WEBVTT
00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:02.250

00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:05.610
-up. You are tuned into Outside the Frame, 94
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:41.000
.9 Radio Western. 94 .9 Radio Western, you're
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.600
tuned in to Outside the Frame, London's only
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.060
movie talk show. My name's Elijah. I'm Maddy.
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.840
I'm Mike. I'm Dalton. And we are here to talk
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.399
to you about film and the culture that surrounds
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.039
them. If you'd like to take part in the conversation,
00:00:51.259 --> 00:00:55.140
you can text us. 519 -661 -3600. That is 519
00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:59.619
-661 -3600. Before we get into our show today,
00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:02.380
only one real thing that we need to do for housekeeping
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:05.400
today, and that is in about just under two hours,
00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.930
we will be starting... Another edition of Movie
00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:11.750
Trivia Night at the Holy Diver. Sweet. Starts
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:13.930
at 8 p .m. We were talking about some of the
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.590
prizes and... Kind of went overboard this week.
00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:19.709
Yeah, would you say a buttload would be a good...
00:01:19.709 --> 00:01:22.489
Yeah, there's a lot. We might have to do some
00:01:22.489 --> 00:01:24.849
extra like... Like I was saying, we might have
00:01:24.849 --> 00:01:27.969
to do some extra random bonus prizes and stuff
00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:30.750
because I feel like I brought too much. That's
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.329
okay. Because also Radio Western brings prizes
00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:35.670
and we have prizes. It's not just the Highland.
00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.689
Also Diver brings out prizes too. So there's
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:41.620
a lot of good stuff. It's a lot of hands in the
00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.700
kitchen, but for the best possible reason. Fun
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.120
categories this month, I have to say. Yeah, it's
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.319
going to be a fun one. It's good stuff. Yeah,
00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.200
I'm really looking forward to seeing how people
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.560
will react to some of these. Yeah, it should
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.400
be good. Yeah, so your brain's working. Exactly,
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:56.439
yeah. Come on out. The weather's not awful from
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.500
last time I checked. It should be okay now. It
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:02.500
should be okay now. No tornadoes, no air quality
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.819
is, I think, okay. No thunderstorms, I don't
00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:08.590
think. It was raining earlier, but I think we're
00:02:08.590 --> 00:02:10.990
okay. I think we're okay. Okay. Rain's fine.
00:02:11.449 --> 00:02:14.729
Rain's fine. Yeah. We've gone through hell and
00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:16.909
back with some of our weather, so I think you
00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:18.289
guys can make it out today. It's going to be
00:02:18.289 --> 00:02:20.409
a really fun time. We need Tornado Tim on it.
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:23.650
Where is he? I know. No, trust me. We would have
00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:27.330
heard from him by now. That's about it for housekeeping.
00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:30.469
So that's why we get into today's episode, which
00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:34.110
was a rewatchable episode. And this is a movie
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.389
that is a favorite amongst a lot of us here.
00:02:37.509 --> 00:02:39.710
But we're doing it for a very particular reason.
00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:44.889
Because today, one of our co -hosts has a birthday.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.120
That is correct. That is correct. How old are
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.740
you turning today, Elijah? I am turning the big
00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:55.680
3 -1 today. 3 -1. You're officially head on into
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.080
your dirty 30s. Head on. Yeah, dude. I'm knee
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.180
deep in it now. No turning back. In the weeds.
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.120
In the weeds. Exactly. So there's a reason why
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.080
we call it the dirty 30s, dude. You'll figure
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.020
it out. And what an appropriate movie to start.
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:15.319
Oh, yeah. Started my day with it today. Oh, yeah,
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.419
you weren't there when I, yeah, the first thing
00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:19.979
I did when I just sat up in my bed, got downstairs,
00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:23.580
and I just threw on Titin. Dude, I love a 7 a
00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:25.500
.m. movie. I'll throw this kind of stuff on,
00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:27.659
too. Oh, yeah, absolutely. It was a great way
00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.479
to start my day. And I did just kind of give
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.659
away the movie that we're going to be talking
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:35.479
about today, but it is the 2021 film Titin. This
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.400
movie, we decided to do this movie, A, because
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.340
I love this. I think this movie is awesome. Just
00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:45.979
so good. Five years ago today, or five years
00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:50.400
ago, about a week ago, it premiered, or actually
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.159
I believe it won the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.379
Film Festival in July. That's when they had it
00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:58.800
in July. It was about mid -July back in 2021.
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.860
COVID year, that's what it is. And so amongst
00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:06.139
the list, it really came out as the shocker.
00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:08.669
Especially to win that type of prize awarded
00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:12.590
accidentally by Spike Lee that year. This was
00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:17.329
like one of the first movies that I really got
00:04:17.329 --> 00:04:19.670
behind when I first started working at the Highlands.
00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:22.269
So there's a couple that that fall and into the
00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:27.610
early 2022 season. But Tiff happened. in September
00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:31.850
and they I wasn't there but supposedly what was
00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.910
told to me is like the premiere they had like
00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:37.709
trucks with like all the girls dancing on the
00:04:37.709 --> 00:04:40.569
trucks like in the opening scene wow or like
00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:43.029
not quite the opening scene but the right after
00:04:43.029 --> 00:04:46.430
the credits and that was like outside of the
00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:49.550
where they were being premiered and yeah everyone
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:51.949
was there it was like this big to do and it was
00:04:51.949 --> 00:04:56.620
like the talk of TIFF yes this movie And obviously
00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:01.620
being a fan of Raw, so Julia's first film, I
00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:04.319
love that movie. That movie rips very hard. I
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.279
don't know if you guys have seen that movie,
00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:09.720
but it's very good. So, well, you can say yes
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.959
or no. Of course. You all looked at me as if
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.459
I was talking French, you know? Like, Raw is
00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.279
awesome. So being a fan of that and then hearing
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.860
everything around this movie, there was just
00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:24.060
so much hype, so much talk. You read the premise.
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.680
But then you, like, I don't know if you want
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.560
to read the IMDb. It's very funny, the little
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.259
write -up. Yeah, because they were kind of, like,
00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:33.339
hiding it a little bit when it first came out.
00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:35.279
For good reason, I'd say. While he's looking
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.220
that up, I'd also like to mention that it's fitting
00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:38.819
that we're doing this on your birthday because
00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:42.680
I saw this opening night was my birthday. Yeah.
00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:44.819
No way. Opening night at the Highland. Maddy
00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:48.439
and I went. I knew literally nothing about this
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.079
movie except that it won the Palme d 'Or. And
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.230
then I messaged Maddy, who... didn't want to
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:57.930
go at first yes and then uh you looked at was
00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:00.470
it the parents guide or i think i looked up like
00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:02.870
what are the things that are the like what makes
00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:05.550
this movie so wild yeah and then she messages
00:06:05.550 --> 00:06:08.990
me back like now she goes I just saw what's in
00:06:08.990 --> 00:06:12.230
this movie. I have to see it. What is going on?
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:13.750
And then I'm like, I still don't know what it
00:06:13.750 --> 00:06:16.329
is. I was like, okay, sure. And then we went
00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:19.889
and I was like. Read the, I would love to. So
00:06:19.889 --> 00:06:22.029
if you're, if you have not seen this movie, this
00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:26.370
is your, your introduction to this film. 2021
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:30.389
film by Julia Ducarno. Following a series of
00:06:30.389 --> 00:06:33.350
unexplained crimes, a father is reunited with
00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:37.029
the son who has been missing for 10 years. And
00:06:37.029 --> 00:06:40.110
isn't that just what happens? That is technically
00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:43.490
what happens in this. From one character's perspective,
00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:48.149
kind of. Now, the other interesting thing is
00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:51.430
then if you watch the trailer and then go back
00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:53.170
and think about that description, you're like.
00:06:53.610 --> 00:06:55.990
Those what is happening? How are these the same?
00:06:55.990 --> 00:06:59.930
Where are these matching up? So this leads me.
00:06:59.970 --> 00:07:01.569
So I was thinking about this on the drive in
00:07:01.569 --> 00:07:05.290
and I wanted to ask Maddy this because famously.
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.160
You have said on the show, and when we go out
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.680
or talk about movies outside of the show, that
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.660
you don't re -watch movies. Now, this episode
00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:17.759
is specifically called The Rewatchables. Of course,
00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:20.000
we stole it from The Rewatchables Show, which
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.920
is a wildly popular podcast. No, we changed the
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.600
categories and stuff a little bit, and we'll
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.420
get to that in a second. But had you re -watched
00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:36.420
this movie since you saw it? And depending on
00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:38.220
how you answer that question, then what was it
00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:40.939
like rewatching it this time? So I did watch
00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.759
it on Dalton's birthday for the first time. Yeah.
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.319
And then I bought the Blu -ray. So sick. Didn't
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.579
watch it for years. And then I think it was last
00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:50.620
year I rewatched it again. So this is the third
00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.360
time because I also did it last night. But that's
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.379
huge for you because you don't rewatch movies.
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.259
This is like maybe this was like hovering around
00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.699
my top four on Letterboxd for a while. Like this
00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:02.720
is one of those ones where I'm like, I almost
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.519
was scared to watch it a second time because
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.500
I didn't know if it would live up to that first
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:08.779
time watch. And I still think there is something
00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:11.410
about. what this movie unfolds into that you
00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:14.209
experience the first time the most. 100%. But
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:15.810
I rewatched it last night, and you guys know
00:08:15.810 --> 00:08:17.730
the little notebook I have. I filled out a whole
00:08:17.730 --> 00:08:20.709
page of notes on this one. So, like, this is
00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:22.769
a movie that I feel like I can really sink my
00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:26.050
teeth into, and it's one that I was okay rewatching.
00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:28.800
Like even from only being like a year out. A
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.480
year out, yeah. You have the poster as well.
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.440
I do have the poster, yeah. This one? No, I have
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.679
a different one. Is it the darker one with her
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.580
on the - No, it's not. I'll see. I think it was
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.200
made by like a fan, but I'll try to find it,
00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:43.980
but you guys can - Yeah. I do remember that this
00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.419
film came up before, not really on any episode,
00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:49.539
just in passing of Outside the Frame. However,
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.539
when Mike and I, the first time we shared a mic
00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:57.750
- Pun intended. Together. It was during the 2022
00:08:57.750 --> 00:09:03.090
Oscar roundtable. So it was for the 2021 films.
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.029
Yeah, films. And there was a time when we had
00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:07.889
stopped talking about the Oscars for a second.
00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:09.970
I think it was right before we got into Best
00:09:09.970 --> 00:09:11.909
Picture. You said, all right, before we get into
00:09:11.909 --> 00:09:13.049
this, everybody, I just want to know, what are
00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:14.570
your favorite movies of the year? And when it
00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:16.690
got to you immediately, you said, T -10. Yeah.
00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:19.549
T -10. That was all over that. It was my favorite
00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:21.649
of that year, too. Yeah. It was unbelievable.
00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:25.419
So let's. I just wanted to go through maybe our
00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:28.879
six categories, and then we can kind of, I don't
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.779
know if that's enough setup for this movie. I
00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:32.659
mean, we're going to spoil this movie probably
00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:34.740
throughout the episode. I think it's really funny
00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:37.559
that if people don't know what this movie is,
00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.659
and then we talk about it, they're going to be
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.360
like, what on earth are these people talking
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.059
about? Can I do a quick update? Go for it. I
00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.639
found the poster because my mom sent it to me.
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.460
She had a picture of it. Oh, that's a great poster.
00:09:49.309 --> 00:09:52.870
That has to be a fan. I think it is, yeah. That's
00:09:52.870 --> 00:09:55.909
unbelievable. But it's pretty sick. Okay, so
00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:59.269
we start off with, we kind of go through and
00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:01.990
pick our most rewatchable scene. This is essentially
00:10:01.990 --> 00:10:05.120
an excuse to go through the movie. sort of and
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.899
and talk about our fate like we don't have to
00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:10.000
pick one scene necessarily we'll talk about multiple
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.340
scenes and how the film unfolds and stuff but
00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:15.379
if we can land on each of our favorite rewatchable
00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:18.179
scenes that's that's kind of the goal there with
00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:21.799
that category um favorite uh or not favorite
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.519
sorry uh best double feature so what what film
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.720
would you want to uh double feature with this
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:32.700
film uh what prop or piece of memorabilia would
00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:36.000
you want from this movie, if you could buy one
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.879
or have one. One that I added in just because
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.700
I thought it'd be fun because of the way this
00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:44.820
movie ends is we're each going to... spend a
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.620
small moment and do like an elevator pitch or
00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:50.980
a small pitch for a sequel of some kind, uh,
00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:54.639
two to 10. So a little story, like you can throw
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.220
in whatever you want if you have other stuff,
00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:58.120
but like basically we're going to try and franchise
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.840
it. What happens? What happens the next day?
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.659
What happens if there was to tan too? Uh, so
00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:07.820
we'll have some fun with that. Uh, hottest take,
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.580
uh, the Sam thinks, uh, Martin Scorsese's best
00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:15.200
film is Hugo. Uh, hottest. So this is if you
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.440
have a quote -unquote hot take about the movie
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.019
or something that surrounds the film, this is
00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:23.440
where you would say it. And then just one Oscar,
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.120
who gets it, which I think is an actually important
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.600
category because this movie was snubbed in a
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.220
year in which it's insane that it was. But I
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.919
don't want to step on a couple of my hot takes.
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.019
We can wait for that. And best one Oscar. But
00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:41.940
that's why I chose that category because it wasn't
00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:45.190
nominated for it. anything. So, so those are
00:11:45.190 --> 00:11:47.490
what we're going to try and get through on this,
00:11:47.490 --> 00:11:50.669
on this episode. Yes. Oh, before we, speaking
00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.490
of, I did speak with a former outside the frame
00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:58.049
alum, alum, alum, alum, alum, Sam, Samantha,
00:11:58.090 --> 00:12:00.830
earlier today. Who has my Blu -ray. That's exactly
00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:03.070
what she said. When I mentioned that we were
00:12:03.070 --> 00:12:05.190
talking about, she was like. oh my God, I still
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:06.870
have his Blu -ray. I promise I'd give it back.
00:12:06.889 --> 00:12:09.669
Yeah. Like two years ago, three years ago or
00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:11.629
something. Two years, I think. Good gift. Good
00:12:11.629 --> 00:12:14.309
gift. Yeah, that's fine. She can have it. It's
00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:16.710
okay. Maybe one day you'll get it back. Maybe.
00:12:16.850 --> 00:12:19.990
But shout out to Sam. So what did she say about
00:12:19.990 --> 00:12:22.470
this movie? She said, if I remember correctly.
00:12:22.570 --> 00:12:25.190
I know she rated it on Letterboxd. I believe
00:12:25.190 --> 00:12:29.330
she gave this three stars on Letterboxd. But
00:12:29.330 --> 00:12:32.070
she said that, I believe her exact words were,
00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:35.179
this movie makes me uncomfortable. Yeah. I mean,
00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:38.820
that's true. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, checks out,
00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.519
but I told her to rewatch it again because I
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.259
think it would be worth a rewatch. Yeah. Especially
00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:45.879
because she said she was going to tune into today's
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.000
episode. She has a pretty funny... It is really
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.460
good. Are you looking it up right now? Yeah,
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.019
I have it. Okay. Well, it's fine because we're
00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:55.679
going to be spoiling the movie. She gave it three
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.360
stars and a heart. Okay. And said, I was stressing
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.279
about what make and model the baby would be for
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:08.500
nothing. That's quintessential, Sam. That's the
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.120
only thing that she could think about. There's
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.080
so much going on in that movie. But it's a valid
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.779
concern. Shall we get started with our first?
00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.299
Sure. Basically how I wrote this out, it depends
00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:23.519
on how you did it, but I just did it chronologically.
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:26.700
So we can just kind of, and then if you have,
00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:34.940
look who it is. It's Sam. Sam just sent me a
00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:39.779
photo with her making a crying type face and
00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:44.840
holding my Blu -ray. Thanks, Sam. Shout out.
00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:47.279
You have to post that on the Instagram. Yeah,
00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:50.480
include that in the episode. Sam, send me a text
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.820
message if you're okay with me just putting you
00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:54.720
on blast on Instagram because I'll do it. So
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.480
I just kind of went through chronologically.
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.159
So we can just kick it off and go around. I'm
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.019
not going to. We can leave until we've kind of
00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:06.440
exhausted all the scenes we want to talk about,
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.960
and then we can sort of say our favorite scenes.
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.299
So to me, aside from the very opening, which
00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:18.559
is, yes, it kicks off, it gives you some kind
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.340
of reason for what is about to happen, I guess,
00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.700
which is like a car accident. The main character
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.559
has a car accident as a kid and has some surgeries
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.919
and whatnot. The movie really kicks off right
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.879
after that. Yeah, and doesn't really let up either
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.399
for the first, like the first act, like first
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.740
half hour. Yeah, 25, 30 minutes. We go, so for
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:44.840
me, I kind of, even though technically it's wrong,
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.179
but I kind of group the... When she goes, we
00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:52.440
get what her job is, which is basically to dance
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.320
on cars for this weird sort of French car show.
00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:58.460
She's got to be oddly a celebrity. She's got
00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:02.259
to be a model of some sort. She has fans that
00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:04.059
she signs autographs for. Oh, yeah. She's got
00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:07.620
to be, yeah. It goes, so we get that. Then it's
00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:11.419
done in this very elaborate, almost one -er,
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.399
which is really interesting and cool. She has
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.899
this whole dance sequence on this car. We go
00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:21.110
from that to this guy chasing her. She stabs
00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:23.450
him in the ear, kills him. Yes. Right? With,
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:26.389
like, chopstick hairpin things. Like a sewing
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:29.490
needle. Sewing needle. Knitting needle. I was
00:15:29.490 --> 00:15:33.110
having, like, an out -of -body experience. So
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:37.570
was he. Yeah. I mean, just, like, so far up into
00:15:37.570 --> 00:15:39.809
this. This is 10 minutes into the movie, and
00:15:39.809 --> 00:15:41.330
I'm like, oh, my God. And you don't even know
00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:46.049
the next scene's coming. And then, so she's like,
00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:48.350
okay, I gotta wash myself off. She goes back
00:15:48.350 --> 00:15:50.700
into, like, her sort of... dressing area and
00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:52.679
the reason that she washes herself off is because
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.259
when she murders this guy he's like convulsing
00:15:55.259 --> 00:16:00.870
and like showing yeah yeah yeah and then uh I
00:16:00.870 --> 00:16:04.049
guess the best way to describe this is... On
00:16:04.049 --> 00:16:06.049
radio. This is going to be tough. There's a calling
00:16:06.049 --> 00:16:09.830
of sorts, we'll say. A loud noise from the other
00:16:09.830 --> 00:16:13.450
room. A bang. And she's curious. Of course, she
00:16:13.450 --> 00:16:16.909
was in the shower, so she has... She's yet to
00:16:16.909 --> 00:16:21.309
re -dress. Clothed herself. Yes. And then has
00:16:21.309 --> 00:16:25.929
relations with a car. A Cadillac, to be specific.
00:16:27.049 --> 00:16:32.039
And... A fire print Cadillac. That is like the
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:38.059
first 15, 10, 15 minutes. And we're off. That's
00:16:38.059 --> 00:16:42.899
it. You're locked in now. Locked in. So that's
00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:45.460
how the movie kicks off. But I'll bring that
00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:49.559
sort of sequence up as sort of one. I think that
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.080
counts as one scene. Because it all takes place.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.740
Besides the car crash at the beginning. Technically
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.659
it's not. I would almost say the dance at the
00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:58.940
very beginning scene is its own thing. And then
00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:01.779
maybe the stabbing into the car is the difference.
