  Speaker 1: What's up? Welcome to Movie Meltdown.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: I'm Brian.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I'm Marlena.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And we're coming to you live via digital recording from
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the outskirts of Days of the Dead Culture Shock. It's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: their own subsection, subgenre, genre fest. And it's awesome. Well, Anna,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: what's the most exciting thing you've come across today? And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're holding it in your hand. I know your answer.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I got these gruesome greeting cards. They're from the Tops Company,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: circa 1992. And they are awesome, except they're all glued together,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: which is unfortunate.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: That's because they were glued together in the 80s.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: In the 90s.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Are you sure?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Since 92. That's still a long time. It's still a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: good 20 years.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: It's a long time for glue to turn into some
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: sort of cement.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why they were ever glued together in
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the first place.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Why would they have.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Been glued together in the first place? It just seems unnecessary.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Just to mess with kids.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I think so. But I want to open them, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: they're stuck.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It makes so much more.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Because they are so innocuous on the outside. Like, I've
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: been missing you more and more, and there's something really
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: subversive on the inside, and I can't see what it says,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and it's driving me insane.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So these are not officially associated with the... garbage pail
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: kids but they're very in the spirit of garbage pail
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: kids i think.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I i never thought i'd say this but i think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: i enjoy these more than garbage pail kids because garbage
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: pail kids are just like in your face these are
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: like these are very lure you into a false sense
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of security yeah and then poop on.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You nice the front of them is usually a very
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: cutesy little picture that's like Most of them are like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: weird sappy stuff. I mean, this one has two pigs
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: on it and it says, and it's a nice little
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: cutesy drawing of two pigs and the boy pig says,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you are so lovely, darling, that I want to give
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you the moon. And then you open it up and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he's showing her his ass. That's the kind of humor
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we're talking about here.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You're sugar and spice and everything nice. Am I flesh
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: eating weasels like you too?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's the inside punchline on that one.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So many. Sweetie, if I could give you the moon
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to live on, you freak.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That one actually doesn't make sense. I feel like they're
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: missing a word there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It does seem grammatically wrong, but I like the spirit
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of him calling her a freak.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And then, darling, all I want is your hand and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: mine forever. And it's like this nice....
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Sort of cross-stitchy.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And then it says the rest of you I can
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: live without and it's like a deranged hunchback holding a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: severed hand. Like a dead I don't know like our
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: crumb-esque looking girl in the alley behind him. It's amazing.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: It can't be crumb-esque she doesn't have a giant ass
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or thighs.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Well she doesn't have a body.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I don't know if you would
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: bother drawing a girl.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: But like the art is different and it looks like
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: All of it looks like it was done by somebody
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: important or famous or something, but I don't really know.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like one of them said something about the art.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: One card out of all. The scratch and stink one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do have how many? One in four or
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: something like that. It has a special scratch and sniff,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: although they specifically say scratch and stink option.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It says one scratch and stink every pack, but I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: don't think I have a scratch and stink in every pack.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like it lied to me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: You got ripped off.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: No, maybe it does. I really like to open them
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: because my curiosity is peaked.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: She can't focus on anything else, people. It's pretty sad.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I think you're good looking, witty, intelligent, and you have
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: your whole life ahead of you. What could this possibly
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: say on the inside? I need to know.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Burn in hell.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Baby, I've got you under my skin. And it's like
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: this cheesy man.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's Bono, isn't it?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It looks like Steven Seagal.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It's like a mixture of Bono and Steven Seagal. It's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a nightmare.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And maybe like MacGyver or something. I don't know. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I just need to know. Like, welcome home, my dear friend.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: While you were gone, the sun stopped shining, the wind
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: stopped blowing, dot, dot, dot. Like, what does it possibly say?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I need to know. Yeah, it's killing me.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: It's just going to implode.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But aside from your random haul of collectible cards here,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: what is the real reason this brought you here?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: John Waters.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And were you not sitting next to him just a
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: few short moments? I sat next to him.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: My arm touched his arm.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And how excited are you?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I was really excited. But when I get really excited,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I get tired. You're very special. That's how I process excitement.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Very special. So, yes, John Waters was awesome.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We got our special little moment to hang out with him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Poster signed.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Poster signed.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Picture.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Special limited edition artwork.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really fun. Not very many people have
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: liked it on Instagram, though.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: So far.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with them?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's only been five minutes, but.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That could be part of it. You know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I feel like it should be liked by hundreds of people.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's been a while. Have you any new stories
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of your adventures in Marlena Land?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know... so many things happen. So many things that
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I forget. I don't know. It's like, how do I
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: narrow it down to just one story? And it's like,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like they're not that funny. You would have,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of them are just like, you would have
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: had to have been there.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Take us there. Describe it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's creepy. Please don't ever talk like that ever again.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Or all the time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Like, See, I don't even know if this is going
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to be funny to just talk about it. Like, last week,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: my friends and I, it was my friend's birthday, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: we decided to walk from the bar that we were
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: at back to our house, and they were both kind
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: of drunk, and I was not. So we had to, like,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: climb over the snow mountain, and then there was a
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: car coming, and I told them to hide. I didn't
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: tell them to hide. I said, get out of the street,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and they hid. They, like, ran and, like, dived behind
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this random minivan. And then one of them peed her
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: pants because she was laughing so hard. And I was like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I did not fucking tell you to hide. Why did
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you hide? It was a car. It wasn't like a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: kidnapping van or something. Like, I don't know.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Which is usually following you around.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: These are the people you hang out with.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: No, I just, not really. I just, there's something about
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: me that attracts strange stalkers. No normal people ever want
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to be my friends, just like weirdos.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I really feel like I'm letting you down on the stories,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but I mean, funny things have happened for sure, but
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they just get filed away, you know? Got a lot
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of other important things I have to remember.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Shenanigans.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lord.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty low on the list right now. I mean,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I'll think of it when I'm not supposed to be
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: talking about them. That's the way it always happens.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You said you could handle the other half of this episode.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I don't ever have anything useful. That's why I create random, like,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: specific things that we have to talk about or people
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: we have to talk to. Because I've realized in the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: regular world, I have nothing to say. I have no
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: actual conversational skills outside of talking about geeky things.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I tried to watch a movie last night. It was
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: called Submarine. From what I could tell, it's pretty funny.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: But I've only watched, like, the first ten minutes, maybe.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe seven. I fell asleep.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: What did your dog think about it?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: They had their heads under the blankets the whole time,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: so they didn't... Nope. I did wake up, like, with
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the heating blanket cord wrapped around my neck. Almost died.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think your dogs are secretly trying to murder you?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably. If they could, they would. If they had
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: opposable thumbs... They'd come up with a better plot.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Probably.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I often tell mine that. That's the only reason they
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: keep me around, is I can open the food bin.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: That's true. I like to think that... I asked my roommate,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, do you think the dogs love me?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: He's like, I mean, well, you feed them. Sometimes. And
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, but do you think they love me?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: He's like, no.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Nice. Nice. Mine are way too excited to have me around.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: They still don't calm down.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, they attack and claw the hell out of me,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: but they do it with love.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, my dogs are the same way, but I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know if he was saying that
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to be mean or if he was just saying that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes he just says like, I don't remember last
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: night I was driving him home from work and I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: said something about, I was like, oh my God, look
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: at my face. And And Jessica was like, well, it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: just like your face. And he's like, yeah, I mean,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that's how your face always looks. I was like, I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: have makeup running all down my face. I was like,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I look like a monster. He's like, that's just how
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you always look. And I was like, thanks. He's like, no,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying like you have a terrible face or anything.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You're just not writing these cards you just bought. I know, right?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Your face. Let me tell you about your face. It's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: not like the worst face. And then you open it up.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: There's this guy that comes into my work. His name is...
