Welcome to Movie Crush, a production
0:02
of I Heart Radio. Good
0:29
morning everyone, and welcome to Mini
0:32
Crush with Chuck and Nol. What's so good
0:34
about it? Chuck, guys, Nol is so
0:36
cranky. I'm fired up. Let
0:38
me tell you. Well, we might as well tell
0:40
everyone. You just came in the room
0:43
bitching in moning like,
0:45
look, talk about bougie first world
0:48
problem, you know, at the same time
0:50
I need my coffee. Chuck. Well, here's
0:52
the deal, everybody. We used to have this uh,
0:55
you know, reliable
0:58
but a pretty dope machine that would make a
1:00
cappuccino or
1:03
whatever you want, absolutely just but the
1:05
press of a button. And then they said, you know what, this thing
1:07
is so great, let's get rid of it. Le's get rid of it. It
1:09
was also the thing where I think, you know, the fresh the
1:11
cost of the fresh beans outweighed
1:14
the cost of the K cups. I
1:16
roll. What Yeah, it doesn't make
1:18
any sense, does it. This is a bean cost
1:21
apparently, yeah, apparently it's literally
1:23
people are there's bean counters involved,
1:26
you know. So now we got this k machine
1:28
what do you call it? A kurig? Yeah, which I'm totally
1:30
again, Well, they're they're awful because they're very wasteful.
1:33
They have, you know, like it's it's not a good thing.
1:35
The other one, the Beau, the beans were
1:38
directly in the machine. It would grind them right there.
1:40
Whatever, it was great. But this one, here's
1:42
the problem. Apparently the
1:44
reservoir in the machine, the k
1:47
machines don't want to call it, uh, is like
1:49
it doesn't fill up properly with our water filter.
1:52
So the machine never thinks that's enough water in
1:54
it. So when you do is you'll walk up to it and be like, I'm
1:56
getting a cup of coffee. You put in your cake cup,
1:58
and then it says please eight indefinitely
2:02
no progress bar. You know, give
2:05
me the courtesy of a progress bar, so I know how
2:07
long I'm waiting for? What am I waiting for? You? And then everybody,
2:09
uh, in a in a big Noel has
2:12
been sort of the squeaky wheel about this. And then in
2:14
a not company wide
2:16
but our office at least a podcast
2:18
network wide email, I got put
2:20
on blast, got called out, called
2:23
out very passive aggressively. It's okay,
2:25
but but the problem persists. Uh.
2:28
So I'm gonna write my congressman about it. Basically,
2:30
yeah, I'm gonna take this all the way to city Hall. No,
2:32
you're witnessing a rare occasion. I'm having one
2:35
of probably three Coca Colas a year
2:37
that I drank Ina Vanilla coke. It is
2:39
um. I don't know why I
2:41
don't, especially my three cokes a year.
2:44
I don't drink him in the morning. I
2:46
just saw it in there and I went, I don't
2:48
know, morning coke, and morning coke is nice.
2:50
Black ask burn is what they call it? Has that right? I had
2:52
a little bit of wine last night, black goals. If we're
2:54
being on, it's Texas tea. But I'm drinking
2:56
this and it's so delicious. But
2:59
how do people drink this ship every day? Like multiple
3:01
times a day? You don't, It's
3:03
crazy. I don't. It tastes
3:06
like a dessert. It does tastes like a dessert. I that's why
3:08
I like soda water, because I realized I like
3:10
the bubbly burn soda, the
3:12
carbonated drink. Yeah, but not the sugar.
3:14
We got those what are those? Uh for? Buzz
3:17
marketing
3:17
mont That's
3:20
that's the Atlanta Lacroix equivalent.
3:22
It's true, that was it out of Atlanta. It's out of Atlanta.
3:25
Okay, support local Chuck. I notice you have
3:27
a bit of extra rasp in your voice today.
3:29
I do for sure you have
3:32
rasps. I have rasp and I have rest. You have a little
3:34
bit extra rasp. Well it's early. Yeah, I'm
3:36
like, I'm actually sick. Oh no, I
3:38
just said a couple of drinks, like, no,
3:40
this is what fu forty eight sounds like? Forty
3:44
eight? Yeah, see, I'm about to be thirty six. Pardon
3:47
me every yeah,
3:50
August eight, send me presents.
3:53
Well, no, I mean this will be out
3:56
sort of right around then. Yeah, okay, it's my birthday.
3:58
It's a happy birthday. Many think, dude, thirty six
4:00
looks good on you. Thanks dude, I appreciate that. Um,
4:03
I guess I can mark check on
4:05
the catch up section. I think you can.
4:08
So, No, what we're gonna do this week is and
4:10
it has been a minute. I've missed you. Yeah,
4:13
I listened. We got ahead, so we took a couple of weeks,
4:15
right. I noticed something funny kind
4:17
of happened on one of those episodes we recorded ahead of time.
