Nominees are getting digested, and 20 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.079 with ten movies, you got to really digest them. You 21 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.879 can't just start talking about them as soon as they're nominated. 22 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:16.719 Because there's a bunch of stuff here, like I never 23 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.920 heard of that. We've got the Grammys going on as 24 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:26.719 we speak and but January, which is usually where they 25 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.079 dump bad movies and we just kind of wait for 26 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.840 the awards. There's some surprises out there right now. 27 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.959 Are we getting like audience noise from the Grammy party 28 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:37.439 right now? 29 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:38.400 Is that what's happening? 30 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.040 Yeah? I have the Grammys. Oh we are at the Grammys. 31 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.239 I was like, oh my god, we're there. 32 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.280 We are live at the Grammys. Right here on Everything 33 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.200 looks good so far. Who is that over there? Is 34 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:50.879 that Tupac? 35 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:56.439 It's the Hologram. They invited the Hologram onto the red 36 00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:57.159 carpet this year. 37 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.519 I mean, I know that AI has been a little 38 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.079 hot topic, so it's really sweet for them to okay it. 39 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.920 I turned it off, but can you still hear it? 40 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:06.599 Yeah, we're good. 41 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.240 I hear something where? Okay? Anyways, the Grammys. I don't 42 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.639 know if anybody here knows anything about the Grammys, but 43 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.159 to me, it's the worst that television has to offer. 44 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.840 It's prob I mean, I realize they have to have it, 45 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.800 and they got a wonderful Grammy museum. They're giving out 46 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.919 awards people and it helps their careers, But the product 47 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.240 that ends up on television, to me, is about the 48 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:33.919 worst thing on on on any channel throughout the whole year, 49 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.520 so I don't I just never watch it. I watch 50 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.400 the Academy Awards, that's the Granddaddy of all Academy of 51 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.960 All Awards shows. And I watched the Daytime Emmys because 52 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.080 the Daytime Emmys is full of clips from shows you 53 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.560 never see, would never see it in a million years, 54 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.560 like the best soap opa scenes of the year. I mean, 55 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:53.919 that's a good time to tune in. 56 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.240 Honestly, I tuned out the second the Cable Ace Awards vanished. 57 00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.840 Well, the Cable Ace Awards, that's a sad story too. 58 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.240 I actually end up with the kids the Industry Dance 59 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:08.439 Awards every year at the the what's it called the 60 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.199 Avalon now, I know what you're talking about. And I 61 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.199 end up there because I'm in the relatives in the 62 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:18.639 dance and I was dating Jojo for a while before 63 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.439 before I got married. No Jojo jokes here, not which 64 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:34.400 I was telling jokes, so uh, she's not really was 65 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:39.759 barking up the own tree. Okay, that's not true, all right, 66 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.840 you guys. And then we have the so we're gonna 67 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.599 go over the the nominees for Best Picture Okay, I 68 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.240 got a lot of stories. I got some good stuff here, 69 00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.879 but I'm gonna start right away with the nominees for 70 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.439 Best Picture. I've seen a couple of them and I 71 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.599 can help you out Number one on Nora, is anyone 72 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:00.840 here in the seen it? 73 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.159 It's on my to do list? 74 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.639 How about you, Sam? I haven't anyways? Directed by Sean Baker, 75 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.960 one of my favorite directors because he directed a work 76 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.759 of genius called Florida Project. Right there we go. 77 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.879 I saw that film years ago. 78 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.040 Yeah, that's a great movie. 79 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:18.720 Yeah. 80 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.800 And then Honora is his new movie. Most of his 81 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:26.439 movies deal with sex workers. This one no different. The 82 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.600 Brutalist saw it today. 83 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.639 Sex workers. You say, there's some. 84 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.600 Sex workers in The Brutalist too. Sex walker sex welca? 85 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.199 Is that your Hungarian sex welka? That's my Australian accent? Okay, sure, 86 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.879 sex walk thank you? Sex walkup? Okay. The Brutalist has 87 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:45.120 sex walkers. 88 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.800 And Australian phobia. 89 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.079 And that movie is about It's the one with Adien 90 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:01.519 Brody plays a Brutalist architect and it's three hours and 91 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:07.399 forty minutes. I mean, I'm like, is a major achievement 92 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:13.319 in motion pictures. It's a major and I the but 93 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.279 at some times I'm like, okay, all right, I get it. 94 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:20.279 Who cares? I don't really care that much. So it 95 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.439 wasn't like like a Nora A great movie, Brutalist I got, 96 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.120 I get it. Good for you, you made a great movie. 