So, 15 00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.430 of course, I had to drag you guys inside so 16 00:01:57.450 --> 00:01:59.590 that you don't get to have fun in it. So, 17 00:02:00.349 --> 00:02:06.150 you're welcome. So, I thought, once again, we're gathered together. 18 00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:08.490 It's been a few weeks. 19 00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:09.250 Dearly beloved. 20 00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:12.189 Dearly beloved. 21 00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:12.750 Let's start some. 22 00:02:12.810 --> 00:02:14.849 I don't know what happened. 23 00:02:14.930 --> 00:02:19.169 I'm sorry. This is not... brought to you by m 24 00:02:19.169 --> 00:02:20.710 & ms but if they'd like to kick in money 25 00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:25.090 feel free but yes we're all together so i thought 26 00:02:25.189 --> 00:02:30.500 let's discuss some things we've seen lately uh i just 27 00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:34.199 watched the um i wanted to see it since i 28 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.780 saw the trailer like last year i know because we 29 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.800 talked about it on the episode at the time and 30 00:02:39.819 --> 00:02:42.620 i was just like all right this actually legitimately looks 31 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.129 good uh bad times at el royale oh I wanted 32 00:02:47.169 --> 00:02:50.250 to see that one. Yeah, has anybody seen it? 33 00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:52.879 I came very close to seeing it. 34 00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:56.969 It is as good as I expected and actually kind 35 00:02:56.990 --> 00:03:01.719 of a little more impressive. Just once I got into it, 36 00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:03.639 the more and more you kind of look at everything 37 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.319 else going on, it's kind of amazing how much effort 38 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.900 they put into this. And then I started thinking because 39 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.520 I watched the little behind the scenes and it's like 40 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.979 bringing up Drew Goddard. And I'm like, why do I, 41 00:03:17.969 --> 00:03:20.729 I know, like, I really know that name. I was like, 42 00:03:20.770 --> 00:03:22.939 isn't he like Buffy related? So if you go back 43 00:03:22.969 --> 00:03:26.180 far enough, he was writing for Buffy. Then the reason 44 00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:27.840 I was like, oh, no wonder I know him. He's 45 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:31.599 the creator of the Daredevil series. So like, obviously he 46 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.879 knows kind of what he's doing as far as like 47 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:41.150 these stories. But yeah, it's sort of film noir in 48 00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:44.370 the best possible way. Like it's a neo-noir kind of thing, 49 00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:48.039 but it's also the If there's a gimmick, like, but 50 00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.349 I mean gimmick even within the story, like it's meant 51 00:03:50.370 --> 00:03:53.090 to be a gimmick. The El Royale is a hotel 52 00:03:53.229 --> 00:03:56.509 and it is literally on, and I mean that by 53 00:03:56.689 --> 00:03:59.550 dividing line running through, it is a hotel on the 54 00:03:59.629 --> 00:04:03.060 border of Nevada and California. And the line runs through 55 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.819 the middle of the lobby. And there's so much so 56 00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:08.340 that like you can drink in one state, but you 57 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.139 can't like over here. You can gamble in this state, 58 00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:13.659 but you can't over here. So like you can wander 59 00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:16.029 back and forth within the lobby and partake in all this. 60 00:04:16.610 --> 00:04:20.019 except like a year or two before they lost their 61 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.939 gambling license. So now we're on like the down and 62 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.040 out years of the El Royale. So the whole thing 63 00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.579 kind of centers around this and almost never leaves this hotel. 64 00:04:29.730 --> 00:04:34.410 And it's pretty amazing. And again, in the trailer, you're 65 00:04:34.470 --> 00:04:38.449 looking at Chris Hemsworth and you're like, damn, he's studly. 66 00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:41.350 And then like you realize like within the context of 67 00:04:41.370 --> 00:04:45.899 the movie, no, there's a reason he's that damn charismatic. Like, yup. 68 00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:52.939 And my initial issue was, as I previously stated, problems 69 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:59.189 with Dakota Johnson. Dakota, there we go. We never fully 70 00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:02.709 discussed after I saw the Suspiria thing, but to me 71 00:05:02.790 --> 00:05:06.870 she was the problem in Suspiria. And she doesn't have 72 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:09.410 enough to do in this to really become an issue. 73 00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:12.069 I mean, all she's asked to do is be kind 74 00:05:12.089 --> 00:05:15.089 of pissy and annoyed at everyone and rude, and she 75 00:05:15.129 --> 00:05:18.259 does all those pretty well. So

again, she, sometimes you 76 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.019 can cast within what a person does. 77 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:20.660 Okay. 78 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.399 And it doesn't hurt the overall project, but everybody else 79 00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:24.279 is like amazing. 80 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.319 It's yeah. 81 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.129 It's surprisingly well put together. The time that they put 82 00:05:30.189 --> 00:05:33.110 into just like color coordinating, like each side of the 83 00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:37.350 hotel has its own color theme. And like, even within 84 00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:40.149 the plot, they have like reasons why, like we don't 85 00:05:40.250 --> 00:05:42.629 use this color or this is like the, like everybody's 86 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.279 costume sort of fits into it. Like, They spent so 87 00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.790 much time on the backstory. That's why I was kind 88 00:05:47.810 --> 00:05:50.350 of like, this Drew Goddard guy, I know I know 89 00:05:50.389 --> 00:05:52.889 him for a reason. And yeah, he put a ridiculous 90 00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:56.769 amount of time into it. So it's got, yeah, it's 91 00:05:56.790 --> 00:05:59.490 got a great soundtrack. Like everything about it is kind 92 00:05:59.529 --> 00:06:02.829 of worth watching. So I was impressed with it. 93 00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.709 Didn't he do Cabin in the Woods too? 94 00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:07.040 Yeah, that was the other, I went back. That was 95 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.180 the only other like feature thing that he'd done, which 96 00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:12.699 I always kind of threw it out that half of 97 00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:16.420 that was sort of, I don't know. I wondered how 98 00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:21.629 much was him directing versus... Because that's Joss too, wasn't it? 99 00:06:21.649 --> 00:06:24.529 So I kind of wondered if that was kind of 100 00:06:24.589 --> 00:06:28.370 co-done by Joss, especially since he hadn't done a feature before, 101 00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:31.550 how much Joss sort of came in and helped run everything. 102 00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:35.980 But I felt more problems with that. I haven't revisited it, 103 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:38.160 so I kind of need to go back and re-watch 104 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:38.980 Cabin in the Woods. 105 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.279 It takes a while to ramp up for me. 106 00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:45.329 And it feels like it's not... trying that hard in 107 00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:48.370 the beginning like it's it's obviously making fun of those 108 00:06:48.430 --> 00:06:50.970 kind of horror movies but it didn't seem like it 109 00:06:51.009 --> 00:06:53.540 was doing it in a super clever way right it 110 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.980 just seemed like it was very blatantly making fun of 111 00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:59.519 dumb horror movies i'm like yeah but again i think 112 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.480 i had set my heights a little higher because i 113 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.860 knew joss was involved so i was like i expect 114 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.779 him to you know write really impressive stuff and this 115 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.199 just seems like again if i didn't know any of 116 00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:12.160 the people involved i might be like that's fine it's 117 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.769 pretty cool As a concept. And by the end, it is. 118 00:07:15.009 --> 00:07:18.629 It's an amazing concept. But, yeah, that first half just 119 00:07:18.790 --> 00:07:24.160 seemed clunky at the time. But, again, I'll revisit. But, yeah, 120 00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:25.759 El Royale is pretty badass. 