  Speaker 3: Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I'm Brian.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: I'm Nora.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: I'm Lucy.
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: And we're coming to you live via digital recording.
• 1:27
  Speaker 8: From Doug's place. Your mobile place. We occasionally invade your
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: traveling home as you wander the land.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: Hi.
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: Welcome, Doug Jones. Hi, everybody.
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: Well, I think this is the fourth time we've been
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: in one of my hotel rooms.
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: It's intimate.
• 2:07
  Speaker 9: But I have a suite today.
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: This is very fancy.
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: We have a second room here, so we don't have
• 2:11
  Speaker 9: to be on the floor next to my bed.
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: Well, and it's very fancy because you put your pants
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: on this time. So, I mean, we ask just a little.
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: I do love a good pantless podcast, though. Can we
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: be honest?
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, again, is it the first one I've done? Anyway,
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: that aside. I'm eating a granola bar, everybody. Powering up
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: with Doug. So, do get a snack.
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: I encourage it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: But I figured we'd go ahead and do our little
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: intros and bring you in, because at this point, you've
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: done so many, you're kind of the Anne B.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Davis.
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: We just need, at the beginning of every show, a
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: little square to pop up and be like, and Doug
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: Jones as Alice, or whatever.
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: We just need to bring you in as the extra
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: person every episode.
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like Joan Rivers being on the Johnny
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: Carson show. It was enough times that she needed no introduction.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: Can we talk?
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: Can we talk?
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: We get a little more can we talks going on. Yeah, exactly.
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: I'll be your Joan Rivers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: Okay. Way less surgery. Thank you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: Tell me about it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: So, last time we spoke, you just came from the Oscar. Like, literally. Like,
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: you're still wearing your tux.
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: I mean, we swept you in.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: Moved all the lame press out of the way and
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: we're like, obviously come sit down and talk to movie. So, um,
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: how has it been since now being part of a,
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: you know, Oscar winning best picture project? Well, has, has
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: things changed for you?
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: Well, life changed, uh, uh, very little because I went
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: right back to Toronto again, went back into production for
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: season two of Star Trek discoveries.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: So slather on more latex.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: So I was, I was tucked away in Canada, uh, uh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: And so when I'm focused on doing that show, the
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: dialogue memorization alone is just like cramming for exams every
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: day of my adult life.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: A little bit of technobabble. Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: And, of course, the scientists in our audience would hate
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: the term technobabble, I have learned, because the techno has
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: lots of meaning and substance.
• 4:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: And it needs to be correct. The science has to
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: be right, or we're going to lose that part of
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: our audience. I lean towards the Babel part.
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: And I don't blame them.
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: Now, it feels like Babel to me, because I'm an
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: idiot who doesn't know the science. But to them, it's like,
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: it's not Babel, it's science. So I want to be respectful.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: But it is so hard to memorize when you are
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: an artist and not a scientist. You know what I'm saying?
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: I'm not well read.
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: You've got a lot of other. You've got life experience.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: I have other. You've logged in 10,000 movies at this point. No,
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: it's not that many. It's an impressive resume.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, well.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: My IMDb page does scroll down to 165 credits now.
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: Maybe I don't know what it is, but yeah.
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: Well, we'll see if we can get you some more.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: It's dwindling away.
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: I'm hoping to get to 200 before I die. Yeah,
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: But yes, I mean, that's a lot to deal with,
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: just being part of that show.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: But I will say that the big thing that I
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: noticed is we're sitting here at a convention this weekend, right?
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: This is Horror Hound in Cincinnati. And my lines at
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: the queuing up for my table at conventions has changed
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: dramatically since last year.
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: I never had.
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: You know, crickets.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: You always get pretty well. Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: I've been doing conventions since, you know, in my off time, uh,
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: since 2000, I'm going to say six. And, um, uh,
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: but I have never seen a surge like this last
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: year ever before. And, um, and it does create more stress,
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: you know, when you're at a table and you want to,
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: you want to hug on everybody and hear their life
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: story and, and, and get into the whys of what
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: they loved about this or that movie or TV show
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: I've been in.
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: That's great.
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: Great.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: Great.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Love.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: I want to hear it all.
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: Then there's a queue of people that have been waiting
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: for an hour behind them.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: That makes me feel, oh, God.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: I got to keep this moving. So it adds a
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: pressure because I want to accommodate everybody, but there just
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: isn't enough time in the day.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: It hurts my heart. Just hug. Squeeze the face. Move on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Squeeze the face.
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: You saw me yesterday. I'm still squeezing faces and hugging.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: Run out from behind the table and tackle people.
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: I shan't stop that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: That's a part of the deal. That's part of the
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: waiting in line. I'm sorry, but yeah. There was one
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: nice fellow yesterday who said, not the face.
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: I felt terrible. Try not to punch them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: It was like during the photo. We were getting a
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: little snapshot with his camera.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: Like, hi.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: And so I usually got to crawl my fingers up
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: a face.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: And he was like a dignified looking older man with
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: a suit jacket on and like a nice coiffed haircut.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: I thought, oh my gosh. You know. Everything read, you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: just normal and class about the man. And then he
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: starts screaming at me. And I felt horrible because I
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: should ask, I suppose. But I just crashed through people's boundaries.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that does seem to be the case.
• 7:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: The one, again, just hanging out in that room there,
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: kind of watching people. The one that was the most
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: fascinating was, and it wasn't even one of yours, surprisingly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: In the same room was Christina Ricci. And she's adorable.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Adorable.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: Still to this day.
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: Pocket size. She still looks like a seven-year-old.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: It's ridiculous how petite she is. I kind of guess
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: I should have known that. But she's a tiny gal.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: But so what's funny is the guy, there's a big
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: line and people are coming out and there's a guy
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: that's like six, five, big guy walking out of her line, weeping,
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: just crying. And I was just like, oh. I was like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: he really had an experience.
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: He was reduced to tears.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, I love it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: That's kind of precious.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: People have a strange reaction when they get to meet you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: I'm getting cried on more this past year, too.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: But a movie like The Shape of Water is.
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: The one that's going to touch an emotional nerve. You know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: that other, like something like Falling Skies, you know, a
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: space invasion wouldn't, you know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: I have, it is funny just because most of my
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: movie geek talk is on this show. So like sometimes
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I come in contact with regular people is how I
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: usually refer to them on the show. And I just
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: don't even get into it because my level of diving
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: into a movie is not what they're looking for. Like
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: it just, it confuses them usually when I've rambled for
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: five minutes and they're.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Like, what movie are we talking about?
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: So yeah it's way more than they want to get
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: into usually so to spare them i usually just shut
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: up but several times even in the last couple of
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: months i've had like very normal people bring up the
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: shape of water like it because of i'm assuming the
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: oscar more than anything i mean it was popular anyway
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: but just that pushes it into the limelight and Into
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: normal people's view in a way that like, yeah, other
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: movies don't always make it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: Right, right.
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: Movies with rubber monsters in them don't often make it
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: to a 13 nomination, you know, night at the Oscars
• 9:04
  Speaker 9: with including four wins, best picture, best director, all that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: That was quite a sticker on the wall. You've done
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: good for the genre of movies, you know.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: And yet one of those normal people was still totally
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: creeped out by what was going on between. Hey, hey. See,
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: If you watch it to the end of the movie,
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: it makes perfect sense. Have you seen? I mean, people
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: hook up with fish people in movies.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: All the time.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: Watch Splash. It happens.
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: See, that's what I'm saying.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's fine.
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: Has no one seen Aquaman?
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: They wanted to be creeped out. I'm just like, whatever.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Put the towels under the door and get to business.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: So.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: Okay. That was my recommendation.
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: That's how the script called for it, too. In the
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: narration part, it was like, she puts the towel under
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: the door.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: Guillermo's like, get to business. Get to business. Brian's terrible.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: He's a terrible person. Yeah, that's true.
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: I feel like that movie was... really polarizing because I
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: loved it and I know a lot of people who
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: loved it, but then other people just couldn't get past.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: But it's like, well, I don't know. I guess everybody
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: has their own theories, but I'm like, she was a
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: fish person.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: But by the end, when you see, if you watch
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: it to the end, then it all makes sense. It
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: wasn't bestiality after all.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: Damn it. Never mind, then. It changes my whole take
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: on this movie.
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: But him being a fish man mutant and a sentient being,
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: it just changes everything. It's not like doing your dog.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying? It's way different. You know
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: what I'm saying?
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: He's pretty sophisticated.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: And when he ends up having semi-supernatural sort of powers,
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: and he was touted as a river god in the Amazon,
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: and it turns out he might be one.
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: It changes everything a little bit. I'm just saying.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: He knows what's going on.
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: Come on, now. Well, this, you know, Lucy, you've dealt
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: with him many, many times over the years. But this
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: was weird because Nora, in this last year, you have
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: joined the show. And we were already like sitting down talking.
