- 2:09Speaker 2: you're a keen listener, you probably heard me mention him
- 2:12Speaker 2: on the John Doe episode. He was kind of instrumental
- 2:16Speaker 2: in putting that together. But has not been on the
- 2:18Speaker 2: show before.
- 2:19Speaker 1: No, I have. So, happy to be here.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Welcome you to the show. You, to tie in our
- 2:24Speaker 2: film stuff, you have kind of done a little of everything,
- 2:28Speaker 2: it seems like. You're writer, producer, director, cinematographer, editor.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Started out as PA, where every person in film should.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Worked my way up. Gaffer for a short while. Line
- 2:40Speaker 1: producer for a long while.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Which is your least favorite job?
- 2:45Speaker 1: PA. Absolutely, P.A. It's just awful. It's an awful and
- 2:51Speaker 1: much abused position on a film set.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Well, we were going to ask you to go get
- 2:56Speaker 2: us coffee. Is that cool?
- 2:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be right back.
- 3:00Speaker 2: We need some more Turkish coffee.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Not for Lucy.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Lucy's got a gallon of it here.
- 3:04Speaker 1: She's on her seventh cup.
- 3:05Speaker 2: She's going to be hammered, so it'll be interesting as
- 3:07Speaker 2: this goes along. So, I don't know. Has anybody seen
- 3:11Speaker 2: anything interesting lately to open up the show? Any geek
- 3:14Speaker 2: activities of All I have is super dorky stuff. Not
- 3:19Speaker 2: that that's different than any other week.
- 3:21Speaker 8: I finally saw Gattaca.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:24Speaker 8: And I really enjoyed it. I was quite pleased.
- 3:28Speaker 2: I just continued on the Marvel train. I saw two
- 3:32Speaker 2: of them this weekend, so I'm kind of caught up now,
- 3:34Speaker 2: I think. I did go see Captain America, and I
- 3:38Speaker 2: was impressed. They did a nice job with it. It's
- 3:41Speaker 2: really just working in more of Black Widow, because I
- 3:44Speaker 2: still think her character is really great and is... That
- 3:47Speaker 2: is way more than I ever expected out of that character.
- 3:50Speaker 2: And she's kind of turning in decent performances lately. So
- 3:54Speaker 2: I'm really impressed with that. And they take his character
- 3:57Speaker 2: down like a weird road that is sort of interesting
- 4:01Speaker 2: in today's world because it's mirroring this like, you know,
- 4:03Speaker 2: Boy Scout that all of a sudden is dealing with
- 4:06Speaker 2: the government, more or less. I mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. is pretty
- 4:09Speaker 2: much the government. That's kind of overstepping their bounds as
- 4:12Speaker 2: to how much they're, keeping track of everybody and trying
- 4:16Speaker 2: to keep terrorism from happening. And so it's interesting to watch,
- 4:19Speaker 2: you know, the, the captain have to deal with all
- 4:22Speaker 2: that because he's so like all American and all of
- 4:26Speaker 2: these values that he's sort of grown up on are
- 4:28Speaker 2: being sort of tested now that he's shoved in the
- 4:30Speaker 2: modern world. So it's, I thought it was pretty good.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I saw my bodyguard again recently. I watched that one yesterday.
- 4:37Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Chris make peace.
- 4:40Speaker 2: We recently were having a discussion of what the hell
- 4:42Speaker 2: happened to Chris Makepeace.
- 4:44Speaker 1: He is actually working... Have you ever seen Homes on
- 4:47Speaker 1: Homes on the DIY Network or the Home and Garden
- 4:53Speaker 1: Channel or whatever? Well, he's like a producer on that now.
- 4:58Speaker 1: That's what he does.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Interesting.
- 5:00Speaker 1: So Chris Makepeace and Martin Maul and one of his few...
- 5:05Speaker 1: One of his rare non-gay characters, Martin Maul.
- 5:09Speaker 9: So.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Most of the time, he's just sort of Martin Maul.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Well, he even got a special guest star, Martin Maul,
- 5:19Speaker 1: in My Bodyguard, which I don't know how you get that.
- 5:22Speaker 1: You must be pretty high up on that.
- 5:24Speaker 2: That was early, too.
- 5:29Speaker 1: He was good in that. I liked it. So, yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 1: I got to relive that. I'm actually working... on my
- 5:35Speaker 1: 70s snap zoom techniques, and so I wanted to go
- 5:39Speaker 1: ahead and do some research. I'm really not. That's not
- 5:43Speaker 1: what I'm doing.
- 5:43Speaker 7: Oh, I got really excited for a second.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I kind of want to see these.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I'm into star wipes now.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You've moved into the 80s.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Good for you.
- 5:52Speaker 8: Apparently Martin Mull's quite a painter as well.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 2: I think something he became way more passionate about as
- 5:59Speaker 2: the years went on.
- 6:01Speaker 1: They said that about Hitler, too. He was not... His
- 6:05Speaker 1: perspective was all over the place. That guy couldn't paint.
- 6:09Speaker 2: That's what led him.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Well, he had to find something else to do.
- 6:12Speaker 8: Did you guys... Did anybody see Max?
- 6:15Speaker 2: I think that's what it was.
- 6:16Speaker 8: Where John Cusack played his dealer. His art dealer.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Hitler's dealer? Really? It was Noah... Wiley? Wait.
- 6:25Speaker 8: It was the guy that played young Hitler. And it
- 6:27Speaker 8: was up until.
- 6:30Speaker 8: He came into power.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Is that anything like young Indiana Jones? Young Hitler? That
- 6:35Speaker 1: would not be a good show.
- 6:36Speaker 2: They probably crossed paths. I mean, Indy ran into everybody
- 6:39Speaker 2: over the years, including Hitler, actually. Probably so.
- 6:43Speaker 8: Hitler's birthday is coming up.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Are we going to make a cake.
- 6:47Speaker 8: Or something like that?
- 6:49Speaker 2: I wasn't sure where you were going with that.
- 6:51Speaker 8: It was just more of a statement.
- 6:51Speaker 7: I thought it was going to be a joke.
- 6:54Speaker 8: I do have a Hitler joke.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And tumbleweeds.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I think he'll be surprised with the party.
- 7:03Speaker 8: So I couldn't Hitler drink vodka.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Why?
- 7:06Speaker 8: It made him mean.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Oh, jeez.
- 7:09Speaker 5: Oh, God.
- 7:10Speaker 2: All right, and we're done.
- 7:12Speaker 1: The end. I saw Noah.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Did anybody see Noah?
- 7:18Speaker 1: Oh, I wanted to.
- 7:20Speaker 2: I made snide comments about it last week.
- 7:23Speaker 7: I will reference that episode. I'd have nothing to say
- 7:26Speaker 7: about it unless anybody else in this room has seen it.
- 7:29Speaker 2: It's a conversation.
- 7:30Speaker 7: It's not a monologue. I need to work through it.
- 7:34Speaker 1: When you say work through it, do you mean like
- 7:36Speaker 1: in a Psychiatric sense?
- 7:38Speaker 6: Possibly.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You need to process the event?
- 7:39Speaker 10: I kind of do.
- 7:40Speaker 7: I mean, it's... Yeah, I don't even know where to
- 7:43Speaker 7: start with this one.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Would you like to lay down before we leave?
- 7:45Speaker 8: Yeah, can I just lay down? I wrote it off until...
- 7:48Speaker 8: I found out a week before it came out that
- 7:50Speaker 8: Aronofsky even directed it. I didn't even know anything about
- 7:52Speaker 8: it until... I didn't even know it was coming out
- 7:54Speaker 8: until like a week before. And then I found out
- 7:56Speaker 8: he was... That's the only reason I want to see it,
- 7:57Speaker 8: to be honest.
- 7:58Speaker 7: And that's the only reason... I mean, I would not
- 8:00Speaker 7: have found myself in a biblical epic with an Aronofsky
- 8:02Speaker 7: name not attached to it.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Come on.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Pat.
- 8:05Speaker 8: Wait, the one that... Was that.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Coppola?
- 8:08Speaker 8: The one with Willem Dafoe? Last Temptation of Christ.
- 8:12Speaker 7: Who's starring Harry Dean Stanton?
- 8:15Speaker 10: Who?
- 8:16Speaker 8: Harry Dean Stanton.
- 8:19Speaker 7: Oh, you're not familiar with the work of Harry Dean Stanton?
- 8:21Speaker 1: Why don't we talk about it?
- 8:22Speaker 11: Here he comes.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Wait what about the last definition.
- 8:27Speaker 8: That's the one that's the only one I've actually seen
- 8:29Speaker 8: because there's all the others oh right right yeah and
- 8:31Speaker 8: I like that a lot.
- 8:33Speaker 7: Well Noah I hate Aronofsky but I see every movie
- 8:37Speaker 7: that he makes yeah he clearly I mean his agenda
- 8:41Speaker 7: in making the film is so complex like I need
- 8:44Speaker 7: to see it again I don't really understand what he
- 8:47Speaker 7: was going for like all Aronofsky movies it completely falls
- 8:50Speaker 7: apart in the middle because he just is unable to
- 8:54Speaker 7: like grapple with the concept of, I don't know, a
- 8:57Speaker 7: subdued narrative or subtlety or anything nuanced. So it just
- 9:02Speaker 7: goes off the rails.
- 9:03Speaker 1: How can a biblical epic fall apart in the second act?
- 9:08Speaker 1: How does this happen? Usually when something falls apart in
- 9:11Speaker 1: the second act, it's because something is drastically wrong with
- 9:14Speaker 1: the first act. But how can something leak? wrong with
- 9:17Speaker 1: the first act in a biblical epic.
- 9:18Speaker 7: Well because the second act was the act where he
- 9:21Speaker 7: created a new character um as.
- 9:25Speaker 1: He added a chapter in the bible yes actually interesting
- 9:29Speaker 1: well the bible's been heavily.
- 9:30Speaker 7: Edited as played by ray winstone um so just imagine
- 9:33Speaker 7: where that.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Goes melvin 316 it's gotta be so there's a whale.
- 9:42Speaker 2: As they're out on the boat suddenly starts chasing a whale.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Is Sanonovsky a creationist, I'm wondering?
- 9:50Speaker 7: No, and actually.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Are there.
- 9:51Speaker 7: Dinosaurs in this movie?
- 9:52Speaker 2: That was my comment last week.
- 9:53Speaker 7: That was a really interesting part of the movie, is
- 9:56Speaker 7: that he was actually trying to, I think... again, I
- 10:00Speaker 7: don't understand the man's brain and probably don't want to,
- 10:02Speaker 7: but I think that what he was wanting to do
- 10:05Speaker 7: was to sort of give creationists a viewpoint that's not oppositional,
- 10:11Speaker 7: but that maybe they could sort of work the possibility
- 10:14Speaker 7: of evolution into creationism, I think. So he was sort
- 10:18Speaker 7: of baiting this audience to come see the film and
- 10:22Speaker 7: then say, hey, maybe we're all right. Maybe we're both right.
- 10:26Speaker 7: Maybe there's something in between.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I've got news that is not going to happen. I
- 10:31Speaker 1: went through an exhaustive... I wanted to do a documentary
- 10:36Speaker 1: on the creationist movement in America. Oh, interesting. And so
- 10:41Speaker 1: I had just gotten off, which, by the way, PBS, Frontline,
- 10:45Speaker 1: April 29th. Self-promotion here. Please watch. Good morning. It's the
- 10:54Speaker 1: Prison Nation, although I think they've changed the title. But anyway,
- 10:57Speaker 1: so it's a film that I shot with Mongoose Pictures.
- 10:59Speaker 1: But anyway, right after coming off that, I wanted to
- 11:02Speaker 1: do something else. I wanted to present something else to Frontline.
- 11:05Speaker 1: And so I wanted to do the creationist movement in America.
- 11:08Speaker 1: And they put me through the ringer. Wow. And it
- 11:12Speaker 1: was like a three-month process to get the permission to
- 11:16Speaker 1: shoot in their museum. And I had to go through
- 11:18Speaker 1: their PR firm in Dallas, and they called me up
- 11:21Speaker 1: and they said, seven years ago, you donated $ 10 to
- 11:26Speaker 1: a campaign. And I was like, oh my gosh, what
- 11:30Speaker 1: is going on here? You don't want to know about
- 11:33Speaker 1: half the things I've done. They have a file on you.
- 11:34Speaker 1: They have a file on me.
- 11:36Speaker 7: It's really scary.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Do you guys have connections with God?
- 11:39Speaker 1: However, they did ultimately give me the permission to do it,
- 11:42Speaker 1: to go ahead and interview their... Dinosaurs? They're a talking dinosaur.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Has anybody been? I assume they do. Have you actually
- 11:50Speaker 1: been there? I have not been there yet. I want
- 11:52Speaker 1: to go. I really want to go. And then all
- 11:53Speaker 1: this Bill Nye business got in the way. Yeah, right.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And so I was kind of, you know, I'm just
- 11:57Speaker 1: a schmuck trying to make a documentary. So they kind
- 12:00Speaker 1: of pushed me to the side.
- 12:01Speaker 2: That seems like you've got your lead in for the
- 12:03Speaker 2: guy doing the commentary.
- 12:06Speaker 1: You know, I was really hoping. Bill Nye, get out
- 12:08Speaker 1: of here.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I wanted to dig deep into those financial records and
- 12:13Speaker 1: see where they're getting all their cash. Interesting. But they're
- 12:18Speaker 1: an interesting group, and they really believe that the book
- 12:23Speaker 1: of Genesis is a historical novel. They truly believe this.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And so while I think they're absolutely insane, I 100% agree.
- 12:36Speaker 1: respect their conviction. I really do.
- 12:39Speaker 8: I hope they don't hear this podcast.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Well, they know I think they're insane. However, you know,
- 12:43Speaker 1: as a documentarian, you have to be unbiased. You have
- 12:46Speaker 1: to be a journalist. As impartial as you can. As
- 12:48Speaker 1: impartial as you can. It's tough sometimes, but it is possible.
- 12:52Speaker 2: That was my question last week when I was talking
- 12:54Speaker 2: about Noah. I don't know what his agenda was as
- 12:59Speaker 2: a filmmaker. Even if he's not even the artist end
- 13:01Speaker 2: of it, but the like, How are you going to
- 13:03Speaker 2: market this? Like, are you going for the hardcore biblical group?
- 13:07Speaker 2: Because that's usually the only people that come out and
- 13:08Speaker 2: support stuff like that. You're going for that Passion of
- 13:11Speaker 2: the Christ crowd. But I don't assume that he is that.
- 13:15Speaker 2: So I'm not like, where are you going? Like, how
- 13:17Speaker 2: are you going to come out ahead in this process?
- 13:19Speaker 2: Or does he just not care?
- 13:20Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean, it's a straight up, it's an
- 13:22Speaker 7: action film is what it is. And it's actually sort of,
- 13:25Speaker 7: I mean, it's sort of tense and exciting. And I
- 13:27Speaker 7: was actually sort of on board for a lot of
- 13:29Speaker 7: it until it just totally went off the rails.
- 13:31Speaker 1: On board.
- 13:33Speaker 10: Wow.
- 13:34Speaker 7: Coffee's kicking in. But, you know, I do think that
- 13:40Speaker 7: he was, I think that was his agenda, to sort
- 13:43Speaker 7: of mask this alternate viewpoint that he was trying to present.
- 13:47Speaker 7: within something that would seem sort of palatable and exciting
- 13:50Speaker 7: to that market.
- 13:52Speaker 2: We have Gladiator and the animals. It starts making them fight.
- 13:56Speaker 1: In the boat.
- 13:56Speaker 7: But it is fun because certain animals don't make it,
- 13:58Speaker 7: and they're all awesome looking. So that was fun.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Unicorns and dragons got screwed over.
- 14:03Speaker 7: It seems like it would have been a really fun
- 14:06Speaker 7: movie to make.
- 14:09Speaker 1: This never comes out of my mouth because I'm not
- 14:11Speaker 1: a sucker for effects. But I wanted to see that
- 14:15Speaker 1: movie just purely because of the effects. I think it
- 14:18Speaker 1: would be just a hell of a ride, a great
- 14:20Speaker 1: way to spend a couple of hours.
- 14:21Speaker 8: Well, and since his movies aren't, to this point, have
- 14:24Speaker 8: relied on... Well, I haven't seen The Fountain, but I've seen...
- 14:26Speaker 8: I think I've seen everything else. But I know the...
- 14:29Speaker 8: I think The Fountain is kind of effects heavy. But otherwise,
- 14:33Speaker 8: his stuff isn't. So that's why I was surprised that
- 14:35Speaker 8: he was doing this. Such an epic.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it seemed like such a weird direction
- 14:40Speaker 2: for him. I was like, I don't know what he's
- 14:41Speaker 2: doing here. I assume he's got a plan. He doesn't
- 14:43Speaker 2: seem like somebody who just half-asses things.
- 14:45Speaker 8: So has he stated what his stance is with the
- 14:49Speaker 8: whole thing? That's, to me, the most intriguing subtext of it.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I don't really feel.
- 14:54Speaker 7: Like it was marketed very well, or if at all.
- 14:57Speaker 12: I feel like I just heard about it maybe a
- 14:59Speaker 12: week and a half ago, and it was just at
- 15:00Speaker 12: the theater randomly.
- 15:01Speaker 2: I remember us talking about it like, several years ago
- 15:05Speaker 2: when they first announced that he'd signed on to do
- 15:08Speaker 2: it and then i really haven't heard anything since then.
- 15:10Speaker 12: Yeah just usually an epic blockbuster like that you get
- 15:13Speaker 12: beat to death with it before it shows up it's
- 15:16Speaker 12: strange it also.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Got special timing in the year oh yeah this is
- 15:21Speaker 2: not really oscar season for him so i don't know
- 15:24Speaker 2: if that means the studio has absolutely no faith in
- 15:26Speaker 2: it but.
- 15:27Speaker 1: But it is easter season yes maybe they were planning.
- 15:30Speaker 8: That's what i thought you were implying yeah.
- 15:32Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that the most promotion was done by
- 15:36Speaker 7: the people who were boycotting it. I mean, that's how
- 15:39Speaker 7: I heard it.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Well, that's what happened with Passion of the Christ. I mean,
- 15:41Speaker 1: that was the only reason that film succeeded.
- 15:44Speaker 8: Who was primarily boycotting animals?
- 15:48Speaker 1: People who.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Animals with picket signs. It was the cutest thing, really.
- 15:53Speaker 7: People who love the Bible.
- 15:55Speaker 8: Okay, so the Bible.
- 15:56Speaker 7: Because I guess they heard that it didn't stick strictly
- 16:00Speaker 7: to the historical document.
- 16:02Speaker 8: Which version of the Bible are we talking about here?
