Our guests are writers, directors, musicians, comedians, actors.

0:48

Hell, we even have other podcasters on. We

0:50

play no favorites and they don't talk so

0:53

much about their own work, but about

0:55

the movies that have influenced them and made them who they are. We

0:57

call out the movies that made me. We've talked with people like

1:00

Guillermo del Toro, little Stevie Van Zant, Martin Short, Ethan Hawke, William

1:02

Friedkin, Barbara Cranton, Jonathan Ross, Dennis Lehane, Mark DePlasse, Adam McKay, Lorraine

1:04

1:30

everyone to the film vault. It's Anderson.

1:32

I'm Brian Bishop, your hosts for today.

1:35

Very special top five, top five movies.

1:37

Our kids love starring special guests. Please

1:39

put that in the intro, by the

1:41

way. Atticus and Tessa Bishop. Nope.

1:45

It sounds like they're married. It does her name.

1:47

Yeah. Atticus Cameron and Tessa

1:49

Bishop will be our guests to discuss movies. They love.

1:51

They love. They love. They

1:54

love. They love. They love. They

1:57

love. They love. They

1:59

love. We had them on a year ago. A

2:01

year and a half. Yeah, whatever it was. But,

2:04

you know, taste changed. It changed rapidly.

2:06

So the movies they love now will

2:08

very likely be different than the movies

2:11

they love then. But

2:13

first, we have a roster of films

2:15

to flex. Sadly, I

2:18

don't know how, the first time in Civil War history,

2:20

my notes have disappeared. They are nowhere

2:22

to be found. I

2:25

do a Gmail draft every week and

2:27

lo and behold, they are gone. So

2:29

I have no notes. Anderson will be

2:32

introing our movies. Not true. And they

2:34

should go perfectly. It was

2:36

very easy. You want to tell everyone what

2:38

happened? I just told

2:40

them I lost my notes. I don't know

2:42

what happened. No, beyond that. Like what happened?

2:44

I'm less upset about losing, you know,

2:48

the notes than having to do all this work again.

2:51

It's like on the rare occasion we've

2:53

lost the episode and it's like fuck, I don't know. What work

2:55

do you have to do again? I'm

2:57

going to research all these movies and write

2:59

down my notes. You have to do that again? I'd

3:02

like to. Wait a minute, hold on. Are you

3:04

that crazy? I didn't know this. This is new.

3:07

I think I know you. Why is it

3:09

crazy? It's going on 25 years almost. And

3:12

I'm learning that you're so crazy that we're going to do

3:14

the episode right now and it's going to bother you that

3:16

your notes don't exist. So you're going to go back and

3:18

do the notes again. Oh, absolutely. Why don't I give you

3:21

20 minutes? You can do that right now. It takes far

3:23

longer. Why don't you just recall the notes if you're capable

3:25

of doing that during the episode? No, film there. That

3:29

part saves for some reason. So

3:32

you do know what films? The films, yes. The title, all I

3:34

have here is... You're going to write down notes that you would

3:36

read on the show after the show is over just so that

3:38

they're in your notes. That's right.

3:40

In fact, I may write down thoughts that I have

3:42

during the show as though they were in.

3:45

But you're not capable of recalling those notes in the show?

3:47

I probably am. Okay, then what are you freaking out about?

3:49

I want a major game show. I want a really good

3:51

memory. He just said

3:53

he won a major game show and he has a good

3:56

memory. Yes, we all remember that time when you were on

3:58

No Whammies. That was very good. Very impressive. Listen.

4:01

I still want a documentary about the guy who

4:03

like timed the Wayme thing. Okay,

4:05

we'll get on that. Are you familiar with this? I

4:09

know there's a DBK, speaking of which, you

4:11

just heard it on the Christmas episode. She

4:13

was saying there's a movie coming out about the serial

4:16

killer that was on the match. Oh yeah, the dating

4:18

game? The match? Yeah, I saw

4:20

that. I saw like a series or a

4:22

docu-series on that. There's a live action

4:24

version coming? I'm excited. There was actually a

4:26

guy who studied the

4:29

Wayme game, whatever it was called, and

4:31

figured out

4:33

the pattern of the life. Pressure luck, yes. And

4:36

he perfected it at the point where he

4:38

won on the show some

4:40

absurd amount of money. And his dumb friend got

4:42

cocky, right, and told him to guess the exact

4:44

number or something like that? It

4:46

was eventually obvious what he was doing,

4:48

and they changed the game as a

4:51

result. A tangent no one saw coming

4:54

on the film. That man was me. So

4:58

that man was me. Yes, we have

5:00

some big, fun, sexy movies that

5:02

Brian will do, sans notes. Well,

5:04

that's okay. And

5:07

what else is going on, kids? How is everyone?

5:09

Couple of big movies and also a signed film.

5:11

I'm in a signed film from Ryan Regenbaugh. I

5:13

just talked to Ryan Regenbaugh this morning. And

5:16

yeah, he has signed his Don't Look Now, so we'll be talking

5:18

about that. Quasi-classic,

5:22

which there's some interesting things to talk about with that one.

5:24

The movie that was not in

5:27

my purview. And

5:29

I don't know where we should start here. I don't know. Okay,

5:32

so earlier in the year, we had the Benz

5:34

when we watched the old bomb movie. Oh

5:44

my God, I'm drawing a blank. I

5:47

don't have behind notes. Bomb. There's

5:49

a bomb movie. Off and high. Off

5:51

and high. And Barbie. Yeah.

5:54

Even more of the Benz. Might be. Occurred

5:57

with Wonka and the Zone of Interest. I think that

5:59

I got... of interest as a odd

6:01

dull feature yeah and I did them within

6:03

24 hours oh and it is

6:05

strange wow you gotta come up forever to do

6:07

so really looking forward to talking about those two

6:10

as well I don't know if I should say

6:12

looking forward to talking about my story but we're

6:14

6:16

7:31

minutes did you Mitch Burns I gotta listen that

7:33

7:35

times I get really uncomfortable hearing people talk about

7:39

anything that I do which is not great

7:41

but you know say that yeah and it's almost

7:43

worse when they're nice which you know film vaulters

7:45

is glowing we totally talked about me I just

7:47

talked a lot about I should listen that I

7:49

should listen that quite enjoyable I mean I should

7:51

listen the inflation compiled by

7:54

the Mitch Burns mathematician

7:56

alone 80 on reddit saw poor thing Smart

8:02

ranks on the higher end of the oddness

8:04

scale of Lanthamos' English movies. Funny

8:06

moments and very deliberate, stylish and fantastical

8:08

set design. Highly recommend if you're a

8:10

fan of his movies. Hmm, this

8:13

one, the trailer did not do itself any favors

8:15

for me and I'm going to see it obviously.

8:17

I'll probably be talking about it with you next

8:20

week, Avery. Sorry, Brian. You

8:22

should see my eyes shifting right now. I'm gonna watch it on

8:24

the plane. Yeah, I don't think that's an option. Might be. Might

8:27

be. Why do you gotta gallivant to

8:29

the most important time of the year for the film, thank

8:31

God for Avery. Do you think this is the most important

8:33

time of the year? Of course. What

8:36

do you mean? It's when all of the biggest movies come

8:38

out. You're not gonna see them all play fast in the

8:40

same week. We do, look at what we're doing this week.

8:43

Doing like five of them. That's dead. Often

8:45

those international flights get the first run of film.

8:48

It's not gonna happen, right? Sometimes.

8:50

No. I almost really did my job and saw an

8:52

early screening of Ferrari last year. Oh, you son of a bitch.

8:55

I got booked for a show. Good. I

8:57

like it when you show us up, Avery. I was gonna see

8:59

an Adobe too. Oh, you son of a bitch. Limited run. All

9:01

right, what else did the list make of you do? Couldn't

9:03

be a film no where. Ken Cunningham. Leave

9:06

the world behind. The

9:09

smoke and mirrors of expert direction and acting. There's

9:11

nothing of substance. Didn't work for me. Okay.

9:14

Matthew Sun on Facebook took my

9:16

kids to Wonka. It

9:18

was delightful and has a pangolin feel to it. My

9:21

kids have been singing the song since we saw it and then

9:23

watched the original and they loved it too. And

9:26

lastly. That'll give you the

9:28

bends. That'll give you the bends. Lastly, randomizer55

9:30

on Reddit. Asteroid

9:32

City. Oh no. I think I'm done with

9:35

Wes Anderson. He is Chalamet. He

9:38

assembles a who's who of A-list actors and

9:40

apparently tells them to throw out all their

9:42

acting skills and deliver their lines in the

9:44

most flat, disinterested, and low energy manner possible.

9:48

But it's funny. I couldn't even get through it

9:50

without falling asleep. Wait, Chalamet wasn't in

9:52

that. No, he wasn't in

9:54

the French dispatch. I don't

9:56

think he was in that. Can you look up

9:58

the giant castle? City after

10:01

a steroid city steroid

10:04

city Doc there's so

10:06

many so many. What do you look up?

10:12

Chalamet hmm interesting. Oh Brian.

10:15

You know what? Every other actor and

10:17

actress is in it though your notes would have helped

10:19

you there. Oh fuck a he was not an asteroid

10:21

City he was in Dune Were

10:23

you thinking of Brian Cranston? Oh? I

10:26

got those you're so often Ed Norton that

10:29

was who it Edward Norton was in asteroid

10:31

City I Saw

10:46

bird box. It's the new let's hear about the new

10:48

10:50

10:53

10:56

wish he was Jesus Christ. Yeah, no good leave

10:58

the world behind It

11:01

is a family's getaway to luxurious rental home

11:04

takes an ominous turn when a cyber attack

11:06

knocks out their devices Oh dear and two

11:08

strangers appear at the door Directed

11:11

by Sam Esmail and written by Sam

11:13

Esmail in a room on alum Starting

11:16

Julia Roberts Mahershala Lee Ethan Hawke

11:18

and I can't pronounce much beer

11:20

Kevin Bacon and Mia Sure,

11:23

we'll say that's right. He even Burke who

11:25

my Allah my First

11:28

note watching that lead the world behind you just rubbing

11:30

in his face. He got notes. Yeah The

11:33

boy feel bad. I've heard over here Linda I've

11:36

got many bullet points First

11:38

note was I hate what Julia Roberts

11:41

is doing My

11:43

second note was I hope Mahershala kills all

11:45

of these white people So

11:48

the movie is long cool

11:50

it The

11:52

first holy shit is long. There's only two

11:54

hours and 20 minutes long the first 20

11:59

minutes is Anderson and likes to say are

12:01

daring you to turn it all. Julia

12:03

Roberts has almost never been more

12:05

punchable. Uh-huh, that's just something. I

12:08

like her a lot in a lot of things.

12:10

But she was not going for likability. No. So

12:13

they're staying at this, they're very

12:15

overstressed middle-aged white people with two kids and

12:17

they're trying to get away. White people have

12:20

been taking a beating for the last five

12:22

years. Oh, they take more beatings. They

12:24

want to leave the world behind. That's what the Airbnb

12:26

just put. Myhala goes by

12:28

just myhala. That's

12:31

your last name? I don't like it. I'm

12:33

out. That's what she goes by, yeah. Oh, we'll get

12:35

to her. We'll get to her, Brian. So they go to

12:37

this Airbnb. Do we call her Mrs. Law

12:39

or Miss Law? Is that how you

12:41

would do it, Miss Law? No, it's one name. It's her first

12:43

name, Myhala. Okay. And they

12:45

get there? Yeah. And they're trying to

12:47

relax. Right. They're overstressed. Yeah.

12:50

And we're having a good time. And then the power

12:52

goes out. Oh no, they're disconnected. They're sad. They can't

12:54

handle it. There's no internet. Right. The

12:57

daughter can't finish her episode of Friends. You know what they should

12:59

do. They should sue Airbnb. Well, what they

13:01

really didn't like is, well, the power's out. Two black

13:03

people show up. Oh, no. Why do you think that's

13:05

not what you want? Brian's now in. He's like, I

13:07

can relate. She was skeptical. Julia Roberts did not want

13:09

to believe that these black people were on the up

13:11

and up. And it

13:13

sort of goes from there. Marcela shows up. He

13:15

claims to be the owner of the home and shows

13:17

up with his daughter. To fix the

13:19

internet. It, well, to stay

13:21

for an unknown, unrevealed reason. Oh.

13:24

And it sort of unravels from there. So it is a

13:26

thriller. It picks up

13:28

from there. I did find myself

13:30

enjoying it. It's about three and a half stars.

13:32

Second best Airbnb movie you've seen in the last

13:34

few years. Second only. Far

13:37

behind. The Barbarian. Barbarian, as a

13:39

must see. It has some interesting

13:41

shots. It was intriguing

13:43

enough. It kept me engaged despite

13:46

having two of the least likable characters

13:48

I may have ever seen in a movie.

