Introduction and Oscar Reactions
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Paddington Gone Wild, the internet's only Oscar reaction show, and the only show that promises to be shorter than Adrian Brody's best actor acceptance speech.
00:00:10
Speaker
Correct.
00:00:12
Speaker
And we will say surprisingly less profound things.
00:00:15
Speaker
It's true.
00:00:16
Speaker
It's very difficult.
00:00:17
Speaker
I don't know how it's possible.
00:00:19
Speaker
Hey, guys.
00:00:22
Speaker
Well, we need to stop hate and bad things.
00:00:30
Speaker
And I won the award.
00:00:32
Speaker
And we got to stop the war.
00:00:36
Speaker
Everywhere.
Oscars Party and Spicy Food Humor
00:00:37
Speaker
I do love that through his first half, you were like, oh, all right.
00:00:43
Speaker
Like, this is going somewhere.
00:00:44
Speaker
And then when they started playing him off, and then he dropped the bar of like, listen, I've been here before.
00:00:49
Speaker
Please.
00:00:49
Speaker
That was cool.
00:00:50
Speaker
That was cool.
00:00:50
Speaker
You just got to have the cojones to back that one up.
00:00:53
Speaker
And then his second half was just abysmal.
00:00:55
Speaker
The longest one in history.
00:00:58
Speaker
It's the longest one in history.
00:01:00
Speaker
Which is crazy.
00:01:02
Speaker
Zach can't hear.
00:01:04
Speaker
We're going to figure out Zach's internet problems.
00:01:06
Speaker
Zach's going to leave and join and we'll see what happens.
00:01:10
Speaker
While Zach is figuring stuff out, Red, how's your butthole, bud?
00:01:14
Speaker
You know, it's been better.
00:01:15
Speaker
Fair enough.
00:01:19
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:01:20
Speaker
Last night, went to Austin and Clarissa's wonderful home and had an excellent Oscars party with lots and lots and lots of goodies.
00:01:28
Speaker
I had a few beverages, came home.
00:01:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:32
Speaker
made some dinner and at about 4 a.m.
00:01:37
Speaker
my body said it was time yeah i feel that man yeah i made red curry coconut hot wings holy shit dude that'll that goes right through you yeah it'll cut through the mess i'll tell you that much they were fire they were very good they call that the colon broom
00:01:58
Speaker
I thought that's what they called an aura.
00:02:00
Speaker
Oh, thank you.
00:02:01
Speaker
Nice.
00:02:01
Speaker
Well done.
00:02:02
Speaker
Well done.
00:02:04
Speaker
Get it?
00:02:04
Speaker
Because it's swept.
00:02:06
Speaker
I call that.
00:02:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's my favorite colonic.
00:02:11
Speaker
It does kind of sound like an over-the-counter drug.
00:02:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:15
Speaker
Try an aura.
00:02:16
Speaker
Side effects include diarrhea.
00:02:19
Speaker
Small risk of death.
00:02:21
Speaker
If there was a stripper in an aura named Sky Rizzy, I would not be shocked.
00:02:25
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:26
Speaker
There's also a medication for... Please welcome to this stage, Ozempic.
00:02:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:30
Speaker
There's a medication that's similar to Ozempic that's for pre-diabetic people that's called Wagovy.
00:02:35
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:02:35
Speaker
I've seen Wagovy.
Themed Restaurants and Family Anecdotes
00:02:37
Speaker
W-E-G-O-V-Y.
00:02:37
Speaker
Have you guys seen the ads for the discount Ozempic?
00:02:42
Speaker
That's like, can't afford Ozempic?
00:02:44
Speaker
Try this.
00:02:44
Speaker
Oh, I have.
00:02:45
Speaker
It's basically the same thing.
00:02:47
Speaker
I get served those mostly when watching anything on Tubi.
00:02:50
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:52
Speaker
Because if you want to see the dregs of internet advertising, get on Tubi.
00:02:58
Speaker
One of the hosts of Doughboys is on Leo's epic alternative.
00:03:02
Speaker
Zetbound, that's what it is.
00:03:04
Speaker
Zetbound.
00:03:06
Speaker
Perfect name.
00:03:08
Speaker
I didn't find it on the internet.
00:03:09
Speaker
It just came to me.
00:03:12
Speaker
You just got struck with the Zep bound.
00:03:15
Speaker
It does sound like a lightning strike.
00:03:17
Speaker
I mean, pretty much is.
00:03:19
Speaker
Or you're heading to Zep.
00:03:22
Speaker
Zep is bound for Zep.
00:03:24
Speaker
Yeah, Zep is like a Hooters type restaurant.
00:03:28
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:03:29
Speaker
That's cool.
00:03:30
Speaker
Which, by the way, rip going out of business.
00:03:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:33
Speaker
RIP to Hooters, man.
00:03:35
Speaker
I learned just the other day of a restaurant.
00:03:39
Speaker
I believe it's just here in Texas.
00:03:41
Speaker
It is a similar booby chain in the vein of Twin Peaks or Zep or Hooters called Ojos Locos.
00:03:52
Speaker
But from what I have learned through some cursory internet research, which sounds way worse than I intended it to, is that these young ladies wear far less clothing, which I didn't think was possible.
00:04:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:06
Speaker
I mean, Hooters is pretty tame, relatively.
00:04:10
Speaker
Just like booty shorts.
00:04:11
Speaker
Relative to what?
00:04:12
Speaker
Like porn?
00:04:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:16
Speaker
You know, relative to a strip club.
00:04:19
Speaker
Like Hooters is no strip club.
00:04:21
Speaker
It's not a strip club.
00:04:21
Speaker
That's correct.
00:04:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:04:23
Speaker
It's a fine establishment with chicken wings.
00:04:26
Speaker
Matty's...
00:04:29
Speaker
Maddie's grandma would order the Hooters wings to go because she liked the wings so much.
00:04:34
Speaker
Yo, the moment I knew my father was going through a midlife crisis when he was in his mid fifties was, uh, he was like, let's go to the Harley store.
00:04:42
Speaker
And we went to the Harley Davidson store.
00:04:45
Speaker
Do you want to go to Hooters?
00:04:46
Speaker
I was like, the fuck is going on?
00:04:49
Speaker
What the hell is that?
00:04:50
Speaker
My conservative ass dad wants to go to the Harley store and then go to Hooters.
00:04:55
Speaker
I have to see if a young lady will still flirt with me.
00:04:57
Speaker
Yeah, honestly.
00:05:00
Speaker
Believe me, shout out to my dad, but no young ladies have been flirting with him for a long time.
00:05:04
Speaker
They're also always next door to each other.
00:05:07
Speaker
Well, it's clientele.
00:05:09
Speaker
There's a pretty big Venn diagram.
00:05:12
Speaker
Yeah, there's a lot of overlap on the Venn diagram.
00:05:14
Speaker
Target rich environment.
00:05:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:18
Speaker
I've never been to a Hooters or a Twin Peaks or any of these restaurants or restaurants as my girlfriend just told me.
00:05:28
Speaker
Which I think is an excellent name.
00:05:30
Speaker
I've never been to any of these places, but about an hour north of my hometown is the closest Harley store.
00:05:38
Speaker
And there was always a seafood place that we would go and eat at after going to the Harley store.
00:05:42
Speaker
My dad was a Harley guy for a long time.
00:05:45
Speaker
And always like it would be Harley store.
00:05:50
Speaker
Then there was a road.
00:05:51
Speaker
And then on the other side of the road, there was Hooters and then this seafood place.
00:05:55
Speaker
And every time you start to pull into the parking lot and you're like, is this going to be the day?
00:06:01
Speaker
Am I going to get to see a bunch of teams?
00:06:02
Speaker
Are you going to go right instead of left?
00:06:04
Speaker
And I don't get, and my mom can not judge me.
00:06:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:08
Speaker
No one has to look at my search history.
00:06:12
Speaker
No one was under the table.
00:06:14
Speaker
The John Mulaney McDonald's bit.
00:06:18
Speaker
One black coffee.
00:06:20
Speaker
My dad pulled into Hooters, ordered one plate of wings, and we left without going in once.
00:06:27
Speaker
What if Hooters had a drive-thru?
00:06:28
Speaker
Did y'all watch Landman at all?
00:06:30
Speaker
No.
00:06:31
Speaker
I watched the first five episodes.
00:06:34
Speaker
It's really revisible and terrible, but...
00:06:36
Speaker
I found it enjoyable.
00:06:38
Speaker
But there's basically like all the dudes when they're headed out to the rigs at like 4 a.m.
00:06:43
Speaker
There's one coffee shop open and it's like a little trailer in the middle of a parking lot.
00:06:50
Speaker
And it's just Hooters but for coffee.
00:06:53
Speaker
Oh, yeah, I've seen those.
00:06:55
Speaker
You may have seen me.
00:06:56
Speaker
Bikini coffee trucks or whatever.
00:06:59
Speaker
And literally like lines like two miles long from all these dudes who are going out to the oil rigs, which are those are American heroes.
Social Media Experiences and TikTok
00:07:08
Speaker
Are the kid who showed up to one of those restaurants with his dick out.
00:07:14
Speaker
The young lady who was working the drive through realized that he had his dick out and then he drove into an adjacent parking lot and killed himself.
00:07:21
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
00:07:24
Speaker
What a way to go out.
00:07:27
Speaker
I know Joe's not really on Twitter these days and I know Austin, you don't spend as much time there as I do.
00:07:32
Speaker
I saw one too many swastikas on Twitter.
00:07:34
Speaker
I had to get off.
00:07:35
Speaker
That's why I said it on.
00:07:39
Speaker
I check threads if there's info I want.
00:07:41
Speaker
This is my impression of Twitter.
00:07:43
Speaker
I hate threads, but...
00:07:44
Speaker
Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.
00:07:46
Speaker
Elon's the best Nazi film Twitter joke.
00:07:49
Speaker
Here's my impression of blue sky.
00:07:51
Speaker
If we vote, we can get Donald Trump out of office.
00:07:57
Speaker
Yeah, both pretty terrible.
00:07:59
Speaker
And my impression of TikTok is good video, good video.
00:08:03
Speaker
Welcome to the TikTok shop.
00:08:04
Speaker
Today we're selling fucking bullshit t-shirts that are poorly made.
00:08:11
Speaker
I don't know.
00:08:11
Speaker
It sounds right.
00:08:12
Speaker
I'm also not on TikTok.
00:08:14
Speaker
Clarissa, her little sister, and my best friend from childhood, Jacqueline, send me TikToks daily.
00:08:20
Speaker
And I very rarely go through them unless they text them to me because I'm not checking TikTok.
00:08:25
Speaker
And I just like, at this point, I kind of want to get into it and like develop my algorithm and let it learn my preferences.
00:08:32
Speaker
It's nasty, man.
00:08:32
Speaker
It's evil.
00:08:33
Speaker
I do think I would really enjoy it.
00:08:35
Speaker
But also, again, it's the thing I always say of like, do I need another addiction?
00:08:38
Speaker
I'm already trying to rid myself.
00:08:40
Speaker
The infinite scroll is the problem because there's so much content.
00:08:44
Speaker
So here's the thing.
00:08:45
Speaker
This is why I got off TikTok.
00:08:46
Speaker
I'm actually back on, but not to watch, but to post again because I miss posting.
00:08:51
Speaker
Nice.
00:08:51
Speaker
Joe is an excellent poster on TikTok.
00:08:53
Speaker
Thank you, thank you.
00:08:54
Speaker
At Lil Birkenstocks.
00:08:56
Speaker
Yeah, at Lil Birkenstocks on Twitter or on TikTok if you're nasty.
00:09:01
Speaker
But...
00:09:03
Speaker
The thing that it figured out about me was that if it showed me like a random like hick who just figured out how to use TikTok and is just posting videos of him like punching trees or my favorite one was Christian Weightlifters.
00:09:19
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:09:20
Speaker
Especially the dudes who are like.
00:09:23
Speaker
And I don't want to body shame.
00:09:25
Speaker
I'm not, you know, I'm body positivity.
00:09:27
Speaker
All bodies are beautiful.
00:09:29
Speaker
I would describe these men as concerningly obese.
00:09:31
Speaker
I thought you were going to call them fat fucks.
00:09:34
Speaker
Yeah, well, no, it's just that, you know, I do.
00:09:38
Speaker
You know, when you see a fat guy sometimes and you feel sad.
00:09:42
Speaker
Yeah, sure.
00:09:43
Speaker
Like that kind of fan guy.
00:09:46
Speaker
Like your life is probably difficult.
00:09:47
Speaker
Yes.
00:09:51
Speaker
I mean, I thought the movie was good.
00:09:53
Speaker
I just don't think all the land should have won best pitch.
00:09:56
Speaker
I mean, it's good.
00:09:57
Speaker
I just didn't expect it to be Chinese.
00:10:04
Speaker
Welcome back, Zach.
00:10:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's working now.
00:10:06
Speaker
Zach, we've really delved into TikTok algorithms.
00:10:11
Speaker
You didn't miss much.
00:10:13
Speaker
I just described Christian Waitley.
00:10:14
Speaker
Fuck me.
00:10:15
Speaker
I don't think I've gone on TikTok in this year of our Lord.
