I don't know that song well enough to do the

1:18

backups. I'm sorry I left you hanging there. I wasn't

1:21

on purpose. That's right. We'll get

1:28

Oh gosh, my favorite

all time segments. All right. No, I

1:33

tried to even further

1:35

embarrass you by doing a nineties edition.

1:38

See if I can get you, Chuck. I

1:40

you do realize I come out of these most of the time looking

1:43

pretty okay. I don't feel like it's you

1:45

do great. In fact, I don't think you've ever been stymied.

1:47

I don't think you've ever gone below fifty. Yeah, but you said

1:49

you said you were going to embarrass me, Chuck. Well

1:51

that's my goal, all right, all right,

1:54

I'm gonna yes column in a no column with

2:16

inside scoop and I think you already NW this on how to how

2:18

to get me? Uh is romantic

2:21

comedies, Chuck. I have a massive black

2:23

hole in my uh my

2:25

movie watching habits for romantic

2:28

comedies. Alright, so hopefully this isn't rife with

2:30

those, because you will you will best me, sir.

2:32

What I did was I just like I do. I

2:34

do a variety of films. No, uh,

2:36

ten things I hate about you though. No is a good

2:38

movie. Okay, it's quite charming.

2:41

Who's the female love interest? It's

2:44

uh, it's picturing Julia

2:48

Styles. Yeah, she's great. I don't see enough of her anymore.

2:51

I think she's good. Yeah she she was so

2:53

funny and uh stayed

2:55

in Maine. I haven't seen them

2:58

on the list in the nighties. Should pay

3:01

alright. No. Number two. Yeah, I'm sure you've

3:03

probably seen this space Jam, space

3:06

Jam, the movie, no Space

3:08

Jam, the Broadway show. Now I saw, well,

3:10

I saw a space Jam on ice kick

3:13

That would be great, though, I would love that. Wouldna

3:15

be cool? Basketball players on skates

3:17

dunking it out there on the on the ice.

3:20

Yeah. I saw in the theaters, of course, and I actually

3:22

met I did see it. I also

3:24

I met um Michael

3:27

Jordan. No, but the guy,

3:29

well, yes, the guy who did bugs his

3:31

voice in Space Jam. Who's Billy

3:34

West, who was a legendary voice actor.

3:36

He did like rend and stimpy and doug

3:38

funny and he did uh oh

3:40

he does um fry on Futurama.

3:43

That is what his actual voice sounds. Um.

3:45

But he did Bugs Bunny on

3:48

Space Jam and that's the only Bugs Bunny he's

3:50

ever done. But I met him. It's very very cool.

3:52

It's kinda cool. Would you met him? We did this Cartoon

3:55

Network Partnership podcast and

3:58

he was one of the folks we interview for like

4:00

the voice acting episode. Very

4:03

very good guy. Did you do voices for you in person? So

4:05

many? He was so so he did the

4:07

wren scream like the

4:10

you eat idiot and then the stimpy I

4:14

can't even do it. I can't even get my voice

4:16

to that level. And he had to go so far off

4:18

Mike to do it, and he knew exactly what he was doing. Was

4:21

fantastic. I love it, bro Alright. No Number

4:23

three Boys in the Hood. I

4:26

can't cop to that because I've I've only

4:28

seen it in snippets, all right. No

4:31

Number four, Babe two,

4:33

Pig in the City, Nope, saw Babe

4:35

one though, that's

4:38

another No. Uh No, the

4:41

great great film l A Confidential.

4:44

Yes, I've seen that multiple times.

4:47

That was late nineties. Uh. I

4:50

want to say turn of the turn of the nineties,

4:54

turn of the century. Exactly. Uh

4:56

cruel intentions, Yes,

5:00

yes, that sounded if he Yeah,

5:02

now that's with what's her face? Uh Sarah

5:05

Michelle Gellar. Ye all

5:07

right, yeah, I've seen that. Good movie quite

5:11

like that. Uh the talented

5:13

Mr Ripley real

5:15

creepy roll for for damon. Yeah,

5:19

no spoilers there, but it's a good movie. Yeah

5:21

he gets he gets a little stalkery. No

5:24

spoilers. Uh no.

5:27

The movie fifty four about

5:29

Studio fifty yeah, with Mike Myers. Yeah,

5:31

you saw that. I did see that, all right. I don't think

5:33

that was remembered very fondly. Uh

5:36

No, I don't think it was thought of as being a very

5:38

good film, But I remember I remember thinking

5:40

it was. I was young enough

5:42

with at the time where I was like I felt like a little

5:45

naughty for seeing it because it was like I had a lot of

5:47

thin and stuff. He wasn't

5:49

that. Yeah, it was sort of like the less good

5:51

Boogie Knights, Like it was trying to jump off

5:54

what Boogie Knights had accomplished. I think you're right, and

5:56

it just wasn't that. Yeah.

5:59

That's a shame too. There should be a good Studio

6:01

fifty four movie. Mike Myers wore a weird prosthetic

6:03

nose or something in it too. I see, yeah, he played

6:06

I can't remember the guy's name. Yeah. Uh,

6:08

the owner though, the real life the

6:11

people versus Larry Flint. No, yeah,

6:14

I remember Courtney Love plan

6:16

a very Courtney love esque figure in that movie.

6:19

No. The Gwyneth Paltrow Ethan

6:21

Hawk version of Great Expectations. Yep.

