Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I

0:02

Heart Radio. Hey

0:28

everybody, and welcome to Mini Crush Monday

0:31

with Me, Charles W. Chuck Bryant,

0:33

and he Noel Brown, Noel

0:36

the christ Child Brown. Well

0:41

bless me happily. Uh yeah, my middle

0:44

name is Christian. In case I've never expressed

0:47

that on the podcast before, I think I knew that W

0:50

stands for devil boy. That that

0:52

makes perfect sense. So we are the Yin and

0:54

the Yang of the universe in one is.

0:58

Some people call it the Yng and the with

1:01

a zen and the zang. How

1:03

are your holidays, my friend? In real time? This

1:05

is the first recording for us for the

1:07

New year. That's right. My holiday was

1:09

great. I had a proper two weeks off. Uh

1:12

it was you know. I hadn't taken a second of vacation

1:14

all year, and I just you know, used it and one fell swoop

1:16

at the end and I needed every second of

1:19

it. Chuck, what did you do? I didn't

1:21

do much. I I hung out with my my

1:23

you know, my kid and her mom and

1:25

our little extended family

1:27

pod and the Christmas morning there

1:29

and exchanged gifts and just

1:32

kind of vegge. Man. I got last of us two.

1:35

Yeah, where are you in that game? I don't know? Talking about

1:38

the PlayStation game, Yes, sir, PlayStation,

1:40

I don't. I didn't get a five. I'm not. I wasn't good enough

1:42

boy this year. But I don't need it. Man,

1:45

I'm not an early adopter with that stuff. I like to

1:47

hear. I think the four it looks great, man, last,

1:50

what do you need? I mean, I don't even know. Um

1:53

it's it's I'll get it one one day.

1:55

But why, I mean, this one works fine, Yeah, it's

1:57

I think the thing that's maybe divisive is just

1:59

that, like you're this isn't a spoiler. I don't think you're

2:01

playing both sides. Literally, Um,

2:04

you're you know, your main character and

2:06

then you're this kind of side character who was

2:08

basically your own nemesis, and

2:10

it pits you against each other. But it's like emotionally

2:13

complex because you're literally having to control the actions

2:15

of two opposing forces. And

2:17

I'm not far in at all, but I can already tell it's going

2:19

to be a gut wrencher.

2:23

Yeah, so maybe we should get Annie at some point

2:25

and that um once maybe once you finish

2:27

and the three of us will talk about it a little bit

2:29

on a kind of a brief movie

2:31

crusher game segment. Um,

2:35

I will just sort of quickly say that I

2:37

enjoyed it while I was playing it, because the

2:40

gameplay is just as great. It looks amazing,

2:42

it's still fun killing those goddamn zombie

2:45

people. Uh, and it's fun

2:47

and scary and awesome. Um,

2:49

And then I'll just stop there and I'll say the rest

2:51

of my review for when we do that. That sounds

2:54

like a plan. I very I think we're both in the same page

2:56

and loving the first one. And I agree that it

2:58

took me a man. Because it's been a long time that play it. I kind

3:00

of forgot. You really do have to be super sneaky

3:03

otherwise you get got pretty quick. So you

3:05

gotta sneak around. Brother, you gotta sneak around,

3:07

and then you just stab those zombies right in the

3:09

face. Yeah. It's kind of tough too.

3:11

And you're playing multiple games, uh,

3:14

the different you know, keeping straight the movements

3:16

and the buttons and uh, you know, jumping

3:18

when you want to jump and crouch and when you want to crouch

3:21

and all that good stuff. It's especially difficult if

3:23

you play on two different systems. That have different

3:25

button layouts. So I've been playing a lot

3:27

of a lot of Switch and like where the

3:29

X, like the bottom button in the row

3:31

of you know, little triangle or diamond of buttons

3:34

is sort of your main button on the switch. It's

3:36

the one to the right. So sometimes I'll

3:38

like forget what system I'm on and be hitting

3:40

the robber button like a Looney tune.

3:42

But don't they know that people

3:44

consume a great deal with marijuana that play these

3:46

games. I think they know that. I think them

3:48

all the same. Yeah, well you know the Japanese

3:51

man, they're there. Well, no PlayStations Japanese too.

3:53

What am I talking about? Nationality? Nothing to do

3:55

with button layout? Um, just kind of one of those

3:57

things has always been and I guess

4:00

it's always kind of had the other layout. Maybe

4:02

I don't know, But love both systems

4:04

And what else did I get? I got one other cool game? Um?

4:09

Oh yeah, I just like I've been playing a lot of Super Smash Brothers

4:11

online with with friends over the holidays, and uh,

4:14

Mario Kart, love that love that stuff. How

4:16

about you and what you have? You had a nice

4:19

little chill family Christmas. It looked

4:21

like with the kiddo, I did. I

4:23

had three weeks, so I'm not gonna say off,

4:25

I had three weeks off from stuff you should know,

4:27

which is, uh, you know,

4:29

obviously the line share of my job.

4:32

Um still had to do stuff you should

4:34

know, any kind of things, but I tried to check out as much

4:36

as possible. It was good.

4:39

I love my family and it's

4:41

great to be with them always, so

4:44

we had a good time. It was it was fine. My mom

4:47

spent the night Christmas Eve. She's

4:49

the only family I saw, um because

4:51

we've been seeing her and um,

4:54

you know, it hurts not to go see my brother and stuff,

4:56

but it's just it's just not

4:58

the thing to do right now for so we're

5:01

gonna wait. Man, we're getting close. Yeah.

5:03

I had to kind of win my mom over and not throwing

5:05

her under the bus at all. I love her dearly, we're just you

5:08

know, from a different generation, and like she

5:10

really wanted to do a big family Christmas thing, and

5:12

like it's not that she doesn't think that the virus

5:14

is real. I just kind of had to be like,

5:17

this isn't the year to do that. Let's wait till

5:19

next year when it feels right and

5:21

everyone can feel safe, and there's nobody

5:23

that has any inkling of

5:25

of questions whether it's okay or not. Um

5:28

and she she agreed, and we we did do

5:30

we we just kept it very small. I went and visited

5:32

her briefly, um and and then

5:34

came back. It was nice where these

5:37

days. She's in Augusta, which is where I

5:39

kind of grew up. I went to high school there and

5:42

she still lives there. Yeah, that's good. What what kind

5:44

of drive is that? Two hours? Two

5:46

hours on the dot? Yep, nice, very

5:48

nice, Noll. So we're

5:50

back. There's

5:53

a light at the end of the tunnel. Um.

5:55

I do want to start off with a thread,

5:58

I think, Uh, I don't want to it

6:00

into everything, but I just do think

6:02

that everyone could use some positivity these days

6:04

for many, many reasons. And

6:06

so I just asked the crushers, Knoll movie

6:10

related or not, just what's one thing you're

6:12

looking forward to And it doesn't even

6:14

have to be like after COVID. Just what's

6:16

one thing you want to do this year? What's one thing you

6:18

want to accomplish or get done, Just

6:20

anything that's gonna make your life a little rosier.

