Bonus Episode: Why Does Hollywood Ignore The Most Impactful Music? · DISGRACELAND

0:01
Speaker 1: Hey, discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life,
0:05
Speaker 1: just to touch to get you through. Yeah me too.
0:08
Speaker 1: This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome
0:12
Speaker 1: to Disgraceland, the after party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode,
0:32
Speaker 1: a little thing we like to call the after party.
0:34
Speaker 1: This is the show after the show, the party after
0:36
Speaker 1: the party, the bridge to get you from one full
0:38
Speaker 1: episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard, to dig
0:40
Speaker 1: into the dirt, our mission to uncover the truth, to
0:43
Speaker 1: confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode,
0:46
Speaker 1: we're talking about why Hollywood ignores some of the most
0:49
Speaker 1: impactful music ever made. We're rewinding back to our ac
0:53
Speaker 1: DC Part one episode, previewing next week's new episode on
0:57
Speaker 1: ACDC Part two of that story, and we get into
0:59
Speaker 1: your voice, tax dms, and as always a whole lot
1:02
Speaker 1: of rosie. This is the podcast where the musically obsessed,
1:05
Speaker 1: the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best
1:08
Speaker 1: history is the history that gets buried. Disgrace Land is
1:10
Speaker 1: where I tell the stories they didn't want told, the
1:13
Speaker 1: kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, discoes,
1:15
Speaker 1: let's get into it. When The Exorcist was released in
1:34
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy four, the movie sent some theatergoers screaming through
1:38
Speaker 1: the aisles in terror. They vomited, feinted, more than one
1:42
Speaker 1: had a heart attack, and another had a miscarriage. The
1:46
Speaker 1: movie shocking images of a possessed twelve year old girl
1:50
Speaker 1: are credited with causing the extreme audience reaction, but the
1:54
Speaker 1: incredible music from the Exorcist also contributed to the intense
1:59
Speaker 1: fear that audience felt. Horror movie music, unlike music and
2:03
Speaker 1: other film genres, is essential to the success of a film.
2:08
Speaker 1: Horror movie music is also the most memorable music in cinema.
2:13
Speaker 1: Think of films like Psycho, The Shining and Yes, the Exorcist,
2:17
Speaker 1: and try to imagine these movies without the music. You
2:21
Speaker 1: really can't. So why then, have these and other original
2:25
Speaker 1: horror scores received little recognition from Hollywood. The cultural impact
2:30
Speaker 1: The Exorcist had was massive. In addition to the physical
2:34
Speaker 1: repulsion from some audiences, the film sparked a nationwide debate
2:38
Speaker 1: over faith. Protestants condemned it, the Vatican basically said see
2:43
Speaker 1: we told you so, SNL spoofed it, and aspiring filmmakers everywhere.
2:49
Speaker 1: John carpenter Wes Craven and others grabbed cameras with newfound
2:54
Speaker 1: inspiration that led to an eventual explosion in horror. A
2:58
Speaker 1: decade later, teen seventy three and seventy four, The Exorcist
3:03
Speaker 1: grossed two hundred and thirty three million dollars domestically, the
3:06
Speaker 1: equivalent to over a billion dollars today. It's no wonder
3:10
Speaker 1: The film was the first horror movie nominated for Best
3:12
Speaker 1: Picture at the forty six Annual Academy Awards. In total,
3:17
Speaker 1: The Exorcist received ten Academy Award nominations for Best Actress, Actor,
3:22
Speaker 1: Supporting Actress, Director, Cinematography, Editing, Writing, Production, and Sound Mixing,
3:29
Speaker 1: but not for Best Original Score, Original Score, Adaptation, or
3:34
Speaker 1: Best Song, which I always found to be a glaring
3:37
Speaker 1: omission given the power and originality of the Exorcist theme
3:41
Speaker 1: Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield as a kid growing up
3:45
Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties, I knew that music before
3:47
Speaker 1: I ever even saw the film. It's iconic, like the
3:50
Speaker 1: music of so many other horror films. But tubular Bells