6:24

I saw that You're Killing It man. That

6:27

was a big soundtrack movie too. That was like

6:29

one of those at the time when people still bought

6:31

movie soundtracks for the songs,

6:34

like not the score, because it was like a curated

6:36

thing, and it had a

6:38

pulp song on it called Like a Friend

6:40

that I still very much enjoy I like that

6:42

movie, It Gets Back. I thought it was good.

6:44

It's good. Uh, let me see

6:46

here, Absolute Power Nol

6:49

Clint Eastwood, I

6:52

don't remember. I'd say that I'm gonna have

6:54

to give it a no. The

6:57

western modern western

7:00

comedy Maverick,

7:03

Yes, yes, Poker Poker movie. I

7:05

didn't see it with Jodie Foster

7:08

and James Uh.

7:11

Yeah, Ship Games

7:14

from the Notebook and Rockford

7:17

Files, Yeah, exactly. And The

7:20

Great Escape what is his last name? James

7:22

Garner Garner. Yeah, yeah, I really liked

7:24

that movie. No You, you have virtually locked

7:26

this one in the bag at this point. The

7:28

movie the Robert Altman Classic Shortcuts.

7:31

I have not okay in that one. The

7:35

Alec Baldwin Kim Basinger film Where

7:37

They Met. I believe the Marrying Man,

7:40

absolutely not. M The NDEs

7:42

are catching up. Uh The Gangster

7:46

Johnny Depp Gangster film, Donnie Brasco.

7:49

I saw Donnie Brasco. I figured, what

7:51

the fun talking do? I saw Donnie

7:53

Brasco. Fuck you? Isn't

7:55

he like a mole? He's like a secret like he's

7:59

like posing as a gangsters,

8:02

he's under cover. Idn't remember that was a good movie. Uh?

8:05

No, The Full Monty. I loved

8:07

The Full Monty. Of course you did. I actually

8:10

remember seeing that in New York at

8:12

like some little art house theater when it came out

8:14

when I was a kid with my mom oheez

8:18

No, The Tom Cruise and Nicole

8:21

Kidman, Ron Howard Epic far

8:23

Intoway. I did see that in the theaters. You're

8:25

crushing I found I found it very

8:28

boring. As a child rushing the nineties,

8:30

I thought I might have you with that one. Uh.

8:32

The Eddie Murphy Steve Martin

8:35

film Bow Finger. Yeah, I saw

8:37

that in the theaters too. Boom,

8:39

you're killing it. I knew you would. Yeah. Two

8:42

more. No, you've got this one locked up. Uh.

8:45

In fact, this is your best performance yet. I

8:48

love. I love a slow start and then a redemption

8:50

story. You know, sure you're like you had

8:53

one of those when I did Chucks holes Man, I

8:55

thought there was no way I was going to get barely

8:58

got it? Uh? The Ashley Judd

9:00

film Double Jeopardy. Yes, of course

9:04

it doesn't. It doesn't. It rely on

9:06

the false notion that you can't be convicted

9:08

of a crime twice or something like that. I

9:11

think that's true. Well, it is true, but I think the way they

9:13

presented in the movie is not quite true.

9:15

That doesn't hold up to legal I believe that's

9:17

the case, if I'm not mistaken. I feel like that movie has been

9:19

ragged on for that question

9:21

for you real quick, Chuck, I say ragged on, you

9:24

say bagged on. Are both of them

9:26

acceptable? Or Am I just saying something that

9:28

is totally nonsensical? Uh?

9:30

To me, there are two different things. When I'm ragging

9:32

on someone, I'm kind of teasing them. If

9:34

I'm bagging on someone, I'm saying they suck.

9:37

Oh, so ragging is a little more lighthearted

9:39

version of bagging. Yeah, like I rag on you, but

9:41

I'm not gonna bag. Just make it say Okay,

9:44

that's we've clarified that. That was important.

9:46

That's my interpretation. I think that's accurate. I

9:48

was making sure that I when I was saying ragging that

9:51

that is something people say. Sure cool,

9:53

especially in the nineties, making sure I'm normal, which

9:55

is where well, I gotta take the I

9:57

gotta take the temperature of the room sometimes chuck. Uh.

10:01

And then finally, no, we'll finish it out strong. I

10:03

think you've probably seen the great Spike Lee

10:05

true crime film Summer of Sam I have

10:08

with the Talking Dog. All right, final

10:10

score, uh, fourteen to

10:13

six. Noel crushes

10:15

the nineties as expected, Thanks

10:17

dude. And now we will go

10:20

to a message break. Let's do it. All

10:29

right, we're back. I've never done that before.

10:31

Well, I'm gonna make a note in here for Ramsey so

10:33

he doesn't have to find that break this time.

10:35

Well, you gonna be funny as if Ramsey put

10:37

the message break somewhere else and then

10:39

like it just had this awkward boss that would

10:41

be fine but not

10:44

very efficient. So I am going to make the note all

10:46

right, No, We're gonna move on and finish up with two social

10:48

studies. Social

10:50

studies movie two

10:54

Good Ones. One is called the saddest

10:56

movie scene ever, and

10:59

here we go, Ryan Zach says

11:02

in The Fox and the Hound when Copper

11:04

bounces away in the back of a truck as Todd

11:06

looks onward, but they never get to see

11:08

their best friend again. Should we do a blanket

11:11

spoiler alert for this because I feel like sometimes the

11:13

saddest scene in a movie is going to be a spoiler.

11:15

Yeah, blanket spoilers every blankets spoilers

11:17

for any potential movie.

