• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Picture Association of America.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Let's be the weirdos, though.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Except that guy.
• 0:12
  Speaker 5: Fuck that guy.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Fuck that guy.
• 0:14
  Speaker 6: As long as we all get on board with something.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And on that note, that's where we usually begin.
• 0:20
  Speaker 7: Fuck that guy.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: And end, actually.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Fuck that guy. Thanks for listening.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: I have so much to say on this topic.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Fuck That Guy or music?
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: Fuck That Guy.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, now that one I think we can all get
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: on board with.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Let's just do the Fuck That Guy podcast.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: So it will be laced with profanity even more than usual.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: If you're not comfortable with.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: This level of profanity, perhaps this isn't the episode for you.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: With that having been said, on with the show.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Emergency alert. Defense Corps forces reported just moments ago.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not the drill.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: At this time, we are requesting the immediate and orderly evacuation.
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: Of the vicinity.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The Coast Guard and the Navy have been alerted and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: are standing by on the eastern sea.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: And it continues to burn out of control.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It has been regular. Every five to ten minutes, there
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: has been another convoy of units, fire companies, paramedics... A
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: citywide emergency has been declared.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Police officers are still on tactical full alert. 2,000 National
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Guardsmen are standing by. Air defense warning read.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We're doomed!
• 1:37
  Speaker 9: It's time for Movie Meltdown's Attack of the Killers soundtrack.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: The live transmission has begun, and we're into the final
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: hour of hell.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: MUSIC PLAYS.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: What's up, and welcome to Movie Meltdown's Attack of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Killers soundtrack. I'm Brian.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That's Lucy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: And that's Fred.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Those are our.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Regular two weirdos, which you're, I'm assuming, familiar with at
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this point. Also joining this week, we have Michael.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Say hello.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Michael left, and this is Fred 2, Return of Fred,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Fred's Revenge, sitting in his place.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: We don't need more Fred. We have a lot of
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Fred as it is.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Michael gets up to go pee a lot, so somebody
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: had to take his spot while he was peeing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: It's fine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: It's fine, everybody.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: This is your first time joining us on either of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: these weird spinoff shows, so do you want to tell
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: people about all the fun podcasting you've done in the past?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Not really, because I'll probably start bitching.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: We already did that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That's how I inspired him to join us tonight. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: went on a rant for about two hours last night.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: About podcasting and the difficulties of the world we live
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in where podcasting exists.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: And he was like, you know what? You sold me
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Yep. Wait, did you get poached? Were you poached from
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: another podcast? Is that what's happening here?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: You're on hiatus. Isn't that what I decided?
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: I'm what they call, what roller coaster enthusiasts call SBNO,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: which means standing but not operating. The podcast is still
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: on the website, but I do not do it anymore.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So people are waiting in line with their tickets in hand,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: just waiting for you to just start clicking up the hill.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: That's what you're saying.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: They say next year, 2016, might be the year in
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Louisville here for Twisted Sisters or Twisted Twins to come back.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Also the UA to podcast. Maybe both of those things
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: will be running trains again. That sounded really weird when
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: I said it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: You are very schooled in the ways of podcasting. Just
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: new to this show.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Just new to this show.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I think I'm new to the Killer soundtrack.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Have I done that before?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: You've been on there before.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: Have I?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: You've both been on there before. And everybody always forgets.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: I have. It didn't go well.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, see, what's funny is that time that you said
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you'd never been on there before, you'd been on there before.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: I had?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: What was... You were both on the Christmas episode year
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: before last.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: What did we talk about?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Christmas.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I remember.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Like you do.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Five pound bag of money that you complain because it
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't on a soundtrack.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: And then it was on a soundtrack. I found it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: What soundtrack was it on?
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: You're a huge fan of Madea.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: So luckily, it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Happened to be on your favorite movie, Madea's Big Christmas
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Hijinx or whatever it was called.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: You go deep.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I remember that now.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I remember talking about Christmas songs, but I wasn't aware.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of where I was being filed at the time.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: I wasn't either.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: You're both very unaware.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Wait, there's a Christmas song called Five Pound Bag of Money?
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: There is a song, yes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, go on.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Please continue.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: Is this where we play it? I can't sing it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to break into it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: It's out of the holiday season. You're just going to
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: have to reference it now.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never heard of this song before.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Google it. It'll be worthwhile.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: It'll be worth your time.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It is an entertaining song in general, even funnier that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it's a Christmas song.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Pearl Bailey. It's unbelievably good.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: And it gets right at the heart of what Christmas
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: is about, as you can imagine.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: It's right there in the title.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: You don't even need to tweet about that. It's right there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: It says it all.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: We'll still tweet.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: We'll still tweet about it. Hate tweets. Fuck those guys.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Hashtag fuck those guys.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: That's our theme for the episode. Fuck those guys. Wait, wait, wait.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Before we get started, can I say the name of
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: the podcast that I don't do anymore? Because I don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: think I said it at all.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Feel free to plug the thing that you don't do.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: It is called the You Ate It Podcast. Y-O-U-E-I-G-H-T-I-T. You
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: can find that at www.youateit.com or on iTunes or any
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: place else where podcasts are. I guess they're all still
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: there because I haven't checked in like six months.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: See, long-time listeners will recognize that because I used to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: play promos.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Before you were like, oh, by the way, I'm not
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: doing that anymore. I was like, oh, I guess there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: no point in me playing these promos.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: My most famous guest was you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Really? Yeah. I'm not buying that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I had an actual celebrity or two
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: on once or twice, but for the purpose of this conversation,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: it was definitely you.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: For the purpose of this made-up conversation, I'll go along
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: with that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Kayfabe, baby. Good job.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: We did build a fort, by the way.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: We built a blanket fort when he was on the show.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: We sat in the blanket fort and talked about Garbage
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Pail Kids.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Somewhere along the way, I'm sure we did.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: How do you incorporate that visual element into a podcast?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of questioned that at the time.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: I took a picture of it after I built the fort,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and then we just climbed into the fort with the microphones,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: and we just kind of sat there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I think you can hear the atmosphere.
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: Definitely.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: The ambiance of a blanket fort is like none other.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. You can hear that they're sitting in a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: blanket fort.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought was awesome, because it is an
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: audio format.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: We could have made it up. But we didn't.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We broke down your entire living room, moved furniture, built
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: a blanket for it, got inside, and did an entire
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: segment or two, I think, of just talking about randomness.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, mostly toys and trading cards, if I remember correctly.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Except for when I talk about music, which I guess
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we will do today.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Are we ready to get into it?