00:10:20
Speaker
Hey, good for you, buddy.
00:10:21
Speaker
I wish I could say the same.
00:10:24
Speaker
I told them I only go on when people send me messages, which is just Clarissa, my best friend of childhood and Clarissa's sister.
00:10:29
Speaker
That's those three people.
00:10:31
Speaker
The greatest era of TikTok for me was roughly 18 months ago when Zach and I were at the height of TikTok setting each other TikToks and probably every third video would be like a two minute compilation of dash cam footage.
00:10:46
Speaker
Oh my god, the dashcams on TikTok are gnarly.
00:10:49
Speaker
You get those Russian dashcams and it's just like a full-on brutal murder that they caught on camera.
00:10:55
Speaker
I've watched so many people die in car wrecks on TikTok.
00:10:58
Speaker
Dude, there was a whole cartel talk rabbit hole for a while.
00:11:02
Speaker
I love the cartel.
00:11:03
Speaker
I remember seeing... Can I say a very pretentious thing?
00:11:07
Speaker
I remember reading a New York Times article about cartel talk.
00:11:11
Speaker
Reading the Times is like semi pretentious.
00:11:13
Speaker
If you'd have been like, oh, dude, I read something in the New Yorker about that.
00:11:16
Speaker
To be like, I'm not on TikTok, but I read about TikTok in the New York Times is really.
00:11:22
Speaker
That's just your grandma.
00:11:24
Speaker
The other the other reason I got off Twitter was because I saw several like body cam shots of people dying in Ukraine.
00:11:34
Speaker
And I was just like, I can't.
00:11:36
Speaker
I mean, good for them.
00:11:37
Speaker
They killed those Russian guys.
00:11:39
Speaker
But, like, I can't really see a head pop like a watermelon and be okay afterwards.
00:11:44
Speaker
Like, that's a day ruiner.
00:11:45
Speaker
Absolutely.
00:11:46
Speaker
I also had a period where just on TikTok, I was getting served like straight up war footage of Ukrainian soldiers.
00:11:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:53
Speaker
And I've seen a lot of videos of Ukrainian dudes firing rocket propelled grenades at Russians.
00:12:00
Speaker
Like, we're a group of guys that likes violent movies.
00:12:04
Speaker
There is such a vast gulf between any kind of movie violence and that kind of shit.
00:12:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:09
Speaker
It's just like you see a man's soul leave his body and it's a little bit different.
00:12:12
Speaker
You literally watch it happen.
00:12:14
Speaker
Describing it that way is like, ugh.
00:12:17
Speaker
Well, here's the problem is that in the movies, they fall in a way that's cinematic.
00:12:21
Speaker
People who get shot for real fall different, and it's really upsetting.
00:12:25
Speaker
It's like Jack Nicholson that departed.
00:12:27
Speaker
I was about to say, he fell funny.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:30
Speaker
Except for that when I saw it, I had to turn off Twitter and kind of go just sit in my room.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:36
Speaker
Unlike Frank Costello.
00:12:38
Speaker
You know, Jack Nicholson stars in a Best Picture winner.
00:12:41
Speaker
It's called The Departed.
00:12:42
Speaker
Oh, there we go.
00:12:42
Speaker
Speaking of Best Picture winners.
00:12:44
Speaker
And speaking of Best Picture winners, last night, Sean Baker, Neon's Honora, uh,
00:12:50
Speaker
kind of whipped ass well also speaking of best picture winners that have a prominent use of a slur yeah record it broke the wolf of wall street's record right mostly i was talking about i was talking about the f slur but the f word is also pretty crazy the conan one of my favorite jokes was conan saying it beat the record uh said by joker folly or that would he'll give that to one of the firemen right
00:13:13
Speaker
No, he said the joke was that it had one less fuck than was said by Carla Gascon's publicist.
00:13:21
Speaker
Oh, publicist.
00:13:22
Speaker
Then there was another one later about people who lost their homes because they produced Joker Folly Do.
00:13:27
Speaker
Yes.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:28
Speaker
Mixed up.
00:13:30
Speaker
So last night was the 97th.
00:13:34
Speaker
academy awards um and we've already made reference to it but conan o'brien was the host and it was a blast it was great to see conan on that big of a stage it was so nice yeah it's nice to see someone up there who actually cares yeah someone who actually cares about movies whereas kimmel's like hey wasn't the brutalist long
Oscars Fashion and Conan's Hosting
00:13:55
Speaker
yeah yeah
00:13:58
Speaker
Yeah, like somebody who's genuinely excited to be there, had a lot of fun, very, like, so clearly in the lineage of Crystal.
00:14:07
Speaker
I mean, enough that they brought Crystal and Meg Ryan out to present.
00:14:11
Speaker
Did they do Best Picture?
00:14:13
Speaker
They did Best Picture.
00:14:14
Speaker
Best Picture.
00:14:14
Speaker
Best Picture.
00:14:15
Speaker
Yeah, Tarantino did Best Director.
00:14:17
Speaker
Also, Conan, also another plus to Kimmel, as far as I know, hasn't done blackface.
00:14:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah, we don't know though.
00:14:25
Speaker
We don't know he was no recorded from Boston
00:14:34
Speaker
There's definitely some photos tucked away in some Harvard Social Club book of a young kid from Cambridge.
00:14:42
Speaker
Yeah, he was in the Lampoon in the late 70s or early 80s.
00:14:47
Speaker
He was smart enough to burn the pictures.
00:14:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:14:51
Speaker
Kimmel is on public record.
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah, bad news.
00:14:55
Speaker
Him and Downey Jr.
00:14:57
Speaker
Another man we saw last night looking hot, hot, hot.
00:15:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:01
Speaker
What the fuck shoes was he wearing?
00:15:03
Speaker
I loved the shoes and the pants.
00:15:05
Speaker
Wearing damn potatoes on his feet.
00:15:09
Speaker
His stylist really does like to do the big, chunky shoe.
00:15:12
Speaker
I believe in his best supporting acceptance speech, I believe he also was wearing a similarly very, very chunky kind of boot thing.
00:15:22
Speaker
Did you see John Waters in the pink Rick boots?
00:15:24
Speaker
Hamill was wearing some lifts.
00:15:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:28
Speaker
I love it from last night.
00:15:31
Speaker
Oh, I liked Timmy's butter suit.
00:15:34
Speaker
I did, too.
00:15:35
Speaker
I did.
00:15:36
Speaker
On the broadcast.
00:15:37
Speaker
But John Chu kind of.
00:15:40
Speaker
No, he was.
00:15:41
Speaker
He was he was dressed.
00:15:43
Speaker
Chu gets a fit off.
00:15:45
Speaker
So I couldn't tell on the broadcast, but then I saw some photos later.
00:15:48
Speaker
I think the butter suit might have been leather.
00:15:50
Speaker
He's been really loving a leather suit lately, and I think it worked better.
00:15:55
Speaker
for like, I think a sag fit works better from a leather suit perspective.
00:16:00
Speaker
Sag fit was better.
00:16:01
Speaker
I saw it was also a reference to a Bob Dylan outfit.
00:16:04
Speaker
Well, I saw on Instagram today that his suit looked a lot like a suit that De Niro wore in Casino.
00:16:10
Speaker
Oh, yeah.
00:16:11
Speaker
I know this thing you're talking about.
00:16:13
Speaker
It could have also been another reference.
00:16:15
Speaker
Another homage.
00:16:16
Speaker
I thought, I mean, my favorite person to watch on stage, partially because I thought he looked nice, but was Daniel Bloomberg.
00:16:25
Speaker
Because I was just like, this fucker is a psycho.
00:16:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:29
Speaker
I was so happy he was up there.
00:16:30
Speaker
And then Killian.
00:16:31
Speaker
I thought Killian dressed really well.
00:16:32
Speaker
Did y'all see that one picture of him?
00:16:35
Speaker
Yeah, dude.
00:16:37
Speaker
Like backstage.
00:16:37
Speaker
You know what I'm talking about?
00:16:38
Speaker
Sunglasses on in the chair, the black and white.
00:16:40
Speaker
Fuck yeah.
00:16:42
Speaker
That was insane.
00:16:42
Speaker
Getting to fit off.
00:16:44
Speaker
I really love Conan's second suit, too.
00:16:46
Speaker
Yeah, me too.
00:16:46
Speaker
I was a big fan of Jeremy Strong's suit, too.
00:16:51
Speaker
I like that fucking tie thing he was wearing.
00:16:54
Speaker
I need Kieran.
00:16:55
Speaker
I know the bracelets are like his kids made him cute.
00:16:57
Speaker
I need him to stop.
00:16:59
Speaker
Dude, even like my dad who like my dad who wears like Costco jeans and like
00:17:06
Speaker
dad sandals like when conan came out in the blue tux was like that's a really nice tuxedo he's bashing conan can dress yeah i was shocked he didn't come out wearing like his leather like trucker jacket that he yeah or that that denim jacket he wears everywhere everywhere
00:17:24
Speaker
I want to shout out Elle Fanning.
00:17:26
Speaker
Can we fucking get her in a Grace Kelly-esque Hitchcock-type role?
00:17:33
Speaker
That would be nice.
00:17:34
Speaker
She looked very classically beautiful.
00:17:37
Speaker
Big fan of that thing that she was wearing.
00:17:39
Speaker
Did we have any favorite presenters, like presenting pairs that we thought did a great job?
00:17:43
Speaker
I actually thought, I really liked Mick Jagger last night.
00:17:47
Speaker
Mick Jagger was great.
00:17:48
Speaker
I was a big fan of Polar.
00:17:49
Speaker
She fucking killed it.
00:17:50
Speaker
Polar crushed.
00:17:51
Speaker
Polar crushed.
00:17:52
Speaker
She was fucking funniest.
00:17:53
Speaker
Fighting as a bitch was really good.
00:17:55
Speaker
I think it was Shakespeare who said, yeah.
00:17:58
Speaker
I just want to shout out, very briefly, a couple more outfits.
00:18:01
Speaker
He's a guy that everyone talks about, but Coleman Domingo, I think, looked excellent last night.
00:18:06
Speaker
He really does.
00:18:07
Speaker
I love that he rocks these huge lapels.
00:18:08
Speaker
We can't talk about Coleman without talking about Raul.
00:18:11
Speaker
Raul also got a fit off.
00:18:13
Speaker
Those are two just beautiful men who have excellent stylists.
00:18:16
Speaker
One that...
00:18:20
Speaker
I think looked excellent, but is very understated is I think Ray fines like the, the shape and drape of that tux he was wearing and the little detail of his tie was next fucking level, dude.
00:18:32
Speaker
He looked excellent.
00:18:34
Speaker
I like the Lips Gal, like his gray tux with his glasses.
00:18:38
Speaker
I thought that was quite nice.
00:18:40
Speaker
Bowen's suit did not fit him.
00:18:42
Speaker
Oh, Eisenberg.
00:18:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:18:45
Speaker
When he was like hugging, hearing like on the red carpet and stuff, like the buttons were
Controversial Films and Celebrity Gossip
00:18:51
Speaker
like.
00:18:51
Speaker
Yeah, it was all bunchy.
00:18:53
Speaker
Yeah, it wasn't great.
00:18:54
Speaker
He's a little nerdy.
00:18:56
Speaker
He very clearly like showed up and was like.
00:19:01
Speaker
Oh, I was like, he just showed up and was like, hey, here's, you know, $1,500.
00:19:04
Speaker
Go buy me three suits.
00:19:05
Speaker
You're going to like the way you look.
00:19:07
Speaker
Yeah, truly.
00:19:08
Speaker
Yeah, he's like, here's $1,500.
00:19:09
Speaker
Buy me three suits.
00:19:10
Speaker
Who cares?
00:19:11
Speaker
Chicken shop date thing that he did with Amelia.
00:19:13
Speaker
No, I did not.
00:19:14
Speaker
It's good.
00:19:15
Speaker
I liked it.
00:19:15
Speaker
It's very funny.
00:19:16
Speaker
Very charming.
00:19:17
Speaker
Very charming.
00:19:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:19
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:20
Speaker
I still think Eisenberg's greatest work is his little turn as a Grantland writer.
00:19:30
Speaker
Multiple time guest on the BS pod.
00:19:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:33
Speaker
RIP Grantland.
00:19:34
Speaker
I guess it is literally just the ringer.
00:19:36
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:37
Speaker
But the ringer doesn't have enough good writing.
00:19:42
Speaker
They have really flown with the times and then it's like outside of their oral histories or when Naaman does a guest spot is it's like the writing's kind of falling off.
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah, it's not their focus, you know.
00:19:55
Speaker
I love their personalities, so I enjoy their work.
00:20:01
Speaker
I really loved the June Squibbs-Garjo combo.
00:20:04
Speaker
Yes, very good.
00:20:05
Speaker
And the big thing that they did about, like, one of them is Andy Serkis and one of them is Bill Skarsgรฅrd, I thought was very funny.
00:20:12
Speaker
Also, even Conan leading in and referring to him as Juskwu and Scarjo was very good.
00:20:19
Speaker
And they were both of his hall passes.