4:20
We remarked on Midsummer yeard
4:22
that and then we had already had already
4:24
crushed it. Yeah, it's fine, it
4:27
doesn't matter. It's not worth going in and
4:29
editing out of those sences, right, But it was funny to me
4:31
at the time. I was like, oh, here's
4:33
how we felt, and this was like like this is It was like I was
4:35
like looking back through time and seeing the precursor
4:38
to how I just coming together and
4:40
kind of like mutually making
4:42
that movie right when you were thirty five, When when
4:45
I was thirty it
4:47
was pretty okay.
4:50
Um, god, that's one of the best Sinatra jams
4:52
ever. Yeah, gotta love that song. Have you seen
4:54
this. There's an opening sequence in one of the later
4:56
seasons of The Sopranos that uses that
4:59
song. Oh yeah, as it like it's like
5:01
narrating what's going on and man, so
5:03
good. That was a big I
5:05
went to a big Sinatra phase in college. Never
5:07
left it. So yeah, that's why we
5:09
don't like to get to ahead of the game, NOL, because we like
5:12
these to be fresh and current, not weeks and weeks
5:14
old. It's true, but sometimes
5:16
you gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes you gotta do it. Because
5:18
Josh and I did a couple of live shows. They
5:21
went great Chicago and Toronto. Toronto
5:24
as they say, don't say Toronto. That's
5:26
like saying Atlanta. It's
5:28
Atlanta Toronto. Uh.
5:30
They were great, They're awesome, great crowds,
5:32
fun people, great show. Uh
5:35
we just you know, it's good to be back on stage with
5:37
my pal. Hadn't done it since January,
5:40
so we had a nice long layoff and
5:42
it was just great. I had a great time. I'm
5:44
heading to New York to do a live show myself today.
5:48
Oh yeah, with ridiculous No,
5:50
with stuff they don't want you to know. We're doing an event for Warner
5:52
Brothers that's like surrounding this movie The Kitchen
5:54
that they've got coming out that's about badass
5:57
women, mobsters and Hell's Kitchen. So
5:59
you're doing a special live appearance as
6:01
a part of it, like an overall ad deal.
6:03
Yes, that's great, it's cool, good for you, really
6:06
fun. It's at an old theater in the in the East village
6:08
called uh Theater eighties. St.
6:10
Mark's amazing. Yeah, it should be fun
6:12
on St. Mark's. I imagine on St. Mark's. Yeah.
6:15
No, I'm so jelly. I'm very looking forward to It's gonna
6:17
be fun, alright. So no longer
6:19
in the front load this one with a kind of a quickie
6:21
stream this slash
6:24
crush to judgment because Sir, I
6:26
would like to reckon with you about The
6:28
Black Coat's Daughter. What
6:30
about it? I saw it, he didn't like it.
6:33
I did not well ship
6:36
Josh Clark loves this movie. Backstage
6:39
in Chicago, one
6:41
of the first things I said was I gotta
6:43
talk to you about The Black Coat's Daughter, and he
6:45
went, you know you saw it and I said yeah, and he I
6:47
said, I hated it pretty much. And he said
6:51
it's probably my favorite horror movie of all time.
6:53
And I was like, really favorite.
6:55
I don't know about all the time, but I thought it was great. And then
6:57
he asked what the deal was and I started to pick it apart
7:00
and he said to stop, and he said,
7:02
because that your all your points are valid. I
7:04
don't want to hear him. Well, but you could
7:06
also argue that you're missing the point. Oh
7:09
well, is that it's you know
7:11
all right, Well, let's talk about it. And folks, if you haven't
7:13
seen The Black Coat's Daughter, uh, you
7:15
might not want to listen because I'm gonna spoil some
7:17
stuff. I think it's still streaming. I think it's either
7:19
on Netflix or Hulu or one of those.
7:22
Yeah, I think I think I watched on Netflix
7:24
or maybe it was Amazon. So my
7:27
biggest problem, no, overall, overall,
7:30
my biggest problem was the
7:34
fact that they flash nine years in the
7:36
future and Emma Roberts
7:38
is supposed to be Karen Schipka. I
7:41
didn't get it. I literally had to google afterward
7:44
are those the same? Is that supposed to be the same
7:47
person? And I just thought
7:49
it was terrible. I don't even remember
7:51
that. I know what you're talking. That's the whole point of
7:53
the movie, is like, nine years in
7:55
the future, Emma Roberts is kills
7:58
the parents of the person
8:00
we're talking about the same movie. Yea, kills the
8:02
parents of the kids that she killed,
8:05
and uh school or
8:08
all the other people, and like
8:11
it was it was supposed to be heard nine
8:13
years later and they don't look alike. I
8:16
was just I didn't get it. I was like, I thought Satan
8:19
had possessed multiple girls or something,
8:22
and I was like, why didn't they flash forward twenty
8:24
five years in the future and cast a middle age actor.