3:54
Speaker 1: almost didn't happen, at least not in The Exorcist. Director
3:58
Speaker 1: William Friedkin rejected score or by legendary composers Bernard Hermann,
4:02
Speaker 1: you know, the dude who scored Psycho, and Lalo Schiffrin
4:05
Speaker 1: who came up with the Mission Impossible theme. In fact,
4:09
Speaker 1: Freakin was so unimpressed and frustrated with the process of
4:12
Speaker 1: finding suitable music for his film that he literally threw
4:15
Speaker 1: Lalo Schiffrin's score out of the window. You can hear
4:19
Speaker 1: more about this incident and the wild drama around choosing
4:22
Speaker 1: the music for the Exorcystem this Week's Disgrace, a mini episode, which,
4:26
Speaker 1: as you probably know by now, is available only to
4:28
Speaker 1: All Access members. But the main reason I mentioned Freakin's
4:32
Speaker 1: frustration here is because it speaks to how important music
4:36
Speaker 1: is to a film production, especially a film that's supposed
4:40
Speaker 1: to elicit fear. Freakin hunted through the archives at Warner
4:44
Speaker 1: Brothers and eventually Atlantic Records until he stumbled upon a
4:47
Speaker 1: prog rock composition by an unknown nineteen year old English
4:50
Speaker 1: musician named Mike Oldfield, and Freakin knew immediately that the
4:55
Speaker 1: synthy tension of Oldfield's tune Tubular Bells would create a
4:59
Speaker 1: unique sense of modern dread and compel audiences. And boy
5:04
Speaker 1: howdy was he right, but the Academy didn't see it
5:07
Speaker 1: that way and thus no nomination. To be fair, the
5:11
Speaker 1: Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences has always had
5:14
Speaker 1: a hands off relationship with the horror genre. Horror movies,
5:18
Speaker 1: along with other so called genre films, seldom get nominated
5:22
Speaker 1: in non technical categories, but The Exorcist changed that for
5:27
Speaker 1: a minute anyway. In nineteen seventy six, Jaws won the
5:31
Speaker 1: Oscar for Best Original Score by John Williams and deservedly so,
5:35
Speaker 1: and in nineteen seventy seven, the horror film The Omen
5:38
Speaker 1: took home the Best Original Score Oscar, composed by Jerry Goldsmith. However,
5:42
Speaker 1: in the many years since, despite the continued excellence and
5:47
Speaker 1: impact of horror film music, only three horror movies have
5:51
Speaker 1: been nominated for Best Original Score since nineteen seventy seven,
5:55
Speaker 1: one for Amityville Horror in nineteen eighty, one for Interview
5:58
Speaker 1: with a Vampire nineteen ninety five, and one for the
6:01
Speaker 1: Village in two thousand and five. That's just three nominations
6:04
Speaker 1: in nearly fifty years, fifty years of incredible horror movies
6:09
Speaker 1: with impactful, immemorable music. Movies like Suspiria, The Shining let
6:14
Speaker 1: the right one in the Witch get out a hereditary
6:19
Speaker 1: All films that were Oscar worthy themselves, or contained performances
6:23
Speaker 1: that were Oscar worthy, and contained Oscar worthy original music.
6:29
Speaker 1: Given that the Academy typically dumps the horror genre into
6:33
Speaker 1: its technical award categories, the fact that none of these
6:36
Speaker 1: great films were nominated for Best Original Score is perplexing,
6:39
Speaker 1: to say the least. It's almost like the Academy purposefully
6:43
Speaker 1: overlooks horror and horror music. The mission of the Academy
6:47
Speaker 1: of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences is to recognize excellence
6:50
Speaker 1: and inspire the next generation of filmmakers. Without belaboring the point,
6:56
Speaker 1: every horror movie I've mentioned in this piece achieves cinematic
6:59
Speaker 1: excel and has inspired future generations of filmmakers. Furthermore, the
7:05
Speaker 1: mission of filmmaking is partly to explore deeply human themes.
7:11
Speaker 1: What's more human than fear, and fear as expressed in
7:15
Speaker 1: film is done so most effectively with great music. Music
7:21
Speaker 1: you can't forget, But somehow music Hollywood disgracefully ignores. I'll
7:28
Speaker 1: be back after this with your calls, texts, voicemails, and more.
