  Speaker 5: Hi, guys.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: My name is Fred. Thanks for having me, gentlemen.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I just had a Philly cheesesteak, and nothing has ever
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: hit my stomach that hard that quickly. I feel bad
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: being in Louisville with all this great food and having
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: a Philly cheesesteak at a mini mall across the street.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We do have a lot of restaurants. I won't lie.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous the amount of food we have here. What's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: great food? I asked the lady at my hotel. I said,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: if I wanted to eat something real quick, where.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Should I go?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: She said, you can go to the Hard Rock or Fridays.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I said, all right. Well, I said, it's like I
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: think like if there's a thought bubble and then a
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: speech bubble in a comic strip. My speech bubble said, okay.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: My thought bubble was, bitch, I didn't come.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: To Louisville to eat at a Friday's.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: I'm going to market, excuse me, toast on market and
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I'm going to order the king.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: That was the greatest meal I've had in my life.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I had it yesterday and then I went home and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: shit a waiter.
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We do have classy, classy restaurants around here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: It was so good, dude.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a lot. Like, really close. Jack Fry's.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: We haven't talked the whole time so far. Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Can you hear him? As much as I ever can, yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not used to sitting this far away from the mic,
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: so my podcast, we have to swallow them. Really? Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Just because it's phallic. Well, whatever, you know, you need
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to do. As long as we get it back eventually.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: We should. We just like a lot of background noise.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Try to let the air conditioner have its say.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Try being on stage with that sound. That's a joke.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: That's a laugh-erasing sound. It's really uncanny. They told me
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: last night it's controlled by the complex, not by the club.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So I was going to have him just turn it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: off for the second show.
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, we'd have to, like, call the city. Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: get him on the phone. That means the hard rock
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: would have no AC. That's fine. You weren't going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: go get a burger there anyway. No, but I had
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to get a Philly cheesesteak. I'm sweating.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Look at this. Maybe that wasn't a good idea. How's
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: your Philly cheesesteak? It's good. My niece Emily says it's good,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: so it's good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: She's like two bites in and mine's gone. You were
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the guinea pig. I kind of swallowed that thing. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: destroyed it. I thought you guys were in a hurry.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm assuming most people are probably familiar with your work,
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: but if.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We need to do a rundown.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: Where do you want to begin? I mean, you start
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: off pretty early on and end up in the cast
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: of Saturday Night Live.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That's kind of huge.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: That's a big one.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That's a small fraternity.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, even now, it's... And it's harder than anything,
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: I think, to stick around there, it seems like. There's
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: a lot of politics going on, so it seems.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think it might actually work against you to stick
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: around there, too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's a weird fraternity, too.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: It's... Like, people you've never met that were on the show,
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: if you meet them out in public, you sort of
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: grab it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Like, black guys always nod at each other in the mall. Bikers,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they wave to each other. Yeah, you see it as, like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: if I just ran into Rachel Trash, I'd be like, hey,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what's up?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: You just.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's a knowing thing, you all, yeah. Actually, I have
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: met Rachel Trash, and that's exactly what happened. Oh, really?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Because it's Sundance.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Ah!
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, oh my God!
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Ah!
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Can you believe that place? Jesus. Ten minutes in, you realize,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we've never met. Wow.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: Well, then you created Last Comic Standing. That's kind of huge,
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: or at least in the beginning.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I like the comics in the house.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I stopped hosting when the, that was a big mistake,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: tactical error on my part.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I should have just written it out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah. That's when I didn't realize keeping it real was
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: real wrong. ride the money train until it crashes into
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: the center of the sun.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Did they keep you on as producer.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: As it went on it's kind of you can't get
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: rid of the creator yeah uh capital i mean god that's.
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: How you build yourself before abraham i am uh yeah
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: so i you know i still got some dough but
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: what i would have liked to i if i had
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: to do it over again i would have stayed on
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: to host but.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: I probably would have made enemies because I would have
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: complained all the time that we were just doing evening
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: at the improv.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Because at that point, it's just star search. You just
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: keep introducing comics. And I really loved when the comics
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: were in the house. But I thought this was a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: movie podcast. Well, you know, I'm just giving people history
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: on you. I mean, you've done plenty of movies, too.
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: Everything from Jerry Maguire to you just did, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Hereafter with Clint Eastwood.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I did a real small part in Burt Wonderstone, the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Steve Carell, Jim Carrey movie. And that was so.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Fun and real that was a real big moment.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: It's a i mean it's a small part but uh
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: i play rick the improbable we're all like uh bad
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: magicians oh no i'm like the word like even my
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: name is awful but it was weird in a great
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: way to be on a set and when you realize
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: i'm ad-libbing with steve carell Because you're used to doing
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: it your way, when you ad-lib, and then somebody like
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Steve Carell ad-libs in a completely different.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Uses different math.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: And then it becomes like the Winchester Mystery House, where
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: you're just going up stairways you didn't even know you had,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: and you're opening weird doors and stuff, and really playing,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: you know, shaping and moving and fun.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, It was really fun.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I can't stress enough how small it was, but I
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: also can't stress enough how enormous an experience it was.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: That should be funny, but it is just the right
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: amount of perfect to fail. What could go wrong?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It could be Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, James Gandolfini. Sometimes
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: those perfect scenarios.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: All fall apart.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It's all magicians. Sometimes it's so good it becomes heat. Terrible.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi are like Siegfried and Roy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Like old school guys with the jumpsuits and crazy hair.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Straight, though.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And then Jim Carrey is.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Like David Blaine. He comes and lets audience members punch
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: him in the face. He pulls their card out of
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: his wound.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That sounds really good.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Then it becomes like Breakin'. Where they have to have
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: like a magic competition to save like the rec center.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Save the rec center.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's like old school magic versus new school magic. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: they have to reunite.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: I actually belong to a magician's union in my hometown
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: that met up over the JCPenney. I think I still
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: get letters from them.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: There is a union for magicians? It was like a club,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and all these guys would go there. And I was like.
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: Maybe 11, and I would go. And all these guys
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: would do magic, and they were really good. And then
• 8:41
  Speaker 10: they would have guest magicians like the Frito-Lay magician.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I remember him coming. And he's buried over in Cape
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Hill Cemetery. There's a statue of him. That statue is amazing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: That's huge.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Why does he have a statue? He had a lot
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of money to buy... He could afford a statue.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: And Frito-Lay, like, the company?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a magician for Frito-Lay. And he would
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: go out and sort of advertise... Children's hospitals and stuff. Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And he was really good. I like to think he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: was Mexican and his name was Frito.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Frito.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Frito Bandito, the magician. They're bringing that back now. Well,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: thanks for having me. I like talking about movies. Definitely.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: What made you guys decide to do a whole movie podcast?
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: Ongoing obsession of mine that's uh yeah that's and that's
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: kind of what i was going to go into with
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: you i mean that was sort of mine i've sort
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: of tried to backtrack over the years and figure out
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: what exactly made me love movies and then what made
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: me love them so much i guess i needed to
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: center a whole show around it but um which i've
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: come up with different theories but um I was going
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: to go into, I mean, you've got a lot of other,
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: you know, you've got stand-up and you've got, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: the movies and TV. What was it that made you
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: want to do a podcast? Because now you've started your
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: own podcast.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Well, it's all, I'm an egomaniac. So it's all, you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: how do I sell more tickets? at my shows and
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: how do I get more people to pay attention to
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: me I know I'll be on their computer I'm going
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: to tell you names of movies and you say overrated
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: underrated or push okay okay Godfather 2 push Who asked you?
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: You did.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Or were you talking to him?
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: I was talking to him.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Push.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Push?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I think Push is the way to go on that one. Fred? Yeah, Push.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Godfather 1.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Say it. Just be a man and say it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Overrated?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It is. But you got James Caan, so it saves
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you a little bit. The World's Greatest also ran.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Goodfellas.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Underrated. Inexplicably underrated. Forgotten about these days.
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: You know, they never answer that, but they raise that
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: question in The Sopranos and never answer it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: It's that priest, what's her name's priest? Carmela's priest. Paul Schultz.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he, in one of the early episodes, he says, well,
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: what does Tony think about Goodfellas?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: How does he rank Goodfellas? They never, they just leave
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it hanging. That's how they left the whole show hanging
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: at the end, right? Yeah. Goodfellas seems to be.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: People go, how can it be underrated? It's the best.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, that's... It's underrated the way the Beatles
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: are underrated.
