Hello! Everyone welcome the classroom daily. Today's Thursday,

3:13

April Twenty Fifth, Twenty Twenty Four On today's

3:15

episode of the show, we are going to

3:17

gather around the virtual watercooler to talk about

3:19

what we've been up to. My name is

3:21

Been Pearson. I'm an editor at Flash from.com

3:23

and I'm joined on Stays Up So by/on

3:25

Staff Writer Philbrick. Hello!

3:29

Bill I wanted to have you on primarily because you're

3:32

a chance to see a specific movie in Imax. Last

3:34

night I wanted you to tell me about, but I

3:36

figured we could also make the sort of like a

3:38

mini watercooler episode and talk about a few other things

3:40

that we've been watching his wealth of first up though

3:43

Tommy but we thought. So

3:45

last night I went to the

3:47

A M C Universal City Walk.

3:50

With to see Hereditary in Imax which

3:52

is part of a Twenty Four and

3:54

I Max's series of I Max releases

3:57

a screening series, The Calling It. The.

3:59

Which. The starting and last month in

4:01

March with X Mckenna and continuing with

4:03

Reddit Terry this month and then for

4:06

each month for the rest of the

4:08

year. I believe they plan until a

4:10

year from when I started so I

4:12

think maybe it'll next March of Twenty

4:14

Twenty Five. They're going to be showing

4:16

what are their classics or in Imax

4:18

in the format or he mastered and

4:20

read. Or what they

4:23

call optimized for the format. So I

4:25

this was a obviously area is hereditary

4:27

his debut film which I've seen many

4:29

times before our and and adored because

4:31

I'm a big asked her fan I'm

4:34

and this was revelatory in a couple

4:36

ways. One was. Just. The

4:38

by virtue the fact that okay let

4:40

me explain of course to make our

4:42

listeners who maybe don't know the Amc

4:44

City Wok Imax is the one of

4:46

the to Imax screens in Los Angeles

4:49

where I base which have the generally

4:51

the full ah one by forty three.

4:54

To one ratio of the screen. So he

4:56

got like true jackass agnew Gigantic. I know,

4:58

I guess there's maybe a bigger one it.there's

5:00

a regal somewhere out and I don't know

5:02

if it's encino notes be be further out

5:05

or something, but it's There's once maybe slightly

5:07

bigger that in California which is prohibitive to

5:09

drive you, but generally these are the two

5:11

biggest ones the city. apparently I guess the

5:13

biggest one of the country if I'm not

5:16

mistaken as the Mc Lincoln Square in New

5:18

York where I used to live so have

5:20

actually downgraded when I moved out here. but

5:22

I have less. okay. I'm. The

5:25

yeah so I think I'm expands and moviegoing

5:27

fans know that there is like a disparity

5:29

in Imax screens terms of you know where

5:31

you go and what size they are but

5:33

generally if you're looking at the biggest the

5:36

of the tallest biggest ones that's generally the

5:38

for max format which is it quite necessary

5:40

for these a a twenty four we really

5:42

says cause of course none of the films

5:44

with their be releasing in the format were

5:46

shot in the format. so you're not gonna

5:48

get you know Christopher Nolan or a dude

5:50

hard experience with Hereditary suddenly I'm you know

5:52

because I don't even know if that's possible

5:54

to do. I don't know how this technology works

5:56

for up a blow up but I think you would

5:59

look bad. he would. Gabi look something close like

6:01

a pan and scan. If they had done that

6:03

integrates I'm so fortunately they didn't do that. The

6:05

keep be know the film's the proper aspect ratio

6:07

but still you know with the obviously it's a

6:09

larger screens you to seeing it and you know

6:11

in a larger size any way that you what

6:13

I'm a normal you know I'd have. I forget

6:15

the dimensions of a normal phone screen but you

6:17

know. If. The you're obviously bigger than

6:19

that and hereditary as you know fans. The

6:21

So Might Know is a very detail oriented

6:24

movie I'm you know they have. They even

6:26

make point at early in the film in

6:28

a classroom seen of one of the third

6:30

Peters teachers are who's the sign of the

6:32

ill fated family in a movie saying stuff

6:34

like all these people ignored all the signs.

6:36

how could they do that and you know

6:38

after has a a ball putting all these

6:41

signs in front of their faces. interfaces and

6:43

what's wilde is how much more I think

6:45

this happens. You know normally with any real

6:47

watch of this movie. You're gonna see more

6:49

things you missed the first time around, second

6:51

time around. Whatever. But the Imax screen just

6:54

allows you to see those types of things

6:56

easier. Because you know now it's. In.

6:58

Your face it, a bigger way and all that sort of thing,

7:02

And another. Thing. That was pretty

7:04

revolutionary about the screening was that

7:06

I'm. And of course my experience

7:08

is mine of you know your mileage may

7:10

vary. It's going to differ no matter where

7:12

you are. You know depending on where you

7:14

are where you go but I haven't to

7:16

be at the ten thirty pm screening and

7:18

dubbed. The bed by virtue of my

7:21

schedule, the what I had book and I'm.