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: You guys are excited.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I feel like, I don't know if I've
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: mentioned this before on any of the shows, but I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: kind of feel I should preface anything I say with
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: just you have to understand that I'm full of a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: vast darkness.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Yes. Again, long-time listeners will understand.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And so, I mean, I just, I want people to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: understand that before I say anything about anyone ever.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: We're going to need you to be that darkness today.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: But Lucy is full of light and joy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: See, that's why they're here like this. Ping pong.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. It's a good balance. It's a
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: good balance.
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: Just don't get me started on Reese Witherspoon.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're rooting for Reese and Wilde.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I'm learning so much here. What is your problem with
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Reese Witherspoon?
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: We should have told each other before we started recording.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Here comes the venom.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: No, we don't want to go there. You don't want
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: to see it come out.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I'll ask you after class.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: It's fine.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Claws retract. So that was the purpose for putting this together.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I had been thinking about different types of episodes to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: do and specifically different type of music episodes along the way.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And I thought about this recently because I was like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's cool. I've noticed in the last few years when
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: We have one here, a movie theater that will play
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the entire run of all the short films that are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: nominated for the Oscars or the entire short animation feature.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: That's happening right now. Do what?
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: At the Village 8.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: I was just there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: What did you see?
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: I went to see Two Days, One Night.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: That's no Big Hero 6, but whatever.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what we saw.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: It was pretty awesome, by the way. Also nominated for
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Best Animated Feature.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Also available on my Roku box, which I had no
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: idea about until I saw the ad for it today.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: I was like, I could have watched this at home.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: You needed to get out of the house, damn it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: My agoraphobia surprises me even.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: How could you hear me bitching if you didn't come
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: out of your house?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: That's an excellent point. I'll take that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, I was like, after that, I was like, well,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: obviously we can't show movies on the show. But since
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: we do a music podcast now, we could actually set
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it up. play all the songs that are nominated for
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: song and score, and then it's actually a functional episode.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Because you know there's been many a year you're sitting
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: there going, I heard one of these five songs.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: So it's like, this.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Would give people an excuse to be like, oh, I've
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: heard all of the songs that are nominated. And you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: can make up your own mind and argue with the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Oscars like we all do.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I had a very similar revelation to what you just
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: said this morning because I listened to all these songs
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: and I realized I've seen one of these movies, which
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: is more than I can say for most Oscar years.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: One movie I've seen.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, really? making progress. Getting out of the house, watching
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: one movie. Seeing one movie.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: But I saw that in my house. It was a
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Redbox situation.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: All right. Well, we don't approve of that, but we'll
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: let it slide.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. Since you've seen one movie now, you're making progress.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: All right. Do you want me to get into it?
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: First up, we're going to start with score. Score. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I wanted to go with one that was kind of interesting.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So this would be the Grand Budapest Hotel, Alexander Desla.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And the track, I was trying to pick something that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: at least tied in or had a nice... With any
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of the score, I'm just sort of going to pick
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: one along the way that either is sort of main
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: theme-like or just encompasses the best of what it's trying
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to do. So this one just had a hotel tie-in anyway.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's the new Lobby Boy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can sense the newness and the inexperience of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the lobby boy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: Alrighty.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: So, any other thoughts on... We'll start with that song.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: On the scores, it's... probably my favorite Sklar.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That's kind of why I wanted to kick it off
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: with this one and get something kind of interesting right
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: off the bat to sort.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Of ease us in because some of the other ones
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: are more familiar.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It has that kind of miniature toy quality that his
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: films have and it seems like really right but it
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem like it was just developed to be right
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: for it and it has something extra about it. there's
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: just like a little extra exuberance and uh he did
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: write the score but i think he also used some.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Like russian pulp yeah and i think that's like moonshine
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like this extra life.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: These traditional arrangements which.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I was looking at that and i'm like what is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the weird rules because oscars have so many freaking rules
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: about this stuff that they will always disqualify people because
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: i think that's why because i actually really just songs
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: no because i know um Years ago, when the big
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: deal the year that Dark Knight didn't get nominated for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: so many things, one of them was Hans Zimmer.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Did not get nominated for Best.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Score because he also worked with all these other writers.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So if it was more than a certain number of writers,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you were disqualified. It was like six or more writers
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and you're disqualified from the running.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what the hell is that?
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Because they just can't make that many Oscars?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm like, there's not even any reason? Like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that's just, nope, too many.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: The Academy can't afford it.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Academy, can we call bullshit? Because I don't understand what
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: your stupid rules are. So I was like, but traditional? Like,
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: anything that's that old is okay? I don't get that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the reason I looked that one up, because
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I just felt it had this infusion of something from
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: somewhere beyond trying to create a score for a movie.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And it turned out, yeah, he used some other stuff,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what the rules or the judgment...
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I do know on the songs, a lot of them
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: are disqualified because it just has to be recorded for
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the movie.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, specifically. It can't be pre-existing. Or even, actually, it
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: has to be written specifically. I don't even think you
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: could have already published it in a previous year or something.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And so a lot of things that people get online
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and argue, well, they ought to do this, they ought
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: to do that, well, they're not eligible because... they were
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: already existing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Because I think one of the most memorable, at least,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: if not impressive, I really thought that Birdman running track
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: was amazing. I think a lot of that was pre-existing
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: or mixed in. He wrote original overall, but I think
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: he worked in traditional jazz drumming along the way, and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it was just enough that I think they were disqualified.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: And who wrote the score for that?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, there is so much I don't know
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: about you, Fred.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: I think... When I hear this song, I think it
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: does a really good job of conveying the kind of
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: movie it's for. I think it does that. There are, what,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: four or five instrumental songs on this list we have.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: And out of those, two of those sound like iPhone commercials.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: One sounds like a cheap Philip Glass knockoff. And this
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: one sounds like it's for a Wes Anderson movie.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: It definitely does.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Like, if you said, hey, compose me a song for
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: a Wes Anderson movie, I would instantly grab, like, a
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: toy piano. And I would grab, like, you know, a
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Play School xylophone. And I would start doing exactly what
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: they did there. So I think the message for, hey,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: this is this kind of movie, I think it really
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: comes across really well with this piece.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not like something that's a pre-existing sound
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: like you would have in a recording program. You would
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: press a button for European melancholy.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: A music box sound. And a lot of them have
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: that for me. It's like they're what you would go
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to to be a parody of what it is. Right. Yes.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: And I don't know.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of these things I found overall depressingly professional.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Like they're well done, but they're just so... Very polished.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: by the numbers.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: It sounds like somebody higher up said, write me an
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: Oscar song.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Or that thing they do in advertising, like, you know, well,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: we can't get the Beatles, so have our guys do
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Sure. And they do that, like, especially corporations. They will
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: be like, what can we do that's just like that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and insert it in there? And don't tell them that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: we're ripping off their song because we've heard that on
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a previous one of these episodes. They did that to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: a band and they were like, you could have just
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: stolen that, you know, sound and done it anyway. They
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: ended up paying them, but they were like, I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: know why they did that, really. They had one that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: was so close, people wouldn't have known the difference, but.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: So, okay, I'm already uncomfortable with this conversation. Well, we've
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: achieved our goal.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yes. Just relax. I feel completely out.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Of my element here, once again, on the soundtrack show.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: So what makes a good score? Because I feel like
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: when I took film classes, we were sort of told
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: that you don't notice a good score, that a score
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: just heightens sort of the emotional response to scenes. Right. Like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: listening to it and divorcing it from the imagery, is
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: that a responsible way to judge? Is that how we're judging?