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.059
Yeah, I agree. But I think it's fair to group
00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:07.829
them. I just grouped that little moment. It's
00:17:07.829 --> 00:17:09.869
like the inciting incident. And it's all in the
00:17:09.869 --> 00:17:12.369
same setting, like technically relatively. So
00:17:12.369 --> 00:17:16.950
Maddy, do you want to follow that up? I guess
00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:19.029
the question is, are we kind of going in order?
00:17:19.329 --> 00:17:21.049
I think you can do whatever you want. Do what
00:17:21.049 --> 00:17:22.769
you want. That's why I said it depends. It's
00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:24.910
my birthday. I say you get to do what you want.
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:27.130
Elijah says I get to do what I want. That's why
00:17:27.130 --> 00:17:29.049
I started off with, it depends on how you wrote
00:17:29.049 --> 00:17:31.609
them down. So you can just, that's just how I
00:17:31.609 --> 00:17:33.769
wrote it down. The way I did it was my favorite
00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:35.799
scene. the one that I picked but I also wanted
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.839
to mention you already brought up one but there's
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.299
a lot of dance sequences in this movie and each
00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:43.420
of them shows so much of the inner thoughts of
00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.420
the character at that point of time and how that
00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:48.279
changes and so one of mine is one of the dance
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.660
sequences but it might not be the one you're
00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.940
all thinking of I call it the pink party scene
00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:54.920
yeah that's how I wrote it down yeah that's how
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.619
I wrote it down too um but it's I guess if I
00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:00.220
don't know how much we're getting into the character
00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:03.180
differences here. Purple dance scene. Yeah, yeah.
00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:07.319
In my notes. But it's, how much of this do I
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.200
explain, I guess? They're having a party as a
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.779
bunch of firefighters because she ends up being
00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:17.579
at a firehouse. Let's just say that. Oh no, no,
00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:18.980
this is a different time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:22.819
it's a scene where, I guess, how much do I explain
00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:25.019
in the movie so far to get where we're at? I
00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:26.980
mean, can you explain it without... Because we'll
00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:30.079
get to there at that point, but it is the scene
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.279
where... She's with her new father. Her new dad,
00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:37.180
yeah. And he's a fire chief. Yes. And she's trying
00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:40.519
to fit in at the firehouse. Yes. I think it's
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.039
awesome that all the firefighters are smoking
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.319
indoors. Oh, yeah. It's France. Yeah, it's France.
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.160
It's France. Yeah, and then they're kind of...
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.220
blowing off some steam yeah that's where we're
00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.700
at yeah so the part that i like about this scene
00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:55.619
so much is this was the turning point in the
00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:58.900
movie for me when i was like oh my god this is
00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:02.460
like sweet there's like a niceness underneath
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.240
this sentimentality yeah there's like a gentleness
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.240
to this scene especially because the dad is like
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.309
trying to protect her in this scene because the
00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:14.369
other firefighters are like what's wrong yeah
00:19:14.369 --> 00:19:16.970
and they just dance together and it's like the
00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:18.970
one moment where they're both truly happy in
00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:21.369
the movie and it's just beautifully shot there's
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:23.150
a lot of slow slow -mo at the beginning when
00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:24.849
they're dancing together and it's just one of
00:19:24.849 --> 00:19:27.069
those scenes where I was like is this the same
00:19:27.069 --> 00:19:28.670
movie that we were just explaining what happens
00:19:28.670 --> 00:19:30.650
in the first act because this was really the
00:19:30.650 --> 00:19:32.809
turning point for me in the movie where I'm like
00:19:32.809 --> 00:19:35.329
this is there's something more going on here
00:19:35.329 --> 00:19:37.970
than you might have just guessed based off a
00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:40.339
log line or just based off the opening of the
00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:43.180
movie. Yeah. It is a great like sentimental and
00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.599
it shows like it shows the evolution of that
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.319
character too because you can kind of see as
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.819
you said each dance sequence kind of shows something
00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:53.160
new about them and this is really a we won't
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.059
get too too into it but this is a very like opening
00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:59.099
of this character you know it's a it reveals
00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:01.619
a little bit more like it's a little bit more
00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:04.359
vulnerable for this character to be than previously
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:06.940
seen in this movie. Yes. Yeah. It's a really
00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:10.880
good one. My scene that I chose, I keep calling
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.440
it this even though I know it's not this. I call
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.019
it the home invasion scene. It is not a home
00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:17.980
invasion. She's willingly let into this house.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.920
But it plays out almost like a home invasion.
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.819
Yeah. Where our character, this is towards, this
00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:26.230
is maybe. Five or ten minutes after the – Like
00:20:26.230 --> 00:20:28.170
five minutes after the – This is in the first
00:20:28.170 --> 00:20:30.250
half hour kind of deal. Yes. It's in the first
00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:33.450
act. And she goes home with someone that she
00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:36.690
works with and that she is, I guess, kind of
00:20:36.690 --> 00:20:39.589
seeing at the time. It's getting there. It's
00:20:39.589 --> 00:20:44.529
just trying to hook up. And the way that she
00:20:44.529 --> 00:20:46.930
takes out the gentleman who was chasing her earlier,
00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:50.470
that's how she takes this person out and then
00:20:50.470 --> 00:20:52.410
realizes there are more people in this house.
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:55.359
And has to take them out. And then realizes there
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.839
are more people in the house. And it is brutal.
00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:02.599
But it's just as funny as it is brutal. That's
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.059
the thing. I think this scene is like I was laughing
00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:07.920
out loud. And the music is so good. So good in
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.460
this. There's a great comedic bit. I want to
00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:13.359
just say I wrote the same scene. But I called
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.559
it. House murder chaos. House murder chaos. Because
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.099
I'm like, I don't know how to describe this scene
00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:22.059
any other way. Yeah. But there's a beat where
00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:24.980
she thinks she's killed. Well, she has killed
00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:27.099
two of them. The one runs upstairs and she turns
00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:29.099
and the other guy is standing there. Waiting
00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:31.539
to use the bathroom. The music cuts out. And
00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:33.819
he's such a sweet guy. He's so nice. She's just
00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:37.700
like, how many are you? He hugs her. She's like,
00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:41.380
I'm just so beat. So tired. Here's a question
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:45.319
for you. Why? Does she kill that person? I wrote
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.460
a note about that because I do think it is like...
00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:49.900
I thought you might. Yeah, yeah. Like a lot of
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:53.039
this movie is about how vulnerable do you get
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.079
with other people and also like how you might
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.480
feel like an other around other people. Like
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.660
you might not feel as human or somebody seeing
00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:03.880
you in a light that makes you feel like you're
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.819
not... You're not fully connecting with other
00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:07.099
people. And I think that's a big part of this
00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:09.440
movie. She's got metal in her head. She feels
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.819
like she is like a different entity in a sense.
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.319
And we can't forget about what just happened
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.119
to her. Yes. Right. Which is like a big, a big
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.059
piece of that puzzle of not feeling abnormal
00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:23.660
and not feeling like, you know, this person wants
00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:26.160
to like connect with me on a sexual level. Yeah.
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.039
But she has like the same reaction, which this
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160
is. I think one of the many brilliant parts about
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.079
this movie, especially talking about which I
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.480
think is one of the big themes of this movie
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.779
is masculinity and femininity. And the same reaction
00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:45.319
that she had to that creepy guy that was following
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.819
her is the same reaction that she has to this
00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:51.329
girl because not that she. maybe has the same
00:22:51.329 --> 00:22:54.069
hatred. It was for a slightly different reason,
00:22:54.190 --> 00:22:57.289
but it was to protect, I think, to protect herself.
00:22:57.630 --> 00:22:59.750
Yeah. Because she didn't, because if she goes
00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:01.130
through with the act, that person's going to
00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:03.329
find out what's wrong with her. Yeah. Can't have
00:23:03.329 --> 00:23:05.470
anyone get too close. Right. I also find it,
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:10.390
like, throughout the film, she seems more interested
00:23:10.390 --> 00:23:13.769
in the inanimate than real people. Yeah, of course.
00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:18.910
And I think any time a person even gets remotely
00:23:18.910 --> 00:23:22.019
close, it becomes this thing where it's almost
00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:24.019
like a reversal where she sees them as objects
00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:27.559
or like things to be discarded and she has to.
00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:30.980
It doesn't matter if, you know, that lovely gentleman
00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:32.960
waiting for the bathroom is the nicest person
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.630
ever. No. He's just another item. that's in her
00:23:36.630 --> 00:23:38.589
way that she needs to get out of there. And there's
00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:40.910
really only one character that breaks through
00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:44.690
that. Yeah, and that scene when you are not sure
00:23:44.690 --> 00:23:46.470
if he's going to break through or not is also
00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:48.289
another poignant scene that we could also be
00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:51.710
talking about for a rewatchable. Oh, my turn.
00:23:53.930 --> 00:23:56.490
You got invested. Yeah, I know. It went through
00:23:56.490 --> 00:24:00.349
all of them, but I still have two more. I'm going
00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:05.460
to say when they're at... When she is at the
00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:08.640
captain's house and they're having dinner and
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.700
he's trying to connect to her in some way. And
00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:18.519
his idea is to basically fight her. But what
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.519
it starts with is another dance scene. And the
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:28.140
song choice is fantastic. She's not there, which
00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:31.740
is a perfect song choice. And it's the energy
00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:37.329
of this scene. She's very good at creating this
00:24:37.329 --> 00:24:40.849
controlled chaos in this movie, and I think this
00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:43.369
scene is a perfect example of that, where you
00:24:43.369 --> 00:24:49.289
get all of the emotions changing, building, but
00:24:49.289 --> 00:24:53.829
it still feels like all the steps for getting
00:24:53.829 --> 00:24:56.250
to know these characters comes through. But it's
00:24:56.250 --> 00:25:01.710
a wildly chaotic melee in the kitchen. I also
00:25:01.710 --> 00:25:04.339
think it's... This is totally unrelated to that.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.059
I always think it's funny when it cuts back and
00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:08.700
there's just the full plates of spaghetti. They're
00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:12.940
always shoveling it in. One question I had, and
00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:16.200
this is something I noticed this time around,
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:22.519
is there's this shot of the dad when he sees
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.980
her for the first time, and Julia kind of just
00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:28.539
hangs on the shot, like almost for too long.
00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.539
when the dad is just kind of staring at the kid,
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.599
which made me think of almost the movie, not
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.559
in a different way, but from like from a story
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.299
standpoint that, OK, there's two different perspectives
00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:49.019
in the sense of there's Alexia. She's trying
00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:54.650
to hide who she is. Right. And blend in. so that
00:25:54.650 --> 00:25:56.769
she doesn't get caught. That's a practical reason
00:25:56.769 --> 00:25:58.690
what she's doing, right? Of course, there's the
00:25:58.690 --> 00:26:01.549
added thing that she's pregnant, so that is a
00:26:01.549 --> 00:26:04.170
whole thing that she's trying to deal with at
00:26:04.170 --> 00:26:07.930
the same time. So that's what she's trying to
00:26:07.930 --> 00:26:12.289
do. From her perspective, she's trying to hide
00:26:12.289 --> 00:26:16.710
all of that stuff, right? I honestly think after
00:26:16.710 --> 00:26:19.910
this rewatch that... The dad was never really
00:26:19.910 --> 00:26:22.910
sold on her. Oh, he knows. Oh, no. Right. And
00:26:22.910 --> 00:26:27.809
it's more about him just like when he saw her
00:26:27.809 --> 00:26:31.880
for the first time. he made that decision in
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.640
that moment that it didn't matter. Absolutely.
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.160
Right? He just needed somebody. So therefore,
00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:41.220
that then spins the whole reveal thing that from
00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:43.720
an audience standpoint, it's not really revealing
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.059
to the audience. Like, oh, he's figured it out.
00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:48.619
Or when the mom figures it out, all of this stuff,
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.519
it's really about, again, from Alexi's standpoint,
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.440
now I'm revealing myself to the character rather
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.319
than a twist or like, oh, the dad didn't know.
00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:00.529
It's like, The dad knew the whole time. He has
00:27:00.529 --> 00:27:02.890
to face it and accept it. Accept it, yes. Because
00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:06.970
he's well aware the moment he sees her, but he's
00:27:06.970 --> 00:27:09.390
created this thing in his brain that at least
00:27:09.390 --> 00:27:13.210
the possibility is there. I don't think he's
00:27:13.210 --> 00:27:15.490
created anything. I think it was a conscious
00:27:15.490 --> 00:27:17.750
decision that it did not matter to him. But do
00:27:17.750 --> 00:27:20.730
you think there's also a sense? Do you think
00:27:20.730 --> 00:27:22.829
there's also a sense maybe that he's also coming
00:27:22.829 --> 00:27:24.990
to terms with like, he knows it's not his kid
00:27:24.990 --> 00:27:27.470
and... now he's kind of thought that like well
00:27:27.470 --> 00:27:29.950
now maybe i have to lose my kid at this point
00:27:29.950 --> 00:27:31.750
like my kid will never come back yeah like oh
00:27:31.750 --> 00:27:34.450
yeah so like he's like that's that's also coming
00:27:34.450 --> 00:27:37.970
killing like the the actual son or the memory
00:27:37.970 --> 00:27:40.390
by doing this correct yeah it's a way to get
00:27:40.390 --> 00:27:43.250
over it's a way to and and then he has what he
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:45.940
That's what's great about – so many things great
00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:48.440
about this movie. But the characters do get kind
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.839
of what they want. Weirdly. Absolutely, yeah.
00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:55.160
But they don't know yet. Until the end because
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.799
what does he receive at the end? A brand new
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.299
son, right? Or daughter. Child. A new child to
00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:04.319
take care of. That's all he really wanted was
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.480
to be able to take care of his kid, right? So
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.059
many great scenes. Anyways, I just want to ask
00:28:09.059 --> 00:28:10.740
and see if you guys were on the same page. Yeah.
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.940
I definitely didn't. really catch how long that
00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:17.900
shot was until this rewatch. Which is another
00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:19.920
great scene. Because it feels like there should
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.740
be another cut back and forth, but it lasts as
00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:25.140
long as two shots. It just kind of stays there.
00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:27.180
Now before we get into any other categories,
00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:29.200
I do want to cut to a quick commercial break,
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.099
and then when we get back, we will continue with
00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:34.940
our rewatchables of this phenomenal movie, T
00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:36.299
-Tang. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.220
Outside the Frame, London's only movie talk show.
00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:45.750
We'll be right back. 94 .9 Radio Western. You're
00:28:45.750 --> 00:28:47.450
still tuned in to Outside the Frame, London's
00:28:47.450 --> 00:28:49.349
only movie talk show. We are in the midst of
00:28:49.349 --> 00:28:53.269
our Rewatchables episode of the 2021 film T10.
00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:55.230
We just finished with our most Rewatchables scene
00:28:55.230 --> 00:28:58.609
category. What do we have up next? We have best
00:28:58.609 --> 00:29:01.349
double feature choice. There's an obvious choice
00:29:01.349 --> 00:29:02.769
here. There is an obvious choice. There is an
00:29:02.769 --> 00:29:04.509
obvious choice, but I think there's actually,
00:29:04.589 --> 00:29:06.690
the more I thought about it, because I think
00:29:06.690 --> 00:29:08.230
what we're all thinking is Crash. Crash, yeah.
00:29:08.609 --> 00:29:10.029
Cronenberg's Crash, yes. Right. Not Maddy's
00:29:10.029 --> 00:29:14.710
favorite. Boo! The more I thought about it, because
00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:16.990
I knew no one here would take that just because
00:29:16.990 --> 00:29:19.450
of how obvious it was. Yeah. The more I thought
00:29:19.450 --> 00:29:22.549
about it, the more other films revealed themselves
00:29:22.549 --> 00:29:26.289
to me. So, yeah, I'm really interested in what
00:29:26.289 --> 00:29:28.170
you guys picked. Maybe let's start with Dalton.
00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:30.450
Let's not start with Dalton. Uh -oh. Uh -oh.
00:29:30.450 --> 00:29:32.130
He's thinking on it. He was going to say Crash.
00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:35.150
Well, here's what happened. Oh, I mean, you could
00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:37.470
say Crash. It's a good choice. I just assumed
00:29:37.470 --> 00:29:39.289
no one would take it because it was too obvious.
00:29:39.930 --> 00:29:42.309
So many where I was like, I was thinking about
00:29:42.309 --> 00:29:44.910
father daughter relationship. Sure. I was thinking
00:29:44.910 --> 00:29:47.589
about, you know, any familiar relation. I was
00:29:47.589 --> 00:29:50.470
thinking all of these things. And I went every
00:29:50.470 --> 00:29:53.430
time I was like, the right answer is crash. Yeah.
00:29:53.470 --> 00:29:57.369
Yeah. And I, I literally wrote in my note that
00:29:57.369 --> 00:30:02.029
it could only be. I mean, I'll, I'll make a good
00:30:02.029 --> 00:30:04.089
case. I think for, for what I chose, the thing
00:30:04.089 --> 00:30:07.210
was I, for this one. I remember there was a few
00:30:07.210 --> 00:30:09.609
that I... I'm not going, and now he's going.
00:30:09.990 --> 00:30:14.190
Well, I said I will. Because I was like, don't
00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:16.009
lead it off, and I'm just like, it's Crash. I
00:30:16.009 --> 00:30:19.430
had a bunch of different ideas, and they never
00:30:19.430 --> 00:30:21.630
felt right. I don't think I could watch that
00:30:21.630 --> 00:30:23.990
movie and that movie back to back. I was like,
00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:28.730
Crash, I think, is the one. And I was more curious
00:30:28.730 --> 00:30:31.089
to see, because I thought the same thing, where
00:30:31.089 --> 00:30:33.250
I was like, I'll take it, because I bet you...
00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:35.319
These guys are not going to take it, and they're
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.259
going to come up, and I'm more curious to hear
00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:40.079
what you guys came up with, because I struggled
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.359
to do this one. Okay. Very interesting. I want
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.019
to hear Mike's, because I want to make sure it's
00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:47.119
not mine, so you can go first. If I was to have,
00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.259
this was almost my choice, so if I was to have
00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:51.539
a runner -up, it'd be cruising, for a bunch of
00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:53.059
different reasons. That's interesting. Number
00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:57.059
one, phenomenal character dance sequence in cruising,
00:30:57.259 --> 00:31:00.869
which is... One of the best scenes in the 1980s
00:31:00.869 --> 00:31:05.069
and is, I mean, Maddy explained it great when
00:31:05.069 --> 00:31:07.890
you highlighted that dance sequence. Well, Cruising
00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:11.990
has one of those too. And also it's about identity,
00:31:12.190 --> 00:31:15.609
hiding yourself. It has a lot of similar themes
00:31:15.609 --> 00:31:18.049
in that way. So that would be like my runner
00:31:18.049 --> 00:31:21.130
up. And then I went back and forth between two
00:31:21.130 --> 00:31:25.240
Gasparino movies for various reasons. The first
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.359
obvious one would be his debut film called I
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.000
Stand Alone, which I was like, okay, you got
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.039
the father -daughter stuff, twisted story, blah,
00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:34.039
blah, blah. But it doesn't have the same vibe
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.220
to me, right? So maybe we pick the same one.
00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:39.900
I can guess, but no, we keep going. So the film
00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:43.880
that I landed on was Climax. Climax, yeah. And
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.980
there's a couple of different reasons for that.