- 16:04Speaker 8: It's the one.
- 16:05Speaker 1: You find in hotels. So it was hotel managers that
- 16:09Speaker 1: were picketing most of it.
- 16:11Speaker 8: The Gideons.
- 16:11Speaker 7: The Gideons, yeah.
- 16:13Speaker 8: Gideon approved.
- 16:14Speaker 1: No, I'm sorry.
- 16:15Speaker 8: But it's because it's been such a heavily edited thing.
- 16:20Speaker 5: Well, anyway.
- 16:22Speaker 12: Perhaps it was marketed in Pentecostal circles somewhere.
- 16:25Speaker 7: We're just not aware. I'm not sure. Yeah, I think
- 16:28Speaker 7: that the Christian community got really excited. Like, we have
- 16:31Speaker 7: this Jesus movie, and now there's going to be a
- 16:33Speaker 7: Noah movie. And then somebody was like, you know the
- 16:35Speaker 7: Noah movie was made by an atheist, right? And then
- 16:37Speaker 7: they were all like, no! And then they all sort
- 16:40Speaker 7: of took to the streets.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I think that's how it went down.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I think they did a lot of audio advertising, but
- 16:44Speaker 2: it was all spoken in tongues, so good luck with that.
- 16:48Speaker 8: Well, the Golden Compass, do you remember when that?
- 16:50Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 16:50Speaker 1: The books were fantastic. They got in a lot of trouble, too.
- 16:52Speaker 8: Yeah, but then that whole thing is like, oh, he's whatever, yeah.
- 16:56Speaker 8: But they didn't make the second and third, and probably
- 16:59Speaker 8: that might have been part of it. It was actually
- 17:03Speaker 8: pretty good, but yeah.
- 17:07Speaker 3: All right.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Do we want to get away from God? Let's take
- 17:10Speaker 2: our break, and then we'll come back and get into
- 17:12Speaker 2: this week's other topic, which I don't think is God-related
- 17:16Speaker 2: at all.
- 17:30Speaker 3: This is a reproduction of one of Michelangelo's greatest works.
- 18:04Speaker 4: If you will be patient with me, I'd like to
- 18:06Speaker 4: talk to you about this wonderful soul that Michelangelo caught
- 18:10Speaker 4: so magnificently in marble. For centuries, people have been puzzled
- 18:16Speaker 4: by these horns. Well, in the original book of Exodus,
- 18:22Speaker 4: the Hebrew text tells us that when Moses came down
- 18:27Speaker 4: from the mount, Charon came from his head. Karen is
- 18:32Speaker 4: the Hebrew word for horn, but it also is the
- 18:36Speaker 4: Hebrew word for rays of light. Later artists, like Doré,
- 18:43Speaker 4: show Moses with rays of light coming from his head.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Here is a photograph of the original statue in Rome.
- 18:54Speaker 4: Notice the likeness to Charlton Heston, who plays Moses in
- 18:58Speaker 4: the Ten Commandments. These very tablets were actually carved from
- 19:03Speaker 4: the red granite of the holy mountain itself. The Bible
- 19:08Speaker 4: omits the first 30 years or so that brought Moses
- 19:12Speaker 4: to manhood. To fill in those missing years, we turn
- 19:17Speaker 4: to ancient historians, such as Philo and Josephus. These historians
- 19:23Speaker 4: had access to documents long since destroyed, or perhaps lost.
- 19:29Speaker 4: like the Dead Sea Scrolls. To film the Ten Commandments,
- 19:34Speaker 4: we rolled our cameras on the very ground that Moses walked,
- 19:39Speaker 4: here from the land of Goshen, across the Red Sea,
- 19:44Speaker 4: down through the deserts of Shur and Sin, to Mount Sinai,
- 19:48Speaker 4: the Holy Land. place of God. Moses' life is one
- 19:53Speaker 4: of the greatest adventure stories ever put between the covers
- 19:57Speaker 4: of a book.
- 19:58Speaker 3: ¶ ¶ ¶ He was the wizard of a thousand.
- 20:06Speaker 8: Kings ¶ ¶ And I chance to meet him one
- 20:11Speaker 8: night wandering.
- 20:14Speaker 2: So as I said, we've been to the Chicago Wizard
- 20:18Speaker 2: World before, so they've got quite a few. Since we're
- 20:21Speaker 2: hanging out here.
- 20:22Speaker 11: They've got a lot.
- 20:22Speaker 7: They're all over the country.
- 20:23Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Since they're inviting us to hang around here, I thought
- 20:27Speaker 2: we would go ahead and give the rundown. That's the
- 20:30Speaker 2: difference with this one is it's not just in one city.
- 20:32Speaker 2: It's something they've done kind of everywhere now. They've sort
- 20:35Speaker 2: of taken over. So you can go to wizardworld.com and
- 20:39Speaker 2: find out where they are in the near future. The
- 20:41Speaker 2: rundown of the upcoming ones.
- 20:44Speaker 1: St.

- 20:48Speaker 2: May into June is Atlanta. You've got Philadelphia after that,
- 20:51Speaker 2: San Antonio, back to Chicago, Richmond. So it's like anywhere
- 20:55Speaker 2: in this general part of the country, you know, the
- 20:58Speaker 2: United States.
- 20:59Speaker 7: Are you stopping at Richmond because we've got more to go?
- 21:01Speaker 2: Oh, there's plenty. That's what I'm saying.
- 21:03Speaker 7: Nashville, Austin, Ohio. I thought Ohio was just generalized.

- 22:55Speaker 11: Hi, this is Robert Carradine. That's my name. I'm listening
- 22:58Speaker 11: to Movie Meltdown. I'm not actually listening to it because
- 23:00Speaker 11: I'm making the recording that you're listening to, which is
- 23:04Speaker 11: almost live, except it isn't.
- 23:06Speaker 1: You can be listening to it.
- 23:08Speaker 11: I could be listening to it, but I'll just have
- 23:09Speaker 11: to wait until I find it on the Internet.
- 23:11Speaker 7: That's available.
- 23:14Speaker 11: I'm sure it is. Go to www.moviemeltdown.com.
- 23:19Speaker 9: All right, guys.
- 23:21Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 23:25Speaker 5: It's part of your problem, you know.
- 23:28Speaker 1: You haven't seen enough movies.
- 23:29Speaker 5: All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
- 23:34Speaker 7: And now, on with the show.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Alright, we are back and it is time for The Grind.
- 24:20Speaker 2: In this segment we discuss a specific topic or question
- 24:23Speaker 2: related to movies and this week our question and or
- 24:27Speaker 2: topic comes from Lucy and she's been sitting on it
- 24:30Speaker 2: for almost a year now. We mentioned sort of this
- 24:34Speaker 2: topic in passing a long time ago as we sat
- 24:37Speaker 2: outside at the flea market. And even then I could
- 24:40Speaker 2: see her just like just raring to go to attack
- 24:44Speaker 2: certain celebrity children. We'll get to those in a minute.
- 24:47Speaker 2: But yeah, so we're supposed to talk about Hollywood dynasties.
- 24:52Speaker 2: And I guess just the general overall families that keep
- 24:56Speaker 2: working within the business. Or some maybe does the kid
- 25:01Speaker 2: measure up.
- 25:01Speaker 5: To the parents?
- 25:02Speaker 2: So, however you would like to go about this. Do
- 25:04Speaker 2: you want to start with the main one, Lucy?
- 25:06Speaker 7: No, I feel badly now. Like, really, this wasn't orchestrated
- 25:11Speaker 7: as an involved attack.
- 25:12Speaker 2: It's been building up forever. Go ahead. Get into it.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Take the gloves off.
- 25:18Speaker 5: Let's go.
- 25:19Speaker 7: No, I was hoping, like, I didn't think you would
- 25:21Speaker 7: unveil my strategy. You did, a year ago. At the
- 25:26Speaker 7: offset of the show. I thought we could build to that,
- 25:28Speaker 7: and then maybe at some point it would come up.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Do you want me to just start making fun of
- 25:32Speaker 2: Xanadu or whatever her name is? I kept getting it
- 25:34Speaker 2: wrong last time.
- 25:35Speaker 7: I still haven't seen her films because I think it
- 25:37Speaker 7: would be too hurtful to me if they are of
- 25:40Speaker 7: quality similar to those of her brother.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Again, visually, I think she has talent. I think it
- 25:46Speaker 2: looks good. I think it was mostly the storytelling parts
- 25:50Speaker 2: that I had major issues with. So, yeah, I think
- 25:53Speaker 2: she has more problems with structuring the movie than the
- 25:57Speaker 2: actual visual direction.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Fair enough.
- 26:00Speaker 2: That's all I have on her. I've seen that one
- 26:02Speaker 2: movie of hers.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Which is highly influenced by the DP.
- 26:04Speaker 7: I was about to say, since we have a DP
- 26:07Speaker 7: in the room.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I wasn't blaming him.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Sorry, Xanadu. That's not a name. What is it?
- 26:13Speaker 7: I think it's Xan.
- 26:14Speaker 11: Alexandra.
- 26:15Speaker 7: They were excellent kid actors in the Nick Cassavetes films. Anyway,
- 26:18Speaker 7: for those playing at home, Nick Cassavetes is the offspring
- 26:22Speaker 7: of John Cassavetes and Jenna Rollins, who, by birthright, should
- 26:26Speaker 7: be a perfect human being. and instead has made films
- 26:29Speaker 7: like The Notebook.
- 26:32Speaker 2: That's all.
- 26:32Speaker 7: I don't even think I have to say anything beyond that.
- 26:34Speaker 1: You can't see me. I'm yawning right now.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Just thinking about The Notebook.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Just thinking about The Notebook.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I see Notebook you're down. So, any of his other
- 26:46Speaker 2: films you're not a fan of? I mean, that one
- 26:49Speaker 2: kind of takes the cake.
- 26:50Speaker 8: Did you do the one with Halle Berry and the
- 26:53Speaker 8: 911 thing?
- 26:56Speaker 2: Oh, The Call? That's not him. We talked about that
- 26:58Speaker 2: same episode.
- 27:00Speaker 8: Well, that's an episode I listened to. Maybe he came
- 27:02Speaker 8: up in that episode.
- 27:03Speaker 2: He did.
- 27:04Speaker 7: No, that was, what's his name that did Happy Accidents,
- 27:07Speaker 7: which was a great film. I'm forgetting his name right now.
- 27:09Speaker 8: Happy Accidents or Happy Endings?
- 27:10Speaker 7: Happy Accidents. Happy Accidents is, and I don't know what
- 27:14Speaker 7: I like. I feel like now we're just launched.
- 27:16Speaker 1: We're just spiraling at this point.
- 27:18Speaker 10: I don't think he's related to anyone else.
- 27:20Speaker 7: But everybody at home should watch Happy Accidents. It stars
- 27:23Speaker 7: Marissa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio. And it is the most
- 27:27Speaker 7: delightful romantic comedy, and I'm not generally a fan of
- 27:30Speaker 7: that genre. But it's a time travel movie, or maybe
- 27:33Speaker 7: it's not.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Another one of those.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 27:38Speaker 5: All right, then.
- 27:38Speaker 2: If you've said your piece on the Cassavetes offspring. If
- 27:41Speaker 2: I've said my piece.
- 27:42Speaker 7: If I'm on the record. It just hurts, that's all.
- 27:46Speaker 2: For anyone who didn't hear it last time, she's kind
- 27:48Speaker 2: of a fan of John.
- 27:50Speaker 7: And Jenna. And their perfect love.
- 27:54Speaker 2: And all their friends that used to hang out and
- 27:56Speaker 2: make movies. And somehow they made these demon spawn children.
- 28:00Speaker 7: It just doesn't make sense. I mean, I would be
- 28:02Speaker 7: fine if you were a terrible person but a great filmmaker.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I like that criteria.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I fit that. No, wait, no, no. Terrible filmmaker, great, no,
- 28:14Speaker 1: wait a minute.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I don't know about either.
- 28:16Speaker 1: I don't know. Let me rethink it. I'll get back
- 28:18Speaker 1: to you.
- 28:20Speaker 2: I think we all have to make that decision for ourselves.
- 28:25Speaker 7: Although he did make a film called Alpha Dog, which
- 28:27Speaker 7: does have Harry Dean Stanton in it. So I guess
- 28:29Speaker 7: he's done one thing right.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Isn't JT in there, too?
- 28:31Speaker 7: He is, and not terrible.
- 28:33Speaker 2: So there's the crossover. When we're playing the Harry Dean
- 28:36Speaker 2: Stanton game, which we're going to make that. Forget this
- 28:38Speaker 2: Kevin Bacon, right? We can connect Harry Dean Stanton to everybody.
- 28:41Speaker 2: It's much more efficient. You've got one move to JT.
- 28:46Speaker 2: All right, do we want to pick some other families?
- 28:50Speaker 1: Oh, I definitely have one.
- 28:51Speaker 7: I'm really excited about this. There's been a teaser.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Okay, I have several... I have several categories here, but
- 28:57Speaker 1: we'll first get into the ones that annoy me. And
- 29:01Speaker 1: this may not be a popular family with all of you,
- 29:05Speaker 1: but the Coppolas.
- 29:06Speaker 8: Oh, I love the Coppola discussion.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Really just bugged the crap out of me. And it's
- 29:12Speaker 1: not necessarily because they lack talent. Lost in Translation, I thought,
- 29:19Speaker 1: was a Sofia Coppola film, was a decent film.
- 29:23Speaker 7: Again, great DP there.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Great DP, great actor. You can't go wrong with Bill Murray. However,
- 29:30Speaker 1: what I do have the issue with, and this is
- 29:33Speaker 1: across the board with Hollywood families, is bypassing the system
- 29:39Speaker 1: to get to jump into the director's seat. And my partner,
- 29:44Speaker 1: Archie Borders, always says it's not enough to make a movie.
- 29:47Speaker 1: You have to make a good movie. And I think
- 29:50Speaker 1: that the good part is often overlooked with these dynasties.
- 29:55Speaker 1: And Sofia Coppola is a perfect example of that. But
- 29:58Speaker 1: she has this is access to all these people. That's
- 30:03Speaker 1: the key word, I think. She surrounds herself with people
- 30:07Speaker 1: who know what they're doing. Now, a good producer will
- 30:08Speaker 1: do that, but they'll admit to doing that. I oftentimes
- 30:13Speaker 1: hire people that are ten times smarter than I am
- 30:15Speaker 1: to go do the jobs that they do very well.
- 30:18Speaker 2: It is just smart filmmaking from your standpoint, from her standpoint.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I understand why she does what she does. But again,
- 30:25Speaker 2: you can kind of call her out. I think it's
- 30:27Speaker 2: just one of those, she is in that position and
- 30:29Speaker 2: she's the only one in that position. So it's like,
- 30:33Speaker 2: either cash in on it or, you know, you gotta
- 30:35Speaker 2: go get a real job. So, I mean, I don't
- 30:38Speaker 2: blame her, but I definitely am kind of on your side.
- 30:42Speaker 8: And it's also the built-in attention you're going to get. Like,
- 30:44Speaker 8: all the accolades that are... It's almost they're there waiting
- 30:47Speaker 8: for you before the movie's even finished. Because what's the
- 30:49Speaker 8: version Suicides Are First? Yeah. Boston Translation is the only
- 30:52Speaker 8: one I've actually seen.
- 30:54Speaker 1: And it's... Virgin Suicide was not, in my opinion, not
- 30:58Speaker 1: a good film. I mean, it was this freshman effort
- 31:02Speaker 1: which was, you know, which was given 100 times more
- 31:07Speaker 1: attention than it should have ever been given. But she
- 31:10Speaker 1: cast it well. That's the thing. She cast it.
- 31:12Speaker 8: And the soundtrack. I know the effort. I've had the
- 31:14Speaker 8: soundtrack for years. And the soundtrack is great.
- 31:16Speaker 1: So she does things well, but I think she does
- 31:18Speaker 1: things well by committee. So she should not be in
- 31:22Speaker 1: the director's chair.
- 31:24Speaker 7: She's somebody that I hate watching the same way that
- 31:26Speaker 7: I hate watching Aronofsky. I've seen every single one of
- 31:28Speaker 7: her movies. I see them on opening night, generally, and
- 31:31Speaker 7: I cannot stand her. But I watch them because I
- 31:35Speaker 7: feel like they're becoming increasingly... Her entire oeuvre is one
- 31:38Speaker 7: of privilege, and it's one of movies about people who
- 31:41Speaker 7: we're supposed to somehow empathize or pity because they are.
- 31:48Speaker 7: Stuck at a five-star Tokyo hotel, or they're a beautiful
- 31:51Speaker 7: blonde in the suburbs, or they're the queen of France.
- 31:56Speaker 1: I've always had a soft spot for her, the queen
- 32:00Speaker 1: of France. But they're tortured internally, and that's what we're
- 32:02Speaker 1: supposed to connect with. And that's complete bullshit. I can't
- 32:07Speaker 1: connect with that.
- 32:08Speaker 7: I will say, though, that I do find something delightful
- 32:11Speaker 7: about her. And I guess this sort of brings in,
- 32:12Speaker 7: had she ever had a child with Spike Jonze, that
- 32:14Speaker 7: would have been interesting to see what happened to that kid.
- 32:17Speaker 7: But I felt like her was very much Spike's movie
- 32:20Speaker 7: about their relationship. And obviously, Lost in Translation, she's pretty
- 32:24Speaker 7: much said, was very much her relationship with Spike.
- 32:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:26Speaker 7: It's like they're having the most public... It's like a cinema...
- 32:30Speaker 7: Those songs, those callback songs from the 50s were like...
- 32:33Speaker 7: I feel like that's what's happening. And it's sort of
- 32:35Speaker 7: interesting to watch something that personal happen on that public level.
- 32:39Speaker 8: And what's interesting about her is that... I haven't seen it, but...
- 32:44Speaker 8: What's her name? I'm blanking her name.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Who did the voice?
- 32:47Speaker 5: Scarlett?
- 32:48Speaker 8: Yeah, originally it was Samantha Morton or.
- 32:51Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what I heard.
- 32:51Speaker 8: Did the whole thing. And so that adds even more
- 32:54Speaker 8: to that, that she... They recast her voice as the
- 32:57Speaker 8: final one since she's in it. Yeah, I don't know.
- 33:01Speaker 8: Maybe it's just incidental.
- 33:03Speaker 1: If you go deeper into the Coppola clan.
- 33:06Speaker 2: There are several levels.
- 33:07Speaker 1: There are several levels. The deep tracks. The deep tracks
- 33:10Speaker 1: of the Coppola clan, Talia Shire.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Hidden tracks.
- 33:13Speaker 12: Right?
- 33:13Speaker 1: Jason Schwartzman.