7:54
Speaker 1: All right, we are back and speaking of Oscars, Zeth
7:58
Speaker 1: and I are hosting our own Academy Award. It's in
8:00
Speaker 1: the exclusive section of this after party, and we're gonna
8:03
Speaker 1: be nominating the movies from Hollywood history that aren't horror
8:06
Speaker 1: but are so scary that could be considered horror that
8:10
Speaker 1: makes sense, Great films that scare the hell out of
8:13
Speaker 1: you but aren't horror movies. Great performances in films that
8:16
Speaker 1: are scary that aren't horror movies. You know what we're
8:18
Speaker 1: talking about. And to access this content, you know, the

8:30
Speaker 1: movie and music talk is because we dropped our Exorcist
8:34
Speaker 1: episode in the feed this week, a movie that directly
8:37
Speaker 1: inspired the music we created for the ACDC Part one
8:40
Speaker 1: episode that we're rewinding for you directly after this and
8:44
Speaker 1: before we get into ACDC Part two, the continuation of
8:47
Speaker 1: that story that's going to be our brand new episode
8:49
Speaker 1: coming to you on Tuesday. The ACDC story deals with
8:53
Speaker 1: the murder for Hire incident involving drummer Phil Rudd and
8:56
Speaker 1: the album back in Black is a huge part of
8:59
Speaker 1: the story is of course dirty deeds done dirt cheap.
9:02
Speaker 1: But Back in Black is the second biggest selling album
9:05
Speaker 1: of all time. That's just incredible. You wouldn't think it'd
9:08
Speaker 1: be a CDC. I don't know. It sounds strange to
9:10
Speaker 1: say that the number one selling album of all time
9:12
Speaker 1: is Thriller by Michael Jackson number two Back in Black.
9:15
Speaker 1: So it's the highest selling rock record of all time.
9:18
Speaker 1: But is it the greatest rock record of all time?
9:20
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't even think it's the
9:22
Speaker 1: greatest ACDC record, not by a long shot. Difficult question
9:26
Speaker 1: to answer. You can only listen to one rock record
9:29
Speaker 1: the rest of your life, start to finish. Which is it?
9:33
Speaker 1: Which rock album has no skips? Which rock record is
9:37
Speaker 1: dynamic enough, is textured enough, deep enough to keep you captivated?
9:42
Speaker 1: Which rock record best represents this massively popular genre. What
9:48
Speaker 1: is the greatest rock and roll record of all time?
9:51
Speaker 1: And why? That's what I want you guys to be
9:53
Speaker 1: thinking about next week when you're listening to a CDC.
9:55
Speaker 1: Part two, And that's what I want you guys to answer.
9:58
Speaker 1: Call me at six one seven nine six six six
10:01
Speaker 1: three eight or send me a voicemail. Let me know
10:03
Speaker 1: just Gracelampod at gmail dot com on the email machine
10:06
Speaker 1: at Disgrace slam Pod on the socials. I know this
10:09
Speaker 1: is a basic question, but it's a it's a big one.
10:11
Speaker 1: That's what kind of makes it hard. So I'm looking
10:13
Speaker 1: forward to your answers here. Last week's question of the
10:16
Speaker 1: week was what's the scariest movie of all time? Another
10:19
Speaker 1: basic question, but a hard one. A hard one to
10:22
Speaker 1: answer because god damn, there are a lot of scary movies,
10:26
Speaker 1: incredible ones, even beyond the world of horror. And again
10:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into that later in the exclusive section. Obviously,
10:32
Speaker 1: this question about scary movies was prompted by our Exorcist episode.
10:37
Speaker 1: Let's hear what you guys have to say on this subject, Matt,
10:40
Speaker 1: Let's hear from the four to one four.
10:43
Speaker 2: Hey, Jick, I'm just corresponding to the question about what
10:47
Speaker 2: is the scariest movie that I've seen? I think that
10:51
Speaker 2: it would be a movie from Turkey called Baskin. It's
10:56
Speaker 2: possible just that I only saw it once and so
10:59
Speaker 2: maybe overly affected me. But I was really freaked out
11:03
Speaker 2: by that movie. Other people might have different things I
11:08
Speaker 2: thought that.
11:09
Speaker 3: One was pretty bad. Martyrs was intense, but it wasn't
11:14
Speaker 3: the most horrible. It wasn't pleasant, but it was good.
