10Speaker 10: Edward Scissorhands, it's not. There's so much of.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: That that's not about him. That was before he had
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: the turn.
- 1:11:14Speaker 10: Right, right.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: That was pre-E. Ed Wood was probably the turning point. No, no.
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: Helena Bonham Carter was the turning point.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I've on many an episode pinned it on her. That's
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: where it all changes. Hell in a bottom scapegoat.
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: Homewrecker is how I refer to it. Anyway, just saying.
- 1:11:33Speaker 5: Just done it twice.
- 1:11:34Speaker 11: All right.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: But, I mean, while we're on that, if we go
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: back further, like a lot of his stuff early on,
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: Beetlejuice was another one of mine.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: Beetlejuice and Pee-wee's Big Adventure. I can watch any of those.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: Like, yeah, without even thinking about it, I will just
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: be engrossed in it.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: Because, again, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, it's one of those movies,
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: like I was talking about earlier, to where the screen
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: is saturated with just silliness, especially when you're in his house.
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: And it's just, you pick up so many more things.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: You could put it on mute, and it's funny, just
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: looking at the odd expressions. Like when he's in the
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: car with Mickey, and he's talking about cutting the mattress
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: tag off, and just he's, Reaching back. That or his
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: expression was with large march, too. The whole time he's
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: like inching away and just this terror is growing on
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: his face. And you watch as an adult, it's like,
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: how silly is it that he just gets in the car?
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: He's like, thanks for the ride. And she's like, 10
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: years ago. She just goes right into it without any, like,
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: prompting or transition. That's the best scene ever.
- 1:12:40Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:12:41Speaker 10: Do you know how much, because my kids were watching it,
- 1:12:44Speaker 10: and they loved it. They fell in love with Pee
- 1:12:47Speaker 10: Wee's Big Adventure right away.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: They weren't terrified by Large Marge.
- 1:12:51Speaker 10: They were, but I prepped them for that part. I
- 1:12:54Speaker 10: said there's going to be an extremely scary part.
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: And they knew ahead of time.
- 1:12:59Speaker 10: But they thought it was a lot like a Bugs
- 1:13:04Speaker 10: Bunny cartoon. And the more I thought about it, he
- 1:13:09Speaker 10: was innocent but wise, very physical about himself. Not necessarily
- 1:13:16Speaker 10: that the comedy was slapstick, fall around, but just his
- 1:13:21Speaker 10: motions and reactions to things. And some of those scenes, especially,
- 1:13:25Speaker 10: you could picture... like you say, with Mickey and driving
- 1:13:28Speaker 10: in the car, you could just picture him riding along
- 1:13:31Speaker 10: in that, Bugs Bunny riding along in that car in
- 1:13:33Speaker 10: that same scene happening.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: And it's a series of, like, miniature episodes or cartoons, too.
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: It's like, this is him with Mickey, this is the
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: episode with him, and, you know, the big fellow who
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: chases him out of the dinosaur. I can't think of that.
- 1:13:45Speaker 9: Andy.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Andy, thank you, Andy.
- 1:13:47Speaker 4: Andy!
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:13:50Speaker 10: And then at the end you get the curtain call
- 1:13:52Speaker 10: of everybody. It's just, yeah, like it's set up like
- 1:13:54Speaker 10: a Looney Tunes. And I thought that was very good.
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: And it is.
- 1:13:57Speaker 10: It's a kid's, it's an adult movie, but it's also
- 1:14:01Speaker 10: a kid's movie.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: Which actually in the way of Stuff to Worry, I could.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: I could watch this so many times, and it is
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: very Looney Tunes inspired. It's Gremlins 2, the new batch.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time I saw Gremlins. It's
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: probably been years since I saw Gremlins. Gremlins 2, the
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: new batch, I love it.
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: It's time for a revisit. I need to spend some
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: time with the new batch.
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: Just because they've got all the fake television networks going
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: on and the clamp and all the different businesses. I mean,
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: there is so much within the clamp building that's just,
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: It's like if anybody with Joe Dante's team had any
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: kind of idea, it's like, yeah, let's just go with it.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: Let's just throw it in there. You know, a split-second
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: shot of Christopher Lee walking out with a pod, like,
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: you know, from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and he
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: just sits it down. It's just so many subtle, subtle
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: things that are just going on. You know, it's just...
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: Your love for Gremlins 2. I love Gremlins 2, the
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: new hatch.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: Having, again, just sat there with Zach Gilligan, who really
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: is sick to death of Gremlins, so... It's funny that
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: you still love it.
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: But Gremlins, I kind of watch and I feel like it's,
- 1:15:05Speaker 2: to me, like watching Gremlins and then Gremlins 2 is
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: like watching Evil Dead and then Evil Dead 2. It's
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: pretty close, yeah. To where the second film, it's so
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: self-realized as to what it is. The first one didn't
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: quite know. It changes its mood completely, yeah. It's like,
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: do I want to be more horror? Do I want
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: to be comedy? Whereas the second one, it becomes a
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: parody of the first one and it's just so much
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: more fun.
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: And more Gremlin variety.
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: That's what they want. And I think the Gremlins look better, too,
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: in it. I mean, Rick Baker's doing them instead of
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: Chris Whaless.
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: They had like six years to improve the effect.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Rick Baker's doing them instead of Chris Whaless because Chris
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: Whaless vied not to do it so he could direct
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: the fly, too. And that went really well. Yeah. If
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: we want to hit some of the horror stuff, I
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: was trying to think of good tie-in. Halloween doesn't ever. Yeah.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: The first.
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: The only one of the run that I can just endlessly.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: I never.
