  Speaker 8: And we're coming to you live, video to recording, from
• 1:24
  Speaker 8: directly in front of the Kentucky Theater.
• 1:26
  Speaker 9: The mean streets of Lexington, Kentucky.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now. The marquee says, Harry.
• 1:32
  Speaker 8: Dean Stanton Fest. Yes. We are once again bringing you
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: our coverage of the Harry Dean Stanton Fest.
• 1:38
  Speaker 9: This is my third, well actually my third consecutively. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 9: did come to one a long time ago when they
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: showed Repo Man at the Green Lantern. That's before I
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: really knew Lucy or anything, so I just kind of
• 1:48
  Speaker 9: drove up. I was living in Elizabethtown at the time,
• 1:51
  Speaker 9: so it wasn't much of a drive.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: I think I... Well, no, I would say I've been
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: here every year. I've come every year. One year I
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: didn't make it here. Oh, yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: One, this is.
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: I had not the best luck heading to this specific
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: town for some reason.
• 2:07
  Speaker 9: The curse.
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: Let's see.
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: One.
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: Maybe three years back, I headed up here for the
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: big closing night ceremonies and got about halfway here and
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: the car died.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: You told me about that.
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: When I said died, like, I don't have that car anymore. Like,
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: it never went back to my home.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: Dang.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Actually, I was close enough to Lexington. I had it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: towed here. And then I found someone to.
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: Like, take it off my hands and shunk it. Too
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: bad you couldn't get an.
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: Alien to put in the trunk to hover.
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if I could open the trunk and just would
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: have disappeared, I wouldn't have to worry about that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, I don't know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: I thought that was rough. And then.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I believe it was last year on the way home,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: my tire went out.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: Again, about, not when I was most of the way,
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: so I was about 20 minutes from home, just far
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: enough to not be able to do anything.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: So, yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I also didn't, well, the jack I had was
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: bent and messed up.
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: Oh, that sucks.
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: And by the time we were done here, and then
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: they did some sort of party out, it was like
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: two in the morning. It was too late to be
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: calling random people. The jack was bent. I was at
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: a gas station.
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: So you just started walking.
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so the fact that I keep coming here tells
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: you how awesome Harry Dean Stanton Festival is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: Yes, it's my favorite yearly film festival, for sure.
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: It's a fight sometimes to make it happen, but I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: committed and I do what I can every year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: Bless you, sir.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You as well.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: You drive further than I do.
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm about three hours out. I live in Owensboro, Kentucky.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: where I work at the public library. And Lucy came
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: down for one of my film things, which I was
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: honored by that because, you know, she's quite the community servant.
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: I love what she does every year. I know she
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: probably gets embarrassed because every time I'm on, she's like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 9: oh man, Lucy Jones is like the coolest person on earth.
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: But it's true. She's great. And I really love what
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: she does.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Well, see, I think, I assume everyone knows her.
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: So when I meet people that like oh, I lived
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: in Lexington, or I moved here, or, like, whatever. If
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: there's any connection to the city, I'm like, oh, well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: I'm assuming you know Lucy, right?
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: Did I ever tell you how I know her? Like,
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: I just, I started listening to the movie Belt and Out,
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: and I was like, oh, I'm going to start adding
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: some of these people. They seem cool. So I added you,
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: I added her. That show. And, like, I can't remember.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: I may have not added Marlena until afterwards. So, yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: definitely you and Lucy, though.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Lord knows what Marlena is going to put on her page.
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah. She's funny.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: Odd pictures of weird puppies and road trips.
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: But Lucy, I'm sure, has a very professional, upstanding feed.
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: It is true.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So, it's been a while. Perhaps the last earnings that invest.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: How's it been for you?
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: Great.
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, this was the only day I was able to
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: come up for. I was able to see Cisco Pike
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: for the first time, which I loved. It was really good.
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: And man, I didn't realize Chris Christopherson was so sexy
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: when he was young.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: He's, yeah, he's a studly young man.
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: Those hair flips and everything.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: Devil May Care Oz.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, there's a reason he was a rock star
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: and an actor. Right, right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He could cover both ends of Look.
• 5:24
  Speaker 9: How Hot I Am. Yeah, and partly fiction. I didn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: realize that came from a song. Yeah. So that's pretty cool,
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: the documentary title. But yeah, the reason I only came
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: up once this time was because I'm about to get married,
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: which that's new.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that was not going on last time I talked
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: to you.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: This is a whole new big thing I just heard
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: about today.
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so our wedding, our actual wedding is going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: happen in Hawaii on a beach, and the service will
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: be performed by an 18-year-old girl who was ordained online.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: That's her younger sister. We're all three going down there
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: in September. At the end of this month, though, we're
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: going to do like a small thing in Owensboro for
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: a couple people basically so yeah getting married.
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: I'm assuming you want attack of the killer soundtrack to
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: dj your your after wedding fest too.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So feel free to fly me on over there.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Well we'll send out a private jet for you for
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: sure yeah i will gladly play nothing but weird movie
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: songs for the rest of your dancing activities.
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: Sounds good i don't know how taylor feel about that
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: but maybe i can sweet talk her into it but
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: uh yeah so it's been great you know we've uh
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: we've got a long history which i won't waste time
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: describing on here but yeah it's great she's a wonderful
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: person and she puts up with me you know i'm
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: not only am i getting married i'm also moving into
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: an actual house instead of an apartment.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's a big adjustment.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: Those are two things i didn't ever think would happen
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: even though i am 40 so my mom bless her
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: soul she's incredibly morbid person like her reaction when i
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: told her what was happening was i always hoped you'd
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: find someone before i die my mom's not dying or
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: anything so Thanks, Mom.
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: She just had almost given up hope, like my parents,
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: so it's fine.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I had two, really. It's fine. But yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: that's the biggest development in the past year, I guess.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: I mean, I guess that's equally as impressive as a
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: movie you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: Watched or whatever. Well, yeah, I mean, I have been
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: doing plenty of that. We were just talking as we
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: walked over to record about the new Spider-Man movie, which
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: I did watch and I enjoyed immensely.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: If you go.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: Back an episode or two, you can hear my ramblings
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: about it. Again, I think I liked it more than
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: most of our crew on the episode, but you said
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: you were okay with it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and again, I think I like it better than
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: the first one. I love Mysterio as a villain, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: those dream sequences are really cool. I'm sorry, that's probably
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: a spoiler, isn't it? Well, that's what I was just
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: about to ask you. Were you duped by Mysterio? Well,
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: you know, I mean, I know the Spider-Man comics. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: know his backstory, which is, you know, they really improved
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: that for the movie, but at first, like, man, I
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: really like the interplay between him and Peter. I think
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: this is cool, and I almost wish he would stay
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: a good guy.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they were buddies, but it was one of those, like,
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: as we said, it was like, I'm kind of, like,
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: even if I didn't already know, because if you know
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: anything about the comic, like, That's when I was like, wait,
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: he's a bad guy.
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: What are we doing?
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: So even if I didn't know that, I would feel
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: like it was almost going too well.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: I'm just like, I kind of call bullshit. This guy
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: is too nice a guy. Like something's up.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: And I love the way like they plugged him into
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: the Iron Man story. That was cool.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I thought.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I really loved it. I thought it was excellent.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: And the Peter Tingle joke was great. That was one
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: of my favorite parts.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, may please stop saying Peter Tingle.
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: Right. And I did see I took a detour from
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: the Harry Dean Stanton Fest and went down to the
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: Kentucky to see the Laurel Canyon documentary from Jacob Dillon.
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: And I think the guys like the president of Capitol
• 8:38
  Speaker 9: made it. It almost played like a commercial for the
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: album they did. They did some sort of anniversary show
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: for the birds and they played a lot of songs.
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: And he had a kind of an all star cast.
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: Beck was involved, Nora Jones and Gina Spector and a
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: few other people. It was really good. I love that sound.
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: And I didn't know a lot about those bands. I
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: feel like it could have went a little deeper. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: was kind of like, you know, just surface level stuff.
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: But it's cool. And it's always great to see Brian Wilson,
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: like new footage of Brian Wilson. They all play together.
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: Was he okay? Yeah, I mean, he was, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 9: he was a little rattled, I guess. But, I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: he plays well. I mean, he still plays beautifully. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: love the Beach Boys. Pet Sounds is one of my
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: favorite albums. And, like, he really kind of, he jumped
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: in there. He was correcting them on the key that
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: they were playing the song. It was kind of funny
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: to see them go back and forth. I like Jacob Dillon.
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: And funny enough, there's a Hayden Stanton connection to that documentary.