13:50

So what's the vibe? Is it like these

13:52

rich, hoity toity white people are just inherently

13:55

racist and watching them get to come

13:57

up with new things? Julia Roberts kind of is. The walk

13:59

is extremely likable. The kids are neither

14:01

here nor there and Mahershala Ali's daughter

14:03

is Strangle-worthy.

14:05

I Don't

14:08

know very nice as a single likable

14:10

moment on screen great And

14:12

she does share several scenes with Julia

14:14

Roberts who's the second least like cool

14:18

Together they form one like oh, yeah,

14:20

and one of the most uncomfortable dancing

14:22

scenes. I've ever seen in my entire

14:24

life I'm all fun and three doesn't

14:26

involve deer painful long shot Painful

14:30

great. Well, I'm The

14:34

ending device I Didn't

14:39

see it coming. Okay, I could I wanted a

14:41

little more and this this movie is buoyed by

14:44

Mahershala's performance. Okay, he's phenomenal in it, but

14:46

he's always phenomenal. It's sort of like a

14:48

fast bender, right? He elevates anything that he's

14:50

in Ethan Hawke is quite

14:52

good. Julie Roberts I think

14:55

she's doing what she's supposed to do, but she's

14:57

just a hateable character as his daughter And

15:00

Kevin Bacon is is enjoyable as well. He's got

15:02

a kid. Oh, he's in there as well. I

15:05

enjoyed it There were twists and turns it kept

15:07

me interested. I don't think you need to run

15:09

out and see this No, I which I mean

15:11

run to your couch and turn this

15:13

on but you could do a lot worse But it

15:15

is more enjoyable than I've made it sound it was

15:18

it was very odd to hate two characters as much

15:20

as I did But also finding the movie rather

15:22

compelling A bit

15:25

of a letdown with the ending but I enjoyed the journey

15:27

now for I would say three and a half stars And

15:29

it was it was better than I thought I went into

15:31

this thinking I was going to hate it Seeing

15:34

it just you know So we somebody covered it on the

15:36

show so we could either tell people to

15:38

avoid or see and it's kind of middle ground I've

15:41

learned my lesson and I'm not running out to see

15:43

anything if it's on just because it's on Netflix and

15:45

people are talking about it I mean, that's just it's

15:47

oh You know what? They're doing now I've

15:50

been meaning to bring this the program. It's very upsetting

15:52

before I forget also I'd also like to say that

15:54

I would like to thank you, Avery. Thank you for

15:56

that that warning

15:59

about leave the world behind. Paul

16:02

Dano as Napoleon. What do you think about that?

16:04

We're going back and forth trying to do that. That's pretty

16:06

good. Paul Dano. Paul Dano as

16:08

your Napoleon. I would have liked that a lot more. Yeah,

16:10

it's Dano, but you know what, that's good. It is Dano,

16:12

and if he changes his voice a little bit, which actors

16:14

do if they're not Joaquin. Ooh, you're gonna do Paul Dano

16:18

French. Oh, I get it, right. I get

16:20

it. Oh, that would've been good. Oh, what about that? I

16:22

needed to revisit a scene from

16:24

a movie weeks ago, and

16:26

I was not at home. I had my phone though, so I

16:29

did the sensible thing. I logged into Netflix, which

16:31

I never did on my phone. Pulled

16:34

up the movie. Saw that there's

16:36

a few options at the bottom. One

16:39

of those options is to watch it at whatever speed

16:41

you like. What? Children,

16:43

you have been talking to people 30 and

16:46

under who are most likely guilty of

16:49

this, are watching movies like they listen to

16:51

podcasts. What? At time and a half. Wow.

16:53

Now in fairness to everyone who's listening to

16:55

who might do this, I get it. Maybe

16:58

you're watching Gordon Ramsay shows or something. A

17:01

reality show. You better be watching Ken Burns. But

17:04

if you're, exactly, even Ken Burns, that's questionable.

17:06

But you can get through a nine hour

17:08

thing in six hours. But if

17:10

you're watching anything else, like

17:13

The Killer, at time

17:15

and a half. If you're watching May, December.

17:17

Holy shit. Is that the world we're

17:19

living in now? I guess the world we're living in now. I know

17:21

I heard this when I went on. Oh yeah, check it out. It's

17:23

at 1.5, you can watch it at 1.5. Which

17:26

I can, full disclosure, I

17:28

listen to all my podcasts at 1.5 and it's great. Get

17:30

the information, everyone sounds more chipper and happy. It does affect my

17:33

own speech. And when I do a show, I usually talk even

17:35

faster than a room would do. But I don't

17:37

think you can listen to this thing at 1.5 because

17:40

Brian and I are already talking pretty quick over here. They're

17:42

pretty hard to understand as it is. And add the 1.5.

17:45

Yes, I don't know if this is a... Leave the world behind, could've used

17:47

a 1.5. They could've gone a

17:49

little bit faster. Oh, so what you're saying is maybe we should watch it at 1.5. Fuck,

17:52

I kinda liked it, man. I like the 1.5. It

17:54

was kind of a guilty play. It was weird

17:56

hating so many of the characters but still wanting

17:59

to watch. Very conflicted. Your time is

18:01

up. Your time is up

18:03

for Leave the World Behind. We're leaving that review. Let me

18:05

talk about Ethan Hawke a little more. I

18:07

like that Ethan Hawke and I like that Kevin Bacon are kind of cut from

18:09

the same cloths too, right? Yeah, they fuck. They

18:11

were trying with the soundtrack. They were really trying to do,

18:14

oh, we're cool. We got a cool soundtrack. You'd really like

18:16

what we're doing. They

18:18

open with a hardcore rap song for

18:20

the credits. It's now national. And then it cuts to Julia

18:22

Roberts just in a car talking on a phone. Like, do

18:24

we need this? Do we need

18:27

Joey Badass leading into Julia Roberts bitching

18:29

about her ad? I feel like

18:31

we've moved on. From

18:33

that review, I've heard that. Hey,

18:36

Brian. Avery

18:39

as well, if you can keep

18:41

up. What are we doing

18:44

here? The zone of interest? Are we doing a little

18:46

Wonka? What are we doing here, kids? I've seen neither.

18:48

I have very little interest in either. I'm in Tether.

18:50

I don't know what to do. I'm floating

18:52

his face. Because you don't have notes. You're

18:55

seeing the full picture of

18:57

Brian here. This is Brian in

18:59

school when he's done a bunch

19:01

of effort and work and then he

19:03

doesn't have his little cheat sheet. And he's just like, I'm

19:06

worthless. Completely. All right, let's do Wonka.

19:08

I mean, because we just spent a long time on

19:10

something. I have the Wonka page of Wikipedia. So let's

19:12

do Wonka. Okay,

19:14

let's do Wonka. Take it away, Breb. Wonka

19:17

is a movie. Great,

19:19

buddy. I

19:21

saw. Brian? Oh,

19:25

God. All

19:28

right. Films

19:31

directed by Paul King. He,

19:36

the director of Paddington One and Paddington

19:38

Two. This is starring instead of

19:40

a big ensemble cast. So stay with me.

19:44

Timothy Chalamet as Willy Wonka.

19:47

Shaw, Kala, Kala, Kala Lane.

19:51

Keeno, King and Michael Key. Patterson

19:54

Joseph. Matt Lucas. Matthew

19:57

Boy. Bainton. Sally Hells. Good

19:59

night. Romak and then

20:01

Jim Carter Natasha Rothwell of

20:03

the Coleman and Hugh Grant

20:05

are amongst the many stars

20:08

of this film 93%

20:11

wrong doing no no no this is

20:13

like 84 something that right Sally Hawkins

20:16

I said did you I did you said that

20:18

Sally okay, I guess 84 and is advise any

20:20

for You guys 84 I committed

20:23

to them 84 right in demand us And

20:27

This is a good example and we

20:29

talk about sometimes as it

20:31

pertains to expectations Now

20:34

I had either I Feel

20:36

I had heard on this show and had

20:39

since forgotten or perhaps and every process

20:41

all dream that it was directed by

20:44

this movie Was directed by the same

20:46

man who directed? directed Did

20:50

not realize that until I got home and did

20:52

a research on this film now

20:54

how would you not realize it? Yeah,

20:58

he's got kind of a Anonymous

21:01

name or common name Doesn't

21:04

really jump out as I you know it's not

21:07

Quentin Tarantino that said

21:09

example, it's not Sam Esmail. It's

21:11

decent. Three. No, would you get off of that

21:13

leave the world behind? Thank

21:16

goodness I did not know

21:19

anything about this movie going into it

21:21

because my expectations were very low I

21:24

did not want to see the trailer.

21:26

Well, I was Underwhelming trailer was terrible

21:30

Really don't like Tim and the shot of Adam. We

21:32

are thoughts on the many I Have

21:35

never enjoyed him in film really I think call

21:37

me by your name. Oh my

21:39

god I've tolerated him to been annoyed by

21:41

him. What about lady bird? Lady

21:44

bird lady bird who's green lady bird? Brother

21:47

remember lady he was like the angsty teen like

21:49

a hot guy in the band. Yeah, that was

21:51

the speaking of which I barely

21:53

remember himself. No, but I was

21:56

number two. I was afraid that like a

21:58

fuck. I don't want angsty like like young

22:00

teen Wonka, you know what I mean? Well, you're not getting

22:02

that. Didn't know. Yeah. Also,

22:05

don't have any more musicals I need in my

22:07

life. Not many. Like, don't need any more

22:09

musicals in my life. And number three, four, five, where we are, do

22:13

I need another, like, I already have

22:15

the burns, the scars from

22:17

the Tim Burton adaptation of 2005.

22:21

Like how many more iterations of Wonka? That's on

22:23

you, dude. Why would you do that? Why

22:25

would you watch that? You never saw? I

22:28

mean, I might have been in a pinch with Atticus like

22:30

a year ago or so, but I didn't ever want to

22:32

watch it. Well, I watched the original and then

22:34

he's like, oh, dad, look, there's another one. I'm like, all right, kid.

22:36

I saw him belt. Thank God. I

22:39

do not know any of these things

22:41

because this movie was a goddamn delight.

22:44

I enjoyed every minute. I agree.

22:46

I was confused too because I get not knowing

22:48

it was the text. Why am I smiling? Half

22:51

an hour in, I'm like, why is

22:53

this movie so much fun? Off the charts

22:55

on the fun. Very fun. Smooth

22:57

scale, the going down smooth scale, all those things

22:59

is like a very fun blended

23:02

icy. I got

23:04

a smoothie, a smoothie of fun. Perfect

23:06

consistency. Hey, who in their right mind,

23:09

what professional paid film critic in their right

23:11

mind gives this a bad idea? Okay, I

23:13

can tell you. Please. I

23:16

want to hear this. Someone who... No one should...

23:19

No one who knows anything should say, yeah, this is a below average

23:21

movie. Somebody who is

23:23

married to the original would

23:25

have problems with this one. Like did

23:27

the idea of making this. The

23:29

differences too and how this one's obviously made

23:32

more for a modern day child where everything

23:34

should be positive. And I

23:36

was thinking the same thing and honestly, I wasn't

23:38

loving this movie 20 minutes in and then the

23:40

second act really slayed me and I was actually

23:43

crying throughout parts of it. I

23:45

was enjoying it so much. It was one of those shit

23:47

eating grin movies where I decided a giant grin on my

23:49

face. I can't believe that I'm enjoying this kind of production

23:51

as much as I am, but I'm happy about

23:54

it. I'm okay with that side of

23:56

me and I'm just like, I'm taking the right. Honestly,

23:58

the third act let me down. a little bit I

24:00

was thinking like this is maybe my favorite movie of the

24:02

year what the fuck's going on right now? I really do

24:04

believe this is one of the best movies of the year.

24:08

I was having a hard time with his

24:10

demeanor because the... Oh

24:12

I like that. I like Chalamet more than this and

24:14

I liked him ever before and all the movies combined.

24:16

Chalamet is kind of like that with me whenever I'm

24:18

watching him. Like, it's kind of like Hugh Grant as

24:20

well. Like when I'm watching Hugh Grant I'm like this

24:22

guy is a fucking treasure. He's so... He

24:26

makes a bunch of rom coms. It's

24:31

hard with Timmy... I was just in New York

24:33

and Timmy Chalamet is on every corner looking sultry

24:35

at me for some kind of like aroma. Sure

24:37

seems he directed that apparently. Did he? But

24:41

it's really easy to hate the Chalamet. Kind

24:44

of like Justin Bieber comes out of nowhere and he's a heartthrob.

24:46

But I mean that Chalamet. From the time

24:48

that we saw him and he called me by your name, didn't care for the movie. It wasn't a

24:50

movie made for me. Appreciate his performance.