- 33:14Speaker 5: True.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Who actually I enjoy watching. I think he's fun. Talia Shire,
- 33:20Speaker 1: I've never gotten her. I've never, you know.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Again, just latching on to a good situation.
- 33:25Speaker 4: Wow.
- 33:28Speaker 1: I'm not a perfect human being. I would probably do
- 33:30Speaker 1: the same thing. I'm not faulting them for doing what
- 33:33Speaker 1: they do. That's kind of my.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Thing with Sophia, too. I would hop in Dad's.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Car the second he opened the door. I would definitely
- 33:40Speaker 1: do that. But the fact that I'm not doing it
- 33:43Speaker 1: and they aren't makes me bitter.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Because you, as you mentioned, fought through all those years
- 33:47Speaker 2: and PA jobs and all that crap along the way.
- 33:50Speaker 2: You have reason to be bitter.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 33:51Speaker 2: So I certainly get your perspective. But, again, if I'm Sophia,
- 33:55Speaker 2: I would get.
- 33:55Speaker 1: Right on board with that. Sophia Coppola has never stood
- 33:57Speaker 1: in knee-deep mud holding a reflector while a copperhead ran
- 34:00Speaker 1: through her legs. She has never done that, and I have.
- 34:04Speaker 2: But we're all going that direction. I don't know. I
- 34:09Speaker 2: kind of want to pose this. What are your thoughts
- 34:11Speaker 2: on Francis in recent years? because i've just watched was
- 34:17Speaker 2: it twigs or whatever yeah he's he's and again maybe
- 34:21Speaker 2: it's one of those he became more passionate about making
- 34:23Speaker 2: wine than he did about making films because that last
- 34:26Speaker 2: one i don't know i feel like he's kind of
- 34:30Speaker 2: working backwards as a filmmaker he's like it seemed like
- 34:34Speaker 2: right out of the gate he he started doing these
- 34:36Speaker 2: well again once he started you know getting to the
- 34:38Speaker 2: point he's doing the godfather and stuff like that he's
- 34:40Speaker 2: doing like these well polished, well orchestrated pieces that seem
- 34:45Speaker 2: like it would take you much longer than his early
- 34:47Speaker 2: Roger Corman days to get, you know, he pretty quickly
- 34:50Speaker 2: jumps to that, you know, within a few years. And
- 34:52Speaker 2: now you look at him and I swear now watching
- 34:55Speaker 2: that last one, it feels like he's like a freshman filmmaker.
- 34:59Speaker 2: It feels like he's just going with all gut and, and,
- 35:03Speaker 2: you know, he's trying to put his heart on the screen,
- 35:05Speaker 2: but it loses all structure. It loses everything. the basics
- 35:08Speaker 2: of filmmaking and storytelling. And like, so again, it has
- 35:12Speaker 2: that thing like, here, I made this. It has this
- 35:14Speaker 2: little kid feeling of, look how cool this part is.
- 35:16Speaker 2: But like, you lose all the, what should be a
- 35:19Speaker 2: polished filmmaker should know how to do all this by now.
- 35:22Speaker 2: And I feel like he's lost that over the years.
- 35:25Speaker 1: He may not have lost it, but I think he's
- 35:27Speaker 1: gotten very lazy.
- 35:29Speaker 2: I think he just doesn't care. Like, as far as
- 35:32Speaker 2: interviews with him on that, it was like, he's just like,
- 35:35Speaker 2: You know, this is what I wanted to do. I
- 35:36Speaker 2: don't care. Like, he's got that, like, I can do
- 35:38Speaker 2: whatever I want system in play now. And, like, so
- 35:41Speaker 2: now he... When nobody's telling you no, it's what most
- 35:44Speaker 2: big filmmakers get to. You make whatever the hell you want,
- 35:46Speaker 2: even if it's terrible.
- 35:47Speaker 12: See, I don't... He could do anything and people would
- 35:50Speaker 12: still worship him. It doesn't matter at this point.
- 35:52Speaker 8: But that's probably based on his early work, too.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 35:55Speaker 8: It's kind of like... Well, anyway, yeah.
- 35:57Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think that the films that he's made
- 36:00Speaker 7: recently are successes by any stretch of the imagination. But
- 36:03Speaker 7: I do... respect the choice to sort of go in
- 36:07Speaker 7: that sort of really weird art house direction. I mean,
- 36:10Speaker 7: that's kind of what Nicholas Ray did and what John
- 36:12Speaker 7: Houston did and which I love about both of those
- 36:14Speaker 7: directors is that they started out in the studio system.
- 36:16Speaker 7: They're making these like very, these great, but still sort of,
- 36:19Speaker 7: you know, by the book sort of films. And then
- 36:22Speaker 7: as they got older, they just got weird as hell.
- 36:25Speaker 2: And that was the thing watching that. I was like,
- 36:26Speaker 2: I totally respect him for making it. Like I, and I, again,
- 36:30Speaker 2: there's so much visually there. But it's like, why? If
- 36:34Speaker 2: it were a different filmmaker, I'd be like, oh, this
- 36:36Speaker 2: guy just doesn't know how to.
- 36:37Speaker 1: But I'm like, I know you can.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Like, I've seen you do it in the past. You
- 36:40Speaker 2: know how to structure a film and make it work
- 36:43Speaker 2: on so many other levels. And it's like, is it
- 36:47Speaker 2: just he doesn't care now? Or is it just, like,
- 36:49Speaker 2: I respect the arthouse way that he's going. He's going
- 36:51Speaker 2: minimal budgets usually. Like, I like what he's doing. I
- 36:55Speaker 2: just wish it was a little more polished.
- 36:57Speaker 7: A little more good.
- 36:59Speaker 2: More gooderer.
- 36:59Speaker 7: A little more gooderer. I.
- 37:02Speaker 7: I think maybe he just has a different vision than
- 37:04Speaker 7: we do.
- 37:06Speaker 2: But even a different vision than the younger version of himself.
- 37:08Speaker 2: He's become a very different filmmaker as the years have
- 37:11Speaker 2: gone on.
- 37:12Speaker 8: I'm trying to recall what are some of the recent.
- 37:14Speaker 7: I can't remember their names because they all have weird names.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Twix was that one with Val Kilmer. I haven't seen
- 37:21Speaker 2: that one. That's the one I saw most recently. What
- 37:25Speaker 2: was the one that he was taking on the live
- 37:27Speaker 2: show that he was doing? Because again, I totally respected
- 37:30Speaker 2: the craziness of that. that he was touring around with
- 37:33Speaker 2: that one, and he was actually, this will be interesting
- 37:36Speaker 2: for you as a filmmaker, he had different cuts of
- 37:39Speaker 2: the film, and he was doing it as a live performance.
- 37:42Speaker 2: It was almost performance art through film. He had different cuts.
- 37:45Speaker 2: He was reading the audience and putting in a different
- 37:49Speaker 2: cut for how he felt like they were, like, it
- 37:52Speaker 2: really was like a live experience. Wow, I know nothing
- 37:54Speaker 2: about this. That one was awesome, like, as an idea. Again,
- 37:57Speaker 2: I haven't even seen that film, so I don't know
- 37:59Speaker 2: how the Once you edit it and put it on DVD,
- 38:02Speaker 2: it changes that total experience. But yeah, I don't know.
- 38:06Speaker 2: But that kind of stuff, I totally respect that he's
- 38:08Speaker 2: doing that now as an older filmmaker. But it's just
- 38:11Speaker 2: weird that, again, that's the kind of crazy stuff somebody
- 38:15Speaker 2: in college would be doing. And now he's an old
- 38:17Speaker 2: man that's been making movies his whole life and he decides.
- 38:19Speaker 2: So he just feels like he's reverted to a younger
- 38:23Speaker 2: filmmaker as he's gotten older and maybe just crazier.
- 38:26Speaker 8: And I'm blanking the Coppola thing. But it's not the
- 38:29Speaker 8: last name of the actor that's in... Yes, thank you.
- 38:33Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
- 38:34Speaker 2: He's the hidden track of this album.
- 38:35Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh.
- 38:36Speaker 7: So how do we feel about that? I mean, somebody
- 38:38Speaker 7: who eschews the name. I mean, is that real? Did
- 38:42Speaker 7: he really.
- 38:42Speaker 2: I mean, if you're buying that early story, I guess
- 38:45Speaker 2: you have to respect him, right? Because he was doing
- 38:47Speaker 2: what Sophia didn't do. He's like, I don't want to
- 38:49Speaker 2: skate by on the name. I want to earn my
- 38:51Speaker 2: way into being an actor or a celebrity or whatever
- 38:54Speaker 2: he planned on being. So... If that were true, whatever
- 38:58Speaker 2: he became, I mean, if that's true, I guess you
- 39:00Speaker 2: would respect him more, right? But again, we don't know,
- 39:03Speaker 2: because very quickly everybody went, oh, you know, he's related
- 39:06Speaker 2: to Coppola.
- 39:06Speaker 8: But if that story was public, and if everyone knew
- 39:08Speaker 8: that he did it, so then it just makes.
- 39:10Speaker 1: It more complex.
- 39:10Speaker 2: Is it just him making him seem like he's, yeah.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Well, he had two great films and one mediocre film.
- 39:19Speaker 1: And that was it. That sums up his career.
- 39:22Speaker 2: I can think of one.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Leaving Las Vegas. was an amazing film, I thought.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:28Speaker 1: I thought... Raising Arizona okay there we go his performance
- 39:34Speaker 1: in Raising Arizona his performance in Raising Arizona absolutely he
- 39:37Speaker 1: made that film but that ensemble cast everybody made that
- 39:40Speaker 1: film everybody was great in that film and then I.
- 39:43Speaker 2: And of course the third one Drive Angry 3D Valley
- 39:46Speaker 2: Girl sorry.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I apologize.
- 39:50Speaker 2: I figured we were going pretty early.
- 39:52Speaker 7: I would like to nominate Bad Lieutenant 2, Port of Call,
- 39:55Speaker 7: New Orleans, completely unironically.
- 39:57Speaker 2: The Electric Boogaloo?
- 39:58Speaker 1: Bad Lieutenant 2, Electric Boogaloo?
- 40:01Speaker 8: I'm going to see it just on your praise because
- 40:03Speaker 8: I watched the first one recently.
- 40:04Speaker 1: I can't get that time back if I watch it.
- 40:07Speaker 2: I promise.
- 40:08Speaker 7: It's something you want in your life.
- 40:09Speaker 8: Well, it's Herzog, right?
- 40:11Speaker 1: It is Herzog.
- 40:12Speaker 8: That right there is crazy.
- 40:15Speaker 7: And then you add extra crazy. I, I, yeah, I
- 40:19Speaker 7: think it's a stunning film.
- 40:20Speaker 8: So it's, it's like, it's a retelling in a way,
- 40:22Speaker 8: but it's also its own.
- 40:24Speaker 7: It has nothing to do with bad Lieutenant, except there
- 40:27Speaker 7: is a Lieutenant in it. Who is that? That is
- 40:30Speaker 7: the only connection.
- 40:31Speaker 2: The first one was able for air, wasn't it? Cause
- 40:33Speaker 2: he was pissed off about that too.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Where did they get the title from then? I, he.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Did not like them not tying it to you. He
- 40:42Speaker 2: was not happy with that title, but, but it's great. It's,
- 40:47Speaker 2: It's great.
- 40:48Speaker 7: And that's all I'm going to say. It's legitimately fantastic.
- 40:51Speaker 7: All right.
- 40:51Speaker 1: I will watch it purely on your recommendation, then. The
- 40:56Speaker 1: Bad Lieutenant 2, The Electric Boogaloo.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Everybody, mark it down.
- 40:59Speaker 7: So I did cheat in IMDb. The other two movies
- 41:02Speaker 7: that I was thinking about were Tetro and Youth Without Youth.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Yeah. Tetro, I heard a lot of that same stuff
- 41:08Speaker 2: about it. It was terrible.
- 41:10Speaker 7: And Youth Without Youth, I actually thought was pretty good.
- 41:12Speaker 7: At least really interesting.
- 41:14Speaker 2: See, but, I mean, he left behind... I mean, if
- 41:16Speaker 2: you go back to, like, jack like during those middle
- 41:19Speaker 2: years i was like what.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Are you doing like jack what are you doing i
- 41:25Speaker 1: had i had blanked that out oh yeah i.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Think everybody tried to and even what was the matt
- 41:31Speaker 2: damon the the lawyer when rainmaker yeah like that and
- 41:35Speaker 2: that was just like by the book like it wasn't
- 41:38Speaker 2: bad but i'm just like it's so not a coppola
- 41:41Speaker 2: movie like it's just like could have shoved anybody in
- 41:43Speaker 2: there here's another grisham movie just make one of these.
- 41:45Speaker 7: And I feel like those were the wine financing years.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Probably. Probably.
- 41:49Speaker 8: I think Dracula's the last I've seen of his, actually,
- 41:52Speaker 8: now that I think about it.
- 41:53Speaker 2: And I felt like he gets a bad rap for that.
- 41:55Speaker 1: I like it.
- 41:55Speaker 2: I think that's a very.
- 41:57Speaker 5: I.
- 41:57Speaker 8: Liked how he doesn't belong in it.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Well, everybody likes to badmouth him, but I think... Was
- 42:02Speaker 2: it Sterling that brought up the point? Jonathan is an idiot.
- 42:06Speaker 2: We needed someone to play in it. Like, he lives
- 42:09Speaker 2: with a vampire for months on end and is like,
- 42:12Speaker 2: something's peculiar around here. So you kind of need an
- 42:15Speaker 2: idiot to play him. So I was like, once he
- 42:17Speaker 2: said that, I was like, all right, maybe it was
- 42:18Speaker 2: good casting, actually. Jonathan Harker's a moron.
- 42:22Speaker 7: Gary Oldman's great in that.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Oh, he's fantastic.
- 42:24Speaker 8: Again, that's great. The blue sunglasses.
- 42:26Speaker 2: His key performance for me. That's kind of where I
- 42:29Speaker 2: go to. I mean, he's got so many, but like,
- 42:32Speaker 2: I don't know, he's just so good at it.
- 42:34Speaker 8: I like his role in the professional... Oh, yeah.
- 42:36Speaker 2: Well, that was that run.
- 42:38Speaker 8: That 90s run. Romeo is Bleeding.
- 42:42Speaker 7: Now, if only he and Uma Thurman or Isabella Rossellini
- 42:46Speaker 7: had ever had kids.
- 42:47Speaker 1: Well, see, that goes into one of my other categories,
- 42:50Speaker 1: is people that I wish had started Dynasty.
- 42:52Speaker 8: Why aren't you having children?
- 42:53Speaker 1: People that I wish had started Dynasty. Gary Oldman. Gary
- 42:56Speaker 1: Oldman falls into that category. I so wish he would
- 43:00Speaker 1: have a baby.
- 43:01Speaker 2: With Harrison Ford.
- 43:02Speaker 1: With Harrison Ford.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Based on that last movie.
- 43:04Speaker 1: I do. I really do.
- 43:05Speaker 7: I'll have a baby with Gary Oldman. I'll take one
- 43:08Speaker 7: for the team.
- 43:11Speaker 2: All right, Gary. It's on the table. Quite literally, I suppose.
- 43:16Speaker 2: However you want to go about it.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Well, then.
- 43:22Speaker 2: So, have we finished the Coppola clan?
- 43:26Speaker 1: I think so.
- 43:26Speaker 7: Yeah, did we hit on everybody? We didn't talk about Carmine.
- 43:29Speaker 7: We didn't talk about the patriarch. who did all the music,
- 43:33Speaker 7: who is also an Oscar winner. They're like the other
- 43:35Speaker 7: family other than the Houstons that has three generations of
- 43:38Speaker 7: Oscar winners. So, shout out to Carmine, if that's his name.
- 43:42Speaker 2: We've said a lot of odd things about your family,
- 43:44Speaker 2: but if you'd like to, you know, if the wine
- 43:47Speaker 2: company would like to sponsor the show, or send us
- 43:49Speaker 2: free cases of wine, whatever, we'll take whatever we can.
- 43:52Speaker 7: Goes great with Uncle Matty's pizza.
- 43:54Speaker 2: None of these are working, by the way, you realize that.
- 43:56Speaker 7: I don't care, I'm going to keep going. I had
- 43:58Speaker 7: Uncle Matty's on my way here, just... FYI.
- 44:00Speaker 1: What a shock.
- 44:01Speaker 7: Oh, we had that last night. It's really good.
- 44:03Speaker 2: It is good.
- 44:03Speaker 7: They make a really good pizza.
- 44:04Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 44:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 44:06Speaker 8: And they have the, oh, because they have the vegan cheese.
- 44:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:08Speaker 2: They drag their feet on sponsoring, though.
- 44:11Speaker 7: Well, maybe because.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Speaking of sponsoring, Prison State PBS Frontline, April 29th. Please watch.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Where do you find that again?
- 44:21Speaker 1: On PBS? It's only PBS.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Okay. Just getting the right plug out there so we
- 44:25Speaker 2: know where to look for it.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Please check your local listings.
- 44:27Speaker 2: There you go. Do you have other people you want
- 44:29Speaker 2: to move on to? I've got a random list, but
- 44:32Speaker 2: if you've got ones that you're more angry at... Oh, angry?
- 44:35Speaker 8: I was going to say the Fondas, but I don't
- 44:36Speaker 8: think that's... Nah. That one's not... That one doesn't make
- 44:39Speaker 8: me angry.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Well, then you just get to the bottom of it
- 44:42Speaker 2: and go, what the hell happened to Bridget? The ones
- 44:44Speaker 2: that just sort of disappear. She's had some good moments. Yeah,
- 44:47Speaker 2: but where did she go?
- 44:48Speaker 1: She.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Seemed like she left the whole acting thing behind.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Well, she did the right thing then. She took her
- 44:54Speaker 1: own life like a samurai. It's what one must do
- 45:00Speaker 1: when they dishonor the family.
- 45:01Speaker 2: Did she? And yet Jane didn't? Wait, how did this go?
- 45:07Speaker 2: If not for the 60s stuff, how about for Monster-in-Law
- 45:10Speaker 2: or whatever that thing was?
- 45:13Speaker 1: She did start the home exercise craze.
- 45:18Speaker 2: If not invented it, she certainly perfected it and marketed
- 45:21Speaker 2: it better than anyone.
- 45:23Speaker 1: You gotta hand it to her on that. With the
- 45:26Speaker 1: help of Ted's money.
- 45:29Speaker 2: Everything works better with Ted's money. Again, if Ted would
- 45:31Speaker 2: like to sponsor this show. We're on some Turner ads
- 45:34Speaker 2: right now.
- 45:34Speaker 7: And with the help of Spandex. Yeah, leg warmers and Spandex.
