percent of them are bombs, but ten percent are not. In film school,
these movies are called blockbusters, but there's a better term for how they're
made. X Files Join Mac in the gang as they explore the dark secrets

getting it's getting closer to the middle of his head. Normally it's short enough.
I don't have to worry about a part he's going. He's going to
have to part with it as we As some people say in the South,
I'm fixing to get a haircut. Okay, Okay, listen, I just
want to say this before you introduce anyone else. The pod is at least
half an inch closer to the middle of his head. Okay, what's it
going to look like a bullet grazed him. That's how perfect the pod is.
Okay, And I think it's just the squirrel is on the wrong way.
Can you adjust that a little bit to the anyway. Also with us

sun across. That's fakes you having a let's path. And it's a good
thing. I can't reach into the zoom and back hand. Anyways, you

it looks like I'm looking at a mirror. Well at you can see

So tonight is the first edition ever maybe the last, of Mcaloney's Hollywood X
Files. Okay, Hollywood is a weird place. There's a lot of weird
stories and they have a lot of shitty new movies. Right, So tonight
we're just going to be talking about movies because we're all big fans of movies
and we all kind of know our stuff. So that's what we're doing tonight.
But to kick things off, to pull the pin out of the here,
we have a top ten Top ten. Okay, Raven has it.
And let me see if I remember in the bump of that Pete I did.
He basically says, one of the biggest mysteries is how come you know
Quentin Tarantino? Is you know anybody that he's a punk? Right? So
tonight the top ten reasons Quentin Tarantino is a punk? Okay, one one
should be laughing, but he's not. He looks pissed. Now listen,
I know you're a big fan. Is why what you can't take it?
There, Lily Pad, he can't take it? Let's see, Okay,
don't I don't mean to offend you are? Okay? All right? Well
I hit a nerve there this yeah, okay, I believe. So it's
top ten reasons why Quentin Tarantino is a punk. It's not the music.
Please rave it please? Number ten? All right? Number ten? His
quote unquote street name is Q tip, and a recent gallupol indicated that when
ninety percent of Americans think of Q tips, they think of clumps of dirty,
bloody earwax or something that has to be applied anally. Yes, that's
number ten. Really number nine, please right, comet it hot number nine.
Every time he speaks, he sounds like he has in his mouth.
Well he does not. What does that sound like? Exactly? Listen to
him? And he interviewed Number eight please raven Number eight. His parents named
him after Quentin Crisp, the notoriously flamboyant British funny man who once said,
I always thought Princess Diana was such trash. She got what she deserved.
WHOA how an't you possible to be a fan of that guy? Nice?
Number seven? Please? Top ten reasons why Quenton tan and t Quentin tint
what's his name? Quentin Tarantino, Tarantinos? Thank you? One woman is
a punk? Next number seven. He spent an entire week in smoking hash
in a French mansion with Brad Pitt. Two days later, Angelia Jolie filed
for divorce. You do the math, get the true stor you know that
one? That's how they wrote the script to Gloria's Bastards where they spelled bastards
wrong. Come on, he's a next perk. I'm pretty sure that was
done on purpose. Raven. You don't. You don't know that nice?
I don't, okay. Number six h He once said, quote when people
ask me if I went to film school, I tell them no, I
went to films. End quote. What more proof do you need? The
school went to say that? Right? And it is one of his famous
quotes. That's so pretentious. Next, please Rave, number five work about
it. Yeah, yeah, that's also pretentious. Thanks, Raven. Please.
He once admitted to spitting on Uma Thurman for a scene in a movie,
but later claimed it was respectful. Did you ever hear that story?
This? This, this stuff is based on true stuff. I think I
have kill Bill. You need to hear you spit on her toes to polish
him. No, No, that's number four. Hang on. He he
got Onma Thurman too. I never saw kill Bill, but I guess there's
a content where he has this history of violence against women in his movies.
That's just his mocks, okay. And he has her a chained around the
neck with a chain in some kind of scene, right, and no one
wanted to spit and Bill kill Bill, I think kill Bill. One.
No one wanted to spit in her face. So he went up and spit
in her face. You know, it completely is not in the script or
anything, but it's another way to kind of you know the grade the woman
charac. You know, he's like one of these guys you know, and
and and okay, next please right number four. He once told actress Rose
McGowan in front of witnesses that he repeatedly masturbated the footage of her feet.
Okay, listen, we all have a little ego, you know what I
mean, We all have a little badges, right, but this guy is
insane. One one you have to who wants to insane. He has a
foot fetter. So we got to watch five minutes of the woman playing Sharon
Pate walk down the freaking you know, a minute would be fine. High
White, I'm in love with Margaret Ruby. Well, there's literally a scene
and from Dusk Till Dawn where Samahayak pours tequila down her leg and he casts
himself as the guy that drinks it off of her toes. See that's weird,
dude, I mean, I mean there's literally Fell defends me kill Bill
is one of them? Next please? Number three? Yes? Number three?
He bet Kansas City, I bet the Chiefs. He's a win him
in the whole world doing can next please? Man? Number two? Number
two? He's going to do what the He's going to do what the Klingons,
the Romillions, Romulans, and the borg weren't able to do. Destroy
Star Trek. He's going to direct the next track movie. Is that right?
That's going to be as a so called final movie. He's timing five
years too. That's scary? Is that true? Switching? You would know
that, right? Is it true? You know? I heard a room
right. I don't know if it's true. I can't he signed. Yeah.
I think a lot of people. I think he's guy. Yeah,
I heard that. I heard that. He'll ruin it, absolutely absolutely ruin
it. He will take it from me. He will. And it's going
to be all alien feet and seven toes. It's gonna be. You'll have
Harrison for playing Bob Felt American Raffiti and raise somebody exactly. Okay, here
we go, Tom Ten reasons why Clinton Tarantina was a punk? Like we
need ten reasons but we're the last one, right right, Yeah, so
this is the last one, and I don't like this one all right.
The number one reason Quentin Tarantino was a punk He likes cats. If we
give everything else, okay, well, before we get off this, can
I just add something yes, glorious? Yes. According to Tarantino, the
reason he spelled it that way is because that's the way it's pronounced. Really.
Yeah, Okay, so I'm from Boston. I can I can start
spelling ship anyway I want? Pocking? Is p a h K? I
kind of guy. Yeah, you know, you know, I'm sorry,
he's one of these guys who knows I had one quin. I went in
there about it, got on and on. I couldn't remember the name of
the what's the puppet movie? Switchy America? You bet? What is it?
America? Yeah? Yeah, one of the funniest movies ever made,
ever made? Yes, right, and there was gonna be like, you
know, his career static, just like the puppet in the in the Broadery,
producer in the alley and the limo remember that pot. Okay, anyway,
we should do a whole show on that movie. That's one of the
funniest. It's puppets. It's all puppets. Have you ever seen it now?
Yes? I have, yes, a long time ago, and I
remember a lot of it goes way back after watching it. I saw that
in theaters. Uh when I was in high school. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, it goes back. But I'll tell you there are five people who
should sue those guys. It's a self pop guysgeed like times Judge Coloney should
take those guys to the bank because he just is just the worst and ripped
Hollywood unbelievable. It's so funny. Every scene is funny, and then they
have this unbelievably wrong sex scene. It's kind of like they could use that
for an instruction video. I think I can't I can't even say what they're
doing to each other, but the Poppets. I think what Matt is trying
to say is, if you've never seen Team America pop an edible or you
know, get drunk about it and then just put it on, I get
silly because it's so funny. I mean, you're just gonna howl. It's
so funny. Those guys are especially funny for those of us that grew up
with some of those Marionette shows. Yeah yeah, oh yeah. First one
Supercar, oh yeah, yeah, I can white Mike Mercury, you know,
yep, and then most of the other ones that followed you have to
be too old to watch. But still even again, you watch the Thunderbirds
now and you marvel at the models in the sets they had for that incredible
I'm gonna throw a uh, I throw a little bit of a a fact
to one one everyone. So the Thunderbirds were made by I think is ATV
made a lot of those puppet adventure stuff, right, the British company,
and they recorded a certain cod in stry Do. I think it's in Brighton,
which is Neil, London. I'm assuming pout of London. Uh.
The Thunderbirds would get through with their all their all their audio stuff, and
the Who went in there and would record their albums. So the early Who
albums were recorded in the same place where they recorded the audio for the Thunderbirds,
and they were always crossing. They knew each other and knew the puppeteers.
Yeah, yep, I watched all of those shows, man, I
watched all those shows. It was great. I was like twenty at the
time, But I don't remember the Thunderbirds at all, don't think. Yeah,
yeah, they had these big later Yeah, but what was it?
Who was it? But he had what was a supercar? Wasn't even the
first supercar was the first one, and he could fly also go underneath the
water. He had a great, great song in the beginning. And then
there were other ones that came sting ray was one underwater stuff yea, what
else? Captain wasn't Captain Scarlet or something? Yeah? They lost I never
really saw that one. Hm hmm, yeah it was interesting. Yeah pop
oh Fireball XL five Oh yeah, oh ship, Yeah I used to they
were on that was on Saturday mornings. Yeah yeah, that was a real
sci fi great song. Yeah yeah, real sci fi, real out there
kind of space opera. That was what I used to watch that all the
time. I mean they had a robot and they had a blonde babe.
You know, they had a blonde robbit and they had a blonde puppet man.
She could have been a Team America. Yeah yes, if she had
sunk that low, maybe you know, her career is not going in and
her name was Venus Yeah yeah, huh wow, bringing back memories that probably
don't want so anyway, Steve Steve Zodiac was the guy Fireball XL five.
Okay, you know it's awesome. That's a sweet name. So here's my
confession. See, and this is a different kind of show. So half
the Fireball, what was it x five Fireball XCEL five Okay, it was
the Sherry Lewis show. Lamb TP yeah once says Lamb Chop. Okay,
I was in love with her. I was in love with Sherry Lewis when
I was in the freaking crib. I'm not kidding you, okay. And
she had Lamb Chop on top of it, and its three even more adorable.
You know. I who kids about land Tramp. He used to just
watch her and there's just something about her wash, you know, just something
about her. So years later I'd make this confession one night, told my
brother and his wife just ha ha, And I think that next Christmas they
got a Lamb Chop doll. But I guess they put I don't know something.
They gave it to their dog. They have like a little yeah,
the times ripped in a pot in front of me. My nieces every criz
devastated. My niece bought one of those Lamb Chop dolls for her husky and
the drug you should destroy He never heard he used to carry lamb chop around,
wouldn't you never? He never destroyed it. Interesting, he was really
enamored with lamb troup. Say some time that you know talking about Sherry Lewis.
Yes, that was your first orgasm. All I can say I used
to use the no no, no, no no Sherry spear, hang on,
hang on, wait wait. We don't need any sticky lamb chops.
All I had was mackett, a little macket, your hand out of your
diapers. That's the that's my mother's voice ringing in my ear. He had
the lamp drop puppet. But I'm gonna say, Mac, you're absolved.
Not a bad idea, not a bad idea. Club. But it wasn't
lamb chop. Everyone says a slam chop. But I thought she was beautiful.