24:52

Appreciate the film making there. He's fun and

24:54

don't look up. He

24:56

was one of the more fun but you're exactly

24:58

right. But

25:01

this Wonka, the problem I was having

25:03

with him not being the sardonic, cynical

25:07

Wonka that I grew up with. I

25:10

ended up turning the corner on that and really liking it

25:12

because of the messages in the movie. And I think what

25:14

it's going for. And if they were to make another one

25:16

to get the bridge there to where he got. Because if

25:19

you remember in the original he's talking about how

25:21

he turned his back in the public because he got sick of

25:23

people. And I think this is the idealistic. He got

25:25

rejected by the time of the 1970s. The

25:27

creator, the version, the wide eyed,

25:30

piss and vinegar and happy and

25:32

excited and optimistic. And something happens

25:34

and now I want a bridge.

25:39

So I ended up buying. There's

25:41

more meat on this bone for sure. You want Wonka

25:44

strikes back. This is Wonka Begins. It

25:47

is. It kind of, I mean there's a whole story before it

25:49

as well with them growing up in the rainforest. But

25:51

no, I mean where this movie has some

25:54

shortcomings you got to remind yourself that you're watching a

25:56

movie that's for kids. It's elevated. It's a very, very

25:58

elevated kids movie. Just like Paterson 1. to

26:00

a greater degree, patented to. So much

26:02

fun. Paul King has a tone that,

26:05

as far as I can tell, is only rivaled by Pixar.

26:08

His tone is so consistent

26:10

and so unwavering. As far

26:12

as live action goes. Yeah. I'm

26:14

just like, in all of the messages

26:16

with the fine print, it's

26:19

like a comic movie in almost some ways,

26:21

right? But yeah, I almost

26:23

felt like it was a

26:25

direct attack on Spirit Airlines when they

26:27

were talking, when they trapped him in

26:29

the hotel. And

26:32

every little extra thing that he used and did was in

26:34

the fine print. Well, he used the stairs. Charred.

26:37

That was a little bit of a sweetie thought. Yeah,

26:39

he used the stairs. Here's a stair fee. That's Spirit

26:41

Airlines. I mean, he used anything there. So

26:44

it's very, very good. Chalamet just fucking nailed it.

26:47

He crushed it. He's great. And

26:50

I was so taken aback by sunny and bright Chalamet

26:55

that I was like, oh, I'm enjoying

26:57

this. He was very good. And

26:59

I liked seeing that version of Wonka who's

27:01

like going to change the world with his

27:03

chocolate. Because honestly, growing up, I liked Willy

27:05

Wonka. I didn't love it. I saw it

27:08

probably two, three times. I've seen it since

27:10

with Atticus. And there's

27:12

something a little, ah, for

27:14

the Wonka heads out there. I don't want, but there was

27:17

always just something a little bit like, why would a man

27:19

who hates the public so much make

27:21

such sweet confections, right?

27:24

And there is something. He even alludes to it. And

27:26

forgive me. I don't know the exact, he might even

27:28

have a backstory as to why he closed his factory

27:30

down. I think it was somebody fucked around too much

27:32

or something. But he lost his

27:35

patience and his love for

27:37

the public. The

27:39

public just continued to let him down, which I

27:41

can remember. Just people in general and

27:43

masses and what they choose. I don't like

27:45

human beings. I do not like human beings.

27:47

So this is the uncorrupted

27:50

innocent version of Wonka, which I

27:52

absolutely buy. I liked it. There's

27:56

so many ways to go with that character. Kim Burton

27:58

went the wrong way. and made

28:00

them a psychotic weirdo, and then here we

28:02

are with just that guy you wouldn't mind

28:05

hanging out with. Yeah. This

28:07

is a fun person out of my life. And some of the

28:09

songs, I think they slapped as

28:11

the kids say, some of the songs were like,

28:13

okay. What do they call it? No. What

28:17

was it earlier, whether it was Swish Swish or Slut

28:20

Slop? Yeah, I gotta

28:22

see it again. Scrub Scrub?

28:24

Yeah, yeah. I was, so I

28:26

was supposed to see this in my favorite theater ever, and I

28:29

was gonna see it today with Atticus at the Village Theater in

28:31

Westwood here. It's a theater I grew up going to with my

28:33

dad, and I was very excited, I was pumping up the boy

28:35

about it for a week. I did. And

28:38

then we went to see The Boy

28:40

and the Heron at my AMC. That's

28:43

a Herm, I made a different movie, Heron,

28:45

Boy and the Heron. Heron. And

28:47

I misread, speaking of fine print, because

28:50

they had the dad playing two separate theaters

28:52

in my multi-plex, not

28:54

important, but I

28:56

chose the one that was subtitled. And

29:00

we're sitting there, got our popcorn, we're all excited,

29:02

and then it comes up. He's

29:04

learning to read, but I'm like, oh no, sorry

29:06

buddy. He's like, it goes too fast, dad. I'm

29:08

like, you're right, yeah, you're right, buddy, I'm sorry.

29:10

So we just took our, sadly took our popcorn,

29:12

walked out. Right across the hall

29:14

was Wonka, Plain and Prime was about to start, so we

29:17

just slipped in there. Nice. It was a

29:19

happy act. They're doing that a lot with Boy and

29:21

the Heron, where it seems like the majority of the

29:23

screenings are in Japanese, which I thought was interesting.

29:25

Yeah, his core audience, I think, like the

29:27

pure version, which I get. But when it's

29:30

dubbed right, and when it's dubbed properly, I

29:34

mean, I could go either way, but. I was

29:37

kind of bummed I didn't see it dubbed based on the

29:39

cast, I saw it in the original Japanese. Maybe

29:41

I'll see the subtitle, because I get to choose. Because

29:45

I'm seeing it, I can miss out on Willem Despo, what am

29:47

I talking about? Yeah, I'm taking Atticus anyways, what am I talking

29:49

about? I'm gonna take him back, so. I would like to see

29:51

Wonka again with it. You know what,

29:53

Atticus been like Wonka half as much as I did. I

29:56

think that was semi-indo. You gotta be

29:58

Willem Despo playing a pelican. All right. All

30:00

right. I'll see you dubbed you talking

30:04

All right, so yeah wonka interested when the kids come

30:07

in and ask them how they like it wonka thoughts

30:09

are yeah, that'll kiss We'll give you a yeah His

30:13

31:58

we're back talk

32:00

about quick quick back to Hugh Grant though we didn't

32:02

talk about Hugh Grant and it's it's I guess it's

32:04

a known thing that how is he

32:06

because he in the preview it looks terrible

32:09

I'm gonna say a little button at the end

32:11

of the trailer where he's messing with his reclining

32:13

chair I wanted to sprint out of

32:16

the theater the reclining chair bit was fantastic really he's

32:18

fantastic throughout and what I was starting to say is

32:20

like I guess he's been on record in a few

32:22

interviews talking about how it was one of the worst

32:24

experiences ever had he hated the green screen he didn't

32:27

know what the hell was going on the entire time

32:29

he was on set but yeah he

32:31

probably spent a couple days shooting them and he just

32:33

he said repeatedly that he did not enjoy himself

32:35

but yeah I thought that he was like in McKellen

32:37

and the Hobbit where he's like what the fuck

32:40

is happening yeah but no

32:42

his uh his uh

32:44

fucking over everything demeanor

32:46

was great it was it was a height

32:48

of Hugh Grant height height

32:50

yeah he's not small enough or is he

32:54

I'll have you know for a little yeah but

32:56

there's a twist there I gotta do it again okay do

33:01

we need to see you yes I mean if you're

33:04

a little down the dumps or it's like raining

33:06

gray and using a little pick-me-up it's like it's

33:09

like having a little shot of like you know

33:11

colorful like you know Christmas time on this you

33:13

know I love the pageants like it's a good

33:15

movie I would say yeah it's a notch below

33:19

in some respects in some respects is better because

33:21

Paddington was the weakest part of Paddington for me

33:23

like the lead was the week the

33:25

weakest part and I think Wonka

33:27

definitely Wonka is very good great

33:29

supporting cast as well yeah they're

33:31

all great but Wonka Timmy Timmy

33:34

crushes it you know it's gonna give

33:36

it up I enjoyed Timmy more than I enjoyed

33:38

him ever before you'll walk out smiling it's

33:40

it's a little adrenaline this is not a

33:42

hard lot this is a treat you'll enjoy

33:44

this and then when you're too high and

33:47

you're feeling like you enjoy the world too much and you take

33:49

a step down well you go watch the zone of interest

33:52

hold on am I gonna look it up? could

33:55

have done that I mean well oh we took

33:57

a break we just took a break I went on

33:59

about Hugh Grant for a moment. There's

34:01

plenty of opportunities for you to have

34:03

done this instead of making us sit

34:06

through it. It's weird that

34:08

you're actually spelling it out into the microphone to that.

34:11

How about I just do it? How about that?

34:13

Too late. Because I do the

34:17

non-American names really well. That's

34:20

right. The Stone of Interest is a 20-turn-of-three

34:22

film written and directed

34:25

by Jonathan Glaser. He's the writer

34:27

and director of Under the Skin

34:29

and Sexy Beast. Birth,

34:31

buddy. You've buried the lead. Birth. You

34:34

haven't seen birth. How do you

34:37

not see birth, Brian? Have I seen birth? No,

34:39

you'd remember. Because Nicole Kidman... No,

34:43

I've seen birth. Her husband dies early in

34:45

the film, the opening scene. It seems like

34:47

an incident. And then a 10-year-old boy shows

34:49

up at her door shortly

34:51

thereafter and says, hey, I'm your husband, reincarnate.

34:54

That's weird. It's quite different. And it gets strange. Oh,

34:57

you get strange from there? It gets strange. Birth.

35:00

All right. That's a nice little side

35:03

route. Get us back to the Stone of Interest.

35:06

It is starring a

35:08

bunch of Germans. That'll

35:10

do. Christian Friedl as

35:13

Rudolf Hoss. Rudolf. And Sandra

35:16

Holler as Hedwig Hoss.

35:18

Sandra, she is the lead in this. It

35:20

is her story. She is the

35:22

wife of the Nazi that Brian just named.

35:25

But I just want to say that Sandra,

35:27

for those of you who have seen Anatomy

35:29

of a Fall, which I think we might

35:31

be covering as early as next week, Brian

35:33

Darrylakson is doing. Might be on the plane.

35:35

She's the lead in Anatomy of a Fall

35:37

as well. Yeah, yeah, I've been bugging you

35:39

to watch it for quite

35:41

some time. I got a screener. Yeah. We

35:44

got a screener from a friend named Mitch

35:46

Purse. Did you believe 50 Cent makes a

35:48

cameo? Nice. He actually does. That's

35:50

not a lie. Anatomy

35:53

of a Fall. Anatomy of a Fall. We'll

35:55

talk more about it next week. Very, I think, very,

35:57

very good at times thinking this is for a long

36:00

I got a lock for the Baltis for me,

36:03

ultimately, dissatisfied.

36:07

What we'll talk about. It falls just short?

36:09

It did fall just short, probably. 92%

36:12

for Zone of Interest on Rotten

36:14

Tomatoes, 92. This

36:17

is in theaters now. Let's

36:19

talk Zone of Interest. So,

36:22

I've noticed. Face on a book, right?

36:25

Loosely. Glazer is, you

36:28

know, he's one of the more interesting filmmakers out

36:30

there. He makes one like every 16 years or

36:32

so. He doesn't work nearly enough, because everything he

36:34

makes is very interesting. You're,

36:36

whether you're enjoying- Apparently he's done years researching this.

36:38

Whether, sound, he's researching the sound. Whether you enjoy

36:40

his movies or not, you'll never forget them, which

36:42

I think is worth the price of admission most

36:44

of the time. You know, the worst thing for

36:46

me is a movie I go into, and I

36:49

can't remember it as I'm walking out. Under the

36:51

skin, I don't know if I liked it, but

36:53

certain scenes of fucking movies. The

36:55

more I think about it, the more

36:57

I think I like that movie now, I

37:00

don't know. He's got one of those guys.

37:02

He's one of those- It's troubling. Filmmakers who, Zone of

37:05

Interest did not seem like it'd be interesting at all.

37:07

The story is this- Zone of Disinterest. Thank

37:10

you. Put my notes. Don't

37:13

say thank you for nothing, Brian. I do

37:15

nothing to lead you to thank you. Oh, you're

37:17

the audience. There's a lot of round of applause.

37:19

The story is- They're still going. A very, very

37:22

high ranking officer, if not the highest

37:24

ranking officer of Auschwitz, and

37:26

his family. It's Nazis doing

37:29

normal things. It's like the first 20 to 30

37:31

minutes. It is the mundanity of everyday life of

37:33

enlisted men and their families. Nope. It's

37:36

just his family. Sorry.

37:39

Of people who live this life, which

37:41

is their enlisted man, the family who's

37:43

leading a otherwise normal

37:46

life, except for the fact they're living

37:48

across a wall

37:50

from the Auschwitz. There's a wall in

37:53

their backyard. We all have walls, especially out here

37:55

in Southern California, that separate us from our neighbors.