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: He's interviewing Tom Petty, Jacob Dillon. This is one of
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: the last things Tom Petty recorded before he passed away.
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: And for those parts and the driving scenes, Jacob Dillon
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: has on a Hayden Stanton shirt.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Like musical or just from.
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: It looked like just a film still. I couldn't tell.
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: It may have been Paris, Texas. I couldn't tell exactly
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: where the film still.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: Because that's why I'm like, I don't think he ever
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: toured enough to even have a shirt. He just played
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: probably when he was drinking, got up in the bar
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: and started.
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: Now, going back to Cisco Pike, was that song one
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: that they had recorded together Was it a Chris Christopherson song?
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: Or did they just make it for the movie? I
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: wasn't sure where that came from.
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: I think it is a Chris Christopherson song originally. Maybe
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: they just did. Yeah, I don't.
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they played off each other. Well, I wanted them
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: to do like a whole album or something.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: That was neat.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: They definitely both have that vibe.
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: It's a sound and a time period that was going
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: on that sort of worked. It was a weird crossover.
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: That's the thing. As I've said many times, I'm not
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: a huge country fan, but old school stuff I was
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: good with.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Chris Christopherson was right at that cutoff.
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: I love old school country.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Old school was badass.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Christopherson's stuff was really great.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: He's right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: In that, you know, perfect spot where it was still
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: kind of cool.
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: One reason I knew that my last girlfriend and I
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: weren't going to work out, one son, was that she
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: tried to get me to listen to Dierks Bentley. She
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: was like, you know, he's kind of like more traditional country.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: I was like, no, he's not. Get out of my life.
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: There are a few that squeak through in the modern
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: era that I'm like, you know, you don't fit everything else.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And I don't. I have a problem with it, but
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's rare.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: Some of the alternative country, like Golden Smog, I like
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: Sunvolt a lot. Those guys are great. But yeah, the
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: popular country, not so much.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: But. What have you seen? I know you said you
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: weren't able to watch much lately.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Not much lately. I'm trying to think before.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Actually, I've got the running list here.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: Oh, I saw Crawl while you're looking. I saw Crawl
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: and Child's Play. Taylor and I went to the drive-in.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: I really was excited by the trailer for Crawl.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Does it live up to that?
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: No, it does not.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, see, that's the only response I heard online. It
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: was terrible. We both hated it. The last 15, 20
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: minutes were exciting, but it's an hour and 27-minute movie
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: about two people stuck in a hurricane trying to get
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: out of a house while being attacked by alligators, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: somehow it manages to be really boring.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: See, yeah, that premise is like genius.
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the last 15-20 minutes are great, and it's almost
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: like two characters the whole time, which some movies can
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: get away with that, and this one not so much.
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: Child's Play was fun, though. I mean, it was stupid,
• 12:01
  Speaker 9: but it was a good kind of stupid. I did
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: not like all the changes that they made, but overall
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: it was pretty fun.
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: Almost.
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: It kind of had a Stranger Things vibe occasionally with
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: the kids kind of banding together, I thought.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I do. I'm like, it is at least interesting
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: if they were going to do it because I thought
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: it was weird that they were doing another. There's so
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: many sequels that they're trying to do. Right, they're making
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: a TV show, right?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Kind of a reboot and a TV show.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the original guy, I think, wasn't fond of the reboot.
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: No, I don't think anybody involved was a big fan
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: of it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: But we watched the original Child's Play last night, which
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: I think when I originally watched that, I was a
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: terrified child and didn't finish it. I was scared of
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: Ghostbusters as a kid. But yeah, it was fun. I
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: didn't realize that movie took place in Chicago. But yeah,
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: we met Brad Dourif. Was that last year, Brad Dourif?
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: I think so. No, it was the year before. So
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: it was fun seeing him up there. I didn't remember
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: that it was like a satanic sort of chant that
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: put his soul into Chucky, which is much more clever
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: than a rogue AI, which is what the new one is.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. That's the thing.
• 13:01
  Speaker 8: I was like, at least when they redid it, they
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: went a different way. That's what I hate is when
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: they almost beat for beat redo the same thing.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: At least come up with a different take on it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: So this is.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: More of the, you know, Skynet.
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: Skynet, like that app.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, computers are all going to take over our lives.
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: The company that makes Chucky and used to make drones
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: and military stuff.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at least that's different.
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: The doll looks horrible, I will say. I don't know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: it looks like The original Chucky got plastic surgery, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: cheek implants and stuff.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: The pictures I saw, that was kind of what I.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: I was like, oh, that's different. Did you discover anything
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: on your list there?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I did look.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I knew I had to go back a couple weeks,
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: because the only thing I've watched lately are the ones
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: we've done episodes about.
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But the only other one I did... I had a rewatch,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: because I really had been wanting to see it, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: then I.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: As.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: As I will be discussing in the upcoming future, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: went to the public library, which is a good place
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: to pick up movies to watch. I don't know if
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: you're familiar with the library system.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: I am familiar. And we do get the latest video games,
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: latest movies.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: We get a little bit of everything.
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: But you should still support your local video store if
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: you've got one nearby.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: If you have one. Oh, my don't.
• 14:12
  Speaker 9: Rest in peace.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: Rest in peace.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: If you're in the Lunsbury area, check out Star Trek's video.
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: They sell the finest VHSs and DVDs, and they get
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: new stuff.
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: They get old stuff.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: It's great.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Next time I'm up there, I do want to go
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and just go there and touch movies.
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: It's wonderful.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: All the VHSs are like a dollar or two. They'll
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: be like, sir, please stop touching the movies.
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: I bought the original Star Wars trilogy there. It was
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: the original cut.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The real version.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: Box set for like $ 10. Nice. So yeah, his prices
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: are amazing. Sorry.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, just plugs for the library and video stores everywhere.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: But no, the one that I was just wandering around
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: trying to decide if I was even going to get something,
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: and I was like, man, I really want to re-watch
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: Baby Driver.
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: Baby Driver is so good.
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: And I liked it the first time I saw it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: I think I saw it in the theater when it
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: came out, but I haven't watched it since then. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: I was like, I knew I enjoyed it, but I
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: was like, I don't know. Again, Edgar Wright's stuff is like,
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: Some of them are so good. I was trying to
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: kind of put it in context and decide if I
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: thought it was up there with a lot of his
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: other stuff.
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: Hot Fuzz is my favorite.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the thing.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I just kind of was like, yeah, it's pretty close.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's up there.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: And then watching it this time, it's amazing how much time.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And effort he puts into everything.
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Not only, again, being soundtrack dork that I am, the
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: soundtrack is amazing. Absolutely. But on top of that, How
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: woven together all of the dialogue is so that everything,
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: like every little snippet that he catches on TV, he
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: uses later. Every, like, again, a line from a song
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: that will pop up. Well, again, the walk home or
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: the walk back with the coffee, like all of the
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: weird like visuals that he puts in that are timed
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: out with the song.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Like, it's so well choreographed.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's a tight filmmaker.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just, I was so much more impressed,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I think, this time.
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: I think maybe I didn't know what to expect the
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: first time, and I just went in and was kind
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: of overwhelmed by some of the cool action scenes and
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: how well that was choreographed.
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: He's so good at action. Like, even Hot Fuzz, you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: is a comedy, but, I mean, it served as a,
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: you know, a 90s action film.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: It essentially is, yeah. A badass cop drama that also
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: happens to be a comedy.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: It works as both, kind of.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: And if I recall correctly about Baby Driver, like, I
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: know he had that idea for a while and he
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: made a music video out of that idea. And I
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: think the music video is actually playing on the TV
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: in one of the scenes.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But yeah, even the.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: Like, I do remember the first time thinking how much
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: it was almost a musical.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Not....
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: You know, singing and dancing music, but the fact that
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: maybe more music video, because it is like when the
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: gunshots are timed with the music playing and like, it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: so orchestrated, like it is a big musical that every
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: action scene is like a musical number that just happens
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: to have a lot of gunfire and cars screeching.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And like, I, it's so well choreographed.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: I love him.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: And like in interviews and stuff, you can tell he's like,
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: you know, one of the filmmakers that actually is in
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: love with making film.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: He's, Yeah, he is such a movie geek that also
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: got to direct movies. Yeah, I think that's amazing. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: those are the kind of people I respond to and
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: I want to seek out more stuff that they do.
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: As much as I liked Ant-Man, man, if he had
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: made that movie, it would have been so much better.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: You can still feel like those scenes, which I know they,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: they claim other, you know, that, that other people were
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: involved in that. And it wasn't a hundred percent, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: I'm like, those are the times. And I'm like, yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: you can see where I was involved in this.