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: How are we judging?
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: I like judging, I just don't know how.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I should say, I did see that movie. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: my feelings about the other scores could really change if
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I saw the movie, and it might be effective, but.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Of the few that I have seen, some of them
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: are really good within the context of it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And to be fair, you know, they say that what I,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: the little I know about score writing is you have
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: to try to come up with, you have very little
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: time to make an impression, and so you try to
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: do things that people almost feel like they remember already. Like,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: you know, there's not time to get acquainted.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: You know, like cueing emotional responses based on.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Shared memory.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: And so I think it amplifies it when you just
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: listen to the score divorced from the movie. You just go,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it's so obvious what they're trying to do. And it
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: seems manipulative. But I don't know. It may work. Then
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I was trying to think, what are the sounds that,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: in the context of a movie, are transformed because they're
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: in the movie? And one of the first ones I
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: thought of was opera in Fitzcarraldo. because I'm not a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: big opera fan, but something about having it blaring from
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a ship going over falls in the Amazon, it's like, oh,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I kind of get that now.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: Context is important.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what I wanted to do anyway. It's like,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you'll have people.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: We do enough with people in the industry, and I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: kind of like the idea of this being like, the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Oscars are already so very fancy, and they have so
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: many people that are so educated on what should be
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: nominated and what should win, and I'm like, I think
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: what we always do with our coverage, if you want
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to call it that, of the actual Oscars is very
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: stripped down and a normal person. So I did kind
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of just want to get real responses. I'm like, okay,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: regardless of what's going to win, we're not going to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: have any effect on that. Just kind of, what do
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you think about this stuff? And like, I, I'm more
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: interested to just sort of hear someone else's take on
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it along the way.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Cause it's nominated either way.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, we're not going to have any effect on
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: whether it's nominated or who wins the prize. It's, I
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous to try to give any of it
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a prize in art really anyway. But I do agree
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that like the nominating process does set the bar higher
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and does kind of make people hopefully, try to strive
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to do something better artistically that's arguable but again i
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: don't mind the idea of the oscars i think the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: idea of one winner is sort of ridiculous but i
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: like the idea of the nominees all being you know
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a certain level of achievement in theory so.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: That's my take.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: That makes sense and also um this is just you
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: know thinking about what you guys are saying um I
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: recorded a soundtrack to a documentary once, and there's a
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: long story behind that. Working in the industry, looking at you.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: It's a documentary about my parents' business, so obviously it
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: makes sense that I would do that, and I play music,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: so whatever. But one of the things I tried to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: do was make music that stood on its own and
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: sounded like something you could enjoy without ever having seen
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: the movie. And also something that would fit the particular
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: thing that I wanted it to play behind. Now, my
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: soundtrack didn't get used at all. So, you know, take
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: that for whatever it's worth. Well, you know, the guy
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: that made the movie ended up using music that his
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: friends made. It wasn't like a major motion picture or
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: anything by any means. But it was.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Can you plug the movie?
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: It's called Fit for a King. And I have a
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: box that I found in my parents' basement that had
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: like 60 copies in it. And if I would have
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: thought about it, I would have just said, here, you
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: guys can have some.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Because.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: They were like, you can have that box if you want.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: For future prizes.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I used to give them away to guests on the podcast.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Thank you for showing up. Here's a documentary. You don't
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: have to watch it. You can sit something on it.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: So your parents were royalty?
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: My parents make Elvis costumes. That's so much better.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: I was thinking mattresses.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Has this not come up on this show?
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Not on this show that I know of.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: I would watch the heck out of that documentary.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: I'll get you one.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: You're welcome.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: I'm really excited now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: The music's in the bonus features. They made sure to
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: put lots of bonus features in, so they used it
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: behind the bonus features. But the point is, getting back
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: to my original point.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I could copy the movie and put your music on
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: it for you.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: You could. You could take the soundtrack off and then
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: do it as I originally intended. Because it's all about me.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Sort of like a director's cut, but the composer's cut.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: There should be more composer's cuts for movies. That's an
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: excellent idea. I want a copy of Tim Burton's Batman
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: with just the Prince music in it.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I second that emotion.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: I want Batdance playing during the cathedral fight scene. That
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: would be amazing.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Batdance is kind of the weak one, I hate to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: The rest of that album is pretty solid.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: It's a funk up. No, but to end that, I
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: just wanted to say that I thought it was an
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: interesting challenge because I've made music my whole life, but
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: I never had to do it with a purpose other
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: than to satisfy the fact that I wanted to make music.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: And so it was neat to be like, okay, now
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: I need to do something kind of sad because this
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: is where my mom was going through cancer. And I
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: already had pre-existing bits and pieces of things that I
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: just kind of turned into something. It gave me an
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: excuse to turn things that I probably wouldn't have used
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: into something. And I wonder, for major movies like these songs,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: how many of these were like, a guy was like, okay,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: I wrote this. a piece of a thing six years ago.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Maybe I can turn that into a song for this movie.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I got a page sitting in my bureau drawer. I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: wonder if I can work it into this.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm sure people do that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I was wondering about, I mean, I was looking
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: at the sort of output that a lot of these
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: dudes have had and they're doing like six or seven
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: movies a year.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, one of them was on here twice.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And he did one of them in three weeks.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I saw. Yeah.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And this is probably, I mean, most of them I've
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: just sort of picked one piece. This one I was
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: going to throw at least an extra little bit in
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: here just because I wanted to prove a point about
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: this soundtrack.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: So How all over the map is this soundtrack?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Like, if you go through and listen to different points
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: in it, you're listening to, like, six or eight different soundtracks. Like,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it is so just amazing the, like, the spectrum of
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: music that is in this one soundtrack. And that's kind
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: of why I was just like, this is where I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: want to start off. This is some of the more
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: interesting stuff I want to get into because I feel
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: like This guy put a lot of work into creating
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: not just the mood for the movie, but the mood
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: for each individual scene along the way.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Right. And did you recognize that music, Mike?