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say his name.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Make him a code name.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: He has a code name.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Make him an extra different code name.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. To tell the story, I have
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to say his actual name.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Okay.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Well, he walks like he's about to poop his pants.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Like he has this weird walk. And I'm only making
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: fun of this guy because he's super annoying. I don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: mean like, oh, he's so helpless and like. I don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: think he is. He's just weird and he's fucking annoying.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people like that in the world.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: But he walks like he's about to shit his pants.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So he's earned the nickname Diarrhea Dan. But his real
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: name is worse than Diarrhea Dan. It's like, God, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: don't want to say it. So I'll give him like
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a fake name. Let's just say it's like Kip Kitterton.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Kip Kitterton.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: That's pretty bad, yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: That is, like, pretty close to what his name actually is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But it's just like, God damn. When I found out
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: what his name was, I was like, God, that's so
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: much worse than diarrhea, Dan.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Neither's good, I'll tell you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, I'm not knocking a name that has alliteration.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I think that's fun. I mean, I have alliteration in
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: my name. But two Ks, it's just the worst. Like,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Kip Kinkle, he was so ashamed of his name that he, like,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: shot people to deal with.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It's always worked for Clark Kent.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's two C's.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: One of them's not.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're... I don't know how to spell. Just
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: stop it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: This looks like a job for the alphabet.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Remember that conversation we had earlier about how people are
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: always really surprised when they find out that I'm actually
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: kind of smart?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I think you put on a good snow job.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I do. I do.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I believe I said your specialness covers it up. You're
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: very special.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Once I was out with a friend and then her
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: friend and she asked me like what I was in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: school for. And I told her and she didn't even
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like know what it was. But she's like, I never like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: she's like, wow, I never knew you were like smart.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: She's like, you just, like, don't seem smart. I'm like,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I was, like, really mad. Because, I mean, like, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: know I'm, like, goofy and everything like that, but I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: get really, like, very competitive. I'm, like, very academically competitive.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: That made me very mad.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: There's a difference in book smarts. And then there's, like,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: street smarts. Are there goofy smarts? I don't know.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, when I was, like, younger, I used
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to be, like, and I get like this sometimes, too,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: but I used to be one of those assholes that's, like.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, according to Proust, blah, blah, blah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: You know, and I realized, like, nobody.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Comic book guy, but only for literature.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, like, nobody cares.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what you learn.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: That's a really good way to, like, alienate yourself, you know?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: And it's just, like, I have a really good repertoire
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: with all my professors because, like, I'm the funny person.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You know, like, I mean.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: You're certainly funny.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I think I've found that even in the geek circles,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know, that we run in. Because to me, it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like that's, because I will see people at, I'm not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: saying at conventions, but I go to a lot of conventions.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: But anywhere that I am that's very geek-centric, you know,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: any of your random comic book shops and, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: places that geeks hang out, there is a weird, like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: know-it-all mentality that a lot of people have and a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: one-upsmanship that a lot of people have. And I think
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: that's the dividing line to me. It's like, people that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: are self-aware enough to, A, realize most people do not
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: care what it is that you're going into right now
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: or what you're trying to correct them about. I'm like,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they don't care. So just don't waste your breath. Like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you're not doing anybody any good. You're just frustrated and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they're annoyed by you. So it's like, I feel like
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that in general is something, you know, and just that
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: level of self-aware that, like, you're not being obnoxious to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: other people is what separates the, like, cool geeks from...