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: And Guzman's character, you know, that's, that's Edgar Wright.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Definitely. So yeah, it's the Ant-Man. It's fine, but it's, yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: I think it would have been so much better had
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: he got the finish, his vision of it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: Still got that Paul Rudd magic though. So that's one
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: of my favorite Marvel movies. Yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: It's not my favorite, but I can't hate on it
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: because it's Paul Rudd. There's so many fun moments in it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: I still don't love the story, especially the first one.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: I think the second one is actually probably more impressive
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: as a story.
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: I feel like it was the first really funny Marvel movie.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: It is genuinely funny. It's got some really good stuff
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: in it. But speaking of directors who are hardcore movie
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: geeks and film historians and somebody who's kind of one
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: of us that Grew up and got to make movies.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: This week, we're going to talk with Alex Cox.
• 18:25

• 19:56
  Speaker 10: Out of the blue, no explanation. No point in looking

  Speaker 3: When centaurs walked the earth and took the women of
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: their choosing, when men lived in the ribald revelry of paganism,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: when myth and reality were almost one, then did Goliath
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: descend into the depths of the lost worlds to meet
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: his greatest challenge.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Goliath, the dream of desire of every woman in the land.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: The talented and sought after dancing's wisdom.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Who are you?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Only to find herself enslaved by a passion beyond her control.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: No man could match the king's cleverness or cruelties. No
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: man could match Goliath's might or Goliath's warmth. But when
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: his younger brother falls madly in love, the boy becomes
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: easy prey for the monstrous king, whose greatest pleasure is
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: inventing new ways to murder the unprotected and the innocent.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: And bait a trap to bring Goliath to him. Deep
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: in the Earth's dungeons, Goliath meets the fire-breathing, man-eating, three-headed.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Dog of darkness. Then, with the might of a.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Thousand men, Goliath brings down the wrath of the heavens
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: on his enemies.

  Speaker 8: So now let's focus on director Alex Cox. So I
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: usually try to start, you know, early on and see
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: how everybody's like influences led them into their career. So
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: when you were a kid, how early on were these
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: like interests already setting? Were you a big movie fan,
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: like even that far back?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: The first movie that I can remember seeing, my father
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: took me to, and I can still remember it because
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: there was a dinosaur in it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 26:44
  Speaker 13: That's always a good start.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: It was called Goliath and the Dragon, and I think
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it was the last piece of work that Willis O'Brien did.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It was not a very good dinosaur. It was like
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: a Brontosaurus in a cave.
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: They were probably cutting the budgets by then.
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: It was one of those Italian gladiator movies, but it
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: had a dinosaur, so that.
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: Stuck with me that's that's enough for my kids and then.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: One afternoon in england when i was a kid we
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: didn't used to have in those days long ago this
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: would have been the 1950s very early 60s they didn't
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: have television all day long and the only television came
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: on around about four o'clock and.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: Went off at 11 i still remember it going off
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: and the beeping and the national anthem here and like
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: yeah all the weird stuff they used to.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Do and the um One afternoon, I turned on the
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: television for unknown reasons, because there wasn't any television at home.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: But I turned it on and found the end of
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Throne of Blood.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: In Japanese, with Toshiro Mifune being chased around this mansion
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: by arrows, pincushioned with arrows, and then dying in slow
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: motion in the dust. And I had no idea what
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that was. That came out of nowhere. Why were they
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: playing Throne of Blood at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: on BBC?
• 28:05
  Speaker 13: They'd probably never seen anything like that.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It was just a test, and maybe it was for
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: some education. But anyway, so that was it. So those
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: are my two introductions to film, was the dinosaur and that,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: and the climax of Throne of Blood. And then, of course,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I went to, you know, when I was a little kid,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: But it was still in the cartoon cinema, so I
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: saw quite a lot of Popeye as well. Popeye was
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: pretty big.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: Those are strange re-watching them now. When I catch those,
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of weird undercurrents going on.
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: I'm like, I'm not even sure what they're doing.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: He's always muttering weird stuff to himself. It's very strange.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: But yeah, that all kind of sets in. I guess
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: at what point did you start seeking out different films?
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: From that point on, were you already looking for stuff
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: that was sort of Not the norm, maybe. I mean,
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: we all kind of find our weird little sub-genres and everything.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, as soon as I could, as soon as I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: could pass for 16, I started going to see like
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: adult films, you know, because I was hoping to see
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: naked girls. Of course.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: That's how all kids get started, I'm pretty sure.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But instead, I found myself like going to see like Dr.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Terror's House of Horrors and Dementia 13 and Italian, endless
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Italian westerns. And even occasionally, weirdly enough, sometimes a quality
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: foreign film would somehow get distribution in England.
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: Accidentally.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Melville's The Samurai with Alain Delon, dubbed in English in
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: our local cinema. That's weird. I don't know how that
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: managed to sneak through. but yeah so that was it
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: really so it was sort of gradual you know immersion
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: in And I really, I loved films. I thought they
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: were just marvelous. It was the most fun I could
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: imagine was like watching a film or going to a
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: film or being part of a film somehow. But I
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: never expected I would.
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Some people
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: get started really early. By the time like looking into like.
• 30:06
  Speaker 13: Law undergrad?
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Like, it seems like that was pretty far into your
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: run before it really took off for you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it was really, in those days, we were supposed
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to be scientists. You know, the idea was we were
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: going to, like, you know, to have a proper job,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: you should be a scientist.
• 30:20
  Speaker 13: I'm sure my parents still would like that for me.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 30:22
  Speaker 13: It's not going to happen.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: My father was an engineer, you know, but I didn't
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: really have any... a great deal of ability in that area.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And so the fall back then was, oh, you'd be
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: a lawyer, you know? So I got, luckily I got
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: to go to, it's all changed now, but in those days,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: the sort of the university system was partially existed to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: kind of generally educate you. It didn't cost anything. You
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: went for free, of course, in those days. So I
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: kind of neglected my law studies almost completely from the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: get-go and started doing plays, doing a whole bunch of
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: undergraduate drama, you know, as an actor and as a
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: director and a production designer. And so I filled up
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: those three years pretty solidly with amateur dramatics. And then...
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: One of the academics there, who was not a law professor,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: but a modern language professor, said, you know, you should
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: try and go to film school because there's one in Bristol.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: It's a year-long course. And you can see if you
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: like it. And I was lucky enough. I got into that.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: There were then only two film schools in Britain. One
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: in Bristol and one in London. I didn't want to
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: go to London. I didn't like London. So I went
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: to one in Bristol. That got me started. And then
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I got a Fulbright to go to UCLA. And while
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I was at UCLA, I saw Cisco Pike with Harry
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Dean Stanton.
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: That we were just right, and you just left the
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: screening here at Harry Dean Stanton Fest. But yeah, that's
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: one of those, as you were there and still in Bristol,
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: was it something that you specifically knew you needed to
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: end up in? In America or specifically L.A. or was
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: it something that just kind of happened?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't have gone to the States at all
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: if I hadn't gotten Fulbright. I wouldn't have been able
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to afford to go. So it was just luck. And, yeah,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't. And, of course, Los Angeles isn't the ideal
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: place to be anyway. I mean, it's not the nicest
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: of cities, but it was cheap in those days. You
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: could live there expensively. Yeah, I don't think that's the case.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I lived just down the street from Cisco Pike. My
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: rent was $ 150 a month, you know, half a block
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: from the beach. You know, it's like a single room apartment. But, man,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: it was a Liverpool. It was Liverpool.
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: Basically, yeah, that's impressive. And I could pay for my.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And after the fall break, right after the fall break,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I went back for nine months after the fall break,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I could pay for my education with a work-study job
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: in the archive at UCLA. So, I mean.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It was such a great time. People say the 70s
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: weren't good.
• 32:56
  Speaker 13: Don't believe them.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: The 70s was the best.
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: I think it depends on what you're doing at that time.
• 33:01
  Speaker 13: Any moment can be good.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, no, it probably was a good time to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: be in prison, too, because there was still the idea
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: in the 70s that you would rehabilitate people and just
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: punish them.
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: We've lost that now.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: But, yeah, I mean, looking at it, you know, then
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: at that point are you kind of, Because you start
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: picking up, I guess, like crew jobs and moving into
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: that territory. Did you already have it set that like
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: directing is where you wanted to go eventually?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I was never really a crew person because I don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: really have any talents. So the only thing I could
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: do is be a writer or a director or producer.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: But I don't have any actual talents.
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: The arts is funny.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: You know, you find the things that you're good at
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: that usually don't.
• 33:42
  Speaker 13: Apply anywhere else in life.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: And there were people who were obviously going to be cinematographers,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously going to be designers, or obviously going
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: to be actors, you know, because that was their calling,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: their vocation.