37:58

If you live in a single family. residents. Their

38:01

wall was, had the chicken wire out there,

38:03

what do you call it, the barbed wire.

38:06

And on the other side of the wall was

38:08

Auschwitz. Yes, you can see the smokestacks. That

38:11

was one of the many artful

38:14

things about the movie was at

38:16

any given time you're watching this family

38:18

playing, eating, you know, lunch

38:21

in a garden, having pee,

38:23

whatever they're doing, just

38:25

playing with a dog, playing in the

38:27

pool. In the background there's the smokestacks

38:29

and the occasional scream. Not the occasional

38:31

scream. And I think that that ramped

38:33

up as the movie went on. It

38:36

was kind of amazing. And gunshots, you

38:38

know what I mean? Like I kept

38:40

thinking after the during the movie, after the movie,

38:42

like we've all, especially if you're a certain age

38:44

and you've been reading or aware of things around

38:46

you, like we've all seen

38:48

and heard about the atrocities and seen

38:50

it through films and television shows. Like

38:52

we've seen it. And I don't

38:54

know if we need to, we

38:56

obviously never forget, but I don't know if we need to

38:59

see the torture and the suffering. Our

39:02

minds already have a framework for it. Yes. And

39:04

I think that was very purposeful in this where

39:06

he could set it up with the audio, we

39:08

could hear it going on. Yes, you know what's

39:10

happening. And thus, this gives us

39:13

the very rare at this point, peek

39:16

into, like give

39:18

us a side of this

39:20

whole Gestalt, the World War

39:22

II, the Holocaust that we've

39:24

never seen. I've never seen before. Honestly,

39:27

I don't really care.

39:29

I don't need to see Nazis just living normal

39:31

lives on the other side of the wall. But

39:34

what it's ultimately saying, and

39:36

I think there's a lot of parallels

39:38

with what is happening with the world and what

39:40

happens continually with the world, which is the apathy

39:42

or the turning a blind eye. Only caring about

39:45

your little

39:47

bubble, right? And the ability to do that.

39:49

Now, obviously Hedwig, the lead

39:51

in this, his wife, the

39:53

housemaker with her. He thought she was the lead.

39:56

Oh, yeah. I didn't,

39:59

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm simply saying this

40:01

film is, flies in the

40:03

face of what you'd expect from a lot of

40:05

traditional filmmaking storytelling, and thus, I don't know if

40:07

there is a true lead, but okay, in this

40:09

much of a sense. I would say that it's

40:11

her story, and she's the main target, and there's

40:13

definitely a target in this movie, and it's her

40:15

who, I mean, I don't wanna get to the end,

40:17

maybe we can do a quick spoiler on this one. I

40:20

was not enjoying myself at all during this movie. It was hard

40:22

to watch. Are you supposed to? No, you're not supposed to enjoy

40:24

it. It is the opposite end of the fun's game. It is

40:26

very opposite of. Like the one with Wonka. And I saw Wonka

40:28

after this, so it was a nice palate cleanser. I think that's

40:30

the way you do it. You don't wanna do it backwards. But

40:34

seeing her just so

40:37

callously go through all

40:39

the normal things you would imagine a housewife

40:41

of the 40s and 50s to go through

40:43

and do with the children, and with

40:45

her husband going off to work, and we don't

40:47

spend any time on the other side of the

40:49

walks over a very brief moment, where it's a

40:51

shot from low angle, and we see him, and

40:53

we see some smoke going over his head. Unnecessary,

40:56

I don't even know if that scene needed

40:58

to be in there. We could have spent

41:00

the entire time on the other side of

41:02

the wall. It certainly didn't involve any prisoners

41:04

or whatnot. We never see one prisoner

41:06

except for the ones that come on the

41:08

other side of the wall. Where is that

41:10

callous it was called the workers? They were

41:12

in desert flames. Yes, and some of them

41:15

were housekeepers in her house. Oh,

41:17

we heard some. Yeah.

41:21

It's a slow reveal to see

41:24

just how. No, it is. But

41:26

then there's the, so. All

41:28

y'all know what, with the lipstick.

41:31

What about? So

41:34

she gets like the spoils of the people that

41:37

are brought in, the Jewish people that are brought

41:39

in, fur coat shows up,

41:41

and they bring it over. They have

41:43

orders to obviously anything nice. Previously owned

41:45

products just to show. That the common

41:47

stuff like wife, whatever, his wife, if

41:51

she might like a mint coat, bring it over, and she

41:53

checks the pocket, and there's lipstick in there, and she immediately

41:55

puts it down and goes through the jacket and tries to

41:57

jacket on, and then she goes over to the lipstick. Takes

42:00

it up. She does take a little bit off the top,

42:02

but then uses that you're thinking like she doesn't want your

42:04

like She just takes a little bit off the top This

42:07

is a person who's dead already about to be dead or

42:09

is being tortured and then like it doesn't even occur to

42:11

her I doesn't even she just like oh cool new lipstick

42:13

and she's trying it on like at herself in the mirror

42:15

just the amount of callousness callous

42:17

like this association from what

42:20

was happening and There

42:23

are some she does ultimately verbalize Some

42:26

of those things before the movies over sure

42:28

is the movie I didn't realize was affecting

42:30

me as I was watching until the next

42:32

morning Yeah, it's similar similar in the way

42:34

that I watched under the skin Which is

42:36

I don't even know if I like this

42:38

movie, but there are certain elements and aspects

42:40

that are gonna stick with me I'd

42:44

saw I could think about first thing I woke up

42:46

That's all I could think about was that movie and

42:48

just people and just hide it Fucking

42:51

shocking that there It's

42:54

my it's I just I can't wrap my I remember

42:56

I wasn't I was in seventh grade when I first

42:58

really learned about the Atrocities I wrote a book. I

43:00

read a book and that was

43:02

where I might higher world you change I had no idea

43:05

that people were capable. I just had no idea seventh grade

43:07

I was like, I don't know when you guys first really

43:10

learned about that sounds all right Yeah, Susan around

43:12

then and it's just everything that I thought

43:14

I knew I didn't and my died I think that it's

43:16

kind of like where I'm just like, you know what? I

43:19

became very angry. Yeah Wow and

43:22

angry Andy was born that day

43:24

movie is a very New

43:28

look at look at just how

43:30

awful people are I

43:32

would like to talk to you about some

43:34

of the choices and some other things spoiler.

43:36

Yeah, what up the the

43:40

the people It's

43:42

creepier The more mundane it

43:44

is you know what I mean? I'm sure the

43:46

more business like they are about this whole thing.

43:49

It's somewhat creepier What

43:51

she's like there's a scene where she's a few

43:54

scenes Where she has her mom

43:56

over to show her mom the beautiful house that she lives

43:58

in in the garden in the backyard while

44:00

all these things are going on on the

44:02

other side of the wall. Now it's not

44:04

completely knowing to the mom at this point

44:06

what's happening. My mom doesn't... Mom thinks

44:08

it's a work camp. Right, but

44:11

mom... Mom puts

44:13

things together eventually. But

44:16

at that point she just thinks that most people

44:18

just think it's like, you know, they're still keeping

44:20

it under wraps. And

44:22

yeah, she's proud of her house and she's proud

44:24

of like, you know, the life that she's built

44:26

with her on the backs of war, the backs

44:28

of war crimes and

44:33

war prisoners. And yeah, this is not

44:35

a movie I ever want to revisit

44:37

again. No. It's

44:40

probably one of those award baby movies that it's probably

44:42

up for Best Picture. Is this not for

44:45

a foreign language film? Yeah, it's probably

44:47

gonna be up for that. Interesting.

44:49

Yeah. Hey, how is that without saying international films?

44:51

What did it come... I think it's international. I

44:54

don't know how I felt about the ending. The

44:56

ending felt like it took me out of it

44:58

a little bit. Yeah, it was

45:00

confusing. It was jarring. And it took me a minute

45:02

to process what was happening. But

45:05

that's what was going on in his head too.

45:07

We'll talk about that in a spoiler. Felt

45:10

like it, yeah. Felt like it was

45:12

standing outside the narrative. It

45:14

was an interesting way of illustrating

45:17

what was going on inside his head. And

45:19

I ultimately really liked it, I think. Right.

45:22

But this is a movie I recommend to people

45:24

who like to be challenged a little bit,

45:27

who for lack of a better

45:29

term, who do like to think

45:32

back to movies and change their world purview

45:35

a little bit. Because this... I

45:37

imagine that this is how... And it's a fucking movie.

45:39

I don't know if it's based on... But he did

45:41

a bunch of research and I feel like I'm in

45:43

good hands with Jonathan Glazer. I don't feel like he's

45:45

gonna be just making up bullshit for

45:47

the sake of making it up. But

45:49

it's just audio towards the end that it's just fucking heartbreaking

45:51

that you hear. Or it's someone of the only times where

45:53

you can actually hear a word spoken on the other side

45:56

of the wall. Holy fuck. The

45:58

apple fight. This

46:00

is a movie, don't take a date on this movie. Go

46:04

in. Or do it and really figure out where you stand.

46:06

And just realize that people can be led down very,

46:09

very, very dark roads. I don't know if they're born

46:11

that way or if they just kind of go with

46:13

the flow. I don't know. I just

46:15

don't know. I don't know. Every. Between

46:18

the two films, please can't really lean towards seeing longer. I

46:20

think this one's something real. Pick

46:22

me up. Yeah, this will definitely

46:24

reset your calendars. Seems like a great way

46:26

to bridge the gap between Christmas and New

46:29

Year's. If you like to bend. Oh

46:31

my God. I like to think about Wonka and some of the

46:33

songs. Then I go back to the zone of interest and I

46:35

start daydreaming about that. It's just one of those movies where I

46:37

know it's important but I just can't bring myself to see it.

46:40

I never saw 12 Years a Slave. I just don't.

46:42

I don't. 12 Years a

46:44

Slave is a far, far, far better movie. I

46:46

just don't need that misery. I get it. I

46:49

feel like I know the. Yeah, it's all what your brain

46:51

is doing with the misery though. The

46:54

audio track is so

46:57

realistic and so thought

47:00

and visually arresting

47:03

but it's audio. When

47:05

your mind is filling in the blanks and

47:08

it's probably worse. I don't know. I don't

47:10

know if it's worse. My brain just exists in that zone enough

47:12

where I don't know if I need to sit down and intentionally.

47:14

What do you think of the visual? Did

47:16

you enjoy, what did you think of

47:18

the night vision? I think I was second. Interesting.

47:51

The visibility of using the night vision. It

47:53

took me two of those sequences,

47:56

those night sequences to figure out who was actually doing it

47:58

because you can't see. It's like

48:00

this negative effect and I'm, forgive me, I didn't

48:02

do the research, but it was something we've never

48:04

seen on screen before. It's something that a modern

48:06

day predator would see. It would be like, you've

48:08

seen it in like, I think

48:11

either Zero Dark Thirty or Sicario. Actual night

48:13

vision. Yeah, well the actual night vision, but

48:15

this was different. This was clear and it

48:17

was crisp and it wasn't like the long

48:19

version. I was digitized, I figure. It

48:22

was like negative film, essentially. Interesting.

48:25

And it had a very, and the sound

48:27

design that they were using, the music, the

48:30

instrument that they were using for that

48:32

was so haunting and uncomfortable. And

48:35

it evolved, it just evolved a girl

48:37

out planting fruit around. Strategic

48:41

locations around the camp, essentially. Yeah,

48:44

this is a, it's one of

48:46

those movies you'll never forget. Indeed. And

48:48

I, last thing on the zone of

48:50

interest, I was anticipating being bored

48:53

to tears. For the

48:55

first 12, 15 minutes I was. It

48:58

took a little while to settle into what was going on and then

49:00

like, okay, now I'm in the family. You felt like you were in

49:02

the family house just to fly on the wall. And

49:05

it's not one of those movies that's torturously slow. I

49:08

don't think, I was anticipating that. Once

49:10

it gets going. And that's a credit

49:12

to the editor, the filmmaker, the sound

49:14

design, everything. Like you're invested

49:16

in the experience for sure. It's not like

49:19

Michael, Hanukkah, Hanukkah,

49:22

and he's daring you to just fucking leave. Like

49:24

that's not happening here. And the performances are great,

49:26

she's great. He's

49:28

great. Yeah. Yeah, it opens

49:30

up with them all like, just hanging out with their kids by

49:32

the river. Yeah. Which

49:35

actually, you know what? That's when

49:37

it comes to that Apple fighting scene too. That kind of, oh,

49:40

that's another thing I'd like to talk to you about. What might've

49:42

been going on there with the escape from the

49:44

river scene. We should talk more about that too.

