00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.799
Welcome back midnight viewers. Father alone
Here, we're doing something a little bit

2
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.880
different. Hopefully this is the start
of a trend. We realize that you

3
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.200
love anthologies. We love anthologies,
We all love anthologies. But we also

4
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:56.640
realize that sometimes it can be a
bit limiting, particularly when a series we're

5
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.799
covering just isn't available to the general
public. So in an effort to improve

6
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.640
that particular situation, I'm gonna be
taking a look at things that are a

7
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:11.040
little bit more current, sometimes sometimes
a little bit older, and sometimes not

8
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:17.120
anything to do with anthologies at all. But all will definitely be available on

9
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:23.000
streaming or YouTube or somewhere. I
will update you as we go along.

10
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.439
And joining me here is my co
host for the first time. She is

11
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:32.000
new to the team, new to
podcasting. Everybody say hello to Ripley,

12
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.879
Ripley, how are you doing?
All right, let's start with a I

13
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.159
think technically you can call this a
horror movie. It's gone Zilla minus one.

14
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.640
It's currently streaming pretty much everywhere.
Everyone's talking about it. Everyone's raving

15
00:01:44.680 --> 00:02:06.319
about it. Everyone but me.
Gota minus lah. Yeah, that's right,

16
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.840
here's your hot take. I did
not like Godzilla minus one. I

17
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.680
love the opening third of that film, and that was about it. Now,

18
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.520
why everyone is going crazy for it
is because it's finally taking that franchise

19
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.120
seriously for the first time and I
don't know, fifty sixty years and it's

20
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.800
doing a pretty good job and grounding
it with human characters you actually could potentially

21
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:36.439
care about is another great direction to
go in. Unfortunately, the story of

22
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:44.080
the Kama Kazi pilot who didn't perform
his Kama Kazi duty and he's still alive

23
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.039
and he harbor's guilt, and I
wonder where this is going. Oh man,

24
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.960
I won't get into spoilers or anything. I just was not turned on

25
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.680
by the plot of this film.
I kind of saw it from the opening

26
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.120
scene where we were going by the
end, and that's exactly where we went

27
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.400
to. But I will say the
opening attack of Godzilla, his first sort

28
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.319
of appearance, is really incredible and
absolutely worth your time. So I'm not

29
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:12.240
gonna say don't watch this movie.
I'm saying I didn't like this movie.

30
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.439
I'm gonna kick it over to Ripley. Ripley, what do you think of

31
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:20.520
Godzilla minus one? So you think
I'm wrong? What do you know?

32
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.120
You've never seen any Gunzilla movie,
but this one. Next up is The

33
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.919
Boys that's on Amazon Prime. This
is the season four they just entered,

34
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:37.680
and definitely more of the same.
The virus Q soups. This is insane

35
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.840
and desperate, even for you,
well, insanely desperates where we are,

36
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:50.280
don't you thank you? Let's go
chop chopping motherfuckers. Let's say it's a

37
00:03:50.360 --> 00:04:02.319
Babel good versus people. I'm declaren
hut season on Star Ladders. We can't

38
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:10.240
religious is fucking happening to me again? Look, we've all done bad ship.

39
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.480
What's insane is that our solution to
every problem is murdered. Violence isn't

40
00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:25.759
brave, vice is power. That's
a spirit jam who wants a creamy,

41
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.079
delicious milkshack. We're ever gonna win
against monsters. We need to start acting

42
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:50.639
human. You're a fucking welcome sust. I don't know that they're going anywhere

43
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.879
interesting so far this year it just
seems to be more bad behavior and blood

44
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.759
bath. And although Kimmico seems to
have become I don't know all powerful this

45
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.600
season, she pretty much regenerates on
the spot. No matter what you do

46
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.199
with her, cut off her hand
here it is blow her up well,

47
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.639
here she is. I always wonder
when people blow up if they don't have

48
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.800
two parts, if the two parts
don't regenerate on their own, is that

49
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.000
a possibility or does it have to
be the brain section only? I don't

50
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.519
know. Anyway, there's a whole
lot of that this year. But obviously

51
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:30.240
Eric Kripkey is doing the Lord's work
out there, swinging and amazingly, the

52
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.199
crazier sort of QAnon right wing folk
out there have only just cotton to the