• 11:28
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You think you got it all figured out.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: And you're the baseline and you never give.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Me your money and go, oh, wait a minute. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: have to listen to this all over again.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: I think it's gotten forgotten these days. It was so
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: huge in the 90s.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Way overrated. Massively overrated. It's horrible. It's just funny that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: people even talk about it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I've said that Scarface is to rappers what Goodfellas is
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: to comedians.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: That's about right, actually. That's not bad.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's just made to sell posters and
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: trend items at this point. T-shirts and And most of
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: the kids wearing the Scarface stuff have never seen Scarface.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I would like to make Scarface from the rapper. T-shirts
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of him.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: You probably could sell that. He's underrated. That's how it goes.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: To be cool. They ought to remake it with Steve Carell.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: That'd be just as ridiculous.
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Her womb is polluted. What?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Who I trust?
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Nobody.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: That's who. I can kind of see him doing it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, Admiral Abraham is a human. Yeah, what could
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: go wrong? I can see him doing this, yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: More games?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: No, it's the pauses that make the podcast. I just
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: didn't know if we had more.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: To go through.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: No, I'm all out.

  Speaker 3: Of the beast!
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Alright, so we're back with Movie Meltdown Sofa Theater.
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: This week's Sofa Theater feature is Do the Right Thing,
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: The Year is 1989, Director Spike Lee, and the plot,
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: according to IMDb, On the hottest day of the year
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: on a street.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: In the Bedford... Stuyvesant. Stuyvesant. There you go. You're from
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood, right? You're New Jersey. Bed-Stuy. Bed-Stuy. The Bed-Stuy
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: section of Brooklyn.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: Everyone's hate and bigotry smolders and builds until it explodes
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: into violence.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. You've had since 89, so get to work
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: on this one.
• 21:17
  Speaker 12: What's up?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: I'd say, where do you want to begin? But, I mean,
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: you've got Rosie dancing right there. So I guess from
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: that point, we'll get into it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: It's an excruciatingly long opening credit. Spike Lee must have
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: been madly in love.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: With Rosie Perez.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I think so. Because there's really no reason for Rosie
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Perez to do that absurd dance to the entire song,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: the remixed long version of Fight the Power, with boxing
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: gloves on.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I think the beginning, it's entertaining. And then by the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: time she's doing the weird stomach dance, I mean, if
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it was just like a.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, it could have just been camera shots through
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: the neighborhood to fight the power.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But no.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Because fight the power is hard to beat. Yeah, definitely.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: As far as a great opening. Opening credits are a
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: tricky thing. I loathe them. I really need you to put.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: A piece of the movie in the opening credits.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Because if you just show me a babbling brook, And
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: two and a half minutes of like second unit director.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I'm out.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I hate it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: I like when you get either the credit sequence or
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: the pre-credit sequence that's.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Kind of like its own little mini movie kind of thing.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Those are awesome. That's the best way to go about it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: I like a little cold open of acting things. And
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: then something that makes me, that ends with me going, whoa, okay.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: And then a song and credits as we're moving around
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: through to where one of those people I just saw live.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: But Do the Right Thing, it's Rosie Perez dancing.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Like a fool. And for the entire song.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Her outfit keeps changing. Just in mid-frame. It's so terrible.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: It's so.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And boxing gloves and... Yeah.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: As I'm sitting here talking about it, maybe... I think
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: it's a movie.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Spike Lee made perfectly by accident.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Because he hasn't really hit one out of the park
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: like that before since Inside Man was really great and
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I like Summer of Sam but it's so in my
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: opinion Do the.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Right Thing is perfect and now I'm sitting here talking.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: About it I get annoyed the annoyance I'm feeling about
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Rosie Perez is the annoyance everyone feels about each other
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: at the beginning like everyone's all through the movie everyone's
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: on each other's nerves because it's so hot.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm like I'm off with the dancing but I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: don't think he did it on purpose And we'll get
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to more of that later.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: Because Act 3, the big, giant turning point of the movie,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: there's no way he did that on purpose.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: But it's amazing how it pans out. Anyway, I guess
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that later.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: It's really like, he did, it's very NYU film school. Like,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of shots for shots' sake. A lot
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: of weird, like, the side of the building just happens
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: to be lit bright orange. That's just how weird the
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: sun was that day.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Like, well... I don't know.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: I like the visual representation throughout it because it's so consistent.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: It's always this overly colored, and everything has a red, orange, yellow.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's playing on that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 18: Hot thing, and you do kind of get that feeling.
• 24:28
  Speaker 18: It does play that it's coming through. Sometimes it has
• 24:31
  Speaker 18: that quality like people who paint with acrylics. Probably to
• 24:35
  Speaker 18: heat it up a little. Mixed with Sesame Street.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: When Ruby Dee is in her window, I expect the
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Deedlebugs to be.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Singing underneath her.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: I was hoping Oscar would come out of that trash can.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I love Ozzie Davis as the homeless guy. He's great.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: The mayor. You asking a lot, asking a man that
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: changes malt liquor? That's the mayor. Drunk ass. He's pretty impressive.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: It's one of those going back and re-watching, I think
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: I'd forgotten how good he was.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: He's so great in Jungle Fever as the super Christian
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: father of Samuel Jackson, the crackhead.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, you know what? If you haven't seen these movies,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: then you shouldn't be listening to this podcast. When he
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: finally shoots his own son. It's so biblical and so great.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And the way Spike Lee shot that house in Harlem,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the inside of Ruby Dee?
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: And Ozzie Davis, the inside of their house is so
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: incredibly shot.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Anyway. Ruby Dee is mother's sister.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, mother's sister is Ruby Dee and Ozzie Davis, just
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: the whole movie just tries to get her to go
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: on a date.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: She's just a drunken bum walking around the neighborhood in
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: a suit.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: But holding on to that last bit of dignity and
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Ozzie Davis, the only guy alive that could play that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Part and still have an eyelash of class. Like you go,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: That guy was classy. He plays it that way.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: Because he almost ends up being our real main character.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: He's there equally as much as we're following the story.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: And as it goes on, you really start to like him,
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: where I think I have issues with Spike. As the
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: story goes on, his character kind of comes into question,
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: whereas Ozzy's gets better and better.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: His character comes into question right away.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: He, like, wakes up his sister messing with her eyeballs
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: with his bad breath. He's just a jerk. On the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: only day she can sleep late. He's a jerk. What's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the matter with you? Yeah, Mookie seems to be a
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: bit of a creep.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just really puts me off.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: And he, um.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Spike.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Casting yourself is not.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: And this goes for, like, Woody Allen, too. Well, not
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: in Annie Hall, not in The Greats, but, like.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: now it's like you know what i don't need to
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: see quentin tarantino and quentin tarantino like it's your movie
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: dude you're good i got you you're in charge of
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: the whole.
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: Thing it was funny when it was mr brown because
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: you had like two lines yeah by pulp fiction like
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: okay really you couldn't have found anybody else for this
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: part exactly uh it's a little ego spike drew.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: A thing it's okay it's okay but by the time
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: you get the clockers you're like you've got to be
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: kidding me dude because that was one of the greatest
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: books i ever read And then I saw the movie
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: and went home. Because I'm pretty sure Scorsese and Spike
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: Lee fought for clockers.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And you go, oh my God, if Scorsese did clockers,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: lights out.
• 27:27
  Speaker 19: Lights out, man. Spike has the opening and he bookends
• 27:32
  Speaker 19: the movie with himself. Anyway, so we do the right thing.
• 27:35
  Speaker 19: Rosie Perez and then Spike Lee bothers his.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: Sister by poking her eye.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: She goes, your breath stinks. And he goes, it's your
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: upper lip.
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: That's funny because their relationship plays so well and then
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: you realize why it plays so well.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That is his sister.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Jay, I think her name is, right?
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Jay Lee?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah. There's a great scene where Danny Aiello, the owner
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: of the pizzeria, and do the right thing. It's just
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: so nice to Spike's sister. Danny Aiello was nominated for
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Best Supporting Actor. When I watched the movie, I didn't
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: get a feeling like he was hitting on Spike Lee's sister. Really?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: You did?
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. Okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He goes, hey, you know what?
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: She goes, I'll just have a slice.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: He goes, hey, you know what?
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I'm going to make you something really nice.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make you a slice.