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: I think you were already an episode or so in
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: when suddenly this like Doug Jones love like leapt out. Like,
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: I don't even think I brought it up. And I
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: was just like, wait, how is it that either I
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: am a beacon that calls all hardcore Doug Jones fans.
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: Because they just keep finding their way to the show.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Or everyone loves Doug Jones. I'm not sure. It's probably
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: that one. He's the most delightful human. Oh, yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: Are you kidding?
• 11:22
  Speaker 13: It's a thing.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: Taking all my energy not to be really weird right now.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Pan's labyrinth has been.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: One of my favorite movies.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: Since I was like 14 and first thought now I
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: watch it without the subtitles because I know what's going
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: on I've seen it so many times.
• 11:36
  Speaker 13: It taught you Spanish I.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Know that's kind of precious well we actually watched it
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: in my high school Spanish class and at the time
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I was like this is a pretty violent movie to
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: be showing in a high school Spanish.
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: Class it was rated R yeah so good yeah I.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Love that movie but with that tie in I know
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: there were some things you brought up did you want
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: to throw any other before we delve into this week's
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: movie I know you were like A big Skin and
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: Bones fan.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I think there should be way more Wendigo movies. Like
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: an untapped market in horror movies. I think we should
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: do one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: I had to look it up when I was given
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: the script.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: What's a Wendigo?
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: That was a Wikipedia search. So scary.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Scary, so good. Thank you.
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: And that was kind of humanoid of me, too. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 9: looked like a guy-ish.
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: You started as a guy. I morphed a little into it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: A little more sickly is the thing going on. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: then you brought out The Candy Shop. Yes.
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: Oh, you saw The Candy Shop?
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: I did. A short film, ladies and gentlemen.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: Yes. In my grad school research, I did minor research.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: domestic human trafficking, sex trafficking. And so the short film
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: is about, it's like.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: An allegory sort of thing.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: He has this candy shop and the kids come in
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: and then candy comes out and all these old men
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: are buying them.
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: Lining up at my candy shop to buy the candy,
• 12:55
  Speaker 9: which is a metaphor for used up children. It was
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: a horrific imagery once you realize what's going on.
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: And you're so creepy in that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: I was, wasn't I?
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: The makeup and, like, the teeth.
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 9: I was a haggard old man that put on, like,
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: almost a clown makeup every day to be the face
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: of my candy shop and put the smile on to
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: greet my customer base. And it was just very disturbing,
• 13:18
  Speaker 9: as it should be. That's a subject matter that I
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: had no idea that sex trafficking was happening in our
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: country to that level at all.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: But, yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: But that short film was also backed by a group
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: called Street Grace, which is an Atlanta-based ministry to reach
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: out to kids and to seek help for perpetrators and
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: trying to just squelch the entire problem on all ends
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: of it because it is a multilayered problem. And that
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: film was used by them as an educational tool. So
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: The Candy Shop, it's on the line. If you go
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: to the Vimeo, I think, specifically and look for the
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: candy shop, you'll find a search there. Yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: So lesser known ones.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Doug Jones fans, check it out.
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, dive into the candy. Definitely more people need to
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: watch short films anyway. Trying to get those out to
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: the real world. Again, regular people. Right, right.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: And if a short film sucks, it's over soon.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: So it's not something you can invest in, right?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: I just thought maybe that was a real machine. Really?
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of kids. I eat candy. None of
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: that other stuff going on. I just said I eat candy.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: Screaming belligerent children.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: There were a few yesterday, actually. Now that I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: about it, I could have a giant sucker right now.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: Do you edit these shows?
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: You know these people. No, I'm a horrible person. So
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: my only other older one to delve into, and only
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: because on previous episodes recently, we keep running, again, for allegories,
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: we keep referencing the Morlocks and the Eloi. And in general,
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: but the fact that I was looking, I was like, oh, wait,
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: you were one of the Morlocks. The Time Machine.
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: The Time Machine. The 2000... It came out in 2002,
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: I was going to say.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: I think I wrote it down. Does that sound right? Yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 2002.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: The Time Machine remake from the 1960 version. Which, there's
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: good moments, and I think the casting on him was
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: pretty good, and that whole setup and the machine looks great.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: And so, yeah, I mean, it had some issues when
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: it got out there for people, but... For you, it's like,
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: how do you... Because I think that is, again, just
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: the Wells story in general is a pretty amazing look
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: at life. Again, our modern life and the future life,
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: sort of, in quotes. But, I mean... How much effort
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: was it to become a Morlock? Again, you usually get
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: thrown the makeup part of it, but was there anything
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: else going on in your preparation to become a Morlock?
• 15:59
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: Unlike the Morlocks of the 1960 version, the tubby blue
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: guys with weird white wigs, weren't they?
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. They're still pretty scary, but in a different way.
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: Didn't their eyes glow or something? Yeah. Budget and technology
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: had come a long way. By the time we did
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: our version of the movie. And the Morlocks, of course,
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: there were two different types of Morlocks. There were the skinny,
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: spindly ones like me that shot darts into the Eloi people.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: Of the future.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: And that was quite a concept, too. The Eloi people
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: were all like mocha-colored people. Which I think is where
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: we're heading. We're seeing more racial blend now than ever before.
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: So I think we're headed there. You can't, I mean,
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: you can't.
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: If we're all one race one day.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Then we can't be racial. Yeah, you can't be a
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: jackass if we're all the same color. That's what we
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: need to do.
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: There's no inequality when everyone's the same color.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: I'd love to feel that way now anyway.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: Wouldn't that be great?
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: But, so yeah, so that was an interesting concept that
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: I thought was thrown in with Samantha Mumba being Guy
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: Pearce's love interest. And so we Morlocks, I shot darts
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: into the Eloy people as one of the skinny people
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: spy Morlocks we were called. And they were the hunter Morlocks.
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: So there were the big lumbering smusley ones who would
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: then grab the Morlocks that were marked for devouring and
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: drag them back down under the earth, uh, to our,
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: our caverns below. Um, so yeah, so, so humanity, I
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: guess the concept was that humanity had split. So these,
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: you know, uh, people who stayed on land and, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: had racially mixed and then people, and then a human
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: faction kind of evolved into an underground dwellers, that consumed
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: the above ground dwellers. And so it's a, oh gosh,
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: to see humanity consuming itself. Again, I think it's.
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: A little closer to reality now.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: That's just it. There was an equality and a racial
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: thing happening that was beautiful to see on the surface.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: But then humanity had split into where we're actually eating
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: each other.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, it's just slightly throwing it into the
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: future a little bit. But you do see a society
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: that becomes nothing but the working class and then the
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: really rich class that do nothing all day.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: And I'm like, we're kind of.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: Fighting that rat. I don't know if we are anymore.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: I don't recognize the world now. Having grown up in
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: the 60s and 70s, it's like it's a different place now.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: I don't get it anymore.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: It's scary.
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: It's scary out there. When making the movie, I was
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: under a heavy prosthetic make-up again with arm extensions and
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: discomforts that come with all that is playing a creature.
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: Getting through my day, I never think of political or
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: social issues while I'm filming a movie like that. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: want to For me, creating a piece of art, it's
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: not up to the artist to tell you how to
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: feel about it socially or politically.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: I don't think.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: From where this artist is talking right now, I don't
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: feel that way. I feel that if I do, like
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: making a painting or a sculpture, a piece of music,
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: a movie, a TV show, all art, four different people
• 18:59
  Speaker 9: can look at that same piece of art and get
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: four different things out of it. And that's what art
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: should do. It should inspire whatever you need that day.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: So that's how I approach a movie idea. I go
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: into the story and the character and find out what
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: he's feeling and wanting out of the scene. And then
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: whatever the audience, it's not really art until somebody sees
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: it and appreciates it. And so that's the fun part
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: to watch. After my job is done, to sit back
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: and then watch the opening of a movie or the
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: premiere of a TV show on.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: The networks and TV.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: A computer. Or a computer now, yeah. To see the
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: reactions start happening. It's like, okay, now it's a piece
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: of art because it's being seen. You know what I mean?
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I love that because you get people that get
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: very highfalutin about their fancy paintings and anything in a museum,
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: but I always try to take that. that approach towards
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: film and TV as well. So I think all of
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: that is art. It needs to be kind of held
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: to those standards and kind of strive to bring something
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: like that to everything.
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: And I've seen artists of all those genres of art,
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: including filmmakers especially, that when an audience member doesn't quite
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: get it or has a criticism of, or this didn't
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: speak to me, in a Q & A at a
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: film festival especially, the filmmaker will tell that audience member, well,
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: you're just not watching it right. That is the worst
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: thing you can say. Because, no, no, they're watching, again,
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: they're the audience that we're playing to. They'll get out
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: of it whatever they get out of it. Our job
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: is to make the art, period, and not tell them
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: how to watch it.