53
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:39.639
idea that the series has been making
fun of them the entire time. I

54
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.319
don't know how that's possible, but
it is. Anyway, Boys, definite

55
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.319
thumbs up. There a recommendation go
check that out season four if you haven't

56
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.920
seen it at all. It is
a parody of superhero movies if you don't

57
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.720
even know what I'm talking about,
but it is well worth your time anything

58
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.360
with Carl Urban and it is going
to be fantastic. What's that? Oh

59
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.160
yeah? Ripley wants everyone to know
that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has joined the cast

60
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.800
of the Boys this season. You
might remember who's the comedian back in the

61
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.040
day on Watchman. I guess he's
on The Walking Dead too. Okay,

62
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:14.000
find you like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Okay, next out to season two of

63
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:21.519
House of the Dragon. That's on
Max no longer hbo. I guess the

64
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:28.399
targarian who sits the iron throne.
It's not just a king or a queen.

65
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:38.000
They are a protector of the room. No, I find myself in

66
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:44.360
an impossible position. Oh, hey, King, Hey God, the enemy

67
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:53.480
us up to my throne. We're
going to King clonding. Well, what

68
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:59.199
are we going to do about it? We must play the board before us

69
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.040
proceed, which is the fuck?
Dignity war is comming. Neither of us

70
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:20.680
be with uh here we are too
many character names, too many dragon names.

71
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.319
I'm clueless to whoever anyone is referring
to at any one time. Nevertheless,

72
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.439
I remain or riveted to the series, even though they're turning my favorite

73
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.639
character, who is Eggon, the
boy who did not want to be king,

74
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:39.120
into another Geoffrey not appreciated. I
like that guy. Let him be

75
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.360
good too much? White hair?
Huh? I kind of agree with you.

76
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.759
Anyway, where's this series going?
Anyway? Is that? Here's my

77
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.439
thought that if the pirate boy,
you know, the white haired boy with

78
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.319
the with the eye patch. See. I don't know his name because I

79
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.759
don't know anyone's name. Allison,
that's a name, Auto. I guess

80
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:00.639
that's one too. I'm really hoping
Pirate Boy turns into a hero and switch

81
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.959
asides by the end of this.
And I don't know, maybe Damon.

82
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.120
That's the only other character's name I
know, because that's doctor who I hope.

83
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.040
I hope he eventually switches sides as
well, and I want those two

84
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.759
to go at it is that weird? I don't know. I'm enjoying the

85
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.079
show anyway, even though it's mostly
confusing. I told you we are not

86
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:26.800
talking about Star Wars this week.
Okay, God, last night a Jedi

87
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:37.360
was murdered. The Jedi justify their
galactic dominance in the name of peace.

88
00:08:37.360 --> 00:09:01.919
But that piece is a lie.
What are you not they acolyte? This

89
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.600
one I've actually been anticipating. I
was actually excited about the idea that we

90
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.879
get to witness the birth of the
Synth some hundreds of years before maybe a

91
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.159
thousand years, don't know, it's
one hundred years, I guess before the

92
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.840
fall of the Republic. Is it
a thousand? Who knows? It's very

93
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.080
unclear. Nevertheless, we're given to
given a whole new set of characters,

94
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.360
all of which are terrifically boring.
Nothing new in the Star Wars universe here

95
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:31.399
at all. If anything could make
me long for the days of Boba fet,

96
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.799
this is it. Man. It's
really unpleasant to watch. Yeah,

97
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.799
well, you're finishing the series on
your own, little lady. The cast

98
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.159
is universally poor, except a couple
of standouts. Li Jeong Jay I'm hoping

99
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.120
I'm pronouncing that right. That is
the lead from Squid Games. He's a

100
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.159
Jedi here, fucking phenomenal seeing him
as a Jedi, and that you actually

101
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.240
get the sense that he's a decent
Jedi when they're telling a tale where the

102
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.600
Jedi were maybe a little bit iffy. Jonas Junie Sutamo I think that's his

103
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.799
name. He's been playing Chewbacca ever
since Peter Mayhew became too frail to continue

104
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.840
the role. He shows up here
as a Wookie Jedi that we never get

105
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.320
to see in action. Spoiler alert, you never get to see the Wookie

106
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.360
in battle. Now. I'm usually
have a co host here, I mean,

107
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.960
I've got one here with Ripley,
and she's staring at me right now.