- 45:40Speaker 1: If nobody else has a new one, I'd like to
- 45:42Speaker 1: bring up the Smiths. As in Will Smith.
- 45:51Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 45:53Speaker 1: Silly little boy, Jaden. And girl.
- 45:56Speaker 2: Take your pick.
- 45:57Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything with her in it yet.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Mostly her musical career. It's a different road.
- 46:05Speaker 1: I appreciate the trajectory that Will has been on. The
- 46:09Speaker 1: Pursuit of Happiness was in my top ten of all
- 46:12Speaker 1: time greatest films. I thought that from a storytelling perspective
- 46:16Speaker 1: and the adaption of a true event, a real life story,
- 46:20Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely wasn't a Pearl Harbor. Crickets.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Rightful.
- 46:30Speaker 1: But, just the way that story was told and the
- 46:32Speaker 1: way that he transformed himself to play that character, I
- 46:36Speaker 1: just thought was a stunning performance. I really, I thought
- 46:39Speaker 1: he was completely overlooked for what he did in that film. But,
- 46:43Speaker 1: Then he gave us Jaden. And, you know, I mean,
- 46:48Speaker 1: the Karate Kid.
- 46:49Speaker 2: Remake, come on.
- 46:52Speaker 1: I didn't even bother. I watched it, and I had
- 46:56Speaker 1: to keep the knife out of my hand because I
- 46:59Speaker 1: was going to take my own life.
- 47:00Speaker 8: Has anybody seen Six Degrees of Separation?
- 47:02Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 47:03Speaker 2: That's early.
- 47:04Speaker 1: Fantastic film.
- 47:05Speaker 8: Well, there's another legacy in there, too.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Sutherland. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. And, um... Oh, he's a woman.
- 47:11Speaker 8: That's fantastic. She was in Grease.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Stalker Channing.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Stalker Channing.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Yeah. But with Will, what I don't understand is, like,
- 47:17Speaker 2: he's had what's probably, what, at least 20-year span of, like,
- 47:21Speaker 2: being kind of beloved. Like, not just people like him
- 47:24Speaker 2: a little bit. Like, even when he makes bad movies
- 47:28Speaker 2: or whatever, people just kind of still love him because
- 47:30Speaker 2: he's such a likable guy. How the hell is it that, like,
- 47:34Speaker 2: I have met no one who likes that Jaden kid. Like,
- 47:38Speaker 2: how can you, like, love the dad so much? Well, okay, Lucy,
- 47:42Speaker 2: go ahead then. And hate the son so much.
- 47:44Speaker 7: I feel badly. And I'll talk trash about Nick Cassavetes
- 47:49Speaker 7: until the cows come home. But he's a kid. We've
- 47:53Speaker 7: got to leave this kid alone. It kind of broke
- 47:54Speaker 7: my heart when he got nominated for a Razzie. Or
- 47:56Speaker 7: did he get the Razzie? Like, it's just mean.
- 47:59Speaker 2: That's what I think is weird, though. Like, not only, like,
- 48:02Speaker 2: everyone loves Will Smith, but, like, this poor child across
- 48:07Speaker 2: the board. People just despise him.
- 48:09Speaker 1: I think despise is a strong word.
- 48:13Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of bad comments about him.
- 48:16Speaker 1: I do not appreciate what he is trying to do
- 48:19Speaker 1: in the industry. Let's put it that way. I think
- 48:21Speaker 1: he should finish school. He should go to college and
- 48:26Speaker 1: he should try to be an accountant or something for
- 48:31Speaker 1: a while. And then maybe.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Are you saying that because you don't like his performances
- 48:36Speaker 2: so much? Because there are so many child actors that
- 48:38Speaker 2: I think are good that I'm like, thank God they
- 48:40Speaker 2: didn't go to school. School's lame. Look at these amazing.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Performances we got for years. I think he is an
- 48:45Speaker 1: extremely weak actor.
- 48:46Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 48:47Speaker 12: I wonder if the Smith children have been kind of
- 48:49Speaker 12: forced into their Hollywood roles as being.
- 48:54Speaker 12: Whatever the girl does, her horrible music, and I don't
- 48:57Speaker 12: even know.
- 48:58Speaker 2: But I don't know.
- 48:59Speaker 12: I wonder if that's even something they're interested in or
- 49:01Speaker 12: if they're just kind of forced into it because that's
- 49:03Speaker 12: what they can think. They can make money off of
- 49:05Speaker 12: them like they're little commodities.
- 49:07Speaker 1: I will not believe that Will would do that to
- 49:09Speaker 1: his daughter.
- 49:10Speaker 3: See?
- 49:11Speaker 1: He's still beloved. He is beloved. He is. I don't know.
- 49:14Speaker 2: So we'll blame Mom.
- 49:15Speaker 7: I think we can't even really wrap our heads around
- 49:18Speaker 7: that reality.
- 49:19Speaker 1: Wrap? I think.
- 49:20Speaker 2: Where you're going. I was going way back. I was
- 49:22Speaker 2: going deep on the will. Go ahead.
- 49:24Speaker 7: I mean, if you grow up in that environment and
- 49:27Speaker 7: it's just sort of the family business and you just,
- 49:30Speaker 7: I mean, I know there's a certain sense of entitlement.
- 49:33Speaker 7: I'm sure the kid's a real asshole, but it's not.
- 49:35Speaker 7: I don't know. He's a kid. He's a kid. And
- 49:38Speaker 7: he'll grow up and he'll realize that he's not just
- 49:41Speaker 7: entitled to have a career and you have to work
- 49:44Speaker 7: for things.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Oh or maybe he takes some.
- 49:46Speaker 7: Classes or maybe he won't but let's give him a
- 49:49Speaker 7: chance we.
- 49:50Speaker 2: All turn on him right now maybe he'll run away
- 49:54Speaker 2: we'll all win yay no this is one i wanted
- 49:57Speaker 2: to bring up because this i think fits almost all
- 49:59Speaker 2: of this stuff is like i think it's always a
- 50:01Speaker 2: bad idea for the child to go into the same
- 50:05Speaker 2: business as the parent specifically the same job. Like if
- 50:10Speaker 2: you can adjust it a little and be like, okay,
- 50:12Speaker 2: you were an actor. I want to be a director.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Maybe you can get it. But I mean, does it
- 50:16Speaker 2: constantly stack the deck so much that like, you're never
- 50:20Speaker 2: going to get a fair break. Like even if you
- 50:22Speaker 2: end up going through the right channels and not coasting
- 50:25Speaker 2: on your name and are actually talented and, you're still
- 50:28Speaker 2: constantly going to be compared to your parents. So is
- 50:31Speaker 2: that just a bad idea?
- 50:33Speaker 1: Nepotism in any industry is bad. It is bad. I
- 50:38Speaker 1: don't care if you're a bail bondsman. It's just not
- 50:42Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You do your children a
- 50:44Speaker 1: disservice by allowing them to not have to go through
- 50:48Speaker 1: the system. My daughter wants desperately to be a set designer.
- 50:54Speaker 1: And given the fact that my career is on such
- 50:57Speaker 1: a stellar upward trajectory. You don't even know how awesome.
- 51:04Speaker 2: You were like, come on, honey, let's go. Bring your
- 51:07Speaker 2: fabrics and get on in here.
- 51:09Speaker 1: That's right. But no, I would definitely give her jobs
- 51:16Speaker 1: on sets as a PA. I would allow her to
- 51:19Speaker 1: hang around the set, and I think that's given her
- 51:22Speaker 1: a little glimpse inside of what what happens on a
- 51:26Speaker 1: film set, and you get to know film set etiquette.
- 51:30Speaker 1: But I would expect my daughter, if my career had
- 51:33Speaker 1: any sort of upward mobility in all seriousness, I would
- 51:37Speaker 1: expect my daughter to work from the ground floor and
- 51:41Speaker 1: to learn all those things that I had to learn
- 51:43Speaker 1: starting out, which is you are the bottom of the
- 51:47Speaker 1: food chain until you aren't.
- 51:48Speaker 2: Until you can make yourself not.
- 51:51Speaker 1: Until you can make yourself not. And the attitude is everything.
- 51:54Speaker 1: And rolling your eyes at the production coordinator because you
- 51:57Speaker 1: don't want to go get somebody a salad is the
- 52:00Speaker 1: wrong thing to do. You don't do those things. And
- 52:04Speaker 1: I think that whether you're starting out as the first
- 52:08Speaker 1: person in your family in this industry or you're a
- 52:12Speaker 1: third generation or a fourth generation, you have to learn
- 52:14Speaker 1: those things. And parents that don't allow their children to
- 52:17Speaker 1: learn those things the hard way are doing them a
- 52:20Speaker 1: major disservice.
- 52:21Speaker 8: I think when you don't arrive to a point, and
- 52:23Speaker 8: that's the thing, they're just jumping right in and skipping
- 52:26Speaker 8: all that. And then also, I wonder how, say Sofia Coppola,
- 52:29Speaker 8: I wonder how she does treat people in positions that
- 52:32Speaker 8: she hasn't actually had to do herself. Maybe she does
- 52:36Speaker 8: have a grace on the set, but I doubt it.
- 52:39Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
- 52:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying.
- 52:41Speaker 8: Because if you did start out getting coffee, you're not
- 52:44Speaker 8: going to talk down when you're at that point where
- 52:47Speaker 8: you're asking someone to get coffee.
- 52:48Speaker 1: I think if you work as a director... And I've
- 52:52Speaker 1: never directed a feature. I've only directed documentaries. But if
- 52:57Speaker 1: you work as a director, I believe that in order
- 53:01Speaker 1: to be an efficient director, you have to at least
- 53:04Speaker 1: have empathy. And you have to understand that time takes time.
- 53:09Speaker 1: It takes a long time for somebody to perform this action,
- 53:15Speaker 1: to set the lights, and to do all these. You
- 53:18Speaker 1: have to have some empathy for those other crew positions,
- 53:20Speaker 1: or else you... you walk onto a set with a
- 53:24Speaker 1: really warped sense of reality, and it just creates bad bedfellows.
- 53:30Speaker 1: I mean, the crew is going to, I think, resent
- 53:35Speaker 1: you the first time you make a mistake. And from
- 53:39Speaker 1: that point on, that stuff shows up on the screen.
- 53:43Speaker 1: And I don't care. You could argue that ten ways
- 53:45Speaker 1: to Sunday. It will show up on the screen in
- 53:47Speaker 1: some way, shape, or form. when there's not cohesiveness and
- 53:51Speaker 1: when there's not a real love for the director. Because
- 53:56Speaker 1: the director is the key. The director is the one
- 53:58Speaker 1: that's captaining the ship. And you have to follow the director.
- 54:03Speaker 2: I just feel like it seems like, again, it just
- 54:06Speaker 2: seems like whatever business you go in, if you're ending
- 54:09Speaker 2: up going, specifically because the entertainment business is so publicized
- 54:13Speaker 2: and everything is about the way that you market stuff
- 54:15Speaker 2: and what people say about, you know, celebrities, whether or
- 54:18Speaker 2: not it has anything to do with their art. To me,
- 54:21Speaker 2: it's just like, you are just setting yourself up. And
- 54:23Speaker 2: so many times it feels like the kid never gets
- 54:26Speaker 2: out of the shadow of, of who they ever wants
- 54:28Speaker 2: in a while. There's an example where they will kind
- 54:30Speaker 2: of surpass, but it just seems like so many, and
- 54:34Speaker 2: you see so many kids do that. And I guess
- 54:36Speaker 2: it's just exposure. They're just surrounded by the business and
- 54:39Speaker 2: they're like, well, that's what I do. But I don't know.
- 54:41Speaker 2: It just seems like so many times that you see
- 54:44Speaker 2: them go into the exact same business, and then they're
- 54:46Speaker 2: just fighting that fight from day one. Maybe they coasted
- 54:50Speaker 2: in on their name, but then as soon as they
- 54:53Speaker 2: get there, people just want to rake them over the
- 54:54Speaker 2: coals because of their name. So it's a double-edged sword
- 54:57Speaker 2: in some cases, it seems like.
- 55:00Speaker 1: Well, but there have been a few families where the
- 55:04Speaker 1: children have surpassed. Yeah.
- 55:07Speaker 2: It's the exception, but there are a good amount of them.
- 55:10Speaker 1: I think the Bridges family. There's Lloyd, but Jeff Bridges is,
- 55:18Speaker 1: I think, an icon. The guy, not to put too
- 55:23Speaker 1: fine of a point on it, but I think the
- 55:24Speaker 1: guy really sets the bar for a lot of Hollywood
- 55:28Speaker 1: actors nowadays. He's somebody to look at and aspire to
- 55:34Speaker 1: be that good.
- 55:36Speaker 7: And then there's Bo Bridges.
- 55:38Speaker 2: He's got a sitcom now? Does he?
- 55:40Speaker 7: I don't know if this is still the case, but
- 55:42Speaker 7: a few years ago I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard
- 55:44Speaker 7: and there's the Lloyd Bridges star and then there's the
- 55:46Speaker 7: Jeff Bridges star and then there's an empty star. They
- 55:49Speaker 7: really want Bo to like.
- 55:50Speaker 2: There's a piece of duct tape that says Bo on it.
- 55:52Speaker 7: He's just not there yet.
- 55:54Speaker 8: That makes me a little sad.
- 55:56Speaker 7: He can do it.
- 55:57Speaker 2: We're collecting money to get it done. There's time.
- 56:03Speaker 8: And then there's todd bridges i met him.
- 56:06Speaker 10: The most high caliber he's doing a lot of uh
- 56:11Speaker 10: i met him in a comic book or i didn't
- 56:13Speaker 10: may i saw him in the lobby in a comic
- 56:15Speaker 10: book convention he's.
- 56:17Speaker 1: Actually a producer with chris make peace on homes on
- 56:20Speaker 1: home that's what he's doing.
- 56:22Speaker 8: Now we had he had to do his public service
- 56:25Speaker 8: lecturing at high schools Starting to say, as long as
- 56:27Speaker 8: he's not knocking over liquor stores, good for him. He
- 56:32Speaker 8: doesn't look like his dad, though.
- 56:35Speaker 1: Can we talk about people I wish had had dynasties?
- 56:37Speaker 1: Some more of those people? Roger Deakins. I would like
- 56:43Speaker 1: to be Roger Deakins' baby.
- 56:45Speaker 7: Does he not have children?
- 56:47Speaker 1: Well, if he does, they're not in the industry.
- 56:49Speaker 2: They're not you, which is the important part.
- 56:53Speaker 1: What did you say? I was thinking about me. I
- 56:55Speaker 1: didn't hear anything you just said. Roger Deakins has such
- 56:58Speaker 1: a catalog of great films under his belt. Brazil, Sid
- 57:01Speaker 1: and Nancy, Fargo.
- 57:03Speaker 7: Oh, I didn't realize he'd done Sid and Nancy.
- 57:05Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Sid and Nancy, Fargo, Raising Arizona, it was
- 57:07Speaker 1: DP on that, No Country for Old Men, which, another dynasty, Brolin. Yeah.
- 57:13Speaker 1: You know, so he consistently churns out fantastic work. That
- 57:20Speaker 1: guy is amazing, and I want to be his child.
- 57:23Speaker 8: I think he just did the, I saw the, Prisoners?
- 57:28Speaker 8: I think he did that. Yeah, he did. I'm not certain.
- 57:34Speaker 8: The way that was done, it really made that movie.
- 57:37Speaker 8: That's worth seeing, specifically for that.
- 57:40Speaker 1: Shawshank was another one. I actually worked on Shawshank. I'd
- 57:45Speaker 1: always liked Deacon's films since Brazil. And then watched Sid
- 57:52Speaker 1: and Nancy and really fell in love. with his work
- 57:56Speaker 1: there so when I got to I got a job
- 57:59Speaker 1: on Shawshank just so I could watch him work which
- 58:02Speaker 1: was really neat so most other kids were dating and
- 58:05Speaker 1: I was following you know Roger.
- 58:07Speaker 8: Deakins around yeah well.
- 58:13Speaker 2: Since you were firing off all the Coen Brothers movies
- 58:16Speaker 2: when's Joel and Francis gonna I mean shouldn't we be
- 58:19Speaker 2: starting a whole new clan here we need more Coens
- 58:22Speaker 2: following this up.
- 58:25Speaker 1: That's dual dynasties.
- 58:27Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 58:28Speaker 1: These brother dynasties. Another one is the Brooks family. Mel
- 58:33Speaker 1: and Max.
- 58:34Speaker 2: That's true. In a different direction, kind of. But he's
- 58:37Speaker 2: becoming bigger and bigger.
- 58:39Speaker 1: It works. So you've got Mel Brooks, who's like.
- 58:44Speaker 2: One of the funniest men on the planet.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Funniest man on the planet. He's AFI, Lifetime Achievement, Oscar, Tony.
- 58:50Speaker 1: And then Max, who I didn't know this until recently...
- 58:54Speaker 1: was actually a writer on SNL for several years before
- 58:58Speaker 1: he released the Zombie Survival Guide. And then World War Z.
- 59:04Speaker 1: And then he... See, this is where I really think
- 59:07Speaker 1: he's done it right. Max Brooks has done it right.
- 59:11Speaker 1: He was asked to write the screenplay to World War
- 59:15Speaker 1: Z and turned it down and said he is not
- 59:18Speaker 1: a good enough screenwriter to do that. And I wish
- 59:22Speaker 1: he had.
- 59:22Speaker 7: I wish he had done it.
- 59:24Speaker 1: But it was like, that's the kind of humility that
- 59:28Speaker 1: I would hope you would see in more Hollywood dynasties,
- 59:32Speaker 1: and it doesn't exist.
- 59:33Speaker 2: I would feel like even if he didn't have that name,
- 59:36Speaker 2: just as the author of the book, they could have
- 59:39Speaker 2: at least brought him in with somebody else. It would
- 59:41Speaker 2: have probably come out a little better. Not last act,
- 59:44Speaker 2: but anyway. Well, one of the ones I assumed we
- 59:47Speaker 2: were going to go to pretty early was the Barrymores.
- 59:54Speaker 2: Everyone's favorite clan? Starting in Reverse?
- 59:57Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know.
- 59:58Speaker 7: That's a tricky one because it's not really diminishing returns.
- 1:00:02Speaker 7: I mean, it's sort of a skip generational thing, although
- 1:00:04Speaker 7: Hollywood Confidential is great. Or High School Confidential, sorry. I
- 1:00:10Speaker 7: don't know. How do we feel about Drew Barrymore? Is
- 1:00:12Speaker 7: she talented? Is there a point to her? Okay, no.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Is there a point to her?