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.559
Did those not come out in the same year? No,
00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:53.700
Climax was... Oh, was that 2019? 2018? I don't
00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:56.880
actually know. Hold on. I got IMDb on me. I thought
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.140
it was early. Great radio here, guys. 2018, you're,
00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:02.240
yeah. 2018. Okay, jeez. I thought it was in the
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.480
20s. So, again, this is more like, I mean, again,
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.519
dance being a super big part of that movie. The
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:14.859
opening of the car dance scene reminded me of,
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.500
I mean, it's much shorter, but the climax wonder
00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:21.000
is like almost the whole movie. So, but it was
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.940
just more like the frantic nature of, of the
00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:26.119
film and the vibe of the film. So oddly similar
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:29.279
tones at parts, like, yeah, like not over the
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.000
hole, but like, yes, it hits the same sort of
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:34.000
beat again. I hate using the word vibe, but it
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.640
has a similar vibe, different themes, different,
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.759
but. you know, both French, both, and it gets
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.160
a little twisted and it's pretty twisted. So
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.740
I think there's a lot like when I see to Tain,
00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:47.680
if I was, if I was programming and I saw to Tain
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:50.880
and, and climax together, I'd be like, Hey, those,
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.299
those, that makes sense. So that's what I ended
00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:56.660
up landing on. Well, I hit on anything that,
00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:58.759
well, it's already been brought up today because
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.680
it was raw. That's what I was going to feature
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.359
with. Obviously. Like, Julia Ducarno did an interview
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.220
that was on the Blu -ray that I watched last
00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:09.819
night and she was saying how her work, it builds
00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:12.279
on itself. So she was saying like, I start from
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.460
somewhere and I have an idea and then it goes
00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:16.480
from there. So she was talking about after making
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:18.200
Roth, she really wanted to make a story about
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.779
love. And that's what happened when she made
00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:23.299
Titane. That was the through line with her. But
00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:24.720
I think watching them back to back, there are
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.220
parts of it that you can see like a lot about
00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:30.180
womanhood and a lot about like deep primal urges
00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:33.420
and like human bodies. like flesh and finding
00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:35.960
yourself yeah that's the there's always like
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.539
a level of emotionality to her work underneath
00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:41.799
what some people might see as more like bombastic
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:43.980
i guess in terms of like body horror things like
00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:46.599
that but there is a level of humanity that resides
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:48.819
underneath it all and it makes you care about
00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:51.599
the characters so one of one of that's very well
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.579
said one of the main reasons i would say top
00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:57.319
two reasons why personally i love this film so
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.960
much is because i think it's one of the best
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.619
examples of someone who's not male having like
00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:10.760
an just an unbelievable objective observation
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.659
of what it is what masculine masculinity is could
00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:22.489
be is in certain family dynamics. It's so poignant.
00:34:22.769 --> 00:34:25.969
And maybe I'm reading it wrong. I don't know.
00:34:26.030 --> 00:34:28.849
But what I take from it is that dad character,
00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:33.670
there's so many things with him that is... She's
00:34:33.670 --> 00:34:39.650
doing stuff in this movie that 90 % of male directors
00:34:39.650 --> 00:34:42.750
would only hope and wish they could do. And sometimes
00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:46.840
it takes an objective... somewhat objective like
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:50.059
observer to like observe those kind of things
00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:52.199
and be able but that's the genius of her and
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.219
this movie is being able to like succinct that
00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:57.800
down into a story and a character and that's
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.159
really hard to do I think that's that's one of
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.599
my my favorite parts of this movie is her portrayal
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:09.179
of the dad because he's like he has to run this
00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:12.500
you know firehouse with they're all like 20 year
00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:15.570
old Buff men, you know, like, in their prime.
00:35:15.889 --> 00:35:21.690
He is beyond broken. He is God to them, by the
00:35:21.690 --> 00:35:25.349
way. Yeah, but he's trapped in this failing body.
00:35:25.849 --> 00:35:29.349
His family has fallen apart. Everything that,
00:35:29.389 --> 00:35:32.630
in his mind, a man is supposed to be, he's failing
00:35:32.630 --> 00:35:35.989
at. So, you know, he's using steroids to keep
00:35:35.989 --> 00:35:37.730
himself going. Which is also, like, there's another
00:35:37.730 --> 00:35:41.619
argument because there's a, I think... It's not
00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:44.300
that far -fetched to read this as a transgender
00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:46.880
allegory, right? Totally could read it that way.
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.440
Steroids are basically just testosterone. He's
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:56.840
taking T -shots. It's probably HGH or something
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.119
and all that stuff, yeah. I think there's so
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.639
many levels on which that character works that
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:07.150
I... that's one of the elements I'm most drawn
00:36:07.150 --> 00:36:09.250
to. Well, it's interesting too, because both
00:36:09.250 --> 00:36:11.510
the characters that are almost like, so the beginning,
00:36:11.590 --> 00:36:14.769
Alexi is like almost what is a traditional female
00:36:14.769 --> 00:36:17.170
or how you would objectify traditional female.
00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:20.250
on the outside, the dad has all the traits of
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:23.969
a, but they also both share opposite traits too.
00:36:24.030 --> 00:36:26.050
Like she has male traits, literally becoming
00:36:26.050 --> 00:36:29.690
a male and has all these male traits. While at
00:36:29.690 --> 00:36:31.469
the same time is pregnant. While at the same
00:36:31.469 --> 00:36:34.650
time is pregnant. And the dad all of a sudden
00:36:34.650 --> 00:36:37.530
has these other traits that would be more quote
00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:40.050
unquote traditionally female. So it's, again,
00:36:40.210 --> 00:36:41.829
it's so brilliant. There's a reason why that
00:36:41.829 --> 00:36:43.710
scene is shot in pink and purple and all that
00:36:43.710 --> 00:36:45.010
stuff. There's so much in the stage direction
00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:46.849
on that. It's unbelievable. But this is why,
00:36:47.190 --> 00:36:49.730
this movie is like to unpack this movie there's
00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:52.230
a lot there's a lot to unpack but Ra's a great
00:36:52.230 --> 00:36:55.269
choice and my backup was Eraserhead but sure
00:36:55.269 --> 00:36:59.309
Eraserhead yeah well weird baby yeah or just
00:36:59.309 --> 00:37:02.010
like the fears of parenthood yeah that makes
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:06.769
sense I chose a movie from Pedro Almodovar called
00:37:06.769 --> 00:37:10.489
The Skin I Live In. It's a good movie. Yeah,
00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:12.670
I really like it. And it kind of deals... Banderas,
00:37:12.670 --> 00:37:15.329
is that? That is correct, yes. And he plays a
00:37:15.329 --> 00:37:18.949
plastic surgeon who has made this synthetic type
00:37:18.949 --> 00:37:23.869
of skin. And his guinea pig is a mysterious woman
00:37:23.869 --> 00:37:26.150
who you find out more about as the movie goes
00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:29.849
on. This movie is not... entirely in the same
00:37:29.849 --> 00:37:35.650
French extremity type genre. But it kind of borders
00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:38.750
on it. There's a lot of similar... It's a mix
00:37:38.750 --> 00:37:42.530
of crazy stuff, but also like... oddly tender
00:37:42.530 --> 00:37:45.309
moments and funny moments exactly and I think
00:37:45.309 --> 00:37:47.730
that like the tone is like not as it's not never
00:37:47.730 --> 00:37:51.809
as outlandish or as bonkers as as T -Tain may
00:37:51.809 --> 00:37:53.989
get but it still deals with similar themes of
00:37:53.989 --> 00:37:56.710
womanhood what it means to be a woman and what
00:37:56.710 --> 00:37:59.690
it means to be a man identity and just like how
00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:02.750
the body is treated and how women's bodies are
00:38:02.750 --> 00:38:05.510
used. So I think it's an interesting pairing.
00:38:05.650 --> 00:38:07.989
I don't think it's eye for eye, but I think it's
00:38:07.989 --> 00:38:10.829
an interesting back -to -back to have. This would
00:38:10.829 --> 00:38:13.789
be a good starting point, and then you lead into
00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:18.110
something like T -Tank. So The Skin I Live In
00:38:18.110 --> 00:38:21.719
is a really interesting movie. really interesting
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.019
pivot for both that director and Antonio Banderas
00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:27.320
as well. Um, so yeah, that would, that was my
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.440
pick. Okay. So we're going to move on. Um, I'm
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.000
good. I'm going to pivot a little bit, um, to
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.159
hopefully give us a little bit of extra time
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.460
before, cause we have to leave right at seven.
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.219
Yeah. Just in case our sequel pitches may take
00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:42.039
a little longer, we're going to go through, uh,
00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:44.599
five, the five and six categories a little quicker.
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.840
Um, so I'll kick it off because mine kind of
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.650
goes one and two like together. Okay. My, hottest
00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:54.010
take is that this i mean it's not that hot to
00:38:54.010 --> 00:38:56.809
take but some people might think it is uh this
00:38:56.809 --> 00:38:59.150
film should have been nominated for best picture
00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:02.750
best writing best director best makeup and best
00:39:02.750 --> 00:39:06.889
hair um so that's five noms uh i guess the hottest
00:39:06.889 --> 00:39:08.769
take is that this should have taken the place
00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:13.759
of uh promising young woman which can only can
00:39:13.759 --> 00:39:17.380
only wish that the movie did what Tatane did.
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:19.380
Can I read out the, the, the, the winner and
00:39:19.380 --> 00:39:22.119
winners and nominees of the, uh, of the best
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.159
picture for 2021. So this would be the 2022.
00:39:25.780 --> 00:39:28.099
Uh, so that would be, uh, I'll go in reverse
00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:29.679
order though. They have it here. West side story.
00:39:30.489 --> 00:39:32.550
The Power of the Dog. This is best picture, right?
00:39:32.570 --> 00:39:34.650
This is best picture. Nightmare Alley, Licorice
00:39:34.650 --> 00:39:38.769
Pizza, King Richard, Dune, Drive My Car, Don't
00:39:38.769 --> 00:39:42.429
Look Up, Belfast, and the winner, Coda. Yeah,
00:39:42.429 --> 00:39:44.730
you can knock some of those out. A couple of
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:48.670
those can go. Definitely to put in this movie.
00:39:48.829 --> 00:39:50.309
At least, I'm not saying it should have won.
00:39:50.969 --> 00:39:53.409
I'm just saying. It wasn't even put forward by
00:39:53.409 --> 00:39:57.510
France. It's insane. Oh no, it was France's submission.
00:39:57.650 --> 00:40:00.750
No, it wasn't. Yeah, it was a different one,
00:40:00.829 --> 00:40:02.590
which was, I remember the controversy because
00:40:02.590 --> 00:40:04.309
it won the Palme d 'Or and then they didn't.
00:40:04.309 --> 00:40:07.980
Because she spoke out at the... At the French,
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:11.280
what is it, the César? I think it's what they're
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:15.079
called. Yeah, because Rowan Polanski won an award,
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.820
and she went out and said a whole lot of stuff.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:22.460
Oh, she's opinionated about that? Shocker. I
00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:24.679
think she also said some stuff about Macron and
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.380
stuff, and they just decided they're not pushing
00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:30.199
her movie. Which is terrible because it definitely
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:34.239
deserves a bunch of nominations. So then I'm
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.420
just going to roll that. quote -unquote hottest
00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:38.199
take. Like I said, the hotter take, I guess,
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:39.679
is that I think it should have taken the place
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:41.719
of Promising Young Woman and all the other categories
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.880
that it was nominated in. And then it should
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.280
have won my one Oscar would be Best Writing.
00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:50.159
I think it's the most realistic in terms of what...
00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:53.079
you know, pre -substance sort of, you know, like
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.059
during this, this era, I guess it's like, this
00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:58.820
is the cool movie. They wanted it to be promising
00:40:58.820 --> 00:41:01.079
young woman. That movie's forgettable, not cool.
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.099
This movie is cool and should have won best writing
00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:08.739
like hands down. So. That's a good take. So that's
00:41:08.739 --> 00:41:13.739
my last two categories put together. Are we doing
00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:15.599
the prop category also? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:18.059
We'll do that. Okay. So what one do you want
00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:20.019
me to do now? We started with takes. Yeah, let's
00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:21.980
start with takes. Okay, hottest take. Is the
00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:26.599
baby not weird enough? Hot take? I like it. It's
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:28.739
a good take. Hot take? I'm okay with it. Yeah,
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.199
I like the baby. I'm not going to lie. The first
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:35.960
time I saw it in that camp. I was expecting more
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:43.099
car than baby. That's fair. So I'm on your page.
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:49.119
I think it fits thematically because it's inheriting
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.320
the, I'm going to use Mike's favorite word here,
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.320
inheriting the trauma from the mother, right?
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:57.880
But it's like you don't inherit everything, but
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:01.019
it comes in pieces. And I think it looks like
00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:04.659
it's almost a part of their DNA, right? It's
00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:07.500
the spine and the head. I don't know. I think
00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:09.940
it's very fitting. Also, I'm never one to say
00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:13.199
this. Like I said, I agree with you because that's
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.119
the first thought I had when I saw it. However,
00:42:15.420 --> 00:42:18.159
the scene, if it was too weird, it would take
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.920
away from what the scene actually is. Yeah, absolutely.
00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:22.900
Which is such a touching moment. That's why I
00:42:22.900 --> 00:42:24.619
think it rides the line really well. Which is
00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:29.449
also the whole thing in the same vein. Um, what's
00:42:29.449 --> 00:42:32.030
the mechanics of the, of the scene at the beginning?
00:42:32.110 --> 00:42:34.289
Yeah. Yeah. Right. There's a reason, like if
00:42:34.289 --> 00:42:38.099
I, I. 100 % believe that if you ask Julia privately,
00:42:38.300 --> 00:42:39.980
she knows what it is. Yeah, but she won't say.
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.099
But it's not about if she couldn't film it or
00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:44.820
if she didn't think of it, which is the rare
00:42:44.820 --> 00:42:47.760
case of that would be the only thing that you'd
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.800
be thinking about. The actual more important
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.199
thing is that she got pregnant by a car, not
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:54.719
how it happened. Correct. But that took me a
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.840
couple, because I'm dumb sometimes, that took
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:59.619
me a while. You don't have to all agree. No,
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:03.760
I am dumb. It does take silence. He's looking
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:06.619
for support and it's just, Okay. No, I'm saying
00:43:06.619 --> 00:43:08.340
it for a reason. It took me a couple of watches
00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.119
to really understand that. Like, cause I'd always
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.599
be like, Oh, I like, like why? Why? Like what's
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:14.260
the mechanics here? How is this working? Well,
00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:16.800
it actually like would ruin the fact that I don't
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.320
need. Yeah, no, I do need it. It would be great
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:21.380
if it was an extra scene. Like if you could watch
00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:24.980
it as a bonus scene, but I think it would ruin
00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:27.780
the, the, again, the fact that. The most important
00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:29.199
thing is that she got pregnant by a car. Yeah.
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.039
That's what's important. Anyways. So I have a
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.380
question for my Oscars. Can I just give it international
00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:35.360
picture win? Go for it. Can that be the Oscar
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.480
that I give it? Yes. Absolutely. Just one Oscar.
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:38.940
Whatever Oscar you want. I didn't know if it
00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:40.099
was one person or just one Oscar. You can give
00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:42.460
it a short film. I don't care. This is your world.
00:43:42.500 --> 00:43:45.199
Cool. Then yes, it wins international for that
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.960
year. Sorry to drive my car, but yeah. Done.
00:43:46.980 --> 00:43:48.519
Yeah. Done. It's better than driving my car.
00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:52.320
My hot take is I actually think winning the Palme
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.400
d 'Or hurt its reputation more than it helped
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:57.900
it. Interesting. I think that the Palme d 'Or,
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:03.519
especially leading up until Tite, was very, very,
00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:06.400
they gave it to very prestigious, quote unquote,
00:44:06.619 --> 00:44:10.099
high art films. Even when movies like Crash,
00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:13.300
like we mentioned, were premiered there, they
00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.360
made up an award, a special grand jury award,
00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:21.119
just to shrug it off. But for this one, they
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.789
gave it that prize. Just from a marketing standpoint,
00:44:24.849 --> 00:44:26.409
when people see that it won the Palme d 'Or.
00:44:26.409 --> 00:44:27.869
It's like elevated too much. They think, oh,
00:44:27.869 --> 00:44:30.389
this is elevated, quote unquote, high art. And
00:44:30.389 --> 00:44:32.250
so they go into it with certain expectations.
00:44:32.329 --> 00:44:34.730
Now, I'm not saying that this is not T -Tang's
00:44:34.730 --> 00:44:36.730
fault. This is not the Palme d 'Or's fault. Because
00:44:36.730 --> 00:44:39.150
they gave it to the right winner. They gave it
00:44:39.150 --> 00:44:42.489
to the right film. I just think that the predecessors
00:44:42.489 --> 00:44:47.369
and the reputation that predecessors have when
00:44:47.369 --> 00:44:49.820
it comes to the Palme d 'Or. may have misled
00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:52.159
a lot of people into looking at this movie. And
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.079
then, of course, they take it out on the movie
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.900
itself rather than their expectations. It's a
00:44:57.900 --> 00:44:59.800
good take. Can I add just a little bit to that?
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.010
Sure. Whereas this Winning the Palm... let more
00:45:02.010 --> 00:45:05.429
people see it. Because I don't know if you would
00:45:05.429 --> 00:45:07.230
have heard about this movie otherwise or have
00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:09.050
seen it in theaters otherwise if it didn't win
00:45:09.050 --> 00:45:10.929
the Palm. And it kind of kicked down the door
00:45:10.929 --> 00:45:13.369
for a lot of other international movies and recognition
00:45:13.369 --> 00:45:15.050
because a lot of people were like, well, if you
00:45:15.050 --> 00:45:17.190
win the Palm, why didn't you also get nominated
00:45:17.190 --> 00:45:18.949
anywhere else? I think it also gives a little
00:45:18.949 --> 00:45:21.650
bit more credit, too, as it's not the crazy movie
00:45:21.650 --> 00:45:23.829
where the woman has sex with a car. They're like,
00:45:23.909 --> 00:45:24.889
hey, there's something... That's going to get
00:45:24.889 --> 00:45:27.489
me in the door. Yeah. That's going to get the
00:45:27.489 --> 00:45:30.510
mics in the door. I think it's a... It was...
00:45:30.780 --> 00:45:33.019
important to reward that film for what it actually
00:45:33.019 --> 00:45:35.920
was I mean it is also the movie where she has
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.659
sex with a car you know it's that is what the
00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:41.840
movie is however there's so many layers to this
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.840
movie and it's a really smart it's a really impressive
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:49.820
movie and I think it was important for it to
00:45:49.820 --> 00:45:51.380
get that award but I get what you mean where
00:45:52.030 --> 00:45:54.130
The average viewer going, oh, it's the – and
00:45:54.130 --> 00:45:55.650
then they go and they're like, oh, well, they're
00:45:55.650 --> 00:45:57.050
just giving this award to anything. That's just
00:45:57.050 --> 00:45:59.449
grotesque. Yeah. I get what you mean. Yeah. That's
00:45:59.449 --> 00:46:01.389
another – Good take. It's a good take. It's another
00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:03.110
double feature that could work as the substance.
00:46:03.170 --> 00:46:05.530
Very similar. Of course. Like second feature,
00:46:05.650 --> 00:46:08.369
you know, went off and actually – French. Kind
00:46:08.369 --> 00:46:10.969
of French. Well, yeah. They're all the same.
00:46:11.829 --> 00:46:14.510
French ladies are my favorite, man. But like
00:46:14.510 --> 00:46:18.829
use, you know – Used to tan and jumped off of
00:46:18.829 --> 00:46:21.889
that to then be in a space where it was nominated
00:46:21.889 --> 00:46:23.889
for. Yeah, it definitely changed some things.
00:46:23.929 --> 00:46:25.889
Do you want to do your Oscar too? Sure. Wait,
00:46:25.949 --> 00:46:27.949
before I do that though. Coralie Farge. Yeah.
00:46:28.250 --> 00:46:31.610
Julia Ducarno. Yeah. Claire Denis. Yeah. Who
00:46:31.610 --> 00:46:35.289
are you choosing out of the three? That's really
00:46:35.289 --> 00:46:41.260
tough. Throw in Claire Denis. Weird. It's not
00:46:41.260 --> 00:46:44.780
going to be. I mean, she made. What was that
00:46:44.780 --> 00:46:47.920
movie she made? I'm drawing a blank. No, no.