108
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.679
But she's really uninterested in everything I've
been talking about. She's more of

109
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.399
a classic cinema girl. But this
is a new experience for me being on

110
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.360
my own, so I enlisted some
aid in the form of HP, the

111
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.519
host of Night Mister Walters, a
taxi podcast, had him drop by so

112
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.600
we can talk about some things that
are current and potentially enjoyable, starting with

113
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:50.600
the trailer for Here, the new
Robert Semechis film, which is if you

114
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.879
haven't seen it, go check it
out on YouTube right now. It is

115
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:00.679
a film. The conceit is that
the camera is locked down from prehistoric times

116
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.720
up until a house is built,
and then we're basically watching the lives of

117
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.039
a family played here by Tom Hanks
and Robin Wright. It's a Forrest Gump

118
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.120
reunion, and I hope it's filled
with all the same emotion and all the

119
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:20.159
tongue clucking at the underground social movements
of the time. Hey Dad, I

120
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.639
couldn't meet Margaret. It's nice to
meet you, Margaret. Nice to meet

121
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:31.919
you, mister young Tom. Sure
does want to do that. Sure does

122
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:41.120
take a straight to stronger course to
the corner of be Live made through White

123
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:54.759
Queenland. So fast she hasn't got
time to make you this time. It's

124
00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:11.919
time time with your time business.
Right here is where we want to be.

125
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.559
You know, if you like,
you could spend the rest of the

126
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:46.159
night here. I could spend the
rest of my life here. This was

127
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:56.440
our home. We lived here.
Anyway, Here is me and HP.

128
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.519
I have seen the trailer for the
fucking movie, right, and I would

129
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.960
liken it to the Walt Disney World
Carousel of Progress, but that had a

130
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.879
lot more motion in it. Well, here it's a fucking stage play,

131
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.240
man, it is, But I, for whatever reason, I'm now it's

132
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.279
based on a graphic novel. I
don't know if you knew that is the

133
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.200
graphic novel one panel only, but
well, yeah, well it takes place

134
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:31.440
in this house and it kind of
cuts back between like really prehistory and I

135
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.000
haven't gotten I haven't read the whole
thing all the way through. But that's

136
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.759
understand that this isn't something that Samchis
and Eric Roth came up with on their

137
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.960
own. Okay, this is an
adaptation. Now, I now like the

138
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.120
movie even less. How about that. I'm look, I'm looking forward to

139
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.200
it. I I'm definitely going to
see it, you know, me,

140
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.919
I love Robert Samakis. I think
he's a fucking great filmmaker. I wouldn't

141
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.039
call him a genius anymore. I
wouldn't say he's like like a fucking you

142
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.080
know whatever, but like he's been
stumbling a lot the past twenty five years.

143
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.639
Fair, I'm always looking for a
good one from him, but there's

144
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:13.559
something about every one of them that's
just off, Like the man used to

145
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.480
make classics. No, I don't
disagree with you, but I can tell

146
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:22.879
I recently I was rewatching The Forrest
Gump. You can say whatever you want

147
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.799
about politically what that movie means.
I still think it's very effective. I'm

148
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:33.000
still brush. It still gets dusty
for me when he's at Jenny's grave.

149
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.840
I'm just I'm sensitive about that.
I don't know. It always affects me,

150
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.240
and I get the sense that this
is going to push a lot of

151
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.879
those same buttons. I mean,
clearly, by the end of this whole

152
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.120
thing, his wife has Alzheimer's or
something, and he's bringing her back to

153
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.039
this house where you've seen all of
this stuff happened. Yep, yep,

154
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.440
I get it. I'm sure I
will be manipulated, but I'm ready for

155
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.879
that. I kind of want to
you're ready for the master manipulator that is

156
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.360
Robertson meck I mean, I'm intrigued, and I like, there's something about

157
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.759
the young Tom Hanks that reminds me
of Mazes and Monsters. Maybe that's got

158
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.399
to be irrationally excited to see it. Tom Hanks and his friends get caught

159
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.639
up in a deadly game of fantasy. I am the control until they take

160
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.360
it too far. I propose we
played Mazes and Masters in a real setting.