6:23

I'll let you think on that and I'll

6:25

read some of these Helen Lyons.

6:28

One of our old friends says, this is really

6:30

so insipid seeming, but I can't wait

6:32

to get a manicure again. It's a little bit of self

6:34

care that makes me feel way more put together than I really

6:36

am, and somehow doing it myself

6:39

just isn't the same. And I gotta say,

6:41

Helen got a lot of including

6:43

for myself, a lot of support for

6:46

self care and that's not insipid to

6:49

get a manicure or a massage or

6:52

it's like you can't do that stuff. Yeah,

6:54

it's very important to your well being. Actually

6:56

got a pedicure over the holiday,

7:00

uh with with the lady that I'm seeing.

7:02

We went and got a couple's pedicure. Everyone's

7:04

mask you know, and the pedicure places

7:06

they were ahead of all of us with the masks because they

7:08

do all the like nail painting, so they're always

7:10

wearing masks. But they, you know, limited capacity.

7:13

And we just went in and did that. And that's something I like to do

7:15

for myself because I'm a bit of a boogie boy

7:17

in that respect. But it was you go to treat

7:19

your feet. I do like that place.

7:22

That's more for a foot and leg rub. This

7:24

was like the thing where they kind of scraped the skin

7:26

off your feet and then they like trim your nails

7:28

and give you a leg rub and

7:31

you have a footpath. It's very relaxing and you're

7:33

in a massage chair the whole time. It's kind of delightful.

7:36

Well, no, I like you, my friend, but I don't want to be

7:38

near your feet. Hey, that that you don't

7:40

have to have professionals for that. I

7:42

hope you dipped well, of course, how

7:44

dare you, Chuck? I have my eye, I take care of my feet.

7:47

Well, sounds like it. Pata have it done, no doubt

7:50

at least. Melissa

7:52

Landry says, if we get to a place with COVID where

7:54

I could hug my grandmother again, that would be an

7:56

okay year. Oh god, heartstrings,

7:59

but listen, heart strings. I

8:02

just want to go see a concert. Yeah,

8:04

I mean, you know you and I are going to be some concert

8:06

going motherfucker's when this thing's over, everyone

8:08

will It would be great. I can't

8:10

wait. What's that gonna

8:12

take that? Chuck, Because it's like, you know, people are gonna ge

8:14

vaccinated and then some people aren't.

8:17

So does its people that are vaccinated

8:19

are safe from the people that aren't, right or no,

8:21

Like, how do you see that playing out? If

8:23

you get vaccinated, you are safe from getting

8:25

COVID, but you can still transmit

8:28

the coronavirus to someone else not

8:31

vaccinated. So that's why they're

8:33

like, you're still gonna have to wear your mask if you're

8:35

like if you were in if you have a dinner party

8:37

with eight people that are all vaccinated in your home, I

8:40

reckon and you you're fully vaccinated, I

8:42

reckon that you're good to go. Um,

8:46

I would think, well, not

8:48

really, because you could still pass the coronavirus

8:50

to one of them, and they could then pass

8:52

it to someone who's not vaccinated. Boy,

8:55

just everyone get vaccinated, I

8:57

think as far as concerts, and this is just a

9:00

guess is they may get

9:02

to a place where you have like a

9:04

vaccination I D card or something they have

9:06

to order to get into a place, like a Quicker credential

9:08

or something like like a passport stamp. You know,

9:11

I hope so, I hope so too. UM.

9:13

I have a buddy who works for Columbia Medical

9:16

UH in New York, and

9:18

you know, they're all a lot of the healthcare workers

9:20

are getting vaccinated first and he just got his first

9:22

dose and said it it really hurt his

9:25

arm. Uh. And the second dose supposed

9:27

to make you real sick uh

9:29

and then you're done and then you're good. I

9:32

think it probably depends on who you are of I

9:34

have quite a few friends who have gotten it now, which is great.

9:36

And my mom is getting it Saturday. Great,

9:39

that's gotta feel good. It does. It

9:42

feels great, and you know, I'm telling

9:44

her, like, hey, Mom, this's being there

9:46

and this means that you can still carry the virus

9:49

and give it to other people. And but

9:51

you know, the important thing is she'll be protected, which

9:53

is great. All

9:56

right. Let me go with Caitlin Callaghan,

9:58

a top friend. She says,

10:00

I had a top friend, top fan and

10:03

friend. I had my son in October,

10:05

and man, I'm just excited to watch him grow, Yesterra.

10:08

He figured out he can hold things. Just

10:10

watching his little world expand as beautiful.

10:13

Oh, Caitlin, that's great and just sit around and watch

10:15

that kid. Good stuff.

10:19

Charles Martinaker is one of our oldest pals, being

10:21

a healthier person and focusing on family and

10:24

self improvement and then going

10:26

on trips that they had to cancel. Of

10:28

course, I think we all had to cancel stuff, So

10:31

looking forward to rebooking that stuff. Lilian

10:34

Rolf is going to Disney and July and

10:37

just traveling. Her middle school kid has

10:39

been through a lot. Our oldest is graduating from high

10:41

school in May, and it's off the college in

10:43

the fall. So our family is truly

10:45

doing well all things considering.

10:48

That's great to be positive like that. One

10:52

of my favorite crushers, Mrs

10:54

Daisy Christiana brew says,

10:56

I a bray you. I know

10:58

she's gonna laugh at that. I signed up for a writing

11:01

workshop in hopes of kicking my practice

11:03

back into gear once a week for four weeks with

11:05

a writer whose work I enjoyed. A buyer, a

11:07

little nervous, but excited and proud of myself

11:10

for taking the time and space to do it. Daisy,

11:13

that's amazing. I love

11:15

that self betterment. Take

11:17

those classes, you know what's funny. I've always kind

11:19

of toyed with the idea and been a little too scared

11:22

taking improv classes. And Ben Bolan,

11:24

who I do ridiculous history and stuff that

11:26

I wants you to know with, has just taken in from when

11:28

I first met him. He I would go to his like improv

11:31

groups and stuff, and I always was really kind of an awe

11:33

of those people. I love. You know, bad improv

11:35

is awful and embarrassing, but when it's good, it's

11:37

like watching a magic show. And I've

11:39

been doing the podcast shows are

11:41

terrible. What are you talking about? I love magic shows?

11:44

Are you kidding me? Are you serious? Who

11:47

are you? Definitely like the Magic Castle?

11:49

I like the Magic Castle. Well those are magic

11:53

the best. Anyway, I'm a big fan

11:55

of magic, so to me that was a positive comparison.

