1:22
Anyways, anyways. We like puppets.
1:25
Well, I I love a good puppet I've got.
1:27
It we like puppets. So much so that I picked a movie
1:30
this week about puppets. You know what he did everybody.
1:33
Welcome back to It came from Screen Box.
1:35
We're host Nick and Noah, and this week was Noah's pick.
1:39
But before we get into that pic, let's shout out the sponsors,

2:15
We'll get past that. If you have any movie

2:23

2:33
Now into the movie. Noah, lead us away, buddy.
2:37
All right, so this week I was scrolling around screen box
2:41
looking at the wide selection. And I I like when I'm looking
2:49
like, I like looking at looking up to see if there's like any
2:55
big like Wikipedia page that comes up when you search for
2:58
some of these movies because a lot of the time you know, some
3:00
of the smaller ones, you cocaine crabs, they're like not much
3:04
known about them. So I really like it when there's
3:05
like a story. And this movie has quite a quite
3:11
a story about how it came about and people who had changed hands
3:15
with who was going to be attached to play certain roles.
3:20
There's a lot of lot of interesting stuff there.
3:22
But I picked the 1978 Anthony Hopkins movie Magic, which is it
3:30
was directed by Richard Attenborough, written by William
3:34
Goldman, who is the guy who wrote The Princess Bride.
3:38
Which is crazy to me. Which is It's Actually Magic is
3:42
the book he wrote before he wrote The Princess Bride, which
3:45
was a two-part tribute to a mentor of his.
3:51
That's cool. So he so it's written by him and
3:56
he he also was brought on to write the screenplay.
4:00
It's got Ann, Margaret and Burgess Meredith.
4:03
It's a psychological thriller drama about a struggling
4:06
magician and ventriloquist named Corky, accompanied by a dirty
4:10
talking dummy named Fats, their rise to fame, the effects of
4:14
fame, and his troubled mind. So the story of this goes in
4:21
1976, Joseph E Levine purchased the rights to a novel by William
4:26
Goldman. It was also called Magic, and
4:30
like I said, he wrote The Princess Bride just after this
4:32
one. He purchased those rights for
4:35
$1,000,000 and hired Goldman to write the screenplay for the
4:39
adaptation. There's many differences in the
4:42
book, such as a scene where Corky meets Fats for the first
4:47
time. It actually happens, sort of
4:50
like what we see in the opening where he gets back from a show
4:53
and it did not go well. And he's really, he's like,
4:56
masking how horribly he did. And actually in the book, he was
5:03
going to make an attempt on his life because he didn't see it
5:06
going anywhere. And that's when the first.
5:09
Yeah, that's when the fat's voice appears for the first time
5:13
and he sees this and he sees the dummy.
5:16
There's also in the book, it is presented as like more like
5:21
Diaries from Corky, and it's presented as if these Diaries
5:26
are part of evidence for a crime.
5:29
So that's so it's a bit of foreshadowing.
5:31
I'm sort of where this story is going to go as right when
5:34
they're starting off. You already know it's not going
5:37
to it's not going to end well. So when when you're watching the
5:43
movie, I really don't, I don't really get that impression.
5:47
You know, like it starts off the first time you see Fats.
5:50
It's after a year of them practicing together.
5:56
So bit a bit of different there. The role of the director changed
6:01
hands a few times. Originally it was offered to
6:03
Norman Jewison, who recently had directed Fiddler on the Roof and
6:09
Jesus Christ Superstar, the movie adaptations of those right
6:14
He wanted to cast Jack Nicholson in the lead role of Corky.
6:19
And. Jack Nicholson, Yeah, just like
6:23
Anthony Hopkins is such a great choice.
6:24
But that would have been something special.
6:28
He Jack Nicholson, said he wouldn't do it because he didn't
6:31
want to wear a hairpiece for filming.
6:35
So. But, you know, it is what it is.
6:40
After him, Steven Spielberg, who had just finished his silly
6:43
little movie about a shark or whatever, also was in line to
6:46
direct but eventually declined, preferring to continue his work
6:50
on close Encounters of the Third Kind.
6:53
Spielberg said that he wanted to cast Robert De Niro in the lead.
6:58
So after Spielberg passed on it, Richard Attenborough, who had
7:02
just directed A Bridge Too Far, also starring Anthony Hopkins,
7:06
was brought on to direct. Richard Attenborough, of course,
7:11
played John Hammond in Jurassic Park.