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: I'm going to make you something really special, all right?
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: You sit down, and I'm going to make you a
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: real nice slice. So, like, that's his, he's such, like,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: blue collar, like, awful blue collar. Like, his way of, like,
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: really wooing a chick is, I'm going to put some
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: meat on your thigh.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: I'm going to double the cheese and not charge you $ 2.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Now, you know what? Then you cheaps out.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: And then Spike Lee goes, you can fire me right
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: fucking now.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Because he thinks he's sitting on his sister.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: I think there's a little of that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, let's get the best comeback line. He goes,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you know what, Mookie? Not for nothing. But if you
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: were just a little bit taller, I'd kick you right
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: in your fucking ass for what you're thinking. If you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: were taller.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: How great is that?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: If you were just a little bit taller. And Danny
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Aiello could pull that stuff off.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: He was incredible in that movie.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I just killed your fucking radio.
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, he can play both, and that's worked
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: so well with this, because this movie kind of makes
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: everybody skate the line of what side do you fall on,
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: and who's, you know, especially once you get into the
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: racial stuff, and who's being.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Kind of racist. It's a racial, it's which side are
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you on. And Richard Epson straddles the line.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: He's friends with Mookie. And John Turturro is so far
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: over to the racist side. And Danny Aiello, you think,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: is on the black side.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: And to some extent he is.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I always thought he was. That's where I think the
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: mistake that Spike made, thank God he made it because
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: he made it a great film, comes in because when
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: John Turturro goes, my friends, they make fun of me,
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: they go, go serve pizza to the movies, go ahead.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And then Danny Aiello sits her down and goes, do.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: You friends put food on your table, clothing on your back?
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They're not your friends, Pino. And then Danny Aiello said
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that really sweet thing where he goes, these kids.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: They grew up on my food.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really nice.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: It's really sweet.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Like, I saw them when they were kids, people.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: They grew up on my food. So it is weird
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: when they're on a hill towards the end of the movie,
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: just takes that crazy-ass turn, drops hand bombs on everybody.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's just both.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: I think he's kind of like that, and he has that,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: if nothing else, he has that pride. And it's that
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: pride in ownership that he has in the business, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: it's pride that he did kind of help to raise
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: this whole neighborhood.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But he's also kind of old school. He's just like
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a no-nonsense kind of guy.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: So anytime somebody pushes him along those lines of, you
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: don't tell me what to do with my business, you
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: don't tell me what to do with my family kind
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: of thing.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: He lets Ozzie Davis sweep up the front walk and
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: pays him. Because it's the way it was.
• 31:12
  Speaker 13: Every day.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: It doesn't need to be swept. And I think it's,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: John Turturro goes, every day there's Azu Pep. I still
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: don't know what Azu Pep means.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I think he made up half those terms.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: And then Spike Lee goes, Azu Pep.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: And he goes, Azu Pep.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Every day he lets his Azu Pep sweep up the walk.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: And then he goes, hey, the mayor's a good man.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's it. He's just kind of old school.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Azu Pep.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: He remembers like the way that things used to work.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: And I tried to look it up, but I don't
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: know how you spell it. I just like Spike Lee
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: going in his face. He also, is it the right
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: thing when he goes, why don't you talk a little?
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: He goes, why don't you talk a little brother talk
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: to him?
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Brother talk.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: It's like anything racial that John Turturro's called on in
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: the movie.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: He repeats to the person's face louder. Like you heard
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: me brother talk.
• 32:04
  Speaker 17: Brother talk.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: He goes, why don't you go talk a little brother
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: talk to him?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Brother talk, brother talk. They have that great line on
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the cigarette machine.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Remember cigarette machines?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: We don't have those now? He goes, who's your favorite
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: basketball player?
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: He goes, Michael Jordan. He goes, who's your favorite actor?
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: He goes, Eddie Murphy.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Spike Lee says to John Turturro, who's your favorite singer?
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: He goes, Bruce. He goes, no, it's Prince. He goes, Bruce.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: He goes, it's Prince.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: He goes, Bruce.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: He goes, it doesn't matter. He goes, excuse my language
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: on this one for real. My niece's hair. This is
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the wife. She goes, you keep making fun of niggas, Pino.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: But all your heroes are niggas. He goes, but they're not.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: They're different.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Michael Jordan, he's different.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: He's not like that.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: They're different.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know what? Your hair's kinkier than mine, Pino.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're black.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: And John Turturro goes, hey, fuck you and fuck Michael Jackson.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And then Spike Lee says, fuck you and fuck Frank Sinatra.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: And then John Turturro goes, hey, watch it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Like the sacred cat, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Not so nice. I'm wondering how many times you've seen
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: this movie.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: You seem to have this script memorized.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It seems like you can do this movie. Yeah. It's
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: my one-man show.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: That's why I picked it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Jay Moore does the right thing. Yeah. Hey, Sam, how
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: come you got no pictures of brothers on the wall?
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: You want brothers on the wall?
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: Open your own.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I heard you have a reservoir dog somewhere. Open your
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: own pizzeria. You could put brothers, you could put your
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: fucking uncles.
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: Did you actually do the whole movie of Reservoir Dogs,
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: just the audio track?
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: No, somebody on YouTube put up me doing Reservoir Dogs,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: and I just did all the different impressions, and somebody
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: inlaid photos of all the people.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: It's really funny.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Not me, I'm not saying I, but the fact that somebody.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: pulled me.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Doing it from the op and anthony radio show and
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: put it up on youtube it's really.
• 33:58
  Speaker 20: Larry i don't care how mad you are at me
• 34:00
  Speaker 20: that's not half as mad as daddy's gonna be at
• 34:02
  Speaker 20: us look you if you torture that guy enough he'll
• 34:08
  Speaker 20: say he's starting a chicago fire that don't mean it's fucking.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: True true he's a good kid.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: You got shot in the gut. All right.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: We're starting the Chris Payne animated show and you're taking over.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It's too loud an impression. Blow out your mic. Your
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yamaha mics. Oh, wow. I don't know.
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: That's something I've always kind of thought in society and
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: why people are so weird about that.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Because by the time we got... What do you mean
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: by that? Well, having that double standard.
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: I always thought that once entertainment got involved and it's like,
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: We had all these people back in the 40s and
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: into the 50s, throughout the years, but at that point
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: where you had the entertainers would be able to play
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: in these clubs, but it was nothing but white people.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: They'd bring them in through the back door, they'd come
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: up on stage and perform for all the white people,
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: and then they'd go back out through the kitchen. I'm like,
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: why are they okay to perform for you? Why can't
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: you sit there and clap for them because you think
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: they're so amazing as a performer, but they can't drink
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: out of the same water fountain as you?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: That's always been ridiculous.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Being black really must be like living in the twilight
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: zone in America. It's something that, you know, we're always
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: going to be on the outside looking in. We could
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: not possibly have any idea of the ridiculousness of difficulty.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Like, just to be judged from across the street. We
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: have no idea what that's like.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: But do the right thing.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Robin Harris was in Do the Right Thing, one of
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the greatest comedians that ever lived. is entertaining. And half
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the best lines come from him.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: And what's great about Do The Right Thing is suddenly
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: now there's tension between the blacks and the Koreans.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: And they're fighting amongst each other. And the whole, it
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: just all comes up to like the end of that
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: hottest day. Like there's your super racist John Turturro. Your super,
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: these kids grew up on my food, father figure in
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Danny Aiello. Then there's your clowns, like your Greek chorus.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: There's Robin Harris and the two other guys, the Haitian
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: guy and the other guy.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, one of them is the police chief from
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: The Wire.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That guy.
