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

you, Andrew, And we're gonna go with that.

16:19

What's your favorite movie year? And why We're

16:22

gonna start out with Oh, my

16:24

old friend Lea Mitchell Um five.

16:27

16:29

Seeking Susan Clue, Breakfast Club, Weird Science,

16:32

Pee's Big Adventure, saying almost fire teen Wolf,

16:34

16:37

16:40

Andre Camrud says, I

16:44

think he reference ninety nine a lot, don't you. I'm

16:46

about to do. That's what I'll have to drop. Is that? Okay?

16:49

Well let's talk about it then, because he lists

16:52

sorry to argue with these American beauty fight Club

16:54

toy story to Green Mile being John Malkovich

16:57

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

Nights, Jackie Brown, Men in Black,

20:05

Austin Powers, Fifth Element, Gross point

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

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

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.

36:44
