As a parent, you know it's

0:03

not just baby talk. Somebody's

0:05

hungry. So talk with your baby's

0:07

doctor about invasive pneumococcal disease,

0:09

or IPD, and ask how Prevnar 20

0:11

pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate

0:14

vaccine can help protect them. Children

0:16

under 2 are at increased risk, but

0:18

Prevnar 20 can help them develop more immunity

0:21

to 20

0:21

strains of bacteria that cause

0:23

IPD. Prevnar 20 is approved for children 6

0:25

weeks and older to help prevent infections from 20 strains

0:28

of bacteria that cause invasive pneumococcal disease.

0:30

Do not get Prevnar 20 if your child has had a severe

0:33

allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. Those

0:35

with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to

0:37

the vaccine. Talk to your health care provider before vaccination

0:40

if your baby was born prematurely. Side effects may include

0:42

irritability, pain, redness, swelling at the injection

0:44

site, drowsiness, muscle pain, decreased appetite,

0:46

headache, and fever. For full prescribing information,

0:49

please call 1-855-213-2138 or visit Prevnar20.com.

1:42

Welcome everyone to the

1:44

Film Vault. I'm Brian Fishbury,

1:46

your host. Here with Avery is going

1:48

to contribute to today's top five. I

1:51

hope we did. Yes,

1:53

Avery, yes. Yes, I did. Excellent.

1:55

Nice. I'm prepped. Top five,

1:58

the annual gift guide.

1:59

for the film lover things that you

2:02

can stick in your stocking under your tree

2:04

or whatever however you celebrate but

2:06

these are things that we think the film lover

2:09

in your life would enjoy now if

2:11

you're listening to the show that's probably you

2:13

you're probably the film lover so maybe

2:16

leave this episode conveniently

2:18

playing with a loved one in

2:21

your life or in the car you know and then

2:23

occasionally comment like yeah that'd be a cool

2:25

thing I'd like to have that wait about that

2:30

what what do you think about that is that a good right

2:32

what's that there

2:35

I like this

2:38

a bliminal messaging I like these

2:41

you think it's too subtle I can

2:43

tell you my own wife has listened to this episode

2:45

she doesn't listen to the program but she

2:47

has been known to listen to this episode to figure

2:50

out what what I want which is what my

2:52

mom has done the same I've gotten

2:55

a item or two on the list in your side

2:57

oh I've got something right up Andy's alley I

3:00

don't like that we worded that

3:04

if you're watching this episode we should also mention

3:06

that we're doing the show remote cuz Brian's got gallivanting

3:09

he's very excited about his new terrible mic that

3:11

he's using for the first time if

3:14

you are watching that is not a mistake well it is a mistake

3:16

but we're all aware that we can't see Avery's face

3:19

every want to duck down and say hi

3:22

there there he is that is Avery you see that and

3:25

we're we're doing it through a

3:27

room a new remote channel that we have not used

3:29

before and we're trying to experiment with the medium

3:32

and see if possibly this is

3:34

something we could do more often than not or at least

3:36

on a regular basis do remote shows

3:39

or when Brian's gallivanting yeah or when

3:41

I'm gallivanting I'm gonna be

3:43

in New York here in that in a couple weeks so we're not

3:46

a bitch so

3:48

excited for this episode it's always fun

3:51

to do the research and always find new

3:53

things and usually everything

3:55

on my list is something that I want to be

3:57

upset for having yeah

3:59

I

3:59

I think everything on there is something I would

4:02

at least consider getting for myself

4:04

Or something we already have so

4:07

true. Every why would you set up your your

4:09

home studio system so that your head is

4:11

completely cut off Possible

4:16

way to do it.

4:17

I feel like it's like a creeper

4:19

set up for Mutual

4:23

masturbation with live model This

4:26

is a this is a visual gag This

4:29

is for when I've been interviewed when you're

4:31

undercover when you're testifying against

4:33

the mob That's right. They

4:35

don't waste the SFX

4:37

budget on a Visual

4:40

Avery I should have asked you this before this

4:42

is the part of the show where we work out

4:45

technical details. Yeah Show

4:48

with you, right? Can you show me? I don't do that. Can

4:50

you share images of our items

4:53

on the screen? So Anderson is here to talk about

4:55

by versa

4:56

No idea how to do that. Okay,

4:59

Anderson I'm gonna send you my list or

5:01

the rare Instance where I send it to

5:03

you so that you can follow along

5:05

and see what I'm talking about I'll do the same

5:07

for you bride, right? I should think about doing the high

5:10

will to I'm

5:11

gonna do it on the remote show link

5:13

That help. No, no, I'll do it on the actual

5:16

The the been show notes. How

5:19

about that? Well, we'll all do it there. Okay, well

5:23

Wouldn't I right now? Yeah, what

5:26

what show notes?

5:27

Oh my god Show

5:31

notes each week. Oh Yeah,

5:34

I think even like a sidebar where you chat

5:36

or something. No, no,

5:37

stop trying to get all fancy

5:40

Also, I should say I'm hopefully you do the

5:42

same thing Brad right, but I have links I

5:44

have links to all the some

5:47

of them are Amazon and Obviously

5:50

for our own sake I made sure that it goes

5:52

through our links so that we will get

5:54

a couple cents back But I didn't I'm not

5:56

I'm not a company man and I'm not a real great businessman

5:58

as far as bringing money to my myself, Brian. So I

6:01

do not allow myself to only

6:04

do Amazon links

6:06

that will bring us a couple pennies on

6:08

the dollar. I found things

6:10

that are away from Amazon, which will not help us at all

6:12

if you end up clicking through a minus, but

6:14

it's what I think is worth being

6:17

on the list. Yes,

6:20

I've done the same. Avery, unfortunately,

6:23

I realize you're gonna have to

6:25

add the affiliate link to my links, but

6:27

at least got you halfway there, if not more.

6:30

All right, all that said, let's get to

6:32

the first half of the program.

6:33

Please. Let's talk about the films

6:36

you've seen. But first, what is

6:38

the listener's scene? Little fan-fliction

6:40

compiled by the Mitch

6:42

Burns, Johnny Pomato on Facebook

6:45

on early screening of Napoleon.

6:48

And kind of surprised by the tepid critical

6:50

reaction. I don't know what we expect a movie

6:52

like this to be now. Ridley Scott knows how to put

6:54

the money on the screen. And while there's some dubious

6:57

digital moments, there's even more where I tricked my

6:59

eye into thinking I was watching a real world location

7:02

with thousands of extras. Phoenix

7:04

brings a lot of weird humor, which is for trail

7:06

shocking, and gets some big unexpected,

7:08

but definitely intentional laughs. It is not

7:10

a masterpiece, but one of the better period epics

7:13

I've gotten. We have gotten in a while. You

7:15

know what that looks like? It looks like history book comes alive.

7:18

And yes, I'm afraid it's

7:20

really like a really high production value. Yeah.

7:23

But I don't know if there's gonna be a whole lot for me to hearken

7:25

back to. I just watched Kingdom of Heaven

7:28

for the first time on Sunday and kind

7:30

of felt the same way. It was very

7:32

well made, but I don't

7:33

know if I needed to see that. It's

7:36

like if History Channel had budget.

7:37

Yeah, it'd be like this would be the

7:40

best possible way to watch this chapter

7:42

in class. But I don't know if I need to be in class.

7:45

Quick question. Also History

7:47

Channel, I still cared about history and not aliens.

7:50

That's a good point.

7:51

I watched Kingdom of Heaven, like

7:53

you said, Avery, and as a movie, I remember

7:56

being good, but have no recollection of.

7:59

Yeah.

7:59

three and a half stars.

8:01

Sure. And I know I'm kind

8:03

of alone here, but I feel kind of the same

8:05

way about Gladiator. I was not a giant fan of that.

8:08

It felt like history pages. I thought there

8:10

was a lot of fun.

8:12

Yeah, they're very low on the fun

8:14

scale for Kingdom of Heaven. It was not having a

8:16

ton of fun.

8:17

You know who loves those movies though?

8:20

Ridley Scott. You know what I'm

8:22

saying? He certainly loves his

8:24

known work. Loves it. Tim

8:26

Capetta on Facebook. I saw the Kane

8:29

Mutiny Court Marshal. Phenomenal

8:32

masterclass in acting. I

8:34

remember the ensemble cast delivered and

8:36

ended with a wallop of an ending. Excellent

8:38

swan song for Billy Friedkin who will be

8:41

dearly missed.

8:43

Yeah, that guy, guys, you haven't seen it, but

8:45

it felt so made for TV yet it still

8:47

gets its hooks in you and it's a very good procedural. Procedural.

8:51

Procedural. Procedural.

8:53

Yes. Ooh, Ty. Ooh, Ty.

8:56

Jack Carpenter on Facebook watched all three

8:58

parts of Blackberry. Smart.

9:01

Very good. Loved the soundtrack. Opened

9:03

up with no FX. I didn't see the theatrical

9:06

version so I don't know what was added. I

9:08

found myself feeling a little bit bad for the guys when

9:10

they saw the iPhone introduced but at the same

9:12

time they were too busy playing around rather than

9:14

staying cutting edge.

9:17

That is true. They

9:18

also love the feel of

9:20

the Blackberry. They go into depth about that.

9:22

It's movie night. There's a lot of movie night.

9:25

There is a lot of movie night. And

9:28

honestly what derailed them was the hockey involvement,

9:30

kind of like Anderson two-timing us

9:32

with the Penguins. Yeah, yeah, they really sunk

9:35

the whole thing. Hey, if I never told you

9:37

guys downfall that I was listening to that

9:39

Penguin game a couple weeks ago while doing the show

9:41

you would have had no idea. I would

9:43

have thought something was up like you were distracted. No, you would

9:45

not have. You were having existential

9:48

crises.

9:49

No, that's an absolute lie, Brian. You had no idea

9:52

until I mentioned it.

9:54

I might be doing it right now. Who knows?

9:57

No, same. A.E. Paynut on

9:59

Instagram.

9:59

The Holdovers was another AP masterpiece.

10:03

It might be Giamatti's best performance to

10:05

date. I agree. AP is

10:07

good. AP's use of alcohol in

10:09

movies is superior. Nebraska and

10:11

Sideways are also great examples. Took

10:14

my teen

10:14

son and he loved it too. That

10:24

kid was great. Bought it the whole time.

10:27

And lastly,

10:29

Mitch Burns saw Eli Roth's Thanksgiving.

10:33

This movie is wild and actually made me feel a bit

10:35

gross. Not a surprise. Would

10:38

be one of the best watch-alongs ever.

10:40

Especially if the guys don't watch it beforehand. And

10:43

for those who don't know, it is based on one of the fake trailers

10:46

in Grind House. You all know and

10:48

they had no intention of ever making a movie

10:50

of that. However,

10:53

a lot of people were clamoring. So

10:55

here we are years and years later and they finally

10:57

said, okay, here's your fucking Thanksgiving that you guys

10:59

wanted so badly. That was just a fake little trailer. I

11:02

saw... Hey, we did Green Inferno

11:04

as they watch along, so why not do a little

11:07

Thanksgiving? It's gotta be streaming soon, right? It's true.

11:10

Yeah, I think it is like midnight tonight.

11:13

I saw a

11:15

little advanced screening. Tell

11:17

me. We're filming theaters. Saw it

11:20

in 35 millimeter.

11:21

Saw a little May-December

11:23

with an intro by Todd

11:26

Haynes. The man himself was there. I

11:28

saw your text. Okay, what do you think?

11:30

It was very...

11:33

It's one of those movies where I really, really

11:35

enjoyed it. The acting's phenomenal, but I

11:37

left the movie going, I'm not quite sure

11:39

what I just saw or what he was trying to say.

11:43

I was kind of, again, a little

11:45

bit leaning on the ending and he does not do

11:47

any spoon feeding. I think that really

11:49

leads it to you to figure out what exactly

11:52

he was saying. I thought it was very interesting. A

11:55

bit of a throwback with the scorch, sort of the

11:57

80s and 90s.

11:59

sex thrillers, like fatal

12:03

attraction, that sort of thing. He's definitely poking

12:05

fun at that a bit. But I found it very

12:07

enjoyable. And like I said, the acting was phenomenal.

12:10

I got Julian Moore, Natalie Portman, excellent.

12:12

And the kid I keep, I think it's

12:14

Charles Melton. He's become Charles Charlton

12:17

Heston. Whatever

12:20

the name is. Charles Melton, but whenever I

12:22

see his name, I think Charlton Heston.