121 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.060 I kind of got... What was that movie that came 122 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.449 out with, like, John Cusack and, like, all those people 123 00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:36.269 at the motel? 124 00:07:36.410 --> 00:07:37.189 It really, like. 125 00:07:37.209 --> 00:07:39.069 I was kind of thinking that. 126 00:07:39.089 --> 00:07:39.170 Yeah. 127 00:07:39.189 --> 00:07:39.290 Um. 128 00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:41.639 What was that? 129 00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:43.579 Like when I saw the trailer for El Royale, I 130 00:07:43.610 --> 00:07:45.290 was like, okay, this is clearly going to have some 131 00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:48.149 like insane twist or something to it. 132 00:07:48.230 --> 00:07:48.910 I feel like. 133 00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:51.959 The room 413 or whatever. 134 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.819 No but he also is in that I was getting 135 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.259 those vibes too. 136 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.079 Yeah he was in that too yeah John Cusack he 137 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.740 likes hanging out in motels he's. 138 00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:01.720 Like look I'll show up but you gotta get me 139 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.730 a hotel room I'll be mostly in a hotel can 140 00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:05.750 you just write the movie in a. 141 00:08:05.750 --> 00:08:08.110 Hotel yeah once I check in I am not. 142 00:08:07.970 --> 00:08:10.870 Leaving I'm not leaving I'll be lucky to not show 143 00:08:10.910 --> 00:08:14.410 up in PJ's because I am settling into this hotel 144 00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:16.610 trying to figure out what that. 145 00:08:16.550 --> 00:08:18.610 One was and you know I feel like John Cusack 146 00:08:18.670 --> 00:08:20.910 earned that right Yeah, at this point. 147 00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:22.230 He's entertained us all enough. 148 00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:24.829 He's logged in a lot of movies, so I'll give 149 00:08:24.850 --> 00:08:25.290 him that. 150 00:08:26.810 --> 00:08:28.629 I can't remember who else was in it. I just 151 00:08:28.649 --> 00:08:29.529 know Ray Liotta. 152 00:08:30.329 --> 00:08:36.539 Identity? Yes. I remember, again, I remember watching the trailer 153 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.759 for that one thinking it looked like a really cool concept, 154 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.059 and the execution is kind of a
letdown. Again, because 155 00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:48.070 it was right at that era of twist, and it 156 00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:51.549 needed to... according to them, needed a twist to make 157 00:08:51.590 --> 00:08:54.750 it work. Whereas, again, the first half is set up 158 00:08:54.889 --> 00:08:58.009 kind of smart and could have just been about that, 159 00:08:58.129 --> 00:09:01.870 and instead they had to work in a weird twist element. So, yeah, 160 00:09:01.889 --> 00:09:04.590 Amanda Peete, John Hawks, I think I forgot he. 161 00:09:04.529 --> 00:09:05.009 Was in it. 162 00:09:05.990 --> 00:09:11.909 Clea Duvall, all right. Jake Busey, hey, this is... Rebecca DeMornay, 163 00:09:11.950 --> 00:09:13.269 this is, yeah, we got all kinds of people. 164 00:09:13.289 --> 00:09:14.250 It does have everybody. 165 00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:18.259 It does, yeah. So... If they delivered on all of 166 00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:22.210 that promise, you'd have El Royale. El Royale is worth watching. 167 00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:25.269 I was very pleased. I'm glad to hear. 168 00:09:26.110 --> 00:09:27.629 It looked good, but I was like, oh. 169 00:09:28.090 --> 00:09:32.019 Again, visually. Cinematography. They spent so much time on the 170 00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:35.340 visuals making everything look perfect. It's pretty impressive. 171 00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:40.429 Am I next? netflix has some good horror movies they 172 00:09:40.450 --> 00:09:41.309 also have some bad. 173 00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:47.230 Ones we're just adding to our horror club list yeah 174 00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:50.110 this is usually where the suggestions have come so far 175 00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:51.929 as you're just like but i saw this it's on 176 00:09:51.950 --> 00:09:54.809 netflix let's watch it and i'm like okay. 177 00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:59.080 Calm down so i watched Green Room on Netflix. 178 00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:00.700 That's a great movie. 179 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.779 It was awesome. 180 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.120 I have been wanting to see that. 181 00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:05.600 I love it. I think you more than anyone I 182 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.450 know would appreciate this because you know the premise. 183 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:10.690 Right. What I've been told about it, it's like that 184 00:10:10.710 --> 00:10:11.509 is right up my alley. 185 00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:12.190 It is, yeah. 186 00:10:12.269 --> 00:10:15.070 I mean, anybody that's been in a band and played 187 00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:19.129 crap shows, this is– You show up and you have 188 00:10:19.190 --> 00:10:21.629 no idea where you're going or what kind of place 189 00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:23.210 it's going to be or what the crowd's going to 190 00:10:23.230 --> 00:10:25.289 be like and how many times has that happened? So 191 00:10:25.389 --> 00:10:27.370 that's every show. 192 00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:27.929 You're ever at. 193 00:10:27.950 --> 00:10:32.960 Yeah. So, yeah, this is exactly, yeah, it's that gone 194 00:10:33.059 --> 00:10:34.600 the most wrong a thing can go. 195 00:10:35.389 --> 00:10:36.830 But it's like really fun. 196 00:10:36.850 --> 00:10:37.669 Yeah. 197 00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:39.789 I mean, despite being like super violent. 198 00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:41.129 Because somebody told me about it and I was like, 199 00:10:41.169 --> 00:10:42.840 that just sounds like a nightmare. 200 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:44.259 And they're like, well, yeah, it is a nightmare. 201 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.100 It is, honestly. But an awesome nightmare. 202 00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:48.840 Yeah, like it's great. It has like really funny moments 203 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.320 in it. 204 00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:50.039 Yeah, surprisingly. 205 00:10:50.059 --> 00:10:53.200 All the cast is amazing. Patrick Stewart is the owner 206 00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:54.610 of a neo-Nazi club. 207 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.090 I feel like eventually we'll all come to terms with 208 00:10:57.149 --> 00:10:59.730 like just how epically amazing. Like I think we just 209 00:10:59.750 --> 00:11:03.309 wrote on like, you know, Star Trek, whatever. And then like, yeah, yeah, 210 00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:06.620 he's Professor X. But I'm like- The other stuff he does. Like, 211 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:09.070 he is so good all around. I mean, not that 212 00:11:09.110 --> 00:11:12.850 he hasn't been around Excalibur. I mean, he's been doing 213 00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:17.350 this forever. But, like, yeah, he is just so amazing. Like, 214 00:11:17.409 --> 00:11:21.070 to watch him do this kind of performance is like.... 215 00:11:22.129 --> 00:11:23.409 Man, I love Patrick Stewart. 216 00:11:23.649 --> 00:11:24.379 Oh, yeah. 217 00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:27.840 And I love that he didn't even, like, change his 218 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.659 voice at all. Like, you'd think if you're playing this, like, 219 00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:34.460 neo-Nazi club owner in, like, rural Oregon that you might... 220 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.600 Not have the Patrick Stewart voice, but he's just, just 221 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.179 Patrick Stewart. 222 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.360 That's what I said, though. I'm like, well, but nobody, 223 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.279 you never know what a neo-Nazi is going to look 224 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:47.700 like now. So, like, the other yokel Americans didn't change their, 225 00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:51.990 that seems fitting, but I'm like, you kind of don't know. 226 00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:54.649 The world we live in, you don't know who these 227 00:11:54.690 --> 00:11:57.169 people are that you're around all day long. So, I 228 00:11:57.190 --> 00:11:59.690 kind of like that it's just like, you never know 229 00:11:59.730 --> 00:12:02.210 who falls in this category. And who's going to be 230 00:12:02.230 --> 00:12:03.210 your worst nightmare. Yeah. 231 00:12:05.169 --> 00:12:09.320 It was so fun though and the special effects are 232