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: Again, I think it's equally as interesting finding people that
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: find their way to it, that, you know, that maybe
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: it takes them a little longer. Some kids, you know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: grade school, they're already in plays. They're already like, this
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: is what I want to do with my life. But yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: I think it's equally as interesting.
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: It's a little.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Early to be, you know.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: Finding your way to your place that you need to be.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: So then I guess, again, you've mentioned writing. Were you already,
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: because it's not too far off by the time you
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: get to writing Repo Man. So were you, I guess,
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: starting like early on with screenplays or did you just
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: kind of jump in and end up with something new?
• 34:31
  Speaker 13: Amazing, like Repo Man.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I started writing screenplays as soon as I
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: got to UCLA because it was a, you have to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: take various classes, you know, and obviously screenwriting, if you
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: like writing, isn't a hard class. although some of the
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: students made it difficult for themselves. I mean, screenwriting is
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: just like the best class. Because even if you're going
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to write a feature screenplay, a lot of the students
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: didn't write features. But when I taught film, I would
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: always encourage them to write a feature. Because, come on,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: it's only 90 pages. You've got like 8 or 10
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: weeks to do it in. You can write a feature.
• 35:06
  Speaker 13: I think some people, it just doesn't click.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Like they just.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know where it comes from. Where, you know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: people that are just writers, it's ingrained in them and.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: It just comes out. And the screenplay is a specific
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: form because the screenplay is not a novel. It's not
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: a short story. It's not a poem. It's something else.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: It's not a work of nonfiction. It's a very specific
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: type of fiction.
• 35:27
  Speaker 13: Of its own thing.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 13: Only existing in film.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 13: Only existing in television.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Well, then.
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: Again, I guess jumping to Repo Man, that is such
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: an original concept, and then there's some very crazy things
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: that get worked in. But I was thinking back, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: was like, there's some very strange movies in every decade.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: But at that point, there's a lot of stuff that
• 35:51
  Speaker 8: starts changing in the 80s that all of the movies
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: that come out at that time started to sort of shift.
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: But I guess what was it for you that sort
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: of made that kind of gel into what became the
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: story that you were telling?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I was really interested in doing a
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: film about nuclear war.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get a... No one was going to make
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a movie about nuclear war, so I couldn't do that. So.
• 36:11
  Speaker 13: What everyone was kind of worried about at that point anyway.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then, you know, I had
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: a friend who was a repo man, and I would
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: drive around with him and learn about that. And that
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: was a good story, too. So I thought, maybe you
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: can combine nuclear... repo thing, you know. But the problem
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: was then to get a movie on, it seemed like
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: every movie had to have a high school kid as
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: the protagonist to get made, you know. And so, okay, well,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: we'll have a bunch of high school kids in it too,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: you know. And, you know, and what do they do? Well,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: they go and see punk shows, of course, because that's
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: what I did.
• 36:47
  Speaker 12: So that was it.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: It was a kind of a melange of all of
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: those things. And really also a melange of Los Angeles,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: of what I'd learned about Los Angeles, not realizing... But
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: that was kind of unique to that city, you know.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Because that was the only American city I lived in.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: That is what I was going to ask. The music
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: aspect is definitely very important, specifically that. But again, it
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: is one of those things that's just, you start looking
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: at movies coming out at that point and it starts
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: like creeping into all these different, even things that aren't
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: like punk themed movies.
• 37:15
  Speaker 13: It kind of works its way into all these movies
• 37:17
  Speaker 13: at that time. So you were just like a band?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: And the center of it was L.A. It really was.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: It wasn't New York because I saw some of those
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: New York bands like television and stuff and they were boring.
• 37:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Whereas the scene in L.A. was really vital and interesting.
• 37:32
  Speaker 13: That was X at their peak. Yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: An X who aren't in it.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Interestingly. Partially because they're so vocally rich.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: That you can't just kind of stick a bit of
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: soundtrack music oh no you have to listen to the
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: words as well yeah because they're so rich and so
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: there's no X song in Repo Man but X kind
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: of were like the the deity that over the LA
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: punk scene so you didn't really need X but literally
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I mean Iggy had moved to LA from New York
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: because he thought there's something really interesting going on here
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: and why I'm wasting my time in Bleaker Street yeah
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: you know so there was a really a happening scene.
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah Again, I think it is all the timing of
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: everything coming together at that point, and your interest, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: the place that you were. So then, again, assembling that cast,
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: did you specifically find these people, or did they just
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: show up at a reading?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: A couple of the actors, the executive producer was Michael Nesmith,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and he had produced.
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: Amazing in its own right. Monkey, and the son of
• 38:40
  Speaker 13: the woman who invented liquid paper. And that's where his
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: fortune came from.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: He introduced me to Miguel Sandoval and Tracy Walter, because
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: they'd both been in this movie, Time Rider, that he'd produced.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: So I met them through Nesmith. Mostly a process of casting.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: The woman who cast Repo Man is a big celebrity
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: casting director now, but she'd never cast a film before
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Repo Man, because we all wanted to be directors at UCLA.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: So I said, well, if I'm the director of this film, Vicky,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: don't you want to work on She said, yeah, but
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: what can I do? I said, well, why don't you
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: be casting director?
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: We do need people.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: We need casting. And so she did. She became the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: casting director of Repo Man, and then turned that into
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: an extremely lucrative career. As did Bob Richardson, who was
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the second cameraman on the film. That was the first
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: feature he worked on.
• 39:35
  Speaker 13: Again, you do get great shots.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: Are you attributing that to some of the other... How
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: much do you envision going into some of these projects
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: as far as visual styling and all of that? Or
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: do you just kind of have more of the plot
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: in mind and then... sort of address that.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have a kind of visual aspect. I
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: don't like excessive cutting. If you can play a scene
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: in a master, it always seems much more interesting than
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: breaking it up into a whole bunch of mediums, close-ups.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of consistent, I guess. But I don't
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: normally plan in very great detail the visual aspect, because
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: that's for the camera person. That's where they have their fun.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: and I don't really mind what lens they use or
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: how they cover the scene as long as we've got
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: good footage that we can cut together.
• 40:28
  Speaker 13: And then do you like the editing process?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:31
  Speaker 13: That's kind of where everything really comes together. As long
• 40:35
  Speaker 13: as you get your good footage, yeah.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: It's very naughty now because the software directors can be
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: editors as well, which is kind of unfortunate because it's
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: good to have an editor as a separate person.
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it used to be its own specific, you know,
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: when that was your job, it was a little different
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: than just, yeah.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: And I did a couple of films which I did
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: myself just because technology made it so easy, but I've
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: gone back to working with editors. It's more fun to
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: have somebody else to bounce ideas off and somebody else
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: to interpret them.
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: The creative team kind of breeds more and more creativity. Yeah,
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: it's Well, then I guess, I mean, coming off of that, obviously, again,
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: you're steeped in the punk rock scene, so I guess
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: that leads to Sid and Nancy.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: And we had the biopic of Sid Vicious and Nancy Sponger.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: But, again, you're doing it in a very different style.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: It could be a little more, you know, traditional biopic,
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: but trying to put, like, almost like an old-school Hollywood
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: romance spin on it is.
• 41:34
  Speaker 13: Very different. No, they're horrible.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're a appalling pair. I find them even
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: more horrible now than I did then. I mean, I
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: think at that point, we had this kind of romantic
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: notion about, you know, all kinds of stuff about music
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: and drugs and love.
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: And you.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Just, as you get older, you know, you start to
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: be a little more, even more cynical if it's possible.
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: I'm there I was discussing yesterday how much I've given
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: up on most of those things it just becomes easier
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: as time goes on it's just it's all too much trouble.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: And the problem is and the problem for me with
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Sid and Nancy is I think it's not possible really
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: to the nature of making a drama tends to glorify
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: it tends to make it seem exciting even if it's
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: the most disgusting thing you could possibly imagine merely by
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: putting a frame around it, putting an artistic frame around it,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: calling it art, putting it on, you know, theater or
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: cinema or something, it tends to glorify or kind of
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: give a patina to it. to the most gross things. Yeah.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: So I don't find it a very successful film in
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: that way because for me the most important part of
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Sid and Nancy is the scene with Cy Richardson who
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: plays one of the repo men who's the main guy
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: in Straight to Hell when he tells Sid and Nancy
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: they are completely full of BS because of this, you know,
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: they had this opportunity to start a revolution and they've
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: just become a junkie rock star. Yeah, which.
• 43:11
  Speaker 13: a lot of people did at that point.