8:27
You know, I didn't make that connection either,
8:29
Chuck, that's the whole point of the movie. Well, but
8:31
that but that's my whole point about missing the
8:33
point that was the big twist. I didn't care about
8:36
the twist. It's her. I didn't care about
8:38
that. I just thought it was atmospherically cool
8:40
and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the build
8:43
and the slow bird and the tension. I
8:45
thought it was. The kids were good. I thought the you
8:47
know, I don't know, I like a slow burn. To
8:50
me. It was so slow though that
8:52
like almost nothing happened, and
8:54
the whole Satan thing it
8:57
just seemed thrown into, like, oh man, this
8:59
will be fucked up. It was never explored,
9:01
it was never like. It
9:04
just seemed very tached on and lazy. It's hard
9:06
for me to do this with you right now, Chuck, because I haven't
9:09
seen it in probably a year. It
9:11
is a lot of there's a lot of subtle things going on
9:13
in that movie, and I remember vaguely what you're
9:15
talking about with the actor not matching up. But
9:17
I also, in my mind, I don't
9:19
think I even connected that, and
9:21
maybe that's my bad. I don't know, but
9:25
I still remember enjoying the film
9:27
so fair enough. I
9:29
also remember there being some problems, but I know
9:31
there were problems. I was willing to overlook because I thought the
9:34
overall vibe was pretty cool. I mean,
9:36
I enjoyed the vibe. I do like a slow burn,
9:38
Like I said, it just I
9:41
don't know, man, it did not do it for me, Like the
9:43
big twist that that was her nine years
9:45
later. It was like nine years
9:47
and she would she had plastic surgery.
9:50
I seem to recall having googled some stuff as
9:52
well. Yeah, yeah, all right, fair
9:55
enough, but hey, people like it.
9:57
I had a bit of a discussion on the
10:00
Facebook page here, and a
10:02
lot of people have the same problem I did. We're
10:05
totally confused by this nine
10:08
years later thing. And then a lot of people were
10:10
like, I really liked it so and who
10:12
is the black coat anyway?
10:14
I guess that's Satan, Oh,
10:16
I guess. And I had the
10:18
most low key, kind of lame exorcism
10:21
I've ever seen in a movie. It
10:23
was like thirty seconds long. I
10:25
don't know, man, did not didn't
10:28
need a more beefy exorcism in your in your
10:30
horror films. I mean, if you're gonna have an exorcism,
10:32
have an exorcism, you know, throw
10:35
it away. Here's black Coat's
10:37
daughter explained I'll
10:39
read this for my own personal but well,
10:44
that's the idea. She kills uh
10:47
what's her face, Freddie Mercury's wife
10:51
from Lucy uh
10:54
Boynton. She kills
10:56
her, the cool girl in school. They're they're stuck together.
10:59
And then nine years later she is released
11:01
from the mental or escapes from the mental institution,
11:04
and just so happens to get picked up by
11:06
her parents, which like, come on,
11:09
talk about a coincidence. And the
11:11
parents don't know what their daughter's killer looks
11:14
like, and they're just like, hey, you need
11:16
a ride, let me help you out. I had
11:18
so many problems. No, they just stacked upon
11:20
one of I'm gonna give this a rewatch
11:23
through the eyes of Chuck. I'm
11:25
willing to allow you to ruin this movie
11:27
for me in a way that Josh
11:29
was not. So that's where I that's where
11:32
I separate myself from the josh Is of the world.
11:34
I'm willing to have something ruined for me. Well,
11:44
all right, So I watched that. And then the other thing I watched
11:46
NOL, which I think you have seen, which I really
11:48
really loved, was the documentary
11:50
about Harry Nelson. Did you see
11:52
that? I have not seen it? It's called who
11:54
is Harry Nelson? And why is everyone?
11:57
Why is everybody talking about him? Ye? A little
11:59
clunky title, but I could play on his famous
12:01
song. He also had some clunky
12:03
album titles too, like Nielsen, Schmilson
12:06
and Son that became a thing.
12:09
But I think it's maybe even a little nod to that. Oh
12:12
you think a little bit, maybe just the fact that there's some goofy,
12:14
goofy title. You know, I certainly
12:16
love his work. Everybody's
12:19
talking as a great song. You put the line
12:21
in the coconut drank
12:24
the drank them both up, drank the bowl up.
12:26
I think that's a great song. One
12:28
is the loneliest number he wrote that h
12:30
what else? Oh? Of course? Uh,
12:33
his biggest hit was probably without
12:35
You, Without You amazing.