I thought she was like a beautiful woman. And then she went on
for a long time. She always she had different kinds of shows. She's
like four foot ten or something. She's very small, of every kind of
petape. But man, I don't know that was my first Yeah, did
it for me any anyway? And then came Ellie May right, she changed
everything. You ain't get a whole different paradigm going on there, Donna Douglas.
Anyway, why don't we do this, Why don't we climb down,
take a cold shower, and the commercial break and we'll be write back.
This is the first edition of Mac Maloney's Hollywood Exiles. The whole gang is
here. Please stay tune. Hey mc maloney fans, this is Pistol p
and I'm sitting here with the one and only Mac Maloney. Hi, Mac,
I paid Now. Mac, You've got a new book out called How
to Dump a Body at Sea and Not Get Caught that you wrote with our
pal, famous crime novelist Mark Zapula. How did this whole thing come about?
Well, Mack and I have this mutual friend that we would go out
having beers with every once in a while, and he has the same twenty
stories that he would tell us kind of over and over again, and at
some point I said, you know, we should write these down, and
we did and it turned into a book. It's such a crazy title.
How'd you come up with it? Well, kind of the same thing.
We're in talking to this friend of oz one night and he just said,
you don't how to get rid of a body. Sea and I get taught,
and of course we didn't know, and so he told us. And
the secret is in the book. But I can say that it involves a
lot of chainling fence and some crabs. Al Mack, you gave me an
advanced copy of the book, and like I said before, it's one of
the funniest things I've ever read. It reminded me of the Sopranos, if
the Sopranos had a laugh track. Thanks pet. But it also gives you
instructions on how to do some pretty shady stuff, stuff not exactly legal.
Well. Yeah, the book is about the true life adventures of a druvenile
de Linklin, grown up in Boston in the late nineteen eighties, so you
get a lot of the inside stuff, like the best way to steal a
car, the best way to burn a car, how to make fake IDs,
things like that. But in one chapter you actually tell people how to
turn an old, broken down Toyota into a brand new Rolls Royce in five
easy steps. And it actually works. Yeah. I know it sounds great.
I didn't believe until I saw the proof, but yes, it actually
works. Now, one last question, there's a lot of laughs in the
book, but also a lot of pretty crazy stuff legal and illegal. Is
it really all true? It's really all true, but on the advice of
publisher, they've asked us not the same thing beyond that for legal reason.
But yes, it is all true. Well, thanks Mac. That's how
to dump a body at sea and not get caught, the Al Ferrari story
by Mac and crime writer Mark Zippula. Get it today on Amazon. Well,

Has anyone come forward and wanted to take Willie's job? Not yet.
If I'm getting thrown into the bus, you're coming wild. Okay, that's
okay. Well, anyways, ID want to say, you know, one
of the things about tonight, I was thinking about it. Remember Ed Sullivan,
you bet wote him. We've got a really big shoe through the big
shoe. Yeah, sixty years ago the Beatles first, the Beatles first appear
on net Sullivan sixty years ago my birthday and uh yeah, beetle day now
they call it. That changed everything for me. That's sixty four. Yeah,
that's the that's the musical X Files. But yeah, and so anyway,
also with us seeing the best of last, let me paint the picture
once again. Celebrity glasses got the one one hand on with the with the
ball on the top, pom pom pom and yeah, and then the heir,
the Elvira hair I could remember the name fab Witch up there in sideways
and you're like, Raven, how are you hi, my friends, I'm
doing great. I'm really excited. I've been looking forward to this all day.
I think we all had a six pack up in that that space in
your hat. Wow, Yeah, there's there's some beers up here. That's
where I keep the extras. I must say, i'd keep nips up there,
but it might be misconscured. Listen. So what we're going to do
tonight is because as you know, I went to film school one one right,
yes, and it seems like I don't like any movies. But that's
not true. So I said, just everyone, come up with one or
two movies that you knew, you know, I will hate, and we
can discuss them. Okay, we can discuss I will say this. I
want to have an opening preamblo. Okay. I don't think every movie is
terrible. There's a lot of really good movies out there. But the fact
is is that there's so many movies that, you know, ninety seven of
them really kind of not good, you know, and Hollywood does go they
do make so so movies. You know, they don't intentionally make bad movies,
but they intentionally make so so movies. You know, they give Adam
samer or a million bucks. He gets his friends together, makes a movie
for ten million, it makes thirty million. I mean, everyone makes didn't
make twenty million dollars. I mean, it's the economics of it, and
it's not hilarious. It sucks, but people will just go and see them
because it's those guys so I came up with three movies real quick that I
think really good movies. And you've heard me say this before, really good
movies. Okay, yeah, I mean close to perfect movies to put the
bad and the ugly. He is my favorite movie of all time. That
movie has every element that you want in a movie. First of all,
it has an ending. Okay, has an ending that's worth the wait for.
Okay. The whole movie is about these three guys who want to find
gold, and they're looking for this very gold in the middle of the Civil
War. Basically what happens, and they keep running into the Civil Waucky screwing
them up, you know, from finding the gold. It's just a great
movie. Anyo Morricone does the soundtrack. It's the perfect marriage of a movie
and a soundtrack is nineteen sixty seven Switchy maybe sixty eight, it's that famous
kits. Yeah, and Nio Morricone does the music. And they were they
were like they grew up in Rome, like a block away from Michelm.
I can't say enough about this movie. I'm not a big Clint Eastwood fan,
but once again, any good movie is that you know you have Any
movie has a beginning. But then you every scene, everything, every every
piece of dialogue should build and build and build an ending that's worth waiting for.
Okay, And and the ending of that movie is great, you know,
the three way gun fight in the cemetery and the gold is right there,
school everything that movie. Yeah, it's really good. They called that
genre spaghetti western, called it western. It was the first one, Yeah,
very well, yeah it was. It was the first of spaghetti westerns.
And it was directed by an Italian and it was shot in Spain in
this American so it's kind of like an Italian vision of what American westerns are.
You know. It's second really good movie. And I know Club is
gonna you know moan when he has this big that movie Big where Tom Hanks
big from a kid to an adult back. I hate to say it,
but that's the perfect movie, you know, his career. It it and
you know it starts, you know, and then and the kids are fooling
around and then he you know, they get something from a fortune teller.
He becomes a guy. He becomes but he's still a kid, and he
does everything. He drinks and he's eating caviar. He's like filling up his
the chick and he has all those things that when you're twelve years old you
know, and he does them and but then you know that he's gonna you
know, you want him to come back and be a kid. And that's
what happens. And it's a it's a kind of, as they say,
a small movie, but that's a really good movie. And the third movie
I can think of off the top of my head and real quick is Zulu.
Jersee is Zulu Zulu with the African Yeah, yeah it there's like one
hundred and twenty British soldiers fight off like fifty thousand Zulu warriors, okay,
and it's how they do it. And it's just a really good movie.
Once again, you know you're you're terrified during the whole thing because you say,
how can they possibly win this? And there's so many like instances in
a where it looks like they're gonna fail, that the Ford is gonna fall,
but it doesn't. It's just a really good movie. You know,
Zulum really good. I mean, the tribe all they had were against,
right, gunpowder, everything else. That's why you know, you'd figure that
the good guys were gonna win, but they kept attacking them, so they
were going to run out of ammunition, and then they up the ammunition shed
and I mean, it's one of these things where stuff just keeps going wrong
and they fix it stuff and then you know, in the end they went
not not that the British should have been there in the first place, but
it's a really good movie. In Michael Kaine's one of Michael Kaine's first movies.
And he spent his whole career kind of play guys who are kind of
like, uh, your civil servants, you know what I mean. Definitely
in the you know, not up high a class in the British class system,
but in that movie he played against Tipe and he actually was kind of
like one of these uppercress guys. And just just a really good movie.
Just a really good movie. Anyway. Anyway, I'm gonna start with Raven.
She sent me an emal early says, I think I nailed this.
So the Young Day is up with a couple of movies that you know that
I will not dislike. You think I will dislike. Maybe I'll surprise you.
Okay, all right, so Raven, let's start with you. Let's
clap for her, Let's make it real show busy. Okay, please,
Raven, it's to you. Okay. So first I want to just give
a shout out to my friend Jim. I've been talking to him on Instagram
for a while. He's a big fan of the show. He really enjoyed
last week's episode. So, Hi, Jim, I know that you're listening.
This one's for you, buddy. Where is it? Where is it?
Where's he listening? Frog? By the way, do you know I'm
pretty sure he's a Texas. We can get him out of there if he
wants. Go ahead, and next only Raven does he want my job?
I'll ask him? All right? So I start out with The Uncanny and
this is from nineteen seventy seven. Okay have you seen this movie? Yes?
You have? No? I haven't you know what? Okay, well,
okay, it's a great movie. This is starring Peter Crushing, sorry
Cushing, Une Millan, Joan Greenwood. That's a huge cast, just just
to name a few. Yep. And the basic synopsis of this, I
mean, it's it's shocking comparisons to Max real life. You have this gentleman
Wilburg Gray, who is an author and he goes to visit his publisher,
this guy named Frank Richards, And all throughout, like this beginning part,
he's walking wherever I think they're in Canada in the beginning, and he keeps
seeing cats everywhere, and they're just like the shadows. They're like walking on
like little stone fences around him, and he's like visibly shook by these cats.
So as the movie progresses, you find out that this guy Wilbur has
been writing these I would consider them conspiracy theory books. Basically, I'm not
even kidding, laying out how people have been murdered by cats. Yes,
hang on, go ahead, So this is right from IMDb. This is
just the storyline. So we have WILB. Gray. He goes to visits
publisher. This book Gray has written is about cats, cats watching everyone and
controlling everything. He mentions that the stories in the book are all true and
gives three examples. And that's really cool. The three examples, they're all
like these flashbacks, and I mean, this movie is really interesting, like
it'll fly by. The first involves the murder of a cat loving old woman
who gives her entire fortune in her will to her cats. Not everyone is
happy about the will, but they would have to get past the cats to
get the will. The second story is a tale of black magic between two
girls, and the third story is a tale of murderous revenge by a cat.
I'm gonna see that. He is excellent. I'm sorry, you guys
need to watch it. I watched it for free on two V. All
right, I have a watch it, and I'm watching the trailer now.
Looks pretty good. It's very good. And I was like, NAC will
love this, obviously, obviously, Okay, okay, let's go to Do
you have another movie we'll come to later. I do. We can come
back to me. Let's go to Club. I would hate it because it
involves cats. Yes, there's literally like probably two hundred cats. I'm not
even kidding a little bit. A lot of cat extras are hired for this
movie. Yeah, they're all so cute too, and they're so well to
hate. It's also about members of the union. Also also right if who
wants to kill his publisher? So that's real life club. Yes, Sarah,
do you have a movie that you think I'll hate? I do.