11:57

But yeah, so if I was going to do a thing like

11:59

that, I would just you know, grow

12:02

a pair and take some improv workshop classes

12:04

here in Atlanta at Dad's garage. That would be something I would

12:07

I think I should do, because we we do, we improve all the

12:09

time. That's what podcast is, so I think I would probably

12:11

not be awful at it. So a pair of pair

12:14

of testicles. Mm

12:16

hmm, I'm like a

12:18

Kendall down there, chuck good

12:21

lord, Oh

12:24

boy. We finally gave in and uh not gave

12:26

in, but my daughter finally became

12:29

aware of Barbie and

12:31

nothing you can do about that. Yeah, you know, we looked

12:33

into it and uh, now they have

12:35

career Barbies and uh, you know we

12:38

have a farmer and a scientist and uh and

12:41

what else. There's one other thing. The

12:43

farmers are chicken farmer. Three

12:45

Barbies. They're all career Barbies. Oh a chef.

12:49

And they all lived together in a dream house and all

12:53

dream house. Have

12:55

you seen the show, the c g I Barbie

12:58

show Life in the dream House? What then do you

13:00

think? No? Why this gotta

13:02

that's that's our that's our our first intro into the

13:04

Barbie universe, the extended universe.

13:07

No, and I think, uh, you know, barblies, Barblies,

13:10

they they have been problematic

13:12

for some people here and there in the past because

13:15

of the shape, because of the hourglass shape.

13:17

And then they did,

13:19

they did for sure, but that was a big problem in the past

13:21

because it was absolutely the

13:24

most like quintessentially

13:26

unattainable body. Yeah that's

13:28

not a thing. No, So

13:31

we had mixed feelings, but um,

13:33

she's got a level head. I

13:36

think it'll be fine. Megan Carroll

13:38

one of our oldest friends, Megan in

13:40

that cat and that picture beautiful. We've

13:43

we're already planning a camping trip of the Spring

13:45

and a pilgrimage to the Rieman

13:48

to see one of our favorite bands in September.

13:50

O Megan, I've never been to the Rieman.

13:53

I want to go. What band is that?

13:57

Write me and tell me Barry in the lead

13:59

there. I have been to the Rheman or the Grand

14:01

Ole. I went there when I was a little

14:03

kid. I certainly don't remember it, but I want to go to the Rheman.

14:07

It's on the list, and I think, Uh, I think

14:09

I got a stuff you should know connection at the Rhyman if I'm

14:11

not mistaken. Who can give

14:13

me a little backstage action? Oh? Yeah, I love

14:15

a good backstage action. Um,

14:18

have you been to Robert's Western

14:20

World in Nashville, Chuck, I've

14:22

never heard of that. It's like a it's an old

14:24

honky tonk. It's right there on the strip. I guess

14:26

it's Broadway, and uh,

14:29

it's like you just go in and there's like

14:31

it's sort of like a like a divy type

14:33

place. There's no cover. They just pass a hat

14:36

for donations for the band, and it's like these

14:38

old grizzled session

14:40

guys. It looked like they can like you know, with

14:43

like meth Mouth, you know, playing like they

14:45

play their ass off. Dude. They're wearing these

14:47

like red like neck kerchiefs and big

14:50

ten gallon hats and and there's a fiddler

14:52

and there's like a pedal steel player

14:55

and the singer just belts him out like it's

14:57

like yodels, and I mean, it's just you

14:59

gotta do that's I want to do that after

15:01

COVID. It's so it's so it's an absolute joy,

15:04

and people are just like there's crust punks

15:06

and like old people and like you

15:08

know, people in ten gallon hats all kind

15:10

of line dancing on the floor. It's just an absolute

15:13

hooting nanny. It's a real hooting nanny. Chuck,

15:15

I'm gonna go no. That sounds amazing

15:17

because my one other great experience was something

15:19

like that, was going to the Broken Spoke

15:22

in Austin, Texas, and it is an

15:24

old school honky tonk with those same

15:26

dudes that all worship at the altar

15:29

of Conway Twitty, and uh,

15:31

the one thing I really wanted to do was get out

15:33

there and dance. And I just I

15:35

was frankly scared and intimidated

15:37

because people really know what they're doing out there. On that dance

15:40

floor with that country dancing,

15:42

and I just didn't do it.

15:45

It was fucking frightened, but I wanted

15:47

to. I was very dance

15:49

jealous that day. Totally.

15:51

Yeah. I I like to dance, but that kind

15:53

of country dancing it's so specific.

15:56

Like I can do like some kind of like you know whatever

15:59

general as you know, scooting

16:02

around, but like that Nashville style of dancing

16:04

is absolutely you gotta know the moves and the steps.

16:07

Yeah, it's intimidating generalized scooting

16:09

around. I love it. Shake your arsenal.

16:12

I dance a lot in the house. Emily was like, why

16:14

don't you ever dance out in public? Because you can do it.

16:18

Tracy Fox says, really

16:21

hoping for a vacation. Uh, We're

16:23

going to try and go to Jamaica. But international travel

16:25

still makes me a little nervous. But

16:27

I'm doing some research for an early fall trip. Denver,

16:30

Destin, Seattle, Washington, d

16:32

C. Those are all great cities, Tracy,

16:35

and Uh, and you can't go wrong with any

16:37

of them. They're all marijuana legal cities

16:39

except for Destin. So I'm

16:42

not sure what you're hinting at. I'm

16:44

just kidding. Daniel McCoy

16:46

says, my brother and his family moved to London early last

16:49

year, and I was supposed to visit them in April,

16:52

hoping we'll get to see my brother and sister in law and get

16:54

to play with the little monkeys disguised

16:56

as my niece and nephews. I

16:59

love that. I love little monkey nieces and nephews.

17:02

Although I don't have an either all grown noal, I

17:05

don't have a lot of like

17:08

extended family and that respect. I

17:10

have a cousin who lives here in Atlanta that I haven't seen

17:12

in ten years. I definitely

17:15

uh don't see my dozins. Don't feel bad enough.

17:18

I have a niece Shelby, who was like, oh

17:22

boy, what is Shelby? Twenties six

17:24

or seven? My niece Reagan and

17:26

New York, who's wonderful is and

17:30

then my nephew

17:32

Noah, my brother's son is getting married in May.

17:36

Uh and he's graduated from college.

17:38

And now my youngest niece

17:40

Abby know his little sisters in college

17:43

now and just a beautiful young

17:45

woman. It's great love those guys.