7:13
If you want to put a face to them, he did quite a bit of
7:18
directing and acting and producing.
7:21
He even wrote a score or two. He really was all over the
7:24
place, which I had no idea. And he's not related to David
7:27
Attenborough. No, he's not.
7:29
Probably. Yeah, that.
7:30
Would have been that would have been even crazier, but he
7:34
originally wanted Gene Wilder as the pick for Corky.
7:38
Oh my. But that would have been nuts
7:40
too. Yeah, but at the time, I think
7:44
what they said is that they thought that bringing on a
7:47
comedian would be, it would detract from Corky's very
7:52
serious personality. So.
7:55
Right. So you don't think so?
7:58
No, man. I think it would have been
7:59
different it. Would have been different but I
8:02
think Gene Wilder as Corky cause Gene Wilder can hit those like
8:07
serious like depressing notes. And if you look at like other
8:12
comedians, like not necessarily in that time, but later on, like
8:15
Jim Carrey is always my go to as somebody who can do like the
8:19
wacky, silly Ace Ventura stuff. But then it's also pulling out
8:24
like the really intense, like psychological, the stuff like in
8:28
Eternal Sunshine. Eternal own Robin Williams and
8:31
what dreams may come. Yeah, Robin Williams.
8:33
Exactly. He can go from being genie to
8:35
like one of the most serious actors world.
8:38
'S best dad too, right? Yep, Yep.
8:42
But so Attenborough then cast Anthony Hopkins in the lead.
8:49
They had just worked together. They also brought in and
8:52
Margaret as Corky's high school crush, Peggy and Burgess
8:56
Meredith who is like an all timer legend of the game as
8:59
Corky's manager Ben. There's also a little role from
9:03
Jerry Houser as the cab driver who definitely didn't sell out
9:06
Corky's location to Ben when he asked for it.
9:08
Yeah, what a shithead. Yeah, that's the insinuation.
9:14
Next for the score. Jerry Goldsmith was brought in,
9:17
and Jerry Goldsmith's work is one that you've definitely heard
9:20
before. This is just a short list of
9:23
movies. He did Planet of the Apes from
9:25
19691998. Mulan, which he was part of the
9:29
team for that. It's not a soul thing. 1980s
9:32
Alien Star Trek Voyager in 1995, the mummy and poltergeist.
9:39
That's all him and he's done many, many other things.
9:42
The last thing he did, the last credit he has was in 2000 and it
9:47
was like a Looney Tunes project that.
9:49
Still sweet, I mean. I don't know I'd, I'd never
9:50
heard of it, but it's it, it shows his range.
9:52
Like there's some like some heavy hitters in there, like
9:56
Planet of the Apes, though he did a bunch of Star Trek things.
10:00
An alien was the one I was surprised by.
10:03
Yeah, it's. But.
10:05
Pushed me back a bit too. Yeah, a lot of the high praise
10:09
that the movie got was from the score.
10:13
He obviously is a master and he and he really crushed any
10:18
brought a lot of he brought a lot of like clout to this movie
10:22
despite it already having like those big actors.
10:26
Most of it was shot at a resort in California.
10:30
That's where you see those those cabins.
10:33
There's not too many stories about shooting.
10:36
It seemed like it just went off pretty normally without any
10:38
trouble. There's some interviews with
10:42
Attenborough and Hopkins speaking about how Fats became a
10:46
real member of the crew and how they ended up missing him when
10:51
the when they were done filming. Despite this, there's a story
10:56
from Anthony Hopkins saying how uncomfortable he was with Fats
10:59
early on. He had to spend a lot of time
11:02
with the dummy before Filmy because he was actually learning
11:05
ventriloquism and magic. I did hear that.
11:08
So that's what I I almost brought up a few times just
11:10
while we were watching the movie.
11:11
I'm like, I think because I've seen magic when I was young.
11:16
Yeah. And I was like, I think this we
11:17
were Anthony Hopkins had to like learn actual or was trying to or
11:24
something like that. But yeah, go on, please.
11:25
This is awesome. Yeah, he.
11:27
So he learned the card tricks, the ventriloquism.
11:32
He learned how to throw his voice.