I have one that you'll hate and one that you like. Do you want
me to just do the one you'll hate? Right now, Yeah, right
now. Sure the theme is consistent I think when it comes to you and
mine is also cats again, okay, I see now, both of my
movies are what we call the classic drive in movies. Since we have a
lot of people at age differences and people from out of the US, I
just wanted to let our listeners know that when we use the term drive in
movies. Back in the fifties and a thing came up where you could go
and watch movies instead of in the movie house. You could actually drive your
car into a field where there was a big screen probably twenty by forty feet
in size that they projected the current movies that you would also see in the
in the theater, and they were called the drive in theaters. They had
concession stands like you have in a movie in the house. They had toilets,
and they also have a little playground you watch, you watch the movie
waited in front of the screen movies, you watch the movie from till dark
passion. So anyways, just so people are familiar with what we say when
we say driving movies, right, and they have these speaker posts where you
put the speaker speak. That's how you diffet to put the speaker back when
you drove off right. You know, it was great And in my time
frame there, you know a lot of us were at the age where we
were dating and we forgot these movies were were great for dates because it was
cheaping there for a bucket, peace right, you know, And so it
was a big date thing. Now for me. The movie I'm going to
talk about now is there what we call a horror uh comedy okay, And
it goes back, you know to that time. Now. I never really
liked horror movies then, but I had an outtereou motive. Yes, I
figured I take a date in there. She did so horror for this movie.
She'd wanted distraction. Wow, So then you could go in the back
seat. That must have written in the sky somewhere the reason I get in.
We used to do that movies right in the driving you know. They
were you know, they were quite the thing. So anyways, the movie
i'll talk about right now, Uh, this movie goes back to nineteen seventy
one and it was filmed in by a company in England. Both of my
movies are from England, and in this one, it was really a what
we call a Boom a favorite even today. Now, I don't know if
you guys are really into the real horror stuff. Sure, you know,
you gotta be tough, so you might not know this movie. This was
an exceptional horror movie. It was called The Cops Grinders. It was just
I can't believe this. I saw that, I knew, I knew you.
You like me? You like I saw it with the Undertaker in his
pals and the Obama. Well now don't win yourself. But anyways, La,
this is all about exotic brand of cat food. It was it goes
back to this company. It was called the Lotus Cat Food Company, and
they were having financial trouble and it was primarily due to the high cost of
the product, which is tuna fish you know for cats. So the owners
decide they got to find a cheaper way of meat for the cats so they
can make money. So what happened is they one of their partners and all
happened by accident. Was amazing. They had a in their shop there.
They had a long belt. It's like you see with TSA when you go
to the air point the belt moves belt. This belt is they put their
product on it and it goes right into a grinder. Okay, in this
case, you know, one of their partners, he was taking a nap
and someone unfortunately hit the button and he rolled right in with the grinder the
grinding pieces. So they were really concerned, you know, if something could
happen to them, if they found that. So what they did is they
ground up it all and they put it into cat food pans. Loved it.
Yeah, and they went out and they couldn't believe how popular it was.
Okay, it was. You know, it was a really different kind
of taste for cats, and it's like eating grandma. Yeahout that. Anyways,
you know, it accomplished that you wanted to do was come up with
a cheaper product. So and so, anyways, they started feeding it.
They tried it out in the cats, and they loved it. We found
that they love human flesh, the tuna and you know, versus the tuna
mix. So what they did to maintain a constant, low cost supply of
the human flesh, they hired a sleazy gray rubber and he would get them
an endless supply of of flesh. So and they even developed the sales slogan
that says for cats who like people and any other way. Yeah, the
victims, it just happened to be. They were solidly built females, open
down to their undies before they were fed into the Hamburger mission. Did they
make them rub the lotion? This was like braun underwear and all underwear,
and so he would bring them in from the graves and they didn't want all
the clothes on them to clog up the mechanism, so they just left their
underwear on. No, because it grinds it up pretty good, you know.
But the thing is it had a They had the heroes like any movie.
Really it was a It was a veterinarian shown Kenny in his shapely nurse
Monica Kelly. And they became suspicious of the company as they were seeing a
number of these harmless domestic cats who turned viciously on their owners. You know,
they were judge to kill the owners. Then they eat them rights itself.
It's great. I don't want to, but I just will say that
is a suspenseful ending, uh, because the cat food company's owners got wind
of the veterinarian doctor's suspicions, and so we'll leave it at that. You
do want to see this, highly recommend it that's has a sequel in two
thousand and two. They had Corpse Grinders too too. In this Ted Mickus
Nichols, who was the writer this and directed. He had two other big
hits. One of them was very good. It was called Blood Orgy of
the she Devils. It's still a big hit, okay. My favorite was
My favorite was Strike Me Deadly. Anyways, I just thought i'd should and
I know, Mack you'd hate it because of the Kiddy Cats being the stars.
Well we'll see Jerry still and Raven on the on the can the ingredients
said panties. Okay, well disclosure, that's okay good. Actually, before
he mentioned the course grinders, I was thinking that will be my second film.
I'll give it to Mac. By the way, they developed candy panties
after that, after they had, like I say, they the Underticker and
his pals and the Embalmer and when you pulled in to give you one of
these slips or a disclaimer that if you you know, they're going to have
somebody standing by and somebody had a heart attack and all that nonsense. So
yeah, if you're a corp fan of if you're a fan of collecting one
sheets from movies. The Corpse Grinders has a fantastic one sheet If you want
to look at IMDb dot com and we'll go see the movie one one.
What's your movie? Please? Movie, I'm going to just start off with
a banger. That is a movie. I think you if it was it
was a live person, you'd run it over with your car's pulp fiction that
a piece of ship. Come on, I love you, no to me,
pulp fiction, multifaceted extravaganza in the way that it's structured with, like
you know, five parallel movies because you're twined with each other. Go ahead,
and a fantastic if you like music, a fantastic soundtrack that if you're
the person, uh, you're very busy for the person getting the approvals to
use all the music. Would you call it the clearance person? Yes,
the clearance chick in this case, great soundtrack, great great theme, great
actors and actresses in it. Okay, I still use the term actress.
I don't know. It's just from start to finish. It just starts off
with a bang too literally, m all right. One of Quentin Tarantino's best
I think it was his uh second movie yep, follow up to Reservoir Dogs,
right, also amazing, Also a fantastic movie. Also a great soundtrack
on that one too. That's another one. I'm back to back. I
tell you, if you're a Quentin Tarantino fan like I am, yes,
you get your popcorn and you go back to back. So Reservoir Dogs and
five minutes, five minutes rebout this go ahead, Raven. I was just
gonna say so one one saying basically, if like Reservoir Dogs and pulp fiction,
like two old ladies that were helping each other across the street and you
were you were driving down you know, I don't know, main Street in
Boston, you would floor it. I hit them. Thank you one one,
and thank you Raven painting that picture for us. Let me just can
we just say one thing? Okay, what several things, but the top
thing, Okay, if you make a movie, all right, let me
put it this way. Suggi Leoni and Enio Morriconi never covered anybody they made
up the music for all right, it's easy. And and what's his name
does this all the time. The little freak there who did good Fellas does
this all the time. You know he takes what what he thinks is hip
hip music, and and uh, you know, puts it in there and
in my mind so you can afford to, you know, buy the Clarence,
you know, which is a lot all right, but it's just it's
it's like pandering to the audience or something. You should create a theme.
There's a lot of great movies out there where they created the theme that goes
with the movie. The theme music, the Brave Het. You listen to
it and you see the movie, it's it's fantastic. It's fantastic. It's
right so that I don't like that part of it, okay, And it's
also like so hip that it's kind of sick in a way. And by
putting me so hip in the way, it's in the way it's done.
The cinematography, the dialogue, it's it's nothing great. And let me tell
you this thing about the five little Movies put together. All that means is
he went in and pitched five movies, and they said, cut them down
and put them together, and maybe we'll put this movie out. And they
did. And but but the whole thing that happened was that they got John
Travolta to starmin and it was his comeback thing. You know, he you
know, and they could have fallen right in his face, but you know
he came back. You know, that brought him back, and Samuel Jackson
and so on. But I don't like it. I don't like the way
it's filmed. I don't like the way it's put together. And I think
it's very overrated. Sorry, Bonnie, Okay, I mean I'm just saying,
listen, Bruce Willis, isn't it She looks so okay? So he
looks kangaroo. Even I was drooling over Bruce Willis. Uh huh. There's
so many breakout scenes and that that my daughter Allison and I were moving to
California in nineteen ninety five. Yes, when that movie came out, we
just seemed like the grand screening at the Portsmouth Music Hall and everybody's standing,
standing ovation for the movie for what from Allison? Allison wanted to go to
film school after see in that movie, you learned how to how to do
pulpish camera work. One one you got to stop Max head is about to
explode. Yeah, and I'm the only one here, you know, Yes,
and work with actors with attitudes. They may believe they had beat off
those are the kind of people. Those a kind of people you want to
hang around with. Actors with attitudes. So Jesus anyway, Allan, now,
though, you must have a movie of two, do you before?
Yes? But before I do that, I want one thing I did want
to throw out there at everyone. This is the fiftieth anniversary of Blazing Saddles.
Okay, yeah, yeah, one of the one of the greatest comedies
ever made. Yeah well yeah, kind of kind of ate like that was
done right, It's okay, but you could never make it again. It
was like movie you did it, you picked the movie you would ate.
No, no, no, mel Boots is a funny guy. He is
funny and that I remember seeing that movie as a kid in the drive in
and it was outrageous. But then again, I wasn't any panical condition to
really grasp. I didn't know what was going on for quite a while.
But okay, but as far as this, I figured, if I was
going to find something Mac hated, it would have to have Tom Cruise in
it, and it would have to have maybe something like standard Stanley Kubeck.
Oh, so you know where this is going. I'm gonna go to eyes
wide shut come on what now. I w'l gonna be honest with you.
I have never seen the movie, but I've read I've read a bunch about
it here for the for preparation for this, I'll save you from it,
Okay, And I know he'd hate it. Let me just I got I
got like five reasons. Okay, ready, one And I know you love
this movie. Okay, So I don't love it. I liked it for
purely for purient interests only. Okay, well this isn't really is not much
in there. But anyway, so I came out I don't know when,
the nineties, nineteen ninety nine. Okay, you know Stanley Kubrick's last movie.
Stanley Kuber's kind of great director. He did Doctor Strangelow two thousand and
one, What's the famous Sing the Shining, which was terrible, and the
one that did what's the one in Vietnam, which is also a terrible movie.
You know, Full member Jacket, Full metal Jacket. Yeah. So
anyway, so but he was great at one time. So they filmed this
movie and then he died and he came upbout a year later. I came
out about a year later. And it's now five things wrong with that ready.
So Tom Cruise and Cole Edman were married at the time, married in
quotes. Okay, so and they're in it. Yeah, and they play
a married couple and they're very well to do people who live on New York's
Upper West Side. That's you have to remember that. So, and he's
a doctor and number two, I'll go to number two real quick. Forty
two times in the movie he goes, I'm a doctor because no one can
you know, can comprehend that Tom Cruise is a doctor. Okay, so
he has to keep saying it. So anyway, so there's a scene in
there where they get high. Okay, Tom Cruise and Nicole can gets high,
and I think she's topless, right as a sure she goes if I
may, she goes full full in that movie. Well yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah right, we should be a TV show. So
so, but everything that goes wrong, I would say to someone, if
you want to get high with your wife, watched this movie first, and
you'll never do it because she brings out everything that he's he's a gyecologist.