12:24

He was also phenomenal. I think he would know him from

12:27

Riverdale, Brian, I'm sure Christie's probably

12:29

subjected you

12:29

to that. Sure. To be clear, this

12:32

is not Charles Heston. It

12:34

is not. Charles Melton. And I

12:36

think that should be on Netflix in- Is this not

12:38

Charles Nelson Riley? No. December,

12:40

and for those of you who don't know of no idea, it's

12:43

a movie where Julian Moore

12:45

takes place in 2015. And

12:48

they're kind of flashing back to her in the 90s.

12:50

She was a teacher who was 39 and

12:53

she was sleeping with a seventh

12:55

grade kid and ends up going

12:57

on to marry and have kids with this guy. So

13:00

we're in present day where she is, I think, 59. He's 36

13:03

and they have three 18 year old children.

13:06

And that's about as complicated

13:08

as you would think. And Natalie

13:10

Portman is an actress who is coming to

13:12

interview her and shadow her and ultimately

13:15

play her on the screen.

13:17

So there's a lot of art blending with

13:19

life and it

13:21

gets messy, as you might imagine.

13:23

So very enjoyable. Choose the

13:25

scenery and great acting. And again, very

13:27

curious once you guys see it, because I'm not sure

13:30

what I saw. Exactly. Can

13:32

I tell you, I'm very thankful that you actually

13:34

made it to the screen and I'm

13:36

jealous, but I'm happy that you brought it to the show. I

13:39

also years ago was able to see, I

13:41

think it was far from heaven or something where Todd Haynes showed

13:43

up and I did a little- It came to an end. It

13:46

was not, Brian, because that is nothing to do with Todd Haynes.

13:48

But Todd Haynes is one of the best working directors

13:51

out there. And he takes care of his audience. He might

13:53

not spoon feed you, but everything

13:55

that's on screen is intentional.

13:58

Like most great directors take care of it.

13:59

I had a lot of humor there,

14:02

which I failed to mention. A lot of humor there. A lot of

14:04

the time he misses the humor, or at least

14:06

it misses with me. And a lot of his movies are very mopey,

14:09

with Carol very mopey. This

14:12

was not mopey. This was not a mopey movie.

14:14

This is very, he's having fun here.

14:16

He did one of my all-time favorites, which is Velvet Goldmine.

14:19

And of course, we reference him often

14:21

when talking about Superstar, the movie

14:24

about Karen Carpenter that he made with all Barbies

14:26

and Kendall.

14:28

And it's not appreciated if you put your hood back

14:30

on.

14:31

No, I'm not doing an Elliot for the entire episode. Yeah,

14:34

I need a big, red riding hood. I'm

14:36

wearing my red

14:38

structural dynamics of flow sweatshirt,

14:41

and it's cold out here in the garage. And

14:43

there's a mosquito out in the garage, which is bizarre. It's

14:46

not what you want.

14:47

No, it's not. Okay. Should

14:49

we tease the upcoming family

14:52

gift episode, the family gift episode? Sure. It's

14:54

going to be a big one. It's going to be a good one. A

14:56

couple of notable names are not going to

14:58

be able to make it, unfortunately, but I feel like

15:02

they're going to be filled in for nicely. So Brian,

15:04

why don't you go take it?

15:05

I don't know who's not coming, but yes,

15:08

Florence Brahmara will be here. Diana

15:11

Vandykamp, all the way from Ireland will be

15:13

here. Hopefully Avery will be here.

15:15

Who is not coming? My co-auto, myself,

15:18

the two holdouts because of nine to five

15:20

jobs, because they work for the man are Tyler.

15:24

Whites will not be able to make it and Logan

15:26

Moy will not be able to make it. Did Tyler get a job?

15:29

He does have a job. He works for Rivian.

15:31

Rivian. Oh, the truck company. Well,

15:33

it's Rivian. So every day is like, don't

15:36

need gas, Rivian.

15:38

Hashtag

15:39

what's gas? Yeah, you should have a tweet.

15:42

They are like tweets. I don't have to wake up to

15:44

do it.

15:47

And we're also going to be doing this live

15:49

on tape from

15:51

the one, the only Chateau Momon. Oh,

15:54

beautiful. Chateau Momon. Christmas

15:56

time at the Chateau Momon. So we got

15:58

more Chateau with Florence.

15:59

and Diana and Avery and Brian

16:02

and Mike Carano and me and it's gonna be good. Good

16:05

time. White elephant will have some eggnog. It

16:10

could be a good time.

16:12

Alright let's do a little flick face. Talk

16:15

about the movies you've seen in the last week.

16:18

Anderson, you and I are gonna line up

16:20

on three of these movies. We were assigned

16:22

two and we saw a movie

16:25

we had forgotten, I had forgotten, was

16:28

coming out in theaters but was very anticipated

16:30

by me. Next school wins.

16:33

Wait a minute, hold on. Wait we need to go back. Oh actually

16:35

you know what we'll go back a second once

16:37

we get to Sick of Myself and I

16:39

want to hear Avery's take on dream scenario because

16:41

you've seen dream scenarios

16:43

since last we saw him. Same veteran director.

16:46

Yes Brian and I gather you saw

16:48

Sick of Myself first.

16:50

I heard something about that. I'm

16:54

not sure that's entirely accurate. Brian never

16:56

mentioned that. No

16:58

Avery, I can't even tell them I'm listening. No I

17:00

saw it first.

17:02

Okay.

17:03

Hey am I over modulating because I'm going in the

17:05

red. I don't believe so. I need

17:07

to take myself down a little bit. There we go. Alright better.

17:09

Okay.

17:11

Next school wins. Take it away Brian.

17:14

Sorry for the interruption.

17:15

That was quite the diversion there. Hold on. Yeah

17:17

it really was. Next school

17:20

wins is a 2023 film directed by Taika

17:22

Waititi starring

17:25

Michael

17:25

Fassbender, Oscar Knightley,

17:28

Kaimana,

17:29

David Fain, Alexis Moss, Will Arnett

17:32

and the aforementioned Taika

17:34

Waititi. Sadly this

17:36

comes in at just 41% currently on Rotten

17:40

Tomatoes. We're at 41%. 41% I hate to

17:42

say

17:42

it but that

17:46

makes me feel okay.

17:48

Meaning what?

17:50

Meaning I

17:51

do not enjoy this movie. Yeah I feel

17:53

like that rating is about right. And I

17:55

was afraid that I was going to be wrong

17:58

again but it's

17:59

nice to hear.

17:59

Now I think you and I are on the same page.

18:02

I didn't hate it, but there were parts that

18:04

I hated.

18:05

This is a great plane movie. I kept thinking

18:07

that. No, we'll put it. We'll put it. You

18:10

need to have, to be able to describe

18:12

what a movie is. This feels like a streaming

18:14

movie, right? It feels like a streaming movie.

18:17

It feels like a half-baked movie. It feels like

18:19

something that they kind of just did for fun and didn't

18:21

put a whole lot of heart and

18:23

mind into it, even though I've heard him in interviews

18:25

and read stuff of him talking about the movie. And

18:28

I don't know if that's entirely true. I

18:30

want to be clear. I love this man. He's

18:32

a genius. He's very good. Yeah. Director

18:34

of Thor Ragnarok, famously,

18:37

The Hunt for the Wilderwebel, and

18:39

Chisler Rabbit. Boy. I

18:43

didn't love Jojo Rabbit either. I was kind of alone

18:45

there, but. Oh, Jojo Rabbit

18:47

is far, far, far better movie than

18:49

this. This one is all about

18:52

a true life story of Pacific Islanders, Samoan,

18:56

American Samoa. American Samoa.

18:59

And how they were the worst soccer football

19:02

team in the history of international

19:04

play. And they lost 31-0. And

19:07

now here we are years later, and they're trying to

19:09

get a team fielded where the goal

19:12

is to just score one goal. Not

19:14

win a match, but just score a goal. And

19:17

that's the whole story. And it's all

19:19

right there, and it's pretty easy to make a feel-good, fun

19:21

story with fun characters.

19:24

For

19:26

what I was not anticipating, even though

19:28

it was Taiki Wai'atiti, was that it was

19:30

gonna be all buffoons throughout.

19:33

The buffoonery. The characters

19:35

are broad characters.

19:37

But for one,

19:38

which,

19:40

I heard him patting himself on the back that they didn't make

19:42

a big deal about the one who happened to be

19:44

transgender, but it felt like the whole

19:46

movie kind of became

19:48

a giant deal about that one character. She

19:50

was the only one that was not a buffoon. And

19:53

the rest of the characters, for the most part, absolute

19:55

and utter buffoons.

19:56

They're like the Cosby kids. Like,

19:59

they're a group. test characters.

20:01

They are. And I know that he's, you

20:04

know, native indigenous

20:06

of New Zealand and he has a lot of similarities

20:09

with the native Americans over here. And

20:11

I guess there's similarities in crossover with America

20:13

Samoa, but he's not like an American Samoan, right?

20:16

And it felt weird that he was poking all this fun at this,

20:19

this culture and these

20:21

football players, it just, it, whenever

20:23

it was supposed to be funny, I'm like, it's funny cause they're so dumb,

20:26

but it's not funny. We're simple folk.

20:29

I did not. I did not enjoy who was more

20:31

simple, uh, killers of the flower moon or the

20:33

individuals in this film.

20:35

I, there's a lot of parallels because

20:37

it's weird.

20:38

Cause we live in such a, like, you know,

20:40

the word woke gets thrown around all over the place.

20:42

And you know, it's definitely had some effect on the way we

20:44

see things. But I can tell you that if I saw,

20:47

I

20:48

promise you, if I saw this one or

20:50

killers of the flower moon 10 years ago, I'd be like,

20:52

it feels weird laughing at native Americans

20:54

and feels weird laughing at these native,

20:58

uh, American Samoan. I guess the

21:00

difference is flower moon wasn't

21:02

played for laughs or is this is. I

21:05

think it had to have been there. The butt of the joke. Throughout.

21:10

And it'd be, I think I might've had a different experience

21:13

or reaction. If it was New Zealand, uh,

21:16

people that this was happening to him, it

21:18

was like his own people and his own, but it was

21:20

weird that it was American. And now is there more

21:22

of a connection that I'm missing?

21:25

Um, maybe I have no idea. Uh,

21:27

I did find there speaking of Mr. Wathiti

21:29

who like you said, does make really good movies.

21:33

I was really taken out of the

21:35

movie at certain points when I was like,

21:37

this is shockingly

21:39

incompetent filmmaking. Like it

21:42

felt like you said, it felt like they put a lot

21:44

of heart into it. At some point it felt

21:46

amateurish.

21:48

It did. It felt made for TV.

21:50

And I think part of that, and

21:52

I was trying to

21:53

put my finger on, on if it was rush

21:55

job or if there's limitations

21:58

of others, but I think. And

22:00

it's not the first time that this has happened with Michael Fassbender.

22:03

I think he's the problem. Meaning

22:05

what? He's a common thread. He's often,

22:08

you know, working hard in his bad movies. I

22:11

think the casting was wrong

22:13

for

22:14

him because he's just too good. And

22:16

I don't know if he does comedy all that well. Oh,

22:18

interesting. But he doesn't belong in this movie. It

22:21

should be in the line, Howard. Just based on

22:23

the trailer it seemed kind of like that, where

22:25

I wasn't quite sure what his character's deal is.

22:29

Every time he's on screen, which is most of the time, there's like

22:32

two different tones going on. And they're clashing and not

22:34

in a good way. And the same thing happened with

22:36

Snowman with him.

22:39

Although, okay, so here's a question.

22:41

Your assertion that a director's number

22:43

one job is to get a good performance

22:45

out of the actor. And obviously we know Michael

22:48

Fassbender is capable of doing such.

22:51

Is this a failure on the director's part?

22:54

I think so. I didn't feel like his heart was in

22:56

it. That's what just kept going into

22:59

my head. I feel like no one knew. Yeah.

23:01

I should have recognized the signs. I guess this

23:03

is extraneous to the film. But

23:06

when the trailers, like the trailer

23:09

wasn't just a standard

23:11

trailer. It was

23:13

Taika Waititi himself speaking

23:15

to camera saying, like, I started

23:18

this movie knowing nothing about soccer. And I knew

23:20

even less when I finished. That's

23:22

what we were actually talking about. I think when

23:25

we saw Holdovers again was it's never

23:27

a good sign when the trailer for a movie is the

23:29

director just talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It

23:31

seems like the kiss of death in the movie, though. Like he's

23:33

talking directly to the screen in the movie as well. He does it

23:35

once. I didn't know a couple of times. I

23:38

didn't like that at all. I mean, that kind of sums

23:40

up the style of comedy here, where

23:43

I love his comedy or I just it falls

23:45

flat for me. And it fell really flat for me here. Comedies

23:48

are funny, though. You know, comedies are funny.

