00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:03.799
<v Speaker 1>To what links will one man go to seek out

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:09.599
<v Speaker 1>his destiny? Would any obstacle or responsibility stop him if

3
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>he believed the path he was on would result in

4
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the fulfillment of his wildest dreams, even if those dreams

5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>seemed unfeasible, impractical, and far fetched to all the closest

6
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.879
<v Speaker 1>people around him. That's the plot of Marty Supreme. I'm

7
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Young Junior, and I'm leaving the theater.

8
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>All right.

9
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>This is Ronald and I am leaving the theater after

10
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 2>seeing Marty Supreme. Marty Supreme written by Ronald Bronstein and

11
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Josh Safti, directed by Josh Saftie, starring Timothy Chalomey, Gwyneth Paltrow,

12
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Odessa Azion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler okonma Abel Ferreira, and Fran Dresser.

13
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>And for complete cast listing, you can go to the

14
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 2>link in our show notes. It is just me today.

15
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>This is the last review of twenty twenty five. If

16
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you are following at Oz big Ron Studios on Instagram,

17
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>you probably saw our top ten list. Marty Supreme was

18
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the ones I would not have been able

19
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>to judge in time. To make the top ten list,

20
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.759
<v Speaker 2>spoiler alert, it would not have made my top ten

21
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 2>for the year anyway. I will not tell you the rating.

22
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you the rating at the end. But

23
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel perfectly fine having seen this movie and ranking

24
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 2>it outside of.

25
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 3>My top ten.

26
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Now I want to point out the spoiler that you

27
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>should know is that every movie in the top ten

28
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>got at least a four. So that should tell you

29
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>something right off the bat where this review is going, okay.

30
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Marty Supreme is a movie loosely based on the life

31
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>of Marty Riser, who was a table tennis player. In

32
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 2>this film, his name is Marty Mauser. He is a

33
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Jewish table tennis player who lives at looks like in Brooklyn,

34
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>New York, in the nineteen fifties.

35
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 3>He is depicted as.

36
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Not super responsible through the eyes of the adults that

37
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>are in his life now he is twenty three, but

38
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.080
<v Speaker 2>will say his mother, his uncle, other people that are

39
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.639
<v Speaker 2>around him kind of respond to him as if he

40
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>is irresponsible, and he's shown throughout the film doing a

41
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of irresponsible things. He is on a quest to

42
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>become a great ping pong player, and it is kind

43
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of set up like a biopic, but it is not.

44
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Again loosely based on the life of Marty Reiser, who

45
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know well enough to know how accurate this is.

46
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't like it as a film.

47
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like it now as a feat of performance

48
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>from Timothy Chaloumey. Very good, very good, But I already

49
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>knew he could act. I already knew he could act,

50
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>and I don't necessarily think that he told me anything

51
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 2>new about himself through this performance. I've been looking at

52
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>reviews in which people have been saying that this is

53
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>a career defining performance. I don't know if this is

54
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>that for him. I do think that maybe it expands

55
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the offers he may get in the future, and maybe

56
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 2>his abilities. He's more physical in this film, but he's

57
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 2>also physical in Doune, So.

58
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

59
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It's You know what bothers me about this film is

60
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 2>that in a lot of ways, it is the same

61
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 2>movie as Uncut Gems, which is a movie done by

62
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Josh Safty and his brother Benny when they were directing

63
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 2>movies together. This has been the first year which they

64
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>started directing movies apart from each other, with Benny Safti

65
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>giving The Smashing Machine, which is very very quiet for

66
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Season, which makes me think that I was right

67
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>with my review and assessment of that film and this one,

68
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>which is done by Josh Safty Marty Supreme. Now it's

69
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.040
<v Speaker 2>getting a lot of accolades right now. It has a

70
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>ninety five percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now, and I

71
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of this has to do because it's

72
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a Safty brother and it's Timothy Chalomey. But watching the film,

73
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 2>I did not feel, outside of Timothy chalo May's acting,

74
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.759
<v Speaker 2>that anything was emerging in front of me that I

75
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>was seeing something career defining. To cite another movie in

76
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 2>which I did see that but maybe didn't enjoy the

77
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 2>movie that much was watching Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons

78
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>in Bogonia, a movie that also did not make the

79
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Top ten list, but I definitely gave it accolades for

80
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 2>both of these two clocking in and doing their job.