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.820
I did not like it. Hold on. It was like in the
00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:52.900
90s, like the late 90s. She's made a lot of movies.
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.900
Mostly in the 90s. Not just because we're doing
00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:59.880
the episode. It's probably Julia. Here's the
00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:04.019
thing. I really like Revenge. Also, I have one
00:47:04.019 --> 00:47:08.840
title. first debut. But Revenge is not as good
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:11.320
as Raw. Trouble Every Day. That's the movie I
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:12.460
was thinking of. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:12.860 --> 00:47:16.239
2001, I think. That was... 2000, 2001? No, I
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.380
believe that was 99? Yeah, late 90s, maybe 2000.
00:47:19.460 --> 00:47:22.300
No, 2001. Yeah, there you go. Damn. So, yeah,
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:26.960
I'd probably choose Julia just out of if I had
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:30.550
to. Because I do think The Substance is also
00:47:30.550 --> 00:47:34.429
an all -timer, but I like Raw and Titane better.
00:47:34.550 --> 00:47:35.849
I haven't seen Alpha. You haven't seen Alpha
00:47:35.849 --> 00:47:37.750
yet. I'm scared to see it. What about you two?
00:47:37.849 --> 00:47:40.570
Yeah. I pick Julia. No, no. I mean, of the three.
00:47:40.730 --> 00:47:44.510
Oh, it's Julia. It's Julia. Sorry to derail this
00:47:44.510 --> 00:47:47.869
conversation. It's Julia. It's Julia. Claire
00:47:47.869 --> 00:47:50.010
Denis has a longer track record. Sure, sure,
00:47:50.010 --> 00:47:54.349
but it's Julia. If I'm looking to the future,
00:47:54.710 --> 00:47:58.449
then it's Julia. If I'm looking at what exists
00:47:58.449 --> 00:48:01.730
right now, it's Claire Denis. The answer is Julia.
00:48:01.849 --> 00:48:04.710
What's your Oscar pick? My Oscar pick was Best
00:48:04.710 --> 00:48:09.920
Director. Okay. Respectable. My hot take's kind
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.079
of funny. I think the car should have been hotter.
00:48:13.139 --> 00:48:16.440
What do you mean by that? Like more fire? I think
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:20.219
it's a really ugly car. I think that, like, she
00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:21.559
could, you know, it could have been a sports
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.360
car. She could have had, you know. It's a muscle
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.679
car. It's a muscle Cadillac car. That looks like
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:27.199
it's dressed like Guy Fieri. It has to be able
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.800
to bounce. It's dressed like Guy Fieri. It's
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.099
got a bounce on it, crazy style, man. But that's
00:48:33.099 --> 00:48:34.860
kind of, yeah, that's funny, though. Yeah, I
00:48:34.860 --> 00:48:37.559
just thought - The car has to be hotter. That
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.900
is a hot take. That's the car she wants to sleep
00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:42.139
with? That's the one, you know? It's got to have
00:48:42.139 --> 00:48:44.800
more curves. Yeah, it's like - Would it be hotter
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.860
if it - There was a lot of nice cars at that
00:48:46.860 --> 00:48:49.159
place. If it looked like Lightning McQueen? I
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:50.920
would have taken Lightning McQueen, you know?
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:55.199
That's really funny. Just one Oscar? Best original
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:58.400
screenplay. Yeah. That's - Yeah. Yeah. Okay,
00:48:58.460 --> 00:49:00.719
here we go. Wait, your props. Your props. Do
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.079
your props quick. Oh, the car. The needle. Hair
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.519
needle. I got the needle. It's the baby. Obviously,
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.539
I want the baby. I don't want a baby. I never
00:49:10.539 --> 00:49:14.440
want a baby. It's not a real baby. I just want
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.780
a car that can do hydraulics. I think that's
00:49:15.780 --> 00:49:18.519
sick. Yeah, I take the weird baby. Yeah. Okay,
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:20.820
so now we're going to, that's perfect. I was
00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:22.980
hoping we'd have, we can spend the last 10 minutes
00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:27.400
pitching our sequel ideas. I'd like to start
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.699
with Elijah. Oh, okay. And hear what Elijah has
00:49:30.699 --> 00:49:33.539
to say. Mine's very quick. Okay. Yeah, I think
00:49:33.539 --> 00:49:35.710
someone, Dalton's cooking on his, but. I think
00:49:35.710 --> 00:49:37.469
mine's also short. Okay, good. Because mine is
00:49:37.469 --> 00:49:40.469
very quick. We can get to everybody else's. Think
00:49:40.469 --> 00:49:46.369
of a mix of the movie Rubber and Finding Nemo.
00:49:48.389 --> 00:49:53.309
So the Cadillac goes on a nationwide journey
00:49:53.309 --> 00:49:57.369
to find his long lost child. That's my movie.
00:49:57.409 --> 00:49:59.369
And it's a road trip movie. And it's a road trip
00:49:59.369 --> 00:50:01.630
movie. It is following an inanimate object that
00:50:01.630 --> 00:50:04.030
is running through and killing people. That's
00:50:04.030 --> 00:50:07.480
why. Rubber. Yeah. No, no. Well, rubber, yes,
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.260
but also. That's what happens in rubber. That's
00:50:09.260 --> 00:50:11.420
what happens in rubber, but also Alexia is, you
00:50:11.420 --> 00:50:13.380
know, that's what the Cadillac and Alexia share
00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:15.039
together is their shared love of killing people.
00:50:15.179 --> 00:50:16.800
So it goes through this nationwide journey of
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.380
killing people while also looking for the long
00:50:19.380 --> 00:50:21.780
lost son. You got a title? I don't have a title.
00:50:21.820 --> 00:50:24.659
Okay. I didn't think to think of a title, but
00:50:24.659 --> 00:50:27.199
mine's, I went a different route with having
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:29.539
it be set further in the future. So Car Baby
00:50:29.539 --> 00:50:33.510
is grown up and it's a he. He's a go -go dancer
00:50:33.510 --> 00:50:37.010
at a club and some shady things are going on,
00:50:37.070 --> 00:50:39.170
kind of like Crimes of the Future is what I was
00:50:39.170 --> 00:50:42.570
feeling. Sounds sick already. Vincent can still
00:50:42.570 --> 00:50:44.170
make a cameo because he can still be alive in
00:50:44.170 --> 00:50:46.750
this, but who I cast in it is this man named
00:50:46.750 --> 00:50:50.289
Louis Garrel, who is very French -looking. You
00:50:50.289 --> 00:50:53.730
might recognize him from Little Women. I think
00:50:53.730 --> 00:50:55.570
just like kind of being like seedy underground
00:50:55.570 --> 00:50:57.730
and he had some, some things that he's working
00:50:57.730 --> 00:51:00.329
through himself. That was kind of the idea that
00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:02.670
I was going with, with it. Okay. Nice. Do you,
00:51:02.690 --> 00:51:04.690
you didn't have a title. I do have a title actually.
00:51:04.769 --> 00:51:08.010
Oh, it is. Uh, I had it one second. I had it
00:51:08.010 --> 00:51:12.409
pulled up. I had a seer because it's steel in
00:51:12.409 --> 00:51:14.010
French. There you go. Oh, there you go. Cause
00:51:14.010 --> 00:51:17.989
it's steel. Yeah. Okay. Nice. Nice. Oh, is it
00:51:17.989 --> 00:51:23.429
me? Okay. So. I was kind of in the same ballpark
00:51:23.429 --> 00:51:27.849
in terms of time period as Maddy. So we're going
00:51:27.849 --> 00:51:30.570
to skip ahead. We could do senior in high school
00:51:30.570 --> 00:51:33.929
slash first year college. So we're following
00:51:33.929 --> 00:51:37.570
Car Baby, who is a dude. That's how I saw him.
00:51:37.849 --> 00:51:46.010
He is a virgin. Trying to figure himself out.
00:51:46.380 --> 00:51:48.420
Others are trying to figure him out. I can tell
00:51:48.420 --> 00:51:52.820
where it's going. And, you know, like, girls
00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:54.280
are all into him because he's all, like, angsty
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.539
and weird and has, like, cool stuff on him, you
00:51:56.539 --> 00:51:59.199
know. And then guys are also into him because
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.420
he's, you know. Angsty and weird and has cool
00:52:01.420 --> 00:52:04.239
stuff on him. Cool titanium stuff on him. Probably
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.880
good at sports because he's reinforced with space
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:09.500
age technology. But it's really about, like,
00:52:09.500 --> 00:52:14.000
he very truly does not fit in. Like, he can't
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:18.119
really get into, you know. So this is all set
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:20.539
up. We get the dad in it like he's part of it.
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.480
This is essentially a coming -of -age story,
00:52:22.619 --> 00:52:26.039
okay? So he's at a party of the, you know, he
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:27.900
gets into a party of, like, one of the coolest
00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:31.320
kids, right? And, you know, goes out to grab
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:33.440
a beer or whatever in the garage, and there's
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:37.639
a car there. So now we're going to mirror what
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.619
happened in Titane, and he loses his virginity
00:52:40.619 --> 00:52:43.400
to the car. Now, this is where also we're going
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.679
to mirror Titane in that. instead of the human
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:48.880
being pregnant, it is the car that is pregnant.
00:52:49.739 --> 00:52:54.539
Interesting. It's the car that's pregnant with
00:52:54.539 --> 00:52:58.380
a human baby. So now he has to, like, do we let,
00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:00.500
does someone find out, you know, do they have
00:53:00.500 --> 00:53:02.880
to hide the car that it has a human baby inside
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:05.019
of it? It's just a comedy of errors. Where is
00:53:05.019 --> 00:53:10.880
it gestating? In the trunk. In the trunk. Yeah,
00:53:11.019 --> 00:53:15.739
of course. And then again, mirroring to Tane,
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.059
the last scene of the movie is the car birthing
00:53:18.059 --> 00:53:21.360
this. And then he's now he's now a teen dad with
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:24.019
also a car. Great. Do you have a title? I do.
00:53:24.500 --> 00:53:29.800
So what I did was in sort of the idea of being
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.280
sort of not technically, but kind of opposite
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.940
of titanium is Oz. Osmium? Osmium? Sure. Which
00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:40.380
is the densest naturally occurring element representing
00:53:40.380 --> 00:53:43.260
the polar extreme to titanium's low density profile.
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.840
So you just go with the opposite. It also kind
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.159
of sounds cool. Osmium. Wow. So there you go.
00:53:50.219 --> 00:53:53.119
I like it. So it mirrors it, but it's your coming
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:55.300
of age. I would like there to be a scene in there
00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:57.079
for when you write the screenplay. I'd really
00:53:57.079 --> 00:53:58.420
like there to be a scene in there where he's
00:53:58.420 --> 00:54:00.219
sneaking around with the cars in shop class.
00:54:01.460 --> 00:54:03.760
Well, see, that to me is in the first act, you
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.440
know, because you have to set up that he has
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:08.139
an attraction, right? But he doesn't know what
00:54:08.139 --> 00:54:09.920
to do with it. So, yeah, of course there had
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:11.639
to be a show. See, I mean, it kind of just writes
00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:15.119
itself. I'd watch it so bad, dude. Yeah. All
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.570
right. That's a to be special. Oh, yeah. There
00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:20.429
was one. I went pretty different. Yeah, let's
00:54:20.429 --> 00:54:23.929
hear it. I want to start with the title. Sure.
00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:27.760
So I pictured... The Americans have purchased
00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:29.340
it, and they're going to franchise it. Oh, no.
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.719
Okay. Oh, God. And it's called... The Disney
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:38.920
remake. ...Titan 2 Streets of Steel. Do you need
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.780
to say more? No, he's not. Okay. Also, for some
00:54:43.780 --> 00:54:46.199
reason, because I didn't know the gender of the
00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:51.079
baby, it's gender neutral. Sure. So what I wrote
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.980
was... Gender in neutral? Ooh. There you go.
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:58.519
Ooh. The baby. That's a bar. Half man, half machine.
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.139
Raised by a first responder, has uncovered the
00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:04.380
truth about their mother being a serial killer
00:55:04.380 --> 00:55:06.960
and has devoted their life to the pursuit of
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.900
justice. With a spiritual connection to machines
00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:16.800
in a body of hardened titanium, they must track
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:20.400
down a new serial killer. Let's go, dude. I'd
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.679
watch the shit out of that. I just went RoboCop.
00:55:22.699 --> 00:55:25.039
I just went RoboCop. That's fantastic. There's
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:27.019
just so much to work with there. That's awesome,
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.170
dude. Come into contact with the... serial killer,
00:55:29.250 --> 00:55:34.130
and it's also a woman, and now the baby's like...
00:55:34.130 --> 00:55:36.070
The shock of it is... Well, he's not a baby anymore,
00:55:36.289 --> 00:55:38.510
right? No, no. He's a grown -up, but that trauma's
00:55:38.510 --> 00:55:42.050
still so real. Like, can I kill my mother, you
00:55:42.050 --> 00:55:44.789
know? A little trench coat, you know? That's
00:55:44.789 --> 00:55:48.010
a sick movie idea. That's a good idea. The title
00:55:48.010 --> 00:55:49.769
is phenomenal. Did you start with the title and
00:55:49.769 --> 00:55:52.250
work down? Can you say the title again? Titan
00:55:52.250 --> 00:55:56.219
II, Streets of Steel. Did you start with the
00:55:56.219 --> 00:55:58.360
title and work your way up? No. No, okay. I came
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:02.380
out of it. Yeah, I... Initially, I pictured,
00:56:02.420 --> 00:56:05.840
like, a motorcycle man chasing people through
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:08.980
the streets. Okay. And then... Watch that video.
00:56:09.059 --> 00:56:12.119
I know, I know. And then I was like... I don't
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:13.679
know. That doesn't really work because, like,
00:56:13.699 --> 00:56:16.619
the baby didn't have wheels, you know? That we
00:56:16.619 --> 00:56:18.519
know of. That we know of. We didn't really get
00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:19.840
to see the front. The face could have been. The
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:21.500
hands could have been. The face could have been
00:56:21.500 --> 00:56:25.019
a wheel, yeah. That would be funny. And then
00:56:25.019 --> 00:56:27.659
I was like, okay, well, what would, like, a half
00:56:27.659 --> 00:56:30.659
human, half machine do? And then I just, that's
00:56:30.659 --> 00:56:33.739
Robocop. Yeah. So I couldn't shake that. But
00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:35.860
I like the seven spin where you're, like, going
00:56:35.860 --> 00:56:37.239
after a serial killer. It's got to be a serial
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:39.820
killer, yeah. But I also, I'm like. Cool. Raised
00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:42.019
by a first responder, you're going to join either.
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:46.530
Totally. I like it. Look at us being some creatives
00:56:46.530 --> 00:56:48.889
right back here. This isn't as much fun as that
00:56:48.889 --> 00:56:51.389
was to put together and to listen to all of your
00:56:51.389 --> 00:56:54.750
pitches. It's not to demean the awesomeness and
00:56:54.750 --> 00:56:57.489
true depth of - Never make a sequel to this movie.
00:56:57.610 --> 00:57:00.010
Don't do it. Don't make a sequel to this movie.
00:57:00.190 --> 00:57:03.849
We're not demeaning how epic and deep this movie
00:57:03.849 --> 00:57:06.230
is, in my opinion, I think, and all of us can
00:57:06.230 --> 00:57:08.789
agree that this movie has a ton of layers. Yes.
00:57:08.829 --> 00:57:11.349
It is extremely rewatchable because of that fact,
00:57:11.449 --> 00:57:15.559
even if it's somewhat disturbing. And your mileage
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:17.940
will vary as to like, you know, some people will
00:57:17.940 --> 00:57:20.239
be like, Sam will be like, this is the craziest
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:22.659
thing I've ever seen. Or, you know, it's very
00:57:22.659 --> 00:57:25.079
uncomfortable, disturbing, fair. Some people
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.800
will be like, that's not crazy. Okay, fine. But
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.380
there's so many different layers to this movie
00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:33.840
where you can start unpacking like what the intentions
00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:36.840
are and what's shown, what's not shown. I just
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:38.760
think it's a really - It's just kind of a beautiful
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:42.320
movie. It is. My biggest caveat is if you plan
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:43.920
to watch this movie, you have to watch all of
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:45.699
it. Because I think some people would tap out.
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:47.199
I mean, that's such a great point. And I think
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:49.639
you have to watch all of it. You can't tap out.
00:57:49.739 --> 00:57:53.820
After the first 20 minutes, just stick with it.
00:57:53.820 --> 00:57:57.000
Pedal to the metal. You've seen it now. I would
00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.980
like to say that my Streets of Steel there was
00:57:59.980 --> 00:58:03.019
mainly just making fun of the idea of making
00:58:03.019 --> 00:58:06.920
sequels to movies like this. It was like, I don't
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:10.619
want to see that movie. I want to see Robocop,
00:58:10.659 --> 00:58:15.230
yes. Of course. But I don't want to see... But
00:58:15.230 --> 00:58:17.690
if you are to watch it, watch it all in one go.
00:58:17.829 --> 00:58:19.750
And watch it on your birthday to keep with the
00:58:19.750 --> 00:58:24.050
tradition. Whoever's out there who's got a birthday
00:58:24.050 --> 00:58:27.469
coming up soon, throw it on. Throw it on for
00:58:27.469 --> 00:58:29.530
the fam. You know what I mean? The fam will be
00:58:29.530 --> 00:58:32.309
all into it. It is a story about family. It is
00:58:32.309 --> 00:58:36.110
a family movie. A father, you know, trying to...
00:58:36.539 --> 00:58:39.579
come to terms with loss. And sometimes family
00:58:39.579 --> 00:58:43.360
isn't by blood. Finding a new person to love
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:45.500
and take care of. It's a really beautiful story.
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:49.360
It sure is. And on that note, come on out to
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:50.960
Movie Trivia Night tonight. We're going to be
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.880

00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:05.610
-up. You are tuned into Outside the Frame, 94
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:41.000
.9 Radio Western. 94 .9 Radio Western, you're
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.600

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.060
movie talk show. My name's Elijah. I'm Maddy.
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.840
I'm Mike. I'm Dalton. And we are here to talk
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.399
to you about film and the culture that surrounds
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.039
them. If you'd like to take part in the conversation,
00:00:51.259 --> 00:00:55.140

00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:59.619
-661 -3600. Before we get into our show today,
00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:02.380
only one real thing that we need to do for housekeeping
00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:05.400
today, and that is in about just under two hours,
00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:08.930
we will be starting... Another edition of Movie
00:01:08.930 --> 00:01:11.750
Trivia Night at the Holy Diver. Sweet. Starts
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:13.930
at 8 p .m. We were talking about some of the
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:16.590
prizes and... Kind of went overboard this week.
00:01:16.769 --> 00:01:19.709
Yeah, would you say a buttload would be a good...
00:01:19.709 --> 00:01:22.489
Yeah, there's a lot. We might have to do some
00:01:22.489 --> 00:01:24.849
extra like... Like I was saying, we might have
00:01:24.849 --> 00:01:27.969
to do some extra random bonus prizes and stuff
00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:30.750
because I feel like I brought too much. That's
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.329
okay. Because also Radio Western brings prizes
00:01:33.329 --> 00:01:35.670
and we have prizes. It's not just the Highland.