12:37
But I didn't know much about the guy, and he has
12:41
uh sort of lived in not
12:43
obscurity, to be sure, but certainly
12:46
underrated and underappreciated as far as
12:48
singer songwriters go in the history
12:50
of popular music. And
12:52
one of the big reasons and all. I don't know if you know this, but
12:55
he never performed live. And
12:57
not only it's not like I'm not gonna tour like
12:59
he didn't play live. He had a
13:01
crippling fear of doing so. Yeah, but
13:04
that beautiful tenor three octave
13:06
three and a half octave range or whatever he had gorgeous
13:10
Yeah, really interesting, interesting songwriter.
13:12
Two And like I mean he did like the Popeye soundtrack
13:15
and stuff, you know. And then that movie the point
13:17
that Alan loves so much that I still haven't
13:19
seen an animated I have the soundtrack of that.
13:21
It was gifted to me and I haven't listened to yet because
13:23
it literally is kind of like a play that
13:26
the soundtrack is is like an opera or like
13:28
a musical or listened to. I gotta
13:30
dig it out. He's just a true artist.
13:32
He did one he uh did at
13:35
sort of the peak of his fame. He did a
13:37
cover of Randy Newman songs
13:40
like Nelson does Newman or or sings Newman
13:43
all Randy Newman. So they
13:45
talk about his u infamous friendship with
13:48
John Lennon and the documentary a lot in Ringo
13:50
Star Um. He worshiped the Beatles,
13:52
of course, and in up being palaced with those guys, especially
13:55
Lennon and Star doing a lot of a lot of Heroin together.
13:57
I imagine, Well, I don't have that
13:59
lost week and thing right, wasn't that when they're hanging out with
14:01
each other? Yeah, I mean he was a part of the
14:03
Hollywood Vampires, which was um
14:06
Ringo star Keith Moon, John
14:09
Lennon Um unlikely,
14:12
maybe most unlikely of all.
14:15
Mickey Dolan's of the Monkeys was part of that group,
14:17
and they were notorious for um
14:21
just really getting down and partying
14:23
in l a hardcore alcoholics
14:26
and drug users. I don't
14:29
know about heroin. He was definitely on the cocaine
14:32
um, but his main thing was booze.
14:34
And I didn't realize like they said,
14:37
And this was Mickey Dolan's talking about like
14:39
hanging out with like he
14:42
out mooned Keith Moon, Harry
14:44
Nilson did. He said he was just
14:46
like there was no ramp up. It
14:49
was out of the gate, a hundred miles an hour.
14:51
And they're at one point in the documentary they're talking
14:53
about, um the call coming
14:56
in, like do you want to go out from Harry
14:58
Nilson, and two or three people were
15:00
like, boy, the call. When the call comes you,
15:03
you gotta know like it's
15:05
not like a night of drinking, like Harry
15:08
will come pick you up for lunch. And three days
15:10
later you will come home and
15:13
and maybe beat end up in a different city
15:15
like crazy crazy ship.
15:18
So he's like, he's kind of the bad influence in the situation.
15:20
He yeah, it's big. And you know he
15:23
his his marriage. Uh, he's
15:25
married three times. His first marriage was kind
15:27
of didn't even count. His second marriage
15:29
really suffered because of that. Then eventually
15:31
settles down and has like six children with
15:34
this third wife that he really loved, but
15:37
you know, alcohol recked his body. Very sad,
15:40
really really really insightful. Doc. You
15:42
you're gonna love it. I'll check it out. Very good. All
15:45
right, everyone, we are going
15:47
to slide right into a couple
15:49
of social studies. Social
15:52
studies and
15:57
one of them was curated
15:59
by a super pal
16:03
and I said, can I use this? Or actually
16:05
I think he maybe even just suggested it. Uh.
16:08
Andrew Ryan White said,
16:10
dude, why don't you do one on your favorite movie here? Because
16:12
you always talk about two? And
16:15
I said that that is a great idea, So thank
16:17

19:20
terrible. Man in the Moon. You like Man on the Moon,
19:22

19:26
straight story. That's a great movie. Great
19:28
movie, David Lynch, and
19:30
it's the one we've made talking about this, but it's the one David
19:32
Lynch movie that has all the hallmarks of David
19:34
Lynchy nous but like it's it's
19:38
and it's such a touching movie but still very lynchy
19:40
and weird. I like, yeah it is. Uh.
19:42
Well, let's go with Andrew Ryan White, who
19:45
curated this whole thing to begin with. He says ninety
19:47
seven, he said two films
19:49
stood up better than what one.