7:23

Not. Only was the stadium full. It wasn't

7:25

packed enough though there was ever see if

7:28

you have to, seats are in there, but

7:30

it was fairly fall for a Wednesday night.

7:32

ah of a release. So that just tells

7:34

you how popular this movie is. And you

7:36

know the A Twenty Four brand I'm sure

7:38

as well. But I think this movie particular

7:41

and you could really hear a pin drop

7:43

that entire screening. I mean mildly. nobody was

7:45

there to mess around. Nobody was there that

7:47

there was a guy next to me. I

7:49

have to say who was doing what we've

7:51

seen in the recent Spiderman really says where.

7:54

It's kind of. Some people treat it like a rock

7:56

concert, almost where they want to interact and sort of

7:58

have the clout of like look I. The here

8:00

look, I'm seeing it. you know? So there was

8:02

a dude. I think he was trying to take

8:04

a few screen caps or pics or whatever of

8:07

cards or something but I will say he was

8:09

fairly discrete about it. He didn't have the brightness

8:11

on at all so I could not. I didn't

8:13

get a glare in our and I thought I

8:15

just noticed him he not doing that sort of

8:17

thing. Other than that one guy, there was nobody

8:20

talking, there was nobody making a mess. There was

8:22

no that you know he wasn't what use but

8:24

think of as the typical you know unfortunate packed

8:26

screening of a of a horror film. This was

8:28

of very reference screening. I think everybody was there

8:31

to try and get creeped out in the best

8:33

way and and I think they did. I

8:35

wonder if it was because this is kind

8:38

of like a one night only saying right?

8:40

I think oh yeah no I think I'm

8:42

gonna to. Yeah Maka was playing for one

8:44

night with like March Twenty seventh, this hereditary

8:47

the only Imax experience was last night and

8:49

then the next one that they've announced his

8:51

i'm on got Yes Websites Brothers was coming

8:53

up on Wednesday, May Twenty second. People wanna

8:56

check that out in Imax? Check your local

8:58

listings because maybe you can experience that movie

9:00

or in that format, that wife or at

9:03

least on that screen anyway. But the yeah

9:05

I. Mean, it's been a while since

9:07

I've seen the original Hereditary I spoke

9:09

with I'm Toni Collette about. That. Movie

9:11

at the time and not just remember being like

9:13

so blown away by her performance. what am I

9:16

guess? whether any I guess I was gonna ask

9:18

if there any particular images or anything that stuff

9:20

with you are sir have stood out. you an

9:22

Imax format bill but I ira or in Imax

9:25

screening I should say but I'm loath to kind

9:27

of spoiled with movie for people like maybe there's

9:29

a chance of some people haven't gotten around a

9:31

seamless yeah and I feel like it's one of

9:34

the sort of premier horror movies or the past

9:36

whatever ten years or something Iowa and other see

9:38

as a set up. A Being a fan of

9:40

astern and being. More recently familiar with

9:42

his more recent work, it was another

9:44

revelation of sorts. Go back to his

9:47

debut here and realize this might be

9:49

in my opinion his most accessible phone.

9:51

ah you know even midsummer as As

9:53

Beloved is that when his to you

9:55

know it has it's surrealistic. Be know

9:57

bits and everything like that. This one.

10:00

Once you know the game, what, you know

10:02

what's going on and you will by the

10:04

end. Ah, it's pretty brutal and pretty. I.

10:07

Won't say self explanatory because there's obviously a

10:09

lot of ambiguity about you know what this

10:11

means, what that means, What could have happened

10:13

here with that happen there. But of Astor's

10:16

films of the three you know I think

10:18

this is the one that's the easiest for

10:20

the general audience to get you know and

10:22

even of these are very a intentionally off

10:25

putting by Was Afraid which was also released

10:27

in Imax which was kind of it's own

10:29

provocation magnified by austerity. Twenty four I'm proud

10:31

of what I wanted to say to Ban

10:34

is that ah, What? Seems to

10:36

be a trend with these and I've only

10:38

been to a couple. I've been to this

10:40

one. I've been to a Twenty four Three

10:42

release of the or near enough is Pie

10:45

ah, which was repertory It's Own Wages because

10:47

that some famously was very grainy and very

10:49

indeed, very nineties. And to see it looking

10:51

so good but not losing any of it's

10:53

great, you know, in that format was. It

10:55

you. Know Extraordinary. But also their release

10:58

of Jonathan Demme is not making sense.

11:00

The Talking Heads concert film Oh yeah,

11:02

and that. You. Know screening was

11:04

fun in a completely unique way to that.

11:06

Films on trying to say is there's a

11:08

trend here but it's not a trend that

11:10

film by film it seems to be appropriate

11:12

to the film. So to explain myself it's

11:14

hereditary was your you for your pin drops?