23:50

Yeah, it's you know, it all depends on

23:52

your comedic taste in your

23:55

your your sense of humor. And my sense

23:57

of humor does not line up with this one didn't line up with with Joe.

23:59

JoJo, but it's dead with Ragnarok and it's dead with Wilder

24:02

people. Absolutely. I fucking love it. It's

24:04

tough because I don't have a solution here. It's like,

24:06

I don't know, my instinct is like,

24:09

oh, the characters are wacky. Let's fuck with the

24:11

characters. But the

24:12

movie was all about the characters.

24:16

And ultimately, it

24:18

tried to make a big, it felt like it

24:20

tried to make a big statement that I did not buy

24:22

at all. It just kind of made me feel icky with

24:24

the whole like, look at the, look,

24:27

look at the hero and the arc

24:30

and they didn't do a good job at selling

24:32

her character. Like she just kind of seemed

24:34

whiny and powerful. The transgender character?

24:37

I didn't empathize with her like they wanted me

24:39

to because I mean, I don't,

24:41

I, we can't, we can't give things away, but it wasn't

24:44

a character. I couldn't really get on board with any of the

24:46

characters. I didn't really care for any of them one way

24:48

or the other. And the

24:51

one, the ones that

24:53

I like that I could have liked most words is very one-dimensional.

24:56

Yeah. Yeah. You're right.

24:58

So you might enjoy this on a plane.

25:00

Your mom might like this movie.

25:02

Uh, I, I for one,

25:04

not I prefer it to have plenty

25:07

of people tell me, Oh, it was so cute. It's

25:09

like, I guess.

25:11

I was afraid that it was going to be like in the eighties

25:13

on the old rotten tomatoes. Hey, will

25:15

you point your mic a little bit more towards your, uh,

25:18

towards your sternum? Cause there you

25:20

go. Sorry, leaning in. I'm leaning into

25:22

this new mic. Yeah.

25:25

I lean returning that new mic. Wow.

25:27

That's really me. That's where I'm leaning. So

25:30

I, I would give this the two star

25:32

movie.

25:33

Yeah. I think so. I

25:36

don't think I even laughed out loud.

25:39

Yeah. I can't remember if I did at all. I

25:42

don't think I did.

25:44

Yeah. All right. I think, I do think that if

25:46

it was cast with a different coach and

25:48

he took more control of the tone, a

25:50

lot of the time that the lead will take, you know, a

25:53

bit of control of the tone of

25:55

the movie and the director doesn't, it was, definitely

25:57

Taiki YT T's hope

25:59

in saying that. partially, right? It

26:01

was his ethos and his tone, but

26:03

his lead didn't

26:06

fit. And he wasn't supposed to fit,

26:08

but it wasn't the good non-fit. It

26:10

wasn't like a Walter Matthau, Bad

26:12

News Bears kind of.

26:14

It wasn't.

26:15

And Yeah, it wasn't Kent Eggres enough.

26:18

And the whole thing was like, they were really leaning

26:20

on him supposed to be that he was supposed to be learning

26:22

about how to keep us cool because he

26:24

was an angry, angry coach, which we've seen a hundred times.

26:26

And we saw it earlier this year with champions

26:28

with Woody Harrelson, right? And,

26:31

and

26:32

it just, it just felt flimsy. And

26:34

then like, he would get really angry all the time. And all

26:37

of a sudden, then you're like, Oh yeah, that's what he was supposed to not be

26:39

doing. And really, ultimately, the movie's about grief.

26:42

The movie's about grief, which gets revealed

26:44

later, you know, about halfway through, but I

26:46

don't really,

26:47

and Elizabeth Moss once again, like a great

26:50

she's in this and she's completely

26:53

like just buried. She has, she has nothing to do,

26:55

but

26:56

drink a beer and kind of look, look at

26:58

her ex-husband. That's all she can do. Yeah, it's weird.

27:01

And she has nothing to do. Like,

27:03

why would she take this role? I guess she just likes Taiki.

27:05

Credit worst to the

27:08

reveal. I actually liked, maybe

27:10

would have liked more of that. I don't know.

27:12

More of that story.

27:14

Yeah. Because

27:15

I think that's what the whole movie centered around,

27:17

right? Is grief and how you deal with grief. Has

27:21

ever been funny in a role before?

27:24

Frank. So

27:26

he's, I got to, I, full disclosure,

27:28

have not seen Frank. Is he, watch Frank

27:30

the Thanksgiving man. You do yourself a favor. Frank's

27:33

giving. I'll add that to the list. Frank's giving.

27:36

I have a Frank's giving. White mate, dark mate. No,

27:38

we'll be Frank. All

27:41

right, let's move on. We're on the clock. Now I'm thinking, is

27:43

this fast matter ever funny?

27:45

Frank.

27:46

He's great. He is not

27:48

funny in Frank.

27:50

Yes, he is. He's all over the place. He plays a mentally

27:52

ill character. You don't see his face at all.

27:54

Avery until maybe one, but he is

27:57

underneath that paper machine head throughout the entire

27:59

movie. And he's.

27:59

He's

28:01

got a lot of energy. What is it? He's

28:03

hyper manic

28:05

and he's got a lot of ideas and a lot of thoughts

28:07

and he's writing songs and yeah, there's a lot

28:09

of humor. A lot of humor there. Added

28:11

to the list.

28:12

Are we taking a break? Yes.

28:14

Oh, look at Brian calling the shots. I'm

28:17

just asking questions over here.

Alright, we're

29:41

back. Thanks for sticking with us. Let's

29:43

talk. You want to talk Mononoke or you want

29:45

to talk Sick of Myself? Either

29:48

or, Brian. Mononoke, Princess

29:50

Mononoke is a 1997 film

29:53

written and directed

29:55

by Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki,

29:59

hola, who's our host? here it is, Leaf

30:01

Nordling. Thanks for leaving. I

30:03

said, Leaf or Lafe?

30:05

Lafe. I spoke with Lafe yesterday. I was at

30:07

Mike Corono's place doing some stuff for the documentary.

30:10

And I had my time screwed up, and I thought I was supposed to talk

30:12

to Lafe an hour after I was done with Mike. But

30:15

it was while I was at Mike's. So I sat in Mike's, Corono's,

30:19

the bridge, the

30:22

captain's chair that he has from Star Trek in

30:24

his living room. I sat in that chair. I've

30:26

never sat in that chair before, and I've been over there countless times.

30:29

And I did my little

30:31

breakdown of Princess Mononoke with Lafe

30:34

Nording, our assigner. Is

30:36

it Nording or Nordling? I have Nordling.

30:39

Nordling. And Lafe, interesting

30:41

fellow, and he lives in Luxembourg,

30:44

which is the smallest country in the world.

30:47

It's a constitutional monarchy. And

30:50

Lafe let me know that he... Can I let

30:52

that go?

30:54

Yeah, I will. He turned a couple

30:56

ladies on to our show, and they

30:59

listened, and they got back to

31:01

him and said, hey, I don't like those guys. Was

31:04

it you and Avery? I

31:06

don't know why Lafe let

31:08

me know that. Now I'm just thinking that all ladies

31:10

hate us. I have that effect on women.

31:12

I'm very likable.

31:14

Let's talk Princess Mononoke.

31:16

Back to it, Brian. Sorry. Princess Mononoke,

31:19

yes, like I said, 1997 film

31:21

written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

31:24

93% of Rotten Tomatoes is

31:27

streaming on HBO Max. This

31:29

was number six on Roger Ebert's

31:31

Best Movies of the Year list that year.

31:34

And it got me wondering, Anderson, how

31:36

are these movies never up for best animated feature?

31:39

Like these are consistently high

31:41

quality films.

31:43

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe they don't even submit. I don't know. I

31:45

don't know how that all works. Talking

31:48

to Lafe, he's fairly deeply steeped

31:50

in the, especially the Ghibli, Ghibli,

31:52

Ghibli, Ghibli, Ghibli, Ghibli, Ghib. You

31:55

covered on our list. He likes both,

31:59

whether it's Ghibli or Ghibli. And he was pointing

32:01

out some interesting facts that I hadn't really even thought about, but

32:05

animation's huge over in Japan and their studios, and a lot

32:07

of that has to do with space being so limited, they don't

32:09

have a whole lot of space for giant sound

32:13

stages and studios. Sure. Production,

32:15

offhills. A lot of the time they will do the

32:17

animation, and he also pointed out the fact that they

32:20

dub after, so a lot of the time they dub

32:24

before, after, so a lot of the time

32:26

the mouth

32:28

doesn't line up with the Japanese

32:30

subtitle either. So it

32:32

almost is a little bit better with the English. I watched

32:34

the English dub here, I was told that that was a good one to watch

32:37

with Billy Bob Thornton. I don't think I had a choice, they're

32:39

fired up on Max and it's giving me the English

32:41

dub.

32:42

Okay, well you could have paid for the Japanese dub. I'm

32:45

not going to do that. You don't want

32:47

to do that with Akira, because it's a terrible,

32:49

terrible dub.

32:50

But this one, the dub- Akira

32:53

is unique in the fact that they did the voice

32:55

recording before and animated to the voice

32:57

recording. So it's accurate with the Japanese

32:59

when they're speaking.

33:00

Okay, they don't do that all the time. No,

33:02

that's why it's pretty impressive

33:04

seeing it.

33:07

So Princess Mononoke, people have been trying

33:09

to get me to watch this for a long time. Long before

33:11

I actually

33:12

bent the knee and

33:14

decided that I was wrong

33:16

and that this style of animation

33:18

is absolutely fantastic. This style

33:21

of storytelling is great and I've been turning

33:23

my back on it for too long. It's

33:25

been a couple years now that we've been opening

33:27

our hearts and our minds to this style. Especially

33:30

the Ghibli, Ghibli, Ghibli. Thanks to our listeners,

33:32

our signers. We've gone down this

33:34

road now a number of times and

33:38

I feel like I

33:39

feel like I went from

33:42

uneducated to semi-educated on

33:44

this topic. So I feel like

33:46

Miyazaki specifically,

33:49

but this type of animation is to have the film that's

33:51

recognizable. You know what it is and

33:54

especially Miyazaki, you know you're

33:56

going to get grotesque creatures and

33:58

you're not in a bad way. I mean

34:00

like bizarre fantastical creatures

34:03

that are you know

34:05

a visual treat I guess to look at. It's

34:08

a little Guillermo-esque in that way. It's

34:10

a little uh... It's a bit of a testering. Bongjun

34:13

Ho who did a Parasite

34:15

and all those movies? Bongjun.

34:18

Yeah, there you go. Yeah it's similar in

34:20

the sense he did the one with a

34:22

few different creature movies. Ok

34:24

so I thought I should say that I for

34:27

whatever reason I couldn't avoid Spirited

34:30

Away years and years ago and that was up

34:32

for best money we want and

34:35

I just kind of stopped there which is foolish because

34:37

I loved Spirited Away. I still love it. It's

34:39

still my favorite and I know I'm a basic bitch for that but

34:42

it's still my favorite

34:44

Miyazaki that this style

34:46

animation anime ever made. Now

34:49

that said

34:51

we've seen other synths that we like very much.

34:53

Now Nausicaa I like quite a bit. I've seen it

34:55

twice now. I saw it once in the theater and I saw it at home.

34:58

Before that I took Atticus to see it in the theater this last

35:00

summer and we've seen My

35:02

Neighbor Toto

35:04

Toro and now Princess Mononoke.

35:07

I was starting to say years ago somebody

35:09

sent me a Blu-ray DVD of Princess

35:11

Mononoke. Oh my! And

35:14

I didn't ever unwrap it. Oh no! I

35:16

will get to it eventually and I just never did. Here

35:19

we are. We finally got to it. Brian why don't

35:21

you set up a story for those who might not know

35:23

and let's try and sell it to people who might not have

35:25

taken it away. The worst thing you can ask me to

35:27

do in this show Anderson is recap the story

35:29

of these movies because I don't think the story

35:32

is. It's

35:33

the theme. Yeah you're right it's more about themes

35:35

and ideas

35:37

but yes there is a there

35:41

is a even a prince is a warrior

35:43

and a young man teenager

35:46

whatever 20 years old and he lives

35:49

in like a remote village and they're attacked by

35:51

these

35:52

kind of parasitic

35:54

kind of demon like a demon right

35:56

who like infects him and his

35:58

hand starts to kind of demon. materialized

36:00

like, Oh, you're going to die. You've been bitten by the

36:02

demon. And he has

36:05

to go find not Mononoke.