161
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.960
It won't be a head too bad
for one of them, because now

162
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:37.480
there's no turning back. This is
only a game. Somebody Mazes and Monsters,

163
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.559
you know, would you be more
I would be more excited if Robertson

164
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.639
Mackus remade Mazes and Monsters and did
a deaged Tom Hanks and then we get

165
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.840
his version of that story. Wouldn't
that be awesome? Tell me that wouldn't

166
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.720
be fucking great? Actually, you
know, I was joking a second ago,

167
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.679
But now that I think about it, if it's playing with fantasy worlds

168
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:08.159
and dungeons and dragons and madness and
all these kind of and and well,

169
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.919
yeah, I mean, look now
I just like this idea as a movie,

170
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.720
and we don't necessarily need a dh
Tom Hanks, but that would that

171
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.080
would be the extra cherry on Tom. It would be I want to see

172
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.399
the return of Pardue the Holy Man
with his bag of spells squaring off against

173
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.679
Kevin Peter Hooks in a goblin costume. Absolutely, and then you know his

174
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.720
vision of like going to heaven.
It's basically just like a drainage pipe that

175
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.039
that they've that they've white lit on
one end? Was it the Great Hall?

176
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.480
That's where he's going to know?
The tower? The Tower? Well?

177
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.840
No, but but but he keeps
talking about the Great Hall and they

178
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.919
figure out it's because his brother's name
was Hall. Oh, he's trying to

179
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.759
go back to find his I see, I remember everything about this movie.

180
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:56.440
I love this movie. That's crazy. I love What's funny, HB is

181
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.360
when was the last time you watched
it? I don't know, a couple

182
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.919
of years. Probably I watched it
last year, and you know you remember

183
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:07.000
it better than I do. I
loved it. Have you seen The Acolyte?

184
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.559
I have not. I was actually
thinking I haven't seen anything on Disney

185
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.279
Plus and forever? Is it any
good? No? I thought you were

186
00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.839
gonna say that it's really good.
No, that's not good, absolutely not.

187
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.319
The guy from Squid Game is like, this is a Jedi in it?

188
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.359
The guy from South Korean, Yeah, he's great, cool, he's

189
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.039
great, like as a Jedi,
fantastic. Everything else about the show is

190
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.759
fucking nonsense. It's set up as
a mystery. There's only like six characters.

191
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.839
There's a character who has not been
revealed but keeps showing up in a

192
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.319
mask. Yet we've only been introduced
to six characters. Do you think one

193
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:56.160
of the six characters that we've met
could possibly be in that mask? I

194
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.200
would put money on that if I
was a betting man. Sure. As

195
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.119
it turns out and it's one of
those six characters, they just revealed it

196
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.720
in the latest episode. Oh my
god. Yeah. It seems like every

197
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.400
new Star Wars TV show is touted
as like, Okay, this one is

198
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.759
going to redefine Star Wars. This
is forget about that, you know,

199
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.119
the Force awakens and all that nonsense. This is really going to be and

200
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.240
it never is. Like Obi Wan
was okay, the Mandalorian got bad,

201
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.960
Boba Fett was terrible. So I've
lost faith that in any of this really,

202
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.559
But Andor was great. I didn't
watch, and you should watch,

203
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.279
and it's the only one you should
have watched. As it turns out,

204
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.960
I'm telling you watch and or it's
I will. It's remarkable. It is

205
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.720
the adult star Wars we were promised
in nineteen eighty three. By the way,

206
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.160
have you had a chance to watch
that Andrew McCarthy movie Bratts? Of

207
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.440
course I did. If you were
coming of age in the nineteen eighties,

208
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:02.559
the brat Pack was near the center
of your cultural awareness. But for those

209
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.000
of us experiencing it from the inside, the broad Pack was something very different.

210
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.599
On June tenth, nineteen eighty five, New York Magazine published Hollywood's brat

211
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:21.559
Pack. I just remember seeing that
cover and thinking, oh. From then

212
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.920
on, my career and the career
of everyone who was involved was branded to

213
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.839
the brad Packer. And he not
interested in talking about the brad Pack.

