1:38
Speaker 1: the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On
1:41
Speaker 1: this episode, we are talking about this week's full episode
1:45
Speaker 1: of Disgraceland on Heath Ledger. Favorite fight scenes from our
1:48
Speaker 1: favorite films, the sources that we used for our recent
1:51
Speaker 1: episode or Disgraceland, which helped us uncover one of the
1:54
Speaker 1: wildest paparazzi stories that we've ever heard, This one of
1:57
Speaker 1: fourse on Heath Ledger. And of course we're getting into
2:00
Speaker 1: your voicemails, your text your dms and more and as always,
2:04
Speaker 1: a whole lot of rosie. All right, disc goes, Let's
2:07
Speaker 1: say get into it. Where is the line? And how
2:23
Speaker 1: do you know if you passed it? That's the question.
2:25
Speaker 1: I've been close to the line. I think most of
2:27
Speaker 1: us have. I'm sure some of us though never have,
2:29
Speaker 1: and I envy you, But who among you has walked
2:31
Speaker 1: up to the line and stepped over it, either willingly
2:35
Speaker 1: or unwillingly. The line is madness. The line is extremism,
2:40
Speaker 1: The line is addiction. The line is obsession. The line
2:43
Speaker 1: is many things. You know it when you approach it.
2:47
Speaker 1: For me, it would always show up at about five
2:49
Speaker 1: am in some strangers kitchen. Most recently, however, it's shown
2:52
Speaker 1: up in my work. How far do you go? How
2:54
Speaker 1: high do you try to jump? Knowing that the more
2:56
Speaker 1: you try, the harder the pain when you fall, or well,
3:00
Speaker 1: we've discussed countless musicians who've crossed the line, murderers, cult leaders, addicts,
3:07
Speaker 1: and of course we've also discussed numerous actors who've crossed
3:10
Speaker 1: the line. Now, musicians tend to cross over. Like most
3:12
Speaker 1: people we know, and most people that we know and
3:14
Speaker 1: we recognize, the musicians incorporate their extreme behavior into their lifestyle. This,
3:20
Speaker 1: as you know, can be very scary when the successful
3:23
Speaker 1: or even struggling songwriter suddenly thinks he's Jesus and starts
3:26
Speaker 1: a real life cult well paging mister Manson. But actors
3:30
Speaker 1: tend to cross the line for their craft. Many make
3:34
Speaker 1: it back over the line to become themselves again. Most
3:36
Speaker 1: do to go on leading happy lives as family men
3:39
Speaker 1: and women or whatever. But of course many do not,
3:42
Speaker 1: and we've all heard the stories of actors famously committing
3:45
Speaker 1: themselves to the roles in many cases to achieve staggering
3:48
Speaker 1: creative success. Jamie Foxx gluing his eyeshut to play Ray,
3:52
Speaker 1: Charles Nick Cage having his teeth pulled without anesthetic for
3:56
Speaker 1: his role in Birdie, Robert de Niro breaking Joe Peshi's
3:59
Speaker 1: rib in Raging bull Ouch, Christian Bale, of course, losing
4:03
Speaker 1: sixty five pounds living on only an apple and a
4:05
Speaker 1: coffee a day to prep for his role in The Machinist.
4:09
Speaker 1: All these actors went further than was ever expected of
4:13
Speaker 1: them to make the roles that they were playing more authentic,
4:16
Speaker 1: more believable, more relatable, crossing the line with their method
4:20
Speaker 1: acting approach, playing the part, achieving success with sometimes dangerous consequences,
4:25
Speaker 1: and then most importantly, crossing back over again, like I said,
4:29
Speaker 1: to go back to their normal lives and eventually play
4:32
Speaker 1: other roles and act in other films. All of them survived.
4:34
Speaker 1: Everyone I just mentioned Jamie fox Nick Nicholas Cage, Joe Petci,
4:38
Speaker 1: Christian Bale, Robert de Niro. Heath Ledger did not. He
4:43
Speaker 1: crossed the line and it seems he wasn't ever able
4:46
Speaker 1: to fully make it back. Many elements contributed to Heath
4:51
Speaker 1: Ledger's death at a young age, but his death coming
4:54
Speaker 1: on the heels of his obsessive research into a commitment
4:57
Speaker 1: to his role in The Joker in two thousand, It's
5:00
Speaker 1: The Dark Knight is no doubt a key contributor. To
5:03
Speaker 1: say the role killed Heath Ledger is unfair and inaccurate.
5:07
Speaker 1: It's not like Heath Ledger didn't have agency. He did.