00:20:21
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:24
Speaker
My favorite Conan joke of the night was also known as kilometer and kilometry.
00:20:29
Speaker
Miles Teller and Miley Cyrus.
00:20:32
Speaker
Because you can tell he even was like, oh, man, that's a joke for me.
00:20:39
Speaker
That's so up the street.
00:20:40
Speaker
It's insane.
00:20:41
Speaker
I...
00:20:42
Speaker
I mean, I have to shout out the, it's halftime, so it's time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.
00:20:49
Speaker
I saw a thing on Instagram today that was like, the writer who wrote that joke for him bet him $50 it would kill.
00:20:57
Speaker
Because I think Conan probably didn't want to do it, and the writer was like, no, no, no, please do it.
00:21:03
Speaker
If it kills, I will give you $50, because I know it will.
00:21:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:07
Speaker
And there's, of course, the only person to stand up to a Russian.
00:21:12
Speaker
Yeah, that was also really good.
00:21:13
Speaker
That was also quite good.
00:21:15
Speaker
It was good.
00:21:15
Speaker
Conan killed it.
00:21:16
Speaker
I think that's a lead-in to... So we've already made reference to the Enora sweep.
00:21:21
Speaker
We've made reference briefly to Mikey Madison taking home best actress.
00:21:25
Speaker
Oh, actually, that was a look I didn't love.
00:21:28
Speaker
I didn't love her gown, personally.
00:21:30
Speaker
I thought it was nice.
00:21:31
Speaker
It was fine.
00:21:32
Speaker
You made it clear you did not like it, though.
00:21:34
Speaker
Yeah, I did.
00:21:35
Speaker
Red was very loud in the chat and also in person.
00:21:39
Speaker
Just for me to reiterate.
00:21:40
Speaker
The funniest thing is that it's like, I actually think Mikey Madison is wonderful.
00:21:44
Speaker
I still have not seen Enora, but it will be fired up either tonight or tomorrow.
00:21:48
Speaker
And I know I'm going to love it.
00:21:50
Speaker
But as everyone probably knows from both this podcast and my everyday life, I was really pulling for Demi just because I fucking love the substance.
00:22:04
Speaker
It's pretty on the nose.
00:22:05
Speaker
People have talked about this, but it genuinely makes such a strong case for the substance and the fact that Mikey won.
00:22:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:14
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know.
00:22:16
Speaker
It was a coin flip for me on like a personal level.
00:22:19
Speaker
So I would have been happy either way.
00:22:21
Speaker
Yeah, I think she's amazing in that movie, you know, so it's like Clarice and I were talking about this last night.
00:22:27
Speaker
It's like, I hope she doesn't feel badly about beating Demi.
00:22:33
Speaker
You know, it's like because I think she will.
00:22:35
Speaker
I don't think she will either.
00:22:36
Speaker
But there is that thing of like, oh, this might be, you know, Demi's kind of swan song in terms of awards.
00:22:43
Speaker
We just don't know how we also go.
00:22:45
Speaker
I'm so sorry, Austin.
00:22:47
Speaker
No, it's okay.
00:22:47
Speaker
I was just going to say, it's so silly to pit these things against each other in the first place.
00:22:53
Speaker
We love it because it's a bunch of famous people doing bits.
00:22:56
Speaker
But existing on its own merits, I think it's a phenomenal performance.
00:23:02
Speaker
I was... It's a lot sillier and less condemning than the Stone win last year.
00:23:08
Speaker
Thank you, sir.
00:23:09
Speaker
I was actually feeling bad about winning.
00:23:11
Speaker
Stone, that was...
00:23:13
Speaker
It could be literally the next thing I brought up a stone immediately had this look in her eye of like, yeah, oh, God.
00:23:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:19
Speaker
But it's not her fault, which is it's not her fault.
00:23:21
Speaker
I mean, you can't you can't know what the like what is what voting is happening.
00:23:25
Speaker
And I think, frankly, Stone, like.
00:23:28
Speaker
really didn't seem to be last year, like running a campaign to like, can't wait to win.
00:23:33
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:34
Speaker
She's like, she's like a big dog producer now.
00:23:36
Speaker
She does not give a fuck.
00:23:37
Speaker
Like she's out here, like doing really excellent stuff.
00:23:40
Speaker
And like, she already got one and that La La Lin win, like they campaigned really hard for her.
00:23:45
Speaker
Yeah, can we talk about just like straight up Emma Stone and Margot Robbie are producing some of the best shit coming out of Hollywood right now?
00:23:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:23:54
Speaker
Emma Stone just seems awesome too.
00:23:56
Speaker
Who is it really recently that was saying like, that's the only person that still texts me earnestly.
00:24:02
Speaker
Jesse Eisenberg, I think, right?
00:24:03
Speaker
Yeah, I think it was.
00:24:04
Speaker
It was his screenplay win for A Real Pain.
00:24:08
Speaker
Because they worked together on Zombieland.
00:24:10
Speaker
It was such a fun, random project, but she's the one who earnestly will read my scripts or any thoughts and give me feedback and not just be like, good job, buddy.
00:24:21
Speaker
I mean, executive producer on a top five movie for most of us.
00:24:25
Speaker
Executive producer on TV Glow.
00:24:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:24:28
Speaker
She knows Ball.
00:24:30
Speaker
She knows Ball.
Social Media and AI Concerns
00:24:31
Speaker
She does.
00:24:31
Speaker
I'd be remiss about where she's going to work.
00:24:33
Speaker
Madison and...
00:24:39
Speaker
Demi were not my choice for who I thought should win.
00:24:44
Speaker
Yeah, but your choice was from the movie that none of us saw.
00:24:47
Speaker
I mean, you're a big Gascon head, so.
00:24:51
Speaker
No.
00:24:52
Speaker
I just think it was very interesting that the one time they nominated a trans woman, they barely show her at all.
00:24:59
Speaker
Ridiculous.
00:25:01
Speaker
But you really did.
00:25:02
Speaker
You thought the Fernanda Torres performance should have taken it.
00:25:08
Speaker
There's one particular scene in that movie that was like sold it for me.
00:25:12
Speaker
But top to bottom, it's an incredible film.
00:25:15
Speaker
That's like, yeah, she is the film.
00:25:18
Speaker
Yeah.
00:25:19
Speaker
Very excited to see it.
00:25:21
Speaker
Speaking of Gascon, I actually do think it is very, like, I think it's a very positive thing for society that we can all come together and acknowledge that Gascon is a trans woman, but also hate her for being a bigot.
00:25:37
Speaker
We weren't making fun of her for being trans.
00:25:39
Speaker
We were making fun of her for a piece of shit.
00:25:43
Speaker
Dude, I did not think she was there last night when Conan started on that joke.
00:25:47
Speaker
I didn't either.
00:25:48
Speaker
Do you think he did?
00:25:49
Speaker
No, he definitely did.
00:25:52
Speaker
Netflix footed the bill.
00:25:53
Speaker
There was a whole thing about it.
00:25:54
Speaker
Netflix paid for her to go.
00:25:55
Speaker
Because the Oscars said that they wouldn't do it?
00:25:58
Speaker
I guess.
00:25:59
Speaker
I don't know.
00:26:00
Speaker
Essentially, she would have to pay her own way as such an attendee.
00:26:04
Speaker
I think so.
00:26:05
Speaker
And there's also that thing they talked about on the big picture recap about like they didn't show like any clips for the leads.
00:26:14
Speaker
No, they didn't do cutaways.
00:26:15
Speaker
They didn't like when they were talking about the leads when Killian and Emma were talking about the leads.
00:26:20
Speaker
They didn't cut away because they didn't want to show her again.
00:26:22
Speaker
So they did it on the supportings.
00:26:24
Speaker
They would cut to the actors as the person was talking.
00:26:28
Speaker
And I was like, God.
00:26:29
Speaker
Speaking of cutaways, I'm so glad they didn't pan to Timmy.
00:26:33
Speaker
I know.
Oscar Snubs and Representation
00:26:34
Speaker
They panned to Demi a lot, though.
00:26:35
Speaker
Demi got a lot of FaceTime on.
00:26:38
Speaker
But that's the most, like... We talked about it, like... Austin and I talked about this in person a little bit.
00:26:44
Speaker
And this isn't really going to spoil the pod because it's very much like the way the Academy tends to do things is almost, like...
00:26:54
Speaker
the last couple of years, it has very clearly changed.
00:26:56
Speaker
And we've seen a lot of like, you know, Olivia Coleman only won five years ago and she won when she was in her early fifties.
00:27:03
Speaker
Um, but for, for decades, it was like the ingenue wins best actress and the old dog wins best actor.
00:27:12
Speaker
And we've seen a little bit of that start to change.
00:27:15
Speaker
And this year, the narrative really felt like Timmy was going to be the one to break the record for the youngest best actor winner, things like that.
00:27:23
Speaker
Um,
00:27:24
Speaker
And so it's a in many ways, it feels apt.
00:27:28
Speaker
And also, like, even as somebody who hasn't seen an aura, I fucking love Mikey Madison.
00:27:31
Speaker
I think she is so lovely.
00:27:33
Speaker
She's a really great actress.
00:27:35
Speaker
She's great in everything she does.
00:27:36
Speaker
And yeah, also the first movie that she didn't get set on fire in.
00:27:41
Speaker
It's true.
Cultural Influences of TV Shows
00:27:44
Speaker
I loved when Baker got best director and he got up there and said, like,
00:27:48
Speaker
Quentin, thank you.
00:27:49
Speaker
Like, if you hadn't put Mikey Madison once by a time in Hollywood, none of us would be here.
00:27:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:27:53
Speaker
And I was like, that's yeah, he's not wrong.
00:27:56
Speaker
I mean, 100 percent like she's as like she is such a standout from that film.
00:28:02
Speaker
I remember walking out of the theater and being like, yo, that chick that got set on fire before she got set on fire.
00:28:10
Speaker
She can boss me around.
00:28:11
Speaker
Yeah, she can boss me around.
00:28:14
Speaker
I'd let her call me man.
00:28:16
Speaker
Trying to show his violence on TV, man.
00:28:18
Speaker
I did see a really funny tweet where I think it was Disgusting Film was like Mikey Madison is officially the first Ghostface to ever win an Oscar.
00:28:27
Speaker
By the way, spoiler, I didn't see her fucking Scream movie.
00:28:31
Speaker
Somebody was like, spoiler, sorry, not all of us have time to catch up on the Scream films.
00:28:37
Speaker
Dog.
00:28:38
Speaker
Dog.
00:28:39
Speaker
That movie is like seven years old.
00:28:41
Speaker
Yeah, it was a while back.
00:28:43
Speaker
Wait, you're telling me Timothy Oliphant hasn't won an Oscar?
00:28:46
Speaker
He should.
00:28:47
Speaker
What's that about?
00:28:48
Speaker
He's going to win one for Havoc, baby.
00:28:50
Speaker
He's the Ghostface and Scream 2, right?
00:28:52
Speaker
The college one?
00:28:56
Speaker
No, it's the mom.
00:28:57
Speaker
I'm pretty sure.
00:29:00
Speaker
I thought the whole plot of Scream 2 was that it's essentially Psycho.
00:29:03
Speaker
He's the fake out.
00:29:04
Speaker
Yes.
00:29:06
Speaker
He's the fake out.
00:29:07
Speaker
That's what it is.
00:29:09
Speaker
I've only seen the first one, so I only know when it's the two gay guys.
00:29:16
Speaker
I know what you mean in that they are pretty queer coded, but it's just very funny to call them gay guys.
00:29:22
Speaker
What's that?
00:29:22
Speaker
Skeet Ulrich?
00:29:23
Speaker
Is that that guy's name?
00:29:25
Speaker
Yeah, and Lillard.
00:29:26
Speaker
And Matthew Lillard, yeah.
00:29:27
Speaker
Matthew Lillard should also have an Oscar.
00:29:29
Speaker
Can we get Lillard in something that isn't dog shit, please?
00:29:32
Speaker
Lillard should be in a Sean Baker movie.
00:29:33
Speaker
He would be great in a Sean Baker movie.
00:29:35
Speaker
He really would.
00:29:36
Speaker
Put him in Simon Rex as brothers.
00:29:39
Speaker
Yeah, I would watch that.
00:29:40
Speaker
Joseph?
00:29:42
Speaker
You took the words out of my mouth.
00:29:43
Speaker
I was like, dude, Lillard just looks like an older Simon Rex.
00:29:45
Speaker
I was like, yeah, we're cooking.
00:29:47
Speaker
I love following Simon Rex on Instagram because he's just always like, you know, check out this new skincare product I found.
00:29:55
Speaker
90% of his Instagram is just like, yo, I love Sean Baker.
00:29:58
Speaker
He's my boy.
00:29:59
Speaker
Also, I'm really into this new skincare line.
00:30:02
Speaker
I feel like Simon Rex is the most like, like if we're doing superlatives, the most likely celebrity to like show up in a Bowflex commercial.
00:30:12
Speaker
100% Simon Rex has like quietly been in some incredible roles that are just in really small indie movies he was in this movie called The Sweet East oh yeah I heard of that one Alex Ross Perry's cinematographer made that yeah and he plays a like really educated neo-nazi
00:30:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah, Iowa Debris is very good in this movie.