11:19

Good call Um Jimmy

11:22

Cachandal says, hands down, the first ten minutes

11:24

of Up, everyone says that

11:26

good God people love loved to

11:29

know? Yeah, I love I guess I mean are just are

11:31

are moved in an uncomfortable

11:33

way by that? Or yeah, they should use that. You know,

11:35

when they do crying studies, they

11:37

hook up little uh containers

11:39

under your eyes to catch your tears and

11:42

they show you said shit, and

11:45

they should totally use that. That would be good and the

11:47

reason I know this is because growing up I saw a spectral

11:50

spectral on sixty

11:52

minutes or something where they did a crying

11:54

study. And this was when I was young. So they

11:57

showed the movie Brian's Song, about

12:00

the true story of a football

12:03

player who dies young. It

12:06

was known as like the saddest movie of all time. Really

12:09

said, yeah, yeah, it was Jimmy con and

12:12

oh who played Gail Sayers? I

12:15

can't remember. Is that the one where he says, take

12:17

one for the gipper, Do give me one for the gipper?

12:20

No, no, that's no, that's not a thing. It is

12:22

a thing. That is the thing. I believe it's Jimmy

12:24

Stewart that says that. Uh,

12:27

all right, let's go to Brittany story. And here's

12:30

what I'm going to admit. I don't even know what film

12:32

you're talking about here, but eight people

12:34

up liked it or sad faced it. When

12:37

our tax do you know who

12:39

that is? Yeah, it's the never ending story, dude,

12:42

of course, drowns in the swamps

12:44

of sadness, sinks into the swamps when

12:46

our tax slowly sending to the swamp of sadness,

12:49

and uh a tray you realizes

12:51

he can't save him from his own sadness. You

12:53

have to try, you have to care. That scene is likely

12:55

the first trauma that anyone born in the seventies eighties

12:57

experienced. No, that movie in general is

13:00

full of those moments, but that one is is a

13:02

crusher. I never saw that. Can you believe that? Yeah,

13:05

it seems Oh that was eight four,

13:07

I was thirteen. It

13:09

would have been really Yeah, it's not. It's I mean it's

13:11

a kind of an intense like fantasy.

13:14

You know, there's a lot of like violence, and I

13:16

mean, yeah, thirteen would have been just about right. Any

13:19

younger than that would almost be too much.

13:21

Billy Crystals in and he plays a weird bat kind

13:23

of creature guy. Not really. Yeah, it's

13:25

good tim Castro a toy story too,

13:28

to Jesse's backstory, accompanied

13:30

by the Sarah McLaughlin song When She Loved Me.

13:33

Man, this is just bumming me out. Everybody.

13:36

Those toy story movies are sad.

13:38

Yeah, yeah, I don't even know. I mean, Ruby has

13:40

already seen a couple of them. But didn't you say

13:42

she was made a comment about it or something. Maybe it wasn't

13:44

that when he said something like which one something made her sad?

13:46

And it made her real sad. Was I don't

13:49

remember, it doesn't matter. I don't care,

13:53

you bastard. Oh Joe Herndon.

13:57

Uh God in Forrest Gump when

14:00

uh Tom Hanks meets

14:02

his son and asks if he's smart? Yeah,

14:04

oh god, he just triggered me just now.

14:08

I can't take it. No, I don't know if I'm gonna get through this segment.

14:10

Isn't that a little Haley Joel Osmond too little

14:14

baby Haley Joel little bb Hailey?

14:17

Uh Don m Lozano says

14:19

Ricky Schroeder in the Champ when

14:22

the Champ dies. Man, this is

14:24

also sad? Does that give

14:26

him one for the Gipper? No? Yes, it

14:28

was. Um

14:32

let me see, you're gonna look that ship up, runchy

14:34

noll. I think it was like

14:37

a Ronald Reagan movie. That's exactly

14:39

what it was. He was the Gipper yep,

14:41

And there right he's the GIPPA win

14:43

one for the Gipper. Our

14:46

old friend, the Mudge Jennifer Mudge says, obviously

14:48

the scene in Dumbo with a mom

14:51

and she's in the cage thing and their

14:53

trunks are wrapped together. Why on

14:55

earth is this a kid's movie? I'm still heartbroken.

14:59

Yeah, man, they will, they will destroy you

15:01

as a child. Megan

15:04

Rosen boss as the funeral scene from My

15:06

Girl. He can't see without

15:08

his glasses. I

15:10

had a realization the other day. I've been

15:12

really loving the show Veep. Have you seen Veep?

15:15

I watched all of Veep. It was a huge

15:18

plastic It's so funny and smart

15:20

and sharp. That's writing on TV while

15:22

it was on is incredible. It's still on right

15:24

now. There's in the last season. Is this

15:26

is it? Yeah? You're watching it though, right? Yeah? Currently?

15:28

Yeah? Great saying

15:30

it's over now it gets how it felt. Um.

15:33

But no, the Anna Klumsky, who

15:35

is the super snarky

15:37

like chief of staff, that is

15:39

my girl. She is my girl. Did

15:41

you know that? I didn't know that until he's

15:43

like, I was sorry. I was saying, like, it's some revelation. I

15:46

didn't realize that. So you didn't realize she

15:48

was in Veep or you didn't connect the dots. I didn't connect the

15:50

dots until pretty recently. Yeah.