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: That's probably the better question. I don't love a lot
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: of her performances, but I will say she seems to
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: take what she does seriously. I don't think she thinks
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: it's all a joke. And especially like now she's gotten
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: into directing. So it's like she still kind of takes
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: her career seriously. Somehow she gets on screen and she
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: usually just kind of acts silly. But like, I don't,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: I don't understand how one doesn't like improve the other.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: You would think if she had just took no interest
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: in her career, she would get those performances. But I
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: feel like she still takes her career seriously, but her
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: acting not so seriously. Because that's like even watching Whip It.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: Like I'm like, as a director, I don't have a
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: problem with her. When she's doing her cameo type performance,
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: it's horrible. It's like the worst thing in that movie
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: is her little bit part in it. So I don't know.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe you should just do more directing because
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: you just keep doing Adam Sandler movies.
- 1:01:08Speaker 12: I don't think she's done anything good since E.T.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: That was her pinnacle.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Firestarter. Firestarter. You know, okay. I can't believe I'm coming
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: out with this.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: You love Charlie's Angels.
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: I thought Never Been Kissed was a good movie. I
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: enjoyed that movie. I thought she was campy and Fun
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: to watch. It's not going on the shelf of all-time favorites.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: There's a level where she can do that stuff, and
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: that's the thing.
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: She was a comedic presence in that film. She really
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: carried off that, pulled off that character. I thought it
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: was good.
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: She's got a level where she can work, but I
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: don't know. Again, she just keeps doing Adam Sandler movies.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: There's another new one for God's sakes.
- 1:01:49Speaker 12: She's one of those people also that can do anything
- 1:01:50Speaker 12: and it just becomes popular. She just released a book
- 1:01:53Speaker 12: a few months ago that is photos she took of
- 1:01:56Speaker 12: heart-shaped objects.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: So it's an Instagram account.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: It is.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: But they gave her a book deal. What the fuck?
- 1:02:04Speaker 7: That's exactly my thoughts.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 1:02:07Speaker 7: And then it's all about the preface.
- 1:02:09Speaker 12: I read the preface and it's all about love.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I've got to get out of here. We'll take a
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: break on that one.
- 1:02:17Speaker 7: It's really silly. And I was thinking she's going on
- 1:02:19Speaker 7: this big model.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: I'm going to release a book of dick-shaped objects. How
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: about that? There's already three of them.
- 1:02:24Speaker 8: There's three of them out there.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: It's phallic right here.
- 1:02:27Speaker 7: She's been married, like, what, seven times? And she's talking
- 1:02:30Speaker 7: about love and how, yeah, I don't know. She loves everyone. Apparently.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: For real.
- 1:02:35Speaker 7: For a minute.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: She loves scamming the public.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: That's it.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: I've never been kissed sucked.
- 1:02:41Speaker 7: She's mighty. I don't like her.
- 1:02:43Speaker 10: I'm sorry.
- 1:02:43Speaker 8: When's her album coming out?
- 1:02:45Speaker 9: Oh, God.
- 1:02:46Speaker 12: Yeah, probably next week.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Nice.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: I don't like her.
- 1:02:49Speaker 7: The end.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: Drew, we love you.
- 1:02:53Speaker 7: If you ever want to come.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: On the show.
- 1:02:56Speaker 8: She's a nerd. She's almost a non-person.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: Lucy's thinking, I was this close to getting her for
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: the Harry Dean Stanton Fest. This close.
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: That's only my opinion.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: Thanks, jackasses.
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: Bring Lionel with you. This will be interesting.
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: I mean, she did come from pretty big names up
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: there back in the day. And it's funny that, yeah,
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: she went in a totally different direction.
- 1:03:19Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me.
- 1:03:21Speaker 8: Well, was she one of the producers for Donnie Darko?
- 1:03:25Speaker 8: Because wasn't she kind of influential in that being able
- 1:03:29Speaker 8: to happen? You didn't like that?
- 1:03:31Speaker 11: Oh, no.
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I can't wait to do that episode.
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: We keep putting it on.
- 1:03:34Speaker 7: Why have we not done that episode? There'll be blood.
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: It's going to get vicious.
- 1:03:39Speaker 8: You didn't like that either?
- 1:03:39Speaker 6: No.
- 1:03:40Speaker 7: Actually, I didn't, but that was not a reference to that.
- 1:03:44Speaker 7: I was just saying it's going to be a bloody episode.
- 1:03:46Speaker 8: Nods and Gunny Dark was fantastic.
- 1:03:49Speaker 7: Except the things that are great.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: Except the things that you like.
- 1:03:51Speaker 7: And those things I love.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: But most things.
- 1:03:54Speaker 7: Speaking of things I love, let's get this positive again.
- 1:03:57Speaker 7: Let's talk about the Houstons. Because the Houstons are the
- 1:04:00Speaker 7: family that I want the Cassavetes to be.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:04:03Speaker 7: So you start with Walter, who is an amazing actor.
- 1:04:07Speaker 7: And then you've got John, who is an amazing writer-director.
- 1:04:10Speaker 7: Also actor, maybe not his strong point, but still good.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: But he liked doing it.
- 1:04:14Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, he did it for kicks. And then
- 1:04:17Speaker 7: you just have like a million Houstons after that. And
- 1:04:20Speaker 7: every time I feel like I see a really great performance,
- 1:04:23Speaker 7: and I'm like, who is this? Like, the sniper on
- 1:04:26Speaker 7: Boardwalk Empire. I was like, who is this guy? He's amazing.
- 1:04:29Speaker 7: Jack Houston. Sure enough, it's a Houston. Like, they're all
- 1:04:32Speaker 7: over the place. And they're phenomenal.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: And they keep making them. And they had a.
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: City in Texas named after them.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: Because they misspelled it, so that was dumb.
- 1:04:41Speaker 7: Texas fucks everything.
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: That's not true. We love you, Texas. We have a
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: lot of Texas listeners.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: We really do.
- 1:04:50Speaker 7: Yeah, like two-thirds of our audience.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: We have three people from Texas. For a long time,
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: it was like two-thirds Texas. I don't understand why. But
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: they're from Austin, which is a cool.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Because we love Texas. They teach creationism in the schools
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: in Texas. Just a brand full circle here.
- 1:05:07Speaker 7: That's a true story, isn't it?
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: We love you, Texas. Anyway, so is Angelica knocking out kids?
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: It's probably a little late now, but... Yeah, I don't
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: think so.
- 1:05:18Speaker 7: When you have a relationship with Jack Nicholson for that long,
- 1:05:22Speaker 7: I think you just decide that maybe Offspring.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: Isn't the best idea. Speaking of which, she's got a daughter.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: She's a golfer.
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: She's well.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: She's in a lot of stuff.
- 1:05:32Speaker 7: Was Rebecca Broussard, did they?
- 1:05:33Speaker 2: Is that Rebecca Broussard's kid? Add that one to the
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: list because it was one of the first ones that
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: came up. Lorraine Nicholson. She is in several movies now.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: She's not the lead yet, but she's a Nicholson, so
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: they'll probably start giving her some. So I thought that was...
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: How old is she? 23. She's in that Soul Surfer movie,
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: but she's not the girl. She's like her friend, I guess.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: She's one of the leads, but she's not, like, the girl.
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: So she's paying her dues. There you go. Well, I mean,
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: she paid her dues. Her dad's Jack Nicholson.
- 1:06:06Speaker 7: Who we might actually want for Hades to infest some years.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Hey, I like the guy, but, I mean, it's got
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: to be a rough childhood, right? Your dad's Jack Nicholson?
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Come on.
- 1:06:16Speaker 8: I just thought of something. Tatum O'Neil and Ryan O'Neil
- 1:06:20Speaker 8: in Paper Moon. Being in the same movie.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 1:06:24Speaker 8: That's so true. And I read... I didn't see it
- 1:06:26Speaker 8: until maybe two years ago, and I love... The Last
- 1:06:28Speaker 8: Picture Show is one of my favorite movies, and I
- 1:06:31Speaker 8: saw that, Paper Moon, and I read about how the
- 1:06:34Speaker 8: dynamic with them, too, and that's something that is an
- 1:06:37Speaker 8: extra element to this, is how their relationship, actually. Because
- 1:06:42Speaker 8: she was the youngest person to win an award, and
- 1:06:46Speaker 8: he was really awful to her.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: Just one of the most tragic Hollywood relationships ever. Paternal relationships, yeah.
- 1:06:54Speaker 8: And that movie is fantastic. And their relationship in the
- 1:06:57Speaker 8: movie is... Yeah, anyway, I just thought of that.
- 1:06:59Speaker 7: Was that story about him hitting on her ever validated?
- 1:07:03Speaker 7: Do you guys remember that?
- 1:07:04Speaker 8: I read something that.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Go ahead.
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: Like in a... Like spanking her? Or like.
- 1:07:13Speaker 7: At an event and didn't know who she was and
- 1:07:16Speaker 7: hit on her. Like, they had become... Awkward.
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: And she was like, um, it's me, Tatum, you asshole.
- 1:07:23Speaker 8: Well, she was married to John McEnroe and all, like,
- 1:07:25Speaker 8: had a messed up thing.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: Oh, God, I can't remember. I didn't know she had
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: a series of relationships in her life.
- 1:07:31Speaker 7: And I almost want to say that was at Farrah
- 1:07:32Speaker 7: Fawcett's funeral, too, but I could be conflating that with
- 1:07:34Speaker 7: the Polanski story.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: Oh, Ryan.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: This is dangerously close to People Magazine territory here. All right, so,
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Cruz Kidman.
- 1:07:46Speaker 7: Oh, God, Connor.
- 1:07:48Speaker 8: Oh, Connor.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Everyone's new favorite Smith. Is he moving into the Jaden territory?
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Not that the remake of Red Dawn... It wasn't a
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: wet blanket to begin with. But he was the wet
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: blanket on the wet blanket.
- 1:08:05Speaker 7: I love that you actually watch these movies.
- 1:08:07Speaker 1: And can weigh in. Oh, I do. I do.
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: And tell us what we all suspected.
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: But we're afraid to confirm. I am not a student
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: of film history. I like what I like and I
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: watch what I watch. And the first time that I
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: see a film, I do it. purely for the joy
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: of watching a film. And then I go back and
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: ruin the experience for myself by dissecting it. But the
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: first time I watched a film, but Red Dawn was
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: one of those films where, you know, as bad as
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: it was in the 80s, I loved it. I loved
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: everything about it.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: You have to love it, kind of.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Wolverines! Who doesn't love that? And just the remake of
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: that was like a Hitler painting.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: I hear he was pretty good.
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: Red Dawn. i mean it i almost give it credit
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: for more like what it did at the time it
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: was tapping into a mentality that only existed at that
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: time and play and watching it now like if you're
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: a kid now watching that movie you don't Get it.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: But like America was in such a weird point at
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: that in history that like that movie just sort of
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: nails it in a way, in a really cheesy way.
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: But like you kind of, I don't know. It's one
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: of those like we need to preserve that movie in
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: the Smithsonian because it captures a point in America that
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: I don't know if any other movie really does.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: When I met my wife in 97 and so we're
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: at that getting to know you phase, you know, and
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: so I said, you've got to see this movie. And
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: I hadn't seen it in 15 years or whatever. I'm like,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: you've got to see this movie. It was the greatest
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: movie ever. And I turned it on. And God bless her,
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: she watched it. She didn't say a word through the
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: entire thing. And afterwards she looked at me and said,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: you had a very bad childhood, didn't you?
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: And then you wept for an hour.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: And then I wept. I was in the sucking my
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: thumb position.
- 1:10:04Speaker 8: Well, there is something that differentiates why the first one
- 1:10:06Speaker 8: was so good as Harry Dean Stanton.
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: I figured we were going to go over there.
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: It really all comes back to that.
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: The thread that goes through all of fine films.
- 1:10:13Speaker 5: That's true.
- 1:10:14Speaker 8: And the fence.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: That's true.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Which is why I love Molly Ringwald.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: That's all you need.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: Because she was in Pretty in Pink with Harry Dean Stanley.
- 1:10:25Speaker 7: Which was on TV yesterday. I watched it. That's right.
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: He's not in it enough.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: And John Cryer, too much. Don't worry, he's cashing his
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: paychecks now. It all came full circle. Nobody cared about
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: him that much in the 80s, but I think about
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: how much he makes off that damn sitcom now.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: John Cryer's hiding out? He didn't like that one?
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: See, that's the Morgan Stewart coming home. These are fine
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: films that he made, but didn't really cash the big
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: paychecks back in the day.
- 1:10:58Speaker 8: What about Bruce and Laura Dern?
- 1:11:02Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:11:03Speaker 7: And Diane Ladd. Don't forget Diane Ladd.
- 1:11:06Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 1:11:07Speaker 7: Mom's famous, too.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: I don't like the way Laura Dern cries.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Oh, my God. It's sad that we brought that up
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: on this show before.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: The Laura Dern cry face. The Laura Dern cry face.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: It's like, well, it's like Jack Nicholson's Joker. That's who
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: she looks like when she cries.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: It's horrifying.
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: That downturn.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: I don't think it fits just fine in Blue Velvet
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: because it's disturbing. So, I mean, it fits really well
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: with Lynch kind of stuff. But trying to work it
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: in other movies, I don't know.
- 1:11:38Speaker 8: Well, Wild at Heart. Oh, yeah, because what's his name?
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Harry Dean Stanton?
- 1:11:44Speaker 8: No.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: Nick Coppola?
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 1:11:49Speaker 8: That movie, I felt nauseous after that film.
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Wild at Heart?
- 1:11:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:11:55Speaker 8: I really did. I felt sick. Because anything, the vomit
- 1:11:58Speaker 8: scene with her, and you didn't even see her puke,
- 1:12:02Speaker 8: but do you know the movie very well?
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the movie.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: It's good.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: It's been several years.
- 1:12:05Speaker 8: But I just can't ever watch it again.
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: It's been several years since I've seen it.
- 1:12:08Speaker 8: But yeah, that scene with her and Willem Dafoe.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: See, that should make you sick.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: When he was up in her hair.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: Willem Dafoe.
- 1:12:14Speaker 8: That was a factor, yeah.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: He's creepy. Yeah, but Willem Dafoe is another one which,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: if he had a child in the industry, I'd probably watch.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Most definitely.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Without judgment.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Well, there's one that I'm rooting for. I mean, to
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: get to one that I was like, again, I don't
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: think it's broken through yet, but my beloved Leah Thompson
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: has a daughter who is now an actress and is
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: just kind of now coming through. She was on like
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: a Disney show and like now she's... Stop.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Stop right there.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: No, no.
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Even better. She's going to be on Vampire Academy.
- 1:12:45Speaker 8: Too bad she couldn't have been in Red Dawn.
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: No.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: Don't you say bad things about Zoe.
- 1:12:50Speaker 8: Leah Thompson was in the first one, right?
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: Leah Thompson was in the first one. Who was the other?
- 1:12:53Speaker 8: Jennifer Grey.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Jennifer Grey.
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: Yes. with original movies.
- 1:12:56Speaker 8: And we could do a, you could do an episode
- 1:12:57Speaker 8: on reconstructive surgery running careers.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Or making them.
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:13:04Speaker 7: Or ruining them and then making them.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: That's right.
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:13:07Speaker 8: What happened with that? Or what's an example of that?
- 1:13:10Speaker 7: I think there's only one example of that and that's
- 1:13:11Speaker 7: Mickey Rourke.
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: Oh, oh yeah, right.
- 1:13:14Speaker 7: Yes. They're like, oh no, this face cannot.
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: Be in movies.
- 1:13:17Speaker 7: Oh wait, this face can be in a very specific
- 1:13:20Speaker 7: kind of movie.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Yeah. And we'll keep making that movie.
- 1:13:24Speaker 8: Which was funny because remember that movie Johnny Handsome that
- 1:13:26Speaker 8: he did?
- 1:13:27Speaker 7: I didn't see that.
- 1:13:28Speaker 8: It's actually worth seeing. It's really interesting. No, it's Morgan
- 1:13:31Speaker 8: Freeman and who's the woman in it?
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: It was one of those cable standards. They played that
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: thing to death back in the day.
- 1:13:38Speaker 8: Because it's all about his he had a reconstructive surgery.
- 1:13:42Speaker 8: It was like this experimental thing and it made him
- 1:13:45Speaker 8: Mickey Rourke.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: It made him beautiful.
- 1:13:47Speaker 8: But he was trying to get out of crime and
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: it was like a new life but then he got back.
- 1:13:50Speaker 8: But it's And it's interesting because it's kind of a
- 1:13:52Speaker 8: little foreshadowing. Because I think after, I think around that
- 1:13:55Speaker 8: time he was starting to get into boxing.
- 1:13:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:13:57Speaker 8: Because Rumble was, what was Rumblefish?
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: That was 85? Rumblefish was 83 years. A couple of classic.
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah.
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: It might have been 85.
- 1:14:06Speaker 8: Yeah, because Outsiders I think was 83.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:14:10Speaker 8: And then Johnny Handsome was late 80s. But then, yeah,
- 1:14:15Speaker 8: so anyway, I just thought of that.
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: I feel like Mike's having an important thought.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm following the chain. Estevez with Swayze with, and
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: then you've got the Sheens. Yeah.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say. That was on
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: my list, too. The Sheen-Estevez clan, as it were. Which
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: I will say is the only funny thing, the only
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: somewhat clever thing in the most recent Machete film, and yes,
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: I watched the most recent Machete film, is the fact
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: that they cast Charlie Sheen as the President of the
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: United States. That was funny casting, I'm sorry. Like, that
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: was pretty damn funny. That's kind of the best joke
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: in the movie.
- 1:14:52Speaker 7: I was just thinking, I can't believe I didn't see
- 1:14:53Speaker 7: that film, and then I remembered, oh yeah, I did.
- 1:14:56Speaker 7: And then I completely forgot it.
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like that.
- 1:14:59Speaker 7: It was just gone.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the machete in space.
- 1:15:03Speaker 7: I feel that... And there's the other... There's Charlie and Emilio,
- 1:15:08Speaker 7: and then there's... Who's the third one?
- 1:15:09Speaker 8: Renee.
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: Oh, no. It's Estevez. It's another Estevez. It's... I can't
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: remember his name.
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: There's a Renee Estevez and then Ramon.
- 1:15:18Speaker 9: Ramon.
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Ramon.
- 1:15:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: Now, who's Renee?
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: What is Renee?
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: Renee is the daughter. I'm trying to think. She's younger
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: than both of them, I think. And she's been in
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: a couple of things. I've seen her. We'll leave it
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: at that.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: But, again, it was just one of those, oh, there's
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: another Estevez.
- 1:15:34Speaker 8: But it's the mother that's, Charlie's mother is different though, right?
- 1:15:38Speaker 8: Or do they all have the same mother? I thought
- 1:15:40Speaker 8: they were the same. And he just chose to use
- 1:15:42Speaker 8: the name.