00:30:39
Speaker
So is Jacob Elordi.
00:30:41
Speaker
Yeah, I forgot Elordi was in it too.
00:30:42
Speaker
But yeah, Simon Rex, I don't know, he's so good in it.
00:30:47
Speaker
I highly recommend this movie.
00:30:48
Speaker
While we're talking about Red Rocket, should we talk about the Sean Baker of it all?
00:30:54
Speaker
Yeah, sure.
00:30:54
Speaker
What are you going to talk about?
00:30:55
Speaker
Big guy went from zero Oscars to four.
00:30:59
Speaker
I'm more talking about the piling on he's receiving from like your speculation.
00:31:06
Speaker
So like... I kind of don't want to touch this, but...
00:31:09
Speaker
Yeah, I figured someone wouldn't.
00:31:14
Speaker
I don't want to talk about the substance of it as much as like, I don't think a lot of people understand how some people interact with social media.
Film Discussions and Reviews
00:31:22
Speaker
I think I've missed this entirely.
00:31:25
Speaker
He follows some conservative Instagram accounts and pundits and then follows somebody like, this is like the thing, people just dig through your following tab and somebody found that he followed an account called IDF babes.
00:31:43
Speaker
which I bet you I have like nine personal friends who probably follow a stupid fucking account like that.
00:31:49
Speaker
As a guy who really can't wait for the next S. Craig Zoller movie, I don't give a shit.
00:31:57
Speaker
First of all,
00:31:59
Speaker
Even if he is conservative, Sean Baker is making the only movies that are empathetic towards sex workers right now.
00:32:04
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:32:06
Speaker
He's writing about people constantly on the edges of society.
00:32:10
Speaker
So why would it not make sense?
00:32:11
Speaker
It makes sense for him to want to engage.
00:32:14
Speaker
I'm just so tired of it, man.
00:32:16
Speaker
Just get over it.
00:32:17
Speaker
The reason I brought it up and hopefully to blunt what I knew would be despair for Red is like...
00:32:24
Speaker
So, like, people are trying to find a reason to, like, hate on the movie.
00:32:29
Speaker
But when I think about, like, the state of social media right now, I can, without saying his name, talk about a guy that we all know who I don't know if I've gone on Instagram and seen a post that he hasn't liked.
00:32:42
Speaker
And I've talked to him about it.
00:32:44
Speaker
And he's just like, yeah, dude, I just click everything that comes up.
00:32:48
Speaker
And so there's so many people who just interact with social media as an informational net.
00:32:54
Speaker
And not everything is an endorsement.
00:32:56
Speaker
Well, yeah.
00:32:57
Speaker
And I'm also a Gen Xer.
00:32:59
Speaker
Why are we concerned?
00:33:00
Speaker
I have massive social media fatigue of people just freaking out about things that don't exist.
00:33:08
Speaker
I'm very publicly leftist on this podcast in life and online, but I still follow random conservative people on Instagram because it's funny.
00:33:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:21
Speaker
Like, I still follow Dasha because she posts insane shit and I kind of want to know what she's up to.
00:33:26
Speaker
Yeah, I follow several people.
00:33:28
Speaker
I don't know how much of Sean Baker is interacting with social media in the same way.
00:33:32
Speaker
However, I do agree with you, Zach, that it's like, who the fuck cares?
00:33:37
Speaker
Yeah.
00:33:38
Speaker
Just follow him on Letterboxd.
00:33:39
Speaker
It's interesting.
00:33:40
Speaker
Yeah, he's got a great letterbox.
00:33:41
Speaker
He's always posting insanely weird shit that he's watching.
00:33:45
Speaker
I brought it up because a friend of Red and I texted us just saying like, oh damn, sucks that Baker's a Zionist.
00:33:55
Speaker
And my immediate reaction was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:33:58
Speaker
And so I just replied like, are you sure people aren't just saying stupid shit about things that aren't really happening?
00:34:04
Speaker
This is the same friend I had to straight up be like, hey, where'd you read that?
00:34:07
Speaker
And he's like, oh, I saw it on Twitter.
00:34:10
Speaker
And like couldn't provide me with a link to the tweet.
00:34:12
Speaker
And at this point, I'm just like, it's just in one ear and out the other.
00:34:14
Speaker
It's like, I don't give a fuck.
00:34:16
Speaker
Until you can provide me with like a genuine news source.
00:34:18
Speaker
I don't even care if it's fucking Fox News.
00:34:19
Speaker
Until you can provide me with a link that says something where I can look at a quote and fact check it myself.
00:34:24
Speaker
It's like, it's all, we're only like two steps away from our parents seeing like AI slop on Facebook and being like, oh my God.
00:34:33
Speaker
I don't think we're removed from that.
00:34:35
Speaker
No, that's happening now.
00:34:38
Speaker
Maddie got tricked the other day.
00:34:40
Speaker
Don't put your wife on blast like this, Joseph.
00:34:43
Speaker
Jesus Christ.
00:34:44
Speaker
She asked me, I forgot who the couple was.
00:34:47
Speaker
She's like, are they getting married?
00:34:48
Speaker
Are they pregnant?
00:34:48
Speaker
I went, what the fuck?
00:34:49
Speaker
No.
00:34:50
Speaker
And she told me the picture.
00:34:51
Speaker
I was like, Maddie, that's AI.
00:34:55
Speaker
I cannot believe she would do the same to me.
00:35:01
Speaker
She loves to dunk on my ass.
00:35:03
Speaker
Yeah, but most of the time when she dunks on your ass, it's like stuff that you would also dunk on your ass about.
00:35:11
Speaker
When she gets out of grad school, she's going to make so much more money than me.
00:35:14
Speaker
I feel like I'm just balancing the scales.
00:35:17
Speaker
Yeah, for sure.
00:35:18
Speaker
You've got to take her down a notch.
00:35:19
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, she can't get too big-headed.
00:35:21
Speaker
I couldn't tell if your door was already open or not, Joe, and I was really praying to God that Maddie was just standing in the doorway.
00:35:28
Speaker
She's right behind me, isn't she?
00:35:33
Speaker
So we've already talked about a little bit.
00:35:36
Speaker
For me, like, I wouldn't actually call it a snub and that Madison wins and Demi loses.
00:35:44
Speaker
But in terms of, do you guys feel like there was a major snub for you?
00:35:48
Speaker
You're really lagging.
00:35:51
Speaker
Oh, damn.
00:35:53
Speaker
My internet connection is unstable.
00:35:55
Speaker
What's really funny is when we listen back to this, you guys sound great.
00:36:00
Speaker
And then I'm going to sound great because it's recording from my computer.
00:36:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:04
Speaker
You guys are not going to hear me accurately.
00:36:06
Speaker
So this is just going to be a very odd audio experience.
00:36:10
Speaker
Some fun dead air that I won't edit out because I don't want to.
00:36:14
Speaker
Oh, we know.
00:36:17
Speaker
So did you guys feel like in terms of the actual nominees, because we already did like an Oscar snub episode.
00:36:23
Speaker
reacting to the nominations in terms of the five in each category or the 10 in the case of best picture.
00:36:30
Speaker
Did you feel like there were moments of which you were like, God damn it.
00:36:33
Speaker
I can't believe this didn't win.
00:36:38
Speaker
It was more pissed off that stuff did.
00:36:40
Speaker
Yeah, there was a lot of awards where I was like, you know, I would be fine with everything except for Amelia Perez winning this.
00:36:46
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:46
Speaker
I felt 100% the same way.
00:36:48
Speaker
And also a lot of Wicked awards were the same for me.
00:36:51
Speaker
Yeah, I was so reassured by the worst acceptance speech of the night being the Amelia Perez composers when they started singing.
00:36:57
Speaker
So fucking funny.
00:36:58
Speaker
One of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.
00:37:00
Speaker
That was the most French thing that has happened at the Oscars in a long time.
00:37:05
Speaker
I could hear Joe just like punching a wall in Tulsa all the way from down.
00:37:09
Speaker
here it was so i but yeah it was more like that and like i was happy you know even with the wicked stuff which i don't think deserved much but like paul taswell winning was a great moment yeah he's you know also his costume design in that movie was great yeah it's good it's not the problem with that movie i mean it's such it's beating a dead fucking horse but zoe saldaรฑa's only win that i was like actually rolling my eyes at yeah
00:37:34
Speaker
Yeah, it just felt like a sympathy win for like, we're sorry that you were in the movie that everyone hates now because of something that wasn't your fault.
00:37:42
Speaker
Well, and we gave it 13 noms.
00:37:44
Speaker
We got to give it something.
00:37:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:37:45
Speaker
You know, it's like it has to win something.
00:37:47
Speaker
And I love her.
00:37:49
Speaker
Yeah, I love her.
00:37:50
Speaker
I'm just going to forget that this is what she won an Oscar.
00:37:52
Speaker
I'm just going to pretend that she won it for playing Neytiri.
00:37:56
Speaker
Yeah, or for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
00:37:59
Speaker
She's good at those movies.
00:38:01
Speaker
Or Star Trek.
00:38:02
Speaker
It does kind of suck that right after having the award in her hand going out to the hallway and being like, yeah, sorry, I offended the Mexican people that didn't like my movie.
00:38:14
Speaker
Yeah, that was tough.
00:38:15
Speaker
I also didn't say one word about the trans community, which is clear.
00:38:20
Speaker
Neither of the award winners from Emilio Perez talked at all about the trans community.
00:38:23
Speaker
ODR doesn't give a fuck about trans people and has essentially like, I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
00:38:29
Speaker
Here's what was happening in his head when he was writing this movie.
00:38:32
Speaker
Or do you think that because they are changing, it is a metaphor for life.
00:38:40
Speaker
And I think would just make a she is a trans woman.
00:38:44
Speaker
And yeah, that's what we'll do.
00:38:47
Speaker
I want to listen to a clip of Jacques Godillard now just to compare notes.
00:38:52
Speaker
I guarantee you it's 97% accurate.
00:38:53
Speaker
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's pretty close.
00:38:56
Speaker
Speaking of Zoe Saldana, I rewatched Star Trek the other night, J.J.
00:38:59
Speaker
Abrams, the first one.
00:39:01
Speaker
Good movie.
00:39:02
Speaker
Great film.
00:39:04
Speaker
I loved it more this time.
00:39:05
Speaker
I watched it in a few years.
00:39:06
Speaker
I loved it more this time.
00:39:08
Speaker
When they first get on the Enterprise and Ahura comes on the bridge, she's not serving as the linguistics officer.
00:39:13
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:39:14
Speaker
And there's like a guy there and he can't get the Romulan dialects right.
00:39:18
Speaker
So she takes his place.
00:39:19
Speaker
The guy she takes the place of and cucks is Osgood Perkins.
00:39:23
Speaker
Oh, nice.
00:39:24
Speaker
Nice.
00:39:25
Speaker
I was like, Hey, there's Oz.
00:39:27
Speaker
I love seeing him in legally blonde every time I read.
00:39:29
Speaker
Yeah.
00:39:30
Speaker
It's so funny.
00:39:31
Speaker
It's like a two line little bit part.
00:39:34
Speaker
um and i was like hey man go go off oz you're doing your thing let me pitch you guys something i was thinking about earlier today speaking of star trek think about this star trek no star trek sexual enterprise uh-huh star trek sexual intercourse what about what about star trek enterprise rent a car
00:39:55
Speaker
Oh, that's good, too.
00:39:56
Speaker

00:40:02
Speaker
What about Star Trek Deep Pussy 5?
00:40:07
Speaker
Star ass into fartness.
00:40:09
Speaker

00:40:11
Speaker

00:40:37
Speaker
Again, it's already about that.
00:40:39
Speaker
Star Trek penis destination.
00:40:43
Speaker
Space, the final penis.
00:40:46
Speaker
Space, the final cum tier.
00:40:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:49
Speaker
There it is.
00:40:50
Speaker
That's the one.
00:40:50
Speaker
Oh, God.
00:40:52
Speaker
Sex, the final cum tier.
00:40:53
Speaker
There it is.
00:40:53
Speaker
There it is.
00:40:54
Speaker
There it is.
00:40:55
Speaker
This is something that I learned that I don't know if should have just been common knowledge for me, but because Brody won, I learned who his wife is today.
00:41:04
Speaker
Is she someone famous?
00:41:05
Speaker
Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife.
00:41:08
Speaker
So when Brody stood up there and said, when Brody stood up there and talked about kids calling him Popsy, he's talking about Harvey Weinstein's children calling him Popsy.
00:41:20
Speaker
Oh, that's crazy.
00:41:25
Speaker
Holy shit.
00:41:28
Speaker
How long was she?
00:41:30
Speaker
I also, let me just go ahead and get up and say,
00:41:33
Speaker
This podcast is 50% anti-brutalist, 25% currently indifferent because he cannot speak on it, and 25% pro.
00:41:44
Speaker
Didn't Joe watch most of it today?
00:41:46
Speaker
No, I watched 30 minutes of it today before my computer crashed.
00:41:49
Speaker
Oh, I didn't know you had started it.
00:41:51
Speaker
I've been shooting stuff in Austin all day, so I hadn't been paying attention.