• 43:13
  Speaker 8: And now it's, it's part of the trappings of all
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: of that fame and arts and.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: All of it. And you see Cisco Pike and that's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: how Harry Dean's character goes out. He just become a junkie,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: Well, you, I definitely wanted to get to, to, and
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: you brought up straight to hell that that's one just
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: recently rewatching it. It's, it's kind of crazy.
• 43:35
  Speaker 13: I think it's great. I have no problem.
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: I didn't, it's one of those, like, I remembered from
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: years ago, but I had not watched it in years
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: and sat down to rewatch it.
• 43:45
  Speaker 13: It's so... It's just got so many different plates spinning
• 43:49
  Speaker 13: it at the same time. Have you seen the live version?
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it was the director's cut version that
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: you did.
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: That's good.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Originally, when we made the film, we produced it in
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: a lost heart and thought the film wasn't working and
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: people were finding it funny and he thought, cut some
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: stuff out and that'll make it better. So we cut
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: out a couple of scenes. Which I've put back now.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: Again, I think the The things that are coming together,
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: but it is interesting. Like, obviously, you grew up watching
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: Spaghetti Westerns and all of that. So was it, again,
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: was it specifically the Westerns that you just wanted to
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: make a Western and then you wanted to put your
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: own spin on it? Or what, I guess, led you
• 44:31
  Speaker 8: to kind of piece together what all that became?
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Well, we couldn't really do a straight Western because of
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: the number of musicians and the short time that we
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: had to shoot, you know. So the script was kind
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: of a potpourri that like Joe Strummer came up with
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: the idea. And then Dick Roode and I wrote the
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: screenplay in like two days or three days. And that
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: was it. And then we went and did it, you know,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: because all of these people were like the Pogues and
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Strummer were available in the month of August of that
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: year of 86. And so off we went to Almeria
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: and did this thing. We were supposed to shoot it
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: in three weeks. but I realized that we were going
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: to need a bit more time, and the producer was
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: a brilliant guy who went and got us a bit
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: more money so we could have another week of shooting.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Cy Richardson, who was playing the lead, didn't tell me
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: this at the time, but he had a real job
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: back in L.A. as well. He was a bank manager
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: working for Bank of America. They'd given him three weeks'
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: leave to come and bring him straight to hell, and
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: then he said... I need another week because the movie's
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: gone out in about a week. And they said, no,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: you have to make a choice. You can either be
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: a bank manager or an actor. So you go, okay,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to.
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: Be an actor.
• 45:56
  Speaker 13: That's not fun at all. No, I want to go
• 45:58
  Speaker 13: shoot people out in the desert.
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: This is way better.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: And so it actually worked. It actually worked out for him.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised that he didn't get a bigger career, Si,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: because he's always worked, but he hasn't become, he didn't
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: become Samuel L.
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: Jackson.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why.
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: That's non-stop work i don't know that anybody wants to
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: be that man does not stop yeah he's got movies
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: out at the same time in the theater like he
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: overlaps himself.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: He must just like it he must really like that
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: or else i mean you can't need that much money.
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: As long as yeah as long as he's been doing
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: it you think if he didn't want to he'd retire
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: but he is still lining them up man But yeah,
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: that one, I mean, I love the coffee angle. I
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: love the town, like everything. Was that town, was any
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: of that pre-existing or did you build?
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: The town was built for a Charles Bronson movie back
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: in the 60s or very early 70s. And it's a
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: terrible movie. It was called.
• 46:55
  Speaker 13: He made a lot of them too.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Caballos Salvajes. Joe thought it was called Savage Cowboys, but
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I think it was called... Not Chateau's Land, but something else. Anyway,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: some stupid, terrible American Western made in Spain. And they
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: built this town. And the thing was, obviously, Charles Bronson
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't very tall because they'd kind of made all the doors, like,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: kind of lower than they really would be.
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: So he looks. It's all about appearance.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: So he would look real good when he came through
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that door, you know. And that was the location that
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: we refurbished because it was already kind of deteriorating. Yeah.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: That building that's almost ready to go at any minute.
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: That's my favorite part.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: It looks like it. Barely made it through the shoot.
• 47:39
  Speaker 13: It's all gone now.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Everything's falling down now. There's a few bits of Adobe
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: sticking out of the ground, but that set is largely vanished.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Whereas the other ones, the Leone sets, for a few
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: dollars more, and once upon a time in the West,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: they're still there.
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, with Western, you just need that signature. Look,
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: it does seem like you could constantly just be bringing
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: in somebody else wants to shoot a Western, like, Just
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: change the signs a little bit.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: That was how it was then. In the 60s and
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: early 70s, it was a huge industry. Italian westerns made
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: in Almeria in Spain.
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: Also, I definitely wanted to get into just sort of
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: the love of film in general. So looking at you
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: doing Moviedrome, that's another one of those that I think
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: we didn't get much of it here. But I'm looking
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: at all these people that reference how much that was
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: the touchstone for them and how they... became a movie
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: fan because of your, you know, introductions and sort of
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: the finding these obscure movies or, or just finding like
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: a way to appreciate things about them. So I don't,
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: I mean, that, that definitely is something that I think
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: is really interesting about anybody.
• 48:45
  Speaker 13: Like there are people that.
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: Just work in the film industry and it's their job
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: and they're not, but there are other, you know, there
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: are people that are just the passion for, for just
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: the love of film comes through. And so that, yeah,
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: I mean, what, What was it you were trying to
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: do as being involved in just sort of curating and
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: bringing these things to people?
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Earn some money. Because the thing was, after I did
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: this movie Walker, I couldn't get a job in Hollywood anymore.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I was effectively blacklisted. Or not effectively, actually blacklisted. So
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I had to make money in order to subsidize my...
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: hobby of being a filmmaker. So that was a way
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: of making money. But also it was kind of fun
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: because the BBC had all of these films under license
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: so they didn't know what to do with. So this
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: producer at the BBC called Nick Jones came up with
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: the idea that we would say it's a cult movie season.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: And And then he would just put anything in there.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: He'd just pile it all in. And the deal was
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: that if I didn't like something, I could say I
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: didn't like it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 13: And that was very different.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Only time I've ever encountered that where you can introduce
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: a film. I mean, if you look at Turner Classic Movies,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: not to diss, Turner Classic Movies has some very good
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: films put together. But they have a guy in a
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: suit with a tie, you know, sitting in front of
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: a fake fireplace. And he has to say everything about
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: this film is just great, you know. And it's not
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: necessary to do that because the audience isn't stupid. The
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: audience knows that some films are less good than others.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: And what I would try and do is find something
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: interesting even in a bad film, like Diva. So I
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: could say, well, there is one scene where they've art
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: directed the whole room so it looks like a packet
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: of Gitan. You know, this is very French. And so
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: there were always little things you could say even about
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: the worst film. You could find something to say about
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: the editing strategy or about the design or a performance. Like, say,
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Cisco Pike, which we just watched. Harry Dean is a standout.
• 50:44
  Speaker 13: Harry Dean, always a standout.
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: But yeah, that is something that I really, especially just
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: watching movies, and then in general, once I started focusing
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: more on the show, we've watched so many bad movies
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: over the years. And I'm like, I don't disregard that
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: they aren't bad. There are many that are, but sometimes
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: I find the most interesting things in the worst movies. So, yeah,
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: I think it is one of those. I think all
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: of them kind of need to be, like, looked at
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: and reexamined. And, like, a lot of people just want
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: to brush those aside and look at the Oscar winners.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: But I'm like, there's so many way more interesting films
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: out of there that probably got forgotten that, you know,
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: if you, I don't know, I think there's just so
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: much potential to finding stuff in other movies.
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: Lesser known films.
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: So, well, and then with, with something like that, do
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: you get into just like discussing film? Do you, cause
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: I know you've done teaching, you've written.
• 51:39
  Speaker 13: Books about it.
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: So how much do you enjoy just the, the like
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: passing on that knowledge or like bringing it, you know,
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: kind of discussing film, I think is just as important
• 51:48
  Speaker 8: as the filmmaking process.
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: I'm like, you can make the best movie in the world,
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: but if nobody wants to see it or talk about it.
• 51:54
  Speaker 13: So I think once now that we've got.