11:17

He more super attentive people really wanting to

11:19

get it, let it get onto their skin

11:21

and let it keep them out. Stop making

11:23

sense was another thing for that film where

11:25

people were getting up in the aisles and

11:27

dancing in front of the screen and you

11:29

know, literally treating it like the were at

11:31

a concert in a way that wasn't. Disruptive

11:33

to people who may be didn't want to do

11:36

that. Embers Down. And so this wasn't a Rocky

11:38

Horror thing where you know half the audiences in

11:40

on the joke, in half the audiences. Maybe try

11:42

not to do that the right. Definitely a celebrity,

11:44

a celebratory, you know, A interaction

11:46

with the film in the way that you

11:48

know you may be one I think so

11:50

I don't have a oncogenesis gonna be his

11:52

What I'm trying to say on affected of

11:54

maybe people are going to be taken the

11:57

you know, A significant

11:59

that. What? Was

12:02

going to be cool? I don't know. Yes

12:04

yeah I am in yeah full on like

12:06

anxiety attacks running theater. Echo know if the

12:08

ah yes. The other

12:10

great at the I mean I think what

12:12

you're from what your description of these events

12:14

are. To me it sounds like sort of

12:16

a continuation of a conversation that like Ryan

12:18

Scott my them have been having on the

12:20

spot. As for a little while and particular

12:22

about like the an event type thing. You.

12:25

Know movie going in and especially in

12:27

the sort of like posts, pandemic period

12:29

or whenever and like the it sounds

12:31

like everybody. Seek. These movies

12:33

out is doing so on purpose is not a lark.

12:35

It's not the same thing as you know in the

12:37

nineties when even are growing up people would just show

12:40

up a movie theaters in be like a what are

12:42

going to see the night and are now let's just

12:44

like go check something out. It seems like these are

12:46

things that people are like planning for and like making.

12:49

making a part of their night and a big

12:51

way like centerpiece of their evening or whatever to

12:53

go check the things out. So I hope that

12:55

this means that like we're going to see more

12:58

rereleased as from other companies and stuff. getting in

13:00

on this a little bit and just trying to.

13:03

Create opportunities for people to get excited about

13:05

going to the movies again, especially in as

13:07

we talked about ad nauseum a period. Right

13:09

now we're We're sort of like in this

13:12

lull waiting for into the big summer boobies

13:14

to come out. and like, especially after the

13:16

I'm The Strikes and Everything of last year

13:18

like Twenty Twenty Four is. Ah is sort

13:21

of like on thin ice in terms of

13:23

like being a big movie, you're at the

13:25

box office Cilic. Any little thing like this

13:27

helps, I think and and I'm driving that.

13:29

Kind of like ah. Maybe

13:31

driving that into viewers heads a little bit

13:34

of like hey, here's some more opportunities for

13:36

you to make a night of going out

13:38

to the movies and a big way and

13:40

celebrate the film yard Love seems like a

13:42

cool thing to me. Oh yeah, and in

13:44

the companion piece that a bubble of course

13:46

with his passes around will also be up

13:48

on the site that I'm reading ah I

13:50

almost are discussing the fact that to say

13:52

Twenty Four's not exactly. The first. Studio

13:54

will certainly not the first people to average of

13:56

assuming and release is used to be it's more

13:59

common occurrence back in. The olden days

14:01

before either us were born where you know

14:03

how media was nothing yet but you know

14:05

in recent years Warner Brothers has done of

14:08

of release her to fact they did earlier

14:10

this year with Tenets I'm and then back

14:12

and I think Twenty eighteen They had our

14:14

anniversary in a release of Two Thousand One,

14:17

A Space Odyssey along whatever dinner Casablanca last

14:19

year that I got the last year. Amazing.

14:21

Yeah so so they've been pretty committed to

14:24

keeping that going. I think a Twenty Four

14:26

is the most exciting next step of that

14:28

were you know Wonders has generally. Been

14:30

releasing the classics the big ones, third,

14:32

the big titles that that everybody kind

14:34

of knows and loves and these are

14:37

typically films you know from them that

14:39

are. Event: Films you

14:41

know and if the A Twenty Four

14:43

library. Isn't. Quite as event

14:45

based in the A Twenty Four really hasn't ever

14:47

made you know there are. Mega.

14:50

Actually, but they've made films with action in it.

14:52

they made films with the know exciting stuff and

14:54

it obviously Civil War as recent example of you

14:56

know what's close to being a a twenty four

14:58

blockbuster if there is one. Yeah, but where I

15:00

think this is really encouraging His fact that you

15:02

know films like X marking on Hereditary and Co

15:05

gems aren't necessarily the first thing you might think

15:07

of when you think of yeah, let's go see

15:09

this an Imax and they're kind of reconfiguring. What

15:11

I Max is for the public in terms of

15:13

hey, this is a great format. It is

15:15

of the you really can't get a home even

15:18

if using these movies a million has of or

15:20

even if you own these movies you know you're

15:22

still gonna have a unique experience become to see

15:24

it this way. If Jeff Fisher together something like.