00:41:54
Speaker
I got to the scene where he gets a handjob, and then he dances with that guy's wife.
00:42:01
Speaker
yeah yeah that first 30 minutes that first 30 minutes is excellent in my opinion okay i will say the fucking shot of the empire or the of the statue of liberty was was like chills inducing right dude really good it's really you saw you saw the spark shot right that's the first half hour yeah yeah because he's working at the furniture store still um i mean i yeah i'm pro i'm pro brutalist
00:42:23
Speaker
The train shot's my favorite part of the movie.
00:42:25
Speaker
The train shot's incredible.
00:42:27
Speaker
The way overhead.
00:42:28
Speaker
Yeah.
00:42:29
Speaker
I'm excited to finish it because I, from what I know, everyone's like, the first half is good.
00:42:36
Speaker
Everyone I know who's seen it says, I liked the first half and then it lost me in the second half.
00:42:40
Speaker
But then Austin is over here like, I liked all of it.
00:42:43
Speaker
Well, I think, so speaking to that, I will say, I think I had such low expectations for the second half that it helped.
00:42:50
Speaker
We talked a lot of shit on that second half.
00:42:52
Speaker
A lot of shit.
00:42:53
Speaker
And which I do think it's, it definitely pales in comparison to the first.
00:42:57
Speaker
However, I found a lot to like in it outside of one scene that we can talk about once Joe's seen it.
00:43:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:03
Speaker
That I just, I was like, just pull this out of the movie.
00:43:06
Speaker
Was it in the mountains or at the end?
00:43:09
Speaker
I think it's talking about the Felicity scene.
00:43:11
Speaker
Right before, yeah, right before the epilogue.
00:43:12
Speaker
And I liked the epilogue.
00:43:14
Speaker
I'll say that too.
00:43:15
Speaker
I was very moved by the epilogue.
00:43:17
Speaker
Interesting.
00:43:18
Speaker
My favorite Letterboxd review so far is, The Brutalist, the type of movie to use a newscast cutaway to explain things like Pennsylvania.
00:43:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:28
Speaker
That part is really sucking Pennsylvania's dick.
00:43:31
Speaker
You know, not to put too fine a point on it.
00:43:33
Speaker
It just came on, and I was like, what?
00:43:35
Speaker
I don't care.
00:43:36
Speaker
Show the movie.
00:43:36
Speaker
I think it works in the context of, like,
00:43:41
Speaker
really trying to pitch the same vision that like Van Buren has of like, this is the land of opportunity and all this stuff.
00:43:47
Speaker
And, and I think I got that from the statue of Liberty shot though.
00:43:51
Speaker
I didn't need the podcast.
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah.
00:43:53
Speaker
It is a little hat on a hat.
00:43:54
Speaker
I mean, a lot has been said about it.
00:43:56
Speaker
I think Guy Pearce is absolutely phenomenal.
00:43:58
Speaker
I'm really excited to get to that.
00:44:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:00
Speaker
Like it's maybe the second best, like second best obvious name of a character of the year outside of wow.
00:44:07
Speaker
Platinum is Harrison Van Buren.
00:44:09
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:09
Speaker
Harrison Lee Van Buren, named to have two presidents and a Confederate general.
00:44:14
Speaker
And Robert E. Lee.
00:44:16
Speaker
Yeah, it's like, okay, yeah, just call him, like, Captain, like, Senator America or something.
00:44:22
Speaker
No, that would be if the movie was written by a Japanese guy named Hideo Kojima.
00:44:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:28
Speaker
When you started, written by a Japanese guy, I didn't know where it was going, and then he said, hit it.
00:44:32
Speaker
I thought you were just going to stop there.
00:44:34
Speaker
He's cooking.
00:44:35
Speaker
If you've ever played a Kojima game, there's people named like Die Hard Man or a character named Fragile.
00:44:44
Speaker
These are all just characters in MGS5.
00:44:47
Speaker
Bob the Builder-esque characters.
00:44:51
Speaker
No, Fragile is in Death Stranding.
00:44:53
Speaker
In Metal Gear Solid, there's a character named Silent who can't speak but only ever wears a bikini because of a superpower she has where she can't wear clothes.
00:45:05
Speaker
And it's very obvious that Kojima scanned this poor woman's bare feet to make the model as accurate as possible.
00:45:15
Speaker
And you know what?
00:45:16
Speaker
And he's a genius for it.
00:45:18
Speaker
He's a goddamn masterpiece.
00:45:21
Speaker
One of the most fun combat experiences I've ever had playing a video game.
00:45:24
Speaker
It fucking rips, dog.
00:45:26
Speaker
It's a great thing of masterpieces.
00:45:28
Speaker
Have any of y'all seen the best animated picture winner?
00:45:32
Speaker
I'm so fucking excited to see Flo.
00:45:35
Speaker
I think we're going to fire up Flo maybe tonight.
00:45:40
Speaker
But, oh, I'm sorry.
00:45:41
Speaker
I realize this all started because I wanted to talk about Adrian Brody.
00:45:47
Speaker
which I think he gives an excellent performance I do think Pierce is the supernova in that film I really would have loved to have Pierce get up there because I would have loved to have at two different points in the night somebody get up and proclaim a free Palestine yeah but it would have been really sick but alas we got Brody saying nothing for five minutes but I've been seeing a lot of people
00:46:13
Speaker
saying a lot of shit about the career of one Adrian Brody.
00:46:18
Speaker
I think people are going to shut their goddamn mouths.
00:46:19
Speaker
People are talking about, he's the Eli Manning of cinema.
00:46:23
Speaker
Oh, he's got his two wins.
00:46:26
Speaker
Listen here, motherfuckers.
00:46:28
Speaker
I don't care if it's tone deaf and weird and a little bit racist for a guy from Houston to make a film about three guys from New York who go to India.
00:46:36
Speaker
Fucking excellent The Darjeeling Limited He's great in that movie Every time he shows up in a Wes Anderson film He's excellent He's excellent in the Thin Red Line You motherfuckers gotta step your fucking game up And learn some ball if you're gonna talk about Adrian Brody What about The Village?
00:46:55
Speaker
I'm very pro that movie.
00:46:56
Speaker
As a village defender.
00:46:58
Speaker
I'm very pro that movie.
00:46:59
Speaker
I like that movie.
00:47:00
Speaker
I think his performance is disastrous.
00:47:03
Speaker
I think you can say a lot of shit about Adrian Brody as a person, about how he's a narcissist and a weirdo, but I think his...
00:47:12
Speaker
filmography is pretty unassailable except for the bad things that he's been in but the good things that he's been in his performance in Grand Budapest when he calls Ralph Fiennes a bad name is one of the funniest moments in that movie I don't know if I've ever laughed harder when he responds well how am I supposed to feel about that counterpoint the Rob Schneider movie he's in where he plays a character named Flirty Harry and says
00:47:41
Speaker
You know what?
00:47:41
Speaker
Joe's going to watch that three weeks from now, and that's going to be an honorable mention high on this podcast.
00:47:47
Speaker
Which one is that one?
00:47:47
Speaker
Is that Deuce Bigelow?
00:47:48
Speaker
It's called Inappropriate Comedy.
00:47:51
Speaker
Yeah, but he apparently says, go ahead, pal, make me gay.
00:47:57
Speaker
I'm telling you, three weeks from now, Joseph is going to fire this film up, and he's going to come back, and we're going to go, all right, everyone, it's your favorite time of the year.
00:48:05
Speaker
Don't tell me about who I am or what I do.
00:48:07
Speaker
The Akira Kurosawa high and low.
00:48:08
Speaker
I'm going to go, Joe, why don't you lead us off?
00:48:10
Speaker
And he's like, all right.
00:48:14
Speaker
Just to spite you, I'm going to spend three weeks on the Criterion channel only.
00:48:18
Speaker
Just to spite you?
00:48:20
Speaker
You're going to be like, man, I really wish I was watching some slop on Tubi right now.
00:48:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:48:27
Speaker
That's a Joe every moment of every day.
00:48:29
Speaker
I do love watching Tubi slop.
00:48:32
Speaker
Joe doing literally anything.
00:48:34
Speaker
It's like, man.
00:48:36
Speaker
I could be watching Tubi slop right now.
00:48:38
Speaker
I wish I was watching some absolute piece of Russian shit.
00:48:43
Speaker
However long it is for Joe and Matty to eventually bring a child into this world, he's holding his beautiful baby in his arms.
00:48:48
Speaker
God damn, I wish I was watching Tubi right now.
00:48:50
Speaker
Oh, Joe.
00:48:51
Speaker
Dog.
00:48:51
Speaker
Rocking the baby to sleep.
00:48:54
Speaker
Hey, Matty, Matty, open your laptop.
00:48:55
Speaker
Open your laptop.
00:48:57
Speaker
It's my turn to rock the baby to sleep.
00:48:59
Speaker
Maddie's tired, so the baby's crying.
00:49:01
Speaker
I go, I'm rocking it in my arms.
00:49:03
Speaker
On my phone while I'm rocking it to sleep is a movie called Murder Knife.
00:49:09
Speaker
Murder Knife.
00:49:10
Speaker
Sorry, no.
00:49:11
Speaker
Joe, it'll be Murder Knife 2.
00:49:13
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:13
Speaker
Murder Knife 2, Electric Boogaloo.
00:49:15
Speaker
And I'll proclaim it as a masterpiece.
00:49:16
Speaker
Sorry, I'll revoke it.
00:49:17
Speaker
No, it's okay.
00:49:20
Speaker
Remind me the last name, Luke, who went to grad school at Baylor and filmed Red Beer.
00:49:24
Speaker
Oh, Amic.
00:49:25
Speaker
Emick.
00:49:25
Speaker
He was at he came to our party last night.
00:49:27
Speaker
He was in town for like a day.
00:49:29
Speaker
Sweet guy.
00:49:29
Speaker
And so I very nice guy.
00:49:31
Speaker
I texted him and I was like, just come come by before you go back to Austin.
00:49:34
Speaker
And we're sitting outside talking.
00:49:35
Speaker
Red comes out and we're all chatting.
00:49:37
Speaker
And we your name came up, as it often does in conversation around here.
00:49:42
Speaker
And.
00:49:44
Speaker
we were talking about your profound love for Southland Tales and Luke said something that I found so funny and I was like, I kind of don't want to tell Joe this because it's just going to fire him up, but I have to share.
00:49:52
Speaker
He said, dude, watching Southland Tales with Joe kind of made me redefine what makes a movie good.
00:49:58
Speaker
Wow.
00:50:00
Speaker
I was like, fuck you, man.
00:50:03
Speaker
It was also really good to sit with somebody and have a moment in person where two of us got to look at Austin and be like, actually, Southland Tales kind of rips.
00:50:12
Speaker
Yeah, I'm always outnumbered, whether it be on this podcast or in person.
00:50:17
Speaker
The funny thing about Luke and his response to specifically Richard Kelly movies is that he does not like Donnie Darko.
00:50:25
Speaker
He describes it as navel-gazy.
00:50:28
Speaker
It is naval.
00:50:29
Speaker
I mean, it has been rules.
00:50:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:33
Speaker
To each their own.
00:50:34
Speaker
He was talking about phenomenology and the word.
00:50:41
Speaker
I can't think of it.
00:50:42
Speaker
He used a lot of big philosophy words.
00:50:44
Speaker
Lost me a lot.
00:50:45
Speaker
Sounds right.
00:50:46
Speaker
Yeah, I can see that.
00:50:48
Speaker
I told him my favorite Cronenberg movie was Crimes of the Future, and he looked a little bit like he wanted to spit on my shoes.
00:50:55
Speaker
He was a big Cronenberg guy.
00:50:58
Speaker
Well, he said he hated The Shrouds, the newest Cronenberg.
00:51:02
Speaker
He said he fucking hated it.
00:51:03
Speaker
He said the worst movie he saw in a theater last year.
00:51:05
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:06
Speaker
Good God.
00:51:06
Speaker
What's his favorite?
00:51:08
Speaker
He's been reading too much Baudrillard.
00:51:10
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:11
Speaker
He's talked about Videodrome and History of Thrones.
00:51:14
Speaker
He's talked about Dead Ringers, The Fly.
00:51:17
Speaker
I mean, to be fair, Videodrome is my favorite Cronenberg, but I feel like if you knew me and knew what I like, then you would know that.
00:51:25
Speaker
I mean, to me, it's 1A and 1B in terms of
00:51:29
Speaker
Actually, it's probably 1A1 to be for Crimes of the Future and Crash in the Videodrome is a very, very close second.
00:51:34
Speaker
I do love Crash.
00:51:35
Speaker
I fucking love Crash.
00:51:36
Speaker
I also love A History of Violence.
00:51:38
Speaker
I just like the flesh gun.
00:51:39
Speaker
That was the first one I saw in it.
00:51:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:40
Speaker
Actually, my two favorite Cronenbergs both feature a flesh gun.
00:51:44
Speaker
What's your other?
00:51:45
Speaker
Existence.
00:51:46
Speaker
Oh, yes.
00:51:47
Speaker
I haven't seen that.
00:51:48
Speaker
Existence is fucking great.
