How are you doing, Antonio? 6 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:27.879 Hi? 7 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.959 Well, Holly alone, how are you? 8 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:32.959 I'm doing very well considering what we're going to be 9 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.280 talking about tonight. This is two in a row for filmmakers, 10 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.840 though this one is an actual anthology. This one was 11 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.840 released on November ninth, twenty eighteen. This is the ballad 12 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.599 of Buster Scrugs. 13 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:03.680 People are so easily distracted, So I'm the distractor with 14 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.560 a little story. People can't get enough of them because well, 15 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.080 they connect the stories to themselves, I suppose, and we 16 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.000 all love hearing about ourselves. So long as the people 17 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:22.800 in the stories are us, but not. 18 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:38.360 Us, you will tail to tail.

I will just have to seem crazy. 27 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:37.280 Business first, time. Yes, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was 28 00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.120 a written by Joel and Ethan Cohen and directed by 29 00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.479 Joel and Ethan Cohen. Well, I should point out that 30 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.159 two of the stories here are based on previous materials. 31 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.639 All Gold in the Canyon was written by Jack London 32 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.120 and The Girl Who Got Rattled by Stewart Edward White. 33 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.680 This one stars James Franco, Brendan Gleasee. This is in 34 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.120 no particular order, James Franco, Brendan Gleeson, Bill Heck Grainger, Hinds, 35 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:03.120 Zoe Kazan, Liam Neeson, Blake Nelson, John Joe O'Neil, Saw Rubinik, 36 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.800 Tom Waits, Chelsea Ross that I mentioned Tyan Daily She's 37 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.800 in it too. And this is as I said, This 38 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.560 is an anthology film, a Western anthology film. Those are 39 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.639 fucking rare. I can only think about a handful of them, honestly, 40 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.240 like grim prairie tales. But six stories set in the 41 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.560 American frontier, all in different sections of the American frontier, 42 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.879 all the different landscapes, all the different experiences. Everything you've 43 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.839 heard about of the American experience in the Old West. 44 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.079 You're going to get a little slice of the bitterest 45 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.120 parts of them. Antonio, I'm sure you've watched this immediately 46 00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.439 when it was released on the Netflix years ago. This 47 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:45.560 is their first film that, although released technically in theaters, 48 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.879 was a straight to video situation. 49 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.720 Yeah, well it. 50 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.800 Was technically released in theater sports limited on and then 51 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.600 writes in Netflix, but calling not straight the video, everything 52 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.519 straight the streaming now'sas's last movie went straight the max, 53 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.199 just like, at least get. 54 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:04.000 A nice little. 55 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.439 But that's a whole another thing, a whole other discussion. 56 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.519 This is their last beating other too so far so Corney, 57 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.079 anybody I've read that they've got something in the works again. 58 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.839 They went and flunched their muscles on their own. Joel 59 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.160 did the just phenomenal, sonomenal, sonomenal, phenomenal The Death with 60 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.720 Denzel Washington and Francis mcdormott and Ethan did. 61 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.680 Drive Away Dolls, Driveway Doll, which is great. 62 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.279 Yeah. Is that christ over a Christian store? 63 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.759 No, no, no, no no, it's Margaret quality. 64 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.879 Margaret Qualley okay was creating it. 65 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.560 Oh yeah, And a lot of the sort of clever 66 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.399 Coen Brothers dialogue, A lot of those clever Coen Brothers 67 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.480 plot twists okay, fully on display. The more show body 68 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:56.240 of the of their cinema, I think is in Ethan's Corner. 69 00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:57.319 Interesting. 70 00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.279 I think if there's a there's a moment in a 71 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.600 Coen Brothers movie like cinematically where you go like WHOA, 72 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.959 why did that? Was cool? Probably even behind it all 73 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.800 the solid filmmaking seems to be coming from Joel though, well. 74 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:10.560 Because that was solid, and the way he does the 75 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.879 one lady playing the three waitches, it's just all so good. 76 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.040 Back from Buster Scrugs, which is a delightfully fun movie 77 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.920 about death's. 78 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.720 Hey, it certainly is that there are six tales presented 79 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.959 to us. One of them is hopeful, only one really, 80 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.399 and that one is provided by Jack London. Not exactly 81 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.959 the like a laugh riot of a man, not even remotely. 82 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.959 A laugh light of a man, but an amazing performance. 83 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.399 From Tom Waits, absolutely. 