11:17
Speaker 3: It wasn't that bad anyways. Enjoy spooky season and take
11:22
Speaker 3: care Baskin.
11:24
Speaker 1: I've never heard of this movie. I am intrigued. Something
11:28
Speaker 1: about Turkey scares the hell out of me. I had
11:31
Speaker 1: a sketchy flight from Turkey once a layover that might
11:35
Speaker 1: be part of it. I've heard of Martyrs and never
11:39
Speaker 1: never seen it. I'm excited to watch, so I love
11:42
Speaker 1: these recommendations here all right, Baskin and Martyrs. Thank you
11:46
Speaker 1: for one for Matt. Let's check in with Tony from
11:49
Speaker 1: the two oh six.
11:51
Speaker 4: Hey Jake, Tony from the two o six, Happy Halloween
11:54
Speaker 4: to you. To answer your question about what movies scare me?
12:00
Speaker 4: Video Drone. That's the one I had to cut off
12:04
Speaker 4: right in the middle of the movie because I was like, Okay,
12:05
Speaker 4: this is becoming too much. But the one that I
12:08
Speaker 4: recently went back and rewatched with my wife, actually about
12:12
Speaker 4: two nights ago, was the movie Strangers with liv Tyler.
12:16
Speaker 4: That movie is still scary to this day the way
12:20
Speaker 4: it was when I saw it in the theater back
12:21
Speaker 4: in two thousand and eight. And what's scary about it
12:24
Speaker 4: is it's just old school, no backstory to who these
12:28
Speaker 4: three killers are. They just show up and just terrorize
12:31
Speaker 4: the hell out of this couple at this vacation home.
12:34
Speaker 4: That's a good one. And I think a movie that
12:37
Speaker 4: doesn't get talked about enough that is still pretty scary.
12:40
Speaker 4: And let me know your opinion on this has to
12:42
Speaker 4: be the movie fourteen to oh eight with John Cusack
12:44
Speaker 4: and Samuel L. Jackson, the one where John Cusack goes
12:49
Speaker 4: to the hotel that Samuel L. Jackson telling him don't
12:52
Speaker 4: stay here. There's been over twenty six deaths in this room.
12:56
Speaker 4: I think that's the movie that doesn't get talked about
12:58
Speaker 4: enough in the conversation of good horror film. Let me
13:01
Speaker 4: know what your take on that is much love from
13:03
Speaker 4: the Tool of six and Happy Halloween. Lacin Rola, All.
13:06
Speaker 1: Right, Tony, video drum is awesome. Yes it's a lot,
13:10
Speaker 1: but I want to go to the next party here
13:12
Speaker 1: your comment here. I could not agree more about Strangers.
13:18
Speaker 1: One of the absolute scariest films I've ever seen, if
13:23
Speaker 1: not the scariest film I've ever seen. I love it.
13:27
Speaker 1: I love the simplicity of it. I think that that
13:29
Speaker 1: has a lot to do with why it's so frightening.
13:33
Speaker 1: Something about the subject matter, the home invasion piece that
13:37
Speaker 1: just man, what's scarier than a home invasion? I don't know.
13:40
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I've talked about The Strangers before
13:44
Speaker 1: with you guys. I haven't watched it though, in about
13:47
Speaker 1: two years. Maybe i'll maybe I'll break it out this
13:50
Speaker 1: week before Halloween's over. Thank you so much. As by
13:53
Speaker 1: the way, Tony, as far as fourteen ohacos, not only
13:56
Speaker 1: have I never seen it, I've never even heard of it.
13:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take your word for it. Loved on Cusack
14:00
Speaker 1: and I'll check that out. Great recommendations, Tony, Thank you,
14:04
Speaker 1: my brother. All right, let's do some text. Let's check
14:07
Speaker 1: out this text from the nine seven, who says, I
14:10
Speaker 1: know this is controversial, but the movie that creaked me
14:13
Speaker 1: out the most was The Blair Witch Project. Up until
14:16
Speaker 1: the very end of the movie, I was unimpressed. And okay, guys,
14:19
Speaker 1: spoiler alert if you've never seen Blair Witch Project, just
14:22
Speaker 1: telling you, turn the volume down for a minute and
14:24
Speaker 1: then come back. Nine oh seven goes on to say
14:26
Speaker 1: I was unimpressed and thought it was the hoax that
14:29
Speaker 1: it is. However, the guy standing in the corner right
14:32
Speaker 1: before the video ended abruptly got me. I was freaked
14:35
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the night. Lisa from the
14:38
Speaker 1: nine oh seven Lisa, we forget man, we forget how
14:43
Speaker 1: huge Blair Witch Project was culturally for those of us
14:47
Speaker 1: who were there at the time. It was a massive
14:50
Speaker 1: movie and it was just one of those things. You know,
14:52
Speaker 1: it couldn't exist now because of the Internet. You know,
14:55
Speaker 1: it would have been spoiled and it wouldn't have had
14:58
Speaker 1: the run that it had in theater. But it was
15:01
Speaker 1: just one of those things that was like wildfire and
15:04
Speaker 1: you had to see it. Word was this movie. Oh
15:08
Speaker 1: my god, get get to the theater, now, go watch it.
15:12
Speaker 1: And thankfully when I saw it, I didn't know what
15:16
Speaker 1: was up I was. I went in fairly ignorant, which
15:19
Speaker 1: is the best way to go into seeing this movie,
15:21
Speaker 1: and the experience was incredible. I'm obviously talking about it
15:25
Speaker 1: in in kind of a veiled way right now in
15:27
Speaker 1: case anybody's turned the volume back up after that spoiler alert.
15:30
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away. It's a great experience.
15:33
Speaker 1: Check out Blair Witch Project. If you haven't. If you
15:35
Speaker 1: happen to be one of the few people in the
15:36
Speaker 1: world out there who has no idea what this movie
15:38
Speaker 1: is or doesn't know anything about it, you're lucky. Consider
15:43
Speaker 1: yourself privileged, and just go watch it. Don't don't go
15:46
Speaker 1: to the internet, don't ask questions. All right, let's check
15:49
Speaker 1: out seven three. Who says, Hey, I am still terrorized
15:54
Speaker 1: by two horror movies my four older brothers took me
15:57
Speaker 1: to see at the tender age of seven and eight,
16:01
Speaker 1: all unbeknownst to our parents, The Exorcist and Phantasm, and
16:08
Speaker 1: they still creep me out to this day, so much
16:10
Speaker 1: that I still can't watch or listen to anything about them.
16:13
Speaker 1: God damn man, I can't imagine seeing The Exorcist as
16:16
Speaker 1: a seven year old, never mind as a seven year
16:19
Speaker 1: old in nineteen seventy three when it was released. After
16:23
Speaker 1: everything I gave you earlier in the B block about
16:26
Speaker 1: what it was like for theater goers, I was reading
16:29
Speaker 1: this morning something I didn't mention. I wonder, Unfortunately the
16:32
Speaker 1: seven o' three didn't give me her name. I wonder
16:35
Speaker 1: if you had this experience seven oh three. I was
16:37
Speaker 1: reading William Peter Bladdie, The Guy who wrote The Exorcist.
16:41
Speaker 1: I was reading an interview with him this morning and
16:42
Speaker 1: he was talking about how, you know, most people now
16:46
Speaker 1: or whenever he said this, I don't know when he
16:47
Speaker 1: said it. It was some years after the Exorcist, but
16:50
Speaker 1: he was like most people assumed that the reaction, the physical,
16:54
Speaker 1: the visceral reaction that people had in the theaters was
16:56
Speaker 1: because of the obvious stuff like Linda Blair vomiting, you know,
17:00
Speaker 1: and like Dayglow Green and her head turning around backward
17:04
Speaker 1: and again, the crucifix thing and all that. But he said,
17:09
Speaker 1: the thing, the thing that really got to people and
17:13
Speaker 1: that made them nauseous in the in the in the theaters,
17:17
Speaker 1: made them freak out, was the needle and the blood splurt.
17:23
Speaker 1: And he said that was it every time. It was
17:26
Speaker 1: that simple. And I can't disagree with him. I wonder,
17:32
Speaker 1: seven or three, if you had that experience, you were
17:34
Speaker 1: there at the time. I suspect that it wasn't just
17:37
Speaker 1: the needle. It was probably the vibe that had been
17:39
Speaker 1: set and the tension and where people were and how
17:42
Speaker 1: the movie was, how they were sitting within the movie,
17:46
Speaker 1: and they were just primed for something so real too,
17:50
Speaker 1: but simple to have such a huge impact on them.