49:46

Okay, I forgot about that. What was I talking

49:48

about? All right, check out for that. I'll look

49:50

out for that in your Patreon feed. We should

49:53

check a break. Yeah, I can do Amazon for

49:55

the kids. Yeah, yeah,

49:57

yeah, for sure. All right, quick break. You're gonna have

49:59

to do a lot of editing. a little fancy editing there. You

50:02

go with that, Amy. What is it? What

50:04

do you mean fancy editing? Let's go here. Oh, he's going to

50:06

have it in this episode? Oh, it's all one episode. Oh, of

50:08

course. Yeah, let's do it. All

50:10

right, Amy, then next, then kids. It's

50:21

been a couple of weeks since

50:24

I was able to look at Write

50:26

Down and Review. That saved, by

50:28

the way. Thank God. I'm going to

50:30

have to work the Amazon purchases made

50:32

on the Amazon banner link.

50:35

Excuse me. I don't understand, Brad. I

50:37

know I really am. I'm on European

50:39

time, buddy. You made me a big

50:41

You just started. Yeah.

50:45

Keep the illusion going. The great

50:47

illusion. And so two weeks of purchases

50:49

means a robust Amazon read. You manage

50:51

to find the music twice. I'm going

50:53

without music this time, so I'm going

50:55

to time it perfectly. Here

50:58

are the things purchased on the

51:00

Amazon link and Anderson Brian dot cup.

51:03

Turn this light up. And now, Hershel, it

51:05

was the strongest part of now, as I

51:08

heard, I heard more. Two

57:23

57:25

different. Excellent. You're showing your age. You're

57:27

showing you're like I'm too cool for movies like that.

57:29

Sing Street's a banger. Once

57:32

you're a dad, you know what Sing

57:34

One and Sing Two is. I skated and

57:36

avoided both of those. Lucky guy. What's

57:39

with the pig on the billboard? But

57:41

Sing Street is the same guy that

57:43

yeah. Which we just watched for the Great Ham Smith. Look

57:50

at that. It hit the post. Sing

57:53

Street is sweet. Sing Street is a-

57:55

Sing Street is a- Sing Street is a-

57:57

Sing Street is a- Oh my God. in

58:00

the same day and he was floating. He

58:02

just flew off the bat like a cartoon

58:04

character. He's good. Yeah. He

58:07

was like smacking gum. Smelling bacon.

58:09

Exactly. Amazing. Come hither. Ah, stupid.

58:12

Alright. You

58:15

got to do back to the program. Back it up! Welcome

58:27

back. Time to talk about

58:29

one more film. Ah, no. Because I'm me and

58:31

I got to do this. Two more quick little

58:33

tidbits about the zone of interest. One,

58:37

maybe one of the more disturbing PG-13 movies you'll ever

58:39

see. It's a PG-13 movie. Really?

58:41

It's got a way away because it's all audio.

58:43

Yeah, it's no, there's no blood and there's no

58:45

violence and there's no swearing. The

58:48

atrocities are all like audible and you've got

58:50

to let your mind do the horrific or

58:52

a lifting. And also, back to

58:54

my point being it's her story. I do believe,

58:56

and I could be wrong on this, but the way I

58:58

interpret the title is it's her zone of interest. She's only

59:01

interested in her surroundings. Oh,

59:03

her, the blinders' room. Yeah. The zone

59:05

of interest is her zone of interest

59:07

as the housewife. Do

59:10

not yawn as I'm explaining something that

59:12

most people would find pitulating.

59:18

Hey, can I jump in with a tidbit? As

59:22

long as you're doing the little... I'd

59:24

be a total jerk to say no to this. But no.

59:27

Apparently. I've heard. Only

59:29

predators yawn. Why

59:36

would you hear that? Some

59:38

fact something. There

59:40

you go. You're

59:43

ready to pounce. What are you talking about? I've seen a

59:45

sloth yawn. They've been praying on

59:47

that leaf. Pray on sleep.

59:49

I don't know if I've seen a sloth yawn, but it

59:51

seems like it would match. It seems

59:53

like it would be even. I don't think it is. Alright,

59:55

I'm going to keep my eyes open. I might be wrong.

59:59

I'm not the brightest. One of my very first... What's the most interesting switch

1:00:01

to say? I can't, you know, I'm going with you.

1:00:04

So dumb. Don't

1:00:07

have interest. Hi. You know what else

1:00:09

is rated R? No, it's PC-13. Favorite.

1:00:12

No, it's rated R. What's rated R? Leave

1:00:14

the world behind. No, but you've fucked up.

1:00:16

You said you know what else. I know.

1:00:19

You should have said what. You know what? Not rated

1:00:21

R. Don't make this a running joke. I'm not

1:00:23

like... Let's leave the world behind. Let's leave the

1:00:25

world behind. I'm staying in the world. Yeah, exactly.

1:00:28

Fuck, I think I like it. You've got that thing that a lot of people have. Every

1:00:30

time you talk about a movie, you like it. If you

1:00:33

talk about it more, you like it more. It was a good

1:00:35

mystery. Don't say that. Oh, Jesus. I'm

1:00:37

not watching your two-hour, 80-minute... No, it was not

1:00:39

a good mystery. Netflix movie. How are there for

1:00:41

your consideration, best picture, billboards? For air. I have

1:00:43

not seen air. For air. I

1:00:46

can't speak to that. I don't know. Can I tell...

1:00:49

Air! This guy loves air. I

1:00:51

have no idea how to tell you something. I mean, if you

1:00:53

have enough money and your studio believes in something and they, you

1:00:55

know, the right people in your ear, they'll put their money behind

1:00:57

ridiculous movies like that. I'd walk, I think, should be up for

1:00:59

a few things, but I don't think it will be because I

1:01:02

think that they're looking ahead. I

1:01:05

put my foot in my mouth a little bit a couple

1:01:07

of weeks ago when a friend who actually was

1:01:10

at the party at the same time as you... A friend

1:01:12

of whose? A friend of ours who was at our party

1:01:14

at the same time as you. Should he be yours? It's

1:01:17

a friend of Christian's. Okay, I was going to say,

1:01:19

your story started off without any credibility. This friend... Stretch

1:01:22

is the imagination. It's

1:01:24

very busy this time of year because this

1:01:27

friend is... This

1:01:29

friend's job is... To make it.

1:01:32

To the four-year consideration for

1:01:34

that studio. Right. And

1:01:36

that studio happens to... Well,

1:01:38

anyway, I knew it was because of the video. And

1:01:41

I said to this friend, making conversation, we're hanging out, and I

1:01:43

was like, hey, what movies do you got

1:01:45

to the year off, pop it up for awards? What

1:01:47

are you getting out there? What are you trying to

1:01:49

get awards for? And this friend says,

1:01:51

oh, excuse me. Yeah, excuse

1:01:54

me. As this friend starts to describe

1:01:56

Oscar-made movie number one, I'm like, all

1:01:58

right, I ought to see that Oscar-made

1:02:00

movie. number two. Yeah, yeah, it looks

1:02:02

interesting. I want to see that. And

1:02:04

they go, and also air. And

1:02:06

without, I don't know why, without thinking,

1:02:08

I said, yeah, go over that. Very

1:02:13

mean. Well, there's the bill I'm

1:02:15

going for. It's not like his choice or

1:02:17

anything. That's not a personal. That's true. There's

1:02:19

nothing to do with the making of the

1:02:21

film. It does go down very smooth. But

1:02:23

there- It is light as the F-form engineer.

1:02:26

It should not be given any awards.

1:02:28

No. No, it is light weight.

1:02:32

It is lightweight. Must find. I could

1:02:34

be here. It's named after. Okay.

1:02:36

All right. Speaking of, let's watch this. I'll do

1:02:38

this quick, all right? And then we'll get to

1:02:40

get to a very interesting, fun movement. I don't

1:02:42

know if fun's the right word, but we'll talk

1:02:44

about Ryan Regenball's assigned 1973 Donald Sutherland and Julie

1:02:47

Christie movie, Don't Look Now, in quotes for unknown

1:02:49

reasons. I'm still not sure why it's in quotes.

1:02:51

Why is Don't Look Now the title in quotes?

1:02:53

It won't show up that way on IMDb, but

1:02:55

it's that way on the poster and it's that

1:02:57

way when it pops up as the title card

1:02:59

in the movie. Don't Look Now, in quotes. Is

1:03:01

it a dumb title? I think it was something. Not a

1:03:03

great title. I had to look

1:03:05

it up a few times to remember what it was. But we'll be talking

1:03:07

about Don't Look Now in a few

1:03:09

moments right after I talk a little bit

1:03:12

about Maestro. Okay. Sorry, because my wife

1:03:14

just texted me from the other room and said, when are the

1:03:16

kids ready? Or when are

1:03:18

you ready for the kids? When was it, till 20 minutes? I

1:03:21

don't understand. She is baby-reading Esther

1:03:23

Well. Really?

1:03:26

They're easy. They're easy. Right? Sure. Okay. They

1:03:28

told her like 15, 20. They might

1:03:30

be hungry. Well tell them to eat. They

1:03:33

gotta come in here. I'm also hungry. Ah,

1:03:35

Jesus. Gotta have some cookies. Oh,

1:03:37

but I can. Pause me. I can.

1:03:40

All right. So let's talk a little Maestro. Take a

1:03:42

thing in there. Hey, hey, right. I'm gonna change the

1:03:44

camera angle here so we can both maybe cuddle up.

1:03:46

Let's see. Hold on. Give me a second. I think

1:03:48

we tried this and it's a terrible idea. No, no.

1:03:51

Watch this. Watch this. Oh, look at. Beautiful. Beautiful. I

1:03:53

just moved Brian right out of frame there.

1:03:57

Very mean. Very hurtful. Okay. Maestro,

1:04:00

Maestro is a movie, oh Christ I

1:04:02

don't have my notes. Well, how does

1:04:05

it feel? I can do that,

1:04:07

I can do it easy. Written and directed,

1:04:10

starring one Bradley

1:04:12

Cooper. You know what, I'm

1:04:14

the follow along, correct you. Also

1:04:18

starring, oh Josh Singer also is one of

1:04:20

the accredited writers. Carrie Mulligan is

1:04:22

also in there as well as Matt Bomer. And

1:04:25

Sarah Silverman shows up as well as a

1:04:27

number of other people. It

1:04:30

is currently 7.1 on IMDB. You

1:04:35

skipped over like nine people. Yeah, there's a bunch of

1:04:37

other people in there. And I said, I feel

1:04:39

like I covered all of them by saying there's a bunch of other people. This

1:04:43

is now streaming on

1:04:45

Netflix as you hear these words. Ah,

1:04:48

okay, where do I begin? Avery,

1:04:51

let me just start by asking you, did you

1:04:53

like Maestro? And Brian, I don't want to

1:04:55

leave you out, are you excited to watch Maestro? Right now,

1:04:57

Brian, before you've heard it, you are.

1:05:00

Out of the people I saw it with, I believe

1:05:02

I liked it the most. And

1:05:05

I think the best shot is

1:05:07

probably the first shot of the film. I thought

1:05:10

that was probably the most creative shot. There

1:05:12

are a lot of creative shots, the duality of that, where you're

1:05:14

not quite sure what you're looking at. I'm

1:05:16

drawing a blank on that. It looks like you're not

1:05:18

sure if the first shot is a theater with a

1:05:20

curtain strong? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Or a department. That

1:05:23

was a great shot. That was a great shot. And then when I was

1:05:25

there for the first 30 seconds, I'm like, that's a theater. And

1:05:28

then I think I had to be cued with the

1:05:30

movement in the bed. Yeah. But yeah,

1:05:32

that was a brilliant shot. Great shot. I

1:05:34

wonder if that was something that came, if

1:05:36

they storyboarded that or if they found it

1:05:38

and they're like, we can do this. Because

1:05:40

that was a great shot. You're right. And

1:05:44

it's kind of down the line from there. It

1:05:46

kind of can't live up to that. Now,

1:05:48

there's a lot of great filmmaking

1:05:50

in here. And Bradley Cooper is a

1:05:53

very, very skilled filmmaker, which

1:05:55

no one saw coming before a star is born, I don't

1:05:57

think. I do not anticipate him to be. so

1:06:00

adept behind the camera. Some of the sets

1:06:02

that were built for this, some of the

1:06:04

trick camera work that they did with the

1:06:06

overhead shots that would transition

1:06:08

into the next scene was really

1:06:11

skillful. And the performances he gets.

1:06:14

Performances, this is one

1:06:17

of those ultimate four-year consideration movies

1:06:19

where it's obvious that they're

1:06:21

swinging for the Oscar fences in

1:06:24

every scene. They're trying to hit a grand slam. That's not

1:06:26

just a home run. They're trying to hit a grand slam.

1:06:29

It feels like that's the motivation. It's the

1:06:31

one on base. That one on four runs.