84 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.600 Comp her daughter was Tom Waits because I watched it. 85 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.759 I haven't seen it in a minute a year. I've 86 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.279 seen it a few junks, but every time I'm kind 87 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.079 of he said, I wish sheepen than bour things. 88 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.560 Yeah, as do. I always think about his performance in 89 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.000 Rumblefish and Dracula and. 90 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.759 The Cop Club, all the Cotton Club, Yeah. 91 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.199 And. 92 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.959 Yeah, and the other thing I think I'm thinking about 93 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.480 lately because later this week I'm recording a podcast about 94 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.639 pet Cemetery, the nineteen eighty nine movie is Fred Winn's 95 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:18.160 performance in The Cotton Club is so fucking good as 96 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.720 Bob hoskins right hand. 97 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.639 Man, Cheed Gwinny's was a lot better than that pop 98 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:24.800 culture understands. 99 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.920 They just were all that was a guy from the Munsters. 100 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.959 I'm like, yeah, yeah, but he had this long ass 101 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.519 career as a character actor too, Like he's was his 102 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:34.199 last one? 103 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.800 Was he the last way went the Judge in My cousin. 104 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.319 Vimy, that's the last one I remember him in. Yeah, but. 105 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.319 Us anyway, Yeah. 106 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.360 A perfect Southerner, and he's a perfect old Northern main 107 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.480 fella in pet Cemetery anyway, That's neither here there we're 108 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.319 talking about Buster Scruggs here, folks talking about the American West, 109 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.319 talking about the Cohen Brothers. We're talking about let's just 110 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:00.240 talk about the fact that and I love this movie 111 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.199 starts and they've presented the film as if it's a book. 112 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.160 So we see the book that this old sort of 113 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.720 leatherbound novel that is the collection of these stories filled 114 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:16.439 with plates like beautiful Wiler esque drawings of the essential 115 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.199 scene from each of the vignettes we're gonna get, as 116 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.040 well as a handy little quote underneath it that becomes 117 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.000 all the more resonant when you see it like in 118 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.839 context in the movie. I just love all of that 119 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.279 sort of artifice. It reminded me of the Old West 120 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:36.559 type pictures that they're pinballing against here before we get 121 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.240 into the meat of each of the stories. Like overall, 122 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.600 on rewatching this movie, it is all about death, and 123 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:44.879 it is specifically about the death of the Old West, 124 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.279 isn't it. 125 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.600 Yeah, the death of the Old West, death of the 126 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.279 Western genre. 127 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.480 That specifically, I think is what I mean. What we're 128 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.480 given here in each of the stories are plays not 129 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.440 only on the on the mythic elements of the American 130 00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.759 Old West, but on the way that it's been presented 131 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.080 to us over and over again. We really in each 132 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.600 of these segments we get little different genres of Old 133 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.440 West storytelling that we've seen probably hundreds of time, but 134 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.600 that their natural conclusions. 135 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:23.240 On everybody does but Tom waits, But that's still that 136 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.679 that death is the big part of it, and it 137 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.679 is and it's just everything is oppened. Oh, and that's 138 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.360 the way it goes. It's almost like a weird companion 139 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.279 fist A Million Ways to Die in the West. 140 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.759 It's like Parlotte movie. And again that's another movie about 141 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.519 the Old West and death and the genre itself, like 142 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.840 the examination of the genre. This is a very traditional 143 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.679 Hollywood zone that it looks like it kind of just 144 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.399 been made by MGMI. 145 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.399 I'm surprised that it's not shot in Academy yet surprising 146 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.039 it's not a one three three because just sort of 147 00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.480 a little bit more. 148 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.840 I think, Yeah, I think once you commit to that, though, 149 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:06.759 you're you're restraining yourself. And because and when I think 150 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.039 of American Old West pictures, I tend to think of 151 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.720 the john Ford and I think of VistaVision, you know, yeah, 152 00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.240 exactly technoscope. 153 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.600 Well, what's the word how the West was One? 154 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:19.120 Was it? 155 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.120 The How the West was One? Which is three academies 156 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.320 like smashed next to each other. 157 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:27.879 Yeah, with three Bridge pictures sink down madness? 