5:10
Speaker 1: But I believe while researching the role of the Joker,
5:15
Speaker 1: some internal tripwire in Heath Ledger was triggered, some line
5:21
Speaker 1: was crossed, and he never made it fully back. You
5:24
Speaker 1: can hear all about the results in this week's full
5:26
Speaker 1: episode of disgraceand However, one of the ways in which
5:30
Speaker 1: Heath Ledger's incredible research and commitment to the role manifested
5:33
Speaker 1: on screen in The Dark Knight is during the famous
5:37
Speaker 1: fight scene between his character The Joker and Christian Bales Batman.
5:42
Speaker 1: The results are violent, to say the least, painful, super real,
5:48
Speaker 1: and again you can hear about it in this week's
5:50
Speaker 1: full episode of Disgraceland on Heath Ledger. But it got
5:52
Speaker 1: me thinking about some of the greatest fight scenes in
5:54
Speaker 1: Hollywood history and trying to nail that list down to
5:57
Speaker 1: my five favorite five favorite fight scenes. And WHOA was
6:01
Speaker 1: this not an easy task. It is really an impossible task.
6:05
Speaker 1: Think about it. Think about how many great fight scenes
6:08
Speaker 1: there are in films, even movies that aren't action movies,
6:11
Speaker 1: comedies have great fight scenes sometimes. But that doesn't mean
6:13
Speaker 1: I'm not going to try to do this. It doesn't
6:15
Speaker 1: mean I'm not going to ask you for your five
6:17
Speaker 1: favorite fight scenes either. I am. But first here are mine.
6:21
Speaker 1: Number five Leonardo DiCaprio versus the Bear in Revenant, because
6:26
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like this before and it's indescribably
6:30
Speaker 1: violent and harrowing. I'm not even gonna try to explain
6:34
Speaker 1: what this is. It's just literally Leonardo DiCaprio's character versus
6:39
Speaker 1: a massive bear and they get in a fight and
6:42
Speaker 1: it's fucking unbelievable. You have to watch this. If you
6:46
Speaker 1: have not seen it, I guarantee you you've never seen
6:48
Speaker 1: anything like it before. Number four Batman versus Bane. That's right,
6:52
Speaker 1: not Batman versus a joker from the Dark Knight. Why.
6:54
Speaker 1: I don't know, To be honest, it's kind of heath
6:56
Speaker 1: ledgered out by the time I get around to researching
6:58
Speaker 1: this fight list. So there you go. Number three The
7:01
Speaker 1: Handsome Brothers versus everyone from Slap Shot. This might be
7:04
Speaker 1: my favorite, probably the funniest and most absurd, but I
7:08
Speaker 1: had to hold it at three for reasons I'll explain
7:11
Speaker 1: right now. Number two Tommy and Jimmy versus Billy Bats
7:14
Speaker 1: and Goodfellas. I know this is going to get some
7:16
Speaker 1: of you pissed off at me because it's not much
7:17
Speaker 1: of a fight. It's more of an ambush. But the
7:19
Speaker 1: Donovan saw im playing in the background, contrasted with Scorsese's
7:23
Speaker 1: violence makes this one hard to talk for me personally,
7:27
Speaker 1: and okay speaking to personally. And number one, the greatest
7:31
Speaker 1: fight scene in the history of Hollywood film. This is
7:34
Speaker 1: so stupid. It sounds so dumb coming out of my
7:36
Speaker 1: mouth trying to actually narrow this down to five. And
7:38
Speaker 1: never mind one the number one though, the number one
7:41
Speaker 1: fight scene. Though from my point of view, Rocky versus
7:46
Speaker 1: Apollo Creed in Rocky Why, okay, it has nothing to
7:49
Speaker 1: do with boxing, It has nothing to do with how
7:51
Speaker 1: it's shot. And yes, I know that the fight scenes
7:53
Speaker 1: in Raging Bowl and countless other movies are better than
7:56
Speaker 1: this fight scene. I know that by the end of
7:58
Speaker 1: Rocky we're not even sure who won. I mean, let's
7:59
Speaker 1: be honest. Can you actually remember the reason Rocky versus
8:02
Speaker 1: Apollo Creed is the greatest fight scene of all time
8:04
Speaker 1: is because of one word love. By the end, when
8:08
Speaker 1: Rocky is so beaten and battered that he can barely stand,
8:12
Speaker 1: he made it man. He went the distance, which is
8:15
Speaker 1: all he wanted to do, and in that moment his
8:18
Speaker 1: greatest and most triumphant moment, the moment where he personally
8:21
Speaker 1: persevered to slay his dragon, In that moment when the
8:24
Speaker 1: eyes of his beloved hometown of Philadelphia and of the
8:27
Speaker 1: world are shining down on him favorably, when Rocky succeeds
8:31
Speaker 1: and becoming the one thing he most certainly wanted to become,
8:35
Speaker 1: which is someone who wasn't just another bump from the neighborhood.