17:48

Old friend Anna shresth fuck

17:51

Anna, Oh, I always

17:54

have the hardest time shress the I'm

17:57

hopeful of my husband's parents will finally

17:59

be a of the business. They live in Nepaul and

18:01

I've never visited in fourteen years, and my husband

18:04

has lived in uh in the

18:06

fourteen years my husband has lived in the US. They

18:08

were supposed to be here for the birth of my son, but

18:10

that couldn't happen because of the pandemic. Well, Anna,

18:13

that sucks, and I really really hope that happens

18:16

for you all. Rob Riel

18:18

says, really missed going to the movies. We had a

18:20

regal pass my wife and I and we

18:22

were able to watch a ton of movies a year ago. Can't wait

18:24

to do that again, for sure. This

18:26

is a movie podcast, after all, so we

18:29

all want to go to movies again. Zack,

18:32

pointing our old friend in Japan, says, I'll be going to Universal

18:35

Studios Japan on the twelve through

18:37

fift of this month, of

18:40

course, taking precautions. Also, my son

18:42

will be starting elementary school and

18:44

movie related watching one a movie a month

18:46

in genres I don't normally

18:49

care to watch. That's a good goal. Expand

18:52

those horizons. Did you watch anything

18:54

really great over the holiday, Chuck? There were there,

18:56

There was, There was a few a few really good ones

18:58

that came out. Yeah, you know what, we gotta

19:00

stream this coming up. So okay, I'm ana hold off, I'm

19:02

a hold up. You know we're gonna we're gonna talk about those wonderful

19:05

so let me read a couple of more of these

19:08

and then we'll move on to our next thing. There's a lot of really good

19:10

ones, Isabel him and says getting

19:12

married to my best friend and favorite

19:14

person in the world, sept Isabel,

19:17

Congratulations, that's great. I

19:20

don't know why we're not invited and all quite frankly,

19:22

but we've

19:25

been a Do you get wedding invites from listeners?

19:28

No, I haven't. I have ever been invited to

19:30

a listener wedding. Josh and I get him a lot.

19:32

That's nice. Then we always signed the card and

19:34

send it back with regrets. But one

19:37

of these days I might just fucking drop in on someone's way.

19:40

Wings are fun, all of especially after

19:42

COVID, Like that'll be just like an absolute breath

19:44

of fresh air, you know, with all the buffet stuff

19:47

and like the booze free booze and the maybe

19:49

you know you're married. I was gonna say, maybe I'll get laid but um,

19:52

that's uh, that's late. If you're

19:54

married. Well, I know you can chuck, but it

19:56

seems like it wouldn't be advisable. H

20:00

Yeah, I can't wait to sneeze on a buffet, can't

20:02

wait out We're without worrying about getting someone sick.

20:05

Yeah, exactly, great, uh

20:07

knocking wood Knoll two cod aside

20:10

Um. Partially it's because of that. I haven't

20:13

been sick. But the year previous, I guess,

20:15

twenty nineteen, I didn't get sick. So

20:17

I'm I'm working on my third year here

20:19

of not even having so much as a cold. Like

20:22

I usually get bronchitis once a year and

20:25

the stomach fly really bad once a year.

20:27

But twenty nineteen I was living, right,

20:29

I guess. Well, I think I told you that

20:31

I tested positive for the antibody and

20:34

the only time. Yeah, okay,

20:36

well I did, but listen, I was in

20:38

New York in in March, like

20:40

when the ship hit the fan, like right when everything,

20:42

and I was at a conference. Yeah,

20:45

but I was at this like on on on air conference

20:48

and it was like there was an email that came through

20:50

two weeks later, like Ira Glass was there,

20:52

like Michael Barbarrow was there, all these like big NPR

20:55

and podcast people were there. What's his name

20:57

black thought from the roots UM

20:59

and um tulib quality And

21:02

the email came through from the organizers two weeks later that there

21:04

had been multiple exposures there and

21:06

that people and then so I and that and I was

21:08

sick. I was already sick with that yearly bronchitis

21:11

you're talking about, So I didn't think anything of it,

21:14

but I didn't have so much as a sniffle the

21:16

rest of the year. And then I tested, you know, just wouldn't

21:18

got blood work, and they ran that test and they said

21:20

I had it, and you can have the anybody's last

21:22

as long as a year. They don't really know how long they stick

21:24

around. So that's the only exposure

21:27

event that I've had, and that had to have been at

21:29

UM. So yeah, so

21:31

you tested for antibodies recently, it

21:34

was like maybe like three months ago. Wow.

21:37

Yeah, all right,

21:39

let's finish up with Brandy

21:42

McDonald. How about this being back

21:44

in church. I direct our children's ministry

21:47

program and really miss working with the kids

21:49

directly. I'm glad that our church is chosen to

21:51

be virtual to keep our community safe,

21:53

but I can't wait until we are able

21:55

to be together again. Brandy,

21:58

that's great. I love it. I know, Uh,

22:00

church is important to a lot of people, and

22:03

having to give up that community has

22:05

been hard for a lot of people. So I

22:07

hope you get to get back to it soon. That's wonderful

22:09

for sure. All

22:19

Right, nol, We're gonna move on to a crusher post.

22:22

This is from Joel kron k

22:24

r a h N. And he asked this question,

22:27

Noel that I thought was really good. What

22:29

is the most obscure movie you've ever

22:31

seen? Like? Have you ever seen anything?

22:34

You would bet money nobody else is seen

22:36

in this group? Can you think of

22:38

I feel like you have some pretty obscure taste. I

22:40

do. I suppose let me let me

22:42

hear if you I'm crack my brain. Uh.

22:45

Tad Fouch says branded

22:48

and it sucked? Branded?

22:50

Is that a Western? Sounds like it must be an It

22:52

sounds like it could be Karen slumphughs

22:55

Wan of World Friends says old boy. But

22:57

I know you guys have seen it, all right,

22:59

And guess the question is most obscured movie you've

23:02

seen? It doesn't necessarily mean it's obscured

23:04

everyone, but it's obscure to Karen. Yeah,

23:06

I wouldn't. I would argue that Old Boys one

23:09

of the most mainstream Korean Well

23:12

that's not I don't know, like the cur

23:14

ship man of Korean director just won the fucking

23:16

Oscar last year, so I think that certainly

23:19

not as niche as it maybe once was. But when Old Boy

23:21

came out, it certainly was like under the radar, but

23:23

it got caught on. I mean, Spike Lee remade

23:25

it, which I think is ridiculous because

23:27

what are people afraid to read a subtitle or two?

23:30

That's true, that is true, nol.

23:33

But you know, like we said, that's uh, that's Karen's

23:35

take, so obscure to horror to horror,

23:38

horror obscure, So

23:41

that's so relative. I'm having

23:43

a hard time with that. Like you know, I

23:45

I we famously infamously when

23:47

I did the list game with you, I

23:50

listed a bunch of kind of movies

23:52

and they weren't obscure

23:54

to me. But I guess to know whether

23:57

something's obscure or now, you kind of have to compare it to like

23:59

other people knowledge, you

24:01

know, So I don't know, maybe

24:04

a movie objective, like you know, probably

24:06

some weird niche Asian

24:09

film, like, uh, like, well, I think

24:11

this is actually one that you had seen that Tetsuo

24:13

the Iron Man. You said you saw that in college, So

24:16

that is pretty obscared. I would say that's pretty scared.