214
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.160
For years, I turned everything down. How can we're talking to me because

215
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.079
you called me? It was time
that we cleared the air In a couple

216
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.759
names, I love your stuff,
Hey, thank you. I hated the

217
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:45.200
brad Pack for a decade. What
a disaster. If you could have the

218
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:52.480
brad Pack name not exist, would
you yeah, I liked it. I

219
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:57.119
liked it too, I only ended
up feeling bad for Emilio Estimator. Well,

220
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.440
he was the only one who genuine
seemed apprehensive and kind of waylaid by

221
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.160
the whole thing. Like he didn't
really say a whole heck of a lot,

222
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.319
he was just kind of, I
don't know. He seemed very discomfited

223
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:14.839
by the whole thing. He seems
like the guy who was actually working at

224
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.920
it and building a decent career.
And he's the one that brat Pack derailed.

225
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.960
Everyone else either ended up fine or
ended up exactly where they were going

226
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:29.759
to be anyway, except for the
US dives well and the fact that the

227
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.720
article was really about him in the
first place. Yeah was, and he

228
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.200
seems wounded by it still, like
everyone else is like, ha haha,

229
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.319
remember those days, Brad back blah
blah blah. I mean, the rest

230
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.440
of us still seems like he's fucking
hurt. Yeah, no, well he

231
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.839
and Andrew, did you read McCarthy's
book. Incidentally, I had read it,

232
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.799
I don't know, a couple of
years ago. It's not bad.

233
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.640
It's not bad. I'm sure it's
fine. I have no interest in Andrew

234
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:00.359
McCarthy. I learned a lot about
him, a lot that I didn't know

235
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.480
about it. I thought it was
fairly interesting. But anyway, he because

236
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.720
he alludes a lot of the movie, he alludes to his upbringing and the

237
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.559
fact that he was kind of a
dropout and that kind of affected his worldview

238
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:17.400
and his view of his career and
how he approached things. Anyway, I

239
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.359
like the movie. I thought it
was I thought it was good. It

240
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.480
wasn't what I had expected from the
advertising. But anyway, Yeah, we're

241
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:30.960
not here to talk about Andrew McCarthy
or the missing Judd Nelson or was he

242
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:34.559
really missing? I I mean,
I know that I don't miss him.

243
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:41.119
Yeah, I see there. There
there's a little soft spot for I have

244
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.279
for him because of him being in
Fandango. To hear Anthony mole Hall on

245
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:52.799
the fucking David Spade Show. No
he but no, he's not but heard

246
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.039
at all. He feels great.
He's you know, he's out there working

247
00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:56.759
man. He's been working all along, like he had that fucking Dead Zone

248
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.000
series and ship like he's just a
work an actor. He was in Edward

249
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.519
Scissorhands. Yeah, exactly, he's
been doing it. Yeah, I tell

250
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:07.640
the story about that. Actually,
he was like, I walked into the

251
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:11.960
meeting and Tim Burton was just so
delighted that I looked so different than he

252
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.640
had last seen me, as like
a tiny geek, like I was this

253
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:17.440
giant, fucking jock, and he
was like, oh, okay, I'll

254
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.640
put him in the movie. He
was supposed to be the lead in Full

255
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:26.319
Metal Jacket. Kubrick called him and
said, you're the most original actor since

256
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.640
Jack Nicholson. I want you to
be in this movie. Why is Anthony

257
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.359
Michael Halm not in the movie?
Did he explain why? Yes, The

258
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:41.640
negotiations, which lasted ten months,
were he was basically, and this is

259
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.000
actually kind of understandable, he was
basically going to get paid no more than

260
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.640
he had been getting paid as an
actor, even though this was the moment

261
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.079
that he was supposed to go for
a big payday in a big role,

262
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:59.039
right, and during the time period
for shooting, which was no less than

263
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.559
a year, he could have done
it two or three movies and made triple

264
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:08.799
that, you know, So he
was trying to negotiate time, I think,

265
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.519
and Krubrick is sort of unforgiving when
it comes to that, sure,

266
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:22.599
but I mean it's a chance at
immortality. Yeah, uh yeah, I

267
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.400
mean, I mean, I'm I'm
sure he regrets it. It's the last

268
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.119
Georgy great Stanley Kubrick movie. All
Right, I want to thank HP for

269
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.480
dropping by and help me out here
in this inaugural episode. No, I'm

270
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:36.599
not going to make a habit out
of it. Yes, you're the co

271
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.200
host. Sorry, Okay, moving
on, and I guess that brings us

272
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:45.359
to my latest obsession. This one
also can be found on Amazon Prime.