8:37
Speaker 1: In that great moment of personal triumph, what does Rocky do?
8:42
Speaker 1: He cries of for Adrian. He doesn't want glory, he
8:46
Speaker 1: wants his girl. It's love, love, love, and more love.
8:51
Speaker 1: It's all Rocky needs, and Rocky is the greatest love
8:56
Speaker 1: story ever told, because love is all any of us need,
8:59
Speaker 1: and so when the greatest love story culminates with a fight,
9:02
Speaker 1: that fight scene must therefore be the greatest two right right?
9:06
Speaker 1: I don't know, seems logical to me? Fight me if
9:08
Speaker 1: you don't agree, Actually don't. I'm not resorting to violence
9:11
Speaker 1: from my work. That would be crossing the line. So
9:13
Speaker 1: let me know you're five. Just five, Five favorite fight
9:16
Speaker 1: scenes from Hollywood history six one seven nine oh six
9:19
Speaker 1: six six three eight, voicemail and text. I'll be back
9:21
Speaker 1: in a flash. Let's talk for a minute about the
9:45
Speaker 1: sources we use for this episode. There are a couple
9:47
Speaker 1: of books out there that were super helpful for us.
9:49
Speaker 1: One called Heath Ledger, Hollywood's Dark Star by Brian J.
9:53
Speaker 1: Robb In. Another called Dark Joker Heath Ledger's Joker Transformation,
9:58
Speaker 1: the Filming Days of Dark Night and his Tragic Death
10:01
Speaker 1: by Marcus Dakota. That's another one. The latter is a
10:05
Speaker 1: little tough to find, I believe it's self published, but
10:08
Speaker 1: both books contained plenty of holy shit moments. Whether it
10:11
Speaker 1: was the idea that Heath may have had a hard
10:13
Speaker 1: time shaking his iconic role as the Joker, or even
10:17
Speaker 1: the one one of the most fucked up encounters that
10:20
Speaker 1: an actor has ever had with the paparazzi, but more
10:22
Speaker 1: on that later. In addition to the books, though, we used,
10:25
Speaker 1: of course, the twenty seventeen documentary I Am Heath Ledger
10:28
Speaker 1: as well, which Heath's family participated in after Heath's partner
10:33
Speaker 1: Michelle Williams gave the film her blessing. It's worth noting
10:36
Speaker 1: two that when we're researching these subjects for Disgrace Sand episodes,
10:40
Speaker 1: the more contemporary the subject, the less definitive research materials
10:45
Speaker 1: you have to go on sometimes. And what I mean
10:48
Speaker 1: by this is that if you're researching a subject like
10:50
Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando excuse me, or Bob Marley or
10:55
Speaker 1: any other major actor or musician or artist from the past,
10:59
Speaker 1: there's often a ton of sources out there in terms
11:01
Speaker 1: of major books, and you can pretty easily figure out
11:04
Speaker 1: which ones are perhaps more credible than others. And like
11:08
Speaker 1: I talked about the other week with Steve McQueen, it's
11:10
Speaker 1: often helpful to have a few at your disposal for
11:12
Speaker 1: different points of view, but with a more contemporary figure
11:17
Speaker 1: like Heath Ledger, it can be way more difficult to
11:19
Speaker 1: have access to a complete picture. And by complete all
11:22
Speaker 1: I mean is a portrait of the artist that has
11:24
Speaker 1: the benefit of hindsight of time, years and decades in
11:28
Speaker 1: which people who didn't speak before are now speaking. New information,
11:32
Speaker 1: new details come to light that weren't available before. Oftentimes
11:35
Speaker 1: you get sources who have different interests than those who
11:39
Speaker 1: are close to the subject, who aren't, let's say so
11:43
Speaker 1: concerned with maintaining legacy and that sort of thing, and
11:47
Speaker 1: often you get a more honest portrayal. Heath Ledger is
11:50
Speaker 1: of course gone tragically, but in some ways it's going
11:54
Speaker 1: to be a while before we truly understand some of
11:57
Speaker 1: the things about his life and some of the things
11:59
Speaker 1: about his death. And I say all this not to
12:01
Speaker 1: say that researching and writing an episode on Heath Ledger
12:04
Speaker 1: is more difficult per se. But it's just a different beast,
12:06
Speaker 1: and you should know that when you're listening to these
12:08
Speaker 1: more contemporary subjects in Disgraceland. However, I think we did
12:12
Speaker 1: the Heath Ledger story justice. You know, this was eventually
12:15
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this was originally a bad Lands episode that
12:18
Speaker 1: we released a couple of years ago. It's never been
12:21
Speaker 1: in the Disgraceland feed for the Disgraceland listeners. It is now.