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.879 like it's. 233 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.440 Bad horribly awesome some really bad. 234 00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:17.690 Stuff happens but yeah it just feels kind of like 235 00:12:17.769 --> 00:12:23.029 a crazy fever dream punk rock like That movie. 236 00:12:23.149 --> 00:12:25.480 I thought, was just terrifying. Like, I think it was 237 00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:27.960 scarier than any movie I've seen in, like, the last 238 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.100 10 years. Just seeing that in the theater, like, I 239 00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.320 guess you could. 240 00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:35.590 It's technically sort of a horror premise, but it's also. 241 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.429 It's just realistic enough to be. 242 00:12:37.429 --> 00:12:39.909 It's real world, I think, is why it's so horrifying. 243 00:12:39.929 --> 00:12:42.750 Because all of this, like, it doesn't get supernatural. Like, 244 00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:45.330 all of these things could really be happening to someone 245 00:12:45.370 --> 00:12:49.669 right now. Maybe you. Depending on where you end up, so... Yeah, 246 00:12:49.690 --> 00:12:52.029 I think it's the reality of it that makes it 247 00:12:52.049 --> 00:12:56.419 so horrifying. And I really like Imogene Poots. Some of 248 00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.500 it's just because I like saying Imogene Poots. 249 00:12:58.919 --> 00:12:59.559 How can you not? 250 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.000 I don't think I... It was halfway in before I'm like, 251 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:08.100 oh wait, she's so drastically different looking. Yep, Imogene Poots. 252 00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:09.659 So grungy. 253 00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:14.799 I can't watch anything while we're on that universe kick, 254 00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:20.350 but anything with Anton Yelchin... It's just depressing, really. Like, 255 00:13:20.990 --> 00:13:24.330 he's so talented, you know? It's like we all got 256 00:13:24.389 --> 00:13:27.649 robbed on that one. Like, stupid car manufacturers. 257 00:13:28.590 --> 00:13:28.990 Poor guy. 258 00:13:29.409 --> 00:13:31.529 But yeah, I mean, he had like 12 things that 259 00:13:31.549 --> 00:13:33.820 he'd already finished that kept coming out after he died. 260 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.000 And like each one, you're just like, damn, he's good 261 00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:39.059 in this too. Like, I mean, I guess it was 262 00:13:39.139 --> 00:13:41.600 good that we got all those extra things after he 263 00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:44.080 was already gone. But yeah, it just kind of hammers 264 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:48.399 it home that like, man, how talented... He was, and 265 00:13:48.450 --> 00:13:50.269 what we could have had had he lived to be 266 00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:51.090 an old man, like. 267 00:13:53.250 --> 00:13:53.490 Yep. 268 00:13:54.549 --> 00:13:54.990 R.I.P. 269 00:13:55.769 --> 00:13:59.269 He's more than just a weird Russian guy flying in 270 00:13:59.289 --> 00:14:04.809 a spaceship. It's
like we were in that universe, though. 271 00:14:04.830 --> 00:14:07.149 That's still a pretty good thing to be, though. Yeah, 272 00:14:07.250 --> 00:14:11.690 but he's barely in those. It's funny, that's still the 273 00:14:11.750 --> 00:14:16.049 thing he's known most for, but I don't know. I mean, 274 00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:19.350 that last one... He really is barely in. They had 275 00:14:19.370 --> 00:14:21.049 to be like tribute to him at the end of 276 00:14:21.090 --> 00:14:23.230 the credits, but I'm like, he's got like 10 minutes 277 00:14:23.769 --> 00:14:27.269 accumulative in the whole movie. Like he's just so not 278 00:14:27.370 --> 00:14:29.610 one of the leads in that series. So it's funny 279 00:14:29.669 --> 00:14:31.529 that he got as big as he did for being 280 00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:34.320 in that, I guess just because it's so high profile, 281 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.139 but still. Yeah, that's, he's got so much more to 282 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.379 offer than what he gets to do when he says Wessels. 283 00:14:42.710 --> 00:14:43.889 It's adorable. Don't get me wrong. 284 00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:53.120 Uh, yeah, I saw a great, uh, French horror film 285 00:14:53.230 --> 00:15:01.269 called revenge. Um, uh, yeah, very, very basic title, but. 286 00:15:01.110 --> 00:15:04.299 I, it's honestly, I thought it was brilliant. 287 00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:10.049 It's the subject matter is, uh, is definitely based on 288 00:15:10.090 --> 00:15:12.409 kind of the, I spit on your grave, like female 289 00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:15.730 revenge tradition, which kind of like, you're like, uh, you know, 290 00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:19.809 this is going to be heavy, but it's so well, uh, 291 00:15:20.009 --> 00:15:24.059 handled and it kind of just, I don't know. It, 292 00:15:24.190 --> 00:15:26.149 it inverses a lot of like the. 293 00:15:26.529 --> 00:15:27.870 Is that inverse? 294 00:15:28.330 --> 00:15:29.090 Inverse. 295 00:15:29.929 --> 00:15:30.389 Perverts. 296 00:15:30.629 --> 00:15:30.830 Yeah. 297 00:15:31.889 --> 00:15:32.429 Yeah, sure. 298 00:15:32.769 --> 00:15:36.559 Um, But in an awesome way, it just kind of 299 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.820 like changes the whole mold for that kind of genre. 300 00:15:41.590 --> 00:15:47.529 And like, I just can't, it's basically, it feels like 301 00:15:48.429 --> 00:15:50.429 there's no going back as far as like, if this 302 00:15:50.490 --> 00:15:53.730 is going to keep being like this, like really like 303 00:15:53.850 --> 00:15:57.919 intense conversation. kind of horror movie like it's gonna be 304 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:00.620 like based on this movie from now on is this like. 305 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.700 A recently made movie. 306 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.720 Yeah it technically it came out in france in 2017 307 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.559 but it came out here and kind. 308 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.220 Of like still pretty quick for boring usually yeah and 309 00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.639 we're usually a couple years behind and a lot. 310 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.519 Of people and i didn't know about until recently either 311 00:16:14.570 --> 00:16:17.990 but it got a small release and you can like 312 00:16:18.830 --> 00:16:21.269 uh watch it on things like on voodoo and stuff 313 00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:25.149 like that running on on streaming but it Honestly, I 314 00:16:25.169 --> 00:16:27.649 would maybe put in my top five best movies of 315 00:16:28.090 --> 00:16:32.289 last year. It's just so well made. The director, it's 316 00:16:32.330 --> 00:16:34.110 her first movie, and it's just one of those movies 317 00:16:34.129 --> 00:16:38.690 that feels like she's made a million movies before. It's 318 00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:43.190 just so well handled, and it's funny. It has a 319 00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:45.490 lot of visual. 320 00:16:45.350 --> 00:16:46.730 Humor, and. 321 00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:52.049 There's a lot of subtext going on, a lot of 322 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:57.580 academic kind of... picking apart of like old horror tropes 323 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.299 and stuff like that. And it's just, it's awesome. 324 00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:01.740 It was so good. 325 00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:06.160 Anybody that is recognizable on this side of the ocean? 326 00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:09.829 Well, it's French. I didn't recognize anyone. Everyone in it, 327 00:17:09.869 --> 00:17:11.490 most of the people are in it. It's like a 328 00:17:11.549 --> 00:17:15.769 small cast of like six people total. And most of 329 00:17:15.789 --> 00:17:19.150 them are French. The main girl I thought was American 330 00:17:19.170 --> 00:17:22.779 because she... speaks English in it with an American accent, 331 00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:26.750 but apparently, like, looking at the cast, she's an Italian model. 332 00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:29.549 I guess who can speak English very, very well. 333 00:17:29.569 --> 00:17:29.930 Interesting. 334 00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:32.089 Maybe grew up in the States or something, but half 335 00:17:32.130 --> 00:17:36.809 the movie's in French and half of it's in English.