24:18

Yeah, I agreed. Sophie Fowler says,

24:20

the Wizard of Speed and Time never

24:23

heard of it. Never heard of it in the

24:27

cover looks great. It looks like fucking

24:29

Josh was Shelley

24:31

Long. Google that

24:33

real quick and tell poster. Look

24:35

up the poster. I don't even

24:38

know who it is, but the points like a deranged

24:40

Josh in a wizard outfit. Oh

24:43

my god, it so does, doesn't

24:45

it. It so does a little bit. Yeah,

24:47

I love this poster though. It makes me. It makes me.

24:50

It gives me real like Phantom

24:52

of the Paradise vibes like that

24:54

kind of like schlocky sci fi,

24:56

weirdo Hollywood type thing.

24:59

Yeah, for sure it has a good soundtrack because I'm

25:01

seeing it on vinyl on discogs. Very

25:04

nice. You know about forty records

25:07

over Christmas? I probably did

25:09

too, but I don't know if I told you. What I've been doing is I've

25:11

been making a lot of music and I've

25:13

been sampling a lot from weird talking

25:15

about obscure. I go to thrift stores and

25:17

just dig through the you know, dollar record

25:19

binds, and I've been buying all these like weird,

25:22

niche Christian country records

25:25

from like the seventies that are all very

25:27

regional because clearly someone dies and then they

25:29

sell their whole collection to like goodwill or give

25:31

it to them, and so they'll be like, you know, all

25:34

you've probably seen these. They're always this family bands,

25:36

and they're always wearing the same identical suits,

25:38

and the women all have the same identical kind of beehive

25:41

haircut, and they're really high

25:43

production value obviously, record them in really nice studios

25:46

and great singing and just kind of gospel e. But

25:48

then I've also been getting a lot of like sound effects records,

25:50

like children's records, Like I got a really cool Alice

25:52

in Wonderland audiobook from like the

25:55

seventies, and sample it, get

25:57

an idea, make a little loop, and then build something around.

25:59

It's in a really fun way to get inspiration for for making

26:02

music. I love it. Look at you, Reggie Watts

26:04

hit me. Hayley q

26:07

Levin says Margie. One

26:10

of my favorite gene Crane movies.

26:13

Never heard of it, sounds obscure.

26:16

Jason Wallace, James Baker. Welcome

26:18

to the show, Jason Wallace, James Baker.

26:21

After struggling through The Master and Margarita

26:24

by Bolga Coff, I

26:26

watched the film version in my university

26:29

library. The large screen TV

26:31

opened to people passing by as I watched

26:33

full frontal nudity and cats

26:36

turning into people, very low budget.

26:38

I was even more confused than when

26:40

reading the book. I've never heard of that people

26:44

are talking about. No, no,

26:46

I started cats turning into people? What's the name of the movie?

26:49

Master and Margharita? What the hell? What

26:51

a name for a movie about cats turning into

26:53

people and full ferntal nudity? That is? That

26:55

sounds great? Uh? Kirsten

26:58

Talker says, possibly

27:01

Farnelli. Uh,

27:04

yeah, I know this movie. It's about

27:06

the Castrato singer. She

27:08

said, watched by myself in the Chanel

27:11

Theater, UNI, Queensland.

27:14

Four dollar student ticket. I

27:17

remember remember Farrannelly.

27:20

Never heard of it. These are all

27:22

very much under or over my radar.

27:25

Yeah, for sure. Christopher clearly

27:28

says, uh. Zerom

27:30

an old nineties Japanese sci fi action

27:32

horror film. Sounds like stright

27:35

here, Aliol, Yeah for sure, I

27:37

don't know that either. I'm writing all these down.

27:39

By the way, these all sound fun z R

27:41

z E I R A M zerom.

27:43

I can tell just from there. I know that word.

27:46

Old friend David

27:48

Barlow says The Castle. It's Australian.

27:52

I know that, And that's actually on Netflix. It's a fantasy

27:54

sword and sorcery type deal, I believe. Okay,

27:57

apparently see Lorimer chimed in and said

27:59

that it's a classic in Australia. I

28:01

love that. Let

28:03

me see here. Oh no, no

28:05

no, no, never mind, it's not I'm thinking of something

28:07

else. It. It looks like a comedy of

28:10

some sort called The Castle. Um.

28:13

It says it's this year's Full Monty.

28:16

What year was that? Remember the Full Monty? Chuck?

28:19

That was a fun movie. Um. Speaking of

28:21

which and music kind of related movies.

28:23

Last night, I watched head Vig for

28:26

the first time in probably a decade

28:28

last night with my with my lady friend

28:31

and it held up and John

28:33

Cameron Mitchell, you know, friend of the show. He

28:36

had texted me he's really you know, politically

28:38

active, and he texted me like a two in the morning

28:41

the night of the runoff, saying

28:43

like you good job, go Georgia or whatever

28:46

you know, and um, and then I texted him

28:48

back the next day. I hadn't heard anything. And

28:50

then right as we were watching this movie and she'd

28:52

never seen it, we kind of like we're just

28:54

like in the throes of like excited about this movie.

28:56

And then he text me back and then I was I was leading

28:59

out a few whiskeys, and I was like, can I call you

29:01

really quick? John? I just need to hear your voice. And we

29:03

chatted for a minute. And he's in l A right

29:05

now working on some stuff. But he's just the sweetest

29:07

man. I just absolutely adore that guy and

29:09

just so talented and lovely. That's

29:11

great when you called him and he go six

29:13

and just follow

29:14

and just exactly

29:18

now he did not, But that is my ring tone? Is

29:21

it really? No? But it would be a good one? Uh

29:25

tany boyd says Babes and toy Land the nine

29:28

one version, although knowing this group maybe not so obscure

29:31

the danger of and Gail Kant says, I would normally

29:33

say yes, but in this group, nah, she's

29:36

not even trying. That's lazy

29:38

Gail, just lazy. You

29:40

know what she did? She and her husband

29:42

sent me a home alone to Christmas

29:45

doves. Oh

29:47

that was that's the one you got from the Duncan's

29:49

toy chest. That's right. It was a very

29:52

very sweet gift. And she then heard

29:54

the episode after she sent

29:56

it. When I talked about how much I hated the movie

29:59

and felt bad about her, then I said, kunts,

30:02

that makes the gift better. It makes it funny

30:04

and fun Now when I look at that bird

30:06

on my tree, how much I hate that movie.