15:28

What does the same? Stephen Summers I've version

15:30

of the Money is Nine Twenty Five this

15:32

year and they're bringing that back in theaters,

15:34

but I don't think it's in Imax and

15:36

that's one where I'm currently. I'm one that

15:38

makes but Like it's also just streaming and

15:40

I might even have it on T V

15:42

or something like that to like, you know

15:44

it's like one. Of those things where I'm like

15:46

if I was playing an Imac, I think that would

15:48

give me more incentive to go and check it out

15:50

on the on the biggest possible screen or whatever near

15:52

me. it's and like really be involved in it, but

15:55

when it's just. A normal theater? sort

15:57

of. And on a normal screen or whatever.

16:00

The would would have a bigger ask for

16:02

for audiences to to sort of try to

16:04

differentiate that experience whenever self young guy that

16:06

a twenty fourth doing this and I'm I'm

18:40

Okay, I caught up with that the first

18:43

omen and immaculate recently moved both of them.

18:45

I don't really want to get Smith and

18:47

much into them Mom partly because I want

18:49

to spoil anything from the government had access

18:52

to come up at a yet and also

18:54

partly because I saw them in basically the

18:56

same day and like a week or so

18:58

ago and already have some of the scenes

19:00

are kind of blurring together for me of

19:03

which which one was in which movies and

19:05

but I mean it's It was a really

19:07

cool double feature experience in that way because

19:09

there's there are so similar. Both like the

19:12

medically in the statically and ah and

19:14

and narratively in some ways to but

19:16

I may be a you know I

19:18

was always excited to do to double

19:20

feature and then now on the other

19:22

side of that experience. I'm.

19:24

Kind of a part of me is

19:26

regretting doing it that way because. The.

19:29

Experience of start started to blur just a

19:31

little bit so I guess I would just

19:33

use this as an opportunity to to give

19:35

with a white warning to anybody who may

19:38

be had that same excitement than I did

19:40

that like it might be better to just

19:42

space out the viewing just a little bit

19:44

of kind of keep them separate experiences in

19:46

your mind or whatever. but ah I really

19:48

liked both these movies. Have you seen a

19:50

one oleander of area? okay oh he would

19:52

you think about I'm a fantastic. I think

19:54

it's really impresses to have. You. Know

19:56

this year's I mean that example. we'll

19:59

go to his. Again, deep impact,

20:01

but you know to have two films

20:03

obviously you know with such. Share.

20:05

Dna And yet they couldn't

20:08

be. Ah,

20:11

Because it it could be more different

20:13

in style because there's obviously some shared

20:15

stuff too. but I think they. It's

20:17

interesting. How are. They. Have very,

20:19

very tightly similar themes and yet they

20:21

come at them from different angles. Which

20:23

is, yeah, fighting for me? Yeah, I'm

20:26

again I'm trying to avoid spoilers.sights but

20:28

I think that I'm what's really. Engaging

20:30

about it is that you have in

20:32

both you know l leave performance from

20:35

a rising actress you know city when

20:37

he them accurate him now tiger free

20:39

and for Snowmen and those I feel

20:41

I couldn't be more different even though

20:43

you're both her a sense of the

20:45

heroines of of each film you know

20:47

Sweeney as is yeah fierce at by

20:49

the end of her film and and

20:51

really does a great. Sort. Of

20:53

the final girl trope if you will,

20:55

whereas a tiger free is. You.

20:58

Know really at actress to watch in

21:00

terms of what she's able to do

21:02

with her physicality. but also ah, ambiguity,

21:04

ads and tone? You know she's She's

21:07

a really fascinating performer. So yeah, both

21:09

of them were amazing and I was

21:11

a little rude to Sydney Sweeney after

21:13

anyone but you and I was saying

21:15

like I'm looking forward to seeing him

21:17

accurate because of her. Just great in

21:20

that and she actually is truly great

21:22

and that and and like especially the

21:24

ending of emasculated like one of my

21:26

favorite moments. Ah on on film. This

21:28

year like see the unbelievable in that

21:30

so I it definitely seems like. My

21:33

an engagement with her as an actress seems

21:35

to be on like a project by projects

21:37

out level right now but I'm but man

21:39

she really really brought it when it came

21:41

to immaculate. Oh yeah I think she's a

21:43

very savvy person. She's also be no a

21:45

producer of the film. ah you know famously

21:47

the story goes that she auditioned for it

21:49

you know when she was a teen and

21:51

editor? of course we on the What Happened

21:53

to the Ill Fated Divergent series on and

21:56

I'm and I heard some bugs when those

21:58

films were originally released in theaters. The. That

22:00

are ones are A yet it wasn't strong enough

22:02

to get me to really put on my radar.