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: Like, it's still amazing to me how, like, interesting and
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: enthralling that movie is.
- 1:16:06Speaker 10: I can watch The Shining.
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: Every day, probably.
- 1:16:09Speaker 10: I don't know if I want to watch that one.
- 1:16:11Speaker 2: That one would creep me out. It still does. It
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: still works.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: I mean, Halloween kind of does, but I don't know.
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: Shining just kind of pushes you over the edge.
- 1:16:20Speaker 10: But there's so much in it, especially after watching.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Documentaries. Room 237. Did you see that documentary?
- 1:16:29Speaker 10: I didn't, but I watched. The guys that did it,
- 1:16:31Speaker 10: they had kind of like.
- 1:16:35Speaker 10: Build-up documentaries. There's several of them online that you can watch.
- 1:16:39Speaker 10: All the different conspiracy theories, they'll spend 35-40 minutes on
- 1:16:44Speaker 10: each one. It really makes you... Even if none of
- 1:16:48Speaker 10: them are true, it really makes you appreciate because you
- 1:16:51Speaker 10: know there's something going on. He definitely poured a lot
- 1:16:55Speaker 10: into The Shining, and it's not just by accident.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: How many documentaries does anybody here have one that's a
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: rewatchable documentary?
- 1:17:07Speaker 6: I really like King of Kong.
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, that's the only one
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: that pops in my mind that I watch a lot,
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: but I don't know if it's something I can just
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: pop it in and watch at any time.
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: Yeah, there's one or two that I think are amazing and, like,
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: are right up there with any movie.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: Like, I could watch it through the gift shop a lot.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: I mean, I love Chrome. I mean, I think it's
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: one of the best shot movies, period, regardless of documentary.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: It's just amazing, but.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: Again, I don't know that I want to watch it
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: every day.
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: It's a creepy story.
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: Yeah, Chris, off the charts, have you guys seen that?
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: It's worth seeing.
- 1:17:41Speaker 6: It's got some really catchy tunes. There's a lot of
- 1:17:46Speaker 6: really funny characters in it. It's about people that call
- 1:17:51Speaker 6: it song poems or something. They send their lyrics out
- 1:17:53Speaker 6: to Nashville. I know what that one is.
- 1:17:55Speaker 7: Some professional studio will spend like five minutes turning your
- 1:18:00Speaker 7: piece of lyric art into a little shiny little turd.
- 1:18:03Speaker 7: And it's one of those documentaries that there's going to
- 1:18:05Speaker 7: be at least three scenes. You're not going to watch
- 1:18:07Speaker 7: the whole thing all the time, but you'll put on
- 1:18:09Speaker 7: just these scenes.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: And be like, oh, I just got to get my fix.
- 1:18:11Speaker 13: Well, if that's... Okay, Computer Tour.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:18:16Speaker 13: I forget the name of it, but it's beautiful to watch.
- 1:18:20Speaker 18: You just kind of watch it and I suddenly want
- 1:18:21Speaker 18: to make art all the time.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: So, it's cool. In a way, it's beautiful. Both Baraka
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: and Samsara, I can just put on and just like,
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: Greg was saying earlier, just have it on in the background.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: And the problem with that is I'll just stop and
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: just become transfixed again. But either one of those, you know,
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: it's just they're utterly beautiful, so I never tire of
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: watching either one. I was just thinking, I mean, there
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: was just so many big ones.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: And i guess it's one of those do you if
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: it if it gets to that point that it's so
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: huge do you throw that one out like i don't
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: know because i mean to me isn't everybody gonna say
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: jaws like there's so many people.
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: That still reference jaws as like you know the best
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: dark yeah say you know.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: Well, see, I would definitely go with that one, too. But, like,
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: I mean, Jaws has, like, worked itself so into the
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: pop culture at this point that, like, so many movies
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: steal the plot. Like, the plot itself, the whole framework
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: from it. I mean, everybody references lines from it. Like,
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: it's just so ingrained in pop culture now.
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: Well, it's ingrained in, like, our generation.
- 1:19:29Speaker 10: But, you know, that's what I was kind of thinking.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: I wonder, you give, you know, another ten years or so,
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: and You take teenagers now, and then once they're our age,
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: what are they going to be re-watching? It'll be interesting
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: to see how much of it drops off and the
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: stuff that are the classics of that era that we
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: started making classics. We grew up with movies like Goonies
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: and that, and we've watched them to death. But it's like,
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: what will prevail? You hear that somebody hasn't seen Empire
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: Strikes Back. You're like, really?
- 1:20:02Speaker 9: Really?
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: But, you know, you give it like 10, 15 years,
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: what are going to become those really movies at that point?
- 1:20:10Speaker 7: I feel like District 9 has that kind of potential.
- 1:20:12Speaker 7: I'll watch that again the other night, and it's like, man,
- 1:20:14Speaker 7: this is something I could watch all the time. It
- 1:20:16Speaker 7: has a lot of really value, and there's something to it.
- 1:20:20Speaker 7: I can see that being kind of a classic.
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: It's just smartly put together. Or any of the Edgar
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: Wright stuff, you know, Hot Fuzz or Sean Vitter. Even like,
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: I know it's not... I can't remember who directed it.
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: He didn't do Attack the Block. Who was that? He
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: produced it, I think, didn't he? Yeah, well, or it's got.
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: It's got somebody's name on it that's associated with it.
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: Yeah, it's associated with them, and it's got one crossover
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: actor out of the bunch. But yeah, it's not exactly
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: like that, but it's definitely pretty great. And I would
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: say that one would be... I need to go back
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: and re-watch it now that I'm thinking about it, because
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: I was really.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: Really happy with that one.