15:53

I mean it's a hiatus, like she didn't do anything

15:55

for a long time. I think she went to college. Good

15:57

good, good job. When you say she didn't do anything you

15:59

mean acting wise, didn't do the most vapid

16:02

job on earth, which is exactly uh,

16:06

when Ruth dies and fried green tomatoes. That's

16:09

from Eric Montana. That

16:11

was pretty pretty sad. Our old

16:13

friend Lilian Rolf says the end of Grave

16:15

of Fireflies, Oh my god,

16:18

I don't know this movie it is. It's

16:20

not a Miyazaki movie, but it is

16:22

a Studio Ghibli movie. I don't know

16:24

what any of these did. He's

16:27

he's like the the Walt Disney of Japan. He did, Like

16:29

what Studio Ghibli, that's his studio. It's

16:31

like with the Disney of Japan. It's like that

16:33

big they made incredible animated

16:36

films he did. Uh, Like Princess Mononoke

16:38

was like all of his pretty big

16:40

in the States. They've all been dubbed by like celebrity

16:42

voices and all that. Um. But Great

16:45

of the Fireflies about uh,

16:47

either Nagasaki or Hiroshima, like one

16:49

of the cities where you know

16:51

the atomic bomb was dropped and it

16:53

follows girl and her I'm

16:56

sorry, a boy and his little sister as

16:58

they're kind of separated from their emily and

17:01

then just like kind of going through trying to survive

17:03

in this like post practically

17:05

post apocalyptic, she han. And

17:08

it's not gruesome exactly,

17:11

it's not graphic and the way you'd think, But it just it

17:14

plants these seeds emotionally and then it

17:16

just kind of twists the knife. It's

17:19

really really powerful and it's beautiful.

17:21

It's not like upsetting sad.

17:23

It's like cathartic sad. It's really I'm

17:26

I'm about to tear up just talking. It's incredible.

17:28

Chuck, we're sensitive, snol. Joshua

17:31

in Men actually seconded said Grave

17:33

of Fireflies. The whole movie. What a downer,

17:35

he says. Um Amy

17:37

Ball says in Lord of the Rings, colon

17:39

f O t R. Whatever that means, I'm

17:44

just kidding f O t R. Fellowship of the Ring.

17:46

I don't Yeah, I'm just being coy.

17:48

Let me guess. She the Satta scene in that movie

17:50

is the first scene of the first movie, is my

17:52

my Guts, which one Lord

17:54

of the Rings, the first scene of the first movie is the Satta scene.

17:57

Because that means it started. That's very

17:59

good. Check, that's very good. Uh

18:02

No, Amy Ball, I'm just kidding, she says. When Boromir

18:04

dying says, I would have gone with

18:06

you, my brother, my captain,

18:09

my king. Yeah,

18:12

well

18:15

are lovely shock. I do agree

18:17

that the last one is about movies

18:19

length too long, you know, or you know it's

18:21

it's too long, But I think they're good

18:23

movies. Our old friend Luis Silva,

18:26

when Mickey dies in Rocky three, Mickey

18:29

Mouse will come on? Is

18:31

this get out? Okay? I'm gone. I'm

18:35

probably gonna get sued by Disney just for uttering

18:37

those words. Oh you, thank you, just for speaking

18:39

the name of the mouse. They're gonna come

18:41

after all your money. It will come down on me like

18:44

the hammer of the gods. Uh.

18:47

Don Morris, our old friends, says the dad's

18:49

speech at the end of calling me by your name.

18:52

Yeah, boy, that's

18:55

that's that's great. I've heard it's good. It's

18:57

it's really great, very

19:00

very good movie, very moving. Sherry

19:02

Jones terms of endearment. Good lord. When

19:04

the kids come in and say goodbye to their mom. Ah,

19:09

holy sh it. I was sad when I came up with this

19:12

post last night, and all that's why I did it. Where

19:14

were you sad, Chuck? Where are you saying? Just

19:17

life life stuff, life

19:19

stuff? Uh? And I when

19:21

I'm sad noll. I don't

19:23

want to be cheered up. I like to wallow in that totally.

19:26

I will listen to the Smiths, I will feel sad,

19:28

and I will just drink it in. It

19:30

feels good to feel sad. So there's a thing my

19:33

girlfriend told me about. She comes from

19:35

a therapy background. It's called toxic

19:37

positivity. It's when someone's

19:39

feeling sad and all you do is try to

19:42

pause them up, you know, and try to make them

19:44

feel better. But you but by doing

19:46

that, sometimes you are diminishing

19:49

the validity of their sadness, by saying

19:52

like, oh, just be happy, it's easy, just

19:54

figure it out here, just let me let me parents,

19:57

generation and beyond. There's a lot of that. We

19:59

call it Leanna in our house, like

20:02

just trying to like, oh, well, just don't let

20:04

it bother you. I'm guilty of doing that sometimes

20:06

to to folks. I think I'm helping. But she kind

20:08

of told me about this, it's not. It's concept,

20:10

and I realized, no, sometimes you just have to be there and listen

20:13

and just let people go through their stuff

20:15

and just let them know that you're there for them if they need

20:17

do, but not like try to change them or fix

20:20

them. Yeah, I think a man's

20:22

um men often try to fix things

20:25

um and that's why I

20:27

think men sometimes aren't the best listeners in relationships

20:30

because they're just go into like, well what can

20:32

I do to make this right mode? When

20:34

I think women are more prone to be like, let's

20:36

stick into this. Why why are we sad? This

20:39

is psychology one oh one with Nolan

20:41

Chuck. Yeah,

20:43

I like feeling sad sometimes, and I should

20:46

say that I've never suffered

20:48

from depression or anything like that. That is a real

20:50

deal thing that I'm not making light of saying

20:52

like it's fun to feel sad, So I

20:54

don't know what that's like. Uh, I'm a happy person.

