• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah i should have made a joke about it because
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: i always repeat every joke i've ever made on this
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: podcast in the next step.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Now those i do know yeah I've heard most of the...
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I heard those before you started telling them.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I expect to hear trucks again before this episode is over. Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Do you remember when there was like a big elephant
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: in this room? And I did the joke about the
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: elephant in the room. It was like I bought that
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: for my son, Jim.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I think you bought it just to make that reference.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: And he said, thanks, Dad. And I said, don't mention it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I think they can work that in... See, you should
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: take pride in that. It's like the other day I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: was at Kroger. And I was getting ready to walk in,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and they were doing some big remodeling and restructuring. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: a fellow who was like a clear Kroger manager, you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: they'll have those days where there's 20 Kroger managers all
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: flitting around doing God knows what.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: What do they do?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Rearrange the store.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Clocking.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: That's the important part.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: So it's like he had the two armloads of shelves underneath,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: just carrying them in from this truck of supplies.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: And.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I started to walk in about the same time he did.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And you had that awkward moment. So who's going to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: go through the door first. And I stopped and I said, Oh,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you can go ahead. I'm not shellfish. And he just
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like nodded and walked. And I just wanted to go
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and find him and be like, okay, now.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Did you, did you get the joke?
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: And you just didn't find it funny. Or did you
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: not get the joke?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Cause I'm really proud of like just the right moment
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that that, Dude, I saw you at.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: A grocery store one time, and you were in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: self-checkout lane, and something messed up, and the girl said,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: what did you scan? And you had the little liquor balls,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: and you said, I just scanned my balls.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'm proud you saw that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: I was glad to be there. I was glad just
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: to be there for that moment, and she did not.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Find that amusing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's like I just exist for bad puns.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: So many of my life's decisions have been pun-based. It's
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: really weird when I think about it. I was trying
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: to get a gift for my friend when he turned 60.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: And I was either going to get him Old Forrester
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: or I was going to get him... There's this Irish liquor,
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Slain Irish Whiskey. And I'm like, Old Foe for an
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: old friend. slain, I can't do anything with.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: That.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I do the same.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Like I'll be buying ties and I, I found one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that had like a decoration. It was like a novelty
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: tie of an ice cream Sunday. And I thought, you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know what? I, I'm going to wear this purposely on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: any of these days. And anyone who comments on how
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: much they like it, I'm going to be like, I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate compliment, but typically this is not a title to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: wear on a day like this. So that way they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: can be like, Oh, when would you wear it on
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a Sunday? I think, how can I... I want to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: buy this just so I can walk people into a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: stupid pond.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Yes, I know.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Way too much effort. It's a way of life.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It is a way.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: And the more you... The thing is, the.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: More you do it, the more natural they just sort
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of flow forth.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Do people hate you for it?
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think, wasn't it Wilde who'd made some statement along
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the line of like a... What was it? The success
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of a pun is in direct correlation with its insufferability
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: or some statement like that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I know Bernard Shaw in one of his plays said,
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: All the best puns have been made. It remains only
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: to achieve the worst.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is their only point, right? If there's
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: a good pun, what's the point? It's only good when
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it's painful, I assume.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: It's a job in and of itself. You see how
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: we went right into it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Speaking of segues.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: We were writing one earlier today.
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: We're going to do the grind, y'all.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Got you where I want you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: Girl, that thing is going to.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Be so good.
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: So good.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: So this is to get into again. It's been a
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: long time since we've had a version of the grind.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Occasionally we throw out a specific question and the topic,
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: and then we go down that road and several other
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: horrible tangent avenues. But yeah, only occasionally. So if you'd
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: like to, I did find our ongoing list. So now
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: we can dig back into some of those. But if
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: you want to add one, throw one at us, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: email in, let us know. But this one came originally
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: the concept many, many years ago, which I'll get to
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: in a minute. But the general idea is just jobs
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: in movies, either interesting jobs or the more you think
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: about it, the weirder it gets that a job exists
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: because of that. So there's several I have in that
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: little area of weird jobs that only exist in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: alternate reality that is this specific movie.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: So I have those two.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: But the one that originally inspired it, I remember sitting...
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: And it's funny, it goes back so far. When I
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: was thinking about it today, I was like, I didn't
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: even have a job the first time I saw this movie.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Are you familiar with the movie Offbeat?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: It's a fine 1980s vehicle starring Judge Reinhold. Back when
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: things starred Judge Reinhold, that's a pretty narrow number of
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: movies that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Not your side character... starring judge reynolds.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Pre or post fast times.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: It would have been post it's about 86 i believe
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: and it's again it's them really trying to put him
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: out there as the lead in a movie so the
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: concept in this is.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That was a fairly vain effort i mean he i
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong i like him but he's funny
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: he's not a leading man.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah i mean even in even in this movie he's
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: it's like the it's a big enough concept that like
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: you're fine you're more or less on board with The idea,
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: because once it's set in motion, you just kind of
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: have to write it out. Ruthless people, that was one good.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: That was a good one.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Other people's money. It's hard to put Danny DeVito in
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: a lead.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: He was selling those music speakers.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: But also, he took his job very seriously in Fast Times.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: That was part of the whole character thing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's definitely one we can return to. But this one,
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: his main job in the initial part is the more
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: important part to me. The entire gimmick of the movie
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: is his friend is a cop. So he like screws up.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: I was trying to like it's been years since I've
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: seen it. So I'm trying to even remember what the
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: real part of it was. I think he like messes
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: up a bust or something. And then like he's in
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: trouble with his friend and he owes him a favor.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: So his friend gets cast in some like charity event
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: they're doing where the cops have to like sing and dance.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: And he's like a manly man and he obviously doesn't
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: want to do that. So he convinces his friend to
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: go in place of him and just do this little
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: song and dance number. And then along the way, he.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Gets mistaken for an actual cop because he's wearing a uniform.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: And then hilarity ensues.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Speaking of good puns, offbeat.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: That's really clever.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's definitely.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: Of the mistaken identity, pretending to be something you're not,
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: which is another subsection I'll get to later. But, yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: that's like its own subsection of film in general. But
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: the most important part was, I remember in the beginning
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: of the movie, he's at his real job. Now, I'm
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: assuming this is New York, because most movies take place
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: in New York. Because he works in a huge public library.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: His job, because it's such a big library that they
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: can't even put all the books out on the shelves there,
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: he's in the basement of the library... and they have
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: people that come up to the counter and like want
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: to request a specific book and then they send it
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: down to him and his job is to go get
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: that book so he spends all day by himself in
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: the basement wearing roller skates and headphones listening to music
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: rolling around getting books and taking them to people and
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: never really coming in.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Contact with That sounds pretty cool.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Even that early on, I was like, that seems like the.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Best job ever. You're just kind of by yourself. You're
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: doing your own thing. You can listen to whatever you want.
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: You got roller skates if you want. So everything about that,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: I was like, this is a great job.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It's almost sort of like what you were describing at
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the art gallery, but without roller skates.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Well, it depends on the day of the week.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Except we had to deal with so many crazy people.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: That's just, we're a parade route for lunatics. No, really,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: we were. It was just crazy. And even the people
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that weren't lunatics were just super annoying. We had like
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: two double doors and one was locked and the other
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: one wasn't. And it had a sign that said pull.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: And people would come up and pull on the locked door.
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: And then switch and then try to push the other door.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: And then they reverse it a couple of times and
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: they just stand out there and like wave at you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: And shrug and be like.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: And I just wave back.
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: I was a jerk.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: In school for the mentally gifted.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: But I have a friend who actually works in a
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: library and it's super stressful.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. I know a couple of people now that
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: do and they're not thrilled with it. And the one
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: that I go to, which is nearby.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: There is a lady there now. Because that's the thing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: I'm still kind of like, doesn't seem like the worst job.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Even now I'd probably take it if it wasn't so
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: much trouble to get on there. And they just massively
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: cut our budget here. I'm assuming across the country, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: definitely here. But yeah, the lady that's at the.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: One I go to now.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Because now they've become like the de facto rental store.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Because they now have like.
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: Way more DVDs than I assumed that they would. And
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: get like newer titles than I would expect them to get.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: It's weird.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Even like.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Out by me, the Shepherdsville Library, the first time I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: just happened, after Walden Woolley closed, I thought, ah, I'll
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: go see what DVDs they got. And I walk in,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, they've got all these Criterion films. How often
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: are they getting checked out? And I'm like, I don't care.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Occasionally there's brand new releases. I'm like, wait, somebody ordered
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: this here?
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: What the hell?
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Or really weird stuff that I'm like, I can't believe
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: you guys even know what this is. Who's doing the
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: ordering here? So, yeah, just as a movie geek, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: was like, I want to investigate this.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: But the lady at the counter, oh, my God. Like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: she's just, to look at her, your typical old librarian lady,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: she doesn't speak.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: She barely looks at you. Even if you talk to her,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: she doesn't respond back.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: And, like, and this is what's taking up one of
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: the few jobs you guys have.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Like, if you'd like to keel over and let me
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: take the spot, I mean, feel free, but. Yeah, so
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: this is what you're dealing with now in the library.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: There's no roller skates on here. It's really a letdown
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: is what I found.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: You don't remember Seth from where we used to work,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: do you?
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I don't think so. Mostly it was just you and
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: I and that other crazy guy. So I rarely crossed
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: over with other people.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Well, he went on to work at the library. He was,
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: when we were casting the movie of where we worked,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: he was the one guy we never found anybody for
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: because he was actually better looking than than any actor
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: you could think of and it just seemed like everything
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: was a downgrade and you're supposed to get bumped up
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: if you're played by somebody and i mean.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Why is he hauling stuff around for a job i
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: don't know he's supposed to be a pretty boy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Model or something yeah he really should have been but
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: he you know he was a interesting guy um but
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: yeah he he works at the library and uh And
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: is very intense, intellectual, over my head.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: That backfires on you.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: So that's originally what set me down this road. And
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: for a long time, it just sat in the back
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: of my head as like, wow, that still seems like
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: a pretty fun job. And then we got to this
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: many years later. I was like, well, hell, this just
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: seems like an episode waiting to happen. So here we are.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: So do you want to throw.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Out other options or I have?