00:51:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:51:50
Speaker
She was in that flick, right?
00:51:52
Speaker
Mm-hmm.
00:51:52
Speaker
Okay.
00:51:53
Speaker
I need to check that out.
00:51:54
Speaker
And there's a hot lady in it, but I'm not remembering her name off the top of my head.
00:51:57
Speaker
Juliette Binoche.
00:51:58
Speaker
Sure.
00:51:59
Speaker
I don't think it's Juliette Binoche.
00:52:00
Speaker
Hold on.
00:52:01
Speaker
It's not Juliette Binoche.
00:52:03
Speaker
I'm looking it up.
00:52:04
Speaker
I'm looking it up.
00:52:05
Speaker
I'm reigning it in.
00:52:06
Speaker
If it's Juliette Binoche, all of you have to Venmo me a dollar.
00:52:09
Speaker
It's Carmen Electra.
00:52:10
Speaker
No, because Red got a question about Juliette Binoche wrong at trivia last week.
00:52:14
Speaker
It's true.
00:52:14
Speaker
It's true.
00:52:16
Speaker
And Austin watched me in agony.
00:52:19
Speaker
Jason Lee.
00:52:21
Speaker
It's Jennifer Jason Lee.
00:52:23
Speaker
Hot Lady.
00:52:24
Speaker
I started to describe seven other Juliette Binoche movies and couldn't come up with the name Juliette Binoche.
00:52:31
Speaker
Nobody got that one.
00:52:32
Speaker
I kind of have some regrets about how hard I made that trivia.
00:52:36
Speaker
I feel like people aren't going to come back, but here we are.
00:52:39
Speaker
It was tough.
00:52:40
Speaker
It was fun, but it was tough.
00:52:42
Speaker
It was a good time.
00:52:42
Speaker
But there was a couple new teams that hardly got anything right.
00:52:45
Speaker
And I was like, ah, shit.
00:52:47
Speaker
This is not good for my brand.
00:52:49
Speaker
I'll be honest.
00:52:49
Speaker
I like...
00:52:53
Speaker
And this is the most like, I know we already talked about how specific this podcast can get, but this is even more specific.
00:52:58
Speaker
And that only two of us were at trivia and no one who listens to this podcast was at trivia.
00:53:06
Speaker
That's not hard.
00:53:07
Speaker
Yeah, it's true.
00:53:08
Speaker
You can go into pretty much any space in America and be in a space where there's no one who listens to this podcast.
00:53:14
Speaker
Hey, JD listened to an episode and he was at trivia.
00:53:16
Speaker
He said he listened to the Pixar.
00:53:17
Speaker
I really liked it.
00:53:17
Speaker
It's true.
00:53:18
Speaker
Come on.
00:53:20
Speaker
But I felt like it was an appropriate level of difficult
00:53:27
Speaker
And like frustrating, but not in a way of like, that's fucking stupid, dude.
00:53:30
Speaker
That's like a poorly written question.
00:53:32
Speaker
But frustrating of like, God damn it.
00:53:33
Speaker
I was close.
00:53:35
Speaker
I felt like... Trivia needs to be hard.
00:53:36
Speaker
There's been nights where it's easy where I go and it just... Everyone is like tied for first with like plus or minus one point at the end.
00:53:45
Speaker
That just fucking sucks.
00:53:47
Speaker
I just... I truly... I have to send it to people because I just have like no gauge of what people know and what people don't.
00:53:54
Speaker
Like I'm so bad at understanding that.
00:53:55
Speaker
But it's also like...
00:53:57
Speaker
i feel like for you red and for like teams that come every month i'm like if it's a little harder they're not gonna like but that's what the team is for you need someone who's like the music ringer someone who's the movie ringer i think it's a thing that people forget about um is like you can't just go with your friends if you're not playing trivia to win what the get the out of the bar it's not a fun game it is a serious competition it is a chance for me to like
00:54:23
Speaker
One of the highlights of my life was stepping into Pinewood trivia for horror movie trivia and getting every question except one right for the entire evening.
00:54:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:54:32
Speaker
That's like a moment of which I'm like, I'm here.
00:54:36
Speaker
This is my world.
00:54:37
Speaker
And you are all you don't get a lot of wins.
00:54:41
Speaker
But tonight, I remember the night they faced banana bread at work, dude.
00:54:47
Speaker
Banana bread at work, dude.
00:54:48
Speaker
I've been catching up on Pop Culture Jeopardy and kind of just going through episodes because I hadn't watched in a few weeks.
00:54:55
Speaker
And I turned it on the other night and Clarissa was like, what is this?
00:54:59
Speaker
And I was like, it's like Pop Culture Jeopardy.
00:55:00
Speaker
And she was like, how does Jeopardy work?
00:55:02
Speaker
And I was like, whoa.
00:55:05
Speaker
And I had to tell her about it.
00:55:06
Speaker
It was honestly really fun.
00:55:07
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:08
Speaker
Tell her about daily doubles and explain the rules to her.
00:55:12
Speaker
I was like, this is great.
00:55:12
Speaker
Because my upbringing was so Jeopardy-centric.
00:55:16
Speaker
Oh, 100%.
00:55:17
Speaker
I just assumed that everybody, again, it goes back to my limited experience.
00:55:22
Speaker
I'm going to put my girlfriend on blast for just a moment.
00:55:25
Speaker
Please.
00:55:26
Speaker
She is wonderful.
00:55:28
Speaker
She loves Jeopardy.
00:55:30
Speaker
In all forms.
00:55:30
Speaker
Actually, she hates Celebrity Jeopardy because she says there's too much talking.
00:55:35
Speaker
Which I think is hilarious.
00:55:36
Speaker
I fuck happy with Celebrity Jeopardy.
00:55:38
Speaker
It is very easy.
00:55:40
Speaker
They got some dumb motherfuckers on Celebrity Jeopardy.
00:55:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:43
Speaker
College Jeopardy is really easy.
00:55:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:55:46
Speaker
But the thing that frustrates me is when we watch Pop Culture Jeopardy and she knows the answer.
00:55:53
Speaker
Or rather, she knows
00:55:55
Speaker
what the question tied to the clue is, but she will never, ever answer in the form of a question.
00:56:01
Speaker
And that shit feels like, that shit feels like kicking, that shit feels like kicking a door like a thousand times in a row.
00:56:13
Speaker
Cause I'm just like, what do you mean you don't answer in the form of a question?
00:56:16
Speaker
That's how the fucking game works.
00:56:18
Speaker
It has to be in the form of a question.
00:56:19
Speaker
It has to be.
00:56:20
Speaker
I rewatched the Black Jeopardy sketch from the SNL 50 the other day.
00:56:24
Speaker
Amazing.
00:56:25
Speaker
The moment where Eddie Murphy, they're doing like, they're asking the SNL questions and he's like, what is live at the Apollo?
00:56:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:56:34
Speaker
And then he's like, he's like, Tracy, you were on it with Tina Fey.
00:56:37
Speaker
30 rock.
00:56:38
Speaker
And then Tracy,
00:56:41
Speaker
Leslie Jones both just like completely crack.
00:56:43
Speaker
They just start dying.
00:56:45
Speaker
It was so good.
00:56:46
Speaker
Murphy's Tracy impression is fucking awesome.
00:56:53
Speaker
It's really good.
00:56:54
Speaker
Almost as good as Bert Kreischer's.
00:56:58
Speaker
You can't see my face, but I was filled with vitriol.
00:57:02
Speaker
I was listening to
00:57:07
Speaker
Not to just talk about another podcast, but I was listening to Blank Check today, and the most recent episode is about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
00:57:17
Speaker
And Olivia Craighead is the guest, and she made reference to a throwaway 30 Rock line that I had forgotten.
00:57:25
Speaker
where I believe it's Liz telling Tracy, like, Tracy, Steven Spielberg is interested in having you in his new movie.
00:57:35
Speaker
And he goes, Kate Capshaw's husband?
00:57:37
Speaker
Which is such a banger.
00:57:46
Speaker
It's so good.
00:57:49
Speaker
I rewatched the thing the other day because I finished my rewatch.
00:57:51
Speaker
I might start again.
00:57:52
Speaker
Who knows?
00:57:53
Speaker
But I went back and watched the clip of when he's making, I think it's when he's making his wife's show and he keeps messing up his entrance.
00:58:02
Speaker
And it's like, honey, I'm home.
00:58:05
Speaker
Children, I'm black.
00:58:06
Speaker
And they just keep going through that whole thing.
00:58:08
Speaker
Oh, my God.
00:58:11
Speaker
It's so funny.
00:58:12
Speaker
It's so funny.
00:58:15
Speaker
30 Rock rules, man.
00:58:17
Speaker
And best picture goes to 30 Rock.
00:58:19
Speaker
30 Rock.
00:58:22
Speaker
Best actor goes to Tracy Morgan.
00:58:26
Speaker
Any other Oscar thoughts before we get to everyone's favorite part of this program?
00:58:30
Speaker
Or we could keep talking about 30 Rock.
00:58:32
Speaker
I don't mean to... I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to end the Oscar talk so we could talk about
00:58:40
Speaker
fun dumb bullshit or here's the fun dumb bullshit so we can talk about other stuff fun dumb bullshit i'm doing a king of the hill rewatch and there's an episode where they're talking about the super bowl and uh hank it's hank's turn to host and they're all standing out in the in the yard as they do and uh
00:58:59
Speaker
Bill goes, Hank, the Super Bowl's in four days.
00:59:03
Speaker
And Hank goes, Bill, the Super Bowl's in three days.
00:59:07
Speaker
And it cuts to Bill, and he's wearing a shirt that says four days till the Super Bowl.
00:59:12
Speaker
And he goes, oh.
00:59:17
Speaker
What are you doing up there, Bill?
00:59:18
Speaker
Oh, I'm just up here to kill myself.
00:59:21
Speaker
He pulls the shirt off, and there's a shirt underneath that shirt that says three days till the Super Bowl.
00:59:27
Speaker
Also, another great King of the Hill line that was on an episode like two previous to that was a Christmas episode where Hank's mom brings her new boyfriend to Christmas.
00:59:36
Speaker
And he says, Hank says his first and last name to all the guys.
00:59:44
Speaker
And Dale goes, what is that, German?
00:59:48
Speaker
And Hank goes, he's Jewish.
00:59:52
Speaker
And Bill goes, there's nothing wrong with that in and of itself.
00:59:56
Speaker
LAUGHTER
01:00:01
Speaker
Dude, it's such a well-written show.
01:00:03
Speaker
Jeez.
01:00:06
Speaker
Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, speaking of Conan, Greg Daniels, Conan used to be writing partners.
01:00:11
Speaker
Yeah, it's true.
01:00:12
Speaker
Wow.
01:00:12
Speaker
Way back in the day.
01:00:13
Speaker
Like office Greg Daniels?
01:00:14
Speaker
Early days.
01:00:15
Speaker
Yeah.
01:00:15
Speaker
They went to LA together.
01:00:18
Speaker
Wow.
01:00:19
Speaker
They shared an office.
01:00:21
Speaker
Man, I can't wait for us to move to L.A.
01:00:25
Speaker
Just get burnt alive.
01:00:27
Speaker
Wow.
01:00:29
Speaker
Sorry.
01:00:31
Speaker
Joe, cut that out.
01:00:34
Speaker
The worst, tiniest, smelliest office of the four of us trying to write a script together.
01:00:40
Speaker
I know it smelled crazy in there.
01:00:41
Speaker
It'd be like the office at the bar in L.A.
01:00:45
Speaker
it's always sunny yeah yeah yeah 100 i'm just actually after the episode where he has all of the asian dudes in the basement playing uh uh like dangerous betting games i love in that episode when they go down and it's filled with smoke and they're playing they're playing like deer hunter russian roulette and
01:01:10
Speaker
Great show.
01:01:12
Speaker
And the Oscar girls too is always sunny in Philadelphia.
01:01:15
Speaker
Not the new seasons, man.
01:01:17
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:18
Speaker
I think it's still pretty good.
01:01:18
Speaker
I haven't watched the newest season.
01:01:20
Speaker
The show's still funny enough, but the cast is becoming less fun off screen.
01:01:28
Speaker
Well, it's Rob McElhaney and Caitlin Olsen are both getting very annoying to me.
01:01:32
Speaker
Yeah.
01:01:33
Speaker
Glenn, Glenn Howerton is the same as he's always been and will never change, which I think should have got an Oscar nomination for Blackberry.
01:01:40
Speaker
Yes, I agree.
01:01:41
Speaker
And I and Charlie Charlie Day is Charlie Day.
01:01:44
Speaker
He's never going to change either, which I love him.
01:01:47
Speaker
But Rob McElhaney is getting a huge head.
01:01:49
Speaker
Charlie Day is a Sendero supporter.
01:01:51
Speaker
Yes.
01:01:53
Speaker
Yeah, he's worn some Sendero on a couple of episodes of the Always Sunny podcast, which now is kind of defunct, I guess.
01:02:02
Speaker
When they were in episode 15, I just started as social media manager, and I reached out, and we had like... This is where the podcast was first getting up and rolling, and so they probably had like...