That's okay. Even better though, Tom Cruise, that's really gross, you
know, I mean with the tooth and everything. Okay, So that's one
reason. If I walked into his office and you know, my gany college
just smiled and I saw he had a tooth in the middle of his face,
I'd be like, no, thank you, Yeah, you're putting me
on there. Look. So anyway, the second thing is you wouldn't be
looking at your face. The second things she wouldn't get that. Fuck uh
second thing. Okay, so they go this, so take him out of
I want to know. He winds up at this party, okay, and
it's a pot of I don't know what they are, swingers or something.
I don't know, you can't even tell. But a lot of people walking
around there obviously instead some mansion and rose. He dressed up, but they
all have these weird masks on. Okay, now he's there on the cover.
He takes a cab there and have the cab wait for me. Comes
out like ten hours later. But so he goes in. He just grabs
a mask and it's like a long carrot nose or something, and people gathering
around and then you know, people have sex. It's not even good,
it's just like stupid and and but they know he's there, and so out
of this crowd. These two goons come and pick him up and bring him,
you know, upstairs. The question is how do they know is him?
Everyone has a mask on. Come on, he was wearing lips in
his shoes and the room. Okay, all right. Number three, all
right, so there's some flaws in the movie. He was a social media
picture of some of his nether regions and they saw it. Hey, listen,
this is in the movie. This is great Stanley Kruper. Luckily he
died before this thing came out, all right, Number number three, number
three, Okay. A lot of it has to do with Tom Cruise being
in Greenwich village, right the East village, I guess, and he can't
get home. Okay, Cabs won't stop for him, there's no buses,
and he's having all these little avenges. He meets a hook of his aides.
It is like this crazy thing. Now. A side thing is Stanley
Kuber didn't like to fly. So what he did was he made that a
virtual East Greenwich in Nottingham Studios. Okay, you know what I mean.
So when you see that, it's all kind of you know, virtual reality
that he didn't want to It looks like grendifields anyway, So he's stuck there.
He can't get home in this and I'm sitting there saying the whole time
is walk just walk home. You know it's going to take you twenty five
minutes. You can't just walk home, you know? What do you need
to have? We have the mask on? Is that why they wouldn't Maybe
that was it? Yeah, I don't know. It was like really nutty,
okay, and I think at four and five, but this is a
terrible movie. Mac. You No one would have saved that film if at
some point Tom Crew said open the pod bay doors. Hell, yeah,
you don't have saved it if some puppets came out, hang on and started
doing the thunderbreak thing. Let me get this in the water, hang on,
that's a crickets. Wow, all right, and now this is for
you. My wife wouldn't let me watch it, I think, wouldn't let
me watch it. Go. Well, finally, finally we watch it together,
and there's no reason it's a terrible movie. I'm sorry. We would
both called kidman fancy. We want it to be good because but you don't.
But but she's not, she's not she's not likable. In the movie
Okay, she just isn't I mean, it's everything I've met on this is
she something naked? Oh yeah, she's topless, right, I'm raving Charla's
signing up for okay, okay in Yeah, I would watch it, just
eighteen fifty, you know, to look at the no bad it's not worth
it. It's not worth She's in a lot of other good movies, so
movies that are better than that anyway, So you should watch Mulan Rouge.
She's great in that movie. All that movie is so good. She was
interesting in The Golden Compass, but she didn't show any anything. It's a
few movies that she did early in her career where she's out in a she's
on the sailboat and the guy gets on the sailboat and he tries to kidnap
her or whatever. But you know, when she was, when she was
first signing out, she wasn't really this redhead. She was you know,
more of a little you know, kind of a farm, you know,
and she was in cold mountains. You ever see that as a cold moment?
Oh yeah, fantastic from about that movie Practical Magic too. Yeah,
Oh yeah, she's very good. Will Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's a great movie. It's a really good movie. And then again
it was fantastic in that Stone Mountain and Jude Law Jude Lazon it too,
Yeah, really good law. Up there with Bruce Willis, I got a
whole love story. No, Bruce Willis once again, and and and only
times I went to film school on one there are I wish I was a
class medios there. Okay, really, so you hang out talk movies.
We're all the same, right, yes, great? It was great,
you know, I mean they got in my in my lastest senior year.
I would you could arrange your classes so Monday, Wednesday and Friday okay,
and all we all they did was watch movies. I'd come in and watch
movies for three days. Yeah. It was excellent. And what did I
do in the navy? Okay? Yeah, yeah, you get done a
new for saving them? I was a film editor. There you go.
Yeah, so we run there with comebay on, let's see who do we
go to? Now? Who's left? Switch? You gave me hint?
I don't think Okay, all right, I didn't recognize them. What don't
new here? Though? Switchy? Go ahead? Is he frozen? There?
Is he? Oh sorry, okay, no, I'm good, go
ahead, okay, all right. The Adventures of Buck ru Buns Across the
Eighth Movie Man that movie, all right, all right, I love that
movie. Peter Wheeler, h I hand the write down side Jeff Goldblum,
John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd and Ellen bar Kidding the fantastic cast. So Peter
Weller plays kind of a Doc Savage type. He's a surgeon, he's a
scientist, and he's got these this group of sort of aids around him,
and he's he's a he's been beginning. He is able to drive through solid
matter through the using the Eighth Dimension. The thing is, you find out
there's these evil aliens, the red Lectoids, are invading the Earth and taking
they came. They're the ones that started the uh, the War of the
World's broadcast thing. They actually did land. And they all have different last
names, but all the all their first names are John and obviously this is
a very tongue in cheek moviey and and and uh. John Lithgow plays doctor
Emilio Lozardo and he and his his his scientists buddy have been trying to penetrate
the Eighth Dimension. And they do. But but then Lifthgow gets gets taken
over, gets possessed by the evil alien, the Red Lectoid John Worfin.
But there are good Lectoids, the Black Lectoids are there to try to help
them out, and they all sound like Jamaicans, and there's there's this great
way and it's like Christopher Lloyd playing one of the red Lectoids things for all
a bunch of monkeys. He has no just no wants nothing to do with
Earthlings, so he calls us monkey boy. He'll say things like it's not
my goddamn planet, monkey Boy, and just all kinds of great lines,
very very tongue in cheek, a lot of action, very funny and oh
god, uh twenty years ago or more, yeah, thirty years ago,
don't know. Here's why it's very entertaining. Here's why I don't like those
kind of movies. Okay, because I went to film school, as you
know, one one if youdly, I wasn't changed by a film school.
If you take, if you take switchy no offense. So so from my
perspective, okay, I grew up reading science fiction books and I always wanted
them to make a movie about those kind of books. Space opera books and
just had it was like a it was a huge Doc Savage fan. Okay,
yeah, yeah, I play on Doc Savage so so so. But
and that that finally came to Fruition, which sty Wars. Okay, but
I waited a long time before Star Wars came up because Star Wars was a
space opera and a lot of the before and after that. I used to
think that if you take the money and the time and stuff and you want
to, you know, do a science fiction movie, and that's one of
them, and Mods Attacks is another one, and Independence Day is another one.
You know, why do you have to make it so it's you know,
funny, funny in pots? Why can't you just make Independence Day as
if it's still longest day, you know, like it really matters, you
know, and there's no you know, these crazy conspiracy things and stuff.
Just make the movie. That's how I feel about that. So that's why
I don't like those kind of you know, those those things that kind of
take it in a weird way, in a weird direction, like that uh
thing used to be on PBS there and that. Yeah, I mean,
make it make the movie serious, Make the movie serious. Yeah, you're
taking the time and the money to do like that. And John Lithgow was
fantastic because that doctor Emilio Lizardo they had on in the beginning, they had
them in a booby hatch because he was nuts because he was taken over by
the evil alien John Worfin. But of course he kills a guy in the
States. But it's funny, you're saying it's funny. It shouldn't be funny,
should be like, what's what's the what's the what's the movie with the
with the the in the sand trap and the kids see is that mounds?
What's the the Invaders from RS? Okay? Remember remember how you know how
that's like really serious, deadly serious, right, there's no laughs, and
every kid just make it. Just make that kind of a movie where it
really means something, you know, instead of yeah, Jack Nixon, you
know, acting his ass off as usual. So anyway, look the Day
of the Earth strat Still and Buck had a great sound the early one.
Now the first one was it original soundtrack or was it covers? Really?
Yeah? Okay? Then then I got Godzilla two thousand had an original soundtrack
by Keith Emerson, and then he committed suicide about three reals later. So
anyway, it's around that around that time. Yeah, maybe after that,
but the one that he did because unless God Zulma actually gets married to like
a female guard Zoma, you know, I think they're kind of stretching it
a little bit. But good soundtrack though. You're listening to macloney's Hollywood X

I'm doing good on the weight department. How are that's? That's not
the weight department beating those chips? Man, see what happens. I'm not
eating them all the time. Okay, just listen to the past British diet.
Okay, oh that means like fangs and mash you know. Really,
shepherd's pie. Shepherds pie like saugeas. Yeah, really do you eat that
stuff? Do you really eat that stuff at dinner. There's a lot of
stuff that Ilean cooks up that's decent Italian Italian food and things like that.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, because uh I leans kind of h on a
diet a little bit, so I don't want to be picking out in front
of her. All right, that's a that's a good husband. There.
There you go, Okay, I can get it. Okay, that's down
there. Oh man, did I just see what I just saw? After
we've gone through an hour? Switch plade? Steve Ward did have a can't?
Did a cant there? In honor of the corpse grinder? How can
you even? Oh yeah, he's looking at you. Wow, get rid
of that switch? How you doing that? Was keel? I'm doing just
fine, Like you can tell him a pot? So what have for breakfast?
Which are get it out of the way. I went to Tudor's Biscuit
World this morning, surprised. I brought a couple of books with me because
I always I spent you know, from two to three hours there drinkings,
handlers and you don't leave a tip notes that kind of thing. What's that
you don't leave a tip to you? I can't? Oh you can't.
If you're sitting there for three hours, you should leave something. However,
one of the waitresses I don't want to to be there. She works over
at Phyllis Pizza. Now that's where you can get a Mothman pizza. It
used to be Chinese restaurant. Signing on the Mothman took place in sixty seven.
Okay. Anyway, she works there now, and I'm able to get
her tips once in a while. I guess she waits on me, so
I cannot. I don't think I want a moth Man pizza. And that's
like saying like the fly pizza, you know what I mean. You know
it's named after the movie, but no one wants moths and that now in
the Chinese restaurant there, that's probably awesome. Anyway, thank you, Switch.
Let's go on to h a Sirechie Willie Club. Talk about food.
I didn't tell you what I wait, wait, I want to after my
appetite said moss. You thinks you're eating My appetite left me when you said
mots. Just what did you have? This? Switch is? Sorry?
Switch? I had I had French toast, oh but like that, and
I had bacon. I had a little bit of I asked for extra bacon
and not too krispy. Oh really yeah, one of those guys coffee.
Yeah they well you know they uh the special orders don't upset them. Yeah
yeah, but chrispy. You don't like krispy bacon? What's your problem with
the best the way it should be, sir? Not really if it's too
crispy. Nah, I don't like it, Limp. I like it crispy.