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: Sort of this culture that, enjoys you know engaging in
• 52:00
  Speaker 8: discussions about film i i don't know i i really
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: appreciate that so it's like what what is it you
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: try to bring when you're doing like yeah again like
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: curating a film festival or putting together a class for
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: someone about film.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Just what interests me i mean it's got to be
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: something that interests me to make to make a book
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: happen or to make a film happen it has it's
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: an innate thing that there's something that's interesting like um
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, for book-wise, it helps if you can do
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: an anniversary, like if it's the 50th anniversary of The Prisoner,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: it's much easier to write a book and publish a
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: book about The Prisoner. But I was, I'm totally obsessed
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: with The Prisoner. It's the best thing that was ever
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: on television. And boy, you know, so I was lucky.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: This is the 35th anniversary year of Repo.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean, with any of that, it does
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: seem like there's, There's a newfound wave of people looking
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: for that type of stuff.
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: Do you think there's a future in this new... Everything
• 52:59
  Speaker 13: is now available streaming and everybody... But it's not, is it?
• 53:02
  Speaker 13: I mean, well, there's so much more. Again, not necessarily
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: what we're looking for sometimes.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Tell me a film in black and white that's streaming.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Apart from Roam.
• 53:10
  Speaker 13: There are.
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: Well, I think you just have to look a little harder.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: I have seen... There are a couple of new streaming
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: services that are catering to older and arthouse kind of stuff.
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: There's, oddly enough, near the library right now.
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: The public library started a weird streaming service that I
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: hope people get on board with and kind of support
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: that because I think they do find really good movies
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: and make them available.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: But when I look at what's available on Hulu or
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Amazon or Netflix, it's all English language films in color.
• 53:43
  Speaker 13: And a lot of recent stuff that you've never heard of.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: And you don't want to know about.
• 53:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's just weird. People that got the movie made, yeah.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: And that was an unfortunate thing because Criterion and TCM
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: tried to have a streaming service, didn't they?
• 53:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and they don't. People just don't want to put
• 54:02
  Speaker 13: money towards it. Anything that they can go download for
• 54:05
  Speaker 13: free or cheap Netflix.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, they're paying for their Netflix and
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: they're paying for their Amazon, you know, and they're paying
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: for their Hulu.
• 54:10
  Speaker 13: It's weird.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: It is disturbing that because that... The combination of Criterion
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: and TCM meant that there was going to be a
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: place where you could stream films in black and white
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: and foreign language films. Gone. So we're kind of screwed.
• 54:28
  Speaker 13: You just never know what to expect from people.
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: Just when I think we've got a good fan base going,
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: sometimes they let the best stuff fall to the wayside.
• 54:38
  Speaker 13: So it's... I don't know.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: And there's films that just, you know, I mean, there's
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: films that literally have disappeared. I mean, you know Francesco Rossi,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: the Italian director? He made a film called The Matte Affair.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: It's his best film. It's better than Salvatore Giuliano. It's
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: an absolute masterpiece. Try and find that. Try and find
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: The Matte Affair with Gian Maria Volante made in 1971.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: And it's in color. But it's a film about the
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: guy who founded the Italian petrochemical business. And it's very political.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: And it's a brilliant film. It's like Citizen Kane. But
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: with an even better performance. But it's just not available.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: And partially it's screwed because it's owned by both the
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Italian producer and Paramount. And so for anybody to bring
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: out a DVD or a Blu-ray, they would both have
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: to pay off the Italian producer and Paramount.
• 55:34
  Speaker 13: There's so many rights things that kill a.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Lot of those movies. Paramount have no desire to promote
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: a film which says that the American oil business is
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: deeply corrupt. It's almost like.
• 55:46
  Speaker 13: They're running everything.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: They were owned by Gulf of Weston for a while.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: So it's really problematic. And if you don't know about
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: the Matt Daly affair, how do you find it? If
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: you know about it, maybe you can find an illegal
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: bootleg of it somewhere. But if you don't know about it, how.
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: Do you do that? At least people connect. Usually it's
• 56:10
  Speaker 8: all the internet. Nobody leaves their house at this point.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: Sometimes you do find stuff that's... They at least try
• 56:16
  Speaker 8: to find the good stuff on the internet.
• 56:18
  Speaker 13: There's plenty of bad out there too.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Like you said, the physical institution of the library. You
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: can go to the library and see what they've got
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: in their DVD collections. it's something good.
• 56:27
  Speaker 13: I brought that up recently.
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: I was like, I'm surprised sometimes the stuff I run
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: across that's like, they're still bringing in new film. They're
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: bringing in like criterion movies that.
• 56:35
  Speaker 13: Nobody's checking out cause they don't know they're there. So yeah, it's,
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: it's impressive. Yeah.
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: Well, and then as far as like filmmaking, you, you're
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: still directing. Is it something that you still enjoy that
• 56:47
  Speaker 8: as much as, as the writing or the hosting or,
• 56:50
  Speaker 8: or doing film?
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: The hosting I don't enjoy at all. That's a job.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: But the, um, No, that was just to make some money.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: But I enjoy every aspect of the filmmaking process. I
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: enjoy scheduling.
• 57:06
  Speaker 13: I enjoy doing the breakdown.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Except raising the money, which is very hard. But everything
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: else is just wonderful. It's just a wonderful process.
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 57:18
  Speaker 13: Well, have you got stuff in the works?
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: Or is there stuff you want to tell people to
• 57:22
  Speaker 8: kind of see what you've got going on?
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: I am very old And in five years' time, I
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: will be 70. That's it. Because I think when you
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: turn 70, you should stop driving and you should get
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: out and make way. You should probably do that when
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: you're 40. But in the ensuing five years... I would
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: like to do a sequel to Repo Man because I
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: now have the U.S. rights back. And so, unfortunately, if
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: I can't make a deal with the university, it means
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: I can't sell it abroad. And that makes it more
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: difficult to raise the money. But if I can, over
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: the next five years, I would like to do a
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: sequel to Repo Man and a movie about Billy the Kid. Nice.
• 58:12
  Speaker 13: Both of those are good options.
• 58:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: The sequel to Repo Man is called The Wages of Beer.
• 58:20
  Speaker 8: Well, and then there's a hole in that theory, though,
• 58:22
  Speaker 8: because as we just said, Samuel L. Jackson will not
• 58:25
  Speaker 8: stop working. He is pushing 70 right now. And he's
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: still doing action movies.
• 58:30
  Speaker 13: He's an actor.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I wouldn't quit being an actor because you might
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: need an 80-year-old guy in the movie. Well, there you go.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: Except I won't build them in my lines. I'll have
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: to write them on the wall.
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: Just giant cute guys.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I acted in a movie last year. Not a movie,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: a series for Mexican television, or Mexican streaming. A series
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: about the 1968 massacre in Tlatelolco, the massacre of students.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: And I play the station chief of the CIA in
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Mexico City, Winston Scott. So it's all scenes of me
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: in restaurants. Not all me, but all my scenes are
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: in restaurants, sitting around the table, talking, endless explaining what's
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: going on in Spanish.
• 59:11
  Speaker 8: That's more of what you get as doing the AG actors.
• 59:14
  Speaker 8: A lot of it becomes sitting at a desk, sitting
• 59:16
  Speaker 8: in a restaurant.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Jake the explainer, or Joaquin the explainer. Yeah, but it
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: was so much fun. It was so much fun because
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: I was working with some really good actors. There's a
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Mexican actor called Daniel Jimenez Cacho was the lead. And
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: he's just a brilliant actor. And some of these guys
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: had a lot more dialogue than me. And boy, they
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: were like spot on. These were like really great. So
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: that was really fun.
• 59:41
  Speaker 13: That's impressive. I know I don't remember anything.