97 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.920 I guess. I don't know. So I could. You could 98 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:36.639 watch The Brutalist and you could love it, or you 99 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.720 could say so I don't want I'm not like highly 100 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.959 recommending it, but I will tell you something interesting about 101 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.079 The Brutalist. I'm gonna tell you there is some I 102 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.439 don't know if I should go through. I'm just gonna 103 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.879 keep going through the list because I'll talk a little 104 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.040 bit more about The Brutalist later. How's that sweet? I 105 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.120 think people want to hear all the ten movies. 106 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.240 Yeah, yeah, let's do that first. 107 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.519 They don't want me to just get all bogged down. Okay, 108 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.560 so a complete unknown that is the Bob Dylan Dylan movies, 109 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.680 pretty good biopic until I saw Better Man. Then I 110 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:09.920 was like, okay, just don't even try to make a 111 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.000 biopick because better Man is the new standard. 112 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:12.759 It's the best Man. 113 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.079 Yes, so don't try. If I made a complete unknown, 114 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.519 and I went to see the The Better Man, like 115 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.720 I just quit filmmaking. 116 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.240 It would be completely unknown. You never would I've seen it. 117 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.480 At what point do we get to ten nominees? 118 00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.600 Well, because okay, this is a good question. They do 119 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.519 it so they can broaden out the nominees and they 120 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:33.600 can kind of get some blockbusters in there maybe and 121 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.560 get more people to watch the Oscars. The more the 122 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.279 more movies that are nominated for Best Picture, the more 123 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.800 people will be interested and they'll get higher ratings at 124 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.519 the Oscar telecast. But they're you know, you know how 125 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.720 these people are. They just eat their own so they 126 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:51.519 don't know what they're doing. 127 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.639 Well, and I just see all of these movies. Oh, 128 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.439 these are all the nominees, and everybody likes goes out 129 00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.279 of their way to try to see him. I remember 130 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.279 I went and used to catch as any of the 131 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.040 nominees as possible. And now I look at it and 132 00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.720 I'm like, I can't see all of these movies. 133 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.120 Because you're not the host here. You're not the host 134 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.120 of this, Joe. I have to see all these movies. 135 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.240 I know, and that's why the show's got your name 136 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:11.560 on it. 137 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.160 Okay, so the other one is number four is Conclave. 138 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.480 Another like, you know, a well made movie, a complete heresy. 139 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:21.959 That's a nominee. 140 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:28.600 Conclave really yeah yeah Wow Dune Part two, that's you 141 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.920 know that. I like that movie so much. I thought 142 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.120 the story was so good. I woke up twice too, 143 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:39.000 I could so I can follow the plot. That's someone 144 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.240 else's joke. I'm going to keep saying. It's Amelia Perez, 145 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:44.720 possibly the worst movie ever made. 146 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.600 I want to see it because I love to hate. 147 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:48.720 This is not since Cats. 148 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.759 No, okay, Kats is super good if you're under the influence. 149 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:53.639 It actually makes matter. 150 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.439 Doesn't have any beauty in it, though Cats has beauty. 151 00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:57.600 Kats is a documentary of yours sound. 152 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.839 Yeah, and it has beauty in it and has beautiful 153 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:04.360 people in it. This one not so much. I'm Still here, 154 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.160 which nobody knows what the that's the director like like 155 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.120 talking somewhere going I'm still here. I made this movie 156 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.920 ptnominated for an Oscar Nickel Boys also same thing. I 157 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.600 don't know who knows the substance. That's a good movie. 158 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.959 I wanted to win just because I'm biased and I 159 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:24.519 love it. 160 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.560 And because the last thirty minutes are like a horror 161 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.720 film for that you would normally go see on its own, 162 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:35.519 exactly Wicked. Only three people walked out of that movie 163 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.279 when I went to see it, and there was in 164 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.679 front of me, and I was in the fourth row. 165 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.360 Well because there were only four people there, No. 166 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.559 It was full, but three people walked out in front 167 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:45.320 of me, and then whoever behind me. I have to 168 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.000 like just kind of by doing the math, you would 169 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.840 say like maybe seven or eight people walked out. But 170 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:56.000 again another achievement. There were a lot of good movies 171 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.440 this year. A lot of them didn't didn't make this list. 172 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.279 So let's go back. Is it time to take a break. 173 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:04.840 Let's take a break. 174 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.080 Let's take a break. When we come back, I'll tell 175 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.440 you something interesting about the Brutalist now that I've read, 176 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.480 Now that I've read this whole list and digested it, 177 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.720 Brutalist is the best picture of the year. I mean, 178 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:16.919 Honora is my favorite. 179 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.840 Congratulations to the Brutalist.