19:52
Best picture l A Confidential,
19:54
all time great good. Wild Hunting might be the best
19:57
first screenplay written. And
20:00
also Titanic, Boogie
20:02
Nights, Jackie Brown, Men in Black,
20:05
Austin Powers, Fifth Element, Gross point
20:07
Blank. Yeah,
20:10
I gotta say those are all good. Let's
20:12
go with Top Fan and Old Pal, Teresa Barker,
20:16
eighty three, Flash Dance, Vacation,
20:18
The Dead Zone, Trading Places, Mr Mom in
20:20
terms of endearment, A Christmas Story, and Yental.
20:24
I gotta say no, it seems like
20:27
these days it's just not very
20:29
good. I mean, I love these Marvel movies,
20:31
but when you look at January
20:34
through December in the last six,
20:36
eight, ten years, it's not that great.
20:38
Well, it's also like what makes the cut on
20:40
these lists? They have to be you know, there's
20:42
certainly some under the radar one
20:44
some gems or whatever. But what even you
20:47
type in, you know, best
20:49
of this year, Like what does it have to have made
20:51
a certain amount of money for it to like pop up on the list?
20:53
Yeah, I mean, you know a lot of it is, uh.
20:56
I mean, nostalgia plays a role, to be sure, but like
21:00
Karate Kid has got to be on a list. It doesn't have
21:02
to be like a Best Picture winner, you know, to
21:04
say that Karate Kid, it was a great
21:06
film, you know what I mean? Do
21:09
you think Karate Kid was a great film? Yes,
21:13
yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting, Yeah
21:15
it was yeah for
21:17
what it was, for what it was. Um,
21:19
I think it's a good film. Absolutely. It
21:22
pushes all my buttons and all still does it takes
21:24
those boxes. Yeah. I mean there's not a
21:27
time that I've watched that movie when
21:29
uh, the big scene when
21:33
Miagi comes home after a late night after
21:35
daniel Son has been standing the floor and
21:37
he's had enough and
21:39
he does it, he does the yeah,
21:42
and he realizes that he's been learning karate
21:44
the whole time. Every time I see that ship
21:46
it it moves me. That movie is also like the
21:48
quintessential montage. Oh
21:51
sure, I mean like that, that's the montage
21:53
the best what's
21:55
ever going to get? Which was it?
21:57
Was it one or two that had the love theme
22:00
where it's like I'll be the man who
22:02
will fight. I
22:05
want to I'm
22:07
not mistaken because like
22:09
a night and Shining Arm from
22:12
a long time ago, Peter
22:14
Sitara man that's later Chicago,
22:18
Chicago. Yeah, that's who that is or
22:21
I actually met that. I think that was Stara Solo
22:24
got it? No, No, I mean he's he was in Chicago.
22:26
I never connected this. They didn't for the
22:29
break Off. Never, I never associated
22:31
a name with Chicago. You know Stara
22:33
he played bass and saying lead. I
22:35
mean they had a couple of singers. But of course Chicago
22:38
was all about Terry Calf, and there's a great
22:40
documentary on Terry Calf, one
22:42
of the easily most underrated
22:44
guitar players of all time. Let
22:47
me see Josh Brennan says, eighty five, goon,
22:49
He's back to the Future, Breakfast Club, weird Science.
22:52
Wait a minute, are people getting these years wrong?
22:54
I felt like someone said that was eight seven, Jeremy
22:58
Green, Summer of ninety three, Sam Lot and Rookie
23:00
of the Year. I was ten years old and those
23:02
were perfect baseball movies. Yeah,
23:05
eighty five was good. Back
23:08
to the Future, gooonis Breakfast Club? Rambo
23:10
too? Weird science? Color?
23:13
Purple? Rocky four?
23:15
Was that a good rocky? Uh?
23:18
That was draw go so medium Rocky
23:20
medium, Rocky cocoon. You
23:22
know what's funny, We're going to get
23:24
into this, uh in a in an episode, We're gonna record a little
23:26
bit. But see a Stranger Things Season
23:29
three clearly takes place in because
23:33
in the movie Theater at the Mall, they're
23:36
playing Cocoon. Else it
23:38
back to the future. I felt like there
23:40
was one more, maybe one more, Oh
23:44
it was it was Night of the Living Dead,
23:47
Return of the Living Dead. Okay, that sounds
23:49
about right. Al
23:51
old Buddy Craig might have hung those
23:53
signs and all. Yeah, my
23:55
my daughter's stepdad worked on that
23:57
show as well. Well, we'll get into that in the whole We're
24:00
Gonna crush It. We're gonna crush it. Our old
24:02
pal Banessa Cashman part of the nessa
24:04
squad. She
24:07
goes with pulp fiction professional Forrest Gump
24:09
Shawshank interviewed the Vampire
24:11
Natural Born Killers. Not bad? What is
24:13
that for? Yeah,
24:16
that was a good year. It was a very
24:18
good year. It was I remember that pretty
24:20
distinctly from being too young to see all those
24:22
movies, but yet still having seen them in
24:24
the theater, Like I saw an interview with the Vampire in the
24:26
theater. I saw pulp fiction in the theater. Yeah.