00:01:36.689 --> 00:01:39.689
Also Diver brings out prizes too. So there's
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:41.620
a lot of good stuff. It's a lot of hands in the
00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.700
kitchen, but for the best possible reason. Fun
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:45.120
categories this month, I have to say. Yeah, it's
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.319
going to be a fun one. It's good stuff. Yeah,
00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.200
I'm really looking forward to seeing how people
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.560
will react to some of these. Yeah, it should
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.400
be good. Yeah, so your brain's working. Exactly,
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:56.439
yeah. Come on out. The weather's not awful from
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.500
last time I checked. It should be okay now. It
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:02.500
should be okay now. No tornadoes, no air quality
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.819
is, I think, okay. No thunderstorms, I don't
00:02:05.819 --> 00:02:08.590
think. It was raining earlier, but I think we're
00:02:08.590 --> 00:02:10.990
okay. I think we're okay. Okay. Rain's fine.
00:02:11.449 --> 00:02:14.729
Rain's fine. Yeah. We've gone through hell and
00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:16.909
back with some of our weather, so I think you
00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:18.289
guys can make it out today. It's going to be
00:02:18.289 --> 00:02:20.409
a really fun time. We need Tornado Tim on it.
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:23.650
Where is he? I know. No, trust me. We would have
00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:27.330
heard from him by now. That's about it for housekeeping.
00:02:27.550 --> 00:02:30.469
So that's why we get into today's episode, which
00:02:30.469 --> 00:02:34.110
was a rewatchable episode. And this is a movie
00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.389
that is a favorite amongst a lot of us here.
00:02:37.509 --> 00:02:39.710
But we're doing it for a very particular reason.
00:02:39.770 --> 00:02:44.889
Because today, one of our co -hosts has a birthday.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.120
That is correct. That is correct. How old are
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.740
you turning today, Elijah? I am turning the big
00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:55.680
3 -1 today. 3 -1. You're officially head on into
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.080
your dirty 30s. Head on. Yeah, dude. I'm knee
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.180
deep in it now. No turning back. In the weeds.
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.120
In the weeds. Exactly. So there's a reason why
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.080
we call it the dirty 30s, dude. You'll figure
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.020
it out. And what an appropriate movie to start.
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:15.319
Oh, yeah. Started my day with it today. Oh, yeah,
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.419
you weren't there when I, yeah, the first thing
00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:19.979
I did when I just sat up in my bed, got downstairs,
00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:23.580
and I just threw on Titin. Dude, I love a 7 a
00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:25.500
.m. movie. I'll throw this kind of stuff on,
00:03:25.539 --> 00:03:27.659
too. Oh, yeah, absolutely. It was a great way
00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.479
to start my day. And I did just kind of give
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.659
away the movie that we're going to be talking
00:03:30.659 --> 00:03:35.479
about today, but it is the 2021 film Titin. This
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.400
movie, we decided to do this movie, A, because
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.340
I love this. I think this movie is awesome. Just
00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:45.979
so good. Five years ago today, or five years
00:03:45.979 --> 00:03:50.400
ago, about a week ago, it premiered, or actually
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.159
I believe it won the Palme d 'Or at the Cannes
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.379
Film Festival in July. That's when they had it
00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:58.800
in July. It was about mid -July back in 2021.
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.860
COVID year, that's what it is. And so amongst
00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:06.139
the list, it really came out as the shocker.
00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:08.669
Especially to win that type of prize awarded
00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:12.590
accidentally by Spike Lee that year. This was
00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:17.329
like one of the first movies that I really got
00:04:17.329 --> 00:04:19.670
behind when I first started working at the Highlands.
00:04:19.689 --> 00:04:22.269
So there's a couple that that fall and into the
00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:27.610
early 2022 season. But Tiff happened. in September
00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:31.850
and they I wasn't there but supposedly what was
00:04:31.850 --> 00:04:34.910
told to me is like the premiere they had like
00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:37.709
trucks with like all the girls dancing on the
00:04:37.709 --> 00:04:40.569
trucks like in the opening scene wow or like
00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:43.029
not quite the opening scene but the right after
00:04:43.029 --> 00:04:46.430
the credits and that was like outside of the
00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:49.550
where they were being premiered and yeah everyone
00:04:49.550 --> 00:04:51.949
was there it was like this big to do and it was
00:04:51.949 --> 00:04:56.620
like the talk of TIFF yes this movie And obviously
00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:01.620
being a fan of Raw, so Julia's first film, I
00:05:01.620 --> 00:05:04.319
love that movie. That movie rips very hard. I
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.279
don't know if you guys have seen that movie,
00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:09.720
but it's very good. So, well, you can say yes
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.959
or no. Of course. You all looked at me as if
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.459
I was talking French, you know? Like, Raw is
00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:18.279
awesome. So being a fan of that and then hearing
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.860
everything around this movie, there was just
00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:24.060
so much hype, so much talk. You read the premise.
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.680
But then you, like, I don't know if you want
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.560
to read the IMDb. It's very funny, the little
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.259
write -up. Yeah, because they were kind of, like,
00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:33.339
hiding it a little bit when it first came out.
00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:35.279
For good reason, I'd say. While he's looking
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.220
that up, I'd also like to mention that it's fitting
00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:38.819
that we're doing this on your birthday because
00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:42.680
I saw this opening night was my birthday. Yeah.
00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:44.819
No way. Opening night at the Highland. Maddy
00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:48.439
and I went. I knew literally nothing about this
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.079
movie except that it won the Palme d 'Or. And
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:54.230
then I messaged Maddy, who... didn't want to
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:57.930
go at first yes and then uh you looked at was
00:05:57.930 --> 00:06:00.470
it the parents guide or i think i looked up like
00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:02.870
what are the things that are the like what makes
00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:05.550
this movie so wild yeah and then she messages
00:06:05.550 --> 00:06:08.990
me back like now she goes I just saw what's in
00:06:08.990 --> 00:06:12.230
this movie. I have to see it. What is going on?
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:13.750
And then I'm like, I still don't know what it
00:06:13.750 --> 00:06:16.329
is. I was like, okay, sure. And then we went
00:06:16.329 --> 00:06:19.889
and I was like. Read the, I would love to. So
00:06:19.889 --> 00:06:22.029
if you're, if you have not seen this movie, this
00:06:22.029 --> 00:06:26.370
is your, your introduction to this film. 2021
00:06:26.370 --> 00:06:30.389
film by Julia Ducarno. Following a series of
00:06:30.389 --> 00:06:33.350
unexplained crimes, a father is reunited with
00:06:33.350 --> 00:06:37.029
the son who has been missing for 10 years. And
00:06:37.029 --> 00:06:40.110
isn't that just what happens? That is technically
00:06:40.110 --> 00:06:43.490
what happens in this. From one character's perspective,
00:06:43.649 --> 00:06:48.149
kind of. Now, the other interesting thing is
00:06:48.149 --> 00:06:51.430
then if you watch the trailer and then go back
00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:53.170
and think about that description, you're like.
00:06:53.610 --> 00:06:55.990
Those what is happening? How are these the same?
00:06:55.990 --> 00:06:59.930
Where are these matching up? So this leads me.
00:06:59.970 --> 00:07:01.569
So I was thinking about this on the drive in
00:07:01.569 --> 00:07:05.290
and I wanted to ask Maddy this because famously.
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.160
You have said on the show, and when we go out
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.680
or talk about movies outside of the show, that
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.660
you don't re -watch movies. Now, this episode
00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:17.759
is specifically called The Rewatchables. Of course,
00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:20.000
we stole it from The Rewatchables Show, which
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.920
is a wildly popular podcast. No, we changed the
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.600
categories and stuff a little bit, and we'll
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.420
get to that in a second. But had you re -watched
00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:36.420
this movie since you saw it? And depending on
00:07:36.420 --> 00:07:38.220
how you answer that question, then what was it
00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:40.939
like rewatching it this time? So I did watch
00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.759
it on Dalton's birthday for the first time. Yeah.
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.319
And then I bought the Blu -ray. So sick. Didn't
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.579
watch it for years. And then I think it was last
00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:50.620
year I rewatched it again. So this is the third
00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.360
time because I also did it last night. But that's
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.379
huge for you because you don't rewatch movies.
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.259
This is like maybe this was like hovering around
00:07:58.259 --> 00:08:00.699
my top four on Letterboxd for a while. Like this
00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:02.720
is one of those ones where I'm like, I almost
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.519
was scared to watch it a second time because
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.500
I didn't know if it would live up to that first
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:08.779
time watch. And I still think there is something
00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:11.410
about. what this movie unfolds into that you
00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:14.209
experience the first time the most. 100%. But
00:08:14.209 --> 00:08:15.810
I rewatched it last night, and you guys know
00:08:15.810 --> 00:08:17.730
the little notebook I have. I filled out a whole
00:08:17.730 --> 00:08:20.709
page of notes on this one. So, like, this is
00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:22.769
a movie that I feel like I can really sink my
00:08:22.769 --> 00:08:26.050
teeth into, and it's one that I was okay rewatching.
00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:28.800
Like even from only being like a year out. A
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.480
year out, yeah. You have the poster as well.
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.440
I do have the poster, yeah. This one? No, I have
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.679
a different one. Is it the darker one with her
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.580
on the - No, it's not. I'll see. I think it was
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.200
made by like a fan, but I'll try to find it,
00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:43.980
but you guys can - Yeah. I do remember that this
00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.419
film came up before, not really on any episode,
00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:49.539
just in passing of Outside the Frame. However,
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:53.539
when Mike and I, the first time we shared a mic
00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:57.750
- Pun intended. Together. It was during the 2022
00:08:57.750 --> 00:09:03.090
Oscar roundtable. So it was for the 2021 films.
00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.029
Yeah, films. And there was a time when we had
00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:07.889
stopped talking about the Oscars for a second.
00:09:08.450 --> 00:09:09.970
I think it was right before we got into Best
00:09:09.970 --> 00:09:11.909
Picture. You said, all right, before we get into
00:09:11.909 --> 00:09:13.049
this, everybody, I just want to know, what are
00:09:13.049 --> 00:09:14.570
your favorite movies of the year? And when it
00:09:14.570 --> 00:09:16.690
got to you immediately, you said, T -10. Yeah.
00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:19.549
T -10. That was all over that. It was my favorite
00:09:19.549 --> 00:09:21.649
of that year, too. Yeah. It was unbelievable.
00:09:22.610 --> 00:09:25.419
So let's. I just wanted to go through maybe our
00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:28.879
six categories, and then we can kind of, I don't
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.779
know if that's enough setup for this movie. I
00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:32.659
mean, we're going to spoil this movie probably
00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:34.740
throughout the episode. I think it's really funny
00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:37.559
that if people don't know what this movie is,
00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.659
and then we talk about it, they're going to be
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.360
like, what on earth are these people talking
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:44.059
about? Can I do a quick update? Go for it. I
00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:45.639
found the poster because my mom sent it to me.
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.460
She had a picture of it. Oh, that's a great poster.
00:09:49.309 --> 00:09:52.870
That has to be a fan. I think it is, yeah. That's
00:09:52.870 --> 00:09:55.909
unbelievable. But it's pretty sick. Okay, so
00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:59.269
we start off with, we kind of go through and
00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:01.990
pick our most rewatchable scene. This is essentially
00:10:01.990 --> 00:10:05.120
an excuse to go through the movie. sort of and
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.899
and talk about our fate like we don't have to
00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:10.000
pick one scene necessarily we'll talk about multiple
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.340
scenes and how the film unfolds and stuff but
00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:15.379
if we can land on each of our favorite rewatchable
00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:18.179
scenes that's that's kind of the goal there with
00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:21.799
that category um favorite uh or not favorite
00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:24.519
sorry uh best double feature so what what film
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.720
would you want to uh double feature with this
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:32.700
film uh what prop or piece of memorabilia would
00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:36.000
you want from this movie, if you could buy one
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.879
or have one. One that I added in just because
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.700
I thought it'd be fun because of the way this
00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:44.820
movie ends is we're each going to... spend a
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.620
small moment and do like an elevator pitch or
00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:50.980
a small pitch for a sequel of some kind, uh,
00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:54.639
two to 10. So a little story, like you can throw
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.220
in whatever you want if you have other stuff,
00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:58.120
but like basically we're going to try and franchise
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.840
it. What happens? What happens the next day?
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.659
What happens if there was to tan too? Uh, so
00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:07.820
we'll have some fun with that. Uh, hottest take,
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.580
uh, the Sam thinks, uh, Martin Scorsese's best
00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:15.200
film is Hugo. Uh, hottest. So this is if you
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.440
have a quote -unquote hot take about the movie
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.019
or something that surrounds the film, this is
00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:23.440
where you would say it. And then just one Oscar,
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.120
who gets it, which I think is an actually important
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:29.600
category because this movie was snubbed in a
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.220
year in which it's insane that it was. But I
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.919
don't want to step on a couple of my hot takes.
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.019
We can wait for that. And best one Oscar. But
00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:41.940
that's why I chose that category because it wasn't
00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:45.190
nominated for it. anything. So, so those are
00:11:45.190 --> 00:11:47.490
what we're going to try and get through on this,
00:11:47.490 --> 00:11:50.669
on this episode. Yes. Oh, before we, speaking
00:11:50.669 --> 00:11:53.490
of, I did speak with a former outside the frame
00:11:53.490 --> 00:11:58.049
alum, alum, alum, alum, alum, Sam, Samantha,
00:11:58.090 --> 00:12:00.830
earlier today. Who has my Blu -ray. That's exactly
00:12:00.830 --> 00:12:03.070
what she said. When I mentioned that we were
00:12:03.070 --> 00:12:05.190
talking about, she was like. oh my God, I still
00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:06.870
have his Blu -ray. I promise I'd give it back.
00:12:06.889 --> 00:12:09.669
Yeah. Like two years ago, three years ago or
00:12:09.669 --> 00:12:11.629
something. Two years, I think. Good gift. Good
00:12:11.629 --> 00:12:14.309
gift. Yeah, that's fine. She can have it. It's
00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:16.710
okay. Maybe one day you'll get it back. Maybe.
00:12:16.850 --> 00:12:19.990
But shout out to Sam. So what did she say about
00:12:19.990 --> 00:12:22.470
this movie? She said, if I remember correctly.
00:12:22.570 --> 00:12:25.190
I know she rated it on Letterboxd. I believe
00:12:25.190 --> 00:12:29.330
she gave this three stars on Letterboxd. But
00:12:29.330 --> 00:12:32.070
she said that, I believe her exact words were,
00:12:32.190 --> 00:12:35.179
this movie makes me uncomfortable. Yeah. I mean,
00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:38.820
that's true. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, checks out,
00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.519
but I told her to rewatch it again because I
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.259
think it would be worth a rewatch. Yeah. Especially
00:12:44.259 --> 00:12:45.879
because she said she was going to tune into today's
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.000
episode. She has a pretty funny... It is really
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:50.460
good. Are you looking it up right now? Yeah,
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.019
I have it. Okay. Well, it's fine because we're
00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:55.679
going to be spoiling the movie. She gave it three
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.360
stars and a heart. Okay. And said, I was stressing
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.279
about what make and model the baby would be for
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:08.500
nothing. That's quintessential, Sam. That's the
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.120
only thing that she could think about. There's
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:14.080
so much going on in that movie. But it's a valid
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.779
concern. Shall we get started with our first?
00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.299
Sure. Basically how I wrote this out, it depends
00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:23.519
on how you did it, but I just did it chronologically.
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:26.700
So we can just kind of, and then if you have,
00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:34.940
look who it is. It's Sam. Sam just sent me a
00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:39.779
photo with her making a crying type face and
00:13:39.779 --> 00:13:44.840
holding my Blu -ray. Thanks, Sam. Shout out.
00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:47.279
You have to post that on the Instagram. Yeah,
00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:50.480
include that in the episode. Sam, send me a text
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.820
message if you're okay with me just putting you
00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:54.720
on blast on Instagram because I'll do it. So
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.480
I just kind of went through chronologically.
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.159
So we can just kick it off and go around. I'm
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.019
not going to. We can leave until we've kind of
00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:06.440
exhausted all the scenes we want to talk about,
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.960
and then we can sort of say our favorite scenes.
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.299
So to me, aside from the very opening, which
00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:18.559
is, yes, it kicks off, it gives you some kind
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.340
of reason for what is about to happen, I guess,
00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.700
which is like a car accident. The main character
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.559
has a car accident as a kid and has some surgeries
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.919
and whatnot. The movie really kicks off right
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.879
after that. Yeah, and doesn't really let up either
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.399
for the first, like the first act, like first
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:41.740
half hour. Yeah, 25, 30 minutes. We go, so for
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:44.840
me, I kind of, even though technically it's wrong,
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.179
but I kind of group the... When she goes, we
00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:52.440
get what her job is, which is basically to dance
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.320
on cars for this weird sort of French car show.
00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:58.460
She's got to be oddly a celebrity. She's got
00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:02.259
to be a model of some sort. She has fans that
00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:04.059
she signs autographs for. Oh, yeah. She's got
00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:07.620
to be, yeah. It goes, so we get that. Then it's
00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:11.419
done in this very elaborate, almost one -er,
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.399
which is really interesting and cool. She has
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.899
this whole dance sequence on this car. We go
00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:21.110
from that to this guy chasing her. She stabs
00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:23.450
him in the ear, kills him. Yes. Right? With,
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:26.389
like, chopstick hairpin things. Like a sewing
00:15:26.389 --> 00:15:29.490
needle. Sewing needle. Knitting needle. I was
00:15:29.490 --> 00:15:33.110
having, like, an out -of -body experience. So
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:37.570
was he. Yeah. I mean, just, like, so far up into
00:15:37.570 --> 00:15:39.809
this. This is 10 minutes into the movie, and
00:15:39.809 --> 00:15:41.330
I'm like, oh, my God. And you don't even know
00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:46.049
the next scene's coming. And then, so she's like,
00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:48.350
okay, I gotta wash myself off. She goes back
00:15:48.350 --> 00:15:50.700
into, like, her sort of... dressing area and
00:15:50.700 --> 00:15:52.679
the reason that she washes herself off is because
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:55.259
when she murders this guy he's like convulsing
00:15:55.259 --> 00:16:00.870
and like showing yeah yeah yeah and then uh I
00:16:00.870 --> 00:16:04.049
guess the best way to describe this is... On
00:16:04.049 --> 00:16:06.049
radio. This is going to be tough. There's a calling
00:16:06.049 --> 00:16:09.830
of sorts, we'll say. A loud noise from the other
00:16:09.830 --> 00:16:13.450
room. A bang. And she's curious. Of course, she
00:16:13.450 --> 00:16:16.909
was in the shower, so she has... She's yet to
00:16:16.909 --> 00:16:21.309
re -dress. Clothed herself. Yes. And then has
00:16:21.309 --> 00:16:25.929
relations with a car. A Cadillac, to be specific.
00:16:27.049 --> 00:16:32.039
And... A fire print Cadillac. That is like the
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:38.059
first 15, 10, 15 minutes. And we're off. That's
00:16:38.059 --> 00:16:42.899
it. You're locked in now. Locked in. So that's
00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:45.460
how the movie kicks off. But I'll bring that
00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:49.559
sort of sequence up as sort of one. I think that
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:51.080
counts as one scene. Because it all takes place.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.740
Besides the car crash at the beginning. Technically
00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.659
it's not. I would almost say the dance at the
00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:58.940
very beginning scene is its own thing. And then
00:16:58.940 --> 00:17:01.779
maybe the stabbing into the car is the difference.
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.059
Yeah, I agree. But I think it's fair to group
00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:07.829
them. I just grouped that little moment. It's
00:17:07.829 --> 00:17:09.869
like the inciting incident. And it's all in the
00:17:09.869 --> 00:17:12.369
same setting, like technically relatively. So
00:17:12.369 --> 00:17:16.950
Maddy, do you want to follow that up? I guess
00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:19.029
the question is, are we kind of going in order?
00:17:19.329 --> 00:17:21.049
I think you can do whatever you want. Do what
00:17:21.049 --> 00:17:22.769
you want. That's why I said it depends. It's
00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:24.910
my birthday. I say you get to do what you want.