12:25
Speaker 1: When we released the bad Lands episode, I was contacted
12:28
Speaker 1: by Vice Vice TV to be part of their series
12:33
Speaker 1: Resolved in their episode on Heath Ledger, and that invitation
12:38
Speaker 1: came on the heels of them hearing what was the
12:41
Speaker 1: Badlands episode which we produced on Heath Ledger, which many
12:45
Speaker 1: of you are now hearing for the first time in Disgraceland.
12:49
Speaker 1: And if you're curious, you can find that that Vice
12:51
Speaker 1: episode out there with me in it. It's on the internet.
12:54
Speaker 1: Just search Resolved Heath Ledger and you'll see yours truly
13:00
Speaker 1: there talking Heath. Okay, but I want to know what
13:03
Speaker 1: do you think about this episode we did? Where do
13:06
Speaker 1: you stand on Heath Ledger? What's his best performance? To me?
13:11
Speaker 1: It's either The Dark Knight or Broke Back Mountain. It's
13:14
Speaker 1: those two, and those two only in the in the
13:16
Speaker 1: sort of pantheon the apex of his career. Let me
13:20
Speaker 1: know which one you think. I don't know. That's a
13:24
Speaker 1: tough one. I'm thinking about it now. Sorry, I'm getting
13:25
Speaker 1: tripped up thinking about which one I actually think is
13:28
Speaker 1: better The Dark Knight or Broke Back Mountain. That's a
13:30
Speaker 1: tough one. It's a really tough one. And is Heath
13:33
Speaker 1: one of your favorite actors of the early two thousands?
13:34
Speaker 1: If not, who is? Hit me up? Let me know
13:36
Speaker 1: six one seven, nine oh six, six, six, three eight,
13:38
Speaker 1: and especially hit me up on your top five favorite
13:42
Speaker 1: fight scenes from Hollywood? Is Heath Ledger and Christian Bale
13:46
Speaker 1: from the Dark Knight? Does it crack your top five?
13:49
Speaker 1: If not, what is your top five? Six one seven,
13:51
Speaker 1: nine oh six, six, six three eight. Just like Michael
13:53
Speaker 1: from The four one.
13:54
Speaker 2: Five, Hey Jakes and Michael from hand Tranmick Michigan, you
13:58
Speaker 2: already named the greatest cover signs all along the watch Tower,
14:03
Speaker 2: Pretty Woman's Fine, that's my favorite track on that album.
14:07
Speaker 2: I actually think that, Uh, the cover of the Cakes too,
14:09
Speaker 2: and Where of All the Good Times Gone?
14:11
Speaker 1: Is awesome?
14:12
Speaker 2: Killer?
14:13
Speaker 1: All Right?
14:13
Speaker 2: Love your show, damn.
14:15
Speaker 1: Mike, Thanks brother. Yeah, we talked about those two in particular. Man,
14:20
Speaker 1: this is the subject that just keeps on giving. People
14:21
Speaker 1: don't want to stop talking about the greatest covers of
14:23
Speaker 1: all time. And I don't blame me. It's a compelling subject.
14:26
Speaker 1: But we talked about all the all on the watch
14:28
Speaker 1: Shower of course, and pretty woman? Where have all the
14:30
Speaker 1: good times gone? By? The Kinks? And I can't tell
14:34
Speaker 1: I should know this. Did the Kinks cover that from
14:36
Speaker 1: somebody else who wrote it? Or are you referring to
14:39
Speaker 1: David Bowie's cover of the Kinks vert? I always thought
14:44
Speaker 1: Bowie covered the Kinks? Am I getting this wrong? Let
14:47
Speaker 1: me know? Six one seven nine six six six three
14:50
Speaker 1: eight voicemail or text eight one four texts in. Hey,
14:54
Speaker 1: an episode about Ozzy Osborne trying to kill Sharon after
14:57
Speaker 1: the Moscow Peace Festival would be cool. Hey, we have
15:00
Speaker 1: that episode. It's in our archive. Go search out Ozzy Osbourne.
15:04
Speaker 1: You will get it, all right, check it out. Seven
15:06
Speaker 1: one nine rights in regarding Miss Harry referring to Debbie Harry.