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Was that from Big Hero 6?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: No, but this was on the internet here. And if
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you scroll down long enough, somebody mentioned that track. And
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I looked at it, and they said it sounded very Castlevania-y.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: It sounds kind of like Castlevania.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I was like, that's a good point.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: But again, that compared to that first track we listened to,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's a pretty big spectrum right there.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Both of those are from the Grand Budapest Hotel. The
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: only movie I've seen, by the way, on this list.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: It does sound Castlevania, but it sounds a little bit
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: like it might be kidding, too. It sounds like it
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: knows it sounds like it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: It sounds very Wes Anderson.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: He's always kind of like, I know I'm being kind
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of goofy.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Here, but it's okay.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: That's true, that's true.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing. All right, I say we
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: move on at this point. Let's see.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: So next up, we have an actual movie star herself.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Lost Stars from Begin Again, performed by Keira Knightley. Music
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and lyric by Greg Alexander and Danielle Brisbos.
• 27:19

  Speaker 6: Oh, so that's the version. I think I was clicking
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: on all the links wrong. So this is not the
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Adam Levine version.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: There is a version.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: There's two different Adam Levine versions and a Keira Knightley version, right?
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Within the movie, Adam Levine.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: I have seen this movie.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Does perform it as well.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: It was not terrible. Which is kind of an endorsement
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: for me.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Because from just hearing the soundtrack, I would guess that
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: it was horrible.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: That would have been my bad.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: If you clicked on the link that Brian sent, then
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: that is actually the version that Adam Levine sings in
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: his sellout scene.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: That's not what was playing on mine when I... had
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: that so whatever happened with that link i don't know
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: but mine is the kira knightley version the movie's.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: All about how he wrote this beautiful song about them
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: and their love and then he sold out and then
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: it became this terrible pop song so this is the
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: song this is the song oh there's versions of the
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: song there's like the like you know kind of toned
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: down like here i guess before.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: He sold out his version After he sold out his
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: version and then her for real, you know.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: She's the one that actually has heart.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, though. Are the lyrics the
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: same in these different versions?
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Yes. They are the same. But it's the guy from
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: the New Radicals. And if you hear it, you're like, oh,
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: that is a New Radicals song, which I didn't realize until.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: No, if I hear that guy, I'd go, oh, that's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a Todd Rundgren song.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Well, not the voice, but the structure of the song.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: But yeah, the Adam Levine thing where he gets all
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: high and crazy at the end, that's the sellout version.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, no kidding. But does it still have
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the line, woe is me in it?
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: I can't. It's been a while. It's been a minute.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: And does the lion still kiss a deer or whatever
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the fuck is going on in that song?
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: And allow me to say that I.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Only thought that it was not terrible because what did
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: the writer-director do? What was that terrible movie that then
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: went to Broadway?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Spider-Man turned off. That wasn't a movie. I just got
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: really excited.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Once?
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Once, yes. I hated Once so much. Me too.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: It was so boring.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was terrible.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Terrible.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: You two are selling me on both of these movies.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I totally want to see them now.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Yes, and they were wrong.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I haven't heard anything that sounded Oscar-worthy in like 15 minutes.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: This is terrible.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then overwrought.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Why don't they give Oscars to video games?
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm here for. I'm here to validate people's
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: hatred of film.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: You see what happened here? Light and dark just made
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: an eclipse.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And that's why I always go the opposite way of
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: either of probably. I'm just like, oh, Lucy hated that?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch this movie.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: So how did you like War Horse?
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I don't watch movies.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: What's a movie?
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, War Horse.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I think that was the biggest showdown that I've had
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: on there.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: We got in the trenches with War Horse.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Wait, you liked War Horse?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: No.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: She loves War Horse.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: You told that delightful story about going to see it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: That was one of my favorite stories ever.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: That just wasn't very good, was it?
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Poor dad.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: So... I don't know.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Because that was my take. I like the Keira Knightley.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: At least I was surprised that she actually has a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: pretty decent voice. Lovely. And to me, that one, I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: didn't even get the New Radicals version. I'm listening to it,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: hearing all these old bands, and I'm like, she probably
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: grew up listening. Because she starts singing, and I'm like,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: this sounds like a Cardigan song. It's like, I'm like,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: these are probably around the time she was listening to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: stuff growing up, too. So I'm like, I wonder how
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: much of that kind of thing that she grew up
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: listening to influences the way she performs now as a singer,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: especially this very singer-songwriter kind of style.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: But I thought she had a really good voice.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: She might be a perfect person.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I hate those people. Fuck those guys. Hashtag fuck those guys.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Hashtag fuck those guys. Really?
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Her neck scares me, and I'm like, more of her
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: neck for me then.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Well, she's no Anne Hathaway.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: They both have freakish necks.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's something about Anne Hathaway.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: But I do, like, I kind of got to respect
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Keira Knightley a little more when she totally called them
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: out for airbrushing and or doctoring up her poster art
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: from that terrible pirate-y night movie she was in. And, like,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: since then, she's gone on to, like, totally call it,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: she did that whole weird, like, I'll pose totally nude,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, if you'll.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Run it without airbrushing.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Like, she did another one of those this past year
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: that she's just like, I think this is bullshit. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: don't think you need to be, like, doctoring up the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: photos quite that much. So yeah, I do like that
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: she's called them out for that several times in her career.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: So just for that, I kind of give her points
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: that she's pretty cool.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: And I kind of forget she's a really good actress.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: She gets thrown in so many movies as the year
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: goes on that you kind of.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Lose track of like, oh, she is really a good actress.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Is that why they call it casting? They just throw
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: them into a movie?