You have alternate plan? 190 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.360 Do you have anything better to do? 191 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:04.039 When is it? 192 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.039 I don't know. I'm not paying attention. 193 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:07.879 Yeah, I don't know. 194 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:11.279 They happened pretty sure, Nikki. Can you find out when 195 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.399 it is? I'll tell you what else I'm taking type Okay. 196 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.000 You're already scheduling that you're not going to be doing 197 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:17.559 anything else. 198 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.399 I mean when you lose Joe Ascalante, host of Joe 199 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.000 Scalante Live from Hollywood, you did something. 200 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.120 Well, it looks like it looks like it's actually on 201 00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.399 the day that I definitely have something else to do, 202 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.480 like a doctor's appointment or something at a Sunday March second, 203 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.000 it looks like I'm busy. Actually that day. 204 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.000 It's n that's my twenty ninth winning anniversary. 205 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.720 Is it true you are busy? You cannot be watching you. 206 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.639 And I'm flying home from Brazil that day. I think, no, 207 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.720 I'm flying home from New York that day, and I 208 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:51.159 don't care. 209 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.519 I'll watch it for you all. Report back on the 210 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:55.960 taxi outfits. 211 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.799 We'll see. Okay, So The Brutalist, which I think will 212 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:11.639 win Best Picture, And it's very interesting. They have this 213 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:17.240 like weird way they made it whatever. You know, it's 214 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:21.000 like a VistaVision. It's like some long dormant super high 215 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.559 definition widescreen format. You might have seen it in all 216 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.759 movies you see VistaVision on the screen, like maybe like 217 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:37.440 Giant starring Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean in VistaVision. I mean, 218 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:42.440 there's some epic movies made, so use that. And it's 219 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.919 filmed in a seventy milimeter or released in seventy milimeter prints, 220 00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:51.879 filmed in this division, released in these seventy millimeter Prince 221 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:57.440 and Corbett the director, so he's kind of turned himself 222 00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.919 into some kind of culture warrior by doing it this 223 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.960 old school away. And that's how you made a big 224 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.559 splash in Venice, winning the Silver Lion Award and a 225 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.879 US distribution deal for this thing. And and you know, 226 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:15.080 it's kind of like a laborious process where they have 227 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:21.000 to inventory a bulky twenty six film canisters. They have 228 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.519 to transport around three hundred about three hundred pounds of 229 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.039 celluloid into the theater just to show it. 230 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.679 The labor for the art that was so awesome. Of course, 231 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.440 that's epic clout for them. 232 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.360 Yeah. I love it because at the beginning of the 233 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.399 digital revolution, I myself direct directed a film and I 234 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.519 rejected the digital revolution going on, and I shot it 235 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.919 in sixteen and thirty five millimeter and boy was it 236 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.919 a hassle. Wow, I mean I had to I had 237 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.440 to go and buy the reels of film at Kodak 238 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.240 would be like almost seventy five dollars of each or something. 239 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.200 I forgot what they were and I'd go buy twenty 240 00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:59.120 minutes reels. 241 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.240 So I put together one of those rigs that Tommy 242 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.399 was so did for the room. 243 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.440 He's a dirty name in my industry. So yeah, and 244 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.879 then I had to you know, then I had to 245 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.200 record all the audio on a naugraa the real to 246 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.519 real thing. Then I had to digitize the naga. Then 247 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.320 I had to digitize the First I had to tell 248 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.360 us any the film. Then I had to digitize it. 249 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.879 After I got it, you know, tell us in and 250 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:25.919 then I had to put it all on a computer 251 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:31.039 so that I could use non linear editing, and I 252 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.840 made a making of the making of this movie. Movie 253 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.679 was called Cakeboy. The making of is so much more 254 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.120 interesting than the movie. But anyway, so I love that 255 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.200 this guy did this, so he better win Best Director. 256 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:45.919 The problem with the Oscars this year, and I think it's, 257 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.320 you know, obvious, most people are saying, is they gave 258 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:55.000 thirteen nominations to a movie called Amelia Perez. That is 259 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.000 a movie that I have not met one person besides 260 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.799 my weird sister. Who is who has made it all 261 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.879 the way through to the end of the movie. 