36:07

She's the one, he finds the other one,

36:10

the mini driver, the

36:12

mini driver character. And she is

36:14

the queen or the princess of like a different

36:16

village, Iron City or Iron Town.

36:19

Yeah. She represents humanity

36:21

in humans and not in humans

36:23

and progress and technology. And there's

36:25

fun out there for set hundreds of years ago. Yeah.

36:29

And

36:31

he's got with where he was bit, it's

36:33

got a bit of a venom type effect

36:35

where it makes his arm extra strong

36:38

and all things felt like venom too,

36:40

because these boars in the beginning, it's the boars

36:42

that get infected with this, these like worm-y

36:45

type black, like slimy things

36:47

that are very grotesque, very gross. And

36:50

he saves the village and like Brian

36:52

says, gets, gets infected, but then it gives him great power

36:54

where he could like shoot an arrow

36:56

at his enemy and it decapitates it

36:59

is, it is violent. Cause I, so

37:01

I rewatched this last week as well. Uh,

37:03

cause I hadn't seen this since I was 12 and I

37:06

did not remember being this violent

37:09

there's decapitation, there's dismemberment

37:11

and it's not like it's lost screen or they, they

37:14

shy away from the blood. It is fountains

37:16

of blood from the decapitation. You'll

37:18

be happy to know that I wrote down decapitation

37:21

and dismemberance.

37:22

Oh yeah. I think, I think that's one of the reasons

37:24

that now I like this movie quite a bit.

37:26

I don't know where you two land. That was very enjoyable.

37:29

I enjoy it. Yeah.

37:30

I think one of the reasons, and this is just a theory,

37:32

I could be wrong, but I think one of the reasons why the,

37:35

the audience is so large

37:37

for this is because they do like his movies.

37:39

They do like the style of animation, but they

37:41

wanted more, you know, the same with like the,

37:43

uh, the people who liked the spandex comic book movies

37:46

and Marvel movies, like they, a lot of them want like an R

37:48

rated version. They want more blood

37:50

and guts and more adult themes. And this one

37:52

delivers on, on those. You're not going to like this

37:54

comparison, but it's kind of like Deadpool where

37:57

you get the superhero vibe, but there's

37:59

no, yeah. Yeah, it's more gratuitous. Because

38:02

I ultimately, it's so similar.

38:04

It's so very similar to Nausicaa, Princess

38:07

of the Valley. That was Valley of the Wind.

38:10

Valley of the Wind. Nausicaa, I

38:12

love Nausicaa. Absolutely, but that was one

38:15

of my entry points too. And I've seen it twice

38:17

and I have a, it's more special

38:19

place in my heart, but for that one, but

38:21

it's rougher around the edges, which I kind of like. And

38:25

it seems like Mononoke, he kind of refined

38:28

everything and made a better version of Nausicaa

38:30

in many respects and a more adult version, but I still

38:32

like the bug version more

38:34

with Nausicaa. And I think I like the voice acting more

38:37

in Nausicaa, to be honest. I like Patrick

38:39

Stewart and some of the other voice actors a little more

38:41

than, I don't

38:42

know, the lead in this. I didn't love

38:44

what he was doing. Feel the cool ups?

38:46

Yeah, whoever,

38:48

he thought he was a little, not stiff, but a

38:50

little, I don't know, naive and plain

38:52

Jane for me. I do wonder what

38:55

it was like this better and I've seen it first,

38:57

like you mentioned Anderson. Yeah. Like

38:59

I do think I like Nausicaa better, but

39:02

I wonder if it's just because I'm familiar

39:04

with, I know the rhythm now,

39:06

you know what I mean? I know the music. That

39:08

said, I found this enjoyable. It's

39:11

not my sweet spot, but this is a

39:13

blind spot that I'm glad

39:15

I'm addressing.

39:16

And there's some very

39:19

bizarre shit in here. Yeah. And

39:21

in talking about him and his

39:24

work, I've said this before, it doesn't feel

39:26

like he's reaching and trying to be weird

39:28

for the sake of being weird. It feels like these stories

39:30

and these ideas just kind of spill out of him and he has no

39:32

choice. Kind of like a Giger, right? Kind of like

39:34

HR Giger. Kind of like Giger, yeah. Like he can't help himself. That's

39:37

a great, great compliment. He's just who he is. HR

39:39

Giger. And he retired like

39:41

four films ago and he just can't, I think that's

39:43

a testament too, to like how this man just has

39:46

these things inside of him and they just fall out of his head.

39:48

He can't help it. He can't keep him in. And

39:51

there's more

39:52

examples of that with this one, with the,

39:55

I mean, there's a decapitation of

39:57

a majestic creature. What happened?

39:59

I found that very troubling

40:02

as a child. I did not enjoy the elk

40:06

with the man's face. I did not like

40:08

that. So

40:11

many listeners heard that we were watching

40:13

this one and they're thrilled. They couldn't

40:15

wait for us to watch it. I feel like we're letting some

40:17

of them down because I think that maybe we're just

40:20

missing something, but I think that a lot of people feel

40:22

that this is his best work. I think there's

40:24

definitely an argument to be made for that. Yeah, it's

40:26

very, um,

40:28

what's the word? It's fully realized.

40:30

You know what I mean? Like, I feel like he's making

40:32

exactly the movie you wanted to make.

40:35

I feel that way too, but spirited

40:37

away from me. I've not seen it. Yeah, I've

40:39

seen that one.

40:40

Oh my God. But I got a lot of war back

40:42

to the listeners being thrilled. We're going to watch it. A lot of warnings.

40:45

Do not watch this with the boy. Yeah. What would

40:47

have probably watched it. I didn't, I'm glad I didn't

40:49

have to explain it because

40:53

it's not quite as grotesque as your rub, but

40:55

it gets close. Why are the worms crawling out of his

40:58

eyes and he's decapitating them. And there's

41:02

some hard, I was trying, I was telling life that

41:04

I was trying to eat dinner while watching this and I

41:06

pushed the side. Yeah. It was not, it's not a good

41:09

meal. What age I was going to ask this, what age would

41:11

you let your kids watch this?

41:13

Probably depending on the kid, probably between nine and 12.

41:16

Yeah. Middle school.

41:19

But I love the wolves. Um,

41:22

I, yeah, I think you're right, Brian. And I think

41:24

that it's not fair to the movie. If we had seen this first,

41:27

however, a lot of the listeners who

41:29

have been talking about it, who love this and a lot of the,

41:31

just its audience, they've been watching all

41:33

along in succession as his

41:35

movies are released, you know, in real time. And so

41:37

they saw Nausicaa before, but

41:39

like this one more. So,

41:42

yeah, I don't know. I think that there is something to be said

41:44

for the, uh, the more PG-13 nature of it. Is

41:46

there, is there a minor quibble

41:48

here at these movies? This one specifically,

41:51

which is it's not a little long.

41:54

It's beautiful though. I think if we, if we saw it on

41:57

the big screen, we would, we would say that because

41:59

when I saw Nausicaa, on the big screen, even though it was rough around

42:01

the edges and some of the animation wasn't great. When

42:04

it was great, it really hit harder when you're seeing

42:06

the big screen. He's

42:08

got a new one out too, the boy and the heron.

42:11

I need to see that immediately. The

42:13

man can't retire. All right.

42:16

Can I hang it up? Let's

42:19

talk about the best movie I've seen all week. We

42:22

should have a winner each week too, Brian. In

42:24

terms of the movie you saw?

42:26

Yeah, I mean, each full of testing three movies.

42:28

Sure. I think of myself as the runaway

42:30

winner. 2022 Phil, the sick of- I

42:33

don't know about runaway. Monika is fucking great.

42:35

It's really, really good, but it'll have 100%

42:38

will have less impact. I totally

42:41

agree. Both can be good,

42:43

but this can clearly be better. Sick

42:46

of Myself is written directed

42:49

by Christopher Boguely. He,

42:51

the director and writer of, did you know, Dream

42:54

scenario? Really? Yeah.

42:57

I knew that. Which one did you see first?

43:00

I had the fortune of seeing this one first.

43:03

We're not doing it. 91% of Ron's fans.

43:06

Oh, I didn't write down where this is from. Where'd you guys

43:08

watch this?

43:10

Showtime. I think

43:13

that's right.

43:14

I know it's right because that's what I watched.

43:19

Three in a show, Dan. Yes. Did

43:21

you have the same experience as me, Anderson, which

43:23

is I chuckled

43:26

quite a bit throughout and laughed much more

43:28

than I thought I would.

43:30

Yeah. Now you tipped me off telling me that it

43:33

was a dark comedy. And if I had not known that

43:35

I

43:36

still didn't quite believe you. And 20 minutes

43:39

in, you don't really pick up that it's a comedy

43:41

unless somebody told you. I was annoyed

43:44

and I was like frustrated that there was still an hour and 20

43:46

minutes left in this movie because I hated the character so

43:48

much. They're unlikable. And

43:52

it quickly evolves and gets to

43:54

the point which is okay. So dream scenario

43:57

and interesting that we should credit chat

43:59

ice who.

43:59

brought us not only this but

44:02

he also brought us Lemon as

44:04

well as the Greasy Strangler and Greener

44:06

Grass. These are the movies that Chad has

44:09

thrust upon us. He's also one of the four editors on

44:14

Gruber's. He is a professional editor

44:16

and he really likes this type of dark

44:19

satirical comedy which I do

44:21

too. I

44:22

had to point out this is very slickly

44:25

made. This is not a rough around

44:27

the edges indie. This is a proper

44:29

film.

44:30

Yeah it looks great. It looks like the kind of movie you'd see

44:33

at comms which it was or

44:37

the other one what's it called slam dance no Sun

44:39

Dance. You like how I just

44:41

do that?

44:42

Pretend like I don't know. The

44:45

dancer, dancer, sun dancer in the dark.

44:48

So it's 20 minutes in you're

44:50

annoyed.

44:51

Yeah I'm annoyed because she is just awful. So she

44:54

is a woman who obviously is a narcissist.

44:56

She has a boyfriend who is a

44:59

artist and you can tell that right off the bat

45:01

that she's jealous of his rise

45:03

to success. This is a very smart

45:05

movie. She's not just jealous

45:08

but she is

45:09

suddenly, silently furious

45:12

every time the attention is taken away from her.

45:14

Is there like these lunches and

45:17

you know dinner. She has a celebrated

45:19

like installation artist and he's getting

45:21

like you know all this attention from

45:23

magazines and fundraisers and

45:26

galleries and she becomes again

45:31

quietly furious at the fact

45:33

that he's being recognized

45:36

for his art. Yeah

45:37

and she is jealous of this. She wants

45:39

the attention she wants to focus on her. Anyway

45:43

she'll slight him at any chance she gets like

45:47

he's got an installation that's showing like a

45:49

this is a Norwegian film so we're not familiar with

45:51

these places they're talking about but like

45:53

he's got a showing at some kind of like prestigious

45:56

art gallery and then she has to point out to the table

45:59

but it's not actually at the art gallery, it's downstairs

46:01

and it's smaller. But that's good because unless people

46:04

show up, it'll look like more people. Like that kind, those

46:06

kind of jabs are constantly swimming his way.

46:09

And she's a barista. She works like a

46:11

bakery. And

46:16

she is at the

46:18

bakery and a woman gets bit on the throat

46:21

by a dog, Avery. That is quite

46:23

a turn. The woman comes

46:25

into the bakery calling

46:27

for help, bleeding, gushing blood from the

46:29

jugular. And she goes and like,

46:32

you know, gets blood all over her and she helps

46:34

the wounded woman down to the ground. She kind of does the

46:37

bare minimum, but the woman lives. And

46:39

she gets covered in blood. And while she's

46:41

like with this woman, she just tells someone to call an ambulance.

46:45

And

46:46

immediately, now,

46:47

a lesser film, and if I was writing

46:49

this, I was talking to Chad earlier today

46:52

about this. It would have been really hard for me

46:54

not to lean into that even more and

46:57

have her seeing the news report

46:59

on the radio, on the TV and being

47:01

upset that she wasn't more part of the story or

47:04

reading about it and getting upset that it was all about the woman

47:06

who actually got bit by the dog and not about her. But

47:09

they didn't do that. They just showed it from her left.