20:57

So when I feel a range of them

21:00

sans, it's good for me. Absolutely. I I in

21:02

generally am too, And I have sometimes wonder

21:04

and it's not so cut and dry whether or not you quote unquote

21:07

have depression, because it's like a it's a spectrum, you know,

21:09

it's like a scale. And I've sometimes

21:11

wondered if I do sometimes, But then can I see

21:13

people who really really have it? And I'm like, oh no, no, I don't

21:15

have it like that. So it's just I think sometimes

21:18

just the human condition is sometimes

21:20

not being happy of the time.

21:22

You know what I mean? Life

21:25

stuff. Man Ben

21:27

Emerson says when Bowen has to kill

21:30

Draco at the end of Dragonheart, I

21:33

didn't see that film. I don't

21:35

know that film. Ian Lyon says

21:37

the end of Dear Zachary, Oh, good god,

21:40

all of Deer Zachary. Ian, that's

21:43

what I say. That's a documentary,

21:45

right, yeah, just yeah. My friend tot

21:48

who you I think? No, he we worked with this on some stuff.

21:51

He recommended that as just like the

21:53

quintessential best emotionally

21:57

training documentary itself, one

22:00

of the things where you're just like, how much can one family

22:02

take? You know, real

22:05

real stuff? Everybody, Um,

22:07

let me see here. Um.

22:11

Scott Field says Dead

22:14

Baby and Titanic. I

22:17

don't remember a dead baby. Don't recall

22:19

a dead baby. Was it

22:22

like a floater like, oh

22:24

god, I'm sorry

22:28

there we are folks rock Bottom. Wait

22:30

a minute, no, no, no, no, I do remember doesn't

22:33

wait wait wait wait, doesn't maybe like

22:35

the mother like a mother kill her baby

22:37

or something. I'm

22:41

just gonna google dead Baby Titanic. I

22:45

think the scene in Titanic that has

22:48

traditionally wrecked people. Is the old couple who

22:50

curl up together as the water is

22:52

coming in the room. That

22:55

was pretty tough. He's

22:57

a floater really, Yeah, it's dead

23:00

um and holding dead baby underwater.

23:02

Really, there's a picture, there's

23:04

an image. All right, we want to take it all back. And

23:07

she's all they're they're both all pale and GHOSTI

23:10

looking, well you

23:12

know what that means. No, they've just descended to heaven.

23:14

Yeah, it's all good. Speaking

23:17

of Pollyanna. Um,

23:21

all right, let's just do a couple of more, because good

23:23

gods, this is a farmer Jill sort

23:25

of Vindon says of mice and men, any

23:27

version when Lenny has to be killed,

23:32

that's tough. Tough books.

23:35

Look at the rabbits and bunnies, a lot

23:37

of people on grave of fireflies and all. I gotta check that

23:39

out like a good sad movie.

23:41

Oh it's so good, Chuck and you if you haven't seen

23:43

any of those Ghibli movies or any of those Miyazaki

23:46

films. There's one called The Wind Also Rises

23:48

that I actually haven't seen. But it's about the invention

23:50

of like the airplane in Japan,

23:53

like their versions, and like for military purposes,

23:55

and how it's all about like this guy who

23:57

just loves the idea of flight and then how his

24:00

dream is kind of co opted into turning it into like a

24:02

war machine. And it's like that whole juxtaposition.

24:04

But he is a genius guy,

24:07

Miyazaki. I gotta check it out. All

24:09

right. Now, we're gonna finish up this week with

24:12

something We're going to continue because we got a

24:15

lot of engagement here. Um,

24:19

I don't have a name for this, so I'm gonna call it. You

24:22

call that a tip, No forgetna

24:24

have music for that, but that's what we're gonna call

24:26

this. No, And this is home

24:29

movie viewing tips. This is like

24:31

a very practical um bit.

24:33

We're gonna do stuff that

24:35

people may not know. And I said, from lighting and sound

24:37

to mood setting, popcorn whatever.

24:40

Uh And I used an example. Here's my tip everyone,

24:43

um, very simple, put backlight

24:45

your TV. Put a light behind your TV. That's wild

24:48

to meat Chuck, I would find that distracting. I think,

24:50

no, no, it is great. Yeah, a backlit

24:52

screen is enriches the experience.

24:54

So when you like, what kind of light, like a liquage,

24:57

the lamp, uh, well anything

24:59

really, But I just have a simple little can light that

25:01

points up, so you don't

25:03

know, you just see like a little bit of splash

25:05

of light on the on the wall behind splash

25:07

of light on the wall. And you go to a movie theater,

25:09

you will notice all kinds of side lighting and

25:12

back lights. That's very true. For a reason. That's very

25:14

true, so you can make your way around. I

25:16

was wondering that actually the other day I was in a movie and it

25:18

was a little brighter than I was used to with those side

25:20

wall sconces or whatever, and

25:23

then I that makes a lot of sense. Chuck

25:25

yep. So that's my tip. No, do you

25:27

have any I don't

25:29

know. I just um,

25:32

I I don't have any particularly. I

25:34

mean I like the light to be controlled.