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:27.130
Elijah says I get to do what I want. That's why
00:17:27.130 --> 00:17:29.049
I started off with, it depends on how you wrote
00:17:29.049 --> 00:17:31.609
them down. So you can just, that's just how I
00:17:31.609 --> 00:17:33.769
wrote it down. The way I did it was my favorite
00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:35.799
scene. the one that I picked but I also wanted
00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:37.839
to mention you already brought up one but there's
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.299
a lot of dance sequences in this movie and each
00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:43.420
of them shows so much of the inner thoughts of
00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:45.420
the character at that point of time and how that
00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:48.279
changes and so one of mine is one of the dance
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:49.660
sequences but it might not be the one you're
00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.940
all thinking of I call it the pink party scene
00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:54.920
yeah that's how I wrote it down yeah that's how
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:58.619
I wrote it down too um but it's I guess if I
00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:00.220
don't know how much we're getting into the character
00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:03.180
differences here. Purple dance scene. Yeah, yeah.
00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:07.319
In my notes. But it's, how much of this do I
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.200
explain, I guess? They're having a party as a
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.779
bunch of firefighters because she ends up being
00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:17.579
at a firehouse. Let's just say that. Oh no, no,
00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:18.980
this is a different time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And
00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:22.819
it's a scene where, I guess, how much do I explain
00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:25.019
in the movie so far to get where we're at? I
00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:26.980
mean, can you explain it without... Because we'll
00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:30.079
get to there at that point, but it is the scene
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.279
where... She's with her new father. Her new dad,
00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:37.180
yeah. And he's a fire chief. Yes. And she's trying
00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:40.519
to fit in at the firehouse. Yes. I think it's
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.039
awesome that all the firefighters are smoking
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.319
indoors. Oh, yeah. It's France. Yeah, it's France.
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.160
It's France. Yeah, and then they're kind of...
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.220
blowing off some steam yeah that's where we're
00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:53.700
at yeah so the part that i like about this scene
00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:55.619
so much is this was the turning point in the
00:18:55.619 --> 00:18:58.900
movie for me when i was like oh my god this is
00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:02.460
like sweet there's like a niceness underneath
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.240
this sentimentality yeah there's like a gentleness
00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:08.240
to this scene especially because the dad is like
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.309
trying to protect her in this scene because the
00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:14.369
other firefighters are like what's wrong yeah
00:19:14.369 --> 00:19:16.970
and they just dance together and it's like the
00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:18.970
one moment where they're both truly happy in
00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:21.369
the movie and it's just beautifully shot there's
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:23.150
a lot of slow slow -mo at the beginning when
00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:24.849
they're dancing together and it's just one of
00:19:24.849 --> 00:19:27.069
those scenes where I was like is this the same
00:19:27.069 --> 00:19:28.670
movie that we were just explaining what happens
00:19:28.670 --> 00:19:30.650
in the first act because this was really the
00:19:30.650 --> 00:19:32.809
turning point for me in the movie where I'm like
00:19:32.809 --> 00:19:35.329
this is there's something more going on here
00:19:35.329 --> 00:19:37.970
than you might have just guessed based off a
00:19:37.970 --> 00:19:40.339
log line or just based off the opening of the
00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:43.180
movie. Yeah. It is a great like sentimental and
00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.599
it shows like it shows the evolution of that
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.319
character too because you can kind of see as
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.819
you said each dance sequence kind of shows something
00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:53.160
new about them and this is really a we won't
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:56.059
get too too into it but this is a very like opening
00:19:56.059 --> 00:19:59.099
of this character you know it's a it reveals
00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:01.619
a little bit more like it's a little bit more
00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:04.359
vulnerable for this character to be than previously
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:06.940
seen in this movie. Yes. Yeah. It's a really
00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:10.880
good one. My scene that I chose, I keep calling
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.440
it this even though I know it's not this. I call
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.019
it the home invasion scene. It is not a home
00:20:16.019 --> 00:20:17.980
invasion. She's willingly let into this house.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.920
But it plays out almost like a home invasion.
00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.819
Yeah. Where our character, this is towards, this
00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:26.230
is maybe. Five or ten minutes after the – Like
00:20:26.230 --> 00:20:28.170
five minutes after the – This is in the first
00:20:28.170 --> 00:20:30.250
half hour kind of deal. Yes. It's in the first
00:20:30.250 --> 00:20:33.450
act. And she goes home with someone that she
00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:36.690
works with and that she is, I guess, kind of
00:20:36.690 --> 00:20:39.589
seeing at the time. It's getting there. It's
00:20:39.589 --> 00:20:44.529
just trying to hook up. And the way that she
00:20:44.529 --> 00:20:46.930
takes out the gentleman who was chasing her earlier,
00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:50.470
that's how she takes this person out and then
00:20:50.470 --> 00:20:52.410
realizes there are more people in this house.
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:55.359
And has to take them out. And then realizes there
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.839
are more people in the house. And it is brutal.
00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:02.599
But it's just as funny as it is brutal. That's
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.059
the thing. I think this scene is like I was laughing
00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:07.920
out loud. And the music is so good. So good in
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.460
this. There's a great comedic bit. I want to
00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:13.359
just say I wrote the same scene. But I called
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.559
it. House murder chaos. House murder chaos. Because
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.099
I'm like, I don't know how to describe this scene
00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:22.059
any other way. Yeah. But there's a beat where
00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:24.980
she thinks she's killed. Well, she has killed
00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:27.099
two of them. The one runs upstairs and she turns
00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:29.099
and the other guy is standing there. Waiting
00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:31.539
to use the bathroom. The music cuts out. And
00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:33.819
he's such a sweet guy. He's so nice. She's just
00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:37.700
like, how many are you? He hugs her. She's like,
00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:41.380
I'm just so beat. So tired. Here's a question
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:45.319
for you. Why? Does she kill that person? I wrote
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:47.460
a note about that because I do think it is like...
00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:49.900
I thought you might. Yeah, yeah. Like a lot of
00:21:49.900 --> 00:21:53.039
this movie is about how vulnerable do you get
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:56.079
with other people and also like how you might
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:58.480
feel like an other around other people. Like
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.660
you might not feel as human or somebody seeing
00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:03.880
you in a light that makes you feel like you're
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:05.819
not... You're not fully connecting with other
00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:07.099
people. And I think that's a big part of this
00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:09.440
movie. She's got metal in her head. She feels
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.819
like she is like a different entity in a sense.
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.319
And we can't forget about what just happened
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.119
to her. Yes. Right. Which is like a big, a big
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:20.059
piece of that puzzle of not feeling abnormal
00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:23.660
and not feeling like, you know, this person wants
00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:26.160
to like connect with me on a sexual level. Yeah.
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.039
But she has like the same reaction, which this
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.160
is. I think one of the many brilliant parts about
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.079
this movie, especially talking about which I
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.480
think is one of the big themes of this movie
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.779
is masculinity and femininity. And the same reaction
00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:45.319
that she had to that creepy guy that was following
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.819
her is the same reaction that she has to this
00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:51.329
girl because not that she. maybe has the same
00:22:51.329 --> 00:22:54.069
hatred. It was for a slightly different reason,
00:22:54.190 --> 00:22:57.289
but it was to protect, I think, to protect herself.
00:22:57.630 --> 00:22:59.750
Yeah. Because she didn't, because if she goes
00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:01.130
through with the act, that person's going to
00:23:01.130 --> 00:23:03.329
find out what's wrong with her. Yeah. Can't have
00:23:03.329 --> 00:23:05.470
anyone get too close. Right. I also find it,
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:10.390
like, throughout the film, she seems more interested
00:23:10.390 --> 00:23:13.769
in the inanimate than real people. Yeah, of course.
00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:18.910
And I think any time a person even gets remotely
00:23:18.910 --> 00:23:22.019
close, it becomes this thing where it's almost
00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:24.019
like a reversal where she sees them as objects
00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:27.559
or like things to be discarded and she has to.
00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:30.980
It doesn't matter if, you know, that lovely gentleman
00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:32.960
waiting for the bathroom is the nicest person
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.630
ever. No. He's just another item. that's in her
00:23:36.630 --> 00:23:38.589
way that she needs to get out of there. And there's
00:23:38.589 --> 00:23:40.910
really only one character that breaks through
00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:44.690
that. Yeah, and that scene when you are not sure
00:23:44.690 --> 00:23:46.470
if he's going to break through or not is also
00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:48.289
another poignant scene that we could also be
00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:51.710
talking about for a rewatchable. Oh, my turn.
00:23:53.930 --> 00:23:56.490
You got invested. Yeah, I know. It went through
00:23:56.490 --> 00:24:00.349
all of them, but I still have two more. I'm going
00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:05.460
to say when they're at... When she is at the
00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:08.640
captain's house and they're having dinner and
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.700
he's trying to connect to her in some way. And
00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:18.519
his idea is to basically fight her. But what
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.519
it starts with is another dance scene. And the
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:28.140
song choice is fantastic. She's not there, which
00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:31.740
is a perfect song choice. And it's the energy
00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:37.329
of this scene. She's very good at creating this
00:24:37.329 --> 00:24:40.849
controlled chaos in this movie, and I think this
00:24:40.849 --> 00:24:43.369
scene is a perfect example of that, where you
00:24:43.369 --> 00:24:49.289
get all of the emotions changing, building, but
00:24:49.289 --> 00:24:53.829
it still feels like all the steps for getting
00:24:53.829 --> 00:24:56.250
to know these characters comes through. But it's
00:24:56.250 --> 00:25:01.710
a wildly chaotic melee in the kitchen. I also
00:25:01.710 --> 00:25:04.339
think it's... This is totally unrelated to that.
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.059
I always think it's funny when it cuts back and
00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:08.700
there's just the full plates of spaghetti. They're
00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:12.940
always shoveling it in. One question I had, and
00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:16.200
this is something I noticed this time around,
00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:22.519
is there's this shot of the dad when he sees
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.980
her for the first time, and Julia kind of just
00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:28.539
hangs on the shot, like almost for too long.
00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.539
when the dad is just kind of staring at the kid,
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.599
which made me think of almost the movie, not
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:39.559
in a different way, but from like from a story
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.299
standpoint that, OK, there's two different perspectives
00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:49.019
in the sense of there's Alexia. She's trying
00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:54.650
to hide who she is. Right. And blend in. so that
00:25:54.650 --> 00:25:56.769
she doesn't get caught. That's a practical reason
00:25:56.769 --> 00:25:58.690
what she's doing, right? Of course, there's the
00:25:58.690 --> 00:26:01.549
added thing that she's pregnant, so that is a
00:26:01.549 --> 00:26:04.170
whole thing that she's trying to deal with at
00:26:04.170 --> 00:26:07.930
the same time. So that's what she's trying to
00:26:07.930 --> 00:26:12.289
do. From her perspective, she's trying to hide
00:26:12.289 --> 00:26:16.710
all of that stuff, right? I honestly think after
00:26:16.710 --> 00:26:19.910
this rewatch that... The dad was never really
00:26:19.910 --> 00:26:22.910
sold on her. Oh, he knows. Oh, no. Right. And
00:26:22.910 --> 00:26:27.809
it's more about him just like when he saw her
00:26:27.809 --> 00:26:31.880
for the first time. he made that decision in
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:33.640
that moment that it didn't matter. Absolutely.
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.160
Right? He just needed somebody. So therefore,
00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:41.220
that then spins the whole reveal thing that from
00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:43.720
an audience standpoint, it's not really revealing
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.059
to the audience. Like, oh, he's figured it out.
00:26:46.099 --> 00:26:48.619
Or when the mom figures it out, all of this stuff,
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:51.519
it's really about, again, from Alexi's standpoint,
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.440
now I'm revealing myself to the character rather
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:58.319
than a twist or like, oh, the dad didn't know.
00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:00.529
It's like, The dad knew the whole time. He has
00:27:00.529 --> 00:27:02.890
to face it and accept it. Accept it, yes. Because
00:27:02.890 --> 00:27:06.970
he's well aware the moment he sees her, but he's
00:27:06.970 --> 00:27:09.390
created this thing in his brain that at least
00:27:09.390 --> 00:27:13.210
the possibility is there. I don't think he's
00:27:13.210 --> 00:27:15.490
created anything. I think it was a conscious
00:27:15.490 --> 00:27:17.750
decision that it did not matter to him. But do
00:27:17.750 --> 00:27:20.730
you think there's also a sense? Do you think
00:27:20.730 --> 00:27:22.829
there's also a sense maybe that he's also coming
00:27:22.829 --> 00:27:24.990
to terms with like, he knows it's not his kid
00:27:24.990 --> 00:27:27.470
and... now he's kind of thought that like well
00:27:27.470 --> 00:27:29.950
now maybe i have to lose my kid at this point
00:27:29.950 --> 00:27:31.750
like my kid will never come back yeah like oh
00:27:31.750 --> 00:27:34.450
yeah so like he's like that's that's also coming
00:27:34.450 --> 00:27:37.970
killing like the the actual son or the memory
00:27:37.970 --> 00:27:40.390
by doing this correct yeah it's a way to get
00:27:40.390 --> 00:27:43.250
over it's a way to and and then he has what he
00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:45.940
That's what's great about – so many things great
00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:48.440
about this movie. But the characters do get kind
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.839
of what they want. Weirdly. Absolutely, yeah.
00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:55.160
But they don't know yet. Until the end because
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.799
what does he receive at the end? A brand new
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.299
son, right? Or daughter. Child. A new child to
00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:04.319
take care of. That's all he really wanted was
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:07.480
to be able to take care of his kid, right? So
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.059
many great scenes. Anyways, I just want to ask
00:28:09.059 --> 00:28:10.740
and see if you guys were on the same page. Yeah.
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.940
I definitely didn't. really catch how long that
00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:17.900
shot was until this rewatch. Which is another
00:28:17.900 --> 00:28:19.920
great scene. Because it feels like there should
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.740
be another cut back and forth, but it lasts as
00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:25.140
long as two shots. It just kind of stays there.
00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:27.180
Now before we get into any other categories,
00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:29.200
I do want to cut to a quick commercial break,
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.099
and then when we get back, we will continue with
00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:34.940
our rewatchables of this phenomenal movie, T
00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:36.299
-Tang. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.220
Outside the Frame, London's only movie talk show.
00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:45.750
We'll be right back. 94 .9 Radio Western. You're
00:28:45.750 --> 00:28:47.450
still tuned in to Outside the Frame, London's
00:28:47.450 --> 00:28:49.349
only movie talk show. We are in the midst of
00:28:49.349 --> 00:28:53.269
our Rewatchables episode of the 2021 film T10.
00:28:53.349 --> 00:28:55.230
We just finished with our most Rewatchables scene
00:28:55.230 --> 00:28:58.609
category. What do we have up next? We have best
00:28:58.609 --> 00:29:01.349
double feature choice. There's an obvious choice
00:29:01.349 --> 00:29:02.769
here. There is an obvious choice. There is an
00:29:02.769 --> 00:29:04.509
obvious choice, but I think there's actually,
00:29:04.589 --> 00:29:06.690
the more I thought about it, because I think
00:29:06.690 --> 00:29:08.230
what we're all thinking is Crash. Crash, yeah.
00:29:08.609 --> 00:29:10.029
Cronenberg's Crash, yes. Right. Not Maddy's
00:29:10.029 --> 00:29:14.710
favorite. Boo! The more I thought about it, because
00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:16.990
I knew no one here would take that just because
00:29:16.990 --> 00:29:19.450
of how obvious it was. Yeah. The more I thought
00:29:19.450 --> 00:29:22.549
about it, the more other films revealed themselves
00:29:22.549 --> 00:29:26.289
to me. So, yeah, I'm really interested in what
00:29:26.289 --> 00:29:28.170
you guys picked. Maybe let's start with Dalton.
00:29:28.190 --> 00:29:30.450
Let's not start with Dalton. Uh -oh. Uh -oh.
00:29:30.450 --> 00:29:32.130
He's thinking on it. He was going to say Crash.
00:29:32.569 --> 00:29:35.150
Well, here's what happened. Oh, I mean, you could
00:29:35.150 --> 00:29:37.470
say Crash. It's a good choice. I just assumed
00:29:37.470 --> 00:29:39.289
no one would take it because it was too obvious.
00:29:39.930 --> 00:29:42.309
So many where I was like, I was thinking about
00:29:42.309 --> 00:29:44.910
father daughter relationship. Sure. I was thinking
00:29:44.910 --> 00:29:47.589
about, you know, any familiar relation. I was
00:29:47.589 --> 00:29:50.470
thinking all of these things. And I went every
00:29:50.470 --> 00:29:53.430
time I was like, the right answer is crash. Yeah.
00:29:53.470 --> 00:29:57.369
Yeah. And I, I literally wrote in my note that
00:29:57.369 --> 00:30:02.029
it could only be. I mean, I'll, I'll make a good
00:30:02.029 --> 00:30:04.089
case. I think for, for what I chose, the thing
00:30:04.089 --> 00:30:07.210
was I, for this one. I remember there was a few
00:30:07.210 --> 00:30:09.609
that I... I'm not going, and now he's going.
00:30:09.990 --> 00:30:14.190
Well, I said I will. Because I was like, don't
00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:16.009
lead it off, and I'm just like, it's Crash. I
00:30:16.009 --> 00:30:19.430
had a bunch of different ideas, and they never
00:30:19.430 --> 00:30:21.630
felt right. I don't think I could watch that
00:30:21.630 --> 00:30:23.990
movie and that movie back to back. I was like,
00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:28.730
Crash, I think, is the one. And I was more curious
00:30:28.730 --> 00:30:31.089
to see, because I thought the same thing, where
00:30:31.089 --> 00:30:33.250
I was like, I'll take it, because I bet you...
00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:35.319
These guys are not going to take it, and they're
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:37.259
going to come up, and I'm more curious to hear
00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:40.079
what you guys came up with, because I struggled
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.359
to do this one. Okay. Very interesting. I want
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:44.019
to hear Mike's, because I want to make sure it's
00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:47.119
not mine, so you can go first. If I was to have,
00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.259
this was almost my choice, so if I was to have
00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:51.539
a runner -up, it'd be cruising, for a bunch of
00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:53.059
different reasons. That's interesting. Number
00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:57.059
one, phenomenal character dance sequence in cruising,
00:30:57.259 --> 00:31:00.869
which is... One of the best scenes in the 1980s
00:31:00.869 --> 00:31:05.069
and is, I mean, Maddy explained it great when
00:31:05.069 --> 00:31:07.890
you highlighted that dance sequence. Well, Cruising
00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:11.990
has one of those too. And also it's about identity,
00:31:12.190 --> 00:31:15.609
hiding yourself. It has a lot of similar themes
00:31:15.609 --> 00:31:18.049
in that way. So that would be like my runner
00:31:18.049 --> 00:31:21.130
up. And then I went back and forth between two
00:31:21.130 --> 00:31:25.240
Gasparino movies for various reasons. The first
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.359
obvious one would be his debut film called I
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.000
Stand Alone, which I was like, okay, you got
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.039
the father -daughter stuff, twisted story, blah,
00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:34.039
blah, blah. But it doesn't have the same vibe
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.220
to me, right? So maybe we pick the same one.
00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:39.900
I can guess, but no, we keep going. So the film
00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:43.880
that I landed on was Climax. Climax, yeah. And
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:46.980
there's a couple of different reasons for that.