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: And then there's the Korean guy, so there's the interloper. Somehow,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: like Daniel Yellow, at least, you know, I built this
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: place with my bare hands. Now there's the Korean across
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: the street. And there's this weird soup. Everybody's forced to
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: live together.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Radio Raheem's blasting his music all the time.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: And then at the end of the movie... It all
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: just goes, it literally goes up in flames. But I
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: don't think, when you watch the movie, Danny Aiello smashes
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Bill Nunn's boom box in with.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: A baseball bat.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: And says, I just killed your fucking radio. And then
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: drops N-bomb, N-bomb, N-bomb, N-bomb. And then all the people
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: in the pizzeria that were hanging out, having a nice time.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, because they come up right as Danny Aiello closes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: And they're like, come on, Sal, let us in. It's
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Spike Lee, his sister, Martin Lawrence, and comedian Steve White.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: And then Daniel Yellow, and John Turturro's like, no, beat it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: And then Daniel Yellow goes, four slices down out of here.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Like he's even being nice now.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Again, it's like he loves providing for them.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: He unlocks his door and allows them in. And feeds them.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: And then, Bill Nunn comes in.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: With the radio, cranking fight to power, thankfully with no
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: rosy press.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: This time. And then he just goes, he bashes the
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: radio in, and he drops N-bombs all over the place.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And then everyone just.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: Then they attack Danny Aiello, and a huge fight erupts,
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: and then I guess Bill Nunn gets choked out by
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: a cop. Yeah.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: The cops, I think, I don't know their names, but
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: they're like straight porn and gay porn.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: That's their names.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: The one that looks like Jeremy one's Daniel Aylor's brother
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: yeah really the one that goes this hydrant better stay off.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: Frank Vincent when they spray the fire hydrant on his
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: car and he goes what are their names Moe and
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: Joe that's their names Moe and Joe what sir Moe
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: and Joe Black he goes what do you want us
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: to do he goes what do I want you to
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: do I want him locked under.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: The fucking jail cause they got his car wet But yeah, then.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: But the thing about do the right thing is Spike
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Lee throws the trash can through the window of the pizzeria.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: And then they all just go in and riot and
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: light it on fire. But then he goes back the
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: next day to get paid. That part kind of killed me.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: And it makes me sympathetic to Danny Aiello.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, he.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: And I guess... I guess that's the cultural divide between
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: white and black. I don't know what it's like to
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: watch that movie as a black guy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: Well, that's what Spike Lee said. He said, people say, well,
• 39:02
  Speaker 10: did Mookie do the right thing? And he's like, only
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: white people ask me that question. Because the way he
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: put it is it's valuing white property over black life.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't get that. That's absurd.
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: That is absurd, because it's more like valuing white property
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: over white life because he did it to divert the
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: anger from the guy to his property.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Right yeah um or.
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: At least that's the way it comes up but i
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: don't know when i watch the movie it really feels
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: like the crowd's sort of dying down at that moment
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: and that energizes them again of course he.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Could have filmed it the other way and you could
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: i don't know You know, to be perfectly.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: That's a good point, Fred, because they are dying down
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: because they all have those lines to camera like, that's.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Messed up what he did, man. Tired of you and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: those three stooges you sell.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Robin Harris says, I'm tired of you and those three...
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: There's only two sons.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: That's funny. Robin Harris goes, I'm tired of you and
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: those three stooges you sell. I don't feel like saying
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that again.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: I like that Danny Aiello and his sons... In Manhattan,
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: there's always like a little gate where you put your trash,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: and it only comes up like waist high, and that's
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: where they're standing.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: And for some reason, during this race riot, they're completely safe. Well,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Ozzie Day puts them over there, but he closes the gate,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: so then we can get to them. They're completely safe.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: He closes the gate.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: I'm beat.
• 40:43
  Speaker 21: Daddy, you know, I've been thinking. Maybe we should sell
• 40:48
  Speaker 21: this place. Get out while we're still ahead and alive.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: You really think you know what's best for us, Pino?
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe we could... Can we sell this and open up
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: a new one in our own neighborhood?
• 41:07
  Speaker 14: There's too many pizzerias already there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Maybe we could try something different.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: What am I going to do? That's all I know.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: What am I doing? I've been here 25 years. Where
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: am I going?
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: One of the most impressive things about it, and I
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: think it's just from the writing standpoint, too, because it
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: was written by one person, and how balanced he makes things.
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, it would have been really easy to make this,
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: you know, to make the white characters very stereotypical, or
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: to make them look like horrible people.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: But He does it. He kind of makes it pretty
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: even across the board with, like, everybody.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: A friend of mine and me, we were marveling, and
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: this goes to Jungle Fever, too, at how exceptional Spike
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: Lee writes for Italians.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Like, he writes Italians better than any Italian writer in
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: the world. Like, when there are, I mean, Jungle Fever,
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: when they're like, you know, at least my brother's not
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: a fucking crackhead.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: My brother's a recovering heroin addict on methadone, so fuck you.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: He stole my car radio.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: How do you know he stole it?
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: He tried to sell no fucking thing back to me.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: Like that huge.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Argument they have when John Turturro's at his newsstand.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: I'm doing different Spike Lee movies, but, but even in
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Do the Right Thing, he writes for Italians, so wow,
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: it's really, he must have really studied them as a, like,
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: He must have grown up.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he didn't.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: But the dialogue, like.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: You said, it's not stereotypical at all. If anything, it's exact.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: It's real. It's frightening. I grew up in New Jersey,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: surrounded by Italians, and it's exact. Just the way... What's that, Fred?
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have trouble with the movie, really.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 42:59
  Speaker 10: And I think one of the things... I mean, it's stagey.
• 43:02
  Speaker 10: It's not really naturalistic.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: It's like a play.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: It is like a play. I don't mind that necessarily.
• 43:09
  Speaker 10: But I guess the thing that I have trouble with
• 43:12
  Speaker 10: is that all the conflict is on the surface. And
• 43:17
  Speaker 10: how can you represent racism in America if it's all
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: explicit and stated? Because really most of it is hidden
• 43:28
  Speaker 10: and cowardly And people don't come out and say what
• 43:31
  Speaker 10: they mean. They say other things that don't make any sense.
• 43:34
  Speaker 10: And they hide the fact that they're being racist most
• 43:37
  Speaker 10: of the time because everybody knows, oh, you shouldn't be racist.
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: But people are. I mean, you can blind test it.
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: And it's a fact that people do racist things. And
• 43:47
  Speaker 10: they don't think of themselves as racist. So I guess
• 43:50
  Speaker 10: the thing that I have trouble with is just that
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: everything is stated out in the open.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: But it's not, too, because Daniel Yellow doesn't say anything
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: until the one sentence.
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: He's probably the deepest character in the whole. I mean,
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: everybody else could be a little more.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: Is that the fatal flaw of Spike Lee, that everything
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: is always on the surface?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's a stylistic thing. I think she's got to
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: have it. I think those are awful, unwatchable.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: And people go, did you see She's Gonna Have It?
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: He made it when he was at NYU. And I'm like, yeah,
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: it looks like he made it in high school. It's
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: a huge leap forward from those first two to do
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: the right thing, both visually and just from a writing standpoint.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know what happened in that couple of years
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: from then, but it's a big improvement. And Fred's got
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: a good point. Everything is on the surface. The entire
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: movie is.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: It's extraordinarily hot.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: In case you don't hear the bickering, there's always the
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: hand gesture to show you that we're bickering.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: I don't think it exists in the real world. To me,
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: it kind of creates its own little universe. And you
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: get the weird colors.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: That's why I said Sesame Street. Yeah, it kind of is.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Sesame Street. But you get the
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: weird color scheme. You get that music soundtrack that never stops.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: It's like its own little kind of running thing. And
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: it becomes a little claustrophobic.
• 45:12
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: It becomes like Bitch's Brew after a while.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: It definitely.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Where after a.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: While you go, this music hasn't really stopped, as you said.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: It's non-stop. And I don't know, it creates its own
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: little scenario to me.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: So it feels like it's... It's a little removed from reality,
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: and I think that's why you kind of get a
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: little bit of a pass to make things a little
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: more cut and dry and a little more specific to
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: these characters.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: In a way, I think it works in this movie.
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: If it was a different movie, I think I might
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: have more problems.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I think it's like an all-time great movie, though. Oh, yeah.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Everybody thinks that.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: You don't.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: No, I really don't. I mean, what other problems? He
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't like blacks. There's a lot of blacks. That's a problem.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: This is the point where I have to bring out my, like,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not a racist credentials to defend myself. But no,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: it's really one of those things. I'm a human racist.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I believe in e-racism. I hate everyone equally. You said
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: that as Colin Quinn, yeah?
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: I'm a racist.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Human racist, yeah? Let's keep it PG, okay? For me,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: it's like kind of the difference....
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: It may be a stylistic thing, but it feels like
• 46:23
  Speaker 10: illustration to me. Like the difference between representing something and
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: illustrating something so he can tell us about it. It
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: definitely has its points, but it doesn't engage me in
• 46:38
  Speaker 10: the same way that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: A lot of other movies do. What Spike Lee movies
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: do you like?