158 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.240 Well, absolutely madness. I don't know, I watched that in school. Yeah, 159 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.320 you're right, But the sinners Algary's beautiful. This is Deacons 160 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.120 and It's clearly Dickens is like the reads like Dickens 161 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:43.240 or Robert Richardson. Robert Richardson is ali twig in the 162 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.200 book and gives you the most. This is what Cinder 163 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.000 is capable of with all my magic. And I love 164 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.759 him and I think Casino might be the most beautiful 165 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.799 shot will be ever. But there here those Deacons, He's like, 166 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.120 all this gonna type whatever are caught in front of 167 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.399 me and all the leg. 168 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:02.519 Abuse, and he's just tasty. He no hood pa Deacons, 169 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:08.639 no no, no no flares, no no no iris, the 170 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.679 store shirt on, the anti mormic. 171 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.320 Everything he does is clean and pristine, even with the 172 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.120 santuating because a lot of it in Rust's products isn't 173 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.759 super saturated. It's still wildly colorful. Like he just does 174 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.279 a really great job. His stuff is always just a 175 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.759 beauty to so just lovely the way he's I love he. 176 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.279 I already talking about Deacons and then Richardson being almost 177 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.360 the opposite and still being equally amazing, And I'm gonna 178 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.519 talk about those two dudes all day. 179 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.200 And his talents are certainly being flexed here with with 180 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:42.480 this sort of landscape.

When I heard that they were 182 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.639 making a movie for Netflix, I think my reaction was like, Okay, good, whatever, 183 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.559 just give us another Coen Brothers movie. 184 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.519 Yeah and yeah, I see a Colin Brothers movies in 185 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.559 the cinema, but I see them over and over and 186 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:58.200 over and over, and I rewatch their movies. 187 00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.200 That was not good. 188 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.320 With my buddy Y, we were having We're having Drac's Pizza, 189 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.200 and we were talking about cinema versus television and how great. 190 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.320 Television has got. 191 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.519 And I'm like, yeah, but you don't go back to 192 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.240 watch Waking Bad every Christmas. You might revisit it once 193 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.039 or twice over ten years, but you're not going to 194 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:19.240 go back to it and watch. 195 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.240 It regularly like you do a Colm Butters movie. 196 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.759 I go, how new time you've seen Raising Amazonagy and 197 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.879 fifteen times, I'm like, exactly, cinemas, were you adjusted it again? 198 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.039 You study it, you watch it over and over, and 199 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.720 you discover new things in it. That's what I learned 200 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:40.120 about the Coen Butters someone. We are so insanely rewatchable. Oh, 201 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.679 you learn so much every single time you watch with 202 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.080 something new, every time you see it. All tend of 203 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.600 new stuff in this movie. The first time I watched it, 204 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:50.000 I didn't realize that it was a creatus arm out. 205 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.840 That's because it's like I was fucking breezy as a 206 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:57.799 movie like it is a remarkable kind of shiny nihilism 207 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:03.159 that up with like where there is no happy ending, 208 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.159 but somehow that's a happy ending. 209 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:11.200 Yeah, on my favorite piece. It's sure's everybody's favorite piece. 210 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.399 But the Scark is one with the guy's name whose 211 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.639 name he mispronounced, because his name is actually the great. 212 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.679 Tim Blake Nelson. 213 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.200 Not just too great. 214 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.399 I think he might be the finest or the worst 215 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.799 anchor gaining character actor there, and I just love him 216 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.000 so very very much. How do you steal a movie 217 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.399 from both George Corney, I am John Depouro and John 218 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.480 Goodman and everyone light forget it. 219 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.279 That is just him and it'll roll out. 220 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.200 Thousands of the greatest of all time. I'd hear he 221 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.440 should have got it on different spark for Buster Scark. 222 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.360 What just amazing delivery From the first time he says 223 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.559 that was it my dranger. The first note he belts out, 224 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:05.039 wall just ah, I know it all to to I 225 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.240 don't really like where Rogers movies and the way it 226 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.480 ends to hugs Bunny and touch every. 