25:37

I just got some of those Phillips huge

25:39

smart lights, the you know, the Bluetooth

25:42

controlled light bulbs the change color. So

25:44

I've been building some looks kind of

25:46

like lighting wise for different moods. So I'm

25:48

actually haven't tried this out yet, but I'm thinking

25:51

some kind of low colored

25:53

wash might be nice to set the

25:55

mood in the room a little bit. So what are the bulbs?

25:58

They are these bulbs you can just screw

26:00

into any lamp or what's the system

26:02

that just called Q by Phillips,

26:05

and you have an app on your phone that you can literally

26:08

you however many lights you have in the system.

26:10

I think it's up to like six or something. You can

26:12

set different zones there canna be like living room or

26:14

bedroom or whatever, and you can make these

26:16

scenes where you are different combinations of the balls

26:18

that can be whatever color and intensity you want. And

26:21

it's also Alexa controls. You can say Alexa.

26:23

Wait, sorry, anyone who has an Alexa you can say

26:26

schmal Alexa turn on. You

26:28

know color Wash number six or

26:30

you know Tropical Paradise or whatever.

26:33

It's really really cool. I think you dig it. And it comes

26:35

with a bag of weed. Totally does. Champ

26:38

Rasado says this. I recently went all out got a

26:40

four K projector and ants

26:43

screen and honestly changed my life.

26:46

I also own a real deal popcorn maker.

26:50

Yeah, there's something to be said for that projector. Man, my

26:52

brother's got quite a home theater.

26:56

I don't. I don't even think my brother goes to the movies anymore.

26:58

Maybe occasionally, but he's got such a nice

27:00

scene down there. He did it upright. Black

27:03

curtains surrounding the screen, the whole deal. Let

27:06

me see. Justin Michael says, popcorn with

27:08

brown butter, fresh, most rosemary.

27:12

We're mosseary and parmesan

27:16

and a good uh bourbon barrel

27:18

stout. Wow, Justin

27:21

Michael doing it up. Brown

27:23

butter, brown butter.

27:25

That is some schmancy popcorn

27:27

right there. Yeah, you know what, I like,

27:30

a little nutritional yeast on

27:32

popcorn. It sounds gross

27:34

and clinical chuck, but it's nice. It's

27:37

nice. It's a nice flavor. Yeah.

27:40

I don't know why the word yeast creeps me out. He

27:42

got a word aversion to yeast. How

27:44

do you feel about moist moist?

27:47

Didn't I know that freaks most people out.

27:49

Yeah, I don't hate it. Yeast bothers

27:51

you more than moist? What about moist

27:53

yeast? God, it's

27:56

like the worst fan named. What's

28:00

up? We're moist yeast. It's also kind

28:02

of a tug glister. Uh. And

28:04

this is our first song. It's called wet Farts.

28:14

Alan Smithy says, put the TV on game

28:16

mode to reduce

28:18

and remove processing. So when I was able

28:20

to watch the movie with a proper frame rate and

28:23

color intended by the creators. All

28:25

right, that's a pretty good, pretty good tip

28:27

there. Thomas Tinarello

28:30

says, if you have Blu ray Player and you're playing an older

28:32

movie or DVD, or

28:34

an older pressing of a DVD, always set

28:36

the picture to cinema. It's not as

28:38

vivid or saturated, but you avoid

28:41

weird skin tones and pixelation. Boy,

28:44

this is great, man. People need these tips,

28:46

no all, they

28:49

absolutely do. These are important. I think, Um,

28:51

I wish I had more to offer. Um.

28:53

I I have a good like Hi fi

28:55

system, but I don't have a surround system,

28:58

so I don't typically hook up to my

29:00

to my setup like I kind of wish I had like a really

29:02

good wireless so nose kind

29:04

of surround system, and then I would I used

29:07

to love having surround

29:09

in my living room and I haven't had it in years. And

29:12

I crank that ship up when I can. Let

29:15

me see here. Sarah Negi says, I know some people

29:17

hate it, but close caption really helps

29:19

me catch lines a lot of times that I've never heard

29:21

before. Yeah,

29:25

if you can, uh, if you can sort of get by

29:27

the words on the screen, that you

29:29

can really help in a lot of movies. I

29:31

don't like yeah, man, it bugs me. It distracts

29:33

me, it makes me, It draws my eye

29:35

away from the action. And I

29:38

get do you like subtitled films? Well,

29:40

I that you really don't have a choice at that point.

29:42

It doesn't bug you a little bit. Really, Yeah,

29:44

I don't. I don't. I mean I always find I

29:47

am less engaged with the

29:49

action on screen when I'm having to constantly

29:51

move my eyes up and down. And you know, maybe

29:54

I'm just not a fast enough reader. I don't know. I

29:56

mean, I get it. I got to be in the right mood for a

29:58

subtitle film, but I can. I'd certainly

30:01

enjoy it. Benjamin

30:03

Johnson says, if you want stove top popcorn,

30:05

that's a bit unique toss. And if you

30:07

pickled halapenos into the oil as

30:10

it's heating up, the result is this spicy

30:13

delight, not

30:15

bad. So you actually cook

30:17

down the hallapenos, well, cook

30:20

the hallepenos in the oil, and then I

30:22

believe removed them so it's like infused

30:24

with lapino. You're just talking about actually popping

30:27

the popcorn in some stovetop baby, And

30:29

that's the old school. Man. It tastes better, doesn't

30:31

it. I think so I think it really does.