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: I got carried away and made a list of a
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: lot of things as I did preparing for this episode.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I had misunderstood and thought we were going to
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: be talking about greatest moments in film. And so I
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: thought about that for a while. I think I.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: You suggested that. I did.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: And we were trying to set up the time and
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: you said sounds good. About the time when we were
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: going to get together. And I thought, oh, are we
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: going to go with... I was just like tossing that
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: out to get the ball rolling. Now I got to
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: think of something. And all I really had for it was, uh,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: you know, one of my usual jokes. I had this
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: joke that when I try to think of the greatest
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: moments in film, four or five of them are in
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: the anniversary party. And one of them, uh, is now
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: I'm going to try to use all the movies I
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: was going to talk about in terms of greatest moments,
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: but in terms of jobs, um, One of them is
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: when Kevin Kline is trying to worm his way into
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: this movie that's getting made. And he says, but that guy,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: he doesn't have any gravitas. It's like it's written for
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: a 20-year-old. Come on. You can't play. It's like, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: that guy doesn't have gravitas. And he goes, and you
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: have gravitas. And he says, I have gravitas out the wazoo.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: And the thing I love about that, it kind of
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: relates to the idea of that the only secret in
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: magic is that it's an ugly secret. Because if it
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: was a beautiful secret, everybody would tell it. But it's
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: an ugly secret, nobody's proud of it, and so they
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: keep the secret amongst themselves. And that's kind of what
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: acting is like. The guy knows he can project gravitas,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: but in real life, he's just the kind of guy
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: who says, I have gravitas at the wazoo.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: That's also a line... Only specific people could pull off.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Kevin Kline being one of those, thankfully. Because that could
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: go horribly wrong with the wrong actors.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the other one is that, you know, speaking
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: of jobs and fast times, Phoebe Cates came out of
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: retirement for that movie. Mm-hmm.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Is she in retirement?
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: To play an actress who didn't work anymore.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: It's Kevin Kline's fault.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: And I believe she came out just to do the
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: PSA about when you have kids, you can't just put
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: your head in an oven anymore. And I think she
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: looks directly.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Into the camera.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: She's like, I'll do this role if you let me
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: do this public service announcement that nobody warns you when
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: you have kids. That you can't just end it anymore.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: You have to go on. So that was that. One,
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: do you remember the movie The Wrestler?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: I thought that was an interesting one because it's about
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: the job of being a pro wrestler, but it's also
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: about how this guy just keeps doing this job that's
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: killing him. And he just keeps... And I remember that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: We all feel like that, right?
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: Right, yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: And it's very compelling. I think that's what made it
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: a good movie in a way. It's like everybody can relate.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: You just keep doing this thing that's killing you.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Within it, one of my favorite scenes, both in it
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: as well as any Aronofsky film, is when he's at
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: this VFW hall for signing autographs.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: And.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: He's excited to meet what fans he gets, but there's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like a dozen people that show up over the course
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of the day. And there's just this really quiet little
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: moment where he looks around the room and he just
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: sees some of the other wrestlers at the tables just
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: sitting there waiting for someone to show up, like one
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: is in a wheelchair. It's this visual representation as to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: how physically debilitating the role is for very little payoff.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And it's almost sort of sad, but for him, it's
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: part of what he kind of lives for. I feel
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like that little scene in and of itself just speaks
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: so much to the character as well as just to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the particular role that he takes on.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: I think that was about the time when conservationists warned
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: that the last drops of pathos had been extracted from
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Mickey Rourke. and that we had to just sort of
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: like find other sources. There was a, but there, I
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: wanted to pair that movie with another movie, which is
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: like a, a movie about a kid in high school
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: called Hadley's rebellion. And I think it's a really good
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: little movie, but it was about a kid who did
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: like wrestling in high school and he's very good. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: he's going to like tournaments. Um, um, But it sort
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: of highlights how, you know, after college, you know, there's
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: nowhere to go with wrestling. There's pro wrestling.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Pro is a whole different thing.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: There's no real pro wrestling.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: I really liked it as a movie for young people
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: because it didn't condescend. It didn't have a message. It's
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: the way I am with kids. It's like, well, we're
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: both on a planet at the same time. And, and it,
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I don't want to spoil it, but it goes to
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: an odd place for, for a movie for young people.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: It's not, you know, it's not what you would expect.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: And I thought it was, I was surprised by it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I was surprised how, how well written and well done and,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: and acted too. I don't remember who the kid was
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: in the role, but he was, utterly convincing um there
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: was no uh like fourth wall presentation he just it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: like you were following this kid.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Around that is one of the like again like all
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: the different subsections i came into like kind of compiling
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: all this it's like there is a lot of them
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: that like what's more interesting about the movie as a
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: whole sometimes is just because it gives you this little
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: window into a career that maybe nobody you know other
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: than a handful of people that do it nobody quite
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: knows what it's like so it's like there is a
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: lot of movies titles in general that you can do
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: that's why i was kind of like if you want
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: to do like nothing but cop movies we'll be here
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: all day you know it's like cops and detectives and
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: like all of these like you know even weird medical
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: that becomes you.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Got me curious so i looked him up and his
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: name is griffin o'neill and it looks like the most
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: recent thing he did after that was ghoulies 3 oh
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: my god looks like he's just someone that just disappeared.
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: That killed him he's killed him it's one of those
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: movies that i like that probably didn't do what another
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: one was like the stone boy I've.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Heard you tell me about this one.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Great movie.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I think we've mentioned this on the show before.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: People who are in it just laugh at what a
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: disaster it was. It's like, that's a great movie. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: think I've seen it a couple of times. But yeah,
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: there's that tendency, I think, for some professions, like cop movies,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: some professions just become a rote thing.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Like, I feel like when it comes to most films
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that are following protagonists that are in the military, it's
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: like I've seen that film a dozen times over.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: And yet they keep making those.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: School teacher ones, too. It's like they always have to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: be just annoyingly cloying.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: I had one of those, but again, it was a
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: little unusual. because i've never had the uh then this
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: will be different for you i've never had the interest
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: to become a school teacher and i question i'm related
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: to one and i'm like what what are you thinking
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: stop what are you doing but if ever there was
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: one that was like all right maybe this summer school
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: mr shoops got a handle on it just kind of
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: comes to school in like your serp gear and has
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: the summers off except this year because he got suckered
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: into summer school and doesn't really have to teach any
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: real classes in this scenario like everything else about his
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: version of being a teacher is not at all being
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: a teacher i'm like all right this guy he knows
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: what he's doing but most other teachers i don't get.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: It so you definitely bring something different to.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: That well and the funny and now all of a
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: sudden you've got me thinking like what is the most
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: realistic depiction depiction of teachers in film from my perspective
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of being one election.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I election is such a great movie actually election that
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: is not a bad suggestion because they do.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Not in the way that every teacher is wanting to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: have a relationship with their kids but like there's that
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: one scene to where she's sort of talking Reese Witherspoon's
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: character is talking about how sad she thinks it is
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that he does the same thing and they have that
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: montage where it's just showing him over the years explaining
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: you know the executive branch the judicial branch and like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it just keeps fading into him doing the same thing
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and it feels like that sometimes i saw that i
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: was like okay that that's fair and and the fact
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that he's brought down by the janitor yeah the janitors
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: are janitors yeah i was gonna say school janitors are
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: kind of vindictive yeah then.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: You go to breakfast club That's a great little moment.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Lon Chaney was usually like a school janitor or something.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: It was like this little nerd as monster.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: He could play working class pretty well.
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he definitely could pull that off.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know. School teacher is one that
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: never clicked with me.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I would say, actually, out of all the stuff I've seen,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the one where I can watch it with teacher friends
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and we laugh are like, they got that stereotype teacher
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: on pretty spot on is the show Vice Friends. principles
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that HBO has done. I've watched that and I suspicion
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that somebody on that show knows teachers or was a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: teacher because they get all the hip trends spot on.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: And oddly enough, The Simpsons. A lot of The Simpsons
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: references they will make about education, that's so spot on.
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: They're still hitting some things pretty good. They've had a
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: lot of Lisa episodes lately, so they done education things
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: i have a movie story about someone who is getting
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: a master's in education and one of their classes wanted
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: them to go watch go watch this movie and write
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: about it and it was music of the heart and
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: it was.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: Uh isn't that wes craven no it's one of the
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: horror guys didn't know no.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: It was uh yeah music of the heart is wes craven.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: It's like a weird offshoot like one of the only
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: times he did not it.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: Is is it Meryl Streep yeah oh okay yeah it
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: is it's a weird offshoot movie yes okay well it
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: was that movie okay I might as well say it
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: was Lynn was in the program and she comes home
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: another weird teacher person and she says like she was
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: going through this master's thing and I had to be
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: tech support for it which was like a full-time job
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: so she comes home she says oh I'm supposed to
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: watch this movie uh, music of the heart and write about,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, um, did, are you, do they have
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: it in class? Are you going to, no, I'm just
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: supposed to rent it. I'm like, give me the phone,
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: give me the phone. Cause it was right when all
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: the video stores were losing VHS and stuff wasn't out
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: on DVD. And I called all over town and it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: nobody had it. No, we do have it, but it's rented. Okay. Um, has,
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Fourth place I called, they're like, why do people keep
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: calling about that movie? And we found it over in
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: the West End somewhere, and I drove there and caught it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: And she was supposed to write something about the educational
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: techniques that the teacher used in the movie. And I
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: saw the movie, and the only thing she ever does
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: is say, you're playing the wrong notes. Stop it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: That's the only, what do they call that? Pedagogical.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: If you're going to get a musical teacher movie that
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: provokes dialogue, Whiplash really falls into there. I watch it
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure there are teachers that exist like that.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Damien Chazelle, I know he said that it was based
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: on a teacher, but It feels kind of like sort
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: of an exaggeration at points. And part of me kind
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: of wonders when it comes to that particular film, if
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the teacher, the J.K. Simmons character, isn't even supposed to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: be taken face value, literally. Like, you're almost seeing him
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: filtered through the perception of the student. Because, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: from that teacher role, like a lot of the time,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: if a parent calls because they– something that you said
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: or did in class, it gets filtered through the telephone
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: game by the time it comes back to you. It's
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: weird to hear how your motivations as a teacher and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: what you do gets translated by others. And so I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: was kind of wondering if on Whiplash, you're not seeing
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a character as in he's doing all these things for real,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: so to speak, but rather this is just the The
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: perception of the student.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: The point of view.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: So basically you're watching the entire film from the point
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: of view through a potentially unreliable narrator.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good point. I had that experience with
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: my own kids one time. My daughter told this story
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: about when I was yelling at her about something. But
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: it was a text conversation, so I had the transcript.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: And I said, so you tell your version of what
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I said. And I'm going to read the transcripts and
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: all this. There was no yelling at her involved, I
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: was asking her. But she felt like it was very,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't know.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: It's all presentation.