17:54
Speaker 1: That and of course the music. As I said, all right,
17:57
Speaker 1: let's check out the three nine who writes, Hey, I
18:02
Speaker 1: want to give you flowers. I heard about your podcast,
18:06
Speaker 1: and since I heard about it, I gave it a
18:08
Speaker 1: listen and I'm completely hooked. And my wife and I
18:10
Speaker 1: own a dance and performing arts studio, so when I'm
18:12
Speaker 1: not working my full time job, I'm up there at
18:15
Speaker 1: the studio putting some work in. Thankfully, my work is
18:17
Speaker 1: simply behind the scenes, but being that it is a
18:20
Speaker 1: dance and performing arts studio, music is definitely a big thing.
18:23
Speaker 1: I want to bring this message to a close because
18:26
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm beginning to ramble on and I
18:27
Speaker 1: don't want to come off like some crash test dummies.
18:30
Speaker 1: Cheese side note, that's one of my favorite parts of
18:33
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you three oh nine guys. I don't
18:36
Speaker 1: know why, but I love the text in the emails
18:39
Speaker 1: that let me in on a little bit of the
18:42
Speaker 1: personal stuff from you guys where you work, especially not
18:46
Speaker 1: too personal. I just like, you know, thinking about people
18:49
Speaker 1: out there getting through their day listening to the stuff
18:52
Speaker 1: that we put together over here at Double Elvis to
18:54
Speaker 1: help them pass the time. I don't know. It means
18:56
Speaker 1: a lot, maybe because I spent a lot of my
19:00
Speaker 1: young adulthood doing jobs. You know that I needed something
19:04
Speaker 1: to help me pass the time with and I know
19:06
Speaker 1: how valuable that is. And to think that we're kind
19:09
Speaker 1: of contributing to that, I don't know, it just makes
19:10
Speaker 1: me feel good. So yeah, feel free to hit me up.
19:13
Speaker 1: Let me know what you guys are doing for work,
19:16
Speaker 1: and especially if you're listening to Disgraceland while you're doing it.
19:19
Speaker 1: And remember question of the week for next week, guys,
19:21
Speaker 1: greatest rock album of all time six one seven nine
19:24
Speaker 1: oh six six six three eight think about this one.
19:27
Speaker 1: Don't think about don't roll your eyes, don't don't do that,
19:30
Speaker 1: don't stop stop, just stop. It's a serious question. I
19:34
Speaker 1: know it's basic, but it's a serious question. Okay, it's
19:37
Speaker 1: a hard question when you think about it. The simple
19:39
Speaker 1: questions are the hardest. Like when someone asks you how
19:42
Speaker 1: you doing. Yeah, simple question, It's sometimes hard to answer.
19:46
Speaker 1: The one hand, I'm doing great, doing what I want
19:49
Speaker 1: to be doing right now. On the other hand, there's
19:51
Speaker 1: about ten other things I could be doing. You know
19:53
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I don't know how to answer this question.
19:57
Speaker 1: It's so hard. I mean Springsteen to run, Led Zeppelin,
20:02
Speaker 1: four AC, DC, Power Ridge, Bad Brains, I against I.
20:06
Speaker 1: There are so many records, rock records. Yeah, I know
20:10
Speaker 1: Bad Brains is a hardcore band, but my eyes are
20:12
Speaker 1: a rock and roll band. So many different ways to go.
20:15
Speaker 1: You got one like really picture just you can't listen
20:17
Speaker 1: to another one for you can listen to other music,
20:19
Speaker 1: you just can't listen anymore rock? What's it going to be?