1:06:33

Yeah. I feel like that's his motivation for

1:06:35

his co-stars, particularly Carrie Mulligan. It's

1:06:38

almost palpable. I feel like his motivation, just because I've

1:06:40

heard him talk about it too, and his love and

1:06:42

his adoration for Lenny, that

1:06:45

he's trying to bring Lenny back to life because he

1:06:47

loves this man so much and his story.

1:06:50

But I definitely get the sense that this is just for

1:06:52

your consideration, for your consideration. 100%. Is

1:06:55

this for awards? And

1:06:57

it's one of those movies that frustrates

1:06:59

me because Lenny Bernstein's sign is known

1:07:01

for being an incredible conductor. And I

1:07:03

feel like we got a little taste

1:07:06

of that. But the vast majority of

1:07:08

this movie is not about that. They're

1:07:10

a tragic and somewhat mundane life. And

1:07:13

I hate to say mundane. The trailer

1:07:15

is all very complex. Very little of

1:07:17

that. And what happens is when you

1:07:19

get so deep in the weeds on

1:07:21

someone, as Bradley Cooper did

1:07:23

with Leonard Bernstein, he knows

1:07:25

so much about him. It's

1:07:28

the nooks and the crannies and the small little details

1:07:30

that you really get drawn into. And

1:07:33

I think I would have

1:07:35

preferred this to be a much more

1:07:38

– not a people pleaser, but you could

1:07:40

make a people pleaser out of Leonard Bernstein's

1:07:42

– Yes. And I know I'm sounding like

1:07:44

a total simpleton saying these things, but

1:07:46

this is how I interpret. I do not need

1:07:48

to watch the love triangles that occurred over and

1:07:50

over. I do not need to see him dealing

1:07:53

with his very ill wife for long

1:07:55

stretches. I did not care about the

1:07:57

characters at all. And watching this –

1:08:00

suffering go on did not move me at all I'm just like

1:08:02

there's some really good acting going on it's shot well and I

1:08:04

don't give a fuck how much longer that's most

1:08:06

of this movie for me interesting because it is

1:08:08

to your point it is fascinating

1:08:11

the brief moments he does talk about

1:08:13

his process like the TV interview it's

1:08:15

very interesting I don't know the difference

1:08:18

between composing and conducting was fantastic I

1:08:20

wanted more of what made Lenny a

1:08:23

household name at that it needed more tar

1:08:25

it did in terms of the nitty-gritty and

1:08:27

the meat potatoes brick-and-mortar just actually actual doing

1:08:29

of the job it's like well just so

1:08:31

many movies like this like Walk the Line

1:08:33

Napoleon which just came out this year like

1:08:35

yeah the weakest parts are the personal I

1:08:37

keep people don't know Leonard Bernstein

1:08:40

because he had a you know he

1:08:42

was bisexual and had a wife

1:08:44

who died tragically early from cancer like

1:08:46

that's not why he's famous show us

1:08:48

why he's a remarkable man there are

1:08:50

scenes or some remarkable scenes of the

1:08:53

Bradley giving scene is phenomenal Bradley

1:08:56

clear are you not Thanksgiving I

1:08:59

don't even remember that scene that him and Carey

1:09:01

Mulligan arguing oh yeah there's a lot of arguing

1:09:03

going on you like that this with the with

1:09:05

the floats going by I think

1:09:07

this movie really lives and dies on how much

1:09:10

you like what Bradley Cooper is

1:09:12

doing and I think if

1:09:14

you don't really buy into what he's doing or give

1:09:16

a shit you're not gonna care about a lot of

1:09:18

this movie and I really I found him very charming

1:09:21

and engaging and I really enjoyed any moment he was

1:09:23

on screen I was in for all

1:09:25

those scenes and their relationships in a way that I

1:09:27

wasn't for Napoleon that was my issue was I don't

1:09:29

give a fuck about Josephine and Joaquin

1:09:32

I don't buy the chemistry I don't understand why

1:09:34

these people like each other but I was in

1:09:36

for maestro I don't know everything you just said

1:09:38

about Napoleon I had more of a problem with

1:09:40

with my really and I didn't understand why I

1:09:43

didn't really get their connection I didn't

1:09:45

see the chemistry between them I

1:09:47

mean he's polyamorous pretty much throughout

1:09:49

the entire life and he's

1:09:51

just you know whoever he wants to hook up

1:09:53

with because he's got that kind of pull and

1:09:55

respect and love and he's in those circles where

1:09:58

that he can get that and I

1:10:00

I just, I didn't care watching this man kind

1:10:03

of not be able to say his

1:10:05

sexual appetite and then

1:10:08

tragically heard, you know, falling ill. It's just like, why

1:10:10

am I going through like these

1:10:12

paces? I don't, yeah, I don't. And

1:10:14

I've, I've since this movie happened and at

1:10:16

the end they show me the real Leonard

1:10:18

Bernstein. I'm not a giant, I don't know

1:10:20

a whole lot about the man before my time. I know his

1:10:22

works and whatnot, but I've, you know, it's not like he was

1:10:25

on TV all the time growing up. But

1:10:27

I've, you know, seen pictures of him, like a

1:10:29

Leonard Bernstein is everywhere right now. And like, I'm

1:10:31

doing double takes. Like, is that Bradley Cooper? Like

1:10:33

the makeup is phenomenal. This will definitely be up

1:10:35

for best makeup. So that's another point. Did you find

1:10:37

it distracting? Cause that was an issue. My

1:10:40

friend that I saw, Benny Safdie a few times. I

1:10:43

thought the older he got, the better the makeup was. It

1:10:45

kind of took me out of it when he's young Bernstein

1:10:49

and it looks, feels very fake. But I

1:10:51

thought the makeup when he's older is unbelievable.

1:10:54

I thought it was all pretty good, but

1:10:56

you can always see Bradley Cooper's face in

1:10:58

there. He didn't quite meld into the role.

1:11:00

Like say Daniel Day Lewis is capable. I

1:11:02

don't know what the facial structure, the

1:11:05

eyes maybe. I don't know, but I

1:11:07

just never really, I never forgot that I was watching

1:11:09

Bradley Cooper. Not to say that he didn't do a

1:11:11

phenomenal job. The voice was so

1:11:13

the voice that at times it sounded like he

1:11:16

was on a caricature almost to me, but I

1:11:18

mean, I'm nipping. He was a talented voiceover guy.

1:11:20

Very talented voiceover guy. But

1:11:22

this movie just did not, did not capture

1:11:24

me at all. The

1:11:27

first, what about 30, 40, when

1:11:29

it's in black and white is quite fun. Yeah,

1:11:32

it's very snappy and poppy and engaging. That's

1:11:34

deliberate too, where it starts in black and

1:11:36

white and then goes into color. And it

1:11:38

hits all those beats too. And it is

1:11:40

with the color coming from the more recent

1:11:42

stuff. But it hits all the beats you

1:11:44

would imagine like if you were watching some

1:11:47

kind of a story like behind the music.

1:11:50

It's the same old tragic story of

1:11:52

like starts off like with like

1:11:54

Wonka, like, you know, he's gonna take the

1:11:56

world by storm and I can open up

1:11:58

with him getting his first big break. And

1:12:01

he's all very optimistic and in creating

1:12:03

and then you know he ends up

1:12:05

You know he gets in his own

1:12:07

way and tries to indulge too much

1:12:09

and ultimately drinks too much There's never a

1:12:11

scene where he's not smoking a cigarette. I think there's one scene where

1:12:13

he doesn't have a cigarette in his mouth I

1:12:16

guess you know that's that's accurate, but let's love that Ultimately

1:12:19

and and it's fuck his boy toy does

1:12:21

I didn't give a shit not at all

1:12:23

to be way more Charismatic and engaging and

1:12:25

attractive I didn't that took me out of it

1:12:27

so hard The little scenes were like they're

1:12:29

watching one of it You know his musical performances I

1:12:31

mean musical pieces that he put together that he was

1:12:33

very proud of and he's holding the his

1:12:36

new lovers hand and she's jealous I'm like I

1:12:38

don't care. I don't care Show

1:12:40

me come him composing a lot of that is

1:12:42

he's he sucked. I know well I

1:12:45

mean I get why I was like oh, I get it I

1:12:48

want to hold that guy's or that guy was

1:12:50

more compelling that that guy brought

1:12:52

nothing to the role And

1:12:54

he goes to the dance with her he goes

1:12:56

dancing with later remember the student that was uncomfortable

1:12:58

that student was much It's

1:13:01

all sweaty yeah Top

1:13:04

five sweaty scenes, but there was one there's one

1:13:06

very very good scene in this where it was

1:13:08

very heartbreaking And I had to do with him

1:13:10

talking to his daughter about you know who he

1:13:12

really is or he's yeah I would and that

1:13:14

was heartbreaking For sure, but

1:13:17

ultimately this this movie does met me left me feeling

1:13:19

very like I'm very happy It's over, and I don't

1:13:21

have to go back to it Interesting I enjoyed it

1:13:23

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and

1:13:26

it's one of those where I can't even fully articulate

1:13:28

why I Liked it. I feel like

1:13:30

I don't know much about him as a musician You're

1:13:34

not gonna have to go back to until life like last

1:13:36

week Two

1:13:38

weeks for that because your gallivant. Yeah, I

1:13:40

think I just liked I liked watching Bradley

1:13:42

Cooper be charming I enjoyed his character. I

1:13:44

enjoyed him watching him interact with people and

1:13:46

schmooze and No question for you

1:13:48

for two hours and nine minutes kind of He

1:13:53

looks like Bennett a little bit to more than Burnside

1:13:55

a few times didn't your bag is it just a

1:13:59

Tony Bennett I I guess that was just what

1:14:01

Oh, yeah, musicians look like at the time, right? It

1:14:03

could be a little Barry Manilow Yeah, I'll kind of

1:14:06

look the same right little Tom

1:14:08

Jones. Yeah Hey,

1:14:11

no related to nothing. Is this a

1:14:13

good movie to Washington plane? If

1:14:16

you're trying to fall asleep, yeah, I mean you

1:14:18

I would say normally it's a seat in theaters,

1:14:21

but you can't really Oh, it's

1:14:23

going theaters, right? Yeah, but

1:14:25

it's it's difficult to Wide

1:14:27

is it now it's like that's what I was

1:14:29

gonna say Yeah,

1:14:32

I think it would be I think

1:14:34

it'd be fine on the plane I mean it is

1:14:36

shot the way this shot is very it's

1:14:39

very well done. It's very beautiful And I think

1:14:42

it might rob a little of that on the

1:14:44

screen But I I can tell you

1:14:46

I make it harder to stay interested honestly if you don't have

1:14:48

the sweeping Sweet picture. I

1:14:50

think so. Yeah, I think honestly

1:14:52

I was more much more much

1:14:55

more invested in zone of interest

1:14:58

Much more invested in like what's where's this going?

1:15:00

What's happening next to with these? I

1:15:02

get paying attention to characters stuff Like I just I

1:15:04

just got I just had enough of these both

1:15:06

of these characters half with the movie I'm I don't I don't I'm

1:15:09

not I have no skin in this game. I

1:15:12

don't care. I I thought Mulligan was phenomenal She's

1:15:14

always great. She was unbelievable. Yeah, she's fantastic IV

1:15:16

shots. She does not win, but oh,

1:15:18

yeah I don't think she wins. You know that

1:15:20

she wins now really. Yeah, I don't think so

1:15:22

They there's some great performances this year. I

1:15:25

thought she was remarkable I think that

1:15:27

the female leads are like real real

1:15:29

competitors. Yeah, I could really She's

1:15:32

a lead probably go lead. Yeah And

1:15:35

I thought I enjoyed Sarah Silverman. Did you guess

1:15:37

Sarah was a transformative like she's such a saucy

1:15:39

woman She reminded me of Joan Rivers a little

1:15:42

bit. She was great I want to do like

1:15:44

a bio of Joan Rivers huge fucking crush. Yeah,

1:15:46

I need I needed more Sarah Yeah, I could

1:15:48

use more Sarah could use some more of the

1:15:51

the subplots and the other character Who is more

1:15:53

the daughter? It was just him and

1:15:55

like a fling and then she would come back in that

1:15:57

we've seen it a thousand times I don't care Yeah,

1:16:00

you're right. The biggest thing is if there was more

1:16:02

of that scene where he's talking about his process, that

1:16:04

would have been fascinating. Or just even the conducting. When

1:16:06

he is conducting, there's like a seven minute scene where

1:16:08

he's conducting his balls off. And you're

1:16:10

thinking, is this really how this guy conducted? And then

1:16:12

at the end you see that he was that animated

1:16:14

and he was that sweaty and got

1:16:17

that into it. And when he takes over for the

1:16:19

student at the end, it's very interesting to hear. Really

1:16:21

interesting. Yeah, you buy him as Bernstein

1:16:23

in those scenes, but when he's laying in bed

1:16:25

with his sick wife for like 10 minutes, that

1:16:28

could be any story. I don't care about that. There's probably

1:16:30

what, 12 minutes

1:16:32

of him doing his craft? Maybe

1:16:35

12, 15 minutes at the end of the two hours? It's

1:16:37

just him living his life, drinking. Kind of

1:16:39

half in secret, smoking and drinking and upsetting

1:16:41

his wife with his appetite. And holding hands.