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Pretty sure. Have you seen some of these?
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: I will say this in the Keira Knightley and Hathaway debate,
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: if that is the debate that we're about to have.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: Yes, it is. Let's go.
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: This is just totally... I'm sorry. This is tangential, but
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I apologize in advance, Brian. But I did like a
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: lot that in the, oh my gosh, I've already forgotten.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: What's the Alan Turing movie called?
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: You know, The Imitation Game.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: The Imitation Game. Keira Knightley plays a really smart person
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: who you believe is a really smart person.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: In the Chris Nolan movie.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Princess Diaries?
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: I'm forgetting all my movie titles this year. What's the
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: space movie with Matthew McConaughey?
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, Interstellar.
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: Interstellar. Anne Hathaway plays a really smart person that you
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: do not believe is even like.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, I never once said I thought she was smart
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: or that she could play smart.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: That's not what this debate is about.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: He's just all about that neck.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying... Okay, before I say that, I don't
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: watch many movies, so could somebody please tell me a
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: movie that I might have seen that had Keira Knightland?
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: because I haven't seen this one. What were some movies that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: I.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: Feel like Atonement was her giant breakout movie. I hated
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: that movie.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: That's very Oscar-y, though. I'm trying to think of, like,
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: normal crap.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Give me something PG-13. Those don't get nominated for Oscar.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Was she in Pride and Prejudice?
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Again, that's very Oscar-y.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Was that just somebody who looks like her?
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: That's called Natalie Portman.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: So what has she been in, like, mainstream, where she
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: doesn't have an accent?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Well, she was in the Pirate movie.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: That was dumb.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Actually, the first one's not bad, if you don't
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: know who Johnny Depp is.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, Johnny Depp, I thought you were talking about, you
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: said the first one, I thought they made a sequel
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: to the Russell Crowe pirate movie.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: What was that one?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Master and Commander, Far Side of the Sun.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, let's scroll down while we're on the tangent here.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: What was it? It was Master and Commander, Far Side
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: of the title of this movie.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Lord of the Apes.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, I saw five minutes of
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Master and Commander, and I thought that water looked amazing.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: That boat was so dark in that water. That ocean
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: was so dark.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Aside from initially actually pretending to be Natalie Portman, which
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: is what makes that point, again, how can we forget
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the Oscar-nominated Bend It Like Beckham?
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: Didn't see it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I think I'm exaggerating a little on that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: She was in that?
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That was a great little movie. She's the other
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: main girl.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: That was a neat little movie.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: Love Actually.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Didn't see it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: It's a very questionable relationship going on there.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Love Questionably.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Love, are you fucking serious?
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Domino, do you like kicking ass? Thank you. Because Domino.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Kicking ass is all right. I haven't seen Domino.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: There's one for your list. All right. That one is
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: not Oscar-y at all.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: What list am I putting this on?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Ass-kicking movies that are directed by a crazy Tony Scott.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Crazy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: That was when he went off the rails, which he
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: literally did. No offense to the Scott family.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: But he did everything else is very.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know serious oscar either oh period costume dramas
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: i know you like the extra.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah well yeah there's a debate about that because it's
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: a feminine ending and uh i think nabokov said that
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't be anna karenina it would It would be
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the male ending Karenina. Unless you're a ballerina or a
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: celebrity then they do the feminine because you're your own
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: entity somehow.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: That's why other languages are dumb.
• 39:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: That's why English rules the world motherfuckers. Hashtag fuck those guys.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: In any language you can say it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: We all love Keira Knightley. That's the moral of the story.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Regardless of whether you like the song or not, Keira
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Knightley's pretty cool.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I like her that much.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Do you like her now?
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: She is certainly attractive. She has a great smile and
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: a great neck.
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: Wait, is she the one in those vampire, or she
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: fights wolves or robots or something? And they made nine
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: of them?
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: No, they're not. That'd be Mila. Who is it?
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: Kate Beckinsale.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Or Mila. Take your pick.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: I know who Mila Jovovich is.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: I had her album.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: She fights zombies that are kind of like werewolves, and
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the other one fights werewolves that are kind of like zombies,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: but they're vampires.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: It's all very complicated.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Werewolves with robot heads.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Now I'm hooked. IMAX that shit right now.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I was looking for memorable short films, and I asked around,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: who has a favorite short film? Because all my favorites
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: don't exist anymore. I'm going to have to email the
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: author of one of these stories and say, Does this
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: thing still exist? I watched it. It's one of my
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: favorite short films. It's not online anywhere. It's not mentioned.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: But Bo, our friend Bo.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Bo's in Boston.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Bo, lover of War Horse.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: He said, oh, here's this movie, Flip, and posted a link.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: And it was fucking fantastic. And the genius thing in
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: it is a gorilla with a robot head. That's just
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: the greatest thing I've ever seen. It's an amazing little film. Yeah.
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: I like when you juxtapose anything gorilla with robot or
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: car that floats on water.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's all of that.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: These are good movies.
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: Eyes with legs and they just walk around. That's all
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: amazing to me.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: All of this.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Put it all in the same movie.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: So that's our first song we're discussing.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: There was two. It's going to be several parts, isn't it?
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Why did you ask me to come on? You should
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: have known this was going to happen.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Did we cover all the versions of this song, or
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: are there more out there?
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: So that's interesting that that's the one they chose. Is
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: that how it works, or is that the one they
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: put up for nomination?
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Well, see, they do that.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Because that's, I mean, a lot of times, and that
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: will come up later on this episode or the next episode.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: They put up the sellout version for the Oscar.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Well, no, they will, I mean. it's their movie.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: So they can rework the songs however they want. And
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of times they will do multiple versions for
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the soundtrack to work in at different times in there.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: But then I don't know who gets to pick what version.
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: See how I would guess that works is they pick
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: the version that was published that has the, uh, like
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: whatever was turned in to have the rights written. They,
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: they just use the original. This is the song. And then,
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: any version that's made of that particular song still falls
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: under the same song.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: But who gets to pick which version is then the officially...
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Because this one, I think, on the Oscar website specifically
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: said Keira Knightley.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's usually Al Pacino has the final say.
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: And he was like, I would like to see that
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: pretty lady with the neck on stage and not that
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: Adam Levine douchebag.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: That's why we love Al Pacino. He makes the right call.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: That's why they always cut to him during the show.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: It's like this is his... His decision.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: My only thing when I listened to this song, I
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: didn't have much of an opinion about it, but I
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: did think Adam Levine's the guy on The Voice, right?