30:10

I thought it genuinely made it like a more fun

30:12

gift. So sure, yeah, I'm

30:14

sticking with it. Uh

30:16

and we got a shout out Aaron Cooper to coop

30:19

Um usually sends us uh

30:22

print outs large sort of FuMB core print

30:24

outs of the great photoshops that he

30:26

does of us, and those are great, but this year,

30:28

because of I think

30:30

shipping large things, he opted

30:33

to put together a hard

30:35

bound book that looks

30:37

identically like our stuff you should note book

30:40

and looks like a real book of

30:43

the photoshops that he did for us this

30:45

year, and it's amazing and

30:47

cool looking. I'll post a picture of it along

30:50

with a last Chance garage magnet and

30:52

a Jaws magnet and

30:55

uh it it made

30:57

me tear up. It was so great that Coop has

30:59

been such a good friend all these years, and uh

31:02

that he is so talented and took the time to put

31:04

the thing out. I need to send you a picture of it and all. It's

31:06

really really something else. I can't wait to see

31:08

it. I got a couple of really sweet messages

31:10

on Instagram over the holiday. Um

31:13

gosh, I'm so bad at like just thinking of

31:15

these on the spot and not remembering names. But it was a

31:17

listener who was just saying,

31:19

how like they appreciated my like

31:21

honesty about my you know, divorce

31:24

situation and like my my kid and all

31:26

that and and I'm sure you get to like that too, because

31:28

I think what I love about this show is I

31:30

am able to be open in

31:33

a way that I maybe would not be on like

31:35

stuff they don't want you to know because it's much more

31:37

like not that we're not fact driven, but that shows just

31:39

there's three of us, first of all, and we don't ever want to make it

31:41

like a Mimi situation. And it's when we get

31:43

personal here, we get personal. And I think that's part

31:45

of why the community is so uh

31:48

so great, because they I don't

31:50

know if when I hear from people telling me

31:52

that it's it's as meaningful to me as

31:55

I think the show is to them. And I

31:57

know that sounds like a platitude, but it really is the

31:59

truth. Yeah, I think it's. I

32:01

used to get emails a lot when I talked about being

32:03

a late bedwinter on stuff you should know, from

32:06

a lot of parents who said there to their

32:08

kids. Really, um, it

32:10

really helped to hear that, like someone they

32:12

look up to was like, I was a late bedwinter.

32:15

What are you gonna do? Uh?

32:17

And that made me feel really good. I

32:19

can't help it, you know, totally. I

32:22

went to bed till I was like eleven. That's

32:25

yeah. I mean I did till I

32:27

was not every night, but no, no, no, but I

32:29

did till I was probably about nine

32:32

or ten. Oh well, you were late bedwinter too,

32:34

alright, bed laid bedwetters unite. That's

32:37

right. We should sleep together and be on each other. Also,

32:39

one time that I used to sleep walk when I was younger.

32:41

At one time I slept walked into my dad's

32:43

room and Pete in his bedside

32:46

table drawer. Take that, dad.

32:51

Uh, yeah, that's different than the I've

32:53

never done this, but I've had heard stories

32:55

and had friends that that middle of

32:57

the night drunk and you get up and you like puke

32:59

in the claws said because he think it's a bathroom. Stuff

33:02

like that exact. Not not

33:04

a good look, no, Sirry. Jason

33:07

Furber says, Once We're Warriors, great

33:09

movie. Not sure how obscure it is, Jason.

33:12

You know, I think to a certain demographic it's fairly

33:14

obscure. I saw it um

33:17

and it was if you're from New Zealand obviously,

33:19

and even Australia. I think it's not obscure, but it's

33:22

not. It wasn't mainstream.

33:26

Let me see here. Once We're Warriors, great

33:29

movie. Nolar Diane about

33:31

the Maori people, modern day Maori

33:33

and modern day for whenever that was,

33:35

which was? I feel like it was like early

33:37

nineties, mid nineties. Diana

33:40

Merrill says, how about Mirror

33:43

Mask? Has anyone else seen

33:45

this creepy new game in film? Yeah,

33:47

it's it's it's not good. I wanted

33:49

it to be so good because it's it's actually not Neil

33:51

game in either. It's um Dave McKean,

33:54

who did the cover art for all

33:56

the Sandman comics, or for at least

33:59

the graphic novel collections,

34:01

and I'm pretty sure for the individual issues too. But he

34:03

does this really cool kind of collagi combination

34:06

of like would and actual photo

34:09

stuff and then also illustration. But this

34:11

movie it was sort of like a I don't

34:13

know, through the looking Glass kind of Alice in wonderlanding

34:16

type adventure, a little labyrinthy,

34:18

but it just had all this really bad,

34:20

funky look in c g I. And I just

34:22

couldn't get over that, and it it was just like,

34:25

I don't know something that I wanted to like it so much because I'm a

34:27

big fan of his work, but narratively and

34:29

and also with the visuals, it really struggled.

34:31

And it's so weird because he's such a

34:34

visceral artist in his like two D

34:36

work that I was surprised he decided to go so

34:39

uh like Uncanny Valley

34:41

c g I. It was very strange, but I

34:43

have seen it and I wanted to like it. Maybe I'll give another

34:45

shot, but I remember not liking it. And

34:48

by the way, Noel written by Neil Gaiman, so

34:50

it was written by. Okay, I thought for some reason, I didn't think. I

34:52

didn't think he he had written it. That's that

34:54

that makes sense. Great, everyone stop emailing

34:56

us on

34:59

air. Car Actions, it's happening. Peter,

35:02

come Comerford, Welcome to the show. Peter, don't

35:04

think I know you, says. Kitchen Stories

35:06

wonderful, little charming, quirky

35:09

foreign film.

35:12

I like kitchens and I like stories. Old

35:17

friend Caroline Gaston says, I don't

35:19

know how obscure it is, but it's hard to find

35:21

and definitely weird songs from the second

35:23

floor. Okay, I

35:25

never heard of it, have not.

35:28

All right, we'll call it obscure then. Uh,

35:31

Carly Pato van ni petit

35:34

says, or pettit says, p M

35:36

s cop hilariously horrible

35:38

horror. Oh

35:40

that sounds interesting. Uh.

35:43

Jennifer Lewis has the documentaries count Well?

35:45

Sure, I just watched Titty

35:48

Cut Follies today. It's about conditions

35:50

and a facility for the criminally

35:52

insane in Massachusetts around seven

35:55

TCM just premiered in and

35:57

it was practically banned for twenty years.

35:59

Yeah, that's one that Casey Pegram talked about

36:02

on a recent episode. He maybe not

36:05

No, it might not have been on movie cars, might

36:07

have been a ridiculous history. But I can't remember his name,

36:09

but it's a filmmaker who is known

36:12

for doing these really deep dives

36:14

into very specific kind of worlds, like

36:16

he just came yeah, Wiseman,

36:18

he just came out with one that did really well. It's

36:20

very very long, and it's about like local

36:24

like like government, like state

36:26

government or something like somebody that sounds really boring

36:28

on paper, but like it actually it's supposed

36:30

to be fantastic. It's called city Hall. I'm not mistaken.

36:33

M This titny cup always seems

36:36

really interesting and does not look

36:38

super fun. Yeah,

36:41

Casey mentioned that one is his like seminal work.

36:44

Really interesting. Alright, let's go

36:46

a few through a few more of these. Ellen

36:49

Da The Thief of Thief of Bagdad

36:52

nineteen forty version, Pam

36:55

guys Are says thou

36:58

wast mild and lovely. I

37:01

saw it at Two Stars

37:03

Film Festival in Denver and

37:06

it was weird. Stacy

37:09

Ellsworth has zero patients. A

37:11

movie about a movie musical

37:13

about AIDS. I never

37:15

heard of that. Nope.