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: From the annoying geeks of the world.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So I, again, I, it's, it's not even that it's
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: not even like trying to like one up people or
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: correct them. It's just like, it's like, I love what
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I do and I love what I study, but if
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like hanging out with my friends, like I don't
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: really want to have a conversation about like, I don't know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: genetics or like communism or some, anything like, no, like
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: let's talk about like, some cartoon you watched or like.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I did that yesterday as we got into a very
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: detailed discussion about Thundar the Barbarian. And there was a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: recognition between, there were like three of us and we
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: were all sort of, we were guys obviously because it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: hard to find a girl geek that's that hardcore about Thundar.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and everyone was roughly around the same age.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So we just tapped into this like childhood cartoon Saturday
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: morning vein and it was like this, This weird little
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: bond was just, yeah, it was, I liked those moments.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But again, we were all involved in the conversation. We
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: all knew what the other person was talking about. We
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: were all sort of like adding things to that. Oh yeah,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: remember they did this? So it's different than the like
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: wanting to nitpick and argue over everything. I think there's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a very specific, and again, that's just, I have no
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: problem talking about the things that I like. In fact,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I prefer that. I don't like having to talk about
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: things In the real world.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I guess I just like to compartmentalize things. So it's
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: just like I have one sphere where people talk about
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: school stuff and important issues and stuff in the world
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and all that jazz. And then when I'm hanging out
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: with my friends, we want to talk about Broad City.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: See, I just boycotted the first half of that. Cereals.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Like I don't talk to people in the real world
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: pretty much at all most of the time. And then
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I'll find my geek crew out there and we just,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we're knee deep in it and we're all on the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: same playing field. We all know we're willing and everybody
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: enjoys it. So I'm okay with that. It's just when
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the two people mix is when you have problems.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The only thing I've watched lately is Broad City, by
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the way. That's all I've ever watched anywhere because it's
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: so good. So good.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Which one is this one?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: You've never seen Broad City?
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I know the title, and it gets mixed up with
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the 400 other TV shows that everybody goes on about.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: No, it does not. Broad City is a story roughly
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: based on my life, minus the drug use. I'm not
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: into that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I have that, too. It's called The Goldbergs, and it's awesome.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Basically, it's about two girls who run around New York
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: getting into trouble. Some, literally some of the things that
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: have happened to them have happened to me and my
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: best friend.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: And you've probably told the story on this show. Probably.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Like the last episode that I saw, like the main girl,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I guess, got stuck in a hole.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: This does sound like you and Winnie the Pooh.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: And they didn't have their cell phones because they were like, no,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: we're going to boycott our cell phones for the day.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: But then they came upon this random group of soccer-playing boys,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and they're like, we don't need our cell phones. What
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: are we, like, teenage girls? Boys! We're just like, very, very,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you know, that's something that would happen in my life.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Now, who stars in this other than you? On the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: TV version?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Lana and Abby.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I thought maybe it had like a person of interest
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and not that Caviezel guy.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know who that is.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Well, yep. Mine is the Goldbergs and it's awesome. So
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you should watch that.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Is the Goldbergs about Jewish people?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: They have the name Goldberg and we'll leave it at that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much all I know on that end because
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: they really don't go into that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that because Abby and Ilana are both
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Jewish and like I mean, I'm not a practicing Jew, obviously, but, like,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: my family heritage is Jewish, and so is my best friend,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: so it's like... I think that's why we're funny. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: think there's truth in that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I think you're funny because you're special. Special.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, Seinfeld says, is it racist if you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: like it?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: If I like the race, does that make it racist?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. I mean, like... you know.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Technically i think that's kramer just to not get the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: wrong character in trouble okay sorry well jerry makes that
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: comment but wasn't he talking about kramer because he had
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a thing for asian women yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: As we all know that that couldn't.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Even be true because yeah we know kramer is not
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: racist at all i haven't heard anything i don't know.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: What you're talking about oh yeah um So on the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: same day that our friends like ran and hid, for
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: some reason we thought it would be really hilarious to
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: have a seance. I don't know why.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Special.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: But I don't remember what happened.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It was late.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: But I think we like made secret wishes and then
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: like prayed to, I don't know. Who do you pray
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to during a seance?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: You sure you're not eight years old? Based on all
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: these stories, I'm pretty sure you're eight years old.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Funny about it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Nothing that cool has happened. I went to New Orleans.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That's not cool.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: That is cool. We actually, we didn't have any money
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: so we just walked around all day and like took
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: pictures and stuff. Made it seem like we were having
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a better time than we were. But really we were
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: like hungry and our feet hurt. We were like We
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, I'm so ready to go back home.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: But we'd, like, post pictures and be like, having a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: great time, guys.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks. Oh, the lies. Internet, interpersonal communication.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: But it's one of those things, like, it's one of
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: those things where, like, your memory of a place is
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: better than the place was. You know, and I've been
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to New Orleans, like, several times. And, like, I do
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: love it there. But it was just, it was rainy
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and we were poor. So, like. We weren't staying in
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the quarter, so we had to, like, travel really far
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: to get to the... I mean, it's not, like, the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: French Quarter. It's the only cool part of New Orleans.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But we didn't even have money to take, like, a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: cemetery tour, which my friends really wanted to do. But for, like... It's, like,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: 20 bucks. Fuck that. I don't know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's usually how that goes, though. It's, like... And, again,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I think that... Maybe that didn't happen until we invented
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the camera. Do you think your memories of stuff were as, like.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Cheesy and happy as they were, like, hundreds of years ago.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I kind of think hundreds of years ago, people's,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the average person's life was all about struggle, and people
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: didn't have vacations.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Or things like that. You're lucky to not die, so.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: So that's, like, a moot point, but.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Like, coincidentally, around the time when we invent the camera, like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: even going back to, like, really old photos, it's always, like,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: people all, like, gathering together and taking cheesy shots and, like,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: group photos.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about, like, first photos?
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: If you go back, even really old black and white
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: photos of people at events, it's not really very different
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: from the photos we're taking now. We're just doing it
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: with way more small and technical pieces of machinery. But
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I feel like the photos still have that same spirit of, woohoo,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: look what we're doing. I don't know that that existed
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: until we invented the camera to try to preserve a moment,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: even if that moment's not exactly happening like that.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, photos are always manufactured. I mean, unless it's, like,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: totally candid and no one knows that it's there. Like,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: a photo is a manufactured glimpse into a moment.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It's you preserving a moment. But the moment starts with
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you going, say cheese! And everybody goes, hey, post bullshit.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like that really, you know, that didn't happen until, like,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: the 50s or when people started owning. Maybe the 40s
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: because people still had, like, film cameras. Slides and things
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: like that in the 40s. But, I mean, not until
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: people got their own cameras. Because, like, the first photos
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: people really only took very, very... Sometimes when you were dead.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, the reason that a lot of, like, memento
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: mori photos exist is because that's the only time you...