21:44
Speaker 1: Daniel Kay writes in hey Jake, disgrace Land team, I'm
21:49
Speaker 1: a big fan of your podcast paid subscriber and have
21:52
Speaker 1: been listening for over a year now. I love the
21:54
Speaker 1: deeply researched stories behind our favorite bands, and especially discovering
21:57
Speaker 1: new artists that have somehow slipped by me. I'm also
22:00
Speaker 1: always racking my brain for my own recommendations for artists
22:05
Speaker 1: that you haven't covered, which is hard, but I don't
22:08
Speaker 1: think you've done one. On the fantastic and criminally underrated
22:12
Speaker 1: Doctor John. Well, Daniel, you will be happy to know
22:17
Speaker 1: all the way over there in Berlin, Germany, that I
22:21
Speaker 1: am recording the Doctor John episode next week and it'll
22:25
Speaker 1: be coming your way. Well, I don't know, maybe early
22:28
Speaker 1: in the new year, I think perhaps, or no, actually
22:31
Speaker 1: before the end of this year. Yeah, so there you go, Daniel,
22:35
Speaker 1: talk about that. Talk about instant satisfaction. All right, I
22:39
Speaker 1: got an update for y'all. Some of you may have
22:41
Speaker 1: heard that we've been planning something big on Patreon, who
22:44
Speaker 1: was supposed to drop this week, but due to an
22:46
Speaker 1: unforeseen issue, a good issue, by the way, we're holding
22:50
Speaker 1: that launch back. Along with the increased pricing for Patreon
22:55
Speaker 1: membership that we've been talking about. The price is going up,
22:58
Speaker 1: as they say, but uh, it's not going up just yet.
23:02
Speaker 1: Like we thought. New content coming to Patreon very soon.
23:05
Speaker 1: And and if you're still on the fence about becoming
23:08
Speaker 1: a disgrace lant all Access member, you still got time
23:11
Speaker 1: to join for just five dollars a month before prices
23:14
Speaker 1: go up. More news on this soon, and I'll be
23:17
Speaker 1: back in a flash. All right. This is not an
23:34
Speaker 1: episode of sixty Minutes. This is, of course the part
23:38
Speaker 1: of the show where I rant about my third favorite
23:41
Speaker 1: subject behind music and movies, of course, and that would
23:44
Speaker 1: be sports. Matt stop the buzzer beater. This is the
23:47
Speaker 1: sixty second sports rant and under thirty seconds, and it
23:50
Speaker 1: is once again sponsored by five Hour Energies new Pumpkin
23:52
Speaker 1: Spice flavor, your favorite fall drink, and an energy shot.
23:55
Speaker 1: You can pick up a Pumpkin Spice five hour Energy
23:57
Speaker 1: Shot available online at five hour Energy Dot. All right,
24:01
Speaker 1: bring that ticker back in. Listen. This year's World Series
24:04
Speaker 1: has been incredible thus far. The Los Angeles Dodgers versus
24:08
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays, and I'm watching these games with
24:11
Speaker 1: my sons and we're riveted. The series is now nodded
24:15
Speaker 1: at two games a piece. There was an historic eighteen
24:19
Speaker 1: inning game this week. Show a Atani is playing at
24:21
Speaker 1: a level that the baseball gods never could have imagined.
24:24
Speaker 1: But it's not just a Tani who didn't win last night.
24:27
Speaker 1: By the way, Blue Jay's one with Otani on the mound.
24:30
Speaker 1: It's not just Otani's brilliance, and despite his loss last night,
24:35
Speaker 1: he has been brilliant. It's the teams. Okay, you can
24:41
Speaker 1: just see it. The Dodgers in the Blue Jays are
24:43
Speaker 1: legit powerhouses in all phases of the game, at the
24:46
Speaker 1: plate on the mound and the bullten on defense on
24:49
Speaker 1: the bass pass. Each team has legit bullfaced stars. The Dodgers,
24:54
Speaker 1: they're stacked Otani Freeman Bets. Why can't we get players
24:57
Speaker 1: like Bets? By the way, anyways, Blue Jays Vlad Junior
25:01
Speaker 1: Bashett the little bowling ball behind the plate, Kirk these teams,
25:06
Speaker 1: watching them, it's painfully obvious to me how far the
25:09
Speaker 1: Red Sox are from contending at a championship level. And
25:12
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of you guys out there, pirates, fans.