Yeah yeah, no one likes it limb We think it chrispy. That's
how they serve it here in the UK. You're still talking about bacon,
righty, Like it's half cooked. I like. I like my bacon so
I can hold it, it'll stand up straight. Yes, yeah, yeah,
yeah, that's what bacon's all about. It should be a flash.
That's the stiffness it should be. It should be cooked. It should there's
a way to cook it. Can I tell you? How do you?
And for some reason I know this, You lay it out in the big
can and you continuously turn it, just continuously turn it until it gets to
that color and then you get it on there. But yeah, I love
bacon. I love bacon. I haven't had bacon in about five years man,
but there's something about it. So anyway, let's uh now that he
chimed in, so also in the studio with us, switch for you done?
Were you done? Yeah? Did you have hot black coffee? And
so I had black coffee with him. And you know you can get it
in a in a like a cup, like a mug where you can get
it in a stybrofoam thing. Yes, I always ask fort in a mug.
I tell him I feel like I've grown up when I'm drinking coffee,
right, yes, and you're saving the whales. Still, Hey, listen,
what looks like a big navy bug mug, one of those somebody with
it. He just sitting on time after time and get and get more coffee
and then go out back and listen. Let me tell you. Sometimes,
okay, over the hill gang sits on the other side, usually all the
old timers, and I'm just like, you know, probably a few years
behind him. But but there's this one guy there that has the gift of
gab. You know, he just dominates the conversation ahead. And he told
me one day what the mothman stuff was all about. Really, he's the
guy. Yeah, someday they'll let you in this Switchy, you'll say so.
So listen, you're sitting there for two or three hours. Okay,
you're going up and you're getting coffee, slip five bucks underneath your plate.
When you leave. I mean they're looking at you, go, what's this
this freaking guy? No, they want to turn over that table. Switchy.
You know you are you taking the space? Get the hell out of
there, right right? Well, all right, it's a weird place.
They don't allow tipping. I mean, I know it's strange, but well
it is weird. Not even that a lot of places around that area don't
have tip cuffs. Okay, all right, you know I used to tip
fifty percent at Farmer's Kitchen because the meals weren't that expensive to begin with.
But I really got my money's worth. No matter what I I went in
there, I get more of a portion than the next guy, would it
of whatever it was your pancakes or more omelet, whatever, And it's just
fifty And when I walked in there, whether it's full or empty, the
girls would be wondering. I wonder if he's going to be at the connors
are going to be No, No, it's just stuff right there. Okay,
Now this is one of the mysteries. This is a mystery every week.
Be waiteous? Is this placed look like what's illustrated model? Right?
Right? I know I sent you the pictures. This is real stuff,
right, it's it really the pictures. I could talk the whole collapse again.
Yes, yeah, and they and they're friends of yours. And one
of them is dressed like a cop and she can't cuffing them for I'm sorry
as a photographer for Halloween Day and Christmas just before Christmas dressed up. It
was a coincidence that they didn't want to wear my sunglasses. The counter girls
that you know what, counter girl, I sit down the counter. You
know, it wasn't really that full. The manager was the younger, another
woman. I said, no, you can't do the country. You gotta
do the the tables over there. She was upset because she wanted to serve
me. Wow, I was going to move to the table. Want to
occupy a table for four? All I was by myself. I don't want
to occupy a table for four by myself. So when, when, when
exactly did they arrest you? What was that about they arrest me? Yeah?
When they put during cuffs. Oh, it was like they were they
were demonstrating the cuffs that that one girl was wearing for Halloween. Okay,
yes, there's a real cuffs, so to try one anyway. Okay,
I'm going to introduce it al because I can't remember. This was the next
I'll tell you what. I go for coffee every morning with my wife and
we go to a place in New Report and they have an early bird special.
It's cheap. We end up splitting it because she's not going to eat
a whole lot. What is it? French toast and stuff like that,
eggs and bacon, go eggs, bacon toast coffee for like seven seventy eight
bucks. And the day I tip fifty percent is the day, like I
said, they're going to be a happy ending because that ain't happening. Is
that they stopped spitting in his food? Well? Are you going to Angies?
Yeah? And we're going there every morning. I know all the waitresses.
They're all really nice. And there's one that, like the early bird
comes with a coffee go ahead, so we have to buy an extra coffee
because we end up splitting the early bird that only comes to one coffee.
What's the total bill ten eleven bucks. Whether you leave them that ten okay
ten, let's say a box three bucks four bucks, depends on what they
give me back for change. But the thing is one of the waitresses is
like, look, and I'm not going to charge you for two coffees because
I don't drink that much coffee. I'll drink one and I'm done with Sue
will keep going. And uh so I'll tip her a fiver because it sounds
like a Hollywood movie, you know, shit she'll give me She is not,
She's saving me a few bucks. I'll give her a five bucks tip.
Yeah, But tipp in a place like that is different from tipping in
a bar. Okay, I mean it is a point. I mean twenty
thirty percent I there, but when you get up to fifty percent, I'm
sorry. That's that to me is like all depends on the service there.
I don't care. I don't care if they get a golden platter, not
fifty per Holy shit, not happening. Raving. I would agree. There's
a bar that I like to go to locally, and I mean the one
bartender is clearly very smitt with me because you know, like a good little
tip and then he'll slide me some free drinks sometimes. Okay, let's introduce
let's introduce Ravens. They have some residuals that you can get on. That's
a good word. That's a good word. Right now. I'm not extravagant
by any means. No, no one's accused you of that. Actually ever.
Okay, I've seen you tip, You're okay. You didn't have to
school very late. Friends, circle back the Fly player, what you had,
Pizza Fly, Jeff Gold Blue House of spitting on my face. I
mean a lot of people are freaked at the first light, the first in
the fifth Edison, David Edison was the and that's that that's on on the
Fly's body. That was Dandelo help me help me, final scene and that
you know. Charles Herbert a few years ago, he's passed on. I
met Hila Monster. Bashelis super nute guy. He was in Uh he signed
a photograph for He was in the Twilight Zone episode one of the only ones
that Ray Bradbury wrote called I Sing the Body Electric. Yeah they got a
robot grandmother and uh yeah if he was in the original teen Ghosts too,
and the lady that played his sister. I can't take her name right now.
She was there another time and they were She said how horrible his parents
treated him when he was a kid, really spent his fortune, he had
almost no money left stage. She kind of befriended him. She was like
a big sister to him. Yeah. I just want to say the original
thirteen Ghosts now that came out when I was a kid. But there's a
lot of hype with this thing because you could they they were going to give
away three D glasses and you with the three D glasses, you could see
the ghosts, right, And we're waiting for this thing like crazy, and
so we go and it's it's like one you know, they give you glasses.
It's like red tinted on one side, blue tinted on the other.
But you could see what they were doing, right. It was creepy.
The whole idea was just like creepy, you know, and and a shushed
audience. It was just like everyone was like so involved, very very good
movie, very creepy. Remember it was in the movie they had these special
ghost glasses. So when they put them on, right, you're supposed to
put on your three D glass? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember
who was in it. I can't think of her name. That the wicked
Witch of the West was was in the kind of the housekeeper or something?
Oh yeah, Oh my gosh, I think I know you're talking about.
Yeah, and did I introduce everyone? Club? Club? Oh wow?
Club? It could be invisible now, okay, club is here a little
ghostly. I do need to calm and I'm listening to switch about. You
know this experience that he has that the Hooters were an SA He thanks he
getting away without paying a tip, but he doesn't understand that they build in
the tip into the cost of his meals exactly. Let me tell you something.
Club. So he's pinching himself, but he's really just saying, here
he comes again. He's going to sit there for hours there. And when
I compare him to the East Coast, I went to a house of pancakes
when I was out there, it was you guys at the Exeter UFO festival,
and I came close to having to re mortgage my house. Now,
listen, that's where you're going. That's where have we have better education on
the prices down there? Don't compre Was I ated a house of pancakes?
Yeah? But he ate twenty bucks from one pancake not getting screwed. Good
for you, and it was like, you know, half the price.
But anyway, Tutors Biscuit World man you can go there said that the French
toast and coffee. It was like, okay, yeah, you know you
know what they pay down the stouple more bucks with the extra bacon. Yeah
the street, Yes, Raven, Please, can I before we jump back
into the movies, which is so fun I'm having, can I maybe make
a suggestion that we have an episode where Club and Switchy just fistfight just went
on right, ye like rock like everyone is asking for it at this point.
Wow, Okay, I go easy on you. Let's do it.
We'll see. What we have to do is wait until the UFF Festival next
year, when when Steve's up here, and then we get to two of
them in a room and we lock them in a room with a rattle snake,
and then we closed the door snake and we let him it has an
idea, I'll be gentle. I was thinking I probably go over and rip
your head off. Oh wait, you know, I think of the rattles
packers probably be more congenient doing Wow. Wow, it's like he hasn't loaded
up. Stephen grabbing by the tail and starts whipping it around. Wow wow,
Wow, Okay, let's get the train back of the back. So
where's a movie? Does everyone have a movie? Oh? I was gonna
say, uh, we're talking about Cubic a little bit, and how a
lot of these people kind of like, you know, they hit it,
you know, they hit they hit a pankle. But it's also when they
become popular, which is really kind of weird too, you know. But
Doctor Strangelove, I think in a way two thousand and one, for a
lot of people, it's a little bit you know, obscure, a little
bit, you know, kind of freaky. He did The Shining, but
yeah, they're shining. I don't like that movie. That's like stupid.
But you know what's funny about The Shining is Stephen King doesn't even like to
Shine. He doesn't even like it. Then that fucking doesn't doesn't like The
Shining because it's not like his book. And I will argue that the miniseries
The Shining is pretty bad. Can I just say, can I just say
something? Okay, the the movie The Shining, Okay, with with with
Kubrick and what's his name? First of all, he almost killed Scatman Crowds
one of my national treasures. Okay, he had him like do to take
four hundred times and he's one line or something. But oh, you're thinking,
just think of this movie in just just make one little switch, one
little switch, Okay, take Jack Nicholson out of it and put in some
guy you don't know but is a real actor, you know what I mean.
You can't get over the fact that it's Jack Nicholson just you know,
chewing up the scene of like he always does. Perfect. She said they
almost killed Shelley devau Right because they alienated her so bad. She always had
a nervous breakdown. Yeah, I mean she was like abuse. Oh,
they won't even talk to her. She was, she's a poor woman.
What's what's the point of that? She's you know, it's not that kind
of a movie. And I never read the book. I don't care,
but you know, the switches told me and other people told me that,
like there's a scene with the hedges or something like that, which is like
a big deal in the book, and they don't even It's like, I
agree with they should have put out the movie. Yeah, no, it's
too much Jackson. I don't like it. And can I say one other
thing. The scatman cruggers right in the book, he said, awesome character.
Awesome character and plays a major role towards the end of the book.
What does cubric do? The guy shows up with the mansion and they kill
him. They kill him immediately. I think I can tell you what that
is, but we'll talk about it off. I get an idea what that
might be. Okay, but I think that you have to if she's going
to take something like that and see and the way it works is, you
know, you have to get connected with the people who are going to find
me in said they. So they're gonna go, well, we're gonna do
the Shining Stephen King book. Who can well, Jack Nicholson's gonna be okay,
yeah, he's he's twenty million dollars. I mean, that's how you
do it, you know, so you probably couldn't have it made with an
unknown star. But I just don't like it. Then then they come back
as a made for TV movie or a series or something stupid. Then they
do sequels those you know, that's the mini series. Okay, all right,
yeah, yeah, did he like that. It's the way that he
like kind of split it up with like it it was like this mini series.