• 46:43
  Speaker 10: I'm not really a big fan.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I've missed a lot of later ones.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: Son of Sam?
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I just saw it, and it was okay. I was
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: really in love with Inside Man. I liked it all right.
• 46:56
  Speaker 10: I mean, Spike Lee, for me, is not like Oliver Stone. Like,
• 47:00
  Speaker 10: I just won't watch Oliver Stone. I won't pay to
• 47:02
  Speaker 10: watch it. If it comes on TV, I'll watch.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: It, maybe.
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: Oliver Stone's another guy, like, where he hit home run, like, Platoon,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: Wall Street.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, JFK goes into batshit crazy territory. But it's
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: kind of impressive, though. Clay Burton's Clay Shaw.
• 47:18
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Like, Joe Pesci's, like, yeah.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: Kennedy was mixed up with gay hustlers where their wigs
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: fell off at sex parties. That makes perfect sense. And, like, Nixon,
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: I'll even go along for the ride. But then, like,
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: you turn, you go, this is a guy that either
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: went crazy....
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: That's a.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Oliver Stone's a weird one, too. But Oliver Stone,
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: I think, is more odd than Spike Lee as far
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: as the odd trajectory down.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Because Spike Lee, you see the ascension... And with Oliver Stone,
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: you see the desensitization?
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 47:53
  Speaker 10: I just swore off Oliver Stone when Platoon won Best Picture.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: Whoa, wait a minute.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not down with it. We're going to have a problem.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not down with that.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: That's one of the greatest movies ever made.
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: Platoon?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: So is Do the Right Thing.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: I've heard this before.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I said Do the Right Thing is in my top 100.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: Platoon is like a top 20, top 10.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: No.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: Dualities. Sometimes I feel like I was born of both men,
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: two fathers. It's Lias and Barnes fighting for Charlie Sheen's soul.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: He hates the dialogue. I've heard this story before.
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: It's the dialogue. I should have picked Platoon.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: The dialogue in both movies, yeah, just drives me nuts.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: What part of the dialogue could you possibly.
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: We're done. We'll do the right thing. Yeah, okay.
• 48:37
  Speaker 17: What part of Platoon... Again, it's just like... It's kind
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: of like illustration. It's like somebody is writing at me
• 48:45
  Speaker 17: instead of like... drawing me in.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Like, by the time it gets... I got a bad
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: feeling about this one, Bob.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: How's it going, man? Not good, LT, not good. This
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: cocksucker's got every car on the deck.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Is that true with Sergeant Barnes? Yep.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: What'd you say, LT?
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: You want to join us? See, I like these movies
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: better than you just do.
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: These boys are probably trying to rape me.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: So?
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: What do you say I'm up to be, LT?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Jewish? Jewish!
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: How's that writing at you? That's about as underground as
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: you could be. Well, the joke is, if you want
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: to be raped, you're somehow a Jewish person. Like John Reilly,
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: just playing the stupidest Vietnam veteran ever.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: I was watching Walking Dead last night, and there's this
• 49:31
  Speaker 10: scene where Norman Reedus is like, you know, he's angry
• 49:38
  Speaker 10: about this and angry about that.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: And you can tell it's just messed him up that
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: the little girl died. And they don't say that. Nobody
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: ever says that.
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: But you can tell, and they're writing it so that
• 49:50
  Speaker 10: you can tell how people behave, and people don't say
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: what they mean.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: All right, I'm going to give you some platoon things
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: that's not written at you. Yeah. Okay. They're all smoking
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: opium in their forward operating base, and they're talking about
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: how they should kill Tom Barringer, right?
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Charlie Sheen says, I say we fry that
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: fucker tonight. And he goes, let me tell you, the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Puerto Rican guy goes, Barnes has been shot six times.
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: Barnes ain't dead. Barnes ain't meant to die.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Only thing to kill Barnes is Barnes. And off in
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the corner you hear, you all talking about killing?
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: You all experts?
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden they all freak.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: Out because they realize Barringer has heard their entire conversation. Right?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: And that scene, you think you're being written at? Because
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: he goes, he walks in, he goes, well, I'd like
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: to hear about it, Potheads.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: And he takes the hash pipe out of the Puerto
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Rican guy's hand, and he looks at the pipe, and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: he goes, y'all smoked this shit so as to escape
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: from reality.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: And he leans up against the post, and there's a
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: Christmas light. It's a perfect movie. He goes, y'all smoked
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: this shit so as to escape from reality. And he
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: leans up against the post, and there are Christmas lights
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: going across his head. And he goes... I am reality. Like,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: it's the most, and he goes, the way it ought to,
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: the way it is, and the way it ought to be.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: I got no problem what a man does, as he told,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: but when he don't, when we break down, the machine
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: breaks down. Gentlemen, I can't have that. So it's like,
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: Berender's whole rap in that scene, he could go in like,
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: and go, you guys just fucking talking about killing me? Like,
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: what's the, and then he goes into this sideways thing
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: about like, the actual bureaucracy of the war.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: When the machine breaks down, we break down.
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: He knows his part, right?
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: And he knows they love the foe so much. And
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: he goes, y'all love lies.
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: I get that.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Y'all want to kick ass. And then he says, there's
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: six of you boys.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: You remember this?
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm here all by my lonesome. Ain't nobody gonna know.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: Kill me. Remember this?
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Vaguely.
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: And there's a long beat.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: They all look at each other.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: No one moves because they're frozen because he's got that
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: scar on his face.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: And then Berenger says, ah, shit, I don't owe you.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: And it took me about 12 viewings before I.
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: And I asked Charlie Sheen this on my podcast. Barnes
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: really wanted them to.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Kill him because he can't fucking die. Watch that scene again.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: You can pull it up on YouTube. It's got German subtitles,
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: so I think on YouTube a bit. And when you
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: watch it again, Watch it knowing that Barringer, Sergeant Burns, really,
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: it's a plea.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: He's begging them.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: Kill me. And that's why he's almost crying when he says,
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: it's not machismo, like, I could kick your ass, I
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: shit on all you. He's crying, I shit on all you,
• 52:58
  Speaker 5: because none of you guys have the fucking balls to
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: do what I do all day, and that is just
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: fucking kill Vietnamese people, and I'm begging you guys to
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: kill me. And I think that's, I don't think that's being,
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: I can't, it's how you feel.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: It's not exactly what I'm talking about.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: I feel like I'm observing. Like, when Pesci, like, amuse
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: you how? Do I amuse you like a clown? I
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: always get uncomfortable watching it. Like, I'm at the table,
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: and I get super bugged out. Like, I don't, when
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: I'm watching it on my couch, I don't move, because
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: I don't want him to look at me next. Like,
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: that's how I feel watching that scene.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: In Platoon with Berenger, where I'm like, uh-oh. Y'all talking
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: about killing? Y'all experts? visceral thing, I don't feel it.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: There's an incredible, enormous, fatal, fatal, fatal flaw in Platoon
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: which makes it perfect. And it's when Defoe dies.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't seen this movie.
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: You haven't seen Platoon? No, it's good that you're in
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: a movie podcast.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I know, it's really working out.
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: It's a movie podcast with guys that haven't seen the
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: greatest movies of all time.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. but I've seen Willy Wonka the new one twice.
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: When Dafoe they Berenger tells everybody that Dafoe got killed
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: but he because he doesn't have the balls to kill
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: Dafoe himself so they leave without Dafoe and they look
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: out of the helicopter and they see Dafoe running running
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: to the landings of the LZ and Charlie Sheen's like
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: he's fucking down there he lies down there make that
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: chopper And there's like 400 Viet Cong soldiers chasing Willem
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: Dafoe out of the jungle, right? They look like ants.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: And then we get a closer look. And they just
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: shoot him. They just light him up. And Dafoe drops
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: to his knees. And it's a shot from the ground
• 54:48
  Speaker 5: looking up at Dafoe's front as he's getting shot by
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: 40 Viet Cong. And it's perfect timing where the helicopter
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: actually goes between Dafoe's arms. Like it's ridiculous how perfect
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: the shot is his squids don't go off.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: There's no blood. You ever caught that?
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: But it's such a perfect shot that you can't do
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: that over and go, well, maybe, it's like talking about
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: trying to recapture the magic, like how do we make
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: a helicopter go through his touchdown arms again when he's
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: doing his Christ pose?