- 1:21:00Speaker 6: I heard they were going to remake Jaws. Have you
- 1:21:02Speaker 6: guys heard that?
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: They're always remaking everything, and some stuff drops off the map.
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: I thought the old boy remake had dropped off the
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: map until I was like, oh, there's a trailer now.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: It's real now, yeah. But at least early talks were
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: having Will Smith, so at least I think it can
- 1:21:21Speaker 2: be a little bit more tolerable with Josh Brolin. And
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: who's the antagonist against Josh Brolin? Do we know, or
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: is that... I'm sure I don't remember. Which I can't imagine,
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: just because Park Chan-wook's stuff is so stylized. I can't
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: imagine trying to remake something of his. There's some directors
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: I feel like it's really tough to remake their movies
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: because there's so much of their personality and style in it.
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: It would be like remaking City of Lost Children or something.
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: It wouldn't feel right.
- 1:21:55Speaker 7: I just thought popped in my head, I just wonder
- 1:21:57Speaker 7: if anybody would be bold enough to take the trouble
- 1:21:59Speaker 7: to remake an entire movie. But, so it's like, oh,
- 1:22:03Speaker 7: who's playing, Josh Brolin's playing this part.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Who's the antagonist? Oh, it's a talking piece of beef jerky.
- 1:22:07Speaker 7: Like, they actually had just somebody in costume and just
- 1:22:10Speaker 7: a talking piece of beef jerky. He's playing the same
- 1:22:12Speaker 7: role that they did in the original, but he's beef
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: jerky this time. Like, and if they really followed through,
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: then he was in the trailer and everything.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: That would be crazy, right?
- 1:22:21Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it would.
- 1:22:23Speaker 10: Is that your next project?
- 1:22:24Speaker 7: That would be crazy. That would just be like, this
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: is a sign that this person needs to go to meds.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: Andrew, do you always look this confused when your brother's talking?
- 1:22:31Speaker 6: I was trying to remember what movie. I was trying
- 1:22:33Speaker 6: to picture the beef jerky in the roll, but I
- 1:22:36Speaker 6: couldn't remember what movie we were talking about.
- 1:22:37Speaker 7: Let's say they remade Raiders of the Lost Ark, and
- 1:22:41Speaker 7: the French guy is played by a big jerky.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: So you're saying that like an old boy... the beef
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: jerky would be, like, copping a feel off of its sister? Like,
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: what would its sister be?
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: Yeah, he plays it straight.
- 1:22:55Speaker 7: He plays it just like the actor would play it,
- 1:22:57Speaker 7: only he's jerky. Wearing the same clothes that the guy
- 1:23:00Speaker 7: would be wearing. And if that director actually followed through
- 1:23:02Speaker 7: with that and got people to make that movie, people,
- 1:23:06Speaker 7: I feel like everybody would think they were in a
- 1:23:07Speaker 7: dream or something.
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: That would be crazy. I mean, there's equally as weird
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: stuff out there, truthfully.
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: You just have to go find it. I mean, That one,
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: it's just that there's that one element. But, I mean,
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: there's plenty of stuff that's equally as ridiculous that it
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: got made.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: With beef jerky. Whether or not it has beef jerky
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: is a whole different thing.
- 1:23:27Speaker 7: There's many a movie that... What is as weird as
- 1:23:32Speaker 7: remaking Raise the Lost Ark with beef jerky as the
- 1:23:34Speaker 7: French guy?
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: Anything by Harmony Corrine, I would guess. Yeah.
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: That seems easy. I mean, he's trying to do that,
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: but I'm trying to think. I mean, there's stuff that
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: I've watched lately that I'm just like, who let this happen?
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: I mean, who let this happen in a good way
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: or in a bad way? Kind of both. It depends.
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: Go back and watch House 2 or House. I mean,
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: that's a wonder. That one's genius. This is so damn surreal. Yeah.
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: I love it.
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, that is one that like, there
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: is talking food and, like, food that comes to life.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: A man turns into a man. Yeah, I mean, he gets.
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: Away with that kind of stuff. So, I mean, there's
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: weird stuff like that out there. You've got to get
- 1:24:15Speaker 1: your project financed.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: Because I remember trying to explain House to someone. They're like, well,
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: what's it about? And I said, well, there's a group
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: of girls that go to the house and this... aunt
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: is a vampire but rather than drinking their blood directly
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: the house consumes them and she gets the blood and
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: you're like well how does the house kill them I
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: said well there's this one girl that looks into the
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: mirror and when she's looking into the mirror she then
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: turns into like fragments of glass that catch on fire
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: and she catches on fire and she goes into the.
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: Mirror and that's the more normal that's one of the
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: more normal deaths it's oh the piano Goldman machine for
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: blood yeah I don't know. That's again, there's weird stuff
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: out there. That one's just kind of genius though. It
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: took me a while to come to terms with it.
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: I was just confused that first time, but the more
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: I think about it now, I'm like, wow, it's an
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: amazing movie.
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: And there's like a, there's almost like the Alice in
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: Wonderland version of, um, house. Uh, it's, um, Lamora, like
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: Lamora child's tale and Lamora girl's tale. I can't remember
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: the name of it, but it's just this girl who, um,
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: She's going to visit her relatives in the woods. And
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: as she's riding on this bus, it's extremely stylized, the
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: way that they've shot, like almost Suspiria-esque lighting. And she's
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: just riding through the woods, and you hear these weird
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: barking and stuff, but it's like these half-human, half-wolf creatures
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: that are just running up to the bus. Like she
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: goes from being in a very normal world to just
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: something very nightmarish, fairytale-like, and just it never really seems
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: to affect her. And there's witches, but yet there's, like, mixed.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: It's like you have witches, and then the next scene
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: you'll have, like, you know, hellfire Baptist preachers. It's very
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: dreamlike as well.