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: That is correct.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: And he was in Maroon 5.
• 43:16
  Speaker 6: Also correct. And sadly, I believe he's still in Maroon 5.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, really?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: This was the first, I don't know much of his story,
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: but this was the first time I ever heard him
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: sing where I thought, I can see why he's on
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: a show like that. Because otherwise I was like, is
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: he on here because he's pretty? Like I'd heard one
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Maroon 5 song.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Whichever one got super popular.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: Have you seen that clip where it's a hidden camera
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: thing but not where they go to weddings and they
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: basically have Maroon 5 crash the weddings where there's like,
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: there's a secret band playing at your wedding and then
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: they pull up a veil and it's Maroon 5 and
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: then the bride and groom freak out. I was like,
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: I would freak out but for very different reasons.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too. What if you were like, I don't care.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: What if you were just angry? I would not feel
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: good about it.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: Way to ruin my wedding day.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: Marilyn Manson going.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Door to door trying to shock people. Comes to your door.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Isn't that kind of what he does?
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: At this point, that's kind of where he's at now.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess you'd have to go like, well, at
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: least it's not you two.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Truth.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: Did Hold Me, Cure Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me get
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: nominated for an Oscar? Not to bring it back to
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Batman again, but... Might have. That's the only U2 song that.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Was actually good. Probably nudged out by A Kiss for
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: a Rose.

• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Hi, this is Emma Caulfield, and you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: All right, The Theory of Everything.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: By Johan Johansson. This would be the first track, Cambridge, 1963.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: It is the most important part of the process. It
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: is the most important part of the process. It is
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: the most important part I also did not know that
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: we only had to listen to a track. I actually endured.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was you.
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: The entirety of this one worked.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: That's why when I sent.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: It, I gave the tracks, but you're free to listen
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: to whatever you want.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I just got a YouTube.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, like you were telling us, that's the one to...
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: I'm so bad at reading directions, apparently. I thought I
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: was good at it.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: Way to accidentally go above and beyond the call of duty.
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: Way to accidentally excel.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, I hate it when I do something I
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: don't get credit for. That's my whole philosophy of life.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Well, then, okay, you've... You've listened to a good amount
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: So aside from Cambridge 1963, what do you think of
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: The Theory of Everything?
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. It was fine.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: This is where I feel like I'm not in a
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: position to weigh in.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Did you find you wanted to take a nap somewhere
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: in the middle of it?
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: I kind of felt that way about all of these.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Most of them.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: And no offense to any of them, but the middle
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: ones here are all kind of As we've said many times, Oscar-y.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: They're very much what I expected, especially in this type
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: of movie.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: So expected.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I even got a very, specifically The Theory of Everything,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really sound like it because I think he's
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: a maybe, I don't know if he's a better composer,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: but he's more original would be the Social Network soundtrack.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Because we even get that time period at Ivy League
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: kind of schools. It's a very similar vibe. And as
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I got into it, I was like, I can kind
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: of hear that without the weird edgy thing that he
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: was throwing in there on that one.
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: Wait, he did that soundtrack as well? Wait, what are
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: you saying?
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: No, I was just comparing it to.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: To me, it sounds like a stripped down version of
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: kind of what the social networker was going for, but without...
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the interesting little weird stuff that Trent Reznor.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Was putting in there.
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, right. That was Trent Reznor.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: To me, this is like the boring version of the
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: social network.
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: Here are the things that I like about it. I
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: like that his name is Johan Johannesson. I like that
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: he's from Reykjavik. I like... No, that's pretty much it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: You just like saying fun words.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: At any point, did listening to this soundtrack make you
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: want to buy an iPhone? Because that was what I
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: wrote in my notes. This makes me want to buy
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: a phone.
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: No, it made me, when I listened to it, it
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: made me sing that Billy Preston song. Come give me
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: your softness.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Comfort me with all.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: It has the exact same, yeah, the clip I heard
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: sounded like that treacly old Billy Preston tune.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Well, now it's disqualified. Way to go.
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: Now we never get to hear anybody say Johan Johansson
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: from the stage.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I don't know what we say about this one.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was my take on it. I was like,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with it. It's very polished. It's very
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: well put together.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: Just by the numbers. I did see this movie.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: I don't remember it standing out.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: See, and that is like, refer to the point you
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: brought up.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Like, it is a fine line whether like, is it
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: doing this job better if you don't notice it as
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: being a background score kind of thing? Or does it,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: is it more impressive because you are walking out of
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the theater humming it? Because I'm guessing you weren't doing
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: that with the theory of everything.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Here's what I think about that. And that's why, you know, like,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: although I hate almost everything we've listened to, almost.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: And in life. I love this guy.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I say that with, you know, I want to
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: preface that. Like, if I saw it with the movie,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: it could really change because, There is a weird, fine line,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: especially if you think of Jaws. I know the first
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: time Spielberg heard the theme for Jaws, he didn't know
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: if it was a joke.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: He didn't know if.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: He was being punked. He was like, really? Are you
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: kidding me? I think I said, no, that's the theme
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: for Jaws. And everybody was aware of that theme, but
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it still worked. It was very effective, and yet everybody, like, uh,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: was super aware of it. It was like, wow. Um,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: theme song can get right in your face and still
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: do its job.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, it, it almost makes most of those scenes,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like without that, if you strip that
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: away and just watch them, they're probably still well shot,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: but are.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: They near as tense?
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: And do they freak people out the same without that
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: weird pulsating?
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: It might've been to them not being able to get
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: the footage they needed. Yeah. and so the theme music
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: sort of carried the scenes where they couldn't get the damn.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Shark I mean that whole first two thirds it's like
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: it's all about POV of the shark and the music
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and that becomes our villain our main character whatever you
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: want to call the shark it's like he that's the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: way we see him up until two thirds of the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: way into the movie so it's yeah it's pretty effective
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: as themes go and you can have like.
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: A really technically like unimpressive theme that works really well
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: for the film like I don't know. Any of those
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: sort of like atonal two note sort of background.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: John Carpenter. Who does it masterfully.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Most years they have like an understated song, like not
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: a musically impressive, but just like a little charming thing.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: They don't really have that this year.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They're all kind of.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: I think her had that ukulele song.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: And it's just like, it's, And even, I remember Reds
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: that had a ukulele song in it that stayed in
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: my head a long time ago.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: You just really like ukuleles.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Could be. Well, and then, you know, like Juno had
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: that goofy song that was not even quite a song.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: It was just, like, silly. We may have played it previously.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: Was it like the intro song, the opening?