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: That was very gratifying. That was a great day. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: had like... Aha!
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: Gotcha!
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Another representation of the teacher that I saw recently... was
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: an SNL short parody of a teacher who shows up
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: like down at some back alley and the student, this
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: black student comes out and says, oh, you looking for me? Well, yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: It's like, because I didn't take that test. Well, Okay,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: you think I have so much potential? Yeah, you do
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: have potential. He says, so, like what? You're going to
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: make me go to Harvard?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: No, Harvard, no.
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: And it turns out, actually, the teacher's down there to
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: buy mushrooms. And the kid just happened to be there.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: He says, you think I'm some kind of genius? Well,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: the word genius gets tossed around a lot. Yeah, that
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: was pretty good. And it was Pete Davidson who also
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: was in their parody of, oh, we have to talk
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: about Robin Williams if.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: We're talking about jobs in movies.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: Because he went through that phase where every job was
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: about being a comedian.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: And forced in when it didn't fit most of the time.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, dead poet society.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: That's what I was thinking as you were talking about it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: That's kind of one of the initial ones that started
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: that trend of like, The inspiring teacher.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: And it kind of hit all those. And the rest
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: of it I feel like is okay. I feel like
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: you could go all the way back.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like it starts with Asphalt Jungle.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And then it got effectively remade as, oh God, Sidney Poitier.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Why am I going blank?
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: To serve with love well then it becomes one of
• 31:21
  Speaker 13: the two it's either the super inspiring teacher or it's
• 31:25
  Speaker 13: the fish out of water trying to teach the kids
• 31:27
  Speaker 13: that don't want to be taught it's kind of those
• 31:29
  Speaker 13: two different versions of it or.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: The Antonio Banderas where he's teaching ballroom dancing to inner
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: city kids I saw that at the theater and for
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: the first 15 minutes they had the aspect ratio wrong
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: And so it was like about this squat little dwarf
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: teaching ballroom dancing to all these little munchkin kids in
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: the inner city.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: People would watch that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: And I was watching with my daughter, and I'm like,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: I have to do something about it. Everybody was just
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: watching it. Everybody was just going to go for this ride.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: What do you have? Problems with dwarf people? She's like,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: don't make a scene.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: It's like in a zombie. In a scene, go up,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: push a button, and it rotates the lens.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: So I had to go tell him, come back. And
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: then And then when it changed, everybody in the audience goes, ah.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Thank God.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Now, from the perspective of a teacher, really, like, it's,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's about 25% in the classroom and about
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: 75% at the grocery and someone walking up.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mr.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: Kalen. Hey.
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: What's up?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: And then there's that pause where it's like, okay, this
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: is obviously a former student. Who is this? You know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the first couple years are not bad, but by the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: time you've gotten into double digits, like, I've got a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: few thousand, like, I don't remember.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I called all my art students Guy. Male or female. Hey, Guy.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: How you doing, Guy? Why do you call everybody Guy?
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Guy. The only kid I remembered, her
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: name was Serene, and she was not the least bit serene.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: Well yeah i mean we had your your dangerous minds
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: and like that or then it became the principle like
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: literally in the principle or you're lean on me or
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: like everything became this like inspiring like story for yeah
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: again usually it became some weird inner city somebody thrown
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: in that doesn't normally do this and somehow they're gonna
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: change it and yeah i don't know that any of
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: that is i mean i guess some version of that
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: has to be going on out there but I don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: know how accurate any.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Of those are.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know who it's marketed to, though. Because, I mean,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: as a lot of, like, students, you know, you watch
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that and it's like, this is fun, but this is
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: obviously a romanticization.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: And as teachers, it's just like, no. So, like, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know who those are marketed to,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. We've veered off course, haven't we?
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Well, we've done a lot of teachers. We can go
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: to other.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: Again, I started coming up with ones that were, like
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: I said, that only seemed weird when you stopped and, like,
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: stepped away from the plot and were like, all right,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: not only is this going on, but there are people
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: that have to have jobs based around this. One of
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: the first ones that came to mind is Oldboy. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: Either version, there is essentially like a motel.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Somebody has to keep that running. Like, that's a business, essentially.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: It's an off-the-grid kind of a business, but yeah, there's
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: somebody that brings food. There's somebody that finds new weird
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: ways to torment people, and that's their job.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Actually, I really like, in the Korean version, I really
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: like the guy who runs the hotel.
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: The entire scene to where he ends up being involved
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in the double cross. And it turns out that he
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: was perfectly willing to give up his hand for the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: thing he basically spent. He's like, no, I got a
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: whole brand new building out of the deal. He's just like, yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: it seems like a fair trade. I get a new building,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: take my hand. It speaks volumes to just.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Take my hand.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I mean those are the ones the more i thought
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: about it was like that that.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Only exists within the world of this movie yeah or
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: that you just have to have people that go in
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: and just clean the rooms yeah like and you have
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: regular stuff doesn't register or they just have gotten to
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: the point they don't care anymore they're just like whatever
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: this guy's knocked out we can go in and finish
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: clean up the room and take this out and do
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: whatever horrible thing we're about to do well it's.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Funny you mentioned that because like one of the ones
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that i had was um and it centers around Leeds,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: is the cleaning ladies from The Shape of Water. I
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: like the fact that she's got this creature in this
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: government facility, but it's like, no, we still need cleaning.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I still got to mop the floor, so whatever. Yeah,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: you still need to.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Clean the bathrooms.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: That's such a gorgeous movie. Oh, my God.
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: The other recent one that was along those same lines
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: for me is, now it's a trilogy, but the entire
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: world that exists in John Wick... like literally to the
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: point they have their own currency like it is its
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: own completely off the grid underground civilization kind of that
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: sort of makes no sense if you think about it
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: too much because especially by the time you get the
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: second one suddenly everyone in the free world is a
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: bounty hunter that gets a text and is off to
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: go kill someone but Again, I'm just thinking of like
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: when he goes to the hotel set up or he
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: goes to the restaurant or like there's all these people that.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Are still seemingly doing a normal job. But it's, again,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: like in this weird place that doesn't exist in reality.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Even in the confines of this movie, normal people don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: know that this is here. But yet you still have
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: to get up and go to work every day and
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: bus tables while there's like hitmen all around you going
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: off to have their own adventures. This poor idiot's got
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: to clean up the table. So that's another one of
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: those that just like the more and more I'm like, yeah,
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: somebody's making the beds in that hotel.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to explode.
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: I've had it.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: I lie around, keep me on.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: I don't do nothing.
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: I just hang around.
• 37:53
  Speaker 14: Waiting for a call from the dollar when I fall.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: I'm going to explode.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: I've had it.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: It's all you.
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: I've got to take no more abuse.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I found the fucking lions.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm losing my mind.
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, I'm going to explode. Oh, hey, give it up
• 38:19
  Speaker 9: for James. I'm in a little mess. I'm playing guitar
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: with my car.
• 38:28
  Speaker 15: Yeah, the truth is that even though you may think
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: that you've been hired to sell tickets, you're really a
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: goodwill ambassador of sorts for AMC.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, think about it. When you go into a.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Restaurant or a store, or even if you're a.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: Student entering a classroom for the very first time, that
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: feeling that you get from the first person you interact
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: with tends to stay with you.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, there's an air about hot coffee that's hard to resist. Full-bodied,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: refreshing hot coffee makes any time a pleasant interlude. Won't
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: you have some now?
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: That makes me think.
• 39:01

• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Depends.
• 39:06

  Speaker 7: do without any funding mostly I mean at this point

• 42:07

• 42:14
  Speaker 7: the number of people I've roped into doing this. It's like,
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: I feel like the more people that join up and
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: kind of join that Patreon page, like it shows people
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: that there's some reason to come on board, that there
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: are other people out there that.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Appreciate this kind of stuff. So, Hey, kick in now.

  Speaker 7: Yeah.

• 42:50
  Speaker 16: some cash in my pocket and I'm going to get
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: more when I get back at my house. So I felt,
• 42:55
  Speaker 16: you know, like, since I so rarely contribute anything of
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: value to the Meltdown circus.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: That's not true. Words are valuable.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: But in any event, yeah, join up with Movie Meltdown
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: right now. That's what I keep saying. Yeah, and it's
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: a fantastic world to be a part of.
• 43:14
  Speaker 16: It's the world of terrible movies and the world of
• 43:16
  Speaker 16: the people who love them.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: That's, yeah, that's a pretty good representation. And occasionally we
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: actually talk about a good movie. Yeah, well, but don't
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: tell the normies that. Occasionally, I'm like, hey, let's go
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: watch a new movie. And oh, look, this actually was good.
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Many other times, we're just watching Wolf Girl.
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: So if you want to hear us recap Wolf Girl
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: or Atomic Age Vampire.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: Or some other, again, if you... Get on board.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: I want it to be interactive. I have levels where
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: I'm like, you can pick out a movie. Again, the
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: more we kind of make the club grow, I've got
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: a couple other ways I'd like to get people involved.