• 59:45
  Speaker 8: Anyone can remember their lines.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: If you have, I'm not one trying to encourage you
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: to get an Amazon account by any means, but if
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: you did have one, you could find it online. It's
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: a series called Un Enemigo Extraño, A Strange Enemy. And
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: it's really kind of a cool series. It's eight episodes.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe it should only be five. But you know how
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: it is. I mean, it's whatever it is.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 13: At this finish, again.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: The system's changed so much now. If you want to
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 8: make 10, 12, 15 hours, if you get the money,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: you can do it.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of hoping. I mean, the director's talking
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: about doing a second season. So I hope they do
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: next year because then I can go back and be
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: the CIA station chief. Well, that's good.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 13: You've got new stuff coming up.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 13: Well, thank you for being with us.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for having me.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 13: Thank you.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 5: The government gets over his throat.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: Sutton first, major stroke.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: Over at Newcompton.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: Coup d'etat.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: And this guy, CAA, is the name of the agency,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: although I think they're all the same, said, you don't
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: want to work with Harry Dean. I said, I don't?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: He goes, no, Harry Dean's past it. You want somebody
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: who's up and coming, and I've got just the person
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: for you. I go, ooh, Mick Jagger. Can you imagine
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: how this film would have turned out? You know? Nobody
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: would be sitting here tonight watching this movie with Mick Jagger.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: You can't always get what you want.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 8: You can't always get what you want.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: So thank you to Alex for sitting down and answering
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: my goofy questions and listening to me ramble on about
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 8: my love of movies.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 9: And thank you for repo, man. That's probably my favorite
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: Hades Stanton film. I believe it's just so dang weird.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 8: I mean, he, he's kind of co-lead. Like, he doesn't get,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: you know, he's got two leads, essentially, and that's the most.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 9: Sort of like Paris, Texas, and this, right? Paris, Texas,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: I guess, the last.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: Movie, and then this is probably the most screen time between,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 8: you know, Lucky and Paris, Texas. Yeah, Repo Man's probably
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: the next round of, you know, the most screen time,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: the most co-lead that he gets to play the rest
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: of his career.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: He's just so crazy in it. This is, like, that
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: whole movie has got such a good vibe. It's like,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: it's one of those that I keep thinking about long after, uh,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 9: after I've seen it, like a, like, I love Donnie Darko,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 9: I'm not ashamed. And it's one of those, I can
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: start Googling stuff about Donnie Darko long after I've watched it.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 8: I want to do an entire episode. I've also got
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 8: at least one person in mind who is not a fan,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 8: and I kind of think I need that.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: There to counterbalance, because I'm somewhere in the middle of.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 9: I would drive to Louisville for that, so put me
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: on that if you need some money.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, if we can put that together. I'm definitely not
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: ashamed to say I like it, but I also want
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: to delve into it, because I think... That's another filmmaker
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 8: that I'm like, I don't know where he falls.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: He might be genius. He might just be a lunatic.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with him.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 9: I've heard Southland Tales is better than people give it
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: credit for.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 8: I was recently discussing Southland Tales. It is insanity. Again,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: in both directions.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: It's amazing and.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 8: what the fuck all at the same time so i'm
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 8: like i don't know what to do with it i
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 8: believe i read the comic and the comic was pretty
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 8: good yeah that's another one of those that was kind
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 8: of that era when like we're gonna do a tie-in
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 8: comic book that's not really like it's not the movie
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: done in comic form it's a tie-in that like you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: have to know what's going on in the comic to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: fully understand the movie i'm like that's going too far.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah that's i understand if they went back and re-edited
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: the movie to put some of the comic book stuff
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: in so people weren't as confused I don't know that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: that's really going to rescue it. Donnie Darko, the website
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: I set up real late, I remember in one of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 9: my friend's dorm rooms, and we went through that whole website.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 9: It's cached somewhere, so you can get back to it.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: So I started going through it again. It's like, yeah,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 9: I love that movie. Jakey G.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 8: On the tie-in back to our Marvel discussion, I did
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 8: think it was kind of awesome. Again, talking about movies
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: that Harry Dean Stanton has tons of screen time in.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 8: The Friday night festivities here, if you guys missed it,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 8: they did an outdoor screening, brought in the big screen,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 8: got everybody. It's family friendly, so everybody came out and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 8: just kind of sat out in the park and watched
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 8: a movie outdoors. The movie was The Avengers.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 9: Yes, the security guard.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: I thought that was great. I was like, granted, I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 8: want to go sit outside and watch The Avengers anyway.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: But the fact that it's the Harry Dean cameo, essentially.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah, last year they did Straight Story, which I thought
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: was great. I had not seen that one either. That's
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: one of the great things about it. I love Harry Dean,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: but he's got so many movies or a lot of
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 9: them that I haven't seen.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: He logged in a lot of films.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so Straight Story I thought was just a beautiful,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 9: beautiful movie.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 8: David Lynch at his least weird.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 8: In his life, including his personal life, I'm pretty sure.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 9: That was his only G movie, so yeah. I was thinking,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: what did I see recently that I thought, oh, have
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 9: you seen the show Legion? On FX.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: I hear nothing but good things. I've not had time
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 8: to delve into it.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: Even if you don't like superheroes, this is like Mr.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Robot.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 9: It's got a bit of Pushing Daisies in it, which
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 9: I love that show. It's got a Lynch vibe to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: it as well. There's some outright weird, crazy things that
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: go on. I think if he had directed an episode,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: which I think this is the last season they're on now,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 9: I think he should come in. I think he could
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: do an awesome episode of that show.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 8: I've got a co-host that wants them to go ahead
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: and work that in as official like canon moving forward
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 8: into the new x-men.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 11: That would be reboot whatever the hell they do with
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 11: it's just absolutely weird i mean it's aubrey plaza like
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 11: you know you've seen her in parks and rec but
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 11: man in this she's just outright insane and like in
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: a good way and she made me fall in love
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 11: with her more.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah tie in for now she's there and child's play
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 8: but this is also like i said this the other
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 8: day Actually, we were, no surprise, as we're hitting used bookstores,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 8: Misty's there, and I'm looking at the new or last
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: month's issue of Cosmo on the counter there, and I'm
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 8: just like, you know, if you go back and... told
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: me that weird, awkward girl in Mystery Team would someday
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 8: be on the cover of Cosmo looking super hot. I'm like,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 8: I would have told you you were crazy because she
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 8: is such a weirdo. And by that, I mean I
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 8: love her. But she's so weird and unusual. So the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 8: fact that she gets to kind of cross over now
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 8: into acceptable, normal, modern... she's getting magazine covers like it's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 8: it's kind of amazing she's the best she's come that
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 8: far and yet is still.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 9: Totally a weirdo at heart you should watch welcome to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 9: sweden which is amy puller's brother's show she's on it
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 9: too like amy puller plays herself and it's about like
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 9: her brother like he i think he was like an
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 9: accountant for celebrities or something and he moves off to
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 9: sweden with his wife and he gets harassed by her
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 9: to come back and aubrey plaza is like stalking him
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 9: as aubrey plaza it's really funny Wait.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 8: As herself?
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 8: That sounds about right.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like one of those, I don't know,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 9: entourage-y sort of inside baseball sort of things.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: It's a fictional version of the real world. Right, right, right, right.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 9: But yeah, she's the best. Speaking of Cosmo, are they
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 9: ever going to run out of sex tips?
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 8: I don't think so. I mean, I usually don't go
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 8: past the photos. Because it involves reading, and obviously I'm
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 8: not going to learn anything.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 8: Nor do I have a use for it.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, usually I'm just like, hey, what's this photo
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: shoot look like?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's cool. That's cool.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm done now.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 9: I heard some people playing with a bop-it once, and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 9: I thought maybe that's what they could use for sex tips.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 9: You know, bop-it, push it. Actually, I've seen a video.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 9: I spend a lot of time on the internet, let
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: me tell you. As previously mentioned, the evils of the internet.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 9: I have seen one that.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: Involved a bop-it. Thank you very much.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, well.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 9: Pornhub.com.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: Evils of the internet. We're not sponsoring them yet, but
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 8: if they would like to.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 9: Sponsor the show, I'm not too good for them. One
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 9: joke I wrote once was something about, I can't even
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: remember how it went, but what if there was like
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: a men's version of Cosmo and it'd be like, you
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 9: want to heat things up in the bedroom? Get this
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 9: new Kinstar energy heater.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, guys are kind of dumb. You could just
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 8: sell them whatever.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 9: Right, right.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, really?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 8: Okay, cool.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: It's like Bob Bielas Cosmo. I want to see that.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 8: GQ just doesn't cut it for you.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 9: Right. No, I got to get some sort of tool-related things.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 9: And that wasn't a euphemism.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 8: You do with it what you want, guys. I mean,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 8: whatever you need to take from it.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but man, I love Lexington.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 8: I've had a good day. Just this run today has
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: been pretty awesome, and I've hit a lot of places.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 8: I might have, as I was out there, if you're
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 8: in Lexington wandering around, I might have dropped a few
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 8: flyers as I was going. I'm trying to infect a
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 8: few more Lexingtonians and get them to be like, what
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 8: the hell is this? And then listen and be like, oh, hey,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 8: they were at Aridine Staten Fest. So I want to
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 8: spread our love and goodness and evil that is when
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 8: we melt down to the rest of the cities of
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: the world.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 9: Godspeed, my friend. I walked around and played Pokemon Go,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 9: so I also got a nice little tour of the city.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 8: That's equally as geeky in a separate direction.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: And again, I am 40.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 8: I don't think there's any kids out there playing. I
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 8: think it's just old, weird people like us.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: I had a really weird, but I was in Owensboro
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 9: and there's an old building there. I don't know if
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: you saw it when you visited called Gabe's Tower. It's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 9: like really weird. I don't know if you call it mid-century.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: I'm not an expert in architecture, but like it's this
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 9: old round building. It used to have a Like, when
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 9: it was open, it was a hotel, and it had, like,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 9: a bar at the top of it. There's a swimming
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 9: pool at the top of it. It was a pretty crazy, like,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: odd building for Owensboro. And it's been closed down forever.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 9: In Pokemon Go, it is a gym called Haunted Hotel.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 9: Some terrible things have happened at this hotel after it
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 9: closed down. Or actually, it's still open. But anyway, I
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 9: was there on my bike. I have a little mount.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 9: This is how nerdy I am. I have a mount
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 9: on my bike. It was on the bike when I
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 9: got it, but I figured out my iPhone fits in there,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: so I'll drive around and play Pokemon Go.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: This is a new level of nerdy.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 8: I'll give you that.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: But I was playing, and I took this gym. I'm
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 9: not going to bother explaining the premise of the game.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: I think everybody gets it. But I took this gym,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 9: and I saw while I was there fighting someone's Pokemon,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 9: whatever the plural is, Pokemon. Pokemon eyes. As I was
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 9: taking these out, I do know you get an alert
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 9: if somebody's fighting your guys. I saw a black SUV.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: It was almost like a government thing parked over to
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 9: the side. And after I won, I took off. And
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 9: just within a few minutes, I got a notification that
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 9: my Pokemon had died or came back to me. And
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 9: then when I went off, I saw the SUV was gone.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 9: So I started fighting this guy's Pokemon again. And not
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 9: too long after that, the SUV comes up and parks
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 9: right behind me. And I finish up. And then I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 9: bike off again. And sure enough, it was like, so
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 9: these people must not have much of a life. I
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: guess maybe they set camp out and wait for notifications.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 8: And it's bad coming from the middle of this story.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, you know, I do other things, too. But,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 9: you know, it was just funny, like, you know, twice
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 9: this mysterious government-looking SUV comes up next to me to
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: fight my Pokemon.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Were there unmarked helicopters hovering.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 9: In the background? I didn't notice any, but I don't
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 9: know that I had my glasses on. Yeah, the truth
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 9: is out there. You got to watch your back. Amen.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 8: So, my question... Are you supposed to ride and Pokemon Go?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 8: Because I feel like that's dangerous.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: That's like a don't text and drive kind of thing, right?