81
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Timothy shallow May does his job in this film. But

82
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:07.079
<v Speaker 2>because this movie is so much like Uncut Gems, it

83
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 2>sells me a false promise. It tells me that I'm

84
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>going to see a story about a man who is

85
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>relentless in his attempt to.

86
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Reach the highest heights of table tennis.

87
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>And parlay that into some sort of good old fashioned

88
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>American rags to riches stardom. And this idea of trading

89
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>up is exactly the storyline in Uncut Gems. Adam Sandler

90
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 2>is hustling the entire movie, robbing Peter to pay Paul,

91
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to consistently try to trade up from the sapphire that

92
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>he acquires to trying to auction it to get this

93
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 2>money so it could pay off this guy. All of

94
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that is coming up in this film. At some point

95
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>he has robbed of that is rightfully his. All of

96
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>that happens in Uncut Jims, but all of that also

97
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 2>happens in Marty Supreme. Here is a man that is

98
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 2>on a relentless quest to trade up in order to

99
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>get what he needs in order to go to Tokyo

100
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>for this. It is the whatever you want to call

101
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the it's the like imagine the Grand Slam of table tennis.

102
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 2>We'll call it. It is the Grand Slam of table tennis.

103
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll call it. It is a Grand Slam, but in

104
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 2>table tennis terms, so very big tournament means a lot.

105
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.800
<v Speaker 3>There's prize money, all of that good stuff.

106
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>I just think this film wastes a lot of time

107
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.199
<v Speaker 2>with Shenanigans, and I know the Safti brothers love Shenanigans,

108
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.959
<v Speaker 2>and this just feels like it's hamstrung.

109
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 3>In the Shenanigans.

110
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 2>We're just stuck watching him try to get what he

111
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>needs to get to Tokyo while also making terrible decisions

112
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>and doing awful things, definitively awful. He's not a likable

113
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>character whatsoever. And I find that because I'm not getting

114
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>much out of him about how he sees about how

115
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>he sees himself. And when I say that, I mean

116
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>outside of him seeing himself as a star and possibly

117
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 2>rising and making it to the end, I don't know

118
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>enough about him. It's strange because I guess we do

119
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 2>learn something about him, but not what I think we

120
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 2>should have learned to truly get his motivations, especially by

121
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 2>the time we get to the end of the film.

122
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>At the very end of the movie, I remember thinking, Oh,

123
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>what was that. There's a thing that me and my

124
00:08:53.720 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 2>friend Michael say, which is we there's the musical Hamilton.

125
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>At the very end of the musical, they all of

126
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 2>a sudden start singing about the orphanage, the orphanage and

127
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the way that they put the emphasis on the words

128
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 2>the orphanage while singing about Eliza, you would think that

129
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the entire musical was not about Hamilton or Hamilton's life,

130
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 2>but rather about the orphanage. And that happens at the

131
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 2>end of this film, where Marty is in a place

132
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 2>and he sees us something and then he has an

133
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>emotional response, and I remember thinking, this can't pau oh no,

134
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:41.399
<v Speaker 2>that's the end of the movie.

135
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 3>This can't possibly be the end of the movie. And

136
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 3>that was the end of the movie.

137
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 2>And it puts an emphasis on something where I don't

138
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 2>know what Josh Saftie's perspective is on this film. I

139
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>don't understand. And I feel like, based on this massive

140
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.240
<v Speaker 2>press tour that Timothy Chalomey is taking and based on

141
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 2>the way that critics are responding, this is one of

142
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>those Oscar films in which you just have to get it.

143
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 3>And I did get it.

144
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 2>I got it a few years ago when this was

145
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>uncut Gems, and I really enjoyed Uncut Gems, And I

146
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 2>think what bothers me about watching this film is that

147
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Timothy chalomy is going to get the accolades and the

148
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>acclaim that Adam Sandler should have got for playing a

149
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 2>very similar, if not the same role in Uncut Gems.