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: Where there's smoke, there's fire.
- 1:26:05Speaker 6: I think Silver Bullet was a horror movie I've probably
- 1:26:08Speaker 6: seen a lot in my life, too, partly because of B.C.
- 1:26:11Speaker 6: 's laugh in that movie as Uncle Red. But that's
- 1:26:14Speaker 6: got a lot of replay value, I think.
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: I haven't seen it in a while, but it is
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: one of those I loved and saw a lot on cable,
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: and now I need to go back.
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: Again, this just makes you, you know, I do need
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: to watch that again, but this is like the reminder
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: of this.
- 1:26:28Speaker 10: I'll tell you what, even if it's the TV-edited version
- 1:26:33Speaker 10: of Volume 1 of Kill Bill... It's almost like you
- 1:26:39Speaker 10: get on, you know, when you're strapped into a rollercoaster,
- 1:26:42Speaker 10: not that it's a rollercoaster of a movie, but when
- 1:26:44Speaker 10: you're strapped in parts of it, you have to go
- 1:26:47Speaker 10: like you can't, you can't, you can't not complete it
- 1:26:50Speaker 10: once you've started. And because everything is just one right
- 1:26:53Speaker 10: after the other, right after the other, it's nonstop action.
- 1:26:56Speaker 10: And there's no, you know, like where, where, where do
- 1:26:58Speaker 10: they even put commercials in this? If it's on TV,
- 1:27:01Speaker 10: because there's no stop and you have to just, Like
- 1:27:04Speaker 10: I said, stay strapped in and finish it out, and
- 1:27:06Speaker 10: you're like, okay, I can breathe now. I think two
- 1:27:08Speaker 10: is a better movie, but one, I think... One is
- 1:27:12Speaker 10: entertaining to no end. You can't not watch it once
- 1:27:15Speaker 10: it's on, I think.
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's one of the ones I threw
- 1:27:19Speaker 1: out in my list there. I was like, just Tarantino
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: in general. And like, Pulp Fiction, again, is one that's
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: like so overblown at this point, but at the same time,
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: you turn it on for a minute, you're.
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: Going to finish it. Like, you can't not.
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: Like, it's one of those you think is, like, you know,
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: oversold at this point, and then you go back and
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: watch it, and you're.
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: Like, damn. It's like, it's a well-written movie. It depends,
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: because Jackie Brown, I think, is a great movie, but
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: it's not something I can watch over and over. That's
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: the thing.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: I think that, and that may even be a better movie,
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: but it, like, I could watch Pulp Fiction again, and
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: I've done it, like, recently. I saw it on cable,
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: and it was, like, two minutes in, and I was like,
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: I've already seen it. oh and like two and a
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: half hours later i was like holy shit i just
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: watched this movie again and i've got a copy of
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: it over there and like just like get sucked into
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: that and like his and again it's hit and miss
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: because i wouldn't have necessarily thought it but i just
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: re-watched reservoir dogs and that's how i did it i
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: something else ended and it was coming on and i
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: thought i was gonna leave the room and do something
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: else and the whole movie and i was just like damn,
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: this thing is well put together. So maybe it was
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: his hit and miss kind of stuff, because you can't
- 1:28:32Speaker 1: say that about all of his, but definitely those three
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: that we've thrown out there.
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: Are ones that I will get sucked in every time.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: Reservoir Dogs never clicked with me. I can say objectively,
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: it's like a solid film, but it just never really
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: appealed to me.
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: It's one I liked a lot the first time around,
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: and again, it's over the years now, I go back
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: and look at how it's structured and how well those
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: performances just kind of work, and he hit the right
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: people at the right place in their career.
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: And it just, yeah, I don't know. I think it,
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: it took me a while to realize how like perfectly
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: all that stuff came together.
- 1:29:07Speaker 13: It was usual suspects. That was a great one.
- 1:29:10Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: Which actually leads me to a question I wanted to
- 1:29:14Speaker 1: ask with the, because they're so popular now.
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: You were a plant and we didn't even know this.
- 1:29:20Speaker 6: And now who knew?
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: Twist movies.
- 1:29:22Speaker 1: Are they normally something you come back to? Something with
- 1:29:25Speaker 1: a major plot twist. Like dancing movies?
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: I like Twister.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: You just like Jimmy Kirk.
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: It's like Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: I'm ignoring all this bullshit. This last 20 years, there's
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: been this huge run.
- 1:29:43Speaker 2: I still have my Twister I got from Suncoast. The
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: little water one? I have one of those too. Let's
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: just keep talking about Twister until he forgets what he
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: brought up.
- 1:29:52Speaker 3: Look out!
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: That's my favorite quote.
- 1:29:55Speaker 14: Look out!
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: See no evil here. Anyway.
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: Do you want to throw up in the drain?
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: No, is the rewatchability there, though?
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: Because that is so, like, everything hinges on that.
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: I think so, because Twister is just a lot of fun.
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: It's like one of those good movies to put on, like,
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: if there's storm warnings out, severe weather, it's a fun
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: one to put on. Isn't that Fred's favorite movie, Twister?
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: It might be. It's up there with Space Cowboys and
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: Curly Sue. If only the viewers could see the look
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: on Brian's face right now. I'm just ignoring you.
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: Good to bend over.
- 1:30:31Speaker 10: It depends on what kind of, to answer your question,
- 1:30:33Speaker 10: what kind of movie with a twist it is. Because
- 1:30:37Speaker 10: if it's a great movie, like Usual Suspects, the twist
- 1:30:40Speaker 10: is really not, it doesn't matter.