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: It's your first and last photo.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: It's the only thing your family has to remember you by. So,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: photos were like an event. It wasn't just like... while
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I'm bored let's take a photo it was like a
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: big deal like a photographer had to come to town
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: and be paid like a lot that's.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Why put together this contraption light powder there's a whole
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: different world than the selfies we take today but I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: still feel like there's a.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Little element to that I mean I think I think
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: photos are always manufactured you know I mean photos of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: people if you're aware if you're aware that the photo
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: is being taken then you're going to behave accordingly.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: So I mean, that's half the reason we came here today,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: was just to go sit next to John Waters and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: take our picture. Be like, hey, look, this one time
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I met John Waters. It was awesome. It's not like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: you were hungry, like you were, and you were mad
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: because you couldn't get your card to part. But later,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you'll look at that photo and be like, that day
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I met John Waters.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Was so awesome. I wasn't hungry when I met John Waters.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: We'd just gotten back from Congress.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Talk about earlier when you were like, this sucks. I'm hungry.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And then we couldn't find a place to eat. We're
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: going to forget all of that nonsense when we wandered
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: down the street and your phone was fighting with you
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and it wouldn't tell you any place to get food.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think that just depends. Some people, like,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: preserve memories of the good things about events and other
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: people don't. I think it's just perspective. I don't necessarily
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: think that photography plays a big role in that. It's just,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know, how you choose to remember something.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But I think we didn't have a way to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: specifically pinpoint a moment like that before then. I guess
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: diaries maybe were the closest thing people had to like,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I want to remember everything about this moment kind of thing.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: But up until we had a way to physically, visually
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: capture it, it then gives you that little window, literally,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of like, oh yeah, this is where I was and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: this is who was there and this is what, you know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: It then triggers all these weird memories of what else
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you were doing at the day.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. kind of feel like life
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: up until the last i mean post in the post-modern
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: era like life is varied and i mean not interesting
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: for everybody but it's like it's not that monotonous like
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: some people have very monotonous lives but in general most
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: people don't you know like if there was something worth
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: remembering when your great-grandparents were alive those things were like
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: few and far between you know like because life was
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: rough yeah not even we're.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Just kind of spoiled now not even that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: It's just your your daily life was pretty much the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: same day to day you know like monday through friday
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: you did the same thing and you know you were
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you lived like a very routine life and now it's
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like i mean with travel and globalization and the internet
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and all these factors like I never do the same
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: thing two days in a row even though my life
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: is like booked like full of the same things that
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I have to do every day you know like I
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: can go to Target on Monday and then I can
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: go to TJ Maxx on Tuesday living the crazy life this.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Is how your life works where am I going to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: go buy stuff.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Today yeah exactly um so I think just People have
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: more to remember than they did. I mean, if you
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: had a dance or a ball or a wedding or
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: a funeral or any major life event, you didn't have
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: those every day. You remembered it pretty well because the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: memory of that was really the only entertainment you had.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: But do you think it made it more impressive? Like
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it made more of an impression on you because... It
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: was such a big deal to you. Whereas now, because
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: we do so much stuff, they start to lose their shine.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I think studies have shown that our attention spans
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: are fading just because they're overstimulated. I mean, it's just
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: like a constant. You're like constantly bombarded with sensory, like
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: different sensory experiences. And, you know, it shortens your memory
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: and it shortens your attention span. So I feel like
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: people need photographs and. blogs and live journal and shit
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to remember stuff because honestly like i have an excellent
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: memory you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Know but you couldn't remember any stories of anything that happened.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: To you i have an excellent memory for certain things
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: but other things i don't like ask me what i
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: did yesterday and i'm i remember that i went to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: work but and i can remember it all at a
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: later date like it's not like i forget it's just
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that recalling it is difficult for me just because there's
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: so much I.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Mean, we are. I've said that many times in the
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: last few years as you've watched, like, even just watch, like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it's bad enough, I guess, that we sit in front
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of the television as much as we do as a nation,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: as a world. But, like, even look at the images
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on the television. Like, in the 50s, it was just
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: leave it to Bieber and that was it. And now, like,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you switch channels and half the time there's a window
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in the top and a person here throwing information at
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you and they're showing images in the window and there's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a ticker running by the bottom and there's a logo
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: over here and like we're even within the image we're
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: looking at we're bombarded with four or five other things
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: going on plus you have a window to everything that's
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: going on, like all the horrors of the world, where
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: we used to just be confined to our neighborhood. If
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it didn't happen there, maybe in a couple of weeks
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: you'd hear about it in the newspaper. But we're now
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: immediately bombarded with information from around the globe.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not just the immediate... news it's just news
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: isn't censored like it used to be like world war
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: ii is thought of as a good war because it
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: was heavily censored everything that you were allowed to learn
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: about the war was approved yeah but now it's i
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: mean with social media it's pretty much anyone can say
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: whatever they want and it's really scary because well every
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: asshole has an opinion every got this show every asshole
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: can publish their article online and you know, it's like,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: it's disturbing how many people think like Huffington post is
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: news or, you know, it's like, it's not, it's not news.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, it might be, it might be like a
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: small amount of information, but it's not fact checked.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's not, it has no weight. It's not valid.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: You know, like, I think it's, I think it is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the amount of information though. I think, and that's what
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I've questioned in the last couple of years is like,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the human mind is equipped to
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: handle that much stuff that is now being thrown at us.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: And maybe that is what is taking its toll on
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: it is that we're losing our ability to remember things
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: or like we can't focus on anything for any amount
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: of time. Like it may little by little be really
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: doing damages that we don't even realize in the moment.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But if you look ahead 20, 30 years and see
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: what our brains and our society has turned into.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: It might be very different. It's going to be an
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: interesting ride in this new world.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's always a push and a pull to everything,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: you know? So, I mean, we can get so burned
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: out on technology in 10 years, like everyone's back to
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: watching fucking marionette shows instead of television.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Hey, I'm working on mine right now.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: But you never, everyone just assumes that there's like an
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: onward trajectory of of civilization. Like we start at one
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: point and we're going to like continuously advance technologically and socially.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: And that's not always the case.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a collapse in the middle and it will
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: take a couple hundred years to rebuild.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes there's a collapse. And then sometimes people are just like,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I don't, this isn't just, I'm not saying that, you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: technology is going to phase itself out. I don't think
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: that's likely.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: But I.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Mean, if you think about, the way we eat, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the way we process food and things like that. No,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: but I mean, we were, we thought we'd solved hunger.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: We thought we'd solved like, I don't know. I mean,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: now you can.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: All the world's problems. Instead, we opened up this new
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Pandora's box of like how to destroy humans so much
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: faster and more efficiently than before.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, I think people realize that things are
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: really bad. sometimes and then they reroute or find a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: different way to get the same like solution i don't
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: know i don't really know what i'm trying to say
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: i'm just rambling on.