47:11

Yeah, they slow-flayed that because that

47:14

does, in a way, happen later in the film.

47:17

You see her at other

47:20

lunch dates and talking to her friends about it. And

47:22

she's really pumping her tires, talking about how

47:24

she was cool in the moment and she's so empathetic,

47:27

so she took care of business. You're right, but they also

47:29

back off the step because we get a taste

47:31

of her psychosis when she

47:35

walks all the way home, which we have the idea is

47:37

not that close in the blood

47:40

covered rags like the

47:42

apron ever.

47:43

That's right. And she loves the attention

47:45

she's getting all the way home. And

47:48

then she said that her boyfriend doesn't know it was right

47:50

away, that she's covered in blood. And

47:53

we've all done this to one extent or another, especially

47:55

when we're little kids and we get cut and we're

47:58

excited to talk about our new wound or our new

47:59

injury, right? Because you get the attention

48:02

a little bit of that. But when you become an adult,

48:04

you don't do that. And we see her every coming

48:06

to her boyfriend into her house where her boyfriend lives and

48:08

he's like on the computer is not paying attention. And

48:10

she's like prepping herself so that he can see

48:13

and you can see her like completely like,

48:15

of right mind normal and you know, not shaking

48:17

at all kind of like getting ready. Like

48:20

in the hall, great shot, see

48:22

him and then we can see her but he can't see her

48:24

yet. And then when he does see her like she

48:26

just

48:27

acts as though she's, you know, all

48:29

traumatized or loving

48:31

the sympathy and the attention she's getting. So

48:35

that's, that's the inciting incident. Yeah,

48:38

it's also a bit of red herring because that

48:40

has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. But it sets

48:42

her off on her journey of like this dopamine

48:45

hit of like, oh, I'm being paid attention

48:47

to.

48:48

Yes.

48:49

And I don't think we're just in a theme with him.

48:52

Yeah, I was gonna say there was some crossover with Nick

48:54

Cage's character in three

48:57

huge, huge. So with this

48:59

one, he's attacking victimhood, which I

49:02

would not have the balls to do. I love that he's

49:04

doing this here. And I think he cast

49:06

it and wrote it very wisely and making

49:08

it like a Karen type character almost

49:11

so that you can be annoyed with

49:13

her. But if you missed

49:15

step while attacking victimhood at all, especially

49:17

today, like you could get So let

49:20

me address that. I agree with you. Let

49:22

me jump ahead. I'm not gonna give away too much

49:24

because

49:26

I'll simply ask you to get allergy

49:28

allergy. I think I think we can leave it at that one.

49:31

The peanut allergy. No, okay.

49:33

Well, we can mention that as well in the film. There's

49:36

that there is a minor character,

49:38

a disabled character who

49:40

has played for laughs at a certain point,

49:43

like two thirds of the way through the film. Her only

49:45

job is to provide comic relief

49:48

at the expense of her disability. Did

49:50

you find that joke? Oh,

49:52

you want to watch this whole thing? No,

49:55

I didn't see it. Okay. So yeah, she is about

49:57

to the joke simply because of her disability.

50:00

I mean, I guess there's some, sorry,

50:02

if I'm gonna be fair, the

50:04

filmmaker is sort of, you know,

50:07

taking the piss out of the, um,

50:09

going out of your way to look so accepting

50:12

and so inclusive, but the actions

50:14

of this character are pure, pure broad

50:16

comedy. I lost a lot

50:19

really hard at that. Anderson, did you,

50:21

did you find it to be victim

50:24

shaming in a way? Like that's not appropriate

50:26

or did you have a good- I think it's borderline. I think it's

50:28

definitely borderline. Well, good. Then

50:30

that's probably the intended reaction. Yeah.

50:33

I

50:33

lost a lot. I was never offended at any

50:35

point. The

50:39

people that would be offended would never be able to see this anyway.

50:42

That's a really good point. Which is in itself.

50:46

But no, I think he was walking a

50:48

fine line here and I love that he did

50:50

this. Also, I

50:52

agree with you, so I'll let you go in a second. That

50:55

what I'm talking about, that was earned because

50:57

it was so much later in the movie and she was

50:59

so far down the road of self-victimhood

51:02

and she ended up right where she was,

51:04

she is the main character. Ended up right where

51:06

she was supposed to be with

51:09

this sort of going out of your way

51:11

to be inclusive where inclusivity

51:13

is not important. In fact,

51:16

that's the antithesis of the job that

51:18

she is talking to this person about. So

51:21

to me, it was brilliant. I thought I was really well done.

51:24

Very, very smart. Less ideas than

51:27

dream scenario. It's hard to talk about one and not the

51:29

other. What's interesting too is Chad Ice just

51:31

happened to a scientist this one not knowing

51:33

the dream scenario was connected. The dream scenario

51:35

was coming out. Yeah. Happy

51:38

actor. He didn't know it was the same

51:40

director? He wasn't aware that dream

51:42

scenario was not yet on his radar

51:44

or it was.

51:47

Happy coincidence. Yeah. Both

51:50

of these movies are getting US releases this year which gives me

51:52

an idea that I might have

51:56

a co-spot for both on

51:58

the vaulties.

51:59

very related. So

52:02

with this one it's attacking victimhood with

52:04

dream scenario it's attacking all sorts

52:06

of things but mainly cancel culture I guess. Yeah.

52:09

Yeah.

52:10

Cancel culture and then just internet celebrity

52:12

as well. And they both yes every nearly nailed

52:15

it they both had that sort of thirst

52:17

for being acknowledged,

52:21

being recognized for whatever.

52:25

For all the wrong reasons. Yeah they all have nothing

52:27

to offer but want the recognition so badly

52:29

and will go to great lengths to get it. Right?

52:32

The tone management was very good just like it wasn't dream

52:34

scenario. You want to talk about the peanut allergy thing?

52:36

Yeah so like

52:42

it she continues to devolve

52:45

or new heights to get any kind of attention

52:47

and

52:49

recognition for

52:51

anything and she's at it once again there's

52:53

so many meals and like you know gatherings and

52:55

I think it's a European thing too but

52:58

she's at this big dinner and it's for like

53:00

her boyfriend. Yeah he's being

53:02

honored in some way.

53:04

Like it's only you whose gallery opening or

53:06

something. It's a very very fancy

53:08

like you know catered and that had

53:11

catered or white. Everyone

53:13

there is a fine artist type or whatever

53:15

financing.

53:17

Right. 15 people at the table and

53:19

they say there any food allergies and then

53:21

she does. No no no we're all good and then she like

53:25

um actually.

53:27

I have a nut allergy and

53:29

they're like okay well is it just you know like a

53:32

eat it or if you're in proximity and some people are

53:34

kind of put off by that and I think a lot of us have have

53:36

dealt with that before right where we're sitting somewhere.

53:39

But the boyfriend's reaction was like

53:41

hey don't we live together you never had nut

53:43

allergy.

53:44

Never had a nut. I've never heard this before and she's like

53:46

no no I do I do. You just hate this woman

53:49

so much and you know exactly what you are.

53:51

And as the audience you know exactly

53:53

what you are. Watch

53:56

the rest of the people who are the characters surrounding

53:58

her. like, all

54:00

right, we'll go to great lengths to keep the nuts

54:02

away from your food. Over

54:06

to a boyfriend's plate and just take the bite.

54:09

Not only that, she, she took the last

54:11

more so that you could tell he was probably saving as like

54:13

the best part. Like he wanted to have that and she doesn't

54:15

ask her anything. She just eats it. Cause that's who she is. And

54:18

the maître d comes running out. It goes that,

54:20

that, that wasn't on your plate. That was on his plate and

54:23

I had nuts in it. What you just ate had nuts in

54:25

it. And it kind of goes on from there.

54:27

Uh, you want to say anything more about that

54:29

scene? No, that's great. And they were just

54:32

setting up great. So

54:34

the poor mid-ergy, the,

54:36

the levels that this goes to,

54:39

and it does, it is labeled as a

54:41

drama. It's not about the main plot. This is

54:43

all just set up. Well,

54:45

I mean, that's what the whole, once again, this is more about

54:47

themes than anything else. I mean, there's not really

54:49

much of a, oh, I disagree.

54:52

Go ahead. Well, okay. So the, the, the,

54:54

the, the inciting incident as it were, was

54:57

you start to get this dopamine rush from

54:59

getting all this attention and she's like,

55:01

this is great. She doesn't say

55:03

that, but you can tell that she's like floating in the air

55:06

and she is browsing the internet and

55:08

she comes across, uh, I mean, now you're

55:10

just talking more about this is the

55:12

main part though.

55:14

I mean, this is the main plot device, I guess

55:16

for the,

55:17

we're, we're talking about the same thing, but in different ways, but

55:20

I didn't want to go through the entire movie and just

55:22

review the entire and give all the

55:24

fucking, I didn't want to. Oh,

55:26

there's a reason that's called sick of myself. I

55:30

mean, she's sick from the peanut out. No.

55:33

I mean, the poster, the you'll see,

55:36

if you're looking at it, she's sitting in a wheelchair with her face

55:38

bandaged and she's smoking a cigarette and

55:40

yeah,

55:41

she, she sacrifices

55:44

everything for attention. Well, we can leave it. Sure. It

55:46

becomes a munchausen by proxy situation.

55:48

That's what I was going to ask him, but she

55:50

is the only, a third party. She

55:53

is the one that's just. Munchausen is

55:56

if it's. Yeah. Yeah. No,

55:58

I've rocked you right.

56:00

It's grotesque. It's really good makeup. Her

56:02

face does not do well throughout this movie

56:05

and I

56:06

Fucking love this movie. I really really love

56:08

this movie. I

56:09

Enjoyed it to you.

56:11

This is one of the best Listener assignments

56:14

we've had and if it's really getting

56:16

released in the US this year, which seems

56:18

weird already has oh, yeah My

56:20

that might my finds where the ball teeth.

56:23

I mean it was a Cleave at the

56:25

Cleveland film festival this

56:28

year So I could find on IMDB

56:30

one and actually got internet release in the US But I mean

56:32

it was it was showing a US festivals this

56:34

year It got a release I guess in the

56:36

Netherlands last year or Norway last I enjoyed

56:39

that dream scenario quite a bit And this

56:41

to me was even better. I

56:43

Don't know if I don't know which one I like more. They're

56:46

both very good. Very subtle.

56:48

They're both they got that that that

56:51

vibe of the What's

56:53

the one where they and they remade it for the States it

56:56

didn't work though where they oh Starts

56:58

with an F. Oh, we're forced majeure that you're

57:01

thinking. Oh, sure. Thank you. Thank you. Yes.

57:03

It's got the same Ethos

57:05

is forced majeure, but this one is a

57:08

lot more going on

57:10

Yeah, of course. I was mature

57:12

had a great Opening and premise

57:14

and then what just kind of evolved into sitting

57:16

around and talking and crying This

57:19

this this movie has momentum

57:22

You could tell force majeure had a great German German

57:24

of an idea But they didn't have great follow-up and

57:26

then Christopher Borgley the the director

57:28

of this one and writer and he did both of them He's

57:31

actually in this one as well

57:33

As the he plays the director

57:36

of the the fashion shoot towards the

57:38

ball cap It's

57:43

a good looking great team

57:44

I enjoyed dreams an

57:47

area I quite I quite enjoyed it Yeah,

57:52

I saw it recently I had a weird and I was texting

57:54

you guys about this I had kind of a weird viewing experience

57:57

where Nicholas Cage is

57:59

a dead ringer for

58:01

one of my best friend's dads since

58:04

childhood. Like just in his mannerisms,

58:06

his beard, the way he acts. So I

58:09

could, I had a very hard time separating the

58:11

two and it was kind of added to the surrealness

58:13

of imagining my friend's dad being

58:16

this individual and sort of added to the weird

58:18

disturbing sort

58:20

of ethereal nature of it. I really liked

58:23

it, I really liked what it was saying. And

58:25

I was also saying it's one

58:27

of the rare times that a filmmaker

58:29

can make scat humor work for me.