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: It depends on whether it banks on the twist or not.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: Like Sixth Sense banks on the twist, and I think it's...
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: Once you know it, it's almost unwatchable because it's just
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: damn boring leading up to that. I mean, that was
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: the one I originally thought of. And I think the
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: first time through, I was fine with that movie.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: And it is like that moment of, you know, you really,
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: if you didn't have it ruined for you, didn't necessarily
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: see it coming. Going back, trying to enter it again,
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: and knowing that throws everything off.
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: I mean, that's almost valid. You could say the same
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: with horror films, whether horror films would be rewatchable or not,
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: because if it's a horror film where it relies on
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: the surprises and scares, if you know they're coming, it
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: takes away that anxiety, and it's just you aren't as
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: into the film. I think it depends on the movie.
- 1:31:27Speaker 10: Psycho is one to me where you know the scene is.
- 1:31:32Speaker 10: In the shower is coming. You've seen it. You know
- 1:31:36Speaker 10: every cut of it. You know how the blood goes
- 1:31:39Speaker 10: down the drain. But it's still scary as hell. And
- 1:31:41Speaker 10: you're actually building up to it. It still works.
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: All these years later, it still works.
- 1:31:49Speaker 10: And I think, to me, the scariest horror movies are
- 1:31:53Speaker 10: the mentally horror.
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: Yeah, The Tenant still creeps me out every time I
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: see it. Because the whole scene where he finally goes
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: to the bathroom in his apartment building after he's been
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: watching everyone through binoculars is they'll just walk in and
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: stare at the wall for hours unmoving and he's just
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: like what the hell are these people doing in the
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: bathroom and when he finally goes in there and he
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: sees all the weird hieroglyphics have just been carved etched
- 1:32:16Speaker 2: into the wall and then he looks out the window
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: and he sees himself like with binoculars look at himself
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: it's like that's just terrifying And that's when suddenly the
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: movie's at the tipping point in the next hour or so.
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: It just gets more surreal and more nightmarish. I think
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: it's the ones where it relies more on psychological horror.
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: Because if it just relies on shocks, you can't watch
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: them over and over. I mean, slasher films, unless they're
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: self-aware and tongue-in-cheek slasher films, I don't think they work.
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: When I had written down of the horror, I still
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: can watch the first Scream movie. And I think it's
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: very self-aware.
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: I think it's self-aware, and it's got fun dialogue, and
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: it works little things along the way. But, yeah, I mean,
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: it's even kind of gotten cheesier over the years when
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: I go back and watch it now. But it's still, like, again,
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: it's almost more the way that it's structured and how, like,
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: pieced together everything is, knowing how all horror movies before
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: it have worked, really.
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: That's always had trouble getting into the Twilight Zone. You know,
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: I loved The Outer Limits growing up to death. The
- 1:33:20Speaker 2: Twilight Zone's always relied on that twist, and it's like,
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: once you know the twist, that's kind of it. Same
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: with most M. Night Shyamalan films. It's like, the only
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: one of his that I feel like has good rewatchability
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: is Unbreakable. That's, yeah. That's a good movie.
- 1:33:32Speaker 11: It's definitely a good movie.
- 1:33:34Speaker 19: That's my favorite superhero movie oh that's what i was
- 1:33:39Speaker 19: gonna say i think they expected a superhero movie like
- 1:33:42Speaker 19: spider-man or something like that it's like no you're not
- 1:33:44Speaker 19: going to get something it's more clever than the audience
- 1:33:47Speaker 19: that was appealing to the broadest.
- 1:33:49Speaker 16: Sense so it definitely didn't work at the theater and
- 1:33:55Speaker 16: again it's another one of those that i think it
- 1:33:56Speaker 16: took this long like it's just recently in the last
- 1:33:59Speaker 16: five or six years i've Now I hear people going, oh,
- 1:34:02Speaker 16: that's his best movie.
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: At the time, everybody hated it, and nobody wanted anything
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: to do with it. But it's like everybody goes looking
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: at his other stuff, and I'm like, no, actually he
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: was on to something here. He should have stuck with
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: this idea.
- 1:34:13Speaker 7: I have a personal connection with that movie because his weakness,
- 1:34:16Speaker 7: his superhero weakness, is when he gets in water, he
- 1:34:18Speaker 7: always seems to breathe it in. And people make fun
- 1:34:20Speaker 7: of that movie because they're like, that's not anyone's actual weakness.
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that happens to me. I've had so
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: many shameful, embarrassing swimming stories in my life. You have
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: no idea. I totally get how this could be someone's weakness.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: I won't even go there.
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: Do you get sick? No, man.
- 1:34:38Speaker 1: I guess I don't.
- 1:34:39Speaker 4: I dance.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: I do a twist. Now a question for your brother.
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: Are your bones made of glass? Are you Samuel L. Jackson?
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: That's just a normal question. Are you Samuel L.
- 1:34:51Speaker 4: Jackson?
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: He just kind of went right for it. But anyway, I.
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: Next time I.
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: Interview somebody for the theater here, it's just, you know,
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: in between, it's like, what hours are you available for? And,
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: you know, it's just, is this a good starting point?
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: It's like, are you Samuel L.
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: Jackson?
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: If I was, I wouldn't tell you. I wouldn't tell you.
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: And they're like, no. Okay, just keep going.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: Would you hire someone who was able to hide the
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: fact that they were Samuel L.
- 1:35:11Speaker 4: Jackson?
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Would you be impressed with that, or would you want
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: to keep distance from that person?
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like, would I want to hire
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: them because they were Samuel L. Jackson but hiding it,
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: or because they just said yes to the question when
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: I asked?