273
00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.839
I'm a little late to this one, so forgive me. I'm only on

274
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:51.960
the first season. The second season
apparently dropped at the beginning of May.

275
00:23:52.319 --> 00:24:00.720
I'm talking about Outer Range. I
want to pray for the Supper. Dear

276
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:14.839
God, we pray for our family. When us that you forgive us,

277
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:22.480
when as that you show us the
way here, cause we're in trouble and

278
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.799
they made this crazy world. So
maybe you can give us some sort of

279
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:32.400
hint as to what you're up to, cause I don't have the first fucking

280
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.440
clue. There is a big distance
between you and us. There's a great

281
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.279
void, and I'm asking you to
fill that void. I'm asking you to

282
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:47.880
fill that void. I'm asking you
to come down here and explain yourself,

283
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.480
because this world of years isn't quot
adding up man, there is a great

284
00:24:51.720 --> 00:25:08.599
void. The outer range is a
neo Western I guess we could call it.

285
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:17.599
Taking Place in Wyoming stars Josh Brolin, stars Josh Brolin, Imagen Poots,

286
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.799
what an unfortunate name. She's great, though literly Taylor, Tom Pelfrey,

287
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.160
and Louis Pullman. While most of
those are the Abbot's, Imagen Poots

288
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.640
is a sort of hippie wanderer who
has settled on their land at like I

289
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:36.799
said, takes place in Wyoming on
a ranch where the western pasture just happens

290
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:41.240
to have a giant circular hole in
the ground that nobody has discovered except for

291
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.599
our lead, Josh Brolin. What's
down that hole? Who knows? It

292
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.559
is an episode? Rather, it
is a series kind of worthy of Lost,

293
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.720
and that it keeps defying expectation at
the end of every episode. I'm

294
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:57.119
totally obsessed with it. I've loved
Josh Brolin forever and ever. I gotta

295
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.839
say this is the series that my
girlfriend when I my girlfriend andber and I

296
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.480
were watching it and she turned and
said, Wow, I never knew he's

297
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.880
a really good actor. So there
you go. Go check it out for

298
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.680
Josh Bullin alone. But it is
eerie and weird and thoughtful so far.

299
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.759
Like I said, you might have
a greater knowledge of it than me,

300
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.920
But if you're in my boat,
I'm telling you the first four episodes so

301
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.759
far have been fucking phenomenal. Got
four more to go. I've heard that

302
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.599
the quality drops off in the second
season, but I do not give a

303
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.880
shit because most of those people don't
know what they're talking about. Witness the

304
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.079
second season of Millennium. Every anyone
remember that show. Lance Hendrickson as a

305
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.400
psychic who could tap into the mind
of serial killers, but turns out in

306
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.279
the second season that being able to
see through the eyes of the serial killers

307
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.279
only one of Frank Black's gifts.
Turns out he's more tied into prophecy and

308
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.480
how the world is actually going to
end. And everyone said that that season

309
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:55.160
fell apart. Disagree. It surpassed
that first season, and it certainly kicked

310
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.359
the ass of that bullshit backtracking third
season they did. I don't think Millennium

311
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.359
is available for streaming anywhere right now, but god damn it, go watch

312
00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:06.960
a Millennium season two. If you
can't reminded me a lot of Outer Range,

313
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:10.599
And you know, we don't get
too many Westerns, certainly not enjoyable

314
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:15.119
ones, but throw a little bit
of sci fi and time travel and all

315
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.000
sorts of assorted weirdness that you get
out of Range. Should point out the

316
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.000
show was created by Brian Watkins,
and he was the showrunner for the first

317
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.160
season. Apparently left at the end
might account for some of the grumbling about

318
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.480
season two. I guess they are
currently in limbo as far as the season

319
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.240
three, the show hasn't been canceled, but it also hasn't been renewed.

320
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:37.319
But that's nothing new from Amazon Prime
anyway. I'm hoping that the quality maintains.

321
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.359
I hope I'm not steering you in
the wrong direction. This is one

322
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:44.599
that I think we can all enjoy
together. Outer Range on Amazon Prime.