01:02:16
Speaker
220,000 Instagram followers and we had like 181,000 or something so I was like we're like relatively the same size like I bet you like we'll get pushed to the top of their feed like or get pushed to the top of their DMs I was like yo
01:02:31
Speaker
Don't even care if Charlie wears it.
01:02:33
Speaker
We want to send like a box of 24 hats to just the crew.
01:02:37
Speaker
You'll wear them, throw them away.
01:02:39
Speaker
Don't give a shit.
01:02:40
Speaker
And it just got left on red.
01:02:42
Speaker
He's still wearing them.
01:02:44
Speaker
I mean, he wore them on the pod.
01:02:45
Speaker
Like, he's still wearing a hat on the pod.
01:02:47
Speaker
We're all thinking it.
01:02:48
Speaker
He should have won an Oscar for Pacific Rim.
01:02:52
Speaker
Dang.
01:02:53
Speaker
Banger.
01:02:53
Speaker
I think...
01:02:57
Speaker
My biggest version of that, of being like, God damn it, I can't believe we didn't get him, is I reached out to Zach Top right before he had his explosion.
01:03:07
Speaker
Right before his monthly listeners jumped by 300%.
01:03:09
Speaker
And I think his social media manager just left us on read.
01:03:15
Speaker
He just exploded all over everybody.
01:03:18
Speaker
And he's exploded all over everybody.
01:03:20
Speaker
He was going to blow up and act like he don't know nobody.
01:03:24
Speaker
Also, his name is Zach Top.
01:03:26
Speaker
Yeah.
01:03:27
Speaker
Where's Jack Bottom?
01:03:29
Speaker
There you go.
01:03:30
Speaker
Jack.
01:03:30
Speaker
Actually, Austin, Zach Top is what they say whenever I walk into your mom's house.
01:03:37
Speaker
Oh, nice.
01:03:41
Speaker
We love Zach.
01:03:42
Speaker
That was a treasure.
01:03:43
Speaker
We love Zach.
01:03:44
Speaker
Comedy's legal again.
01:03:45
Speaker
God damn it.
01:03:47
Speaker
We can make gay jokes again.
01:03:49
Speaker
Everyone's saying it.
01:03:51
Speaker
They're saying I made gay jokes legal again.
01:03:54
Speaker
And then I showed a meme of a blowjob.
01:03:59
Speaker
And also, just for the record, you should have said please and thank you when you entered the building.
01:04:09
Speaker
Have you thanked President Trump once today?
01:04:12
Speaker
Hold on.
01:04:12
Speaker
Actually, I can make my impression better.
01:04:14
Speaker
Have you thanked President Trump once today?
01:04:20
Speaker
He's trying to stop the war.
01:04:22
Speaker
He's trying.
01:04:24
Speaker
We all do need to take a moment to just say thank you to Conan.
01:04:29
Speaker
Show some appreciation.
01:04:31
Speaker
Thank you, Conan.
01:04:32
Speaker
Thank you, Conan.
01:04:32
Speaker
We love you, Conan.
01:04:33
Speaker
Conan, come on the podcast.
01:04:34
Speaker
We'd love to have you.
01:04:36
Speaker
We'd love to have you, King.
01:04:37
Speaker
Conan, I would never trade you for some Percocet.
01:04:41
Speaker
JD Vance?
01:04:43
Speaker
Definitely.
01:04:43
Speaker
I don't even take Percocet.
01:04:45
Speaker
I don't even fuck with prescription drugs.
01:04:49
Speaker
I would trade JD Vance for a flaming bag of shit that I have to step on.
01:04:53
Speaker
Yeah.
01:04:54
Speaker
I went back and watched the Conan Jordan Schlansky Millennium Falcon bit.
01:05:01
Speaker
And he throws the fucking Millennium Falcon.
01:05:09
Speaker
I was like, man, Conan is the fucking best.
01:05:11
Speaker
Have you all seen the clip of Conan's podcast where he and Kevin Nealon can't stop laughing?
01:05:15
Speaker
Yeah, it's classic.
01:05:17
Speaker
It's fucking incredible.
01:05:20
Speaker
There's an old Conan clip that I think about a lot.
01:05:22
Speaker
It's him and Jordan Shlansky go to a coffee roaster.
01:05:26
Speaker
Yeah, they go to Intelligentsia in LA.
01:05:28
Speaker
And there's a big...
01:05:33
Speaker
I don't know what you'd call it.
01:05:34
Speaker
Roasting drum.
01:05:34
Speaker
Yeah, it's like stirring all the beans.
01:05:36
Speaker
And Conan goes, so if someone were to fall into this, they would presumably die.
01:05:42
Speaker
They would be crushed to death or cut into ribbons.
01:05:44
Speaker
And the guy's like, well, it's kind of dangerous.
01:05:46
Speaker
And then he just gets behind Jordan and is like sneaking up behind him like old school Nosferatu style about to push him in.
01:05:54
Speaker
So sick.
01:05:55
Speaker
I love it.
01:05:56
Speaker
You guys watch any movies this week?
01:05:58
Speaker
Yeah.
01:05:59
Speaker
I watched a couple of flicks.
01:06:01
Speaker
That was a lot.
01:06:01
Speaker
Red, kick us off.
01:06:02
Speaker
What was your high and low?
01:06:04
Speaker
Oh, this is the Akira Kurosawa high and low.
01:06:06
Speaker
Is everyone's favorite part of the show?
01:06:07
Speaker
Because it means we're nearing the end.
01:06:11
Speaker
If you stuck around this long.
01:06:14
Speaker
If this is your first episode, what the fuck?
01:06:17
Speaker
Why?
01:06:18
Speaker
Why?
01:06:18
Speaker
I love you.
01:06:19
Speaker
Yeah, listen to Pixar 1.
01:06:22
Speaker
Honestly, Top 5 Dude's Rock movies is also pretty banger because I get to yell a lot at Joe and Austin.
01:06:28
Speaker
But if you don't want to hear us talk about jacking off, yeah.
01:06:32
Speaker
If you want to listen to an episode with your grandma, listen to that one.
01:06:37
Speaker
I think we did manage to make a Pixar episode not safe for work.
01:06:43
Speaker
Oh, yeah, for sure.
01:06:44
Speaker
I'm sure.
01:06:45
Speaker
I can't get through a conversation these days.
01:06:47
Speaker
It's getting hard.
01:06:48
Speaker
My brain is fucking fried, man.
01:06:50
Speaker
As he said.
01:06:51
Speaker
Hey!
01:06:53
Speaker
So, my highs and lows.
01:06:56
Speaker
I'm going to honorable mention one of these, mostly because we will be talking about it soon once everyone has the chance to see it.
01:07:02
Speaker
But I am just going to lead off.
01:07:05
Speaker
I love Paddington and Peru.
01:07:06
Speaker
I thought it was fucking awesome.
01:07:07
Speaker
Hell yeah, second that.
01:07:09
Speaker
It is still an excellent trilogy.
01:07:11
Speaker
Very excited to see this flick.
01:07:13
Speaker
And there is a... You know, there's some... We'll talk about it more.
01:07:18
Speaker
My actual high is I finally finished.
01:07:21
Speaker
I had started... Man.
01:07:25
Speaker
I'm just trying to look at all this shit.
01:07:27
Speaker
I've seen some good stuff recently.
01:07:30
Speaker
Since the last time we recorded, I'm going to actually go ahead and give a shout-out to Wallace and Gromit, Vengeance Most Foul.
01:07:39
Speaker
Yep.
01:07:39
Speaker
Great.
01:07:40
Speaker
Which I said in the group chat is like in many ways just Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning in its plotting and in its execution and in some of its action sequences.
01:07:54
Speaker
But like...
01:07:59
Speaker
I think we all take for granted just how good these Aardman movies are, man.
01:08:01
Speaker
Like, the craft, the jokes, like, really, really, really funny jokes.
01:08:08
Speaker
Like, multiple times where, like, we cackled, like, out loud, like...
01:08:13
Speaker
just having a fucking ball.
01:08:15
Speaker
There's just a timeless sense of humor.
01:08:17
Speaker
Like it's, you could show Wallace and Gromit movie to someone like, like you could show it as the, like the, the opening act to a chaplain movie back in that audience.
01:08:27
Speaker
And they would still think it was funny.
01:08:28
Speaker
I mean, dude, the whole feathers McGraw premise is just a Groucho.
01:08:32
Speaker
So funny.
01:08:34
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:34
Speaker
It's really good.
01:08:35
Speaker
Yeah.
01:08:36
Speaker
Um, my low, and I, I actually didn't think I was going to have a low.
01:08:40
Speaker
And then I remembered this, um,
01:08:43
Speaker
I watched a film from 2002 called Zero Day.
01:08:47
Speaker
And it is a found footage, it's a found footage, thriller, horror, whatever you want to call it, but essentially,
01:08:59
Speaker
is it is set up to be eerily reminiscent of the tapes that the two kids filmed before they committed the Columbine shooting.
01:09:08
Speaker
Oh, damn.
01:09:11
Speaker
And this movie also shows, from a found footage perspective, but shows the school shooting.
01:09:19
Speaker
I think it's well-made.
01:09:21
Speaker
I think it's effective.
01:09:24
Speaker
Sure.
01:09:25
Speaker
But there's a degree of which you're just like...
01:09:29
Speaker
And it's hard to describe because it's like I will watch like truly really depraved horror movies and like laugh a lot.
01:09:37
Speaker
But it's like we're talking about earlier.
01:09:38
Speaker
It's like real life is different.
01:09:40
Speaker
What's that other movie?
01:09:42
Speaker
Elephant?
01:09:42
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say Elephant is very like...
01:09:46
Speaker
It's hard to say a movie like that is tasteful, but it is very tasteful.
01:09:51
Speaker
It's hard to watch, and it came out really soon after the tragedy, but it's really... I don't know.
01:09:58
Speaker
It's not heavy-handed in its portrayal of the events.
01:10:00
Speaker
It's not ultra-violent either.
01:10:03
Speaker
It's not like that fucking Ben Shapiro-produced school shooting movie that's like fucking diehard piece of shit, eat my wet ass.
01:10:11
Speaker
Yeah, but Zero Day, I mean, it came out in 2002, which I think is, I think, considering the time period, it's very effective.
01:10:20
Speaker
I think it's well done.
01:10:23
Speaker
I did not enjoy it.
01:10:23
Speaker
In fact, I had a bad time the entire time, so that's why it's my low.
01:10:28
Speaker
It's just like a, it's just really upsetting in a very particular way.
01:10:33
Speaker
I got to bounce off that really quick because this is just funny to me.
01:10:37
Speaker
It's not going to sound like it's funny.
01:10:38
Speaker
School shootings.
01:10:40
Speaker
I watched this documentary about this production company called Wave Productions.
01:10:44
Speaker
It's basically just softcore porn that they made in this guy's basement.
01:10:49
Speaker
But the documentary is about the guy who made it and all the people who were in his production company and loved him.
01:10:55
Speaker
It was a really good group of people or whatever.
01:10:57
Speaker
It kind of interviews with the people who liked this kind of weird fetish porn horror movies.
01:11:02
Speaker
I don't know.
01:11:04
Speaker
We need a weekly Joe segment called Maddie's Asleep.
01:11:07
Speaker
LAUGHTER
01:11:09
Speaker
I actually watched this at work, which is crazy.
01:11:16
Speaker
That's how I feel about that, Joseph.
01:11:19
Speaker
They mention there's this guy who was like a protege of this guy who went on to start his own version of this company.
01:11:24
Speaker
And his name's like something.
01:11:25
Speaker
He goes by something hellfire.
01:11:28
Speaker
and I was like that's stupid I gotta check out his IMDB so I went and one of the first movies that he directed is what I can only describe as a Columbine exploitation film oh Jesus it's like a ultra violent like it's hard you can't describe it as anything other than an exploitation movie about the Columbine shooting and it's like whoa that's crazy there's something like not tasteful what's this doc called Joe
01:11:59
Speaker
I actually don't think I logged it on... You didn't want the mutuals seeing that you had watched it.
01:12:05
Speaker
But I watched it on Tubi.
01:12:06
Speaker
I can go to the old watch history.
01:12:08
Speaker
Keep talking.
01:12:09
Speaker
Someone else go while I look for this.
01:12:10
Speaker
Austin, you got to bounce soon, right?
01:12:12
Speaker
Yeah, I'll go ahead and go.
01:12:14
Speaker
So my...
01:12:15
Speaker
We haven't recorded in a couple of weeks, so I was looking at a long list.
01:12:18
Speaker
My low, it's funny, is also something called Zero Day, but it's the new Netflix show, Zero Day, which I watched all of because Clarice was out of town, and it's six episodes.
01:12:30
Speaker
I just binged through it, and I was like, okay, it's a great cast.
01:12:32
Speaker
It's Joan Allen, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lizzie Kaplan, Connie Britton, Angela Bassett.
01:12:41
Speaker
You know, it's star-studded.
01:12:43
Speaker
And it has all of these great people who are great at saying things and absolutely nothing to say.
01:12:49
Speaker
I found it very trite and annoying.
01:12:52
Speaker
But again, I watched all of it, so I don't know what I can say beyond that.