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, I feel that with most of these things.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Unless it's Waking Ned Devine, then I'll tell you exactly.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: How to watch it. Good, we'll get to that. In fact,
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: let's take our break and come back and get to
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: the movie.
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas,
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: far away from dry land and its bitter memories, casting
• 21:22
  Speaker 12: out my sweet life for the band I'm in love with. Oh,
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: ceiling bearing down on me. Say the starry sky above
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: with light in my.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Head.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: You in my arms.
• 21:41

  Speaker 5: It's time for Sofa Theater.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: In 63 countries around the world, dozens of lottery machines
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: spin hundreds of lottery balls. It takes seconds for the
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: losers to realize they've lost. But for the winners, it
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: is an event which will undoubtedly change their lives forever.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Has the news reached Philly Mall? Nobody knows but the winner.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Good night.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Is there a greater twist of fate, winning, and the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: next minute die from the shock of it?
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Hello, National Lotto.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Now, I wanted to talk to someone about a claim
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: that I've been making.
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: If the Lotto Man comes to the village, you say
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: that Ned Devine is alive and well.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And you point your finger to Michael O'Sullivan.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Ned wants us to share the winnings.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: Do you think you can outsmart the man from the city?
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: Would you happen to know a Ned Devine?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: Well, I can take you to Ned Devine's house if
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: you want.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: All right, Torrin, coming up here. Will you drive a
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: little slower, mister?
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: Are you on tour with the directions?
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: You're going too fast, yes. Uh, yes?
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: Michael's in with a man from the lotto.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: He's never told a lie in his life.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Well, he's making up for it now, so.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Big win, is it?
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Six million.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: Yoo-hoo!
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: 894,000.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: 620 pounds. How does that make you feel?
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Fox Searchlight Pictures presents.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: I'll just have to.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Come back to the village and make some inquiries. I'd
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: like to make sure that you are Ned Devine. A
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: comedy that will make you feel.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: like a winner.
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: To Ned Devine.
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: For Ned.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: Waking Ned Divine.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: This fall, odds are, you'll get lucky.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: All the money that e'er I had I spent it
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: in good company And all the harm I've ever done Alas, it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: Was to none but me.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And all I've done for want of wit To memory
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: now I can't recall So fill to me the parting
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: glass Good night and joy be to you all.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: Usually we'll throw out the IMDb. And if I remember,
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: the description is very basic, so we don't.
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: Have much to throw out. It's a very basic story.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: It's a very uncomplicated movie.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: That's what I love about it. I think I kept
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: waiting for more to unfold as far as extra, bigger issues.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: And then as it goes on, I'm like, no, we're
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: just focusing on this.
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: You know me by now, Bri. All the movies that
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: I've requested we review are simple, feel-good... personality-driven movies.
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: This one's a little different, though. It wasn't a total romance,
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: so we veered into a different area.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: I thought you'd be proud of me for not being
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: so mushy this time.
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: Branched out a little. All right. So this week's Super
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Theta feature is Waking Ned Devine. The year is 1998.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: The director, that was the one I couldn't really remember,
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: director Kirk Jones, and the plot, simple as it is,
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: according to IMDb, When a lottery winner dies of shock,
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: his fellow townsfolk attempt to claim the money. Spoiler alert.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: We're going to run this up.
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: Go watch it now.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: And if you're trying to put it on your letterboxd,
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: I noticed there is no Waking Ned Divine.
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: On all four letterboxds?
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: You can find Waking Ned. And it brings up that poster.
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: So I'm like, did somebody just get lazy when entering
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: the title?
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: No, apparently that's the British title.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Is it the actual?
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: Only in America is it Waking the Divine.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: Well, no wonder. They're just fancier and more international than
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: we are.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: That was a little bit of trivia. British people. More accurately, Irish.
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: Well, the movie came out of Ireland.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: They're welcome to call it whatever they want. By the way,
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: today's St.
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: Patrick's Day while we're recording this. I thought this was
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: very apropos.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: I saw that coming this week, and I was like,
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: how devious was Doug? Did he blend this out?
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: Waking Dead of Mine has always been a favorite of mine,
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: along with Somewhere in Time and Notting Hill, which we
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: have reviewed.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: We have covered.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: But yeah, so I didn't know. It was just like,
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: that's one we haven't talked about yet. And it's a
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: mere coincidence that it's on St.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: Paddy's Day.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Chismet.
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: That's amazing.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: It's all coming together. It's the luck of the Irish.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: And definitely the most Irish movie I've ever seen.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: Maybe The Commitments. Although not shot in Ireland. Well, they're
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: just sneaky jerks. Where was it shot? Isle of Man.
• 34:55
  Speaker 13: Because the whole movie, I was like, oh, my God,
• 34:56
  Speaker 13: I want to go to Ireland.
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: I want to go to Ireland.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I want to go to Ireland.
• 34:58
  Speaker 13: And then I was like, oh, oh, no, I want
• 35:00
  Speaker 13: to go to the Isle of Man.
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: Is that in one of the– like the Isle of Jersey,
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: those isles?
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: Is it like somewhere between– in the English Channel between
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: England and France in there somewhere?
• 35:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, British Protectorate somewhere.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, somewhere in there.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: Okay, okay. Wherever they could get the tax break, you know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: And the scenery. Stunning.
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: And he takes advantage of that. Oh my goodness, those giant,
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: beautiful tracking shots.
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: Yes, that's what I'm saying.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: So we set up, again, from the very beginning, they're
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: doing the voiceover of the news and kind of setting
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: up the lottery thing. So from the beginning, we don't
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: even get very far in before they're throwing out this
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: whole little setup. And we have one of our main
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: characters playing this fun little game with his wife. which
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: is not really that funny. I don't mind her smacking
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: the hell out of him because he kind.
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: Of earned that.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: I love their relationship. The old crusty couple, the old
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: comfortable pair of shoes. That's where Mrs. Laurie and I are,
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: by the way, now. Our next anniversary in less than
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: a month now will be our 35th.
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: Do you believe that?
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: I love that.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: So we're turning into that couple and waking the divine.
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: We're just like.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, get off your ass. You know, whatever it is.
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: And if we know that love's there without having to,
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: you know.
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: Worry about it. You've got the bonus. You don't have to, like,
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: ask her to get a beer. You're like, you've got
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: Doug arms, so they just kind of reach way over
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: and get to the refrigerator.
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: Go, go, Doug arms, and you just get yourself a beer.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: So that's fine.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: I'll get me own bangers and mash.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: Oh, Lord. So that is one of my takes. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: don't really leave my part of the world because I'm
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: too broke most of the time, aside from going to
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: a random convention. But I'm watching this going, man, it
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: rains too much in Ireland.
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: I'm like, I can't, I can't.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: I can barely handle it in my dumb town, so
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: if it's just all day, every day, I'm like.
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: I was just there at Dublin Comic Con a couple
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: weeks ago, and it was raining the entire time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: I was there. What a treat.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but that's where you get the green from. Come
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: on now.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: I suppose.
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: It ain't going to be green without the rain.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: That is a lot of green and a lot of rain. So,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: I don't know. How quickly do we want to jump
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: to the goings-on? Because I think... Well, let's go! I mean,
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: I think by the beginning, we already start, like, before
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: we even learn about the ticket, we start getting a
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: lot of this, like, well, if I had the money.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: And so it starts setting up this sort of, like...
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: It's not a rich town that we're living in here.
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: But it's the same thing. Cause I just, I brought
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: up the same little like story art kind of thing
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: in the Buster Scruggs that we just watched. I'm like,
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: to me, when you've got like this ideal setting and
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: like these, these again, from a different perspective, this sort
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: of perfect little life. And like you said, this perfect
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: little couple and they've got this nice little house and
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: everything's great, but they're like, There's still this weird longing
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: of like, well, if I had the money, I would do...
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: I'm like, but you're kind of... Aside from the rain,
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: you're living in paradise and you love the person you're with.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: Like everything... It's like it's people that don't acknowledge the
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: great things that they already have in their life when
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: they're busy looking for the gold or the lottery ticket
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: or whatever it is that, you know, is somehow going
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: to take them to the next level and make them
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: happy when realistically, hopefully, they're already there, but nobody... People
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: in general, I guess, don't acknowledge that. Yeah.
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: And this town, you don't think they acknowledge what they
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: had already?
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: I think all of it. And I think that's what I...