150
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Watch those movies back to back.

151
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It is a man that is that is running from something,

152
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>running towards something. It's very amorphous. I have to go alone.

153
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>He's cheating on women. He has a you know, a

154
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 2>main woman and a side woman, you know, like he

155
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>and he's also and Marty Supreme is even more complex

156
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>than that. And then again there's some goons that are

157
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 2>coming after him to get something that he took for

158
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 2>them because he really needed it. Then also, there's no

159
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>real consequences to anything that happens in this film. And

160
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's the difference between Uncut Gyms and

161
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Marty Supreme, which is that in Uncut Gems, there are

162
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 2>real consequences when you get to the end of the film,

163
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>whereas in Marty Supreme, it just feels like several very big,

164
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 2>very terrible things happen, and in the next scene we're

165
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>just okay, off to the next thing.

166
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 3>It seems like we got to do the next thing.

167
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 3>What's the next thing?

168
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>We're doing, Okay, off to the next thing, and it

169
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>just it feels aimless. I think this movie, in the

170
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>first maybe half an hour, I'm into it, and then

171
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it kind of feels like it turns into a series

172
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 2>of kind of loose vignettes, which is it's frustrating, and

173
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>for it to be two and a half hours long

174
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>it for me, it's not even that it overstays. It's

175
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>welcome because it keeps tricking me to stay a little

176
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:06.279
<v Speaker 2>bit longer by essentially enticing me with the main plot,

177
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>which is is this guy gonna make it to this

178
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>table tennis match? And then what's gonna happen there? And

179
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>it's subverting a lot of sports movie and I guess

180
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>mission movie tropes in a very specific way, because at

181
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 2>some point this movie is basically like, no, it's not

182
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 2>about table tennis. It's about this man and this character,

183
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>And just for me, it would have been fine for

184
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>it to also be about table tennis. We've seen plenty

185
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 2>of biopicks in which they cover the man and they

186
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 2>cover the thing that they're doing. Now, technically this isn't

187
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.080
<v Speaker 2>a biopic because it's loosely based on someone rather than

188
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.759
<v Speaker 2>actually being about this person. So I don't know how

189
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 2>these stories were told, I don't know how they were received,

190
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>but they all just feel like each of these stories

191
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like the story of a very old man Marty

192
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Reser died when he was eighty five, who was telling

193
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you stories in a bar and you've never heard of him,

194
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>but he's telling you these fantastic stories. It just feels

195
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>like all they did was illustrate those stories. And because

196
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>they're loose vignettes, you don't ever get to know the

197
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.279
<v Speaker 2>character telling the story. Now, I think that is appealing

198
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to some people. It's not appealing to me. I do

199
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>not want to watch this again. I will say I

200
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed watching Timothy Shalomey. I enjoyed watching him. I think

201
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 2>he did do a good job. Granted, I don't think

202
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 2>he did anything I didn't know he could do, and

203
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>it did make me want to see him in more,

204
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily middle of the road movies, but just movies

205
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 2>that maybe aren't always so performance driven, or movies where

206
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:54.440
<v Speaker 2>there's more of an ensemble. I just think that I

207
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.240
<v Speaker 2>know what he's trying to do. He announced what he

208
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>was trying to do last year. He's striving for greatness,

209
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 2>which is good good. I just don't know if this

210
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 2>was the one. With all of that being said, I

211
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>give it a two point nine to nine of five stars.

212
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to watch it again. Timothy Chalomauge acting

213
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.039
<v Speaker 2>was very good for four point twenty five on the acting,

214
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>but the rest of the movie just it was not

215
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>good enough to justify everything else that I had to

216
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.399
<v Speaker 2>sit through. And I would rather just watch Uncut Gems again,

217
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.600
<v Speaker 2>which is a better movie. So for the rest of

218
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 2>the movie, I'd probably give it like below a two,

219
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>but again for his performance, very good. So and the

220
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>last thing I'll say is Frand Dresher is in this movie,

221
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and for the little bit of time that she's there,

222
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 2>I actually really enjoyed her and would have loved to

223
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 2>see more of her. I think this movie does a

224
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 2>weird thing with actors generally, in that there are a

225
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.600
<v Speaker 2>bunch of small roles and cameos played by very notable people.