She's bleeding out and 375 00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:26.130 she has to basically cauterize herself with a rolled out 376 00:19:26.289 --> 00:19:28.829 beer can that she flattens and holds over the fire. 377 00:19:29.650 --> 00:19:32.430 And, okay, so here's why the movie's awesome. 378 00:19:32.549 --> 00:19:36.059 Like, she cauterizes herself and, like, passes out and wakes 379 00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:38.119 up the next morning. And, like, because the beer can 380 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.920 has this, like, eagle, like, emblem on it of this, like, 381 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.490 badass eagle, she now has this, eagle branded. 382 00:19:44.190 --> 00:19:45.829 Tattoo where her wound was. 383 00:19:46.869 --> 00:19:50.650 She gets up and goes on her way to seek revenge. 384 00:19:51.289 --> 00:19:53.829 We're all going to start getting those. 385 00:19:54.069 --> 00:19:55.049 It's such a great moment. 386 00:19:55.329 --> 00:19:57.180 That alone makes me want to watch it. 387 00:19:57.170 --> 00:19:58.210 That is so good. 388 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.480 I got to see last week on the big screen 389 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:08.940 for the first time in my life, Labyrinth. Which was 390 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:13.039 quite awesome. Hadn't seen that movie in probably 10 or 391 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.970 15 years, and it was so much. 392 00:20:15.849 --> 00:20:17.069 Better than I remember it being. 393 00:20:19.049 --> 00:20:22.190 My one complaint, and it wasn't with the movie itself, 394 00:20:22.390 --> 00:20:25.630 it was the fact that people... would not stop cheering 395 00:20:25.690 --> 00:20:27.609 every time David Bowie walked on the screen. 396 00:20:27.630 --> 00:20:30.490 I mean, I understand, but we are still trying to 397 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.140 watch a movie again. 398 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.619 Well, yeah, the first time, you know, the audience exploded, 399 00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:35.720 and I was like, okay, and. 400 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.160 I clapped along. 401 00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:36.859 It's David Bowie. 402 00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:37.420 It makes sense. 403 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.299 But then it got to be the point where, like, 404 00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:44.420 he'd be in a scene with, like, say, Jennifer Connelly, 405 00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:46.420 and the camera would cut back and forth between one 406 00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:50.259 or the other of them. He'd go off screen, silence. 407 00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:51.960 Camera'd cut back to him. 408 00:20:52.809 --> 00:20:53.869 Cheers and applause. 409 00:20:54.009 --> 00:20:56.470 And it's like, I can't hear what he's saying. 410 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:01.099 They're trying to have a conversation. Calm down. 411 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.980 Well, the other complaint was as soon as the movie 412 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:07.000 was over, before the credits start rolling, my wife leans 413 00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:09.190 over to me and goes, I forgot how bad the 414 00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:10.410 acting was in this movie. 415 00:21:11.029 --> 00:21:12.130 So you're not with her anymore. 416 00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:14.670 I immediately filed for divorce. 417 00:21:14.769 --> 00:21:16.289 It's a given. 418 00:21:16.490 --> 00:21:16.789 Well, she. 419 00:21:17.390 --> 00:21:18.869 She kept saying, well, I love the movie. I love 420 00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:19.190 the movie. 421 00:21:19.230 --> 00:21:20.470 I just hate the leads in this. 422 00:21:20.789 --> 00:21:21.809 And I'm like, how could you? 423 00:21:22.349 --> 00:21:23.650 People love both of those people. 424 00:21:23.829 --> 00:21:24.309 Right. 425 00:21:24.589 --> 00:21:26.970 If you want to not like anybody, that damn baby 426 00:21:27.029 --> 00:21:27.829 doesn't do anything. 427 00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:29.549 The puppets were
brilliant. 428 00:21:29.589 --> 00:21:33.769 Give them all the Oscars. That was another thing I 429 00:21:33.769 --> 00:21:34.289 want to mention. 430 00:21:34.309 --> 00:21:37.690 The puppetry in that, which, of course, Jim Henson's always great. 431 00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:38.049 Yeah. 432 00:21:38.809 --> 00:21:41.890 But it just, you know, it makes you think about 433 00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:45.480 the special effects in movies now. And it's like they're 434 00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:48.880 still so far behind. the realism and. 435 00:21:49.329 --> 00:21:51.089 I mean you watch that and you're like there is 436 00:21:51.130 --> 00:21:54.970 no green screen here right they're physically doing everything on 437 00:21:55.029 --> 00:21:55.750 screen right. 438 00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:59.829 Even there is one green scene scene with a little 439 00:21:59.849 --> 00:22:00.769 the fire. 440 00:22:00.470 --> 00:22:03.089 Guy yeah yeah but even then even then i'm sitting 441 00:22:03.109 --> 00:22:04.890 there physically doing it they're. 442 00:22:04.710 --> 00:22:07.769 Physically doing it and they're watching the characters and i'm 443 00:22:07.789 --> 00:22:10.690 like there's got to be On that character alone, there's 444 00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:14.289 got to be at least three puppeteers involved. And there's 445 00:22:14.390 --> 00:22:16.269 like five of those guys running around. 446 00:22:16.329 --> 00:22:17.349 Constantly running around. 447 00:22:17.450 --> 00:22:18.390 Yeah. 448 00:22:18.730 --> 00:22:19.990 That one became one that. 449 00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:25.410 I mean, I guess it falls into that category, especially 450 00:22:25.450 --> 00:22:27.710 at the time they came out. But it became kind 451 00:22:27.730 --> 00:22:30.259 of either or for me. And I was always so 452 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:35.160 Dark Crystal Camp that I was like... I think because 453 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.779 it's so musical... that I'm like, we don't have to 454 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.509 worry about that in Dark Crystal. Like, it's just dark. Like, 455 00:22:41.589 --> 00:22:45.170 it's just weird and dark and doesn't try to be 456 00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:47.319 for kids. Like, it's just got puppets in it. That's it. 457 00:22:47.569 --> 00:22:49.549 That's all you get. Like, there's puppets. 458 00:22:49.650 --> 00:22:52.470 I think on a technical scale and the fact that 459 00:22:52.490 --> 00:22:55.029 there's really no humans in Dark Crystal. 460 00:22:56.549 --> 00:22:57.849 I think it's amazing for that. 461 00:22:58.029 --> 00:23:00.509 But as far as the actual story, for me, it 462 00:23:00.529 --> 00:23:03.119 always just kind of fell flat and was kind of boring. 463 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.470 See, again, I love the Skeksis in general. our main 464 00:23:08.509 --> 00:23:12.299 dude is so annoyingly awesome and kind of seems like 465 00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:15.539 most characters in the real world. Right. He's just creepy 466 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:16.420 and annoying and I. 467 00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:19.400 Don't know. 468 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.000 I love, I love what's going on in dark crystal. 469 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.259 So yeah, I always had to kind of compare and like, 470 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.599 I didn't watch labyrinth. I didn't, I didn't watch labyrinth 471 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.339 near as much either. So I like, I'd seen dark 472 00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:32.480 crystal billion times and I watch it a few times. 473 00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:34.920 I'm like, yeah, David Bowie's cool. But like, yeah, there's 474 00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:36.319 so much of the other stuff. I'm like, that's a 475 00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:39.920 lot of singing going on. And, I don't know. So 476 00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:42.940 I've learned to kind of appreciate it more over the years. 477 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.880 But yeah, I don't know. Again, it's so much more conventional. 478 00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:49.579 I think that's the thing that always seems weird about 479 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:51.900 Dark Crystal. You also know he didn't want it to 480 00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.680 have English. 481 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:53.380 Right. 482 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.349 He wanted them to speak their own language. So it 483 00:23:56.369 --> 00:23:58.470 was going to be no humans in it and no 484 00:23:58.650 --> 00:24:03.230 English the entire time. Just gibberish language and puppets for 485 00:24:03.329 --> 00:24:06.680 two hours. I'm like, Jim Henson, you crazy bastard. 486 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.880 Oh, well, and the version we got is two hours 487 00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:14.970 because it ended up being like the work print was 488 00:24:15.009 --> 00:24:17.589 something like five hours or something like that. 489 00:24:18.029 --> 00:24:20.789 So, yeah, sometimes you need somebody on the studio end 490 00:24:20.809 --> 00:24:23.329 to talk you down and be like, okay, okay, I 491 00:24:23.390 --> 00:24:28.769 appreciate your artistry, but let's be realistic. So I like 492 00:24:28.849 --> 00:24:32.059 the honed down version we got, but. Yeah, sometimes I 493 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.660 think about the weird stuff Henson came up with. I'm 494 00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:38.079 just like, you are a genius and a madman. Yes. 495 00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:43.079 But yeah, it's been a while, so that's another one 496 00:24:43.099 --> 00:24:45.720 of those. I feel like I should revisit. 497 00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:48.460 I saw a picture, like a behind-the-scenes picture of the 498 00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:51.259 Dark Crystal, and they were in this set that was 499 00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:54.460 basically the size of a football field. And then you 500 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:58.720 see Jim and one of the other, it wasn't Frank Oz, 501 00:24:58.740 --> 00:25:00.430 but it was one of the other guys, And they've 502 00:25:00.450 --> 00:25:03.309 got these huge massive puppets which have all these wires 503