24:29
Same. Tank Girl came out that year too, not on
24:31
the list probably, but oh
24:34
it was fun enough, not great, but no,
24:36
it's not a good movie. Like what's her face? Was
24:38
it? Lori Perry petty? But it's also got like iced Tea
24:41
dressed as a weird mutant kangaroo. Oh
24:44
that's right, Yeah, he's got all He's like part of a whole gang of
24:46
weird, puffy kangaroo
24:48
people. And that was a comic book correct Edwin
24:53
Forrest Glenn says,
24:56
n Truman
24:58
Show, Rushmore, Lebowski, Private
25:00
Ryan, American History X Wedding Singers, Rounders
25:03
Meet Joe black Lock Stock. Not
25:05
a bad year, boy,
25:08
really, when you stack these up next to each other. What
25:10
I have not seen, really, is anyone do
25:13
anything from
25:17
the past twelve to fifteen years.
25:19
No, well, I'm just for as an experiment looking up.
25:23
Yeah, it's not bad, dude, it's not bad. All right.
25:25
Let's here. We've got mad Max, Fury Road, We've
25:27
got The Martian. Uh. I see
25:30
how people liked it Inside Out
25:32
fantastic animated film, Creed
25:35
people seem to enjoy I haven't seen it. The
25:37
Revenant. Uh. Leo DiCaprio
25:39
climbs inside of a bear like that movie much
25:42
like as much as you can like it. Well, you know he
25:44
uh he definitely deserved that Oscar did
25:46
he get it? I don't even remember seeing That's how little
25:48
I care about that movie. The Big Short that
25:51
was good. Yeah, but here's the deal to me,
25:53
No, uh, these movies have to I
25:55
think I know what it is. They have to stand the test of time.
25:58
Time. So in twenty years, are people
26:00
are gonna look back and say, oh, boy, man, remember
26:02
that you're the Martian came out Share Love train
26:04
Wreck. I don't think so. Gosh, that was
26:06
a that was a romp. They're just okay,
26:08
They're not long lasting. I don't think. Yeah,
26:11
I mean even like a movie like the Marvel movies,
26:14
which are so fun. They're
26:16
fun, like a ride is fun, like
26:18
a like a you know, amusement park ride is
26:20
fun. Yeah, I'm not gonna like, I'm not losing
26:23
sleep thinking about you know, the
26:25
Pathos and ant Man, you know, I mean,
26:28
it's just not happening, all
26:30
right. I think we Uh, I think we covered our bases
26:33
there. Uh.
26:41
So I'm gonna move on finally, no to in one more
26:43
social studies, and I'm gonna start doing some of
26:45
these. I decided to get kind of specific. And
26:49
if I'm not mistaken, this may be coming out just
26:51
a couple of days after Mr Robert de
26:53
Niro's birthday, and so we're going
26:55
to salute him and I simply asked,
26:58
what is your favorite Robert
27:00
de Niro performance one of the great actors
27:02
of all time? Not best,
27:05
not favorite movie, favorite performance.
27:07
I know it right off the top of my head. I'm gonna
27:09
make a guess, Noll, what do you think I'm
27:13
going to say you loved
27:19
Raging Bull? No, mind's
27:21
a mind's way off the beaten path, Mad
27:24
Dog and Glory, The King of Comedy, Oh God,
27:26
great, Rupert, Rupert Pupkin.
27:29
If you guys haven't seen The King of Comedy. It's
27:31
sort of a lesser Scorsese. It's
27:33
like a weird mad cap kind of like
27:36
obsession obsession movie, dark comedy,
27:38
dark comedy, not really a thriller,
27:40
definitely no mob stuff at
27:42
all. It's just a character study. Lewis
27:44
so great about Sander Bernhard thought
27:46
this kind of not even a has
27:48
been and never was comedian who like lives
27:50
in his mother's basement. It becomes obsessed
27:53
with this talk show host. Yeah, like
27:55
the sort of the Carson Johnny Carson
27:57
character, which was Erry Lewis. And that's all you need to know about
27:59
it, because so many good things that happened in that movie. Sandra
28:01
Bernhard is in it, and plays a fellow obsessive
28:04
and it's just so good. I don't man,
28:06
I wish he was around more. She
28:10
was great. She popped up in an episode
28:12
of Sopranos. I've been rewatching The Sopranos and there's
28:14
an episode where Jon Favreau plays
28:16
himself directing like a gangster movie,
28:19
and Chris Malta santi one of the
28:21
younger soprano protege or wherever,
28:24
kind of starts up what's the word, consulting
28:26
a little bit on it, and I think Sandra
28:28
Bernhardt and um Janine Garoffalo
28:31
are in the movie, and that's the last
28:33
time I've really seen Sandra Bernhard. She's
28:35
great. Mr Alright, So we're
28:37
going with Charles martin Acres. When a Burl
28:40
Pal says Casino, Jim
28:42
Bousa says, meet the parents,
28:45
even though good Fellows is one of my favorite movies. So he
28:47
gets it, old pal and top pan Barry
28:49
King says,
28:51
uh, well,
28:53
he didn't really say. He
28:56
just says he's one of my favorite actor holes.