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: But at this point, there's not really a ton of
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: people to do it with. So I'm just like, never mind.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: We'll wait until we lure some more people in.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: And so far, we're still waiting for the rest of it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: So don't wait around anymore.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: Get on board now, and then we can make this
• 44:09
  Speaker 7: more of a big interactive club.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: And you can get involved.
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: To come over and join the club over at the
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: Movie Meltdown Patreon page. If you just chip in a
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: couple of bucks, you keep the show going, and I
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: can keep lining up great guests and putting together these
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: cool conversations that we have every week. So just go
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: to patreon.com slash movie meltdown, or go to movie meltdown.com,
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: and the link is right there at the top of
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: the page. Click on it, kick in a couple of bucks,
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: and you help keep the show going. Plus, you get
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: exclusive episodes every month. So go to our site, become
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: a Melketeer, get cool stuff, and keep the show rolling.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Damn the man.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Save the meltdown.
• 44:46
  Speaker 17: You might say it sets the tone for the entire visit.
• 45:00
  Speaker 17: If the first person our guest sees is pleasant, friendly,
• 45:03
  Speaker 17: and helpful, then they probably expect their entire visit to
• 45:05
  Speaker 17: be a positive one.
• 45:07
  Speaker 18: But if you come off non-caring, unfriendly, distant, or just
• 45:12
  Speaker 18: downright weird, then it's going to make everyone else's job
• 45:15
  Speaker 18: at the theater that much harder. And our guests may
• 45:17
  Speaker 18: decide to visit another theater the next time around.
• 45:19
  Speaker 15: So the bottom line here, folks, is that although we're
• 45:21
  Speaker 15: in the business of showing films, we are also very
• 45:24
  Speaker 15: much in the business of customer service. And that service
• 45:28
  Speaker 15: starts with you and how you deal with the public
• 45:30
  Speaker 15: right here at our starting point.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: The box office.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is Robert Hayes, and I'm listening to Movie Meltdown.

• 47:10
  Speaker 1: it can go in a lot of different directions. Because
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I started to think about just documentaries that are focused
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: on people with odd jobs. Both Werner Herzog and Errol
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Morris love people like that. And so you mentioned, oh,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: somebody's got to take care of the trash, whatever, in
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: this odd place. Encounters at the End of the World
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: that Herzog digged, or he went to Antarctica. And he's
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: talking to just, you know, cafeteria workers garbage men it's
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: just like you know you could do this job in
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: america you wanted to find out like what what what
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: drives you to go to effectively the middle of nowhere
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: to do the same low hourly rate job that you
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: could do anywhere else and you know i think my
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: favorite moment of that, you know, there, there's a couple
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: of cool moments. I love that you've got somebody that
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: trains people what to do in the event of a
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: whiteout blizzard. So like everybody's wearing those buckets over their
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: heads and they're just out in the middle of the
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: plane and they're, they're trying to simulate like, how would
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: you get back to camp if you just happen to
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: be a few hundred feet away and suddenly it was
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: whiteout conditions and you don't wander off. Like you've got
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: somebody that trains people like he, he is a teacher
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: in that class. Um, but, when he talks to the
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: fellow who's like the Diane Fossey of penguins, it was
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: like my favorite little moment in it. Cause they, they
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: warn him. They're like, you're not going to get anything
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: out of this guy. Like he doesn't talk to anyone.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: And you even hear Herzog's narration talking about how he
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: tried in vain for like an hour or something to
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: get this guy to say anything. And finally he was
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: just like, does prostitution exist within the penguin society? And
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: it's love that this fellow just kind of like, And finally,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: for the first time, he's like, well, actually, there are
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: occasions where suddenly he got interested because he went from
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: asking these mundane questions just, all right, I'm going to
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: go to this end of the spectrum, which Herzog is
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: very good at doing.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: And so he asks.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: About prostitution amongst penguins, homosexuality, and then insanity. And I
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: love that that whole sequence ends with this wide shot of...
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: of just a parade of penguins walking and this one
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: penguin at the end of the line just like stops
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and he just stands there for a few minutes just
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: like staring at the ground while the rest of the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: group walks away and all of a sudden the penguin
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: like does this 90 degree turn to face the distant
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: mountains and it holds its two wings out and just
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: starts running like top speed towards the mountain and just
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: runs off into the distance. I'm like, it's just such
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: a beautiful shot. As, as Herzog is doing this narration
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: about like what insanity has gripped this penguin, you know,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: for all I know, Herzog just shot a gun off
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: camera and they muted that out just to get it.
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: But he does that in other movies. Like I was
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: watching Cave of Forgotten Dreams recently and, One of the
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: guys he's talking to says, well, I'm a scientist, but
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: I'm also a human being. Before this, I was in
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: the circus field, juggling.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Herzog loves to just poke. He's like, there's something here.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that is what he does. Where anybody else would
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: stop the questioning, he's like, Leave it running for an
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: extra minute here to see what happens. And it's always
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: something like, wait, what did they just say?
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: But Errol Morris did that film, Mr. Death. Did you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: ever see that?
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: No, the title?
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen it. The full title, I think,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: is Mr. Death, the Rise and Fall of Fred A.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Luchter Jr. And it is.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: This biopic that focuses on this man to where he
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: was effectively an expert at execution, like the, the current
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: lethal injection.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: Machine, the.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Gals, like all these things. He, he did not invent them,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: but he was brought in, uh, To make them more efficient.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: And he saw himself as like a humanitarian because he's like, no,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saving people.
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: I read about them.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: Extra suffering.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds to extra suffering. And then he like got
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: roped into the odd like thing that arose. And I
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: guess it was the late 80s, early 90s where it
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: was like the Holocaust denial group. And so they took him.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: He became like an educated fool. He thought he knew.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: Because they took him to.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: The remains of, I think Auschwitz or somewhere. And he
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: was like testing bricks to look for residue of nerve
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: gas or something. And he was like, I couldn't find
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: any proof. And it was, it was basically him admitting
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: his own ignorance and it turned him into basically spun
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: as like Holocaust. And so then the rest of the
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: film follows like how no one would get him to
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: come work on their electric chairs anymore because it's, It's
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: a really bizarre biopic of this guy who had an
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: incredibly weird job to begin with. Or gallows. I remember
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: watching it and I was like, they still do gallows?
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: I was in a museum of antique tools once. Oh,
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: I forget what it's called, but it's in New Jersey.
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: It's a three-story poured concrete building. And some guy who
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: made his fortune in tile, Spanish decorative tile, started collecting
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: all these tools, and you could just walk through it,
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: and there was nobody working there. It was just like
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: heartbreaking little signs saying, please don't steal. And we would
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: come across things and try to figure out. There was
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: no text to explain. You would just find these weird
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: things and go, what is that? And one guy I
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: was walking around with found a kalimba, like the African
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: thumb piano. He's like, what does that do? And I'm like, oh,
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: I know that. Hippies used to have those. But then
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: we went into this thing that seemed like a hayloft,
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: you know, with a trap door. But it was super fancy.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: And we were like, what is a gallows? We're standing
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: in a gallows. And that was like an old 19th
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: century tool.
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: Somebody had to come up with that.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Errol Morris, he did a couple focusing on
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: odd jobs too because he did Gates of Heaven. I
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: guess that was late 70s, early 80s. It focused on
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: the pet cemetery business.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: And I don't know. It's not really focused on anything.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen Vernon, Florida? Vernon, Florida is legit.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Like we were talking about how Herzog would just let
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the camera run. Vernon, Florida is.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: It's this almost experimental documentary where the camera is just
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: pointing at crazy people in a backwoods, middle-of-nowhere town. There's
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: a camera on the old men sitting in front of
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: the barbershop. There's another old crazy guy just out in
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: front of a gas station. There's this guy who likes
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: to hunt alligators and turkey vultures. All these things in
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: a swamp. And I don't think he's asking them any questions.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I think he just put the camera on them and
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: just said, go. And they ramble about UFOs and all
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: this crazy stuff. And it almost becomes like this indirect
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: documentary on just like really small town America, because you
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: just watch it. It's like, I've come across that crazy
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: person before. Like not that specific one, but yeah. Oh, that,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: For those of you who are listening.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:02
  Speaker 6: For anybody interested, I found the museum I was in
• 55:05
  Speaker 6: one time. It's Mercer Museum in Doylestown.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: A photo of it.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: It does look like it's loaded with stuff. What's the state?
• 55:13
  Speaker 6: Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: So then you can maybe do a double trip of
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: that and the Mütter Museum.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: Because that's... Well, I was in New Jersey, but we
• 55:25
  Speaker 6: drove over there, I guess. I don't know.
• 55:26
  Speaker 19: Right.
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: I was doing like a museum mount making workshop. It
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: was my first week of work at the Speed Museum.
• 55:33
  Speaker 6: It was training me how to make little things to
• 55:36
  Speaker 6: hold things.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: To make art float.
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: Even then, I made decisions based on puns and stuff.
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: A guy was trying to show a ladle so you
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: would display it in a museum setting. I said, oh,
• 55:53
  Speaker 6: it's a ladle cradle. The verbal relationship of the mount
• 55:58
  Speaker 6: to the object is something you forget about.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Did you ever have anyone really compliment you on how
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: you'd mounted something at the museum and said, I appreciate
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: the compliment, but you really don't have to put me
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: on a pedestal like that.
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: Yikes.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: Of the documentaries, I'm ignoring all of these puns. I'm
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: trying to think who it was that did the Documentary
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: on Hitler's secretary.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't remember.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: But now that. I mean, there's a mundane job. Blind spot.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Because everybody's seen the whole Renaud Gans, rest in peace,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: film Downfall. Because that came out in 2005. And then
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: shortly thereafter, Hitler freaking out when he realizes he's losing
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: the war. That turned into an early internet meme where
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: people would put captions up. But no, I remember.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: I, well, I remember working at the movie theater and
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: we got that Max, which was this film starring, um,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: John Cusack tour. Like he was, um, I want to
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: say an art dealer trying to save paintings from Nazis
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: or something. And amen, which was a German film about
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: like this priest who was taking confessions from SS officers
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: working in a concentration camp like we had all three
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: films come out within the same month and i remember
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: we put the posters side by side by side and
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: we joke.