11:33
When he's in the cab, you can see him rolling the quarter over
11:36
his hand. Oh, yeah.
11:38
I like all kinds of tricks that he learned to really fill out
11:42
this role. The movie came out.
11:47
The reception is a little bit mixed.
11:49
Some of the critics were won over by the acting cause.
11:53
Anthony Hopkins is really giving it his all in this one.
11:57
It's a really good What if you've only really seen him as
12:00
an older actor, this is a really good or.
12:02
Hannibal Lecter. Yeah, or his Hannibal Lecter,
12:05
and he's older than that. I think that was that.
12:07
That was a while after this. 90s, Nineties.
12:11
Yeah, that was, it was quite some time.
12:14
It didn't receive many awards despite doing all right with
12:18
audiences, other than an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers
12:22
of America, but it was for the best screenplay.
12:25
So that was an award that William Goldman had won during
12:32
the theatrical run in starting in November, the movie grossed
12:37
$23.8 million. That's on a $7 million budget,
12:43
and the two leads and Margaret and Anthony Hopkins were only
12:49
paid $300,000 each. Damn this movie steam rolled
12:53
then. Yeah, So they crushed it and it,
12:57
you know, in terms of shooting locations, they shoot in like a
13:00
hotel room in New York. Yeah, that's supposed to be in
13:04
New York, a club and a cabin. I mean, it's not.
13:09
Yeah, not super complicated. And there's not a whole lot of
13:12
effects. There are some.
13:14
It came out alongside Animal House and Midnight Express, and
13:18
it did. Yeah.
13:19
So it did have a bit of competition.
13:22
The rights to its distribution had changed hands a few times,
13:27
Disney owned it for a minute, and then it got released to
13:30
someone else, but it did eventually come out on VHS and
13:34
DVD in 2025. Just this year, a couple months
13:39
ago, there was a report that Sam Raimi and Roy Lee were working
13:43
on a remake of the movie with Lionsgate, but there's no
13:46
further information about. That Sam Raimi.
13:48
Evil Dead. Sam Raimi.
13:50
Oh my. Sam Raimi has like other
13:52
projects that like we know are in the works.
13:55
So it's unclear of his role in this, whether he would be like
13:59
involved in its direction or if he's just a producer.
14:02
Oh my God, the article I read on on THR was was kind of
14:07
insinuating it's just a producer role, but still I think.
14:11
Yeah. He's going to get his.
14:13
He's going to get his fingers in there somehow.
14:17
As for Fats the Dummy, in 2006 he was on display in a magic
14:23
shop in New York City. That magic shop closed, and
14:27
though many replicas have been built, the current location of
14:31
the original Fats Dummy is unknown.
14:34
Oh, I hate that. Wasbeyondthegmail.com if you
14:36
know where he is. Yeah, let us know.
14:38
I would love to add that to the to the to our stop list on our
14:43
next summer. See all the places from our
14:46
movies and we're going to find Frog Man.
14:48
We should go. We should.
14:49
We should do something cool next summer.
14:50
We should we should try to line it up, see if we can find
14:54
something cool. But yeah, that's that's sort of
14:59
how this movie came about, how you said you had seen it before.
15:03
I had seen magic when I was young.
15:06
This is definitely a show that my Grant the Movie show movie
15:10
that my grandmother had watched. I think we had it on VHS.
15:13
It's just one of those, like, I just saw it.
15:16
I was always like a weird little kid.
15:18
I always loved like horror movies and like weird movies
15:21
like this. Like, so I was like, oh, yeah,
15:23
cool, I'll watch this. And I watched it and I was like,
15:27
it was too slow for me. As a child, though.
15:29
This movie is way too. It's like, oh, cool, now the
15:32
puppet's live. But then as a kid, that's what
15:36
you think. But like as I get older, I'm
15:37
like, oh, he's just schizophrenic.
15:40
Yeah. Like he's he's he's deeply sick,
15:43
which makes me appreciate the movie 10 times more now because
15:46
that's what it's tackling in. In my opinion.
15:49
He's like sick. But I, I like the movie, man.
15:54
I saw when I was younger, though, like I said, I was like,
15:58
OK, I don't know what this means.
16:00
I'll go, I'll go When I was younger, I went, I will go watch
16:03
Child's play, right? I'll go watch Chucky, yeah.