Okay, I'll see. I don't I don't read any of his stuff.
You know, I listened to him. He's one of these guys I
had a drug problem and drinking problem. But you know, I'm a billionaire.
I don't want to hear that stuff. Okay, back to Shinny.
Who would you put in place with Jack Nicholson, George Clooney, Jack Nicholson.
No, you know, this is the thing is that just rattle them
off. I mean, don't put a movie star right there. Just put
somebody starting out, just yeah and no idea. But see, you won't
get to make no play. Make mac a dull boy, all work and
no plays a Jack said in the movie. Yeah, yeah, about nine
times. I'm trying to think of the I like the guy, but Ryan
Reynolds, I'm sick of him annoying. His wife was annoying. They're all
annoying. They're very very annoying. Everyone annoys me anymore. Yeah, but
those these people these days are really annoying, you know, because they were
all buddies and what they contribute to this stuff. I mean the old Hollywood
stars, you know, they were all like real a holes to okay,
Kurt Douglas and all these guys, but they made movies that were like great,
you know what I mean, like great, You're not like Bobby.
I mean, come on, Oppenheim. Barbie was really good. It was
really good, and I like, I watched it and I was like,
mister Raven had first watch and I was like, I never played with Barbie's
like I was always a tomboy. I was always like eating dirt as a
kid, Like were not on my radar at all. This movie was so
good, so good. I like that. I feel halfway through, but
I like that I liked what I saw, and you know, now they
make this kind of different movie and so on. Okay, so it is
that Oppenheimer is a good movie. It's not a great movie. It's not
like Spotacus, To Kill a mocking Bird The Longest Day, you know what
I mean. It's not, but it like three and a half hours.
Yeah, it was too long. It's too long that I haven't watched it
yet. I want to watch it, but it's like I have to watch
it with commercials. I need to step away at some point. Yeah,
there's a lot of time shifting and here he is fifty years like, who
needs that stuff? And the weird thing about it is his wife looks like
his girlfriend in the movie. So when he's nailing someone, you know who
it is, right and my right ormar. I was confused by that.
Okay. I was just gonna say, so Skaney Cubert did this movie called
Barry Lindon, and I mentioned, no one's ever seen it. Okay,
I haven't seen it. Okay, switch you've seen it, okay. So
it had an intermission all. Yeah, it was a real long movie.
It was after what's his name? That movie he made, you know about
the Ultra viol And was that movie after two thousand? Excellent movie. Yeah,
it's just you watch that movie now, man, you go, wow,
they're talking about this stuff forty years ago. So anyway, he makes
this movie called Barry Lindon, and I remember at this point I started to
kind of, uh, you know, tune them out, even though I
wound up doing Nassis thesis at film school walm on On Stanley Kiobrog Okay,
I wish I was in that class. Yeah, so anyway, you would
have loved the class. You would have loved that class. They used to
bring in like nude female moles like once a week. Sorry, oh man,
as I doing it Emison College. They're running Hollywood. Now I get
a name plus in that class. Anyway, I'm sure you did. He
made this after credit can stick figures, so but they took theater remember that
on Save took them last four times in a row. So anyway, he
made a speak theater. But the Hinderburg Crash actual audience with horror, a
stick figures, a stick figure, reporter and everything. That's all the humanity,
the humidity, right was it saying? Man? They were funny way
back? So anyway, he made this movie called Barry Lindon and it's this
huge, huge epic movie. But he had Ryan O'Neil Styrin who just died
and at the time he was in Peyton Pleas in Love Story and Peyton places,
like, why is Stanley Kubrick? You know having this guy in it's
the same thing. You know, we'll give you forty million if you know
some star, isn't it? And he was the star at the time.
So I didn't watch it for a long time. I said, I'm not
gonna But if you watch that movie, you're right. Switch it has a
intermission. It's a long movie. It's a long movie, but what he
does, it's the most realistic movie from the seventeen hundreds you can imagine.
So when it's night in the re inside of houses, it's all candlelight,
nothing else. Okay, when you're out on the roads, it's like dacas
hell. It's what this guy goes through. It's it's a real journey.
It's a really good movie, but kind of an obscure movie. One moment,
we want to talk about obscure movies. Montin sco SCE's King of Comedy.
Have you seen that movie? Oh yeah, that's a jermy. Did
he win an oscar for that? He's unbelievable in that movie. I mean
he's an adult do everything else making fun of disabled people and stuff. He
wasn't that fun. He was of a freaking real life. But he's great
in that. He plays Johnny Hasten basically getting kidnapped, you know, off
the air and the kidnapper comes on the Robert than Therow. He's great.
And and that that girl, that skinny woman is in it. She's really
good and it's really good as I was a turning up with Celebrity Life and
there's one one of Stacey's movies. I think he's overrated, but I think
it's one of those really good movies. It's kind of overlooked. Who's turned
Let's got a club club, He's got something mothered up here? I do,
and uh, this one, Mac is one. I think you'll like.
You you may be familiar with it because it seems to meet your criteria.
You know, I understand you know, you got this background and movies
and all this stuff, so you're sort of a snob film. You're quite
shot about building, building, building, and it's for the big ending.
This movie produces that, so I think based on that, you'll you'll like
it. It's again another drive in movie, and it was made in England
and it goes back to nineteen eighty one, but it did very well in
this country. You may have heard of that if you didn't see it,
it was and I know Switching probably will say he did in Seminoid Dash Horror
Planet, Stop Stop Stop Stop. I just want to help club. You're
still going to drive ins in nineteen eighty one. That's cool, man,
I like that I went to drive in. We had a place in Maine
in the in the end of nineties. He still had a driving up and
I believe it's still lived. And oh my kids love that you can drive.
Did you still have a clave when you went in front movies? Because
if your theater, the main theater is at least one hundred miles away.
Yes, they were in Boston. We got to see all the first runs
up there on vacation and the driving for two bucks apiece. Listen, I'm
going to tell the driving in southern Michigan and Cold Water up. It was
probably still there. I kept up really nice and great for families. But
the club. What's the name of your movie? Again? In Seminoid are
a Planet, you might just see it as are a planet, But in
England they called it. They started with Incent. You know that you inseminate
someone. Wait a minute, it is a drive in movie. I don't
know about that. Okay, look, ye, well anyways, let me
tell us what it's about this one. This one, like the other one,
is fast moving. Okay, yes, but it's considered a weak imitation
of Alien. This movie came out shortly after Alien. Yes, he's the
writer, a director, says, now he denies it. But anyway,
what here involves a crew a male and female of interplanetary archaeologist and scientists,
and they go up to this planet, all right, and a distant planet
that has two sons, and they're going to excavate. It takes place mostly
in the cave, in the excavating ruins of an ancient civilization, and it
threatened when an alien, a giant bug eyed worm, rapes one of their
room. Judy geeseon who's a big star, now go ahead. She was
a hot blonde and this she played the hot blonde chick. But she was
a scientist. And anyways, she dug up a piece that wakened up this
bug eyed giant buguide warm and he's been waiting for eternity. So anyway,
she ended up getting pregnant the way we once again time out. So I
was just about to ask you, is the worm like kind of a phallic
symbol? When I mean, I'm the story, How does she get how
does she let you know it's a big word anyway, how does she get
pregnant from the big worm? Oh? No, I just to let you
know that nude scene, that connection that's with the worm. So anyway,
well, I didn't sign up for this podcast to talk about sex anyway with
worms. Next episode, this is real Elliott to twin Maggots. Then it
really starts getting vicious. This is where in the driving the date I had
that time, she just put her head down on my lap. Anyways,
was she feeling sick? She was scared? Well, anyways, the judy
slowly turned homicidal and she murdered her fellows, her fellow crew members, one
by one because she needs to suck their blood to feed her mute offspring.
It he said. Anyway, you know, and you'll want to know this
one. It was filmed over there in England at the Chiselhurst Cave. I
don't know if you've been there yet. It's in Kent and also was part
of it was filmed on the island of Guazo in Malta, so it was
filmed in some pretty extravagant places. Now, the big thing about this is
that the ending, which I'm not going to tell you because it's it's you
know, it's really scary. But anyways, I do want to tell you
that the critics had interesting comments about this. I'll I'll give you two brief
critical comments. One of them was it's a piece of ship, yes,
yes, And the other one is the highlight of the movie is when someone
attempting to cut off their own foot with the hedge trimmer. We're not here
where the archaeologist is walking around with a hedge trimmer in an alien cave.
But it was very important in the theater. People reacted to it when when
the audience cheered when Cindy got strangled. Anyways, it all had as a
large, devoted cult footfall and it was made the La Times Top ten list.
I'm not sure what top ten list, but they say there. And
I just want to tell you that East Dives ended up moving really big based
on this movie. Judy Geeseon she ended up moving to the US. She
played in Sher with Love Ran Again, She played in The Eagle as Landed.
She was part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Wow. And the other
one that moved very up a lot too was Victoria Tenant. I'm sure you've
all heard her. Victoria married to Steve Martin and she was in Windsor Wash
got a global globe in operation, and she was in the TV shows Monk
Jack, Diagnosis, Murder, so anyways, the film, it's off as
a real sleeper, but you could see by the impact on these female actresses
that it obviously boosted them into a successful careers. And so I just don't
want to let you know if you haven't seen that one. It's really it's
worth the time, very exciting and so once you go worm, once you
go worm, you can't go back. You got a squirm. I don't
know. I say this story reminds me of something. Is that with a
she had when she gets strangled. It's it's that old chilbre story about Piasa
Dora, remember her a little right? She she looked she I don't know
how old she was, but she looked like she was very young. So
uh, she wasn't much of an actress, but she was married to this
like Italian billionaire who was like a weapons dailer or some freaking thing. And
it's kind of like Cis and Kane where he bought her her career and stuff
like that, and she posed a play billy and stuff like that. So
anyway, but nothing never really took because she couldn't act, but she looked
very cute. So anyway, he arranged for her to star in the Diary
of Anne Frank in Toronto. Okay, now he's gonna eat. She's been
in films, she's been on Broadway. Nothing works. Sorry, he's gonna
She's gonna try the stage now in serious time. She's I hate to say
this, but she's and Frank in the movie, and she in the play.
She's and Frank in the play. And she's so bad that when the
Nazis break in at the end, something in the audience yelled, O,
she's in the attic. She's a pretty girl. Yeah, she's just a
showing naked picture. Yes, she is a pretty girl. She also was
known for she's going to European tour and she had just had a baby,
like two weeks before. And the reporter said to her, so are you
bringing the baby with you or not? And she said, what baby?
Not a real maternal instance, dub on ice. That's nice. She had
a couple of top of scenes in a couple of movies. Yeah, if
you really want to, if you really let me go, look, I
know so all right, So thank you club for that. I'm gonna want
I'm gonna want you should again and again if you haven't seen it, I
really recommend it, but keep the lights on when you do. It's a
it's a real horror one out of that discussion. Don't use worms when you
go fishing. You know you probably don't want to put that on them.