• 57:28
  Speaker 19: We're like it's springtime for hitler because it was like
• 57:31
  Speaker 19: march you know but i remember blind spot though that's
• 57:35
  Speaker 19: one that's another one where the camera was just on
• 57:39
  Speaker 19: this ancient woman as she was hitler's secretary like she
• 57:44
  Speaker 19: was in the bunker and she's telling all these stories
• 57:47
  Speaker 19: about how she just listened to um Goebbels and the
• 57:51
  Speaker 19: rest of them talk about, well, if you're going to
• 57:53
  Speaker 19: kill yourself with a gun, you need to make sure
• 57:55
  Speaker 19: you angle the gun this way in your mouth and
• 57:57
  Speaker 19: not this way in your mouth. They're talking about the
• 57:59
  Speaker 19: best way to kill the children.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Like, you get really gripped into this, like, because everybody
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: gets sort of fascinated by, you know, their grandma telling stories. Like,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: it could be anybody's grandma. I'm going to get roped in.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: So it's like, man, this grandma's got some really hairy tails.
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Dark times for grandma.
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's an Italian movie that's a good
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: example of a job, because it's Il Posto. It's basically
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: about a kid getting a job. And he, like, wants
• 58:33
  Speaker 6: to go to school, but he has to go to
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: work so his little brother can go to school. So
• 58:38
  Speaker 6: he has to go try to get this job, and
• 58:40
  Speaker 6: he has to jump through all these hoops to get
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: this job. And it's a very sad movie. I'm trying
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: to be careful about spoilers, but Yeah, there's some.
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: I was like, we can discuss the overall, but not
• 58:54
  Speaker 7: the specifics.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Well, no, one I've got that actually, it's like one
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: of my favorite, like, fun little jobs that actually turns
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: out to be a spoiler in a film. So, spoiler warning,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: is an anomaly the fact.
• 59:06
  Speaker 6: That yeah oh i love that yeah that.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: You've got like she's got this mystery that's driving her
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: through so much of the film or she doesn't know
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: like why is it that or why i'm sorry the
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: the one fellow who's like collecting all these photo booth
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: shots and this one guy just keeps showing up and
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: all these like torn up pictures underneath where he's just
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: staring just blanking the camera And you get that great
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: reveal at the end where it's just like, no, it's
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: the photo booth repairman. And it's just they're all test photos.
• 59:34
  Speaker 6: That's a lovely little mystery. I love stuff like that.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: It's a fun little mystery around a job you wouldn't
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: think that exists, but obviously has to.
• 59:44
  Speaker 6: I've done jobs similar to that. I've done photo tech stuff.
• 59:48
  Speaker 6: I used to process like a thousand rolls of film
• 59:52
  Speaker 6: every night. It was a night job, and they'd just
• 59:55
  Speaker 6: go flying by. And then I'd have to print them
• 59:57
  Speaker 6: and cut them. And, uh, and it was, uh, a weird,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: cause it was like the old 35 millimeter. And, and
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 6: I saw so many photos that people took that I
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 6: started to see that people take the same photos.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'm sure you, have you seen one hour photo?
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: You're also insane. Yeah.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Because he, he does have that whole thing to where
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: he talks about, it's like people take the same photo.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: It's almost as if, you know, they have to prove
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: to themselves, like I was here.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: I existed.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: Especially now.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, there are some in the vacation spots
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: that are like a Kodak spot. But even apart from that,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: there's just certain things that people do. And, of course,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: one of my favorites, there was an art school nearby.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: And every night there would be a roll of pictures
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: of a girlfriend in a bathtub. And always the interesting
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: thing about it, And, you know, she was always a
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: good sport and a lot of, like, nude photos. And
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: then at the end, though, there was always a picture
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: of the dude. And it was always blurry and it
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: was always his face. Every one of them. And I'm like, what?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: All I could figure was at some point she, like,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: he took all these photos and she was like, oh,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: let me take one of you. And it was a
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: blurry picture.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: Of this dude.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Because she didn't know how to work the aperture.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: But it was a weird phenomenon that happened over and
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 6: over again.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: That's the other one. I guess we're coming back to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 7: Minnie in this one movie. That's the two of my
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: favorite characters in Summer School. But to me, it's more
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: of a time capsule. They work at that little tiny
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: room out in the parking lot where you used to
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: drop off your film. And that was their favorite thing,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: was waiting for the artsy guy to come along and
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: take pictures of naked girls.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: And then they'd make duplicate copies. So I'm assuming you
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: were also doing that.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 6: No, I didn't do that. But anything that I said,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: like the color wasn't good, they would reprint. And so
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: if there was something that I wanted to keep, then
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 6: I could just make it a reprint and tell them,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: do it over. The color wasn't good enough. And there
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 6: were some. There was one that was just like a
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: super green yard with a bucket and a fish in it.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, ooh, portrait of my soul. Make me
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: one of those. I still got that somewhere.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 6: And there was a whole roll that was like photos
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: at like a super rich person's wedding. And somehow they
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: were all blurred to where they were almost like abstract cartoons.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: And it's like keeping that. And I've got a perfect alibi.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 6: These are messed up. They got to redo them. But yeah,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 6: it was fun. I did keep a lot of those.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 6: Some of them were just like such cool images.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Because I take a lot of 35. photos not as
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: much now just because it's it's a little bit harder
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: to get processed but you do have all those bad
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: messed up shots and you get maybe one or two
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: per roll or something i got to where i started
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: putting them into a separate photo album so i've got
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: one or a couple photo albums that are just all
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: the blurred overexposed like yeah the frame is shifted out
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: of whack like and to me i almost like flipping
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: through that more than i do the ones that i
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: did well because i'm like Some of them, you don't
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: know what you did. You don't know how to duplicate that.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: You couldn't take that photo if you wanted to, and
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: that makes.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: It kind of more interesting. Instagram filters pre-Instagram, but unintentional.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: I remember one time I accidentally left a roll of
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: film in my top dress shirt pocket, and then it
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: went through the washer, went through the dryer, and it
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: came out. I was like, oh, crap. And when it
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: got processed, all these weird... multi-colored nicks and like the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: colors had kind of blurred i was like that's gorgeous
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: i want to start washing my film.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: Wash your phone try that with your phone.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 6: Film washer yeah yeah.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 7: Well then you get ones that like idealize it and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 7: make things that are probably already cool jobs seem like
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 7: the coolest job and on that note that was one
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 7: of mine too is just looking through some of the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 7: more classic Rear window makes being a photographer seem like
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: the coolest thing in the world. Everything he does before
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: the mystery end of it starts is just like, here's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: all these pictures of me off in these foreign countries.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: And I'm always, you know, taking off around the world
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 7: to take these great things.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: And like everything about.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 7: Him seems like the coolest guy ever, even before he starts,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 7: you know, solving a mystery.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: And I love, that's just, that's just great filmmaking there too,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: where you, you don't, That is your exposition. It's just
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: that pan around. And then you just see this really
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: cool shot of the car on the racetrack midair, and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: then you cut over to him in the cast. It's like, okay.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: I know why he's in a cast. I know what
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: he does for a living. And nothing has been said.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 6: If that job in Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind was real,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 6: where people could come and erase everything, I would have
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: people come and erase Rear Window from my memory so
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: I could just watch it for the first time over
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 6: and over. Just find that spot, you know, and get
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: rid of it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: I did watch it on the big screen in the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: last year or so, and it's kind of a rediscovery.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: An aside for a future discussion is, and I've thought
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: about this before, too, we had these discussions in the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: movie theater, is if you could go back in time
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: and see a film upon original release and have the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: ability to have not seen it before.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: Within your lifespan or pre? Or both.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: Both.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: We can add that to the list.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: But, no, I'm sitting here looking over my list and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: kind of going back to talking about just jobs in
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: odd places. And it's like somebody has to do it.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: Beyond the Black Rainbow. Like, to me, Beyond the Black
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Rainbow is weird that this obvious concept This facility probably
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: had a big cult following in the 60s. And now,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: flash forward to 20 years later, it's just forgotten about.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: The people that even live around it don't know it exists.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I can get the girl being imprisoned. I get, basically,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: the Barry character. He's like the heir to whatever weirdness
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: is going on. But then you have the nurse technician.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: And upon re-watching that recently, I'm like, is she getting paid? Like,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: I just kind of wonder, like, she comes in every day, so, like,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: she's not there 24-7. She doesn't live there. She's obviously just, like,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: working an hourly job to where she just comes in,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: gives food or whatever to this imprisoned girl, and then
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: goes up and monitors her, and then goes home.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: Like, what an odd.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: And she's the one and only other person there. Like,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: she's the only person that seems to be running the place.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 7: And....
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to follow that character home
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: just because it really intrigues me that she's not part
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: of this grandmaster scheme. But she knows something weird as
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: hell is going on that everyone else has forgotten about.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: But still, it's just like nine to five.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just recently watched Glass.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: Did you see?
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Mm-mm.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's basically the same.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: Well, because we focus so much within this hospital thing,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 7: of all three of these characters from the previous movies
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 7: are all there now, but cause it's midway in and
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 7: I'm just like, are there other people in this hospital?