28:59
Oh, one of his biggest actor holes. Sorry
29:04
he does. He mentions Casino for best performance.
29:06
I just put it that, Verry. I'll apologies. So it's
29:09
fine. Casino is good because it's like it's
29:11
sort of an understated DeNiro performance
29:13
as well. He's not the heavy Yeah, he's not the
29:17
yuck he hamming it up or whatever too in the scenery
29:19
as much. He's a little more understated. Well, the whole
29:21
point of that character is to be very common
29:23
in control the radar, kind of like he's the guy that doesn't
29:25
actually kill anybody. He just kind
29:28
of like he's the boss kind of, but
29:30
he's also boy, he has
29:32
to be like the legitimate businessman, right
29:34
exactly. I really love Casino.
29:36
I think I think it got sort
29:39
of I
29:41
mean, people like Casino, but I think it was a scene
29:43
as lesser at the time compared to like a good
29:45
Fellas. That's fair maybe
29:47
a little bit. But no, no, no, I'm not I'm not saying
29:49
I know, yeah, I don't agree with you. I'm saying I
29:51
I think, I honestly think they're
29:53
equal, and I think it's maybe
29:56
a hair below good Fellas. But
29:58
Sharon Stone and James Woods, he and though he's
30:01
an awful human, was great in that movie,
30:03
isn't he. Yeah, God,
30:06
he's terrible. Old pal Brian Throckmorton,
30:09
uh says the Captain and Star Dust.
30:13
I don't know that. What is that? Oh?
30:17
Stardust is a Neil Gaiman movie
30:20
based on a comic based on a novel
30:22
by Neil Game. It's sort of a fantasy
30:24
princess bride fairy tale
30:26
kind of thing, because he does play kind
30:28
of a goofy airship
30:31
captain in that. And I don't really remember much
30:33
else about it. I didn't I wasn't a huge fan of even
30:35
I love Neil Gaming. But what's your name? Michelle
30:37
Pfeiffer's in it? Uh, somebody
30:39
else kind of famous is in it, But it's Neil Game and Mary
30:41
too. To Amanda Palmer, Right, that's
30:44
right. Helen Lyons,
30:47
old Pal says, I love how he chewed the scenery
30:49
in Cape Fear, my first to nero experience.
30:52
Didn't that come up with bad accents? I think before
30:55
where we're like so bad also so
30:57
good, you know, like you just kind of like look past it's
30:59
gotta go with it. I think it was so over the top.
31:02
I certainly loved that Cape Fear movie. Uh,
31:05
that one as opposed to the other one, although
31:07
they're both great. Old Pal Don Morris's
31:09
Silver Linings playbook hands down
31:12
such a specific and flawed character. Yeah,
31:15
boy, he was good in that. Austin
31:17
Handler Old friends says Jimmy Conway and Goodfellas
31:20
of course, and a lifetime of great roles.
31:22
My hands down favorite DeNiro roll
31:26
hard to argue. Robert Paulson, pipe
31:28
down, Paulson, our old pal says, Mean Streets
31:31
so real and so raw? Have you ever seen
31:33
mean streets and all? That's what I haven't seen. Get
31:35
on it, brother, classic song
31:39
at the beginning? Is there rolling stones? Oh? I
31:41
mean this is course aisy movie, so there's got to be rolling
31:43
stets? Yeah?
31:46
Mein streets man so good? I
31:48
mean, I definitely I like the range of DeNiro,
31:51
but when he was like in his early twenties,
31:54
just crushing it, man, crushing it. R
31:57
J. Revniac says it's
32:00
gotta be Jay Clamta and Raging Bull transformed
32:03
his body and oscillated between
32:05
Despicable Husband and pitiable
32:08
has been so
32:10
good. Old friend David
32:13
Mills says stereotypical,
32:15
gotta be good Fellas. Here you go, Noel,
32:17
our old friend Alex Alex Glasnovich
32:21
says, King of Comedy is Scorsese's
32:23
best film, which one King of Comedy?