• 32:59

• 35:40
  Speaker 9: Hi, stupid!
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Hi, ugly!
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Don't miss this rabid feast of cinema decadence from the
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: creator of Pink Flamingos, John Waters' Desperate Living.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: It isn't very pretty.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Coming soon from Saliva Films.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I did watch a few things last week. One
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: is a little different, and then we've got sort of
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: a double feature unofficially. The first one was a documentary
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: called The Internet's Own Boy. Have you heard about this?
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: No.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting. This kid's super genius and was figuring
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: out the internet a decade before most people.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, so before Al Gore invented it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have the inventor of the internet in this movie.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: It's not Al Gore.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I never thought that it was.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, neither did I. But I do like that they
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: actually do publicly, like, look, here's the actual guy who
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: really invented the internet. And, like, at that point, they were, like,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: several people trying to do something similar in these different
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: little pockets. And he's like, no, you can't have it
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: be a sectioned little thing. Like, if it's going to work,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it has to be the worldwide. Like, he's the one
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: telling them, no, everything has to work together or the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: whole thing's going to fall apart. So that guy's pretty
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: awesome that he's worked in there, too. But, like, even
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: he saw how, like, impressive this kid was. Like he
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: was inventing Wikipedia for his friends, like before, you know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: years before it actually got made. Like he came up
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: with the concept and had a running version of it beforehand.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: So this kid's super smart anyway. So you see him
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: as like a boy genius, more or less coming up
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: in the world and the different stuff he starts designing
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and the things that he starts doing. And then he
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: starts doing some things that kind of piss people off.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: It's arguable how right and wrong they are. But then
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the people he's doing it to are also kind of wrong.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: And then the government gets involved. And so it will
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: probably infuriate people for one reason or another. But it's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: pretty well put together. I think by the end, it
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: slows down massively. And we come to a very specific conclusion.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: But I still feel like we don't know why he did,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: especially towards the end, why he does what he does.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And I feel like it would have been more useful
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: to kind of figure out or somebody along the way
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: to try to figure out what was going on towards
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the end there. But regardless, it's really interesting who he
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: was and what he was able to do.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at pictures of Jennifer Lawrence as Joy, the
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: inventor of the Miracle Mop and the twisty turban.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Does it tell how she had a meltdown?
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Jennifer Lawrence had a meltdown.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: On the set. Because her old pal was yelling at
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: her again from what some sources say.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: It's not easy being a single mom, J-Law.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah, supposedly she and David O. Russell got in
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: a yelling match, which that's not unusual from what we hear.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: But somehow everybody still ends up loving him in the
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: long run. Well, maybe not George Clooney, but a lot
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: of the other people have come around and are still
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: like actually friends with him and like working with him again.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: So.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: He's a strange one, that David O.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Russell.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what his filmmaking technique is exactly.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I just want there to be a really
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: important movie made about my life one day. That's all
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I want.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Who are you casting?
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it could be posthumously, because
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about being famous, but it would
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: be really cool if someone made a movie about my life.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until they get that scene where your
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: friends are hiding in the bushes.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I know, right?
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe it will involve time travel. Cause that was the
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: rest of the stuff I watched. There was, and I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: didn't really realize it. I just sort of went, Oh,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I want to see this. And I heard this was
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: pretty good. And I got home and was like, Oh,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: these are like massive time travel movies. So, um, the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: first one actually, David on the show a month or
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: two ago was going on about, um, how good a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: lot of the DC animated stuff was. And that even
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: the ones I'd seen are really good. And, really well
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: written and not at all for kids, especially since a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: lot of them are rated PG 13 now. So like,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: they're definitely trying to go a different way. And this
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: was the, I think technically it's under the justice league
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: banner more or less, but it's the flashpoint paradox. It's
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: really well done. Like it does a whole, like basically
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: you kind of see flash at the beginning and then
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: sort of post credits, he wakes up and like the
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: whole world is different. And, people are there that weren't
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: there and people are gone or don't know him that
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: he used to be friends with. And like, everything is different.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: And especially all the superheroes that we know in this
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: world are massively different. Some of which are now like,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: if you start to see an alternate universe where, okay,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: what if you had that much power, but you weren't
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: such a good guy? Like what if you decided to,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, try to take over the world and
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: just like, so then you've got a couple of them
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: sort of warring with each other to, world domination like
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: when you have that much power you can see how
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: easily it would be corrupted and you just become an
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: evil dictator like most other people with power in the
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: world so that's really interesting we also get a different
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: take on Batman that's really well done like everything about
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: it is just massively well written all the animation looks
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: great acting is good so it's like everything involved is pretty.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Cool So do you think Joy Mangano, or however you
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: pronounce her last name, invented the whole gobble hanger? Or
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: do you think she just, like, marketed it under her name?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Is this the twisty mop lady?
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she also has, like, the roly-poly jewelry organizer thing, and.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I don't really know this weird woman.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: She's, like, a whole line of stuff at Target. She, like,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: is huge on the Home Shopping Network.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: I've gladly not been one.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: She did....