16:09
Like if I want to see a killer doll, this is not this is not
16:13
what I'm looking for, but this is very much like I say, it's a
16:17
like a psychological, it's more of a drama than a horror movie.
16:21
I there's, there's, there's a bit of murdering in it, but
16:25
it's. Pretty.
16:25
That's not the point, though. Pretty tame.
16:27
That's not the point. The point is like the slip into
16:30
insanity. Yeah, see.
16:32
OK, cool. So we're on the same page then,
16:34
because the doll Fats is not alive.
16:37
No, Fats is in in, in my opinion, Fats is the side of
16:44
Corky that he is like suppressing and this, that's
16:48
always there. Those thoughts are always there.
16:50
And you can see during the performance where he's just
16:54
bombing. When he starts yelling at
16:55
everybody, that is the fast side of him getting out.
17:00
That's what he wishes he could do.
17:01
Fats gives him an outlet to say these things that he knows he
17:05
can't, that Corky can't say, but Fats can because he's that
17:09
character. And, and I think throughout the
17:11
movie it starts to blur the line between who's in control, Is
17:15
Fats in control or is Corky in control until the very end where
17:19
Fats tells him I'm in control of you and is almost commanding him
17:25
like he's the puppet now, Yes. Yeah, I mean, it's a great
17:29
psychological piece because it really shows you like, what,
17:32
like slipping into your own madness and your own woes will
17:35
do to you, especially when it is ruled by.
17:38
Like you are now defined as this, but he is now defined as
17:43
that guy in the. And it's interesting because it
17:47
seems like he knows that something is wrong with him,
17:52
whereas like I feel like like he can, he can try to suppress it,
17:57
but he knows that he can't. Like it's, it's the whole crux
18:02
of the movie is that he is supposed to take a medical exam.
18:06
Of course, it's like the late 70s.
18:09
So I don't really know how thorough a medical exam would
18:11
have been back then. And he won't take it first.
18:16
It seems like he's saying I won't take it because what if
18:20
they find out that something's wrong with me?
18:22
As in like he doesn't think anything's wrong, but later like
18:26
the more he he tries to get away from it, it's like no, he knows
18:31
there's something wrong with him, he just doesn't want people
18:33
to find out. He doesn't want to hear it.
18:35
Yeah, he doesn't want to hear it.
18:36
He doesn't. Want to be told?
18:37
Though, Well, that's his career at that point.
18:40
Yeah, he's like, no, he was in jeopardy.
18:42
Yeah, he's like, I've been able to get to this point.
18:46
Anything that's wrong with me, quote UN quote is going to ruin
18:50
all that work. Right.
18:52
It's almost like it can wait. We'll get back.
18:54
To that, yeah. But like we can't because like
18:56
he's already slipped into that side.
18:57
But it is interesting to see whenever he's in these romantic
19:01
phases with the the one that got away, you know, the one that he
19:05
could never express himself to how he is able to just keep that
19:10
side of Fats away and just be like, no, I'm quirky and I'm a
19:14
weird guy, but hey, listen. But Fats helps him with that
19:17
confidence too. A bit, right?
19:19
There And I think the whole like, yeah, it's interesting
19:24
because Fats does encourage him to be more confident with her,
19:29
but then when he starts spending more time with her, Fats is
19:32
clearly like threatened by that. He's jealous.
19:35
And he's like, oh, what that like?
19:37
There's many ways this movie could end and they do stuff to
19:41
kind of leave it. You know, they they kind of
19:44
leave you hanging there, not really in the sense if you don't
19:47
know what happens, but they kind of like they mislead you a few
19:50
times. I show you like an open-ended
19:52
scene and then you just left to guess until they tell you in the
19:56
next scene. But the IT it feels like if if
20:01
Peggy hadn't had the most integrity of any person not
20:04
wanting to leave her violently alcoholic, abusive husband.
20:11
Because she didn't want him to think that he had failed, which
20:14
is. An insane level together.
20:16
Yeah, it's an insane level of empathy that she has for someone
20:20
who is abusive to her. But I my thing is like, if she
20:24
had left right then there was a chance that Corky would have
20:27
just left Fats behind and it would have just been over.
20:31
Well, if he had been able, if he had been able to get the one
20:36
that got away it that could have been the end.
20:38
But but he went back to fats and she did.