262 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.519 Why did your weird sisters stay? 263 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.679 He's weird? Okay, every family has one, sure, you know 264 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.720 out of seven kids? 265 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.879 Okay that yeah, you know what, that'll do a lot. 266 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.080 She's this eccentric, she's her own person. And she just 267 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.279 called me and said, I saw the greatest movie in 268 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.519 the world. It's called me. Well she's called it Perez, 269 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.720 but I think it's Petz. But but if you're if 270 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.279 you're acting in the movie, you're gonna pronounce it wrong 271 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.000 no matter what. Because that's one of the problems with 272 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.879 this movie. There's a bunch of people speaking Spanish that 273 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.840 have fake accents. Nice, and and then it's not going 274 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:39.200 over well with Mexican audiences. It's directed by a French 275 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:42.120 person and the trans world it's about a trans character. 276 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.080 The trans world is not happy about it. Wow, look 277 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.720 at that the transfer. The trans people are like, Hey, 278 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.159 do you think that's what trans is? For a cartel? 279 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.799 This story is about this cartel guy who gets a 280 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.799 sex change operation, you know, to change his identity and 281 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.399 hide or whatever. And is that what you think trans is? 282 00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.159 It's for people to change your identity to avoid a crime. 283 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.480 Gotta say, the premise sounds like something so up my alley, though, 284 00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.639 Holy cow. 285 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.480 Yeah, I mean you're gonna like it because I told 286 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.120 you how bad it was. You're gonna invite your friends 287 00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.879 over and you're gonna get drunk or whatever, and you're 288 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.519 gonna have a good time. 289 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.360 All of my friends who have reviewed it on letterbox 290 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.759 just kind of say, I'm sort of confused, and I 291 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.200 always like the review. I'm like, perfect, it sounds like 292 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:20.799 it's good for me. 293 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:23.440 And my letterbox review was I didn't hate this movie 294 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.399 just because everyone else did. I hated it because it's terrible. 295 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.840 I just liked it. It's so good. 296 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.720 No, I hated it and it was awful. And then, okay, 297 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.279 thirteen nominations. So it's not real because it's not a 298 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.799 movie worthy of thirteen nominations. There's a lot of good 299 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.000 movies out there. You could spread them around, you know. Yeah, 300 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:45.080 but you don't because you give all thirteen to this 301 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.240 movie because you're trying to make a statement. 302 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.519 So if they do bad Spanish accents in this movie, 303 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.039 they get thirteen nominations. And when I do it, I 304 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.600 can't go to my boyfriend's Thanksgiving anymore, got it right? 305 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:56.720 Yeah, so it's not fair to you. 306 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:58.919 Yeah, no, not at all. I've been working really hard 307 00:15:58.919 --> 00:15:59.399 and practicing. 308 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.519 I don't know how to Oh, okay, you know how 309 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.639 you can get your pronunciation down? I have. I have 310 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.919 actually a technique. There is one hundred percent full proof. 311 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.559 He means they will forgot it. What was the tip? 312 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.799 No, here's what you do. Okay, okay, you pray the 313 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.720 rosary every day, okay, but you pray it in an 314 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:27.080 exaggerated Mexican accent like you are in you know, you're 315 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.879 in the movie Nacho Libra or something like. 316 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:30.759 This would be such a funny bit for my roommates 317 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.240 to walk in on. 318 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:39.519 Yeah, you're sitting there in your salve Maria Gratias, senor gondigo, benitatis, 319 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.480 let's mohis and beditas a fruit Jesus, and you just 320 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.559 you become this character. And then what you're doing is 321 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.039 you're exercising these muscles in your mouth, because pronunciation is 322 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.679 all about muscles you don't usually exercise. And when you're 323 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.200 doing this over and over and and the you know, 324 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:01.240 the rosary involves uh, you know, fifty hailman and five 325 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:05.720 are fathers and some other stuff, but it's repetition and 326 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.559 you you are exercising those muscles as part of an 327 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:15.880 exercise uh indiction and elocution. And by the after a 328 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.279 few weeks, you will have exercised all those muscles. And 329 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.759 then when you read Spanish, you'll read it perfectly and 330 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:22.759 you will be that much closer to go in heaven. 331 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.880 So let's let's take a break. But it's Spanish heaven, 332 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:31.119 so things are cheaper, but I'll get okay. Uh, we 333 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.160 will take a break and come back with more.

There's like more than one polka category. There's 355 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.759 this kind of polka in that kind of polka. Yet 356 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.559 no category for punk rock. But I mean, okay, you're 357 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.759 saying I have dedicated my life to punk rock. And 358 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.880 it doesn't matter how successful I am. They wouldn't care 359 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.720 if I live or die, so I don't care if 360 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.319 they live or die. 361 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.279 That's why you don't like the Grammys.