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 7: And finally you, I guess realize like this is a
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 7: weird forgotten wing where they just brought the, because later
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 7: on they're like, they're, you know, weird things are happening.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, where's the other people?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 7: And there are, but they're often like a massive hallway
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 7: tunnel that goes to the rest of the weird giant
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: hospital but like this area that they're in there's two
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 7: orderlies so of course we get the window of them
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: being total jackasses because that's you know one in particular
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: has to be a jerk to everybody because we have
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 7: to have that little window into there's always somebody at
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 7: one of these especially like mental institution or something there's
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 7: always somebody like taking advantage of their position so yeah
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 7: we get these two guys but I'm like any other
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 7: orderly would just be dealing with crazy people They kind
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 7: of know that these three people have extraordinary powers, and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 7: yet they still got to come here and fall asleep
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 7: in front of a monitor like everybody does in every
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: one of these movies. It's still kind of the same job,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 7: but you know that guy's super strong, right?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: And this guy has mind powers. All of this shit
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: should be weird, but yet they just chill up and
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: clock in like everybody else.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned... We could probably go off on a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: tangent just talking about roles within insane asylums, but a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: more realistic one that comes to mind now that I
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: hadn't even thought about, but also a real job, is
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: all the workers in session nine.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 7: I was yeah that was I almost wrote that I
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 7: was like maybe I'm steering too far off because it's
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: so focuses on so many other things but it does
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: you get both versions of yeah you get kind of
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: flashbacks into the workings of the hospital that is a
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: weird job and In and of itself, tormenting people. And
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 7: then you get the guys that are actually pulling out asbestos.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, we're going to go in and pull
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: out asbestos tile in this weird, abandoned, insane asylum. Oh,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: there's all sorts of weird content here that we can
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: just rifle through when we're bored.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: But you assume that's the more weird of their jobs.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 7: But every other day of their life, they're pulling.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: Asbestos out of buildings?
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: That's a job.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: But then they specialize in historical buildings, too.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: That's where you're going to get the most asbestos.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: And just when he's talking to the kid, he's just like, no,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: you got to wear your mask because you get this
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: little incubation. Boom, you're done. Like he talks about, he
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: goes in this whole thing about just how dangerous this
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: job is.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: I was thinking that. How long can you do that
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: job before you die?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like working in a coal mine or something.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: I have that too.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 7: Like there are like almost the like snapshots into this
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 7: is the worst job ever.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: Don't do this. These are like cautionary tales that are like.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 7: Everything from uh my bloody valentine to coal miner's daughter
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 7: yeah don't be a coal miner don't go in a
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 7: mine of any sort oh what's.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 6: That great documentary by harlan county usa yes oh my
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: god i like how red your mind there that's so
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: crushing uh you know and of course uh journalism is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: a big thing and two of my favorites in that
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 6: of course are my favorite romantic comedy broadcast news which
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 6: people might question as romantic comedy because but i just
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 6: i just love the movie oh no that's great.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's definitely you just laugh at watching william
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: hurt cry.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 20: Yes i do uh and do that thing with his
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 20: neck what's funny to me is that again not to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 20: i won't totally spoil it but to me like there
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 20: is the dividing moment in broadcast news that like turns
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 20: things around specifically for holly hunter's character and like oh,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 20: that's going too far.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: When I think about it now, I'm like, yeah, that's.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 7: Nothing compared to the shit that happens now in journalism
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: and how doctored everything is.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: No, actually, now the movie Network has become far more prophetic.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 7: But that one, I was just like, now, like, there's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: so many reporters that specifically make themselves part of the
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: story that, like, the minor thing that he does is
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: just like, yeah, of course. They would do that before
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 7: they even shot the other stuff probably now.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: Like, Yeah, that sure shows you how standards have changed.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: Massively changed.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: But I guess James Brooks really knew that material, having
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: done Mary Tyler Moore so well, he had honed it
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 6: over time.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: Yes, several of those.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 6: I think The Wire is kind of like that, too.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 6: They developed that material in some earlier projects, and then
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 6: they really just looked at teaching and being a cop
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 6: And journalism, too. All these things that the different seasons
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: would focus on. But the other journalistic movie that I
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: really love, and I think it's underrated, is Shattered Glass. Yeah.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: It's one not that many people bothered with.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: I remember when we had it at the theater, a
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: lot of people just didn't want to see it, because
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: that was... I want to say it came out a
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: year after Attack of the Clones. And so at that point,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Hayden Christensen... Because he's not that bad of an actor.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: That might have been a little later, like 2005, because
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: both that and My Life as a House, those two
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: both were like vehicles for him that just came out
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: after the Star Wars prequels. And at that point, it
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: was almost the way that people are reacting now to
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: the news of Robert Pattinson as Batman. They're freaking out, though.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: I had a couple friends that pointed out, it's like,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: go watch Cosmopolis.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: Cronenberg film.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 7: He's specifically gone out of his way to do mostly
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 7: arthouse kind of stuff since he left Twilight.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: That's a very Bruce Wayne-ish character that he plays.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 6: Well, I was just saying the other day, I quit
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 6: really caring that deeply about casting after they cast Angelica
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: Houston and Daryl Hannah as Morticia Adams.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: Totally the same move. What are you talking about?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: Just screaming Bebe Neuwirth inside my head broke something in
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 6: my skull. And so now it's like, yeah, John Hamm
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: could have been Batman. He could have been a Batman.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 6: But give him a shot. I don't care. There's so
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: many Batmans now you can have.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Pick your Batman of choice.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 6: How many Spider- Are they Spider-Men or just Spider-Mans? Because
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: they're all in the context of their world.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: See, I get mixed up on that stuff too.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: And there are many, thanks to the multiverse.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Kind of like 2 plus 2.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: What is that? Is that is or are 2 plus 2?
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know what it are. It's 4.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: It's 4.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: But the character that I really liked in Shattered Glass
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 6: was the guy who had just got promoted, the Peter
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: Sarsgaard character. And he had to go through, and when
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: things seemed fishy, he had to be the cop and go, okay,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 6: show me where this happened. And he knew everybody resented him.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 6: Everybody thought they got passed over, and how did he
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 6: get promoted? And he knew... And they say, he's an editor.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: He's hardly even a writer. But he had to do
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 6: this and go through and say, so the convention was here?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 6: And the people who were the actual reporters, they said
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 6: he had like a lizard-y quality that the real guy
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: didn't have. The real guy was just a likable guy.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, I didn't get that from him. It
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 6: just seemed like it really pained him to have to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 6: be the boss. But that was the job.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 7: And I don't know that anybody's checking any of those
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 7: facts at this point. Again, if we're delving into modern
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: versions of this entertainment.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: Presentation.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: Oh, I know.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 6: It's so tame compared to standards today.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 7: See, mine, I go to the other extreme. If I'm
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 7: going to look up to anyone as an entertainment journalist,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 7: it's our reporters.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: From Death Race 2000. Oh, yeah. That's the kind of presentation.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: If we're going to go to the other extreme, just.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 7: gleefully excited as bodies are like on fire behind them
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: or or they're talking to a widow like whatever his name.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: Is something steel uh god i'm going black on his
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: first name but yeah god and paul bartell loved to
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: work him in because he had him in there he
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: had him in eating.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 7: Raul oh yeah paul bartell's amazed But yeah, I try
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 7: not to continually refer to celebrities and go, dear friend
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: of mine.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 6: There's a movie called The Whole Story by Alex Karpofsky.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 6: Played by young girls. And it's kind of a similar setup.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 6: He's trying to do a pilot for a TV show
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 6: where he goes to little towns and solves their mysteries.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 6: And that's a great job. And he's trying to get
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 6: that job. By going to this town, I think in Wisconsin,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: and there's a hole in their frozen lake where, you know,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: it's just not frozen. There's just a hole in the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 6: middle of the lake, and he's trying to solve why
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: that happened. But while he's filming and interviewing local people,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure he does this Borat thing where he
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 6: does a fictional story in a real setting. So a
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 6: lot of people are not actors anymore. And he's just
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: playing this guy among them. He has another movie like that.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: I think it's called woodpecker or something, but it's a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 6: real event, a real place. And he goes, and it's
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: a much more understated thing than the Borat, but, uh.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: It doesn't take much.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's a really good movie, but he said
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 6: it came out about the time Borat did. And it
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 6: sort of got overlooked, but he's still really proud of it.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 6: And it, I would highly recommend it if you haven't
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: seen it. The whole story.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 6: Sort of involves that broadcast news journalistic thing because while
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 6: he's getting ready to solve this mystery, it freezes over
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 6: and the hole is gone and he's not sure how
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 6: to solve it.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: He's out there with an ax. Plus the hole again.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's very funny.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Most of my remaining ones focus more around jobs, kind
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: of like with the technician in Beyond the Black Rainbow.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: It's focused on, like, what do you do?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: Because I thought Ben from Blue Velvet, the Dean Stockwell character.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: Who I love.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you sort of even have that question with Frank, too.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: Like, I get why this person's scary, but. How do
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: they make a living?
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get to this point.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: I at least kind of infer that Frank is like
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: a drug dealer.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: Sort of and or he kidnaps people and like exploits
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: money but that that whole scene just where he shows
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: up at ben's place and he's got these women just
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: lounging around and he just feeds frank something and he
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: sings every time i watch i'm just like What does
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: he do for a living? Like, how is he making
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: ends meet? And I honestly don't... I love that you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: get that little snippet just to make you curious.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: But you don't really know. And Lynch was.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 6: I'm guessing real estate.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: Could be.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 6: That's just, you know, whenever I wonder, like, about a
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: real person, it's like, how? What? How are they functioning?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 6: How are they... Oh, real estate.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: I see that with a lot of people, actually.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 7: Real estate or not, I just ask, how are they
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 7: getting by? But usually it's just decisions. I will watch
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 7: them making horrible decisions. I'm like, how do you get
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: through the day?
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: But that's one where it's like a little... I feel
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: like a film to where you watch the entire movie,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: and you are watching somebody go about their day and
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: do their job, and you got no idea what that
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: job is, is holy motors.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Where he just goes from, you know, I'm trying to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: think of all the different sequences. He puts on like
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: the motion capture suit and is just making out with
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: a woman and it turns out to be like some
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: weird CG porn that they are capturing. He just springs
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: up out of a cemetery and is eating flowers and
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: abducts a woman.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: The musical sequences are the best.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: He does like the musical sequence with the accordion. It's amazing.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: He has to like He's like a Chinese assassin who's
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: killing another assassin that looks just like him. God, what
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: are some of the others? Like, they are all these sequences,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: and it's just like you're watching someone just, well, this
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: is what he does every day. And it's just kind
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: of just most of the time I'm backing up like,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: what is he?