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: what i get to before the end of it so
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: i'll come back to that but yeah i think even
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: that like that's something even i try to do now
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: like for as pitiful as my life became for quite
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: a while i'm just like at this point i'm hanging
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: out with my dogs i try to appreciate my dogs
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: and like i try to stop enough to acknowledge even
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: what things i have that are pretty great at times
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: at moments so i'm like i don't know i think
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: this immediately tapped into that same feeling of like out
• 39:04
  Speaker 8: in a feel digging for gold when the scenery around
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: you is the most gorgeous paradise ever and like so
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: yeah it was kind of that same feeling but.
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: I think the screenplay kind of tipped that off at
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: the beginning though because when he goes to the beach
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: to see his friend he's like hey did you win
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: the lottery and the friend's like would i be sitting
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: on the beach if i did and.
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: That's what yeah i wrote that down as i got
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: there i was just like yeah i hope so if
• 39:26
  Speaker 8: you're doing this right so yeah i thought that same
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: at that same moment that's when it started planting that
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: and I'm just like no all of this like they're
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: just kind of missing what's right in front of them
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: the whole.
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: Time but that's kind of the fun of this movie
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: for me personally is that here's this town that's thriving
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: on all those points that you just taught life they're
• 39:48
  Speaker 9: thriving in life But here's this thing that's introduced, like
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: millions of dollars or pounds.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: What are they using?
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: Euros now? So what does that do to upset that
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: world or to change it or to enhance it or whatever?
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: And what I loved about it was this entire town
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: coming up with a caper, like a way to outfox
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: the lottery system and come together and pretend that one
• 40:18
  Speaker 9: of them is who's still alive and well. Oh, gosh.
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: But can I just say that one of my favorite
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: scenes was when they found Ned dead in his bed
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: and they're trying to put his teeth back in. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: they get to giggling, the two friends. And that friendship
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: was just lovely for me to watch. I forget the
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: character names now, of course.
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: Those two are pretty good. And the guy who ends
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: up playing Ned is pretty great. He is one of
• 40:45
  Speaker 8: those I've seen in so many other things. So many
• 40:46
  Speaker 8: other things.
• 40:47
  Speaker 9: The skinny little fella. He's got such a great character.
• 40:49
  Speaker 9: That's who I want to be when I die. When
• 40:51
  Speaker 9: I hang up the rubber bits for good, I want
• 40:52
  Speaker 9: to be that guy in movies everywhere. It'll just be
• 40:55
  Speaker 9: easier to put fake teeth in when you don't have them.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: So you got to keep doing it.
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: Don't hang it up. It's just easier to put in
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: false fangs when you don't have any real teeth.
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: Exactly.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: And those two friends running off and running amok and
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: being the leaders of this town-wide caper.
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: Or teenagers, essentially. The funniest thing about the wife is
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: she just kind of shakes her head the whole time.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: She's like, these idiots.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: She bursts into the pub, right?
• 41:22
  Speaker 9: And she says, have you seen the boys?
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, exactly.
• 41:24
  Speaker 10: I'm like, no.
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: Kill him yeah yeah he's the mom that moment was
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: just like yes yes my best friend rex and i
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: uh laugh about that all the time because we're the
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: mrs laurie would come after us like that have.
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: You seen the boys i'll kill him what's that dug
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: up to this time exactly i so related yeah but
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: that was one of those like as i got in
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: because i knew this by title i remembered even i
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: think the the poster but i was like i got
• 41:51
  Speaker 8: a few minutes in or once once the lottery we
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: got a little bit into it i'm like year is
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: this because it was it was stuck in time so
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: much i was just like yeah and and but i
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: guess because it's in ireland maybe things are a little
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: more simplified or or we're in this tiny little town
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: but i'm just like i don't think any of this
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: so i kept getting like 20 minutes ahead of where
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: their plan was thinking wait so no you're gonna have
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: to like i kept coming up with the lee i'm
• 42:16
  Speaker 8: like you're obviously gonna have to well they also didn't
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: specify that he'd signed the ticket till way further in
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: so i'm like why would you need to, if you
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: just grab the ticket, like, why would you need to
• 42:26
  Speaker 8: pretend to be Ned? But they did at least finally say, oh, well,
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: he signed the ticket, so now somebody's got to be Ned.
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: Got to be Ned, right, right, right. That, I was like,
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: they could have dropped that a little earlier, so I
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: wasn't arguing with them already. Right, right, right. Like, no,
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: just take the ticket and run. He's Ned, who cares?
• 42:40
  Speaker 8: I know, I know, I know.
• 42:41
  Speaker 10: I didn't know why they just didn't add their names
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: to the ticket.
• 42:43
  Speaker 13: That seems like it'd be a lot easier.
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: Oh, we brought one in together.
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, sure, good point.
• 42:47
  Speaker 13: I didn't think it would have been a very good movie.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right, yeah.
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: Or you'd think that the lottery guy would ask for
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: some form of photo ID.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: That's why I was like, what year is this?
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: You couldn't Google Ned Devine and see that that's not him?
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: Back in the day when they didn't do any sort
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: of checking on anything?
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: You said 1998, so the Webber net was not what
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: it is today.
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: Certainly, yeah. Not used as much. But even, I'm thinking
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: ahead to now, I'm like, now you're getting DNA tested
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: to women i know i know i know now there's
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: no hiding like i know there's no killing your friend
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: and taking their ticket like right which would happen with
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: most this one at least they found him i didn't
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: even have.
• 43:27
  Speaker 9: Email till 1999 so someone's gonna say that.
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: Okay the doug jones experience but um yeah that was
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: one of those like i kept getting like several jumps
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: ahead because they do they'll they'll go on their side
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: story and they'll go on i'm like but how are
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: you going to get to the point where you have to, like,
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: he's going to come to town and he's going to check, right?
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: And then they get there and I'm like, oh. he's
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: not checking very hard. Then I'm like, but they're going
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: to give you a check. What are you going to
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: do with that check? And then like 20 minutes later,
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: they're like, we can set up a bank account. I'm like,
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: you guys, you're killing me with it.
• 44:02
  Speaker 13: That's what you get for being so smart.
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: I'm not smart at all. That's the thing.
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: I turn off my brain and just go on the
• 44:08
  Speaker 9: ride they're giving me. That's how I watch it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: I just start working on the scam.
• 44:12
  Speaker 13: That's what you get for being a criminal mastermind.
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: Or a mastermind, maybe just a criminal.
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: But.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: The, yeah, I just kept like the whole time starting
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: to jump. Again, I think I get too logical as
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: we've seen with our time traveling movies where I'm just like,
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: but how does, no, but you can't just a coin
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: and then you'd magic. I know, I know. I kind
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: of did the same thing with this where I'm just like,
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: but they're going to, it's a giant check and you
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: pose for a photo and then you can't take that
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: check to your bank. So yeah, I start trying to
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: think outside of the plot and I need to just
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: hang out in the pig farm and enjoy the pigs.
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right. The pig farmer. Oh, I didn't love that.
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: And him and his fruity soaps.
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: I'm using fruity soaps. You smell like a pig. That
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: is a fun running. Because there's a time where they
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: came into the bar and they hand him the soaps.
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, that's a weird thing to bring a
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: random dude at the pub. And then later, like, obviously
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: he needed some fruity soaps.
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: I loved all the setups. There were so many of
• 45:12
  Speaker 10: those that didn't pay off until like 30, 40, 50
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: minutes later.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: Yes, I know.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: Now i have issues with maggie maggie oh she's a
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: monster to me i'm like.
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: That was the town lady the old lady no the
• 45:25
  Speaker 9: young lady that he's in love with and i'm like
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: if you don't love him whether he's a pig farmer.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: Or not screw you maggie i don't know i was
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: that was that was hard to get in because the
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: the plot was selling still selling it like we're supposed
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: to like her as a character and i'm like Otherwise,
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: I guess I do. The side scenes where you're talking
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: about your kid, you seem nice enough, but the fact
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: that you're selling this guy down the river because he
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: has a lame job or he doesn't have much money,
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: and I'm just like, but you love him, right?
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: I think it was simply about the smell, honestly. To me,
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: that's all I got.
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: Just convince him he needs to get another job.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: Well, but also, like, you... You had relations with that
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: really old man?
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: They didn't really... Yeah, I kind of like... At the end,
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: they dropped that. I'm just like, so... Okay. That was hilarious.
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: That was hilarious.
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: I loved it. Plus, I thought that also made.
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: When a storyline is doing something that's illegal, it always
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: makes me feel guilty for rooting for them. You know
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: what I mean? But that was the part where I
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: was like, okay, well, then there is a direct descendant
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: in the mix of... who graciously said, no, the town should,
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: let's just all share it. I thought that was great, myself, that,
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: you know, that, like, his Ned Devine son was there, right,
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: and could have just, she could have claimed all of
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: it for him, right, as the next of kin, I guess.
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: But letting the whole town continue their, quietly and selflessly
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: doing that was just a nice message about humanity, I think.