01:12:56
Speaker
I'm going to hit some quick honorable mention rewatches for me.
01:13:01
Speaker
I rewatched a lot of stuff in the last week just for comfort's sake.
01:13:05
Speaker
Crimson Tide.
01:13:06
Speaker
And the conversation I watched the day after Gene Hackman, after we learned of Gene Hackman's death, both phenomenal.
01:13:12
Speaker
I love both of those movies in very different ways.
01:13:14
Speaker
Logan Lucky, I rewatched.
01:13:16
Speaker
Fuck yeah.
01:13:17
Speaker
Just the best time.
01:13:19
Speaker
Just Adam Driver screaming, did you just say cauliflower at me?
01:13:24
Speaker
One of my favorite drivers Fantastic, he's incredible And Doom Part 2 Really rose for me I have to atone for my sins On this podcast I was negative on it When we did our first ever episode And I regret that, I think it's phenomenal Upon rewatch I'm on the right side of history I'm on the right side of history now Thank God Actual highs
01:13:52
Speaker
The Brutalist.
01:13:54
Speaker
New watch.
01:13:57
Speaker
I thought it was really excellent.
01:13:58
Speaker
I really liked it.
01:13:59
Speaker
I was very moved by it in a way that I wouldn't anticipate.
01:14:02
Speaker
And then a movie I texted y'all about that I want everybody to watch because it's really fucking good.
01:14:07
Speaker
It came out this past year.
01:14:07
Speaker
It's called Matt and Mara.
01:14:08
Speaker
Joe watched it.
01:14:10
Speaker
You might hear me talk about it later Beautiful, it's on Mubi It's a Canadian filmmaker Named Kazik Radwanski And stars Matt Johnson Who was also in BlackBerry Discussed earlier And director of BlackBerry As well, thank you Who also directed a Columbine movie He did, that's true Wow, it all ties back together It's like a
01:14:37
Speaker
I don't know.
01:14:38
Speaker
It's like a Canadian sort of Noah Baumbach-y movie.
01:14:42
Speaker
It's like Mumblecore, yeah.
01:14:44
Speaker
It's like Mumblecore-y, but it's about the weird middle ground in relationships between prior best friends, and maybe that got sexual and romantic at some point, and maybe that was kind of one-sided.
01:14:57
Speaker
We don't really know.
01:14:58
Speaker
And it just explores all these interpersonal dynamics really, really beautifully.
01:15:03
Speaker
It also looks great.
01:15:04
Speaker
It's very well shot.
01:15:06
Speaker
I think he shot it on like 35.
01:15:07
Speaker
It looks amazing.
01:15:10
Speaker
And it's just like, I love going into movies like that where I like have really no connection to the actors.
01:15:16
Speaker
The woman who plays Mara is named Dara Campbell and she's phenomenal.
01:15:20
Speaker
But like Matt Johnson, I don't really know from anything outside of Blackberry.
01:15:22
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:24
Speaker
And so I love going into that and just being able to invest in these characters because I'm not bringing all this baggage from actors I know.
01:15:32
Speaker
And I thought it was, I was very, very moved by it.
01:15:36
Speaker
So Matt and Mara on Mubi would highly, highly recommend.
01:15:40
Speaker
And I would like to hear from Zach.
01:15:43
Speaker
All right.
01:15:44
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:45
Speaker
I've watched a lot of movies in the last couple of weeks and a lot of really, really good ones.
01:15:50
Speaker
Yeah.
01:15:53
Speaker
As far as lows, a couple of them are... I didn't even dislike it, but Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was one of the lower
Upcoming Film Anticipations and Recommendations
01:16:00
Speaker
ones.
01:16:00
Speaker
Fair.
01:16:02
Speaker
Blitz, another one that I didn't dislike actively, but I thought was just kind of empty.
01:16:09
Speaker
Isn't it the lowest movie of the year for you?
01:16:12
Speaker
Blitz?
01:16:14
Speaker
No.
01:16:14
Speaker
When I checked your list the other day, I think it was, but maybe you just added it.
01:16:18
Speaker
Yeah, I just hadn't split it up for anything.
01:16:20
Speaker
I was like, I thought you fucking hated that flick from where you had it.
01:16:23
Speaker
No, it has some really good moments in it.
01:16:26
Speaker
I feel like it didn't say very much.
01:16:29
Speaker
The tone of it, I couldn't place the tone.
01:16:32
Speaker
It was well shot.
01:16:35
Speaker
It had decent performances.
01:16:36
Speaker
But at the end of the day, it was about a traumatic event for a kid.
01:16:41
Speaker
So you thought it was going to go more towards a...
01:16:45
Speaker
I mean, for a direct parallel, like Chronicles of Narnia plays, like not actually going into the fantasy, but going into like the heartfelt warmth of it.
01:16:54
Speaker
But it kind of just ended on like a, oh, it's all shit.
01:16:58
Speaker
Hmm.
01:16:59
Speaker
So that just didn't leave a great taste in my mouth.
01:17:04
Speaker
Honorable mention to Grand Theft Hamlet.
01:17:07
Speaker
I hope we see a lot more movies like this.
01:17:10
Speaker
It was like fascinating experience.
01:17:12
Speaker
You can see a lot of movies like that on YouTube.
01:17:15
Speaker
You search Grand Theft Auto Let's Play.
01:17:17
Speaker
I'm sure there's a bunch of those.
01:17:22
Speaker
honorable mention.
01:17:25
Speaker
So the next two movies I'm going to talk about here are like two movies that I consider masterpieces, like five star masterpieces, but I'm still here and do the right thing are my highs of the week by far.
01:17:38
Speaker
I have seen probably four or five Spike Lee movies before do the right thing, which is kind of inexplicable considering what that movie means for his filmography.
01:17:48
Speaker
But like,
01:17:49
Speaker
I said this in our group chat, but I don't mind having blind spots because I want to be able to watch a masterpiece from the 80s 10 years from now for the first time.
01:18:00
Speaker
And Do the Right Thing is one of those ones that you hear about a million times and it is that good.
01:18:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's as good as people say it is.
01:18:07
Speaker
Yeah, if not better.
01:18:09
Speaker
Like, Turturro is instantly one of my favorite...
01:18:14
Speaker
performances by a guy who i think has over a dozen brilliant performances um with torturo and yeah everyone's incredible i also finally like i'm going through a lot of spike lee movies right now but i had one of those like i don't know why i didn't place that sooner the fact that spike lee was working with joali and bill lee
01:18:36
Speaker
on like all of the early movies in his filmography.
01:18:40
Speaker
So I feel like we should talk about the Lee family can like together a little bit more.
01:18:46
Speaker
Yeah.
01:18:46
Speaker
But yeah, I already talked about I'm still here a little bit, but Fernando Torres, incredible performance.
01:18:52
Speaker
And the kids in this movie are awesome actors.
01:18:57
Speaker
Like that's one thing I didn't expect from this movie is just like a handful of really stellar kid performances.
01:19:05
Speaker
Watch it when you can.
01:19:07
Speaker
It got a wide release in Texas this past week.
01:19:11
Speaker
Hell yeah.
01:19:12
Speaker
Excellent.
01:19:13
Speaker
Well, Joe, I think you still have to finish your high and low.
01:19:15
Speaker
I do.
01:19:17
Speaker
Read that documentary is called Mail Order Murder.
01:19:19
Speaker
It's on Tubi.
01:19:20
Speaker
Okay.
01:19:22
Speaker
The story of Wave Productions.
01:19:24
Speaker
Gonzo Horror Buffs will love this documentary about New Jersey's Wave Productions who allow fans to script and produce their own horror films, which is where the fetish porn aspect of it comes in.
01:19:34
Speaker
Uh-huh.
01:19:35
Speaker
It'll be like they talk about one where the it's these this girl who invents a shrink ray and then shrinks all of the women who like cheated or helped like had affairs with her husbands and then she eats them.
01:19:49
Speaker
It's like, oh, wow.
01:19:51
Speaker
OK, cool.
01:19:52
Speaker
Someone was really into that.
01:19:54
Speaker
All right.
01:19:56
Speaker
So you go.
01:19:58
Speaker
So my low of the week, sadly, because I liked a lot of it,
01:20:03
Speaker
was Bruiser, George A. Romero's film from 2000.
01:20:08
Speaker
I hadn't heard of it.
01:20:09
Speaker
I saw it on Tubi.
01:20:10
Speaker
It's got a fantastic Peter Storm air performance as just like a fucking crazy CEO.
01:20:18
Speaker
Just saying cool shit the whole movie.
01:20:21
Speaker
I don't even know what I would really expect from a turn-of-the-century Romero movie.
01:20:24
Speaker
It is a...
01:20:27
Speaker
So I'll just read you the plot hook.
01:20:30
Speaker
Bruiser is the story of a man who has always tried to fit in.
01:20:33
Speaker
He follows the rules, keeps his mouth shut, and does what he's supposed to do.
01:20:35
Speaker
But one morning, he wakes up to find his face is gone.
01:20:40
Speaker
It's replaced by a white mask.
01:20:43
Speaker
It's just a blank face.
01:20:46
Speaker
And then he decides to go on a killing spree.
01:20:49
Speaker
It's basically like the invisible man meets falling down.
01:20:55
Speaker
Meets eyes without a face.
01:20:56
Speaker
Yeah.
01:20:59
Speaker
And it's really, it's a really good movie for 30 minutes and the middle hour is not very good.
01:21:07
Speaker
And then the last 30 minutes is fucking crazy.
01:21:11
Speaker
Good crazy, bad crazy, like... Worth a watch crazy.
01:21:16
Speaker
That's all I'll say.
01:21:18
Speaker
I can't, I can't, I don't think, I can't tell you it's good because I don't think it was good.
01:21:22
Speaker
But it was interesting and it was short.
01:21:25
Speaker
Okay.
01:21:25
Speaker
So,
01:21:26
Speaker
um but uh highs of the week honorable mention i gotta give an honorable mention to dd fuck yeah great time i like that movie a lot uh it was like it was like mid 90s uh but not about annoying white people um yeah and uh the uh it also featured a character who is a skater going hey man you shouldn't talk to your mom like that which is great uh
01:21:51
Speaker
Love that.
01:21:52
Speaker
Other honorable mention, I just didn't want to make it my high because it would be my high every month if I talked about it, but it was Wet Hot American Summer.
01:21:59
Speaker
I rewatched that recently.
01:22:00
Speaker
I thought you were going to say Rap World.
01:22:04
Speaker
I thought about it.
01:22:05
Speaker
Well, no.
01:22:08
Speaker
Red.
01:22:09
Speaker
Why would I say that?
01:22:11
Speaker
I hate that show.
01:22:13
Speaker
Very publicly.
01:22:15
Speaker
My actual high was Matt and Mara as well as Austin.
01:22:19
Speaker
This is a fucking fantastic movie.
01:22:22
Speaker
It's endlessly watchable.
01:22:24
Speaker
I put it on right before I went to bed because I thought I would watch 30 Minutes, Get Tired, and then finish Thrust and
01:22:30
Speaker
the next day and I watched the whole thing.
01:22:33
Speaker
Wow.
01:22:34
Speaker
It's just really good.
01:22:36
Speaker
Matt Johnson is incredible.
01:22:37
Speaker
I didn't remember the Canadian lady who plays the female lead, but she's also fantastic.
01:22:44
Speaker
Just really subtle, nice performances.
01:22:46
Speaker
A lot of improvisation.
01:22:47
Speaker
Like it felt bubbly and lively.
01:22:52
Speaker
I explained to some people as if before Sunrise was about situationships.
01:22:58
Speaker
Nice.
01:23:00
Speaker
And yeah, it's very good.
01:23:01
Speaker
I would personally recommend it.
01:23:03
Speaker
A lot of good shit on movie right now.
01:23:04
Speaker
Okay.
01:23:05
Speaker
Yeah, there is.
01:23:06
Speaker
It is an excellent streaming service.
01:23:08
Speaker
I just looked over it.
01:23:09
Speaker
I'm going to show you.
01:23:10
Speaker
I saw this little guy at the library the other day.
01:23:14
Speaker
I can't read it.
01:23:14
Speaker
Oh, Lucky Mira.
01:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'm excited about that one.
01:23:18
Speaker
Dude, Lucky Mira and The Beast are both movies that I know that I need to watch because I have a feeling that they will top my list, actually.
01:23:25
Speaker
And queer.
01:23:25
Speaker
Yeah, I need to watch queer.
01:23:26
Speaker
Yeah, so I watched the guy who directed The Beast had another movie on Criterion.
01:23:32
Speaker
Bertrand Brunello, yeah.
01:23:33
Speaker
Yeah, it was a movie about a...
01:23:37
Speaker
an organized bombing of France by a young eco-terrorist group or whatever.
01:23:44
Speaker
And it was fantastic.
01:23:47
Speaker
So I'm excited for the beast because it was really good.
01:23:50
Speaker
It was so... Like, it was the perfect amount of French.
01:23:55
Speaker
And by that, I mean it wasn't very French at all.
01:24:00
Speaker
Well, this podcast has been the perfect amount of French.
01:24:05
Speaker
Excuse my French, but fuck you.
01:24:07
Speaker