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: She did something else that was, like, really, really popular.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what it was. It's like pre.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I have good things to say about Flashpoint Paradox.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Followed by Predestination, which just recently, again, I don't know
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: how much of a theatrical run it had. It definitely
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: hit Blu-ray recently. I just heard good things about the plot.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: It's actually like a Robert Heinlein short story. Again, I
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: had to go back and check because I felt like
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the stuff that they're working in is so now, you know,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is so like kind of falls right into what certain
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: people are dealing with today. So it's really weird that
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: all that stuff really was in the original short story
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and it was published in 1959. And there's a lot of,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: and again, I almost don't want to spoil any of
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: it because I think this thing is really well put together,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: but it all kind of, it's better that it all
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: kind of unfolds as you're watching it. So it's, um, Yeah,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive to know that it was actually in
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the original short story and all this weird stuff that
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: seems like maybe they pulled it in just to be
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: topical is not the case. It's all in the original
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: short story. And it's also one of those, you know,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: how time travel movies like at some point you're like, OK, no,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the universe would have just collapsed upon itself at this point.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Like it gets a couple of layers in of craziness
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and like you're like, I don't know. This is all
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: this is all just going to implode the universe. This
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: one takes that a couple extra notches. Like, there's a
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: few things that happen that I have never seen happen
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: in any other science fiction movie. And I've seen a
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: lot of weird time travel movies, but this one takes
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: it to a new level. And I'm impressed with how
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: well it seems to have all the threads poked into
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: the board there so that it actually does sort of
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: work in the end when you want to be a
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: super geek and you go back and go, but wait,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: in this... No?
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: No?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, it all kind of... Again, it's very well structured,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming, in the original short story and in this
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: version of it. It was the two brothers that did
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: the Daybreakers that put it together. It looks great. It's
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: really well done. It's got Ethan Hawke in it. It's
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: got Sarah Snook, who I wasn't all that familiar with,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: but is really good in it. Again, it's not going
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: to be for everyone, so I don't know. It's a
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: slow build to it. It's a lot of, like, Sort
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: of telling the story, which some people may not get into.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: And it's got another little aspect in the middle that
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: may be a turn off for people. I don't care.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's really well put together. So, Predestination. That's
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: my other time travel pick for the week.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Definitely worth seeing.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Watch zero movies about time travel.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: You're doing it wrong.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: The only thing I ever watch, like I said, Broad City.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: And sometimes I watch Han. Also, we convinced my niece,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: who just turned five, that she's, like, really obsessed with
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: the show Haunting. It's gotten so bad.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I like that she's fallen right in with the creepy
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: ways of you and everyone you know, basically.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. Why would we want anything to do
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: with her if she didn't?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: But we convinced her that Broad City was just a
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: new episode of a haunting. Okay.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Now you're messing with this poor child.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Which is like, I don't really know that she should
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: have watched Broad City anyway. And maybe she didn't really.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: She kind of like wandered off. But she was like,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I want to watch a haunting. And we're like, this
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: is a haunting. She's like, it doesn't look like a haunting.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: We're like, it's a new episode.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: And she's like, okay. And she's like way smarter than that.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know why she fell for it. I guess
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: she was tired.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: She was just tired of putting up with you people.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, if nothing else, we do want to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: say thank you to Days of the Dead and the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: people at Culture Shock. Once again, they have put together
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: a really good festival. We were discussing earlier how well
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: they sort of had a handle on things and seemed
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: like they knew what was going on. And I kept
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: answering my questions when I was like, what room is
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: John in? And what time does that start? So they
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: put up with my questions and people actually knew the answer.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: So these were these are good things. So once again,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: they've run a nice operation here. So for more on
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the What they have coming up, which actually there is
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: a regular Days of the Dead coming up later this
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: year in this city we're in right now, plus about
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: three other cities at least. So go to daysofthedead.net and
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: find out what cities they will be in and just
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: who will be at that event. It might be somebody
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: awesome like John Waters, if you're lucky, like we were
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and got to hang out with him today.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I wish I had a place to put all these cards,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: like other than inside a box. Like I should put
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: them in a frame or something.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: This is a classy joint you live in.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: With your tops and salt of cards from the 1990s.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's really weird because, like, I made my living
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: room look all, like, fancy and stuff recently. And then
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I was like, God, what am I going to do
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: with all these, like, Bob's Burgers and Garbage Pail Kid comics?
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: I hate crap comics that are, like, on the... on
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the coffee table like where am I going to put these.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Will fit in perfectly with your sign John Waters head
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: poster that you just got classy.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Join hey my house is classy it actually like it's
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: weird because for as colorful as I am my house
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: is very neutral like like a gay anthropologist could live.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: There well we're now taking applications if you fit the
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: bill I would like to move into Marlena's home.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Actually, I already have a wayward boy living in my house,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: but there was, like, another friend who also needed a job,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: which I live very close to work, so it's, like,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: convenient for coworkers to, like, stay at my house. So, like,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: you know, like, my roommate is my friend, and he
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: works with me and also obviously lives with me, hence
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: the roommate status. But another friend needs a job, and
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: he lives in, like, this weird squat house with some, like, prostitute.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, hey, I've got a fold-out couch. And
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: another friend was like, what are you, like a home
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: for wayward boys?
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: Kind of, I was just thinking.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Marlena's home for wayward boys. Kind of. Well, I mean,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: as soon as you start pimping them out, you got
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: this all going.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I know, right?
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Madame Marlena's got a nice ring to you.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: No one would want to pay money for these boys.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a matter of opinion, I suppose.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: If they did, they wouldn't be wayward.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out what this prostitute he
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: lives with. It's the going rate on this show.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but he described his house like it's
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: like the house in Fight Club.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Speaking of classy joints.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: That's the way to go.
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: They're also going to start some sort of weird anarchy movement.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: She's not, I don't think she's an actual prostitute.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, never mind then.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I hate when you have like a popcorn kernel stuck
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: in your throat, but it only happens like. 20 minutes
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: after you stop eating popcorn.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: The magic of popcorn.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: It's like, where did it even come from?
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Mysteries of the universe. God.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're going to have to go inside
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: so I can get something to drink.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: That's the plan. Marley is dying. I think we're going
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: to go back inside, so maybe we'll check in with
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you later.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: Hello, I'm John Waters, and I'm supposed to announce there
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: is no smoking in this theater, which I think is
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: in my life. How can anyone sit through a length
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: of a film, and especially a European film, and not
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: have a cigarette? But don't you wish you had one
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: right now?