Listen, dead beat worm. Dead beat worm is a great name for CD
or you know, band or something. Dead beat worm says a lot.
So switch, you haven't quick on. Let's here, let's hear yours switching
all right? Drive angry Nicholas Cage it sucks and Amber heard, hang Ember
heard. Before all the controversy, I want to say that she looked great
and she was very good in the role ahead and I have to say she
didn't crapple over the production anyway. With the here is in Hell and he
escapes, and the reason he escapes is his daughters has had a child,
and there's this cult that that wants to get the child and sacrifice it and
open up this other dimension, like a Lovecraftian dimension. Crazy stuff. I
mean, there's car chases, there's fights, and William Fitchener is a guy
sent from Hell to get Nicholas Cage back, and he has this really funky
cool looking gun which can can do all kinds of stuff and so he's this
a couple of times when it looks like he's actually gonna kill or or disintegrate.
Uh uh the hero Nicholas Cage, and uh they almost become allies towards
the end. But anyway, it's just it's a it's a it's a romp,
it's car chase, it's it's not it's rated. I would say a
heavy R. It's the young children away and uh, it's it's really it's
a lot of fun. It's about Uh, it's about Nicholas Cage saving this
child from the evil cult before they whip him back to hell. And there's
this really cool song. I mean, there's there's a there's a there's a
music score and all that stuff, and there's probably a few songs I've forgotten
about. But at the very end that at the very end, there's this
cool black car. I won't tell you exactly what's going on, but that's
a very very cool song and I checked it out. There's only one verse
that's been written. They never finished it, but it it is awesome.
A great way to end of the movie. Again, Thrive Angry Nicholas Cage,
what are you Fitioner? And Amber heard, what year ten years ago?
Fifteen? Maybe it's not not terribly old. Okay, let me just
say it sounds so familiar. I think I watched THISNG like a real sleeper.
Yes, well, anything that Nicholas Cage is in is you'll be sleeping
when you watch it. Let me just la Cage go ahead. Is he
Is he a good actor or is he a bad actor? I think he's
a good actor, but I think that he has become one of these guys
who all those people out there are weird, you know, but he's he's
more known for being like weird than being a good actor. I've seen him
in really good movies. But let me just take this moment to talk about
the Amber heard. Okay, if you don't mind, now, I would
love to hear this. Okay, now listen, now look it I I
you know, let's say pre trial with her and Johnny Depp, and when
a lot of really kind of like disgusting stuff came out, let's just wash
that away for a second. He was married to him. She was married
to Johnny Dupp for a while, okay, and they had what the kids
call him open relationship. So she continued these relationship with her girlfriends. Let's
just say that, okay, all right, she leaves him. She drives
Johnny Depp nuts. She literally drove him nuts. I mean, he was
found not guilty at the trial, but there's a lot of evidence said that
she would just drive him nuts. Okay, and he must have liked some
of it. Okay. So anyway, so then that relationship goes away.
She gets involved with what's his name, that freaking idiot. You know who's
the Lexus guy, not the Lexis guy. You know, Elon Musk,
Elon Musk. Okay, let me take of a mirror. He's a fucking
idiot because he doesn't have any kind of like a social awareness. He wants
so much to be a celebrity. So anyway, they got together. Somehow,
they get together. They were together the couple. They should like playing
traffic together. Yeah why not? He should drive one of her she should
drive one of his drive cars and something, yeah, something go off the
road. But but this is what she did to him. They were together
for a long time. He was like married, he has like nine kids.
He's a he's he's not a really good he gives me the Yeah,
he's like a villain from the future. But anyway, she said to him.
So she breaks up with them. She drives him nuts. The stock
price goes down. He's so up about this, sorry, and she finally
says, I'll make up with you. Come down to stop Hollow Chili,
some freaking place down South America. We'll meet there. He changes his whole
schedule, he does all this, He flies down, she stands them up.
What is it about her? What is it about her? That's what
I want to know. It's like, why did she drive these guys crazy?
You know? Oh you know what, she has a platinum p hold
on, she has a platinum cat, said, cat Roll a platinum p
Okay, I guess you can't say it on the show. That's okay,
all right, button Cat, it must be. That's why you must do
something really great. Yeah right, yeah, better be. It's like for
for women on our side, for all the ladies that will agree with this,
it's when somebody has a devil D. You know, all the ladies
are going to get that a double D, same thing, interchangeable with five
drunk white guys. You're going to have to tell us what that means after
you. Well, so this is a Mac after dark. So if there's
any kids listening, you know, scart off. So we have a platinum,
all right, interchange tape the tape, the tape, the tape exactly.
Okay, Well we're going to cut the I was about to ask Alexa
here that is the next room. That was I'm trying to show Mac off
to the side here, you know, trying to clear it up, but
he wasn't picking up what I was putting down. And then you had to
deliver the final ball, you know what I'm trying to You know, the
guys, we need to spend more time out in the streets. Wow,
we really do. Anyway, Well, thank you for that. You better
be platinum for that price. I'll tell you for real, I'm saying I
don't want to go back in the time machine, but way way back.
But it's this almost exact same story as Frank Sinatra and what's her name?
That woman who drove everyone like kind of crazy. I'm sorry, clubs you
would know, oh you mean no, no, not no. Before her,
he was married to Ford Ava Gardner. Okay, if you see Ava
Gardner, if you see pictures of her, now, yeah, this's okay.
You know, from a beauty standpoint kind of fifties or whatever. She
drove him nuts, She drove like two or three other people like crazy because
I don't know why I don't like Cleopatra. You know, she she knew,
she knew how to make how to push the button. Okay, well
it's not kind of like the same story. So anyway, Okay, we
got like one more movie left, give another movie one one, dude,
he's look at that of the lost doc. No sucking movie, sucking movie.
I'll tell you what now, listen, rocked Mac, I'll tell you
where you know. I'll tell you exactly now. And they know that only
the movie is. But you know the Hauson Ford, excellent actor, playing
like he sucks. Come come on, he doesn't act after these exotic artifacts
in the Middle East. Okay, can I tell you? Can I tell
you right off? He'll get it. Can I tell you right off?
Okay? And switch knows what I'm gonna say. Okay, first of all,
if you watch that movie, I mean, basically it's the act of
the Covenant, not watch it. If the art of the Covenant. The
Nazis are somehow, for some reason in Egypt in nineteen thirty four and they
find it and they want it, okay, and then Harrison Ford and the
you know, his little bodies could not and try to stop them. If
you watch that movie, everything that happens in that movie could happen, would
happen if Harrison Ford and the people weren't in. It doesn't matter. It
doesn't now, now hang on, let me switch it. They go,
no matter, right to the end. The Nazis get the thing. They
get the thing, and they have the submarine chase and all right, and
they bring it to their secret cave and all that stuff, and they open
it up and then the Angels, you know, whatever is inside kills all
the Nazis. That would have happened anyway. And what Harrison Ford and his
buddy's doing the movie doesn't They have no They have no determination on how the
outcome happens. Okay, gave it that old college trial, but they failed.
Well, the Angels would have done that anyway. But you know what
up with a better script is saying a story. If they had good job,
if they had managed to get that thing, if Harrison Ford hadn't been
in, if they had gotten nothing back to Nazi Germany, had opened it
in front of Hitler guests who would have been dead. See, they would
have killed him because he would have been one of the clowns standing in front
of it, listen with his face in it, right, and it would
have melted him. But a great movie. He listened. This is what
I'm saying about. There are certain movies, are certain very famous movies that
actually deceived the audience, and that's one of them. The Nazis were not
in Egypt in nineteen thirty four, whenever the hell it was. Okay,
so that's you. You're off the charts with that. And the fact is
that the script I'm just saying, come up with a bit of story.
Okay, second one track made up for any hist Yeah who did the soundtrack?
You know? John Williams. Yeah he's okay, Yeah, he's good.
Yeah, Yeah, he's right. Hey, listen, he's kind of
predictable. The lights coming through and lights that deal up there to tell where
the arc is and and the action sequences. Oh, come on, he's
kind of predictable, I think. Okay, did you know that his son
is the lead singer of the band Toto. Gentlemen, anyway, it missed
the range down in Africa, don't think that's right. That's a great sign.
I just think that, like for Martin's Got for instance, he did
that movie on Howard Hughes with the lee of Dicaprios in it. What's abbreviator
deviet? Okay, fine, Okay. So in the movie, he has
this huge airplane that he's built called the Spruce Grooves. The Spruce Groops has
eight engines on it. It's enormous and it's supposed to take like five hundred
soldiers across the Pacific, you know, to fight in the wall. That's
why they built it. And then the defensive Bob and gave him money to
do it. Okay, in real life they cut off his funding. Howard
Hughes is the guy who built this, you know, and he's like an
eccentric billionaire et cetera, et cetera. So he just approved everyone wrong.
He said, I'm going to actually fly this thing. It was being took
like years to build it. He finally flies in and literally went twenty feet
off the surface of Sco Bay and landed. His flight was shorter than the
original Kitty Hawk flight of the Right Brothers. Okay, In Sclos Stacey's movie,
he's flying over San Francis. He's soaring like a jumbo j That's wrong,
you know what I mean that you can't do that. You just can't.
You just can't do that. You're you're deceiving your audience. You're picking
on the historically, but it's not true on this. You can't do it
because that that stuff drives me insane when it's not like historically accurate. Even
when it comes down to the music, because sometimes you're watching things that are
set in a certain in a certain year, right, and they'll play music
that wasn't released for another two years. Goodfellows, you see a nineteen fifty
a Chevy going by it. Goodfellows is a perfect example of that, because
go ahead, place switching, switching. It was in the script. Oh
yeah, there you go. It's like it's like the divine you, the
hand of God, right, the Bible? Why a TV show? And
I say, well, why did that person do that? And I'll say,
was in the script? No? No, right? A movie to
become miserable? Is that? No? No, no, I'm not saying
that. I say that. I like a lot of movies. I'm just
saying, why miserable? About all I'm saying I'm the one. I'm the
one defending the movie, defending the screenplay. But you seem to think you
seem to think that, yeah, because it's in the script. I'd rather
I'd rather cuddle up to that reynoldsnake. If you're seeing Killers of the Flower
Moon, No, why would you want to watch that? I mean,
come on, why historical actress? I know, like you know, you
have like three or four attempts to make it all the way through. No
one wants to watch that stuff. I'm sorry, I know it's probably that's
three and a half hours, and I breezed through it, unlike Oppenheimer,
where I couldn't wait to get out of there. I'm glad it's historically as
the bomb so I can get out of here. That's all I want to
say, is the bombs? What about good Fellas? Come on? Here's
my thing with the Flower Moon? Is a really really good movie good Fellas.
Good Fellas is a good movie for several reasons. But it's but it's
not a great movie for several reasons. Goodfella's number one why it's good is
it tells this story that is just like so fascinating about these mobs they's on
my island and they gotta you know, knock off JFK. Uphold is basically
what they're doing for those like gold Shipment. But it's just the vives of
them in the minds of I hate to say, but like the Italian kind
of the neighborhoods down there and how they act and how they different, how
they reacted different things is really cool, and it's it's it's great when you
see the success, but then you see what happens when it starts to go
downhill. But what's kind of cool is that there's a scene in it where
Aleota you have to go through his day. He's in the characters I gotta
go to the monk and I got to pick up the tomatoes. I'm I
going to come back and pack the coke for the guy for the girl,
and the helicopter of his houships, like, oh man, it's so cool.