37:19

Charles Martin nakers our old. This Palace is the crows

37:21

have eyes. I

37:24

haven't heard of that. There's a lot of obscure

37:27

stuff in here. Howdy Allowman says The Vertical

37:29

Ray of the Sun my absolute

37:31

favorite film. Vertical

37:33

Ray of the Sun. Do

37:36

you do not even bother spelling things right anymore? Because

37:39

you know it'll on your phone, it'll

37:41

find what you did.

37:44

I try. I didn't have a really clunky keyboard.

37:47

Um, it's like from the nineties or something, and it's like

37:49

terrible and it doesn't have a good actions, so I often

37:51

accidentally have the wrong key. So I do depend

37:53

on instant to help me out with that. Sure.

37:57

By the way, when I asked Joel if I could use this, he went hell

38:00

yeah. So I'm glad this is

38:02

makes you happy, Joel. Um,

38:05

all right, we'll do one more. Um, let me

38:07

see. John

38:09

B. McCarty says a guire The

38:11

Wrath of God, a German film about

38:14

a Spanish conquistare in Peru. What

38:16

happens by our boy Werner. It's

38:20

a Werner and it's stars it

38:22

stars Kinsky, and

38:25

he plays like a conquistador who ventures

38:28

into the Peru. He said. He says he

38:30

went to know. He went to Peru

38:32

to the heart of darkness to

38:35

find his inner something.

38:38

I don't. I should have thought this sounds better

38:40

before. But they have very

38:42

good wine and Oregon meat. And

38:44

I remember at the end of the film

38:47

he's on the rafts with a monkey

38:50

on his shoulder. That's

38:52

that's your one great invitation. I love it. I

38:54

got a I got a million of them. Man, you do one

38:56

more? Who's your next? Best? No? I don't, I'm

38:58

not a monkey. Him was Uber Dance.

39:02

I can, I can, I can do meat wide from Aquitine

39:04

hunger for us pretty well? No, And Dave

39:07

Willis is a friend. You know you better nail this us

39:10

little monk rob Uh, what's

39:12

out Homers? Where's my run on crewel wrung

39:16

crew? Come?

39:18

It's pretty fucking good, Nolan. I've

39:20

got to say that really surprised

39:23

me. It was weird seeing that voice

39:25

coming out of your face. You know, well

39:27

done. All right, we're gonna wrap that one

39:30

up and spanking on the bottom and uh,

39:32

we're leaving that up. Everyone that's on the Crushers page.

39:34

You can just words search Obscure

39:38

from the January third post if you want

39:40

to. If you want to get a nice list, go on of Obscure

39:42

movies that you want to check out, and

39:52

no, let's finish up with a little stream this. I

39:56

saw a couple of movies lately that I want to recommend

39:58

that I did post on the page what it's

40:00

called. First Cow. Oh God, that's

40:02

what I want to see. Made so many year lists.

40:05

Was it wonderful? It's wonderful, It's

40:07

really great. It is directed

40:09

by Kelly Reichert, and

40:12

she has put together quite a career making

40:14

these very small independent

40:18

films that are great, which

40:21

I think we both love. Old Joy

40:23

fantastic. I think that was our first one with

40:26

with will Oldham. But

40:28

First Cow is awesome. It is very she

40:30

She also makes these very realistic

40:34

period pieces

40:36

that don't feel like movies, and First Cow

40:38

was awesome. It's very heartwarming, and it's

40:40

a very sort of slow, very subtle story,

40:42

and it's just it's a movie like two days later,

40:44

you're like, well, am I still thinking about this movie?

40:47

One of those uh? And I also watched uh.

40:49

Emily and I watched all of this stuff together.

40:52

Um Portrait of a Lady on Fire, which

40:55

was one of the best movies I've seen in years. It

40:57

was fantastic. Oh my god, that's a that's a singing

41:00

uh praise there. I have to check that out. I've heard

41:02

the name and I love it, um, but I have

41:04

not seen it and I only had fantastic.

41:07

Yeah. Cool, don't tell me anything. I can't

41:09

wait to tell you. Don't have to know anything from twenty

41:11

nineteen. I think maybe in the States and

41:14

might be wrong, but from filmmaker Selene

41:17

uh Siama and I'm sure I probably mispronounced

41:20

that, but it's a French film subtitled

41:23

and great, great great. Um.

41:26

There's a bunch that I found out about at the end of

41:28

the year. There's a really great podcast called

41:30

film Spotting. If you haven't checked out, I highly

41:32

recommend it's uh some critics from Chicago.

41:35

One of them I think works for the Tribune and one of them

41:37

works for the other Chicago papers at the Sun Times.

41:39

UM. Anyway, really really smart. They

41:41

did really good like multifaceted

41:44

lists around different like categories, and they

41:46

all do really cool year end lists with like some of their

41:48

colleagues. And first Cow made the list a

41:50

lot and one a series

41:53

of films by a filmmaker that I love but need to spend

41:55

more time with Steve McQueen. UM. He

41:57

came out this year with like five film

42:00

elms, three of which I think are short on

42:02

the short side. But he calls it the Small

42:04

Acts series or something

42:06

like that. When one of them is called Mangrove, which

42:08

is the one that seemed to like they kind of broke them

42:10

out because they're all different. That seemed to make a lot

42:13

of people's top five. And then Lovers Rock,

42:15

Red, White and Blue, Alex Wheedle

42:17

and Education. Uh. And he did

42:20

it for the BBC And they all have different writers

42:22

and they're all surrounding. Um

42:25

A story stories around the West

42:27

Indian immigrant communities in London in

42:30

the sixties and seventies. UM.

42:32

And Steve McQueen, famous obviously for winning

42:34

all the Oscars for Twelve Years

42:37

of Slave. And also you know,

42:39

he made a couple of movies with Shame.

42:41

He did Shame, Yeah, he did Shame with Fossend.

42:43

He did another one with Fossbender two Hunger.

42:46

Yeah, that's the one where he's one of the ones where he

42:48

was really ashamed. The were the ones, the one where he's really hungry.

42:51

UM. If I'm not mistaken, Sorry

42:54

that was so dry that it sounds like I was being serious.

42:56

Um, But Yeah. I love Steve McQueen.

42:58

Loved the fact that he kept the name Steve McQueen

43:01

is his professional name. Uh, being

43:03

such a unique with his Hollywood

43:05

name. And then you know, now he's the other Steve

43:07

McQueen. But I really want to see that one that

43:09

I saw, and then I just adore his soul.

43:12

The new Pixar movie. Uh,

43:15

it made me feel Oh my god, Chuck, it made me

43:17

feel. You know, all those movies are like, you know,

43:20

like designed you know, from

43:22

the ground up to make you feel all the fields. But

43:24

this one rang particularly strong with me because

43:26

it's about passion and music. It's about

43:29

your life taking a slightly different path

43:31

than maybe you expected. You know, I

43:34

wanted to be a rock star or be like a

43:36

professional musician. That didn't happen.