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Mm, mm, mm, mm.
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: And I'm telling you, that smoke anyway. It gives ushers jobs.
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: And if people didn't smoke, there would be no employment
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: for the youth of today. So once again, no smoking
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: in this theater.
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: Want some music for your ears? Doo-Wop Shop makes it
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: easy to rent for any event, business meeting, or special occasion.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: From PA systems to karaoke machines to just about anything
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: that makes noise, you can rent it from the Doo-Wop Shop.
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: In Louisville, find them either at their Highland store at
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: 1587 Bardstown Road or in the East End at 2915
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: South Hurstburn Parkway. And look for them online at DooWopShop.com.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: Doo-Wop Shop.
• 51:19

  Speaker 5: Hi, my name's Jennifer Lawrence.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: And you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: What's part of your problem?
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: You know, you haven't seen enough movies.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: All of life's riddles are answered.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: In the movies. And now, on with the show. On
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: with the show.
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: Jim Danny to the rescue Jim Danny to the rescue
• 52:02
  Speaker 10: Jim Danny to the rescue Go Jim Danny Go Jim
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: Danny Jim Danny on a mountain top 30,000 feet.
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: Strong Spider lady on a runaway horse Aha, that's right
• 52:18
  Speaker 9: of course Jim Danny to the rescue Go Jim.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Danny Alright, and we're back.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Yep, we're back. There's a blizzard happening. We left the
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: convention and a blizzard had happened in like the hour
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: and a half since we've been outside. The roads are bad.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: We're driving. Might be the last transmission from us ever
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: because we're probably going to die.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: How very Blair Witch of you.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've just been really inspired by Adult
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Wednesday Addams lately.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: When is your web series going to start?
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: That's just not going to happen. I think we all
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: know that. I'm not really good at doing things artistically
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: that I say that I'm going to do. Slacker. No,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just really busy. I really don't think we should
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: try to record and drive. Like, this is just, I mean,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: it's bad. It's going to require full concentration.
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: On your part.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: You just tell them about John Waters.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: John Waters was really funny as usual. He talked about
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: all the movies that he's done for the most part briefly.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: He had like little stories and things like that. I
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: think my favorite thing that he said tonight though was
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: I went to court over the right to show Bush
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: and now no one even has it anymore. Which is true.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: And you can blame Sex and the City for that.
• 53:49
  Speaker 6: I blame him for most things.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: No, it's true. After there was like an episode where
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: one of them talked about a Brazilian wax or something
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: like that. And then it just kind of became like
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: the standard. I once had to study pubic hair in
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: a class that I took. We watched a bunch of videos.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: They're mostly like stand-up comedy videos.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: So that's where we're going. They're teaching people stand-up comedy
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: as like education. We're learning from Larry the Cable Guy now.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: No, my professor actually had really good taste. Basically, it
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: was the best class ever created. We would talk about, like,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: butt plugs and watch Adam Ant videos all day. And
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: it was very educational. I learned a lot. I got, like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: an A + + in that class, actually. I got
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the best grade in the class.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Which Adam Ant videos were you watching? I just don't
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: remember that. Was he on 120 Minutes? I don't know.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: He might not have been progressive enough.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: We watched Goody Two-Shoes. We also watched clips of, like,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. And also he played like a
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: bunch of clips of things that kind of copied off
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: of that, like the Spice Girls video and like something else. Oh,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: I think it was like a Killers video or something
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: like that. And he's like, what do these have in common?
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: And I was like, they kind of ripped off Russ Meyer.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: And he was like so impressed with me for like
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: knowing that, that I think if he wasn't married, he
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: would have proposed to me like on the spot, which
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: is fine because I love that man.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I've also recently discovered there's a weird Asian movie that
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: is totally, like, they're just doing it again. Like, they've
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: done their own total ripoff version with, like, three girls
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: driving around Japan in a sports car or whatever. I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: not even sure what country it's from, actually. But it's
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: just a complete and utter Faster Pussycat ripoff. I'm definitely
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: going to watch it. That's all I'm saying.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: I've had two great moments in my life. The first
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: moment is when I ran into Jared Leto. outside of
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: a Whole Foods, and he looked at me and hung
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: his head in shame because in that moment I was
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: cooler than he was and he knew it. The second
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: greatest moment of my life is when Tara Satanis said
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: that my personal rendition of her in Faster Pussycat Kill
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Kill was, how did she, what did she say? Did
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: she say awesome? She said awesome.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Two greatest moments of my life. Not greatest moments
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: of my life, but two highest achievements of my life.
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: Leto has an Oscar now. I know.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: That's what makes it even better, because now he's, like, re-famous.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: He never really stopped being famous, but he was in
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: kind of a lull. I mean, he was in town
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: because he was playing at, like, Expo 5 or something
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: like that with his shitty band. But, yeah, he knew
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: that I was cooler than he was. Like, he no
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: shit hung his head in shame. And sighed. And just, like, went.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: And.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: Why was this?
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: He was waiting for his, like, chauffeur to pick him up.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: And this, like, fat guy in, like, an ICP t-shirt
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: got out of a 1998 Dodge Intrepid. And opened the
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: back door for him and said, Your car, Mr. Alito.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: And he just, like, turned around and looked at me.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: And was, like, really embarrassed. And hung his head and sighed.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: And was like... And then he just got into the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Intrepid and rode off into the sunset. I'll never forget
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: that for as long as I live. Also, like, I
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: didn't try to talk to him at all. I recognized him.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: He knew that I recognized him. But I wasn't like, oh,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: my God, Jared Leto. Because everyone in Whole Foods, not
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: everyone in Whole Foods, like half the people in there
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: didn't know who he was. But, like, a few ladies did.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: And they're like, Jordan Catalano. And they, like, peed their pants.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: But I did not. I did not do that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is what I would have exclaimed, actually. Like,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: it's Jordan Catalano. Dude, are you buying those alfalfa sprouts?