22:04

but once knowing you know that was ball is

22:06

behind is the man directing can of of the

22:09

planet the Apes and just seeing those trailers looking

22:11

is fabulous an amazing as they do. I thought

22:13

okay to check out his mates when or films.

22:15

So I've only seen the first use of Arbs,

22:17

hoping to watch the third tonight as we record

22:20

this, but I'm. I'm really

22:22

impressed, not just from the fact

22:24

that. From. Everything that was Bolland

22:26

is covered, say on the commentary tracks for

22:28

the film's I. I'm not familiar with the

22:31

original books that they're based on, but it

22:33

sounds like they really did a great job

22:35

with adapting the books. Night underlined the word

22:37

adapting because it seems like they've made a

22:39

lot of fundamental changes to the narrative, which

22:41

really serves a movie version of that story

22:43

rather than. oh. here's exactly the way it

22:46

happens in the book. Let's stay true to

22:48

the because up. That's one of my pet

22:50

peeves is that I do think that fidelity

22:52

to source material is too. Big.

22:54

Of an issue these days in terms of

22:56

Ip. ah you know and I think something

22:59

like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a great

23:01

example of doing it the right way and

23:03

my opinion which is you still have you

23:05

know of fidelity to the characters to the

23:07

original source material but your be mixing things

23:09

you're you're giving your fans and the Iranians

23:11

a new experience rather than oh here's just

23:13

this translated to the screen. Yeah yeah instead

23:16

of that that Disney Live action remake right?

23:18

well that earlier this month for I'm one

23:20

as a real quick about the on you

23:22

mentioned the commentary. did you watch the movie.

23:24

Some sand commentary and and go badly and we

23:26

watch Okay well met. That's like true dedication to

23:29

have no I I you know I I pride

23:31

myself. I mean this comes from just I'm going

23:33

to go into my whole back on as a

23:35

person but I had it ingrained bomb at Harrods

23:37

that you know if you if you spend money

23:40

on something that you really need to use it

23:42

in that wastes you know they'll be wasteful. So

23:44

every physical media that I buy a triumph like

23:46

go through all the material is Matt there you

23:48

know has often said yes it only forever but

23:51

you know has has a so am. I have

23:53

not watched any of those movies as well but

23:55

are are either I should say but I have

23:57

all of that my I got a box that

23:59

or something I want to say that Fox Senate

24:02

to me one year and Jacob the Arctic of

24:04

Hall has been. Sort of singing the

24:06

praises of Westfall ever since those Maze Runner films came

24:08

out. He was one of those voices that you mention

24:10

that without of like trying to generate the bus at

24:13

the time thing like a because actually like a filmmaker

24:15

watching I should pay attention and and the I remember

24:17

him saying like bend at the check these out and

24:19

of I keep swearing him like one day I promise

24:21

you I will watch his Maze Runner movie was so

24:24

better Living on with it you are okay so this

24:26

is this would get this Would have gotten me to

24:28

see them sooner if I had this patch so guy

24:30

were cameo. Ah so Maze Runner. Think of Maze Runner

24:32

as pitch black and think of Mason or to the

24:35

scores trials as. Clinical Director Whereas like a the

24:37

wow you have this initial film which is very

24:39

contained very one premise with one problem film of

24:41

like we're stuck in this may have we got

24:43

the maze who put us in the maze Let's

24:45

get out of the mates you know. Film.

24:48

To is out of amazed because they.

24:51

Like know, Spoiler. but I guess they gather

24:53

the maze of the and the someone who'd

24:55

been film to is the world in which

24:57

Dismays was constructed and why and what? these

24:59

you know kids are what they mean to

25:01

the rest of the see no post apocalyptic

25:04

universe. It is. Partially.

25:06

Ah you know up a. Kind

25:08

of mad Max is you know, journey

25:10

across the wasteland. It is partially and

25:13

adaptation of the last of us and

25:15

I mean that sincerely else and it's

25:17

partially you know of away you know

25:19

of. Us Against the System

25:21

sort of narrative. So yeah, definitely check them out.

25:23

Okay, I love a regular basis. I wanted

25:26

to mention also that I caught up with

25:28

all four episodes of Conan O'brien Must Go

25:30

which is on Max right now. I'm are

25:32

you counting Guy Bill ideal of Conan I

25:34

did not seek it Must Go yet but

25:36

I do love com um yeah cone I

25:38

can would like to see Guy for me

25:40

growing up like I remember being a college

25:42

and like staying up late and watching the

25:44

late night show and all that. he's been

25:47

like the only late night show hosts that

25:49

I've really really cared about the consistently for

25:51

the longest. You know, percentage? Of

25:53

my life forever on some I'm

25:55

always sort of. I'm inclined to

25:57

I to laugh at whatever his

25:59

nonsense. That these days and I really like these

26:01

travel. Shows. That he's been doing

26:03

recently. I think there was another one called

26:05

kind of Without Borders that came out a

26:08

few years ago of now Conan O'brien Moscow

26:10

is the new when that streaming on Max

26:12

right now and I'm A. I mean it's

26:14

basically exactly what you would expect from Conan

26:16

going to some these locations that I think

26:18

someone he's actually been to before like there's

26:20

an Upset About Ireland. I remember specifically that

26:22

he did i at least one Cerebellum remote

26:24

segments on his old show where he went

26:26

to Ireland. So like it's not all necessarily

26:28

brand new stuff arm or brainy locales I

26:30

should say, but it is like. Brand

26:33

new experiences that he's having. He's obviously

26:35

meeting. New. People. The premise of

26:37

the show is that he ah as a

26:39

very popular podcast and and occasionally people will.