1:16:44

Do you think he holds more hands or

1:16:46

makes more music? I think that

1:16:49

all you've got to do is hold it up to a

1:16:51

star is born. And it's like a star is born. I

1:16:55

felt what it was like to be her, to

1:16:57

be swept off my feet by this larger than

1:16:59

life character. I fucking love that movie. This

1:17:01

movie is just, it's obviously he's obsessed with

1:17:03

Leonard Bernstein. And I think he made the

1:17:05

movie he wanted to make. It just wasn't

1:17:07

for me at all. Sure. We're

1:17:09

the talk about this now, but we have another movie

1:17:12

to talk about. Oh, don't look down. Don't

1:17:14

look down, but we've got another movie to talk about. We sure

1:17:16

do. Don't rush through this.

1:17:19

Our kids are fine. Want me to go check? No, they don't want

1:17:22

you. No, no. Don't

1:17:24

Look Now is a 1973 film directed by. Thank

1:17:29

you, Avery, for. Nicholas Rogue. Enjoyable. Glad you

1:17:31

enjoyed that. Nicholas Rogue is

1:17:33

the director of Don't Look Now. He's

1:17:35

also the director of Walkabout, which is

1:17:38

a very strange Australian film,

1:17:40

which 1971 is when it came out. And

1:17:43

that's a movie that will stick with you if you

1:17:45

ever see that Walkabout. A couple of kids get left

1:17:47

by their parents early on. What

1:17:49

was then called an average man shows them

1:17:52

the outback. Oh, yeah. The original

1:17:54

anymore. I know. I said

1:17:56

back then. I'm saying that's not no longer

1:17:58

help for no more. I

1:18:00

am aware, but that's what

1:18:02

he was in the movie. That's what

1:18:04

he was. Dolan now is a two-hander,

1:18:06

starring Delos Sutherland and Julie Christie. This

1:18:10

is 93%. Gotta

1:18:15

scroll, cause I never write this down. You're

1:18:19

okay buddy, what's going on? Want me to

1:18:21

help you? Ninety. What are you looking at?

1:18:23

Rotten Tomatoes for this? Oh yeah, nevermind. It's

1:18:25

still like 94. What

1:18:27

year? You

1:18:30

can ask me, I know stuff. I already said that.

1:18:32

I wasn't listening to you. I don't know, I realize that

1:18:34

now. I

1:18:36

got no dukes. You

1:18:38

got no notes. I don't know. No

1:18:40

dukes, you did a little talking goat. You see Leo?

1:18:43

Crick go thinking, what? You see Leo

1:18:45

with Sandler and Bill Burr? The

1:18:48

lizard movie? No. No, oh no,

1:18:50

I heard it's all right. Yeah, it's okay. All

1:18:52

right, so back to, don't look now, thanks for Ryan

1:18:54

Reginald Ball. This is a movie of

1:18:56

1973, like we were said, I think,

1:18:58

and it's a very, like you just take a look at a

1:19:00

few of the frames. You're like, oh, that's like an early 1970s

1:19:02

movie. Just

1:19:05

with the tire, with the

1:19:07

vibe, and the subject matter, which was like

1:19:09

all a cult back then. And the pacing.

1:19:12

And the pacing. The pacing is very 1970.

1:19:14

It's deliberate, it's slow, but it works. I

1:19:16

wasn't like going, oh my God, where's this

1:19:18

movie going? Maybe some stuff

1:19:20

would have been scaled back and cut down a

1:19:23

little bit in today's, with today's audience, like there's

1:19:25

some scenes where he's chasing, for example, he's chasing

1:19:28

this little girl on a red hood. And it might

1:19:30

have gone on for a few more, too many edits

1:19:32

where he's like, we get it. He's chasing this girl,

1:19:34

like how many more edits do we need to see?

1:19:36

You were in love with the access to an extent,

1:19:38

because this is Benis Italy, or Venizia,

1:19:40

as they call it over there. I

1:19:43

always think about you. You

1:19:45

had a very funny observation when I got back from

1:19:47

Italy, like Florence or Pharenzia,

1:19:49

as they call it. Are

1:19:51

we not smart enough to call it Pharenzia? Like, why do we

1:19:53

call it Florence? Why do we change all the names of so

1:19:55

many things? I think I got to the bottom of it for

1:19:57

a second, but I was drinking and I forget what it was.

1:19:59

But I, has to do with the Anglo language or

1:20:01

Saxon language or I got them sounding even danglo

1:20:03

sax. I think it had to do with like

1:20:05

maybe Latin and if it's, I forget, but we

1:20:07

should, we should just call it whatever like the

1:20:10

people call it. Venizio. You're from where? Okay, that's

1:20:12

what I'm gonna call your country or

1:20:14

your city, right? I agree. We

1:20:16

even change names. It's like, all right, my name is

1:20:18

gonna be different over there, cause right. What the fuck?

1:20:20

I should have been more. All right, so yeah. But

1:20:23

Venice is like character in itself. It is character. Like

1:20:25

one of my only notes in this movie is lots

1:20:27

of wandering around Venice. And I think you're absolutely right.

1:20:30

They did War and Love with the Axis and I

1:20:32

think they were going out of their way to show

1:20:34

that Venice isn't what we think of it as, at

1:20:36

least in this movie. It's not like the glamour and

1:20:38

the ritz and the glitz and the tourists. It's like

1:20:40

there's a lot of dark seedy back

1:20:43

alley and dirt and water,

1:20:45

which is not a good place for a

1:20:47

couple to go after they lose their daughter

1:20:49

to drowning. Yeah, they are immersed in water

1:20:51

almost after. Within the opening

1:20:53

scene, they tragically lose a child to

1:20:56

a river accent. The inciting incident is

1:20:58

the opening scene that Brian just talked

1:21:00

about. And it's very 70s and it's

1:21:02

like, hey man. It's just like. I

1:21:05

thought it was a dream. It's like.

1:21:08

Yeah, it's kind of felt like a dream. Like hey,

1:21:10

it's just a couple, they're in love. He's like half

1:21:12

naked doing it. You know, his artsy photography stuff. And

1:21:14

she was painting or something, right? Something, yeah. And

1:21:16

their kids are out in the backyard playing by

1:21:19

a pond. Right, just having a

1:21:21

good old time. Yeah, they're like five and six, maybe

1:21:23

seven years old. Just running around a pond and they're

1:21:25

just like being fucking adults, cause that's what adults do.

1:21:27

Especially back then, they're like, what feels good, whatever feels

1:21:29

good. Like the son character was a minor character. Very

1:21:32

minor, yeah, he just immediately, they lose the kids and

1:21:34

they're like, all right, let's ship the other one off.

1:21:36

Yeah, that's right. What the fuck? It's

1:21:38

two or none. They did two things that just make

1:21:40

no sense at all. Okay, we lost our daughter tragically

1:21:42

to drowning. We'll never get past this. Let's move to

1:21:44

like the most watery city in the world. Right, Atlantis

1:21:46

is the only city in the world. We can only

1:21:49

get around. And that's like,

1:21:51

boats is the only way you can get around.

1:21:53

So we'll constantly be reminded of her death. And

1:21:55

then like our surviving child, now we

1:21:57

have an only child. We should put all our love into this child. No.

1:22:00

get them the fuck out, born in school with that

1:22:02

kid. Just get them, and then he gets horribly maimed

1:22:04

and hurt and he's like, yeah, you go check it

1:22:06

out on a mind. I don't even have a

1:22:08

time to go. All right,

1:22:10

so opening scene, she drowns. It was enjoyable.

1:22:12

We see that she's going to drown early

1:22:14

on because of some occult, some supernatural stuff

1:22:16

going on, right? So I'll drink spills

1:22:19

and he's a photographer and we see one

1:22:21

of his photographs, which is on a light

1:22:24

mat and the water goes into it and

1:22:26

it starts to smear the

1:22:29

colors. It creates quite the effect. We

1:22:31

realize, oh no, it's all, Oh

1:22:34

no. The harbinger is a set, oh

1:22:36

no. Daddy, what's happening to the

1:22:38

little girl in the red? Why is there a picture of her?

1:22:40

So then, like we said, the couple,

1:22:42

Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland in their

1:22:44

70sness go to Venice, where

1:22:46

they do a lot of wandering around

1:22:49

and they continue their crafts. I also

1:22:51

imagine this movie hit harder in 1973

1:22:54

because I would call it a

1:22:56

bit heavy-handed by today's standards. It's a movie about

1:22:58

grief. And in talking to Ryan about it today,

1:23:00

I think there's a lot of interesting

1:23:03

symbolism and things that we can't talk

1:23:05

about without spoiling. But I

1:23:07

think just from losing, this might sound

1:23:09

silly, comparing a child to a dog,

1:23:11

but I lost my little dog, Sydney, almost

1:23:14

exactly a year ago. And

1:23:16

I think ultimately this movie is about

1:23:20

not letting the loss of a

1:23:23

loved one or a loved pet,

1:23:25

in my case, and this is

1:23:27

something that actually happened with Sydney, I was really

1:23:29

worried at the time, and that every time I

1:23:31

thought of my dog, I would think about the

1:23:33

horrific end, because she drowned, and finding

1:23:35

her. And she had such- Oh no, that's a movie.

1:23:38

She had 12 years that she gave us, and she

1:23:40

was such a sweet, kind little dog, 12 years. And

1:23:42

I was afraid, and still am to an

1:23:44

extent, that every time I think about Sydney, the first thought

1:23:47

I'm gonna have is how I found her. And

1:23:51

I think ultimately that's what this movie

1:23:53

is saying. Don't let the

1:23:55

grim end ruin everything

1:23:57

else. Yeah, you had six good years with the

1:23:59

girl. Yeah. Maybe, I mean, don't let

1:24:01

it, like, Sir Colic, there's a lot

1:24:03

of good, live the life. Yeah,

1:24:06

good five and a half years. Because the end of this

1:24:08

movie, Avery, without giving anything away, is the one thing that

1:24:10

will definitely stick with you forever. Because

1:24:13

there is some meandering, and you get to see a whole

1:24:15

lot of Venice, which is cool.

1:24:17

You get to walk Venice in real time. Ultimately,

1:24:20

the end of this movie, Cheaper Than Go, is

1:24:23

at a left field, you don't see it coming,

1:24:25

and it's right up there with Sleepaway Camp. I

1:24:27

mean, it's one of those things like, what the

1:24:29

fuck? Like Easy Rider. What am I looking at? Yeah,

1:24:31

it's almost as jarring as the guy with the boil,

1:24:34

the goiter, and Easy Rider. It's

1:24:38

not a cheap thrill, it's actually a good

1:24:40

twist, but it is, you don't see it

1:24:42

coming. You don't see it coming. And

1:24:45

then, we didn't even talk about, there's a blind woman

1:24:47

and her old friend, who are constantly wandering around Venice

1:24:49

as well, and she sees

1:24:51

the future by squeezing

1:24:53

her breasts, evidently. That was a

1:24:55

cool scene. You don't see one like that. She's

1:24:58

an old woman, blind, right? Cloudy

1:25:02

eyes. And

1:25:04

she's probably in her late, mid-60s. Back

1:25:07

then, she's probably mid-30s. Everyone looks old. She

1:25:09

just turned 40. And she's

1:25:12

like, having a premonition, and she's just like, she's

1:25:14

getting off, meeting her boobs. It

1:25:17

was awesome. And moaning. It was really

1:25:19

great, yeah. But a lot of foreshadowing, a lot of like, oh fuck, what's going

1:25:21

to happen here? The movie is

1:25:23

much more creepy than just scary. Yeah. I

1:25:26

see you, Reed. It felt very influenced by

1:25:28

The Exorcist, but that movie came out

1:25:30

the same year, so I don't think, unless the two

1:25:32

filmmakers, William

1:25:34

Friedkin and Rogue, were talking, who knows?

1:25:36

But it is a movie of its

1:25:39

time. This felt more Rosemary's Baby, I

1:25:41

lost it. Rosemary's Baby is another good

1:25:43

comp, yeah. But don't look now. I

1:25:46

liked it. I'm not saying I loved it. That

1:25:48

ending will stick with me forever. And

1:25:51

ultimately, it's just about grief, and how you deal with

1:25:53

grief, and how you overcome grief, and I would suggest

1:25:55

not going to Venice and trying to forget that you

1:25:57

have children, because that's not the best.

1:26:00

Especially in the case of drowning. Yes. That's

1:26:03

a real double whammy. Trying

1:26:05

to find Atlas. Not Atlas, but Atlantis. The rest

1:26:07

of your life would be the only thing worse

1:26:09

than going to Venice, I would think, right?