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: If they did it now, they'd do CGI.
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: It's the sad thing. You know, Quentin Tarantino was on,
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: I think he was being interviewed by Ron Bennington. talking
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: about CGI, and he said, it's like training for a
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: boxing match, movie making. He's talking about why he never
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: used CGI. He says, it's not fair. And Ron Bennington goes,
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: how so? He goes, it's like training for a boxing
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: match and hitting the bag and running and jumping rope
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: and sparring, and then you get in the ring and
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: the other guy has a machine gun. It's just completely
• 55:52
  Speaker 5: not fair to use CGI.
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: But yeah, none of Willem Dafoe's squibs go up.
• 55:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but theatrically, seeing blood isn't absolutely necessary to a
• 56:03
  Speaker 10: death scene.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: That's what makes it so perfect.
• 56:05
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. And if he is the Christ
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: figure in the movie, what's more perfect than the fact
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: that he doesn't even bleed? He's not of us.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: He was never meant for all this.
• 56:17
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge platoon guy.
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: And you're wrong.
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: You just answered the question from earlier, though, as to
• 56:24
  Speaker 8: why I would start a movie podcast. Watching you talk
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: about that and Being so in love with a movie,
• 56:32
  Speaker 8: that's what I've found over the years now doing this.
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: It's like sitting there watching people get that involved in
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: a movie.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: You've got to get Greg Proops on your movie. Because
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: he'll pull like Sunset Boulevard and break it. Sunset Boulevard
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: is a little too mainstream. But he'll get like Soldier
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: in the Rain with Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason and
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: break it down to an elemental level where you're like,
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: I never really went that deep with it, Greg. He
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: was on my podcast, and we did like Baby Jane
• 57:00
  Speaker 5: for like 20 minutes. But you are in the chair playing.
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: You would have treated me this way if I wasn't
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: in this chair. My wife's obsessed with Joan Crawford. How
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: fucking horrible she is. And I never thought she was
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: particularly bad in anything.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: She's just crazy.
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: Everyone thinks she's really bad in everything. I love when
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: Betty Davis does the impression of Joan Crawford to order
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: booze over the phone. Hello. Am I feeling well?
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: If I send my sister to pick up some alcohol.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: But you are in a chair. Half the viewers just went,
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure what's happening. Are they changing the dial?
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: A conversation with me is like when you just move
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: the radio knob real quick. So yeah, Do the Right Thing,
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: and then Danny Ella got nominated, and he lost, and
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: Ozzie Davis.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: In hindsight, if I'm going to look back at Do
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: the Right Thing, not great, pretty good, pretty damn good movie.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Fred doesn't agree.
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: But I'm going to come off of great and say
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: damn good, and I'm going to say we should all
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: go back and really study and appreciate the perfection that
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: is Ozzie Davis. In a small role, which could have
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: been just thrown away by somebody hamming it up. The
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: dignity he brought, that homeless man. And then he's indignant
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: when he goes to buy Miller High Life at the
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Korean Deli, and they don't have it.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: They don't have it. And he's apoplectic.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: Like, he becomes an aristocrat. Like, bro.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Man, asking a lot, asking a man who changes malt liquor.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I think it's impressive visually.
• 58:39
  Speaker 8: I still think the way that he shoots it and
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: the angles that he.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Shoots things at. It's the TV show Batman.
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's done in such an unconventional way that I
• 58:49
  Speaker 8: still respond to that.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: And even he gets out of that. You watch his
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: stuff now and it's so... normal. Inside Man was a
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: straight up Hollywood movie. It's like, why did you stray
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: from that? Because I think that's one of the most...
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Because he wanted to get paid. That's what it is.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Because the studio said.
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: You'll direct this with Clive Owen and Denzel, but we
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: don't want any of your tricks.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't want weird shots. We want you to
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: act white. God, that's what it's come to. Maybe.
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: But I think it's impressively balanced on the writing, and
• 59:20
  Speaker 8: I think that's good.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Fred doesn't like the writing. It's a different thing.
• 59:24
  Speaker 10: I don't generally like message movies.
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: I just, I don't. I mean, so like, you know,
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: Atticus Finch. Yeah.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Same in the movie. What's more of a message movie
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: than that? It's not one of my favorite movies. Okay, good.
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: I think it stinks.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: I think it stinks. I think Gregory Peck stinks. I
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: remember the kid dressed as a ham. I like that. Oh,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: and I like Robert Duvall in the last couple of minutes.
• 59:56
  Speaker 5: No lines.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: No lines, yeah. I like Beaver. Yeah, I just like
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: him being there.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 5: It's so spooky.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: With his dyed blonde hair.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Because I forgot that was him. And then you see
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: it years later. It's like, it's baby Robert Duvall. Yeah,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: and you think he's going to rape everyone. I'm being serious.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 5: It's like a horror movie. It's shot like, they shoot
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: Duvall like he's Jason Voorhees. And he's just a guy
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: that didn't talk. He's just a guy.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 10: Stand up, boy.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Your dad is coming. Do you like Gregory Peck?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: He's horrible.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: He kind of does one thing.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 5: Let me pick up that name. I'm sorry I dropped this.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: Eddie Murphy told me. There it is. On the set
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: of Pluto Nash. I don't, you know, I don't want
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 5: to brag about my.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: I know you don't like message movies, but I was
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: in Pluto Nash.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 5: And the message is, sometimes garbage gets funded. Sometimes the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: studio will throw money at garbage trash heaps. Like Fraggle Rock.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 5: Because it was an actual trash heap. So was Pluto Nash.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: It's an allegory, really, the whole movie. It's the book
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 5: of Matthew in outer space with Louis Gluthman.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Every now and then.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 10: The only reason I express my dissatisfaction with anything is
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 10: because sometimes people can clue you in. You know, there
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 10: are whole reams of stuff that I just don't, that
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 10: just goes by me.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: It's not my thing.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 5: So you would like Platoon if there wasn't the voiceover
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: where he explains to you that he feels like both
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 5: men were fighting for his soul?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't like it more?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: You like Blade Runner director's cut without the BL? I
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: don't like Blade Runner. Then you're just an odd guy.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 10: Blade Runner, to me, I can explain why I don't
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 10: like Blade Runner. It's been explained to me that if
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 10: I pay very close attention, that some of the human
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 10: characters that I don't care about are actually androids that
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: I don't care about.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Why does that change the game?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 5: I saw the director's cut of Blade Runner at a theater.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 5: And it was like four and a half hours long.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: Literally, it was four and a half hours long.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 5: Because there's no VO and everything has to play out
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: in real time to somehow explain it. It's a movie
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 5: that needs a VO because you've created another galaxy of life.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: And it's amazing to me that a director would bring
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: this glop of shit.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: To a studio like, no, this is the way. This
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: In the studio for once, because they are, listen, listeners,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: the studio is never right.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Ever.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: But in this one case, the studio goes, I think
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: maybe it should be two and a half hours long,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: maybe three hours long, maybe a voiceover so the audience
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: knows what the fuck is going on. And I've got
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: to tell you the Eddie Murphy story real quick, but
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: Brian Koppelman wrote walking tall he was a guest on
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 5: my podcast and he did oceans 13 good writer and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: uh he said when they were rewriting walking was that
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: the one with the rock walking tall yeah yeah he
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: was brought on he didn't write it he was brought
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: on to fix it him and his partner yeah he's
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 5: like a play doctor yes and they had he did
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: his pass him and his buddy and the studio goes
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: it'd be really great uh it's great don't you know
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: don't get us wrong we love what you did but
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 5: we'd love it if the stick had a personality The stick.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 5: The stick. The two-by-four that he works with. It needs
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: a personality. That was a studio note. But Eddie Murphy
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: told me what got cut out of Clumps for The
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: Nutty Professor, when they're doing Cape Fear while watching Cape Fear,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: it's pretty impressive.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: When Sherman Clump is on his date with either Jada
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: Pinkett Smith or Janet Jackson, I don't remember which gal
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 5: it is, and they're watching Cape Fear in the theater.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: And then in the back, behind them is Buddy Love
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: laughing like Robert Mitchum. Or like, no, they're watching the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: Robert Mitchum Cape Fear. And behind them is Buddy Love
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: laughing like De Niro in the new Scorsese.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, hold that belly in, Robert Mitchum.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's so impressive and brilliant.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: And Eddie told me what the studio made him take out.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: I'm gregory peck and i'm not breathing in this scene
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 5: which is such a funny line and i go why
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 5: he goes they're like you know he's a friend of
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: the academy you're gonna make it i'm like but it's
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 5: the clubs like a studio was like didn't want to
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 5: upset gregory back in case he made a comeback at
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: 90 yeah yeah but it yeah to me he always
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: seemed like he wasn't breathing in.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: That scene I'm Gregory Peck.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: I'm not breathing.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: It's so funny.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 8: That's a good crossover, actually. Mixing the two Cape Fears.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: And it never dawns on most people, like, they're doing
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: Cape Fear, and they're doing the new Cape.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Fear while they're watching the old Cape Fear. Ugh.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 8: That's more clever than I gave the clumps credit for.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 5: And by the way, both Cape Fears suck.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: They're both terrible.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I hate Cape Fear.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 5: Robert Mitchum is the only... Robert Mitchum is so scary
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: as a regular-sized guy.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: De Niro's got the tattoos. The movie opens with him
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: doing dips naked in jail.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: And then he's got a chain. Counselor, come out, come out,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: wherever you are. And Robert Mitchum is just a guy with, like,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 5: a Hawaiian shirt and a hat. And there's one scene
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 5: of him punching guys out under a boardwalk.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: You remember that?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 5: And he's got, like, a four. It looks like his
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 5: jab is four feet long. He's just dropping guys by himself.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: And when the cops come up to Robert Mitchum in
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: the bar, he goes, Hey, I don't mind talking to you.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 5: You take that billy club out, fella. You better call
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: the riot squad.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: And that one sentence, you go, That's a scary fucking guy.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: I was in a gym in Buffalo doing stand-up. Not
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: in the gym. That would have been really weird.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Doing stand-up in Buffalo. During the day, I visited a gym.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: And there's all, like, actors, muscle-bound and shit. And everyone's like,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: thanks for the workout, Lou Ferrigno. You know, hey, Jean-Claude
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 5: Van Damme. And there's a picture of Robert Mitchum, a headshot.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 5: And it said, y'all keep lifting weights. I'll stick to
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: padded suits. Robert Mitchum.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: You guys know him? The only other thing I wanted
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: to touch on on Do the Right Thing was.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: Again with the Do the Right Thing!