58:31

Normally I'm completely out, but his

58:34

interaction with some fans involving scat humor

58:36

I found very honest

58:38

and very amusing. But

58:42

yeah, it was very enjoyable. I really liked where it went. I

58:44

liked the way it devolves and yeah,

58:47

I think the less you know about it, the

58:49

better. There's a lot of that. Yeah,

58:51

a dream scenario. I thought there were a lot of enjoyable

58:54

twists and turns. And I also- Yeah,

58:56

this is a similar structure. Michael

58:59

Cera, I found very enjoyable. His angle

59:01

on it. It was great. Dreamhouse

59:05

is very aviary. Oh God, Dreamhouse

59:07

maybe you wanna just kill myself. Oh,

59:10

well, both of these movies guys, if you like,

59:12

are, sorry,

59:13

derail

59:15

and then not be able to think about. I

59:18

had to watch it. We had no power here last night

59:20

for until around 11 o'clock at night. So

59:23

I ended up watching this very, very

59:25

late at night, last night sick of myself. But yeah,

59:27

if you like our sensibilities for

59:30

dark humor, both of these are worth watching.

59:32

Yeah, like more than America's of the world or

59:34

just the dark kind of fuck down. This

59:36

is a rare movie, you're right, Avery, but this is the rare

59:38

movie that's a dark comedy that enters and

59:40

I kind of line up on, which is

59:43

we both appreciate the dark humor. And

59:47

sick, I should warn you, we should warn you though, that sick

59:49

of myself is grotesque. Like it's hard

59:51

to walk into. Yeah, there's a sickiness. It

59:54

has a little, if you saw raw

59:56

and you liked raw, it has a little bit of that body

59:58

horror in there.

59:59

But not quite right. But

1:00:02

play for laughs, yeah. At one point, Avery,

1:00:05

there's an article

1:00:08

written about our main

1:00:10

character and her

1:00:12

plight. And she is so excited

1:00:15

to read it. She goes to get the newspaper

1:00:17

and the story's been bumped for like a school

1:00:19

shooting. She's so mad. She's

1:00:24

so mad.

1:00:26

This is a great dark comedy.

1:00:28

There's no jokes, which I love. I

1:00:31

love the kind of dark comedy where they don't

1:00:33

have any... Yeah, it's all situation. ...a punchline.

1:00:36

Yeah. I highly recommend

1:00:37

it. Could they remake this for

1:00:40

United States? Could they make it a... If

1:00:42

they did it for Marty, yeah, totally. There's

1:00:45

enough...

1:00:46

Like Amy Schumer would be great in this,

1:00:49

right? A piece of shit, but

1:00:51

she acknowledges you. You

1:00:53

know, they would change it to like something

1:00:55

just shaving your head or something. I don't think they go

1:00:57

for the full Monty. I don't think they go for the full face.

1:01:00

Well, it's kind of what you always say with another round, right? Where

1:01:03

that's not how the US version would have gone.

1:01:05

No, not at all. There would have been rehab.

1:01:08

Yeah, I would like to think they could,

1:01:10

but they'd be screwed up in some way.

1:01:13

All

1:01:13

right, well, thank you very much, Chad, for bringing

1:01:15

this to us. It was a happy accident. Timing

1:01:18

was perfect

1:01:19

with us watching this.

1:01:21

And then we'll have a dream scenario.

1:01:24

And Brian's situation wears the

1:01:26

reverse for myself, but sick

1:01:28

of myself. Sick of myself.

1:01:32

1:03:14

There we're back. Time to count

1:03:16

down the top five gifts for

1:03:19

the film lover in your life. Maybe that's you

1:03:21

and you wanna leave this list lying

1:03:23

around somewhere, or maybe it's for another

1:03:25

film lover in your life. Either way, we'll

1:03:28

do a little round table and hit

1:03:30

a few gifts that we thought were interesting. Maybe

1:03:33

we'd like to have ourselves. Who wants to start?

1:03:38

Who wants to start? I'll start

1:03:40

just because somebody asked it, right? All

1:03:42

right, so how do you feel about

1:03:45

your,

1:03:46

this year's batch?

1:03:49

Not good. Not good? What?

1:03:52

I can't tell if you're good. No, actually, you know what? I

1:03:54

mean to ask you, I realized that as I

1:03:57

was looking back on years past, I

1:03:59

was in a. hospital very sick for

1:04:01

last year's Black Friday episode.

1:04:04

Did you and Avery ever read

1:04:06

my list or did that just disappear?

1:04:09

I'm a fucking, what a weird question. I

1:04:12

didn't repeat anything, but I was thinking about

1:04:14

it, but I was like, Oh, that could not love you.

1:04:16

You want to hear

1:04:17

that it was represented. I'm sure that we read your list.

1:04:19

If you gave us your list, I can't remember that at all, Brian,

1:04:22

but all right. Let's just kick it off. I feel good

1:04:24

about my list this year. I would like all

1:04:26

of these things. I'm not asking you guys to

1:04:28

get them for me, but if my wife is listening to any

1:04:30

of these would be good. However, just don't listen to this

1:04:32

part, honey, because it's a little bit conniving. All right. So

1:04:34

my number five, this is the only one that's, I

1:04:37

guess a little bit creative and for the

1:04:39

wrong reasons, but let's say you're, you're a relationship

1:04:42

guys or girls and you love

1:04:44

movies and your partner does

1:04:46

not like movies or they tell you that they like to

1:04:48

watch TV more than movies, which there's a lot of people

1:04:50

out there like that, or they only like to watch documentaries,

1:04:53

right? And you want them to have

1:04:55

a movie night with you. Well,

1:04:57

you can get them for Christmas.

1:04:59

So if you're listening, you can get them for the holidays.

1:05:03

The key,

1:05:04

right. I'm going to fucking names

1:05:06

these, these days, but it's, it's, it's K

1:05:09

E R a O O and

1:05:11

it's a personalized blanket. All

1:05:13

right. For girls, it's only

1:05:15

for girls. And it's called,

1:05:18

this is my movie watching blanket. And

1:05:20

you have a little picture of a, of a, of a woman

1:05:22

on there and you can change the skin

1:05:25

tone to make them look more like your

1:05:27

lady.

1:05:28

And you can even put their name on it. You

1:05:30

can personalize it. They cost 20 bucks on, on

1:05:32

Amazon. And you can be like, here you go. That's

1:05:34

nice. For watching movies for

1:05:37

our movie night that we're going to do, hopefully. Cause I would

1:05:39

like to do, oh, and then you rope her in. It's

1:05:43

got a little caricature of what I

1:05:45

zoom. Uh, you can personalize,

1:05:47

like you said, to be a close to your partner.

1:05:50

Right. Oh, that's called

1:05:52

GILTR. GILTR into watching.

1:05:55

Yeah. Like why are you watching? Why are you using your movie

1:05:57

night blanket for watching TV? That's,

1:05:59

that's not.

1:05:59

what I got it for you for. That's apparently

1:06:02

they're very comfy. No, that one could be Jillian. Yeah,

1:06:06

that could be, yeah, absolutely look like Jillian if

1:06:08

I were to uh, I don't even

1:06:09

have to change it that much, just change her hair color. All

1:06:12

right, so that's my uh, one thing

1:06:14

I can't say. Oh,

1:06:16

yeah, the girl holding thing looks a little like Jillian. All right,

1:06:20

links to all these as well if you want to go back,

1:06:22

cheat sheet.

1:06:24

Yeah, they will be available in the show notes. You

1:06:26

want me to go in the middle and you close out Brian.

1:06:29

No, every year you know what their special guest

1:06:31

you go last. I will uh, do my

1:06:33

number five, which is hold on

1:06:36

do I have right here? Yeah, so this is

1:06:38

the only line in my list that is

1:06:40

uh, pre-Christmas.

1:06:42

So if you want to get now, it'd be appropriate.

1:06:45

It's a nine dollar Black Friday

1:06:47

deal uh, marked down if you

1:06:49

want to get there's a few of these are linked to one, but

1:06:52

if you want to shop around you can do that. Uh,

1:06:54

the die hard advent calendar.

1:06:57

This is uh, very fun. Whereas a

1:06:59

a

1:06:59

cardboard cutout of knockers down in the

1:07:01

plaza and Hans the Gruber is

1:07:04

pictured falling and every

1:07:06

day he falls, you knock it down. Every

1:07:09

day it passes, you drop

1:07:11

him down one story until he reaches

1:07:14

his ultimate destination. That is good. Now, one of

1:07:16

them he's all colored in,

1:07:18

the

1:07:21

other one he's not.

1:07:22

Yeah, there's a few variety

1:07:25

out there. I linked to what I thought was no,

1:07:27

I linked to the uh, best price. They

1:07:31

are the $9.99 Black

1:07:33

Friday deal, but there are others out there.

1:07:36

And then did they miss

1:07:39

an opportunity where at when he gets to the

1:07:41

bottom you could flip him around and he's like all

1:07:43

crumbled and broke. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I don't

1:07:45

know. I don't know if it's, if

1:07:47

it's, if it's just going.

1:07:52

Yeah, mommy, he's dead and crumbled. He's happy

1:07:56

birthday, Jesus. Do we

1:07:58

watch mid school marks tonight?

1:07:59

to

1:08:00

see another version of this. You're

1:08:04

a good man. All

1:08:06

right.

1:08:06

Ten bucks on Amazon.

1:08:09

Avery, what's your number five? So my number

1:08:11

five, the way I did it was least expensive

1:08:13

to most expensive. Mine are generally not

1:08:15

that expensive. Oh, Avery, can you send a list? I'm

1:08:17

sorry, isn't it? I'm not sending a list. I

1:08:20

sent my list. You

1:08:22

should be able to find it. It's number

1:08:24

one on my list in years past. And

1:08:26

number five. So,

1:08:29

yeah, for me, it felt fitting

1:08:31

as a man who's currently unemployed to go with

1:08:33

maybe more affordable gifts. If

1:08:36

you're not flush with cash, here's some options. Still

1:08:38

a movie lover. First one is great stocking

1:08:41

stuffer. These are VHS-inspired

1:08:43

mini magnets for your fridge.

1:08:46

I believe all the ones that I found are horror-themed.

1:08:49

And whoever did it did a really great job. They're

1:08:51

probably about the size of, I don't know, maybe a postage

1:08:53

stamp. Probably a little bigger than that. Maybe the size of your thumb.

1:08:56

But they did a really great job of making these

1:08:58

three-dimensional tiny VHSs

1:09:00

that feel worn and gives you that

1:09:02

very retro vibe. A lot of great

1:09:05

selections like Jaws, Scream, The

1:09:07

Thing, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So, very

1:09:10

fun to bundle these together, especially for the horror

1:09:12

movie lover in your life. I know somebody like Florence

1:09:14

would love this. So, yeah, they're like five

1:09:16

bucks a pop. So, something great to buy a couple of those,

1:09:18

throw them in a stocking.

1:09:20

A lot of the ones that I did stumble across, a lot

1:09:22

of the gifts are horror-themed. And

1:09:25

I think we've recognized that in years past, too, that horror

1:09:27

gets a whole lot of gift-giving

1:09:29

vibes and love. And they're

1:09:32

more readily available than other genres.

1:09:35

Yeah, very conducive to that sort

1:09:37

of thing because it's all, you know, in line. Nice.

1:09:40

I have one towards the top of my list that

1:09:42

is very horror-themed. And

1:09:45

I'm not much of a horror guy, but I just love...we'll get

1:09:48

there when I get to number two. So, number four... Okay,

1:09:51

very quick. I do not appear to have your list.

1:09:54

Can you send it to me, please?

1:09:55

What? No, in this thread,

1:09:57

I can see you on it.

1:09:59

It should be in the...

1:09:59

show notes. I'll send it directly to Brian,

1:10:02

Brian, so he feels special.

1:10:06

I don't see in the show notes.

1:10:08

I don't see it. Maybe it's just

1:10:10

to me. You might've done that. Cause I sent my list just to you originally

1:10:13

as possible.

1:10:16

Number, I see Brian's number one now. This

1:10:18

is a problem. Number one

1:10:20

at all.

1:10:21

At all. Okay.

1:10:24

Go back to my, my

1:10:26

list. Number four

1:10:27

for me, uh, you got to get this one through the

1:10:29

academy museum store, which I've never

1:10:31

perused before this year. Um,

1:10:34

but this is, I have one of these,

1:10:36

not exactly like this, but they,

1:10:39

this is a modernist

1:10:40

prax in a scope,

1:10:43

um, zoetrope essentially.

1:10:45

That's what I've always called them. That's what I learned that they were called

1:10:47

in school.

1:10:50

It's slightly different.

1:10:54

But it's really cool. And it's, it's before

1:10:56

they had the 24 frames a second, before they had

1:10:58

cinema, they would show these and have

1:11:01

these, and you could actually

1:11:03

see little cartoons moving about.