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: I think it would just be impressive if they just
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: went right through it, like the rest of the questions.
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: They were like, no, no, and just kept going.
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: It's like, are you Samuel L. Jackson? Samuel L. Jackson
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: from Changing Lanes, but that's the only one.
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with that Snakes on a
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: Plane bullshit, so I'll have you know now, I will
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: not get hired if you think that's who I am.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: I will walk right out of here. I can be
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: Samuel L. Jackson. That's later after hours.
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll be Samuel L.
- 1:35:53Speaker 4: Jackson.
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: So now, what I want to know is, if you've
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: got all these movies, how many of them have we
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: pulled from recently?
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: Everything.
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: I started going through, and it's like everything I was.
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: I mean, have any of yours that.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: You can think of that you would think of as
- 1:36:11Speaker 1: rewatchable been from in the last five years or so?
- 1:36:15Speaker 13: There's a movie I like to rewatch.
- 1:36:17Speaker 1: It's Easy A.
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:36:19Speaker 13: It's kind of cheesy.
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: That's at least reason.
- 1:36:20Speaker 13: At the same time, it's really funny and intelligent.
- 1:36:24Speaker 9: So.
- 1:36:26Speaker 13: I do like her. Some dudes might like her.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: She's pretty fun.
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: I like her.
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: I don't know, because I'm thinking most of it is
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: so much older. I was trying to think how many
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: of them are more like a weird nostalgia. that we've
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: attached to each of these movies, that whether it's good, bad,
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: or otherwise, that that's almost what makes it more rewatchable.
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: Like if I said Joan Carpenter's a thing, you'd think, well,
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: the 80s, grew up watching it. No, I didn't even
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: see it until I was like 24 or something. That
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: was on my list, too. But it's one that I
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: kind of fell in love with. So that's why I'm
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: sitting here trying to think. There's been movies recently that
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: I fell in love with, but they're older films. I'm
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: trying to think of the last... new, new film. Rubber,
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: I would say, is probably one. I mean, there's stuff
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: that I really like made recently, but.
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: Again, it's not something I've gone back and watched over
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: and over and over again. I mean, the most I've
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: seen anything in the last several years is twice, you know?
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: It's like, I just don't seem to return. But again,
- 1:37:29Speaker 1: I mean, now I just don't get a chance to
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: watch a ton of movies that aren't for the show. So,
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: maybe it would change if I just randomly put stuff
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: in all day long, but now I'm just sort of
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: pinning down specific stuff that we talk about.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: So maybe that factors in for me. I don't know. Yeah,
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: Brain Candy's one I've seen a couple dozen times since
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: I first discovered it last summer. But again, that's an
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: older film. That's what I was thinking.
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: Even everything I made the list of, like Pulp Fiction,
- 1:37:55Speaker 1: seems like it's recent.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: No, 20 years old. It's 20 years old, yeah.
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: I'm like, that seems like a newer movie to me
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: in my brain.
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: But no, no, it's like 20 years old, so... I
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: don't know. It seems like most of this stuff is
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: just stuff that... At first I thought Napoleon Dynamite, because
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: I like that, but that's 10 years old. It's like
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: 10 years old. It's scary. I'm trying to be purposely
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: nostalgic for the 80s. That's true.
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: The Dark Knight's definitely a comfy pants movie for me.
- 1:38:20Speaker 1: I put them all in comfy pants.
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: I do too. That one's... I have watched it recently again,
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: but again, that's still only like the second or third
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: time I've seen it.
- 1:38:28Speaker 7: Like it's... i can't even watch it i'll put it
- 1:38:32Speaker 7: on and it only feels right if it's on the
- 1:38:33Speaker 7: background because i'll start to watch it i'm like ah
- 1:38:35Speaker 7: i've seen this many times i'm just back to it
- 1:38:38Speaker 7: it's a made-up See.
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: I just don't put them on in the background because
- 1:38:42Speaker 1: I know I won't get anything else done. Like, I
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: can turn on TV because TV is usually really bad,
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: and I don't want to see what's on TV. But
- 1:38:49Speaker 1: I can't put on a movie I like and expect
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: to do something else because I won't. I'll just get
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: sucked in, which is how all these movies made it
- 1:38:57Speaker 1: on the list.
- 1:38:57Speaker 10: I think, like, it's not even that new either, but, like,
- 1:39:02Speaker 10: Idiocracy is one that I could return to. two multiple times.
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: I'm just thinking hard trying to think last year. Yeah.
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: Like something that's been released within the year.
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: There's stuff that I think is good but still like
- 1:39:15Speaker 1: not something that I'd be like anxiously waiting for the
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: release date. I would just constantly put it on over
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: and over again.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Like I can't think of anything lately that has felt
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: like that. And that's why I wonder if it's more
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: I would say Samsara. Samsara I've watched dozens of times
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: since I got it back in January. So I mean
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: that would be one.
- 1:39:33Speaker 7: But Now if you go to a nursing home, you
- 1:39:35Speaker 7: see old episodes of The Jeffersons and Sanford and Sons shit.
- 1:39:39Speaker 7: But now when we're old enough to be in nursing homes,
- 1:39:41Speaker 7: you'll see me in a wheelchair and the dark night
- 1:39:43Speaker 7: is going on in my room just constantly.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: Well, see, I thought about that too. 40 years from now,
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: are you going to go into nursing homes and hear
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: Eminem playing? Because that's what people grew up with. That's
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: going to be very weird.
- 1:39:56Speaker 6: It'd be cool to show your grandkids, like, Dr. Dre
- 1:39:58Speaker 6: the Chronic, you know? This is what we used to
- 1:40:00Speaker 6: listen to when I was your age.