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: Right? Come on. I think it was interesting that by
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: the end in the wacky chase scene where it's like, okay,
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: so not the townsfolk, they're fine. But the story, the
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: writer himself is like, it's okay if this gets to
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: the point of death. We can kill someone as long
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: as these people get away with it. I mean, that's
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: the writers doing. Granted, within the storyline, it's just bad luck-ish,
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: sort of. But I'm like, we kill off the old
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: lady who was about to out them.
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: And it was an accident.
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: But not the writing end of it. It wasn't an accident.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: I'm saying the story is saying it's okay if we
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: kill somebody.
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: It was one of the most hilarious movie deaths I
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: have ever seen in my life.
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: That old lady's a jerk. I'm with you on that one.
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: When she's going down to the telephone booth, because no
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: one has cell phones, I guess. That's right.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Back in the day.
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: To make the call that outs the entire town for
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: the illegal deed they're doing. And then a car randomly...
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: Driven by the priest.
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: By the priest. That's right.
• 47:56
  Speaker 9: It was so connected. I loved it. Watching that telephone
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: booth sail into the air, it brought up a cheer
• 48:02
  Speaker 9: in the theater I was in at the time. We
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: were all rooting for her.
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: Death, which was awful.
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: It was so innocent, though. It felt innocent to watch
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: this woman.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: Die and laugh about.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: It.
• 48:14
  Speaker 8: And that's the only thing I call into question by
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: the end of it. It's like, again, not the town's folk.
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: They seem great. But I'm like, from the writer, I'm like,
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: what are you saying? That not only is it okay
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: to kill this old lady, but also that by the end,
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: there's just sort of this, I mean, again, we, as,
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: as the audience kind of want to root for him
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: and we want to have like a happy ending, but
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: I'm like, we're also like ready to just shrug it
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: off and be like, that's okay. Cause money fixes everything.
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: So like now they can have a relationship because he,
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: he doesn't have to be a pig farmer anymore. So
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: I don't have to not love him because he, I
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: don't like his job because money fixes everything. I don't know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: That was just like the money part of it was
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: kind of creepy at the end. Don't get me wrong.
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: I have a Powerball ticket sitting at home waiting to
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: go check it. I am easily that evil and all
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: I do is want a giant empire built out of Powerball.
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: An influx of money can change your life.
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying I don't want it. I'm just saying, again,
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: like we said earlier, I'm kind of holding this to
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: that artistic standard of like, what are you trying to
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: say in this? So we, as the audience, get to
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: pick which way I watch it wrong. You can tell
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: me I'm watching it wrong.
• 49:25
  Speaker 9: You're watching it wrong.
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: But I, like to me, that became, and I, Again,
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: real critics will call you out because you're supposed to
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: watch the movie that's there and not make up your
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: own as you go along. Which is what I did.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: But by the end, I was like, to me, and again,
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: kind of basing it in that story earlier of appreciating
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: what you already have. I'm like, wouldn't it be great
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: if you wrote this as like, we don't bring the
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: lottery official guy in to do a lot of that
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: until the end of the movie. So the whole rest
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: of it, the whole town's like scurrying around trying to
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: get this big scam together and kind of working together
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: and getting all these relationships built that, you know, kind
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: of happened over the course of the film. And then
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: at the end, like, you know, the magical Irish wind
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: blows the lottery ticket out to sea. And then they're like, mm,
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: everybody loses out. But what they realize is that along
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: the way, they've built all these friendships. And they've learned
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: to kind of rely on these other people in their
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: town that have always been there. And maybe they should
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: have always been appreciating this. And that money didn't need
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: to be involved for them to be happy and to
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: find all these great people. And that's what I kind
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: of wanted from it. And then it went, nah, money's great.
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, you're right. I do want money, but...
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: And that's part of the laugh of it, though, I think, right? Yeah.
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: And this is what occurred to me while watching it.
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: It's pro-money because it's pro-lottery.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: No, no, but the British film.
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: Industry is funded by lottery money. So really, it is
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: in their best interest, the film industry, especially the independent
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: film industry, to keep the lottery going. So the movie
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: starts out with a shot of the cosmos, which is
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: like the cosmos and the lottery.
• 51:02
  Speaker 13: And then by the end, it is very important.
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: There you go. I know that's true, not just in Ireland.
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: A lot of countries use their lottery money to fund
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: specifically the arts and independent films. So, like, we don't.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: We don't. We pretend like it goes towards education and
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: look at our population. We're stupid. So, obviously, we're not
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: spending it on education.
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: No.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: So can we fund some independent films with our lottery
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: is what I want to know. But yeah, it is
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: funny that the whole thing is kind of a commercial
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: for the lottery fund. I know.
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: And try to thwart the lottery because you're going to
• 51:33
  Speaker 13: get thrown off a cliff.
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah. It's okay as long as you keep buying your tickets, guys.
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: It's all right.
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: Seven million pounds is a drop in the bucket compared
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: to what we keep making every week. So it's okay.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: You can put a scam on us every once in
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: a while.
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: Precious.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: So many of my side tangents. So did anyone else
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: have any other weird avenues to go down? You have,
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: as you know, Nora always has mini notes.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: Just like as I'm watching it. I loved that when
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: they all agreed to the plan, they got a glass
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: of whiskey. when they all lined up at the table.
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: I feel like that's not an unusual thing in Ireland.
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: And then as soon as they all agreed to it,
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: they all went to the bar and totally overcrowded the bar.
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: And I was like, man, they're.
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: Both having a good time.
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: That's like going to Grandma's for Christmas. It's a very
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: family feeling about that.
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: I loved it. That's part of my upbringing, so I
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: can make fun of Irish people. Of course you can.
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: Drunken people. That's what we are. It's fine. I have.
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, um... There was one part where Michael, who was
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: the tall, skinny, older man, was on his motorcycle and shirtless,
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: and he had so many wrinkles that he looked like
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: the pale man.
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: From Pan's Labyrinth. Let's do a tie-in, shall we?
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: I never even thought that was long before I did
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: Pan's Labyrinth. I never even put that together.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: You were inspired by Waking Dead.
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: Now, seeing the TV ads for the movie, that was
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: the shot that they kept showing in the movie trailer
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: for the 30-second trailer, because that was the big laugh.
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: Have you seen Waking the Divine? Is that the one
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: with the naked guy on the motorcycle? No, that was
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: the image everyone called.
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: I downloaded something like that the other day, but I
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: think that was different.
• 53:12
  Speaker 12: Child, child.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of weird stuff on the internet, I'm
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: just saying.
• 53:20
  Speaker 10: Let's not forget there's not one, but two naked centenarians
• 53:23
  Speaker 10: on motorcycles.
• 53:24
  Speaker 8: The same motorcycle.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Precious, right?
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: Bless their hearts.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: Real friendships.
• 53:30
  Speaker 8: But that's also that moment is like, you're watching and
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: I'm like, okay, it's funny, but this is like wacky
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: movie logic. Because at any point in your real life,
• 53:39
  Speaker 8: would you ever... Throw down your clothes to go do
• 53:42
  Speaker 8: whatever crazy scam you're in the middle of.
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: If you're not thinking and you need to get there
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: fast enough.
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: I think there's just a basic.
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: That's wasted time.
• 53:48
  Speaker 8: There's a base. At least like hang on to your
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: pants and throw them over while you're driving. And then
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: when you get to a stoplight.
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: Then shimmy them on real quick.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: You get up next to the car next to you
• 53:58
  Speaker 8: and put your pants on. You're being too logical. This
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: is what I get myself in trouble with.
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: Those Europeans are just so much less uptight about nudity.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: It's normal to go for naked motorcycle rides with your
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: best friend.
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: The word friendship you brought up, another favorite scene of
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: mine was the funeral. They had Ned's funeral, but they
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: faked the name up. I'm forgetting character names now, but
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: when the heavier guy is talking about the skinny guy
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: and doing that whole... Summing up his eulogizing his best friend.
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: If you could be at your own funeral.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: It was such a great moment.
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: And that's the thing. There are so many great scenes
• 54:41
  Speaker 8: in it. And that is one of those that you're
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: just like, oh, no, this is where you spent your
• 54:45
  Speaker 8: writing time. Like, putting his little speech together is great. Oh,
• 54:48
  Speaker 8: of course. This is why the loopholes are over here.
• 54:50
  Speaker 8: But when it comes together, like, that speech is pretty amazing.
• 54:54
  Speaker 8: Especially with the guy sitting there.
• 54:55
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 54:56
  Speaker 9: It's a powerful moment. It's a speech we all want
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: to hear from our best friend, I think, at some point.
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: If we could hear our eulogies before we die, that
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: would be great. Reminds us to tell those we love
• 55:05
  Speaker 9: that we love them, I think.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: We love you, Doug. Just Doug, though. Nobody else. Just
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: throw your affections towards them. Ignore your loved ones. Any
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: other weird facts?