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.559
Did those not come out in the same year? No,
00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:53.700
Climax was... Oh, was that 2019? 2018? I don't
00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:56.880
actually know. Hold on. I got IMDb on me. I thought
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.140
it was early. Great radio here, guys. 2018, you're,
00:31:59.140 --> 00:32:02.240
yeah. 2018. Okay, jeez. I thought it was in the
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.480
20s. So, again, this is more like, I mean, again,
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.519
dance being a super big part of that movie. The
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:14.859
opening of the car dance scene reminded me of,
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.500
I mean, it's much shorter, but the climax wonder
00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:21.000
is like almost the whole movie. So, but it was
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.940
just more like the frantic nature of, of the
00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:26.119
film and the vibe of the film. So oddly similar
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:29.279
tones at parts, like, yeah, like not over the
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.000
hole, but like, yes, it hits the same sort of
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:34.000
beat again. I hate using the word vibe, but it
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.640
has a similar vibe, different themes, different,
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.759
but. you know, both French, both, and it gets
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:42.160
a little twisted and it's pretty twisted. So
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.740
I think there's a lot like when I see to Tain,
00:32:44.779 --> 00:32:47.680
if I was, if I was programming and I saw to Tain
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:50.880
and, and climax together, I'd be like, Hey, those,
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.299
those, that makes sense. So that's what I ended
00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:56.660
up landing on. Well, I hit on anything that,
00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:58.759
well, it's already been brought up today because
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.680
it was raw. That's what I was going to feature
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.359
with. Obviously. Like, Julia Ducarno did an interview
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:07.220
that was on the Blu -ray that I watched last
00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:09.819
night and she was saying how her work, it builds
00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:12.279
on itself. So she was saying like, I start from
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.460
somewhere and I have an idea and then it goes
00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:16.480
from there. So she was talking about after making
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:18.200
Roth, she really wanted to make a story about
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.779
love. And that's what happened when she made
00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:23.299
Titane. That was the through line with her. But
00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:24.720
I think watching them back to back, there are
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.220
parts of it that you can see like a lot about
00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:30.180
womanhood and a lot about like deep primal urges
00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:33.420
and like human bodies. like flesh and finding
00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:35.960
yourself yeah that's the there's always like
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:38.539
a level of emotionality to her work underneath
00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:41.799
what some people might see as more like bombastic
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:43.980
i guess in terms of like body horror things like
00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:46.599
that but there is a level of humanity that resides
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:48.819
underneath it all and it makes you care about
00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:51.599
the characters so one of one of that's very well
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.579
said one of the main reasons i would say top
00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:57.319
two reasons why personally i love this film so
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.960
much is because i think it's one of the best
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:06.619
examples of someone who's not male having like
00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:10.760
an just an unbelievable objective observation
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.659
of what it is what masculine masculinity is could
00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:22.489
be is in certain family dynamics. It's so poignant.
00:34:22.769 --> 00:34:25.969
And maybe I'm reading it wrong. I don't know.
00:34:26.030 --> 00:34:28.849
But what I take from it is that dad character,
00:34:28.969 --> 00:34:33.670
there's so many things with him that is... She's
00:34:33.670 --> 00:34:39.650
doing stuff in this movie that 90 % of male directors
00:34:39.650 --> 00:34:42.750
would only hope and wish they could do. And sometimes
00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:46.840
it takes an objective... somewhat objective like
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:50.059
observer to like observe those kind of things
00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:52.199
and be able but that's the genius of her and
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.219
this movie is being able to like succinct that
00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:57.800
down into a story and a character and that's
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.159
really hard to do I think that's that's one of
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.599
my my favorite parts of this movie is her portrayal
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:09.179
of the dad because he's like he has to run this
00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:12.500
you know firehouse with they're all like 20 year
00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:15.570
old Buff men, you know, like, in their prime.
00:35:15.889 --> 00:35:21.690
He is beyond broken. He is God to them, by the
00:35:21.690 --> 00:35:25.349
way. Yeah, but he's trapped in this failing body.
00:35:25.849 --> 00:35:29.349
His family has fallen apart. Everything that,
00:35:29.389 --> 00:35:32.630
in his mind, a man is supposed to be, he's failing
00:35:32.630 --> 00:35:35.989
at. So, you know, he's using steroids to keep
00:35:35.989 --> 00:35:37.730
himself going. Which is also, like, there's another
00:35:37.730 --> 00:35:41.619
argument because there's a, I think... It's not
00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:44.300
that far -fetched to read this as a transgender
00:35:44.300 --> 00:35:46.880
allegory, right? Totally could read it that way.
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.440
Steroids are basically just testosterone. He's
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:56.840
taking T -shots. It's probably HGH or something
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.119
and all that stuff, yeah. I think there's so
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:03.639
many levels on which that character works that
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:07.150
I... that's one of the elements I'm most drawn
00:36:07.150 --> 00:36:09.250
to. Well, it's interesting too, because both
00:36:09.250 --> 00:36:11.510
the characters that are almost like, so the beginning,
00:36:11.590 --> 00:36:14.769
Alexi is like almost what is a traditional female
00:36:14.769 --> 00:36:17.170
or how you would objectify traditional female.
00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:20.250
on the outside, the dad has all the traits of
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:23.969
a, but they also both share opposite traits too.
00:36:24.030 --> 00:36:26.050
Like she has male traits, literally becoming
00:36:26.050 --> 00:36:29.690
a male and has all these male traits. While at
00:36:29.690 --> 00:36:31.469
the same time is pregnant. While at the same
00:36:31.469 --> 00:36:34.650
time is pregnant. And the dad all of a sudden
00:36:34.650 --> 00:36:37.530
has these other traits that would be more quote
00:36:37.530 --> 00:36:40.050
unquote traditionally female. So it's, again,
00:36:40.210 --> 00:36:41.829
it's so brilliant. There's a reason why that
00:36:41.829 --> 00:36:43.710
scene is shot in pink and purple and all that
00:36:43.710 --> 00:36:45.010
stuff. There's so much in the stage direction
00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:46.849
on that. It's unbelievable. But this is why,
00:36:47.190 --> 00:36:49.730
this movie is like to unpack this movie there's
00:36:49.730 --> 00:36:52.230
a lot there's a lot to unpack but Ra's a great
00:36:52.230 --> 00:36:55.269
choice and my backup was Eraserhead but sure
00:36:55.269 --> 00:36:59.309
Eraserhead yeah well weird baby yeah or just
00:36:59.309 --> 00:37:02.010
like the fears of parenthood yeah that makes
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:06.769
sense I chose a movie from Pedro Almodovar called
00:37:06.769 --> 00:37:10.489
The Skin I Live In. It's a good movie. Yeah,
00:37:10.550 --> 00:37:12.670
I really like it. And it kind of deals... Banderas,
00:37:12.670 --> 00:37:15.329
is that? That is correct, yes. And he plays a
00:37:15.329 --> 00:37:18.949
plastic surgeon who has made this synthetic type
00:37:18.949 --> 00:37:23.869
of skin. And his guinea pig is a mysterious woman
00:37:23.869 --> 00:37:26.150
who you find out more about as the movie goes
00:37:26.150 --> 00:37:29.849
on. This movie is not... entirely in the same
00:37:29.849 --> 00:37:35.650
French extremity type genre. But it kind of borders
00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:38.750
on it. There's a lot of similar... It's a mix
00:37:38.750 --> 00:37:42.530
of crazy stuff, but also like... oddly tender
00:37:42.530 --> 00:37:45.309
moments and funny moments exactly and I think
00:37:45.309 --> 00:37:47.730
that like the tone is like not as it's not never
00:37:47.730 --> 00:37:51.809
as outlandish or as bonkers as as T -Tain may
00:37:51.809 --> 00:37:53.989
get but it still deals with similar themes of
00:37:53.989 --> 00:37:56.710
womanhood what it means to be a woman and what
00:37:56.710 --> 00:37:59.690
it means to be a man identity and just like how
00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:02.750
the body is treated and how women's bodies are
00:38:02.750 --> 00:38:05.510
used. So I think it's an interesting pairing.
00:38:05.650 --> 00:38:07.989
I don't think it's eye for eye, but I think it's
00:38:07.989 --> 00:38:10.829
an interesting back -to -back to have. This would
00:38:10.829 --> 00:38:13.789
be a good starting point, and then you lead into
00:38:13.789 --> 00:38:18.110
something like T -Tank. So The Skin I Live In
00:38:18.110 --> 00:38:21.719
is a really interesting movie. really interesting
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.019
pivot for both that director and Antonio Banderas
00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:27.320
as well. Um, so yeah, that would, that was my
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.440
pick. Okay. So we're going to move on. Um, I'm
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.000
good. I'm going to pivot a little bit, um, to
00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:35.159
hopefully give us a little bit of extra time
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.460
before, cause we have to leave right at seven.
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.219
Yeah. Just in case our sequel pitches may take
00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:42.039
a little longer, we're going to go through, uh,
00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:44.599
five, the five and six categories a little quicker.
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.840
Um, so I'll kick it off because mine kind of
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:50.650
goes one and two like together. Okay. My, hottest
00:38:50.650 --> 00:38:54.010
take is that this i mean it's not that hot to
00:38:54.010 --> 00:38:56.809
take but some people might think it is uh this
00:38:56.809 --> 00:38:59.150
film should have been nominated for best picture
00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:02.750
best writing best director best makeup and best
00:39:02.750 --> 00:39:06.889
hair um so that's five noms uh i guess the hottest
00:39:06.889 --> 00:39:08.769
take is that this should have taken the place
00:39:08.769 --> 00:39:13.759
of uh promising young woman which can only can
00:39:13.759 --> 00:39:17.380
only wish that the movie did what Tatane did.
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:19.380
Can I read out the, the, the, the winner and
00:39:19.380 --> 00:39:22.119
winners and nominees of the, uh, of the best
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.159
picture for 2021. So this would be the 2022.
00:39:25.780 --> 00:39:28.099
Uh, so that would be, uh, I'll go in reverse
00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:29.679
order though. They have it here. West side story.
00:39:30.489 --> 00:39:32.550
The Power of the Dog. This is best picture, right?
00:39:32.570 --> 00:39:34.650
This is best picture. Nightmare Alley, Licorice
00:39:34.650 --> 00:39:38.769
Pizza, King Richard, Dune, Drive My Car, Don't
00:39:38.769 --> 00:39:42.429
Look Up, Belfast, and the winner, Coda. Yeah,
00:39:42.429 --> 00:39:44.730
you can knock some of those out. A couple of
00:39:44.730 --> 00:39:48.670
those can go. Definitely to put in this movie.
00:39:48.829 --> 00:39:50.309
At least, I'm not saying it should have won.
00:39:50.969 --> 00:39:53.409
I'm just saying. It wasn't even put forward by
00:39:53.409 --> 00:39:57.510
France. It's insane. Oh no, it was France's submission.
00:39:57.650 --> 00:40:00.750
No, it wasn't. Yeah, it was a different one,
00:40:00.829 --> 00:40:02.590
which was, I remember the controversy because
00:40:02.590 --> 00:40:04.309
it won the Palme d 'Or and then they didn't.
00:40:04.309 --> 00:40:07.980
Because she spoke out at the... At the French,
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:11.280
what is it, the César? I think it's what they're
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:15.079
called. Yeah, because Rowan Polanski won an award,
00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:17.820
and she went out and said a whole lot of stuff.
00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:22.460
Oh, she's opinionated about that? Shocker. I
00:40:22.460 --> 00:40:24.679
think she also said some stuff about Macron and
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.380
stuff, and they just decided they're not pushing
00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:30.199
her movie. Which is terrible because it definitely
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:34.239
deserves a bunch of nominations. So then I'm
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.420
just going to roll that. quote -unquote hottest
00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:38.199
take. Like I said, the hotter take, I guess,
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:39.679
is that I think it should have taken the place
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:41.719
of Promising Young Woman and all the other categories
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.880
that it was nominated in. And then it should
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:47.280
have won my one Oscar would be Best Writing.
00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:50.159
I think it's the most realistic in terms of what...
00:40:50.539 --> 00:40:53.079
you know, pre -substance sort of, you know, like
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:56.059
during this, this era, I guess it's like, this
00:40:56.059 --> 00:40:58.820
is the cool movie. They wanted it to be promising
00:40:58.820 --> 00:41:01.079
young woman. That movie's forgettable, not cool.
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:05.099
This movie is cool and should have won best writing
00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:08.739
like hands down. So. That's a good take. So that's
00:41:08.739 --> 00:41:13.739
my last two categories put together. Are we doing
00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:15.599
the prop category also? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:18.059
We'll do that. Okay. So what one do you want
00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:20.019
me to do now? We started with takes. Yeah, let's
00:41:20.019 --> 00:41:21.980
start with takes. Okay, hottest take. Is the
00:41:21.980 --> 00:41:26.599
baby not weird enough? Hot take? I like it. It's
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:28.739
a good take. Hot take? I'm okay with it. Yeah,
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.199
I like the baby. I'm not going to lie. The first
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:35.960
time I saw it in that camp. I was expecting more
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:43.099
car than baby. That's fair. So I'm on your page.
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:49.119
I think it fits thematically because it's inheriting
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.320
the, I'm going to use Mike's favorite word here,
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.320
inheriting the trauma from the mother, right?
00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:57.880
But it's like you don't inherit everything, but
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:01.019
it comes in pieces. And I think it looks like
00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:04.659
it's almost a part of their DNA, right? It's
00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:07.500
the spine and the head. I don't know. I think
00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:09.940
it's very fitting. Also, I'm never one to say
00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:13.199
this. Like I said, I agree with you because that's
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:15.119
the first thought I had when I saw it. However,
00:42:15.420 --> 00:42:18.159
the scene, if it was too weird, it would take
00:42:18.159 --> 00:42:19.920
away from what the scene actually is. Yeah, absolutely.
00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:22.900
Which is such a touching moment. That's why I
00:42:22.900 --> 00:42:24.619
think it rides the line really well. Which is
00:42:24.619 --> 00:42:29.449
also the whole thing in the same vein. Um, what's
00:42:29.449 --> 00:42:32.030
the mechanics of the, of the scene at the beginning?
00:42:32.110 --> 00:42:34.289
Yeah. Yeah. Right. There's a reason, like if
00:42:34.289 --> 00:42:38.099
I, I. 100 % believe that if you ask Julia privately,
00:42:38.300 --> 00:42:39.980
she knows what it is. Yeah, but she won't say.
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.099
But it's not about if she couldn't film it or
00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:44.820
if she didn't think of it, which is the rare
00:42:44.820 --> 00:42:47.760
case of that would be the only thing that you'd
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.800
be thinking about. The actual more important
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.199
thing is that she got pregnant by a car, not
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:54.719
how it happened. Correct. But that took me a
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:56.840
couple, because I'm dumb sometimes, that took
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:59.619
me a while. You don't have to all agree. No,
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:03.760
I am dumb. It does take silence. He's looking
00:43:03.760 --> 00:43:06.619
for support and it's just, Okay. No, I'm saying
00:43:06.619 --> 00:43:08.340
it for a reason. It took me a couple of watches
00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:10.119
to really understand that. Like, cause I'd always
00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:12.599
be like, Oh, I like, like why? Why? Like what's
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:14.260
the mechanics here? How is this working? Well,
00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:16.800
it actually like would ruin the fact that I don't
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.320
need. Yeah, no, I do need it. It would be great
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:21.380
if it was an extra scene. Like if you could watch
00:43:21.380 --> 00:43:24.980
it as a bonus scene, but I think it would ruin
00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:27.780
the, the, again, the fact that. The most important
00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:29.199
thing is that she got pregnant by a car. Yeah.
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.039
That's what's important. Anyways. So I have a
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.380
question for my Oscars. Can I just give it international
00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:35.360
picture win? Go for it. Can that be the Oscar
00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:37.480
that I give it? Yes. Absolutely. Just one Oscar.
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:38.940
Whatever Oscar you want. I didn't know if it
00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:40.099
was one person or just one Oscar. You can give
00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:42.460
it a short film. I don't care. This is your world.
00:43:42.500 --> 00:43:45.199
Cool. Then yes, it wins international for that
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.960
year. Sorry to drive my car, but yeah. Done.
00:43:46.980 --> 00:43:48.519
Yeah. Done. It's better than driving my car.
00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:52.320
My hot take is I actually think winning the Palme
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.400
d 'Or hurt its reputation more than it helped
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:57.900
it. Interesting. I think that the Palme d 'Or,
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:03.519
especially leading up until Tite, was very, very,
00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:06.400
they gave it to very prestigious, quote unquote,
00:44:06.619 --> 00:44:10.099
high art films. Even when movies like Crash,
00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:13.300
like we mentioned, were premiered there, they
00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.360
made up an award, a special grand jury award,
00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:21.119
just to shrug it off. But for this one, they
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.789
gave it that prize. Just from a marketing standpoint,
00:44:24.849 --> 00:44:26.409
when people see that it won the Palme d 'Or.
00:44:26.409 --> 00:44:27.869
It's like elevated too much. They think, oh,
00:44:27.869 --> 00:44:30.389
this is elevated, quote unquote, high art. And
00:44:30.389 --> 00:44:32.250
so they go into it with certain expectations.
00:44:32.329 --> 00:44:34.730
Now, I'm not saying that this is not T -Tang's
00:44:34.730 --> 00:44:36.730
fault. This is not the Palme d 'Or's fault. Because
00:44:36.730 --> 00:44:39.150
they gave it to the right winner. They gave it
00:44:39.150 --> 00:44:42.489
to the right film. I just think that the predecessors
00:44:42.489 --> 00:44:47.369
and the reputation that predecessors have when
00:44:47.369 --> 00:44:49.820
it comes to the Palme d 'Or. may have misled
00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:52.159
a lot of people into looking at this movie. And
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.079
then, of course, they take it out on the movie
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:57.900
itself rather than their expectations. It's a
00:44:57.900 --> 00:44:59.800
good take. Can I add just a little bit to that?
00:44:59.880 --> 00:45:02.010
Sure. Whereas this Winning the Palm... let more
00:45:02.010 --> 00:45:05.429
people see it. Because I don't know if you would
00:45:05.429 --> 00:45:07.230
have heard about this movie otherwise or have
00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:09.050
seen it in theaters otherwise if it didn't win
00:45:09.050 --> 00:45:10.929
the Palm. And it kind of kicked down the door
00:45:10.929 --> 00:45:13.369
for a lot of other international movies and recognition
00:45:13.369 --> 00:45:15.050
because a lot of people were like, well, if you
00:45:15.050 --> 00:45:17.190
win the Palm, why didn't you also get nominated
00:45:17.190 --> 00:45:18.949
anywhere else? I think it also gives a little
00:45:18.949 --> 00:45:21.650
bit more credit, too, as it's not the crazy movie
00:45:21.650 --> 00:45:23.829
where the woman has sex with a car. They're like,
00:45:23.909 --> 00:45:24.889
hey, there's something... That's going to get
00:45:24.889 --> 00:45:27.489
me in the door. Yeah. That's going to get the
00:45:27.489 --> 00:45:30.510
mics in the door. I think it's a... It was...
00:45:30.780 --> 00:45:33.019
important to reward that film for what it actually
00:45:33.019 --> 00:45:35.920
was I mean it is also the movie where she has
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.659
sex with a car you know it's that is what the
00:45:38.659 --> 00:45:41.840
movie is however there's so many layers to this
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.840
movie and it's a really smart it's a really impressive
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:49.820
movie and I think it was important for it to
00:45:49.820 --> 00:45:51.380
get that award but I get what you mean where
00:45:52.030 --> 00:45:54.130
The average viewer going, oh, it's the – and
00:45:54.130 --> 00:45:55.650
then they go and they're like, oh, well, they're
00:45:55.650 --> 00:45:57.050
just giving this award to anything. That's just
00:45:57.050 --> 00:45:59.449
grotesque. Yeah. I get what you mean. Yeah. That's
00:45:59.449 --> 00:46:01.389
another – Good take. It's a good take. It's another
00:46:01.389 --> 00:46:03.110
double feature that could work as the substance.
00:46:03.170 --> 00:46:05.530
Very similar. Of course. Like second feature,
00:46:05.650 --> 00:46:08.369
you know, went off and actually – French. Kind
00:46:08.369 --> 00:46:10.969
of French. Well, yeah. They're all the same.