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just, I wonder if he remembers that.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I wonder if he thinks about that a lot. I always, like,
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: all these, like, insignificant things that have happened in my life.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're not insignificant to me, obviously. But, like,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: I know they'd be, like, insignificant to celebrities. Like, the
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: last time we saw John Waters and I had, like,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: really terrible pneumonia. I'm just like, what if he hates
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Louisville now because of me and my, like, coughing fit.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: My embarrassing coughing fit. I just worry about those things.
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought it's really funny that John Waters mentioned
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Night of the Lepus. Because it's like, that's such a random,
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: obscure movie. But, of course, we covered it.
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: And then....
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I told you guys that my grandpa actually
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: built the set for it. My grandpa and also my cousins,
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: like my aunt's ex-husband and her baby daddy.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: So, yeah.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Really weird.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Which is also odd because he mentioned airport, which I
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: was watching last night. We were playing that at the
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: video store. Of all things, airport. I thought that was
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: an odd reference, too.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: It's like John Waters is in our brain. I know
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: he's in mine a lot. Sometimes, okay, I don't know,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: does everybody do this? Like, sometimes my conscience has, like,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: John Waters' voice.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: That might just be you.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: It's not always. It's just, like, in situations where it's, like, applicable,
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: Like.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: The other day when I was at the store, one
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: of the people asked me how I was doing. She's like,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: do you need any help? And I'm like, no thanks.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: And I didn't say it to her because I would
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: have been too embarrassed. But as she walked away, I'm like,
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: I'm just bi-curious. Like B-U-I, not like B-I. And I
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: thought that was so hilarious because in my mind, I
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: said it in a John Waters voice. In my mind,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: it was John Waters living through me. Which I don't
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: think he would say anything like that dumb and like
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: punny in the first place. But like his humor is
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: on another level. But in my mind that was like,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, just something like a thin pencil mustache creep
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: person would say. And I was like really proud of
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: myself because it was totally hilarious. Also, it was probably
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: the way I drew out like, bye, curious. We've, I mean... Actually, like,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: my friends and I have just been on a roll
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: with that lately. Like, not even, like, my friend Kristen
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't even under, I don't think she knows who John
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Waters is at all, which is weird that I'm friends
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: with her. But, like, we were having dinner, and I
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: told her I spent a lot of money on tights
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: this month. She's like, it's because you're on a tight budget. She, like, witch-gackled,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: did this, like, dance and clicked her heels, and it was, like,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: so weird. But it was amazing.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Wait, you're friends with Broomhilda now?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some would argue that she is Brunhilde. I don't know. Wow,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: the snow is really bad. I feel like I'm traveling
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: through space.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I just have to say, and we were having
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: this discussion as we were sitting there, because there was
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: some other guy doing, I guess we'll call it stand-up.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: No offense to him. But it's just funny how well
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: people develop their sense of delivery and style, because that
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: guy was still He's pretty rough. But, like, to follow
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: that up with John Waters, who's just been, like, this character,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: this persona for so long that he just, like... Because
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: it's not, like... He wasn't doing jokes so much. He
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: was just telling stories. But he did have a very
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: specific structure to the point he even got off track
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: at one point, but then, like, dropped right back into it.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: So it's, like, he had a basic setup of what
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: he was doing, but, like, it was never forced. He's
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: just so... natural in the way that he delivers his
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: stories and all his like his fun little like cause
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: he's got some pretty good again not really jokes but
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: like he's come up with some very witty parts that
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: he's added into these stories and like the way that
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: he does this stuff I don't know we've seen him
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: twice now and he's like he's just so impressive at
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: the way that he lays out his performance.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah the guy before him it just made me realize
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: like You can't force comedy. You can't force it. You
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: can't just write a funny joke and then be funny.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: That's not how it works. I don't know. But John
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: Waters is just a good storyteller more than anything. He
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: just has funny stories. Also, that sound in the background
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: is not me farting. It's the windshield wipers. I just
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: realized that really does sound like farts. John Waters is
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: just a good storyteller. His delivery is perfect. It's almost
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: like he's really good at making it sound like he's
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: talking specifically to you. It's not just like, one thing
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: I hate is when, and I mean, again, John Waters
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: is what he does is not stand up, but like
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: when stand up, people are like, Hey, do I have
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: anybody in the crowd that loves peanut butter?
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: And it's just like, fuck off, dude. I really, that's
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: where you're going with this. Like kill yourself. I don't know.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: I don't feel that harshly about it, but you know
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: what I mean?
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Well, and he, Like, even that guy had some really
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: rough transitions. And, like, to me, that's a big sign of, like,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: somebody still kind of finding their legs as a comedian. Like,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: just being able to just flow from one story to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the other and have it seem like you are just
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: having a conversation with the person. And that guy was
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: just like, yeah, so anyway, I'm dating this girl. And, like,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: it's still really, like, segments jammed together where you don't
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: get that with somebody who knows how to tell a story.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: also like I don't know if you do it right
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: like I don't even think transitions are that important because
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: like the way my brain works it's just non-sequitur thoughts
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: you know like talking about one thing now I'm talking
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: about something else because like in my mind it connected
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: to it but it's not always like verbalized it's not
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: always like I don't always say like oh let me
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: tell you this story about my cat which reminds me
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: of my friend Brittany who this one time Went to
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: the mall. I don't have a friend named Brittany, but
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, I'm connecting the dots
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: in my head and I'm not telling people that they're connected.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: But then, like, that's part of what's funny when I
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: tell stories, you know? Because it's just, like, I jump
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: from one... I mean, I don't... I think... I like
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: to think that it's funny and endearing. Most people probably
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: find it annoying. No one's ever told me to my face.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they don't because I don't care. I'm not going
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: to change.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: I just feel like the first guy was imitating other
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: people's thing and he was just not very good at it.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: He was just following what he thinks that funny comedians do.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: It was bad. It's bad news bears.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: It's definitely a blueprint of here's what a comedy set
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: is like and he didn't really know how to do it.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: But John did and John's awesome so... If you ever
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: get the chance to go see him live and do
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: one of his spoken word performances or comedy or whatever
• 1:05:21