20:42
She wanted to wait. And then it that's where we get
20:46
this ultimate like breakdown where Corky is completely out of
20:50
control. Yeah.
20:52
And and it's it's cool too, because all of like all of the
20:57
lead up to that is Corky having to be Corky because Fats is in
21:01
the cabin. Yeah.
21:04
And then it, it just it, there's a moment where you think it's
21:07
going to stop. You're like, OK, I think he, I
21:09
think he's kind of catching his grip and then he's in the cabin
21:14
and it's like, oh, no, no, no. He's still like lost in his own
21:17
mind, which sucks. He's like, oh, he almost had it
21:21
like, but he just couldn't, he couldn't help it.
21:24
The whole like fats don't let fats talk for 5 minutes scene is
21:29
a great example of a scene done right.
21:32
Because that was 5 minutes. It felt like 5 minutes at least,
21:36
Ross. Washington, yeah, he, yeah, Ben
21:40
the manager shows up and he's like, what the hell are you
21:43
doing out here? And he walks in as Corgi is
21:47
having an argument with fats. And Ben walks in.
21:50
He's like, oh, this is, this is wrong.
21:53
This is not good. He's like, I've seen crazy, but
21:56
this is, this is bad. Like this is not, this is not
21:59
going to work out. And he tries to make he's like
22:02
Corky. If you're really in control then
22:04
keep him quiet for 5 minutes and he like can't make it 2 minutes
22:08
into 5 minutes without like he's like bursting at the seams.
22:13
Yeah, it's like he's going to like physically get sick.
22:16
He's like how much longer? He's like, we've done this for
22:19
30 seconds and he's like 30 seconds and it's like, shit,
22:23
dude. Yeah.
22:23
So like the illness and like the the urge to be fats is there.
22:27
It's it's cool, man. I love that play on the psycho
22:30
traumas that people really carry with them and that going
22:35
unchecked. This is the type of shit that
22:37
happens now. This was also your first time
22:41
seeing this movie, though it was your pick.
22:44
So to lead into our our ratings and our score of the movie,
22:47
Like, what did you think of this movie from like top to bottom?
22:50
So, oh, it started out, I was kind of like, you know, a horror
22:54
movie always has to like establish a plot.
22:57
I really didn't know that it was going to be more of a
23:00
psychological story, more drama than horror.
23:04
Anything. There's, you know, there's some,
23:06
some horror elements to it for sure.
23:08
But I like, I feel like it dragged a lot.
23:12
It was slow. I was kind of waiting, you know,
23:15
waiting for stuff to like happen and for for everything to kick
23:20
off, but that that kind of event never really came.
23:26
It was more of like a slow burn in a slow climax until there's
23:30
just sort of like a tipping point where there's no coming
23:33
back from this. And it all feels like this is
23:36
all going to fall apart eventually.
23:37
We're just waiting for that to happen.
23:39
And it was somewhat satisfying where I'm going to give I'm
23:41
going to spoil the end, but in the end, Fats is going to force
23:47
Corky to kill Peggy. And we don't see it.
23:50
We just see Quirky come back to the cabin and he's been stabbed
23:56
at by himself. And he at that point, he is
24:00
like, he's completely given into it.
24:05
And it's sort of this relief like this, this will be over.
24:08
Like she's not going to have to suffer with me.
24:10
And that ending, it felt very earned.
24:14
And it felt like, yeah. Like we made it there.
24:17
Yeah, like this guy's fight, like this is probably one of the
24:21
better case scenarios for his ending.
24:24
And in that in those like final moments, like Fats isn't angry
24:28
at him. He's he's scared and he's
24:30
nervous and he wants to be close to him.
24:33
It is very like he's like once once they're on the other side
24:39
and like they know that this is like going to be the end.
24:41
He's like, I know, I know with that what we did was bad, but
24:44
I'm still like, I don't want to like they didn't.
24:47
He didn't want to be separated from him by anything.
24:51
So I was really, definitely really satisfied with it.
24:55
It just kind of dragged. So if we're doing the rating,
24:58
I'd give it a three out of five because it was just, it was only
25:01
an hour and like an hour and a half.
25:04
It felt like 2 1/2 eight. Hours it goes.
25:06
It goes on for some time. It felt like.