1:11:05

And, uh, this one is, is

1:11:07

very nicely, uh, designed and it would look good. Just

1:11:10

sitting on a desk. If you have room

1:11:12

on your desk or on a shelf, and then if

1:11:15

you would like to make it move, uh, the

1:11:17

example that they have on there is the horse, uh, going

1:11:19

in circles, but there's different

1:11:21

inlays that you can put in there. And it's, it's a nice

1:11:24

artistic piece. Uh, $93.

1:11:26

Um, if you're a museum member, which

1:11:28

I believe Brian is, he's used to brag about that. It's

1:11:31

been a while.

1:11:32

Just at the time of the holidays,

1:11:35

damn it.

1:11:36

You can't get it for the price of $83.

1:11:40

Uh, check out the modernist

1:11:42

prax in a scope, uh, which, uh,

1:11:45

is, is very nice. Very nice indeed.

1:11:48

If I am, you know, if I had room in my house, which I do

1:11:50

not, or room on my desk, which I do not, uh,

1:11:53

I would be very happy to get something like this. Like if

1:11:55

I had an office or something like that, it's, it's

1:11:57

a classy, um, yes.

1:12:00

movie gift.

1:12:02

Good stuff.

1:12:05

Prax telescope animation spinner. That's

1:12:07

a very cool piece. It looks like a lamp I

1:12:10

mean from a distance you know I mean you got up

1:12:12

close you're like oh this is a real

1:12:14

thing I can use and look at and play with.

1:12:17

It's a conversation piece Brian. Oh yeah,

1:12:19

what is that? Well I'll show you what that is.

1:12:21

I bet you wonder what that is. Step right up. What

1:12:25

is your dad? What do you think that is?

1:12:28

Yes. And I'd say well

1:12:30

it's a that right there dad is a

1:12:32

Prax telescope animation spinner. Never

1:12:38

once did he say that's right. I don't think I ever heard

1:12:40

once. That's right. That's right Andy. You

1:12:43

should try being right.

1:12:45

Number four for me. Dr.

1:12:46

Squatch is

1:12:49

a company that makes high-end

1:12:51

soap premium soaps. All

1:12:54

sorts of varietals and smells

1:12:57

and scents and whatnot made from natural

1:12:59

oils no harsh chemicals etc.

1:13:01

etc. sustainably sourced and

1:13:04

they also have dipped their toe into

1:13:06

the collectible lines

1:13:09

of soap. They have a Harry Potter

1:13:11

collection of soap. They have a Star

1:13:13

Wars collection of soaps and

1:13:15

they have a Avengers collection

1:13:18

of soap. So if you're a nerd

1:13:20

of one of those varieties you can

1:13:22

help yourself to a four-pack

1:13:25

elegantly boxed I should point out because they're

1:13:28

definitely a showy

1:13:30

piece and

1:13:31

it's not terribly expensive. It's 47

1:13:33

bucks.

1:13:33

You'd think it'd be it. Ten bucks. Yeah

1:13:36

but it's like you know high-end fucking soap.

1:13:39

It is very good. I've had Dr. Squatch in the past.

1:13:41

I used to I would always have like

1:13:43

their black soap. I forget what flavor

1:13:45

that is but my brother turned me onto

1:13:48

it a while ago and it's really good soap. It's like special

1:13:50

occasion. So like if I'm feeling like I really

1:13:52

want to treat myself I'll spend 40 bucks on a four

1:13:54

bar soap and then make them last. This is

1:13:56

also

1:13:58

kind of genius because it's getting these nerds to actually

1:13:59

take shower. That's

1:14:02

a really good point. So if you want to get the Star

1:14:04

Wars bundle you're gonna get

1:14:08

a bar of Wisdom Wash which is Yoda

1:14:10

themed. You're gonna get a bar of Only

1:14:13

Hope soap and that is strangely

1:14:15

enough Obi-Wan Kenobi ways are

1:14:17

only hopes. Dark Side Scrub

1:14:20

which is Darth Vader themed and

1:14:23

Ruthless Rinse which is Darth

1:14:26

Maul themed. I see Darth Maul getting a little bit representation.

1:14:30

You like Darth Maul getting a little bit of a lot

1:14:32

of right? I like Darth Maul.

1:14:35

I am back can you hear me?

1:14:38

I did okay. You find out that the the soap

1:14:45

thing though is it still recording? It's been recorded

1:14:47

the whole time for you guys I believe it records it

1:14:49

locally for you guys as well right? Yeah I'm

1:14:51

still recording. All

1:14:53

right we can also if you want really quick I just

1:14:55

dropped off at the beginning of Brian's whatever the last

1:14:57

one he just did if you just wanted to reset that real quick

1:14:59

just in case. Y'all finished it up. The

1:15:01

Star Wars bundle it's

1:15:04

only 38 bucks so

1:15:06

the price varies and bless you to subscribe

1:15:08

and save you get an extra 15% off

1:15:10

dropping it all the way down to 32. All right

1:15:14

Brian thanks for that map.

1:15:16

Math thank you. What was the flavor

1:15:21

that I would get? Not flavor what's the scent? It

1:15:24

was what they were knowing. Oh and the Avengers wanted

1:15:26

the Black Friday deal about that. All

1:15:28

right enjoy enjoy yourself.

1:15:31

Pine

1:15:34

tar pine tar is what I get. That was like

1:15:36

their signature good stuff.

1:15:38

All right Avery. All

1:15:41

right so mine my number

1:15:43

four that I've got going on and I'm way

1:15:46

too loud there we go.

1:15:47

Tone it down. My number four is

1:15:50

a little fun one this is my another one

1:15:52

you could do is a little stocking stuffer it is a

1:15:55

shining pizza cutter. Here's

1:15:58

Johnny so it's a little action. shape pizza cutter.

1:16:00

It's got a here's Johnny and Jack Nicholson

1:16:03

on one side and the shining

1:16:06

burned onto the other side. And

1:16:08

you know, if you're a pizza lover and a film lover, this

1:16:11

is this is perfect for you. But it's good. It's

1:16:13

shaped like a little hatchet. Shaped

1:16:16

like a hatchet. Yes. Only $20, 67 cents on

1:16:18

Etsy. And it's fun. That

1:16:21

is good. I

1:16:24

don't know how you were able to clean. That's my concern.

1:16:26

Hard to say, but certainly fun to

1:16:29

use.

1:16:29

The circular blade goes up inside

1:16:31

of the... Yeah. It has the L.A. up, pipe

1:16:34

cleaner, straw cleaner, and it get in there. Yeah.

1:16:37

Or hey, you could even be just for show. Just

1:16:39

hang it up in your kitchen.

1:16:41

Yeah, just for spending.

1:16:44

All right. It would look

1:16:46

all bloody though. That's kind of cool. That

1:16:49

is true.

1:16:50

All

1:16:52

right. Moving along here.

1:16:54

Number three

1:16:56

for me. Now, Brian,

1:16:58

I use, you know, my favorite...

1:17:00

We almost always have to have a coffee mug on

1:17:02

our list. It's true. You're in your house. We must always

1:17:04

have a coffee mug. This one comes

1:17:06

from Perpetual Kid. My favorite

1:17:09

coffee mug that I use in studio in your kitchen

1:17:12

week in, week out is the one with all your movie quotes

1:17:14

on it. This one is called

1:17:17

the Ultimate Movie Buff mug, and

1:17:19

it has little pictures, 50

1:17:22

of them in total,

1:17:23

of key images

1:17:26

from big movies, but it

1:17:28

doesn't have the title of them. Yeah.

1:17:31

Looking at it, I can tell you what most of them are, but

1:17:33

a couple of them, I'm like, what the fuck is that supposed to be?

1:17:35

Then the bottom of the mug, don't look until

1:17:37

you're done with your drink, but on the bottom of the

1:17:40

mug in spiral formation, they have all an

1:17:42

answer key. Yeah. Some are obvious and some,

1:17:44

like you said, are like, what is that? Yeah.

1:17:47

What, what is that? Oh, there's the axe. Look

1:17:49

at them.

1:17:51

They got a speak and spell. They got Illinois

1:17:53

license plate that just says nervous.

1:17:56

They have a bowling pin. They have a ring.

1:17:59

They have a severed.

1:17:59

ear.

1:18:00

They have a baby

1:18:03

xenomorph covered in blood, which I can only imagine

1:18:05

is probably Jaws. Yeah. They have

1:18:07

a dork fin, which is probably alien.

1:18:10

It's a good bit. And then they have an

1:18:12

idol,

1:18:13

which is probably

1:18:16

Star Wars. They have the no shake, which has

1:18:18

a $5 price tag. You know

1:18:22

what that is? I was in a Jaws, and you

1:18:24

already spoiled that one.

1:18:26

Wait, do you know what number 40 is? Detroit

1:18:28

police. Oh, yeah.

1:18:30

Do you know, you know,

1:18:32

it's a little, a little dystopian future,

1:18:34

a little dystopian future.

1:18:36

Oh, is that Robocop?

1:18:39

Robocop had 209 nemesis.

1:18:42

All right.

1:18:43

So yes, I love this mug perpetual

1:18:45

kid. I have a link to it. There is not an Amazon,

1:18:48

but it's 1499. And

1:18:51

I don't know what the shipping cost is, but this

1:18:53

is a great, this is a great, there's a box

1:18:56

of chocolates.

1:18:57

That would be a light say, right? It's a bit of a

1:18:59

ditty giveaway. Gentle olive

1:19:02

oil. I want one of these. A

1:19:04

lot of time we get lucky too. And somebody like here

1:19:06

the show and they're like, Hey, that's my product. Listen,

1:19:09

1:19:12

1:19:16

well as the, uh,

1:19:18

the canvas art

1:19:19

with, uh, and I got you one too. That

1:19:21

was last year. We had it on our list

1:19:23

1:19:26

1:19:29

Good stuff.

1:19:31

1:19:36

Anything 25 at Jurassic park?

1:19:51

1:19:59

this. that's

1:20:00

always passion of Christ

1:20:03

is it it

1:20:06

1:21:36

because I'm on the picture and I'm scrolling over to train see

1:21:38

what it's a movie that you need to be right but you

1:21:40

also want to do good pod and it direct

1:21:43

opposition okay 25

1:21:44

is a

1:21:46

glass of milk Anderson okay

1:21:50

that's clock of course let's let's go no I do

1:21:52

see one more of the redone 23 23 is diehard good

1:21:58

I feel good about that

1:22:00

Alright, let's move on. What is the... You're

1:22:03

right though. What is the backpack? It

1:22:06

could be a stand by me.

1:22:08

What is the one right above it? The origami. Oh,

1:22:11

the new blade runner. Oh,

1:22:14

the new blade runner. No, it's the old blade runner. It's

1:22:17

the fucking origami. Come on. Was

1:22:20

it great? You are great, brother. I don't remember it looking

1:22:23

like that.

1:22:25

Okay, let's go. What's 24? That guy is a

1:22:27

wucker. What

1:22:28

is 24 though? Look at it. Okay, let's

1:22:30

move on. We're running out of time. I

1:22:32

just saw that movie recently. So some of them are harder than others. Which

1:22:35

one is 24? Goonies. Alright,

1:22:37

let's go. It's not good. He sucks. Wow,

1:22:40

God, Brian. It's like reflexive. It's

1:22:42

a reflexive reaction. Alright, do it. I'm moving the middle.

1:22:45

Okay, let's move on. Okay, let's move on. We're

1:22:47

running out of time.

1:22:48

I just saw that movie recently.

1:22:50

Wow, God, Brian. It's like

1:22:52

reflexive. It's a reflexive reaction. Alright,

1:22:54

move it. Move it on. I want to look at that mug

1:22:56

again. There were three for me. Everyone likes books.

1:22:58

We got to get books for the holidays.

1:23:01

So here's a couple of good ones. One

1:23:07

is the art of the Spider-Verse. And

1:23:10

this is a fully illustrated behind

1:23:12

the scenes like how they

1:23:14

made Spider-Verse, all the

1:23:16

characters, all the everything. It's

1:23:20

very comprehensive.

1:23:23

Great,

1:23:24

Brian. Thank you. And

1:23:27

for both of our

1:23:29

quick session today and recently, the

1:23:32

unofficial Studio

1:23:34

Ghibli cookbook is available.

1:23:37

This is how to cook those bizarre creatures. Now

1:23:40

it's not. Worms. What?

1:23:43

Worms.

1:23:44

Yeah, it's all about worms. It's inspired.