323
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:49.240
Check it out. And now it's
time for Ripley's Picks. Ripley's Pickle's I

324
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:52.960
Don't Know. It's a classic film. It's available on Netflix right now.

325
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.079
One. If you haven't seen you
definitely should, and if you have,

326
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:02.200
you should watch it again. In
this game, what with the imminent release

327
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.039
of Beverly Hills Cop axl F.
I'm gonna encourage. Actually, I'm not

328
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.480
encouraging. It's Ripley right rip,
there you go. She is recommending Beverly

329
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.039
Hills cop. It is available on
Netflix right now. If you haven't seen

330
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.559
it in forever, go watch it
immediately. This is Eddie Murphy at the

331
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:27.200
absolute height of his power, proving
what a fucking charming and wholly new action

332
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:37.880
hero for the nineteen eighties for all
time. Really, do you a good

333
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:48.319
cople And look, we're talking about
a friend of mine here. Let's take

334
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.640
a close look at that one.
A hutlum friend to a professional hit.

335
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.079
How do you know what was a
professional hit? Let me tell you something

336
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:02.680
excellent. These guys out in LA
they're all independents. They go out,

337
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:04.880
they do this thing. They don't
ask anybody's permission. And you're gonna go

338
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:10.359
out there to try to find Mikey's
killers. Excellently, you're out of the

339
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:14.000
league. Check it in today,
sir. That depends this hotel. Real,

340
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:19.200
it's passive. It's two hundred and
thirty five dollars a day. Fine,

341
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:29.319
what's the charge session of a concealed
weapon? Sturbing the piece? Sister

342
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:32.960
of the piece? I got thrown
out of a window. This is the

343
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.839
cleanest and nicest police car I've ever
seen in my life. This thing's nice

344
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.440
in my apartment. Everybody free.
You don't hand on the title? Wow,

345
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:47.119
what's wrong man? What's on the
hofday? Contact me? Wo' you

346
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:59.880
doing all this? Good? Mag
Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills come coming from

347
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:06.799
Paramount. This started out as a
Sylvester Stallone vehicle. You can certainly see

348
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.559
that in the third act, which
remains pretty much unchanged from the original screenplay.

349
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.359
But once Eddie Murphy came on,
it became an entirely different animal,

350
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:21.039
a much more enjoyable animal. The
other major factor involved here is Martin Brest,

351
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:25.000
who is a filmmaker who never gets
enough credit. He made the perfect

352
00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:30.119
action film in Midnight Run, just
about a year or two after Beverly Hills

353
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.119
Cop did not come back for Beverly
Hills Cop too. If you're a big

354
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.319
fan of Tony Scott and what he
wropped upon the world with the Jerry Bruckheimer

355
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:44.519
Don Simpson style of filmmaking, then
you know, certainly after you watch this

356
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.680
one, I believe that one's available
too. You can check that one out.

357
00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:49.319
I'm not a fan of that one's
certainly not a fan of the third

358
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.519
one, which is crushing to me
because that one was directed by John Landis,

359
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:59.599
who has no business turning in anything
mediocre. The man made American Werewolf

360
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:02.960
in London and the greatest werewolf movie
of all time. If you have a

361
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.599
problem with that, I don't care. You're wrong. But Beverly Hills Cop

362
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:14.880
is still to this day incredibly funny, incredibly charming, incredibly brutal. One

363
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.599
forgets just how brutal some of the
scenes are in that film. It is

364
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:23.039
definitely a cop movie with a comedic
character involved. Also, his boss in

365
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.359
Detroit is played by an actual Detroit
Detroit policeman who apparently ran for mayor at

366
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.720
one point and didn't win, which
I'm so disappointed in the people of Detroit

367
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:36.720
for not voting for Axel Foley's boss
as as their mayor. You damn right

368
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:40.160
wise, ass. The mayle called
a chief, the chief called a debuity

369
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.680
chief. The debuty chief just chewed
my ass out. You see, I

370
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.279
don't have any bit of it left, don't you. I certainly would have

371
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.720
voted for him anyway. It is
near close to a perfect film, and

372
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.839
even if it's not perfect, it
is one enjoyable time. That's a pretty

373
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:59.279
good pick. Rip Gee, I
think I've talked enough and you've indulged me

374
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.400