30:33

I think there's no question. I mean, if you're comparing to

30:35

like air popping, yes please yeah

30:38

again, to put a hair dryer on your popcorn and expected

30:40

to say it's as good as cooking in an oil.

30:43

What do you think about those crazy ones that you

30:45

that come with like the tinfoil and then

30:47

it balloons up into this crazy Those

30:50

are fun. I mean, dude, that's seventies,

30:53

Like, I haven't seen those in years. It

30:55

was in that scene of Scream, remember the first of the

30:57

first scream. She's cooking that

30:59

and in it that's like the timekeeper

31:01

for like how how how much time has passed? Whatever?

31:04

It's very good. Our old friend Lisa Romano

31:06

says, similarly to me, my granny

31:09

always used to put a lamp beside

31:11

the television and turn the mainline off. Yeah,

31:14

lighting is key, man. You can't you

31:17

can't watch a movie with the lights all the lights

31:20

on. You gotta set the mood. Man

31:23

said it. Our

31:25

old friend Adam Pellettier says,

31:28

air pop popcorn. Right after I was just bagging on

31:30

it, air pop popcorn tossed and melted

31:32

butter. All right, you're bringing me back

31:35

then, multiple dashes of the vinegary hot

31:37

sauce like Texas pete

31:39

or something. This might go to movie

31:41

snack. People are digging the hot

31:44

popcorn. Do you like the hot

31:46

pop? Spicy pop? Yeah?

31:49

You know, I don't know that I've ever really gone out

31:51

for spicy pop. Maybe a little cayenne on

31:53

top and then you shake it around to infuse

31:55

it. I like this lapeno

31:58

oil situation. That's

32:00

a good idea. How do you feel abou kettle corn? Chuck?

32:02

Sweet popcorn? I

32:05

like it, but not for movies. Now, it's

32:08

not the same. It's a different animal entire. All

32:11

Right, here's a big one, everybody. And we've had a

32:14

um I've posted about this before because

32:17

Tom Cruise recorded a public service announcement

32:20

about this. This is from Danielle

32:22

for Lito on modern

32:24

HDTVs. Everybody, for the love

32:27

of God, turn off motion

32:29

smoothing. Well that's

32:31

just one oh one, right there. Anyone

32:33

that people about the integrity

32:37

of of the moving image, you gotta turn that ship

32:39

off. Yeah. Here's here's the deal. Everyone. Your

32:41

HDTV when you buy it, likely comes

32:43

with motion something called motion smoothing turned

32:46

on. And if you think it looks funny

32:48

and like a soap opera or something. Uh,

32:51

Emily, and I call it daily's mode.

32:53

Um it is, Why

32:58

did they even do it? No, it's the worst. Like

33:01

what's it for? I don't know who's it for. I

33:03

think it maybe for sports? You

33:06

have a Sports already are filmed at a higher

33:08

frame rate anyway, so they already look that

33:10

way. I don't know, man, you know what I'm saying though, when

33:12

I say the higher frame right thing, it's like what it's doing

33:14

for our traditional twenty four frames a

33:16

second, like the thing that our I recognizes

33:19

as a fucking movie, you know, which is the

33:21

blur. It's literally that's what we

33:23

like and what we are used to. And then the pleasantness

33:25

of that that frame rate motion

33:27

smoothing almost interpolates

33:30

those frames. And like, maybe

33:32

I'm saying that's wrong, Correct me, anyone out there if I'm saying

33:34

this wrong, But I believe it almost interpolates

33:36

those frames and inserts new information to

33:39

make it look like you're seeing

33:41

the full action as opposed to this kind

33:43

of magical ghostie

33:45

thing that you're seeing in as a film right the frame

33:47

rate. But again, sports though are filmed that a higher

33:50

frame right because this they're fast they're ranging around. You want

33:52

to see the action while they're you know, moving around

33:54

in the in the field or the fucking

33:56

sports box. Well,

33:59

most of EASE will have a range

34:01

of things, and chances are it has

34:03

a cinema selection, and if you

34:05

don't want to best, if you don't really know what you're doing and

34:08

want to mess with individual like granular

34:10

settings, sure just throw it on cinema

34:13

and just leave it there. I feel the same way as

34:15

a music nerd, and I'm sure you do too. For

34:17

some of these like e Q presets

34:19

like pump up the base and the mids and stuff.

34:21

It's like, listen to it, like the person

34:24

that mixed it and mastered it intended it to be

34:26

listening right base Now

34:29

it doesn't leave it alone yet you don't know what

34:31

you're doing, so yeah, motion smoothing everyone.

34:33

Um, chances

34:35

are you've had to like sneak into your in law's

34:37

house and find their remote in the middle of the night

34:40

and turn it off. Because that's what I

34:42

used to have to do, and I've heard other similar stories.

34:45

It is something that, um, your

34:47

father in law may not understand, so just explain

34:49

to them that it's not a superior

34:51

picture. It makes it all gross

34:53

and bad. Um

34:56

heather ingram have a blanket to curl up under

34:58

and a hugging allow for coziness.

35:01

I'm all about the hugging pillow. Oh

35:04

a clutch. Yeah, when I sleep, I

35:06

have a pillow that I just hug. Yeah

35:09

I did too. Yeah, you guys, you and your wife

35:11

don't don't spoon, good

35:13

god spooning days years.