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: You picked it, it's not my fault.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: I shouldn't have.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: I should have spoken to Fred first. You know, I'm
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: being serious. Rocky Horror Picture Show, overrated, underrated, push. Probably
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: in the real world... What do you mean, probably? Well,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: it depends on who you are. Are you part of
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: the cast? Because there's levels to Rocky Horror, so... Rocky Horror, over, under,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: or push. Over.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: Over. Yeah, it's terrible.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: We know it's terrible. That's why it's great.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: I hate people that tell me something's great because it's terrible. Like, no,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 5: that's why Letterman's monologue is so great, because it's bad.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 5: It's like a bad, it's an anti-monologue. No, it's bad.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: See, remember when you just told me it was bad?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: That's bad, because it's bad. It's Bechtian.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 8: So do you like Ed Wood type things?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen an Ed Wood movie
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: You're on a movie podcast.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 5: I'm a guest.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: I've seen many of those.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I'm a guest.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: I've seen lots of Ed Wood movies, I just haven't
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: seen for two.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: I've seen Ed Wood.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, well. Ed Wood's pretty good. I love not with you.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: Did you like that?
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: Rob Lowe and Piven and Thomas Chain.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: The guy that directed the Jeremy video. That's like his
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: big comeback. I'm out with you. You guys haven't seen it? Oh,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: I want to. I saw the trailer recently.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks pretty incredible.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you off mic. I can't tell you because
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I'll ruin it. Is this the one where they go
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: up to the cabin? Yeah.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: We've got three days and we're just going to do
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: drugs and pills. Yeah.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: And things get a little south quick. Yeah, it looks
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: pretty incredible. Out of control. It's almost like rope.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 16: Rope.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Overrated, underrated, push.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I think it's underrated.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: Completely underrated. I think it's underrated.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: When I found out that the guys were gay, I
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: had to watch it again and again and again.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: He's like, we're gay?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: The actors or the characters?
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Characters. It's based on Leopold and Loeb. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: It's just the way that it's put together, it's amazing.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I never saw it. Four, how many cuts? Five, six,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: whatever the number of reels are. See, all of them
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: were kind of behind the back.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: There's about one... This kind of legitimate cut, which was
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 8: really jarring.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: But on purpose jarring.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's very planned jarring.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: All the cuts are somebody in a black jacket walks
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: in front of the camera. Really? And then as they
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: clear a frame, it's a new reel. You've not seen Rope? No.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: What are you doing on a movie podcast? It's the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: right theme of this.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 10: I saw that movie filmed in the museum in Russia.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: It's all filmed in a single take.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: There's a horror movie that never has a cut.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: With the Olsen.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: Twin sister yeah I heard about it because it's just
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: what's her name Elizabeth Olsen yeah it's incredible did this
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: come out recently.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: Yes the last couple of years what's it called I don't.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: Know what it's called but it's incredible there's no I
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 5: can't figure there's no cuts it.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Just follows her through the house there are no I
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: cannot see one cut in the entire movie Wow.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 5: And it's just all for the house.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 8: They were setting things up, yeah, because they were like,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: the directors had people like, he would be following her
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 8: into a room over here. and things had to be
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: different in the other room. He had people behind him
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 8: changing things in the room. She would come back through
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 8: with the camera, and things would.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's going behind the camera changing things.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: It's funny how on film you can feel the mounting
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 10: pressure of an extended shot. Like, you can feel like, oh,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 10: don't fuck it up, don't fuck it up.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: The cope of the fantasy in Goodfellas. It almost gets
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: kind of like.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: Crossing the.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Street, I get nervous.

• 1:09:55

• 1:10:03
  Speaker 8: went oh my god this was before rodney king yeah

  Speaker 8: i mean it's weird how close this plays out that
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 8: we have police violence on a black man, and then
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: a riot breaks out. And this was two, three years
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 8: before the L.A.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 5: Riots.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: But it was after another one.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah I mean it's based it's based on another I
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: like how in your white world you have like a
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: half dozen there's only like a half dozen times that really.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Happen no but I'm saying I'm saying that I mean come.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 5: On how many times really has a cop beaten up
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 5: a black guy Rodney King and there was the other
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 5: one before that that's the time they videotaped it that's
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: how Fred sums up police violence there's a Rodney King
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: and the one that was before it what was that
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: called slavery I think it's called that's the one time
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 5: they videotaped remember that time Yeah, that one time. But,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's the thing.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Remember that Onion story? Police use exact right amount of force.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 16: I don't know.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's amazing how it led.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: It's prescient.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, how it so closely sets that up.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 8: Because that's when you realize that the movie is supposed
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 8: to be sort of this take on the way life
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: is in America. And it obviously was pretty damn close
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: because it all came true within a couple years.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: And to combat Fred's cynicism, I would like to think
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 5: that Spike set up like this allegorical little world, this
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: little neighborhood.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: I know it takes place in Bed-Stuy and they reference
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: it a lot, but I don't... I hope.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: But that's the thing with Spike is you don't know
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: how much of it is on the nose and how
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: much is like... Because.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: I'm sympathetic to Danny Aiello after, like, he goes back
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 5: to get his money. And what Fred said in the interview,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: only white people ask that question.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 10: Well, that's what Spike Lee says, but, you know, he
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 10: says a lot of things.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: That's true. I mean, he said a lot of things.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: He was in a documentary, 30 for 30, it's about, like,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: Reggie Miller, how he accused of torture the Knicks. And
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 5: Spike Lee goes, then all of a sudden, I'm on
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: the back page of the New York Post. Like, I'm
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: a jinx. And look, I'm never in it for the publicity.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: He's in a room.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: There's framed New York Post. Like, him in the New
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: York Post is framed. Like, he doesn't even realize that's
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: behind him as he's saying it.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Little man. But I'm available, Spike. Seriously. I'll play it Italian. No,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: I just killed your fucking brain.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: When you come to Sal's.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: There's no music, no rap, no music. No music.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 5: Perfect.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 10: I like the theatricality of it, but it's the kind
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 10: of movie I.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: Don't respond to.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 5: Can you watch it just for Ozzie Davis and go like, wow,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: this guy dies two years after this.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I like parts of it. I like parts of it.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 5: But I'm saying if you don't like it, can you
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: watch it and just follow a guy and fast forward
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 5: when he's not in? Like if you go, I'm just
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: going to watch Ozzie Davis's I like that storyline.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: What I don't like is.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: The blacks.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 10: Is it adding up to a message that I don't
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: really know what to make of? Because I wouldn't ask
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: the question, did he do the right thing?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Not because....