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:15:43Speaker 7: He was the asshole.
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: I don't want to be Esther. That freaking Emilio gets
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: on my nerve. Oh wait, we keep making movies together.
- 1:15:51Speaker 8: Are you showing, are they going to show Repo Man?
- 1:15:54Speaker 7: We've shown it twice now.
- 1:15:55Speaker 8: Because I've never seen it and I was thinking that
- 1:15:56Speaker 8: would be a great way to see it for the
- 1:15:58Speaker 8: first time.
- 1:15:58Speaker 7: I would love to show it. I actually, I can't
- 1:16:02Speaker 7: see this on.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: The air.
- 1:16:10Speaker 7: Yeah, anyway. Oh, now I'm having a sad moment. Wait,
- 1:16:12Speaker 7: hold on.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: Moving on.
- 1:16:14Speaker 7: Emilio Estevez. Yeah, I would love to show it again.
- 1:16:17Speaker 7: I would love Emilio Estevez to come. He's like a
- 1:16:20Speaker 7: horse industry kind of person.
- 1:16:21Speaker 8: Oh, really?
- 1:16:22Speaker 7: I feel like he might be accessible.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Seems like I'm not doing much these days. But he doesn't...
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: He's directing. Last year or so, they did a huge
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: Breakfast Club reunion, and everybody was there except Emilio.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: Really?
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: And it was like in L.A.
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: What?
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: Yeah. It was like they had them all on stage.
- 1:16:40Speaker 5: They were all.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Judd Nelson is telling stories. Like, he bothered to show up,
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: but Emilio wouldn't come? I was like, what? The Ally
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: Sheedy would stop being crazy for a few minutes.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Was Michael Hall there? Was Anthony Michael Hall there? Yeah.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: Everybody in the cast was there, except Emilio.
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: Which, point of no return, by the way. His big
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: breakaway movie. If anybody's ever seen that.
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: Not Johnny B. Goode?
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: No, this was point of no return.
- 1:17:02Speaker 8: Not the remake of La Femme Nikita.
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: That is blasphemy. I can't even watch that movie. Luc
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: Besson is a god.
- 1:17:09Speaker 10: I know.
- 1:17:11Speaker 8: Please. I almost threw it out. Have you seen his
- 1:17:18Speaker 8: recent fantasy movie? I actually almost started it, but I
- 1:17:21Speaker 8: wanted to wait. It's a French where this girl finds
- 1:17:26Speaker 8: a pterodactyl. It sort of looks like a Terry Gilliam
- 1:17:30Speaker 8: type movie.
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: Creationism.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: We're back on Creationism.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: This is so exciting. He's remaking Pre-Hysteria?
- 1:17:34Speaker 8: I'll look it up. But it's a Lucas Sun movie.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: He comes out with just... He's so under the radar.
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: You don't even know that.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: His movies are coming out. The sad thing is he's
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: doing Taken 3.
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: So he goes from things like The Big Blue and
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: then Le Femme Nikita, which is just... I saw that
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: movie in the theaters probably 20 times. I went back
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: again and again and again. I absolutely love that film.
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: And then he goes off and he does the professional
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: and then he goes off and does something.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Fifth Element. I like the Fifth Element. I like the
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: Fifth Element.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: I think the Fifth Element is a fun movie. It's
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: a fun movie. Chris Tucker. Anytime you can stick Chris
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: Tucker in a film.
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: I'm going to watch it.
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: I'm going to watch it.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: They went 15 years and didn't, so I mean. He's
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: just now coming back.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: He's coming back, damn it.
- 1:18:31Speaker 7: He's in Lexington right now, I think, as we speak.
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: Is he really?
- 1:18:33Speaker 7: Yeah, in the comedy off-Broadway.
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: I think he's fantastic. I love watching that guy.
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: He's sort of redeemed himself. Chris Tucker does really good.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: I was amazed at how normal he could be and
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: yet still kind of deliver a good performance.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: Chris tucker does what i think a good actor is
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: supposed to do which is make you forget what you're
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: doing you know i watch that guy and i just
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: am so mesmerized you know he just starts going on
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: and on and it's like you were just a fascinating
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: guy i would love to talk to you over dinner
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: something he is something else Well.
- 1:19:08Speaker 8: The one, it's the Extraordinary Adventures of, it's like 2010,
- 1:19:10Speaker 8: Adele something.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: No, I didn't know anything about that.
- 1:19:13Speaker 8: It started, and it looks really cool.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: It's like most of his recent movies. What is he
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: doing now?
- 1:19:18Speaker 8: And most of his movies.
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: He's doing Taken 3.
- 1:19:21Speaker 8: Lucy is a movie that's coming out.
- 1:19:23Speaker 7: Which looks great.
- 1:19:24Speaker 8: Is that, what's her name?
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: That's the girl with your hands down.
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the trailer for it yesterday. I think
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: she's like Drew Barrymore.
- 1:19:28Speaker 8: She's almost, they're both like inert people. Maybe that's what
- 1:19:32Speaker 8: works to her benefit. I've come full.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: Circle on her. She's a non-person. I've come totally around.
- 1:19:37Speaker 2: I went in with no expectations early on, especially as
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: she started becoming the hot chick that they just stuck
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: in any movie. These last five or six years, she
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: keeps turning in more solid performances. Sometimes in movies that
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: you wouldn't even expect her to have a good role.
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: I don't know. I think she's turning into a legit actress.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: We're going to see this Oscar nominations thrown at her.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: Maybe it's just Name recognition at this point, I don't know.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: But I think she's turning in good work.
- 1:20:07Speaker 8: Well, the first thing I saw her in was Ghost World.
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: And she was great.
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: She was great.
- 1:20:12Speaker 8: Yeah, that was fantastic.
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: And what happened to Thor Birch?
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: Thor Birch, I actually... I love her. There was a
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: film that I was working on not too long ago
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: where we contacted Thor's... management oh cool yeah so she
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: she ended up she was attached to another project.
- 1:20:28Speaker 8: And couldn't do it but i haven't heard anything.
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: Yeah she's she's doing i mean she's doing what so
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: many actors in hollywood do which is they just take
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: work to work they've got to keep their sag car
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: they've got to keep their insurance so she's doing she's
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: doing as much as she can um you know and
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: unfortunately the the project that we threw at her just
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: kind of overlapped with something else and so Didn't work out. But, yeah,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: she's game and was really friendly and willing to look
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: at the script and great agent. I mean, fantastic agent.
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: The guy was, you know, so easy to deal with. So, yeah.
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: Dora Birch.
- 1:21:03Speaker 1: Dora Birch.
- 1:21:03Speaker 2: We're on our set.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: Fun.
- 1:21:05Speaker 7: Cool.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Yeah, fan. I'm a fan.
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: American Beauty.
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: You all like Dora Birch?
- 1:21:09Speaker 8: I think I've only seen her in that and Ghost World.
- 1:21:12Speaker 8: I don't know what else.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: She's done a lot of good stuff.
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: She was in Present Danger when she was a kid. Oh,
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: that's right.
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Boy, I pulled that out.
- 1:21:20Speaker 8: It's impressive.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: I do that all the time.
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: There you go.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: And it frightens people. Wasn't he in that Dungeons and
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: Dragons movie, too? Yeah. I think so. That was like
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: their big name.
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: That was their big name. That was their big name.
- 1:21:33Speaker 7: That was right after American Beauty.
- 1:21:35Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: Yeah. That's like having Michael Madsen as your big name.
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: And Michael Madsen as the beaver.
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: Alright.
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: How about the Paltros with a very popular actress these days. Man,
- 1:21:52Speaker 2: she needs to stop talking to the press. She really does.
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: She just digs the hole deeper every time.
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: What happened?
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: Well, she, as a Hollywood mother, has it a little
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: harder than most working mothers. Oh, that's I was like, Gwyneth, Gwyneth, really?
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: Just go back to uncoupling or whatever it is you're
- 1:22:11Speaker 2: doing right now because just stop talking to people. You're
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: making it worse.
- 1:22:14Speaker 8: Oh, that's right. Yeah, she's uncoupling with her.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: She's uncoupling.
- 1:22:18Speaker 8: Her other hardworking, famous person, husband thing. Well, didn't they
- 1:22:23Speaker 8: name their kid Apple?
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an Apple. So let's go into this a
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: little deeper. Let's get. I haven't read these reports because
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: I generally avoid anything that has to do with Gwyneth.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: paltrow so i'd like to learn more about this please go.
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: On um details i mean that was the one that
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: most recently got her in trouble as she was just
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: making some sort of comment on how it's hard when
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: you know you have to go off and be gone
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks from your children for once
- 1:22:52Speaker 2: a year you know most working mothers in america were
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: kind of outraged by that like every day of our
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: lives we do this and we don't make multi-millions of
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: dollars for the job that we're doing so yeah She
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: kind of probably shouldn't have said that. And that was
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: after the end.
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: Of the couple. This is in the same category as
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore's Heart-Shaped Book.
- 1:23:14Speaker 8: I think they should say these things.
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: Well, she did just do a book, didn't she?
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: Some sort of home... Or she's definitely got her website
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: that she wants to be Martha Stewart.
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: Good, let's send her to jail.
- 1:23:23Speaker 7: Appeal to, like, working moms.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: That could be a range, if you have the connection.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: Gwyneth, you're in.
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: Hollywood jail.
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Cell C.
- 1:23:31Speaker 9: Sorry.
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: Nanny can't come.
- 1:23:37Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean, we're going to have to contend
- 1:23:38Speaker 7: with those children. I mean, we just have to deal
- 1:23:42Speaker 7: with the inevitability.
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: Something is going to be starring Apple, is what you're saying.
- 1:23:45Speaker 7: Yeah, that Apple Martin will be.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: Okay, if we're working backwards, what do we think about Blythe?
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: Is she going downhill then? Blythe was actually a good actress,
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: and now Gwyneth is not holding up her own.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: Blythe is a working actress and that's and always.
- 1:24:04Speaker 7: Kind of and working with osteoporosis bless her heart yeah
- 1:24:07Speaker 7: yeah there you go based on those commercials so she's.
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: I work with allergies if that means anything to anybody
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: I have horrible seasonal allergies but you don't see me
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: on a commercial good town no I think Blythe I
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: think Blythe is just she's just a working actress who
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: fills the role and it's like You know her name,
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: I think, because of Gwyneth.
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: These days, well, that's what I was going to say.
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: That's one of those examples of, like, whether or not
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: you think talent-wise, definitely popularity and just money-wise, she became
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: a much bigger star than her mother ever was.
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: So then we can go to Angelina Jolie.
- 1:24:52Speaker 8: Oh, my gosh.
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: Much bigger star these days because John turns in some
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: scary performances now.
- 1:24:59Speaker 8: He was great in Anaconda.
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: Yeah, see? That's his best work. Then a little down,
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: you know, Midnight Cowboy, but mostly Anaconda.
- 1:25:08Speaker 7: I just realized something. I'm sorry, I'm totally changing the subject.
- 1:25:11Speaker 7: I'm actually going back two steps. I was thinking about
- 1:25:14Speaker 7: Gwyneth Paltrow and the phenomenon of Gwyneth Paltrow, and I
- 1:25:17Speaker 7: was thinking about Drew Barrymore and the phenomenon of Drew Barrymore,
- 1:25:20Speaker 7: because it's not entirely dissimilar. They come from working parents
- 1:25:25Speaker 7: who were in the industry but who didn't experience wild success.
- 1:25:29Speaker 7: necessarily in terms of fame um and then i realized
- 1:25:33Speaker 7: what the common thread is steven spielberg was both of
- 1:25:36Speaker 7: their godfathers that's the trick really yeah.
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: Yeah so spielberg is to blame.
- 1:25:44Speaker 7: Yeah pretty much way to go steven yeah he just
- 1:25:47Speaker 7: cast them both as kids.
- 1:25:48Speaker 8: What did what did gwyneth paltrow do young.
- 1:25:51Speaker 7: She did hook started it all oh yeah.
- 1:25:58Speaker 8: That was like 90. When was that?
- 1:26:00Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: Back there.
- 1:26:02Speaker 5: 93?
- 1:26:02Speaker 8: Was it 93? How old is she?
- 1:26:06Speaker 7: She's like 40 now, right?
- 1:26:08Speaker 2: Ancient.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: She's old enough to know better.
- 1:26:10Speaker 7: Born in 74, so she was a teenager.
- 1:26:12Speaker 8: Old enough to know better.
- 1:26:15Speaker 7: But yeah, so I guess the moral of the story
- 1:26:18Speaker 7: is if you want your kid to be successful in Hollywood,
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: you just make Steven Spielberg the godfather, which I don't
- 1:26:23Speaker 7: think is a title you can turn down.
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: I'll see what I can do.
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: Yeah. What, you mean Steven can't turn down B & S?
- 1:26:29Speaker 7: I don't think you can, can you? I mean, you
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: just sort of appoint somebody, don't you? I don't know
- 1:26:33Speaker 7: how it works. I don't have kids.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: I would think they'd have to agree.
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: I'll report back to you.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: I don't know if you can do it at gunpoint
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: or anything.
- 1:26:40Speaker 8: Did you hear how, was it C. Thomas Howells, is
- 1:26:43Speaker 8: that his name?
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:26:44Speaker 8: He was an EET, and that's how he got, he
- 1:26:46Speaker 8: started his career. He was a stunt kid.
- 1:26:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: Was he really?
- 1:26:49Speaker 8: That's how he got into the movie. He was a
- 1:26:50Speaker 8: stunt kid for the bikes, for the bike scene. And
- 1:26:53Speaker 8: then he liked his presence, apparently, so he's like, why
- 1:26:55Speaker 8: don't you just be in the movie?
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: He was on the show.
- 1:26:58Speaker 8: And that's how he told us that.
- 1:27:00Speaker 7: Maybe that's where I heard it.
- 1:27:01Speaker 5: Probably.
- 1:27:01Speaker 8: So it all comes back around.
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy? His dad was a stuntman, and he
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: started learning from him, and he was the only kid
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: who could ride a bike and do the stunts. The
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: other kids were all actors, so that's how he ended
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: up being one of the kids on the bike, is
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: because he could do the jumps or whatever they had
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: to do over stuff, because he knew how to do them.
- 1:27:19Speaker 8: And he was probably, what, 15 or 16 then?
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: Something like that, yeah. He was pretty young.
- 1:27:23Speaker 8: What all, he did the hitcher, and then.
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: He's done quite a bit.
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: He's an outsider.
- 1:27:29Speaker 7: Soul man.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: Oh my god. We don't talk about that. The amazing Spider-Man.
- 1:27:36Speaker 2: We'll go with something more recent. He has a small
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: part in the newer first one.
- 1:27:43Speaker 8: I haven't seen that.
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: I don't love it. What's that?
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: I don't love it. I don't love that guy.
- 1:27:50Speaker 8: Is Sam Raimi done then?
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: He's no Spidey. He's been done.
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: I love Ponyboy.
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: No, not Ponyboy. I like him. I was talking about
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: the new Spider-Man.
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like Andrew Garfield. He seems like a jerk.
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: I kind of like him. You like breaking small, sick
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: children's hearts, but I mean.
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: You heard the Oscars story, right?
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: Do tell.
- 1:28:10Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and I want to hear this.
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: The little kid who's the little kid Batman on YouTube
- 1:28:15Speaker 2: that like.
- 1:28:15Speaker 7: Oh, I love that.
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: Yeah, that kid. They were supposed to bring him out
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: at the Oscars and he was going to present with
- 1:28:22Speaker 2: the new Spider-Man and they were going to have some
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: sort of superhero banter. And it got to the point, like,
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: the night of, the kid showed up, and Andrew Garfield
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: decided he didn't like the text that they'd given him,
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: and he said, I'm.
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: Not doing it.
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: And he screwed over the Bat Kid, and Bat Kid
- 1:28:37Speaker 2: didn't get to do anything.
- 1:28:38Speaker 7: Oh, that's awful.
- 1:28:39Speaker 2: They brought on some other people at the last minute
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: to fill the hole in the show. Way to go,
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: Andrew Garfield.
- 1:28:46Speaker 7: Okay, I clearly didn't know that story.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: What a jerk. I mean, I didn't like his performance anyway,
- 1:28:50Speaker 2: but after that, I'm like, okay. He didn't like the text.
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Whatever stupid banter they'd written for him, he didn't approve
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: of it, and so he totally pulled out of the
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: entire appearance.
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: Is what they were reporting. And I'm like, that's kind
- 1:29:03Speaker 2: of a dick move. Like even just to like screw
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: them over in the structure of the show. That's uncool.
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: Let alone the small child that you're.
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: So when, when you're, when you work in, in this
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: industry or, or any kind of industry where you put
- 1:29:18Speaker 1: yourself out there, your image is, you know, it's a commodity.
- 1:29:24Speaker 1: It's what you're, it's what you're selling. It's what you're selling.
- 1:29:27Speaker 1: So you always kind of have to temper what you say.
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: If you're smart. If you're smart.
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: So I can definitely see the need to edit text,
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: but you've got to wonder which is worse, saying what
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: he's been given or screwing over the crippled kid.
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: And, like, it was on the Oscars. All of the
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: banter is dumb. It's not like they specifically gave you
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: something stupid. It's usually pretty bad.
- 1:29:56Speaker 7: I don't think you wrote it.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: Did you see the pizza bit? Like, it went on
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: all night. It wasn't funny. Like, they always write stupid stuff. Like,
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: just go along with it. That's why you're there. It's
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: the Oscars. That's what it does.
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: Which I would love to see an Oscar show that
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: lasts 46 minutes. Just here, here, here. Take these and
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: get out of here. Yeah, yeah. All right. Best supporting actress.
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: Best cinematography.
- 1:30:20Speaker 7: It would be nice to kind of drill it down.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: To just meat and potatoes.
- 1:30:23Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: They should be long.
- 1:30:26Speaker 7: Yeah, I could watch the 10-hour Oscars. Honestly, I know
- 1:30:28Speaker 7: you're kidding, but I really could. I think it's so
- 1:30:30Speaker 7: much fun.
- 1:30:31Speaker 1: I love it.
- 1:30:31Speaker 7: I'm sad when it's over.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: I think they just do it stupid. Because again, they
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: put so many stupid bits in there, but they won't
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: show us the Lifetime Achievement Awards. That part pisses me
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: off every year now. I'm just like, here's these awesome
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: people that have been working their entire lives to get
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: this award. Here's a shot of them from two weeks
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: ago when we did this. And now another stupid, wacky
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: skit that we put together.
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: I agree.
- 1:30:52Speaker 7: I think there's way too much fluff in it.
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: I mean, that's not this year. That was every year.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: But they do that every year now. That's not important.