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the one with the funny lyrics.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that, yeah. It's pretty catchy, though. Yeah.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: For a non-song, it's pretty catchy.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: They don't have anything like that this year, but a
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: lot of times they will do something that's just odd
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: and accessible in the sense that the characters could play it.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: We have that on the song side, but score is
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: all pretty by the numbers.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but... To speak to that, in terms of, I mean,
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: how many original songs are there? Like, I mean, when
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: you look at this list, it's not an impressive list,
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: which makes me wonder if these are, in fact, the
• 54:45
  Speaker 6: only five original songs written for film this year. I mean, like,
• 54:48
  Speaker 6: when you drag out that Rita Ora song, which I
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: guess we'll get to at some point. I have a
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: special affection for the Lego song.
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: It's not a bad song. It's just I heard it
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: and I was like, it's not really.
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: But when I saw that movie, I mean, everybody was
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: singing that movie out of the theater and then for
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: the next three weeks. And, I mean, that song's got something.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 55:09
  Speaker 6: It's terrible, but it's great.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: To me, it just sounds like Tom.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: Wait, we're not there yet.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: What's the name? Tom.
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: Bless Brian's heart. We're not there yet.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Parks and Rec. Tom Haverford.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: It sounds like he did Coke and made up a song.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: That's kind of what I thought.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of what happened, though.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: But is that worth an Oscar?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: It's like the lonely... Planet guy? The Lonely Island.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: Lonely Island.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Who are on this list eventually.
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: The Lonely Island folks. I don't want to skip ahead,
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: but if you look at the Wikipedia entry of the
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: guy who's credited with writing that song, it's amazing.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: It's adorable.
• 55:43
  Speaker 6: I suggest everybody, unless they've taken it down by that point,
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: because I feel like he probably updates it daily to
• 55:47
  Speaker 6: make sure it stays there. But the personal life, he
• 55:50
  Speaker 6: clearly wrote his own Wikipedia entry. So the personal life
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: is like, 20 paragraphs about like the first time he
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: saw Star Wars and like how he loves the movie
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: Superman and then like the career paragraph is like half
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: a paragraph which is like you know the five things
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: he's done which is mostly writing for Robot Chicken.
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: I don't want to derail this again but you reminded
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: me of the time that my mom decided the family
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: business needed a Wikipedia page so she wrote the Wikipedia
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: page and then gave it to me to read it
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: and it was very Butch and Kim were high school sweethearts,
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: and they loved each other so much.
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what this is.
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: One time, Butch asked Kim out on a date, and
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: I was like, Mom, you can't use any of this.
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: Wikipedia rules. It sounds a little too close to the fire.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: It has to be published stuff.
• 56:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there were no notes.
• 56:39
  Speaker 5: It has to be written by a third party, right?
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: An unbiased third party?
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: I don't get that vibe from it at all. To me,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: that song sounds like presentation music for a pyramid scheme.
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: Everything is awesome.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: We're going to make a lot of money.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: It's fantastic. Everybody get on board and bring your friends in.
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: But that's part of the joke.
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: I think that's why it's so genius, actually.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: It's exactly what it does really well.
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: It's really effective in the movie.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is what it becomes within the movie.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Well, then I sit corrected because that makes all kinds
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: of sense.
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's satire.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it plays both ends. It is like this whole...
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: the way that he thinks is built around teamwork. But
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: there's this underlying, like, socialist message going on, or communist message.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Depending on how deep you want to take these things, that, like,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: there's this weird, understated thing going on that becomes very
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: obvious as the movie goes on. But it's built on, like,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: a very simple premise and simple tune that, like, again.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: is the.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Kind of thing that's so simple it could be spoon-fed
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: to a society.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: And they would eat it up, and they would love it. Oh, okay.
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: It's pretty genius, actually. All right. So.
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: But we're not there yet.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: We're not there yet.
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: Let's forget we had this conversation.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll just do all of this over again when
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: we get there. Yep.
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: What's next, Brian?
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: We'll do another one of these scores that you love
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: so much with Mr.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Turner by Gary Yershon.
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: Thank you.

• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: This one I actually liked. There was enough dissonance to
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: keep me motivated to continue to see where the resolve was.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 5: Because it was like, oh, a sour thing just happened. Oh,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: a sour thing just happened. Okay, now it's kind of
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: pretty again. It made me.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Interested to see what the story would be.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 6: This is the one I hated the most.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it feels like it's doing something different, but very
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: purposefully different in that opening track there. It seems like
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: he's almost oddly bending the notes and going out of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: his way to make it a little weird. But I
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: feel like as you get further into the score, it
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: does get a little more traditional of that period piece.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Kind of, let's make a movie about an artist, which
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Fred loves.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 6: This is the one movie I ate that I had
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: not seen that was nominated for score.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: You've seen all of the rest of the movies?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: I have.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: For score.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: What are you saying? Because I tend to hate movies
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: about artists.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: Well, that's just of the many things you hate in
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: the universe. I know you're not a fan of art.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: Biopic kind of nonsense.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: Not usually.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I did like, what was the one? Oh, I can't
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: think of her name now. It's going to kill me.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Throw me a lifeline.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: What are we talking about right now?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: The one where, who's the one French actor who by law,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Gerard Depardieu has to be in every French movie, or
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: he did for a while. He played Rodin in the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: movie about the sculptor.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 4: Rodin versus Godzilla.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: He played Rodin. She was his student, mistress, and an
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: artist in her own right.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 6: Sounds like a very original film.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was a great movie. It was like the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: best artist biopic I've ever seen.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: I thought the movie about Harvey, what's his name, that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: was friends with Robert Crump, Harvey P.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: Carr.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: That's a good movie.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: I thought that was a good movie about an artist.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: Arguably an artist.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Camille Claudel.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: I just looked it up. Camille Claudel.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: Excellent work.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And part of it was shot in.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: The Grand Palais, where at one time I had some
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: work hanging in the Young Painters Show.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 6: Is that a fact?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: That's a fact.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a moment where you can go up over
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: her shoulder, up there, right up there. That was where
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: my stuff was.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gracious. Where is that piece now?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: It's in my attic.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: Why is it in your attic? Until your biopic comes out,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: that's where.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: It will be.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: It was a direction I decided was like I couldn't
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: live going in that direction. I couldn't do it. But
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: it was cool for a while. And Joe Downing was
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: there when I was there. Told me I had the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: best piece in the show. He was so sweet.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: To continue answering follow-up questions, American Splendor is the movie
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: about Harvey Pekar, which is actually very good.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: And from a while ago.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: That was good. I don't... I have to.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 5: Different kind of artist.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't include that. As, yeah, I should have.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: But it's not really, the art you're talking about is
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 5: not Harvey Pekar art.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: No, it's not even that.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: It's true. For a long time, Camille Claudel was the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: only one, and I got in the habit of saying that,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: and then I saw another one, and I never updated.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: You need to update your files.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: I just say things that I say.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: It's a new update. You have to reboot yourself. And
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: Birdman is the scores performed by Antonio Sanchez. From a
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: while ago, when you asked.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 6: Thank you. For the person that has been screaming at
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: their computer for the last hour and a half.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: Like, I get no respect, damn you.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: So since we already brought it up, let's just round
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: this one out with Everything is Awesome. Music and lyric
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: by Sean Patterson, who has an adorable website.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: It is precious.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 6: Go there while it's still up.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: It was on Wikipedia.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: I think he has his own page, too, that probably
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: is relatively close to that. Because it had a whole
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: lot of his crazy TV credits. Didn't he win an
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Emmy along the way for Robot Chicken?