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: Just so many quotes that I really enjoy.
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: I want to hear quotes.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: When they find Ned dead and then he's going on
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: about some chicken dinner. I don't really remember why, but
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: he goes, there are two things we need to do
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: before we go, Michael. And by far the chicken dinner
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: is the least gruesome. I liked that one.
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: Chicken dinner. I don't know.
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: My weird again like the rest of it kind of
• 55:54
  Speaker 8: holds because it's such a simplified story everything kind of
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: flows together the only thing that stood out was the
• 56:00
  Speaker 8: weird preacher and the kid scenes were so disjointed I'm
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: like I kept waiting I'm like are we going to
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: a creepy place here and I was like I don't
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: think so because the tone of this movie isn't that
• 56:11
  Speaker 8: but then I was just by the end I'm like
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: we're not but they seem so the only thing it
• 56:16
  Speaker 8: helped I was like it at least gives you a
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: little bit with the kid so we're invested in him
• 56:19
  Speaker 8: because otherwise that kid has very few scenes that aren't
• 56:23
  Speaker 8: the ones with the preacher. So it's like, they just
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: felt so forced and like not really connected to anything
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: else going on. It was just like, Hey, how's things.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Going with you? All right.
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: You're doing an okay job as a preacher. And like,
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: it was just so like random conversations with these two.
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, all right, let's get back to the scam.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 56:41
  Speaker 8: I don't know what you guys are talking about over here,
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: but they seem so like forced in there that I'm like,
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: was there something else that he was going to build
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: that into? And then just went, they're fine.
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: We just we need to see the kid a little
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: bit so in a town like that in ireland like
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: the the preacher vicar is going to be a huge
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: part of that community so maybe that's it well.
• 57:00
  Speaker 8: I thought that was an interesting thing that he wasn't
• 57:02
  Speaker 8: the regular guy for the time that he was the
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: implant that was there kind of filling in while the
• 57:07
  Speaker 8: other guy was gone so there could i feel like
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: i've been more done with that like his perspective especially
• 57:13
  Speaker 8: being like in a in a story that's kind of
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: blurring the lines of what's right and wrong here. Morality, yeah.
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: That he should be the outsider, kind of being like, well, guys,
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: is this okay? It seems like he'd be the moral...
• 57:26
  Speaker 8: figure to step up and be like is this really
• 57:29
  Speaker 8: the right thing but in like one line they're just
• 57:32
  Speaker 8: like it keeps filling up the collection plate good enough
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: for me just like father what's his name will be
• 57:37
  Speaker 8: fine with it i'm just like he'll be happy with
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: that i was like oh well.
• 57:41
  Speaker 10: We had to set up the other preacher coming backs
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: to murder the woman that's right right.
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: Right right we had to have someone a murdering preacher
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: that's what we're right no he wasn't.
• 57:52
  Speaker 11: Murdering accidental manslaughter he'll get off it's fine yeah just
• 57:59
  Speaker 11: a minor traffic violation really sure polluting the ocean maybe.
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: With evil women gotta dig that call box out of the.
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: Ocean yeah snitches get thrown into the ocean.
• 58:14
  Speaker 8: Again, these are the lessons it's teaching us.
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: Classic saying.
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: I keep looking at it from the writing standpoint more
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: than the story standpoint. I'm like, yeah, this has some
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: very specific points it's trying to make. Shut up and
• 58:28
  Speaker 8: take the payoff.
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: Keep your mouth shut.
• 58:30
  Speaker 8: Keep your mouth shut.
• 58:34
  Speaker 13: I also did worry about that little boy not having
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: a peer group.
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's just the only child.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: He's the only child in the entire town. That's true.
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: Good point. That is a weird town that, like, everybody
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: was old. Yeah, it was a childless town. I guess
• 58:47
  Speaker 8: that's why that poor young girl hooked up with an
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: old man.
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 58:50
  Speaker 8: I have nothing but a pig farmer and a bunch
• 58:52
  Speaker 8: of old dudes. This is my crop.
• 58:54
  Speaker 9: At least he didn't smell like a hog.
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: Enough. At least Ned was nice and Irish fresh. That's right.
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: I couldn't resist him. He smelled clean. Fruity soaps and whatnot.
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: Fruity soaps.
• 59:06
  Speaker 6: Also, did you notice at the end that the kid
• 59:08
  Speaker 6: is like smoking a cigar at the back? Yeah. And
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: holding what looks like a glass of wine or something?
• 59:13
  Speaker 8: He's rich now, of course. He can do whatever he wants.
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: Where did that come from?
• 59:17
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 59:17
  Speaker 9: Again, the moral compass might have been off. There are
• 59:19
  Speaker 9: no adults in this town. They're all just like, again,
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: they're all teenagers.
• 59:24
  Speaker 8: Teenagers. They're all putting on this grand scheme to get ahead.
• 59:27
  Speaker 8: So at the end, it's like smoking? Sure, kid. Go ahead.
• 59:30
  Speaker 8: Want a booze? Here you go. Have some Irish whiskey.
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: You'll be fine. Yeah, here you go.
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's like a Benjamin Button situation. And really, he's
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: also like 75.
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: 75. He's the oldest member of the town.
• 59:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the town.
• 59:43
  Speaker 8: That's right. Oh, what else?
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: I'm going to play with your ear.
• 59:52
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 59:53
  Speaker 8: Doug does touch me a lot. Just letting you guys know.
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: I touch everybody.
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: That's true. I saw it yesterday.
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: You're the closest within reach.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: Right out in the middle of the room. A lot
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 8: of touching was going on.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: The way you put it, it sounds so dirty.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 8: It's touching with love.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: There's huggles and face cups. That's innocent.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: It's a lot of love. As I've said, if anybody
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 8: puts you on a pedestal higher than most people, Again,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: for those of you listening to the show normally, he's
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 8: hugged Misty and lives to tell about it. And she
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 8: enjoyed it. This is someone who doesn't leave the house
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 8: usually because she's so antisocial. But something special about Doug
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 8: allows it. So really, you are in your own special
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 8: breed of some sort because even the antisocial weirdos that
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 8: I hang out with enjoy the Doug hand faces and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 8: hugs and Yeah, it's surprising. There's something special about Doug.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 8: That's the new script I'm also working on. There's something
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 8: special about Doug, and it's going to be a rom-com.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: Can it be set in Ireland?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 8: In Ireland, and Doug's going to be riding a motor scooter. Yeah, naked.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: Hey, my next birthday will be 59. I'm getting close
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: to the saggy bits.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 8: We'll latex it up. It'll be fine. We'll encase you
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 8: in latex like every job you have.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, what else is new?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 8: So, I don't know. I've thrown out many of my
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 8: takeaways from this movie. Is there anything else? I guess
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 8: we can go with some of the better ones. Give
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 8: your good wrap-up of why you... What made this one
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 8: of those that you've kind of been drawn to over
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 8: the years?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 9: I don't know. Sense of community. And, yes, enjoy the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: place you've been planted, I guess.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 9: That's my takeaway.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: It is gorgeous when it's not raining. Yeah. And, like,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 8: everything else about it looks amazing.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah looking at the director's lineup like it's a lot
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 8: of weird like this was to me like the big
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: one that i'd heard a lot about and then like
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 8: all the others were like some strange choices and hadn't
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 8: done a ton since then it was like maybe six
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 8: other movies so yeah it was kind of but yeah.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 13: This was his debut right yeah.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 10: That's like a tremendous return on investment yeah it was
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 10: like a three million dollar movie made like 50.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 8: Million dollars like winning a lottery and that's why he
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 8: was broke from there on he forgot to work the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: deal out so that he made a good cut of
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 8: it oh lord all right okay do we um good
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 8: at least want to round things out with some stuff
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 8: you're working on now I think you brought up the
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: Nosferatu last time, but I assume you're much further into
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: the project. I didn't know about this.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: For those who haven't been following along the Doug Jones story,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: we've been talking about Nosferatu for a couple of years now.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: But it is finished filming and it is finished with
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: post-production now. And that was the big one, the post-production,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: because our version of Nosferatu... was made by the same
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: director who did our version of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: a remake that we did in 2005.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: Which, of course, in each of those, the person you
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 8: think Doug's going to be, Doug is.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Is it? Right, yeah.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 9: In Caligari, I was Cesare. And in Nosferatu, I am