00:25:03.390 --> 00:25:06.900 and cables running off off screen. And it's just, I 504 00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:11.059 can't imagine. I can't begin to imagine the technical aspects 505 00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.880 of that movie. 506 00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:13.680 I mean, just to run one of them. 507 00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:14.440 How heavy they were. 508 00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:16.380 And then the fact that you've got so many going 509 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:18.680 at the same time talking to each other. And then 510 00:25:19.390 --> 00:25:21.890 you're still trying to run a movie normally. So all 511 00:25:21.930 --> 00:25:25.210 the horrors of trying to have a movie work anyway 512 00:25:25.289 --> 00:25:28.990 is piled on top of the 48 people running your 513 00:25:29.009 --> 00:25:32.410 puppets right now. The fact that any of those got 514 00:25:32.450 --> 00:25:34.269 made is still kind of amazing. 515 00:25:36.930 --> 00:25:38.210 We need to bring back puppets. 516 00:25:39.900 --> 00:25:41.660 I'm working on it. 517 00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:45.019 I'm still working on my series of puppet short films. 518 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.420 I need funding for those too. That's what's put it 519 00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:48.160 on the back burner. 520 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.359 I bought some foam a couple weeks ago. I didn't 521 00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:54.579 get much further than that yet. 522 00:25:55.369 --> 00:25:58.750 Oh, that just made me remember. When I lived in 523 00:25:58.789 --> 00:26:00.349 New York, I went on a first date with this 524 00:26:00.390 --> 00:26:01.309 guy who was like. 525 00:26:01.589 --> 00:26:02.049 A puppet? 526 00:26:02.349 --> 00:26:02.750 Yes. 527 00:26:04.069 --> 00:26:04.950 It took me all. 528 00:26:04.849 --> 00:26:09.920 Night to figure out, wait a minute. This foamy skin, 529 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.799 these ping pong ball eyes. You're a puppet, aren't you? 530 00:26:14.420 --> 00:26:16.259 The person behind you moving your lens. 531 00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:20.789 He's just my interpreter. Don't mind him. I'm not from 532 00:26:20.829 --> 00:26:23.089 your land. He has to come along with me everywhere. 533 00:26:24.450 --> 00:26:26.750 But he was like a screenwriter and so I was 534 00:26:26.769 --> 00:26:29.490 like well what are you working on and he told 535 00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:33.769 me he's doing a puppet musical of king arthur and 536 00:26:33.809 --> 00:26:36.529 the knights of the round table to which i laughed 537 00:26:36.730 --> 00:26:39.230 because i thought that it would be like a funny 538 00:26:39.589 --> 00:26:45.950 puppet musical you would think he was completely serious so. 539 00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:46.960 That ended the date right. 540 00:26:46.630 --> 00:26:54.880 It really did we didn't go out again mostly. 541 00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:54.500 Because he couldn't believe that you didn't take him seriously 542 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.559 as an artist. 543 00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:57.339 A
serious puppet musical. 544 00:26:57.220 --> 00:27:00.690 I've There are a lot of serious puppeteers out there. 545 00:27:00.750 --> 00:27:02.250 It's kind of frightening. 546 00:27:02.569 --> 00:27:03.410 I was just, yeah. 547 00:27:03.609 --> 00:27:07.250 I mean, I love the whole spectrum of it, but again, 548 00:27:07.349 --> 00:27:10.369 I fall more towards the fun. 549 00:27:10.630 --> 00:27:11.009 Yeah. 550 00:27:11.690 --> 00:27:13.390 But yeah, there are people who take it very seriously. 551 00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:16.670 I mean, yeah, there should be a level of professionalism 552 00:27:16.690 --> 00:27:18.470 that you bring to it, but you don't need to 553 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.700 take yourself that seriously as any level of artist, puppetry 554 00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:25.980 or not. As a person, don't take yourself that seriously. 555 00:27:26.289 --> 00:27:29.950 You can take the work seriously. That's appreciated. But some 556 00:27:29.970 --> 00:27:33.960 people take themselves very seriously. And it runs dates. 557 00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:37.700 I was just picturing, like, forgetting Sarah Marshall when he 558 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:39.140 does the Dracula music. 559 00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:40.519 I was thinking that too. 560 00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:42.299 I was thinking that as you said it. 561 00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:45.759 The thing is, that was, that came from a real 562 00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.329 thing that he was working on that was, again, not 563 00:27:51.369 --> 00:27:54.910 supposed to be a comedy. And he feels like that 564 00:27:54.990 --> 00:27:57.299 was what got him the gig writing for the Muppets 565 00:27:58.059 --> 00:28:01.240 was because of that. And he's probably right. 566 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:05.720 It now just makes me think when we did the 567 00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:09.910 Forgetting Sarah Marshall episode many years ago, I had a 568 00:28:09.950 --> 00:28:12.750 guest on and he was a comic, but he really 569 00:28:12.789 --> 00:28:14.250 liked that movie and he wanted to talk about it. 570 00:28:14.630 --> 00:28:16.849 And I had issues with it. So most of the 571 00:28:16.869 --> 00:28:19.190 way through, I was like, But again, at the end, 572 00:28:19.210 --> 00:28:21.809 I'm like, but that musical is freaking awesome. I don't 573 00:28:21.829 --> 00:28:23.250 even think it was during the show. That's kind of 574 00:28:23.269 --> 00:28:25.359 why I'm telling the story now. After we were done, 575 00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:31.430 he goes... I said something about, you know, the Dracula 576 00:28:31.450 --> 00:28:33.720 puppet and whatever. And he was like, oh, well, let 577 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.400 me show you this. And he, like, rolled up his sleeve. 578 00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:38.920 His whole arm was done with that Dracula puppet from 579 00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:44.200 Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The Dracula Forgetting Sarah Marshall musical puppet was, like, 580 00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:46.910 he has
a whole thing on his arm devoted to that. 581 00:28:46.970 --> 00:28:49.170 He loved it so much. And I was like, dude, 582 00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:52.150 we didn't even talk about that. What the hell? Like, 583 00:28:52.190 --> 00:28:57.109 why didn't you tell me beforehand? Like, you are that committed, dude. So, yes, 584 00:28:57.329 --> 00:29:01.299 he was very cool, but extra cool after that. Devoted 585 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.279 your whole arm to puppet Dracula. That's freaking cool. 586 00:29:04.339 --> 00:29:05.660 That is amazing, because. 587 00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.599 That's a movie I very quickly forgot. 588 00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:10.359 Yeah, and that was my, it's like there's things and 589 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.180 parts of it that I appreciate, but I'm like, overall, 590 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.819 it's not the greatest. You know, even as a comedy, 591 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:21.880 it's pretty light. But, yeah, the Dracula puppet on your 592 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.519 arm for all eternity. I'm like, good for you, man. 593 00:29:25.009 --> 00:29:28.579 Committed it's getting kind of hard to believe things are 594 00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:34.519 going to get better i've been drowning too long to 595 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:36.970 believe that the tide's going. 596 00:29:36.670 --> 00:29:39.970 To turn and i've been. 597 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.440 Living too hard to believe things are going to get 598 00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:49.210 easier now I'm still trying to shake off the pain 599 00:29:49.390 --> 00:29:50.769 from the lessons. 600 00:29:50.349 --> 00:29:53.809 I've learned To add to your enjoyment of the movies, 601 00:29:53.849 --> 00:29:58.569 we offer cold, refreshing, full-flavored drinks Choice popcorn, freshly popped, 602 00:29:58.869 --> 00:30:03.019 crisp and tasty, and richly coated taste-filled candy bars that 603 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.559 are sure to please you.