227 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.960 Cartoons definitely texts Avery. There's a moment where there's a 228 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.960 moment where a buster claps his chest and a puff 229 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.559 of dust comes off behind him, shaped exactly like him 230 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.559 that he steps away from. It is straight from text Avery, 231 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:23.440 and and it's just. 232 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.200 Every play with this ya this, This was just a 233 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.679 short film on its own, like the greatest short film ever. 234 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.720 I just I adore every second of it. But I 235 00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.000 wonder how long they the Cohens. 236 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.639 Have been hanging onto that that then done on the 237 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.279 table where he takes the table and the shoes clansy 238 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:40.559 wear on. 239 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.519 Old the pistol, hold on the limit, holding onto that gag. 240 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:45.600 I feel like they came over with that guy where 241 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.159 they were a kid and we're just wonder to day 242 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:48.919 we're gonna make a Western and we're gonna do this 243 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.120 because ah it's so good and again Template just kill 244 00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:58.440 me what that's and his monologue was so delightful, and 245 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:02.039 it's just he's such a love skirt and yeah, those 246 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.639 same guy and. 247 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.519 He's just so charming and adorable. Ah, it's a great 248 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.360 piece of movie. 249 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.440 Naked evidently in an interview I read with Tim Blake Nelson. 250 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:14.559 He was given this piece whole cloth in two thousand 251 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.039 and two and was told, but we've got to come 252 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:17.600 up with more. 253 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.639 Wow, they start on it for that long story him. 254 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.000 They spent the next two decades basically coming up with 255 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:29.039 other stories worthy of that opening for a movie. Let's 256 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.000 talk about the opening. It is an ode to Roy Rogers. 257 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.720 It starts with buster scrugs, ballad, buster script. We know 258 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.200 he's this legendary character, they've told us in the fucking 259 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.919 title of the movie. And so he comes in singing 260 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.799 a song, and we get him going to a he's 261 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.679 fourth wall breaking, narrating, talking directly to the camera. Takes 262 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.799 us to a canteena where he goes in and faces 263 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.799 what is your typical sort of bad guy group in 264 00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.840 an old West Western film, which he then dispatches a 265 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:07.480 little brutally, molably, a little efficiently, but still this is 266 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.320 Ry Rogers. We've got here right. So now he's never 267 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.200 not polite about it, that's right, and he never draws first. 268 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:20.000 It's a fair fight. Nevertheless, it's anyway. He goes onto 269 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.960 a town where he joins a poker game where everyone 270 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.679 is unarmed. But unfortunately, as you mentioned, Clancy Brown across 271 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.080 the table from him does have his pistols on him. 272 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.120 What has been squeaky clean up until this point turns 273 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.679 into a fucking blood bath here. I was shocked at this, 274 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.039 At this, I was shocked that it was the Coen 275 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.879 Brothers doing it. Honestly, I didn't expect the level of 276 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:44.519 gore that that we were about to get. 277 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.879 Well, I don't think they'd ever really shied away the 278 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.440 first couple of big brillers crossing the gangster movies. 279 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.679 No, not violence. I expect violence from him since blood simple, 280 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.600 I've expected the violence, but the gore, yeah, the over 281 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.240 the top up like going for it, like I did 282 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.119 not expect the Peter Jackson version of the Cohen Brothers. Well, Sam, 283 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.119 I think you're right. The Sam Raimi version that's more perfect. 284 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:16.000 Because because there is that cartoon level of violence in it. 285 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.440 But again, I yes, it's a boy Rodgers, but I 286 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:22.759 again see Junck Savery and Chuck Jones in here, took 287 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.119 along with Daffy and the one went bugs buddy and 288 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:29.079 can ask them Nasty can Aska whatever his name was, 289 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:31.920 and then of course TEDx Adan too is various ones, 290 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.920 But there's definitely a cartoon element to it, and that's 291 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:35.359 what I think. 292 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.680 The violence was definitely like a cartoon violence. Seventy. 293 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.559 Sam Level even put that thing where he's just kicking 294 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.359 at the table and he's doing it. 295 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.559 With that's elite. But I'm just it's a great gag. 296 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.920 It is a great he is a fan of violent 297 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.559 movie gangs. That's a pretty good one. 298 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.160 Yeah, And there's something to be sent for enthusiasm, right. 299 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:57.480 It's why we love ed Wood as much as we 300 00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.359 do now because of how much gusto he goes with 301 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:04.559 everything he does.