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: I'm like, but you're an award show. That is what
- 1:31:01Speaker 2: you're here to do.
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: They just go about it wrong in a lot of ways.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: But I still like it in a sick way.
- 1:31:09Speaker 7: I love how the Golden Globes are awesome because they're
- 1:31:12Speaker 7: still doing that. And I kind of hadn't noticed that
- 1:31:15Speaker 7: the Oscars don't do that anymore, the Lifetime Achievements. But
- 1:31:18Speaker 7: I guess is that why the Golden Globes are finding
- 1:31:20Speaker 7: crazier and crazier people to put on stage for the
- 1:31:22Speaker 7: Lifetime Achievements? Because it's getting really awesome.
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: Maybe so.
- 1:31:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: And they're all drunk. Yeah.
- 1:31:28Speaker 7: Like, let's see, we had Jodie Foster last time. She
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: was crazy. Who can we get that's even crazier?
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: Harry Dean Stanley. They should give him an award.
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: They should give him an award. I agree.
- 1:31:42Speaker 4: They should.
- 1:31:43Speaker 7: He's never even been to the Oscars.
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: He doesn't leave the house much.
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: Well, the whole reason these award shows exist is... it's
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: all publicity. It's all getting your name out there. And
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: that's what their job is. When they're not acting, in
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: between action and cut, their job is to promote their image.
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: That's what they have to do.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: To maintain their image.
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: To maintain their image. Promote and maintain. Promote and maintain.
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: That's their whole life. Gosh, what an awful, awful existence.
- 1:32:16Speaker 8: And to be a mother on top of that, just
- 1:32:18Speaker 8: has to be rough.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: That's gotta be so hard.
- 1:32:20Speaker 10: Man.
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: It's gotta be hard.
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: If only she had like, A job and a part-time.
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: Job on top of that.
- 1:32:25Speaker 8: Which summer home do you go to? There isn't a
- 1:32:28Speaker 8: coin with enough sides to flip. It's like, okay, I'm
- 1:32:31Speaker 8: going to go.
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: It's like you're playing D & D with a 20-sided die.
- 1:32:35Speaker 8: Which one do I go to?
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Go to 17. Do you remember where 17 is?
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: Is that the castle? I don't remember. We do need
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: to number them.
- 1:32:46Speaker 8: That's the space station.
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: How about the Carradines? That's quite a clan. No good feelings.
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: So next.
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: Not even John? Come on.
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: No, you can't.
- 1:33:07Speaker 1: When I think of Carradine, I think of picking up
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: a hot pot of oil with my forearms. That's what
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: I think of when I think of Carradine. It's forever
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: emblazoned in my mind. I'll never get rid of that.
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: I have to say, Robert Carradine was very nice to us.
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: He stopped by of his own free will at some
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: point and, like, did a, just randomly came over to
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: our table and said, hey, guys, what are you doing? And, like,
- 1:33:30Speaker 2: did a promo for us and then wandered off.
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: Speaking of promos, April 29th on PBS Frontline, Prison State.
- 1:33:37Speaker 7: 13th through 15th, Harry Dean's Dance Fest, Lexington, Kentucky.
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: You guys are doing the promos now.
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: And please to meet me out on iTunes exclusive.
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: Neither pitched River Meltdown, which is what he was doing.
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: So he's a little cooler, just saying.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: As heard on Movie Meltdown.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: All right. At least as long as we get that
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: in there.
- 1:33:57Speaker 8: This is random, but I always think Scott Glenn is
- 1:33:59Speaker 8: a Carradine brother. I don't know why.
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: Because he kind of looks like him? Yeah.
- 1:34:03Speaker 8: Whenever I think of the Carradines, I always think of him.
- 1:34:05Speaker 8: I was like, oh, he was in some really great movies,
- 1:34:07Speaker 8: but he's not a Carradine.
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: I can't get over his veins.
- 1:34:09Speaker 8: Scott Glenn.
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: Guy's got some veins, man. Dude has some major vascular problems.
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: Okay, what about the hidden Carradine, Martha Plimpton?
- 1:34:20Speaker 8: She's a Carradine?
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: I don't think I realized that until recently.
- 1:34:23Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: Somebody was just telling me that, and it's on the
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: list here. She's fantastic.
- 1:34:27Speaker 7: It makes sense now.
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: Because she also was connected to Steven Spielberg as a child.
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: In the Goonies.
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: In the Goonies. It's all about Spielberg.
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: Apparently.
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: That's how you get that sweet sitcom deal she's got now.
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: In Parenthood, could you ever picture her with, what's his name? Ted.
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: Or Bill.
- 1:34:48Speaker 4: Ted.
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: Keanu Reeves.
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: Our favorite actor, Keanu Reeves. Again, to me, that's one
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: of those roles that I'm like, see, every once in
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: a while, it's the perfect casting. He is perfect in Parenthood.
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: He is perfect in Parenthood.
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: He is exactly what you needed in that role.
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: But he is that character in Parenthood in every single
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: movie he's ever done.
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: But sometimes it works. Because River's Edge is a good movie.
- 1:35:11Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: And that worked.
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: Again, he's the same dumb kid.
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: But it worked. It's knowing how to play... dumb Keanu Reeves.
- 1:35:20Speaker 8: My own private Idaho.
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: I think he's just playing himself.
- 1:35:23Speaker 7: God bless him.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: But occasionally, like, I don't know, every once in a while.
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: I was amazed when The Gift, he plays a drunken
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: redneck really good, which makes me think maybe there's something
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: in there.
- 1:35:35Speaker 8: That's Sam Raimi, isn't it? Yeah. I actually might see
- 1:35:37Speaker 8: that now.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:35:38Speaker 8: I saw that he was in that, but that's what
- 1:35:40Speaker 8: kept me from watching it.
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: It's so not Ted. It is not the normal performance
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: you get out of him.
- 1:35:45Speaker 8: And then there was the shake, much ado about nothing, right?
- 1:35:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:35:50Speaker 8: I heard he was actually, I haven't seen it yet,
- 1:35:52Speaker 8: but I've, I was surprised, like, okay, Shakespeare and Counter,
- 1:35:55Speaker 8: that's where I really, that's quite a leap, but.
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: All right, we mentioned the Brolins.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: How about the Hanks, the Hanks family?
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: The Hanks, yeah.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: Colin Hanks. See, that was one I was going with
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: my example. They're doing it well. Colin Hanks is a
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: good actor.
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: But I feel like that's the example of, I don't
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: know if you will ever get out of your dad's shadow. Like,
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: he's a good actor, but. Especially since Tom's still kind
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: of knocking them out and getting Oscar caliber movies. So
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like I don't know that Colin
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: will ever be seen as Colin. He will always be, oh,
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: there's Tom Hanks' son for his entire career.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: I never look at him that way.
- 1:36:28Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't either.
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: Ever. Band of Brothers, totally held his own.
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: Two of you. Everyone else at home, think about how
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: you feel about him.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Orange County, totally held his own.
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: He's pretty fun in Orange County. Not bad on Dexter.
- 1:36:40Speaker 2: That was not a great season, but he was good.
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: No, not a great season, but yeah, still very good. Yeah,
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: he does. Now, I'd like to see the Rhea Perlman,
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: Danny DeVito.
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: The super baby that will be.
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: That's right. I'd like to see that dynasty.
- 1:36:57Speaker 8: Didn't they just get divorced?
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: Hopefully not before producing Offspring.
- 1:37:01Speaker 8: I think they did. I think they're actually just now.
- 1:37:03Speaker 7: They did. But I think her baby-making years are well
- 1:37:06Speaker 7: behind her.
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: Nuh-uh.
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: Medical science.
- 1:37:11Speaker 8: There's still hope for me and Rhea Perlman, right?
- 1:37:14Speaker 7: I don't think, have we verified if they have or
- 1:37:16Speaker 7: have not had children?
- 1:37:17Speaker 8: I thought they did.
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: I think they did, and their child is Ron Perlman.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: It's the craziest thing. I don't know how that happened.
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: It would be Hellboy. It's like Mark.
- 1:37:27Speaker 7: And Mindy aging back.
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: But he did, you know, he didn't want to go
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: with Dad's, you know, name, so he tried to pull
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: his sheen, you know.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: Now, he actually, he did not go into acting. He
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: went into, he's a gang leader now.
- 1:37:48Speaker 9: Alrighty.
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: Oh, that's fictional?
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: No, that's a documentary.
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: Documentary.
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: The Baldwins. The beloved Baldwin clan. Too easy.
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: There's the Wahlbergs, too.
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: Alec came back around. People like him again, even though
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: he's a dick.
- 1:38:04Speaker 7: I think we dislike him again now, actually. We just
- 1:38:06Speaker 7: kind of like him. I think we don't like him anymore.
- 1:38:09Speaker 1: Did you see Seduced and Abandoned?
- 1:38:11Speaker 4: No.
- 1:38:11Speaker 7: What is that?
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: Seduced and Abandoned, James Tobeck and Alec Baldwin. It's a documentary.
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: I'm never very good at figuring out how much they're
- 1:38:21Speaker 1: playing to the camera and how much is real. But
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: they go, they visit con and they are trying to
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: raise um funds to produce a feature okay and so
- 1:38:34Speaker 1: it's about how much trouble they have raising money they
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: can't raise the money and god what are they trying
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: to remake um i can't remember the it was a
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: it was a brando film it was uh streetcars No.
- 1:38:49Speaker 7: It's already a bad idea.
- 1:38:50Speaker 1: Last Tango in Paris.
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 1:38:53Speaker 1: They're trying to remake Last Tango in Paris.
- 1:38:54Speaker 7: And they can't find the funding.
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: I am shocked by that scenario. So Alec Baldwin playing
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: that role.
- 1:39:00Speaker 8: No.
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: And so they're talking.
- 1:39:03Speaker 7: Well, that gives me hope in Hollywood, honestly.
- 1:39:05Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: Well, they're talking to all these folks and these just rich,
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: beyond belief rich people that they're talking to. And one
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: of them just comes out on camera and says, Alec Baldwin.
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: He's a TV actor. It'll never work.
- 1:39:19Speaker 10: Oh.
- 1:39:20Speaker 1: Bam. But I really identified with these guys because if
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: you've ever tried to raise money for a film, I
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: have these exact same conversations with people with infinitely more
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: money than I'll ever have. And I have these exact
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: same conversations, just about smaller sums. But the same exact
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: thing goes on.
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: I felt so bad.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Watching these guys trying to raise money. It's like, wow,
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: I know how you feel. I wish I could... be
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: at con feeling that way but i know how you
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: feel um so that if i didn't like alec baldwin
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: before i definitely like him now interesting well he showed
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: a real human side and he has that.
- 1:40:00Speaker 8: Um it's uh you can get it as a podcast
- 1:40:04Speaker 8: i think it's is it strictly a podcast or do
- 1:40:05Speaker 8: they air it on the radio but he has these
- 1:40:07Speaker 8: just discussions and he has a topic and i heard
- 1:40:09Speaker 8: they're really great like he's a great interviewer and it's
- 1:40:12Speaker 8: just i.
- 1:40:13Speaker 1: Have heard that um yeah uh I can't remember the
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: name of it either, but yeah.
- 1:40:16Speaker 8: It's like Fresh Air, but it's like something else.
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: Sure, sure.
- 1:40:18Speaker 8: But I've heard a few little things.
- 1:40:20Speaker 7: Here and there.
- 1:40:21Speaker 1: He's one of those guys where I feel like he's
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: not afraid to put himself out there, whether he's drunk
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: on an answering machine or whether he's just doing an interview.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: I mean, he's not afraid to tackle things. I don't
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: see one Paltrell ever doing a radio interview where she's
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: the host. Well, she's a busy mom, too.
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: She is. gotta make dinner okay she's gotta set up
- 1:40:45Speaker 2: somebody she's yeah.
- 1:40:47Speaker 8: I gotta go get diapers i know.
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: Could you have him shipped to number 17 when.
- 1:40:54Speaker 2: You fly in on your jet honey could you pick
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: up some.
- 1:40:59Speaker 1: So however he's not afraid to tackle new things and
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: i think that's one of the things that's endearing about
- 1:41:04Speaker 1: him is he'll just.
- 1:41:05Speaker 8: And he can make fun of himself, too.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: That's become his thing now, really. It has sort of
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: become his new, like, because he didn't have that. Like,
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: you look at him in, like, the 80s and into
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: the 90s, he was still trying to be a legit actor.
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: And then, like, he got this weird sort of self-aware
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: sense of humor and became this sort of, again, and
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: 30 Rock tapped into it, like, this is what you
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: do best now. So it's like, that now has become
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: his persona, like, when you see him in commercials, you
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: see him on award shows, like, That's just his thing now.
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: It's become something that works and he knows it. And
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, that's the whole new wave
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: of his career. He owes to realizing that and finding
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: that person inside him that's probably always been there.
- 1:41:46Speaker 8: It's kind of like a collective banter that he knows
- 1:41:48Speaker 8: everyone is part of, even though he doesn't have a direct...
- 1:41:51Speaker 8: You know what I mean? I don't know if that
- 1:41:53Speaker 8: makes sense.
- 1:41:53Speaker 1: I just....
- 1:41:55Speaker 8: Like, it's a joke that everybody's kind of privy to.
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: Yeah, now.
- 1:41:59Speaker 8: Now it's the stick.
- 1:41:59Speaker 2: Now it's, yeah, a shorthand with his fans. But, I mean,
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: it's easy to say good things about him. What about
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: the rest of that bunch?
- 1:42:06Speaker 7: Have Billy Baldwin and China Phillips had kids? Because that
- 1:42:09Speaker 7: would be a whole other dynasty.
- 1:42:11Speaker 11: Oh, God.
- 1:42:11Speaker 7: The Phillips family.
- 1:42:13Speaker 8: There's two other brothers, right?
- 1:42:14Speaker 2: Daniel used to be a pretty good actor.
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: Oh, Stephen, yeah.
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: Daniel was on Homicide for a long time. And he's
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: really good on Homicide.
- 1:42:22Speaker 8: Which one was Unusual Suspects?
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: Steven.
- 1:42:25Speaker 8: Oh, really? I didn't know he went that route. He
- 1:42:29Speaker 8: was great in that.
- 1:42:32Speaker 1: He was a fantastic actor. And then he found God
- 1:42:34Speaker 1: and it fucked everything up.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: Way to go, God.
- 1:42:36Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: Good career. I think he's like on the Willie Ames track.
- 1:42:45Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, really?
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: There's a superhero that Willie Ames is. Yeah, Bible Man.
- 1:42:50Speaker 8: And what's his name? Kirk Cameron.
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: Everyone's like that. I think that's his own animal. At
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: the mention of Kirk Cameron.
- 1:43:01Speaker 8: I was thinking the wall birds and that's an interesting
- 1:43:06Speaker 8: going from music to end of film which actually like
- 1:43:08Speaker 8: Queen Latifah that's not an uncommon thing I.
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: Was going to say I was going to ask at
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: the beginning do we count within the same generation or
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: do we have to have a parent going to the
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: kid or are we just doing.
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: Siblings yeah I mean they feed off of each other
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: it's possible to ride your brother or sister's coattails.
- 1:43:26Speaker 7: Now you're just talking to the bald ones I mostly
- 1:43:29Speaker 7: just want to talk about how crazy Randy Quaid is.
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: Oh, that's true.
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: That's true.
- 1:43:33Speaker 8: Who was in Last Picture Show? I mean, anyway, that's
- 1:43:38Speaker 8: just neither here nor there.
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: It's no Independence Day, but all right.
- 1:43:41Speaker 8: That might have, well, whatever. Every time I hear Randy.
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: Quaid's name, I piss myself and forget my name for
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: about a half an hour.
- 1:43:49Speaker 8: What was the deal there?
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: Oh, I shouldn't have started the microwave, sorry. that's making
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: popcorn is that not cool oh and thank you geek
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: points all right that's all i get that's.
- 1:44:03Speaker 9: All i.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: Get but have you seen the sequel i know it
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: exists and i haven't made myself watch it yet there's
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: a spin-off christmas on an island somewhere that's just about
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: eddie In the family.
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: I will buy Drew Barrymore's heart book before I will
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: watch that.
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: Well, now we definitely have to watch it for an episode.
- 1:44:26Speaker 8: They come in a combo pack now. They're big lots,
- 1:44:29Speaker 8: so it's crazy and crazy.
- 1:44:31Speaker 1: For all the irrelevance.
- 1:44:32Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:44:43Speaker 1: Gwyneth Paltrow's babysitting book. Her parenting handbook.
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: Get a nanny.
- 1:44:52Speaker 1: It's a pamphlet, really, more than a book.
- 1:44:57Speaker 8: It's a fortune in a fortune cookie. Just get a
- 1:44:59Speaker 8: fucking nanny. And this is how you say get a
- 1:45:03Speaker 8: nanny in Chinese.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: On the back it says, Whatever you do, don't talk
- 1:45:11Speaker 2: to the press. So, we should probably start wrapping this
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: thing up. Is there anyone we've forgotten that you just
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: have to get to? Because there's plenty we've forgotten.
- 1:45:22Speaker 8: What are some? Can you just list off?
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: We don't have to talk about it. We haven't even
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: done the Douglases.
- 1:45:26Speaker 9: Oh, jeez.
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: Do we have bad things to say about Michael like
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: most people do?
- 1:45:30Speaker 1: I don't. I used to like Michael. The Child of Spartacus?
- 1:45:34Speaker 13: Are you kidding?
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: It's great.
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: I think Fred had some negative things to say about Michael,
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: and then he couldn't be here this week. So I
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: kind of wanted to hear about what horrible things he
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: had to say about Michael Douglas.
- 1:45:45Speaker 7: I mean, how about the Buseys? There's a legacy.
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: That is. That is.
- 1:45:53Speaker 7: And they were in a movie together with Harry Dean Stanton.
- 1:45:56Speaker 1: What?
- 1:45:57Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:45:58Speaker 8: Which one?
- 1:45:58Speaker 7: Straight Time, which is a great film. And Gary Besey's
- 1:46:00Speaker 7: great in it. I would love to have him as
- 1:46:02Speaker 7: a guest. Why haven't I called.
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: Gary Besey yet? Is this pre-motorcycle accident?
- 1:46:04Speaker 2: We've run into Jake quite a few times. Have you?
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: He's actually very nice.
- 1:46:08Speaker 7: Straight Time. He's in the movie as like a, I
- 1:46:11Speaker 7: don't know, maybe an eight-year-old kid.
- 1:46:12Speaker 8: I don't know how old kids are.
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: Jake is, I mean, my brief run-in with him was
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: through email, but yeah, very nice.
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: He was very nice.
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: Very receptive.
- 1:46:21Speaker 8: How old is he now? What's his age range?