No day. 715 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:51.730 We might see some octopuses Or a. 716 00:35:51.530 --> 00:35:53.389 Half a dozen clams. 717 00:35:54.710 --> 00:35:57.590 We might even see a poimade. 718 00:35:57.170 --> 00:36:00.920 But poimade's got no jams! 719 00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:04.460 No jams. 720 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:11.619 So, one of my this past couple of weeks is, 721 00:36:12.090 --> 00:36:16.570 I guess, inspired by our recent episode we did together. 722 00:36:16.590 --> 00:36:20.150 I watched Hail Caesar, which I had not seen. It 723 00:36:20.909 --> 00:36:24.070 was another one of those sort of comedy Coen Brothers 724 00:36:24.130 --> 00:36:26.559 movies that I and most of the people don't pay 725 00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:29.820 that much attention to. But I'd seen the trailer. I 726 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:31.800 was like, that looks, you know, fun. And I like 727 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:34.900 the subject matter. Anything that's a movie making fun of 728 00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:39.739 movies is kind of awesome. So, It's pretty impressive. Once again, 729 00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:43.610 it's as committed as the Coen brothers always are to everything. 730 00:36:44.230 --> 00:36:48.550 It's that only mixed with their love of filmmaking and 731 00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:54.559 at the same time completely satirizing it. So everything they're doing, 732 00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.139 it's just set in, I think, early 40s-esque kind of 733 00:36:59.179 --> 00:37:01.699 time period. Or no, I
think it's 50s. I think 734 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:03.780 it's just at the point of everything starting to kind 735 00:37:03.820 --> 00:37:06.150 of change in the system. but you're coming off of 736 00:37:06.230 --> 00:37:09.750 old school, like 40s, big studio stuff. So you're coming 737 00:37:09.829 --> 00:37:12.570 out and we get almost moments of all these different 738 00:37:12.610 --> 00:37:15.639 genres that are still kind of going on too, because 739 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.300 we get a full on Western scene with what is 740 00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.400 the Alden, the new Han Solo, which I'd heard that 741 00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:26.110 he was in that. But again, I hadn't seen it. 742 00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.699 He's really fucking likable. Like if you haven't, if you 743 00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.940 didn't buy him in his new Han Solo world, like, 744 00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:35.980 it's hard to not love this guy in this movie 745 00:37:36.019 --> 00:37:38.900 because he's so earnest and he is just like a 746 00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:42.300 full on cowboy. Like he grew up coming out of 747 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.989 the rodeos and like, they were like, Oh, we want 748 00:37:45.010 --> 00:37:46.969 to make a movie. So they make all these Westerns 749 00:37:47.030 --> 00:37:49.989 with him and they like, he's just doing trick shots 750 00:37:50.050 --> 00:37:52.250 and like flipping off the horse. And like, he's just, 751 00:37:52.409 --> 00:37:55.150 he is committed to that, but that's what he does. 752 00:37:55.389 --> 00:37:58.550 And it's funny that he's like, he's going, he's like, Oh, 753 00:37:58.570 --> 00:37:59.670 if we're going to take a break, I'm gonna go 754 00:37:59.690 --> 00:38:03.059 get some beans. Like, Even during hitting the mess tent, 755 00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:05.280 you know, he's still having beans. So, like, he's that 756 00:38:05.860 --> 00:38:09.179 cowboy mode in his mind. So it's really funny that, like, 757 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:12.079 one of the studio guys comes over. He's like, well, okay, 758 00:38:12.340 --> 00:38:14.579 we're done with this one. And Monday we want you 759 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:17.039 to head over here to this. He's like, oh, what for? Well, 760 00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:19.969 the studio is changing your image. So you see there's 761 00:38:20.070 --> 00:38:25.949 this almost, like, this super, like, people with accents sitting 762 00:38:26.030 --> 00:38:29.670 on sofas and talking kind of fancy stuff. And they're 763 00:38:29.690 --> 00:38:31.309 trying to shove him in and he shows up in 764 00:38:31.349 --> 00:38:34.130 a tux and just feels weird and he walks in 765 00:38:34.190 --> 00:38:39.360 and he can't even deliver the lines. That scene is great. Yeah, 766 00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:42.079 he's amazing in this. It may have been my favorite 767 00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:44.300 through line of all of it was just watching him 768 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:47.420 do his thing because damn
he is likable in that movie. 769 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.989 But if anything's carried it like Josh Brolin. Obviously we've 770 00:38:53.090 --> 00:38:55.349 all kind of come to terms with how amazing Josh 771 00:38:55.369 --> 00:38:59.280 Brolin is in the last 15 years but Man, this 772 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:03.429 movie is just all him. It is following him around, 773 00:39:03.530 --> 00:39:08.849 going through all this craziness, but damn, he's good. He's 774 00:39:08.889 --> 00:39:12.369 just so solid, especially to be this kind of a 775 00:39:12.389 --> 00:39:15.780 hard-ass that he is. He gets to be that Josh 776 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:17.659 Brolin that, again, he's played a lot in these last 777 00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:21.960 15 years. So, yeah, watching him go through this old 778 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:26.360 Hollywood version of everything is pretty damned entertaining. And all 779 00:39:26.420 --> 00:39:30.239 our weird little cameos. Again, like I didn't want to 780 00:39:30.260 --> 00:39:33.539 like Channing Tatum for so long but he's such a 781 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.570 dork like and he really seems committed to all these 782 00:39:36.659 --> 00:39:42.050 things like completely doing a like sound of music singing 783 00:39:42.070 --> 00:39:44.809 in the rain level of like dancing like it is 784 00:39:44.969 --> 00:39:48.159 it is full on Fred Astaire like Danny Kaye like 785 00:39:48.889 --> 00:39:51.420 His musical scene is amazing, and we all know he's 786 00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:53.900 a dancer, but usually it's taking his clothes off. So 787 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.420 the fact that this is really impressively well choreographed, and 788 00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:05.469 it's Janie Tatum being a dork. We get Scarlett Johansson 789 00:40:05.510 --> 00:40:09.070 doing the water... Bubsy. 790 00:40:08.769 --> 00:40:09.369 Berkeley kind of thing. 791 00:40:09.389 --> 00:40:13.820 Yeah, basically the huge water production number thing. Dressed as 792 00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:17.000 a mermaid, of course. Yeah, there's so many weird little 793 00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:20.079 aspects that come into it that, like, I have to 794 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:22.510 love it, but it's weird that it's also its own 795 00:40:22.530 --> 00:40:25.230 movie outside of these little things they would cut away to. 796 00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:27.730 And you'd spend five minutes going, wait, we're just watching 797 00:40:27.750 --> 00:40:31.070 this whole scene of this now. So, again, you can 798 00:40:31.090 --> 00:40:33.690 tell how much the Coen brothers still love old Hollywood 799 00:40:33.809 --> 00:40:36.179 and yet are completely committed to making fun of it. 800 00:40:36.730 --> 00:40:42.250 Because all of these characters are based pretty, like... pretty 801 00:40:42.349 --> 00:40:44.570 directly on other people that you can be like, Oh, 802 00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:48.889 this is obviously the version of this person. So it's, yeah, 803 00:40:49.030
--> 00:40:52.340 it's a lot of fun for those reasons. Again, it's 804 00:40:52.460 --> 00:40:55.300 back to what I said on, on our Coen brothers discussion. 805 00:40:55.900 --> 00:40:59.980 I can really see why normal people wouldn't care about Coen. 806 00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:03.219 But like, they're so specific in particular that I'm like, 807 00:41:03.659 --> 00:41:06.730 if you get their level of like love for old Hollywood, 808 00:41:06.789 --> 00:41:09.010 you don't think this is great. Normal people would just 809 00:41:09.050 --> 00:41:12.010 be like, well, are we watching all this for like 810 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:14.719 it is another one of those like you're watching and 811 00:41:14.739 --> 00:41:17.920 like sort of it's that same thing of like there's 812 00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:20.599 a plot going on but it's kind of not so 813 00:41:20.659 --> 00:41:23.340 consequential by the time you get to the end like 814 00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:26.179 the story with Josh and his journey it's really the 815 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:28.519 only thing that matters like all this other bullshit going 816 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.039 on is just like there's weird communist subplots and like 817 00:41:32.099 --> 00:41:34.380 all this other shit kind of going on at the 818 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:36.340 same time but by the end you're like yeah none 819 00:41:36.380 --> 00:41:38.619 of that was supposed to matter like it's all just 820 00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:41.590 kind of watching this one character kind of his, his 821 00:41:41.630 --> 00:41:44.550 little arc of like how much he's committed to the 822 00:41:44.590 --> 00:41:47.230 studio system and how much his life is about all 823 00:41:47.250 --> 00:41:51.539 of this craziness. So, yep. I, I love it. But again, you, you, 824 00:41:51.579 --> 00:41:53.559 I think you have to be a Coen brothers person 825 00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.400 or just love at least old Hollywood to, to really 826 00:41:56.460 --> 00:41:59.280 appreciate it. Otherwise you'll just be confused. 