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: How did we get to this point with you? Like,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: it seems very.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 7: fully functional and without missing a beat he goes like
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 7: he's got these jobs lined up all day every day
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 7: but I'm like how did it get to this how
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 7: did you get to be whatever these are.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 6: I don't know I find often in my life I
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: just ask myself that question how did I get to
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: this point what re-roll the tape which.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: To me is always I've just wondered is the whole
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: thing just supposed to be some fun little allegory of, Oh,
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: if you look at our lives and themselves, like you
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: just take that snapshot, you know, it's like if, if
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: somebody was watching just your life encapsulated within two hours
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: and it's like, Oh, now he's a working in an
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: art gallery for like a little bit. And it's just
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: very indifferent. Now he's, now he's selling rugs. Like you
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: just going through all the different things. Like what is
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: he doing?
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 6: Actually, I had to write a little bio for a thing,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 6: and I reread it, and I'm like, this is the
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 6: craziest fucking thing.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: Who is this person?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 6: And just stuff I had taken for granted my whole life.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 6: I wound up looking up, and it's like, that wasn't
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 6: even a real thing. When I was a kid, this
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 6: was like, it didn't even really exist. Well, in the
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 6: school I went, which was a crazy futuristic school with
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 6: mirrored booths and mics in the ceilings, There was a
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 6: senatorial where we had all the school festivals and took
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: school pictures.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: So did you go to school on the set of
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Exorcist 2?
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 6: Sort of. It was in Bowling Green. It was like
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: this teacher training school for the university. And I went
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 6: the first year it opened. And it was a round building.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: And in the center there was a senatorium where we
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: had all our school plays and took school pictures. And
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 6: I Googled it. That's not a real thing. That's not
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 6: a feature of architecture. The only way you can find
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: it is to put the name of the school in
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 6: with it. And even then, only a couple of things
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: pop up. And I'm like, look at all our innocent
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 6: faces thinking we were in a real place. All the
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 6: teachers would say, we're going to go down to the sanatorium.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 6: It's like, that's not a thing. You might as well
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 6: say like the centaur. You know, it's a mythical. Anyway,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 6: but yeah.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: Rest in peace, I.M.P. This is why you ended up
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: like this, is what we're learning.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 7: I guess.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So the sense of a job in a noir
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: is an interesting thing to me. Like when a detective's like,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 6: should I take this job? I wasn't buying her story.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: The answer's always no, but they do anyway.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 6: I didn't buy this lady's story, but, you know, I
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 6: feel like.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: I needed 50 bucks. Yeah, I'm sitting there.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 6: I love that. And I saw recently an old noir
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 6: called The Third Man. And it had, I don't want
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: to spoil it, but there's a scene where this guy,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 6: his job is he's a hack writer. He writes sort
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 6: of pulpy books. But there's a scene where he gets
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 6: into a car and he thinks he's being taken to
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: be murdered because of this stuff he's been digging around into.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: And it's just the greatest scene in the world. It
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 6: is so completely earned, so completely unexpected. And it's just
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 6: one of my favorite things in all of movies anywhere.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 6: But he's a guy who's a writer. He went to
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 6: see an old friend. His friend is dead. And he
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 6: gets drawn into this sort.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: Of detective role. I love that entire sequence on the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: merry-go-round where Harry Lyme's just looking at the people and
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: just comparing them to ants.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 20: Yes, exactly.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 6: You could get rid of a few of those, a
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 6: couple here.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: Big deal.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 7: Of ones that tie to us personally, that is one
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 7: of those like very quickly ended up with wanting to
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 7: jump to, again, now that it's a lost thing, any
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 7: movies that sort of captured the era of the video store.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 7: And it's funny, there's one that I jumped to that
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 7: most people haven't even seen. I randomly ran across it,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 7: I think on cable one day and went, What the
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 7: hell is this? Do you know Watching the Detectives?
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Watching the Detectives?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 4: No, I've heard of it.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Of course, there's the Elvis Costello.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 7: I'm assuming where they took the title from. But it's... No, it's...
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 7: And I was thinking back. I was like, I don't
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 7: remember the plot at all. And then I watched the
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 7: trailer today. And I'm like, yeah, I don't remember any
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: of this other stuff going on. But it centers... It's
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 7: Cillian Murphy is our main character.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 8: And he.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: I think owns or definitely runs and seems to have
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: free reign to do whatever the hell he wants in
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: this video store. And it's so ideal because it's obviously
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 7: independently owned.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: Is it an American film?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: I think so.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's him and Lucy Liu kind of right before
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 7: they were big enough that they wouldn't have done a
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 7: weird movie like this. But it's interesting because most of
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: the story kind of centers around this video store. And
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 7: they don't seem like they... ever really get customers. They
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 7: have a sofa in the middle of the video store
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 7: and a TV that they just sit over there watching
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 7: movies all day.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, this may be the greatest job ever.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 7: And I had versions of it, but mine were always
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: ruined by corporate idiots. There was always some other aspect
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 7: that would mess it up. But his version of just
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 7: coming into work, sitting on a couch, occasionally maybe he'd
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 7: go up and talk to Lucy Liu. There's no downside
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 7: to that either. So Everything else.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 4: About that, it fell away. All I remember is like.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 7: That's the best video store job ever because they just
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 7: hang out watching movies all day and talk about how
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 7: awesome they are and play whatever scenes they want from
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 7: their favorite ones. Yeah, the rest of the movie, I
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 7: watched the trailer and I'm like, I don't remember any
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: of this other nonsense.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 6: You stay sort of indie for a while.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: I remember he did Intermission in 2003 and that was
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: sort of in that... era to where everybody wanted to
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: make the next lock stock and two smoking barrels yeah
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: but i mean intermission is fun i love that he
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: and i can't remember the other actor they're incompetent bank
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: robbers like they they knocked off a truck that they
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: thought was a bank truck turns out it was just
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: shipping um brown sauce you know that i've bought it
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: before i'm like it's it's foul i don't know what
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: it's meant to be used on but they they robbed
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: an entire truck of And they didn't want to throw
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: it away. So like there's this great opening shot where
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: there's talking, you see them pouring it in their coffee
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: and drinking. What on earth are they doing? And then
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: you start to get the backstory of, oh, they messed
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: up on this. You don't find out till later that
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: they messed up on the robbery. So then suddenly you realize. Oh,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: they've just got it all. And they're desperately trying to
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: find ways to consume it. They just don't want to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: dump it down the drain. It's like, no, I'll tolerate
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: putting it in coffee for the next 10 years. It's
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: this clever little touch within the film.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: He's always interesting. Even in stuff that sort of misses,
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 4: he's always pretty solid.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Sunshine, I think.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 4: Another one of those.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: But anyway.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 7: But, yeah, I mean, the video stores, obviously, like, Clerks
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: was the big one, and I did see that at
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: the time when I was working at one, and it was,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: there are moments that are oddly accurate, but even, like,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 7: looking back at, like, things that aren't totally about that,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 7: but just capture a little snapshot of time, like Scream,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 7: of him working in the video store.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: But there was also, like, Be Kind Rewind.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had that one, yeah.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 6: Where all the videos got erased, and then they have
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 6: to remake them.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: That almost came... past the point of its own yeah
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 7: In had it happened 2002 or seven eight years before
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 7: like it almost would have felt yeah i was gonna
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 7: say had that.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Happened in like late 80s early 90s that would have
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: been a cult.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 7: Totally would have yeah it would have kind of hit
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 7: there because i remember even at the time When it
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 7: came out, thinking, wait, when did.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: This get made?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: I was like, did this sit on a shelf for
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: a while?
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 7: But even the scenes in Lost Boys or something, there's
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 7: just a few handful of movies that kind of have
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 7: those scenes in the middle of a video store that
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 7: you're like.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Ah, it's gone.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 7: So yeah, that was just a weird attachment for me.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: One little passing job thing that I really love was
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 6: in Casino Royale. The The newer one with, what's his name?
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 4: You know, what's his name?