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: Count Orlok, yes. And both movies are done by the
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: same director with the same technique of creating match shots
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 9: off the original silent films. and filming us in front
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 9: of a green screen element in every shot of the movie. Now,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 9: we have tables, props, chairs, door frames, cabinets. We have
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: things that we have to use practically, but there is
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 9: a green screen element to every frame of the movie
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 9: that is filled in with footage or a plate from
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: the old original film, both in Caligari and Nosferatu. And
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: so that means that I got to play in the
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: environment that Max Schreck got to play the same character in,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 9: you know, in 1922. So I'm very excited about that.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 8: Your color forms in yourself into the background of these
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 8: silent films.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 8: The way I'm thinking of it, I'm like, this is
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 8: kind of great because you do have this backdrop of
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 8: this thing that, again, movie geeks are kind of, well,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 8: just that set and that framework.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: Of course, of course.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: You're in the middle.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: And old silent movies, they did use... They held wide
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: shots for much longer than we do now. We punch
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 9: in for coverage now just to keep the story edited
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: and moving. But back then, silent films played like a play.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: They would cut in for select close-ups and tons of
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 9: wide shots. So that's how Heek was able to collect
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: all the information as actors would move around the screen
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: in a wide shot. they would reveal the set that
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: was behind them. So he could collect that visual information
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 9: and remove the actors entirely and create a clean set
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: with no actors in it. Plop us into it after
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 9: our green screen was shot.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: So, so I'm very excited to see this one put
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: together because, you know, Nosferatu is a classic. It is the,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: the classic of, of vampire movies. It started it all off.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: So ahead of its time, even just in filmmaking standards,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 8: it was, it was amazing.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: So, So I'm told that's done and it's been shopped
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 9: already at the marketplace of the Berlin Film Festival. And
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 9: distributors were clamoring for it. So I think we're going
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 9: to be seeing it this year somewhere. I don't know
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 9: in what format. I'm hoping for a theatrical run that
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: will at least be select cities in vintage theaters. That's
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: what I want. That would be awesome. If I can
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 9: host a Saturday night screening somewhere in Berlin. In Louisville.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 8: At the Kentucky Theater. Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington has the much
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 8: better theater. We tore down all of ours in Louisville
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 8: because we're stupid. I would love that. Or they're selling
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: burritos in one, if you want. Shoes in another frame
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 8: of an old one.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: Is that what happens to old theaters?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 8: I don't like this modern version of tearing down our
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 8: old theaters. But, I was going to ask because it is,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 8: I've seen some people have issues with doing so much
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: green screen work. Is it harder to Get into that
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 8: scene or get into what's going on with your character
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 8: when you're immersed in as much green screen.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 9: I appreciate that. What I appreciated about it was that
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: we're using so much of the old film. It's an
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 9: homage to the old film. It's in reverence of the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 9: original movie as opposed to trying to reimagine it and
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: rethink it and rewrite it. Ours is done with dialogue
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 9: and sound, so it's not a silent film as the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 9: original was. I don't want to read, but right. But the,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: but the dialogue is very, it fills in what you
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 9: were seeing. It actually does talk. Our dialogue and sound
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 9: does explain what, what the, what the silent movie was saying, uh, visually. Uh,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 9: so it, it is not, again, not a re-imagination, but
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 9: actually it was perfect. It was absolutely perfect. So, so that, ah,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 9: but I haven't seen it yet. So I hope, I hope,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 9: I hope that it's been cut together and plays out
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 9: as I imagine it in my head.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 7: Um, yeah.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 8: Um, The other one I was interested in was because
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 8: I'm a fan of the movie, the fact that they're
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 8: doing a What We Do in the Shadows TV show
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 8: is an interesting take, especially recasting kind of. Two of
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 8: the guys are sort of involved but behind the scenes.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 8: So we were bringing in new characters. So one of
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 8: those is you? Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 9: What We Do in the Shadows, the movie, was made
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 9: in New Zealand, of course. And it was kind of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 9: a mockumentary style Big Brother house, you know, kind of
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 9: a thing with vampires.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 8: I was pitching this to someone. Everyone at the table
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 8: was trying to describe. One of the guys last night
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 8: when we went to get food didn't know what it was.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 8: And we're all like, okay, it's like, it's a mockument. Okay,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 8: but then like, so trying to describe it. Everybody's so
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 8: excited because they love it so much. So yeah.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 8: It's a pitch for people who don't get it sometimes.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 9: Right, like the office meets Big Brother. Yeah, meets Nosferatu. Right,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 9: meets Nosferatu.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 9: And anyway, so the story, the TV series, it's not
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 9: the same characters exactly. It is a bunch of vampires
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: who have been sent to America to conquer the new world.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 9: And they never make it out of Staten Island.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 8: I'd go back and tell them we're a lost cause. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: Never mind.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 9: And it premieres on the FX network starting the episode.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 9: I'm in episodes one and five. And it will start
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 9: airing Wednesday, March 27th, I believe, if I've got my
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: calendar right.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 8: Do you know what the run was of that initial
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 8: ones that they shot? Did they do a box of
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 8: like 12? I don't know how many.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: I have no idea how many episodes this season is
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 9: going to be. So we'll find out. But they're running
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 9: ads for it now on FX Channel.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 8: It'll be interesting to see how.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 9: And it's drop dead funny. I'm not going to lie.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: And especially episode five, I was really funny. I don't
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 9: want to boast or anything, but yeah.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 8: Again, working with that team, especially the writers and director,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 8: I mean, they're all like so talented i'm gonna be in.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 9: A heavy makeup uh as you might have guessed so
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 9: so in episode one right off the bat you will
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 9: know who is me you'll know it's me the minute
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: i step out so yeah um.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 8: One of these days you're going to play a short
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 8: heavyset guy. Throw you all off.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: It's going to be the ultimate test.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 8: I know, I know, I know. They cast you as
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 8: an Oompa Loompa.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: It could be done.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 7: Take that, D-Bro.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 9: Take that. So anything else? And also on the FX
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 9: network I did an episode of Better Things, Pamela Adlin's show.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: She writes, directs, produces all herself. It's her entire project.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: I think she did it in conjunction with Louis C.K.,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: I believe, if I'm not crazy. Is that the one?
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: So she's been in cahoots with him as a comedian
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: for years. Very funny show. Very slice of life. She
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 9: plays a childhood actress who's now grown up and has
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 9: kids of her own but is still doing schlocky movies
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 9: here and there. I was in one of those schlocky
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 9: movies within the show. And I was like, you know,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 9: sort of an ogre, like monster-y, but cheesy, cheesy, cheesy looking.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 8: It was hilarious.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 9: And when the director should have yelled cut, he wasn't
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: paying attention. And so I end up staying, you know,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: standing up and going, you know, this really tense moment
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: where she and I are nose to nose. I'm about
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 9: to pounce on her. And that was when he was
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 9: supposed to yell cut, and he wasn't. So we're lingering
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 9: and lingering and lingering. And so finally I stand up
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 9: and say, is someone going to call cut or just
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 9: want to stand here with my tits out all day? Right?