- 1:46:24Speaker 7: He must be, what, 44?
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: Probably getting there.
- 1:46:26Speaker 8: I know I've seen him in something, I just can't wait.
- 1:46:28Speaker 1: Starship Troopers.
- 1:46:30Speaker 8: I haven't seen that.
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: Starship Troopers.
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: You should see Starship Troopers.
- 1:46:32Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know. That's, uh.
- 1:46:35Speaker 8: And what, um... Doogie Howser's in that, too, right?
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Casper Vandy.
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: Well, forget about that one.
- 1:46:42Speaker 8: Who directed that again?
- 1:46:43Speaker 1: That was, uh.
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: Bob Hevin.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: Bob Hevin.
- 1:46:46Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 1:46:47Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: Of showgirl fame! Yeah, right.
- 1:46:51Speaker 9: Woo!
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: He's an auteur. All right, anybody else? Let's see here.
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: The Reynolds Fishers, if we're going somewhat old school there. Oh, interesting.
- 1:47:03Speaker 7: Eddie had two famous offspring. The other whose name has
- 1:47:07Speaker 7: escaped me completely.
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: The one on TV?
- 1:47:10Speaker 7: Yeah, the red-headed TV one. And she... Jolie Fisher. Jolie Fisher,
- 1:47:15Speaker 7: and she had a famous mom. Was her mom Connie Stevens?
- 1:47:17Speaker 7: Was that her mom? Eddie Fisher. Jeez Louise.
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: He could not control himself.
- 1:47:22Speaker 7: He really couldn't. He loved a famous lady.
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: That he did.
- 1:47:26Speaker 8: The girl in Almost Famous.
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: Kate Hudson.
- 1:47:28Speaker 8: Who's her mom again?
- 1:47:30Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn.
- 1:47:31Speaker 7: And then she has famous brother Oliver Hudson.
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: Another sitcom actor. Is he?
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: How about Liza Minnelli?
- 1:47:39Speaker 2: How about no?
- 1:47:39Speaker 1: There you go.
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: No? How about can we reject her starting?
- 1:47:43Speaker 1: I love a pretty honest Ethel Merman.
- 1:47:45Speaker 7: Just from Arrested Development, you have. Yes.
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: Well, you have to give her credit. She's gotten to
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: a point where she knows it's okay to make fun
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: of herself.
- 1:47:53Speaker 1: She's a female Alec Baldwin. She's a female Alec Baldwin, absolutely. No,
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: she's fantastic. I mean, that whole shtick with Vertigo, gold.
- 1:48:02Speaker 8: I like when that's in Arrested Development, right? When what's her,
- 1:48:06Speaker 8: the son... when he was talking about the one she
- 1:48:09Speaker 8: was dating for a while.
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: Oh, God, what's his name? He's on Veep now.
- 1:48:13Speaker 8: And they had that, like, codependent relationship, and he said, well,
- 1:48:16Speaker 8: she's nauseous. We're calling it our nausea.
- 1:48:18Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: Oh no she's she um i i don't want to
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: listen to her sing but she i love watching her
- 1:48:27Speaker 1: because she's just so i love watching her now the
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: crazy version well but you know still in in uh
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: in um with dudley moore and arthur i mean she
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: was I thought she was good in that. Did she
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: have kids?
- 1:48:40Speaker 7: I think she's pretty fantastic.
- 1:48:41Speaker 8: Did she have kids?
- 1:48:44Speaker 7: She's at the generation where your gay husband doesn't make
- 1:48:46Speaker 7: babies with you.
- 1:48:48Speaker 8: Who was her husband? I'm trying to.
- 1:48:50Speaker 7: Well, Vincent Pennelly was her dad, and he was gay,
- 1:48:52Speaker 7: but he had her. And then she was married to...
- 1:48:55Speaker 7: What's his name? I can see his face. Yeah.
- 1:48:59Speaker 2: I'm trying to block all of them out.
- 1:49:01Speaker 11: Gay, yeah.
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: Very much so.
- 1:49:04Speaker 7: So there's a number of different family legacies happening.
- 1:49:07Speaker 8: In that scenario.
- 1:49:08Speaker 2: The Curtis's.
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: Tony.
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: Jamie Lee. Janet.
- 1:49:14Speaker 7: That's a good one. And if we're going to stick
- 1:49:16Speaker 7: with Hitchcock, ladies, then Tippi Hedren and Melanie Griffith.
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:49:20Speaker 7: Who now has Dakota. Is that her name? She was
- 1:49:22Speaker 7: in Miss Golden Globe.
- 1:49:24Speaker 8: She's her child with Don Johnson.
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: Stop naming your children after states.
- 1:49:29Speaker 8: Plus there's already a Dakota.
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: Hey, my little West Virginia resents that.
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: I could have just named that, by the way.
- 1:49:34Speaker 7: I hope that's actually real.
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: Oh, how about the moguls?
- 1:49:38Speaker 1: I bet you Florida from Good Times is really angry.
- 1:49:42Speaker 2: The moguls of the Spelling Clan.
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 1:49:47Speaker 9: Oh, God.
- 1:49:47Speaker 7: They're making babies, too, aren't they?
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: A lot of them. She's got like six, doesn't she?
- 1:49:52Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 1:49:52Speaker 8: Tori Spelling has six babies.
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: She has. She's got a lot of babies.
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: Man, back up the Brinks truck.
- 1:49:56Speaker 7: I don't know if there's... Yeah.
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: That's somebody I... Emma's not.
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: doing too bad.
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: My wife, who I love dearly, if I did not
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: have her, I could have married Tori Spelling.
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: It's not necessarily too late.
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: I could have married her. It's like, that's one person where,
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: you know, it couldn't have been too bad.
- 1:50:19Speaker 7: You could have had your own wrapping paper room.
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: You don't have one of those?
- 1:50:26Speaker 7: Being in the spelling household. Candy. Candy has a wrapping
- 1:50:28Speaker 7: paper room. I don't know if Tori does.
- 1:50:30Speaker 5: Of course.
- 1:50:30Speaker 1: Candy?
- 1:50:31Speaker 7: Candy, her mom.
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: Her dog.
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: It has its own wrapping paper.
- 1:50:36Speaker 7: The things that occupy my mind, it concerns me what
- 1:50:40Speaker 7: information could be in that candy has a wrapping paper room.
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: This is why we're not doctors. This is why I
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: didn't go to dental school.
- 1:50:51Speaker 8: What about Klaus Kinski?
- 1:50:52Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: He should not have had kids.
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: Cat people?
- 1:50:57Speaker 7: No! You're going to take away Anastasia from us?
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: Just saying, really? Do you want him breeding in general?
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:51:04Speaker 7: I think she's beautiful. Who knew that the female version
- 1:51:07Speaker 7: of him would be so beautiful?
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 1:51:11Speaker 8: What a scary man.
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: The Redgraves?
- 1:51:14Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: They're kind of forgotten about at this point. I don't know.
- 1:51:18Speaker 2: But I was thinking... Because they haven't been to enough
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: award shows. There you go. Somewhat current, though, the Reitmans...
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: But wait, did.
- 1:51:25Speaker 7: Sorry, I want to dwell for a second on the
- 1:51:27Speaker 7: Red Graves.
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: Did.
- 1:51:29Speaker 7: What was the daughter who was married to Liam Neeson?
- 1:51:31Speaker 7: Did they have.
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Natasha Richardson. Yes.
- 1:51:34Speaker 1: Did they have children?
- 1:51:35Speaker 8: I was just thinking of her. Oh, and I'm thinking
- 1:51:36Speaker 8: of Miranda Richardson.
- 1:51:37Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 1:51:39Speaker 7: Did they?
- 1:51:39Speaker 10: I don't know.
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: He seems very upset about something.
- 1:51:43Speaker 5: In all of his movies.
- 1:51:44Speaker 1: Family members keep getting taken.
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: They keep getting taken. Or eaten by wolves. Or kidnapped
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: by wolves sometimes.
- 1:51:48Speaker 4: But.
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: But yeah, The Reitmans. I mean, that's a current one
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: that has passed the torch, and I'm sure you love
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: his work.
- 1:51:55Speaker 7: Oh, God.
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: Don't even get me started. All right, then we'll wrap
- 1:52:01Speaker 2: it up.
- 1:52:01Speaker 7: I did actually, I did see Labor Day. That is
- 1:52:04Speaker 7: a movie I did see.
- 1:52:05Speaker 9: And?
- 1:52:05Speaker 7: And that's Brolin's and Reitman's.
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: It was terrible.
- 1:52:11Speaker 8: Was that the hostage thing?
- 1:52:12Speaker 7: Yes and no.
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: Kind of?
- 1:52:15Speaker 4: Sort of?
- 1:52:15Speaker 7: It was a love story based on the book. written
- 1:52:19Speaker 7: by uh uh oh god what's her name she was
- 1:52:24Speaker 7: the mistress of um what's his name okay the coffee
- 1:52:27Speaker 7: i just collapsed the coffee ran its course and now
- 1:52:30Speaker 7: i have nothing left i.
- 1:52:31Speaker 8: Thought you're saying she's the mistress of the coffee something
- 1:52:34Speaker 8: mongol anyway no catching her eye Salinger.
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: Salinger, thank you.
- 1:52:40Speaker 1: Jesus tore my brain. Oh, okay, so you're looking for
- 1:52:41Speaker 1: the author.
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:52:43Speaker 7: I was just throwing out names.
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: I was like, Holden Caulfield, not a real guy. I
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: don't think he had children.
- 1:52:51Speaker 7: Anyway, his mistress wrote this book, Labor Day, and then
- 1:52:54Speaker 7: it was adapted for film and the movie stars Josh Brolin.
- 1:52:59Speaker 7: Who I had gotten to a point where I was
- 1:53:01Speaker 7: able to trust in his judgment, and he blew that,
- 1:53:04Speaker 7: so I don't know. He can't pick a good movie.
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: I don't know. I've been saying pretty good things, and
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: everyone's fighting me on it about Oldboy, which I remember
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: you were one of the only people who said, see it.
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: It's worth seeing. Was it released at all?
- 1:53:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:53:17Speaker 8: It's already gone then.
- 1:53:19Speaker 1: It's on DVD. Yeah, it's on DVD.
- 1:53:20Speaker 8: I remember when it was out, because I just watched
- 1:53:22Speaker 8: the original a couple months ago for the first time,
- 1:53:25Speaker 8: so that was.
- 1:53:26Speaker 7: I mean, there was no reason to remake it, but
- 1:53:27Speaker 7: I have so much respect for this strategy in remaking
- 1:53:30Speaker 7: a film, which is that he basically took the same
- 1:53:32Speaker 7: characters and the same central plot, but then gave it
- 1:53:35Speaker 7: a completely different meaning. I mean, it's about something completely
- 1:53:38Speaker 7: different conceptually.
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: Than the first film.
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: By the end, it definitely is. I think you get
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: halfway through, and it's sort of similar, and then it
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: takes a turn midway, and I'm like, it's made itself
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: a different movie and it gives the character a different
- 1:53:49Speaker 2: trajectory and like it really does sort of become something different.
- 1:53:53Speaker 7: I think it was a really interesting bold way to
- 1:53:55Speaker 7: go with it.
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: And he's really good and he's great does he cut
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: his tongue out and.
- 1:53:59Speaker 8: That's a spoiler that scene.
- 1:54:01Speaker 7: I guess you just spoiled at least one of the movies.
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: Oh sorry and okay okay if if we're not going
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: generational we're sticking within the family uh The new Olsen
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: is the best Olsen by far. I know the other
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: ones have way more money.
- 1:54:18Speaker 7: But she's so good. Same with the Colkins. Sometimes it's
- 1:54:22Speaker 7: like the deep track younger siblings that.
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: Come up out of nowhere. I've seen her in so
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: many things now, and every time I'm just like, man,
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: I keep expecting her to just phone it in. I'm like, damn,
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: she's good in this too.
- 1:54:33Speaker 8: She's legitimately talented.
- 1:54:34Speaker 7: Elizabeth Olsen is amazing.
- 1:54:36Speaker 8: She's amazing.
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: Amazing.
- 1:54:38Speaker 8: What would you recommend seeing her in?
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: Anything she's in. She's an old boy.
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Daughter of Nellie Olsen from Little House.
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: She's good. Marcy, Marcy, Marcy, Marcy, Marcy, Marlene, Marcy.
- 1:54:51Speaker 8: Marianne.
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: With another Marcy in there. Which is actually really good.
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: That was a great movie, and she's amazing in it. So, Olsen.
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: But yeah, back on the Brolin. This was one we
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: addressed on the car episode. I would say at this point,
- 1:55:07Speaker 2: Josh has overshadowed dad.
- 1:55:09Speaker 7: Absolutely.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: Which I mean, for a long time, dad was pretty
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: well known. He was kind of that household name. Probably again,
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: I blame hotel for ruining his career, but because he
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: became a TV actor, as we mentioned earlier, he went
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: from being a big film actor to a TV actor
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: and it killed his career. But I'd say Josh, it
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: took him a long time to get there. Like he,
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: the kid roles didn't really work out for him, but like,
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: way late you know for hollywood terms by the time
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: he's in his 30s doing stuff he really kind of
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: started knocking stuff out.
- 1:55:38Speaker 8: No country seemed to be though yeah.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: It definitely was a new level for him and the.
- 1:55:43Speaker 1: Fact that he died.
- 1:55:45Speaker 8: Yeah well that was after he cut someone else's tongue.
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: Out which by the way his wife in that oh.
- 1:55:54Speaker 8: Yeah she was in train spotting she was.
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: In train spotting she was in boardwalk empire She's in
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: Boardwalk Empire, but she's in a great film about the
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: girl in the window.
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: With, what's his name? Oh, God.
- 1:56:13Speaker 8: It's about an author.
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: Got to go to the Google machine. She's got, obviously
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: she's not one of my favorite actresses because I can't remember. However,
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: let me see here. Go to IMDb.
- 1:56:28Speaker 8: Well, she is Scottish, I think.
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: Yeah, she's Scottish.
- 1:56:30Speaker 8: But to play that, that's why I was so surprised
- 1:56:34Speaker 8: when I find out later.
- 1:56:36Speaker 1: So, Kelly MacDonald is her name. And she was in
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: The Girl in the Cafe. The Girl in the Cafe,
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: which was a TV movie where she starred alongside Bill Niley.
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: Great film.
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: Highly, highly, highly recommend it.
- 1:56:55Speaker 7: I remember seeing her here.
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: She was, I absolutely fell in love with her in
- 1:56:59Speaker 1: that movie. She was so good.
- 1:57:01Speaker 8: Girl in the Cafe.
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: I love him. Girl in the Cafe.
- 1:57:04Speaker 7: I think he's amazing.
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: Yeah, he is. He's great. Kelly McDonald. She's, yeah, she's,
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: but she's another one of those working actresses that, you know,
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: you know her face. You go, oh, that girl who
- 1:57:16Speaker 1: was in that thing, you know, which was actually a
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: documentary out called I think it's the guy who was
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: in that thing.
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: I've seen that. It's actually, it's not bad, but you
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: do that the entire time. You're like, I know him.
- 1:57:28Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: Like it's just nothing but recognizing.
- 1:57:31Speaker 1: Right. Recognizing these people. Yeah.
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: So, but I think what's, what's so, uh, likable about
- 1:57:37Speaker 1: that film is you get to hear that they, you know,
- 1:57:40Speaker 1: they're just working stiffs. You know, these are guys who go,
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: camera work sucked.
- 1:57:44Speaker 5: By the way.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: But uh it's it's just these guys going from one
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: job to the next to the next and they don't
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: know where they're going to get their next ticket well that.
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: Was that was the interesting thing because they're i mean
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: most actors becomes pretty self-aware and like they all kind
- 1:57:57Speaker 2: of realize they're that's their job like they're not i'm
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: you know i'm i've been in a lot of movies
- 1:58:04Speaker 2: not really a key character and i'm in my 40s
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: now i'm probably not going to turn into a leading
- 1:58:09Speaker 2: man like but I want to keep working.
- 1:58:11Speaker 7: Let's put him in a Tarantino movie.
- 1:58:12Speaker 2: So many of them are just kind of like, yeah,
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: I just got to keep my insurance going. They're just
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: working actors now, but they realize where they are in
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: their career. It's interesting.
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: Well, it makes them humble, which I love. One of
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: the things that I always enjoyed about working with with
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: John was that he, he knows his place in the industry,
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: you know, and he, he has the, you know, he
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: definitely has the talent to do anything that he wants
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: to do, but he's so just, it's like, I'm, I'm
- 1:58:44Speaker 1: just a guy who's working, you know, and that's how
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: he approaches everything. And it's, it was really refreshing. to
- 1:58:50Speaker 1: work with somebody like that who did not, who took
- 1:58:52Speaker 1: the job seriously, but did not take themselves too seriously.
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: And that was really refreshing.
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: Especially who'd done, I mean, even if you want to
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: take the acting out of it, like just musically, it's
- 1:59:01Speaker 2: kind of legendary.
- 1:59:02Speaker 1: Like if somebody could claim to be like, I am important,
- 1:59:07Speaker 1: you know, but he does not.
- 1:59:09Speaker 11: Come off the way at all.
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: He does not do that. He does not do that.
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive.
- 1:59:13Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:59:14Speaker 1: Great guy.
- 1:59:15Speaker 7: And guest of Heritage and Stand Fest 2015.
- 1:59:19Speaker 1: Already mapped out. Already locked in?
- 1:59:20Speaker 7: Already locked in.
- 1:59:21Speaker 9: Wow, sweet.
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: I mean, he said he would.
- 1:59:23Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: I bet you.
- 1:59:25Speaker 1: You know what? As long as he doesn't have a conflict,
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: he'll probably do it. He'll probably do it. He's that
- 1:59:31Speaker 1: kind of guy. He's just up for whatever is fun
- 1:59:34Speaker 1: and invigorating and something new.
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: John Doe is awesome. I think that's how we need
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: to round this thing out.
- 1:59:42Speaker 7: And thinking about how awesome the kid of Exine Cervinka
- 1:59:44Speaker 7: and Viggo Mortensen probably is. Because I think we need
- 1:59:47Speaker 7: to give that some thought as well.
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: Do we have a due date for this baby?
- 1:59:50Speaker 7: No, he exists. He's in the world.
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: You're planning future children.
- 1:59:54Speaker 7: He's maturing and growing into the man he will one
- 1:59:56Speaker 7: day be.
- 1:59:57Speaker 4: What?
- 1:59:58Speaker 7: Where he will dazzle us with whatever he decides to do.
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: We shall see.
- 2:00:05Speaker 7: Unless he disappoints me like that fucking Nick Cassavetes and
- 2:00:07Speaker 7: then watch out.
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: And it all comes full circle. Alright, thank you for