35:15

Do you guys sleep back to back? Do you like have

35:17

your little corner and you face away from each other? Is

35:20

this too personal? I'm sorry? I mean I flip

35:22

around a lot. So it's like, when

35:24

you're supposed to be sleeping, just sleep

35:27

however you want to sleep, right, you don't have to sleep

35:29

like cuddling, and I do. I do. I do resent

35:31

the implication. I do resent the implication that I'm

35:33

going to stay in this position all night. So it's like

35:35

I'm, you know, with a lady, and then she gets

35:38

cozied up in such a way where my arm is tethered

35:40

in some way. I'm like, this is sweet and everything,

35:43

but this isn't gonna last. I'm just gonna nip this in

35:45

the bud right now. Yank that

35:47

bad boy, right out from under you. Oh,

35:51

Christopher Watt says, uh, subtle

35:53

ambient light is the key

35:56

for sure. And we'll do one more and

35:58

I'm gonna leave these up everyone because these are good to up.

36:00

And we'll hit him again. And

36:02

if you think you've if, if you think

36:04

you don't know what you're doing watching films, go to

36:06

this thread on tips and

36:08

uh maybe well, no, I'm not

36:10

gonna pin it. Maybe I will pin it all right. We're gonna

36:12

finish with Liam Murphy, who was a food

36:15

tip. It's a little bizarre if you asked

36:17

me, but he got one heart

36:19

from someone. So he has a match microwave

36:22

popcorn plus a handful of peanut Eminem's

36:24

mixed in. That's normal so far, plus

36:28

half a teaspoon of sugar sprinkled

36:30

on top that's to help the medicine go

36:33

down. And a glass

36:35

of chocolate milk wait in the

36:37

popcorn. And I don't think so that

36:39

would be bizarre. So Liam, that is

36:41

quite a power move there with your popcorn

36:44

foods. Yeah. I do like a good chocolate milk.

36:46

I'm not a milk drinker typically, but chocolate milk

36:49

is a nice treat. You know what, No, I'll get

36:51

a chocolate milk, whole milk of

36:53

course. Of course, about four or five

36:55

times a year at the store, I'll to see the

36:57

small little bottle and I'll have a

36:59

hanker in. Sometimes I'll get the real artistical

37:01

one that's like six bucks for like this, the tiny

37:03

little it's great milk, like the sweetest

37:05

chocolate cream, so good.

37:08

Yeah. I introduced my daughter to chocolate milk

37:10

not too long ago, and she was kind of like, whoa, You've

37:12

been ripping me off this whole time. There is magic in

37:14

the world. There is magic in the world, all

37:17

right, everyone that does it for this many many

37:20

thanks for listening. You got anything

37:22

else? Oh?

37:24

I I saw First

37:26

Reformed? Oh

37:29

yeah, you did. I did. I

37:31

liked it. Um, I got

37:34

a little. I watched on demand, and I got a little sleepy

37:36

before the end and a the end, there's the big, big

37:39

moment, so I actually have to watch that sequence.

37:41

I haven't haven't seen. I haven't seen the end yet.

37:43

I read it. I read about it, um, but I

37:45

thought it was really good and really interesting, and I

37:48

like the fact that the first part of the movie

37:50

I almost thought something was wrong because I had

37:52

read that there was this artist that I liked that did

37:54

the music. There's no music, and like the

37:56

first almost three quarters of the

37:58

movie, it's very very stark. It's all

38:01

what they call diagetic sound, which is just like

38:03

sound that happens in the scene, like a choir,

38:05

like a boom box or something. And then when

38:08

things start getting real weird and the movie kind of takes

38:10

a psychedelic turn to I know you love that that

38:12

term, but it does. There's like even a sequence

38:14

that's very like trippy and out of body

38:16

and they're like, you know, stuff is happening. Um.

38:19

I thought it was really interesting. I liked it very much. And

38:21

it's also do you noticed that it was square aspect

38:23

ratio, it's not widescream. I

38:26

don't know if I noticed it is. Yeah, I read. I read

38:28

a little bit about it. Paul Strator says he liked that because

38:30

it means that the humans

38:32

are taking up most of the frame,

38:35

and I thought that was really important for such a movie

38:37

that was just like conversations between

38:39

people. Uh No, I

38:41

just watched since we're going down that road here at the

38:43

end, the Lobster. Finally, I

38:46

loved it. It was good, As you know, I

38:49

love like Guy's films. There tough nuts

38:51

to crack, but I like them. It's a weird one, but

38:54

it's fun inasmuch as it is

38:56

also disturbing and nihilistic. That's

38:59

why I think it's so interesting, because it's like a lot of

39:01

things. Yeah, you gotta get over the acting

39:03

and that in killing him a sacred deer if

39:05

you can't get past that. Uh,

39:07

not that it's bad acting, but he just does that thing, you

39:10

know, that very stilted thing

39:12

where none of the lines are said with any kind of

39:14

emotion. Yes, you're not quite sure what anyone's

39:16

motivations, you know, but I'm

39:18

into it. I'm into it. Did you see the favorite? Yeah?

39:21

Yeah, of course I don't. Do we talk

39:23

about that? Yeah, okay, great,

39:26

Lets refer back to the archives. Great,

39:28

great, great. I can't wait to see

39:30

everything that that dude does. I know, And I

39:32

also have them so happy that Olivia Coleman

39:35

finally got her do and she's I've

39:37

been loving her since, you know, British weirdo

39:39

comedies of the nineties, and now she's and

39:42

now she's this prestigious actor. I

39:44

love it all right, everyone that

39:46

that is truly the end. Thanks for listening, and

39:49

we'll see you next Monday. Good Bye. Yeah.