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: I feel like he does a lot of journaling.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: He does a lot of crazy.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 6: He actually has.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: His own Wikipedia. It's just his Wikipedia. He has entries
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: on everything in the world that he wrote.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: But see, this is one of those that.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Fell into that same category, wherein within that movie, there
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: are multiple versions. They're specifically the one that's played in there,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: which is what I'm going to play, because I feel
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: like that's the one that is referenced within the movie,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: that is within context of what's going on, the one
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: that the characters hear. Now, Tegan and Sarah do the
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: single version that then plays during the credits, and I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: couldn't find what they've linked specifically to the nomination, what
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: they're going to go with, Are they going to drag
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: them out on stage and have them perform because they're
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: more of a name, which may be the case. But
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: to me, it's like the one in the movie feels
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: like the one that should be used. And sometimes they
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: play that game of like, who do we want to
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: get to come? Because the last year, the freaking Frozen,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: which everybody loved that song.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: You know, I still have never heard that song.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 6: I'm not even sure that's possible.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: It was performed by.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 6: If you have left your house in the last year
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 6: and a half... Yeah. I don't know if that's possible.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Or even like if you're just sleeping at home with
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: your head on a pillow, somebody would break in and
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: sing it into your ear.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: They talk about it at work all the time because
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 5: Frozen was a favorite movie among my coworkers.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: I got to admit, I don't hate the movie. I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: think it's pretty good.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I also saw it with a five-year-old girl, so I
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: watched her enjoy it, which sort of raises the bar
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 5: It sounds like it would be a great movie. I've
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: just never heard the song. That I know of.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: It's performed by Kwame O'Claudel. All right. Or whatever the
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: hell Jean Travolta said. It's performed by Adit Aziz. Adit Aziz.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: And it plays during the cathedral scene in Batman.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: But that was the thing. She does it within the movie.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: She's the big Broadway star, so that's who they go with.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: But within that same soundtrack, Demi Lovato covers it, too. Truthfully,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I like her version better, so take that, Kwame O'Claudel.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: Hashtag fuck those guys.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Whoever that is so i'm like why why do they
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: get to pick never heard it because.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: They wanted to get her because.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: They wanted to get her to come to the oscars
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: so they pick that version like i don't know i
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: was like who decides which version within the soundtrack gets
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: nominated it's very.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 6: Patino yeah i think it's going to be tegan and
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 6: sarah and like animated lego like lego dancers.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: And lonely island Yes. I think they're going to want
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: to get Lonely Island there.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: What they need to do is they need to get dancers.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: They need to put a Lego backdrop and have dancers
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 5: with things that attach to them so they can build
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: onto themselves a statue in the background.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Is it too late to get you working on the Oscars?
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: We need to get you in touch with the producers
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 5: It's not too late for them, but it's too late
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: for me personally.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: In general.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: Hashtag fuck those guys.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: I agree. It is too late for you, but it's
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: not too late for this episode.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: So, obviously, we've just gone halfway into this deal, so
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: I say we wrap this one up. We come back
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: next week and we talk about the rest of the songs. Okay.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: to be continued to be continued and until then just
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: keep humming to yourself everything is awesome because once you
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: hear this you cannot have it in your head for
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: the next I don't know rest of your life there's
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: no escaping everything is awesome another reason I think it's
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: kind of genius and it works because it It works
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: in a weird earworm way that seems like it would
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: actually just burrow itself into your brain like.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: A good, you know, jingle would do.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: And, you know, again, kind of why that song works
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: so well within the context of the movie.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: Can I ask your listeners for a request before the
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: next episode?
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: You can. They usually don't care.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 5: Somebody please make me a mix CD or MP3 thumb
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: drive thing and put songs that are all everything themed. Like,
• 1:09:47

• 1:09:50
  Speaker 5: Ray Stevens? Everything is beautiful. That song?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: In its own way.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: Anything that has everything in it.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: R-E-M, the everything.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 10: R-E-M.
• 1:10:00

• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's another movie called Theory of Everything.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: Nobody can hear you anyway, so it doesn't matter.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: There is another movie called The Theory of Everything. 2006,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: Are you getting money off this? Are you in fact
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: an executive producer?
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: No, it sounds like it sounds just like depressing and
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Or it's like a guy is trying to work out
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: the theory. It's like, I think, a Christian-themed movie where
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: a guy's trying to work out the theory of everything,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: and he thinks it'll prove God, the existence of God,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: but then he has Alzheimer's, and he knew he was
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: looking for something.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: It's like memento meets pie.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: But he's not sure what it was. I mean, it
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: may be a very touching movie. I haven't seen it.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just mocking it.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: Like you do.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just sight unseen.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 4: That's how we roll.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: Memento meets pie.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: I wanted to mock it like 20 feet away from
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: the microphone so I could just be a voice in
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: the wilderness, but no, you brought me back. Every time
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: I think I'm out, you bring me back.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: Everything is awesome.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Al Pacino.