32:26
Yes, absolutely. I don't know if it's his
32:28
best film, but it's one to me that is remarkable
32:30
because it's so him trying something
32:32
else and stepping out, and it doesn't feel
32:34
like a Scorsese movie, but it's just like so uniquely
32:37
itself. For I love that. And he's one
32:39
of those directors that kind of tends to lean on a
32:42
thing, you know, and this one doesn't really this goes
32:44
outside of that. Yeah. Yeah. Our old
32:46
friend Sean McFarland says, Bronx Tale
32:48
such a humble character. He wants nothing but to protect
32:50
his family. What
32:52
I like here, Noel, is you're getting We're getting a lot of
32:55
different We're getting a nice variety. It's
32:57
not like good Fellows straight down, you know, Jimmy
32:59
Conway or burn Over Um. Valerie
33:01
burns his heat a dinner scene
33:03
with Pacino. Another vote
33:06
for start Us from our old friend John millsap
33:08
Dan Turk says Wag the Dog. Christopher
33:11
Rennie, her old pal, says Travis Bickle easily.
33:15
Yeah, I mean we haven't even talked about Oh here we
33:17
go, Oh. Pete Drummond Man
33:20
After My Own Heart Midnight
33:22
Run one of my favorite
33:24
favorite all time comedies. So so
33:26
good. Our old friend Jeff
33:28
Clark's Cape fear tied with Awakenings,
33:32
as did Tracy de Martini said Awakenings,
33:35
she said, oh my god, I could start
33:37
crying just thinking about it. I forgot how
33:39
good that movie was. Did
33:41
you like that one Awakening? Yeah? I haven't seen
33:43
it. Is that the one where all the old people are
33:45
in the cocoons? Jesus
33:50
No. Awakenings is a true story of
33:53
of the doctor. I can't remember
33:55
the doctor's real name. What was it? Come
33:57
on, Chuck Robin Williams though, where
33:59
he works with bringing um
34:02
the de Niro character out of his not
34:05
a coma but his conditions. Okay,
34:07
Oh, I can't remember what the condition is exactly.
34:10
It's really good. That's interesting. I'll to check it out. I
34:12
remember it. I remember there had there was some coma
34:14
nests going on and awakening.
34:16
Right, it's about like awake, awakening from
34:18
a fugue state or some times. Yeah.
34:22
Another vote for Stardust from John SHAWL.
34:25
I'm interested to see that now. Actually, it's
34:27
coming up enough. I'd like to rewatch it because it's
34:29
definitely like a rollicking kind of adventure
34:32
in you know, a fairytale world. Kind of
34:34
movie. But for some reason, it didn't grab me when
34:36
I saw it, and I was primed to like it.
34:38
That was really into Neil Gaiman, and I
34:40
was like, oh, this is greatly great, and I just for some
34:43
reason, I didn't remember caring that much about it. I
34:45
know nothing about Neil Gaiman The
34:47
Sandman. You never read the Sandman comics,
34:50
never read it, So don't
34:52
read comics, that's okay. I didn't either until
34:55
I read Watchman and then I got into like, so
34:57
I did read watch Key graphic novels. I'm
34:59
not like a comic guy, but like I like a
35:01
handful. And they're starting
35:03
to see him turning into movies
35:06
and Netflix properties and stuff. Now
35:08
Sandman just got signed on to do a Netflix
35:10
series and it's a great story, really
35:12
cool. I want to check it up. Oh,
35:15
here's the one we haven't heard yet. Beatriz uh
35:18
As Evedo says al Capone in The Intouchables.
35:21
Yeah, I would argue with that he kind of goes
35:23
full full Pesci in that. Doesn't he like
35:25
smash somebody up with a baseball bat, like he
35:28
goes full al Capone. Well that's fair. I
35:30
guess maybe Pesci goes full to Nero. Well
35:34
past, she's just known for smashing people up and getting
35:36
upset. You know. He came out of retirement for this
35:38
new Scorsese pick The Irishman,
35:41
The Irishman. Yeah, I can't wait. Maybe help will
35:43
be good Sean McCaulay. Finally we get
35:45
to The Godfather Part two. I was waiting for someone to say
35:47
that, Um yeah,
35:49
Like, why hasn't anyone said that yet? Craig Reynolds
35:51
Once upon a Time in America, another
35:56
King of Comedy fan from Johnny
35:58
Mockney, and a lot
36:00
of people like Meet the Parents. No, a
36:02
lot of people are going with the with
36:06
the comedies there. Well, it's sort of like it revealed
36:08
him to be a pretty spot
36:10
on comedic actor, and I think
36:12
people appreciated his willingness to
36:14
take the piss out of himself kind of right yeah
36:16
yeah, and kind of play on his persona. I
36:19
like it. All Right, We're gonna finish this
36:21
up with this great comment from Heather
36:24
dub Coba Casino
36:28
or good Fellas or ship taxi
36:31
driver is great too. See
36:33
that's what happens. And only start to type a comment and
36:35
then everything
36:37
just starts popping into your head, you know, what I mean.
36:41
Alrighty, that's it. Everyone.