827 00:42:02.860 --> 00:42:04.889 Well, mine is also Coen brothers related. 828 00:42:04.909 --> 00:42:05.489 All right. 829 00:42:05.789 --> 00:42:09.949 Um, I watched another day, another time. It's basically like 830 00:42:09.969 --> 00:42:14.570 a live concert that all of the music is either 831 00:42:14.610 --> 00:42:17.809 directly from or inspired by Inside Llewyn Davis. So it's 832 00:42:17.849 --> 00:42:21.949 all these like 1960s folk kind of songs. I mean, 833 00:42:21.969 --> 00:42:28.829 it's like Punch Brothers, Milk Carton Kids, Joan Baez, the 834 00:42:28.909 --> 00:42:32.940 Avett Brothers. Just like all these really good folksy people. 835 00:42:33.059 --> 00:42:35.400 Oscar Isaac comes out and sings and plays the guitar. 836 00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:36.380 I would hope so, sure. 837 00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:38.760 He's amazing. I didn't know. 838 00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.719 So is this like theatrically released or did they just 839 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:43.559 put it out? 840 00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:48.710 I don't know. I don't think it was theatrically released. 841 00:42:48.789 --> 00:42:50.349 We just found it on Amazon. 842 00:42:51.050 --> 00:42:51.690 Interesting. 843 00:42:51.789 --> 00:42:54.590 But I guess it's like a companion piece to the 844 00:42:54.630 --> 00:42:57.449 movie somehow. But the music is all really great and 845 00:42:58.030 --> 00:43:01.539 everybody's so talented and it like cuts... back and forth from, like, 846 00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.360 live on the stage where they're doing an actual concert 847 00:43:04.449 --> 00:43:07.429 for a bunch of people to, like, in the studio 848 00:43:07.469 --> 00:43:10.710 with T-Bone Burnett and, like, they're rehearsing and everything. It's 849 00:43:10.789 --> 00:43:14.170 really cool and, like, very seamless the way that they 850 00:43:14.210 --> 00:43:16.929 kind of incorporate it all together. And the music is 851 00:43:16.969 --> 00:43:18.869 just gorgeous and awesome. 852 00:43:19.250 --> 00:43:21.920 I mean, they do put so much work into each 853 00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:24.860 of these little areas that they tackle. So, like, yeah, 854 00:43:25.019 --> 00:43:26.920 that was kind of that same thing with Llewyn Davis. 855 00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:30.809 It was like, they'd dove headfirst into that music scene 856 00:43:30.849 --> 00:43:34.530 of that era and that specific subgenre of music. And like, 857 00:43:35.130 --> 00:43:38.309 it's super, again, it's that same thing. It's true to 858 00:43:38.329 --> 00:43:41.139 the time, but they made up a character. So it's like, 859 00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:44.039 it's very similar to other people of the time. And, 860 00:43:44.539 --> 00:43:47.420 but yeah, it's, it's so authentic in the way they 861 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:48.340 approach everything. 862 00:43:48.900 --> 00:43:51.960 Yeah. It's super cool. So if you liked that movie 863 00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.769 and the music in it, you should watch another day, 864 00:43:55.849 --> 00:43:57.570 another time on Amazon. 865 00:43:59.510 --> 00:44:00.570 Good to know it's out there. 866 00:44:04.030 --> 00:44:06.670 Um well honestly um. 867 00:44:08.269 --> 00:44:12.010 I've watched that one movie um and just a lot 868 00:44:12.050 --> 00:44:14.730 of schitt's creek so that's why that's the one movie 869 00:44:14.809 --> 00:44:19.289 outside of movies it's just been like shows i've. 870 00:44:19.150 --> 00:44:22.369 Heard a good amount about schitt's creek so what is 871 00:44:22.409 --> 00:44:25.320 your take on it um still i just i just 872 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:27.880 don't have time to delve into new shows. 873 00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.579 We kind of love it like it's it's pretty amazing 874 00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:33.380 um especially if you're a fan of like the christopher 875 00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:37.159 guest like yeah catherine harold eugene levy movies because they're 876 00:44:37.199
--> 00:44:40.760 both kind of in that mode catherine harris definitely like 877 00:44:40.780 --> 00:44:43.539 the mvp of the show like she's the reason to. 878 00:44:43.429 --> 00:44:46.429 Watch everything she's in really um. 879 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:48.880 I feel like the show has shifted. 880 00:44:49.340 --> 00:44:53.420 The first couple seasons were mostly focused on the parents, 881 00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:55.360 but now it's shifted towards the kids, which I think 882 00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:00.409 was a brilliant idea. And Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara 883 00:45:00.429 --> 00:45:04.989 have become more like supporting characters. But I think that 884 00:45:05.030 --> 00:45:07.590 was a smart move on their part. 885 00:45:08.289 --> 00:45:08.789 I do, too. 886 00:45:08.909 --> 00:45:13.920 And it's great because it kind of evolves. It doesn't 887 00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.699 stay in one kind of mode. Each season, they're branching 888 00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.099 out and trying to maybe be a little bit more 889 00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:23.139 serious or sincere with the storyline. But at the same time, 890 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:26.530 we're a comedy, so we're still going to give you 891 00:45:26.550 --> 00:45:31.329 the laughs. For example, the first season, Eugene Levy's character 892 00:45:31.389 --> 00:45:36.489 is totally just almost... just like entirely just like played 893 00:45:36.530 --> 00:45:38.570 for joe like he's great he's like but he's just 894 00:45:38.610 --> 00:45:41.550 like kind of this dopey like the typical you know 895 00:45:41.650 --> 00:45:43.690 levy character that you're used to seeing in those movies 896 00:45:43.769 --> 00:45:45.969 but like after a while he kind of becomes like 897 00:45:46.010 --> 00:45:49.389 the straight man like kind of it's just it's really 898 00:45:49.510 --> 00:45:51.820 interesting to see eugene levy as like a normal like 899 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:57.480 person like and like like being dramatic scenes which you 900 00:45:57.500 --> 00:45:59.699 get to see him in later seasons like all the 901 00:45:59.739 --> 00:46:03.199 cast kind of have their own, like, really interesting arcs 902 00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:03.840 going on. 903 00:46:04.139 --> 00:46:07.670 And, yeah, like, the kids, too. Like, Eugene Levy's son 904 00:46:07.730 --> 00:46:09.769 plays his son on the show. And his daughter. 905 00:46:09.949 --> 00:46:11.489 And his daughter, yeah, is in. 906 00:46:11.489 --> 00:46:11.719 It, too. 907 00:46:11.789 --> 00:46:12.050 Oh, really? 908 00:46:12.110 --> 00:46:13.489 And you can tell by the eyebrows. 909 00:46:14.190 --> 00:46:15.090 Yeah. 910 00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:16.119 These poor children. 911 00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:19.360 Yeah. And it's his show. Like, he's the showrunner. 912 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:22.940 And he's, like, his character, his name's... So much. 913 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:26.050 David. His name's David. And, like. 914 00:46:27.420 --> 00:46:31.159 Everyone says his sister is constantly saying his name in 915 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:34.389 this weirdly effective... And his mom, they have this weird 916 00:46:34.469 --> 00:46:40.210 way of talking. Yeah, there's a lot of speech comedy 917 00:46:41.170 --> 00:46:45.570 in the show. It's so funny because there's a little 918 00:46:45.590 --> 00:46:49.429 bit of Canadian accent, but also Catherine Harris' character puts 919 00:46:49.489 --> 00:46:54.369 on this totally made up... weird like transatlantic thing that 920 00:46:54.409 --> 00:46:57.369 doesn't really make sense but is hilarious like. 921 00:46:57.070 --> 00:46:59.829 She's genius she really is she is a genius like 922 00:46:59.909 --> 00:47:03.949 honestly she is if this is like prime Catherine O'Hara 923 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.800 like the best like stuff that like she has done 924 00:47:08.940 --> 00:47:10.719 since like Waiting for Guffman like. 925 00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:14.679 We we're constantly like We watched it on Netflix. We're 926 00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:18.429 constantly having to hit the 10 seconds rewind thing because 927 00:47:18.469 --> 00:47:19.969 we're laughing so hard. 928 00:47:20.110 --> 00:47:21.110 And we'll miss a lot. 929 00:47:21.150 --> 00:47:24.369 You'll miss the next joke that's just as funny. So 930 00:47:24.550 --> 00:47:25.650 that's always a good sign. 931 00:47:25.750 --> 00:47:27.829 Good Lord. 932 00:47:28.230 --> 00:47:29.750 How many seasons are there of it now? 933 00:47:29.849 --> 00:47:30.809 I think there's five. 934 00:47:30.869 --> 00:47:32.070 It just started its fifth one. 935 00:47:32.090 --> 00:47:32.250 Oh, dang. 936 00:47:32.369 --> 00:47:35.150 And we're still wrapping up the third one. So we 937 00:47:35.190 --> 00:47:38.489 haven't even gotten up to the current. 938 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.559 There's some good stuff in the fourth season. 939 00:47:41.780 --> 00:47:43.280 Yeah, they say it just gets better and better. 940 00:47:43.300 --> 00:47:43.860 It does. 941 00:47:44.340 --> 00:47:47.239 It took a good turn, but it takes a turn 942 00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:51.960 as far as the sort of humor they deal with. 943 00:47:52.139 --> 00:47:54.579 I mean, it's subtle, but. 944 00:47:54.530 --> 00:47:57.250 If you've been following along, you'll look back on it 945 00:47:57.269 --> 00:48:00.710 and go, wait a minute. This is not the goofy, 946 00:48:01.309 --> 00:48:02.769 silly show that it once was. 947 00:48:04.190 --> 00:48:04.730 It's got some. 948 00:48:05.889 --> 00:48:08.550 It's got some gravitas, for lack of a better word, 949 00:48:08.590 --> 00:48:08.900 to it. 950 00:48:10.010 --> 00:48:10.440 Yeah. 951 00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:16.539 It's not like The Office where they're not planning out 952 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:21.179 things ahead. The creator, Dan Levy, has said that this 953 00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:23.690 is a finite thing I'm doing. The next season is 954 00:48:23.730 --> 00:48:25.110 probably going to be the