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 10: It's just because I don't buy the world of the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 10: story by that point. I'm really not believing the characters
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 10: all that much.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm getting to know them better.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 10: I feel the director manipulating the story and direction.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Very heavy-handed.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 10: That's the thing that I have trouble with. I just
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 10: feel the director taking me where he wants me to
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 10: go and making people say what he wants them to say.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 10: When I think, really, people say a lot of stuff
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 10: that isn't really what they mean.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: In that movie, people seem to be saying what they
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: mean all the time. What are your favorite movies, Fred? Oh, wow,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: I've got a lot of favorite movies.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 5: Just name a couple.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 10: Well, okay, I'm going to write off all of science fiction.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: I don't like science fiction.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 5: I'm with you.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: But my favorite science fiction, which I think is really horror.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: You just wrote it off.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: Well, it's on the borderline. It's the original Invasion of
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: the Body Snatchers. But it's really horror. It has a
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: science fiction thing to set it up. The one before
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: the Sutherland one? Or is it the southern one? I
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. No, the 40s. No.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Well, you never saw Rope.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Don't give me a face.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 10: A lot of favorite movies. We were talking, I'm the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 10: only person in North America who's ever seen The Stone Boy.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: It's a great movie. Even people who are in it
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: laugh at it. It's like nobody ever saw that movie.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: It's a great movie.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Name some of your favorite movies.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: Okay. How did this become a long thing?
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 10: Uh, Tomorrow is a great movie. I don't even know
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 10: what that is. Robert Duvall plays an inarticulate mountain man.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 10: It's based on a Faulkner short story.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: It sounds like something Will Ferrell would say on Conan.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 19: Robert Duvall plays an inarticulate mountain man on Conan.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Did you see Get Low? He should have been nominated
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: for Get Low. Time to get low.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: Did you see Get Low?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: He was not nominated.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 5: They've got something.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: I think it got a lot of press that he
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 8: didn't get nominated.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: He's the old crabby guy, hillbilly in town, and he
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: realizes everybody in town hates him, so he just fakes
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: his death.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: He wants to throw himself a giant.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: He doesn't fake his death.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I think I'm mistaken.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 5: He realizes he'll never be able to see his funeral,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: so he has his own funeral and attends it to
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: see what people... You should go up and say a
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 5: few words for me, though.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: Time for me to get going. Time for me to
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: get low. That's what he calls death. Time for me
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: to get low. Yeah.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 5: Will you wrap up through the right thing?
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: Fred will name a movie he likes that we've heard of.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Broadcast News.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: A great movie. One of my all-time favorites.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 16: I'll be the judge of that.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 5: Holly Hunter?
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She's four foot one. She's on Small People, Big World.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: Coen Brothers movies. I love a lot of Coen Brothers movies.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Didn't they just make a real stinker? I don't know.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Just came out with something.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 5: I love Barton Fink so much.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: The best part of Barton Fink, to me, is just
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: when Buscemi just keeps saying, my name's Chet.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: My name's Chet. He writes it down. And then he
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: writes it down, and it's Chet! Exclamation point. I remember that.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: I love Steve Buscemi's stuff.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 5: Steve Buscemi's so... You have no idea how funny he
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: is in real life.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: You could put him... on The Office.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: And he would, you could put him in any comedy,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: like Will Ferrell comedy, he would kill it.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: So that's why I'm a happy friend with the fabulous
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: Burt Wonderstone.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Ghost World. Ghost World is good. I really liked him
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: in that. He's, yeah, again. It's tipping automatically for the Burt's.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: Oddly, sinners around him. He doesn't get movies very often.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: The world's smallest violin.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: These girls bust their wrists. Besides waitressing, a girl that
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: didn't go to college. This is the only job they
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: can get. Give me my fucking book. Fucking Charlie Chan.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: Alright, sorry. I'm sleep deprived. It's nap time.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap this up. I think we should. First of all,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: I'm thrilled that we got together. Thank you for having me.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: I was glad to have you. I was glad you
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: were up for it.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 5: Now I'm going to start a Kickstarter account on Twitter
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 5: because I want to go to Hawaii.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got these bullshit like, we're doing a student film, kickstart.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Send me money because I want to stay at the
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: Four Seasons in the big room.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 5: What kills me is.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: They get the money.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 18: There's so many of them that people actually donate.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 5: I need 20 grand because I'm going to fly two
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 5: nannies with me.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to donate money to us. I throw it
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: out there all the time.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 8: We've got like one or two guys that actually donate.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, I got an idea. You get a Kickstarter account
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: for your podcast, okay? We'll get a nice round number.

  Speaker 1: Underrated.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Lucy was just talking about that.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: Underrated, right?
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: That was one of hers she would take in a
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: zombie apocalypse.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 5: Underrated?
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Underrated.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: So if you can get, yeah, if you can get
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: people on board.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 5: Bad Lieutenant. Which one? Under Overpush.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: There's only one.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 5: Actually, you know what?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: The second one was actually good. I didn't see the
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: second one. I didn't feel like seeing it. I think
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: you'll be pleasantly surprised.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 5: Nick Cage is a guy I always want to mock,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 5: and every time I watch him, I go, fucking guy
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 5: did it again. He got me.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: He's hit and miss. But when he hits, he hits.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: Peggy Sue got married. Oh, Peggy Sue. He was incredible
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 5: And he was, you know what?
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: He sins bravely. He's like Reggie Jackson.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 5: He swings for the fucking fence, and he may strike
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: out 3,000 times, but not in a row.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while, he gets one. Reggie Jackson
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: said to me, let me pick that up. I should
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: have dropped the name.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: He said, I struck out 2,500 times in my career. Now,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: I want you to think about that for a second.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 5: That's five years I never touched a baseball.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: But I didn't strike out in a row.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 5: 2,500 at-bats a year. That's five years in a 22-year career.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: He never touched the ball. But you just spread, you
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: had to spread your misses out. You just keep at it.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Never knock me down, Ray. Never knock me down.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 5: Underrated. Hey, Ray.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of my favorite movies.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's the greatest movie of all time.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 12: Which one?
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: It's my wife's favorite movie. And I'm so proud of that.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Because she will not watch violence. They robbed us because
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: they're miserable because their.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: Mother's taking up the fucking ass.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 20: They're going to give him that fight because he's going
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 20: in the army next week.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Stay in the ring. Dunk it out of the fucking ring.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: I know I've done a lot of bad things, Joey. Oh,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: this was your fucking shot.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: Pesci was great in that.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: Moriarty's like 30 playing 15. That's the only fatal flaw there.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: She still looks good. The guy don't even want to
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: fuck me no more.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: What do you think?
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 5: You're not right.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: You're wrong. Yeah, I made a lot of money off
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: your brother.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 5: More than.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Him. Bad Lieutenant Harvey Keitel.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: Over under push.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say under.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: What the fuck do you have to do to get
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 5: nominated for an Oscar? You jack off onto the side
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 5: of a car and you call Jesus a rat fuck.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 5: Where the fuck were you?
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: You rat fuck!
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: Where the fuck were you?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry!
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 5: In that scene... I'm sorry!
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: I've done so many bad things!
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 5: Then he kisses Jesus' feet as a homeless woman.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: That's... That's one of my all-time favorites, too.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: Bad Lieutenant.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: Dude, the right thing just got fucking blasted out of
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: my head. Fuck you, the right thing.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: It sucks. It's like watching fucking Batman and Sesame Street.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: It is kind of like that.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: I like when Spike Lee and John Turturro walk up
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: the wall of the building, but they tilt the camera sideways. Oh, yeah,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 5: that's cool.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: They act like they're walking up a building. All right,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: I gotta go, gentlemen. All right. Thank you, Alan. Thank you, Brian.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you. And thank you, motherfucking Fred. That's my homeboy
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: right there. Thank you. We good?
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we got it.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: Fred, you know what? You convinced me.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 17: Fuck you.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, good.