26:41

I guess I don't listen to podcasts I'm

26:43

not sure. Guy heavily on matters hundred O'brien

26:45

needs a friend or yes that's right yes

26:47

I'm and so sometimes his listeners will like

26:50

a faith time in or whatever and and

26:52

video chat with him and like talk about

26:54

their lives in whatever and he's flicks shows

26:56

that he surprises these people at their homes

26:58

basically like that a few his listeners that's

27:00

what that the idea behind this show is

27:02

and then he spent the rest of the

27:04

time I just with goofing off. Around the

27:06

country and doing enough ridiculous elements a house

27:08

on It's a really really find am in

27:11

each episode of like thirty minutes or something

27:13

and it's like a really fun way to

27:15

end the night. I know a lot of

27:17

people are like, you know, Knee. Deep

27:19

and like all of the great dramas of P

27:21

T V and all that kind of stuff and

27:23

my wife my in particular really enjoy. Like watching

27:26

that stuff and then trying to finish think off

27:28

on a little bit. a lighter note for good

27:30

or bad so far, yeah it's kind of like

27:32

the perfect i'm a pallet cleanser type of show.

27:34

I would recommend checking without. Called Conan O'brien Moscow

27:36

and on Max I'm aren't I know where we're

27:38

wrapping up here Built we're getting close to be

27:40

and I wanted to see if there's anything else

27:43

that you wanted to mention that you've seen recently.

27:45

The thought was worth the spotlight near. Him.

27:51

I. Have something. but. People's.

27:53

Mileage may vary. Okay, go ahead. I'm

27:55

intrigued. Who has he? I did tweet

27:57

about this recently too, because last weekend.

28:00

Just apropos of you know what I usually do

28:02

with a by started doing your the pit i

28:05

make is sort of programming little in of physical

28:07

media marathons myself on weekends if nothing's going on

28:09

and I did one of those last weekend and

28:11

i just happen to pick up a shell something

28:14

I had. Purchased. And did

28:16

not watch yet and was a little blown

28:18

away by. I. Don't know

28:20

how ashamed of supposed to be about a plump.

28:22

Say it. Ah, it is like that he wants

28:24

cool as ice. These more ice it's five such.

28:26

See him a phobia? okay or it will. First

28:29

of all, I know that there's a trend on

28:31

social media right now of oh my god. Remember

28:33

when movies with used to look like this? But

28:35

remember when movies is to look like a set.

28:39

Of Vanilla Ice movie. We did not need

28:41

to go hard on the visuals for the

28:43

Vanilla Ice movie because nobody really ever to

28:45

embody ever take that guy seriously, including himself.

28:48

I don't know. maybe you. It

28:50

didn't Janusz Kaminski on his Kaminsky shot

28:52

this movie. Guys, Yes, Why this? I've

28:54

I have a conspiracy theory that it's

28:56

very possible Steven Spielberg saw this movie

28:59

and called on his commits gases Me

29:01

like bro, let's hook up goes like

29:03

this. if you just shut the hell

29:06

out of his of Vanilla Ice movie

29:08

I'm. I. Have a a comedy side

29:10

project that I've been doing. My friend Sam

29:12

have a who are is one of the

29:14

song writers have some has been hotel Ah

29:16

and our we have our our bands him

29:18

a bell and we does April Fools joke

29:20

about a year ago ah where we pretended

29:22

to be a bunch of big bands one

29:24

of which was something called the Pump Boys

29:26

would shirt like very marky Mark sort of.

29:28

you know they they lifts weights and they

29:30

wrapped. I'm. Cool as Ice feels to

29:32

me like a movie the Pump Boys would

29:34

have made it. Like is several points people

29:36

are on ironically been like or year you

29:38

know be just the most time capsule stuff

29:41

of nights Ninety one could possibly imagine he'll

29:43

get. it looks great, it is bonkers in

29:45

a way that I don't think and and

29:47

just you know to indulge the sort of

29:49

nostalgia go with it will make him What

29:51

these two? it's bonkers the way that I

29:53

don't think you can make something bonkers anymore

29:55

these days In terms of like there's enough

29:57

earnestness in that movie yeah, they're related with

29:59

a. Yeah. Yeah that one of

30:01

the defining qualities of it. I think it's like

30:03

it. it is so silly but it also so

30:05

serious. Like you can tell that everybody is thing

30:07

it deadly. seriously I mean there there are some

30:10

like goofy moments that I feel like they're probably

30:12

and on the you know we board. yeah but

30:14

like there's there's quite a bit where they're not

30:16

and it by the I meant wouldn't experience. I

30:18

mean I don't know if I would say that

30:20

this is like it's certainly not a great movie

30:22

and it's certainly not in a movie that I

30:24

would be like oh everybody has to Russia oh

30:26

no but like owner that you know your mileage

30:28

may vary but like if you're in the mood.