15:11
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna say, Debbie Harry. Regarding Debbie Harry's
15:13
Speaker 1: Ted Bundy story, Colan, It's true. One of her besties
15:17
Speaker 1: is the jazz ensemble instructor at Ic, where my son
15:21
Speaker 1: learned how to connect reading the music to his synesthesia.
15:25
Speaker 1: She joined them on Fridays after school to sing. And
15:28
Speaker 1: that's it, and presumably seven one nine Get the lowdown
15:31
Speaker 1: from Debbie Harry there, all right, Yeah, I mean, look,
15:35
Speaker 1: I always believe this story for a couple of reasons.
15:39
Speaker 1: One and if you don't know what I'm talking about,
15:41
Speaker 1: I'm talking about we did a Blondie episode. A big
15:45
Speaker 1: part of that episode is Debbie Harry's claim that she
15:48
Speaker 1: was abducted and escaped from Ted Bundy in the early
15:51
Speaker 1: seventies in Manhattan. And I just did a little video
15:55
Speaker 1: reel of it and released it on Instagram, So it's
15:58
Speaker 1: resurfacing this top here for you guys. But a lot
16:01
Speaker 1: of people, so you know, if this is new to you,
16:03
Speaker 1: A lot of people call bullshit on this and think
16:05
Speaker 1: that Debbie Harry is mistaken or lying that she did
16:09
Speaker 1: not experience this event with Ted Bundy, and a lot
16:17
Speaker 1: and I talk about it in the video, and I
16:19
Speaker 1: talk about it in the episode. I talk about how
16:21
Speaker 1: this has been disputed, however I happen to believe it
16:24
Speaker 1: and the reasons I believe it or this. A lot
16:26
Speaker 1: of people say Ted Bundy was not in New York
16:29
Speaker 1: at that time, Okay, do you really know? Do you
16:32
Speaker 1: really know? Now? There is competing evidence that he was elsewhere.
16:35
Speaker 1: But it's not like we have an exact timeline of
16:39
Speaker 1: where Ted Bundy was at every moment during that decade
16:43
Speaker 1: and who he killed. There's all this circumstantial evidence that
16:47
Speaker 1: points to the fact that there were many more victims
16:49
Speaker 1: that we don't know about. Plus there's also evidence that
16:51
Speaker 1: though people say he was not or could not have
16:53
Speaker 1: been in Manhattan at that time Debbie Harry claims this
16:55
Speaker 1: incident took place, there is evidence that supports that he
16:58
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia, which is like less than a two
17:01
Speaker 1: hour drive away from New York. So it stands to
17:04
Speaker 1: reason that he could have gone to Manhattan. Okay, put
17:07
Speaker 1: that aside for a second. Debbie Harry is a very
17:10
Speaker 1: sophisticated person. Okay. She clearly knows that when she puts
17:16
Speaker 1: this stuff out there and continues to defend it, that
17:19
Speaker 1: people are going to call bullshit on her and attack
17:22
Speaker 1: her credibility. And I think Debbie Harry is the type
17:25
Speaker 1: of person who actually gives a shit about her image,
17:28
Speaker 1: about her legacy. And I think if she found out
17:30
Speaker 1: that this was impossible and that she perhaps was mistaken,
17:34
Speaker 1: you know, her lion eyes, whatever it was, she would,
17:38
Speaker 1: if not corrected the record, at least she would have
17:42
Speaker 1: stopped making this claim, which she has not. And now
17:46
Speaker 1: people also say, yo, well Debbie Harry was blonde, she
17:49
Speaker 1: wasn't Ted Bundy's type who only liked brunettes. Well, Debbie
17:53
Speaker 1: Harry actually was a brunette. She was a brunette in
17:55
Speaker 1: the early seventies before she dyed her hair and joined Blondie. Okay,
17:59
Speaker 1: there you go for those reasons. Plus just Debbie fucking
18:02
Speaker 1: Harry Man, I don't know. That's why I believe six
18:05
Speaker 1: one seven nine oh six six six three eight. Do
18:07
Speaker 1: you believe Debbie Harry? Let me know. Hit me up
18:09
Speaker 1: on the voicemail, hit me up on the text. We're
18:11
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. Be right back, Heidi, Hati, hatio.
18:29
Speaker 1: We are back, people, And I want to dive into
18:31
Speaker 1: this Heath Ledger paparazzi story just a little bit more
18:33
Speaker 1: deeply the one that I mentioned up top, a little
18:35
Speaker 1: bit more deeply. Excuse me, and we clarify that we
18:38
Speaker 1: mentioned this paparazzi story up top, and I would like
18:41
Speaker 1: to dive into it a little more deeply than we
18:44