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 9: Well, on my bike, I've mastered the one-hand capture. But
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: if I'm riding, I don't usually play it a lot.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 9: It's not until I stop that I get in these.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 9: So I do ride a little bit. But I don't
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: play while I'm driving because I have one of those insurance.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 7: Bugs, little.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 9: That's very uncool. Discount me if I don't use my phone.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: It actually says phone use. It'll duck me for phone use.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 8: Kids, if you learn anything today, it's don't drive and
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 8: play Pokemon Go.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and if you want any more reinforcement for that lesson,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 9: I rear-ended somebody once from looking at my phone. Facebook,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: Ugh.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 8: The evils of the internet, except when going to heritagestantonfest.org
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 8: and finding out about next year's festivities.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 9: Yes, please support this. It is such a great event. It's, uh,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 9: The people who come, you'll usually get to hang out
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 9: with for a little bit. There's no formal meet and greets,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 9: so it's all pretty casual. There's bars and there's things
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 9: around that you can get up.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 8: She usually has at least one of it centered around
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 8: some sort of gathering, probably a bar that you can
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 8: just kind of hang out and just talk to other
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: geeks that are into movies.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: Harry Dean even came and hanged out when he was alive.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 9: That was awesome.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 8: That was a pretty epic year.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 9: I've seen video. I wasn't able to make it that year, sadly.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: I know it was her dream to have him out.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: That was a beautiful thing for her to be able
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: to achieve.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: It was great. Again, it was the last few years.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 8: We didn't know it at the time, I guess, but
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 8: it's not like he was getting younger. It was good
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 8: that before that happened, he got to come here. He
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: got to experience how much people appreciated him in more
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 8: or less his hometown and then You know, they gave
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 8: him the key to the city. Like, it was such
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: a great night. So, it's good that he got to
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: experience that while he was still around.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: Absolutely, absolutely.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 8: And now, I was even more, like, thrilled that... Because
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 8: once he was gone, I was like, oh... So is
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 8: that going to change the festival now? Because, you know,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 8: that was kind of a weird thing to have happen. Normally,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 8: if you're doing it in honor of someone, they're probably
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 8: long gone. And, you know, this is my Orson Welles
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 8: film fest. But when the person is still there, like
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 8: I'm like, that's a weird moment, you know. So I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 8: was really glad to see After it happened, how much
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 8: Lucy was just going to carry on and continue to
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 8: do it like she always has.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 9: I feel like nothing's changed at all.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: It really hasn't. And if more, she's like equally as
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 8: driven to bring in even better guests, continue to put
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 8: on new and different. Like every year she puts on
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 8: a totally different other event kind of coupled with it.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, like the prom, which I hate that I missed that.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: The 80s prom to go with the Pretty in Pink showing.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 8: And yeah, so everything was kind of tailored just specifically for...
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 8: For this event, and it's mostly due to Lucy. So, again,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 8: support Lucy and everything Harry Dean Stanton Fest related. Go
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 8: to their website and plan your trip here next year.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 9: Yes, it's a wonderful city, and make sure you add
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 9: some time to go see the shops and the great
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: food that's around here. Taliho, what up? I know your
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 9: service is not always great, but your burgers make up
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: for it.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 8: Parkette.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm a Parkette fan.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: I don't think I've had that.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: It's an old-school drive-in, and I'm not driving.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, I have.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: Not a drive-in movie, as in drive up and eat
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 8: your food, which isn't a good idea, so you go
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 8: inside because there are tables now.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 9: I think I had that for the first time or
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 9: the last year, and that was really good.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: That was a regular.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 8: I think we recorded an episode sitting there many years ago.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 9: Again, I keep derailing this, but the best burrito I've
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: ever had is here in Lexington. If you go McDonald's
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: as you come into Lexington, I don't know if you
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 9: come in the same way as me, but it's on
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: Versailles Road, Versailles, whatever. um depending on where you're from
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 9: i suppose there's like a little kind of mexican sort
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 9: of not a suburb like a street where there's a
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 9: lot of shops that uh but there's a burrito shop
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: in there it looks like it's an old gas station
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 9: or something and you know it's authentic you know there's
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 9: all kinds of stuff in there but their burritos actually
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 9: got voted a couple food critics from blogs traveled around
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 9: america to find like the best burrito in america and
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 9: that either came in number one or number two and
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 9: uh it was it's amazing like i was up here
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 9: for kpla the library conference and yeah we ate there
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: more than once and.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 8: Again, not to do nothing but plug these places. But again,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 8: if any of them would like to sponsor us, feel free.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 8: But this, I wish I hadn't. As I talked to
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: you earlier, I was like, I'm going to go grab
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: some food and then we'll come and record, which we're
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 8: doing now. So when I'd already eaten, if not, because
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 8: I was wandering around after that just trying to find
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 8: stuff to do while I was waiting for the movie.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: And I passed by Girls, Girls, Girls Burritos.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: Oh, I heard about this place. And I'm like, you know,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 8: just for name alone, this is genius.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: I want to get on board with you guys.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 9: I think my friend Ronnie was like a bike delivery
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 9: person for them or something. Here's the large burrito. Look
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 9: how big that is. Impressive.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Giant.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 8: I do like giant burritos.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: And that's a good visual aid for the folks at home.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: It was very large. But yeah, so that one's one
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 8: I'm going to have to come back. So next year
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 8: when you're heading to, you know, Harry Dean Stanton Fest,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 8: you can come have a burrito of one of their
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 8: many fine establishments in this town.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 9: Support local businesses, y'all.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: And Harry Dean Stanton Fest.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: Absolutely.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 8: On that note, I say we wrap it up. We
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 8: have rambled on about the wonders of Lexington for long enough.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 9: Yes, it's an enchanting burg.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: So, otherwise, that about does it. We will return next time.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: Same geek read.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 8: Thanks for listening. Bye.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: When I lock my afterburners, I'm a bullet whizzing by.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: I'm zero to sixty light years in the blink of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: an alien eye.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 5: I'm in a shaking, baking, stinking, smoking like the vertical climb.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 8: If I was going any faster.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 13: I'd be going back in time.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 5: Leaving nothing but a paper train.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: In my ride from outer space.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 12: I can banter through a nebula and slingshot through the sun.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Don't look no further, bet it, cause you know I'm
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: number one.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: On top that flame, that bomb, that field, you've got.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: To trick it out.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: When I burn through your dimension, you'll know.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: What it's all about.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 10: I can tell a.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: Girl from that look there on your face. You're digging