30:30

For check him out early Kaminsky and like

30:32

you know watching something that isn't that will

30:34

for it would give you plenty of last

30:36

A You could do worse than cause I

30:38

think yeah. And what's really great is that

30:40

if your physical media maven like myself through

30:42

his German company called Turbine which released on

30:45

blu ray last year which is where I

30:47

got it. They do include the rift tracks

30:49

commentary track on the film for get a

30:51

message both Worlds. Amazing! Okay so

30:53

the last movie that I want to talk

30:55

about is a phone call Deadman don't wear

30:57

plaid from my classmates who you famous? Okay

30:59

oh yeah I have never seen this and

31:02

on their part of the reason and I

31:04

thought was I think was recommended on tournament

31:06

or what podcast now somebody or some other

31:08

protest I listen I wasn't to mention this

31:11

and I was thinking of it's sort of

31:13

in conversation almost with sugar. The show on

31:15

Ltd plus a know have you seen any

31:17

of that showed l know how and during.

31:19

Okay so ah does the com feral theories.

31:22

He plays a private detective and away

31:24

and he's obsessed with movies as characters,

31:27

obsessive, movies and so on. There are

31:29

shots in Sugar where it like that.

31:31

The show was edited in such a

31:33

way where his character will like walk

31:35

through a location and then the show

31:38

will sort of like. Rapid.

31:40

Fire caught a bunch of

31:42

old Hollywood classic and war

31:44

detective story p I story

31:46

kind of things. Pieces

31:48

of footage into this show but he never

31:50

really interact with the characters or anything. It's

31:53

all it's It's more of like just the

31:55

show itself being and conversation with the old

31:57

Hollywood that it's kind of amazing and reference.

32:00

You know it also reminds me of if you ever saw the

32:02

old Brain Damage show on H B O Dream on. Oh

32:04

no I didn't have never heard of that.

32:06

Yeah that was where for you know if

32:08

the sec com So they did it obviously

32:10

in that rain but the you have your

32:12

they would have interspersed throughout certain scenes clips

32:14

of old movies because the I guess the

32:16

gimmick was that the lead character was a

32:19

big old movie fan. So okay and us

32:21

yes, er Den and Don't or Plaid is

32:23

is up that but but interactive basically like

32:25

right Martin plays a i'm A P eyes

32:27

and he actually on the weather. This would

32:29

be worse is that there's a big conspiracy

32:31

air air of mystery that he's trying to

32:33

solve. and he actually. Interacts with Humphrey Bogart

32:35

over the phone like he'll have conversations that

32:37

at where it's actual footage from existing movies

32:39

that is cut in where he and Carl

32:41

Reiner who co wrote the script with him

32:43

and threat to this movie and I think

32:46

George type of the other writer. Yum. They

32:48

actually just like figured out a sort of

32:50

reverse engineered like okay we have this clip

32:52

from his old movie of Humphrey Bogart of

32:54

the phone. how can we come up with

32:56

something funny for see Mark the say on

32:58

the other end of the phone and have

33:00

them interact that way and there's like Barbara

33:02

Stanwyck is in this one Turner. Charles Laughton,

33:04

Fred Macmurray, any medical. The list of the

33:07

cast is unbelievable, James Cagney, and he Burt

33:09

Lancaster. It's like the list goes on. an

33:11

odd because they're able to just use at

33:13

get something like nineteen different movies where they

33:15

just caught in in really interesting ways. Man

33:18

will have like over the shoulder shots were

33:20

they. They clearly get like a a double

33:22

down a body double to stem in and

33:24

like where the same hairpiece that Barbara Stanwyck

33:27

or look like Barbara Stanwyck is actually in

33:29

the shot with Steve Martin. but it's not

33:31

and then they'll cut the Riverside and it's

33:33

a shot from. Zenith movie from an eighteen forties

33:35

or whatever and it's really interesting. I don't think

33:37

I've seen a movie. Do. That in

33:39

in quite that way before so I'm as want

33:42

to go to the said given us outta here

33:44

in case anybody with that you know thought that

33:46

was interesting and and mike one as seek it

33:48

out I think a rented that for like four

33:50

dollars on amazon or something like that but at

33:52

what are your memories from that all my memories

33:54

her you know. I think this may have been

33:57

the first Martin Brainer film I ever saw as

33:59

a kid. Ah. I don't think I saw

34:01

the jerk first even have a jerk came first.