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: These kids get around.
- 1:40:04Speaker 10: Oh, it was so juvenile, or, you know, so, yeah,
- 1:40:07Speaker 10: so innocent, talking about the Chronic.
- 1:40:10Speaker 6: Well, you know, that makes me think of, like, remakes,
- 1:40:13Speaker 6: and try not to hate them so much, because, like, I.
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: Grew up with the 80s. 80s had some solid remakes. But,
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up with.
- 1:40:20Speaker 6: The 80s Invasion of the Body Smashers with Donald Sutherland,
- 1:40:24Speaker 6: and I thought it was awesome, and It was years
- 1:40:26Speaker 6: before I even realized it was a remake, and that
- 1:40:28Speaker 6: was one that totally, I think, needed to be remade.
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: Well, it's because they did so much new with them.
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: I mean, you compare the 80s blob to the original,
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: it's like two completely different worlds.
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: And that's one I just watched recently. I'd seen bits
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: and pieces of it on cable, but I hadn't sat
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: down and watched it until in the past year.
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: And I was like, damn, this is really... They did.
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: So much more than I expected out of that.
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: And I love the concept that in that one, the blob,
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: in the first one, they don't explain. It's like some
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: alien creature. But this one, it's like, oh, no, it's
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: bacteria that we sent up as an experiment. Yeah, we
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: did it. Like all of our stuff, we did it.
- 1:41:05Speaker 10: You know, it just popped into my head. I think
- 1:41:08Speaker 10: recent multiple watches for me, probably because I have kids,
- 1:41:14Speaker 10: but our movie is like up.
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: I can watch that one.
- 1:41:18Speaker 10: They'll put that on, and that's one of the few
- 1:41:20Speaker 10: that I'll sit down and re-watch with them. It's just
- 1:41:26Speaker 10: a really well-made movie. Like the Toy Story movies, you
- 1:41:30Speaker 10: could re-watch those.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: When I was in Beijing staying with my friend, he's
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: got a five-year-old and a two-year-old. They want to watch
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: movies over and over. There were two that they wanted
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: to watch over and over. Rio, which... It wasn't bad.
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: You know, I'd never seen it before. And they really
- 1:41:47Speaker 2: kept putting it in and watching over and over. And,
- 1:41:51Speaker 2: mama mia. Oh, my gosh. So I would, like, I
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: would be out, you know, just, like, drinking until 2
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: in the morning. And then I would bike home from,
- 1:42:00Speaker 2: you know, whatever, like, bar I found in some nook
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: in Beijing. And then at, like, 6.45 in the morning,
- 1:42:07Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, I'd just hear, like,
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: you know, mama mia, I did it. It's, like, And,
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: you know, I would just, like, wake up, and she's like,
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: Uncle Bo! Hey! It's Mamma Mia!
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it is!
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: They're all dead. They're silly! You know, Mira, I gotta
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: ask you, like, when you watch a movie like this,
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: look at the way the women are behaving in this.
- 1:42:32Speaker 2: You don't see this as a negative stereotype. It's just
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: completely negating all that women fought for with the women's
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: rights movement. I mean, here, the entire film was about
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: these women who were just desperately vying for you know
- 1:42:46Speaker 2: some male in their life and the protagonist is a
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: woman that's fooled around so much she doesn't know who
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: her daughter's father is they're silly yes i see that
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: exactly why don't you turn it down.
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: I go back to bed well that's that's why i
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: thought maybe it was tied more to nostalgia because that's
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: something that's very kid like anyway like every kid does
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: that like why do they just watch things on a
- 1:43:11Speaker 1: loop like we grow up and don't necessarily like rewind
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: that watch again like i don't know kid i watch
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: my my nieces and nephews do it and i watch
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: their parents complain to me about it and i'm just
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: like yeah but as an adult it's just like that
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: i don't know.
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: I used to watch like the jungle book and most
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: disney movies all the time as a kid i don't
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: really go back and re-watch those as an adult and
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: not that i have anything against them it's just you
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: know i I don't have that inner drive.
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: It's just something programmed different in your brain at that point.
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: And I don't know if you just get out of
- 1:43:41Speaker 1: it as you get older.
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:43:44Speaker 9: I think like now on some level, like I remember,
- 1:43:47Speaker 9: I know more of how much I enjoyed something the
- 1:43:49Speaker 9: first time. And so part of me doesn't want to
- 1:43:52Speaker 9: play it so much that I memorize every line because
- 1:43:54Speaker 9: I want to kind of go back to that scene
- 1:43:56Speaker 9: for the first time. It's kind of like albums. There
- 1:43:59Speaker 9: are some albums and I'll listen to them and think,
- 1:44:01Speaker 9: you know, I'm going to put this away for a
- 1:44:02Speaker 9: while because I want to hear it fresh again.
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to wear it out. That's almost
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: a grind topic for the future is children's movies that
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: endure and those that don't.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: Well, I think you've thrown out the next topic, so
- 1:44:13Speaker 1: I think we should put a cap on this one. Again,
- 1:44:16Speaker 1: I think we could do this all day. I mean,
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: there are so many we didn't get to that people
- 1:44:22Speaker 1: are going to be like, I can't believe you didn't
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: talk about Princess Bride.
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: You know, you're right.
- 1:44:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: And watch it all day long. Why don't you talk
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: about it?
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: I think it's just asking for responses from you guys
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: and from a sequel.
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: So later we'll have to come back and reboot this thing.
- 1:44:40Speaker 5: Revisit.