1:26:11

I'm just going to be a scuba diver. Yeah, I'm going to live in

1:26:13

a submarine. I'm going to try and live in one of those, like, houses

1:26:16

in Fiji with a glass floor. Yeah, with a glass floor, yeah,

1:26:18

those little huts that are over the water. Water huts. Or

1:26:21

like the one that's submerged where you're living

1:26:23

in a high old dome. What are you

1:26:25

doing going to Venice? I was on a

1:26:28

cruise for a year. That's a cruise

1:26:30

ship. They do have those. I guess

1:26:32

the seniors are doing it because it's cheaper than living

1:26:34

on the morning stuff. They feed you all

1:26:36

day and you're just going to cruise for a full year and it's cheap

1:26:38

living. You see the world? Are

1:26:41

you telling me this or was it somewhere else where they just seem

1:26:43

miserable? I would think you'd be

1:26:45

miserable. Every single day you walk out of your room,

1:26:47

they're like, would you like to upgrade your drinks? It's

1:26:50

like, no, dude, get the fuck out of my face. I'm not

1:26:52

up. Stop selling me. For a year. For a

1:26:54

year they just upsell you. Yeah. You do

1:26:56

like a sticker that says, residence. You do? You don't have to

1:26:58

do it alone. You have to see the same shitty stand up

1:27:00

for a year. Yeah, I know. Yeah. All

1:27:03

right. Hey. Good stuff.

1:27:06

Do you want to do a quick gambling so

1:27:08

you don't have to do it? Oh, I got

1:27:10

to sign too. I got to sign. Got to

1:27:12

do all the housekeeping. I do the gambling first. Well, the gambling

1:27:14

first. Last week we gambled on poor things. Fuck

1:27:19

did he? Yes. Anderson guessed 82.

1:27:22

That's criminal. Brian guessed 89. The

1:27:25

228 reviews. Actual run. Tomato score

1:27:27

is 93. Good for that movie. I was worried about it.

1:27:29

I'm I hope I like it. Which movie was it? Poor

1:27:32

Things. Poor

1:27:34

Things. Oh yeah. Ryan Regenbaugh. He assigned

1:27:36

us Paris, Texas, the silent partner, sorcerer

1:27:38

for you, Brian, and I got Drag

1:27:40

Me to Hell. And

1:27:42

then Stalker. No, I saw that. Yeah, I know. He's

1:27:45

a good guy. And then Stalker with the last one, which

1:27:47

was a very tough one. That was tough. Ryan, we'll never

1:27:49

forgive you for Stalker. All right. Poor

1:27:52

Things described as X-rated Barbie. And I got

1:27:54

to agree. Okay. Interesting.

1:27:56

Did she bud though? Because she bugs in the

1:27:58

trailer. No. It looks like everything she's

1:28:01

doing she thinks is hilarious and everyone around her on set thinks

1:28:03

is hilarious You know, it's one of those is too hammed up.

1:28:05

It's interesting. I so I didn't see any of the trailer so

1:28:08

within the first 15 minutes, I

1:28:10

knew nothing that going on things now I could

1:28:12

have uh, I If I had

1:28:14

gone alone, I might have walked out. Okay.

1:28:16

All right, very very hard to access the first

1:28:19

15 to 20 once mark ruffler shows up Things

1:28:22

good to know this week. We're gambling

1:28:24

on the previously discussed unless you want

1:28:26

to pick something else maestro. Oh No,

1:28:29

if Anderson is the leg up or if we want there's a bunch of stuff

1:28:33

How we how we gambling on this is just

1:28:35

coming out didn't it? It's been out for like

1:28:37

two weeks in theaters. We do the iron claw then

1:28:39

instead. No, no We

1:28:44

got to do a movie that's like do I know

1:28:47

you have more Ferrari we've

1:28:49

got iron claw. We've got Ferrari. We also have

1:28:51

a Ferrari. We want to get one aqua man

1:29:17

1:29:19

how I have I have

1:29:21

ideas with the 86 Reviews

1:29:24

for the for Ferrari Currently

1:29:27

sitting at oh

1:29:29

I lost it. Oh 73 73

1:29:34

yeah, you should feel good because it's probably gonna stick

1:29:37

with 70 70 Michael up ten

1:29:39

points, but for let's see iron claw to

1:29:41

the iron claw All

1:29:43

right. I have two assignments Brian. All right. Can you

1:29:45

do two? Okay, you got two weeks. Maybe we'll see

1:29:48

Oh iron claw do we want to do a quick guess for nothing?

1:29:51

I'm gonna go low like 60 Oh,

1:29:53

I go at

1:29:55

least 80. There's a hundred fourteen reviews

1:29:57

89 Oh It

1:30:00

looks off. No, it does not look good. It does. Every time I

1:30:02

see the trailer, I'm like, wait a minute, why did I ever think

1:30:04

this looks good? No, I thought it was good. It looks very

1:30:06

paint by numbers. All right, we'll see. All right, Nick

1:30:09

Eats Cake has assigned us the worst ones. The

1:30:12

worst ones. It's a 2023 release. We'll be

1:30:14

watching the worst ones for Nick Eats Cake.

1:30:17

And for Andrew Martin,

1:30:21

we'll be watching Stray Dogs.

1:30:24

Worst ones and Stray Dogs. Horacawa, Stray Dog. Worst

1:30:26

ones and Stray Dogs. And we might get to

1:30:28

both of those on the next episode. You're with

1:30:31

me or we might stretch it out over a

1:30:33

couple. We'll see. I know you're going to

1:30:35

be gallivanting. I don't want to give you too much homework.

1:30:38

Worst ones from 2022, I assume. Yes,

1:30:41

I think it was a 2023 US release. And he's

1:30:43

gone to great lengths. I'm sorry, Nick. I don't have

1:30:46

the email in front of me. I'll forward it to

1:30:48

Brian. But if you're listening to this and you're planning

1:30:50

on watching, you're planning on watching the worst ones,

1:30:52

Nick Eats Cake, he loves his movie

1:30:54

and he does not want anyone watching

1:30:56

on a prime because the subtitles, I

1:30:58

guess, drift and they fall up towards

1:31:00

five, six seconds. Nick Eats Cake has

1:31:02

sent emails to Amazon trying

1:31:04

to get them to fix this. They have not. Let

1:31:07

me see if I can pull up what he suggests real

1:31:09

quick as we're wrapping this up. Stray Dogs. Nick.

1:31:12

Isn't that a carousel? Oh, is

1:31:15

it a remake? Yes, see the original. So

1:31:18

tell me when the results from. I

1:31:25

thought it was 64 a couple weeks ago, too. And

1:31:27

I was wrong. Then I do why he says do

1:31:29

not watch on Amazon or Kino film collection. This

1:31:31

is an app extension through Amazon. However,

1:31:34

do watch it on any of the other

1:31:36

platforms. This is all from Nick Eats Cake

1:31:38

talking about the worst ones. You can watch

1:31:40

it on Apple, Google Play, Voodoo, YouTube, Kino

1:31:42

Now, which is a version

1:31:44

of Kino that is not Amazon extension or

1:31:47

Hoopla. Wow. But the picture quality is not

1:31:49

HD on Hoopla. Nick Eats Cake watches

1:31:51

other people's movies and pays attention to them like Kubrick

1:31:53

did his own movie

1:31:56

he likes. All right. I'm in. Thanks, Nick.

1:31:58

I'm going to watch Rebel Moon. Sex

1:32:02

Nighters, Netflix. Yeah,

1:32:05

I'm done with Netflix movies unless it's something

1:32:07

I have to watch like Maestro. Wait, you

1:32:09

know what I'm talking about? One of my

1:32:11

favorite movies of the year is the Netflix

1:32:13

movie. Ah, Christ. Kids

1:32:16

coming in next, stick around. They killed

1:32:19

Tyrone. Oh, yeah? It's

1:32:21

not the only couple of

1:32:25

movies to watch. Hey,

1:32:32

guys. Brian, you want to

1:32:34

join me? Yeah. Do you

1:32:36

understand how a really good idea was

1:32:38

just you a little disclaimer before this

1:32:41

section of the show? Yeah, I thought

1:32:44

you were going to give me the business and say I had a

1:32:46

good idea to have the kids on again. We had an idea. You

1:32:48

had a brilliant idea. To have them on

1:32:50

once a year. And I still like that idea. However... I

1:32:52

like it in principle. In principle, it's

1:32:54

a great idea. When they were on a year and

1:32:56

a half ago, it wasn't a great show. We know

1:32:59

that. We're not blind to our children's imperfections.

1:33:03

But we just ended the recording and somehow they've regressed

1:33:05

and maybe because they're more comfortable with each other. You

1:33:07

know what I really... Yeah, I think it's that. You

1:33:09

know what I realize now? The

1:33:12

fact that we invited them into our workspace and

1:33:14

they're like, oh, cool. We get to

1:33:16

be like our daddy does the show. Last year we were

1:33:18

on the couch. Last year we were

1:33:20

on the outside. Are you sure? For sure.

1:33:22

100%. Well, either way. Either

1:33:24

way. But I mean, you think they have more

1:33:27

reverence in the workspace, right? Rather than like a

1:33:29

common area. Oh, you know what? They're the live

1:33:31

show. We're on the couch. I think the problem

1:33:33

is they just spent an hour and a half

1:33:35

kind of cooped up eating sugar and getting comfortable

1:33:38

with each other. So I think when we had

1:33:40

them on the first time, they were

1:33:42

a little bit still uncomfortable with each other and they didn't want to

1:33:44

go too over the top. What you're

1:33:46

about to hear is awful. It's good. It's

1:33:48

a kick off in it. It's

1:33:51

unlistenable. I was annoyed

1:33:53

with Atticus and I was

1:33:55

giving Tessa a hard line of questions. You

1:33:59

do hear a lot of Brian. Ryan and Tessa

1:34:01

throughout, and it's bugging me at one point because

1:34:03

I could tell Tessa's imitating something that I'm familiar

1:34:05

with, and it turns out it's

1:34:07

Muffin. She was handing it out. Muffin being

1:34:09

angry, granny, and bluey, which I think when

1:34:12

you have that context that you at least

1:34:14

you understand who she's impersonating throughout most of

1:34:16

it. But yeah guys, feel

1:34:18

free to turn this off, right around. There's

1:34:21

no compelling reason left. No value. You

1:34:23

don't learn anything about film. There isn't

1:34:25

even anything that's funny. You better get

1:34:27

a dumber. Oh, the kids are adorable.

1:34:29

No. Maybe you can

1:34:31

see them on video, but I think just their voices, it's

1:34:33

contraception. Do yourselves a

1:34:35

favor. Go download or

1:34:38

stream the YouTube video. Yeah,

1:34:41

maybe that'll save it, but even that, you'll just see how annoyed

1:34:44

I was. That's true. Oh my God,

1:34:46

1:39:32

Atticus earlier today. Let's see how this goes. This is

1:39:34

a true story. I think I'm going to tell a clip. I don't think I

1:39:36

have to ask. Make it quick. Make it

1:39:38

quick. All right. Driving back from the

1:39:40

zoo with Atticus when

1:39:43

he was still a very little guy. Yeah. And

1:39:46

I was in the carpool lane. There was a lot of traffic. And

1:39:49

I look in my rearview mirror, and there was a cop

1:39:51

with his lights on. Oh, no. And

1:39:53

he's pulling me over. And I pull off to the

1:39:55

side of the road. The cop gets out. Says, license

1:39:57

registration. You know why I'm pulling you over today, sir?

1:39:59

I actually have no idea and

1:40:01

he goes well you're driving the carpool lane And

1:40:04

you're by yourself, and I said please take a look

1:40:06

at my backseat, and he looked in the backseat He's

1:40:08

a Atticus Who

1:40:11

was very small and he goes ah

1:40:13

you got a kid back there, and

1:40:16

then he walked all slumped He walked away.

1:40:18

I don't even think he's like about devastated

1:40:21

Atticus what's your reaction to that? I

1:40:23

think he should get him $1

1:40:26

but she says So

1:40:28

Atticus when I told him the story he's like oh, that's so

1:40:30

sad. I'm like sad for who he's like for the cop Oh,

1:40:32

1:40:34

at least a dollar. I'm like no I

1:40:36

should not have yeah, you should have that

1:40:38

you know what that means Our

1:40:41

antler from the car. Oh yeah, I

1:40:43

was on the and he tried to put it on

1:40:45

their um on Their

1:40:48

motorcycles that's right what so

1:40:50

we had antlers This is a couple of

1:40:52

Christmases ago And the window rolled down and

1:40:54

of course the antler fell and the time

1:40:56

we realized that we had to turn back

1:40:59

and the officer Who was there directing traffic

1:41:01

had picked it up and placed it upon

1:41:03

this that's white privilege, right? Then

1:41:06

we turned around and got it back. That's right.

1:41:08

We did I think you'll bench.