34:03

This was their follow up to the jerk an

34:05

arm and before mammoth you brains are which is

34:07

not a great one and I'm. And. All

34:09

be all of me might have been first for

34:11

me anyway. So Deadman was pretty early on and.

34:14

I. Don't know his his his tracks

34:16

but stay with me her apply my

34:18

films During her I've often thought of

34:20

dumb and dumber plat as kind of

34:22

a Prado. You. Tube movie

34:25

like you tube circuit Twenty ten you know

34:27

because in that era of internet humor you

34:29

are getting a lot of these super cuts

34:31

are getting a lot of inter coding jokes

34:33

of you know we all remember while a

34:35

beaver I'm internet those days you remember the

34:37

shining trailer rico to be like of comedy

34:40

interviews, spam, we films so it was kind

34:42

of. I felt an early version of that

34:44

humor I guess following on from something like

34:46

you know not to invoke the name with

34:48

have sex pest but Woody Allen's was the

34:50

Tiger lily. You know where you would have

34:52

the at the Japanese I. Think was dumped

34:55

by comedians. so this is kind of

34:57

the midpoint of between that. And you

34:59

know what you would find later on

35:02

an internet. Humor? You know this remix,

35:04

you know, film clips. Humor was something

35:06

fairly innovative at the time. Ah, and

35:08

dumb. You. Know what it lacks in

35:11

a coherent narrative? you know who cares? It's

35:13

comedy a sort of you going for like

35:15

a big a great story your you don't

35:17

come to them and Door by Flats but

35:19

I want to say to is that the

35:21

score that is written for the film by

35:23

I believe it's Miklos Rosa one of his

35:26

last courses. nice very last score in. He

35:28

was a veteran of the On Doors of

35:30

the past. You know

35:32

a doing some some great in

35:35

all time classics. A laker you

35:37

know. King. Of

35:39

Kings as well as a Green Berets

35:41

gold way to Sinbad he worked on

35:43

so and her, you know ah as

35:45

well as a bunch of actual Nor

35:48

is back in the days of. The

35:50

heyday of a film noir or that this

35:52

movie is is referring to send it out

35:55

what really goes really it. He basically had

35:57

to like come up with his new score

35:59

for this movie in or to sort of

36:01

match the score that they could not remove

36:03

air excise or whatever from this clip that

36:05

they were sort of importing into this filmed

36:08

like oh yeah, algae with quite there yet

36:10

So that must have been like an extremely

36:12

interesting challenge for him, especially since he probably

36:14

scored some of the movies that they were

36:16

fifteen have been actually ripping out of yet.

36:18

It's a really cool idea for movie and

36:20

I'm I will say like if you haven't

36:23

seen a ton of filmed war movies like

36:25

maybe. Watch. Some of those classics

36:27

and then go back to this conflict. The

36:29

jokes just don't probably wouldn't quite. Land is

36:31

hard I would. I particularly double Indemnity is

36:33

a big one in their right. Yeah, and

36:35

never that one, Yes, but that be. I've

36:38

been watching like door stuff for decades. At

36:40

this point though again, were to really really

36:42

well on me. I'm but I yeah and

36:44

I I want that genre so I've just

36:46

never seen anything quite like that. Men don't

36:49

wear plaid. so yeah, stuff, we recommend that.

36:51

Okay, one last thing before we go over

36:53

to I'm finish off of the listener email

36:55

here. Lorenzo. From Sarasota, Florida Road and about

36:57

our recent episode where we talked about our

36:59

favorite vampire films and are in the says

37:02

both my favorite live action vampire movies were

37:04

mentioned, but my number one favorite vampire movie

37:06

is actually an animated film and were to

37:08

give that a shoutout. Caught The Batman vs

37:10

Dracula and he calls it under Scene and

37:12

Underrated explains that even though it is set

37:14

in the continuity of an animated series called

37:17

the Batman that debuted in two thousand for

37:19

a quota, the film of the standalone story

37:21

that can easily also be enjoyed even without

37:23

the context of the show. He says it's

37:25

atmospheric. And creepy it starts. Peter Storm are

37:27

as the Earth's or Murray as it's Tomorrow

37:29

of I'd heard I've heard both know cats

37:32

are as the voice of Dracula and even

37:34

give with a vampire joker but Tom Kenny

37:36

penguin basically filling be brings a principled role

37:38

and delivering comedy gold throughout the I'd never

37:40

heard of the Batman first Dracula but I'm

37:42

glad that out Lorenzo wrote in and and

37:44

less know about it has given us a

37:47

shout, icon pockets and hopefully. Inspire.

37:49

Other people to check that out and know it's one

37:51

of those and made a D C films? Have you

37:53

ever dabbled in that corner of the the Dc universe?

37:55

Fill. Ah, I think I've seen one or

37:57

two. I of course he's to watch the original. Amid

38:00

series from the nineties as well as a couple upset

38:02

38:04