25:16
Speaker 1: It's so it's so hard to watch. You know, we
25:20
Speaker 1: see it. We see what it takes to win championships,
25:22
Speaker 1: and to know that you're not there, it sucks. Okay,
25:27
Speaker 1: my team socks. They've got pieces in place, but they
25:30
Speaker 1: need so much more. And this is of course the
25:32
Speaker 1: Red Sox ownership and management group that we're talking about,
25:35
Speaker 1: So I have little faith that they're gonna sign the
25:37
Speaker 1: right pieces to compete. They'll find they'll sign some of them,
25:40
Speaker 1: and then they'll talk about how they signed all of them,
25:42
Speaker 1: but they didn't and next year we're gonna be right
25:44
Speaker 1: back same position we're in now, looking at two legit
25:47
Speaker 1: powerhouses in the World Series, and we're not gonna be
25:49
Speaker 1: one of them. But hopefully next year one of them's
25:52
Speaker 1: not the Dodgers, and they're not you know, and there's
25:54
Speaker 1: no it's just so I can't watch Mookie Betts in
25:57
Speaker 1: the World Series. Man kills me. I love the guy,
25:59
Speaker 1: but it kills me. You know what? All right, Matt,
26:01
Speaker 1: I know I went long there, but it all had
26:03
Speaker 1: to be said. And listen. That's the sports sponsored by
26:07
Speaker 1: the good people at five Hour Energy and their new
26:09
Speaker 1: Pumpkin Spice flavor. These new Pumpkins Spice five hour Energy
26:12

26:17
Speaker 1: favorite fall drink, and an energy shot. You can pick

Speaker 1: up a Pumpkin Spice five hour Energy Shot available online

Speaker 1: at five hour Energy dot Com or Amazon. Hollywood Land
26:25
Speaker 1: the Rap Party. What's doctor Zeth Lundy cooking up in
26:28
Speaker 1: that feed? You ask, Well, let's check in with Zev
26:31
Speaker 1: and find out. Here's a clip.
26:33
Speaker 6: I watched a couple of seasonally appropriate movies this weekend
26:37
Speaker 6: but even more importantly than the season, these are some
26:40
Speaker 6: of the huge blind spots in my viewing history that
26:43
Speaker 6: I'm finally correcting after all these years. Why are they
26:46
Speaker 6: blind spots? Why have I not seen them? I don't know, Man,
26:48
Speaker 6: shit happens. Sometimes it takes a minute or a year
26:51
Speaker 6: or a decade for me to come around. But like
26:54
Speaker 6: Johnny Cash says, the man comes around. And first I
26:57
Speaker 6: watched Evil Dead to the Sam Raimi horror film from
27:01
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty seven, And of course I know about the
27:04
Speaker 6: legend of Evil Dead in terms of its importance in
27:07
Speaker 6: American independent cinema in the nineteen eighties. You know, Sam Raimi,
27:10
Speaker 6: of course, was an early collaborator with the Coen Brothers,
27:13
Speaker 6: and you can see they stole his shaky cam move
27:17
Speaker 6: in their first two films, Blood Simple and Raising Arizona.
27:20
Speaker 6: But I also I feel like Evil Dead two borrows
27:24
Speaker 6: that Looney Tune sensibility liberally from Raising Arizona. I mean,
27:28
Speaker 6: it's kind of like the horror film equivalent of Raising Arizona,
27:32
Speaker 6: don't you think, like in terms of energy, the comedic sensibilities,
27:36
Speaker 6: and the whole turning weakness into strength or necessity being
27:40
Speaker 6: the mother of invention thing that makes movies like these
27:43
Speaker 6: so great, so rewatchable. I mean, Evil Dead two is
27:47
Speaker 6: probably one of the most inventive films I have ever seen.
27:51
Speaker 6: This movie is like simultaneously a satire of a genre
27:54
Speaker 6: as well as a great representation of that genre. And
27:57
Speaker 6: then Bruce Campell, who I mentioned before in National Treasure,
28:00
Speaker 6: he's like at Wiley coyoteing the whole thing. You know.
28:04
Speaker 6: You can say this about a lot of things, and
28:05
Speaker 6: I do often, but I think it's demonstrably true here
28:08
Speaker 6: that they don't make them like this anymore. Is it
28:11
Speaker 6: even possible to make a movie like this anymore?
28:14
Speaker 1: You know?
28:14
Speaker 6: And so obsessed with questions like what would you do
28:17
Speaker 6: if your own hand was possessed by an evil spirit
28:19
Speaker 6: and was trying to kill you?
28:22
Speaker 1: All Right, you guys are the best. So you're already