1:23:47

So it's not going to be obviously

1:23:49

the grotesque, fantastical

1:23:51

creatures you see, but it is a lot of

1:23:53

fun and it is inspired by

1:23:55

the creatures and the whirls

1:23:57

that you see in the Studio Ghibli. Ghibli

1:24:00

movies. So I enjoyed that. And that

1:24:03

is just $14 on Amazon.

1:24:06

This just in, it is pronounced Ghibli. I

1:24:09

knew it. All right. Go

1:24:12

ahead Avery. And then we've got to take a quick breaker. My

1:24:15

number three is

1:24:18

pretty

1:24:20

good. It's $19 in 86 cents. It

1:24:24

is a great, another great thing that you can

1:24:26

put onto your desk at the office.

1:24:28

It's very fun. It is the music box

1:24:31

that plays the theme from Jurassic Park.

1:24:34

It's a wood carved and a boss,

1:24:36

all that good stuff. And it's a

1:24:38

place, a little, the little theme that you

1:24:40

hear in the movie because I believe there's a music box in

1:24:43

the movie that they play. It's very peaceful,

1:24:45

very soothing. And a little, little fun thing

1:24:47

to brighten your day at the office. John

1:24:50

Williams.

1:24:53

The, the song is obviously becomes synonymous

1:24:55

with the entire franchise. And I think

1:24:57

we've all grown to love it. But I remember, I do remember

1:25:00

in 95 watching Jurassic Park thinking like this

1:25:02

theme is kind of schmaltzy and kind of,

1:25:05

it would, it would probably fit Titanic better than

1:25:07

a dinosaur movie. And I feel like it

1:25:10

is a lost opportunity to do a new

1:25:12

type of, of jaws, like motif.

1:25:16

It's so good.

1:25:17

It is. It's good in the, in

1:25:19

the like planet earth, like, you know, majestic.

1:25:22

But I think that's, that was his whole point.

1:25:24

But I, we were, we also

1:25:26

need like a menacing jaw. Like he

1:25:28

could have done jaws, right? He could have made

1:25:31

a new jaws for the, the dinosaur. There's no

1:25:33

motif for like a dinosaur attack.

1:25:36

Well there is for sharks. So why? Maybe

1:25:38

you thought it was played out already been done.

1:25:41

Yeah. What if he did the jaws in reverse?

1:25:45

All right. Sorry. Sorry for that. It never

1:25:47

occurred to me.

1:25:48

I like the box. How big

1:25:50

is it though? How big? That is,

1:25:53

it looks relatively small. Yeah. It doesn't

1:25:55

seem like it's crazy big. It's probably, I don't

1:25:57

know, maybe the size of a,

1:25:59

as well.

1:25:59

Why is your iPhone probably a little smaller than that?

1:26:02

So probably like a little bit bigger than a Rubik's Cube

1:26:06

Doesn't help that they put it next to plants that could be

1:26:08

any There's literally and

1:26:10

a plastic t-rex. There's nothing for scale.

1:26:13

Come on. Come on. I see time for scale

1:26:17

Number no, no no next

1:26:20

1:33:03

We're back. Time to finish

1:33:05

off our list. Anderson, you're up. What's

1:33:07

number two?

1:33:09

I'm going to take this opportunity to do something

1:33:11

which I probably shouldn't do. And if I was a more professional

1:33:13

broadcaster, I would not do this. But

1:33:16

I want to bring it back to the

1:33:18

first half of the episode, which was

1:33:20

the Flick Fashions. And talking so

1:33:22

much about our love of both Sick of Myself

1:33:24

as well as Dream Scenario. It reminds

1:33:27

me, this filmmaking reminds me of another

1:33:29

filmmaker we liked quite a bit from

1:33:31

Poland. This filmmaker is Jan Komasa.

1:33:34

And he did a couple movies that we caught up with

1:33:36

a few years ago. Corpus Christi, if

1:33:39

you recall, Brian. And

1:33:41

The Hater. Both of those movies were fantastic.

1:33:43

I love them. He has not come out with a new one since.

1:33:46

And it makes me sad. So I just wanted to throw that out

1:33:48

there. Jan Komasa is

1:33:50

a, I think he's got one in the works. It's

1:33:53

a similar tone, similar vibe

1:33:55

to both Sick of Myself

1:33:58

as well as Dream Scenario. So if you've already.

1:33:59

both of those and you like them and you're hearing

1:34:02

these words but you have not seen the hater or Corpus

1:34:04

Christi, check those out. I've been meaning

1:34:06

to look up Yann Kommashe

1:34:09

to see what he's got on the horizon because he's

1:34:11

great. What is your fault for it? Thank

1:34:16

you. I'm just trying to make this a service, Brian. I'm trying to

1:34:18

make this a service. Number, what is it? Two

1:34:20

for me.

1:34:21

Oh yeah, here we go. I was speaking

1:34:23

earlier about horror not being really

1:34:25

my number one favorite thing but when

1:34:27

it comes to clever creative fun things like this,

1:34:29

I absolutely love it. Now, Brian, I think you have something similar

1:34:32

to this in your house but it's Simpsons related. No, it's Star

1:34:34

Wars.

1:34:35

Star Wars related. For you on a tangent, let

1:34:38

me finish this one off

1:34:39

with my number two. It's on Amazon. It's $28.99 plus $5.99

1:34:41

for delivery. How

1:34:44

dare you Amazon. But

1:34:47

I think it's an Etsy. I think this

1:34:49

is created by one house but

1:34:52

it's in this house, we horror gift

1:34:54

frame and it's a shadow box

1:34:56

with all of the big

1:34:59

horror characters

1:35:02

that you would imagine from Freddy to Hannibal

1:35:06

Lecter. Yeah, for Palpatine

1:35:08

is on there. I believe. Are

1:35:10

they? Yeah, right?

1:35:13

They're always little leggos. That's Palpatine. They're

1:35:15

always little leggos. The only

1:35:17

one I don't know is the bottom left hand corner clown

1:35:19

around. So it says in this house, we and

1:35:22

it's a dream big and it's got Freddy Krueger,

1:35:24

our representation. The next one is

1:35:26

Love Friday and it's got, you guessed

1:35:28

it.

1:35:32

And then watch scary movies

1:35:35

and you got Palpatine over there. Always show up. I

1:35:37

love this one, Beetlejuice. You got the, what's

1:35:40

it say, Stay Up Late?

1:35:42

Yeah. And like to dance for Pennywise.

1:35:46

Eat good food. So these are all, these

1:35:48

are all

1:35:50

fun and I can imagine it looking

1:35:52

cute. Maybe even in your, your

1:35:54

actual house. I don't know,

1:35:55

but they have different frame sizes and

1:35:57

color, not sizes, but colors. you

1:36:00

can choose from and yeah. Yeah, no,

1:36:02

no, the clown, is that Killer Clowns?

1:36:05

I don't know, maybe.

1:36:07

They're very fun.

1:36:11

I don't remember an American themed Killer Clown, do you? No,

1:36:15

but I wasn't very attached to their

1:36:17

outfits.

1:36:18

Hmm,

1:36:20

I don't know, I don't know who that is. You know

1:36:22

what though,

1:36:23

and maybe this will happen in the next year or two, but

1:36:25

I feel like there's a big one missing here, and I don't know

1:36:27

if Lego is ever gonna make art the clown, but they

1:36:30

should, from Terrafors, because he is

1:36:33

on the scene, he's not going anywhere, and he is one

1:36:35

of the main horror characters,

1:36:37

I think, that will be part of the

1:36:39

landscape moving forward. Number

1:36:42

two for me, number two for me. Low

1:36:45

back. What's that? You

1:36:47

agreed.

1:36:47

You agreed, did the real effect. I've not seen the film, sorry, I

1:36:49

can't tell you.

1:36:50

Oh, that's right, we gotta get back to assigning. Oh

1:36:53

boy, number two for me is a lot

1:36:55

of fun. It's a very simple item.

1:36:58

Well, no, that means simple, but it's also

1:37:00

elaborate, if that makes sense. It is a VHS

1:37:04

lamp, that probably doesn't make a lot

1:37:06

of sense. So this is a

1:37:09

VHS tape that has been adorned

1:37:11

with different themes, dressing park,

1:37:14

jaws, et cetera, et cetera, and

1:37:16

the inside of it, where the tape is, or

1:37:18

was, glow, so it's like a light.

1:37:21

So this would be like a really cool night light, or

1:37:23

it'd be really cool to put inside of a

1:37:25

shelf, you know what I mean, where you have DVDs,

1:37:28

or toys, or some sort of collectibles,

1:37:31

because it illuminates and it glows, and

1:37:34

it's well controlled, so this would look very

1:37:36

cool, lighting up a, like

1:37:38

I said, a cabinet, or a drawer, or something like that,

1:37:41

of course, ones you could see out of. And

1:37:43

it's only $27.98, now it is not messy, so

1:37:47

it is made by a person, as

1:37:49

opposed to a big company, and there are a few

1:37:51

of them, there's only like one or two

1:37:53

left of each, so if this tickles your

1:37:56

fancy, take your $27.98, over

1:37:59

to ads. in a hurry because I remember it was like two

1:38:01

of the roads to the park and three of the jobs,

1:38:04

but they're there and they're very cool. So check

1:38:06

those out. There's only one of the things by

1:38:08

the time you hear this, there might be none of the things.

1:38:12

I think they do that to get you to buy

1:38:14

it too. Like, oh, I better buy it now. There's only one

1:38:16

left. Going out of business, furniture signs. Yeah, I think they do. They

1:38:19

don't answer. Yeah, there's

1:38:21

place by me that's been going in a business for 15 years.

1:38:25

Yeah, there was one when I used to live in the Valley

1:38:27

that was going out of business the entire time I lived there. It

1:38:29

was like 25 years.

1:38:31

Do you have no shame? No, I'm certainly

1:38:34

not. It was on the freeway. So like thousands

1:38:36

of people side every day on their way to and from

1:38:38

work.

1:38:39

All right. Every number two. My

1:38:42

number two for me,

1:38:44

inspired and appropriate with Andy

1:38:46

smoking a lung dart. There's

1:38:48

people out there still still smoking, still still

1:38:51

hitting the cough and nails. And this

1:38:53

gift that I found makes me want to start

1:38:56

smoking. It is. It

1:38:59

is good. It is a

1:39:01

handmade custom engraved

1:39:04

Mad Max Zippo lighter.

1:39:07

It's a little pricey on the pricier side, 35.93, but it is fucking

1:39:10

sweet.

1:39:14

That is distressed. It's

1:39:16

got a what a lovely day on one side

1:39:18

and the the sort of a Morton

1:39:21

Joe skull steering wheel, flaming

1:39:23

steering wheel on the other end. It's

1:39:26

distressed in a great way. It looks almost like a movie prop.

1:39:29

I really enjoyed this thing. This would

1:39:31

even be good. Hey, just a light candles. This would

1:39:33

I know this would bring joy to me just just

1:39:36

just to crack that bad boy open. But it is the

1:39:39

Mad Max lighter.

1:39:41

Yeah, are you getting this?

1:39:45

I see it. Yeah, I misread it. It looks

1:39:47

like what a lonely day, which is lovely.

1:39:50

But of course, it's what a lovely day. Of

1:39:52

course, it's pretty good. I'm not getting

1:39:54

this. I don't smoke. But if you do. Often.

1:39:57

Yes, if I did, I had a friend who.

1:40:00

light the

1:40:00

zippos on his head and make himself bleed all the

1:40:02

time. He had problems. I

1:40:08

want to be shocked. Is this friend podcast about

1:40:10

movies?

1:40:11

He does not. Can you imagine

1:40:14

Brian lighting

1:40:16

a zippo lighter off? YOLO.

1:40:18

Number one for me is a

1:40:21

book and I kept going back and forth and the

1:40:23

more I thought about this one, the more I'm like, you know

1:40:25

what? This one is goddamn sweet. Now it's a little

1:40:27

pricey if you get the hardcover.

1:40:29

It's $91.99 on the old Amazon over there, but

1:40:33

they got the paper book for $19.32 and this title of this book

1:40:35

is Film in Five Seconds. Over 150 great

1:40:41

movie moments in moments. And

1:40:44

what it is is remember those lucky log, I think it was Lucky

1:40:46

Logger and you'd crack the beer open

1:40:48

and on the bottle cap it would

1:40:50

have a couple images. And you try it. Yeah,

1:40:54

pictogram. This book is filled with 150 pictograms

1:40:57

of different movies. And

1:40:59

that's cool unto itself, right? Where you're trying

1:41:02

to figure out just from the, there's

1:41:04

like a series of possibly, I

1:41:06