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: Rewatch. No, I don't think that applies. Don't they need
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: to break out their secret decoder rings because the movie
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: we're watching next week is going to be... Okay, kids,
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: get out your decoder pins. it's a couple of weeks.
- 1:45:00Speaker 1: Off but if you'd like to clue them in as
- 1:45:02Speaker 1: a tie-in to the upcoming uh movie geek art show
- 1:45:06Speaker 1: you know the greatest thing ever uh we're going to
- 1:45:09Speaker 1: come back and watch a film called beautiful losers if
- 1:45:13Speaker 1: you're not familiar with it it's currently on netflix it
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: is a documentary about art and artists and how all
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: of this comes together and what it means, or none
- 1:45:23Speaker 1: of that possibly.
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: Brian's going to be an artist if he can patch
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: this last 20 minutes together seamlessly for the show. It's
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: called edit it all out.
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: Just put it all on top of each other so
- 1:45:31Speaker 1: it just sounds like.
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: A crowd of people. Kind of did for him.
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: So yes, watch it now and then that way you
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: won't complain because you don't know what we're talking about
- 1:45:39Speaker 1: because you've had fair warning.
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: Alright, anything else you need to pass along this episode?
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: I've been eating popcorn this whole time very silently.
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: We're very proud of you. He's a ninja when it
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: comes to popcorn eating. Just let it dissolve. You've succeeded.
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: It's worked pretty well. Thank you.
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: Alright, then I guess we should thank the Baxter for
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: letting us loiter around in this room and whether or
- 1:46:02Speaker 1: not Bo gets fired, we'll find out.
- 1:46:03Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: I'm looking around at all these posters trying to figure
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: out if any of these I would consider rewatchable. Best
- 1:46:08Speaker 2: in show, maybe.
- 1:46:09Speaker 10: Best in show, I've watched many times.
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: I ain't watching none of these. Tenenbaums, yeah. They're all fancy.
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: Isn't this your favorite movie?
- 1:46:17Speaker 10: My big Greek Big fat Greek wedding.
- 1:46:22Speaker 2: That ran for ten and a half months. It used
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: to be. I would not die here. We'll return next week.
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: Go ahead. Same geek channel, same geek feed. Is that
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: the sign off? Relatively close. It's not my line, so
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: I don't know it. You should have it memorized. Otherwise
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: that about does it. We will return next week. Same
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: geek time, same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
- 1:46:47Speaker 15: I'm an average man.
- 1:46:51Speaker 14: With an average life. I work from nine to five.
- 1:46:55Speaker 12: And hell, I.
- 1:46:57Speaker 14: Pay the price. Just want to be left alone in
- 1:47:04Speaker 14: my average home. But what do I always feel? Like
- 1:47:10Speaker 14: I'm in the twilight zone I always feel like somebody's watching.
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: Me And I.
- 1:47:23Speaker 12: Have no privacy I always feel like somebody's watching me
- 1:47:34Speaker 12: Tell me.
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: Is it just a dream?
- 1:47:39Speaker 14: When I come home at night I bolt the door
- 1:47:47Speaker 14: real tight People call me on the phone.
- 1:47:55Speaker 15: I'm trying to avoid But can the people on TV
- 1:48:00Speaker 15: see me or am I just paranoid? When I'm in
- 1:48:06Speaker 15: the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair.
- 1:48:11Speaker 14: Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there.
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: People say I'm crazy.
- 1:48:20Speaker 12: I'm just a little touched.
- 1:48:23Speaker 14: But maybe shells remind me of psycho too much.
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: Cause.
- 1:48:31Speaker 12: I always feel like somebody's watching.
- 1:48:38Speaker 11: Me I always.
- 1:48:45Speaker 12: Feel like somebody's watching me Tell me, is it just
- 1:48:55Speaker 12: a dream? I always feel like somebody's watching me.
- 1:49:06Speaker 11: Check out your palm of your hand. I'm not a
- 1:49:09Speaker 11: palm reader, but let.
- 1:49:11Speaker 12: Me check out the palm of your hand. Let me
- 1:49:14Speaker 12: see the other hand.
- 1:49:34Speaker 10: Okay, see how your right hand has a line that
- 1:49:37Speaker 10: goes directly across?
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: Your left hand doesn't. That's true. Right? Right.
- 1:49:43Speaker 10: So his hands are not mirror images of one another.
- 1:49:47Speaker 6: Is that regular?
- 1:49:49Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:49:49Speaker 10: But see, because I have lines that go straight across
- 1:49:52Speaker 10: for us all.
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: Right across the hand.
- 1:49:54Speaker 6: There and there.
- 1:49:57Speaker 10: And it's not common to have a lion's throne.
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: Side to side of his hand. And you only have
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: it on the one hand.
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: So wait a minute, who's the weirdo?
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: Take your pick in this room.
- 1:50:11Speaker 7: That's a fresh, unworn shirt, isn't it? That is a
- 1:50:14Speaker 7: fresh-ass shirt from, what, 1990?
- 1:50:15Speaker 1: I wore it a lot back in the day.
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: And which fresh do you mean from the day? Because,
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: you know, back then there were two types of fresh
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: when you came in, when you were referring to a shirt, so.
- 1:50:26Speaker 1: All kinds of fresh, that shirt is. No, now it
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: just smells like it's been sitting in a box for
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: 15 years.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: Well, first of all, that is strange, I think, that
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: it's not... Yeah, because it's really normal for, like, a
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: guest to sit down and raise, like, let me see
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: your pants. It is. That's going to be like one
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: of the little quotes that he puts at the end.
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: Not really. None of that was here. I'm glad to
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: know that you aren't going to put the pee to
- 1:50:53Speaker 2: carpet ratio segment.