It's just so cool, and and everyone in is really good. But
the sound tracks all these Rolling Stone songs that weren't even out when that's just
supposed to be happening. And I just think Scoo says he putting in the
Rolling Stone song, He's tend to be cool, you know what I mean,
but just putting in some kind of really original soundtrack like The Godfather.
Everyone hears the first three notes of Godfather. You know what movie that is?
Right of course yep. So he could have done the same thing,
but I think you want to be cool. He want to be buds with
the Rolling Stones. He put on that he did that concert film with them
years later, which he came out and admitted was he was dishonest because the
beginning of that Shine of Light, he said, he has clips of them,
and you know, these guys who looked old then then it was like
twenty years ago, and they going to, what's song are we going to
play? And they go, well, Mick won't tell us, And he
manipulated that. You know that those film clips that make it seem like they
weren't, they were gonna be. They're gonna be what we're gonna be open
with. Well, someone said these guys are like seventy years old, they're
gonna open It would stop me up. Okay, that's gonna be. That's
the first time they always play. And he came to and he tried to
build some drama into that news being dishonest and you just can't. And I
always sounded like a snob saying, but you just can't do that. You
know, you can't be dishonest if you want you're taking you're like stealing some
of the money of the ticket Greek club, club club with music. He's
shaking and said, yeah, that is I mean, it's just you.
You. How could anyone sit down and talk about movies with you? Because
you hate every one of them? But I don't hate everyone. I don't
hate every one of them. I just say that most of them some of
them. Have you ever seen a movie called A Knight's Tale? Yes,
that's a really good leaguer. But but they used David Bowie music. But
that I fit though that well, it didn't fit perfectly. Night sales are
really good, I know. But you know again when they first when they
heard him and her first dancing, and it's you know, and then every
now and then they throw one chunk of Bowie in there, but it didn't
ada wait a minute, and then all of a sudden they go right into
it and it's like, it's amazing the way they did that. That's a
good movie and that and that Keith, what does day men who led he
Leger died in the with the two Olsen ones. What was going on there?
Did you ever see him in their life? Johnny Docco? Did you
ever watch Johnny? Yeah? I mean, oh, it's what an incredible
when he played the Joker in one of the Batman movies and he's just really
he's just knocked it out of the party, knocked out of the movie.
That's too bad. Yeah, that's too bad. But n Tale A Nights
Tale is really good. It's one of those movies it's just you know,
you just you just get into it and it moves, you know, right
from the beginning. Am I the only one who thinks? Now, the
girl that he was after this is what you got? Allow you to be?
Go ahead, go ahead, her handmaiden. I think it was hotter
than her. Okay, here's the problem, and I know the one side
story. If you look at they the major female lead in that movie,
she looks like Angela Jolie's not so attractive cousin. Okay, And the problem
is they wanted Angela Jolie to do the movie and she got by the time
they get going, she was too famous to do it. Okay, But
I agree with you she's not. She's not leaving her like Hepburn. It
points like some of the gut ups she had on was so futuristic. But
you were talking about Sussmann. I know you're talking about her, her handmaiden
with the long hair. Yes, I found her more to be far more
attractive than her, but that's that's just me. Hey, listen, we
talked about Mia Mia Farrell earlier with the Boy. Yeah, when when Frank
told Dean Martin he is marrying Mia Farrow, you know, said I got
Scotch older than her. And her hair was so sure, she had a
boy's haircut her. She was a big stubb and she's on Peyton Place.
She had this long kind of sixties hair and all of a sudden she kind
of she did Roachmaries baby, and she was like back up, yeah,
yeah, yeah with that perf funny Woody Allen film or two Yeah, well
oh yeah, yeah, okay, good movie. Yeah. Yeah. She's
ver interviewed on let him in and stuff, and she's you know, she's
okay to be in that. I was married until her daughter came and lived
together. They never got married. Did you have a kid with him?
Yes, yeah, And she adopted a bunch of kids at that and he
took off with one of them. And that's and he takes off with the
Korean adopted kid. I mean, that's why he's a smutch, you know
what I mean? You know that guy I should have brought up what he
should have? You should have I gotta say to him, you know,
right now, we'll cut this up of him, because you know, he's
one of these guys who is in so much with like this Manhattan money crowd,
and they give him like two or three million bucks and he gets these
actors up here in the film for nothing. I mean he this is on
record, okay, and he makes the same freaking movie over and over again,
you know, and and who cares? And he's in and who would
do that? You know what? The he's just I just don't like him.
He's pretty gross. Yeah, when the wife finds pictures of him,
the naked daughter like in his yeah, he stopped for going. Hey wait
a minute, excuse me, when did this happen? What happened? Yeah,
Kassa, what's happened? What's going on here? Anyway? Hey?
Tip about k Pasa? What what's the time there? Coppilat Well, We're
at thirty nine seventeen and we started at forty three. This is exciting,
so we should be uh landing some Well, yeah we should. We're getting
We're getting way out of ourselves. This is the first edition of mc maloney's
Hollywood X Files. Let's see what happens. So well, thank you very
much, Gang for mentioning the movies to me. I just want to say,
your movies to me, I don't I don't hate every movie. I
think there were a lot of really good, good movies out there. It's
just that there's a lot of crappy movies out there too, that for some
reason get popular, you know what I mean. Like you say Tom Cruise,
for instance, everything that Tom Cruise is not everything. Most stuff that
he's in he's in it because he's a movie style. You know what I
mean. You watched you watch the movie and you can't help but think that's
Tom Cruise. Can't help but think that's Jack Nicholson or Harrison Ford or whatever.
Okay, so but Tom Cruise just like the same. This is like
the same problem that I have when it comes to sitcoms, because there's a
laugh track that's telling you what you're supposed to laugh at and when so people
assume that it's funny and they're all trash. Yeah, all sucks. I'm
going to be the first one to tell you guess what sucks. Friends the
Big Bang theory. I don't know any other sitcom ever sucks. And that
is why except Circus. Seinfeld has a has an exception because Larry David is.
I mean, I feel like at this point Larry David needs to start
a religion and I would join it. Really, Seinfeld is exempt. But
you know what I'm talking about when I say that, And that's where like
the trendy movies, they fall into that spot because Irish Faulty Towers longer,
it's a Faulty Towers making a Faulty Towers film, I believe. Really difference
that's not going to be mainstream enough for people to care. That's the thing
that's the difference. There's that disconnect because people are told this is funny,
this is what you need to watch. That's why these movies get made,
and they're just like mediocre at best, right right, I agree with you
hundred percent. I would just say this, the first two or three years
of Sign of Funny, the first two, maybe two and a half years
of big bang of funny. What happens is when you in the in the
Office is another example. I watched The Office. I thought I was the
only person in the world watching mad Man. Same thing. The first two
years of a really good show I usually their best years. And what happens
when they get popular, you know, I don't know what the I don't
know what the reason is is the writers want more money, or the writers
move on to all the shows and stuff like that, and and they run
out of storylines. I don't know what it is, right, But usually
the first two years I really the best. Okay, but I agree with
you. There is some movies like there's a memic king Queen's with what his
name is? It's fine. Whatever I put on bed right exactly exactly,
that's perfect, perfect, you know. But he came back, sleep aid,
he came back. He came back in a different show, well,
you know, probably two years ago, and that also sucks. And it
was like boom, so stupid and so not funny and just so it's unbelievable,
you know. And that Lane from What's your Name? From Seinfeld,
okay, who was kind of a good actress she was in she was in
a sitcom for a long time. The kids says, yeah, what was
it? Uh? You know it was terrible, absolutely terrible. Okay,
she came back. And the thing I will say, whether show like mad
Men or like Breaking Bad, because those aren't considered like a sitcoms. But
they kept the series short because I think they reached five seasons. Yeah that's
the sweet spot. Yes, get out at five seasons, six tops,
and then you're done like a big bang. When like twelve thirteen seasons is
like one season too far in my opinion, which was the first season.
It needed to end at episode one? It was pretty good through most of
the never sorry, I never watched Seinfeld seem Yeah, no use it.
You're going to join you in the fist fight. Okay, listen, So
I guess we're gonna wrap this up right. Yeah, we're gonna run over
joining that Larry David religion. I'm going to start throwing crucifix Can I tell
you something? Larry David assaulted me at a at a Boston Red size game.
Do want to hear the story? We wait? So we went to
my brother, you know, my brother and spouses went to a Yankees,
Red Size Can. This is a long time ago. And but when Curb,
your enthusiasm was on, and there's a there's a good example. The
first three or four years the Curb, it was hilarious. Now it's it's
like, wow, how bad? How do you know? How do you
not know? This is bad? You know? So anyway, so we're
walking through. We had a couple of beers, let's say, and here
comes down the stairs from the you know, from the from the the box
is the expensive bunches, Larry David, right, and he's with a girl.
He's with two or three guys, and he's with a woman who I'm
sorry, but looks like a hook. I'm sorry, you know, but
she was you know, I kind of tell me so. But I was
a big Larry David fan. So I went over to one of them and
I said, hey, Larry David, I just want to shake again.
And I and I put my hand out and he he all in one motion
he grabbed the pinky finger of my hand, shook it, but then pushed
me back with that. Okay, so if you can admitte that and then
pushed me back and then kept on walking. You know. And my brother
my brother goes you know who knows who you are? Anyway, called to
Larry David at the Red Slackscape. Anyway, on that new should we just
tell you to curve my brush with greatness? Anyway, let's wrap it up.
So this has been our first uh at Macaloney's Hollywood ex for the house.
Okay, we seem to have a lot of fun. I'm talking about
the evidence around us. It looks like we had a good time. So
I want to thank everybody. Why didn't I stop by thanking club Club the
adult in the wrong? Thank you for joining us. My pleasure, my

Yeah, can I just say it's nineteen sixty four. My father had
a Buick, a big, big, big Buick. Okay, at the
backseat was like you could put bunk beds in there. You know what I
mean. We think we did the punch of driving down in Dutch. It's
too bad, exes and nonsina. It turned into an X rated driving before
it. When they're not out of business, we would like stick about nine
people in the trunk of the car. I'm not kiddy and I'm bringing in.

Troops just go for on Google. Home Shot Troops. They're a military organization
that does a lot of good work for our wounded veterans. They built them
houses that are adaptable to their needs and then they rip up the wills and
then give them the keys and then then go and rejoin. Uh. Uh,

game. Let's say, okay, Home Shot Troops, please Google and see
what they're about. And also mc maloney's uh latest book, What's it called?

how right, that's a sequel. How did dump a body at sea?
And I can out the al Ferrari story. You know, it's got a
lot of buzz, a lot of people seem to like it. So we're
giving away some free books in the come of weeks, so I keep an
eye out for that, and I think that's it. I just want to
say that, as we say every week, John McCain was not a loser.
He was a y hero, He was a wounded veteran, he was