last. We have it all 955 00:48:25.150 --> 00:48:29.809 planned out. Where a lot of sitcoms is just... Which 956 00:48:29.889 --> 00:48:32.119 is fine with The Office, but it's mostly just jokes and. 957 00:48:33.809 --> 00:48:37.650 Everything and no character really goes any place, you know, 958 00:48:37.730 --> 00:48:39.969 or has an arc, which isn't, you don't necessarily need 959 00:48:40.010 --> 00:48:41.969 that with like a comedy show, but. 960 00:48:41.900 --> 00:48:45.920 Here they like, it's just such a, well, it's such 961 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:46.199 a good. 962 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:51.079 Like blending of just like, uh, characters revolving and, you know, 963 00:48:51.179 --> 00:48:55.670 still having ridiculous, you know, laugh out loud moments to, uh. 964 00:48:56.269 --> 00:48:58.969 And chris elliott stops by oh yeah chris elliott's great 965 00:48:59.050 --> 00:49:01.750 i forgot you're wrong but that's the thing that's why 966 00:49:01.769 --> 00:49:03.739 i started watching because when i saw his name in 967 00:49:03.780 --> 00:49:05.320 the credits i was like well i gotta check this 968 00:49:05.460 --> 00:49:08.159 out yeah and then he's he's only in it a 969 00:49:08.219 --> 00:49:10.960 little bit and you kind of forget that he's a 970 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:13.199 character on the show but then when he shows up 971 00:49:13.260 --> 00:49:14.360 it's like oh yeah. 972 00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:14.690 He's great at this. 973 00:49:14.710 --> 00:49:18.880 It's like a master of just being passive-aggressive to Eugene 974 00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:22.719 Levy's character, which is their scenes together are always the best. 975 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:28.079 It is weird when something gets a chance to grow 976 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:32.829 into something else. Usually, especially with shows, you get a 977 00:49:32.869 --> 00:49:37.070 very specific tone and they either have a grand design 978 00:49:37.110 --> 00:49:39.170 and want to do more or they just sort of stay, 979 00:49:39.190 --> 00:49:42.690 especially with old school sitcoms, like you got exactly what 980 00:49:42.730 --> 00:49:44.949 you started with. It does not take it beyond for 981 00:49:45.010 --> 00:49:48.780 nine or 10 years. Doesn't change the banter, the pattern, 982 00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.320 everything is still just kind of hitting the same notes 983 00:49:51.380 --> 00:49:53.579 as it did the first one, which at least, you know, 984 00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:57.079 consistency is good for some things. But at the same time, 985 00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.199 if you get some of these shows now that are 986 00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.880 on a different network or a different way that they 987 00:50:02.900 --> 00:50:05.960 don't have so many other people involved, you get to 988 00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.409 see a little more artistry and like you get to 989 00:50:08.449 --> 00:50:11.849 see them kind of grow and become something different, and 990 00:50:11.869 --> 00:50:16.050 that's pretty amazing, especially with a comedy that has the 991 00:50:16.489 --> 00:50:19.389 chance to do something like that. That's cool. 992 00:50:20.230 --> 00:50:20.929 Yeah, great show. 993 00:50:20.949 --> 00:50:22.309 Please watch. 994 00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:28.679 So, I just started this last night, but I started 995 00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:33.400 the new Natasha Lyonne show, Russian Dolls, on Netflix. 996 00:50:33.659 --> 00:50:36.159 I think I saw it listed and don't know much 997 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:36.820 else about it. 998 00:50:36.820 --> 00:50:41.579 I can't really... I don't know what my take is 999 00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:44.420 on it yet. It's an odd show, which is okay. 1000 00:50:45.539 --> 00:50:48.719 But it's basically running off the same premise sort of 1001 00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:54.699 as Groundhog Day. Except in this one, she dies. Her 1002 00:50:54.739 --> 00:50:59.070 character dies. She leaves a party, gets killed. And then 1003 00:50:59.150 --> 00:51:00.909 as soon as she gets killed, she's back at the 1004 00:51:00.949 --> 00:51:03.809 party again. And trying to figure out, okay, am I 1005 00:51:03.849 --> 00:51:05.030 just really high? 1006 00:51:05.050 --> 00:51:08.380 That's been the premise of a couple of movies now 1007 00:51:08.460 --> 00:51:09.280 in this last year. 1008 00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:14.460 She plays such an unlikable person. I think that's the point, 1009 00:51:14.500 --> 00:51:16.170 that you're not supposed to like this, but then you 1010 00:51:16.230 --> 00:51:21.750 start to kind of like her a little. And at 1011 00:51:21.789 --> 00:51:24.090 the same time, after the second or third episode, I 1012 00:51:24.090 --> 00:51:27.260 was like, I'm tired of all this. resetting and going 1013 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.000 back through it but i kind of want to see 1014 00:51:30.139 --> 00:51:31.159 where it's gonna. 1015 00:51:30.940 --> 00:51:34.940 Go it's asking a lot on a series you know 1016 00:51:35.019 --> 00:51:37.619 it's like within the context of a movie because like 1017 00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:41.050 i said that it almost exactly sounds like happy death 1018 00:51:41.070 --> 00:51:46.489 day which is fun like for me extremely fun because 1019 00:51:46.530 --> 00:51:49.030 i like that premise and i like the horror angle 1020 00:51:49.050 --> 00:51:52.059 that they throw in there But it's that same thing 1021 00:51:52.099 --> 00:51:56.539 of it starts as, yeah, like a terrible character. And 1022 00:51:56.619 --> 00:51:59.420 because of the resetting, you watch them kind of change 1023 00:51:59.500 --> 00:52:03.199 and become somebody different, which again is the Groundhog Day idea. 1024 00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:08.329 But it's trying to stretch it out over a series 1025 00:52:08.389 --> 00:52:12.030 seems like a lot to deal with from both ends, 1026 00:52:12.110 --> 00:52:15.070 like from their angle, but even maybe more so for 1027 00:52:15.110 --> 00:52:18.329 the
audience to have to commit to coming back to 1028 00:52:18.369 --> 00:52:22.130 that same scenario again. And investing that much time into 1029 00:52:22.329 --> 00:52:25.610 slowly watching this person maybe change. 1030 00:52:25.969 --> 00:52:27.840 Well, and a lot of the things, too, with this, 1031 00:52:27.949 --> 00:52:30.780 when she goes back and relives something, a lot of 1032 00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:34.699 the details in the background will change. Just like set decorations, costumes, 1033 00:52:34.780 --> 00:52:38.679 even people's makeup. And it took me a while to 1034 00:52:38.739 --> 00:52:42.489 kind of notice that pattern. So I get the feeling 1035 00:52:42.510 --> 00:52:46.190 that by the time they reach whatever conclusion they're trying 1036 00:52:46.230 --> 00:52:50.159 to reach, there's going to be all these... like hidden 1037 00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:53.219 things that you were supposed to have caught and maybe didn't. 1038 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:54.619 I don't know. 1039 00:52:54.679 --> 00:52:56.440 I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep watching it. 1040 00:52:56.420 --> 00:52:58.539 For a little while and see where it goes, but, 1041 00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:02.980 but it's nice to see her in anything. 1042 00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:06.219 So that's the thing. I do really like her in general. 1043 00:53:06.340 --> 00:53:08.980 So it, it was one of those, like when she 1044 00:53:09.380 --> 00:53:11.460 first hit and she was still really young, it did 1045 00:53:11.539 --> 00:53:13.599 seem like, okay, this is going to be like one 1046 00:53:13.619 --> 00:53:16.730 of the next big actresses. And like, She's turned up 1047 00:53:16.769 --> 00:53:18.769 in stuff over the years, but she never kind of 1048 00:53:18.829 --> 00:53:21.969 hit that level. I don't know what exactly it was, 1049 00:53:22.070 --> 00:53:25.300 but yeah, she never broke through in a way that 1050 00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:29.059 maybe they were planning. Probably not as much as she 1051 00:53:29.099 --> 00:53:29.599 would have liked. 1052 00:53:29.780 --> 00:53:32.219 And she keeps showing up in really big projects. 1053 00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:32.579 Yeah. 1054 00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:35.780 I figured when she was in Oranges in the New Black, 1055 00:53:36.139 --> 00:53:38.440 that the next thing we were going to see from 1056 00:53:38.489 --> 00:53:40.909 her was going to be something huge. 1057 00:53:42.070 --> 00:53:46.090 She'd get her own show. Even then, it's got to 1058 00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:50.809 be weird. She is a peculiar character. I think she 1059 00:53:50.829 --> 00:53:54.690 would have to grow on you in any capacity. She's 1060 00:53:54.730 --> 00:53:59.250 a strange performer. I can see it being hard to 1061 00:53:59.409 --> 00:54:03.880 fit her into a running theme, a bigger show kind 1062 00:54:03.909 --> 00:54:06.820 of a concept.