00:46:11.829 --> 00:46:14.510
French ladies are my favorite, man. But like
00:46:14.510 --> 00:46:18.829
use, you know – Used to tan and jumped off of
00:46:18.829 --> 00:46:21.889
that to then be in a space where it was nominated
00:46:21.889 --> 00:46:23.889
for. Yeah, it definitely changed some things.
00:46:23.929 --> 00:46:25.889
Do you want to do your Oscar too? Sure. Wait,
00:46:25.949 --> 00:46:27.949
before I do that though. Coralie Farge. Yeah.
00:46:28.250 --> 00:46:31.610
Julia Ducarno. Yeah. Claire Denis. Yeah. Who
00:46:31.610 --> 00:46:35.289
are you choosing out of the three? That's really
00:46:35.289 --> 00:46:41.260
tough. Throw in Claire Denis. Weird. It's not
00:46:41.260 --> 00:46:44.780
going to be. I mean, she made. What was that
00:46:44.780 --> 00:46:47.920
movie she made? I'm drawing a blank. No, no.
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.820
I did not like it. Hold on. It was like in the
00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:52.900
90s, like the late 90s. She's made a lot of movies.
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.900
Mostly in the 90s. Not just because we're doing
00:46:56.900 --> 00:46:59.880
the episode. It's probably Julia. Here's the
00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:04.019
thing. I really like Revenge. Also, I have one
00:47:04.019 --> 00:47:08.840
title. first debut. But Revenge is not as good
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:11.320
as Raw. Trouble Every Day. That's the movie I
00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:12.460
was thinking of. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:12.860 --> 00:47:16.239
2001, I think. That was... 2000, 2001? No, I
00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.380
believe that was 99? Yeah, late 90s, maybe 2000.
00:47:19.460 --> 00:47:22.300
No, 2001. Yeah, there you go. Damn. So, yeah,
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:26.960
I'd probably choose Julia just out of if I had
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:30.550
to. Because I do think The Substance is also
00:47:30.550 --> 00:47:34.429
an all -timer, but I like Raw and Titane better.
00:47:34.550 --> 00:47:35.849
I haven't seen Alpha. You haven't seen Alpha
00:47:35.849 --> 00:47:37.750
yet. I'm scared to see it. What about you two?
00:47:37.849 --> 00:47:40.570
Yeah. I pick Julia. No, no. I mean, of the three.
00:47:40.730 --> 00:47:44.510
Oh, it's Julia. It's Julia. Sorry to derail this
00:47:44.510 --> 00:47:47.869
conversation. It's Julia. It's Julia. Claire
00:47:47.869 --> 00:47:50.010
Denis has a longer track record. Sure, sure,
00:47:50.010 --> 00:47:54.349
but it's Julia. If I'm looking to the future,
00:47:54.710 --> 00:47:58.449
then it's Julia. If I'm looking at what exists
00:47:58.449 --> 00:48:01.730
right now, it's Claire Denis. The answer is Julia.
00:48:01.849 --> 00:48:04.710
What's your Oscar pick? My Oscar pick was Best
00:48:04.710 --> 00:48:09.920
Director. Okay. Respectable. My hot take's kind
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.079
of funny. I think the car should have been hotter.
00:48:13.139 --> 00:48:16.440
What do you mean by that? Like more fire? I think
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:20.219
it's a really ugly car. I think that, like, she
00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:21.559
could, you know, it could have been a sports
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:23.360
car. She could have had, you know. It's a muscle
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:25.679
car. It's a muscle Cadillac car. That looks like
00:48:25.679 --> 00:48:27.199
it's dressed like Guy Fieri. It has to be able
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.800
to bounce. It's dressed like Guy Fieri. It's
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.099
got a bounce on it, crazy style, man. But that's
00:48:33.099 --> 00:48:34.860
kind of, yeah, that's funny, though. Yeah, I
00:48:34.860 --> 00:48:37.559
just thought - The car has to be hotter. That
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:39.900
is a hot take. That's the car she wants to sleep
00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:42.139
with? That's the one, you know? It's got to have
00:48:42.139 --> 00:48:44.800
more curves. Yeah, it's like - Would it be hotter
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:46.860
if it - There was a lot of nice cars at that
00:48:46.860 --> 00:48:49.159
place. If it looked like Lightning McQueen? I
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:50.920
would have taken Lightning McQueen, you know?
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:55.199
That's really funny. Just one Oscar? Best original
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:58.400
screenplay. Yeah. That's - Yeah. Yeah. Okay,
00:48:58.460 --> 00:49:00.719
here we go. Wait, your props. Your props. Do
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.079
your props quick. Oh, the car. The needle. Hair
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.519
needle. I got the needle. It's the baby. Obviously,
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:10.539
I want the baby. I don't want a baby. I never
00:49:10.539 --> 00:49:14.440
want a baby. It's not a real baby. I just want
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.780
a car that can do hydraulics. I think that's
00:49:15.780 --> 00:49:18.519
sick. Yeah, I take the weird baby. Yeah. Okay,
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:20.820
so now we're going to, that's perfect. I was
00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:22.980
hoping we'd have, we can spend the last 10 minutes
00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:27.400
pitching our sequel ideas. I'd like to start
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.699
with Elijah. Oh, okay. And hear what Elijah has
00:49:30.699 --> 00:49:33.539
to say. Mine's very quick. Okay. Yeah, I think
00:49:33.539 --> 00:49:35.710
someone, Dalton's cooking on his, but. I think
00:49:35.710 --> 00:49:37.469
mine's also short. Okay, good. Because mine is
00:49:37.469 --> 00:49:40.469
very quick. We can get to everybody else's. Think
00:49:40.469 --> 00:49:46.369
of a mix of the movie Rubber and Finding Nemo.
00:49:48.389 --> 00:49:53.309
So the Cadillac goes on a nationwide journey
00:49:53.309 --> 00:49:57.369
to find his long lost child. That's my movie.
00:49:57.409 --> 00:49:59.369
And it's a road trip movie. And it's a road trip
00:49:59.369 --> 00:50:01.630
movie. It is following an inanimate object that
00:50:01.630 --> 00:50:04.030
is running through and killing people. That's
00:50:04.030 --> 00:50:07.480
why. Rubber. Yeah. No, no. Well, rubber, yes,
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.260
but also. That's what happens in rubber. That's
00:50:09.260 --> 00:50:11.420
what happens in rubber, but also Alexia is, you
00:50:11.420 --> 00:50:13.380
know, that's what the Cadillac and Alexia share
00:50:13.380 --> 00:50:15.039
together is their shared love of killing people.
00:50:15.179 --> 00:50:16.800
So it goes through this nationwide journey of
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.380
killing people while also looking for the long
00:50:19.380 --> 00:50:21.780
lost son. You got a title? I don't have a title.
00:50:21.820 --> 00:50:24.659
Okay. I didn't think to think of a title, but
00:50:24.659 --> 00:50:27.199
mine's, I went a different route with having
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:29.539
it be set further in the future. So Car Baby
00:50:29.539 --> 00:50:33.510
is grown up and it's a he. He's a go -go dancer
00:50:33.510 --> 00:50:37.010
at a club and some shady things are going on,
00:50:37.070 --> 00:50:39.170
kind of like Crimes of the Future is what I was
00:50:39.170 --> 00:50:42.570
feeling. Sounds sick already. Vincent can still
00:50:42.570 --> 00:50:44.170
make a cameo because he can still be alive in
00:50:44.170 --> 00:50:46.750
this, but who I cast in it is this man named
00:50:46.750 --> 00:50:50.289
Louis Garrel, who is very French -looking. You
00:50:50.289 --> 00:50:53.730
might recognize him from Little Women. I think
00:50:53.730 --> 00:50:55.570
just like kind of being like seedy underground
00:50:55.570 --> 00:50:57.730
and he had some, some things that he's working
00:50:57.730 --> 00:51:00.329
through himself. That was kind of the idea that
00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:02.670
I was going with, with it. Okay. Nice. Do you,
00:51:02.690 --> 00:51:04.690
you didn't have a title. I do have a title actually.
00:51:04.769 --> 00:51:08.010
Oh, it is. Uh, I had it one second. I had it
00:51:08.010 --> 00:51:12.409
pulled up. I had a seer because it's steel in
00:51:12.409 --> 00:51:14.010
French. There you go. Oh, there you go. Cause
00:51:14.010 --> 00:51:17.989
it's steel. Yeah. Okay. Nice. Nice. Oh, is it
00:51:17.989 --> 00:51:23.429
me? Okay. So. I was kind of in the same ballpark
00:51:23.429 --> 00:51:27.849
in terms of time period as Maddy. So we're going
00:51:27.849 --> 00:51:30.570
to skip ahead. We could do senior in high school
00:51:30.570 --> 00:51:33.929
slash first year college. So we're following
00:51:33.929 --> 00:51:37.570
Car Baby, who is a dude. That's how I saw him.
00:51:37.849 --> 00:51:46.010
He is a virgin. Trying to figure himself out.
00:51:46.380 --> 00:51:48.420
Others are trying to figure him out. I can tell
00:51:48.420 --> 00:51:52.820
where it's going. And, you know, like, girls
00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:54.280
are all into him because he's all, like, angsty
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:56.539
and weird and has, like, cool stuff on him, you
00:51:56.539 --> 00:51:59.199
know. And then guys are also into him because
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:01.420
he's, you know. Angsty and weird and has cool
00:52:01.420 --> 00:52:04.239
stuff on him. Cool titanium stuff on him. Probably
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:07.880
good at sports because he's reinforced with space
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:09.500
age technology. But it's really about, like,
00:52:09.500 --> 00:52:14.000
he very truly does not fit in. Like, he can't
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:18.119
really get into, you know. So this is all set
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:20.539
up. We get the dad in it like he's part of it.
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.480
This is essentially a coming -of -age story,
00:52:22.619 --> 00:52:26.039
okay? So he's at a party of the, you know, he
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:27.900
gets into a party of, like, one of the coolest
00:52:27.900 --> 00:52:31.320
kids, right? And, you know, goes out to grab
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:33.440
a beer or whatever in the garage, and there's
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:37.639
a car there. So now we're going to mirror what
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:40.619
happened in Titane, and he loses his virginity
00:52:40.619 --> 00:52:43.400
to the car. Now, this is where also we're going
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.679
to mirror Titane in that. instead of the human
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:48.880
being pregnant, it is the car that is pregnant.
00:52:49.739 --> 00:52:54.539
Interesting. It's the car that's pregnant with
00:52:54.539 --> 00:52:58.380
a human baby. So now he has to, like, do we let,
00:52:58.500 --> 00:53:00.500
does someone find out, you know, do they have
00:53:00.500 --> 00:53:02.880
to hide the car that it has a human baby inside
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:05.019
of it? It's just a comedy of errors. Where is
00:53:05.019 --> 00:53:10.880
it gestating? In the trunk. In the trunk. Yeah,
00:53:11.019 --> 00:53:15.739
of course. And then again, mirroring to Tane,
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.059
the last scene of the movie is the car birthing
00:53:18.059 --> 00:53:21.360
this. And then he's now he's now a teen dad with
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:24.019
also a car. Great. Do you have a title? I do.
00:53:24.500 --> 00:53:29.800
So what I did was in sort of the idea of being
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.280
sort of not technically, but kind of opposite
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.940
of titanium is Oz. Osmium? Osmium? Sure. Which
00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:40.380
is the densest naturally occurring element representing
00:53:40.380 --> 00:53:43.260
the polar extreme to titanium's low density profile.
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.840
So you just go with the opposite. It also kind
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.159
of sounds cool. Osmium. Wow. So there you go.
00:53:50.219 --> 00:53:53.119
I like it. So it mirrors it, but it's your coming
00:53:53.119 --> 00:53:55.300
of age. I would like there to be a scene in there
00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:57.079
for when you write the screenplay. I'd really
00:53:57.079 --> 00:53:58.420
like there to be a scene in there where he's
00:53:58.420 --> 00:54:00.219
sneaking around with the cars in shop class.
00:54:01.460 --> 00:54:03.760
Well, see, that to me is in the first act, you
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.440
know, because you have to set up that he has
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:08.139
an attraction, right? But he doesn't know what
00:54:08.139 --> 00:54:09.920
to do with it. So, yeah, of course there had
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:11.639
to be a show. See, I mean, it kind of just writes
00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:15.119
itself. I'd watch it so bad, dude. Yeah. All
00:54:15.119 --> 00:54:17.570
right. That's a to be special. Oh, yeah. There
00:54:17.570 --> 00:54:20.429
was one. I went pretty different. Yeah, let's
00:54:20.429 --> 00:54:23.929
hear it. I want to start with the title. Sure.
00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:27.760
So I pictured... The Americans have purchased
00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:29.340
it, and they're going to franchise it. Oh, no.
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:32.719
Okay. Oh, God. And it's called... The Disney
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:38.920
remake. ...Titan 2 Streets of Steel. Do you need
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.780
to say more? No, he's not. Okay. Also, for some
00:54:43.780 --> 00:54:46.199
reason, because I didn't know the gender of the
00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:51.079
baby, it's gender neutral. Sure. So what I wrote
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:53.980
was... Gender in neutral? Ooh. There you go.
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:58.519
Ooh. The baby. That's a bar. Half man, half machine.
00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.139
Raised by a first responder, has uncovered the
00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:04.380
truth about their mother being a serial killer
00:55:04.380 --> 00:55:06.960
and has devoted their life to the pursuit of
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:09.900
justice. With a spiritual connection to machines
00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:16.800
in a body of hardened titanium, they must track
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:20.400
down a new serial killer. Let's go, dude. I'd
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.679
watch the shit out of that. I just went RoboCop.
00:55:22.699 --> 00:55:25.039
I just went RoboCop. That's fantastic. There's
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:27.019
just so much to work with there. That's awesome,
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.170
dude. Come into contact with the... serial killer,
00:55:29.250 --> 00:55:34.130
and it's also a woman, and now the baby's like...
00:55:34.130 --> 00:55:36.070
The shock of it is... Well, he's not a baby anymore,
00:55:36.289 --> 00:55:38.510
right? No, no. He's a grown -up, but that trauma's
00:55:38.510 --> 00:55:42.050
still so real. Like, can I kill my mother, you
00:55:42.050 --> 00:55:44.789
know? A little trench coat, you know? That's
00:55:44.789 --> 00:55:48.010
a sick movie idea. That's a good idea. The title
00:55:48.010 --> 00:55:49.769
is phenomenal. Did you start with the title and
00:55:49.769 --> 00:55:52.250
work down? Can you say the title again? Titan
00:55:52.250 --> 00:55:56.219
II, Streets of Steel. Did you start with the
00:55:56.219 --> 00:55:58.360
title and work your way up? No. No, okay. I came
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:02.380
out of it. Yeah, I... Initially, I pictured,
00:56:02.420 --> 00:56:05.840
like, a motorcycle man chasing people through
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:08.980
the streets. Okay. And then... Watch that video.
00:56:09.059 --> 00:56:12.119
I know, I know. And then I was like... I don't
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:13.679
know. That doesn't really work because, like,
00:56:13.699 --> 00:56:16.619
the baby didn't have wheels, you know? That we
00:56:16.619 --> 00:56:18.519
know of. That we know of. We didn't really get
00:56:18.519 --> 00:56:19.840
to see the front. The face could have been. The
00:56:19.840 --> 00:56:21.500
hands could have been. The face could have been
00:56:21.500 --> 00:56:25.019
a wheel, yeah. That would be funny. And then
00:56:25.019 --> 00:56:27.659
I was like, okay, well, what would, like, a half
00:56:27.659 --> 00:56:30.659
human, half machine do? And then I just, that's
00:56:30.659 --> 00:56:33.739
Robocop. Yeah. So I couldn't shake that. But
00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:35.860
I like the seven spin where you're, like, going
00:56:35.860 --> 00:56:37.239
after a serial killer. It's got to be a serial
00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:39.820
killer, yeah. But I also, I'm like. Cool. Raised
00:56:39.820 --> 00:56:42.019
by a first responder, you're going to join either.
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:46.530
Totally. I like it. Look at us being some creatives
00:56:46.530 --> 00:56:48.889
right back here. This isn't as much fun as that
00:56:48.889 --> 00:56:51.389
was to put together and to listen to all of your
00:56:51.389 --> 00:56:54.750
pitches. It's not to demean the awesomeness and
00:56:54.750 --> 00:56:57.489
true depth of - Never make a sequel to this movie.
00:56:57.610 --> 00:57:00.010
Don't do it. Don't make a sequel to this movie.
00:57:00.190 --> 00:57:03.849
We're not demeaning how epic and deep this movie
00:57:03.849 --> 00:57:06.230
is, in my opinion, I think, and all of us can
00:57:06.230 --> 00:57:08.789
agree that this movie has a ton of layers. Yes.
00:57:08.829 --> 00:57:11.349
It is extremely rewatchable because of that fact,
00:57:11.449 --> 00:57:15.559
even if it's somewhat disturbing. And your mileage
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:17.940
will vary as to like, you know, some people will
00:57:17.940 --> 00:57:20.239
be like, Sam will be like, this is the craziest
00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:22.659
thing I've ever seen. Or, you know, it's very
00:57:22.659 --> 00:57:25.079
uncomfortable, disturbing, fair. Some people
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:27.800
will be like, that's not crazy. Okay, fine. But
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.380
there's so many different layers to this movie
00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:33.840
where you can start unpacking like what the intentions
00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:36.840
are and what's shown, what's not shown. I just
00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:38.760
think it's a really - It's just kind of a beautiful
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:42.320
movie. It is. My biggest caveat is if you plan
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:43.920
to watch this movie, you have to watch all of
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:45.699
it. Because I think some people would tap out.
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:47.199
I mean, that's such a great point. And I think
00:57:47.199 --> 00:57:49.639
you have to watch all of it. You can't tap out.
00:57:49.739 --> 00:57:53.820
After the first 20 minutes, just stick with it.
00:57:53.820 --> 00:57:57.000
Pedal to the metal. You've seen it now. I would
00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.980
like to say that my Streets of Steel there was
00:57:59.980 --> 00:58:03.019
mainly just making fun of the idea of making
00:58:03.019 --> 00:58:06.920
sequels to movies like this. It was like, I don't
00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:10.619
want to see that movie. I want to see Robocop,
00:58:10.659 --> 00:58:15.230
yes. Of course. But I don't want to see... But
00:58:15.230 --> 00:58:17.690
if you are to watch it, watch it all in one go.
00:58:17.829 --> 00:58:19.750
And watch it on your birthday to keep with the
00:58:19.750 --> 00:58:24.050
tradition. Whoever's out there who's got a birthday
00:58:24.050 --> 00:58:27.469
coming up soon, throw it on. Throw it on for
00:58:27.469 --> 00:58:29.530
the fam. You know what I mean? The fam will be
00:58:29.530 --> 00:58:32.309
all into it. It is a story about family. It is
00:58:32.309 --> 00:58:36.110
a family movie. A father, you know, trying to...
00:58:36.539 --> 00:58:39.579
come to terms with loss. And sometimes family
00:58:39.579 --> 00:58:43.360
isn't by blood. Finding a new person to love
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:45.500
and take care of. It's a really beautiful story.
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:49.360
It sure is. And on that note, come on out to
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:50.960
Movie Trivia Night tonight. We're going to be
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.880
there in about an hour. And we will see you all
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:56.179
next week. Thank you so much for tuning in to
00:58:56.179 --> 00:58:58.280
another edition of Outside the Frame. My name's

Elijah. I'm Maddy. I'm Mike. I'm Dalton. And
00:59:00.380 --> 00:59:01.820
we'll see you all next week. Take care of yourselves.
00:59:01.960 --> 00:59:02.559
Until then.