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mads Mikkelsen.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: James Bond.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: Daniel Craig.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 6: Daniel Craig, yeah. Just when, for a moment, he's mistaken
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: for a valet. And he goes, okay. And the guy
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 6: throws him his keys, he takes the car, goes and
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: wrecks it. It's like, that's a lovely little scene. Yeah,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 6: I would like to see more James Bond wander in,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 6: do somebody's job for a minute. fuck it up entirely
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 6: and then move on to the next.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 4: I am James Bond. I can kind of do whatever
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: I want.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 7: Well, that, I mean, in that world, I did think
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 7: of that too. Like, because we have everybody that's so perfect. Again,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 7: James Bond is like perfect at whatever the hell he
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 7: has to do. But then there's like, because it's such
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 7: an organization that runs what he does.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah. Okay. Q's in charge of making all
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: these things.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 7: What about every other idiot in a lab coat that's
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 7: walking around in the background of every scene when he
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 7: goes to get new gadgets? I'm like, these guys all
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 7: just show up and go to work and strap a
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 7: flamethrower onto themselves or a rocket pack or whatever ridiculous
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 7: thing is going.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: I'm like, these are just guys going to work every day.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I liked about the first Austin Powers. It's
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: not in the film. It's the deleted scene, but I'm
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: trying to remember who it was. Was it Will Smith
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: that plays like the, I'm not Will Smith, Will Ferrell. The,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: there's a henchman that's just like, no, and they're on
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: a slow steamroller and it just like, it goes on
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: forever and eventually it runs him over. There's a deleted
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: scene to where after that happens, it cuts to a
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: bunch of like just regular friends at like a Chili's
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: restaurant and they're ordering appetizers and just, they're talking and
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: you're just like, man, should we, should we go ahead
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: and order our main meals or anything? It's like, no, no,
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: we got to wait till Steve gets here.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 4: And it's like, all right.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, like one of them gets
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: a text and I'm like, he's dead.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 19: He got killed.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: And they're like, oh.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: To me, I'm like, I can see why they cut it.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Because it completely throws off. Because then it just jumps
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: right back into the film. It's this hilarious aside, though.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh. This random henchman, it impacts his friends
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: and family when he gets killed.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 7: Everybody has their own little.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 4: It follows them down into their life.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: The Dewey Cox Walk Hard is a movie I really
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 6: like because it takes the success story, which is like
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: what the meat grinder of movies and popular culture turns
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 6: anybody's career or life into. It's just the success story.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 6: And it just really, I think, savagely shows how these
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 6: same beats... That you're familiar with, no matter who the
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: subject is, they all happen so predictably. I thought that
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 6: was a very smart comedy, and I thought it was
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 6: super dark.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: Well, I've heard several people say, and I'm like, that
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 7: is kind of the danger of doing a movie the
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 7: way that they do that one. It starts off kind
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 7: of funny and then they take it so seriously that
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 7: after a while, you're not really laughing anymore because you
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 7: are almost buying that this guy is this dumb story
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 7: and you're sucked into the same biopic tropes that happen.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: So by the end, it doesn't seem as much of
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 4: a comedy anymore. It's just kind of. mimicking all these
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 4: other biopics.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: It was kind of a savage attack.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too... It came at the perfect time, too.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: It's like you had Walk the Line, then you had Rey,
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden here comes this.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: And they're still doing them.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: They're still doing them.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 7: Well, now, because it got such a good response that,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 7: you know, we're coming off of the Queen version, but
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 7: now we're going Elton John, so it's like... And I
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 7: don't think they're trying to be real savage with these.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 7: They seem pretty safe and Exactly what you would expect
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 7: out of these.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: They're very safe, and they're completely just not true. They
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 6: don't care what actually happened. It's like, no, we want
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 6: to culminate in this sort of glorious moment.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: No, all they're doing is they're kind of looking at
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: revenue that the music has generated. And they're like, all right, well,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: if we make a film about it, we instantly get
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: that audience.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: We have this running in the background of every scene,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 7: regardless of what's going on.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves nostalgia. Even if it's false nostalgia, they'll give
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: us a pass.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. But I would say
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: the one I saved for last is actually the one
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: to where when I was a kid... I wanted to
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: work for this person. And this is incredibly stupid. But
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: as a nine-year-old me watching the movie, I'm like, oh,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: that'd be so cool to work there. I wanted to
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: work for Juno from Beetlejuice. Which I realize is a
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: very dark ambition for a kid because they're all dead.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: But it's just like, that seems kind of neat. Like
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: you have all these really bizarre characters wandering around. It's
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, that looks like it's fun.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 4: That is another one of those that is what I
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: think is so brilliant about that movie.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: I love how everything in the afterlife, it's still annoyingly bureaucratic.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: It's like when they go up to see her, it's
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: like having to show your health insurance card. It's like, God.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: And you wait in the waiting room.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 4: Take a number.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: You wait in the waiting room for months. Because what
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: else are you going to do?
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 4: You're in the afterworld. What difference does it make?
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: But I love that you've got... The fact that there's
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: the one fellow who has been obviously run over by
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: a truck and he's speaking to them, but then they
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: created a rig for this guy. Like we want, we
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: want to diversify who is working here. So it's like, yes,
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: this guy's run over. He can't walk on his own,
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: but we'll make a rig to where not only can
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: he move around and interact with people, but we'll even
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: put these slits in the wall.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 4: So you can go all around the facility.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: Like they put a lot of work in just to
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: hire that man. Like I, I appreciate that.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: It's, I was thinking of that almost as the alternative
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 7: because I don't know how ultimate the job is, but
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 7: based on the amount of people who want to dress
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 7: like them, I would assume most people that grew up
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 7: in that era think that being a Ghostbuster would be
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: the greatest.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 4: Job in the world.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: Because good lord, people love to cosplay.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: How could we not mention movie jobs and not touch
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: on Ghostbusters?
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 7: But I was thinking, I was like, that's kind of
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 7: the alternate. Like, he's the human buster. Like, the fact
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 7: that Beetlejuice has created a job that is essentially the opposite.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: Of like, you want to get rid of these humans?
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 6: Alright.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: So he is the ghost trying to get rid of humans.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 7: I was like, I hadn't thought, I mean, obviously that's
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 7: the basic gimmick, but I hadn't thought about it so
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 7: much as a job.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: And like, it fully to the point today is cards.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 7: You know, it's like, Yeah, he spends all of eternity
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 7: still trying to get a job and take care of it.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: To what end?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: Again, we watch the nonsense that goes on in the afterworld.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, why is anybody even going through?
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 4: That's almost the.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 4: Hell of it or the the purgatory.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 7: Is that there is no let again you're just used
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 7: to doing a job so even in purgatory you go
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: to work every day and you again you don't even
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 7: know why you question how the hell did i get
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 7: here and why am i doing this and there is
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 7: no answer.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 6: Well aren't then dead people just taking jobs away from
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 6: the real estate magnates who pretend to be ghosts to
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: scare people.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 7: Perfectly good jobs are going to these dead people And
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 7: I won't have any.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 6: I'm sure, have you seen Because in Scooby Doo it
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 6: always turned out to be Somebody who was trying to buy.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 7: They wanted the property I was going to buy where
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: all of this amusement park Sits on, this land What did.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 6: The mystery gang do to make money?
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: They took these jobs.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 6: Was Fred just a rich kid? I mean, he wore
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 6: an ascot.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 4: You would think.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: But it was the 70s, too.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: They're still doing them.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 7: I saw on the... This tells you the kind of
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 7: movies I watch. On the movie I just watched, the
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 7: preview just came on for the new Scooby-Doo. And they're
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 7: retiring at the beginning of it.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 7: And they still look like they always did in the 70s.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 7: But I'm like, so these kids are like, what, 20?
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 7: And they retired from the... mystery-solving business, and he sold
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 7: the Mystery Machine.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 6: They're going to be brick masons now?
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see what the new Ghostbusters does.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a throwback.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 7: What do you do?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: We've already seen an attempt to go wrong, so what
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 4: do you do with this?
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say you might as well just go
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: all in and Egon is a ghost. You might as
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: well go all in. And they can do it because
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: we had CGI Peter Cushing in Rogue One.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: And even the ridiculous amount of.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: Egon is in the afterlife or something along that line.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call that right now. We see Egon
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: in the afterlife.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 4: I hope so.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 7: You can put all of them in there at this point.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 7: I don't know that any of them want to come
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 7: back in live versions, but.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: Dan Aykroyd's too crazy to die.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 7: Well, and we like seeing zombie Bill Murray, so now
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 7: we can see ghost Bill Murray.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 6: You know, the man who would be king... It's like
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 6: just about two guys who want a particular job. I
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 6: never thought about it, though, but how are they both
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 6: going to be king? It seemed like they didn't think
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 6: that through, because there's two guys.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 4: It's Black Panther rules.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 7: You've got to kill each other, and whoever survives gets
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 7: to be king.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 6: It seems like Werner Herzog should have shown up and said,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 6: why do you come all the way out here to
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 6: be king when you can be king back, you know?
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: SCTV did a great parody of that film. I don't
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: know if you ever saw it.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: It was a fake trailer called The Man Who Would
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: Be King of the Popes. And so there was a
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: pope that wanted to be king, and there was a
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: king who wanted to be pope. And then there was
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: another man who was neither king nor pope, but wanted
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: to be the king of the popes. And so, you know,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: they're doing all these imitations. One of them is Richard Burton.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: One of them is Peter O'Toole. One is Richard Chamberlain.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: Catherine O'Hara is doing her.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: Katherine hepburn i.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 6: Can imagine i love her she's amazing she's just the
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 6: greatest i mean and and their imitations are just that
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 6: because john candy's doing a great richard.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: Burton um.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 6: It's funny just to hear it's yeah it's wow um
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 6: there's there's a moment in um the passion of the
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 6: cries that.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 4: For anybody out there who wants to be a carpenter
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: I like where this.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 6: Is set up and nobody ever mentions it but it
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 6: was like it looks at him as a carpenter and
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: he according to the movie he invented the table and
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 6: his mother Virgin Mary said well how do people sit
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 6: at it and he said it's too high and he
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 6: said well you have these chairs And she's like, it'll
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: never catch on.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 4: Is that really in the film? I've never seen the film.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 6: I swear to God that's in the movie. It's like
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 6: one of those things where you're driving.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 7: Every dumb time travel movie has to work in like,
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 7: and this is how this happens.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 4: It's like when you're driving. It's like going back to
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 4: the future.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 6: It's like you're driving somewhere.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 4: But your kids are going to love it.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 6: You hit a bump. You go, what was that? And
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 6: then you never know. It's like, yeah, there was a
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 6: moment in that movie where Jesus invents the table. And
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 6: his mom is like, that'll never catch on.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: Now I want to see that film just so I
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: can see that scene.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 7: It's your cousin Marvin. That John the Baptist guy, let
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 7: me tell you. He's not going to catch on, but
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 7: this Jesus, let me tell you.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: I think that's where we need to round this.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 7: But again, of the list, I've just kind of knocked
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 7: off half of them. So if you want to return
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 7: to this or if anybody out there wants to hear
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 7: more of us rambling about jobs, we can definitely come
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 7: back to this. And again, we've got many others on
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 7: the list. So if you want to come up with
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 7: a topic, throw it at.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 4: Us and we can do this on some.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 7: Other ridiculous topic.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 4: Well, we will leave it with that.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 7: Go think about Jesus and tables and He was ahead
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 7: of his time. He kind of had an inside track
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 7: with that whole God thing.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 4: Anyway, whatever.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 7: Otherwise, that about does it. We will return next time.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 7: Same geek feed.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 4: Thanks for listening.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: Otherwise, he didn't have a wig to stand on.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 6: That's how we're going out.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 21: It's a big job just getting by.
• 1:42:22