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 9: So I was actually playing Doug Jones, but who goes
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 9: off on a bit of a tirade.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 8: He's known to do that.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 9: I was cussing about the heat and how they've been
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 9: treating us like animals. Oh, gosh. And she had to
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 9: calm me down, basically. So then I guess I have
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 9: a little cameo appearance two episodes later. So that's episode
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 9: two and four that I show up in, in Better Things,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 9: this season, season three. There you go.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: And the news came out that we are picked up
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 9: for season three of Star Trek Discovery. So we'll be
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 9: going back into production of that sometime this summer.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 8: It is interesting with all these new– options that even
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 8: something as big as cbs but yet streaming and then
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 8: FX is like funding their own show. So like there's
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 8: so many options now. You kind of never know what's
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: going to catch on.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 9: And you cannot keep up. Television, there's too much. What
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 9: was it? I went to the AFI Awards last year
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 9: with the Pan's Labyrinth, or not Pan's Labyrinth, with the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 9: Shape of Water team.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 8: One of those.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 9: One of those artistic wonder movies. But the AFI, they
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 9: were recognizing excellence in film and television. And when the
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: guy got up to introduce the TV categories... He said,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 9: I wish I was on the feature film team this
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 9: year because there are 450 eligible shows in the TV category.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 9: You can't keep up with all that. I don't know
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 9: how the Emmy.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's what I was talking about on the show.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 8: It's like, that's why I am glad we keep focusing
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 8: on movies because I can sit down for 90 minutes.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 8: But when it's. 12 or 20 episodes. It's like I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 8: can't invest that much time and get anything else done,
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: like make this crazy show.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 9: That might be why there's a trend of shorter seasons now.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the 12 block is a little easier to consume.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the 10 to 13 kind of range is more
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 9: common now. because there's too much and we're losing attention spans.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 8: Well, it's both because we're losing attention spans yet people
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 8: want to marathon 13 hours worth of footage and then
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 8: complain that the second season isn't out.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: It's all or nothing. But you might lose them if
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 9: you had a 22-episode show.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 8: They might lose interest halfway in.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 9: But it seems more doable to binge a 13-episode show,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: I think.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know. It is weird how much the industry's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: changed just in 15 years.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 9: Well, and on Star Trek Discovery, too, I think that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 9: the epicness, this is not like the old Star Trek,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 9: as in it's more budgeted and more cinematic than any
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 9: TV series in the franchise. So our episodes cost around
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: the $ 10 million mark per episode. That's like movie budgets.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: So to go a 22-episode season, and they take longer
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 9: to shoot each episode, too. We did nine months to
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 9: create our 14-episode season two. Nine months. So had we
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 9: gone 22 episodes, we would still be filming it now.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: We would never be done. So I think it's just
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 9: a practicality thing, too. If you're going to go that
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 9: huge and that cinematic, you can't do that many episodes.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 8: And bringing in big directors. I talked with Jonathan Frakes.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 8: And we discussed the Doug, obviously.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 9: Oh, did you really?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 8: He had wonderful things to say about you, too.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 9: That's very solid.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 8: I didn't know that. That's very sweet.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 8: Jonathan was pretty cool and has an interesting story himself.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 8: We kind of got into his weird path that led
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 8: him to being the respected director.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 9: There he is. Of course, he played number one on
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 9: The Next Generation, for those who don't know. He is
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 9: now directing so much. I met him. He directed a
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 9: couple episodes of Falling Skies when I was on the
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 9: TNT show. And so then when I got Star Trek
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 9: Discovery and he came in to direct, of course he
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 9: came in to direct a couple episodes last year and
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: this year. And his episodes are always... And he's one
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: of our favorites because he was an actor. He understands
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 9: us as actors. He also understands the reverence to the
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: lore and the canon. It's a shorthand for him.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's his life. Yes, he gets it.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: He totally gets it.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 8: He spends so much time on both sides of that set.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right, right.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 8: It's amazing.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 9: So that's more of that coming. And as far as
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 9: feature films go, I recently won with Mira Sorvino and
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 9: Paul Sorvino came out. It was kind of straight to streaming,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 9: straight to DVD.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 8: Um, mimic too.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 9: No, it's called beneath the leaves. Uh, I play a
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 9: serial killer.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 8: Uh, no, uh, yes.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 9: Who, um, who's done dastardly deeds and I break out
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 9: of prison. And so it's back on again. And, uh,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 9: Mira Sorvino is the lead detective coming after me and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 9: her dad, Paul Sorvino is, uh, is the, the police
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 9: chief and, and a whole bunch of young pretty people
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 9: in the cast as well. So, uh, uh, but yeah,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 9: so I don't show up and throughout the entire thing. So, uh,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 9: It's okay. It's okay.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 8: It's okay.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 9: I like Sorvino.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 8: They both kind of made a weird comeback because she
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 8: kind of stepped away for a few years.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 9: I think she was pushed away from what I understand.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 9: She was part of the Weinstein debacle back in the
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 9: day to hear her talk about it. She was a
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 9: legitimate part of the Me Too movement for sure.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: Definitely. But he's even come back, and I've seen him
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 8: in a lot more stuff in these last few years.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 8: That's awesome.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 9: Showing up in a cameo here and there is great.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: And boy, what an iconic face that man has. He
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 9: just reeks of mafia. You know what I mean?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 8: It's garlic.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: Based on the Goodfellas scene.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: Yes, right, right. He's a classic actor. Boy, when you talk,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 9: he's very intense to talk to. I love him dearly.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 9: I love them both dearly. Well, Mira Sorvino and I
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 9: have history, too. She did a season of Falling Skies
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: with us.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 9: And I was also, the movie I met Guillermo del
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 9: Toro on, Mimic, she was the star of.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 8: I said Mimic 2. Technically, there is a Mimic 2.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: There is a Mimic 2, but nothing to do with it.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 8: It's not great. Yeah.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: Maybe same studio, but nothing else was the same.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 8: The third one was actually, I don't know that you've
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 8: seen it.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 9: It was a third Mimic?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think that's the one because I talked
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 8: to the guy who directed it, and he was like,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: he was offered all these weird sequels and he didn't
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 8: really want to do any of them. But the thing that,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 8: that seemed interesting was I think the third one is
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 8: the one that they basically do rear window only with
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 8: mimic world. So it's someone from across the street watching
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: this weird mimic story go on and like, He was like, well,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's got the most potential. I'll see what
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 8: I can do with it. But yeah, it's interesting. The
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 8: second one I don't remember being quite as cool an idea.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 8: But straight to DVD sequels, you never know what you're
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 8: going to get.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right, right, right. So there you go.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 8: There you go.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: So I think that pretty much sums up my life
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 9: at the moment.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 8: At the moment.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 8: I'm sure there'll be many more things. Yeah, there you go.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 9: Yes or no. By the time I'm done with Star
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 9: Trek Discovery, I might hang up the rubber bits.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't know. You're doing a lot
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 8: more with your face.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 9: I love doing more things with my face. And I also,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 9: you know, I love the Hallmark Channel.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, I do. Yes, yes.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 9: So I would be the happiest thing if I could
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 9: do nothing but Hallmark Christmas movies from now on.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 11: And yet.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 8: They could do that many to keep you in your life. Well,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 8: they do.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 9: They produce 100 of me a year.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: It's crazy.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 9: So imagine me in a Christmas sweater, right? With my
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: cup of cocoa giving sound advice.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: To my granddaughter.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 6: Every day.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 8: I would love that role. Yes.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 6: You heard it here, Hallmark Channel.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get on it. Start putting this giant
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 8: contract together now. Yeah. The rest of your life will
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 8: be indentured to the Hallmark Channel. I would love it.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: Love it more than you know.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 8: Well, unless there's anything else to throw out there, Adam.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: I'm good.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 8: I thank you for once again coming on and continuing
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 8: to be part of the family as you are.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 9: How many does this make for us now? I don't
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: remember how many I've done of your show now.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: One of them we went on so long it became
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 8: two episodes. There was one sit down that went so...
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 8: That was the one where we were rolling around on
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 8: the couch, if you remember.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 9: Was that in Louisville?
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that was when you were shooting a Hallmark film.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 8: I just finished my Hallmark movie, yes! The ultimate legacy. Yeah,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 8: we did a whole one of just us rambling and
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 8: then a whole other movie discussion. So I think that's
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: got to be at least five.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I've done four with you.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 8: That was the only one you weren't at.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the only one I was at.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 13: I realized that three out of the four have charming
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 13: British people in them.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: I was like, okay, I think I get that. Do
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 8: you see a theme? He's secretly British. That Indianapolis thing,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 8: that's a scam.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 9: No, but that is my heritage.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 9: When I did that convention in Dublin, Ireland, I fit
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: in there.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: And they're a huggy-touchy bunch, too.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 8: I was actually very pleased. This is where it comes from.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: They're all just drunk, though. So far today, they're just
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 8: hopped up on coffee today.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 9: That's right, that's right, that's right.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 8: Wait till later in the day.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 8: Irish coffee.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 9: When the dark beer starts flowing.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 8: It is St. Patrick's Day. Okay. Green beer for everyone.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 5: Everyone.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 8: I think that about does it. Okay. Otherwise, that about
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 8: does it. We will return next time, probably with Doug.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 8: Same geek vibe, same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 5: Someone new, he's waiting in the car outside.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: It's all in the past now.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 5: Money changes everything. They shake your hand and they smile.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 10: And they bite.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: I'll see you next time.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 12: You know what you're doing.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 5: We don't know what day It's.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: All in the past.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: I have an odd request. Well, A, I just want
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: a picture with you, but B, I got these googly
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 6: eyes that you can stick on your hand.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 8: I was like, this can't be the first time someone's
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: asked him to do that.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 6: I was like, Brian, will he think I'm weird? And
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 6: he was like, I think he'll love it.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 8: I was like, I'm at a horror convention. I was like,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 8: you threw it out and I'm like, I don't think.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 9: That's the least weird request I've gotten.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 8: I don't think he's going to tell you no. I...
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 8: And it's not the first time I brought a prop
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 8: to a photo shoot. Actually, she's down across the street now. Specifically,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 8: I think the only time I brought a prop was
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 8: PJ Souls. I didn't bring a butcher knife. I didn't
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: even bring a phone. She said she's had a lot
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: of people that want to strangle her with a phone cord.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: I brought a spatula because I wanted to pose with
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 8: the Aunt Jemima treatment action. If you know Stripes, there's some.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 8: It's Bill Murray. He sits around the stove and Aunt
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 8: Jemima's there.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 8: I saw stripes.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: I don't remember this at all.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 8: It's very brief, but I was the one person that
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 8: latched onto that and brought a spatula to our photo.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 8: So I'm equally as weird.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 9: That sounds semi-kinky.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's kind of what I was going for.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 8: And she was into it.