226
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 3>There is.

227
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Penn Gilette is in this film. Ted Williams, and to

228
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 2>be clear that Ted Williams, who was homeless and then

229
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.480
<v Speaker 2>became a voiceoverstar and then went on Doctor Phil and

230
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 2>basically lost it all. He's in this film. David Mammett,

231
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Disgraced film director David mammontt is in this film. Or

232
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.960
<v Speaker 2>disgraced writer David Mammontt is in this film. George Gervin.

233
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Famed basketball player George Gervin is in this film. Tyler

234
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>the Creator is in this film. Fran Dresher is in

235
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>this film, and fran Dresher gave me a little bit,

236
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>which was good. George Gervin could have probably been played

237
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>by anybody. There's just several roles in this film where

238
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 2>it was distracting enough to see them and be like, Hey,

239
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>what's that guy doing here?

240
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.639
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if that means something?

241
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 2>And then they kind of just they're gone, And so

242
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.720
<v Speaker 2>if I missed that, And maybe part of it is

243
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the point like there's something in common with all of

244
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>these these folks that maybe I just didn't notice, but

245
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 2>felt like a.

246
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Just felt like an.

247
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Easter egg for Easter Egg's sake in some cases, but

248
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.679
<v Speaker 2>woefully underused. Fran Dresher, who demonstrated some range here. I

249
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 2>thought the parts in which she started talking and interacting

250
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.879
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed so, but she's not in it much.

251
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 3>With that.

252
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 2>Leaving the Theater is a production of Oh It's Big

253
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Ron Studio. I mixed this episode. It is currently Christmas Eve.

254
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I am leaving the theater and then ha. See, I'm

255
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 2>leaving the theater and I am headed to hang out

256
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>with friends for mass before I hang out with them

257
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and eat some dinner and then head home to rap

258
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>gifts and get ready to make breakfast in the morning

259
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and open gifts with my family. I fit this movie

260
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.919
<v Speaker 2>in because I wanted to see it now and wanted

261
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to make sure I was able to edit it on

262
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Sunday so that it could come out next Monday, as

263
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 2>the well it could come out today as you're hearing

264
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.279
<v Speaker 2>it today. There's a lot of extra offerings that we've

265
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 2>been offering on the Patreon and I've been producing and

266
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>making those. Just put out Anaconda nineteen ninety seven in

267
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>preparation for the new Anaconda.

268
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Which will drop the first week of the new year.

269
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So as of when I get this episode mixed, by

270
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.839
<v Speaker 2>the time you hear it, we should be prepped for

271
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.680
<v Speaker 2>two weeks in leaving the theater, which gives me a

272
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a break. But there's still a lot

273
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>more work to be done. There's still a lot more

274
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>movies to see, a lot more content to create for

275
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.599
<v Speaker 2>offerings on Patreon and beyond. This is a lot of labor.

276
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:51.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm not just sitting tight. I'm planning, I'm thinking, I'm

277
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 2>cutting tape, I'm making I'm recording all of it so

278
00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>that you get to hear a good show every single week.

279
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>And the audience has been great. Our numbers have been

280
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 2>up across the board. We are doing much better in

281
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>terms of downloads than we were this time. I don't

282
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>know three years ago. We've been steadily improving. I stopped

283
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 2>looking into downloads. I've recently started looking at them again,

284
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:16.720
<v Speaker 2>realizing that our low number or our high number, has

285
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>gotten much higher. And our low number has also gotten

286
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>much higher, which is great, which means we're getting a

287
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.319
<v Speaker 2>lot more listeners and a lot more downloads. But all

288
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 2>of this is labor. It's a labor of love, but

289
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 2>it's still labor. If that means something to you, consider