43:38

Um, not that I can't still make music

43:40

and put stuff out and have a good time with it, but I

43:43

ended up finding my way to a career

43:45

where I can't actually reach people and and touch

43:47

people and connect with people. And that's really meaningful

43:50

to me, and I wasn't expecting that. Um. This movie

43:52

is about a similar kind of thing where it's like you think your head

43:54

in the one direction and that's your purpose, and then you

43:56

realize all along you were meant for this other thing, or

43:58

there really are no rules, and it's also just

44:00

really trippy and beautiful. Trent

44:02

Resident and Atticus Ross have been killing it,

44:04

by the way scores and

44:07

they're also different, and then Storry. Last one

44:09

is MANC the new David

44:11

Fincher movie. Oh

44:14

my god, that's what happened, my friend. It is

44:16

if you're which I know you are a student and

44:18

a lover of old Hollywood and

44:21

just all the names that you've heard, like Irving,

44:23

Jay Thalberg and like you know, all

44:25

these like you know producers that

44:27

like you know, made the movies

44:30

that you know made history basically like Wizard

44:32

of Oz and uh, all that kind

44:34

of stuff. Big, huge, like nostalgia blast,

44:37

but also funny and beautifully

44:39

shot. It looks just like an old movie from

44:41

like the fifties or sixties no more, only forties

44:43

or fifties. And the writing

44:45

is spot on. Gary Oldman as always

44:47

just slays it and uh, what's

44:50

your name from Big Love? Um?

44:52

Amanda Seyfried or Cy Freed

44:54

is absolute

44:57

just gorgeous, quirky,

45:01

funny, witty and just like absolutely

45:03

classic. Just got the goods and

45:06

this movie has got the goods. And this is probably easily

45:08

in my top three for the year. Yeah,

45:11

I h that was really high on my list

45:13

and I forgot about it. You know how that happens.

45:16

It does happen a lot of stuff out there. I need to

45:18

keep an actual list. Um. I

45:20

winded up with a TV wreck. There's

45:23

a show called Ted Latzo on

45:26

Apple that is stars

45:28

Jason Sadekis. It's a character he originated

45:31

for promo spots for the British Premier

45:33

Football League, the soccer league where

45:36

he is. This The

45:39

premise of the show is he is a American football

45:41

coach, kind of a country guy from Kansas

45:44

that gets hired to go

45:46

to London and coach a Premier

45:48

League soccer team. Uh. If you've

45:51

ever seen the baseball movie Major League, it's

45:53

a bit of a play on that and that. Um,

45:55

the lady who hires on the team owner wants the

45:57

team to fail. And that's kind of

46:00

all I'll get into, but it is. Uh.

46:02

Some movie crushers recommended it as something

46:04

light and fun and heartwarming. I

46:07

didn't know what to expect. Not the

46:09

biggest soccer fan, Emily couldn't care less about

46:11

soccer. We both like Sadakis

46:13

well enough, but it's not like we're like,

46:15

oh my god, it's got Jason Sidekis, we gotta see it.

46:17

We're just like sort of down lately for

46:20

a lot of reasons and wanted

46:22

something that filled us up. And Ted Lasso

46:25

is fucking great.

46:27

Thirty minute episodes, ten episodes.

46:29

We watched it in a week. It is funny,

46:32

it is heartwarming, it is charming,

46:35

and just a wonderful show

46:38

with a lot of heart. Really really caught us off guard.

46:40

Uh, and I loved every bit of it. It was really really

46:42

great. So highly recommend Ted Lasso.

46:45

Uh. It looks and sounds like they're set up for a

46:48

three season run. Uh story

46:50

wise, and uh, I just just

46:52

can't wait. Um. It's one of those things where

46:54

like it finished and

46:57

we were immediately like shit, like

46:59

I want I want to watch it again, not

47:02

that I want to watch season two. Like there's

47:04

something to be said for waiting for something to be

47:06

done so you can fully satisfy yourself

47:08

instead of having to wait however

47:11

many years, because the same thing happened with

47:14

with The Great that show I was talking about

47:16

about Castine The Great It ended in,

47:18

you know, because of COVID, like it's in in the production

47:21

schedule, it might be too

47:23

goddamn years before that season two comes out.

47:26

That's a big old production right at any period piece

47:28

like that. Yeah,

47:31

I mean maybe they can push it out this year, but

47:33

I would be very surprised. But yeah,

47:35

the Great and Ted Lasso great shows.

47:40

Well, I've got some stuff to add to my list, secure

47:43

stuff, nice

47:45

TV pick. They're um really

47:47

excited to see first cow um.

47:49

Great to be back man. Uh seeing

47:51

you in a new year of crushing. Absolutely

47:54

so. UH had to bean he's off

47:57

to you and uh

47:59

being he's off to everyone out there. I was about

48:01

to doff my hat to you, and then I realized you were referring

48:04

to the fact that I'm wearing a beanie which does not have a

48:06

brim. I reached for a phantom brim

48:08

to duck to doff my hat, and it was I

48:10

came up with nothing. Yeah, I got

48:13

my beanie. I don't call these beanies. I don't know why I'm saying

48:15

that. What do you call these? I call him? From

48:17

being a child, I called the toboggan caps.

48:20

You say nit cap, I say toboggan

48:22

cap. From when I was a kid. But everyone just calls

48:24

them beanies, right, But toboggan hats have

48:26

the little flaps that hang down on the side with

48:29

the s I'm just telling you what we called

48:31

it. I'm not saying we are right. I'm just all

48:34

right, technically

48:36

have those. I don't know what it's I thought toboggan

48:38

was a sled. It is

48:40

toboggan cap. Well, I'm

48:43

seeing both. I'm seeing those little brim cats

48:45

with the ear flaps, and I'm also seeing seeing

48:47

beanies. I have one of those. Yeah,

48:51

wait, no, no, no no, no, never mind. I have one that looks like

48:53

it should be worn by some sort of like wilderness explorer,

48:56

Like it's made of wolf's pelts, and it has the

48:58

big flaps and then like the rush and kind

49:00

of like sing the fur in the front,

49:02

you know, the comrade version.

49:05

And it just typed into bogg and Cap for

49:07

sale to see what was out there. And the first thing

49:09

I see is like three Confederate

49:11

flag beanies. So I might buy those

49:13

to throw them in the fire nool fair get

49:16

a little kindling going gets you? Yeah, man, we

49:18

all need fuel pele swarm up. This

49:20

season. It's been chili lately. Man, it has

49:23

it's cold to ship. My feet are freezing right now, so I'm gonna

49:25

go warm them up in the microwave and

49:27

uh, we'll see everyone next week. It's good to be

49:29

back, yeah, man, Yeah. This