25:11
I definitely think it's worth a watch if you got like trying to
25:14
have a low key night where you want to watch something
25:16
interesting. It's young Anthony Hopkins.
25:18
It's always cool to see these like legendary actors doing
25:22
something before they were huge. Definitely interesting,
25:27
definitely worth a watch. 3 out of five goes on for too long.
25:31
Hell yeah. I do feel like the ending is
25:35
deserved once you've finished the movie.
25:37
It's it's very, very good. It's non compromising.
25:40
It's hey, this is what happens. I like that a lot.
25:43
I'm the movie does drag on drag's on to the point where you
25:47
really there's multiple times I'm like, OK, is this where it
25:50
might end? Like it's like it's just going
25:52
to resolve itself. Like, are we just going to run
25:54
off with the girl? Or, you know, is Butch the
25:57
Butch, right? Or no Duke, Yeah.
26:03
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke. Or is like Duke going to just
26:06
kill like winner on the bottom? I'm like, OK, Duke's going to
26:08
kill him. That's it, right?
26:10
Revenge possibly or. Or is Corky going to kill Duke?
26:13
Or is Corky going to come out the water?
26:14
Right. There's a whole thing there and
26:17
none of that happens. I'm like, OK, fine.
26:18
And then we get to the end. What happens in the end happens.
26:21
The only thing that really Mars the end was Peggy doing that
26:26
thing with the stone where she was throwing her voice.
26:32
Well, I think she was just doing a fats impression.
26:35
Oh, because she wouldn't know that Corky's dead in the cabin
26:38
yet. No, she doesn't know.
26:39
Either she's like and yeah, she was like, OK.
26:41
She was up in the house and he stabs himself in the house and
26:44
then comes back down to not kill her.
26:49
So she doesn't know that that any of that's happened, and the
26:52
insinuation is that she would have found him there.
26:55
And that she was ready to go. Duke's not coming back.
26:58
They're good to go. Yeah.
27:01
OK, that sucks. Yeah, No, I mean, then that
27:04
doesn't ruin the ending. It kind of makes it better.
27:06
It's like a really set no one wins.
27:09
It it really is kind of like tragic.
27:11
Yeah, no one wins. It's not, you know, it's not our
27:15
it's not like our other picks where it's been like a silly
27:18
thing or a horror movie type of thing.
27:20
This is this is just really like it's just really exploring that
27:25
that crisis, that identity problem.
27:30
But would you going to rate it? I'm going to give it a three,
27:33
given the cool nature behind the film.
27:37
I think overall it's a good movie.
27:39
I think it's a movie that everyone's going to like at all.
27:41
This is not for everybody. If you're not wanting to watch
27:45
something really slow paced with a giant lead up to an ending
27:49
that is in my opinion, satisfactory and awesome, other
27:53
people are going to see that and go.
27:54
That's bullshit. Yeah, and a lot of the critics
27:58
were let down by the ending. Yeah, people are going to see
28:01
that and go this, that's bullshit.
28:02
He's just dead. OK, But like, it's good, man.
28:07
It's, it's fine. It's not fun to watch that.
28:10
That's the thing. It is not.
28:12
There's some good funny moments, but it's not a fun film.
28:15
It's a good film. It's not a fun film.
28:19
That's yeah, I'm going to go to three.
28:20
It drags on, but when it hits those high notes, it really hits
28:24
those high notes. And unfortunately, when it hits
28:26
those low dips, it hits those low dips.
28:29
No movies. Perfect.
28:30
This one is definitely an interesting one.
28:33
I think. Yeah yeah.
28:35
Definitely worth a watch. 3 out of five.
28:38
There you go. For being just middle of the
28:40
road. It's just it just hits that
28:44
mark. It's it's definitely
28:46
recommendable, but it is like recommended asterisks.
28:50
It is slow and kind of like just going on but.
28:54
It just, it just, it has its own story to tell.
28:56
If you have somebody around who wants to like talk about it
28:59
after, there's really a lot of themes and a lot of stuff that's
29:03
makes for good conversation about this.
29:05
And that's that's what it's all about.
29:07
I know, right? That's otherwise I'd be saying
29:09
this to the dog and she doesn't really.
29:12
She's not having a conversation. Penny's like it's time to like,
29:14
do something, Pops her brother and Noah.
29:17
She's expecting something. That's magic folks, that is
